⿈同學托福⾼分⼼得⽂:28天⼀戰105 推薦SK2的顧問時間

[考試⽇期與成績] 109/3/28 R: 29, L: 30, S: 22, W: 24, Total: 10


[英⽂能⼒敘述] 學測14級 GRE: V 150, Q 17
[考試身分] ⼤四⽣
[準備時間] 1.2⽉上 SK2 Toe 寒假班
原本打算上完課就開始準備,但真正認真準備⼤概是3⽉初

[前⾔
選擇SK2的原因是比較過各家補習班後覺得SK2衝刺班的課程規劃最適合。
[閱讀
經過GRE閱讀的洗禮之後,我覺得托福閱讀應該不難準備,所以也沒有特別花⼼思。準備上
我照著Rosa上課教的skim & scan,做題的時候先判斷題型然後運⽤⽅法,考試前練到幾乎只錯
summary題。另⼀個我覺得很實⽤的⽅法是架構式筆記,因為托福的閱讀算蠻長的,我習慣⽤Rosa
教的⽅法寫架構式筆記,講每段第⼀句話簡略記下來,瞭解整篇⽂章⼤致脈絡後再開始依照題⽬
問到哪段就看哪段做題。這個⽅法有效的幫助我在⾯對不熟悉的主題時提⾼正確率。
上課時Rosa沒有特別強調要背托福單字,⽽是著重在解題技巧的部分,⽽這些技巧著實讓我能
夠提⾼解題速度及正確率。至於單字的部分我認為考過GRE再考托福很有優勢,不僅⽂章裡出現
的學科單字會有印象,單字題更是常常出GRE單字,看到的時候幾乎都會會⼼⼀笑,⾺上秒選得
分。
[聽⼒
第⼀次上課聽到聽⼒題⽬的時候的感想就是怎麼這麼長,題⽬到底要考哪些地⽅,⾳檔⽤說
的我要⽤寫的作筆記怎麼記得下來,但是運⽤Rosa提到的聽⼒8⼤點,幫助我判斷哪些是題⽬會考
的點,像是Emphasis, 複選題訊號字等等。把會考的再記下來才不會記了⼀堆沒有⽤的資訊,⼿酸
⽽且拿不到分數。
⽽上⾯找尋8⼤點的能⼒則要藉由猜題、重聽、紅綠筆檢討來培養,建議底⼦較弱並且離考試
時間較久的朋友可以按步就班把這些步驟做完,對提升聽⼒正確率很有幫助。
[⼜說
我的⼜說很爛,第⼀堂課的時候根本不知道要講什麼,怎麼講到題⽬規定的時間結束,完全
就是抖到爆。但是上完課後照著Show教的架構與技巧講:運⽤wordbank幫助⾃⼰想點︔有聽⼒的
題⽬抄下動詞跟受詞,準備時間再⽤連接詞串起來變成⼀段話。考試前再與戰友們⼀起練習然後
互給feedbacks,還是考到⼀個可以⾃⼰接受的分數。我覺得考試前只要做好搜集⾃⼰覺得好⽤的
wordbank的點︔把模板記熟︔多練習避免緊張︔習慣旁邊有⼈⼲擾。就可以考到⼀個不錯的分
數。
[寫作
獨⽴寫作的準備也是要練習wordbank,透過wordbank想出論點並發想主題句,還有要多練習
TPO,考前⼀天我跟戰友們隨機選了⼀題TPO來刷,結果考試當天出的題⽬完全可以套⽤差不多的
論點來寫,不過我當下可能太緊張所以沒有發覺,重新想論點⽽且還寫的很卡,最後只寫300初
字,考試完才想到論點根本可以⽤⼀樣。我的戰友們考試當下有發現所以順順的寫了400字以上,
最後分數都25+。整合寫作的部分運⽤Rosa的模板將聽⼒聽到的論點串起來,我個⼈認為是⼀件不
難的事。
[⼼得]
我認為SK2最特別的地⽅是課後讀書會以及顧問時間,它們幫助補完習的準考⽣更有效率的進步像
是每週的⼜說讀書會,雖然每次助教約的時候我都耍懶沒有去參加,但⽼實說我現在有點後悔,
說不定當初有參加⼜說就不會只有22分了哈哈。
