託福聽力對話的考點分析
對於conversation來說聽懂比記筆記更重要，有些學生就可能要問了：“一篇文章這麼長，我不可能把所有的細節都記在腦海中的”。其實不然，只要我們在聽conversation時抓住其框架，並且把框架裏的一些重要的要點抓住就可以了。下面爲大家分享一篇託福聽力對話考點解析，希望對考生備考有所幫助。
我們知道conversation大體可以分成2類：
1. Service Encounter(一般是學生和學校工作人員之間的對話)
2. Office Hour(一般是學生和教授之間的對話)
但不管是哪一類，學生都是有了問題去找對方的，那麼我們首先要聽明白學生的問題是什麼，學生的問題一般都是由一些信號詞引出來的：I was wondering / I was thinking / My problem is / Here is my question，等等。
下面我們來看一個實例(TPO17-C2)：
Manager
What can I do for you, John?
Student
Well, I work week nights, except for Friday. I was wondering if I could switch from working the dinner service to working at lunch.
對應的題目：
1. Why does the man go to see the woman?
A. To complain about customers.
B. To request an increase in his pay.
C. To ask for a change in his work schedule.
D. To apply for a job playing music in the dining hall.
那麼學生的問題提出來以後就要分析產生這個問題的原因了，當然這個原因學生和老師都有可能說。
我們還是來看一個實例(TPO17-C2)：
Manager
That’s going to be a problem. I am afraid we don’t have any openings at lunch time. A lot of students want to work then, so it is really rare for us to have an open spot at that time of day.
Student
Oh, you see, Ihave joined this group, the University Jazz Band, and the band’s practice time is right around dinner time. You know, it is so hard to get into this group; I must have auditioned like ten times since I have been at the school, so I am...
Anyway, so I was really hoping to have the dinner hour free so I can go to practice.
對應的題目：
2. What activity does the man want to be able to do at dinnertime?
A. Prepare for his morning music classes.
B. Rehearse with a school music group.
C. Play jazz for the faculty in the dining hall.
D. Eat with classmates from his music class.
這裏學生換工作時間的原因就是學生參加了一個大學裏的爵士樂隊，爵士樂隊要排練。
原因分析完了以後一定會針對學生的問題給出相應的建議的，就是解決問題了。
我們也以一道實例來看一下(TPO17-C2)
Manager
Well, if you don’t mind working in the kitchen, we’ve got some pretty flexible hours for students doing food-prep work, anything from early morning to late afternoon.
Student
What’s prep work?
Manager
You prepare food for the cooks. You know, like cutting up vegetables for soup, or cleaning greens for salads.
對應的題目：
3. The woman asks the man to consider a different job. What kind of work would the man have to do for the new job?
A. Get ingredients ready for a meal.
B. Clean kitchen equipment for the cooks.
C. Prepare the weekly menu for the dining hall.
D. Coordinate schedules for student workers.
這道題考的考點就是在給出解決方法上。
所以總結一下，就是對於conversation而言，我們在聽完後一定要能抓住這篇文章的框架：提出問題 — 分析問題 — 解決問題。
那麼在這個大的框架下，還有哪些細節是需要注意的呢?我們看看以下幾個在conversation中比較重要的細節：
1. 老師的要求(學術話題多考)：老師對作業，論文，的要求。
信號詞：required，requirement，you need to, you should…
2. 額外信息(如果文中出現必考)：conversation中的額外信息就是一些其他的人，比如：Classmates, other students等，一定要聽和主角或者主題相關的信息
3. 語氣轉變：明顯語氣轉變，如一些語氣詞：in fact， actually， wow等。
