  PTE写作考试中一般有2-3个摘要题,每题理论时间10分钟。在每个题目中,考生需要审阅概括一篇300-500字的小文章,并用一句话凝练,长度为5-75个字,如果超过字数是一定会被扣分的。Summarize written text主要考验的是:

  阅读能力:考生需要在短时间内扫描长篇的文章,并理出逻辑脉络。

  归纳能力:考生也需要有足够的遣词造句能力来把内容归纳为一句话。

  千万要注意的事,一定只能用一句话,长度为5-75个字,如果超过字数是一定会被扣分的。

  这题同时考察写作和阅读两个部分。在这个题型中致胜的关键,就是可以快准狠地从原文中找出需要包括在summary中的点。那么有哪几个关键词和关键位置需要注意呢?

  开头和结尾

  一般文章的开头,会交代这篇文章的主要内容,所以通常情况下会很值得被放到我们的Summary里面。

  而文章的结尾,一般会是对文章内容的总结,或者是对某一个分点的总结,无论是哪种情况,我们都可以考虑把结尾放进我们的summary里面。所以做SWT时,找点的第一步,就是先读一下开头和结尾。

  但是值得注意的是,有些文章的开头并不会直接交代文章内容,而是以一个例子引出主题。这种情况其实很好判断,在浏览了第一段的内容之后,看一下文章的其他部分是否还在持续谈论这个内容。

PTE写作:据说SWT的高分门路是找关键词?!

  表示因果、转折的指示词

  如果看到表示因果的指示词,比如Because、so、 therefore、as a result、thus,

  表转折But, although、however、while、still、whereas、nevertheless、yet、on the other hand等等。找到这些转折词可以帮我们省半句话。

  不需要包括任何的例子

  看到表示例子的指示词,例如for example, 那么可以直接跳到例子之后的内容,任何的例子是不需要包括在我们的summary里面的。

  有一些具体的人名地名,如果文章的主题并不是关于这个人或这个地方,那么提到具体的人名地名一般是为了举例,也可以适当地跳过。

  Geothermal Energy

  What is the solution for nations with increasing energy demands, hindered by frequent power cuts and an inability to compete in the international oil market? For East Africa at least, experts think geothermal energy is the answer. More promising still, theKenyangovernment and international investors seem to be listening.This is just in time according to many, as claims of an acuteenergy crisisare afoot due to high oil prices, population spikes and droughts.

  (背景介绍,说Kenyan面临能源危机)

  Geothermal energy works by pumping water into bedrock, where it is heated and returns to the surface as steam which is used directly as a heat source or to drive electricity production.

  (地热能源的运作原理,这类科学设备的详细解释说明都不需要)

  Source: Energy Information Administration, Geothermal Energy in the Western United States and Hawaii. Currently over 60% of Kenya's power comes from hydroelectric sources but these are proving increasingly unreliable as the issue of seasonal variation is intensified by erratic rain patterns.Alternative energy sources are needed; and the leading energy supplier in Kenya, Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen), hopes to expand its geothermal energy supply from 13% to 25 % of its total usage by 2020.The potential of geothermal energy in the region was first realised internationally by the United Nations Development Program, when geologists observed thermal anomalies below the East African Rift system. Locals have been utilising this resource for centuries; using steam vents to create the perfect humidity for greenhouses, or simply to enjoy a swim in the many natural hot lakes.

  (开头解释说明了一大段,就是要说明Kenya面临能源危机,需要开发地热能源来补充不足,主要事件:Kenya最大的能源公司计划要讲地热能源供应从13%提升到25%)

  Along the 6000 km of the rift from the Red Sea to Mozambique, geochemical, geophysical and heat flow measurements were made to identify areas suitable for geothermal wells.One area lies next to the extinct Olkaria volcano, within the Hell’s Gate National Park, and sits over some of the thinnest continental crust on Earth. This is a result of the thinning of the crust by tectonic stretching. causing hotter material below the Earth's surface to rise, resulting in higher temperatures. This thin crust was ideal for the drilling of geothermal wells, reaching depths of around 3000 m, where temperatures get up to 342° C, far higher than the usual temperature of 90°C at this depth. Water in the surrounding rocks is converted to steam by the heat. The steam can be used to drive turbines and produce electricity.

  (第一句,中心句:说为了找到更多合适的地方修建地热井,进行了大量测量。后面举例说明部分就可以删掉啦)

  参考答案

  这篇文章,看似很长,但是中心思想非常简单易懂,总结也非常简短。文章有明确的因果关系,就是“因为Kenya面临能源危机,所以地热能源作为解决措施将开始大规模发展”

  Sample Summary:

  Kenya, which is an East African nation experiencing energy crisis, is now trying to expandits geothermal energy supply from 13% to 25% of its total usage by 2020, attempting tofind more geographical locations suitable for drilling geothermal wells.

  在看文章的时候,大家可以在答题板上简单记一下事件、逻辑关系,这样在写的时候就比较清晰了。
