summary

In this lecture, I was fully impressed by Melissa. Technology maybe a dumb and unreadable discipline. Scientists could have found a way to help us to understand what they have found or invented. We are all fascinated by what scientists are doing, so why not tell us about it—in a way we can understand. We desperately need scientists’ ideas so that we can change the world, they are working on the difficult problems which we are facing, ranging from energy to environment. It is also very important for non-scientists to communicate with scientists otherwise all of the scientific and technology achievements will be no sense. We need scientists to lead us to their wonderland and explore the mysteries in it.

She also share some useful tips on presenting complex scientific ideas to a general audience so that keep the science sexy and the engineering engaging. First, scientists should explain why they study this and how this will help us in our daily life. Second, scientists should care about their words and be aware of jargon. General public need simple and understandable words so that it won’t be hard to comprehend. She quote a saying by Einstein to tell scientists that we need to make everything as simple as possible, not simpler. She advised scientists that they should use single, readable sentences instead of boring presentations to appeal to our senses.

These powerful tips are good ways for us to find the key to wonderland and feel the greatness of science and technology. At last, she used an equation to end this speech, which is to take your science, subtract your bullet points and your jargon, divide by relevance, meaning share what's relevant to the audience, and multiply it by the passion that you have for this incredible work that you're doing. And all of these having been done, we can communicate with scientists happily.

新托福阅读SUMMARY题型解法

对于目标明确,清晰认识自己薄弱的考生一定很想知道托福阅读summary题型该怎么解。接下来上海环球托福为考生解答。 首先,做阅读就要了解掌握文章的主旨是什么,新托福阅读SUMMARY题作为文章最后一种题型,考察的是对文章主要段落的主旨概括能力,而非全篇文章主旨。直白一点说,就是只需要关注文章局部段落,而不需要在意全局。这不同于老托福阅读里面每篇文章都有一道“What is the passage mainly about”这样的全文主旨题。 接着,考生要如何掌握主旨,来完成summary的题目。阅读英语段落的时候,应该是“匀速阅读”还是“变速阅读”呢?当然是“变速阅读”!这样考生才能做到阅读时的详略得当。但是,“变速阅读”是“先快后慢”还是“先慢后快”呢?这就要从英语的思维方式说起。 汉语族人的思维方式是“螺旋式”的,喜欢画龙点睛,我们称之为“Save the best for the last”。而英语族人的思维方式是“直线式”的,喜欢直入主题,我们称之为“Say what you want to say, then say why”。阅读英语段落的要领:变速阅读,先慢后快,精读首句,浏览全段。据统计,70%-80%的英语段落都是首句是主题句。所以,以后阅读英语段落,应该先精读首句(把握首句的“主题”和“方向”),再浏览全段(把握全段的“关系词”),才能实现快速阅读。而很多同学以前阅读的时候,要么就是倾向于到段落结尾找主题句(这主要是受了汉语思维方式的影响),要么就干脆把有限的精力平均分配到一段话内部的每个单词。 说了那么多,上海环球托福为你提出掌握主旨的方法: 1、常用法——分析段落结构找主题句 通过段落结构来概括主旨,常见的段落结构有如下六大类:(1)总分;(2)总分总(由总分演变而成);(3)分总;(4)分总分(由分总演变而成);(5)对比;(6)并列。其中,前四种段落结构都存在主题句和支持句之分。而后两种结构中可能不存在主题句,其段落内部会分成若干个势均力敌的部分,只不过对比结构段落的两部分之间方向相反,而并列结构段落的各部分之间方向相同。一、总分结构 总分结构的主题句一般为首句(如果首句结束后,第二句话存在转折关系,那么主题句就是第二句)。最常见的总分段落的标志就是第二句话前面出现“for example/instance”等举例关系词。如果总分结构段落最后再加一个总结句,就是总分总结构。这种段落结构约占70%。这个方法最大好处是大部分段落都存在主题句,所以能够广泛应用该方法概括段落主旨。这就是“常用法”的由来。但是,该方法的缺点是,如果段落结构比较复杂,又存在大量生词,可能导致我们难以找到主题句。这时候“简易法——重复出现是主旨”就会帮上大忙了。 2、简易法——重复出现是主旨 之所以有第二个方法是因为第一个方法有缺点,常用法的缺点是,如果段落结构比较复杂,又存在大量生词,可能导致我们难以找到主题句。这时候“简易法——重复出现是主旨”就会帮上大忙了。如果一段话在不断重复某一概念,就说明这段话在围绕这个概念展开,这个概念就是这段话的主旨。这就为我们快速把握主旨提供了极大的方便。因此,这种方法称为“简易法”。 在一段话内部重复出现可以分为三种类型。第一种是“原词”重复,但是这也是作者极力避

英文summary写作范例

Article Children Must be Taught to Tell Right from Wrong William Kilpatrick Many of today 's young people have a difficult time seeing any moral dimension ( 道德层 面 ) to their actions. There are a number of reasons why that 's true, but none more prominent than a failed system of education that eschews ( 回避 ) teaching children the traditional moral values that bind Americans together as a society and a culture. That failed approach, called “decision - making, ” was introduced in schools 25 years ago. It tells children to decide for themselves what is right and what is wrong. It replaced “character education. ( 品格教 育 )” Character education didn 't ask children to reinvent the moral wheel ( 浪费时间重新发明早已存 在的道德标准); instead, it encouraged them to practice habits of courage, justice and self-control. In the 1940s, when a character education approach prevailed, chewing gum; today they worry about robbery and rape. Decision-making curriculums pose thorny ( 棘手的 ) ethical dilemmas to students, with the impression that all morality is problematic and that all questions of right and wrong are in dispute. Youngsters are forced to question values and virtues they 've never acquired in the first place or upon which they have only a tenuous ( 薄弱的 ) hold. The assumption behind this method is that students will arrive at good moral conclusions if only they are given the chance. But the actual result is moral confusion. For example, a recent national study of 1,700 sixth- to ninth-graders revealed that a majority of boys considered rape to be acceptable under certain conditions. Astoundingly, many of the girls agreed. This kind of moral illiteracy is further encouraged by values-education (价值观教育 ) programs that are little more than courses in self-esteem ( 自尊 ). These programs are based on the questionable assumption that a child who feels good about himself or herself won 't want to do anything wrong. But it is just as reasonable to make an opposite assumption: namely, that a child who has uncritical self-regard w ill conclude that he or she can 't do anything bad. Such naive self-acceptance results in large part from the non-directive ( 无指导性的 ), non-judgmental ( 无是非观的 ), as-long-as-you-feel-comfortable-with-your-choices mentality ( 思 想) that has pervaded ( 渗透) public education for the last two and one-half decades. Many of today 's drug education, sex education and values -education courses are based on the same 1960s philosophy that helped fuel the explosion in teen drug use and sexual activity in the first place. Meanwhile, while educators are still fiddling with ( 胡乱摆弄 ) outdated “feel - good ” approaches, New York, Washington, and Los Angeles are burning. Youngsters are leaving school believing that matters of right and wrong are always merely subjective. If you pass a stranger on the street and decide to murder him because you need money —if it feels right —you go with that feeling. Clearly, murder is not taught in our schools, but such a conclusion —just about any conclusion —can be reached and justified using the decision-making method. It is time to consign ( 寄出 ) the fads (风尚 ) of “decision - making ” and “non- judgmentalism ” to the ash heap of failed policies, and return to a proved method. Character education provides a much more realistic approach to moral formation. It is built on an understanding that we learn morality not by debating it but by practicing it. Sample teachers worried about students leaving them

Steps to Writing a Summary 1.Read and understand the prompt or writing directions. What are you being asked to write about? Example: Summary of an Article Write a summary of the article. Your writing will be scored on how well you: ?state the main ideas of the article; ?identify the most important details that support the main ideas; ?write your summary in your own words, except for quotations; and ?express the underlying meaning of the article, not just the superficial details. 2. Read, think about, and understand the text. Review the material to make sure you know it well. Use a dictionary or context clues to figure out the meaning of any important words that you don’t know. 3. Take notes. Write down the main ideas and important details of the article. 4.Write a thesis statement. In a single sentence, state the main idea of the article. The thesis statement should mention the underlying meaning of the article, not just the superficial details. 5. Organize and outline ideas. Write down the important details you need to include in the summary. Put them in a logical order. Topic Sentence: Evidence: #1: #2: #3: 6.Write your essay. ?Your summary should be about one third of the length of the original article. ?Focus on the main point of the article and the most important details. ?Use your own words; avoid copying phrases and sentences from the article unless they’re direct quotations. 7.Revise. Have you indented all paragraphs? Have you captured the main point of the article? Have you included the most important details? Is there sentence variety? Have you avoided writing short, choppy sentences? Are there transitional words and phrases to connect ideas? 8. Proofread and edit. Check your spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Is the verb tense consistent? Are all names spelled correctly and capitalized? Have you avoided writing run-on sentences and sentence fragments? 9. Write your draft. Use blue or black ink. Skip lines. Write on one side of the paper only. Include a title on the top line. 10. Read your summary one last time before you turn it in. Look for careless spelling, punctuation, and grammar errors, especially omitted words or letters. Cross out errors neatly with a single line and write the correction above. Original Article: Bats In the distant past, many people thought bats had magical powers, but times have changed. Today, many people believe that bats are rodents, that they cannot see, and that they are more likely than other animals to carry rabies. All of these beliefs are mistaken. Bats are not rodents, are not blind, and are no more likely than dogs and cats to transmit rabies. Bats, in fact, are among the least understood and least appreciated of animals. Bats are not rodents with wings, contrary to popular belief. Like all rodents, bats are mammals, but they have a skeleton similar to the human skeleton. The bones in bat wings are much like those in arms and the human hand, with a thumb and four fingers. In bats, the bones of the arms and the four fingers of the hands are very long. This bone structure helps support the web of skin that stretches from the body to the ends of the fingers to form wings. Although bats cannot see colors, they have good vision in both dim and bright light. Since most bats stay in darkness during the day and do their feeding at night, they do not use their vision to maneuver in the dark but use a process called echolocation. This process enables bats to emit sounds from their mouths that bounce off objects and allow them to avoid the objects when flying. They use this system to locate flying insects to feed on as well. Typically, insect-eating bats emerge at dusk and fly to streams or ponds where they feed. They catch the insects on their wingtip or tail membrane and fling them into their mouths while flying. There are about 1,000 species of bat, ranging in size from the bumblebee bat, which is about an inch long, to the flying fox, which is sixteen inches long and has a wingspan of five feet. Each type of bat has a specialized diet. For seventy percent of bats, the diet is insects. Other types of bats feed on flowers, pollen, nectar, and fruit or on small animals such as birds, mice, lizards, and frogs. (continued on back)

雅思阅读SUMMARY题型解答

今天给大家介绍雅思阅读SUMMARY题型该如何解答 一、SUMMARY题型要求 雅思阅读该类题目是一小段文字,是原文或原文中的几个段落主要内容的缩写或改写,称之为摘要。摘要中有几个空白部分要求考生填空。 SUMMARY要求考生要对原文的内容结构有精确的把握,更需要考生运用一定的综合概括能力,将原文和缩写文章进行词句、词语的比较,提取原文信息。 按照范围,摘要可分为两种: 全文摘要(8-10题)和部分段落摘要(涉及2-3段,5-6题)。 全文摘要,摘要信息来自全文,题目空格的数目较多。 部分段落摘要,摘要信息来自原文某几个连续的段落,题目空格的数目较少。 最近雅思考试中出现的大部分是部分段落摘要,信息来自原文连续的两到三段,题目空格的数量在5 题左右。对于部分段落摘要,有的在题目要求中会指出它来自原文的哪些段落,如complete the summary below of the first two paragraphs of the reading passage。 但大部分的部分段落摘要只是在题目要求中说它是原文的一个摘要或部分段落摘要,并不指出它来自原文的哪些段落。 按照填空内容,摘要也可分为三种:原文原词、从多个选项中选词和自己写词。 原文原词的题目要求中常有from the reading passage 的字样。从多个选项中选词,选项的数目常常超过题目空格的数目。从多个选项 中选词或自己写词的题目要求中没有from the reading passage 的字样,有时会有using the information in the passage 的字样。 先看选项,按词性归类。注意是否有同根异性词选项(其中可能一个是答案)。以先猜后找方法解题:猜——用语法;找——回原文。 最近雅思考试中,绝大部分是原文原词或从多个选项中选词,很少有自己写词的。这类题在A类和G类考试中出现的频率一般都是每两次考一次, 每次考一组,共五题左右。 二、SUMMARY解题步骤 (1)雅思考试该类题型,要求仔细读摘要的第一句话,找出它在原文中的出处,通常是和原文某段话的 第一句相对应。确定填空部分是所给阅读文章的全篇还是部分的SUMMARY,确定是用题目所提供的单词表填空,还是需要自己从原文中挑选 单词填空。如果题目要求中已经指出了摘要的出处,则此步可以略去不做。 (2)略读缩写文章,了解大致内容,迅速回原文定位,确定是哪一段落的SUMMARY,或是涉及哪些段落的内容。 把空格前后的词作为signal words,到原文中去找这些词的对应词。 对应词的特点如下: a.原词 b.词性变化;如空格前的词为threatening, 形容词,原文中的词为threat, 名词。

Summary_常用句式

Summary 常用句式 1.This article/ passage mainly tells (a story) about…… 2.This passage mainly deals with/discusses/explores/…… 3.In this passage (about ……), the author …… 4.In this passage about ……, the author …… 5.The author began the essay/ passage by telling/ presenting…… 6.First/Firstly/ In the beginning/In the first part, the author argues/ explains/ mentions/ states/ points out (that)…… 7.Secondly/ Next/ Further on/ Then/ In the next part/ In the main part, the author goes on with…… 8.Finally/ As a conclusion/, the author concludes/ adds/ stresses that…… 9.Finally, the author summarizes that …… 二、常见句型 1)This paper deals with.. 2)This article focuses on the topics of (that,having,etc). 3)This essay presents knowledge that... 4)This thesis discusses... 5)This thesis analyzes... 6)This paper provides an overview of...

一篇英语summary范文英语Summary写

一篇英语summary范文英语Summary写第一步:阅读 A.认真阅读给定的原文材料。如果一遍不能理解,就多读两遍。阅读次数越多,你对原文的理解就越深刻。 B.给摘要起一个标题。用那些能概括文章主题思想的单词、短语或短句子作为标题。也可以采用文中的主题句作为标题。主题句往往出现在文章的开头或结尾。一个好标题有助于确定文章的中心思想。 C.现在,就该决定原文中哪些部分重要,哪些部分次重要了。对重要部分的主要观点进行概括。 D.简要地记下主要观点——主题、标题、细节等你认为对概括摘要重要的东西。 第二步:动手写作 A. 摘要应该只有原文的三分之一或四分之一长。因此首先数一下原文的字数,然后除以三,得到一个数字。摘要的字数可以少于这个数字,但是千万不能超过这个数字。

B. 摘要应全部用自己的话完成。不要引用原文的句子。 C. 应该遵循原文的逻辑顺序。这样你就不必重新组织观点、事实。 D. 摘要必须全面、清晰地表明原文所载的信息,以便你的读者不需翻阅原文就可以完全掌握材料的原意。 E. 写摘要时可以采用下列几种小技巧: 1) 删除细节。只保留主要观点。 2) 选择一至两个例子。原文中可能包括5个或更多的例子,你只需从中筛选一至二个例子。 3) 把长段的描述变成短小、简单的句子。如果材料中描述某人或某事用了十个句子,那么你只要把它们变成一两句即可。 4) 避免重复。在原文中,为了强调某个主题,可能会重复论证说明。但是这在摘要中是不能使用的。应该删除那些突出强调的重述句。

5) 压缩长的句子。如下列两例: “His courage in battle might without exaggeration be called lion-like.” 可以概括为:”He was very brave in battle.” “He was hard up for money and was being pressed by his creditor.”可以概括为:“He was in financial difficulties.” 6) 你还可以使用词组代替整句或者从句。请看下面的例子: “Beautiful mountains like Mount Tai, Lushan Mountain, and Mount Huang, were visited by only a few people in the past. Today, better wages, holidays with pay, new hotels on these mountains, and better train and bus services, have brought them within reach of many who never thought of visiting them ten years ago.”

雅思阅读summary题型总结

雅思阅读summary题型总结 雅思阅读题型大大小小一共有十种,今天和大家一起讨论其中比较特殊的一种题型,它既可以是选择类的题又可以是填空类的题,即:总结题(summary),总结题可以分成带词库(如:剑五P28)和不带词库(如:剑五P18)两种。 下面以剑桥雅思五P18 Q4-7为例看看不带词库的这类总结题应该如何解答。 首先,不带词库的总结题,是属于填空题这一大家庭,所以,第一步很关键的点是要看清题目对所填字数的要求,如在这里,题干中有这样的要求NO MORETHAN TWO WORDS,因此,在填写答案时,注意不要超过了这里所要求的字数; 第二,需要仔细地读题干,即summary。这里强调的是仔细读,而不是蜻蜓点水式的扫读。从题干中尽可能地获取更多有用信息,用这些信息来帮助解题。如在这里,当我们仔细读第四题所在的题干信息时,我们会发现空白处之前,有tookon 这个短语,意为“雇佣”,其次,还有a number of这个短语,意为“一些”,最后,在空白处后面,细心的同学会发现,有一个由who引导的非限定性定语从句,从这些点点滴滴的信息,我们可以推出此题所填的词应该是复数形式的表示人的词。有了这样的提示信息,回到原文找答案的过程才会有水到渠成的状态。 第三,回原文进行定位并找到答案。定位的过程,建议大家不要生硬地去寻找,有些同学不分题型也不用任何方法,一进入回原文的状态就从文章第一段第一句开始读,在这里要提醒大家的是,由于在上一步中已经通读过summary内容,在summary中出现过的特殊词是都可以用来帮助大家进行定位的,比如剑五P18这道题题干中就出现了“in1764,40,000 words,80 large notebooks,JamesBoswell”等大量的特殊词,这些词都能帮助大家进行快速定位。也许在这里有同学要提问了,为什么题干中的“Johnson,Dictionary”也是大写,却不是特殊词了呢?其实当大家开始看文章就知道,全文的标题是 Johnson'sDictionary,也就是说“Johnson,Dictionary”这两个词,将会是全文的主题词,它们将在文章中多次出现,所以这两个含有大写字母的词也不能算是能帮助我们解题的特殊词了。另外,这里需要提醒的是,即使整个summary题干中没有像这道题这么频繁地出现特殊词,也许下次大家需要完成的总结题里,只是一两个此类的特殊词,那这一到两个特殊词也可以作为大家解题的一个突破口。因为总结题大多数情况下是有序的。 最后,澄清一点大家对总结题的认知。很多同学会发出这样的感叹,“老师,我从小总结能力就很差,所以我的总结题总是做不对”。这种对总结题的认知是不科学的,本质上来说,完成这类总结题的过程就是在做单句填空,这是和大家所谓的总结能力无关的一个过程。更多考察的仍然是对题干语句的理解及回原文查找相关信息的能力,所以大家不需要担心自己母语方面总结能力不到位的情况会影响到解总结题的效率或状态。
