PET考试方法和技巧
一.简介:
PET考试分3部分:
Paper 1 READING/WRITING: 1小时30分钟
Paper 2 LISTENING: 30分钟(其中有8分钟誊抄答案时间) Paper 3 SPEAKING: 10-12分钟
二.考试题型和内容: READING:
Part 1(1-5 题)叫做“匹配题”,有5道题,每道题会有ABC三个选项供考生去选择,考生需要划出关键词,然后根据意思去匹配出一个正确的选项,其实就是同义句匹配。
这种类型题会出现各种样式的小短句,主要考察的是一些公共标识、商品标签、 学校通知、私人联络等。
Part 2 (6 -10题)就是“8选5”,会有五组人,然后按照他们的需求去匹配后面的A-H 8个广告。
这种类型题目,主要话题有:买书、去博物馆、选酒店、选度假/露营场所、看电 影,选衣服,选课程,选网站等,都是需要考生根据不同需求来匹配出最佳方案。先标出需求,然后用两个需求去筛选,就会轻松得出结论。
Part 3 (11- 20题)是“阅读判断题”,会给出10个小句子,要求考生判断这10个句子是正确还是错误的。这就需求考生能够在理解句意的基础上,去原文找到答案,来验证了。
这种类型题,都是有关真实生活,选自一些杂志、宣传册广告或是网站。找对“定位词”和“关键词”,去逐一分析和判断就可以了。
Part 4 (21- 25题) 是阅读理解,会有5道题,其中第21题一般问作者的写作目的;22题问读者可以得到什么信息或是启示;23-24题是问具体细节问题;25题就是一道“描述主人公的性格或特征”,选出一个符合主人公特点的句子。
Part 5(26- 35题)这是PET阅读部分的最后一道题了。就是完形填空。这个部分其实很简单,因为选材要么是一个历史故事,要么是一个科普文章,所以,一般会考察过去
时,注意先读懂一遍文章(先读每一段的首末句),掌握大意,再去精读,边读边选词。 做过这个part的考生可以发现每个空白处附近的一两行之内必然会有提示,注意观察和寻找就会找到正确答案哦!
其次,这个部分还会考察一些词汇、词组辨析,如:情态动词;限定词very, much, quite, a lot, more; 代词 his, her, their, my...;介词on, in, at, with, without, of... 还有就是一些关联词,表因果的because,表转转的but,however,表并列的and,表让步、递进的though, although等。
Writing:
Part 1 是同义句转换题(共5分)。此题会给出5个句子,然后根据这个句子再写出同义句,基本上是填空,切记每空最多3个单词。
这部分考题主要考察的知识点有:现在完成时(尤其since,for,ever,never),比较级(as...as, better than),too...to 和 enough to...的转换,被动语态和主动语态转换,时间词转换(spend doing... 和 last持续,take花费之间的区分用法),过去时(used to do...),直接引语和间接引语之间的转换。
Part 2 短文写作(5分) 字数要求是35 - 45字,一般都是给出3个问题,考生只要认真读题,把3个问题都回答了,并且按照题意要求写作,就没问题。
这部分,学生们普遍爱范的错误:时态(尤其是一般现在时的三单)、单复数(尤其是复数名词,如a pair of glasses, trousers;还有看作单数的词 hair,不要说成a hair)、不读清题意(明明题目说的是本周六,结果没看清楚,写出下周或是明天的)、格式(dear后面是逗号,不是冒号;落款要写自己的英文姓名)。
Part 3 写作(15分) 字数要求是100字。会有两个问题,只选其一。第一篇作文通常是写一封回信,回答所有问题;第二篇是续写作文,适合极富想象力的考生。考生按照自己喜好去选择其中一篇发挥。
SPEAKING:
● 考场注意事项
● 该部分介绍:
侯考注意礼貌
考场注意合作
结束语
考前和伙伴沟通
Part 1基本所有考生都会轻松应对,就是问一些常规问题,如:name, surname, school, family, hobby 等。
Part 2 一张黑白图片,会有一个问题要你和你的伙伴一起讨论、解决,最终给出解决方案。
需要用到的句型:
发起一个讨论:
May I go first? It’s about ... I think this one is not very practical(实用的)/good/perfect, because..... Do you agree with me? / How do you think about it? / What’s your opinion?
表示赞同对方:
Well, I really think it’s a good idea. I totally agree with you. I think you are right.
表示不同意对方:
I’m sorry I can’t agree with you, because.... I’m afraid I can’t agree with you, because.... I don’t think it is a good idea, because...
最后总结: So we think he/she should do.... , because.... We have decided that he/she should do... , because.... We both think this one is very good, because....
Part 3 一分钟描述彩色照片
该部分虽然只有1分钟,但是需要考生能够体现出过硬的英语口语能力,如:观察图片细节能
力、准确描述细节能力、语言组织能力等。
考生需要记住”八字原则“:“由远及近,由人到物”。拿到图片先给一个整体介绍,说明图片是什么主题、有什么人物、发生在哪里,接着讲镜头拉近到每一个人物去描述;切记,如果是人物很多,不要过分去描述每一个人的细节,否则最后时间到了,你只说了一两个人物。常用的句型:
In this picture I can see.... I think she/he is probably doing Maybe they are in....多用这些表猜测的词
Part 4 话题讨论
这是根据Part 3的彩色图片而来的话题,你和你的伙伴会讨论一个话题,互相交流看法。近年来,话题基本都是围绕日常生活和学校生活展开,常考的话题基本上是:外出就餐、家庭活动。
