故事復(fù)述技巧

在聽說考試中，相對(duì)較難的是Part C Retelling，高考中不少考生在這部分得了零分。為此，筆者就如何復(fù)述故事提出幾點(diǎn)建議，希望能給考生有所幫助。

第一，抄下試題提供的中文故事梗概和關(guān)鍵詞。

第二，根據(jù)梗概和所聽故事，弄清故事中的人物，以及人物之間的關(guān)系。

第三，在聽故事的過程中給關(guān)鍵詞補(bǔ)上恰當(dāng)?shù)闹髡Z(yǔ)，并將句子補(bǔ)充完整。

第四，適當(dāng)添加必要信息，將這些含關(guān)鍵詞的句子按故事發(fā)生的先后順序連接起來，復(fù)述故事。

第五，可將聽懂的內(nèi)容在所給故事梗概的基礎(chǔ)上用中文記錄，充實(shí)故事內(nèi)容，然后用英語(yǔ)講述，這樣可以得到一定的分?jǐn)?shù)，也可以避免零分的出現(xiàn)。

以下是一套模擬題中的故事復(fù)述題：

按照上面的方法，考生就能捕捉到本故事的主要人物：Mary’s mother， Mary， Mary’s grandpa/grandfather

給關(guān)鍵詞補(bǔ)上主語(yǔ)，寫出含關(guān)鍵詞的句子：

關(guān)鍵詞1：One day， Mary and her mother went to the party.

關(guān)鍵詞2：At the party， Mary wanted to go to washroom.

關(guān)鍵詞3：

句子（1）：Mary’s mother told her that if she wants to go to washroom she would say she wants to sing.

句子（2）：Mary told her grandpa that she wanted to sing at night.

關(guān)鍵詞4：Mary’s grandpa/grandfather was afraid of making noise.

關(guān)鍵詞5：Mary’s grandpa asked her to sing in his ears.

這些基本信息點(diǎn)出來以后，還可根據(jù)故事情節(jié)和邏輯適當(dāng)增添一些簡(jiǎn)單的細(xì)節(jié)信息。比如說，Mary的年齡：she was three and half years old；在party中發(fā)生的事：Mary cried because she wanted to go to washroom； many people looked at them； mother was upset/embarrassed；爺爺?shù)某霈F(xiàn)：One day her grandfather visited the family and Mary slept with her grandfather at night等。

根據(jù)故事梗概和上述信息，考生就能復(fù)述一個(gè)基本完整的故事了。

以下是這個(gè)故事的參考信息點(diǎn)，請(qǐng)對(duì)照：

1. Mary was a little girl but her mother tried to make her behave in a very good manner.

2. One day the family went to their friends’party.

3. There were many people in the party.

4. Mary cried in the middle of the party and asked to go to washroom.

5. Everyone in the party looked at them and Mary’s mother felt embarrassed.

6. Mary’s mother told her when she wants to go to washroom，she should say she wants to sing.

7. Mary’s grandfather visited the family and Mary slept with her grandfather at night.

8. Mary woke up at midnight and said she wanted to sing.

9. Grandpa was afraid of making a noise.

10. Grandpa told her to sing in his ears.

高考評(píng)卷是根據(jù)信息點(diǎn)來給分的，若考生能結(jié)合所給故事梗概和所聽故事內(nèi)容，給關(guān)鍵詞補(bǔ)上主語(yǔ)并寫出完整的句子，并根據(jù)情節(jié)和邏輯再適當(dāng)補(bǔ)充一些信息，就基本上能將故事復(fù)述出來了。

此外，考生復(fù)述時(shí)還需注意以下兩點(diǎn)：

復(fù)述時(shí)聲音要有自信。自信的聲音可以讓評(píng)卷員對(duì)你留下良好的印象；

注意語(yǔ)音和語(yǔ)調(diào)的控制。根據(jù)故事實(shí)際，該興奮的時(shí)候就應(yīng)該用適當(dāng)?shù)恼Z(yǔ)氣將興奮表現(xiàn)出來，如果是難過就應(yīng)該將難過的心情表現(xiàn)出來。雖然你寫下了故事要點(diǎn)，但不要讓評(píng)卷員覺得你是在念故事，而是在生動(dòng)地講故事。這樣可以提高你的分?jǐn)?shù)。
