很多托友在考綜合寫作時，總是苦惱自己的聽力不給力，導致自己的綜合寫作部分總是徘徊在limited。不可否認，綜合寫作要得到4分或5分這樣的高分，聽力的重要性不言而喻。但是，要得到3分原始分數，也就是對應我們量化后的分數20分，聽力真的有那么重要嗎? 我們來看一下ETS在《官方指南》中給出的一篇3分的綜合寫作范文和范文評語，再下定論。
Score 3 Response：
The lecturer provide the opposite opinion concerning what the article offered. The team work often bring negative effet. As we all know superficially, team work and team spirits are quite popular in today’s business world and also the fashionable terms. However, the lecturer find deeper and hiding results。
Firstly, the working results of team members can’t be fully valued. For example, if a team member does nothing in the process of team discussion, decision making and final pratice, his or her work delinquency will not be recognized because we only emphasize team work. Also, the real excellent and creative member’s work might be oblitetrated for the same reason。
Secondly, the team work might lose its value when team members are leading by several influential people in the group. One of the essential merits of team is to avoid the individule wrong. But one or two influential or persuasive people will make the team useless。
Thirdly, team work oftem become the excuse of taking responsibility. All in charge, nobody care。
All in all, what we should is the fully distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of a concept or widely used method. That is to keep the common sense。
Rater Comments:
The first point is clearly stated and accurately conveys the lecturer’s comments about team members who contributes little and team members who contribute a great deal. (第一點：有分論點有細節，但有些許語法和拼寫錯誤) The second point about influencers is somewhat error-prone or vague and non-idiomatic language , not fully explain the reason these influencers create problems。(第二大點：與聽力有一點關系，但是表述模糊且沒有細節) The third point is not fully related to the passage and lecture, and the meaning is not clearly。(第三大點：完全與聽力閱讀沒有關系，表達意思不清楚)
上面Rater給出的評分，說的通俗一點實際上是在做加法，也就是說我們要得3分，要做到三點：1. 閱讀和寫作的邏輯關系，2.寫作和聽力中的兩個分論點，3.一些細節。
上面說的難做到嗎?其實一點都不難，下面我們一一來實現。
第一點，閱讀和寫作的邏輯關系，一定是反駁關系，只要大家記熟模板就行了。如下：
The reading and listening passages debate (have conflicting opinions) about _____. The reading material believes that _______, providing three reasons, which are contradicted by the following lecture。
Firstly, the reading material claims that _______. However, the speaker contradicts the idea of the reading. The reason is that _________。
Secondly, the reading material points that _______. However, according to the speaker, the reading’s claim does not bear more analysis, because _________。
Thirdly, the reading material argues that _______. The reason is that ____________. However, the speaker holds the opposite opinion by stating that____. It is because _____。
第二點，分論點怎么辦?閱讀分論點自不必說，一定是概括某一段的段意的句子。聽力分論點怎么辦?從閱讀分論點進行倒推或預測。 閱讀分論點有兩種情況：一種是主觀想法，一種是客觀證據。主觀想法，直接加not就是聽力的分論點。客觀證據不能倒推，只能作為背景預測聽力內容，這樣會大大減少聽力難度。
第三點，細節怎么辦?可以有聽力分論點來預測細節，因為細節是來支持聽力分論點的。你總會聽得到幾個詞或短語，將預測和聽到的詞結合，就出現了我們的細節。
所以，考友們，托福[微博]綜合寫作的三分一點都不難，注意把握上述三點就可以了。 但是，這種辦法的局限性就在于他只能幫助各位拿到3分，但是再往上提高，就需要真真實實的聽力能力了。
