[請益] 增進英文理解能力
最近這三天剛結束國家考試,寫英文考卷的時候挫折感很大(嘆),
其中有一部分的考法是選出與原句意思最相近的選項,
但就我看來幾乎每句意思都很像,想跟大家請教一下加強這部分能力的方法。
舉例其中一題
The so-called 'contemporary pilgrim'- weary souls of the material world -
are now searching for the meaning in life, not the meaning of life.
(A) Those who are sick and tired of the material world are getting engaged in
the quest for what they care about in life.
(B) Those who are getting tired of their materialistic lifestyles are taking
on the mission of searching for meaningful lifestyles.
(C) Those who are worried about the dark side of the materialistic lifestyles
are looking for the bright side of the material world in life.
(D) Those who are torn apart by the negative effects of their materialistic
lifestyles are starting a soul-searching journey for their lives.
答案是(A),我選(B)
對這種選項的挫折感不只來自寫錯的題目,也有些用猜的猜對了,感覺很不踏實,
寫這部分選項時也花了很多很多時間。
平常準備英文的辦法是看禮拜二聯合報附的 The New York Times,
理解能力大概每篇文章中約有2~3段會有點confused,
(不過若文章內容討論地比較深入或專業,看不懂的部分會變多)
對不懂的部分會試著從上下文猜,不過有時猜不出來;
每天大概會看2~3篇文章,不大查單字和片語,除非看過同樣的字出現很多遍。
之前看過旋元佑老師分享讓英文進步的方法,就是廣讀,
目前也是盡量照這方式增強自己的英文,
所以想請問,照目前念英文的方式繼續下去,
對上面那種選項間差異性的敏感度會增加嗎?還是有任何可以再加強的方法呢??
先謝謝大家囉~
