WRITING: The Integrated Writing Task • 考生需要在3分钟之内读完一篇学术性文章,接着听一段与之话题相关的讲座录音,随后就讲座的要点写一篇概述。 • You have 20 minutes to plan and write your response。 Your response will be judged on the basis of the quality of your writing and on how well your response presents the points in the lecture and their relationship to the reading passage。 Typically, an effective response will be 150 to 225 words。 • 5: a response at this level successfully selects the important information from the lecture and coherently and accurately presents this information in relation to the relevant information presented in the reading。 The response is well organized, and occasional language errors that are present do not result in inaccurate or imprecise presentation of content or connections。 In many organizations, perhaps the best way to approach certain new projects is to assemble a group of people into a team。 Having a team of people attack a project offers several advantages。 First of all, a group of people has a wider range of knowledge,expertise, and skills than any single individual is likely to possess。 Also, because of the numbers of people involved and the greater resources they possess, a group can work more quickly in response to the task assigned to it and can come up with highly creative solutions to problems and issues。 Sometimes these creative solutions come about because a group is more likely to make risky decisions that an individual might not undertake。 This is because the group spreads responsibility for a decision to all the members and thus no single individual can be held accountable if the decision turns out to be wrong。 Taking part in a group process can be very rewarding for members of the team。 Team members who have a voice in making a decision will no doubt feel better about carrying out the work that is entailed by the decision than they might doing work that is imposed on them by others。 Also, the individual team member has a much better chance to “shine”, to get his or her contributions and ideas not only recognized but recognized as highly significant, because a team’s overall results can be more far-reaching and have greater impact than what might have otherwise been possible for the person to accomplish or contribute working alone。
这是《官方指南》中的写作阅读部分,我标出的都是有判断性的短语,从中大家应该自己学会去推测听力中的相关内容。 以下是讲座听力内容,大家可以对比是否可以由阅读去预测听力: • Narrator: Now listen to part of a lecture on the topic you just read about • Professor: Now I want to tell you about what one company found when it decided that it would turn over some of its new projects to teams of people, and make the team responsible for planning the projects and getting the work done。 After about six months,the company took a look at how well the teams performed。 • On virtually every team, some members got almost a “free ride”… they didn’t contribute much at all, but if their team did a good job, they nevertheless benefited from the recognition the team got。 And what about group members who worked especially well and who provided a lot of insight on the problems and issues? Well…the recognition for a job well done went to the group as a whole, no names were named。 So, it won’t surprise you to learn that when the real contributors were asked how they felt about the group process, their attitude was just the opposite of what the reading predicts。 • Another finding was that some projects just didn’t move very quickly。 Why? Because it took so long to reach consensus; it took many, many meetings to build the agreement among group members about how they would move the project along。 On the other hand, there were other instances where one or two people managed to become very influential over what their group did。 Sometimes when those influencers said “That will never work” about an idea the group was developing, the idea was quickly dropped instead of being further discussed。 And then there was another occasion when a couple influencers convinced the group that a plan of theirs was “highly creative。” And even though some members tried to warn the rest of the group that the project was moving in the directions that might not work, they were basically ignored by other group members。 Can you guess the ending to “this” story? When the project failed, the blame was placed on all the members of the group。 以下是如果提炼模板以及满分填空法举例: The lecturer talks about research conducted by a firm that used the group system to handle their work。 He says that the theory stated in the passage was very different and somewhat inaccurate when compared to what happened for real。 First, some members got free rides。 That is, some did not work hard but gotrecognition for the success nontheless。 This also indicates that people who worked hard was not given recognition they should have got。 In others words, they were not given the oppotunity to “shine”。 This derectly contradicts what the passage indicates。 Second, groups were slow in progress。 The passage says that groups are nore responsive than individuals because of the number of people involved and their aggregated resources。 However, the speaker talks about how the firm found out that groups were slower than individuals in decision making。 Groups needed more time for meetings, which are neccesary proccedures in decision making。 This was another part where experience contradicted theory。 Third, influential people might emerge, and lead the group towards glory or failure。 If the influent people are going in the right direction there would be no problem。 But in the cases where they go in the wrong direction, there is nobody that has enough influence to counter the decision made。 In other words, the group might turn out into a dictatorship, with the influential part as the leader, and might be less flexible in thinking。 They might become one-sided, and thus fail to succeed。
