当代社会网络资源太丰富,有时候学生反而不知道怎么去攻克或者快速攻克雅思的听力,阅读,写作和口语。这里51pass只推荐一种方式,就是TED演讲级。你可以每天坚持一个小时,如果是一个月攻克雅思,你甚至可以疯狂到除了课堂上跟着老师的节奏,课下就疯狂的听TED演讲集。
一 TED介绍
TED邀请世界上的思想领袖与实干家来分享他们最热衷从事的事业。“TED”由“科技”、“娱乐”以及“设计”三个英文单词首字母组成,这三个广泛的领域共同塑造着我们的未来。事实上,这场盛会涉及的领域还在不断扩展,展现着涉及几乎各个领域的各种见解。参加者们称它为 “超级大脑SPA”和“四日游未来”。
大会观众往往是企业的CEO、科学家、创造者、慈善家等等,他们几乎和演讲嘉宾一样优秀。比尔·克林顿、比尔·盖茨、维基百科创始人吉米·威尔斯、DNA结构的发现者詹姆斯·华森、google创办人、英国动物学家珍妮·古道尔、美国建筑大师弗兰克·盖里、歌手保罗·西蒙、维珍品牌创始人理查德·布兰森爵士、国际设计大师菲利普·斯达克以及U2乐队主唱Bono都曾经担任过演讲嘉宾。
大凡有机会来到TED大会现场作演讲的均有非同寻常的经历,他们要么是某一领域的佼佼者,要么是某一新兴领域的开创人,要么是做出了某些足以给社会带来改观的创举。比如人类基因组研究领域的领军人物Craig Venter,“给每位孩子一百美元笔记本电脑”项目的创建人 Nicholas Negroponte,只身滑到北极的第一人 Ben Saunders,当代杰出的语言学家 Steven Pinker……至于像 Al Gore 那样的明星就更是TED大会之常客了。
每一个TED 演讲的时间通常都是18分钟以内,但是,由于演讲者对于自己所从事的事业有一种深深的热爱,他们的演讲也往往最能打动听者的心,并引起人们的思考与进一步探索。
二 学习方法
听力:10分钟左右的听力,每天花半个小时,先全部听一遍,然后一句一句暂停听写,不会的单词先空着。第二遍再用红笔进行改正,查生词以及学习地道表达甚至背诵。最后一遍再听一遍,甚至可以一小段一小段复述起来。
阅读:雅思的阅读偏向科普文章,所以大家平时在演讲中了解很多基本知识,对于阅读会有很多帮助。
口语和写作:除了听力本,我们可以在准备一个素材话题本,把口语和话题结合起来。
大家可以按专题来整理自己的ted演讲,为雅思所用。

Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity (Part 1)
