3、duction of Task 3 1 The reading passage could take various forms. For example, it could be a bulletin from the administration of a university regarding a new parking rule, or a letter to the editor of a campus newspaper responding to a new university policy restricting the use of radios in dormitory
4、 rooms, or an article from the campus newspaper discussing a proposal to build a new football stadium. In addition to describing the proposal, the reading passage will usually present two reasons either for or against the proposal. The reading passage is brief, usually between 75 and 100 words long.
5、 You will be given sufficient time to read the passage. 2 In the dialogue (or monologue) that will be played after you have read the reading passage, you will hear one or two speakersusually studentsspeaking about the same article (or letter or announcement) that you have just read. If there are two
6、 speakers, one of them will have a strong opinion about the proposed changeeither in favor of it or against itand will give reasons to support that opinion. The discussion is brief and typically lasts between 60 and 80 seconds. 4.2 Testing Introduction of Task 3 3 After you have read the passage and
7、 then listened to the discussion, you will be asked a question about what you have read and heard. For example, there may be a reading passage that describes plans to make a new university rule and a conversation in which a professor and a student are discussing the rule. If in the conversation the
8、student thinks the new rule is a bad idea, you would be asked to state what the students opinion is and to explain the reasons the student gives for holding that opinion using information from both the reading and the listening. 4 This task tests your ability to integrate information from two source
9、sthe reading passage and the listeningand to summarize some aspect of what you have heard. The reading passage provides the context that allows you to understand what the speakers are talking about. The speakers will generally refer to the reading passage only indirectly. Therefore, as you read the
10、reading passage, you should pay attention to a number of things: the description of the proposal (what has been proposed, planned, changed, etc.), and the reasons that are given for or against the proposal. This will help you understand what it is that the two speakers are discussing as you listen t
11、o their conversation. 4.2 Testing Introduction of Task 3 5 In some cases, a speaker will object to the position taken in the reading and will give information that challenges the reasons offered in the reading for that position. In other cases, a speaker will agree with the position from the reading
12、 and will give information that supports those reasons. It is therefore important, as you listen to the discussion, to determine the speakers opinions toward the proposal and to understand the relationship between what the speakers say and what you have learned from the reading passage. 6 To answer
13、question 3, it is important to understand not only what the question asks you to do, but also what the question does not ask you to do. This type of Integrated Speaking task does not ask for your own opinion; rather, it asks you to state the opinion of one of the speakers and to summarize the speake
14、rs reasons for having that opinion. 7 You will be given between 40 and 45 seconds to read the passage, depending on its length, after which you will listen to the discussion. Then you will be given 30 seconds to prepare your answer and 60 seconds to respond. As with all the other questions, you may
15、take notes while reading, listening, and preparing your answer, and you may refer to your notes while answering the question. 4.2 Testing Introduction of Task 3Questions 1 What forms could a reading passage take?

22、from the university, and the university is going to eliminate the bus service and save money in order to expand the overcrowded parking lots . In the listening material, two students discuss about the plan and the man feels unsatisfied about the plan for the following reasons: First of all, he says
23、the problem now is that the bus is going through a wrong neighborhoods and that place is too expensive for student to live. And the university should change the course of the bus service Secondly, he points out that the university should encourage more students to use the buses instead of discourage
24、 them. If the university increases this basis of parking lots for student, which will add to the noises to the campus and would be more congested. 4.3 Sample Question AnalysisRaters Comments on Student AThe speaker gives a clear and coherent response that is detailed and accurate. He speaks quickly,
25、 but this does not prevent him from being understood. He very clearly states the mans opinion and summarizes the mans reasons for having that opinion. He uses complex grammatical structures and a wide variety of appropriate vocabulary. As a result, his speech seems to flow automatically. 4.3 Sample
26、Question AnalysisSample Response 2 The man thinks that the university decision is wrong. According to his opinion, the bus shouldnt be eliminated. It create a lot of job. And he thinks basically the bus rout should be changed. Due to due to the existing bus route, many students cant average to affor
27、d the bus. And the overcrowded parking lot is added problem, which is also due to the uh not writing uh university bus. If the students hasnt a car, and if they cannot afor cannot afford the bus then few student drive a car and obviously overcrowd the parking lot. But is better to meet the change of

This creates some listener effort. She provides content that is relevant to the task, but her li
29、mitations in language use hinder her ability to accurately convey relevant details. She fills the entire time with understandable speech. However, she incorrectly repeats throughout the response time that students cannot afford to ride the bus. She also says that few students will drive cars and ove
30、rcrowd the parking lots. This creates confusion for the listener. The speaker never mentions the mans concern about increased noise and traffic on campus. 4.3 Sample Question AnalysisSample One TPO 2 Summary1.

Then
40、 when its your turn, you get about three minutes with an overworked doctor. I have two suggestions. First, the health center needs to hire more doctors so that each patient receives quality treatment. And as far as the wait time issue is concerned, the health center is currently open only Monday thr
41、ough Fridays, which means that people who get sick over the weekend wait until the following week to get treatment. So, opening the health center on weekends should solve that problem too. 4.4 Drill and SummaryQuickly jog down the key points Work in group and speak4.4 Drill and Summary4.4.2 Summary Give your response based on the reading and listening materials Speak according to the question requirement Effectively use JJChecking ListsIntroduction of Task 3 Testing Introduction of Task 3Sample Question AnalysisDrill and summary
