【逆風文】不迷信「秒殺招」,GRE 閱讀不再是惡夢
GRE 的閱讀文章一篇常常動輒就有 5 行。不對。是一句話就可以有 5 行,是很多人出國同學的惡夢。那麼困難的考試,我們到底要怎麼準備呢?
我想先以心理語言學 (psycholinguistics) 的角度,排除個人要素 (易緊張、易粗心、專注力不好),以兩個角度分析GRE 閱讀的難點。
【linguistic complexity (語言複雜性)】
• 字彙難度較高、熟字僻義多
• 句型複雜(眾多倒裝句、或主詞動詞離很遠的句子)
• 句子偏好 subordination 而非 coordination (學術文章特色)
【cognitive complexity (認知複雜性)】
• 時間壓力 (time pressure) (填空+閱讀 20 題只有 30 分鐘寫,包含閱讀時間)
• 文章表達議論論點抽象、複雜 (meaning abstractness)
• 文章主題通常我們不熟悉 (absence of prior knowledge)
• 論點常常不是二分法式地「非黑即白」
也因其複雜性,GRE 補教老師在教閱讀時,常常立意良善地想要幫學生找出必殺絕招。絕招中通常分成 2 派。
【翻譯派】 認為一句話翻不出中文,就是看不懂
但這樣的派別,有幾個缺點:
1️⃣ GRE 是英語為載體的學術邏輯考試,不是翻譯考試。
2️⃣ 這樣的說法忽略的長達 40 年的閱讀研究。有足夠的 top-down reading skills, 不需要看懂每一句話還是可以看得懂「主旨、態度、功能」做對題目。
3️⃣ 閱讀裡一定會有些字的「預設」期待,是 ETS 沒有要你看得懂就可以做對題目的 。
4️⃣ 限時下,沒有時間這樣做
【技巧派】認為考試技巧比實力重要
但這樣的派別,有幾個缺點:
1️⃣ 某些技巧只會在某些題型中派得上用場。考試時考生通常「無法判斷」什麼是可用的。
2️⃣ 技巧要用得上,其實要具備一定的閱讀能力。不然遇到新的閱讀時,「使不上力」是 the norm。
3️⃣ 需要 bottom-up reading skills (eg. 長難句閱讀能力) 的細節題) 拿不到分數。
在 6/22 (一) 的 GRE 高分公開課當中,我將跟你分享「務實派」,如何在準備 GRE Verbal、AWA 的過程當中,一方面真的將考試分數衝高、另外一方面也加強學術語言能力 (學術閱讀、寫作、synthesizing、summarizing、字彙使用)!

The world of social media is about color coordination and finding those items that give meaning to each other.

I was looking at someone’s Instagram today and admiring how pretty it was - all of the photos matched together in colour, they were edited perfectly, all taken on a super high quality DSLR, and everything flowed so well.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And then I thought to myself: “our feed isn’t like that... our feed isn’t really that pretty, we don’t put too much thought into colour coordination or layouts... yeah I pop some filters on my photos and I try to upload things that look nice, but beyond that not much thought goes into the actual photo itself”.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And for a second I kind of felt a little... like.. inferior because of it, I literally thought to myself “we really gotta up our game ” which was kind of silly, but then as I thought about it more, I realised my feed matches who I am as a person. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m a bit of a mess, I don't put a lot of effort into what I wear or how my hair looks, I’m not really stylish (almost all my "civilian clothes" are from Taobao, half of the time I'm in activewear, and I've been doing my makeup the same way, but I feel like people don’t follow me for those reasons anyway, I hope they follow me for the meaning behind my posts and how I make them feel better. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We tried doing the whole “whitewash” ordeal for a while, we tried getting super matchy with our posts' colors and I got over it in about 5 seconds because for me, that’s not what this platform is about and it’s not what I personally like to use it for. I like to tell stories and make people feel good.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t get me wrong, I love and appreciate a beautiful Instagram feed and some people just have that artistic eye and they can create the most beautiful photos.
But that’s not me, and it never will be, my feed will always be a little unorganised and all over the place because that’s who I am ✌🏽
