多益高分心得

李怡璇

一、 您為何選擇哈佛?

1.八週的課程剛好能讓我利用暑假就把課程上完2.學費合理

二、哈佛的課程及老師的教法如何?有何優點?

1.課程面:八週的課程雖然上課的時間只有短短的兩個月,但課程內容的安排卻是非常足夠,不僅能學到考試技巧,也同時增進英文能力。2. 老師教法:(1)Jeff老師的整合班:在考試的時候,總是會碰到一些我們聽不懂或者看不懂的,Jeff老師交我們許多考試的技巧,讓我們在碰到這些情形時,一樣能選出正確的答案。(2)彭老師的聽力課:彭老師除了教我們考試技巧,他教學的內容更著重在提升我們的聽力能力。他利用聽配合說,不斷的在課堂上讓我們練習,讓我們增進聽力能力。(3)高晴老師的閱讀課:高晴老師的課程內容非常的豐富,除了課本上的內容,高晴老師每堂課都會額外補充非常多東西。以往我們在背單字,總是一個字一個字的去記意思,但高晴老師教我們用同義字去記單字,不但一次能記更多單字,也更容易就背起來。(4)高地老師的模考講解:高地老師不只是單單講解每一題的問題,還會補充相關的文法重點和考試常考的類型。聽他講解模考不但能複習我們所學過的,還能發現有哪些是我們還不太懂的。

三、請分享您在準備考試的過程中獨到的學習方法。

1.聽力:除了上課跟著老師練習,回家自己也要多聽。一定要記住老師所教的聽力技巧,在作答時真的會有很大的幫助。在考聽力時,專注力非常的重要,如果不小心恍神,就會沒聽到,而造成失分。2.閱讀:一定要把老師上課所教的單字背起來,因為那些都是考試常考的。閱讀最重要的就是速度,要加快閱讀的速度一定要多練習題目。3.模考:補習班每個禮拜都會辦一次模考,如果有空一定要去參加。雖然補習班的考試偏難,速度又偏快,但當你每個禮拜都去考,八週下來你就會慢慢習慣,當真正考試時就會覺得輕鬆容易。

四、您對其他正在準備此測驗的考生有何建議?

跟著老師的進度,課堂上認真聽課,回家複習,考前把八週的上課內容再重新復習,不斷的練習題目,一定能考出不錯的成績。

多益獎學金申請日期延長,同學們切勿再錯過囉

2011 年第二屆多益獎學金特展延報名截止日至10月中

鼓勵青年交出暑假亮麗的「公益成績單」


2011年台灣地區ETS多益獎學金計畫原訂於8月31日截止收件,因接受到許多同學反應,有的希望能將在這個暑假所參與的志工活動成績,有的希望能將參加9月24日至27日的「國際新聞協會2011台北年會」志工等服務紀錄納入多益獎學金申請資料中;基於鼓勵青年積極做公益,ETS決定將申請截止時間延長至10月15日。


ETS為鼓勵青年學子學習英語熱忱、幫助他人改善國際溝通力,並積極參與公益,於去年(2010)舉辦首屆多益獎學金計畫,成果輝煌。其中大學得獎者蔡炘達獲得美國Berea College全額獎學金,已於8月啟程赴美深造,並表示:「能出國念書要感謝多益獎學金光環,讓我能順利申請到全額獎學金」;高職組得獎者泰北高中的柯愛詩還獲得了總統教育獎,且與另一位高中組得獎者周儀在頒獎活動中結識成為好朋友,她也在周儀今年主辦的「黏多醣症世界交流會」擔任志工,真是「德不孤必有鄰」。


ETS台灣區代表王星威表示,「今年我們得到了ETS支持,再舉辦第二屆獎學金計畫,從收到的申請件中,有的同學曾擔任2011四大洲花式滑冰錦標賽、2011國際自由車環台賽志工;也有同學曾利用課餘時間在特殊教育班中擔任陪讀小天使;也有同學在故宮擔任英語導覽志工,協助外國友人了解中國文化的博大精深,這些看似微小的行動與服務,都會對社會產生莫大的影響,同學們在做公益的同時,不僅是在付出,也是在學習由公益活動中養成一生受歡迎的陽光人格,這才是ETS推動此獎學金計畫的宗旨與目的。」


本獎學金共分為高中、高職、一般大學校院、技職校院與研究所5個組別,每個組別皆有10 個名額,共設立50名得獎名額,每名獲獎學生可得美金1,000 元。本計畫在每一組別皆提供2名低收入戶學生保障名額,以鼓勵弱勢族群積極參與。此外,主辦單位特別強調,即使是已在職場工作,並利用下班時間進修的在職專班學生,只要熱心公益,達到基本的多益成績門檻,也同樣具備申請多益獎學金的資格,歡迎多加申請。


積極參與公益關懷活動、多益測驗成績達到各申請類組最低分數要求的同學們,趕緊把握機會,在10月15日以前將相關資料寄至「ETS 2011年多益獎學金計劃小組」,就有機會成為第二屆多益獎學金得主喔!欲了解更多2011年台灣地區多益獎學金計畫細節,請參考:www.toeic.com.tw/scholarship.html。
