  7. Remember: Your response to speaking task 3 will have these parts:
  8. 1 Summary of what the announcement says
  9. 2 Statement of the student’s opinion
  10. 3 Lead-in: “He gives two reasons for this opinion.”
  11. 4 First reason
  12. 5 detail/example
  13. 6 Second reason
  14. 7 detail/example
  15. (8 conclusion - if you have time)

  17. DELTA p. 286 - Read the announcement and write some notes.
  18. What does the announcement say?
  19. p. 288 - Listen to the conversation and take notes.
  20. Prompt: “The man expresses his opinion about the campus food service. [Briefly summarize the announcement.] State his opinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.”
  21. 1 Summary of what the announcement says
  22. The announcement says there will be a vote about campus food service. There is one option to expand the main cafeteria and close the snack bars, and another option to close the main cafeteria and open new places to eat.
  23. 2 Statement of the student’s opinion
  24. The man prefers the second option.
  25. 3 Lead-in: “He gives two reasons for this opinion.”

  28. 5 detail/example
  29. For example, there are no places to sit, there are long lines, and there aren’t enough bike racks outside. If the main cafeteria is replaced with many smaller eating places, each one will be less crowded and more convenient.
  30. 6 Second reason
  31. The second reason is that there will be more variety of places to eat.
  32. 7 detail/example

  56. As speaking practice: pick a topic (or have a friend choose) and try to speak about it nonstop for 5 minutes. Every time you stop for a significant pause, add 1 minute to the total you need to speak.
  57. ---
  58. Writing Section: last part of the test (after speaking), two tasks: integrated and independent.
  59. Integrated writing is first.
  60. - 3 minutes to read a short passage about a topic
  61. - listen to an academic lecture about the same topic
  62. - 20 minutes to prepare and write a short essay comparing or contrasting the reading and listening (during this time you will see the text again, but you only hear the lecture once)
  63. ---
  64. Handout (Oxford p. 190-197)
  65. What does “cast doubt on” mean?
  66. - It means the listening contradicts the points from the reading. It makes us question what the reading tells us.
  67. ---
  68. p. 190-191 - Take three minutes to read the text. Make notes of the main topic and the main supporting points.
  69. Topic: online dating
  70. Main idea: online dating is good
  71. supporting points:
  72. 1 vital information is easy to find
  73. 2 safe and confidential
  74. 3 more successful (lots of marriages)
  75. ---
  76. Based on these points and the fact that the listening usually contradicts the reading, what possible points can you predict that the listening might make?
  77. (This can be helpful to do in case you don’t quite get the actual points from the listening. Predicting what they might be gives you the ability to guess in your response.)
  78. ---
  79. Now listen to a lecture and take notes.
  80. “Summarize the main points in the lecture, making sure to show how they cast doubt upon points made in the reading passage.”
  81. ---
  82. points from the lecture
  83. main idea: downsides to online dating
  84. point 1 - Not safe
  85. point 2 - people lie about their information
  86. point 3 - not as successful or satisfactory as dating websites say

  89. ---
  90. p. 192 - Sample side-by-side notes for this reading and lecture.
  91. ---
  92. There are two main ways you can organize your response. The most straightforward (and common in book examples) is point-by-point.
  93. Paragraph 1 = Introduction. State the topic and summarize the main idea of the reading and the lecture, and be clear whether the lecture contradicts or supports the reading.
  94. Paragraph 2 = First point: what does the reading say? what does the lecture say and how does this contradict the point from the reading?
  95. Paragraph 3 = Second point: what does the reading say? what does the lecture say and how does this contradict the point from the reading?
  96. Paragraph 4 = Third point: what does the reading say? what does the lecture say and how does this contradict the point from the reading?
  97. (if time: Paragraph 5 = conclusion)
  98. ---
  99. p. 193 has an example response to this prompt
  100. Circle the transition words, underline citation language (that says where information came from), and double underline contrast language
  101. ---
  102. p. 194 - Take three minutes to read the passage and take notes. Then listen to part of a lecture and take notes.
  103. “Summarize the main points in the lecture, making sure to show how they support the points made in the reading passage.”
  104. ---
  105. Here the lecture supports the reading, but the organization of your response should be exactly the same. The only difference is that now you should use comparison language instead of contrast language.
  106. ---
  107. Contrast language: however, on the other hand, in contrast, this contradicts, this casts doubt on, this refutes
  108. Support language: similarly, likewise, in the same way, this supports, this illustrates, this strengthens
  109. Citation language (for both contrast and support essays): according to the lecture/professor/listening, according to the text/author/reading, the professor states, the speaker points out, the reading states
  110. ---
  111. Each paragraph in a point-by-point response should have at least one citation from the reading, one citation from the listening, and one piece of support or contrast language.
  112. ---
