大家好我是J2(Jacob.)
很多同學對於整合寫作到底要寫什麼都有些迷思,今天特別用這篇文章分享
一下。
迷思一:整合越精簡越好,要用最少的字數表達出同樣概念。
簡短回答:關於用更少的字表達出同樣概念這基本上是沒有問題,但很多同
學會誤會成所以一些例子、細節加上去就會太多,不簡潔了。但其實例子是
讓資訊完整非常重要的一部分,也是讓讀者能真的理解教授如何反駁閱讀論
點的重點。
迷思二:整合要考的是消化之後重述的能力,所以要盡可能的換字、換句話
說(paraphrase)。
簡短回答:同樣的,這句話本質上也沒什麼問題,但會變成很多不必要的替
換字例如把the professor在不同段換成the lecturer/ the speaker, 這不
是整合寫作考官要看的重點。至於換句話說,整合寫作要看的是「資訊完整
度」,聽到多少東西並且最後寫下多少東西,只要換句話說後,資訊還原度
沒有差太多,那當然換句話說是沒有問題的,但如果沒把握,就把聽到的東
西,如實寫出來即可。而且其實根本不用太擔心換句話說這件事,因為在作
筆記時本來就不太可能把每個字一五一十、一字不漏記下來,所以其實在最
後打字的時候,基本上都在改述了。
底下直接放一篇同學整合寫作的批改供同學參考,自己寫的時候也記得注意
這些問題喔!
TPO32整合寫作
The reading passage explores the issue of wired sounds “quackers
” that sailors in Russian submarines patrolling the North
Atlantic and Arctic Ocean would occasionally hear from the 1960s
to 1980s. Several assumptions are offered in the writing to
interpret the phenomenon. Although the statement in the article
seems reasonable in the beginning, the lecturer casts doubts on it
for the following reasons.
首段很清楚有提到1)議題+2)閱讀+3)聽力的立場,這樣寫就沒有太大問
題!
First of all, even though the reading passage suggests that the
noises are the calls of male and female orca whales in the course
of a courtship ritual, the lecturer argues that the orca whales
lived at the surface of the ocean for the most part, so their
voice should not be detected by sonar.
整合寫作最忌諱的就是要讓讀者去猜「為什麼這邊出現這個?」「你想表達
什麼?」這裡閱讀說quackers這個叫聲是orca whales求偶儀式中所發出
的,然後聽力說但是orca whales生活在海水表面。很明顯的這裡少寫了
submarine在深海,所以這些聲音submarines應該是探測不到的。細節少
了,要讓讀者去猜或者自己腦補,整合寫作這樣分數一定會受到影響。
Second, the assumption held by the writer claims that the sound
comes from the giant squid. Point is that they don't have the
skeleton, which means they wouldn't show up on the sonar.
Nonetheless, it is argued in the listening that the assumption can
not explain the sounds solely recorded in two decades, but the
squids live there until present.
如上課提到的,整合寫作閱讀部分要寫哪一句要依照聽力部分判斷。這個論
點聽力反駁是giant squid一直都在大海裡,但是quackers只出現了20年就
不見了,如果是giant squid所發出的聲音,應該一直都會聽到, 不會不
見。所以跟閱讀 “they don't have the skeleton, which means they
wouldn't show up on the sonar” 並沒有太大關聯,所以其這裡閱讀部分
只要寫「第二,這個quackers聲音可能來自squid」即可。
Thirdly, the assumption is the sound is actually from some kind of
military technology, such as another country's submarines.
However, until nowadays, there is no technology that could obscure
objects from the sonar and make the submarine turn direction so
fast.
整合寫作一個簡單可以自評的方式是想像一下如果讀者在完全沒有讀過文章
跟聽過聽力的情況下,能否看懂你的文章。這個論點同學很明顯的細節少很
多,或是說根本無法理解聽力到底反駁了什麼,這絕對是整合寫作「能否得
分」的關鍵。
To sum up, based on the evidence presented above, it can be
clearly seen that the stances on both sides are different.
Although the contents in the reading passage seem to be
reasonable, further scrutiny leads the lecturer to believe that
the assumptions in the reading passage still have some problems.
這個結論兩句結束很簡潔,可以模仿寫寫看。
Cheers,
J2
