娛樂(entertainment)場景在多益英語測驗(TOEIC)與多益普及英語測驗(TOEICBridge)中出現的頻率,相較於其他場景大概只有中等,但卻是國中會考常見的題型。在娛樂場景中,最常出現的呈現形式有三種:時間表(time table)、公告(announcement)以及廣告(advertisement)。涵蓋了八種子場景: 電影院(cinema)、劇院(theater)、音樂(music)、藝術(art)、展覽(exhibitions)、博物館(museums)、運動(sports)、賽事(games)。請特別注意,theater 指的是由真人進行演出的劇院,並非電影院(movie theater)。下表將簡單介紹這些情境的答題技巧。
其中,「公告」與「廣告」的形式大致與一般閱讀測驗相似,但在「時間表」中,常會出現計算時間,甚至是素養導向的試題。譬如,請考生閱讀一段情境描述並選擇合適的節目/影片,這類題目就需要多多練習。期待大家未來有機會造訪異國時,能運用英語力,在不同國度欣賞令人讚嘆的藝術、娛樂作品。
下面共有二篇閱讀題組,分別是電視節目表與展覽情境。在作答前,老師有特別製作情境單字Quizlet,讓同學搭配學習效果加倍!另外,若希望練習更多題目、收聽詳解,文章内也有老師精心錄製的五分鐘詳解影片。
