在多益普及測驗(TOEIC Bridge) 中, 音樂與藝術相關的主題不會出現任何專業詞彙,會以日常生活中常見的,與音樂及藝術有關的文件為主,其中最常出現的形式有展覽公告(exhibition announcement)、表演宣傳廣告(performance advertisement)與時程表(time table)。
對於學習者而言,這三類資訊中最需要注意的就是基礎的5W1H資訊,了解地點(where)、人物(who)、時間(when)、什麼樣的節目(what)、不能錯過的特色(why)、如何購票(how)。閱讀題目時,也建議優先從這些資訊開始搜尋,會更快理解文章的架構。
Bridge測驗中的相關資訊,大多都可以透過搜尋關鍵字獲得,對基礎的學習者而言,是很適合練習讓大腦快速處理基礎外語資訊的好素材唷!請先閱讀下方單字,並嘗試後方的題型,若您有手機或電腦,同樣可以使用Quizlet進行更為多元的練習。
