呼應數位時代的學習需求,多益普及學堂在完整介紹過各種題型之後也要升級了。從本期開始,每次多益普及學堂都會以一個常見的國際溝通情境為主軸,並舉相關練習題。另外,海碩老師將情境相關單字製成Quizlet(Android下載)(IOS下載),也錄製了完整的解說影片。
多益普及測驗(TOEIC Bridge)的溝通情境包括活動、外出用餐、娛樂、家庭與朋友、一般商務、健康、住宅、辦公室、新聞、學校、購物、旅行,總共包括12 大分類,其中又可細分多達71 個子分類,涵蓋生活中各種常見溝通情景。本次要介紹的是新聞當中的氣象預報,掌握天氣,出門才不怕日曬雨淋。
在閱讀文章之前,要先建立基本單字概念,才能增進閱讀理解。這次要介紹的是氣象預報,所以內容中結合溝通情境學習氣象預報篇要出國啦!颱風警報怎麼看?會有許多跟天氣有關的字詞。只要是多益普及學堂中出現的單字,大抵上都是生活中一定會用到的基礎詞彙,所以請一定要好好將這些字都記好唷!
