PTE写作SWT题型怎么提高

今天羊驼给各位正在准备PTE考试的同学们带来了PTE考试中的SWT题型的例题解析：Reading，这道题整体来说有点难度。它的用词比较书面，虽然有分段但是比较绕，在理解的时候会有点难度，尤其是如果你的词汇量不是很高。我们来看这道题，找到主旨部分。文章一共有四段，每一段都有其主旨。

一、PTE写作SWT例题的原文：

It might seem a little eccentric, but reviewing your work by reading it aloud can help to identify the woolliest areas. This works best if you perform your reading in a theatrical way, pausing at the commas and ends of sentences. If you run out of breath during a sentence, it is probably too long. You ought to be able to convert your writing into a speech in this way if it sounds too stilted and convoluted, perhaps you could rework these parts until they sound fluid.

It is unlikely that your reader will be fooled by the idea that long words make you sound clever. Cluttering a sentence with too many complicated words can prevent its meaning from being understood at all. A short word is always preferable to a long one. Why should anyone choose the word erroneous over the word wrong in an essay? Usually, writers who employ more obscure words are trying to sound impressive but can appear pretentious. Direct words enable you to control what you are saying, and are not necessarily babyish, but the most appropriate ones for the job.

When you read your writing aloud, you will notice that the key stress comes at the end of your sentence. It is, therefore, most effective to end with a short and emphatic word to secure your point. Try to resist the impulse to waffle at the end of your sentence by trailing off into qualifying clauses. It might be worth relocating the clause to the beginning of the sentence or losing it altogether if you feel that it adds little to its meaning.

Your sentences might be the most grammatically perfect in the world, but still, cause your writing to sound wrong if you have misjudged its tone. A colloquial style, which uses slang and exclamations, is an inappropriately chatty tone for an essay. However, style can be equally jarring if your vocabulary is too formal or ambitious for its context. It is much more impressive to make complicated points using simple language and grammar.

二、PTE写作SWT例题的答案：

It is impressive to make complicated points using simple language and grammar, which includes reviewing by reading aloud to identify the woolliest areas in a theatrical way, pausing at the commas and ends of sentences, preferring short words to long ones that appear pretentious, applying key stress at the end of sentence with a short and emphatic word to secure points, and not misjudging tones between colloquial chatty styles and formal and ambitious context. (74 words)

三、PTE写作SWT例题的翻译：

这可能看起来有点古怪，但通过大声朗读来回顾你的作品可以帮助你找出最模糊的地方。

It might seem a little eccentric, but reviewing your work by reading it aloud can help to identify the woolliest areas. 

如果你以戏剧的方式阅读，在逗号和句尾暂停，效果最好。 

This works best if you perform your reading in a theatrical way, pausing at the commas and ends of sentences. 

如果你在说一个句子的时候上气不接下气，那么这个句子可能太长了。 

If you run out of breath during a sentence, it is probably too long. 

你应该能够用这种方式把你的写作转化为演讲，如果它听起来太生硬和复杂，也许你可以重新设计这些部分，直到它们听起来流畅。

 You ought to be able to convert your writing into a speech in this way if it sounds too stilted and convoluted, perhaps you could rework these parts until they sound fluid.

你的读者不太可能被长单词让你听起来聪明的想法所愚弄。

It is unlikely that your reader will be fooled by the idea that long words make you sound clever. 

用太多复杂的单词把一个句子弄得乱七八糟，根本无法理解它的意思。 

Cluttering a sentence with too many complicated words can prevent its meaning from being understood at all. 

短词总是比长词好。 

A short word is always preferable to a long one. 

为什么有人要在文章中选择“错误”而不是“错误”这个词呢? 

Why should anyone choose the word erroneous over the word wrong in an essay? 

通常，作者使用更晦涩的词是为了让人印象深刻，但也会显得自命不凡。 

Usually, writers who employ more obscure words are trying to sound impressive but can appear pretentious. 

直接的语言可以让你控制自己的说话，不一定是孩子气的，但却是最适合这份工作的。

 Direct words enable you to control what you are saying, and are not necessarily babyish, but the most appropriate ones for the job.

当你大声朗读你的文章时，你会注意到重音出现在句子的末尾。

When you read your writing aloud, you will notice that the key stress comes at the end of your sentence. 

因此，用一个简短而强调的词来结尾是最有效的，以确保你的观点。 

It is, therefore, most effective to end with a short and emphatic word to secure your point. 

尽量克制在句末用限定性从句来搪塞的冲动。 

Try to resist the impulse to waffle at the end of your sentence by trailing off into qualifying clauses. 

如果你觉得这个从句对句子的意义没有什么帮助，那么把它放在句子的开头或者完全去掉它可能是值得的。

 It might be worth relocating the clause to the beginning of the sentence or losing it altogether if you feel that it adds little to its meaning.

你的句子可能是世界上语法最完美的，但如果你对语气判断错误，你的写作听起来还是错的。

Your sentences might be the most grammatically perfect in the world, but still, cause your writing to sound wrong if you have misjudged its tone. 

使用俚语和感叹号的口语化风格是一种不合适的随笔风格。 

A colloquial style, which uses slang and exclamations, is an inappropriately chatty tone for an essay. 

然而，如果你的词汇过于正式或过于宽泛，那么风格也会不和谐。 

However, style can be equally jarring if your vocabulary is too formal or ambitious for its context. 

用简单的语言和语法表达复杂的观点会给人留下深刻的印象。 

It is much more impressive to make complicated points using simple language and grammar.

四、PTE写作SWT例题的解析：

第一部分：生难词积累

eccentric，往往形容某种人行为有点怪癖，就会说他很eccentric，古怪的，异乎寻常的；Theatrical, 重音在上面，形容词，戏剧性的，夸张的，来自那个剧院那个单词Theatre；Comma，逗号，其实逗号我们平常使用的并不多，在说英文的时候说句号比较多；conveuted，重音在前面表示复杂的，费解的；erroneous, 往往表示某种观点或者某种方法是错误的、不正确的；emphatic，坚决的，强调的；Chatty来自于chat，聊天闲聊，chatty表示很爱讲闲话的，或者不正式的。

第二部分：原文解析

1、这道题共分成了四段，整体来说，有蛮多生单词，所以我们不妨把这个意思给捋出来。可以看到右边，然后跟着我们左边思路来走。首先in might seem a little eccentric, 可能有点古怪。but，一个转折出现在开头，所以应该是比较重要的地方，Reviewing work by reading it aloud, 大声的去读、去回看作品的时候，能够帮助你定位，找到整个文章当中似乎不是特别好的地方。尤其是你以一种戏剧的方式去读的话，在逗号和句号进行停顿，效果会更好。整个第一段就是告诉你，你拿到一篇作品，你需要去读出来，read it aloud, 整个这篇文章的核心，这一段的核心。

2、第二段，讲了一大堆其实只是想讲一个观点，A short word is always preferable to a long one, 就是短词总比长词要好，容易被那些比较长的单词愚弄歪解，你用某一个单词，一定要有使用这个单词的目的，不然的话，能用短词就用短词。所以第二点讲的是第一点的拓展。第一部分说要大声的去读，然后第二个在读的过程当中长词和短词的选择。

3、第三when you are readual writing aloud, 当你大声去读你的文章的时候，你会发现重音在结尾的部分。来了一个信号词，therefore是因果，所以这个因果的后面一定很重要。most effective to end with the short and effective word to secure your point secure，确保你能表达你的观点，在结尾的地方给一些简短或者强调的单词。所以第三段另辟蹊径，短词放到结尾本身的效果要好。

4、第4段，包括用词，俚语、感叹号，口语化的风格等，It is much more impressive to make complicated points using simple language and grammar. 总结在使用的时候，最好用一些简单的语言，简单的语法来给读者更加深刻的印象。看一下这篇文章，每一段都会有它的重点，第一段或者说整个文章一定要read aloud, 大声去读；第二段强调的是短词；第三段强调的是结尾；最后一段强调的是利用简单的语法和词汇来留下深刻的印象。只要把这些观点，单词都带到了，其实就可以了。
