托福听力做笔记常见错误思路解读 记录信息并非多多益善
托福听力记笔记错误思路分析
托福听力记笔记的常见错误思路是多记笔记，尽量每句话都抓关键词记录(尽量保证每个题目都能在笔记上找到完美对应)，之所以这种思路有问题，其错误点和原因是提倡多记笔记背后的动机在于如果能把听到的都写下来，那么即使出现听不懂的情况，笔记也可以帮助做题。但任何人的脑容量和精力都有限，在没有保证以听为主的情况下，多记笔记一定会导致听内容和梳理整合的精力减少，最后就会记录了很多听到的句子里发音明确的原词。但ETS完全懂学生的做题心理，于是有很多错误选项直接包含同一段里发音明确的学生通常都会听到的词，于是学生成功入坑。而且很多考生都有一旦听不懂开始多记笔记的时候就发展到狂记甚至乱记笔记的经历。
实例讲解托福听力记笔记错误思路
下面结合官方真题Official31L1说明，大家先自行听完开始至49秒的内容，之后做主题题。
What is the maintopic of the lecture?
A. The history of Greek music from ancient times to the past
B. The influence of ancient Greek music on the music of neighboring countries
C. The characteristics of ancient Greek songs
D. The attitude of the ancient Greek toward music
原文对应内容：
Today we are going to do something a little different. In the past few classes, we've listened to traditional music from around the world and we've talked about the characteristics of these music,what makes these styles distinctive, what kinds of instruments are used. And you've talked about what sounds familiar to you and what sounds strange. And many of you found some of what we've listened to very strange indeed.
Well, today I want to start talking about western music and I am going to start in ancient Greece.
But, now here's part that's different. We're not going to talk very much about the actual music. Instead, we are going to talk about what the Greeks believed about music.
Now, there are some very good reasons to approach the material in this way.
该题正确选项为D，很多学生错选C。你可以回顾刚才的笔记，是否记了traditional music characteristicinstrument familiar strange 这些词，老师很明显说到in the past fewclasses，代表音乐特征是之前内容，所以C已经不能选。你还可以回顾笔记，是否甚至知道后面才是主题句而且写了believe原词，仍旧选了C。原因就在于很简短的what the ancient Greeks believed about music在你记录believe的时候已经说完了，而你并没有理解这句话的意思，所以正确选项同义替换成attitude的时候，你并不能迅速对应。

In today's class we'll be examining some nineteenth-century pattern books that were used for building houses.
在今天的课上我们将审查一些十九世纪用来建造房屋的样本手册。
I think it's fair to say that these pattern books were the most important influence on the design of North American houses during the nineteenth century.
我认为公平来讲，这些样本手册在十九世纪期间北美的房屋设计上有着最重要的影响。
This was because most people who wanted to build a house couldn't afford to hire an architect.
这是因为大多数想要建造房屋的人雇不起(不能承担雇佣)建筑师(的费用)
Instead, they bought a pattern book, picked out a plan, and took it to the builder.
取而代之，他们买一本样本手册，挑选一个计划，然后把它拿给建筑者
The difference in cost was substantial.
费用的差异是很大的。
In 1870, for example, hiring an architect would've cost about a hundred dollars.
在十九世纪七十年代，举例来说，雇一个建筑师应该花费大约一百美金。
At the same time, a pattern book written by an architect cost only five dollars.
同时，一个建筑师写的样本手册仅仅花费五美金。
At that price, it's easy to see why pattern books were so popular.
在那种价位，很容易看出为什么样本手册是如此受欢迎。
Some are back in print again today, and of course they cost a lot more than they did a hundred years ago.
今天有一些又回头出版了，当然它们比一百年前要花费得多的多。
But they're an invaluable resource for historians, and also for people who restore old houses.
但对历史学家来说他们是一种无价的资源，同时对修复旧房子的人来说也是如此。
I have a modern reprint here that I'll be passing around the room in a moment so that everyone can have a look.
我这里有一本当代的再版，我将会在房间里传递一会儿以便每个人能看一眼。
