【PTE口语】PTE2.0时代，你的Retell Lecture还在靠机经？那可不行！今天就教你如何破~,墨尔本微生活微信公众号文章

PTE题库日益扩大，相信很多同学都感受到了，现在的PTE已经不是拼机经的时代了。难点重点题型还是要靠自己搞定！Retell Lecture一直是很多同学觉得非常难的一个题型，如何破解？今天我们就通过一道例题来看一看~

请听题

在解题之前可以思考以下几个问题：
1. As for the relationship between stress and responsibility, what do most people believe?
2. What does the lecture think about this?
3. How many ways do managers have, to reduce their level of stress?
4. What are these ways?

首先还是来大致理一下解题的思路吧。在Retell Lecture中，我们需要对信息做一个筛选，并不是捡着篮子里的都是菜。

换言之，有些内容是相对更加重要的主干，而另一些则是相对次要的分支，比如修饰和例子。这里我们需要保留相对主干的内容。

参考笔记

☑ Topic: Stress vs. Responsibility

☑ Key Points:

1. Most people: more responsibility = more stress

2. Lecture: higher position = less stress

3. Reason: Brain Rewarded (2 factors)

a. Status = Respect > Money

b. Control = Freedom

☑ Conclusion: Higher Position = Less Stress

对应可以给大家分享两个版本的答案：

65分答案

The lecture is about the relationship between stress and responsibility.

Most people believe that more responsibility normally means more stress.

The lecture believe that higher positions could be less stressful.

This is because brains are rewarded by 2 factors to reduce the level of stress.

The first one is status. The second one is a sense of control.

In conclusion, people with higher position could have less stress.

79分答案

The lecture is mainly about the stress level of senior managers. Normally, people tend to think that with greater responsibility comes great level of stress. But this is not the case.

According to the lecture, people with higher positions have less stress. This is because their brains could ease this pressure by getting some rewards in two different ways.

One is by status, as respect could be more important than money.

Another is the sense of control, because senior managers tend to have more freedom.

In conclusion, it is very interesting that our understandings of stress could be wrong.

这里需要指出一个容易走入的误区：有些考生会在纸上记录非常繁复的信息，并且希望尽可能多地听写下Lecture里面的内容。但其实在实际答题的时候，很容易发现无从下手。

换言之，虽然有许多的词语，但是因为记得比较散乱，也不知道该说哪个，不该说哪个；更有同学试图在口语中使用非常复杂的从句套句来链接许多词语。这些情况绝大多数时候都会直接导致句子说的断断续续，换言之也就是流利度的大幅下降。

另外一个常见的误区是：随便记几个词语，然后试图用大量的套句去刷流利度。这可以说是另一个极端，为了保证流利度就完全忽略内容的重要性。虽然65分的考生可以参考这个方案，但内容拿分的概率会很低。如果成绩单上，明明流利度都已经过了70，口语分数还没有上65，一般就是这个状况。

Retell Lecture的解题概括起来可以有两个要点：

1. 找到重要的关键词

2. 使用简单流畅的句式

两项缺一不可。尤其在机经的意义被大幅度削弱的情况下，我们更加要认真对待这个题型。
