mini lecture

Observing Behaviour Good morning, everyone. Today we will look at how to observe behaviour in research. Perhaps you would say it is easy and there is nothing extraordinary. Yes, you may be right. All of us observe behaviour every day. For example, when traveling in another country, we can avoid embarrassment by observing how people behave in that culture. And failing to be observing while walking or driving can be life-threatening. We learn by observing people's behaviour. Researchers too rely on their observations to learn about behaviour,but there are differences. For instance, when we observe casually, we may not be aware of factors that bias our observations, and, [1]and when we rarely keep formal records of our observations. Instead, we rely on our memory of events. [2]Observations in research on the other hand are made under precisely defined conditions, that is, in a systematic and objective manner, and with careful record keeping. Then how are we going to conduct observations in our research studies, and what do we need to do in order to make a scientific and objective observation? Now, as you remember, the primary goal of observation is to describe behaviour, but it is in reality impossible to observe and describe all of a person's behaviour. So we have to rely on observing samples of people's behaviour. Doing so, we must decide whether the samples represent people's usual behaviour. Thus, we will first take a brief look at how researchers select samples of behaviour. Before conducting an observational study, researchers must make a number of important decisions, that's about when and where observations will be made. As I've said before, the researcher cannot observe all behaviour. Only certain behaviors occurring at particular times, in specific settings can be observed. In other words, behaviour must be sampled. In this lecture, I will briefly introduce two kinds of sampling, that is, time sampling and situation sampling. Now first, time sampling. Time sampling means that researchers choose various time intervals for their observation. Intervals may be selected systematically or randomly. Suppose we want to observe students' classroom behaviour. Then in systematic time sampling, our observations might be made during five 20-minute periods, beginning every hour. The first observation period could begin at 9 am, the second at 10 am and so forth. [3]However, in random sampling, these five 20-minute periods may be distributed randomly over the course of the day. That is to say, intervals between observation periods could vary-some longer others shorter. One point I'd like to make is systematic and random time sampling are not always used in isolation. They are often combined in studies. For example, while observation intervals are scheduled systematically, observations within an interval are made at random times. That means the researcher might decide to observe only during 15-second intervals that are randomly distributed within each 20-minute period. [4]Now let's come to situation sampling. Then, what is situation sampling? It involves studying behaviour in different locations and under different circumstances and conditions. By sampling as many different situations as possible researchers can reduce the chance that their observation results will be peculiar to a certain set of circumstances and conditions. [5]Why? Because people

托福听力中lecture记笔记的方法及要点

托福听力中lecture记笔记的方法及要点自从走上托福听力的讲坛，我经常遇到各种因听力拖后腿而愁眉不展的考生，在听完学子们集体声讨听力段子难度无底限的同时，耳边总是回荡着考生们关于自己无法记下笔记的无奈。这年头，作为一位托福听力老师，手里没几个货真价实的笔记方法，你都不好意思跟学生打招呼；作为托福备考的学子们，要是没几个拿得出手的惯用笔记符号，你都没脸跟人家说自己曾经考过托福。笔记到底应该怎么记，才会更有效率，笔者认为应该从以下几个方面来练习。众所周知，托福听力讲座呈现的美国大学课堂上的真实场景，教授的演讲总是遵循一定的逻辑和脉络的，常见的结构如总分式，先提出本课的重点，再从多个侧面展开论述，最后总结强调；或者常见于历史类讲座中的线型结构，按照时间的先后顺序进行讲解，这就要求我们在练习的时候，注意从整体上把握文章的结构，边听边划分文章的层次。把握了文章结构之后，笔记的重点就应该瞄准文章的考点，比如举例论证是听力中出现的最为频繁的考点，出题的角度也是多种多样，在听到举例的时候应该在笔记上标出“eg.”的符号，并用箭头标注此事例的支撑点是什么；抑或是在师生互动的文章中，师生间的问答也是考点，一方面给出相应的背景知识，另一方面老师会对学生的观点进行评价。在平日的练习中，大家就要有的放矢的捕捉考点，逐一击破。当然，在记笔记的过程中，也要讲究方式方法，平日练习的时候，应该多使用自己习惯的符号，如用星号或三角来表示强调重点；用Q & A 表示问答；用上下箭头表示增减；用单词的首尾字母代替完整的单词拼写，或者几个单词的首字母代替常用的短语。总之：要想记好笔记，实力一定是第一位的。好的实力才能保证你在听的时候分出精力去辨别此处是否值

专八听力：mini lecture解答技巧

听力section1 Mini-lecture 1. 首先是Mini-lecture部分，这是个确实让人挠头的部分，刚开始练习的时候正确率比较低，所以大家一定要耐心，多做练习，反复听，其中做mini的小窍门就是：（1）答案大多是名词居多，然后是形容词，最后才是动词。所以大家听的时候一定要对文章中的名词和形容词多留个心眼儿，（2）还有就是一定要把握文章的结构，参考书大家可以选用《英语听力快速突破—英语专业八级》点此查看。刚开始用这本书来练习，因为书中的答案讲得比较详细（对了，在最后的一部分我会对我使用的参考书做一一评价，大家敬请关注）。练得多了，自然就有感觉了。还有就是速记符号的使用，这个东西因人而异，所以不必拘泥于一种速记符号，只要自己能明白就好，举例来说，information--info，但是大家千万不要陷入到这样一个误区，就是光想着速记，而忘了你使用这些符号的目的，为的就是得分嘛，所以在听的时候要有个模糊的general idea，通过大约一个月左右的训练，基本上可以达到四五个的正确率了。如果说mini部分的难度值是9的话，那么下面部分的难度值就会直线下降，但是大家依然还是要给与高度重视，因为这是八级考试。具体答题时需注意细节：同一意思的不同表达法：对所听内容必须理解（一定要仔细听懂，宁可不写，也要听懂内容）之后，根据空格要求（因为空格所填词汇所要求的语法形式可能和你所听到的原文单词不同，甚至填的词汇是要求你经过概括总结后提炼出来的词汇，所以再三强调要求理解，理解之后才会产生优良的记忆，一定要仔细听懂，宁可不写，也要听懂内容），将原文意思通过另一种形式表达出来。 ·听记为主，笔记为辅（理解最重要，宁可不写，也要理解）争取做到一心两用，做笔记的时候耳朵不能休息；对于那些大量罗列又细枝末节的信息，记个首字母甚至不留笔记都可以，关键是听清楚，记在心里。 ·听懂句子，抓住实词，放弃例证，在笔记中体现出来的应该是实词，即传达句子·紧跟提示词，笔记有条理一般来说材料都会比较有条理要包括以下几类： 1.解释性、态度性插入语； 2.祈使句； 3.疑问句； 4.逻辑关联词。 ·高度重视首尾部分

2019年托福听力讲座部分篇章结构之总分结构解题技巧

2019年托福听力讲座部分篇章结构之总分结构解题技巧托福听力，作为整场托福考试中耗时最长，强度的部分，一直是所有考生出国留学征程上的拦路虎之一。面对无论是相对接地气的对话部分(Conversation)，还是绝对高大上的讲座部分(Lecture)，一个个学霸们都会肃然起敬，一片片学渣们更是闻风丧胆。以前，大家往往认为，导致听力部分困难的原因是陌生词汇多，材料不熟悉。不管是讲座部分涵盖的艺术人文(绘画/音乐/舞蹈/电影/雕塑/建筑)，自然科学(天文/地质/环境/生态)，生命科学(动物/植物/微生物/基因)，社会科学(历史/政治/商业/心理/语言)，还是学术场景类对话(论文/ 考试/办公室答疑)，甚至是在最简单的生活场景类对话(图书馆/食堂/ 选课/就业)中，都有可能出现考生之前没有接触过的知识和情景。不过，这其实并不是最重要的原因，因为大家在完成托福阅读部分的时候，同样会遇到完全陌生的信息，却依然能够回去查看原文，通过考点在文章中的定位来协助解题。而在听力部分中，考生却没有机会再回去听力材料中寻找，因而必须在首次接触的时候，就搞清篇章结构，以便解题。而且大家也都知道，托福中听力水平的测试，不但是通过听力部分来实现的，也通过四道综合口语题，以及一道综合写作题来间接考查。不过万幸的是，托福口语后四道题中各自对应的那四篇听力材料，每一篇都有自己固定的结构，而托福综合写作里那段听力材料的结构则更是千篇一律的三段式，所以考生相对来说还是比较容易把握。而真正的听力部分中，结构还是比较多样化，不过即便这样，我们还是能够将所有的文章划分成几种类型。下面，我们就具体来聊聊如何通过一些关键的字词，来识别听力文章的结构，从而协助我们解题。通常情况下，一次考试会有两个听力正题部分(Section)，每个部分包含一篇对话和两篇讲座。也就是说，每次考试中我们会有遇到两篇计分的对话，和四篇计分的讲座。其中，所有的讲座结构又能够被

2010年英语专八听力mini-lecture原文+解析

今年的讲座名为“Paralinguistic Features of Languages”，主题是辅助语言学，对于英语专业的学生来说，这个话题或许没有专门学过，但并不陌生。讲座类的内容非常突出的特点就是逻辑性强，思路很清晰，所以在听音频做笔记的时候，要特别注意总起性质的句子。一般来说lecture的第一段会对接下来的内容做总结介绍，如果下文划分成若干个小类别，会概括性地提到这些类别，然后在后文进行详细的例证、再分类。第一段对给考生一个宏观性的思路非常重要，听漏掉一两点也没关系，下文必然会重新提到。本次真题的听力原文如下，注意文章中标粗的部分，是记笔记的重点部分： Paralinguistic features of languages Good morning, everyone. Today we'll continue our discussion on describing language. Last week we examined such features of language as grammar, vocabulary, the sounds of language, etc. In this lecture, we'll look at another important aspect of language. Perhaps some of you may wonder what is this important aspect of language. Let me tell you. It refers to features of communication that takes place without the use of grammar and vocabulary. They are called ‘paralinguistic features of language'. These features fall into two broad categories: those that involve voice and those that involve the body. Now, the first category, is what we call vocal paralinguistic features. Vocal features are actually tones of voice. While they are, perhaps, not central to meaning in communication in the same way as grammar or vocabulary, they may, nevertheless, convey attitude or intention in some way. Let me give you some examples. The first is whispering, which indicates the needs for secrecy. The second is breathiness. This is to show deep emotion. The third is huskiness, which is to show unimportants. The fourth is nasality. This is to indicate anxiety. The last is extra lip-rounding, which expresses greater intimacy, expecially with babies, for example. So we can see that there are a number of ways of altering our tone of voice. And when we do this consciously, we do it to create different effects in communication.

Like, plants in the desert—your textbook doesn’t have much about the specif-ics on desert plants, but I think that desert plants are great examples of specialized adaptations to extreme environmental conditions. So with desert plants, there are basically three different adaptive strate-gies. And I should point out that these strategies are not specific to any particular species—many different species have developed each of the adaptations. So, first off, there are succulent plants. There are many different species of succulent plants, but they all can absorb and store a lot of water. Obviously, opportunities to get water in the desert are few and far between. Generally, rains are light and short, so the rain doesn’t seep too far down into the soil… and there's a limited window of time for any plant to get the water before it evaporates. But succulent plants have a spread-out and shallow root system that can quickly pull in water from the top inch of soil, though the soil has to be
