在國外工作或旅行,幾乎有兩種情況是無法避免的,那就是用餐與交通。
在國外工作或旅行,幾乎有兩種情況是無法避免的,那就是用餐與交通。而在多益普及測驗中,外出用餐(dining out)的情境共有餐廳(restaurants)、午餐(lunches)與預約(reservation)三個子情境,就讓我們先從餐廳的簡介開始學習吧!
在多益普及測驗中,餐廳簡介通常會以整體的簡介資訊(短文)或是簡單的菜單(表格)呈現。不管是短文或表格,這類應用性的文體,在國中會考或類似測驗中都很常見,值得學習者投入心思好好學習。而最佳學習方式,就是找家有英文菜單和英語服務人員的餐廳,直接親身體驗一次。
在開始練習後面的閱讀測驗之前,先來看看題目中會出現的情境單字,不須背起來,但至少要清楚了解這些單字的含義,再往下作答。若有時間,也不妨點進老師設計的Quizlet,可以幫助讀者邊聽邊學,加強記憶和聽力。
熟悉情境單字後,請試著在五分鐘之內、不查字典的狀況下,完成接下來兩篇與餐廳簡介相關的閱讀測驗題組。若希望收聽詳解,可以點閱老師精心錄製的五分鐘詳解影片,幫助讀者快速學習!
讀懂菜單,關鍵單字在這裡!
