SPEAKING (Integrated task) SYNTHESIZING INFORMATION
For this skill, you are required to practice and perform the following skills:
• Understanding information from both reading and listening passages
• Taking notes of important information while reading and listening and using this information in your spoken response
• Synthesizing the background information from the reading with more specific information from listening passages
• Using the points in the listening to highlight principles or differences in the reading
• Recognizing a speaker’s purpose and attitude
• Paraphrasing information
To achieve this skill you are required to apply the following strategies and process.
Process Strategy
Read, listen, and take notes You are required to take notes on major points from both reading and listening.
↓
Read the question and understand the task Identify what kind of relationship between the information from the reading and that from the listening the question asks you to discuss. What aspects of each does the prompt want you to discuss.
↓
Select ideas from our notes Choose the points that you need to discuss. Think about how the points in the lecture relate to the points in the reading. The listening passage will present details that will either challenge the information presented in the reading, present a counter example or describe the consequences of an attempt to solve a problem presented in the reading.
↓
Organize the ideas Include information from both the reading and listening passages. Clearly show the relationship between the information presented in the listening and that presented in the reading passage.
Now you are required to make a summary from the information you pick out from the reading passage and the listening passage. You have to plan and write your response. Your response will be judged on the basis of the quality of your performance of the speaking task, and on how well your response presents the points in the lecture and their relationship to the reading passage.
Read the text and take necessary notes in the Reading Note below.
Announcement from the Principal
In order to discourage students from missing too much school, a new absence policy will take effect next week. There has been a steady increase in student absences over the past few months. In order to prevent this from becoming a serious problem, students who miss more than one day of school will be required to show a doctor’s note explaining their absence. Students who need to miss school for non-medical reasons must submit a written request in advance to the principal. The principal and other staff will decide whether the request will be granted.
WORDS & EXPRESSIONS
Absence policy (n): nội qui điểm danh/chuyên cần
Non-medical reason (n): lí do khác ngoài y tế
In your Note, you have to write brief line about
1) the issue or topic/main idea of the reading passage. The topic states what the passage is generally about.
2) the supporting ideas/points to develop this topic. These supporting ideas explain or describe the issue stated in the introduction.
Reading note
Topic/Main idea: New absence policy
Supporting Points: To prevent Ss’ absence increasing
- Show Dr.’s note
- ……………..
- ……………
Now listen to the two students as they discuss the announcement and take necessary notes in the Listening Note below.
In your note, you have to write brief line about
1) the speaker’s attitude/point of view about the issue stated in the reading passage. The speaker’s attitude guides what the conversation is developed with the supporting ideas. For this task, you are required to decide whether the speaker/lecturer agrees or disagrees with the writer’s opinion stated in the reading passage.
2) the supporting ideas to develop this topic. These supporting ideas explain why the speaker agrees/disagrees. For this task, you are required to identify the arguments the speaker/lecturer used to refute/support each of the writer’s supporting ideas/points.
Tip:
To identify the issue/topic of the reading/listening passage you should identify the writer/speaker’s point of view or his/her position toward this issue. Very often, this is claimed in a sentence called thesis statement which is characteristically at the beginning of the introductory paragraph. This thesis statement tells you whether something is good or bad, desirable or undesirable. This thesis statement (in the introduction) signals that the writer/speaker will have to prove/support/persuade the reader/hearer with supporting ideas/details (in the body).
Listening note
Opinion: Disagree
Reason 1: …………………………………………………………..
Reason 2: Miss school- parents know
not school’s business why absent
WORDS & EXPRESSIONS
Discourage (n): làm ngã long, nản lòng
take effect (n): có hiệu lực
doctor’s note (n): giấy phép của bác sĩ
buck (n): đô la
ridiculous (n): buồn cười, lố bịch
invasion (n): sự xâm phạm
privacy (n): sự riêng tư
Question:
The man expresses his opinion of the announcement about the new absence policy. State his opinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.
To make a plan for your response, the outline below can help you to decide what should be on the plan for the presentation.
