Score band 8.0

Listening: 36/40

section 1234: [0]/[0]/[0]/[4]

技術性失分(字尾s、拼音等原本應該可以拿分): 2題

• What actions help to make these changes
• gather data(both statistics and textual data)

Review

(1) 沒有地圖直接聽電話講解，同時要分辨正確的地點跟distractor，雖然這次沒有錯，但考試的時候並沒有完全聽懂，這部分需要再加強。

…there are other keys that you may need…You’ll find them hanging on a hook inside the cupboard in the hallway next to the hot water cupboard. (distractor — next to the hot water cupboard, not inside it.)

(2) 複數詞要注意聽填空的前後文提示，或是題目前後文提示

…how different sorts of actions can facilitate or even encourage these changes to happen.

(3) 在section 4的最後一段，因為有一格沒有聽清楚而分心了，影響到後面的幾題，導致連環出錯。沒有辦法挽回的題目就應該要果斷放棄。

1950s — the discipline emerged. Economic issues were the major consideration.

1970s — Development Studies became more critical of common practices and underlying assumptions. Questions were raised about power, environmental sustainability and unequal gender issues.

(4) 這次的題目明顯簡單很多，所以得分較高；另外也戴上耳機聽起來比較清楚，希望能繼續保持。原則上就是要不斷用關鍵字定錨，確認每段聽力到底說到哪裡，另外就是拼字、單複數以及單字的數量要注意。
