有人將劍橋通用五級(jí)的

KET（A2）和PET（B1）

稱為“小雅思”。

我覺(jué)得有兩方面原因：

第一，

機(jī)構(gòu)用雅思在學(xué)生和家長(zhǎng)中的認(rèn)可度來(lái)帶動(dòng)宣傳；

第二，

這兩個(gè)考試確實(shí)一脈相承，都是劍橋血統(tǒng)，

因此在英語(yǔ)能力考查和

出題特點(diǎn)方面有很多相似之處。

最近在領(lǐng)兒子備考KET的過(guò)程中，

有很多題和雅思閱讀的考查點(diǎn)非常像。

例1：

Reading and Writing Part 2（KET真題）

Shaziye

I live with my parents in the city of Bursa, Turkey, and both my mother's and my father's parents live in a village by the sea not far from us. When they were younger, my father's parents lived and worked in Bulgaria. They were both teachers, and came back to Turkey when they finished work. I’m glad we all live in the same country now because we can see each other every week. I love their village, but they always get up very early and I do as well when I stay there. That's not easy for me.

Frida

Six people live in my house in the city of Leon, Mexico. My mother's mother, my parents, my two brothers and me. I'm really lucky because my father's parents also live in a street near our flat, so l visit them nearly every day, too. I call my mother's mother Bela. She had a restaurant and now cooks fantastic meals for us. Mum can't cook well, but I can because Bela's teaching me.

Agata

I often visit my father’s parents because they live close to us. But my mother's parents are travelling around the world so it’s not possible to go to and see them. We often chat on the internet. My father’s father works ten hours every week. He’s a doctor, so we always phone him when we feel ill. My father’s mother was also a doctor, but she doesn’t work now. I have lunch with her on Saturdays.

對(duì)應(yīng)題目：

1 Which person can't visit some of her grandparents?

2 Which person is learning something from one of her grandparents?

3 Which person says one of her grandparents still has a job?

4 Which person lives near all four of her grandparents?

5 Which person lives with one grandparent?

6 Which person finds one thing difficult when she visits her grandparents?

7. Which person eats with her grandmother once a week?

寶貝們可以看看題目

和文章中我標(biāo)記同一顏色的詞，

對(duì)照一下，然后你品，你細(xì)品，

能不能品出來(lái)這是：

幾組同義近義轉(zhuǎn)述。

對(duì)嘍！

作為一個(gè)教雅思閱讀多年的老母親，

我看這題的時(shí)候我就嘟囔，

這和雅思閱讀的paraphrase的考查點(diǎn)一樣。

那么，什么是paraphrase呢？

一起看牛津字典的解釋：

to express what sb has said or written using different words, or in a different way, especially in order to make it easier to understand.

（用不同的詞或句式釋義）。

例如這篇文章：

文章里面是not far from，題里面是near；

文章里面是not possible to go to and see，題里面是can’t visit；

文章里面是havelunch with，題里面是eats with。

這是KET真題，下面看一個(gè)PET真題：

例2

Reading（PET真題）

THIS WC IS OUT OF ORDER.

Please use alternative facilities inCarriage 3.

對(duì)應(yīng)答案：

You can’t use this toilet. There is another one in Coach C.

這里面我們要知道alternative等于another，out of order 相當(dāng)于not working/broken。

如果說(shuō)KET階段備考

可以有這方面的意識(shí)就可以，

那么PET階段必須落在筆頭，

因?yàn)樵~匯量加大，

句法結(jié)構(gòu)復(fù)雜，

光靠腦子是不行的。

這是PET學(xué)生的總結(jié)的詞匯筆記

（這個(gè)小朋友還有專門(mén)的句法分析

和錯(cuò)題分析的筆記，

一枚非常好的寶寶！），

可以參照一下哦！

KET和PET的備考

不能像學(xué)新概念一樣逐字翻譯，

老師也不能把閱讀文章逐字翻譯。

和雅思一樣，

詞匯方面逐漸培養(yǎng)paraphrase的意識(shí)，

句子要進(jìn)行句法分析，

段落要進(jìn)行結(jié)構(gòu)分析，

文章要做快速閱讀，

按照雅思的培養(yǎng)方案絕對(duì)是正道，

因?yàn)镵ET和PET的雅思痕跡實(shí)在太重了！
