PTE口语RA机经难题满分意群分法

各位学霸们好，今天黄老师来分享一下PTE口语Read Aloud中断句比较难的几道真题断句点。

举例说明

首先，在我们看题之前，黄老师想纠正一个很多学生都有的错误观点：PTE口语越连贯，断句越少越好。这其实是不对的，我们用一个中文句子举例同学们就知道了：

洁白可爱的小绵羊蹦蹦跳跳欢快活泼地在一望无垠的大草原上吃着鲜嫩碧绿的初春青草。

同学们可以读一下这句话，第一次读一次不断一气呵成，第二次读这样断句：

洁白可爱的小绵羊 / 蹦蹦跳跳欢快活泼地 / 在一望无垠的大草原上 / 吃着鲜嫩碧绿的初春青草。

是不是第二次感觉要正常很多？

如何拿到口语流利度高分？

PTE口语也是一样，一气呵成不看到标点不断句（甚至很多同学标点也不断）是不行的，这样电脑就会因为无法判断你是否理解你答案的意思，而导致扣分。而在口语RA中，断句不但涉及到口语的分数，也涉及到阅读的分数，电脑会根据同学们的断句点选择是否合理来评分。

所以，同学们切记，一个句子就算没有标点符号，也需要按照语法把它合理的分成若干个意群，读的时候每个意群内需要一气呵成不能断，但是意群和意群之间需要有断句，这样才能拿到口语流利度（Fluency）的一个高分！
