Retell Lecture是PTE考试中非常让人头痛的题型，不仅要求口语输出的流利和准确，更需要稳定的听力
水平、灵活的逻辑思维和成熟的速记能力，可谓是难题中的难题。墨尔本文波PTE继续为大家从阅卷官角度讲解面对Retell Lecture时的关键技巧。
Study the picture if there is one. It will give you a general idea about the context of the lecture. From the picture, try to predict what the lecture will be about. You will have three seconds to get ready for the start of the lecture.
Lecture开始前有3秒钟准备时间，根据图片内容推测讲课的大概内容。
Take notes. Use the Erasable Noteboard Booklet and pen provided. Do not try to write down every word you hear. Unless you are able to write quickly and accurately, you will probably fall behind and miss important. Instead, focus on key words.
做笔记，切忌把听到的每个词都写下来，因为会让你的听力落后从而错过关键信息；只记关键词。
Writing quickly is a key skill to master. Use abbreviations whenever possible. Ignore articles (e.g., a, an, the) unless they are necessary. Omitting the vowels from words is one way to increase writing speed.
活用速记技巧，比如缩写，忽略冠词，省略元音等等。
Key words include names, numbers, dates, times, and words and phrases that are stressed. Words and phrases that are repeated are usually central to the main idea,
关键信息包括人名，数字，日期，时间和其它被强调的词和短语；重复出现的词往往是主要观点的核心内容。
Focus on understanding the main idea of the lecture and the key points that support it, If the speaker draws a conclusion, be sure you have identified it. Try to identify the overall purpose of the lecture.
注意理解主要观点以及讲课人是如何支持这个观点的；如果最后有总结，务必要记下来；尝试概括课程的整体目标是什么。
Listen for clues the speaker’s attitude, opinion, or stance. Be aware of the speaker’s tone of voice and delivery, and try to detect any emotions that are being conveyed.
注意听讲课人的态度、观点和立场，包括感受语气语调和试图表达的情绪。
When the lecture ends, you will have approximately 10 seconds to review your notes. Use this time to organize what you will say. When you hear the tone, begin speaking. You will have 40 seconds to complete the task.
开始说前有10秒准备时间，用来整理笔记内容，合理分配给接下来的40秒。
While you are speaking, if you lose your train of thought, or find yourself at a loss for words, do not remain silent. The microphone turns off automatically if there is no sound for three seconds. If you need to pause to think or to check your notes, use pause fillers such as um, uh, Let me see, and so on. Saying something – anything – is better than saying nothing because once the microphone turns off, you cannot turn it on again.
坚持说完40秒不要停，就算没听懂内容不知道说什么也要自己脑补出一个答案说；说任何内容都比什么都没说强很多。
