雅思單字:媒體與新聞
媒體題在雅思中很受歡迎,因為人們獲取 news 的方式變化太快。你可能會被問到:網絡新聞是否正在取代 newspaper?celebrity 文化是否對年輕人有害?針對兒童的 advertising 是否應被禁止?口語 Part 1 也常問你喜歡哪些節目或播客。
本詞組收集了關於製作、傳播和評判信息的詞彙。人物與角色:journalist、reporter、editor、audience、viewer。媒介形式:broadcast、television、radio、podcast、magazine、documentary、channel。內容:article、headline、report、coverage、commentary。coverage(報道)尤其好用:"The coverage of the election was biased."
批判性地討論媒體需要評價性詞彙。bias 和 biased 描述不公正的片面報道;propaganda 指為影響輿論而散佈的信息,常與政府有關;censorship 指對出版內容的審查。influence 和 influencer 用於討論社交媒體紅人的影響力,例如:"Because many influencers are paid to promote products, their opinions are not always reliable."
information、communication、entertainment 是通用但必不可少的詞,大多數情況下不可數:要說 a lot of information,而不是 informations。publish 和 publication 既能談新聞,也能談書籍與研究。press 可以指整個新聞界,如 freedom of the press。
口語 Part 3 考官常讓你比較過去和現在。可以練習 "Twenty years ago most people read a newspaper, whereas today many get their news from podcasts and social media." 這樣的句子。把媒體詞彙和比較句型結合,既能體現語言廣度,也有助於組織較長的回答。
每天用卡片學習幾分鐘:新詞明天隔夜複習,熟悉後間隔逐漸拉長。為了主動運用,用一小段文字比較你熟悉的兩個新聞來源,說明哪個更可靠、為什麼,並用上本詞組的單字。
