I’m going to talk about the time I left a university assignment until the last minute and had to work flat out to get it finished. This was about ten years ago when I was doing my Master’s degree.

I had to do several 3000-word assignments for the modules on my Master’s course, but I remember that there was one in particular that I really struggled with. I had been procrastinating and putting it off for weeks, and in the end I left myself just two days to get the whole assignment done. This included finding and reading relevant books and articles, deciding on my thesis and assignment title, and producing a final draft which had to be handed in to the department office before the deadline.

The pressure of such a close deadline actually forced me to manage the task in a really efficient way. My first step was to decide on the general area that I wanted to write about, and then I limited myself to just ten research sources. I printed the most relevant pages, highlighted the key paragraphs and made some notes to summarise and synthesise the ideas that I found interesting. Finally, I just started writing the main body of the assignment, and I wrote the title and the introduction last.

I had mixed feelings at the time. I was annoyed with myself for leaving it so late to get started on the assignment, but I was relieved and quite impressed with myself when I managed to complete the final draft so quickly. It was also quite stressful and tiring to have to find articles, do photocopying and then write everything so quickly. I wouldn’t want to go through that again!

Think about how you can improve your own Speaking test.

Transcript

Examiner: Alright? Remember you have one to two minutes for this, so don’t worry if I stop you. I’ll tell you when the time is up.

Candidate: OK

Examiner: Can you start speaking now, please?

Candidate: Yes. One of the most important things I have is my piano because I like playing the piano. I got it from my parents to my twelve birthday, so I have it for about nine years, and the reason why it is so important for me is that I can go into another world when I’m playing piano. I can forget what’s around me and what … I can forget my problems and this is sometimes quite good for a few minutes. Or I can play to relax or just, yes to … to relax and to think of something completely different.

Examiner: Thank you. Would it be easy to replace this, this piano?

حتما برای چند بار اول که با این روش تست خواندن و درک مطلب بزنید، به این نتیجه برسید که این روش با روش خواندن ابتدا تا انتهای متن و بعد پاسخ گویی به سوالات، تفاوت زمانی چندانی ندارد و تقریبا باز هم وقت کم میاورید.

این کاملا طبیعی است. دو نکته را مد نظر داشته باشید. اول اینکه پیشرفت در خواندن و کم کردن زمان به طرز قابل توجه در مهارت خواندن و درک مطلب دیرتر از مهارتهای دیگر اتفاق می افتد. به عنوان مثال بعد از دو ماه تمرین در مهارت شنیدن، پیشرفت شما چشم گیر تر از دو ماه تمرین در مهارت خواندن خواهد بود. بنابراین باید زمان بیشتری را به خواندن اختصاص بدهید تا پیشرفت در این مهارت سریعتر رخ بدهد. دوم اینکه کاهش زمان بطور یک باره رخ نمی دهد و شما باید سعی کنید پس هر بار تست زنی، البته در شرایط امتحانی، چند دقیقه از زمان خود کم کنید. دقت داشته باشید که کم کردن زمان فقط با مدیریت زمان ممکن است

بعنوان مثال سوالی که بیش از دو یا سه دقیقه وقت شما را گرفته است را رها کنید و بعدا اگر زمان داشتید و یا در پایان تست به آن مراجعه کنید.

در نتیجه شاید پس از مثلا بیست بار تمرین و تست زنی با کمک این تکنیک ها، شما به تدریج در مهارت خواندن به زمان کمتری نیاز داشته باشید ولی با خواندن کامل متن و بعد پاسخگویی به سوالات، به شیوه سنتی، کمتر کردن زمان خواندن به این سرعت و به این زودی اتفاق نخواهد افتاد.
