嗨，我是ETS的邁克爾。嗨，我是ETS的邁克爾。

we're going inside the TOEFL iBT Reading section.

我們要進入托福iBT閱讀部分的內部。

Specifically, the Sentence Simplification questions.

The correct answer choice contains the main ideas

正確的答案選擇包含的主要觀點是

but may leave out minor or unimportant details.

但可能會遺漏一些次要或不重要的細節。

It should restate the most important information

Sentence Simplification questions are easy to recognize

"Which of the sentences below best expresses

the essential information in the following sentence?

Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways

錯誤的選擇在重要的方面改變了意義

The highlighted sentence will have both essential

突出顯示的句子將同時具備以下兩個基本

that best includes the essential information

and leaves out the non-essential information.

Answering this type of question will require you

between the pieces of information in the sentence.

Often, there is an important cause/effect relationship,

or there may be a conclusion based on some evidence.

或有可能根據一些證據得出結論。

So look for those same ideas in the answer choices.

所以在答題選擇中也要找這些思路。

Here's an example of a sentence simplification question

下面是一個句子簡化題的例子。

from a passage about meteorite impacts and dinosaur extinction.

從一個關於隕石撞擊和恐龍滅絕的段落。

This type of question can be challenging,

這種類型的問題是很有挑戰性的。

that are similar to ones in the given sentence.

3 of the answer choices talk about the explosion...

其中3個答案選擇談到了爆炸... ...

... and 3 mention the destruction of plant life

......有3個提到了對植物生命的破壞。

It's A, because all of the important information is aligned

是A，因為所有的重要資訊都是一致的。

Both the given sentence and choice A talk about the large

給定的句子和選擇A都談到了大的

amounts of nitric acid and melted rock...

...that were the result of the explosion...

...and that started fires that destroyed plant life.

........並引發大火，摧毀植物生命。

that contradicts the highlighted sentence,

Choice B looks like a good answer at first,

選擇B一開始看起來是個不錯的答案。

because it talks about the fires spreading and burning forests...

因為它說的是火勢蔓延，燒燬森林... ...

which is different from the highlighted sentence,

which says that the nitric acid, along with the melted rock,

其中說到硝酸，以及融化的岩石。

because it leaves out essential information

about the fires and the destruction of forests

Finally, choice D is incorrect because again,

This one says that the fires caused the explosions,

一個小竅門，培養你的閱讀能力。

is to look at complex sentences or paragraphs,

and separate the main ideas from less important information.

並將主要觀點與不太重要的資訊分開。

Non-essential information can be things like examples,

非必要的資訊可以是例子之類的東西。

or text in parentheses, or very specific information

或括號內的文字，或非常具體的資訊。

There are lots of ways to improve your English skills.

有很多方法可以提高你的英語能力。

不管你做什麼，都要繼續練習。
