Listening and reading require many skills in common. Finding the main idea in a paragraph is just one of these skills. The purpose of this talk is to discuss what a main idea is and how to recognize the main idea. Perhaps the best way to understand the main idea is to think of it as the central idea, or the most important idea which gives the paragraph purpose and direction. That is to say, when you are trying to find the main idea, you are actually thinking about the purpose of the given paragraph: Is it to inform you about something, to explain, to narrate? Or is it to compare, to argue, to persuade, etc. ? When you get the right answer for yourself, you are likely to have got the main idea.
聽力和閱讀所需要的技巧有很多是相通的。找到一篇文章的主旨就是這些技巧之一。 這次要談的是文章主旨指的是什么，以及怎樣判斷文章主旨。 可能理解文章主旨的最好的方式是，把它看成一篇文章的中心思想或者看成是文章中指明方向的最重要的思想。也就是說，當你在找一篇文章的中心思想的時候，你其實想的是這篇文章的寫作目的是什么：是要告知讀者什么事情，還是要解釋某件事情，還是要講述什么事情？還是說作者是在對比、評論、說服什么等等。當你通過這些找到了正確答案，你離文章的主旨就不遠了。
