Table 6.20 (continued)


Protocol 3 (Gap No. 5; Half correct;
TEM 4: 79; TEM 8 Mini: 4)

Fan: Thefifth one should be organization
R: Are you sure?
Fan: Organized. This sentence means ways of
note-taking and I wrote down in an organized way.
The word in the outline is“ways”, so I might have
missed some information here. But I only wrote
organized, and missed other words
Protocol 4 (Gap No. 5; Half correct;
TEM 4: 77; TEM 8 Mini: 4.5)

Wei: Um...about ways of note-taking. I heard the
original words are“in an organized way”, but then it
already exceeds three-word limit. Oh...or maybe I
could directly put it as organizing...(Comment on
notes)
R: So what kind of words did you write down for the
fifth blank?
Wei: I only wrote they will organize, will take notes
in an organized way. The note-taking should be
organized.“Organized”is the word I wrote down in
notes
R: But why did you change it into“organizing”?
Wei: Um. (5 s pause) Because at that time I was
thinking that the words beneath the blank also have
“ing”form, I think it might be organizing. If I use
“in organized, in organized way”, the next word is
also ways, that could be a repetition. Um...Ok, I’d
better modify it a bit, maybe clearer than organizing
R: What is it then?
Wei: I put it as“in organized way”
Protocol 5 (Gap No. 5; Half correct;
TEM 4: 72; TEM 8 Mini: 6.5)

Gao: Active in listening. Ways of note-taking. Um.
Thefifth maybe comprehensive note-taking.
Comprehensive note-taking, because I wrote
comprehensive notes in logical ways. Um. So, I
wrote comprehensive notes in logical ways
R: Are you sure?
Gao: Comprehensive note-taking. But not 100
percent sure. I think comprehensive is the most
important word, comprehensive. I think it’s a key
word here. I think the second key word is logic.
But I just choose comprehensive to put in it.
Comprehensive is the more important
R: What’s the relation between comprehensive and
way?
Gao: I mean comprehensive note-taking. It’sa,it’sa
way you take notes
