原語概述練習(xí)是在影子練習(xí)的延續(xù)。就是學(xué)員用原語跟讀完一段講話內(nèi)容后，停下來憑記憶力對(duì)剛剛跟讀的內(nèi)容用同種語言進(jìn)行概述，歸納講話內(nèi)容的核心思想。如： “On April 8 we have noticed the news of Japanese Prime Minister Morihiro Hosokawas resignation.This is an internal affairs of Japan . Prime Minister Hosokawa has made a valuable effort to promote Sino-Japanese friendly relations.We hope that Sino-Japanese relations can continue stable and healthful development.” 就可以概括為： “Japanese Prime Minister resigned.We hope this will not have impact on Sino-Japanese relations.” 開始做該類練習(xí)時(shí)，間隔時(shí)間可以相對(duì)短一點(diǎn)，在學(xué)員掌握要領(lǐng)之后再逐漸加長。原語概述練習(xí)的目的是培養(yǎng)學(xué)員短期記憶力、邊聽、邊說、邊想（抓核心內(nèi)容）的習(xí)慣。
