2 1 Postgraduate Party, two ordinary undergraduates, successfully landed in the journalism and communication major of Xi Jiaotong University. I am very happy to share with you my postgraduate entrance examination experience this year. I have typed thousands of these words, but I don't know where to start. Why did you choose Xi Jiaotong University? My father is from Laoshan, and I am the only child in my family. My parents want me to accompany them, and I'm a little homesick. I went to college for four years and drifted away, so I decided to go home when I took the postgraduate entrance examination.
Xi Jiaotong University is still very recognized in our local area, and the school has a high gold content, so it didn't take long to choose a school. Next, let's take a look at how I was admitted to the Graduate School of Journalism and Communication of Xi Jiaotong University, hoping to help everyone.
Comparing the enrollment catalogues of 202 1 Postgraduate Entrance Examination and 2022 Postgraduate Entrance Examination, we can clearly see that the enrollment of Xi Jiaotong University has changed greatly in the past two years. The competition intensity of Xi Jiaotong University's new postgraduate entrance examination was not very strong in the first two years, but it has obviously increased in the past 22 years, which is directly related to the decrease in enrollment. Let's seize the time and seize the rope of landing under the general trend!
Second,? Reasons for choosing a school
Xi Jiaotong University has a history of 20 years in journalism and communication education. The School of Journalism and New Media (referred to as the School of New Media) was established in April 20 15, and was jointly established by Xi Jiaotong University and the Propaganda Department of Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee. It is a new journalism school named after new media and oriented to the training of teaching and research personnel. The college has 1 master's degree program in journalism and communication (20 1 1), and the Ministry of Education has the first batch of master's degree programs in journalism and communication (2010); In 2007, it began to recruit doctoral students in Marxist theory and cultural communication, and began to recruit doctoral students in journalism and communication theory and practice on 20 10; On 20 16, undergraduate students majoring in network and new media began to enroll students; In 20 19, it was approved as the second-level interdisciplinary doctoral program of "New Media and Social Governance". 202 1 began to recruit doctoral students independently, forming a "undergraduate-graduate-doctoral" through training system. The major of "Network and New Media" was rated as a first-class major at the provincial level, a first-class major in soft science in China, and ranked fourth in China. "New Media and Social Governance" and "Communication Perspective and Social Hotspots" were rated as provincial first-class courses. Xi Jiaotong University is the best choice for new media people.
Third, prepare lessons for professional courses
My preparation can be divided into four rounds:
May and June: the first round of study-mastering the basic knowledge.
July and August: the second round of study-expanding knowledge, supplementing and doing special topics.
9-165438+1October: the third round of study-endorsement+practice+answer+simulation.
65438+ February: Sprint
In the first round, master the basic knowledge of each subject.
The first round is a relatively relaxed state to complete the preparation, to avoid the long front and fatigue in the later period. This part should also learn to grasp the big and let go of the small, and make some choices. For example, books such as "Communication Theory" and "Introduction to Network Communication" must be read or read repeatedly, and others can be skimmed as a supplement, with appropriate details.
In the second round, learn to expand knowledge+do special topics.
Especially in the forefront of academic circles, we can expand our understanding of the theory without worrying about the cheese of this class of graduate students. I followed the notes sent by the teacher in the institution to learn the special topic. The content of the special topic is very comprehensive, with both theories and cases. I suggest you keep your notes as concise as possible, otherwise you will find it difficult to choose in the end and the pressure will increase during the sprint. The notes I have been reading before the sprint are the framework of my dictation.
Three rounds, focusing on input+output.
At this stage, learning is getting more and more tense, emphasizing the combination of input and output. According to the teacher's plan, I practiced week after week and recited without falling behind. Understand the knowledge points over and over again in front of the book and form your own framework, and you will have a general impression, so that the subsequent endorsement will be smoother. In the process of endorsement, it is normal to forget, so even if you forget, don't be disheartened, and check for leaks in time. My endorsement method is to recite by chapter, and then recite the framework and keywords by myself with draft paper. If there are any missing knowledge points during dictation, I will supplement them in time.
Attention, everyone. At this stage, we should also pay attention to the adjustment of mentality. I have collapsed many times during the postgraduate entrance examination, and I often cry to the examiner to solve my psychological problems. Everyone should find a decompression method that suits them.
The fourth round, sprint.
All subjects have entered a full-scale sprint. Politically, Xiao Si Xiao brushed eight questions many times, and Xiao recited four major questions many times. You can start reciting your English composition. Professional courses are still output-oriented, and at the same time, simulation questions are reviewed to check for missing items. Especially at this time, my homework is often changed to two or even three drafts. Everyone should be patient and correct their mistakes before the exam so that they won't regret going to the examination room.

Basic knowledge is the most important. The examination of the basic knowledge of the 2022 exam is as high as 95 points. It is a direct exam in short answer and discussion, which is as difficult as mastering, so we must strengthen the study of basic knowledge.
With the study of network communication theory and the tracking of some current events, some new hot topics, such as "whoring Di Yun" and "Changjin Lake", appeared in the examination paper of 440 in 2022, and the frequency of network hot events was extremely high.
For the master, the basic fixed question type of the news practice exam is comment, but to be on the safe side, everyone should also master the practical questions such as news rewriting, analysis and news planning.
Also remind everyone to pay attention to English! ! ! At least some professional expressions of classical communication theories must be written down. English expressions often appear in the examination questions of Xi Jiaotong University!
Fourth, English preparation.
English preparation for postgraduate entrance examination is divided into four stages:
1. Recite words (300 words every day from March to July, gradually reduced after summer vacation, read as you like before the exam 100 words).
2. Do reading (read the words after two times-do it before the exam).
3. New questions, translation, cloze (5438+ 10 for reference).
4. Recite the composition (165438+ 10). Just recite 1-2 model essays! )
First,? Lexical text
Words are the most important thing in our study and the foundation of English, so we must learn and memorize words every day, preferably until the day before the exam. Of course, memorizing words is not blind. At this stage, we can focus on the high-frequency vocabulary in previous exams, which can improve efficiency.
Second, grammar articles.
Many students face grammar like a mountain, but grammar is not as difficult as everyone thinks, at least for postgraduate English. The reason why we say this is because the grammatical requirements of our postgraduate entrance examination English are not as high as everyone thinks. Of course, this does not mean that we should give up. Grammar, as a part of the foundation, also needs to be mastered by everyone. To what extent? Bian Xiao's suggestion is to at least grasp the trunk of the sentence and understand the general structure of the sentence. Therefore, in the process of learning, you can practice finding the main parts of long and difficult sentences, one long and difficult sentence a day.
Third, read the article.
Of course, reading needs to be brushed! When do you brush it? In fact, there are different strategies according to each different stage. At this stage, you can brush the real questions from 10 to 15, but the method is to brush one article in two or three days, read the whole article on the first day and read it intensively on the second and third days. After all, this is not a sprint stage, and students can still lay a solid foundation. By the end of 10, students can refuel and brush the real questions. 1 1 In the middle and late months, they can practice a lot of simulation questions and make a final sprint.
Four. Translate articles
Translation is always a headache for everyone. Even some sentences can be understood, but they just can't be translated. Why? In fact, it's very simple, that is, I practice too little, so how can I practice? Secretly tell everyone that at this stage, it is a good choice to practice a long and difficult sentence every day.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) to write an article
The most difficult thing in writing is to have nothing to say, so from now on, you can often watch some news to help you broaden your mind and enrich your topics. Besides, I suggest writing an article every week. After all, if you write more, the content will naturally be enriched.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) political preparation
1, basic stage (July-August in summer)
Review goal: Summer vacation is the prime time for political review of postgraduate entrance examination, because the pressure of mathematics, English and professional courses is not so great during this time, so you can take some time out for special review every day.
Review arrangement: during this period, I mainly have a basic understanding of the politics of postgraduate entrance examination, lay a good foundation, review videos or teaching materials (fine and concise), and then brush "1000 questions" to find out the distribution, difficulties and weaknesses of my review.
2. Strengthening phase (September -65438+ 10)
Review goal: through summer review, there is a certain foundation. This stage is to focus on review and widen the gap with others.
Review arrangement: you don't need to do too many questions at this stage, but you don't need to do too many questions either. You just need to brush "1000" again, find out your own loopholes, and then go back to the textbook to check for leaks and fill gaps.
3. Sprint stage (11-65438+February)
Review goal: in the sprint stage, we should focus on subjective questions, begin to recite and practice subjective questions, and learn and summarize the skills, ideas and framework of subjective questions. At the same time, in the last month, you can't expect to include all the outline knowledge points in your mind as before, but you should grasp the key points according to the direction of the exam.
Review arrangement: while reciting subjective questions, you can't leave multiple-choice questions behind, because the real score is multiple-choice questions. At this stage, you should practice keeping your hand feeling every day and continue to check for leaks and fill gaps through multiple-choice questions.
Multiple-choice questions are the main places for political scoring in postgraduate entrance examination. High scores can reach 45+ or even 50 points, and low scores can be as low as 20 points.

Here, I want to emphasize the importance of planning. During the preparation for the exam, I will write down the study plan for the next day every day, make a weekly summary, and then write down the plan for next week. There will also be a monthly plan before the start of each month. The advantage of planning is to let you know where you are now and where you are going. When you have your own progress bar, you won't be disturbed by the progress of others. There is a sales plan book on a treasure, and interested friends can search it. Of course, don't plan too much, it will be very frustrating if you can't finish it all the time ~
Regarding the mentality, in fact, the postgraduate entrance examination is a process of double tempering mentality. In this process, you will deny your ideas countless times and feel that you can pass the exam countless times. These are all normal. The key is to face up to yourself and not be timid because of fear.
It is also particularly important not to care about how many hours you study every day, but to think about whether you study wholeheartedly and efficiently. In the last year, I basically played for a week every month, but I was absorbed in sitting at my desk and "denied"! (Ha ha ha, the main meaning is not to indulge in chatting. ) and blindly taking time as the measure of learning will only fall into the trap of studying for more than ten hours every day, but the efficiency is extremely low.
In addition, siblings must pay attention to their health. The body is the capital of the revolution, and the later you will understand the importance of a healthy body. In the first year of postgraduate entrance examination, I worked nonstop for four months. From June to February, 5438, due to excessive fatigue and decreased immunity, she got herpes zoster. When I get better, I have to take an exam. During the exam, I was still ... (girls know) the whole physical condition was particularly poor, which really affected the exam status. I had stomach trouble again in June165438+1October this year. I rested at home for half a month and had a fever, which also affected my study. Pay special attention to your health after you get well, and you didn't get sick again before the exam, so the exam went smoothly ~ from now on, do more exercise ~
Postgraduates should handle the relationship between subjective initiative and objective regularity, respect and apply the objective laws of learning, and give full play to subjective initiative. In order to give full play to subjective initiative, postgraduate students must remember the following points: first, choose a school from their own reality, and the goal is best that they can grasp, not too high or too low; Second, practice is the basic way to give full play to people's subjective initiative, so you must learn and use knowledge by yourself; Third, Marx also said that to give full play to subjective initiative, we must learn to use certain material conditions and means. Senior students in expensive remedial classes are not recommended to apply for the exam, but it is not advisable to give up completely. If you really want to apply, it is recommended to strengthen the sprint.
