Landlord, you said you would take an English postgraduate exam. I don't know how much you know about English graduate students. English graduate students should be good at oral listening as a second language. Most schools offer Russian, French and Japanese as second languages. I want to know which language you are good at. If you have basic knowledge of these languages, you can consider taking an English postgraduate exam. Moreover, the second interview requires listening and speaking (the second foreign language requirement is equivalent to the difficulty of the public English test for non-English majors, and I can't say what level it reaches). Then there is the content of English research test and IELTS, but there is a big difference between CET-6 and IELTS. English research is basically to reach the level of TEM-8 for English majors. I suggest you do eight real questions for English majors over the years and see how you do. If you pass, you can naturally consider taking the English graduate school, otherwise you can never touch the English graduate school. It should be said that among all majors, English study is the most difficult to try. You should also consider my words objectively. Oh, don't joke about your future. In fact, if you think you have an advantage in English, you will have an advantage over others in other majors besides English graduate school. The national English test paper is not simple. If you can answer well, you will also give others a lot of points! But if you compete with English majors, with all due respect, your competitiveness may not be strong enough. I wonder if you have seen how English majors attend classes every day and what they have learned? It's enough for you to teach yourself English literature and linguistics (three students in my class have passed TEM-8, and they all think it's too hard to learn English, so they want to change their major at the graduate stage)! If you are still a freshman or a sophomore, you may still be able to come, but you should come according to your English major. But it's really not easy. You really have to study two majors. What problems should graduate students pay attention to in cross-professional English test? First, make clear the purpose of the cross-disciplinary examination for English majors.

Before students choose the study direction of English graduate students, they must make clear two questions. First of all, why do you want to study English as a graduate student? Second, what are the advantages of choosing this major?

Interest is important, but more importantly, do you have a comparative advantage over those English majors or your original major? Like literature? Have you considered the development of the industry and the orientation of future employment? Have you improved your major? Because this is not only related to the quality of your review in the next few months, but also to your employment and even to your career direction in life. After all, the postgraduate entrance examination is more about perseverance than interest.

There are many cross-disciplinary students in the postgraduate entrance examination for English majors, including literature, business administration, finance, law, tourism and computer. Many of them have got the "admission ticket" for English studies, and their success factors are nothing more than three points: strong interest, clear purpose and comprehensive preparation.

Second, make clear the examination subjects and contents of English major postgraduate entrance examination.

There are many interdisciplinary students who don't know the exam characteristics of English graduate school (in fact, there are also many English major candidates who are not very clear), and some students even sign up for some public postgraduate English remedial classes. In fact, this is far from enough, and even counterproductive. Different from other majors, the postgraduate entrance examination for English majors only involves 1-2 professional courses, and the rest, such as politics, English and mathematics, are public courses, which are unified throughout the country. There is only one public course for English majors to take the postgraduate entrance examination-politics, and the other three courses are put forward by the school independently. They are second foreign language, basic English and professional English.

Second foreign language, full score 100. Candidates can choose from Japanese, French, German, Russian and Spanish according to the school syllabus. In recent years, there are many colleges and universities that take French and Japanese exams, and Russian is rarely taken except in several schools in Northeast China.

Basic English, full mark 150, is also called "English proficiency test" in some schools such as Peking University and Shandong University. The main test contents include grammar and rhetoric, translation, reading and writing. Some schools only test some of the questions, such as reading and translation in Beijing Foreign Studies University and English-Chinese translation in Shanghai International Studies University, but often these seemingly simple questions test your real English application and control ability. Some students are eager for quick success and instant benefit, thinking that they can only learn reading and translation, or just do the real problems in school. In fact, these are far from enough. Instructing the candidates who have competed with you over the years is far more than that.

Professional English, full score 150. The main examination contents are British and American literature, linguistics, English culture and so on. This should be prepared in combination with the outline of the institution applying for the exam. Some schools only take one of them, such as Beijing Normal University, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Shanghai Foreign Studies University, Beihang University and Shanghai Jiaotong University. Some schools have to test all three contents, called comprehensive English, such as Beijing Foreign Studies University, Beijing Jiaotong University, Tianjin Foreign Studies University, Dalian Foreign Studies University and so on.

Third, how to effectively allocate review time for cross-professional English postgraduate entrance examination

For the candidates who take part in the English postgraduate entrance examination, it is recommended to read through the reference books in the summer vacation because they have never been exposed to English major courses before. It doesn't matter if they don't understand. Many English majors will eat the words alive even after learning them. So as long as you bite the bullet and finish reading it, and then put the question behind you, you can consult a professional teacher, so that the efficiency of your review will be improved a lot and you will take fewer detours.

In terms of time, you can read all the designated reference books (including the second foreign language) for 2-3 times before June 65438+ 10, and then enter the real topic review stage from mid-June 65438+ 10, so as to deepen the review of the concept and key points of reference books in the real topic practice. In addition, it should be possible to prepare for politics in the middle of June 5438+00.

Fourth, the real questions for English majors in various schools

For cross-disciplinary students, more attention is paid to the real problems of English research in various schools, and some students are almost superstitious. However, from the examinations in the past two years, we know that many colleges and universities are constantly adjusting their proposition methods and making innovations and changes in the types and contents of questions. Under this condition, the limitations of the real question appear.

Fifth, pay attention to the cross-professional English test and the re-examination oral test for postgraduate entrance examination.

The proportion of re-examination for postgraduate entrance examination is increasing, and the weight of re-examination for Beijing Foreign Studies University accounts for 50%. In previous years' training, there were also some people who failed in the interview at the last minute. Therefore, it is too late to spend some time on oral interview training, pronunciation and intonation training and reading, especially for the candidates who take the postgraduate entrance examination for English. I hope I can help you!
