A good major, but not necessarily the school you want to go to.

Here are some suggestions for you:

There are often several key points on the road of life: going to school, choosing a job, etc. One step is not good, and the trajectory of life is really different. Postgraduate entrance examination can temporarily avoid the struggle to find a job in the extremely saturated talent market, and it is a way to get opportunities to improve their cultural quality. Postgraduate entrance examination is a common thing. In fact, the extraordinary events of a country, a nation, a group and an individual are always spent in ordinary days. The parties are all doing things with a normal heart and are impartial. According to the tradition of China, it is the golden mean. No, because it's too late.

First, choose a school

My preparation before the postgraduate entrance examination: I was thinking about Peking University. Because of time and my knowledge level, I can't and won't be allowed to enter Peking University. I'm glad I didn't get into Peking University. The experience of Xi Jiaotong University tells me how difficult it is to get into Peking University. (I sincerely thank my suggestion here) I have classified universities by sociology from the aspect of postgraduate entrance examination, and the index of classification is the number of professional reference books. The first type of schools include, for example, Institute of Sociology, China Academy of Social Sciences, Peking University, National People's Congress, Sun Yat-sen University, Shanghai University and Tsinghua University. Few sociology reference books in these schools are less than six at the initial examination. The Academy of Social Sciences recruits full-time research-oriented talents in this major. (You can download the questions from the website of Institute of Sociology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences); The bibliography of Peking University was not defined before. As long as it is a reference book for the undergraduate syllabus of Peking University, it is your bibliography. Peking University's statistical works include Guo Zhigang's social quantitative research methods. The theory of Sun Yat-sen University is also very demanding and difficult to describe. Turner's "The Structure of Social Theory" is in Sun Yat-sen University's theory book (which cannot be solved repeatedly). The specialized courses in these schools are divided into theory and method. Methods Statistics are often tested, and some methods are quite difficult, such as the method of Shanghai University. There are single choice questions, multiple choice questions and error correction questions in the college, and sometimes you will be asked to design a questionnaire or operate a topic. More importantly, the examination scope of these schools often exceeds their reference books. Peking University requires you to study sociology and sociology, which is copied by the National People's Congress. In my eyes, being admitted to Peking University, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Sun Yat-sen University can't be achieved in one year. There are so many books in Peking University that you can see the familiar realm in one year. Zhongshan's statistical requirements are also quite high, and interdisciplinary can only look at the ocean and sigh.

The attitude of students admitted to Peking University is to take a long-term view. Students admitted to Peking University must have theoretical knowledge. I remember a normal college student who was determined to enter Peking University from his freshman year. He read all the books of Peking University one by one and was finally nominated for the list. Last year, a student who was admitted to Peking University for the second time told me personally that it would take three years for a student to be admitted to Peking University and two years for this one to be admitted to Jiaotong University. On the other hand, students in these schools failed in the initial test, and the questions in these schools were too difficult and their scores were very low; Often the points you get are difficult to meet the requirements of the national re-examination, and you also sigh helplessly in the choice of adjustment. For example, my score is 360, and few students who are also admitted to other schools have 360. It is not that I am better than them, but that their professional courses are too difficult. Last year, the score of being admitted to the first place in Peking University was only 388. However, there are several students admitted to Jiaotong University. This is the strength of Peking University. Visiting these schools is not an impulse.

If you really want to be admitted to Peking University and Zhongshan, have you read these books carefully? China's native birth system, Jia Chunzeng's History of Foreign Sociology, Zheng Hangsheng's History and Introduction of Sociology, Lu Shuhua's Social Statistics, A Course of Social Research Methods, Yang's Modern Sociology Theory and Contemporary Sociology Theory. If you are familiar with these contents, I suggest that you can enter Peking University. Only in this way can you leave your precious time for politics and English. Because every entrance exam has to reach the line. Sociological English is higher than philosophy, with 60 points in English. People who take the postgraduate entrance examination will know how difficult it is for the majority of candidates to get 60 points.

The second category is that there are about 4-5 bibliographies, not many. Therefore, ordinary students should first consider such schools. Such as East China Normal University, Central China Normal University, Sichuan University, Shanxi University, Nanjing University and Suzhou University. But these schools also have difficulties. Specialized courses sometimes go beyond the scope of the bibliography. For example, the professional methods of Suzhou University have been tested this year: from the perspective of empirical research, the methodological significance of the "difference pattern" in Fei Xiaotong's Native China. There are not many books, which are beneficial and leave time for English and politics. Because the postgraduate entrance examination is over, it is really an inch of time and an inch of gold. If you are not very proficient in professional courses, it will be very embarrassing. If you give me another chance to take the postgraduate entrance examination, I will never choose Xi Jiaotong University, because it is not a little difficult, but quite difficult. Your English must be very good, at least 65 points. 75 points for politics, specialized course 120. Even so, your score is still relatively low among the students who participated in the second interview. Several students admitted to Jiaotong University are all over 400. There are 16 people who took part in the second interview of jiaotong university, but only 1 1 people were recruited, so you are likely to be brushed off in the second interview. On the other hand, because there are few professional reference books, your mastery of books must be better than that of Peking University. Your grades should be kept at a distance from others, so you should give priority to professional courses. Because you have little potential to surpass others in English and politics, and others take 65, can you take more than 75?

The third category is schools whose comprehensive level is not as good as that of Shanxi University. It seems that there are about 40 schools and institutions in China with master's degrees in sociology. These schools recruit students on the basis of ethnic division. Relatively easy. If it is a difficult, adventurous and exhausting journey for ordinary students to enter the first type of school, then the second type of school is a relatively self-challenging and self-confident activity. But the risk index is not a little lower but a lot lower. If you ask how many books there are, I can only say that you should look at the reference books of Peking University first. The third category is not the level of Asian, African and Latin American countries. Being admitted to these schools shows that you are a relatively qualified college student. At the same time, there are challenges in English and politics. The basis of entering any school is politics and English. But getting into these schools is not easy. You can get public fees from these schools. Your score has reached the national line.

Second, a little learning experience.

1. Persistence is the key.

If there is a spirit that supports the postgraduate entrance examination, then this spirit is "persistence." Liang Rengong once quoted Ceng Wenzheng's words to inspire everyone: People who sit on this mountain and look at another mountain will accomplish nothing.

Although I started reading professional books in March last year, my real postgraduate entrance examination began in summer. A student who was admitted to please China suggested that she live a life of 1 1 every day, and she did the same. I did it according to that standard, but not as good as her. Because of the time, I only attended a job fair once, and I didn't hold out much hope myself. At that time, my family asked me to find a job quickly, saying that it was because not only did I recruit more people, but my job was also good. In order to find a job, I need to make a resume, and it often takes half a day to attend job fairs. But time waits for no one, so I gave up looking for a job. I have been to all departments except graduate school, philosophy department, economics and management, education, etc. For example, environmental capital, mathematics, accounting, chemistry, biology, and the main building of Shanda. Students who walk beside me after the exam are also racing against time every day. Postgraduate entrance examination pays attention to perseverance. Persistence must not give up halfway. Before entering the examination room, I was still reading sociology books. There is such a thing in my exam. When I took the political exam, I didn't find the test center for the first essay question after I finished the multiple-choice question (I still don't know what to take that question? ) I felt that the atmosphere in the examination room was extremely depressed and almost went out. But I thought I couldn't come in after I went out, so I didn't go out. Also, I was waiting at the platform for the second interview, and I was reciting English. The library is closed on Friday, so you can relax and adjust.

Don't be polite to yourself on the cost of postgraduate entrance examination. Because this postgraduate entrance examination is a matter that determines your fate to a certain extent. Postgraduate entrance examination is different from college entrance examination. If you fail the exam, you can repeat it with peace of mind. The pressure of repeating the postgraduate entrance examination is unimaginable. If I fail to repeat again, will I continue? Don't smoke a penny less of the books you should buy. Imagine that your expenditure for postgraduate entrance examination now reaches 1000 yuan. But what is your monthly salary after graduation? How much can the postgraduate entrance examination cost account for?

3. It is best to form a postgraduate group and postgraduate atmosphere. Everyone can exchange postgraduate entrance examination information and professional course knowledge with each other. My sociology, politics and English all benefit from my classmates to some extent. Meanwhile, we often talk about sociology after dinner.

I would like to congratulate them here. Thank them. Communication is conducive to the consolidation of knowledge and to making up for deficiencies.

4. Review in a planned way. How many chapters do you plan to read every day for a book? After reading, mark the time and times in front of each book with a pencil. So you can plan your study progress. For the professional books of sociology, you should be proficient at this level: after the lights are turned off at night, keep it in your mind like a movie, thinking from the first book to the last, and know how many sections there are in each chapter. What is the content of each section? Familiar and unfamiliar. Professional course books should be planned, when to read the first time, the second time and so on.

Third, their own practices:

I think my English benefits from the "translation" advocated by teacher Li Changyu to some extent. He keeps asking us to be translators. At that time, I was addicted to translation myself, even translating articles with new concepts. I always do translation. Because the requirements of reading comprehension are not as good as translation. You can already translate this sentence, but are you afraid that you don't understand its meaning? Teacher Li also has translators in her lectures, and also talked about translation and reading in real questions over the years. It is good for English to read sociology original works in spare time. For example, there is a translation of Taylor's definition of culture in cultural anthropology in the real questions over the years, and students of anthropology and sociology should also know this word. You can insist on translating sentences. Translation will not and should not take more than 30 minutes.

Politically, Ren Rufen's books should be read carefully. Close to the level of professional textbooks. In addition to reading books, it is to do problems. One or two days before the exam, I read Ren Rufen's four sets of pre-exam questions, some of which were true. I wonder if this will happen again?

Recommended books: (I feel better about these books, but I have done far more than that myself. It costs about 300 to buy books by yourself. )

1. New Concept English Book 3 is moderate. You can also read the fourth book (at that time, Li Changyu suggested reading from March, and there were not many new words in the book. But the sentence structure is quite good)

2. Shi Chunzhen's "English Reading 220" is a little more difficult, so exercise your English ability. If you feel comfortable doing it, then your ability has indeed been mentioned. I have to give you a thumbs up.

3. Ren Rufen's "200 1 Guidance for Review of Political Theory in National Postgraduate Entrance Examination" is one of the "Preface" columns-Essentials Compilation and Test Analysis (Ren Rufen's book should be read very carefully).

4. English ten-year real questions (only real questions can test your true level. To be proficient in what I want to be, I am doing it again and again)

5. "What are 5,000 words" is a booklet, a glossary, and the price is 8 yuan (required to be memorized).

Your own experience is always your own, not others'. You can only feel it if you try. Please do it.
