First, about choosing schools.
The winter vacation of junior year decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination. After I decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination, the next step was to choose the postgraduate major. Because of my major, I am more interested in news and new media, so I decided to major in news communication, which is a new biography. Finally, the postgraduate school was decided. I'm from Sichuan, and I'm going back to Chengdu for development after graduation, so I finally chose 985 Sichuan University. In fact, many people find it difficult to choose a school, but it's really not that difficult. My own opinion is that if you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, you must go to the best place in the area you want to go, because the resources, environment and experience there must be different from other schools. Since everyone has spent the same amount of time and energy, why not give yourself the best ~ but don't give up or change easily if you choose! Of course, many people will advise you not to apply for such a good school during the postgraduate entrance examination. Graduate students just need to get a degree certificate. But you must not let this kind of voice interfere with yourself, and prove to them with your own actions and achievements that this is the best response. Generally speaking, when choosing a school, you can search the annual enrollment ratio, score line, tuition fee, scholarship system and even the previous real questions. Looking at the real questions, you can sometimes predict whether you can master the relevant knowledge. In recent years, the number of applicants in Sichuan University is increasing, and the admission ratio is also on the rise. However, in this fierce competition, I wonder if the number of applicants will change this year. This year's master's retest score rose directly to 397, which is quite scary. Postgraduate entrance examination is difficult, but this year's topic is still relatively practical. Generally speaking, the foundation is flexible. As long as you study solid and standardized at ordinary times, it should be no problem.
Second, about specialized courses.
There are many reference books for postgraduate entrance examination in Sichuan University, which can be found in official website, or many colleges and universities in the official WeChat account will have reference books. The initial trial of new biography is mainly divided into two parts: theory and business. Theories include communication theory, news theory, Chinese news history and foreign news history; This business is mainly about writing, editing and evaluating policies. Here is a summary of the bibliography for everyone:
Theoretical part:
① General Theory of Mass Communication, Li Ling, Sichuan University Press.
② Communication Course, Guo, Renmin University of China Press.
③ Introduction to Journalism, Li Liangrong, Fudan University Press.
④ Introduction to Network Communication, 4th edition, Peng Lan, Renmin University of China Press (it must be noted that it is 4th edition).
⑤ The History of China Journalism and Communication Fang Hanqi, Renmin University of China Press.
Business part:
(1) the news interview and writing course two volumes, Cao Hui, Sichuan University Press.
② News Editor, Cai Wen, Renmin University of China Press.
③ Network News Editor, Jiang Xiaoli, Higher Education Press.
(4) The Course of News Review, Ma Shaohua, Higher Education Press.
⑤ Introduction to Radio and Television, Ouyang Hongsheng, Sichuan University Press.
In fact, it is not easy to prepare for the newly introduced specialized courses. The preparation of theory, business and history requires recitation, practice and understanding, and even requires you to have your own unique opinions and keep abreast of the trends and hot spots in the academic field.
Basis:
This part is learning books. When reviewing endorsements, I suggest dividing them into communication, journalism, semiotics and other modules, which are not easy to be confused. Reading reference books for the first time is the process of laying the foundation, and you may be confused for the first time. However, as you read more and more books, the theories in the books gradually begin to understand, which is why you can see your meaning even after reading it for a hundred times. Everyone must take notes in this part and comb it into a framework. It is best to find the review point accurately in the follow-up.
Pragmatic:
Practically speaking, the two most important sections are comments and news, so you should practice writing before the exam, including the types of business questions that appear in the real questions of Sichuan University, such as writing Weibo news and interview outline. Just follow the real question. When practicing writing, you can first watch the People's Daily and other professional media to imitate writing. Time is tight in the examination room, so it is best to form your own examination template.
Finally, I would like to remind you that the thesis may be a point that people often ignore, but in fact it is really important. In particular, many of the postgraduate entrance examination topics of Sichuan University are papers from teachers of Sichuan University, so we must pay attention to the papers. At that time, I mainly paid attention to some academic cows and academic journals, such as journalists, news writing, journalism and so on. Some people may worry about reading too many papers. This is to pay attention to the methods and skills of reading papers. Of course, we can't read all the newspapers. After all, we don't have that much time, so before reading the paper, we should skim it and judge whether the question is important or not. Skip what's not important, record and query what's important, and choose the test papers of important test sites and those that have not been touched before to focus on reading. The purpose of this paper is, firstly, to understand the hot topics in the industry and accumulate ideas, cases and sentences for answering questions; Secondly, understand the structure of the paper and prepare for the discussion. I wasted a lot of time when I first came into contact with the thesis. I spent almost half an hour, slowly reading a paper word by word, and taking a lot of notes. This seems serious, but in fact it is inefficient. To put it bluntly, it is futile to move yourself.
Hot spots:
For the new biography, this major is completely different from other postgraduate entrance examinations that simply endorse without touching the mobile phone. The new biography major is closely related to the acquisition of new information, and all kinds of hot spots, news information and resources are very useful information for the new postgraduate entrance examination. Therefore, it is very necessary to collect monthly hot information. The classification of hotspots is mainly news hotspots and industry hotspots. News hotspots: There are usually weekly or monthly hotspots and extended knowledge points. Just watch more CCTV news and People's Daily Online. Industry hotspots: generally obtained from published new industry regulations and papers. It should also be noted that the accumulation of hot spots is not simply copying, but deep thinking and extension, which may be difficult in the early stage, but such a habit must be formed. Hot spots must be accumulated by themselves. Although some institutions will integrate hot spots later, the effect of their own finishing is completely different from others.
True question:
The real question is an important threshold to understand the direction of the school test center. Analyzing the real questions can help to divide the key points, work hard in the right direction and achieve efficiency. At first, I didn't know how to discuss the topic at all. Later, I enrolled in the postgraduate study class. After training in real questions, it was really effective. Discussion, my method is, theory+explanation+case. The theory is completely understandable. As long as the explanation makes sense, cases need to be accumulated. The official account of WeChat WeChat is the most important artifact of case accumulation. Note that Sichuan University especially likes case questions.
About English:
Second, English.
English is the earliest subject I prepared, because I didn't know what to learn when I started learning English. I got 559 and 470 in CET-4 and CET-6, respectively. I have a general English foundation and don't exclude English learning.
Words: Many people recommend love words and little red books, but I personally think it is enough to use little red secretary words, because little red books are really thick, and you will encounter many words that you can't do when you do real questions, so finish a set of real questions and sort out a word, which will increase your vocabulary a lot. Moreover, after all, everyone's foundation and ability are different, and the amount of words mastered is different, so that they can better adapt to their own recitation, and they will find that many words in real questions appear very frequently, which will make them more impressed.
Reading experience: I bought Zhang Jian's Yellow Book (plus the English reading explanation video of Tang Chi and the English translation explanation video of Tang Jing), and I can start reading the real questions in early July. I suggest reading the topic first (but don't look at the options below the topic, too much memory is easy to confuse with the original text), then reading the article with questions, and it is easier to find the problem setting point when you see the relevant content. After reading an article, don't rush to get an answer, then read the article intensively, look at the topic you just didn't grasp, and finally look at the answer and translation. All the right and wrong options should be found in the original text to find out why they are right or wrong. I took English II, but I also read English I (for several years, the scarcity of English made me doubt my life). I began to brush the whole set of reading in September, that is, I did four articles at a time, and gradually improved the speed of reading questions. Be sure to do the real questions! ! !
Writing experience: I wrote my composition because I knew that many people were reciting Wang Jiangtao's composition book, so I went to Weibo to collect some composition templates shared by bloggers who shared the postgraduate entrance examination materials. As a result, I didn't sum up my own template, so my composition didn't play well here, so everyone must learn a lesson, make preparations early, accumulate more words and phrases and form their own template.
About politics:
When you look at the experience post, it is generally said that politics accounts for a small proportion in the postgraduate entrance examination, but it is aimed at engineering majors. Political scores of engineering majors are generally low, but for humanities and social sciences majors such as new biographies, the requirements are actually higher, generally above 60. Although political scores are easy to get, high scores are difficult to get. So pay attention to politics. It's really a pity that many candidates who have taken the exam recently stopped the re-examination for political reasons. For politics, multiple-choice questions are as important as the reading part in English, especially choosing one more point. Politics usually begins in June and July, so it is right for everyone to review closely with Xiao Da's book publishing time. From June, I will read a chapter every day, and then do the corresponding 1000 questions.
After reading it for the first time, especially the part about Ma Yuan, I really didn't understand it at all like a fool. The knowledge points are all messed up, and the second brush is concise 1000. This time is much faster than the first time, and it is better to understand with Xiao Da's video class. The big analysis questions can't open the gap, everyone's scores are similar, and the gap lies in the multiple-choice questions! ! ! Therefore, some subdivided knowledge points and confusing points must be clearly remembered. Analysis questions, directly recited Xiao Da's eight sets of volumes and four sets of volumes, four sets of volumes must be recited, and there is no reason. Xiao didn't gamble much this year, and he also gambled a small part. I also wrote all the papers with four sets of papers on my back and pieced together the materials.
Re-examination preparation experience:
I thought I would try my best to pass the second interview, but this year's score of 397400+ is not an advantage at all, so the second interview must not be slack. There is no English test in the second interview of Sichuan University, mainly depending on the teacher's mood. For example, during the interview, the teacher suddenly wanted to speak English, which was very helpless. Therefore, we should be prepared for insurance, at least some basic English questions such as self-introduction, hometown food and reasons for choosing a school should be prepared.
Professional courses review theories first, and then practice oral expression in combination with current events. The logic of answering questions is very important, so you should pay attention to it every time you practice. In addition, Sichuan University requires a research idea when submitting the re-examination materials, so you can search the teacher's research field, read more papers published by the teacher in recent years, and use them in the re-examination, talk about research ideas and answer corresponding questions. The last point is to be confident. Since you can enter the second interview, it shows that you are good enough and qualified. I always believe that this is a two-way choice.
Fourth, the final conclusion
In the process of preparing for the exam, I will definitely be influenced by various external influences. For example, I often hear friends say how many times I recite it, which makes me anxious, or my roommate always gets up earlier than me, which makes me under great pressure. If you are also troubled by these problems, I want to say that I remember others quickly. Get up early, I sleep for half an hour and study refreshed. Endorsement is not the number of times but the effect, and learning is not the length of time but the efficiency. Follow your own pace, make your own progress, and do what you should do at each stage. There is no shortcut to learning, but the learning methods are cost-effective, and the cost-effective method is the so-called "shortcut". For myself, the framework and emphasis of my previous reference books are all stupid methods, which wastes the time I could have read more reference books, so that I can adjust them in time during the summer vacation and catch up with the progress. For another example, endorsement is an activity that requires high concentration. Late tired, will be empty, in a daze. If you don't recite a few words in the morning, I think you should stop memorizing them and learn something you can. Rote memorization is also a waste of time. It's better to wait until the state is good. Postgraduate entrance examination is really a process of testing mentality. You often feel that you have wasted your time and have no effect. When doing problems, the speed is slow and the effect is poor. You will think that you have finished the exam and don't need it. If you have any feelings or complaints, you can vent them with friends, relatives and even friends. Who knows if you can make it to the end? You can't even say that yourself You are already very smart, so as long as you have perseverance and do your best, you will be the last one to land!
