Let me answer this question. I am an English major, and I have passed Band 8.

In fact, there is no specific requirement for this item in the syllabus for English majors, but there are four explanations in the syllabus for Grade 8:

1. Have a basic understanding of the geography, history, present situation and cultural traditions of major English-speaking countries.

2. Have a preliminary understanding of English literature.

3. Have a preliminary understanding of English linguistics.

4. Examination time 10 minutes.

Judging from the examination syllabus, this part involves three aspects: British and American literature, English linguistics and the general situation of English-speaking countries.

Among them, British and American literature includes English literature and American literature. English literature is mainly divided into six periods:

1. Ancient and medieval English literature (medieval English literature).

2. Renaissance.

3. Neoclassical period (neoclassical period).

4. Roman period (Victorian period).

5. Victoria Period.

6. Modern Period.

American literature is mainly divided into four periods:

1. Relying on literature before and after the revolution.

2. American Romanticism I * * * American Romantic Literature).

3. American realistic literature.

4. American Modernism (American Modernist Literature).

In linguistics, candidates should not only know the essence of language, but also master phonetics, phonetics, morphology, syntax, semantics and linguistics.

About the profile of English-speaking countries, English majors will offer the course of profile of Britain and the United States, but the candidates in the TEM-8 exam need to know the profile of English-speaking countries, not only Britain and the United States, but also some other English-speaking regions, including Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Spark's notebook is very thin, so it is enough to find a simulation. I made 1 mistakes in the exam. I took the exam in 2007 and didn't find it too difficult. There are two questions in the linguistic part, English literature 3-4 and American literature 3-4. You don't have to cast a net all over the sky Typical times, typical people will do.

2. What works should Canadian literature pay attention to?

Morley callaghan was in Paris that summer, northrop Frye's The Great Code, margaret lawrence's The Stone Angel, Stephen Leacock's Sketch of the Sunshine, Malcolm Laurie Maclennan's Watch over the Night, Montgomery Anne of the Green Gables.

Dear heroes who have passed TEM-8, please advise my little girl to prepare for TEM-8.

Generally speaking, the pass rate of TEM 8 is higher than that of TEM 4.

Therefore, as long as those who have passed TEM-4 carefully review and prepare, TEM-8 is basically not a big problem. Band 8 examines listening, reading, humanities, error correction, translation, composition and other aspects, and don't relax in every aspect.

Humanistic knowledge and error correction can buy Spark, which is very convenient to remember. Because our English and American literature and profile books are so thick, we don't know where the focus is.

If you feel that your vocabulary is not enough, you can expand your vocabulary. Reading, listening and translation. You can do real questions every year.

You should also practice your composition more. The composition of TEM-8 is rational and argumentative. You should pay attention to the five-paragraph format of your composition (this is very important). I didn't deliberately remember words when I passed Band 8, but I did some real questions and accumulated some humanistic knowledge.

4. What books are better for English majors of Grade 8? They have a certain knowledge of English literature.

Yes, yes, yes, I just came to Grade 8 this year. Actually, I don't have to worry too much about this exam. If I am prepared, I can get a satisfactory result.

First of all, there is no need to read any famous books for the common sense of literature in TEM-8. *** 10 only needs to read the knowledge of European and American human geography several times, but be careful. Some topics will be more detailed in the exam. I got full marks in humanities this year, because I have a thorough view of humanities. Before the Chinese New Year, I officially started to review humanities, which is also the first among all the big blocks of TEM-8. I bought the spark of humanity, and the shock wave can also be used. I've seen it four times, and it sucks.

Second, the first part of listening: Spark's listening is not difficult, so I bought a shock wave listening book after listening to Spark's listening, and kept listening every day, practicing speed and grasping key words. Although it is generally reported this year that the listening part is the most difficult in the past years, it is still possible to get a basic score.

Third, it is more difficult for me to correct my mistakes. My accuracy is very low, so I didn't expect much before the exam, so I bought a Spark to correct my mistakes, which didn't help much. I still didn't answer many questions correctly in the exam.

Finally, there is translation and composition, and the pressure is not great. If you have enough vocabulary, make good use of phrases and templates, you can basically get good grades.

My biggest feeling in reviewing for TEM-8 is vocabulary. I recite new words every day, and I like to write down things I don't know, so the reading pressure may not be great. Oh, I bought two thick Spark reference books and read this one, which is called standard reading and five topic sources. I'll take the exam when I'm confident.

Finally, what you said about the interview for TEM-8 is actually not an interview. This is the oral and interpretation test for English majors. I also passed this test and will issue a certificate. Don't worry, it's not difficult. Three questions, translate English in listening, then translate it into Chinese, and finally speak for 5 minutes. In this way, I hope I can help you get good grades in the exam. Well, that's interesting.
