How to learn English in graduate school? Experience sharing of postgraduate English learning
1, expanding English vocabulary In the postgraduate English learning stage, English vocabulary is still very important. Whether reading English literature, listening to English or translating English academic papers, you need to have enough vocabulary, and the richer the vocabulary, the better. Just like we write Chinese articles, the same meaning has different expressions. Choosing the most suitable one can make the article icing on the cake. When writing English articles, different expressions can produce different effects. Rich vocabulary is the basis for you to master different expressions. So graduate students need to enlarge their English vocabulary. 2. Read more books and broaden your horizons. Graduate students must watch and listen more and broaden their horizons. Reading a lot is very beneficial to English learning. It not only broadens people's horizons, but also cultivates their English thinking and English language sense. At present, the common problem of many students is that they read too little English, so whether speaking or writing, there is always a limitation that can only be overcome by reading a lot. 3. Adhere to the original English materials. How do graduate students learn English? In the postgraduate stage, the corresponding standards of English learning should also be improved. Stop reading English articles and published English books written by China people and stick to the original English materials. Why do you say that? Because, influenced by the traditional thinking of China people, you can easily understand the meaning of many English articles written by China people, even if there are unknown words, while articles written by foreigners may not be able to understand the meaning of the articles even if you can know all the words. The biggest reason for this phenomenon is the difference of cultural background. Therefore, in order to better cultivate one's sense of English language and prevent oneself from being influenced by China's thinking, one should insist on using the original English materials. Even if you don't understand at first, you should stick to it slowly. When you get used to the way foreigners think, you will understand. 4, listen to more and listen to more miscellaneous listening must be adhered to for a long time, fishing for three days and drying the net for two days will not have any effect at all. In the postgraduate stage, to improve English listening level, we should not only listen more, but also listen to miscellaneous things. That is to say, you should not choose a subject in English listening, but listen to different topics and different contents, so that your listening level can be improved quickly. Many people like to listen to a topic when practicing listening. For example, I like listening to current political news, so I have been listening to current political news for a long time. It's okay to listen to the current political news, but I may not understand the entertainment news. This is the limitation of listening to a topic. Making the content of listening more complicated can enrich the content of listening training and be closer to the reality of English life. 5. Read more professional English documents. In the postgraduate stage, it is not recommended that you learn English by watching American TV dramas and movies. However, if it is really boring, it is another matter. Postgraduate stage involves a lot of specialized English, and watching American TV plays can learn at most some basic spoken English. At this stage, it is a waste of time to stay in the study of basic English. Therefore, everyone should pay due attention to the key points of English learning and read more professional English documents. Reading more English documents can greatly improve your English reading, writing, translation ability and vocabulary, and you can also get a lot of professional information, which is helpful for your study and research. Moreover, if you want to publish SCI, you can first look at how others wrote it. 6, practice the basic skills of translation When it comes to publishing SCI, you have to mention the translation of postgraduate English learning. Relatively speaking, English learning for postgraduate entrance examination pays more attention to professionalism, which is particularly obvious in translation. Publishing English academic papers requires not only the quality of the articles, but also the language of writing to meet the requirements of international magazines. Therefore, in the usual learning process, we should also practice the basic skills of translation appropriately. In the process of reading English documents, you can do some English-Chinese translation training at will, and then close the book to do English-Chinese translation training, which is also a good way to practice translation skills.
