About choosing a school:
Professional choice. No matter whether you pass the exam or not, you need to have a certain understanding of your major and choose your major direction according to your research interest and employment orientation. A direct way is to read professional-related books and papers, or listen to related online lectures and listen to the experience of people who have been there (teachers, peers, social platforms, etc.). At first, I gave priority to external applications that were closer to what I learned. Coincidentally, when I was looking up papers, I accidentally came across the papers of the newly established biography major, and I was shocked by the high exchange between disciplines. I was immediately blessed and began to think about the possibility of applying for other majors. Secondly, from my personal experience, the new biography is very traceable and has many research directions that I am interested in. For me, the internal relationship between language and communication is also quite clear and highly interdisciplinary. Third, the new biography is all-encompassing and can fully satisfy my restless desire to explore, so I decided to take the exam.
School choice. You can consider the city you want to develop, the resources and professional strength of the school platform, and the difficulty of obtaining the exam. Detailed information such as research direction, curriculum, enrollment, and outline of real questions can be found on the official website (the website of research/department) of the school, and you can study whether it is suitable for you. I was thinking about my future development in the Pearl River Delta, and the new biography of Jinan University has a good reputation in this area, strong academic strength (A- in the fourth round of academic evaluation), and it is close to home, so I quickly finalized Jinan University.
About the initial test:
Political part:
Don't start political review too late, don't spend too much time and don't underestimate it.
I began to study politics in May and June, bought Xiao Xiurong's textbooks, watched Xu Tao's videos and practiced with 1000 questions. The endorsement doesn't need to start too early. I only carried Xiao Si on my back, and participated in some charity belts for my leg sister. In fact, just reciting Xiao Si is enough.
As for reciting, I don't recite the answers. I can find some leaders with backs. Their thinking can save your own review time and make you recite easily. This method makes my examination room full of answer sheets.
In addition, after the initial test, I feel that the political corpus can be used to answer the new biography, especially the title of the new biography of Jinan University is very orthodox. Writing the beginning and the end in combination with current politics can add a lot of color to the answer and reflect my correct values.
Therefore, politics should not be underestimated, especially in such fierce competition, and every subject must ensure the standard. Learning politics should make comprehensive use of the information of different teachers, because each teacher has his own strengths.
Xiao Da's essay, Xu Tao's online class, Sister Leg's problem-solving skills and the analysis of multiple-choice questions with empty cards and backs are the combinations I summed up.
English part:
My English is very poor, and I belong to the flying type with low scores in CET-4 and CET-6. I can't say that my poor grades in college English have no credit. Deeply aware of this, I began to review English very early:
1, word
Memorize the words from beginning to end, but I have probably read the words twice. Don't imitate me! As for the word book, this is actually casual, some say green book, some say red book, depending on personal preferences, one book is enough. Ps: I have recommended love before. Personally, I think the text of this book is incomplete, the text inside is relatively simple, and the video lesson is too time-consuming, which is not good. But this is just my personal feeling, and some students still think it's good. I use the red book.
Be sure to recite it the first time, and then review it, because you will forget it while remembering. Of course, this is normal. Don't be too nervous. Just recite it. hahaha. In addition, the efficiency of memorizing words in real questions is the best. I basically remember the words in the real questions. I think it is basic and important for the postgraduate entrance examination to understand the repeated words in the real questions. Doing the real problem the first time will make more mistakes. Don't worry, everyone does. Write down the words you can't know in the real question, copy them in your notebook, and then look up your meaning. Read and recite every day when you have time. In short, in addition to the back or back, Huai Ting!
Step 2 read
He who gets readers gets the world! There are not many real questions in English, so let's start with English. How many times do you do the reading in Ying Ying's real question, and choose Zhang Jian or Ding to analyze it? Look at personal preferences, counseling books are external factors, and the key is yourself. I used a sword. I quite like Zhang Jian, so I won't be wordy. Reading is skillful.
For example, if you don't understand long and difficult sentences, review them well, and try to understand every long and difficult sentence you don't understand. Reading is nothing more than asking the author's attitude, examples, details and so on. You can sum up the characteristics of where the answer to each question is. For example, the answer to the example is basically not in the example. Basically in context, and so on. Do more and you'll know.
He Kaiwen said that when doing the second and third real questions, we should analyze the relationship between sentences and paragraphs. We should analyze English when taking the English test, and analyze English when taking the English test. Some students have also done full-text translation. I don't think it is necessary to translate all of them. You can choose one or two articles to translate a set of real questions, or just translate the paragraph that you find difficult.
The real question must be done well. Think about it more. What's wrong? Why do you choose this? Don't think about the answer. Think for yourself. Do it a few times more. Once English is finished, English II will be easier.
3. New types of problems
Regarding the new question type, English 2 is relatively simple, try to get full marks! In translation, English is full-text translation. If you do full-text translation when reading real questions, it is a good practice to improve your translation ability. It doesn't matter without full-text translation. English II translation is quite simple. You should summarize a template yourself before the exam, and then memorize it. I actually recited two omnipotent sentences before the exam.
4. gestalt
Finally, talk about cloze. Some people think that English cloze can no longer be used, because it is only a few points at most, and it can't be improved much. However, it is possible to do the real questions well and get high marks in English II which is less difficult. My basic cloze in the later period is 7-8. Sometimes you can get 9 points, so you definitely have enough time to take an English test. Don't just squeeze in time to read.
Specialized courses 1:
First, the history of news communication
Before the summer vacation, I mainly read related textbooks, the most common of which is Li Liangrong's Introduction to Journalism.
Introduction to Guo Communication
Liu Hailong's Theory of Mass Communication: Paradigm and School
Peng Lan's Introduction to Network Communication
I put the list of Jinan University's new postgraduate entrance examination books circulating on the Internet at the end for your reference.
Read the textbook from the shallow to the deep, don't take notes and comments for the first time, and understand the contents of the book as a whole; Start the second intensive reading, draw key points in the book, and make clear what you don't understand; It's the third summer vacation. You have enough time to organize the framework and notes and turn the contents of the book into your own.
In particular, communication, as a discipline with great knowledge span, is particularly important in framework integration. After careful arrangement in the early stage, there will be more time to pay attention to theoretical updating and practical operation in the later stage. For example, academic circles are constantly discussing whether some classic communication theories are still applicable.
If you want to master the theoretical knowledge better and cultivate the thinking ability of the subject, you can start with hot issues and use the knowledge points you have learned to think. Although it is a bit rigid, it is still very useful for students who have no new thinking. For details, please refer to the previous hotspot analysis and monthly hotspot event handbook.
Combined with the review progress of public courses, you can generally start reciting in 10 with the previously compiled frames and notes. Of course, some students will choose to buy notes to reduce their workload, which is also feasible, but it is best not to buy them and recite them directly. "Domesticate" the bought notes to make them conform to your thinking logic and be more efficient.
I heard that some colleges and universities don't take the news history exam, but the new biography of Jinan University is an investigation, with a high proportion, which still needs to be reviewed. In fact, there is little difference in the textbooks of journalism history. Except for special requirements, the versions of famous teachers on the market are acceptable.
The reference book of Jinan University is Ding Ganlin's History of Chinese Journalism.
Zhi Tingrong's History of Foreign News Communication
Although I actually read the History of Journalism and Communication in China and the History of Foreign Journalism and Communication in Cheng during my postgraduate entrance examination.
The review track of Chinese and foreign news history is similar to the theory of journalism and communication, but Chinese and foreign news history requires you to have a clear knowledge context, which can connect scattered knowledge points in series and read the book thinner and thinner.
It is also suggested that endorsement should be started in 10, which is not conducive to the formation of knowledge system. At the same time, from the middle of 1 1 month to1February, special review will be conducted in combination with hot spots. For example, last year was the 200th anniversary of Engels' birth, so there will be a special review of Engels' views.
Second, the news dissemination business.
Practice review is mainly divided into three steps.
Step one, read a book. The newly published bibliography of Jinan University is Ding's Course of News Review and News Editing.
Lin's Journalism
Xue's Contemporary News Writing
Of course, I am also embarrassed, because I put most of my energy into the review of news communication theory and news history in the early stage. I didn't read any of these books, and my practical results were relatively bleak in the end. I suggest going to see it if you have time.
The second step is practice, which I think is the most important step in practice. Practice mainly focuses on interview outline, news writing, report planning, news commentary and so on. I'm not sure about other universities, but news writing in Jinan University is a must. I got a master's degree in news commentary and an interview outline last year.
For practice, it is not enough to just read textbooks, but also need a lot of practice to correct misunderstandings in writing. The way to practice is to consider reporting to the news business practice class in the future, or to find help from some seniors who have already landed, or to communicate with friends who have studied. But you must practice early! Practice more! The third step is case accumulation. 1 1 At the end of the month and1February, many official WeChat accounts will launch some news hotspots. You can make good use of the official WeChat account, read more about hot events, and then internalize them into your own things. Maybe you can use them in the exam?
In fact, in recent years, the proportion of advertising and radio and television topics in Jinan University's new biography has been rising. In addition, the optional range of answering questions has changed from 5 to 3 to 4 to 3. In any case, you are bound to meet the topic of advertising or broadcasting, so you should be prepared. Some universities still take the public relations exam, but Jinan University doesn't seem to have it, and I didn't review the subject of public relations at that time. In fact, I didn't pay enough attention to advertising and radio and television, mainly because I started preparing late and the proportion of reviewing other contents was also rising, so I only listened to the courses on advertising and radio and television given by my seniors and read this part of my notes before going to the exam. Of course, I regret it now. After all, according to my review time, I should be able to prepare well. So I want to remind everyone to start as soon as possible, and then review in a planned way through heteronomy.
About the second interview:
Because I was busy with the final exam and opening questions in January, I was a little slack, and the time I could prepare was very short, so my friends, try to keep preparing for the exam after the initial exam, so as not to come back after playing for too long. There is still no written test in the second interview this year, and the interview is divided into two aspects: comprehensive and professional, each accounting for 100. The comprehensive aspect is English self-introduction and teacher's random throwing questions, and the professional aspect is answering questions. I was lucky enough to get the question about the direction I wanted to apply for. Although the answer is not very good, I am too young to be a teacher, but at least the smile on my face can hold up. I feel that the interview time this year is particularly short. After asking three questions or so, I will move on to the next one. The teacher didn't ask any questions about my resume and portfolio (crying), and I couldn't bear to leave after writing my whole face.
Some preparation experience:
Record your answers. Make the special notes compiled during the initial test into interview questions, record the answers, and train the framework consciousness of face-to-face answering, as well as the clarity, fluency and speed of answering questions. Thematic notes are perfected by absorbing cutting-edge articles and new hot events from time to time. In addition to taking notes, you should also master your personal experience (submitted resume and portfolio) and standard questions that have appeared in the past. It is difficult for me to output my thoughts by speaking. At first, I must have stuttered and my mind was blank, but the more I practice, the more I can output without making a fool of myself.
Practice talking to the camera more. You can record the exercises on video. I have a natural fear of cameras, but I can't help it. I have to practice so that I won't be afraid of the camera every day. Just think of the camera as the emptiness I look at when I endorse it. In addition to overcoming the fear of the camera, you should also observe your posture and expression, and whether you habitually open your eyes when answering questions. If you are afraid to see the teacher nervous when you go on stage, you can print out the teacher's photo and put it under the camera.
If you have time, try to read one or two books that are profound or related to the research direction. Many teachers like to ask questions during the interview, which is also conducive to expanding their knowledge. It is better to be prepared to study ideas. This question is comprehensive, but I can't say why, because I just started to "imagine" and because it is the first interview, I seem to be a little nervous. My suggestion is that if you are not completely sure about the problem, don't make it up, just say your understanding of the problem.
Write it at the end
I hope everyone will stay relaxed during the postgraduate entrance examination and don't have to be nervous all day. At the moment of self-doubt and giving up, think about your original intention and vision for the future. Even if you are stuck in the mire at present, one day you will break out of the ground and walk towards the sunshine.
I hope that you will not forget your initial intention in preparing for the exam, live up to your energy, maintain a steady state of mind and realize your ideals!
