It's been many days since the results came out, and my hands are a little itchy when I see so many students around me writing their own experience stickers. Although I don't know if many people will see it, it is an account of myself. Long warning ahead! ! ! These are all typed by me word by word! !

This article is not so much an experience post as a summary of my experience in the past year. At the same time, it can also provide some reference for junior students who want to take the foreign language major in university of international business and economics in the future.

Let me talk about my grades and personal situation first. The results of the preliminary examination are: total score 422, politics 79, French as a second language 82, English language practice 125, linguistics and applied linguistics professional foundation 136. In fact, my grades are not very high, but I am very, very satisfied.

A 985-pair first-class B college English major in the north has a grade point of about 3.65, ranking 40th in the grade. I passed TEM-4, almost passed TEM-3 translation, and only passed one subject in the teacher qualification certificate (what a pity). I always feel that I can't take so many exams, so isn't it more difficult to take the postgraduate entrance examination? The day before the results of postgraduate entrance examination came out, I dreamed that I got more than 200 points, one of which was 0, which scared me to death, but the actual situation was still very unexpected. Ahem, after all these miscellaneous things, let's get down to business.

One: Choose a school

From April of 20, we began to choose schools, collected all kinds of information on the Internet and asked our professional teachers. I saw Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Dalian University of Technology, Northeastern University, Nankai University, Northeast Normal University and so on. Later, I felt that I didn't want to go to a city too far away. I have lived in the north and will definitely settle in the north in the future. I don't want to go to a big city like Beijing After reading it, I found that Tianjin is actually very good, so I set the target institution in Nankai. Yes, I'm too confident. I also bought an online course organized by my senior sister from Nankai University, and studied intermittently for some time. Until September, Nankai took out the enrollment index. Except for places for research and cooperation with foreign schools, there are only three places left in the unified examination. I really feel that my ability is insufficient, and the competition in Nankai is too strong. After several days' consideration, I collected information and decided to change schools. University of international business and economics added several places a few years ago, and university of international business and economics itself is a very strong school, so it finally transferred to university of international business and economics.

What I want to say is, you must check the relevant information of the school, such as the enrollment quota, score line and retest ratio in previous years, which can be found in China Graduate Admissions Network and official website. The graduate students of a school should finally determine the school, preferably the one you can get into, to stimulate your morale and not to change easily after determining a good school.

Two: learning

I searched the Internet for the graduate experience of foreign linguistics and applied linguistics in university of international business and economics, but I couldn't find the contact information of the seniors and seniors admitted in previous years, and official website didn't give me a bibliography. Finally, I saw an experience post on the Internet, and I was still selling classes. I envy seeing others have the help of their immediate seniors and sisters, but how can I discourage them? So I began to explore my own review.

(1) Let's talk about politics first. There are too many related experience posts on the online political nanny level, which will definitely be more detailed than mine, so I will briefly talk about it. For myself, I only started to watch Xu Tao's class in the summer vacation (the political teacher, Xu Tao or my sister's leg is teacher Lu Yufeng, so it's very powerful to choose anyone to follow, and the method is also very good), and I went through the whole process according to his core test cases, including basic courses and intensive classes.

Xiao Xiurong can follow the big 1000 question after reading it. I didn't have enough time then. 1000 has only been brushed once, and it's time to do Xiao Xiurong's eight sets of papers.

Read eight sets of multiple-choice questions carefully, have time to recite big questions, and have no time to wait for four sets of papers. Xiao Xiurong's four sets of volumes must be memorized, must be memorized in time, and must be memorized. From the major political papers of 2 1, we can see how powerful Mr. Xiao Xiurong is. You don't need to buy many courses later, plus the QQ group of the school, some official WeChat accounts for postgraduate entrance examination, or various online sharing channels, so don't worry. We must pay attention to political multiple-choice questions, and everyone's scores on big questions will not be too bad. I just suffer from multiple-choice questions. There is a lot of politics this year, and my grades are not so good.

Reference book: Xiao Xiurong 1000, eight volumes and four volumes, concise and concise.

Xu Tao Xiao Huangshu, the core test case

(2) French as a second foreign language. I choose French as my second foreign language. University of international business and economics's French topic is not too difficult to write, but I can't tell the tense. I may lose a lot of points on the topic of correcting tenses. You can take CET-4 and prepare together, but you don't have to take the French listening test for the postgraduate entrance examination. I used the new college French 123, which I learned in our school. At that time, I was preparing for French Band 4 in September (the epidemic was postponed and I had to take the exam in June). The knowledge points of these books can be understood, and it is appropriate to pass the French Band 4. After the exam, I'm going to take a postgraduate entrance examination in French. I read the first and second volumes of the concise French course, as well as the online courses provided by Hujiang. You can call me if you need online courses, hahaha.

With the previous foundation, you can read faster. It is enough to read lesson 42 of the concise French course. After class, all the questions have been finished, and there is basically no need to prepare anything else. By the way, to understand the yin and yang of verbs, the word inversion must be confusing at first. Recite more words, and you will find the rule slowly. Don't be afraid of trouble. When you meet a verb, think about its direct present tense, future tense, incomplete past tense, compound past tense and so on.

Reference book: New University French 123,

Or concise French course, Hujiang. com course (the basic contents of these two books are similar. If you can understand one thoroughly, it will be no problem. I think the concise French course is because many universities split it into reference books.

(3) Basic English. Basic English should be reviewed for TEM-8. You can read, translate and write a foreign language by buying Spark or Huayan. There is no doubt that words must be memorized. Basic English should be prepared early. If grammar is not good, go online to find a grammar class, and consolidate it early to facilitate the future! If you have time to practice calligraphy, ask your professional teacher to help you correct your composition, and you will be done with the cheek! University of international business and economics took two 300-word propositional compositions this year. If you can't remember the topic clearly, aim at the pros and cons of a certain point of view, ask personal choices, find model essays on related composition topics, and study their writing ideas. After reading Brother Five's Breakthrough Translation in 12 Days, Mr. Brother Five said it was not bad, and the content was suitable for us. Teacher Han Gang's translation course 186 is slightly more difficult. I suggested watching Brother Five's course, but I didn't finish it at that time. University of international business and economics also took some multiple-choice questions and definition questions related to British and American culture and linguistics in basic English, which are relatively basic, because serious content is reserved for professional English!

(4) Professional English, and finally writing it is a headache for everyone. Although all the online courses I bought at that time were bought from my senior sister in Nankai, I later found that they were basically used. University of international business and economics doesn't give a bibliography, and there are only a few books that Goose can test, all of which are the same. Mastering the basic bibliography is not much different. University of international business and economics's comprehensive English design consists of three parts: British and American culture, linguistics and translation.

I read the school books in the early stage of British and American literature. Because the school has related courses, it didn't take long. After reading the book, I began to watch online classes. English literature includes Selected Readings of English Literature by Wang Shouren and A Brief History of English Literature by Liu Bingshan.

American literature includes Chang's A Brief History of American Literature and Selected Readings of American Literature. But these books are all high-frequency test sites and real questions over the years compiled by the publishing house, so they are considered as the second round of review.

The second round of review is over, and there is still a month or so before the postgraduate entrance examination. I read the books combed and refined by British and American literature test sites, recited the key contents and strengthened my memory. It is almost impossible to remember everything word for word. We don't have that much time. We can only write down the main idea of the answer and the main points of the answer, and then add them in the examination room. Finally, you can write out all the knowledge you can access. Enough answer sheets, and we're done!

Linguistics I read Hu Zhuanglin's linguistics courses and online courses, but I read them very slowly. After reading it, I went to see a concise linguistics course. I don't have any related books, only videos of online classes. I just compared Hu Zhuanglin's book with Spark's linguistics teaching reference, added something superfluous, and considered it twice. The later stage is the linguistic focus summarized by the senior sister who bought it before reciting the definition, big questions and big questions. In short, at the end of the day, I spent half my time in the corridor.

Another test site is translation theory and general situation of Britain and America, which is related to British and American culture. I didn't spend much time on this. British and American culture has just read the first and second volumes of An Introduction to Society and Culture in English-speaking Countries, which we studied in the British and American survey class at that time. It won't take much time to read it once, but you should read it carefully, or you will forget the existence of this subject when you review it later.

In terms of translation theory, we can read some books related to translation theory, such as Xie Tianzhen's Introduction to Contemporary Foreign Translation Theory, Liao's Exploration of Contemporary Western Translation Theory, and Feng Qinghua's Applied Translation Course. Of course, you must answer questions in English, but you must never read only Chinese translation theory.

Well, that's all I can think of for now. I have to say that the course I bought at that time was still very worthwhile and really comprehensive. The only problem is that I don't have enough review time. what can I do? I can only blame myself.

Bibliography: the kind with the title on it, I'm really too lazy to type (hee hee).

PS: Anyone who needs these books and online courses can come to me. English and American literature, foreign linguistics and applied linguistics can all be used, because the content of the initial test is the same, and I want to get my blood back. After all, the postgraduate entrance examination costs a lot of money.

Three: second interview

Let's talk briefly about the second interview. Since we can enter the second interview, it shows that our previous efforts in the preliminary examination stage are valuable and we will continue to work hard when preparing for the second interview. At that time, affected by the epidemic, the second interview of Shanghai University was also conducted online. Our second interview was postponed that year, and none of us could go back to school. Everyone is preparing for the second interview at home, which is very stressful. There are many temptations to study at home, but no matter how big the temptation is, it is more fascinating than the joy brought by the admission notice. If you take this into consideration, you must study harder. The re-examination of Shanghai University includes three aspects: comprehensive English and major, and the major is English-Chinese translation. At this time, the translation we did in the initial stage came in handy, but I didn't bring it home during the winter vacation. But the method is always more difficult. I comforted myself that I could buy a nice new book again. My method is to prepare an English-Chinese translation book by following the method of preliminary examination. I turn over the materials first every day. At this time, I will find that some words have not been translated for nearly two months and are unfamiliar. Be patient and just keep conquering. After checking the results, my entertainment activities are basically memorizing my own knowledge points in the room. You should also be confident in the second interview. At that time, the teacher of your undergraduate school met you, or you can imagine yourself as a student of that school. Don't be too nervous, it will affect your score.

Fourth, summary.

Postgraduate entrance examination is a very testing process. Unlike the college entrance examination, no teacher came to this course. We can only rely on our own efforts and supervise ourselves. Some people say that you can beat many people until the end of the postgraduate entrance examination. That's true. Some people who take the postgraduate entrance examination may fail to learn in 10 or10/month, and may find a good job and then give up the postgraduate entrance examination. There are many situations. If you really want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, please strengthen your confidence and stick to it. It is very, very important that you don't collapse, no matter what others have learned. It's none of your business if someone else brushes the topic five, six, seven, eight times. As long as they follow their own plan step by step, they like whatever they do. If you are tired of studying and feel too nervous, just relax yourself for half a day, eat delicious food, sleep more, watch variety shows and whatever. This is a small reward you deserve for studying for so long, but don't feel guilty. Don't give up, whether you are a student of 9852 1 1 or two colleges, as long as you persist in studying hard and don't give up, you will definitely get good grades! Believe that the world is still beautiful! Come on, Ollie, it's over! Everyone will have a bright future! ! ! ! !
