(1) Analysis of the exam situation As freshmen, we have enough time to prepare for the exam, so we can learn the basic information and exam characteristics of junior college students' English exam first. First, define the examination time. College students' English test and college entrance examination are on the same day, that is, June 7, and the specific time is 9: 00 am to 1 1 half past one; Second, clarify the specific requirements of the exam. The overall difficulty of college English test is less than CET-4, and college English makes many college students complain every year because of its flexible questions, but our test is less than CET-4, so don't worry too much.
Secondly, the vocabulary requirement of NMET English is 3,800 to 4,000 words, which probably contains 1500 basic vocabulary, so we can start with this part of vocabulary. Then there are the questions and ability requirements of college students' English test. Let's take a look at them separately:
The first big question is grammar multiple-choice question, * * * contains 40 questions, with a total score of 40 points. This kind of questions focus on vocabulary and grammar, especially in recent years, the number of word meaning analysis questions has been increasing, just to achieve the purpose of testing candidates' sub-vocabulary;
The second big question is cloze, * * * contains 20 questions with a total score of 20 points. This part not only examines the basic grammar and vocabulary, but also examines some fixed collocations and the understanding and grasp of the whole text structure;
The third topic is reading comprehension, ***4 articles with 20 questions, with a total score of 40 points. This kind of question mainly examines reading comprehension ability, and requires candidates to master the main idea and general idea of the material they read, as well as the facts and details used to explain the main idea and general idea; It is necessary to understand both concrete facts and abstract concepts; Can understand both literal meaning and deep meaning, including the author's attitude and intention; We can not only understand the meaning of a sentence or a paragraph, but also understand the logical relationship of the whole article, and make reasoning and judgment accordingly; We should not only learn from the information provided, but also combine the common sense of middle school students. The questions are examined from the aspects of detailed facts, vocabulary, sentence understanding, quotation, reasoning, author's attitude, judgment and theme. This part of the score is very high, after training and practice, you can get a lot of problem-solving skills;
The fourth topic is translation, with five English-Chinese translations and five Chinese-English translations, with a score of ***20. This sub-topic examines the practical application ability of candidates in grammar;
The fifth kind of problem is to correct mistakes, *** 10, with a total score of 10. This kind of question mainly examines the judgment of the correctness of grammatical rules;
The sixth category is writing, with a score of ***20. It is required to write an article in English with a relatively fixed structure and sentence patterns, and attention should be paid to the usual accumulation.
To sum up briefly, college English tests are divided into single choice, cloze, reading, translation, error correction and writing. The score is 150, and the problem-solving time is 150. The vocabulary requirement is about 3800 words. If you do a good job of accumulation and skill practice, the time for answering questions is very sufficient.
(II) Professional Preparation According to the requirements of the syllabus, the college entrance examination English test focuses on the accumulation and application of vocabulary, grammatical rules, fixed collocation and basic knowledge of English culture. There are two important knowledge requirements: vocabulary and grammar, which can be prepared from these two aspects.
In terms of vocabulary, I will talk about the order and method of memorizing words. If you are a student with a weak foundation, you can start with basic vocabulary, such as junior high school vocabulary. Remembering these words helps us to write basic sentences and understand basic English sentences, which is the basis for us to learn long and difficult sentences and test vocabulary frequently. If you have a certain foundation, you can directly start reciting the vocabulary of College Students' English Required Test. This part of vocabulary appears frequently, so we must master it firmly. Secondly, the way to remember words, we can remember words from phonetic symbols. The pronunciation of English words, that is, phonetic symbols, is unfamiliar to many students, but its essence is consistent with pinyin, so we can learn phonetic symbols by comparing our Chinese pinyin first, and then remember the meaning of words through pronunciation in the process of memorizing words later, instead of spelling letters one by one. Next, you can learn some other methods of memorizing words, such as common root affixes. The so-called root affix is equivalent to the radical in Chinese. Combining the meaning of "radical", we can guess many new words, especially the meaning of long and difficult words, which can improve the efficiency of memorizing words and consolidate the effect of memorizing words, and it is not easy to forget. Secondly, there are some homophonic memorization methods and story-making methods. Everyone can use their imagination, and the ultimate goal is to remember the meaning of words. Finally, I would like to remind you that our exam is more about taking exams, focusing on the understanding of difficult words, and does not require mastering the specific spelling of these words. So when you see long and difficult words in memorization, you can see them clearly and understand their meaning. But for basic vocabulary and frequently tested vocabulary, you still need to master spelling.
Grammatically, we can start from two aspects; Basic grammar and regular grammar. The first is basic grammar, including basic English sentence patterns, sentence elements, nouns, verbs, prepositions, numerals, adjectives and so on. This part is basically junior high school grammar, which will not be emphasized in the actual exam, but it does not mean that these grammars are not important, because they are the basis for reading other long and difficult sentences. Only by learning this part firmly and clearly can we better understand and use the grammar of the public examination. Then there are common grammar tests, including tense voice of verbs, modal verbs, clauses, non-predicate verbs, subject-predicate agreement, inversion, subjunctive mood and stressed sentences. These grammars seem to be "inexplicable and inscrutable", but in fact they are only the further integration and application of basic grammar, such as increasing the difficulty of vocabulary and the length of sentences, which is still the deepening of basic grammar rules and once again illustrates the importance of basic grammar. When preparing for the exam, in addition to the accumulation of basic knowledge, you need to master certain skills or methods to do the questions, and remember some fixed sentence patterns or collocations, which can improve the efficiency and accuracy of doing the questions. After accumulating to a certain extent, you can sum up a lot of wrong questions and make the fastest progress.
To put it simply, the preparation for college entrance examination English should start from the two core points of vocabulary and grammar, and can be prepared in the order of basic accumulation, intensive practice and brushing questions.
(3) Psychological Adjustment Finally, I will briefly talk about the psychological adjustment in the face of college students' English exams. This is also extremely important for candidates. The first is the mentality in the preparation process. There are two things you must avoid. First, they are too nervous, prepare for the exam in advance, and the front line is very long. In fact, it is definitely necessary to accumulate vocabulary and grammar in advance, but don't push yourself too hard, it will be easy to get tired, and it will be easy to be unbalanced if you don't do well in the later stage. The second is to do nothing and cram for the exam, which goes to the other extreme. Although our exam is exam-oriented and relies heavily on rote memorization, the amount of knowledge is actually very large, and it is still very difficult to master all the knowledge purely by a period of time before the exam. Second, when you really walk into the examination room and face the exam, you should adjust your mentality and keep a moderate positive attitude. Remember not to be too excited and nervous, nor too pessimistic and passive, and respond at will. The correct way is to answer the ordinary test paper carefully. The goal is to do every problem well, without regrets and other distractions, and concentrate on solving the immediate problem.
Freshman occupies a great advantage among all candidates, so we must make full use of and allocate our time and energy to prepare for the exam scientifically! Finally, I wish all candidates can successfully enter the university and be admitted to the ideal university!
