2. Most people are in the second and third grades, and fewer people actually get 1 and grade 4.
P2: The first, second, third and fourth grades of college English are compulsory in Peking University, and four English classes are required during college. If you get into the second grade, you should take 2, 3 and 4 classes from the second grade, and then you can take an English class. If you pass CET-4, you only need to take one course, and CET-4 requires three English topics. So it doesn't matter much how difficult the courses in grades 3 and 4 are. After studying English courses, you can take English specialized courses (such as oral English, listening and speaking, business card appreciation, some of which are interesting but complicated).
It should be noted that the first year of English is quite special. In fact, it is unlikely that you will be the first in the exam. Most of them are really poor in English, so the textbooks used will be relatively simple. If your level has improved to a certain extent and your grade in the first year of English has reached an excellent level, you can apply for advanced placement (continue reading 3 directly).
Pps: Actually, there is absolutely no need to ask too many questions, and there is absolutely no need to make special preparations. Just get the most authentic level. If your English level is good, but you deliberately fail the exam (for example, some people get high marks to make their grades look better), it is basically a waste of time, and what you have learned will not improve your English level. If your English level is not so good, but you barely passed CET-3 or CET-4, you can only feel that you are far behind your classmates in class, and your exam results are not ideal, so it is difficult to keep up with others and you can't learn anything. And college English is not as frequent as high school, only two hours a week. In addition to preparing for the demonstration, there is little homework, so we should rely more on our own exercise and self-study. (Peking University also offers many English clubs, and there are many international students in the school. There are still many ways to improve yourself if you think it is necessary. )
