Tell me about my experience. I took the CET-4 twice. For the first time, I thought that junior high school and senior high school had a foundation and the university was an English major. I usually have contact. It shouldn't be difficult to get into CET-4, but I didn't get in.
At that time, professional students couldn't pass CET-4, which was very humiliating. I regained my confidence and began to prepare for the second exam. This time, I am more prepared. I went to Dingwangtai in Changsha, picked up a CET-4 vocabulary, and then enrolled in a remedial class in a foreign school, where I had two or three classes. I think it still works. At least the teacher's method of solving problems is clever. According to the ideas taught by the teacher, I can quickly analyze the sentence structure and find the answer. Besides, I really read that vocabulary book from beginning to end. To tell the truth, about 20% can remember words and definitions, but they have a preliminary understanding of nearly 1000 words and can understand the content in combination with the context.
I have to say that my examination method is correct. After the whole exam, one or two compound words occasionally appear in the reading comprehension item, which accounts for a large score. I try to figure out the meaning and understand the author's thinking, that is, I need to strengthen my writing. Writing a short essay feels similar to junior high school, and there is no logic and typesetting in English.
To learn English, we must first understand the four directions of the exam, namely, listening, speaking, reading and writing. When I was in college, my listening teacher got an interpreter's certificate, and I could clearly hear her American accent. If you don't engage in foreign trade and translation now, you may not have much English ability and can basically communicate. You're still taking CET-4, and it's really English-oriented, such as foreign assistant. Without Band Six, you wouldn't even consider it. Therefore, although the certificate is important, the real core strength is tough self-confidence, which can make you competitive when choosing employment.
Listening is a headache for many professional students, because choosing and reading can be graded by memorizing and brushing questions. There is no trick to listening, just listening more and understanding more. To put it simply, in addition to the formal system, there will be two or three foreign accents besides Britain and the United States, such as Japan and Thailand. So you should not only listen, but also understand. At that time, when we were grading, there was always a problem of calculating time. Give the scene, two people talk, say the current time, and the other person says the time interval, and then let you calculate the time to complete a thing. At that time, people were nervous and met a good math problem in liberal arts. Many people were crazy and didn't hear clearly, but they wouldn't give you a chance to listen again. This shows that the comprehensiveness of English test questions has begun to take shape.
Reading comprehension, many foreign majors lose points here, they can't understand the content of the article at all, and they don't know where to start. I give you a suggestion: buy a radio that can receive international English channels, such as VOA and BBC, listen to English news for half an hour every morning, then try to conquer its usage and expand your vocabulary for unfamiliar words. When you listen to any news, you can understand what it is saying, and quickly find a few core words in the whole article, and you will pass. When I took CET-6, I found that the biggest difference between the so-called quiz set and the real question lies in the forward-looking and valuable nature of the article news. I remember when I was in the exam, there was a reading comprehension article about the research and innovation of a new technology in the world. At that time, there were many professional words, so many people spent a lot of time in this step, which greatly slowed down the progress. But if you are interested in international news at ordinary times, you only need to look at the content of the article to know the answer.
Finally, talk about writing. The most difficult thing in English writing is not words and complicated sentence patterns, which is the standard of ordinary students. The most important thing in English writing is English thinking. Chinglish exists because people don't seriously understand the humor of British and American culture, literati thought and even life slang. Only by understanding why the British and Americans say this can you write an article that foreigners can understand.
To talk about extension and learn any skills, we must first understand where our strengths and weaknesses are, and how to give full play to our strengths so as to complement each other. You should understand that you are learning a language, so a certificate can only show the breadth and foundation of your knowledge, but not your ability to master and express the language. Getting the certificate is not the result, but just the beginning. Only by constantly enriching can we go further and further on this road.
Listening to English news, listening, speaking, reading and writing all depend on understanding-in fact, I am not smart, but I know more than others.
Those who dare to take the ordinary road are real warriors.
Like others, love to imitate, but a child, tolerant of children, shows that he has expectations for the future.
Love is not important, but career is important.
