CET-4 is not only a quiz, but also a meeting. In this fierce competition, only people with sufficient fuel and power can stand out. To this end, Zhike. Bian Xiao specially dedicated this prepared meal for you, adding enough energy for your preparation!
Basic review
CET-4 gradually downplays the "pure" mode of examining vocabulary and grammar knowledge, but permeates vocabulary and grammar into all kinds of questions, which actually increases the difficulty of the questions and puts forward higher requirements for candidates to master vocabulary and grammar. Now everyone should insist on memorizing words and consolidate their mastery of key grammar knowledge.
1. vocabulary: continue to strengthen, don't relax.
What is needed to overcome the four-level word barrier is not a temporary assault, but a long period of time. Candidates should turn memorizing words into a daily job, insist on reviewing the words recited the day before, memorize new words every day, and learn the vocabulary by heart. Of course, at this stage, candidates don't have to spend a lot of time memorizing words, just take out 10 ~ 15 minutes every day. The most important thing is to keep reviewing every day and don't relax before the exam. If you think it is too difficult to memorize words in a book, you can also use Macy's word memory software and other tools to help you remember them, which will be faster and less boring.
2. Grammar: It is still important to refer to the real question.
Candidates should consciously think about the test sites of each topic, including grammar test sites, when doing the CET-4 real questions. In the limited time before the exam, it is not necessary for candidates to review grammar knowledge comprehensively. It is suggested that the focus of grammar review should be on cloze test and translation of real questions in CET-4. We should attach great importance to some important grammar points they often take, such as subjunctive mood, attributive clause, adverbial clause and non-predicate structure of verbs, and do a good job of checking and filling in the gaps according to personal circumstances.
Query attack
With regard to the types of questions, this paper mainly puts forward some suggestions for preparing for the exam in listening, reading and writing, hoping to help candidates have a clear aim in the next preparation.
1. Listening: Cultivate habits and listen carefully to the real questions.
Generally speaking, compared with other parts, listening is easier to improve the score through short-term sprint, so it should be the focus of candidates' sprint. At this stage, candidates should ensure that they listen to listening questions for at least 30 minutes every day. They can take five days as a stage and try to listen to five or six sets of listening questions completely before the exam. The specific method is as follows:
Day 1: Listen to a set of true listening questions of Band 4 completely. In the process of listening, you should pay attention, but don't worry about how much you understand and affect your mood. It is especially important to note that you should not stop listening, and don't interrupt the audio because you encounter words, vocabulary or sentences that you don't understand.
The next day: Listen to the audio you heard on the first day again. As on the first day, candidates should not be eager to know the full text. After listening to this time, take out the original text and read it aloud again.
Day 3: Follow the audio. Still the same audio. When listening this time, candidates should pause every time they play an audio to repeat it. Read everything in this way.
Day 4: Listen to the audio again from beginning to end without interruption. At this time, candidates should be able to feel that they can basically understand more than 90% of the content.
Day 5: Read it again and make sure it is correct. Pause every sentence of the same audio, then repeat it, compare it with the original, listen to the audio to find the wrong place, and then repeat it until it is completely correct. Through such intensive listening training, candidates can not only be familiar with the language sense and pronunciation characteristics of English, but also train their own reaction speed to English and improve the efficiency of doing questions.
2. Reading: Get rid of old habits and pay attention to methods.
I believe that candidates have increased a lot of reading in the preparation for the exam in the past six months. In the final sprint stage, candidates are advised to focus on training reading speed. Some candidates have developed the habit of "finger reading" or "pen reading" in reading, which has seriously affected the reading speed. In view of this, candidates must focus on changing this habit through training. I suggest that you pay attention to the following aspects when preparing for reading:
(1) When reading an article, candidates should not only read one word, but also broaden their reading range, reading 4-6 words at a time. They should scan with their eyes instead of pointing at the words one by one with their fingers or pens. If candidates feel unaccustomed or tired at first, they can train themselves to read two or three words at a time, and then gradually meet the requirements through repeated practice.
(2) The combination of key reading and secondary reading. Every article has core content and secondary content. Candidates should learn to distinguish these contents and make sure that they have main content and secondary content when reading. Under normal circumstances, the contents that should be read mainly include: ① subtitles, which play an important role in prompting some subtitled reading articles (especially fast reading); The first and last sentences of each paragraph usually contain important clues reflecting the main idea of the paragraph and should be read carefully; Words that express logical relations not only play the role of linking sentences, but also prompt candidates which sentences are valid information.
(3) When you come across a word (phrase) or sentence that you don't understand in reading, don't stay on it for too long, but try to keep the coherence of reading. If this part involves topics, candidates can carefully analyze and judge the meaning when they return to the original text after reading the specific topics. 3. Writing: Learning model essays and properly practicing the accumulation of writing materials is based on a lot of reading. Therefore, candidates' writing preparation process should start with reading excellent essay models. When reading, candidates should carefully analyze the advantages of phrasing the model essay and how to use these words properly in their own writing and turn them into their own "writing templates". While studying expression, candidates should also learn the structure of model essays and understand the different ways of discussing different types of articles. Candidates should not only learn the excellent expression and structural arrangement in the model essay, but also use the last month to write more and practice more, and at least ensure to write two compositions every week. The topic of writing is the topic of CET-4 writing in recent two years. Although these topics have been tested, they are of great reference significance in style and structure. After writing the composition, candidates should compare the excellent model essays, find out their own shortcomings and learn from each other's strengths. Time allocation Many candidates have the habit of burning the midnight oil before the exam, because they haven't memorized the words, mastered the grammar and finished the real questions ... In fact, this is a very bad habit. People do have strong short-term memory ability, but for English tests, this ability can only play a very limited role. For some Chinese exams such as politics and history, candidates may be able to improve their test scores by staying up late before the exam. But English is different. It is another language system. Candidates need a "code-switching" process when taking English exams, so it is not through short-term surprise memory that they can improve their scores. Bian Xiao suggested that candidates must adjust their biological clocks one week before the exam, rest on time, and don't stay up late at night to ensure energy during the day. Because the CET-4 is from 9: 00 to 1 1: 30, if the candidates feel sleepy in the examination room because of lack of sleep before the exam, their previous efforts will be greatly reduced.
I hope I can help you!
