3.作文
推荐两本书《十句话作文法》、《填空式作文法》
作文最关键的三点:
(1) 用词要有变化。
I want to ……….. I want to ………… I want to ………….
不如改成I want to ……………. I' d like to …………………. I am looking forward to ……………..
再比如advance, improve, precipitate 都表示推进、促进的意思,考试的时候可以换着用。
又一例:straightforward = direct
e.g. Straightforwardness is important. Indirect talks are considered dishonest.
(2) 转承
递近:what's more, moreover, also, again, besides
转折:whereas, although, though, however, but
总结:in a word, at any rate, all in all, to sum up
顺序:first, second, third, on one hand, on the other hand, the former, the latter
(3) 句式的变化
千万不能一个句式用到底,要有变化。
倒装:Not only did I pass the CET-4, but also I conquered the CET-6.
虚拟语气:Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a chemical company nearby or a university beside, I shall not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.
非限定从句,并列成分等等:Gao,who is my best friend, is ready to help others. 如果写成 Gao is my best friend. She is ready to help others.就比较差了,尽管没有错误。
后置:The scholarship makes possible my dream of going to university. 这个句子中'my dream of going to university' 本来应该紧跟在makes后面,但是太长了,就后置在最后了。
其他的要求:背诵一两篇范文;不会的词要换成同义的自己会的词;多阅读,多写。
4.阅读理解
重要性仅次于词汇量。区分考试的难易程度的标志是词汇量和阅读的速度。
阅读的关键是按照句子的成分去读, 而不是逐词(word by word)去读。例如:
Yet those who stress the achievement of a general consensus among the colonist cannot fully understand that consensus without understanding the conflicts that had to be overcome or repressed in order to reach it.
战术:"阅读――――分析语法――――理解句子" 一直到"阅读――――理解句子"而不需要分析语法!
下面比较一下我们读汉语和读英语的区别:
(汉语)阅读――――――――理解句子
(英语)阅读――分析语法――理解句子
(汉语)阅读―――――――――理解句子
(英语)阅读――口读、心读――理解句子
那么如何才能达到汉语的水平?只有大量的阅读,让大脑对英语做出纯朴的反应。
5.如何利用全真题。
(1) 实战性:做模拟题要在规定的考试时间内完成。将做题的生五钟调到早上9:00,这样才有最佳的状态。
(2) 对答案,分析。这一步比做题更重要。将做错的题做标记,最好抄录下来,放在考前的一两天复习。这部分内容是你的最珍贵的复习资料!
(3) 坚持每星期两套左右的量,保持手不生。
6.从长远的角度看学英语
(1) 工作
(2) 实用本领
