托福满分女孩讲述考试感想 英语曾“一塌糊涂”
来自中国深圳的17岁女孩常梦苏,以满分120分的成绩夺得第一名
托福考试是不少有志于出国留学的中国学子进入国外一流大学和获取奖学金的“敲门砖”。而此前,ETS(美国教育考试服务中心)对传统的托福考试进行了改革,加大了英语听说难度。所以,对于9月15日登陆中国内地的新托福考试,不少考生谨慎地持观望态度,而常梦苏在北美“新托福”考试中能获得满分,无疑可以给中国“考托族”一些有益的启示。
英语曾“一塌糊涂”
常梦苏说,她能获得这个好成绩,与她的家庭教育有着密不可分的联系。
她的双亲均毕业于哈尔滨工业大学,学的都是工科。她妈妈总结常梦苏的家庭教育时说:“我们是无为而治。”她说她和丈夫从来不要求常梦苏做她不喜欢做的事,也不盲目追求高分。
据介绍,常梦苏在小学四年级前英语成绩“一塌糊涂”,还不如比她小的孩子。到了五年级,面对升学压力,常梦苏才开始紧张起来。她想上深圳外国语学校,必须英语成绩过关。爸爸给她买回一套《中级美国英语》录音带,从此,常梦苏的耳朵里一直塞着耳塞,一遍又一遍地听,甚至放寒假、过大年三十,常梦苏仍在听。“我们家长从没强迫她学,但她是一个要强的孩子。”
常梦苏如愿考入深圳外国语学校之后,更加喜欢英语。她的父母也不忘给孩子营造学习环境,有意在家里听英语,还经常买回英语影碟和常梦苏一起观看,不看中文字幕。有时,他们还用英语与常梦苏交流。

这样的家庭教育使孩子成为一个有个性的女孩。常梦苏爱好广泛,对音乐、文学、影视、话剧等都十分喜欢,从4岁起开始自学了13年的钢琴。她还喜欢演讲,在2004年12月,当时读初中三年级的她一举夺得了第三届21世纪杯全国中学生英语演讲比赛冠军。
虽然奉行“无为而治”,但两位家长还是努力为孩子的学习提供条件。初二暑假时,他们送常梦苏到英国一个夏令营,这次夏令营让常梦苏萌发了要到国外念书的理想。从夏令营回深圳后,她更加刻苦地学习,尤其是学英语。对于女儿的这一理想,父母既不鼓励也不反对。“选学校、跟学校联系都是她自己来完成的,我们没有过问。”但是,当常梦苏把事情都联系好了以后,他们便毫不犹豫表示支持,并为此付出了许多。
去年,常梦苏赴加拿大多伦多的一所高中学习。
对于常梦苏在“新托福”考试里获得满分,常妈妈显得很平静。常爸爸则说:“我们没想到她会考满分。”
常梦苏讲述考试感想
目前常梦苏在北京参加一个夏令营。记者近日通过电话联系上她,这个声音爽朗的女孩在电话中说:“能取得满分,我自己也有点意外。考试前,我估计自己的成绩可能是115分,申请美国的著名大学要求的分数也就在90分左右,这次算是超常发挥了。”
谈起这次参加“新托福”考试,常梦苏说完全是个无心之举,“有一次跟家里人通电话,爸爸提醒我:在国外申请大学必须提供托福成绩,你是好好复习一下年底再考呢,还是暑假前先考一次试试?我想考就考呗,报了名,那时是今年5月,离考试只有一个多月了。”而且,“新托福”和期末考试挤在一块儿,期末考试结束的第二天,她就要参加“新托福”。
在这一个多月的时间里,常梦苏进行了全面的英语复习。她谈到一个复习小窍门:复习环境要尽量模拟考场,因为是机考,不能光看书复习,要多练习在电脑上阅读。她又说,“新托福”全面采用机考,每个环节都有固定时间,考生在考试时间的分配上缺少自主性,所以一定要规划好时间,比如口试录音的时间只有短短的45秒,如果错过了这个时间,再说什么考官都听不到了。
考试分4个部分。阅读部分,常梦苏说,“这部分的内容少,时间最充裕,平时积累词汇量很重要。”听力部分,她说相关内容大部分是模拟大学环境,有个答题技巧:“文章很长,要边听边做笔记,否则记不住那么多。”口试部分,她认为考生不必担心自己的口音:“官方指导上面明确说明口音不会对分数有影响,这部分考核的目的是看考生在短时间内对语言的组织能力。”写作部分,常梦苏认为和以前的托福大同小异,由于是机考,打字快的人有优势。
在平时的英语学习上,常梦苏采取的是“寓学于乐”的方式,比如通过演讲和辩论来提高口语。她觉得看英语电影好处很大,“这其实是一种情景教学。不看中文字幕,刚开始可能理解有困难,但到了一定阶段,连英文字幕也可以不看了。”常梦苏说,能考好成绩还要感谢深圳外国语学校,这所学校一向灌输的是“快乐学英语”的思想。

大同托福英语培训中心为大家讲述阅读考试注意事项
托福阅读由于题量较大,难度也较大,成为不少备考托福学生的“心头大患”。如何才能在规定的时间内将大篇幅的文章读完并选出正确选项是每位考生最关心的问题。为了帮助大家轻松应对托福阅读考试,下面就由译林培森大同托福英语培训中心的老师为大家介绍一些考试注意事项。
第一,掌握答题技巧。
考试想要拿高分,除了要掌握扎实的基础知识之外,同学们还要掌握一定的答题技巧。大同托福英语培训中心的老师建议同学们在做托福阅读题的时候可以采用排除法。大家可以先根据自己对文章内容的记忆把无关选项、错误选项排除,如果最后只剩下一个正确答案那最好,要是还剩下两个或三个可能选项的话,同学们就要从文章相关内容当中寻找答案了。要提醒大家的是,一定要从文章当中找答案,切不可主观臆测。
第二,基础要扎实,词汇量一定要丰富。
文章是由词汇组成的,如果对词汇不够熟悉,无法判断出每个词汇的意思的话,我们是肯定无法理解文章内容的。不少同学说托福阅读难度太大,不认识的单词太多了,这就是词汇量积累不够的表现。大同托福英语培训中心的老师建议同学们一定要做好词汇积累工作,并不是需要大家把所有的单词都会拼写,大部分单词只需要大家看到明白意思就好。想要托福阅读拿高分,丰富的词汇量是基础。
第三,选择正确的做题顺序。
之前我们已经在相关的文章当中提到过,建议大家在做阅读的时候选择先看题后读文章的做题顺序,当然,这只是给大家的建议,具体执行的时候需要大家因人而异。大同托福英语培训中心的老师建议同学们根据自己平时的阅读习惯进行选择,之所以让大家先读题后阅读,是为了同学们在读的时候心中有数,不会太盲目,这样读文章就会节省很多时间,提高阅读效率。
以上就是大同托福英语培训中心的老师为大家总结的托福阅读考试注意事项,希望同学们可以在平时的复习阶段做好基础知识积累工作,在答题的时候掌握技巧,把握好时间,争取阅读部分拿高分,从而让自己的托福整体成绩有所提升。
第三篇:广东高考英语听说考试满分经验
广东高考英语听说考试满分经验
我是今年(2017年)6月毕业的广东考生,很幸运的是,我听说考试拿了满分。其实这个不确定因素很大,最最重要是考试时候的状态。
1、我先跟你说说考试那会的事吧。一般来说一个班里总会有那么些人被分在了同一个考试的语音室,进去以后尽量跟听力好的人在一起,那里的隔音效果都不会好,所以你很容易听到别人的答案(当然最好是你自己确定答案,那时我们有一个考试语音室的人跟着大家喊同一个答案,结果都错了)。
2、考试分3部分,第一部分是电脑给一段视频(英文配音英文字幕,一般是介绍某个动物或者地方的视频),电脑第一次放视频的时候,你不要急着跟读,留意出现的陌生单词的读音,快速笔记,之后它给出原文文字并停1分钟左右给你练习,快速读一遍,记下不会读的单词,等下一次播音,记住,前面几句一定一定要读的非常非常熟,据一些老师的说法,很多评分员只听前几句,因为他们要听很多份也会疲倦。第三次放音的时候跟读。然后就是你自己跟着视频字幕读了,一定记住,读的时候不要结巴,一定要大声而且装作很有底气的样子,我听过自己的录音,声音有没有底气效果出来真的差很多,就算你突然忘了某个单词怎么读也要流利的随便读一个过去,老师有时是听不出你读错没有,但他肯定能听出你是否流利。所以一定要集中精神。
3、第二部分是念一段话然后让你对着中文字幕翻译几个问题,在回答他英文问的无字幕的问题,开始的一段话是读一遍,所以一定要听清而且一定要做笔记,非常快那种缩写笔记。我那时候因为第二部分好几题没听清,所以跟着旁边的女生喊的答案,其实我也不知道我喊的是什么,不过当你真的不知答案的时候,认真听旁边的答案,跟着念,一定要念的像,就算你不知道他喊得是啥,只要在时间范围内 迟一点答题也没关系的。很奇怪的是,我跟着旁边的女生念,她14分,我15分满分了。所以我想应该是老师听着你的读音跟正确答案比较像就给分了,而且我念的很有气-装作很肯定答案的样子。
4、第三部分是电脑念一篇短文(一般是故事)念两遍,然后给时间你整理练习,之后自己复述故事内容。听的时候一定要做笔记,越详细越好。这一部分的评分标准是一共有那么十几个要点,答对一个就给相应的分数,所以念的很罗嗦也没关系,尽可能把你听到的信息说出来。而且,还是那句话,念的要有底气!一定要流利!
5、说说平时吧,找几十份听力练习题,就是考试形式的那种,可以买一本专门的广东听说训练的练习册,配光碟的,英语双语报也有相关联系。然后就是不断地练习了,练的时候找好节奏,就是听的过程中怎样记笔记的问题,你最好找到一种英文单词缩写的办法(自己能看明白的)因为考试那时候真的没时间记完所有信息,要学会简写重点的词,联系时一个是练你的听力,一个试炼你的记笔记的能力技巧。
6、如果你的听力真的很差那种,那么你要恶补一下了,去网上下一些听力(可以是疯狂英语的听力,一篇篇短文的那种,跟考试录音比较像)每天睡前起床必须要听,最好吃饭也听,而且要尽力听懂,这比较难,不过这样你坚持一个星期效果肯定出来了。我听力一般般,这样在睡前听几篇,一个星期后能听比较快的英文了。
7、对了,补充一点小细节,考试的时候每一段录音放完后会滴一声然后进入答题时间,你会看到一个倒计时间的条,记住,别太赶着答题,有时候滴一声后1-3秒内电脑还没进入录音状态,我练习时有一次就是太急了有几个单词念出来没被录进电脑。
这是我本身的一些经验,希望对你有帮助,不要太紧张,考前一定要睡好,个人感觉考场上状态比平时重要,退一万步讲,我们那届分数出来分数段在9-15分,15分很少,14分也不多,差的跟好的平均也就相差4,5分左右,高考数学多做对一道选择题分数就回来了。所以要重视但也不要太紧张,别想太多勇敢的走下去吧,你会收获你想要的!
第四篇:09年6月英语四级考试满分作文
09年6月英语四级考试满分作文范文(满分版)
Free Admission to Museums(满分版)
Nowadays, an increasing number of museums are admission-free to visitors home and abroad.The hidden reason behind this is not hard to analyze as there’s a growing awareness for the authorities regarding the urgency of popularization of culture, knowledge and history with every average person in our society.Only with free access to this live ‘database’, can most people fully enjoy what museums could offer to them。
However, free admission to museums might lead to some social problems as well.The most obvious problem is that it might give museums a very heavy economic burden which directly impedes the sustainable development of these organizations.As a result, our government has to work out other ways to collect funds from different channels, which might be difficult to operate or control.On the other hand, free admission attracts too many visitors, some of which might not be well-purposed and do some conscious or unconscious damage to the valuable treasures which used to be well-preserved in the museums。
As a university student, I am in favor of the free-admission conduct.Yet it is proposed that some measures should be taken to solve the potential problems caused by it.For example, museums can make some regulations to guide the behavior of visitors or set some ‘closed’ days for museums for regular maintenance.Only in this way can free-admission to museums become a long-lasting phenomenon and have sustainable development。
新东方
Recently, museums in mounting numbers become admission-free to the public both home and abroad.The purpose of this practice is to offer more opportunities for citizens to explore and get easy access to the world of history, culture and knowledge.Although free admission to museums enjoys distinct advantages, it also brings harmful effects.In the first place, these valuable cultural relics displayed may be damaged or destroyed consciously or unconsciously by the crowds.In the second place, it becomes a huge economic burden for museums to run as usual without any profits from the visitors.It is my view that free admission to museums is of utmost significance.For one thing, we should appeal to our authorities to legislate strict laws and regulations to protect these museums.For another, we should cultivate the awareness of people that museums are extremely vital to us humans.It is high time that we attached great importance to our motherlands'splendid and glorious culture of more than five thousand years.大学英语四级考试必看作文 占座现象转自
We often see there is a table cloth, a book or something else on the desk in
the classroom or library, indicating the seat is taken.This kind of phenomenon is very usual in almost all colleges and universities.Strangely enough, most of students seem to take this for granted, and few will protest it.Though most of students’ taking seats in advance is for better study, this kind of phenomenon has great negative effects.On the one hand, it is a selfish behavior, which damages other students’ interests.Sometimes even if many students come to the classroom very early, they can not find a seat.On the other hand, reserving a seat violates the rule of fairness.No matter how late you come to class, the seat is still reserved for you even though many others are eager for that seat.Considering the above-mentioned, I think, it is high time that we college students took a good look of our behavior.Indeed, only if all of us can improve our consciousness, it is not a difficult task for us to get rid of this kind of phenomenon “reserving a seat“.四六级写作十大热点主题预测及背诵范文
预测主题之第十位:友谊
Friendship is a kind of human relations.It is a human instinct to make friends.When in trouble, we need friends to offer us help, support and encouragement.With success achieved, we also need friends to share our joys.Friendship is also one of the greatest pleasures that we can enjoy.It implies loyalty, cordiality, sympathy, affection,and readiness to help.No man can make the most of his life without carefully and conscientiously striving to win the right kind of friends as he goes along.Knowing how valuable friendship is, we should be very careful in making friends.Real friends are those who have good character, superior ability and kindness of heart.Real friends can share all our sorrows and double all our joys.While making friends, we should take care to select those who have such fine qualities.Then we should treat our friends with courtesy, be careful not to interfere unreasonably with them,and not to ridicule their proceedings.We should forgive their failures and do our best to help them.In short, when we have established friendship, we ought to cherish and treasure it by means of words and deeds.Only thus, can we develop real friendship and keep the sacred lamp of friendship burning all our life.预测主题之第九位:压力
As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of
relaxation.Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night,it is hard to slow down.But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it.In fact, it is not the bad thing as it is often supposed to be.A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life.It is only when the stress gets out of control can it lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual.Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities.Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties.When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically.In fact, we make a choice between ”flight or fight"and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death.The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response.It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered.Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have established links with stress.Since we cannot remove stress from our lives(it would be unwise to do so even if we could),we need to find ways to deal with it.预测主题之第八位:节约
As is vividly revealed in the drawing above, water is being wisely utilized in the daily life of a family.The good conduct is indeed praiseworthy and should be popularized in our society.The implied meaning of the drawing can be stated as follows.To begin with, to practise economy is closely related to our daily life.In terms of our clothing, food, sheltering, and transport, much work can be done to save valuable energy and natural resources such as power, water, coal, gas and so on.We, as university students, should take the wise use of paper and second-hand textbooks into consideration.What’s more, the public participation is the foundation of a society in which to practise economy is advocated and treasured.Since social environment is shaped by the general public, the cultivation of economy-practising society depends on the active involvement of every member of our society, be he old or young.In sum, our daily life should be permeated with the sense of practising economy and public participation should be encouraged.In my view, necessary measures should be taken so as to practise economy.On the one hand, we should launch a public campaign to help people build up the sense of practicing economy in our routine life.On the other hand,education on how to practise economy must be promoted by relevant government departments and professionals at different levels.Only in this way can we create a real economy-practising society.预测主题之第七位:健康
Nowadaysmoreand more people are concerned about their health.But howtokeep healthy? Different people may give different answers to this question.In my opinion, it is essential to do the following.First, it is absolutely necessary to take some exercise every day.Research shows that getting plenty of exercise make the heart beat faster and the lungs work harder.This strengthens the heart, reduces the chance of heart attack, and helps lower blood pressure.That's why more and more people are becoming active in various kinds of sports and exercises.Every morning many people get up early and take much exercise.Some practice shadowboxing and swordplay while others run, jog, walk or dance to music.In the afternoon,there are also many people keen on sports.Some play basketball or volleyball or table tennis, others go in for gymnastics or track events.Through sports and exercise, people become healthier and stronger.Medical researchers have proved that what people eat affects their health.They advise people to eat more fruit and vegetables and less meat such as beef and pork because meat contains more fat than poultry and fish.Fat can build up in the arteries, block the flow of blood, and cause a heart attack or stroke.预测主题之第六位:竞争
Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life.We compete when we play games and when we try to do better than others in our study.There is constant competition for academic degrees, jobs, customers, money and so forth.In a sense, competition is one of the motive force to the development of society.In fact, the only way our world reward people is to give laurels to the winners, not to the losers.What is more, by attempting to compete at different activities, we learn to win and lose, gain experience and know our strengths and weaknesses.Competition prepares us for the tough things in life.To go ahead, to acquire possession, we should be competitive.To us, industriousness and ambition are positive values.Whether in games, in study or in business alike, the aim is to win the
game, the degree, the trophy(战利品),and the contract.Learning to be competitive is clearly the best preparation for life.
