Nowadays, going abroad for studies is enjoying a striking popularity among adolescents.Importance should be attached to studying abroad.There are a great many advantages of studying overseas.First and foremost, living and studying abroad offers students a different perspective of the world.On a university campus, international students are likely to encounter their counterparts from various countries and areas and are exposed to diverse ideas and values.What is more, overseas experience is the best opportunity for the real-life use of foreign languages.There is no better opportunity to improve second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken.Generally peaking, it is my view that although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful, the payoff is worthwhile.In the first place, in addition to knowledge, overseas students can gain precious experiences that those who stay at home will never have.Furthermore, overseas experience, frustrating and painful as it may be, is conducive to the growth of adolescents.2、就业
Job hunting has always been a headache for college students.Though many graduates are employed right after graduation, some are not.Most serious of all, some still have no idea where to go working even a long time after graduation.The reasons for this phenomenon are various.On the one hand, a few years ago colleges and universities enrolled so many students in popular majors, such as economy, finance and so on that the number of graduates was greater than the need in the market.On the other hand, most graduates would rather stay in large cities without suitable job to do than go to the country.I reckon this problem can be solved if both colleges and students take measures.First, they should research the market and develop special skills to suit its need.Second, students’ attitude towards employment should be changed.They should go to small cities and country.There they can also give full play to their professional knowledge.In a word, if we pay much attention, the situation can be improved.3、网络
In recent years, people are developing an inseparable relationship with Internet.As is known to all, it is convenient for us to click the mouse when surfing on line, either to entertain ourselves or to meet the work’s needs.On the one hand, no one denies that Internet is currently one of the most useful media in our daily life.As a college student, I get on line every day to exchange information through e-mails with my net friends.But on the other hand, a good many people admit that they are too much addicted to Internet to maintain a regular and wholesome lifestyle.Thus, it is necessary for us to use Internet in a reasonable way and restrain from overindulgence.After all,Internet is invented to enrich our life, and to improve the efficiency of our work rather than shackle us with a chain.4、考试
In most colleges and universities the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject.Although it does the job quite efficiently, its side effects are also enormous.To begin with, examinations lower the standards of teaching.Since teachers are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques.No subjects can be taught successfully merely through being approached with intent to take examinations.In addition, the most undesirable effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits.As the examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, a student is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively.In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students’ academic development.If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations? 新CET4大纲词汇思马得记忆法精粹

5、老师
In my life I have met a great many teachers who are really worth recalling.But perhaps the most unforgettable one I ever know is my English teacher.What frequently brings back memories of my school teacher is his special qualities.First of all, he gave us the greatest gift a teacher can offer—an awakening of a passion for learning.He not only led us to an appreciation of the beauty and perfection of English language and literature, but also aroused our great interest in exploring something deeper in this field.Second, I was attracted by his lively wit.I remember that we students always anticipated his class with great eagerness because his lecture were humorously delivered, never failing to provoke chuckles or loud laughs.Although it is nearly two years since I attended his last class, he is the talk of our old classmates, and I know part of him has already stayed in my heart.6、求学信
Dear Sir or Madam, I am a Chinese student who wishes to apply for admission into your prestigious university.My plan is to start my course next term, and I would be grateful if you would be kind enough to provide me with certain essential information.First, what qualifications do I need to follow a course of study at your university? I already have a bachelor’s degree from Beijing University, but I wonder if there are any further academic requirements.Second, how much are the tuition fees?
Although I intend to be self-supporting, I would be interested to hear if there are any scholarships available for international students.Third, what is the situation regarding accommodation? I look forward to your reply, and to attending your esteemed institution.Yours sincerely, Li Ming
7、邀请信 Dear Snoopy, I am greatly honored to formally invite you to participate in Mr.Guo Jing’s wedding ceremony with Ms.Huang Rong to be held at Beijing Grand Hotel from 8 to 10 p.m.on April 1, 2007.As you are a close friend of us, we would very much like you to attend the celebration and share our joy.The occasion will start at seven o’clock in the evening, with the showing of their wedding ceremony.This will be followed by a dinner party.At around ten, we will hold a small musical soiree, at which a band will perform some works by Bach and Strauss.If you do not have any prior appointment on April 1, we look forward to the pleasure of your company.Yours sincerely, Li Ming
8、投诉信
Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to inform you that I wish to move into a new room next semester.I would prefer a single room, as I find the present sharing arrangement inconvenient.I must explain that the reason for my dissatisfaction is my roommate’s inconsiderate behavior.For one thing, his friends are constantly visiting him;for another, he regularly holds noisy parties.In these circumstances, I find it difficult to concentrate on my studies, and I am falling behind in my assignments.I am sure you will agree that the only solution is for me to move into a room of my own.Therefore, I would be grateful if you could find a single room for me, preferably not in the same building but as near to the college campus as possible.Yours sincerely, Li Ming
9、致辞
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Beijing!To begin with, I would like to make a brief introduction to myself.I am the president of Motorola(China)Electronics Ltd.The following is my introduction to the conference.First, it is my great honor to be here with all of you and declare open the Conference of International Trade Cooperation.Second, on behalf of our company, I would like to express my heartfelt welcome to all the guests and delegates.Last, I believe our cooperative efforts are sure to be productive.I wish all of you enjoy yourselves during this conference and hope the above information will help you.If you have any question for me, please feel free to ask at any time.Thank you for your attention.10、告示
Chinese Speaking Contest

第三篇:备考英语四级
备考英语四级
1、词汇的积累和熟练
词汇是参加任何英语考试的基础,特别是作为全国大学英语级别考试中初级水平的四级考试。希望朋友们在10月末之前必须把四级大纲所规定4200词汇浏览3遍。注意是浏览!不一定都要背诵。这样可以在辅导班的第3阶段或者自己准备做全真题时,不会无所适从。同时用卡片或小手册强化记忆每页中难以记住的重要词汇。泛记是积累英语词汇的最有效的方法,但是短时间难以达到大纲所规定的量,不过可以作为辅助手段。
2、听力的磨练
听力可能是许多考生头疼的问题,但是这20分必须要重视,至少要得11分以上。听力薄弱的原因很多,词汇量,语音,语法结构(意群),语气语调重读(语感),答题技巧等。在加强自己词汇量,语法结构的理解,以及语音尽量标准的基础上,每天或至少经常加强听力练习,以听和四级命题相类似的练习为主。如果不懂,可以反复听几遍。少看或尽量推迟看文字材料。把简短对话和文章结合起来听。同时附以听写短句。难度可以逐步加大。听力要练很难。但是,也不是练不好的啦。我是在abc360上课,每天和外教一对一上课,是在线视频上课的,时间就很灵活了。上课也方便,一个电脑就好了。老师很耐心,教了我很多,课后的跟踪也很好呢。我这个学渣都成功啦,你也可以的啦。
3、语法结构的加强
尽管现在单独作为考试题型的语法结构越来越少,可是在任何一个四级和六级的考试题型中,语句的理解还是以语法结构为基础,特别是结构。所以大家可以阅读恩波谢忠明《3+2核心笔记》中的语法结构,同时精选10篇左右文章(建议新概念3后30单元的),细看,精看,涉及到每个词,结构,篇章来温习和锻炼自己长句,复杂句等的理解,同时逐步加快速度,可以提高自己在考试中,特别是阅读理解中阅读的速度。
4、完形和简短回答
该项是综合题型,只要基本功加强了,扎实了,再练习若干,不会有多大问题。可以在11月左右,在学习技巧后给予更多重视。
5、阅读理解的掌握
阅读是四级中最重要的部分,得阅读者,得天下。但是反之亦然。所以应该极力重视。但是阅读是综合才能。词汇,结构,逻辑,篇章,理解等对阅读产生很大的影响。在加强基本功的基础上,再附以技巧和训练。现在朋友们的阅读不必上量上速度,要精看,找出自己理解的长处和短处(特别是错误后的反省)注意阅读步骤的培养:浏览—看题—找答案点—理解含有答案点句子或段落—看和理解选项—对比和对应选项和答案点。掌握技巧和方法是现在必须要做的,所以完成一篇文章后,最好要返看,提炼自己的得失,总结出题特点和思路,同时提炼好的词汇搭配,结构甚至写作中可以用到的精彩句子。然后逐步加大量和提高自己的速度。
6、写作训练
唯一一项是由人工批阅的部分。也是综合基本功的体现。现在在词汇,结构,篇章等能力提高的同时,遵循从翻译单句,长句,段落到翻译文章的步骤,可以中英文互译,对比和原文的差别,找出自己表达的不足。同时注意平时要练笔,交给老师或朋友修改,找出自己的问题,最好可以分类联系(记叙,说明,论说,信件,图表等)。同时注意把阅读和写作结合起来,积累好的词汇搭配,表达法,结构,篇章等,毕竟读书破万篇,下笔如有神嘛。
第四篇:如何备考英语四级
现在英语是一种很广泛的语言,而且在未来的工作也很有帮助的,那么在大学更要拿到英语四级的证书,那么接下来给大家分享一些关于如何备考英语四级,希望对大家有所帮助。
如何备考英语四级
一、背单词,打基础(1-3月)
词汇是英文的基础,备战四级,背单词是基本,积累了一定的词汇量,临战上场才更胸有成竹。我们可以先花3个月时间积累词汇,现在就可以买一本四级词汇书,制定一份计划,每天坚持背一定的单词,系统、集中地复习。
二、分项练习,各个击破(4月)
经过3个月的单词背诵,我们已经积累了足够的词汇量,个人的心态也调整到了备考状态。4月份,我们要针对四级考试的4大题型:听力、作文、阅读、翻译进行集中训练。这时候可以多做一些章节练习、模拟卷,分项强化。
听力:作为考试中的个模块,听力做的好坏大体决定了你整套试卷的成败,所以一定要高度重视。后一个月的关键期,大家要明确一点,要想提高听力,不在于听的多,而在于听的精。要做到对常考对话熟练于胸!练习一篇听力要练到能听出来所有的词汇为止,只有这样才能提高考场上的反应能力,真正听明白词义和句义。每天花1个小时来听听力,听力素材可以选择VOA及历年四级真题听力。刚开始可以从VOA的慢速英语听起,先听一段时间,进而慢慢过渡到常速英语。
阅读:阅读理解是我们准备的重中之重,相信大家之前也已经做过了不少套题,所以在考前需要把你做过的阅读中出错的部分再重新复习一下,看是词汇语法上的问题,还是解题思路上的问题,把这些出错点谨记于胸,以防考场上再出错。掌握足够的词汇量,学会分析重难点句子的句式结构和逻辑,一篇文章可以泛读、精读过两遍,习惯西方人的思维方式,掌握出题规律。
翻译:很多同学不是太重视四级的翻译,认为即使提前准备也不会有太大提高,其实不然。四六级的翻译也是可以快速提分的,因为其考察内容有很多重复的地方,比如:词汇,句式结构,文章题材。去年12月的四级就考察了:中餐,中国结,茶文化等中国传统文化的相关内容,很多词语是相通的;同一句式结构会反复考察,比如notonly...butalso...。所以说提前准备是可以复习到常考词汇和句式的,也可以在短期内获得提高。当然最重要的是平时多积累词汇、语法知识,多读多写多做积累,培养英文的敏感性。
作文:作文是一定要背的,大家必须积累一些常见的词汇短语,背诵一些好用的句型搭配,这样才能在考场上顺畅的表达出作文内容。另外还要注意作文的形式,段落要清晰,分层要明确,方便阅卷老师快速抓住作文的主题和段落的主题。最后切记:卷面整洁!
三、真题训练(5月)
在完成分项练习、模拟卷后需要专门练习近平10年或是5年的真题,模拟考场的紧张氛围,计时考试。
因为真题囊括了历年考试考过的内容,权威性和规范性非常高。练习历年真题,能帮助考生透析考试重点、掌握命题规律!
四、查漏补缺(6月)
离考试只有10多天,此时我们需要对自己掌握的知识点进行查漏补缺,总结以前做过的真题、练习题、模拟题中遇到的错题,检测自己的薄弱环节,进行重点突击。
之后就是熟悉考场规则,做好各项准备,调整心态和情绪,从容应考。
英语四级如何快速提高
每周有2-3天的听力练习,最好早上做一套听力。(要把听到的单词标注下来,这样有助接下来的提问的问题。)
每天在早上背单词20--50个单词,把不懂的单词标注下来,下次继续复习,重点的牢牢记住。把已经背了的单词也标注
用本子把重要的语法记下来可以随时随地的复习。
每天最好坚持做一道两篇的阅读理解,而且要把不懂的单词去查字典。(查字典可以帮助我们更好理解这个单词还可以了解它的用法)
把在听力上、阅读上、作文上不懂的词组记载下来。
我们还需要有一本词组书,增加我们的词汇量。
英语四级如何准备
记单词。单词是英语四级的核心与关键。记单词是一切的基础,可以通过各种手机APP来记单词,如扇贝单词、百词斩、不背单词、墨墨单词等等,选择一个适合自己的软件,随时随地记忆。
记单词。也可以买一本单词书记单词,这种方式需要边记边写,使记忆更加持久。同时也可以把单词带入句子或者文章中记忆,会更加深刻。
听力。听力需要每天听,可听BBC英语,熟悉语感,也可用VOC慢速英语,循序渐进的听懂每个单词。适当听英语四级的各种真题听力,加以练习,以提高听力水平。
阅读。阅读需多读多看,看不同的英语文章,做不同的英语真题,提高自己的英语阅读水平。阅读是建立在单词基础上的,所以需要单词量的丰富。
作文。作文可以寻找一些作文模板记下来,也记忆一些名言名句,典型的句子,提高自己作文的档次。
翻译。找真题进行翻译练习,或练习翻译一篇文章,与标准翻译对应,看自己的翻译出现的问题在哪里,是不认识单词还是语法不对,或者有些翻译会根据语境改变单词的意思。要学会灵活运用。
第五篇:英语四级备考
2010年四六级备考黄金期听力技巧
进入四月,全国各高校四六级报名纷纷结束,距离正式开考还有两个月时间,是考生复习的黄金时期。为了取得好成绩,考生们开始了紧锣密鼓的复习,校园里学习气氛日益浓厚。在保持严谨的学习态度同时,四六级考试辅导名师建议考生,日常复习如采取以下几个方法,将收到良好效果。
第一、复习与自身兴趣结合,利用闲散时间。
很多考生在复习过程中,开始几天积极性高、主动性强,抱着词汇书按计划每天背单词、做习题,可是时间长了就难免产生厌倦情绪,感到备考枯燥无味,效率下降。
这个时候其实只要稍微改变一下复习方式,就能轻松地备考。比如,把业余爱好和四六级复习相结合,会在阅读和背单词上产生巨大的效果。喜欢看小说的同学,平时看中文小说,这个时候就改看中英文对照的。看的时候注意关注每个作者的用词偏好,这些书中常常会反复出现某些常看但难记的单词,或某个单词的多项用法,而一词多用恰巧是复习四六级单词的一个重点。爱看体育新闻、时尚杂志的同学也可以试着多看英语新闻,看电视的英语频道,从这些渠道来关注日常生活,在这样的情景下学习会变得更容易。
第二、听力材料浑身是宝,精读、背诵得高分。
四六级听力题的原文是考试中最简单的一部分,其中的小对话,场景真实、用语地道,是复习时可以拿来使用的好资料,把它作为备战四六级的突破口。考生可以每天抽出一段时间,将历年真题中的对话进行跟读、背诵,熟读每一个句子,首先对口语就会有很大提高,其次,听力原文里无论是对话还是语段,都会有生词出现,对于这些词汇,考生如果能做到一听就懂,放在阅读中自然是没有问题,很多平时背了几遍也记不住的单词就迎刃而解了,不仅掌握它的意思,还懂得如何去应用在句子中,词汇量会大幅度扩大。由此可见,四六级听力原文其实浑身上下都是宝,好好利用会令考生获益多多。
第三、提高听力绝招:坚持反复做听写。
这个方法在辅导中多次尝试过,收效良好。即考生专门准备好一段听力录音,不看文字答案,也不看选项,直接一句一句的听写。听不懂、写不出来的地方反复听两到三遍,实在写不出来的先放在一边,留出空格。一套题听写完毕再总体对一下答案,勾出错误的和没有写出来的部分,这个时候再回想一下当时没有听写出来或听写错误的原因,是由于单词连读、弱读的问题,还是由于口音的差别,还是单词拼写不正确,然后对照着修改过的重新再听一次,这时注意之前错的地方着重听。一套题可以反复这样练习,直到自己完全没有错误为止。真题的听力语速、材料、词汇与考试最符合,所以切记此方法一定要用真题。
名师老师强调:四六级是水平考试,四级测试的主要是英语最基础的认知水平,六级考查了一点点应用。近两年开始的考试改革显示了由认知到应用的过渡,逐渐向考查应试者真实英语水平的方向发展,所以考生应运用合适的学习方法,把英语融入日常生活中,循序渐进地真正提升英语水平,不要过分地将它看作考试,以平常心对待,挖掘到学习的乐趣,自然能顺利通过考试。
