我如何準(zhǔn)備托福
準(zhǔn)備時(shí)間: 半年
準(zhǔn)備方法: 前三個(gè)月補(bǔ)習(xí),后三個(gè)多月復(fù)習(xí)
采分割的方式復(fù)習(xí),
每天聽, 說(shuō), 讀, 寫都念一點(diǎn)
每天念書時(shí)間: 3小時(shí)
_____________________________________________________________________
聽
Campus talk 比較簡(jiǎn)單,我只復(fù)習(xí)長(zhǎng)篇聽力,由於長(zhǎng)篇聽力
老師都有檢討過(guò),因此復(fù)習(xí)時(shí),我就將不懂的專有名詞,單字,片語(yǔ)寫在一本小筆記本里,考前一兩周只要看這本筆記就好了
說(shuō)
老師上課時(shí)都會(huì)教答題的技巧,將五題的句型背好,平時(shí)多想第一,二題的答題內(nèi)容
每天挑一組考題的兩三題準(zhǔn)備,練習(xí)模擬當(dāng)天考試情形,可請(qǐng)朋友幫忙計(jì)時(shí)
讀
讀的部分要多作題目喔! Paraphrase的題目和最后的整合題要小心
可以在讀完一篇文章對(duì)內(nèi)容最深刻時(shí)先到最后面去答整合題
替代字是最好拿閱讀分?jǐn)?shù)的,如果同時(shí)在準(zhǔn)備GRE單字時(shí),會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)閱讀的替代字都很熟悉,沒(méi)有要考GRE的話,平時(shí)可以查托福同義字
寫
老師教的寫作模式和外面賣的參考書都大同小異
即使沒(méi)補(bǔ)習(xí),學(xué)校圖書館也可以借得到書
我推薦這本: 電腦考托福寫作突破
最后,我想分享準(zhǔn)備托福的心情: 積極,耐心,專心準(zhǔn)備 平常心看待挫折
