| i took gre course in the new oriental school this summer, soon after all the mess in beijing come to the end, i registered the toefl exam. it's about less than 2 months before the final exam. i'm a little bit frustrated. anyway,known one of my best pals will take it too,i calm down a little. thanks to the new oriental ,I got all the real exam matirials in hand, and i begin to scrach on the ones before 1995's. here's my schedual: morning, get up at 6-7 reading follow the tapes of hearing exams. take a seat and do grammar stuff(take reference of neworiental's "notes of grammer") at noon, read some novels,newspapers(englishweekly is my favorite) and mag.in english while appreciating english songs(country music ). afternoon, hearing exam,all together 3-4 pieces. for about 3hours,coz u have to check them out and do each at least 3 times. night, a section of grammer and reading,and then take an entire examination. --------------- last 3 weeks spend both morning and evening with an entire examination,afternoon----hearing as before. (according to me,hearing is my shortcoming) -------------- last 3 days try to ease myself-----fiddle about at evening,and caught by the dorm keeper one day,anyway,i got what i need:relax~~~~~~~ -------------- last day go over all the mistakes i've made again, and companied with classics music,which benefit a lot to one's tight nerves. --------------- about twe i recommend new concept english----4,which can be a good sourse of ur words and excellent sentenses. --------------------- final exam coffee with piece of cake is my breakfast---i found myself hardly eat much as before,god bless me,may the exam a piece of cake to me|~~~ 8:00i get in the spot,and found my seat. i breathe deeply,hoping i can relax more,and i made it. after a long and boring form-filling, the exam begin, first twe: topic,which one u agree to contribute more to the society,artists or scientists-----i choose artists for my own sake:i love art. and i set chopin and monet as examples,hope those checker in the same wavelength. (most of others choose scientists and put it in a politic and HIGHway. but mine is much like the castal in the air,anyway,hope they are not that stick to the mud. second section---hearing: at first 20 Qs,i have the confidence to do a perfect job.but from 23 or 24 on to 30.things seems go the other way arround.luckily,sectionC is easier than before.all in all,hearing is not bad to me. third---grammar: i never can get any sense out of grammar,so----i can say nothing but it works the normal way,there's neither puzzlements nor easy passthrough.just those we can bump into the practice before 2000. last----reading: that's really a great hit to me at first,though the first program is about music(i'm a music fan),i found the answer is not that clear as before, and i waste10-15 min. on it,which made the later work harder, so i try mybest to do them rapidly,following is the summary of them. *ants and termites,why they survive for so long a time. *industry revolution of extention of the outworking principle. *glacial formation *publication in colonial american,pamphlet or somthing i got 10 minuts left and i go over my answers again and correct 3 of them. ------------ ending: a girl didn't finish and cried(i mean she really cried)for time extention.but----failed,she shouted at the last minuts that she've taken toefl for 3 times,and obviously,another failure. -------------- my friends took host of me and i still got no appetite . go back dorm,after clear my massy tables,i forced one of my roomate to go out for a little movie----i have to take a rest. i wake up after a seemingly endlessly dream. to tell the truth,i do miss the days when i fighting aginst toefle. i hate to leave IT all in a sudden,come on,stop laughing----i really mean it. good bye toefle,and wish every toe-fighter a good luck. |
