我如何准备托福
准备时间: 半年
准备方法: 前三个月补习,后三个多月复习
采分割的方式复习,
每天听, 说, 读, 写都念一点
每天念书时间: 3小时
_____________________________________________________________________
听
Campus talk 比较简单,我只复习长篇听力,由於长篇听力
老师都有检讨过,因此复习时,我就将不懂的专有名词,单字,片语写在一本小笔记本里,考前一两周只要看这本笔记就好了
说
老师上课时都会教答题的技巧,将五题的句型背好,平时多想第一,二题的答题内容
每天挑一组考题的两三题准备,练习模拟当天考试情形,可请朋友帮忙计时
读
读的部分要多作题目喔! Paraphrase的题目和最后的整合题要小心
可以在读完一篇文章对内容最深刻时先到最后面去答整合题
替代字是最好拿阅读分数的,如果同时在准备GRE单字时,会发现阅读的替代字都很熟悉,没有要考GRE的话,平时可以查托福同义字
写
老师教的写作模式和外面卖的参考书都大同小异
即使没补习,学校图书馆也可以借得到书
我推荐这本: 电脑考托福写作突破
最后,我想分享准备托福的心情: 积极,耐心,专心准备 平常心看待挫折
