Second,? Reasons for choosing a school

School of Communication and Design, Sun Yat-sen University, was founded in 2003, with "humanistic new media and communication" as its discipline orientation, and formed the school-running characteristics of "based on general education, centered on creative education and focused on practical teaching". Guided by the Marxist view of journalism, the college is committed to cultivating propagandists, disseminators and advocates of socialist core values around the talent training goal of "having both ability and political integrity, taking the lead and feeling for home and country". Cultivate journalists and communication managers who have firm Marxist beliefs, adhere to the correct direction, carry forward social progress, and master the mainstream discourse power. The college advocates the teaching concept of "training, practice and experiment", and has built laboratory clusters such as documentary photography laboratory, big data communication laboratory and interactive media design center, as well as practical platforms such as Guhe Media, Guhe Youth Space and Gonghe Communication Studio. It has a provincial experimental demonstration teaching center, which is the training base of excellent journalism and communication talents in Guangdong Province.

The college offers journalism and communication majors, all of which have been selected as national first-class undergraduate majors in the "Double Million Plan". He holds a master's degree in journalism and communication, a master's degree in design art and a doctorate in political communication. Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Public Opinion Big Data and Simulation Analysis, Guangdong Provincial Key Research Base of Social Sciences, Guangzhou Key Research Base of Big Data and Public Communication, and Guangzhou Key Base of Young Marxist Theory Talents Training have been established. It plays an important role in national high-end think tanks such as Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Development Research Institute of Sun Yat-sen University and National Governance Research Institute of Sun Yat-sen University, focusing on interdisciplinary research such as digital news research, big data and public communication, visual communication and interaction design. Editor-in-chief's China News Annual Observation Report, Internet and State Governance Annual Report, and Humanities New Media series have extensive influence.

Third,? Preparation of specialized courses

Sun Yat-sen doesn't test history, and the overall test style is the application of knowledge, but this doesn't mean that you don't need to recite, and you can apply knowledge only after you have a certain foundation. In addition, the two majors in Zhongshan are quite special and the exams are very complicated. Reference books almost only play the role of short answer questions and noun explanation. The following recommended books, bold is a must! It should be noted that for me personally, this book list can be selected according to my own situation. Some books may not be useful for the exam, but it is still very helpful for grasping the whole subject.

Preliminary test list:

Journalism: Introduction to Journalism (Li Liangrong), Ten Lectures on Journalism Theory (Chen Lidan), 20 17 Annual Report of China Journalism (Zhang Zhian), Introduction to New Media (Shi Lei), Ten Basic Principles of Journalism (Bill kovac), New Media and Public Opinion: Twelve Key Issues (Zhang Zhian).

Communication: Communication Course (Guo), Paradigm and School (), Introduction to Communication, Introduction to Network Communication (), Milestone of Mass Communication Effect Research (Sharon A. Lowery), Communication History (Rogers), Handbook of Western Communication Academic History (Hu Yiqing).

Journalism Practice: Ten Lectures on Critical Writing (Cao Lin), In-depth Reporting: Theory, Practice and Cases (Zhang Zhian) I read it when I was a freshman, but I didn't read it again when I took the postgraduate entrance examination, which is still very helpful for writing reviews. The in-depth report of this book is helpful to answer some practical questions, and the book is also very easy to read ~ take some notes combined with real questions, such as the management of news sources.

Visual Communication: Introduction to Visual Communication (Ren Yue) Some basic knowledge points are combined with real questions to take notes. HowNet searches for "visual communication" and reads related papers.

Public service communication: the power of expression (Zeng) This is a very interesting book. This paper discusses how non-profit organizations and media compete with politics and capital in the environment of China. In fact, it may not be very helpful for the exam. Ceng Laoshi no longer works in Zhongshan, but it is still worth reading. In addition, it is also HowNet's search for "public welfare communication" and reading related papers.

Government communication: the relationship between the government and the public (Liao) and government communication (Lang Jinsong, Hou Yuejuan) I found this book only during the second interview. The author and editor are both teachers of Sun Yat-sen University! You must enter! But this book has not been published yet, so it can only be bought in the library or second-hand. In addition, HowNet searches for "government communication" and reads related papers.

Corporate Communication: Public Relations (Zhang Kefei)

Social research methods: the milestone of mass communication effect research (Sharon A. Loweree) and Introduction to Mass Communication Research Methods (Yang Chen) Social research methods are the focus of Zhongshan, which is more difficult for my liberal arts students ... My method is mainly to take notes on the research methods of mass communication in combination with real questions, and write down the research methods used in Sun Yat-sen University teachers' papers as templates, which can be applied to other research programs that need our design.

Fourth,? Political preparation

In March, I bought Xiao Xiurong's+1000 topic and political outline analysis (also called Little Red Book). Read a chapter every day, and then sit on the corresponding 1000 question. After the outline of the Ministry of Education came out, I read the outline chapter by chapter every day. In fact, it is a process of getting familiar with the content of political review. Basically, except for political economy, there is no big problem. 1000 The wrong points in the question are painted in fluorescent strokes on the outline of the Ministry of Education and often read.

Political economy is really a headache. At that time, under the recommendation of my friend, I went to see Xu Tao's video in the mile mile. Just search Xu Tao politics. I only read the part of political economy once, twice, once when I first came into contact with the part of political economy, once when the outline and intensive reading class had been brushed, and 1000 had been brushed, so I read it again when I felt that I still didn't understand this part.

From September to June 1 1, the above things are done repeatedly. After June 1 1 and February 1, many teachers began to write prediction papers. Buy all the newspapers in the market. Including the real questions of previous years, Xiao Xiurong has 8 volumes, Xiao Xiurong has 4 volumes, Ren Rufen has 4 volumes and Mi Peng has 3 volumes. (Be sure to pay attention to the delivery time, and ask the seller to deliver the paper as soon as it is published. ) I only made multiple-choice questions on these papers. For most questions, only small 8 read the answers, and Xiao 4 memorized all the answers in the last ten days.

In the month of 65438+February, we still need to pay attention to current events. I bought Xiao Xiurong's Situation and Policy, read the hot current affairs in the book, and then brushed multiple-choice questions+answers (which can be completed in an hour or two). After reading the wrong place several times, you can basically win the multiple-choice question on current affairs.

Overall feeling: I am a liberal arts student ~ In fact, I didn't pay much attention to politics, and I once felt that I could only get 60+. 50 points for multiple-choice questions and 50 points for subjective questions. At that time, I only got 30/32 answers to multiple-choice questions, so it should be that the marking teacher should not deduct points from subjective questions, and Guangzhou should not deduct points (students in Beijing, Jiangsu, Shanghai and other places should not look at my political experience). I really felt that I was dying politically. Most of the topics in the examination room are fancy copying materials and fancy praising our party. Every year from 65438+February, there are all kinds of rumors that Xiao Si was seen by the proposer this year, so Xiao Si's question will not appear in the test paper. In fact, Xiao Xiurong still got a few questions in the prediction ~ Steady your mind, recite Xiao Si well, brush the 1000 question well+read the outline, and there will be no big problem with political questions ~

Verb (short for verb)? English preparation

In March, I bought He's Long and Difficult Sentences and He's Word Book. Long and difficult sentences must be carefully studied, which is helpful for later reading. As for the word book, at first I read the words carefully and carefully analyzed the example sentences of the words in it. I think it's too inefficient in the later stage. I switched to memorizing words with the mobile APP. I used scallops, and all my friends around me recited words and little red books. In fact, all the software is similar. Just use a word book that you like, stick to one, punch in every day, get into the habit, and stick to it for more than n days and you will have a sense of accomplishment. I copied all the words in the word book into my notebook, copied the meaning of each word, and then added the words I didn't understand when doing the real questions. My notebook is getting thicker and richer. Besides scallops punching in, I recite a word every day.

After April, I bought all kinds of real questions, including Zhang Jian's Yellow Book (05- 17), Chen Zheng Kang Chao's intensive reading (94-04) and the truth of postgraduate entrance examination (05- 17). In fact, there is basically no difference between various real questions, and you can buy any one you want. I only brushed the real questions from 94-04 once. The real question of 05- 15 was probably repeated four or five times, and the mock exam of 15- 17 was kept. ?

The following is mainly about how I brush the real questions repeatedly. The first time you read it, you may make many mistakes, or you may be right, but it doesn't mean anything. Do a reading question+answer every day, try to analyze the structure of each sentence clearly, then translate the whole article into Chinese and write it manually, don't stay in your head. This is also a way of translating problems. Compare and modify your own translation with the translation of the answer, and then copy the beautiful sentence patterns in the question into your notebook for writing. Then recite the reading questions on the second and third days, and recite the whole reading, so you can finish reading one in about two or three days. The process is slow, but there is relatively enough time in the early stage, so you can lay a good foundation ~ recite it repeatedly and brush it several times. At that time, many people asked me if I would remember the answer after doing it so many times. I really don't remember, but in fact, the latter brushes pay more attention to the understanding of the whole article and sentence structure. I always feel that I can't understand the reading questions after I finish them, but I don't know why I only make one or two mistakes every time, so brushing the real questions really has a cumulative effect ~

In addition to reading, there are translation questions, new questions and compositions. As mentioned above, you can train translation questions when translating reading questions. The new question type is really a headache. My new question type this year should be 0 or 2, just practicing with real questions during the preparation period. There is a lot of room for writing. He used Kevin's composition book. Recite each type of small composition, and recite several types and templates for large composition. If you start writing more articles within the specified time, you can use all kinds of sentence patterns and templates you have accumulated flexibly, and the problem is not big.

Overall feeling: I just passed CET-6, but actually CET-6 is completely different from postgraduate English. It can be said that there is basically no plus or minus points. English is a slow process. If you get 985, I think 70+ in English is necessary. If there are sophomores and freshmen, I really, really suggest taking IELTS. When I was planning to take the postgraduate entrance examination, the undergraduate teacher also asked me to take the IELTS test. I don't care ... good English is an advantage. At that time, Zhongshan re-examination interview temporarily added oral English (Zhongshan had no oral English in previous years). I didn't understand what the teacher said at all, and I was forced to answer. After the answer, the teacher said, "You did well in the postgraduate English exam." I feel as if I have saved a little poor spoken English here. In addition, excellent English for postgraduate entrance examination is also very helpful for adjustment, because the grading standards of major universities are inconsistent and politics has little reference ability for scientific research, so English has become a very important reference subject.

Sixth,? other

About the paper:

Papers must be highly valued! ! In addition, CUHK often takes teachers' papers as exam topics. ?

First of all, CUHK's associate professors and professors' papers in recent years should be carefully read, which is extremely important within one year! Take Mr. Zhi 'an as an example. You can even try to write down Mr. Zhi 'an's paper. The last topic of this year's freshman year is Teacher Zhi 'an's thesis. It is not required to remember every article, but it is particularly important to publish it in important journals, close to the examination date and so on.

Secondly, due to time constraints, it is impossible to read all the papers in the journal. Try to measure the importance of different papers. For example, when Mr. Zhang Zhian was studying in Fudan, he read the papers of Fudan teachers, such as Mr. Lu Ye, Mr. Li Liangrong and Mr. Huang Dan. You will find that their papers will have some connection with Mr. Zhang Zhian, and these teachers' papers will certainly be paid attention to by Mr. Zhang Zhian.

Third, I will read a paper almost every day during the preparation period, take notes, summarize the core ideas of the paper, and how to prove it. This way is to strengthen your ability of expression and discussion, and it is also convenient to read it when you need to read it again.

Finally, journals are recommended: journalists, journalism, news and communication reviews, news lovers, international journalism, modern communication and journalism universities.

On the real question:

There is no doubt about the importance of the real question. The real questions of Sun Yat-sen University can be downloaded in official website, but it doesn't seem to be available online in 2000. Students in need can also contact me ~?

Try to classify real questions, such as control research, content research, research methods, etc. Every time I review a lesson, I go to see the real question. I began to do real questions in September, and wrote them directly on my printed answer sheet to train the feeling and format of writing questions. Later, I will write the whole real test paper directly for three hours. I have basically written all the questions. If there are students who need answers to real questions, you can contact me, but my answers are not necessarily correct, and there will be no standard answers for liberal arts answers.

I still don't believe that I was admitted to Sun Yat-sen University. I have touched the transfer letter and the political review letter many times. Now that I think about it, everything is like a dream. I really hope that every hard-working classmate will feel the feeling of tears of joy when he sees being admitted in the future. Then at the request of a fellow researcher: I hope that Chen Neng, who just finished the interview yesterday, will go ashore smoothly, hahaha! ! Finally, it is not easy for the process to be tortuous, but it is not as difficult as expected. Anyway, come on ~
