Zhejiang University English Language and Literature Postgraduate Entrance Examination Experience Sharing?

First,? Personal introduction

Bachelor degree 2 1 1 translation major, German as a second foreign language; In April of 2 1 year, I decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Because there are many courses in junior year, I have been preparing since the summer vacation in late July, but the efficiency at home is not high. It was not until I returned to school in early September that I officially entered the state of preparation for war. Although it landed, it was not an absolute high score. This article will summarize the experience and lessons.

Second,? Reasons for choosing a school

Why did you enter Zhejiang University? ① City: I have a deep sense of separation from first-tier cities and hope to settle in second-tier cities in the future. ② Examination questions: Most of the literature examination questions of Zhejiang University are subjective questions over the years. I think I may answer the subjective questions better than the objective questions and give full play to my advantages. Moreover, the examination questions of Zhejiang University cover a wide range, which meets my expectation of "becoming more knowledgeable" in preparing for the exam. Even if you don't pass the exam, you can accumulate a lot of knowledge in the process of preparing for the exam and improve your ability in all aspects, so you won't get nothing. 3 points: Zhejiang University gives points fairly, and it will not be unable to adjust because of too much pressure, and it will also reduce the troubles of retreat.

Third,? Preparation of specialized courses

British and American literature and linguistics;

The types of questions have changed a lot this year, and my own literature part is not very good. This year, literature accounted for 90 points and linguistics for 60 points, instead of 75 points in previous years; Question types include: noun explanation (5 literary linguistics, 6 points each), short answer (2 literary linguistics, each 15 points), discussion (literature, 30 points), attention should be paid to time planning, and enough time should be reserved for the big questions behind.

Literature:

Reflecting on my preparation experience, the main problem is that I don't pay enough attention to the history of literature, which has something to do with my major being not literature. In addition, I read the wrong questions in the examination room and planned my time badly, which led to my poor answer to the literature part.

It is suggested that students who want to take this major should read some literary works before preparing for the exam, which may not be particularly classic, but contemporary short stories can also be used, mainly to cultivate their literary interest and accomplishment, and to make sure that they really like/are suitable for this major before preparing for the exam. Next, sort out the history of literature. You don't need to sort it out the first time, because it is difficult to grasp the overall context if you are not familiar with the screenwriter. There is probably an outline, which can correspond to the status of each writer in the history of literature when reviewing it. Read two reference books 1-2 times. By reading the history of literature, you will have a deeper understanding and be easier to remember.

In previous years, we should test writers' works, noun explanations, selected works, poems and writers' comments. Although the types of questions have changed this year, short answer questions and essay questions still need to be written with examples, and the previous preparation can still be used. Refer to comments in the history of literature, questions after class, notes of senior sisters, etc. And I will directly mark my thoughts on reading. Personally, I'm not good at reciting. Literary criticism basically depends on understanding. I don't have much to recite, so I'm going to improvise. In fact, seeing a little clue can remember the impressive points. 1 1 began to sort out and recite noun explanations in the middle. At this time, I have a certain foundation of literary knowledge, a better understanding of nouns and terms, and less memory burden.

Information used:

Tao Jie, Selected Reading of American Literature; Selected readings of English literature in Wang Shouren —— These two books were bibliography given by Zhejiang University many years ago.

A new concise history of English literature; Shanghai Foreign Language Education Press; The history of American literature is a child's knowledge-look at other things in the history of literature.

Sort out and refine (literature) in Spark English Test Center-Personally, I think this book is too exam-oriented. The explanation of nouns can be referenced, but it is not very comprehensive and accurate. You'd better summarize and supplement it yourself.

Linguistics:

The linguistics part of literature major is relatively shallow, and I mainly use yule, a new concise version, Spark. Some expressions in the textbook are not up to date, but they are enough for the exam. In the early stage, I mainly read books, understand and supplement notes, and began to recite more professional expressions from June 5438+065438+ 10. Linguistics often has fewer knowledge points, so in the case of changing topics, linguistic scores can be used as the basic point.

Translation and writing:

I will practice Chinese-English+English-Chinese translation once a week after returning to school in September. I mainly practice literary translation and political translation, and also find some Chinese and English introductions related to Zhejiang human geography. Personally, the significance of translation examination for literature majors lies in training the ability to understand the original text, so thinking is more important than expression. First think clearly about the meaning of the original text and the author's intention, and then find a suitable expression to write.

What I wrote this year is translation review (similar to the composition of Grade 8 in previous years), which is quite unprepared. If you want to get a high score, you'd better combine translation theory and translation strategies to answer it. I didn't spend time on writing in the early stage. 65438+February began to read 1-2 and write articles every day. I haven't practiced writing. On the one hand, I don't have enough time to practice writing. On the other hand, I think translation and writing are interlinked in terms of diction and sentence making. Since I have practiced translation, I won't do repetitive work. Moreover, the difference between translation and writing is that translation generally conveys other people's ideas, while writing expresses one's own views, which are observed and thought out, not practiced. But if you have time, you'd better practice and get ready.

Translation writing, a highly subjective subject, may be difficult to show any "bright spots" with limited level, but it can minimize the loss of scores and avoid grammar and spelling mistakes.

Information used:

Eight words, eight translators and eight writers.

Notes on undergraduate translation course

Chen Gang Tourism English-Chinese Translation Course-mainly used to understand some translation strategies.

Catti's three practical books-I wanted to take three exams and practice translation, but I missed the registration time hhh.

A concise course of English-Chinese translation-classified by text type, with explanations after translation, is more friendly to learners.

Selected Prose of Zhang Peiji —— I read several essays in the first volume and found it a bit difficult. It is good to translate well, but because it is so good, it is difficult for me to imitate the ideas and expressions in it, and I have never read it since.

Excellent prose 108- it would have been easier.

Fourth,? Political preparation

Personally, I don't think it's worth spending too much time in politics. Everyone's scores are almost the same, so it is enough to ensure that this subject will not drag down.

Information used:

Xu Tao Intensive Class (Ma Yuan History Outline)+1000 Question

Leg sister skills class (I watched a little video at first, and then I watched some summary notes of bloggers on the Internet when I didn't have time)+Leg sister recited the booklet.

Xiao four shaw eight+various simulation volumes

I once saw a senior sister say that because there are many things to recite in the later stage of English language and literature, it's best to recite them when the first day of August comes out, otherwise it may be too late in the later stage. I didn't do this, because Xiao Ba has more things to recite than Xiao Si, which is very unfriendly to a person with a bad memory like me. When Xiao Si came out, Hachi almost forgot, which only increased the memory burden. But I am worried that Xiao Si can't recite it, so I will solve the opening report and daily homework as soon as possible before 65438+February, so that I can devote myself to the later sprint.

1. Planning for the whole political review stage:

In fact, it is just right to start reviewing in July and August. It's summer vacation. You are not familiar with politics. Flip through the books and look at the online classes to prepare for the formal preparation for the exam in September. September-165438+ 10 is an intensive stage. You should review your textbooks and exercises at least once. At this stage, you will make many mistakes and many theoretical deficiencies. Most of them need to be strengthened. 11-65438+February is the sprint stage. We should check and fill in the gaps in what we have learned as a whole. Besides, we should start to study subjective political issues. 12- Give priority to subjective questions before the exam, and do multiple-choice questions every day. If we can get rid of one shortcoming, we can make a lot of money. In addition, we should adjust our mentality and wait for the exam with peace of mind.

2. Analysis of political papers

After doing so many sets of questions, you will find that the multiple-choice question is actually the most important point. On the contrary, answering subjective questions well will not bring you much advantage, because everyone will write subjective questions in the examination room, and the points that they can't remember at ordinary times will be put on them, and everyone wants to answer them as decently as possible. Therefore, in the face of this situation, the reviewers are still more tolerant in giving points. As long as you touch some key points, they will give points more or less. ?

Senior sister suggested that if you are sure of the subjective questions, you'd better answer them point by point according to 1/2/3/4, which is more convenient for the reviewers to read (hello, she is not bad, too), and it also shows that you have a good grasp of your own knowledge. The more the full text covers, the more words and figures are full, which shows that such people are not confident and afraid of answering less/missing answers. In fact, the correct answer may be two paragraphs. You just need to find the right problem-solving points and write the answers clearly, which will save time and get high marks. It's important to get down to business.

Besides, you should practice your handwriting well. In the liberal arts exam, one is to examine your personal thinking logic+knowledge mastery, and the other is to examine your "facade"-handwriting. You don't need to write too well, even if it is clear and neat, it will give people a very pleasant feeling. So I found the "Hengshui style" copybook online at that time, and I practiced it for two weeks, which was very effective. This kind of characters not only saves time and money, but also saves time and money in recent years. After graduate school, a doctoral supervisor in Ma Yuan also explained the fun of calligraphy, so I always kept the habit of copying copybooks to kill time and cultivate sentiment. )

When it comes to multiple-choice questions, it actually completely determines the upper and lower limits of your score. At first, my average score in the model test stage was only 30+, sometimes less than 30. After calculating the total score, if I really pass the exam, it may be abolished ... so I will set a goal for myself in the future and rush to 40+. Only in this way can I keep this subject from falling behind, and the multiple-choice question score is 50, which shows that your tolerance is still very small. Look here. The ideal state of pre-test prediction is 40+ and 30+ for big questions. At that time, I felt that I was not sure about several multiple-choice questions, so I estimated that I should be able to get about 40 on the big questions. ?

In addition, many people have been paying attention to the information of online courses for postgraduate entrance examination in various subjects. Senior sister gives you the most pertinent advice. Don't spend too much money on it blindly when you are a freshman, because there are many free postgraduate materials that are not worse than those!

Verb (short for verb)? Germany is ready

I didn't get very high in the German exam either, but fortunately I didn't drag my feet too much. When I was a sophomore and a junior, I studied German seriously and had a certain foundation. In the early stage, I mainly read the text, recite words, do after-school exercises, sketch better sentences in the text, and read the sketched parts every 2-3 days (in fact, memorizing the text may be better, but I didn't insist, because I really can't recite). During this period, I sorted out common grammar points and read and supplemented unfamiliar contents in time; About 65438+ 10 began to do the problem in late October. 165438+ 10 wrote a composition on a common topic while reviewing the text.

There are fewer students who do take the German exam, and the experience and materials they can refer to are limited. However, based on English learning and learning step by step, they can also find out the rules of language learning, and it will not be particularly difficult to go abroad for inspection. For the exam, it is almost enough to understand the basic knowledge points in the textbook.

22-year question types: single choice (20 sentences), gestalt 1, reading 1 (10 choice), noun conversion verb (10 sentence), Chinese-German translation (5 sentences, 3 points each), German-Chinese translation (one chapter).

2 1 year: about 20 single choice, 10/ 15 preposition, word selection, gerund transformation, 2 short translation, composition.

20 years: 20 points for multiple-choice questions, 65,438+00 points for gerund exchange, 65,438+00 points for prepositions, 65,438+06 points for reading, 2 points for German-Chinese translation of five sentences, 65,438+05 points for German-Chinese translation of paragraphs and 65,438+000 words for composition.

Looking back on the whole preparation process, I am actually very happy every day-because I can really concentrate on learning what I want to learn, and I can really feel progress bit by bit. It can be said that the months of postgraduate entrance examination were the happiest period in my four years as an undergraduate.
