How long does it take to prepare for the CET-4?

Review process

It's best to look at high-frequency words and phrases first, so that you don't have to memorize them deeply.

Don't carry the CET-4 dictionary on your back. You can't recite a white back and forget it quickly.

Reciting sentences is interesting but not boring.

Then keep reading exercises.

Listening began to practice after May, and after finishing a short period every night, I read the materials carefully by myself.

Keep a complete set of questions every two days in June.

Answer skills (for reference only)

1, listening, there are three kinds of questions, dialogue (ten dialogues), short essays (three short essays) and compound dictation (that is, the legendary paragraph questions). The first one is compulsory every year, and the latter two alternate year by year, among which the number of short essays is relatively large.

Conversations and essays are the easiest to score, just remember a super skill: things mentioned in conversations always develop in a bad direction. Give a few examples: For example, is it difficult to ask the professor questions in the conversation? It must be hard to remember. There is not much homework assigned by the teacher, but there must be a lot. Will this lady agree to the invitation? Never, always an invitation from an idiot buddy. Mary was invited and asked if we were good at swimming, skating, dancing and eating. Mary's answer is always, I really want to go, but. So remember, as long as it's a conversation, accidents will happen. For another example, there are two choices: train A is on time and train B is late. If you are a topic teacher, how do you set up the dialogue? Of course it's late. What's there to say about punctuality? You can't have two mental disorders, or two people just fell in love and came to the station, so the man said, wow, the train is on time, and the woman said, "That's on time! So punctuality is impossible, and bad things are usually the final answer! For compound dictation, I was lucky not to take this exam last semester, but I think this kind of question is really difficult and I can only listen with my ears upright. Even if you don't understand, guess one from the context. If I leave it empty, I won't get any points. If I guess the teacher is wrong, I'll give you a point!

2, reading, this is the focus of our exam, the level of reading questions directly affects whether you can pass. Here I will talk about each question type. According to my occasional observation, the places that must be tested every year are enumerated, that is, places with first, sceond and additional, places with examples and metaphors, that is, places with as, for example, how many?

2) The meaning expressed in the options is more specific, that is, a longer sentence is generally not an answer but a summary, and abstraction is the answer.

3) Those with absolute modal particles such as must, never and simply are not the correct answers, but those with uncertain modal particles such as could, possible and possible are the correct answers.

Second, the meaning and semantic judgment questions are often tested by nouns and polysemous phrases that refer to the semantic functions of the upper and lower questions. In addition, complex sentences are often used as a means to test their comprehension ability because of the complex relationship between sentences. As long as you remember a rule, the meaning of the option is very superficial, similar to the meaning of the tested word, and generally not the answer.

Three reasoning questions, with the following skills,

1) If you want to infer a paragraph, you just need to look at the paragraph that the stem asks for an answer.

2) tentative and not absolute modal particles, such as tendency and deviation. It's usually the answer.

3) Common sense logic is usually the answer, such as why China is poor because of its large population and why Americans are fat because they eat too much KFC and McDonald's).

The four main ideas and attitudes are relatively difficult, and the score is not very high. Don't mind too much even if you don't do well. Even in an emergency, I only read the first and last paragraphs of these two questions, and then I chose them quickly. In fact, the final effect is not bad, and I got more than 200 points in reading!

3, vocabulary, for this kind of topic, see my blog, go back and throw away those books such as vocabulary series memory, spark memory, black and white memory, pedigree memory, serial memory and so on. , or give it away, or keep it well, sell it to freshmen who are not sensible next year, or take it to cushion the corner of the table. Many ways! I think memorizing words is a very disproportionate practice between input and output, and it is extremely ignorant and superstitious! That's what I did back then. Two days before the exam (don't be too early, or you will forget), I browsed the four phrases at the back of the textbook. In the exam, as long as there are words or phrases in the textbook in the options, don't hesitate to choose her! I also want to remind you, don't waste too much time on 30 vocabulary questions, because each question has only 0. 5 points, and reading, a 2 points, save reading time! At that time, I used the even number method plus the probability 1/4, and finally the comprehensive item (including cloze) got more than 100.

4, cloze and short answer questions, these two questions are also alternating year by year, of which the probability of the former is much greater than the latter. If you encounter cloze, you should be glad that she is the easiest to count in the whole CET-4. I didn't even read the questions at that time. I didn't start reading the cards blindly until the bell rang at the end of the exam. I was sitting in the last row when the female teacher came to see me. At this moment, I drew all the questions. Everyone who has participated in the college entrance examination knows that it may take more than two reading questions to do a cloze, but what about the score? I believe everyone knows what they are doing. Fortunately, every question in CET-4 is only 0. 5 points, even a real expert will not exceed your 5 points on this question, but it takes about 30 times as long as you (I only used 18 seconds before and after doing this question). I always think that for cloze, the real intention of the proposer is not to test your knowledge level, but to test whether you can arrange your time reasonably!

If you are unfortunate enough to meet short answer questions, to be honest, I don't have a good solution. Although this kind of problem is rare in a thousand years, I think it is the most advanced and difficult problem in Band 4. The questioner must be from another planet! If you are interested in this kind of problem, you can try it. If you really can't do it, you're in trouble! There is a saying in the university: in life, no one has stepped on a stool several times!

5, writing, I think this is the easiest problem to deal with, but also the most worthy of scoring!

It only takes 9 seconds before the exam, that is, it is possible to get a good score of 9 or more (full score 100). I just recited two difficult classic sentence patterns before the exam. I try to use one at the beginning of the exam, one at the end of the exam, and then the rest, either freely, or write some English lyrics I like (note that it is not pinyin), or write funny sentences in Li Yang's crazy English.

Don't doubt my practice. Now let me analyze the reason why this method is feasible: when marking papers, every teacher will have a large stack of papers on his desk, far exceeding your review materials for the college entrance examination. Think about it, as long as it is an individual, who will have the patience to read so many English articles carefully? In addition, the general judgment takes place in summer, the weather is sultry and you are upset. Every day, you are locked in a cabin to read our boring and low-level articles, and you are not allowed to surf the Internet or go to QQ. Therefore, when judging a paper, we usually only look at the opening and closing sentences, and then generally look at whether the number of words is enough. Some teachers who fall in love are in a good mood, and they also find wrong words. In order to prevent this, I remind you that our goal is not to write a shocking article, but to try not to say a wrong word or write a wrong word within 30 minutes. In short, our goal is-no tooth decay! ! Furthermore, when writing a composition, it is best to use a black pen instead of other colors, especially a ballpoint pen. In addition, we must pay attention to the neatness of writing. It is said that most marking teachers are recent, sensitive and used to black. The same is true of writing. The neater he writes, the clearer he sees and the better his mood, the higher our score will be! It took me eight minutes to finish this problem, but my writing score was 80 (out of 7 10)!

Good luck! !
