本周小结周四——周日

1.红宝书任务完成的很好，虽然很费时间，但是还是想坚持，与其记五十篇，不如先扎扎实实记一遍

2.填空单词的任务没有完成，嗯，这个任务可以调整一下不用每个词都仔细查找，因为这部分工作包含在红宝书里面了

3.阅读集中突破的任务，只完成了首段，首句，内容展开的部分 突破，没有完成选项 题干 的集中突破

这四天花在GRE上面的时间还算较多，专业课没有怎么管，但是完成情况不理想，嗯，调整一下，
（1）早上起的太晚 8点，嗯，如果提前1.5h, 就能有很多时间背单词，嗯，不要赖床啦，hoho~~~~~~~,监督自己
（2）背单词的方法有点笨，不过还是要坚持，下阶段要提高效率，2小时解决4list，1h-1.5h 查自己看红包书看不懂的单词（每天晚上 10：00——11：30）

加油加油，很少完成过自己设定的计划，所以，希望这样开贴子来监督自己
