目标: 100+, 能上110更好

目前基础:
昨天自测了一下TPO34, 听力20分,阅读20分,所以任重道远。

这周的主要任务想了想还是规划:

1. 从现在到今年年底主攻听力和阅读。
2. 顺序是先阅读后听力,但是听力每天要做精听或者泛听
3. 单词跟着,单词一直是我的硬伤,所以这半年也突破一下。

8月21日打卡

这两天做的事情:
1. 背单词:
每天238个吧,用的小站的精简核心包,一共2602个,预计在8月31日前扫完。昨天和今天的任务已完成,来打个卡

2.听力:
每天早上出门前半精听TPO1的听力+泛听TED
说是半精听是因为并没有完全放在那里,还是在尽量集中注意力听,虽然经常会走神(因为要一边洗漱化妆什么的)。我不太清楚自己的听力现在是个什么情况,所以先试着适应一下。今天听TPO1的对话比昨天好很多。再适应几天,这周末做个听写吧。

今天听力打卡:
TPO 1的第一个对话听了4遍,第二篇文章听了2遍
TED 听了一篇

3.阅读:
本来阅读应该是我的强项的,但是周末做的实在很伤。所以所以要重新捡一下。
打算晚上回家的时候:做一下长难句然后再看看语法。

未完成

顺便想问问有没有推荐比较好的讲英语学习方法和语法的资料/书什么的啊~~~

建议减少泛听的时间, 增加精听的时间. ( 是找一段连续时间认真投入去听, 包括感情和理解)  泛听不是提升英语听力的途径, 尤其对于英语没有达到接近母语的水平.

你的问题很泛额. 各人基础不同可以自己去知乎看下适合自己的英语学习方法书

嗯嗯,谢谢斑竹建议。泛听确实不是提升英语的方法,我现在泛听是为了找一下感觉,练一下耳朵。加上现在能用的时间确实少~~周末打算用上次做的惨不忍睹的听力来做一下精听。

单词任务:完成
又加了扇贝的100个单词。 实话说觉得扇贝的背单词比小站的还是好用,我觉得还是比较人性化的,利于背诵。小站的单词总有一种背着背着就开始记形的感觉。

1-2个月对我来说应该是不够的~~~年龄大了专注力和记忆力都不如前了,而且现在每天的学习时间其实都不算多。(有种倚老卖老的感觉怎么回事。。。。)

要补的东西还是有点多,而且我确实是希望能够通过这次托福考试能全面提升一下自己的英语。时间放长一点我反而有种安全感。主要怕自己坚持不下来,所以开个帖子,当作每天一项任务督促自己。

总之一起加油吧!!!

单词完成了

听力听了TPO的第一篇lecture, 觉得lecture效果果然不如对话,有几个问题:
1. 有点容易走神。
2. 容易把注意力过多放在单词上,就忽略句子和段落的意思,所以再听的时候要先注意大方向
3. 遇到熟悉发音但不能反应出来意思的单词容易卡住 (由此可见单词渣)

目前思考的解决办法
1. 走神这个试着用精听练吧。。。
2. 先听大方向,把握意思,再逐句和逐词听
3. 背单词以及熟悉单词发音。。。
4. 跟读跟读跟读

先列一下,等我练习一段时间之后再反馈

欢迎讨论欢迎讨论。

阅读昨天没做,叹气。。。

8月26日听写
tpo34的最后一篇lecture
上周日做的时候错了两道题

今天找出来做了一下听写:
方法:
1)精听一遍记笔记,然后复述
2)听写
3)精听一遍
4)改正听写
5)精听+跟读
6)题目分析

第一步到第四步:

第一遍:

大概意思:

商业管理课,讨论了s曲线,老师先让一个女同学回忆了s曲线,就是新产品的开始,没什么人注意,然后慢慢增长,然后吸引了大量的市场和用户,然后到了右边,开始逐渐减退。这时老师说到了成熟期,这个时候就要选择是继续坚持这个old and safe的商业方案,还是冒险做一些改变。 然后说到这样的改变是很有风险的。这时候用了一个例子,老师问男同学是不是去干了什么忘记了但是跟爵士乐有关的,然后提到了milles davis(大概这么拼)的一个爵士乐专辑, kind of blue,然后说这是她也最喜欢的,提到了md这个人在1950年非常大胆的推出了这个专辑,男同学说这个专辑和md之前的曲风完全不一样,md曲风之前是比较复杂的,让人很难接近。但是kind of blue却很simple。说刚开始的时候人们对于这张专辑很失望甚至愤怒, 但是后来这个专辑却吸引了更多的人当爵士乐手。然后老师就说从这个例子能看出来什么。另一个女同学说这就是和s曲线相对应的,之前的爵士就是保守的老的,但是已经有一定市场。(大概是这样说的吧)md的kind of blue就是冒险然后以全新的方式进入了s曲线的新产品期,然后逐渐发展。

之后老师又提了一个问题,就是之前讲的是一个single performer的事情,但是男同学说并不是,爵士乐是一群人一起演奏的,还有钢琴什么的。然后老师说,好,那md是怎么把这些乐手结合起来的呢。男同学说,他首先跟每个人沟通他们的乐器,然后让他们自己发挥,但是把曲调固定在某一个调上(反正就是有个大方向),然后老师又详细解释了下这个。

另外男同学说爵士乐手之间是要相互配合的,比如有人进旋律进早了,其他人就会跟上调整,这样就听不出来错误了。老师说这就是business parellel什么的

后面两段听的不太好。

听写:

Last week we were talking about innovation in business.  Remember the graph I showed you?

The curve that looks(looked) sort of like the letter S?

Right Cafii(Cathy), let’s take another look.

Do you recall, Cathy, how this S curve represents the life circle of innovation?

Sure, starting on the left, the new innovation, eh, let’s say it is a new product, almost nobody has heard of it or at least nobody takes it seriously.

Then its populary(popularity) increase, slowly at first, till sales really start celerating (accelerating) quickly

There was (They are where) the line goes up steeply in the middle as more and more people(去掉) get excited about the product and they go out and buy it

But eventually moving over to the right side there, interest begins to fade and the growth of(and) sales levels off
At which point the market has matured for that product

We can still sell it, and even marginally improve it. but it’s not new anymore.

It no longer offers exciting growth of(去掉) opportunities

So a business leader might face a choice, either stick with this old safe proven idea or move on to the next big idea, a fresh innovation.

But innovations are risky.

They may succeed or they may not.

OK, a case study.

George. I have heard your Thursday night program on the campus radio station.  You like Jazz, right?

ah, yes,(Huh?! Uh…Yeah…) sure, but why….

OK, stay with me here.

On your program last week, I heard an old Miles Davis album. Tell us about that.

Uh, Miles Davis, champion(Trumpet), I  played the(a) CD of jazz class(classic) he recorded at 1950s, called kind of blue

It’s my all time favorite jazz recording

Mine too. Would you call that recording innovative for its time?

Absolutely, nothing at all like what he had recorded up till then.   I mean, before that Miles Davis played things so complex that… well… nobody could touch him. But this was something totally new.  Some his plays(playing) sounded so amazingly simple.

And how did people react to this new song of Milles Davis.

Well, some were disappointed, even angry, that he’d abandoned his old style. But soon most of his fans came around and this new style appealed to a whole new group of jazz listeners

I guess so

Kind of blue became the most commercially successful album in the history of Jazz

So is there a lesson here anyone?

Think of that S curve I showed you.

Oh, so his old style of jazz was actually a kind of product, one it(that) has been developed pretty thoroughly.

And he has(had) taken it about as far as he could

So he decided to take a big risk and tried something totally new.

Exactly, something completely fresh and cool, and people couldn’t get enough of it.

It was a brand new beginning that left lots of room for further development artistically.

And as a market analyst, you could say that with kind of blue, he was jumping to the beginning of a brand new S curve.  Without(With all) that potential for profitable development  still ahead of him.

But let me ask you something else.

This isn’t just the music for a single performer, is it George?

Partly(Hardly), more like a group of all stars. Along with Mille Davis on Trumppy(trumpet)?(跟上一个一样) , there is Bill Evans on piano and  John Taineron(Coltrane) on tenor saxophone.

Individually perhaps the best in the business.

But thinking of Milles Davis as the leader of this group, how did he organize and manage all these incredible talent.

Well, he’d lay out the general outline, the scene(theme), and then give each of these star performers ,one by one, the creative freedom to really show what they  could do with it on their own instrument, to improvise  and add something new, but always in(within) the same general scene(theme).

So Miles Davis gets credit for recruiting the best jazz talent anywhere, and  getting them to collaborate on a fantastic musical product

Everyone see the business parallels here?

And giving(give) each of these musicians credit for seeing(seizing) the (this) opportunity and creating great individual performances, but good jazz is more than just outstanding individuals performances,   isn’t  it

Definitely, Jazz musicians need to listen to each other and go with the flow.

Like, one time somebody grooved (goofe) in(去掉)and came into (in) a littler early, but everyone else adjusted it(and went) right along with it,  as there was(if) nothing were wrong.

And this mistake came out like just another unexpected creative potation(interpretation)

Thanks George, Great insights.   Once (ones) that I was (would) certainly apply to what we study in here.
