1006G『Dream with Sazerac组』By Rafael——多年未食肉，就想杀只鸡

rafaelUID: 2702393

好忐忑呀好忐忑
这是备考的第一篇日记，希望也会是个新的开始。
今天刚刚收到ETS寄的样题，恍惚才知道原来还真是没有多久就要考试了。作文定在2月25日，还有一点时间，现在才开始背了8个LIST，还有好多好多的。不过既然决定要杀这只鸡，就要把刀磨好了。
周五的健康操比赛耗费了太多精力，早点结束，也就彻底告别这个学校的舞台了。
今天刚刚把前面8个LIST重新看一遍，又忘记了不少，单词就是个反复反复再反复的过程吧。什么时候单词能让我感觉幸福呢？不如还是让红包感觉每天被我摸是幸福的吧。
草木留的作业要使劲补，三次作业呀，好多好多，肯定我在做作业的时候新的作业又出来了:funk::funk:
写写写，背背背
再念叨一次我的宣言：
多年未食肉，就想杀只鸡！

赶在今天快要结束前写下第二篇备考日志
花了3个小时背了两个LIST又把前面的单词全部打乱顺序看了一遍，前摄后摄的影响还是很严重的，仿佛只有在红包里我才认识这个词，出来了就什么都不记得了。
昨天晚上把草木第一次文法作业都打印下来慢慢的看。可惜速度有点慢，才看完4讲……还要继续努力啊~~~
刚刚把看了一下第二次的作业，估计明天就能做完，只要明天比赛完了以后大家不要去聚餐就行了……可是，这是多么不现实的事情呢？？
虽然只有两天，但是开了备考日志以后，有了鞭策，要每天都有点进步，每天都有点收获，起码每天都要背背单词……
OH 继续补第一次的作业……
第四次的作业都已经出来，而且草木说这是补作业的倒数第二次机会了，啊啊啊啊啊！！！！我要加油啊~~~

As a writer, you can begin by asking yourself questions and then answering them. Your answers will bring your subject into focus and provide you with the material to develop your topic.（一般我都不问问题，直接陈述语句开始写，难怪写着写着文气就断了） Here are twenty questions or "thought starters" that present ways of observing or thinking about your topic. Each question generates the type of essay listed in parentheses after the question.
1. What does X mean? (Definition)
2. What are the various features of X? (Description)
3. What are the component parts of X? (Simple Analysis)
4. How is X made or done? (Process Analysis)
5. How should X be made or done? (Directional Analysis)
6. What is the essential function of X? (Functional Analysis)
7. What are the causes of X? (Causal Analysis) BE EACW
8. What are the consequences of X? (Causal Analysis)
9. What are the types of X? (Classification)
10. How is X like or unlike Y? (Comparison)
11. What is the present status of X? (Comparison)
12. What is the significance of X? (Interpretation)
13. What are the facts about X? (Reportage)
14. How did X happen? (Narration)
15. What kind of person is X? (Characterization/Profile)
16. What is my personal response to X? (Reflection)
17. What is my memory of X? (Reminiscence)
18. What is the value of X? (Evaluation)
19. What are the essential major points or features of X? (Summary)
20. What case can be made for or against X? (Persuasion)
(Adapted from Jacqueline Berke's Twenty Questions for the Writer)
这20个问题还是从方方面面描述X，还有里面千丝万缕的因果联系。这么多问题，回答完了，好像文章也就差不多了。这个20个问题应该不会全部都用到，还是要根据自己的写作习惯来运用。开始可以先写完再回头看看有没有回答这里面的问题，写着写着应该心里就会了然有哪些必要的元素需要加到文章里了。
好不习惯在电脑上做阅读笔记啊……

Coping with Writing Anxiety
Many situations or activities, such as writing, taking tests, competingin sports, or speaking before a large audience, may make us anxious orapprehensive. It's important to remember that a moderate level ofanxiety is helpful and productive. That flow of adrenaline is a naturalresponse that helps get us ready for action. Without it, we might notperform as well.（昨天跳舞的时候我也很兴奋，很紧张啊，果然就超水平发挥了，原来这个是共通的啊~~）

If we let our anxiety overwhelm us, it can cause problems. If wecontrol that anxiety, however, we can make it work for us. One way todo that is to use some of the coping strategies listed below.
Coping Strategies:

•        Focus your energy by rehearsing the task in your head.
•        Consciously stop the non-productive comments（没用的思路） running through your head by replacing them with productive ones.
•        If you have some "rituals（仪式）" for writing success, use them.
Examples:

•        -Follow a protocol you may have for organizing your time. Use a favorite pen if you have one. （回忆模板，摸摸自己的幸运物）
•        -Spend a few minutes doing some relaxation exercises. （做运动）
•        -Take a break: physically walk away from the situation for a few minutes if you can. （溜达溜达）
我在手心写“人”字，消除紧张感~~

Relaxation Strategies

•        Stretch伸展! If you can't stand up, stretch as many muscle groups as possible while staying seated. （不要吓到邻座...）
•        Try tensing and releasing various muscle groups. Starting fromyour toes, tense up for perhaps five to ten seconds and then let go.Relax and then go on to another muscle group.
•        Breathe deeply. Close your eyes; then, fill your chest cavityslowly by taking four of five short deep breaths. Hold each breathuntil it hurts, and then let it out slowly.
•        Use a calming word or mental image to focus on while relaxing.If you choose a word, be careful not to use an imperative. Don'tcommand yourself to "Calm down!" or "Relax!"
•        最后一条太对了，冷静下来啊，放松啊，真的不适合我，不如说笑话好……
Writing Anxiety对我来说不算太严重吧，所以这篇，用处不大……

Symptoms and Cures for Writer's Block  对于神经性写作便秘的症状介绍及治疗建议


Because writers have various ways of writing, a variety of things cancause a writer to experience anxiety, and sometimes this anxiety leadsto writer's block. Often a solution can be found by speaking with yourinstructor (if you are in school), or a writing tutor. There are somecommon causes of writer's block, however, and when you are blocked,consider these causes and try the strategies that sound most promising:

Symptom

You have attempted to begin a paper without doing any preliminary work such as brainstorming or outlining...
Brainstorming很少做，几乎就没有做过，就是要很多人讨论吗?各抒己见？？写议论文的时候会稍微写一下outline，不过懒人如我，越来越少动笔了……
Possible Cures

•        Use invention strategies suggested by a tutor or teacher
•        Write down all the primary ideas you'd like to express andthen fill in each with the smaller ideas that make up each primaryidea. This can easily be converted into an outline
Symptom

You have chosen or been assigned a topic which bores you....

Possible Cures

•        Choose a particular aspect of the topic you are interested in(if the writing situation will allow it...i.e. if the goal of yourwriting can be adjusted and is not given to you specifically, or if theteacher or project coordinator will allow it)
•        Talk to a tutor about how you can personalize a topic to make it more interesting
Symptom

You don't want to spend time writing or don't understand the assignment...

Possible Cures

•        Resign yourself to the fact that you have to write （多么无奈的举动）
•        Find out what is expected of you (consult a teacher, textbook, student, tutor, or project coordinator)
•        Look at some of the strategies for writing anxiety listed below
Symptom

You are anxious about writing the paper...

Possible Cures

•        Focus your energy by rehearsing the task in your head.
•        Consciously stop the non-productive comments running through your head by replacing them with productive ones.
•        If you have some "rituals" for writing success (chewing gum, listening to jazz etc.), use them.
Symptom

You are so stressed out you can't seem to put a word on the page...

Possible Cures

•        Stretch! If you can't stand up, stretch as many muscle groups as possible while staying seated.
•        Try tensing and releasing various muscle groups. Starting fromyour toes, tense up for perhaps five to ten seconds and then let go.Relax and then go on to another muscle group.
•        Breathe deeply. Close your eyes; then, fill your chest cavityslowly by taking four of five short deep breaths. Hold each breathuntil it hurts, and then let it out slowly.
•        Use a calming word or mental image to focus on while relaxing.If you choose a word, be careful not to use an imperative. Don'tcommand yourself to "Calm down!" or "Relax!"
•        这个和第二讲是重复的吧

Symptom

You're self-conscious about your writing, you may have trouble gettingstarted. So, if you're preoccupied with the idea that you have to writeabout a subject and feel you probably won't express yourself well...
我的死穴……
Possible Cures

•        Talk over the subject with a friend or tutor. 写作文都是一个人写，不和人讨论（x）身边带个玩偶，和玩偶讨论（正解！）
•        assure yourself that the first draft doesn't have to be a work of genius, it is something to work with. （反正我没天赋）
•        Force yourself to write down something, however poorly worded,that approximates your thought (you can revise this later) and go onwith the next idea. （万事开头难）
•        Break the task up into steps. Meet the general purpose first, and then flesh out the more specific aspects later.
•        Try one of the strategies on the next page of this resource.
Other Strategies for Getting Over Writer's Block.If you have tried theother strategies and are still having problems, try some of thesegeneral techniques for getting over writer's block. These strategieswill prove more helpful when you're drafting your writing.
Begin in the MiddleStart writing at whatever point you like（还是最喜欢这样写啊，想到什么写什么）.If you want to begin in the middle, fine. Leave the introduction orfirst section until later. The reader will never know that you wrotethe paper "backwards." Besides, some writers routinely save theintroduction until later when they have a clearer idea of what the mainidea and purpose of the piece will be.
Talk Out the PaperTalking feels less artificial than writing to somepeople. Talk about what you want to write someone—your teacher, afriend, a roommate, or a tutor. Just pick someone who's willing to giveyou fifteen to thirty minutes to talk about the topic and whose mainaim is to help you start writing. Have the person take notes while youtalk or tape your conversation. Talking will be helpful because you'llprobably be more natural and spontaneous in speech than in writing.Your listener can ask questions and guide you as you speak, and you'llbe more likely to relax and say something unpredictable than if thatyou were sitting and forcing yourself to write.
Tape the PaperTalk into a tape recorder, imagining your audiencesitting in front of you. Then, transcribe the tape-recorded material.You'll at least have some ideas written down to work with and movearound.
Change the AudiencePretend that you're writing to a child, to a closefriend, to a parent, to a person who sharply disagrees with you, or tosomeone who's new to the subject and needs to have you explain yourpaper's topic slowly and clearly. Changing the audience can clarifyyour purpose and can also make you feel more comfortable and help youwrite more easily.
Play a RolePretend you are someone else writing the paper. Forinstance, if you have been asked to write about sexist advertising,assume you are the president of the National Organization of Women. Or,pretend you are the president of a major oil company asked to defendthe high price of oil. Consider being someone in another time period,or someone with a wildly different perspective from your own. Pullingyourself out of your usual perspective can help you see things that areotherwise invisible or difficult to articulate, and your writing willbe stronger for it.

(Many of these ideas are from Peter Elbow's Writing with Power, [Ch. 8; 59-77] and Mack Skjei's Overcoming Writing Blocks.)

Planning (Invention): when you start to write

You can try the textbook formula:

I. State your thesis.
II. Write an outline.
III. Write the first draft.
IV. Revise and polish.

. . . but that often doesn't work!

从小到大都是这么个步骤过来的，但是很少回头看自己以前写的东西，总觉得惨不忍睹……

Instead, you can try one or more of these strategies:

Ask yourself what your purpose is for writing about the subject.

Thereare many "correct" things to write about for any subject, but you needto narrow down your choices. For example, your topic might be "dormfood." At this point, you and your potential reader are asking the samequestion, "So what?" Why should you write about this, and why shouldanyone read it?

有时候都不知道写出来的东西有什么意思，就像这个dorm food，为什么要写啊，这个东西有什么好说的呢？你吃你的，我为什么要看呢？写出来的东西应该要有意思才好啊。应该是写作的人本身对这个主题就不关心，觉得没有意思，才会言之无物的。所以生活要多一点发现美的眼睛。

Do you want the reader to pity you because of the intolerable food you have to eat there?（很可能会引起他的同感。）

Do you want to analyze large-scale institutional cooking?

Do you want to compare Purdue's dorm food to that served at Indiana University?

Ask yourself how you are going to achieve this purpose.

How,for example, would you achieve your purpose if you wanted to describesome movie as the best you've ever seen? Would you define for yourselfa specific means of doing so? Would your comments on the movie gobeyond merely telling the reader that you really liked it?

Start the ideas flowing

Brainstorm.Gather as many good and bad ideas, suggestions, examples, sentences,false starts, etc. as you can. Perhaps some friends can join in. Jotdown everything that comes to mind, including material you are sure youwill throw out. Be ready to keep adding to the list at odd moments asideas continue to come to mind.

Talkto your audience, or pretend that you are being interviewed by someone （这里总是有很多假想敌出来，会不会有一天就变成自说自话自问自答了？）-- or by several people, if possible (to give yourself the opportunityof considering a subject from several different points of view). Whatquestions would the other person ask? You might also try to teach thesubject to a group or class.

See if you can find a fresh analogy that opens up a new set of ideas. Build your analogy by using the word like.For example, if you are writing about violence on television, is thatviolence like clowns fighting in a carnival act (that is, we know thatno one is really getting hurt)?

Take a rest and let it all percolate.

Nutshell your whole idea.

Tell it to someone in three or four sentences.

Diagram your major points somehow.

Makea tree（好高级的树形图啊）, outline, or whatever helps you to see a schematicrepresentation of what you have. You may discover the need for morematerial in some places.

Write a first draft.

Then,if possible, put it away. Later, read it aloud or to yourself as if youwere someone else(假想again). Watch especially for the need to clarify or add moreinformation.

换位思考

You may find yourself jumping back and forth among these various strategies.

Youmay find that one works better than another. You may find yourselftrying several strategies at once. If so, then you are probably doingsomething right!

又是一天的尾声了
1.两个LIST，真吃力啊
2.把前面看过的文法作业笔记贴上来，原帖里也贴了一份
3.开始看awintro
这一天都在和证券厮杀，已经快看见胜利的曙光了~~~
好短的日志啊……

rafaelUID: 2702393

一天的学习才开始……怎么总有那么补也补补完的作业

rafaelUID: 2702393

1.把第二次作业I的提纲列出来了，还没敢下笔写
2.新背了LIST13 14，复习前面两个LIST
3.开始看草木布置的第四次作业

虽然一直想开始下笔写AW，先要读懂题目。ARGUMENT143的题目刚刚才彻底明白，到底要驳倒的是什么观念，有些什么逻辑错误。万事开头难，第一篇习作什么时候写下来了，一切就会好的。哎呀哎呀~~~被作业追着跑啊

难道真的要像BUNNY说的那样通宵赶作业？

rafaelUID: 2702393

就在我无意间点开草木的作业帖时，我看到了第五次作业。又是一阵哀嚎，前面的还没有补完，证券还没有考试，怎么办。
第五次是翻译AW的题目，我想这应该是现在看来最能完成的作业了吧。所以我要好好做。
囧事是，我不知道PM是什么，然后番茄斗斗告诉我是站内信。哎，混迹的时间太少，完全不明白术语。
得到的翻译题目是103-122，从2点多边耍边翻译到了5点，我终于完成了，然后去上课，然后回来修改一下，交作业。
翻译的时候会想，到底逻辑错误在哪里，而且一些词语的不恰当使用也会有歧义。这个作业让我开始有了动笔写的感觉。

好平铺直述……好了，就这样吧。

rafaelUID: 2702393

昨天的帖子不见了……灵异事件……不管了，继续写
金融工程下课以后就和娅娅坐在教室里背单词，上课的时候顺便又看了看昨天的单词，温故而知新嘛
这两天在反思自己背单词的方法。背单词最烦的就是在红宝上记得的单词，换个地方就不认识了，这是前摄后摄的影响,还有些词语真的长得好像，或者很短的单词，意思反而不好记，比如今天看到的gear，只能硬记下来。听一遍串讲，熟悉一下要背的词汇，有人声看起来没有那么枯燥。听完以后开始背，我觉得这个过程还是有点痛苦的，然后感叹一句，这些词，为什么这么古怪……最后再把刚刚背过的单词过一遍，遮住中文，重新抄写在大本子上，竖行抄写，下次看的时候就横行再回忆，这样子能够消除一部分前摄后摄影响吧。剩下的那些问题，只有时间可以解决了。
关于草木布置的作业，哎。前一段时间一直在焦虑的赶作业，又责备自己没有把事情安排好。快期末了，学校的作业多起来了，刚刚才选完了数理经济的翻译文章，10天之后讲解，自己选的这篇《How Delegation Improves Commitment》,oh 一堆的数学表达式，大段大段的翻译，哎，除了叹息，只能是慢慢来，相信自己可以做好的。草木第六次和第七次的作业，都是晚上12点以后挑灯做，可是进度仿佛龟爬一般。已经不奢望能够按时交作业的了，只想把这个作业好好做完，不是交作业，而是真正的能够思考，从中有所领悟。
好了，又是新的一天了~~~

这次又丢掉了前两天写的。这是怎么回事……

rafaelUID: 2702393

簡單地說吧，今天只背了兩個LIST，心情低落，想要趕作業的決心，被自己臉上蹭蹭冒出來的痘痘嚇回去了。不如好好睡覺吧。今天已經開始了
