大家都准备的怎么样了？（讨论一下）

jjliyUID: 134309

8月份的TSE还有一个月了，不知大家准备的怎样？交流一下经验吧

jjliyUID: 134309

今天练习了几道题
感觉还可以说几句，但不是很熟练
背诵的东西还不能灵活的用上
总之，现在比原来有信心了

josie-liuUID: 44211

刚开始准备。楼上的都背了些啥？怎么样可以增加信心呀？

jjliyUID: 134309

就是超级教程上的一些答案啊
要有选择性的背诵，特别背那些套话
范围很广，在很多话题中都可以使用的。
要背就要背熟，达到不用思考就可以说出的地步，
这样才会在遇到新话题时，不知不觉的用到。

最近天气持续高温
办公室，宿舍都没有空调
学不进去啊！郁闷ING

今天又将图表题总结了一下
每一种类型的图表都总结了一种模式
考试时套用就可以了
一般都是对图表的性质首先进行总的说明
就是本图表是关于什么问题的变化趋势
然后在进行详细阐述。
有了这种固定的模式，回答时就会有的放矢。
希望大家交流经验

比如超级教程上的那道双曲线图
第一句：This graph dipicts the sales volume of two popular snacks .
这就是对本图的总的说明。
然后在对两条曲线分别说明：The continuous line illustrates the sales of potato chip cases sold by the track team. The dotted line represents the sales of popcorn cases sold by cheerleaders.
这其实是对两条曲线性质的描述
下面的是具体变化趋势： The continuous line  reached its peak during the month of Nov. ,at which time  ,70 cases were sold , followed by a steep decline over a period of the next two months . The sales went down from the peak of 70 cases to the low of 25 cases.  The dotted line showed a steady increase of about 10 cases per month , with exception of Nov. and Jan. .
再下面是对两条曲线差异的描述（就是交叉点）：
Prior to early Dece. the sales of potato chips were greater in quantity than that of popcorn. After Dece. this trend was reversed .
这样的解释可能对图表的描述更清楚一些。

今天又开始看TOPIC题目
其实已经背过几遍了，但总感觉记不住
为了能够增强记忆，今天将每个题目的段子
进行分析，即标出段落的结构及每一句话的作用。
觉得对记忆很有帮助

比如
那个建研究中心的题目，分析如下：
I think it's much better to establish  an angricultural research center at a university in my country for many reasons. （表明自己的观点，建农业研究中心好）。The most important one is that China has 1.2 billion people and very little farming land .（谁都想到的原因人多地少）。It has always been very hard for my country to feed its population.（人多地少，所以喂不饱人）。Actually, even today , in some parts of China , people are still not getting enough food to eat .（进一步强调问题的严重性，今天人们仍然吃不饱）。Once an agricultural research center is established , research will be carried out to improve farming technology. I am sure that this center will help solve the food shortage problem facing China today.（这个研究中心必建不可， 可以让人吃饱）。In my opinion , for any country , nothing is more important than feeding its people.（哪个国家都一样，必须先吃饱，发挥一下自己的观点）。So I strongly suggest that an agricultural research center be established .（总结发言，强调主题，其实是废话）。这样一注释， 可以看到整篇文章是怎样发展的， 便于记忆及引用。

Fine art education
看到这个题目有点不知所措，对艺术知之甚少。
I always believe that fine art education should be a very important part of everyone 's education.（艺术教育与一个人教育的关系，当然很重要啊）。Art is part of everyone's life , no matter what you do .（上升到了一个人的生活，更重要了）。A good fine art education will enable one to enjoy life more .（对我们的作用，可以享受生活啊）。In a fine art class you will get the chance to develop a strong apprieciation sense for beauty .（艺术性的去欣赏美，通过课堂学习）。You learn to appreciate the beauty around you , the beauty in the flowers , mountains and rivers .（用词简单，容易想到）。You also learn to appreciate all kinds art forms , the opera, music , paintings and sculptures .（各种形式的艺术都要学会欣赏）。With some appreciation of art , you will lead a more fulfilling life .（学会欣赏艺术，生活就会更完美）
是， 还要学会欣赏美女啊

单曲线的描述：
This graph demonstrates a steady increase in attendance at the local zoo during the eight months between Jan. and Augest , followed by a steep decline over a perod of four months .（对图形的总体描述）。The number of people in attendance started at approximately 80, then gradully increased from the month Jan. to August . At which time , the attendance reached its peak at a little over 500. （我觉得没必要描述的太详细，一是没有时间，二 也不好表达，但这里一定要提到最高点）。Then a steep decline occurs, from a peak of about 520 to a low of about 50.（到此可以结束了，因为整个图形已经描述的很明了，）。This graph clearly indicates that attendance at a local zoo has a lot to do  with the weather .（还剩时间的话，可以加上这句）
几点体会：
1.要注意时间段的表达
2. 介词的使用

学生得到教育是否是为了钱
It may sound very selfish to say this , but it's ture a student's main purpose in getting an education is to make more money.（开题亮出自己的观点， 是为了钱）。Remember while choosing major , students and their parents pay primary attention to the job prospects of the major. They primary motive in getting an education is to be prepare for a  well -paid job.（当然要选一个好专业，这样才可以找到好工作，才可以赚更多的钱）。The people who are working go back to school for further education . Their purpose is to keep the job they have or to be promoted to make more money.（举工作之人回到学校接受教育其主要目的还是为了赚钱，强化观点）。It may be too worldly to say that it's all about money in this world , but let's face it , money is the most important thing if not everything.（没钱是万万不行的，在这个世上钱是最重要的，和老美的口味）。I think it's safe to say that the main purpose in doing every thing including getting an education is to make more money.（总结， 得到教育是为了钱）。
注意时态的运用。
