系列活动二结束：我的英语学习之四六级考试

铁栏杆

学习英语要循序渐进，不能急于求成。要切实的提高英语水平，就要扎扎实实地从基础抓起。 听、说、读、写四个方面是学好英语的基础，都很重要。但我的体会是： 以阅读为基础，带动各方面全面提高。 对阅读来说，我觉得材料的选取非常重要。我开始选用的是《英语快速阅读》，后来也用过《高级英语阅读教程》上下两册。因为这两套书体裁多样，篇幅长短适宜，而且介绍了一些快速阅读的方法，并配有相应的测试题。
   我的方法是：第一遍采用快速阅读，即记下起止时间，在读的过程中注意力高度集中，利用眼睛的扫视来提高阅读速度；对于个别生词先跳过去，而着重于对全篇中心意思的理解。 第二遍，再仔细通读全文，在这个过程中学习新的单词及一些固定搭配和习惯用法，并仔细体会精彩的语句。这样，可以充分的利用阅读材料，扩充词汇，增强语感，扩大知识，做到一举多得。 阅读，是扩大和巩固词汇量的好方法。刚进入大学时，我觉得自己的词汇量太小，急于要扩大词汇量。 我曾尝试过背词汇手册，但很快就觉得这样做既费时费力，又枯燥乏味，而且由于只机械的记住了单词的含义，缺乏语言环境，又不能及时巩固，所以遗忘相当高。 后来我采用了这种“字不离句”的在阅读中积累词汇的方法。因为通过上下文来理解，词义记的清楚，而且理解准确。 我把这些单词积累到单词本上，放在身边，利用一些零散时间反复记忆，加深印象。如果长期坚持阅读，又会在阅读过程中巩固记忆单词，同时再学习新的单词。这样滚雪球似的向前发展，不知不觉中词汇量就扩大了，而且也能记得牢靠。 我使用这样的阅读方法，通过第一遍的快速阅读，锻炼了阅读速度，逐渐养成了良好的阅读习惯。 当我拿到一篇英文材料，首先很快的阅读一遍，脑子中马上反映出文章的大意。这样的阅读习惯对我的帮助很大。 比如，我们专业课中用的英文原版材料不可能有足够的时间一字一句的通读，但又必须快速而准确的抓住每个章节的主旨，我学到的快速阅读的方法就帮了我的大忙。 再比如，在英语测试中遇到的阅读理解部分，在规定的有限时间内读完数篇文章及做完数道题，有时就会感到时间不够用，或把文章读完一遍，脑子中缺乏文章的轮廓，对有关中文章主旨的一些问题回答不上来。 由于我坚持阅读练习，锻炼了阅读速度和理解能力，所以，答这类的问题就得心应手了。

尚可

我本人认为真正要想学好英语还是要循序渐进，打好基础。不过这次是关于四六级的话题。我过级是五六年前的事了，而且对现在的新题型也不是很了解。不过我认为再怎么变化还是有很多相通之处的。听力还是要平时多练习，不用时间很长，15分钟左右，这是指的每天。但是要求就是在这15分钟之内你要做到精力高度集中，这样才会慢慢出效果。还有就是词汇，有的人不强调词汇，但是我认为词汇还是很重要，毕竟这是基础。如果没有基础，又如何谈起更进一步呢？词汇还是用自己喜欢的方式多积累，有人喜欢硬背单词，我就是这样，有的人可以阅读从中记忆一些单词。总之大家应该用自己喜欢的方式多掌握一些词汇，好像我们那时考六级词汇的比重还是很大的。其实阅读理解在考试中是占大头的，我认为这个可以做一些练习，还有就是平时多阅读一些英文文章，英文的报纸，期刊。这才是真正的提升英语的办法。临考前可以参考一些考试小技巧，平时练习还是要稳扎稳打。作文我是很差，就没什么经验可谈了。总的来说，听力还是要好好练习，还是比较容易拿分的，而且听力考得好不好，还会在一定程度上影响你的做题情绪的。

I was permitted to take college English test band-4 (CET-4) in the second semester of my freshman year. Before taking it, I had known pretty much about it. I knew it is very important for college students. Studying English hard and getting through the test is an inalienable part of college life. But little had I appreciated it at that time. I really know what it means till I have worked for more than two years after I graduated from university. My English teacher told us who would take CET-4 that there would be training classes for us, and the expense for the training is 200 yuan. Foreign Language College of our university organized the training. The staff is definitely that of the college. Classes would be given during weekends till the eve of the test.
I had that faintest idea of how to pass the test, so I paid the tuition. In my opinion, the training is useful. I got some skills about writing the test that were totally new for me. The ones impressed me the most was how to deal with reading. For the first time did I know the importance of the topic passage for one article, and that of the topic sentence for one passage. But the more I went to the training classes; the more I felt boring. Then, the more I cut the classes. I bought a book of test cet-e test papers of the latest ten times and prepared the test myself. Fortunately I passed it successfully. That summer vocation, when I told my mama the big success, she was so surprised, "so poor grades". She said so for she had no idea of what cet-4 is.
Returned to university, I was proud and of course admired by my classmates. I began to think about CET-6. Some of fellow townsmen told me CET-6 is terrible. It is difficult to get through. One of them who was senior give me an example. There are only one guy in his class passed it. They told me that I should try, never mind if I would fail. After all, I had already had CET-4 certificate. So I think it nearly impossible for me. I did not prepare it seriously.
I like the library. I always went there. Seldom did I read any book patiently, I just liked the feeling of touching the new books with fresh smell and colorful cover. I also like to open those books that are fat or expensive. The most favorable books for me are those about English, computer and my major: biotechnology. One day, I find a book on preparing for graduate admission examination (GAE). At that time, GAE is great. I opened the book only to find that the reading is really difficult for me, but is it possible for me to get the main idea. I always went there and read that book. It was helpful to improve my reading. The first semester of my sophomore year, I failed to pass CET-6, my number of mark is 54, 6 from passing it. I know it was because of my insufficient of words I had memorized. The next half of a year, I started the painstaking new words memorizing process. Half of a year later, the second semester, I passed the test successfully, with the highest mark in my major.

推荐大家好好看看~~~

I have read what agldacheng wrote carefully and I found the similarity between us. I also passed the CET-4 in my freshman year, with a grade of 81. And, I passed CET-6, with a surpsieing grade of 87 during the first semester of my sophomore year. At the end of my sophomore year, I took the CET-4 a second time together with all my classmates, and got 86. I felt lucky, especially for my CET-6, but I do know that there's my effort behind the grade, which leads to the "success".

When I was preparing for the first CET-4 and CET-6, I did the same thing. One thing is the real CET-4(6) exam papers of the previous years, and the other is a so-called "training exam papers", by "Wang Changxi" if I remember correctly. In my opinion, the "sinlge choice" is the most valuable part of all the papers, on which I spent lots of time. I memorized all the words and phrases that appeared in the previous years, and I found that there's a great chance that the words will reappear in a few years. So if you can collect the papers from the last ten years, I would say that you won't have a big problem with the words and phrases. Actually this is a common opinion of lots of students who have passed the CET-4(6), and it was proved to be ture. When I took the second CET-4, I didn't even buy the exam papers. I just borrowed the papers from my roommates and had a look at the "single choice section". At that time, almost all of the single choices were about words and phrases, which I of course felt very easy. But my classmates didn't tend to feel the same way.

Ok, enough for the CET. I am not telling you to do the same thing as I did. What I want to say is that there's no shortcut for english learning. You have to work hard on it. If you have made enough effort, even if you don't prepare at all, you will not get a too bad result, in any kind of english exams(except for GRE maybe). To prepare for the CET and to learn englsih are actually the same thing, which is non-separable accordding to my experience. Now I will start to share my experience of english learning.

I really started learning english when I was in high school, actually the third year of high school, by memorizing words that appears on newspapers. At that time, I bought the newpaper called "21st Century", and I only read the parts that were suitable for me and keep notes of the words that I saw frequently on the newspaper( before that, I was keeping notes of the words that appeared on the training exam papers. but then I gave up because I found that the words were rarely used in everyday life). To help me memorize, I use a "Wen Qu Xing", which is a really great thing if you know how to set up your know "words group" and how to make the plan to review them. Also, after I went to the colleage, I kept doing that. I can still remember the many times when I was too concentrated on the newspaper that I forgot the time for the lectures. I didn't realize the benifit of this until I suddenly found that I rarely have difficulties in reading and listening any more. It was at that time that I started watching classic english movies with english subtitles.

So if people want to learn english well, enough words is a necessity. Do not grab a dictionary and starting memorizing. Learn words form the everyday life, from news papers, songs, movies and so on. Keep notes and review frequently (only one or two times means nothing).

One thing I forgot to mention is the grammar, which is enssential for reading. Grammar is important, but it is not difficult(I am not speaking of english as a major). If You could follow your teacher during middle and high school and understand all the grammar that appears on the text books, then your grammar is good enough. That's why I did't touch any grammar thing during colleage. Believe me, if you have really matered all the grammars from middle and high school, you won't have problems at all, even with TOEFL (I got 640 by the way). But if you have some problem with the grammar, finding out your old text books and starting learning is the first thing you should do.

If you are ok with the grammar, then start learning words as I said before. AND, most important, persistance, persistance and persistance. Don't give up if you find no improvment after one or two month, just hang in there. When you suddenly realize that you are better than before, you are actually much better than before, on a higher level if you will.

I remember "Yu Min Hong" once said the following: If you want to keep your english level, at least spent one hour reading or listening or whatever. but if you want to improve your english, spent at least three hours on english everyday. I can't agree more with what he said. Once you start learning words, you will realize how time flies and three hours is too short.

Now I am still leaning english from news and tv-series. I have no problem at reading and listening at all, the only problem left is the speaking. My goal is to speak english as well as Chinese, and I am working for this.

Ok, back to CET as a summary: grammar+words+efficiency+persistance. If you could achieve these, you will find that CET is really a piece of cake. I wish everyone a good success!

新六级之我谈

   大学英语的教学和考试早已是为人所熟知的话题。2006年的年末有幸参加了新版六级英语考试，首先的感觉是难度并不大。这也是考试改革所秉承的循序渐进的改革原则。

（一）听力
   听力部分的对话、短文和复合式听写并没有内容、难度和技巧上的变化，依然是严格按照大纲的要求，着重核心意义的理解能力。由于分值和题量的增加，使得我们集中听的时间较老六级（以前我考过）增加了不少。因此，我个人的感觉是平时加大听的兴奋时间，防止考场上由于过长的听力时间而导致个人听力的敏锐性的下降。

（二）阅读
   阅读部分总的感觉是较老六级的简单。考完出来，问了周边的同学，大抵上都抱有相同的观点。阅读文章共计3篇，1简答＋2深度阅读。
   简答文章选题为人文社科范畴，理工科的同学入题的感觉可能较文科的稍微差点。但词汇和逻辑上都没有玩猫腻，基本上通读无余。理解的作者的核心观点，应对文后的选项游刃有余。这也是新六级难度不大的主要证据之一，呵呵。
   深度阅读（仔细阅读）只有2篇文章，开始的一篇比后面的稍微难点。这与23日下午的老六级阅读似乎很相似。第一篇给我们造成某种心里压力，打乱解题的情绪安排和时间安排。这个的确有点郁闷。但这个也大可不必担心，从问题提出的角度和各个选项的搭配来看，与老六级无甚出入。或许这也是六级考试已渐入成熟的表现吧。正所谓处变不惊，呵呵。最需要谈到的一点是，六级阅读的材料已越来越贴入社会生活了。这次的新老六级都有文章涉及到美国的法律问题。老六级的在阅读理解之中，新六级的在改错文章内。考生需要对人文社会科学领域内的英文开始关注了。当然，这也是学习法学、经济学、管理学等人文社会学科学生的福祉了，呵呵。

（三）改错
这个是鄙人的弱项，听的多了，口语化严重，对于规范行文的表达缺乏严整的语言感受。不过，似乎错误都很简单。当然，或许这是事后诸葛亮的眼光吧。对于改错部分的心得，我个人的认识是，不管文章有多难，快速读懂大体意思，把握作者文笔意图即可。然后从需要找错的整句出发，从语法、逻辑方面进行微观层面的扫描与修正即可。有时候，甚至是文章不知所云，但错误却很明显。这种感觉，想必有很多同学与我心有戚戚焉。

随便写写，事先声明，我是来骗威望的。现在下书要花钱了。

我还是用中文来谈吧。英文写经验，又难表达的透彻，又难读的痛快。

我考4,6级也比较早，绝对时间是93年，相对时间是第2，3学期。分数也比较理想，分别是96和87.5。同年同学也有4级考满分的，后来又出了个托福满分的。

比起别人来，我似乎没有在学英语上花更多时间。各位老大都讲过，英语学习是没有捷径的，而是要靠时间，耐心，意志等等。这话没错，但是也有聪明的方法和笨的方法。

比如说单词，这是个让很多人都头疼的东西。我的老师对我的课前预习很赞赏，他经常课前叫几个人去听写新单词。当时很多人记得很差。我当时就是在只有我一个人成功写出来deteriorate之后获得赞赏，从此可以被默许翘课。我课前花的时间不比别人多，为什么呢？那时候，就有水性的高亮笔了，课文我是没兴趣全都吃透的，最多通读一遍，还不是全盘去理解，而是挑单词。看到陌生的单词就画出全句高亮，然后看一遍单词表，再看一遍高亮句。在自习室我多半是一直在做数学或者大物什么的，每隔半个多小时，就抽2分钟，过一遍高亮句子。这样，加起来没有多少时间，效果却特别好，比单独背单词表或者整遍整遍的看课文容易多了。甚至多年过去，我看到一些词还能想起来课文上的原句依稀是什么。比如那个deteriorate，似乎就是讲环境变恶劣的句子（蓝皮精读）。从来不需要再复习了。而课本上的单词，如果都掌握了，90分不敢说，4，6级都过应该是没什么问题的。

语法和阅读也有捷径。我考6级的时候，只参考了半本学校自己编的一本习题集，大概作了不到20套题目吧，考托福的时候，也只是把历年真题作了一小半，考试时候还在语法和阅读之间花了20分钟去腹泻，也拿了617。说明不用大量的作题也是可以取得好成绩的。我一般是先挑出若干套题目来，然后花个三天左右，把某一套题目做上几遍，第一遍会错很多，第二遍就少很多，这时候我在高亮这些错的，然后做第三遍，其实也就第一天花的时间多点儿，第二三遍虽然也很认真地作，但是花的时间连1半儿都不到了。这么做个10套左右，我就开始“复盘”，专挑这些高亮过的题目，这样就很快，语法题目几乎一眼看去就很熟悉，错的就相当少了。而阅读题目高亮的，我重点回想一下这些题目我做的时候，错在哪里？再看看相关句子，也是飞快。这么“复盘”上几次，速度也变得越来越快，然后就继续一套套的老样子做下去。。。结果做到不到20套左右，我发现那些典型句型，语言点和考察点们我都已经很熟了，一套题目错的很少，多半是生僻词，词组，和粗心造成的，就停了下来。准备应试了。

高亮这个东西是蛮好的，值得推广，我们同学也有一个叫做高亮的也验证了这一点，这厮Gre考了貌似2300分，比我早了足足7年出国。。。。

至于作文，不用太准备，你在做阅读的时候，每个短文章其实都读了不止3遍了（别告诉我你每次做题只读一遍，对答案的时候你不看），作文的感觉早在阅读时形成了，平常随便挑几个题目写写作文，你老师会指点一些缺点出来，ok,别的不看，就看缺点就行，多看几遍，记住，考试的时候按图索骥，在老师的角度上检查一下你有没有犯这些常见的毛病，就可以了。这时候，高亮单词句的作用也体现出来了，每个新单词在你脑子里都有了大致的例句，你就可以在6级考试里大肆的用这些新学的单词，批卷子老师当然也是对这些常教授的单词熟悉，看到你的卷子不免会有“靠，这家伙这么多“主动单词””的感想，自然分数不会低。

听力那可真是没什么太多取巧的学习方法，不过我也有个推荐的方法供大家参考。我没背过课文（被老师批评过），也没背过新概念，但是我背过听力。。。我们当时是Step By Step的教程，每次我练习，都是把听力内容先背个半熟不熟（这花不了太多时间，花时间的事儿我不爱做），然后就反复的听，这么十几，二十个单元下来，不太费力就能听得很不错了。相比很多人一个录音在不明内容的情况下或者不熟悉内容的情况下听好多遍，又省事又省脑，效果也不差。

我自己总结过这些，根本上可以归为2点。第一，就是不要搞得太累，让自己太疲惫，这样效果会很差。貌似我的很多办法都是取巧的，但他们对我来说，最大程度的避免了体力疲劳，兴趣疲劳和记忆疲劳，从而也很有效的强化了需要强化的知识点和记忆，回避了很多不必要的劳作。第二，就是选择对自己最有效的学习方法，每次学习新系统时候，我都会用几种不同的方式来学，比较各种方式的效果，开始的时候可能是比较麻烦些，但是之后的过程，让你能看着别人累死到笑。

顺便问问，要是这个不能给5威，翻成英文够不够 ？

我是在05年1月参加的大学英语六级考试，虽然是擦着“优秀”的分数线(85分)进入“优秀”的行列，但我对自己最满意的是：自己的复习很有效率，整个应考准备没有花费很多时间。


考试经验


对这门考试我认为最重要、最有效的复习方式就是做历年考卷，即使真题。


抛开“英语学习”的角度，光从应试上讲，做真题是最好的方法。因为只有那些真题是考官出的，正对这些题分析才比较有意义，题目质量也比较有保证。其他模拟题之类的没有时间的话就不一定要做了。有时间不如就把几套真题多做几遍，研究一下考官的出题思路。


听力：


想要听力好首先可能要矫正自己的发音，只有自己音读清楚、正确了，才能马上反应出别人说的是什么吧。六级的听力时由没有口音的人来读的，所以是比较标准的英语(确切说是美音)。除了多听以外，还可以注意对话涉及到的不同场景。从场景出发，归纳一下不同场景下会使用的短语和字汇也是很有用的。回答前可以先看选项，听的时候就有重点了。听听力还讲究注意力，注意力不够的话，听对话也许还行，听段子题就会走神。所以即使有听不懂的地方也要忍耐，把整段听完，不然为了一个没听懂的地方后面都没听到就得不偿失了。


阅读：


其实我阅读速度也不是很快，尤其是科技类的文章。六级的阅读文章也有不同分类，有情节的文章会比较容易读。但我总结下来，阅读不能完全凭自己的喜好去读，要强迫自己多读一些“不喜欢”的文章类型，这样不但可以积累一些这方面的词汇，也能培养对这类文章的亲切感。如果带着抵触心理去读文章，是肯定无法理解它的意思的。


词汇与结构：


词汇当然是要靠平时多积累的，但六级考试也有它的特殊性。六级的词汇题重复出现的比例较高，所以多做历年词汇题是很有助益的。六级还强调相似词的比较，所以学的时候把相近的词一组一组归纳起来(词串)一起学较好。


作文与综合改错：


作文是较难准备的，说实话真的只有多写多看才有可能写出好的文章。但为了应试，可以看看作文的“模版”，看看别人怎么写，自己也可以套用一些句型结构。不过我觉得也没必要为了写出复杂的长句，硬是从句套从句(往往又带着错误)，搞得阅卷老师云里雾里，反而降低印象分。


改错的话，需要耐心仔细。要我们改的地方，往往也是我们自己易犯错的地方。多注意自己可能会错的地方，就应该没有问题了。


准备六级只要方法得当，效率高的话，应该用不了多少时间。但如果只是为了考试而考试就没什么意义了。我不否认在考前用适当的应试技巧集中复习是很有效的，但从英语学习的角度看，还是一句老话：功夫在平时。如果把考试当作是对自己学习的一个激励，而不是最终目标，那么考试也就更有它的意义了。


各位同仁，让我们互相勉励：学习，毕竟是一生的事。既然是一生都要做的事，同样去做，何不快快乐乐的做呢？

我的四级是大一过的。个人感觉四级要过不难，比如要考个430-450分，高三的水平完全够了，当然，也得有一定的基础啦！

个人体会是：
   1.阅读理解最重要！其次是听力，之后写作。。。。。。
   2.考试时，词汇单选题放最后做。考四级往往时间不够，而词汇题题量大，且题量大生词多，分值又低！没必要花很多时间，最后实在没时间就直接在答题卡上涂答案！！（偶就是这样过来的^_^）
   3.对付写作，建议考前背几篇范文，话题可参考一些有权威的命题预测！（个人感觉淘金式系列的不错！）
   4.考试时，不要紧张。没必要！真的，四级并不像想象中的那么难！！
   5.考试前几天坚持每天做一套真题，主要是找找考试时的感觉！！

最后还想谈谈学习英语的体会。其实，我觉得学习英语最重要的兴趣，有了兴趣，在平时生活中你就会注意积累，英语是非常注重积累的！有些人说：“我英语差就是因为我对英语没兴趣啊！”，“我讨厌英语！”……这就可能是你对待英语的心态的问题了。不要把英语当成一门乏味的课程！它是一种工具，一种能让你获取更多信息，让你更好的融入这个世界的工具！这里我推荐下面这篇文章，我在TLF看到的。能帮你重新认识英语的重要性！

重新认识英语, 重新认识计算机, 创造一个良好的英语学习环境

My view on CET4 & CET6
   Three years ago, I passed CET4 & CET6 . I attended CET4 twice and passed it at second time. Fortunately, I attended CET6 only once and passed it successfully.

   For college students, CET4 and CET6 should be passed. CET4 and CET6 is a test that can evaluate student’s English ability generally. To pass it, students must train themself strictly. Except for learning college English textbook, they should do more.

   At college, I am not a good a student because I like to play more than to study. So, on the  first CET4, I failed. After this frustration, I was so painful and decided to introspect myself. I concluded that if I can not pass CET4, I would be a pity failurer; if I was a failurer, I could not survive in this society in not far future. So, I made up my mind to pass CET4.

    “A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed.” The first thing I must do is to improve my listening. Every morning, after I got up, I took half an hour to practise English-listening. Same did I before I went to bed at night. The material of listening came from the past CET4 listening exercise and from other resourse such as New Concept English, special English of VOA, Around USA, and so on. The second thing was to recite words. Perhaps, it was a short cut to memorize English words. So, like other studens, I bought a dictionary to recite words. Every day, I must spent 1 to 2 hours to recite. It was difficult to insist. Especially in winter or at busy time, I want to halt. Several times, I did halt actually. But I persisted at the end. After a year, the ability of listening had been improved and the number of words increased.

    Then, it came to reading. The problem was that the speed of reading was not quickly enough and reading comprehension was weak. But I found my way. That is, I readed articles loudly day after day. Those aticles which were easy to be understood were selected from textbook. Gradually, I had much more percption to English article. As for writting, I did not spend much time on it because I knew English writting ability can not be improved in a short time. I just wrote one article a week.

   At the end, I did and reviewed the past CET4 exercise two month before CET4 test. Then, I passed it. After passed CET4, I passed CET6 at one fling.

   Looking back the experience, I do not think it can make me comprehension on English cuture. In other words, It can not enrich my English knowledge actually. It is just a way to deel with examination. To reach a more higher level, I have a long way to go.

一点浅谈大家一起分享吧,互相进步!
我的4级是在1999年过的,离现在已经有7年时间了,对这个记忆已经很遥远了.
我记得过4级没花费什么劲,最主要的就是跟着老师去上课就行了,我们那时候教材还是<大学核心英语>.该上课的时间去上课,按时预习课文,完成课后作业,这样能考过的问题就不会太大了.
但是,我们理科班上没过的竟然有11个(共30个),大多是不来上课的,或者玩游戏,或者去泡MM了.本来都有良好的底子的,结果一不学习就掉队了,我真为他们惋惜.
所以我觉得4级就跟着老师走,就学习教程过肯定没问题.
6级可能要花点工夫,因为我们理科班过完4级就没有英语公共课了,完全凭自己去学习.过完4级后,在其他繁杂的课程学习之余,我主要是背英语单词,我那本六级词汇都被我翻烂了,问什么马上都能反应过来.然后就是做阅读,阅读基本能保持在32分左右,这样过6级的可能性就非常大了.作文是考前几个星期我才准备的,主要背一些常用句型,自己也一定要动动笔,不然就会提笔忘字的.
还有不管4,6级,历年的真题一定要做!!如果有时间,可以多做两遍都没关系,任何考试都是有一定规律的.
现在4.6级改革了,但词汇,阅读,作文还是不变的,要想过,这几个大头一定要抓,当然,听力也占很大一部分.祝还在奋战4.6级的早日通过.

用过四、六级来衡量一个人的英语水平是一件悲哀的事情。同样在这里用中文来讲述自己学习英语的经验也是一件很惭愧的事情。在我看来，我们的英语教育整体上来说是不成功的。而现在我也要在这里用中文来给大家说说我过四、六级的经验了，实在是很窘。

我觉得有必要说一下我学习英语的历史。我们那时是从初中（一个小城市郊区厂里的子弟中学）开始学习英语的，说实话，我一开始学习英语就觉得跟听天书似的。为什么呢？因为我们的英语老师从一开始就跟我们讲语法，听得我们是云里雾里的，脑子绝对性的不够使，愣是想不明白也背不下来那些东西。幸亏老爸很久以前鼓励我说我以后一定能学好英语，我问他为什么？他说因为我的汉语拼音学的好，而英语字母跟汉语拼音是一样的。这样总算保留了一点学好英语的自信。就是这样，我的英语成绩也很差，刚开始学习单词的时候还是100分呢，以后越来越差，最后都是不及格，三、四十分的样子把。不光我一个人，每次考试成绩一出来，全年级（就他一个英语老师）近一百人只有几个人及格。

后来高中转学到了一个中等城市的一所省重点高中，我各门功课都差，当然英语是最差的，清楚地记得第一次英语考试，120的卷子我的分数只有30多分。可想而知，周围的同学英语都比我强，而且口语也很标准优美，我非常自卑，根本没有信心把成绩赶上去，就是那样郁闷的堕落着。联考过后，班主任把班里一些同学的家长叫到学校，说我们这些人是正好处于高考本科线上的人，意思是说我们极有可能考上大学，也可能正好在线下。是这样么？我心想，是老师在安慰鼓励我们吧，重点中学的老师还是水平高一些，而我已经心灰意冷。虽然这样，在高考前大家一起冲刺的激情中，我还是拼了一把。

高考成绩出来了，我正好在本科线下，那天晚上我哭了很长时间，心里真是五味陈杂，有没有上本科线的惋惜，有当初没有尽力学习、拼命冲刺的后悔，更有找回自信、肯定自己的兴奋高兴。对三流学校的中等生转到强者如云的重点中学的我来说，这样的成绩对我是一个激励。那晚我就决定要复读，因为觉得自己的潜能并没有完全发挥出来。复读的那一年，我变得越来越喜欢学英语，每次考试都是全班的前3名。老爸的“预言”在这个时候终于实现了。

之所以讲这么多是因为我觉得学习任何东西，不只是英语，首先要有自信，认为自己能学好，这是很重要的。有信心学好你才会充满激情的投入进去，这个推动力是很大的；其次才是寻找适合自己的学习英语的方法。

我不太想在这里讲自己学习英语以及过四、六级的经验，免得有误人子弟的嫌疑。我的英语水平在有些人眼中也许还不错，过了四、六级，虽然分数不高。但我还是认为自己的英语学习太差劲，学了十几年，家里的课本、课外读物、辞典、小说阿什么的一大堆，到头来还是不能说出口，听也听不懂，一看到英文文章就头晕，觉得是异物，写一个短篇的英语文章要憋半天还是chinese english。我觉得学习好一门语言的标准就是能够自然而然的用这门语言流利的表达自己的想法。能够流畅的听、说、读、写，就像母语一样。这样才是理想的。可是现在我们的状况呢？唉！不说了！

以前一个朋友对我说她遇到了学习英语的平台期，不管怎么努力都无法再提高成绩，她很烦恼。现在看来，我觉得是她的方法不正确，如同无数个努力的艰辛的学习非母语的人们一样。我们学习母语并没有那么痛苦的过程，而我们运用起母语来就像它浸透我们血液一样自然。这其中定有奥妙，只是我们还没有完全参透。目前我还在努力学习英语，每天都在听mp3，希望从听力开始来突破，不知道有希望否，真的有效的话，我会像大家报喜，极力推荐这种方法的。

另：建议大家看看这本书“千万别学英语”

Though I passed CET4 with high score several years ago, the details about how I prepared for it became vague. But I want to tell something about it in my point now. I have been out of school several years. At first, I didn’t care English so much for there was no any communication in English in our company. The only places we can touch it were the equipments and technical documents. So I became so unfamiliar with it. At the moment, I find my bad English especial spoken English became a handicap in my daily work. I hope I can pick it up again just as some years ago.
I don’t know the CET4 test at the moment for there are many changes from several years ago. But I really think the way we learn English is the same. There’s no short cut. Take listening for example, many people learn English just as a dummy special in China. They don’t speak a word in English and that will make them so unfamiliar with the tone. So when the listening starts, they can’t make a quick response to what they have heard from the tape. When I first talked with the foreigners, I was always afraid of my bad spoken English. But in fact, they don’t care how we made the sentence. They just want to catch my meanings. So give you your courage, speak it out loudly and talk in English as more as possible, you can make great progress in both your listening and spoken English.
They other parts of the CET4 need your long time on exercises, I think. Just like we meet a stranger in our daily life, the first meet without any others’ introduce, you may can’t cognize him next time. The more you meet him, the more familiar you can get with him. The same in study English, the more time you meet the vocabularies, the familiar you get with them. Because you meet them in different environments, you also know how to use them in different ways. So make more practice.
The “reading and understanding” part needs your reading and thinking. This part is really very simple if we put it in English. The questions are just like the one we meet in primary schools. But the biggest problem in CET4 is that we can’t translate it into English properly in such short time. So the only thing we can do is more practice and more thinking. Some time we get nothing after our reading for we haven’t do any thinking during the reading process. So we should get accustomed to this kind of reading. We should give ourselves five minutes to think what the articles want to tell us after every reading. We should tell us there are any special or anything we haven’t understood in this reading. The more we reading, the quicker response we can do after our reading, and then that’ll save your time during your test.
The more familiar you get with English, the less pity you have after your test. I don’t think there’s any difficulty in our English study. We’re just lack of your interest and endeavor if we have bad English just like I have now.

新题型题量适中，但是由于监考人员对考试程序的不熟悉，给我们考生造成的感觉就是时间紧答不完，不过只要准备充分还是可以适应的。新四、六级题型含金量很高，被企业所欢迎，所以大家还是多准备准备。



没有认真答题，念你是新手，奖励你一个威望，希望下次认真答题，否则不予评威，这里也要告诫其他会员，要认真答题，不要来混威望~~~

我也谈谈我的经历吧。
我也是比较快地通过了四六级考试，大一通过四级，大二通过六级，其中或许有些运气的因素，但基本功还是要一些的。
1、我认为词汇非常重要，这是基础，词汇提高了等于是成功了一大半。我当年在考六级前的两个月里，每天下午4：30下课后到5：30吃饭之前的这一个小时，天天坚持，两个月的时间对我的词汇量有很大的提高。词汇提高了，对听力，对阅读理解，对翻译都有帮助。
2、听力也很重要，现在的学生，很多反应听力难，是丢分的重点地方。其实听力也是有技巧的，包括训练的技巧和考试的技巧。先谈谈练习，我觉得在睡觉之前练听力非常好，躺在床上静下心来，用心的听，一方面听的效果好，另一方面对睡眠也有很大的促进。再就是练习听写，上面有人提到VOA慢速英语，VOA慢速英语是很好的素材，而现在通过网络查找这样的资料也很容易，找到VOA慢速英的MP3后，用播放器播放，然后尽量地写下来，一遍写不下来不要紧，两遍也不要紧，但是一定要坚持听写下来，而不是去看原文，这对听力的提高也是有很大的帮助的。考试方面的技巧就不多说了。只要是考试都有相应的招式的。

现在的四六级不是不设分数线了吗？下面这个是若干年前那种考试模式的应试秘笈，经身边同学试用，效果显著，欢迎仿冒：
基础比较差的同学，分数要在三天内实现飞跃，只有一个，就是把“词汇与结构”（？）那个板块的前些年真题看五遍以上，基本搞懂考点，看熟为止。这个方法应该可以帮基础差的同学把答题准确率提高到80%以上。其他的板块临时抱佛脚不会有明显的效果的，就别折腾了，上香吧。如果准备考试的时间不止三天，再去弄其他板块，这个板块最多三天就够了。不按这种方法备考，考砸活该！

四级之我谈


像很多人一样，对于四级，我曾经也是很苦恼，考了3次，全部差了一大截！今年我总结了我失败的原因，并在今年暑假前的那次考试把它给搞定了，521分。之下我简单谈下我的过四级之路，也许对像我这样基础并不是很好的同学有那么点帮助。以前我总是按部就班别人的所谓绝招什么的，单词也是背下核心高频什么的，而且是 越少的越好那种，可是到头来等待我的却是一次次面对四级不及格的“悲剧”。今年我觉得改头换面，我下定决心来踏踏实实学习英语。我找了本四级的词汇（不是核心高频的那种，几乎包括了四级大纲上所要求 的单词），坚持每天15个单词。而且在网上下了些经典句子什么的，每天背5句。听力我就是听历年的真题听力，每天都听，偶尔看下21世纪报，其他的我什么都没干。
  最后我想说下，词汇始终是现阶段四级考试的核心，千万不要怕苦怕累去追求些核心什么的（我不反对最后考试的一个星期看下核心词汇什么的，我也是这样的），没什么基础的同学最好还是老老实实本本分分的学习英语，想走什么捷径到达的，他过四级的几率几乎为零。希望本人的愚见能对某些人有那么点帮助！

很感谢,有你做榜样,我相信我也会PASS的.努力~~~~~~~

变化后的六级考试，其实，也是有它的规律的。
听力的难度没有什么变化，只是多了短对话和文章填空。
阅读变化最大，有快速阅读，也有精读，还有一般阅读。
写作没有变化。翻译也没有变化。
最要死的就是时间很紧张。根本不给你喘气的机会。
反正是抓住听力和阅读、写作三块，肯定过。
听力我没有什么好的办法，前面高人已经指点。阅读对于新的题型，规律性很强，老式阅读大家都会。新的，就是找题目内容在文章的提点。写作老套，背背范文，应该就可以了。
