由于朋友突然问到，然后自己就把自己的方法整理了下...鉴于本人虽然过了6级，但分也不是很高，总体来说英语还是有点渣，所以，你们就无聊时看看，觉得有用就用吧...作文模板暂时没有整理出来...如果有人需要我再编辑上来吧...以上，第一次发帖，请多多包涵...
上文：
关于背单词
 
由于完全裸考过的4级，所以之前基本没背过单词，考6级背了的单词就新东方4级携带版前10个单元单词左右。不要求一个词义一个词义的背完，就掌握到能发音（对付听力）和看到单词知道它最常用的那个意思（对付阅读）就行。很多单词的多个意思都是最常用的那个词义衍生出来的，所以临时抱佛脚的话就掌握最常用的那个就行。如果不是单纯为了应付6级的话，当然全部记下来更好。
 
关于听力
 
如果你打算准备什么的，还是完全放弃吧…真心的，考6级准不准备听力真的没多大影响，特别是最后5天来准备…你就做到考试听力不走神就对了。听不懂也没关系，反正拿到试卷先过一遍听力题，猜一下大概是个什么样的场景，会怎样对话，然后到时听的时候重点放在问题上就完了。听到有那个答案的词出现选那个答案就对了，虽然它有时也设定陷阱实际上不选那个，但毕竟是少数，不怎么影响总体分…实在什么都没听懂的话，靠常识蒙也能对不少…反正我就考听力经常走神连蒙带猜考下来也和别人差不了多少…当然，能全部听懂了来做这是最好的…
 
 
关于阅读
 
练速度和准确率…真心过不过6级决定点就在阅读…而且这也是能最短时间就把分给提到200以上的部分…
 
我一直以来阅读的方法就是边读边做题。它设题的顺序就是按文章的顺序来的。所以先看第一题找题中的关键词。然后按顺序读文章。你不需要把每一句都过成中文意思来读，反正就晓得个大概就行了，认不到的单词猜意思带过就完了。当然如果你认不到的那个单词是关系到答题的关键，你就得仔细琢磨了，这都要你最后时间充裕再来琢磨，先机选一个在那儿放着，做个标记后面有时间了再来研究。找到第一题的答案后就看第二题的问题，然后接着读接着找答案…
 
所有阅读都用这个方法，只是注意短句阅读有时候你找到答案了还要转换或者概括一下答案，这个多做几篇真题总结下规律就能应付了。
 
具体举一篇篇章阅读来看吧。(你可以自己先做，由于完全没看电脑地盲打，可能有地方有错，应该不影响吧…)
 
原文：
 
What most people don’t realize is that wealth isn’t the same as income. If you make 1 million a year and spend 1 million, you are not getting wealthier, you are just living high. Wealth is what you accumulate，not what you spend.
The most successful accumulators of wealth spend far less than they can afford on houses, cars, vacations and entertainment. Why? Because these thins offer little or no return, the wealthy would rather put their money into investments or their businesses. It’s an attitude.
Millionaires understand that when you buy a luxury house, you buy a luxury life-style too. Your property taxes skyrocket, along with the cost of utilities and insurance, and the prices of nearby services, such as grocery stores, tend to be higher.
The rich man’s attitude can also be seen in his car. Many drive old unpretentious sedans. Sam Walton, billionaire founder of the Wal Mart Store, Inc. , drove a pickup truck.
Most millionaires measure success by net worth, not income. Instead of taking their money home, they plow as much as the can utilize into their businesses, stock investment and other assets. Why? Because the government doesn’t tax wealth; it taxes income. And the more income you bring home for consumption, the more the government taxes.
The person who poles up net worth fastest tends to put every dollar he can into investments, not consumption. All the while, of course, he’s reinvesting his earnings from investments and watching his net worth soar. That’s the attitude as well.
The best wealth builders pay careful attention to their money and seek professional advice. Those who spend heavily on cars, boats and houses, I’ve found, tend to skimp on investment advice. Those who skimp on the luxuries are usually more willing to pay top dollar for good legal and financial advice.
The self-made rich develop clear foals for their money. They may wish to rerire early, or they may want to leave an estate to their children. The goals vary but tow things are consistent: they have a dollar figure in mind-the amount they want to save by age 50, perhaps –and they work unceasingly toward that goal.
One thing may surprise you. If you make wealth –not just income-your goal, the luxury house you’ve been dreaming about won’t seem so attractive. You’ll have the attitude.
1. What can we know from the first paragraph?
A .wealth is judged according to a person’s living style.
B. Living standards play an important part in one’s wealth.
C. High income may make one live high and get rich at the same time.
D. Wealth is more of what one has made than anything else
2. in the author’s opinion, those who spend money on luxury houses and cars____
A. Have no sense of taxes
B. Have accumulated wealth in another sense
C. Live high and have little saved
D. Can show that the are among the rich
 
3. The rich put their money into business because____
A. They understand how to get much in return to build their wealth
B. They are not interested in luxury houses and cars
C. their goal is to develop their company
D. They want to meet their inflated desire for material wealth
 
4. The U.S government doesn’t tax the money that you send on ____
A. Cars
B. Houses
C. Stock portfolios 
D. Boats
 
5. To become wealthy, one should____ 
A. Seek as much income as he can 
B. Work hard
C. Stick to the way he lives
D. Save up his earning 
 
 
我做题思考的方法：(看标记，按先说的：先看第一题,读原文找答案，然后看第二题这样循环顺序看下去)
 
What most people don’t realize is that wealth isn’t the same as income. If you make 1 million a year and spend 1 million, you are not getting wealthier, you are just living high. Wealth is what you accumulate，not what you spend.
这个词是设问肯定有解答，那么看下句的“offer little or no return”,选C
与题相对应，答案肯定在这附近，这时如不能接着快速找到答案，那么可以看下一题的问题，两者一起找答案，因为这种情况往往就是两题的答案信息交错了。看完下题接着往下读直到找到答案。
The most successful accumulators of wealth spend far less than they can afford on houses, cars, vacations and entertainment. Why? Because these thins offer little or no return, the wealthy would rather put their money into investments or their businesses. It’s an attitude.
4题的答案。只是要理解了再转换答案就是了。选C
Millionaires understand that when you buy a luxury house, you buy a luxury life-style too. Your property taxes skyrocket, along with the cost of utilities and insurance, and the prices of nearby services, such as grocery stores, tend to be higher.
The rich man’s attitude can also be seen in his car. Many drive old unpretentious sedans. Sam Walton, billionaire founder of the Wal Mart Store, Inc. , drove a pickup truck.
我个人觉得3题答案在这句理解。拿挣的钱投资然后看净增值。选A
Most millionaires measure success by net worth, not income. Instead of taking their money home, they plow as much as the can utilize into their businesses, stock investment and other assets. Why? Because the government doesn’t tax wealth; it taxes income. And the more income you bring home for consumption, the more the government taxes.
The person who poles up net worth fastest tends to put every dollar he can into investments, not consumption. All the while, of course, he’s reinvesting his earnings from investments and watching his net worth soar. That’s the attitude as well.
即“become wealthy”
The best wealth builders pay careful attention to their money and seek professional advice. Those who spend heavily on cars, boats and houses, I’ve found, tend to skimp on investment advice. Those who skimp on the luxuries are usually more willing to pay top dollar for good legal and financial advice.
选B
The self-made rich develop clear goals for their money. They may wish to rerire early, or they may want to leave an estate to their children. The goals vary but tow things are consistent: they have a dollar figure in mind-the amount they want to save by age 50, perhaps –and they work unceasingly toward that goal.
所以读第一段找答案，有点带主观性质，所以要自行判断。选D
One thing may surprise you. If you make wealth –not just income-your goal, the luxury house you’ve been dreaming about won’t seem so attractive. You’ll have the attitude.
1. What can we know from the first paragraph?
A .wealth is judged according to a person’s living style.
自己找的关键词然后回原文找相应的
B. Living standards play an important part in one’s wealth.
C. High income may make one live high and get rich at the same time.
D. Wealth is more of what one has made than anything else
2. in the author’s opinion, those who spend money on luxury houses and cars____
A. Have no sense of taxes
B. Have accumulated wealth in another sense
C. Live high and have little saved
关键词
D. Can show that the are among the rich
 
3. The rich put their money into business because____
A. They understand how to get much in return to build their wealth
B. They are not interested in luxury houses and cars
C. their goal is to develop their company
D. They want to meet their inflated desire for material wealth
 
4. The U.S government doesn’t tax the money that you send on ____
A. Cars
B. Houses
C. Stock portfolios 
D. Boats
 
5. To become wealthy, one should____ 
A. Seek as much income as he can 
B. Work hard
C. Stick to the way he lives
D. Save up his earning 
 
注：总体来说这篇比较简单，但方法就按这样去联系，肯定是能把速度和准确率提上去的。如果真题做过，就推荐王长喜的《标准阅读80篇》，我做过，而且是只做过几篇那种然后阅读上200。因为它难度有些高于6级，但你认真做了分析方法的话，到时考试肯定很轻松…这篇是选自《标准阅读160篇》.
 
关于完型、翻译
 
完型完全凭感觉选，就这样…翻译，一般就考倒装虚拟，其他就一些动词用法，看历年真题来应付应该都没问题。注意，提示放听力和实际放听力有空白时间，利用那个时间把听力题浏览完后就翻过来做翻译，这样可以给阅读节约点儿时间。

还有半个月就要去腐国了，在家闲来无事忽然想写点关于从烤鸭到申请的各种各种，就当是记录一下吧~
烤鸭是大三下学期的事，距今已经很久啦╮(╯▽╰)╭本猫其实从来都不是个非常用功的人，所以当时同宿舍的基友去报了培训班，本猫则坚称屌丝要以省钱为本还是自己复习吧这样的原则，加上偷懒不想出门的本质，开始了自己的烤鸭历程...当然，第一步是买鸭肉~其实之前已经有在网上订购了盗版的剑桥3-7，店家很厚道还送了各种视频教程啥的，不过我在买鸭肉之前...也就是报名之前...是没有碰过这些的...（!13~真是懒人！）之前不可避免的也随大流买了新东方的红色词汇书，不过我买的是词以类聚的~这个我至今背都停留在前四页，当然，这书我也不会浪费就是了~做翻译的时候用它当字典绝对好用~写作文的时候也可以用它找词~唉，跑题了~继续说报名时，交了1450软妹币着实让我肉疼，不过几星期后雅思就涨价了~唉嘿嘿~涨到1550了~瞬间赚了100块的感觉又让我暗爽不已啊~~~~~
其实前面都是废话，我只想说报名后雅思有个官方教程，叫雅思之路，在线的，很不错哦~我的意思是很有趣... Road to IELTS from Clarity and the British Council 地址在此~我当时的复习方式就是平时上课照常作业照常玩照常天天做一点这个上边的联系，当然，要很认真的把上边的生词全都记住啦~不过真心没有多少...不过在我基友和其它人的眼里，我是天天没事就泡在电脑前上网，还很有热情的玩着盗墓online...!1~其实是她晚上自习完回来的时候正好是我玩的时间嘛！因为是英语专业，平时一副没怎么学雅思的样子实际上还是有学英语的呀~反正它们都是相通的~不过我在玩游戏或者P图的时候都一直在听英语的有声读物，一天只要在电脑前没有在做雅思之路，就一定在听这些。最喜欢的是Harry Potter~下载的是英式发音的这个版本 http://www.verycd.com/topics/106424/ （这是VC的链接）。因为我从小就很喜欢HP的小说，这个版本读的也很引人入胜，所以听了好几遍~哈哈~刚开始的时候是下在MP3里晚上躺在床上听，第一章的时候还不是很适应听起来略有障碍。不过后来我发现晚上听这个实在不合适，因为听得我太兴奋了睡不着....于是改成白天听~后来也听了BBC出的指环王广播剧和苏菲的世界的有声读物，不过最喜欢的还是HP~当然，后期我还是有做一下剑8的题，并且把剑3-7的听力存在MP3里去考试的头天晚上和第二天早上一直听着来熟悉语音，不过我觉得听HP才是我那次考试听力8分的最大功臣~为了向它致敬，我写了关于HP的毕业论文，哈哈~
那次考试之前准备最不充分的就是写作了。我一直以为写作就是想什么写什么嘛，结果忽略了字数的问题，导致我在现场写的时候非常SB的给小作文写了很多字，给大作文留下的时间非常不充足...唉...口语之前跟同学练了三次...只有三次啊...因为培训班的亲们都不愿意理我这个懒猫啊...加上我完全没有弄那些模板啊事先写啊之类的，就导致我进去以后乱说一气╮(╯▽╰)╭其实一开始还好，就杯具在第二部分了，那考官不让我做笔记，非得拉着我聊天！！！怨念！结果我笔记只写了两个词她就说时间到了让我说...结果可想而知...
阅读借来同学的一本书看，里边讲了个平行阅读法，非常管用~值得说的是，雅思考试现场时间控制非常严格，到时间了必须放下笔，不像国内普通考试在老师收卷前还能抓紧时间再写几笔。出成绩的时候其实我挺惊讶的，因为我的分竟然比我基友的高~估计这个又培训班又自习而且一直绩点比我高的孩子内心中一定充满了怨念吧......所谓分不在高，够了就行，我这个7分申一般学校的MA还是够了的，而且小分没有低于6的，于是就没有再考过~
然后就到了申请季。我又本着省下钱来吃好吃的的原则，选择了DIY。刚开始是各种浏览各种学校各种专业，基本上的原则就是从times榜单上从高到低依次看，有喜欢的专业的mark下。好吧我其实从大二就开始看了，而且还不局限于腐国，神马爱尔兰啊欧洲大陆的英语教学啊各种看，不过到了大三暑假，在各种选择对比计算下，我发现腐国其实...还是有价格优势的啊~
最后筛选剩下了差不多5所学校，然后开始申。先准备PS，推荐信*2，CV这些材料，然后开始网申。其实腐国各校的MA都是可以网申的，非常方便哦~在线填个表，材料都上传了，就可以了。!22~其中有个小插曲，我的两封推荐信之一是找熟识的外教写的（因为院长大人说我没选他的课不给我签T_T），因为他是PHD而且在很多大学任教过，所以觉得应该还是可以的吧~然后这位米国大叔坚持要用他们管用的推荐信方法，既他写完不给我看，直接装信封封起来并在封口签字，然后让我把封好的再装信封邮过去╮(╯▽╰)╭我一开始邮的挂号，结果...过了很久...我的信好像被中国邮政弄丢了...我去邮局查，人家竟然告诉我挂号信其实是不能查的只能让对方到对方的邮局去查OTZ我怎么可能让学校那边去查嘛...一怒之下又写了一封，寄了EMS，这回可以查了~然后在学校收到推荐信的第二天，conditional offer就来了~因为第一个申的恰好是我最想去的学校，所以别的学校我就没有再申~
后来就加各种校友Q群，在群里聊聊天啊之类的，一会儿纠结这个，一会儿纠结那个，等着毕业拿了学历学位证和成绩单去换unconditional offer。六月中旬，终于毕业了，拿到证的当天我就把它们扫描了发到申请的学校去，不过这次是email发的。然后...就没有消息了...
到了七月中旬，我开始着急，这学校怎么还不给我uncon啊，是不是有神马问题啊...在群里一问，同学告诉可以给学校打电话催~于是急忙给手机开了国际长途直拨，打电话去一问，人家竟然说没收到！没收到！！！急忙重发，当天半夜（这边的半夜）接到回复邮件说收到了，这才松了一口气。几天后unconditional offer和CAS相继发来，预约了签证，订好住处和车票，开始填各种表格。在各种人人分享的攻略指导下，表格很快就完成了。结果在签证前一天的晚上，我忽然打算再手填一份APP8表格（这个是手填打印都可以的），然后...就发现我这个SB猫竟然把表填错了，而且学校发来的offer和CAS上我的课程名也写错了...当时好想抽自己啊！！！急忙打电话去学校，却一直没人接听。第一次转录音的时候我挂掉了，然后想一想又打第二次，简短留言后想了想又打了第三次，完整的把情况说了下并留下了联系方式...第二天把签证递了，回家途中学校打电话给我我竟然没听到，后来又打电话过去，总机表示她也不知道谁给我打电话的...当晚回家再打电话过去给CAS team，各种转来转去找不到负责人之后，终于有人告诉我其实这个只是一个常用缩写啊你个小白根本不需要这么担心啊！一星期后，签证到手，立刻去买机票，不过已经比较晚了，所以机票都挺贵的。唉，要是早下手就好了...
至此，我纠结的历程算是告一段落了，下面就要看去的一路会不会发生什么奇怪的事件了╮(╯▽╰)╭顺便鄙视一下中国移动，开个国际漫游让存1500块话费不说，还只能漫游一个月！这是闹哪样啊！！！
唉，我改名叫某只很唠叨的猫吧...
(⊙ˍ⊙)看看自己半年前写的东西，好微妙~哈哈哈~一转眼竟然已经在腐国呆了半年了，我...自觉应该更新一下这个~嗯~
以下是更新呦！
当初买的机票是阿联酋航空的，因为买的比较晚，它是能找到的最便宜的啦，记得好像是4500这样？唉嘿嘿我不记得了~不过我记得从中国到迪拜的这段有个蛮漂亮的中国空姐~哈哈哈~看了一路电影，阿联酋的机上娱乐设备还是蛮不错的，我就一边睡一边看，一个电影刚开头我就睡着了，等睡醒了睁眼睛一看这电影还没结尾呢...究竟是我睡的短还是电影长啊...正好是早上的航班，早餐有热乎乎的新鲜croissant，味道蛮不错的~其它食物...不记得了...反正没有羊肉串...迪拜到伦敦这段换成了A380，好霸气的赶脚啊~~~当时把我给兴奋的，直接打开电影接着睡觉（← ←这还叫兴奋啊喂！) 中间在迪拜机场逛了一下，纪念品店真萌~有好多好多小骆驼啊哈哈哈~飞的时候吃了顿羊肉，辣辣的感觉还不错~嗯，重点是辣辣的，因为我那时有点晕...
到了伦敦在入关的地方排了好久好久好久，不过等到我的时候很快就盖章让我进去了~然后我直接走了不申报的那边，于是...申报是什么？能吃吗？
最幸福的就是在出口处见到学校的接机队伍~哈哈哈好吧这个其实是发邮件跟学校订的，不过是免费的~真好~接机的同学都很热情，虽然看起来像中国人但是实际上都不是中国人...于是中文都说的不大好，哈哈哈~还给一人发了一张免费的lyca卡，说是在旁边便利店就可以top up的，不过因为我办了联通的国际漫游，所以就没有冲，那个卡现在还躺在我的抽屉里呢...不打电话星人表示有微信无压力~
下面进入腐国的故事~
我的腐国的故事，是从半夜10点多开始的......第一个好玩的发现就是高速公路上每过一段就会出现一个很萌的路标~就是...国内公路旁边如果有学校，不是会有个提醒司机这里会有小孩子的路标嘛，然后在腐国这里，差不多的标，不过上班的画换成了鹿~后来我跟一个老师聊天的时候问他，他说...这个大概就是这里有鹿出没的意思吧，虽然他从来没见过真正有鹿出现在路上...我猜...这个牌子大概就是：这里是公鹿 这样的意思吧......
大巴把我们放在学校的宿舍门口，然后接机的同学带我们去宿舍的管理员办公室（这个叫reception但是它是身兼数职的神奇地方感觉好像门卫啊但是又不在门口）。亲切的管理员大叔和阿姨接待了我们，把我们领到各自的房间（单人间唉嘿嘿~）并给我们讲解了各种设施怎么用以及注意事项之类的，并且还帮我把电话装了~虽然这货至今都没响过...不过这个电话可是一个路由器哦~好~神~奇~ 我之前订了bedding pack，于是到房间后把它拆开铺上箱子摊开洗洗涮涮就睡觉啦~第二天早上六点多就醒了，目测jet leg完全不存在~不过我觉得这个应该跟我随时随地都能睡觉有关...
早起第二天跑去Southampton找朋友蹭饭，唉嘿嘿是在学校的群里认识的朋友哦~顺便拿了我跟学长买的锅啊水壶啊之类的东西以及她帮我申请的giffgaff电话卡~去的时候坐火车回来的时候坐大巴，中间还坐了一下公交车。这里我要吐槽一下，公交车居然不报站啊摔！连文字报站都没有啊，没人按停车它就继续开的啊！还好我下的那站下车的人蛮多的...火车和大巴单程没有打折都在5镑多，(⊙ˍ⊙)好贵啊亲！话说南安的宜家附近竟然有一家迪卡侬！我震惊了！并且不忘进去买一双便宜死了的运动鞋穿~
International week的时候学校组织我们免费去伦敦玩了一次，看到了传说中的伦敦眼，大笨钟，柯南跑过的那条大笨钟旁边的桥（唉嘿嘿~），一路走到了national gallery~在那里边逛了好久，看画画~然后还不忘下楼去买明信片，有打折的好便宜啊哈哈哈~找邮局倒是找了半天，本来还想坐地铁去玩玩什么的...结果...下去看了一眼复杂的伦敦地铁图，我觉得我还是老老实实在附近转转好了...值得一提的是，这是学校唯一一次组织免费出游啊！！！后来组织去伦敦看展览什么的，都要车费自付18镑啊！！！开学后组织过去V&A博物馆看礼服展，好喜欢这个博物馆啊里边东西超级多而且好好看~礼服展华丽死了，可惜不能拍照，不过其它展品都能拍~它是按年代地域分区的，我还试了中世纪牧师的衣服，哈哈哈哈~还有裙撑和Corset，好重啊...V&A离著名商场Harrods是很近的~于是我们在博物馆逛完就顺便去逛了Harrods，看到了它当时的迪斯尼主题橱窗~本来觉得这种奢侈的商店应该人烟稀少吧...结果进去后好挤好挤，到处都是人，尤其是卖巧克力和食物那边...一种特产商店的赶脚，就是这里的特产真~贵~啊~当然，作为纯正的屌丝，我秉承了只看不买的原则，并且惨无人道的围观了店里所有高富帅白富美各国富太太们！~第三次去伦敦也是学校组织的，其实就这星期...去那边看一个叫Pure London的Trade Show（请无视我加了英语词因为翻译无能力...我觉得我脑细胞都死光了OTZ）这次没事好说的，因为是专业相关的东西，而且一整天就在里边到处看到处拍照啥的，看完回去还要写报告...这星期忙死我了...
我在的村叫Winchester，是一个交通基本靠走（前提是买不起车）的地方。每天上课下山下课上山，所谓的山其实就是个小上坡而已...但是站在坡的这边，你就是看不到坡的那边...宿舍窗外是个神奇的地方，每天有穿着漂亮衣服的马悠闲的吃草，有小牛小羊小狐狸小孩子（我觉得这个是乱入的）在草地上...不知道吃啥呢...窗前的树上住着一只硕大的松鼠，非常疯狂的在冬天来临之前啃光了我窗前那片树上的叶子...我可没有乱说，有证据的！而且他竟然在我忍不住在人人上吐槽他之后就拒绝出现在我窗前了！希望他不上技术宅，看不到我又吐槽他，我可不想半夜被敲窗户╮(╯▽╰)╭ 宿舍5分钟距离有家巨大的tesco，它是以我为代表的纯屌丝赖以生存的地方。当然，白富美也是会去那边的，不过白富美更多的时候会选择村里商业街那边的M&S...由于专业的缘故，我每天不得不面对成群的白富美...唉...腐国是白富美的天堂，伦敦现在还是世界上富人的首选居住地（我前几天刚查过哦~当然，课程需要~）。对于我这种误入腐国的屌丝来说，这也是个可以挑战生活下线的地方，没有最省钱只有更省钱~!19~不过还好我最近找了份兼职，一星期能有足够我吃的钱入账~每周五去上班前我都会查查自己的银行账单，然后看到上星期的工资就干劲十足了~哈哈哈哈~!049~话说在腐国工作需要申一个National Insurance Number，很好申请的，打电话给那边申就好啦~具体的红领巾上有教程，或者如有需要回复告诉我便是了~另一省钱利器就是HC2 certificate，可以免费验光看牙买处方药...这个去医院领一个名为HC1的表格（蓝色的一大本），填上后用附带的预付邮资信封寄回去便可。这两样东西建议刚来腐国就马上申，因为NHS（就是发HC2的机构）可是英国三大慢之一哦~
圣诞节的时候我和宿舍的一个同学一起申请了Host family, 去一个蛮可爱的英国人家里过圣诞节，吃了顿比较传统的home made的圣诞大餐，还有圣诞节拆礼物哦~拆礼物什么的果然就是让人惊喜又开心的活动~哈哈哈哈~话说竟然连家里的猫猫狗狗都有圣诞礼物呢~她家的猫猫狗狗都好萌啊，有一只小黑猫晚上跟我一起睡来着，超级幸福~她好暖和~话说我还是头一次见到真正的壁炉耶，而且她家里取暖做饭竟然都是用这个炉子来提供能量的，好神奇......
呐...屌丝女的腐国生活就这样啦~好困啊睡去，唉，还有作业木有做...
—————————————————我又更新了的分隔线————————————————————
一转眼，复活节假期来临了~其实我只是想说腐国的妖风终于彻底摧毁了我那把经历过台风仍然坚挺的大天堂伞...天堂伞还是不错的嗯~于是我迫不得已买了把传说中女王代言（不是代言吧喂！）的伞╮(╯▽╰)╭话说最近真是越来越多雨了...唉...

————————————————————我更新了的分隔线————————————————————————————
七月八月的时候成功邀请麻麻来这边找我玩，办的是旅游签general visitor不过在填表时有写来这边探亲。其实也蛮简单的，当时跟学校的visa 部门发了封email简单说了一下情况，他们很快就给我回了签证，说明我需要提交哪些证明，还有学校邀请函模板的下载地址~然后按照UKBA网站上关于general visitor的说明页准备材料就可以啦~具体的...有点不记得了OTZ因为好久了呢，这些都是在5月的时候就办下来咯~六月时抱着在麻麻来之前写完论文的心态赶出了毕业论文的literature review部分，却因为太兴奋别的部分都写不下去了，天天在纠结中纠结啊纠结...
麻麻来的时候是今年七月最热的一段时间，然后我们在好热的伦敦无比灿烂的阳光下逛了一星期...天天都在热死的边缘徘徊啊╮(╯▽╰)╭别看只有30度，感觉上可是跟被关在烤箱里一样呢T_T还好之后我们就跑去北方避暑了~坐了一天couch来到非常壮观的爱丁堡，整个城市就像一群大城堡呢~第二天一大早跟旅行团北上向天空岛进发，运气很不错沿途天气都没有太糟糕＾_＾我们报的是爱丁堡当地的旅行团，名字叫Rabbis,导游是个苏格兰妹纸，一路一边开车一边给我们讲各种好玩的东西~因为这个旅行社的特点是出小团所以车也小，一车差不多十几个人的样子，倒是后来都变得蛮熟的~很幸运的是团里竟然有个意大利人是生物学家，一路上所有动物植物只要有不认识的问他都能得到详细解答，太神奇了!!!高地和天空岛超级美，途中我们在一个小山坡停下拍照观光，我对着两只在远处吃草的大马挥了挥手，竟然把它们招了过来OTZ一匹金棕色一匹白色都好漂亮啊~大家对它们一顿摸之后要回到车里继续赶路，它们俩还一脸依依不舍呢~果然是寂寞了吗╮(╯▽╰)╭在天空岛上住的B&B超级精致，每天早上还有点餐+自助早餐，好美味~第一天晚上去了B&B老板推荐的那家pub吃晚饭，很开心的发现那家竟然接受Taste Card折扣~2for1的那种哦！还不需要预订！！！很高兴的点了两个starter两个主菜吃的肚子圆鼓鼓（不吃也圆鼓鼓吧喂！）发现haggis还是蛮好吃的啊哈哈哈~晚上回去的路上还看到一群小兔子在草地上往前跑，灰色的小兔纸跑起来屁股后边会一下一下露出一撮白毛，好萌好萌呀~~~
从天空岛回到爱丁堡的那天晚上我和麻麻决定去我们住的hostel楼下酒吧吃东西，顺便体验一下英国人的酒吧文化~运气很好的点到了两盘不知道叫啥
的好吃的，然后因为手持好吃的被俩帅哥搭讪，问我这两个好吃的是菜单上的哪两个~指给他们后他们竟然一人点了两份OTZ帅哥看起来很细其实身子一半是胃组成的吧！！！菜到了后俩帅哥高高兴兴的拿着四个盘子一起回房间啦~一起回房间啦~回房间啦~啦~╮(╯▽╰)╭
第二天坐火车去湖区，又是超级美的地方呢~住在Windermere湖边的B&B，每天去喂雄赳赳气昂昂的天鹅们...天鹅真是一种...凶悍的生物！！！我有看到一只天鹅伸着脖子从人手上抢走冰淇淋呢！去了William Wordsworth的故居Dove Cottage，果然好小，不过有个很漂亮的小花园还有小后山OTZ看起来好文艺好温馨啊~为了躲雨走进的茶屋竟然有新鲜好吃而且不贵的scone~超好吃！而且茶屋里也好温馨的样子呢~
回到伦敦想起再不写论文我就白来了，于是第二天火速回到温彻小宿舍，除了第一天带麻麻到处逛了一圈，第二天去南安逛了一圈后，便一直躲在屋里赶论文...之后去牛津暴走一天，温莎暴走一天，伦敦继续逛了一下，就到了麻麻回去的时间了QwQ 送麻麻进了安检后我也坐上回温彻的大巴，打算回去继续赶论文...结果麻麻走了各种寂寞啊...写的时候饿了都木有人给我做好吃的了QwQ

#38！我會說這是資源補檔么,求糖.英語跟我一樣爛的孩子求過四級可以來參考下,我沒啥好經驗,有水平人士不要圍攻,這個經驗帖是爲了自認為英語比較水的孩子寫的...#28！繼續求糖
咳咳，首先，我承认我英语真的不好 TAT ，当年高考只有82（150满分哦），大一大英还挂科了诶。可是！我四六级都过掉了啦，所以，你们肿么可以不过捏？！虽然我都是低分飘过，但是对于基础差的孩子们来说，PASS才是王道啊，有木有？！
        好啦，废话不多说，我来讲讲一些自己的过级经验吧。（今天就讲下四级，因为我六级是刚好通过而已）
【四级篇】
        首先我个人感觉，四级其实跟高考差不多（甚至比高考还容易些），所以，如果你第一考，千万别太紧张。我的四级是大二考的（学校规定），当时距离高中那种高强度的学习已经有段日子了，已经放松了不少，但是准备了一段时间，还是一次性PASS掉了。
一、词汇
        我想说，词汇真的很重要！虽然咱们都不爱背单词，还一边背一边忘。但是，你想想看如果你一句话每隔两三个单词你就有一个不认识，你能看懂这句话咩？！of course是不能的啦。所以说，一定要背单词！！！
        那该怎么背呢？好吧，既然大家来看我这篇东西，想必跟我差不多都是那种，就算买了本单词书还是永远只背完A,B,C顶多背到D的人。（捂脸。。。这种情况的，我的意见是，买一本高频词的单词书（新东方有本浅蓝色封皮的，阿拉不是卖广告，推荐下而已）。因为无论我们按顺序背或者乱序背都只能背完前面一部分的单词，所以按一般人去买本词汇很多的单词书真的作用不大。高频词单词书是按词频排列的，即便基础差又有点懒的我们背不完整本书，也起码背了高频率的啦。
二、真题
        有师弟师妹问过我，要买多少的练习题。我觉得吧，做得多不如做得巧。如果你做了20套题，每次都是做完之后哗啦哗啦对答案，然后错了一大堆，哎呦好沮丧不想学了，那还不如不做。
        我的意见是，去买一套真题（一般就是5-6年一共10份题目那样咯）！我知道你想说其实我肯定做不完的，我比较懒对不对？好吧，如果你真的做不完，你也起码做7，8套那样。认认真真做，做完之后对好答案，弄明白为什么是这样（好好看解析，真的不懂要问老师问同学！），遇到一些你觉得“哎呦我哪里见过”的单词要用本子记下来（因为你见过很多次啦，它考过很多次啦但你没记住它！）。就算你只做5份，也要做出最高的质量来，不然做一百份都没有用。
做题的时候，有一个事情非常重要！就是要计算时间！我觉得四六级时间充裕的人只有两种，一种是他们很会做，很快做完了，另一种是他们基本不会做，很快乱做完了。所以你做每一个题目要计算好多少时间（当然写作，快速阅读和听力的时间是规定好的，然而这也是需要锻炼速度的啊）。
其次一个事情就是要安排做题顺序。有些题目分数不高，但是很难，你可能要想很久，这样的话你应该把它安排在后面做。
三、写作
四级考前我的作文做了一些功夫。本人运气好，但是词汇不足，所以要写的基本不行。其实四六级考试的作文题目都不是很难（有话说不出来才是难啊，所以大家去背单词吧）。
第一个是，背套话。其实我们都知道自己大概写作水平是怎样的，如果你水平不高，那我们简练为主，不要写复杂的句式（错漏百出就要扣很多分）。你可以去找一些“四级作文常用例句/句式”来背一下，因为我们写得简单，往往一两个好的句子就可以为我们争取些分数了。
第二个，了解热门话题。这方面可以找往年的真题，或者网上找一下模拟题的作文题。往往你去买一套真题里面都会附赠一些小资料，有很多都是作文或者热点话题什么的。你不一定要背，我也知道你大概跟我一样背不下来。你可以多读读，有点感觉，大概知道别人会从什么角度来写就可以了。（这样你写的时候就“有话说”了）
四、听力
        如果你听力很差，那你要注意了，因为听力占的分数很多，所以要狠抓。如果你说你听力不错，那更加要狠抓，因为我们整体不好，这部分是我们抢分的项目。
        四级的听力语速不快，如果你做真题的话，对答案的时候要把原话都听清楚来（你真听不懂就对着答案看着听），多听多适应。如果你想多做些听力的练习，我推荐听VOASE（就是慢速的VOA）。不要忘了我们听力最后一道是听写题，听懂还要写出来真的很重要（于是大家真的要练还是可以来沪江做VOA听写嘛）！
        听力要提高确实不容易，因为我喜欢看美剧电影所以听力较好。个人感觉，要提高听力水平，主要是多听，你不一定刚开始就要听懂所有东西，主要是要适应。没事做的时候你可以听节目，或者文章，或者小说，或者真的没有把你做过的真题拿出来听。总之要培养一样语言的环境。挺多了你起码不觉得他们说话很快。
五、阅读
        阅读不太好向大家说明，因为每个人都有自己的做题方法，适合自己的才是好方法。主要困难还是词汇，因为语法方面还是高中难度而已。所以再一次呼吁大家去背单词啦！
        正如前面说的，我们做真题的时候要懂得把握时间，很多同学是前面做了几篇之后发现时间不够了，后面匆匆忙忙结果也没好好看就胡乱做了。在沪江上课的时候有个老师说过，做题最好是做完一组题，再涂答题卡，最好不要一边做一边涂，或者全部做完再涂，这样比较占时间。
        大家的能力和擅长的方面都不一样，语文不好的同学对于阅读题一般很苦恼。个人感觉阅读没有很多投机取巧的机会，如果基础真的很差，就多做这一方面的练习吧（比如坚持每天至少做1-2篇的阅读题这样），这个就自我衡量吧。
六、完形填空
        一般同学完形填空都会丢分很多，首先是很多词汇题，大家不认得单词，选项又都差不多样子，其次是做到后面了，发现时间又不够了，慌慌张张胡乱填个上去。
        我的这个单项分数也不高，最近上课老师给了点意见。我们应该先把一个段落看完再去这段话的选择题。当时真的恍然大悟，仔细想想把，你又不知道那个空选什么好，然后再那里纠结个半天都写不出来，当然后面的题目就不用说了。做完形填空应该多根据上下文来推断这个空应该是什么意思。而判断词汇的意思就只能交给你的词汇量啦（于是大家还是去背单词吧！）。
七、翻译题
   翻译题我们一般能翻译出半句话来。剩下半句就是人家要考你的一些固定搭配啊，特定用法啊什么的。于是基础差的我们面对翻译题还是不给力啊。这方面我也没有什么好意见，但是，起码你做过的翻译题里面，一些常用的搭配你应该要记下来。
        最后一点要提醒大家，翻译题千万不能放弃。尽量去翻，一定不要空着，因为你翻出来那半句话也是有分数的！
        总结下大概就是这七方面吧，讲的是自己的经验，应该比较适合一些水平跟我一样，英语不好的同学。要相信我，四级真的不难，好好背单词，认真做几套题，学会把握时间，我们都是可以过掉四级的！

《失乐园》（Paradise Lost）是17世纪英国诗人约翰·弥尔顿（John Milton）以旧约圣经创世纪为题目于1667年创作的史诗。 内容主要是描述堕落天使路西法（撒但）从对神的反叛失败后再重新振作，他对人间的嫉妒，以及他运用他的谋略化身为蛇，引诱亚当和夏娃违反神的禁令偷尝智慧树的果实，导致人类被逐出伊甸园的故事。在此书中，弥尔顿说明本书是为了：“辩证神对人类的态度”及阐明神的预见与人类的自由意志之间的冲突。
弥尔顿融合了异教信仰、古典希腊文献以及**教信仰，在此诗中探讨了多样的主题。从婚姻、**（弥尔顿本人在英国内战其间是活跃的**份子）、到君主政体，同时也辩证许多困难的神学议题，包括了：命运、宿命、三位一体、以及原罪和死亡在世界中的出现。另外还包含了天使、堕落天使、撒但、以及天堂中的战争。

Literary terms:refers to the words themselves with which we identify and describe literary elements and techniques. They are not found in literature and they are not “used” by authors.
Literary elements:refers to aspects or characteristics of a whole text. They are not “used,” per se, by authors; we derive what they are from reading the text. Most literary elements can be derived from any and all texts; for example, every story has a theme, every story has a setting, every story has a conflict, every story is written from a particular point-of-view, etc. In order to be discussed legitimately, literary elements must be specifically identified for that text.
Allegory:Where every aspect of a story is representative, usually symbolic, of something else, usually a larger abstract concept or important historical/geopolitical event.

Lord of the Flies provides a compelling allegory of human nature, illustrating the three sides of the psyche through its sharply-defined main characters.
Antagonist:Counterpart to the main character and source of a story’s main conflict. The person may not be “bad” or “evil” by any conventional moral standard, but he/she opposes the protagonist in a significant way.
Characterization:The author’s means of conveying to the reader a character’s personality, life history, values, physical attributes, etc. Also refers directly to a description thereof.

Atticus is characterized as an almost impossibly virtuous man, always doing what is right and imparting impeccable moral values to his children. 
Climax:The turning point in a story, at which the end result becomes inevitable, usually where something suddenly goes terribly wrong; the “dramatic high point” of a story.

The story reaches its climax in Act III, when Mercutio and Tybalt are killed and Romeo is banished from Verona.
Conflict:A struggle between opposing forces which is the driving force of a story. The outcome of any story provides a resolution of the conflict(s); this is what keeps the reader reading. Conflicts can exist between individual characters, between groups of characters, between a character and society, etc., and can also be purely abstract (conflicting ideas).

The conflict between the Montagues and Capulets causes Romeo and Juliet to behave irrationally once they fall in love.
Jack’s priorities are in conflict with those of Ralph and Piggy, which causes him to break away from the group.
Man-versus-nature is an important conflict in The Old Man and the Sea.
Context:Facts and conditions surrounding a given situation.

Madame Defarge’s actions seem almost reasonable in the context of the Revolution. 
Foil:A character who is meant to represent characteristics, values, ideas, etc. which are directly and diametrically opposed to those of another character, usually the protagonist.

The noble, virtuous father Macduff provides an ideal foil for the villainous, childless Macbeth.
Mood:The atmosphere or emotional condition created by the piece, within the setting.

The mood of Macbeth is dark, murky and mysterious, creating a sense of fear and uncertainty.
Motif:A recurring important idea or image. A motif differs from a theme in that it can be expressed as a single word or fragmentary phrase, while a theme usually must be expressed as a complete sentence.

Blood is an important motif in A Tale of Two Cities, appearing numerous times throughout the novel.
Plot:Sequence of events in a story. Most literary essay tasks will instruct the writer to “avoid plot summary;” the term is therefore rarely useful for response or critical analysis. When discussing plot, it is generally more useful to consider its structure, rather than simply “what happens.”
Point-of-view:The identity of the narrative voice; the person or entity through whom the reader experiences the story. May be third-person (no narrator; omniscient or limited) or first-person (narrated by a character in the story). Point-of-view is a commonly misused term; it does not refer to the author’s (or characters’) feelings, opinions, perspectives, biases, etc.

Though it is written in third-person, Animal Farm is told from the point-of-view of the common animals, unaware of what is really happening as the pigs gradually and secretively take over the farm.
Writing the story in first-person point-of-view enables the reader to experience the soldier’s fear and uncertainty, limiting the narrative to what only he saw, thought and felt during the battle.
Protagonist:The main character in a story, the one with whom the reader is meant to identify. The person is not necessarily “good” by any conventional moral standard, but he/she is the person in whose plight the reader is most invested.
Setting:The time and place where a story occurs. The setting can be specific (e.g., New York City in 1930) or ambiguous (e.g., a large urban city during economic hard times). Also refers directly to a description thereof.

The novel is set in the South during the racially turbulent 1930’s, when blacks were treated unfairly by the courts.
With the island, Golding creates a pristine, isolated and uncorrupted setting, in order to show that the boys’ actions result from their own essential nature rather than their environment.
Speaker:The “voice” of a poem; not to be confused with the poet him/herself. Analogous to the narrator in prose fiction.
Structure:The manner in which the various elements of a story are assembled.

The individual tales are told within the structure of the larger framing story, where the 29 travelers gather at the Inn at Southwark on their journey to Canterbury, telling stories to pass the time.
The play follows the traditional Shakespearean five-act plot structure, with exposition in Act I, development in Act II, the climax or turning point in Act III, falling action in Act IV, and resolution in Act V.
Theme:The main idea or message conveyed by the piece. A theme is generally stated as a complete sentence; an idea expressed as a single word or fragmentary phrase is a motif.

Orwell’s theme is that absolute power corrupts absolutely.
The idea that human beings are essentially brutal, savage creatures provides the central theme of the novel.
Tone:The apparent emotional state, or “attitude,” of the speaker/narrator/narrative voice, as conveyed through the language of the piece.

The poem has a bitter and sardonic tone, revealing the speaker’s anger and resentment.
The tone of Gulliver’s narration is unusually matter-of-fact, as he seems to regard these bizarre and absurd occurrences as ordinary or commonplace.
Tragedy:Where a story ends with a negative or unfortunate outcome which was essentially avoidable, usually caused by a flaw in the central character’s personality. Tragedy is really more of a dramatic genre than a literary element; a play can be referred to as a tragedy, but tragic events in a story are essentially part of the plot, rather than a literary device in themselves.
Tragic hero/tragic figure:A protagonist who comes to a bad end as a result of his own behavior, usually caused by a specific personality disorder or character flaw.

Willy Loman is one of the best-known tragic figures in American literature, oblivious to and unable to face the reality of his life.
Tragic flaw:The single characteristic (usually negative) or personality disorder which causes the downfall of the protagonist.

Othello’s tragic flaw is his jealousy, which consumes him so thoroughly that he is driven to murder his wife rather than accept, let alone confirm, her infidelity.
Literary techniques:refers to any specific, deliberate constructions of language which an author uses to convey meaning. An author’s use of a literary technique usually occurs with a single word or phrase, or a particular group of words or phrases, at one single point in a text. Unlike literary elements, literary techniques are not necessarily present in every text.
Anthropomorphism:Where animals or inanimate objects are portrayed in a story as people, such as by walking, talking, or being given arms, legs and/or facial features. (This technique is often incorrectly called personification.)

The King and Queen of Hearts and their playing-card courtiers comprise only one example of Carroll’s extensive use of anthropomorphism in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
Blank verse:Non-rhyming poetry, usually written in iambic pentameter.

Most of Shakespeare’s dialogue is written in blank verse, though it does occasionally rhyme.
Creative license:Exaggeration or alteration of objective facts or reality, for the purpose of enhancing meaning in a fictional context.

Orwell took some creative license with the historical events of the Russian Revolution, in order to clarify the ideological conflicts.
Dialogue:Where characters speak to one another; may often be used to substitute for exposition.

Since there is so little stage direction in Shakespeare, many of the characters’ thoughts and actions are revealed through dialogue.
Dramatic irony:Where the audience or reader is aware of something important, of which the characters in the story are not aware.

Macbeth responds with disbelief when the weird sisters call him Thane of Cawdor; ironically, unbeknownst to him, he had been granted that title by king Duncan in the previous scene.
Exposition:Where an author interrupts a story in order to explain something, usually to provide important background information.

The first chapter consists mostly of exposition, running down the family’s history and describing their living conditions.
Figurative language:Any use of language where the intended meaning differs from the actual literal meaning of the words themselves. There are many techniques which can rightly be called figurative language, including metaphor, simile, hyperbole, personification, onomatopoeia, verbal irony, and oxymoron. (Related: figure of speech)

The poet makes extensive use of figurative language, presenting the speaker’s feelings as colors, sounds and flavors.
Foreshadowing:Where future events in a story, or perhaps the outcome, are suggested by the author before they happen. Foreshadowing can take many forms and be accomplished in many ways, with varying degrees of subtlety. However, if the outcome is deliberately and explicitly revealed early in a story (such as by the use of a narrator or flashback structure), such information does not constitute foreshadowing.

Willy’s concern for his car foreshadows his eventual means of suicide.
Hyperbole:A description which exaggerates.

The author uses hyperbole to describe Mr. Smith, calling him “the greatest human being ever to walk the earth.”
Iambic pentameter:Poetry written with each line containing ten syllables, in five repetitions of a two-syllable pattern wherein the pronunciation emphasis is on the second syllable.

Shakespeare wrote most of his dialogue in iambic pentameter, often having to adjust the order and nature of words to fit the syllable pattern, thus endowing the language with even greater meaning.
Imagery:Language which describes something in detail, using words to substitute for and create sensory stimulation, including visual imagery and sound imagery. Also refers to specific and recurring types of images, such as food imagery and nature imagery.

The author’s use of visual imagery is impressive; the reader is able to see the island in all its lush, colorful splendor by reading Golding’s detailed descriptions.
Irony (a.k.a. Situational irony):Where an event occurs which is unexpected, and which is in absurd or mocking opposition to what is expected or appropriate. (Note: Most of the situations in the Alanis Morissette song are not ironic at all.) See also Dramatic irony; Verbal irony.

Jem and Scout are saved by Boo Radley, who had ironically been an object of fear and suspicion to them at the beginning of the novel.
Metaphor:A direct relationship where one thing or idea substitutes for another.

Shakespeare often uses light as a metaphor for Juliet; Romeo refers to her as the sun, as “a rich jewel in an Ethiop’s ear,” and as a solitary dove among crows.
Onomatopoeia:Where sounds are spelled out as words; or, when words describing sounds actually sound like the sounds they describe.

Remarque uses onomatopoeia to suggest the dying soldier’s agony, his last gasp described as a “gurgling rattle.”
Oxymoron:A contradiction in terms.

Romeo describes love using several oxymorons, such as “cold fire,” “feather of lead” and “sick health,” to suggest its contradictory nature.
Paradox:Where a situation is created which cannot possibly exist, because different elements of it cancel each other out.

In 1984, “doublethink” refers to the paradox where history is changed, and then claimed to have never been changed. 
A Tale of Two Cities opens with the famous paradox, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”
Parallelism:Use of similar or identical language, structures, events or ideas in different parts of a text.

Hobbs’ final strikeout parallels the Whammer’s striking out against him at the beginning of the novel.
Personification (I)Where inanimate objects or abstract concepts are seemingly endowed with human self-awareness; where human thoughts, actions and perceptions are directly attributed to inanimate objects or abstract ideas. (Not to be confused with anthropomorphism.)

Malamud personifies Hobbs’ bat, giving it a name, Wonderboy, referring to it using personal pronouns, and stating that “he went hungry” during Hobbs’ batting slump.
Personification (II)Where an abstract concept, such as a particular human behavior or a force of nature, is represented as a person.

The Greeks personified natural forces as gods; for example, the god Poseidon was the personification of the sea and its power over man.
Repetition:Where a specific word, phrase, or structure is repeated several times, to emphasize a particular idea.

The repetition of the words “What if…” at the beginning of each line reinforces the speaker’s confusion and fear.
Simile:An indirect relationship where one thing or idea is expressed as being similar to another. Similes usually contain the words “like” or “as,” but not always.

The simile in line 10 describes the lunar eclipse: “The moon appeared as a large drop of blood.”
Symbolism:The use of specific objects or images to represent abstract ideas. This term is commonly misused, describing any and all representational relationships, which in fact are more often metaphorical than symbolic. A symbol must be something tangible or visible, while the idea it symbolizes must be something abstract or universal.

Golding uses symbols to represent the various aspects of human nature and civilization as they are revealed in the novel. The conch symbolizes order and authority, while its gradual deterioration and ultimate destruction metaphorically represent the boys’ collective downfall.
Verbal irony:Where the meaning is intended to be the exact opposite of what the words actually mean. (Sarcasm is a tone of voice that often accompanies verbal irony, but they are not the same thing.)

Orwell gives this torture and brainwashing facility the ironic title, “Ministry of Love".
