New Oriental - Reading

(Episode 1)

法律、历史、实事政治文章被消灭了。IELTS要国际化。

文章长度增加，难度保持稳定。

听、说、读、写四个方面，写是最难的，而听和读是其次的。
    听力里填的单词大都是生活化的简单单词。chocolate, tidy bear.

(Episode 2)

Tofel, 12000 words, without any difficulty.

But，大学四级词汇是基础词汇，需要完全理解。3500个词汇就足够了。

文章来源：

1.     Social Report.
2.     Media -   Financial Times,

                    National Geography(美国人的杂志).
                    Economists(用词比较规范).

伦敦学生的第一个作业：比较中国国企改革与俄罗斯、东欧...之间的区别。15本书，7500页，5天。那真是一点希望都没有。那里的教授真的很牛。

如果你到澳大利亚或者英国读商科的话，规劝大家去看一看 "Economists".

Episode 3:评分方式：

IELTS分数跟奖学金完全无关，所以应该以现实的方式参加考试，所以学校要求你考到几分，你就要考到几分。

口语的考试：千万不要狂讲。

Episode 4:

e-commerce MBA.

Tofel的阅读没什么，但是可怕的听力。

5.0分16-22
5.5分19-22
6.0分23-28
6.5分26-28
7.0分29-35
7.5分32-35
8.0分36-39
8.5分38-39
9.0分40

阅读方面是四个方面最简单的。

题型：

1.     Timing   
   
2.     Speed
3.     Feeling

看懂文章并不一定做好题目。

节约时间，提供速度，增强语感。

1. Headings (绝对不容易)
2. Ture /False /Not given (非常的郁闷)  (Episode 5).

          Yes的概率最高，Liner Thinking
    3.   Summary.
          一到两个形容词，其余的是名词。
    4.   Multiple-choise
          通常只有一个是正确的。

    5.   Matching (比较考察大家英语水平的)
          常见的：人名及理论   论点与论据   概念与定义
    6.   图表填空
    7.   Flow charts(非常容易做)
    8.   Sentence Comprehension(一般都给选项)
          根据语法手段来做

阅读习惯:
    (Episode 2-1)

Tofel都要求把文章看懂, 但是

1. IELTS没有必要把文章全部看懂
2. 中心词的对应过程
3. 重要信息点的反复过程

          时间, 地名, 人名, 斜体字, 大写字母, 黑体字, 括号, 引号, 划线部分, 标题是最重要的.

IELTS的所有考试必须直接看题做题, 没有必要"浏览".

    扫视一边40道题在哪里, 10秒钟就够了, 千万不要忘记阅读题目的要求.

    阅读的方式应该是去找关键的信息点. - 5秒钟之内. 千万不要患得患失, 要保持速度.

    只有True/Fause/Not Given是需要看懂文章的.

     (Episode 2-2)
    能看懂的话最好,但是我会怀疑你的速度不够, 必须按要求的时间完成, 并把时间记在笔记本上, 并    且总结每种题型自己错了多少题.

    如果你四级词汇没问题的话, 没有必要背任何的词汇书.

    "How to prepare for IELTS"
       他的Practical Test剧难. 但是Reading 的基本训练是可以的.

    看Title, 找到文章的中心概念.
       然后直接看题,做题. 分析题目要求.

    阅读习惯:
       一要有实力
       二要有好的方法.
