考研报名已经结束了,转眼也到了11月,按照惯例,每年12月会有研究生入学考试,不知各位复习的怎么样了,其它科目就不多说了,这里我们重点来说一下考研英语二,也就是我们所说的MBA英语,客观地来说,考试难度没有想象的那么大,不过该如何复习才能取得更好的效果呢?我来分享一下我自己的观点,不过首先说一个不太好的现象,每年都会碰到临近考试的时候,很多同学才开始积极地抱怨自己的英语基础不够好,词汇不行,语法不行,做题不会,不知如何下手复习,不过你们也需要考虑一下,英语真的是靠这么一两个月突击复习一下就可以大幅度提高的吗?即使再好的做题技巧,再好的英文写作模板,没有一定的基础和练习,于你也是毫无用武之地,所以英语复习要趁早,只要开始行动起来,尽最大努力复习,都还不晚,我也抱怨完了,接下来分享点实用英语知识,帮助大家提高才是重点。
英语考试有四大模块:完形填空、阅读理解、英译汉翻译和英文写作
考试时间:3个小时
完型填空和阅读理解都是选择题,读英文文章然后做题,所占分值大,需要重视,做题技巧不多说了,上课各位老师都为大家总结并细心讲解了,接下来看看纯英语水平方面的东西,词汇、语法和句子分析与理解,为什么一直重点强调记真题词汇,一方面原因是,学习真题词汇有针对性,另一方面是,可以提供语境,有助于记忆又可以顺便分析一下句子,词汇和语法组成句子,考试考得是句子;建议每天早上上班前拿出半个小时记记单词,晚上就是做做题,适当整理一下笔记,需要不断坚持。
关于写作,前面的微信公众号文章中也有简单的介绍过,还是词汇、语法和句子,结构上就是:第一段描述图表,第二段写原因,最后一段简单总结,首先,描述每种图表的词汇得知道,也要会应用,这些单词数量也不多,我们也有专门整理,不知道的随时联系我,此外,语法的话,除了基本的简单句,再会用个定语从句就基本够了,定语从句不懂得同学,也可以单独联系我,我会明明白白细细道来,所以基础不好还是不用很着急,沉住气,稳住裆,分析问题,解决问题才是硬道理,最后想说的是,写作一定要自己亲自练习写几篇,写完后,找老师帮你批阅一下,指出写的好的地方,继续保持,不足的地方,然后想办法改进提高。(信息全面、语言简洁、用词准确、词汇多样性、语法准确、语法多样性、语言和内容逻辑性好、条理清晰,衔接和过渡自然,这些问题我们都有专门资料专业解答)
最近的英语模拟考试中,写作(图表作文)是一个线形图,反应的数据有一部分预测的,这里为大家整理了表达 “预计/预估” 的几个词汇,词汇多样性也是评分的一个标准。
expect / estimate / project / forecast / predict
例句是帮助理解其用法
House prices are expected to rise sharply.
预计房价会急剧上涨。
The deal is estimated to be worth around $1.5 million.
这笔交易估计价值150万元。
Temperatures were forecast to reach 40℃.
预报温度将达40摄氏度。
The report forecasts that prices will rise by 3% next month.
报告预测下月物价将上涨3%。
The unemployment rate has been projected to fall.
据预测失业率将下降。
注:forcast
英文释义:to say what you think will happen in the future based on information that is available now 预测
过去式和过去分词均为 forecast
这一篇关于交通方面的英文写作(不是MBA英文写作,不过可以互相借鉴),可以了解下相关表达和词汇,经济、科技、交通等也都是写作中分析原因时最常考虑的方面
In a number of countries, some people think it is necessary to spend large sums of money on constructing new railway lines for very fast trains between cities. Others believe the money should be spent on improving existing public transport.
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Nowadays, high-speed trains enjoy much popularity in some countries, while in some places some people insist that the investment in the present public vehicles should be made. Views on how to respond to this phenomenon tend to be divisive.
It saves plenty of time for people who travel a lot by the very fast railway transport, and it really improves the efficiency in the fast changing world. High-speed trains are powered by electricity, which helps reduce the pollution as well. Moreover, the new and updated facilities and equipment in the trains make the journey more enjoyable than buses and trains with diesel locomotives do. For example, there are free Wifi connections, longer legroom, lower noises, many electricity outlets available in the new trains. Overall, the life is becoming much easier with an increasing number of new railroad lines constructed in some nations.
There are also some people who think government should upgrade the existing public transport. This is because vehicles, like buses, undergrounds, old trains, offer cheaper fares which is affordable for the low-income people, and give some discounts for students, the old and the disabled. In addition, buses are much more flexible in terms of the time schedule and stations. My parents live in a small town without trains and planes, and I have to visit them by coach. I really hope the old and dirty seats of some buses can be replaced with clean and comfortable ones sooner.
Personally, I think money is supposed to be used for both these two kind of transport systems which are catered for the needs of different people. They are complementary in terms of their distinct advantages mentioned above.
