There is a lot of content, I hope everyone can read it patiently ~
First, the right medicine:
I interviewed dozens of college students on the official WeChat account before, and found that everyone's problems are roughly as follows:
Question 1: I don't understand.
There are three kinds of don't understand:
1, I can't understand the words, but I can't think of the Chinese meaning right away.
Diagnosis: on the one hand, the accumulation of listening vocabulary is not enough, on the other hand, the brain is not familiar with pronunciation, so that the response is not fast. Therefore, we should also pay attention to pronunciation when remembering words, especially for students who have little pronunciation or listening practice.
It will take a lot of time to do real questions. I suggest you use fragmented time to memorize words. You can recite 10 minutes when you are in line for lunch and dinner, 5 minutes after class, 20 minutes after four classes every day, and 10 minutes when you wake up before going to bed. This will relieve stress and won't be boring.
There are many ways to meet the back words briefly, but the same is "You need to persist, and then persist".
2. I can't understand the sentence
You can understand all the words, but when you connect them together, you will understand. ...
Diagnosis: We will encounter this situation in reading, and the solution is nothing more than memorizing grammar knowledge, breaking long sentences+listening more and practicing more to sharpen our ears. However, there are not many long and difficult sentences in the listening materials of CET-4 and CET-6, and the problem of long and difficult sentences will be solved when reading. So you can break a sentence in listening, and you can classify the words of the same topic when you have time. The key is to listen more and practice more.
3. I feel that I understand but can't do anything?
Diagnosis: What do you mean, "I seem to understand"?
Be generous and admit that you don't understand. Is it really difficult? The person who can ask this question shows that he has not reached the realm of "bosom friend" and wants to learn the skill of "knowing each other". This is to analyze where the reason for his own appearance is, is it unclear words or unclear sentences? You have to know the root cause before you can write a prescription and come up with a solution ~
Question 2: I don't understand (listening to raw materials)
Diagnosis: This involves reading comprehension, which means that basic problems such as words and grammar have not been solved, so it is even more necessary to brush listening.
Question 3: It's too late.
Diagnosis: There are three reasons.
1, your reaction is too slow.
2. Big brothers and big sisters who read listening materials read too fast.
3. It's too late to write down the answer to the next question.
Coping methods:
Listen to the pronunciation of words more often. If you encounter pronunciation problems such as linking and swallowing, you need to listen at least three times, record them in a notebook or paper and review them frequently.
Practice listening to real questions, and each set of real questions needs at least 1 times of intensive listening.
A good memory is better than a bad writing. Be sure to remember the keywords when you do the problem (what is the so-called "keyword" later).
Question 4: I was distracted. I just want to sleep anyway. . . . .
Never practice listening before going to bed. Pick an energetic time (such as early morning) and imagine yourself in the examination room at this time. Don't just listen, move your hands and head, try to keep yourself excited.
PS: In How to Read a Book, it is mentioned that taking notes or pointing to reading (hand drawing while listening) can help us improve our attention.
2. The fastest way to score
Prepare the project
Psychological preparation: overcoming the psychology of hearing aversion and fear. Some people, like others, don't know their true level, because everyone says it's difficult, so ta gives up listening.
Listening comprehension questions of CET-4 and CET-6: The last 5- 10 years is enough.
Word book: write a small notebook by hand, or search for words directly on the word APP and add them to the new word book for review. Of course, it mainly depends on personal goals and habits, as long as it is convenient to use.
I want to be a schoolmaster, Lin, or he won't play mobile APP (otherwise you can't help playing mobile phone, believe me. )
Specific operation method:
1, overcoming psychological barriers
Time given to 1h every day. Different from reading, when reading, once the number of words has passed, it is difficult to improve, and it takes a lot of questions to improve obviously. But at the beginning, there is still a lot of room for improvement in listening. Although the correct rate is terrible at first, as long as you spend some time every day, there will definitely be a significant leap in more than a month, so students with poor foundation should never give up.
2. For the first time, listen roughly
Different from the concept of "extensive listening", the purpose is to adapt to the rhythm of doing questions while listening to materials, and to simulate the exam scene while listening to the questions.
In the classroom environment, answer questions according to the speed and rhythm of the exam, and strictly control the time to do the questions.
Many students didn't insist on listening, either because it was too difficult or too fast, or because they were hit too hard and wanted to give up. Remember, 70% of the students think so. But no matter how bad you feel, keep listening, and never stop to look at the listening materials or look at the answers directly. Otherwise, it will form a dependence psychology, and you will feel insecure when doing the questions in the examination room, which will make you very upset and unable to adapt to the rhythm of doing the questions in the examination room.
Don't wait to see the result of the answer before you finish, and wait until you listen carefully for the second time before you answer.
3, the second time, listen carefully.
The "close listening" here is different from the "close listening" mentioned by other big bosses. Please don't confuse these two concepts.
Listening carefully is the stage of listening to the main meaning before listening attentively. Different from reading comprehension, listening test is to test the ability of fast listening comprehension, rather than let us deeply understand the whole material. Many students can't grasp this degree well, and they will struggle with how to grasp the relationship between details and the whole. They spend too much time on details, but each question in the listening test takes only 2-3 seconds. If they think too much, they will miss the next question. So when training, we should train them to understand the general idea.
Listen and write down the key words you hear, so as to recall the key contents (especially time, numbers, turning points, cause and effect, etc. If you don't hear the key words, try to write down everything you hear, and then guess the correct answer by combining the options. When you do the problem, you will find that most of the correct options are what you hear, not what you think is correct through logical reasoning.
Listen carefully for a few times and you will find that many places are different from what you heard for the first time, and you can also hear many details that you ignored for the first time.
4. Look up words
Every new word in the real question is worth digging carefully.
There are three ways to deal with new words:
1) Write it on the test paper or next to the topic in the listening material, and pay attention to combining different listening scenes when remembering words.
2) Write it in a notebook that you carry with you, and you can read it when it is fragmented, such as before going to bed and waiting for dinner, which is better than reciting it intensively.
3) Search for new words in Zhihu's memorizing words (or other suitable apps), add a new word book, and learn with other new words.
These three methods can also be used in other exams on other questions, and the effect is better with food. According to their own characteristics, watch before going to bed, get up, wait for the bus, wait for dinner, watch in class and watch after class. In short, it is right to keep repeating.
It is worth noting that memorizing words here is done at the same time as doing real questions and brushing reading, rather than waiting for words to accumulate enough before starting listening. Words can never be recited, and waiting is another rhetoric of procrastination and evasion. Moreover, it is better to train different questions together.
5. Check the words and answer them.
The result of the first rough listening represents your current level, and the result of the second close listening represents your potential level. Compare the correct rates of the two times, see where your weaknesses and promotion direction are, and study the law of proposition so that you can know yourself better.
6. Listen carefully
The difference between "listening carefully" and "listening carefully" is that listening carefully is to improve candidates' ability to take exams, while listening attentively is essentially to improve listening comprehension.
Listen carefully according to the question type or question type until you can understand all the words and sentences and repeat the main idea in English.
After listening to it several times, you will know where there is a routine and where there is a minefield, and slowly you will get to the focus of the proposer. Another thing to note is that you should listen to the general idea first, and then go into the details.
This process will take a lot of time, and it will take about 3-4 hours to finish a set of listening questions carefully. So we need to get to the point. For example, if you think the news material is too difficult, takes a long time, and the effect is not as good as other short conversations, then you should first overcome other problems of random improvement and put aside the difficulties for the time being.
This is the easiest way to reach the potential level.
7. Resumption of trading
Everyone knows how to recite words and brush questions, but 90% of the candidates can't summarize them. However, this is the most practical and useful method, and it is a key step to make all the above work "99-99 unified".
It takes more time and cost to achieve the ideal effect just by brushing the surface questions. Students who are good at summing up often know how to draw inferences from others, so as to cope with changes with constant changes.
To sum up is to overcome the psychological obstacles → the first rough listening → the second careful listening → searching for words → answering questions → intensive listening → summing up.
It will be painful at first, but "good medicine tastes bitter", a truly scientific and effective method, makes people feel painful at first, and then it forms the Matthew effect. The more you learn, the more you feel fulfilled, and the more you learn, the more passionate you are.
Some students began to question the usefulness of this method after one week, and then wanted to try a more "simple and effective" "folk prescription". Some students have a correct attitude and correct methods, form positive feedback and practice in a down-to-earth manner, which will have an effect in a week, while those who make slow progress will have obvious improvement in a month or so.
Second, it is easy to confuse difficult words in listening.
Pay attention to collecting words that are easy to be confused in listening, and summarize them in a notebook or post-it notes for review. I won't repeat this step.
Three. Topic types and test sites
1, short story type
Main types: humorous stories and anecdotes.
Three proving grounds:
(1) The first three sentences: explain the background of the story and what problems the protagonist encounters.
(2) What kind of planning decision did the hero make and why?

6. Investigation and research questions
Main types: special investigation and experimental research conducted by foreign universities or research institutions.
Four test sites:
(1) Begins with a fact of daily life.
(2) Steps, purposes and results, data comparison will occur.
(3) Analyze the results and draw relevant inferences.
(4) Sometimes there are expert opinions.
Fourth, the law of solving problems
By looking at the options first, you can clarify all kinds of information about the topic:
1. What information should be recorded and what are the key words?
Turn sign (though, but);
Causal words (causes);
Suggestion, the best;
Time, year, place and year;
Comparative, superlative (more ... than) (like to test with numbers).
2. If it is an obvious dialogue between men and women, you can temporarily ignore the names and pay attention to the contents corresponding to different genders. Because the distinction between names is not easy to compare, and listening to sounds can directly correspond the two sounds with the content, it is also possible to take notes with time scales "m" and "w".
Give a chestnut (question):
What does this man mean?
2. What does this woman mean?
3. What can we infer from the conversation?
3. Test method of digital questions
Test the pronunciation differences of numbers, such as 18 and 80, (8 and 80); ;
Multiplication and comparison levels (maximum and minimum);
Test identity ... as, multiplication and other fixed combinations around multiples;
4. Tolerance or sum
This is more common. People usually ask who missed the bus (plane is late, train is late). What time is it? How long will the movie start? Ask about the movie opening time and so on. Or conversely, ask: What time is it? What time does the plane take off?
Don't think that simplicity is carelessness! These are the ideas of the proponent!
Chestnuts:
M: It's 7 o'clock now, and the train will leave in 30 minutes.
Q: What time does the train leave?
5. People, occupations, places and occasions involved in the topic.
In off-topic questions, the theme of the question may be exposed. Candidates can set up a general scene by reading all the options quickly, such as library, hotel, hospital and so on. So as to associate with the vocabulary and common topics related to the environment and quickly enter the state.
PS: It will also be reverse-tested, such as reading a dialogue, and then letting you judge where the dialogue is based on the content.
6. When the four options are similar phrases, the test center is in the details.
At this time, candidates should fully concentrate on understanding the details such as time and numbers corresponding to the options;
Chestnuts:
M:I like singing, swimming and painting.
I like watching movies, swimming and shopping.
Q: What are their common interests?
Although there is only one correct answer in the four options, the other three options are also related to the topic.
Use the rule of setting interference options, make bold guesses, and get an impression of the problem in advance through guessing.
Combining the similarity of the four options, you can often get a lot of hints, and sometimes you can even guess the answer. When listening to the questions, candidates can check the information given by the recorder and use the elimination method to eliminate the wrong options and get the correct answer.
8. The most taboo is entanglement.
Don't entangle when you do the problem, don't entangle millions? Don't! Yes! Correct! Knot!
There is only 8 seconds to answer each question in the exam. After doing one question, you miss the next one.
Listening is about speed and basic comprehension. You can push half a step forward at most, and there will be more if you take one step (so you can't do listening problems with reading comprehension thinking, which is easy to "over-think"). As long as it is not a clear choice, it is recommended not to change the answer casually.
Come on, sing with me ...
6. Problem coverage skills
How can you be fooled when you really can't? (These "hidden rules" are only for babies who are really "cornered" .....)
The unspoken rule 1 is strict with teachers.
In the school classroom scene of listening dialogue, there is often a dialogue with the teacher, which is nothing more than the evaluation of the classroom, the evaluation of the lecture and the evaluation of the teacher's requirements. Teachers who appear in listening are always very strict, not only for students, but also for themselves, which are mainly reflected in: strict requirements for students, punctuality in class, wonderful lectures and so on. But sometimes students will say that the course is difficult and the lectures are incomprehensible.
Give a chestnut:
Uh ... It seems that I'm going to be a little late for class. Hope dear. Clark didn't start on time today.
Woman: Are you kidding? When he starts his class, you can set your watch.
Q: What can be inferred about Pro? Clark.
He wants his students to attend classes on time.
B) He doesn't allow students to tell jokes in class.
He always attends classes on time.
He seldom noticed which student was late.
This is a typical teacher's harsh scene. In the conversation, the boy said, maybe I'll be a little late. I hope Professor Clark didn't attend class on time today. The girl replied: Are you kidding? You can look at your watch every time he attends class.
Hidden rules 2. Homework is difficult and can't be finished.
It is no exaggeration to say that homework is every student's nightmare, whether it is for China students or foreign students, so a large number of students often complain about homework in listening conversations. Without exception, they always complain that there are too many homework to complete. The homework is difficult and cannot be done; There are many problems when doing homework, and sometimes it takes two people to reach an agreement. It should be understood that homework includes all kinds of homework and homework as well as reading list.
Hidden rules 3. Examinations are always difficult.
Just like homework, exams are one of the topics that students often have to talk about. Do students like exams? No doubt I don't know. Will the exam be easy? Just ask the students themselves. They always find exams difficult. It is often difficult to pass, let alone get high marks.
Give a chestnut:
John, how was your math exam?
M: I barely survived. This is just a passing grade, but it's better than I expected.
Question: What have we learned from the dialogue?
Although John tried his best, he failed.
B) John did better than he thought.
John got excellent grades, which was unexpected.
John is disappointed with his math scores.
This is a typical scene where exams are always difficult. In the dialogue, the girl said, how did you do in the math exam? The boy replied: I didn't do well in the exam. I just passed, but it's better than I expected. Therefore, it is worth mentioning that I barely passed means I barely passed.
Unspoken rules 4. Reservations are always impossible.
There will always be some unsatisfactory situations in listening dialogue. As long as you pay attention, you will find "I'm sorry" everywhere. For example, if you book a plane ticket, you can't buy it at level 4 or level 6, and you can't decide.
Unspoken rules 5. Boys are always fascinated by games (such as football matches).
From any student's point of view, this is a very normal thinking, and the competition in listening dialogue will always be greatly concerned by boys. If the game conflicts with other activities (such as concerts), boys will definitely choose to watch the game. If you haven't seen the game, you may be sick.
Hidden rules 6. Girls are generally excellent.
Generally speaking, in listening dialogue, girls love learning, and their academic performance is always good, and they are often better than boys. And always likes to help boys in various situations.
Unspoken rules 7. Planes and trains are always late or delayed.
This is also a universal characteristic law. Needless to say.
Unspoken rules 8. Choose the one who listens the most.
Repetitive words are generally the head words, just like the subject words with the highest frequency in reading. So, I really don't know what to choose, so I choose the one I hear the most.
Hidden rules 9. In general, options are evenly distributed.
If there is no D in your choice, fill in the rest.
Hidden rules 10. If you really haven't heard anything, it's not satisfactory. . . . .
Then choose c,
Then do more good deeds.
You know that.
Ok, have you memorized all these words?
Finally, let's summarize the main points:
1. Find your own problem and split in two.
2. The fastest scoring method: overcoming psychological barriers → listening roughly for the first time → listening carefully for the second time → searching words → answering questions → listening carefully → summarizing, 7 steps.
Three. Summarize confusing words.
4. Material types and test sites: 6 types and corresponding test sites.
5. Law of problem solving: 8 Law of problem solving.
6. Problem solving skills: 10 Problem solving skills.
There are so many ways, why not stop brushing your fingers and take action to give yourself a satisfactory or even proud result?
