What do English majors need to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination?

1. Basic knowledge of postgraduate entrance examination for English majors 1. What is the postgraduate entrance examination for English majors? English for English majors is quite different from that for ordinary students. Postgraduate English is an English proficiency test for candidates who apply for non-English majors. It is a unified problem set by the Ministry of Education. It mainly examines the basic knowledge of college English, including cloze, reading, new questions, translation and writing. Paper score 100, compared with politics (100) and other two professional courses (150 respectively), the postgraduate entrance examination for English majors is aimed at candidates who apply for English majors. Examination subjects are: politics, basic English (150), comprehensive English or specialized courses (150), second foreign language (100) * *. 2. What is the major and direction of postgraduate entrance examination for English majors? The major disciplines are English language and literature, and the other is foreign linguistics and applied linguistics. Many large and medium-sized colleges and universities take different second major courses with research direction in the entrance examination. Many directions, such as British and American literature, or more specifically, English literature, American literature, Australian literature and so on. (for example, North China is particularly careful), translation theory and practice (interpretation, translation, simultaneous interpretation, translation of classics, dictionary compilation, etc. ), linguistics (semantics, stylistics, etc. ), English teaching method research .. Open some enrollment brochures with English major enrollment units. 3. Why do people always say that it is too difficult for English majors to take the postgraduate entrance examination? Why don't some schools include English majors in the reference books for postgraduate entrance examination? The entrance examination for English majors is too difficult, mainly because the second foreign language examination is too difficult and there are too many other books. Basic knowledge is particularly important in the entrance examination. In addition, some colleges and universities are stupid and don't publish reference books and test questions for English majors like other majors, which makes the entrance examination for English majors more and more mysterious. At this point, when you open the enrollment pages of some schools that recruit English majors, you can see that when you come across a bibliography of English majors, you either don't write in detail or write: proficiency test, and you don't do any bibliography. Of course, there are tricks. We'll talk about them later. 4. Besides the national unified political subjects, what other three unified examinations are there for English majors? Only one of the four courses in the preliminary examination for English majors is a national unified proposition, and the other three courses are all offered by an enrollment unit (individual languages belong to the national unified examination, but such schools are generally rare and will be explained in the enrollment brochure in advance). The second is to apply for a school, French or Japanese or German or Russian. French textbooks are generally French for Foreign Students, A Concise French Course, A Concise French Course for Universities by Xue, and French for Public * * * (French) or French for Newly Established Universities ... Because I am an international student studying French and don't know much about Japanese, it may be "standard Japanese" ~ ~ French learning materials for large and medium-sized cities or primary schools. Dictionaries, dictionaries, reference books, workbooks ... some foreign language bookstores don't have all of them, so you can introduce some later. Of the two specialized courses, one is generally basic English or comprehensive English (with different names, the scope of the examination and the types of questions are generally similar, what are the options, gestalt, translation, writing, etc. ), but there is always advanced English in it. The topic of rhetoric and writing methods produced by FLTRP is still very difficult. The level of other questions is equivalent to GRE or TEM-48, and some schools require writing more than 500 words! Other professional courses vary according to the school and professional direction. There is no unified question in the country, and all enrollment units issue their own questions. Generally speaking, large comprehensive schools have different test directions. Some small schools don't take the test direction at first, and they can only take the test direction after they are admitted to the master's degree. For example, if you want to test the direction of literature, you must test the history of English literature and selected readings of its works (generally, there are many textbooks written by Liu Bingshan or Wu, and the answers are all in English). Linguistics generally tests English linguistics (generally written in English by Hu Zhuanglin and Dai Weidong). Translation direction: Zhang Peiji's English-Chinese Translation Course is a classic textbook, as well as the Chinese-English Translation Course. Bibliography is a reference, and generally does not give the original title of the textbook. The Chinese-English examination is to use the translation methods introduced in the textbook to translate words, sentences, articles, modern Chinese, classical Chinese and famous works. However, the English-Chinese translation test is usually the original text in newspapers and magazines. Several sets of textbooks written by .............................. Foreign Research Institute Zhu or two sets of textbooks written by Jilin Science and Technology Publishing House Zhang are extracted from English classics. Basically, this kind of test is all about memorizing the knowledge in textbooks. Most bookstores can't find such books, let alone their counseling books. In addition, in order to test the examinee's Chinese level, it is necessary to test the knowledge of modern Chinese, Chinese and foreign literature, writing and so on. These are Chinese answer sheets. Generally, reference books are Chinese majors, and the answers to modern Chinese, ancient Chinese, China literature history and foreign literature history are not so simple, especially the grammar of modern Chinese and ancient Chinese. Literary common sense belongs to rote learning, and there is a lot of knowledge in high school and junior high school. In addition, there are special requirements for business English, lexicography and lexicology. 2. Guiding English Linguistics for English Majors' Postgraduate Entrance Examination is a big problem for candidates who are going to take the postgraduate entrance examination for English majors. Many English majors still feel at a loss after graduation, especially those who take the postgraduate entrance examination for English majors. 1, professional candidates should make choices according to their future development wishes. Choosing a favorite city and favorite major is also the motivation for candidates to prepare for the exam. It is suggested that English postgraduate candidates should not form the difference between key institutions and general institutions in their minds. Don't be afraid of key institutions, thinking that they are out of reach. As long as you study hard, you may pass the exam. For ordinary colleges and universities, don't underestimate it, because every college with the ability to set up a master's degree has its own advantages. It is important for candidates to choose an institution with their own research interests. It is much easier for science students to transfer to liberal arts majors than to transfer from liberal arts to science, but for English linguistics, an abstract subject, some efforts must be made to achieve good results. 2. Review books The designated books for English linguistics in English colleges all over the country are not as varied as literature. Among them, the linguistics course of Peking University Hu Zhuanglin Branch is the main course, accounting for about 85% of the schools that designated the book. Others include the New Textbook of Linguistics by FLTRP teachers Liu Runqing and Xu Wen, the Applied Linguistics by Du Shichun, and the Concise English Linguistics Course by Dai Weidong. Some schools don't specify reference books. For schools that do not provide designated books, they can make preparations by studying the real questions of the school over the years. For colleges and universities that provide reference books, it is the key to win by carefully studying the after-class exercises of designated books and mastering the examples in the books. However, everything remains the same. For the focus of language examination, we still emphasize the mastery of core knowledge. 3. The common problems in English linguistics examination mainly include noun explanation, analysis and discussion, practical application, judging right and wrong, filling in the blanks and choosing. Colleges and universities will examine many basic concepts in the test paper, and the knowledge points that candidates are required to remember are very complicated. For different institutions, there will be different emphasis. For example, some colleges and universities will set application questions and ask candidates to analyze with examples, which will cause a great burden to candidates' writing, and require candidates to be fully prepared in their usual review and know the corresponding knowledge points by heart. For colleges with high scores, candidates should pay attention to thinking deeply about knowledge points when preparing for the exam, so that they can respond quickly and smoothly when they encounter relevant application questions in the English postgraduate exam. 3. Frequently asked questions in review: First of all, we must determine the target schools for English majors to take the postgraduate entrance examination, carefully understand their requirements, review them in a targeted manner, and don't easily change the institutions that apply for the exam; We should pay attention to basic concepts and principles in theoretical research, and integrate theory with practice in applied research. The core discipline of linguistics should be given priority to, supplemented by marginal disciplines; The ultimate goal is to establish a discipline framework, and the main task is to complete after-school exercises; It should be based on understanding and expressed by memory; Good at comparative research.
