Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1240 Passing Level [-]

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhi has become the target of public criticism again. This kid has taken another path. He has passed PETS5, the highest level of the national English proficiency test. This is a higher English proficiency test than professional level six, so Zhou Zhi can get it even after graduation. You can use it outside.

"No, no, I will continue to take the exam..." Zhou Zhi quickly said that like everyone else, he had to worry about the English exam and worked hard not to "cut himself off from the people."

"What else do you want to test for your elbow?" Tong Xiaolin was curious.

Through the organization of this food and wine party, Tong Xiaolin did a lot of work as Xu Liqin's deputy, and also established prestige in the class and dance club. Now she has been elected as the new dance troupe president.

The cold and arrogant temperament he had when he first entered school has finally dissipated a lot. Although it is still inaccessible to outsiders, at least he is somewhat approachable to people he knows well. This can be considered a huge improvement. .

"I'm going to try to take the GRE." Zhou Zhi said, "This thing is valid for five years, which is relatively long."

"What is GRE?" Everyone is relatively unfamiliar with this: "Can we take it?"

"GRE is the abbreviation of Graduate Record Examination, a test sponsored by the Educational Testing Service. This score is an entrance test score that is required by graduate schools in universities around the world. It is also what most admissions committees determine whether applicants will be awarded. The most important basis for scholarship.”

"Isn't that similar to TOFEL?" Zhang Qianyi is from the capital and is relatively clear about this.

"Yeah, but TOFEL is for undergraduate applications, and GRE is for postgraduate, doctoral, and MBA applications." Zhou Zhi put a bunch of potatoes into his oil dish: "This test is divided into three subjects. , Chinese, mathematics, logic, a total of [-] points."

"To get an OFFER for graduate students from foreign universities, you generally need to score more than [-] points. Candidates in our country basically have no problem in mathematics and logic, and can almost get the full score. The focus is on Chinese. This Chinese refers to English language includes two parts: Analytical Writing and Verbal.”

"Everyone can take the exam, but there are too few exam centers in the country now. Everyone can only go to the capital to register. Taking the exam in the capital, the exam location alone will be difficult for a large number of people."

"Then if you do well in the exam, you can apply to study as a graduate student at a foreign university?" Qi Xinyan asked.

"Yes, of course, if you pass the GRE, you will have greater confidence when applying for an undergraduate degree." Zhou Zhi said: "But the GRE is difficult for Chinese students, because ETS clearly explains that the GRE is It is set for candidates whose native language is English, and candidates whose native language is not English will be affected by their lower vocabulary than those whose native language is English, regardless of their Chinese, mathematics, or analytical writing."

"Although ETS does not recommend that all schools adopt uniform and strict minimum admission standards, just like our college entrance examination dividing lines, candidates whose native language is not English will still suffer."

"No wonder everyone wants to take the TOFEL test. It turns out that the GRE is still not enough." Lu Qiao had been listening carefully just now, and now he said: "No wonder you dare to take the test. I heard Ukitayu say that you are fighting with foreigners. Sometimes, my words are sharper than theirs!"

"Uh... I can't stand them even if they don't go dark for a quarter of an hour." Zhou Zhi's hand picking out the strings stopped in mid-air: "We were discussing things with Microsoft's business representatives at that time. Although the atmosphere was a little warmer, it wasn't... quarrel."

"Anyway, they said you won in the end." Wu Lingshuang said, "They said you were so talkative!"

"Brother, please tell us how to learn English!" Zhang Qianyi said, "If you fail the CET-[-] exam, you won't even get a diploma."

"Certificate [-] grammar is actually learned in high school." Zhou Zhi said: "The rest is vocabulary. Let me tell you, in fact, as long as you consolidate the vocabulary, if it exceeds [-], English will become your second language and you will never forget it for the rest of your life. The kind that can’t.”

"So [-] vocabulary words is just a hurdle. You should pass this level as soon as possible. From now on, let alone Level [-], even Level [-] will not be able to stop you."

"What about hearing? Listening is the most difficult." Lu Qiao frowned.

"Listening is the easiest thing." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "After you improve your vocabulary, you can go to the movie theater and watch more foreign language movies. LD discs will be played, and the ones below will have bilingual subtitles. You will also practice your listening skills and subtitles. I also read it and even learned traditional Chinese characters." "We don't have that much money!" Lu Jiayi protested.

"That's it, we go to the counselor and play the videotape in the electronic classroom on Wednesday and Saturday, and then we take turns playing the videotape recording on the rest of the days. I've long had a problem with the listening station in school!"

"What video tape?"

"Growing Pains, original soundtrack video." Zhou Zhi said: "We watched this when we were in middle school. Then we read the script. Isn't this more exciting than the materials in school?!"

"You have this thing? Why didn't you bring it out last semester?!" Li Dongping was very excited: "Carol is my favorite!"

"You're such a bastard!" Zhou Zhi expressed disdain: "Carol is actually five years older than us, and they all got married last year."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Her real name is Tracey Gold, and she is indeed married. Her husband was introduced to her by the actor who played her mother in "Growing Pains."" Du Wenxin said, "There is "Global Film and Television Pictorial" in the studio. It’s been climbed up there.”

"Let's talk about business first!" Zhang Qianyi interrupted the performance that the heartbroken Li Dongping wanted to continue: "We are now discussing how to pass Level [-]!"

"In short, it's all about adding vocabulary and language sense. Watching more movies and TV series with original soundtracks can basically pass the test. Oh, by the way, there is another good way."

"what way?"

"Listen to VOA, but you need a shortwave radio." Zhou Zhi said.

"Is it expensive?"

"It's quite expensive to buy brand-name products." Zhou Zhi said: "But there is another way, and that is to listen to the CCTV English channel through the radio. You can listen to it on the radio we sold last semester."

"I've accepted it, but I just can't understand it." Li Yijia was a little troubled.

"That's because the vocabulary is too small, the sense of language is not formed, and some professional terms are unclear." Zhou Zhi said: "This can be solved by going to the school newsstand frequently and reading "China Daily."

"Is this how you learned English?" Zhang Qianyi asked, "Why is it so good?"

"Don't learn my method, it takes too much time." Zhou Zhi was embarrassed to say that he was brought back from the previous life: "In addition to these, I also want to read novels, poetry and prose, all of which are original. The language is mine. My hobbies and interests, I spent a lot of time on them in middle school.”

"Elbow does have a talent for languages." Zhao Xing unintentionally did Zhou Zhi a favor and confirmed: "He also speaks Cantonese very well!"

"Yeah!" Du Wenxin nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "The first time I talked to him, I thought he was from Guangfu!"
