The first day of the 2024 graduate school entrance examination has passed, and the subject of today's exam is English. Many candidates have experienced a day of intense exams, among which English I and English II are the two subjects that attract the most attention. For test takers, the difficulty of the test questions is directly related to their scores and mood. So, are today's English test questions difficult?Below we will listen to the views of candidates and teachers.
Many test takers reported that the English 1 test questions were relatively simple. They think that multiple-choice questions and word-choice fill-in-the-blank are not even as good as high school level. Some candidates even happily said that this year's test questions are the easiest in recent years. This may be relatively good news for those who have excelled in their professional classes but have poor English scores.
In addition, the English 1 essay looks a little more difficult. Some candidates complained that "the most fierce 1 in English 1 composition" was on the hot search. According to one teacher, the essay on English 1 requires candidates to write a letter of introduction about an ancient Chinese scientist. For this requirement, one candidate expressed confusion: "You asked me to write ancientchinese scientist in Chinese I can't even write it, there are many ancients in my head, but none of them are ancient Chinese scientists." In fact, some candidates couldn't remember who were ancient scientists for a while, and some students even didn't write essays at all, but asked the teachers who read the papers to search for Chinese scientists on the Internet, and even directly recommended them to read newspapers and television. The situation is both poignant and laughable. In a way, this question not only examines English proficiency, but also an understanding of Chinese culture.
Compared with English 1, English 2 is more likely to be rated as "difficult". A candidate majoring in English said that the time to do the questions was very tight, and it was difficult to read and turn through the two papers, so much so that he turned back to the first page to see if he had taken the wrong English 1 test paper. Another candidate who scored 70 points in the English II test last year said that he didn't know if he could score 50 points this year. "English 2, after the exam, I saw a lot of people crying, it was really difficult. One candidate said.
Although the difficulty of the English test can have an impact on the mood of the candidates, we do not need to worry too much. The postgraduate entrance examination is a selective examination, not a passing examination, and the difficulty and ease of the test paper do not have much significance, and the final result depends on the ranking. If the test paper is relatively simple, then everyone's score will also be relatively higher;And if the exam paper is difficult, then not only will you find it difficult, but other candidates will also feel the same pressure. Therefore, we do not need to worry too much about the difficulty of the exam paper.
The difficulty of the English test questions directly affects the candidate's score and mood. This year's English 1 test questions are relatively easy, while the English 2 test questions are more difficult. However, don't worry too much, the graduate school entrance examination is a selective exam, and the final result depends on the ranking. We should let go of our psychological burden, concentrate on reviewing the professional courses that follow, and strive to improve our overall quality. Finally, I wish all candidates the best of luck in tomorrow's exams.
In addition to ancient scientists such as Zhang Heng and Zu Chongzhi, there are many other outstanding ancient scientists in China that are worth learning about. For example, the ancient mathematician Liu Hui is known for his outstanding contributions to mathematics. He proposed many important mathematical principles, such as the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic and the Island Arithmetic. In addition, the ancient physicist Shen Kuo is also a scientist who cannot be ignored. He has made important contributions to astronomy, mathematics and other fields, and is known as one of the giants of ancient Chinese science. Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg of ancient Chinese scientists, and there are many other figures worth exploring and learning from.
In the process of re-understanding ancient scientists, we find that not only did ancient China have many outstanding scientific talents, but their contributions are still significant at that time and today. By understanding their scientific ideas and achievements, we are better able to pass on and develop a scientific culture. Therefore, not just to prepare for English exams, it is important for each of us to learn about ancient scientists.
The Postgraduate English Test is a challenging test for many candidates, and no matter how difficult the questions are, we need to maintain a normal mindset and believe in our own strength. Whether it is English 1 or English 2, as long as we prepare for the exam carefully, follow the steps, believe in our own ability, believe in our talents, and believe in our own efforts, we can finally achieve good results. Not only that, this examination is also an opportunity for us to understand and know ancient Chinese scientists, and I hope that through this examination, we can broaden our knowledge, improve our academic literacy, and make more and more important contributions to future scientific research and development. Come on!
