After the results of the preliminary examination came out, many students had already begun to prepare for the re-examination with all their might. Today, for those who are preparing for the preparation of the French Language and Literature major, I will briefly introduce some question types, study suggestions, and some reference material recommendations in the written test and interview in the re-examination of this major in previous years, so that you can better prepare for the re-examination.
Preparation Guide for the French Language and Literature Re-examination for the Postgraduate Entrance Examination.
The re-examination of the postgraduate examination of French language and literature is generally conducted on the same day as the professional written examination (morning) and professional interview (afternoon), and the results will be released about an hour after the end of the examination.
The full score of the re-examination is 500 points, including two parts: 150 points for the written test, 1 hour; The interview is 350 points, about 20 minutes. When the teachers of Shanghai and foreign countries score, they will score according to the 100-point system for each subject, and then convert it when the total score of the re-examination is finally calculated. For example, 23 postgraduate entrance examinations: "The total score of the final re-examination = the score of the written test * 1."5 + interview score * 35”。The final admission score is the total score of the re-examination + the technical score of the preliminary examination.
1. Professional written examination.
The content of the written test in the morning is similar to that of the preliminary test, and the amount of questions is large, and the questions are not very difficult. In terms of question types, it generally includes fill-in-the-blank tenses (such as the beginning of "The Outsider" in previous years), error correction questions, reading choice and reading comprehension written expressions, and a large number of translation questions.
The exam is only an hour long, and many students may not be able to finish the paper. It is recommended to do the question intuitively, don't hesitate for too long, be psychologically stable, the pen speed must be absolutely fast, how much can be done, basically the pen is flying, write what comes to mind, and if you hesitate for too long, you will only leave a lot of blanks on the volume. In the re-examination course of Gao Yi, we will conduct detailed combing and training for all question types.
2. Professional interview.
We will focus on this in the re-examination course of Gao Yi, because the proportion of the score in this part is very high, so you need to focus on preparing for the exam. The professional interview for the postgraduate entrance examination of French language and literature is about 20 minutes for each student, and some are less than 20 minutes.
In previous years, the format of the common exam was that when the first student went in, the next student was outside the backfield. The examination board will send an article in advance, such as the article about liberté in previous years, read the article outside, and read it for about 8 to 10 minutes. After the students in front come out of the examination room, the next one enters the examination room.
The interviewer will usually ask you if you have read the essay and asked you to make a résumé. Pay attention to the pronunciation when answering, and be sure not to be nervous, because if you are too nervous, you will usually get a little stuck. Then the teacher will usually start a discussion with you about the topic in the text, and the more fluent this part of the communication, the better.
At the end of the discussion, some teachers may ask some detailed questions about the passage, such as the change of adjectives into adverbs, what is the role of a word in the passage, the main idea of the passage, the meaning of a word in the first paragraphs of the passage, and so on. If there are no reading problems, these questions can basically be answered. The interview was over in about 10 minutes.
In addition to the Graduate Program in Regional and Country Studies (World Language Policy) and the Graduate Program in Multilingual Teacher Education, there are also the following five research directions:
1. French linguistics.
2. French literature.
3. Theory and practice of French-Chinese translation.
4. Francophone and Regional Studies.
5. French teaching method.
It is recommended to prepare for the research direction you chose when you applied for the initial examination, or a research direction that you are interested in. In the re-examination interviews of many majors at home and abroad, this is also a topic that is often asked and answered. When asked, the teacher will usually ask some questions based on the direction of your intentions.
In addition, you may also be asked some more conventional questions during the interview, such as why you were admitted to the foreign university, whether you have any plans for graduate school life after the admission, what do you think about going to foreign countries or Shanghai, why you chose to go to graduate school, etc.
Some suggestions. Speaking is very important during the interview, so listen and read more when preparing for the exam, and in addition to reading reference books, you can also find some news materials on the Internet to read or do listening training.
Every time after reading or listening, I make a résumé and exposé in French on the topic of the article, and the teachers at home and abroad attach great importance to these two points. The questioning habits of the teachers and the relevant questions examined in previous years will be specially practiced in the Gao Yi course.
Usually I am practicing affordably, it is recommended to record myself, see where I am stuck, and check the more accurate French expression afterwards, and the long-term persistence will definitely be improved, and the students in the re-examination class can also send it to the tutor at any time to help you correct.
Some reference materials for the preparation of the postgraduate entrance examination of French language and literature are recommended.
1. TV5monde French learning** (mainly to watch current political news, about two or three articles a day, mainly to practice the feeling of listening and improve oral expression skills).
2. Two books on French (the articles in each lesson basically provide an open-ended topic, very speculative, you can find friends or play two roles by yourself to state different views, which helps to improve oral expression.) If you reread the text, you can also review the vocabulary and related usages in it to consolidate your vocabulary.)
3. Le Figaro** (current political hot news, improve reading ability).
4. The first question of the written test is the tense question, if you think it is necessary, you can review the tense content, I have not done much preparation for this part.
5. Yue Yanglie's translation book or French translation book can be used to practice translation and improve translation speed.
Before the retest line comes out, you can refer to the number of re-examiners in previous years and the re-test line, and if there is a possibility of entering the retest, adjust your mentality in time and start to go all out to prepare. Worrying too much about the results will only divert the energy that should be focused on studying to worry, resulting in a lack of concentration and physical exhaustion. Whatever the outcome, there's always a path for you to explore. bon courage!
Strive forward, retest and cheer! I wish you all a high score and a smooth landing!
