在新东方G班的20多天北京生活中我的人生观,价值观,社会观发生了巨大的变化,先进的思想观念是能够改变人生轨迹的,leaping depends on view。因为先进的思想观念相对来说能够更好的指导你的行动,而使人生能够更加丰富多彩,更加辉煌。在此感谢填空老师杜昶旭(传说中的perpetual杜,托福班叫forever杜) ,阅读老师陈虎平,词汇老师李建,作文老师修锐。

在 新东方的日子里我明白了为什么我总是不能成为一个文学青年,只能在写议论文的时候有所发挥,而在英文写作方面似乎要更加得心应手一些。英文是讲究逻辑的, 而中文是讲究意境的,它强调的是一种朦胧,是一种靠发散想象得到的无法用言语表达的感觉,其实意境本来就是个很抽象的词语。我一直是偏于理性的,而感性认 识似乎总是离我很远,虽然我一直试图使自己变得感性一些,但是最后发现其实努力都变成了浮云。所以还是作我自己吧,理性一些没什么坏处。

20天的G课,让我更加富有逻辑和理性,思维更加缜密,在写这篇文章的时候我的思路感觉是前所未有的清晰和明确。所有G的老师都强调G是不涉及背景知识的,它是考察逻辑思维的。也许以后我骂人会说:“你这个没有逻辑的!”,哈哈,娱乐一下。

我最喜欢的是老杜,不仅是因为课上的引人入胜,更重要的是因为他总是能带来很多思想方面的强烈冲击,他系统、具有针对性的阐述了东西方文化差异的主要方面, 让我明白了为什么中西方的差异如此之大。其实最主要的差异在于思维逻辑习惯上,中国人是发散逻辑,而西方人是收敛逻辑。中国人富于联想,让老外去感受短短 几行字的唐诗表达出的意境那是不可能的,中文讲究只可意会不可言传;而西方的收敛逻辑讲究任何事情必有因果,比较像直线思维,“十五岁的小张今年十五岁,G填空教程是由本书编写组编写的”这才是G的真正逻辑。最重要的是他让我明白了什么才是真正的G,G针对的是logical and knowledgeable native speaker。他的观点我特别同意:G不 应该上成英语课,而应该是思维逻辑训练课,逻辑思维是没法教的,只能引导大家去学习。老杜讲课也是切实按照这个思路,一道填空题可以展开得很宽,不仅注重 引导这种逻辑思路,而且扩大知识面,让我们对西方的了解更加深刻,虽然上课经常会发表一些“反党和政府”的言论,甚至讲一些“黄段子”,毒害了不少没有受 到社会污染的纯洁青年,但至少我记忆特别深刻,最后一节课他一直耿耿于怀被人举报…… Read More →

To help you improve your learning and understanding, and ultimately your grades.
No two people study the same way, and there is little doubt that what works for one person may not work for another. However, there are some general techniques that seem to produce good results. No one would argue that every subject that you have to take is going to be so interesting that studying it is not work but pleasure. We can only wish.
This guide is designed to help you develop effective study skills. It is not a magic formula for success in preparing for tests, or written assignments. Studying any material requires work! However, by using the techniques described in this guide, and by applying yourself, you can gain a valuable edge in understanding material, preparing for tests, and, ultimately, learning.
Effective Study skills are about more than understanding
Effective study skills must be practiced in order for you to improve. It is not enough to simply “think about” studying; you have to actually do it, and in the process use information from what you do to get better. This is the central idea of this page. All that follows depends on this single concept. There is a saying that goes like this: “Practice doesn’t make perfect; perfect practice makes perfect.” If you want to be an achiever, take this saying to heart.
The value of a schedule
Before you even begin to think about the process of studying, you must develop a schedule. If you don’t have a schedule or plan for studying, then you will not have any way of allocating your valuable time when the unexpected comes up. A good, well thought out schedule can be a lifesaver. It’s up to you to learn how develop a schedule that meets your needs, revise it if necessary, and most important, follow it. Read More →
