[英文学习状况]
[托福准备] NOTEFULL的影片,CRUSH COURSE,SK2冲刺班,小站托福
我是考完GMAT之后才开始准备托福，所以已经在阅读速度上有一些打底。又因为觉得SK2的课程很有效率，所以就来SK2学习。
*整体准备* 我上完课之后就是依照Rosa发的30天计画，每天照着进度做、纪录错题，我觉得这样相当有效。
*听力* 针对听力的部分，一定要练习Rosa上课时说的抓关键字（八大点）这件事情。如果抓得到 关键字，在抄笔记时会非常省力，而且能有效地在考题跑出来前就先想好哪里可能会考， 会更能够找到答案。
此外，我觉得在平常培养听力习惯上可以去听CRASHCOURSE里面的影片；里面的影片约莫６－８分钟，而且讲的速度真的很快（大约快1.5倍左右吧）；如果对这种影片还能够透过八大点抓到重点（影片在最后会再复习一次该影片的重点，可以自我检测有没有抓到），托福听力应该是没问题的。
*阅读* 我觉得rosa讲的”先自己想一个答案"真的很重要！因为在考试上常常会有模棱两可的答案，如果先看答案再选就往往会出错。此外，我也推荐rosa的分题型练习，每天只要练一种题型就好，先熟练解题流程；我实际操作过之后发现我在实战中真的会自然而然的找到答案，真的很棒！最后则是skim的技巧，我觉得真的相当有用，在实战中省去我不少的力气。
至于基本实力培养的部分，我个人是建议可以买一本经济学人的杂志，每天看一篇文章；因为经济学人的难度比托福难上很多，因此如果看习惯的话再看托福就会觉得相当简单。
*口说*
我觉得SHOW所说的转折语真的有用；在准备口说的时候我发现转折语不仅仅只是在拖时间或是提醒对方重点而已；我个人认为转折语还可以训练口说的逻辑，让讲话更有道理；像是讲例子时如果需要更加阐述的时候就可以说”to further elaborate,.....”；对我来说，转折语不仅仅是把自己的话讲得让对方更加清楚，同时也是在理顺自己的逻辑，让自己不要紧张。
至于在一二题部分我个人认为在训练的时候可以一开始先练２个例子，这种训练方式是因为自己在实战中发现自己常常自己没办法将例子发展完全所以掉到Ｌ；透过训练让自己习惯讲两个例子或是理由可以让自己就算在实战上没办法想到那么多的细节也可以至少有更广泛的内容，不至于内容太少。
最后，我认为平常时就要掐秒数，时时刻刻提醒自己抓秒数；我自己练习时一到六题的秒数如下：
（均为萤幕上显示之剩余秒数）
一&二:37(讲完立场或是选择)-20(讲完第一个例子)-3(讲完第二个例子)-0(END)
三:51(讲完学校公告/学生想法)-44(讲者的态度)-22(讲完第一个理由)-3(讲完第二个理由)-0(END)
四:44(讲完文章重点)-3(讲完教授例子)-0(END)
五:22(讲完问题以及两个方案)-3(讲完你的选择以及为什么)-0(END)(我习惯听完整的两个方案)
六:44(讲完教授所要讨论的概念)-22(讲完教授所说的第一个例子)-3(讲完第二个例子)-0(END)
*写作* 我在这部分有混合了ROSA和NOTEFULL的作法：我认为ROSA在例子发展上相当的完整，在实战中我发现如果照着ROSA的方法写的话应该是能够很快的把例子想出来；此外，ROSA的主题句和word bank 相当有用，在一开始想点上会快上许多。
notefull则是提醒一些观念，让整篇文章更为通顺；比方说，主题句和例子中间可以适当的增加一些句子让原因和例子能够更佳的组合在一起；然而，我认为一开始还是先以rosa的方式练习会比较好，行有余力再适当的加入notefull的观念。
以下是我的文章，因为时间不够所以我只写４段：
It is important for teachers to reduce the phenomenon of copying the homework. It's because students need to develop themselves from doing the homework, not copying.
（这边解释题目重要且重要在哪）
However, some may agree that parents should supervise their children's study, while others may agree that teachers should punish those children who copy homework. In my view, I think that teachers should simply assign homework that can't be easily copied.
（阐述自身立场）
The main reason is that parents have limited time and energy, and a homework that can't be easily copied can help parents save their time supervising their kids and make joyful memories with their kids.
（主题句，写完如果觉得还不能够跟例子衔接好的话可以加上1-2句，但不应太多不然会太冗长）
For example, when I was a kid, my teacher sent me a homework.
That homework asked me to record my daily sleeping duration and drew a graph about it. So, I couldn't copy graphs from other people because no two people would have identical sleeping time. Thus, I needed to do it by myself. Because my parents were businessmen during those days, they were thankful about the teacher because such tasks didn't require them to supervise my homework all the time. They had scarce time to spend on me. So, they could spend time doing something interesting with me, such as soccer
games, not supervising my homework. As the result , they spent their limited time making joyful memories with me.
（正例发展，我中间细节有点多）
On the other hand, when I was a junior high school student in Taipei city, my teacher asked my parents to supervise my math homework. Nonetheless, my parents were busy at those days. Therefore, they didn't fully spend time on either making funny memories with me or taking closer look on my homework. As the result, I got c- on my math finals, and I didn't have any joyful memories with my families.
（反例发展）
The second reason is that students should be honest, but punishing students who copy homework would only make them lie in the future .
For example, when I was a elementary student, I saw my English teacher punished her students in front of everyone because those students copy homework of short essay about gingerbread man. However, she didn't expect what was happening next. After that incident, no one told truth to her anymore because everyone was feared of being punished and insulted in front of everyone. As the result, my English teacher needed to make more effort on checking everyone's homework to make sure that no one cheated.
（正例发展，没时间写反例了）
As you can see, making a homework that can't be easily copied should be much more easier.
（简短的结论句，可以的话同时写立场和原因是最佳，没有的话就挑一个写吧）
In a nutshell, I think that assigning homework that can't be easily copied is much more easier than asking parents to supervise their children or punishing children.
（阐述立场）
It's not only because parents have limited time and energy, but also students can be honest in the future.
（阐述理由）
最后，托福终究是一场测试你英文实力的考试；所以照着平常心慢慢地准备，时间和实力到了自然就会考好。
大家加油！
