introduction: Because the ibt test requires us to type the writing on the screen, i have to practise my typing speed in english,thus i try to update my blog in english. Such practise can improve writing speed, i hope.
Having been trained in the longre center of ibt for several days , i have my own thought about the training . The whole class consists of 15 students , half of which are senior school students. Thus ,feeling that I am old in a sense makes me a little nervous. It seems that going board to pursue further study in America is a growing tedency in China. Sometimes , with the senior school students sitting besides me , I will get into deep thought about the "if" in life.
If I have taken the IBT test when I was in XiaoShi middle school, if I have determined to study in USA since I was a senior student, then what will the whole life be till today? Of course , supposing things which have already happened and will never be changed in the flow of everlasting years means nothing but daydreaming. What I want to put forward is the relationship between the age and acquision. For an example, you set a goal when you were still very young, then you may achieve it when you are 25,28,or 30 such as entering one of the best enterprise after graduation. Just taking the final result into account , these three possibilities don't vary at all since you have made it .However, if compared with ages , definitely the first result has advantages, because between 25 and 30, there exists 5 years all together. What else can we do in the whole 5 years, especilly at the age of so callde 'Golden Ages". Therefore, in this sense , the three results varies a lot. By exemplificating this , I don't mean the third result achieves nothing more than the first one in 5 years,of course they can do other things to fulfill the span. I just want to share my understanding of the advantages of ages.
I remember Ai Ling Zhang's words in the book<18 Springs> that means the feeling towards year changes when we grow old. We feel the fleeting years lasting longer when we are young ,thus 3 or 5 years may means a whole destiny for a young. It may point out the true life for us in a sense.
When it comes to the teaching quality in longre , I' d like to say it depends. Like writing , I enjoy the classes in my university much more than in longre. Professors teach me to vary my thought pattern and to state unique points . Whereas, in longre, the teacher tells you the fixed patterns which he thinks can deal with the ibt test.However ,I don't like his teaching method.Though, I confess that his approch is a conclusion of several years dealing with the ibt writing , I dislike the demands that he urges us that we must use the phrases he has taught and he thinks that's enough. I think ,good phrases will never be too much in writing .Calculating the useful phrases is worthy of practising.
Anyway , I think training is like a guidence which can lead you directly into the skills dealing with the test effectively and efficiently, because those staff in the training center have several years' experience of specific test. Finally , tell myself that keep fighting for the day in November.
ps: Typing in english seems a little slower than in chinese .At least, the writing teacher points that practising the typing speed is really crucial.
