How can I pass the CET-4 with zero foundation in English?

Answer 1

If you have zero foundation in English and want to pass the CET-4 exam, you can refer to the following methods:

** 1. Reciting Words **
1. Choose key vocabulary to recite: The number of real core vocabulary in Level 4 is limited. You should prioritize the core words that appear frequently. For example, use materials such as "Level 4 vocabulary flash" and recite them in the order of high frequency words> medium frequency words> low frequency words> occasional test words.
2. Arrange the recitation time reasonably: memorize the words from 7:00 to 8:00 in the morning, with a target of 80 words; at 10:30 in the evening, review 30 minutes before going to bed to avoid forgetting. For the key core high-frequency words to memorize, at least two rounds before the exam, difficult to memorize and easy to confuse the words manually copied, read many times a day.

** 2. Listening ability improved **
1. Practice with real questions: Listening comprehension: 249 points, high score, not to be ignored. With the real questions as the main material, first listen to the questions according to the test process, then listen carefully sentence by sentence. The steps of listening to pause, understanding the meaning, writing from memory and reading after listening can be carried out.
2. Make a practice plan: spend 30 minutes a day to practice listening carefully, mark key sentences and new words during dictation, and listen to BBC and TED in the morning and evening.

** 3. Reading and preparing for the exam **
1. Reading the real questions: If time is limited, you can use the real questions of the past years as the main reading material to increase your reading speed, cultivate your language sense, expand your vocabulary, and master grammar knowledge.
2. [Read widely (if you have time): You can read short foreign classics, English magazines, English newspapers, etc.]

** IV. Writing Practice **
1. Imitation model essay: Find 6 excellent CET-4 model essays, recite 2 articles per week and practice imitation.
2. Material accumulation:
- Accumulate 50 sets of commonly used advanced substitution words (especially the verb).
- Collect the model essays of the real questions in the past 10 years and the excellent sentence structures in reading comprehension to form their own essay template.
- Recite 20 commonly used English proverb.
3. Hands-on writing: Practice a complete essay every week, and revise it in time after writing it.

** 5. Understand the exam rules and techniques **
1. Time allocation and answer order: The CET-4 exam was divided into two halves, and the answer sheet had to be handed in twice. The first half was for essay and listening for 55 minutes, while the second half was for translation and reading for 70 minutes. The correct order of questions was composition, listening, detailed reading, translation, paragraph matching, and word choice (the score for word choice was low, so there was no time to guess).
2. Listening Card: There is no extra time to apply the card for listening. When doing listening, you have to apply the card while doing it.
3. Exam items preparation: Prepare the admission ticket, ID card, gel pen, 2B pencil, hearing earphones and bring backup batteries.

** 6. Use the APP to assist learning **
1. Reciting words, such as 100 words, scallop words, etc.
2. For the CET-4 exam, there were real questions from previous years.
3. Listening aid: For example, the Netease Youdao dictionary, which is helpful for listening questions and can search for high-frequency vocabulary in exams over the years.
