First of all, my situation
My undergraduate course is 985 middle school, majoring in environment. My undergraduate grades are not very good, but I have some scientific research experience. Out of interest in the field of environment and yearning for Beijing, I got up the courage to apply for the major of environmental science and engineering in beijing university of chemical technology, and finally went ashore in World War I. Regarding the choice of volunteers, beijing university of chemical technology studied in Beijing and Zhu studied in Shenzhen International Graduate School. Compared with Xue Shuo, Zhu Shuo has lower difficulty and more places. Moreover, Zhu Shuo, who was dissatisfied with a volunteer this year, also accepted the adjustment of other departments. Therefore, as long as he enters the second interview, the hope of admission is great, and Zhu Shuo, who is a volunteer, is actually more difficult. Therefore, I suggest that you comprehensively consider the choice of region, the difficulty of postgraduate entrance examination, the future employment or doctoral study, make the decision that suits you best, and then keep your feet on the ground and go forward bravely.
Second, about choosing schools and setting majors.
(1) The following factors are mainly considered when choosing to apply for beijing university of chemical technology: school level, geographical location and difficulty of specialized courses. First of all, from the school level, beijing university of chemical technology is a national key university. The national "double-first-class" construction university, 985 engineering advantage discipline innovation platform, 2 1 1 engineering university, and environmental science and engineering specialty were rated as B in the fourth round of national discipline evaluation; Secondly, beijing university of chemical technology is located in the capital Beijing, which is an ancient capital full of challenges and opportunities. Studying and living here for three years will be a valuable experience in life. Finally, the initial test of environmental engineering graduate courses in beijing university of chemical technology is 8 1 1 environmental microbiology, which is generally difficult. 8 1 1 environmental microbiology is a subject that can be learned well in a short time and can get high marks, which is very suitable for students who like microbiology. Based on these three factors, I chose beijing university of chemical technology when choosing a school.
(2) In recent years, the number of environmental engineering students in beijing university of chemical technology has not changed much. There are about 40 students enrolled in environmental engineering major (including about 20 students who are exempt from examination), and about 30 students enrolled in environmental engineering major. In recent years, the retest line for academic masters is generally 365,438+00-330, and the retest line for specialized masters is generally 300- 330. In 2022, the number of postgraduate entrance examinations increased a lot, and many students applied for postgraduate entrance examinations, resulting in a higher postgraduate entrance examination line this year and a lower postgraduate entrance examination score line than other years. It is recommended to apply carefully! Before the reform, 860 Physical Chemistry and 8 1 1 Environmental Microbiology were selected, while 202 1 was changed to 81Environmental Microbiology. Not surprisingly, the next few years will be 8 1 1 environmental microbiology. Compared with other 2 1 1 universities in Beijing, the major of environmental engineering in beijing university of chemical technology has moderate difficulty and high cost performance. Due to the high popularity of postgraduate entrance examination in recent years, the difficulty will gradually increase in the future.
Third, review the experience of the initial test.
My situation is that the scores in all subjects are not high, but there are no shortcomings, so the total score can still be seen. The entrance examination of mathematics in 2020 is very difficult, and my mentality in the examination room has also been greatly affected. Fortunately, the final score is enough. In the subsequent re-examination preparation process, I suffered a lot of mental pressure because the initial test score was not high enough. Everyone should take me as a warning, and now review well, and the preliminary test results have gone up. I think mathematics deserves the most attention. Mathematics and specialized courses are the key to getting points. Of course, don't limp in other subjects.
1. Graduate Mathematics
I followed teacher Zhang Yu in math all the way. The first round will follow the video of the online class, and at the same time, every knowledge point in the review book will be learned in place. In the second round, I used Zhang Yu's "closed exercise" for training consolidation and key breakthrough. The third round of real questions and simulation questions. Because I didn't study carefully in the first round and didn't summarize enough after brushing the questions in the later stage, I stepped into a pit that I was unfamiliar with some test sites. In the process of brushing the real questions, I fell into the misunderstanding of the math questions for the postgraduate entrance examination, especially the practice questions of probability theory and mathematical statistics were not difficult enough, which made it difficult to cope with the changing questions this year. Therefore, I think that learning must be comprehensive and meticulous, and we should not blindly brush the questions. We should pay attention to training the speed and calculation ability of doing the questions to ensure the correct rate of the basic questions.
2. Postgraduate English
From the beginning of March to the end of June:
1) Recite words! ! ! Listen to Zhu Wei's love story, 150- 200 words a day (50 new words, the rest are review); Adhere to the postgraduate entrance examination, but it will take a lot of time in the early stage. When you finish reading the words, it will be much easier to recite them.
2) Listen to Liu Xiaoyan's grammar and long and difficult sentences, and insist on contacting 1 long and difficult sentences every day; After learning long and difficult sentences, you can start trying to do real questions in May.
3) Listening to Tang Chi's reading comprehension is very useful. After mastering many skills, there will be obvious improvement, and the problem will not be as blind as before. After listening, you can start with the real questions and only do reading comprehension, about one article every two days. After writing, you can analyze and translate it yourself. You can buy a set of Zhang Jian's yellow book, and then listen to Mr. Tang Chi's real questions, which is very useful! ! !
From early July to mid-September:
1) A real question in Zhang Jian's Yellow Book is 05- 18 (Don't move the rest of the real questions! Save it for the final model test), or just do reading comprehension (because the reading comprehension score is too high, you should read more and learn more words), as shown above;
2) I have enough time to listen to the composition class. Recommend teacher Shi Penglei's composition, let me get started and teach you how to recite the composition (seven-step method).
Mid September -65438+ mid October:
1) Continue to read a real question every day (if you don't finish it, continue to do it, brush it twice when you finish it), finish the answer, look at the translation sentence by sentence, and look up the words; It is stipulated that you should finish writing an article in about 18 minutes to train your speed;
2) Cloze and new questions recommended by Song Yixuan, which is simple and effective. Cloze began in English No.1 on 05- 12.
65438+1mid-October-before the exam:
1) It is suggested that Mr. Liu Xiaoyan or Mr. Tang Jing watch some punching classes for a short time. There is little difference in English translation, so you can focus on reading.
2) Organize your own composition templates, and organize 2-3 sets of different types to facilitate the use of exams and often recite words.
3) Use the remaining sets of test papers to take the model test once a week and complete it within the specified time. The composition should also be written and analyzed after completion.
3. Postgraduate Politics
Politics doesn't take long, but don't start too late and end up in the dark. Treat it with snacks a little, and generally everyone can get more than 60 points. When I am tired of studying other subjects, I watch online political courses, practice multiple-choice questions more, pay attention to the correct rate of multiple-choice questions, and memorize big questions.
4. Postgraduate professional courses
Postgraduate specialized courses: (master and special master)
Bibliography of specialized courses: The first specialized course 8 1 1 Environmental Microbiology School officially gave three reference books online. According to the experience of the brothers and sisters who went ashore in the past, the contents of the three reference books overlap, so it is enough to have one when reviewing. Here I recommend "Microbiology of Environmental Engineering" (Author: Zhou Qunying, Wang Shifen, Press: Beijing Higher Education Press, 3rd and 4th editions). The book Microbiology of Environmental Engineering is mainly divided into basic knowledge of microbiology and its application in environmental engineering. Most of the content is related to undergraduate knowledge, which is generally difficult and requires students to understand and recite a lot.
The review of specialized courses can be summarized as "Know yourself and know yourself, and fight every battle". Even if it is the same reference book, the focus of each school's investigation is different. If you want to get high marks in specialized courses, you must know where the specialized courses of the school you apply for are. Here, you need to contact your brothers and sisters on the shore for help and spend your review time on important and difficult points. This is an effective review. 8 1 1 Environmental microbiology is a subject that needs to be memorized on the basis of understanding. Reciting is a headache and makes students suffer. But judging from the real questions over the years, there are many questions every year, and the answers can be found directly from the reference books, and even the original questions appear. Therefore, even if the endorsement is very hard, you need to grit your teeth and stick to it for the postgraduate life you yearn for.
Judging from my review experience, the review of specialized courses can begin in June, and it is recommended to recite the reference materials for more than three times before going to the examination room. The first recitation (June-August) is the most painful review stage. Forgetting is forgetting. Jumping back and forth between remembering and forgetting is a great blow to self-confidence. With the increase of reciting time, when reciting for the second time (September -65438+ 10), you will find that you have memorized part of the content, and your confidence will rise again. The third time (10 and beyond), I will recite more skillfully and build up enough self-confidence. Then the fourth time, the fifth time, to meet the exam! In previous years, it was suggested to practice real questions after memorizing most of the knowledge (1 1 month or so). Real questions can play a role in checking leaks and filling gaps. Don't write a photo at the beginning, which will neither write nor hurt your confidence.
Third, the second interview preparation experience
After the initial test results come out, you can try to contact the intentional tutor by email. The teacher may be willing to tell you some points to pay attention to in the interview and provide some interview-related guidance. As for the choice of tutors, professors with high qualifications may not have time to take students personally, but the reputation of tutors will have a blessing on the future of students. Young and middle-aged teachers may put more pressure on their students, but they can also gain a lot by diligent efforts. You can also ask your brothers and sisters about teachers and research groups, such as whether teachers are pushy or not.
This year, due to special circumstances, the written re-examination was changed to oral examination, with only 50 points, and the interview results accounted for the bulk. Resume and personal statement are needed this year. During the interview, the teacher mainly asks questions based on your resume and personal statement. Everything you write may be asked, including courses, scientific research experience, practical experience, future direction and so on. For example, let you solve a problem with what you have learned, talk about the areas and prospects that need to be improved during your undergraduate course, and what you plan to do in the future. Some angles are really unexpected, which requires you to have a comprehensive understanding of your scientific research experience and have a certain understanding of the frontier. In addition, we should pay attention to the teacher's questions about the names of periodicals in the professional field, representatives in this field, and so on. There will be a question that needs to be answered in English. Then I will describe the process of participating in environmental protection activities in English.
How can I have a second interview, behave appropriately and get good grades?
First of all, pay attention to the instrument.
Choosing the right clothes doesn't require too many formalities and high value, but at least it should be clean and tidy. The teacher can get a general idea of you from here, and you can also get a general idea of the importance you attach to the interview from your attitude towards clothes.
Second, make full preparations.
You need to go to Peking University Institute of Environmental Science and Engineering to check the enrollment brochure and review rules, understand the subjects and forms of re-examination, and understand the common interview questions of the departments applying for the exam; Or find an interview with the tutor of previous students and conduct targeted training.
In addition, good manners are needed; Exercise language expression ability; Cultivate English listening and speaking ability; Know the cutting-edge knowledge of your major; Prepare some topics in advance; Understand the focus of teachers' attention; Thinking about the strategy of answering questions; Adjust the physical and mental state and other preparatory work.
Finally, interview considerations
Remember to answer the tutor's questions positively, answer the time when you ask, answer the results when you ask, seek truth from facts, answer truthfully when you can, and don't just tell the teacher politely, speak calmly and confidently, and have a peaceful mind; Communicating with teachers can accurately express their ideas, and it is best to have innovations and highlights to fully demonstrate their professionalism; In addition, try to use professional vocabulary when answering questions. In fact, teachers value your quality more.
During the second interview, the tutor likes to ask "Why did you choose me as a graduate student" or "Why did you choose me as a tutor". It is not enough to answer the question "because I am interested in your direction". Combining your own advantages and professional background, you can answer "because your research field needs a student like me". This answer will narrow the distance with the tutor and guide the tutor to ask you some questions about his research direction.
Sometimes the tutor will ask, "What if I don't pass the exam?" In fact, asking this question doesn't mean that you can't pass the exam. The tutor wants to examine the students' psychological quality.
Only by making full preparations before the re-examination of postgraduate entrance examination can we calmly face the re-examination. Only by making full preparations can you be more confident, and the interview can be normal or even long.
Fourth, a little encouragement and experience:
For the adjustment of mentality, talk about your own views. Postgraduate entrance examination is a very painful process, during which you will experience countless times of self-denial, but as long as you stick to it, there will be good results. First, attach importance to health, which is the capital of revolution. The weather turned cold, and many students caught a cold, which affected the review progress. You can walk more, run more, sharpen your knife and don't miss the woodcutter, which not only exercises your body, but also relaxes your nervous nerves and wakes up your brain. I have the habit of drinking more hot water. First of all, it is good for my health. Secondly, if I want to go to the toilet, I can take a walk to relax. In addition, you should have your own review plan and your own rhythm. Don't be influenced by other people's mentality, go down step by step, don't hurry up and deceive yourself.
In the process of preparation for several months, it is inevitable that there will be moments of difficulty in advancing, physical and mental fatigue and anxiety. Proper rest is actually a kind of progress, adjust your mood and physical state, and insist on studying every day. In addition, it is also important to have a stable mentality in the examination room. Finally, I wish you a wish, a dream of beijing university of chemical technology!
