10月11日,在美国参加的SAT考试中,李嘉取得了数学800分、阅读800分、写作790分,总分2390分,接近满分2400分的好成绩。
“在来长沙新航道之前,我的分数大概在2150左右,谢谢我的新航道老师的卓越指导,在学习了仅仅5天的VIP一对一课程后,我的写作分数提升到了790-800分,阅读分数提升到了750-800分。这是一次非常棒的学习经历,我强烈推荐所有想在SAT考试中取得高分的学生来新航道进行学习”。李嘉说。
“触电”:因为专业,所以选择
“SAT分下来了:2390分,阅读800分,数学800分,写作790分,你们老师太厉害了!”10月28日晚上7点,VIP学员李嘉的妈妈给长沙新航道课程顾问肖老师发来喜讯。
2014年暑假,李嘉随妈妈回长沙探亲,因报考了10月11日SAT考试,想利用暑假时间进行提升。在妈妈朋友的推荐下,6月18日,母女俩来到长沙新航道学校平和堂18楼校区咨询。“给学生做SAT入学测试,可以看出她对生僻词不太熟练,改错、文章阅读和写作都存在问题”,课程顾问肖老师回忆。
李妈妈后来在与工作人员交流过程中透露,原想去另一家知名机构上课,在与顾问交谈时发现新航道更专业,课程安排很适合孩子的需求,因而毫不犹豫地敲定下来,学生第二天就开始上课。
VIP课堂:量身规划 立竿见影
因预定了6月26日飞往美国的机票,学生只剩下一周时间学习。从学生的VIP课表上可以看到,6月19日至25日,每天安排了四小时的VIP一对一课程,配合1个小时的辅导课程。因学生数学较好,集中上阅读、写作和语法课程。
“堂课通过与学生交流发现,她对语法完全没有概念”,长沙新航道学校SAT语法老师赵老师说,首先系统地讲解语法知识点,学生很聪明也很勤奋,在语法体系完全掌握后,着重讲解SAT考试的重点和难点,并配合真题进行强化。
长沙新航道教学总监曾智介绍,一是时间紧张,第二学生的学习能力较强,因此老师们加快了上课的节奏,课堂信息量充足,学生坦言每次上完课都很有收获,提升非常快。
为帮助学生进一步熟悉考试题型,结课后,课程顾问和辅导老师搜集整理了SAT考试真题和答案解析,让学生在家中进行练习。
经验分享:熟记词汇 掌握方法
对于获得2390分的高分,李嘉表示,我特别要对新航道阅读老师杨老师致以由衷感谢,是他让阅读从我最薄弱的部分变成了我最擅长的部分,也非常感谢我的写作赵老师,她的教导让SAT写作从非常困难的部分变成了非常简单的部分。
李嘉透露,词汇和文章阅读对自己来说,一直都是难点,为了扩充词汇量,特地买了本词汇书《新航道SAT真词汇》,书里包含了SAT考试最常见的5000重点词汇和核心词汇,在暑假期间每天背书上的50个单词,这样极大地扩充了词汇量,并能够顺利地正确理解SAT考试中的所有词汇。文章阅读最有用的窍门就是答案永远在文章中,而写作则要小心避开陷阱。
【高分学员心得】
My name is Li Jia, and on October 11th, 2014, I took the SAT for the very first time and received a score of 2390.
我的名字是李嘉,2014年10月11日,我参加SAT考试并获得了2390的分数。
Before coming to Changsha New Channel, my SAT score was around 2150, with 800 in Math, 680 in writing, and 670 in reading. But thanks to the extraordinary teaching of my tutors from New Channel, my writing score went up to 790-800, and my reading score went up to 750-800, in only 5 days (VIP 1-to-1 class). Since math has always been easy for me, I didn’t have to study for it at all.
在来长沙新航道之前,我的分数大概在2150左右,其中数学800分,写作680分,阅读670分。谢谢我的新航道老师的卓越指导,在学习了仅仅5天的VIP一对一课程后,我的写作分数提升到了790-800分,阅读分数提升到了750-800分。由于对我来说数学一直很简单,所以我并不需要学习数学。
Reading
For me, both vocabulary and passage reading were challenges. To strengthen vocabulary, I bought an SAT vocabulary book from New Channel, which contained 5000 of the most common words on the SAT, and memorized 50 words each day over the summer. This book improved my vocabulary immensely, and I ended up getting all the vocabulary on the SAT correct.
As for passage reading, my reading instructor Yang lao shi taught me how to look for evidence in the passage instead of guessing based on intuition. That is perhaps the most valuable tip I learned at New Channel. The answer is always in the passage. At first, I thought improving passage reading meant reading more science and history books, but improving vocabulary naturally increased my understanding of the passages, and then further practice allowed me to get used to the style of questions SAT likes to ask. I would like to especially thank my reading instructor from New Channel, Yang Xiao Jun, for helping me be the best in what was once my weakest area. In fact, my reading score on the SAT was higher than my writing score, which has never happened in practice before. So thank you, Yang Xiao Jun.
阅读
词汇和文章阅读对我而言一直是难点。为了扩充我的词汇量,我买了新航道的词汇书,这本词汇书里包含了SAT考试最常见的5000词汇,在暑假我每天背书上的50个单词。这本书极大地扩充了我的词汇量,最后我能够顺利的正确理解SAT考试中的所有词汇。
关于文章阅读,我的阅读老师杨老师教我如何在文章中寻找信息而不是用直觉去猜答案。这也许是我在新航道学到的最有用的窍门。答案永远在文章中。首先,我以为提高文章阅读的能力需要阅读更多的科学和历史相关的书籍,但是单词量的扩充使我对文章的理解度自然而然的提高了,而且更进一步的练习让我更加习惯了SAT考试倾向于提出的问题模式。对此,我特别要对新航道阅读老师杨晓骏老师致以由衷感谢,是他让阅读从我最薄弱的部分变成了我最擅长的部分。事实上,在SAT考试中我的阅读成绩高于我的写作成绩,这在平常练习中是没有发生过的。谢谢您,杨老师!
Writing
Writing is much easier to learn than reading because most of it is memorization of grammar rules. Before, I just picked whatever answer sounded wrong, but my teacher at New Channel told me that the SAT can trick you that way. There is no other way to improve in the writing section but to be familiar with as many grammar rules and patterns as possible. From there, work on as many practice problems as possible to drill the rules into your mind. To me, the writing section is very important to do well on, because learning all the grammar rules vastly improved my English writing. I would like to thank my wonderful writing teacher, Zhao Jin Jin, for being able to teach me everything in only a few hours. The SAT writing section suddenly went from very hard to very, very easy.
写作
写作比阅读要简单因为写作大部分是语法规则的记忆。一开始,我只选择看上去错误的答案,我的新航道老师告诉我SAT考试会在这方面设一些小圈套。因此我能通过更加熟悉了解语法规则和模式来提高我的写作部分,即,尽可能的多加练习来将语法规则牢牢记在脑子里。对我来说,写作部分的提高是非常重要的,因为语法规则的学习大大提高了我的英语写作水平。在此,我非常感谢我的写作老师,赵老师,在短短几个小时里她教了我非常多的东西,她的教导让SAT考试的写作从非常困难的部分变成了非常简单的部分。
Overall, the training I received at New Channel improved my SAT score by almost 250 points. It was an incredible experience, and I highly recommend it for students striving to achieve high scores on the SAT.
总的来说,在新航道的学习使我的SAT成绩提高了大约250分。这是一次非常棒的学习经历,我强烈推荐所有想在SAT考试中取得高分的学生来新航道进行学习。
