All the tests are taken in the computer  classrooms on the new Zijingang campus. My arrangement is on this afternoon,  with the period from 15:30 to 16:50, in Room 223, East 6 Building. 2 is my seat  number, for my learning number is at the second place according to the sequence  of it from the small to the large. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:'Times New Roman';\"><span style=\"font-size:small;\">In fact, before the test, I  had not spent much time in preparing it. When I went to class in autumn term,  the teacher told us that there was a book we could take for reference. So I  bought the book in a book store opposite to the gate of Yuquan campus. Of  course, I did some exercises in the book, concentrating on the vocabulary  practice. I found that many of the words which appear in both the sentences and  the four words or phrases chosen, are so unfamiliar that even in some cases, I  can not choose which one is the best on account of my verdancy. I felt a little  worried. But yesterday, I saw some notes on 88 forum, on the feelings of the  students who had taken the test. Many of them said the book I mentioned above  was very important and the questions\u00a0of vocabulary and cloze patterns came from  it. The questions were exactly the same. Many of the testees regretted not  seeing the book carefully before. Knowing this, I took out the book and reviewed  the vocabulary questions for several times and tried my best to learn the  unfamiliar words by heart. Then I did the cloze with 8 passages. This was what I  did yesterday. This morning, I did the reading comprehension for only one time  on the computer. I mean that in ordinary test, all the questions are printed on  paper and I am accustomed to doing\u00a0in this way. Now the\u00a0way is changed and we  should look at the computer screen to do without any paper. I know that this is  the way of some international tests such as TOFOL, GRE and IELTS, while I have  not attended any of them. So I have little experience of that, I think. I found  that I was not adapted to it any more. The result at last proved my thought at  that time. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:'Times New Roman';\"><span style=\"font-size:small;\">It was not a good but a  bleak day. It rained a little outside, so I took an umbrella with me and felt a  little cold. But my heart was a little excited. After my lunch, I took the K74  bus for the test. The destination of the bus is Zijingang Campus. I got on the  bus at about 1:30 P.M. It took me about an hour there. Then I walked for 10  minutes to get to the class. When I got there, the previous batches were not  ended and I saw many students standing on the aisle outside the classrooms. Most  of them were looking at the book so as to grasp the last time to learn the words  as many as possible. Instead of doing like them, I stood there waiting for the  coming-in and talking with several classmates in the same English class. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color:#000000;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Times New Roman';\"><span style=\"font-size:small;\">Time passed quickly and at  about 3:15 P.M, we went into the room, showing our graduate passport for  permission. I sat down on the appointed seat, seeing that a paper was lying on  the desk. I saw that it was unnecessary to prepare any papers by myself. After  inputting my learning number, I was waiting for the start of the test. When time  went to sharp 15:30, I clicked the OK button to go into the question and answer  interface. I did listening comprehension first and felt that it was not so  difficult just with a woman\u2019s ambiguous voice. After doing this, I did the  vocabulary and cloze questions in less than 10 minutes. Just at that time, I  noticed it had 55 minutes left and felt a little loose, thinking that time was  enough to complete the last reading comprehension. But the fact was not the  thing as I thought. When I saw the four passages, I felt puzzled. All the themes  were not easy to understand and I spent so much time on reading them and doing  the following five questions after each passage. After all, I was not accustomed  to the way of testing, facing to the screen for so much time, which made me easy  to be visually tired. When time was over, I delivered the test and then my marks  appeared. My total mark was 42.5, which showed that I passed the machine test.  While looking at the mark of my reading comprehension, only 8, I felt so gloomy  that I spent most of the time, which was about 55 minutes, while the result gave  me a sense of embarrassment. Expect for the reason I mentioned, I think another  mean cause is that I have not practiced in reading comprehension for so long a  period. Of course, I felt a little happy for I passed it and the next thing to  do is to have a full preparation for the following oral test on  Dec.25.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Times New Roman';\"><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lattecounter.com\/c5.asp?nm=summersnow2001\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\u6b22\u8fce\u5149\u4e34\u6211\u7684\u7a7a\u95f4\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><span style=\"color:#000000;\">Copyright(C) 2007 summersnow\u2019s spaces.
