最近定期地做雅思题，感触颇大。首先是听力，做了真题突然发现，读录音的人全是BEC考试听力部分录音的那一群人，所以感到异常熟悉，做起来也比较得心应手，好像遇到老朋友一样。想不到准备BEC其实也在暗中为雅思准备着。后来买了一本新东方的听力特训，一开始感到有点吃力，因为里面的题目比真题难很多，真题一般才错几个，一到新东方那本练习，最多居然错了10个，听力一共才40个，按这样计算我的听力才可以得7分，要是考试真的考成这样我就完了。呵呵。不过现在越做越好，因为可能做多了就习惯了，一看题目就知道要注意哪些地方，错误也大大减少了。听力我一直花了好大力气训练的，从进入大学至今基本没有怎么断过听力，即使放假在家我也会听新闻或者听一些听力材料的。所以听力一直是我的强项，希望在雅思考试中可以发挥出正常水平！
说到阅读，我有点忍俊不禁。在没有准备雅思之前就听一些师兄师姐说阅读超变态，因为每篇阅读都超长，一千个词以上，而且全是科技啊，人文啊，实验啊等等和我们平时学的英语相差十万八千里的素材，里面超多专业术语让人头晕脑转。我开始还真有点担心，然而当我一开始做题时，却发现异常地有趣。一方面，真的谢天谢地，因为我一直以来都坚持看国家地理频道和探索频道里的英文节目，节目里头包含了大量的关于植物，动物，科学发明，基因工程，著名人物传，太空，银行系，太阳系，十大奇迹，奇闻怪事等等生活方方面面的东西。潜移默化中，我对这些居然了解好多，也掌握了不少基本的专业术语，这对我的雅思阅读起了极其重要的作用，这是让我万万想不到的。当大家都在看美剧和电影时，我却对这类节目情有独钟，几乎达到每天必看的程度。经过一段时间的训练，我对雅思的出题模式也有一定的感知，而且里面的阅读的确很有趣，有时做着做着，我会越来越兴奋，仿佛那不是考试，是一种享受，呵呵！
至于作文，我非常专心地研读了环球雅思的老师慎小嶷编著的《十天突破雅思写作》，感觉收获非常大。我真的被作者的高超写作技巧折服了！这本书也是我看过的为数不多的好作文书之一！一直以来我都没有放弃过笔头的练习，也觉得自己的写作有比较深厚的功底，可是看了那本书我才发现我离作者的水平还有好大一段，这需要我不断努力！
其实现在回想一下，准备雅思对我来讲好像并不是这么痛苦，不过现在还没考试，也不可以掉以轻心，越到后面越要紧张起来。认识好几个朋友同学和我同一天考试的，希望大家都考好！

Last night, I practiced oral English with one of my friends. Actually I feel somewhat shamed when calling him "friend", for we simply met for the first time. He is a senior student in my school who is going to applying for a university in HK. He has joined in our English QQ group and chatted with me the other day, thereby making friends with me. He is going to receive an interview conducted by the some professional teachers from his target school, and has been feeling rather tight nerves these days. He told me through QQ that he had not poised well for the interview. In order to prepare him further for the upcoming interview that is pivotally relevant to his admission to his ideal school, I spared one hour from my busy schedule to interview him by raising some common questions and providing some pertinent and preferable suggestions compared with his.
All the way we cooperated quite smoothly. All of a sudden, when it came to the question about applying for scholarship, what he told me authentically shocked me. He told me that he must apply for a full scholarship prior to his entering the school due to his awkward family financial condition. I was completely stunned then, asking, "Since you make the choice to the university in HK, I think you family must be economically rich. Why do you......" He handed over to me a piece of paper which detailed his specific situation. I was getting more and more appalled as I was reading down the paper. His father has come down with severe diabetes and has been out of work for six years. There were several times when his father was going to heaven but fortunately, he was pulled back by his great desire to live and the care from people around. Apart from diabetes, there is also something wrong with his father's spine and waist that once paralyzed him and confined him to bed. Luckily, he is getting better now and can move and do some chores. In order to take good care of his father, his mother resigned from her current job and stays at home. The whole family lives on the peanut-like pension from his mother the previous job.
When asked how he could still attend college with such an extreme condition, my friend told me smiling that he borrowed some money from the bank to pay his tuition fees, and his scholarship once got also did some help. I was totally moved that he never showed a piteous face in front of me all the way, even just a second! All he showed me was positive, optimistic and hopeful smiles. And he even comforted me by saying, "Do not show great sympathy to me, friend! Actually I do not feel I am that poor and pathetic. I am quite nice now!" "Ok," I replied, "If you need a hand and I can do something for you, turn to me without hesitation, alright?" "Yeah, many thanks!" he responded gratefully.
Our practice came to an end at half past ten successfully. After he left, I again sank into thought. I am not meant to talk about some big common sense or wisdom here. All I want to say can be concentrated into one sentence, that is, treasure the present!
Reflecting on myself, I feel so happy and lucky that I have a warm family and a vast pool of good friends who always do me great favor when I run into some troubles. Speaking for myself, I think it does not matter how much you have helped me, but how willing you are to help!
In the past I had been always anticipating something that would never come true. I had been expecting desperately some kind of love, a telephone call even a face-to-face meet! However, when I went back to reality, all was so cruel. I kept asking myself why I was so stubborn. Maybe I should let something go if I could not reach it with all my efforts and strength. Finally I got back to my feet.
Many times in life, we cannot choose the environment, but we can choose our mindset. We cannot choose our fate, but we can choose our heart, a heart that is strong to be challenged, tough to be broken and persistent to be beaten! Yes, indeed I am really looking forward to something that has not been fulfilled yet, but there is no reason for me to keep thinking of it all the time regardless of other things around me, for to others, like my families, my friends and my classmates, they also want something from me, like my love, my care and so forth. I cannot be so self-centered. I would like to give all I have to them, a group of kindly people who have been earnest and loyal to me all the way. Thank you very much, my families, friends and my dear classmates or schoolmates! May god bless all of you!
