随风而舞，随风而逝```

难得难得, 今天终于出了会太阳, 冰封已久的城市也稍稍喘了口气. 中午下课后, 走出大楼, 一缕阳光落洒在我身上, 虽然气温没有升高, 我也因这缕金黄而倍感温暖. 昨天还在于暴雪斗争中隐忍无奈艰难前行, 今天这完美的拨云见日无疑映照了我的心情.

今天是IELTS的第二天. 决定变成一只烤鸭之后, 我一直处于迷茫状态, 不过今天的听力课上完之后顿时就信心倍增了. 感谢天感谢地,感谢阳光让我们相遇. 这听力老师真的很不错, 首先上课很活泼就和了我的胃口,再加上很有侧重的讲了听力的要点,我也就瞬间明确了起来. 几组练习做过后,我几乎要感动的流泪了,从初中学英语开始就很感兴趣的一些内容与知识存储了七八年了都没有派上过什么用场,到了IELTS却正中下怀,课后跟老师聊起来,老师也是一样为遇见了我这种人激动不已. 听力上拿高分的可能性很大,所以从现在开始要继续磨耳朵.我很庆幸专四之后我虽然学习不是很用功但也花了很多时间看美剧,听力不仅没落下反而反映速度变快了,而虽然词汇量还缺的不少,但是语感越来越强.所以,obviously, 接下来的日子,要巩固基础,提高能力.

明天是口语课,这一块依旧迷茫,所幸我对自己的语音还是充满自信的. 所以希望在接下来即将到来的第四波降雪的日子里,凭借自己的信心和努力, 拨开云雾见红轮.

WRITING TASK 1

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. 

The bar chart below shows the passenger kilometres traveled by different means of transport in the UK in 1990 and 2000.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

You should write at least 150 words.

 

The graph presents the passenger kilometres of different means of transport traveling in the Great Britain in the 10 years spanning from 1990 to 2000.

From the bar chart, we can apparently see during that period, the use of bike, motor, and air stayed small portion of the five means, and the passenger kilometres of the front two decreased slightly, while that of the third rose minimally. During the decade, train, of which passenger kilometres had an obviously increase of 10 billion to 50 billion, became as the most important transportation as bus. However, it should be noted that the total of all means of transport traveling-kilometres leaped from 100 billion in 1990 to more than 110 billion in 2000.

To sum up, over the 10 years, the passenger kilometres got a significant growth, and bus and railway took the major parts in transport. It is projected to the plane-passenger kilometres rise a great number by the following century. 

 

这几天在家,早餐都由我来做.煮饺子,胡萝卜煎饼,煮面条,炕糍粑反正基本上是在换着花样弄.妈妈他们倒是没什么意见,可我老是觉着没吃爽,所以今天我弄的是起司蛋.

起司蛋...唉...其实就是Cheese Egg... 这个M记K记的早餐都有卖芝士蛋堡,但是我没那么麻烦,就把鸡蛋打在碗里一蒸(不用把蛋打碎),蒸到快熟的时候放一片奶酪在蛋上面一起继续蒸,熟了后端出来,想吃原味就这么吃,想加味放点番茄沙司和沙拉酱也都行. 因为我大爱起司,所以这实在是太合我胃口了,嫩滑的蒸蛋突出了起司的口感,起司的柔和香浓又增添了蛋黄的鲜香度,这俩实在天生一对.吃完后再泡上一杯柚子茶,实在是称心如意啊~

吃完了这顿,我又有了另一种想法是起司蛋羹,就是跟蒸鸡蛋羹一样,也是快熟的时候把奶酪弄碎放进去, 不知道味道怎么样,不过想起来是滑嫩诱人得很,有空再试试.

全面进入考试期了,完全不想看书,不想复习,也不想考试.

二号早上英汉笔译本学期最后一堂,下学期是汉英笔译,幸亏还是张昆群教. 晚上考了中国传统文化与翻译,开卷,还算简单顺手.

三号上午高英本学期最后一堂,OTL还要上两个学期,这个老师让我要流泪了. 下午考了纠结的英语文学概况,虽然是开卷,但是题量太大了,基本上就是乱抄了通,希望分数不至于难堪,否则也对不起我那两千字关于简奥斯丁的手写论文. 刚刚考完就屁颠屁颠的跑武大去赶陈一舟的报告会.

四号上了一早上的语言学和英国文学史,勾了一早上不清不楚的重点.

五号一觉醒来已经快十二点了,吃着面包突然发现键盘脏得无法容忍了,于是心血来潮拆洗. 总算一切都还蛮顺利,安装也很成功. 我现在用着这干净清透的键盘心中时刻谨记吃饼干的时候在键盘上铺报纸.

六号早上考当代世界政治与经济,开卷,好久不写中文了,这手抄写得都快没感觉了. 接着下午晚上就一直对着电脑不知道在干嘛,四处瞎逛, 后来受不了就开始看TLW的第一季了,感觉甚好.

七号早上说要早起(八点以前)还是没能成功,看了一早上的法语,想起要查个东西就开电脑,结果就很没自制力的开始看TLW.

八号,也就是今天,下午要考英汉笔译,想着应该不会很难吧...打算早起,所以写完这篇就睡.

九号晚上考法语, 感觉老师说的题目不难,可我就是看不进去.

十号一大早考政经翻译, 说到这我要强烈控诉!!!! 哪有翻译考试不带字典的!!! 别的限选课都开卷你这一门为什么不开卷啊!!! 气愤!!!!我们老师那么好,都说好开卷可以带字典了, 你为什么为什么为什么不许!!! 你教得又不好,我们班都不是你教了你还要影响我们!!! 挂学生很好玩么!!!!! (这里要解释一下我的气愤,因为本来政经翻译学的内容很多,而且是双向翻译,考试题量也很大,所以我们的政经翻译老师曾华就说考试开卷可以带字典,因为翻译考试都可以带的连英语专八都是这样的;可是教别的班的张琼老师说不准开卷不准带字典,而且还要求考17 大文件中节选的一段三百九十多字的段落考汉译英,并且是没学过的;因为我们的老师资历比张琼浅所以只能妥协了.可是这不是要人命么,中文三百九十多字译成英文估计也有个将近两百词了,这估计都得花上将近三四十分钟,而其他的题量都很大,还有两篇商务信函呢,这还要不要人活了. 真受不了,就是在庆幸这学期没张琼的课,应该会很舒服,没想到还是被她影响. 真是心酸.)

十一号是不是要考试到现在我还不清楚,貌似是说有传说中的重修.这课实在挂得太离奇了,我到现在还无法平复震惊的心情.

然后再就到十六号.下午跟晚上,两门,T-T, 语言学和英国文学史你们要不要这么好啊,上课连在一起,考试也连在一起.

最后就是十七号下午的高英了.

考试期就是这样,再就进入忙碌的寒假了,期待!

考试加油!!!
