前言

我本科就读于武汉大学空间信息与数字技术专业。本科期间对编程产生了浓厚的兴趣,并在之后保送至北京大学计算机系攻读硕士。之前一直在工作与出国之间徘徊纠结,一直到研一下学期才决定读PhD。在2019fall的申请中,今年二月份,收到了和Gatech的CS PHD offer。实际上,自己有很大的软肋,托福口语只有19,然而UIUC 口语卡24 with TA, 卡22 without TA。幸运的是,自己的科研能力得到了 UIUC教授的认可,并在其极力推荐和帮助下,最终通过多加一轮口语面试,被破格录取!

为期一年的黄金加速期

2017年6月,确定出国,当时就先想着先把TOEFL和GRE考了吧。但是没想到的是,我的英语很糟糕,并且进步很慢。一直到11月份,才考到了90(从最初的76)。此时距离申请也就一年的时间,自己作为一名三无学生,没有科研,没有推荐信,没有英语,并且绩点也一般(3.5),心急如焚。后来我加入了GGU(世毕盟),培训师和mentor立马跟我开了第一次可以说有转折性的meeting。这次会议中,GGU帮我制定了“战略转移性”策略:以科研为主,英语为辅,全力提高自己的天花板。从此一年的科研征途正式起航。

由于之前并没有做过任何科研,开始时也是无从下手,举步维艰。即使穷途末路,也逼着自己及时调整心态。耐心、坚持,是当时最常对自己说的两个词。后来慢慢逐渐找到了做科研的感觉,并一鼓作气,完成了三篇质量还不错的一作论文,其中一篇已经被A类会议所接收。

科研之路充满崎岖,一直过着读paper,写paper;累了,背单词,听听力;困了,睡觉;这样周而复始的“规律的”生活。印象中这一年,一共就给自己放了两次假,一次五一旅游,一次暑假期间做了个手术。遇到瓶颈早已屡见不鲜。我记得应该有至少五次,我跟我的培训师焦老师说:我感觉今年没戏了,想gap 一年。说出来可能难以置信,在去年11月4号左右,12月中旬几乎是所有申请的ddl时,我的TOEFL还是90,GRE还没考,论文也只是刚投出去。周围的人都对我放弃了。我的室友后来跟我说,他当时想劝我找工作,但见到我时,

一直没好意思开口,因为我一直都是差一点放弃。但是培训师及时给了我很大的鼓舞,提醒我按部就班去做好每一件事情,也正是因为彼时的坚持才有了此时的成功!

秉着巨大的压力,用大概三个星期的时间,TOEFL从之前的90考到了100;又用了两个星期的时间GRE考到317。虽然还不是很理想,但至少让我拥有了申请很多学校的基本standard。

回首这段岁月,经常狂风骤雨,遍体鳞伤,但长出的是更坚强不屈的盔甲。

关于科研

对于绩点已经定型的小伙伴们,科研才是决定你申请的结果上限的重要因素。科研对应的就是高质量的论文。一定要有一篇一作。一篇B类的一作要比一个A 类二作分量重很多,这是top school的教授亲口告诉我的,也是我自己血泪经验教训的总结。因为这表示你已经具有初步独立做研究的能力。二作三作其实很难鉴定contribution。有些是freerider,有些确实做了很多工作。

科研我觉得最重要的是耐心,坚持钻研,定会开云见日。在开始做科研之时,自己的预期是完成一篇一作B类的会议论文。之所以能在一年内完成三篇一作,是因为不断的摸索中,找到了自己的方法。耐心的钻研最新的相关paper,并总结它们优势与缺陷,而这些就是inspiration,比如,优势的结合,缺陷的弥补。

关于推荐信

一篇强有力的大牛推荐信可以把你推入名校。海外暑研是一个有效且高效的路径。周围有很多同学依靠一封强有力的推荐信进入梦校,所以我也是强烈推荐的。但并不是每位同学都有这样的机会。没有暑研的同学好好做科研一样可以助你成功。作为没有暑研和牛推的我,申请结果也比较满意。当然千万不要让口语拖你的后腿哦。

关于套词

套磁不是必须的,但是一定是强烈推荐的!一是可以让你跟导师提前建立联系,在最后硬件背景都不是很优越的情况下帮你推荐给committee,最终拿到offer;二是可以帮助你有一个申请范围的清晰定位。如果你得到了top20的普遍回复,那么你申请选校时应该把自己的定位在前二十。我是在10月份左右开始套磁,并开始为之后的录取保驾护航。

关于GGU

首先,GGU的培训课程可谓是留学界基础知识浓缩的精华。从整体规划,申请前的准备,暑研的准备,如何套词,CV和PS的撰写,推荐信的注意事项等等,甚至寄送托福成绩单都会有很清楚详细的讲解。不光这个,里边还会提供过往学长学姐优秀的模板供参考,把你申请期间可能遇到的坑都会给你提前规避开,让你少走弯路,条条大路通offer!

其次,我要强烈称赞GGU的培训师和mentor,真的是尽心尽责。我的培训师焦老师手把手教我各种事情。在我套词时,每一封给老师发的邮件,以及回复,他都会揣度,修改。记得刚过完春节,大年初四,我因为还没收到offer,如坐针毡,就想发邮件问套磁的教授。午夜十二点,我给焦老师发信息,立马就回我了,并立即帮我定了大纲,并帮我修改了措辞,一直陪我熬到凌晨1点半,

几封邮件确认无误发送之后才去睡觉。这样的情况有两三次。真心感谢焦老师。我的mentor泽宇也是非常的nice,是CMU的PhD,帮我分析了选校,修改文书,私下他们也会像哥们一样的聊天。尤其是打油诗简直666,既给你加油打气,又让你合不拢嘴。

最后

愿各位与自己的Dream School终成眷属。

解读新托福阅读中推理题

解读新托福阅读中推理题 解读新托福阅读中推理题。今天,天道小编要和同学们介绍的是新托福阅读中推理题解决策略。下面,和天道小编一起来看看吧: 断题就是所需要的信息都包含在文章中,但是没有直接加以说明,需要考生从已知中推出。推理题的题干中常出现infer, imply , most likely (least likely) 或probably 等词语。根据OG,在IBT 阅读的3篇文章中,每篇会有0-2道这类问题,一次考试总共有3-4道推断题。 一、推理题的两大分类:有共性的推理题和无共性的推理题。 这里所谓的有共性推理题就是说题干中有和原文内容相同的关键词(也叫线索)。根据关键词回原文定位,然后进行推理。一般来说,大多数的推理题都属于这类题目。对于无共性的推理题,也就是题干中无线索,一般使用排除法,即根据各个选项的关键词回原文定位,通过排除法得出正确答案。返回原文找信息点,采用排除法是解决这两类题型解决的共同策略。 二、推理题的三个具体的解题思路: 1、一般对比推理:根据两个事情的对比特征,问其中一个事物的特征,只要将与之形成对比的另外一个事情的特征否定掉就可以。 2、时间对比推理:在这种推理中,一般有两个形成对比的时间段,它们所具有的特征一般相反。当题干问一个时间段的特征时,只要将与之相反的时间段的特征否定掉就可以了。 3、集合概念推理:一个大的集合的两个方面形成对比,两者之间存在着互补性关系,也就是一个的增加意味着另一个的减少。反之,相同。这个比较抽象,我们来看一个例子:例如:Both the number and the percentage of people in the United States involved in nonagricultural pursuits expanded rapidly during the half century following the civil war, with some of the most dramatic increases occurring in the domains of transportation, manufacturing, and trade and distribution.来源:考试大 What can be inferred from the passage about the agricultural sector of the economy after the Civil War? (A) New technological developments had little effect on farmers. (B) The percentage of the total population working in agriculture declined. (C) Many farms destroyed in the war were rebuilt after the war. (D) Farmers achieved new prosperity because of better rural transportation.

托福综合写作7范文托福作文的综合写作应该写

托福综合写作7范文托福作文的综合写作应该写托福作文写作应该分为三个层次,也就是我们确定中心思想后应该找三个理由来支持。托福写作还有一个五段论,第一段为中心思想,二三四为支持段落,第五段总结观点。这个就是所谓的八股文。但是形式不能太明显,在表达中多加入自己的思想,八股文的形式会隐晦一些。一般这种写作可以助你在托福作文中取得高分。 构建综合写作整体,你可以从以下这几个方面入手:第一,将听力及阅读中的核心观点提炼出来,并指明对应的两个观点是支持还是对立;第二,分为几个段落,分别从不同角度总结出两个观点的论据。最后,重申主要论证观点并注意切忌掺加个人观点。听力结束后,考生还会有时间回看阅读文章,所以不用完整记忆阅读文章的论点和论据,记下核心即可。 有问题,可以再问我。 我觉得 ___老师讲的不太对,我自己本身也在 ___培训过,感觉他们讲的方法都是很过时的方法,不太适用于新托福的考试。下面是我自己考了四次托福的感想: 2、其实考试的时候,观点找错的情况似乎不太会发生。。。因为阅读里面都有提示了啊。。。一般不会弄错的,所以不用担心,

重点是细节不要搞错,要挺清楚细节说了那几点,尽量不要落下那个点,细节齐全 3、写得时候模板适当用用,但是表全部都用,那样文章就有点僵硬了,你自己读着通顺就好啊。 4、文章内部用词要有多样性,要适当地用一些高级的词汇,如重要的这个意思,你不要只用important, 这样显得你不认识多少单词,可以用significant, vital, essential, of great importance, core, 这种意思相近的单词或者是意群来表达,这样他们就认为你词汇量大了。 5、写综合写作最能体现你的词汇量和句型的多边性,所以不要直接照抄听力或者是阅读的内容,这样就表现不出你自己了,多看看新概念4里面的表达方法,哪些句型神马的都很好,对考试很有用!!! 6、模板没有对错之分,你自己需要好一个模板,然后自己用自己弄出来的,这样比较好,不过这种东西都差不多,重点还是看个人的表达神马的,还有词汇量什么的。

As knowledge and experience serve as twim towers in problem-solving, one is often presented with two major paths that pave the way for final fulfillment, eitther to wrack his brain, just like what happened to Neuton, siiting for many years under an apple tree and eventually figuring out ond of the greatest universal rules that govern the whole globe, or to seek for others ’ widsom through their advice, just as in the case of Benjinin Franklin, gathering great minds under one roof and then establishing a most world-renown libray. Both ways work. When a practical goal is involved, however, Benjimin Franklin may best be regareded as a role model in this respect and asking people for advice often turn out to be the prime alternative. Experience and knowledge borrowed or learned from others’ advice contribute greatly to effectiveness and effeciency for a goal-accomplishment. Not all experience and knowledge related to problem-solving can be obtained by personal effort alone due to limitations of mind and capabilities of each individual. A single thought in someone’s mind is, more often than not, far less shining compared with group ’s wisdom. That explains the famous old saying that one sees further when standing upon the shoulders’ of past great giants; that explains why a great leader is always with greater minds; that also explains why teamwork in corperation is highly emphasized in the 21st century. Brainstorm and exchange of ideas between different thoughts never fail to enhance capabilities of each individula involved, a team, a company, an institution, a country, or even the entire global village. Asking others’ advice instead of getting everything done on one’s own promotes democracy and communication too. In terms of democracy, it is necessary to give others rights and chances to speak since the problem may concern them in different ways, and their saying in turn reflects our respect toward freedom of speech as well as their wisdom. In terms of communication, idea exchange sometimes focuses more than solutions, and hereby better mutual understanding about perspectives, principles, praticalities and personalities of each other. Admittely turning to others for help and suggestion by no means refers to absolute and irresponsible dependence. Consideration upon different thoughts and ideas broadens our mind, enlarges our vision, furthers understanding, enhances more effective and efficient brainstorm, and stresses mutual respect in groups and communities, which undoubtedly gives rise to better, if not the best solutions. As is paraphrasedfrom John F Kenedy, brainstormed, there is little we cannot do while divided, there is little we can do. 托福写作辅导:托福考试满分作文欣赏(2) Case of Benjinin Franklin, gathering great minds under one roof and then establishing a most world-renown libray.

托福阅读推理题如何选出正确答案

托福阅读推理题如何选出正确答案 一、推理题的标志 推理题的题干中一般含有infer, imply, most likely, least likely, probably等词,分为有共性的推理题和无共性的推理题两大类。 二、推理题的做法 对于无共性的推理题,也就是题干中无线索的,一般使用排除法,即根据各个选项的关键词回原文定位,通过排除法得出正确答案。 对于有共性的推理题,也就是题干中有线索的,可以先圈定题干中的关键词,根据关键词回原文定位,然后进行推理。推理题主要有下列思路: 1.一般对比推理 ETS设计推理题的手段不多,根据两个事物的对比特征出题是其中之一。问其中一个事物的特征时,只要将与之形成对比的另一个事物的特征否定掉就可以了。例如: It should be obvious that cetaceans–whales, porpoises, and dolphins–are mammals. They breathe through lungs, not through gills, and give birth to live young. Their streamlined bodies, the absence of hind legs, and the presence of a fluke and blowhole cannot disguise their affinities with land-dwelling mammals. However, unlike the cases of sea otters and pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, and walruses whose limbs are functional both on land and at sea), it is not easy to envision what the first whales looked like. 2. Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 1 about early sea otters? &<61;It is not difficult to imagine what they looked like. &<61;There were great numbers of them. &<61;They lived in the sea only. &<61;They did not leave many fossil remains. 根据关键词sea otters定位第四句:However, unlike the cases of sea otters and pinnipeds…,由原文的unlike可知sea otters和pinnipeds两种动物与whales形成对比,而且很难想象原始的whales的样子;根据“一般对比推理”思路,可以推出“原始的sea otters的样子不难想象”。第一个选项表达了此意,为正确答案。 2.时间对比推理 这种思路常被考到。在这种推理中,一般有两个形成对比的时间段,它们所具有的特征一般相反。当题干问一个时间段的特征时,只要将与之相反的时间段的特征否定掉就可以了。 例一: Basic to any understanding of Canada in the 20 years after the Second World War is the country’s impressive population growth…. …It appeared that Canada was once more falling in step with the trend toward smaller families that had occurred all through the Western world since the time of the Industrial Revolution. … It can be inferred from the passage that before the Industrial Revolution

As the economy and technology develop at an incredible speed in today’s society, there are an increasing number of people believing that the most important problems affecting our society today could be solved within our lifetime. In my view, however, this is out of the question and the three most significant problems affecting the society, namely war, environmental destruction and disease, will still influence us and may not be entirely resolved forever. War is a problem afflicting humans since they took into being in the first place. Wars take place when different countries have conflicting benefits, which is unlikely to be eliminated as long as the boundaries between countries still exist. For instance, in the Middle East where water is extremely scarce, many countries are in conflict in contention for water resources. Since every country acts for the sake of its own benefit, it seems that people in the region are incapable of living together in harmony. Eternal world peace, therefore, is unlikely to be achieved in our lifetime. Environmental destruction emerged not long before but it is becoming increasingly severe and can not be ignored. With the large-scale utilization of fossil fuels and rapid development of industry, huge amounts of pollutants are being produced, contaminating the environment to a large degree. The disposal of these pollutants being a tough task, it is hardly possible that we can completely get rid of them within a short period of time. Furthermore, even if we can come up with optimal methods for dealing with these substances, there remains the problem that these methods may cost too much and obstruct the development of economy. Last but not least, the well-being of people around the world is threatened by a variety of diseases, ranging from AIDS to cancer, the cures for which have not been discovered yet. Diseases set off panics among humans, affect their normal life and leave people badly off with the high medical expenses. There are thousands of scientists devoting themselves to finding cure for diseases, but new types of diseases keep emerging and there is no eliminating all of them. In summary, the problems with the most significance today are going to be passed on to our offspring. To eliminate these problems thoroughly, there is still a long way to go.

Although a vast majority of people agree with this notion, opinions on how to achieve one's ambitious dreams or realistic goals are diverse. As a broadly-disseminated idea goes that the other 8 hours of free time determine one's success, an increasing number of young people are pondering a problem of how to maximize their "free" time—the 8 hours in the day when they are not studying, working or sleeping.

Our ancestors were highly active thanks to their hunter-gatherer lifestyle; they ate fairly balanced diets due to the limited availability of fats and simple carbohydrates; and they relied on stress as a survival mechanism that kept them alert during intermittent periods of danger. Now, many of us spend upwards of 8 hours a day sedentary at our jobs; we eat unbalance diets of pre-prepared foods in order to save time; and we are constantly stressed due to a never-ending bombardment of stressors coming from our contemporary lifestyle. Managing all three things--diet, exercise, and stress--would be a daunting task for anyone, so if I had to pick one thing to improve my health, it would probably be exercise.
