[回報] 10/30 北美機考
今天中午考的，考完馬上把兩本CAT拿出來做記號，
不敢說全都記下來了，但還是希望可以提供一點幫助。
順序是： AWA V Q V（最後的V是加考，作沒幾題就沒繼續了）
成績： V 650 /Q 800
〔AWA〕
"Rituals and ceremonies help define a culture. Without them, societies
or groups of people have a diminished sense of who they are."
"Most people choose a career on the basis of such pragmatic
considerations as the needs of the economy, the relative ease of
finding a job, and the salary they can expect to make. Hardly anyone
is free to choose a career based on his or her natural talents or
interest in a particular kind of work."
The following appeared as part of an article in a health magazine. "A
new discovery warrants a drastic change in the diets of people living
in the United States. Two scientists have recently suggested that
omega -3 fatty acids (found in some fish and fish oils) play a key role
in mental health. Our ancestors, who ate less saturated fat and more
polyunsaturated fat, including omega -3 fatty acids, were much less
likely to suffer from depression than we are today. Moreover, modern
societies — such as those in Japan and Taiwan — that consume large
quantities of fish report depression rates lower than that in the
United States. Given this link between omega -3 fatty acids and
depression, it is important for all people in the United States to
increase their consumption of fish in order to prevent depression."

我也是做到第五題左右就遇到短閱，心裡忍不住暗想運氣不好，
但看到左上的時間，忍不住緊張起來，想說還是快點專心答題好了。
總之，一共遇到2個短閱，1個長閱。
＊準備GRE的感想就是...
覺得11張很重要，是基礎。
我一開始本來想要同時背11張跟CAT，
但發覺這樣很挫折，還是乖乖地先背好11張，再開始CAT。
對我來說，這樣好多了。（雖然CAT還是很多新的單字...）
中間我有試著看紅寶，但是紅寶的新單字也很多，超多！
我因為時間不夠，到後來看紅寶都是隨意了...
建議是，背完CAT後如果真的還有時間，就開始看紅寶，
應該挫折感就不會太大。
（但其實我覺得把時間拿來做粉紅土司背單字軟體的題目更有效率！）
今天的考試，不知道是運氣好還是怎樣，
覺得遇到的類比跟反義題都不算是超難的CAT題目，
（CAT我好多沒背熟，考前超擔心的！）
反而考的幾乎都是11張上面有的。
我是比較不相信臨時報機經的佛腳，
因為覺得緊張的時候，我還是得土法煉鋼，從單字的意思中去判斷答案，
腦中死背的機經應該很難回想起來！
最後建議有空要真的練習打作文練習，
我準備時一篇都沒打過，
考試時寫得很不順，而且因為生澀，時間差點不夠！
大概就是降子了。
還在努力的人加油囉。
記得背熟11張跟CAT喔。
