day 9 思維導圖
day 10 總結(jié) 安妮講解
現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)晚上11點狼速,還有1個小時不到就要截至時間了,然而我現(xiàn)在才開始寫總結(jié)卦停。晚上才全部聽完安妮兩小時的講解向胡,在ddl之前我也不知道能整理出來多少。惊完。僵芹。
看到第一篇文章是經(jīng)濟學人,心情有點復雜小槐,一方面終于是自己熟悉的文體了拇派,另一方面也知道自己又要受到經(jīng)濟學人體的折磨——時不時冒出來的生詞,俚語凿跳,復雜的句式件豌,還有些時候單詞都認識,連起來也看不懂控嗜。
第一遍看完大概用了半個多少小時吧茧彤,讀完還是有點蒙蒙的。感覺和自己預期的不太一樣啊疆栏。在我印象中,講到新能源更多的應該是關(guān)于綠色壁顶、節(jié)能启妹、環(huán)保筛严、環(huán)境變化之類的關(guān)鍵詞。這篇文章初讀下來的感覺就是在講市場競爭饶米?新能源與傳統(tǒng)能源的關(guān)系桨啃?用電的供求關(guān)系?但是他們之間的具體關(guān)系還真是理不清檬输,道不明照瘾。
晚上把單詞查完,果然遠遠超出了20個丧慈,沒辦法析命,詞匯量的短板總是得慢慢補上啊~
第二天,從上午開始盼星星盼月亮等安妮老師的語音講解逃默,到了傍晚也沒見安妮老師發(fā)鹃愤,迎著頭皮自己梳理了一下最終還是放棄了完域。作為彌補软吐,作了新能源單詞的思維導圖筒主。
今天聽完音頻关噪,對安妮老師真的佩服的五體投地。一方面乌妙,安妮老師總是能夠把文章看的很透使兔,進過她的梳理,一條脈絡就整理的羅列在你的面前藤韵;另一方面虐沥,在語言方面的講解也十分到位,各種同義詞泽艘、單詞的來世今生欲险、俚語俗語、句法也都信手拈來匹涮。
關(guān)于文章的結(jié)構(gòu)天试,今天體會最深的是安妮老師講的經(jīng)濟學人的邏輯十分嚴密,上下銜接沒有絲毫漏風。之前對經(jīng)濟學人的文章的精讀從沒有做到如此深入,并不能完全賞析他的美吧二汛。
對于這個內(nèi)容泽台,覺得文章的切入點還是很新穎又很有現(xiàn)實意義的再层,尤其是對我這樣一個小白來說颠焦。就像之前說的法精,在人們的刻板印象中沛厨,新能源又環(huán)保又便宜刚照,干嘛不用刑巧。我也從從來沒有從市場經(jīng)濟或者投資的角度來質(zhì)疑過其背后的真相。
這也讓我想到了之前看的經(jīng)濟學人的一版講的是克隆的歷史變遷无畔,也給自己好好上了一課啊楚。主要是自己一直停留在多利、轉(zhuǎn)基因食品的階段浑彰,雖然這個話題一直很熱特幔,卻也沒深入的了解其發(fā)展現(xiàn)狀和理論≌⒆颍總之蚯斯,在以后的學習中,我還是應該多問一些為什么饵较。

day 11 補充閱讀
剛剛讀補充材料的時候很驚喜烁峭。原來考慮到原文文本的難度晨抡,給自己設(shè)定了1小時讀補充材料,但是發(fā)現(xiàn)上手格外快则剃,大概10分鐘就看完了耘柱,而且結(jié)構(gòu)、邏輯很清楚棍现。
這應該歸功于把原文這塊大骨頭啃下來吧调煎。之前對于新能源的了解比較膚淺,關(guān)于市場己肮、邊際效益等也十分陌生士袄,文中很多詞雖然反復出現(xiàn)悲关,但是很難搞明白到底是什么意思。
但是經(jīng)過三天的文本熟悉娄柳,尤其是對這個話題的熟悉寓辱,使得我在補充閱讀時如魚得水。
這仿佛也是啟示我赤拒,想要背一個專題的單詞秫筏、了解一個行業(yè)的知識,你還是得把自己拋入到那個環(huán)境中挎挖,熟悉这敬、了解、運用蕉朵,才能事半功倍崔涂。
之前覺得安妮選的專題都離我太遠,現(xiàn)在覺得真的很有用始衅。
