今天終於可以把兩塊大石頭先放下一顆
一大早測驗中心的人打手機給我問說可不可以提前中午就去考
想說早死晚死終須一死
不過他的手續還蠻繁雜的
考前要填一張紙 先把它叫你寫的誓言手抄一次
進入考場前總共拿護照在那邊對來對去
還叫我把眼鏡拿下來讓他多看兩眼
連衛生紙和皮夾都不能放在身上
實在是比大學聯考還嚴格
不過這些都還好
最煎熬的就是開始考試前
在電腦螢幕前
先練習如何用鍵盤和滑鼠
接著叫你勾選很多資料 包含科系阿 為什麼要考GRE 如果你是美國人你會怎麼稱呼自己 老爸老媽學歷多少等等的
實在是有夠碎碎念的
當時只有一個念頭想說
等題目出來一定不知道怎麼寫
因為精力都被消耗光了
還好出的題目ISSUE 2選1 和 ARGUMENT都有背過
大致上應該是OK
想說就把題目PO出來順便當個紀念好ㄌ
希望只要考這一次就好了
但是可以一開始太緊張ㄌ ISSUE沒寫的那一題居然忘記ㄌ
最後再大聲複誦一次
"打倒美國帝國主義, 幹掉AI(Argument+Issue)機器人"
ISSUE
"To truly understand your own culture—no matter how you define it—requires personal knowledge of at least one other culture, one that is distinctly different from your own."
Argument
The following is a recommendation from the personnel director to the president of Acme Publishing Company.
"Many other companies have recently stated that having their employees take the Easy Read Speed-Reading Course has greatly improved productivity. One graduate of the course was able to read a five-hundred-page report in only two hours; another graduate rose from an assistant manager to vice president of the company in under a year. Obviously, the faster you can read, the more information you can absorb in a single workday. Moreover, Easy Read costs only $500 per employee — a small price to pay when you consider the benefits to Acme. Included in this fee is a three-week seminar in Spruce City and a lifelong subscription to the Easy Read newsletter. Clearly, Acme would benefit greatly by requiring all of our employees to take the Easy Read course."
