Diary: English Test Preparation Methods

I think there is a strange way to learn English in China. In preparing for the test, there are many experience articles that always tell you that you need to practice by translating the whole text into Chinese, which helps to achieve high scores in reading. Then they also recommend to single out some long and difficult sentences for grammatical interpretation and analyze various subordinate clauses like the analysis of reference answers. In short, to prepare for the test you need to pay a lot of attention to words and individual sentences, but they completely ignore the logic of the whole text. I've tried that before, but seriously it's so ineffective! It sucks to think about how much time it takes to translate a text and still feel unproductive afterwards. Some time ago I read a book titled Writing Academic English, and it was very helpful to me. I realized that I should analyze the text according to the logic of the lines. I tried it this morning, and I think I finally figured out how to find the answers to those questions. It feels great!

I think there is a strange way to learn English in China.

More natural: "I think people use some strange methods to learn English in China."

In preparing for the test, there are many experienceyou'll find many articles that always tell you that you need to practice by translating the whole text into Chinese, which helps toyou achieve high scores in reading.

Alternative: "When you prepare for tests, you'll find many articles that recommend practicing by translating the whole text into Chinese, which improves your reading scores."

Then they also recommend to singleing out some long and difficult sentences for grammatical interpretation and analyzeing various subordinate clauses like the analysis of reference answers.

Recommend + gerund: They recommend walking, running, studying, learning, etc.

In short, to prepare for the test, you need to pay a lot of attention to words and individual sentences, but this advicey completely ignores the logic of the whole text.

I've tried thatis before, but seriously, it's so ineffective!

"This" instead of "that" because you just explained what it is.
