前言：
    考完GRE已经整整一周了，这七天里我看电影，打球，跟朋友聚会，上网买东西，很是放松了一把。当然也同时利用这些时间从太傻下载了许多我认为有用的IBT资料，并整理完毕。

    发现我的自制力还是没有想象中的好，如GRE备考一样，我也在这里开个IBT备考日记，每天把当天所学记录下来，并做好明日计划，以此督促自己每日高效率地学习。恳请众GT战友监督我哦，剩下的这60天（偶8月17日在南京考），一天也不能浪费了。加油！

背景介绍：
    目前已工作一年，为某高校老师。本硕皆非英语专业。2002年通过大学英语四级85分，六级75分，本科时参加了英语本科段自学考试，啃完了所有课程。研究生做毕业论文时阅读了大量专业英文论文。我对英语一直很感兴趣，算是这么多年从未间断英语学习吧。6月7日刚考完GRE。（特别声明哦：我不是牛人，只是每天给自己定个稍高的任务来提高自己的学习效率。6G成绩还没出，感觉考得不好，ANYWAY，我已尽力了。）

IBT备考总体思路：
   自己感觉我的阅读、词汇和语法都不存在大问题，听力和写作问题也不大（当然仍需加强），难点是口语，而我又希望口语考到25分以上，所以，口语是我的IBT备考重点。
    保持住阅读和词汇，重点提高自己交流的能力：即口语和写作。听力也要花大力气提高。

资料：
    我不报专门的IBT辅导班，但在7月打算花银子参加一个外教的口语提高班。目前只买了一本《新托福考试完全攻略》，大体了解了IBT是什么样子。其他资料全是从太傻下载的。（考完IBT以后，要做点什么回报太傻才是）

初步计划：

6月16日-27日近十天的安排：（口语强化加做完OG）
     口语：先花10天时间把语音语调纠正一下，把嘴巴打开，把舌头练灵活些。十天后开始背段子。这十天内无论做什么都要尽量让耳朵听，嘴巴说。
     口语语音语调十天突破的具体安排初拟：用10天（6月17日-27日）左右把4+1听说速成的语音语调练完一遍，每天3课时。
同时，16日-22日，花7天把《正音美语发音基本功》练完一遍，并参考赖世雄的美国音标速成的MP3。此阶段语音纠正结合这个http://www.uiowa.edu/~acadtech/phonetics/english/frameset.html网站的讲解进行http://www.uiowa.edu/~acadtech/phonetics/english/frameset.html
http://www.uiowa.edu/~acadtech/phonetics/english/frameset.html

   增：利用间隙时间每天听3个“美音语调”TIPS,并听完写出来.

23日-27日，跟着 American accent training的MP3 和文本以及《节奏训练》的系统学语调。

听力：每天精听一集FRIENDS。增：根据afiyyn的建议加大听力分量，每天听写一期scientific america 。
阅读和写作：每天看30页，我从图书馆借的外文专业书籍 。做好英文笔记，并摘抄好的句子。
词汇：每天跟着MP3 读红宝书5个LIST 的单词。
做题：尝试利用16日-月底，把OG 做完。

6.16 总结：

语音：1.跟着UIOWA 网站把VOWELS学完了第一遍，这网站感觉很好。明天把正音的跟上。
      2.利用吃饭间隙听了“美音语调”三个TIPS。吃饭的路上和吃饭时听几遍，回来再听一遍并做笔记，然后根据笔记完成了以下写作：
Daily Tips on Learning English
The first tip I learned today is the difference between can and can’t. The most effective way to distinguish ‘can’ and ‘can’t’ in oral English is in stress: ‘can’ is not stressed but the verb after it is; whereas ‘can’t’ is stressed and the verb after it is not stressed, e.g., I can drive bicycle, but I can’t drive a car.

The second tip I learned today is how to distinguish the number thirteen and thirty, fourteen and forty, fifteen and fifty, and so forth. The secret of distinguishing these pairs of words in spoken English is also in the stress patterns: in the –teen numbers, it is the first syllable which is stressed while, in the –ty numbers, it is the second syllable which is stressed, e.g.,
thirteen, thirty.

The third tip I’ve learned today is about stressed and unstressed syllables. A stressed syllable is pronounced more prominently than surrounding syllables, simply put, we say louder and lengthen the vowel sound. While in the unstressed syllables the vowels are reduced. It is important to lengthen stressed vowel sounds, e.g., the stress pattern of ‘I didn’t do it on purpose’ is similar with that of ‘banana’.

听力：精听了老友记101并记忆了相关词汇。
阅读：看了OG第一章。读后感如下：顺便练习写作：
 
Book review of the first chapter of OG
 
    I spent about one hour reading the first chapter of the OG this evening. Definitely a good book it is. The major contribution of reading the first chapter of OG is that I must change my motivation of taking IBT. I should not treat this examination as the way I do with CET4/6, or the GRE. Because since tonight’s reading I have known that ETS created the IBT is not for nothing but to evaluate the prospective students' abilities of using English effectively in an academic environment and communicate confidently with spoken or written English. And what has impressed me most is the ETS' emphasis on students' output skills in oral and written way, i.e. speak and write something after you have read and heard some academic materials.
 
   I want to be a PH.D in the U.S.A, and I want to be successful in the academic setting in the future, therefore I have to improve my abilities of listening, speaking, reading and writing in English--especially speaking, listening and writing.
 
   Though it sounds a little tough for me to dramatically improve my English abilities in just two months, but I regard this period of time as a start of my path toward a successful academic survivor in the America.  Remember, impossible is nothing! I believe if I try my best I can fly freely in my favorite academician sky in the near future.
 
SO JUST KEEP ON HARD WORKING TOMMOROW!

6.17学习总结（下午被领导抓去参加活动了，FRIENDS没听，阅读和单词任务没有完成）

1. DAILY TIPS ON LEARNING ENGLISHThe first tip I learned today is how syllable stress affect the meaning of words. As we have known, stressed syllables are said louder and lengthened, and unstressed syllables are said softly and the vowel sounds are reduced. Stress syllable alone can make the difference of a word's meaning. If the second syllable is stressed the word is a verb, and if the first syllable is stressed the word is either a noun or an ajective, e.g., If you don not have a perform fishing in the pool is not performed.

The second tips I learned today is the difference between voiced and voiceless consanants, such as the difference between 't' and 'd'. I think this is very easy for us to distinguish them, so I don't need to tell details of it.
 
The third tips on learning English I learned today is how to use the difference of voiced and voiceless consanants to distinguish different words. The vowel followed by voiced consanants is shorter than that followed by voiceless consanants, e.g., the sound of 'e' in 'bet 'is shorter than the sound of 'a' in 'bad'.

2.刚听了第一期的SCIENTIFIC AMERICANS. (链接一下应该不侵权

超打击哦,一上来就拿笔想记,结果头三遍下来还没听出是干啥,于是,只听不记,反复听到第十遍,才能把大体内容和细节听清楚,但几个人名和专业词汇死活听不出, 然后,又开始听一句,停下来,默写出来,就这样又听了十遍才写完全文. 哎,怎么记笔记哦.听力真的不容忽视哦.

3.语音语调：花3小时认真练习了UIOWA 网站的辅音。明天要花时间区分自己容易发错的音。再把所有的音位纠正一遍。跟着4+1把3个课时的内容练了一遍。（主要跟女的练的，那男的发音不地道，我逢他就跳。）

4.阅读：
专业书读了十页左右，摘抄短语如下（笔记还没做）

感谢大家的关注：
