写给校友的一封信(a letter to a school-friend)

　　dear xiao li,

　　you are going to take cet-4 on june 25. having some experience, i’d like to share my knowledge of the test with you and hope it will be helpful to you.

　　first of all, you should have a clear understanding of the test and your english level. after that, you can prepare for the test accordingly.

　　you can at the beginning focus on your weakest points. for example, i was very bad at listening and i spent more time practicing it and i didn’t find much difficulty when i was doing this part during the test. they you should do exercises of other parts included in the test. it is a good way to do a model test once a week. when the exam is near, you can review all the exercises you have done and pay more attention to the mistakes you have made. it really helps.

　　what’s more important, when you are going to take the exam, be calm and confident about yourself. i believe you will do well in the test.

　　yours ever,

　　zhang qiang
