In recent years, great efforts have been made to increase the numbers of and kinds of people that pursue higher education. Access for mature students and students without traditional A-level qualifications is widening. 5. (1) what is the Open University in Britain (2)What do you think of this system (1)The Open University offers a non-traditional route for people to take university level courses and receive a university degree. People can follow university courses through textbooks, TV and radio broadcasts, correspondence, videos, residential schools and a network of study centre. (2)It was the Open University which provided the inspiration for the founding of China’s TV and Radio University.

东南大学英语语言文学专业考研经验
宏韬东大考研网 2014东南大学英语语言文学专业考研经验 现在有点空闲时间了，可以写点经验帖出来借大家参考。回想复习，初试，复试的经历不是很清晰了。但是想要告诉后来的同学们，希望可以有帮助。 记得是2007年的六月份决定了考研究生。相对于很多人来说应该比较晚了。考研是一定要选择学校的，当时选择上外，是因为这是英语领域很强的学校了，还有一个原因是大学在北京，不是很喜欢它，所以想去上海了。另外的原因是上外不考文学和语言学，这两门是我学得不好也很头疼的科目。我最喜欢翻译。更有一个重要的原因是这个论坛让我喜欢上了上外，喜欢这里的人们，他们很热情，善良，耐心。 买书是一件麻烦的事情，因为很多的书不能直接买到，是要预定的。而且还有书是买不到的，就像张培基的第一辑《英译中国现代散文选》。所以买书用了很多时间。我想如果在大城市里应该有很大的书店或者书城，就可以买到需要的书了。我的书不是一次买齐的，而是陆陆续续买回来的。书目是从这个论坛了解到的，所以心里很感谢学姐和师哥们。初试买的书有很多，数一数大概有十几本吧，我想有很多人买的应该更多吧。 英语 《汉英翻译基础教程》杨晓荣编著中国对外翻译出版公司（1，2，5，6，7，8）买了六本，还有7，8册答案书，所以是8本。很认真的看了7，8册，没有看1，2册，简单的看了5，6册。 《大学英汉翻译教程》王治奎山东大学出版社这本书是很容易买到的。 《大学英语语法与词汇》袁晓宁主编北京外语教学与研究出版社 等一些重要的参考书 法语 《新大学法语》（1）周林飞、李志清编高等教育出版社这不是我大学学习的课本，所以还是很认真的看了一遍，觉得内容比较多，有点难。 《大学法语考研必备》（世界图书出版公司）这本书是很好的，我很认真的把每一题都做了，看了两遍。 政治 《2007考研政治理论考试参考书》这本书很好买的，好好第看一遍很重要。 《政治理论基础过关2000题》认认真真的看了一遍，但是没有记住。 《2008全国硕士研究生入学考试用书--陈先奎政治考前大串讲》这本书很厚，不详细，建议不要买了。 《形势与政策》忘记了哪里出版的，我想任意的一本内容都是差不多的，讲的内容很多，很繁琐。但还是要好好看的。 还有一本《考研复习精编》，因为这是我报考的宏韬东大考研网的辅导班出的书，对我帮了很大的忙。 这就是我买的所有的书了，不是很多。但是我从小的时候就有认真看书的习惯，记得每次考试之前会把课本从头到尾认真看一遍。所以这几本书是认真看了的。
