  Honestly speaking, 真的是突然意识到,2008年了!
  还是应该习惯性的总结一下我的2007年之中各方面的工作和生活以及体会:
    第一,家庭依旧幸福,最重要的是我的家人们都健康顺利。
    第二,我的几个铁朋友们都顺利得去了美国(王汝锡、张斌),英国(袁一榕),和意大利(李运甲),我的大学铁哥们窦星、黄权、老衰他们在工作上都在各自的公司步入了更好以及更高的发展阶段,朋友们的成功以及成长对我来说也很重要。
    第三,实验室的工作进展还算顺利,和常宏博士一起工作总是充满激情的,我总考虑新东方将来如果真像俞老师所说---建立东方的哈佛,建立起新东方综合性大学的话,自动化方向上一定要招聘常宏作为学术带头人,最枯燥的东西,他能充满激情的进行着,以科研为乐的人,他是一个我佩服的家伙。
    第四,继2006年出版《GRE作文大讲堂》之后,2007年在新东方又出版了《GRE写作网络课堂》和《GMAT写作网络课堂》,要感谢我当年的恩师北京新东方国际预备学校校长的鹏鹏老师---王鹏,从学生的角度以及从后来的同事的角度,我都有说不完的感激。
    第五,依旧在新东方的讲台上传授着自己对于GRE考试,GMAT考试,新托福考试,考研英语以及四六级英语的教学经验和内容,应该说起到了对于广大同学有益的作用,也依旧是新东方集团写作教学战线上的王牌老师---小宝老师。
    第六,在各个大学进行了N次专场讲座(N我已经记不住是多少了)。
    第七,读完了几本很重要的书籍:《小王子》、《曼昆经济学原理》、尤金的《公司财务分析》、《GRE作文大讲堂》(主要为了修订,不断的再读自己的书)、《人性的弱点》。
    第八,学会了炒股并且2007年开始进入中国股市,还算顺利,比存在银行还是高了不少。
    第九,学会了理财,也在2007年年末在招商银行理了自己的第一笔财,发现了自己之前学了些财务和经济的知识还是起到了大作用的。
    第十,到处的开会,学会了一种思考的方式---该说话的时候一定要说话,不该说话的时候不要说话,最重要的是,年轻人应该少说话多做事,学会做一个听众和实干家。
    第十一,读了几篇重要的文章:《上市一年间的俞敏洪》、《HP大中华区总裁孙振耀撰文谈工作和人生》、《韩寒:开奔驰宝马的女大学生都是好样的》、《年底四部大片的启示:投名状、集结号、苹果、色戒》、《哈佛大学图书馆经典励志语言》、《打领带方法的方法汇总》、《学习牛人如何做科研》、《俞敏洪:我是商人》、《信念与激情---俞敏洪在企业家精神论坛上的演讲》,这些文章建议大家在网路上一定down下来好好读读,从不同的人物,不同的角度启发着你的人生。
    第十二,博客从2007年1月1日到2007年12月31日,从3万变成了近30万。
    第十三,全年收到同学们的邮件数量:37865封(含重复投稿者以及书籍的读者)
    第十四,对于未来的2008年,我对自己有一个明确的规划。
    第十五,对于未来,我依然心存很多的可能不切合实际的妄想,但是我永远记得一句话---理想的实现总是来源于最初的妄想。
    第十六,对于未来,无论是明确的规划,还是模糊的妄想,我都会依旧努力,加油,韦晓亮!
    2007年过去了,我很怀念它...

    单独的邮件实在回复不来,每天收到近70-80封新邮件,我都会看,但无法逐一回复,希望大家理解。但是,我会针对每一封邮件的内容,在博客以及我在滴答网的专家专栏http://www.tigtag.com/test/Special/xiaobao/Index.shtml 高频率的去写一些对大家有帮助的总结,在每一种考试前夕,我也的确都在这样进行中。(给我发邮件未得到回复的同学,请理解)

同学们,每年的四六级以及考研写作的考察话题往往涉及当年发生的比较大的事件或者现象,只不过,四六级倾向于考察校园范畴,而考研倾向于考察整个社会的热点现象,未必局限于校园话题。因此在此小宝老师给大家一些我认为比较热点的校园现象以及社会现象,用于四级、六级以及考研的同学进行之前的备考练习。他们会有交叉,因为都是涉及一些热点的现象和社会问题,但又有不同。具体如下:

 6. 大学生拖欠银行贷款问题(bank loan default)
 7. 大学生支教(Tutorial)
 8. 大学生心理健康教育(Psychological Heatlh Education of College Students)
这些只是主题,CET的作文可能会在不同的文体中(应用文、记叙文、议论文)中考察。
 
考研写作大作文考前重点热身话题(多练习经济类话题):
1. 炒股热(stock speculation)("Stock market is at risk; the market is cautious." )
2. 持续飙升的房价问题(Estate price)
3. 大学生支教(Tutorial)

今天结课答应给大家储备这样一个素材段落,后面会陆续进行。其实对于包括四级,六级,考研,新托福,GRE和GMAT的同学都会有用。只不过对于GRE和GMAT的作文具有针对性作用,而对于其他考试类别,能提高大家的语言和信息的表达能力。
 
Education developed from the human struggle for survival and enlightenment. It may be formal or informal. Informal education refers to the general social process by which human beings acquire the knowledge and skills needed to function in their culture. Formal education refers to the process by which teachers instruct students in courses of study within institutions. 
The proper aim of education is to promote significant learning. Significant learning entails development. Development means successively asking broader and deeper questions of the relationship between oneself and the world.

   当我们面对那些总是出尔反尔的人,我们要告诉自己---信守诺言是一种美德。自己不用生气,告诉自己,那些违背诺言以及誓言的人其实损失了世界上最宝贵的东西---信任。
