    没有免费的午餐

        在学校ACADEMIC SUPPORT CENTER找了份兼职,一个月800美金。本以为是份很轻松的工作,结果今天第一天做PROCTOR好辛苦啊。只能感谢,原来我本科在美国学了CREATIVE WRITING,还有回国后,考了专八。所以我至少知道谁是SIR SIDNEY PHILIP, CHAUCER, MARLOWE, SPENCER,SHAKESPEARE, 这些古英语,以及一些BIG NAMES。我的第一次监考,是给一个有点行动不方便的本科生,监考。考场是图书馆三楼的COMPUTER ADAPTIVE ROOM.我给她监考,她要考的是英语文学的期中考试。因为她行动不方便,我得帮她打字在WORD上。考试有两个部分,第一部分是类似我们语文的文学常识,一共有13道题目。基本上每道题都是某位出名的PLAY WRITER, POET的作品,然后让学生IDENTIFY作家是谁,以及是什么作品。第二部分是文学评析,有两道ESSAY WRITING. 打字打的我要死,同时又继续锻炼了我的听力,以及我的文学常识。在美国的本科两年,已经彻底让我醒悟了,我果然不是CREATIVE WRITING的料。虽然这女的PHYSICAL 有点DISABILITY,但是MENTALLY可是非常不错的。就是有点太PICKY了。美国人的SPELLING不行,她说的容易,可是要我把这些话打下来,而且要ACCURATELY,也不是那么容易的事情,尤其是戏剧里面的CHARACTER,名字又长,很多又出自BIBLE,她自己也不会拼。结果还有点责怪我不会完全拼对。我只是她的TYPER,如果把所有语法,词汇,文章的遣词造句,都让我做了,我岂不是EDITOR了?事实上我的确帮了她很多,两个半小时的考试结束后,她自己都说,没有想到我能完成那么复杂的工作,AS A FOREIGNER。
         如果下次要我监考的是个学数学,或者化学之类的,然后行动不便,让我帮他TYPE,我估计我GRE的词汇又会提高了。现在因为上SIS的课,已经把我的词汇提升到了更加ABSTRACT的LEVEL.会说NIETZSCHE了,作业很多,OVERWHELM了.
