前天和一起在外学习过一年的闺蜜聊天，觉得自己的英文写作水平一落千丈，很多语法、表达都提笔就忘。为了自己不丢掉自己的专业、想给自己定个21天计划恢复一下英文写作水平。

闺蜜比我在外多读了一年Education课程，回国后也一直泡在英语教育行业里面，她给我的建议是，每天精读英语新闻不少于5000词，先有输入再有输出，坚持一周后尝试自己写英文新闻，再交给mentor修改。我就按照她给的方法，坚持21天试试。

计划：

8.1-8.7日，每天精度至少5篇英语新闻，取材 国内英文报纸：China Daliy、GT英文版。国外经济学人、WSJ、彭博等。

8.8-8.14日，仍然每天精度至少5篇英语新闻，这一周尝试自己写一篇。

今天是8月14日，回头看一看笔记，觉得自己越记越少，原因有两个，一是觉得读起来通顺多了，很多文章不需要查资料直接通读下来。二是，弃笔用电脑了，打字简洁多了。根据组长TS的建议，我汇总一下前两周的打卡笔记，方便自己复习和编辑。自己在电脑上并没有留存文档。

8.15-8.21日，仍然每天精度至少5篇英语新闻，尝试自己写几篇

8月21日后，买一本英文原著，希望可以坚持读下去。

8月24日总结一下：

进步：

1、看英文比以前快多了，查的单词少一些。

2、工作中写英文邮件可以表达的更清楚点。

不足：

1、还需要大量时间巩固复习。

2、需要多找资源去读，不能只重复一家媒体，句式太千篇一律。

接下来要做的，不能只看21天就又丢了，那就又回到起点了呀，在家翻出一本书。

《Heaven cracks, earth shakes》说的是文革之后、唐山大地震之后的中国社会情况，一位英国人写的。

一共252页，每天看30页，8天左右完工，读完来写读后感：）

Conglomerate产业集团

Yet the Chinese conglomerate has not contented itself with vying for the lower-end market. Its P7 and P8 models are directly meant to challenge the iPhone and Galaxy series.

Its operating system, MIUI, has been well-received by fans but has faced media criticism for being eerily close to Android and iOS in many of its features

Slim down price 低价

While tech critics have admired the package Xiaomi offers for a slimmed-down price, the flashiness of its marketing must take an equal share of the credit. The concept of flash sales

The concept of flash sales, which began in China as a way to drive up demand, have almost become ubiquitous with the brand

Ubiquitous：无所不在的

The speed at which Xiaomi has grown has also become a phenomenon in and of itself. In five years, its market capital has risen to over $45 billion. While the iPhone is as famous a brand as Apple, the name of Xiaomi is far better known than Redmi or Mi, its major lines. This may well change as the company evolves and matures, but for now, its iconoclastic approach to marketing allows it to stand out.
