メモを取る過程で、他の內(nèi)容を広げる

今日は1-5です

Insofar as I suppose, the most difficult part of College Entrance Examination must be translation (in Shanghai). My notes play a pivotal role in preparing it, whose advanced expressions from English magazines may also be adduced to serve as an appealing point in my guided writing answers. All in all, I need to practice the ability to "produce", by which I mean "output" content in English.?

For my notes see infra.
