好像英语的学习从来都没有明确的界限，老师提醒你，即便是考研英语这样的考试，里面的题材也是五花八门，生活，科学，社会，教育，历史，人文，经济，法律等等都会出现在我们的文章里。可是对于很多的学生来讲，知识面狭窄，很多常识性的东西不了解，很多本应该是我们这个年龄段懂得东西却不知道如何去获取和学习。所以发现原来考研英语好难，想得高分真心很难。但是我想说的是，其实只要你克服一下自己对英语的一种心理上的态度的问题，那么很多东西都可以解决。并且要开始实践在平日的一些琐碎的零散的时间内，坚持英语的学习，哪怕是碎片式的学习，也是极其有帮助的。
今天，就给大家展示一篇林肯的著名演讲，大家在欣赏他的语言力量之美的同时，再来学习一些和考研英语相关的东西，发现就不会特别的枯燥和乏味。并且当有一天老师上课的时候问你说到演讲的时候，你就可以很傲娇的发现自己了解是多么快乐的一件事情。尝试每天做一点点，日积月累的效果自然就会带给你最大的回报了。
Gettysburg Address Abraham Lincoln Delivered on the 19th Day of November, 1983
Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought fourth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a large sense, we can not dedicatewe can not consecratewe can not hallowthis ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor ling remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated there to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before usthat from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion --- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain---that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom--- and that government of the people. By the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
