Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am planning to continied my postgraduate study in English Pedagogy in Foregin Language Dep. in your honored university. But now it seems to me that I am deeply in trouble: I have no idea on one of the compulsory subjects that they required, namely, the comprehensive one(综合科目，包括汉语和英美概况）, which consists of basci knowledge of Chinese and American- British background.
Therefore, with the flimsy hope that one of you might so gentle and kind that I could be informed something on this issue,I came here and wrote those above. I hope this message can be replied soon,by you, my potential friend.

非常抱歉
这恐怕要由英语系的来说明一下
不了解情况

外语考研也改成文综了 吗?
我还以为只有中文这么干呢,
呵呵,看来 是 个大趋势啊.
你可以直接去研院问老师,打电话不如直接去,祝你好运!!

谢谢各位的回复，我已经完全找到这些东西了。祝福我吧。
