【范例原文】: Tutor:?? Good morning everyone. Well I think we can start straightaway by getting Rosie and Mike to do their presentation. Would you like to start, Rosie?

Rosie:?Yes, well, um, we've done a survey on local entertainment. Basically, we tried to find out how students feel about the entertainment in the town and how much they use it.

Mike:?Yes, so we've called our project 'Out and About' ...

Tutor:?Yes, that's a good title! 'Out and About'.

Rosie:?We wanted to find out how well students use the entertainment facilities in town ... whether they get to see the latest plays, films ... that kind of thing.

Tutor:?Now, we have our own facilities on campus of course ...

Rosie:?Yes, we deliberately omitted those as we really wanted to examine outside entertainment in the town as opposed to on the university campus.

Mike:?Actually there were a lot of areas to choose from but in the end we limited ourselves to looking at three general categories: cinema, theatre and music.

Tutor:?Right.

Rosie:?OK. Well, first of all cinema. In the town, there are three main places where you can see films. There's the new multi-screen cinema complex, the old Park cinema, and a late-night Odeon.

Mike:?So if you look at this chart ... in terms of audience size, the multi-screen complex accounts for 75% of all cinema seats, the Park Cinema, accounts for 20% of seats and the late-night Odeon has just 5% of seats.

【范例分析】: 范例是兩個學(xué)生在老師的幫助下,一起陳述他們所完成的一個報告。一般來講presentation是每一位留學(xué)生必定會碰到的作業(yè)形式之一,它也是學(xué)生學(xué)期成績的組成部分,因此非常重要。尤其是第一次presentation,因為第一次作業(yè)的質(zhì)量會直接影響到老師對學(xué)生的印象。如果第一次能得到不錯的分?jǐn)?shù)的話,這將是一個良性的循環(huán)的象征。

【范例答案】: 1. Out and About

2. the campus/ university

3. B

以上提到的內(nèi)容均屬于雅思聽力校園生活場景的重要部分。大學(xué)里一場2個小時的講座可能是演說者一段時間,甚至畢生研究的高度濃縮,尤其對于專業(yè)領(lǐng)域的同學(xué)來說,可以起到指點迷津的作用;而一次1小時的課堂演說或課題探討可以讓自己的認(rèn)知有一個新的高度!

另外,很多學(xué)術(shù)講座對一些現(xiàn)實問題做出專家角度的剖析,引導(dǎo)學(xué)生,喚醒學(xué)生對于比如環(huán)境問題、社會性問題的思考。而這些相關(guān)的內(nèi)容和話題也是我們能夠在考試中遇到的。

因此,不管是哪一種形式,都是我們留學(xué)生涯的一道重要風(fēng)景線。

當(dāng)然,除了學(xué)習(xí)外,校園生活場景還包括:新生報到會,異鄉(xiāng)留學(xué)所碰到的一些問題等等。

考點之二: 新生報到咨詢

關(guān)鍵詞匯: orientation, facilities, courses, school history, etc.

在實際校園生活中,新生報到日可謂是學(xué)生校園生活的嶄新起點,報到日的活動更是每一位新生必要的經(jīng)歷。由于其主題正是與雅思考試聽力部分偏“生存類”這一出題思路遙相呼應(yīng),因此這一場景在考試中“曝光率”相當(dāng)之高!

新生報到會主要以介紹學(xué)校背景和特色進(jìn)行展開,例如設(shè)施,課程設(shè)置等。另外,這種形式通常出現(xiàn)在section2并經(jīng)常與校園地圖題相結(jié)合!

分析認(rèn)為,在考試中,“新生報道會”場景一般有以下四大特點:

新生報道首日的活動安排

學(xué)校場所設(shè)施及其功能介紹

校園課程咨詢及介紹
