七、Listening basics: entertainment

娛樂和放松的內(nèi)容有很多,都跟個(gè)人的興趣愛好有很大的關(guān)系。雅思的考點(diǎn)其實(shí)一直以來(lái)變化不大,只是會(huì)在現(xiàn)有考點(diǎn)的基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行細(xì)化和深入。例如:garden,museum,cinema這些考點(diǎn)已經(jīng)變化為formal garden,royal/art museum,multi-screen cinema來(lái)進(jìn)行考查了。

八、Listening basics: research methodology/methods

這一類單詞所表達(dá)的內(nèi)容理解起來(lái)并不難,但是由于國(guó)內(nèi)的教育體系很少鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生應(yīng)用這樣的研究調(diào)查方法,所以出國(guó)后具體操作起來(lái)會(huì)有很大的難度。好在很多學(xué)校都有這些方法的應(yīng)用指導(dǎo)課,幫助不太熟悉這些方法的人了解其中的細(xì)節(jié)。建議烤鴨們?cè)诔鰢?guó)之前就應(yīng)該通過(guò)網(wǎng)絡(luò)等方式對(duì)這些方法的細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行了解,盡最大可能降低在海外學(xué)習(xí)的不適應(yīng)度,快速調(diào)整自己,跟上教師的授課和作業(yè)完成進(jìn)度。

九、listening basics: building

租房子場(chǎng)景中此類詞匯考察點(diǎn)極高。這就要求學(xué)生們不但要熟悉各種建筑物的特點(diǎn),還要了解其一定的內(nèi)部特征,材料材質(zhì),內(nèi)部構(gòu)造和布局等要點(diǎn)。一般房屋結(jié)構(gòu),圖書館結(jié)構(gòu),博物館結(jié)構(gòu),校園建筑物布局等都是雅思曾經(jīng)關(guān)注過(guò)的要點(diǎn)。
