1.租房场景
这种题型,以前看人也介绍过,并且很详细,这里把他们总结在一起。
首先辨别是租房还是买房。For lease, for rent 出租与for sale 出卖
房子的类型有:公寓flat, apartment, 学生宿舍dormitory (dorm) , 学生旅店student hostel, 青年旅店youth hostel ,还有一种叫留宿当地居民家里homestay.
一般房子有的家电或设施有:
炉子stove, 冰箱fridge, 微波炉microwave oven, 洗衣机washing machine, 空调air-conditioner, 电风扇electric fan, 冷却器电暖炉radiator, 电炉electric stoves ,

房子位置:Road(Rd.), Street(St.), lane小路巷, Avenue 大道
门厅的叫法:hall, lobby, porch 阳台balcony,睡房bedroom, 厨房kitchen,
租房的规律为:
离市中心越近,房价越高,位置稍偏,价钱会比较有吸引力;但便宜的房子一般有不理想的地方:
not near the center, not near the railway station, far from the bus stop, near the airport, noisy, shared kitchen, insects, a stranger in the next bed, have no privacy, have to prepare some repellant令人厌烦 ,insects haunting. 闹昆虫
电话询问看房子常用语:
Is it available now? when will it be available?.(audiy.com)
Is there a telephone? How far is it from…….? Is it furnished?
What is the rental price? How is it cooled /heated?
Furnished:意为配备了家具。
2.课外研究场景.
主要是在课外研究一些小的项目,小的调查研究,包括对学校里各个地方,食品(咖啡,小吃)等的价格的比较,这些看似不屑一顾的东西,个人认为,这也是与文化背景有关系的,外国人注重人的实践能力,从小培训。听时特别关注的是人名,并注意先判断男女,以及各自的观点。
素食者vegetarian,馅饼pie,布丁果冻pudding,汤soup,
咖啡coffee, 炸鱼和土豆片fish and chips, 油腻的greasy
有时候让受访者谈论value for money, 看值不值得花这个钱,又或者谈论某计划应否开展。
表支持的,同意的:
That’s great!/ That would be of great help./Why not?
It’s of great benefit./ It would be your best guide.
不同意的:

开场白经常由会议的president或者organizer进行自我介绍,然后介绍会议内容,还要介绍会议的会期多长,经常考的考点---这次是第几次会议。
要避免经典陷阱,即听力原文出现的并不是所需要的答案。
例1
听到:This is my third time of the annual retailers’convention. I’ve been here twice.
看到:How many conventions have already been held?
答案: 2
例2
听到:This is my second year on campus?
看到:How many years has he been studying at this college?
答案:One year
例3
听到:
A:When will you send the equipment?
B: Well , we’ve got a lot of work on at the moment.
A: Well,say 25 June?
B: Can’t we put it later?
A: The last date is July 1. Why not say that?
看到:send the equipment by __________
答案:July 1.
要牢记剑桥人经常使用“靠后原则”出题,即给出的多个数字中第一个通常不是答案。这点要与考点分清楚,如果出现陷阱词这个考点了,答案往往在陷阱词里就给出来了。
另外常考的是会议地点,一般是在国家的首都。
