雅思听力满分经验谈
1．掌握做题思路
雅思的听力与四六级及托福的不同，你必须明确听的目的,比如说地点，名字，数字，关于X的形容词….。雅思听力的目的不是to catch every word,或明白整个段落的意思，而是去搜寻你所要的信息。有时候你整段材料都听得很明白了，也未必能写出答案。比如说空格处是填写关于课程对学生的要求（Student must..），开始听之前心里必须明确这一点， 并预测会出现哪些clue words, 如to complete this course, students should…/ there are three requirments…这样，听的时候可以抛开非信息点的内容，即使说话者语速加快也不会漏题。
2．找准Key Word
Key Word 是能帮你定位信息点的词，即这个Key Word会让你很快知道它后面的内容就是与答案有关。所以KW不一定是题目中的主语或谓语，只要它在听的时候易于辨别，能帮你在speaker的谈话内容中找到你的搜寻信息，你在看题时就应作记号。 3．猜题
根据空格前后的词，估计答案的类型，词性，单复数，甚至可以根据常识推断具体答案。如 Vitamins in food can be lost through__,估计：1. 名词或动名词 2. 一过程
猜题令你听的时候是以一种主动而非被动的态度去获取信息，这在section 3 or 4是很重要的，特别是说话者语速加快时。
4．注意答案细节 如单复数，大小写，单词拼写….好的习惯是在练习中养成的，只有平时练习时多加注意，考试紧张了才不至于―笔误‖。
第一次接触雅思听力，由于习惯性的英语听力方法，做题的效果不好。虽然我觉得自己一向的英语听力都挺好，但还是漏题或做错。上听力课不只是做模拟题，重要的是学习老师的方法，掌握思路。我来上课之前听CNN等新闻都没问题，但若没有掌握正确的思路和技巧，也是很难取得好成绩的。关于练习的书籍，我只用了剑桥的那三本，觉得练得精更重要，即做完之后要思考并总结为什么会做错，而不是简单的再听一次。词汇方面我觉得背词汇书帮助不大，除非是已到了最后冲刺阶段。平时多读英语报刊会更有用，因为听力较难的词汇也是跟平时生活和学习相关的，而且这样同时可提高阅读水平。
雅思口语观点:教育变化
Question:
What changes took place in education in your country over the past decade? 过去十年,你所在的国家教育发生了怎样的变化?
Answer:
Well, everything is changing, so is education.The most important change that took place over the past decade is this.
1. increased admission
It seems to me that more and more people are now able to go to college while in the past the competition was much stronger.College admission is opening up, and this is a direct result of the state policy.The consequence is that many students who have not reached the level of university education are also allowed to sit in the college classroom, therefore the quality of education has been declining. 2. master’s degree / overseas education
It is because this problem that an increasing number of people are pursuing more education after college graduation. These options include master’s program and possibly overseas education, just like what I’m doing right now. We’re fed up with the boring routine life in college, and we’re fighting for a better future for ourselves. 3. increased tuition
Unfortunately, not every child would have the opportunity to continue their education after college. Why? Simply because going to school is so costly.The tuition has been almost tripled over the past decade and this presented serious financial pressure that some families cannot handle. So some of my classmates have to drop out just because their families ran short of money. Human tragedy! I’m lucky. My mom and dad are making enough money, so I can even go to college in Canada. But I’m not taking this for granted, I’ll be eternally grateful to them. 4. Private training institution
Wherever there’s need, there’s a solution. As more families realized the importance of making education investment in their kids, training demands has been soaring over the past 10 years. Private training institutions such
as New Oriental flourished. So as long as you want you will always find a place to study and a class schedule that fits you. Opportunities for personal improvement are many. Question:
What change do you foresee in the next 50 years? 将来50年教育会发生什么变化? 如何答 ‖将来‖ 题目
Wow. 50 years is such a long time.I don’t even know if I will still be around in half a century’s time.So this question is kind of challenging.Nobody knows for sure what’s gonna happen in the future, right,because the future is unpredictable.But, let me try to answer this question.
1. Education will be a social welfare without any charges.
Maybe this is just a Utopian Dream. But I strongly believe, as our society moves forward, education will eventually become a social benefit. Families will not have to pay for education of the kids, because when the kids receive good education, the society will be benefited as it receives a continual wave of talents. It’s only fair that the society take out some of the tax revenue and use it on education for young people. Since tuition is no longer a problem, more and more people can finally all go to school. This is what I call ―educational equality‖.
2. Education will become less time-consuming.
One day I suddenly realized that each and everyone of us spend 20 years or so on education. 20 years! That’s crazy. Those years are probably the best time in our lives. So if you ask me what change do I want to see happen in 50 years time, I’d like to see education short. I believe education can become so efficient and well-designed that we can finish our education from ABC to master’s degree in just 10 years time. So by the time a person is 16, he or she will be ready to start living.
Education will become a technical evolution. 技术的进化
Maybe I’ve seen too many science fiction movies, but I believe science and technology will revolutionize the way we receive education. And this will happen during the next 50 years. You’ll see! We can put all the knowledge of human kind into little computer chips, and we can open a socket to our, I don’t know, brain. So every time we want to use a particular knowledge, we just plug it in, you know, like a USB disk. Wouldn’t that be cool?
3. Science and technology will make it possible for all countries to share education resources.
We often say that the world is flat now. What makes it flat? Science and technology, tele-communication, especially internet. So I wouldn’t be crazy to imagine that in the future 50 years, with the help of internet video conferencing, we can bring the image of a professor of Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, you name it, into the classrooms in China. Therefore, internationally famous professors and ideas can be shared globally.
雅思口语观点: 最适合的学习方式
Question:
What method of learning works best for you? 那种学习方式对你最有效? Answer:
1. Independent learning
The method that works best for me is independent study.The most important skill any student should learn in college is to learn by him/ herself.When you study independently, you don’t have to catch up with fast students and you don’t have to wait for slow students.You can totally control your own speed of learning.So learning efficiency is very high.You can enjoy academic freedom by choosing the subject that you’re interested in to learn.So you can be very absorbed in learning.And what’s more, you are always making new discoveries.Isn’t that exciting?And after you learn something without any outside help,the feeling of achievement is very strong. (114 Words)
2. Lecture class
When you go to a lecture class, you see a lot of new people,so your chances of making new friends increase.And since so many people are learning the same class,you know you’re in the right place because not all people are wrong.The most obvious advantage of a lecture class is that there’s a teacher.And this person is the engineer of the whole class.He or she has a clear objective in teaching and will improve the students learning efficiency by using a syllabus.So you find you learn very fast. (95 words)
3. Lab class / class trip
The primary purpose of learning is to use our knowledgeand to see our learning results in real life.So if you have a lab class or class trip,you can deepen your understanding of the new knowledge,you can consolidate such new information.When you do a lab experiment,you practice your theories and make sense of them.And when you go to a class trip,you can see the real figures in museums.Well, seeing is believing.This method makes learning more interesting and vivid. (87 words)
4.Seminar / discussion class
Seminars usually only have a limited number of people.So you can get the personal attention that you can’t get at a lecture.You can ask questions and answer questions.This is healthy academic interaction.And when you discuss or debate with a classmate,you can exchange ideas,communicate information,and share learning experience.It’s always a win-win situation.

雅思口语观点:电影删节法
Question:
Should films and television be censored or should we be free to choose what we see?
电影应该被删节/人们应该有自由选择想看什么 Answer:
I don’t think it’s necessary for all films and television programs to be censored.Why?Because I believe people should be given the freedom to choose what they want to see.I know,I know,some people think that’s not cool,because there’s much violence and sex in movies.
But, in my opinion, grown-ups,especially those who are well-educated can handle these scenes.Young children may be misled and mis-educated by such things, NOT adults.I strongly believe that what we need is a symbol or sign system to indicate what age group can see a particular movie. Such as PG 13, PG-18, and so on.And the cinema people should be responsible enough to refuse the entrance of any unsuited viewers to a movie.This could be a better solution than cutting many scenes out of a movie(141 words) Question:
How do you think censorship law will change in the next 20 years? 你认为电影删节法在将来20年会怎样变化? Answer:
I’m not a law major nor a movie critic,so this question may seem quite challenging to me.Yet, let me try to answer your question with a few guesses of mine.
I think censorship law is just like any law,it will become more citizen-friendly in 20 years time.I mean, the law will become more reasonable and scientific because we will have enough time to make amendment to it.And people will discuss it every year to make the law applicable.
But 20 years is a long time, and no one can say for sure what’s going to happen.Nowadays, everything is changing so fast.The only thing not changing is change itself.Future is unpredictable. And these are a just a few of my speculations. (128 words)
雅思口语观点:课余活动对教育的作用
Question:
What role do you think extracurricular activities play in education? 课余活动对教育起什么作用? Answer:
By participating in extracurricular activities, a person can expand his or her social circle. If you play basketball, you can meet people of other grades from other majors and you can become friends on and off court. So these after-class activities really help us to know more people.
If you are an activity organizer, you can develop many skills and abilities that you can never learn in a classroom. These techniques include public speaking ability, people skills, and organizational skills. These skills will continue to be beneficial to you after you graduate.
College is a place where we meet life, both academically and leisurely. Extracurricular activities show us
possibilities of entertainment. And if you participate in these activities, you can find a life-long hobby that you can enjoy for the rest of your life. I fell in love with basketball when I was in college, and it has been a constant pleasure in my spare time.
In a sense, doing extracurricular activities can change your personality. Maybe you’re an introvert person, and now you’re extrovert. We say personality decides your fate. See? Do you still deny that extracurricular activities play an positively important role in education? (193 words)
文章的性质决定了文章的结构。在《剑桥雅思》的前言中，关于阅读有这样一段话: “The passages are on topics of general interest. At least one text contains detailed logical argument.” 据笔者观察，所有雅思文章都可以分为两大类：介绍性的学术说明文和论辩性的学术论文。说明文只是对一个既定的事实进行客观介绍和陈述，不包含argument，教科书就属于这一类；而学术论文通常针对一个悬而未决的问题，进行论证，继而提出解决方案，其过程就是提出问题、分析问题、解决问题。在雅思考试中，这类文章分为两种：实验论证和逻辑论证。下面就依次介绍这几种文章的结构：
(一)介绍类学术说明文的结构
要判断文章类别，一般看标题就可以了。介绍类文章是对某事物或现象进行描述或介绍，所以标题一般为名词短语或者以How开头的疑问句。具体结构如下： -Introduce a phenomenon or a fact.
-Detailed Description:
Timeline/Different Aspects/Logic Development -Look into the future/Summary
无论什么文章，起始段总是引出主题，所以多用叙述描写性语言，或介绍现象，或陈述事实，或交代问题。
在介绍类说明文中，中间断落是对事物细节的展开描述，各种话题可以通过三种不同方式展开。第一类时间顺序，通常用于陈述一个历史事件，例如剑五中的“Johnson’s Dictionary”就是这一类。第二类并列或递进，从各个侧面来介绍，例如剑四中的“What Do Whales feel?”，一看标题就知道是介绍鲸鱼各个感官的，属于并列结构。第三类是逻辑顺序，据笔者统计，环境自然类文章多依照这种顺序，下文对此会作详细评述，这里不再赘言。 (二)论证类文章的结构 (1)实验类文章 -Introduce Experiment
-Pre-experiment (Subjects, Tools, Methods) -Experiment Process -Result (Collecting Data)
-Analyses and Syntheses
在雅思阅读中，实验类文章结构最为固定。笔者分析了“剑四”和“剑五”中所有实验类文章，发现其结构无一不遵循以上套路，这是因为实验报告的形式本来就单调。首段总是说明实验的缘起以及实验没目的，然后介绍实验前的准备工作包括器具，实验主体等，接着进入实验进程的描述，而后公布实验结果，最后综合数据得出结论。无论实验做什么，这个基本顺序是不会改变的。
(2)逻辑论证类结构 -Introduce the topic/problem
-Literature Review (Optional) -Present Causes/Reasons (optional) -Writer’s Approach -Supporting Evidences -Conclusions 这类文章从结构上讲更接近于论文。起始段导出议题，第二部分对议题进行文献综述，介绍已有的观点或探讨引发问题的原因，第三部分引入作者的判断以及相关分论点或论据，最后是结论。在雅思考试是中这类文章通常是比较难的。
3. 实战中的运用 下面结合题目具体说明结构阅读法的运用。 例一(“剑五”P16，Johnson’s Dictionary) 一看标题就知道是说明文，主题是介绍约翰逊博士的词典。然后阅读具体断落来套结构，注意一般只要看首尾句就可以了。第一段第一句”There had been concerns about the state of the English language.”交代背景，说明英语语言的问题，引出编词典的主题。第二段首句“there had, of course, been dictionaries in the past”介绍过去的字典，可知这篇文章的结构是按照时间顺序进行的。抓住这点，余下几段就容易分析了。依次往后，分别讲了编词典的必要性、编词典前的准备、编词典中的艰难、介绍工作成果、出版后的好评，约翰逊的感慨以及最后功成名就。抓住这个顺序，即使后面的T/F/NG题次序打乱，每道题也依然能够准确快速地定位了。限于篇幅，此处稍举几例。第9题“Johnson has become more well- known since his death.”这句和身后事有关，按照时间顺序肯定在最后一段找了。第10题“Johnson had been planning to writer a dictionary for several years”，按照时间顺序，这句应该去第四段找，因为那段讲的是编词典的准备阶段。 例二(“剑五”P20，Nature or Nurture) 首先通过首句可以判断是实验类文章。阅读各段首句，梳理结构：A段引出实验，说明实验目的。B段介绍实验前的准备工作。C段实验过程。D、E两段实验结果，F、G、H三段实验分析。最后一段
