【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】: 范例是两个学生在老师的帮助下,一起陈述他们所完成的一个报告。一般来讲presentation是每一位留学生必定会碰到的作业形式之一,它也是学生学期成绩的组成部分,因此非常重要。尤其是第一次presentation,因为第一次作业的质量会直接影响到老师对学生的印象。如果第一次能得到不错的分数的话,这将是一个良性的循环的象征。

【范例答案】: 1. Out and About

2. the campus/ university

3. B

以上提到的内容均属于雅思听力校园生活场景的重要部分。大学里一场2个小时的讲座可能是演说者一段时间,甚至毕生研究的高度浓缩,尤其对于专业领域的同学来说,可以起到指点迷津的作用;而一次1小时的课堂演说或课题探讨可以让自己的认知有一个新的高度!

另外,很多学术讲座对一些现实问题做出专家角度的剖析,引导学生,唤醒学生对于比如环境问题、社会性问题的思考。而这些相关的内容和话题也是我们能够在考试中遇到的。

因此,不管是哪一种形式,都是我们留学生涯的一道重要风景线。

当然,除了学习外,校园生活场景还包括:新生报到会,异乡留学所碰到的一些问题等等。

考点之二: 新生报到咨询

关键词汇: orientation, facilities, courses, school history, etc.

在实际校园生活中,新生报到日可谓是学生校园生活的崭新起点,报到日的活动更是每一位新生必要的经历。由于其主题正是与雅思考试听力部分偏“生存类”这一出题思路遥相呼应,因此这一场景在考试中“曝光率”相当之高!

新生报到会主要以介绍学校背景和特色进行展开,例如设施,课程设置等。另外,这种形式通常出现在section2并经常与校园地图题相结合!

分析认为,在考试中,“新生报道会”场景一般有以下四大特点:

新生报道首日的活动安排

学校场所设施及其功能介绍

校园课程咨询及介绍

去校园各个地方的路线图
