校园课程介绍及咨询

和学校场所设施及功能介绍一样,校园课程介绍也是报到会上必不可少的内容。当然,有些学校在到各地招生的过程中也会介绍到学校课程及特色教育。其考点包括课程名称、课程设置、课程申请甚至课程与求职就业的联系等等。我们来看一个范例:

Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer.

范例中考点内容分别为:5. 课程名称  6. 时间长度  7-8. 课程等级  9. 测试内容

实战锦囊:场景衍生。除了学校选课,考试还会出现一些其他类型的课程介绍和选择场景。例如Cambridge 4 Test 3 Section 1 讲到further education,关于继续教育的课程选择及相关问题。

去校园各个地方的路线图

分析发现,地图题在现今考试中频频出现,这种题型在校园场景,旅游场景和科普场景中均有出现。而与其他场景下的地图题不同的是,在校园场景下的地图会涉及到相应和建筑物相关的校园场景词汇,例如,Study Hall, Dining Hall, Residence Hall, Bookstore等。如下图所示:

实战锦囊:该场景下的地图题所涉及到的校园场景词汇可以有效帮助大家在听题过程中更好地进行定位;同时能帮助缩小答案的预测范围。同样,掌握了校园类地图题,其他场景的地图题均可迎刃而解。

考点之三: 实际困难解决

在国外大学学习,肯定会碰到各种各样的问题,从学习到生活。因此,很多学校会邀请老师、领导或拥有一定大学生生活及人生发展等经验的学生做讲座。通常以解决新生生活、学习上的难题为目的,让新生了解大学这个陌生的环境,在他们生活上、心理上、树立人生目标上等给予一定的导航。

Cambridge5 Test3 Sction2对留学生在宿舍申请和语言学习两方面的常见问题和注意点进行展开:

Choose the correct letter, A B or C.

16.The speaker says international students at UK will be

A offered accommodation with local families.

B given special help by their lecturers.

C expected to work independently.

17.What does the speaker say about university accommodation on campus?

A Most places are given to undergraduates.

B No places are available for postgraduates with families.

C A limited number of places are available for new postgraduates

18. Students wishing to live off-campus should apply

A several months in advance.

B two or three weeks in advance.

C at the beginning of term

19. The university accommodation officer will

A send a list of agents for students to contact.

B contact accommodation agencies for students

C ensure that students have suitable accommodation.

20. With regard to their English, the speaker advises the students to

A tell their lecturers if they have problems understanding.

B have private English lessons when they arrive.

C practice their spoken English before they arrive

范例中16题对于留学生在异乡的环境变化提问,原文you will be in an environment where independent learning is the norm即可推断出答案为C;17-19均是围绕宿舍申请展开,主要提供给学生一些tips, 例如18题,如果想要申请学校宿舍那么必须尽早,原文中提到if you’re starting in October you need to be thinking about it in June or at the very latest July. 因此答案是A。

实战锦囊:分析认为,考点一般集中在讲述异乡留学所碰到的一些问题,比如学习方法、语言障碍、文化差异等等。其实像这样的场景内容,我们与其说是在备考雅思,不如说是在备考今后的留学生活。
