攻破雅思考试中高频词汇的方法

Listening situations: student survey about business organizations, Placement of company 在商业社会中，大型的经营状况牵动着世界经济以及每个人的神经。雷曼兄弟的破产直接导致了次贷危机。朗阁海外考试研究中心分析发现，雅思听力中从案例分析，企业文化，企业构架，以及企业人事的探讨。除此以外，这类场景还能帮助广大考生了解国外的商业文化，用人要求以及确定自己将来的就业目标，所以广大烤鸭要对这类单词多加注意了！ Company, corporation, firm, business organization Marketing, advertising, financial problem, administration, products,packaging, online shopping, import, export, domestic market, international market, producer, manufacturer, brand loyalty (children) Sales: new product, promotion, discount, concession, on sale, half price, normal price, 50% off, bargain Finance: money, loan, low-interest, no-interest, fund, investment, capital, debt, bankrupt, bankruptcy, good value, profit, profitable Personnel: manager, business executives, board of directors, employers, employees, senior managers, engineers, designer, merchandiser, technician, accountants Quotation and enquiry

Listening situations: travel 现代社会生活节奏非常快，人们的压力也越来越大，越来越多的人选择在节假日去旅游来彻底放松自己。巧合的是，雅思听力也一直把旅游作为一个重点考察的场景，出现频率非常高，平均两三次考试就会出现对这一场景的考查。近来雅思也越来越多的考查一些新鲜的概念，比如wreck diving 就是关于沉船的。在实际教学中，我都会告诉学生，出国留学当然要以学业有成作为第一目标，除此以外，我还会告诉他们不要浪费了这个能到处走走，体验不同种族，文化和生活习惯的机会，这必将对今后的生活和就业带来非常积极的影响。同时，这个场景牵扯到的细节非常多，包括旅行前的准备，所带物品，文件证件以及交通方式等，需要广大烤鸭们特别小心。 Types: trip, outing, excursion, tour, journey, voyage, package tour, inclusive holiday, economical travel Scenery: scene, main attraction, resort, sight, view, place of interest Interesting places: temple, gallery, museum, rainforest, cave, town, tribe, park, waterfalls, jungle, sea view, farm travel, maritime museum, aquarium feature: scuba diving, wreck diving, bush walking, parachuting, fungi tour, four-wheel drive, crocodile cruise，package tour, excursion, walking tour, surfing，snowboarding transportation: bus, train, express train, subway, tube, tram, ferry, sailing boat, metro, shuttle, coach, taxi, cab, motorbike, bicycle, plane, airline, flight, by air (N.B. donkeys, camels, mule, horse), hire car tickets: one way /single, round / return, first-class ticket, economyticket, ticket reservation, family ticket, discounted ticket, weekend bus tickets What to bring (clothing): sweater, raincoat, windproof coat, trousers, boots, socks, trainers, uniforms, spare socks, sunhat What to bring (medicine): antibiotics, penicillin, aspirin, painkillers, sleeping pills, sun cream (sun total block) Where to stay: hotel, hostel, motel, hotel rooms (en suite), car park What to buy: souvenir, gifts, local history books, handicraft, antique, painting, fruit (apple, tomato, cucumber, figs, pineapple, passion fruit), bottled water (no minerals), drinks Personal interest: weather, food, natural environment, culture, art, exhibition, rare fish, coral roof, rock pool, free balloon ride customs inspections: luggage, baggage, labels  Listening situations: sports and fitness Sports and playing venues: soccer, football (pitch) badminton, squash, basketball, volleyball, tennis (court) aerobics (fitness centre, gym, gymnasium) yoga (yoga hall) table tennis (table tennis table, table tennis hall) ice skating (ice rink) ice curling (sheet, house) martial arts: judo, karate, boxing, kick boxing, shadow boxing, wrestling (hall) weight training, weight lifting, stretching exercises (warming up to prevent injuries) sports professionals athletes, sportsman, sportswoman, sports players, sports competitors, sports instructors, sports psychologist, sports administrator, coach, head coach, referee, sport club, chairman, president sports games/matches: score, scoring, teams, junior team, senior team, win/lose the game, sports prizes, presentation of awards, sports equipment Fitness center membership: annual fee, fitness card (gold, off-peak gold, silver, bronze), health check (assessment)
