以上就是關于雅思聽力高頻詞匯中30個常用短語的全部信息，包括了漢語解釋。大家可以在備考雅思聽力詞匯的時候?qū)@些短語進行適當?shù)挠洃?，以便更好的應對在雅思聽力考試中出現(xiàn)的相關場景。 雅思聽力詞匯主要集中在哪些生活場景?
生活場景(Survival Context)中，咨詢(Counseling)，租房(Renting)，旅游(Travelling)，文化(Culture and Tradition)，銀行(Banking)，購物(Shopping)，會場(Conference)，看病(Doctor‘s)和地圖(Map)為九大基本場景。
其中，租房和旅游劇情最為老套雅思聽力詞匯場景。一如韓劇：男主角只要不幸必定失憶，女主角只要得病不是癌癥就是白血病;雅思聽力只要是Renting，必定不離租金(rent)和設施(facilities)，只要是Travelling，就跟線路價格(tour price)和交通工具(transportation)脫不了干系。
而后，文化場景是ESOL不定期推出的英吉利文化大餐，內(nèi)容涵蓋古香古色的老建筑(historic architecture)，別具一格的小村鎮(zhèn)(towns and villages)，妙趣橫生的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日(festivals)，救苦救難的慈善機構(gòu)(charity)，自得其樂的足球俱樂部(football club)。
另外，銀行，會場，購物和看病等非主流這類型的雅思聽力詞匯所專用的場景也會及時出現(xiàn)，填補檔期空白。他們各有賣點：銀行里賬戶各色明目(bank account);開會前議程小心安排(schedule and agenda);購物時顧客精心挑選，店員殷勤推銷(goods and services)，看病中患者鼻青臉腫(symptom)，醫(yī)生妙手回春(therapy)。
咨詢和地圖場景最近大熱。其中地圖 08年9月份連續(xù)在6日和18日出現(xiàn)，氣勢洶洶，內(nèi)容分別是校園(campus)和碼頭(port)布局，保持一貫風格，但無甚大新意。反觀咨詢場景，不但主題新穎，而且情節(jié)跌宕，從保險索賠(insurance claim)，到轉(zhuǎn)學申請(school transfer)，再到場館訂票(booking)，不一而足。
應該說，ESOL導演的雅思聽力詞匯所涉及的場景是繁多的，但總有桎梏。無論是嶄新的場景，還是老掉牙的場景，四大要素是必不少的，就是人物，時間，地點和事件：
人物即是人名(name)，稱謂(title)，和身份(identity e.g. tenant & landlord， customer &receptionist， patient & doctor);時間即是日期(date)，星期(day)，和時點(time);地點體現(xiàn)在地址(address)，會址(site)， 和目的地(destination)。
事件表現(xiàn)為各種橋段，如護照延期(passport extension)，飲食偏好(dietary preference e.g. vegetarian)之于租房場景;住宿選擇(accommodation option)，熱門景點(landmark e.g. Stonehenge)之于旅游場景;傳統(tǒng)活動(traditional activities)，文化特色(cultural identity)之于文化場景;賬戶選擇(opening an account)之于銀行場景;商品特點(commodity features) 之于購物場景;開具處方(prescription)之于看病場景;方位辨認(orientation)之于地圖場。
