推荐雅思听力中的观点题在我们的课本中的题型总结中未被提及,但如果细看,会发现观点题在雅思 考试中也屡次出现,学生如果没有掌握解这类题的技巧,也很容易出错。观点题往往以选择题或打勾题的形式出现,要求考生对英文中表达观点的语言模式比较熟 悉。总的而言,在不同的场景中,英文表达支持、中立和反对的观点会出现两种模式:
(1)直接表述观点
这种形式考生比较容易辨认,因为人物的语言自始至终是保持同一论调,考生的第一印象判断和听完后文内容的判断是一致的,所以解题不容易错。我们举例来看看这种语言模式。
well, do you think people can tell you their real thoughts just through phone? without person-to-person contact, it is unlikely for you to dig deep into their minds and unlikely to get truth.
考生听到第一句话时,从语言的反问语气可以判断发言者的观点是不支持的——你认为人们会通过电话告诉你真实的想法吗?,第二句其实是对第一句话的解释——没有面对面的接触,你不太可能发掘他们的内心想法,不太可能知道真相,所以观点是反对的。
因 为大部分情况下,英文是首句中心句,段落其他部分是支持中心句的内容,所以听到首句就是主要意思,因此这种模式相对简单,但是考生也要能听出表示观点的 词,比如赞成(support, be for …,go for… be on the side of…, quite agree with…),中立( mutual, just so so, you can try it, not the best),反对( not good, be against…, not recommend…, better avoid …),喜欢(be favor of, like, prefer),一般态度(it’s ok, but…),不喜欢(dislike),必须( must, it is necessary…),依情况而定( it depends),没必要( not necessary),等等。
(2)间接表述观点
有的时候,发言者为了充分地表达自己的观点,或者为了使自己的观点显得不偏激,会很委婉地表述观点。比如:
well, i don’t think you should start with the case study too early unless you have made full preparation or you might find you can’t meet the deadline. however, it really is the best approach you can try to get people’s response though it is somewhat time-consuming. if you think you can spare your study time, just go for it.
由 于第一句话出现don’t think,所以很多考生会潜意识将主体判为否定的观点。然而,转折词however出现以后,要特别小心,因为意思上会有大的转变,这里的it really is the best approach就是很大的一个转折,说明发言的人是持支持的态度的。此外,最后一句话是总结性的观点,一句just go for it非常清楚地再次表示其支持观点。
因此,在听观点题时不要被第一印象影响,一定要听 后面的话是否有转折词,如果有,那第一印象是不准的,转折词后的内容才是判断的依据。有些情况在最后还会有总结性的表示观点的语言,那么中心意思应该在总 结语言里。所以,当听到表转折的词,如however, but, nevertheless和表示总结的词,如so,那么真实的观点应在这些词之后。
以下举几个直接和间接表达观点的例子,以加深对此类题型的理解。
直接观点表达:
another hazard for your back are the shock waves which travel up your spine when you walk, known as heel strike. a real find for our patients has been the shock-absorbing shoe insert. a cheap but very effective solution.——支持
finally, a word about the state-of-the-art relief- the tens machine-a small battery-powered gadget which delivers subliminal electrical pulses to the skin. our experience indicates that your money is better spent on the more old-fashioned remedies.——反对
it can be useful to get special orthopaedic chairs, but remember the most important improvement should be in our posture.——中立
though absolutely flat shoes can be a solution for some, others find their posture suffers——中立
间接观点表达:
through observation study, you can just watch and take notes. and you can get some unforeseeable results from people’s behavior, but it can only cover certain aspects. therefore, you need other research method to assist it. but you can try if you want.——中立
well, i think questionnaires are very good at telling you how people fill in questionnaires, but they tell you very little else. so better avoid it.——反对
face-to-face interview can help you get people’s facial expressions and body language, through which you can identify what they genuinely have in mind. but it depends sometimes. not everyone is willing to open his or her mind to you. ——中立选自

1、在雅思听力考试时录音放的太快,有好多听不清楚、听不懂、我都来不及做题
解 答:考生英语水平低、基础薄弱、以及不正确的听力练习方法和手段是产生这些问题的主要原因,首先要提高自身的英语水平,增加词汇量,设想一个单词你根本就 不认识,又如何能指望听得懂呢?其次最为关键的是即使考生听清楚了、听懂了,却没有记住细节,答案照样是写不下来的。雅思考试不是listen to 答案,而是listen for答案。所以要多做听写练习,提高听写的质与量。
2、我以前上大学时学的美音,而雅思听力考试又以英音、澳音为主,怎么练习?
解 答:最好的练习方法是多听一些英语广播节目,熟悉各种语音语调。如:bbc world service,canadian broadcasting,english club,radio australia,voice of america,note taking at university等。
3、我平时做练习和模拟考试都做的挺好的,为什么一到考试的时候就紧张
解答:心理原因在雅思考试当中是不容忽视的,紧张、注意力不集中、疲倦等对听力考试都有很大的影响。好多考生在模拟考试和实际考试时会出现1到2分的落差这种心理失误一开始就应该引以为戒。
4、如何针对雅思听力考试的特点来进行听力练习?
解 答:精听泛听相结合。精听最好能把典型场景全部精听下来,因为这些都是雅思听力考试的代表性内容,最好能做到跟上原文速度复述下来。泛听即广泛的听,因为 雅思听力考试是国际化的考试,所覆盖的内容广泛,但主要考察的是考生在国外如英国、澳洲生活学习的能力,所以多找一些相关的材料来听会对考试很有帮助的, 如原文电影等。
5、要想在雅思听力考试中取得高分要具备什么条件
解答:良好的语言水平+适当的背景知识+稳定的心理素质+熟练的解题技巧
6、雅思听力考试的题目有重复的吗?
解 答:与其他几种英语考试相比,ielts考试的一个特点就是试卷重复使用。该考试的听、读、写部分不断有新的试题出笼,同时也有旧的试题被淘汰。目前有几 十套试题(version)在使用,每次考试用不同的组合方式以尽量避免大规模重复。即使如此,仍有考生因第一次考试未达到所要求的分数而再次参加考试时 遇到做过的version。
7、大学公共英语四/六级考试听力部分和雅思听力考试有什么区别
解 答:国内的大学公共英语四/六级考试命题思路,基本上是借鉴美国的托福考试,以考察英语语言本身为主。更注重语言知识点,而非实际语言运用。顺利通过四, 六级,并不意味着能顺利通过雅思。同托福系统相比,雅思考试系统更注重实际语言运用能力,雅思考的是语言之外的信息,这就要求考生不仅要拥有扎实的语言基 本功,还要有灵活实际的语言运用能力。51ielts.com
8、雅思听力考试大概需要多少词汇量
解 答: ielts听力有别于toefl、cet4、cet6等其他考试,需要掌握的单词很难量化,ielts考试听力部分选用的文章都来自英语国家的日常生活, 因此并没有绝对的词汇数字,尽管没有绝对的单词总数设定,但单词量绝对不是最大的问题,只要掌握3000个词汇,就可以应对考卷的大部分内容。不过对于这 3000个词汇的掌握,不仅仅是听说读写,更重要的是知道如何去掌握和使用它们(active words),熟练掌握3000个词汇可能比简单背诵10000个单词更有用。
9、我上次考试只考了5分,可我需要6分的成绩,短时间内有可能提高一个等级吗?
解答:作为雅思考试主要命题单位之一的澳大利亚高校国际开发署(idp education australia)曾言,有计划地准备雅思,一般三个月成绩可提高一分,这可以作为备考雅思的一个参考。

英国大使馆文化教育处将在两年之内应考生的要求将成绩报告寄往考生指定的地方。换言之,考试部 门认为成绩有效期为两年。但是考虑到考生所申请的院校,机构或使馆对成绩有效期的具体要求各有不同,考生需要和学校或者机构等接收雅思成绩的机构直接联 系,以确保雅思成绩符合要求。
雅思考试成绩分数
雅思考试的各个分项成绩和总成绩均由0分到9分,包括整分及半分,但不设及格分。各个认可雅思成绩的院校,机构或使馆会自行设定对考生的最低分数要求。
雅思考试成绩有效期
在雅思成绩的有效期内,考生不可以用任何办法取消自己的考试成绩,但是可以选择不使用该次的雅思成绩进行申请。
每一次的雅思成绩都是独立的,所以考生可以选择雅思成绩有效期内自己最满意的一次雅思考试成绩使用。
一、学费
艺术专业除了和其他专业有公共共同课以外,许多专业都有STUDIO PRACTICE的课程,也就是一对一的专业授课(多见于油画,音乐专业)。这些课程的学费已包含在正式课程学费里。
艺 术设计,一般来说,在两年制专业的公立艺术大专院校里就读,一年的学费在1.2-1.5万加币左右,如加拿大最大的公立艺术大专学院谢里丹学院 (SheridanInstitute)。其次,四年制专业大学,如安省设计学院(OCAD),一年的学费约15920加币(折合约10万人民币)。
音乐,在两年制的社区学院就读,一年的学费约1.2-1.5万加币。四年制大学,如英属哥伦比亚大学,学费约22000-26000加币/年(折合人民币约 13-16万人民币)。在线咨询
二、住宿及膳食费
每年约需8500加币(折合约53550人民币)
三、医疗保险费
加拿大的院校要求国际留学生一定要买保险,保险费由600-900加币不等(折合约3780人民币至5670人民币)
综上所述,加拿大一年的艺术类院校的留学费用约在18-20万人民币左右,学生和家长应提前做好规划。
一、可以选择一个能以最低的费用为你提供高质量教育的大学。加拿大的教育资源比较丰富,分布均衡,所以,并不是每一所好大学都在一线城市。有些很不错的大学位于加拿大的二、三线城市。而二、三线城市的生活费比起一线城市会便宜很多。
二、缩短完成本科所需的耗时。这其中有很多途径,比如说,每学期都比其他学生多修一门课;如果学校开设Summer Program(暑期课程),利用暑期课程多修几个学分。
三、申请学分减免。如果你在国内已经上过一段时间的大学,或者在国内上的不是普通高中而是Alevel或者是加拿大BC省的高中课程,那么你进入加拿大大学读本科之前,可以申请学分减免,就可以节省修这些学分所要支出的学费及生活费。
四、选择大一、大二两年课程在当地的一所公立学院或者社区学院完成,后两年转到一所四年制大学完成学位。因为公立学院的学费要比四年制大学低廉得多,这样做不仅可以拿到你心仪大学的文凭而且可以省下很大一笔学费。
五、争取奖学金。加拿大的奖学金有进门奖学金和绩效奖学金之分。这样,学校才能根据你优秀的学术能力和社会能力等,提供你部分或者是全额奖学金。而所谓绩效奖学金,就是根据你在大学第一年的成绩来评判的。
六、节省住宿费。住宿费占学生加拿大生活费的很大比重。一般学校提供给国际留学生的校内住宿另不仅有限而且很贵。那么这里有个小窍门,你可以申请担任学校的宿舍助理(RA),可以得到一个免费的房间、适当的薪资以及用餐计划。
七、勤工俭学。加拿大移民局允许非语言阶段的学生在读期间进行适当合理的打工。每周不能超过20小时。
选择一个能以最低的费用为你提供高质量教育的大学
加拿大的教育资源比较丰富,分布均衡,所以,并不是每一所好大学都在一线城市。有些很不错的大学位于加拿大的二、三线城市。而二、三线城市的生活费比起一线城市会便宜很多,这样即能读到好大学,感受加拿大出众的高等教育,又可以省下一定比例的生活费的开销。
申 请学分减免。如果你在国内已经上过一段时间的大学,或者在国内上的不是普通高中而是a level或者是加拿大bc省的高中课程,那么你进入读本科之前,可以申请学分减免。如果学分成功地被减免或者被部分减免,那么你就可以节省修这些学分所 要支出的学费,同时可以缩短在加拿大读本科的时间,从而节省生活费。
争取奖学金
加 拿大的奖学金有进门奖学金和绩效奖学金之分。想申请进门奖学金的话,那你在入读大学之前的高中成绩就应该很出众。这样,学校才能根据你优秀的学术能力和社 会能力等,提供你部分或者是全额奖学金。而所谓绩效奖学金,就是根据你在大学第一年的成绩来评判的。一些大学对一些优秀学生免除部分学费。出众的学习成绩 可以给你省不少钱。
转学分学院
因为公立学院的学费要比四年制大学低廉得多,而且大多数公立学院的学分也都能被众多四年制大学所承认,从学院积累一定学分以后转到你最终想毕业的大学,这样做不仅可以拿到你心仪大学的文凭而且可以省下很大一笔学费。
缩短完成本科所需的耗时
这其中有很多途径,比如说,每学期都比其他学生多修一门课;如果学校开设summer program(暑期课程),利用暑期课程多修几个学分。
节省住宿费住 宿费占学生加拿大生活费的很大比重。一般学校提供给国际留学生的校内住宿不仅有限而且很贵。那么这里有个小窍门,你可以申请担任学校的宿舍助理。宿舍助理 是协助在校住宿学生解决实际住宿困难的这么一个职务。往往由有意愿为他人服务的在校学生担任。住宿的其他学生在居住期间遇到任何问题,第一时间求助的就是 宿舍助理。作为回报,宿舍助理可以得到一个免费的房间、适当的薪资以及用餐计划。
学费
加拿大大学,商科专业在第一年多数都不开设专业课,会在大学的文理学院内学习前期的基础课程,达到商学院所需成绩后,在第二年开始学习商科专业课程。
这种学习模式就导致了留学费用的差异。大一阶段没有专业课的学习,因此,学费差别不大,不同大学,学费在1.2万-1.8万加币之间,从大三阶段,学费上涨,一年的学费在3万加币以上。
生活费
生 活费用也是加拿大留学费用中的很大一笔支出。在加拿大,不同城市消费水平不同,因此生活费用也会有差异。一般情况下,中心大城市的 消费水平,要比中小城市的高。另外,留学生选择不同的住宿类型,住宿费用也会有较大差异。一般情况下,与同学在校外租房,要比校内宿舍和寄宿家庭便宜。
一、大学四年本科学士学位
一 般来说,加拿大大学的研究生院要求申请者具有正规大学四年制本科学士学位,或至少已读完大四第一学期,并提供能在当年取得毕业证书及学位证书的证明。在对 申请人学历的审核中,研究生院不仅会考察申请人是否具有学士学位,而且会对申请人毕业的院校进行审查。学校的考察主要根据一本在加拿大出版的关于中国大学 的书,里面有中国各个大学的详细介绍。
二、申请的硕士专业与本科专业相一致或相关
申 请加拿大的硕士专业一般需要申请人具有相关本科背景,也就是说对于有学士学位的申请人来说,不是什么硕士专业都可以申请的,除了工商管理硕士(MBA) 外,几乎所有的加拿大硕士专业均要求申请人是同一本科专业毕业。而且,对于一些特殊专业,即使申请人具有本科专业背景,也不一定被录取。如法律、会计、医 学等。
三、大学后两年的专业课平均成绩非常优秀
作 为由省政府资助的公立大学,加拿大的大学基本上分为三大类:第一类是“医学博士类”(Medical & Doctorial),即专业齐全,以研究为主的综合性大学,如多伦多大学;第二类是“综合类”(Comprehensive),即有一些硕士及博士专 业,但可能没有医学院或部分博士专业。
四、取得相关国际英文考试成绩
上文已经提及,加拿大的硕士一般只要求申请人有TOEFL或IELTS或其他英文考试如MELAB、CanTest成绩,GRE只有部分学校的理工类专业需要,当然对于申请MBA的学生来说,GMAT也是必需的。所以在申请前一定要先了解申请学校的要求,做到有的放矢。
五、真实反映自我的申请文书
硕 士申请的另一个比较重要的环节是申请文书的准备。申请文书包括个人简历、2-3封推荐信、个人陈述(Personal Statement or Letter of Intent)。这些申请文书在申请时同申请人的GPA一样重要,研究生院的注册组会从这些文件中判断申请人在成绩单之外是否有潜质继续这一领域的研究。
