1、 住宿问题,恐怕是各位学生出国后考虑的第一个问题了。雅思听力考试既然强调场景的真实性,考题就免不了经常涉及本场景。本场景涉及的内容广泛,不但涉及租房,学校住宿问题,还可能包括房屋保险,搬家,房屋设备报修等等延伸内容。对词汇的把握,借助场景的贯穿,才能形成系统性,然后在考到本场景的时候,不但可以胸有成竹,还可以准确预测答案信息。现在,将本场景的词汇细分为:租房的时候,难免涉及些牵线人,如:“house agency 房产代理公司,house agent 房产代理人”;这些牵线人必然要联系“landlord(landlady)”;最后跟我们这些“tenant=lodger=renter=roome
2、r(美式)房客”谈论细节。住宿类型依各人经济及喜好而定,有住在学校“halls of residence 集体宿舍,student hostel 学生公寓,dormitory”;还有自己去外面租房子的:有经济能力并想快速提高英语的去“homestay 在当地居民家中住宿”;也可以租幢“house”来住,里面有“garden,courtyard,garage,swimming pool,fountain,balcony,en-suite facilities 全套设施(注意en suite的读音,来自法语,读法特殊)等等;还可以租套“flat=apartment公寓”或者“studio apar
3、tment 单身公寓”或者“bedsit 卧室兼起居室”来住;study 囊中羞涩点的租“single room 单人间,double room=twin room 双人间,triple room 三人间”也就凑合吧。房屋位置是我们租房子一定得考虑的问题,这将决定我们上学或工作的方便与否。那么,有的人喜欢风水论或者有看风景的偏好,就会要求位置在“east,west,south,north,southeast,southwest,northeast,northwest”为上;喜欢价钱便宜点,空气好的,最好住在“suburb=outskirts 郊区,countryside 郊外”;喜欢热闹,出行
4、方便点的最好选择 “city centre=downtown 市中心,urban area 市区”。交通和周围的环境也是决定租房意向的重要因素之一。关于这些,我们得掌握:Transportation交通设施:tube=underground=subway=metro,bus,minibus,medium-sized bus=midibus,coach,taxi=cab(taxi rank 的士车站),tram 电车,caravan 大篷车,ferry,express train 快速列车,shuttle bus,commuter train 通勤车,train,plane,four-wheel
