本文的下篇为考生总结了:医疗、图书馆、找工作和购物,这四种雅思听力场景的词汇。
一、 listening situation: medicine (section 1 )
这个场景基本上每年都会进行考察,而考察的重点就是要考生明确了解各种关于医生、治疗、疾病、部分药物、手术、医院等的英语表达方式,并且希望考生弄清楚西方的医疗体系和诊断病情的流程,例如说family doctor这个概念在中基本是不存在的,但是在西方确实很普遍的。那么如何注册一个family doctor,他们看病如何进行收费也是考生需要有基本了解的。在外某些地区,假如没有注册的family doctor,那么很有可能会出现一些急症却没有医生进行紧急拯救的情况。
