【雅思培训】雅思Section 3 该怎么听？

一、      section 1 和 section 3 的辨析

严格意义上来讲，section 1是一个conversation，而section 3是一个discussion。这两个部分的说话方式有着很大的区别。前者是一问一答，后者是互问互答。

原创范例：

Conversation:（一问一答）

Tom: Are you going to go to Australia?

Mary: yes, but after taking the IELTS exam.

Discussion:（互问互答）

Tom: Are you going to go to Australia?

Mary: yes, have you been there before?

Tom: No, but I read a few books and magazines about the country. Why do you want to go there?

从上面的两个例子中我们可以看出，对话的问和答的对象都是相对固定的，但是讨论的问和答的对象却时时更换。这就需要考生看清卷面的题目，以免听错对象做错题。

二、      人称定位

通常情况下，雅思听力section 3的部分题目在卷面上会有人名或者是表示人身份的词出现，比如人名Jason, 教授Professor。因此，遇到此类题目时，考生最好用笔划出，明确此题目的说话人，这样才不会做错题目，才不会掉到考官给考生设置的陷阱里。

举例：

Cambridge 6 Test 1 Q21

What is Brian going to do before the cousre starts ?

 A attend a class

 B write a report

 C read a book

原文：

Tutor:    Hello. Can I help you?

Brian:    I was told to come here because I like to talk to someone about taking a management course.

Tutor:     right, I am one of the tutors, so I could help you.

Brian:   ok, my name is Brian; I have decided to enroll a part-time management curse. A friend of mine took one last year, and recommended to me.

Tutor:     right.

Brian:    Is there anything I should do before the course, like reading or anything?

Tutor:     we prefer to integrate reading with the course, so we don’t give out reading list in advance, but we like people to write a case study, describing an organization they know.

Brian:   I have already done that as my friend told me you wanted one. But would it be possible to sit around in teaching session to see what is like? I haven’t been a student for a quite while.

解析：本题的答案为A。在做这道题目时首先要把人名Brian划出，确定在课程开始之前是这个Brian要做什么。把人称定位好以后，在考生听题的时候，就要注意录音中Brian这个男生，凡是女生说的话我们都可以不做答案的参考内容。因此在录音中提到的reading,case study就不会形成干扰。同样地，在Cambridge 5 Test 2 Secton 3和 Test 4 Section 3, Cambridge7 Test 1 Section 3和 Test 3 Section 3等剑桥题目中存在着相同的特点。

三、      无人称定位

顾名思义，无人称定位是指在section 3中的卷面题目中没有指定的人称，通常是以两方或三方说话人讨论的主题点作为题目。应对此类题目的方法与做section 2和section 4 的方法类似——先寻找关键词，然后根据所划关键词找到答案。但是，在寻找答案的过程中，朗阁海外考试研究中心的专家提醒各位考生，要注意信息的确认与信息的对方更正。

举例：

Cambridge 7 Test 4 Questions 29-30

原文：

Julie:    We also need statistics on different things.

Trevor:  Literacy rates

Julie:    Yes, school places

Trevor:  how about the encyclopedia?

Julie:    not up-to-date enough!

Trevor:  why don’t we call the embassy?

Julie:    someone
