Research Question: Can babies remember any 1. …………….. ?
【範例原文】: We're going to look today at some experiments that have been done on memory in babies and young children. One of the first questions that we might ask is - do babies have any kind of episodic memory ... can they remember particular events? Obviously, we can't ask them, so how do we find out? Well, one experiment that's been used has produced some interesting results. It's quite simple and involves a baby, in its cot, a colourful mobile and a piece of string. It works like this. If you suspend the mobile above the cot and connect the baby's foot to it with the string the mobile will move every time the baby kicks. Now you can allow time for the baby to learn what happens and enjoy the activity. Then you remove the mobile for a time and re-introduce it some time from one to fourteen days later.
【範例分析】: 該課題是對於嬰幼兒記憶的研究和探討。其中涉及了較多的數據收集和獨立的研究結果。提醒考生，獨立學習的意識和能力是在海外求學期間要不斷督促並重點培養的理念之一，要學會獨立地、主動地進行研究，並不斷激發自己的創新意識。
【範例答案】: 1. (Particular) events
2. string
3. 14 days
Presentation
Presentation也是常見上課形式，即以演講的形式陳述所完成的報告。演講結束後，教師和同學給演講者寫出評議報告，演講者可根據評議報告修改自己的報告。
【典型範例】:
Complete the notes below.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
Circle the correct letters A-C.
【範例原文】: Tutor: Good morning everyone. Well I think we can start straightaway by getting Rosie and Mike to do their presentation. Would you like to start, Rosie?
Rosie: Yes, well, um, we've done a survey on local entertainment. Basically, we tried to find out how students feel about the entertainment in the town and how much they use it.
Mike: Yes, so we've called our project 'Out and About' ...
Tutor: Yes, that's a good title! 'Out and About'.
Rosie: We wanted to find out how well students use the entertainment facilities in town ... whether they get to see the latest plays, films ... that kind of thing.
Tutor: Now, we have our own facilities on campus of course ...
Rosie: Yes, we deliberately omitted those as we really wanted to examine outside entertainment in the town as opposed to on the university campus.
Mike: Actually there were a lot of areas to choose from but in the end we limited ourselves to looking at three general categories: cinema, theatre and music.
Tutor: Right.
Rosie: OK. Well, first of all cinema. In the town, there are three main places where you can see films. There's the new multi-screen cinema complex, the old Park cinema, and a late-night Odeon.
Mike: So if you look at this chart ... in terms of audience size, the multi-screen complex accounts for 75% of all cinema seats, the Park Cinema, accounts for 20% of seats and the late-night Odeon has just 5% of seats.
【範例分析】: 範例是兩個學生在老師的幫助下，一起陳述他們所完成的一個報告。一般來講presentation是每一位留學生必定會碰到的作業形式之一，它也是學生學期成績的組成部分，因此非常重要。尤其是第一次presentation，因爲第一次作業的質量會直接影響到老師對學生的印象。如果第一次能得到不錯的分數的話，這將是一個良性的循環的象徵。
【範例答案】: 1. Out and About
2. the campus/ university
3. B
以上提到的內容均屬於雅思聽力校園生活場景的.重要部分。大學裏一場2個小時的講座可能是演說者一段時間，甚至畢生研究的高度濃縮，尤其對於專業領域的同學來說，可以起到指點迷津的作用；而一次1小時的課堂演說或課題探討可以讓自己的認知有一個新的高度！
另外，很多學術講座對一些現實問題做出專家角度的剖析，引導學生，喚醒學生對於比如環境問題、社會性問題的思考。而這些相關的內容和話題也是我們能夠在考試中遇到的。
因此，不管是哪一種形式，都是我們留學生涯的一道重要風景線。
當然，除了學習外，校園生活場景還包括：新生報到會，異鄉留學所碰到的一些問題等等。
考點之二： 新生報到諮詢
關鍵詞匯： orientation, facilities, courses, school history, etc.
在實際校園生活中，新生報到日可謂是學生校園生活的嶄新起點，報到日的活動更是每一位新生必要的經歷。由於其主題正是與雅思考試聽力部分偏“生存類”這一出題思路遙相呼應，因此這一場景在考試中“曝光率”相當之高！
新生報到會主要以介紹學校背景和特色進行展開，例如設施，課程設置等。另外，這種形式通常出現在section2並經常與校園地圖題相結合！
分析認爲，在考試中，“新生報道會”場景一般有以下四大特點：
新生報道首日的活動安排
學校場所設施及其功能介紹
校園課程諮詢及介紹
去校園各個地方的路線圖
