出國考試的種類較多，雅思作爲考試種類之一，有別於 TOEFL、CET4、CET6 等其他考試，需要掌握的單詞很難量化，IELTS 考試聽力部分選用的文章都來自英語國家的日常生活，因此並沒有絕對的單詞總數設定，而搞定關鍵詞就是我們備考的重中之重了。下面一起看看雅思8分的經驗總結吧!
Listening situation: social events (section 2)
雅思聽力 section 2 中經常會考到一些社會事件，比如說會議、展覽、節日等。參加這些社會活動就需要通過網站、單頁、通知版、廣告等來了解活動的信息、日程安排、主題等詳細信息。一些大型會議和活動學生是可以選擇參加的，而且還提供住宿和餐飲，一切都只需要在註冊的時候聲明並且繳納相應的費用即可。

Examples: Australian retailers’ convention, art exhibition, business conference, summer music festival, drama festival, travel exposition, world expo, cartoon exhibition, flower exhibition, auto show

這類單詞肯定是大家感覺到比較專業和難於掌握的，並不是需要同學們全部記憶下來，但起碼要做到對發音和中文意思比較敏感，這樣纔會對全文的聽力內容有一個較好的.把握。否則就好像是聽到了科普類文章一樣，茫然不知所措，進而導致完全放棄。
