很多烤鸭关注雅思词汇量的问题，那么雅思学习需要多少词汇呢?

　　如果要拿高分，何止是要掌握8000啊，1万都不够，不过要是只需要过6分，掌握5500个单词以上已经足够了。

　　总起来说，雅思有别于TOEFL、CET4、CET6等其他考试，需要掌握的单词很难量化，IELTS考试听力部分选用的文章都来自英语国家的日常生活，因此并没有绝对的词汇数字，尽管没有绝对的单词总数设定，但单词量绝对不是最大的问题，只要掌握3000个关键词汇，就可以应对考卷的大部分内容。不过对于这3000个词汇的掌握，不仅仅是听说读写，更重要的是知道怎样去掌握和使用它们(active words)，熟练掌握3000个词汇可能比简单背诵10000个单词更有用。

　　如下几个听力场景的重点词汇你都掌握了吗?

　　1. repair (section 1)

　　这个场景主要是购物或者租房子后发现有一些这样那样的问题，物体的型号、主要的问题、需要什么时间来修理、有没有质保、替换还是退款等都会是很重要的考点。雅思听力还是非常实用的，能让我们提前预习到在国外会碰到的场景，帮我们了解外国人处理一些事情的流程和规则。

　　What to repair:

　　fridge, refrigerator, washing machine, CD player, electric light, clock, bungalow, cooker, rice cooker, printer (shelf)

　　2. medicine (section 1)

　　这个场景每年都会进行几次考查，重点要明确各种关于医生、治疗、疾病、药物、手术、医院的英文表达方式，以及弄清楚西方国家的医疗体系和看病流程。比如说family doctor这个概念在中国几乎是不存在的，但是在西方的社区里非常普遍。怎样注册一个家庭医生，他们看病怎样收费等都是我们应该去了解的。在国外某些地区，如果没有注册家庭医生，很可能出现一些急症没有医生来看的情况。

　　在剑桥雅思中有出现过对比几家商店或者品牌的产品的优缺点，进而得出一个综合评价并给出买或不买的最终建议的听力场景。对于追逐时尚，喜欢购物的年轻一代而言，如果在购物上失分就比较不给力了，fighting!
