【启德考培】自从托福考试改版升级以来，虽然好像题量是减少了，但是似乎托福考试听力难度却更大了！听力部分想要获得高分也更难了！托福听力考点也是有迹可循的，所以今天小编就来给大家分享一下在听力中那些你一定要重点听的地方，重点之前都会出现一些特定的提示词，我们也称之为信号词。

一、主题

一般出现在讲座的开头，例如：

• Last time, we talked about ...

• Today, we will be discussing ...

• We’ve been talking about ...

• Today, let’s discuss ...

• Continuing ...

• Today, we will ...

但是要注意有些时候在点明主题之前会提到别的信息，只要记住“today”后的才是重点就行了。

二、定义

下定义也是讲座中常见的内容，被定义的概念是讲座的关键内容，需要做笔记！

• which is / that is

• in other words

• ...is referred to as

• ...is named/known/called

三、因果
