雅思听力求职场景介绍:
一、场景介绍
这部分场景主要考查咨询一份full-time或者part-time的工作或者某公司的招聘信息。其实,无论以哪种背景形式出现,考查内容都非常贴近我们的真实生活,真正做到了原景再现。例如:考查应征岗位vacancy or position, 工作地点working place,公司名称(专有名词的考查),面试(interview),公司福利待遇(工资pay/salary/wage,养老金pension,假期holiday/vocation等)工作时间(working time/shift),部门(department/division),培训(training),职责或工作内容(responsibilities),着装(dressing)等等。
以剑8Test4Section1为例:
West Bay Hotel – details of job
Example Answer
Newspapaper advert for temporary staff
Vacancies for 1________
Two shifts
Can choose your 2 ____________ (must be the same each week)
Pay: £ 5.50 per hour, including a 3 ___________
A 4 ____________ is provided in the hotel
Total weekly pay: £ 231
Dress: a white shirt and 5 ___________ trousers (not supplied)
a 6 __________(supplied)
Starting date: 7 __________
Call Jane 8 __________(Service Manager) before 9 __________ tomorrow (Tel: 832009)
She’ll require a 10 __________
以上10道题中除了第2、4题之外,基本都是我们上文提及的背景知识中涵盖的内容,如:
Q1考查应征职位,同学们需牢记vacancy(空缺职位)这个单词;
Q 3考查工资中包含的内容;
Q 5-6考着装;
Q 7为工作开始日期(date的考查);
Q 8-10为面试细节信息。
而2、4题也相对较容易定位:Q 2问题“可以选择… ”your后面需加名词或名词词组,而且后面括号中特殊强调说明空格中的信息必须每周the same;Q4考查酒店可提供什么东西(A _____ is provided in the hotel)而上下文的Pay: £ 5.50 per hour和 Total weekly pay: £ 231 可帮助定位,同时本道题答案一定为可数名词。
考试中出现求职面试场景,多数不会有较难的单词和题目,同学们需要仔细把握好场景词汇和常考考点即可。
