【雅思備考】聽力中的口語經：詞彙（三）（上）
地道的習慣表達（idiomatic expressions）
在考官眼中，能拿口語高分的考生所掌握的詞彙不光要比其他考生更加豐富，多變，而且表達也要更加“地道”才行。但是好多考生卻被“地道的習慣表達”給嚇跑，以爲所謂“地道”，就是要記憶大量的俚語甚至方言，其實，考官指的這些習慣表達通常是看似不起眼的動詞詞組（phrasal verbs），說他們不起眼是因爲，這些詞組往往看起來簡單至極，但因爲它們一般不能按字面意思理解，所以組合在一起時往往讓你一時摸不清意思。可是這些看似簡單的習慣表達在雅思聽力中卻比比皆是，可見口語中老外會高頻率地使用它們，那麼接下來將和考生們一起向雅思聽力取取經，選取常見的習慣表達，看看如何會讓我們口語符合老外的口味，變得更加地道。
