七、Listening basics: entertainment

娱乐和放松的内容有很多，都跟个人的兴趣爱好有很大的关系。雅思的考点其实一直以来变化不大，只是会在现有考点的基础上进行细化和深入。例如：garden，museum，cinema这些考点已经变化为formal garden，royal/art museum，multi-screen cinema来进行考查了。

八、Listening basics: research methodology/methods

这一类单词所表达的内容理解起来并不难，但是由于国内的教育体系很少鼓励学生应用这样的研究调查方法，所以出国后具体操作起来会有很大的难度。好在很多学校都有这些方法的应用指导课，帮助不太熟悉这些方法的人了解其中的细节。建议烤鸭们在出国之前就应该通过网络等方式对这些方法的细节进行了解，尽最大可能降低在海外学习的不适应度，快速调整自己，跟上教师的授课和作业完成进度。
