住宿场景
这是一个典型的social survival situation,考的是一种很基本的生存技能。
常考特色词汇为:
accommodation,flat,apartment,bedroom, kitchen,furnished, stove, air-conditioning, stove, radiator, central air-conditioning, electric fans, furnished,rental price, available, near, far from, noisy, shared kitchen, no privacy,road , Street , lane 。
其中flat和apartment都是指一套房子,可能包含不止一见房间,所以each room 和整个flat或apartment是从属关系,经常会涉及到单复数的问题,这是一个经常出现的考点。
如Each room has an air-conditioning.而题目问题是How is the flat/apartment cooled? 答案应为By air-conditionings.
又如, There is a radiator in each room. 问题为 How is the flat heated? 答案为 radiators.
找房子的过程一般都是先看报纸的广告或是通过学校的介绍,先弄到尽可能详尽的资料,从中选出几个自己比较中意的,然后打电话询问并进行再次筛选,最后决定去看房子。
许多外国城市在周六晚上就可以买到周日的报纸。想租房子的人买到报纸,仔细研究一下,选出适合自己的房子,第二天一早便开使着手办理具体事情。
租房时的规律是,离市中心越近,房价越贵;位置如果稍偏僻一些,价钱会比较有吸引力。但便宜的房子一般都会有不理想的地方,如:not near the center , not near the railway station,far from the bus stop,near the airport,noisy, shared kitchen
,insects ,noisy,there is always a stranger in the next bed。
初步研究For rent 的广告后,就要打电话询问更加具体的情况。
如, Is it available now? 现在能否如住? When will it be available? 何时可以入住? Is there a telephone? 有电话吗?
How far is it from? 离有多远? Is it furnished? 房间配备家具吗? How is it cooled/heated? 怎样制冷/制热? What is the rental price? 房价多少钱?
制冷一般用air-conditioning,有的新式公寓还会有central air-conditioning。老房子一般用electric fans来制冷。electric stores,radiators来取暖。
租房时一般较高层的房子较贵,因为这样的房子噪音小,阳光充足,空气质量好,视野开阔上楼有电梯.所以如果一个租房者手头拮据的话,通常会租低层房屋,考生可根据此技巧预测答案.
furnished指配备家具,一般包括一个炉灶和厨房用品,桌椅板凳,一张窗,运气好的话还有床单和毛毯,其他的东西都要由自己来准备.所以千万不要把理解成为装修过的.有的店主还会要求 pets not allowed,禁止养宠物,这些在雅思听力考试中都经常出现.
房租如果是以dollar为单位,考生只须写$就可以,如 60dollars 写成$60就可以,省时省力.如果是pounds 写成£可以,如:£60。
雅思考试还常考到youth hostels ,hostel比hotel更便宜,一般有一间厨房,一间浴室和几间大卧室, 供客人共同使用,但缺点是要和陌生人一起使用浴室,厨房甚至住一间房,所以有些人喜欢清净的则不会考虑它.其优点是方便,便宜,有机会结识新朋友.
最后要确定的是房子的方位.这时常出现 Road,Street,其中Street常缩写St.,另外lane 也是经常出现表示 路 的单词,一般只小路和车道.交通是否方便是影响房价的重要因素。
常见词汇和短语:
near the bus station , far from school, 房子价钱:lease ,expensive ,cheap ,utilities,rental prices,学生没有钱,房子自然不理想. 如:noisy; wet; near the airport; far from the center; insects haunting; have to prepare some repellant;have no privacy .
