【雅思备考】听力中的口语经：词汇（三）（上）
地道的习惯表达（idiomatic expressions）
在考官眼中，能拿口语高分的考生所掌握的词汇不光要比其他考生更加丰富，多变，而且表达也要更加“地道”才行。但是好多考生却被“地道的习惯表达”给吓跑，以为所谓“地道”，就是要记忆大量的俚语甚至方言，其实，考官指的这些习惯表达通常是看似不起眼的动词词组（phrasal verbs），说他们不起眼是因为，这些词组往往看起来简单至极，但因为它们一般不能按字面意思理解，所以组合在一起时往往让你一时摸不清意思。可是这些看似简单的习惯表达在雅思听力中却比比皆是，可见口语中老外会高频率地使用它们，那么接下来将和考生们一起向雅思听力取取经，选取常见的习惯表达，看看如何会让我们口语符合老外的口味，变得更加地道。
