1. social events (section 2)
会议、展览、节日等社会事件是在雅思听力section2经常考到的主题。在国外学生们经常会参加一些大型会议和活动，他们会从网页、单页、通知版和广告上了解活动的主题、日程安排、是否提供住宿餐饮等具体信息

2. environment (section 2/4)
由于环境类词汇专业性较强，不要求大家全部记忆下来，但雅思听力在词汇方面最重要的一点是能做到到对发音和中文意思比较敏感，这样即使不能听懂全部内容，也能对整体脉络有一个较好的把握。否则就好像是听到了科普类文章一样，茫然不知所措，进而导致完全放弃。

3. repair (section 1)
这个场景主要是购物或者租房子后发现有一些这样那样的问题，物体的型号、主要的问题、需要什么时间来修理、有没有质保、替换还是退款等都会是很重要的考点。雅思听力还是非常实用的，能让我们提前预习到在国外会碰到的场景，帮我们了解外国人处理一些事情的流程和规则。

饮食和健康不但是现在人们越来越关心的问题，也会是雅思听力考试中永恒不变的主题。在Section 4 中经常出现关于健康饮食和生活方式的探讨。与此同时，听力中关于一些疾病的原因和治疗也都跟此有着密切的联系。我想Heart disease, chronic illness, diabetes, obesity，high blood pressure等疾病大家已经并不陌生了。
