雅思高分无极限，看我地道说口语

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，那么接下来朗阁海外考试研究中心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。
