雅思备考口语进阶 Day 1：Home/Accommodation 家和住所

我即将参加12月15日的雅思考试，一次考试2070元，就为了这么些血汗钱，我也得好好准备啊！开一份文集记录自己的备考历程和备考经验，希望屏幕前的烤鸭们也能看得开心，和我一起走过这一心路历程。如果能在这个世界上，找到一样经受着雅思考试折磨的一个灵魂，说着只有烤鸭能听得懂的语言，我想你也会展露出会心一笑吧~

先说说我的悲惨口语考试经历，让大家乐一乐：

第一次考试，阅读/听力满分或接近满分，口语5.5

第二次考试，阅读/听力满分或接近满分，口语6.5

第三次考试，阅读/听力满分或接近满分，口语6.5

额，这是什么神一般的7分难破预言，这次，我一定要打破这个诅咒，大陆上的几百万烤鸭啊，给我力量吧！

再说说曾经试过的策略：

1. 看预测，不说，然后5.5 

2. 看预测，也每天练了1小时，坚持1个月，6.5

然后就没有然后了...

这一次的策略是提高自己的用词准确度和广泛度，所以我从剑桥真题8听力原文中摘录出的可以用在口语里的很多相关表达，并且在平时练习时就试着用上，争取在用词和连贯2个方面提分~

以下为和住所相关的地道表达：
