很多人关注雅思词汇量的问题，那么雅思学习需要多少词汇呢?如果要拿高分，何止是要掌握8000啊，1万都不行，不过要是只需要过6分，掌握5500个单词以上已经足够了。

　　总起来说，雅思有别于TOEFL、CET4、CET6等其他考试，需要掌握的单词很难量化，IELTS考试听力部分选用的文章都来自英语国家的日常生活，因此并没有的词汇数字，尽管没有的单词总数设定，但单词量不是的问题，只要掌握3000个关键词汇，就可以应对考卷的大部分内容。不过对于这3000个词汇的掌握，不仅仅是听说读写，更重要的是知道怎样去掌握和使用它们(active words)，熟练掌握3000个词汇可能比简单背诵10000个单词更有用。

　　如下几个听力场景的重点词汇你都掌握了吗?

　　1. social events (section 2)
