在漫長的30分鐘四級聽力中，最怕的就是撿了芝麻，丟了西瓜。最重要的信息經常會因為一時疏忽而丟掉分數。因此英語口語培訓中心的老師提醒，在四、六級聽力中，一定要抓住以下這七類關鍵詞！
一、轉折性詞彙
學會聽轉折詞彙，如yet, however, though, whereas, unfortunately, unexpectedly, instead, rather than, other than, to be frank, frankly speaking, to tell you the truth,etc.
二、邏輯類詞彙
表原因：because, because of, for, as, due to, owing to, in that, now that, according to；
表結果：therefore, so, as a result, consequently, eventually;
表遞進：apart from, in addition, furthermore, what's more, moreover,etc.
三、最高級詞彙
形容詞和副詞的最高級最需要關注，如most importantly, the most popular... the biggest of...
四、事實羅列詞彙
在諸如actually, in fact, as a matter of fact,etc.這些詞彙後可能是關鍵的考點
五、序數詞
如the first, firstly and finally
六、情態動詞
如sb.has got to, can , could, may, might, need,should, ought to,etc
七、重要形容詞
表示重要的詞本身就很重要呢，如important, crucial, chief,major,significant, the only, unique, essential, necessary, vital, etc.
