屠鸭之路——simon听力

说在前面

尽管国内宣扬有各大名师在雅思方面都各有建树，也有许多人因为那些老师的确就提高了很多分。但在我去年考雅思的时候，也有听过一些“著名”老师的课，比如顾家北、王陆、刘洪波之类的。恕我直言，貌似都不是我的菜。闲话实在太多。最让我诟病的莫过于视频里分享的资源不在一个平台里给你，反而还要你看各种直播，去新浪微博留言，微信公众号关注，转发推文集赞之类的。让我着实头疼了好一会儿。

记得去年考试之前无意中看到了simon的课，也不瞎说什么，仅从视频时长就让我喘了口气，比起国内老师3,4个小时一节的视频，他这15分钟左右一节的视频，的确让我这种急性子的人看得下去。看了之后发现其实挺简单粗暴的，毕竟是雅思前考官吧，分析题目起来的确会更加直接，因此找到了顺而找到了全套的视频：

• 雅思大作文
• 雅思小作文
• 雅思阅读
• 雅思听力
• 雅思口语

既然又要开始了，那就好好从头开始，然后这次就打算好好记录一下屠鸭之路吧。那首先，就先把笔记好好整理一下。所以，来了！
