有多少人还有超级玛丽或者魂斗罗的拼杀记忆，有多少人曾无比迷恋皮卡丘龙戏珠，有多少人还会有天天在疯狂单车比赛，还有多少人会爬树，还有多少人把儿时的爱好带到了成年，并把它变成了职业？

1. 小小科学探险 Our own little science expedition.

When I was a kid, we used to go creek slogging all the time. My buddies and I would pick an entry point, slip down the banks into the creek, and follow it as far as we could. We'd examine everything we found along the way, from tires to tadpoles, and discuss it at length. In the summer, we'd walk through nearly-dry creek beds and through the blackberry brambles to find the few deep pools left after the rain stopped. In the rainy season, we'd be scrambling along rocks and around tree roots to avoid the swift, muddy water and one of us would invariably fall in and be wet to his navel (or hers).

When we got back, our pants and shoes and socks would be covered in black muck, algae, and clay, so we'd strip down to our underpants and leave our soggy clothes in a heap at the front door. We'd huddle around the table bare-legged, and we'd take turns looking up the bugs we found in the bug book, the fish in the fish book, and everything else in the encyclopedia or one of my dad's plant books. We'd debate over the particular kind of flies, duckweed, etc., argue over whether it's "crayfish" or "crawdad".

2.爬树 Climbing trees.

When I was little we used to lived in a house with a big backyard and many tall trees, and I did climb all of them, and not just the ones in my house, also the ones in the park, in my neighborhood, at the school or any other place that had big trees, monkey was my middle name.

My Grandmother lived near to our place, so she was our official babysitter. I knew, see me heading to the backyard made her nervous, but she never stop me, although I caught her a couple times spying through the window, I guess she just wanted to make sure I was still in one piece.

My reward ? Conquered the top of each tree and sit in one of the branches, looked at the shapes of the leaves, the stalk, the sound of the wind when it touches the branches, the way how it moved them almost like a dance, the view, how the other trees looks from there, I loved to feel the breeze in my face playing with my hair making it tousled, and I wasn’t climbing alone, must the time I would carry some of my dearest favorite stuff animals or toys, so I will have someone to share the view.

Sometimes it was really challenging carry this things with me, but I did it anyway.

I climbed trees for most of my childhood and a very few times during my teenager years.

Nowadays, I just enjoy to look at them or sit under their shade and hear the wind running through the branches, it brings back very good memories.

3. 溜旱冰 roller skating
I adored roller skating as a child. We had these funky metal looking skates with a key something like this.

Getting a brand new pair of roller skates was the best! I was a real terror on those things. I felt like I was flying with my pony tail sailing out behind me. I would push myself to go faster and faster then just suddenly stop. I was a bit of a tomboy. I pushed everything to the limit.

I am so happy internet wasn't created when I was a child. Being outside and playing in the fresh air and sunshine was awesome. You felt great when you'd go back inside, all flushed from playing with the neighborhood kids, the real ones, not the virtual ones. You know, I don't remember any overweight kids when I was a little girl either. We were all out running and playing in nature. I wouldn't trade those days for a thousand iAnthings!

4. 绘画
One thing I definitely miss is my hobby of 'Drawing'.

I had developed a fascination towards paintings and drawings, when I was just 7 year old, in second standard. It was all after I saw that a boy in my class was excellent in drawing and painting, I too wanted to become a painter/artist like him. That boy eventually became my best friend and is my best ever friend till date. He is an excellent artist and whenever I visit his home, he shows me his latest works.

We met each other when we were in 2nd standard. He was quite good in drawing back then as well and I din't know a shit about drawing. But in my own world, I was Piccasso! and even he thought so about me (You know how best friends are) :) There was nothing that could stop me. I even dreamed of becoming an artist. We both used to draw a lot together. With 'a lot' I mean so much so that even in sports period, we would sit in the play ground, take out our sketch books and draw anything to everything that we would like to. Most of the time we made sketches of super-heroes of Marvel/DC comics. My rough books were full of such types of stupid and funny sketches. And this hobby went on till when I was around in 7th standard. Later that year, I got transferred to another place and got admitted to a new school. And with that, this hobby also got dropped. I was away from my best friend and there was nobody in my new school to pat my back whenever I drew something that sucked from the bottom! I put myself away from all this and concentrated completely on studies. Eventually I gave up this hobby completely.

Around a year back we shifted to a new house. And in the shifting process I discovered few of my primary school notebooks, including my old sketch books. I saw that at the end of each and every note book, I had drawn silly stuffs like may be a super-hero's face or a flower or a landscape or any damn thing that's difficult to be explained. My sketch books were full with many such weird things. I abserved something. Some drastic change. The last pages of my primary school notebooks were full of colors and designs made by me, whereas the last pages of my college notebooks are just plain and empty. I don't even bother to look at the last pages now. I don't write anything on them. I realised at that moment that how colorful are our lives when we are with our best friends. I tried drawing once again, but I found no interest in it, not as much as when I was a child. But yet, I sometimes wonder, what if I had continued with it!? Who knows!

5.角色扮演Role Playing-Mostly by myself

I fancied guns as a kid . I fancied being a mercenary on one day , a spy on the other with guns and an imaginary radio . What started off by flashing the thumb and the index out of an imaginary holster , running around and firing at just about everything , I was introduced to the 'real deal' -Guns that would fire bullets.

Although mine were nothing like this -It was fun firing at people hoping they'd stick onto their foreheads even if mine never did.

It only got better with the air guns with little tiny spherical pellets in yellow and orange. They came with cartridges , I'd load each of these yellow bullets reminding myself '' One man , One bullet'' . I carried a sling bag for it or sometimes shoved it in my pants by the hip.

I'd duck behind vehicles , crawl underneath beds , I'd fire at birds but the birds were too fast so I'd fire at pillows and just about everything that was still.

6. 集邮 collecting stamps
When I was younger I collected stamps. My father went to a market and bought me about 5 old albums and I must have spent hours putting them onto new pages. I never finished. I still have all the albums and lots of odd stamps up in the loft. I decided that when I was an old lady and could not do much else I would start to organise them again.

In clearing out step-mother's house we found one of her son's stamp collection, just a few. So I now have them to add to my own collection. I do not think that there are likely to be many that have value as these would have been taken before the old albums got onto the market stall.

Amazingly when I looked at stamp pages on Taobao I saw quite a few that I recognised I had in my albums. That was a bit of a shock - fancy remembering stamps from such a long time ago.

7.魂斗罗及超级玛丽 Contra and Super Mario
I remember playing Contra like hell with a friend of mine. In his absence, my Mom would play Mario with me. I always used to choose Mario over Luigi. In those days, I could play Mario for hours without dying and in the meantime, my mom used to complete her daily household chores like washing clothes and utensils, making food, etc. During her turn, she would die in less than 5 minutes. I still have no clue whether she used to do this on purpose in order to fill the vacancy of my friend or that she was really inexperienced in playing Mario (C'mon, Mario was not that hard to play). But it surely used to make me very happy.

环球教育前言：作为雅思考试的第一部分，雅思听力考的如何会直接影响后面科目的发挥。那么雅思听力考试应该如何备考呢？如何备考雅思听力才能取得好成绩呢？在下文中，环球教育老师就来分析一下雅思听力如何备考吧。

1、如何才有备考的效果

选个安静的环境非常关键，在自己的卧室用电脑或者MP3都可以，要边听边记录关键信息，而且记录的时候不要把整个单词都拼写在上面，最好记一些单词的缩写，这样会比较省时间。而且一定要尽最大努力全神贯注的听。建议练习的时间不要过长，之后一定要去看听力原稿，把不明白的单词抄在本上，日后背诵。

2、关于备考的材料选择

这些英文网上都有，可以在线听也可以下载听。而且还有慢版和快版，如果自己觉得自己跟不上正常语速的话，就先听个慢版的吧，但听的时候一定要多记笔记，最好一篇新闻听过5遍之后可以写下来。对于不认识的单词千万别放过，没有时间总结的话，至少看原稿的时候要查一下词典，以后再见到的话，至少会有个印象的。

3、练习速记能力

比如说，听英语新闻要尽力把听到的关键词写下来，最好平时多背诵一些常用单词的缩写，这个缩写是只针对你的自己而言的，别人认识不认识都没有关系，重要的是你在做完雅思听力能把你记的缩写很快的转化为英语单词。听的过程中要抓重点的名词动词写，不要随便乱写，想全写下来也是不可能的。所以建议考生不要听到一个单词就着急把它写下来，要试着把整句话都听完再写，会有不错的效果。

4、细心

很多考生听力都不错，但是一到雅思考试时听力总拿不了高分。主要的问题是不够细心。有的单词明明会写，可真正写的时候就会出现少个S啊，少个ed啊或者是大小写的错误，前后搭配的错误等等。这些错误是绝对要避免的，尤其是对那些能力还比较不错，雅思分数要求6.5分以上的考生，更要格外小心。听的过程中要多注意那个转折连词，一般but，however这类词后面才是真正的答案呢。遇到数字题目，不要听到数字就赶紧去把第一个听到的数字写上，雅思听力有时常要做一些加减法方能得出答案呢。

5、遇到没听懂的部分也不要慌张

不要在一个题目上徘徊，要马上调整进行下一个题目的解答。等最后抄写答案的时候，再细心去分析哪个答案最有可能，实在没有时间的话就随便蒙一个答案，不要因为一个题目而丢掉更多的题目，那样的话会影响到考试的状态。

以上就是关于备考雅思听力的五个建议，希望这篇文章可以帮助到大家。
