Eric和Patty是好朋友,也是大学同学。他们中午一起吃饭,聊起了校园生活。
Professor: In this first part, we will learn how to ask what classes someone is taking.
Patty: Hi Eric! Are you hing fun at college?
Eric: Yes, it's great. How many classes are you taking?
Patty: I'm taking four classes. Are you taking a lot of classes?
Eric: I'm taking three classes.
Professor Bowman, Eric怎么只选三门课?美国大学生的日子也太轻松了吧!
Professor: Well Winnie, maybe they are taking hard classes and he to study a lot. 自学者英语论坛以寓教于乐的方式打造最好的免费自学柿? 这么说也有道理。可能正是因为课程难度大,所以他们才只选几门课。
Professor: Let's listen and find out what their classes are. Patty: What classes are you taking?
Eric: Well, I'm taking English classes.
Patty: I see. Well I'm taking a lot of science classes, like chemistry.
Eric: Chemistry? Wow, that sounds hard. You must he a lot of work.
Professor Bowman, Eric为什么要选英文课呢?英语不是他的母语么?这算不算投机取巧?
Professor: Well Winnie, some English classes are hard, even for Americans. Students he to read very hard books. 原来如此。那么,在美国大学里,学生们是不是每天都要上课呢?
Professor: Well, let's listen to Eric and Patty talking about when they he classes.
Patty: What's your schedule like?
Eric: It's great! I only he classes from Monday to Thursday!
Patty: You don't he any classes on Friday?
Eric: No, so I can he fun with my friends on Thursday night.
Eric不光选修英文课,而且一个礼拜只上四天课,这怎么可能?
Professor: Yes, some students he easy schedules. Now let's listen to them talking about their professors.
Eric: Who is your chemistry professor?
Patty: I got Professor Franklin for chemistry. He's really great!
Eric: Who did you get for math?
Patty: I got Professor Martinez for math. He's good, but the TA is so boring. TA? TA是什么?
Professor: A TA is a "teaching assistant." They are older students who help professors teach the younger students.
TA就是Teaching Assistant的缩写,也就是助教的意思。Patty说她很喜欢自己的数学教授,不过教授的那位助教却非常沉闷无聊。
Professor: Right. You know, if my students don't study hard enough, sometimes I'll get a mean TA to help me teach. 我们不认真,你就要找个厉害的TA,那我们如果特别认真,你就会找个特别帅的TA喽?Professor: No. If I get a cute TA, everyone will he a crush on him and study less. Now Eric and Patty are going to talk about what clubs they are in.
Patty: I'm in some fun clubs.
Eric: What kind of clubs are you in?
Patty: I do all kinds of things. I do some academic clubs, but other clubs are just for fun. 哇, Patty 可真行,加入了这么多课外社团。
Professor, 美国大学中都有那些社团呢?
Professor: Some clubs are academic. Students study together for tests or discuss current events. Some clubs are just for fun. They do things like yoga and hip hop dancing.瑜珈社和街舞社,听起来真不错!不知道Eric加入了什么社团没有!
Eric: I'm only in a hip hop dancing club. It's really fun.
Patty: A dancing club? I love hip hop music, and I love dancing.
Eric: You should join. It's not full, and there are plenty of spaces left.
Patty: I think I will. It would be fun to do a club together.
Eric只参加了街舞社?他这个人,课只选了三门,每周只上四天课,连跟学习有关的课外社团也不参加。唉,他过得也太轻松了吧!

Life in the University
Situation:In dormitory, A is playing computer game,B is reading,C is singing.
A:Hi,guys,now our college life is passing almost two years,and let us talk something special about it。
B: Oh,man,why are you suddenly interested in this topic?Are you finally consciousness after so much time playing computer?
C: Oh yes, I think he is really conscious now。
A:You’re right,I don’t think there is something interesting after playing computer for so long a time。So I want to do something meaningful,like looking at some books as you (for B)do.I am really admire you for you hard working all the time ,and I think I should be the time I change。
B:Thanks ,In fact, you can do that。Before high school I am also obsessed with computer games like you now,Later, I take an active part in some activities in school and take a look at some inspirational books, then slowly not to play .
C:Sounds like a good idea. I think you(for A) should learn to B and do not waste too much time on, the game above, and can not waste four years of university life。I think I also he to learn to B rather than singing for all day long。
B:I’m glad to hear that,I hope you can change yourself from now on,the only I can say is all my thought and Experience。As for those who can really change you are your own 。
A:Ah, you are right,But we still he to thank you,If you do not say it, we do not know how much time would be wasted,still do not know how much time will be spent in these things do not make any sense。I am really grateful for all what you say。
C:Yeah,thank you very much,Although I am not as obsessed with the game as A,I also do not seem to concentrate on learning over the past two years,and spend too much time on listening to the music or singing。If you don’t remind me today,I do not even know my university life has passed for two years.
B:Today you give me a great sense of change,is there anything wrong with you?
A:Nothing wrong。I often note that you ’re reading when I am playing computer games。Sometimes I quite admire you for your good attitude。Oh,Today, I am saying this out。
C: So am I.It seems that I do not care about everything, In fact, I he seen your efforts over the past two years, but I can only admire you in my heart,and blame myself only by the impact of your until today.
B: Ah? I do not boast of you.In fact,the peple who are really affect you are your own.. Of course, you say that I he affected you, I am very pleased to hear that. After all, I he never thought of the issue like "I can affect you!"
A , B,C: Let us work for it together!
宿舍里有三个人,A,B,C,三个人正在宿舍.A在玩电脑游戏,B在看书,C在唱歌.
A:两位,你们好,这大学都快过去两年了,让我们来谈谈关于大学生活中的一些东西吧.
B:哦,你今天怎么突然对这个话题感兴趣了,玩电脑那么久了终于觉悟了吧.
C:是哦,我看他是真的觉悟了.
A:呵呵,是啊,玩这么久的,也觉得没什么意思了,所以现在想做一些有意义的事,比如像你(指B)看看书也是挺好的,真的很佩服你,这两看一直都能这样的努力学习,我想我也是有所改变的时候了.
B:过奖了,其实你也可以做到.以前上高中时我也是和现在的你一样沉迷电脑游戏,后来就常常参加一些学校的活动,多看看些励志方面的书,慢慢的就不再玩了.
C:嗯,这主意不错,我想B你应该像A学习一下,不用把太多的时间浪费在游戏上面,不可让自己的大学生活白白虚度了啊,我想我也要向B学习,也不能整天有事没事都在哼歌了..
B:很高兴能听到你们说这些,我希望你们现在就可以改变自己,我能说的只是我的看法与经历,至于真正能改变你们的人还是你们自己啊
A:嗯,你说得没错,不过我们还是得感谢你,如果没有你说这些,我们不知道还要浪费多少时光,不知道还要把多少时间花费在这些没有意义的事情上,真的,很感谢你能说这些.
C:不错,真的很感谢你,虽然我没有像B那样沉迷游戏,但回想这两年来,我好像也没有把心思放在学习上,有事没事都是在听歌哼歌.如果今天没B你这么提醒,我还不知道我的大学生活已经过了两看了呢.
B:你们今天给我的感觉变化好大,是不是吃错什么药了?
A:没有啦,其实我在玩游戏时,时常注意到你在看书,有时候挺佩服你,你的心态真好,今天我把这话说出来了,呵呵.
C:对啊,我也是了,别看我好像对什么事都不在乎似的,其实你(对A)这两年来的努力,我都是看到的,可我也只能是心里佩服,只恨自己到了今天才真受到了你的影响。
B嗯?你们别夸我了,其实真正影响到你们的人是你们自己了,呵呵。当然,你们说我影响到了你们,这话我听起来我也会感到高兴的,毕竟,对于“我能影响你到你们”这个问题,我从来没想到过呢。
A、B、C:让我们一起努力吧
John: So, what do you think you’ll do after school?
Mary: I’m not really sure. Maybe, I’ll go into the army.
John: What? Do you want to kill people?
Mary: Don’t be silly. The army isn’t just about killing the enemy. There are research and development areas,
monitoring departments, national security and more. I could be put into a terrorist investigation division! But I won’t rush into a decision like that. You’ve got to sign a long-term contract and I may want to change my mind!
John: If I come into some money I’ll go to university and get a degree. Then, maybe I’ll be able to move into
the career I want. At the moment though I’ll probably he to do some part-time work.
Mary: I’m not sure about unis. I’ll let you into a secret – half the courses are easy because international
students are paying and want good results.
John: Yeah. I know about that. If I get into a university it won’t be a degree mill. It’ll be a proper one like
Monash. I’ve got the marks. I just don’t he the money.
Mary: I’d definitely like to earn money. If I could break into the music industry, maybe sell a few records...
John: Hey, I bumped into Matthew yesterday. He said he planned to start a band. Maybe you could ask him if
they need a musician or a singer?
Mary: If I run into him I’ll ask him about his band, but I was thinking of being an agent. Not as much stress
that way!
John: Yeah, the life of a roadie or agent – checking into motels across the country, meeting fans, taking drugs,
enjoying rock and roll. Yeah. All you need to do is negotiate with the pubs, deal with the accounting
side of running the band and make sure everyone performs, and gets home safely. Then party!
Mary: Unless I’m an agent for one of those singers that cause people to burst into tears when they hear the music. Brrr. No fun there but lots of money from tweens!
John: Yeah, I don’t like tuning into that kind of music. It would make me burst out crying, but for a completely different reason. Pain!
Mary: Or, maybe I could be a trel agent. I could start off as a tour guide and help people explore Australia.
If I’m lucky I could get to start in a good position and just grow into it.
John: I see. So you hen’t really thought about what you want to do at all, he you?
Mary: ...or maybe I could run an internet cafe or...
