What else do you think we could add to the course program to help with this reading problem?
你們認為我們在課堂項目上可以加點什么來解決閱讀問題呢?
There's not really anything because it's my problem.
沒有什么,因為這是我的問題。
I remember we were given long articles to read.
我記得我們曾經要讀長篇文章。
We didn't like that but now I realise that reading those long articleswas good preparation for the things I need to read now.
我那時不喜歡,但是現在我意識到讀長篇文章對于我現在的閱讀是一種很好的準備。
Also,in class we regularly had speed-reading tasks to do, and we kept a record of our reading speed, so the teachers were encouraging us to work on that.
另外,我們在課上定期會有快速閱讀要做,我們對閱讀的速度計時,因此老師鼓勵我們這樣做。
That's true Spiros,but what we read could have been different.
沒錯,Spiros,但是我們讀得本可以不同。
Sometimes in the English class I felt frustratedwhen I had to read articles about the environment or health or education,
有時在英語課上,當我讀環境、健康或教育的文章時,我總感到受挫,
because I wanted to concentrate on my own field, but we didn't read anything about engineering.
因為我想專注于我的領域,但是我們讀不到任何關于工程學的文章。
So,I think I wasted some time learning vocabulary didn't need
所以,有時我覺得我在浪費時間學一些我用不著的詞匯。
But surely the strategies you were taught for dealing with that vocabulary were helpful
但是教你處理詞匯的方法肯定是有用的。
Yes,but psychologically speaking, I would have felt much better working on reading from my own field. What do you think Spiros?
是的,但是從心理上說,我更喜歡讀自己領域的文章。你覺得呢,Spiros?
I agree;that would have helped my confidence too and I would have been more motivated.
我同意,這也會提高我的自信心,使我更有動力。
It was good though that we could work on our own topics when we wrote the research assignments.
當我們寫研究作業的時候,這對于我們研究的題目也有幫助。
Okay,let's move on to writing now ...
好的,現在談談寫作……
