Hi, there. My name is Emma, and in today's video, we are going to do some listening practice.
大家好,我叫Emma,在今天的視頻里我們要來做一些聽力練習。
This video is going to be particularly useful if you are going to university or plan to go to university,
如果你即將要去讀大學或者打算去讀大學,
if you are writing the TOEFL test, or if you are writing the IELTS.
如果你要考托福或者雅思,那么這個視頻對你會非常有幫助的。
University words come up a lot on the TOEFL and the IELTS, especially in the listening,
與“大學”相關的詞匯經常出現在托福和雅思考試中,尤其是聽力部分。
so this video will help you improve your listening, specifically about university words.
所以今天這個視頻將會幫你加強聽力練習,尤其是大學類詞匯方面的聽力。
Okay, so to get started, I want you, on a piece of paper, to put something like this.
好的,那我們就開始吧!首先我希望你拿出一張紙,在上面寫上這些東西。
I want you to write the word "university" in the center, "verbs", "people", "places", "things", "slang".
我希望你在紙中間寫上“大學”這兩個字,然后“動詞”、“人物”、“地點”、“事情”和“俚語”。
I want you to copy this, because I'm going to have you pause the video for one minute...
我希望你能把這些抄下來,因為我會讓你暫停個一分鐘......
Or maybe... You know what? Give yourself three minutes,
或者......算了,我給你三分鐘的時間,
and I want you to think about all the words you can think of that have to do with university.
然后我希望你想一想你能想到的和大學有關的所有單詞。
So, for example, people, I might think the "prof"; verbs, I might think "enroll".
聽懂了嗎?比如,在“人物”這一類,我可能會想到“教授”;“動詞”這一類,我也許會想到“注冊”。
But try to come up with as many as you can. Places, maybe "cafeteria"; things, "course"; slang, "hit the books".
不過請你試著盡量多想一些單詞出來。在“地點”這一類,也許會想到“餐廳”;“事情”這一類的話,可能是“課程”;“俚語”的話,可能是“用功學習”。
I want you to try to come up with as many words as you can, and then we will talk about these words.
我希望你想出來越多單詞越好。然后我們會再討論一下這些單詞。
I hope you've done some brainstorming, and you've come up with a list of words.
好了,我希望你已經進行了一番頭腦風暴,并且想出了很多單詞。
What I want you to do now is I want you to see: Did you come up with any of the same words that I came up with?
現在我想讓你做的事就是,我想讓你看一看:你想出來的單詞和我列出來的這些有沒有一樣的?
So, behind me, I have a bunch of words I thought of. Do you have the same words, or totally different words?
嗯......在我身后寫著我想出來的很多單詞。有跟你想到的一樣的嗎?還是你想到的完全是別的單詞?
I put the word: "advisor", "flunk", "fall behind", "marks", "grades", "freshman", "sophomore", "junior", "senior", "prof", "pull an all-nighter",
我列出來的單詞有:指導員、掛科、落后、分數、成績、大一、大二、大三、大四、教授、開夜車、
"cram", "TA", "ace the test", "dean", "instructor", "registrar", "drop a course", "hit the books", "undergrad", "grad student", and "hand in".
