Homework課外作業(yè)
Mary: You look kind of unhappy. Do you want to talk about anything?
瑪麗:你看起來有點兒不高興。你想說點什么嗎?
Tom: It seems like I can't write a good paper for this teacher. Just look at the corrections all over the pages. It feels
like he hates me or something.
湯姆:看起來,我寫不出一篇讓這老師滿意的文章。你看看他給糾正的這滿篇的錯誤。我感覺他不喜歡我或我的某些方面。
Mary: I'm sure it isn't anything that serious. Is this your first year taking English writing classes? Maybe you just have a
lot to leam from this teacher.
瑪麗:我敢肯定沒那么嚴重。你這是第一年上英語作文課吧?也許你要從老師那里學(xué)很多東西。
Tom: Yeah, that may be, but then why does he only show me my errors and never say anything about what I might have done
right? It.seems kind of unfair, and a little unkind.
湯姆:也許吧,但他為什么只是指出我的錯誤,卻從來不說我文章的好的方面呢?這好像有點幾不太公平,而且也太不近人情了。
Mary: I could see why you think that. It must be difficult. Just keep working at it. You'll improve as you write more, and
you'll certainly impress the teacher as well. Just don't give up.
瑪麗:我理解你為什么那么想,那肯定是很難受的。你只要好好寫,你的作文肯定會進步的,你給老師留下的印象也會好起來的。不要放棄。
Tom: I suppose you might be right, but I thought he should be a little less critical.
湯姆:我想也許你是對的,不過我覺得他也應(yīng)該別這么挑剔。
