2.實用對話
Worrying about an Exam擔心考試
George: I am absolutely certain I'm going to fail my English test.
喬治:我敢肯定,我英語考試不會及格的。
Ann: What makes you so sure and why are you so pessimistic?
安:什么讓你這么肯定?你為什么這么悲觀呢?
George : Because it is impossible to improve listening level within a week. I'm not being pessimistic. I'm being realistic.
喬治:因為我不可能在一周之內提高聽力水平。我這不是悲觀,是現實。
Ann: This is your only reason?
安:這就是你的原因?
George: Yes, I know my vocabulary and reading comprehension are pretty good. But my listening hasn't changed at all in a long
time. It seems so hard to improve it and I'm not exactly sure why.
喬治:是啊,我知道我的詞匯和閱讀理解非常好。但我的聽力這么長時間了都沒有一點變化。看起來很難提高了。我也不知道是什么原因。
Ann: Don't worry about it. Practice makes perfect. I'll lend you some listening materials so at you can practice more
before the exam. I believe you can pass the exam with good preparation.
安:別擔心。熟能生巧。我借你一些聽力材料,你可以在考試前多加練習。我相信,如果你好好準備,你會通過考試的。
George: Oh. thank you. That's very nice of you.
喬治:噢,謝謝。你真是太好了。
