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,在今天的视频里我们要来做一些听力练习。
This video is going to be particularly useful if you are going to university or plan to go to university,
如果你即将要去读大学或者打算去读大学,
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,那么这个视频对你会非常有帮助的。
University words come up a lot on the TOEFL and the IELTS, especially in the listening,
与“大学”相关的词汇经常出现在托福和雅思考试中,尤其是听力部分。
so this video will help you improve your listening, specifically about university words.
所以今天这个视频将会帮你加强听力练习,尤其是大学类词汇方面的听力。
Okay, so to get started, I want you, on a piece of paper, to put something like this.
好的,那我们就开始吧!首先我希望你拿出一张纸,在上面写上这些东西。
I want you to write the word "university" in the center, "verbs", "people", "places", "things", "slang".
我希望你在纸中间写上“大学”这两个字,然后“动词”、“人物”、“地点”、“事情”和“俚语”。
I want you to copy this, because I'm going to have you pause the video for one minute...
我希望你能把这些抄下来,因为我会让你暂停个一分钟......
Or maybe... You know what? Give yourself three minutes,
或者......算了,我给你三分钟的时间,
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学有关的所有单词。
So, for example, people, I might think the "prof"; verbs, I might think "enroll".
听懂了吗?比如,在“人物”这一类,我可能会想到“教授”;“动词”这一类,我也许会想到“注册”。
But try to come up with as many as you can. Places, maybe "cafeteria"; things, "course"; slang, "hit the books".
不过请你试着尽量多想一些单词出来。在“地点”这一类,也许会想到“餐厅”;“事情”这一类的话,可能是“课程”;“俚语”的话,可能是“用功学习”。
I want you to try to come up with as many words as you can, and then we will talk about these words.
我希望你想出来越多单词越好。然后我们会再讨论一下这些单词。
I hope you've done some brainstorming, and you've come up with a list of words.
好了,我希望你已经进行了一番头脑风暴,并且想出了很多单词。
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?
现在我想让你做的事就是,我想让你看一看:你想出来的单词和我列出来的这些有没有一样的?
So, behind me, I have a bunch of words I thought of. Do you have the same words, or totally different words?
嗯......在我身后写着我想出来的很多单词。有跟你想到的一样的吗?还是你想到的完全是别的单词?
I put the word: "advisor", "flunk", "fall behind", "marks", "grades", "freshman", "sophomore", "junior", "senior", "prof", "pull an all-nighter",
我列出来的单词有:指导员、挂科、落后、分数、成绩、大一、大二、大三、大四、教授、开夜车、
"cram", "TA", "ace the test", "dean", "instructor", "registrar", "drop a course", "hit the books", "undergrad", "grad student", and "hand in".
