Hi, I’m Sam. Welcome to Oxford Online English.

嗨，我是Sam。欢迎来到牛津大学英语在线课堂。

In this lesson, you can learn to talk about your studies in English. Are you a student?

在本节课程中，你会学习如何用英语谈论你的学习。你是一名学生吗？

Do you study at school or university? If you’ve finished your studies, can you describe what you studied, when and where?

你在学校还是大学学习？如果你已经完成了学业，你能描述一下你在什么时候、在哪里学习了什么呢？

Talking about your studies could help you in conversation, in an exam such as IELTS or in a job interview. So it’s good to be able to talk clearly about your studies in English.

谈论你的学习在对话进行的时候、参加雅思这种考试的时候，或者是求职面试中都会很有帮助。所以能够很清楚地用英语谈论学业的的话会特别好的。

Let’s start with the basics. Look at a simple sentence:

让我们从基础开始吧。看一个简单的句子。

I’m a student. I study at ”_”.

我是一名学生。我在“_”学习。

What could you put in the gap? You could say:

你可以在空白处填上什么呢？你可以说：

I study at high school. I study at university.

我在高中学习。我在大学学习。

I study at vocational college. What’s vocational college?

我在职业学校学习。什么是职业学校？

It’s a kind of college where you can learn practical skills to get one specific kind of job. For example, you can study hairdressing, plumbing, or cookery at vocational college.

这是一种你能在里面学到使用技能，用来找到一种特定工作的学校。比如说，你可以在职业学校学习美发、管道施工或者是厨艺。

You can also put the place before the word student, like this: I’m a high school student.

你也可以在“学生”这个单词之前放上空白处的单词。我是一名高中学生。

I’m a university student. I’m a vocational college student.

我是一名大学学生。我是一名职业学校学生。

Of course, you can also say: I’m an English student!

当然了，你也可以说：我是一名英国学生！

What else could you say here? You could also add what year you’re in.

你还能怎么说呢？你可以加上你现在几年级。

Look at some incomplete sentences: I’m in “_” of high school.

看看这些不完整的句子：我在高中的“_”。

I’m a ”_” university student. How could you complete these sentences?

我是大学的“_”学生。你如何补全这些句子？

You could say: I’m in year 11 of high school.

你可以说：我是高二学生。

I’m a first-year university student. For school, we normally talk about year 1, year 2, year 3, etc.

我是大一新生。对于学校来说，我们一般会说：第一年、第二年、第三年等等。

Because different countries have different school systems, different numbers can have different meanings in different places. In American English, say grade instead of year.

因为不同的国家有不同的学校系统，在不同地方，不同的数字可能有不同的含义。在美式英语中，会说“年级”而不是“学年”。

In the UK, year 1 is for children who are 4-5 years old, and the school system finishes with year 13, when students are 17-18 years old. For university, you can say first year, second year, third year and final year.

在美国，第一学年是4-5岁的孩子，学校在13学年结束，那时候学生大概17-18岁。就大学而言，你可以说第一年、第二年、第三年和最后一年。

For example: I’m in my final year.

比如说：我已经大四了。

I’ll graduate in June. It’s my second year.

我会在六月份毕业。我今年大二。

I’ve got two more years to go. What about you?

我还有两年要读。那你呢？

If you’re a student now, can you make a sentence to say where you study, and what year you’re in? Pause the video and practice!

如果你现在还是学生的话，你可以造一个句子描述一下你在哪里学习、正处于哪一个学年吗？暂

停视频练习一下吧！

Next, let’s see how you can talk about what you study. Again, let’s start with a simple sentence:

接下来，让我们看看如何谈论你学习了什么。让我们再从一个简单的句子开始吧：

I’m studying for “_”. What could you say here?

我在学习“_”。你可以说什么呢？

Look at some examples: I’m studying for an International Baccalaureate.

让我们看看一些例子：我在进行国际中学毕业会考。

I’m studying for a bachelor’s in economics. I’m studying for an MA in English literature.

我在攻读经济学学士学位。我在攻读英语文学硕士学位。

Instead of I’m studying for… , you can also say I’m doing… , like this: I’m doing a PhD in cryptography.

除了说我在学习…，你还可以说我在学…，就像：我在攻读密码学博士学位。

I’m doing an FCE course. If you’re taking a professional certification, you can also say I’m studying to become…

我在上剑桥英语五级考试的课程。如果你正在考职业证书，你可以说我在为了成为…学习。

For example: I’m studying to become a cardiology nurse.

比如说：我为了成为一名心脏病学护士学习。

I’m studying to become an

accountant. What about you?

我为了成为一名会计学习。那你呢？

What are you studying? Pause the video and make a sentence!

你正在学习什么？暂停视频，造个句子吧！

Okay, you can say a couple of basic things now. Let’s see how you can make your answer more detailed.

好的，你现在可以说一些基本的东西了。让我们看看如何让你的答案更加详细吧。

Look at some of the sentences we saw in part two: I’m studying for an International Baccalaureate.

看一下我们在第二部分的一些句子。我正在进行国际中学毕业会考。

I’m doing an FCE course. I’m studying to become an accountant.

我在上剑桥英语五级考试课程。我为了成为一名会计学习。

Our job is to add one more sentence to each example, giving more details. To help you do this, think about these questions:

我们现在要做的是给每个例子加一句话，增添更多的细节。为了帮助你，想想这些问题：

What do you have to do for this course? Why are you doing this course?

上这门课你要做什么呢？你为什么要上这门课？

What do you hope to get at the end of this course? Can you think of a way to make our examples more detailed?

课程结束你期望得到什么呢？你能想到如何让我们例子更加详细吗？

Pause if you want to think about it. Let’s do some examples together:

如果你想思考一下的话，暂停视频。让我们一起做一些例题。

I’m studying for an International Baccalaureate. That means I’m doing English language and literature, maths, history and philosophy.

我进行国际中学毕业会考。那就意味着你要学习英语语言、文学、数学、历史和哲学。

I’m doing an FCE course. I wanted to improve my English because I’d like to work in Australia or New Zealand in the future.

我在学习剑桥英语五级课程。我想提升我的英语，因为我未来想在澳大利亚或者新西兰工作。

I’m studying to become an accountant. I’m hoping to get my CPA qualification so I can start working.

我在为了成为一名会计学习。我想拿到我的CPA学历证书，所以我就可以开始工作了。

What about you? Think about our questions again:

那你呢？再想想我们的问题：

Can you answer these questions to make your speaking more detailed? Pause the video, and try to say as much as you can about your studies, using the three questions to help you.

你能回答这些问题让你说的话更加详细吗？暂停视频，试着就你的学习谈论，越多越好，使用这三个问题来帮助你。

Hopefully, now you can talk about where and what you study and give some details. But what do you think of your studies?

希望你现在可以谈论你在哪里学习什么，并且给出一些细节。但是你觉得你的学习怎么样呢？

How could you describe your course or whatever you’re studying now? Do you like what you’re studying?

你如何描述你的课程或者是你在学习的东西呢？你喜欢你学习的东西吗？

Why or why not? To help you, think about these ideas.

为什么，或者为什么不呢？为了帮助你，想想这些点子。

Is what you’re studying interesting or boring? Why?

你学习的东西是有趣还是无聊呢？为什么？

Is it difficult or easy? Again, try to explain why!

困难还是简单呢？要解释为什么哦！

Let’s do some examples together: I’m studying for an International Baccalaureate.

让我们再看几个例子吧：我在为国际中学考试学习。

I like it but it’s hard work, because we have to do five different subjects and there’s a lot of work for each one, so I don’t have much free time. I’m doing an FCE course.

我很喜欢，但是非常困难，因为我们要学习五个不同的科目，每一门的学习量都很大，所以我没有很多自由时间。我在上剑桥英语五级考试课程。

It’s quite interesting because I have to use my English in new ways, and having the exam to prepare for gives me the motivation to study more than I would otherwise. I’m studying to become an accountant.

课程挺有趣的，因为我得用新的方式使用我的英语，准备考试给了我学习更多的动力。我在为了成为一名会计学习。

To be honest it’s very easy and I find it quite boring. I can already do everything—I just need the qualification!

老实说，还挺简单的，我觉得有点无聊。我现在已经能做所有事情了——我只是需要那个资格而已！

Do you think you could make an answer like this? Here’s a basic template you can use:

你觉得你能给出这样的答案吗？有一个简单的模板你可以使用：

I’m studying “_”. I find it “_”, because “_”.

我在学习…。我觉得它…，因为…。

Let’s do one more example, so you can see how to use this template: I’m studying engineering.

让我们再来看一个例子，你就可以看看如何使用这个模板了。我正在学习工程。

I find it quite hard, because there’s a lot of maths and things you have to remember. See?

我觉得很难，因为有很多数学计算，以及很多要记的东西。看到了么？

Easy! Now pause the video and make your own answer.

很简单！现在暂停视频，组织一个自己的答案吧。

At this point, you should be able to talk about what you study, give details about your course or subjects, and give your opinion about what you’re studying. Now, let’s put everything together and make a longer answer.

现在，你可以谈论你学习什么，给一些关于你的课程或者科目的细节，并且给出你自己关于正在学习的东西的意见。现在，让我们把所有的一切都弄到一起，组织一个更长的答案。

Just use the sentences you’ve practised in the previous sections, like this: I’m in my last year of high school.

使用你在上一部分练习的句子，就像这个：我在高中的最后一年。

I’m studying for an International Baccalaureate. That means I’m doing English language and literature, maths, history and philosophy.

我在学习国际中学毕业考试。那意味着我要学习英语语言、文学、数学、历史和哲学。

I like it but it’s hard work, because we have to do five different subjects and there’s a lot of work for each one, so I don’t have much free time. That’s an answer only using examples you’ve already seen in this video.

我很喜欢，但是真的很困难，因为我们要学习五种不同的科目，每一门的工作量都很大，所以我没有很多自由时间。这个答案只用了你在视频中看到的例子。

Let’s do another longer answer with original examples: I’m a second-year university student.

让我们用新的例子组织一个更长的答案。我在大二学生。

I’m studying psychology, because I’ve always been interested in how people think, and I’m hoping to work as a psychologist in the future. I’m really enjoying it and I find it quite easy, because everything is so interesting that it doesn’t feel like work!

我在学习心理学，因为我对人们想什么非常感兴趣，我希望在未来能够成为一名心理学家。我非常喜欢心理学，也觉得它挺简单的，因为所有的一切都很有趣，根本就不觉得要努力学习！

Now, what about you? Can you make a longer answer like this?

那么你呢？你能像这样组织一个更长的答案吗？

It should be easy: just put together the example sentences you made at the end of each section! If you want, put your answers in the YouTube comments and we’ll give you feedback on your English.

应该是挺简单的：就把你在每个部分最后组织的例句拼接到一起就好啦！如果你想的话，把你的答案放到YouTube的评论中，我们就可以对你的英语给予反馈啦。

That’s the end of the lesson. I hope you learned something new.

本节课程结束。希望你学到了新的东西。
