Hi, I'm Sam. Welcome to Oxford Online English.
嗨，我是Sam。歡迎來到牛津大學英語在線課堂。
In this lesson, you can learn to talk about your studies in English. Are you a student?
在本節課程中，你會學習如何用英語談論你的學習。你是一名學生嗎？
Do you study at school or university? If you've finished your studies, can you describe what you studied, when and where?
你在學校還是大學學習？如果你已經完成了學業，你能描述一下你在什麼時候、在哪裡學習了什麼呢？
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.
談論你的學習在對話進行的時候、參加雅思這種考試的時候，或者是求職面試中都會很有幫助。所以能夠很清楚地用英語談論學業的的話會特別好的。
Let's start with the basics. Look at a simple sentence:
讓我們從基礎開始吧。看一個簡單的句子。
I'm a student. I study at ''_".
我是一名學生。我在「_」學習。
What could you put in the gap? You could say:
你可以在空白處填上什麼呢？你可以說：
I study at high school. I study at university.
我在高中學習。我在大學學習。
I study at vocational college. What's vocational college?
我在職業學校學習。什麼是職業學校？
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.
這是一種你能在裡面學到使用技能，用來找到一種特定工作的學校。比如說，你可以在職業學校學習美發、管道施工或者是廚藝。
You can also put the place before the word student, like this: I'm a high school student.
你也可以在「學生」這個單詞之前放上空白處的單詞。我是一名高中學生。
I'm a university student. I'm a vocational college student.
我是一名大學學生。我是一名職業學校學生。
Of course, you can also say: I'm an English student!
當然了，你也可以說：我是一名英國學生！
What else could you say here? You could also add what year you're in.
你還能怎麼說呢？你可以加上你現在幾年級。
Look at some incomplete sentences: I'm in "_" of high school.
看看這些不完整的句子：我在高中的「_」。
I'm a ''_" university student. How could you complete these sentences?
我是大學的「_」學生。你如何補全這些句子？
You could say: I'm in year 11 of high school.
你可以說：我是高二學生。
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。對於學校來說，我們一般會說：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.
因為不同的國家有不同的學校系統，在不同地方，不同的數字可能有不同的含義。在美式英語中，會說「年級」而不是「學年」。
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.
在美國，第一學年是4-5歲的孩子，學校在13學年結束，那時候學生大概17-18歲。就大學而言，你可以說第一年、第二年、第三年和最後一年。
For example: I'm in my final year.
比如說：我已經大四了。
I'll graduate in June. It's my second year.
我會在六月份畢業。我今年大二。
I've got two more years to go. What about you?
我還有兩年要讀。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!
如果你現在還是學生的話，你可以造一個句子描述一下你在哪裡學習、正處於哪一個學年嗎？暫停視頻練習一下吧！
Next, let's see how you can talk about what you study. Again, let's start with a simple sentence:
接下來，讓我們看看如何談論你學習了什麼。讓我們再從一個簡單的句子開始吧：
I'm studying for "_". What could you say here?
我在學習「_」。你可以說什麼呢？
Look at some examples: I'm studying for an International Baccalaureate.
讓我們看看一些例子：我在進行國際中學畢業會考。
I'm studying for a bachelor's in economics. I'm studying for an MA in English literature.
我在攻讀經濟學學士學位。我在攻讀英語文學碩士學位。
Instead of I'm studying for… , you can also say I'm doing… , like this: I'm doing a PhD in cryptography.
除了說我在學習...，你還可以說我在學...，就像：我在攻讀密碼學博士學位。
I'm doing an FCE course. If you're taking a professional certification, you can also say I'm studying to become…
我在上劍橋英語五級考試的課程。如果你正在考職業證書，你可以說我在為了成為...學習。
For example: I'm studying to become a cardiology nurse.
比如說：我為了成為一名心臟病學護士學習。
I'm studying to become an accountant. What about you?
我為了成為一名會計學習。那你呢？
What are you studying? Pause the video and make a sentence!
你正在學習什麼？暫停視頻，造個句子吧！
Okay, you can say a couple of basic things now. Let's see how you can make your answer more detailed.
好的，你現在可以說一些基本的東西了。讓我們看看如何讓你的答案更加詳細吧。
Look at some of the sentences we saw in part two: I'm studying for an International Baccalaureate.
看一下我們在第二部分的一些句子。我正在進行國際中學畢業會考。
I'm doing an FCE course. I'm studying to become an accountant.
我在上劍橋英語五級考試課程。我為了成為一名會計學習。
Our job is to add one more sentence to each example, giving more details. To help you do this, think about these questions:
我們現在要做的是給每個例子加一句話，增添更多的細節。為了幫助你，想想這些問題：
What do you have to do for this course? Why are you doing this course?
上這門課你要做什麼呢？你為什麼要上這門課？
What do you hope to get at the end of this course? Can you think of a way to make our examples more detailed?
課程結束你期望得到什麼呢？你能想到如何讓我們例子更加詳細嗎？
Pause if you want to think about it. Let's do some examples together:
如果你想思考一下的話，暫停視頻。讓我們一起做一些例題。
I'm studying for an International Baccalaureate. That means I'm doing English language and literature, maths, history and philosophy.
我進行國際中學畢業會考。那就意味著你要學習英語語言、文學、數學、歷史和哲學。
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.
我在學習劍橋英語五級課程。我想提升我的英語，因為我未來想在澳大利亞或者紐西蘭工作。
I'm studying to become an accountant. I'm hoping to get my CPA qualification so I can start working.
我在為了成為一名會計學習。我想拿到我的CPA學歷證書，所以我就可以開始工作了。
What about you? Think about our questions again:
那你呢？再想想我們的問題：
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.
你能回答這些問題讓你說的話更加詳細嗎？暫停視頻，試著就你的學習談論，越多越好，使用這三個問題來幫助你。
Hopefully, now you can talk about where and what you study and give some details. But what do you think of your studies?
希望你現在可以談論你在哪裡學習什麼，並且給出一些細節。但是你覺得你的學習怎麼樣呢？
How could you describe your course or whatever you're studying now? Do you like what you're studying?
你如何描述你的課程或者是你在學習的東西呢？你喜歡你學習的東西嗎？
Why or why not? To help you, think about these ideas.
為什麼，或者為什麼不呢？為了幫助你，想想這些點子。
Is what you're studying interesting or boring? Why?
你學習的東西是有趣還是無聊呢？為什麼？
Is it difficult or easy? Again, try to explain why!
困難還是簡單呢？要解釋為什麼哦！
Let's do some examples together: I'm studying for an International Baccalaureate.
讓我們再看幾個例子吧：我在為國際中學考試學習。
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.
我很喜歡，但是非常困難，因為我們要學習五個不同的科目，每一門的學習量都很大，所以我沒有很多自由時間。我在上劍橋英語五級考試課程。
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.
課程挺有趣的，因為我得用新的方式使用我的英語，準備考試給了我學習更多的動力。我在為了成為一名會計學習。
To be honest it's very easy and I find it quite boring. I can already do everything—I just need the qualification!
老實說，還挺簡單的，我覺得有點無聊。我現在已經能做所有事情了——我只是需要那個資格而已！
Do you think you could make an answer like this? Here's a basic template you can use:
你覺得你能給出這樣的答案嗎？有一個簡單的模板你可以使用：
I'm studying "_". I find it "_", because "_".
我在學習...。我覺得它...，因為...。
Let's do one more example, so you can see how to use this template: I'm studying engineering.
讓我們再來看一個例子，你就可以看看如何使用這個模板了。我正在學習工程。
I find it quite hard, because there's a lot of maths and things you have to remember. See?
我覺得很難，因為有很多數學計算，以及很多要記的東西。看到了麼？
Easy! Now pause the video and make your own answer.
很簡單！現在暫停視頻，組織一個自己的答案吧。
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.
現在，你可以談論你學習什麼，給一些關於你的課程或者科目的細節，並且給出你自己關於正在學習的東西的意見。現在，讓我們把所有的一切都弄到一起，組織一個更長的答案。
Just use the sentences you've practised in the previous sections, like this: I'm in my last year of high school.
使用你在上一部分練習的句子，就像這個：我在高中的最後一年。
I'm studying for an International Baccalaureate. That means I'm doing English language and literature, maths, history and philosophy.
我在學習國際中學畢業考試。那意味著我要學習英語語言、文學、數學、歷史和哲學。
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.
我很喜歡，但是真的很困難，因為我們要學習五種不同的科目，每一門的工作量都很大，所以我沒有很多自由時間。這個答案只用了你在視頻中看到的例子。
Let's do another longer answer with original examples: I'm a second-year university student.
讓我們用新的例子組織一個更長的答案。我在大二學生。
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!
我在學習心理學，因為我對人們想什麼非常感興趣，我希望在未來能夠成為一名心理學家。我非常喜歡心理學，也覺得它挺簡單的，因為所有的一切都很有趣，根本就不覺得要努力學習！
Now, what about you? Can you make a longer answer like this?
那麼你呢？你能像這樣組織一個更長的答案嗎？
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.
應該是挺簡單的：就把你在每個部分最後組織的例句拼接到一起就好啦！如果你想的話，把你的答案放到YouTube的評論中，我們就可以對你的英語給予反饋啦。
That's the end of the lesson. I hope you learned something new.
本節課程結束。希望你學到了新的東西。
