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... Or maybe... You know what? Give yourself three minutes,
我希望你能把这些抄下来，因为我会让你暂停个一分钟......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".
死记硬背、助教、考高分、系主任、讲师、登记员、退课、用功学习、大学、大学生和上交。
So these are all very common words we use when we talk about university.
在我们谈论大学相关话题的时候经常会用到这些单词。
If there are any words here that you don't know the meaning of, I highly recommend watching some previous videos I've done on these words that explain them fully.
如果这里有你不认识的单词，我强烈推荐你去看看我之前上传的一些关于这些单词的视频，我在里面详细地解释过这些单词的意思。
So there will be a link for that, so feel free, if you don't know these words, to click on the link.
稍后我会把链接放上来，所以如果你不认识这些单词的话，尽管打开这条链接。
So now what I'm going to have you do is we are going to do a practice listening.
那么现在我要让你做的就是，我们要做一个听力练习。
You are going to listen to me tell you a story about university.
你将会听到我讲述一个关于大学的故事。
You are going to look at these words, and if you hear me say the word, you're going to put a checkmark right beside the words you hear.
你要看着这些单词，如果你听见我提到了某个单词，就在听到的单词旁边打个勾。
If you are on engVid, there's going to be a link that you can click to download these words so you can print them off and have them in front of you.
如果你是在engVid上看这个视频的，那你就可以点击一下这个链接来下载这些单词，以便于你把它们打印出来，拿在手里。
Same with on YouTube, if you're watching this off of YouTube, there will be a link you can click on in the description,
在Youtube上看见的也一样，如果你是在Youtube上观看这个视频的话，你会在详情处找到一个链接，
and that will take you to a place where you can download a list of these words.
点击一下你就能进入下载页面，就可以把这些单词下载下来了。
Otherwise, if you don't want to do that, you can actually just copy them out by hand, just write down these words.
另外，如果你不想这么麻烦的话，也可以直接自己把这些单词抄下来。
And then when you're ready, you can listen to me, and all you need to do is if you hear the word, you put a checkmark.
等你准备好之后，就可以听我读下面的故事了。你要做的事情就是，当你听到某个单词的时候，在旁边打个勾。
If you don't hear the word in what I'm going to say, then no checkmark.
如果你在我讲的这个故事里没有听到这个单词，就不要打勾了。
Okay, so let's get started. So, again, put a checkmark if you hear the word.
好了，那我们开始吧。再说一遍，如果听到了这个单词就打勾。
I went to the University of Toronto. I remember when I was an undergrad, I found school very difficult, especially in my freshman year.
我是在多伦多大学上的学。我还记得我读大学的时候，觉得在学校的一切都很困难，尤其是大一那年。
I guess the main problem was it was my first time away from home.
我猜主要原因就是那是我第一次离开家。
School had always come naturally to me before. I wasn't used to cramming and pulling all-nighters. I naturally had been a straight-A student.
以前，学业对我来说总是很自然的一件事。我过去并不习惯死记硬背和开夜车，但我自然而然就成了一个优秀学生。
Now I had to work hard so I wouldn't flunk.The problem was I was terrified of my prof and my TAs.
可是现在我必须努力学习才能不挂科。问题是，我当时很怕我的教授和助教们。
I was confused with my first assignment, and didn't hand it in on time.
我对进入大学的第一次作业并不是很会，而且没能按时上交给老师。
I bombed the test that same week. I started to study harder so I wouldn't fall behind.
就在同一个星期我考试也没及格。所以为了不落后，我开始更努力地学习。
Eventually, I met with an advisor, who really helped me. By my junior year, I was doing well.
后来，我遇见了一位指导员，他帮了我很多。到大三的时候，我的表现就很好了。
Okay, so take a moment. I'll read it one more time so you can check your answers.You can put a check if you hear any of these words.
好了，我会再读一遍，所以你们抓紧时间检查一下答案。如果你听到了这其中任何一个单词，都请打个勾。

Because I had studied for weeks before, I didn't have to cram or pull an all-nighter.
多亏我提前好几个星期就开始复习了，所以我并不需要死记硬背或者开夜车。
My instructor was really impressed with our marks. He introduced us to the dean.
我的讲师都被我们的分数惊艳到了，还把我们介绍给了系主任。
In my senior year, he gave me such a good reference, I was able to get into a master's program.
大四的时候，他给我写了一封特别好的推荐信，所以我才顺利申请上了研究生。
Eventually, I became a grad student and a TA.
