Peter:Hey,Cindy.What did you think of the first day of English 101? 彼得:嘿,辛蒂。妳覺得第一天的英文101怎麼樣?
Cindy:I liked it pretty well, I guess.Professor King talks really fast,though. I had trouble understanding his explanation of the syllabus. 辛蒂:我想我還蠻喜歡的。不過金教授講話的速度太快了。我聽不懂他對課程大綱的說明。
Peter:I was impressed with the course objectives. By the end of the semester,we should be good at organizing and writing ten-page essays. 彼得:我對課程目標的印象深刻。在這學期結束前,我們得要有本事組織、撰寫一份十頁的報告。
Cindy:I'm just a little worried about the writing portfolio that we have to turn in at the end of the semester. What's that all about? 辛蒂:我只是有點擔心我們期末要交的寫作學習檔案。那到底是什麼東西啊?
Peter:I guess the professor wants to see all of our essays together-to see how much progress we've made durling the term. 彼得:我想教授是想集中一次看我們所有的報告,看看這學期之中我們進步了多少。
