Hi, I'm Sam.

Welcome to Oxford Online English.
3
In this lesson, you can learn to talk about your studies in English.
4
Are you a student?
5
Do you study at school or university?
6
If you’ve finished your studies, can you describe what you studied, when and where?
7
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.
8
Let's start with the basics.
9
Look at a simple sentence: I’m a student.
10
I study at __________.
11
What could you put in the gap?
12
You could say: I study at high school.
13
I study at university.
14
I study at vocational college.
15
What’s vocational college?
16
It’s a kind of college where you can learn practical skills to get one specific kind of job.
17
For example, you can study hairdressing, plumbing, or cookery at vocational college.
18
You can also put the place before the word student, like this: I’m a high school student.
19
I’m a university student.
20
I’m a vocational college student.
21
Of course, you can also say: I’m an English student!
22
What else could you say here?
23
You could also add what year you’re in.
24
Look at some incomplete sentences: I’m in __________ of high school.
25
I’m a __________ university student.
26
How could you complete these sentences?
27
You could say: I’m in year 11 of high school.
28
I’m a first-year university student.
29
For school, we normally talk about year 1, year 2, year 3, etc.
30
Because different countries have different school systems, different numbers can have different meanings in different places.
31
In American English, say grade instead of year.
32
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.
33
For university, you can say first year, second year, third year and final year.
34
For example: I’m in my final year.
35
I’ll graduate in June.
36
It’s my second year.
37
I’ve got two more years to go.
38
What about you?
39
If you’re a student now, can you make a sentence to say where you study, and what year you’re in?
40
Pause the video.
41
and practice!
42
Next, let’s see how you can talk about what you study.
43
Again, let’s start with a simple sentence: I’m studying for __________.
44
What could you say here?
45
Look at some examples: I’m studying for an International Baccalaureate. I’m studying for a bachelor’s in economics.
46
I’m studying for an MA in English literature.
47
Instead of I’m studying for…, you can also say I’m doing…, like this: I’m doing a PhD in cryptography.
48
I’m doing an FCE course.
49
If you’re taking a professional certification, you can also say I’m studying to become… For example: I’m studying to become a cardiology nurse.
50
I’m studying to become an accountant.
51
What about you?
52
What are you studying?
53
Pause the video and make a sentence!
54
Okay, you can say a couple of basic things now.
55
Let’s see how you can make your answer more detailed.
56
Look at some of the sentences we saw in part two: I’m studying for an International Baccalaureate.
57
I’m doing an FCE course.
58
I’m studying to become an accountant.
59
Our job is to add one more sentence to each example, giving more details.
60
To help you do this, think about these questions: What do you have to do for this course?
61
Why are you doing this course?
62
What do you hope to get at the end of this course?
63
Can you think of a way to make our examples more detailed?
64
Pause if you want to think about it.
65
Let’s do some examples together: I’m studying for an International Baccalaureate.
66
That means I’m doing English language and literature, maths, history and philosophy.
67
I’m doing an FCE course.
68
I wanted to improve my English because I’d like to work in Australia or New Zealand in the future.
69
I’m studying to become an accountant.
70
I’m hoping to get my CPA qualification so I can start working.
71
What about you?
72
Think about our questions again: Can you answer these questions to make your speaking more detailed?
73
Pause the video, and try to say as much as you can about your studies, using the three questions to help you.
74
Hopefully, now you can talk about where and what you study and give some details.
75
But what do you think of your studies?
76
How could you describe your course or whatever you’re studying now?
77
Do you like what you’re studying?
78
Why or why not?
79
To help you, think about these ideas.
80
Is what you’re studying interesting or boring?
81
Why? Is it difficult or easy?
82
Again, try to explain why!
83
Let’s do some examples together: I’m studying for an International Baccalaureate.
84
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.
85
I’m doing an FCE course.
86
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.
87
I’m studying to become an accountant.
88
To be honest it’s very easy and I find it quite boring.
89
I can already do everything—I just need the qualification!
90
Do you think you could make an answer like this?
91
Here’s a basic template you can use: I’m studying __________.
92
I find it __________, because __________.
93
Let’s do one more example, so you can see how to use this template: I’m studying engineering.
94
I find it quite hard, because there’s a lot of maths and things you have to remember.
95
See? Easy! Now pause the video and make your own answer.
96
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.
97
Now, let’s put everything together and make a longer answer.
98
Just use the sentences you’ve practised in the previous sections, like this: I’m in my last year of high school.
99
I’m studying for an International Baccalaureate.
100
That means I’m doing English language and literature, maths, history and philosophy.
101
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.
102
That’s an answer only using examples you’ve already seen in this video.
103
Let’s do another longer answer with original examples: I’m a second-year university student.
104
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.
105
I’m really enjoying it and I find it quite easy, because everything’s so interesting that it doesn’t feel like work!
106
Now, what about you?
107
Can you make a longer answer like this?
108
It should be easy: just put together the example sentences you made at the end of each section!
109
If you want, put your answers in the YouTube comments and we’ll give you feedback on your English.
110
That's the end of the lesson. I hope you learned something new.

关于本课

在本课中,您将学习如何用英语谈论您的学习经历。无论您是正在上学的学生,还是已经完成学业的人,能够清晰地描述您的学习内容、地点和年级都是非常重要的。这项技能不仅能帮助您在日常对话中流利表达,还可以在雅思口语考试或求职面试中加分。通过练习,您将能够自信地用英语讨论您的学习背景和相关细节。

关键词汇和短语

  • 学生 (student) - 指在学校或大学学习的人。
  • 职业学院 (vocational college) - 提供职业技能培训的学校。
  • 高年级 (year/grade) - 学校中的年级,年份。
  • 本科 (bachelor's) - 本科学历。
  • 研究生 (MA/PhD) - 硕士或博士学位。
  • 学习 (study) - 获取知识或技能的过程。
  • 毕业 (graduate) - 完成学业,获得学位。
  • 春季学期 (semester) - 一学年的一个学期。

练习技巧

在练习用英语讨论学习内容时,可以试试"shadowspeak"技巧。观看相关的看YouTube学英语视频,跟着语音进行模仿,确保与视频的速度和语调一致。可以暂停视频,尝试重复句子,这样增强记忆并改善发音。通过不断进行这种"shadow speak"练习,您不仅能提高语言流利度,还能让自己的反应速度更加灵敏。将常用的学习句型融入到您的日常对话中,例如“我在____学习”或“我正在做____课程”,将增强您在雅思口语练习中的表现。记得善用所学的词汇和短语,并尽量做到自然流畅,让对话更具真实感。

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
