May: So you are going to graduate from your university. Do you have any plans for the future?
Lisa: I want to look for a job, but I also feel that I need to know more about my subject of study.
May: I think if you feel that way, then going to graduate school is the right path for you.
Lisa: I have considered that. But sometimes I feel that I just don't have the passion for the college life any more.
May: Why?
Lisa: I don't know. Maybe I am just feeling a little bit tired after so many years of study.
May: Yeah, graduate school is an energy and time consuming endeavor.
Lisa: What's more, I am really busy right now, writing my graduate thesis and preparing for the interview. If I look for a job, I surely will have no time for the graduate school entrance exam.
May: Have you figured out what career you want?
Lisa: No, not yet. But a career that requires advanced education is always my dream: college professor, biologist, lawyer, researcher, doctor…
May: You are so ambitious! But which subject do you want to work on?
Lisa: I don't know. I think probably I need to buy a few years while I figure out about my career.
May: Then why not get a job and have someone pay you? You can still go to graduate school later if you need or want to.
Lisa: Yeah, and I think I will be a much better student once I know what I am there for.
May: Yeah, after gaining some work experience, you will be much clearer about what you are doing now.
Lisa: Exactly, I need to make a decision at once. Time and tide wait for no man.
聽看學(xué)
阿美: 你要大學(xué)畢業(yè)了，對將來有什么打算嗎？
利莎: 我想找份工作，但是我又感覺需要對我所學(xué)的專業(yè)有更進一步的了解。
阿美: 如果你那樣想的話，去念研究生是你最好的選擇。
利莎: 我也那樣考慮過，但是有時候我感覺自己沒有激情繼續(xù)過大學(xué)生活了。
阿美: 為什么？
利莎: 我也不知道。也許經(jīng)過這么多年的學(xué)習(xí)，我感覺有點倦怠了。
阿美: 嗯，研究生學(xué)院是一個消磨精力和時間的地方。
利莎: 還有，我現(xiàn)在真的很忙，寫我的論文，準(zhǔn)備答辯。如果我要找工作，我就真的沒有時間準(zhǔn)備研究生入學(xué)考試了。
阿美: 你想過要從事什么職業(yè)嗎？
利莎: 還沒有，但是要求高等教育水平的職業(yè)一直是我的夢想，比如大學(xué)教授、生物學(xué)家、律師、研究員、醫(yī)生等等。
阿美: 你真有志向！但是你想從事哪方面的工作呢？
利莎: 我不知道，我想我可能需要幾年的時間來確定我的職業(yè)方向。
阿美: 為什么不找份工作，先賺點錢呢？如果你需要或者想念研究生，你可以以后去。
利莎: 嗯，我想當(dāng)我更明確自己的目標(biāo)以后，我會是個更加優(yōu)秀的學(xué)生。
阿美: 是啊，等你獲得一些工作經(jīng)驗以后，你就會更清楚你現(xiàn)在在做什么。
利莎: 沒錯，我需要立刻做決定。時間不等人嘛。

Classroom Problem Solver
It's no easy way to be a good teacher since there are so many classroom problems to solve. For example, some students just love to talk. What can you do to quiet them down? A good method to solve this problem is to stand by the student for a minute or two, perhaps making eye contact with him, while continuing to present your lesson. Your presence will likely be sufficient to quiet him down.
