實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語(yǔ)情景對(duì)話：留學(xué)加拿大 Studying in Canada

Todd: Steve, I have a friend who wants to go study in Canada. What's the best way for a student to get into a Canadian University?

托德：史蒂夫，我有個(gè)朋友想去加拿大學(xué)習(xí)。學(xué)生進(jìn)入加拿大大學(xué)的最好方法是什么?

Steve: Well, it all depends on your nationality, and your level of English, in terms of your TOEFL score. If you have a very low TOEFL score then probably your best bet would be to first go to Canada for three to six months and study in an English college there, and try to improve your English. While in Canada you can take practice TOEFL tests, and you can find tutors to help you write essays, then when you return to your home country, if it's Japan, there's lots of good English schools, English tutors in Japan, Korea as well. I'm not too familiar with other countries but basically you have to apply for a student visa. It's usually not that difficult to get. Along with your student visa, you'll have to take a TOEFL test, which requires you to understand grammar. There's a listening portion, um, there's a reading comprehension portion, and the most difficult portion for non-native English speakers is the essay question, because you have to write an essay during the TOEFL test, so I recommend that you practice writing essays and if you want more information I would ask the Canadian Embassy in your country or do a search on the internet where there's lots of information.

史蒂夫：嗯，這要取決你的國(guó)籍，你的英語(yǔ)水平，要依據(jù)托福成績(jī)來(lái)看。如果你的托福成績(jī)很低，那可能你最好的選擇就是先去加拿大上語(yǔ)言學(xué)校，大概用三個(gè)月到六個(gè)月的時(shí)間來(lái)提高你的英語(yǔ)水平。在加拿大你也可以參加托福實(shí)踐考試，導(dǎo)師會(huì)指導(dǎo)你的寫作，要是在你的祖國(guó)的話，比如說(shuō)是日本，也有許多好的語(yǔ)言學(xué)校和英語(yǔ)導(dǎo)師，當(dāng)然韓國(guó)也是。我對(duì)其他國(guó)家不太熟悉，不過(guò)基本來(lái)說(shuō)，你必須要申請(qǐng)留學(xué)簽證。通常來(lái)說(shuō)拿到簽證不會(huì)太難。有了留學(xué)簽證，還必須要參加托?？荚?，考試的目的是要求你理解語(yǔ)法。托?？荚囍杏新?tīng)力部分、閱讀理解部分，不過(guò)對(duì)母語(yǔ)非英語(yǔ)的學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)最難的部分要屬寫作了，在托福考試中必須要寫作文，所以我建議你們練習(xí)寫作，如果你想得到更多的信息，可以詢問(wèn)加拿大駐你們國(guó)家的大使館，或是上網(wǎng)搜索一下，那兒有大量的信息。
