A Are these your text books? Biochemistry, General Ecology, Botany, Cell Genetics, Molecular Genetics…

這些是你的課本嗎？生物化學、生態學概論、植物學、細胞遺傳學、分子遺傳學……

B Yes. I gotta review all of them for the final exam. It is just around the corner.

是的，為了期末考試，我得把它們全部復習一遍。馬上就要期末考試了。

A Oh, right! Do you have many exams at the end of each semester?

哦，是??！你們每個學期末都有這么多考試嗎？

B That depends. Some semesters have many, some don't. And some courses don't have exams but only ask for papers. That's easy.

看情況而定。有些學期有很多門考試，有些卻沒有。有些課程不要求考試，，只要求寫論文，那樣會容易些。

A And when do you prepare for your final exam?

那你們什么時候準備期末考試？

B Honestly speaking, most students prepare it one month before the exam.

說實話，大部分學生在考試前一個月開始準備。

A Really? You only review your lessons in one month? Does it work?

真的嗎？你們只用一個月的時間來復習？那有用嗎？

B Of course, it's useful. And it's very crucial to have the copies of teacher's notes, because most questions in the exam are based on them.

當然有用。有老師講課筆記的復印件也很重要，因為考試中的大多數問題都以老師的筆記為準。
