情景会话：我通过考试啦!
D: you look better today. How did your test go?
B: much better than it did yesterday.
D: did you pass?
B: I not only passed my test, but I aced it! I'm so happy!
D: you should be. You worked really hard last night preparing for it.
B: thanks for helping me with it. If you hadn't encouraged me to do my best, I wouldn't have ever been able to pass.
D: you don't have to thank me. It's just a part of my job as your counsellor.
B: did you always do well at school?
D: no, in fact, I was terrible at taking exams.
B: really?
D: sure, but my teachers always encouraged me to do the best that I could and that helped me a lot. When are your final exams?
B: I'll get my finals in two months.
D: when do you plan on studying for those exams?
B: most students just cram the night beforehead.
D: do you think that's a good idea?
B: no, I think I should study a little bit at a time, starting a few weeks before the exam.
D: that sounds like a good idea. What are you going to do if you have any questions while you're studying?
B: I'll go and talk to my professor or a learning support assistant.
D: it sounds like you've learned something useful this year!

你今天看起来好多了.你的测验怎么样?
比昨天好多了!
及格了吗?
不仅及格了,而且成绩还特别高!我真高兴!
应该的.你昨晚复习的特别认真.
谢谢你帮我复习.如果不是你鼓励我要全力以赴,我肯定及格不了.
你不用感谢我,作为你的辅导员,这是我工作分内的事.
你上学的时候是不是总是学得很好?
不是,实际上我曾经很害怕考试.
真的吗?
没错,不过我的老是总是鼓励我让我尽力而为,这帮了我不少忙.你们的期末考试是什么时候?
两个月以后.
你打算什么时候开始准备这些考试?
大多数学生都打算在考前突击.
你觉得这是个好办法吗?
不是, 我想我应该平时每次学一点,考试前早提早几周复习.
这样听起来不错.如果学习的时候遇到困难,你会怎么办?
我会去找我的教授或者助教咨询.
听起来你这一年学了不少有用的东西嘛.
