CET-6 Listening Long Conversation: Online or In-Person Classes?

Conversation Two.

对话二。

Ben, have you signed up for statistics next term?

Ben，你报下学期的统计学了吗？

Yes, I chose the online version. You can watch the lectures any time.

报了，我选了网课。什么时候都能看讲课视频。

Really? I picked the classroom one.

真的吗？我选的是线下课。

I work at the bookshop three afternoons a week.

我每周有三个下午在书店打工。

Online, I can study in the evening and pause whenever I like.

上网课的话，我可以晚上学，想暂停就暂停。

And I can watch the hard parts twice. Or three times!

难的部分还可以看两遍。或者三遍！

That's true, but statistics isn't easy to learn alone.

话是没错，但统计学可不好自学。

In class, I can ask a question the moment I'm lost.

在课堂上，我一听不懂就能马上提问。

And honestly, if nobody expects me somewhere, I put things off.

而且说实话，要是没人在某个地方等着我，我就会拖延。

So you need the timetable to keep you going?

所以你需要课表来督促自己？

Exactly. I know myself.

没错。我了解我自己。

Last year, I took an online course and stopped after three weeks.

去年我上了一门网课，三周后就放弃了。

Fair enough. But my timetable doesn't leave me much choice.

有道理。可我的时间安排没给我多少选择。

What if you joined our study group on Thursdays?

要不你周四来参加我们的学习小组？

We meet at six, after your shift.

我们六点碰头，正好在你下班之后。

That's a great idea! I'd have the freedom and someone to ask.

好主意！我既有自由，又有人可以问。

And someone to make sure you actually do the work!

还有人盯着你真正把作业做完！
