純正地道美語第338期(外教講解):Homeschooling 在家教育
A: I think we should home school our children when we decide to have kids.
我認爲當我們決定有孩子的時候應該在家教育他們。B: What? Why?
什麼?爲什麼?A: Well, our public schools here are not very good and private school are just too expensive. I have been reading up on home schooling and it has a lot of advantages.
嗯,我們這裏的公立學校不是很好,私立學校又很貴。我讀了有關家庭教育的書,發現有很多的優勢。
B: Like what? I think that by doing something like that we would be isolating our children from social interaction.
比如?我覺得這麼做的話會讓我們的孩子很孤立,不會社交。A: Well, first of all, I would be able to teach them everything they learn in school in a more relaxed and fun way. I also think that having a one-on-one class is much better since you can focus more on his or her strengths or weaknesses.
嗯,首先,我能夠用一種更加輕鬆和好玩的方式教他們在學校裏學到的一切。我還覺得一對一的教學方式可以有爭對性發現他或者她的優缺點。B: I think neither your parents or mine would agree to such an idea.
我想我們的父母都不會同意的。A: I will bring it up over Sunday brunch.
我會在週末的早午餐的時候跟他們提的。B: Good luck with that!
希望這個想法能被通過!
