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

这些是你的课本吗？生物化学、生态学概论、植物学、细胞遗传学、分子遗传学……

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

是的，为了期末考试，我得把它们全部复习一遍。马上就要期末考试了。

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

哦，是啊！你们每个学期末都有这么多考试吗？

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.

看情况而定。有些学期有很多门考试，有些却没有。有些课程不要求考试，，只要求写论文，那样会容易些。

A And when do you prepare for your final exam?

那你们什么时候准备期末考试？

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

说实话，大部分学生在考试前一个月开始准备。

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

真的吗？你们只用一个月的时间来复习？那有用吗？

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.

当然有用。有老师讲课笔记的复印件也很重要，因为考试中的大多数问题都以老师的笔记为准。
