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

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

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

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

May: And when do you prepare for your final exam?

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

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

Lisa: 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.

May: Wow, and all the key points are included in them? You're so smart!

Lisa: But the exam is not as simple as you may imagine. We have to stay up late.

May: Do you have the classrooms open for the whole night?

Lisa: Yes, some people even pack up his bed quilt and sleep there. That's a little bit crazy.

May: Wow, there is no exam that can be easily gotten through. Don't you think of cheating in the exam?

Lisa: Are you kidding? It's a very serious thing when you get caught cheating in the exams. Maybe, you will be asked to leave the school.

May: You reap what you sow. You know, once been caught cheating in TOEFL, you'll be disqualified.

Lisa: That's right! And I have to get down to my business now.

聽看學

阿美: 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……

利莎: 是的，為了期末考試，我得把它們全部複習一遍。馬上就要期末考試了。

阿美: 哦，是啊!你們每個學期末都有這麼多考試嗎?

利莎: 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。

阿美: 那你們什麼時候準備期末考試?

利莎: 説實話，大部分學生在考試前一個月開始準備。

阿美: 真的嗎?你們只用一個月的時間來複習?那有用嗎?

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

阿美: 哇，所有的重點都包括在內?你真聰明!

利莎: 但考試不像你想象的'那麼簡單，我們必須熬夜。

阿美: 你們有通宵自習室嗎?

利莎: 有，一些人甚至帶着被子睡在那裏。那還真有點瘋狂。

阿美: 哇，沒有任何考試時容易通過的。你難道沒有想過在考試時作弊嗎?

利莎: 你開玩笑吧?考試當中被抓住作弊是很嚴重的事情。你有可能會被開除。

阿美: 該是怎麼樣就是怎麼樣。你知道嗎，在托福考試中，一旦被抓住作弊，就會被取消考試資格。

利莎: 那是應該的!我現在得趕緊複習了。
