Hello, everyone.  I'm Robin and welcome to my video.

大家好，我是羅賓，歡迎收看我的視頻。  我是羅賓，歡迎來到我的視頻。

祈使句型

Well, I'm making this video for my Korean students.

好吧，我正在為我的韓國學生製作這個視頻。

Now I'm Canadian and I've traveled through... throughout Canada

現在我是加拿大人，我走遍了... 整個加拿大。

and I visited many of my Korean students and I saw how they studied English in Canada.

和我拜訪了很多韓國學生，我看到了他們在加拿大學習英語的情況。

And also many of my students have gone to Canada for six months...

而且我的很多學生也去了加拿大半年... ...

one year... two years to study English and  comeback and I've talked with them.

一年... ... 兩年學習英語和復出，我已經和他們談過了。

So, I learned a lot about  studying English in Canada.

所以，在加拿大學習英語，我學到了很多東西。

而我學到的是不要在這裡學習。

Ahh, Vancouver and Toronto.  These are the bigger cities in Canada.

啊，溫哥華和多倫多。  這些都是加拿大較大的城市。

And I'm going to say don't study English in Vancouver.

而我想說的是，不要在溫哥華學英語。

還有......不要在多倫多學英語。

because...of the students...ahh... that I've seen,  and there's been a lot, that went to Canada

因為... ...我見過的學生... ...啊... ...有很多人，去了加拿大。

and studied for six months or a year  and they came back.

並學習了半年或一年，他們回來了。

Ahh...I've noticed that students that studied English in Vancouver and Toronto...

啊......我注意到在溫哥華和多倫多學習英語的學生......。

their English was not as good as my students that studied in smaller Canadian cities.

他們的英語不如我在加拿大小城市學習的學生好。

Ok, so I'm going to talk a little bit of maybe 'why' that happens.

好吧，所以我要談一談也許 "為什麼 "會發生。

And before...uh...I talk about the 'why', we should understand if you plan to go to Canada...

在......呃......我說 "為什麼 "之前，我們應該明白，如果你打算去加拿大......。

呃......你應該有一個首要目標。

Now up here I have an example of two goals.

現在上面我舉了一個例子，有兩個目標。

There's probably other goals but we should identify the primary goal.

可能還有其他目標，但我們應該確定主要目標。

The first goal and the first goal I think should always be number one.

第一球和第一球我覺得應該永遠是第一。

When we go to Canada, we want to improve our English ok we want to go there for one year...

當我們去加拿大的時候，我們想提高我們的英語水平，我們想去那裡一年... ...

...come back. And we speak English...uh...very well.

...回來。我們的英語... ...說得很好。

You know it's very embarrassing if you...your parents

你知道這是非常尷尬的，如果你... 你的父母...

spend a lot of money to send you to Canada... you go there and you come back

花了很多錢送你去加拿大... 你去了又回來了

and there's only a little bit of improvement.

So our first goal should be improve our English

所以我們的首要目標是提高英語水平

So every decision we make,  should be to help the first goal.

所以我們做的每一個決定，都應該是幫助第一個目標。

Of course in Canada, wherever you go in Canada, you will have a great travel experience.

當然在加拿大，無論你去加拿大的哪個地方，你都會有很好的旅行體驗。

So understanding our first goal... do not study English in Vancouver...

所以理解我們的第一個目標... 不要在溫哥華學英語....

All right, we should also think about  what kind of friends we want to meet in Canada.

好了，我們也應該想想在加拿大要認識什麼樣的朋友。

Uh...they attract a lot of international students.

呃......他們吸引了很多國際學生。

ok so if you go to the language school...uh... or you're just walking around...uh...probably

好吧，如果你去語言學校......呃......或者你只是四處走走......呃......可能會。

you're going to meet a lot of  international students.

These are going to be your friends.  These are possibly going to be your roommates

這些都將是你的朋友。  這些可能會是你的室友。

Again, we have some goals here.  You want to go to Canada.

同樣，我們有一些目標在這裡。  你想去加拿大。

好吧，為了提高你的英語水平。

And you want to make international friends. This is good, too.

而且你想交國際友人。這也是好事。

...but again our primary goal should be - try to make Canadian friends. Ok?

......但我們的首要目標還是應該是--努力交到加拿大朋友。好嗎？

Again a lot of my students... they go to Canada... they go to Vancouver for one year

我的很多學生... 他們去了加拿大... 他們去溫哥華呆一年

They come back and they say " I have a lot of friends" and I asked them, "well

他們回來後，他們說："我有很多朋友"，我問他們，"好吧，我有很多朋友"。

"how many Canadian friends?' ...no...they have no Canadian friends. Ok...

"有多少加拿大朋友？" ......不......他們沒有加拿大朋友。好吧... ...

They have lots of new Korean friends.  And they have lots of Japanese or Chinese friends.

他們有很多新的韓國朋友。  他們有很多日本或中國朋友。

That's good, but we should try to make some Canadian friends because this

這很好，但我們應該試著交一些加拿大朋友，因為這...

將真正幫助我們提高英語水平。

Victoria, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg, Ottawa.

維多利亞、卡爾加里、埃德蒙頓、薩斯卡通、里賈納、溫尼伯、渥太華。

There's too many..ah...k..k..Koreans...in Canada.  Like when I say Koreans...

加拿大有太多......啊......k......k......韓國人......在加拿大。  就像我說韓國人的時候...

there's a lot of koreans living in Canada.  There's also a lot of Korean

有很多韓國人住在加拿大。  也有很多韓國人

students going to Canada. And there's a lot of Korean tourists going to Canada.

學生去加拿大。而且去加拿大的韓國遊客也很多。

Now, I love Korea, and I love Koreans.  But if you're going to Canada to study English

現在，我愛韓國，我愛韓國人。  但如果你要去加拿大學英語的話

Ah...You don't want to be around a lot of Koreans

啊......你不會想和很多韓國人在一起吧？

cause you're just going to speak Korean  more than you speak English.

因為你會說韓語比你說英語多。

Ok, so it's very important to get away from the people who speak the same language as you.

好吧，所以遠離和你說同一種語言的人是非常重要的。

Ok. It's very tempting. After a long day, you're tired and you're sick of English

好吧，這很有誘惑力。經過漫長的一天，你累了，你厭倦了英語。

to go play with your Korean friends.  And on the weekend...

去和你的韓國朋友玩。  而在週末...

play with your korean friends. Ok.You're not practicing your English.

和你的韓國朋友一起玩吧好吧，你沒有練習你的英語。

So, here are Canadian provinces, not all the Canadian provinces.

所以，這裡是加拿大的省份，而不是加拿大所有的省份。

Ontario...  This is...ah...the province with Toronto and Ottawa.

安大略省...  這是......啊......有多倫多和渥太華的省份。

不列顛哥倫比亞省。溫哥華省。維多利亞省。

So Toronto, Vancouver, don't study English there.  You can see there's a lot of Koreans there.

所以多倫多，溫哥華，不要在那裡學英語。  你可以看到那裡有很多韓國人。

These are the Koreans that live there. Korean-Canadians.

這些是住在那裡的韓國人。韓裔加拿大人。

And again as I said, they're students and tourists.

又如我所說，他們是學生和遊客。

These are the cities I recommend. Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg.

這些是我推薦的城市。卡爾加里，埃德蒙頓，薩斯卡通，里賈納，溫尼伯。

So you can see not many Koreans there. Good chance to practice your English

所以你可以看到那裡沒有多少韓國人。是練習英語的好機會

Ok, another problem...the language schools.

好吧，又是一個問題......語言學校。

Now when you're in Korea, you probably go to the  어학원 [language school helpers] first.

現在到了韓國，可能會先去找어학원[語言學校的幫助者]。

and you... you talk about studying English in Canada.

而你... ... 你說的是在加拿大學習英語。

And they might recommend Vancouver or Toronto.

而且他們可能會推薦溫哥華或多倫多。

I hope you tell them:  "No, no, no, I want to go to a smaller city."

我希望你告訴他們。  "不，不，不，我想去一個較小的城市。"

But when they recommend Vancouver or Toronto...ah...

但當他們推薦溫哥華或多倫多時......啊......。

They might get some incentive, some something, you know, money from...

And the language schools in Vancouver, Toronto

還有溫哥華、多倫多的語言學校

very big very professional. And they  are a problem because...I put three reasons here.

很大很專業。而他們是一個問題，因為......我在這裡放了三個理由。

First reason, they make it too easy...for students.
