You ready? So today, I'm gonna talk about education.

準備好了嗎？今天，我要談談教育。

This is an essential topic because education is an important part of our lives.

這是一個至關重要的話題，因為教育是我們生活的重要組成部分。

Most people get some kind of education.

大多數人都接受過某種教育。

Education is different in different countries, but today, we'll talk about education in the U.S. So first, let's talk about the different levels of education in the U.S.

教育在不同的國家是不同的，但今天我們要討論的是美國的教育。是以，首先讓我們來談談美國不同層次的教育。

The first level of education is preschool.

第一級教育是學前教育。

In the U.S., kids go to preschool when they're four years old, but not everyone goes to preschool.

在美國，孩子四歲時就要上學前班，但並不是每個人都能上學前班。

Some people don't go.

有些人不去

I went to preschool when I was four.

我四歲時上了學前班。

I didn't like it because I was very shy.

我不喜歡這樣，因為我很害羞。

I didn't like playing with other kids when I was young. In preschool, children play a lot, but they also learn.

我小時候不喜歡和其他孩子一起玩。在學前班，孩子們經常玩耍，但同時也在學習。

After preschool, children go to kindergarten.

學前班結束後，孩子們要上幼兒園。

Usually, kids start kindergarten when they're five years old.

通常，孩子們在五歲時就開始上幼兒園了。

In kindergarten, children start learning more things.

到了幼兒園，孩子們開始學習更多的東西。

For example, they learn to read, write, and make art.

例如，他們學習閱讀、寫作和藝術創作。

They also learn how to be good students.

他們還學會了如何成為好學生。

I remember that when I was in kindergarten, we had discipline.

我記得在我上幼兒園的時候，我們有紀律。

If we did something bad, we got in trouble.

如果我們做了壞事，就會有麻煩。

I never got in trouble because I was a good student. So, after kindergarten, you go to elementary school.

我從沒惹過麻煩，因為我是個好學生。所以，幼兒園畢業後，你就上了小學。

In the U.S., most elementary schools include first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grade.

在美國，大多數小學包括一年級、二年級、三年級、四年級、五年級和六年級。

But, some elementary schools don't include sixth grade.

但是，有些小學不包括六年級。

In each year of elementary school, you only have one teacher.

小學的每一年，你只有一位老師。

You have the same teacher all year.

全年都是同一個老師

In my opinion, elementary school isn't that difficult in the U.S.

在我看來，美國的小學並不難。

Of course, you get homework, but it's not too much.

當然，你會有作業，但不會太多。

In elementary school, you learn many things like math, science, history, and English.

在小學，你可以學到很多東西，比如數學、科學、歷史和英語。

At this level, you spend about six hours at school. Then, after elementary school, you go to middle school or junior high.

在這個年級，你要在學校度過大約六個小時。小學畢業後，您將升入國中或高中。

I say middle school, but both of these names are correct.

我說是中學，但這兩個名字都沒錯。

Middle school usually includes seventh and eighth grade.

國中通常包括七年級和八年級。

At this level, students have many teachers, like six or seven.

在這個級別，學生有很多老師，比如六七個。

I had six different classes each year in middle school.

我在中學時每年都有六個不同的班級。

Each class was one hour long.

每節課一個小時。

I didn't like middle school.

我不喜歡中學。

It's much harder than elementary school.

這比小學難多了。

You get more homework, and you have more tests. Then, after middle school, you go to high school.

你會有更多的家庭作業和考試。國中畢業後，你就要上高中了。

In the U.S., high school includes ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade.

在美國，高中包括九年級、十年級、十一年級和十二年級。

This is the most important time for students in the U.S.

這是美國學生最重要的時刻。

If you want to go to college, then it's important to do well in high school.

如果你想上大學，那麼在高中取得好成績就很重要。

High school can be difficult, but it depends on your teachers.

高中可能會很難，但這取決於你的老師。

Some teachers give a lot of homework, and some teachers don't.

有些老師會佈置很多作業，有些老師則不會。

And some teachers are good at teaching, and some teachers aren't.

有些老師善於教學，有些老師則不然。

I had some good teachers in high school, but I also had some bad teachers. So, after high school, some people go to college, and some people don't.

我在高中遇到過一些好老師，但也遇到過一些壞老師。所以，高中畢業後，有些人上了大學，有些人沒有。

Of course, there are different levels of university, and you can earn different degrees there. Okay, so lastly, let's look at a few important vocabulary words related to education.

當然，大學有不同的級別，你可以在那裡獲得不同的學位。好了，最後讓我們來看看與教育有關的幾個重要詞彙。

First, let's talk about the word grades.

首先，我們來談談成績這個詞。

We use the word grades to talk about how well you did in a class or on a test.

我們用成績這個詞來形容你在課堂上或考試中的表現。

In the U.S., these grades are A, B, C, D, and F.

在美國，這些等級分別為 A、B、C、D 和 F。

An A grade is the best, and an F grade is the worst. Okay, the next word is recess.

A 等是最好的，F 等是最差的。好了，下一個詞是課間休息。

In the U.S., recess is the short break that elementary school students have during their school day.

在美國，課間休息是小學生在校期間的短暫休息時間。

During recess, students play, talk, or eat a snack.

課間休息時，學生們可以玩耍、哈拉或吃零食。

This break is usually 20 or 30 minutes. Okay, the last phrase you should learn is bachelor's degree.

休息時間通常為 20 或 30 分鐘。好了，最後一個短語是學士學位。

A bachelor's degree is the degree you get after four years of university.

學士學位是大學四年後獲得的學位。

It's lower than a master's degree. Alright, that's all for today.

比碩士學位還低。好了，今天就到這裡。
