情景对话
Peter:
So Sarah you told me earlier that you've been home-schooled, it sounds
really interesting, I've never met somebody who's been home-schooled, so
could you tell me a little bit more about your experience with it?
彼得：
萨拉，你之前跟我说过你一直在家上学，这听起来很有意思。我以前不认识在家上学的人，你能给我讲讲你的经历吗？
Sarah:
Yes, absolutely. Well I'm the youngest of four children, so I was the
last one to come up being home-schooled. But my father decided to
home-school us
as soon as
it
became legal in our state. And for me it was a very different
experience than my older siblings. I think when they were younger my
father did more of the formal teaching, like at all once, like lecture
style. But by the time I
came along
,
he didn't do that anymore. So my learning predominantly came from
books. And I remember even as young as second grade, like doing all of
my work by myself. One of my favorite aspects of it when I was like in
second and third grade is I could do all of my work on Monday and then
have the rest of the week to play, didn't have to do any work.
萨拉：
当然可以。我是四个孩子里最小的，我是最后一个接受在家教育的。不过实际上，在家教育在我们州合法化以后，我爸爸就决定让我们在家上学。与我的哥哥姐姐们相比，这对我来说是一种完全不同的体验。我想他们小的时候，我爸爸对他们进行过更正式的教育，就是给他们讲解。但是在我参与以后，他不再做这种事了。所以我主要通过书籍自学。我记得我在二年级时就已经自己做所有事了。我认为其中一个好处是，我在二年级和三年级时可以在周一完成所有的作业，然后那一周其他时间就可以尽情玩耍了，不用再做任何作业了。
Peter:
Wow! That sounds really nice. How come your parents decided to home school, what was important for them?
彼得：
哇哦！这听起来太棒了。你父母为什么决定让你们在家上学，什么对他们来说比较重要？
Sarah:
My older sister had a lot of problems in school and they were in the
principal's office like every day. And so that's initially what made
them start thinking about it. And from there they made the decision and
so all the rest of us were home-schooled after that.
萨拉：
我姐姐在学校有很多问题，我父母基本上每天都被叫到校长室去。所以他们开始考虑这个问题。那时他们做出了这个决定，所以之后我们几个孩子都开始在家上学了。
Peter:
Wow! That's fascinating. Tell me, the fact that you were home-schooled, did that make any difference
