外教讲解地道美语 第233期:教育背景

  Mr. Parsons:  Now, if I look here I see that you completed a BA in English?

Rebecca:Yes, that’s right.  After graduating from high school in New York I attended York University in the UK. My major was English, and my minor was business studies. I completed my BA in 2004.

Mr. Parsons:  Yes, I’m pleased to see that you also got a distinction.

Rebecca:Yes  that’s  right.   I’ve  always  enjoyed studying.  My friends say I’m a bit of a bookworm, but my father always pushed us to succeed academically.

Mr. Parsons:  Well,  it  looks  like  his  encouragement paid off Rebecca.  So how about extracurricular activities at University ？

Rebecca:Well I’ve always been keen on writing, so I became the editor for the University student magazine, which I really loved.  Also I volunteered for a group called Shelter, to help the homeless in York.

Mr. Parsons:  What did that involve?

Rebecca:Providing warm meals and shelter, especially in the winter months. I found it really fulfilling to be part of that group.

Mr. Parsons:  I’m sure.  Okay, now let’s move on to your work experience, shall we?

Rebecca:Yes, okay.
