1 语言班的四大课程

在美国旧金山加州东湾校区，宫玥樱步入了大学生活，可是在上专科之前，每个学生都要上语言班，这样才好知道每个学生的英语水平和成绩在什么阶段。

“玥玥，我们要上语言班，你在Lever几班啊？”王瑶依说。

“我阅读在Lever3，听力在Lever4，写作在Lever3，口语Lever3，你呢，依依？”玥樱说。

宫玥樱，王瑶依和陈娜娜是广州高中的同学，她们三个一起约好出国留学，所以就住在一起，也一起在加州东湾大学上大学。

“啊，我除了听力在Lever3，其他都在Lever4。你呢，娜娜？”瑶依说。

“我和你一样。”陈娜娜说。

“哦，对了，你们打算学什么专业？”瑶依说。

“我打算学工商管理，你们呢？”玥樱说。

“我读酒店管理。”娜娜说。

“你们都选好了，我还没想好呢。”瑶依说。

“依依，你可以读音乐专业啊，你钢琴弹得那么好。”玥樱说。

“我们三个学的都不是一个专业啊。”瑶依说。

“没事，但我们约好了一起住到毕业嘛，除非有变化。”娜娜说。

她们三人住在学校的半山腰名叫City View的公寓，这里的公寓都是独栋的，一栋有三层，每一层都是一个房间，房间里有三房的，两房的，一房的，还有厨房卫生间。她们三人目前住的是一房的。王瑶依和陈娜娜住房间，宫玥樱住客厅。她们三人置办好了一些常用的家具，也差不多准备开学了。周一，她们去学校报道了。

“Hello Iris, I'm your exclusive mentor Benjamin. I'm from  Britain . I'll be in the office every Tuesday and Thursday. If you have any questions you don't understand, you can come to me.”Benjamin说。

“OK, Benjamin. Can you recommend some English grammar books to me? My grammar is not very good.”玥樱说。

“No problem. You can buy this Grammar Workbook on Amazon. You can make it yourself. If you don't know how to ask me.”Benjamin说。

玥樱点点头说“：Thank you, Benjamin.”

玥樱出了办公室的门，去上第一次的写作课了。

“Hello, everyone. Nice to meet you. I'm your writing teacher. My name is Margaret. Today, let's introduce yourselves and get to know each other." Margaret说。

轮到玥樱了，玥樱站起来说:"Hello, I'm from Shanghai, China. My name is Iris. I'm pleased to meet you."

"Wow, your name is the name of a flower, and I like it very much. Iris is very beautiful."Margaret说。

"Yes, I also like iris. One of the flower words of iris is to spread good news."玥樱说。

过了好一会，班上所有的同学都介绍完了。Margaret说“：Well, now that the students in the class know each other, our writing assignment today is to write a self introduction. We should write about where we come from, what our interests and hobbies are, what our ideal job is in the future, and why we want to take this job?”

上午的课程结束了，玥樱下了课后打电话给瑶依，瑶依说她们一起到学校的餐厅吃饭，学校有一家名叫Subway的，是面包店。他们吃了些，就回她们住的公寓City View.因为下午没课，所以她们中午睡到了三点起床，然后去了down town 的电影院去看电影了。这是她们三个出国第一次看电影，纯英文听力，没有任何字幕。看完电影后，他们在附近找了家餐馆吃饭，吃完饭回家，都准备洗澡睡觉了。周二，玥樱去上阅读课了，在阅读课上玥樱认识了一个男生。

“你好，很高兴认识你，我叫吴皓辰，来自贵州贵阳。”

“嗯，你好，我叫宫玥樱，很高兴认识你，我是上海虹桥的。”

“上海，是个好地方，我一直都很想去旅游呢。”皓辰说。

“那欢迎你来找我，我带你去。”

这时，老师走了进来，进来的是个老头。

“Hi, I'm Ben. I'm going to be your reading teacher. I like music. I have a guitar. Every day I play the guitar and sing. This makes me feel good every day.”

同学们听到都笑了。大家都觉得这个老师很幽默，很有趣。

“Are there any singing students in our class?”Ben说。

玥樱举手了。玥樱看了看四周，只有玥樱一个人，玥樱又把说放下了。

“Oh, don't be shy. What's your name, the girl who just raised her hand? Why do you like singing?”Ben.

玥樱站起来说“：My name is Iris, and I come from China. I like singing because it makes me feel happy. I forget all the unhappy things.”

“Excellent，Your name is also very beautiful, Iris. You look as beautiful as iris.”Ben说。

玥樱听见说了声“：Thank you,Ben.”

中午，玥樱叫上了皓辰一起去吃饭。皓辰也认识了瑶依和娜娜。

周三上午，玥樱去上听力课了。玥樱的听力一直都很好。没想到听力课上，吴皓辰也和玥樱在同一个班。这次上课的老师是个女的，这位老师稍微有些肥胖。

“Hello, my lovely students, I come from Italy. My name is Cynthia.Hi, Eric, I didn't expect to be your tutor and your listening teacher.”Cynthia说。

Yes, I really can't think of it. It's good. My hearing is just so good. So can I ask you directly if I don't understand it in the future?吴皓辰说。

“Of course.”Cynthia说。

很快，就到了最后一门的口语课了，周四上午九点，玥樱来到她的口语课教室，看见好多不认识的学生，有好多不同国家的学生，日本的，法国的，阿拉伯的。其中有三个阿拉伯的三个男生长的特别像，应该是兄弟。玥樱找了个位置坐了下来，这时，一个阿拉伯的男生走到玥樱面前和她打招呼。

“Hi, my name is Fadi. I'm from Arabia. Nice to meet you. What's your name? Can I make friends with you?”

“Oh, Fadi, Hello, my name is Iris. I come from China. It's nice to meet you and I'd like to be your friend.”玥樱说。

“Well, I guess you are Chinese. I have seen you in school before. I think you are very beautiful. You are my type of girl. Don't worry, we are just friends, not boyfriend and girlfriend.” Fadi说。

“Yes, of course. By the way, are those two people sitting with you your own brothers?”玥樱问。

“How did you know that?”Fadi说。

“Because you three look alike, I didn't expect it to be true, and I guess it too.”玥樱说。

“Yes, our three brothers were born to the same parents, so they will be very similar. The tall one is my second brother Frank, the short one is the youngest Bray, and I am their eldest brother.”Fadi说。

“Oh, it's good to have brothers and sisters. I'm an only child. I'm a little lonely”玥樱说。

“No, the only child is good. There is no need to compete for favors. Four of our three brothers fight for favors.”

“You're right.”玥樱说。

这时，老师走了进来，是位年轻的女老师。

“How do you do, my name is Mariana. I'm from France. I'm your oral English teacher. I'm pleased to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you, too, Mariana.”学生们异口同声说。

“Well, I saw my students from many different countries. Are there any from France like me?”Mariana说。

有三个同学举手了。中国的学生有四个，日本的两个，阿拉伯的十个，美国本土的有三个，英国的两个。口语课下课后，玥樱收拾东西准备走，这时法迪叫住她。

“Iris, would you like to have dinner with us tonight?”

“Sorry, Fadi, I have an appointment tonight. Next time, OK?”玥樱说。

“OK.”Fadi说。
