新托福听写训练 第21期

（单词翻译）

M:Janet! Nice to see you again. Ready to plan you schedule for next semester?

W:Yeah, I've already looked at the list of classes. And I hope to take business law and intro to finance¹ this coming semester.

M:That sounds good. And it is always best to plan the courses in your major first and then fit other requirements on the elective then.

W:I'd like to take one other business course, but I am not sure which one?

M:How about an economics² course?

W:I took one this past semester and got a lot out of it.

M:Oh, that's right I remember you telling me about it. Well, let's see what else you need?

W:I need another English course and was thinking about taking a poetry class.

M:Let me see, the prerequisite³ for all the poetry classes is English composition.

W:I took that my first semester.

M:Well, modern American poetry fits in your schedule

W:With Doctor Turner?

M:Um-huh…

W:That'd be great! I've heard all about her from my roommate, the English major.

M:This is shaping up to be a pretty good semester for you, what else do you need to take?

W:I have to take one more math course but I have been putting it off. I've heard that calculus⁴ is really tough.

M:It is! But you may want to take it and just take these four courses this semester.

W:That's not a bad idea! I just hope it doesn't affect my grade point average!
