Lesson7 Universities 1

Nearly 2 half of all Americans go on to college 3 when they graduate 4 from highschools. Some colleges 5 are small, with only a few 6 hundred students, but someof the big state 7 universities are huge 8, with up to 60,000 students. Thereare more than 2,600 universities in the USA, and nearly all colleges haveboth men and women students.

You can study many interesting subjects at college, in short or longcourses, but if you want to get a degree 10, you have to study for at leastfour years. Classes start in September and go on to early June with a breakin the middle.

In Britain 12, you can get a degree at university 13, or in some of the manycolleges of further 14 education 15. There are 42 universities in Britain. Thereare also many colleges in Britain that teach English as 11 a foreign 16 language 17.

Some have short courses 9 (a few weeks or months), and some have one- or two-year courses.

University classes start in September and go on until 18 mid-June with twobreaks, one at Christmas, and one at Easter 19. Most degrees 20 take three years,but some take four.


大学

接近一半的美国中学毕业生到大学继续求学。一些小的学院仅有几百个学生,但一些大的州立大学着实很大,学生多达六万。美国有两千六百多所大学,且几乎所有大学男女生兼收。

在大学你能学习很多有意思的课程,时间可长可短,但如果你想拿学位的话,至少要花四年时间。大学九月开学,持续到下年六月初,中间有一段假期。

在英国,你可从大学或为数众多的继续教育学院获得学位。英国有四十二所大学。有许多大学把英语作为一门外语教授。有些大学有短期课程(几星期或几个月),另有一些大学有一到两年的课程。

大学从九月到次年六月中旬授课,圣诞节和复活节放假。大多数学位要求三年学习时间,有些要求四年。
