hi everybody my name is alicia in this

lesson i'm going to talk about some

education related expressions i've

broken this lesson into two parts

i'm going to introduce some past tense

expressions you can use to talk about

education that's finished

and some future tense and present tense

expressions you can use

to talk about your education plans and

continuing education

so let's get started i want to begin

this lesson

with past tense expressions so these are

things you can use to explain your

education

education that has finished you're done

it's complete we use

this expression to talk about high

school

and college or university level

education that's done

the pattern is i graduated from

high school or university or college

in a year so for example

i graduated from high school in 2000. i

graduated from

college in 2006 for example

so the difference between university and

college in general there's not a

difference

in american english we tend to use

college a little bit more

but both are okay to use you might hear

british english speakers use

university a little bit more often than

college

so we only use these for high school and

for university level education

we do not use these or this pattern

rather

for education lower than high school so

please keep this in mind

here we'll also see in past tense we're

using

the verb graduate in past tense it's

graduated graduated

don't forget this from i graduated

from high school i graduated from

university

you can also instead of saying

university you can include the name of

your university so i graduated from

abc university in year or i graduated

from abc

college in year if you want to be very

specific

so this expresses the completion point

of your higher education usually

when you want to explain your studies

you can use a couple of these patterns

it depends on what you would like to

emphasize

we have these two expressions major

i've used it as a verb here to major in

something

and to minor in something let's look at

this verb form first

to major in something is to make

something make a subject your main

focus of study your major focus of study

so this is like the number one thing

you're studying at

university usually so we use major and

minor

to talk about your university studies we

don't use these

in high school because generally in high

school education

we're learning lots of just general

information and it's not

so focused we don't choose something

necessarily in high school

so we use these to talk about our major

and our minor

studies so in u.s universities we

commonly have the ability to choose a

major as

i explained your main focus of study and

your minor so your minor is like your

secondary focus of study

so maybe you want to have like a sub

specialization

another small specialization so you have

a main specialization a main focus

and then this other kind of smaller

focus

so as i've said we can use these as

verbs or as nouns i've used major as a

verb here i

majored in subject is the pattern we use

with a verb here if you want to use it

as a noun

we'll use it with the verb is in this

case past tense my minor

was subject so we could change these to

use either form for example

my major was subject i minored in

subject so either pattern is fine they

mean the same

thing when i say subject here it's

usually like a broad

topic so for example i majored in

english i majored

in chemistry my minor was business

communication

so it's usually something that's kind of

a big topic that's easy for lots of

people to quickly understand

then if you want to talk about your

degree

specifically the degree that you

received when you graduated or when you

finished your coursework

you can use one of these expressions so

we're using this have to mean this is

something a degree that you

currently own you currently possess this

thing

so after four years of study in most u.s

universities

in a lot of universities around the

world actually

we receive a bachelor's degree so that's

commonly

um called like a ba for like bachelor of

arts or

bs bachelor of science so i have a

bachelor's degree in subject

i've got degree in parentheses here

because sometimes people

choose to drop the word degree because

we understand this word bachelors

degree i have a bachelor's in i don't

know

english language for example so i have a

bachelor's in

mathematics i have a bachelor's in

engineering whatever your subject is

the next level here is masters masters

so

masters is part of graduate school

programs

so after you complete a bachelor's

degree after finishing

four years of study you can choose to

continue to the next level of study

master's degree programs are usually

about two years

so studying another topic in depth like

a very specific topic

for two more years and completing

coursework

will get you hopefully a master's degree

so a master's degree

in subject i have a master's degree in

architecture

finally if you choose to continue

studying you can get a

phd a phd so a phd is the highest level

of education

we do not use degree with this

expression

i have a phd in medicine i have a phd

in communications whatever your subject

is

phds are done after master's degrees

and they usually require another three

years depending on your course of study

so bachelor's degree master's degree phd

those are the three types of degree we

talk about

okay though if you have some other

type of certification some other kind of

qualification that did not come from a

university

or it's not a degree this is a sentence

you might use to

express that here we use the same have

we'll use this word i have a

certification

in skill so certifications

commonly are for a specific skill

something you are able to do

it could in some cases perhaps be a

subject

but we often see certifications for a

specific type of

skill so we'll use certification which

a certification is a document or it's

some kind of recognition

that you have achieved a level of

mastery

in this skill so you can say i have a

certification in skill

and finish the sentence there that's

okay or i have a certification in

skill from a school or some other

organization

another good keyword to know for

something like this and maybe

for other things here too is this word

vocational school

vocational school so the root of

vocational is this word

vocation so vocation means job or

profession

so a vocational school is kind of like a

university or a college

but it's a type of school students

attend

to learn like a specific skill so maybe

there's like an electrician's vocational

school or like some kind of construction

vocational school

or maybe like a computer or computer

related vocational school

so some people choose instead of going

to

a like large university or a large

college

they choose to focus on one skill and

they attend a vocational

school this is the word you can use to

describe that

so for example i have a certification

in english teaching from abc vocational

school for example

or i have a certification in first aid

from abc organization so you can talk

about many different skills with

something like this

so these are all kind of past tense ways

to talk about your education the things

that you have achieved

so things that are complete in other

words

so with this in mind i want to continue

on

to some present tense and future tense

expressions

here you'll notice i'm going to use the

progressive tense

for a couple of these to talk about

future and ongoing

education related topics first let's

look at this

i'm graduating from in

year so this is for students who

are currently in school you are in

school now this could be high school it

could be university or college it could

perhaps be a vocational school as well

i'm using the progressive tense here

because we can use the progressive tense

to talk about

an action in the future that we have a

high level of certainty of

so for example if you know you're going

to graduate

in the year 2023 you can say i'm

graduating

in 2023. here i have

from in parentheses i had it over here

from with high school from university or

college

i've included this here because you can

say

if you like i'm graduating from high

school in 2023

or i'm graduating from university in

2023.

you can say that i included it in

parentheses here because

many times when you're speaking with

someone they can guess

which level of education you are based

on your appearance

if you are a high school student perhaps

it's easy to see that you're studying in

high school right now

so you can choose to say this if you

like i'm graduating from high school

in 2023 if you want to be specific

you could change this if you like i'm

going to graduate in 2023 that's fine as

well

this is just the one that i chose for

this lesson you cannot say however i

will graduate in 2023 or

if you do it's gonna sound a little less

natural than i'm going to

so i'm graduating or i'm going to

graduate in 2023

sounds the best i recommend that pattern

okay

so let's compare this or rather let's

add to this

the present tense expressions for your

focuses of study

so over here we looked at how to express

your completed education i explained we

can use

major and minor as verbs and as nouns

so here i talked about using in and

was for past tense expressions we can

keep

the same idea here and just make it a

present tense statement

so if you are a student in university or

student in college

now you can say my major is

art my major is mathematics my major is

biochemistry

you can use my minor is the same idea

if you want to use these as verbs you

can say

for example i'm majoring in

i'm majoring in this is another thing

that you can say if you like

i'm majoring in

subject i feel however that

at least when i was a student i tended

to use this pattern

more i tended to use it more as a noun

than a verb and then i'll actually use

it in verb form more

for past tense expressions that's my

personal preference i think

both are correct those are both fine to

use i think i would probably use

this form a little more often okay

then if you want to be very specific

about your degree

which degree you're currently studying

for you can use something like this

i'm studying for my bachelor's

in subject i'm studying for my master's

in

subject i'm studying for my phd in

subject so again we're using these same

degree related vocabulary words and

again you can choose to include degree

after bachelor's or master's

in this expression i'm studying for my

bachelor's degree

in subject i'm studying for my master's

degree in subject is okay

i'm studying four so this progressive

tense

shows that this is something that is

ongoing for us

four shows us the purpose i'm studying

for

my master's degree so don't use two here

i'm studying

four it shows us the purpose the aim

okay

then i want to include a couple more

points down here

um for maybe depending on your situation

you might have something a little bit

different from

maybe typical studies so if you are

researching something like it's perhaps

a little bit

in an education setting maybe a little

bit in like a business setting

depending on your your situation you can

use this

i'm researching pattern i'm researching

plus a topic so some people choose to

remain in a university

setting to do their research so you can

still use this even if you're not a

student like i'm

researching communications in the usa

or i'm researching data use on the

internet

so again we use this ing the progressive

form

to show that it's continuing this is

something that's going on

now i'm researching topic finally

these last two example sentences are for

people who perhaps are thinking about

their studies

so if you are a high school student or

if you're a junior high school student

maybe

you can use expressions like these i

want

to study subject i want to study subject

i want to study english i want to study

mathematics i want to study science i

want to study chemistry

so you can talk about the things you are

interested in

and maybe after high school the kinds of

things you want to learn more about

one more example i'm interested in

subject so i'm interested in art history

i'm interested in music i'm interested

in

whatever it is that you're interested in

so you can use these two

to talk about maybe what you would like

to study in the future

when you get to university or to college

what do you want to do

so i'm interested in subject i want to

study

subject so use these two kind of future

future forward thinking ideas to talk

about

your goals for your studies in the

future okay so i want to finish today's

lesson by looking at the

specific words that we use for school

years so

in high schools and in universities

throughout the us

we typically have four years that are

required for schooling

and for every year of schooling we have

a specific

word for the students in that year so

first year students second year students

third and fourth

each have a specific word we use so

the word we use for first year students

in high school and in university is

freshmen freshmen you'll notice this

word

ends in man yes but we use this to talk

about

male and female students so all

first-year students are called fresh

men in the plural form fresh men

singular form is fresh

man i'm a freshman they are freshmen so

freshmen freshmen second year students

are called

sophomore students sophomore the

pronunciation here is

sophomore so in the plural form we say

sophomores sophomores a group of

sophomores or i'm a sophomore

third year students are called junior

junior students

i'm a junior student they are juniors

junior students are third year students

fourth year students are called senior

students

he's a senior she's a senior they are

seniors

so these are the four words you'll hear

quite commonly

to talk about our your age or your level

of schooling

in high school or in university so you

can use these too

it'll sound quite natural to use these

actually of course if you prefer you can

use first second third fourth year

that's fine

as well but this is something that you

can use a little bit in your day-to-day

life

especially if you're studying abroad

this will sound quite natural

okay so with that that's a quick

introduction to some

education related expressions that you

can use i hope that this was helpful for

you and i hope that you found something

that you can use

to talk about your education but if you

have any questions or if there's

something else you would like to know

how to say to explain your education

想从第一课开始说真正的英语

在

englishclass101.com 注册您的免费终身帐户 大家好，我的名字是

本课中的艾丽西亚，我将谈论一些

与教育相关的表达我已将

本课分为两部分

我 我将介绍一些过去时

表达，你可以用来谈论

已经完成的教育，

以及一些将来时和现在时

表达，你可以

用来谈论你的教育计划和

继续教育

所以让我们开始吧，我想从过去开始

这

节课 紧张的表达，所以这些

是你可以用来解释你的

教育的

东西 已经完成的教育 你已经完成了

它是完整的 我们用

这个表达来谈论已经完成的高中

和大学或大学水平的

教育 模式是我从

高中或大学毕业 或

大学一年，例如

我在 2000 年从高中毕业。

例如，我在 2006 年从大学毕业，

所以差异 e 一般来说，大学和大学之间

美式英语没有区别 我们倾向于多使用

大学，

但两者都可以使用 你可能会听到说

英国英语的人使用

大学的频率比大学多一些，

所以我们只将这些用于 高中

和大学教育

我们不使用这些或这种模式，

而

不是用于高中以下的教育，所以

请记住这一点在

这里我们也会看到过去时我们

使用

过去时的动词graduate 它是

graduategraded

不要忘记我

从高中毕业我从大学毕业

你也可以不说

大学你可以包括

你的大学的名字所以我从

abc 大学毕业或者我

从 abc

大学毕业如果你想 非常

具体，

因此这表示

了您的高等教育的完成点，通常

当您想解释您的学习时，

您可以使用其中一些

模式 关于你想

强调的内容，

我们有这两个表达主要

我在这里用它作为动词来主修

某事

和辅修某事让我们先看看

这个动词形式

主修某事是使

某事成为一个主题 你的主要

学习重点 你的主要学习重点

所以这就像

你通常在大学学习的第一件事

所以我们用专业和

次要

来谈论你的大学学习 我们

在高中不使用这些，因为通常在高中

学校教育

我们学习的只是一般

信息，而且不是

那么集中我们

在高中时不一定要选择一些东西，

所以我们用这些来谈论我们的专业

和次要

学习，所以在我们的大学里，我们

通常有选择的能力 一个

专业，正如

我解释的你的主要学习重点和

你的次要，所以你的次要就像你的

次要学习重点，

所以也许你想拥有一个子

专业，

另一个小专业，所以你有

一个主要专业化一个主要焦点

，然后是另一种较小的

焦点，

所以正如我所说，我们可以将它们

用作动词或名词

在这里，如果您想将其

用作名词，

我们将与动词一起使用，在这种

情况下是过去时，我的未成年人

是主语，因此我们可以将其更改为

使用任何一种形式，例如，

我的专业是主语，我在主语中辅修，

因此两种模式 很好，

当我在这里说主题时，它们的意思是一样的。它

通常是一个广泛的

话题，例如，我主修

英语，我

主修化学，我的副修是商务

沟通，

所以这通常是

一个大话题，对很多

人来说都很容易 快速

理解如果你想具体谈谈你

的学位，

你毕业或完成课程时获得的学位，

你可以使用这些表达之一，所以

我们使用这个必须意味着这

是一个

你目前拥有的学位你目前拥有这个

东西，

所以在世界各地很多大学的大多数美国大学学习了四年后，

实际上

我们获得了学士学位，所以这

通常

被称为

文学学士学位或

学士学位 科学所以

我有学士学位我在括号里有学位

因为有时人们会

选择放弃学位这个词因为

我们理解这个词

学士学位我有学士学位我不懂

英语例如所以我 拥有数学

学士学位

我拥有工程学学士学位

无论你的科目

是下一个级别 这里是硕士 硕士

所以

硕士是研究生

课程的一部分

所以

在完成四年学习后完成学士学位后

，你可以选择

继续攻读 下一级学习

硕士学位课程通常

大约需要两年时间，

因此要深入学习另一个主题，

例如非常具体的主题

c 再读两年，完成

课程

将使您有希望获得硕士学位，

因此

获得学科硕士学位 我最终获得了建筑学硕士学位

如果您选择继续

学习，您可以获得

博士学位，因此博士学位是最高

水平 教育

我们不使用这个

表达的学位

我有医学博士学位我

有传播学博士学位无论你的学科是什么

博士学位都是在硕士学位后完成的

，通常需要另外

三年，这取决于你的学习课程，

所以学士学位硕士学位博士学位

这些是我们谈论的三种学位类型

好吧，但是如果您拥有

其他类型的

认证，则不是来自大学的其他类型的资格，

或者不是学位，这是

您可以用来

表达我们在这里使用的句子 同样，

我们将使用这个词我有

技能认证，所以认证

通常是针对特定技能的

，你可以做到

在某些情况下，可能是一个

主题，

但我们经常看到

特定类型

技能的认证，因此我们将使用认证

，认证是一份文件，或者是

某种认可

，表明您已经

掌握

了该技能的水平，因此您可以 说我有

技能认证

并在那里完成句子

没关系，或者我

有学校或其他

组织的技能认证

另一个好的关键字来了解

类似这样的事情，也许

对于其他事情这里也是这个词

职业学校

职业 学校所以职业的根源

是这个词

职业所以职业意味着工作或

职业

所以职业学校有点像

大学或学院，

但它是学生

参加学习特定技能的学校类型所以

也许就像电工的职业

学校或喜欢某种建筑

职业学校，

或者可能喜欢计算机或

与计算机相关的职业学校，

所以有些人选择我 他们选择专注于一项技能并上职业学校，而不是

去类似的大型大学或大型

学院

，

这是您可以用来描述的词

，例如，我拥有

abc 职业学校的英语教学证书

例如，

或者我有

abc 组织的急救证书，所以你可以

用这样的东西谈论许多不同的技能，

所以这些都是过去时态的方式

来谈论你的教育

你已经取得的成就，

所以事情是完整的

换句话说，考虑到这一点，我想在这里

继续一些现在时和将来时的

表达方式

，你会注意到我将使用

进行时态

来讨论其中的一些，首先让我们讨论

未来和正在进行

的教育相关话题

看看这个

我今年毕业

所以这是给

目前在校的学生你现在在

学校这可能是高中

可能是大学或大学 法律上它也

可能是一所职业学校，

我在这里使用进行时，

因为我们可以使用进行时

来谈论

未来我们有

高度确定性的行动

，例如，如果你认识你' 我将

在 2023 年毕业，你可以说我将于 2023 年

毕业

。在这里，

我在括号里有，我

从大学或学院的高中毕业的，

我把它包括在这里，因为你可以

说

如果你喜欢 我

2023年高中毕业或者2023年

大学毕业

。

你可以说我把它放在

括号里，因为

很多时候当你和别人交谈时，

他们可以猜出

你的教育水平

如果你是一名高中生，你的外表也许

很容易看出你现在正在读

高中，

所以你可以选择这样说，如果你

愿意，我将

在 2023 年高中毕业，如果你想具体说明

你 可以改变这一点 如果你喜欢我

将在 2023 年毕业，

那也可以

去，

所以我要毕业或者我要

在 2023 年毕业

听起来是最好的，我推荐这种模式

好吧，

所以让我们比较一下，或者更确切地说，让我们

为你的学习重点添加现在时表达，

所以在这里我们看看如何 为了表达

您完成的教育，我解释说我们

可以将

主要和次要用作动词和名词，

所以在这里我谈到了使用 in

和 is 用于过去时表达，我们可以

在这里保持相同的想法并使其成为

现在时态陈述，

所以如果您是 一个大学生或

大学生

现在你可以说我的专业是

艺术我的专业是数学我的专业是

生物化学

你可以使用我的未成年人

如果你想将这些用作动词你

可以说

例如我专业 在

我主修 这是另一件事

，你可以说如果你喜欢

我主修科目，

但我觉得

至少当我还是学生的时候，我更

倾向于使用这种模式，

我更倾向于将它用作名词而

不是动词，然后 实际上，我会

更多地以动词形式将它

用于过去时表达，这是我

个人的偏好我认为

两者都是正确的，它们都可以

使用我想我可能会

更频繁地使用这种形式

关于你的学位

你目前正在攻读哪个学位

你可以使用这样的东西

我正在攻读我的

学士学位我正在攻读我的

硕士学位我正在攻读我的

博士学位所以我们再次使用 这些与

学位相关的词汇，

你可以再次选择在这个表达中包括

学士学位或硕士学位之后的学位

我正在攻读我

的学科学士学位我正在攻读我

的学科硕士学位

我正在学习四个所以这个 进步

时态

表明这对我们来说

正在进行中

四个向我们展示我正在攻读硕士学位的目的

，

所以不要在这里使用两个

我正在学习

四个 它向我们展示了目的

目标可以，

然后我想包括

这里还有几点，

嗯，也许取决于你的情况，

你可能会有一些

不同于

典型研究的东西，所以如果你正在

研究类似的东西，它可能

在教育环境中可能

有点像在商业环境中可能有点像

根据你的情况，你可以

使用这个

我正在研究的模式，我正在

研究一个主题，所以有些人选择

留在大学

环境中进行研究，所以

即使你不是学生，你仍然可以使用它

我正在

研究美国的通信

或者我正在研究互联网上的数据

使用所以我们再次使用渐进式

形式

来表明它正在继续这是正在

发生的

事情我正在研究顶部 最后，

最后两个例句是

为那些可能正在

考虑学习的人准备的，

所以如果你是一名高中生或

初中生，

也许

你可以使用这样的表达我想

学习我想学习的科目 学习科目

我想学习英语 我想学习

数学 我想学习科学 我

想学习化学

这样你就可以谈论你

感兴趣的

事情

了 例如，我对学科感兴趣，

所以我对艺术史

感兴趣

将来

上大学或大学时学习

你想做什么

所以我对学科感兴趣我想

学习

学科所以用这两种未来

未来的前瞻性思维来谈谈

你的学习目标

将来会死，好吧，所以我想

通过查看

我们在学年中使用的特定单词来完成今天的课程，

因此

在我们整个高中和大学

中，

我们通常有四年

的学校教育

和每一年的学校教育所需 我们对那一年的学生有

一个特定的

词，所以

一年级学生二年级学生

第三和四年级

每个学生都有一个特定的词，所以

我们用于高中和大学一年级学生的词

是

你会注意到的新生 这个

词

以man结尾，是的，但我们用这个来谈论

男女学生，所以所有

一年级学生都被称为

复数形式的fresh men，fresh men

单数形式是fresh

man，我是新生，他们是新生，所以

新生新生第二 一年级的学生

被称为

大二学生大二

这里的发音是

大二所以在复数形式中我们说

大二二年级一群

大二学生或者我是大二学生

第三年 r 学生被称为初中生

我是初中生 他们是

初中生 初中生是三年级学生

四年级学生被称为高

年级学生

他是前辈 她是前辈 他们是

前辈

所以这四个词你会经常听到

谈论我们的年龄或

高中或大学的受教育程度，以便您

也

可以使用这些听起来很自然

当然，如果您愿意，可以

使用第一第二第三第四

年也可以 但这是你

可以在日常生活中使用的东西，

特别是如果你在国外学习，

这听起来很自然，

所以这是

对一些

你可以使用的教育相关表达的快速介绍，

我希望 这对你有帮助

，我希望你能找到一些

可以

用来谈论你的教育的东西，但是如果你

有任何问题或者
