graduate school.

you!

a lot of better field for me.I've always

preferred chemistry to physics.

soony--I haven't decided yet,but probably medical

research.

laurance--Well,you've got some years of hard study

ahead of you.

soony--I know it.

“功课”解。又如：She always found school difficult.

5）It is to me=It is an interesting field to me.他的朋友说，

sounds like而他说it is,语气肯定。is要重读。

8）prefer..to...：喜欢（前者）甚于后者。

9）ahead of you:在你的前面。
