Tony请Tina谈谈她受教育的情况。原来，Tina是名牌大学的硕士毕业生，而且所学专业是经济法，居然没有选择有“钱”途的律师职业，而成了英语教师。
Tony: Tina, can you tell me a bit more about your education?
Tina: Certainly. I graduated from University of Maryland in 1999. I have a Professional Master’s degree in Economic Laws.
Tony: So, does that mean you can have a career as a legal consultant for a large company if you want?
Tina: I could, but somehow I end up teaching English in China. Occasionally I teach a course in law.
Tony: Do you find your education helpful for your teaching profession now?
Tina: Absolutely. The writing skills I have apply to my writing course. And the oral presentation skills that I obtained as a legal consultant are also great for teaching oral English. These skills are a must in English teaching.

托尼：你能告诉我更多有关你受教育的情况吗？
蒂娜：当然了。我1999年毕业于玛丽兰德大学，我是经济法学硕士。
托尼：噢，这就是说你可以大公司的法律顾问，如果你想做的话？
蒂娜：我本可以的，但是由于一些原因，我最终选择了在中国教英语，偶尔我们也教一下法律课。
托尼：你觉得你所接受的教育对你现在的教师职业有帮助吗？
蒂娜：那当然了。我学习的写作技巧应用到写作课程中，我在做法律顾问时所获得的口头表达技巧对于英语口语教学也是很有帮助的，这些技巧对于英语教学是必须的。
