【一起闲话英语】你喜欢的科目-School Subjects

 Arienne, Norway

speaker In school, when I was younger, I had a bunch of subjects, but my favorite subjects were maybe language subjects and math. I like numbers and I like learning¹ languages. The subject I was not very good in was history and geography, basically² just because I didn't like them very much.

 

Lupe, Mexico / United States

speaker My favorite school subject was always English. I loved to read and write so I used to really like getting to do essay assignments because I could write on for hours. You know my friends would even tease³ me that I would put my head down and there I went to write and write and write. I can write all the time and I love reading new books. When I finish one I already have the next one all set. The one thing I didn't like about the English class was that we had to do book reports. I really didn't like book reports because most of the time I ended up reading a book I was assigned⁴ and didn't really like therefore it wasn't an enjoyable assignment.

 

Fred, Canada

speaker OK, my favorite subjects in school. Well, when I was in high school, I loved physics and math and chemistry but then I changed my mind quite drastically⁵ I became to love topics such as humanities⁶, psychology⁷, philosophy and subjects like those. The subjects that I hated the most were probably French language subjects, English language subjects, anything that dealt with language, I did not like at all.

 

Jeff, Canada

speaker My favorite subject: my favorite subject is geography and I remember one year, I had a geography teacher named Mr.Hall and he was a great big tall man with a long grey beard and a great big belly⁸ and he looked like Santa Claus and it was lots of fun always learning about the world and the cities and the countries from Mr. Hall, so geography's my favorite subject.

 

Shibika, India

speaker My favorite subject would be biology, you know, because I have a lot of interest in the human body and I like to study, yeah, about it. It's really interesting. And my grades were always high in biology so.

 

Rebecca, Australia

speaker The subjects I was good at school was the physical education, which I loved because we played a lot of sports all the time. I was also good at computers.
