嗨大家好，我是你们的普通话老师Nana。

昨天我在给学生上课。

我给她上的是晚课，晚课就是在晚上上的课。

我们开始上课的时间是晚上七点钟，结束的时间是晚上九点钟，一共两个小时。

在上课的时候，出于好奇，好奇就是curious。

出于好奇 because I was curious。

出于好奇呢，我就问了她平时在学校需要学习几个小时。

她跟我说，早上八点她就要开始上学了，中午十一点半的时候暂停学习，开始吃午餐。

下午两点左右再开始上课，一直上到晚上十点钟才结束。

从早上八点一直到晚上十点，她不停地在学习。

在晚上，从六点左右开始，她要开始上自习。

自习就是self studies，自己学习。

所以她需要自己决定那四个小时她要学些什么内容。

她需要这样每天学习很长时间，一个星期上五天学，这可真是太辛苦了。

有时她还需要在晚上跟学校请假。

请假，就是seek leave 

请假来上我的语言课，所以她每天真是忙到不得了。

不知道听众朋友们，你们每天需要学习几个小时呢？

你的学习生活有没有像这样忙碌呢？

欢迎大家留言来告诉我哦。

Okay！那这边就是我们今天的内容了，我们下次再见吧，拜拜。

Hi everyone, I'm your Mandarin teacher Nana.

Yesterday, I was having a lesson with a student. I am having an evening class with her. 晚课 means the classes in the evening. The time was 7 in the evening when we started the class. The ending time is 9 in the evening, 2 hours in total.

While having the class, out of curiosity (because I was curious), I asked her how many hours she usually needed to study at school. She told me she had to start school at 8 in the morning. The studying pauses at 11:30 *in the afternoon, and started having lunch. Around 2 in the afternoon, the class would start again, finishing at 10 in the evening. From 8 in the morning to 10 in the evening, she keeps on studying.

In the evening, starting around 6, she needs to start the self-studies. 自习 means self-studies, studying by oneself. So, she needs to decide by herself what to study during those 4 hours. She needs to study for a long time like this every day. Going to school 5 days a week. This is really

exhausting. Sometimes, she even needs to seek leave from school. Seeking leave to come to my language class. Therefore, she truly is very busy every day.

I wonder, listeners and friends, how many hours do you guys study every day? Is your study life as busy as that? I welcome you to leave comments and let me know.  Okay! So this is the content of today. See you next time. Bye bye! 

*in Chinese, you can call it an afternoon at any time around 12:00. No need to be exactly after 12:00.
