Mike: Hi, I'm Mike from Singapore and this is ....

迈克：嗨，我是迈克，来自新加坡，这位是……

MJ: MJ from Korea.

MJ：我是MJ，来自韩国。

Mike: OK, MJ, let's talk about mistakes. Should teachers correct students grammar mistakes?

迈克：好，MJ，我们来谈谈错误。老师应该纠正学生的语法错误吗?

MJ: Yes, I think so, cause as a foreigner my English grammar is not perfect and I got a lot of corrections from American or Western teachers that I now can write a pretty good English essay.

MJ：我认为应该，因为我是外国人，我的英语语法并不是很好，美国老师或来自西方国家的老师纠正了我的很多错误，所以我现在才能写出优秀的英语作文。

Mike: Really.

迈克：真的吗?

MJ: What do you think Mike?

MJ：迈克，你的想法是什么?

Mike: I think, well if it's English class, probably yes, because we have to learn to write better, but if it is ... let's say for example, in our school, if it's class or international relations, then probably not that important. The reason is because ... well the teacher wouldn't want to do it anyway. Imagine, right, you have a hundred papers. Not only you want to mark about ... give them points on the topic and, you know, any good points that are brought up in the report. And now you have to do grammar mistakes marking for them as well. It's too much work.

迈克：我认为，如果是英语课那可能应该纠正语法，因为我们要学习并改进自己的写作，但是如果……以我们学校为例，如果是国际关系之类的课程，那可能语法并不是那么重要。因为老师也不想纠正语法。想象一下，有100份试卷要评分。你不只要对他们就主题阐述的论点进行判分，对报告中提到的好的观点进行评价。还要为他们纠正语法错误。那工作量太大了。

MJ: Too much work.

MJ：工作量的确很大。

Mike: Right. It depends on what class you're in.

迈克：对。我认为这取决于课程。

MJ: Yeah, I think so

.MJ：嗯，我同意。
