Hello. My name is Emma, and in today's video, I am going to teach you some very, very useful

0:06

verbs we use when we talk about university. Okay? So if you're going to university, if

0:12

you're taking the TOEFL test or the IELTS test, these words are very, very important,

0:18

because they're very common and we use them all the time.

0:22

So, to teach you these verbs, I've decided to tell you a true story about a friend of

0:28

mine. My friend's name is Paul, and I'm going to tell you all about his university experience.

0:35

While I tell you this story, it can help you if you imagine it in your head. Whenever you're

0:42

learning new vocabulary, the more you can visualize or make a mental picture of the

0:48

words you're learning, the easier it will be to remember them. Okay? And, if my friend,

0:54

Paul, is watching this, I'm sorry, Paul. I'm telling some stories about you, maybe a little

0:59

personal, so I apologize in advance.

1:18

same thing and it's where... When you decide to go to university, you enroll in a class

1:24

or you enroll in multiple classes. Paul enrolled in four classes. The class we're going to

1:31

be focused on, though, is Psychology 100. Paul enrolls in Psychology 100. Okay? I can

1:40

also say: "Paul signs up for Psychology 100." So this means he's decided to take Psychology

1:47

100, and he's told the university, so now he's in the class. He's enrolled.

1:54

So, Paul, at first, was a very good student. He studied very hard. Okay? If you study hard,

2:03

it means you "hit the books". "Hit the books" means "study hard". So, after Paul enrolled
