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

0:42
learning new vocabulary, the more you can visualize or make a mental picture of the

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
