Transcript

Hi, I’m professor Engle. I really hope you’ll consider coming with us to London this summer. 我认为这次出国留学机会的一个特点是我们只离开12到14天,所以你可以保留你的暑期工作. We stay in apartments in London. 我们看到了所有的主要景点,所以你不必每天收拾行李,坐公共汽车. It’s also a foreign travel experience but with no language barrier. So, I think that is what makes this distinctive and I hope to see you.

如果你在韦德体育app官网的网站上申请,你可能会得到很多奖学金. Typically, 截止日期是3月1日,在你们开始旅行之前,有一些关于你自己的问题和一些论文问题. 我建议你在奥克兰的网站上申请尽可能多的奖学金. An if you’re an Oakland University Honors College student, 你可以通过韦德体育app官网荣誉学院获得额外的资金,他们在网站上有一个单独的奖学金申请,但一定要尽可能多地申请,祝你在旅行中获得奖学金好运.

We saw a lot of old cathedrals and palaces and archives and museums. I got to see the Church of War rooms on my free day. We got to see the Lambeth archives. We got to see a lot of just old Bibles, old artifacts. I saw an original Benjamin Franklin signature. So yeah, if you’re thinking about going to London with Dr. Engle, he is a really cool guy. I think you’ll really like the trip. I highly suggest it.

So, Dr. 坦率地说,恩格尔是我遇到过的最有趣的导游. Like my mom’s best friend was a huge history person, Dr. Engle takes the cake. 你浏览了所有这些伦敦的网站,他只知道一些最微小的细节,就像复活节彩蛋一样,你会停下来看他所谓的丰富多彩的评论, 这真是太搞笑了,太有趣了,你从他那里学到的东西比从某个坐在房间里的家伙那里学到的要多.

Preparation was pretty easy. We met like once or twice a week for a couple of weeks. Then we headed out to London.

Hi everyone. 我叫雅各布,去年夏天我有机会和恩格尔教授一起去伦敦, England, 我不得不说,这不仅是我这一年的亮点之一,也是我整个学术经历的亮点之一. As an English enthusiast and major, 能够去像威斯敏斯特教堂这样的地方,去看一些我最喜欢的作家、诗人和作家的葬礼或纪念馆,这是一次非常酷的经历,我真的很喜欢这样做,我非常推荐和恩格尔教授一起去任何地方旅行.

So, it’s super simple. You just go. It doesn’t have to be complicated. And study abroad can be easy.
