We offer a wide range of options on the foundation course, but you can only take five courses. What have you selected?
在基础课程上，我们提供了很多选择，但你只能选五门课程。你选了哪些课？

Don't you want to do maths, or computer programming, for example?

M: Then what about the art and design?

W: That will be good for my graphics.
女：这会帮助我在计算机上制图。
I need that to produce games, and CAD too- I've never done CAD before.
我需要这些来制作游戏。选CAD也是如此，我还从来没用过CAD呢。
M: Right. They've got some powerful packages in the computer graphics and CAD offices. You'll enjoy that.
男：好的。计算机制图和CAD办公室有一些很强大的CAD软件包。你会喜欢的。
Then English. I know your English is very good, but why did you take it?
然后是英语。我知道你的英语很棒，但是你为什么还选呢？
