本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛最近帮孩子复习功课，9年级science中的一章，Cell Growth and Reproduction.
我看到这章Key Terms中列出的单词，查金山词霸列出来帮孩子记忆。我发现许多
词我连中文都不知道含义。比较糟糕的是这里教材是学校发的，用完收回，孩子
很少带书回家，想督促他都不容易。
国内初中毕业的词汇量北京教材1000，9年级相当于国内的初三，英语上的差距
是巨大的。多数孩子不那么用功，希望在国内准备移民的家长有思想准备。移民
过来不光对家长是挑战，对上中学的孩子也是巨大的挑战，要充分估计到困难。

这都什么呀，是英语吗？！ -pandora(Sarah); 2001-7-9 (#125566@0)
It's fairly easy to pick up those kinds of terminologies, they are mostly composed of prefixes and suffixes according to certain rules. I know 85% of the vocabulary because I have taken some courses in medical school, -numnum(numnum); 2001-7-9 {73} (#125594@0)
but I never could get to use them, so don't worry, you won't need them.

binary? -goodbaby(小宝); 2001-7-9 (#125597@0)

It's just that for a while, I was interested in medical schools and wanted to get a M.D -numnum(numnum); 2001-7-9 (#125607@0)

Interesting! Is it very difficult to be a MD in the US/Canada? Do you know how long it will take? I never saw a Chinese from mainland to be a real MD in the US. Most are from HK or TW -guest:; 2001-7-9 (#125609@0)

It's extremely difficult. I took MCAT test, which is the hardest test I have ever seen(trust me, it's much harder than GRE). -numnum(numnum); 2001-7-9 {362} (#125617@0)
It requires volunteer experience in North America. But the good thing is that it allows people from all backgrounds to get in. The investment is gonna be huge, in US usually it's at least 30,000 bucks a year just for tuition, and it takes at least 5 years just to finish the in-school education, that is before you take another 2-4 years residence in hospitals.

thanks for your reply. That's also what I found out. Just hope my children may accomplish it. -guest:; 2001-7-9 (#125630@0)

I'm sure they will, they stand a much better chance than the first gen immigrants. I saw lots of very very young chinese students in medical schools. -numnum(numnum); 2001-7-9 (#125634@0)

I know thirteen words. -killer(kevin); 2001-7-9 (#125599@0)
大多数字典上都有. 很多在GRE参考书里面出现过. -zjoy(Joy); 2001-7-9 (#125603@0)
我随便问了一个学生物的，他90%都认识 -uid(miracle); 2001-7-9 (#125745@0)
大学生们，你们问问自己初三时会不会这些词。这些不是为学生物的大学生或考G的研究生准备的，只是初三课本一章中的部分词汇。 -guest:guest; 2001-7-9 (#125765@0)

惭愧，幸好我们家住一楼。 -hearts(hearts); 2001-7-9 (#125801@0)
初二学植物时学过大部分单词的中文意思，初三学动物时就全学过了。 -littleboat(小舟); 2001-7-9 (#125820@0)
初三时，中文意思基本都懂。不过英文嘛…… -fionah(fiona); 2001-7-9 (#125828@0)
这没什么惭愧的啊。要不怎么有母语和外语的分别呢。咱们初中时也知道这些名词呀。记得玉米糊也说过，他有半年没来看他的小孩，就会冒出来不少他不懂的词。 -guest:; 2001-7-9 (#125857@0)

this is not a fair representation, I only know about 60% if not less -slimpiggy(Aiya Kar-Ching); 2001-7-9 (#125969@0)
呵呵。。。碰巧我是学生物的，英文懂一半，中文我全懂。 -danielli(热干面); 2001-7-10 (#126577@0)
