什麼？爲什麼？

A: Well, our public schools here are not very good and private school are just too expensive. I have been reading up on home schooling and it has a lot of advantages.

嗯，我們這裏的公立學校不是很好，私立學校又很貴。我讀了有關家庭教育的書，發現有很多的優勢。

B: Like what? I think that by doing something like that we would be isolating our children from social interaction.

比如？我覺得這麼做的話會讓我們的孩子很孤立，不會社交。

A: Well, first of all, I would be able to teach them everything they learn in school in a more relaxed and fun way. I also think that having a one-on-one class is much better since you can focus more on his or her strengths or weaknesses.

嗯，首先，我能夠用一種更加輕鬆和好玩的方式教他們在學校裏學到的一切。我還覺得一對一的教學方式可以有爭對性發現他或者她的優缺點。

我想我們的父母都不會同意的。

A: I will bring it up over Sunday brunch.

我會在週末的早午餐的時候跟他們提的。

B: Good luck with that!
