Amy: 我认为大多数人所处的环境并非真正的英语沉浸式环境。真正的沉浸式环境应该是在工作和生活中都使用英语，并与英语母语者互动。然而，很多人即使身处英语国家，也可能因为工作或家庭环境的限制，无法完全沉浸在英语环境中。例如，夫妻中一方可能在工作中使用英语，但回家后仍然使用母语交流。因此，我们应该对“沉浸式学习”抱有更现实的期望。 Curtis: 我认为真正的沉浸式环境是指在工作和生活中都使用目标语言，并充分接触该语言。然而，很多人即使住在英语国家，也可能因为接触不足而感到失望。例如，他们可能只掌握了在餐厅点餐或乘坐Uber等简单交易中使用的英语。此外，一些语言学校的课程可能更侧重于语法和考试准备，而非实际交流。因此，我认为在出国留学前，应该对可能遇到的挑战有所准备，并积极参与社交活动，以提高自己的交流能力。
