Students from both groups study under the same roof, each selecting courses according to his or her heeds and interests.

这两组学生在统一所中学里学习，按各自的需要和兴趣选课。

I thought it was my own business and it had never occurred to me that some other individual would offer to help with my selecting the courses.

不过我完全措手不及由航空的出价后卫，但他一直很客气。我认为这是我自己的业务，并没有想到我，其他人将提供帮助我选择的课程。
