1
Equal pay is an issue that could affect many generations of Americans,
2
and since children are our future,
3
according to the song anyway,
4
I thought it would be a good idea to get their take on it.
5
So we went out on the street,
6
we asked kids to explain why they think women get paid less than men,
7
and this is what they had to say.
8
Why do you think women get paid less than men for the same jobs?
9
Girls don't work as hard as the boys.
10
What are they doing instead of working hard?
11
Doing other stuff.
12
Like what kind of other stuff?
13
Texting and running on the track.
14
Why do you think that women get paid less than men?
15
Maybe women aren't acting as they should.
16
Maybe they're acting weird, so people think that they shouldn't be treated as really as men would be.
17
How come the women make less money than men?
18
Because probably some women in California don't really have jobs.
19
Why do you think that women make less money than men?
20
I think these are very underrated because they can do more,
21
but people expect them to do less.
22
What kind of more can they do?
23
Well, a lot of people underestimate them and they could do so much more.
24
There's jobs that men can't do that women can.
25
Like what?
26
Like, they can be an actress if they want.
27
And a man can't be an actress?
28
Well, they can do whatever their heart tells them to do.
29
How come the woman gets paid less?
30
A woman might like maybe like do stuff a little bit wrong,
31
but she still gets paid less.
32
Why does she do stuff a little bit wrong?
33
Because maybe she doesn't know those stuff and maybe they didn't teach her those stuff.
34
But the guy knows that stuff?
35
Yes.
36
Do you think women are not as good at jobs as men?
37
They're very good and they work all the time like my mom. And how about Ben?
38
They work too.
39
Who works harder?
40
Mom.
41
Mom, you want to have equal rights.
42
How do you think we're going to make that happen?
43
Maybe, let's see, if we have like a good group of people to help around the world,
44
or maybe a good president who could help.
45
And who would be a good president to help with that?
46
Um, probably Donald Trump.
47
How?
48
Because he can...
49
I think he thinks of women and men the same and equal.
50
Why do you think women make less money than men for the same jobs?
51
Is this giving you a headache?
52
Why do you think that women make less money than men?
53
Well, probably because women care about shopping or the work.
54
And so you think that they're kind of slacking off at work,
55
shopping online, and that's...yeah?
56
Have you ever seen that happen?
57
No, but I think it.
58
Why do you think that women make less money than men? Because men work harder.
59
Harder in real estate and other jobs.
60
How do you know that?
61
Because my dad's a real estate agent.
62
Have you ever seen a female real estate agent?
63
Yes, I've seen a couple.
64
And you think they don't work as hard?
65
I think they slouch.
66
Why do you think Why do women make less money than men?
67
Because all the men make all the decisions and make all the rules.
68
And it's always male presidents.
69
And there's never a female president.
70
If there was a female president,
71
do you think all that would change?
72
Probably, a little bit.
73
Do you think that'll ever happen?
74
I hope so.
75
Why do you think women make less money than men for the same jobs?
76
I don't know.
77
The world is a messed up place.
78
Alex, it's serious.
79
Thanks, kids.

Why practice speaking with this video?

Engaging with the video titled "Kids Explain Why Women Are Paid Less Than Men" offers a unique opportunity to enhance your English speaking practice. The context is captivating, as it showcases children expressing their views on a significant social issue. By practicing speaking along with these clips, you can gain insights into how to articulate complex topics simply and clearly. Additionally, this type of content encourages reflective thinking and discussion, allowing for richer conversations in your English practice.

The spontaneous speech of children can help learners to grasp how everyday English is spoken informally. Practicing with this video can also aid in your journey to improve English pronunciation as you mimic the speakers' tones, intonations, and phrase structures — a method known as shadow speak or shadowspeak.

Grammar & Expressions in Context

Throughout the video, various grammar structures and expressions emerge that are essential for effective communication. Here are a few notable ones:

  • Modal Verbs: Phrases like "maybe women aren't acting as they should" illustrate the use of modal verbs to express possibility and speculation.
  • Comparative Structures: When a child states, "Mom works harder," the use of comparative adjectives is highlighted, which is crucial for making comparisons.
  • Conditional Statements: The child's idea of "if we have a good group of people" demonstrates the conditional form, pivotal for discussing cause and effect.
  • Direct Speech: The use of direct quotes, such as “because maybe she doesn’t know those stuff,” invites learners to understand how to convey thoughts and opinions clearly.

Mastering these expressions can enhance your fluency, especially in discussions about social issues, which tend to recur in everyday conversation.

Common Pronunciation Traps

While practicing with this video, pay attention to specific words and phrases that may pose pronunciation challenges:

  • “Maybe”: This word often causes learners to substitute it with other phrases, leading to miscommunication; focus on the long 'a' sound.
  • “Acting” vs. “Actual”: Distinguishing between these two can be tricky as they possess similar phonetic qualities; practice the difference in syllable emphasis.
  • “Work” and “Hard”: Native speakers may compress these consonant sounds which can be a barrier for learners aiming for clarity.

Utilizing a shadowing app can facilitate practice, allowing you to listen and repeat in real-time, enhancing your English speaking practice while tackling these pronunciation traps effectively.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
