True English fluency means being able to understand news articles and being able to talk about a wide variety of subjects.

Let's learn some advanced vocabulary and let's practice the American accent by reading a news article.

You will have a chance to repeat after me to make sure you're pronouncing the words correctly

and that you're stressing the right words and that your English has the write melody and intonation.

And then at the end, there will be a fill in the blank quiz to find out how many of the new words you remember.

This article is from the Los Angeles Times.

The title of the article is The Most Lucrative Majors?

Some Community College Grads Can Out-earn Elite University Peers.

The article contains some very useful words.

It talks about the salaries that university students make after they graduate.

Students who graduate from the top universities don't necessarily make the most money.

Let's look at the headline again and let's learn the vocabulary.

The most lucrative majors.

What does lucrative mean?

Lucrative means producing a lot of money, profitable.

For example, you can say, the real estate market can be very lucrative if you invest wisely.

Or you can say, he has a lucrative business.

So the most lucrative majors means the university majors, the things that you specialize in, the subjects that you major in.

Which majors paid the most money?

And do you know the difference between a university and a community college?

A community college is a two-year college that offers courses to local residence

and it's typically at a lower cost than a four-year college or university.

In the United States, many students choose to attend a community college before transferring to a four-year university.

So, the first two years of their college education is at a community college and then when they transfer to a university,

they only have two more years left.

They don't have to start from the beginning.

So it's still a four-year education and you get your diploma from the university.

But for the first two years, you saved a lot of money because you went to a community college.

However, some people don't plan to transfer.

Some people just get an AA degree and that's a two-year degree.

The article says community college grads.

The word grad is a short form of graduate, meaning someone who has completed a degree.

For example, we can say a high school grad or a college grad.

The headline of the article says, some community college grads can out-earn elite university peers.

To out-earn means to earn more money than someone else.

For example, we can say, does a doctor out earn a lawyer?

Who makes more money?

Or we can say, with hard work, I was able to out earn my previous year's income.

Or you can say, I can't believe he out earns me.

I can't believe he makes more money than I do.

I work harder.

So, some community college grads can out earn elite university peers.

An elite university is a prestigious university known for its academic excellence and they're usually very difficult to get into.

For example, Harvard University or Stanford or MIT or Yale, Princeton, these are all considered elite universities.

And do you know the meaning of the word peers?

Your peers are people who are at the same age as you

or maybe at the same level at work or maybe the same educational level.

For example, you can say, the 10-year-old boy is taller than his peers.

Or, he makes more money than his peers.

He out-earns his peers.

Or we can say, this scientist is very well respected by his peers.

And that means by other scientists.

And now, let's read the headline together.

I will pause to give you a chance to repeat after me.

The most lucrative majors.

and look at the T of lucrative.

Don't say lucrative.

With an American accent, we say it like this, lucrative.

Let's say that again.

The most lucrative majors?

Some community college grads can out-earn elite university peers.

You say it.

And now let's look at the first paragraph of the article.

I will read it first and then I will explain the vocabulary and then we will read it together.

Elijah Calderon, after a year-long training program at Los Angeles Trade Technical College,

is poised to earn about $105,000 annually as a power lineman.

Once he becomes a journeyman in three to four years,

he stands to make about $165,000 and potentially much more with overtime.

Let's look at the word year-long.

Year long means lasting for the duration of a year, spanning the entire year.

For example, we can say the project was a year long effort or they planned a year long trip.

So the student Elijah just studied for one year.

It was a year long training program.

The article says that he is poised to earn about $105,000 annually as a power lineman.

Quist to means ready or prepared to do something or about to start doing something.

So when he graduates, he will start earning over $100,000 annually.

We can say with her qualifications, she is poised to take on a leadership role in the company.

Or you can say the company is poised to launch its new product in the market.

Elijah is poised to earn over $100,000 annually as a power lineman.

And this is a power lineman.

A power lineman works on electrical power lines.

You can say the power lineman worked hard to restore electricity after the storm.

And Elijah stands to make about $165,000.

And to stand to means to be likely to or to be expected to.

For example, we can say, if you invest wisely, you stand to make a big profit

or you stand to lose a lot if you don't act quickly.

He stands to make a lot more than $165,000 if he works overtime.

And overtime means extra time at work, more than the usual amount of time, more than 40 hours per week, for example.

We can say, I earned extra money by working overtime on weekends.

And the money that you make for working overtime is called overtime pay.

And make sure you stress the first word.

Don't say overtime.

You say overtime.

Overtime.

I worked overtime.

My boss asked me to work overtime.

Does your boss ever ask you to work overtime?

Okay, let's read the paragraph again.

This time I will pause to to give you a chance to repeat so that you can practice your accent.

100

Elijah Calderon, after a year-long training program at Los Angeles Trade Technical College,

101

poised to earn about $105,000 annually as a power lineman.

102

And we didn't say man, we didn't say power line man,

103

we said lineman because we stressed the first word and we reduce the A of man.

104

Let's say that again.

105

Lineman.

106

Once he becomes a journeyman in three to four years,

107

he stands to make about $165,000.

108

And potentially much more with overtime.

109

Let's Let's look at the next paragraph.

110

I will read it and then we will talk about the vocabulary.

111

He had to let go of his high school dream of attending a four-year university because of family finances,

112

but his chosen field in the community college system will propel

113

him to the top 5% of wage earners among recent California college graduates,

114

out earning many who attended the most prestigious universities in the state and the nation.

115

Let's look at to let go of.

116

He had to let go of his high school dream of attending a four-year university.

117

To let go of is to stop holding on to something.

118

You have to release it.

119

You have to forget it.

120

You have to let go of it.

121

You can say, you need to forgive him.

122

Let go of your anger.

123

You need to let go of that.

124

Or, it's important to let go of the past and move forward.

125

Let's look at the verb to propel.

126

The article says, his chosen field will propel him to the top 5% of wage earners among recent California college graduates.

127

To propel is to push forward or to cause something to move in a particular direction.

128

For example, you can say, the strong wind propelled the boat across the lake, or his ambition propelled him to success.

129

Let's look at wage earners.

130

The career that he chose propelled him to the top 5% of wage earners.

131

A wage is the money that you make from work.

132

So a wage earner is someone who earns money through employment.

133

Someone who receives a regular salary or an hourly wage.

134

As a wage earner, he relied on his job to support his family.

135

Let's look at the verb to out-earn.

136

The prefix out usually means something is larger than, more than.

137

For example, you can say to outlive.

138

To outlive someone means to live longer than someone else.

139

Or to outsmart someone, to do something more intelligent than someone else.

140

He really outsmarted me.

141

I didn't realize that he was going to do that.

142

He outsmarted me.

143

Or you can say to outperform.

144

When someone performs better than you, they outperformed you.

145

Or to outnumber.

146

For example, you can say this group outnumbers that group.

147

That means there are more people in that group.

148

They are outnumbered.

149

So to To out-earn?

150

To make more money than someone else.

151

The article says out-earn many, but many is not followed by a noun.

152

Many what?

153

Many people, many students.

154

Sometimes the noun is not necessary in this kind of construction.

155

We understand that to out-earn many means many students.

156

So, it's not necessary to always include that noun after the word many.

157

For example, you can say, this restaurant is better than many.

158

You don't have to say this restaurant is better than many other restaurants because it's understood.

159

Let's read the paragraph again so that you can practice your accent.

160

I will pause to give you a chance to repeat.

161

He had to let go of his high school dream of attending a four-year university because of family finances.

162

But his chosen field in the community college system will propel

163

him to the top 5% of wage earners among recent California college graduates.

164

And how did you pronounce that last word?

165

Did you say graduate or did you say graduate?

166

pronunciation is different depending on if it's a verb or if it's a noun.

167

In this case it's a noun so we say graduate.

168

We reduce the a graduate.

169

But if it's a verb we say to graduate.

170

Graduate.

171

He graduated.

172

The graduate graduated.

173

So let's say that again.

174

Recent California college graduates.

175

out earning many, who attended the most prestigious universities in the state and the nation.

176

And now it's time for a quick review quiz.

177
