1
Saving money.
2
The importance of learning to save.
3
Why is saving money so important?
4
There are three important benefits of saving money.
5
First, it provides security for unexpected events.
6
Second, it prepares people to make large purchases,
7
and third, it creates a secure retirement.
8
When it comes to savings,
9
everybody should be saving for emergencies.
10
Everybody should have emergency savings.
11
It should be a priority.
12
Everybody should have it, and everybody will need it.
13
What is emergency savings?
14
It is money saved for an emergency.
15
It's money saved for unexpected expenses,
16
an illness, or perhaps a loss of a job.
17
It is recommended that we all have at least six months of living expenses saved.
18
Unfortunately, most Americans don't have an emergency savings.
19
In fact, most people are living paycheck to paycheck.
20
50% of Americans can't cover a $500 unexpected expense,
21
and 45% of Americans have no savings.
22
The second reason you should be saving is for those large and needed purchases.
23
Having savings makes buying big ticket items easier and cheaper.
24
You're able to buy these needed items with cash instead of borrowing.
25
Using credit, which is borrowing,
26
to buy items is not a good idea.
27
Credit is expensive, more so it keeps you from saving.
28
In fact, one of the reasons why many Americans are struggling to save is because of credit card debt.
29
According to Experian, the average American has over $6,000 in credit card debt.
30
The third reason why you should be saving is for retirement.
31
You may not think about it now because you're young,
32
but eventually we'll all hit that age where we'll need to retire.
33
And if you're going to survive,
34
you need to have savings.
35
What about Social Security as retirement?
36
Be careful.
37
You can't depend on it,
38
and it will not be enough to survive.
39
The average benefit a person receives from Social Security is $1,200.
40
Though saving for retirement is critically important,
41
most Americans are not doing so.
42
52% of households over 55 have zero save for retirement.
43
Unfortunately, America is facing a savings crisis.
44
Most Americans over the last decade have not been saving enough.
45
Don't fall in that trap.
46
It's important for your financial security and stability to begin saving.
47
Now that you've learned the importance of saving,
48
the next step is to learn the strategies to help you save,
49
to help you save for your future and your security.

Zo oefen je met deze video

  1. Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
  2. Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
  3. Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als expense, unexpected, illness.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
