You ready?

So today, I'm going to talk about high school.
8
I think this is an interesting topic to discuss because high school is different in different countries.
9
In today's video, we'll focus on high school in America.
10
First, let's talk a little bit about the structure of high school in America.
11
Most high schools in the country include 9th,
12
10th, 11th, and 12th grade.
13
Before students start high school,
14
they attend elementary school first and then middle school second.
15
High school is like the third level of education.
16
So let me teach you some important words we use to label each year of high school.
17
People in their first year of high school,
18
ninth grade, are called freshmen.
19
People in 10th grade are called sophomores.
20
11th graders are called juniors and 12th graders are called seniors.
21
These words are important to learn because this is how native speakers refer to different years of high school.
22
So, during each school year,
23
there are two separate semesters.
24
Normally, the first semester lasts from the end of summer to the beginning of winter.
25
Then the second semester starts at the beginning of the new year and continues on until the end of spring.
26
In the traditional school system,
27
students have a long summer vacation at the end of the school year.
28
However, nowadays many schools have a year-round schedule.
29
In this system, the summer break is shorter,
30
but the other vacations like winter break and spring break are longer.
31
A lot of students prefer this system
32
because they would rather have more vacation time throughout the year instead of a really long summer break.
33
So during each semester, most students have around six different classes for six different subjects.
34
In general, most students take the same or similar classes.
35
However, some students take advanced level classes.
36
We usually call these AP classes.
37
I had a few AP classes during my time in high school and they were definitely more difficult than the regular classes.
38
I think the normal high school classes in the US aren't that hard.
39
Many of my students who live in other countries tell me
40
that their high school classes were hard and required a lot of work.
41
How about your high school classes?
42
Were they hard?
43
Another important topic to talk about is the quality of the teachers.
44
In my experience, some public school teachers are good and some are bad.
45
Honestly, I don't think I had a lot of good teachers.
46
Most of them were average or bad.
47
In private school, the quality of the teachers is usually better.
48
This is probably the situation in most countries, not just the US.
49
One question that many people ask me is about which foreign languages American students study in high school.
50
Well, in the US, most students get to choose which language they want to study.
51
The majority of the students choose Spanish because it's the most useful foreign language for most Americans.
52
There are usually more Spanish teachers in classes than any other language.
53
The second most popular language that students choose is French,
54
and the third language is probably Italian.
55
I studied Spanish in high school because I thought it would be the easiest language to learn.
56
Okay, lastly, let's talk about the importance of high school in America.
57
Students need to do well in high school if they want to go to a good college.
58
They need to get good grades and they need to do well on the SAT.
59
The SAT is the exam that high school students take if they want to go to college.
60
Students can take this test multiple times to try to get a good score.
61
I only took the SAT once and I didn't study for it.
62
I didn't really care about going to a good college.
63
Alright, now I'm gonna ask you three questions about today's video to check your comprehension.
64
Number one, in the US,
65
what do we call people who are in ninth grade?
66
Number two, what are AP classes?
67
Number three, what are the three most common languages that American students study?
68
Okay, remember to subscribe to the channel,
69
click on the bell, and follow us on Instagram for more English tips and lessons.
70
I'll see you next time.
71
We'll see you next time.

Dicas de Prática

Para maximizar sua aprendizagem durante essa prática de escuta, considere usar a técnica de shadowing em inglês. A ideia é ouvir atentamente o que está sendo dito e tentar repetir imediatamente, imitando a pronúncia, o ritmo e a entonação do falante. Este método é conhecido como shadowspeak e é extremamente eficaz para melhorar suas habilidades de fala.

Como o vídeo é apresentado em um ritmo moderado, você pode começar praticando em trechos menores, pausando o vídeo após cada frase e tentando replicar o que ouviu. Preste atenção especial às palavras e frases-chaves. Faça isso repetidamente até se sentir confortável com a pronúncia e o vocabulário. O uso do shadow speak é uma maneira excelente de reforçar a memorização e aumentar sua fluência.

Além disso, utilize o site de shadowing para encontrar mais recursos e exercícios que podem ajudá-lo a aprimorar seu aprendizado de inglês, focando sempre na repetição e na prática. Ao integrar essas técnicas em sua rotina de estudos, você se tornará um falante mais confiante e fluente.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
