Hey there, welcome to Life Knocking.
2
So college is a reality for some of you, or it might be.
3
It's a tough decision and either way it can change the course of your life forever.
4
No pressure though, seriously, we got you.
5
Let's go over some of the pros and cons of higher education
6
and you can decide on your own whether it's right for you.
7
Major pro right off the bat,
8
college grads with bachelor's degrees earn on average of 30,000 more per year than high school graduates.
9
This can add up to around $500,000 more dollars per lifetime.
10
Think of all the pizzas you can buy with that money.
11
Major con right off the bat,
12
the downside to this is that while many students do become successful,
13
college is still very expensive.
14
Massive student loan debt often results in students moving back in with their parents and working multiple jobs.
15
Over 25% of college students decide to not even return for a second year,
16
so you'll have to decide whether it's worth your time and money and how exactly can you pay it off.
17
Pro!
18
College does provide nifty things such as job fairs,
19
career services, internships, and volunteer opportunities.
20
Nearly 80% of college students complete internships during school,
21
which always comes in handy when applying for jobs after graduation.
22
Also depending on your school,
23
you'll have access to some brilliant professors that you might not have ever gotten to meet otherwise.
24
These connections, whether short term or long term, are very beneficial.
25
As for the con, the total cost of going to college also includes the cost of missing opportunities.
26
Climbing a ladder, working your way up,
27
and making connections is a route that many people choose to take.
28
Pro, college does help students explore new options.
29

30
so college is a great way for the students to test the waters and figure out their passion.
31
My passion is educating you guys.
32
Con, sadly though, recent college graduates are actually under or unemployed.
33
Over 16% of recent graduates are either jobless,
34
searching, part-time, or have completely given up.
35
While work might seem hard to find,
36
college graduates do have a higher chance of employment opportunities.
37
Many jobs require a degree of some level to actually apply.
38
Based on Georgetown University's economy and job projections,
39
around 63% of jobs will require some level of college education or a degree.
40
Who knows what the percentage would be in a couple of years,
41
but it really does help to have that fancy piece of paper.
42
Sort of con, interestingly enough,
43
over 44% of recent college graduates with a bachelor's degree or higher are working jobs that don't even require a degree.
44
Hmm, I've been thinking, should I go to the University of Good Looks?
45
Heh, I'm just kidding, I have my masters from there.
46
Let us know your thoughts.
47
How do you feel about college?
48

or is it necessary to go somewhere?

推薦影片
為什麼要通過這個影片練習口語?
通過這個影片學習可以幫助你更好地理解高等教育的利弊。因此,實踐口語時,你不僅僅是在模仿發音,更是在進行有意義的對話。探討“大學是否值得”的主題時,你將學會如何表達自己的看法和立場,這對雅思口語練習非常重要。你可以通過跟隨影片中的發言者進行shadow speech,提高你的流利度和自信心。這種方法特別適合想要提升口語能力的學習者,因為它能幫助你在真實場景中應用所學的語言。
語法與表達在語境中的應用
在影片中,發言者使用了多種句型和表達方式,幫助我們理解其觀點。以下是幾個關鍵結構:
- 對比結構:發言者通過利與弊的對比,讓觀眾更清楚地看到大學教育的雙面性。例如,“大學畢業生的平均收入比高中畢業生高30,000元”以及“大學費用極高”,這樣的比較能幫助學生更全面地看待問題。
- 建議句型:發言者使用“你需要決定”這一表達,鼓勵觀眾自我反思,同時教會學習者如何在詢問意見時表達思考。
- 將來時態:使用將來時態來討論即將到來的職業機會,例如“63%的工作將需要某種程度的大學教育”,這提醒我們關注未來可能的職業趨勢。
常見的發音陷阱
在影片中,有幾個單詞和短語可能會讓學習者產生髮音上的困難:
- “graduates”:這個詞的發音需要注意,尤其是在快速語速下,容易被忽略。
- “employment”: 這個詞在不同的英語口音中會有所不同,因此練習時可以模仿發言者的發音。
- “opportunities”: 注意重音的放置,正確發音能幫助清晰表達。
通過觀看這個影片並進行shadowspeak練習,你將能夠逐漸克服這些發音困難。此外,不妨在看YouTube學英語中尋找更多類似的內容,提升你的英語水平。
什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
