Okay, today we're going to talk about retirement.
5
This is an interesting topic because retirement is different around the world.
6
So what is retirement?
7
When you retire, it means that you stop working.
8
You finish your career.
9
So first, let's talk about the retirement age.
10
In the U.S., the retirement age is 66 or 67.
11
It depends on when you were born.
12
However, However, this age might change in the future.
13
When you turn 66 or 67 years old, you can stop working and get money from the government.
14
In the US, this is called Social Security.
15
The retirement age is different in different countries, but I think that it's usually 60-something in most countries.
16
What's the retirement age in your country?
17
In the US, the social security money that people receive isn't enough for most people.
18
Life is expensive in the US, so people often save money or invest so they can retire.
19
I think in most countries it's the same.
20
The money that the government gives you when you retire isn't a lot.
21
This means that people need to plan for retirement.
22
So let's talk about some ways to have more money when you retire.
23
One thing you can do is save money.
24
You can save a little money each month, and this amount will grow as time goes by.
25
You should start saving when you're young.
26
If you start saving when you're 60, you probably won't save a lot of money before you retire.
27
And sometimes saving money isn't enough.
28
Over time, there's always inflation.
29
Inflation is when your currency loses value.
30
So if there's a lot of inflation, then your savings lose value too.
31
This is why some people prefer to invest money.
32
There are many different ways to invest money.
33
You can invest in a retirement plan, the stock market, cryptocurrency, gold, silver, real estate, and other things.
34
If you invest your money well, then you can make more money in the future.
35
This can help you retire.
36
One other important investment is investing in your children.
37
If you have children, then you should invest a lot of time, money, energy, and love into them.
38
If you do this, then your children will probably help you when you're older.
39
It's much easier to retire when your children love you and want to help you out.
40
Now let's talk about what people do when they retire.
41
In the US, there are many popular activities for retired people.
42
One common activity is golf.

If you go to a golf course in the US, you'll see many retirees.

This is a very important activity for many people.

Grandparents love spending time with their grandchildren and parents appreciate the help.
50
And actually, some people never retire.
51
Some people continue working their whole life.
52
They might do this because they need the money, or they might just love working.
53
How about you?

Do you want to retire in the future, or do you want to continue working when you're old?

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
