Hello, my favorite English language learners.
2
It is your favorite English teacher here, Amy Joy.
3
And many of you really enjoyed one of my other videos on 40 words about the economy.
4
So today I am back with more.
5
And in this video, you will learn 20 advanced words to talk about finance and banking in the United States.
6
So let's go ahead and get started.
7
And our first word is asset.
8
This is a noun and it refers to anything valuable that you own.
9
It could be houses, jewelry,
10
land, cars, etc. And in a sentence we can say,
11
after my father died, I inherited all his assets,
12
including his home, cars, and stocks.
13
So I received everything valuable that he owned.
14
Two, net worth.
15
This is a great collocation that refers to the value of all of your assets combined minus any money that you owe.
16
And obviously we want to grow our net worth.
17
And this can be done in many ways.
18
For example, investing, saving, budgeting, and planning for retirement.
19
And in a sentence we can say,
20
by paying off my debts,
21
saving diligently, and investing in the stock market,
22
I increased my net worth 10% this year.
23
Which leads me to word number three,
24
to invest or the noun form investment.
25
Now notice the preposition that collocates with this word.
26
We use invest plus the preposition in.
27
We say to invest in something.
28
And this means to put money into assets like stocks
29
or real estate with the expectation of making more money or earning a profit.
30
And usually we invest in the stock market.
31
And the stock market is a place where shares or little pieces of a public company are bought and sold.
32
So we can see these words in this sentence,
33
which says, every morning, Jeff checks the stock market to see how his investments are performing.
34
And word number five, share.
35
You probably know this word as a verb,
36
but in finance, this is actually used as a noun.
37
So we can say a share.
38
And this refers to a piece of a company that you buy and own.
39
And when you buy shares of a company,
40
you become a part owner of that company.
41
And this is where we get the word shareholders.
42
And this refers to people who have invested in or bought shares of a company.
43
For example, when the company released a successful new product,
44
the value of each share increased,
45
benefiting all of the shareholders.
46
Now, in addition to investing in the stock market,
47
we also invest in real estate.
48
And real estate refers to property,
49
including the land and buildings on it.
50
And some common collocations with real estate are real estate agent,
51
or the person who helps you buy and sell real estate,
52
the real estate market, which refers to all of the real estate being bought and sold and real estate portfolio.
53
This is simply a collection of all of the real estate that you own.
54
So in a sentence,
55
we can say Sarah is an experienced real estate agent who knows a lot about the real estate market
56
and she helps people create a real estate portfolio with different kinds of properties like houses and buildings.
57
Now, in order to buy real estate,
58
you often need to take out a loan and a loan is money
59
that you borrow or take with an agreement to repay it.
60
And word number eight, mortgage is a specific type of loan that helps you pay for a house or other real estate.
61
And notice the collocation that we use.
62
We often say take out a loan or mortgage.
63
And word number nine is interest.
64
This is simply extra money that you pay when borrowing money,
65
but the amount of interest that you pay will depend on the interest rate.
66
And this is the percentage that is charged on a loan or mortgage.
67
So for example, if you take out a loan for a hundred dollars and the interest rate is 10%,
68
you're going to pay the original hundred dollars plus 10% of that.
69
So in total you will pay $110.
70
So in a sentence, we can say,
71
When they took out a mortgage to buy their new house,
72
they saved a lot of money by getting a low interest rate.
73
Okay.
74
And before we move on to the topic of banking,
75
I want to remind you if you are studying for the TOEFL,
76
the IELTS, or just want to expand your advanced English vocabulary,

83
Okay.
84
Let's move on to the topic of banking in the United States.
85
When opening a bank account in the United States,
86
you will often be asked to open two different accounts,
87
a savings account and a checking account.
88
And these two accounts are a little bit different.
89
A savings account is a bank account whose purpose is to save money and earn interest.
90
We usually don't take money out of this account except for when we make large transfers to other accounts.
91
And your checking account is the bank account that you use for making everyday purchases.
92
And word number 13 is to deposit.
93
This means to put money into a bank account.
94
It can also be used as a noun,
95
a deposit, and you can also use the collocation to make a deposit.
96
I need to go to the bank to make a deposit.
97
And oppositely, number 14 is to withdraw.
98
This means to take money out of a bank account.
99
The noun form is withdrawal,
100
and again, you can use the collocation to make a withdrawal.
101
So in an example, we can say,
102
I deposited my paycheck into my checking account for daily expenses and transferred some into my savings account for future savings.
103
Now, be careful when you are withdrawing money from your bank account that you don't overdraft.
104
This means to withdraw money or take more money out than you have in your account.
105
And if you do this,
106
sometimes you will be charged an overdraft fee,
107
which is an extra charge for taking too much money out of your account.
108
So in an example, we can say,
109
I accidentally withdrew too much money from my checking account and the bank charged me an overdraft fee of $50.
110
Now when opening a new bank account,
111
you will often also receive two different cards,
112
a credit card and a debit card.
113
And a credit card is a little plastic card that lets you buy things now,
114
but pay for them later.
115
Now if you don't pay the full amount that you owe by the deadline,
116
you will be charged interest.
117
But a debit card allows you to pay for things by directly taking money out of your bank account.
118
Now some people prefer using debit cards because they will not spend more money than is in their bank account.
119
However, others prefer credit cards because they often get points and rewards for using them.
120
And word number 18 is transaction.
121
This is any financial activity that involves the transfer of money,
122
such as purchasing something or transferring money between bank accounts.
123
For example, last month my credit card bill was higher than I expected,
124
so I had to review every transaction to find out why.
125
And word number 19, exchange rate.
126
This means how much one country's money or currency is worth in another country's money or currency.
127
And word number 20, budget.
128
This can be used as a noun or a verb to budget,
129
and it is a plan that shows how much money you expect to receive
130
and how you plan to spend it over a certain period of time.
131
And you can see these two words in this sentence.
132
When we traveled to Morocco,
133
the exchange rate was 10 dirm for one dollar.
134
This made traveling cheaper and allowed us to increase our budget.
135
Now I know we just covered a lot of words,
136
so in order to help a few of them stick,
137
I I want you to choose two words that were new for you
138
and use them in a sentence in the comments below.
139
It's really important that when watching my videos,
140
you not only listen to the words and understand what they mean,
141
but that you put them into practice so you can use them too.
142

上下文与背景
在这段视频中，英语老师艾米·乔为学习者们介绍了一些与金融和银行相关的重要词汇。通过逐步解析这些词汇，艾米不仅帮助学习者掌握了特定的经济术语，还激励他们在日常生活中灵活运用此类词汇。金融领域的术语往往复杂，因此良好的词汇基础是提高英语口语的重要一步。为此，学习者们需要通过各种方式来增强自己的语言能力，尤其是在与财务相关的交流中。
日常交流的五个重要短语
- 资产 (Asset)：指任何有价值的东西，例如房屋、珠宝和车辆。
- 净资产 (Net Worth)：所有资产总值减去负债后的净值。
- 投资 (Invest)：将资金投入股票或房地产等资产，以期获得利润。常与“in”搭配。
- 股票 (Share)：公司的一部分所有权，通过购买股票成为股东。
- 房地产 (Real Estate)：包括土地和建筑物的财产。
逐步跟读指南
为了更有效地掌握上述金融词汇并提高英语口语能力，建议学习者采用 shadow speech 技巧。在收看视频时，尝试跟随艾米的语速和语调说出这些重要词汇与短语。以下是具体的步骤：
- 首先，观看视频并注意艾米的发音和语调。
- 暂停视频，一次跟读一个短语或词汇，确保发音清晰。
- 重复每个短语三至五次，帮助自己在发音上找到乐感，逐渐提高英语口语练习的流畅性。
- 在练习时，尝试将所学词汇融入自己的句子中，制造使用场景，例如讨论财务计划或投资决策。
- 定期回顾，使用 shadowing site 提供的资源，找到更多相似的金融视频进行反复练习。
通过这种方式，学习者可以逐步提高他们的英语发音和口语表达能力，增强在实际交流中的自信心。正确运用这些金融词汇将使学习者在相关领域的对话中更具专业性与权威感。
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。
