1
Everyone knows Harry Potter and Hogwarts in Germany and thinks it’s cool.
2
But very few people know how unfair the British school and university system really is.
3
These private schools and universities cost up to 60,000 € per year and only very few parents can afford that.
4
Only 7% of British parents are.
5
But they are happy to pay because they assume that their offspring will later become part of the political elite.
6
Because only three of all British Prime Ministers have not been to Oxford or Cambridge or the British super boarding school Eton, which advertises itself like this: With pictures that are meant to remind us of Harry Potter.
7
The teaching is at a very high standard and it is very innovative.
8
They push you to reach that full potential.
9
It looks great, but it also costs money.
10
And the 93% of British students, whose parents cannot afford it, they then have to go to state schools and they look a little different here.
11
Often it is not just the name that crumbles, but also the ceiling from the inside, because many public schools are often dangerously poorly built.
12
Last year, 65 such schools had to be evacuated.
13
The biggest problem, however, is that the vast majority of students not taught here like in Eton, that they could ever make it to the top.
14
Someone who has been upset about this for years, is Alastair Campbell, whom I meet on the way to one of these state schools.
15
Former press secretary to Tony Blair and now political podcast star.
16
He visits regularly deliberately poorer state schools, to drum up support for the fact that they too should be involved in politics.
17
That a celebrity like Alastair Campbell visits them, seems to be a completely new experience for many here.
18
Or? Yes, for us at a school like this, that's not normal at all.
19
For many, the fact that Alastair Campbell comes here is the first time, that they even meet a life, a politician.
20
This is totally normal at private schools.
21
But can Campbell really inspire the students here?
22
For a whole hour?
23
It is important to get involved in politics.
24
Otherwise others will control you.
25
You must never say that nothing will change anyway.
26
Im here today asking you: Please be bothered!
27
They listened until the end, but did his message get through?
28
That they in particular have to get involved in politics, because otherwise the children of richer parents will later rule over them?
29
I am angry.
30
Some people take it as motivation.
31
And these are the people that have, like, a hard skin.
32
But many here simply have the feeling we can't make it anyway.
33
That can just demotivate you so much.
34
Alastair Campbell knows this.
35
What annoys him most is that so many clever Students simply go under, while the richer ones are automatically pushed to the top.
36
I would argue, some of the most famous products of our private schools, who then became prime minister, they are no smarter than the kids here.
37
But they get something that the kids here don't get.
38
You have a better start in life and then they are told again and again that they are better than everyone else.
39
And they believe it?
40
Why wouldn't you believe that?
41
You're inclined to believe something like that when you hear it, aren't you?
42
I would too.
43
On the other hand, this means for the poorer children here in Britain This makes it twice as difficult to get to Cambridge or Oxford.
44
But is that really still the case?
45
Some time ago I read in the Guardian that There are now more and more colleges here that are consciously try to recruit working class kids.
46
Really active.
47
And that's why I went to Oxford to take a look at one.
48
Specially highlighted Mansfield College was repeatedly mentioned and that's why I've arranged to meet the director there.
49
But first we took a look around the college itself.
50
Today, several classes from state schools are held here.
51
Students for whom it was completely unthinkable for a long time, to be able to study in Oxford.
52
In my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful libraries in Oxford.
53
The aim of this tour to take away from them all the fear and awe of these holy halls, the feeling that they could never belong here.
54
But we do not want to diminish the magic of Oxford. The thing that I would say to students is: rather than bringing the Oxford all down, is to bring their own character up.
55
Which I think is very very important.
56
And something this university equips us to do.
57
Mansfield is the only Oxford college truly representative of British society as a whole.
58
More than 93% come from public schools.
59
The tours are only part of the overall strategy.
60
Megan for example from Yorkshire in the north of England is only here because Mansfield had sent an ambassador to her school, who actively recruited them.
61
It was always just very like people from the south go that people.
62
Rich people.
63
Yeah, rich people.
64
And no matter whether I was getting top grades, I never thought I'd be smart enough to be here, which is totally is totally wrong.
65
But it's very much the culture.
66
Director Helen Mountfield has been fighting for years to ensure that Oxford does not remain a place for the upper class.
67
But this is not just about changing Oxford, but also about who will govern the country in the future.
68
All but two prime ministers in the last 50 years have been to Oxford.
69
I think there's a deep sense that that's what a Prime Minister looks like.
70
That's where this deep submissiveness comes from.
71
And what I would like to do is to break down that sense of deference and to say you choose the cleverest person and not somebody, because we have a kind of caste system, because that's the sort of person who should be the prime minister, but because that's the person who argues well and has good ideas and understands things socially and intellectually, that's what I think we should be looking for.
72
Downton Abbey doesn't really help in that.
73
Downton Abbey doesn't help.
74
It's part of the romanticized idea of old England, isn't it?
75
And yes, and it does get romanticized in in drama and on television. Yes.
76
I think it's detrimental to give people positions because of who they are, not what they do.
77
A passionate plea for a different England beyond class barriers.
78
But Mansfield is still a pioneering project.
79
Does this still change anything in the rest of Oxford?
80
What do Meghan and the others think about this?
81
I know people from the other colleges, where I think it is a little bit more...
82
High class, like they are more known for being a bit posher where they won’t look at me, who wont look me in the eyes.
83
To trying to, like, react against like the whole class structure that has really been like making up like British society for the past few decades.
84
That's really difficult to dissolve.
85
But I think the people who come from private schools, they just believe it's their birthright to be here.
86
So a lot of them just mess around.
87
There was a boy in my class who went to Eton.
88
I didn't see him a single lecture or any classes.
89
In fact, he boasted to me at the pub that he'd never gone to a class.
90
And what did that make you feel?
91
I don't know. It just made me feel.
92
It made me feel angry.
93
But in a sense, it made me feel proud as well, because I know that I did better than him in my exams and in a way, like I worked so much harder to be here than you did.
94
Which, yeah, makes me feel proud sometimes.
95
And if you now you want to know more about British class society.
96
How this is gradually changing, but how deeply rooted it is nonetheless here on the island, in society.
97
There's a whole documentary I made about this.

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？
练习口语不仅能够提高英语表达能力，还能帮助学习者更好地理解文化背景。通过观看这段关于英国教育体系不平等的讨论，学习者可以在真实语境中练习口语，模仿讲者的表达方式。这种“影子跟读”技术，能够让你在潜移默化中提高自己的英语发音和语感，是一种非常有效的语言学习方式。观看YouTube学英语，不仅能生动地传达复杂的社会话题，还是与他人讨论相关主题的绝佳材料。
语法和表达在语境中的应用
在视频中，讲者使用了一些具有特定语法结构的句子，以下是几个值得注意的表达：
- “只有...才能...”: 这种句型用于表达一种条件关系，说明只有特定条件下，才能达到某种结果。例如，“只有7%的英国父母能负担得起。”
- “...使得...” : 用来表明原因或效果的连接词，可以帮助学习者掌握如何将因果关系清晰表达。例子如“这种不公平使得许多学生失去机会。”
- “...与…相比”: 用比较的方式突出两者之间的差异，可以帮助学习者在进行分析时使用更丰富的句子。比如“与私立学校相比，公立学校的设施往往较差。”
通过影子发音，学习者不仅能够掌握这些结构，还能在表达观点时灵活运用，提升说服力。
常见的发音陷阱
在视频中，讲者的发音很清晰，但有些单词和表达可能会对学习者构成挑战：
- "politics"（政治）: 这个词的发音较复杂，注意重音的位置，有助于提高英语发音的准确性。
- "education"（教育）: 常见的发音误区在于音节的划分，学习者可能会忽略其中的音节连接。
- "equality"（平等）: 发音时注意元音的变化，尤其在快速语境中，容易混淆。
通过在影子跟读时专注于这些难点，学习者能够有效提高自己的发音技巧，缩小与母语者之间的差距。
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。
