6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
2
Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Phil.
4
And I'm Beth.
5
So, Beth, we're talking about the best education systems in the world today.
6
You went to school here in Britain.
7
What do you think of the British education system?
8
Do you think it could be the best?
9
I think that it's quite good.
10
There's probably a couple of things that I personally would change about it,
11
but I would say it's quite good,
12
but maybe not the best in the world.
13
Well, in this programme, we're going to be talking about the PISA rankings.
14
The rankings are based on tests carried out by the OECD,
15
that's an international organisation, every three years.
16
The tests attempt to show which countries are the most effective at teaching maths, science and reading.
17
But is that really possible to measure?
18
Well, here is former BBC education correspondent Sean Coughlin talking to BBC World Service programme The Global Story.
19
When they were introduced first of all,
20
that was a very contentious idea because people said,
21
how can you possibly compare big countries,
22
how can you compare America to Luxembourg or to parts of China or whatever?
23
Sean said that the tests were contentious.
24
If something is contentious, then it's something that people might argue about.
25
It's controversial.
26
So, at first, PSATES were contentious because not everyone believed it was fair to compare very different countries.
27
Phil, I've got a question for you about them.
28
So, in 2022, Singapore was top of the reading rankings.
29
But which of these countries came second?
30
Was it A, the USA,
31
B, Ireland, or C, the UK?
32
I think it might be B, Ireland.
33
OK, well, we will find out if that's correct at the end of the programme.
34
A common pattern in the PISA rankings is that the most successful countries tend to be smaller.
35
Talking to BBC World Service programme The Global Story,
36
Sean Cochland tells us that many large countries from Western Europe don't score that highly in the rankings.
37
They're being outpaced and outperformed by these fast upcoming countries,
38
Singapore or Estonia or Taiwan or those sort of places,
39
which we don't historically think of as being economic rivals.
40
But I suppose the argument for the PISA test is if you want to have a knowledge economy,
41
an economy based on skills,
42
this is how you measure it.
43
We heard that many large European countries are being outpaced by smaller nations.
44
If someone outpaces you, they're going faster than you, at a higher pace.
45
We use the prefix out to say that someone or something is better at doing something.
46
We also heard that smaller nations are outperforming larger ones.
47
They're performing better.
48
Singapore, Estonia and Taiwan are described as economic rivals to large European nations.
49
That means that they are competing with them economically.
50
We also heard about a knowledge economy.
51
This is an economy based on service industries that require workers to be highly educated,
52
such as IT, finance or advanced engineering.
53
So what makes countries perform better in these tests?
54
Let's hear again from BBC World Service programme, The Global Story.
55
Sean Coughlin tells us that those countries that prioritise getting everyone to a certain level do well.
56
We also hear from Rando Kustik, an Estonian school principal.
57
Countries which make sure that all their pupils get through a certain level of education to a certain standard,
58
regardless of their background, do well.
59
If you are teaching them by different level of abilities,
60
then you are segregating them.
61
And we don't want to segregate any people in the world.
62
Why we are doing that in the schools,
63
this is one of the main things why Estonia is successful.
64
Sean said the most successful systems educate everyone to a particular standard,
65
regardless of their background.
66
If one thing happens regardless of something else,
67
it means that the something else is not important or not a problem.
68
Rando Kustik said that Estonian schools do not want to segregate students.
69
Segregate means to separate and keep apart.
70
So, we've just heard about Estonia,
71
but what about your question, Beth?
72
What about those countries?
73
Ah, I asked you which out of the USA,
74
Ireland and the UK came second for reading in the 2022 PISA rankings.
75
You said Ireland and that was the correct answer.
76
Well done.
77
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learnt in this programme about education rankings,
78
starting with contentious – argued about or controversial.
79
If you're outpaced by someone,
80
they're going faster than you are.
81
Rivals are competitors.
82
A knowledge economy is one based on industries that need highly educated workers,
83
such as IT, finance or advanced engineering.
84
If something happens regardless of a second thing,
85
the second thing has no impact on it happening.
86
And finally, if people are segregated,
87
different groups of people are separated and kept apart.
88
Once again, our six minutes are up.

背景与环境
在这段对话中，主持人Phil和Beth讨论了全球最佳教育系统。他们聚焦于PISA排名，这是由经济合作与发展组织（OECD）每三年进行的国际测试，旨在评估各国在数学、科学和阅读方面的教学效果。Beth谈到自己对英国教育系统的看法，认为虽然有改进空间，但整体上算是不错的。Phil则提到，一些小国如新加坡、爱沙尼亚和台湾在这些测试中表现优异，甚至超过了一些经济较大、历史悠久的国家。这样的讨论激发了对教育评价体系的深入思考。
日常交流中的五个关键短语
- 内容争议 - "contentious" 这个词在这里指的是某些话题引起了争论。
- 超越 - "outperform" 这个词表示在某些方面超过或表现更好。
- 知识经济 - "knowledge economy" 指经济发展基于技能和知识的行业。
- 比较不同国家 - "compare different countries" 是讨论PISA排名时常用的表达。
- 适应性测试 - "tests attempt to show" 指的是这些测试所追求的目标。
逐步影子跟读指南
要有效提高英语口语能力，尤其是通过影子跟读（shadow speak）练习，建议遵循以下步骤：
- 聆听材料：首先，专心听这段对话，注意语音、语调和发音。
- 分段模仿：将音频分为几小部分，逐段模仿。结合θη语音和语调，进行跟读（shadow speech）。
- 使用关键词：在跟读时，特别注意上述的关键词和短语，它们在对话中强调了核心观点。
- 录音反馈：录下自己的跟读声音，回放并对比原音，从而识别发音和语调的差异。
- 不断重复：多次重复以上步骤，以增强记忆并提高口语流畅度。可以在每次练习中尝试快速提升自己的语速，逐渐挑战更高的难度。
通过这些方法，学习者不仅能提升雅思口语练习中的流利度，还能培养对英语表达的敏感度，从而在实际生活中更自信地交流。
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。
