1
This is a picture that was taken in the Indian state of Bihar.
2
This is an image which shocked the people of Bihar,
3
including the political class as well.
4
This image was taken outside that building.
5
That building is the venue for an important end of program examination for high school students
6
and the results will determine whether they've gone to the next phase of education.
7
So they're in there doing a standardized test.
8
The people clinging to the building are their parents who are
9
handing cheat sheets in through the window to make sure they have the best opportunity to pass the test.
10
What you can't see are the people on the ground,
11
the other parents who are milling around waiting for their chance to get up to go onto the wall.
12
I'm not being openly critical of that because that's the game they're in.
13
But it's an appalling game to be in, isn't it?
14
You have all these people with brilliant capacities and it's all being turned on a particular test.
15
So the reason I don't think we should get too smug about Bihar is we're doing exactly the same thing here,
16
except it's horizontal.
17
Our kids are being pumped through these systems in Europe,
18
in Asia, in many parts of America,
19
and our parents here, and they are figuratively also being driven up the wall.
20
Problem is this, that our current systems of education were never designed or intended to cultivate the great array of individual talent.
21
On the contrary, they were conceived with a very particular view of intelligence in mind,
22
a cultural conception of intelligence,
23
and a very particular sense of economic purpose in mind.
24
There is something in the system of education which hinges on the expectation of higher education.
25
The whole system of K-12 education in America is now predicated on the ambition of going to college.
26
I think this is a very corrupting influence on the whole character of education.
27
The idea that you're not educated unless you get a college degree.
28
It'll only really be solved by rethinking what higher education's about
29
and how best it can offer the sorts of skills and aptitudes that people need.
30
The truth, I think, is that human intelligence isn't marked by conformity, naturally.
31
It's characterized by diversity.
32
And it happens, therefore, that if you have a system of education that's based on a narrow view of ability,
33
on a conformist view of ability,
34
people who don't fit that mold will think they are the problem and will naturally feel that they are eccentric.
35
And so we end up inventing remedial programs for people who just aren't interested in the main diet that's offered at school.
36
We have a dropout rate,
37
I don't like the term dropout,
38
truthfully, but a non-graduation rate in America for high schools that varies,
39
according to state, between 15 and 40% of non-graduation rates.
40
You know, I mean, if you've got an average of 20% of kids not completing high school,
41
you can't blame the kids at this point, can you?
42
This is the system that's at fault.
43
The evidence everywhere is if you refresh your conception of intelligence,
44
so it corresponds to how people really manifest it,
45
then all kinds of people who are excluded become included,
46
empowered, and engaged in a way they didn't before.

背景与脉络
在这段视频中，著名教育专家肯·罗宾逊（Sir Ken Robinson）探讨了教育体系如何影响儿童的发展与自我认知。视频中讲述了印度比哈尔邦（Bihar）一幅震惊人心的画面，家长们爬上墙壁向参加考试的孩子递交答案纸。这一现象不仅突显了教育体制的缺陷，还反映出家长们对于教育成绩的极端关注，这种现象在全球许多地方也同样存在。罗宾逊指出，现有的教育系统未必能够真正培养出学生多样化的才能和智能，而是按照单一的标准引导学生，这可能导致很多孩子感到自我怀疑和孤立。因此，重新思考教育的目的和实现方式，成为了当代教育改革的重要课题。
日常交流的五个重要短语
- 模拟考试（mock exam） - 模拟考试是一个帮助学生准备真正考试的有效工具。
- 学习能力（learning ability） - 每个人的学习能力都是不同的，教育系统应尊重这种差异。
- 非毕业率（non-graduation rate） - 美国某些州的非毕业率高达40%，这反映出教育系统存在的问题。
- 个性化教育（personalized education） - 教育需要根据每位学生的特点进行个性化调整。
- 多元智能（multiple intelligences） - 罗宾逊强调智力的多样性，大家都应有机会展示自己的才能。
逐步模仿指导
观看和模仿罗宾逊在视频中的表达，对于提高英语口语练习和发音有很大的帮助。以下是一些逐步模仿的技巧：
- 首先，观看视频并关注肯·罗宾逊的语调和节奏。可以尝试逐句跟读，但不需过于紧张。
- 使用shadowspeak的方法，选择一小段文字进行反复练习。尝试从视频中提取出你感兴趣的短语，如“学习能力”。
- 将自己与罗宾逊的语音对比，以发现自己的发音问题，特别是在音调和重音方面。
- 在反复练习之后，尝试用相同的表达方式，结合自己的观点进行即兴发挥，从而提升英语口语表达的流畅度。
- 最后，定期回顾与重温这些短语和句子，通过shadowing site上的资源进行持续练习，进一步提高英语发音。
通过这些步骤，学习者可以有效地提高自己的英语口语能力，同时掌握教育领域对个体成长的深刻见解。
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。
