Group Discussion
Directions,Listen to the following passage and then discuss the
following questions in small groups,After discussion,
some of the students will be required to represent
their respective groups to report their discussion to
the whole class,The following words and expressions
are for your reference,
American schools tend to put more emphasis on developing
critical thinking skills than they do on acquiring quantities of
facts,American students are encouraged to express their own
opinions in class and think for themselves,a reflection of the
American values of individual freedom and self-reliance,The
goal of the American education system is to teach children
how to learn and to help them reach their maximum potential,
The American definition of success is largely one of
acquiring wealth and a high material standard of living,It
is not surprising therefore,that Americans value education
for its monetary value,The belief is widespread in the
United States that the more schooling people have,the
more money they will earn when they leave school,The
belief is strongest regarding the desirability of an
undergraduate degree,or a professional degree such as
medicine or law,following the undergraduate degree,The
money value of graduate degrees in,nonprofessional”
fields such as art,history,or philosophy is not as great,
In recent years,there has been a change in the job market in
the United States,In the past,it was possible to get a high-paying
factory job without a college education,Increasingly,however,the
advent of new technologies has meant that more and more
education is required to do the work,Many of the new jobs in the
United States either require a college education,even a graduate
degree,or they are low-paying jobs in the service sector of the
economy,such as fast-food restaurants,small stores,and hotels,
Why are people paying more and more attention to education?
Why do you go to college?

Group Discussion
Directions,Listen to the following passage and then discuss the
following questions in small groups,After discussion,
some of the students will be required to represent
their respective groups to report their discussion to
the whole class,The following words and expressions
are for your reference,
American schools tend to put more emphasis on developing
critical thinking skills than they do on acquiring quantities of
facts,American students are encouraged to express their own
opinions in class and think for themselves,a reflection of the
American values of individual freedom and self-reliance,The
goal of the American education system is to teach children
how to learn and to help them reach their maximum potential,
The American definition of success is largely one of
acquiring wealth and a high material standard of living,It
is not surprising therefore,that Americans value education
for its monetary value,The belief is widespread in the
United States that the more schooling people have,the
more money they will earn when they leave school,The
belief is strongest regarding the desirability of an
undergraduate degree,or a professional degree such as
medicine or law,following the undergraduate degree,The
money value of graduate degrees in,nonprofessional”
fields such as art,history,or philosophy is not as great,
In recent years,there has been a change in the job market in
the United States,In the past,it was possible to get a high-paying
factory job without a college education,Increasingly,however,the
advent of new technologies has meant that more and more
education is required to do the work,Many of the new jobs in the
United States either require a college education,even a graduate
degree,or they are low-paying jobs in the service sector of the
economy,such as fast-food restaurants,small stores,and hotels,
Why are people paying more and more attention to education?
Why do you go to college?
