“Education Does Count”–Gates • What’s the meaning of “Count”? - (v.): be important; valuable; matter - also: name/calculate the number (of) • What is “Does” here used for? - For emphasis: really, truly • Education IS really important & valuable
Why does Gates say so? • What is his idea about education? • Which advice does he offer on education and on drop-out? • Let’s find out.
Reading Activity (10~15m.) • Present the text (input-intake) - Student silent reading, or - Listening (to recording or teacher-reading aloud), or - Listening and silent reading • During 1streading/listening, find out: - his advice on education & drop-out - How many pieces of advice?
Education Does Count (1) • Hundreds of students send me e-mail each year for advice about education. They want to know what to study, or whether it’s OK to drop out of college since that’s what I did. A smaller number of parents send messages asking for suggestions for their sons or daughters. “How can we guide our child toward success?” they ask. Myadvice is simple. “(1)Get the best education you can.(2) Take advantage of high school and college.(3)Learn how to learn.”
Education Does Count (2) • It’s true that I dropped out of college to start Microsoft, but I was at Harvard for three years before dropping out. As I’ve saidbefore,(4)nobody should drop out of college unless they believe they face the chance of a lifetime. And (5) even then they should consider carefully.
Education Does Count (3) • In my company’s early years, we had a bright part-time programmer who planned to drop out of high school to work. We told him no. Quite a few of our people didn’t finish college, but we discourage dropping out.(6) Having a diploma certainly helps somebody who is looking to us for a job.
Education Does Count (4-a) • (7) High school and college offer you the best chance to learn many thingsand to do projects with others thatteach you about team spirit. In high school there was a time when I was highly focused on writing software, but for most of my high school years I had many interests. In college, I read about all kinds of things and attended different kinds of classes.
Education Does Count (4-b) • For me, (8) classroom is not the only place where you can learn. You can also learn in a library. But somebody handing you a book doesn’t automatically start your learning.(9) You should learn with other people, ask questions, try out ideas and have a way to test your ability.
Education Does Count(5) • In short, it’s a real mistake not to take the chanceto study a wide range of subjectsand tolearn to work with other peoplebecause education does count.
Exercise (1): “T” or “F” • Get the best education you can. • Diploma certainly helps in finding a job. • School/college offer best chance to learn a wide range of subjects (& wide interests). • Learn how to learn (not just what to learn). • Learn to work with others (team spirits). • Try out ideas & test your ability. • Don’t drop out unless faced with a lifetime chance; even then, consider carefully.
