Oral Reading Fluency 15: "The Question about Education" - English practice!

In the U.S., colleges and universities

offer the same degrees.

You can get a good education

at a college or a university.

The growing problem in our country

is the price.

It's becoming very expensive

to receive a college education.

That's what our reading is about.

"Field" and "industry" are related

but they're different words.

"Field" refers more to an area of study

that you can build a career in.

For example, the medical field or the field of teaching.

"Industry" refers more to business...

- the aspect of selling something.

For instance, the fashion industry.

You'll also hear the word "calling,"

which comes from the word "call."

Your calling in life is your profession --

what you feel called to do.

Listen for these three words:

field, industry, calling.

Do you think that education

at every level should be free?

Why or why not?

Do students pay college tuition in your country?

How expensive is it?
