Teacher Tip:
Script: Are you wondering what career would be
perfect for you? I suggest you take into consideration
your personality. Not everyone’s personality is ideal
for every profession. For example, if you are an
extremely sensitive person, you should probably avoid
going into medicine, because your patients’ illnesses
and deaths may affect you too much. If you are tech
savvy, consider studying a career in engineering or
and human resources are perfect if you consider
yourself extroverted and a people person. If, on the
other hand, you are introverted and shy, you may want
to choose a career that allows you to work alone, like
graphic design or architecture. And to be a professor
like me, you must be incredibly patient!

Teacher Tip:
Script: When you graduate high school, your options
are endless for your future. Many people go on to
study what they like at the university. The first degree
you can receive is called a Bachelor’s degree. This
can usually be completed in four to five years.
Nowadays, a Bachelors degree is worth what a high
school diploma was worth one generation ago. So
many students decide to continue to a Master’s
degree, which can usually be earned in two years. A
Master’s degree allows you to specialize even further
in a specific field. There are Masters degrees related
to all professions. Some people even decide to do a
Masters in another country, like Spain or the United
States. There are many scholarships available to help
you to pay for a Masters. In the case of the United
States, if you agree to teach Bachelors students, you
can get your Masters for free, and also get paid a
small salary every month! If you get your Masters and
you still want more education, you can go on to a PhD
or doctorate and people will call you “doctor”! The
sky is the limit for your education. Nothing can stop
the power of your mind!

Teacher Tip:
Script: You may think that going to the university is
expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. Most public
universities in this country are free, you only have to
pay for your materials like books and supplies. But
private universities can also be accessible if you are
aware of the financial aid that can be available to you.
Many of them offer different scholarships that you can
apply for. For example, there is a scholarship based
on economic need. Most private universities give you a
discount based on your family’s income. The less your
family makes, the more you get in scholarship money.
There are also scholarships based on academic merit.
If you have the highest grades in your class, your
tuition is reduced. If you belong to certain clubs or
sports teams on campus, like dance or soccer, you may
also be eligible for a scholarship. Besides these
scholarships that are offered by the universities
themselves, there are also private institutions like
organizations and businesses that offer scholarships to
dedicated students. So, don’t be discouraged! The
university is for everyone who wants to go!

Page 19: Oral Communication
Teacher Tip:
Script: Many people are unaware of the fact that you
can get a Master’s or PhD practically for free in the
United States, and even get paid too! How, you ask?
Well, you can apply for assistantships at most U.S.
universities. There are generally two types: research
assistantships and teaching assistantships. In the first
one, you help a professor to do research, usually
either collecting or organizing data. In the second one,
you actually teach classes at a basic level in the
bachelor’s program of what you are studying. So, for
example, if you choose to get a Master’s degree in
Sociology, you will teach basic classes in Sociology to
beginning students. That way, your tuition will be paid
for, and you will make a small salary each month!
This will be enough money for you to live with a
roommate and pay for your daily expenses. You can
finish your Master’s or even PhD debt-free, and your
degree will be recognized all over the world!

Teacher Tip:
Script: In today’s modern, internet-centered society,
online or distance learning is becoming more and
more popular. But is it right for you? There are
several advantages and disadvantages to this learning
modality. On one hand, you can study from the
convenience and comfort of your own home, provided
that you have an internet connection. On the other
hand, you miss the live face-to-face interaction with
your classmates and teacher. Some people like online
education because the schedule is very flexible, which
makes it easier for you to work and study at the same
time. Also, usually online programs are less expensive
than presential programs. They also provide students
with experience in technology and the opportunity to
develop self-discipline and responsibility. However, in
the online modality, you are missing interaction in
real-time and the chance to have your questions
resolved on the spot.
So, as you can see, there are advantages and
disadvantages to doing a university degree online.
Take into consideration your own personality and
learning style, and you’ll figure out what is right for study in the university and I have no idea, but I wanted
you! to do something that fits with my personality.
