【核心回顾】 Speech Review

1. 现今,全世界有18亿年轻人,年龄在10岁到24岁之间。他们的手中掌握了我们共同的未来,但是他们却很担心。全世界有两亿青少年没有就学,他们担心无法取得谋生所需要的技能。
2. 年轻人担心暴力。世界上每七分钟,就有一名青少年或青少女在某个地方因为遭遇暴力行为而送命。
3. 对于女孩们来说,她们还担心自己的未来。因为她们不得不面对偏见、歧视、童婚、甚至虐待。
4. 尽管已经出现了一些措施来帮助这些年轻人,但是 Henrietta认为这只触及到了一小部分人,我们应该把这些点子做得更大,帮助更多的年轻人。这个庞大的年轻一代即将继承我们的世界,我们有责任把希望和机会的遗产为他们留下,也能留下给他们。

其他想法

1. 全球平均每个月有1千万的毕业生, 但是每月并没有这么多的工作机会产生. 光看招聘信息是不够的. 还要自己主动去了解.
2. 能够找到如演讲者一样有自己深信的意义的工作多好
