#Six minutes English 2- Work for free

Vocabulary:
1. social mobility
Definition : the ability to move to a higher social status
Ex: The bond between the generations was weaker and there was considerable inter-generational social mobility in both the countryside and the cities.

2. well-connected
Definition: having strong links with important people at high levels within a company
Ex: Assuredly a well-connected steady person would be of the greatest consequence to us.

3. I think a unpaid intership is unfair. A strong word for that would be slavery. I agree that the point of  working as a intern is to gain experience, instead of earning money. But if the company is not offering a fair salary, at least a small amount of cash would be nice. Another thing is that like they say in the video "too often internships are open to those with established connections in the professions and again that rules out those young people who don’t have the well-connected families or friends who can open those doors for them." It's just unfair to those who are poor.
