Reza Zaini Reviewer Thank you.

Two years ago, I launched a campaign called HeForShe at the UN in New York.
3
I was very nervous before that speech.
4
The nerves were followed by a tremendous high immediately afterwards and a crashing low a few days after that.
5
My best hopes and my worst fears were confirmed all at once.
6
I had opened Pandora's box to a standing ovation
7
and almost simultaneously a level of critique I had never experienced in my life
8
and the beginning of what would become a series of threats.
9
The last two years have been a baptism of fire,
10
to say the least, where I learnt just how little I know and also how much.
11
It was my scary first step as an activist, a word I never imagined that I would use to describe myself.
12
So, reading the applications of activists who applied here for One Young World Scholarships was surprising to me.
13
Here I was reading the stories of people from nearly 200 different countries from around the world with experiences
14
that I couldn't even imagine.
15
I mean, I really just, they were so out of this world to me.
16
And yet, their notes looked like my notes.
17
The same themes emerged over and over and over again.
18
There was so much overlap with the things that I had been thinking about and that I had been struggling with.
19
Because the truth is, it had never been about being an activist.
20
It was about the choice to make myself visible.
21
and the choices that you made to do that too.
22
Apart from the significant progress the world has made in the cause for equality, the best thing about the last two years has been this.
23
Finding people from such disparate experiences and communities that I found that I have something in common with.
24
This is a community of artists, spiritual teachers, dreamers, thinkers, doers,
25
who work together and support each other.
26
For the first time in my life, I found my sisterhood, a brotherhood, however you want to describe it.
27
I found my tribe.
28
My hope for you while you're here is that you will find some of your tribe too.
29
I really needed mine.
30
Bobby Kennedy, when he was senator for New York,
31
said, Each time a man or woman stands up for an ideal Or acts to improve the lots of others
32
Or strikes out against injustice
33
He sends forth a tiny ripple of hope
34
And crossing each other from a million different centres of energy
35
Those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest wall of oppression and resistance.
36
That's what we are doing.
37
We, the entire spectrum of the feminist movement,
38
are building an unstoppable current for which we need ripples of hope from every age,
39
race, ability, walk of life from every human experience.
40
I feel gender equality is as important as any of the other goals that we are here to discuss.
41
And actually, if anything, it is even more important because it intersects with every single other issue that we face.
42
We all have feminine and masculine energies within us.
43
And both forces need to be lifted up, respected.
44
They need to work together in order to make the world go round.
45
Each of you are here at One Young World because you do something important.
46
And it is so exciting to see you all come together in one room, because One Young World isn't about saying what I,
47
each of us individually, can do, but what we can do.
48
Working together, supporting, and listening to each other.
49
It's in that spirit
50
that I am delighted to introduce nine activists who were the first recipients of a One Young World scholarship
51
that I am very honoured to have in my name.
52
They are working to secure real progress towards a gender equal world
53
and I hope that their stories will inspire you as much as they have inspired me.
54
In a moment, I'm going to ask them to come onto the stage, but before I do, I want to offer a few statements of my own
55
that I have struggled with and continue to struggle with on a daily basis, but that I have found inspiring.
56
I want to ask you to take a moment, you can keep your eyes closed or keep them open,
57
and ask yourself if these have any truth for you in them.
58
I am willing to be seen.
59
I am willing to speak up.
60
I am I am willing to keep going.
61
I am willing to listen to what others have to say.
62
I am willing to go forward even when I feel alone.
63
I am willing to go to bed each night at peace with myself.
64
I am willing to be my biggest, bestest, most powerful self.
65
These seven statements scare the absolute shit out of me.
66
But I know that they are at the crux of it all.
67
At the end of the day, and when all is said and done,
68
I know that these are the ways that I want to have lived my life.
69
I know each one of you probably will have encountered one of these statements in the last 48 hours, and if you have, thank you for being here.
70
I appreciate it.
71
It's truly an honor to be here with you all.
72
Thank you.
73
Thank you.

Warum dieses Video ideal fürs Englisch sprechen üben ist

Dieser Clip von Emma Watson ist ein fantastisches Material, um Englisch zu üben – nicht nur wegen des klaren, verständlichen Sprechens, sondern auch wegen der emotionalen Tiefe. Ihre Sprache ist authentisch, mit Pausen und Betonungen, die natürliche Kommunikation widerspiegeln. Das macht es perfekt für shadow speech: Du kannst ihre Rhythmen nachahmen und lernen, wie man Gefühle in Worte packt, ohne künstlich zu klingen.

Die Sprache im Detail: Was macht sie natürlich?

Lass uns ein paar Sätze genauer betrachten. Zum Beispiel: „The nerves were followed by a tremendous high immediately afterwards and a crushing low a few days after that“. Hier verwendet sie einfache Verben wie „followed“ und „were“, kombiniert mit starken Adjektiven wie „tremendous“ und „crushing“ – das macht die Aussage kraftvoll, aber nicht überladen. Ein weiteres Beispiel: „I found my tribe“. Diese umgangssprachliche Redewendung klingt nicht auswendig gelernt, sondern wie ein ehrliches Gefühl. Oder: „These seven statements scare the absolute shit out of me“ – eine informelle Wendung, die zeigt, dass auch Prominente unsicher sind. Solche Details machen die Sprache lebendig und lernbar.

Übungsroutine: Shadow Speech für bessere Aussprache

Probier diesen einfachen Loop, um deine Englische Aussprache zu verbessern:

  1. Wähle einen 30-sekündigen Abschnitt des Videos aus (z. B. den Teil mit den sieben Statements).
  2. Spiele ihn einmal ab und höre dir die Intonation und Pausen an.
  3. Spiele ihn erneut ab, aber sprich gleichzeitig mit – shadow speak so nah wie möglich an seine Stimme.
  4. Recordiere dich selbst und vergleiche. Achte darauf, ob du die Betonungen und Rhythmen getroffen hast.
  5. Wiederhole den Vorgang, bis du das Gefühl hast, dass es flüssiger klingt.
Dieser Weg hilft, nicht nur Wörter, sondern auch die natürliche Fluss der Sprache zu lernen. Und vergiss nicht: Fehler sind okay – sie gehören zum Lernen!

Mit diesem Video kannst du nicht nur Englisch sprechen üben, sondern auch von Emma Watsons Mut und Authentizität profitieren. Also mach los – die Welt wartet auf deine Stimme!

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
