Shadowing Practice: Donald Trump _ Speech (Shadowing technique) - Learn English Speaking with Video

Thank you very much everybody.

And congratulations to the class of 2017.

That's some achievement.

This is your day and you've earned every minute of it.

And I'm thrilled to be back at Liberty University.

I've been here, this is now my third time, and we love setting records, right?

We always set records.

We have to set records.

We have no choice.

It's been a little over a year since I've spoken on your beautiful campus, and so much has changed.

Right here, the class of 2017, dressed in cap and gown,

graduating to a totally brilliant future.

and here I am standing before you as president of the United States

so I'm guessing there are some people here today who thought

that either one of those things either one would really require major help from God do we agree and we got it

But here we are celebrating together on this very joyous occasion.

And there is no place in the world I'd rather be

to give my first commencement address as president than here with my wonderful friends at Liberty University.

And I accepted this invitation a long time ago.

I said to Jerry that I'd be there, and when I say something, I mean it.

I want to thank President Jerry Falwell and his incredible wife, Becky.

Say it enough, Becky.

For their kind words, their steadfast support, and their really wonderful friendship.

Let me also extend our appreciation to the entire Falwell family.

Trey, Sarah, Wesley, Laura and Caroline.

Thank you for everything you do to make this university so exceptional.

One of the truly great, great schools.

Most importantly to our new graduates, each of you should take immense pride in what you have achieved.

There's another group of amazing people we want to celebrate today,

and they are the ones who have made this journey possible for you

and you know who

that is nobody you forgot already you're going to go out

you're going to do whatever you're going to do some are

going to make a lot of money some are going to be even happier doing other things they're your parents

and your grandparents don't forget them you haven't forgotten yet have you never ever forget them they're great

and especially this weekend let's make sure we give a really

extra special thanks to the moms don't forget our moms because graduates today is your day

today is your day but in all of this excitement don't forget that tomorrow is mother's day right

I had a great mother.

She's looking down now, but I had a great mother.

I always loved Mother's Day.

We're also deeply honored to be joined by some of the nearly 6,000 service members,

military veterans, and military spouses who are receiving their diplomas today. Would you please stand?

Please stand.

Wow.

That's great.

Thank you very much.

Great job.

We're profoundly grateful to every single one of you who sacrificed to keep us safe

and to protect God's precious gift of freedom.

It is truly a testament to this university and to the values

that you embrace that your Your graduating class includes so many patriots who have served our country in uniform.

Thank you very much.

To the class of 2017, today you end one chapter,

but you are about to begin the greatest adventure of your life.

Just think for a moment of how blessed you are to be here today at this great,

great university, living in this amazing country,

surrounded by people who you love and care about so much then ask yourself with all of those blessings

and all of the blessings

that you've been given what will you give back to this country

and indeed to the world what imprint will you leave in

the sands of history what What will future Americans say we did in our brief time right here on Earth? Did we take risks?

Did we dare to defy expectations?

Did we challenge accepted wisdom and take on established systems?

I think I did, but we all did.

And we're all doing it.

Or did we just go along with convention, swim downstream so easily with the current,

and just give in because it was the easy way, it was the traditional way,

or it was the accepted way?

Remember this, nothing worth doing ever, ever, ever came easy.

your convictions means you must be willing to face criticism from

those who lack the same courage to do what is right

and they know what is right but they don't have the courage

or the guts or the stamina to take it and to do it.

It's called the road less traveled.

I know that each of you will be a warrior for the truth,

will be a warrior for our country and for your family.

I know that each of you will do what is right, not what is the easy way,

and that you will be true to yourself and your country and your beliefs.

In my short time in Washington, I've seen firsthand how the system is broken.

a small group of failed voices who think they know everything

and understand everyone want to tell everybody else how to live

and what to do and how to think

but you aren't going to let other people tell you what you believe especially when you know that you're right

And those of you graduating here today who have given half a million hours of charity last year alone,

unbelievable amount of work and charity and few universities or colleges can claim anything even close.

We don't need a lecture from Washington on how to lead our lives.

I'm standing here looking at the next generation of American leaders.

There may very well be a president or two in our midst.

Anybody think they're going to be president?

Raise your hand.

In your hearts are inscribed the values of service, sacrifice, and devotion.

Now you must go forth into the world and turn your hopes and dreams into action.

America has always been the land of dreams because America is a nation of true believers.

When the pilgrims landed at Plymouth, they prayed.

When the founders wrote the Declaration of Independence, they invoked our Creator four times.

Because in America, we don't worship government, we worship God.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
