Take a look.
6
Eileen Gu.
7
This is what February looked like for 18-year-old freestyle skier Eileen Gu, golden.
8
Oh my god, I'm not crying, I'm not crying.
9
The American born teen who grew up in California won, not one, not two, but three Olympic medals for Team China,
10
honoring her mother's home country on the international stage.
11
The golds in big air
12
and half pipe make Eileen the youngest freestyle skiing champion in Olympic history
13
and the first freestyle skier to win three medals at a single winter Olympics.
14
She used her podium finishes as a platform to cheer on the next generation of young women in her sports.
15
Always been about encouraging girls, it's always been about showing people what's possible.
16
A mission Eileen has been on since she was in 7th grade.
17
I encourage you all to step out of your comfort zone to show the boys
18
that girls are just as powerful as they are.
19
Since Beijing, Eileen's gone from smashing records in historic fashion to becoming a fashion icon,
20
making a name for herself as one of the faces of luxury brands Louis Vuitton and Tiffany's,
21
rocking both on the red carpet at fashion's famous first Monday in May, the Met Gala.
22
Eileen, it's so good to have you in studio.
23
By the way, you really are the whole package.
24
I mean, Savannah and I were just talking about you.
25
You, first of all, an Olympic gold medalist.
26
You're everything in fashion.
27
What did you get on your SATs?
28
I got a 1580 on my SAT.
29
Okay.
30
Did you study?
31
Do you study all the time?
32
Are you a hard worker or do things just come easy for you?
33
I did take every single available online test for the SAT.
34
So I'm not going to sit back and be like, oh, it was easy.
35
But yeah, it was just standardized tests and you can study for them.
36
Well, hard work seems to be your theme.
37
when you got those medals in Beijing, was it a pinch-me moment, or was it like lots and lots of practice that happened to work out perfectly on that day?
38
I think it was both.
39
The really standout moment for me was when I landed that 1620 in Big Air, which was my first event.
40
And I've always said, you know, my message is about inspiring young girls
41
and inspiring more people to hear about the sport and to use it as a force to create interconnection and cross-cultural communication.
42
And I knew that it was such a big moment, and there were so many people watching, and it was my time to live up to that standard that I've set.
43
And so in that sense, I was like, no matter what, there is no failure, because if I don't land, the worst failure is to not try.
44
So I just wanted to try it.
45
And I'd never done it before.
46
I'd never even tried it on airbag or anything and landed it, got that gold medal.
47
And I was on top of the world.
48
Well, your mom taught you well.
49
You can tell that she's always supporting you.
50
She's actually here in studio and you did make a decision to compete for China
51
and I was just wondering the thought process because I know
52
that wasn't an easy decision I know it came with backlash
53
so tell me about that piece yeah
54
so for me it's always been about using force using sport as a force of communication
55
and especially in a sport like free skiing it's so free it's
56
so personal you use it and it's creative there's style
57
and a lot of people in China had never even heard of it
58
and So kind of introducing that sport culture to younger girls, especially, is it changed my life, you know.
59
And so to be able to have that kind of contact with the sport.
60
And now there are 300 million people in China who've gone on snow after the Winter Olympics.
61
And that impact is absolutely insane.
62
Did you feel like you needed to have a thick skin for what came at you after that?
63
Absolutely.
64
I mean, people always have their own opinions.
65
But for me, what I try to stick to is I know that there's no wrong or right.
66
There's only intention.
67
I'm trying to make the world a better place in my own way.
68
And if people disagree with that, that's okay.
69
And I just encourage them to make the world better in their way, right?
70
We can approach this situation from different standpoints.
71
So yeah, teach their own.
72
So you're going to Stanford.
73
Is that next on your list?
74
I'm going to college in the fall.
75
Yeah.
76
Oh my gosh.
77
So you're going to college in the fall.
78
You're a model.
79
You do all that stuff.
80
Are we going to see you at the Olympics again? Is
81
that going to happen do you think who knows I mean
82
honestly I really love skiing still it is a very personal
83
and expressive part of me
84
and I think it makes me who I am it's taught me resilience it's taught me
85
that um cross-cultural communication and so in that sense yeah I think why not
86
but yeah let's see how school goes first you are a lovely
87
and delightful person
88
and again your mom's here cheering you on no one's beaming bigger than she is I don't know
89

90
because we did oh good I just want I just want to make sure
91

Cosa imparerai con questo clip

Questo video è una risorsa eccellente per la pratica di conversazione in inglese e per migliorare la tua capacità di esprimerti con chiarezza e confidenza. Imparerai a strutturare frasi complesse su temi come il successo, il lavoro duro e i valori personali, oltre a gestire domande spontanee in un contesto colloquiale. Inoltre, potrai esercitarti a usare espressioni idiomatiche come "pinch-me moment" o "step out of your comfort zone", fondamentali per parlare come un madrelingua.

Ascolta questi suoni

Nella conversazione, nota l'uso della connected speech: ad esempio, "it was" si trasforma in "it's" (pronunciato /its/) e "I've always" diventa /aɪv ˈɔːlweɪz/. Osserva anche le riduzioni come "don't" (/doʊnt/) e "didn't" (/ˈdɪdənt/), che rendono il discorso più fluido. Un altro punto chiave è l'intonazione: Eileen usa una tonalità alta per esprimere entusiasmo ("Oh my god, I'm not crying!") e una più calma per spiegare concetti serii, come nel frase "the worst failure is to not try".

Parla come un native con lo shadow speech

Per migliorare la tua pronuncia inglese e la fluenza, usa la tecnica dello shadow speech: ascolta una frase di Eileen, pausa e ripeterla immediatamente, cercando di imitare il ritmo, l'intonazione e le connessioni tra le parole. Ad esempio, ripeti "I did take every single available online test for the SAT" concentrandoti su come "did take" è pronunciato con enfasi su "did" per sottolineare il lavoro duro. Prova anche con frasi più lunghe, come "no matter what, there is no failure, because if I don't land, the worst failure is to not try": nota come "no matter what" è pronunciato velocemente e "not try" ha un accento su "try". Lo shadow speak ti aiuterà a internalizzare le dinamiche del discorso inglese e a comunicare con più naturalezza. Ricorda: la pratica costante è la chiave, come per Eileen nei suoi allenamenti o negli esami SAT!

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
