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.

Obiettivi di parlato per questo clip

Questo video di Emma Watson è perfetto per lavorare sulla fluency e sulla capacità di esprimere emozioni e riflessioni complesse in inglese. Il discorso, ricco di pausa, enfasi e connessioni logiche, aiuta a raggiungere la tappa dove la lingua non è solo una serie di parole, ma uno strumento per trasmettere valori. Ideale per chi vuole passare da una conversazione base a un discorso più articolato, soprattutto in contesti formali o motivazionali.

Banca di frasi riutilizzabili

  • "Baptism of fire" (Prova difficile iniziale): "Gli ultimi due anni sono stato un baptism of fire per dire il meno."
  • "Open Pandora's box" (Aprire una scatola di Pandora): "Avevo aperto Pandora's box con un standing ovation."
  • "Ripples of hope" (Onde di speranza): "Ogni azione invia forth ripples of hope che diventano un fiume."
  • "Find your tribe" (Trovare la tua tribù): "La mia speranza è che tu trovi your tribe tra questi ragazzi."

Correggi i tuoi punti deboli

Il discorso di Emma è ottimo per migliorare la pronuncia inglese e il ritmo, soprattutto nella gestione delle pause e delle enfasi. Nota come elle usa la intonazione per enfatizzare parole chiave come "scary first step" o "unstoppable current". Per esercitarti, usa la tecnica del shadowing in inglese: ascolta una frase, pausa e ripetila immediatamente, cercando di imitare il tono e la velocità. Questo metodo, anche chiamato shadowspeak, aiuta a rafforzare la memoria muscolare e a rendere il tuo parlato più naturale.

Un altro punto da lavorare è la connessione tra le frasi. Emma usa espressioni come "and yet", "because the truth is" o "apart from" per creare flusso. Pratica a integrare queste congiunzioni nelle tue conversazioni: è il segreto per passare da una pratica di conversazione in inglese base a una più fluida. Ricorda: imparare l'inglese con YouTube non è solo guardare video, ma analizzare e ripetere i modi in cui i madrelingua usano la lingua.

La grammatica di questo video

Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:

StrutturaNel video
Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adessohave been · has made · have inspired
Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fawere followed · were confirmed · be lifted

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.
