1
However, appearances can be also deceiving.
2
In many ways, life in Kosovo is tough, and it undeniably bears the scars of years of war.
3
Even for those who mercifully escaped the war, it nonetheless leaves its legacy.
4
My parents left Kosovo in 1992 as tensions were rising.
5
While they were fortunate enough to make a good life in London, London, there were years when they knew they couldn't return home.
6
Wow, good evening.
7
Or as we say in Kosovo, Mir Marama.
8
Thank you, Damon, so much for your generous remarks.
9
And thank you, Atlantic Council.
10
You have been and continue to be a great friend to Kosovo.
11
And it truly is an honor to be here to celebrate the 60th anniversary.
12
I'm humbled to share the stage with tonight's honorees, Dr. Burla, Dr. Turechi, Professor Sahin.
13
Thank you so much for everything that you've done to help us tackle the COVID pandemic.
14
Your Excellency, Miss Wondelajan, thank you for your leadership.
15
And I can only apologize for the sleepless nights my other country must have caused you during these long
16
and painful Brexit negotiations.
17
I stand before you as a child of Kosovo, who was born and raised in the United Kingdom, and is here today as the guest of the United States.
18
I come from a place most of you will have heard of, but perhaps not in the way I'm about to describe.
19
I want to share with you a little bit about my Kosovo.
20
Kosovans love to party, which is no surprise, perhaps as 50% of the population is under 25 years old.
21
I'm officially old in Kosovo.
22
I had a story recently about a visitor that went to Pristina, the capital city of Kosovo,
23
being kept awake until the small hours by a lively crowd at a bar opposite her hotel.
24
The next morning she asked the reception what the occasion was and they said that?
25
Oh, that was just Monday.
26
Christina has a wonderful cafe culture.
27
Forget grabbing coffee on the go, dress sharp, pull up a seat and watch the world go by.
28
It's very European.
29
For a small country, Kosovo is bursting with creativity and I could reel off examples but here are just a few.
30
Hive, a beautiful Cosburn film, took three major awards at this year's Sundance.
31
Watch out for it at the Oscars.
32
Pristina will also host Manifesto next year,
33
which is a contemporary art and culture biennale that will see the city overtaken with public art exhibitions and installations.
34
And journalists from highly respected publications speculate on what must be in the water to produce so many successful music artists.
35
All I can say is give us a chance and we will excel.
36
In 2018, my dad and I founded the Sunny Hill Festival in Pristina
37
and it quickly became one of the biggest music festivals in the region.
38
It's been a lifelong dream of ours to bring artists to Kosovo, not just so fans can see their favorite bands,
39
but so that the visiting bands can experience our own brilliant and diverse music scene.
40
The second part of our dream will soon become reality, and I couldn't be more excited to share our plans for the Sunny Hill Foundation with you.
41
We've signed an MOU to create the Sunny Hill Arts and Innovation Center in Pristina, and we very much hope that work will start next summer.
42
Thank you.
43
It will be a creative space where young people can learn about music production and performance.
44
For those who want to break into the industry, there will be workshops run by visiting artists and producers from all over the world who will share what they've learned.
45
And for others, the center will be a place to build confidence, learn some skills, and most importantly of all, have some fun.
46
The first concert I ever went to was Method Man and Red Man.
47
It was in Pristina, and I was 13.
48
It was a bit random, really cool, and definitely not quite age-appropriate.
49
But it wasn't like I had any actual choice of shows.
50
Kosovo is just too small a market to be included on most world tours.
51
So now we bring artists to Kosovo.
52
And without exception, everyone that we've invited to perform at the Sunny Hill Festival, from Miley Cyrus to Calvin Harris, is just blown away by the whole experience.
53
They say it's one of the best shows they've ever done as the energy is so roaring, the audience so present, and the welcome so sincere.
54
The best performances are when you have that really great chemistry with the audience, and that somehow always seems to happen at Sunny Hill.
55
However, appearances can be also deceiving.
56
In many ways, life in Kosovo is tough, and it undeniably bears the scars of years of war.
57
Even for those who mercifully escaped the war, it nonetheless leaves its legacy.
58
My parents left Kosovo in 1992 as tensions were rising.
59
While they were fortunate enough to make a good life in London, there were years when they knew they couldn't return home.
60
That must have caused a pain I can only imagine.
61
Sometimes when I talk to my parents about this time, they can speak for hours.
62
And other times it's just too exhausting and they say they feel they've lived through 300 years.
63
For me, having this dual identity has actually been really positive.
64
I'm always flattered when people comment on what they call my immigrant work ethic.
65
It's true, it's a gift that's been passed down the generations.
66
But even with a determined and bold national spirit, it takes time to recover and find a new footing.
67
Today, Kosovo still faces many challenges and often it's the young generation who bear the brunt of it.
68
Young people struggle to find work and their opportunities are hampered by restrictions
69
that make it difficult to travel for work or pleasure.
70
After we fulfilled all the criteria,
71
the European Commission actually recommended visa liberalization for Kosovo for more than three years ago.
72
So do you think we could get that done now?
73
Kosovo is also the youngest country in Europe in another way.
74
We are just 13 short years into our journey of independence
75
and as part of a strong international community we will thrive emotionally we will thrive economically
76
and culturally it's in our dna while it still breaks my heart
77
that the united kingdom chose to leave the european union rather than dwell on this i would rather recall
78
that the first purpose of the eu is to secure peace through unity
79
Wouldn't it be fitting if Kosovo could take its place within that peaceful union, thrive economically alongside our neighbors,
80
and heal the hurt of recent conflict?
81
With that vision in mind,
82
I accept this award with gratitude for all the young people of Kosovo,
83
and to receive it on their behalf, I would like to invite Kosovo's own young leader, Her Excellency President Vyorsas Mane, to the stage.
84
you

このビデオでは、デュア・リパのスピーチのトーンやリズムに注目することが重要です。彼女のスピーチは、感情が豊かで、時折ゆっくりとしたペースで進むため、英語シャドーイングの絶好の素材です。まずは、ビデオを何度か視聴し、彼女の発音やイントネーションを聞きつけましょう。

次に、YouTubeで英語学習を活用し、一文ずつ真似る「shadowspeaks」を試みてください。特に感情を込めて発声することを意識すると、より自然な英語の発音を良くすることができます。

また、彼女のスピーチのスピードに合せて練習すると、実際の会話でも自分の言葉で表現する能力が向上します。コソボや文化的な要素についての知識も広げつつ、英語力をさらに磨いていきましょう。

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
