Welcome, dear learners.

I'm Anna, and today we'll dive into an inspiring speech by Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States.
3
This speech is filled with valuable lessons, but we'll also focus on its language structure, grammar and unique phrases to enhance your English comprehension.
4
Ready?
5
Let's get started.
6
Point number one.
7
Now, when you hear someone longing for the good old days, take it with a grain of salt.
8
Take it with a grain of salt.
9
We live in a great nation, and we are rightly proud of our history.
10
We are beneficiaries of the labor and the grit and the courage of generations who came before.
11
But I guess it's part of human nature, especially in times of change and uncertainty,
12
to want to look backwards and long for some imaginary past when everything worked,
13
and the economy hummed, and all politicians were wise, and every child was well -mannered, and America pretty much did whatever it wanted around the world.
14
Guess what, it ain't something.
15
In this section, Obama employs repetition in, take it with a grain of salt, which emphasizes his point.
16
This phrase means to be skeptical or doubtful about something.
17
He claims to be an expert, but take it with a grain of salt.
18
Also, notice the use of the past simple in, we lived and we were, expressing completed actions in the past the good old days weren't all
19
that good yes there have been some stretches in our history where the economy grew much faster
20
or when government ran more smoothly there were moments
21
when immediately after world war ii for example or at the end of the cold war before, when the world bent more easily to our will.
22
But those are sporadic, those moments, those episodes.
23
In fact, by almost every measure, America is better and the world is better than it was 50 years ago
24
or 30 years ago or even eight years ago.
25
Here, Obama uses the past simple tense, as in the economy grew, to describe historical facts.
26
The word sporadic means occurring irregularly.
27
Sporadic rain showers are expected throughout the day.
28
He contrasts the past with the present, making comparisons using the comparative form better.
29
And by the way, I'm not — set aside 150 years ago,
30
pre -Civil War — there's a whole bunch of stuff there we could talk about — set aside life in the 50s,
31
when women and people of color were systematically excluded from big chunks of American life.
32
Since I graduated in 1983, which isn't that long ago,
33
I'm just saying, crime rates,
34
teenage pregnancy, the share of Americans living in poverty, they're all down.
35
The share of Americans with college educations have gone way up our life expectancy has as well.
36
Blacks and Latinos have risen up the ranks in business and politics.
37
More women are in the workforce.
38
They're earning more money.
39
Although it's long past time that we pass laws to make sure
40
that women are getting the same pay for the same work as men.
41
Notice the ellipsis in I'm not set aside, which shows a pause or omission.
42
He also uses the present perfect in have gone way up, indicating a connection between the past and present.
43
The phrase long past time means something that should have happened earlier.
44
Example, it's long past time for him to take responsibility.
45
Meanwhile, in eight years since most of you started high school, we're also better off.
46
You and your fellow graduates are entering the job market with better prospects than any time since 2007.
47
20 million more Americans know the financial security of health insurance.
48
We're less dependent on foreign oil.
49
We've doubled the production of clean energy.
50
We have cut the high school dropout rate.
51

52
Marriage equality is the law of the land.
53
And just as America's better, the world is better than when I graduate.

Since I graduated, an iron curtain fell, apartheid ended, there's more democracy,
55
we virtually eliminated certain diseases like polio, we've cut extreme poverty drastically,
56
we've cut infant mortality by an enormous amount.
57
Now, I say all these things not to make you complacent.
58
We got a bunch of big problems to solve.
59
But I say it to point out that change has been a constant in our history, and the reason America's better is because we didn't look backwards.
60
We didn't fear the future.
61
We seized the future and made it our own.
62
And that's exactly why it's always been young people like you that have brought about big change.
63
Because you don't fear the future.
64
This section contains numbers and statistical facts utilizing the present perfect as in we've doubled.

they become breeding grounds for terrorists and ideologies of nihilism and despair that ultimately can reach our shores.

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。
