1
Every step is taken upon the soul of my homeland.
2
Each person is a coordinate of memory, a place where heritage is written through their own story.
3
As a child of the Mekong Delta, I grew up amid vast rippling waters, immersed in the folk songs and melodies that carry the warmth of my homeland.
4
It is those voices from the people that quietly planted within me a profound love for Eastern history and culture.
5
With a deep passion for ancient culture, I often reflect on the legacy left by my ancestors.
6
In the depths of my heart, I constantly remind myself to transform the yearning of youth into a genuine pursuit of knowledge.
7
I long to travel, to see, and to gain a deeper understanding of my homeland, to seek its meaning within the flow of time.
8
And so, at the age of 15, I left my hometown to study in the city.
9
It was there that my teachers and friends guided me onto the path of reading.
10
Every page of a book felt like a gateway through time, leading me back to my homeland and its history, and allowing me to touch the Eastern culture and profound wisdom that I hold in deep reverence.
11
At the age of 17, I once again left my hometown, this time for Hanoi, the millennial capital of culture and learning.
12
There, I could feel the very breath of history more vividly than ever.
13
Every street and alley, every tile upon a rooftop, every toll of a temple bell seemed to whisper the stories of generations past of those who once lived and loved,
14
and who, within the rhythm of heaven and earth, left behind their own cultural legacy.
15
On this land of a thousand years of learning, I gradually came to realize that for countless generations, our ancestors have tirelessly recorded,
16
interpreted, and passed down their wisdom.
17
Distilling it into every page of writing and transmitting it from one generation to the next, like an unending flame handed down through time.
18
On my own life's journey, I too aspire to become a spark in that enduring fire, one that continues the light and warmth of those who came before me.
19
United by our love for books, we found one another and began collecting pages as if gathering fragments of the sky of knowledge.
20
Time flowed quietly, and the books in our hands grew steadily.
21
Now, over a thousand volumes breathe within a small space, a miniature world filled with stories.
22
Books have guided me through countless crossroads in life, and from this, a fervent dream quietly took root, to carry those words to faraway places.
23
Thus, the project Books to Your Hands was born, naturally, like a breath, continuing the journey of spreading knowledge.
24
Looking into the children's eyes, I seem to see my younger self.
25
The rural boy who once longed to touch the world through the pages of a book.
26
I have always believed that every book given is a seat of hope.
27
It is through these experiences that I have come to understand, I do not merely love reading, but am deeply passionate about studying and exploring culture in history.
28
Every page of a chronicle, every custom, every ancient tale is not only a trace of the past, but also a silent bridge connecting people of today with countless generations before us.
29
I have always hoped that, through my own understanding and respect for traditional values, I might in some way narrow the distance between people, between regions, and even between nations.
30
So that we may communicate not only through the language of the present, but also through shared cultural memory, historical continuity, and the resonance of the human spirit.
31
I have traveled across the three major regions of Vietnam, and no matter where I go, the image of my homeland always reappears before me in its own unique way.
32
My hometown comes to life in me through my grandmother's warm laughter, through the busy figure of my maternal grandma rapping bontette every time Lunar New Year returns,
33
and through the glowing hearth that stays awake, waiting for the family to gather.
34
My hometown is also the image of my father toiling in the garden, and the love I wholeheartedly devote to my dearest ones.
35
Above all, it is the continuation carried on by the generations to come.
36
The more I traveled, the more I longed to see the face of that benevolent mother, my homeland.
37
Yet I gradually realized that if we view it only through the lens, all we see is the land's beauty and splendor,
38
what truly nurtures the soul of our homeland is the people's patriotism and kindness.
39
It is a power that spans generations, embodied in seemingly ordinary yet profoundly heartfelt sayings, la land dung la rache, the good leaf wraps the torn leaf.
40
Bòa Thuong Lê Bí Cung, Gords must love one another, and Thuong Nhu Bí Nú Thuong then, love others as yourself.
41
These words are not merely admonitions, they are an invisible red thread quietly stitching together the peace of the Vietnamese spirit that lives in each of our hearts.
42
On this long journey, I have come to deeply understand that what my homeland Vietnam has given me is not material wealth, but the most precious gift of all.
43
A heart of gratitude and the warmth of human connection Through my own story, I hope to convey to international friends one of my homeland's most treasured legacies,
44
the Vietnamese people's gratitude and their warmth and inclusiveness.
45
At the same time, I wish to share this message, every individual is a coordinate in memory, a place where culture is written through one's own story.
46
If this small video can inspire in you a desire to set foot on Vietnamese soil, that would be my greatest joy.
47
I sincerely hope to embark on this journey together with you.
48
Thank you.
このビデオで話す練習をする理由は？
このビデオは、ベトナム文化や歴史への深い愛情を表現しつつ、自己の成長を探求する内容です。話し手の個人的な体験を通じて、感情を込めた表現を学ぶことができます。このような視点を持つことは、IELTS スピーキング対策にも非常に役立ちます。話し手がどう感情を表現し、具体的な思いを言葉にするかを理解することで、自分のスピーキング能力向上に繋がります。また、情熱を持って母国を語ることで、聞き手に共感を呼びこむ力を身につけることができます。
文法 & 表現の文脈
このビデオでは、以下のような重要な構文が使用されています:
- 「〜することができる」: 未来の目標について話す際に使われる表現で、可能性を強調します。例: 「私はもっと深く母国を理解したい。」
- 「〜を通じて」: 経験から学びや成長を表現する際に使用します。例: 「本を通じて、知識を広めることを目指しています。」
- 「〜によって」: 原因と結果を結びつける構文です。例: 「祖先によって記録された知恵を伝えています。」
これらの表現を習得することは、英語の発音を良くするためにも非常に重要です。生きた英語に触れることで、より自然な言い回しが身につきます。
一般的な発音の落とし穴
ビデオ中で特に難しい発音や強調される単語は以下の通りです:
- 「祖先」(ancestors): 子音「c」と「s」の発音が混同されやすい。
- 「文化」(culture): 種類によって「カルチャー」とも聞こえるため、注意が必要。
- 「母国」(homeland): 「h」の発音を意識することで、よりクリアに伝わります。
これらの単語に自信が持てるようになると、自然な流れで話せるようになり、shadowspeakやshadow speakを通じて、リスニングとスピーキングのスキルを向上させることができるでしょう。お手本としてビデオを何度も観ることで、自分の発音を修正する助けになります。
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。
