Music We're at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington,
2
D.C., where kids politely destroy each other with vocab.
3
They don't get here with talent.
4
They get here with hard work, dedication, and sacrifice.
5
And if they're fortunate enough, they become the champion.
6
Ray, you are the two-challenge guys.
7
What was going through your mind when you were lifting that trophy above your head?
8
You know, I was just so relieved and excited, to be honest.
9
It was just such an amazing moment for me.
10
I was just so happy.
11
How did you celebrate?
12
Not sleep tonight.
13
Yes, let's go!
14
And here is our youngster.
15
They spelled their way through some of the toughest words in the English language,
16
with focus, confidence and composure far beyond their years.
17
It all started with 247 competitors on Tuesday.
18
The youngest, just nine years old.
19
The age limit to compete, 15.
20
Spellers representing all 50 states plus 13 international competitors,
21
all chasing the same dream.
22
Hi.
23
But by Thursday night, the field had been whittled down to just nine finalists.
24
Smart? Of course.
25
These kids can spell words that most adults think are prescription medications.
26
Numinum ultramicroscopic symphal mechanoconiosis.
27
Can you spell that?
28
P-N-U-M-O-N-O-U-L-T-R-A-M-I-C-R-O-S-E-O-P-I-C-S-I-L-I-C-O-B-O-L-C-A-N-L-C-O-N-I-O-S-I-S.
29
That's right.
30
Amarevale.
31
A-M-A-R-E-V-O-L-E.
32
Amarevale.
33
That is correct.
34
Thank you.
35
After spending some time with contestants during the semifinals,
36
one thing became crystal clear.
37
This is not some magical gift.
38
Every speller I spoke with pointed to the same formula.
39
Hard work, discipline, and sacrifice.
40
It's not natural talent that can get you somewhere like scripts.
41
It's more about the hard work you put in because at the end of the day,
42
talent can only take you so far,
43
but to get to such a big stage,
44
you also need to put in lots of work.
45
You have to prepare so much and put in hours and hours on end per day.
46
And you have to make a lot of sacrifices,
47
but it's all worth it in the end because your hard work will pay off.
48
Some study up to 10 hours a day on weekends.
49
And honestly, preparing for this feels a lot like training for a championship in sports.
50
Film study becomes dictionary study.
51
Muscle memory becomes word roots and language patterns.
52
But this is the only competition in sports where one misplaced vow can end your season.
53
I'm sorry, urodymium is U-R-E-D-I-N-I-U-M.
54
Love your enthusiasm.
55
We're gonna hope to see you back.
56
Thank you.
57
Congratulations.
58
For three days, these kids politely dismantled one another with vocabulary,
59
all chasing the $50,000 grand prize.
60
But what stood out most?
61
The motivation was about far more than cash.
62
It's a really great place to be,
63
especially since like a lot of people,
64
I'm surrounded by a lot of people who enjoy the same things that I do.
65
Mostly I just wanted to get to finals and I also wanted to be on live TV.
66
Yeah, let's go!
67
Now, even the contestants eliminated in the earlier rounds,
68
heartbroken their journey was over,
69
many stayed to watch the finals anyway.
70
Not bitter, not jealous, cheering for the very competitors who had just outspelled them them
71
because they understood just how hard everyone worked to get here.
72
It's really fun.
73
It's just been such a fun experience and I've met
74
so many great people like I still have another kid from
75
Minnesota who's like I'm really close with in the beach so I'll be sitting around I'll be cheering for him.
76
I prepared so much and so did they
77
so we might as well like cheer them on for still
78
going for many of these spellers they can finally catch their
79
breath for now at least 78 contestants in this year's field had already competed at the National level before
80
and for those who fell short their comeback story may already be underway.
81
Well, I'm gonna start practicing now so that I'll have a whole year.
82
Long after the final bell rings in the confetti falls,
83
what lingers most isn't the winning word.
84
It's the perseverance, the humility,
85
and a room full of kids proving that excellence and kindness can still exist side by side.
86
Pop quiz, hotshot!
87
Which is the only landlocked country in Southeast Asia?
88
Laos, Vietnam, Indonesia, or Philippines?
89
If you said Laos, I me congratulate you.
90
Despite being the only country in the region to be completely surrounded by land,
91
the Mekong River during its monsoon season can grow to be about 9 miles wide,
92
creating an archipelago known as the 4,000 Islands.
93
There's a new plan now in place for how to rescue the men who have been trapped for a week
94
and have been found alive deep in a cave in Southeast Asia.
95
Video shows rescue divers reaching the group in Laos for a second time,
96
bringing them supplies like headlamps and food.
97
And the villagers then sent back messages to their families that they're okay.
98
The journey to get to them is super tough and super dangerous in and of itself.
99
Teams are using cables to pull themselves through the narrow tunnels,
100
some of them less than two feet wide.
101
And the men, they're about 850 feet deep into the cave.
102
Now part of the plan is to pump water out of the cave and if successful,
103
they're hoping the men can finally exit without needing to dive themselves.
104
Crews are still searching for two more of their group who are missing.
105
As an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo continues to grow, the U.S government is saying
106
that it's focused on keeping the disease out of the U.S.
107
The administration is making plans to send Americans who may have been exposed to the Ebola virus
108
but do not have symptoms to health facilities in Kenya.
109
Officials say the state-of-the-art facility is designed for Americans who would need to quickly get out of the DRC
110
and quarantine without the risks of a lengthy transport back to the U.S.
111
The U.S has its own specialized network of hospitals
112
that are highly equipped to treat Ebola patients that some experts say would be much better suited to handle the situation.
113
Critics warn the plan could be unethical and illegal.
114
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10,
115
a nearly 30-year-long friendship that spans continents founded on one common belief.
116
In 1999, world history teacher Ronald Sokulski saw a news story about a woman
117
and her husband planting trees in the Chinese Maowusu Desert in an effort to fight its desertification,
118
which severely threatens in areas agriculture.
119
At the time, the couple was making $250 a year,
120
but putting it all towards planting trees.
121
I was crying as I watched the news.
122
I saw her on the TV and I said,
123
I want to help her.
124
Moved by their dedication to save their home,
125
Ronald worked with an organization in the U.S and donated $5,000,
126
equivalent to 20 years of income,
127
to the Chinese couple's tremendous work.
128
And since the initial donation,
129
the forest has grown to over 50,000 trees.
130
Ronald says that if two regular people from America and China can create something beautiful,
131
the whole world can work together.
132
All right, sunshine, we have a couple shout outs today.
133
And they're coming to you from some of our erudite orthographers here at the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
134
Shout out to John L.

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。
