1
Hi everybody.
2
Anaya, thank you for that beautiful introduction.
3
I could not be prouder of everything you've done in your time with the Obama Foundation.
4
And of course, I couldn't be prouder of all of you in the graduating class of 2020,
5
as well as the teachers and the coaches,
6
and most of all, parents and family who guided you along the way.
7
Now, graduating is a big achievement under any circumstances.
8
Some of you have had to overcome serious obstacles along the way,
9
whether it was an illness or a parent losing a job,
10
or living in a neighborhood where people too often count you out.
11
Along with the usual challenges of growing up,
12
all of you have had to deal with the added pressures of social media,
13
reports of school shootings, and the specter of climate change.
14
And then, just as you're about to celebrate having made it through,
15
just as you've been looking forward to proms and senior nights,
16
graduation ceremonies, and let's face it,
17
a whole bunch of parties,
18
the world is turned upside down by a global pandemic.
19
And as much as I'm sure you love your parents,
20
I'll bet that being stuck at home with them and playing board games or watching Tiger King on TV
21
is not exactly how you envisioned the last few months of your senior year.
22
Now I'll be honest with you,
23
the disappointments of missing a live graduation,
24
mine usually go on way too long.
25
Also, not that many people look great in those caps,
26
especially if you have big ears like me.
27
And you'll have plenty of time to catch up with your friends once the immediate public health crisis is over.
28
But what remains true is that your graduation marks your passage into adulthood,
29
the time when you begin to take charge of your own life.
30
It's when you You get to decide what's important to you,
31
the kind of career you want to pursue,
32
who you want to build a family with,
33
the values you want to live by.
34
And given the current state of the world,
35
that may be kind of scary.
36
If you'd planned on going away for college,
37
getting dropped off at campus in the fall,
38
that's no longer a given.
39
If you are planning to work while going to school,
40
finding that first job is going to be tougher.
41
Even families that are relatively well off are dealing with massive uncertainty.
42
Those who were struggling before,
43
they're hanging on by a thread.
44
All of which means that you're going to have to grow up faster than some generations.
45
This pandemic has shaken up the status quo and laid bare a lot of our country's deep-seated problems.
46
From massive economic inequality, to ongoing racial disparities,
47
to a lack of basic health care for people who need it.
48
It's woken a lot of young people up to the fact that the old ways of doing things just don't work.
49
That it doesn't matter how much money you make if everyone around you is hungry and sick.
50
And that our society and our democracy only work when we think not just about ourselves but about each other.
51
It's also pulled the curtain back on another hard truth,
52
something that we all have to eventually accept once our childhood comes to an end.
53
You know, all those adults that you used to think were in charge and knew what they were doing?
54
Turns out they don't have all the answers.
55
A lot of them aren't even asking the right questions.
56
So if the world's going to get better,
57
it's going to be up to you.
58
My realization may be kind of intimidating,
59
but I hope it's also inspiring.
60
With all the challenges this country faces right now,
61
nobody can tell you, no,
62
you're too young to understand,
63
or this is how it's always been done.
64
Because with so much uncertainty,
65
with everything suddenly up for grabs,
66
this is your generation's world to shape.
67
Since I'm one of the old guys,
68
I won't tell you what to do with this power that rests in your hands.
69
But I'll leave you with three quick pieces of advice.
70
First, don't be afraid.
71
America has gone through tough times before.
72
Slavery, civil war, famine, disease,
73
the Great Depression, and 9-11.
74
And each time, we came out stronger.
75
Usually because a new generation,
76
young people like you, learned from past mistakes and figured out how to make things better.
77
Second, do what you think is right.
78
Doing what feels good, what's convenient,
79
what's easy, that's how little kids think.
80
Unfortunately, a lot of so-called grown-ups,
81
including some with fancy titles and important jobs, still think that way.
82
Which is why things are so screwed up.
83
I hope that instead you decide to ground yourself in values that last.
84
honesty, hard work, responsibility, fairness, generosity, respect for others.
85
You won't get it right every time.
86
You'll make mistakes like we all do.
87
But if you listen to the truth that's inside yourself,
88
even when it's hard, even when it's inconvenient, people will notice.
89
They'll gravitate towards you.
90
And you'll be part of the solution instead of part of the problem.
91
And finally, build a community.
92
No one does big things by themselves.
93
Right now, when people are scared,
94
it's easy to be cynical and say,
95
let me just look out for myself or my family or people who look or think or pray like me.
96
But if we're going to get through these difficult times,
97
if we're going to create a world where everybody has opportunity to find a job and afford college,
98
if we're going to save the environment and defeat future pandemics,
99
then we're going to have to do it together.
100
So be alive to one another's struggles.
101
Stand up for one another's rights.
102
Leave behind all the old ways of thinking that divide us.
103
Sexism, racial prejudice, status, greed,
104
and set the world on a different path.
105
When you need help, Michelle
106
and I have made it the mission of our foundation to give young people like you the skills
107
and support to lead in your own communities
108
and to connect you with other young leaders around the country and around the globe.
109
But the truth is you don't need us to tell you what to do
110
because in so many ways you've already started to lead.
111
Congratulations class of 2020.
112
Keep making us proud.
113
Thank you.

なぜこの動画で話す練習をするべきか？
この動画では、バラク・オバマ氏が2020年の卒業生たちに向けた特別なメッセージを伝えています。彼のスピーチは、未来への希望や挑戦をテーマにしています。このような実際のスピーチを通じて、英語の発音を良くするだけでなく、感情を込めた表現方法も学べます。さらに、社会問題についての考え方や、キャリア選択に関する洞察も得られ、多角的な視点で英語を学ぶことができます。
文法と表現の文脈分析
オバマ氏のスピーチからいくつかの重要な文法構造と表現を分析します：
- 過去完了形：「You have had to overcome serious obstacles」など、過去の出来事が今の状況にどう影響しているかを示す構造です。これにより、リスナーに共感を呼び起こします。
- 条件文：「If you are planning to work while going to school」など、仮定の状況に基づく未来の可能性について話す方法を示しています。
- 逆接の接続詞：「But what remains true is that」などの使用は、異なる意見を和らげつつ、重要なポイントを強調する技術です。
これらの構造を理解することで、英語シャドーイングの練習に役立ちます。
よくある発音トラップ
この動画では、いくつかの難しい単語やフレーズが含まれています。特に注意が必要なのは以下の点です：
- 「neighborhood」：日本語にはない音が含まれており、英語特有の発音練習が求められます。
- 「disappoint」：この単語の発音は、ストレスのかけ方が難しく、注意が必要です。
- 「overcome」：母音の連結が自然に聞こえるため、流暢に叩き込むための練習に最適です。
これらのトラップを意識して練習することで、英語の発音を良くするだけでなく、自信を持ってスピーチを行うための基盤を築くことができます。shadow speakのテクニックを使えば、発音をより一層向上させることができるでしょう。
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。
