5
Mr. Contest Chair, fellow Toastmasters and very welcome guests,
6
I was 16 years of age when I first read those words by Christopher Logue.
7
I had asked my dad for advice on how to win the heart of the most beautiful girl in Ireland.
8
Her name was Helen and I was afraid to talk to her.
9
My dad gave me this book and asked me to read the poem I have just recited for you.
10
Later that evening at our school disco,
11
I spotted Helen across the crowded dance floor.
12
Spurred on by the words,
13
I began to edge nearer.
14
Our eyes seemed to meet just as flash dance started to play.
15
First, when there's nothing but a slow,
16
glowing dream, that your fear seems to hide deep inside your mind.
17
As I edged nearer, I noticed out of the corner of my eye,
18
my best friend Fergus was also walking towards Helen.
19
Then I realized she was looking at him, not at me.
20
I stopped in my tracks as the two of them held hands and started to dance.
21
Come to the edge, climb onto a ledge more like it.
22
But looking back I realize just how important that experience was.
23
Helen may have chosen Fergus but ten years later Fergus chose me as best man at their wedding.
24
And later that evening at their wedding reception,
25
I got to meet my wife for the very first time.
26
I was 36 years of age and I had just failed my driving test for the seventh time.
27
My dad sent me a press clipping about Cha Sa Soon from South Korea.
28
She had sat her driving test not seven times,
29
not 70 times, but 700 times, and still hadn't passed.
30
But she was still trying.
31
At the bottom of the page,
32
my dad had added the words,
33
Remember, come to the edge.
34
It was the boost I needed.
35
I reapplied for the test,
36
took extra lessons, and on the day of the exam,
37
I greeted the examiner warmly with a firm Toastmaster-style handshake.
38
And just one short hour later,
39
I had failed my driving test. For the eighth time.
40
Anyone here need a lift home later on this evening, by the way?
41
No?
42
No takers?
43
It was the worst exam of the lot.
44
I went the wrong way round a mini roundabout.
45
Jumped a red light and worst of all,
46
I reversed into a small bush outside our local garden centre.
47
Centre.
48
Come to the edge, mow down a hedge, more like it.
49
But looking back I realise just how important that experience was.
50
Thanks to the example of Chasasun and the words of the poem,
51
I left the exam centre that day not despondent but determined.
52
And on the 17th of May 2006,
53
I passed my driving test on my ninth attempt.
54
Four years later, to the very day,
55
Cha Sa-soon in South Korea passed her driving test on her 960th attempt.
56
I was 46 years of age and I was on my way to Dublin to visit my dad in hospital.
57
He had gone in for a minor operation
58
and I took with me the book of poetry he had given me as a teenager.
59
I wanted to tell him about the positive impact it had on my life.
60
One hour into the journey I got a call from my sister and I pulled the car over safely to take it.
61
She told me that But my dad had had a heart attack.
62
They had tried to revive him without success.
63
As I sat helplessly in the car,
64
I took the book of poetry from my bag and read Christopher Logue's poem,
65
Come to the Edge Aloud.
66
There was not a sound to be heard,
67
apart from the the distant murmur of the car radio.
68
When I had finished, I closed my eyes.
69
Through the darkness came something on the car radio that I had not heard for over 30 years.
70
First, when there's nothing, But a slow,
71
flowing dream That your fear seems to hide Deep inside your mind.
72
Thirty years ago, my dad gave me this book.
73
He taught me to live life to the full,
74
to have a go, rather than sit it out.
75
If you have a dream,
76
if there's something you'd love to do,
77
but you're afraid of, then I have just one piece of advice.
78
Come to the edge, and who knows, you may fly.
79
Thank you.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
