1
Congratulations to the class of 2020.
2
Some of you have graduated already.
3
Some of you still have finals.
4
All of you should be very proud.
5
Graduation is a big achievement under any circumstances.
6
Yours comes as the world is turned upside down by a pandemic and by a country that's been swept up by protest.
7
I can barely imagine how head spinning these last few months have been for you.
8
Just as winter was thawing and you were thinking about spring break,
9
those of you who were away at college were either whisked home or stayed behind on a shuttered campus.
10
Most of you had to finish semesters online, which had its ups and downs.
11
You didn't have to worry about what you wore to class, but watching your teachers and professors try to work
12
Zoom wasn't always pretty either.
13
Either way, none of this is how any of you imagined finishing your final spring at school.
14
Now, even if we can't all gather in person, I want you to remember that a graduation ceremony doesn't celebrate just a moment in time.
15
It's the culmination of all your years of learning about the world and about yourself.
16
The friends and family who supported you every step of the way, they aren't celebrating a piece of paper.
17
They're celebrating you, how you've grown, the challenges you've overcome, and the experiences experiences you've shared.
18
You can see that love in all the amazing ways that families have come up with their own at -home graduations,
19
from drive -by parades to handmade yard signs.
20
The point is, don't let the lack of a big, crowded ceremony take anything away from what your graduation signifies.
21
Go ahead and bask in the glory of your achievement.
22
And wherever you are, take lots of photos although when I look at my graduation pictures,
23
the main thing I realize is that I should have gotten a haircut more often.
24
Now, as was true for generations before you, graduation marks your final passage into adulthood,
25
the time when you're expected to fully take charge of your life's direction.
26
It's when you get to decide what's important to you, the career you want to pursue, the values you want to live by,
27
who you want to build a family with.
28
That can be intimidating even under normal circumstances.
29
And given the current state of things, let's face it, it can be downright scary.
30
It's fair to say that your generation is graduating into a world that faces more profound challenges than any generation in decades.
31
It can feel like everything's up for grabs right now.
32
A lot of this uncertainty is the direct result of COVID -19.
33
The 100 ,000 lives it's taken from us.
34
The economic disruption it's caused.
35
No one can say for sure how much longer the crisis will last.
36
A lot of that will depend on the choices we make as a country.
37
But, you know, it will eventually end.
38
Vaccines and treatments will emerge.
39
The economy will begin to heal, and life will start returning to normal.
40
And you'll still have your whole life ahead of you.
41
The thing is, Class of 2020, what these past few weeks have also shown us is
42
that the challenges we face go well beyond a virus virus and that the old normal wasn't good enough.
43
It wasn't working that well.
44
In a lot of ways, the pandemic just brought into focus problems that have been growing for a very long time, whether it's widening economic inequality,
45
the lack of basic health care for millions of people, the continuing scourge of bigotry and sexism,
46
or the divisions and dysfunction that plague our political system.
47
Similarly, the protests in response to the killing of George Floyd
48
and Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery and Nina Pop aren't simply a reaction to those particular tragedies, as heartbreaking as they are.
49
They speak to decades'
50
worth of anguish and frustration over unequal treatment and a failure to reform police practices in the broader criminal justice system.
51
These shocks to the system that we're seeing right now, just as you prepare to go out into of the world,
52
they remind us that we can't take things for granted.
53
We have to work to make things better.
54
They remind us that our individual well -being depend on the well -being of the community that we live in.
55
And it doesn't matter how much money you make if everyone around you is hungry and sick.
56
It reminds you that our country and our democracy only function when we think not just about ourselves, but also about each other.
57
So, as scary and uncertain as these times may be, they are also a wake -up call.
58
And they're an incredible opportunity for your generation.
59
Because you don't have to accept what was considered normal before.
60
You don't have to accept the world as it is.
61
You can make it into the world as it should be and could be.
62
You can create a new normal,
63
one that is fairer and gives everybody opportunity and treats everyone equally and builds bridges between people instead of dividing them.
64
Just as America overcame slavery and civil war, recessions and depression, Pearl Harbor and 9 -11 and all kinds of social upheaval,
65
we can emerge from our current circumstances stronger than before, better than before.
66
But as has always been true at key moments in history,
67
it's gonna depend on young people like you to go out there and rewrite what is possible.
68
I'll admit that it's a little unfair to lay such a heavy burden on you.
69
I wish that my generation had done more to solve some of our country's big problems so you didn't have to.
70
But the good news is that I know you're up to the challenge.
71
You are the best educated generation in history and a whole lot more technologically savvy.
72
You've been exposed to more knowledge and perspectives than my generation ever was.
73
You're more tolerant and empathetic, entrepreneurial, environmentally conscious.
74
Even before graduation, many of you have already started to make your mark, feeding the hungry, mentoring kids,
75
fighting racial injustice, helping veterans, battling climate change.
76
And now, to see so many of you participating in peaceful protests,
77
to see so many of you of every race and background raise up your voices on behalf of Justice for All,
78
well, it's been unbelievably inspiring.
79
You make me optimistic about our future.
80
So as you prepare for the next stage of what I know will be a remarkable journey,
81
I'll I'll leave you with a few quick pieces of advice for what they're worth.
82
First, do what you think is right, not just what's convenient or what's expected or what's easy.
83
While you have this time, think about the values that matter to you the most.
84
Too many graduates who feel the pressure to immediately start running
85
that race for success skip the step of asking themselves what's really important.
86
And too often they end up as adults who only do what's good for them and say to heck with everybody else.
87
And they end up not having a lot of meaningful relationships
88
or not really feeling as if they made a serious contribution to the world.
89
I hope that instead you decide to moor yourself in values that last, like responsibility, fairness, generosity, and respect for others.
90
That will make you part of the solution instead of part of the problem.
91
And, if experience is any guide, it actually makes for a happier life.
92
Second, listen to each other.
93
Respect each other.
94
And use all that critical thinking you've developed from your education to help promote the truth.
95
You are the internet generation and the social media generation.
96
It's not just how you shop or listen to music or watch videos.
97
It's part of your social lives.
98
It's the new town square where you all come together and meet.
99
In many ways, it's been an amazing tool.
100
In your pockets, you have access to more information than any group of people in history.
101
It's allowed movements of like -minded people to mobilize on behalf of worthy causes.
102
But what's become clear is that social media can also be a tool to spread conflict,
103
division, and falsehoods, to bully people, and promote hate.
104
Too often, it shuts us off from each other instead of bringing us together, partly because it gives us the ability to select our own realities,
105
independent of facts or science or logic or common sense.
106
We start reading only news and opinions that reinforce our own biases.
107
We start canceling everything else out.
108
We let opinion masquerade as fact.
109
And we treat even the wildest conspiracy theories as worthy of consideration.
110
And the irony is that usually the people who are peddling falsehoods on the internet
111
or social media are doing so for their own purposes, either to sell you something or distract you from the real issues that matter.
112
You can change that.
113
If a friend tells you COVID -19 is a hoax, politely correct them.
114
If an older relative cites some video to promote a racist stereotype, show him or her why that video is a sham.
115
As a generation that understands social media and technology a lot better than anyone,
116
It's going to be up to you to create online cultures and communities that respect differences of opinion and freedom of speech.
117
and also restore the kind of honest,
118
informed, fact -based debate that is the starting point for tackling the challenges we face.
119
Finally, even if it all seems broken, have faith in our democracy.
120
Participate and vote.
121
Don't fall for the easy cynicism that says nothing can change or that there's only one way to bring about change.
122
In the midst of recent protests, I've noticed
123
that there have been some debates among young people about how useful voting is compared to direct action
124
and civil disobedience and ending discrimination in our society.
125
The fact is, we don't have to choose.
126
We need both.
127
Peaceful protests and demonstrations are patriotic.
128
They shine a light on injustice.
129
They raise public awareness.
130
They make the folks in charge uncomfortable in a way that's healthy.
131
After all, we're a nation that was founded on protest.
132
Eventually though, your aspirations have to be translated into specific laws and institutional practices.
133
And that only happens when we elect good people at every level who are responsive to our demands.
134
And that includes local offices like the Office of Mayor
135
or the Office of District Attorney that don't get as much attention as a presidential race,
136
but have the most direct impact on issues like how communities are policed.
137
In fact, you don't even have to be an activist to make a contribution to our democracy.
138
If you've always dreamed of starting your own business, go build a company that is a model for paying its workers a fair wage.
139
If you've dreamed always of being a doctor, think about working in a community that's short on doctors.
140
There are so many ways to serve.
141
The important thing is to recognize that this nation needs your talents, your passions, your voice, to make it better.
142
You know, it's not always pretty, this democracy of ours.
143
Trust me, I know.
144
It can be loud and messy and sometimes depressing.
145
But because citizens took seriously,
146
the mandate that this is a government of and by and for the people,
147
well, bit by bit, generation by generation, we've made progress.
148
From cleaning up our air and water, to creating programs that lifted millions of seniors out of poverty, to winning the right to vote,
149
and to marry who you love.
150
None of these changes happened overnight or without sustained effort.
151
But they did happen, usually because young people marched and organized and voted and formed alliances
152
and just led good lives and looked after their community and their families and their neighborhoods and slowly changed hearts and minds.
153
America changed has always changed because young people dared to hope.
154
Democracy isn't about relying on some charismatic leader to make changes from on high.
155
It's about finding hope in ourselves and creating it in others, especially in a time like this.
156
You don't always need hope when everything's going fine.
157
It's when things seem darkest.
158
That's when you need it the most.
159
As someone once said, hope is not a lottery ticket.
160
It's a hammer for us to use in a national emergency, to break the glass, sound the alarm, and sprint into action.
161
That's what hope is.
162
It's not the blind faith that things will get better.
163
It's the conviction that with effort and perseverance and courage and a concern for others, things can get better.
164
That remains the truest part of our American story.
165
And if your generation sprints into action, it will still be true of America's future.
166
Congratulations, Class of 2020.
167
Make it mean something and keep making us proud.

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.
