38
Thank you so much for this question.
39
Because as Miss World Ethiopia,
40
I have faced a lot of criticism from my country.
41
A lot of people think Miss World is just another pageant,
42
another beauty contest, but it is more than that.
43
There are so many children and mothers behind me that get so many things from me from standing here.
44
I am the first ever Ethiopian to ever make it this far,
45
and I hold so much pride in it.
46
And I believe making it here is not only for me or for Ethiopia,
47
but for the mothers and children out there,
48
for the kids out there,
49
it is so much more than pageantry and beauty and anything.
50
It is about purpose, and my purpose is to show you that you can do it.
51

So to get on with the question,
64
what truth about this experience in Telangana would you share that no headline or rumor could ever explain?
65
Thank you for the question.
66
I consider my greatest success so far is to overcoming my excessive shyness
67
and now I'm so happy that I can say
68
that I have a really great time connecting with others
69
and I'm talking about this because in Miss World
70
or my Miss Polenia role now I this is one of my favorite thing
71
that I can meet people constantly and getting learned
72
and inspired by this and one of my favorite experience here in Talangana is the hospitality
73
because this country this region yes thank you so much thank you
74
so much you actually became our second home
75
because you remind me of my Polish hospitality too
76
and you are always returning your smiles hugs everything so thank you
77
so much but I have one the most memorable experience
78
and this is the experience from hospital IG where we were visited
79
and the people there even despite the difficulties of the situation were
80
so warm and given us the worm that we gave them
81
and once in a high tea i met a boy who was always
82
so warm to me he was talking to me about polish players from FC Barcelona what a accident
83
because one of my beautiful purpose project was about this too
84
so i think no nothing is more important than other people So that's why I think hospitality,
85
relationships here in Telangana are the most memorable for me.
86
Sorry, thank you.
87
Thank you for your kind and gracious words for Telangana.
88

97
So my question is, what has this journey taught you about truth and personal responsibility in shaping how stories are told?
98
I'll repeat the question.
99
What has this journey taught you about the truth and personal responsibility in shaping how the stories are told?
100
Thank you so much for the question.
101
And being here is the greatest opportunity I could ever have in life.
102
And one thing that I learned being here at the Miss World is the responsibility of how tourists is perceived.
103
And I think that one big thing that we can do here,
104
me and all the girls,
105
including everyone here in the hall,
106
is being the person who all of the people in our lives look up to.
107
Because I always believe that no matter who you are and no matter how old you are,
108
no matter what title you hold in your life,
109
there is always a person next to you,
110
whether it's a child, whether it's an adult,
111
it could even be your own parents that look up to you in a way.
112
And the best way to lead people is to lead with their gracefulness in your actions.
113
That is the best thing we can do to the people around us and in our world.
114
Thank you so much.
115
Thank you.
116
Reinstating actions speak louder than words.
117
Thank you and wish you the best.

Whether you’re preparing for an IELTS speaking practice or seeking to enhance your everyday communication, learning English with YouTube videos like this one can be both enjoyable and educational.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
