And even though I don't follow them as a doctor, I will contribute in another path.

Hello, having spent time here with people from all over the world, what are you taking away from this experience?
62
After interacting with more than 100 women at Miss World, I have learned so many different things.
63
But one thing I have seen throughout all of them is the resilience that women carry.
64
I have heard stories of how some have come from absolutely nothing, but made it their life's mission to help others.
65
I've seen how others have chosen to be courageous enough to try, even when they felt like they were not good enough.
66
And I have also seen how through failure others have risen.
67
And like myself, I have chosen to be resilient throughout.
68
And I'm hoping that others will be able to not only see my story, but see the women that have stood on the stage as a symbol of not only resilience,
69
but of what is possible when women are given opportunities to shine and invest in our communities.
70
Thank you.
71
Thank you South Africa and now Dominican Republic.

81
We have the tool to express our feelings, to express our purpose.

Good evening again.
89
And my question to you is,
90
what responsibility do you have to protect the environment for the future generations?
91
And how would you inspire children to join that mission?
92
If I had to reflect the profession of me as a teacher, I would influence students to plant trees at a very young age because
93
that is also a responsible for them to believe how the plant can take time to grow from the seeds they planted.
94
And imagine walking a pet with full of thunderstorms and you don't have anyone to offer you an umbrella.
95
But I want to be that sort of teacher who offers the students, no matter what background they are, the seeds they planted takes time to grow.
96
And when you do that, you will influence many other people around the world.
97
Thank you.
98
Thank you, Malaysia.
99
And congratulations to all of you, the top six, for answering your final question.

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.
