Now at the end of our careers as students, we have an opportunity: now is our time to take on the world, and to find and pursue our passions; to quote unquote, "Leave a Legacy." William Shakespeare, and also Channing Tatum, once said, "Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." In life, we can't always count on being born great, or having greatness thrust upon us, but always, always remember that the opportunity to achieve greatness is within our grasp.

Our time here together as a senior class will not be remembered by grades, popularity, likes, or favorites, but by our relationships.

38
Class of 2015, it's been a #splendid 3 years with you, and from the bottom of my heart I wish you all the very, very, very best.
39
Thank you.

Pronúncia para ficar de olho
O falante usa 8 contrações e formas reduzidas, como I'm, can't, doesn't. Diga-as na forma curta, do jeito que você ouve.
- Os sons de “th”: thrust /θɹʌst/, labyrinth /ˈlæb.ə.ɹɪnθ/, thoughtful /ˈθɔːtfəl/
- Os sons de “sh” e “zh”: hashtag /ˈhæʃˌtæɡ/, graduation /ˌɡɹæd͡ʒuˈeɪʃən/, facial /ˈfeɪ.ʃəl/
- Palavras longas — acerte a sílaba tônica: cataclysmic /ˌkætəˈklɪzmɪk/, anticipate /ænˈtɪs.ɪ.peɪt/, graduation /ˌɡɹæd͡ʒuˈeɪʃən/, uncomfortable /ʌnˈkʌm.fɚ.tə.bl̩/
Sons difíceis para falantes de português:
- Consoante final — sem acrescentar um “i” depois: thrust /θɹʌst/, afflict /əˈflɪkt/, cataclysmic /ˌkætəˈklɪzmɪk/, excite /ɪkˈsaɪt/, hashtag /ˈhæʃˌtæɡ/
- /l/ final — a língua toca o céu da boca, não vira “u”: inhale /ɪnˈheɪl/, thoughtful /ˈθɔːtfəl/, stressful /ˈstɹɛsfəl/, facial /ˈfeɪ.ʃəl/
- /h/ — um sopro suave, diferente do “r”: inhale /ɪnˈheɪl/, hashtag /ˈhæʃˌtæɡ/

- Comece na velocidade 0,75×, faça shadowing frase por frase e volte à velocidade normal quando ficar fácil.
- Grave a sua voz e compare com o original, prestando atenção a palavras como greatness, thrust, afflict.
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
