1
While I've always felt firmly rooted,
2
my life has never really been what you might call local.
3
I was born in the UK,
4
but my first language was Albanian.
5
Woo!
6
London is my home, but I'm often on the road.
7
And today I have the privilege of traveling the world doing a job that I love.
8
Last year I played live in 33 cities in 20 countries and sang in 9 different languages.
9
It turns out, thank you,
10
it turns out my reading habits follow a similar pattern.
11
Since we launched the Service 95 book club three years ago,
12
eight of my 33 monthly reads have been translated fiction.
13
Just as importantly, these 33 books tell stories that span Japan,
14
Korea, Nigeria, Colombia, the US,
15
Mexico, Hungary, Norway, Afghanistan, Poland,
16
Ireland, Spain, the UK, France, Vietnam and Australia.
17
I read as much as time allows and while some of the books I love become book club titles,
18
others remain private passions.
19
I'm a reader who loves to be immersed in a novel and I mean really deeply in it.
20
When I read translated fiction and some of you recognize these scenes,
21
I walk the streets of Naples in the shoes of a young girl who's becoming aware
22
that her future will be defined by her gender.
23
I've borne witness to animals taking revenge on their hunters in rural Poland.
24
Or did they?
25
I've gained wisdom I didn't know I needed from a pigeon on a balcony in Mexico City
26
and as Guadalupe Natal writes you can't get anything past a pigeon
27
I've overheard a conversation between French rescue responders who decided not
28
to send help to 30 drowning asylum seekers who believed they would find sanctuary on British soil
29
I felt the pain of a particularly lonely love in Czechoslovakia.
30
I've suffered heartbreak in 1960s Tokyo.
31
I've even seen my life flash before my eyes as I faced a firing squad in Colombia.
32
Just this year, I've met sworn virgins in Albania.
33
I thought I knew everything about Albania.
34
But it took a Bulgarian writer,
35
a Bulgarian translator, a small British independent publisher,
36
and an international prize for me to find this story.
37
There really isn't anything quite like a book to understand the perspective of others and translated fiction takes that even further.
38
I guess it's the fusion of an experience that's so universal and at the same time so unique.
39
It's the antidote to othering.
40
When I launched my book club,
41
it wasn't in a cozy cafe in London.
42
It was with a reading group in Downview women's prison.
43
I was there with Gabby as part of the Books Unlocked program.
44
Each year, the Booker Prize Foundation provides free Booker-nominated books to UK prisons and young offender institutions,
45
and that also includes titles from the international list.
46
One of the most insightful conversations about a book I've ever had was that morning in Downview,
47
and I'll never forget what one of the women shared with the group,
48
that perhaps that if she'd read more books when she was younger,
49
maybe she wouldn't be here now.
50
That moment really brought it home to me that reading a book is often so much more than a solitary activity.
51
It can trigger a conversation with a friend or,
52
like in Downview, provide a way to share a profound experience with a wider group.
53
And a book club discussion is maybe the one occasion where you get even more out of it if you disagree.
54
Last year's winner of the International Booker Prize was Heartlamp,
55
written by Banu Mushtaq and translated by Deepa Bashti.
56
We'll have the pleasure of hearing from Deepa shortly.
57
In her acceptance speech, Banu said,
58
This book was born from the belief that no story is ever small,
59
that in the tapestry of human experience,
60
every thread holds the weight of the whole.
61
As a reader, I want to follow those threads of connection.
62
What a joy it is to read.
63
What a joy to read the world.

Bu dersin kelimeleri ve konuşma notları
Bu C1 seviyesindeki konuşma dersi “Dua Lipa: How Books Change Lives” videosuna dayanıyor. En çok tekrarlanan kelimeler: Booker, translated, prize, club, Downview. Bu videoda gölgeleme çalışması için 70 cümle ve 720 kelime var. Konuşma bölümü 4:54 sürüyor. Konuşmacı dakikada yaklaşık 147 kelimelik dengeli bir hızla konuşuyor; gölgeleme için rahat bir tempo. Kelimelerin yalnızca %75’i İngilizcede en sık kullanılan 3.000 kelime arasında, bu yüzden kelime dağarcığı zorlayıcı.
Bu videodaki önemli kelimeler
Videodaki en ileri düzey 13 kelime, telaffuzu ve anlamıyla:
| Kelime | Telaffuz | Anlam |
|---|---|---|
| translate fiil | /tɹænzˈleɪt/ | tercüme etmek, terceme |
| pigeon isim | /ˈpɪ.dʒɪn/ | güvercin |
| antidote isim | /ˈæn.tɪ.doʊt/ | panzehir |
| tapestry isim | /ˈtæpəstɹi/ | duvar halısı, duvar kilimi |
| beginner isim | /bəˈɡɪnɚ/ | acemi, çaylak |
| translator isim | /ˈtɹænzleɪtɚ/ | çevirmen, tercüman |
| drown fiil | /dɹaʊn/ | boğulmak |
| solitary sıfat | /ˈsɑlɪˌtɛɹi/ | kimsesiz, münzevi |
| offline sıfat | /ɔfˈlaɪn/ | çevrimdışı |
| balcony isim | /ˈbælkəni/ | balkon |
| sanctuary isim | /ˈsæŋkt͡ʃuˌɛɹi/ | mabet |
| profound sıfat | /pɹəˈfaʊnd/ | derin |
| asylum isim | /əˈsaɪləm/ | sığınak, iltica |
Bu videodaki dil bilgisi
Konuşmacının en çok kullandığı yapılar, videodaki sözcüklerin aynısıyla:
| Yapı | Videoda |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + fiilin üçüncü hâli — geçmişte olan ama şimdi de önemli olan bir eylem | I've always felt · has never really been · have been translated |
| Edilgen yapı be + fiilin üçüncü hâli — kimin yaptığı değil, ne olduğu önemli | was born · have been translated · be immersed |
Dikkat edilecek telaffuzlar
Konuşmacı I've, I'm, can't gibi kısaltılmış biçimleri 18 kez kullanıyor. Bunları duyduğunuz gibi kısa söyleyin.
- Uzun kelimeler — vurguyu doğru yere koyun: solitary /ˈsɑlɪˌtɛɹi/, sanctuary /ˈsæŋkt͡ʃuˌɛɹi/, importantly /ɪmˈpɔɹ.tənt.li/
Türkçe konuşanların zorlandığı sesler:
- Kelime başındaki ünsüz kümesi — araya ünlü eklemeyin: translate /tɹænzˈleɪt/, translator /ˈtɹænzleɪtɚ/, drown /dɹaʊn/, transcript /ˈtɹæn.skɹɪpt/, profound /pɹəˈfaʊnd/
- /æ/ — “e”den daha açık: translate /tɹænzˈleɪt/, antidote /ˈæn.tɪ.doʊt/, tapestry /ˈtæpəstɹi/, translator /ˈtɹænzleɪtɚ/, transcript /ˈtɹæn.skɹɪpt/
Bu videoyla nasıl çalışılır
- Videonun tamamını konuşmadan bir kez dinleyin ve bilmediğiniz kelimeleri not edin.
- Normal hızda cümle cümle tekrar edin; ritminiz konuşmacıyla aynı olana kadar her cümleyi yineleyin.
- Kendinizi kaydedin ve orijinaliyle karşılaştırın; translate, pigeon, antidote gibi kelimelere özellikle dikkat edin.
Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
