1
Congratulations to the class of 2020.
2
Some of you have graduated already.
Bazılarınız zaten mezun oldu.
3
Some of you still have finals.
Bazılarınızın hâlâ final sınavları var.
4
All of you should be very proud.
Hepiniz çok gurur duymalısınız.
5
Graduation is a big achievement under any circumstances.
Mezuniyet, her koşulda büyük bir başarıdır.
6
Yours comes as the world is turned upside down by a pandemic and by a country that's been swept up by protest.
Sizin mesajınız, dünyanın bir pandemi ve protestolarla altüst olduğu bir dönemde geliyor.
7
I can barely imagine how head spinning these last few months have been for you.
Son birkaç ayın sizin için ne kadar baş döndürücü geçtiğini hayal bile edemiyorum.
8
Just as winter was thawing and you were thinking about spring break,
Kış yavaş yavaş sona ererken ve siz de bahar tatilini düşünmeye başlamışken,
9
those of you who were away at college were either whisked home or stayed behind on a shuttered campus.
Üniversitede okuyanlarınızdan bazıları ya evlerine geri gönderildi ya da kapalı kampüste kaldı.
10
Most of you had to finish semesters online, which had its ups and downs.
Çoğunuz dönemleri çevrimiçi olarak tamamlamak zorunda kaldınız ve bunun hem avantajları hem de dezavantajları oldu.
11
You didn't have to worry about what you wore to class, but watching your teachers and professors try to work
Derse ne giyeceğiniz konusunda endişelenmenize gerek yoktu, ancak öğretmenlerinizin ve profesörlerinizin ders çalışmaya çalışmasını izlemek ilginçti.
12
Zoom wasn't always pretty either.
Zoom da her zaman kusursuz değildi.
13
Either way, none of this is how any of you imagined finishing your final spring at school.
Her iki durumda da, hiçbiriniz son bahar dönemini okulda böyle bitirmeyi hayal etmemiştiniz.
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.
Şimdi, hepimiz şahsen bir araya gelemesek bile, mezuniyet töreninin sadece belirli bir anı kutlamadığını hatırlamanızı istiyorum.
15
It's the culmination of all your years of learning about the world and about yourself.
Bu, dünya ve kendiniz hakkında yıllarca süren öğrenme sürecinin doruk noktasıdır.
16
The friends and family who supported you every step of the way, they aren't celebrating a piece of paper.
Her adımda sizi destekleyen arkadaşlarınız ve aileniz, bir kağıt parçasına sevinmiyorlar.
17
They're celebrating you, how you've grown, the challenges you've overcome, and the experiences experiences you've shared.
Sizi kutluyorlar; nasıl büyüdüğünüzü, üstesinden geldiğiniz zorlukları ve paylaştığınız deneyimleri kutluyorlar.
18
You can see that love in all the amazing ways that families have come up with their own at -home graduations,
Ailelerin evde düzenledikleri mezuniyet törenleri için ortaya koydukları tüm muhteşem yöntemlerde bu sevgiyi görebilirsiniz.
19
from drive -by parades to handmade yard signs.
Arabalarla yapılan geçit törenlerinden el yapımı bahçe tabelalarına kadar.
20
The point is, don't let the lack of a big, crowded ceremony take anything away from what your graduation signifies.
Önemli olan şu ki, büyük ve kalabalık bir törenin olmaması, mezuniyetinizin anlamından hiçbir şey eksiltmesin.
21
Go ahead and bask in the glory of your achievement.
Başarınızın tadını çıkarın.
22
And wherever you are, take lots of photos although when I look at my graduation pictures,
Nerede olursanız olun, bol bol fotoğraf çekin; gerçi mezuniyet fotoğraflarıma baktığımda,
23
the main thing I realize is that I should have gotten a haircut more often.
En çok fark ettiğim şey, saçımı daha sık kestirmem gerektiği oldu.
24
Now, as was true for generations before you, graduation marks your final passage into adulthood,
Şimdi, sizden önceki nesillerde olduğu gibi, mezuniyet yetişkinliğe geçişinizin son aşamasını işaret ediyor.
25
the time when you're expected to fully take charge of your life's direction.
Hayatınızın yönünü tamamen kontrol altına almanız beklenen zaman.
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,
İşte o zaman sizin için neyin önemli olduğuna, hangi kariyeri hedeflediğinize, hangi değerlere göre yaşamak istediğinize karar verme fırsatınız olur.
27
who you want to build a family with.
Kimle aile kurmak istediğiniz.
28
That can be intimidating even under normal circumstances.
Bu durum normal şartlar altında bile göz korkutucu olabilir.
29
And given the current state of things, let's face it, it can be downright scary.
Ve mevcut durum göz önüne alındığında, dürüst olmak gerekirse, bu durum son derece korkutucu olabilir.
30
It's fair to say that your generation is graduating into a world that faces more profound challenges than any generation in decades.
Şunu rahatlıkla söyleyebiliriz ki, sizin nesliniz son on yıllardaki hiçbir neslin karşılaşmadığı kadar derin zorluklarla karşı karşıya olan bir dünyaya adım atıyor.
31
It can feel like everything's up for grabs right now.
Şu an her şeyin el değiştirebileceği hissi uyandırıyor.
32
A lot of this uncertainty is the direct result of COVID -19.
Bu belirsizliğin büyük bir kısmı doğrudan COVID-19'un sonucudur.
33
The 100 ,000 lives it's taken from us.
Bizden aldığı 100.000 can.
34
The economic disruption it's caused.
Bu durumun yol açtığı ekonomik bozulma.
35
No one can say for sure how much longer the crisis will last.
Krizin ne kadar daha süreceğini kimse kesin olarak söyleyemez.
36
A lot of that will depend on the choices we make as a country.
Bunun büyük bir kısmı, ülke olarak yapacağımız tercihlere bağlı olacak.
37
But, you know, it will eventually end.
Ama biliyorsunuz, bu eninde sonunda bitecek.
38
Vaccines and treatments will emerge.
Aşılar ve tedaviler ortaya çıkacaktır.
39
The economy will begin to heal, and life will start returning to normal.
Ekonomi toparlanmaya başlayacak ve hayat normale dönecek.
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.

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.
