Luyện nói tiếng Anh bằng Shadowing qua video: Tom Brady’s Patriots Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony Speech

Thank you.

Thank you guys.

Thank you.

All right, everyone.

Sit down.

Patriot Nation, it feels good to be home.

This evening marks a monumental moment in my life.

It's a celebration of 20 years here in New England, playing for the Patriots, playing for you.

The greatest fans in the NFL.

I'm overwhelmed with gratitude and a deep sense of honor.

So let me say thank you for all that you've done to help me, to help us achieve our lifelong dreams.

You guys are amazing.

What other fans in the world would spend hours on Route 1 every Sunday to get to a stadium

in the middle of the woods.

We've even got four guys who went to jail for me, sitting right here as RKK's special guests.

I miss this place and I miss you.

And I didn't even encourage you guys to get lubed up tonight.

But you guys have shown out like you always do.

And I love it.

Tonight, tonight's a celebration of everyone who's ever cared about this organization.

Everyone who has worked, cheered, sacrificed for it.

Past, present, and future.

And I promise this isn't like the last time I was on stage with RKK

and Coach Belichick and Jules and Gronk and Randy in LA a month ago.

Those were the hardest hits I've ever taken in my life.

But there are nobody here who has taken any hits tonight.

I have so much love and respect for you all.

If you spent time in this organization, you are blessed.

We're blessed because we learned so many things that most people never have the opportunity to learn.

that nothing of significance in life is accomplished as an individual.

Nobody individually hangs those six banners up there.

The team does.

Here in New England, it's always about we and us, not me or mine.

Relationships are built on shared experiences and the most meaningful thing in my life are my relationships.

I truly wish I had more time.

I wish I had more time to give you all.

So how do I sum up two decades in New England in one short speech?

The answer is simple.

You can't.

It's hard for me to properly express my gratitude and my appreciation for how my time here has added to my life.

There are too many lessons learned, too many stories to be told, too many incredible moments and achievements we all experience together.

It would take me 30 days to get through it all, not 30 minutes.

There are so many people to thank, and I apologize in advance if I leave anybody out.

So with that being said, thank you to my mom and dad, my rock, my foundation.

Your love and your commitment to your family is unmatched.

To my sisters and me, you are everything.

I'll never be able to thank you as much as you deserve.

Sometimes it takes someone to believe in you when you don't believe in yourself.

And along with so many other things, that's what you gave me.

My sisters, Maureen, Julie, Nancy, people ask me where I get my mental toughness.

I was the fourth best athlete in my own house growing up.

I had no choice.

My sisters would always stick up for me when the older boys in the neighborhood, Paul and Bobby, are sitting right down there.

You did tell me, go long.

Yeah, go, keep going, Tommy, keep going all the way down the street.

Take a left.

Yeah, go that way.

And then they would say, game over, let's go home.

And I would be standing down there like they finally included me.

But you toughened me up in so many ways.

And my sisters there stood up for me every single step of the way.

I love you guys so much.

To my kids, Jack, Benny, Vivi, your dad loves you more than anything in this world.

Your smiles outshine the morning sun.

And where I live now, that's a pretty brilliant son.

There's no greater joy than watching the three of you grow

and teach me things on your way to becoming incredible young adults.

To the communities in San Mateo and Ann Arbor, the countless teammates, neighbors, coaches, teachers that formed me into the man that I am today.

Thank you.

You always believed in me.

Don Yee, Don Yee, Steve Dubin,

my agents, two men who took a hot-headed six-round pick out of college from Michigan

and helped them navigate the whirlwind that would be the next 23 years.

I'm sorry for taking all those team-friendly deals along the way, fellas.

To my friends Kevin Brady, Pat Kratis, Michael Bronner, Ben Rowitz,

and countless others, you guys have been through thick and thin with me.

Whether it was a difficult conversation or a wild flight home from the Derby, you've been there every step of the way.

To Alex Guerrero, my brother from another mother,

our commitment to each other's unmatched.

Thank you for being who you are, a selfless, dedicated goat.

And just so everyone here knows, without AG, this moneymaker right here, this thing would have lost its touch a long time ago.

To RKK and the entire Kraft family,

Myra, Jonathan, Danny, Josh David, and Dana.

In the year 2000, I was drafted as an immature 23-year-old kid.

And 20 years later, I left New England as a much older 42-year-old immature kid.

But in that time, I was taken in by a family who loved me as a son

and embraced my family as one of their own.

RKK, look around.

You fostered a culture of excellence and integrity that has impacted an entire region.

I love you.

To Coach Belichick, thank you for your tireless commitment to develop and push me to be my very best.

It wasn't me.

It wasn't you.

It was us.

Our hard work, our love of the game, and the way we work for one another, that's what it was all about.

Let me make this crystal clear.

There is no coach in the world I would rather play for than Bill Belichick.

To the countless coaches, every single one of you, the assistants sitting here tonight that are not here tonight,

the personnel executives and scouts, including Scott Pioli, Charlie, Josh and Billy, to name a few.

100

We spent so many hours in the hallways of this stadium, so many early morning meetings and late night conversations.

101

I know I'll go down as your least demanding, most even keeled player you ever coached.

102

I hope you enjoy the time while it lasted.

103

To the people of the New England Patriots organization working behind the scenes to make everything perfect

104

so we could just go out and play.

105

The support staff, the health and medical teams, the business operations, the video department, the IT, the nutrition, the strength and conditioning,

106

the scouting, the football ops, the equipment staff, media and community relations, the kitchen staff, the people who cleaned our locker rooms.

107

The list is endless and every single one of your jobs wasn't as important as ours was on the field.

108

To my teammates, 20 years worth, I wish I could mention all of you by name,

109

but I'd be here all night.

110

Please know the incredible impact you had on me by pushing me and us to play like champions every single day.

111

Every stitch and every thread of this beautiful red jacket is woven together by the experiences and adversities we endured.

112

Every single one of you made my life better.

113

If you thought you learned a lot from me, The reality was I learned way more from you.

114

We fought together, we bled together, we cried together, we celebrated and won together.

115

And I would go to battle with any one of you guys because I know what you're all about.

116

In particular, I want to say something to all the offensive linemen.

117

I made your job hard.

118

Your mission was to protect me.

119

And as Dante would always say, Brady, you couldn't run out of sight in two days.

120

Three days.

121

You guys were the backbone of this team.

122

Your toughness and your tireless effort to protect me allowed me to perform my best.

123

Thank you.

124

And to all the quarterbacks I played with, we grinded together, we challenged each other, We competed and most of the time I kicked your ass.

125

But I could point to every single one of you and tell you something that I learned by watching you.

126

I love you guys more than you'll ever know.

127

Also, Julian paid me $10,000 to mention him by name, so there you go, Jules.

128

And to the fans, am I proud of our championships?

129

Yes.

130

Am I proud of our winning and records over the years?

131

Yes.

132

What I am proudest of are the people whose lives we impacted here and across the country.

133

They might have cheered for us or against us.

134

Some may not have liked us, but they certainly ended up respecting us.

135

Sometimes, when I ask myself, why me?

136

The answer is that I'm the messenger here to tell the world just how amazing the Patriots fans really are.

137

Thank you!

138

Thank you for 20 years of passion, loyalty, and fire.

139

20 years, 17 division titles, 6 Super Bowls.

140

How did we do it?

141

What can we learn?

142

And how can we apply those things going forward?

143

The foundation of a successful team, a family, or business is asking what you can do to support the mission.

144

The Patriots embodied that.

145

Everyone was committed to winning.

146

Everyone was selfless.

147

Everyone was always asking, what can I do to help the team win?

148

As the great John Wooden said, happiness begins where selfishness ends.

149

I get asked a lot if my kids play football.

150

My response is that I'll support them in any of their dreams.

151

Whatever makes them happy makes me happy.

152

I would encourage everyone to play football for the simple reason that it is hard.

153

It's hard when you're young to wake up in the offseason at 6 a.m to go train

154

and work knowing that all your friends are sleeping in and eating pancakes.

155

It's hard when you're on your way to practice, way down with all your gear, and it's 90 degrees out, and all the other kids are at the pool or at the beach,

156

and your body is already completely exhausted from workouts in two days.

157

It's hard to throw, catch, block, and tackle, and hit kids when they're way bigger and way more developed than you,

158

only to go home that night bruised and battered and strained, but knowing you have to show up again the next day for just the chance to try again.

159

But understand this, life is hard.

160

No matter who you are, there are bumps and hits and bruises along the way.

161

And my advice is to prepare yourself yourself.

162

Because football lessons teach us that success and achievement come from overcoming adversity and that team accomplishment far exceeds anyone's individual goals.

163

To be successful at anything, the truth is you don't have to be special.

164

You just have to be what most people aren't.

165

Consistent, determined, and willing to work for it.

166

No shortcuts.

167

If you look at all my teammates here tonight, it would be impossible to find better examples of men who embody that work ethic,

168

integrity, purpose, determination, and discipline that it takes to be a champion in life.

169

We led by example.

170

Nothing in life of significance is ever accomplished alone.

171

That's the Patriot way.

172

Here in New England, we were the first team ever to take the field in the Super Bowl, not as individuals, but as a single unit.

173

That's us.

174

We did that, and we were the best in the world, and history will never forget that.

175

It is the honor of my life to take my place among these other Patriot Hall of Famers

176

and to be officially enshrined into the winning legacy of this amazing organization.

177

You humble me, you make me proud, and I am eternally grateful.

178

I am Tom Brady and I am a Patriot.

179

Thank you.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
