1
In the fall of 1944, U.S.
2
Army medic Anthony Tony Acevedo was sent to fight in Europe during World War II.
3
He served in the 275th Infantry Regiment, 70th Infantry Division, known as the Trailblazers.
4
In freezing temperatures and heavy snow, along with 600,000 fellow Americans, he faced a ferocious German offensive in the Battle of the Bulge.
5
During the brutal six-week battle between December 1944 and January 1945, tens of thousands were killed or wounded.
6
It was Tony's first combat experience, and he bravely tended to the wounded under machine gun fire.
7
We went to battle and on my assignment, I headed with Company B and I just followed.
8
I carried my duffel bag and all my equipment with me and
9
everybody used to laugh at me and yell at me and say, Anthony, drop that, drop all that stuff.
10
They're gonna kill you.
11
You're a sore thumb, you.
12
I said, no, this is, that's gonna save my life.
13
We were marching towards a ridge and I heard an echo.
14
Medic!
15
Medic!
16
Because there were machine guns going on back and forth
17
and I was carrying my stuff with me so finally I picked up the sound and I started to head downhill.
18
Then I saw up ahead a cave with Germans.
19
Well, there were about six Germans in there with machine guns.
20
I mean just you thought there were thousands of them.
21
and at that time when they start shooting at me, my stuff went up in the air, my duffel bag and everything.
22
I fell on the ground and crawled to my helmet.
23
And before I knew it, I was with the fellas that were wounded.
24
I had my prayer book with me and I would use some phrases that wouldn't be too long, but enough for that person,
25
that soldier, to motivate him, make him feel motivated, feel free of fear.
26
That's what he was.
27
He was afraid.
28
The Germans were getting closer and closer.
29
We ran out of ammunition until finally we were caught when the Germans came up the hill and we had to surrender.
30
When the Germans took us, they forced us to get our boots off and walk down the slope barefooted in the snow.
31
It was up to our waist and marched for about almost a mile to the trucks.
32
They were sent to Stalag 9B, a camp for prisoners of war near Bad Orb, Germany.
33
Tony became prisoner number 27016.
34
Conditions in the crowded camp were terrible.
35
Tony used the limited medical supplies that he had managed to save in order to treat the sick and wounded.
36
In January 1945, German officers began identifying and separating Jewish POWs
37
and those whom they believed to be Jews from the rest of the American soldiers.
38
Tony was also separated, perhaps because he was Mexican-American.
39
The newly separated group, including Tony, were then transported to Berga under Elster, a forced labor camp in Germany.
40
Much like the conditions in the prisoner of war camp, food was scarce and prisoners were given little sustenance for the hard days of forced labor.
41
The bread was a mix of barley with sawdust, ground glass and ground sand.
42
It would make you sick to the stomach.
43
Disease and malnutrition would soon plague the American prisoners.
44
On one occasion we received a package, a Red Cross package, and that's how I got my diary.
45
Throughout his time in the camp, Tony kept a secret diary of his experiences.
46
He wrote in it nearly every day.
47
In it, he recorded how his group were forced to clear tunnels to make way for an underground factory
48
that Nazi officials hoped would be out of sight of Allied bombers.
49
March 21, 1945.
50
More planes came over today.
51
Their bombs were dropped not very far from here.
52
Another one of our boys is pretty low today.
53
He's not expected to live to light.
54
April 3rd, 1945.
55
Excellent news today.
56
Americans are only a hundred kilometers from here.
57
Rumors are that we are to be moved away.
58
When the Nazi guards realized that the American troops were closing in, they evacuated the POWs from Berga on a forced march.
59
April 9th, 1945.
60
We marched 10 kilometers today.
61
We started out with 304 men.
62
Now we have 287.
63
April 20th to 22nd, 1945.
64
Day and night, it rained.
65
Every man was wet from top to bottom.
66
Every 25 yards there lay three or four men.
67
Men that couldn't make the march had to drop out.
68
They were shot.
69
April 23, 1945.
70
We were liberated today.
71
Of the 350 American POWs at Berga under Elster, approximately 70 died.
72
Most of them died or were executed during the forced evacuation of the camp.
73
Tony's fountain pen miraculously endured his imprisonment.
74
It allowed him to secretly document his first-hand account of life as an American prisoner of war in Germany,
75
and would bear witness to the dates and causes of his fellow soldiers' deaths.
76
This was, he explained, his moral obligation.
77
God gave me that ink to last.
78
Thank you.

Phát âm cần chú ý
Người nói dùng 6 dạng rút gọn, ví dụ gonna, couldn't, they're. Hãy nói theo dạng ngắn đúng như bạn nghe.
- Âm “sh” và “zh”: ferocious /fəˈɹoʊʃəs/, malnutrition /ˌmæl.nuˈtɹɪʃ.ən/, evacuation /ɪˌvækjuˈeɪʃən/, ammunition /ˌæmjuˈnɪʃən/, obligation /ˌɑ.blɪˈɡeɪ.ʃn̩/
- Từ dài — đặt trọng âm cho đúng: malnutrition /ˌmæl.nuˈtɹɪʃ.ən/, miraculously /məˈɹækjələsli/, evacuate /ɪˈvæk.ju.eɪt/, evacuation /ɪˌvækjuˈeɪʃən/, ammunition /ˌæmjuˈnɪʃən/
Những âm người Việt thường gặp khó:
- Cụm phụ âm cuối — đọc đủ từng âm, đừng nuốt âm cuối: sustenance /ˈsʌs.tə.nəns/, imprisonment /ɪmˈpɹɪzn̩.mənt/, waist /weɪst/, assignment /əˈsaɪn.mənt/
- Âm /tʃ/, /dʒ/ và /ʒ/ — tiếng Việt không có, đừng đọc thành “ch” hay “gi”: endure /ɪnˈd͡ʒʊə(ɹ)/, ridge /ɹɪd͡ʒ/
- Âm /æ/ — mở miệng rộng hơn âm “e”: malnutrition /ˌmæl.nuˈtɹɪʃ.ən/, miraculously /məˈɹækjələsli/, evacuate /ɪˈvæk.ju.eɪt/, evacuation /ɪˌvækjuˈeɪʃən/, ammunition /ˌæmjuˈnɪʃən/
Cách luyện với video này
- Nghe hết video một lần, chưa cần nói, và ghi lại những từ bạn chưa biết.
- Nói đuổi từng câu ở tốc độ bình thường, lặp lại mỗi câu đến khi nhịp của bạn khớp với người nói.
- Ghi âm giọng mình rồi so với bản gốc, chú ý các từ như prisoner, motivate, diary.
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.
