1
Thanks very much Kath and can I start with one word of thanks to an amazing woman.
2
She's Mary Turner, she's the chair of our joint policy committee
3
and she's been the one that's made sure
4
that it is the party in charge of this policy review right the way from the beginning.
5
Thank you very much indeed on behalf of all of us here.
6
As we have gone around the country,
7
what has become clear is that people are now seriously worried about what this government is doing to their families,
8
to their communities and to our country.
9
This week is our chance to show that there is a different way now and different possibilities for the future.
10
That is the single aim of the policy review that Ed has asked me to chair.
11
Because after last year's defeat,
12
the easiest thing in the world would have been for us to turn in on ourselves,
13
gaze fondly, lovingly perhaps, at our navels,
14
sit around in a comfort zone,
15
spend all day arguing with each other.
16
Let's be honest, of us quite like that.
17
But under Ed Miliband, we have chosen to do it differently.
18
We have picked ourselves up,
19
dusted ourselves down and got straight back out there,
20
back in touch, talking to the people who we came into politics and public life to serve about what we got right,
21
about, yes, what we got wrong and how it is we need to change.
22
What we have done this year is take a decision.
23
We are going to go for the prize that has eluded any political party in Britain for 35 years.
24
We are going to be a one-term opposition,
25
a party that is determined to bounce back,
26
back into office, back into power,
27
where we know that we can make a difference.
28
So, I suppose I should give you the bad news.
29
I know that what many people would have wanted this week is a detailed five-year plan,
30
a new budget costed down to the last pound and the penny.
31
I know the hardest question that I get on the doorstep in Hodge Hill is,
32
well, what's your alternative?
33
Where's your plan?
34
What is it that you would do different?
35
Well, I'm sorry.
36
the easiest thing in the world would have been for me
37
and us to sit in a committee room in Westminster and write the next manifesto.
38
But that would not have delivered a one-term opposition.
39
It wouldn't, because we can't revise our policy.
40
We can't reorganise our party until we reconnected with the public.
41
And that is what this first year of the policy review has been all about.
42
We have taken the simple view that policy starts with politics and politics starts with people.
43
That is why we have been back out there this year,
44
back in touch with over a million men and women,
45
members of our party and our affiliates,
46
over 150 events, 6,000 local residents coming along to one of them,
47
20,000 submissions pouring into our party headquarters.
48
And it's not always easy, is it?
49
I've been doing the policy review door to door in Hodge Hill,
50
going along asking people what they thought of us
51
and what we got right and how we need to change
52
and it'll be a
53
while before I forget the man in Charred End who I think I disturbed him in the middle of his dinner.
54
He sort of trundled up to the door and wiped clean his moustache and then,
55
how shall I put this,
56
he can find his remarks to two words,
57
began with F and it finished with F and there were five letters in between.
58
I put him down as against.
59
But whether the conversations have been easy or hard, we've had them.
60
People have been incredibly generous with us about sharing their stories and their views.
61
They've told us about their daily struggles.
62
They've told us about their trouble balancing the bills.
63
They've told us about their hopes for their their memories,
64
their observations, loves, hates, but above all, their common sense.
65
People haven't pulled their punches.
66
They've given it to us straight.
67
They thought that we grew out of touch.
68
They thought that on some issues,
69
close to their heart, we got it wrong.
70
On immigration, on welfare, on control of the banks,
71
and that is why they've told us they want us to change.
72
I know at times that this can feel like an exercise in gratuitous It isn't.
73
We can leave that to George Osborne.
74
People don't expect us to get everything right but they expect us to learn from experience, their experience.
75
Because for most people in this country,
76
things are very different now to 1997.
77
Life hasn't stood still.
78
Times have moved on.
79
Challenges have changed.
80
But what we've heard from people is that there is a new centre ground in British politics.
81
It's not a party, it's not a place that the Labour Party gets to pick.
82
The centre ground is where voters say it is.
83
Our Our challenge now is to change and move on
84
and say the centre ground is our home ground and this is where we will fight.
85
And everything that we have seen from the Tories this year tells us that this is a fight that we can win.
86
Everything we have seen from the Conservative Party tells us
87
that they are now not on the side of people in the centre ground.
88
You are not on people's side if you are cutting jobs and tax credits and childcare.
89
You are not on people's side if you are damaging their chances to work
90
and pay the bills or pay for treats for the kids or take a holiday.
91
You are not on people's side if you curtail chances for children.
92
And you are not on people's side if your idea of responsibility is to fire 12,000 police officers,
93
put charities out of business
94
and single out as the first people who need a tax
95
cut the bankers who put us into this mess in the first place.
96
So this week is our chance to show that we get it,
97
that we have heard what people said,
98
that we are up for the challenge of change,
99
that we are now back as the party on the side of the majority.
100
So this week we will set out what we have heard from people about how they want a different economy,
101
not run on the old rules but on new rules,
102
with a welfare state that works once more for working people and we will say where we think change should begin.
103
We will say what we have heard about the next generation.
104
You remember education, education, education?
105
It was a phrase that symbolised our aspiration for young people.
106
Well, this week we'll say more about how we bring that aspiration back alive for the next generation in jobs,
107
in schools and in housing.
108
And we'll say where we think change should begin.
109
And we'll say what we've heard from good people who want
110
to rebuild in this country a responsible society with rules
111
that bite at the top and at the bottom
112
and at every point in between and we will say where we think change should begin.
113
So this first year is just the beginning.
114
We put first things first because we know that oppositions that stay in opposition are parties that look inwards and not out.
115
That's why I've always said that my greatest hope is that this policy review will change the way that we make policy.
116
Not in committee rooms and dark rooms in Westminster,
117
but through conversation with the public,
118
with our members and with our affiliates.
119
I know we need to work harder to get these debates out to where you are.
120
So if you want me to come along and listen to debates you're having, I'd love to.
121
Just give me a ring.
122
Because over the next week and over the next year,
123
we'll begin to set out the new ideas that we think are right for the future.
124
New ideas for the new center ground.
125
New ideas that reflect a simple philosophy that for most people in this country,
126
politics is about the personal.
127
It is about how you get on at work.
128
It is about the safety of your community.
129
It's about the education for your kids.
130
It's about the care for your parents, your husband, your wife.
131
It's about having the chance to earn a better life,
132
to get the good things in life,
133
to live a life that is free from fear.
134
In other words, politics is about the most important things in the world.
135
In everything I've read this year,
136
no one has put it better than a guy called Andrew from Newcastle upon Tyne who wrote this.
137
People want straight answers from politicians, not avoidance or waffle.
138
Talk like people in the factories and offices,
139
in the pubs, give straight answers,
140
try to make Britain a fair society. That is our test.
141
So if we get the politics right,
142
if we're passionate about our belief that politics can make a difference,
143
then and only then will the right policy follow.
144
That is the way that we earn back,
145
again, the trust to serve.
146
And if we get that right, we'll win.
147
Thanks very much indeed.
FOR YOU

影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | she's been · have gone · has become |

什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
