I'm Rami Malek, and today I'm going to be reading to you one of my favorite books, This is The Empty Pot, written and illustrated by Demi.
3
A long time ago in China there was a boy named Ping who loved flowers.
4
Anything he planted burst into bloom. Up came flowers, bushes, and even big fruit trees, as if by magic!
5
Everyone in the kingdom loved flowers too. They planted them everywhere, and the air smelled like perfume.
6
The Emperor loved birds and animals, but flowers most of all, and he tended his own garden every day.
7
But the Emperor was very old. He needed to choose a successor to the throne.
8
Who would his successor be? And how would the Emperor choose?
9
Because the Emperor loved flowers so much, he decided to let the flowers choose.
10
The next day a proclamation was issued: All the children in the land were to come to the palace.
11
There they would be given special flower seeds by the Emperor.
12
"Whoever can show me their best in a year's time," he said, "will succeed me to the throne." This news created great excitement throughout the land!
13
Children from all over the country swarmed to the palace to get their flower seeds.
14
All the parents wanted their children to be chosen Emperor, and all the children hoped they would be chosen too!
15
When Ping received his seed from the Emperor, he was the happiest child of all.
16
He was sure he could grow the most beautiful flower.
17
Ping filled a flowerpot with rich soil. He planted the seed in it very carefully.
18
He watered it every day. He couldn't wait to see it sprout, grow, and blossom into a beautiful flower!
19
Day after day passed, but nothing grew in his pot.
20
Ping was very worried. He put new soil into a bigger pot. Then he transferred the seed into the rich black soil.
21
Another two months he waited. Still nothing happened.
22
By and by the whole year passed.
23
Spring came, and all the children put on their best clothes to greet the Emperor.
24
They rushed to the palace with their beautiful flowers, eagerly hoping to be chosen.
25
Ping was ashamed of his empty pot.
26
He thought the other children would laugh at him because for once he couldn't get a flower to grow.
27
His clever friend ran by, holding a great big plant.
28
"Ping!" he said. "You're not really going to the Emperor with an empty pot, are you?
29
Couldn't you grow a great big flower like mine?" "I've grown lots of flowers better than yours," Ping said. "It's just this seed that won't grow." Ping's father overheard this and said, "You did your best, and your best is good enough to present to the Emperor." Holding the empty pot in his hands, Ping went straight away to the palace.
30
The Emperor was looking at the flowers slowly, one by one.
31
How beautiful all the flowers were! But the Emperor was frowning and did not say a word.
32
Finally he came to Ping.
33
Ping hung his head in shame, expecting to be punished.
34
The Emperor asked him, "Why did you bring an empty pot?" Ping started to cry and replied, "I planted the seed you gave me and I watered it every day, but it didn't sprout.
35
I put it in a better pot with better soil, but still it didn't sprout!
36
I tended it all year long, but nothing grew.
37
So today I had to bring an empty pot without a flower. It was the best I could do.
38
When the Emperor heard these words, a smile slowly spread over his face, and he put his arm around Ping.
39
Then he exclaimed to one and all, "I have found him! I have found the one person worthy of being Emperor!
40
"Where you got your seeds from, I do not know. For the seeds I gave you had all been cooked.
41
So it was impossible for any of them to grow.
42
"I admire Ping's great courage to appear before me with the empty truth, and now I reward him with my entire kingdom and make him Emperor of all the land!" What I love about The Empty Pot is it does allow me to look inside and realize just how much truth means.
43
Because ultimately the only consequences are feeling like you're courageous, and honorable, and a bigger person, and I guarantee you, the truth always wins.
44
So thank you to The Empty Pot for such a strong message. Keep telling the truth.
45

為什麼要通過這個影片練習口語？
通過觀看拉米·馬雷克朗讀的《空花盆》，學習者可以沉浸在一個充滿趣味和教育意義的故事中。這個故事圍繞誠實和勇氣展開，不僅吸引人，還讓我們瞭解到口語練習的重要性。在練習口語時，參與者可以模仿馬雷克的語調和表達方式，有效提高英語發音技巧。這種色彩豐富的故事不僅能夠提升學生的理解能力，還能增加談話時的自信心，特別是在需要展示個人觀點時。通過跟讀不同角色的對話，學習者能夠提升他們的口語能力，成為更流利的英語使用者。
語法與表達在語境中
在影片中，拉米·馬雷克使用了多種語法結構，有助於學習者理解英語的表達方式。以下是幾個關鍵的語言結構：
- 直接引語：使用諸如“他說”和“皇帝問他”等句型，可以幫助學習者理解如何在口語中引入對話。
- 條件句：如“如果能展示我最好的……”這樣的結構使得學習者能明白條件句在設定情境時的重要性。
- 情態動詞：使用像“能”、“應該”等情態動詞可以傳達能力或義務，幫助學習者在不同場合下表達自己的能力和願望。
常見的發音陷阱
在這個影片中，學習者可能會遇到幾個發音挑戰：
- “Emperor”：這個單詞的發音可能會給非母語學習者帶來難度，尤其是在發音重音時。在這個詞中，強調第一個音節是關鍵。
- “Courage”：此詞的發音應注意音節劃分，尤其是在快速對話中，容易出現混淆。
- 語音連音：馬雷克在朗讀時運用了許多連音技巧，使句子聽起來更自然。學習者可以通過模仿這些連音來提升他們的口語流利度。
掌握這些發音技巧對提高英語發音、參加雅思口語練習都非常有幫助。當你進行shadowspeak練習時，儘量注意這些細節，以便你能夠更自信地呈現自己。
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 |
|---|---|
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | was issued · would be given · be chosen |
| 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 | I've grown · have found |
| 最高階 the -est / the most … — 一組中最高或最低的 | their best · the happiest · the most beautiful |
| 過去進行時 was/were + -ing — 過去某一時刻正在進行的動作 | was looking · was frowning |
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。
