Thank you, Matthew.

Hello everyone, Secretary of Genoa, Director Lake, panelists, Secretary Duncan.

I am so excited to see you all here today to discuss this important issue.

So thank you very much for coming.

Now, for those of you expecting hip shaking of any kind, it's not going to happen.

It's just me speaking this time.

Sorry.

We are here because each of us can make a significant difference.

And my hope is that your presence today is a pledge of your commitment and your passion to do everything,

everything that there is in our hands to ensure that every child gets the best start in life.

The first years of life are crucial, are crucial in the development of a human brain.

And the advances in neuroscience are revealing striking information, striking discoveries about how early experiences in the first five years

of life can have a huge impact on the developing brain of a child and repercussions that can last a whole lifetime.

For example, in the early years, there are 700 to 1,000 new neural connections being formed every second.

And to me, this information is astonishing.

I just delivered a baby seven months ago, so you can imagine.

This is the moment when we want to be doing things right for a baby, because as we get older,

the brain loses plasticity, and it becomes more difficult to change its architecture.

Because we have a very, very small window to affect change and to affect the child's life and his future.

We need to provide kids with proper care, nutrition, and stimulation in the first five years of their lives.

Because it is proven that children who benefit from ECD programs do better in school

and later in life as opposed to kids who don't count on that and are more likely to have severe learning disabilities,

lack attentiveness, and lack the ability to interact well with others.

And unfortunately, the disadvantage can be especially drastic when a child is exposed to violence due to war or conflict

because it affects the development of the brain and can cause aggressive behavior later in the adult.

and as a person who comes from a country marked by violence and civil and social strife, I've seen this firsthand because sadly in Colombia,

where I come from, like in many other countries in the developing world, if one is born poor, one is destined to die poor.

And this lack of social mobility is due in great part to education being perceived as a luxury

and not as a birthright.

And as a consequence, people don't have access to equal opportunities.

And this perpetuates the cycle of poverty and unrest.

The good news is that there is an exit strategy.

And that is the reason why we're here today.

And that's what keeps us here advocating for this cause.

In our schools in Colombia, the role of ECD is vital for the kids, especially in order to complete their education successfully.

And now I'd like to show you some images that will help illustrate my point.

We've worked over the years with my Barefoot Foundation

in vulnerable places around the world where many live with less than a dollar a day.

And here are some specific examples in Colombia.

This is a typical home in La Playa.

This is near my hometown, Barranquilla, where 9,000 kids were out of school when we first arrived.

And most of them lived in homes like this one,

shacks with tin roofs or cardboard ceilings and in very precarious conditions you can see it in the picture.

This is the outskirts of Cartagena,

an area plagued by gangs and thousands of displaced families without portable water,

electricity or even paved roads.

Many of our students had been victims of violence themselves or have lost family members.

So you can imagine the obstacles that we had to encounter, I'm sorry, that we encountered that we had to deal with

that ranged from behavior issues to problems of basic infrastructure to malnourishment, you name it.

In order to overcome many of these difficulties, we had to find creative solutions, of course.

So we came up with school feeding programs and parents

and teacher training and psychosocial support for the kids and community at large.

we were very very successful you can imagine um what it was like uh to deal with the many difficulties

and and the satisfaction after we saw um our projects being completed

and you can see it here in the picture this is the barranquilla school for 2 000 students um

and this is the cartagena school for 1800 students

and these are two of the six schools that we have built in Colombia.

We've been able to impact over 60,000 family,

sorry, people, 60,000 people, and virtually eliminate them on nutrition and child labor and local gangs disbanded from the area.

And we were able to commit the government to do their part by bringing electricity, portable water, and even paving roads.

So it has been incredibly, incredibly exciting.

And it has been, aside from that, a process of trial and error.

It hasn't been a path of roses because we had a hard time at some point, a really hard time keeping kids in school

because they never received adequate care and nutrition and stimulation in the first five years of their lives.

So that's when we realized that we were getting to these kids too late.

And it was then when I was introduced to research on ECD, and we made that a priority.

And believe me, that made all the difference in the world.

Kids who had access to ECD programs were more school-ready, could learn the information better.

And today, we have virtually no school dropouts.

So we started forging public and private alliances and expanded throughout Latin America,

building four centers in Mexico in partnership with the local government,

13 in Argentina, and 19 in Colombia.

Here are the pictures again.

You can see actually very pretty centers.

Very proud of them.

The success stories paint the picture much better than I can.

I'd like to talk to you about one of the girls who attends our school, Tania, who used to attend our schools.

Her name was Tania Araque, for example, who entered one of our schools in Soacha, Colombia, at the age of nine.

Yeah, she was nine years old.

And she had been previously expelled from school for serious conduct issues.

And Tania was able to rise above her situation and even become an example to many other students.

She started her own group and started to help other children to keep them out of trouble.

Now she's 19 and at the university, starting to one day become a child psychologist herself.

And this is one of many, many, many examples that I could give you of kids who have turned their lives around in our schools.

And that is the beauty of investing in education.

And that is what keeps me so passionate.

Because the change is real.

And it's immediate.

And it's tangible.

And even from day one, you start witnessing the impact on the children, their families, and entire communities.

So from my personal experience over nearly 20 years working in education, I promise you, I have had the time of my life.

I really have.

Apart from my musical career, of course, it's one of the most exciting things that I've done and it really is incredibly encouraging,

knowing that I haven't wasted my time or money because nobody likes that.

And really, every dollar invested has been proven to produce results.

The plan is to continue developing models for comprehensive ECD centers and programs in Latin America and here in the U.S.

And by the way, we could use partners like you.

So if you're interested in joining us, I'll buy you a coffee after the event and we can chat.

Colombian coffee.

100

This is not about charity.

101

It's about human investment.

102

It's about being proactive rather than reactive and preventing rather than looking at prescriptive solutions.

103

Economic studies demonstrate that for every dollar invested in a child's early education,

104

the same child returns from 10 to 17 dollars in his adult life to the state.

105

Just like my hips, numbers don't lie.

106

those who have done the math is Nobel Prize winning economist James Heckman, who says that ECD interventions lower the risk of disease,

107

increase the wages of children in their adult lives, and also produce benefits for society that are massive,

108

up to 10% a year either in savings or in revenue.

109

The simple truth is that ECD programs boost economic growth

110

and are one of the most effective ways to guarantee global stability and security.

111

I recently read a study by the Brookings Institution that caught my attention,

112

and it states that a national ECD program would add $2 trillion to America's annual GDP within a generation.

113

I'm no economist, but wow.

114

I can only imagine what we'd be looking at if we multiply

115

that number several times with ECD programs in the rest of the world.

116

It's no wonder that politicians and world leaders are all dedicating effort to this issue now.

117

Not to mention that for the first time in history, ECD is being included in the global UN agenda.

118

And also China, I mean, look at China, for instance, are making ECD a priority on their national agendas.

119

But ECD is one of those challenges that can be met only if society works together as a team.

120

A joint approach is needed.

121

And the private sector should pick up where governments live off.

122

It's the only way.

123

We need a new generation of philanthropists and entrepreneurs to make this issue their own.

124

And some of you know the importance of being ahead of the curve.

125

I am convinced that each one of you in this room can be tremendously influential.

126

And we can be the first society that eradicates poverty

127

and figures out an intelligent way to bring education to the most disenfranchised people on earth.

128

So the challenge for each and every one of us here is what are we going to do about it?

129

How do we scale it up?

130

Today we're dealing with issues like world hunger,

131

like climate change, crime, poverty, civil wars, and threats of violence,

132

and the tragedy of the refugees.

133

And the old-fashioned way of addressing issues, one by one, as if they aren't interrelated, as if they existed in a vacuum, simply will not work today.

134

We need a newer, fresher, smarter, and more holistic approach to solving the global issues that concern us all.

135

ECD initiatives to all has to be the cornerstone upon which we build and design strategies for the world's greatest problems.

136

That's what I believe.

137

So we need to keep, or we need to start at least applying the brains

138

and the strategies of business and use the assets of your companies to do social good and to solve our social problems.

139

That is financial capitalism.

140

I often wonder, for example, why there isn't a fund for early childhood development,

141

a global fund, much like the AIDS fund or like the tuberculosis and malaria fund.

142

Money in this fund could be used to encourage countries to agree on initiatives for ECD.

143

That's an idea.

144

But even before there is a fun of this kind, I want to urge you all to commit to being leaders in forming national ECD strategies in countries where you have influence.

145

Too often in the past,

146

the world has under-invested in strategies that involve significant upfront costs to generate long-run benefits that are many times larger.

147

And ECD is the test of whether the world can rise

148

above short-termism to do what is in our best interest in the long run.

149

Every year that passes, without us making significant investments in ECD,

150

millions and millions of kids will be born into the same cycle of poverty and lack of opportunity.

151

Today, there are still 59 million kids out of school.

152

We cannot afford this.

153

From an economic perspective, it is important, sure.

154

But now take that to a human level and the case becomes so much more stronger.

155

Because money isn't everything in the end.

156

But investing in humans and the future of our society is.

157

I strongly believe that the best is yet to come.

158

But we need to move faster.

159

Our children and our collective future depend on it.

160

Thank you very much.

影子跟读练习技巧

视频中莎琪拉的演讲语速适中，语气真挚，非常适合影子跟读。建议先完整听一遍，感受整体节奏，再逐句跟读。注意她在强调“700到1000个新神经连接”时的重音，以及讲述哥伦比亚经历时的情感起伏。

练习时可使用影子跟读网站，重复播放关键段落，比如“生命最初五年至关重要”这部分，模仿她的停顿和语调。影子跟读不仅能提升口语流畅度，还能帮助你在雅思口语练习中更自然地表达观点。记住，影子跟读的关键是“紧随其后”，尽量缩小与原音的时间差，这样才能有效训练听力和口语的同步反应。

此外，留意视频中列举实例的表达方式，如“这是拉普拉亚的典型家庭”，学习如何用具体场景支撑论点。多做这样的练习，你会发现自己的英语表达越来越生动，逻辑也更清晰。

视频中的语法

说话人最常用的结构，并附上视频中的原话：

结构	视频中的用法
现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事	I've seen · We've worked · have lost
被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么，而不是谁做的	being formed · is proven · is exposed
定语从句 who / which + 从句 — 补充说明人或事物	children who benefit · kids who don · person who comes

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
