1
As a kid, do you remember the absolute adrenaline rush of hearing the ice cream truck?
2
I lived at the top of my neighborhood,
3
so I took it as my civic duty to hop on my bike and alert the rest of the kids.
4
Looking back on this experience,
5
did I care how I looked,
6
frantically knocking on people's doors during dinnertime, drenched in sweat?
7
No. Did I care how I sounded shrieking,
8
the ice cream truck is coming,
9
smash your piggy banks, grab your flavors?
10
No. Why didn't I care?
11
Because I knew I had critical information.
12
that they wanted to know.
13
So public speaking wasn't about me.
14
It was the information I had that I knew could serve them.
15
With AI on the rise,
16
to say lightly, public speaking and human-to-human connection is becoming increasingly important.
17
Sure, you can go on ChatGPT to help craft an email to your boss asking for a raise.
18
But what about when she calls you into her office to discuss.
19
You can't interrupt her mid-sentence and go to AI and be like, Line?
20
Public speaking is becoming increasingly more important,
21
whether it is giving a presentation to your peers,
22
talking to your spouse, or working up the courage to call your favorite restaurant for takeout because they're not on Uber Eats.
23
Public speaking is the fuse that brings us all together.
24
It's also the gateway to opportunity.
25
The first step in a multi-million dollar deal,
26
or a partner saying yes to a proposal
27
or landing your dream opportunity was someone out there who knew how to deliver what they wanted to say
28
so why do people fear public speaking more than they fear sharks spiders and heights
29
or as Jerry Seinfeld says most people would rather be in the casket than giving the eulogy at the funeral
30
because public speaking is one of the most vulnerable exposed human experiences.
31
Personally, I blame school spelling bees or performances where we felt like we couldn't miss a letter,
32
that we had to deliver every line perfectly.
33
But the standard of perfection puts our nerves into a pressure cooker.
34
And so we've been told to combat our nerves,
35
especially as women, to just speak up.
36
Stand tall.
37
Or my favorite one, take up space.
38
But what this kind of advice does is it shifts the attention back onto ourselves,
39
which is ineffective.
40
Great speakers believe they are delivering great information,
41
whether it is about an ice cream truck or about something that'll increase your lifespan.
42
But the other thing that we get wrong is we believe that in order to be a great public speaker,
43
you have to be the center of attention.
44
You have to be the loudest one in the room with the most boisterous personality,
45
or you have to have the super dramatic story about how you single-handedly saved a species on the verge of extinction,
46
or how you climbed Mount Everest blindfolded.
47
So it makes us believe that inherently extroverts are great speakers and introverts aren't.
48
But I deeply identify as an introvert.
49
And here I am standing on this stage talking to you.
50
So let me tell you my experience.
51
I've made a career out of public speaking,
52
both speaking at companies and conferences all over the world,
53
or teaching it to women through my company.
54
But like anything you eventually become decent at,
55
you have to flop before you can fly.
56
And boy, did I flop.
57
Because you see, I thought that public speaking was about convincing people that you deserved to be there,
58
that you deserved to be worthy of their attention.
59
And so anytime I would get in front of people,
60
I would just like fire hose my resume or accolades
61
or press or name drop someone that I was in the room with for like more than two seconds.
62
Because that's what I thought that public speaking was was about showing them that I was important.
63
And as you might guess, it wasn't landing.
64
And so what did I do?
65
I started to study other speakers.
66
And I was like, why am I seeing speakers lose their train of thought on stage
67
or stumble over a word and still get standing ovations?
68
Or why did I trip going up to the stage for the whole audience to see my Spanx?
69
And I still had women wanting to talk to me afterwards.
70
Because being relatable doesn't make you unreliable.
71
It makes you a great speaker that is wired for connection.
72
The pressure to be impressive creates fear within ourselves,
73
lack of authenticity in our delivery,
74
and drives a wedge between the speaker and the listener.
75
I mean, let's be honest,
76
we've all been sitting across the table from someone who is 45 minutes into their monologue,
77
hasn't asked us a single question yet,
78
our coffee is empty,
79
and we are knee deep into hearing every detail of the story about how they actually had the idea for Uber first.
80
If only their college roommate didn't steal their whiteboard, you know.
81
Public speaking isn't about showing that you're important.
82
It's about proving to your audience or your listener that they are important.
83
Which brings me to my secret.
84
If you want to be a great public speaker, ask yourself one question.
85
Where are you shining your light?
86
I have determined there are two types of public speakers.
87
You have a spotlight speaker and you have a lighthouse speaker.
88
A spotlight speaker, the light is shining on you.
89
You are concerned with public perception.
90
You are asking yourselves, how do I look?
91
How do I sound?
92
Does everyone like me?
93
And it's not your fault because that's what we've been conditioned to believe that public speaking is,
94
being in the spotlight.
95
But a lighthouse speaker shifts the light from themselves to their listener.
96
If a spotlight asks, what does everyone think of me?
97
Then a lighthouse asks, what does everyone need of me?
98
When you're a lighthouse speaker,
99
not only you're going to be more impactful,
100
you're not going to get as nervous because it's not about achieving perfection,
101
it's about helping someone arrive at a solution.
102
We would all rather be guided by a lighthouse than a spotlight,
103
which proves that likability as a speaker doesn't come from being perfect.
104
It doesn't come from projecting some sort of forced confidence.
105
It comes from when you have a clear understanding of what your listener needs
106
and a rooted belief in what you know that can help.
107
So, if you want to be a great public speaker,
108
before you speak, ask yourself one question.
109
Where are you shining your light?
110
Thank you.

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？
观看Jess Ekstrom的演讲，能让你了解到公共演讲不仅仅关乎自信心，而是如何有效地传递信息。她通过讲述自己的个人经历和观察，强调了公共演讲在现代社会中的重要性。无论是在工作场合中做演示，还是在日常生活中与他人交谈，掌握一些演讲技巧能够让你更自信地表达自己的想法。
通过这段视频，你可以学习如何让自己的声音被听见，而不是仅仅成为会议中的一个影子。这个视频适合所有希望通过影子跟读来改善口语表达的学习者。适当地模仿和练习可以帮助你掌握公共演讲的艺术，提升与他人沟通的能力，这是学习英语的重要一步。
语法与表达的背景分析
- 疑问句的使用：Jess强调了一个重要问题：“你在哪里发光？”这个疑问句能够引发思考，帮助听众重新审视自己的表达方式。
- 对比结构：演讲中通过对比“ spotlight speaker”和“ lighthouse speaker”，揭示了不同演讲者如何理解和展示自己的重要性，帮助学习者掌握对比句型的使用。
- 被动语态：Jess提到“简历或成就不会获得听众关注”，在这种情况下使用被动语态强调了信息传递者的动态角色及其失去的机会。
以上例子是通过shadow speech练习提升能有效帮助学习者在公共演讲中掌握重点内容和表达自我。这些语法和表达方式会在口语中频繁出现，通过看YouTube学英语并模仿，可以提高你在真实情境中的适应能力。
常见的发音陷阱
在Jess的演讲中，有一些单词可能会让学习者感到困惑。例如，“public speaking”中的“public”和“speaking”，需要注意重音的位置。此外，“authenticity”这个词的发音可能会让非母语者容易出现误读。
为了避免发音错误，建议进行shadowspeaks练习，模仿她的语调和语速，这样能够帮助提高你的语音技巧及流利度，确保你的发音更接近英语母语者。
通过关注这些发音和结构，结合学习shadow speak的方法，你将在公共演讲中更加得心应手，避免常见的语音陷阱。
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。
