Rehra Srinivasan Reviewer Rehra Srinivasan Reviewer When I was a child, I thought changing the world was simple.
2
I would tell the people in charge all of my problems, and they would fix them.
3
I know how naive this sounds now, but at nine or 10 years old, it made sense to me.
4
I lived in a remote mountainous region of Pakistan.
5
The prime minister was more than 100 miles away from me, in the capital city, he couldn't see the trash polluting our rivers or our broken school bus or hospitals with outdated equipment.
6
I was sure that our leaders could solve all of these problems if only I could get their attention.
7
At age 11, I faced the biggest, most devastating problem of my life.
8
The Taliban took control of my town and decreed that girls could no longer go to school.
9
I knew what life would be like for me without an education.
10
Marriage in my teens, two or three children.
11
By the time I was just 20, it meant I would have no choice, no control of my future.
12
If I was ever going to get people's attention, this was the moment.
13
I decided to become an activist.
14
I gave interviews at protests, I spoke on television, I wrote a blog for the BBC, and I appeared in a New York Times documentary.
15

16
Simply for the crime of speaking out, the Taliban tried to kill me, shooting me in the face at point-blank range.

I was 15 years old.
18
But with the help of many doctors and even more prayers, I survived.
19
Millions of people heard my story.
20
Presidents and prime ministers all over the world wanted to meet me.
21
I was finally in the rooms where decisions were made.
22
and I could bring attention to girls like me who did not have the opportunity to be in school.
23
And that's when I realized that changing the world wasn't as simple as pointing out the problems.
24
You had to argue for every policy change and budget increase, and you might have to get the support of as many people as possible, and you might have to advocate for months or even years to take one step forward.
25
Eventually, I came to believe that change was slow, but steady.
26
Incremental, but thankfully inevitable.
27
My foundation had been hope and optimism.
28
Faith that people would do the right thing.
29
Trust that when leaders said they cared about making our lives better, they meant it, even if it took longer than I wished.
30
But then, in a single day, my belief in progress shattered.
31
It was August 2021.
32
I was in the hospital, recovering from one last surgery to repair the facial paralysis I suffered after the attack.
33
I picked up my phone and saw the Taliban had taken control of Afghanistan.
34
I was stunned, shattered, terrified, angry.
35
How could I continue to have faith that things would improve?
36
How could anyone believe that leaders were committed to girls' education when they handed over an entire country to the men who pointed a gun at my head and pulled the trigger.
37
From the recovery room, I called Afghan women I knew, activists who were working around the country.
38
They were frightened too.
39
On TV, experts and politicians were saying that the Taliban had changed, that this new version of the Taliban wouldn't ban girls from school or oppress women.
40
The Afghans I spoke with didn't believe it.
41
And they were right.
42
Today, in Afghanistan, girls are not allowed to attend school past sixth grade.
43
It is a crime.
44
Women who five years ago were doctors, politicians, engineers and artists are not allowed to go to university or pursue a career.
45
A woman speaking in public is a crime.
46
But do you know what is not considered a crime?
47
This year, in 2026, the Taliban decreed that it is legal for men to beat their wives and daughters.
48
The Taliban have imposed a system of segregation and domination, a gender apartheid on millions of women and girls.
49
For years, I thought the purpose of my life was to serve girls.
50
After Afghanistan, the optimism I had as an 11-year-old activist was gone.
51
But I couldn't walk away, because I knew exactly what Afghan girls were going through.
52
When I saw pictures of little girls standing outside the locked gates of their schools, I could not stop thinking about them.
53
I know many of us feel overwhelmed and lost today, like the obstacles are too big, and there's little we can do to fix the problem.
54
But there's a lot I have learned over the past few years, and I want to share with you how to keep fighting for change when you have lost hope.
55
First, you have to start with something.
56
While I couldn't undo the catastrophe that had just happened in Afghanistan, I knew I had to get out of my hospital bed and find a way to help.
57
I started by supporting underground schools, because the Afghan girls are not giving up on learning, even if it means risking their lives.
58
Across the country today, they are listening to lessons on the radio, discreetly passing cassette tapes and books to each other, and trying to keep studying in secret.
59
It is far from the education that they deserve, but it's a start.
60
The second thing I learned is the importance of working with others.
61
And that has led me to some unexpected places, like movie theaters and football fields.
62
I have produced two films about Afghanistan, Bread and Roses and Champions of the Golden Valley.
63
Stories of Afghan men and women who are resisting the Taliban's oppression.
64
And I have joined the campaign of Afghan women's national football team to push FIFA to allow them to compete in exile.
65
The Taliban are erasing...
66
Thank you.
67
The Taliban are erasing women from public life.
68
But I am here to do the opposite of what the Taliban want.
69
That is why I am taking every opportunity to show Afghan women speaking, singing, kicking the ball, and standing up for their rights.
70
because the artists and athletes that I work with help connect the world to the women and girls who are living through this crisis and to the belief that every life carries equal worth.
71
My final lesson.
72
Stay ambitious.
73
I know it might sound foolish to be setting high goals when you are losing a battle, but the bigger the fight, the bolder you have to be.
74
What is happening in Afghanistan is a wake-up call for all of us.
75
Because the Taliban's cruelty against women and girls did not begin in 2021.
76
They tried to silence me a decade earlier in Pakistan.
77
And before I was even born, they were stopping girls from school in parts of Afghanistan.
78
Yet, we have no international laws against gender apartheid, nowhere to hold the perpetrators and their sympathizers accountable.
79
That is why Afghan women are campaigning to add these abuses to the UN's Crime Against Humanity Treaty.
80
And I have joined this movement to ensure that we change things for women and girls everywhere.
81
It is a big goal.
82
I know it may take many years to see the Taliban brought to justice.
83
But I will keep fighting so that these crimes are not committed against another generation of girls anywhere in the world.
84
When I think about the 11-year-old girl I once was, I want her to be proud of who I am today.
85
I want her to know that although changing the world is not as simple as she thought, I will not give up.
86
Here is the truth.
87
I don't have all the answers on how to change the world, And I don't believe anyone else does either.
88
If I have learned anything, it is that progress is never guaranteed.
89
There isn't one speech or one story, one moment or one person that can bend the arc of history on their own.
90
But if we start with something, work together, and stay ambitious, hope stops being the thing we wait to feel and become something we create.
91
Thank you.
92
Thank you.
93
Thank you so much.
94
Thank you.

关于本课

在本课中,学习者将专注于通过观看Malala Yousafzai的TED演讲来提高自己的英语口语能力。演讲中涉及的主题包括勇气、改变世界的挑战以及女孩教育的重要性,适合作为学习者提升英语发音的材料。通过重复和模仿演讲者的语音语调,您将能更有效地掌握语言的节奏和表达。

关键词汇与短语

  • 改变世界 (changing the world)
  • 女孩教育 (girls' education)
  • 抗争者 (activist)
  • 政策变化 (policy change)
  • 慢而稳定 (slow but steady)
  • 性别隔离 (gender segregation)
  • 公民权利 (civil rights)

练习技巧

在进行英语口语练习时,建议使用shadowing site的一种方法,通过反复跟读演讲者的发音、语调和节奏,来提高自己的发音技巧。由于Malala的演讲富有激情且语速相对适中,适合用来进行看YouTube学英语的练习。您可以先听一个段落,再暂停并尝试模仿其发音和语调,重点关注情感表现和节奏感。这个过程对于增强英语口语练习能力和信心非常有效。

在进行shadow speech时,您可以选择逐句跟读,甚至录下自己的声音与原文进行对比,帮助检测发音的不准确之处。在整个过程中,请保持耐心,明白提升英语发音需要时间和不断的练习。不断的努力和跟读最终会让您的口语表达更加自然流利。通过这种方式,您不仅能够学会正确的发音,还能掌握更多丰富的表达方式,从而提高自己的英语口语水平。

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。
