You know, you know, we started this great effort on a sunny July morning in Pindar’s Corner on Pat and Liz Moynihan’s beautiful farm and 62 counties, 16 months, 3 debates, 2 opponents, and 6 black pantsuits later, because of you, here we are.
You came out and said that issues and ideals matter. Jobs matter downstate and upstate. Health care matters, education matters, the environment matters, Social Security matters, a woman’s right to choose matters. It all matters and I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you, New York!
Thank you for opening up your minds and your hearts, for seeing the possibility of what we could do together for our children and for our future here in this state and in our nation. I am profoundly grateful to all of you for giving me the chance to serve you.
I promise you tonight that I will reach across party lines to bring progress for all of New York’s families. Today we voted as Democrats and Republicans. Tomorrow we begin again as New Yorkers.
You see, I believe our nation owes every responsible citizen and every responsible family the tools that they need to make the most of their own lives. That’s the basic bargain. I’ll do my best to honor in the United States Senate.
And to those of you who did not support me, I want you to know that I will work in the Senate for you and for all New Yorkers. And to those of you who worked so hard and never lost faith even in the toughest times, I offer you my undying gratitude.

希拉里竞选纽约参议员的演讲(精选)
大家知道,我们是在七月的一个阳光灿烂的早上,从帕特和丽兹·莫伊尼汉夫妇位于频德角的美丽农场开始迈出了这艰难的一步,然后辗转六十二个县,历经过十六个月、三场辩论,打败了两个竞争对手,穿破六套黑色便服。如今,在你们的支持下,我们终于胜利了。
你们说,各项议题和观念非常重要--全州的就业问题是重要的,医疗保健是重要的,教育是重要的,环境是重要的,社会保险是重要的,还有妇女选择权是重要的。这些全都重要,而我只想衷心道一声:谢谢你,纽约!
感谢你们开放思想,不存成见,感谢你们相信我们携手为子孙后代、为我州,以至全国的未来而共同努力的美好前景。我对你们每个人都深怀谢意,感谢你们给了我一个为大家服务的机会。
今晚我发誓,我将跨越两党的界线为全纽约州的所有家庭创造繁荣与进步。今天,我们以民主党人和共和党人的身份投票;明天,我们将作为纽约人重新开始。
大家知道,我们国家有义务让每个有责任感的公民和家庭的生活更上一层楼。这是最起码的,作为一名参议员,我将尽自己最大的努力来实现它。
对于那些在过去没有支持我的人们,我想告诉你们,我将在参议院为你们、为全体纽约人而工作。对于那些勤奋工作、甚至在最艰难的时期也不放弃信念的人们,我永远感谢你们。

The Key to Excellent Speaking
What is the most important English skill? What skill must you have to communicate well? Obviously, number one is fluency.
What is fluency? Fluency is the ability to speak and understand English quickly and easily without translation. Fluency means you can talk easily with native speakers--they easily understand you, and you easily understand them. In fact, you speak and understand instantly. Fluency is your most important English goal. The research is clear--there is only one way to get fluency.
Listening is the key. To get English fluency, you must have a lot of understandable repetitive listening. That is the only way. To be a fantastic English speaker, you must learn English with your ears, not with your eyes. In other words, you must listen. Your ears are the key to excellent speaking.
What kind of listening is best? Well, it must be understandable and must be repetitive. Both of those words are important--Understandable and Repetitive. If you don't understand, you learn nothing. You will not improve. So, the best listening material is easy. That’s right! You should listen mostly to easy English. Most students listen to English that is much too difficult. They don’t understand enough, and so they learn slowly. Listen to easier English, and your speaking will improve faster!
Understanding is only half the formula. Understanding is not enough. You must also have a lot of repetition. If you hear a new word only once, you will soon forget it. If you hear it five times, you will still probably forget it! To know a word and instantly understand it, you probably need to hear it 50-100 times!
So, the two most important points are: listen to easier English and listen to each thing many times.
