. everyone should make ato protect the environment. taking care of our environment is very important. no matter where we live, we can do something around our neighborhood. have you ever thrown any litter onto the ground? have you ever drawn pictures on public walls? have you ever cut down trees? if your answers are "no", it means that you have already helped protect our environment.
it is our duty to keep our environment clean and tidy. you might ask yourself, "have i ever picked up some rubbish and thrown it into a dustbin? have i ever collected waste paper or bottles for recycling? have i ever planted any trees or flowers in or near my neighborhood?" if your answers are "yes", it means that you have already done something useful to improve the environment. moreover, we should also use public transportation as possible as we can. we should also save water and electricity and other resources for next generation.
now i want to say: let’s do our best to make our world more beautiful!

高級版（見見高手！）第八屆21世紀杯全國英語演講比賽冠軍---顧秋蓓演講稿
a scene to remember
good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:
today i would like to begin with a story. there was once a physical therapist who traveled all the way from america to africa to do a census about mountain gorillas. these gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world; this put them severely under threat of poaching and being put into the zoo. she went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures. she witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we've ever been,
where in the very depth of the african rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas cuddled their babies.
今天，我想首先用一個小故事。曾經有一個物理治療師誰親赴從美國到非洲做一個關於山地大猩猩普查。這些大猩猩是對遊客的吸引力，主要來自世界各地，這使他們嚴重不足的偷獵威脅，目前到動物園付諸表決。她去了好奇，但她看見她的決心，增強她的一生奉獻為這些美麗的生物戰鬥。她親眼目睹的場景，場景帶我們到一個地方，我們從來沒有影像，我們經歷過的，其中在非洲熱帶雨林的深處，樹木，花卉，蝴蝶，大猩猩包圍的母親擁抱自己的嬰兒。
yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called gorillas in the mist, based on a true story of mrs. diana fossey, who spent most of her lifetime in rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.
是的，在我最喜歡的電影之一難忘的場景，呼籲在薄霧大猩猩的基礎上，戴安娜弗西夫人，誰在此度過了一生中最盧旺達保護，直到她生命的最後的生態環境有真實的故事。
to me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our eco-environment.
對我來説，電影，不僅提供了一個難忘的場景，而且也是一個永恆提醒我們，我們不應該在發展我們的生態成本，環境，旅遊業行為。
today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems. on the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go. it has become a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in gdp growth. it has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity. but on the other hand, many problems can occur - natural scenes aren't natural anymore.
deforestation to heat lodges are devastating nepal. oil spills from tourist boats are polluting antarctica. tribal people are forsaking their native music and dress to listen to u2 on walkman and wear nike and reeboks.
今天，我們生活在一個繁榮的世界，但仍這麼多的新問題的威脅。一方面，旅遊業作為21世紀最有前途的產業之一，為我們提供了極好的機會都沒有看到人都會看到，並前往任何地方有去。這已成為一些人的生活方式，並已被證明是在國內生產總值增長的推動力。它的神奇，把一個繁榮仙境1落後的小城。但在另一方面，可能會出現很多問題-自然景觀不自然了。砍伐森林的熱小屋是毀滅性的尼泊爾。旅遊船油泄漏污染是南極。部落的人喪失了本土音樂和服飾，聽取他們對隨身聽u2和穿耐克和鋭步。
all these appalling facts have brought us to the realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been eroding our resources. encouragingly, the explosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the united nations has made 2014 the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the world's attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our environment.
所有這些令人震驚的事實使我們認識到，我們不能再袖手旁觀，什麼都不做，因為它認為非常侵蝕了我們的資源。令人鼓舞的是，全球旅遊的爆炸性增長已經把旅遊業再次在聚光燈下，這就是為什麼聯合國2014年提出的生態旅遊首次提請全世界注意旅遊業的好處，但也其能力，破壞我們的生態環境。
now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection organizations are receiving donations - big notes, small notes or even coins - from housewives, plumbers, ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and invalids. some of them cannot afford to send the money but they do. these are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood. why? because they care. because they still want their mother nature back. because they know it still belongs to them.
現在每年有很多地方ecoenvironmental保護組織接受捐贈-大筆記，筆記，甚至小硬幣-從家庭主婦，管道工，救護車司機，售貨員，教師，兒童和殘疾人。其中一些人可沒有錢給的錢，但他們這樣做。這是誰駕駛的出租車，誰在醫院護士，誰從他們所在地區的生態破壞的痛苦。為什麼？因為他們的照顧。因為他們仍然希望他們回到大自然。因為他們知道它仍然屬於他們。
this kind of feeling that i have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it， it's all coming from a scene to be remembered, a scene to recall and to cherish.
這種感覺，我有，女士們，先生們，是當它的感覺，喜歡這種氣味，而且看來，這一切都從一個場景來記住，一個場景回顧和珍惜。
the other night, as i saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs. i found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to something else, someplace else, a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seemed to have been except the deer.
有一天晚上，我看見月亮徘徊在土地和前被送進了無形的，心裏卻充滿了歌曲。我發現自己輕輕哼唱，而不是音樂，而是別的東西，別的地方，一個地方記住，一個地方不動，一個草地，再沒有人似乎除了鹿被。
and all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's time for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.
once again, i have come to think of mrs. diana fossey because it is with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world. 和那些難忘的情景更增強了的感覺，現在需要我們做一些事情，為我們自己和我們的未來一代。再次，我所認為的夫人戴安娜弗西，因為它與她的精神，熱情，勇氣和強烈的生態環境，我們的感覺是，我們正在進入世界的下一個步驟。
and no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our minds, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.不管我們是誰，我們做什麼，而且我們去，在我們的腦海，總有一個場景要記住，一個值得努力保護，並爭取的場景。 thank you very much.
the rhythm of life 第十五屆“21世紀杯”全國英語演講比賽冠軍李億演講稿
ladies and gentlemen:
how well are we in tune with the rhythm of life? in our busy day to day existence, we don’t often stop to ask ourselves this question. at least i don’t. and it wasn’t until i joined a competitive sporting event that i learned a most important lesson – we must place our mind in harmony with the natural order of things to be successful.
let me tell you what happened.
i decided to take part in an international marathon in my hometown last year. being an ambitious person, i hoped to finish it within 5 hours, accompanied by my friend with whom i had trained.
the big day finally arrived. "" and we were off.
at first, we kept a rapid pace and ran nonstop. at this pace, we finished the first 20 kilometers in 2 hours and i thought running a marathon was a piece of cake. then my running mate began to slow down. i urged him to keep running at the same pace but he said no, he wanted to conserve his energy. i felt i had partnered with the wrong person; therefore, i sprinted on and left him behind in the dust.
a few kilometers later, i began to understand his strategy as my pace s(版權歸本站)lowed to a jog then a walk. after that i was incapable of moving another step. i was humiliated as more and more people ran passed me. more than once i thought "maybe i should quit." i started to doubt my ability to finish this race.
at this moment, my running mate caught up with me and slapped me on the back. “follow me,” he shouted. he had balanced his marathon pace and was encouraged me to do the same. for the rest of this grueling contest, we walked, jogged, ran a few miles, and walked again. slowly, painfully but hopefully this time, we established the most suitable pace within the natural flow of our physical capabilities.
eventually we accomplished our first marathon of 42 kilometers in 4 and half hours. i asked myself, what did this marathon mean to me? my marathon experience became an influential metaphor for my life about how we must learn to pace ourselves in everything, by being in tune with the rhythm of life.
like the tide that ebbs and flows, we must listen to advice but make our own decisions. like the show at dawn and dusk, we must learn to balance pride and modesty. and from the way the wind can both shout and whisper, we must learn when to be strong and when to be gentle, for everything moves in its own rhythm and its own yin and yang elements. it is the interaction of these complementary extremes that produces harmony, as laozi said, extremes meet. since the marathon, this notion of two opposite forces working together has been my running partner, so to speak. yin and yang exist everywhere, constantly interacting, and never existing in an absolute condition.
ladies and gentlemen, life is like running a marathon, let us discover, define and develop a natural rhythm of life, in order to achieve both harmony and success.
thank you for listening．

思維的遊戲——第三屆21世紀杯全國英語演講比賽冠軍樑勵敏

第三屆21世紀杯全國英語演講比賽冠軍樑勵敏
可能是由於我對英語學習一直懷着巨大的熱情，同時成績也不錯的緣故吧，從中學起我就成了各種英語比賽的常客，尤其在大學階段，我有幸兩次參加全國性的英語賽事。如今，當時比賽中扣人心絃的種種情形已漸漸被時間沖淡，只在偶然間會被重新記起。然而備戰的過程卻給我留下了許多值得回味的東西，它在潛移默化中影響甚至是改變着我的生活。
北外—青春的課堂
如果有人問我，大學時代感受最深、收穫最大的是什麼？我會毫不猶豫的説，是有幸得到諸多良師的指點。他們賦予我的，不但是知識上的薰陶，更是把一種人文主義的精神長久的植入我的腦海。這些感受，許多來自課堂，也有許多來自數次為參加全國比賽而進行的集訓。
楊宇光老師是我兩次比賽的指導老師，1997年辯論賽時他就是我們辯論隊的主教練。印象中他永遠的治學嚴謹，永遠的紳士風度，永遠説用詞考究的british english，有着英國式的幽默。儘管當時比賽的辯題並不是特別深刻的學術話題，但他依然要求我們深入破題，在底下做充分的research。為了給我們拓寬思路，他屢次召集系裏的熱心老師，從老教授到年輕教員，與我們一同討論。用他的話來説，只有充分剖析，寫出來的東西才能有分量——這也是北外的學術傳統的體現。為了指導我們，他放棄了許多休息的時間。對我們的presentation，他逐字逐句進行修改；幾乎每天他都親自安排我們的訓練並細心點評我們發揮中的優缺點。
到了第二年演講賽的時候，他又成為我的指導老師。當時我的演講稿寫得並不順。有的學校在這種大賽時採取老師替學生捉刀的方法，準備演講部分的寫作就由老師代勞。但楊老師始終認為，這一環節也是對學生極好的鍛鍊。記得那一個講稿，我重寫了兩三遍，每一遍都對選題有了更深的理解，寫得也更好一些。比賽時間迫近了，他把學院參加第一屆“21世紀杯”並獲獎的師兄徐翌成找來，説，“let’s put our heads together, and make a final effort at it.”那天晚上，我們改稿改到深夜，終於拿出了一個令人滿意的version，稿子比我自己的更大氣，更層層深入，也更有文采。這篇文章為我的比賽增色不少，而經過賽前的充分準備，我在回答問題部分和即興演講部分也發揮得很好，正式宣佈結果前，老師走過來微笑着拍拍我的肩，説“i think we made it this time.”and we did.
在我們比賽的智囊團中，還有許多老師給我留下了深刻印象。楊立民老師就是其中的一位。他是一位充滿智慧，學識淵博，又帶一點cynical的教授。年逾花甲的他，常常還穿着牛仔褲出現在校園裏，見了我們總是樂呵呵的，玩笑不斷，常常能出驚人之語。記得準備辯
論的時候，他把辯論精闢的歸結為“an exchange of ignorance” — 因為辯論往往使雙方囿於自己一方的觀點而不能心平氣和的聆聽對方的論證。到演講比賽時，他又拿選題—摘自莎翁劇本的一句話“all the world is a stage”—借題發揮。他説，“all the world is a stage. men and women are actors. there are comedies and tragedies. and the speech contest is a farce.”暗喻演講比賽很難避免的showcase的因素，令人捧腹不已。這就是他的風格——在漫不經心的評説中透出耐人尋味的哲理。他雖然如此輕描淡寫，但在每次brain storming session上，卻又能智光四射的給我們提供許多思想的火花。對他的厚積薄發，我們時常感到由衷的折服。
演講，辯論賽的備戰，因其能夠得到學院的最強的師資陣容的點撥，而令所有過來人受益匪淺。記得1995年復旦大學奪得華語國際大專辯論賽冠軍後出版的《獅城舌戰》一書中，選手們把由多位資深教授給他們準備的系列講座稱為“濃縮的精神大餐”，把思辨的訓練稱為“把神經繃到極細的線”的生活。而我們當時訓練的規模雖小，卻也能讓我們深深體會到此中的滋味，這實為人生的幸事。
有人説，人們可以忘記年年歲歲，卻無法忘記片刻與瞬間，正是這些片刻與瞬間，讓短暫成為永恆。正是與老師朝夕相處的點點滴滴，讓我領悟到他們的治學和做人之道。我們深諳，比賽的勝負其實並不是最重要的，它只是我們鍛鍊自身素質的一種途徑，而更值得回味的，是過程中的所得，是領會那種踏踏實實的做學問的精神。
這對我來説是一筆永久的精神財富。
語言的錘鍊和思維的遊戲
備戰比賽的過程本身對於我是非常rewarding的經歷。
演講稿，辯論詞的寫作是沉澱思想、錘鍊語言的好機會。我記得當年“21世紀杯”的演講題是“east and west, can we live in two cultures”，要把這樣大的一個題目在四分鐘之內説清楚，説精彩實非易事。寫作的過程是一個painstaking process, 我從構思到定稿大概花了三週多的時間，而且幾易其稿。而辯論賽中的presentation，更是要求寫得邏輯縝密，絲絲入扣，兼具文采。我們常常要在短時間內同時就一個辯題寫正反兩方的辯詞，這種寫作的訓練，在平時是很少見的。
口頭實戰訓練則無疑是強化口語的最佳途徑。在講台上或在辯場上，我們需要擁有一個清醒而敏捷的頭腦，並習慣用英語思維。有人説口才好是天生的，這也許有幾分道理，但我的經驗告訴我，後天的訓練也不可小覷。通過每天的強化訓練，我們漸漸習慣於“think while we speak”，語言也變得越來越流利, 甚至能夠在即興的辯論中不時冒出精彩之語。現在想來，集訓的那段時間，我的英語口語水平，寫作能力和口才可以説是達到了學生時代的一個高峯。
比賽給我語言上的幫助可能還在其次，更重要的是它是一種思維的遊戲。即興演講和辯論賽對於選手心智的磨練都是非常taxing的。它們都要求我們就某一個controversial issue在短時間的思考後take sides, 然後在腦子裏迅速羅列問題正反兩方的major arguments並抓住自己支持的一方進行有條不紊、清楚有力的闡述。
不過，演講因為缺乏與人針鋒相對的交鋒，還僅僅是一個人的思維的“直線式”的表達。相比之下，辯論則是在雙方劍拔弩張的緊張氣氛中對於參加者的語言和思想的更為嚴峻的考驗，可以説是口語交流中的最高境界。一個勢均力敵的選題，給雙方都有很大的辯論空間，辯手運用嚴密的邏輯論證和各種辯論技巧，可以形成很精彩的對話。即便看似uneven的選題中處於劣勢的一方，也常常可以打破慣性思維，從另一個角度或常識的相反面去思考，從中找到合理而有説服力的論證，“山窮水復疑無路，柳暗花明又一村”。我覺得這種充分激發思維的活力，從不同角度來思考問題的方式，對習慣了一言堂，習慣去尋找一個標準答案的中國學生而言，更值得提倡。當然，由於辯論雙方都必須堅持己見，觀點有時難免偏頗，但不論怎樣，我覺得從純粹的intellectual exercise來看，辯論還是不可多得的訓練方法。
國外許多知名大學都有speech club和debating club。而記得我作為“21世紀杯”演講賽的獲勝者參加英國english speaking union的workshop的時候，也親眼目睹許多外國朋友年紀小小就成為出色而老練的演講者、辯手，不由感歎西方良好oral tradition對年輕人的薰陶。相比之下，我國的教育在這一塊就欠缺許多了。正因為這樣，當年比賽時就有老師感慨，不應只有參賽的一小部分同學得益於這一類的口語和思維訓練，也不應只為比賽而比賽，而應當將這種培訓機制化、經常化，使更多的同學感受此中的妙趣，得到鍛鍊。推廣這一類的社團，從小處講，可以培養個人的口才和能力，從大處講，有助於推動民主空氣的形成。
學會挑戰自我
任何一個比賽，都不僅是實力的比拼，也是心理素質的較量。中國不像西方那樣有很好的oral tradition, 能夠在大庭廣眾之下對自己的觀點侃侃而談，這對許多在傳統教育模式下成長起來的擅長考試而訥於口語表達的中國學生來説是一個不小的挑戰。同時，比賽不僅是數十名選手展示個人風採的舞台，也是各高校之間暗自較量的地方，選手往往還肩負着學校榮譽的擔子。因此，如何很好的對待自身和外界的壓力，發揮自己的水平，是除了實力之外演講者要面對的另一大問題。
1998年我參加演講比賽時是頂着挺大的壓力的。這不僅由於比賽的規模和影響力之大，也由於此前一年，我代表學校參加“外研杯”英語辯論賽與冠軍失之交臂。因此再次參賽時我就有一種患得患失的心理，生怕這一次不能取得更好的成績，“無顏面對江東父老”。
壓力對每個選手來説都是存在的，如何排解它還要看自己。海明威有一句名言“重壓下的輕鬆”(grace under pressure)，是我很欣賞的，但要做到並不容易。我記得在備戰的過程中有一部名為“listen to me”的美國電影給了我很大的激勵。影片講述的是一支名不見經傳的大學辯論隊克服重重困難，最終挫敗來自名校的對手，折桂全美大學辯論賽的故事。從他們的刻苦訓練和慷慨陳詞中，我似乎感受到一種敢於挑戰自身極限的勇氣。可能是在這種心態下，我做到了把勝負暫且置之度外，經過充分的準備，最終奪冠。
生活不總是賽場，但這種頂住壓力、自我超越的精神卻能夠指導我們的生活。研究生畢業後，我考入中央電視台英語頻道成為一名記者。有的朋友對我的選擇頗感意外。因為我性格比較內向，似乎與風風火火的記者形象不夠“match”。但對我來説，這恰是一個welcoming challenge.
兩年多的記者生涯使我對生活有了新的感悟。如果説學生時代賦予你一個寬鬆的環境可以悠閒的做一點學問，你習慣了與老師同學，書本里的先哲和自己腦海中的假想人物對話，那麼記者的生活則完全不同——整天跟時間賽跑，與形形色色的人交流，然後要求自己在極有限的時間內寫稿，編片，讓新聞在第一時間播出去。適逢在外地報道，或是針對一個突發事件的報道，那麼對記者的要求就更為苛刻。任何狀況都可能隨時出現— 聯繫採訪困難重重；寫稿的時間特別緊張；做出鏡的時候，由於時間和場景所限，可能必須一遍過關，還不能是平鋪直敍；在傳送片子的時候隨時都可能出現意外。相比之下，當年演講賽面對的那種壓力，可能就不算什麼了。壓力雖然很大，但每每在完成各種看似的mission impossible的時候，我的成就感也是巨大的。記得在齊齊哈爾採訪日軍遺留化學武器造成重大傷亡的新聞的時候，我遇到了上述所有的困難。不過還是咬牙一個個克服了，我在一週的時間內發回了系列報道，有的還是獨家採訪。其中有一條新聞後來獲得全國新聞彩虹獎二等獎。
六年過去了，北外的學生生活已成為我青春的背影，演講比賽的諸多細節隨時間的流轉成為逝去的記憶。在這六年裏我的生活也發生了諸多變化，而當年那些為比賽全身心投入過，期待過，哭過和笑過的日子則成為大學生活美好記憶的裝點。我想，在學生生活裏有過這樣一段經歷，是彌足珍貴的，而這種人生體驗還將在無形中影響我今後的人生旅程。

第三篇：全國英語演講比賽冠軍演講稿
全國英語演講比賽冠軍演講稿
“21世紀·愛立信杯”全國英語演講比賽冠軍得主的演講稿：
to me march 28th was a lucky day. it was on that particular evening that i found myself at central stage, in the spotlight. winning the "21st century·ericsson cup" seventh national english speaking competition is a memory that i shall treasure and one that will surely stay.
more important than winning the cup is the friendship that has been established and developed among the contestants, and the chance to communicate offstage in addition to competing onstage. also the competition helps boost public speaking in china, a skill hitherto undervalued.
for me, though, the competition is a more personal experience. habitually shy, i had been reluctant to take part in any such activities. encouraged by my friends, however, i made a last-minute decision to give it a try. in the course of preparation i somehow rediscovered myself, a truer me.
i found that, after all, i like communicating with other people; that exchanging views can be so much fun—and so much rewarding, both emotionally and intellectually; that public speaking is most effective when you are least guarded; and that it is essential to success in every walk of life.
at a more practical level, i realized knowing what you are going to say and how you are going to say it are equally important. to take the original ideas out of your head and transplant them, so to speak, to that of others, you need to have an organized mind. this ability improves with training.
yet there should not be any loss or addition or distortion in the process. those ideas that finally find their waysintosanother head need to be recognizably yours. language is a means
to transmit information, not a means to obstruct communication. it should be lucid to be penetrating.
in china, certain public speaking skills have been unduly emphasized. will it really help, we are compelled to ask, to bang at the podium or yell at the top of your lungs, if you have come with a poorly organized speech, a muddled mind, and unwillingness to truly share your views?
above all, the single most important thing i learnt was that as a public speaker, you need to pay attention, first and foremost, to the content of your speech. and second, the structure of your speech: how one idea relates and progresses to another.
only after these come delivery and non-verbal communication: speed control, platform manner, and so on. pronunciation is important, yet of greater importance is this: is your language competent enough to express your ideas exactly the way you intend them to be understood?
i was informed afterwards that i was chosen to be the winner for my "appropriately worded speech, excellent presence and quick-witted response". in so remarking, the judges clearly showed their preference: they come to listen for meaningful ideas, not for loose judgments, nor easy laughters.
some contestants failed to address their questions head on. some were able to, but did not knowswheresto stop—the dragging on betrayed their lack of confidence. the root cause was that they did not listen attentively to the questions. or they were thinking of what they had prepared.
as i said in my speech, "it is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking ... to take them [issues like globalization] on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way". we need to respond honestly.
a competition like this draws talented students from all over the country. and of course, i learnt more things than just about public speaking. since in the final analysis, public speaking is all about effective communication. and this goes true for all communications, whatever their setting.
and the following is the final version of my speech:
globalization:
opportunities and challenges
for china's younger generation
thirty years ago, american president richard nixon made an epoch-making visit to china, a country still isolated at that time. premier zhou enlai said to him, "your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world—twenty-five years of no communication". thirty years since, china and america have exchanged many handshakes. the fundamental implication of this example is that the need to communicate across differences in culture and ideology is not only felt by the two countries but by many other nations as well.
as we can see today, environmentalists from different countries are making joint efforts to address the issue of global warming, economists are seeking solutions to financial crises that rage in a particular region but nonetheless cripple the world economy, and politicians and diplomats are getting together to discuss the issue of combating terrorism. peace and prosperity has become a common goal that we are striving for all over the world. underlying this mighty trend of global communication is the echo of e. m. forster's words "only connect!"
with the it revolution, traditional boundaries of human society fall away. our culture, politics, society and commerce are being sloshedsintosone large melting pot of humanity. in
this interlinked world, there are no outsiders, for a disturbance in one place is likely to impact other parts of the globe. we have begun to realize that a world divided cannot endure.
china is now actively integratingsintosthe world. our recent entry to the wto is a good example. for decades, we have taken pride in being self-reliant, but now we realize the importance of participating in and contributing to a broader economic order. from a precarious role in the world arena to our present wto membership, we have come a long way.
but what does the way ahead look like? in some parts of the world people are demonstrating against globalization. are they justified, then, in criticizing the globalizing world? instead of narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, they say, globalization enables the developed nations to swallow the developing nations' wealth in debts and interest. globalization, they argue, should be about a common interest in every other nation's economic health.
we are reminded by karl marx that capital goes beyond national borders and eludes control from any other entity. this has become a reality. multinational corporations are seeking the lowest cost, the largest market, and the most favourable policy. they are often powerful lobbyists in government decision-making, ruthless expansionists in the global market and a devastating presence to local businesses.
for china, still more challenges exist. how are we going to ensure a smooth transition from the planned economy to a market-based one? how to construct a legal system that is sound enough and broad enough to respond to the needs of a dynamic society? how to maintain our cultural identity in an increasingly homogeneous world? and how to define greatness in our rise as a peace-loving nation? globalization entails questions that concern us all.
like many young people my age in china, i want to see my country get prosperous and enjoy respect in the international community. but it seems to me that mere patriotism is not just enough. it is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking and broaden our
mind to bigger issues. there might never be easy answers to those issues such as globalization, but to take them on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way. this is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech

at a more practical level, i realized knowing what you are going to say and how you are going to say it are equally important. to take the original ideas out of your head and transplant them, so to speak, to that of others, you need to have an organized mind. this ability improves with training.
yet there should not be any loss or addition or distortion in the process. those ideas that finally find their way into another head need to be recognizably yours. language is a means to transmit information, not a means to obstruct communication. it should be lucid to be penetrating.
in china, certain public speaking skills have been unduly emphasized. will it really help, we are compelled to ask, to bang at the podium or yell at the top of your lungs, if you have come with a poorly organized speech, a muddled mind, and unwillingness to truly share your views?
above all, the single most important thing i learnt was that as a public speaker, you need to pay attention, first and foremost, to the content of your speech. and second, the structure of your speech: how one idea relates and progresses to another.
only after these come delivery and non-verbal communication: speed control, platform manner, and so on. pronunciation is important, yet of greater importance is this: is your language competent enough to express your ideas exactly the way you intend

them to be understood?i was informed afterwards that i was chosen to be the winner for my "appropriately worded speech, excellent presence and quick-witted response". in so remarking, the judges clearly showed their preference: they come to listen for meaningful ideas, not for loose judgments, nor easy contestants failed to address their questions head on. some were able to, but did not know where to stop—the dragging on betrayed their lack of confidence. the root cause was that they did not listen attentively to the questions. or they were thinking of what they had i said in my speech, "it is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking ... to take them [issues like globalization] on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way". we need to respond honestly.
a competition like this draws talented students from all over the country. and of course, i learnt more things than just about public speaking. since in the final analysis, public speaking is all about effective communication. and this goes true for all communications, whatever their setting.

globalization:
opportunities and challenges
for china's younger generation
thirty years ago, american president richard nixon made an epoch-making visit to china, a country still isolated at that time. premier zhou enlai said to him, "your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world—twenty-five years of no
communication". thirty years since, china and america have exchanged many handshakes. the fundamental implication of this example is that the need to communicate across differences in culture and ideology is not only felt by the two countries but by many other nations as well.
as we can see today, environmentalists from different countries are making joint efforts to address the issue of global warming, economists are seeking solutions to financial crises that rage in a particular region but nonetheless cripple the world economy, and politicians and diplomats are getting together to discuss the issue of combating terrorism. peace and prosperity has become a common goal that we are striving for all over the world. underlying this mighty trend of global communication is the echo of e. m. forster's words "only connect!"
with the it revolution, traditional boundaries of human society fall away. our culture, politics, society and commerce are being sloshed into one large melting pot of humanity. in this interlinked world, there are no outsiders, for a disturbance
in one place is likely to impact other parts of the globe. we have begun to realize that a world divided cannot endure.
china is now actively integrating into the world. our recent entry to the wto is a good example. for decades, we have taken pride in being self-reliant, but now we realize the importance of participating in and contributing to a broader economic order. from a precarious role in the world arena to our present wto membership, we have come a long way.
but what does the way ahead look like? in some parts of the world people are demonstrating against globalization. are they justified, then, in criticizing the globalizing world? instead of narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, they say, globalization enables the developed nations to swallow the developing nations' wealth in debts and interest. globalization, they argue, should be about a common interest in every other nation's economic health.
we are reminded by karl marx that capital goes beyond national borders and eludes control from any other entity. this has become a reality. multinational corporations are seeking the lowest cost, the largest market, and the most favourable policy. they are often powerful lobbyists in government decision-making, ruthless
expansionists in the global market and a devastating presence to local businesses.
for china, still more challenges exist. how are we going to ensure a smooth transition from the planned economy to a market-based one? how to construct a legal system that is sound enough and broad enough to respond to the needs of a dynamic society? how to maintain our cultural identity in an increasingly homogeneous world? and how to define greatness in our rise as a peace-loving nation? globalization entails questions that concern us all.
like many young people my age in china, i want to see my country get prosperous and enjoy respect in the international community. but it seems to me that mere patriotism is not just enough. it is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking and broaden our mind to bigger issues. there might never be easy answers to those issues such as globalization, but to take them on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way. this is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech.
第五篇：全國英語演講比賽冠軍得主的演講稿
to me march 28th was a lucky day. it was on that particular evening that i found myself at central stage, in the spotlight. winning the "21st century·ericsson cup" seventh national english speaking competition is a memory that i shall treasure and one that will surely stay.
more important than winning the cup is the friendship that has been established and developed among the contestants, and the chance to communicate offstage in addition to competing onstage. also the competition helps boost public speaking in china, a skill hitherto undervalued.
for me, though, the competition is a more personal experience. habitually shy, i had been reluctant to take part in any such activities. encouraged by my friends, however, i made a last-minute decision to give it a try. in the course of preparation i somehow rediscovered myself, a truer me.
i found that, after all, i like communicating with other people; that exchanging views can be so much fun—and so much rewarding, both emotionally and intellectually; that public speaking is most effective when you are least guarded; and that it is essential to success in every walk of life.
at a more practical level, i realized knowing what you are going to say and how you are going to say it are equally important. to take the original ideas out of your head and transplant them, so to speak, to that of others, you need to have an organized mind. this ability improves with training.
yet there should not be any loss or addition or distortion in the process. those ideas that finally find their waysintosanother head need to be recognizably yours. language is a means to transmit information, not a means to obstruct communication. it should be lucid to be penetrating.
in china, certain public speaking skills have been unduly emphasized. will it really help, we are compelled to ask, to bang at the podium or yell at the top of your lungs, if you have come with a poorly organized speech, a muddled mind, and unwillingness to truly share your views?
above all, the single most important thing i learnt was that as a public speaker, you need to pay attention, first and foremost, to the content of your speech. and second, the structure of your speech: how one idea relates and progresses to another.
only after these come delivery and non-verbal communication: speed control, platform manner, and so on. pronunciation is important, yet of greater importance is this: is your language competent enough to express your ideas exactly the way you intend them to be understood?
i was informed afterwards that i was chosen to be the winner for my "appropriately worded speech, excellent presence and quick-witted response". in so remarking, the judges clearly showed their preference: they come to listen for meaningful ideas, not for loose judgments, nor easy laughters.
some contestants failed to address their questions head on. some were
able to, but did not knowswheresto stop—the dragging on betrayed their lack of confidence. the root cause was that they did not listen attentively to the questions. or they were thinking of what they had prepared.
as i said in my speech, "it is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking …… to take them [issues like globalization] on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way". we need to respond honestly.
a competition like this draws talented students from all over the country. and of course, i learnt more things than just about public speaking. since in the final analysis, public speaking is all about effective communication. and this goes true for all communications, whatever their setting.
