第七屆全國英語演講比賽冠軍得主演講稿 標籤:奧巴馬開學演講

  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 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 laughters.    Some 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 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 th
