1、第七届全国英语演讲竞赛冠军得主演讲稿演讲范文第七届全国英语演讲竞赛冠军得主演讲稿演讲范文to me march 28th was a lucky day. it was on that particularevening that i found myself at central stage, in thespotlight. winning the 21st centuryericsson cup seventhnational english speaking competition is a memory that i shalltreasure and one that will s
2、urely stay.more important than winning the cup is the friendship that hasbeen established and developed among the contestants, and thechance to communicate offstage in addition to competingonstage. also the competition helps boost public speaking inchina, a skill hitherto undervalued.for me, though,
3、 the competition is a more personal experience.habitually shy, i had been reluctant to take part in any suchactivities. encouraged by my friends, however, i made alast-minute decision to give it a try. in the course ofpreparation i somehow rediscovered myself, a truer me.i found that, after all, i l
4、ike communicating with otherpeople; that exchanging views can be so much funand so muchrewarding, both emotionally and intellectually; that publicspeaking is most effective when you are least guarded; andthat it is essential to success in every walk of life.at a more practical level, i realized know
5、ing what you aregoing to say and how you are going to say it are equallyimportant. to take the original ideas out of your head andtransplant them, so to speak, to that of others, you need tohave an organized mind. this ability improves with training.yet there should not be any loss or addition or di
6、stortion inthe process. those ideas that finally find their way intoanother head need to be recognizably yours. language is ameans to transmit information, not a means to obstructcommunication. it should be lucid to be penetrating.in china, certain public speaking skills have been undulyemphasized.
7、will it really help, we are compelled to ask, tobang at the podium or yell at the top of your lungs, if youhave come with a poorly organized speech, a muddled mind, andunwillingness to truly share your views?above all, the single most important thing i learnt was thatas a public speaker, you need to
8、 pay attention, first andforemost, to the content of your speech. and second, thestructure of your speech: how one idea relates and progressesto another.only after these come delivery and non-verbal communication:speed control, platform manner, and so on. pronunciation isimportant, yet of greater im
9、portance is this: is your languagecompetent enough to express your ideas exactly the way youintend them to be understood?i was informed afterwards that i was chosen to be the winnerfor my appropriately worded speech, excellent presence andquick-witted response. in so remarking, the judges clearlysho
10、wed their preference: they come to listen for meaningfulideas, 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 stopthe draggingon betrayed their lack of confidence. the root cause was thatthey did not
11、 listen attentively to the questions. or they werethinking of what they had prepared.as i said in my speech, it is vitally important that we youngpeople do more serious thinking . to take them issues likeglobalization on and give them honest thinking is the firststep to be prepared for both opportun
12、ities and challengescoming our way. we need to respond honestly.a competition like this draws talented students from all overthe country. and of course, i learnt more things than justabout public speaking. since in thfinal analysis, publicspeaking is all about effective communication. and this goest
13、rue for all communications, whatever their setting.and the following is the final version of my speech:globalization:opportunities and challengesfor chinas younger generationthirty years ago, american president richard nixon made anepoch-making visit to china, a country still isolated at thattime. p
14、remier zhou enlai said to him, your handshake cameover the vastest ocean in the worldtwenty-five years of nocommunication. thirty years since, china and america haveexchanged many handshakes. the fundamental implication of thisexample is that the need to communicate across differences inculture and
15、ideology is not only felt by the two countries butmany other nations as well.as we can see today, environmentalists from differentcountries are making joint efforts to address the issue ofglobal warming, economists are seeking solutions to financialcrises that rage in a particular region but nonethe
16、lesscripple the world economy, and politicians and diplomats aregetting together to discuss the issue of combating terrorism.peace and prosperity has become a common goal that we arestriving for all over the world. underlying this mighty trendof global communication is the echo of e. m. forsters wor
17、dsonly connect!with the it revolution, traditional boundaries of humansociety fall away. our culture, politics, society and commerceare being sloshed into one large melting pot of humanity. inthis interlinked world, there are no outsiders, for adisturbance in one place is likely to impact other part
18、s ofthe globe. we have begun to realize that a world dividedcannot endure.china is now actively integrating into the world. our recententry to the wto is a good example. for decades, we have takenpride in being self-reliant, but now we realize the importanceof participating in and contributing to a
19、broader economicorder. from a precarious role in the world arena to ourpresent wto membership, we have come a long way.but what does the way ahead look like? in some parts of theworld people are demonstrating against globalization. are theyjustified, then, in criticizing the globalizing world? inste
20、adof narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, they say,globalization enables the developed nations to swallow thedeveloping nations wealth in debts and interest.globalization, they argue, should be about a common interestin every other nations economic health.we are reminded by karl marx tha
21、t capital goes beyond nationalborders and eludes control from any other entity. this hasbecome a reality. multinational corporations are seeking thelowest cost, the largest market, and the most favourablepolicy. they are often powerful lobbyists in governmentdecision-making, ruthless expansionists i
22、n the global marketand a devastating presence to local businesses.for china, still more challenges exist. how are we going toensure a smooth transition from the planned economy to amarket-based one? how to construct a legal system that issound enough and broad enough to respond to the needs of adyna
23、mic society? how to maintain our cultural identity in anincreasingly homogeneous world? and how to define greatness inour rise as a peace-loving nation? globalization entailsquestions that concern us all.like many young people my age in china, i want to see mycountry get prosperous and enjoy respect
24、 in te internationalcommunity. but it seems to me that mere patriotism is not justenough. it is vitally important that we young people do moreserious thinking and broaden our mind to bigger issues. theremight never be easy answers to those issues such asglobalization, but to take them on and give th
