recently, the liberal education project at zhongshan university has attracted great attention. the 35 freshmen taking part in this project will follow a general curriculum providing broad learning in multiple disciplines rather than the usual in depth study of one particular major. they may benefit a great deal by broadening their knowledge, but will they lose out when it comes to job hunting in four years’ time? give your opinion about this liberal education project.
honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen! i’m happy to have the chance to speak here. i would like to share my opinion with you on the topic “the liberal education project at zhongshan university.”
recently, this liberal education project has attracted great attention all over china. some people believe the project will benefit the students involved greatly. however, others raise their eyebrows because they fear that the students will lose out in the job market. in my opinion, this project should be regarded as a blessing rather than a curse. there are tow arguments i would like to make to support my point of view.
firstly, attending the project, the students lay a solid foundation for their further study and research. as the chinese saying goes “there is no separation among liberal arts, history and philosophy.” only when students comprehensively study all three subjects, could they obtain a solid foundation for their future accomplishments in the study of human science. i remember, one of my friends majored in liberal arts and minored in history as an undergraduate student. however, after four year’s study, he found he was especially interested in medieval history, which he specialized in later for his master’s degree. recently, he confided to me that he feels he is at a disadvantage in pursuing his further studies because he has not studied philosophy as an undergraduate student and philosophy, particularly historical materialism is one of the key tools for analyzing past events. therefore i believe, as dose he, that if he had taken part in this project, he would have benefited enormously.
secondly, the project provides the students with an edge for competing in the job market. nowadays, to be recruited by a well-known company, university students have to pass many rounds of tests and interviews, which aim at testing students’ all-round abilities. therefore, i firmly believe, the students, who have extensively studied liberal arts, history and philosophy, will stand out in the tests and attract the attention of any employer. in the modern world, companies need their employees to be versatile, to keep pace with the rapid change of business. so, with their interdisciplinary educational background, the graduates from the project will soon become extremely competent employees capable of tackling any issue that may occur in their future career.
in conclusion, i would say, taking part in the project will provide the students with a better academic life and career prospects. it is my belief that we should view the project as a beneficial and encouraging educational reform.
thank you for your time.

china’s greatest contribution to global harmony and prosperity over the next 25
years
honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen, it is my great pleasure to speak here today. i would like to share my opinion with you on the topic china’s greatest contribution to global economy and harmony over the next 25 years.
when i saw this topic for the first time, one thing flashed into my mind was a song called “chinese language” which is sung by a famous female band and in this song, there is one sentence in its lyrics, like, “all the world is leaning chinese”. therefore i want to say, the essence of china’s long history, chinese culture will exert a very influential effect to global harmony and prosperity over the next 25 years. i would like to divide chinese culture into three levels, chinese language, chinese educational theory and chinese traditions.
firstly, chinese language will contribute enormously to the prosperity of the world’s economy. a few months ago, i went to beijing with my girlfriend to have a sightseeing there. in the airplane flying to beijing, i encountered a foreign student from germany and he studied chinese as a postgraduate student in dalian northeast financial and economic university. we talked a lot, in chinese, related to her life in dalian, her major and even chinese phonetic symbols. when i asked her why did you decide to study chinese in this country, she told me that when she was an undergraduate student, her major was international trade and because china had become a big economy in the world, it would be very important to learn chinese to be a businessperson in the future. therefore, i believe, due to china’s economic status in the world, chinese language would become a very important factor for the world’s economic prosperity.
secondly, chinese educational theory is one of the most effective means to create harmonious relationship between human beings. china has a very long history and china’s educational theory has benefited chinese people enormously. i would like to take confucius as an example. confucius emphasized a lot on the harmonious relations between people. he even thought the relationship between teachers and students should be as good as the relationship between father and son. therefore, even many years after he died, his students still compiled “lunyu” the most famous book derived from confucius’ quotations. so i would say if china’s educational theory could be accepted by the world, it will benefited the world’s harmonious relationship between human beings greatly
thirdly, chinese tradition will provide an extremely positive effect to form a harmonious character of human beings. i would like to take myself as an example. when i was yang, i did not have a pretty handwriting and i often lost temper to my friends. so, my parent decided to let me study calligraphy. in the first few days, i experienced a lot of failures and committed some mistakes. however, i gradually learnt to be patient and my handwriting also became better. therefore, i would say if chinese tradition could be accepted by the world gradually, it will benefit the world
greatly for forming human being’s sound and harmonious character.
in conclusion, china’s culture, especially chinese language, chinese educational theory and chinese tradition, will contribute greatly to the world’s prosperity and harmony.
thank you for your time.
2014年大连市第十五届“枫叶杯”英语演讲比赛成人组5号选手演讲文字稿
第一部分:即兴演讲。上场前30分钟现场抽提,30分钟准备后上台演讲(3-4分钟)。
题目:
will chinese people’s increase of living standards contribute to the establishment of a bridge between west and east?
中国人民生活水平的提高是否有利于在东西方之间构建起一座桥梁?
演讲内容(语法及词汇错误已修订):
honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen! i am happy to have the chance to speak here. today, i would like to share my opinion with you on the topic “will chinese people’s increase of living standards promote the establishment of a bridge between the west and east?”
尊敬的评委,女士们先生们!很高兴能有机会在这里进行演讲,今天,我想就“中国人民生活水平的提高是否有利于在东西方之间构建起一座桥梁?”这一主题,与大家分享我的观点。
when i saw this topic for the first time, one thing that flashed in my mind is the fact that many confucius institutions have been opened up all around the world. therefore i firmly believe that the increase of chinese people’s financial well-being will contribute a lot to the establishment of the bridge between the west and east. there are three arguments i would like to make to support my point of view.
当我第一眼看到这个题目的时候,首先在我脑海里浮现的情景是:中国已经在世界各地建立起了许多孔子学院。因此我坚信,中国人民生活水平的提高非常有利于在东西方之间构建起一座桥梁。我想从三个方面进行论述,以支持我的观点。
firstly, i would like to say, the increasing of chinese people’s financial well-being will give an opportunity to the people from the west and east to communicate with each other. i would like to take myself as an example. when i graduated from my university, i met a foreigner as a foreign teacher in a school and from that time on, we become very good friends. and even now, he has already come back to his native country. we still keep touch with each other and the way for us to keep touch is by phone. so, i would like to say, if there were no increasing of chinese people’s financial well-being, i would have no chance to talk to such a person and have such a good friend.
首先,我想说,中国人民生活水平的提高为东西方人民的相互沟通提供了一个机会。我想以我自己为例来进行说明。当我大学毕业的时候,我结识了一位在学校教书的外教。从那时起,我们成为了要好的朋友。时至今天,虽然他已经返回本国,我们仍然保持着联系,而我们保持联系的方式就是电话沟通。因此,我想说,如果中国人民的生活水平没有提高,我也就不会有机会与他沟通,也就没有机会与他成为非常好朋友。
and secondly, i want to say, with the development of chinese people’s financial well-being, the culture of the two countries of the west and east will communicate a lot. like i said, these days, a lot of confucius institutions have been opened up all around the world and a lot of foreigners want to learn chinese. i knew a foreigner when, a few days ago, i came to beijing with my girl friend to have a tour. and that foreigner was a student in one of dalian’s universities to learn chinese. his chinese was really fantastic. the reason why he wanted to spend a lot of time in studying chinese is because he thinks in the future chinese people will be more wealthy and there would be a very good chance for him to earn money from china. and therefore i would say the increasing of chinese people’s financial well-being indeed gives an edge for chinese people to exchange cultures with other people from other countries.
其次,我想说,随着中国人民生活水平的提高,东西方两国的文化进行了良好的交流。正如我所说的,近些年中国已在世界各地建立起了许多孔子学院,有许多外国人学习中国文化。几天前,我和女友去北京旅游的时候结识了一位外国朋友。这位外国朋友是在大连一所大学学习汉语的留学生。他的汉语非常的流利。他之所以想要花费大量的时间学习中文,是因为他认为,将来中国人民将会更加富裕,而对于他来说,想从中国赚钱,这是一个非常好的机会。因此,我想说中国人民生活水平的提高为中国人民与世界其他国家的人民进行交流提供了优势。
and thirdly, i want to say, with the increasing of chinese people’s status, chinese government has to communicate with the outside world to buy things to meet the need of chinese people, such as airplane. with the development of chinese economy, more and more people are rich and have the ability to go to someplace by plane and chinese government have to contact the american government to get the support of its factory to get planes.
再次,我想说随着中国人民生活水平的提高,中国政府必须与其他国家进行沟通,以购买产品,比如飞机,来满足中国人民的需求。随着中国经济的发展,越来越多的人们变得富有,因而由能力乘坐飞机旅行,为此中国政府必须与美国政府进行沟通,以获得美国飞机制造厂的支持来购买飞机。
so, in conclusion, i would say, the increase of chinese people’s financial status will increase the opportunity for the exchange between people, the culture and the relationship between the governments.
总之,我想说中国人民生活水平的提高,将会增强政府间的关系,也会增加人们之间进行交流的机会和文化之间进行交流的机会。
thank you!
谢谢!
第二部分:现场提问。台下评委根据演讲内容进行现场提问(一分钟)。
judge:your arguments are interesting. however i would like to ask you to extend it a little. how would you better balance the income levels within china?
评委:你的论点非常有意思。但是我想让你对它进行一点扩展。你如何平衡在中国存在的收入等级之间的差距?
contestant:i beg your pardon?
选手:请您再说一遍?
judge:how would you balance or distribute the income between chinese people? 评委:你如何平衡或者说分配不同中国人之间的收入差距?
contestant:you mean some chinese people are rich and (judge:very rich) some chinese people are poor (judge:very poor).
选手:你是说有些中国人很富有(评委:非常富有)而有些中国人很穷(评委:非常穷)。
judge:how would you make that more equal?
评委:你怎么来对它进行平衡呢?
contestant:
选手:
thanks for your question.
感谢您的问题。
i think this is a reality for all of the societies in the world. and one thing i think chinese people should do is chinese government should play a role to promote the people in the poor condition to have more chances to have a good job.
我想这是一个任何国家都需要面对的现实。我认为中国人民首先要做的就是,中国政府应当发挥作用,让处于贫苦条件的人们有机会获得好的工作。
and secondly, the chinese government should also pay more money to establish more educational institutions to educate the people who would not have too much knowledge to learn new things to have more opportunities to find a good job.
其次,中国政府应加大投资以兴建更多的教育机构,以使那些没有受过良好教育的人们去学习新的技能以获得机会找到好的工作。
and thirdly, i also want to say, chinese government should also use its tax method to levy more tax on the richer generation or the richer level to make the poor level have more money.
再次,我还想说,中国政府应当使用它的税收政策,对富有的一代或富有的阶层征收更多的税款,而使贫穷的阶层有更多的收入。
that is my answer.
这就是我的答案。

即兴演讲是指演讲者在事先没有准备或者没有充分准备的情况下进行的临时性演讲。即兴演讲除了需要多方面的知识素养外,还需要敏捷的思维能力,快速的语言表达能力以及应变能力。在英语演讲比赛中,即兴演讲部分是最具有挑战性的部分,也最能体现参赛者的真实英语水平。本文将通过分析历届“21世纪杯”全国大学生英语演讲比赛中优秀选手的即兴演讲,分析优秀演讲者需要掌握的语言表达及应变方法,提出在英语即兴演讲中需要注意的事项及应对方法,以期为选手提供建议和帮助。
1.方法
1.1结构
对于议论文形式的即兴演讲话题来说,不能够随性而为,一般要求演讲者思路清晰,在即兴演讲前必须构建好演讲的整个框架结构。优秀的选手通常采用总—分一总的结构,即提出论点——支持论点——总结论点。现以第十一届全国英语演讲比赛冠军曹丰的即兴演讲话题为例,他的题目是:nowinthe age oftheinternet,readingbooks does not seem∞important a8 it once was.do you think people call learn as much on the interuetas they can by reading books?which method do you prefer?他是这样开头的:“actually.i don’t agreewiththefirst sentence ofthistopic:‘intheage ofthe intemet,reading books is not a8 important as it was once”’.接下来分析原因,最后做出总结:“sointhisage ofinteruet,inthis age ofmodern—ization,in this age of civilization,why do you have to force someone to choosebetween]nternetandbooks?ipreferusingboth ofthem.”
1.2开头
瑞士作家温克勒说:“开场白有二项任务:一是建立说者与听者的同感;二是如字义所释,打开场面,引入正题。”总的来说,开头应简短并能抓住听众的兴趣。开头一般有以下几种方法。
1.2.1开门见山,直切主题
这种开场的方式单刀直入,能够直奔演讲主题,通过简洁的语言,开门见山,直切主题能迅速吸引听众的注意。
1.2.2设问式
演讲者一开始就提出一个或几个令人出乎意料的问题,能够迅速地唤起听众的兴趣和注意力,引发人们的深思,自然地激发听众的参与意识,缩短与听众的距离。采用设问开头的方式,关键在于问题要提得好,提得恰当。提问的信息要与后面阐述的问题联系紧密,能巧妙而自然地引出演讲的主体内容。第三届全国英语演讲比赛冠军梁励敏在演讲“are buses better than cars?”时这样开头:is not owning aprivate eara dreamthat is deeply rooted in any chinese for years time?isn’t it true that in devel—oped countries,ears have already become all indispensable part of everyone’slife?i think we are all familiar with the scene in the western movies when thewhole family goes out on a car trip.when the parents sit at the front and thechildren at the back.and isn’t that indeed avery harmonious picture?这一连串的发问能紧紧抓住听众。
1.2.3引用式
在演讲的开始引用名人名言、诗句等,以提出问题或论证自己的观点。例如第十二届全国英语演讲比赛冠军的即兴演讲是这样开头的:“when i am dead,my dearest,sing no sad songs for me.plant thou no roses at my head,no shady cypretree.be the green graabove mewith showers and dewdrops wet.and,if thou wilt,remember.and,if thou wilt,forget.’’她引用这首诗来说明“死亡并不恐怖,对于很多人来说死亡是美好的”。
1.2.4讲述故事法
以一个故事,一则新闻或自己的一次经历引出演讲的主题,容易吸引听众的注意力,激发听众的兴趣。用故事开头,需要做到叙事简明扼要,所用事例要有针对性,所叙事情要与中心论题密切相关。最后还要回到主题上来,对所述故事进行升华j如第十二届全国英语演讲比赛季军杨赫在即兴演讲“what is self-esteem?how should you improve yourself-esteem?”中这样说到:“in traditional chinese classics,there was a man,who was starved to death who still refused to take the food that was offered tohim,using some rude words.in modern w÷stem literature,there is a woman,named jane eyre,who refused to marry edward rochester,when he lookeddown upon her.what do they have in common?why do we respect them somuch?that is because of their strong self-esteem.’’
1.3结尾
俗话说“编筐编篓,重在收口;描龙画风,难在点睛”。演讲的结尾,就是演讲的“收口”、“点睛”。好的结尾除了能揭示题旨、加深认识,给听众留下完整深刻的印象外还能使整个演讲通篇浑然一体;另外好的结尾能够鼓动激-情、促人深思、令人觉醒,能让听众在反复回味中受到教育和启发。结尾的主要方法有以下几种方式。
1.3.1总结
总结法就是以简洁的语言扼要地概括前面所讲述的内容,以便给听众留下一个完整、清晰而深刻的印象。这种结尾能够概括和点化主旨,起到提醒、强调的作用。大多数选手在即兴演讲时都是以这种方式结尾的。第十二届全国英语演讲比赛第四名黎志敏演讲时这样结尾“in conclusion.1 want to say that we only have one earth and we should spareno effort to make our earth a better place and to steer our earth forthe better.”
1.3.2发出号召,促人行动
这种方式以强烈的情感,听众提出希望,以达到鼓舞斗志,促其行动的目的。第十二届全国英语演讲比赛第九名邓凯琪在演讲“the mainbenefits and problems of globalization”时这样结尾“ladies and gentlemen,don’t let globalization affect how you see our culture.but then use this opportunity,use this chance to treasure our culture even more,because it is facingthe challenges of globalization.”这种结尾的方式是演讲者用深刻的认识和独到的见解向听众提希望、发号召,能使听众,精神为之一振,具有动人情、促人行的作用。
1.3.3巧引名言,让人回味
通过引用名言、警句、谚语、格言、诗句等作为结尾,不仅使语言表达得精炼、生动、富有节奏和韵律,而且还可以使演讲的内容丰富充实,具有启发性并增加感召力。第十三届全国英语演讲比赛第六名孙怡在演讲“share with us your understanding of‘either you’re somebody or youain’t nobody”’时这样结尾“1 want to end my speech with one of michaeljordan’s famous words.it s not how hard you push yourselfor your way;it'8something in you.you think you have to finish it.”用名言式结尾,能给演讲者的思想提供有力的证明增加演讲的可信度,显得更加优美、含蓄,睿智大气,具有较强的说服力和鼓舞作用。
1.3.4以问作结,启发思考
以问句结尾有两种表现形式,一是提出问题引人深思,二是以反问的方式作总结。第九届全国英语演讲比赛冠军洪哗在演讲“should therebe limits on how we display our love in public?what do you think is the bestway to expreyour feelings in public?”时这样结尾:“and the best scene inmy mind to show our love in public,is that we lay on the graland in mycampus,and i read a part of jane eyre to him,and he read a part of olivertwist to me.don’t you think it is a romantic scene for the young lovers toshow their love to each other?”
1_3.5临场应变
第七届全国英语演讲比赛“最具潜力选手奖”获得者张勇被问及“should cohege students be allowed to get married?”时,这样答道:“thankyou for your question and i think it’s really a good question to show how fast the society is developing.istill remember that last year the contestant number twenty-four,also today’shost,were asked about a question that what qualities you look for in aboyfriend.and only a year later here iⅲasked:should college students beallowed to get married?i think the society is really developing.”他的随机应变带来的幽默博得了阵阵掌声与笑声。
另一位选手在回答“传统好还是现代科技好”时,他表示传统更好。正巧这时话筒架出问题了,男主持人只得为那名选手举着话筒让他发言。选手见状立即补充一句:“这充分说明传统更加可靠”。他的机敏回答也得到了评委和观众的认可。
2.准备
中国有句古语:“熟读唐诗三百首,不会吟诗也会吟。”这充分说明了先有输入,才可能输出。即兴演讲虽然是即兴而发,却与平时的积累息息相关。
2.1词汇和句子量的积累
演讲者必须积累一定的词汇量,这样就不会在拿到即兴演讲题目之后因为不认识其中某个单词而导致全军覆没,或者在反复表达同一个内容上由于词汇贫乏而使用同一个单词,使人产生厌倦的感觉。例如形容一个人生气、愤怒,避免重复使用angry,可以用be pissed off,beburned up等词来替换。又如在表达“喜欢”的时候,可以用be keen on,be into,be mad about,be passionate about,be fond of,be partial to等来替换like和love.其次,还要积累各个方面的相关词汇。例如:当谈到环境问题,可能会用到土流失、沙漠化、排放物、可持续发展等等,这就需要掌握它们的英语表达(water loand soil erosion,desertification,emission,sustainable development)。谈到如何解决交通问题时,高架桥、地铁、轻轨、行人、交通规则、遵守、高峰时间等这些词汇也是必不可少的(viaduct,metro,light rail,pedestrian,traffic regulation,abide by,rush hour)。再次,背诵一些实用的句型。在“表达越来越多的人意识到..时”,可以采用“thereis agrowing awarenessthat.”这比起我们常用的“moreand more people realize that.”要好的多。此外,谚语和格言的积累也是十分必要的。学生如果能够每天记忆三两句谚语,长期坚持,烂熟于胸,定能由量变上升到质变,在特定的语言环境中会脱口而出,收到贴切、生动、幽默、风趣等意想不到的语言效果。
2.2材料的积累
演讲者需要在平时就能深入观察生活、积极参与生活,及时记录生活中的见闻。积极了解日常生活知识、风土人情、地理环境能使选手在短暂的准备时间内从脑海中找到生动的例证和恰当的词汇,使即兴演讲增添魅力。
2.3思想方面的积累
通常当演讲题目是演讲者感兴趣或者熟悉的话题时,演讲者一般不会感到困难,大都能较好地扣题展开,而且讲得有声有色。可是如果演讲者从未涉及过此类话题,突然让他们发表2分钟演讲,他们往往觉得无话可说。因此,在平时的训练中,演讲者的演讲话题必须涉及到各个领域。道格拉斯·费班克曾在《美国杂志》上发表一篇文章,叙述一种益智游戏,他和查理·卓别林,玛丽·皮克福几乎每晚都玩,共玩了两年。这种游戏就是演说术里最困难的一种练习方式,站着思考,每人各在一张小纸条上写下一个题目,并立刻站起来就那个题目说上六十秒钟,同一题目不能重复。从他们开始玩这个游戏以来,三人都机敏了许多。对于各式各样的题目他们也有更多的了解。比这更为有用的是,他们都学会了在瞬间里能就任何题目即时凝聚自己的知识和思想。演讲者很有必要使用这种方法经常练习,这不仅能够扩展自己的思维,而且能养成平时深入思考的习惯,对于演讲者大有裨益。
3.结语
掌握了上述演讲方法和技巧,演讲者便可以更好的确立即兴演讲结构和内容,才能在演讲中有更好的发挥。另外打好的坚实的语言基础才是演讲的关键,两者兼备才能够在实战中取得优异的成绩。
