Make a three-minute speech based on the video.Please give your speech a title.Huize said to Zhuangzi :“the prince of Wei gave me a seed of a large kind of gourd.I planted it, and it bore fruit as big as a five bushel measure.Now had I used this for holding liquids, it would have been too heavy to lift;and had I cut it in half for ladles, the ladles would have been too flat for such purpose.Certainly it was a huge thing, but I had no use for it and so broke it up.” “It was rather you did not know how to use large things!Now as to your five-bushel gourd, why did you not make a float of it, and float about over river and lake? And you complain of its being too flat for holding things!I fear your mind is stuffy inside.”

2015年外研社杯英语演讲大赛
题目是一段视频主要内容是：
惠子谓庄子曰：“魏王贻我大瓠之种，我树之成，而实五石。以盛水浆，其坚不能自举也。剖之以为瓢，则瓠落无所容。非不呺然大也，吾为其无用而掊之。”庄子曰：“夫子固拙于用大矣。宋人有善为不龟手之药者，世世以洴澼絖为事。客闻之，请买其方百金。聚族而谋曰：‘我世世为洴澼絖，不过数金，今一朝而鬻技百金，请与之。’客得之，以说吴王。越有难，吴王使之将，冬，与越人水战，大败越人。裂地而封之。能不龟手一也，或以封，或不免于洴澼絖，则所用之异也。今子有五石之瓠，何不虑以为大樽，而浮于江湖，而忧其瓠落无所容？则夫子犹有蓬之心也夫！”
白话文翻译是：
惠子对 庄子说：“魏王送我大葫芦种子，我将它培植起来后，结出的果实有五石容积。用大葫芦去盛水浆，可是它的坚固程度承受不了水的压力。把它剖开做瓢，但它又平又浅的，装不了什么东西。这个葫芦不是不大呀，我因为它没有什么用处而砸烂了它。”庄子说：“先生实在是不善于使用大东西啊！宋国有一善于调制不皲手药物的人家，世世代代以漂洗丝絮为职业。有个游客听说了这件事，愿意用百金的高价收买他的药方。全家人聚集在一起商量：‘我们世世代代在河水里漂洗丝絮，所得不过数金，如今一下子就可卖得百金。还是把药方卖给他吧。’游客得到药方，来游说吴王。正巧 越国发难，吴王派他统率部队，冬天跟越军在水上交战，大败越军，吴王划割土地封赏他。能使手不皲裂，药方是同样的，有的人用它来获得封赏，有的人却只能靠它在水中漂洗丝絮，这是使用的方法不同。如今你有五石容积的大葫芦，怎么不考虑用它来制成腰舟，而浮游于江湖之上，却担忧葫芦太大无处可容？看来先生你还是心窍不通啊！”
我写的演讲稿：（演讲时间为2-3分钟）
Good afternoon , my respected teachers and judges, my name is yangqi.It’s my great honour to stand here to give my speech.The title of my speech is “Try to find out the best value of everything”.I believe that we all have watched the video.In this video Huize told Zhuangze that he ha a large kind of big gourd but he found it useless.So he broke it up.After hearing these comments, Zhuangze said “I’m afraid that you mind is stuffy inside”.This video shows that everything has its own value.What counts is whether it can be found out the best value.In our life we think that many things are not valuable, so we ignored them in many ways.But this is not the case.Such as lag spike, although it is very small and common, it has very important effect on many things.God closes a door for you and a window will be opened for you.Everyone has their own strength and weakness.The important thing is that we need to find out the best value of us.If Luxun wouldn’t give up the job of doctor, he maybe could not make a great contribution to our society.Everyone has their own different value.As the saying goes, your attitude decides everything.It’s unnecessary to admire others all the time.Keep it in mind, you yourself are a spectacle and you are unique in the world.It’s your duty to lead a bright future and make a difference.Take action now and try to find out the best value of everything.I believe you can make it.Thank you for your listening.

第五篇：2010年“外研社”杯全国英语演讲大赛
“赠人玫瑰，手有余香”
——2010外研社杯英语演讲比赛（福建决赛）志愿者陈静娴感悟 提笔写起本次大赛中志愿者经历带给我的感悟，赛场中忙碌的情景便又浮现在眼前。晨曦中那一个个奔忙的白色身影，胸前小小的工作牌赋予我们的是大大的荣誉。虽然是一整天的忙碌，但在我们心里，这种感觉是幸福的。作为东道主，我们很骄傲能借这份志愿服务工作，为大赛的举办贡献自己的一份力量。都说夏花之烂漫，秋叶之静美不及志愿者们的微笑美丽暖人，因而我希望我们的笑容能成为厦门理工学院最好的名片。
从赛场到休息室，随处都能看到厦门理工学院学生英语发展中心的志愿者们默默奉献的身影。当选手们在讲台上自由地发挥他们的演讲技巧的时候，当精彩的比赛激烈地进行着的时候，我们其实也很想一睹选手的风采，也想坐在观众席上为选手们加油打气，但是我们明白作为一名志愿者就要做出一些牺牲，当选手们对我们说“辛苦了”的时候，我们总是答道：“没什么”。如此朴实的一句话，却很好的诠释了我们志愿者的精神。
我作为现场的机动人员，虽然是随时补缺的角色，但那些不值一提的小事总是需要有人去做的。而选手们恰恰是在这些单调的重复和微不足道的渺小中，理解了我们志愿者不可忽视的集体力量。当看到选手们投来感激的目光时，我便回以一如地中海的阳光般灿烂的笑容。虽然本次大赛的时间很短暂，但对我的内心
却是一次洗礼，我真正感受到志愿者那种全心付出，为他人服务而不求回报的心境。我们的工作又累又苦是真，但是心底的那份充盈和满足感是任何东西都无法替代的。都说付出是快乐的源泉，因而我们嘴角的笑意总是很自然地从心底流出。我突然感悟到：如果我们做每一件事都带着认真负责的态度，带着一份发自内心的关爱，即使在平凡琐碎的工作中，我们也能找到快乐。“赠人玫瑰，手有余香”，毫无功利的需求，唯有满足后的平静与快乐。
这场盛宴，对我们志愿者而言是一次前路美好的启程，这一路上承载着用最真诚的服务书写理工文化的每一个人。
或许，再多的赞誉都无法概括出全体志愿者们付出的辛勤与汗水，但那些带着笑意离去的身影会告诉人们，我们曾经怎样走过。
