【精彩讲稿】The Importance of Being Different—Be Different from Yourself!

武汉大学 陈东
Nowadays, people all over the world, at least in this house, seem to be emphasizing the importance of being different from others.They say that to be different from others makes you stand out, wins you an edge, brings you more chances and so on.I believe this is totally true.But we might have overlooked another kind of being different, that is, to be different from yourself.I suppose to be different from the inside is even more important than to be different from the outside.It is because trying to be different from yourself directly results in essential improvement inside you whereas the efforts to be distinct from others might stay in the superficial level.I would like to give a story to illustrate.I guess lots of you are using Nokia mobile phones, a famous brand from Finland.But I dare say not many of you know how these phones came into being.Actually, when I was visiting Helsinki University in Finland, a Finnish friend told me that Nokia was once a company engaged in making boots.And one day, when the highest leaders were discussing how to strengthen their company, one of them said “Let’s make something different!” And then, they began to make phones.Today, Nokia is well-known throughout the world for its phones but not for its boots.I think without making such a difference from itself, Nokia would never be so successful.To sum up, I would say that to be different from yourself is more important than to be different from others.As long as we concentrate on improving ourselves and transcend ourselves, we would not be the same and cannot be the same as others.Excellence will make you stand out saliently!Thank you.Comments:
The speaker has conveyed his idea about the topic “being different from yourself” very successfully.The angle he chooses to discuss the topic is refreshing.Instead of talking routinely about being different from others, he chooses to emphasize that being different from yourself is more challenging to oneself and doing so can contribute to humanity.He also further strengthens his point of being different from yourself by saying that being different from inside is more important than being different from the outside.This is a very enlightening idea which makes the audience interested and want to listen on.The example of Nokia being different from itself, from
a boots making company to a mobile-phone making one is convincing and illuminating since Nokia enjoys popularity among Chinese people.The speaker speaks with comfort and confidence.He maintains a proper speed of speaking and this enables a full understanding for the audience, who are led by and eventually convinced by him.He has got good pronunciation, intonation and good control of pauses while he is speaking.He smiles towards the audience and maintains close eye contact with them.The speaker uses gestures during his speech.Some gestures are properly used though some sometimes seem to be a bit awkward.The suit Chen Dong wears seems to be one size larger so it hangs a bit loose on him.Except these less than satisfactory aspects, that is, some improper gestures and the loose suit, the speaker has extinguished himself from the other speakers in the aspects of content, the organization and delivery of a speech.A very convincing and competent speaker!

【精彩讲稿】A Word That Has Changed the World

Ladies and gentlemen,It is an art of language: Once it helped to spread the evil fire of Fascism but also soothed the pain of World War II;it helped to stir racial discrimination but also brought us the dream of equality;it claimed the division of a nation but also held the two parts together.So what am I talking about? Not guns, not bombs, not nuclear power.I’m talking about speech--a word that has changed the world.Speech has changed the world at different times.From these speeches, we sucked the meadow of wisdom, and gained our faith and courage.The world has become a different place because of these speeches.When the whole Britain
was facing the awe-struck world during World War II, Winston Churchill firmly claimed, “We are still masters of our fate.We are still captains of our souls!” And by his speech, the British people were greatly inspired and kept on fighting until totally beating Hitler.When the federate army was at the dawn of their victory at Gettysburg, Abraham Lincoln uttered, “Government of the people, by the people and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” And this line is still being frequently quoted even today.When Nelson Mandela finished serving 27 years of prison time, he was still hopeful and told the world, “That the greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” And his speech has passed the spirit of freedom to the whole South Africa.So why can speech change the world? Ralf Emerson once said, “Speech is power: speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel.” The power of speech, unlike the power of weapons, works to give people hope over despair, passion over indifference and positivity over negativity.And that is why speech has changed the world.At a[ a应改为the。] time of Great Depression, Roosevelt spoke to assure his people a bright future.At a[ 同上。] time of racial discrimination, Martin Luther King claimed “I Have a Dream” and inspired millions of African Americans.A great speech shares the best of minds to the mass of people.And when the mass of people receive that wisdom, huge differences are going to be made, differences that may shape the history of a country and influence the world.Ladies and gentlemen, as a saying goes, “Words create worlds”, speech has changed the world by words and the greatness the words carry.Speech has changed the results of wars, the idea of millions, the wheel of history and it has undoubtedly changed the world.Thank you!
Comments:
This is a very good speech.It is well structured, logically written and effectively delivered.The opening comments are intriguing, or would have been more so if the word ‘speech’ had not appeared in the title.The development is very well explained with examples of speeches at famous points in history.The speaker cleverly chose examples of speeches that are so well known, he didn’t have to explain them in any detail.Had he had to do so, it would have slowed the rhythm of his argument and taken up too much time.He did rather ignore his own point that a speech can also stir people to negative and destructive action, such as racial discrimination.It would have been a helpful example of how a speech can stir racial discrimination if he had mentioned how Hitler, another great orator, had stirred the German nation up against the Jews.He chose to concentrate on the positive outcomes of great oratory so perhaps should not have mentioned the negative or at least should have argued that the positive has generally outweighed the negative.His vocabulary is excellent and he uses some interesting phrases that cleverly produce word pictures in the minds of his audience.For example, “we sucked the meadow of wisdom” and “A great speech shares the best of minds to the mass of people.” This use of language helps to bring the ideas in a speech alive.His delivery is also very good.He has a strong voice, speaks at a comfortable pace, uses pauses and emphasis extremely well, and he does not harangue or shout but makes his belief and passion clear.This does not mean that all speakers should try to speak in this way.We all have different types of voice and to use such a strong voice when speaking about a more sensitive topic may not be so effective.His pronunciation and enunciation are excellent.His eye contact is quite good, although he could look a little longer into the eyes of some of his audience.His gestures are natural and the final wide stretch of his arms to encompass the audience and the world very effective.By Sue Kay

【精彩讲稿】Olympian and Paralympian,Man and Superman

西南交通大学 张瑞婷
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.Usually we give the name “superman” to someone who performs outstandingly in some aspect in life.In this case, people like to compare different athletes.Often they will regard the Olympians as the men, and Paralympians as the supermen, or the other way round.But I think before we draw a definite conclusion, let me tell you a story about a man who’s all the four titles mentioned in this speech.I’m sure you’ve all heard of his famous book A Brief History of Time.When the author of this book, Stephen Hawking, found out that he had gotten
the ALS disease, he was told that he had no more than a few years to live.But he didn’t give up hope, he didn’t wait for his death, and he didn’t surrender to the illness.Instead, he picked up his notes and began researching.He chose to devote his time to science and discovery.He chose to not think about his condition, or regret the things it prevents[ it prevents应改为 that prevent。] him from doing, and a miracle happened: he still lives[ lives应改为alive。].He is left permanently disabled, but somehow he is enjoying his life more than ever and now he is one of the greatest scientists in the world.Ladies and gentlemen, he created a miracle because of his strong determination and willpower.And not only did he benefit himself, but he also brought great contribution to the entire human race.There is[ is应改为are。] a lot we can learn from him, from this man who never gave up hope, from a man with an Olympian’s mind and a Paralympian’s body, an ordinary man who became a superman.Thank you very much!
Comments:
The speaker is very persuasive while she is presenting her understanding of Olympian and Paralympian, Man and Superman”, a very complicated issue.She uses the life story of Stephen Hawking, the author of the book A Brief History of Time as an example to show that people with Olympian spirit, yet Paralympian’s physical condition can still achieve a lot and contribute to the development of human society.Since Stephen Hawking is well known all over the world, this real life example enables the audience to get her point very directly and clearly.The whole speech is well cut, with one part devoted to the explanation of what men and supermen may mean.Just as she has explained in her speech, she points out that “Olympians as the men and Paralympians as the supermen”.Then other two parts of the speech contain a description to prove her definition and her restatement of her point of view.The clear organization of the speech enables the audience follows her closely and inevitably become convinced.The speaker speaks with confidence and the delivery is smooth.She has got very clear pronunciation and proper intonation.The only problem is that her voice is a bit low and thin.By Fan Weiwei

长大后我就成了你
朋友,你喜欢听《长大后我就成了你》这首歌吗?这首歌曾经传遍神州大地,唱响了几十年,至今仍然深受人们的喜爱。她不仅是因为它曲调悠扬,旋律动听,更重要的是它表现了人民教师无私奉献的情怀。
泰戈尔在诗中写道:“花的事业是甜蜜的,果的事业是珍贵的,让我干叶的事业吧,因为它总是谦逊地低垂着它的绿荫。”带着对绿叶精神的追求,带着对教师的崇拜,带着对教育事业的憧憬与热爱,我义无反顾地选择了教师这一职业,也深深体会到了教师这个职业的神圣。
2008年5月12日那个充满阴霾的下午,两点二十八分,那一刻,无数的房屋倒塌,无数的鲜花凋零,无数的生命消亡,就在那一刻却有无数的教师用自己的生命挽起学生的生命。
他弓着身子,张开双臂,紧紧地趴在课桌上,雷鸣般的巨响,雪崩般的砖瓦像弹片砸到他的头上、手上、背上,热血喷涌而出;他咬着牙,拼命地撑住课桌,如同一只护卫小鸡的母鸡,他的身下蜷伏着四个鲜活的学生,而他张开守护翅膀的身躯却定格为永恒。他就是谭千秋老师,他用自己宝贵的生命诠释了爱与责任的师德灵魂。
24岁的青年教师苟晓超在地震来临时一边喊“快跑,危险,快,快„„”,一边迅速抱起一名学生往楼下冲。到了楼下,来不及喘一口气,立即返身冲上三楼。他又抱起两名学生,向楼下冲去„„ 当他再一次冲上三楼,再一次抱起两名学生,再一次向楼下冲去时,顶楼轰然倒塌,重伤中的他倒在血泊里,用他生命的最后一丝力气,艰难的伸出手指指向楼顶,奄奄一息的说:“上„„上„„上面还有„„”你知道吗?这是他新婚后第一天上班,还是个幸福的新郎呀!
听,一岁半的小雯欣在不停地号哭:“救—妈妈!救—爸爸!”小女孩张大嘴巴不停地号哭,双手死死抓住抱她的邻居的肩膀。她只有一岁半,说话还不清晰。地震之后,她再也没有听到过爸爸妈妈的声音,哪怕一个字。没有人告诉她,她最爱的妈妈----映秀小学教师严蓉在救下了13个学生后,再也不会回来;而爸爸,依然音讯全无,小小的她已成了孤儿。
让我们记住这样一串闪光的名字吧!为救学生身体断为三截的向倩老师;被锯掉双臂的张米亚老师;还有张红梅、瞿万容、袁文婷„„
他走了,她走了,他们走了„„
这是怎样的一份爱啊,让你生死相许,矢志不渝。
这又是怎样的一双翅膀啊,钢浇铁铸,给人以生机,更托起了中华民族的希望。
沉沉的瓦砾,压垮了教室,压不垮的是教师坚毅的臂膀;
茫茫的废墟,淹没了校园,淹没不了的是教师沸腾的热血;
地震的灾难,震动了大地,震不动的是他们为教育事业奉献终生的擎天誓言!
敬爱的老师,你们舍生取义,用生命书写的大爱,是为师的精神,更告诉我们,什么是人类永恒坚守的品质!
汶川的孩子们是不幸的,在他们本该享受快乐童年的时候却遭遇了灾难;汶川的孩子们又是幸运的,是他们的老师用责任将他们从死亡边缘拉了回来。他们用自己的行动乃至生命,向我们诠释了什么是师德,什么是爱,什么是荣耀!
作为一名教师,一个还健康活着的人,我应该做什么呢?我也许不能做像他们那样的英雄,但我能像他们一样去无私奉献。“春蚕到死丝难尽,蜡炬成灰泪不干”是春蚕,就让我有抽不尽的丝;是蜡烛,就让我发出夺目的光;是人梯,就让我为学生架起人生成功的通道!
是小草就让它去装点大地,是大树就让它长成栋梁!我愿做一片绿叶,映衬红花;我愿做一缕春风,吹拂笑面;我愿做一滴甘露,浸润心田„„只要我们把平凡的人生献给这壮丽的事业,用心血与汗水去浇注祖国的花朵,那么,我们平凡的生命将会在壮丽的事业中永远闪光!
桃李芬芳怀伟志,英才荟萃兴中华。我自豪,因为我是一名教师!我自豪,因为我长大后就成了你—— 人民教师!
