everyone knows how to learn: you repeat the times tables and definitions and capitals’ names again and again, until you remember them.that is learning, right? nooooo!that is toilet training, folks!that is holding poo-poo in until the teacher says you can go, then letting it out on demand;not learning.think about it—in however many years of education you have, through the sometimes seemingly endless hours sitting still needlessly, upon pain of punishment and public shaming, forbidden even from harmlessly gazing out the window at the tender ages of seven, eight, nine years old when things like trees and clouds and the very ground were still magical, not mere objects of study—when did anyone ever give you so much as a single five-minute lesson about how to learn, itself? in the immortal phrase of the master of international mystery and intrigue in films, charlie chan: amazing!okay, so let’s get down to it.the role of a teacher, according to plato, is to show people what they already know.what he meant by that is showing you things you don’t understand in terms of things you already know, so you learn how to do that continually, yourself.the goal of a student, therefore, is learning how to access what you already know, to help you understand what you don’t.i showed a class of second graders, who were struggling with first learning how to fill in blank spaces of sentences from words at the top of the page, that it was like putting pieces of a puzzle together, which may at first look like they fit, but upon closer examination from other criteria than the obvious, don’t.ahhh, they’d done that 100 times!the problem that immediately arises like a giant dragon for most people, and forever stands between them and ever learning how to learn, is selecting what we already know that is similar enough to what we don’t, to help us understand it, as well.that is our subject.look around you.lo and behold, as different as the people you see are, we are actually very similar in structure.as different as their clothes and book bags are, they are very similar in structure.as different as all the elements on earth are, stacked neatly together in the table of elements, the structure of their atoms are again very similar, varying in the number of electrons, protons, and neutrons much the way people are different heights and weights.wellll, wouldn’t it stand to reason that information also has a relatively uniform structure? mind as i was writing this, from hamlet’s fore-mentioned soliloquy, the way the ball bounces back into basketball players’ hands while spinning and changing directions at full speed, according to the laws of physics, because the structure of their motions are properly aligned, from having done it thousands of times and mastered the necessary speed, strength, stamina, flexibility, timing, and touch.brilliantly because they have brilliant ideas, whereas the opposite is true.they get brilliant ideas because the soundness of their narrative structure promulgates them, just as holiday ornaments remain in the closet, so to speak, until the holiday tree is present to hang them on.ill give you a hint: every book or article about doing anything well uses numerous anecdotes to illustrate their point and draws analogies between the matter at hand and the world at large, showing you things you don’t know about in terms of other things you already understand.people who learn how to do that, themselves, continually see how things they dont know about are similar to things they already understand, and therefore learn geometrically instead of arithmetically, bringing everything they know to bear on any given matter at hand.the entire learning curve is accelerated instead of incremental.sounds simple enough.so does playing the trumpet or soccer, but as the vice chair of a medical school realized, who had been telling students for decades the power of anecdotes in eliciting information from patients, theres as much more to formulating them than meets the eye, as wielding a scalpel.one of the postdoctoral psychologists at the institute for rational emotive therapy(now the albert ellis institute)pointed out when i spoke there that they already tell psychologists to have patients formulate their situation anecdotally.“thats like telling people who worry too much not to worry about it!” i pointed out.i spent thirty years virtually unravelling the fabric of information, which anyone can then use to make a pillow, a curtain, or a tapestry, as they please, the way children fill in a numbered coloring book.it also makes learning fun.a seven-year old autistic child asked if i were going to do more magic tricks the second time i came to her class.not knowing any, i asked what she meant.the way you change one thing into another all the time.a nine-year old asked regarding the think outside the box sign outside their schools guidance counsellors office, if this were how you get outside the box.a ten-year old asked if you could change your whole brain this way.and your life, i replied;maybe the whole darned world.two minutes later she asked: what happens to people who cant get outside the box.less than a minute later, she realized the answer: theyre soon lost in it, as well.think about the fortunes spent on after-school tutoring programs.i believe sylvan is around $8000 down;then you pay $150 / week!think about the fortunes spent on therapy and marriage counselling.relationships are a function of...relating the situation at hand to others like it in the world at large.wow!how can someone relate well to others, in business or at home, who cannot relate one thing to another, in the first place? this is here is the question of questions for you: how can you hope to use what others teach you about life or work, in person or books, lacking this one skill, without which the authors or speakers couldnt explain what they are teaching? think about it!even unleashing your passion for life, let alone other things, is a function of how fully, deeply, vividly, and clearly you can think about them.i think;therefore i feel, not just am!篇五：全国大学生英语英语演讲比赛第一名
全国大学生英语英语演讲比赛第一名 顾秋蓓 演讲稿 a scene to remember gu qiubei shanghai international studies university advisor: gong longsheng good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.today i would like to begin with a story.there was once a physical therapist who traveled all the way from america to africa to do a census about mountain gorillas [go·ril·la || g?r?l?]n.大猩猩;歹徒;壮而残暴的男人。these gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world;this put them severely under threat of poaching and being put into the zoo.she went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures.she witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged weve ever been, where in the very depth of the african rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas cuddled their babies.yes, thats a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called gorillas in the mist, based on a true story of mrs.dian fossey, who spent most of bet lifetime in rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.to me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our ecoenvironment.today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems.on the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides pe ople with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go去看看每一件值得看的事情, 去任何一个值得去(或可以去)的地方。
第五篇：英语演讲题目汇总
1.Sharing economy has become a popular term among young people.By sharing transportation and assets, we can reduce negative environmental impact by reducing the amount of good needing to be produced which cuts down on industry pollution(such as reducing the carbon footprint and consumption of resources).However, some people hold an unfavorable opinion that “sharing economy” is actually “access economy”.Do you agree with the statement that when “sharing” is market-mediated — when a company is an intermediary between consumers who don’t know each other — it is no longer sharing at all?
2.Owing to the breakneck high technology development, our life is becoming more environmental friendly.For example, Kindle and the application of office soft wares reduce the use of paper.So how do high-tech devices influence our daily life to make it greener?
3.America is exporting its most influential cultural product, Hollywood movies, to the rest of the world.As a result, the American spirit embodied in the movies has been taken more and more as universal.In your opinion, what is American spirit? Please use examples to illustrate your point of view.4.Environmental protection has been a more and more popular issue and attracts more and more attention of people.Meanwhile, nowadays, many laws have passed to raise people’s awareness of protecting the environment.Do you think it is a feasible way? In other words, which way do you think is helpful to protect the environment, legislation of environmental protection laws or just cultivating people’s consciousness of protecting the environment?
5.In recent years, thanks to the rapid development in information technology, online learning has greatly influenced education across the globe.For example, MOOC has enabled people to participate in classes of some very famous universities thousands of miles away for free.In your opinion, what impact would online learning have on traditional educational system?
6.From the perspective of cross-cultural communication, how can you, as a college student, bridge the cultural gap? You can use an example in your daily life to illustrate.For instance, your foreign teachers are from other cultural background, is there any misunderstanding happen between your foreign teachers and you? How do you overcome the difficulty?
7.Do you know “Tiger Mother Education”? Tiger mother, like Amy Chua, refers to a strict or demanding mother who pushes her children to be successful academically by attaining high levels of scholastic and academic achievement, using method regarded as typical of child rearing in East Asia.Tiger mothers prioritize school work above all else and only allow children to participate in activities in order to potentially win awards which believe will increase the chance of the child’s acceptance to the best schools.So in your opinion, do you agree with this kind of education? What are the advantages and disadvantages? How to improve it?
