勷勤杯英语演讲比赛获奖者之杨彦采访稿
虽然备受瞩目的勷勤杯英语演讲比赛落下了帷幕,但选手在台上的精彩应答和自信神态,依然给观看比赛的同学们留下了深刻的印象。舞台上耀眼的他们在现实中是怎样的人呢?他们在英语学习中是否也有着与我们一样的困惑,那他们又是如何解决的呢?带着这些问题,编辑部的小记们采访了本届勷勤杯英语演讲比赛二等奖获奖者杨彦同学,邀请她与我们分享她对英语学习、对生活的点滴感悟。
编辑部的小记们在文科楼前的草坪上见到了这位曾去美国作为交换生学习一年的杨彦同学。杨彦同学的衣着简单清爽,嘴角蕴着淡淡的微笑,一看到小记们就亲切地打了招呼。
话题从戏剧大赛的获奖感受开始。杨彦同学直率地告诉我们,她很开心能够获奖,但这也不算出乎意料之外。当谈到这种淡定从容的心理素质和自信的心态是如何锻炼出来的时候,杨彦同学坦率地讲,一开始她上台也会相当紧张,甚至手和腿都会颤抖。但积极地把握住生活的各种机会后,比如在课堂上与老师用英语对话、上台做presentation等,她就慢慢地培养了出色的心理素质。
小记们这才感悟到成功是建立在一点一滴的辛勤努力上的。而面对眼前这个看来格外易于亲近又富有才华的同学,不趁机套问些英语学习的小窍门实在是浪费宝贵的机会了。
杨彦同学笑着说:“其实我个人很喜欢看美剧,所以我的一个小方法是看一些生活化的美剧,比如《老友记》,然后模仿自己喜欢的角色去对话。这不仅有助于锻炼口语,还有助于我们了解native speaker常用的俚语和思维方式。还有,多听类似BBC、VOA等新闻材料,一边听一边把自己能听到的单词记下来,最后再对照原文稿把自己不会的单词记录下来,这也是很不错的学习方法。还有一个小诀窍就是,可以在听到一些新闻或热点事件后尝试用英语表达自己的观点,或者每天用英语表达自己的心情,能找到同伴一起练习更好,不过我个人而言通常都是自言自语。”说到这儿,大家都笑了,她又补充道:“当然,休闲娱乐时也可看一些自己感兴趣的英语小说、电影,不过这不必带有很强的目的性,是以娱乐为主了。”
原本专心记录着的小记又追问道:“杨彦同学你所提到的,如多听BBC、VOA等新闻这个方法对于一些英语基础差的同学来说是否有些困难呢?”
“不管是谁一开始都很困难的,我也不例外。最重要的是每天坚持。”杨彦同学也很坦诚地告诉我们,“基础差就只能多练,是没有可以一步登天的方法的。”
学习经验的交流告一段落,小记想起杨彦同学曾到美国学习一年的经历,便好奇地问起杨彦同学在美国学习时有什么感受。杨彦同学初听到问题的时候有些惊讶,紧接着就笑着说:
“你们怎么知道的?就讲讲我初到美国时的窘况吧。当时在快餐店里吃饭,连餐牌都看不懂,只能傻傻地指着餐牌来点餐。到美国后就是被逼着用英语交流,一开始是很艰难的。”她的语气里带着自嘲,又补充:“不过这种机会是很好的,可以让我拓展视野,了解到文化之间的差异。我希望同学们都有机会看看外面的世界。”
在采访的末尾,杨彦同学又贴心地给了大一新生们一些建议:“大一时要打好学习基础,否则后面的学习会很困难。大学社团很多,学弟学妹们也可以适当参加,但绝不能以‘社团活动太忙’作为不学习的借口。当然,学弟学妹们也不要把自己弄得太累哦。”

The Doors that Are Open to Us
Good morning ladies £Ánd gentlemen:
The title of my speech today is “The Doors that Are Open to Us ”.The other day my aunt paid me a visit.She was overjoyed.“I got the highest mark in the mid-term examination!” she said.Don't be surprised!My aunt is indeed a student;to be exact, a college student at the age of 45.Last year, she put aside her private business £Ánd signed up for a one-year, full-time management course in a college.“This was the wisest decision I have ever made,” she said proudly like a teenage girl.To her, college is always a right place to pick up new ideas, £Ánd new ideas always make her feel young.“Compared with the late 70s,” she says, “now college students have many doors.” My aunt cannot help but recall her first college experience in 1978 when college doors began to be re-opened after the Cultural Revolution.She was assigned to study engineering despite her desire to study Chinese literature, £Ánd a few years later, the government sent her to work in a TV factory.I was shocked when she first told me how she(had)had no choice in her major £Ánd job.Look at us today!So many doors are open to us!I believe there have never been such abundant opportunities for self-development as we have today.£Ánd my aunt told me that we should reach our goals by grasping all these opportunities.The first door I see is the opportunity to study different kinds of subjects that interest us.My aunt said she was happy to study management, but she was also happy that she could attend lectures on ancient Chinese poetry £Ánd on Shakespearean drama.As for myself, I am an English major, but I may also go to lectures on history.To me, if college education in the past emphasized specialization, now, it emphasizes free £Ánd well-rounded development of each individual.So all the fine achievements of human civilization are open to us.The second door is the door to the outside world.Learning goes beyond classrooms £Ánd national boundaries.My aunt remembers her previous college days as monotonous £Ánd even calls her generation “frogs in a well.” But today, as the world becomes a global village, it is important that our neighbors £Ánd we be open-minded to learn with £Ánd from each other.I have many fellow international classmates, £Ánd I am applying
to an exchange program with a university abroad.As for my aunt, she is planning to get an MBA degree in the United Kingdom where her daughter, my cousin, is now doing her master's degree in biochemistry.We are now taking the opportunity to study overseas, £Ánd when we come back, we'll put to use what we have learnt abroad.The third door is the door to lifelong learning.As new ideas appear all the time, we always need to acquire new knowledge, regardless of our age.Naturally, my aunt herself is the best example.Many of my aunt's contemporaries say that she is amazingly up-to-date for a middle-aged woman.She simply responds, “Age doesn't matter.What matters is your attitude.You may think it's strange that I am still going to college, but I don't think I'm too old to learn.” Yes, she is right.Since the government removed the age limit for college admissions in 2001, there are already some untraditional students, sitting with us in the same classrooms.Like these people, my aunt is old but she is very young in spirit.With her incredible energy £Ánd determination, she embodies both tradition £Ánd modernity.The doors open to us also pose challenges.For instance, we are faced with the challenge of a balanced learning, the challenge of preserving our fine tradition while learning from the West, £Ánd the challenge of learning continuously while carrying heavy responsibilities to our work £Ánd family.So, each door is a test of our courage, ability £Ánd judgment, but with the support of my teachers, parents, friends £Ánd my aunt, I believe I can meet the challenge head on.When I reach my aunt's age, I can be proud to say that I have walked through dozens of doors £Ánd will, in the remainder of my life, walk through many more.Possibly I will go back to college, too.Thank you very much, ladies £Ánd gentlemen
