第一篇：Discover yourself 諸康妮(雙語演講稿)

Discover yourself.英語演講稿中英對照：

Today I'm going to talk about discover yourself.今天我要談的是：發現自己。

Ever since the accelerated development of human civilization, perpetual scientific discovery of nature have companied mankind all along the journey.自然科學的發現始終伴隨著人類文明的飛速發展。

It was by discovering the around us that human beings have been able to live a more sophisticated life.通過對周圍事物的觀察和發現，我們人類已經過著更美好的生活。

However, as G.K.Chesterton once said “one may understand the cosmos, but never the ego, the self is more distance than any star.然而，切斯特頓曾經說過：人們可以了解宇宙。但從來不了解自己，自我的距離遠超過任 何星辰的距離。

Thus, a life is a journey of unrelenting offers to discover more of ourselves.因此，生活是一個不屈不撓、努力發現自己的旅程。

When I was six, I constantly picture myself as an elegant and skilled pianist rendering Xiao Bang's nocturnal beautifully on the stage, receiving award and applause after my performance.當我六歲時，就不斷想象自己像一個優雅和嫻熟的鋼琴家，在舞臺上演奏肖邦的優美的小夜 曲，在演奏結束后收獲著獎勵和掌聲

However, as I further my piano lessons, it was hard to be oblivious of my non-gifted skills.可是，在隨后的鋼琴課上，我發現我并沒有演奏鋼琴的天賦。

Sometimes I couldn't help but have this feeling of despair, when I woke up to the reality and discover that my goal was unrealistic.有時候，當我從夢中回到現實，發現自己的目標多么的不切實際，我忍不住感到絕望。Brutal but real.現實是殘酷的。

It was the first time;I had discovered that I couldn't have it at all, when I was twelve.12歲的時候，我第一次發現我不可能成為鋼琴演奏家。

I thought the coolest job in the entire universe was to be a surgeon.我曾經以為在全世界外科醫生是最酷的工作。

I spent hours and hours watching the drama Grey's Anatomy and couldn't help falling in love with the kind of live those doctor lead on the scream.我一遍又一遍地觀看情節劇《實習醫生格蕾》，并不自覺地被那些尖叫的醫生所吸引。I was utterly mesmerized by the scalpel and all those fancy medical terms that use.我完全被手術刀和那些花哨的醫療用語迷住了。

However, I stop to dream about being a surgeon when I discover that it was the idea of being a surgeon that appeal to me, not what it truly was.但是，當發現成為一名外科醫生只是一廂情愿時，我就不再侈想。As a result, the dream ended and I discovered some more about myself.此后，隨著夢想的破滅，我加深了對自己的了解。

This year, I turned sixteen and I could proudly say I do not dream to be, but ascertain to peruse being a lower in the future.在我十六歲那一年，我可以自豪地說，我不再夢想著成為什么什么，但卻為未來制定了一個 現實的目標。

Since junior high school I had always been awarded the most eloquent debater in every single debater participated in.I can not only think logically, but also deliver my thought promptly.從初中開始，我總是在比賽中被評為最佳辯手，我思維縝密、善于表達。

My huge interest in philosophy also acts my reason in whenever I tried to argue with something equivocal.對哲學的巨大興趣使我總是試圖去為一些模棱兩可的問題尋找答案。

Being aware of the obstacles and the hardships on the way becoming a great lawyer never panics me, for the simple reason that I have this faith and passion in what I am aspiring after.我知道，要想成為一個偉大的律師其前路困難重重，但這并沒有把我嚇倒，那是因為我對我 的追求充滿了信心和激情。

G.K.Chesterton was absolutely correct;the most complicated part of comprehending the world is the study of somehow smaller world, ourselves.切斯特頓是對的，要想理解世界上最復雜的部分需要從對小的地方著手研究即從研究我們自 己開始。

I subsequently realized that growing up is a process that discover yourselves.從那以后，我意識到成長的過程就是一個不斷發現自己的過程。

We got to know what we truly are and become who we dream to be.我們需要知道真正的自己然后才能我成為我們夢想中的自己。

As we shape ourselves and as we shape of our lives.當我們塑造自己時，同時也在塑造我們的生活。

We gradually become more aware of limits and potentials, and consequently learn to adjust learn what's out there, and by that ladies and gentlemen I'm proud to say that I have discovered part of myself, sue to discovering today and definitely a lot more in the future.當我們逐漸認識道自己的不足和潛力，進而學著去適應和調整，并因此，女士們，先生們，我可以很自豪地說，我已經逐漸發現了自己，今天正在發現且明天會更多地發現自己。

I would always keep this in embedded in my heart.我將會永遠記住這一點。

Things do not change, we do!事情不會改變，我們會！

即興提問部分： 問題 1 ：關于早戀現象

First of all, I would like to say that this is a rather prevalent phenomenon these days, we can see a lot of stu dents around me are having this young puppy love and I think it’s

utterly normal for them because I can understand why they do this.They try to seek recognition from the other sex instead of academic success.However, Imorally against it because it’s sudd enly detrimental to our future development and it would never last long.First of all, as we can understand that we are still rather immature psychologically in this current stage.And most important thing for love is that we cannot actually thoroughly understand what love is.And for most important part is that I can see students around me having puppy love for simply messing around, seeking pleasure instead of making

commitments.And because of this kind of flippancy attitude, I think all they could do is to messaround and that is why puppy love dies in the blink of an eye.And for example I could say, Mary would be dating David on the first day of November, however two days later she is kissing Tom on the other side of the campus.And that’s very normal th ese days.And secondly I think is because for puppy love is very detrimental to our future

development because this particular stage of our time what we should do is to allocate our time to studying and participating in ex-curriculum activity in order to go to the wonderful college in the future.And time is scarce because of that I think as Shake spear once said love is blind and a lot of young students thought they’ve lost themselves in this procedure.And that is very very costly.And so in conclusion, w e’d like view this problem from the view of economics, when we are making more rational choices, we should consider the marginal benefits and marginal costs for this particular problem and in the case of puppy love, I see the marginal costs exceeds the marginal benefit a lot.And that is reason why I think this is something we should not be approbated and for the case of those people who are thinking that true love might be lost through this way.I would they that the true love can wait, because if not, it wouldn’t be true love at all, and we’ll have nothing to lose.and that is the reason why I have this kind of opinion.問題 2 ：關于信仰和激情，以及你為什么想當律師 , 這與其他職業有何不同

I think the reason why I choose to be a lawyer in the future I choose to pursue this career is different from choosing to become a pianist and surgeon is because there was one time I think this kind of career that’s best fits me.I’m a sort of debater in my early days and I have this kind of technique in order to pursue this career.And that is the practical reason why I think this is why this career is best fits me.And secondly, because personally I have watched a movie called the time to kill it is about a case where a black girl got raped and the only lawyer who step to fight for her is a white lawyer, and the whole process is very complicated but what I see from that story is that I’m very interested in human rights and I want to argue for these people who had their rights trampled and their freedom, how to say, steal away.And if I can be that lawyer, although sometimes I may go against my will and argue for a murderer, a reaper or a criminal, I will always remember that I have taken the oath, that I have to do this job this is my obligation.And I think because of these reasons I have this passion becaus e I love this job, and I have technique because I’m a debater and a speaker in public situations.And this is why this is different from the other choices.問題 3 ：什么是愛情？

I think love is something that cannot be measured qualifiedly, but the reason why I brought up this terminology in economic is because it first jumps to my mind when I think about making rational choices, and love is something that make us irrational and that is the

reason why put out these terminologies, but I think to answer your question of what love is, personally I would say that, knowing from parents view, and also looking at different cases around me from novel, films and movies.I think love is something about commitment.It’s something of responsibility, not just love for the first sight.Because if you believe in love for the first sight, you should believe that it would be gone instantly away.And because of that I think love is something should be taken at heart, it’s not just physical attraction.Because one it would die out.What makes for love go for forever is kind of responsibility that we have to shoulder.That is something that we should not be given away instantly, and that is what I think is love.

Discover Yourself Ever since the accelerated development of human civilization, perpetual scientific discoveries of nature had accompanied mankind all along the journey.It was by discovering the world around us that human beings have been able to lead a more sophisticated life.However, as G.K.Chesterton once said, “One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego;the self is more distant than any star.” Similarly, our life is a journey of unrelenting efforts to discover more of ourselves.When I was 6 I constantly pictured myself as an elegant and skilled pianist rendering Chopin’s nocturne beautifully on the stage, receiving warm applause after my performance.As I furthered my piano lessons, it was hard to be oblivious of my non-gifted skills.Sometimes I couldn’t help but have this feeling of despair when I woke up to the reality and discovered that my goal was unrealistic.Brutal but real, it was the first time I had discovered that I couldn’t have it all.When I was 12 I thought the coolest job in the entire universe was to be a surgeon.I spent hours and hours watching the drama “Grey’s Anatomy”, and couldn’t help falling in love with the kind of life those doctors lead on the screen.I was utterly mesmerized by the scalpel and all those fancy medical terms they use.However, I stopped dreaming about being a surgeon when I discovered that it was the idea of being a surgeon that appealed to me, not what it truly was.Therefore, the dream ended and I discovered some more about myself.This year I turned 16, I could proudly say I do not dream to be but ascertain to pursue being a lawyer in the future.Since junior high school I was always awarded the “most eloquent debater” in every single debate I participated in.I cannot only think logically but also deliver my thoughts promptly.My huge interest in philosophy also adds to my reasoning whenever I tried to argue on something equivocal.Being aware of the obstacles and hardships on the way to becoming a great lawyer never panics me, for the simple reason that I have this faith and passion in what I am aspiring after.G.K.Chesterton was absolutely correct, the most complicated part of comprehending the world is the study of the somehow smaller world—ourselves.I subsequently realized that growing up is the process of discovering ourselves;we get to know what we truly are, and become who we dream to be.As we shape ourselves, and as we shape our lives, we gradually become more aware of our limits and potentials and consequently learn to adjust to what’s out there.And by that, ladies and gentleman, I’m proud to say that I’ve discovered part of myself, still discovering today standing on this stage, and hopefully a lot more in the future.I will always keep this embedded into my heart.That things do not change, we do.

早上好.早上好.我的問題是信仰和激情。你的發言中說，十億次在你的生活中你有信心，時間為一個特定職業的激情。是什么讓你覺得沒有什么不同，你想走的路，專業是一個偉大的律師，但現在的年輕人傾向于有一天被認為是這第二天是。所以從你之前的方式沒有什么不同？

好的，非常感謝你。我想，我之所以選擇成為一名律師在未來我選擇這個職業的不同，選擇成為一個外科醫生的鋼琴家，是因為有一次，我覺得這樣的職業生涯是一個最適合我。我是一個種在我早期的辯手和我有這種技術來從事這一職業。這就是為什么我認為這就是為什么實際的原因，這是最適合我的職業生涯。其次是因為我曾經看過一部電影叫做“打發時間”，這是一個情況下，一個黑人女孩得到了熱情洋溢的唯一律師走上前去為她而戰是一個白色的律師。整個過程是很復雜的。但我所看到的故事是，我在人權很感興趣，我想說，那些擁有自己的權利被踐踏他們的自由，如何說，偷了（偷）走，如果我可以，律師雖然有時我可能違背我的意志和主張一個殺人犯，一個說唱歌手，一個罪犯，我將永遠記住我發過誓，我要做這個工作。這是我的義務。我認為，由于這些原因，我有這樣的激情，因為我愛這個工作，我有技術，因為我在公共場合辯手和揚聲器，這就是為什么我認為這是不同于其他的選擇。夠了，謝謝.早上好.早上好.如果愛情可以使命，它的經濟效益和經濟的缺點。這是真正的愛？什么是愛？ 好的，首先謝謝你的問題。我認為愛情是不能真正衡量質量。但為什么我提出的術語，術語在經濟學中是因為它第一次跳在我的腦海里我想做出理性的選擇。愛讓我們變得不合理。這就是為什么我申請這兩個術語的原因。但是我想回答你的問題是什么愛，就我個人而言，我想說的是，從我的父母的觀點也看著我周圍的不同情況，從小說和電影和電影，我認為愛是承諾。它是什么；它不是愛的第一眼的責任，因為如果你相信一見鐘情，你應該相信它會消失在一瞬間消失。正因為如此，我認為愛是應該采取的心。它不僅是身體的吸引力，因為它總有一天會死了。但又是什么讓愛走，會永遠是這樣的責任，我們必須在我們的肩上。這件事我們不應該讓它立刻。這就是我認為的是愛。夠了，謝謝.篇四：諸康妮全國英語演講大賽冠軍演講稿

第四篇：諸康妮學習方法

第七屆希望之星小學組選手諸康妮：學習經驗 我是這樣學習英語的 en another window for us.it makes me have an ever-strong desire to promote my english further.besides, i have found out that watching original english movies and reading original english books are the good ways to learn english.the english language is just like a deep ocean.you can see people use different ways to express themselves.you can learn a lot of historic and cultural backgrounds about the language.now i have read , , and so on.i have watched the movies , , etc.those books and movies made me believe the world is colorful, beautiful and changeable.i am determined to learn more english in the futur e.家長或老師文章

the way i teach my child english er.firstly, i gave her the gift—an ignition of a passion for learni ng english.when my daughter was just 14-month old, once i pointed to the sky saying: “moon” to her, i repeated again and again.then, she could repeat it clearly.this was the first english word she learned.after that i often taught her by naming objects in english, such as: “what’s that?” “that’s a tree.” “what’s this?” “this is a car.” i almost pointed everything we met on the street.the foundations of language were constructed.when she was 3-year old, i bought a lot of english dvds for her.they were cartoon plays, very colorful with great fun.she liked them very much.she watched those cartoon plays one hour before going to kindergarten every morning.besides, i set a rule for her: she must be able to recite 3 new english words before going to bed every evening.in order to consolidate what she had already learned, she would seize upon every opportunity to make use of her newly-learned words or phases in her conversation with me or with the people we met in english corner.i would organize a simple english story for her, and let her guess what the story said.she liked the game very much.she has built up her vocabulary and has a strong desire in learning english.don’t worry to make mistakes, try to learn from your mistake s.language has rules, but these rules are not absolute.sometimes we learn to break them.usually, a verb in english will have a simple form-i see-and a past form—i saw.but these are many exceptions.a small child will say i run and i run, i go and i go.and this is logical, but wrong.i have to correct her: i ran last night.and i went to school yesterday.why? i have to say: this is so because it is so.she learned the rules of grammar steadily by this way.i encouraged her: “practice speaking english everyday.don’t worry to make mistakes, try to learn from your mistakes.” and we a lso play with the language.reading the original books is a great help in learning the lang uage.she went to school at 6-year old.she learned a lot from school education.there are at least 2 english lessons in her school each day.i have never taught her the textbook;instead, i begin to guide her reading original english books.reading can enrich our knowledge.literature is the immortal part of history;it is the best and most enduring part of personality.she has read different kinds of books such as children stories, fares like the snow white, the daughter of the sea, and detective stories, fables and so on.now she has read gone with the wind, jane eyre, little women, hamlet etc.she said reading is much interesting than watching tv.i think thi s is what i have expected.? 諸康妮媽媽:李暉

一、與老師多溝通，及時了解孩子在校的表現 以前忽略了與老師的溝通，覺得孩子的成績一直不錯，老師也沒來電話告狀，就沒有主動與老師交流。孩子一天天長大，變得叛逆起來，很愛頂嘴，有時說出的話讓人吃驚，你得想一下怎樣跟她講道理，用長輩的身份去壓制她已經不管用了。想想孩子也是一個獨立的人、大寫的人，要用道理去說服她，讓她改掉自己的不良行為和偏激，已成為當務之急。我經常給她讀報、讀<<讀者>>, 希望她學會寬容,變得從容,去掉心浮氣躁。但這些努力收效都不大,她本性急躁,爭勝好強,又是獨生子女,做事總以自我為中心,這樣就很難與同學友好相處。雖然她生性耿直,不怕吃苦,做值日認真負責(從小我們就教育她做事要認真,不怕吃虧,但怕偷奸耍滑),學習也好,上課專心聽講。但她性格品質上的不足,讓我深深地擔憂。

就在我發愁之際,一次別開生面的家長會給了我深刻的啟發。那是去年開學時,班里換了新老師——班主任方婭老師,在家長會上我第一次見到這位令人尊敬的老師。從她熱情洋溢的講話中,你可以感受到她對教育事業的熱愛,對孩子的熱愛。會上一些孩子和他們的家長發了言,王婷同學的父親還做了全程錄像(后來刻成了光盤,發給了每一位同學)。這些發言的孩子有一個共同的特點:關心班集體,有愛心,綜合素質好。方婭老師用了很長的時間著重談了思想品德教育、素質教育的方法及其重要性,會后又把錄像在班里放了一遍,讓每個孩子都看了。我問孩子:你學習好,為什么老師不表揚你? 她沒吱聲,但看得出來這次家長會對她的觸動很大:她變得沉靜了,虛心了。后來我又給老師打電話請教,方婭老師給我介紹了很多好方法及相關的書籍,并說:孩子的可塑性很大,從正面去影響她,鼓勵她,很快就會改好的,不用太擔心。老師的一席話讓我一下子釋然了,孩子有這樣的老師指教,我們家長也放心了。事實證明這個班所有的孩子都進步了,因為老師善于發現每一個孩子的閃光點,及時鼓勵肯定,使孩子覺得自己不是壞孩子;老師及時與家長溝通,孩子取得了成績就給家長打喜報,比如,上屆校運會,同學們在老師的鼓勵下,取得了前所未有的好成績,許多家長都接到了老師打來的報喜電話,在班上受到了表揚,使其有一種被班集體需要的榮譽感??一個向上的班風,改變著孩子,諸康妮明顯地進步了,在學校擺正了自我的位置,學會融入集體,向他人學習;學會了與人合作,擔任中隊長后,和其他同學組成一個領導班子,主持中隊的工作。為把每周一次的中隊會主持好,她經常在電腦里查資料,編寫主持手稿到深夜。在家我也經常和她談心,跟她一起學國學啟蒙叢書中的<<弟子規>>,讓她知道讀書的目的,首重人格的培養,孝順父母,友愛兄弟姐妹,謹慎誠實,“有余力,則學文”。可喜的是學校也加強了這方面的教育，五（2）班的學生見到同學的家長會主動禮貌地問好；在他們的課文中也出現了大量閃現著中華民族精神的格言，看得出孩子對這些格言的喜愛，每次回來都要與家長探討。我真切地趕到了孩子在成長，在家孝順父母，媽媽病了就趕緊端水遞藥，吃東西時分給大家，不吃獨食，知道分享。還經常夸贊別的同學哪方面好，比自己強。看到她變得越來越快樂、開朗和自信，我們做家長的打心眼里感激知人善用、鼓勵孩子成長、辛勤教書育人的好老師！篇二：discover

change, we do!今天我要談的是：發現自己。自然科學的發現始終伴隨著人類文明的飛速發展。通過對周圍事物的觀察和發現，我們人類已經過著更美好的生活。然而，切斯特頓曾經說過：“人們可以了解宇宙, 但從來不了解自己，自我的距離遠超過任何星辰的距離。”因此，生活是一個不屈不撓、努力發現自己的旅程。當我六歲時，就不斷想象自己像一個優雅和嫻熟的鋼琴家，在舞臺上演奏肖邦的優美的小夜曲，在演奏結束后收獲著獎勵和掌聲可是，在隨后的鋼琴課上，我發現我并沒有演奏鋼琴的天賦。有時候，當我從夢中回到現實，發現自己的目標多么的不切實際，我忍不住感到絕望。現實是殘酷的。12歲的時候，我第一次發現我不可能成為鋼琴演奏家。我曾經以為在全世界外科醫生是最酷的工作。我一遍又一遍地觀看情節劇《實習醫生格蕾》，并不自覺地被那些尖叫的醫生所吸引。我完全被手術刀和那些花哨的醫療用語迷住了。但是，當發現成為一名外科醫生只是一廂情愿時，我就不再侈想。此后，隨著夢想的破滅，我加深了對自己的了解。在我十六歲那一年，我可以自豪地說，我不再夢想著成為什么什么，但卻為未來制定了一個現實的目標。從初中開始，我總是在比賽中被評為最佳辯手，我思維縝密、善于表達。對哲學的巨大興趣使我總是試圖去為一些模棱兩可的問題尋找答案。我知道，要想成為一個偉大的律師其前路困難重重，但這并沒有把我嚇倒，那是因為我對我的追求充滿了信心和激情。切斯特頓是對的，要想理解世界上最復雜的部分需要從對小的地方著手研究即從研究我們自己開始。從那以后，我意識到成長的過程就是一個不斷發現自己的過程。我們需要知道真正的自己然后才能我成為我們夢想中的自己。當我們塑造自己時，同時也在塑造我們的生活當我們逐漸認識道自己的不足和潛力，進而學著去適應和調整，并因此，女士們，先生們，我可以很自豪地說，我已經逐漸發現了自己，今天正在發現且明天會更多地發現自己。我將會永遠記住這一點。雖然事情沒有改變，但我們要改變！篇三：discover

記者發現，這些優秀的學生都是興趣廣泛，多才多藝，且注重學習的計劃性和高效率，不“死讀書”，而在家庭方面，都有著民主、和睦的家庭氛圍，父母會給他們很大的空間，且尊重他們的想法。

諸康妮：

選擇適合自己的最重要

在被6所美國知名大學同時錄取之前，諸康妮已經是深圳外國語學校的名人，她創辦哲學社，擔任學校社團聯合會理事長、學校模擬聯合會主席，還是學校辯論隊的最佳辯手，去年她還參加21世紀英語全國演講比賽，得了高中組全國總冠軍，還代表中國參加在英國倫敦舉行的世界演講比賽，今年到印度參加國際模聯比賽，獲得最佳代表稱號。

豐富的興趣愛好、課外活動并沒有影響諸康妮學習成績的優秀，她托福考了117分（滿分是120分）。談到學習經，諸康妮坦言上課時必須要專心，做到高效率的學習，習題只是一種輔助學習的手段。無論是興趣愛好、學科還是學校，諸康妮都一直選擇最適合自己的，她認為這樣才能達到雙贏的效果。

興趣廣泛的校園明星

性格外向的諸康妮喜歡站在舞臺上的感覺，這也是她為什么喜歡主持、辯論。當然，這并非天生而來的興趣，其中媽媽的功勞最大。諸康妮告訴記者，她念幼兒園時很害羞，媽媽為此專門找了幼兒園老師，希望能讓女兒得到上臺鍛煉的機會，而諸康妮的主持人“生涯”也就從那時開始的。

諸康妮的興趣廣泛，獲得跆拳道的紅黑帶、鋼琴7級，喜歡游泳、滑冰和瑜伽，特別鐘情哲學。她從小喜歡讀薩特的書，初中就看完了哲學史，上了高一后，了解到學校沒有一個哲學社團，便和3個同學創辦起哲學社，“現在的人普遍比較浮躁，學習哲學能讓人靜下來思考一些東西”。諸康妮說。她還喜歡心理學，看了很多佛洛依德的書。當然她也有“死穴”，“我體育很差，考試時拼了老命才考了個c+。”

高效率完成課業做到舉一反三

在初中階段，她每次考試幾乎都是排名第一，談起自己的學習經驗，諸康妮說上課一定要精力專注，在課堂上做到高效率的學習后，就不用給課外增加學習負擔。同時她還喜歡做計劃，她從初中一年級開始就會在每個月的月初做出接下來一個月每天的學習計劃。

她還會買教材全解，只做上面的例題，因為例題會比較經典，做透了的話能起到“舉一反三”的作用。她說雖然不是每門課程她都喜歡，但還是會認真學習，“做任何事情對你今后可能都有用，在你不確定今后的情況下，打好基礎還是有必要的。”

在學習英語方面，諸康妮說，她的方法就是看英語原版電影，閱讀英語原版小說。此外，她還認為學習語言起步階段很重要，“像我當時是在雙語幼兒園上的學，可能有一些好處吧。” 國外大學比較注重學生的綜合素質、領袖能力、獨立思考能力等，因此很多學生通過活動來鍛煉自己這些方面的能力，但也有些學生是為了在留學申請上寫參加了什么活動而來參加活動。“我在模擬聯合會上演講時就說，如果你僅僅是為了在申請書上寫自己參加這個活動而來的，那就不用來了。”諸康妮說，國外的大學會看重學生在活動中得到了什么、語言、組織等能力有沒有得到鍛煉，而不是僅僅看參加了什么活動。所以她建議同學們要根據自己的興趣來選擇所參加的課外實踐活動。

諸康妮建議每個同學按照自己的特點來選擇符合自己性格的大學，而不是僅僅看排名，“適合自己最重要。”

“放養式”教育培養獨立性

談及父母對自己的教育方式，諸康妮說小學3年級以前父母對她管得比較“緊”，為了培養她好的習慣，父母每天督促著她學習。而當她“嚴于律己”的習慣養成后，父母便放手讓她獨立思考、自主發展。于是3年級之后，她接受的更像是一種“放養式”的教育，父母不大干涉她的事情，包括學習、結交朋友、規劃自己的發展方向等等。父母也不給她任何的壓力，她的壓力更多的來自于自己對自己的要求，“她們知道如果我考不好，我都過不了自己這關。”

諸康妮告訴記者，她和父母的關系更像是朋友，她在家里也算是“意見領袖”之一，家里去哪旅行等一些事情都要聽取她的意見。諸康妮說，父母一定要給孩子足夠的空間，培養他們的獨立性。諸康妮現在已經決定到哥倫比亞學習經濟和數學專業，同時輔修哲學專業。談及為何會做出此種“搭配”，她說，經濟是比較偏社會學的科目，而數學比較量化，兩種學科有著不同的思維方式，讓她可以更好的理解世界，而且這兩種思維也可以互相支持。而選擇哲學，是因為很感興趣，對一生都有幫助。

楊粵祺：

要對學習生活有所規劃

楊粵祺的爸爸、媽媽經常帶她去國外旅游，歐洲、澳大利亞、日本、東南亞、美國等很多地方她都去過。“有一種內心向往外面世界的欲望，想以后在國外發展。”楊粵祺笑著說。這個披著長發、看起來有點瘦小的女孩對自己在學習方面要求嚴格并知道如何做出規劃。從小學到初中，她的成績都保持在班級前三名。因為她明白要出國留學必須考上一個好的高中。上了高中后，她預留了更多時間參加課外活動，以便培養自己的“創新、獨立思考、領導力”等能力。談及學習方法時，楊粵祺說重要的是要“高效率”，“寫作業時就寫作業，別想其他事情”。在楊粵祺看來，不管做什么事情都要找到自己的熱情和擅長之所在，不能盲目的隨大流。

注重分階段發展

從小學到初中，楊粵祺80%的精力用在學業上，“畢竟要先考到一個好的高中”，剩下的時間和精力會參加校學生會的一些活動，還有就是跟學長們聊他們的經驗，搜索信息，以便對高中學習生活做出合理且有針對性的規劃。她了解到，如果想出國，要注重發展自己的綜合素質，有領導力、與眾不同、懂得創新、有目標，這些都是國外高校所看重的。盡管能被保送到重點高中，但她認為自己更適合在深中自由的環境下培養發展自己，所以便放棄保送，考取深中國際體系。

在高中，楊粵祺更多的將時間留給了參加一些實踐活動。“我用50%的精力完成課業，準備升學考試，騰出來的50%精力用來做自己更喜歡、想探索的事情。”高一時她和同學創辦翻譯雜志，她主要負責選稿、市場推廣等工作。“同學們選好文章、排好版，等著下月出版，但我還沒有拉到贊助。壓力很大。”楊粵祺說，為了拉幾千元的贊助，她曾在短時間內跑了深圳幾十家跟教育有關的機構。楊粵祺對商業與設計的結合非常感興趣。高二下學期她在學校開辦了一個公司，在尋找商機的過程中，她發現深中學生的校園榮譽感很強，便想到做一些既能展示學校榮譽感，且美觀又實用的東西，最終她將腕帶和優盤結合起來，上面還印有深圳中學的logo。想法出來后，楊粵祺和其他同學一起設計，還聯系學校附近的電子廠生產該產品，在學校推廣。因此她還被選拔代表中國參加在印尼舉行的亞太地區青少年商業比賽。

楊粵祺還曾在深中的咖啡屋內當過一年的廚師，做奶茶的技藝是學長學姐教給她的。她告訴記者，在高中參加的這些活動都是她喜歡的，極大程度上鍛煉了她，也因此培養了自己的獨立思考和領導能力。

找到自己熱情和擅長之所在高效的學習是楊粵祺一直奉行的宗旨，此外，她還認為到了高中除了上學校的課程完成課業外，自己要為自己“開課”，了解哲學、宗教等不同的領域。對于英語，楊粵祺有自己的一套學習方法，她認為學習不能太應試，多讀一些英語原著、背誦一些篇目都是不錯的英語學習選擇。開始時選擇一些薄、簡單、情節吸引人的英語讀物學習，“不要貪數量，要真正讀懂，讀完一整頁后沒讀懂，可以上網查下這頁到底講了什么，以此來印證自己到底理解了多少，有多少是錯誤的。”楊粵祺還會制訂學習計劃表，每段時間都有需要優先處理的事情。“比如今年五月我有三場考試，那我四五月可能就主攻考試，處于‘閉關’學習的狀態，而二三月份，我會參加活動多一些，比如去做演講，講自己申請大學的過程，或者輔導學弟學妹，處于‘出關’狀態。” 在楊粵祺看來，不管做什么事情都要找到自己的熱情和擅長之所在，不能盲目的隨大流。“像現在出國風潮越來越火，一些學生在選擇活動方面會跟風，千萬不能為了做活動而做，因為這樣做在浪費你的精力，做不開心的事情，很難有熱情，也很難讓你與眾不同。當你將有限的精力放在你不喜歡的事情上，就少了嘗試別的事情的機會，你不知道自己在哪一方面更感興趣、更有能力。” 據了解，楊粵祺去賓夕法尼亞大學沃頓商學院學的是商科，她告訴記者會考慮輔修第二專業。對于父母對她的教育方式，楊粵祺用“平等交流”來形容，因為她和父母之間大部分時間是朋友的關系。

任思遠：

享受學習帶來的痛苦與歡樂

很多初識任思遠的人會用“陽光、帥氣、有主見”來形容這個高三男生。盡管他說自己跟其他同學沒什么兩樣，比他厲害的同學還有很多，盡管他說自己沒什么獨特的學習方法，他之所以能夠取得這樣的成績都是學校培養出來的。但因為同時被美國8所名校看中，任思遠還是成為了很多人矚目的焦點。對于將要選擇哪所大學，任思遠尚未決定，但根據他此前的說法，大概會在耶魯大學或哥倫比亞大學中選取一個。面對師弟師妹的“取經”，他簡單的回答說要學會“享受”而不是“享樂”生活，要享受學習給你帶來的痛苦和快樂，然后沿著自己的道路堅定地走下去。

善于發現機遇抓住機遇

他的“與眾不同”也可以從一個小細節中看出，在近日深圳中學召開的一場記者會上，有記者問他如何申請美國名校，有何經驗以及最終如何在耶魯大學和哥倫比亞大學之間作出選擇？任思遠說，“沒什么特別的，申請也就那么幾個步驟”“還沒想好最終要選擇哪個，或許你有什么好的建議嗎？”他幽默的反問惹得在場人士紛紛發笑。

任思遠說，他的出國選擇，源于一次中考說明會。當時正在考慮保送的他，被深圳中學的出國課程吸引，也很好奇國外的學習生活，于是和父母商量后便進入了深中的國際課程體系，開始為出國做準備。

如何取得“sat2200分（滿分2400分），托福118分（滿分120分），績點4.2”一連串的高分、如何能夠被國外頂尖大學錄取，這是大家最想了解的。談及為何會被美國頂尖名校“看上”，任思遠說：“大概我能清楚地認識自己、發掘自己吧。清楚認識自己是指能認識到機遇，并且抓住它。”他還告訴記者，在學校學習有挑戰性的ap課程以及參加各式各樣的活動和實踐其實都是在為申請國外大學做很好的準備。

學習語言的關鍵在于定目標

任思遠的英語特別好，他還在初中時自學德語，并積極參加德語社活動，他曾受德國政府資助去德國學習了三個星期的德語。關于語言的學習，任思遠說自己的經驗是定目標，將目光放得長遠一些，“當時我就想成為一名英語播音員，然后經常聽voa練習口語。”說起學習英語，他非常感謝爸爸。上初中時，他的mp3里都是爸爸幫他弄的voa朗讀文章，爸爸還會在周末陪他一起大聲讀英語。

第五篇：21世紀英語演講諸康妮演講稿

17歲深圳外國語學校高三學生諸康妮，收到了7所美國高校錄取書。不久前她還參加了湖南衛視脫口秀節目《天天向上》，還展示了一段演講。現在我們就來一睹她完整版演講比賽的風采吧。

Discover Yourself

Ever since the accelerated development of human civilization, perpetual scientific discoveries of nature had accompanied mankind all along the journey.It was by discovering the world around us that human beings have been able to lead a more sophisticated life.However, as G.K.Chesterton once said, “One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego;the self is more distant than any star.” Similarly, our life is a journey of unrelenting efforts to discover more of ourselves.When I was 6 I constantly pictured myself as an elegant and skilled pianist rendering Chopin’s nocturne beautifully on the stage, receiving warm applause after my

performance.As I furthered my piano lessons, it was hard to be oblivious of my non-gifted skills.Sometimes I couldn’t help but have this feeling of despair when I woke up to the reality and discovered that my goal was unrealistic.Brutal but real, it was the first time I had discovered that I couldn’t have it all.When I was 12 I thought the coolest job in the entire universe was to be a surgeon.I spent hours and hours watching the drama “Grey’s Anatomy”, and couldn’t help falling in love with the kind of life those doctors lead on the screen.I was utterly mesmerized by the scalpel and all those fancy medical terms they use.However, I stopped dreaming about being a surgeon when I discovered that it was the idea of being a surgeon that appealed to me, not what it truly was.Therefore, the dream ended and I discovered some more about myself.This year I turned 16, I could proudly say I do not dream to be but ascertain to pursue being a lawyer in the future.Since junior high school I was always awarded the “most eloquent debater” in every single debate I participated in.I cannot only think logically but also deliver my thoughts promptly.My huge interest in philosophy also adds to my

reasoning whenever I tried to argue on something equivocal.Being aware of the obstacles and hardships on the way to becoming a great lawyer never panics me, for the simple reason that I have this faith and passion in what I am aspiring after.G.K.Chesterton was absolutely correct, the most complicated part of comprehending the world is the study of the somehow smaller world—ourselves.I subsequently realized that growing up is the process of discovering ourselves;we get to know what we truly are, and become who we dream to be.As we shape ourselves, and as we shape our lives, we gradually become more aware of our limits and potentials and consequently learn to

adjust to what’s out there.And by that, ladies and gentleman, I’m proud to say that I’ve discovered part of myself, still discovering today standing on this stage, and hopefully a lot more in the future.I will always keep this embedded into my heart that things do not change, we do.
