演講視頻Have you ever bought any food on the train? And do you ask for the receipt after buying it? Nowadays, all trains in China provide its passengers with receipts for commodities, but 7 years ago, things were quite different.On 13th of October, 2004, the train T109 from Beijing to Shanghai was speeding on the railway.A graduate student bought a sausage at 1 yuan on the train, then asked for a receipt.“Are you kidding? It?s just one yuan!” The crew member was surprised.The student, however, answered in a determined voice, “I paid the money, so I deserve the receipt.”

“But we never give receipts on the train.? As a result, his further request was turned down by a cold shoulder.Several days later, the student sued the National Railway Ministry, for not providing receipts forpassengers.To his dismay, the court turned down the case for lack of evidence.But he, who majored in law at that time, believed law as a most powerful weapon, so he did not give up.Instead, he began his journey of collecting first-hand evidence by taking trains and buying commodities aboard.When his classmates were playing soccer, he was taking the train;When his classmates were buying food at Mcdonald?s, he was buying food on the train;When his classmates were asking girls out, he was asking for the receipts.As he joked, ?I was either taking the train or on the way to take the train.?

One month later, he appeared in the court again, with newly-collected evidence and a stronger confidence.And I guess, ladies and gentlemen, you will all cheer for the result because this time, the student won the case.Very soon, a regulation about receipts on the train came out.And whatever we buy on the train now, there?s a receipt for us.Outside the court, the student was asked, “How do you make it to the end?” He said, “As a law student, I root my faith in law.I believe that law is there, to protect every person with no exception, and to ensure every person has a say.”

His words spread a strong faith in law, which is not only a doctrine of a law student, but also a belief that all citizens ought to hold.It is this faith that initiates the student to resort to law for a tiny issue;it is this faith that supports him to endure all the exhausting trips when collecting evidence;It is this faith that makes a seemingly “ridiculous” receipt request legal and rightful.It is this faith that helps to change our life, enhance our judicial system and bring social justice.To many, a receipt of 1 yuan is too small to mention, however rights are to be respected and law is to be believed in.It all starts with a tiny receipt of 1 yuan, but we get a monumental case, a new regulation and a bumper harvest in social justice.The bridge that leads a tiny start to a bumper harvest is faith, the faith in law, rightful and strong.你曾經(jīng)買過(guò)火車的食物？和你要收據(jù)后購(gòu)買？如今，所有列車的乘客在中國(guó)提供收據(jù)的商品，但是7年前，事情是完全不同的。

在十月的第十三個(gè)，2004個(gè)，從北京到上海的火車t109超速行駛的火車。研究生1元買了香腸的火車上，然后要求一個(gè)收據(jù)。

你逗我呢吧？這只是一個(gè)元！“船員驚訝。

學(xué)生，然而，在一個(gè)確定的聲音回答，“我付了錢，所以我應(yīng)得的收據(jù)。”

“但我們不給發(fā)票上火車。”因此，他進(jìn)一步的請(qǐng)求被拒絕的一個(gè)冷肩膀。

幾天以后，學(xué)生狀告國(guó)家鐵道部，沒(méi)有提供收據(jù)的乘客。

但令他沮喪的是，法院拒絕了該案缺乏證據(jù)。但他，他主修的是當(dāng)時(shí)的法律，認(rèn)為法律是一個(gè)最有力的武器，所以他并沒(méi)有放棄。相反，他開始了他的旅程采集第一手證據(jù)以火車和購(gòu)買商品上。當(dāng)他的同學(xué)們踢足球，他乘火車；當(dāng)他的同學(xué)們買吃的麥當(dāng)勞，他買了火車上的食物；當(dāng)他的同學(xué)們問(wèn)女孩，他問(wèn)的收據(jù)。他開玩笑說(shuō)，“我是乘火車還是乘火車的方式。” 一個(gè)月后，他出現(xiàn)在法庭上，與newly-collected證據(jù)和較強(qiáng)的信心。我猜，女士們先生們，你們都會(huì)歡呼，結(jié)果因?yàn)檫@個(gè)時(shí)候，學(xué)生勝訴。很快，一個(gè)調(diào)節(jié)收入上火車了。無(wú)論我們買火車上呢，有一個(gè)收據(jù)，我們。

法庭外，學(xué)生問(wèn)，“你是怎么做的到底是什么呢？“他說(shuō)，”作為一個(gè)法律系的學(xué)生，我的根我的法律信仰。我相信法律是保護(hù)每個(gè)人，無(wú)一例外，并確保每個(gè)人都有說(shuō)。”

他的話展開強(qiáng)大的法律信仰，它不僅是一種學(xué)說(shuō)的一個(gè)法律系學(xué)生，但也認(rèn)為，所有公民都應(yīng)當(dāng)把握。正是這種信念，倡導(dǎo)學(xué)生訴諸法律的一小的問(wèn)題；它是這個(gè)信念，支持他忍受所有的排氣旅行時(shí)收集證據(jù)；正是這種信念使看似“荒謬”的回執(zhí)要求法律和合法。正是這種信念，有助于改變我們的生活，提高我們的司法系統(tǒng)，帶來(lái)社會(huì)正義。

許多，一收到1元太小提，然而權(quán)利得到尊重和法律是要相信。這一切都始于一個(gè)小收到1元，但我們得到了一個(gè)巨大的情況下，一個(gè)新的規(guī)則和豐收社會(huì)正義。橋梁，導(dǎo)致一小開始豐收是信仰，法律信仰，合法的和強(qiáng)大的。

Our Future: A Battle between Dreams and Reality

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:

When I was in the primary school, I have a dream.I want to invent a device which could bring you from one place to another in no time at all.When I was in the secondary school, my dream was to study in my ideal university.And when eventually I got into the university, my dream was to graduate.How pathetic!When we grow up, we dream less and become more realistic.Why? Why do we have to change our dreams, so, so in order to let it be “fulfilled”? Why do we have to surrender to the so-called “reality”? What IS the reality actually?

Ladies and gentlemen, the reality is not real.It is a barrier keeping us from all the possible fantasies.Flying, for example, had been a dream to mankind for thousands of years.A hundred years ago, “man could not fly” was still regarded as the “reality”.Now if that was really the reality, what did the Wright brothers do? How did some of you get to Macau? Only when we believe that the reality is not real can we soar with our dreams.People say that our future is a battle between the reality and our dreams.And if, unfortunately, Mr.Reality wins this war, then I see no future of mankind at all.AIDS will never be curable as this IS the reality;People living in the undeveloped countries will suffer from starvation forever as this IS the reality;4)Disputes among different countries would never be settled as this misunderstandings and intolerance IS the reality.Ladies and gentlemen, how many of you have a dream of being able to make a lot of money? Please raise your hands.Oh, quite a number of you!Actually, ladies and gentlemen, this is not a dream, but a task.Every one of us has to make a living, right? Anyway I hope your task will be accomplished.How many of you think that you have already fulfilled your dream and that you don't dream anymore? Dear 5)adjudicators, what do you think? C.S.Lewis once said, “You are never too old to dream a new dream.” So for our future, please dream and be unrealistic.Now that I am a university student, my goal is to graduate with excellences.But at the same time, I have a dream deeply rooted in our future.One day, people living in the areas now 6)sweltering with the horror of wars will be able to sit with their families and enjoy their every moment.One day, people from the rich countries are willing to share what they have with those from the poor countries and those from the poor countries will eventually be able to make their own happy living themselves.One day, different cultures in this age of globalization will coexist with tolerance and the unfriendly confrontations among them will be 7)eliminated.One day, the globe will share the dream with me and we will all contribute to making our dream come true.One day, our dream will defeat the reality!Thank you very much.第十屆“21世紀(jì)·外教社杯”全國(guó)英語(yǔ)演講比賽冠軍-南京大學(xué)夏鵬

From Walls to Bridges

I'm studying in a city famous for its walls.All visitors to my city are amazed by the imposing sight of the city walls, silhouetted by the setting sun with gold and shining lines.With old, cracked bricks patched with lichen, the walls are weather-beaten guards, standing still for centuries in protecting the city.Our ancestors liked to build walls.They built walls in Beijing, Xi'an, Nanjing and many other cities, and they built the Great Wall, which snakes through half of our country.They built walls to ward off enemies and evil spirits.This tradition has been maintained to this day as we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public.I grew up at the foot of the city walls, and I've loved them since my childhood.For a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world.My perception, however, changed after a hiking trip to the Eastern Suburbs, a scenic area of my city.My classmates and I were walking with some international students.As we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by taller and taller trees, which formed a huge canopy above our heads.Suddenly an international student asked me, “Where is the entrance to the Eastern Suburbs?”

“We're already in the Eastern Suburbs,” I replied.He seemed taken aback, “I thought you Chinese have walls for everything.” His remark set off a heated debate.At one point, he likened our walled cities to “jails,” while I insisted that the Eastern Suburbs were one of the many places in China that had no walls.That debate had no winners, but I did learn a lot from this international student.For instance, he told me that universities like Oxford and Cambridge were not surrounded by walls;the campuses were just part of the cities.I have to admit that we do have many walls in China, and as we are developing our country, we must carefully examine them, whether they are physical or intangible.We will keep some walls but tear down those that impede China's development.Let me give you an example.A year ago, when I was working on a term paper, I needed a book on business law and found a copy in the law school library.However, the librarian turned down my request with a cold shoulder, saying, “You can't borrow this book, you are not a student here.” In the end, I had to spend 200 Yuan buying a copy;meanwhile, the copy in law school was gathering dust on the shelf.At the beginning of this semester, I heard that my university has started not only to unify its libraries but also link them up with libraries of other universities, so my experience will not be repeated.Barriers will be replaced by bridges.Through an inter-library loan system, we will have access to books from any library.With globalization, with China integrated into the world, I believe many of these intangible walls will be knocked down.I know globalization is a controversial issue, and it is hard to say whether it is good or bad.But one thing is for sure: it draws our attention to China's tangible and intangible walls and forces us to examine their roles in the modern world.And how about the ancient walls in my city and other cities? Should we tear them down? Just the opposite.My city, like Beijing and other cities, is actually making a great effort to preserve the walls.These walls attract not only historians and archeologists but also many schoolchildren trying to study our history and cultural heritage.Walls have turned into bridges to our past and to the rest of the world.If the ancient builders of these walls were still alive today, they would be proud to see such great change in the role of their walls.They are now bridges that link East and West, South and North, and all countries of the world.Our cultural heritage will survive globalization.第九屆“21世紀(jì)·外教社杯”全國(guó)英語(yǔ)演講比賽冠軍-南京大學(xué)洪曄

The Doors that are Open to Us

Good morning ladies and 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 and 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, and 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, and 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 and 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.And 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 and on Shakespearean drama.As for myself, I am 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 and 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 and national boundaries.My aunt remembers her previous college days as monotonous and even calls her generation “frogs in a well.” But today, as the world becomes a global village, it is important that our neighbors and we be open-minded to learn with and from each other.I have many fellow international classmates, and 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, and 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 and determination, she embodies both tradition and 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, and the challenge of learning continuously while carrying heavy responsibilities to our work and family.So, each door is a test of our courage, ability and judgment, but with the support of my teachers, parents, friends and 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 and will, in the remainder of my life, walk through many more.Possibly I will go back to college, too.Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.第八屆“21世紀(jì)·愛立信杯”全國(guó)英語(yǔ)演講比賽冠軍-上海外國(guó)語(yǔ)大

A Scene to Remember

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.Today I would like to begin with a story.There was once a physical 1)therapist(臨床醫(yī)學(xué)家)who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a 2)census(調(diào)查)about mountain 3)gorillas(大猩猩).These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world;this put them severely under threat of 4)poaching(偷獵)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 we've ever been, where in the very depth of the African rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas 5)cuddled(擁抱)their babies。

Yes, that's 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 6)timeless(永恒的)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 people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go.It has become a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in GDP growth.It has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity.But on the other hand, many problems can occur---natural scenes aren't natural anymore.Deforestation to heat lodges is devastating Nepal.Oil spills from tourist boats are polluting Antarctica.Tribal people are forsaking their native music and dress to listen to U2 on Walkman and wear Nike and Reeboks.All these 7)appalling(令人震驚的)facts have brought us to the realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been 8)eroding(侵蝕)our resources.Encouragingly, the explosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the United Nations has made 2002 the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the world's attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our ecoenvironment.Now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection organizations an: receiving donations--big notes, small notes or even coins--from housewives, 9)plumbers(水管工人), ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and 10)invalids(殘疾人), Some of them can not afford to send the money but they do.These are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood.Why? Because they care.Because they still want their Mother Nature back.Because they know it still belongs to them.This kind of feeling that I have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it, it's all coming from a scene to remember, a scene to recall and to cherish.The other night, as l saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs.I found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to some-thing else, someplace else.a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seem to have been except the deer.And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's lime for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.Once again, I have come to think of Mrs.Dian Fossey be-cause it's with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.And no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our mind, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.Thank you very much.

21世紀(jì)?愛立信杯“全國(guó)英語(yǔ)演講比賽冠軍得主的演講稿:

To me March 28th was a lucky day.It was on that particular evening that I found myself at central stage, in the spotlight.Winning the ”21st Century?Ericsson Cup“ Seventh National English Speaking Competition is a memory that I shall treasure and on that will surely stay.More important than winning the Cup is the friendship that has been established and developed among the contestants, and the chance to communicate offstage in addition to competing onstage.Also the competition helps boost public speaking in China, a skill hitherto undervalued.For me, though, the competition is a more personal experience.Habitually shy, I had been reluctant to take part in any such activities.Encouraged by my friends, however, I made a last-minute decision to give it a try.In the course of preparation I somehow rediscovered myself, a truer me.I found that, after all, I like communicating with other people;that exchanging views can be so much fun―and so much rewarding, both emotionally and intellectually;that public speaking is most effective when you are least guarded;and that it is essential to success in every walk of life.At a more practical level, I realized knowing what you are going to say and how you are going to say it are equally important.To take the original ideas out of your head and transplant them, so to speak, to that of others, you need to have an organized mind.This ability improves with training.Yet there should not be any loss or addition or distortion in the process.Those ideas that finally find their ways in to s another head need to be recognizably yours.Language is a means to transmit information, not a means to obstruct communication.It should be lucid to be penetrating.In China, certain public speaking skills have been unduly emphasized.Will it really help, we are compelled to ask, to bang at the podium or yell at the top of your lungs, if you have come with a poorly organized speech, a muddled mind, and unwillingness to truly share your views Above all, the single most important thing I learnt was that as a public speaker, you need to pay attention, first and foremost, to the content of your speech.And second, the structure of your speech: how one idea relates and progresses to another.Only after these come delivery and non-verbal communication: speed control, platform manner, and so on.Pronunciation is important, yet of greater importance is this: Is your language competent enough to express your ideas exactly the way you intend them to be understood I was informed afterwards that I was chosen to be the winner for my ”appropriately worded speech, excellent presence and quick-witted response“.In so remarking, the judges clearly showed their preference: they come to listen for meaningful ideas, not for loose judgments, nor easy laughers.Some contestants failed to address their questions head on.Some were able to, but did not knows where s to stop the dragging on betrayed their lack of confidence.The root cause was that they did not listen attentively to the questions.Or they were thinking of what they had prepared.As I said in my speech, ”It is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking...to take them [issues like globalization] on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way“.We need to respond honestly.A competition like this draws talented students from all over the country.And of course, I learnt more things than just about public speaking.Since in the final analysis, public speaking is all about effective communication.And this goes true for all communications, whatever their setting.And the following is the final version of my speech: GLOBALIZATION:

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES FOR CHINA'S YOUNGER GENERATION Thirty years ago, American President Richard Nixon made an epoch-making visit to China, a country still isolated at that time.Premier Zhou Enlai said to him, ”Your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world twenty-five years of no communication“.Thirty years since, China and America have exchanged many handshakes.The fundamental implication of this example is that the need to communicate across differences in culture and ideology is not only felt by the two countries but by many other nations as well.As we can see today, environmentalists from different countries are making joint efforts to address the issue of global warming, economists are seeking solutions to financial crises that rage in a particular region but nonetheless cripple the world economy, and politicians and diplomats are getting together to discuss the issue of combating terrorism.Peace and prosperity has become a common goal that we are striving for all over the world.Underlying this mighty trend of global communication is the echo of E.M.Forster's words ”O(jiān)nly connect!" With the IT revolution, traditional boundaries of human society fall away.Our culture, politics, society and commerce are being sloshedsinto s one large melting pot of humanity.In this interlinked world, there are no outsiders, for a disturbance in one place is likely to impact other parts of the globe.We have begun to realize that a world divided cannot endure.China is now actively integrating in to s the world.Our recent entry to the WTO is a good example.For decades, we have taken pride in being self-reliant, but now we realize the importance of participating in and contributing to a broader economic order.From a precarious role in the world arena to our present WTO membership, we have come a long way.But what does the way ahead look like In some parts of the world people are demonstrating against globalization.Are they justified, then, in criticizing the globalizing world Instead of narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, they say, globalization enables the developed nations to swallow the developing nations' wealth in debts and interest.Globalization, they argue, should be about a common interest in every other nation's economic health.We are reminded by Karl Marx that capital goes beyond national borders and eludes control from any other entity.This has become a reality.Multinational corporations are seeking the lowest cost, the largest market, and the most favorable policy.They are often powerful lobbyists in government decision-making, ruthless expansionists in the global market and a devastating presence to local businesses.For China, still more challenges exist.How are we going to ensure a smooth transition from the planned economy to a market-based one How to construct a legal system that is sound enough and broad enough to respond to the needs of a dynamic society How to maintain our cultural identity in an increasingly homogeneous world And how to define greatness in our rise as a peace-loving nation Globalization entails questions that concern us all.Like many young people my age in China, I want to see my country get prosperous and enjoy respect in the international community.But it seems to me that mere patriotism is not just enough.It is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking and broaden our mind to bigger issues.There might never be easy answers to those issues such as globalization, but to take them on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way.This is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech.

童年

我大約是“21世紀(jì)杯”歷屆選手中的一個(gè)異數(shù)。生在新疆生產(chǎn)建設(shè)兵團(tuán)的一個(gè)小小的農(nóng)場(chǎng)里，在那里接受了從小學(xué)到初中的基礎(chǔ)教育，后來(lái)才轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)到農(nóng)場(chǎng)鄰近的一個(gè)小城。除了兒時(shí)在上海度過(guò)無(wú)憂無(wú)慮的兩年，絕大多數(shù)形成性經(jīng)歷（formative experience）其實(shí)都是在新疆獲得的。說(shuō)到新疆，我總會(huì)想起edward said筆下的東方(the orient)，因?yàn)槊看位厣虾ＳH戚家中，家人都會(huì)很為我的一切擔(dān)心，新疆在大多數(shù)人的心中，是連不毛之地都不如的，是的的確確的他者(the other)。可回想起來(lái)，我最重要的教育，就是在這粗獷的北方天空下

無(wú)憂無(wú)慮的成長(zhǎng)。小學(xué)時(shí)我熱愛天文地理。曾經(jīng)航行世界的爺爺經(jīng)常給我買地圖拼圖，并且親自考查我的地理知識(shí)。還在二年級(jí)之前，我就已經(jīng)把世界地圖冊(cè)翻爛了，并且記住了一個(gè)個(gè)自認(rèn)為美麗的地名：斯德哥爾摩、布宜諾斯艾利斯、雷克雅未克??為了看懂星圖，我開始一個(gè)人研究希臘神話。幸而小孩子的記憶力實(shí)在牢靠：我從來(lái)就沒(méi)有被希臘人長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的名字所嚇倒。十歲的時(shí)候，我已經(jīng)能夠辨認(rèn)北天可以看到的五十余個(gè)星座中的大多數(shù)了。新疆的夏夜短而清涼，我就等到月落后，在半夜爬起來(lái)去觀察星的移動(dòng)。新疆的天空高而澄澈，在我家附近只有一望無(wú)際的田地，絲毫沒(méi)有大都市特有的光污染。父親強(qiáng)迫我練字的時(shí)候我死活弄不明白的那句“仰觀宇宙之大，俯察品類之盛”似乎在繁密的群星中找到了最佳注解。

雖然當(dāng)醫(yī)生的父親特別在母親懷我的時(shí)候把莫扎特的音樂(lè)拿來(lái)做胎教，在當(dāng)時(shí)也算得上是開風(fēng)氣之先，但我們家里絕對(duì)沒(méi)有培養(yǎng)天才的宏愿。母親是英文教師，和父親一樣，主張我要有快樂(lè)的童年。參加合唱隊(duì)，學(xué)小提琴，我都半途而廢，老師很生氣地向父母告狀，他們則總是很固執(zhí)地認(rèn)為我需要休息，需要有自己的時(shí)間。現(xiàn)在看來(lái)，我父母似乎有著更加古怪的計(jì)劃。我的第一本童話書，竟然是英漢對(duì)照的英國(guó)民間故事集。腦子里面塞滿了科爾切斯特王國(guó)公主的三頭井，攀爬豆莖的杰克之類的奇談怪論，對(duì)于那漢語(yǔ)對(duì)面的洋字也有了興趣，母親就在我半睡半醒間開始教我英語(yǔ)。小學(xué)就晃晃悠悠地學(xué)完了初中教材，初中就開始學(xué)習(xí)那套堪稱經(jīng)典的new concept english（《新概念英語(yǔ)》）。我覺(jué)得自己是幸運(yùn)的，我一開始學(xué)的是國(guó)際音標(biāo)，拼音語(yǔ)言的魅力，讓8歲的我著迷。我從來(lái)沒(méi)有覺(jué)得英語(yǔ)里面有困難的讀音，也與這個(gè)有關(guān)。一開始，母親就讓我熟悉了英文的拼寫法和發(fā)音之間若隱若現(xiàn)的關(guān)系，以至于現(xiàn)在讓我一個(gè)字母一個(gè)字母地背誦單詞簡(jiǎn)直就是折磨——在我腦中，永遠(yuǎn)是一個(gè)一個(gè)的音節(jié)，而不是單個(gè)的字母。后來(lái)才知道，印歐語(yǔ)言都是拼音語(yǔ)言，和表意文字構(gòu)成的漢語(yǔ)相比，發(fā)音是非常重要的。印歐語(yǔ)言基本上都是“我手寫我口”，英文雖然在這方面例外多到了惡名昭著的地步，但仔細(xì)找規(guī)律，還是很容易弄通的。我的希臘神話也幫了忙：學(xué)習(xí)ocean這個(gè)單詞的時(shí)候，我想到了okeanos（希臘神話中的一個(gè)海神）；而helios（阿波羅手下的日神）也在英文中構(gòu)成了關(guān)乎太陽(yáng)的很多單詞。母親不僅要求我對(duì)國(guó)際音標(biāo)能夠達(dá)到得心應(yīng)手的純熟程度，還時(shí)常告訴我句子中邏輯重音跟意群等細(xì)節(jié)的重要性，要我每天大聲朗讀英文。后來(lái)學(xué)的東西多了，還要求背誦課文。《新概念英語(yǔ)》里面浸透著英國(guó)紳士那種內(nèi)斂的幽默，似乎就是在這個(gè)時(shí)候給我留下很深的印象。《新概念英語(yǔ)》是我最有感情的一套教材。第二冊(cè)的96篇課文成功地讓學(xué)生反復(fù)鞏固已經(jīng)獲得的語(yǔ)法知識(shí)。母親那個(gè)時(shí)候已經(jīng)開始讓我自學(xué)。手捧一本《牛津雙解》，我開始自?shī)首詷?lè)。我手頭還有外研社出的一本薄薄的小書，叫做《我是怎樣學(xué)外語(yǔ)的：25年學(xué)用16種外語(yǔ)經(jīng)驗(yàn)談》，作者卡莫?羅姆布(kamo lomb)是匈牙利的著名翻譯。這本書現(xiàn)在大約已經(jīng)絕版，實(shí)在是遺憾得很：我以為這本書是談外語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)的出版物中最深入淺出，也是最有見地的一本，可能只有后來(lái)商務(wù)出的《識(shí)途篇》可與之媲美。這本書讓我眼界大開，同時(shí)也廓清了自己學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)程當(dāng)中的重重迷霧，直到今天，我仍然在用這本書中介紹的方法學(xué)習(xí)外語(yǔ)，而且學(xué)習(xí)的語(yǔ)種也擴(kuò)大到了德文和法文。羅姆布的觀點(diǎn)從今天應(yīng)用語(yǔ)言學(xué)的觀點(diǎn)看來(lái)，是不新鮮的：學(xué)習(xí)外語(yǔ)應(yīng)該對(duì)語(yǔ)言學(xué)理論和文化底蘊(yùn)也感興趣，要與語(yǔ)言材料盡可能多做接觸以獲得(acquire)語(yǔ)言熟巧，從語(yǔ)言中學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)法而非相反等等。但在當(dāng)時(shí)的大環(huán)境下，她所推薦的方法和中學(xué)外語(yǔ)教學(xué)的主流是格格不入的，所以才顯得格外有趣。我從此丟棄了外語(yǔ)工具論的異端邪說(shuō)，開始將英文作為一種文化進(jìn)行學(xué)習(xí)。不僅關(guān)注語(yǔ)言現(xiàn)象，也 對(duì)英語(yǔ)國(guó)家的歷史、政治和社會(huì)大感興趣。我開始用短波收音機(jī)磕磕絆絆地收聽bbc world service的廣播。由于詞匯量有限，聽懂的東西少得可憐。可是父母非常鼓勵(lì)我，總是說(shuō)“灌耳音”對(duì)于學(xué)習(xí)外語(yǔ)是很有幫助的。果然我對(duì)語(yǔ)音的細(xì)微差別更加敏感了，聽力和口語(yǔ)都有一些提高。后來(lái)當(dāng)我第一次出國(guó)的時(shí)候，有人還提到我的語(yǔ)音有一點(diǎn)像bbc的某個(gè)播音員，看來(lái)耳濡目染的學(xué)習(xí)效果是不容忽視的。我是一個(gè)很愛看雜書的人。似懂非懂地啃完了弗拉馬立翁的《大眾天文學(xué)》，我又開始讀《圣經(jīng)故事》和《世界通史》的插圖版。有一次生病，母親離開家以前撂了一本英漢對(duì)照的簡(jiǎn)寫本《簡(jiǎn)?愛》給我。我很快就津津有味地讀完了中文部分，然后對(duì)自己喜歡的英文部分稍加留意。父親從上海給我買來(lái)各種童話和故事，還有一套當(dāng)時(shí)頗為昂貴的《莎士比亞戲劇故事集?插圖版》。現(xiàn)在我還很尷尬地記得，當(dāng)時(shí)最喜歡的是the merry wives of windsor（《溫莎的風(fēng)流娘兒們》）那種歡樂(lè)的氣氛。雜書看來(lái)是毫不相干的營(yíng)生，但仔細(xì)回想起來(lái)，我倒覺(jué)得比正規(guī)教育還有有用有趣。當(dāng)時(shí)有一套很全面的《百萬(wàn)個(gè)為什么?文科學(xué)生版》，是面向高中學(xué)生的，可我在初一的時(shí)候就迷上了。里面的《外語(yǔ)》分冊(cè)介紹了千奇百怪的語(yǔ)言現(xiàn)象。比如介紹語(yǔ)言的“可聽性”時(shí)說(shuō)，西班牙語(yǔ)像玉盤滾珠，德語(yǔ)像大炮，雖然不甚確切，倒也很有意思。我見識(shí)到了什么叫做“梵文天城體文字”，荷蘭語(yǔ)和佛萊芒語(yǔ)的區(qū)別是什么，同時(shí)也很驚喜地發(fā)現(xiàn)，拼音也可以做成方塊字，比方韓國(guó)語(yǔ)的“訓(xùn)民正音”系統(tǒng)。我在學(xué)習(xí)外語(yǔ)的初期，就未出現(xiàn)對(duì)“非我族類”語(yǔ)文的大驚小怪，德語(yǔ)很多詞類有陰性陽(yáng)性之分，甚至還有語(yǔ)法性和自然性的區(qū)別，在那時(shí)的我看來(lái)，就和新疆干旱的天氣一樣自然而然。在人間 初中的時(shí)候，我對(duì)英語(yǔ)基本上還是不痛不癢的感覺(jué)。每天看看《新概念》，查查單詞，做做題，基本上都屬于非做不可的household chores，還沒(méi)有上升到主動(dòng)積極的精神境界。那個(gè)時(shí)候，我擔(dān)任英語(yǔ)課代表，經(jīng)常給同學(xué)講解考試卷，自己本來(lái)就學(xué)得很透徹的語(yǔ)法也更加熟練了。雖然語(yǔ)法在后來(lái)成為了一個(gè)沉重的負(fù)擔(dān)，但在當(dāng)時(shí)，對(duì)于初學(xué)一門語(yǔ)言的少年來(lái)說(shuō)，清楚的語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)就如同林中路上光滑發(fā)亮的石子兒一樣，能夠把怯生生的亨舍爾和格雷特爾們從迷宮般的語(yǔ)言黑森林里面引領(lǐng)出來(lái)。后來(lái)到了愛爾蘭讀研究生才發(fā)現(xiàn)我是我們碩士班唯一一個(gè)知道如何正確使用虛擬語(yǔ)氣的人，雖然班上超過(guò)三分之二的人是英語(yǔ)母語(yǔ)者。學(xué)習(xí)外語(yǔ)需要靈活的頭腦，不是數(shù)學(xué)的頭腦，也不是哲學(xué)的頭腦，而是能夠生成音樂(lè)和意象的大腦。我從來(lái)不拘泥于一個(gè)語(yǔ)法特例，也不計(jì)較為什么慣用法和語(yǔ)法相互矛盾。我全心全意地接受母語(yǔ)者本能的指導(dǎo)，從不質(zhì)問(wèn)為什么母語(yǔ)者不用漢語(yǔ)的思路構(gòu)筑句子（中國(guó)學(xué)生最大的惡習(xí)）。我最感興趣的是英語(yǔ)和漢語(yǔ)之間奇妙的差別，并常常為一個(gè)個(gè)古靈精怪的英語(yǔ)句子感到興奮。可以說(shuō)，從很早開始，我就不知不覺(jué)地開始實(shí)踐“用英語(yǔ)思考”的理念，盡管《新概念》的編者l.g.alexander說(shuō)這個(gè)是不可能的。我堅(jiān)信他錯(cuò)了：學(xué)習(xí)外語(yǔ)的最重要任務(wù)便是在思考和語(yǔ)言之間建立直接的關(guān)系，不需要借助任何中介。一個(gè)用功的英語(yǔ)學(xué)生，可能不一定會(huì)達(dá)到完全用目的語(yǔ)思考的境界，但是部分的使用目的語(yǔ)作為思維載體，不僅是可能的，而且是必需的。語(yǔ)言不僅是思維的載體，而且還界定操這種語(yǔ)言者的思維。比方德國(guó)人和英國(guó)人的存在觀就會(huì)有出入：“有”這么一個(gè)基本的概念，英文是“there is??”但是德文就是“es gibt??”，所以英、德兩國(guó)的哲人運(yùn)思“存在”的概念就會(huì)有取向的差別。英、德兩種具有親緣關(guān)系的語(yǔ)言還有如此的分野，更不要說(shuō)中文和英文了。尼采在《善與惡的彼岸》中顯露出自己語(yǔ)文學(xué)家(philologist)的本來(lái)面目，寫了如下的句子：“語(yǔ)言的契合之處，由于存在著共通的語(yǔ)法哲學(xué)，也就是被相似的語(yǔ)法功能不自覺(jué)的指引和主導(dǎo)的情形下，從一開始就具備著發(fā)展出軌跡和序列相似的哲學(xué)系統(tǒng)的條件；同樣的形成某些其他的世界觀的可能性也因此被禁止了。”所以通過(guò)英語(yǔ)直接理解英語(yǔ)，是具備相當(dāng)水平的語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)者必須面對(duì)的挑戰(zhàn)。羅姆布的書里也提到，在學(xué)習(xí)的初期就要開始通過(guò)原文學(xué)習(xí)原文，這個(gè)后來(lái)被證明是經(jīng)典名言。

初三有機(jī)會(huì)參加全國(guó)中學(xué)生英語(yǔ)能力競(jìng)賽，拿到了新疆賽區(qū)的冠軍，到秦皇島參加生平第一次全國(guó)性英文演講比賽。為了準(zhǔn)備演講比賽，我很認(rèn)真地跟隨母親進(jìn)行訓(xùn)練。除了每天反復(fù)練習(xí)演講稿，看著鏡子校正臉部肌肉的運(yùn)動(dòng)，還要學(xué)習(xí)應(yīng)答很多日常問(wèn)題。那個(gè)時(shí)候，bbc的rp沒(méi)能抵擋住母親美式英語(yǔ)的沖擊，我的口音是地地道道的美音，連terrific這樣的詞，都掛在嘴邊上，顧盼自雄。后來(lái)在秦皇島獲得了初中組一等獎(jiǎng)的第四名，感到很僥幸。路過(guò)北京的時(shí)候在北大附中一位生物老師家中寄宿，他是父親的朋友。他很不客氣地對(duì)我說(shuō)：“你的獎(jiǎng)是照顧得來(lái)的。你們新疆的水平怎么可以和北京上海的相比？如果你在內(nèi)地比賽，一定拿不到這個(gè)賽區(qū)冠軍。”我那個(gè)時(shí)候便訝異于他這種低級(jí)的偏見，沒(méi)有對(duì)自己產(chǎn)生絲毫的懷疑。我記得在病中讀到的一句話，似乎是《簡(jiǎn)?愛》里面海倫開導(dǎo)被校長(zhǎng)布魯克爾赫斯特?zé)o端指責(zé)的簡(jiǎn)?愛時(shí)說(shuō)的：“哪怕這個(gè)世界都在指責(zé)你，只要你自己?jiǎn)栃臒o(wú)愧，就可以勇敢地昂起頭來(lái)。”雖然后來(lái)我對(duì)《簡(jiǎn)?愛》的文學(xué)價(jià)值有了更批判的認(rèn)識(shí)，但我永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)忘記這本小書給我的勇氣。當(dāng)時(shí)流行《走遍美國(guó)》，我看得正入迷，所以用a big fish in a small pond來(lái)自勉，倒也恰如其分。

高中基本上在《新概念英語(yǔ)》第三冊(cè)中度過(guò)了。高二時(shí)我突發(fā)奇想要從美音改成英音，于是開始了一項(xiàng)耗時(shí)巨大的工程。我愛上了bbc world service的節(jié)目。從newshour到uk top 20，從off the shelf到the world today，我把收聽廣播當(dāng)成了日課。在聽的同時(shí)我開始模仿播音員的發(fā)音，并把自己的朗讀錄下來(lái)，在反復(fù)聆聽中校正自己的發(fā)音。當(dāng)時(shí)我們有一位短期外教，來(lái)自英國(guó)約克。她很贊許我的口音，不過(guò)對(duì)我的“美國(guó)式”語(yǔ)調(diào)有所保留。這個(gè)問(wèn)題，要等到我上了大學(xué)才得到了根本性的解決。

從小學(xué)到高中，母親是我的英文啟蒙老師。雖然自己學(xué)得懵懵懂懂，但基本的語(yǔ)言知識(shí)都學(xué)到了。英文的學(xué)習(xí)很大程度上是“童子功”，需要長(zhǎng)時(shí)間、高頻度的單調(diào)重復(fù)和溫習(xí)。很多人都自以為得之矣，實(shí)際上只是“知道”而不是“熟稔”，所以無(wú)法達(dá)到語(yǔ)言和思維親密無(wú)間的更高境界。簡(jiǎn)單的語(yǔ)法現(xiàn)象要在語(yǔ)言實(shí)踐中化為條件反射，基礎(chǔ)的詞匯都要強(qiáng)制記憶，更重要的是，要在一開始就養(yǎng)成學(xué)習(xí)外語(yǔ)的良好習(xí)慣和心態(tài)，以便將來(lái)能夠主動(dòng)地為自己設(shè)計(jì)外語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)課程，這里擇要概述。首先，學(xué)習(xí)外語(yǔ)不可以有中斷，每天都必須投入至少一小時(shí)的時(shí)間，否則就將體會(huì)到?jīng)]有絲毫進(jìn)步的挫折感。閱讀是學(xué)習(xí)外語(yǔ)的安身立命之本，沒(méi)有大量的閱讀，不可能在非母語(yǔ)環(huán)境中培養(yǎng)精細(xì)的語(yǔ)感。聽力要多鍛煉，哪怕似懂非懂的“灌耳音”都是非常有益的。其次，必須了解語(yǔ)言習(xí)得的規(guī)律，為自己的可持續(xù)性外語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)提供堅(jiān)實(shí)的科學(xué)基礎(chǔ)。要細(xì)心地觀察所學(xué)外語(yǔ)的潛在規(guī)律，在語(yǔ)言現(xiàn)象中主動(dòng)地總結(jié)語(yǔ)法和用法規(guī)則，這樣才能內(nèi)化(internalise)一門外語(yǔ)。第三，要有包容開放的心態(tài)，充分地進(jìn)入異文化的內(nèi)核，從根本上解讀外語(yǔ)的生存環(huán)境。

其實(shí)上面的建議是對(duì)中國(guó)目前盛行的“消極掌握外語(yǔ)”理念和實(shí)踐的反駁與批判。單單追求考試通過(guò)而拒絕下功夫掌握外語(yǔ)是愚蠢的。

很多培訓(xùn)學(xué)校都有諸如“聽力技巧”的課程，教人如何“應(yīng)付”聽力考試。他們通過(guò)邏輯的分析可以很大程度上預(yù)測(cè)答案，但是當(dāng)你真正能夠聽懂，就根本不需要引入這些不蔓不枝的繁雜“方法”了。想要針對(duì)某項(xiàng)考試消極地掌握外語(yǔ)，不但要在所謂應(yīng)試技巧方面浪費(fèi)很多的時(shí)間，而且一定會(huì)在需要應(yīng)用外語(yǔ)的場(chǎng)合左支右絀。說(shuō)來(lái)說(shuō)去，一門語(yǔ)言的習(xí)得，是一種下意識(shí)的培養(yǎng)，是一種不需要在腦中為了一個(gè)語(yǔ)法現(xiàn)象糾纏不清、一眼就可以判斷語(yǔ)言樣本是否正確得體的能力。這種能力是衡量外語(yǔ)水準(zhǔn)的唯一有效標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，絕非一兩次標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化考試就能夠測(cè)評(píng)出來(lái)的。

我的大學(xué)

中國(guó)學(xué)生對(duì)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化考試是無(wú)計(jì)可逃的，在參加高考之后我走進(jìn)了上海外國(guó)語(yǔ)大學(xué)。其實(shí)也是事出偶然：我的戶口高中時(shí)代就轉(zhuǎn)回上海，必須返滬參加高考，而上海高考填報(bào)志愿是在考試之前，這給所有人出了一道難題。我本來(lái)有意報(bào)考復(fù)旦大學(xué)世界經(jīng)濟(jì)系，不過(guò)在考前咨詢會(huì)上碰到的復(fù)旦老師一聽說(shuō)我在新疆接受中等教育，不約而同地說(shuō)：“我們不在新疆招生。”他們似乎急于打消莘莘學(xué)子對(duì)復(fù)旦的敬仰。倒是上外的老師們和藹可親，尤其是虞建華教授給我留下了極為深刻的印象。琢磨了半天，終于決定把第一志愿填為上外的國(guó)際經(jīng)濟(jì)法和英語(yǔ)兩個(gè)專業(yè)，我最終走進(jìn)了上外嬌小玲瓏的校園。命運(yùn)輪的流轉(zhuǎn)讓一切雄心勃勃的計(jì)劃都黯然失色，而我卻從這次選擇中受益終生。

甫進(jìn)大學(xué)，就感到自己的英文學(xué)習(xí)進(jìn)入了一個(gè)“瓶頸”，就是季羨林先生說(shuō)的“平臺(tái)期”，跳過(guò)去了，就從普通的鯉魚變成了天龍，而倘若不能突破的話，就會(huì)前功盡棄。我為此請(qǐng)教虞老師，他的回答很簡(jiǎn)單：“大量閱讀，尤其是簡(jiǎn)寫本。”我那時(shí)年少氣盛，作不解狀。虞老師談起他當(dāng)年在上外讀書時(shí)，教文學(xué)的陸佩弦先生也要求他們這些早已開始啃原著的年輕教師多讀簡(jiǎn)寫本。理由很簡(jiǎn)單：你能用區(qū)區(qū)幾百個(gè)詞將故事敘述得如此活靈活現(xiàn)嗎？如果答案是否定的，就要老老實(shí)實(shí)地讀。虞老師還和我分享了一個(gè)小小的心得：在英語(yǔ)基礎(chǔ)已經(jīng)相當(dāng)堅(jiān)固的情形下，用英語(yǔ)國(guó)家的中學(xué)生讀物，可能效果比讀簡(jiǎn)寫本還要好。于是我一頭扎進(jìn)圖書館，開始閱讀自己能夠搜羅到的校園小說(shuō)。整整三個(gè)月，我沉浸在英國(guó)少年情竇初開的世界中，很吃力地在探險(xiǎn)、戀愛和校內(nèi)權(quán)力斗爭(zhēng)的重重網(wǎng)絡(luò)中游走。在以每天50多頁(yè)的速度啃了好幾本之后，發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的語(yǔ)感有了質(zhì)的飛躍，由于中學(xué)生讀物的難度比簡(jiǎn)寫本高出許多但又比一般原文文字要簡(jiǎn)單，我掌握了許多中級(jí)詞匯，同時(shí)口語(yǔ)的熟練程度也有了巨大的進(jìn)步。羅姆布的書中講到，“閱讀以優(yōu)美、簡(jiǎn)單的語(yǔ)言節(jié)奏寫成的現(xiàn)代戲劇、長(zhǎng)短篇小說(shuō)，最能培養(yǎng)語(yǔ)言熟巧。語(yǔ)言的所謂?情境因素?包含在藝術(shù)性的敘述的潛臺(tái)詞中，可以與潛臺(tái)詞一起不知不覺(jué)地吸收到人的記憶里。”誠(chéng)哉，斯言！

演講稿 from walls to bridges im studying in a city famous for its walls.all visitors to my city are amazed by the imposing sight of the city walls, silhouetted by the setting sun with gold and shining lines.with old, cracked bricks patched with lichen, the walls are weather-beaten guards, standing still for centuries in protecting the city.our ancestors liked to build walls.they built walls in beijing, xian, nanjing and many other cities, and they built the great wall, which snakes through half of our country.they built walls to ward off enemies and evil spirits.this tradition has been maintained to this day as we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public.i grew up at the foot of the city walls, and ive loved them since my childhood.for a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world.my perception, however, changed after a hiking trip to the eastern suburbs, a scenic area of my city.my classmates and i were walking with some international students.as we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by taller and taller trees, which formed a huge canopy above our heads.suddenly an international student asked me, where is the entrance to the eastern suburbs? were already in the eastern suburbs, i replied.he seemed taken aback, i thought you chinese have walls for everything.his remark set off a heated debate.at one point, he likened our walled cities to jails, while i insisted that the eastern suburbs were one of the many places in china that had no walls.that debate had no winners, but i did learn a lot from this international student.for instance, he told me that universities like oxford and cambridge were not surrounded by walls;the campuses were just part of the cities.i have to admit that we do have many walls in china, and as we are developing our country, we must carefully examine them, whether they are physical or intangible.we篇三：全國(guó)英語(yǔ)演講大賽冠軍

全國(guó)英語(yǔ)演講大賽冠軍：學(xué)英語(yǔ)笨方法才是好方法.cn 2006年11月23日10:36 東北新聞網(wǎng) 2006“ c c t v杯”全國(guó)英語(yǔ)演講大賽于近日落下帷幕，武漢大學(xué)的陳東奪得第一名，大家都難以相信陳東竟是一個(gè)非英語(yǔ)專業(yè)的學(xué)生，據(jù)他自己爆料，小學(xué)畢業(yè)時(shí)只認(rèn)得一個(gè)單詞。陳東何以把英語(yǔ)學(xué)得這么好？有什么竅門嗎？昨日，記者電話采訪了這位全國(guó)英語(yǔ)冠軍。

啃難題讓他大開眼界

陳東上小學(xué)時(shí)對(duì)英語(yǔ)不感興趣，英語(yǔ)課對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)就是活動(dòng)課，他從來(lái)不聽講，小學(xué)畢業(yè)時(shí)只認(rèn)得“ o r a n g e”一個(gè)單詞，因?yàn)樗蛺勰睢?o r a n g e”，覺(jué)得很順口，好玩！上了初中，陳東想好好學(xué)英語(yǔ)了，但是他沒(méi)有一點(diǎn)兒英語(yǔ)基礎(chǔ)，學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)遇到了很多困難。幸運(yùn)的是，陳東結(jié)識(shí)了好友余皪。余皪的英語(yǔ)成績(jī)非常好，初一時(shí)已經(jīng)在學(xué)習(xí)《新概念英語(yǔ)2》了，初二就能用很流利的英語(yǔ)表達(dá)自己的想法了。

最讓陳東佩服的是，余皪的英語(yǔ)已經(jīng)那么好了，但還是在學(xué)習(xí)，老師布置的作業(yè)他都會(huì)認(rèn)真完成，盡管他都會(huì)了。陳東回憶說(shuō)，這么多年來(lái)，余皪一直在幫助他，從完全不能說(shuō)，到漸漸能開口，到基本能說(shuō)，到很能說(shuō)，一直都是在余皪的巨大影響下。

記得初三時(shí)，陳東買了一本《英語(yǔ)奧林匹克》，這本書稍有難度，做一套題能錯(cuò)一半還多，而且常常是看完答案和注解也不知道怎么回事。陳東找來(lái)余皪給他講題，余皪不僅英語(yǔ)基礎(chǔ)好，而且課講得十分精彩。陳東說(shuō)，他好像什么都懂，見多識(shí)廣，可以從一個(gè)單詞講到美國(guó)的歷史，聯(lián)系到的背景知識(shí)，讓人大開眼界。一個(gè)月下來(lái)，整本書做完了，陳東的英語(yǔ)成績(jī)有了很大提高，也就是從那時(shí)起陳東喜歡上了英語(yǔ)。篇四：全國(guó)大學(xué)生英語(yǔ)英語(yǔ)演講比賽第一名

第五篇：第十六屆“21世紀(jì)杯”全國(guó)英語(yǔ)演講比賽冠軍許吉如演講稿

Have you ever bought any food on the train? And do you ask for the receipt after buying it? Nowadays, all trains in China provide its passengers with receipts for commodities, but 7 years ago, things were quite different.On 13th of October, 2004, the train T109 from Beijing to Shanghai was speeding on the railway.A graduate student bought a sausage at 1 yuan on the train, then asked for a receipt.“Are you kidding? It?s just one yuan!” The crew member was surprised.The student, however, answered in a determined voice, “I paid the money, so I deserve the receipt.”

“But we never give receipts on the train.? As a result, his further request was turned down by a cold shoulder.Several days later, the student sued the National Railway Ministry, for not providing receipts for passengers.To his dismay, the court turned down the case for lack of evidence.But he, who majored in law at that time, believed law as a most powerful weapon, so he did not give up.Instead, he began his journey of collecting first-hand evidence by taking trains and buying commodities aboard.When his classmates were playing soccer, he was taking the train;When his classmates were buying food at Mcdonald?s, he was buying food on the train;When his classmates were asking girls out, he was asking for the receipts.As he joked, ?I was either taking the train or on the way to take the train.?

One month later, he appeared in the court again, with newly-collected evidence and a stronger confidence.And I guess, ladies and gentlemen, you will all cheer for the result because this time, the student won the case.Very soon, a regulation about receipts on the train came out.And whatever we buy on the train now, there?s a receipt for us.Outside the court, the student was asked, “How do you make it to the end?” He said, “As a law student, I root my faith in law.I believe that law is there, to protect every person with no exception, and to ensure every person has a say.”

His words spread a strong faith in law, which is not only a doctrine of a law student, but also a belief that all citizens ought to hold.It is this faith that initiates the student to resort to law for a tiny issue;it is this faith that supports him to endure all the exhausting trips when collecting evidence;It is this faith that makes a seemingly “ridiculous” receipt request legal and rightful.It is this faith that helps to change our life, enhance our judicial system and bring social justice.To many, a receipt of 1 yuan is too small to mention, however rights are to be respected and law is to be believed in.It all starts with a tiny receipt of 1 yuan, but we get a monumental case, a new regulation and a bumper harvest in social justice.The bridge that leads a tiny start to a bumper harvest is faith, the faith in law, rightful and strong.
