中小学生英文演讲 篇1

First of all, lets think about it, when we reached the intersection, if notice is for safety traffic lights on guard? When we take the train, automobile, ever heard “for your safety, please do not stick out your hands and head out of the window” cordial attention? Remember, when I was a child, since I just remember, is well-meaning parents taught me “both do something, be sure to pay attention to safety”. Remember, when we walked into the campus, the teacher taught us the first thing is to pay attention to safety; Remember, since I read on the road, department stores, often can see in front of the building “please pay attention to safety”, “safety first”, “safe production” brand. Security is really important? Yes!

Safe in my heart, this is a word that everyone should know, if you dont speak security in mind, the more dangerous it is very close to us. Remember once, after school, I was just heading home, after a corner, suddenly, a bike knocked down by a car on the side of the road. Things have in the past for a long time, but until today, I still forget the painful appearance, I more is to be safe in my heart.

As a primary school student, I often heard my mother tell me about all kinds of stories, is one of the stories about pupils safe. A pupil called huanhuan, she looks very lovely, is the apple of her parents eye. One day, she was home from school, near the walking home, suddenly see mothers shadow across the road, she was very happy and shouted, “mother, mother” and like a cute little butterflies fly to mom. She was completely didnt pay attention to safety, however, also didnt notice that is driving a car, only heard a loud scream, the little huanhuan was hit by a speeding car. At that time, the red once her sun that white skirt, red face suddenly pale, good scary...

Students, after listening to these two stories, whether do you also recognize the importance of safe in my heart? In fact, is not only the traffic safety, there are still many places need to pay attention to safety, just as my mother said, everything should pay attention to safety. After class, for e~ample, when we are down the stairs, for e~ample, a break when we play together. Security is everywhere, all the things, as long as someones behavior, will keep in mind that safe in my heart.

Dear classmates, the world is colorful, life is good, lets wish, wish our each teacher each student get to school every day in peace, happy to go home, wish our campus to be safe, healthy and infinite vitality of harmonious campus.

一、高职学生“课前一分钟英文演讲”存在的问题及应对措施

为了提高高职学生英语水平和职业素养等综合能力,笔者将“课前一分钟英文演讲”引入大学英语课堂。然而,在英文演讲活动开展的过程中,笔者发现一个很大的问题:虽然学院非常重视此活动,并采取了相关措施保障和促进演讲活动的开展,但学生本身并不太重视。另外,由于高职学生英语水平普遍较低,在英文演讲中表现也不佳。针对不同的问题,笔者在实践中摸索出了下列对策:

1. 学生不主动。大多高职学生学习缺乏主动性,因此很少有人主动站出来作“课前1分钟英文演讲”。

应对措施:按学号顺序,人人都要参加。

2. 准备不充分。

相当一部分演讲的学生没有提前准备或准备得很不充分,有的临时从手机上搜索一段英文来念,自己很不熟悉,发音错误很多,基本上很难听懂;还有的很简单说几句英文自我介绍,就敷衍了事了。

应对措施:与平时成绩挂钩,且占较高比例。

3. 不敢开口。部分演讲的学生不敢或不愿开口说英语,想用中文演讲代替。

应对措施:坚持英文演讲,演讲内容和形式可不限。积极鼓励学生,肯定学生的进步,努力发掘学生的闪光点。

4. 缺少聆听与互动。学生英文演讲基本没有互动,台下的学生也没有认真去听。

应对措施:设置演讲后的提问环节。教师根据演讲内容提问听的学生或听众提问演讲学生。

二、“课前一分钟英文演讲”在教学实践中应注意的方面

1. 教学步骤。

在进行“课前一分钟英文演讲”前,要求演讲的学生提交演讲相关材料。这些材料可以是纸制版或电子版的英文演讲稿以及演讲用的PPT或视频等。教师看完演讲材料后,提出改进或修改意见,使之更加完善。课堂演讲教学主要分为下面四个步骤:

第一步,学生演讲。由于大学英语课通常是大班授课,学生人数众多,要求演讲者使用麦克风,以便所有人都能听见。每班指派专人负责拍摄演讲视频。

第二步,教师点评。演讲的学生比较看重教师的点评,因此教师应该多给予积极肯定的评价。同时,也要较委婉地指出其演讲中的不足之处,促进其继续提高,这对听众学生来说也是一种学习和借鉴。

第三步,课堂互动。课堂互动包括师生互动和生生互动两个部分。教师可针对演讲的内容对听众学生提问,比如:“What’s the topic of the speech?”、“What do you think of…?”等等。听众学生也可以就演讲的内容提问演讲的学生。

第四步,演讲评分。评委组由教师和数名学生共同组成。学生评委包括教师指定的部分英语成绩较好的学生和学生自己选出的代表。参照演讲比赛的评分标准,制定评分细则,从演讲的时间、态度、内容、语言表达、技巧等方面进行打分。

在课堂教学时间允许的条件下,可带领学生观看并学习优秀演讲短视频,比如:TED演讲、美国历任总统就职演说、各类大学生英语演讲比赛以及名人的演讲等等。观看这些英文演讲视频,既训练了学生听力,又学习了演讲技巧,还对他们精神上有很好的启发和激励作用。

2. 演讲话题。

我院《大学英语》课程开设两个学期。根据高职学生的实际情况以及培养学生综合能力的教学目标,演讲的话题按学期分为两个部分:

(1)第一学期学生自主命题。由于新生刚踏入大学校门,对新环境和新同学还不太熟悉,可能会比较拘谨。再加上高职学生英语基础和演讲能力都还比较弱,让他们选择自己感兴趣和擅长的话题进行演讲,这样他们就能有话可说,有感而发了,演讲效果会更好,也有利于增强他们的自信心。

(2)第二学期教师指定命题。经过一个学期的演讲训练,学生的各方面的水平都有相应的提高。进入第二学期,演讲话题由教师根据教学内容、时事热点来指定命题。学生课外主动收集整理相关资料,有利于他们养成自学的习惯。

3. 演讲形式。这是一个讲究个性的时代,因此演讲的形式也可以不拘一格。

(1)个人的形式。除了传统的英文演说外,还有用英文讲笑话、朗诵诗、唱歌、猜谜,更有模仿Michael Jackson跳舞、魔术等才艺表演。

(2)双人的形式。比如英文对话。

(3)小组的形式。比如英文小品。

4. 演讲时间。

虽然活动名为“课前一分钟英文演讲”,但是演讲的时间不仅仅局限于课前的一分钟内。可根据参与的演讲情况和学生人数而定,比如学生在演讲中展示了PPT、分享了视频或是以小组的形式进行的,演讲时间可适当延长。总的来说,演讲用时不得少于一分钟,也不能超过10分钟。演讲活动可以根据教学需要,放到课后进行。

5. 其他方面。

对于学生提交的演讲资料、现场拍摄的视频以及评分表等要及时地整理保存,不仅可作为学生平时成绩的重要参考依据,而且也相当于给学生建立了一个演讲档案,作为学生能力提升的见证。此外,教师可挑选出优秀的演讲视频,在别的班上进行展示和推广。

三、“课前一分钟英文演讲”在培养高职学生综合能力中的作用

通过多年教学实践证明,“课前一分钟英文演讲”很好地活跃了课堂的气氛,有效地增进了师生间和学生间的交流互动,极大地改善了高职大学英语的教学状况。同时,该活动对于培养高职学生综合能力发挥着积极重要的作用。

1. 切实提高高职学生的自主学习能力和团队协作精神。

绝大多数高职学生缺乏自主学习能力,在学习上几乎完全依靠教师在课堂上的讲解。我院学管部门和任课教师齐抓学生的课前演讲,促使学生利用课外时间去图书馆查询或网上搜索演讲所需资料,有利于学生自主学习能力的培养和提高。有的演讲是以小组的形式开展的,组内成员分工合作、互帮互助有利于培养学生的团队协作精神。

2. 全面提升高职学生英语的听、说、读、写能力。

英语学习离不开听、说、读、写这几个方面。在教学中,如果过于强调读写而忽视听说,即使学生有比较扎实的英语基础,但仍然是听不懂、说不出,学的也只是“聋哑英语”,交际能力很弱;如果只重视听说而不加强读写训练,学生语法混乱、词汇量少,能表达的不多而且还是Chinglish(中式英语)。“课前一分钟英文演讲”将这四个方面的能力训练巧妙地融合在一起,是一种综合性的全面训练:演讲前,学生在收集资料、撰写演讲稿时训练了读写能力;演讲时,学生练习了说的能力;演讲后,在互动提问中训练了听力。

3. 逐渐培养高职学生在未来工作中的职业素养。

“课前一分钟英文演讲”活动能逐渐培养出学生以下的职业素养:⑴克服紧张和畏惧心理,敢于在公众场合发言;⑵逻辑思维缜密和临场应变能力强;⑶在演讲过程中,学会相互尊重、互相聆听。这些专业素养有助于学生毕业后更好地适应工作,也为他们未来的职业生涯奠定了坚实的基础。

总而言之,将“课前一分钟英文演讲”活动在大学英语教学中日常化,使之成为其中重要的一部分,通过持之以恒、循序渐进的训练,能有效培养高职学生的综合能力。

中小学生英文演讲 篇3

【摘要】古今中外绝大多数成功人士都是超级演说家，因此演讲备受推崇，而笔者所在的高职院校更是将课前演讲作为一项学生必须完成的任务去贯彻执行。针对我院学生在“課前一分钟英文演讲”中存在的问题，笔者提出了应对措施，并进一步指出了在大学英语教学实践中应注意的若干方面以及“课前一分钟英文演讲”在培养高职学生综合能力中发挥的重要作用。

大学生英文演讲稿 篇4

演讲稿是在一定的场合，面对一定的.听众，演讲人围绕着主题讲话的文稿。在发展不断提速的社会中，演讲稿在演讲中起到的作用越来越大，那么你有了解过演讲稿吗？以下是小编精心整理的大学生英文演讲稿，希望能够帮助到大家。

Someone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”.I don’t know who wrote these words, but I’ve always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be.We are all in the position of the farmers.If we plant a good seed ,we reap a good harvest.If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.We are young.“How to spend the youth?” It is a meaningful question.To answer it, first I have to ask “what do you understand by the word youth?” Youth is not a time of life, it’s a state of mind.It’s not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees.It’s the matter of the will.It’s the freshness of the deep spring of life.A poet said “To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour.Several days ago, I had a chance to listen to a lecture.I learnt a lot there.I’d like to share it with all of you.Let’s show our right palms.We can see three

大学生英文演讲稿 篇5

In my opinion, Youth is not only a certain time of your life; also it is the shape of your mind. It is not only bright eyes, sweet smiles, nice voices, supple bodies, but also it is the way that you think and act.

Youth is a lively topic, youth is a mature turning.

Youth is like a gust of wind blowing, leaving only the dusty back.

We have been or are embrace the youth, we will lose our youth.

Some people say that youth is a scrap of paper, of no use. Every attempt nothing and accomplish nothing, only know to eat, drink, play, music, do not know how to study hard, do not know how parents bitterness, do not understand the meaning of life.Also some people, although they are unknown to the public, but they cherish their youth, cherish their own every second.

As a new era of college students, should cherish the youth, to seize every minute to learn. We must hold to our youth, do not waste ones life. On the road of growing up, do every thing, each reading a good book, learn every bit of knowledge. We should not idle about all day, abandoned their studies. We want to make sure that the goal of life for themselves, to pursue the ideal of life. This is the youth: full power, full of expectations, voluntary, full of knowledge and the struggle of ambition.

Youth is a song, sing the life the most memorable fragment; youth is a painting, draw the outline of the most wonderful scene; youth is a poem, to praise the most beautiful moment in life; youth is the only way which must be passed to each of us in our life, it plays a significant role.

大学生毕业演讲(中英文) 篇6

#一人一朵花

My dear Mr.and Misses, my fellows schoolmates,Good morning!As you know and see, it is a sunny bump harvest season.In the city, in our school campus, everywhere is surrounded with roses which we together planted 4 years ago.Today may these roses and our friendship as well be together and comfort our excited hearts!

It was four years ago that everyone of us came from every part of China and formed a new collective.As we are young, it’s very easy for us to communicate.It was in the past four years that we were ambitious.It was in the past four years that we worried.It was in the past four years that we were content.It was in the past four years that we were vexed.It was in the past four years that we were friendly and lonely...and it was in the past fours that we studied, lived and respected each other with genuine and with our ambitions.Nothing in the world is more significant than we miss all of these.We miss you─teachers who are tireless in teaching;we will keep your gestures and your white hairs in our hearts deeply;we will miss the quietness with the lights at night in the classroom;we will miss the race and exercise on the playground;we will miss even the crowds in the dining hall and the quarrel on the beds;we will still miss every green piece and every piece of waste paper flying like flakes in the air...However, today we will leave nothing but the first rose with our Alma Mater and our teachers which is entrusted with our love and respect.years seems very long but 4 years seems very short.From now on, we all will go into the society.The society is broad and wide for us.We will shoulder heavy responsibilities;we will work diligently;and we will expect to be informed of good news from one another.Now, I beg you all to cherish the occasion;to remember the names, the status, appearance and the character of the person around you.Now let’s be hand in hand together;let’s present the rose to each other.May the rose carry our appreciation and blessing!We are very closely linked no matter what the world may be.May the fresh rose in our hands keep its fragrants!

Thank you all again!

学友们：

大家都瞧见了，这是一个阳光灿烂的收获季节。在这座城市，在我们的校园，到处都是玫瑰朵朵，这是4年前我们共同栽培的。今天，就让鲜花和友情聚拢，安抚我们激动不已的心吧！

4年前，大家从天南海北来到这里，组成了一个新的集体。年轻的心是最容易相通的，尽管4年中有追求有失落，有得意有烦恼，有欢乐有忧虑，有友爱有孤寂......但我们都曾怀着真诚而美好的初衷去学习、生活、相爱，没有什么比这些更有意义，更令我们怀念。

我们怀念每一位诲人不倦的老师，你们的手势或白发会刻在我们的记忆中；怀念教室里的静夜苦读，运动场上的奔跑跳跃，甚至食堂里的拥挤和高低床上的争论； 怀念每一块绿地和每一片风中飘零的废纸......今天，我们没有更好的礼物留下，这第一朵玫瑰，就献给我们的母校和老师，她寄托着大家的热爱和敬意！

4年很久，4年也很匆匆。以后的日子，大家又要飞，天高地阔，任重道远，我们将在躬身的劳作中和奉献中等候着彼此的好消息。现在，请珍惜和永远记住这一 时刻，记住你左边和右边的任何一个人吧，记住他（她）们的姓名、仪表和特点，请让我们彼此握手，彼此赠佩一朵玫瑰，让她表达我们的感谢和祝福。不管地老天 荒，我们彼此息息相关，我们的手指上永远保留着赠人鲜花的芳香！

中小学生英文演讲 篇7

According to Halliday, the adult’s language becomes much more complex and it has to serve many more functions, which are meta-functions, one of which is interpersonal function (Hu, 2007) .Barack Obama, in his addresses, uses the language to set up closer and deeper relationship with voters, create his own image, and influence votes’behavior.Voters are often deeply moved by his speeches.Thus, Obama’s speech can be seen in the full realization of the interpersonal function.His Weekly Radio Address can be analyzed to see the detailed realization in this paper.

2、Literature Review

2.1、Related Studies

Hewes, Roloff, Planalp and Reibold believe that in order to identify key areas of both agreement and controversy in the study of interpersonal communication, they propose such a hierarchy of skills.

Li Zhanzi (2002) points out that pronoun, tense, direct speech, indirect speech, reflective expression and appraisal methods can also show interpersonal function.She suggests that the interpersonal function of language should be studied from different perspectives in different theories.

Each of the theories mentioned above has its merits as well as demerits in dealing with the interaction in speech.This thesis will absorb the merits from these theories to explore the interpersonal function realized in the specific discourse of political public speech.

2.2、Features of Public Political Speech

Political speech here refers to those given by authorities with political purposes in order to influence a certain group of people.From the definition, we may easily infer the features of political speech.The first is the multiple aims, and the other is the power with which the aims are enforced upon the hearers.

In a political speech, power is a prominent feature that deserves our attention, speaking effectively in public is one of the oldest and most powerful weapons.Obvious examples from the last century include Lenin, Churchill, de Gaulle, Castro and Martin Luther King.As politicians, they represented a very wide range of opinions and beliefs.But one thing they all have in common is a quite extraordinary ability to captivate their audiences, inspire crowds and mobilize mass opinions (Atkinson, 1984) .

3、Case Study

3.1、Mood

Mood is made up of two parts:the“Subject”and the“Finite”element.The subject can be a noun, a noun phrase, or a clause.As subjects, the personal pronouns play an important part.The choice of personal pronouns can not only indicate their existence of the speaker and the listeners but also indicate the speaker’s attitudes and their relationship.In this article, there are 20“we”s, 6“I”s and 2“you”s as the subject.For example,

“That’s why we’re pursuing an all-of-the-above strategy.We’re producing more biofuels, more fuel-efficient cars, more solar power, more wind power.“

The frequent use“we”as subjects can make Obama and the public stand on the same position as if they have common goals, tasks and interests.Besides, “I”can highly identify the identity of Obama as the President of the USA.He, the President, is working hard for the new policy and a happier and more comfortable life of all Americans.Obama tells the public his great effort sincerely with“I”.The publics should be deeply touched.

However, in the sentences“Now, you wouldn’t know it by listening to some of the folks running for office today“, “you”is the subject.It can stress the exit of the audience and make the address more interactive and communicative.

3.2、Modality and Modulation

Halliday believes that modality the speaker’s judgment and prediction toward a statement.Modulation refers to the scale of obligation and inclination in proposals (offers and demands) , where the meaning of the positive and negative poles is prescribing and proscribing.Both obligation and inclination can be expressed in either of the two ways: (1) by finite modal operators; (2) by an expansion of (上接第176页)

the Predicator such as a passive verb or an adjective (Liu, 2007) .

In the article, there are 5“will”s, 3“would”s and 3“can”s.For example,

“You see, in a matter of days, funding will stop for all sorts of transportation projects.Construction sites will go idle.Workers will have to go home.And our economy will take a hit.”

Obama use modal auxiliaries such as“will”, “might”, “would”to express his blueprint and his confidence, determination and persistence to the new policy.He desires to get the support and trust from publics.

In order to promote the ruling ideology and seek public support, Obama use a lot of offers and statements in parallelism in this address, for example,

“Under my Administration, we’re producing more oil than at any other time in the last eight years.We’ve quadrupled the number of operating oil rigs to a record high.And we’ve added enough oil and gas pipeline to circle the entire Earth and then some.Those are the facts.”

Also, in the following sentence, Obama stimulate the public’s with the contrast power of a positive and a negative statement to emphasize his assumption,

“I don’t want to cede these clean energy industries to China or Germany or any other country.I want to see solar panels and wind turbines and fuel-efficient cars manufactured right here in America, by American workers.”

This kind of sentences can appeal to the audience directly, catch their attention and arouse their enthusiasm.In addition, these statements can also weaken the power relationship, so that the speaker and the audience to keep a relationship of equality and mutual trust.The publics believe that their President is working for them wholeheartedly.

4、Conclusion

This thesis uses Obama’s Weekly Radio Address as an example to demonstrate how interpersonal function is generally realized in a political speech.It is found that Obama makes good use of the complex references of personal pronouns, the ambiguity of the moda auxiliaries, and the various ways to convey imperativeness implicitly to achieve various purposes in his speech.His tactic uses of these linguistic elements have achieved the multiple aims in a speech and also showed his creativity in making a political speech.These factors determine and influence the interpersonal function of language and also meet the communicative function of the language.Thus, the speaker exploits the language to the utmost to achieve his aims.

如何培养学生的英文报刊阅读能力 篇8

常用的报刊阅读方法有通读和细读两种。通读是为了弄懂大意。首先，阅读开头的段落，这介绍性的材料将会使我们熟悉作者将要讨论的主题思想。报刊阅读中标题的阅读尤为重要。然后阅读下面各段的第一句话，这些句子可以使我们对文章内容有一个总体的概念。再阅读最后一段。这一段帮助我们对所覆盖的材料作一概括。我们要注意作者用来加以强调的一切：标题、黑体、斜体、图表、图画以及章节后面的问题。这种阅读应进行得很快，这样我们可以把注意力集中在段落大意或文章中心思想上。慢速的读者往往把注意力过多地集中在个别生词上，这样必然会影响我们对整个段落或整篇文章中心大意的理解。在阅读过程中，我们必然会遇到不认识的生词。但在一般情况下，三两个生词是不会影响我们对全篇阅读材料的理解。由于报刊阅读量大，浏览性的快读是报刊阅读的常用手段。

所谓细读是为了掌握具体内容，主要是指两个方面的内容：一是完全性质的精读；二是对快读的深加工。英文报刊杂志中有些富有哲理的文章，文章短，意义深，要全面地细读全篇。学生阅读时宛如与圣人在对话，有陶冶情操的功能。对快读深加工的第二遍阅读的速度取决于我们从对该材料的预读中所获得 的信息和指导。例如，我们往往能够根据段落的第一句话或者主题句来判断该段落的重要性。若该段落看起来是重要的，那就要仔细地阅读；若根据我们第一次的阅读，这个段落似乎不太重要，那么就可以略读，但不要完全跳过它。

此外，我们的英文报刊阅读方法是否适合作者的写作风格也是很重要的。在有些报刊里不少部分用主题标出来。在指导学生阅读时把这些标题作为理解内容的指南。报刊中章节后一般不设问题，使得这种阅读不同于平时的阅读理解。指导学生进行报刊阅读时，要努力使所读材料与我们已知原有关该标题的内容联系起来。这是新材料吗？它与我们原先想的有关该主题的思想有所不同吗？当我们继续阅读时自问这些简单的问题：为何（why）？什么（what）？谁（who）？何时（when）？何地（where）？怎样（how）？这种方法可帮助我们全神贯注于阅读上，因为当我们问这些问题时，我们作为一名读者正起着积极的作用。

这里可以举个例子：我曾经指导学生读过这样一篇新闻报道，President Obama Will Fly To Beijing. 这是一个典型的标题新闻，这里涵盖了who， what， where等一系列问题。整篇新闻讲的是：美国总统奥巴马将乘飞机到北京访问。

在指导学生进行英文报刊阅读时，还有一种方法容易被教师忽视。报刊中的时文和富有哲理的短文教师都可不失时机地用来进行听力的训练。

把以上的两种方法和英语阅读教学中的精读（intensive reading）和泛读（extensive reading）两种形式相比，可以说是异曲同工。精读的任务在于传授系统的基础语言知识（语音、语法、词汇、篇章 结构、语言功能意念等），训练基本语言技能（听、说、读、写、译），培养学生初步运用英 语进行交际的能力。泛读的任务在于着重提高阅读理解能力；培养学生细致观察语言以及假 设、判断、分析、归纳、推理论证等逻辑思维能力；培养学生速读能力以及阅读的兴趣，扩 大学生的词汇量，增强文化背景知识。从用途上看，泛读的实用性最广，即英文报刊阅读在英语阅读教学中有很重的分量。在实际生活里80% ～90%的阅读都是泛读，也就是说，英文报刊阅读会影响学生的人生。只有具有较强责任心的、适应实际需要的泛读能力的人，才可以说具有阅读能力，新课标把这一点放在了特出的地位。泛读是一种快速阅读，在阅读过程中，略过无关信息，筛选有关信息，利用标题、段落、主题句和关键词语，辨认要点，迅速有效地获取重要信息。我在教学中常把它作为工作之重，我的学生的英语水平也上升得快。如今，我个人的专业也从英文报刊阅读教学中得到提升。
