光华美高第九期英语公众演讲

王同学 Depression

**位出场的是王同学，他讲述了一种特殊的精神心理疾病——抑郁症。首先，他提到了抑郁症的危害，它会影响人的思维、情绪、行为和自我认知，影响人的正常生活。接下来，他继续分享了常见的抑郁症患者的症状，例如每天都情绪抑郁，易焦虑;在日常活动中缺乏兴趣，容易感到疲倦，凡事漠不关心;胃口发生发生巨大变化，具有增加或减少;睡眠出现问题，入睡困难，浅眠多梦，容易惊醒等。此外，他还提到严重的抑郁患者为了结束痛苦，容易产生自杀的念头。最后，他呼吁大家要关注和关爱抑郁症患者，提醒患者及时去看医生，以便早日回归正常的生活。

Many people with depression think of death as a way to relieve their pain. Patients often die in order to end suffering, suffering and confusion. For example, like Avicii, he is a well-known Swedish DJ. Avicii ranked third among the top 100 DJ in 2012 and 2013. A genius like this once earned $28 million a year, ranking ninth in Forbes'top global income of celebrities under 30. Suicide due to depression

If you suffer from depression, the symptoms that hurt you may also hurt your family, your work performance and your relationships.

罗同学 Instrumental Music

第二位出场的是罗同学，演讲内容是器乐的发展以及器乐对于我们的影响。他依次介绍了早期的西方巴洛克音乐、古典音乐和流行音乐，分别介绍了三种音乐的产生和发展。其中，他还提到了巴洛克音乐盛行时期著名的音乐家巴赫对音乐的贡献，提到了众所周知的贝多芬创作的一系列优秀的古典乐，提到了当代由乐器演奏的流行音乐主要是以电音和轻音乐为主。最后，他还指出音乐的发展是无止境的 ，这个世界需要美妙的旋律，人类需要音乐的熏陶，因而未来音乐一定会占据更高、更重要的地位。

Now let’s move on to classical music. Does anyone know its clear definition? Alright, let me show you something about it. Classical music is serious or conventional music following long-established principles rather than a funk, jazz or popular tradition. In another way, classical music is a simple way of the Baroque music. It’s the same as Baroque music in that they both don’t have an exactly meaning but the emotion of classical music is much stronger than that of Baroque era. As we all know, Ludwig van Beethovenis the main representative. He was very stubborn and sensitive. Although he had been deaf in the middle of his life, he was very tough and so many impressive pieces of music were made and most of those are kept till today.

顾同学 Time Management

第三位出场的是顾同学，他的演讲与时间管理息息相关。他认为我们应该整理细碎的时间去使我们在日常生活中做得更好。众所皆知，作为一名学生，学校的学习生活十分繁忙，这就要求每个人必须掌握一定的方法来科学地管理时间，提高效率，促进学习进步。对此，他提出了两点建议：**，我们要根据自己需要的时间去规划目标，我们对自己不必有太大的压力，也没必要把自己的时间全部排满;第二，对待琐碎的时间，我们可以把它们集中在一起，化散为整，这种就可以利用这段时间集中去做一些事情。所谓一寸光阴一寸金，对于学生而言，分秒必争是学有所成的秘籍之一。

First, we should take advantage of the fragmentary time. Busy, working or entertaining, piecemeal time is everywhere. When doing anything, organizing your spare time can help you get more chances to accomplish your task. Of course, this is not something that can be done under any circumstances. You can adjust your original arrangements and plans according to your needs, which has both advantages and disadvantages. Making use of your spare time can disrupt your original plans and make you busier, but you will have more time to complete your tasks. If we can combine a lot of time, you will find that you have a period of unexpected time. In this way, integrating many hours into a period of time, and making good use of this period, will make your life more fulfilling.

祝同学 Celebrity worship

第四位出场的是祝同学，她的演讲涉及到一个热门话题——追星。在当今社会，有一种精神上的疾病叫做过度膜拜明星，这些疯狂的粉丝就是我们所说的私生饭。最开始的时候，这个词是在2000年被James Chapman**次使用。对私生饭而言，疯狂的追星是一种心里上的发泄，但这种行为不仅会影响艺人正常的生活，而且对他们也有很多不好的影响，例如远离家人和朋友。所以，她最后呼吁我们不应该疯狂地追随明星，应该享受自己的生活，感恩那些在我们生活中给予我们帮助的人，努力做自己生活的主角!

The simple obsession people have for celebrities begin with people’s desire to gossip. People are obsessed with celebrities because it provides a social outlet which they wouldn’t have otherwise.In the subject of psychology, it’s called ‘ psychological prosthesis’. Of course, like everything else, there is a border, as people become more and more interested in celebrities’ life, there is a shift, from a fan to a stalker. When someone reaches this stage, they start to move away from their family and friends, and eventually reach celebrity worship syndrome.

最终，伴着主持人嘹亮的声音，罗同学凭借稳定而出色的发挥拿下了本场的**名。希望在接下来的演讲中，同学们再接再厉，在演讲台上展现实力，大放光彩!
