光华美高第四场英语公众演讲活动

徐同学 The Craftsman Spirit

徐同学是**个出场，他的演讲从日本料理着手，透过精致高品质的日料挖掘一种精益求精、不断进取的工匠精神。演讲主要围绕日本的两位米其林大厨展开，一位是寿司之神——小野二郎，为了让顾客能品尝到极致美味的食物，他曾让徒弟在他的训导下做了200个煎蛋，经历了无数次的失败后才做出了一个合格的煎蛋，由此可见他对于烹饪的追求已无限地趋近。另一位是天妇罗之神——早乙女哲哉早，在50余年的厨师生涯里，他将艺术灵感融入到天妇罗的烹饪中，把天妇罗做成一件艺术品。最后，由美食烹饪过渡到读书学习，我们应向两位厨师学习，在日常学习中也要投入一丝不苟、精益求精的工匠精神，方可大有所获，有所成就。

Once you decide on your career, you must devote yourself wholeheartedly to it. You must love your job and never complain. You must hone your skills all your life. That's the secret of success and the key to your respect." "I've been repeating the same thing to improve, always yearning to make progress, I keep going up, trying to reach the peak, but no one knows where the peak is. I still don't think I'm perfect, love my job and devote myself to it all my life.”

陈同学 That is Self-control

第二位出场的是陈同学，他身着校服，精神饱满，自信地开始了演讲。他认为自控力是我们生活中必不可少的能力。在当代社会，手机是大家最亲密的“朋友”，有些人从早上起床到晚上睡觉前手机都不离手，这样的习惯真的好吗?他曾经跟一位成绩优异的同学探讨过自制力的话题，得到的结论是“自制力就是能督促在适当的时间做该做的事情，而不是无期限地拖延”。良好的习惯是成功的一半，而自制力是培养习惯的必要因素。为了培养自制力，他提倡大家可以从三点入手：**，做事之前要考虑清楚，要有意识地去做事;第二，多去了解自制力的相关知识，用科学方法提高自制力;第三，可以通过写日程表来提醒督促自己做事，切勿抱着“明日复明日，明日何其多”的心态蹉跎岁月。

We are not unfamiliar with self-control. Every day, in the morning, self-control requires us to get up from the warm bed, especially in the cold winter; in the day, self-control tells us to stay focused in class and finish schoolwork before any kind of relaxation or entertainment; in the night, self control lets us exercise regularly, eat healthy food, shut off mobile phones and go to bed on time.

陈同学 Social Class Difference

第三位出场的是陈同学，他的演讲与社会阶级差异有关。在日常生活中，虽然我们感受不到明显的地位差异，但我们必须承认社会上存在着等级差异。例如，种姓制度在印度仍然存在。印度的种姓制度将人分为四个不同等级：婆罗门、刹帝利、吠舍和首陀罗。婆罗门为**种姓，地位最高，从事文化教育和祭祀;刹帝利为第二种姓，从事行政管理和打仗;吠舍为第三种姓，从事商业贸易;首陀罗为第四种姓，地位比较低，从事农业和各种体力及手工业劳动等。种姓较低的人根本得不到最基本的医疗、教育和饮食福利，这是很多人难以相信的事实。这是一个和平的时代，我们应忽视种族、国籍和贫富差距，怀着真诚的心平等待人，让世界充满温暖，充满爱。

Do you still think everyone is equal now? My speech above obviously helps us lead to“no” answer.today，we are encouraged to ignore race, nationality and wealth gap and treat others with sincere and friendly sincerity and compassion. Before that, I want to make an addition, open our eyes wide to see their misery, no matter how far, how different, how strange they are from us. I'll end with a quote from Martin Luther King, Jr I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."

陈同学 Qingming Festival

本场的压轴选手是陈同学，他介绍了我国的传统节日——清明节。首先，他简单提及了清明节的来源，晋国公子重耳曾在饥寒交迫的流亡途中得到下属介子推舍己割肉的帮助，日后成为国君，晋文公因介子推的不幸去世而设立了寒食节，也就是现在的清明节。其次，他介绍了清明时节的传统食物——青团。为什么青团是原材料是艾草呢?一是因为古代人们很穷，而艾草是随处可见的;二是因为清明时节阴气盛行，而艾草刚好能驱邪，家长为了不让孩子受伤害，便就地取材用艾草做青团了。最后，他提到了一些清明禁忌，比如，不宜穿色彩鲜艳的服装，不宜买鞋，更不宜随便拍照等等。通过陈同学的精彩分享，想必大家对清明节有了更全面的认识和了解。

I introduced the origin of the Qingming festival. The festival came from a folktale. At Jing dynasty, the monarch Zhong er who was overthrown by the subordinate, was exiled to different countries to avoid persecution. On his way of flee, he was hungry and had no energy to walk on. Jie Zitui，who was secretary of Zhong er, cut meat of his leg for Zhong er until he lost his life. After return, Zhong er, in order to remember Jie Zitui, set up the day as Hang shi day in ancient time on which people could not cook but could just eat the food the day before.

在统计分数的时候，台下的听众已经按捺不住内心的激动，开始猜测本场演讲最后究竟花落谁家。伴着主持人嘹亮的声音，本场四位同学得分都超过了90分，陈同学凭借稳定出色的发挥拿下了本场的**名，同时也是**个月的月度之星。希望在接下来的演讲中，大家能以陈同学为榜样，再接再厉，不断地在演讲中秀出自我，提升自我!
