Giving is Receiving—Personal Growth in volunteer Work

奉獻(xiàn)即有收獲—“21世紀(jì)聯(lián)想杯”全國英語演講比賽冠軍演講

Morning, ladies and gentlemen.早上好，女士們先生們。

Last summer, I volunteered to work as an English teacher in a primary school for children of

migrant workers.去年夏天，我自愿在一所外地農(nóng)民工子弟小學(xué)當(dāng)起了一名英語教師。

To be accurate, I didn’t volunteer.I was dragged in.（literally）

確切的說，我并不是自告奮勇去參加的。我其實是被拽著參加的。（從字面上說）

When my friend first hit upon the idea of this project, I was all against it:“What? To spend my

vacation standing

in the heat,當(dāng)我的朋友首次提出參加這個計劃時我是完全反對的：“什么？讓我整個暑假冒著酷暑，Yelling at a bunch of nine-year-olds who couldn’t even speak proper Mandarin Chinese? And

besides, there`s no pay

for my toil.No, I am definitely not going.”

對著一幫9歲大的小孩大聲嚷嚷，他們甚者連普通話都說不標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。而且我的辛苦工作是無

償服務(wù)。不，我絕對不會去的?！?/p>

But my friend twisted my arms to have me join them.但是在朋友的堅持下，我還是去了。

Unexpectedly, the first lesson I taught turned out a lesson for me.出乎意料的是，我的第一節(jié)課卻變成了我的一課。

The moment I stepped into the shabby classroom, I was touched dy the loud, respectful voices in unison: “Good

morning, teacher!”

當(dāng)我踏進(jìn)那間破舊的教室，我被一陣充滿敬意，整齊的喊聲深深打動了?！袄蠋?，早上好！”

Instead of fooling around, the chilend were thirsty for knowledge and efficient in absorbing everying I was able to

give them.這些孩子沒有四處打鬧，對知識如饑似渴的他們有效地吸收我交給他們的知識。

This made me despise myself for I hadn’t even prepared for the class.讓我鄙視自己，因為我事前根本沒有備課。

During the break, I leaned over the squeaky desk, chatting with a sweaty boy in the front row:“ Without air-

Conditioning, it’s really hot here.Are you tired?”

課間休息時，我靠在一張吱吱作響的桌子旁，與前排一位滿頭大汗的男孩子聊天：“這里沒有空調(diào)，實在太熱了，你感到熱嗎？”

“Not at all,” said he, shaking his head.“It`s fine here.My Dad builds asphalt roads.That is really tiring and hot.”

“一點都不，”他搖搖頭說，“這里很好。我爸爸在修瀝青公路。那里才是真的又熱又累人?！?/p>

As summer advanced, my enthusiasm as a teacher grew.隨著夏天的推移，我作為一名老師的熱情在上漲。

I prepared my lesson carefully and even used some methods my teachers used.我認(rèn)真的備課，甚至采用了一些我老師曾經(jīng)用過的教學(xué)方法。

I organized many group activities to give the kids fun.Strangely enough, the heat was also becoming less and less

unbearable.我組織了許多小組活動讓孩子們玩得很開心。奇怪的是，這酷暑熱浪也逐漸讓人能忍受了。

Soon, my one-month volunteer work came to an end.不久，我為期一個月的志愿活動接近尾聲。

When I was leaving my last class, I turned back and saw smiling faces and waving hands.當(dāng)我結(jié)束作何一節(jié)課時，我轉(zhuǎn)身，看到那張張笑臉和學(xué)的揮動的手。

Never before had I ever had such a feeling of sadness, which was, nevertheless, mixed with a sense of enrichment,fulfillment and happiness.我從未感到過如此傷心，但是這種感覺卻夾雜著充實,滿足和幸福。

I was paid for my work, amply paid, not in terms of money, but something more valuable.我的工作得到了回報，而且獲益很大。這種報償不是用金錢來衡量的，而是其他一些更加珍貴的東西。

My English was improved.I was able to teach it, although not very professional.I learned about the grassroots-

level society.我的英語水平得到了提高。雖然不是很專業(yè)，但我可以勝任這份教學(xué)工作了。我了解到了基層社會。

Inside myself a heart is growing, a heart that not only beats for myself, but cares for others as well.我的內(nèi)心激情澎湃，這不單單是對自己的鞭策，也是在關(guān)心著其他人。

The volunteer work gave me a precious little chance to say thanks to people like the little boy’s father,這次志愿工作給我一次難得的機(jī)會向諸如那位小男孩的父親一樣的人們表達(dá)謝意。

Who construct highways san under grounds, build up modern skyscrapers, and make our cities more and more beautiful.他們修建高速公路和地鐵、建設(shè)現(xiàn)代化摩天大樓，讓我們的城市越來越漂亮。

To help the children with their English was all I could do, at present, to show my gratitude to these unsung

heroes.而要表達(dá)我對這些無名英雄的感激之情，我目前力所能及的事情只是給他們的小孩教英語。

The world may not have been fair to them,這個世界對他們可能不太公平，So privileged and blessed people like me are obliged to do whatever we can to help make their life better.所以我們這些幸運和幸福的人有義務(wù)盡我們所能，讓他們生活的更好一些。

What I ever [whatever] I do for them, however,然而，我所做的事情微不足道

I know it cannot be compared with what they have done to improve the quality of life in our cities.我知道，比起他們?yōu)樘岣邿o名的城市生活質(zhì)量所做的貢獻(xiàn)。

Ladies and gentlemen, now realize that volunteering shouldn’t be a one-time personal experience.女士們先生們，現(xiàn)在我意識到志愿活動不應(yīng)該是一次個人經(jīng)歷。

It should be a lifetime activity of everybody.這應(yīng)該成為每一個人的一種終生行為。

Many of us are now offering assistance to the needy and to each other, and our efforts have indeed made a

difference.現(xiàn)在我們中的很多人都在為彼此和那些需要幫助的人提供援助。我們這些努力確實是能改變現(xiàn)狀。

Whether we are helping children with their schooling, or caring for the elderly in nursing homes, and helping out

in 2008 Beijing Olympics,不管我們是在教育方面幫助孩子還是在敬老院照顧老人們，或者參加2008年北京奧運會的志愿活動，We well not only contribute to the harmony of the world but elevate ourselves as well.這些都不只是為社會的和諧貢獻(xiàn)自己的力量，同時也是在提升襲擊的道德修養(yǎng)。

Emerson once said,:“It’s one of the most beautiful compensations of this life

愛默生曾經(jīng)說過：“此生最美好的一種報償就是，that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.” He was right.任何對別人的真誠幫助必然也是對自己的幫助?！彼菍Φ?。

I hear that my university is going to organize anther voluntary teaching program this summer.我聽說學(xué)校今年夏天將組織另一次義務(wù)教學(xué)活動。

This time I won’t be dragged in.I will volunteer.這一次我不會再被拽著參加了。我會自告奮勇。

Thank you.謝謝。

第十屆“21世紀(jì)杯”全國英語演講比賽冠軍——夏鵬

第三篇：“21世紀(jì)杯”全國英語演講比賽冠軍演講稿

Facing this audience on the stage, I have the exciting feeling of participating in the march of history, for what we are facing today is more than a mere competition or contest.It is an assembly of some of China's most talented and motivated people, representatives of a younger generation that are preparing themselves for the coming of a new century.I'm grateful that I've been given this opportunity, at such a historic moment, to stand here as a spokesman of my generation and to take a serious look back at the past 15 years, a crucial period for every one of us and for this nation as well.Though it is only within my power to tell about my personal experience, and only a tiny fragment of it at that, it still represents, I believe, the root of a spirit which has been essential to me and to all the people bred by the past 15 years.In my elementary years, there was a little girl in the class who worked very hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons.The teacher asked me to help her, and it was obvious that she expected a lot from me.but as a young boy, restless, thoughtless, I always tried to evade her so as to get more time to enjoy myself.One day before the final exam, she came up to me and said, “Could you please explain this to me? I want very much to do better this time.” I started explaining, and finished in a hurry.pretending not to notice her still confused eyes, I ran off quickly.Nat surprisingly, she again did very badly in the exam.And two months later, at the beginning of the new semester, word came of her death of blood cancer.No one ever knew about the little task I failed to fulfill, but I couldn't forgive myself.I simply couldn't forget her eyes, which seem to be asking, “Why didn't you do a little more to help me, when it was so easy for you? Why didn't you understand a little better the trust placed in you, so that I would not have to leave this world in such pain and regret?”

I was about eight or nine years old at that time, but in a way it was the very starting point of my life, for I began to understand the word “responsibility” and to learn to always do my duties faithfully and devotedly, for the implications of that sacred word has dawned on me: the mutual need and trust of people, the co-operation and inter-reliance which are the very foundation of human society.Later in my life, I continued to experience many failures.But never again did I feel that regret which struck me at the death of the girl, for it makes my heart satisfied to think that I have always done everything in my power to fulfill my responsibilities as best I can.As I grew up, changed and improved by this incident and many other similar ones, I began to perceive the changes taking place around me and to find that society, in a way, was in its formative years like myself.New buildings, new commodities and new fashions appear every day.New ideas, new information, new technologies.people can talk with each other from any corner of the earth in a matter of seconds.Society is becoming more competitive.Words like individuality and creativity are getting more emphasis and more people are rewarded for their hard work and efforts.Such is the era in which this generation ,grows and matures.Such is the era in which this generation will take over the nation from our fathers and learn to run it.Yet in the meantime, many problems still exist.We learn that crimes take place in broad daylight with crowds of people looking on and not assisting.We hear that there are still about 1 million children in this country who can't even afford to go to elementary schools while enormous sums of money are being squandered away on dinner parties and luxury cars.We buy shoddy medicines, or merely worthless junk in the name of medicines, that aggravate, rather than alleviate our diseases since money, many people believe, is the most important thing in the world that must be made, even at the expense of morality and responsibility.Such an era, therefore, determines that we are a generation with a keener sense of competition and efficiency and a greater readiness to think critically and act creatively.Such an era, furthermore, demands, that we are a generation with a clear perception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive will to take action and solve the problems.History has long been preparing these qualities in this generation and it is now calling us forward to give testimony to our patriotism and heroism towards this nation and all humanity.Standing here now, I think of the past 15 years of my life as an ordinary student.probably I'll be an ordinary man for the rest of my life.But this doesn't discourage me any, for I know that with my sense of responsibility and devoted efforts to always strive, for the best, it's going to be a meaningful and worthwhile life that I will be living.Standing here now, I think of the past 15 years of this nation, which has achieved greatness that inspired millions of people of my age, most of whom will not attain fame or prestige and only a few of whom will be remembered by posterity.But that doesn't discourage us any, because we know that the world watches, the world listens, the world is waiting to see where this nation will be heading in a time of rich opportunities and fierce competition.I can't ever forget that little girl in my class who couldn't had the same opportunities as any of us here to enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopeful world tomorrow.It is the sacred responsibility of this generation to face up to the challenges of the new century and to devote our sweat and blood, our wisdom and passion, to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier land for every one of us.We are not going to evade that responsibility.We are going to let people down.And people, far and near, will hear of us.Frost will be brought to their backbones and tears to their eyes when our stories are told and retold, So let us go forth, my fellow members of this luckily chosen generation, and meet the new century in victory and glory.

21世紀(jì)杯全國英語演講比賽冠軍陳潔昊演講

My great-great-grandfather was very nervous, even though he had done it thousands of times.He and his teammates held their breath in total darkness…waiting for the music.At the age of 101, he knew it was likely his last chance to compete in a dancing contest.The drums kicked in and, slowly but surely, he started the moves of Gaoshan--a folk dance unique to my part of China.The music was serene...the motion was graceful....and everything was so harmonious.And then, everything changed!

The tempo sped up.The dancers started shaking their hips.It was completely unexpected but yes, they were dancing modern disco.I was delighted, but not everyone liked it.Some argued that the traditional dance was compromised by the inclusion of Western fluff.So I asked Angong, “Why not just do a typical Gaoshan dance?”

“Are you kidding me, sweetheart?” he replied.“Where would we be without some clashes and conflicts?”

That was Angong’s gut reaction, but what he implied set me thinking.“Where would we be without some clashes and conflicts?”

Looking back on the life of my great-great-grandfather, it was a journey marked by clashes every step of the way.When he was a teenager, China’s door was busted wide open.He cut off his ponytail following the end of Qing---China’s last feudal Dynasty.During the day,cars ran alongside rickshaws.At night, jazz clashed with Chinese opera.Dancing was a luxury reserved for the rich and privileged.When the People’s Republic was founded in 1949, Angong danced on the streets with joy.After years of unrest, he felt a sense of belonging and new possibilities.That was the moment he knew he wanted to be an artist.After the Cultural Revolution, Angong witnessed China’s reform and opening-up.Both Deng Lijun of Taiwan and the Carpenters of America were huge stars at the time.For the first time in years, Angong didn’t have to follow one set of doctrines or one form of dancing for that matter.Angong’s personal journey mirrored the transformation of a nation, a

transformation encapsulated in the life of a man who pursued artistic

expression.Please remember, Angong and his generations were born into a China that was struggling to keep at bay an outside world that threatened China’s

self-perception and self-rule.A century later, this is a different China, and fortunately, a China that has learned lessons history had to offer, and now it seeks to re-engage the west.Angong was a man of his times, but he has always been open to new voices, new ideas, new dances.He adapted, changed and grew by learning from the world around him, both Chinese and Western.By being open to each other, we can grow in unexpectedly beautiful ways, just like my Angong’s disco Gaoshan dance.Ladies and gentlemen, I implore you to join my great-great-grandfather and me as we dance with a spring in our step into that great unknown that will be our future.相關(guān)中文介紹
