Speech in English: Part One
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen,
Today, I would like to address a topic that is of great importance in our modern society: the impact of technology on communication. As we all know, technology has revolutionized the way we communicate, making it faster and more convenient than ever before. However, along with the numerous benefits, there are also some drawbacks that we need to be aware of.
Firstly, let us explore the positive aspects of technology in communication. With the advent of smartphones and social media platforms, we are now able to connect with others from all around the world within seconds. Long gone are the days of waiting for letters or making expensive long-distance phone calls. We can now instantly share our thoughts, feelings, and experiences through various messaging apps and social networking sites. This has undoubtedly brought people closer together, bridging the gaps of time and distance.
Moreover, technology has also provided us with endless opportunities for self-expression and creativity. Platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok have enabled individuals to showcase their talents and ideas to a global audience. This has not only fostered a sense of community and support, but it has also created new career paths for people in fields such as content creation and digital marketing.
However, despite these advantages, we must also acknowledge the negative effects of technology on communication. One major concern is the loss of face-to-face interaction. With the rise of online communication, we are becoming increasingly reliant on screens to connect with others. This can lead to a decrease in real-life social skills and a lack of meaningful connections. Additionally, the constant use of technology can also contribute to feelings of isolation and loneliness, as we may find ourselves immersed in virtual worlds rather than engaging with the people around us.
Furthermore, the excessive use of technology in communication has also given rise to issues such as cyberbullying and online harassment. The anonymity provided by the internet has emboldened individuals to engage in harmful behavior without facing consequences. This has had detrimental effects on mental health and has created a toxic online environment for many individuals.
In conclusion, while technology has undoubtedly revolutionized the way we communicate, it is important to strike a balance between the convenience it offers and the potential negative impacts it can have. We must not forget the value of face-to-face interaction and genuine human connections. Let us use technology as a tool to enhance our communication skills and bring us closer together, rather than allowing it to isolate us from the world around us.
Thank you for your attention.
Speech in English: Part Two
Ladies and gentlemen,
Today, I stand before you to address an issue that has been the topic of much discussion and debate: the importance of mental health awareness. Mental health is a fundamental aspect of our overall well-being, yet it is often overlooked and stigmatized in our society. It is time for us to break the silence and prioritize our mental health, just as we do our physical health.
Firstly, let us acknowledge that mental health affects every single one of us. It does not discriminate based on age, gender, or social status. We all have our own struggles and challenges, and it is important to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals can openly discuss their mental health concerns without fear of judgment or discrimination.
Secondly, we need to recognize that mental health is just as important as physical health. Just as we take care of our bodies by eating well and exercising, we must also take care of our minds. Mental health affects every aspect of our lives, from our relationships to our work performance. When we neglect our mental health, it can have serious consequences on our overall well-being.
Furthermore, it is crucial to debunk the myths and misconceptions surrounding mental health. Mental illnesses are not a sign of weakness or personal failure, but rather a medical condition that requires support and treatment. By educating ourselves and others, we can help reduce the stigma associated with mental health and encourage individuals to seek the help they need.
Additionally, we need to ensure that mental health services are accessible to all. Unfortunately, there are still many barriers that prevent individuals from receiving the care they require. These barriers can include financial constraints, lack of awareness about available resources, and social stigma. It is our responsibility to advocate for affordable and comprehensive mental health services for everyone.
In conclusion, mental health is a vital component of our overall well-being. It is time for us to prioritize mental health, break the silence, and create a society that supports and values the mental well-being of its members. Let us work together to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and ensure that mental health services are accessible to all.
Thank you for your attention.

over the years, bill clinton showed himself to be much more than a good politician. his home state elected him governor in the 1970s, the 1980s, and the 1990s, because he was an innovator, a serious student of policy, and a man of great compassion. in the white house, the whole nation witnessed his brilliance and mastery of detail, his persuasive power, and his persistence. the president is not the kind to give up a fight. his staffers were known to say, "if clinton were the titanic, the iceberg would sink."
during his presidency, bill clinton seized important opportunities on issues from welfare to free trade. he was a tireless champion of peace in the middle east. he used american power in the balkans to confront aggression and halt ethnic cleansing. and in all his actions and decisions, the american people sensed a deep empathy for the poor and the powerless. shortly before leaving office, president clinton said, "christ admonished us that our lives will be judged by how we do unto the least of our neighbors." throughout his career, bill clinton has done his best to live up to that standard. and americans respect him for it. at every stage of his remarkable life, president clinton has made and kept countless friends, who share in the joy of this day. and three people in particular have the largest part in this remarkable story. one day more than 30 years ago, inside the yale law library, a fellow student walked over to bill clinton and said, "if you're going to keep staring at me, and i'm going to keep staring back, we ought to at least know each other's name. mine's hillary rodham. what is yours?"that was a good day for both of them, and the beginning of a partnership unique in american history. so today, we honor the former first lady of arkansas, the former first lady of america, the united states senator from new york, senator hillary rodham clinton.
perhaps the clintons' greatest achievement is their daughter, who moved into the white house as a young girl, and left as an accomplished young lady. it's not easy to be a teenager in the white house, but it's a lot easier when you have a loving mother and a loving father that chelsea clinton had.

no love among relatives has become a normal phenomenon which needn't to be fussed about. what's worse is when love is contaminated by money. sooner or later we will get hurt. the sooner we get out of this net of love, the more we can preserve beautiful memories.
delicacies are tasty, but eating everyday can still make one lose appetite. happiness is what everyone longs for, but too much happiness can spoil people who may not care about the happiness they already have. it's universal to live in happiness without knowing it. the same is true with love. very few people can love the same person passionately all their lives. all love stories come to an end no matter how beautiful they are, which also demonstrate th
e changeability of love. what one has been chasing wildly may turn into something one wants to get rid of desperately in the end. besides, love is usually blind, especially those who fall in love at the first sight. at the very beginning, both try to demonstrate their beautiful side and cover up their weakness. fooled by the mysterious color of love, one often mistakes the weaknesses as merits. however, as time passes by, frequent contacts make one bored, and even merits become defects, and then the end of love is coming. what's more, there are the capricious men and women who never take love seriously, leaving the devoted ones suffering alone. the saying that the devoted is always abandoned by the heartless has almost become the truth of love affairs. what we can't neglect is that love may turn into hatred, and lovers may also become enemies. the best proof is the numerous porces.
英文的演讲稿 篇六
演讲的开头,也叫开场白。它在演讲稿的结构中处于显要的地位,具有特殊的作用。演讲稿的开头,通常有以下几种:
1)开门见山,揭示主题
一般政治性的或者学术性的演讲稿都是开门见山,直接揭示演讲的中心。比如宋庆龄《在接受加拿大维多利亚大学荣誉法学博士学位仪式上的讲话》的开头:“我为接受加拿大维多利亚大学荣誉法学博士学位感到荣幸。”
运用这种方法,必须先明确把握演讲的中心,把要向听众揭示的论点摆出来,使听众一听就知道讲的中心是什么,注意力马上集中起来。但这种方法容易显得过于平淡、冷静,很难吸引人。
2)说明情况,介绍背景。
比如恩格斯《在马克思墓前的讲话》的开头:“三月十四日两点三刻,当代最伟大的思想家停止了思想,……--但已经永远的睡着了。”
这个开头对事情发生的时间地点人物作出了必要的说明,为进一步向听众揭示论题做准备。运用这种方法开头,一定要从演讲的的中心论点出发,不能信口开河,离题万里,更要防止套话、空话,败坏听者的胃口。
3)提出问题,引起关注。
写演讲稿的开头,可根据听众的特点和演讲的内容,提出一些激发听众思考的问题,以引起听众的兴趣。这种问题应该新颖、独特,确实能促使听众去思考。
演讲稿的开头有多种方法,通常用的主要有:
1.开门见山,提示主题。这种开头是一开讲,就进入正题,直接提示演讲的中心。例如宋庆龄《在接受加拿大维多利亚大学荣誉法学博士学位仪式上的讲话》的开头:“我为接受加拿大维多利亚大学荣誉法学博士学位感到荣幸。”运用这种方法,必须先明晰地把握演讲的中心,把要向听众提示的论点摆出来,使听众一听就知道讲的中心是什么,注意力马上集中起来。
2.介绍情况,说明根由。这种开头可以迅速缩短与听众的距离,使听众急于了解下文。在1814年生于萨尔茨维德尔。她的父亲冯·威斯特华伦男爵在特利尔城时和马克思一家很亲近;两家人的孩子在一块长大。当马克思进大学的时候,他和自己未来的妻子已经知道他们的生命将永远地连接在一起了。”这个开头对发生的事情、人物对象作出必要的介绍和说明,为进一步向听众提示论题作了铺垫。
3.提出问题,引起关注。这种方法是根据听众的特点和演讲的内容,提出一些激发听众思考的问题,以引起听众的注意。例如弗雷德里克·道格拉斯1854年7月4日在美国纽约州罗彻斯特市举行的国庆大会上发表的.《谴责奴隶制的演说》,一开讲就能引发听众的积极思考,把人们带到一个愤怒而深沉的情境中去:“公民们,请恕我问一问,今天为什么邀我在这儿发言?我,或者我所代表的奴隶们,同你们的国庆节有什么相干?《独立宣言》中阐明的政治自由和生来平等的原则难道也普降到我们的头上?因而要我来向国家的祭坛奉献上我们卑微的贡品,承认我们得到并为你们的独立带给我们的恩典而表达虔诚的谢意么?”除了以上三种方法,还有释题式、悬念式、警策式、幽默式、双关式、抒情式等。
开场白技巧
1.开门见山,不讲多余的话
有的人演讲,开头常讲一些没有必要的客套话。叶圣陶对此曾评述说:“谁也明白,这些都是谦虚的话。可是,在说出来之前,演讲者未免少了一点思考。你说不曾预备,没有什么可以说的,那么为什么要上演说台呢?随后说出来的,无论是三言二语或长篇大论,又算不算'可以说的’呢?你说随便说说,没有什么意思,那么刚才的一本正经,是不是连场作欢呢?自己都相信不过的话,却要说给人家听,又算是一种什么态度呢?”其实,演讲者说这种“多余的话”,并不一定是出自本心,不过是受了陈规旧套的影响,听人家这么说,自己也这么说,结果,往往是使听众松弛了注意力。
实例一:
一般政治性或学术性的演讲稿都是开门见山,直接揭示演讲的中心。如邓小平的《党和国家领导制度的改革》的开头:
这次扩大会议,主要是讨论党和国家领导制度的改革以及—些有关问题。
实例二:
再如张承先的《“三个面向”是教育改革的指针》的开头:
1983年9月,邓小平同志又提出“教育要面向现代比,面向世界,面向未来”。“三个面向"指明了斯历史时期教育工作的战略方向,是今后教育改革的总指针。
这样的开头,使听众一听就知道明白讲的是是什么,注意力马上就能集中起来。
2.交代背景,说明演讲的目的和原因
实例:
例如《在欢迎民主柬埔寨代表闭宴会上李先念主席的讲话》的开头:
在我国举国上下,万众欢腾,热烈庆祝中华人民共和国诞生三十五周年的日子里,以西哈努克亲王为团长,宋双和乔森潘阁下为副团长的民主柬埔察代表团特地来参加我国的庆祝活动,并进行正式友好访问,我们感到格外高兴。我代表中国政府和人民,对你们的光临表示热烈的欢迎和哀仓的感谢。
这个开头,说明了这次演讲的背景、起因,使听众了解这篇讲话是在怎样的一种情况下讲的。
