Globalization entails questions that concern us many young people my age in China, I want to see my country get prosperous and enjoy respect in the international it seems to me that mere patriotism is not just is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking and broaden our mind to bigger might never be easy answers to those issues such as globalization, but to take them on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges ing our is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech.第二篇：英語(yǔ)演講比賽稿to me march 28th was a lucky was on that particular evening that i found myself at central stage, in the the “21st centuryericsson cup” seventh national english speaking petition is a memory that i shall treasure and one that will surely stay.more important than winning the cup is the friendship that has been established and developed among the contestants, and the chance to municate offstage in addition to peting the petition helps boost public speaking in china, a skill hitherto me, though, the petition is a more personal shy, i had been reluctant to take part in any such by my friends, however, i made a lastminute decision to give it a the course of preparation i somehow rediscovered myself, a truer found that, after all, i like municating with other people。that exchanging views can be so much fun—and so much rewarding, both emotionally and intellectually。that public speaking is most effective when you are least guarded。and that it is essential to success in every walk of a more practical level, i realized knowing what you are going to say and how you are going to say it are equally take the original ideas out of your head and transplant them, so to speak, to that of others, you need to have an organized ability improves with there should not be any loss or addition or distortion in the ideas that finally find their waysintosanother head need to be recognizably is a means

speaker, you need to pay attention, first and foremost, to the content of your second, the structure of your speech: how one idea relates and progresses to after these e delivery and nonverbal munication: speed control, platform manner, and so is important, yet of greater importance is this: is your language petent enough to express your ideas exactly the way you intend them to be understood?i was informed afterwards that i was chosen to be the winner for my “appropriately worded speech, excellent presence and quickwitted response”.in so remarking, the judges clearly showed their preference: they e to listen for meaningful ideas, not for loose judgments, nor easy contestants failed to address their questions head were able to, but did not knowswheresto stop—the dragging on betrayed their lack of root cause was that they did not listen attentively to the they were thinking of what they had i said in my speech, “it is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking...to take them [issues like globalization] on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges ing our way”.we need to respond petition like this draws talented students from all over the of course, i learnt more things than just about public in the final analysis, public speaking is all about effective this goes true for all munications, whatever their the following is the final version of my speech:globalization:opportunities and challengesfor china39。s younger generationthirty years ago, american president richard nixon
