g for about 20 minutes in the darkness, I was very uneasy and also scared. I stood there, staring into the direction which the bus should e from. But there was no bus but a street singer singing some unknown songs with his noisy guitar. The wind brought a feeling of chill, and as more and more stores closed and fewer and fewer people passed by, I couldnamp。t help shivering in the cold darkness. Suddenly, a piece of familiar music flowed into my ear. It was the bestknown Chinese folk song: the Jasmine Flower! He was playing the Jasmine Flower with his guitar. Automatically, I tuned my Chinese ears to the familiar and nostalgic melody, with my heart warmed and my eyes wet. He played that music again and again until the bus came and I went aboard . From strangeness, misunderstanding to cross cultural resonance, it takes three generations. The driving force behind the change is globalization, which offers opportunities for cultures to meet, to break down barriers between countries, and to bring peoples together. When the Chinese folk song played by an American street singer got me through coldness and fear, I also came to realize that intimate connection brought about by globalization and also cross cultural resonance can also help the world get through difficulties and disputes. Ladies and gentlemen, if you would ask me whether globalization is enough, I will definitely say amp。noamp。. Globalization is a powerful force available to us, enabling people to municate, to help, and to warm, just like what the American street singer did to me at that cold and dark night. 英語比賽演講稿篇五 amp。Globalization is a conspiracy.amp。 my South African friend, Nuhu, once told me. I was in a shock while he explained, amp。Itamp。s a game that weamp。re forced to play by the rules set by the superior westerners.amp。 And by learning about the drive of the original globalization, the primitive accumulation of capital, Iamp。m convinced that enough is enough. The unequal, violent exchange should have been enough since a long time ago. However, what we do see today is that China has risen up by selling our products around the globe and learning advanced technology from others. And Africa is also believed to be the next China, another economic hub in the near future. So, although this might be an unfair game to play like what Nuhu claims, what he fails to see is that globalization is the very ladder for nations, especially those at the bottom of the global hierarchy to climb up. This winwin globalization is not enough. We can have more of it. But what is the backlash? We have been fearing that the tide of globalization, the outpouring of western values will undermine our own. So when the global stage is not hearing a lot from the Chinese culture and not to mention the African culture, I guess Nuhu is onto something. The globalization that amplifies some cultures while extinguishing the others should have been enough since the very beginning. And yet thatamp。s not the whole picture. We see that our traditional works like Sun Tzuamp。s Art of War being worshiped by businessmen around the globe makes us start to relook at it and appreciate it again. And the Nobel Prize awarding for Moyanamp。s literature leads us to reflect on the development of our villages. So in the past, only we, Chinese people protect and pass on Chinese culture。rsquo。rsquo。 sameness and differences。rsquo。rsquo。rs
