自招竞赛：21世纪杯全国英语演讲比赛

　　中国日报社“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛由中国日报社主办、二十一世纪英语教育传媒承办。创办于1996年，每年面向全国大中小学生及青年人群举行。活动高举习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想伟大旗帜，全面贯彻落实党的十九大精神，发展素质教育，提高中国青少年学生的国际交流能力。自创办以来，大赛作为每年5月在英国伦敦举行的国际公众演讲比赛(IPSC)的中国区官方wei/yi选拔赛，获胜者将代表中国在国际舞台上展示中国青年学子的风貌。

　　01“21世纪杯”简介

　　难度：★★★★

　　准备必要：★★★★

　　题型：题型分为三部分：已备演讲(30%)，既席演讲(40%)和现场问答(30%)。要求紧扣主题，结构清晰，论证合理，逻辑严谨，内容生动有创意。

　　02竞赛建议

　　备考建议：

　　·首先要构思好演讲内容，评委们看中有意义的观点和睿智的分析。不妨参考往届选手的演讲内容，同时联系本届比赛的主题。

　　·在准备演讲内容过程中，要注意语言的准确性和生动性，可以采用对照，比喻以及借用名人名言等方法。

　　·演讲中最难把控又最加分的一项是声音和语速。评委和观众们都喜欢声音洪亮、语速得当、发音标准、表达流畅，富有感染力的演讲者。除了声音和语速，形体动作所传递的信息也将直接影响选手的演讲效果。

　　·衣着要得体，身体要挺直，抬头挺胸，面带微笑，散发自信的光芒。

　　TIP：如果演讲中出现小意外，应礼貌得体而幽默地处理，而不是一脸茫然和明显的尴尬。

　　另外长期备考要注意的是：

　　1、词汇量的扩充。生僻词可以先放在一边，以常用词汇为主，尝试尽可能多地掌握日常词汇，这样在演讲当中不至于出现心中有话而表达不出的情况。可以分话题进行词汇准备，这样会更有针对性。

　　2、口语语音的纠正。对于大多数地区的考生来说，Chinglish仍是最常见的问题，很多考生连最基本的轻读重读都分辨不清，说“英音”更还是“美音”更无从谈起。因此考生应该在备赛期间有意的纠正自己语音语调方面的错误，有条件的同学可以多与外教进行交流，或者跟着录音大声朗读英语文章。

　　3、演讲技巧的掌握。参加本比赛，仅仅有充足的词汇量和标准的语音是不够的，考生还应掌握一定的演讲技巧，让评委听懂你想要表达什么，进而将评委说服，这会为你加分不少。

　　演讲稿：

　　On March 14th, 2018, professor Stephen William Hawking passed away. His contribution to inflationary cosmology has forever shifted our understanding of the universe. He wasn’t just a physicist for England, but for all mankind. His death marks the end of an era. He has passed the baton to a new generation of minds, to a new era. The exploration of nature waits for no man. So, are we ready to embrace the new era and new challenges?

　　When I was a kid, professor Hawking was known to me as the author of A Brief History of Time. I bought a lot of science books back then, but they were really difficult to understand. Whenever I stumbled, I would turn to my physics teacher for help. We would go through pages and pages of materials together, whether it was middle school stuff or Feynman’s lecture from Caltech, sometimes hours on end. I felt like we were tearing off the mask of nature and staring at the face of god. It was his guidance that encouraged me to study physics today. We’re living in an era in which science is embedded in people’s lives. From teachers who pass on knowledge, to construction workers who build labs; from organizations that provide funding, to scientists who conduct research, we all contribute to science in our own unique ways. We the people say we’re ready.

　　On October 5th, 2015, China finally had its first Nobel Prize in natural science. Ms. Tu Youyou’s work and her receiving the most prestigious science award made us proud. We’re living in an era in which China is building some of the best research projects and institutions worldwide. Just a month ago, Professor Zhang Miman won the UNESCO for Women in Science Award, making her the fifth Chinese recipient of this honor. A week after that, The Economist referred to China as “a continent-sized rapidly growing economy with a culture of scientific inquiry”. Physicist and vice president of the Chinese Academy of Science, Dr. Zhang Jie stated, “China now has the most accurate, sufficient and largest amount of data; China has the highest, fastest and best ability of data analysis. The Chinese government will be strongly pushing for the sharing and utilization of data resources.” We as a country say we’re ready.

　　Science is an immortal topic of mankind. We’ve come this far because we’ve learned to work together and let the ideas evolve. The dispute over the completeness of quantum mechanics, for example, was resolved in the 5th Solvay conference, attended by 29 physicists from 10 different countries who have won 15 Nobel Prizes combined. That was almost 100 years ago. Now we’re living in an era in which information is transmitted at the speed of light, in which “International cooperation” is not just a slogan anymore, especially to the scientific community. Chinese Academy of Science now has 47 partners overseas. The International Council for Science now includes 122 national members, 23 scientific associates and 31 scientific unions. The facilities of the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, are available to over 600 universities and institutes around the globe. We, the world, are more than ready.

　　We’re all made of particles that have existed since the beginning of the universe, I’d like to believe those particles traveled through countless eras to create us, so that we, the people, China, and the world, can stand on the shoulders of giants, march into the new era with our head held high, and make people like Professor Hawking proud.
