Literature to our mind is like the food to thought. And I believe, whatever vocation we hold, everyone needs a place reserved for the literature works in their heart. Literature makes me wise. By reading Shakespeare’s Macbeth, I understood the overarching ambition. By reading the Canterbury Tales, the cautionary tales in the Canterbury Tales, I understand the ambition and the greed may kill people in the end.
2. 正文：
主要观点的数量适宜控制在两到三个，不
宜过多。尤其是在一分钟的即兴演讲中，
主要观点不要超过两个，对每个观点解释
几句即可。
And first I hope my boyfriend could be well educated, let’s say smart. And second I hope that he can be a bosom friend. He can be my soulmate. I don’t think I need to explain more about the first point because I think everyone is trying to find someone who is smart, who is well educated, because they can always bring passion to your life. They can always come up with different ideas and can make you happy, and bring excitement to your life. And for me I’m just the same. And talking about the second point, I hope that I can find someone who can be also my soulmate. I hope that we two can understand each other. I think this is very important in the relationship of these
正文：

Language

What do you think of prosperity? What do you think are the characteristics of prosperity? Zhao: Excuse me, I beg your pardon? Judge: Materialism. Zhao: Uhn huh. Judge: Right. Some people think prosperity is only materialism. What do you think of prosperity?
Judge:…….. Contestant: Ok, thank you for your question. If I have understand your question correctly, you mean to ask me to suggest several examples that birds and human beings can co-exist peacefully together. Is that right?.... OK, umm……..
切忌在正文部分中翻来覆去，完成了一个
观点就进行下一个，千万不要正谈着第二
个观点时，突然想到第一个观点还有些补
充，于是又返回去谈第一个观点，这样会
显得结构混乱。
3. 结尾：
对于结尾部分，许多选手因为时间紧迫，草 草收场。其实应该用一两句总结你的主要观 点作为结尾，给听众一种完整的感觉。这对 一分钟和三分钟的演讲同样适用。 So these are the two main points that I, uh, these are two main requirements that I look for. Thank you.
问答部分的台上技巧：
1.首先，要听清评委的问题。切忌：注意力不 集中、听得过于仔细、过早下结论或过分注意 演讲者的外表和演讲风格。 前往不要假装听懂，似懂非懂。如果听懂了问 题，最好也要重复或用自己的话复述一下评委 的问题，尤其当这个问题比较长，或比较复杂 时。这是一个良好的习惯，不仅可以验证你是 否听懂了评委的问题，还可以给自己多留一些 时间进行思考，组织语言回答问题。
表递进的：moreover, in addition, not only, also, furthermore, besides

First, nothing is perfect. Everything changes. The world is changing. People are changing. And so the art should catch up with the change of the world. So I say that the opera, the Peking Opera we are enjoying today is different than it was 10 years ago, so much different than it was a hundred years ago. Now we still enjoy it so much because we’re changing. The opera is changing. It’s good to have some beneficial good things to Peking Opera to enrich and improve itself. Second, the more things we adopt from different cultures and different countries, the more it will be popular. And it will be enjoyable worldwide.
