From Oct 3 to 5, more than 400 students across China took part in the China Daily “21st Century Cup” National English Speaking Competition online. They gave speeches on different topics, such as their hometowns and China’s development (发展). Teens talk with the top three winners in the junior high school group. They share their ideas about making a good speech.
Champion(冠军):
I think the best part of my speech was my stage manner, such as my confident smile, proper body language and the right pace when I spoke. These manners make my speaking more attractive(吸引). It’s a great way to share ideas and call on people to take action.
—Wang Siqi, 15, Nanjing International School.
First runner-up(亚军):
I see public speaking as an art. You need to combine logic with emotion(结合逻辑与感情). You need to have stories as well as opinions. A good story makes your opinion stronger and easier to be accepted by others. And how you do that is the charm of public speaking.
—Lan Yunjie, 15, Shanghai Starriver Bilingual School.
Second runner-up(季军):
I often start my speech with a question. It can easily draw people’s attention (注意力). I also like to make impromptu speeches(即兴演讲) in front of a mirror whenever I have any thoughts. This habit helps me collect (积累) lots of ideas. That’s why I did a good job in the impromptu speaking part during the competition.
—Yang Zihan, 14, Gaoxin Middle School of Shenzhen Nanshan Foreign Language School.
