上海宏润博源学校英语演讲舞台尽显风采

　　用”语出惊人“来形容上海宏润博源学校本场英语演讲赛并不为过。本场赛事于本周一CAS时间举行。比赛由不同的英语等级来分组。

　　The CAS session on Monday saw the final of speech contest for this semester. The candidates were divided into 3 groups according to their different English levels. This final could be appropriately described as “amazing”.

　　首先上场的是九年级的刘星雨同学。她为我们推荐了一部叫The Desert Flower的电影，讲述一个出生于封闭的沙漠环境的女孩如何一步步成为世界名模。故事和演讲很励志。

　　The first candidate to speak on the stage was Crystal Liu, a 9th grader. She recommended to us a movie named “The Desert Flower”, which told a story of how a girl who was born in a secluded desert managed step by step to become a world-famous model. She delivered the speech by telling the story in an inspiring manner.

　　疫情带给我们的震惊和思考是深沉的。林夕童、孙嘉皓和杨舒涵同学，以独特的视角看疫情。林为我们分析本次新冠疫情带来的影响;孙同学介绍了疫情对运动的影响，正所谓“不进则退”，他呼吁大家在风波过后加入运动的队伍。杨舒涵同学的演讲主题是 “Mask Diplomacy (口罩外交)”，谈的是各国之间的口罩捐赠数量、动机、影响等等。

　　The covid-19 pandemic greatly shocked the entire world and made us reflect upon ourselves. Selina Lin, Stephen Sun, and Felicity Yang viewed the pandemic from three different perspectives. Selina analyzed the effects that the pandemic has had on us; Stephen talked about how the pandemic has affected sports activities.He argued that “no progress simply means regression.”, and called on us to join sports teams and get exercise after the pandemic. Felicity spoke on “Mask Diplomacy”, which was about the number of masks donated among different countries, the intentions behind the donation and the impact that the donation has made on them.

　　国足一直被骂，热爱足球的蒋承佑同学粗略的分析了“为什么国足比不过欧美与南美国家足球队”的原因。欧美的专业培训、南美的放养，这些都为国家培养了大量的足球干将;狄子婷同学讲了自己成功减肥的故事以告诉大家坚持的道理和好处;顾政同学的演讲主题是Hypothesis(猜想)，他介绍了什么是猜想和猜想的益处。

　　Considering that the Chinese soccer team has always been scolded, Leo Jiang roughly analyzed the reasons why the Chinese teams keep losing to those European teams and teams from South America. Both the European-style professional coaching and the South American free-style coaching have contributed a large number of soccer stars for their countries. Judy gave us a speech on how she herself had succeeded in losing weight by holding on, thus making us realize the importance and benefits of persistence. Murphy spoke on the topic of “Hypothesis”, he defined hypothesis and explained the advantages brought by making hypotheses.

　　最后，为大家特别推出小编喜欢的两位演讲人。

　　Finally, the editor would like to introduce two candidates whom she favored most.

　　梁雨凡同学选择了一个非常特殊的话题，婚姻与爱情。当情潮咆哮之时，理智将会被深埋于底;当汹涌的巨浪逐渐消失在海岸上，曾经的一切都会暴露出其惨不堪言的真容。对于婚姻的选择是那么的残酷与困难，但是其过程却又是如此的具有吸引力。

　　Hina Liang chose to speak on a very special topic, “Marriage and Love”. When the tide growls, reason will be buried deep in the bottom; when the surging waves gradually disappear on the coast, everything we once experienced will reveal miserable itself. The choice of marriage is so cruel and difficult, yet the process of it is so appealing.

　　蔡晗啸同学是讲述自己一年前的成长历程——如何在40天内1从托福73分到109分。他分享着享受学习过程的方式与理念，演讲深深地抓住了同学们的心。他在演讲台上自信自如，如在生活的舞台上，指挥倜傥，去领略一个个峰巅的美景。

　　Hanxiao Cai told us his own experience a year ago, and he elaborated on how he managed to improve his TOEFL score from 73 to 109. He shared with us his way and concepts of finding pleasure in learning, and the audience were deeply fascinated by his speech. During his speech, he appeared confident of and comfortable with speaking as if he were showing us the glory of peaks in his life.

　　一场演讲赛事很快结束了。但各类赛事中同学们获得的成功体验，舞台上风采照人的光辉，延续在学习和生活中。成长，就这么轻易。

　　The speech contest soon came to an end. However, in their future, students will keep benefiting from the successful experience they have gained from various competitions. And, that's how they grow up and become better.
