英语演讲稿:用肢体语言来塑造自己
so i want to start by offering you a free no-tech life hack, and all it requires of you is this: that you change your posture for two minutes. but before i give it away, i want to ask you to right now do a little audit of your body and what you're doing with your body. so how many of you are sort of making yourselves smaller? maybe you're hunching, crossing your legs, maybe wrapping your ankles. sometimes we hold onto our arms like this. sometimes we spread out. (laughter) i see you. (laughter) so i want you to pay attention to what you're doing right now. we're going to come back to that in a few minutes, and i'm hoping that if you learn to tweak this a little bit, it could significantly change the way your life unfolds.
so, we're really fascinated with body language, and we're particularly interested in other people's body language. you know, we're interested in, like, you know — (laughter) — an awkward interaction, or a smile, or a contemptuous glance, or maybe a very awkward wink, or maybe even something like a handshake.
narrator: here they are arriving at number 10, and look at this lucky policeman gets to shake hands with the president of the united states. oh, and here comes the prime minister of the — ? no. (laughter) (applause) (laughter) (applause)
amy cuddy: so a handshake, or the lack of a handshake, can have us talking for weeks and weeks and weeks. even the bbc and the new york times. so obviously when we think about nonverbal behavior, or body language -- but we call it nonverbals as social scientists -- it's language, so we think about communication. when we think about communication, we think about interactions. so what is your body language communicating to me? what's mine communicating to you?
and there's a lot of reason to believe that this is a valid way to look at this. so social scientists have spent a lot of time looking at the effects of our body language, or other people's body language, on judgments. and we make sweeping judgments and inferences from body language. and those judgments can predict really meaningful life outcomes like who we hire or promote, who we ask out on a date. for example, nalini ambady, a researcher at tufts university, shows that when people watch 30-second soundless clips of real physician-patient interactions, their judgments of the physician's niceness predict whether or not that physician will be sued. so it doesn't have to do so much with whether or not that physician was incompetent, but do we like that person and how they interacted? even more dramatic, alex todorov at princeton has shown us that judgments of political candidates' faces in just one second predict 70 percent of u.s. senate and gubernatorial race outcomes, and even, let's go digital, emoticons used well in online negotiations can lead to you claim more value from that negotiation. if you use them poorly, bad idea. right? so when we think of nonverbals, we think of how we judge others, how they judge us and what the outcomes are. we tend to forget, though, the other audience that's influenced by our nonverbals, and that's ourselves.
we are also influenced by our nonverbals, our thoughts and our feelings and our physiology. so what nonverbals am i talking about? i'm a social psychologist. i study prejudice, and i teach at a competitive business school, so it was inevitable that i would become interested in power dynamics. i became especially interested in nonverbal expressions of power and dominance.
and what are nonverbal expressions of power and dominance? well, this is what they are. so in the animal kingdom, they are about expanding. so you make yourself big, you stretch out, you take up space, you're basically opening up. it's about opening up. and this is true across the animal kingdom. it's not just limited to primates. and humans do the same thing. (laughter) so they do this both when they have power sort of chronically, and also when they're feeling powerful in the moment. and this one is especially interesting because it really shows us how universal and old these expressions of power are. this expression, which is known as pride, jessica tracy has studied. she shows that people who are born with sight and people who are congenitally blind do this when they win at a physical competition. so when they cross the finish line and they've won, it doesn't matter if they've never seen anyone do it. they do this. so the arms up in the v, the chin is slightly lifted. what do we do when we feel powerless? we do exactly the opposite. we close up. we wrap ourselves up. we make ourselves small. we don't want to bump into the person next to us. so again, both animals and humans do the same thing. and this is what happens when you put together high and low power. so what we tend to do when it comes to power is that we complement the other's nonverbals. so if someone is being really powerful with us, we tend to make ourselves smaller. we don't mirror them. we do the opposite of them.
so i'm watching this behavior in the classroom, and what do i notice? i notice that mba students really exhibit the full range of power nonverbals. so you have people who are like caricatures of alphas, really coming into the room, they get right into the middle of the room before class even starts, like they really want to occupy space. when they sit down, they're sort of spread out. they raise their hands like this. you have other people who are virtually collapsing when they come in. as soon they come in, you see it. you see it on their faces and their bodies, and they sit in their chair and they make themselves tiny, and they go like this when they raise their hand. i notice a couple of things about this. one, you're not going to be surprised. it seems to be related to gender. so women are much more likely to do this kind of thing than men. women feel chronically less powerful than men, so this is not surprising. but the other thing i noticed is that it also seemed to be related to the extent to which the students were participating, and how well they were participating. and this is really important in the mba classroom, because participation counts for half the grade.
so business schools have been struggling with this gender grade gap. you get these equally qualified women and men coming in and then you get these differences in grades, and it seems to be partly attributable to participation. so i started to wonder, you know, okay, so you have these people coming in like this, and they're participating. is it possible that we could get people to fake it and would it lead them to participate more?
so my main collaborator dana carney, who's at berkeley, and i really wanted to know, can you fake it till you make it? like, can you do this just for a little while and actually experience a behavioral outcome that makes you seem more powerful? so we know that our nonverbals govern how other people think and feel about us. there's a lot of evidence. but our question really was, do our nonverbals govern how we think and feel about ourselves?
there's some evidence that they do. so, for example, we smile when we feel happy, but also, when we're forced to smile by holding a pen in our teeth like this, it makes us feel happy. so it goes both ways. when it comes to power, it also goes both ways. so when you feel powerful, you're more likely to do this, but it's also possible that when you pretend to be powerful, you are more likely to actually feel powerful.
so the second question really was, you know, so we know that our minds change our bodies, but is it also true that our bodies change our minds? and when i say minds, in the case of the powerful, what am i talking about? so i'm talking about thoughts and feelings and the sort of physiological things that make up our thoughts and feelings, and in my case, that's hormones. i look at hormones. so what do the minds of the powerful versus the powerless look like? so powerful people tend to be, not surprisingly, more assertive and more confident, more optimistic. they actually feel that they're going to win even at games of chance. they also tend to be able to think more abstractly. so there are a lot of differences. they take more risks. there are a lot of differences between powerful and powerless people. physiologically, there also are differences on two key hormones: testosterone, which is the dominance hormone, and cortisol, which is the stress hormone. so what we find is that high-power alpha males in primate hierarchies have high testosterone and low cortisol, and powerful and effective leaders also have high testosterone and low cortisol. so what does that mean? when you think about power, people tended to think only about testosterone, because that was about dominance. but really, power is also about how you react to stress. so do you want the high-power leader that's dominant, high on testosterone, but really stress reactive? probably not, right? you want the person who's powerful and assertive and dominant, but not very stress reactive, the person who's laid back.
so we know that in primate hierarchies, if an alpha needs to take over, if an individual needs to take over an alpha role sort of suddenly, within a few days, that individual's testosterone has gone up significantly and his cortisol has dropped significantly. so we have this evidence, both that the body can shape the mind, at least at the facial level, and also that role changes can shape the mind. so what happens, okay, you take a role change, what happens if you do that at a really minimal level, like this tiny manipulation, this tiny intervention? "for two minutes," you say, "i want you to stand like this, and it's going to make you feel more powerful."
so this is what we did. we decided to bring people into the lab and run a little experiment, and these people adopted, for two minutes, either high-power poses or low-power poses, and i'm just going to show you five of the poses, although they took on only two. so here's one. a couple more. this one has been dubbed the "wonder woman" by the media. here are a couple more. so you can be standing or you can be sitting. and here are the low-power poses. so you're folding up, you're making yourself small. this one is very low-power. when you're touching your neck, you're really protecting yourself. so this is what happens. they come in, they spit into a vial, we for two minutes say, "you need to do this or this." they don't look at pictures of the poses. we don't want to prime them with a concept of power. we want them to be feeling power, right? so two minutes they do this. we then ask them, "how powerful do you feel?" on a series of items, and then we give them an opportunity to gamble, and then we take another saliva sample. that's it. that's the whole experiment.
so this is what we find. risk tolerance, which is the gambling, what we find is that when you're in the high-power pose condition, 86 percent of you will gamble. when you're in the low-power pose condition, only 60 percent, and that's a pretty whopping significant difference. here's what we find on testosterone. from their baseline when they come in, high-power people experience about a 20-percent increase, and low-power people experience about a 10-percent decrease. so again, two minutes, and you get these changes. here's what you get on cortisol. high-power people experience about a 25-percent decrease, and the low-power people experience about a 15-percent increase. so two minutes lead to these hormonal changes that configure your brain to basically be either assertive, confident and comfortable, or really stress-reactive, and, you know, feeling sort of shut down. and we've all had the feeling, right? so it seems that our nonverbals do govern how we think and feel about ourselves, so it's not just others, but it's also ourselves. also, our bodies change our minds.
but the next question, of course, is can power posing for a few minutes really change your life in meaningful ways? so this is in the lab. it's this little task, you know, it's just a couple of minutes. where can you actually apply this? which we cared about, of course. and so we think it's really, what matters, i mean, where you want to use this is evaluative situations like social threat situations. where are you being evaluated, either by your friends? like for teenagers it's at the lunchroom table. it could be, you know, for some people it's speaking at a school board meeting. it might be giving a pitch or giving a talk like this or doing a job interview. we decided that the one that most people could relate to because most people had been through was the job interview.
so we published these findings, and the media are all over it, and they say, okay, so this is what you do when you go in for the job interview, right? (laughter) you know, so we were of course horrified, and said, oh my god, no, no, no, that's not what we meant at all. for numerous reasons, no, no, no, don't do that. again, this is not about you talking to other people. it's you talking to yourself. what do you do before you go into a job interview? you do this. right? you're sitting down. you're looking at your iphone -- or your android, not trying to leave anyone out. you are, you know, you're looking at your notes, you're hunching up, making yourself small, when really what you should be doing maybe is this, like, in the bathroom, right? do that. find two minutes. so that's what we want to test. okay? so we bring people into a lab, and they do either high- or low-power poses again, they go through a very stressful job interview. it's five minutes long. they are being recorded. they're being judged also, and the judges are trained to give no nonverbal feedback, so they look like this. like, imagine this is the person interviewing you. so for five minutes, nothing, and this is worse than being heckled. people hate this. it's what marianne lafrance calls "standing in social quicksand." so this really spikes your cortisol. so this is the job interview we put them through, because we really wanted to see what happened. we then have these coders look at these tapes, four of them. they're blind to the hypothesis. they're blind to the conditions. they have no idea who's been posing in what pose, and they end up looking at these sets of tapes, and they say, "oh, we want to hire these people," -- all the high-power posers -- "we don't want to hire these people. we also evaluate these people much more positively overall." but what's driving it? it's not about the content of the speech. it's about the presence that they're bringing to the speech. we also, because we rate them on all these variables related to competence, like, how well-structured is the speech? how good is it? what are their qualifications? no effect on those things. this is what's affected. these kinds of things. people are bringing their true selves, basically. they're bringing themselves. they bring their ideas, but as themselves, with no, you know, residue over them. so this is what's driving the effect, or mediating the effect.
so when i tell people about this, that our bodies change our minds and our minds can change our behavior, and our behavior can change our outcomes, they say to me, "i don't -- it feels fake." right? so i said, fake it till you make it. i don't -- it's not me. i don't want to get there and then still feel like a fraud. i don't want to feel like an impostor. i don't want to get there only to feel like i'm not supposed to be here. and that really resonated with me, because i want to tell you a little story about being an impostor and feeling like i'm not supposed to be here.
when i was 19, i was in a really bad car accident. i was thrown out of a car, rolled several times. i was thrown from the car. and i woke up in a head injury rehab ward, and i had been withdrawn from college, and i learned that my i.q. had dropped by two standard deviations, which was very traumatic. i knew my i.q. because i had identified with being smart, and i had been called gifted as a child. so i'm taken out of college, i keep trying to go back. they say, "you're not going to finish college. just, you know, there are other things for you to do, but that's not going to work out for you." so i really struggled with this, and i have to say, having your identity taken from you, your core identity, and for me it was being smart, having that taken from you, there's nothing that leaves you feeling more powerless than that. so i felt entirely powerless. i worked and worked and worked, and i got lucky, and worked, and got lucky, and worked.
eventually i graduated from college. it took me four years longer than my peers, and i convinced someone, my angel advisor, susan fiske, to take me on, and so i ended up at princeton, and i was like, i am not supposed to be here. i am an impostor. and the night before my first-year talk, and the first-year talk at princeton is a 20-minute talk to 20 people. that's it. i was so afraid of being found out the next day that i called her and said, "i'm quitting." she was like, "you are not quitting, because i took a gamble on you, and you're staying. you're going to stay, and this is what you're going to do. you are going to fake it. you're going to do every talk that you ever get asked to do. you're just going to do it and do it and do it, even if you're terrified and just paralyzed and having an out-of-body experience, until you have this moment where you say, 'oh my gosh, i'm doing it. like, i have become this. i am actually doing this.'" so that's what i did. five years in grad school, a few years, you know, i'm at northwestern, i moved to harvard, i'm at harvard, i'm not really thinking about it anymore, but for a long time i had been thinking, "not supposed to be here. not supposed to be here."
so at the end of my first year at harvard, a student who had not talked in class the entire semester, who i had said, "look, you've gotta participate or else you're going to fail," came into my office. i really didn't know her at all. and she said, she came in totally defeated, and she said, "i'm not supposed to be here." and that was the moment for me. because two things happened. one was that i realized, oh my gosh, i don't feel like that anymore. you know. i don't feel that anymore, but she does, and i get that feeling. and the second was, she is supposed to be here! like, she can fake it, she can become it. so i was like, "yes, you are! you are supposed to be here! and tomorrow you're going to fake it, you're going to make yourself powerful, and, you know, you're gonna — " (applause) (applause) "and you're going to go into the classroom, and you are going to give the best comment ever." you know? and she gave the best comment ever, and people turned around and they were like, oh my god, i didn't even notice her sitting there, you know? (laughter)
she comes back to me months later, and i realized that she had not just faked it till she made it, she had actually faked it till she became it. so she had changed. and so i want to say to you, don't fake it till you make it. fake it till you become it. you know? it's not — do it enough until you actually become it and internalize.
the last thing i'm going to leave you with is this. tiny tweaks can lead to big changes. so this is two minutes. two minutes, two minutes, two minutes. before you go into the next stressful evaluative situation, for two minutes, try doing this, in the elevator, in a bathroom stall, at your desk behind closed doors. that's what you want to do. configure your brain to cope the best in that situation. get your testosterone up. get your cortisol down. don't leave that situation feeling like, oh, i didn't show them who i am. leave that situation feeling like, oh, i really feel like i got to say who i am and show who i am.
so i want to ask you first, you know, both to try power posing, and also i want to ask you to share the science, because this is simple. i don't have ego involved in this. (laughter) give it away. share it with people, because the people who can use it the most are the ones with no resources and no technology and no status and no power. give it to them because they can do it in private. they need their bodies, privacy and two minutes, and it can significantly change the outcomes of their life. thank you. (applause) (applause
第2篇 演讲稿写作的语言特点
演讲的语言既具有比较强的逻辑性,同时呢也具有一定的艺术性。有了好的材料,也有了好的结构,还必须通过优美动听的语言来表达。下面是小编为大家收集关于演讲稿写作的语言特点,欢迎借鉴参考。
一,演讲语言通俗易懂
用浅显的话语说明深刻的道理是应用语言的真本事是最受欢迎的。
通常讲故事能有效地使演讲语言通俗易懂,并且呢具有启发性。比如说关于读书要有计划的话题,有人说,散漫的读书是人生的浪费,最要紧的是要有组织地去读。这话呢说的有些诗意,但不如讲一个故事更容易让人接受。
爱迪生到图书馆去读书,把书架上最先看到的书取下来看,演完了取下,第二个再念。有一天呢,图书管理员就问他读了多少书,他回答15英尺,他是没有受到指导,没有计划,只是从书架的这端到那端的面子。图书管理员教他读书的计划,就这样,没有受过学校教育的少年,终于成为当时知识最丰富的科学家之一。这一个故事形象地说明了有计划的读书的成效性。
二,演讲语言准确鲜明
准确,就是要透过现象如实地揭示事物的本质,鲜明就是演讲者的思想观点和爱憎,感情,分明不含糊。在鲁迅先生逝世十周年的纪念会上,周恩来说,鲁迅先生说横眉冷对千夫指,俯首甘为孺子牛,这是鲁迅先生的方向,也是鲁迅先生的立场。
在人民面前,鲁迅先生痛恨的是反动派,对于反动派,所谓千夫指我们是只有横眉冷对的,不怕的。我们要以眼还眼,以牙还牙,假如是对人民,我们要如孺子牛一样的为他们做牛的,要诚诚恳恳,老老实实为人民服务。这一段演讲采用对比的手法,准确鲜明地阐述了鲁迅的方向立场和爱憎感情。
作者赞扬什么?反对什么?清清楚楚,毫不含糊。
三,演讲语言生动活泼
生动活泼,就是要求语言富有幽默感,节奏明快,抒情性强。其中幽默是指有趣或可笑而又意味深长。如果只有有趣可笑,而无深刻的含义,则不是幽默,只能叫做滑稽。
瑞士的大教育家裴斯泰洛齐在一次演讲会上就遇到了一个伤脑筋的问题。有人问,能不能从襁褓中就看出小孩长大了以后会成为一个什么样的人?裴斯泰洛齐回答得很干脆,就很简单。如果在襁褓中的是个小姑娘,长大了一定是个妇女。
如果是个小男孩,将来就是个男人。从襁褓中能否看出小孩长大成为一个什么样的人?这是提问人在向大教育家咨询儿童成长教育与发展前途的问题。然后对于襁褓中的婴儿谁能确定呢?这个问题实在难以回答啊。大教育家裴斯泰洛齐以非常幽默的方式做了偷换论题式的无效应对。
第3篇 演讲稿写作的基本要求和语言风格
讲演是一种书面与口头艺术的结合体。成功的演讲与演讲者的口茔翌和激情离不开,然而,它更离不开写出一份优秀出色的演讲词。
[撰写要求]
1、应有一个具体、生动、有吸引力的题目。
2、称谓要得体。
3、开场白要有吸引力,能给听众一个良好的印象。
4、结构要简单,论题清楚。
5、短小精悍、语言具有节奏感、通俗。
6、有感情、有逻辑性。
演讲语言的风格美
演讲风格,是不同个性的演讲者在特定的语言环境中,对语言进行自成一体,别具一格的选择、加工,锤炼而形成的。要使演讲辞能达意,妙语连珠,多姿多彩,就要精心追求演讲语言的风格美。
1、凝练的美
凝练的风格,是由演讲者从表达演讲内容出发,恰切运用蕴含丰富、意义深刻的词语和修辞方式,使句义的缀合以单独连接为主而形成的。用语集中而丰满、简洁而味长,是凝练的主特征。如,一位演讲者对女英雄刘胡兰的赞颂:敌人一口气铡死了六个同志,让十五岁的你看什么叫死。你早知道那是怎么回事,没眨眼就走过去,让誓言变成画面。当你的头枕在铡刀另一边,你告诉剑子手:不怕死的,就是***员!你是站起又倒下的,但归根结底,你是倒下又站起的!
演讲运用生动凝练的词语和修辞手法,使刘胡兰的形象气吞山河,光照日月,给听众留下难以磨灭的印象。加之他选用的词语音节整齐,铿锵有力,寓意高深,适境得体,给演讲平添了悲壮感人,余音不尽的音响和色彩。
演讲语言的风格美
第4篇 微笑的语言魅力——国旗演讲稿
友善是闪耀的星,给人以憧憬!
友善是温柔的湖,给人以安宁!
友善是和煦的风,给集体带来温情!
处世好比一面镜子,你对别人什么态度,别人也会回以你什么态度。你若孤高气傲,那么他人也会冷眼相对;你若真诚友善,那么他人也会笑脸相迎。
一个不友善不愿容纳他人的人,集体也不会容纳他,他的骄傲只会落个孤芳自赏。一个十分友善乐于助人的人,集体也会乐意拥之入怀,一起享受集体的温暖。
俗话说,送人玫瑰,手留余香,那么,何不送他人一个微笑,如春风般沁人心田。
友善是人与人之间一种珍贵的感情,没有虚伪的修饰,没有功利的色彩,它只是初次相逢时,一个阳光般的微笑;他人身处困境时,伸出的一双温暖的手;被踩到脚后,一声大度的没关系;得到帮助后,一句会心的谢谢你。
人人无不希望生活在一个友好,友谊,友爱的氛围中,无不希望自己的周围充满善意,善良,善举,然而生活中又有太多的纠葛,若都互不相让,针锋相对,集体又怎会温暖和谐?
所以,朋友,请送他人一个友善的微笑,这样你才会收获他人的关爱,你才会收获集体的温暖,你才会收获整个春天!
第5篇 高速公路窗口服务演讲稿——微笑是没有国界的语言
微笑服务是从事高速公路等服务行业最起码的职业要求,一般情况下,绝大多数被服务者是有所表示的或点头示意、或回以相同的微笑,双方都处在一种惬意的心情中,司乘人员身心愉快,收费人员亲切有加,这自然是一种最理想的互动状态,是司乘人员心中所要求的,也是高速公路管理方所追求的,而它是最核心内容就是微笑传递,微笑传递含有收费人员与司乘之间,收费人员与收费人员之间两个要素。
一、收费人员与司乘之间
有的收费人员发自内心的微笑,即微笑传递中的“传”,就有了基础,有了做好服务的首要条件,但如何让对方再递过来呢,有几个问题要解决,一是看收费员的微笑是否从心底发出的,即“真诚微笑”,这一点常在高速公路走的司乘人员一眼便能洞察到,二是与微笑配套的服务要跟进。有的收费员很会微笑,让人看上去很甜美,很受司乘人员的赞赏,但服务意识不强,服务水平不高,这也难以得到司乘人员持续的回应,久而久之,司乘甚至会产生出一个不好的看法,这个收费员只会傻笑,其它什么也不会,回应也就慢慢由淡漠减至消失。
二、收费员与收费员之间
有车辆进站,当班收费人员除微笑服务外,其它收费人员应呼应当班收费人员的服务,以形成整个区域的微笑氛围。有司乘人员对路线不熟悉,特别是本路段路标不清楚,有时个别司乘人员会报以质问埋怨,甚至发脾气,时或收款过程中,当班收费员不便立刻回应时,用一种亲切得体的语言和微笑通知其它收费员为其指路,一个微笑,一个示意,充分显示一个团队的整体服务风貌,司乘人员也会有所理解,至少气氛可以得到很大程度的缓和,不再有不必要的争执和磨擦。
在国外有这样的格言“微笑是没有国界的语言”,我们窗口是××高速第一所的收费窗口,可我们的微笑是不收费的,在炎热的夏天,一个真诚的,发自内心的微笑能给来往的司乘人员带来一阵凉爽的清风,在冬天,一个温暖甜美的微笑能带给司乘人员一缕灿烂的阳光,即使隔着窗,微笑拉近了我们与客户的距离,消除了我们之间隔阂。试想,徜若窗内是一张冷若冰霜的脸,谁愿意看你的脸色办事,谁能对收费管理所留下美好的印象?现在收费管理所就是要打造出一流的“安全、高效、*洁、规范”的服务环境,微笑服务是每一位收费人员共有的名片。请不要吝啬你的微笑,因为“微笑”让你我如此美丽。

第6篇 推广普通话演讲稿:热爱祖国语言
大家好!
“热爱祖国语言”,当听到这几个字时,不知你想到了什么呢?而我,脑子里又浮现了这件往事。
那是我读师范三年级的暑假,老师叫我参加一个香港旅行团的普通话培训班,当一个辅导员。当我们好奇地向他们提出为什么要来这里学普通话时,一位中年女教师向我们叙述了她的一段特殊经历。几年前,她到英国的某所大学探望一个中国的朋友,两人久别重逢,坐在校园的草地上有说有笑。这时,两位英国大学生兴奋地向她们走来,热情地向她们俩问好,还不停地说话。但遗憾的是,这对中国朋友一句也听不懂。是她们不会英语吗?不,是因为两个英国大学生说的是普通话。后来通过英语交谈后才知道,两位大学生在校进修中文,看到她俩满以为是一个实践的好机会,却没想到遇上了既不会听也不会说普通话的中国人。英国大学生没趣地走了,只扔下一句话:中国人也不会说普通话。
这个故事,让当时在场的每一个人都本文来自酷猫写作范文网震撼了,我也不例外。对啊,当今由于各种因素而促使了中国出现“英语过热”的现象,大大小小的英语培训班、英文学校等,还有不少的孩子冲着到外国学英语,甚至有的几岁就到外国学习。所有摆在我们面前的这些活生生的事实,不能不让我们每一个中国人思考:长此以往,中国人还会说中国话吗?
当这个培训班结束时,中年女教师意味深长地对我说:“我真羡慕你,能和祖国语言一起成长。”
是啊,与她相比我真的感到幸运,但同时她的话却又唤起了我的另一段记忆。
记得小学三年级的时候,在一节语文课上,语文老师给予了我一个赞美:你的朗读真好。这时,身边的同学都向我投来了羡慕的眼光。从此以后,我不断地练习普通话。就这样,掌声和鲜花一直陪伴着我,直到升上师范学校的那一年。
当时我参加学校举行的一个朗诵比赛,选取了台湾诗人舒婷的一首著名的诗歌《祖国啊,我亲爱的祖国!》。练习了几遍后,凭着我的基础,自以为一定行了。当辅导老师检查时,我行云流水般念完,正得意洋洋时,老师说话了:“字音很准,如果能领会诗中的精粹,一定能读得更好。”我愣住了,但又好象明白了些什么。第二天,我便钻进图书馆,查阅了这首诗歌的时代背景,凡是诗中我不懂的词语都一一翻阅。慢慢地,我仿佛看到了神秘的飞天舞;仿佛看到了一个名叫“中国”的巨人正一步一步地艰辛地向前走;仿佛听到了作者在竭力地呐喊:祖国啊,我亲爱的祖国、、、、、、、后来,我知道的比我想像中的还要多。当我重新捧起诗歌一次又一次诵读时,每一次都有新的领悟,每一次都有不同的收获。我深深地领会到祖国语言文字蕴涵着丰富的历史文化,蕴藏了劳动人民智慧的结晶,她是一本永远读不完的书。她以她顽强的生命力生存了五千多年,她以她独特的魅力征服了世世代代的中国人,甚至全世界。
终于朗诵比赛开始了,我用我的理解饱含激情地朗诵了这首诗,我又再一次获得了热烈的掌声。但随着掌声走下舞台的时候,我知道:我和我热爱的祖国语言已经系上了一个永远解不开的情结。
凭着这个结,今天我考取了普通话的一级乙等水平,我感谢我的老师。但让我更庆幸的是,现在的我是一名小学语文教师,当看着孩子们,我像看到了自己在祖国语言陪伴下成长的经历。我能为祖国做些什么?我不同样能让孩子们热爱祖国的语言吗?
于是,我以此鞭策自己。上学期,当学校要求每位老师公开自己的教育教学座右铭时,我毫不犹豫地写上了一句话:愿与我的孩子们共同感受祖国语言的魅力!
每一节语文课,我都和孩子们沉浸在优美的祖国语言当中,与孩子们同喜同悲。我要让我的学生知道就像课文《最后一课》一样,当一个国家失去了自己的语言时,就等于失去了尊严,让他们把祖国的语言一代一代地传承下去,让祖国语言永远地放射耀眼的光辉!
朋友们,让我们都从自己做起,讲好普通话,到那时,我们就能大声地宣布:中国人都会说中国话!
谢谢各位!
