时令正是炎热的五月天,合肥八中高一年级举办了举校瞩目的英语演讲比赛。在这众多英语高手云集的礼堂里,我不由得感觉到一种无形的压力。三十二个班的精英选手会聚一堂,各个胸有成竹,跃跃欲试。虽说对自己的实力尚且放心,演讲的设计也颇费一番心思,但仍免不了犯怵,其实无论大小比赛,赛前的紧张一直是我的习惯。
我的上场次序偏后,这给了我足够的时间来调整状态。前面的选手表现各有千秋,我坐在观众席上,心情可以用忐忑来形容。口中默念着演讲稿的内容,不时比划两下手势。有趣的是,上场前一分钟我还双腿发抖,但真正走上台时却无一点胆怯。如鱼得水般的,这讲台仿佛一直属于我。我在舞台上尽情释放着能量,展现着自我。“如果我是一个老师”,并不新颖的题目,但我尽力发掘出新颖的观念,将自己理解中的教师阐述出来。就象我演讲中的最后一句话“The essence of education is dedication.”,教育的本质就是奉献,我想这也反映了每个老师的心声。
最终获得了冠军,意料之外,情理之中吧。毕竟精心准备了一些道具,这也正是演讲出彩的部分。十分感谢各位评委老师的赞同,这次比赛我收获了很多。作为英语社社长,不敢说实质名归,但至少证明了自己的实力,是一件很有意义的事。(高一(22)班 钟夏妮

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I’m glad to present my speech If I were a teacher. Well, as usual, I should start with a brief self-introduction, but to fit in this topic, I want to have a role-play. Everybody please look at me and imagine that I’m just a teacher standing here talking about my own understanding of education. Since the public judgement of teachers are mainly of two aspects: technique and attitude, I’ll start with them as well.
Firstly, teaching techinques. There was an old saying in China: Anyone who wants to learn must have teachers to pass on the truth and get rid of ignorance. The importance of teachers can clearly be seen. Personally, I treat the ability of obtaining knowledge more importantly than knowledge itself. Just as the saying goes: Giving a man a fish is no better than teaching him how to fish. In my classes, I will focus on leading my students to think critically and independently, developing their teamwork skills and motivating their curiosities. Once their curiosities were motivated, they would work hard to discover the mysteries of natural world, therefore learning become intiative, and the curiosity become inspiration. This would form a benigh cycle as well.
Secondly, teaching attitude. Once I choose teaching as a lifetime career, I would devote myself whole-heartedly into it. In my point of view, the seven letters of teaching means: Toleration, Enthusiasm, Attention, Creativity, Happiness, Efficiency, and Responsibility. Take creativity as an example, everybody knows 1+1=2, but never think of other posibilities. If I were a teacher, I would ask them to think: what if it is a bag of powder plus a basin of water? The answer would be totally different. Though it’s just another way of thinking, you can help your students to jump out of the limits of common knowledge. We should connect our education with real life, and make clear that creative people are the most important resources of a strong nation. In total, we should be fully aware of what we are about, we teach not simply to finish our mission, or to see our class top the honour roll, but to develop useful people for society. To make clear that students are not necessarily inferior to their students, love them, learn from them, and treat every pupil equally.
To draw a conclusion, if I were a teacher, I would make my education rewardless, enjoyable, creative and dedicated. After all, the essence of education is dedication.
