英语演讲比赛中即兴演讲题目

1. how do you think ant tribe (蚁族)should go to smaller cities?

well, it’s a quite complex issue. in my eyes, i couldn’t agree more to stay in smaller cities. because the natural environment is relatively good in small cities, where generally have no tiresome traffic jam. as we all know, ant tribe, are mostly young graduates who started their college life in 1999. these college graduates, with hopes for a better quality of life, rush to large cities like beijing and shanghai, where social resources are abundant, development opportunities are plentiful, also with the most fierce competition. indeed, the ant tribe dont have a stable job in major cities. they work so hard in order to stay in large city, but sometimes the opportunities are not there for them. what a pity! they have big dreams and ambitious plans, but have slim chance to realize them. nowadays, more and more companies have chosen to settle in the small cities. the employment competition of second-tier cities is smaller than large cities’. and the development potential is more and more big in small cities. so i think, it’s a good opportunity for ant tribe to start their career in second-line cities.

2. how do you think china introduce a complete ban on smoking in restaurants and bars?

well, it’s a very complex question. in my eyes, i couldn’t agree more to completely ban smoking in all pubic places, much less in bars and restaurants. smoking is a disgusting habit and should be discouraged. we all know clearly that smoking is very harmful to the smoker’s health. longtime smoking can lead to lung cancer and other serious health problem. almost a quarter of chinas population smoke and more than one million people die every year from smoking-related illnesses. i’m the one who is allergic to cigarette. i dont want to have to endure 2 hours of second-hand smoke just to finish eating my dinner. however, i think it is too difficult to expect people to give up cold turkey. smoking ban has implemented more than one year, but no obvious effect. the huge number of smokers, the undefined punishment rules, smokers’ poor self-control ability and people’s weak awareness of dangerous about secondhand smoke, are the challenges to the smoking ban. to this issue, we just hope the government can really force the ban to take effect. also we should strengthen our non-smokers’ awareness to discourage the smokers around us.

3.should university student start their own business as soon as they graduate from universities?

well, it’s a quite complex issue. with the competition in the job market

becoming increasingly fierce for college graduates, some ambitious students have tried their hands at launching their own businesses.

not all college graduates are suitable for undertaking entrepreneurial projects. to launch a business, one needs to have a sound business idea, a viable business plan, the charisma to create a cohesive team, effective managerial skills, and above all, the courage to compete against powerful rivals. in addition, it still needs some other conditions, such as seed money, venture partners and so on. so, if you have most of the conditions all above or you dare to have a try, then do it. if you don’t, perhaps you should have a job first and wait for the chance.

4.do you agree or disagree with the following statement? married couples have a better life without children?

nowadays, there are more and more dink families continually appearing in our society. the reason is complicated. no matter what reasons, i don’t agree thatmarried couples have a better life without children. in my opinion, children are of course the indispensable part of family. if no children, both sides of the couple will have too much free time, and if their free time are out of sync, then one side who stay at home will feel lonely, then he or she will require more of the other side. in addition, children can ease up the dispute between family members in an easy way because of their innocence, especially the married couple. if without a child, when the couple quarrels with each other, they will always focus on their own feelings, probably making some wrong decisions in anger, such as run away from home and divorce. moreover, children can maintain the relationship of husband and wife and decrease the divorce rate. from many researches, parents who have children have less possibility to divorce because they have to consider the future of the children. it is helpful to maintain the social order.

5. what do you think is more important for a child, a happy childhood or top marks at school?

first, my opinion is that a happy childhood is more important than any other for a child. it is the precondition of one’s happy life, and it is part and parcel of the growth of good character to a child. generally speaking, if a child has a happy childhood, he is more likely to become more optimistic and develop himself better than the child who has not. second, i want to say that parents have to shoulder the responsibility to provide the children with a happy childhood. there is saying: parents are best teachers for their children. so they should guide them, encourage them to find out their own talents or interests, give them more care and chances to develop themselves. but some parents don’t think so; they attach importance to higher marks. in fact, a top mark isn’t the only s tandard to measure a child’s ability. teachers can not take this standard, parents either.

6. do you think big cities need more public transport instead of more private cars?

i couldn’t more agree that big cities need more public transport instead of more private cars. in many people’s eyes, a car makes going out convenient and comfortable and can help them save their time. however, private cars cost much money to buy and maintain, contribute much to air pollution, consume more energy and always lead to traffic jam. in contrast, public transportation, including buses, taxis, subway and so on, have many advantages. firstly, pubic transport is more low carbon. secondly, pubic transport is energy-saving and does more benefits to environmental protection. what’s more, pubic transport can ease up the traffic pressure. so the government should develop enough public transportation that is effective and punctual.

7.do you agree or disagree with the following statement? parents are the best teachers.

i couldn’t agree more with the statement. parents are the best teachers. take my parents for example, they are not only my parents, but also my friends and teachers. i spent most of the time with my parents before i go to college, and i surely learn a lot from my parents in everyday’s life. when i was a child, they teach me like how to walk, how to dress up, how to be a honest people and how to tell right from wrong. as i grow older, they teach me how to manage my money, how to make friends, how to study, how to make decisions, and so on. i like to take my parents’ advice into consideration. and it always works. overall, in my eyes, parents are the most intimate people to us. they will teach us all they know when we need it. they will not hide anything from us. what’s more, parents are the people who know us the most, therefore, advice and suggestions from our parents are the most pertinent and valuable.

8.some people believe that university students should be required to attend classes. others believe that going to classes should be optional for students. which point of view do you agree with?

of course shall request the students to attend classes. let me explain my view for the following reasons. firstly, attending class can make a communication chance for the students and teacher. it will do plenty of benefits to students’ study. and teachers generally have undergone many things in their life, they can give students some correct advice and lead them to the right way. secondly, attending class can make a bridge between students and students. they can learn and help from each other, and change their different ways of thinking. all of these will help to improve their team spirit. last but not the least, attending class reflects the requirements of responsibility and discipline. if students want to attend class then in class, don’t want to then absent, the school will be out of control.

9.is it better to enjoy your money when you earn it or is it better to save your money for some time in the future?

in my perspective, it is better to save money for some time in the future. there are many negative effects without money saved. first, without money saved, people may be put on psychological stress. besides, without money saved for future, they will have to take risks if they come across accidents or emergencies. for example catching serious diseases someday, fired by the company and can’t find a job. without money saved, it is really horrible to think about this kind of scenarios.

apart from the negative effects above, what about the positive side of saving money for future use? first, saving money for future use can help us earn more money by investing money into like stock market and fixed estate. secondly, saving money for future use can ensure we have good lives after retirement. finally, saving money can probably help those in bad need for money.

10.the expression never, never give up means to keep trying and never stop working for your goals. do you agree or disagree with this statement?

nothing is difficult if you put your heart on it. nothing is easy if you don’t try your best. when someone say never, never give up, he means that he will keep trying and never stop working for his goal no matter how many times he fails. if we give up too early, we will rarely achieve anything. it is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel discouraged and should try again. besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills. another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort. if we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted. now i want to quote hillary clintons words to end my speech. she says, always aim high , work hard ,and care deeply about what you believe in, and when you stumble ,keep faith, when youre knocked down, get right back up and never listen to anyone who says you cant or shouldnt go on and never, never give up.

11.do you agree or disagree with the following statement? a person should never make an important decision alone.

of course a person should never make an important decision alone, important

decision should be well thought out. people, who know you well, know what is best for you, and close to you can give you good advice, give you a different perspective, or share their own experience. especially old people know much more than young because they have undergone many things in their life. in many cases, they lead us to the right way. after getting all advice together, you will often find that things become much easier. however, never making an important decision alone doesn’t mean you should give the decision right to others. you just take others’

suggestions to help you make decision. because only yourself knowing exactly what you want.

如何应对即兴演讲

来源：21英语网 作者：stephen lucas（《为成功而演讲》） 日期: 2010-09-19

到目前为止我们讨论了适用于各种公众演讲的普遍原则。现在我们来看即兴演讲，也被称作临场的、即席的或是无准备的演讲。在“21世纪杯”比赛中，选手们完成已备演讲之后作即兴演讲。下面是往届比赛中出现过的一些即兴演讲题目：

如果你可以生活在另外一个不同时间和地点，你将如何选择？对你来说哪种知识更为重要：书本上学来的还是从个人经历取得的？

你认为中国人世将会对这个国家有何主要影响？

大学生能否结婚？

如果你是人大代表，你对政府有何建议？

你会发现，即兴演讲题目的话题涉及面很广，包含从个人到政治，从校园热点到时事等各个方面。在“21世纪杯”演讲比赛的各个环节中，即兴演讲最具挑战性。它考验你独立思考、迅速、透彻地分析问题以及在毫无准备的前提下用英语进行有效交流的能力。因为所有选手都有充足的时间准备已备演讲，所以在这部分比赛中他们通常表现出色。但是到了即兴演讲部分很多人就变得言语结巴了。因此你若想取得前几名的成绩，就必须在即兴演讲中取得高分。

即兴演讲对于使用母语演讲的学生来说都是件难事，对于使用第二语言演讲的学生来说就更是费力了。然而，它为你以后走出校门步人社会提供了极好的锻炼机会，因为到那时很多情况下都需要你立即清楚、有力地表达出自己的观点。

无论你在哪里演讲，成功的即兴演讲最重要的因素都是缜密的思维和有条理的组织。在比赛中，你有三分钟时间发表即兴演讲。首先确定你要阐述的两至三个主要观点，然后简明、清楚地加以讨论。必要时使用实例、数据或证词来支持你的观点。因为很多即兴演讲题目都是在问你个人的观点，你可以在演讲中充分利用自己的经历。。最重要的是，一定要避免漫谈和重复。阐明一个观点之后就接下去谈下一个。你可用“第一”、“第二”、“第三”这样的路标来明确每一个新观点的出现，以方便观众理解。当你的演讲接近尾声时，要用简练的话语作结，并为观众的关注表示感谢。

像已备演讲一样，在即兴演讲部分你也要练习与观众保持眼神交流，避免有声停顿。你打磕巴、思索恰当词语的次数越少，那么你看起来就越加完美、自信。如果你能够有一个让观众听起来清楚、稳重的语速，在演讲的过程中始终保持沉着、冷静，那么你将有更大的机会赢得评委们的好感。

尽管比赛前你不可能知道即兴演讲的题目，但这并不意味着不到上场前你就无从准备。当你准备好参赛，就可以请指导教师给出一些例题，你来练习当场发表即兴演讲来作答。在演练的过程中，尤其要注意我们前面提出的所有建议。练习的初期阶段录下自己演讲的声音，以检查自己语言的逻辑性、清晰性、连贯性以及发音的准确性。在练习的后期，你可用摄像机录下自己的表现，确保自己看起来自信，始终保持眼神交流，避免分散注意力的手势或习惯动作。

下面我们给出一段非常好的即兴演讲的例子，是2002年比赛的冠军选手孙宁当时所作的演讲。他即兴演讲的题目是“假如你是中国第一名登月的宇航员，你可以在月球上留下三件物品，那么你会留下哪三件？”

谢谢!如果我是中国第一位登上月球的宇航员，我会带下列三件物品：首先，我要带一个玩具，更确切地说是一个小型的玩具熊猫。熊

猫是我们中国的国宝。众所周知，我们中国的自然环境、生态环境以及自然气候是得天独厚的。大家也都知道四川是熊猫最佳的天然栖息地。当你看到熊猫那滑稽的外表，憨态可掬的举止，你会发现它有着温和的习性。它同其他物种相处和谐，和大自然和平共处，这些都是我们需要向大熊猫学习的。

其次，我会带一件手工艺品，那就是传统的中国绘画。我小的时候学过几年传统中国绘画，所以我希望这幅画是我画的。在我学画画的时候，我就知道留意画中蕴含的东西更为重要。在典型的中国绘画中你也可以看到一首诗——通常是用隽秀的中国书法书写而成，此外上面还会有一个印章。中国绘画通常是临摹秀丽的中国风景。

最后，我想带一张世界地图。也许你们中间有些人会感到很惊讶，为什么不是中国地图呢？从各方面而言，我知道自己是一个中国人，然而我也意识到了在这个世界联系日益密切的时代，我们还是世界的公民。我不能把我的视线仅仅局限在中国国界中，我要把目光放远，我也应该清楚我们国界以外的海洋和陆地也是广阔的。走出国门去了解它们对于我们来说是很重要的。我的讲话完了，谢谢!

上面一字不差就是孙宁当时演讲的原稿，你可能发现到他在措辞中犯了一些小错误，但整篇演讲内容清晰、思维连贯、组织有序，以至于没有人会注意到那些细小的错误。读这篇稿子的时候，请注意孙宁是如何一开始便明确他要带上月球的三件物品。之后，演讲的过程中，他又这样引出所选的三件物品：首先，我要带一个玩具，更确切地说是一个小型的玩具熊猫。

其次，我会带一件手工艺品，那就是传统的中国绘画。

最后，我想带一张世界地图。

这样的结构组织简明、清晰。孙宁将三个主要观点阐述得清楚、简洁，在三个观点上分配了几乎平等的注意力。在整个演讲的过程中，他从没有徘徊不前或偏离主题。他给人的印象是一个很好地控制自己思维的自信的演讲者。的确，即使这篇演讲由一位母语为英语演讲者创造，也称得上是非常出色的。

当然，针对不同的题目要有不同的回答。但任何一位演讲者针对任何主题发表即兴演讲，其成功的基本要素都是一样的。如果你能牢记我们所讨论的成功要素进行练习，你将有更大的机会在即兴演讲中取得成功。
