江苏省中学生英语口语电视比赛2002年由省教育厅立项,旨在为江苏省各级各类中学生提供基于信息技术支持下的英语学习和交流平台,为广大学校英语口语教学改革提供学习资源和引导。比赛通常由四部分组成:自我介绍、命题演讲、即问即答和小组合作秀。它既能体现出参赛同学的很多能力。有幸的是我连年带队参加此项活动,收益颇丰——正如各类考试一样,准备的内容越多,技巧锻炼得越纯熟,胜算也就越大。
一、Self Introduction(自我介绍)
自我介绍规定时间90秒,它非常正式,通常不需要表演和歌唱,一律不允许配背景音乐和图像。且自我介绍要有层次性,切不能弄成一团糟。
自备节目常常先入为主,容易给人留下较深刻的印象,于是要高度重视自备节目。
自备节目一定要富于个性,要能体现自己的个人特色,给人以耳目一新的感觉。比如你喜欢钢琴,你就可以就这一点展开,写出与之有关的一系列感触颇深的事件。自备节目的行文要易读、押韵、流畅并便于演讲。演讲时语速要注意轻重缓急、抑扬顿挫。表情要自然、真实、富有感性,眼睛要顾盼神飞,只有这样你方可抓住评委以及观众的心,为整个比赛的成功作好铺垫。例如:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Im Wu Tianyi from Rudong Experimental Middle School. If you come to our class, you will be deeply impressed by a boy who is tall and thin. He is energetic and active with a gentle smile on his face most of the time. He can answer the teachers questions most quickly and solve the hardest problems fastest. When he was young, he became interested in listening songs, especially, English songs by Back Street Boys. In order to understand their songs more clearly, he has kept improving his English. And he is excited to see himself making more and more progress day by day. Actually, English has become an important part of his life. Besides that, hes fond of sports, and his favorite sport is playing basketball. He plays basketball quite often after school. He thinks skills and teamwork come first in basketball. He is always ready to help others and everyone in his class wants to make friends with him. Maybe you would like to know who the boy is. Of course, its me, Wu Tianyi, a quick, confident and open minded boy from Rudong Experimental Junior Middle School.
Thanks for listening!
二、Impromptu speech(命题演讲)
命题演讲相当于口头作文。临时给个Topic给你,只有40秒的准备时间,然后限你用100秒时间把整个话题用英语绘声绘色地演讲出来。它不但要求选手有过硬的英语基本功,还要求选手有很强的应变能力和组织能力,所以它是整个英语口语比赛中最难的部分,其实它也最能体现参赛选手的真实水平。我发现,要想在这部分取得好的成绩,待拿到Topic后,先要考虑如何布局?如何破题?准备讲几个方面?然后再自由发挥,即就是心中要有个演讲提纲,只有这样才能在有限的时间内把话题阐述清楚。
演讲需要激情,但更需要真情实感。要从生活中最贴近的东西入口,要将抽象的问题具体化,并尽可能地游移到自己亲生经历的事情中去。当然,演讲稿的语言构成是否出色就得靠演讲者的真本领了。我个人觉得可以适当的加入些句式短的排比句,这样富有气势,容易在演讲时迸发激情,也可以用些疑问句,以引起听众的思索,还可以用一些英语典故或俚语,谚语等,只要用得恰当,就会为你的演讲锦上添花。
在演讲过程中,万一大脑出现短暂空白,要巧妙地运用过渡语,如In my opinion. Well. I think.等,给自己大脑一个思考的空间,切不可冷场。且要注意平常的积累,平时要多找话题来进行操练。这样才能在比赛中快速破题,学会快速布局全文,以便提高自己瞬间语言组织能力。同时拿到命题后要学会将平时训练积累的东西有效地融合进去。
例:If I’m a teacher Good morning , dear judges and friends.
Today my topic is ‘If I am a teacher’
When I’m very young, I already had a dream——I want to be a teacher.
As we all know teacher is a holy job. People say the teachers are the builders of peoples soul. I think so.
If Im a teacher, I will make myself work hardest. Because an able teacher can make the students study easily and well. It can help them save a lot of time. But if I want to be a person like that I must learn more and more and be strict with myself from now on.
If Im a teacher, I will try to be good friends of my students. After class, they can talk to me about their heroes, hobbies, problems, secrets and so on. In class, we can learn from each other. They can also tell me the mistakes I made and I will try to correct them.
All the students will make mistakes, but different teachers have different ways to solve them. If Im a teacher, I will believe in my students and make everything clear first. I will use the correct way instead of criticizing them or calling their parents. I wouldnt also make them unbearable. If it is my students’ mistake, I will talk to him or her about what is true. I think he or she can understand me.
If Im a teacher, Ill try my best to be a good teacher, because its a holy job and I will love it. And I hope all the teachers love their jobs, all the students love their teachers too.
Thanks for listening!
三、Question and Answer(即问即答)
即问即答是现场看图回答三至四个问题,时间要求是120秒。通常一、二两道为客观性问题,三、四两道为主观性问题,务必要掌控好时间,客观题简单陈述即可,用时约为30秒。第一个问题一般是叫你Describe a picture what youve seen(有什么): state the obvious things, usually use ‘I can see…’. Don’t talk about what you think of… .Dont say I’m not sure. You should usually describe the picture from top to bottom, its colors and name.You should describe everything you can see in the picture.第二个问题一般是叫你Describe a person in the picture(干什么). 第三、四是主观性问题,不能只回答Yes 或No,必须阐述the reasons to the question.通常是谈谈你的感想和做法。这就要求我们的识图能力要强,要领悟其中的寓意,要有创新精神。于是我们平时要关心时事与社会问题。要时常从网上、报刊上选取图片,有意识地去锻炼自己,以最短的时间,用最有把握的语言将所给图片表达出来。
例:City Public Bicycles
Please describe the picture what youve seen.
What are the reasons for the government to provide the public bicycles?
What are the advantages for the government to provide the public bicycles?
Do you always take city public bicycles?
Empty Food Tray Program
四、Team co-operation(小组合作秀)
第四环节小组合作秀。每组三至六人,准备时间90秒,合作时间180秒。它是一个集体协作节目,要求组内通力协作,既不可冷场又反对抢话题:即在学会倾听的同时又要不时用英文阐明自己的观念,当然还得根据所给话题确定小组合作秀的表现形式,是采取师生对话?记者采访?还是同学辩论?……就全靠三人的领悟与决断。训练题有:①The good and bad effects on TV ②What is the most valuable quality of teenagers in your eyes? ③Is it important to learn every subject well?④If you are organizing a New Year party for your class. What activities will you include and why? …
不过,我觉得英语口语电视比赛取得成功的重中之重是要加大阅读,丰富自己的词汇量(enlarge your vocabulary),且要接触一些时政要闻和英美风情介绍的东西,扩充自己的知识面。还可以多读读英语的绕口令,让自己说英语时更加的灵巧。当然最好的就是参加专业的培训。因为培训可以模拟正式的比赛,让你在最真实的环境中不断进步,这样你才能做到战无不胜。
最后,愿我的肤浅总结与思考会给你以抛砖引玉之效。
