21 世纪杯英语演讲比赛 沈悠参赛讲稿
Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Today my topic is The
Road Not Taken in Life.
“Why are you doing this? Don’t you know it’s a
total waste of time?” That’s what my mom yelled at the
ten-year-old me, when she found out that I had signed up
for an English story-telling competition.
I bowed my head; yes, she was right. By then I was
entering Grade Six, faced with the biggest challenge yet
to come—the examination to enter my dream junior high
school. For that, I had given up my beloved piano lesson,
my favorite cartoon program and even the playful weekend
family reunion with my cousins. I wouldn’t be surprised
at all if my very-strict-university-teacher mother got
furious at me when I chose to do anything besides study
at that crucial moment.
But that’s not all to it. Now please take a good
look at the twenty-year-old me, and imagine what I was
1
like when I was ten. Here are the key words: nervous,
timid, shy, tongue-tied when facing strangers, and
essentially a bookworm. These signs looked fatal to my
mother, and possibly to you, too; she thought that I
could be anything but a good public speaker.
Well, I myself actually said no to my English teacher
at first, because I had never done anything like that
before and I was afraid. But he told me since I liked
reading so much, why not try to tell a story I love to
everyone? He also promised me that the judges were not
frightening at all; just think of them as carrots and
cabbages in a vegetable patch.
The ten-year-old me was persuaded by my teacher’s
words. The feeling of telling my beloved stories to
someone else ignited a spark of anticipation in my little
chest. So I chose to endure my mother’s ranting for an
entire hour, then raised my head bravely and pleaded:
“Mom, please. I just want to try.”
My mother looked as if she was on the verge of
another outburst—but she only sighed. I took that as her
permission, and started working with my teacher day and
night to find a story, to illustrate the details, and to
practice my facial expressions and gestures in front of
2
the mirror. On the day of the competition, I went on the
stage for the very first time in my life; I could feel
the nervousness threatening to bring me down, and I felt
cheated by my teacher: it was impossible to picture the
judges as mere carrots and cabbages. But I went on.
Although I only got the third prize at that time, on that
stage I stayed ever since, even to this very moment.
I should thank my teacher and my mother for letting
me take a road that I have never taken before. Little did
I know then that this road would one day lead the shy
little ten-year-old me into a wonderland; it led me to
meet all of you here today. I can tell you from the
bottom of my heart that it isn’t so terrifying to
venture into the unknown at all; all you need is a little
courage and determination. See where my road has led me,
and bravely take your first step.
