德古拉之吻~
Ladies and gentlemen:It's my pleasure to have this chnace to talk about the English language.English is becoming a universal language with the earth turning into a small village.Due to the development of the economy,the international communication depends much more on English language, especially when the internet is becoming one part of our life, English plays an important role in it.For most of the Chinese people, we have the opening-up policy to the outside world.With the entry into the WTO,we will have more and more opportunities to get into touch with different cultures from different countries.In order to promote the understanding, English becomes much more necessary.That is why we should learn English. So, many students,now, spend more and more time in learning English. But they may have met some difficulties, for example, they find listening is too difficult to improve. Now, I would like to give you some suggestions on this:First, you should practice listening as much as possible. It is said that practice makes perfect. You can listen to the radio, such as BBC, VOA and so on. Each time, you needn't practice for a long time. Second, you should choose some fancinating materials which you are interested in, so you wouldn't feel bored when you are practising. Third, you'd better choose the tapes which are not too difficult, you can add the difficulties day by day. In one word, if you can stick to practise listening everyday, I think your listening ability will improve quickly.I sincerely wish that every of us can master English so that we can have a bright future.And I am sure that we will make it.Thank you all.

Importance of CommunicationCommunication is an integral instinct of all living things. The most important bearings of communication are best understood when there is a lack of it. The following article discusses how important communication is and why it plays such a vital role in our daily lives.There is more to communication than just talk and gesture. Listening, understanding and interpreting are as much integral to communication as words - verbal, written or gestured. Yes, even gestures in communication play a crucial role in conveying and interpreting the message! Similarly, how we communicate or express ourselves goes a great way towards determining how our expressions are interpreted. To quote Karl Popper, "It is impossible to speak in such a way that you cannot be misunderstood". Faulty or incomplete communication can completely mar the purpose of communicating and may result in damaging consequences. This is where understanding how important communication is and communicating the right way comes into picture. Not everyone is equally endowed with the ability to effectively express himself and this is where the significance of communication skills can be truly fathomed. Communicating the right way is equally important in every walk of like, be it in personal, professional or social life. Come, let's take a look at some major areas where right communication or a lack of it can have serious implications.The Communication ProcessThe communication process involves a sender or communication source, the subject matter of communication, expressions used for communicating (encoding), the medium of communication, receiver(s) of the communication and the interpretation thereof (decoding) and feedback. This can be diagrammatically represented as follows:-The last part, i.e. FEEDBACK is crucial in determining whether the communication has been understood by the receiver in the same light as intended by the sender. Let us try and understand the importance of communication in different walks of our daily lives.Gravity of Communication in BusinessThe success of any business lies as much in networking and building sound professional relationships as it does in individual tact and business acumen. Communication is a crucial decisive factor in business relations. It is very important to say the right things at the right time and at the right place when dealing with partners, customers, stakeholders, media and, sometimes, even competitors. Any miscommunication or ambiguity can pour pails of cold water on your hard work and ruin your chances of survival in today's competitive business environment. Maintaining professional etiquette in oral and written business communication is of utmost importance and must not be taken lightly. We should be grateful that we are living in an era of enlightenment where we have access to training on just about anything under the sun! Nowadays, many courses are available that provide training on developing business communication skills and correspondence and a lot of educational institutes conduct classes on ways to improve communication skills. Effective communication skills in business go a long way in sealing your financial success.Importance of Communication in the WorkplaceThe most difficult part of running an organization is managing the human resources. This is one resource which doesn't work on any principle of management, economics, psychology or any other social science! This is the most random and volatile resource which must be managed with great dexterity to reach desired organizational goals. Communication is that lubricant which keeps this resource moving throughout the organizational machinery. The salience of communication in the workplace is manifold, as it involves communication along vertical, horizontal and parallel organizational levels and such communication should always follow the hierarchy prescribed by the organization. A breach of the hierarchical channel of communication is known as a Gang Plank and should be avoided as much as possible. Communication in the workplace involves interpersonal communication between colleagues, superior and subordinate and vice versa and workplace communication skills come handy in such situations. A clear understanding of the purpose of such communication, especially if it is of a vertical nature, along with the expectations of the sender and receiver are extremely important for the smooth running of an organization.Importance of Communication in LeadershipWhat is the role of a leader? A leader is expected to represent his/her followers and motivate them to reach heights of success through individual and collective effort. Communication is the best equipment a leader can employ to achieve this goal. Even ideals resting upon strong principles can fall flat and fail to motivate due to lack of effective communication skills. History is galore with examples of many national leaders who have moved the masses by their life-changing speeches and powerful writings! Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. are prominent examples of outstanding leadership through effective communication.Significance of Communication in RelationshipsI don't think I need to elaborate much on this, as we all have, some time or the other, experienced certain roadblocks and voids in our relationships owing to a lack of communication. Lack of communication in relationships result in frustrations, misunderstandings, unrealistic expectations, guilt and can create personal differences. It is difficult for people who share their lives with each other to coexist for long without having regular and smooth communication for oiling the machinery of the relationship. Relationship communication problems can only be solved through active and effective communication.As living beings, we need to express and understand the expressions of others. Like it or not, the human society thrives on communication. Civilizations have risen and fallen based upon how good they were at maintaining sound relations with the rest of the world. Communication is, indeed, the very lubricant that makes the machinery of human relations function smoothly. Therefore, the significance of communication cannot and should not be underestimated. Sometimes, difficult situations in life can be resolved by just sitting down and talking it out! Similarly, most personal, professional and social disasters can be averted by maintaining clear, appropriate and unambiguous communication. All we need is some effort on our part to identify and avoid barriers to effective communication to make our lives and the lives of those around us better.Read more at Buzzle:

英语演讲稿，长短差不多的，以下内容可以参考：）~~We study English so as to make oral communications, so this order of importance of oral English study should be followed: Fluency, Accuracy, and Appropriateness. That is to say, we have to pay more attention to practical communicating ability instead of only laying emphasis on the grammatical correctness. Try to find some partners practicing oral English together and English corner is a good place as where we may exchange English study experience, widen our sight and improve interest in English. If English partners are not easy to get, then we have to create an English environment ourselves by speaking English to ourselves. This method is very effective and easy to insist on--interpreting Chinese-English novels or books. First we read the Chinese parts and then try to interpret them into English and then compare our interpretation with the original versions in the novels or books so that we can find out the mistakes, shortcomings and progresses in our interpretation. Retelling exercise: Retell some articles or English stories in our own words. If possible, we may read some English tongue twisters loudly and quickly with one or two cakes of candy in our mouth (just as the Chinese cross-talk actors do.) to train our oral cavity muscle and tongues suitable for English pronunciation. Paying more attention to phrases and small words as one major shortcoming of Chinese English is that Chinese students tend to use big words in their oral language, but the idiomatic oral English is abundant with short, active and vivid phrases. And most of such phrases are made of small words. Thinking in English.Oral English has its own features, but it is closely combined with other aspects of English, for example, writing may make oral English precise and accurate. wrtingskills The Internet also provides a motivating environment for students to practice and publish their writing. English, as a most common used language, is often a hard bone for many non-native speakers. Looking around, you’ll find an interesting phenomenon that Chinese students can write good English or they can easily get a high TOEFL score, however, students from India can better use it in communication. Some of us often complain that although we have learned English for almost 10 years in school, we still find it difficult when we want to speak. This doesn’t happen accidentally. It’s due to our learning approach which does not focus on application but only on grammar and vocabulary. We have too many exams to take in school, thus most students learn it only to pass the exam or to get a better grade. No wonder we’re weak in listening and speaking. We have too little chance to express ourselves in daily life. So if we want to improve our real English level, there’s one straight way to go-----just practice it. Imagine we live abroad, a total English environment, what do we need? First of all, we need establish communication with others, thus we need listen and speak. The aim of listening is to understand others what they say, no matter what their accent is like. So the listening materials shouldn’t be confined to standard English. We can try various speed and various accents. One interesting way is to watch English movies, which is an interesting thing. And the other is to find chances to chat with others, which improves not only listening ability but also speaking ability.
