外刊阅读训练:做好获奖感言的技巧等2则-高三英语二轮复习.docx
外刊精读做好获奖感言的技巧导读:“获奖的是” 当颁奖嘉宾宣布奖项得主时,获奖者得在有限的时间内快速上台领奖,并说出自己的获奖感言。但在获奖后应该说什么才合适呢?各大电影及音乐颁奖典礼的主办方通常会给获奖者一个发表感言的机会:有人幽默风趣、风度翩翩;有人慷慨激昂、感情真挚;有人则可能因为准备不充分,在台上支支吾吾地说不出话来 不禁让人觉得有几分尴尬。外刊精读介绍几个做公众演讲时值得参考的小贴士。一、语篇泛读Vocabulary: public speaking 词汇: 公众演讲'Thank you' is a very polite thing to say when you are given something, and this is particularly important when receiving an award at a prestigious ceremony. But if you're one of the lucky winners, 'thank you' is just the start of the most important acceptance speech of your life.Film, TV and music award ceremonies are all about the acceptance speeches they are an art form in their own right. They are a chance for an actor or performer to publicly thank people who've helped them. In this year's BAFTAs, Letitia Wright even thanked God for her EE Rising Star award in an emotional acceptance speech.Speeches are also used as a platform to make a political statement or just to raise someone's profile so it's important to get the words right. And these words have to be delivered in a short amount of time. For example, at this year's Oscars, nominees have only 90 seconds from finding out they've won to finishing their speech. John Bailey, president of the Academy, has told them they should "get up there and keep speeches brief."When the clock is ticking, it's hard to say everything you want. Weeping can waste time; bumbling costs valuable seconds. Experts in the field say it's important to be personable, heartfelt and to speak like you're talking to a friend. At the 2019 Golden Globes, Olivia Colman was named the best actress for her role as Queen Anne in The Favourite and gave an endearingly excited speech that ended with her holding up her trophy and sending a message to her family: "Ed and the kids - look! Yay!" You would expect an actor to be eloquent and able to perform on stage in front of an audience. But for others, such as sports people, it can be more awkward. When Japan's Naomi Osaka won this year's Australian Open final, she said "Sorry, public speaking isn't my strong point so I hope I can get through this I read notes before this but I still forgot what I was meant to say."Preparation is key. It's important to make notes that remind you to thank people, say some words of wisdom, and win over the audience. But if you've got nothing to say, accept your award graciously then get off stage before the music starts playing again just remember to say 'thank you'!二、词汇表polite 礼貌的prestigious 有声望的art form 艺术形式emotional 动情的,激动的profile 知名度,形象brief 简短的,简洁的weeping 流泪bumble 结结巴巴地、支支吾吾地讲话personable 讨人喜欢的,风度优雅的heartfelt 真挚诚恳的endearingly 使人喜爱地eloquent 有说服力的,能言善辩的awkward 难应对的,尴尬的public speaking 公众演讲words of wisdom 至理名言win over 赢得的喜爱graciously 彬彬有礼地三、测试与练习 阅读课文并回答问题。.1.

Everyone aspires to have a good one, but its quality and availability is not the same for all. This situation changes as social, economic and political conditions change and technological development provides new benefits and threats.The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which promotes policies that, will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world, has been looking at the future of global education. Its head of education, Andreas Schleicher, has been talking to the BBC about some major international trends affecting education systems around the world.One threat is the widening gap between rich and poor, with more intense pockets of extreme privilege and deprivation. In OECD countries, the richest 10% have incomes 10 times greater than the poorest 10%. This inequality is a challenge for schools who want to offer equal and fair access to education for everyone.Another trend is the rising affluence in Asia. It's suggested that a large rise in the middle-classes in China and India will increase demand for university places. Andreas Schleicher asks the question "What values will these newly wealthy consumers want from their schools?"Increasing migration will also have an impact on education systems. Mobility results in more culturally diverse students eager to learn and develop a good life for themselves. But that can be a challenge, too, as Andreas Schleicher asks: "How should schools support pupils arriving from around the world? What questions does it raise about identity and integration? Will schools have a bigger role in teaching about shared values?"Funding pressure is another issue: as our demand and expectation for education rises and more people go to university, who's going to pay for it all? The rise in dependency on technology is another concern. What should students learn when many of their talents can be replicated by machines? And how reliant should we be on learning from the internet?These are just some of the issues the OECD is highlighting. But they remain irrelevant for hundreds of millions of the world's poorest children who don't even have access to school places or receive such low-quality education that they leave without the most basic literacy or numeracy.二、词汇表aspire 渴望,向往social 社会的well-being 幸福,安康privilege 特权deprivation 贫困,匮乏inequality 不均等affluence 富裕,富足values 价值观consumer 消费者migration 移居mobility (社会)流动性identity 身份integration (不同群体的)融合funding 资助dependency 依赖literacy 识字能力numeracy 算数能力三、测试与练习 阅读课文并回答问题。1.
