光華美高第九期英語公眾演講

王同學 Depression

**位出場的是王同學，他講述了一種特殊的精神心理疾病——抑郁癥。首先，他提到了抑郁癥的危害，它會影響人的思維、情緒、行為和自我認知，影響人的正常生活。接下來，他繼續分享了常見的抑郁癥患者的癥狀，例如每天都情緒抑郁，易焦慮;在日常活動中缺乏興趣，容易感到疲倦，凡事漠不關心;胃口發生發生巨大變化，具有增加或減少;睡眠出現問題，入睡困難，淺眠多夢，容易驚醒等。此外，他還提到嚴重的抑郁患者為了結束痛苦，容易產生自殺的念頭。最后，他呼吁大家要關注和關愛抑郁癥患者，提醒患者及時去看醫生，以便早日回歸正常的生活。

Many people with depression think of death as a way to relieve their pain. Patients often die in order to end suffering, suffering and confusion. For example, like Avicii, he is a well-known Swedish DJ. Avicii ranked third among the top 100 DJ in 2012 and 2013. A genius like this once earned $28 million a year, ranking ninth in Forbes'top global income of celebrities under 30. Suicide due to depression

If you suffer from depression, the symptoms that hurt you may also hurt your family, your work performance and your relationships.

羅同學 Instrumental Music

第二位出場的是羅同學，演講內容是器樂的發展以及器樂對于我們的影響。他依次介紹了早期的西方巴洛克音樂、古典音樂和流行音樂，分別介紹了三種音樂的產生和發展。其中，他還提到了巴洛克音樂盛行時期著名的音樂家巴赫對音樂的貢獻，提到了眾所周知的貝多芬創作的一系列優秀的古典樂，提到了當代由樂器演奏的流行音樂主要是以電音和輕音樂為主。最后，他還指出音樂的發展是無止境的 ，這個世界需要美妙的旋律，人類需要音樂的熏陶，因而未來音樂一定會占據更高、更重要的地位。

Now let’s move on to classical music. Does anyone know its clear definition? Alright, let me show you something about it. Classical music is serious or conventional music following long-established principles rather than a funk, jazz or popular tradition. In another way, classical music is a simple way of the Baroque music. It’s the same as Baroque music in that they both don’t have an exactly meaning but the emotion of classical music is much stronger than that of Baroque era. As we all know, Ludwig van Beethovenis the main representative. He was very stubborn and sensitive. Although he had been deaf in the middle of his life, he was very tough and so many impressive pieces of music were made and most of those are kept till today.

顧同學 Time Management

第三位出場的是顧同學，他的演講與時間管理息息相關。他認為我們應該整理細碎的時間去使我們在日常生活中做得更好。眾所皆知，作為一名學生，學校的學習生活十分繁忙，這就要求每個人必須掌握一定的方法來科學地管理時間，提高效率，促進學習進步。對此，他提出了兩點建議：**，我們要根據自己需要的時間去規劃目標，我們對自己不必有太大的壓力，也沒必要把自己的時間全部排滿;第二，對待瑣碎的時間，我們可以把它們集中在一起，化散為整，這種就可以利用這段時間集中去做一些事情。所謂一寸光陰一寸金，對于學生而言，分秒必爭是學有所成的秘籍之一。

First, we should take advantage of the fragmentary time. Busy, working or entertaining, piecemeal time is everywhere. When doing anything, organizing your spare time can help you get more chances to accomplish your task. Of course, this is not something that can be done under any circumstances. You can adjust your original arrangements and plans according to your needs, which has both advantages and disadvantages. Making use of your spare time can disrupt your original plans and make you busier, but you will have more time to complete your tasks. If we can combine a lot of time, you will find that you have a period of unexpected time. In this way, integrating many hours into a period of time, and making good use of this period, will make your life more fulfilling.

祝同學 Celebrity worship

第四位出場的是祝同學，她的演講涉及到一個熱門話題——追星。在當今社會，有一種精神上的疾病叫做過度膜拜明星，這些瘋狂的粉絲就是我們所說的私生飯。最開始的時候，這個詞是在2000年被James Chapman**次使用。對私生飯而言，瘋狂的追星是一種心里上的發泄，但這種行為不僅會影響藝人正常的生活，而且對他們也有很多不好的影響，例如遠離家人和朋友。所以，她最后呼吁我們不應該瘋狂地追隨明星，應該享受自己的生活，感恩那些在我們生活中給予我們幫助的人，努力做自己生活的主角!

The simple obsession people have for celebrities begin with people’s desire to gossip. People are obsessed with celebrities because it provides a social outlet which they wouldn’t have otherwise.In the subject of psychology, it’s called ‘ psychological prosthesis’. Of course, like everything else, there is a border, as people become more and more interested in celebrities’ life, there is a shift, from a fan to a stalker. When someone reaches this stage, they start to move away from their family and friends, and eventually reach celebrity worship syndrome.

最終，伴著主持人嘹亮的聲音，羅同學憑借穩定而出色的發揮拿下了本場的**名。希望在接下來的演講中，同學們再接再厲，在演講臺上展現實力，大放光彩!
