普通話演辭

國務院總理李克強宣佈推出36項挺港措施，於經貿、金融、民生和社會事業、旅遊以及粵港關係方面和香港有更緊密的合作。對於此，我們香港人應抓緊發展機遇，結合自己所擁有的優勢以達至雙贏局面。

首先，讓我們先了解自己的優勢。香港擁有獨特的殖民地歷史背景，在回歸中央後仍保留行政、立法、司法獨立以及經濟自由。加上廉潔的風氣和高教育水平的人民，確能全面配合香港的商貿發展。

有了這些優勢，加上中央大力支持，香港應抓緊機會發展旅遊業。香港是一個中西文化薈萃的國際大都市，因此我們大可以此獨特的背景作發展平台。其中，我們應爭取舉辦大型國際博覽會，如舉辦每年均吸引不少遊客慕名參與的國際名酒節便是一個成功的例子。因此我們應爭取舉辦大型博覽會，集中多國文化精髓，吸引來自世界各地的遊客到香港來。

另外，由於中央開通了人民幣外商直接投資的門徑，在未來會有更多來自國內的同胞到香港營商和旅遊。因此香港人應放下成見，多接納不同人士的文化差異，減少爭論，停止謾罵，與之共融，才是致勝之道。除此之外，香港人也要多學幾種語言，尤其是普通話和英語。這樣才能為旅客提供最優質的服務，亦在國際舞台上盡顯所長。

此外，要配合旅遊開發，便得給旅客營造一個最理想的環境，才能把香港造就成一個頂尖級數的旅遊城市。我們香港人應盡量配合政府所推出的計劃，如停車時把引擎關掉，以改善香港的空氣素質，讓旅客放心，享受旅遊香港的樂趣。

誠如國家主席胡錦濤所言: 有偉大祖國作堅強後盾，在特別行政區政府的帶領下，香港社會各界齊心協力、共克時艱，一定能夠變壓力為動力，化危機為機遇，保持香港繁榮穩定及和諧發展的局面。對！讓我們同舟共濟，和諧共融，為發展香港而努力。

Who can imagine that Apple, once a fledgling company, is now one of the global forces to be reckoned with? As we all know, Apple was brought to the top of the world by their former chairperson and CEO- Steve Jobs. But what did Jobs possess so that he can bring victory to Apple? I would have to say, it was his charismatic leadership.

To me, leadership is about being innovative, having persistence and understanding the importance of teamwork. The fact that Jobs was able to revive apple and rebuilt the entire company has to do with all of these qualities.

To begin with, Jobs believed that 'innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower' and he saw the power of innovation when he built his company. At present, we can see the innovative power of Apple through its stylish product designs and its leading role in the industry.

A leader usually faces different brick walls in their life, and Jobs is not an exception. Jobs had once lost a quarter of a billion dollars in a year. But rather than giving up, he treated it as an character-build opportunity. It is his persistence which enabled him to bring prosperity to Apple.

Apart from the two qualities mentioned, Jobs learnt the importance of teamwork. When Jobs was asked to talk about Apple, he said "This is not a one-man show". Despite being the leader of Apple, he insisted on meeting his colleagues in every single department. Through the meetings, he could understand the needs and identify room for improvements in every department thoroughly. Only by improving every minor weak point can the company advance. And the credits belong to their leader—Steve Jobs, for carrying out this orientation.

Unquestionably, Apple's success is due to Steve Jobs' charismatic leadership throughout his term in office. When it comes to Jobs' achievements, what comes across my mind is the threat that Apple poses to its opponents, which can easily be seen by Apple's large market share in the electronic product industry. Not only did Apple enhance the customers' demands, but also beat the morale of other companies. As a result, other companies were required to step forward within a short time to prevent themselves from obsolescence. Last but not least, Apple is regarded as a brand-name in the industry. In the present society, people think highly of brand names. Many tend to support brand-names rather than trying out products of new brands. It is believed that Apple is likely to discourage competing companies from entering the market.

In spite of Jobs' death, it is without a shadow of doubt that Jobs will still continue to pose threats to his opponents due to his past charismatic leadership and his spirit that lives in the heart of the Apple's working team.

　　星期六那天看完辯論比賽，發現觀眾也可以吸收很多知識。另外，辯論選手也需要有良好的臨場反應，還有強勁有力的聲線和清晰的咬字。這也是我需要繼續努力學習的。

　　我方選手準備的資料十分充足，而且界題也不片面，亦有利我方。比賽時，隊員們沉著應戰，自信冷靜。觀賞比賽後，令我明白到說話的語氣，充足的例子，有助增強論點的說服力。

　　總括而言，看完這次比賽，令我明白到辯論比賽中每位選手都要有足夠的自信心，才可以流暢地闡述自己的立場，震懾對手。

　　十一月九日，我去了梁省德小學觀看一場頓精彩的辯論比賽，我校為正方。

　　首先，我想簡短地講述一下參加辯論班的原因和對辯論的看法。起初，我認為辯論是一場富有針對，或攻擊性的口舌之爭。但因為一股莫名的吸引力，帶我走進訓練班當中。

　　但今次的觀戰經歷，令我獲益不少。第一，預備一定要充足。我常常認為預備充足，遇到突發問題，也能應付得來。雖然這只是逢一必知的道理。我不知道雙方的預備時間有多少，但他們付出的努力是不能預計的。

　　第二，自信。從踏進比賽場地那一刻，就必定要抱著自信與冷靜的心態，給人一個具自信的印象，是一種應有的風度。

　　第三，語速。要調節好時間，因為時間有限。太快可能咬字不清，讓人摸不著頭腦；但太慢卻不夠時間述說觀點。當日的兩隊都做得不錯，能盡量運用時間。

　　第四，應準確的針對題目，若果偏離了題目的意思，即使說話有多流暢，那只是徒然的。當天的兩隊搜集了很多資料，全部皆對己方有利，非常厲害。

　　希望未來會有更多機會再觀戰，增加更多知識，得到更多的啟發！

　　這次觀看辯論比賽後實在獲益良多，使我覺得辯論非常刺激。

　　這次比賽後我發現自信是極為重要的，而我校的主辯及第一副辯都具備這條件，一出場便非常有霸氣，彷彿已預知會勝利般，這表現亦讓我對我校辯論隊取勝很有信心。

　　看這這場比賽後我得知結辯應是最困難，最大壓力的角色。她們要摘錄好筆記，適當地總結全隊的觀點，亦要有力地反駁對手的觀點作完整的收結，這應該是一個很關鍵的角色。

　　十一月十九日，我們觀看了一場精采的辯論比賽。是次比賽的題目是「補習導師不應明星化」，我校為正方。

　　這次比賽增加了我對辯論的認識和清楚明白開辯、副辯和結辯的運作。辯員緊扣辯題發揮，見解精確；立場鮮明，論點充足，論據充分。我校第二副辯曾提出一個比喻「糖果的味道不好，包裝如何精美華麗，也是於事無補」，意念新鮮，一針見血，緊扣題目。辯員以具體觀點和實際、大眾化的例子準確回應友方發言，妥善銜接話題，令我印象深刻。

　　技巧方面，辯員時間分配得宜，用詞準確，詞彙豐富雅正。而且辯員發言清晰，聲量充足，字字鏗鏘。速度方面，辯員雖有點快，但停頓適當。眼神照應全場，手勢配合內容，態度得體有禮。

　　這次的辯論比賽真的令我大開眼界。

　　是次得到由香港日本語教育研究會頒發的獎學金，我感到十分榮幸。最初，我選擇學習日文有兩個原因。第一，我十分喜歡日本文化。日本有著各式各樣的祭典，例如：夏祭等，這些祭典大部分都與大自然有關。日本人將大自然視為神一樣尊重，我認為這點是值得學習的。第二，在日常生活中，日本生產或設計的產品無處不在，我希望能夠看懂產品上的日文說明。

　　至今，我學習日文已有差不多兩年半的時間，我覺得學習日文的過程十分開心、有趣。雖然日文有大量單字及文法需要緊記，但是因為老師能耐心地教導，難的都變得容易了。我覺得日文班的課堂不但有趣，更能學到很多關於日本文化的知識，是十分有意義的課程，使我越讀越喜歡。

　　最近，從老師得知北海道大學的獸醫學系是全亞洲第一的，對於將來想成為一位獸醫的我，這個消息令我更加努力去學習日文，希望將來能夠到北海道留學。

　　除此之外，我還想更深入了解日本，所以我會繼續努力學習日文的。

At the night of 15th November, 1917, a British Soldier-Andrew West, was lost in the western front—Gallipoli. He lost contact with his battalion. He was tired and cold. Then he saw a beam of light and heard some laughter coming from a place. They came from a few small houses in front of Andrew. He went to one of the houses and knocked on the door, hoping that it wouldn’t be the Germans.

Eventually, a solider opened the door-Luckily, a British solider as well. The solider welcomed Andrew to go in. There were about a thousand of them, sitting around camp fires. Andrew looked at one of the soldier’s shoulder; the words ‘39 battalion’ were printed on it. Surprisingly, the clothes were full of bullet holes. Andrew had dinner and talked with the soldiers of the 39 battalion. They were very polite, but they refused to tell their names, saying that that’s security matters. So Andrew changed helmets with them and gave them his cigarettes as a gift.

Next morning, Andrew got up early; he left a letter to the 39 battalions before he left.

After finding back his team. Andrew told his commander about it. Surprisingly, his commander looked shocked. He said, ‘the 39 battalion was long gone! They were wiped out to the last man in 1915. There were no survivors in the battalion.’ He took out a piece of paper. It showed that 39 battalion was wiped out in 1915.

Andrew West felt sick. He went back to the place where the 39 battalion were last night. Then, to his horror, he saw hundreds of skeletons scattering on the ground. They were killed by heavy machine guns.

Suddenly, Andrew fainted away. One of the skeletons was wearing Andrew’s helmet. On the skeleton’s hand, was Andrew’s letter.

The Summer Creative Writing English camp was a really meaningful camp. In the camp, I have met a good teacher. She gave us a lot of different advice to improve our English and our writing skills. Also, we learnt a lot about camera skills and script writing during the visit to The Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence. The room was very nice too! It has the same quality of a hotel. I have made friends with a lot of other campers and they all came from different schools in different districts. It is fun to make friends with different people who have different backgrounds. One thing that amazed me in the camp is the English level of the other campers. They all speak very fluent English! After this fantastic experience, I decided to work harder in my English to catch up with them.
