"Three strokes and one word" (brush characters, chalk characters, pen characters and Mandarin) is a basic teaching skill that teachers and students must practice for a long time within three years. In the third grade, Mr. Wang was even more strict, he said that writing a beautiful three-stroke hand, speaking a standard Mandarin is the first face you will show to people as a teacher in the future, which is the basis for your future education and teaching work. Because soon after the start of the second semester, we will face graduation internship, so we pay special attention to chalk writing practice and Mandarin practice while learning the primary school Chinese teaching method and mathematics teaching method.

The blackboard in the classroom is not idle at all, and the teacher uses it during class, and after class, the students rush to squeeze up and start the chalk writing practice. In this way, it can't meet the needs of all the students in the class at all. At noon and afternoon after school, the class leader arranged a schedule of practice periods for the whole class, and bought a large box of chalk with the class fee to let everyone step up their practice. A few students simply went to the city to buy a few small blackboards at the stationery store and practiced in the dormitory, so that they didn't have to compete with others for the blackboard. During this time, the students had chalk ash everywhere on their bodies. Everyone laughed and said that we were either practicing chalk writing or on the way to practicing chalk writing.

The Liangzhou dialect belongs to the northern dialect, so it is not too difficult for Liangzhou people to speak Mandarin, most of the pronunciation in the dialect is the same as Mandarin, and the difficulty is that the "l" and "n" are not distinguished, and the front and back nasal sounds are not distinguished. This requires a lot of time to correct. Before and after class, the students were in groups of three or five, checking each other's easy to make mistakes, so it was not lively.

The hardest to speak Mandarin were six students from Hanning County. The biggest obstacle for people in Hanning County to speak Mandarin is that the "h" and "f" are not distinguished, such as taking a plane, which they pronounce as taking a. The most classic joke is that a classmate asked a classmate in Hanning County: "What did you eat at noon?" "Don't say it anymore, I don't eat comfortably at noon, I eat mixed (powdered) peaches and fried back (fat) meat, and now my heart is bad (still) in Hua Huan (turning)."

Zhao Hongyi's Mandarin is very standard, he specially bought a Mandarin exam book, recited repeatedly for common words that are easy to read wrong, and often listened to the news anchor broadcast on TV and radio, from the pronunciation to the intonation is very similar to the announcer. When taking the Mandarin exam, it took almost no effort to get the second-class A certificate easily.

The first important thing is eloquence, and the second important thing is eloquence! In the future, it is unimaginable to be a teacher without excellent eloquence. The whole school speech contest held every year by Liangzhou Second Division, the finalists are extraordinary, especially the speech of Lan Jing, the eighth and ninth grade sister who has graduated, has left an indelible impression on Zhao Hongyi, he was shocked by the real speech for the first time, it turns out that language can produce such a big force, it is amazing!

Zhao Hongyi actively participated in the Speech and Eloquence Club this semester. The tutor is Tian Hua, who once won the runner-up in the provincial young teacher speech competition. Originally, this club only recruited 50 students per term, but the term was full, and more than 100 students were enrolled in this period. To put it mildly, the students who are about to graduate just don't leave, saying that there will be no chance in the future, so Mr. Tian had to select 70 people, which squeezed the classroom with a maximum of 60 people.

The first class was "Overview of Speech and Eloquence", and as soon as Mr. Tian started speaking, he immediately grasped the hearts of 70 students.

"Language is power, and eloquence makes talent. In today's society, the importance of eloquence has become more and more obvious, and eloquence has become an important factor in determining the success or failure of a person's life and career. ”

"Eloquence is the ability of oral expression, which refers to the fact that in different occasions, in the face of a large number of audiences, in the case of insufficient preparation or even no preparation, the oral expression is accurate, well-organized, appropriate, and humorous, so that the audience can have a certain degree of emotional resonance."

Mr. Tian gave a few classic cases. One is that Premier Zhou is witty and eloquent. A foreign reporter asked the prime minister why is it called a road in China when it is obviously a road walked by people? The prime minister said that because we are a socialist country, we are following the road of Marxism, referred to as the road. The foreign reporter asked again, we Americans walk with our heads held high, why do Chinese people like to walk with their heads down? The prime minister replied, because we Chinese are going uphill, and you Americans are going downhill!

Another example says, "IX. After the "13" incident, at a defense meeting of the United Nations Security Council, a representative of a certain country took advantage of this incident to belittle China, saying: "China is so good, why did Lin still fly to the Soviet Union?" The Chinese representative said calmly: "Dear sir, you don't even understand this truth, although the flowers are fragrant, don't flies fly to the toilet?" "The representative really did it himself.

Teacher Tian Hua's language is soft and beautiful, knowledgeable, and various examples are at your fingertips, which makes everyone admire. Everyone loved the lecture and eloquence.

A total of 13 thematic trainings are arranged in this course, namely:

Lecture 1: Dare to Speak Training

Lecture 2: Situational language training

Lecture 3: Pronunciation, speech rate, and intonation training

Lecture 4: Language Skills for Visits and Receptions

Lecture 5 Introduced language skills

Lecture 10 Language Skills for Rejection and Coping

Lecture 11 How to Make a Good Propositional Speech

Lecture 12 How to make a high-level impromptu speech

Lecture 13 How to Make a Polemical Speech

The biggest feature of this course is the combination of lectures and exercises, each club activity time is self-study on Wednesday night, the activity time is one and a half hours, one-third of the time of each class, tutored by Mr. Tian Hua, and two-thirds of the time is discussed and practiced by everyone in groups, so that everyone is really moving.

For example, after the first lecture, practical training activities are arranged: introducing one's hometown or parents. Requirements: 1. Stride up to the podium; 2. Look at your classmates with a smile and make eye contact with them; 3. The students below smiled and looked at the faces of the students on the stage. The after-class exercises are: 1. Positive attitude self-suggestion: recite silently three times every morning: I must speak the boldest, I must speak the loudest, I must speak the most fluently, I must do it; 2. Smile and posture training: learn to smile in front of the mirror for at least one minute every day, and practice manners and gestures when speaking; 3. Courage and self-confidence exercises: Try to look into the eyes of the other person at intervals when talking to people, exercise courage, self-confidence and calm mentality, and try to sit in the first three rows during party time.

Zhao Hongyi soon became obsessed with speech and eloquence, and he was always the first to come to the event site during every club activity, and sat down quietly in the middle of the first row, waiting for Mr. Tian to speak. When it came to the practical training stage, he always rushed to raise his hand to speak, cherishing the rare opportunity to practice. When it came to the discussion and exchange session, he also actively asked Mr. Tian and his classmates for advice. After a few months, everyone found that Zhao Hongyi is simply a different person, he is more and more particular about the art of speaking, whether it is speaking in class or chatting usually, everyone thinks that he is more and more able to speak, he speaks with prominent points, concise and concise, clearly organized, pays attention to intonation, speed of speech, and has a very decent body language, quite a gentleman's style.

The Speech and Eloquence Training Course will come to an end in mid-December. The last graduation ceremony was a summary speech, and this time it was a debate competition. In the past, Mr. Heda had selected 24 students out of 70 students to form six debate teams and held the preliminary and semi-final rounds of debate. The report performance is arranged for the championship and runner-up finals, and the three or four finals, the venue is set in the school auditorium, the school leaders all participated, and each class also selected 10 students to watch the competition. Zhao Hongyi's group has reached the championship and runner-up finals, and he and his debaters have been consulting materials in the library and reading room for a week to discuss the strategy of the debate.

"Debate refers to the use of certain reasons by each other to explain their own opinions on things or problems, and to expose the contradictions of the other party, so as to finally arrive at a correct understanding or common opinion. Its characteristics are: 1. The bilaterality of the debaters: The debate is a bilateral activity, with at least two people participating, and a single aspect can only be a discussion; 2. The antagonism of the debate viewpoints: The views of the two sides are opposite, or wrong, so that there is the possibility of debate, otherwise it is a negotiation; 3. The rigor of the argument: Only a debate that conforms to the logic of thinking can win, otherwise it can only be sophistry; 4. The purpose of pursuing the truth: The purpose of the debate is to pursue the truth and reach a consensus. ”

"Composition of the debate: The process of the debate generally has three stages: the beginning, the beginning and the end, and no debate is complete without any of them. Therefore, a complete debate should generally consist of three parts: the topic, the argumenter, and the refutator. ”

Zhao Hongyi and the four of them once again reviewed the main points of the debate explained by Mr. Tian.
