一、总体效果:
CC2文稿在某天跑步时确定的主题,花了2h就写完了、大大出乎了我的意料,因为CC1我是憋了好久的构思,到演讲前两天才完全写出来的,完全是deadline促进了我的激素水平,这次竟然提前2周完成了文稿。
文稿的修改邀请了三位-Ivy、Neo和Catherine,三位从调动听众情绪、文稿结构编排、声音形体等不同方面给了我许多中肯的建议,同时也在线上线下给了我许多鼓励,感觉棒棒哒~
前前后后练习了30遍文稿,第7遍时 可以通背下来,10遍开始能够声情复述,此时距正式演讲还有一周;用手机录了一段 打算跑步的时候边听边跑,发现自己一心两用也是比较困难,但勉勉强强听了几次、感觉也还行——一段录音6min左右、我的配速也差不多,体验一下这种同步的感觉还挺好玩;既然一心两用比较勉强,有的时候就会把练习放在跑步后的走路放松阶段、这样不知不觉又能走上几公里,有一种主题和行动的契合感、也算体验了一把知行合一。
现场演讲时还是紧张了,有几个地方停顿了,不过设计的body language都做到了、效果很好,平时练习6:34的讲稿现场花了5:13就讲完了,自己也没搞懂怎么快了这么多。
二、前期投入:
作为一名算不上热爱并长期在与英语死磕的道路上且行且珍惜的童鞋,对于它只能说又爱又恨。
时间投入:小学零星学过一点就忽略了,从初中开始算-18年。初高中 7年*300天*2 h=4200 h,大学4年*50天*2 h+第二专业3年*80天*8 h+考研180天*4 h=3040 h,硕博士7年*300天*0.5 h+考博60天*6 h+英语组织10次*3 h=1440 h,一共8680 h。
如果按1万小时理论(马尔科姆·格拉德韦尔的作品《异数》),我这俨然再修炼一两年就要成专家了,然而现实就是开口交流、报告提问 我都会觉得很为难,张口忘词儿是常事儿,连最基础的流利交流和随心表达自己的水平都做不到~成专家更是没影儿了。可见无谓的重复和死磕,在过去的英语学习中,白白耗费了我太多时间,效率低下。
金钱投入:大学第二专业学费9k,小麦英语 微学英语等约1k。
感情投入:大学里的早起都是为了读背英语好么?我跟人约会都没这么积极过!敢问有多少人的青春里没有英语?它有时会给我一颗糖,有时会给我一顿暴击,我却还要死气白咧地跟着它;加入微学英语是被打击最严重的一次,一群各行各业的伙伴,说英语和说中文一样顺嘴,面对这样的鸿沟 我开始对自己曾经的投入产生大大的怀疑~不过,时至今日,我还是在死气白咧地跟着它,只不过这次 我想跟它谈判。
是谁告诉我学英语要从abandon那些词汇背起?我要是想起是谁 真跟谁急!真真是爱之深 恨之切。
三、转化率:
证书:only大学英语4、6级证书,还脑子抽抽了考了个6级口语、磕磕绊绊答完那些小问题、C+级、至今觉得很丢人,大学英语第二专业学位证书。
工作:研究生入学考试 英语很中国特色地成为了一个很关键的筛选工具、多少有学术理想的青年学子被阻断于此;我说不上自己是这一机制的受益者还是受害者(硕士那次英语考得特别差39分-百分制、大跌眼镜 印象深刻、刷新了我这辈子的成绩记录,博士那次60+分、不好不坏),以上为应试英语;研究生期间专业文献一般都是英文、自己投的文章也都是英文,以上为专业英语兼哑巴英语。
每个月都会有领域大牛来所里做各种报告,听报告时 一般也就抓住关键词,萌萌懂懂听一部分,真没有什么醍醐灌顶的感觉,从来没有……(看到这个,导师会不会打我)。提问是绝对没有这个胆儿的。接待过几次外宾,有的时候脑子灵光就多聊几句、有的时候脑子秀逗就比划比划 一笑而过。
旅行:祖国的大好河山还只是浅尝辄止呢,啥时候能开始一段用得着英语的旅行呢?
演讲:微学英语活动,土马CC1、CC2。
经常交流的国外友人:0
四、进阶之路
关于演讲,带着爱和使命、想一想为什么有这次演讲,放松、放下那个自我和那些小我。
关于英语,Jamie说土马的旅程也是一场马拉松,它有刻意练习、伙伴的鼓励和建议,也许这才是英语对于人思维重塑,应用它 学习它正确的打开方式。
Pursuing for Marathon charm
Dear Toastmasters and guests, April is back! At the beginning of my speech, please allow me to show you a situation. Imagine that you are a marathoner taking part in a full Marathon race. You get up early, eat simply but carefully, warm up from head to feet, and take a photo. Everything is ready. During the competition, you run in the middle of the road, all the motor vehicles make way for you. You run with a crowd of person without loneliness. You run under the encouragement of lots of volunteers. Of course, you worried about Leg Cramp and heatstroke especially after 30 kilometers. Finally, finally, finally, no matter which way, walk or run, finishing line is approaching, approaching and reaching. Yes, you got it, even though you find your leg lame. Ask yourself, what’s your feeling in this imagination? What is Marathon charm? I may talk about following three questions.
The first one: why I take part in Marathon race? Firstly, I should say following the trend. Marathon is a fashion nowadays, I will follow it. By this way, I have more topics with friends to share, like today. Shortly after one of my friends complete her first race I got it in my mind that I could do the same thing. And then, losing weight is a woman's lifelong career. As a classic aerobic exercise, running has really low requirements for environment and equipment. Finally, do physical exercises. A Marathon race force me to formally training. Create a running lifestyle. And I will have more friends who are good at sports.
The second one: how to prepare muscles andthoughts to adapt to this kind of relatively high intensity exercise? Let’slooking at this coordinate axis. It describes therelationship between likability and ability. Due to the differences betweenlikability and ability, our abilities were divided into four areas- advantagearea, potential area, retreat area and blind area. For a beginning runner,there is no doubt that running is his potential area. To be more skilled,deliberate practice is essential. Deliberate practice here is Marathontraining. Some simple tips are needed. For instance, practice 30 kilometers forat least 3 times before a full Marathon. By this way, your body is moresuitable for the race, and you will more confident and your performance must begood enough.
The third one is what to attention. We should pay attention to physical condition during the competition. Without comparison withothers, without inner obsession, instantly physical condition is the mostimportant. Once uncomfortable, stop and ask for help. As a first-aid volunteer,each Marathon race, I can hear about collapsed runners. Some are verified to beserious consequence even death.
All in all, Like Forrest Gump, running is not only a speed, but also an attitude. They say you can’t run away from your troubles, I say that you can. Marathon charm is a lifestyle, an art and a passion. With our passion to run, to be a better one!
