Accept the task
1990 I came when Hongjialou No.2 Primary School was founded. I have been conscientious in my ordinary work and do every job well. Over the years, I have also experienced some hardships. In the face of the experience brought by life and death, it is said that there will be blessings after living. I think it is a very happy thing to have a second life. Since then, I have been open-minded and cheerful about many things, and I have done one thing calmly. I feel quite satisfied. The school leaders think that I have been working hard at school for so many years, and what I have done is quite in line with the theme of the speech "Love my post and respect my work, and carry forward the spirit of model workers and craftsmen". So, I decided to let a man in his fifties take part in the competition.
Generally speaking, speech activities are attended by young teachers with excellent image and temperament and outstanding speech ability. I stood in front of the mirror in the school auditorium and looked at my hair in the mirror. I felt a lot. At school, it's time for children to start calling "grandpa". I don't know whether to accept this task to attend a speech. On second thought, after working for so many years, I have the opportunity to stand in front of the stage and sort out my educational path, and then re-examine myself and know myself.
When I first joined the work, Chairman Mao once said to us, "You young people should be mentally prepared to bury your head in pulling carts at work. Look up at the direction every once in a while, right? Right direction, okay! Then continue to bury your head in the cart and you will definitely gain something. " It is telling us that young people should not be impetuous, but should work hard. I have always kept these words in mind.
Draft material
After accepting the task, I began to think about how to organize the speech in 8 minutes. I looked back on my work experience for more than 30 years like watching a movie. Nothing really happened to me. When it comes to dedication, hard work and skill training, I think we can still talk about it.
Before writing the speech materials, I found the writing "expert" President Hou around me and asked him for help. I dragged President Hou to the couplet gallery in the south of the playground and had a long talk under the budding wisteria. We set the tone for the speech together. We don't need illness and painful experience to set ourselves off, we don't need pain to win applause, and we don't want to be happy. Teachers are the inheritors of culture. They should establish a healthy, sunny and positive image of teachers, work steadily and make outstanding achievements. Therefore, I am determined to write about guarding school culture, inheriting school culture, publicizing school culture, and learning and growing in the course implementation. Draw up the topic of "spring breeze melts rain, willing to be a dream catcher in Xingtan" as the speech material.
Judging from the work I am responsible for, I choose to sort out the materials from three aspects: nearly 30 years of archival work, nearly 20 years of propaganda work and active research and development of chess school-based curriculum. They are "obsessed with Lantai, being the guardian and inheritor of school culture"; "Light and shadow pursue dreams and promote positive energy on campus"; With the subtitle of "Enjoy the chess game and strive to shine in life", I wrote down my growing experience of more than 4,000 words in chronological order.
I calculated that according to the normal speaking speed of the announcer, I can speak nearly 2000 words in 8 minutes. I tried my speech speed, and after watching 2000, it was close to 10 minutes. Therefore, the manuscript was greatly deleted. At first, it was cut and merged paragraph by paragraph, then it was revised sentence by sentence, and then it was determined word by word. Finally, the manuscript was reduced to about 1600 words. In this way, if I am skilled, I can control it within 8 minutes.
Practice quickly.
This competition needs a speech without words. With the manuscript, it is a crucial first step from behind the scenes to the stage. Say it, say yes, or practice more. /kloc-the manuscript of more than 0/600 words is not long at first glance, but people of my age still need to work hard to speak skillfully.
I will take part in the competition at the end of March. Whenever I have free time, I take out my manuscript to read and memorize. Participating in the competition on behalf of the school is not my own business, but the business of our whole teaching staff. Therefore, while practicing in person, I also took the time to give a speech to the children of several classes in grade six, and asked teachers and classmates to point out the maze. At my age, I don't care much about winning prizes. The focus is on participation, but you can't lose to the teacher in the second primary school of Honglou when you go to the podium.
The summit forum of teachers' growth alliance hosted by the school will be held from March 3 1 day to April 1 day. In the forum activities, I would also like to introduce the implementation of the chess course on behalf of the school. During that time, there was a lot of work to be done in memorizing speeches, writing forum speech materials, making speech courseware and preparing for meetings. President Hou also asked all five of us not to follow the script. It was "stressful" at that time. We also comfort ourselves that there is pressure to have motivation. Come on!
Encounter before the game
Time flies, and the day of the game is coming in a blink of an eye. On the way to the stadium, I also took the time to familiarize myself with the manuscript and practice softly. As a result, we heard that Chairman Sun forgot to start while waiting for the red light, and she got on as soon as the horn sounded. I dare not make any more noise, so I have to think silently about the content of the speech in my mind.
I got the number 16 in the lucky draw before the game, which gave me more preparation time. I am outside the stadium, facing the wall, giving speeches over and over again, trying to be as skilled as possible. While I was preparing carefully, I suddenly found a familiar figure flashing in the window next to me. Director Jia of the Family Planning Commission of our school.
At ordinary times, in many school activities, we have a lot of dealings, so we recognized Director Jia at a glance. I thought, how did she come to this stadium? I quickly stopped and walked quickly to say hello to her. It turned out that one of her friends posted the list of speeches and the serial number of speeches in the WeChat circle of friends in the stadium. She happened to be doing business nearby, and when she saw me on the list of participating in the speech contest on behalf of the school, she quickly came to cheer me on. He also said: "You take pictures of others all day, and today I will take pictures and record videos for you." After hearing what she said, my heart warmed up. What good parents!
She is afraid of disturbing my preparation for the speech, so she will go to the stadium to listen to the speech. I quickly stopped her. "I'll rehearse for you first, and I'll be on stage soon." I stood face to face with Director Jia, and I told her word for word. As he spoke, a kind of calmness and self-confidence that he had never had before came to mind, and he also spoke of the ideal cadence.
The recognition and encouragement from my parents have made my heart a lot more solid.
Make an appearance on the stage
It's my turn to go on stage. I put my speech card in my pocket, adjusted my party member badge on my chest, picked up the receiver and came to the center of the stage. Facing the judges and the audience, I bowed deeply, took a deep breath, calmed my excited little heart and prepared for the official start of the speech for many days.
From the graduation of 1986 Normal School to the transfer to the newly established Hongjialou No.2 Primary School, the school memorabilia with more than 60,000 words has been recorded for 29 years. From the production of the school celebration brochure, to the behind-the-scenes work in the publicity, tens of thousands of photos, more than two million words of news articles, and then to the later years, we will continue to learn and develop courses and be admitted to the national referee. Speaking of 29 years, I can't help feeling from my full head of hair to my gray temples.
I am on the stage, telling my own story and my mental journey of practicing the spirit of artisans. From time to time, I will have a simple communication with the audience under the stage. Seeing everyone's encouraging eyes, I was not so nervous when I first came on stage. Natural fluency has become the main theme of my speech, and with proper hand movements, it has also enhanced the appeal of the speech.
Yuan Mei's poem "Moss flowers are as small as rice, but they also bloom like peony." As the conclusion of my speech, it expressed my heart. Years of hard work and struggle have won everyone's recognition and affirmation, and my heart is enough. Within the specified time, the speech was successfully completed.
When the host announced the score, I unexpectedly won the first place with the highest score. Chairman Sun and Director Jia of the trade union are very excited. They are happy for me and proud of Honglou No.2 Primary School. They think it is not easy for me, the oldest speaker, to achieve such results.
Some opinions
In the process of participating in the speech contest, I listened carefully to the wonderful speeches of several teachers. The good spirit and educational feelings of our employees in Licheng were vividly displayed in the speech contest. Their touching stories in different jobs deeply touched me, inspired me and infected me. Everyone is a teacher representative from the front line of education. After all, there are only a few people walking on the stage, and behind them are more educators who are silently dedicating their youth and strength to the cause of education. A little down-to-earth work is also a kind of enjoyment, if it can bring some enlightenment to young teachers.
In our school, it is often said that every teacher is a mountain and every teacher is the wealth of the school. I attended this speech and had the opportunity to walk from behind the scenes to the front. But there are more excellent teachers in our school, who are working hard with heart, affection and heart. Love implicit forest, prosperous as brocade. Su Han holding a megaphone in class, Bian Qing who loves her job and dedication, "Qin Ma" on the playground, Xu Liying, a famous Jinan teacher with outstanding business, and Yang Shutong, the most beautiful worker in Jinan, are all role models around me.
For a long time, the team culture of unity, harmony and cooperation accumulated by the school has influenced everyone. I am grateful that I am a member of the excellent teachers' team of No.2 Primary School in Honglou and cherish every day in this school.
