recognizably yours.language is a means to transmit
information,not a means to obstruct munication.it should be lucid to be penetrating. in china,certain public speaking skills have been unduly emphasized.will it really help,we are pelled to ask,to bang at the podium or yell at the top of your lungs,if you have e with a poorly organized speech,a muddled mind,and unwillingness to truly share your views? above all,the single most important thing i learnt was that as a public speaker,you need to pay attention,first and foremost,to the content of your speech.and second,the structure of your speech: how one idea relates and progresses to another. only after these e delivery and non-verbal munication: speed control,platform manner,and so
on.pronunciation is important,yet of greater importance is this: is your language petent enough to express your ideas exactly the way you intend them to be understood? i was informed afterwards that i was chosen to be the winner for my appropriately worded speech,excellent presence and quick-witted response.in so remarking,the judges clearly showed their preference: they e to listen for meaningful ideas,not for loose judgments,nor easy laughters. some contestants failed to address their questions head on.some were able to,but did not know where to stop—the dragging on betrayed their lack of confidence.the root cause was that they did not

listen attentively to the questions.or they were thinking of what they had prepared. as i said in my speech,it is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking...to take them [issues like globalization] on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both
opportunities and challenges ing our way.we need to respond honestly. a petition like this draws talented students from all over the country.and of course,i learnt more things than just about public speaking.since in the final analysis,public speaking is all about effective munication.and this goes true for all munications,whatever their setting. and the following is the final version of my speech: globalization:
opportunities and challenges for chinas younger generation thirty years ago,american president richard nixon made an epoch-making visit to china,a country still isolated at that time.premier zhou enlai said to him,your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world—twenty-five years of no munication.thirty years since,china and america have
exchanged many handshakes.the fundamental implication of this example is that the need to municate across differences in culture and ideology is not only felt by the two countries but by many other nations as well. as we can see
today,environmentalists from different countries are making joint efforts to address the issue of global

warming,economists are seeking solutions to financial crises that rage in a particular region but nonetheless cripple the world economy,and politicians and diplomats are getting together to discuss the issue of bating terrorism.peace and prosperity has bee a mon goal that we are striving for all over the world.underlying this mighty trend of global munication is the echo of e.m.forsters words only connect! with the it revolution,traditional boundaries of human society fall away.our culture,politics,society and merce are being sloshed into one large melting pot of humanity.in this interlinked world,there are no outsiders,for a disturbance in one place is likely to impact other parts of the globe.we have begun to realize that a world divided cannot endure. china is now actively integrating into the world.our recent entry to the wto is a good example.for decades,we have taken pride in being self-reliant,but now we realize the importance of participating in and contributing to a broader economic order.from a precarious role in the world arena to our present wto membership,we have e a long way. but what does the way ahead look like?in some parts of the world people are demonstrating against globalization.are they
justified,then,in criticizing the globalizing world?instead of narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor,they say,globalization enables the developed nations to swallow

the developing nations wealth in debts and
interest.globalization,they argue,should be about a mon interest in every other nations economic health. we are reminded by karl marx that capital goes beyond national borders and eludes control from any other entity.this has bee a reality.multinational corporations are seeking the lowest cost,the largest market,and the most favourable policy.they are often powerful lobbyists in government decision-making,ruthless expansionists in the global market and a devastating presence to local businesses. for china,still more challenges exist.how are we going to ensure a smooth transition from the planned economy to a market-based one?how to construct a legal system that is sound enough and broad enough to respond to the needs of a dynamic society?how to maintain our cultural identity in an increasingly homogeneous world?and how to define greatness in our rise as a peace-loving nation?globalization entails questions that concern us all. like many young people my age in china,i want to see my country get prosperous and enjoy respect in the international munity.but it seems to me that mere patriotism is not just enough.it is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking and broaden our mind to bigger issues.there might never be easy answers to those issues such as globalization,but to take them on and give them honest
