◎文体概述
发言稿是参加会议者为了在会议或重要活动上表达自己的意见、看法或汇报思想、工作情况而事先准备好的文稿。
发言稿的格式一般由三部分构成:
1. 称呼。顶格书写,常用的称呼有Dear Mr/Mrs/Miss...、Dear Sir/Madam、Ladies and gentlemen等。
2. 正文。
3. 结束语。常用“Thank you for listening!”。
发言稿的写作要注意以下三点:
1. 明确演讲的对象很重要,针对不同的听众,发言的内容不同;
2. 发言稿中的观点要明确;
3. 发言稿的语言要通俗易懂、层次清晰、逻辑性强。

Dear friends,
How time flies! Your visit to our school is drawing a close.① Please allow me to take this opportunity to bid your a fond farewell.②
During your stay with us, which lasted for two weeks, we communicated with each other so much that③ we developed deep friendship. We did so many activities together like learning the differences between China and Britain, playing basketball and games and so on. By this exchange activity, we have a deeper understanding of English culture.④ Besides, it's your enthusiasm and teamwork when you played basketball that give me a deep impression.⑤ At this farewell party, I will express my gratitude to all of you and I hope we can keep our friendship forever.
Looking forward to your coming to China again.⑥
Thank you.

②短语allow sb to do sth和take this oppor-tunity to do sth,表明了作者在此演讲的目的。
③so...that...结构表示“如此……以至于……”,表明了作者与英国学生们友谊形成的过程和原因。
④句中have a deeper understanding of的使用,表达了作者对英国文化的理解程度,尤以deeper使用得更为恰当。
⑤该句为强调句,强调enthusiasm和team-work,句中when引导时间状语从句。
⑥该句表达了作者对这些英国学生的诚挚邀请,且短语look forward to的使用表达了作者的期望。
【佳作赏析2】
Dear friends,
How time flies! The two-week exchange activity is coming to a close①. As the chairman of the Students' Union, it's my honor to say something before you leave for England.②
During the two weeks, your friendliness and talents left us a deep impression.③ For one thing, you didn't hesitate to help us when we had difficulty learning English, which benefited us a lot④. For another⑤, when we played basketball after school, your wonderful performance and teamwork had a profound effect on us. It is by this activity that we have learned more about English culture.⑥ Much to our relief, you also love our Chinese culture and characters.
True friendship never ends. I hope we can keep in touch with each other. Welcome to China again.
Thank you.
