“Now, here's the million-dollar question: Should schools be putting more resources into sports? Heck yes! It's not just about winning games; it's about winning at life. Investing in sports isn't just about a field or a court; it's about investing in the students' well-being and future success.

So, let's take inspiration from Guangzhou's strategies and get involved. We aim for our schools to be more than just spaces for academic excellence; we want them to serve as cultivators for resilient, team-oriented, and socially conscious individuals. Let's actively participate in making this happen.”

“Now, let's explore what we, as teenagers, can do to contribute to SDGs. Education is a powerful tool. To achieve SDG 4, ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education for all, we must become knowledge disseminators. While appreciating our education, we can promote universal access to knowledge, participating in volunteer activities to brighten every corner, even in remote areas. ”

“I’m bursting with pride thinking about how hard China has been working to kick poverty to the curb. Picture this: the government sent a bunch of experts to the poorest places, sharing all the cool farming info and helping folks sell their stuff. That's why we can get goodies from places like Guizhou and Xinjiang on our phones.It's not just about helping the countryside – it's about making poverty vanish. The government's all-in, and we're seeing it pay off in the stuff we buy with a tap. Now that's commitment, turning "can we do solve this tough task?" into "heck yeah, we can!"I hope this situation extends beyond the borders of China and becomes a global reality! I have I dream I hope one day I can meet someone from an African village, excited about selling the stuff to Asia American Europe. See kids, once needy, now in school chasing dreams.I hope one day the poverty can be eliminate, and the people who used suffer from extremely poor can be saved.

Because all men are created equal!”

“My dream is to become a sports scientist when I grow up. I invite you to imagine a space where female athletes can receive interdisciplinary medical care, find answers to their questions, and optimize their performance throughout their lives. In this envisioned place, they would receive education on the physical changes during puberty, learn to leverage their menstrual cycles for performance advantages, receive sex-specific injury prevention advice, nutritional guidance, and mental health support. They would also acquire knowledge on training during pregnancy and postpartum periods. This place is nothing short of amazing and unbelievable, yet it hasn't materialized. I hope to turn this dream into reality!”

“So, what can we do to fight against it? It's time to break out of the box and be there for those facing gender discrimination. This isn’t just about supporting girls; boys, this is your issue too. Ever hear the “Come on, be a man” line and felt like you had to bury your feelings and act tough? Yeah, we've all been there. But here's the deal—our identity isn’t tied to gender norms. We define who we are. So, let’s step out of that box together, break those stereotypes, and show that gender equality is everyone's business. It’s time to rewrite the rules. ”

“But some fans of Bitcoin argue that it can make use of " stranded generation," referring to excess renewable energy that would otherwise go unused. For example, the hydropower which is overbuilt in Sichuan and Yunan of China. They claim that mining Bitcoin can utilize this surplus energy. However, this argument has its limitations. What are the problems? There are two problems. The extent of stranded generation is uncertain, we don’t know how much. And it is crucial to connect renewable energy sources to the grid for broader societal needs rather than exclusively for Bitcoin mining.

All in all, unless increase the efficiency of that network and find a more sustainable resources to mining the Bitcoin, it is hard to see it being the future of a sustainable financial system.”

“Now I’m gonna answer that Bitcoin CANNOT be a legal currency. Well, I guess you say, why can't he be legalized? Do not worried, that’s what I’m gonna say next. Here comes the reasons. So now it faces about TWO significant types of problems.

1) It lacks of regulatory and legal safeguards AND high price fluctuation. For example: In terms of money laundering, the relevant authorities restrict me from changing foreign currencies, but if I use digital currency, RMB can easily be changed to USD and they can't control me because of the anonymity. 2) Technical safety issues and low volume. So now here comes an issue: Bitcoin is a string of code right? So what will gonna happen if the code disappears because of a hardware problem? The answer is this bitcoin will be gone forever. Eventually, that’s why Bitcoin cannot be legalized.”

“Although many studies indicate that genetically modified food is safe, there are concerns about its long-term effect on human body and environmental effect. A research in the mid-1990 about the genetically modified soybean with the protein of Brazil nuts indicated that the food would trigger allergies in people who were sensitive to Brazil nuts. Also, some got worried whether genetically modified food would cause cancer, which still had no evidence. However, there were proofs that genetically modified food would affect environment and health with the example of the genetically modified crops which were resistant to herbicides. Since the crops were herbicide resistant, farmers would use herbicides to kill weed with no fear that they would harm the crops. That led to the increased resistance in the weed and the overused herbicides which might cause cancer or other disease would be bad for people’s health. ”

通过这次比赛，我深刻认识到演讲的核心在于成功传递某种信息。我的演讲内容来源于我的观察和思考，我真诚地希望能把自己的观点传递给他人，让更多观众听到我的声音。而这次比赛的不足之处在于我准备不够充分、演讲技巧有待加强，在未来的演讲中，我会提前规划好演讲内容，确保其有条理。同时，我会加强背诵和练习，提高表达的流畅度。此外，我也会学习更多的公众演讲技巧，使我的演讲更具说服力和感染力。

6.指导教练：张楚瑶老师

在这次的Speak Out Challenge中，我有幸见证了学校里众多出色的演讲者。同学们的准备过程非常认真，他们不仅一遍遍地在课下练习演讲技巧，还积极寻求老师的指导，对演讲稿的结构和内容进行精心打磨。经过他们的不懈努力，我们得以看到许多同学能够在脱稿的基础上，进行声情并茂的演讲，这让我们感到非常欣慰。

英语演讲不仅体现了英语口语的能力，更是一种知识储备和自我表达的输出。通过这次比赛，大家能够从自身与他人的演讲互动中相互学习、切磋技艺。这正是我们举办这次比赛的意义所在。

最后，我要感谢SOC组委会以及老师、同学们对这次比赛的大力支持，你们的付出为这次比赛画下了圆满的句号。
