Chapter one: Overview of speech contest activities.

I. Purpose of the activity:

With responsibility, youth has no regrets. Let youth take responsibility and let responsibility light up youth. In order to enrich the after-school life of student cadres in our school and enhance their understanding of youth and responsibility, we carefully planned and built a stage for the majority of student cadres to show their responsibilities in the form of speeches, and wrote several pages of youth chapters. Our learning department sincerely invites everyone to get together and hold this speech contest.

Second, the activity process:

1. After returning to school during the National Day holiday, the learning department held several meetings to discuss the choice of the host, the selection of the contestants and the planning.

2. One week before the activity, notify the players from all departments of the Student Union, the Youth League Committee, the Youth League Committee, the Social Welfare Association and the "Nine Major" departments of this activity so that the players can be accurate in advance.

3. In the early stage of the activity, the Learning Department invited the Propaganda Department to help make a publicity board for this activity. At the same time, the learning department actively carried out various preparatory work, such as applying for venues, application materials, and evaluating hosts.

On April 25th 19: 30, the competition officially kicked off, and the activity procedures were implemented according to the planning requirements.

5. At the end of the speech, the on-site judges and teachers presented awards to the winners, and the activity was coming to an end. Teacher Li commented on this activity. Finally, the vice chairman of our school's student union made a comment on this activity to the student union cadres.

Three. Problems, shortcomings and solutions:

1. Activity conflict: When contacting some departments, our department learned that the other department was going to participate in other activities that day, and hoped that all departments would properly handle conflicts among various activities in the future.

2. Applying for a venue: Applying for a venue is an important part of this activity. Apply for the venue on the same day and approve it on the same day. I hope everyone will take a warning. In the future, you should apply for the venue in advance and confirm it.

3. Venue layout: The venue layout tests whether the organizer has carefully handled the planning and layout of the competition. There are a series of problems in the venue layout of this competition: improper handling of microphones. The voice was low during the game, and the staff took the stage several times to adjust the microphone. I hope that the next activity will avoid similar low-level mistakes; When writing a few big characters on the blackboard, it was not clean and neat, and the contestants had already arrived at the stadium, but several people in our department were not very smooth when dealing with a few big characters on the blackboard. I hope that the next time I encounter similar problems, I can arrange a person with beautiful and fluent writing to take charge of this work. If there is no best candidate in this department, I can ask the propaganda department to help me complete this task. There are no clues about the handling of facilities. When the stadium was laid out, the tables and stools on the podium were changed in several places. After the game, no one knows where the tables and stools are. I hope to determine the person in charge of the venue next time.

4. Discipline at the venue: the discipline at the venue is loose, and some student cadres are not focused. I hope to strictly control the discipline of the venue next time.

5. Moderator: The moderator is the central system in the activity atmosphere. Hosts should avoid using the same and monotonous connectors. I hope to consider the details before the next activity.

6. Etiquette problem: Before the planning of this activity, there were not enough etiquette personnel, so the nearby staff were temporarily invited to serve as etiquette personnel during the awarding session. I hope that enough etiquette personnel can be selected before the next activity.

7. In this activity, the phenomenon of asking teachers to comment first appeared. I hope it can be corrected in future activities, please ask the teacher to comment first, and then award the winners.

Four. Assisting department:

Propaganda Department: Make two movable exhibition boards.

Security Department: Assist in maintaining discipline in venues.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) overall summary:

This keynote speech entitled "Remember the fragrance of flowers and continue to write the youth of coloured glaze" ended like this! What is left for us is that wonderful memory! We remember the photo albums left by the brothers and sisters in the learning department for this activity, miss the years that the brothers and sisters walked together, release the beautiful pictures in this activity, and let our smiles freeze into eternal classic memories! Time flies, but it can't dry up that sincere friendship.

The newcomers in this activity are proactive and conscientious. I hope that the learning department will continue to carry forward this spirit of unity and create a better tomorrow for the learning department! I would like to thank the propaganda department for making two exhibition boards for the learning department in a short time! I would like to thank the person in charge of the lecture hall of the Party Committee for providing the venue for the learning department, as well as other departments that assisted the learning department in carrying out this activity, and thank the delegations from all departments for coming to the venue.

Our learning department will discuss and analyze the shortcomings in this activity in the future! I hope to hold the next event better. Let's wait and see the dawn of the Ming Dynasty!

Chapter two: Overview of speech contest activities.

In order to implement Scientific Outlook on Development, vigorously carry forward the Iron Man Spirit of Daqing Spirit, cultivate students' good civilized habits, purify the campus education environment, inherit and carry forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, urge students to establish correct morality, values and outlook on life, and promote the formation of good school spirit, class spirit and study style. The Youth League Committee organized a keynote speech contest on "Practice Scientific Outlook on Development, Carry Forward Daqing Spirit and Iron Man Spirit, and Strive to Be a Civilized Middle School Student". With the concern of school leaders and the support of all teachers and students, the speech contest was held in the lecture hall on the afternoon of May 26th, and it was a complete success.

Secretary An of Daqing No.1 Middle School, President of Foreign Language School, Secretary of Junior Middle School, President Yue Xiaoqing of Government Primary School, Director Li Li of Senior Middle School, Vice President of Experiment No.1 Middle School and Vice President Li Zhimin of Experiment No.2 Middle School attended the meeting and served as judges of the speech contest.

The students participating in the competition are all excellent players recommended by various ministries. In the competition, their wonderful performances fully demonstrated their talents and skills. The speech is clear in content, profound in conception, rich in content, well-founded, and closely linked with work practice; The language expression is natural and fluent, and the sound and emotion are full; Dignified and generous appearance, friendly and natural expression, full of vitality and spirit, every detail of the speech fascinated and moved the judges and the audience, and won warm applause from the judges and the audience.

The competition was conducted in strict accordance with various procedures, which embodied the principle of "fairness, justice and openness". After the contestants' speeches are finished, the judges will score on the spot and announce the results.

Through this activity, students have a deeper understanding of the true meaning of practicing Scientific Outlook on Development, carrying forward Daqing spirit and Iron Man spirit, and profoundly interpreted their own values and outlook on life. At the same time, the speech contest also improved students' speaking ability, enriched students' after-school life and built a good platform for students to show their talents. Because I was in class before, I didn't know much. When I arrived, I found some shortcomings:

1. I confirmed that I didn't pay enough attention to the classroom before, and I didn't find that the classroom had been dominated by others. It was not discovered until the game approached, which led to confusion in work.

Temporary problems in the classroom are not considered in the emergency plan.

I think we have done well in other aspects and corrected many problems in the debate, such as:

1, the seriousness of the staff has improved, and everyone has done their own thing.

2. We have also done a good job in receiving the academic committee.

3, properly coordinate with the department that originally dominated the classroom, politely explain the situation to others, and handle this matter well.

4. When there are problems in the classroom, everyone helps together, which shows our team spirit.

I hope everyone will continue to cheer, try to correct their shortcomings and stick to their advantages!

Tan Yuzhu

First of all, the speech contest was held smoothly. Everyone does his duty in his post, and no one walks around. Compared with the debate, it is a big step forward.

This time, however, an unexpected situation appeared, which was discovered just before we started. Our classroom is dominated by others. The reason may be that the aunt who delivered the blackboard in the morning lost it, or that someone else lost it and occupied the classroom. Although we found this situation early and solved the problem, there is no guarantee that it will not happen next time. Therefore, when we are in the second teaching classroom, we must bully on the same day, and earlier to prevent being spoiled by our aunt.

There are also some details, such as the unmarked notes in the first and second lottery, which caused them to make a mistake in the lottery. And when it's the next player's turn, don't just say the next one, but tell the player's number and name, because some players can't remember whose turn it is.

Zhou Qing' ai

After some efforts, the long-prepared speech contest was finally held successfully. First of all, I want to thank the police officers who have been working hard that night. Without everyone's efforts and cooperation, the selection of the speech contest could not have been completed so smoothly, and everyone did a good job. Once again, let me feel the unity spirit and attractive charm of the learning department family. However, there are still many problems behind success that we need to sum up:

1. Determination of the venue: Due to the negligence of our person in charge, the classroom in advance was occupied by other departments on the day of the activity, resulting in a temporary change of venue. This kind of problem will affect the image of our learning department in the whole college. Therefore, in future activities, the person in charge should lead the classroom on the same day and check the classroom in advance to avoid similar problems.

2. Process rehearsal: It's the first time to engage in a more formal activity, but I didn't pay attention to the rehearsal process in advance, which led to confusion in rehearsal before the activity and failed to achieve the ideal effect of rehearsal. In the future, we should rehearse roughly once in the preliminary preparation and once before the official activities begin. Only in this way can our activities be held more smoothly.

3. Invitation of judges: As one of the leaders, I really ignored the details of the judges, didn't have a deep understanding of the invitation of Xiaohua, and didn't emphasize that the judges should prepare questions and prepare concluding remarks. This time gave us a warning: every detail is important.

4. Personnel arrangement: Although there are lessons from the debate, our personnel arrangement this time is also the biggest problem. First of all, I didn't let all the officers know their work in advance, which led to a bit of confusion when arranging the scene. Some officers didn't know the specific work. Unreasonable work distribution has led some officers to come over from class without tasks, wasting time.

5. Sequential lottery and seating arrangement: In the lottery order, we didn't come up with a fair lottery method in advance, so that the players can draw directly, which may make the players who draw later feel unfair. In the future, we will consider organizing the lottery according to the order of signing in. The seating arrangement does not meet the specific requirements, so when the contestants enter the venue, the lecture venue will be chaotic. In the future, we should arrange the seating arrangement in detail.

6. SMS notification: I always thought that notification messages could only be sent to one of the ministers responsible for related activities. I'm sorry, the notice of this speech contest didn't go through Minister Jie Gu and Vice Minister Zhao Rong. We can't have similar problems in the future.

7. Completion of the planning book: We spent a lot of time discussing the content of the planning book, but there are still many problems in the final planning book, reflecting that the work efficiency of several responsible persons needs to be improved, so we should try our best to complete the planning book two days before the event.

8. Politeness: This issue was not emphasized before the activity, which led to the failure to greet the judges and damaged the image of the college. Politeness deserves attention.

The conclusion is not that we didn't do well, but I hope everyone can realize these details, so as to reduce mistakes in our work and do things better! Generally speaking, the preliminary contest of the speech contest was a great success. We should constantly learn from these activities, paving the way for the big projects we will be responsible for in the future. Come on, officers, do your job well, do your department work well, and carry forward the spirit of business students!

Xiaohua Li

The preliminaries of the English speech contest have ended. As one of the main leaders, I feel generally satisfied. Recalling the dribs and drabs in the whole planning process, I feel a lot. Experience is accumulated in constant practice, and only by constantly summing up can we make continuous progress. The following is my personal summary of this competition:

Advantages:

1, the team spirit is commendable and the cooperation is smooth.

All members of the group can attend every discussion and actively put forward their own views and opinions. They can also listen carefully to others and don't interrupt. Perhaps this speech contest is more common and simple, and everyone's opinions are more unified. There is no big controversy, but more complementarity. Occasionally disagree, after some discussion, there will be satisfactory results, rather than always entangled. I hope that in my future work, no matter how different opinions there are, I can treat them objectively.

2. The report is well done.

We can report our progress to our senior in time and ask her for advice.

3. Clear division of labor.

The previous division of labor was very good, and everyone tried their best to do their assigned work and help each other.

The division of labor during the competition is also very clear, and because one of the officers can't come because of his foot injury, we can arrange another officer to replace him (field control) in time.

4. The order of the competition was maintained well.

The contestants were led into the venue by the field director, and the venue was orderly. The staff can't walk around at will, and the discipline is much higher than that of the previous debate.

Because we used two classrooms, and other associations planned to come here for a meeting that night, people kept walking inside. We don't know in advance, but we can improvise and arrange several people to block up in the corridor, stop them and explain clearly so as not to interfere with the game.

Insufficient:

1. There is no innovation in the planning book, and many of them are copied from last year's planning book.

When planning this competition, Sister Yan Ting gave us the planning book of last year's speech competition for our reference. We thought the framework of the planning book was the same, so we copied the whole framework, only modified some contents, and even copied and pasted some items that were not available last year. Moreover, the plan book given to the teacher elder sister is not fully and comprehensively considered in details. Later, after the criticism and correction of my senior sister, we revised it again and again and finally improved a lot.

Lesson: The planning book is a detailed introduction to the whole activity process and the embodiment of our planning ideas, which must be completed by ourselves. Every step and thing in the planning book must be authentic or predictable. In the future, you should think independently, seek truth from facts and pay attention to details.

2. Classroom.

I didn't find the classroom occupied earlier. It was only about 3 hours before the game, so I changed my position temporarily, which caused a lot of inconvenience.

Lesson: In the future, you should go to the classroom on the day of the activity so that it will not be erased, and you should check it regularly to make sure it is foolproof.

3. The work of contacting the judges is not comprehensive.

Instead of explaining the whole process of the competition and the number of judges in advance, the judges were told before the competition, which caught them off guard.

Lesson: contact the judges a few days in advance, show them the plan in advance, and let the judges know the whole competition process.

4. The form of check-in is not planned.

The original plan was that both the registration and the competition were held in the same classroom, because there were less than two classrooms connected. Later, the location of the classroom was temporarily changed, and the two classrooms were connected together, so the sign-in place was temporarily separated from the competition, which was a bit unprepared.

Lesson: Be sure to think of all possible things in advance and make a detailed emergency plan.

outer city wall

The preliminary contest of the speech contest has come to a successful conclusion, but many problems can still be seen.

1. I still haven't noticed the details. When issuing the number plate, because the number plate is divided into two parts, it is sent to freshmen by mistake, and those who become sophomores can only be recycled and reissued, which leads to a slight complaint from freshmen and easily leaves an impression of incompetence on the staff.

2. Temporarily change the check-in point. This temporary replacement of the sign-in desk slightly disrupted the prepared work. Although the impact is not great, it is best to explain in advance to prevent problems before they happen.

3. Use of the classroom. The temporary change of the classroom caused the staff to call the venues one by one, which made a few players fail to arrive on time and temporarily occupied 50 1. Although the classroom in 502 (previously occupied by other organizations) is not unintentional, it always feels bad and brings inconvenience to others. At the same time, it also reminds us that we must pay attention to careful confirmation when occupying the classroom to ensure that the news will not be rubbed or occupied by other departments.

4. The telephone notification is not clear. After changing classrooms, because of the large number of people, the staff may make a slip of the tongue, which makes the players unable to accurately understand the venue. Of course, it does not rule out that the players themselves have heard wrong. However, both subjective and objective reasons remind us that we should be cautious and take our work seriously everywhere.

Chen xiaomin

Although the curtain of the English speech contest has fallen, the problems exposed in the process deserve our serious consideration.

1, planning book. Maybe we are very specific when discussing, but we are still not clear and specific in expression; In addition, in the structure, we only know the theme and background of the event, but ignore the innovation. This makes our planning book look rigid. In the future, when we write the plan, we must be detailed, and the emergency plan and personnel arrangement must be as detailed as possible.

2. The time arrangement is not reasonable enough. A lot of preliminary work is a bit messy, such as stocking.

3. The classroom application is not clear. Because the department was occupied, we had to change the venue temporarily, which caused the players to be dissatisfied with our work. In the future, try to apply for the department of the first teaching experimental building, and at the same time take one in the second teaching as a backup.

There is not enough contact between the headmaster and other officials. In the previous discussion, because other officials did not participate in the discussion, many details were unclear, which caused the dilemma of not answering the questions of the academic Committee. Every discussion in the future should be notified to other officials at the first time.

5. Notes for players. Some academic committees failed to convey the competition information to the players in time and accurately, resulting in some players failing to arrive at the scene on time, which affected the progress of the competition. We should strengthen communication with academic committees in the future.

Elisa Chan

I think this competition is very good. The final activity time is close to the preliminary estimate; The order and arrangement of the scene is also better than that of the debate. Everyone has learned the previous lesson. Of course, there are also problems, such as: if the classroom is changed, notice will be sent when the classroom is found; Another example is that the order of freshmen is a bit confusing, but the director immediately changed the order of sophomores in the second half. I believe that through every experience of overture, we will do better step by step!

Chapter III: Summary of the University Student's Day Speech Contest.

The speech contest is mainly aimed at freshmen of grade 06. As a student who has just started college life, it always takes some time to adapt to the environment and life. In order to make freshmen of Grade 06 adapt to the environment faster, better understand their values and improve their comprehensive quality. After the publicity of the organizers in the early stage of the activity, the students quickly understood the significance of this theme. Everyone signed up enthusiastically, and finally more than 30 people participated in the preliminaries. After the preliminaries, twelve students, including Zhang Hongchao, stood out.

In order to let the students who entered the finals have a better play in the finals. Our intensive training for athletes. We invited Shi Hua, former President of Student Union of our college, and Chen Xinli, former Minister of Network. They once participated in the speech contest of Minjiang College on behalf of our college and achieved good results. After several days' training, the contestants' speech level has been obviously improved. This also gives us great confidence and makes the final better.

After active preparation and overcoming difficulties, the final was held as scheduled. In order to better show the comprehensive ability of students in our college, we joined the talent show and knowledge quiz in the final. And set up a personal style award. And please come to our vice president Lv Kun, senior lecturer, secretary of the Communist Youth League Committee, teacher Lin Jiantai, director of the student affairs office, teachers such as Liu Tianxing and Xue, and student representatives such as Shi Hua, Liu Lei as judges. The contestants gathered together to shine. The speeches of these outstanding people who stood out from the preliminaries were different. They interpreted the theme of the competition from different starting points and conquered the audience and judges with wonderful speeches. The applause continued.

After fierce competition, Zhang Hongchao of Art Design Class 6 won the first prize and personal style award in one fell swoop. Won the second prize, Wang Jing and Huang won the third prize, and five other students won the Excellence Award.

This activity is one of the larger activities organized by the Youth League Committee this semester. In order to let more people get exercise in the activities, all employees actively participate in the activities, always thinking of serving everyone as the goal. Everyone encourages each other, helps each other and solves problems together. This is also an important factor for the successful completion of the activity. In addition, our activities have also been supported by various league branches, who actively provide talents for the competition, which makes our activities expand the scope of influence. It also allows the purpose of the activity to be better accomplished.

Things in the world are never perfect. There are also some shortcomings in the activities.

1. During the poster exhibition, due to the lack of coordination in advance, our small press group did not arrive in time, which made us lose many moments to retain wonderful pictures. The teacher also pointed out and guided our work in time.

2. In the process of activities, we sometimes consider the problem incompletely, which leads to our work sometimes being passive. Especially in the final of the speech contest, there are some problems in timing. This also makes some of our photos can not be better displayed in front of classmates.

These problems are caused by our poor consideration of our work in advance, and this is where we will continue to correct them in the future. We don't want to see problems, but problems are also the focus of our future work, our valuable experience and the only way to grow.

We have finished the task of the activity, but we can't relax our work. Quality education is a long-term project, and it is a long way to go to improve the comprehensive quality of college students. The development of campus cultural activities can only provide students with an opportunity to exercise and improve. We still have a lot of work to do in order to better serve students and improve their comprehensive quality. It is necessary to strengthen publicity, so that students can establish a sense of crisis and actively improve their comprehensive quality. We also hope that our students can actively study and work, strive to improve their comprehensive quality and become an excellent socialist builder.

Chapter four: Summary of speech contest.

With the in-depth training of the group company, on the evening of May 17 and on the afternoon of May 19, the office of the group company organized two lecture tours with the theme of "Love your post and be a good employee". The leaders of the group company and about 230 employees from all units attended the speech. Seven contestants attended the lecture, namely: Xing from the group company, Qiao from Jinlong Mining, Wang Xiaofeng from Jinhai Construction Engineering, Yuan, Jiang Shouli and Guo from Jinhai Building.

Spokesmen from grass-roots departments have accumulated rich work experience and character materials in ordinary practical work, and combined the ideological experience of "loving their posts and being an excellent employee" with practical work. They eulogized and praised those Jinhai employees who love their jobs, are loyal to their duties, have the courage to contribute, and have made outstanding contributions to Jinhai Group. Their speeches are closely related to the theme, sincere, sincere, just right, youthful and energetic, and full of the times. The lecturers' wonderful speeches attracted warm applause from the audience from time to time.

Through this lecture tour, we not only learned many unknown ordinary stories and unknown dedication of front-line employees in their daily work, but also made employees more aware of their own life value. The employees of the company have a new understanding of "excellent employees" ideologically, which inspires the fighting spirit of all employees to be "excellent employees who love their posts and are dedicated to their work", and makes the corporate culture atmosphere of "loving their posts with honor and neglecting their duties with shame" spread among employees. Xing, a group company, delivered a speech entitled "Being a caring and dedicated employee", which was published in 1992. 62 won the first prize, and Wang Xianzhong of Jinlong Mining won 89 for his speech "Let Youth Burn under the Horizon". 17 won the second prize, and Jinhai Construction Engineering Wang Xiaofeng gave a speech on "You have excellent employees there" with 89. 07 points won the third prize, Jiang Shouli, Yuan, Guo and Qiao won the Excellence Award.

The development of this lecture tour not only further established a good atmosphere of "loving their jobs and striving to be excellent employees" among employees, but also tested the training situation and training effect of employees in enterprises. During this activity, all enterprises can actively complete all the work according to the requirements of the group company. First, each enterprise organizes internal lectures, and recommends outstanding employees to participate in the lecture tour organized by the group company. Because the selected contestants are excellent, the effect of this speech activity is very remarkable.

Through the speech activities, we also found some problems existing in the previous employee training process, such as: the training did not go as planned, the training went through the motions, and the form was emphasized over the content. In the process of employee training in the future, on the basis of summing up experience, we should further do a good job in employee training so as to make better achievements in employee training and lay a good cultural foundation for enterprise development.
