具有亲和力的崔东花老师不仅台风稳健，高度的责任心和高效的执行力更加令人钦佩。她在工作中善于思考，每周重点关注一个常规工作的项目，分层管理，对于习惯不好的学生约定小目标。完成了小目标就及时给予表扬，使其逐渐跟上整体的步伐。她认为责任心就是从小事做起，把每一件简单的事做好就是不简单，把每一件平凡的事做好就是不平凡。

Ms Cui Donghua impressed everyone by her execution and sense of responsibility. She was good at thinking while carrying out her work and focused on one regular task every week before setting targets which were easy to accomplish with students. She would compliment them once they had achieved their targets to catch up with others. She believed that responsibility came from doing every single trivial task well.

As a trustworthy and magnanimous guardian who solved students issues in school life, she was able to form strong bonds with all students. Every teacher was moved by her bittersweet job experience.

应届大学毕业生李明怡老师，步入社会的第一份工作，就是面对24个性格迥异、刚刚进入小学的孩子。她迎难而上，用耐心细致、专注认真的责任心落实工作中的每一个细节，在磨炼中快速成长。

Managing 24 new Primary One pupils with different characters could be challenging for someone who had her first job right after graduation, Ms Li Mingyi had paid attention to every detail in her job scope and quickly developed her skills.

演讲结束后，黄雅娟主管对参赛选手们的出色表现给予了充分肯定，对需要改进之处给出了中肯的建议，并希望大家以这次演讲比赛为契机，以此为镜，反躬自省，并以提问的方式让大家明确了生活老师的责任心应体现在哪些方面？

After the speeches, Ms Huang commended speakers' performance and gave them suggestions for their rooms of improvement. She sincerely hoped every teacher would reflect on their work and think on where the responsibility of life teachers should be reflected by.

吴雅卉老师的回答条理分明、切中要点：生活老师的责任心首先体现在严格遵守学校、部门的各项规章制度，将本职工作落到细节，做到极致。吕静老师给出简明扼要的补充：责任心还体现在牢固树立团队合作精神，无私奉献，不计得失，齐心协力，互补互助，共同完成各项工作。

Ms Wu Yahui gave a clear answer that went straight to the point - life teachers ought to follow the rules and do their best in every task. Ms Lyu Jing added on - dedication, teamwork, mutual assistance and joint completion of work.

黄主管继续指引大家思考：作为一名生活老师，执行力又体现在哪些方面？对于个人和团队而言，执行力分别代表什么？

Ms Huang posed a similar question on execution - in what way would execution be reflected upon at both personal and group level?

李岳林老师认为：对于个人而言，执行力就是办事能力；对于团队而言，执行力就是战斗力和凝聚力。 作为一名生活老师，执行力体现在：完成每一项工作时，必须摒弃惰性，不拖延，不敷衍，自觉贯彻执行。更重要的是，加强过程控制，必须落实、跟进、记录和反复强调。不但要抓重点，更要抓细节，要用心、尽力将细节落实到位。

Ms Li Yuelin believed that execution was about getting tasks done on both personal and group level, with an additional team bonding. As a life teacher, execution would be reflected upon finishing each task without procrastination. More importantly, teachers had to focus on the process, follow-ups and reiterations. Details also mattered even more besides getting the key component of the task.

最后，黄主管勉励生活老师们：无论工作，还是生活，都应全力以赴，追求进步，寻求突破，终身学习。在辛勤付出中获得成长、在努力奋斗中完成蜕变，成为更好的自己。

Finally, Ms Huang encouraged fellow teachers to do their best and make breakthrough in both of their work and life so that they could be a better self.

这次演讲比赛的成功举办，为生活部的老师们搭建了一个展现风采的舞台，加强了相互沟通和交流，弘扬了敬业奉献精神，极大地增强了这个优秀团队的凝聚力和向心力。

This speech contest provided an opportunity for teachers in Life Teacher Department to demonstrate their work ethics, forge stronger bonds so that the whole department could be a more united and effective team.
