万双网讯   为提高学生演讲与表达的综合能力，提升学生的中英文综合素养，让孩子站在舞台中央，2026年6月29日，万科双语学校第73期E-talk活动在学校剧场举行。两百余名师生现场聆听了演讲，活动同时面向全校师生直播。

To sharpen students’ public speaking and expressive skills, as well as elevate their overall Chinese and English literacy, and provide every child with a stage to shine, Vanke Bilingual School hosted the 73rd E-Talk themed My Dairy in the school auditorium on June 29th, 2026. Over 200 teachers and students attended the event on site, while a live stream was broadcast to the entire school community.

本次E-talk活动的主题是“我的日记”，由7E班谭凯琳和8C班赖予婕同学担任主持，来自七至八年级的8名同学用中文进行了精彩的演讲。同学们翻开各自的青春日记，分享了其中记录的点滴成长、心路感悟与生活思考。本次活动的评委由现场同学担任，大家既是聆听者，也是点评者，在相互倾听与真诚对话中，共同营造了一场温暖而富有启发的思想交流。

Hosted by Tan Kailin from Class 7E and Lai Yujie from Class 8C, the event featured eight Grade 7 and 8 student speakers delivering wonderful Chinese speeches. Opening their personal journals, the speakers shared precious stories of growth, inner reflections and insights drawn from daily life. Fellow students served as the judging panel. As both audience and commentators, they engaged in sincere dialogue, creating a warm, inspiring space for thoughtful exchange.

8E班的梁语同学在《一粒沙的故事》演讲中，以一粒沙的视角，完成了一场穿越时空的深圳叙事。从大鹏湾畔的宁静渔村，到机器轰鸣的建设工地，再到博物馆中澄澈的展柜玻璃——她借沙粒的漂泊与蜕变，见证了荒滩变新城、阡陌起高楼的壮阔历程。演讲以小见大，让一粒沙承载起城市的记忆与温度。在互动环节，有同学问道：“你认为什么是深圳精神？”梁语同学答道：“深圳精神的底色，是拼搏，是无数建设者挥洒汗水的奋斗；核心，是包容，是无数沙粒从五湖四海的汇聚；而传承，则让年轻一代接续讲述深圳故事，托举起这座城市生生不息的发展。”

Liang Yu (Class 8E): The Tale of a Grain of Sand. In her speech, she adopted the perspective of a single grain of sand to narrate Shenzhen’s journey across time. She depicted the quiet fishing villages along Dapeng Bay, the roaring construction sites of the city’s early development, and finally the clear glass display cases seen in city museums. Through the wanderings and transformation of this tiny grain of sand, she illustrated the magnificent metamorphosis of barren beaches to a modern metropolis filled with high-rises. Her speech captured its grand urban changes, letting one grain of sand carry the city’s memories and warmth. During the Q&A session, a classmate asked, “What do you believe embodies the Shenzhen Spirit?” Liang Yu replied: “The foundation of the Shenzhen Spirit is hard work — the tireless efforts of countless builders. Its core is inclusiveness, bringing people together from all corners of the country, just like grains of sand. Its legacy lies in the younger generation who keep telling Shenzhen’s story and sustaining the city’s endless progress.”

8C班林烁同学在《星海的征途，人类的赞歌》演讲中，以阿瑟·克拉克的科幻经典《2001太空漫游》为舟，驶向人类探索宇宙的终极叩问。从远古猿人触摸黑色石板学会使用工具，到发现号飞船与人工智能HAL9000的较量，再到宇航员鲍曼穿越星门化为“星孩”——他将这部“科幻圣经”的故事娓娓道来，并从中提炼出跨越时空的精神内核：人类文明每一次飞跃，都源于对“不可能”的挑战，源于不甘困于原地的勇气。演讲将科幻与航天史交织，从加加林到中国空间站，从阿姆斯特朗到朱雀火箭，展现了探索精神在现实中的延续与闪耀。现场同学问道，《2001太空漫游》与其他科幻小说最不同的一点是什么？林烁同学回答：“它最独特的地方，在于对宇宙间人类探索与勇气的深刻书写——不是技术的炫耀，而是文明面对未知时那份执着的孤勇。”

Lin Shuo (Class 8C): Voyage to the Starry Sea, Ode to Mankind. Drawing inspiration from Arthur C. Clarke’s sci-fi classic 2001: A Space Odyssey, Lin Shuo’s speech ‘Voyage to the Starry Sea, Ode to Mankind’ explored humanity’s eternal quest to explore the cosmos. He recounted pivotal scenes: such as ancient apes learning to wield tools after touching the monolith, the tense standoff between the Discovery One crew and AI HAL 9000, and the astronaut Bowman transcending the star gate to become the Star Child. Narrating this landmark “bible of science fiction,” he distilled its timeless core: every leap forward in human civilization stems from daring to challenge the “impossible” and refusing to stand still. Weaving sci-fi narratives with real aerospace history — from Yuri Gagarin and China’s space station to Neil Armstrong and the Zhuque rocket — he showcased humanity’s enduring spirit of exploration. When asked what sets 2001: A Space Odyssey apart from other sci-fi works, Lin Shuo answered: “Its uniqueness lies in its profound portrayal of human curiosity and courage amidst the universe. It never flaunts technology; instead, it captures humanity’s quiet, persistent bravery when facing the unknown.”

8G班潘光量同学在《劳动节有感》演讲中，从五一劳动节的历史起源出发，探寻“劳动最光荣”在当下的意义。他讲述了1886年芝加哥工人为争取八小时工作制而浴血抗争的往事，也直面现实中劳动者被轻视的无奈——当听到家长对孩子说“不好好学习就会像他们一样没出息”时，他心中泛起酸楚。随后，他以行动寻找答案：参加社区义工服务，弯腰清扫落叶；主动承包家务，体会妈妈日复一日的辛劳。从工地的灰尘到地铁车厢里缩在角落的工人身影，他用亲身经历告诉我们：每一份诚实劳动都值得被看见、被尊重，劳动光荣不是一句口号，而应成为深植于心的信仰。演讲最后，潘光量同学动情地说道：“劳动最光荣。”现场响起热烈的掌声。

Pan Guangliang (Class 8G): Reflections on Labor Day. Pan Guangliang’s speech ‘Reflections on Labor Day’ traced the origins of Labor Day and re-examined the modern meaning of the motto “Labor is Glorious.” He recounted the 1886 struggle of Chicago workers fighting for an eight-hour workday, and shared his distress at the casual dismissal of labor in daily life — such as hearing parents warn children that poor academic performance would condemn them to manual jobs. He sought answers through personal experience: volunteering to sweep fallen leaves in the community and taking over household chores to understand his mother’s daily toils. Observing exhausted construction workers and commuters huddled in subway carriages, he reminded the audience that every honest line of work deserves recognition and respect. “Labor is glorious” is never just a slogan, but a belief to hold deep in our hearts. His closing heartfelt declaration of “Labor is glorious!” drew thunderous applause.

7E班李明泽同学在《以少年风骨驭时代长风》演讲中，以一本青春日记为线索，记录了大梅沙帆船研学中的追风逐浪之旅。烈日、海风、摇晃的船身、冰冷的浪花——他与小组成员在PBL探究中摸索帆船构造，在波涛中拉紧绳索、稳住方向。尽管最终没有夺得名次，但战胜内心胆怯的那一刻，远比名次更珍贵。他由此感悟：少年本就该踏浪而行，成长从无坦途，一时的困顿不过是青春日记中待写的篇章。演讲以鲜活的航海体验，诠释了新时代少年迎风而立的骁勇与坚韧。现场同学提问：“在AI盛行的时代，少年应以什么心态面对高速发展？”李明泽同学回答：“当还有很多学习空间时，就多学习、多做准备。”同学追问：“航海精神在学习中如何运用？”他答道：“遇到困难时坚持，面对来自四方的压力时，保持百折不挠的精神和面对磨难不屈的意志。”

Li Mingze (Class 7E): Youthful Resolve to Ride the Winds of the Times. Centered on a sailing PBL field trip at Dameisha, Li Mingze’s speech ‘Youthful Resolve to Ride the Winds of the Times’ chronicled a journey of chasing wind and waves under the blazing sun. He and his teammates studied boat structures together, tightened ropes and steadied their vessel amid choppy waters. Though they did not win the competition, overcoming their inner fears proved far more valuable than any prize. He reflected that young people are meant to forge ahead through storms; growth never follows a smooth path, and temporary setbacks are merely unwritten pages in our youth journals. His vivid sailing anecdotes embodied the fearlessness and resilience of modern teenagers. A classmate asked: “How should young people navigate rapid technological progress in the AI era?” Li Mingze responded: “We should keep learning and preparing while there is still room to grow.” Pressed further on applying a sailing spirit to studies, he added: “Persist through hardships, and remain unyielding against pressures from all sides.”

8E班王逸琳同学在《花》演讲中，以“花”为线索，展开了一场关于生命与意义的沉思。她从六万年前尼安德特人墓葬中的花粉讲起，穿越莫奈的睡莲、梵高的向日葵、莎士比亚的玫瑰、李清照的藕香，探寻花如何从植物演变为人类情感的载体。她进而提出了“无用之用”的哲思——花不能吃、也不能用作工具，却恰恰因为这份“无用”，让它的美纯粹而自由，一如庄周笔下那棵因无用而得享长生的樗树。花的珍贵，正在于它不急于证明什么，只是安静地开放，允许被赋予万千意义，也允许只做自己。

Wang Yilin (Class 8E): Flowers. Wang Yilin’s speech Flowers used blossoms as a thread to meditate on life and its meaning. She traced the earliest presence of flower pollen in 60,000-year-old Neanderthal burial sites, then moved on to Monet’s water lilies, Van Gogh’s sunflowers, Shakespeare’s roses and the lotus fragrance depicted by Li Qingzhao. She explored how flowers evolved from simple plants into vessels for human emotion, then introduced the philosophical concept of “the utility of the useless.” Flowers cannot feed us or serve practical functions, yet this very “uselessness” lets their beauty remain pure and free — much like the ailanthus tree in Zhuangzi’s writings, spared from being cut down precisely because it served no practical purpose. Flowers are precious because they bloom quietly without needing to prove their worth, open to countless interpretations yet unapologetically themselves.

在互动环节，同学们接连提问。当被问及“无用之用的意义”时，王逸琳同学答道：“完成或追求一件事，不必执着于结果，接纳过程本身——即便结果不如意，过程中带给你的快乐和成长，就是这件事的意义。”当被问及“是人赋予了花意义，还是人使花失去了自由”时，她回答：“生命的绽放本身，就是花的意义。”当被问及“文学作品中的花在你的成长中有什么含义”时，她分享道：“生日送花、生病探望时的祝福——花是一种点亮生活的方式，让生活更加丰富。”

During Q&A, students raised multiple thought-provoking questions: Asked about the meaning of “the utility of the useless,” she said: “When pursuing something, do not fixate on results. Embrace the process itself. Even if the outcome falls short, the joy and growth gained along the way are its true value.” Asked whether humans assign meaning to flowers or strip them of freedom, she replied: “A flower’s inherent meaning is simply its own blooming.” Asked about flowers’ significance in her personal growth, she shared: “Flowers brighten everyday moments — such as gifts for birthdays and get-well wishes — they enrich our lives beautifully.”

7C班江禹铭同学在《“戒”手机，或许我们想错了》演讲中，以犀利的洞察力剖析了当代青少年沉迷手机的根本原因。他指出，手机问题并非“戒不掉”的自律失败，而是源于两个深层困境：一是没有找到比手机更有意思、更能充盈自我的爱好；二是不知道为何而学习，于是用手机消解被动与畏惧的情绪。他以自身为例，分享了从沉迷短视频到爱上拍高铁、骑行百公里的转变，并以《孙子兵法》“上兵伐谋”为喻，提出解决手机问题的关键在于战略眼光——拓宽眼界、找准方向，而非与手机“硬碰硬”。演讲既有思辨深度，又充满少年的锐气与真诚。现场同学提问：“步行三十公里有没有想过放弃？会不会很累？”江禹铭同学笑着回答：“散步和骑车是为了看风景，累并快乐着。”

Jiang Yuming (Class 7C): Rethinking Our Battle Against Cell Phones. With sharp insight, Jiang Yuming’s speech ‘Rethinking Our Battle Against Cell Phones’ analyzed the root causes of teenagers’ phone addiction. He argued the issue is not merely a failure of self-discipline, but two deeper struggles: lacking hobbies more fulfilling than scrolling screens, and feeling aimless in studying, thus relying on phones to escape anxiety and apathy. He shared his personal transformation, trading short-video binges for high-speed train photography and 100-kilometer cycling trips. Drawing on ‘The Art of War’, he stated the key to overcoming phone overuse lies in long-term vision: broadening one’s horizons and finding meaningful passions, rather than fighting phones head-on. His speech balanced philosophical depth with genuine teenage candor. When asked if he ever wanted to quit during his 30-kilometer walks, he smiled and replied: “Walking and cycling let me admire the scenery — it’s tiring, yet deeply joyful.”

7G班刘青昊同学在《藏在日记里的青春坚韧》演讲中，以一本薄薄的日记为窗，向听众敞开了一段从迷茫到坚定的成长心路。刚踏入中学时，知识难度陡增，他在日记里写满彷徨与无助；深夜孤灯下，他将委屈与纠结落笔成文。偶然翻到日记扉页上摘录的梭罗名言——“我步入丛林，因为我希望活得有意义”，这句话让他的心安静下来。此后，无论高兴还是感伤，他都认真记下最真切的碎碎心事。从“艰难困苦，玉汝于成”的自我激励，到进步后“只要脚踏实地，便是向前”的欣喜，文字像一剂良药，抚平焦躁，也见证了他从怯懦到坚韧的蜕变。现场同学提问：“详细说一次用日记平复心情的经历。”刘青昊同学分享道：“心情差的时候，把烦恼写下来本身就是一种合理的宣泄。每次写完日记，整个人都会放松许多。”他以此告诉同学们：真正的成长，是心怀胆怯仍选择迎难而上，前路漫漫依旧步履不停。

Liu Qinghao (Class 7G): Resilience Hidden in Youth Journals. Liu Qinghao’s speech ‘Resilience Hidden in Youth Journals’ opened a window into his journey from being confused to determined. Starting with entering middle school, he Qinghao recalled the steeply rising academic difficulty and filled his journal with helplessness and self-doubt; late at night, he poured all his frustration onto paper. One day, he re-read a quote from Thoreau copied on the journal’s title page: “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately,” which calmed his restless heart. From then on, he jotted down every genuine emotion, happy or sad. Self-encouragement such as “Hardship forges character” and quiet joy after small progress filled his pages. Writing became a soothing remedy, witnessing his transformation from being timid to having inner strength. When invited by a judge to share a specific time that journaling calmed his mood, he explained: “Writing down troubles is a healthy release. I always feel much lighter once I finish a journal entry.” He reminded the audience that true growth means pressing forward despite fear, and walking steadily even when the road stretches endlessly ahead.

7I班的庄暖琪同学在《友谊的真谛》演讲中，以一篇日记为镜，照见了友情最朴素也最动人的模样。她分享了初入中学时，一次数学周测失利后的低落与自卑——当密密麻麻的红叉压在心头，她埋头不愿与人交流。而同桌悄然来到身旁，没有多余的安慰，只是一遍遍拆解几何难题，陪她整理错题、巩固薄弱知识点。这份平凡却温暖的陪伴，让她读懂了友情的两层真义：顺境相伴易得，逆境相守难求；好的友情不是一起消磨时光，而是彼此督促、共同成长。演讲以真切的生活片段，诠释了“少年之交，贵在真心，贵在同行，贵在共进”的青春体悟。现场同学提问：“你认为什么是真正的友情？”庄暖琪同学回答道：“真正的友情，是在彼此生活中相互支持，一起成为更好的人，在对方低谷时陪伴他走出阴霾。”

Zhuang Nuanqi (Class 7I): The True Meaning of Friendship. Zhuang Nuanqi’s speech The True Meaning of Friendship used a journal entry to reveal the purest form of companionship. She recounted her low spirits and loss of confidence after failing a Grade 7 math quiz, hiding away from her classmates after seeing pages of red correction marks. Her deskmate quietly sat beside her, offering not empty words of comfort, but patiently breaking down geometry problems, sorting out errors and reinforcing weak knowledge points with her. This quiet, warm companionship taught her two truths about friendship: it is easy to share good times, but hard to stand by each other through hardship. True friendship is not an idle pastime, but mutual motivation and joint progress. Her sincere daily anecdotes captured the belief that teenage friendship hinges on sincerity, companionship and shared growth. When asked what defines genuine friendship, she answered: “True friends support one another, push each other to become better versions of ourselves, and stay beside each other to walk through dark days.”

活动尾声，所有演讲者上台领取纪念证书并合影留念。八位演讲者从沙粒、科幻、劳动、航海、花、手机、日记等不同维度，为“我的日记”注入了丰沛而独特的注解——有人借一粒沙书写城市的变迁，有人以科幻之眼仰望星海的征途，有人用劳动汗水丈量生活的重量，有人于风浪中磨砺少年的风骨。他们用真诚的分享证明：日记从来不只是文字的堆叠，而是每个人在生活与思考中，用热爱、坚持与勇气构筑的心灵栖所。第73期E-talk在掌声与感动中圆满落幕，而关于成长的故事，仍在少年们的日记中继续书写。

Closing of the Event. All eight speakers took to the stage to receive commemorative certificates and pose for a group photo at the end of the activity. Through lenses ranging from grains of sand and sci-fi to labor, sailing, flowers, digital devices and personal journals, the students offered rich, unique interpretations of the theme “My Diary.” Some captured urban evolution through tiny natural objects; some gazed at the stars with thoughts of science fiction; some measured life’s weight with the sweat of labor; others forged youthful resolve amidst turmoil. Their heartfelt sharing proved that journals are far more than collections of words — they are spiritual sanctuaries built through passion, perseverance and courage amid daily life and constant reflection. The 73rd E-Talk concluded amid warm applause and touching moments, yet the stories of youth continue to be written in every student’s private diary.
