Honorable judges ,ladies and gentlemen:
Good afternoon. I am glad to be here for this speech contest. First let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Huiting.I am, from Jiangmen and 20 now. I am major in Human Resource Management .I am a extrovert.In my spare time, I prefer to stay alone rather than go out with my friends. In the weekend, I always kill time by reading, watching movies and listening to music. Although my favorite singer is P!nk and NichoIas Sparks’ book takes most room of my bookshelf, it doesn’t mean that I don’t read or listen or watch others’ wroks.Because from my view, in order to broaden my horizon is to know different kinds of works.
自我介绍：
中午好.我很高兴在这里演讲比赛。首先让我介绍一下我自己。我的名字是陈慧婷。我来自江门，我现在20了。我是人力资源管理专业。我是一个性格外向的人，但在我的业余时间，我喜欢一个人独处而不是和我的朋友出去。在周末，我经常看书，听音乐和看电影来打发时间。虽然我最喜欢的歌手是P！NK，而尼古拉斯·斯帕克斯书占了我书架上绝大部分的空间，但是这并不意味着我不读或听或看别人的作品。因为在我看来，涉猎不同的作品可以开拓我的视野。
It my great honor to stand here and discuss, when Socrates meets Confucius with everyone here. As we often say, Socrates was Confucius of the west and vice versa.It totally shows the connection of this tow great educators.Therefore,today ,I want to compare Socrates with Confucius from the perspective of education.
First of all ,I would love to talk about their philosophy of education. Although Socrates was Greek and Confucius was Chinese ,they were both living in the age when the society had had a rigid a caste system. What surprises me most is that they shared the same idea in education——no people left behind ,which is said by Confucius. At that time ,only the royal and the rich can go to school and accept education. However, not only they have argued against this phenomenon, but also they treated everyone equally. Therefore,they have tried their best to make everyone receive education.That’s why Socrates answered the question from the poor and Confucius traveled around China to spread his thought.
Although they possessed the same education philosophy, it doesn’t mean that there is no difference in education between Socrates and Confucius, for example, education mode.In my opinion, Confucius requested people to believe while Socrates inspired people to think. From the perspecitive of Confucius,he preferred to transfer his knowledge to students, so he was not happy to see if students against him.Even if he prompted the students, what he did was intended to find methods to make them understand better. On the contrary, Socrates never taught the students the ready-made answers but too dispute, cross-examine and so on to force students to think or rethink on their own, and finally find the answer to the question.The Socrates mode is more to cultivate students’own reasoning ability and selfawareness.
Of course, the above comparison between Confucius and Socrates is just my personal opinion. But I believe that a fantastic spark will definitely be created when Socrates meet Confucius, face to face. That’ s all, thank you guys for listening.
三分钟演讲：
我很荣幸可以站在这里和大家谈论当苏格拉底与孔子。我们常说，苏格拉底是西方的孔子，反之亦然。它完全显示了这两个伟大的教育家的联系。因此，今天，我想比较一下苏格拉底与孔子的教育观。
首先，我想谈谈他们的教育观念。尽管苏格拉底是希腊人和孔子是中国人，他们都生活在一个社会有严格的等级制度的时代。最让我惊讶的是，他们拥有相同的理念在教育——有教无类，这是孔子说的。在那个时候，只有皇室和有钱人可以去学校接受教育。然而，他们不仅
