Good morning everyone ,befor our class,I’m going to share something about basketball ,something about NBA.

As one of millions NBA fans ,I’ve been watching NBA games for about six

years ,for ,as you know ,the NBA court is really an amazing place where miracles happen frequently.Especially when there is a buzzer beater taking place at the end of zhe game ,it’s absolutely the most excting point in the game. Do you

know how popular the NBA is in China? Look at these pictures , celebrities from different fields are watching the game in the stadium. And this picture reflects how popular it is among college students.

No one may have never heared something about Kobe ,lenbron James ,jaordan, but I believe not everyone know the origin of basketball.

Dr.James Naismith, a Canadian who was teaching at Springfield College in Massachusetts needed to come up with a game to entertain the school’s rugby and football players during the winter months.

So he grabbed a peach basket he found in the janitor’s closet of the school and hung it on a railing about ten feet from the floor.

Every time the players made a shot though, they had to take down the basket and grab the ball, which became really annoying. Dr.Naismith decided to cut a hole in the basket so the ball would go straight through without having to dig it out all the time

The sport was an instant success and the popularity of this new game quickly grew. Althoough Nasimith never saw the game develop into the spectacular game we know these days, he had the honor to witness basketball become an Olympic sport at the 1936 Games held in Berlin.

A group of team owners met on June 6, 1946, in New York to talk about a league they would name the Basketball Association of America. This meeting was the beginning of what we know today as the NBA.

NBA’s full name is National Basketball Association

And today there are 30 teams in the association .And in recent days the regular season has began.And the games are very excting .If you have any interst , you could watch them in the morning everyday.

第二篇：英语课前三分钟演讲好处多

英语课前三分钟演讲好处多

“听、说、读、写”能力训练的目的是学好知识、培养能力。它是语文课的重要任务，又是学习语文知识的完整过程。但从目前的现状来看，最被忽视的就是“说”的训练。从教师的心态来看，认为“说”会影响教学进度，而且，中考、高考又不考它，写好作文就行了。熟不知，“说”的训练正是为“写”打基础，二者是不可分的。

那么，怎样训练学生“说”的能力呢？

为了提高学生“说”的能力，我们采用了“课前三分钟演讲”。具体做法是：每堂语文课在讲授新课前按学号排，由一名学生演讲，然后根据这名同学的演讲，由学生或老师做简短的讲评。坚持由易到难的原则，开始时，站在座位上讲，后来到台上讲，从自由讲话逐渐发展为命题讲话，即兴演讲。内容可讲所闻所见所感。这样一学期经过筛选把较好的演讲稿装订成册，定题为“撷英——高一演讲集锦”，印发给学生。

“课前三分钟演讲”有哪些好处呢？

首先，它训练了学生的语言表达能力。学生在限定的时间内把准备好的内容表达出来。要求明了、轻快、准确、令人信服。通过演讲，学生内在的表达能力在教师和全体同学面前真实地外传。“三分钟演讲”使学生比较准确地了解自己表达能力。如在讲话中语言是否准确，吐字是否清楚，声音是否宏亮，节奏是否合适，声调是否恰当，表情是否自然，感情是否真实等。在讲话中，学生看到了别人，也看到了自己，讲评别人的同时，也在规范着自己。 其次，它有助于提高学生的写作能力。如果按传统的教学方法，每人每学期写作文八篇，提高学生的写作能力，效果总是不甚明显。通过“课前三分钟演讲”有助于提高学生的写作能力，因为学生要想三分钟演讲取得较好的成绩，必须演讲前要组织好材料，经过立意，构思成文，最后修改成稿。因而说的过程，也是写的过程，要想说好必须写好，不能应付，这样就能调动学生的积极性，激发学生的学习兴趣。经过一个学期的训练，学生的作文水平大有提高。

第三，“课前三分钟演讲”为进行思想教育创造了一个生动活泼的局面，开辟了一条新途径。因为学生演讲内容摄取身边所见、所闻、所感，内容丰富多彩。诸如理想抱负、人生价值、社会生活

现象、个人生活感受、班级活动、家庭关系、读书心得、理论研究、学生之间关系等，这都对学生思想有教育意义。如涓涓细流，渗入心田。

第四，“课前三分钟演讲”锻炼了学生逻辑思维。为了准备演讲，学生要选择材料和组织材料，进行认真地思考。先说什么，后说什么，怎样开头，怎样结尾，怎样提出问题，怎样进行论述，这些都要进行认识、分析、归纳、推理、判断等各种形式的思维活动。此外，“课前三分钟演讲”还能拓宽学生的知识面，培养他们敏捷的思维能力。
