Today I’m going totalk about discover yourself.
Ever since theaccelerated development of human civilization, perpetual scientificdiscovery of nature had companied mankind all along the journey. Itwas by discovering the world around us that human beings have beenable to live a more sophisticated life. However, as G.K. Chestertononce said “one may understand the cosmos, but never the ego, theself is more distant than any star. Thus, a life is a journey ofunrelenting offers to discover more ofourselves.
When I was six, Iconsquently picture myself as an elegant and skilled pianist,rendering Xiao Bang’s nocturnal beautifully on the stage, receivingwarm applause after my performance. However, as I further my pianolessons, it was hard to be oblivious of my non-gifted skills.Sometimes I couldn’t help but have this feeling of despair, when Iwoke up to the reality and discover that my goal was unrealistic.Brutal but real. It was the first time; I had discovered that Icouldn’t have at all, when I was twelve. I thought the coolest jobin the entire universe was to be a surgeon. I spent hours and hourswatching the drama Grey's Anatomy and couldn’t help falling in lovewith the kind of live those doctors lead on the screen. I wasutterly mesmerized by the scalpel and all those fancy medical termsthat use.
However, I stoped todream about being a surgeon when I discovered that it was the ideaof being a surgeon that appealed to me, not what it truly was. As aresult, the dream ended and I discovered some more about myself.This year, I turned sixteen and I could proudly say I do not dreamto be, but ascertain to peruse being a lower in the future. Sincejunior high school I had always been awarded the most eloquentdebater in every single debater participated in. I can not onlythink logically, but also deliver my thought promptly. My hugeinterest in philosophy also acts my reason in whenever I tried toargue with something equivocal. Being aware of the obstacles andthe hardships on the way of becoming a great lawyer never panicsme, for the simple reason that I have this faith and passion inwhat I am aspiring after. G.K. Chesterton was absolutely correct;the most complicated part of comprehending the world is the studyof the somehow smaller world,ourselves.
I subsequently realizethat growing up is a process of discovering ourselves. We get toknow what we truly are and become who we dream to be. As we shapeourselves and as we shape of our lives. We gradually become moreaware of our limits and potentials, and consequently learn toadjust what’s out there, and by that ladies and gentlemen I’m proudto say that I have discovered part of myself, sue to discoveringtoday and definitely a lot more in the future. I would always keepthis embedded in my heart.
Things do not change,wedo!

由于网络上没有演讲稿，所以自己花了半天的时间根据录音把讲稿还原出来，得益于网友们的帮助，这篇演讲稿终于还原完成了。
昨天下午看天天向上的时候，突然发现17岁的诸康妮英文水平甚好（诸康妮为天天向上做翻译），一口美语十分流利、地道。之后便在网上查了一些资料，看到了这篇演讲，第一遍就立马被震慑住了。她的美语发音标准、吐字清晰，连略读以及节奏掌握得如鱼得水，要是不看录像，还以为是美国人在演讲呢！一种仰慕之情油然而生啊！
想研究一下这篇演讲，但是搜遍整个网络都一无所获，于是产生了自己整理出来的想法，经过一个早上的整理，终于在不顾肚子咕咕叫的情形下基本完成了。
文章从立意来说倒不是很特别，毕竟题目已经钉死在了discoveryourself上了，但是让人印象比较深刻的是作者比较严谨的逻辑思维，正文有一条清晰的主线，围绕discovering来写，扣题紧密而且逻辑上不断地递进！最后升华！
从语言学的角度来说，这篇文章用词丰富，长词难词运用的频率很高，句式上来讲文章的第二段可谓是排山倒海之势，并列句，强调句，引经据典一概奉上，让人第一印象感觉气势非凡，充分展示自己的才华！
个人感觉她演讲最精彩的部分不是演讲的部分，而是提问部分，因为那才是真实实力的体现，她的思辨能力和反应能力征服了在场的所有人，以此总总，决定了她必定会坐上冠军宝座...
