篇一:英语演讲稿3分钟TED
我知道你们在想什么,你们觉得我迷路了,马上就会有人走上台温和地把我带回我的座
位上。(掌声)。我在迪拜总会遇上这种事。“来这里度假的吗,亲爱的?”(笑声)“来探望孩
子的吗?这次要待多久呢?恩,事实上,我希望能再待久一点。我在波斯湾这边生活和教书已经超过30年了。(掌
声)这段时间里,我看到了很多变化。现在这份数据是挺吓人的,而我今天要和你们说的是
有关语言的消失和英语的全球化。我想和你们谈谈我的朋友,她在阿布达比教***英语。在
一个晴朗的日子里,她决定带她的学生到花园去教他们一些大自然的词汇。但最后却变成是
她在学****所有当地植物在阿拉伯语中是怎么说的。还有这些植物是如何被用作药材,化妆品,
烹饪,香草。这些学生是怎么得到这些知识的呢?当然是从他们的祖父母,甚至曾祖父母那

老师,在科威特的国立学校任教。我们被派到那里教英语,是因为当地政府希望国家可以现
代化并透过教育提升公民的水平。当然,英国也能得到些好处,产油国可是很有钱的。 okay. now this is the major change that ive seen -- how teaching english has
morphed from being a mutuallyenglish-speaking nation on earth. and why not after all, the best education --
according to the latest world university rankings -- is to be found in the universities
of the and the so everybody wants to have an english education, naturally.
but if youre not a native speaker, you have to pass a ,我见过最大的改变,就是英语教学的蜕变如何从一个互惠互利的行为变成今
