文本分析:
【What】该文本是一篇典型的演讲稿,主题是宣讲我国对其他国家的援助。演讲稿以学生的视角,讲述了一位医生母亲作为我国政府派驻非洲坦桑尼亚医疗队的一员,开展志愿服务工作的经历。
【Why】本模块以共建人类命运共同体为时代背景,以我国对非洲国家的医疗援助为事例,用同龄人的演讲展现中国方案和中国力量,引导学生立足中国、放眼世界,树立正确的世界观、人生观和价值观。
【How】在文本结构上,演讲者首先以大家熟悉的援助事例开篇,并用一个设问抛出演讲者对援助工作的价值的思考;然后,再从个人的角度展现自己从一开始的不理解到后来的完全认同并引以为傲的心路历程,穿插叙述了自己的母亲在非洲当地所作的贡献,真实地反映了中国进行国际援助的作用和意义;最后,从共建人类命运共同体的高度坚定了自己未来投身国际援助事业的决心,并提出倡议,号召更多的人加入国际志愿者的行列。文本使用设问等写作手法,并运用语篇标识词连接句子、构成语篇,体现了文本较强的逻辑性,增强了演讲的说服力。

Dear fellow students,
I'm Li Hua, the president of Volunteer Association. It's my great honour to have the opportunity to share with you my opinions on volunteer service.
In my view, volunteering can maintain mental and physical health for a volunteer. An individual who volunteers may see a rise in their confidence because helping others can provide a sense of achievement. What's more, while volunteering,we are likely to move a lot, which means that we are gettingexcrcise, Additionally, no one can deny the fact that the volunteering enables us to learn how to work well in a team, improving our interpersonal and organisational skills.
In the future, I sincerely hope that an increasing number of students can join us to be a volunteer, feeling the happiness and satisfaction of helping others.
Thank you for your listening!

活动七:想象与创造
Invite a student to share his or her work. Have other students make some comments on it. If possible, let some students try to polish it.
Suggested answer:
My dear fellows,
What is the No. 1 problem in the world today? War? Maybe. Pollution? Kind of. While these are problems, there is another problem that many people don't know about, which affects about 1.2 billion people now, and 500 million people are approaching this situation. And what is it? A lack of water!
I had no idea about this problem myself, until my father volunteered to go to Ghana to dig wells. At first, I was a little upset and worried about his trip.After
all, he would be gone for up to two years! Then I began to study up on this issue,and I learnt that what my father did was right. It is thought that as many as 300million people in Africa are affected by water shortages. Due to the lack of water,farms can not produce enough food and many people go hungry. Since water is scarce, even though the water is harmful, people go ahead and drink the water,which makes them sick.
In addition, people may have to walk many kilometres a day to get enough water for their daily use. The task of getting water usually falls to the female.Women end up not having enough time to work, and girls do not have time to go to school.
Can you imagine what a difference it will make to people there just to have a new well? Suddenly, they have all the clean water they need within easy walking distance. They can use this to grow crops, to drink, and to cook with. Now women have time to work and earn extra money for their families, and girls can go to school. When I think about what a.difference my father is making to them, my chest swells with pride. Yes, my father did that! He helped those people!
My father is an inspiration to me. I now want to make a difference to this world. It might be here in China, or somewhere else. Would you like to join me?
Thank you for your listening!
