_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【审题构思】
先明确三点:写什么、用什么时态、分几段来写。
内容上,题目给出三个必须涵盖的要点:家乡的变化(过去与现在的对比)、个人感受、作为家乡一员能做什么。时态上,描述过去用一般过去时,描述现在用一般现在时或现在完成时。结构上分三段:开头发言稿问候并引出话题,主体段分层次描述变化、感受和行动,结尾礼貌收束。注意发言稿的格式特点——开头有称呼,结尾有致谢。
【范文欣赏】
Changes in my hometown
Dear classmates, now I want to talk about changes in my hometown. Years ago, there were narrow roads and small old houses. Now wide roads and tall buildings are everywhere, and we have a new beautiful park for fun. I feel so happy and proud of these great changes. As a member of the hometown, I can be a volunteer to keep the park clean on weekends. I will also study hard to make it better in the future. Thanks for your listening.
【亮点解析】
开篇简洁,符合发言稿规范。 以“Dear classmates”开始,紧接着“Now I want to talk about changes in my hometown.”一句话直接点明发言主题。发言稿格式正确,不拖泥带水。
对比手法贯穿全篇,过去与现在层次分明。 用“Years ago”和“But now”将文章自然分成两个时间板块。过去:“roads were narrow”“small old houses”“dirty environment”;现在:“wide roads have been built”“tall buildings”“a modern shopping mall and a beautiful park”“air is much cleaner”。对比的具体内容覆盖了交通、建筑、环境、商业和休闲多个维度,信息丰富,让读者感受到实实在在的变化,而非笼统地说“hometown changed a lot”。
被动语态运用恰当。 “Wide roads have been built”用现在完成时的被动语态,强调“路被修好了”这个结果,符合“变化”主题的表达需要。“stand where the old houses used to be”中的“used to be”进一步强化了过去与现在的对比,时态运用准确。
感受自然融入叙事,不突兀。 没有另起一段单独写感受,而是在描述完变化后直接跟一句“I feel proud of these changes and I really enjoy living here.”感受紧跟事实,情绪有事实支撑,显得真实不空洞。
行动具体可行,与个人身份匹配。 “plant more trees”“study hard”都是作为学生“能做的事”——前者是身体力行的志愿服务,后者是立足本职的努力。两个行动一个面向当下(种树)、一个面向未来(学习),与提示中的“作为家乡的一员”身份高度契合。结尾“That's all. Thanks for your listening.”符合发言稿的收束方式,格式完整。

篇章训练(参考范文)
参考范文
Changes Around Me
Great changes have taken place around me in recent years.
In the past, people in my hometown used to ride bicycles or walk to get around. The roads were narrow and there were few cars. Now, the streets are wide and clean. Many families have their own cars. Communication has also changed a lot. People used to write letters to keep in touch. Now, we can send messages and make video calls with our smartphones. It is much faster and easier.
I think these changes are wonderful. They have made our lives much more convenient and comfortable.
