希望之星英语小学组1号选手冯予：演讲稿

　　三、比赛演讲稿

　　My hometown

　　Emily Feng

　　When I was a child, I didn’t have any idea of my hometown. I didn’t know where it was or what it looked like. My grandpa told me that my hometown was in Nan Hai, Guangdong Province, since my ancestors were born there. However, my father also told me that Guangzhou was my hometown because he was born in Guangzhou and so was I. I have been wondering whom I should believe.

　　When I was 8 years old, as a member of the Guang Zhou Callan Glee Club, we traveled to five European countries on tour. At every performance, a ballad entitled “Morning Tea” always made an impression and excited the audiences. Cantonese people are fastidious about their food. For example, Cantonese Dim Sum stresses the combination of color, fragrance and taste. Through this ballad, people got to know about a variety of local Guangzhou snack, such as Cha Shao Bao, Shao Mai, Shrimp Dumpling, etc. At the end of this ballad, we would give a comfortable belch, which made people smile and feel satisfied and relaxed. It seemed that they were drinking morning tea and tasting Dim Sum while they listen to the music. At that time, the press described us as angels who were spreading Guangzhou Culture. It was the first time that I realized I am a Cantonese.

　　When I was 10 years old, on behalf of Guangzhou teenagers, I went to Canada to take park in a summer camp, called the Children’s International Summer Village, where 48 children from 12 countries lived together at a middle school for 1 month. There was a very fun activity in which children from each country would have their own national day when they would introduce their country. On Chinese Day, our team leader and we four Cantonese children racked our brains to cook one of Canton’s snacks. Although none of us had any experience in doing it, the food we cooked was finished incredibly fast. We were surrounded with a trail of questions: “What is it?” “Is it magic?” “Could we have another taste?” We answered that it was Guangzhou-style noodles, one of the famous Cantonese snack, which represented Guangzhou culture.

　　Last summer, one of the CISV members, a 15-years-old Swedish girl came to China to visit my family and lived with us for half a month. I took her to visit my former kindergarten, my school, the Glee Club, the playground, the amusement park, and my relatives’ and my friend’s homes. We also went to Bai Yun Mountain with its amazing views, the Chen Clan Temple with its ancient sense of mystery, the Six-Banyan Temple with its long history, and the peaceful and lovely Dong Hu Park that can be seen from my bedroom window. The Guangzhou-style opera also made a deep impression on her. When she was leaving Guangzhou, she said to me with sincerity, “Emily, thanks for your hospitality. Guangzhou is a very beautiful city and I will never forget it. I can also feel that you love your hometown very much.” At that moment, I was aware that Guangzhou is my hometown.

　　When I learned that I was coming here, I really wanted to talk about Guangzhou because I feel like I am Guangzhou’s little mayor and that I should let everyone know about it and invite you all to visit.

　　I like the peaceful environment and the delicious food in Guangzhou. It is where I have lived for 12 years with my parents, my good friends, and my teachers who have supported me. I am a Cantonese who likes Guangzhou very much.

　　Now, I not only understand the meaning of hometown, but I also know for sure that Guangzhou is my hometown.

　　I love my hometown. I love Guangzhou.

　　广州，我的家乡

　　在我小的时候，我不明白什么叫家乡，也不知道我的家乡在哪里，爷爷告诉我，我的家乡在广东省的南海，因为我爷爷的爷爷就在那里出生。但我爸爸却告诉我，我的家乡在广州，因为爸爸生在广州，我也生在广州，长在广州，我一直搞不清他们谁对谁错。

　　在我八岁那年，随广州少年宫合唱团到西欧五国演出，每一场的演出都要唱一个保留节目，就是《早茶谣》，

歌词中数尽了在广州饮早茶的茶式：好像叉烧包、烧卖、虾饺、牛柏叶、再加上最后一句吃饱后打嗝声，成为全场的经典曲目，场下的观众伴随着翻译了的歌曲，兴奋不已，就好像真的是一边听音乐一边就能尝到广州的

美食。当时的报纸都称我们合唱团是传播广州文化的天使，那一次，我第一次感到自己是广州人。

　　到了十岁，我代表广州,参加一个名为CISV的国际儿童夏令营，12个国家48个孩子在加拿大一个中学校园里共同生活了一个月，其中有一天是中国日，领队老师和我们四个广州的孩子挖空心思，笨手笨脚地炮制了一顿广州拉肠，虽然我们是最差最差的厨师，但拉肠很快就被抢掠一空，很多朋友吃完了还不停地问我们这是什么，用什么魔法变出来的，还有吗？我们都开怀大笑的说“这就是广州的拉肠”。那一天，我们真的很兴奋，因为不但让12个国家的朋友知道了中国，更让他们知道中国里有一个有好东西吃的广州！我第一次感到自己是广州人的骄傲！

　　去年夏天，CISV成员全球互访，一位瑞典15岁的姐姐到我们家住了半个月，我带她去了我的幼儿园、我的学校、我的合唱团、我常去的运动场、游乐场，还有我亲戚、老师家，还带她去了白云山、陈家祠、六榕塔，还有每天我坐在书桌前都能看到的东湖公园，瑞典姐姐离开广州前曾对我说：“你真喜欢广州啊”，那一刻我才知道我是那么熟悉养我12年的广州，那里有我的父母、有我的好朋友、有扶着我长大的老师，还有熟悉的环境，让我离不开美食，我第一次感到自己是喜欢广州的广州人了。

　　20号，我是参加了广州小市长竞选后乘最晚一班飞机赶到北京的，当我得知有机会代表广东小学生来北京参赛时，我就特别想讲一讲广州，因为我是广州小市长的候选人，就应该亲口对今天认识的所有新朋友说：多来广州看看，每次都会有新发现。

　　现在，我已经明白什么叫家乡，也特别肯定地知道我的家乡在广州，我爱我的家乡，我爱广州！
