本周五在头马进行了P2-stage1演讲，继续长征之旅。做回顾总结如下：
准备阶段：
这次比上次拖延，提前3天写好的稿子并交给GE-Marvin，M没有提改进措施，而是问了自己演讲的目的和主要想提升的技能，我希望M把所有缺点都指出来，M建议抓住一个痛点就好，根据上次P1的视频回顾，我把提升的关键点定为表达流利；
倒数第二天和第一天开始背稿子，计时间，因为怕大家不了解讲稿中的书名，打印了讲稿中书封面或者重要人物，还有vegetable本文含义作为visual aid。
进行阶段：
在发现场地布局有了变动后，心里的紧张感加剧了。不在熟悉的地方的确会带来陌生感，也许这就是为什么大家推荐演讲前要熟悉演讲场地的原因；
用时6'17''，在看到Timer-Tom举黄牌子后，过了17s终止，时间OK。
反思阶段：
Self-reflection:
（等待回放视频中）
Advice from others:
GE-Marvin:M给我的感觉是非常专业，比如演讲前咨询自己演讲的目标，到场地后还主动问些问题，演讲结束提供了evaluation form和详尽的点评:
主要优点是准备充分，做了很多工作；
缺点也是很明显的：忽视观众，自说自话像背稿子一样，不能带动观众的情绪，我看到评论纸背面写了“make yourself high, make audience high”，我的最大问题。
Ah-counter-Cindy: a,an, and等缀词用的比较多，连贯性欠缺
Timer-Tom：感谢Tom的准确计时，这次和上次都有帮忙记录时间。
Acknowledgement:
感谢Razor录下了演讲的整个过程的视频，并发送给我，这样方便自己进行评价，作为mentor一如既往的关心我的情绪和进阶计划；
感谢Marvin详尽的点评和解释，feel free然后pay attention to audience的确是最应该提高的地方，展示自己的想法，appear comfortable，感觉头马里这些小朋友们都好出色，向大家学习。
附：演讲全文
7 years mean a lifetime
Good evening,everyone. At the beginning of the speech, could you please recall what is your deepestfear when you were in Junior High? Failed exams? Parents’ blame? Pretty boys’ apathy?While for me, all these together could not compare the fear of death.
Well, it is not a storyof some near-death experience, but an after-effect of watching TV series. Inthe last episode, the hero turned out to be a vegetable in order to save theheroine, and being waited for coming around since then. It was an open-end, Idid not know when the hero could regain consciousness. Tomorrow? The day after tomorrow?Next month? Next year? Or never. It definitely scared me when I think ofmyself. I would be an old woman one day and finally pass away, resembling avegetable, feeling nothing, knowing nothing and could never wake up again. Atthe thought of this inevitable doom, I could not resist to crying.
After all, I was astudent, having homework to do and exams to pass. So this fear buried in my heartand only appeared occasionally. I know what I had done was to escape the fear, ratherthan face it frankly. Then I asked myself how to conquer this fear.
First I turned to Chuangtse,who regarded himself as a combination of atoms when alive, and separated atomswhen dead. He did not fear death and died peacefully. Because for him, death seemedchange nothing. He belonged to nature and nature was himself. You know it wassomething like the law of conservation of mass, while after one hundred years, ifthe situation that I might turn out to be soil, or something disgustingoccurred to me, I would felt sad again, without any doubt.
Then I read anotherwell-known book “the selfish Gene”, the auther, Richard told me that what humansdeliveried and passed on to was merely gene. In other words, we served as justcarriors for our genes and it was gene that really be preserved. Biologically,I agreed with this idea, while emotionally, it left an indefinable longing andregret in heart as well.
At last by chance,I read of the sentence “7 years mean a lifetime”, whose auther told me that wecould divide our lives into many “7 years”, planning our every lifetime to makeit means more than before. When we are stepping into another “7 years”, we mustbe grateful and energetic for the chance to reborn, and when we are at the endof every “7 years”, a sense of being-towards-death was more likely to push usto persue that really matters, that we may never done before and never wouldagain.
When I comprehend“7 years mean a lifetime”, I came to know that death is not only the biggestregret in life, but the biggest fair as well. No matter what your identity is, suchas an empire, a general, a thief or a beggar, our time on earth is nothing buta tiny fraction within the cosmos, like a drop of water dripping into the seathis second here and the next second: nowhere. Please remember, however, everyseven years we have a chance to reborn, to be a new person. Actually as long aswe are willing to, we can be new selves every next year, even every next day.So hold fast to our lives, for the world we blesses so devoutly, the dreams wepersue so tirelessly, and the person we loves so dearly.
If you ask me atthis moment, do you fear death? Yes, I would say, while I would not cry anymore.
