Reflections on the 4th "Wanxin Cup" Classic Recitation Competition

The 4th "Wanxin Cup" Classic Reading Competition came to an end. Two students I coached were fortunate enough to participate in this competition. They watched the competition carefully and were filled with emotion.

Bian Zhilin said: "I stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are also looking at me." Watching the students recite is like watching myself. If I were on the stage, what should I pay attention to and how can I be better? Excellent, I constantly reflect on myself.

How to stand out in the recitation competition and how to stand out in the high-quality course competition is a question I have been thinking about. After this game, I summarized the following experiences.

1. Typhoon must be good

In terms of image and temperament, typhoon must be good. No matter what kind of competition it is, the first impression is very important. With a steady typhoon, a confident smile, and a tall posture, who can’t feel your energy after watching it. I think the external image should focus on four points: 1. Clothing and makeup. Clothes should be clean and tidy, showing your spiritual temperament, and should not be sloppy or baggy. In today's competition, some students did not pull up their clothes, opened their arms and rolled up their sleeves. Their clothes were too long and they were not energetic at all. On the contrary, clean clothes are a plus. Usually when our teachers participate in large-scale competitions such as quality classes, we should also pay attention to our clothes. You can wear formal attire, clean, neat and smart clothes, which can make you look good. Makeup is also necessary. Exquisite but not exaggerated makeup will not only have a good stage effect, but will also help you become more confident. 2. Posture and gestures. In today's competition, outstanding players all have one characteristic: dignified and generous posture, elegant and confident. On the other hand, those players who did not perform well were really in bad shape. They put their hands on the podium with their hands crossed. Some kept their heads lowered, while others squinted and did not make eye contact with the judges. Some students nodded too frequently, and some students made deliberate gestures no matter which sentence they recited. Deliberate, not very effective. Good posture should be looking straight ahead, doing a T-step for girls and a figure-eight for boys, keeping the chest up and the abdomen in, hands flat on the legs or crossed in front of the abdomen, smiling, and using appropriate gestures. 3. Language expression. Many students in the classic recitation competition only focused on memorizing but neglected to recite. Many students have no emotion when reciting, speak very fast, and even have unclear pronunciation and inaccurate enunciation. These will affect their scores even if they can memorize them well. Good memorization should not only focus on the results of memorization but also on the effects. No matter what your voice condition is when reciting poetry, you must speak at a moderate speed, have a loud voice, clear enunciation, full pronunciation, and full of emotion, so that you can impress the judges. The same goes for us when we compete. Our voice, speaking speed, and intonation must show confidence to the judges. We must not be nervous or panicked. Even if we pretend to be calm, it is still good. 4. Pay attention to details. Even if you don't answer at the right time, you should also pay attention to your performance while waiting. Some students touch their noses and jump their legs while waiting, and they don't pay much attention to their own image. It's inappropriate to trot all the way to the podium. No matter what is appropriate, it must be perfect as long as you are on the stage. In addition, there is another detail that must be paid attention to, and that is what the judges said. The judges repeatedly said that they should wait until the cards are shown before answering. There are still many students who force themselves, and it is a pity to lose points in vain. Another thing I want to emphasize is that one minute on stage can take ten years off stage. Only by being fully prepared can you be unafraid in the face of danger and keep your mind open.
