§課文原文 Passage
1Good afternoon, Principal, teachers and fellow students. Today I would like to talk about why every teenager should try volunteering. Some of you may think volunteering means giving up your precious free time. I used to think so too — until one summer changed my mind. My talk will take about five minutes, and I hope to change at least one mind.
2Last summer, I joined a service project visiting elderly people living alone in Sham Shui Po. At first, I simply helped with chores and read newspapers aloud. One afternoon, an old man called Uncle Ho asked me to sit down and just listen. He told me stories about the old harbour, his late wife and his favourite wonton shop. His eyes lit up whenever I asked another question. Soon, however, I realised that what they needed most was someone to listen. Volunteering is not about charity; it is about connection. I still visit him every month, and he calls me his grandson.
3Through service, we step outside our small world of exams and grades. We also develop empathy, communication skills and gratitude — qualities no textbook can teach. Research even shows that helping others lowers stress and makes us happier. Volunteering also looks good on your resume and university applications.
4I therefore encourage each of you to give just two hours a month. You do not need special skills, only an open heart and two hours. Join a flag-selling day, visit an elderly home, or teach a child to read. A small act of kindness can brighten two lives: theirs and ours. Thank you.

3逐步講解 Steps
- 開場演講開場的考點是稱呼齊全與破題迅速。方法是以 Good afternoon, Principal, teachers and fellow students 完整問候，隨後一句點明題目；高階寫法是先講出反方想法，例如 Some of you may think volunteering means giving up your precious free time，再予以回應。易錯之處是學生稱呼漏掉一個職銜即被扣格式分，或開場繞圈子不講主題；先立靶再拆解，是演講開場的標準策略，亦能即時拉近與聽眾的距離。
- 主體演講主體的考點是一段一論點，而最好的論點是一個完整故事。方法以人物、情境、轉折三要素講故事。以範文為例：深水埗探訪獨居長者，何伯請作者坐下來聽，聽他講舊港口、亡妻與雲吞麵舖，一個好故事勝過三個大道理。易錯之處是學生羅列論點而無故事，聽眾無從記住；演講是聽覺媒介，故事自帶畫面與情感，是說服力的第一載體，考前宜備一個親身經歷，任何話題都能接得上。
- 呼籲呼籲的考點是具體可執行。方法按三問設計：做多少、做什麼、如何開始。以範文為例：two hours a month 回答份量，join a flag-selling day, visit an elderly home, teach a child to read 回答內容，You do not need special skills, only an open heart 回答門檻，聽眾離場時清楚知道自己可以做什麼。易錯之處是學生呼籲空泛，例如希望大家多參與；呼籲有了數字與具體項目，才有行動召喚力，聽眾聽完便知道第一步如何踏出。
- 結尾演講結尾的考點是致謝與金句。方法是 Thank you 必不可少，金句放在致謝之前。以範文為例：A small act of kindness can brighten two lives: theirs and ours，一句話講完義工的雙向價值，受助者與施助者同樣受惠，餘音可延續到演講之後。易錯之處是學生講完呼籲便匆匆道謝下台，浪費最後的記憶點；金句須與主題嚴密相扣，寧可平實貼題，不可華麗離題，最後一句是聽眾帶走的那一句，值得反覆打磨。
- 故事提煉故事之後必須提煉論點，考點是敘事與議論的接駁。方法是在故事高潮後用一句話點明意義。以範文為例：Volunteering is not about charity; it is about connection，義工的價值在於連結而非施捨，一句金句把何伯的故事升華為普遍論點。易錯之處是學生講完故事便轉下一題，聽眾只記得故事卻帶不走論點；故事的任務是服務論點，提煉一句，聽眾才會記得你要說什麼，故事與論點之間的橋樑就是這一句話。
- 口語化演講語言的考點是口語風格。方法是用 we、you、Let us 等直接稱呼，句子短促易聽，書面語連接詞如 moreover、nevertheless 須克制使用。以範文為例，全文以短句推進，聽眾即聽即懂，無須回讀。易錯之處是學生把書面文章照讀，長句與被動式令聽眾跟不上；演講是寫給耳朵的，寫完應大聲讀一次，讀來拗口之處便是須要修改之處，這是最實用的檢驗方法，耳朵比眼睛更誠實。
- 感性加理性說服結構的考點是感性與理性並用。方法是在故事之後補上理性論據。以範文為例：故事講完何伯之後，接着列舉同理心、溝通技巧、研究顯示助人減壓、對升學履歷有幫助，四項理性收益令論證立體。易錯之處是學生全篇只有煽情故事，經不起追問；或全篇只有說理，聽眾無感。感性故事負責打動，理性論據負責站穩，兩者先後接力，才能說服整個禮堂的聽眾，這是演講的黃金三角之一。
5例題示範 Example
範文演講講「為什麼每個青少年都應該試試做義工」。拆解它怎樣開場處理反對意見、用親身故事說服，最後怎樣呼籲行動。
- 第一步：開場稱呼齊全（Principal、teachers、fellow students），先講反方想法「volunteering means giving up your precious free time」，再以「I used to think so too」拉近距離。
- 第二步：主體是一個完整故事：深水埗探訪獨居長者，何伯叫我坐下，聽他講舊港口、亡妻和雲吞麵舖。
- 第三步：由故事提煉論點：「Volunteering is not about charity; it is about connection」——故事加金句令論點有溫度。
- 第四步：再列理性好處：同理心、溝通技巧、研究顯示助人減壓、對升學履歷有幫助。
- 第五步：呼籲具體：每月兩個小時、賣旗、探老人院、教小朋友閱讀；「brighten two lives: theirs and ours」收結。
- 答案：這篇演講稿的說服結構很完整。開場問候齊全，立即處理反方想法——「義工＝犧牲私人時間」，再以「I used to think so too」建立共鳴。主體用親身故事：深水埗獨居的何伯請他坐下，聽他講舊港口、亡妻和雲吞麵舖，帶出「Volunteering is not about charity; it is about connection」這個核心論點。之後補理性論據：同理心、溝通技巧、助人減壓、對升學有幫助。呼籲具體到立即做得到：每月兩小時、賣旗、探訪、教閱讀，還將益處講成「brighten two lives: theirs and ours」。感性故事加理性論據加具體呼籲，是演講稿的滿分三角。
