2015年“外研社杯”全国大学生英语演讲大赛复赛题目已经公布，请有兴趣的同学提前准备，我们将在本学期末到下学期初，择优培训部分同学。请有能力、有兴趣的同学提前在外语系高燕鹏老师处报名。今年复赛演讲要求看视频材料，自拟题目进行演讲，视频文本如下：

Make a three-minute speech based on the video. Please give your speech a title Huize said to Zhuangzi :"the prince of Wei gave me a seed of a large kind of gourd. I planted it, and it bore fruit as big as a five bushel measure. Now had I used this for holding liquids, it would have been too heavy to lift; and had I cut it in half for ladles, the ladles would have been too flat for such purpose. Certainly it was a huge thing, but I had no use for it and so broke it up."

"It was rather you did not know how to use large things! Now as to your five-bushel gourd, why did you not make a float of it, and float about over river and lake? And you complain of its being too flat for holding things! I fear your mind is stuffy inside.

演讲题目视频也已发至各个年级群里，请同学们及时查看！
