洋味十足的中文演讲, 丰富多彩的文艺节目, 经久不息的掌声喝彩……25日下午, 大连外国语学院汉学院的多功能厅里, 来自不同国家的留学生，将这里的气氛点热到了极点。大连外国语学院2006年汉语演讲比赛暨文艺大赛在一片欢快的氛围中拉开了帷幕。 
洋味十足的中文演讲
来自印度尼西亚的黄锦升最先登上了讲演舞台，声情并茂地把他的《大连趣事》带给了在座观众。他的演讲风格颇似美国脱口秀的主持人，思维活跃，口语流利，夹杂着洋味的中文之中又不乏幽默之词，他说他在大连"发现了一个很好玩的东西--那就是大连的特色小吃焖子！"本来是很普通的一句话，经他略带有英文语调式的点缀，更具另一番"韵味"。最后，黄锦升终究抵不住焖子的诱惑，以一句"对不起，失陪了，我要去吃焖子了！"结束了他精彩的演讲。
韩国姑娘郑娜泳以轻松诙谐的讲演方式引来了评委
与观众们的阵阵叫好。她带来的演讲《瞧，这些恋人们》是关于现代中国人谈恋爱的话题。题目的新颖别致配合些许表情动作，再加上一路飘升的语调和因临场忘词而不断重复的经典语录--"（这种行为）如果被孩子看到，影响也不太好，影响也不太好"，令台下老师观众笑倒一片。 
《京剧随想》、《留学中国》、《同一个世界，同一个梦想》、《我爱你--美丽的大连》…… 这些精彩的演讲都以留学生在中国的感触为主题，生动的展现了他们对大连的感情，对中国的爱和对中国文化的欣赏。尽管台上有些选手由于紧张而忘词，但台下观众阵阵鼓励掌声让他们渡过了"难关"。
据大连外国语学院汉学院的任院长介绍，这样的演讲比赛每个学期都要举行一次，主要是为了提高学生们学习汉语的兴趣，同时也是对学生学习成果和老师教学成果的一次检验。每次举办演讲比赛，同学们都踊跃报名，他们的班主任也尽心尽力为学生指导演讲内容。
精彩纷呈的文艺汇演
演讲比赛过后，观众并未立即散去。即将登场的文艺大赛使仅仅能容下200人的多功能厅再度显得火爆异常。门口和过道处挤满了后赶来的学生，就连窗台也成了观看节目的绝佳地点。
来自印尼的胡永孝为在座的朋友和老师献上了张学友的忧伤情歌《一千个伤心的理由》。深情的歌声，惟妙惟肖的模仿，让台下的观众意犹未尽，"再来一首"的喊声一浪高过一浪。
"天生我才必有用，千金散尽还复来……"美国"大山"东方波涛带来的诗歌朗诵《将进酒》在古筝的伴奏下愈发显得韵味十足，意境悠远。抑扬顿挫的音调配以丰富的手势表情，让观众深深沉醉于这古韵幽幽的意境之中。
来自印尼的黄锦升，不仅有着脱口秀主持人的风范，而且还对钢琴颇有研究。他铿锵有力的钢琴独奏将80年代曾风靡一时的经典影片《上海滩》再度演绎，激昂的音乐将人们的思绪再次带回了30年代纷乱的争斗之中。
短剧表演、新疆舞蹈、书法国画、二胡长笛演奏 …… 精彩纷呈的演出节目引来了不少留学生的欢呼喝彩。正如大外汉学院的任院长所说，这些文化活动的举办就是要让留学生的课余生活更加丰富多彩，让他们在娱乐中了解中国文化，喜欢中国文化。

Foreign Students' Show in DUFL
The 2006 Chinese Speaking Contest and the Talents Competition were held in Dalian University of Foreign Languages on the afternoon of Oct.25, 2006.
Composed of the junior section and senior section, the Chinese Speaking Contest attracted more than 200 foreign students in the multi-function hall. The participators chose topics on their study in China including the anecdotage in Dalian, Dalian in my eyes, my favorite Chinese movie and look at these Chinese lovers.
"I haven't expected that!" said Huang Jinsheng, who won the champion of the junior section. "My major is marine biology. The business related to my major mostly goes to China, such as the export and the market, so I came here and study Mandarin. I chose Dalian also because of my major. I want to choose a city close to the beach, and I like the city which is less crowded, thus Dalian is my first choice. "
Kitabe Kasumi who is from Tokyo, Japan, won the champion of the senior section. Her father is a Chinese but they never talk in Chinese at home. She had many friends from China when she was in Japan, therefore, though she did not learn Mandarin on purpose, she can speak it fluently. Her elder sister has studied in the Chinese Institute of Dalian University of Foreign Languages. Influenced by her sister, Kitabe Kasumi also chose to learn Chinese in Dalian after graduating from high school .
"We hold the Chinese Speaking Contest each term. Through this kind of the contest, we'd like to improve the students' interest in studying Mandarine and also to check up the achievements they've gained," said Ren Xuemei, the vice dean of the school of Chinese Studies of DUFL.
After the speaking contest, these foreign students brought their wonderful performances including the Chinese painting, Chinese pop songs, piano solo, XinJiang dance, poem eclocnte, flute solo and two-stringed Chinese fiddle on the stage to show their talents.
Oshima Hiromi, a girl from Shizuoka, Japan, played a famous song "Edelweiss" by Chinese traditional musical instrument, Erhu. She said Erhu was very popular in Japan because of a traditional Chinese band called 12 Girls Band. She has been in Dalian for half a year, and learned Erhu for almost 3 months. She has practiced for two weeks for this competition.
Todd Bokin, a junior undergraduate from America, recited "Bringing in the Wine", a famous poem of Li Po, Poet Immortal in China, . Though he was a little nervous and could not give a fluent recitation, his performance impressed judges a lot.
"Before the competition, I was not interested in ancient Chinese. It was my girlfriend, Haiyan, who advised me to give the performance. " Todd said. Now Todd not only read the poetry written by LiPo, but the ones written by Du Fu, the Poet Sage in China.
Mr.Jin, a professor as well as a judge, said that it was the first time for the Institute to hold a talent competition. "The champion would go to the Dalian Foreigners Talents Competition in December," he said. "I feel proud of the these students for their wonderful performances in just ten days to prepare."
