【题型解析】

演讲稿不是普通的英语文章，它是进行演讲的依据，是对演讲内容和形式的规范和提示，它体现着演讲的目的和手段。它可以用来交流思想、感情，表达主张、见解；也可以用来介绍自己的学习、工作情况和经验等。演讲稿具有宣传、鼓励、教育等作用，它可以把演讲者的观点、主张与思想感情传达给听众以及读者，使他们信服并在思想感情上产生共鸣。

演讲稿一般分为以下三部分：

1．首段：打招呼，说明演讲的主题。一篇好的演讲稿能够在一开始就清楚地让听众明白演讲的主题并能够吸引听众。可以引用名人名言，或向观众提出问题，也可以采用开门见山的方式等。

2．主体段：要用各种方法和材料说明、支持你的论点，表达你的思想，感染听众；也可以设立问句并结合自身经历支持演讲话题。写作时可根据需要有效、正确地使用英语写作方法和技巧，例如恰当地运用明喻、暗喻或夸张等各种修辞手段，用词要准确，避免使用生僻、模棱两可的语言。

3．尾段：总结概括，提出期望，表示感谢。要强调论点、得出结论或表达感情，结束演讲。可以重复开头，也可用号召行动结尾或用反问结尾。

As is known to all, with the improvement of people's living standards, cars have become a popular means of transport, bringing great convenience to our life【2】. However, they have also caused some problems, such as air pollution and traffic jams. How can we solve the problems?

As far as I'm concerned, riding bicycles is a good solution. For one thing, bicycles don't need any petrol and they are energy-saving. For another, bicycles are environmentally friendly because they don't give off waste gas. What's more, riding bicycles is a good way for us to exercise and it is beneficial to our health. Therefore, let's take the responsibility to build a low-carbon city by riding bicycles. Come on and join us！【3】

That's all. Thank you！
