西交利物浦大学2020届毕业典礼

学生代表致辞——杨月含

尊敬的各位教授、工作人员，尊敬的嘉宾、家属和将要毕业的同学们:

大家好，我的名字是月含。我要感谢大家和我一起参加并庆祝这个特殊的日子，同时我也想对2020届毕业生说声祝贺你们毕业了。虽然我现在很紧张，但今天能代表2020届毕业生演讲，令我感到非常荣幸。在开始演讲之前，我必须承认写这篇演讲稿并不比写作业和写毕业论文容易多少。首先，我可能要说一些话让你们笑一下，然后再让你们哭一下。在你哭的同时，我还要说一些有意义的东西，来激励你对现在或未来的看法。所以正如你了解到的，写演讲稿真的不是一件容易的事。

但是，当我开始回想自己在西交利物浦大学的一年半时间里，和教授、家人、朋友、同学们一起度过的硕士经历，再想想2020年这特殊的一年，我发现也许演讲并没有我想象中的那么难，而我也相信这些经历会成为我们大家牢记心中的回忆。

今天是我们人生中重要的一天，我现在站在这里，想起了那些难忘的时刻。对于我们中的一些人来说，这可能是学生时代的最后一天，但对于所有的毕业生来说，这将是他们新旅程的开始。我相信大家都会珍惜在西交利物浦大学学习成长的经历，因为西浦也在和我们一起成长。由于今年的疫情，我们打算出国深造、找工作就业的计划都被打乱了。不过，也正是因为这次疫情，使今年的毕业典礼变得与众不同。作为一个即将毕业的学生，我相信在座的每一位都有自己的2020故事和将要毕业的兴奋，而这些都将伴随他们的一生。

于我而言，作为西浦国际商学院的一名学生，我在研究生学习阶段面临了诸多挑战，语言就是其中之一。西浦是一所国际化的大学，英语是我们主要使用的语言，然而对我和绝大多数同学来说，英语则是第二语言。因此，我在阅读和交流中有时会遇到语言障碍。但是在学习的过程中，我了解到沟通和合作不仅在现实的商业世界中起着重要的作用，在课堂上也是如此。尽管语言上有一定的难度，但我和我的组员们都能有效地进行交流，以达到我们共同的目标。在小组讨论中，我们用肢体语言和手势来帮助表达，这也是学习英语和学习对方语言的有效途径。我想大部分留学生都提高了自己的普通话水平，当然，也包括与淘宝的客服的沟通能力。所以，在我们的合作和努力下，结果总是令人满意的。能够和大家分享这样独特的经历，我感到非常幸运和荣幸。

语言并不是我们在研究生阶段面临的唯一挑战。因为我们的课时安排真的很紧凑，所以必须保证安排好自己的时间，从而能够上好每一节课，参加每一次小组会议，完成足够多的额外学习活动课时以及作业。这时，截止日期便成了我们最主要的动力。相信你与我一样，都曾为了确保在截止日期前提交作业，而疯狂地赶作业。而且截止日期仿佛是所有教授都讨论过并且一致同意的，因为它们几乎都出现在同一天，或者每个星期总有几个截止日期来保证我们忙得不可开交。因此，我很难平衡我的学习、作为研究助理的工作和我的社交生活，我也试图好好地休息。而这也使得时间管理成为我在硕士学习期间的另一个挑战。我必须提前计划好所有的事情，以确保我有足够的时间来学习，完成我的课程作业，与朋友出去玩，或者我可以休息放松一下。相信大家和我差不多，甚至在硕士期间中要做的事情更多。在每一次疯狂的 "截止日期周 "或者 "截止日期月"之后，我们都有一种劫后余生的感觉。然而，当我们看到自己优异的成绩时，我们知道，所有的努力都是有回报的。

虽然研究生阶段给我们带来了很多不同的挑战，但正是这些挑战促进我们去学习和成长。今年世界也面临着重大挑战，新冠疫情影响着世界上的每一个人，给全世界的社会、经济造成了严重的损失。在此，我想特别感谢所有为控制这场疫情做出贡献的人，因为他们的不懈努力，我们才有机会在这里一起举行毕业典礼，我也相信世界终将战胜这场疫情。正因为这次特殊的经历，我们将会更有信心地去应对未来的一切挑战。再次祝贺所有的毕业生，同时非常感谢亲爱的西浦、教授、工作人员，以及家人、朋友和同学与我分享这段旅程。祝愿你们在未来的道路上越走越好。谢谢！

Graduate representative's address- Yuehan Yang, MSc Operations and Supply Chain Management, IBSS

Dear Professors, staff, distinguished guests, families, and fellow graduates,

My name is Yuehan, I want to thank you all for joining in and celebrating this special day with us and I also want to say congratulations, graduates of the class of 2020. As nervous as I am now, I also feel much honoured to represent the graduating class of 2020 to deliver this speech today. Before I start, I have to admit that writing this speech is not much easier than writing papers and writing my dissertation. First of all, I may have to say something to make you laugh, and then make you cry a little bit. While you are crying, I also have to say something meaningful to inspire you about the present or the future. So as you can see, it is really not an easy task.

But when I started to think about my master's experience in the past year and a half at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University with my professors, families, friends, and my classmates, and then I thought about the experience of this special year of 2020, I realiase maybe delivering a speech is not as hard as I thought, and I believe that these experiences will become unforgettable memories for all of us.

Today is an important day in our lives. When I am standing here, it also reminds me of all the memorable moments. It might be the last day for some of us as students but it is a new beginning of a journey for all graduates. I believe that all of us would cherish the experience of studying and growing at XJTLU as it is also growing with us. Due to this year's pandemic, our plans of going abroad for further studiesor looking for and taking up jobs have been disrupted. However, it is also because of the pandemic, our graduation this year has become unique. Talking from the perspective of a graduating student, I believe everyone here has had their own share of stories for this year and excitement of graduation that they will carry along with their life.

For me, as a student of the International Business School Suzhou atXJTLU, I faced many challenges in my postgraduate study, and language is one of them. XJTLU is an international university, where English is the main language we use. It is the second language for me and for most of other studentshere. Therefore, I sometimes experienced language barriers during reading and communication. However, in the process of learning, I have learned that communication and cooperation not only play a significant role in the real business world but also in the class. Despite the difficulty of language, my group members and I have managed to communicate and cooperate effectively with each other to achieve our common goals. We used body language and gestures to help us express meanings in group discussions, which were also useful ways for us to learn English and to learn each other's language. I think most international students improved their mandarin skills, or, of course, including communication skills with Taobao customer service. So, thanks to our cooperation and efforts, the results turned out to be satisfactory. I feel so lucky and honoured to share the unique experience with you.

However, language was not the only challenge we faced in postgraduate school. Since our class schedules were really tight, we have to make sure we arrange our time well to attend every class and every group meeting, to complete enough hours for our additional learning activities, and to finish our coursework. And the deadlines are always the primary productive force. I believe that we have all gone through crazy hours to make sure that we submitted our assignments right before deadlines. And it seemed that the deadlines were discussed and agreed by all professors. Because deadlines were pretty much all around the same date or each week always had a couple of deadlines to keep us busy. So it was hard to balance my study, my work as a research assistant, and my social life, and I also tried to get enough time to sleep as well. And this makes time management become another challenge for me during my master's study. I had to plan everything ahead to make sure I got enough time to study, to finish my coursework, to hang out with my friends, or I could take a break and just relax. I believe everyone was pretty much thesame as me, or even had more things to do during their master's life. After every crazy "deadline week" or "deadline month", we had the feeling of being a survivor of disasters. However, when we saw our excellent results, we knew that all the efforts were paid off.

Although graduate school challenged us in so many different ways, it is those challenging moments that have helped us learn and grow. Same as the challenge the world has been facing this year, the pandemic of COVID-19 has affected everyone all over the world, causing serious damage to humans, society, and economy worldwide. By standing here, I would like to thank all those who have contributed to helping control this pandemic. Because of the efforts of each of us, now we can hold a ceremony here together to celebrate our graduation. It proves that we have the confidence to overcome the challenge of the pandemic, and I believe the world will overcome it eventually. With this special experience, we will be more confident to cope with all the challenges arising in the future. Congratulations again to you, all the graduates. And thank you very much, our dear XJTLU, professors, staff, families, friends, and fellow classmates for sharing this journey with me. I wish you all the best of luck with the future ahead. Thank you!
