感悟：1.自己写完稿子才有深刻的感觉，感觉每个点都写到了，但是又不知道该怎么写清楚，然后在导师的指导，就一瞬间感觉自己清醒了很多，发现自己观点没有分类，想一把抓，然后就导致演讲稿没有在一条线上讲清楚，导师很耐心地从第一段开始讲稿子的问题，我就看到自己表达中的各种逻辑断层，就是一件事情没说透就着急着跳到下一件事情，还发现自己段落欠缺的主旨句，就导致给人感觉找不到这段话想讲的重点是什么，还有各种表达赘述，结尾匆匆结束。

2. 没什么事是简单的，只有我们自己亲自去认真做了才能体会到其中的难处，写作更是如此，我们应该是have sth to write, not just to write sth.不是词藻的堆砌，要写出自己的观点。
