Proceed „Shuang chuang‟ for a better city!Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen I grew up in Hainan Haikou, a beautiful city which has a wonderful natural landscape and mysterious local culture.I love Haikou because of thecalmweather, picturesque sunsetsand relaxing lifestyle.Thesegreatfeatures of Haikou are worthy of praiseand should be preserved.Howeverover the past decade, Haikou hasfacedincreasing pressure frompollution and traffic congestion.With these inevitable threats our localgovernmentstrugglesto keep a heathy balance between our city development and living environment.So, as a part of society, how can we contribute to the city for the better? Let me ask you a question;have you ever seen garbage on the street? Think about a young foreign girl who might visitHaikou city for the first time and seetrashin Ever-greenPark, how wouldshe feel? She would probably say, “What a beautiful park but it is ruined by rubbish everywhere!Is this how the Hainanese people always treat their city? Not very civilized, my hometown is much better than here.” As a result, that girl might never come back andmay even tell her friends of our dirty parks.Ladies and Gentlemen, our government has introduced the„Shuangchuang‟ policy and exerted so much effort to keep our city in better order.We should behave ourselves and take some responsibility as good citizens.We can prove to the world that we all can do this!Let me ask you another question;“Have you seen a clean river and a wild flower? Have you heard the voice of the songbirds? My parents said yes…in their youth, they used to bathe in the river, sing with the birds and lay down on the flower bed appreciating the wonderful nature.But thatall has gone now.The young generation haven‟t seen a bright sky and transparent river so they tend to dream about the outside world and forgot about their own places.My dear friends, ourbeautiful city needs to be built and kept withour own hands.Let us fill our hearts with kindness and good intentions.Let us save our natural resources;let us plant more trees to make our city greener;Let us all believe that one day Haikou willbe a unique and impressive place forourforeignersto stay!Our city still has a long way to go as it faces many economic and political challenges.However if my speech touches every soul here tonight, I believe it shall go forth beyond this competition and be a great success.Ladies and Gentlemen, believe me, together we canrebuild our city.Together we canmake it a more comfortable place to live.Together we cangive our future generation a city to be proud of.Sing: What we should do in Shuangchuang, everybody should know by heart.Building national civilized city, making healthy place for life.Said official, we should‟be all in, joint forces by heart.For our city better and prettier, we should work harder to make it come ture.Thank you.

双创双提，从我做起

各位老师、各位同学：

大家好！今天我演讲的题目是《双创双提，从我做起》。

大方，是一个朴实而美丽的词；大方，是一片古老而神秘的土地。潺潺落脚河奔流不息，那是这片土地上一支流动的歌；巍巍青龙山纵横千里，那是这片土地上一幅多彩的画。青山翠拥，碧水环绕，这就是我们的家乡——大方。这里胜景天成，杜鹃花和杜鹃鸟美丽动人，曾有诗人留下“子规夜半犹啼血，不信东风唤不回”的绝妙诗句；九洞天洞中有水，水洞相连，堪称奇观，有对联称赞：“山中水，水中山，独占山水魂；洞上桥，桥上洞，别有洞桥天”；奢香墓和奢香馆相映成趣，古朴典雅，展示了彝族建筑艺术之精华；高原湖泊——吱嘎阿鲁湖，绵延百余里，美丽壮观；油杉河神秘诱人，奇山异树，浅潭伏流，引人入胜。大方山川秀丽，资源丰富，历史悠久，文化底蕴深厚，民族民间艺术多姿多彩，书法、灯谜、诗词、楹联、木雕、农民画、漆器工艺等，一直在黔西北文化领域独树一帜，兴盛不衰。近年来，改革的春风唤醒了沉睡的大方，这片土地，也正以她独特的风姿吸引着无数远方的客人。然而，旅游活动从本质上讲是一种文化活动。在旅游文化中，一个个具体的自然景观固然是核心，但是一个地方、一个城市的整体面貌，卫生状况，人文素质更是旅游文化的灵魂。我们不能让这片美丽的背后有着不和谐的点滴——宽宽的街道旁，躺着纸屑和果皮；明亮的灯下，飘来粗俗的言语；温柔的小溪，浮起各种垃圾；污水随地倾倒，花草任意践踏，随处可见的小摊破坏了街道的整齐„„因此，创建地级卫生县城、地级文明县城，提升市民素质、提升城市品位即“双创双提”势在必行。在“双创双提”活动中我们作为大方儿女，作为教师，应怎样做呢？我们不能只是喊几句口号，做几次活动，就抛之脑后。而是要落实在行动上，这就是我今天要说的话题“双创双提，从我做起”。细心的您会不难发现，有的教师身上会出现一些不协调的景象：或者浓妆艳抹头发染得像鸡毛掸；或者蓬头垢面邋邋遢遢上课还打着呵欠；或者身着前卫吊带褂，或者披衣散扣穿拖鞋；或者阴阳怪气装娇媚，或者流言蜚语骂骂咧咧„„试问，如果你是这样的老师，你会教出怎样的学生呢？作为教师，我们应该从自己的言行做起，要有教师职业形象与职业语言，身教胜于言教，我们得做好学生的表率。一身得体的打扮，一个良好的习惯，一句温馨的话语，一个真诚的微笑，一颗赤诚的爱心，这是我们应该做到的啊！你知道吗？今天的冷底小学发生了翻天覆地的变化。绿树花草让你倍感清新，干净整洁的校园让你流连，一声声稚嫩的 “老师好！”让你感到温馨，憨实的普通话会让你忍不住也插上几句。这一切，难道不就是从我做起的成效吗？

如今，“双创双提”的春风改变家乡的面貌。人们渐渐养成了良好的卫生习惯，营造了舒适的环境，提高了文明礼貌的素养。这样，我们才能构建和谐的社会，创建优美的环境，打造可爱的家园。同学们,老师们，行动起来吧！用我们的双手和智慧，为创建文明大方，构建和谐家园而努力奋斗！我相信，有你、有我、有他，大方会真正成为花的天堂，鸟的天堂，我们的天堂！

谢谢大家！

第八届全国英语演讲比赛全国冠军演讲稿

（顾秋蓓）

下午好，各位先生女士们

今天，我想首先用一个小故事。曾经有一个物理治疗师谁亲赴从美国到非洲做一个关于山地大猩猩普查。这些大猩猩是对游客的吸引力，主要来自世界各地，这使他们严重不足的偷猎威胁，目前到动物园付诸表决。她去了好奇，但她看见她的决心，增强她的一生奉献为这些美丽的生物战斗。她亲眼目睹的场景，场景带我们到一个地方，我们从来没有影像，我们经历过的，其中在非洲热带雨林的深处，树木，花卉，蝴蝶，大猩猩包围的母亲拥抱自己的婴儿。

是的，在我最喜欢的电影之一难忘的场景，呼吁在薄雾大猩猩的基础上，戴安娜弗西夫人，谁在此度过了一生中最卢旺达保护，直到她生命的最后的生态环境有真实的故事。

对我来说，电影，不仅提供了一个难忘的场景，而且也是一个永恒提醒我们，我们不应该在发展我们的生态成本，环境，旅游业行为。

今天，我们生活在一个繁荣的世界，但仍这么多的新问题的威胁。一方面，旅游业作为21世纪最有前途的产业之一，为我们提供了极好的机会都没有看到人都会看到，并前往任何地方有去。这已成为一些人的生活方式，并已被证明是在国内生产总值增长的推动力。它的神奇，把一个繁荣仙境1落后的小城。但在另一方面，可能会出现很多问题-自然景观不自然了。砍伐森林的热小屋是毁灭性的尼泊尔。旅游船油泄漏污染是南极。部落的人丧失了本土音乐和服饰，听取他们对随身听U2和穿耐克和锐步。

所有这些令人震惊的事实使我们认识到，我们不能再袖手旁观，什么都不做，因为它认为非常侵蚀了我们的资源。令人鼓舞的是，全球旅游的爆炸性增长已经把旅游业再次在聚光灯下，这就是为什么联合国2002年提出的生态旅游首次提请全世界注意旅游业的好处，但也其能力，破坏我们的生态环境。

现在每年有很多地方ecoenvironmental保护组织接受捐赠-大笔记，笔记，甚至小硬币-从家庭主妇，管道工，救护车司机，售货员，教师，儿童和残疾人。其中一些人可没有钱给的钱，但他们这样做。这是谁驾驶的出租车，谁在医院护士，谁从他们所在地区的生态破坏的痛苦。为什么？因为他们的照顾。因为他们仍然希望他们回到大自然。因为他们知道它仍然属于他们。

这种感觉，我有，女士们，先生们，是当它的感觉，喜欢这种气味，而且看来，这一切都从一个场景来记住，一个场景回顾和珍惜。

有一天晚上，我看见月亮徘徊在土地和前被送进了无形的，心里却充满了歌曲。我发现自己轻轻哼唱，而不是音乐，而是别的东西，别的地方，一个地方记住，一个地方不动，一个草地，再没有人似乎除了鹿被。

和那些难忘的情景更增强了的感觉，现在需要我们做一些事情，为我们自己和我们的未来一代。

再次，我所认为的夫人戴安娜弗西，因为它与她的精神，热情，勇气和强烈的生态环境，我们的感觉是，我们正在进入世界的下一个步骤。

不管我们是谁，我们做什么，而且我们去，在我们的脑海，总有一个场景要记住，一个值得努力保护，并争取的场景。

非常感谢。第八届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军——顾秋蓓

A Scene to RememberGu

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.Today I would like to begin with a story.There was once a physical 1)therapist（临床医学家）who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a 2)census（普查）about mountain 3)gorillas.These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world;this put them severely under threat of 4)poaching and being put into the zoo.She went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures.She witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we've ever been, where in the very depth of the African rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas 5)cuddled拥抱 their babies.Yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called Gorillas in the Mist, based on a true story of Mrs.Dian Fossey, who spent most of bet lifetime in Rwanda（卢旺达）to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.To me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a 6)timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our ecoenvironment.Today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems.On the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go.It has become a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in GDP growth.It has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity.But on the other hand, many problems can occur---natural scenes aren't natural anymore.Deforestation to heat lodges is devastating Nepal.Oil spills from tourist boats are polluting Antarctica.Tribal people are forsaking their native music and dress to listen to U2 on Walkman and wear Nike and Reeboks.All these 7)appalling(令人震惊的)facts have brought us to the realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been 8)eroding(侵蚀)our resources.Encouragingly, the explosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the United Nations has made 2002 the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the world's attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our ecoenvironment.Now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection organizations an: receiving donations--big notes, small notes or even coins--from

housewives, 9)plumbers(水管工人), ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and 10)invalids(残疾人), Some of them can not afford to send the money but they do.These are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from ecological damage in their

neighborhood.Why? Because they care.Because they still want their Mother Nature back.Because they know it still belongs to them.This kind of feeling that I have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it, it's all coming from a scene to remember, a scene to recall and to cherish.The other night, as l saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs.I found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to some-thing else, someplace else.a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seem to have been except the deer.And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's lime for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.Once again, I have come to think of Mrs.Dian Fossey be-cause it's with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.And no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our mind, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.Thank you very much.94

英语演讲稿-My definition of success">Today I am very glad to be here to sh

are with you my ideas of success.What is success? It is what everyone is longing for.Sometimes success would be rather simple.Winning a game is success;getting a high grade in the exam is success;making a new friend is success;even now I am standing here giving my speech is somehow also success.However, as a person’s whole life is concerned, success becomes very

complicated.Is fortune success? Is fame success? Is high social status success? No, I don’t think so.I believe success is the realization of people’

s hopes and ideals.Nowadays, in the modern society there are many people

who are regarded as the successful.And the most obvious characteristics of hem are money, high position and luxurious life.So most people believe that s success and all that they do is for this purpose.But the problem is wether it is real success.We all know there are always more money, higher position and better condition in front of us.If we keep chasing them, where is the end? What will satisfy us at last? Therefore, we can see, to get the real Success we must need something inside, which is the realization of people’ hopes and ideals.Different people have different ideas about success;cause people’s hopes and ideas vary from one another.But I am sure every success is dear to everybody, cause it is not easy to come by, cause in the process of our striving for success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightened by the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and sense of responsibility.These are the best treasures.So now I am very proud that I have this opportunity to stand here speaking to all of you.It is my success, cause I raise up to challenge my hope.What is success? Everyone has his own interpretation as I do.But I am sure

every success leads to an ever-brighter future.So ladies and gentlemen, believe in our hopes, believe in ourselves, we, every one of us, can make a successful life!

Wish you all good success!

To me March 28th was a lucky day.It was on that particular evening that I found myself at central stage, in the spotlight.Winning the 21st Century·Ericsson Cup Seventh National English Speaking Competition is a memory that I shall treasure and one that will surely stay.More important than winning the Cup is the friendship that has been established and developed among the contestants, and the chance to communicate offstage in addition to competing onstage.Also the competition helps boost public speaking in China, a skill hitherto undervalued.For me, though, the competition is a more personal experience.Habitually shy, I had been reluctant to take part in any such activities.Encouraged by my friends, however, I made a last-minute decision to give it a try.In the course of preparation I somehow rediscovered myself, a truer me.I found that, after all, I like communicating with other people;that exchanging views can be so much fun—and so much rewarding, both emotionally and intellectually;that public speaking is most effective when you are least guarded;and that it is essential to success in every walk of life.At a more practical level, I realized knowing what you are going to say and how you are going to say it are equally important.To take the original ideas out of your head and transplant them, so to speak, to that of others, you need to have an organized mind.This ability improves with training.Yet there should not be any loss or addition or distortion in the process.Those ideas that finally find their way into another head need to be recognizably yours.Language is a means to transmit information, not a means to obstruct communication.It should be lucid to be penetrating.In China, certain public speaking skills have been unduly emphasized.Will it really help, we are compelled to ask, to bang at the podium or yell at the top of your lungs, if you have come with a poorly organized speech, a muddled mind, and unwillingness to truly share your views?

Above all, the single most important thing I learnt was that as a public speaker, you need to pay attention, first and foremost, to the content of your speech.And second, the structure of your speech: how one idea relates and progresses to another.Only after these come delivery and non-verbal communication: speed control, platform manner, and so on.Pronunciation is important, yet of greater importance is this: Is your language competent enough to express your ideas exactly the way you intend them to be understood?

I was informed afterwards that I was chosen to be the winner for my appropriately worded speech, excellent presence and quick-witted response.In so remarking, the judges clearly showed their preference: they come to listen for meaningful ideas, not for loose judgments, nor easy laughters.Some contestants failed to address their questions head on.Some were able to, but did not know where to stop—the dragging on betrayed their lack of confidence.The root cause was that they did not listen attentively to the questions.Or they were thinking of what they had prepared.As I said in my speech, It is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking...to take them [issues like globalization] on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way.We need to respond honestly.A competition like this draws talented students from all over the country.And of course, I learnt more things than just about public speaking.Since in the final analysis, public speaking is all about effective communication.And this goes true for all communications, whatever their setting.And the following is the final version of my speech:At a more practical level, I realized knowing what you are going to say and how you are going to say it are equally important.To take the original ideas out of your head and transplant them, so to speak, to that of others, you need to have an organized mind.This ability improves with training.Yet there should not be any loss or addition or distortion in the process.Those ideas that finally find their way into another head need to be recognizably yours.Language is a means to transmit information, not a means to obstruct communication.It should be lucid to be penetrating.In China, certain public speaking skills have been unduly emphasized.Will it really help, we are compelled to ask, to bang at the podium or yell at the top of your lungs, if you have come with a poorly organized speech, a muddled mind, and unwillingness to truly share your views?
