have i ever collected waste paper or bottles for recycling? have i ever planted any trees or flowers in or near my neighborhood?” if your answers are “yes”, it means that you have already done something useful to improve the environment.moreover, we should also use public transportation as possible as we can.we should also save water and electricity and other resources for next generation.now i want to say: let’s do our best to make our world more beautiful!开场白:早上好，我亲爱的老师和同学。我的名字叫秦泽邦。我很高兴站在这里，我很荣幸能作一次演讲。我的主题是保护环境和低碳生活。正文： 现在，我想谈一谈一个美丽的世界！我总是梦想着能在一个美丽的国家。有很多花和我们的城市周围的树。我们可以听到鸟儿歌唱，看到孩子们跳舞。街道是明亮的、空气是非常新鲜！这是多好！但这只是我的一个梦！现实是几乎每天都我们可以看到堵车因为越来越多的人正在使用私家车的多污染空气。我们很少享用新鲜的空气，因为我们始终保持在空调房间里。因此，我认为我们应该采取措施保护我们的环境。每个人都应作出贡献，保护环境。照顾我们，这是环境的非常重要的。无论我们住在哪里，我们可以做些在我们的社区。你有过引发任何垃圾在地上吗？你有在公共的墙壁上涂鸦吗？你曾经砍倒树吗？如果您的答案是“no”，这意味着您已经帮助保护我们的环境。它是我们的责任，以保持我们的环境干净整洁。你可能会问自己，“有摘过一些垃圾和扔进垃圾箱吗？我曾经收集废纸或供循环再用的瓶子吗？我曾经栽了任何树木或内或附近我家附近
的花吗？”如果您回答“是”，这意味着你已经为改善环境的有用的东西。此外，我们还应使用公共交通工具并尽我们所能。我们还应为下一代保存电力、水和其他资源。现在我要说： 让我们做最大努力使我们的世界更美丽！
高级版（见见高手！）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。
yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called gorillas in the mist, based on a true story of mrs.diana fossey, who spent most of her lifetime in rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.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。
to me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our eco-environment.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。
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 bee 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 occurbig notes, small notes or even coins-from housewives, plumbers, ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and invalids.some of them cannot 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.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。
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 ing from a scene to be remembered, a scene to recall and to cherish.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。
the other night, as i 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 something else, someplace else, a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seemed to have been except the deer.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。
and all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's time for us to do something, for our own and our ing generation.once again, i have e to think of mrs.diana fossey because it is with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.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。
and no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our minds, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.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。thank you very much.the rhythm of life most important lesson – we must place our mind in harmony with the natural order of things to be successful.let me tell you what happened.i decided to take part in an international marathon in my hometown last year.being an ambitious person, i hoped to finish it within 5 hours, acpanied by my friend with whom i had trained.the big day finally arrived.“ready...set...bang” and we were off.at first, we kept a rapid pace and ran nonstop.at this pace, we finished the first 20 kilometers in 2 hours and i thought running a marathon was a piece of cake.then my running mate began to slow down.i urged him to keep running at the same pace but he said no, he wanted to conserve his energy.i felt i had partnered with the wrong person;therefore, i sprinted on and left him behind in the dust.a few kilometers later, i began to understand his strategy as my pace slowed to a jog then a walk.after that i was incapable of moving another step.i was humiliated as more and more people ran passed me.more than once i thought “maybe i should quit.” i started to doubt my ability to finish this race.at this moment, my running mate caught up with me and slapped me on the back.“follow me,” he shouted.he had balanced his marathon pace and was encouraged me to do the same.for the rest of this grueling contest, we walked, jogged, ran a few miles, and walked again.slowly, painfully but hopefully this time, we established the most suitable pace
within the natural flow of our physical capabilities.eventually we acplished our first marathon of 42 kilometers in 4 and half hours.i asked myself, what did this marathon mean to me? my marathon experience became an influential metaphor for my life about how we must learn to pace ourselves in everything, by being in tune with the rhythm of life.like the tide that ebbs and flows, we must listen to advice but make our own decisions.like the show at dawn and dusk, we must learn to balance pride and modesty.and from the way the wind can both shout and whisper, we must learn when to be strong and when to be gentle, for everything moves in its own rhythm and its own yin and yang elements.it is the interaction of these plementary extremes that produces harmony, as laozi said, extremes meet.since the marathon, this notion of two opposite forces working together has been my running partner, so to speak.yin and yang exist everywhere, constantly interacting, and never existing in an absolute condition.ladies and gentlemen, life is like running a marathon, let us discover, define and develop a natural rhythm of life, in order to achieve both harmony and success.thank you for listening．
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 petition 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 municate offstage in addition to peting onstage.also the petition helps boost public speaking in china, a skill hitherto undervalued.for me, though, the petition 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 municating 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 waysintosanother head need to be recognizably yours.language is a means
to transmit information, not a means to obstruct munication.it should be lucid to be penetrating.in china, certain public speaking skills have been unduly emphasized.will it really help, we are pelled to ask, to bang at the podium or yell at the top of your lungs, if you have e 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 e delivery and non-verbal munication: speed control, platform manner, and so on.pronunciation is important, yet of greater importance is this: is your language petent 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 ed speech, excellent presence and quick-witted response”.in so remarking, the judges clearly showed their preference: they e 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 knowswheresto 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 ing our way”.we need to respond honestly.a petition 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 munication.and this goes true for all munications, whatever their setting.and the following is the final version of my speech: globalization: opportunities and challenges for china's younger generation thirty years ago, american president richard nixon made an epoch-making visit to china, a country still isolated at that time.premier zhou enlai said to him, “your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world—twenty-five years of no munication”.thirty years since, china and america have exchanged many handshakes.the fundamental implication of this exle is that the need to municate across differences in culture and ideology is not only felt by the two countries but by many other nations as well.as we can see today, environmentalists from different countries are making joint efforts to address the issue of global warming, economists are seeking solutions to financial crises that rage in a particular region but nonetheless cripple the world economy, and politicians and diplomats are
getting together to discuss the issue of bating terrorism.peace and prosperity has bee a mon goal that we are striving for all over the world.underlying this mighty trend of global munication is the echo of e.m.forster's s “only connect!” with the it revolution, traditional boundaries of human society fall away.our culture, politics, society and merce are being sloshedsintosone large melting pot of humanity.in this interlinked world, there are no outsiders, for a disturbance in one place is likely to impact other parts of the globe.we have begun to realize that a world divided cannot endure.china is now actively integratingsintosthe world.our recent entry to the wto is a good exle.for decades, we have taken pride in being self-reliant, but now we realize the importance of participating in and contributing to a broader economic order.from a precarious role in the world arena to our present wto membership, we have e a long way.but what does the way ahead look like? in some parts of the world people are demonstrating against globalization.are they justified, then, in criticizing the globalizing world? instead of narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, they say, globalization enables the developed nations to swallow the developing nations' wealth in debts and interest.globalization, they argue, should be about a mon interest in every other nation's economic health.we are reminded by karl marx that capital goes beyond national
borders and eludes control from any other entity.this has bee a reality.multinational corporations are seeking the lowest cost, the largest market, and the most favourable policy.they are often powerful lobbyists in government decision-making, ruthless expansionists in the global market and a devastating presence to local businesses.for china, still more challenges exist.how are we going to ensure a smooth transition from the planned economy to a market-based one? how to construct a legal system that is sound enough and broad enough to respond to the needs of a dynamic society? how to maintain our cultural identity in an increasingly homogeneous world? and how to define greatness in our rise as a peace-loving nation? globalization entails questions that concern us all.like many young people my age in china, i want to see my country get prosperous and enjoy respect in the international munity.but it seems to me that mere patriotism is not just enough.it is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking and broaden our mind to bigger issues.there might never be easy answers to those issues such as globalization, but to take them on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges ing our way.this is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech 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 petition 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 municate offstage in addition to peting onstage.also the petition helps boost public speaking in china, a skill hitherto undervalued.for me, though, the petition 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 municating 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

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 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(永恒的)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 bee 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 XX 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 ing 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 ing generation.once again, i have e 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.英语演讲比赛演讲稿

【演讲稿01】if i were a boy again 假如我又回到了童年
if i were a boy again, i would practice perseverance（毅力）more often, and never give up a thing because it was hard or inconvenient.if we want light, we must conquer darkness.perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results.“there are only two creatures,” says a proverb, “who can surmount the pyramids—the eagle and the snail.”
if i were a boy again, i would school myself into a habit of attention;i would let nothing e between me and the subject in hand.i would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once.the habit of attention bees part of our life, if we begin early enough.i often hear grown-up people say “i could not fix my attention on the lecture or book, although i wished to do so” , and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth.if i were to live my life over again, i would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory.i would strengthen that faculty by every possible means, and on every possible occasion.it takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately;but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble.it only needs early cultivation to bee a power.if i were a boy again, i would look on the cheerful side.life is very much like a mirror: if you smile upon it, i smile back upon you;but if you frown and look doubtful on it, you will get a similar look in return.inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner, but of all that e in contact with it.“who shuts love out ,in turn shall be shut out from love.”
finally, instead of trying hard to be happy, as if that were the sole purpose of life, i would, if i were a boy again, i would still try harder to make others happy.【译文】假如我又回到了童年，我做事要更有毅力，决不因为事情艰难或者麻烦而撒手不干，我们要光明，就得征服黑暗。毅力在效果上有时能同天才相比。俗话说：“能登上金字塔的生物，只有两种——鹰和蜗牛。”
假如我又回到了童年，我就要养成专心致志的习惯；有事在手，就决不让任何东西让我分心。我要牢记：优秀的滑冰手从不试图同时滑向两个不同的方向。如果及早养成这种专心致志的习惯，它将成为我们生命的一部分。我常听成年人说：“虽然我希望能集中注意听牧师讲道或读书，但往往做不到。”而原因就是年轻时没有养成这种习惯。
假如我现在能重新开始我的生命，我就要更注意记忆力的培养。我要采取一切可能的办法，并且在一切可能的场合，增强记忆力。要正确无误地记住一些东西，在开始阶段的确要作出一番小小的努力；但要不了多久，记忆力本身就会起作用，使记忆成为轻而易举的事，只需及早培养，记忆自会成为一种才能。
假如我又回到了童年，我就要事事乐观。生活犹如一面镜子：你朝它笑，它也朝你笑；如果你双眉紧锁，向它投以怀疑的目光，它也
将还以你同样的目光看待你。
内心的欢乐不仅温暖了欢乐者自己的心，也温暖了所有与之接触者的心。“谁拒爱于门外，也必将被爱拒诸门外。”
最后，假如我又回到了童年，我不会力图为自己谋幸福，好像这就是人生唯一的目的；与之相反，我要更努力为他人谋幸福。

不要忘记，在人生的道路上，要想做成什么事，我们必须持之以恒。如果我们在学校里想要学好功课，就必须得勤奋，任何时候遇到难题都不要放弃。我们会发现，许多功课非常难，但是我们得记住，那些功课越难，将来对我们的益处就越大--只要我们能持之以恒，完
全弄懂。
不过，我们当中有一些人，一遇到数学难题就轻易放弃，说：”这道题我做不出来。“ 如果他们这么认为，那他们永远也做不出来。说”我不能“的人永远干不成任何有价值的事，而说”我会努力“的人则可以创造奇迹。
让我们记住，在我们一生中，总要遇到各种难题。这些难题就横亘在每一个人的人生道路上。
只要我们努力，再努力，就一定会征服所遇到的每一个困难。假如我们今天功课上遇到一个难题，那就让我们竭力解决它，然后我们就可以做好准备应付明天更大的难题。假如我们在学校里就学会驾驭功课上的难题，将来离开学校后，我们就可以准备好克服我们在人生道路上遇到的各种难题。

and i even dream about what the life will be when we are on planets other than our earth.甚至我还梦想着在地球外的其它星球上生活将会是怎样的。that is why i’m so interested in the following scientific report recently.所以最近我对下面这篇科学报道非常感兴趣。二.演讲部分：
在我们享受的时候懂得珍惜 cherish what we are enjoying it is a report about the new planet which holds possibility for life.发现了一颗有生命可能性的星球的报告。
it shows that european astronomers have discovered a new planet, they name it gliese 581 c.说欧洲天文学家们发现了一颗新的星球，代号为“gliese 581c”。it is about 20.5 light years from our earth.they estimated the planet's average temperature at between 0 and 40 degrees centigrade.it is orbiting the red dwarf star, gliese 581.它距地球约20.5光年。他们估计它的平均温度约在0℃～40℃之间。它围绕着红矮星gliese 581运行。
most important of all, it’s an earth-like planet.there might be mountin, sea and liquid water.最重要的是，这颗星球和地球非常相似，它可能有山峦，有海洋，还有液态水。
so the astronomers believe that it is potentially habitable.所以科学家们相信它能支持生命的存在。
however, gliese 581 c might be ”tidally locked" to it’s sun-the dwarf star the way our moon is to the earth.然而，就像月球一样，它只会公转，不会自转。
it means that it must always show its same face to its sun, and that while one side would be too fiercely hot to support life, the other side would be too cold.这就意味着它面对红矮星的一面会太热不适合生命体而背对红矮星的一面则会很寒冷。
this report makes me to realize that how valuable our earth is.这使我认识到我们地球有多么珍贵！everyday, we can see sunrise and sunset.我们每天都可以看到日出日落。
the day and night keeps on exchanging.it’s not too hot in the daytime while not to cold at night.一天早晚有变化，昼夜不停地交换使白天不过分热，夜晚不过分冷。
everyday, i go to school cheerfully in the morning and skip along at the way home as the sun set.清爽的早晨，我可以背着小书包高高兴兴地去上学。夕阳西下，我又蹦又跳地回到家。
we could experience changes through the four seasons of one year.一年四季有变化。
spring is the season sowing seeds.it is pregnant with life and green.春天是播种的季节，充满了生机和绿色。
in the summer, colorful swimming suits frolick in the water happily.夏天五顔六色的游泳衣在水里欢快地嬉戏。
autumn is the harvest season , the paddy fields and trees are covered with golden color.秋天是丰收的季节，金黄铺满了稻田洒满了枝头。
in the winter，we can have snow battle, playing to our hearts' content in the world of silvery white.冬天我们打着雪仗，尽情地在银白色的世界里玩耍。how fortunate we are because we can live on the earth!能生活在地球上,我们是多么地幸运啊。
we should cherish it, instead of polluting it, spoiling it or even destroying it.我们要珍惜它，千万别污染它，别糟践它，别破坏它！if one day, it is really angry and stop rotation, that will have be a disaster for us human being.如果有那么一天，它真的生了气停止了自转，那将是我们整个人类的巨大灾难。
so, let us protect our earth with our love, making it better and more harmonious.所以，让我们大家用自己的爱来好好保护宇宙中这颗唯一的地球
吧，使它更美好更合谐。
三．才艺表演
ladies and gentlemen, now let me show you a story about the monkey and the moon.先生们女士们，现在我给大家表演一个关于猴子与月亮的故事。猴子捞月的故事：
one day, a little monkey is playing by the well.一天，有只小猴子在井边玩儿。he looks in the well and shouts : 它往井里一瞧，高喊道：
“oh!my god!the moon has fallen into the well!”“噢！我的天！月亮掉到井里头啦！” an older monkeys runs over, takes a look, and says, 一只大猴子跑来一看，说，“goodness me!the moon is really in the water!” “糟啦！月亮掉在井里头啦！” and the oldest monkey es over.老猴子也跑过来。
he is very surprised as well and cries out: 他也非常惊奇，喊道： “the moon is in the well.” “糟了，月亮掉在井里头了！” a group of monkeys run over to the well.

our every sensory nerve.so concerning that much sentiment music can express, i believe it is music that has gathered different parts of the world together, spanning both time and space gaps.furthermore, people nowadays don’t just use music simply for regulating the atmosphere or something like that.in psychology especially psychophysiology, music has been explored quite a lot for its effects on human’s brain, either for treatment or training skills.to sum up, i don’t think it’s improper to exaggerate a bit that life without music is just like a fish living without water.indeed, with respect to all the colorful feelings music brings as well as the instrumental influence that music exerts on us, music, is the that has changed the world.
第二篇：全国英语演讲比赛冠军演讲稿
第八届“21世纪·爱立信杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军-上海外国语大
学顾秋蓓演讲稿
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(调查)about
mountain 3)gorillas(大猩猩).These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world;this put them severely under threat of 4)poaching(偷猎)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 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(永恒的)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.
第三篇：Crossing the Sea-第三届英语演讲比赛冠军
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.The title of my speech today is “Crossing the Sea”.An Englishpoet by the name of Rudyard Kipling once wrote in this poem “We and They”：
All the people like us are We
and everyone else is They
We live over the sea
While They live over the way
We eat pork and beef with cow horn-handled knives
They who gobble their rice off a leaf
Are horrified out of their lives.When these lines first caught my eyes, I was shocked--how could two people remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past? Today´s society, of course, is an entirely different picture.Those people who used to eat with gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.Indeed, just take China as example;Our modern life has been influenced by Western style of livingin so many ways that it´s no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at McDonald´s and even rather elderly people dressed in Apple Jeans.However, these are only some expressions of the cultural changes taking place in our society today.What is really going on is a subtle but significant restructuring of the nation´s mentality.Just lookaround.How many college graduates are ready to compete aggressively for every job opportunity, whereasnot long ago they were asked just to sit idle and wait for whatever was to be assigned to them by thegovernment?
How many young people are now eager to seek for an independent life whereas only two decades agothey would rely totally on their parents to arrange for their future? Ask anyone who participates intoday´s speech contest.Who has not come with a will to fight and who has not come determined to achieve self-fulfillment in winning the game? And I´m quite certain that if Confucius had lived to see today´s China, he would have been horrified to see young lovers kissing each other in public places in an unreserved expression of their passion.It is therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient Eastern civilization are alreadyliving under strong influence of the Western culture.But it is not only in China that we find theincorporation of the two cultures.Take the United States as an example: During the 1980s, in face of the overwhelming competition fromJapan, many American companies such as the Ford began to adopt a teamwork management from their rivals,the essence of which, lay at the very core of
Eastern culture.Take the Chinese acupuncture as another example: This traditional treatment of diseases is finallyfinding its way to the West and hence the underlying notion that illness is resulted from the imbalance between yin and yang within the body--an idea which would strike any Westerner asincredible in the past!
Ladies and Gentlemen, we live in a great epoch when the global integration of economy and theinformation revolution have brought cultures of the world closer than ever before.We live in a particular era when countries, East and West, find themselves in need of readjusting their traditionalvalues.We live, at the same time, at a critical juncture of our evolution because such problems asethnic conflicts and regional unrest are increasingly posing a threat to the peace and happiness of thewhole human race.To cope with such an era and to embrace an even brighter future, we need to learn to live more harmoniously in a world community which is becoming smaller and smaller.My dear fellow students, our command of the English language render sit possible for us to gain aninsight into Western culture while retaining our own cultural identity.Therefore, it is our sacred responsibility to promote the cultural exchanges and hence the mutual understanding between China and the rest of the world.It is my happiest dream that new generation of Chinese will not only grow up drinking Coca cola andwatching Hollywood, but also be blessed with the far-reaching benefits of multiple cultures;benefitsthat our forefathers had never, ever dreamed of.To end my speech, I would like to quote Rudyard Kipling again:
All the people like us are We
And everyone else is They
But once you cross over the sea
You will end by looking on We
As only a sort of They.Thank you!
第四篇：全国英语演讲比赛冠军得主演讲稿
全国英语演讲比赛冠军得主演讲稿
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:
GLOBALIZATION:
OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES
FOR CHINA'S YOUNGER GENERATION
Thirty years ago, American President Richard Nixon made an epoch-making visit to China, a country still isolated at that time.Premier Zhou Enlai said to him, “Your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world—twenty-five years of no
communication”.Thirty years since, China and America have exchanged many handshakes.The fundamental implication of this example is that the need to communicate across differences in culture and ideology is not only felt by the two countries but by many other nations as well.As we can see today, environmentalists from different countries are making joint efforts to address the issue of global warming, economists are seeking solutions to financial crises that rage in a particular region but nonetheless cripple the world economy, and politicians and diplomats are getting together to discuss the issue of combating terrorism.Peace and prosperity has become a common goal that we are striving for all over the world.Underlying this mighty trend of global communication is the echo of E.M.Forster's words “Only connect!”
With the IT revolution, traditional boundaries of human society fall away.Our culture, politics, society and commerce are being sloshed into one large melting pot of humanity.In this interlinked world, there are no outsiders, for a disturbance
in one place is likely to impact other parts of the globe.We have begun to realize that a world divided cannot endure.China is now actively integrating into the world.Our recent entry to the WTO is a good example.For decades, we have taken pride in being self-reliant, but now we realize the importance of participating in and contributing to a broader economic order.From a precarious role in the world arena to our present WTO membership, we have come a long way.But what does the way ahead look like? In some parts of the world people are demonstrating against globalization.Are they justified, then, in criticizing the globalizing world? Instead of narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, they say, globalization enables the developed nations to swallow the developing nations' wealth in debts and interest.Globalization, they argue, should be about a common interest in every other nation's economic health.We are reminded by Karl Marx that capital goes beyond national borders and eludes control from any other entity.This has become a reality.Multinational corporations are seeking the lowest cost, the largest market, and the most favourable policy.They are often powerful lobbyists in government decision-making, ruthless
expansionists in the global market and a devastating presence to local businesses.For China, still more challenges exist.How are we going to ensure a smooth transition from the planned economy to a market-based one? How to construct a legal system that is sound enough and broad enough to respond to the needs of a dynamic society? How to maintain our cultural identity in an increasingly homogeneous world? And how to define greatness in our rise as a peace-loving nation? Globalization entails questions that concern us all.Like many young people my age in China, I want to see my country get prosperous and enjoy respect in the international community.But it seems to me that mere patriotism is not just enough.It is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking and broaden our mind to bigger issues.There might never be easy answers to those issues such as globalization, but to take them on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way.This is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech.
第五篇：全国英语演讲比赛冠军
初中版low-carbon life
开场白：Good morning, my dear teachers and classmates.My name is Qin Zebang.I’m happy to stand here and I’m honored to give a speech.My topic is Protect the environment and live a low-carbon life.正文：
Now I want to talk about a beautiful world!I always dream that I could live in a beautiful country.There are many flowers and trees around our city.We could hear the birds singing and see the children dancing.The streets are clear and the air is very fresh!How nice it is!But that is only a dream of mine!The reality is that nearly everyday we could see traffic jam because more and more people are using private cars which polluted the air much.We seldom enjoy the fresh air because we always stay in the air-conditioned rooms..Everyone should make ato protect the environment.Taking care of our environment is very important.No matter where we live, we can do something around our neighborhood.Have you ever thrown any litter onto the ground? Have you ever drawn pictures on public walls? Have you ever cut down trees? If your answers are “No”, it means that you have already helped protect our environment.It is our duty to keep our environment clean and tidy.You might ask yourself, “Have I ever picked up some rubbish and thrown it into a dustbin? Have I ever collected waste paper or bottles for recycling?

A Scene to Remember
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:
Today I would like to begin with a story.There was once a physical therapist who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a census about mountain gorillas.These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world;this put them severely under threat of 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 cuddled their babies.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。
Yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called Gorillas in the Mist, based on a true story of Mrs.Diana Fossey, who spent most of her lifetime in Rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.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。
To me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our eco-environment.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。
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 occurbig notes, small notes or even coins-from housewives, plumbers, ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and invalids.Some of them cannot 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.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。
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 be remembered, a scene to recall and to cherish.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。
The other night, as I 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 something else, someplace else, a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seemed to have been except the deer.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。
And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's time for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.Once again, I have come to think of Mrs.Diana Fossey because it is with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.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。
And no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our minds, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.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。Thank you very much.The rhythm of life 第十五届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军李亿演讲稿
Ladies and Gentlemen:
How well are we in tune with the rhythm of life? In our busy day to day existence, we don’t often stop to ask ourselves this question.At least I don’t.And it wasn’t until I joined a competitive sporting event that I learned a most important lesson – we must place our mind in harmony with the natural order of things to be successful.Let me tell you what happened.I decided to take part in an International Marathon in my hometown last year.Being an ambitious person, I hoped to finish it within 5 hours, accompanied by my friend with whom I had trained.The big day finally arrived.“Ready...set...bang” And we were off.At first, we kept a rapid pace and ran nonstop.At this pace, we finished the first 20 kilometers in 2 hours and I thought running a marathon was a piece of cake.Then my running mate began to slow down.I urged him to keep running at the same pace but he said no, he wanted to conserve his energy.I felt I had partnered with the wrong person;therefore, I sprinted on and left him behind in the dust.A few kilometers later, I began to understand his strategy as my pace slowed to a jog then a walk.After that I was incapable of moving another step.I was humiliated as more and more people ran passed me.More than once I thought “Maybe I should quit.” I started to doubt my ability to finish this race.At this moment, my running mate caught up with me and slapped me on the back.“Follow me,” he shouted.He had balanced his marathon pace and was encouraged me to do the same.For the rest of this grueling contest, we walked, jogged, ran a few miles, and walked again.Slowly, painfully but hopefully this time, we established the most suitable pace within the natural flow of our physical capabilities.Eventually we accomplished our first Marathon of 42 kilometers in 4 and half hours.I asked myself, what did this marathon mean to me? My Marathon experience became an influential metaphor for my life about how we must learn to pace ourselves in everything, by being in tune with the rhythm of life.Like the tide that ebbs and flows, we must listen to advice but make our own decisions.Like the show at dawn and dusk, we must learn to balance pride and modesty.And from the way the wind can both shout and whisper, we must learn when to be strong and when to be gentle, for everything moves in its own rhythm and its own yin and yang elements.It is the interaction of these complementary extremes that produces harmony, as Laozi said, extremes meet.Since the marathon, this notion of two opposite forces working together has been my running partner, so to speak.Yin and yang exist everywhere, constantly interacting, and never existing in an absolute condition.Ladies and Gentlemen, life is like running a marathon, let us discover, define and develop a natural rhythm of life, in order to achieve both harmony and success.Thank you for listening．
