Depression ----TED演讲英语口语提高

第一篇：Depression ----TED演讲英语口语提高

Depression For a long time in my life,I felt like I’d been living two different lives.There’s the life that everyone sees,and then there’s the life that only I see.And in the life that everyone sees ,who I am is a friend,a son,a brother,a stand-up comedian and a teenager.That’s the life everyone sees.If you were to ask my friends and family to describe me,that’s what they would tell you.And that’s a huge part of me.That is who I am.And if you were to ask me to describe myself,I’d probably say some of those same things.And I wouldn’t be lying,but I wouldn’t totally be telling you the truth ,either,because the truth is that’s just the life everyone else sees.In the life that only I see ,who I am ,who I really am,is someone who struggles intensely with depression.I have for the last six years of my life,and I continue to every day.Now for someone who never experienced depression or doesn’t really know what that means,that might surprise them to hear,because there’s this pretty popular misconception that depression is just being sad,when something in your life goes wrong,when you break up with your girlfriend,when you lose a loved one,when you don’t get the job you wanted.But that’s sadness.That’s a natural thing.That’s a natural human emotion.Real depression isn’t being sad when something in your life goes wrong.Real depression is being sad when everything in your life is going right.That’s real depression ,and that’s what I suffer from.And to be totally honest,that’s hard for me to stand here and say.It’s hard for me to talk about,and it seems to be hard for everyone to talk about,so much so that no one’s talking about it.And no one’s talking about depression ,but we need to be,because right now it’s a massive problem.It’s a massive problem.But we don’t see it on social media ,right?We don’t see it on Facebook.We don’t see it on Twitter.We don’t see it on the news,because it’s not happy,it’s not fun,it’s not light.And because we don’t see it ,we don’t see the severity of it.But the severity of it and the seriousness of it is this:every 30 seconds,every 30 seconds,somewhere,someone in the world takes their own life because of depression,and it maybe two blocks away,it might be two countries away,it might two continents away,but it’s happening and happening every single day.And we have a tendency ,as a society,to look at that and go,“So what?”So what？We look at that ,and we go ,“That’s your problem.”“That’s their problem.”We say we’re sad,and we say we’re sorry,but we also say so what.Well,two years ago it was my problem,because I sat on the edge of my bed where I sat a million times before and I was suicidal.I was suicidal,and if you were to look at my life on the surface,you wouldn’t see a kid who was suicidal.You’d see a kid who was the captain of his basketball team,the drama and theater student of the year,the English student of the year,someone who was consistently on the honor roll and consistently at every party.So you would say I wasn’t depressed ,you would say I wasn’t suicidal,but you would be wrong.You would be wrong ,so I sat there that night beside a bottle of pills with a pen and paper in my hand and I thought about taking my own life and I came this close to doing it.I came this close to doing it.And I didn’t ,so that makes me one of the lucky ones,one of the people who gets to step out on the ledge and look down but not jump,one of the lucky ones who survives.Well,I survived ,and that just leaves me with my story,and my story is this:In four simple words ,I suffer from depression.I suffer from depression,and for a long time ,I think,I was living two totally different lives,where one person was always afraid of the other.I was afraid of that people would see me for who I really was,that I wasn’t the perfect ,popular kid in high school everyone thought I was,that beneath my smile ,there was struggle, and beneath my light,there was dark,and beneath my big personality just hid even big pain.So some people might fear girls not liking them back.Some people might fear sharks.Some people might fear death.But for me ,for a large part of my life ,I feared myself.I feared my truth,I feared my honesty,I feared my vulnerability,and that fear made me feel like I was forced into a corner,like I was forced into a corner and there was only one way out,and so I thought about that way every single day.I thought about it every single day,and if I’m being totally honest,standing here.I’ve thought about it again since,because that’s the sickness,that’s the struggle ,that’s the depression,and depression isn’t chicken pox.You don’t beat it once and it’s gone forever.It’s something you live with.It’s something you live in.It’s the roommate you can’t kick out.It’s the voice you can’t ignore.It’s the feelings you can’t seem to escape,the scariest part is that after a while,you become numb to it.It becomes normal for you,and what you really fear the most isn’t the suffering inside of you.It’s the stigma inside if others,it’s the shame,it’s the embarrassment,it’s the disapproving look on a friend’s face,it’s the whispers in the hallway that you’re weak,it’s the comments that you’re crazy.That’s what keeps you from getting help.That’s what makes you hold it in and hide it.It’s the stigma.So you hold it in and you hide it,and you hold it in and you hide it,and even though it’s keeping you in bed every day and it’s making your life feel empty no matter how much you try and fill it,you hide it,because the stigma in our society around depression is very real.It’s very real,and if you think that it isn’t ,ask yourself this:Would you rather make your next Facebook status say you’re having a tough time getting out of bed because you hurt your back or you’re having a tough time getting out of bed every morning because you’re depressed?That’s the stigma,because unfortunately,we live in a world where if you break your arm,everyone runs over to sign your cast,but if you tell people you’re depressed ,everyone runs the other way.That’s the stigma.We’re so,so,so accepting of any body part breaking down other than our brains.And that’s ignorance.That’s pure ignorance,and that ignorance has created a world that doesn’t understand depression,that doesn’t understand mental health.And that’s ironic to me ,because depression is one of the best documented problems we have in the world,yet it’s one of the least discussed.We just push it aside and put it in a corner and pretend it’s not there and hope it’ll fix itself.Well,it won’t ,it hasn’t,and it’s not going to,because that’s wishful thinking,and wishful thinking isn’t a game plan,it’s procrastination,we can’t procrastinate on something this important.The first step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one.Well,we haven’t done that,so we can’t really expect to find an answer when we’re still afraid of the question.And I don’t know what the solution is.I wish I did,but I don’t---but I think,I think it has to start here.It has to start with me ,it has to start with you,it has to start with the people who are suffering,the ones who are hidden in the shadows.We need to speak up and shatter the silence.We need to be the ones who are brave for what we believe in,because if there’s one thing that I’ve come to realize,if there’s one thing that I see as the biggest problem,it’s not in building a world where we eliminate the ignorance of others.It’s in building a world where we teach the acceptance of ourselves,where we’re okay with who we are,because when we get honest,we see that we all struggle and we all suffer.Whether it’s with this,whether it’s with something else,we all know what it is to hurt.We all know what it is to have pain in our heart,and we all know how important it is to heal.But right now,depression is society’s deep cut that we’re content to put a Band-Aid over and pretend it’s not there.Well,it is there.It is there,and you know what?It’s okay.Depression is okay.If you’re going through it ,know that you’re okay.And know that you’re sick,you’re not weak,and it’s an issue,not an identity,because when you get past the fear and the ridicule and the judgment and the stigma of others,you can see depression for what it really is,and that’s just a part of life,just a part of life ,and as much as I hate,as much as I hate some of the places,some of the parts of my life depression has dragged me down to,in a lot way I’m grateful for it.Because yeah,it’s put me in the valleys,but only to show me there’s peaks,and yeah it’s dragged me through the dark but only to remind me there is light.My pain ,more than anything in 19 years on this planet,has given me perspective ,and my hurt,my hurt has forced me to have hope,have hope and to have faith ,faith in myself,faith in others,faith that it can get better,that we can change this,that we can speak up and speak out and fight back against ignorance,fight back against ignorance,and more than anything,learn to love ourselves,learn to accept ourselves for who we are,the people we are,not the people the world wants us to be.Because the world I believe in is one where embracing your light doesn’t mean ignoring your dark.The world I believe in is one where we’re measured by our ability to overcome adversities,not avoid them.The world I believe in is one where I can look someone in the eye and say ,”I’m going through hell”and they can look back at me and go ,”Me too,”and that’s okay,and it’s okay because depression is okay.We’re people.We’re people,and we struggle and we suffer and we bleed and we cry,and if you think that true strength ,means never showing any weakness,then I’m here to tell you you’re wrong.You’re wrong,because it’s the opposite.We’re people,and we have problems.We’re not perfect ,and that’s okay.So we need stop the ignorance,stop the intolerance,stop the stigma,and stop the silence,and we need to take away the taboos,take a look at the truth,and start talking,because the only way we’re going to beat a problem that people are batting alone is by standing strong together,by standing strong together.And I believe that we can.I believe that we can.Thank you guys so much.

第二篇：英语口语提高

我高一的时候英语过了大学四级 那个时候还是100分 我考了86分

高二的时候考了雅思9分满分我7.5自认为是个小小的英语达人~

所以我下面说的都是我自己的亲身经历和我的感触 希望你能细心耐心的把它们看完。如果你能真正做到我告诉你的，绝对可以提高英语成绩。

下面分板块写

1.教材问题

很多人都问,英语教材那么多我到底用什么啊!

新教材每年都在出,老的教材也都在改版,我到底用什么啊~~

那么我以我的学习经历告诉你,经典的就是好用的.语言是一个长期积累的文化沉淀,在十几年内不可能有很大很大的改动,除了潮语in语的增加与丰富(别管这些,很多外国爸爸妈妈都不懂孩子在说什么 咱还是先学清楚基本的),语言的体系是不会变的.所以我说 老的经典胜过大造噱头的新书.<疯狂英语>就是典型的垃圾,那个就是洗脑,而且对英语没有什么帮助

首先我给你推荐几个比较好的教材吧～

1.《Look listen learn》（看听学）

这个是英语权威教材《新概念英语》的编者L.G.Alexanda编写的另外一套轻松易懂却又非常实用的教材，一共有四册，其中第四册的难度大约是新概念的第三册和第二册的难度。可不要小看这本书哦，这套书采用了大量的对话，可以完美的训练你的口语、语感、听力等等而且这本书中对语法的诠释一点都不含糊！非常好！这是国内许多外国语学校采用的入门级教材。

2.《new concept English》

如果你没有听说过新概念就太……

新概念作为英语教材的龙头老大，绝对是有他风靡数十年的魅力所在的。而且新概念的配套自学辅导丛书、测试题等等教辅都有很完善的配套。绝对可以满足你的需要的哦

3.《Look Ahead》（展望未来）

这本书是走遍美国的英国妈妈版了。可以说走遍美国就是由于受到这套教材的启发才编写出来的。展望未来是到底的英式发音，并且也是及其贴近英国民俗的一套教材。强化四会技能，也配有教师用书、学生练习册等等。是许多外国语学校的高级教材

4.《走遍美国》

这个也很经典，也是采用了大量的视频图片等等提供了一个全外国的氛围。

5.词汇书里面我比较喜欢的是剑桥《剑桥英语在用初/中/高级词汇》

还有《Tower press的英语词汇系列丛书》 语法书里面《剑桥英语在用初/中/高级语法》总之英语在用系列都不错

剑桥出版社的哦～～

这些教材都是属于长久型的培养教材，是属于从根本提升你的英语能力的教材。俗话说授人以鱼不如授人以渔。这些教材能从本质上提高你的英语四会技能。

下面谈谈学习

2.听力与口语方面

我就混在一起说了因为这两个是相辅相成的.我们经常说听说听说,听力和口语是分不开的.只有你口语发音准确,知道单词的正确发音,你的耳朵才能在第一时间里面正确接受到对方的信息,准确捕获这个词...所以对于很多对于英语听力非常苦恼的朋友来说,其实英语听力的瓶颈不是在于听力.而是在于-----口语！!而且尤其是你的单词发音是否标准....举个很简单的例子.horizen 这个词的发音音标应该是/he'raizen/但是很多人都发成/'horizen/ 那么你脑中有个错误的期待,怎么可能捕捉到那个正确的单词呢?!在当你苦苦的等待你脑海中期待的那个单词的时候,正确的单词早就飞过去了.....所以,我推荐你买本专业训练听力的书,分三步来做.书随便什么都可以啦~你要是想要我给你推荐的话.英语初级/中级/高级听力不错

第一步.按照书上的要求来听.只要把题目作出来即可.部要求你全部听懂,只要求你听关键词.第二步

题目答案全部对完以后,把书仍在一边.重听这个dialogue,或者独白也好....你自己反复听(但是不可以按暂停哦~)听懂每个句子

第三步！！

做听写.最好中途不要按暂停.把你多听几遍(最好三遍以内)能把整个文章写出来,再与听力原文做对比~~~

然后再回过去看你的题目,看看你的题目都会不会做了...如此只要你能够坚持每天听三篇 坚持听两周,绝对有突飞猛进的进步....还有就是活用一些词的生僻含义，比如immediate，把它活用成为紧跟 会使你的英语增色不少。例如she is immediatly after me.4.实战

如果你面临考试

针对你的临考状态，我建议你买本考试真题回来。中国人有中国人应付考试的办法。我建议你把历年X考的英语题目按顺序做一个纵向的比较，规律很明显，比如说我们湖北省的中考英语选择题第一题是冠词第二题是动词的过去式等等，有套路的。把你们的历年的X考题目搜集起来，纵向比较以后绝对可以找到你以后主攻的方向。

做完了纵向比较就是横向比较了。这个需要你搜集你的错题。错题本是必不可少的东西，能让你明白你的弱势强势各在何处。

如果你是准备国外考试的话.一样的道理.雅思有雅思的听力机经

托福有托福的技巧~~~

可以上各大网站去搜索这些

好了 飞机上有蛇 这部电影里面有句话是这样说的~“听我的话 包你活命”(Do what I say, and you live)我也要说 听我的话 保你过关(Do what I say, and you pass)

加油哦 不懂的来问我好了

有好多事想告诉你，不过不确定应该从哪里开始。也许你不记得我，不过没有关系。这些都是我想说的话，而且都是认真的，并且等着你在不经意间对我微笑。

你知道么，有个人时时想念你，惦念你?你含笑的眼睛，像星光闪闪，缀在我的心幕，夜夜闪亮。

遇见你是命运的安排，而爱上你是我的情不自禁。你是我的一切，我是如此幸运，上帝让你来到我的身边。

没有杯子，咖啡是寂寞的，没有你，我是孤独的。没有你的日子，就像一本没有书页的书。我会想你，在漫漫长路的每一步。

第五篇：英语口语演讲

1.1.)In your opinion, what is a materialist? What is an idealist? Which one do you think you are and why?

Materialist usually shows great interest in material possessions such as money and wealth than in spiritual matters such as art and knowledge.Idealism refers to the quality or habit of living according to one’s ideals, high principles and perfect standards.They sometimes live in a way that is impractical or show a lack of the real world.As far as I am concern, I am a materialist.As we live in a materialistic society, we are trained from our earliest years to be acquisitive.Our possessions are clearly labeled from our childhood.It does not surprise when we grow up, the money you earn is the sign of success.People around us keep telling us, try your best to study hard, go to a good colleague, so that you can find a good job and get a high salary.I follow what they said.So I am a materialist now.We can’t enjoy our life by dreaming all day.If we want to gain sth, we must try to do sth.I still remember when I was a child, I want to earn a lot of money, so that I can travel around the world, enjoy the good food and beautiful scenery and fashionable cloth, now I am trying my best to achieve it, with all my efforts.You see, I won’t sitting all day and dreaming about my future, I take some actions.Actions speak louder than words, nothing will change without taking actions.As the says going, if we want to make our dreams cometrue, the first thing you should do is wake up.2.)How do you think society looks at the roles between men and women? Do you think each gender has specific roles? Or do you believe that men and women are equal?

Men and women are created to be equal, and thus they should be treated equally In many countries in the world, women are being looked down upon.It is more difficult for them to get work than men.In order to get a job, they sometimes have to tell a lie.That's unfair.In fact, women can work no worse even better than men.Women should not be treated different from men,according to statistics, there is no basic difference between the standard and quality of work performed by men and women who do the same work.This is an unfair fact: most of the top position in society, like company directors, judges, university professors, etc.are occupied by men.Women should no longer be treated as the inferior sex.They should stand side by side with men and define their roles in society, in which they can choose to work outside or stay at home and in which they will have more time to develop their own interests.Women should be given an equal chance of education in order to compete with men.Men should also take an equal share in housework so as to liberate women from kitchen.It is unreasonable for authorities to refuse to promote capable women to important position, just because they have children to bring up.In a word.Men and women shouldn’t be treated differently as they are born to be equal.3.)What do you think is the most important thing in a job interview? How should you appear and act when in an interview?

interview provides employers opportunities to look for the proper persons to be competent to the positions.It plays an important role in the process of hiring.Although that is a challenge for everyone, we still can find out the rules partly.The most important thing in the interview are appearance and confidence.In a certain degree, appearance gives the interviewers the first impressions and, essentially, it influences the upcoming process.The way you behave and talk also affect the proceedings of interview.It will partly unveil your education level and the rough understanding of your personality.The job positions are provided for those people who can afford them, and that is why you need to perform that you have the ability to handle the job.Sometimes, we will face some special situations which needs specific resolutions.Your professional knowledge will be one of the hiring standards.Don't be afraid to be asked or answer the questions in the interview.You need to be self-confident in order to leave the better impression to the interviewers.Confidence is the key to success, confidence is powerful and convincing.If you can not be qualified for those standards, just admit that you can't do it.It's much better than be disclosed when you are working.4.)What is your opinion on honesty? Do you believe that you should be honest

all of the time, or is it ok to lie sometimes? Why?

What is honesty? Honesty means speaking the truth and being fair and upright in act..“Honesty is important because people have to trust you to be a friend,” “A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches”.Your name and reputation are all you have.Once they're gone, you're broke.honesty pays big dividends in the long run.However, over-zealous devotion to speaking one’s mind has more often led to hurt feelings and ruin relationships than to get joy and fulfillment.Sometimes it's best to keep your opinions to yourself.There are other situations that call for a candid response.People, as a rule, expect honesty out of others.Finding balance is key.We should learn how to be honest.1.Think before you speak.If what you are about to say will do more damage than good and could hurt someone's feelings, it might be best to remain silent.Ask yourself how you would feel if someone said it to you.2.Return extra change to clerks.Give back to people what you’ve owe them, and take care of your commitments.it is an important step in developing an honest character.3.Talk about yourself as much as you are willing to share with other people.An honest person does not make up stories about herself.Instead, she tells the truth.4.Tell yourself the truth.Always be honest with yourself.If you keep lying to yourself, your lies will catch up to you, and you will see the unwillingness and to face reality.5.Choose the people that you can trust to be totally honest with.Hopefully, you can tell anything to your spouse or partner.Trust is earned and it is OK to keep friendships superficial as long as you are honest with yourself.5.)What are the most important things a parent can teach a child? How can the parents have a negative and positive influence on their children?

Parents are our first teacher.We learn almost everything from them in our childhood.We follow what they’ve said and done.It’s no doubt that parents have great influence on us.However, parents, especially those of teenagers, care about their children＇s education more than anything else.They could do everything for their children.Many of them spend most of their spare time coaching their children in studies;those who have no time or cannot do it have hired tutors.Some also send their children to after-class schools.Some even have tried to improve their home environment.It seems as if a better education is all that parents expect for children.Certainly, it is good to see much of parents＇ attention is paid to children＇s education.However, in my opinion, emphasis should also be laid on fostering their other abilities and personal qualities.Of course, it is important to learn to succeed, but the first thing to learn is how to survive and how to be a qualified citizen.If this is included in good education that parents are seeking now, their children will be definitely ensured not only a bright future but also a sound intellectual and mental foundation, hence a healthy life.
