life life isnt about keeping score.its not about how many friends you have or how accepted you are.not about if you have plans this weekend or if youre alone.it isnt about who youre dating, who you used to date, how many people youve dated, or if you havent beem with anyone at all.it isnt about who you have kissed.its not about se-x.it isnt about who your family is or how much money they have or what kind of car you drive.or where you are sent to school.its not about how beautiful or ugly you are.or what clothes you wear, what shoes you have on, or what kind of music you listen to.its not about if your hair is blonde, red, black, or brown or if your skin is too light or too dark.not about what grades you get, how smart you are, how smart everybody else thinks you are, or how smart standardized tests say you are.its not about representing your whole being on a piece of pa-pe-r and seeing who will accept the written you.life just isnt but, life is about who you love and who you hurt.its about who you make happy or unhappy purposefully.its about keeping or betraying trust.its about friendship, used as a sanctity or a weapon.its about what you say and what you mean, maybe hurtful, maybe heartening.about starting rumors and contributing to petty gossip.its about what judgments you paand why.and who your judgement arespread to.its about who youve ignored with full control and intention.its about jealousy, fear, ignorance, and revenge.its about carrying inner hate and love, letting it grow, and spreading it.but most of all, its about using your life to touch or poison other peoples hearts in such a way that could have never occurred alone.only you choose the way those hearts are affected, and those choices are what lifes all about.以上是人生的。篇三：高一英语演讲稿范文

高一英语演讲稿范文

what is friendship? it is to relate with somebody without need for money or objective.it is to need emotion and over wealth is friendship , no matter what their background , age , *** or personality.it is a wonderful feeling, as the proverb says to love each other is easy but to make frieds is hard, so, it is crutial that we should get along with our friends.in my opinon ,it is a shame to deceive your friends.the world would be more beautiful if it was full of filled with friendship 翻译:友谊是什么？友谊是一种不需要钱或者物质来维持的人与人之间的关系。无论人们的背景 年龄 性别或者个性怎样，友谊的维系需要感情多过财富。

友谊应该是纯洁的。然而，现今我们常常听到的是一个人怎样被他的朋友所欺骗。许多人与人走近是因为他们拥有很多的金钱。而这是否是真正的友谊令人怀疑。

通过交朋友，一个人会感到快乐。如果你有麻烦，你的朋友会帮助你，至少会支持鼓励你。当你开心时，他们会与你分享。他们会在任何时候倍你聊天。

正如谚语说的：爱别人是容易的，但与人交朋友是困难的，这是一种奇妙的感觉。所以，与我们的朋友走近是相当重要的。我认为欺骗朋友是可耻的。如果这个世界充满友谊，那么这个世界将会更加美丽。篇四：中学生英语演讲稿6篇

Fame—Good or Evil When talking about fame , many people will list its advantages or disadvantages firstly.Very often ,people say that fame can bring celebrity and regards to one and more importantly ,it can help one attract public attention.While other people say that fame is evil for it can make one trapped in it and then destroy his life.However ,does fame itself do these good or bad stuffs ?Maybe our attitudes towards it make the differences.I want to tell you a story that I have known.One afternoon ,the owner of a suit was in a bad mood because he didn’t sell any suit in the whole day.A man went to the store.The owner saw that luck was on his side.He introduced suit carefully and hoped the man could take it.Disppointingly ,he knew that he may lose an opportunity to make a deal unless he use strategy to impress his customer.But he was tired and didn’t want to force the man to leave.As a result ,he passed his business card before the man got out of store.The man read the name printed on the card and said “Chars Walker ,you are the son of Chars.Your father was a good man.I believe you too.Please introduce the suit again.”Finally ,the owner made a big deal.He was so excited that he immediately called his father.His father told him peacefully that it was satisfactory that he had nothing to be left but good reputation.Of course ,every coin has two sides ,and so does fame.Only if we have right attitudes towards fame will we purchase good reputation in order to live a happy life.Fame brings us not only the attention of public but the distinguished reputation which can make the differences on later generations.Above all ,fame play a significant role in one’s life.That’s all what I want to say.Thanks for listening.

第五篇：高中生英语演讲：广告语

language in advertisement

as everybody can see, advertisement has permeated almost every possible area of the world.besides the beautiful pictures and the famous movie or singing stars in the advertisement, language, by all means, is the most important sign vehicle of the verbal part of the advertisement.studying the language in advertisement can always reflect how it affects our modern life.here is a real story that once happened in my math class.mr.yang, our math teacher, wanted to know whether we had understood the main purpose of solving the problem.so he asked us seriously: “our aim is?” in no time, almost everyone replied together: “no decayed teeth!” we burst out laughing then because it was well-known that “our aim is no decayed teeth!” was the language in a toothpaste advertisement!it is just a joke, however it proves the language in advertisement really influences our daily life.obviously, the advertisement aims to attract the customers’ attention and to promote sales.a successful advertisement must be apt at creating beautiful image by means of creative language expressions.in this case, there’s no doubt that this advertisement for the toothpaste has achieved this aim.and the possibility that we will buy this brand of toothpaste increases as we can easily remember the vivid language in the advertisement while standing in front of the goods shelves.generally speaking, based on many novel methods, advertisement language has acquired distinctive features: conciseness, vividness and uniqueness.it does make our daily life more colorful and interesting.just as another advertisement goes: “the world is a much better place because of you!”

广告语

正像每个人所看到的，广告几乎已经渗透到世界的每一个角落。除了美丽的画面和著名的歌星影星，语言当然是广告在表情达意中有声部分最重要的。研究广告中的语言常常能反映出它在怎样影响着我们的现代生活。

这是一个曾经发生在我们数学课上的真实故事。我们的杨老师想知道我们是否明白了做这道题的主要目的，于是他严肃地问道：“我们的目标是?”话音刚落，几乎所有人齐声答道：“没有蛀牙!”我们爆笑起来，因为大家都知道“我们的目标是——没有蛀牙!”是一个牙膏广告中的广告语!这仅仅是一个玩笑，然而它却证明了广告语的确在影响着我们每天的生活。

很显然，广告的目的在于吸引顾客的注意从而提高销量。一个成功的广告必须更恰当地通过有创意的广告语来构造完美的形象。从这一点上说，上面这则牙膏的广告无疑就达到了这样的目的。当我们站在货架前，购买这个牌子的牙膏的可能性便大大增加，因为我们很容易记起它生动的广告语。

总而言之，运用许多新颖的方法，广告语有了仅属于它的特色：简洁、生动、独特。它确实让我们的生活变得更加多彩有趣，正像另一句广告语所说：“世界因你更精彩!”
