An Impressive Movie Boys and girls, good afternoon!Because I like watching movies very much, I will talk about a movie impressed me most with you.The movie is Stardust.I like the story in the movie very much.I think the story impressed me most in the movie.It is a story about how a boy becomes a man.The boy, Tristan Thorn, lived with his father when he was born.They lived in a village called Wall.There’s a wall that’s between human world and magical word.In fact, Tristan’s mother was a princess in the magical world.It’s a little mysterious for his parents to have a son.The mysterious things impressed me.However, what impressed me most were the adventures that Tristan took.He wanted to win the heart of a girl who was in the village.So he came to the magic world to find a star that fell from the sky.In the magic world, the star was a beautiful girl who loved Tristan so deeply.After going through so many difficulties with the star, Tristan found that he loved the star but not the girl in the village.And Tristan became a man finally.What I learnt form the movie was that we should have courage when we met difficulties, just like Tristan.In a word, it’s an impressive story about love, adventure, and magic.After watching the movie, you will be moved by it too.That’s all.Thank you!
Your Attitude Determines How High You Fly Good afternoon, everyone!I’m glad to stand here for my speech.Today I want to say that your attitude determines how high you fly.I want to share a story with you about this topic.As most of you know, I attended College Entrance Exams twice.In 2010,I was so crazy to prepare for the exam.I did all kinds of exercises repeatedly.I think it could have been possible for me to succeed if I had become a robot.So I became more and more unhappy.I had forgotten how to smile and laugh.I became more and more indifferent to everything.My friends stayed away from me one by one.I couldn’t sleep whole night before the exam.The result of the exam, you can image, was very bad.Could you fly with an indifferent and negative attitude to life? No.In 2011, after my failure, I learnt that I should live a different life with a different attitude.So I wasn’t indifferent to all anymore.To be more relaxed, I became more and more enthusiastic to others.I could smile and laugh again.Live a happy life with a positive attitude.After the examination in 2011,I was admitted into CCNU.I flew from SuiZhou to WuHan.I thought I made it.I believe that I will fly higher in the future because of the positive attitude to life.What I want to tell you via this story is that your attitude determines how high you fly.That’s all.Thank you!
IQ and EQ Good afternoon, everyone.Today my topic is IQ and EQ.First of all, please allow me to tell you a story.A few days ago, I got an invitation of a wedding.The bride is one of my friends.And the experience of their love is a little surprising.The bride is from HuBei province, and the bridegroom is from Guangdong province.They met and chatted in QQ, though they are from a long distance and don’t know the appearance and voice of each other at first.Finally they fell in love with each other and they will be married.In the era of QQ, there’s a lot of things of Q should be taken seriously, just like EQ.EQ is short for emotional quotient, also known as social IQ.If my friend and her bridegroom had no any EQ, I think their wedding would be nothing.So, attach importance to your EQ, and maybe some day will be your biggest decision in your life.There’s another story that I want to share with you.In the winter holiday, I found my elder brother had a business conference with his colleague and his boss in QQ.After the meeting, my brother told me that they had made a big deal with others.Besides my surprise, I admire their high IQ more.Of course, I admire the inventor of QQ the most.And there’s no doubt that the inventor has high IQ too.According to the encyclopedism, IQ is the abbreviation of Intelligence Quotient, standing for intelligence quotient.It’s an ability to use knowledge to solve practical problems.It’s not only possessed by social elites, like the inventor of QQ.As modern college students, we should improve our IQ too.As for the relation of IQ and EQ, I think they are so closed that they can’t be separated.Can you say that the bride and the bridegroom have high EQ and low IQ? NO!Can you say that the elites have high IQ and low EQ? NO!So, they go together and go interaction.It’s obviously that EQ IQ and QQ are all so important.Besides EQ IQ and all kinds of QQ, I think there are more things of Q should be found and valued.And we will be more successful if we possess these Qs.That’s all.Thank you!

Early Bird Gets the First Worm
Good morning everyone,today I’m here to give a speech about early bird gets the first worm,as we can see from the literal sense, it shows that we will be rewarded if we work early and hard,and we shouldn’t put off till tomorrow what should be done today.For example, English learning is a long-term process, if you deny it for several days, it’s OK,but if you always deny several days,you will deny much than you expect if we don’t work hard at usual,when the final exam is coming,we need much more time to study than others,and we can’t get a good grade even if we work so hard.However,such a phenomenon exists around us generally, personally,I’d like to be a early bird too,to be a early bird,I should have a plan about what to do,after all,you won’t be happy even you are entertaining with a lot of things undone.In addition,we need to learn how to resist temptation,that’s important.

1,Mention at least three reasons people get angry.What can we do to control our anger?
People tend to get angry when treated unfairly.Specifically, we may fly into a rage when we realize we were betrayed by a close friend or tricked by a clerk into buying something unnecessary at a high price.When people treat us with contempt, or deliberately ignore us, we may get annoyed.Also, the sight of injustice often fills us with indignation.For instance, when we see a child being bullied by a group of hoodlums, it makes our blood boil.To overcome our anger, we have two options: to fight or to run.In the case of a small offense, it's better to walk away and calm down.It is not necessary to explode at a slight provocation.However, when confronted with a gross injustice or a serious crime, we need to stand up for ourselves and speak our mind.After venting our anger, we may feel better.If we keep negative feelings to ourselves, we will probably feel miserable for a long time and regret not taking action.2,Why do people get depressed? Is there any connection between depression and bad luck? Can depression be overcome?
People feel blue for a variety of reasons.They feel depressed after failing an exam or losing a job.They feel grief when someone dear to them, for example a close family member, passes away.Suffering from a serious disease with little hope of a complete recovery, one may feel dejected.There seems to be a relationship between depression and bad luck.If your spirits are down and you show it, people might refrain from talking to you.Many good opportunities may slip away as a result.And you might be left wondering why your luck doesn't change.To cheer yourself up, you can study or work.Your mood might improve if you keep yourself busy and try to achieve goals.And if staying busy doesn't help, you can just wait for the sadness to go away.It is said that time heals all wounds.Finally, you might find solace in realizing.Your situation is not the worst.You can also choose to look at the bright side of things because every cloud has a silver lining.3,What makes you happy? Are you happy when others are happy?
The greatest pleasures seem to come from hard-won achievements.For example, if after a lot of hard work, you passed an important examination, finished a big project, or got a promotion, you would feel incredibly happy, right? Human happiness is not limited to one's good fortune or success.If you help someone in need, you'll probably feel wonderful.This accounts for the success of Project Hope, through which people volunteer time and donate money to help people in need.4,Is there a relationship between reason and emotion? Which plays a bigger role in our lives?
Both reason and emotion are important in our lives.Although they are obviously different from each other, they complement each other just the same.Think about it, it is difficult to isolate reason from emotion and vice versa.When one is arguing, one is combining logic with feelings.When a speaker is advocating a principle, the feeling he puts into his voice reinforces his argument.When scientists conduct researches, they may choose an area that is interesting to them.Darwin studied science because he had been fascinated by plants and animals since his childhood.However, in some areas either reason or emotion may play a bigger role.Science students may need more logic than emotion to conduct experiments, while art students tend to rely more on their emotion for creativity.Within a family, people usually cherish the emotional ties between family members.Emotion could be more
important than reason when falling in love or trusting a member of one's family, whereas reason plays an important role when deciding how to educate a child.Together or separate, reason and emotion play critically important roles in our lives.What do you think? Or feel? 1,In what ways can people improve their appearance?
Some people just want to improve their looks in small ways.They may go on a diet to maintain a good figure, use makeup to improve their appearance, put a facial mask or a skin soother on their faces during the night, have their teeth straightened, or have their nails polished.Some others have a face-lift to change their nose or chin, make their single-fold eyelids double folded, and have their skin tightened to smooth out wrinkles and crow's feet.Some even inject botox(肉毒素)to remove wrinkles.More drastically, some people may have liposuction to remove fat.2,Why do some people want to improve their appearance?
A love of beauty is part of human nature.People like to see beautiful scenery, flowers, and animals.It is not strange that they also want to look at good-looking humans and improve the way they look themselves.With improved features, one may find a better job, attract a more desirable spouse, and gain faster promotion.Some occupations attach great importance to appearance.Most actors, anchorpersons, and fashion models can be recognized by their looks.It is sometimes argued that by looking good, one tends to feel self-confident.With confidence, success is more likely to follow in any undertaking.3,What disadvantages are there in plastic surgery?
We should not attempt to change our physical appearance by cosmetic means.Such changes may bring unexpected disasters in the future.Some beautifying methods, if not properly applied, have dangerous side effects.People who receive botox injections to remove wrinkles may eventually ruin their skin.Some surgical operations that are intended to make single-fold eyelids double fold actually make them multi-folded--not what the patient had in mind.4,How can one strike a balance between buying clothes on a budget and yet having fashionable clothes to wear?
People who don't have much money can also make themselves look fashionable.There are many ways to buy fashionable clothes without spending much money.For example, people can buy clothes that are on sale or sold in discount stores.It's smart to buy winter clothes at the end of the winter.Clothes are cheaper at the end of a season and can be stored until the next season.Some people are good tailors, and they can alter their clothes to make them fashionable.They may even create original styles.1,Describe some superstitions in English-speaking countries.English-speaking nations have a number of superstitions.For example, many people believe 13 to be an unlucky number, and do not want to live on the 13th floor or in Room 13.They say “knock on wood” or “touch wood” to avoid bad luck.To wish somebody good luck, they may say “I'll cross my fingers for you.” Superstitious people avoid walking under a ladder or opening an umbrella in doors.When they see a black cat run across their path, they think it's a bad omen.Some people may hang a horseshoe over their door to ward off bad luck.If they happen to drop a mirror, they worry that they will have seven years' bad luck.To ensure good luck, they may carry a charm of some kind, such as a lucky rabbit's foot!
2,What is the relationship between one's attitude to life and one's fate? Does the former determine the latter or is it the other way round?
Since the world is complex and mysterious, it is not easy to arrive at a definite conclusion.Some scholars, including a British psychologist, suggest that there exists a correlation between one's attitude to life and one's fate.But more research is needed before we can be sure of such a correlation.Moreover, the cause-and-effect relationship has not been clearly identified, and we are uncertain which causes which.In real life we can find counter examples: Some optimistic people are not very lucky, while some pessimistic people are quite lucky.Perhaps we should try to find out which case is more frequent: optimistic people with good luck or optimistic people with bad luck.Judging from my personal observations, the former is more common.I can even supply the reason: Optimistic people have more self-confidence, which facilitates their success in life.A survey involving many people is required to discover what most people think about this issue.3.Do you believe there are extraterrestrial beings in outer space?
It is difficult to come to a definite conclusion on this issue.On the one hand, many people claim to have seen a UFO, and some even assert that they were abducted by aliens in their spaceships.Theoretically, it is difficult to prove that in the vast universe people on Earth are of the most advanced civilization and have the most advanced technology.If we cannot see ETs, it may be because they are far more advanced than we are.Similarly, if primitive people cannot detect radio waves, it does not mean more advanced civilizations do not exist.On the other hand, human beings have not collected solid evidence to prove the existence of ETs.Although some people claim to have witnessed a UFO, it could be a visual mistake.A mirage is a case in point.When somebody claims to have seen a ghost, do you believe it? In my opinion, while mankind should continue to explore mysteries in the universe, they had better direct most of their time and energy toward pursuits that are more relevant to their present lives.4,Do you think success is due more to luck and opportunity or to diligence and perseverance? Why?
Sometimes a lucky person achieves great success without making the corresponding efforts, while a person who has worked diligently on and on fails to accomplish anything.But on the whole, I am inclined to believe that success is more closely related to diligence than to luck.It is true that in gambling, card-playing and some other games, luck plays a large role.But in most fields of endeavor, one has to study and work hard before one has a chance of success.For example, all scientists, engineers, teachers, musicians and athletes must receive years of rigorous training before they can do their work properly and stand out from the rest.Without hard work, they have almost no hope of success at all.After all, opportunity favors those who are well prepared.1,Name at least ten recreational activities, including those requiring a lot of physical exertion and those that are more relaxing.ome forms of recreation require a high level of physical activity.Here are some examples: football, basketball, badminton, tennis, and table tennis.Some people like climbing mountains, going bodysurfing, or going rafting.After those strenuous outings, they feel mentally relaxed.On the other hand, some people prefer more sedentary(久坐的)activities.Instead of playing a ball game, they watch it.They go to a cinema, a theater, an opera house or a concert hall, or they simply sit at home watching TV.Some play various kinds of games on the computer, and others play chess or cards.Even when they want to stay outdoors, they may choose peaceful pastimes like fishing.2,What do you think about the computer and the Internet as sources of entertainment?
With the advent of the computer and the Internet, we can play all kinds of games in the virtual world;we can play chess and cards with people we have never met, even a chess master.We can travel to all parts of the world on the Net.We can send and receive e-mails, and chat with people online.Moreover, we can make use of the Net as a way of learning.But we should be careful not to get too much of a good thing.If we sit in front of a computer all day long, there will be many negative effects.Our eyes may get damaged.Long exposure to radiation from the computer may cause disease.Too much sedentary work is bad for our health.We may become physically weak and develop a weight problem.Worse still, if we get addicted to the computer, we may neglect human relationships and communication between one another.In the end we would rather talk to a computer than to a human.3,Would you like to go on a tour during the vacation?
If I have enough money, I'd like to visit a distant place during my vacation.After a term of hard work, I think I deserve a trip for relaxation.From the trip, I could gain useful geographical and historical knowledge about the place--knowledge different from what we acquire from books.Furthermore, I would be refreshed from traveling, and then I could work more energetically in the next term.However, if I do not have enough money to travel, I can relax myself in many other ways.I can go to parks, or enjoy local scenic and historical sites.What's more, on the Internet I can visit remote places of the world.I can play computer games to kill time.Perhaps I will also do a lot of reading.If I arm myself with abundant knowledge, I may find a good job, which will offer me opportunities for traveling both at home and abroad
4,Stores are closed in the evenings and on Saturdays and Sundays in many Western countries, while they are normally open in China.Which system do you prefer? Why?
In my opinion, each system has its advantages and disadvantages.The weekend is meant for people to have a rest, and the employees at stores, post offices, government departments, schools and so on all deserve a rest.The two-day weekend was won after centuries of demands for workers' rights.If one store breaks the rules and stays open on the weekend, it will do unusually good business, but this is unfair competition.If people can enjoy proper rest over the weekends, they can work more vigorously during the weekdays.However, if all stores are closed, this can be inconvenient for many people, especially those in double-income households.If a small proportion of the population, that is those in the service industry, work on weekends, most people will enjoy their weekends even more.On the whole, I am in favor of the current Chinese system
1,What are the essential differences between the concepts of individualism and collectivism? Search the Internet for information.Individualism asserts the primary importance of the individual and holds that an
individual's interests should be placed above the group's.Individuals are being given opportunities and freedom to develop character, interests, abilities, careers, etc.within the context of individualism.In addition, the collective culture respects and even values the initiatives of each reason.On the other hand, collectivism emphasizes the interests of the group over those of the individual.It is believed that if the group prospers, all its members prosper.If an individual works for the benefit of the group, he or she will benefit as well.Sometimes collectivism requires individuals to sacrifice their short-term interests to the group's long-term goals.Perhaps we should strike a balance between promoting team spirit and bringing individual initiative into play.2,Should we follow the ethics of hard work or introduce fun into our work?
In my opinion, we can introduce fun into our work, but an industrious spirit is a more valuable element.It's true that people like to have fun, and that if learning involves fun, people tend to learn faster.Without fun, learning can be slow or even painful.This is illustrated by the popular saying, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” However, since many people do not study or work hard, I think it is necessary to stress diligence at the present stage in the nation's development.To attain advanced levels, we have to make greater efforts.If we all work hard, our offspring will be able to have more fun.Although fun plays a role in work and study, most human achievements are gained mainly through hard work.Most successful people have worked diligently to achieve success.After all, “no pain, no gain.”
3,Should different cultures integrate or keep their own characteristics?
A well-integrated nation is more capable of maintaining unity and stability.People in some countries dislike foreigners or ethnic minorities to behave differently from the norm.They prefer foreigners to assimilate into their culture.The saying, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do,” illustrates this point.The trend toward globalization promotes international exchanges and integration of different cultures.On the other hand, diversified cultures make our world more interesting and colorful.If all nations integrated into one, the world would be monotonous.Therefore, all ethnic groups should be allowed to keep their unique customs.The Chinese government has adopted favorable policies to allow the ethnic minorities to keep their traditions.All nations should be treated equally.Large nations should not pose their cultures on small nations.The world is composed of different countries and cultures.To achieve better development and cooperation, perhaps we should advocate multiculturalism while encouraging free exchanges between cultures.4,Should we be punctual for class, work or appointments? Why? What can you do to ensure punctuality?
In the past, Chinese did not attach much importance to punctuality.In an agricultural country punctuality was not very important.But nowadays, owing to the quickened pace of life and the influence of Western concepts of time, the Chinese seem to be paying more attention to punctuality.If somebody is twenty minutes late for an appointment, you may be annoyed because it is a waste of your time.To avoid being late, we should make adequate preparations.In case an emergency prevents us from arriving at the destination on time, we can call ahead to inform the person concerned of the delay.But for entertainment activities like a party, we may be a bit late, for that causes no inconvenience to others.
第四篇:英语视听说演讲稿Unit4
Good afternoon everyone, I want to share with you about some Japanese etiquettes.In the first place, I want to tell you about the meeting etiquette.First meeting attaches a great importance in many occations.When you meet a Japanese who is vital for you, bowing for the cerenomy is a essential manner.It is generally between 30 degrees and 45 degrees in bowing.Man bows while hanging down the hands on both sides of underwear.However, in order to show great respect, woman should make her left hand rest on her right hand in the front.While bowing, you should say “Ohayou” in the morning, “Connichiwa” in the afternoon, or “Conbawa” at night.What’s more, exchanging the cards is also important in first meeting.Japanese think that card is a represent in business.You have to receive everyone’s card, not missing anyone, and read them carefully.Also you should hand out you card to everyone, although it takes a long time.Japanese, both in formal occations or in informal settings, are focusing on their clothes.Men usually wear a suit and a tie.But do not wear black suit, white shirt and black tie because they are suitable in funerals.Women should only wear low-heeled shoes, in order to avoid towering over men.Calling Japanese must say their last name and follow “San”.For example, if I were a Japanese, you should call me “SenSon”.Communiting with Japanese, you should aviod the topic of age, marriage, income and the World War II.Japanese seldom express what they think directly.They often say “と思います” which means “I’m afraid that……”.Any criticism should be delivered privately, discreetly and tactfully, or else, just opposite to what you wish.To sum up, do in Rome as Rome does, but you need not worry about these cultural barriers since most Chinese are hospitable and amiable and will not mind your nonproficiency.

Self-descipline: a Basic Quality of College Students
Several days ago, SDU had passed a administrative project which spread rapidly in the Internet: students who have little self-descipline resulting in playing the computer games all days and failing a great many exams are advised to drop out from school.As far as it goes, it is a superb policy that can promote the development of the university and the quality of the students.The objective of this policy is to encourage the students establish their self-descipline.To my way of thinking, self-descipline is an absolutely necessary of quality in students’ life.When we go to university, we have to leave from our family, which results that no one can directly care for us.We must adapt the new environment.We are adapt to the life that are forced to study by our teachers, our parents, and the drastic competition between our classmates and the nationwide students who are eager to attend to the world-known universities.But after joining in the university, we have little presure, for few people can stop us from playing endless computer games and staying in KTV all night.It’s easy to fall behind.Chinese education is awful.Student in senior high school only know how to solve maths problems, how to remember English worlds, how to cope with exams, but expect how to built the self-descipline.Nevertheless, self-descipline is proved to be important for a college student, not only for his study, but also for his quality, his self-descipline and development.A person only knows theory but can’t practize is useless in this society, after all.So how to possess self-descipline? The most important thing we should do is to make a plan about what goals we should or would like to realize.Then put them into practice.What is necessary is that you can divide the goals into several small and workable everyday-goals.When at night, ask yourself whether you have finish your plan.What’s more, searching a person that is more excellent to try your best to exceed him is also a good way you can attempt.
