第一篇:希望之星 60秒演讲
Mum, I want to say to you 'thank you and I love you'.From the day you brought me into this world, you have made sacrifices for me.When I was ill, you would stay up all night.Much of your hair became grey during the past twelve years.I hope I can look after you in your old age, just like you've looked after me.Thank you, Mum.You’ve never lied to me.You taught me how to be a good person.Because of your model, I have been an honest man and more and more brave.You always tell me that I am the person you love the most in the world even though I have often made you angry , worried , upset or even nervous.Dear mum , I want to say to you ‘I love you too!’
Oh Susanna
I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee.I'm going to Louisiana, my true love for to see.When it rained all night the day I left.The weather it was dry.The sun so hot, I froze to death.Susanna, don't you cry.Oh, susanna!Oh, don't you cry for me.I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee.I had a dream the other night.When everything was still, I thought I saw Susanna,Coming down the hill.The buck-wheat cake was in her mouth, The tears were in her eye, Says I I'm coming from the South, Susanna, don't you cry.Oh, Susanna, oh, don't you cry for me, I'm going to Louisiana with my banjo on my knee.Oh, Susanna, oh, don't you cry for me.I'm going to Louisiana with my banjo on my knee.

How to Sell Yourself
自信
In this competitive society it is essential to know how to sell yourself in order to get the job you want.That means you must be able to market your best features and present yourself in the best light.After all, you never get a second chance to make a first impression.There are several things you can do to project a good image in an interview.First of all, look like a winner.Dress conservatively and well, and you'll look like you're going to the top.Second, communicate clearly.Consider each question carefully and respond with total honesty.Remember to make eye contact and maintain good posture.You need to look attentive but also at ease.Third, have a positive and assertive attitude.It's important to appear confident of your ability and optimistic about your future.Finally, be prepared.Present a professional resume and be ready to explain everything in detail.By following the advice above, you are bound to make a good impression on potential employers.Then you will be able to choose the best opportunity for you and take that first step towards success.2.Opportunity Around Us
机会无处不在
What factor decides everyone’s opportunity? Some people believe that opportunity is just a matter of coincidence;other people believe that opportunity is around us, it needs people to perceive.In my opinion, besides what mention above, opportunity also needs us to create.什么因素决定了每个人的机遇?一些人认为机遇只是巧合的事情,另外一些人认为机遇就在我们周围,它需要人去发现。在我看来,除了以上提到的,机遇也需要创造。
The other factor that plays an important role in determining our opportunities are our positive attitude.Opportunity often exists all around us, it is waiting for those people who are brave to grasp it.A person who is positive will perceive the chance, he will not be defeated by fail, still holding the hope that chances comes any minute, so they will grasp the chance as soon as it comes.决定我们机遇的另一个重要的因素是我们乐观的态度。机遇总是围绕着我们,它等待着那些勇敢的人去发现。一个乐观的人会察觉到机遇,他不会被失败打败,仍然抱着希望,相信机遇随时来,所以当机遇来的时候,他们会立刻抓住。In conclusion, everyone has the chance to be successful;it contains many factors, such as coincidence, attitude and others.In order to fulfill our lives, we must seize the chance to realize our dreams.总的来说,每个人都有机会成功,机遇包含着很多因素,比如偶然因素,态度和其它的因素。为了充实我们的生活,我们一定要抓住机遇来实现我们的梦想。
Building Trust Between People
人与人之间的信任 How to Be True to Yourself My grandparents believed you were either honest or you weren't.There was no in between.They had a simple motto hanging on their living-room wall: “Life is like a field of newly fallen snow;where I choose to walk every step will show.”They didn't have to talk about it--they demonstrated the motto by the way they lived.They understood instinctively that integrity means having a personal standard of morality and ethics that does not sell out to expediency and that is not relative to the situation at hand.Integrity is an inner standard for judging your behavior.Unfortunately, integrity is in short supply today--and getting scarcer.But it is the real bottom line in every area of society.And it is something we must demand of ourselves.A good test for this value is to look at what I call the Integrity Trial, which consists of three key principles: Stand firmly for your convictions in the face of personal pressure.When you know you're right, you can't back down.Always give others credit that is rightfully theirs.Don't be afraid of those who might have a better idea or who might even be smarter than you are.Be honest and open about who you really are.People who lack genuine core values rely on external factors--their looks or status---in order to feel good about themselves.Inevitably they will do everything they can to preserve this facade,but they will do very little to develop their inner value and personal growth.So be yourself.Don't engage in a personal cover-up of areas that are unpleasing in your life.When it's tough, do it tough.In other words, face reality and be adult in your responses to life's challenges.Self-respect and a clear conscience are powerful components of integrity and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others.Integrity means you do what you do because it's right and not just fashionable or politically correct.A life of principle, of not succumbing to the seductive sirens of an easy morality,will always win the day.My grandparents taught me that.怎样对自己诚实 我的爷爷和奶奶认为,你要么是诚实的,要么不是,不可能介于两者之间。在他们起居室的墙上挂着一幅简单易懂的座右铭:“生活好像一片刚刚落满白雪的土地;我走到哪里,我的每一个脚印就会出现在哪里。”他们无需就此加以评说—一他们是以身体力行的方式来证实这幅座右铭的。他们本能的理解是,诚实意味着具备一定的伦理道德标准,既不看风使舵,也不随着眼下的形势而转移。诚实是判断你行为的内在标准。遗憾的是,如今,诚实处在短缺状态——甚至越来越稀罕。然而,它却是社会各个领域真正的思想底线,而且是我们必须要求自己严格做到的。检验这种价值标准的一个有效方法是,参看我所指的诚实考验,其中包括三条主要原则:本作文共2页,当前在第1页 1(责任编辑:英语作文网)

The most valuable Investment

Everyone has seen the moody, withdrawn kid with music blasting out of his white earbuds, or the girl rapidly texting on her phone.The youth of today are constantly immersed in technological advancements that promote nonstop communication and instant gratification, whether through cell phones, gaming systems, laptops, or MP3 players.But are these technological advancements a good thing? I believe that the growth of technology has negatively influenced the social interactions of today's youth because it isolates individuals from reality, hinders communication, and perpetuates the concept
Technology is a negative influence on us because it separates individuals from reality.The iPod is one example;by putting in your earbuds and immersing yourself in music while in public, you are disconnecting yourself from the real world.“For some people, the main appeal of the iPod is that it preoccupies you so that you do not have to deal with the uncontrollable factors of everyday life,” writes Krystle Song, a University of California, student
The ability for people to surround themselves with the familiar by using their iPod is appealing because it rarely provides the listener with something unexpected or unknown.However, it can be argued that this is a bad thing.By constantly being cut off from personal interactions and new experiences because of a technological device, a generation with substandard social abilities is being groomed.If we do not have to face reality by experiencing new things, making personal relationships, and problem solving, then
Technology hinders personal communication, which negatively impacts our age-group.Although “our culture heralds the Internet as a technological wonder, there are suggestions that Internet use has a negative influence on individuals and their social skills,” writes Bob Affonso in his article, “Is the Internet Affecting the Social Skills of Our Children?” Data shows that those who use the Internet frequently spend over 100 minutes less time with friends and family than non-Internet users, according to Norman H.Nie and D.Sunshine Hillygus in their paper “The Impact of Internet Use on Sociability.” we will

of
immediate
satisfaction.The Internet actually detracts from the communication abilities of society, especially the young.When our communication skills are gradually lessened, we begin “spending less time talking to families, experiencing more daily stress, and feeling more lonely and depressed,” writes Affonso.In our formative teen years, lack of personal communication due to excessive Internet usage can have an overall negative effect on mental and physical health.Communication skills are critical for everyone, yet use of the Internet is undermining
Technology negatively affects us by perpetuating the mindset of immediate satisfaction.The creation of various portable technological devices has slowly ingrained the idea of instant gratification.With gadgets like the PS3 or Nintendo DS, which allow users to play games anywhere, or cell phones that let us keep in touch virtually everywhere and at any time, we grow up learning that whenever we want pleasure or enjoyment, it will automatically
Some argue that the Internet has a positive effect on social interactions because it allows us to form friendships online.However, the capacity to meet “a virtually unlimited number of people through chat rooms, bulletin boards, and other services,” is actually extremely negative, write Jean-Francois Coget and Yamauchi Yutaka in their paper, “Untangling the Social Impact of the Internet.” There are dangerous people on the Internet who are a threat to young people.The ability to access anything and everything someone posts without knowing if their intent is malicious is a downside to the open transfer of information available on the Internet.While Coget and Yutaka claim that “the Internet can foster openness, self-confidence, and a greater sense of ease and comfort in dealing with others … the Internet can even provide opportunities by freeing those who are too depressed to conduct a social life in the real world,” it is extremely unhealthy to make and sustain all of your social interactions online.We will not be positively impacted by communicating through a computer screen if we already do not have the self-confidence
I believe the advancement of technology has negatively impacted our social interactions because it detaches us from what is happening around us, obstructs communication, and spreads the concept of instant gratification.Society must be able to utilize technology while not allowing it to impede social interactions, particularly for those who are easily influenced during our formative years.Our world must learn to embrace technology without allowing it to negatively impact the creation of functional adults in society.to

选择的重要性
Here, I’d like to say,we are what we choose.Following your gut to help you make a good choice and stand proudly in your own shoes.It is really a pity that many people claim that they can not make their own choice because of some so-called realistic factors.What kind of Success I Hope to Achieve 我的成功观
To live my life as an honest and compassionate person and to contribute in some way.There is no deny the fact that we should care about our house, health care and commodities.For me, it is to make some contribution in the education area.Success,yes,of course necessary, But we should take some time to think about what we want.let's accept the strangeness of some of our ideas.Let's probe away at our notions of success.Let's make sure our ideas of success are truly our own.6.What College Education Means to Me.大学教育对我的意义
Good afternoon,everybody!Today my topic is What College Education Means to Me.Some people think believe that college education means higher income.But to me, it is more than that.Actually, it has long been my custom to initiate a discussion with the question,What does a student get out of college.It's a place I live, have fun, chill and get the right education in order to live the rest of my life.I
10.Let’s Stand up From Where We Fall Down
哪里跌倒哪里爬起
I think most of us have faced situations in life where we felt like we cannot stand up any more after falling down.However,I would say,everyone can it stand up from where we fall down if we try.Just take me as an example.I was in love with dancing when I was a little girl.As soon as I entered my middle school, I rushed to the dancing interview, hoping to become an member of the dancing troupe [truːp].BUT...now, I have entered my ideal university and become a member of the dancing troupe.I just stand up from where I fall down.
第三篇:即兴演讲希望之星
我相信我能行:
I will never forget the moment of reading apple, chocolate, and monkey……again and again following my mother when I was five.And she often encouraged me that I did well in English.In grade 3, I took part in an English contest, I prepared a story.I practiced every morning and night.At last, I came first in the contest, which made me more confident!For a very good chance, I took part in the competition of Stars of Hope(希望之星)I give a story to the judgers, they smiled to me as if they are saying—well done!I was very happy!The other students who were listening said I did a good job, too!I felt very proud of myself!Today I’m so excited to have this chance, standing here to attend the competition again!I will do my efforts to prove myself.I believe I can!Thank you!我就是我
(在以上的基础上加上)
Today I’ll don’t mind win or lose, because I am who I am!
我的梦想:
I’m very happy to share my dream with you today.My dream is to be an English teacher.Teaching is a great job, teachers like the gardeners of motherland, nurturing the trees and flowers.I also want to be this kind of gardener.Teachers are not rich, but I think it is happy to talk with children.And I think I will be a very good teacher.I will make my students do less homework on Sunday.I will be nice to my students.Playing with the children is happy to me.I will take them to the park to enjoy the beautiful flowers and the grasses.I hope my dream will come true.I'll work hard for my dreams and never give up.运动:
As you know, sports can help the body to keep healthy.I enjoy many kinds of sports, such as swimming, running, and dancing.However, the sport that I like best is swimming.BecauseI like water very much.During summer vacations, I go swimming with my mother, although I should get up very early every day, I do not feel hard, because I can enjoy the cool summer water.In the other hand, swimming is a good sport, it can exercise every parts of our body, when you swimming, you should move your hand, your leg, your head, and every body parts should cooperate with each other.Swimming can make me more and more slim.So dear friends, lets go swimming together.我最喜欢的季节:
Every season has its beautiful views in south china.For me, I love spring.Firstly, spring can make lives alive.Spring is beautiful and green, the leaves turn to be green suddenly and the rain will visit my hometown from time to time.Grass extends his head out of the ground, the willow sends out green bud, the river burst into song.In spring, the sky is very blue, the cloud is white, and the air is fresh.The spring is evident everywhere.Spring make me feel happy.In spring, the weather is always sunny and warm, usually I go travelling, sometimes I go hiking and climb mountains, I like spring.Secondly, the spring is a start for the whole year.People always make some conclusion of the last year and plan their goals for the coming year in the spring and start to try hard for them.“Well begun, half done”.From this sentence, you can tell how important the spring is for all of us.怎样才是一个好学生:
We students are the builders and masters of the country.It is important for us to know how to be a good student.As far as I think, there are many important traits, the traits like this:
Nowadays,Some students may have wrong ideas of what a good student is.They think a good student should study all the subjects well and listen to the teachers all the time, but actually these ones don't care about anything except study.Firstly, we must have clear world values.We must know what we should do and what we shouldn't do.Secondly, good students should learn as much as possible.So a good student always tries to learn from both text-books and other books.However, we can’t always study alone, sometimes you need a discussion, don’t forget to work together with your friends, it will be great help to you.Thirdly, a strong character and will-power are also needed,because we have troubles every day.How to face the difficulties in study and our lives is very important.A good student won't be afraid of difficulties, we'll always try our best to meet the challenge, and we will never give up.In short, let us try our best to become a good student!
我与电脑:
Computers play an important role in the modern world.Today they are used in many areas of human activities, such as business, industry, science and education.I'm a primary school student.I always search for information on my PC, make PPT or type my articles and sometimes listen to music, play games on the computer at the weekends.Sometimes I write e-mails to my friends on the computer, too.I often chat with people with QQ.I usually do my homework on the computer, too!It's very easy.I also enjoying watching programs on-line, because I can find my favorite programs easily, when I watching TV, I should wait for the advertisement and watch the programs on time.But in computer, I can watch my favorite programs any time, and needn't wait for advertisements.I seldom buy things on the computer, because I don't know it.I sometimes go to the forums at the weekends, there are many people, and it's very interesting.How about you, my friend?
一个好的旅行:
There are many beautiful trips in my heart, but the best trip is in 2011(two thousand and eleven), I went to visit the Changzhou.We went to the dinosaur park.There were so many different dinosaurs.I was very exciting!And then we took a bath in the hot spring, wow!It was a wonderful experience!After that, we played in the Lubu Paradise.We went swimming and played games!We all didn't want to go home because everything is so beautiful, and there are so many other exciting things to try, but sadly it was time for us to go.It was certainly an exciting trip.If I have a chance to go there again, I will be more than happy to visit the place.可以再加一些精彩内容
永不放弃Never Give Up(success and failure成与败
win and lose赢与输)“If I could reach higher, just for one moment to touch the sky…”---this is from my favorite song Reach.I still remember, when I was at school, I practice speaking English with others.My classmates all said : “What a strange girl she is!She thinks she is smart!” I told myself: I like English, I’ll never give it!
But the pressure still led me into despair.“Am I destined to be laughed at by others?” Unwilling to submit to the fate, I paid more efforts on my English than others did.Because I just want to catch every little opportunity to prove myself.#希望之星冠军曹丰演讲稿
Our Future: A Battle between Dreams and Reality When I was in the primary school, I have a dream.I want to invent a device which could bring you from one place to another in no time at all.When I was in the secondary school, my dream was to study in my ideal university.And when eventually I got into the university, my dream was to graduate.How pathetic!When we grow up, we dream less and become more realistic.Why? Why do we have to change our dreams, so, so in order to let it be “fulfilled”? Why do we have to surrender to the so-called “reality”? What IS the reality actually? Ladies and gentlemen, the reality is not real.It is a barrier keeping us from all the possible fantasies.Flying, for example, had been a dream to mankind for thousands of years.A hundred years ago, “man could not fly” was still regarded as the “reality”.Now if that was really the reality, what did the Wright brothers do? How did some of you get to Macau? Only when we believe that the reality is not real can we soar with our dreams.People say that our future is a battle between the reality and our dreams.And if, unfortunately, Mr.Reality wins this war, then I see no future of mankind at all.AIDS will never be curable as this IS the reality;People living in the undeveloped countries will suffer from starvation forever as this IS the reality;4)Disputes among different countries would never be settled as this misunderstandings and intolerance IS the reality.Ladies and gentlemen, how many of you have a dream of being able to make a lot of money? Please raise your hands.Oh, quite a number of you!Actually, ladies and gentlemen, this is not a dream, but a task.Every one of us has to make a living, right? Anyway I hope your task will be accomplished.How many of you think that you have already fulfilled your dream and that you don't dream anymore? Dear 5)adjudicators, what do you think? C.S.Lewis once said, “You are never too old to dream a new dream.” So for our future, please dream and be unrealistic.Now that I am a university student, my goal is to graduate with excellences.But at the same time, I have a dream deeply rooted in our future.One day, people living in the areas now 6)sweltering with the horror of wars will be able to sit with their families and enjoy their every moment.One day, people from the rich countries are willing to share what they have with those from the poor countries and those from the poor countries will eventually be able to make their own happy living themselves.One day, different cultures in this age of globalization will coexist with tolerance and the unfriendly confrontations among them will be 7)eliminated.One day, the globe will share the dream with me and we will all contribute to making our dream come true.One day, our dream will defeat the reality!Thank you very much.。问题:Now in the age of the Internet, reading books do
#Good afternoon Dear teachers and my fellow classmates, I really appreciate having this opportunity to introduce myself.I’m /////from …… school of classXXX.I’ve been paying attention to the Outlook English for many years and I am very interested in it For me, learning English is considered an enjoyment.At first, I have not participated in any oral competition before and I hesitated.I thought it was a hard thing to do in the past but I now believed that I should have a try.My teachers and friends have also given me the courage and I’ve become more confident through the process and that’s why I’m standing here.Everybody should have the courage to catch the chance and hold on to the given opportunity.If we didn’t try , how can we be near our
goals? I believe we can all achieve our goals if we continue to take a step forward.Just like when I’m learning English, the courage of facing the difficulties and my goal motivated me to move forward.Just as the old saying goes, “the one who you must defeat is you yourself”, not only did I attained experiences and confidence throughout the process, I am also willing to learn that in order to improve, I had to defeat myself.finally, I wish to thank all of my teachers and friends who gave me the chance here to participate in this activity, and I am really grateful and that I will strive for the better.Thank you for your kind attention and have a nice afternoon.#In grade 3, …
…(我相信 我能行的内容部分)
Thanks to the competition, I received some awards and most of all, I gained the courage and confidence to face any difficulties in my life journey.Life is just like farming, and what you can reap depends a lot on your sowing and dedication.Once you have a dream, don’t be hesitant.Keep going forward, even in the toughest time, and never give up.#我眼中最伟大的创造
The greatest invention in my eyes is the computer, which is very important today in people’s life!

The nicer personality you have, the better your life will
be
Hi everyone.I’m Julia.Today I want to talk about an original word——personality.Last year, people created many new words, like gelivable and jiong.These words are sometimes strange, but they’re also funny.They are used by many TV shows and newspapers.There is a word that I am interested in——personality.People translate it into 人品.It is so popular to say this word.For example, if you ask your mother for fifty Yuan as pocket money;but she gives you a hundred Yuan, then you might say“See, I have a good personality!”But do you know what the meaning of personality is?
Personality doesn’t mean what you look like or what people think of you.It depends on your heart.Every detail in your life will show your personality.Personality is one of the most important parts of a person’s life.I have read a story;it shows how personality changes a person’s life.There was a rich man, he had a lot of money, but he had a very poor personality.After a long time, no one liked making friend with him.And soon, the Christmas came;three goats came to his house and told him what his future will be.After he saw this, he felt scared and decided to improve his personality to change his life.He tried to help poor people with his money and became kind-hearted.To his surprise, he found that his friends accepted him and he began to live a new life.Now you see how important personality is.So please use your ability to build a nicer personality.Look, a better life is waiting for your smile.
