如何应对即兴演讲 来源:21英语网 作者:stephen lucas(《为成功而演讲》)日期: 2010-09-19 到目前为止我们讨论了适用于各种公众演讲的普遍原则。现在我们来看即兴演讲,也被称作临场的、即席的或是无准备的演讲。在“21世纪杯”比赛中,选手们完成已备演讲之后作即兴演讲。下面是往届比赛中出现过的一些即兴演讲题目:
如果你可以生活在另外一个不同时间和地点,你将如何选择?对你来说哪种知识更为重要:书本上学来的还是从个人经历取得的?
你认为中国人世将会对这个国家有何主要影响?
大学生能否结婚?
如果你是人大代表,你对政府有何建议?
你会发现,即兴演讲题目的话题涉及面很广,包含从个人到政治,从校园热点到时事等各个方面。在“21世纪杯”演讲比赛的各个环节中,即兴演讲最具挑战性。它考验你独立思考、迅速、透彻地分析问题以及在毫无准备的前提下用英语进行有效交流的能力。因为所有选手都有充足的时间准备已备演讲,所以在这部分比赛中他们通常表现出色。但是到了即兴演讲部分很多人就变得言语结巴了。因此你若想取得前几名的成绩,就必须在即兴演讲中取得高分。
即兴演讲对于使用母语演讲的学生来说都是件难事,对于使用第二语言演讲的学生来说就更是费力了。然而,它为你以后走出校门步人社会提供了极好的锻炼机会,因为到那时很多情况下都需要你立即清楚、有力地表达出自己的观点。
无论你在哪里演讲,成功的即兴演讲最重要的因素都是缜密的思维和有条理的组织。在比赛中,你有三分钟时间发表即兴演讲。首先确定你要阐述的两至三个主要观点,然后简明、清楚地加以讨论。必要时使用实例、数据或证词来支持你的观点。因为很多即兴演讲题目都是在问你个人的观点,你可以在演讲中充分利用自己的经历。最重要的是,一定要避免漫谈和重复。阐明一个观点之后就接下去谈下一个。你可用“第一”、“第二”、“第三”这样的路标来明确每一个新观点的出现,以方便观众理解。当你的演讲接近尾声时,要用简练的话语作结,并为观众的关注表示感谢。
当你发表即兴演讲时,无论内心多么紧张也要表现得冷静、镇定。回顾前面谈怯场时我们曾提到:尽管你内心紧张得发抖,观众看到的只是你的外显行为。如果你在演讲中发错音或忘记了思路,不要恐慌,即使你犯一个小错误,观众很有可能无所察觉,你只需像什么都没发生过一样继续你的演讲。如果有一个较大的失误,你只需大胆地说:“对不起,我的本意是说??”等等诸如此类的话,之后继续你的演讲。马丁·路德·金发表《我有一个梦想》这一演说的时候也有过三次失误,但他并未理会这些过失,而观众始终关注的也只是他所要表达的思想内容。
像已备演讲一样,在即兴演讲部分你也要练习与观众保持眼神交流,避免有声停顿。你打磕巴、思索恰当词语的次数越少,那么你看起来就越加完美、自信。如果你能够有一个让观众听起来清楚、稳重的语速,在演讲的过程中始终保持沉着、冷静,那么你将有更大的机会赢得评委们的好感。
尽管比赛前你不可能知道即兴演讲的题目,但这并不意味着不到上场前你就无从准备。当你准备好参赛,就可以请指导教师给出一些例题,你来练习当场发表即兴演讲来作答。在演练的过程中,尤其要注意我们前面提出的所有建议。练习的初期阶段录下自己演讲的声音,以检查自己语言的逻辑性、清晰性、连贯性以及发音的准确性。在练习的后期,你可用摄像机录下自己的表现,确保自己看起来自信,始终保持眼神交流,避免分散注意力的手势或习惯动作。
下面我们给出一段非常好的即兴演讲的例子,是2002年比赛的冠军选手孙宁当时所作的演讲。他即兴演讲的题目是“假如你是中国第一名登月的宇航员,你可以在月球上留下三件物品,那么你会留下哪三件?”
谢谢!如果我是中国第一位登上月球的宇航员,我会带下列三件物品:首先,我要带一个玩具,更确切地说是一个小型的玩具熊猫。熊猫是我们中国的国宝。众所周知,我们中国的自然环境、生态环境以及自然气候是得天独厚的。大家也都知道四川是熊猫最佳的天然栖息地。当你看到熊猫那滑稽的外表,憨态可掬的举止,你会发现它有着温和的习性。它同其他物种相处和谐,和大自然和平共处,这些都是我们需要向大熊猫学习的。
其次,我会带一件手工艺品,那就是传统的中国绘画。我小的时候学过几年传统中国绘画,所以我希望这幅画是我画的。在我学画画的时候,我就知道留意画中蕴含的东西更为重要。在典型的中国绘画中你也可以看到一首诗——通常是用隽秀的中国书法书写而成,此外上面还会有一个印章。中国绘画通常是临摹秀丽的中国风景。
最后,我想带一张世界地图。也许你们中间有些人会感到很惊讶,为什么不是中国地图呢?从各方面而言,我知道自己是一个中国人,然而我也意识到了在这个世界联系日益密切的时代,我们还是世界的公民。我不能把我的视线仅仅局限在中国国界中,我要把目光放远,我也应该清楚我们国界以外的海洋和陆地也是广阔的。走出国门去了解它们对于我们来说是很重要的。我的讲话完了,谢谢!上面一字不差就是孙宁当时演讲的原稿,你可能发现到他在措辞中犯了一些小错误,但整篇演讲内容清晰、思维连贯、组织有序,以至于没有人会注意到那些细小的错误。读这篇稿子的时候,请注意孙宁是如何一开始便明确他要带上月球的三件物品。之后,演讲的过程中,他又这样引出所选的三件物品: 首先,我要带一个玩具,更确切地说是一个小型的玩具熊猫。
其次,我会带一件手工艺品,那就是传统的中国绘画。
最后,我想带一张世界地图。
这样的结构组织简明、清晰。孙宁将三个主要观点阐述得清楚、简洁,在三个观点上分配了几乎平等的注意力。在整个演讲的过程中,他从没有徘徊不前或偏离主题。他给人的印象是一个很好地控制自己思维的自信的演讲者。的确,即使这篇演讲由一位母语为英语演讲者创造,也称得上是非常出色的。
当然,针对不同的题目要有不同的回答。但任何一位演讲者针对任何主题发表即兴演讲,其成功的基本要素都是一样的。如果你能牢记我们所讨论的成功要素进行练习,你将有更大的机会在即兴演讲中取得成功。
从辩论题目和作文题目看即兴演讲的解题范围(1)1.13many teachers assign homework to students every day.do you think that daily homework is necessary for students? use specific reasons and details to support your answer.(2)1.14是否要在繁忙时间对繁忙路段课税(3)1.19 agree or disagree: most people often let others make decisions for them rather than make decisions by themselves.(4)1.26speaking important or writing important?(5)2.3看电视比看书学的多(6)3.3because people are too busy doing many things,they can do few things well.(7)3.4intodays world, the ability to cooperate well with others is more important than before.agree or not(8)3.10老师给学生自信比教专门知识更重要(9)3.23你喜欢看严肃题材的电影还是商业题材的电影?(10)4.21电影和电视[movies and television]对年轻人的行为方式[the way young people behavior]主要是消极的影响。给出理由。(11)4.29there are so many events happening everyday in the world, we dont have to know(12)5.18it is better to spend money on something that lasts for a long time, such as an expensive piece of jewelry or spend on something that provides a short-term pleasure such as a vacation?(13)5.19教师是否应该获得跟doctors,lawyers,business leaders一样的收入(14)6.920years from now, people will have more leisure time篇四:英语演讲比赛即兴演讲最佳模版

*The Mirror and I
#我和镜子
I like to look into the mirror.I remember when I was a little girl, I often stood on my toes, trying to find my face in the mirror of the dressing table, which was nearly as high as I was.Now I still like to look into the mirror.Only now, the dressing table is too low for me.As I bend down, I see the face of a young woman, glowing with maturity, confident in her future and fascinated with her own reflection.The fact that I like to look into the mirror has to do with my granny with whom I spent most of my childhood.I remember clearly that one night I heard her murmuring, “Women can't be seen.Women can't be seen.” I was so confused as to look into the mirror the next morning to check if I could indeed see myself.Only now as a young woman myself, can I understand that it was not physical visibility that granny had on her mind.Granny spent all her life taking care of the family, day in and day out.She cooked for her husband and 10 children.But whenever guests came, she and other female family members had to eat by the stove in the small kitchen.At family discussions, she was never asked for her opinion.After grandpa passed away, she had to listen to my uncle, her eldest son, fulfilled her duty as daughter, wife, and mother;yet as a person, she remained little noticed.Even though she could see herself in the mirror of the dressing table, she was never visible in the mirror of society.I have been living a different life.At home, I make decisions together with the rest of the family.In school, I often take charge of various activities the same as other boys and girls.Not only that, I can see something granny could not have dreamed of─making decisions for my own future.My life has been a series of decisions.I could choose from several universities as I came out of high school.At university, I could choose from a range of subjects from English literature to business law.And now upon graduation, I am again faced with decisions─to further my study or to go to work;to stay in China or to go abroad;to get married right away or to remain single for a bit longer.It does not matter whether or not I will become famous or rich, but I will treasure the chance to demonstrate my potential and to help other women demonstrate theirs as full members of society, fully visible in the mirror of history.I will treasure it because the abundance of choice that I enjoy came only after decades of efforts made by my granny, my mum, and millions of other Chinese women.However, the choices to be made by me and others of my generation are a great challenge.The misconception that men are superior to women is still dominating many people's minds.While men are encouraged to compete and to assert themselves, we are expected to be quiet, loyal and obedient.This is not very different from what is expected of us as good wives and good mothers.The challenge we face calls for a higher level of our personal development and self-determination.The story of my grandmother and myself mirrors the lives of millions of other women in China and perhaps in the world.Many of them still lead the life of my grandmother.Their worth is not yet recognized.It is the responsibility of a young person like me to work hard and struggle hard so that they too will see themselves and will be seen in the mirror of society.This is my dream.This dream, I believe, is not only shared by our grandmothers, mothers and sisters, but also by many of our fathers, brothers, husbands and male colleagues.It will not come true until everyone fully realizes that women can contribute to society and should be guaranteed the right to do so.Women hold up half the sky.我喜爱照镜子。记得很小的时候,我常常踮着脚尖在跟我差不多高的梳妆台前,想要看到镜子里自己的小脸。现在,我依然喜爱照镜子,只不过那张旧梳妆台已变得太矮了。弯下腰去照镜子时,我看到的已是一个年轻、散发着成熟光彩的姑娘,一个对未来充满自信的姑娘,一个对镜中的身影依然那般着迷的姑娘。
爱照镜子的这个癖好始于我和奶奶共同度过的童年时光。我清楚地记得一天夜里,听见奶奶低声自语:女人啊,别人怎么就看不见你,怎么就看不见你呢?我对此感到十分困惑,第二天一早就跑到镜子面前要检验一下是否镜子照得见自己。直到现在长大成人后我才明白,奶奶所看不见的并不是镜子里的形象。
奶奶为了照顾一大家人,起早贪黑,忙碌操持了一辈子。她每天为丈夫和十个子女生火做饭,每到家里来了客人,她却只能和家中所有女性成员一起挤在狭小的厨房里的灶前吃饭。家里讨论家事,奶奶从没有过问的权利。爷爷去世之后,她只得听从新的一家之主──我的大伯,也就是她的长子。经历了一生的艰辛,奶奶尽到了作为女儿、妻子和母亲的全部责任,但作为一个人,她却很少被别人关注过。尽管她能够在梳妆台的镜子中看到自己的模样,在家庭和社会中她却总是一个隐形人。
我过的是与奶奶截然不同的生活。在家里,我与家人一同商定家庭事务。在学校里,我和其他同学一样经常组织各种活动。不仅如此,我做了奶奶做梦也想不到的事情:为自己的未来做出选择。我的生活就是一连串自我抉择的结果。高中毕业时,我可以从众多大学中挑选一所。在大学里,我可以从一系列专业中挑选自己最喜爱的专业──从英国文学到商法。现在毕业将至,我又一次面对选择:或继续深造,或开始工作;或留在国内,或走出国门;或很快成家,或暂时单身。
不论成名富有还是默默无闻,我都会珍惜发挥自己潜质的机会。不仅如此,我更要帮助其他妇女珍惜发挥才智的机会,因为她们也是社会的全权成员。我十分珍惜这一点,因为我所享有的广阔的选择余地是我的奶奶、我的妈妈,乃至千千万万个中国妇女几十年艰苦奋斗的结果。
然而,我和我们这一代人将要做出的并非是轻而易举的选择。重男轻女的偏见仍然主导着许多人的思想。当男人被鼓励着去竞争,去为自己的权力奋斗时,却要我们女人保持沉默,坚守贞操,一味服从。这与只要我们当个贤妻良母又有什么不同?我们所面临的挑战正激励我们为更高的个人素质和更强的自立能力而奋斗。
我奶奶和我的故事折射出千百万中国乃至全世界妇女的生活。她们中仍有不少人正走着我奶奶曾经走过的道路,她们的价值还没有被认识到。努力工作,不懈奋斗,让世界的妇女都在镜子中看到自己,得到别人的承认,这正是每一个像我这样的青年所肩负的使命。
这是我的梦想。我相信,这个梦想不仅曾是我们的奶奶、母亲和姐妹们所有过的,也是我们的父亲、兄弟、丈夫和男同事们所拥有的梦想。
妇女能够为社会做出贡献。她们的这种权利应该得到保障。当每一个人都充分认识到这一点时,我的梦想就会实现。
妇女能顶半边天。

No One Can Be Perfect
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.Today I want to tell you a story about one of my friends, a lovely and smart girl who is always ready to help others.Being our grade leader, she is good at both work and study.In many people's opinion, she is excellent and perfect.But one day she told me she was gloomy and insecure.People around her considered her outstanding and flawless, thinking she could handle everything.But the more she thought about herself, the more disappointed she became.She found that she was far from perfection.Last week, she didn’t do well in her French quiz, and the day before yesterday, she was late for a conference.She felt depressed and frustrated, because she failed to be a perfect girl without any mistakes.I was surprised to hear that for I thought she had every reason to be confident.However, the expectation of perfection has become a burden to her.I told her no one could be perfect and I suggested she find her own position.In fact, people are so eager to be perfect that they demand too much of themselves.They want to be special and unique, and they want to have no defects or weaknesses.However, we can never avoid mistakes and errors.It’s impossible for us to be a superman or a superwoman.No matter how successful we are, there are always some flaws.If we hold that everything should be perfect, we would be overcritical.My friend now has changed her attitude.She accepts her shortcomings but still keeps a positive outlook.She is even more active and doesn’t allow the mistakes to hinder her pursuit of excellence.And I think that’s the way we should be!That’s all.Thank you!
没有人可以完美无缺
女士们、先生们,大家早上好!今天我想给大家讲一个我朋友的故事。她是一个聪明可爱、乐于助人的女孩。作为我们的年级长,她无论工作还是学习都很出色。在很多人眼里,她是如此优秀,近乎完美了。但有一天她却告诉我,她很迷惘和自卑:周围的人都认为她很优秀,完美无缺,可以对付任何事情;而她想得越多对自己就越是失望。她发觉自己远不够完美。上周她的法语测验考得不理想;前天,一个会议她又迟到了:很多事情做的不尽完美,这让她很是灰心丧气。
听到这些的时候我很惊讶,我原以为她有充分的理由对自己充满信心。然而,对完美的期望却变成了她的负担。我告诉她,没有人可以完美无缺的,她应该找到自己真正的位置。
实际上,人们有时过于追求完美而且期望的太多了。我们想要特别,想要独一无二;又想要没有缺点没有弱点。可是,人是无法避免错误的,有谁能成为超人呢?无论你多么成功,总是有一些事情不够完美。如果我们坚持要完美无缺,那只能是一种求全责备。
我的朋友现在已经改变了她的态度。她承认自己的不完美,但是保持着乐观的心态。她没有停止追求,反而变得更为积极。我想这正是我们应该有的态度。大学生英语演讲稿英语风采大赛半决赛选手自备演讲赏析(大学成人组)

Change The Ingredients Of Your Life
This is a glass of water, tasteless, right? However if you add sugar, it will taste sweet, but if you add vinegar, it will become bitter.The same is true with our life____ the flavor is created by our choices.If kindness is added to a strange you will have a friend;but if hostility is added, you will have an enemy.If love is added to a pile of red bricks you will have a home, but if hatred is add to those bricks , you will have an concentration camp.So my dear friends, never complain that life is boring and the world is disappointing.If don’t like the taste of your life, change the ingredients.Three year ago, I weighed more than 100 hundred kilograms which caused significant embarrassment and frustration in my life.Like always failing my P.E examinations, like always being laughed at by girls, like being terrified to speak in public.It was my grandmother’s encouragement that revived from my passive attitude to become confident in myself.She said ― My dear, if you can’t change you figure, why not treat it as your own style.So I began to cautiously employ the new way of thinking.By choosing to change my outlook on life, I developed the confidence to make a difference and finally I found a totally new world.So my dear friend, if faith, hope, love, endurance are added to your life, you will find the confidence to conquer your limitation and embrace new challenges.And hopefully with my speech included, you will have a fantastic speech contest.改变生活的味道
这是一杯白开水,平淡无味,对吧?可是加上点糖呢,他尝起来会有甜味;如果加的是苏打水,味道就会变苦。人生同样如此——个中滋味在于我们的选择。
善待他人,你会拥有朋友;但如果充满恶意,则会多个敌人。将爱赋予一堆红砖,你会拥有一个家;用仇恨来浇铸这堆红砖,就会铸成一座集中营。
因此亲爱的朋友们,不要抱怨人生乏味,世间无望。不喜欢生活的味道,那就换一换生活的调料吧!
三年前,我重达100多公斤,这给我带来了很多尴尬和挫折:体育课老是不及格,总被女孩们嘲笑,更不敢当众发表意见。幸而由于祖母的鼓励,我不在消极人生,而是充满自信。她曾经说过:―孩子,如果体形无法改变,为什么不把它看做自己独特的风格呢?‖ 我开始这样来审视人生,通过改变生活的视角,我信心大增地去改变我的人生,很快就发现一个崭新的世界。
朋友们,将信念,希望,爱意和忍性溶入生命,你就会找到自信,克服缺点,迎接人生新的挑战。最后我的演讲包括在内,希望你会看到一场精彩的演讲比赛。
大学生英语演讲稿3 The Importance of Keeping Optimistic

The Importance of Keeping Optimistic
Honourable judges, ladies and gentlemen,Good afternoon!Today I would like to talk about the importance of keeping optimistic.When we encounter difficulties in life, we notice that some of us choose to bury their heads in the sand.Unfortunately, however, this attitude will do you no good, because if you will have no courage even to face them, how can you conquer them? Thus, be optimistic, ladies and gentlemen, as it can give you confidence and help you see yourself through the hard times, just as Winston Churchill once said, ―An optimist sees an opportunity in every calamity;a pessimist sees a calamity in every opportunity.‖
Ladies and Gentlemen, keeping optimistic, you will be able to realize, in spite of some hardship, there’s always hope waiting for you, which will lead you to the ultimate success.Historically as well as currently, there are too many optimists of this kind to enumerate.You see, Thomas Edison is optimistic;if not, the light of hope in his heart could not illuminate the whole world.Alfred Nobel is optimistic;if not, the explosives and the prestigious Nobel Prize would not have come into being.And Lance Armstrong is also optimistic;if not, the devil of cancer would have devoured his life and the world would not see a 5-time winner of the Tour De France.A rose may be beautiful, or maybe not;that depends on your attitude only, and so does success, so does life.Hindrances and difficulties do exist, but if you are optimistic, then they are only episodes on your long way to the throne of success;they are more bridges than obstacles!Now I prefer to end my speech with the great British poet Shelley’s lines: ―If winter comes, can spring be far behind?‖ Thank you!
保持乐观的重要性
尊敬的评委、女士们、先生们:
下午好!今天我想谈一谈保持乐观的重要性。我们注意到,当在生活中遇到困难时,我们中的有些人选择逃避它们。但令人遗憾的是,这样的态度对你没有任何好处,因为如果你连面对它们的勇气都没有的话,你怎么去征服它们呢?因此,乐观起来吧,女士们、先生们,因为它会带给你信心,帮助你渡过难关。正如温斯顿·丘吉尔所说,―乐观者在每次灾难中都看到机遇;悲观者在每次机遇中都看到灾难‖。
女士们,先生们,困难是存在的,但如果你保持乐观,你就会意识到永远有希望在等着你,它会把你领向最终的成功。不管是历史上还是现实中,这样的乐观者总是不胜枚举。你看,托马斯·爱迪生是乐观的,如果不是的话,他心中那希望的明灯就不能照亮整个世界;阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔是乐观的,如果不是的话,那炸药和享有很高声望的诺贝尔奖就不会诞生;兰斯·阿姆斯特朗也是乐观的,如果不是的话,那癌症的病魔早已吞噬了他的生命,这个世界就会少了一位五届环法自行车赛冠军得主.玫瑰花可能很美,也可能不美,这,仅仅取决于你的态度;而成功也如此,人生也如此。困难和阻碍的确存在,但是如果你很乐观的话,那它们就仅仅是我们通向胜利之冠的漫长道路上的小插曲;与其说它们是障碍,不如说它们是桥梁!此刻,我想以伟大的英国诗人雪莱的一句诗来作为我的结尾:―冬天来了,春天还会远吗?‖谢谢!大学生英语演讲稿21 Me and my Fears

Me and my Fears
Honorable judges, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:
It is a great honor and pleasure to be here on this beautiful Saturday morning to share with you my sentiments about life and passion for the English language.About a year and a half ago, I took part in my very first English Speech Contest.When I stood before the microphone with all eyes starring directly at me, I could hardly speak.I stood there, embarrassed and helpless, struggling in vain for the right thing to say.My fears had paralyzed me.While my passion for English has never changed, I lost my courage to speak in public.When my professor again encouraged me to take part in this Competition, I said ―no.‖ I couldn’t endure yet another painful experience.He looked me straight in the eye and said something that pierced my heart.I will never forget his words.―Look,‖ he said, ―We all have our fears, and you have yours.You could twist your ankle in a basketball game, but then be afraid to ever play again.Running away can never dispel your fears, but action will.A winner is not one who never fails,but one who never quits.‖
I spent a whole day with his words twisting and turning in my mind.Then I made the bravest and wisest decision of my life: I would face my fears – and take part in the competition!
As it turned out, my dear old professor was right.Now, here I am, once again standing before a microphone.My heart is beating fast, and my mouth is dry, but most importantly, I have faced my fears--and that makes all the difference!
Thank you.战胜恐惧
尊敬的评委,各位来宾,女士们先生们,我很荣幸在这个美妙的星期六早上来到这里,与你们分享我生命中一段特别的经历。
大概一年半以前,我参加了生平第一次演讲比赛。站在麦克风前,面对观众们期待的眼神,我竟紧张的说不出话来。那一刻,我是多么无助啊!
我对于英语的挚爱从未改变,但却从此失去了面对公众演讲的勇气。当老教授鼓励我参加希望英语风采大赛时,我拒绝了。他直视我的眼睛,说了一番令我终身难忘的话。―你瞧,‖他说,―我们都有自己的恐惧。你可能会在一场篮球比赛中扭脚,并从此害怕再打球。你只能用行动去克服自己的恐惧,逃避是没有用的。生活中的成功者往往是永不放弃的人。‖
我花了一整天时间思考他的话。然后,我做出了一个勇敢而明智的决定: 我要参加中央电视台第五届―希望之星‖英语风采大赛!
老教授是对的。我发挥出了自己的水平,一路杀进了全国总决赛。此时此刻,当我再一次站在了麦克风前,仍然心跳不止,但更重要的是,我终于能够勇敢地面对我的恐惧了,而这已足够了。
学生英文演讲稿Discover Yourself i never think speaking in front of other people on the stage is possible for me, a shy girl, when i was ten.so when my teacher asked me to host a party of school, i refused immediately, with saying “you must be kidding.”

第五篇:大学生英语演讲
大学生英语演讲范文八篇
(一)i believe in our future honorable judges, fellow students: good afternoon!recently, ther is a heated debate in our society.the college students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education at extraordinary places.but will we be able to face the challenge and support ourselves against all odds? will we be able to better the lives of others? will we be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of our country? the cynics say we care for nothing other than grades;and we neglect the need for character cultivation.but again, the cynics are wrong.we care deeply for each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth.last week, thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer.as college students, we are adolescents at the critical turning point in our lives.we all face a fundamental choice: cynicism or faith, each will profoundly impact our future, or even the future of our country.i believe in all my fellow classmates.though we are still inexperienced and even a little bit childish.i believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challenge and take on our responsibilities.we are preparing to assume new responsibilities and tasks, and to use the education we have received to make our world a better place.i believe in our future.我对未来充满信心
尊敬的评委,各位同学: 下午好!
最近,社会上有一场很激烈的争论。大学生是一种稀有特权的享有者,在很棒的地方接受高等教育。但是,我们能面对挑战而无所畏惧吗?我们能够改善他人的生活吗?我们能够承担建设祖国未来的重任吗?
怀疑论者说大学生是被宠坏的一代,一丁点挫折都受不了。但是他们错了,我所看到的大学生正在努力的学习独立生活。我们互相帮助打扫卫生,一起上街砍价购物,一起参加兼职工作来赚零花钱。
怀疑论者说我们除了成绩什么都不关心,从而忽略了性格的培养。但是,他们又错了。我们彼此关心,我们向往自由,我们珍惜公正,我们追求真理。上个星期,很多我的同学去验血,为了给患血癌的孩子贡献自己的力量。
作为大学生,我们是处在人生分水岭的青年。我们都面临一个重要的选择:怀疑人生还是相信自己,每一种都会给我们的人生带来重大的影响,甚至影响我们祖国的未来。我相信我们的同学们,虽然我们依然缺乏经验,甚至有些志气,但是我相信我们有勇气和自信来面对生活的挑战并承担我们的责任。我们正努力准备接受新的任务,用我们所学习的知识将世界变得更美好。我对我们的未来充满信心。
(二)change the ingredients of your life if kindness is added to a strange you will have a friend;but if hostility is added, you will have an enemy.if love is added to a pile of red bricks you will have a home, but if hatred is add to those bricks , you will have an concentration camp.so my dear friend, if faith, hope, love, endurance are added to your life, you will find the confidence to conquer your limitation and embrace new challenges.and hopefully with my speech included, you will have a fantastic speech contest.改变生活的味道
这是一杯白开水,平淡无味,对吧?可是加上点糖呢,他尝起来会有甜味;如果加的是苏打水,味道就会变苦。人生同样如此——个中滋味在于我们的选择。
善待他人,你会拥有朋友;但如果充满恶意,则会多个敌人。将爱赋予一堆红砖,你会拥有一个家;用仇恨来浇铸这堆红砖,就会铸成一座集中营。
因此亲爱的朋友们,不要抱怨人生乏味,世间无望。不喜欢生活的味道,那就换一换生活的调料吧!
三年前,我重达100多公斤,这给我带来了很多尴尬和挫折:体育课老是不及格,总被女孩们嘲笑,更不敢当众发表意见。幸而由于祖母的鼓励,我不在消极人生,而是充满自信。她曾经说过:“孩子,如果体形无法改变,为什么不把它看做自己独特的风格呢?” 我开始这样来审视人生,通过改变生活的视角,我信心大增地去改变我的人生,很快就发现一个崭新的世界。
朋友们,将信念,希望,爱意和忍性溶入生命,你就会找到自信,克服缺点,迎接人生新的挑战。最后我的演讲包括在内,希望你会看到一场精彩的演讲比赛。
(三)kipling said:“east is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet!” but now, a century later, they have met.when two cultures meet, there may be things in one culture, which do not fit into the tradition of the other.when this happens, we need to learn to understand and respect the customs of another culture.then there are certain things some people may not like.to this, i will say, if you do not like it, please try to tolerate it.to learn to tolerate what you personally don’t like is a great virtue at a time when different cultures mix and merge.before us, there are two rivers, eastern and western cultures.at present, they may run in different courses.but eventually, they will converge into the vast sea of human culture.right now, i can see peoples of eastern and western cultures, standing side by side, singing the olympic theme song: we are hand in hand, heart to heart, together we will shape a beautiful tomorrow!thank you!让我们共同感受东西方的融合
吉卜林说过:东方是东方,西方是西方,二者永不相聚。但是一个世纪后的今天,东西方相汇了!它们相聚在经济领域,它们相聚在教育领域,它们相聚在艺术的殿堂。有人争论说:这种融合需要我们在东方和西方之间做出选择,但我却坚信最美好的未来在于东方和西方创造性的融合。我们可以将西方的思想,观念和技术变为我们自己所用的东西。
我喜爱京剧和河南豫剧,因为它们经常使我想起自己是谁。但我也热衷于流行音乐,特别是英文歌曲。于是我将东方的旋律和西方的语言结合到了一起,它叫做西方版的河南豫剧。当两种文化相结合的时候,也许一方的文化中的某些东西不适应另一方的传统文化。当此种情况出现时,我们需要试着理解并接受另一种文化中的风俗习惯。然而,也许有些东西你并不喜欢,对于此,我可以说,如果你不喜欢它,请试着去容忍它。当两种文化融合的时候,试着去容忍你个人不喜欢的东西是一种美德。
在我们面前有两条河流,东方文化和西方文化。现在,它们也许正朝着不同的方向流去。但是最终它们将汇合到人类文化的海洋里。就在此时此刻,我看见东方和西方的人肩并肩的站在一起,高唱奥林匹克主题曲:我们手拉手,心靠着心,共同创造美好的明天!大学生英语演讲稿英语风采大赛半决赛选手自备演讲赏析(大学成人组)
(四)farewell, indifference who was the most well-known figure in china last month? it’s ma jiajue—the college student who murdered 4 of his roommates.many people attributed his crime to his poverty and deficient education.in my opinion, his crime also has much to do with his classmates’ indifference.indifference is a terrible disease in today’s colleges and the whole society.it’s not rare that two students who have studied together for 4 years have never spoken to each other.it’s not rare that a student who has been absent from class for several days is not noticed at all.it’s also not rare that a student who has severe psychological problems is not cared about at all.some people may say ‘what the students with psychological problems like ma jiajue need is not care but psychotherapy.” however, when people are ill, what they need most is not only medical treatment, but also care from people around them.every smile and every caring word will bring sunshine to their life.what can we do to prevent the tragedy of ma jiajue from happening again? some people may say ‘let’s open more psychological courses in schools.’ and other people may say ‘let’s donate more money for the poor students.’ but i’ll say “my fellow student, let’s give more love and care to our roommates, our classmates and every person around us!” 走出冷漠
谁是中国上个月最有名的人物? 这当然要数马加爵了——这个杀害了四名同学的大学生。很多人将他的犯罪归结于他的贫穷和不全面的教育。但我觉得他的犯罪还跟他周围同学的冷漠有很大关系。
冷漠是流行于当今校园及整个社会中的一种可怕的疾病。有的同学在一起学习了4年却从未说过话,有的同学几天没去上课却无人知晓,还有的同学有了严重的心理问题却得不到关心。有人说:像马加爵那样有心理问题的人需要的不是关心而是心理治疗。但在一个人生病的时候,除了医生的治疗,他需要的还有周围人的关心。一个微笑,一声问候都能为他们的生活带来阳光。
有一天半夜,我碰巧听见寝室里一个平时很内向的女孩在轻声抽泣。为了不惊动她,我给她发了一条短信来安慰她。第二天,他告诉我那晚她哭了是因为她的一位好朋友开生日聚会没有请她参加,她觉得自己被大家所忽视了。但我对短信却给了她很大安慰,让她觉得还是有人惦记着她的。
如何才能阻止马加爵的悲剧重演呢?有人呼吁应该在学校开设更多的心理辅导课程,有人建议应该给贫困学生更多的捐助,而我要说的是:同学们,让我们把更多的关爱带给我们的舍友,同学和身边的每一个人!
(五)i am tripping my elephant here once upon a time, a weenie ant was walking on his way.as he was walking, suddenly he felt the ground shaking terribly.he looked around with his paranoid eyes and saw an elephant walking right behind him.quickly, the little ant covered himself with dirt, but one leg was unfortunately left out.a sparrow saw everything, so she flew down with the purpose of teasing the ant: “hey, chicken!watch out your leg, it’s out!” the ant felt embarrassed at first but then calmly responded: “ shi„i am going to trip that elephant.” 我又一次在绊大象
从前,一只小蚂蚁在路上走着,走着走着,忽然感觉到地在颤动,回头一看是一只大象正朝他走来。于是他很快用土盖住身体,不幸一只脚忘在了外面。一只麻雀看到了一切,她飞下来想要取笑一下这只蚂蚁,说:“咳,胆小鬼,小心你的脚,露出来了!” 蚂蚁开始有些尴尬,但一会不紧不慢地告诉麻雀说:“小声点,我要在绊那只大象。”
今天,我站在这个讲台上。但周围的一切让我想到的却并不是一段有趣的回忆。大概是去年的这个时间,我在南京参加另一个全国英语演讲比赛。那是我第一次参加大赛,当然压力非常大。经过压抑无眠的一整夜,我走上了演讲台。那时我有史以来最差的一次演讲。我不记得自己怎么从讲台上走下来的,只记得当时很想找一个地方躲进去再也不出来就想我故事中的蚂蚁。回到学校,我花了好一段时间才恢复过来。幸好有朋友和老师的鼓励,我又一次有了勇气和信心。经过一轮又一轮的演讲和回答问题,我今天站在了这里。让也我领悟了一个道理:一个好的将来是建立在忘掉过去的基础上的,直到真正忘记过去的失败生活才会变的美好。今天,我没有惧怕,又一次站到了大象的面前。
(六)hold fast to your dreams i have a dream today.i have a dream that one day every vally shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.wow, what a dream it has been for martin luther king.but the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up, and sometimes i personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.however, we meed dreams.they nourish our spirit;they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality.they keep us going.most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great.when we were little kids, we all dreamed of doing something big and splashy, something significant.now what we need to do is to maintain them, refresh them and turn them into reality.however, the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how to translate these dreams into actions.well, just start with concrete ives and stick to it.don’t let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong belief of future.through our talents, through our wits, through our endurance and through our creativity, we will make it.hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow.so my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams.whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today.抓牢你的梦想 我今天有一个梦想。
我梦想有一天,幽谷上升,高山下降,崎岖之地变平原,曲折之路成坦途。圣光展露,满照人间。
这对马丁路德金是怎样的一个梦想啊。不过这个变化着的世界似乎在告诉我,在成长的过程中,人们却不知不觉把他们的梦想弄丢了,而我自己也有时会觉得在告别很多童年的梦。然而,我们是需要梦想的。梦想滋养我们的灵魂,梦想代表着我们被现实拉垮时依然具有的希望。它鼓励我们不断前进。大多数成功人士都是梦想家,同时也是普通人,只是他们敢于梦想敢于成就伟大。当我们还是孩子的时候,我们都梦想过做一番大事业,现在应当做的就是保存好那些梦想,再度恢复它们,并将它们实现。不过最难的是我们通常不知道怎样付诸实施。那么,就从最具体的目标开始,坚持去做吧。不要让那些莫名的恐惧迷惑了我们的双眼,影响了我们对未来的信念。用我们的天资和智慧,用我们的耐力和创造力,我们一定会实现梦想。
抓牢你的梦想,因为如果梦想死亡,生活就成了一只折断翅膀的鸟再也不能飞翔。抓牢你的梦想,因为如果失去梦想,生命就成了一块覆盖着冰雪的贫瘠的冻土。亲爱的朋友们,想想那些过去的或已经死去的梦想吧。不管是什么,重新将它捡起,并从今天开始让它重生。
