第二篇：初中英语演讲比赛演讲稿

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.I am very glad to stand here and give you a short speech.Today my topic is “Growing pains”.I hope you will like it.How times flies!After saying goodbye to my happy primary life, I become a junior school student.During this period of time, a great many troubles are around me.I have much homework from my teachers of different subjects.And my mum bought excise books for me to improve my grades.Every day, I kept doing my homework.I want to give up.But the students learning achievement is great, so I don't want to fall behind.I can only work harder!Oh!I am very upset!Because I have little time to enjoy my life.Such as doing sports, going hiking and singing songs.That is fun!But I can not relax now, I am so busy!

I can not even sleep!Every night I go to sleep after nine points, get up about five in the morning.I also have panda eyes now.Recently I have a sore throat.I feel out from place(?).I think it is bad and tiring.Every day I stay at my home, look at the scenery outside the window.I missed my primary school life.But now I often tell myself: Yesterday is history.I have to face the music.I said to myself “DON‟T WORRY!”

I think I must overcome difficulties.To improve myself not left behind，I want to move forward.I want to take the time to finish the homework.Do not let mum down.And take care of my throat.Live is beautiful!I will be happy to look upon my life.There must be lots of pains after all during my growth.It is just like something everybody will experience.Thank you very much，Ladies & gentlemen, It‟s a great honor for me to speak here today, my topic today is “Growing Pains”.Everyone knows, as we grow older and older , there will be a lot of growing pains in our life and study, such as too much homework, no freedom, rebelling against our parents and so on..In my opinion, my greatest growing pain is the pressure of study in Jiaochuan Middle School---a completely new, competitive and challenging school, although I was so happy and proud to get the chance to enter the school at first.I wonder why I can‟t stand out in the exams even if I‟ve tried my best； I wonder why I still can‟t see the rainbow after I worked very hard;I wonder why I‟m no longer as excellent as I was in my primary school;I wonder why ……

How puzzled I am!How frustrated I am!How painful I am!Oh, my god!What should I do? How can I adapt to such environment? “Failure is the mother of success”.Mother‟s word comes to my mind.“Where there is a will, there is a way”.Teacher‟s word encourages me.Well, it‟s time for me to consider:

If I should change my old learning methods;

If I should try to communicate with teachers for help;If I should try to make some new good friends and read some encouraging books….Ok, “Actions speak louder than words”!I always encourage myself, “Go away!Terrible growing pain, I‟ll kill you.!”

Of course, I know, to get rid of the pain, the most important things for me are “confidence, determination & perseverance”.Don‟t you think so?

Boys and girls, believe me and support me please!I‟ll do my best!That‟s all, thank you for listening!

Hello everybody!It's my honor to speak here, I‟m very glad to share my topic with you.Today I'd like to talk something about Growing Pains.There is laughs and tears, joy and sadness in one‟s growing days.When I was a child, I have no pains but many beautiful dreams.However, pains is always together with happiness.My growing pains gets more and more with age.The pains is mainly from my study, my life and the relationships with others.In September of this year, I‟m very proud to enter into Jiaochuan Middle School.In the first two weeks, I felt exciting.I was so curious about everything.However, the growing pains is also coming afterwards especially in my study.Too many exercises need to be done, too many materials need to be read.I find I can‟t finish these quickly.Sometimes I even can‟t keep up with the fast pace of teaching.I find I‟m no longer the top student of primary school, because so many excellent students from different cities come to our school.The competition of study is so fierce.At that time, I think of words of Teacher Ye who is my language and literature teacher in primary school.“You are a sunny, confident, diligent boy, I believe you can be top student anywhere anytime”.“Is that true?” I ask myself.“Yes, you can.” I tell myself in my heart.My teachers and parents also encourage me.There is an old Chinese saying, “No pains, no gains”.I‟ll try my best to study, learn good methods from others, face challenges and overcome difficulties.I believe the colorful rainbow is just after the storm.Growing pains and happiness are really good friends.They give me two wings to fly to the bright future.“Where there is a will there is a way, growing pains is our driving force ” , Do you agree with me? Hope you enjoy your happy and wonderful life.That‟s all.Thank you very much.How time flies!Now I‟m a student in Grade Seven and I‟m facing many pains.To be honest, I don‟t feel happy sometimes.When I was a child, I was an adult, I wouldn‟t have to go to school or have any tests.Now I don‟t want to grow up.When I was young, I was carefree.I could play all day freely.I could do whatever I fell like doing.However, something has changed.I am growing up gradually.During my growth, a lot of trouble has worried me.In school, I have to learn so many lessons and do lots of homework.I‟m out of breath because of the heavy burdens sometimes.I almost have no time to play with my friends.Besides, I have my own ideas and ways of doing things, which causes so many arguments between my parents and me.I want to return to my childhood, when I ways carefree, without so much homework, or so much trouble.However, no matter what happens in our growth, we must have a positive attitude.Every day is new day!We all meet a lot of trouble when we grow up.Parents and teachers always make many strict rules for us.Unluckily, it is an impossible mission to follow all of them, though we try really hard.That‟s why we feel confused and upset.Once, I played hide and seek with my friend Lucy in my home.With a loud bang, Lucy broke mother‟s favorite vase by accident.When my mother saw it, she smiled to Lucy and said, “Don‟t worry.I‟ll buy a new one.” I thought that was the end of the story.How kind she was!But I was wrong.When Lucy left, mother asked me angrily, “Why did you take her there? You should have known what would happen if you play there.” I argued, “But it was Lucy who broke it.” I didn‟t understand why mother was much stricter with me than anyone else.Years later, I went to primary school.I was a good student and all the teachers trusted me.However, the more they trusted me, the more pressure I felt.As a top student, it was my job to set a good example to my classmates.So there was no chance for me to make any mistake.It was really difficult to live up to their expectation.And now, I am a middle school student.I spend much time studying all the subjects well.I wonder whether we study to live or live to study.It‟s really hard to keep a balance between them.I can‟t study well if I want to have fun, while it‟s hard to relax myself if I want to get good grades.It is said that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.I hope I can study well and have fun at school.We have to face different challenges in our life.My mother always tells me to be strict with myself.My teachers always expect me to try my best.They push me hard to help me grow.Though it is painful, I learn a lot.If we encourage ourselves when we are in trouble and put our heart into what we do, all the pains will turn into beautiful memories and strong power.Hello everybody.It‟s my honor to be here today.I want to talk about “my pains of growing up”.How times flies!Now I am a student in Grade Seven.I think it is the first turning point in my school life.In the process of growth, everybody has more or less trouble.Of course, me too.Now I‟m thirteen years old.When I was a child, I hoped to grow up soon.But now, how I wish I were a child!Once I grow up, I found so many pains waiting for me.Firstly, being far from home is a pain of growing up.Just graduating from primary school, I leave my hometown for NingBo to study.I really miss my dear family and friends.How I envy other students!Because they can study in the hometown.Secondly, studying is a pain of growing up.Exactly,studying itself is pleasant.But examinations and scores are really painful.One day, I failed in math test.On that day, I left myself alone, not to eat and not to play.I felt very very sad.I think I lost my confidence in math from that day.Now I‟m very happy to stand here to tell you my pains.Because my mother said to me: No pains,no gains.Pains are friends of gains.Growing up is a process of our life, you may meet much more trouble in the future.If you overcome it, you‟ll be better than before.Otherwise, you may be a loser.So I want to exchange pains for gains, I will do very hard to overcome the growing pains.Then I will be much better than before.Now, come on, my friends!Let‟s welcome the pains from growing up.Ladies and gentlemen, I am glad to stand here to talk about my growing pains.As time passes ,I want to act independently.But my parents sometimes don‟t agree with me.One day, one of my friends phoned me.He said to me, “It‟s a fine day today.Let‟s ride our bikes in the park together.” It was exciting for me.I wanted to ride bikes.So I asked my mother, “Can I ride a bike in the park with my friends?” “No you can‟t.” Replied mom.“Why? I‟m twelve years old.I can ride the bike by myself.” I said loudly.” Because it‟s dangerous to ride bikes on the road.I‟m worried about you.” She said strictly.I got very angry.”Don‟t stop me from doing that!” I shouted impulsively.My mother was disappointed and said nothing to me.She went away.Two days later I felt ashamed, so we had a heart-to-heart conversation.I told mom that sometimes she didn‟t understand me.She listened to me carefully.At last, she said, “Parents all over the world love their children.I hope you remember it.I thought about what she said and realized that I had really made a mistake.Mom is certainly sad now because her son spoke rudely to her.” In the end, I said “sorry” to her.From then on, I have never been puzzled by the growing pains.I also comprehended the trouble I caused.We are in our teens now, so we always think we know best and cannot see our parents‟ points of view.In fact, they love us.In our teens, happiness and pain follow each other like the body and its shadow.We must overcome the pain, face it and say, “I am not afraid of you﹗”

Growth is just like a boat floating on the wave, which comes across both sunshine and storm.When I was a little girl, I am always eager to grow up.I think I can do everything I want when I grow up.But now I discovered that life is not so smooth as I expected.The older you are, the more challenges you have to meet.I found one of the biggest difficulties is how to live independently.When I was a primary student, I depend on my parents when I meet difficulties.I can't do any housework, such as cooking, washing, and making the bed by myself.I don‟t mind it at first.But I soon realized that it becomes a very serious problem, because I'm about to be a junior middle school student.I have to live in the school alone.I couldn‟t depend on my parents!

So I have to learn to live independently in two months.This is a big problem for me, but I have to face it and overcome it.Then, I began to learn how to do the housework.Every day, I have to clean my study room and bedroom.And also I try to wash my clothes.When I get up in the morning, I must make the bed.Through a summer vacation, I finally got the self-improvement.I can face many problems independently.I believe that as long as I am willing to try, there is nothing difficult in the world!

Growth is painful, but everyone should be brave to overcome the difficulties on the way to it.You will succeed in the end!

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Today I want to tell you about my growing pains.„Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it.‟ I believe a brave person can face any danger.We always have many troubles when we try to get over the difficulties.However, how to overcome it? That is up to you to decide.I remember that when I was in the primary school.I have had many difficulties since I started to learn English.Once I had a hard time telling “night” from “light” at the very beginning.My poor memory also added to the difficulties when I decided to enlarge my vocabulary.English words were so elusive that I could only remember them for a while.But I told my self, if you can not remember them, you will not learn English well and get very bad grades.I believe „Difficulty is the mother of the success' and „Believe in myself and I will win '.Now, I succeed.I can stand there and show you my achievement.We can't have good luck forever, so learning how to face difficulties is important.Some people feel upset when they meet difficulties, as they are not brave enough to make their dreams come true.They just want to find a place and stay at there for a long time.So they won't have a great success in the end.While some people are different, they are confident and brave and they choose to face the difficulties with a smile.I have some ways to deal with the grow pains.I think when you meet difficulties in your life, you should be more confident and braver.Always try to find a good way to relax.Maybe talking to others or having a rest is a good way.Then think it over and make a plan to solve your problems.If you do so, you'll find that your difficulties are not as difficult as you think before!That is all.Thank you for your listening.Hello, everyone!My name is Joyce.It is my great honor to stand here today.Now, I‟d like to tell you about the experience in my life.Everyone has a lot of annoyances around you.For example, you may feel upset when you fail in one examination or make a mistake in a very important thing.I also have my own pains.In my childhood, most of the time I played with my friends or read some books.I hardly ever had annoyances.Even when a baby, I laughed and crowed from morning till night.No one ever heard my cry unless I was sick or hurt.But things would not so beautiful forever.When I grew up, I began to be worried about something.I often got ill so I was anxious about my physical health, and also my athletic performance.During the time in my primary school, I had few friends who cared about me so I always felt lonely.And sometimes, the grades likewise to be a problem.I was not so delighted as before.When I was older, I found something different.The annoyances were still around me, but I was not so afraid of them.Everyday, I had to face anything.During the course of solving the problems, I deeply felt the responsibilities on my shoulder.Step by step, I became brave and strong.Now, I don‟t fear in pains in my life.I can face them by using my heart, because I know, growing pains can help me find the way to success.Good morning/afternoon,daer teachers and classmates.My name is Ge Ge.It is my honor to be here to make a speech about growing pains.First,I will tell you a story about a girl.There was a little girl who dreamed to be an excellent host and lived a happy and carefree lift.When the gril was at her primary school, she hoped that she could grow up quickly.At that time,she thought to be an adult was very cool thing because adults could do many things as they like.Time files!The little girl said goodbye to her primary school and becomes a middle school student now.But she finds it impossible for her to live such a happy lift.Then‟s always so much work to do and much trouble to face in middle school.For example ,at school,there are seven subjects in her daily class.So she has to do much homework everyday.Besides,she has to worry about her grades.What‟s worse,after school,she must do many marry exercise.At you can see,it isn‟t an easy life for a little girl.Sometimes,she feels stressed out and she even doesn‟t want to grow up to face all of the things.Well,can you guess who that girl is?Yes,you‟re right.I am that poor little girl who id going through my growing pains.Luckily,I have a good listener and mener----my mother.She often gives me a hand when I am in trouble.Moreover,she is just like a light witch lighten my lift.She tells me that growing up isn‟t a bad thing.It is a natural part of our life,and every me needs to experience it.Actually,all of the experiences will enrich our lift and be the best memories in our life ,even the growing pains.No pains,no gains.Pains make us brave and grown-up while gains can give up success and confidence.And we should never give up when we experience the growing pains.Instead,we mus try our best to overcome it.So,never be afraid of any growing pains.Just remember and believe „you can ‟.Then nothing an stop your footstep of growing up.Believe in your self,that will made everything much easier;work haed,that will make everything more succsssful!Although pains are always mote than gains.But both of them will make life more colorful.let‟s face the pains bravely and enjoy the gains happily.Thank you.Good morning.Ladies and gentleman.I am very glad to stand here and give you a short speech.I am He Xinyang from Jiao chuan Middle school.Today I am going to say something about me and my growing.This September, I came to my new middle school_ Jiao chuan.I was very happy.Because I know this school is the best one in Ningbo and studying in this school is my dream for many years.What made me even happy was that I could make some new friend.I am free to do whatever I want.I was so excited.But two weeks later.I am not happy everyday.Without my parents taking care of me, I have to do my washing.And tidy dorm.When I am at home.A do not have to do these things.The worst thing is that I am not satisfied with my grades.When I was in my primary school, I always the best one in my class or even in my grade.But now there are so many students better than me.I do not know what is wrong with me.I miss my home, my friend and my parents.My teachers speak so fast that I can not follow them.Once I returned home on weekend.I told everything to my cousin on the telephone.She said:”Everybody will leave their home one day.Do not worry about it, my dear.You do not have to be better than everyone around you.But you can be better than you used to.”

When I go back to school, I try to be better than before.try to study hard every minute in class.I try to keep my room cleaner……

Now I am still not the best in my class.But I never worry about it.Because I know: You do not have to be better than everyone around you.But you can be better than you used to.When you come to room at night.Look at the mirror and you think you are the best.You will pass the only test that matters.This is all I want to tell you.Thank you!

How time flies!Now I am a student in Grade Seven.Every day I grow up.Growing is very interesting, but I also have many growing pains.Every year my height grows taller and taller.My parents have to buy many cloths for me because the old clothes are too small for me.And I can‟t buy children‟s tickets when I take a train or a bus, because I‟m too tall.It‟s not good.When I was a little child, I always have much free time.In my spare time I can do a lot of things, like drawing, singing and reading books.Now, I have much homework to do.My spare time becomes shorter and shorter.I have no time to do what I want to do.Sometimes I spent the whole day in my room doing my homework.This makes me very depressed.In school, I have to take a lot of lessons.Some are interesting and some are boring.But we have to learn all of them well.Every day we study and study.Every week we have exams.I don‟t like them, but I try my best to be the first in my class.Sometimes I think it‟s boring.It doesn‟t make me happy.I have many growing pains.They make me blue.But I must overcome them.Growing pains help me grow better.And they make my life colorful, too.Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon!My name‟s Jin Yu.I‟m 13.I am from Zhenhai Jiaochuan Middle School.Day by day, we are growing up.In a blind of eyes, I am 13.As I am growing older, lost of pains and trouble are coming with the growth of age.The biggest one is that I have to deal with more and more homework.Every night, there is a lot of homework, Chinese, Math, English, Science, and so on.Even weekends and holidays are no exception.Much time for resting, playing, and reading is being deprived by the growing homework.What‟s more, my homework is getting more and more, harder and harder.With so much homework to do, you can hardly imagine how upset I am.The secondly problem is I‟m no longer a little girl who can do whatever she wants to do.There are several younger cousins in my family.So I have to set a good example for them and take good care of them.You know what I mean.I‟m no longer a “Little Princess”.When my younger cousins keep crying no matter how hard I try, you just cannot imagine how desperate I am, During my growth, difficult troubles come with difficult stages, and I have no idea what will be the next trouble ahead waiting for me, However, what I‟m sure is that as I‟m solving problems one by one.I‟m growing up step by step.Therefore, I will keep a good mindset facing the coming pains and troubles.I believe I can!That‟s all.Thank you!

It was Monday.People think Monday is unlucky.It‟s true.That Monday, the rain was heavy.Much rainwater was on the window.Everything was just like a funeral.My mood was bad.I looked out of the window.It was dark outside.The sky was constrain.I cried again.Many books were on the floor.My schoolbag was in a corner.I sat on the floor.I cried again.I always have a lot of homework.So, sometimes my room is untidy.That Monday, my mom came in my room while I was doing my homework.She looked around the room.“What did you do?” She said angrily.I said: “I have just done my homework.”

“But your room is so dirty!” She said.She put my schoolbag in that corner, and put my books in the bookcase.Many tears are in my eyes.I was very sad.She said: “I‟m so sad.I have taught you many years.But you can‟t do something by yourself.” She said sadly.She said, “I‟m very sad.I can‟t say anything to you kindly.” I sat on the floor.I stood.I put some books in my bookcase.I put then slowly.My mom hurt my feeling, but it‟s not her fault.Am I wrong? I don‟t know.I an 14 years old.But I think I can‟t do anything very well.IN my life, my mom always does something for me.I didn‟t do anything by myself.Many pains are in my life, but I think I can do everything by myself.I am not a child.I am man!I‟m growing!

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm honored to stand here and talk about my growing pains.When I enter the junior middle school, the pains of growing continuously are coming.The biggest pains are numerous of homework and pressure.Subjects from the original seven kinds to now ten ones.The subjects are more difficult than that in the primary school and the time isn‟t enough to use.In the past, we can enjoy playing and have a rest, but now the weekend is full of the homework.I‟m really out of breath!But we haven‟t got any choices.We are students and as students, we need to do our homework.Doing homework is an way of examining our learning.I resist so much.But now I think, homework can find our mistakes in learning, and then we can correct the mistakes quickly and it is easier to deal with the tests.You may think I‟m just like a spinning top for learning, turn around every time.Then you are wrong.Learning lets me know how to fix up my time.So I have some time to play basketball, play volleyball and I‟m joining the school shoot club.When I think most of my friends are taking part in the university entrance exam and using this test to go to nice university, I will be learning harder and harder to catch up with them.Although pains make us worried, but it gives me a motivation firmly of learning.Growth and pains are relying on each other.Growing brings us pains but the pains let us grow.More pains, much better, and then, you will be successful.Thank you for your listening.Ladies and gentlemen, I‟m going to stand here to horror my growing pains.Along with my growing, some pains had arisen.For example, I am always feeling very busy.And I always spent my times to have nothing to do with my studies.It is a real headache.When I was a child, my life was colorful.I felt eating， drinking, playing.and sleeping were very happy.But now, all of them are change.I have many things to do.Every morning, I have to do exercises.It makes me tired.Then I have many classes.At night, I have to do my homework.My days are busily occupied because of the pressures of studies, and they are go round continuously.I feel much pressure.Then I try to be relaxed.I go to bed at half past nine and get up early.This way of making spirited is useful for me.I hope improvements in efficacy at my life.So I often write my plan.It includes three aspects: my exercise, my studies and my activities.I know doing sports is good for health.I like to design my plan free, because I can change and trim my plan all time.Of course.I always act in accordance with my ability.I know that making over arrangements for my life often cause me feel nervous.Now my lives are orderly.I have many good habits.It makes me joyful and relaxed.I have enough time to study.„No pains,no gains‟,I have culture,I can talk civilization.And I am always praised by teachers.After school,I can learn playing the violin.Now it is my hobby.I am often immerse in the music.So my lives are colorful again.Somebody said,„Some people want it to happen,some wish it would happen,others make it happen.‟I think I am the third people.I can get better and better in the future.Thank you for your listening.

the road not taken in life we must learn to love the lonely path, not fear it.not always is the popular path a safe one.there are always options.the road less traveled can be fun.topic——tourism and ecology: learning through travel 第八届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军——顾秋蓓 a scene to remember gu qiubei shanghai international studies university advisor: gong longsheng good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.today i would like to begin with a story.下午好，各位先生女士们 there was once a physical therapist who traveled all the way from america to africa to do a census about mountain gorillas.these gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world;this put them severely under threat of poaching and being put into the zoo.she went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures.she witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged weve ever been, where in the very depth of the african rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas cuddled their babies.今天，我想首先用一个小故事。曾经有一个物理治疗师谁亲赴从美国到非洲做一个关于山地大猩猩普查。这些大猩猩是对游客的吸引力，主要来自世界各地，这使他们严重不足的偷猎威胁，目前到动物园付诸表决。她去了好奇，但她看见她的决心，增强她的一生奉献为这些美丽的生物战斗。她亲眼目睹的场景，场景带我们到一个地方，我们从来没有影像，我们经历过的，其中在非洲热带雨林的深处，树木，花卉，蝴蝶，大猩猩包围的母亲拥抱自己的婴儿。yes, thats a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called gorillas in the mist, based on a true story of mrs.dian fossey, who spent most of bet lifetime in rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.是的，在我最喜欢的电影之一难忘的场景，呼吁在薄雾大猩猩的基础上，戴安娜弗西夫人，谁在此度过了一生中最卢旺达保护，直到她生命的最后的生态环境有真实的故事。to me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our ecoenvironment.对我来说，电影，不仅提供了一个难忘的场景，而且也是一个永恒提醒我们，我们不应该在发展我们的生态成本，环境，旅游业行为。1 / 3 deforestation to heat lodges is devastating nepal.oil spills from tourist boats are polluting antarctica.tribal people are forsaking their native music and dress to listen to u2 on walkman and wear nike and reeboks.今天，我们生活在一个繁荣的世界，但仍这么多的新问题的威胁。一方面，旅游业作为21世纪最有前途的产业之一，为我们提供了极好的机会都没有看到人都会看到，并前往任何地方有去。这已成为一些人的生活方式，并已被证明是在国内生产总值增长的推动力。它的神奇，把一个繁荣仙境1落后的小城。但在另一方面，可能会出现很多问题-自然景观不自然了。砍伐森林的热小屋是毁灭性的尼泊尔。旅游船油泄漏污染是南极。部落的人丧失了本土音乐和服饰，听取他们对随身听u2和穿耐克和锐步。all these appalling(令人震惊的)facts have brought us to the realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been eroding(侵蚀)our resources.encouragingly, the explosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the united nations has made 2002 the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the worlds attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our ecoenvironment.所有这些令人震惊的事实使我们认识到，我们不能再袖手旁观，什么都不做，因为它认为非常侵蚀了我们的资源。令人鼓舞的是，全球旅游的爆炸性增长已经把旅游业再次在聚光灯下，这就是为什么联合国2002年提出的生态旅游首次提请全世界注意旅游业的好处，但也其能力，破坏我们的生态环境。now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection organizations an: receiving donations--big notes, small notes or even coins--from housewives, plumbers(水管工人), ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and invalids(残疾人), some of them can not afford to send the money but they do.these are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood.why? because they care.because they still want their mother nature back.because they know it still belongs to them.现在每年有很多地方环境保护组织接受捐赠-大笔记，笔记，甚至小硬币-从家庭主妇，管道工，救护车司机，售货员，教师，儿童和残疾人。其中一些人可没有钱给的钱，但他们这样做。这是谁驾驶的出租车，谁在医院护士，谁从他们所在地区的生态破坏的痛苦。为什么？因为他们的照顾。因为他们仍然希望他们回到大自然。因为他们知道它仍然属于他们。the other night, as l saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs.i found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to some-thing else, someplace else.a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seem to have been except the deer.有一天晚上，我看见月亮徘徊在土地和前被送进了无形的，心里却充满了歌曲。我发现自己轻轻哼唱，而不是音乐，而是别的东西，别的地方，一个地方记住，一个地方不动，一个草地，再没有人似乎除了鹿被。2 / 3 and all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that its lime for us to do 和那些难忘的情景更增强了的感觉，现在需要我们做一些事情，为我们自己和我们的未来一代。

再次，我所认为的夫人戴安娜弗西，因为它与她的精神，热情，勇气和强烈的生态环境，我们的感觉是，我们正在进入世界的下一个步骤。and no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our mind, theres always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.不管我们是谁，我们做什么，而且我们去，在我们的脑海，总有一个场景要记住，一个值得努力保护，并争取的场景。thank you very much.非常感谢。3 / 3篇三：英语演讲比赛演讲稿 a song in my heart good evening: ladies and gentlemen throw away my worry,go straight on bravely ,i`ll stand on the center of my stage.i do believe in tomorrow,i do believe i am what i am.these are part of that i most enjoy.yeah!it`s my favourite song since i first heard it.i`m deeply moved by the spirit of what the song delivers.during the song,it`s full of encouragement and confidence that aruse my feelings.especially,i appreciate one lyric.i do believe i am what i am.oh,how confident!who can say it so loudly!it implies that as a man or woman ,one of most important quality is confidence.if only[provided that]we are confident of what we face up with,we `ll make the most as a man ,a useful motto is a light to darkness.that’s all, thank you for attention.篇四：21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛演讲稿

第三届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军——梁励敏

梁励敏

北京外国语大学

梁励敏，生于浙江杭州，毕业于北京外国语大学，获英语语言文学硕士学位，研究生期间专攻方向为美国社会研究。2002年进入中央电视台英语频道采访组工作，所采写的新闻获得2003年全国新闻彩虹奖二等奖。

专家点评:引用文学大师的诗句作为开场白，与结束语首尾呼应，颇有感染力。东西方文化的融合表现得十分鲜明，意味深长，是篇优秀的演讲。crossing the sea good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.the title of my speech today is crossing the sea.an english poet by the name of rudyard kipling once wrote in his poem we and they: all the people like us are we and everyone else is they we live over the sea while they live over the way we eat pork and beef with cowhorn-handled knives they who gobble their rice off a leaf are horrified out of their lives.when these lines first caught my eyes, i was shocked-how could two peoples remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past? todays society, of course, is an entirely different picture.those people who used to eat with cowhorn-handled knives might be very skillful in using chopsticks, and those people who used to gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.indeed, just take china as an example: our modern life has been influenced by western style of living in so many ways that its no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at mcdonalds and even rather elderly people dressed in apple jeans.however, these are only some expressions of the cultural changes taking place in our society today.what is really going on is a subtle but significant restructuring of the nations mentality.just look around.it is therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient eastern civilization are already living under strong inf1uence of the western culture.but it is not only in china that we find the incorporation of the two cultures.take the chinese acupuncture as another example: this traditional treatment of diseases is finally finding its way to the west and hence the underlying notion that illness is resulted from the imbalance between yin and yang within the body--an idea which would strike any westerner as incredible in the past!ladies and gentlemen, we live in a great epoch when the global integration of economy and the information revolution have brought cultures of the world closer than ever before.we live in a particular era when countries, east and west, find themselves in need of readjusting their traditional values.we live, at the same time, at a critical juncture of our evolution because such problems as ethnic conflicts and regional unrest are increasingly posing a threat to the peace and happiness of the whole human race.to cope with such an era and to embrace an even brighter therefore, it is our sacred responsibility to promote the cultural exchanges and hence the mutual understanding between china and the rest of the world.it is my happiest dream that the new generation of chinese will not only grow up drinking coca-cola and watching hollywood, but also be blessed with the far-reaching benefits of multiple cultures;benefits that our forefathers had never, ever dreamed of.to end my speech, i would like to quote rudyard kipling again: all the people like us are we and everyone else is they but once you cross over the sea you will end by looking on we as only a sort of they thank you.译文:穿越海洋

女士们、先生们，晚上好。今天，我演讲的题目是:《穿越海洋》。

英国诗人罗得雅德·吉卜林曾写过一首诗，名叫《我们与他们》，其中写道: 像我们的人是我们

其余的人是他们

我们生活在海这边

他们生活在路那边

我们用牛角柄的刀叉吃猪牛肉

吞吃粽叶包饭的他们吓得要死。

第一次读到这首诗，我很震惊——过去两个民族何以如此疏离、彼此陌生?当然今日的社会呈现出完全不同的情景:那些过去吃米饭的人们也开始喜欢吃鱼和薯条。的确如此，就拿中国来说，西方的生活方式已经广泛地影响了我们的现代生活，以致对于年轻人对摇滚乐着迷，全家去吃麦当劳，老年人穿苹果牌牛仔裤，大家都已习以为常。

然而，这不过是我们当今社会中所发生的文化变迁的表面现象而已，真正发生的却是我们的民族心理开始了微妙而又有重大意义的重建，大家只要看看周围就会清楚。

第四篇：初中英语演讲比赛3分钟演讲稿

my chinese dream 我的中国梦

i am very glad to stand here to give thier a short speech.today my topic is that the youth are the future of motherland 很高兴站在这里做这篇短小的演讲，我演讲的主题是青年是祖国的未来。

在准备英语演讲比赛的时候，我本想简单地从网上搜索一些文章作为我演讲的内容。我看过很多文章，有著名主持人的、北大教授的、大学生的，也有初中生的。但是看完之后，我放弃了当初的想法，我甚至为当初的想法感到有一些羞愧。因为今天我站在这里向大家演讲的主题，是一个庄重而严肃的主题；是一个充满荣耀与自豪的主题；是每一个中华儿女共同期盼的主题。每个人都有属于他们自己的中国梦，而我，当然也有一直萦绕在心怀只属于我的中国梦。

so what?s my chinese dream ? finally i will announce.we had learned a lot of knowledge and understood a lot of truth in the book.we had a basic concept to our country at that time.we know that our country is full of sunshine , and we are the future of our country, and our dreams are to be the hope of our motherland.我的中国梦是什么样的？先卖个关子。

记得刚刚上学那会儿，我们天真无邪。在课本里，我们学到了很多很多知识，也明白了很多很多道理，我们对祖国也有了一个最基本的概念。我们知道我们的祖国到处充满阳光，正在慢慢发展，而我们，就是祖国未来的花朵，未来的希望。我们梦想将来能够成为祖国的希望。

这，是我们最初的中国梦。最真诚的我们，最真诚的梦。

但是，不知道什么时候开始，我们长大了，生活似乎一下子变得和以前不太一样了，与此同时，虽然我们很不想承认但是却又不得不承认的是，我们的思想，我们的为人处世观，我们对我们祖国的看法，也潜移默化中慢慢开始了转变。我们的社会变得到处充满欺骗、冷漠、勾心斗角、压力、腐败、险恶，我们变得暴躁，不冷静，愤世嫉俗。我们的国家，似乎也开始变得千疮百孔。而好多我们亲爱的祖国委以重任培养的青年学生们变得轻浮、急躁，更别提什么梦想，什么中国梦了？

are we sick, or is our dear motherland sick? 我很惊讶，当大街上有老人摔倒，我们不敢再去扶起；我很难过，当有人做了好事被报道，更多的人说他做作；我很伤心，当我看到我们众多的青年人变得冷漠、市侩、欺诈以及缺乏理想。

到底是我们病了，还是我们亲爱的祖国病了？

i dont want to talk about the construction of our country politics, and also speak impassioned speech on the diaoyu island event.i just want to appeal young people,showing the side of youth,good and confidence.we must learn to organize our own thoughts, correct our own concept, and change our direction to the right side in future life.china dream actually lies in our young generation, especially of the intellectuals.我的中国梦，不想大谈政治，也不想对钓鱼岛事件发表慷慨激昂的演讲。我只想呼吁，呼吁我们年轻人，呼吁我们祖国的希望能够将我们的青春一面，将我们的善良一面，将我们的自信一面好好展现出来。我们要学会整理自己的思想，端正自己看问题的观念，摆正自己的人生方向。我们的中国梦实际上正掌握在我们自己手上，掌握在我们年青一代，尤其是知识分子手上。也许，一个人，是渺小的；但是当他和祖国联系起来时，就是伟大的。也许，一个梦想，是渺小的，但是当它成为祖国的梦想时，就是不可估量的。也许，我无法用自己一个人的力量撬起整个中国，但是我们千千万万年轻人一起为祖国的梦想去奋斗时，我们的祖国就足以令世界颤抖、动容。

i dream to construct our beauty china with millions of young people who have the same dream.we do it without exaggeration but only with persistence.我梦想和万千具有相同梦想的年轻人去建设我们的美丽中国，没有虚浮，只有执着，只有奋斗，只有勇于担当。这就是我的中国梦！that is my speech,thanks everyone.我的演讲就到这里，谢谢大家。

we are the world ,we are the future 世界是我们的，未来是我们的

someone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”.i don?t know who wrote these words, but i?ve always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be.we are all in the position of the farmers.if we plant a good seed ,we reap a good harvest.if we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.一些人说?我们正在读一本无穷的书中的第一章的第一节。?我不知道谁写了这些话，但是我一直很喜欢它，因为它提醒了我，我们能够创造我们想要的未来。we are young.“how to spend the youth?” it is a meaningful question.to answer it, first i have to ask “what do you understand by the word youth?” youth is not a time of life, it?s a state of mind.it?s not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees.it?s the matter of the will.it?s the freshness of the deep spring of life.我们都是农夫。如果我们播下好的种子，我们将会丰收。如果我们的种子很差，有很多草籽，收割的将是无用的庄稼。如果我们什么也不播种，什么收获也没有。youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease.this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20.nobody grows old merely by a number of years.we grow old by deserting our ideals.years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.我们是年轻的。?怎样度过青春??这是个有意义的问题。为了去回答它，我首先要问?从‘青春’这个词中你能理解到什么?? 青春不是人生的一个时期，而是精神的一种状态。青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志。青春是生命的深泉在涌流.whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ?s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what?s next and the joy of the game of living.in the center of your heart and my heart there?s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young.a poet said “to see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour.several days ago, i had a chance to listen to a lecture.i learnt a lot there.i?d like to share it with all of you.let?s show our right palms.we can see three lines that show how our love.career and life is.i have a short line of life.what about yours? i wondered whether we could see our future in this way.well, let?s make a fist.where is our future? where is our love, career, and life? tell me.yeah, it is in our hands.it is held in ourselves.一位诗人说?从一粒沙看世界，从一朵花看天堂，把无限放在你的手掌，永恒在一刹那里收藏?。几天前，我有了一个听讲座的机会，从中我学到了很多东西。现在，我想把这些与大家共享。让我们伸出右手，我们可以看到手掌中的展示我们的爱，事业和生活的三条线。我在生活方面这条线很短，那你们的呢?我想知道我们是否可以用这种办法去看我们的未来。好的，让我们一起握拳。我们的未来在哪儿?我们的爱、事业和生活在哪儿?告诉我!是的，它们就在我们的手中。它们被我们自己掌握着。

we all want the future to be better than the past.but the future can go better itself.don?t cry because it is over, smile because it happened.from the past, we?ve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher.we?ve learnt that we can?t choose how we feel, but we can choose what篇二：初中英语三分钟演讲比赛活动方案

六、周怡雪，19岁，上海 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。

大学生英语演讲稿17 change the ingredients of your life

十七、王晨，20岁，安徽

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。

大学生英语演讲稿16

十六、杨颖，21岁，海南

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。

several days before,when i was walking around in the courtyard,i looked up at the sky and suddenly found the shouting star appear once and then vanish from my sight.at that time,i couldnt forbear to make a shivering fit.i couldnt forbear to shout one word out:hope!and then,i fell into thought.when i got back to the true life,i felt that in the center of my heart there was a clear conclusion never surpassed before－－－it was love,and then i continued to walk around with the echoes of my voice and the darkness.you might say that it was philosophy,but i prefered to call it love itself rather than philosophy.you ask, why?i say because its true that we have been leading a difficult life,for we need not only to be under various external pressures,but also to be in the face of internal perplexities.you would be effected by the warmth of life if soneone gives you an understanding look during your bitter struggle.even a mere glance can mske you moved and you ask,what is the reason for us to seek love?i want to answer you by using a paragraph from rossell:i have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy-ecstasy so great that i would often have sacrificed all the rest of my life for a few hours for this joy.i have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness-that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss.i have sought it, finally, because in the union of love i have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined.you ask,what is you dream?i can answer in one word---it is love.i have a dream,that one day,every part of this world will be full of love and people always help each other.i have a dream,that one day,the main melody of the world will be to foster and enhance love forever and ever.i have a dream,that one day,in each part of society,love is executed and isnt concealed by habit,blurred by time,and eroded by laziness.i have a dream,today!who will separate us from love? will hardship, or distress , or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? no, in all these things we are more than conquerors through love.i have a dream,that one day,i will be able to live as the only herald to the gaudy spring of love.i wouldnt care success or failure, for i will only struggle ahead as long as i have been destined to the distance.i wouldnt care the difficulties around, for what i can leave on the earth is only their view of my back since i have been marching toward the horizontal.i have a dream that one day,when the saints and poets look at this world,they all will hear the footsteps of love!(《圣经》中引用内容译文：爱是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈；爱是不嫉妒，爱是不自夸，不张狂，不作害羞的事，不求自己的益处，不轻易发怒，不计算人的恶，不喜欢不义，只喜欢真理；凡事包容篇四：初中英语比赛演讲稿new crossing the sea good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.the title of our speech today is crossing the sea.an english poet by the name of rudyard kipling once wrote in his poem we and they: all the people like us are we and everyone else is they we live over the sea while they live over the way we eat pork and beef with cowhorn-handled knives they who gobble their rice off a leaf are horrified out of their lives.when these lines first caught my eyes, i was shocked-how could two peoples remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past? todays society, of course, is an entirely different picture.those people who used to eat with cowhorn-handled knives might be very skillful in using chopsticks, and those people who used to gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.indeed, just take china as an example: our modern life has been influenced by western style of living in so many ways that its no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at mcdonalds and even rather elderly people dressed in apple jeans.however, these are only some expressions of the cultural changes taking place in our society today.what is really going on is a subtle but significant restructuring of the nations mentality.just look around.therefore, it is our sacred responsibility to promote the cultural exchanges and hence the mutual understanding between china and the rest of the world.it is my happiest dream that the new generation of chinese will not only grow up drinking coca-cola and watching hollywood, but also be blessed with the far-reaching benefits of multiple cultures;benefits that our forefathers had never, ever dreamed of.to end my speech, i would like to quote rudyard kipling again: all the people like us are we and everyone else is they but once you cross over the sea you will end by looking on we as only a sort of they thank you.译文:穿越海洋

女士们、先生们，晚上好。今天，我演讲的题目是:《穿越海洋》。

英国诗人罗得雅德.吉卜林曾写过一首诗，名叫《我们与他们》，其中写道: 像我们的人是我们

其余的人是他们

我们生活在海这边

他们生活在路那边

我们用牛角柄的刀叉吃猪牛肉

吞吃粽叶包饭的他们吓得要死。

第一次读到这首诗，我很震惊——过去两个民族何以如此疏 离、彼此陌生?当然今日的社会呈现出完全不同的情景:那些过去吃米饭的人们也开始喜欢吃鱼和薯条。的确如此，就拿中国来说，西方的生活方式已经广泛地影响了我们的现代生活，以致对于年轻人对摇滚乐着迷，全家去吃麦当劳，老年人穿苹果牌牛仔裤，大家都已习以为常。

然而，这不过是我们当今社会中所发生的文化变迁的表面现象而已，真正发生的却是我们的民族心理开始了微妙而又有重大意义的重建，大家只要看看周围就会清楚。

女士们，先生们，我们恰逢一个伟大的时代:全球经济一体化、信息革命使得世界各种文化联系比以往更加紧密;我们恰逢一个特殊的年代:无论是东方国家还是西方国家都意识到自身急需调整传统价值。与此同时，我们正生活在发展的关键时刻:种族冲突，地区动荡正越来越威胁着整个人类的和平与幸福。如何对待这一时代，拥抱更加灿烂的未来，我们需要学会在越来越小的世界大家庭中更加和睦地生活。

亲爱的老师们，我们掌握英语，得以了解西方文化，与此同时，又不失本民族的文化特征。

因此，促进中国与世界的文化交流与相互理解是我们神圣的责任。

最后，再次以罗得雅德.吉卜林的诗作为我此次演讲的结尾: 谢谢。像我们的人是我们 其余的人是他们 然而一旦你们穿洋越海 就不会再把我们 看做仅仅是他们。
