中学生英语演讲稿1: Opportunities and Challenges First, I would like to know, what does your destiny offer you? Happiness, wisdom, a strong body or something else.If I had asked this question to president Nixon, he would probably had said,”Our destiny offers not the cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity.”
Needless to say, one of the biggest opportunities given to China is the 2008 Olympic Games.Till now, we have used two sevenths of the preparation time.How much changes have you seen? New roads, new subway lines, public-exercising equipments with beautiful colors, large blocks of grass fields, and also lots of modern gyms which are under construction.Other than those, there are even more good effects brought to us by the Olympic Games that cannot be seen directly.For example, more and more people will get to know China.I’m sure the mysterious Chinese culture will attract them strongly.And the games will also do good to the economy and environment, for it is gaining the attention of foreign investors and the awareness of environmental protection is being strengthened.What is more, Olympic Games give a unique opportunity to inspire and educate a new generation of Chinese youth with the Olympic values and the Olympic spirit.Now that we have seen so many advances, could you even imagine us losing the holding rights?
I’ve already said a lot about the Olympics and China.But I think everyone should use some time to think of this question, ”Does the Olympic Games have any special meaning to you?” 外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com
For us, I mean the Chinese youth, 2008 Olympic Games is a tremendous gift.Because what we are waiting for is to do something significant as repaying the love given to us.The society is just like a ship, and in our dreams the captain is waving his hand and saying ”Hey!Come here and take the helm!”How charming his voice is, but we have never heard of it in our true life.This morning, however, when we wake up, we will see the Olympic Games waving its hand.After chewing, most of us will have at least one plan about what to do for the Olympic Games.And mine is to be a “comforter”----that is someone who will give comfort to others.At the end of my speech, I hope all the preparation will go well, and everyone will show their ability to the world.Let us seize opportunities and give a big smile to challenges.中学生英语演讲稿2: THE DREAM CAME TRUE----The First Day I Work For The 2008 Olympics I woke up and looked at my watch.Oh my god, it’s 7:30 already!I have to get up at once otherwise I’ll be late.Today I’ll take the Australian athletes as a tour guide around Beijing, and I’m going to be the interpreter at the Beijing Olympic Games opening ceremony tomorrow.This has always been a dream of mine since Beijing won the bid of the Olympics, and now the dream has finally come true—I have already become a successful interpreter.And today is another important day of my interpreting career.I’m a little nervous but, of course, very excited.Here goes my plan for today: Well, our first destination is, surely, the landmark of Beijing, the symbol of the 5000 years’ civilization—the Forbidden City—where the emperors and empresses of the Ming and 外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com
Qing Dynasties lived, and it’s really grand.It was renovated recently because of the coming Olympics.The second place we are going to is the Great Wall.This is the only building, I hear, that can been seen from the moon, and it represents the diligence and the wisdom of whole Chinese nation.Now, it’s time for lunch.We plan to have… What? You say ”Beijing Duck”? Yeah, right you are!We’ll come back to the center of Beijing, and we’ll have dinner at “Quanjude” restaurant.You can enjoy the most delicious Chinese food—Beijing Duck, and you must be very pleased to hear this!Then I’ll show you around the Summer Palace.It’s the royal garden for the emperors and empresses of the Qing Dynasty to pass the hot summers.After visiting those historical places, you’ll surely be impressed by the long-lasting history of our great country.At the same time, during the journey of moving from one place of interest to another, we won’t miss having a glance of Beijing’s modern civilization.The skyscrapers, beautiful avenues and advanced facilities must also catch your eyes.And we’ll also have a chance to experience Beijing’s fast development in person.We’ll do some shopping at the shopping center near the Olympics Village.You can buy everything there of course except guns and drugs which are seriously forbidden in China.To see is to believe.What you see and experience will be strong prove of your choice to Beijing, China!That’s all about my plan for the day.What do you think of it, my friends? Today, I’m very proud to be here to give a speech about a dream, a dream for which we worked together for nine years or even more.As Beijing becomes the host city of the 29th Olympic Games, every Beijinger cares for the environment and good manners and behaviors much more 外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com
than before.Now Beijing has already made herselves’ dream come true.So I must work harder to catch up with her steps.Knowing the hardness of making a dream into reality, I need to do my best at every side of my work, so then I believe my little dream—to be an interpreter—will definitely be realized someday in the future!
THANK YOU 梦想成真
现在是2008年,我已经成为一名成功的翻译。今天我要带领来自澳大利亚的Olympics运动员们游览北京。明天我将在2008年北京奥运会开幕式上担任同声翻译,这曾是我多年的梦想,现在它终于实现了。面对今天和明天的工作,我当然有些紧张,但也很兴奋,以下是我今天的计划。
我们的第一站就是北京的标志建筑,中华五千年历史文化的象征——紫禁城,它是明朝和清朝帝王们的居所。为了迎接北京奥运,它最近已被修缮一新。
我们要去的第二个地方是天坛,这是我听说过的唯一一座能在月球上直接看得到的地球建筑,它是中华民族勤劳与智慧的结晶。
午餐时间,我们的目的地是全聚德餐厅,大家将会品尝到世界上最美味的中国食品——北京烤鸭。然后我将带大家参观颐和园,这曾是清朝皇族们的避暑胜地。
通过参观这些历史性的建筑,相信大家一定会对中国源远流长的历史文化留下深刻的印象,同时大家还将亲自体验现代北京的高速发展,相信这些摩天大楼、时尚的大道以及先进的设施也一定会吸引大家的眼睛,眼见为实,大家的所见所闻一定会更有力的证明了大家当初对中国北京的选择和信赖。外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com

中学生英语演讲稿3:如何提高我们的英语水平
Good evening, everybody.I am ***.Now, I am making a speech about how to improve our English for you.TThere are altogether 10 points.
1、What is language for?
Some people seem to think it’s for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words——the longer the words are, the better.That’s wrong.Language is for the exchange of ideas, for communication.
2、The way to learn a language is to practice speaking it as often as possible.
3、A great man once said it is necessary to drill as much as possible, and the more you apply it in real situations, the more natural it will become.
4、Learning any language takes a lot of effort.but don't give up.
5、Relax!Be patient and enjoy yourself.Learning foreign languages should be fun.
6、Rome wasn’t built in a day.Work harder and practice more.Your hard work will be rewarded by God one day.God is equal to everyone!
7、Use a dictionary and grammar guide constantly.Keep a small English dictionary with you all the time.When you see a new word, look it up.Think about the word——use it, in your mind, in a sentence.
8、Try to think in English whenever possible.When you see something, think of the English word of it;then think about the word in a sentence.
9、Practice tenses as much as possible.When you learn a new verb, learn its various forms.外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com
10、I would also like to learn more about the culture behind the language.When you understand the cultural background, you can use the language better.Finally, I wanna give you a sentence that is one of my favorite proverbs.We must accept finite disappointment but we must never lose infinite hope.Ok, that's the speech.Thanks.中学生英语演讲稿4: To me March 28th was a lucky day.It was on that particular evening that I found myself at central stage, in the spotlight.Winning the “21st Century·Ericsson Cup” Seventh National English Speaking Competition is a memory that I shall treasure and one that will surely stay.More important than winning the Cup is the friendship that has been established and developed among the contestants, and the chance to communicate offstage in addition to competing onstage.Also the competition helps boost public speaking in China, a skill hitherto undervalued.For me, though, the competition is a more personal experience.Habitually shy, I had been reluctant to take part in any such activities.Encouraged by my friends, however, I made a last-minute decision to give it a try.In the course of preparation I somehow rediscovered myself, a truer me.I found that, after all, I like communicating with other people;that exchanging views can be so much fun—and so much rewarding, both emotionally and intellectually;that public speaking is most effective when you are least guarded;and that it is essential to success in every walk of life.外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com
At a more practical level, I realized knowing what you are going to say and how you are going to say it are equally important.To take the original ideas out of your head and transplant them, so to speak, to that of others, you need to have an organized mind.This ability improves with training.Yet there should not be any loss or addition or distortion in the process.Those ideas that finally find their waysintosanother head need to be recognizably yours.Language is a means to transmit information, not a means to obstruct communication.It should be lucid to be penetrating.In China, certain public speaking skills have been unduly emphasized.Will it really help, we are compelled to ask, to bang at the podium or yell at the top of your lungs, if you have come with a poorly organized speech, a muddled mind, and unwillingness to truly share your views?
Above all, the single most important thing I learnt was that as a public speaker, you need to pay attention, first and foremost, to the content of your speech.And second, the structure of your speech: how one idea relates and progresses to another.Only after these come delivery and non-verbal communication: speed control, platform manner, and so on.Pronunciation is important, yet of greater importance is this: Is your language competent enough to express your ideas exactly the way you intend them to be understood?
I was informed afterwards that I was chosen to be the winner for my “appropriately worded speech, excellent presence and quick-witted response”.In so remarking, the 外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com
judges clearly showed their preference: they come to listen for meaningful ideas, not for loose judgments, nor easy laughters.Some contestants failed to address their questions head on.Some were able to, but did not knows wheresto stop—the dragging on betrayed their lack of confidence.The root cause was that they did not listen attentively to the questions.Or they were thinking of what they had prepared.As I said in my speech, “It is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking...to take them [issues like globalization] on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way”.We need to respond honestly.A competition like this draws talented students from all over the country.And of course, I learnt more things than just about public speaking.Since in the final analysis, public speaking is all about effective communication.And this goes true for all communications, whatever their setting.中学生英语演讲稿5: 如何才能受人欢迎
Most people would like to be popular with others, but not everyone can achieve this goal.What is the secret to popularity? In fact, it is very simple.The first step is to improve our appearance.We should always make sure that we stay in good shape and dress well.When we are healthy and well-groomed, we will not only look better but also feel better.In addition, we should smile and appear friendly.After all, our facial expression is an important part of our appearance.If we can do this, people will be attracted to our good looks and impressed by our confidence.外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com
Another important step is developing more consideration for others.We should always put others first and place their interests before our own.It's also important to be good listeners;in this way people will feel comfortable enough to confide in us.However, no matter what we do, we must not gossip.Above all, we must remember to be ourselves, not phonies.Only by being sincere and respectful of others can we earn their respect.If we can do all of the above, I am sure popularity will come our way.如何才能受人欢迎
大部分的人都想受人欢迎,但是并非每个人都能达到目标。受欢迎的秘诀何在?事实上是很简单的。步骤一,先改善我们的外表。我们得确保自己很健康,并且穿着体面。当我们既健康又穿戴整齐时,不仅看起来更有精神,自己也会觉得好多了。此外,我们要保持微笑并表现得很友善。毕竟,脸部表情是外观很重要的一环。如果我们能做到这一点,别人会被我们的美好外表所吸引,并对我们的自信印象深刻。
另一个重要步骤,就是培养对别人的体贴。永远以他人为重,并把别人的利益放在自己的利益之前。当个好听众也是很重要的;如此一来,别人才能很自在地对我们吐露心事。然而,不管我们做什么事,绝对不要说闲言闲语。最重要的是,要做自己,不要当虚伪的人。只有对人真诚又尊重时,才能赢得他人的尊敬。如果我们能做到以上几点,我相信受人欢迎是指日可待的事。
中学生英语演讲稿6: 关爱自然
Mother Nature is an exquisite and complex life-system.It's charm appears in the trees, stream, soil, insects, moss and fungus, all the things on the earth in different shapes, which are interdependent.When you get close to nature, please remember, each tree, stone and species of animals here has lived harmoniously for hundreds, thousands or even millions of years.When we pass away, they will continue to live.They are the real masters, while we are just the passer-by.However, the conduct we unconsciously do, such as picking, lumbering, tramping and abusing can probably destroy the balance of their life.Therefore, we must reduce our bad influence as much as possible.While you are enjoying the nature, do not forget please, the beauty of the lives also needs to be 外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com
concerned with and to be protected.Each life on the earth has a long and touching evolutionary story.From the origin, the lives of the human being are equal to those of others;they both are the composing parts of Mother Nature.Nevertheless, for some inexplicable reasons, the human becomes the spirits of all creatures.Of course, it is the result of the evolution, but still we should be grateful to all our companions in nature for the opportunity they offer.In spite of this, humans cannot live without earth.They live on the earth, drink the sweet water, and enjoy the sunshine, the air, the sky, the fruit;the grains utilize the energy and so on.In a word, the human being cannot live without nature, and Mother Nature makes us grow stronger.I do not like the word “Pet”, but preferring the word “Animal” instead.I have been loving animal since I was just a little boy.When thinking of the “Pet Fashion”, I always feel much annoyed.For the animals will be given a shackle and lose their liberty if they become someone's pets.Their natural attribution can be deprived, too.Up to now, relying on their scientific power, the human have opened up too much and over developed nature, in order to fill up their growing appetites of wealth.They destroy the balance of nature, however, they don't realize, their own development and existence will be threatened.Therefore, our sights should be focused on nature and we should try to develop the concept of “keeping human and nature in unity”.We should lay emphasis on our education with consider cultural and natural emotion.To use the vivid example to wake up the conscience in people's hearts.To love nature is to love our mankind.As the new generation who enter the new century, we should make efforts to love and respect nature, to treat it well and protect it.At last, we have the night to enjoy it.中学生英语演讲稿7: 享受生活、牢记使命

In my 18 years of life, there have been many things.University days are the best part of them.I can never forget the days when I stepped into my university.I was impressed by its garden-like campus, its enthusiastic students and especially its learning atmosphere.I at once fell in love with it.After the arduous military training, I get absolutely absorbed in my studies.The classes given by the teachers are excellent.They provide us with information not only from our textbooks but from many other sources as well.They easily arouse my insatiable desire to take in as much as I can.Frankly speaking, at first I had some difficulty following the teachers.However, through my own efforts and thanks to my teachers' guidance, I made remarkable progress.Now I've benefited a lot from lectures and many other academic reports.Learning is a long process;I'll keep exploring in the treasure house of knowledge to enrich myself.This summer I got out of the ivory tower and entered the real world.A publishing house offered me a part-time job in compilation and revision.At the beginning I was belittled by my colleagues.But they were really surprised when I translated seven English articles over 5,000 words on only one day.Gradually, they began to look at me with respectful eyes.In their opinion I turned out to be a useful and trustworthy colleague.I also realize that only those who bring happiness for others can be truly happy.So I often take part in activities concerning public welfare.I once went to a barren mountain village with my classmates.We taught the kids there who could not afford school.While showing them how broad and how civilized the outer world is, I was deeply touched by their eagerness to learn, their honesty and their purity.I couldn't control my tears on the day when we left.The precious experience with the poor kids made me aware of the responsibility on the shoulders of us, future teachers.外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com
Besides study and social practice, there are entertainments as well.I do body building every day, hoping to keep healthy and energetic.We also write a play and put it on in our spare time.Campus life is the most splendid time.But different people have different choices.The majority of students cherish their beautiful season and cherish the hope that one day they'll become outstanding.But there are indeed some students still under ignorance.They gather together for eating, drinking or playing cards.They're busy in searching for a girlfriend or a boyfriend.They forget completely about their mission as college students and the hope of their motherland.Finally, I do hope everybody can try their best to become a worthy citizen of the country.I do hope everybody can become the backbone of our nation and make great contributions to society!
译文:享受生活、牢记使命
在我这18年的生命中,有着许多美好的经历,而大学生活则是其中最难忘的一段。我永远不会忘记刚刚跨进大学校园的那几天:花园一样的校园,热情活跃的学生,特别是那里的学习气氛,给我留下了深刻的印象。
经过了一段艰辛的军事训练后,我完全融入到了学习中。老师的讲课真是棒极了。他们传授给我们的不仅是课本上的知识,还包括其他各种各样的信息。我渴望获得尽可能多的知识,是老师激发起了我这个不能满足的欲望。
坦率地说,一开始我还不能跟上老师的讲课。但是,通过我自己的努力以及老师的指导,我取得了巨大的进步。我从老师的授课和其他许多学术报告中获益匪浅。
学习是个循序渐进、长期的过程,我会在知识的宝库中不断探索,丰富自我。今年暑假,我跨出象牙塔,进入并接触到了真正的社会。一个出版社给了我编辑和校对的兼职工作。外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com
工作初期,同事们都礁不起我。但是,当我在一天之内翻译完7篇(总字数超过5000字)的英语文章后,他们真的是
大吃一惊。渐渐地,他们开始用尊敬的眼光看待我。他们认为,我变成了一个有用并值得信赖的好同事。
我也同样意识到,只有那些为别人带来幸福的人才能真正的幸福。因而,我经常参加有关公众福利享业的活动。有一次,我和同学去了一个贫痔的山区村庄。在那里,我们教那些没钱上学的孩子。我向他们展示了一幅宽广、文明的外部世界的画面,但同时我也被那些孩子学习的渴望、他们的真诚和纯洁深深打动了。在我们离开的那一天,我那不争气的眼泪禁不住流了下来。这次珍贵的经历让我们这些未来的教师意识到了自己肩上的责任重大。除了学习和社会实践,我还经常参加娱乐活动。我每天都锻炼身体,希望保持健康和充满活力。我们还在业余时间写剧本并排练演出。
园生活是最丰富多彩的。但是,不同的人有着不同的选择。大多数的学生珍惜他们的美好时光,并殷切希望将来能出类拔萃。可是,的确有学生无动于衷。他们聚在一起吃喝玩乐;他们忙于追求异性朋友;他们完全忘记了自己作为大学生的使命和祖国对他们的厚望。最后,我希望每个人都能尽最大努力成为国家的有用人才。我也希望每个人都能成为我们民族的脊梁,为社会做出巨大的贡献!中学生英语演讲稿8: 环保演讲稿:我们只是自然大家庭中普通的一员

Honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen.Today,we are gathering here to discuss a very hot issue.how to find harmony in a new age between man and nature? Where modern science and technology are concerned I am only a layman I have to say.However, living in this ”new age“ , seeing my dear ones suffering from respiratory diseases from time to time, finding the beautiful colors of green and blue are being replaced by that of gray and pale, and realizing that our mother planet is getting more and more unhealthy;I can't help trying to offer my idea and my trivial efforts to look for the answer of the question.As the ancient Greek oracle goes: know thyself.I think in answering this above-mentioned question, this precondition is also very important.Who are we? This is a question, which should be answered not only by those specialists, but also by every one of human beings.Some people may proudly say: we are the masters of nature.It is true that the idea of ”man can conquer nature“ has dominated people's mind for years, and it is true, man has kept acting like a master and doing whatever things he wants for thousands of years.However, as the consequence of this kind of ”leadership“ , now the ”master“ seems to be confronted with problems that are far beyond his control.Facts are really very ample.The green house effect leaves islands and cities along the coast, such as this oriental pearl-Shanghai, in danger of the disaster of being drowned;the holes of the ozone layer make the earth less suitable to live for some creatures including human beings;the phenomena of EL Nino and La Nina leave the land with serious flood and drought, and the diseases, caused by pollution, are increasing at an incredible speed...Seeing all these facts, can we still ignore the counterattack of nature? We are not the masters of nature.Facing all the disasters made by ourselves, we, mankind as a whole should realize that we are just a normal member of the big family of nature.Any mistreatment towards nature will meet only with the revenge from her.外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com
By saying so, I do not mean we should give a sudden stop to any development.Because that will result in a threat to the existence of human society.I mean we should treat nature equally, leaving the chance of existence and development to nature as we are obtaining the same thing, and thus we will get the situation of win-win.I am very pleased to find that now more and more people, from every corner of the planet, have come to realize that harmony with nature is the only way to universal and continuous progress and prosperity.And I think that is why we come here from all over the country to discuss this topic today.I want to end my speech by quoting from Mr.Nixon.”Our destiny offers, not the cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity.“ The future is not ours to see of course.However, by seizing firmly the opportunities, by knowing clearly about ourselves, we, human beings, can doubtlessly achieve the real harmony with nature!Thank you.译文:我们只是自然大家庭中普通的一员
尊敬的评委,女士们、先生们。今天我们聚在一起讨论一个热门的话题:如何在新时代找到人与自然的和谐?谈到科学技术,我必须承认,我是个门外汉。但是,生活在这个“新时代”,看着自己亲爱的人时刻遭受呼吸疾病的折磨,看着美丽的蓝色和绿色被灰色和苍白所代替,意识到我们的地球母亲正越来越不健康,我忍不住要提出自己的主张,奉献微薄的力量,去寻找这一问题的答案。
古希腊有这样一个神谕:了解自己。我想在回答上述的问题时,这一先决条件是很重要的。我们是谁?这是一个间题,不仅应由专家来回答,而且应该由每一个人来回答。
也许有人会自豪地说:我们是自然的主人。许多年来,“人定胜天”这一观念已在许多人心中根深蒂固,这是事实。长期以来,人类以主人的姿态随心所欲、为所欲为,这也是事实。不过,外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com
这种“主导”的后果是,今天所谓的“主人”面临着自己无法控制的问题。证据是充足的。温室效应使岛屿和沿海城市,比如上海这颗东方明珠等,处于被海水侵吞的灾难危机之中;臭氧层的空洞使得地球不再适宜于居住,对其他动物如此,对人类也一样;厄尔尼诺现象和拉尼那现象使地球早涝成灾;污染所导致的疾病正以惊人的速度传播着……看到这些现象,我们还能无视这自然的反击吗?我们不是自然的主人。面对着自己造成的灾难,我们,整个人类,应该意识到我们只是自然大家族中普通的一员。任何对自然的虐待只能遭到来自自然的报复。
我这样说,并不是指我们应该马上停止发展。因为这会导致对人类社会生存的威胁。我指的是我们应该平等地对待自然,给自然以生存和发展的机会,就像我们自身所寻求的一样。只有这样,我们才会有一个皆大欢喜的境况。
我很高兴地发现来自地球各个地方的越来越多的人,正逐步意识到与自然的和谐是不断繁荣进步的出路。这就是今天我们从全国吝地汇集在此讨论这一话题的原因。
我想引用尼克松先生的话来结束我的发言:“我们的命运给予的不是失望之杯,是机遇之博。”当然,未来不是我们能够预测的。不过,紧紧抓住机遇,清楚地了解自己,我们人类,就一定能达成与自然的和楷,谢谢。
中学生英语演讲稿9: 英语演讲比赛冠军:穿越海洋
Crossing the Sea
By Liang Limin(梁励敏 北京外国语大学)(获得第三届全国英语演讲比赛冠军)
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。外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com
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 this 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 cow horn-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 people remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past? Today's society, of course, is an entirely different picture.Those people who used to eat with gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.Indeed, just take China as example;Our modern life has been influenced by Western style of living in so many ways that it's no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at McDonald's 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 nation's mentality.Just look around.外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com
How many college graduates are ready to compete aggressively for every job opportunity, whereas not long ago they were asked just to sit idle and wait for whatever was to be assigned to them by the government?
How many young people are now eager to seek for an independent life whereas only two decades ago they would rely totally on their parents to arrange for their future? Ask anyone who participates in today's speech contest.Who has not come with a will to fight and who has not come determined to achieve self-fulfillment in winning the game? And I'm quite certain that if Confucius had lived to see today's China, he would have been horrified to see young lovers kissing each other in public places in an unreserved expression of their passion.It is therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient Eastern civilization are already living under strong influence of the Western culture.But it is not only in China that we find the incorporation of the two cultures.Take the United States as an example: During the 1980s, in face of the overwhelming competition from Japan, many American companies such as the Ford began to adopt a teamwork management from their rivals, the essence of which, lay at the very core of Eastern culture.Take the Chinese acupuncture as another example: This traditional treatment of diseases 外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com
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 future, we need to learn to live more harmoniously in a world community which is becoming smaller and smaller.My dear fellow students, our command of the English language render sit possible for us to gain an insight into Western culture while retaining our own cultural identity.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 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: 外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com
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。外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com 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。
不久以前,大学生还只是束手空坐,等待政府给他们分配工作;如今,又有多少大学生正在做充分准备,为争取任 何工作机会而激烈角逐?
20年前年轻人还完全依靠父母为他们安排未来,今天又有多少年轻人在急切地寻求一种独立的生活?试问今天参加
演讲比赛的诸位,谁不是带着志在一搏的心情来到这里?谁不是铁下心来赢得这场比赛以实现自我?如今年轻人毫无顾
忌地宣泄情感当众亲吻,我确信,倘若孔子在世,他必被吓坏。
很明显,我们这些东方古老文明的后裔们早已生活在西方文化的强烈影响之下,然而出现这种异质文化合流的 现象不止是在中国。外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com
以美国为例,20世纪80年代,面对来自日本的强大竞争压力,许多美国公司如福特公司开始采用对手的集体合作
管理方式,而这种方式正是东方文化核心之精华。
再以中华针灸为例,这种传统的医疗方法以及这种疗法的依据——即人体阴阳失调导致疾病最终得到西方社会的
承认,而在过去,西方人还认为这是无稽之谈。
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。
亲爱的同学们,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。

谢谢。

Man’s dearest possession is life.It is given to him but once, and he must live it so as to feel no torturing regrets for wasted years, never know the burning shame of a mean and petty past;so live that, dying, he might say: all my life, all my strength were given to the finest cause in all the world—the fight for the Liberation of Mankind.人生最宝贵的是生命。生命对于人来说只有一次。一个人的生命应该这样度过:当他回首往事时,不因虚度年华而悔恨;也不会因为碌碌无为而羞耻。在临死的时候他能够说:我的整个生命和全部精力都已经献给了世界上最壮丽的事业――为人类的解放事业而斗争!HELP:

Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money, it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative efforts, the joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits.These dark days, my friends, will be worth all they cost us, if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered on to , but to minister to ourselves, to our fellow men.幸福并不在于单纯的占有金钱,幸福还在于取得成功后的喜悦,在于创造努力时的激情。务必不能再忘记劳动带来的喜悦和激励,而去疯狂追逐那转瞬即逝的利润。如果这些黯淡的日子能使我们认识到,我们真正的使命不是要别人侍奉,而是要为自己和同胞们服务的话,那么,我们付出的代价是完全值得的。HELP: stimulation: n.激励,刺激

I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind.We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering.You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word, it is victory.Victory at all costs—victory in spite of all terrors—victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.Let that be realized, no survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that British Empire has stood for , no survival for the urge, the impulse of the ages, that mankind shall more forward toward his goal.I take up my task in buoyancy and hope.I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men.I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, “Come then, let us go forward together with our united strength.” 外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com

六、Let me express my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself-nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror, which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.In every dark hour of our national life, a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves, which is essential to victory and I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days.In such a spirit on my part and on yours, we face our common difficulties.They concern, thank God, only material things.--By Franklin D.Roosevelt

让我来表明我坚定的信念:我们不得不害怕的其实就是害怕本身--一种莫名奇妙的、丧失理智的、毫无根据的恐惧。它把人们转退为进所需要的种种努力化为泡影。但凡在我国生活阴云密布的时刻,坦率而有活力的领导都得到过人民的理解和支持,从而为胜利准备了不可缺少的必要条件。我相信,在目前危机的时刻,大家会再次给与同样的支持。我和你们都要以这种精神来共同面对困难。感谢上帝,这些困难只是物质方面的。

七、In this symposium, better is it to only sit in silence.To express one's feelings as the end draws near is too intimate a task.That I would mention only one thought that comes to me as a listener-in: the riders in a race do not stop short when they reach the goal, there is a little finishing canter before coming to a standstill, there is time to hear the kind voice of friends, and to say to oneself, the work is done.But just as one says that, the answer comes, the race is over, but the work never is done while the power to work remains.The canter that brings you to a standstill need not be only coming to rest;it cannot be while you still live.But to live is to function, that is all there is in living.So I end with a land from a Latin voice: death, death, clutches my ear, and says, live, I am coming.--By Oliver Wendell Holmes

此刻,沉默是金。要在生命即将完结之时表达个人感受并非易事。但我只是想谈谈作为一名倾听者的看法。骑士们并非一到终点就立刻止步。他们继续缓步向前,倾听朋友们的欢呼。他们虽然告诉自己行程已经结束了。正如人们所说结果出来了,比赛结束了。但只要动力仍在,人生之旅就尚未结束。终点之后的慢跑并非停止不前,因为活着便不能如此。活着就要有所作为,这才是生命的真谛。最后谨以一句古拉丁格言与各位共勉:死神不止,奋斗不止。
--[美]奥利佛·文德尔·荷默斯
in this symposium:此刻
At this timegoal: n.目的,目标
standstill: n.停止
八、The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance that no insignificant person was ever born.Americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws.And though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course.Through much of the last century, America's faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea.Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations.Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along.And even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel.--By George W.Bush
译文: 外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com
这些理想中最伟大的是正在慢慢实现的美国的承诺,这就是:每个人都有自身的价值,每个人都有成功的机会,每个人天生都会有所作为的。美国人民肩负着一种使命,那就是要竭力将这个诺言变成生活中和法律上的现实。虽然我们的国家过去在追求实现这个承诺的途中停滞不前甚至倒退,但我们仍将坚定不移地完成这一使命。在上个世纪的大部分时间里,美国自由民主的信念犹如汹涌大海中的岩石。现在它更像风中的种子,把自由带给每个民族。在我们的国家,民主不仅仅是一种信念,而是全人类的希望;民主,我们不会独占,而会竭力让大家分享;民主,我们将铭记于心并且不断传播。225年过去了,我们仍有很长的路要走。

insignificant: adj.无关紧要的、可忽略的
democracy: n.民主政治、民主主义

亲爱的老师,同学们:
我很高兴可以在这个课堂上做一次演讲。这一次,我想谈谈英语。我的话题是我爱英语。
正如每个人所知,英语在今天十分重要。它已经被应用到世界的各个角落。它已经成为商业上最为通用的一门语言并广泛的用于国际贸易。如果我们能说好英语,我们就有更多的机会成功。因为越来越多的人注意到这一点,学英语的人数正在已很高的速度增长。
但是对我而言,我学英语不仅仅因为它的重要性以及它的实用性,更是因为我喜爱英语。当我学英语时,我可以体会到一种不同的思维方式,它可以给我更多接触世界的空间。当我读英语小说时,我能感受到不同于阅读翻译文的快乐。当我说英语时,我可以感到自信。当我写英语时,我能够感到不同于汉语的那种美……
我爱英语,它给了我一个色彩斑斓的梦。我希望有朝一日我可以畅游世界,用我流利的英语,我可以和世界各地的人交友。我能看到许多的名胜。我希望我能够到伦敦去,因为那里是英语的故乡。
我也希望用我流利的英语来将我们的名胜介绍给说英语的朋友,我希望他们可以像我们一样的爱我们的国家。
我知道,罗马不是一天筑成的。(成功需要日积月累。)我相信在持续不断的努力学习下,总有一天我可以拥有一口流利的英语。
如果你想被爱,你就应该学着去爱他人。所以我相信我对英语的爱定将换来它对我的爱。
我相信总有一天我会实现我的梦!
谢谢!
中学生英语演讲稿2: THE DREAM CAME TRUE----The First Day I Work For The 2008 Olympics I woke up and looked at my watch.Oh my god, it’s 7:30 already!I have to get up at once otherwise I’ll be late.Today I’ll take the Australian athletes as a tour guide around Beijing, and I’m going to be the interpreter at the Beijing Olympic Games opening ceremony tomorrow.This has always been a dream of mine since Beijing won the bid of the Olympics, and now the dream has finally come true—I have already become a successful interpreter.And today is another important day of my interpreting career.I’m a little nervous but, of course, very excited.Here goes my plan for today: Well, our first destination is, surely, the landmark of Beijing, the symbol of the 5000 years’ civilization—the Forbidden City—where the emperors and empresses of the Ming and Qing Dynasties lived, and it’s really grand.It was renovated recently because of the coming Olympics.The second place we are going to is the Great Wall.This is the only building, I hear, that can been seen from the moon, and it represents the diligence and the wisdom of whole Chinese nation.Now, it’s time for lunch.We plan to have… What? You say ”Beijing Duck”? Yeah, right you are!We’ll come back to the center of Beijing, and we’ll have dinner at “Quanjude” restaurant.You can enjoy the most delicious Chinese food—Beijing Duck, and you must be very pleased to hear this!Then I’ll show you around the Summer Palace.It’s the royal garden for the emperors and empresses of the Qing Dynasty to pass the hot summers.After visiting those historical places, you’ll surely be impressed by the long-lasting history of our great country.At the same time, during the journey of moving from one place of interest to another, we won’t miss having a glance of Beijing’s modern civilization.The skyscrapers, beautiful avenues and advanced facilities must also catch your eyes.And we’ll also have a chance to experience Beijing’s fast development in person.We’ll do some shopping at the shopping center near the Olympics Village.You can buy everything there of course except guns and drugs which are seriously forbidden in China.To see is to believe.What you see and experience will be strong prove of your choice to Beijing, China!That’s all about my plan for the day.What do you think of it, my friends? Today, I’m very proud to be here to give a speech about a dream, a dream for which we worked together for nine years or even more.As Beijing becomes the host city of the 29th Olympic Games, every Beijinger cares for the environment and good manners and behaviors much more than before.Now Beijing has already made herselves ’ dream come true.So I must work harder to catch up with her steps.Knowing the hardness of making a dream into reality, I need to do my best at every side of my work, so then I believe my little dream—to be an interpreter—will definitely be realized someday in the future!
THANK YOU 梦想成真
现在是2008年,我已经成为一名成功的翻译。今天我要带领来自澳大利亚的Olympics运动员们游览北京。明天我将在2008年北京奥运会开幕式上担任同声翻译,这曾是我多年的梦想,现在它终于实现了。面对今天和明天的工作,我当然有些紧张,但也很兴奋,以下是我今天的计划。

Good evening, everybody.I am ***.Now, I am making a speech about how to improve our English for you.TThere are altogether 10 points.
1、What is language for?
Some people seem to think it’s for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words——the longer the words are, the better.That’s wrong.Language is for the exchange of ideas, for communication.
2、The way to learn a language is to practice speaking it as often as possible.
3、A great man once said it is necessary to drill as much as possible, and the more you apply it in real situations, the more natural it will become.
4、Learning any language takes a lot of effort.but don't give up.
5、Relax!Be patient and enjoy yourself.Learning foreign languages should be fun.
6、Rome wasn’t built in a day.Work harder and practice more.Your hard work will be rewarded by God one day.God is equal to everyone!
7、Use a dictionary and grammar guide constantly.Keep a small English dictionary with you all the time.When you see a new word, look it up.Think about the word——use it, in your mind, in a sentence.
8、Try to think in English whenever possible.When you see something, think of the English word of it;then think about the word in a sentence.
9、Practice tenses as much as possible.When you learn a new verb, learn its various forms.
10、I would also like to learn more about the culture behind the language.When you understand the cultural background, you can use the language better.Finally, I wanna give you a sentence that is one of my favorite proverbs.We must accept finite disappointment but we must never lose infinite hope.Ok, that's the speech.Thanks.中学生英语演讲稿4: To me March 28th was a lucky day.It was on that particular evening that I found myself at central stage, in the spotlight.Winning the “21st Century·Ericsson Cup” Seventh National English Speaking Competition is a memory that I shall treasure and one that will surely stay.More important than winning the Cup is the friendship that has been established and developed among the contestants, and the chance to communicate offstage in addition to competing onstage.Also the competition helps boost public speaking in China, a skill hitherto undervalued.For me, though, the competition is a more personal experience.Habitually shy, I had been reluctant to take part in any such activities.Encouraged by my friends, however, I made a last-minute decision to give it a try.In the course of preparation I somehow rediscovered myself, a truer me.I found that, after all, I like communicating with other people;that exchanging views can be so much fun—and so much rewarding, both emotionally and intellectually;that public speaking is most effective when you are least guarded;and that it is essential to success in every walk of life.At a more practical level, I realized knowing what you are going to say and how you are going to say it are equally important.To take the original ideas out of your head and transplant them, so to speak, to that of others, you need to have an organized mind.This ability improves with training.Yet there should not be any loss or addition or distortion in the process.Those ideas that finally find their waysintosanother head need to be recognizably yours.Language is a means to transmit information, not a means to obstruct communication.It should be lucid to be penetrating.In China, certain public speaking skills have been unduly emphasized.Will it really help, we are compelled to ask, to bang at the podium or yell at the top of your lungs, if you have come with a poorly organized speech, a muddled mind, and unwillingness to truly share your views?
Above all, the single most important thing I learnt was that as a public speaker, you need to pay attention, first and foremost, to the content of your speech.And second, the structure of your speech: how one idea relates and progresses to another.Only after these come delivery and non-verbal communication: speed control, platform manner, and so on.Pronunciation is important, yet of greater importance is this: Is your language competent enough to express your ideas exactly the way you intend them to be understood?
I was informed afterwards that I was chosen to be the winner for my “appropriately worded speech, excellent presence and quick-witted response”.In so remarking, the judges clearly showed their preference: they come to listen for meaningful ideas, not for loose judgments, nor easy laughters.Some contestants failed to address their questions head on.Some were able to, but did not knows wheresto stop—the dragging on betrayed their lack of confidence.The root cause was that they did not listen attentively to the questions.Or they were thinking of what they had prepared.As I said in my speech, “It is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking...to take them [issues like globalization] on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way”.We need to respond honestly.A competition like this draws talented students from all over the country.And of course, I learnt more things than just about public speaking.Since in the final analysis, public speaking is all about effective communication.And this goes true for all communications, whatever their setting.中学生英语演讲稿5: 如何才能受人欢迎
Most people would like to be popular with others, but not everyone can achieve this goal.What is the secret to popularity? In fact, it is very simple.The first step is to improve our appearance.We should always make sure that we stay in good shape and dress well.When we are healthy and well-groomed, we will not only look better but also feel better.In addition, we should smile and appear friendly.After all, our facial expression is an important part of our appearance.If we can do this, people will be attracted to our good looks and impressed by our confidence.Another important step is developing more consideration for others.We should always put others first and place their interests before our own.It's also important to be good listeners;in this way people will feel comfortable enough to confide in us.However, no matter what we do, we must not gossip.Above all, we must remember to be ourselves, not phonies.Only by being sincere and respectful of others can we earn their respect.If we can do all of the above, I am sure popularity will come our way.如何才能受人欢迎
大部分的人都想受人欢迎,但是并非每个人都能达到目标。受欢迎的秘诀何在?事实上是很简单的。步骤一,先改善我们的外表。我们得确保自己很健康,并且穿着体面。当我们既健康又穿戴整齐时,不仅看起来更有精神,自己也会觉得好多了。此外,我们要保持微笑并表现得很友善。毕竟,脸部表情是外观很重要的一环。如果我们能做到这一点,别人会被我们的美好外表所吸引,并对我们的自信印象深刻。
另一个重要步骤,就是培养对别人的体贴。永远以他人为重,并把别人的利益放在自己的利益之前。当个好听众也是很重要的;如此一来,别人才能很自在地对我们吐露心事。然而,不管我们做什么事,绝对不要说闲言闲语。最重要的是,要做自己,不要当虚伪的人。只有对人真诚又尊重时,才能赢得他人的尊敬。如果我们能做到以上几点,我相信受人欢迎是指日可待的事。www.xiexiebang.com
中学生英语演讲稿6: 关爱自然
Mother Nature is an exquisite and complex life-system.It's charm appears in the trees, stream, soil, insects, moss and fungus, all the things on the earth in different shapes, which are interdependent.When you get close to nature, please remember, each tree, stone and species of animals here has lived harmoniously for hundreds, thousands or even millions of years.When we pass away, they will continue to live.They are the real masters, while we are just the passer-by.However, the conduct we unconsciously do, such as picking, lumbering, tramping and abusing can probably destroy the balance of their life.Therefore, we must reduce our bad influence as much as possible.While you are enjoying the nature, do not forget please, the beauty of the lives also needs to be concerned with and to be protected.Each life on the earth has a long and touching evolutionary story.From the origin, the lives of the human being are equal to those of others;they both are the composing parts of Mother Nature.Nevertheless, for some inexplicable reasons, the human becomes the spirits of all creatures.Of course, it is the result of the evolution, but still we should be grateful to all our companions in nature for the opportunity they offer.In spite of this, humans cannot live without earth.They live on the earth, drink the sweet water, and enjoy the sunshine, the air, the sky, the fruit;the grains utilize the energy and so on.In a word, the human being cannot live without nature, and Mother Nature makes us grow stronger.I do not like the word “Pet”, but preferring the word “Animal” instead.I have been loving animal since I was just a little boy.When thinking of the “Pet Fashion”, I always feel much annoyed.For the animals will be given a shackle and lose their liberty if they become someone's pets.Their natural attribution can be deprived, too.Up to now, relying on their scientific power, the human have opened up too much and over developed nature, in order to fill up their growing appetites of wealth.They destroy the balance of nature, however, they don't realize, their own development and existence will be threatened.Therefore, our sights should be focused on nature and we should try to develop the concept of “keeping human and nature in unity”.We should lay emphasis on our education with consider cultural and natural emotion.To use the vivid example to wake up the conscience in people's hearts.To love nature is to love our mankind.As the new generation who enter the new century, we should make efforts to love and respect nature, to treat it well and protect it.At last, we have the night to enjoy it.中学生英语演讲稿7: 享受生活、牢记使命
Enjoy Yourself While Fulfilling Responsibility
By Wang Yu王羽四川师范大学)
(2001年11月8日,在西安举行的第七届 “21世纪·爱立信杯”英语演讲比赛西北地区比赛中获得第一名)专家点评:本文主题突出,以小见大,寓意深刻,语言朴实自然,表达的情感强烈,是一篇演讲佳作。
In my 18 years of life, there have been many things.University days are the best part of them.I can never forget the days when I stepped into my university.I was impressed by its garden-like campus, its enthusiastic students and especially its learning atmosphere.I at once fell in love with it.After the arduous military training, I get absolutely absorbed in my studies.The classes given by the teachers are excellent.They provide us with information not only from our textbooks but from many other sources as well.They easily arouse my insatiable desire to take in as much as I can.Frankly speaking, at first I had some difficulty following the teachers.However, through my own efforts and thanks to my teachers' guidance, I made remarkable progress.Now I've benefited a lot from lectures and many other academic reports.Learning is a long process;I'll keep exploring in the treasure house of knowledge to enrich myself.This summer I got out of the ivory tower and entered the real world.A publishing house offered me a part-time job in compilation and revision.At the beginning I was belittled by my colleagues.But they were really surprised when I translated seven English articles over 5,000 words on only one day.Gradually, they began to look at me with respectful eyes.In their opinion I turned out to be a useful and trustworthy colleague.I also realize that only those who bring happiness for others can be truly happy.So I often take part in activities concerning public welfare.I once went to a barren mountain village with my classmates.We taught the kids there who could not afford school.While showing them how broad and how civilized the outer world is, I was deeply touched by their eagerness to learn, their honesty and their purity.I couldn't control my tears on the day when we left.The precious experience with the poor kids made me aware of the responsibility on the shoulders of us, future teachers.Besides study and social practice, there are entertainments as well.I do body building every day, hoping to keep healthy and energetic.We also write a play and put it on in our spare time.Campus life is the most splendid time.But different people have different choices.The majority of students cherish their beautiful season and cherish the hope that one day they'll become outstanding.But there are indeed some students still under ignorance.They gather together for eating, drinking or playing cards.They're busy in searching for a girlfriend or a boyfriend.They forget completely about their mission as college students and the hope of their motherland.Finally, I do hope everybody can try their best to become a worthy citizen of the country.I do hope everybody can become the backbone of our nation and make great contributions to society!
译文:享受生活、牢记使命
在我这18年的生命中,有着许多美好的经历,而大学生活则是其中最难忘的一段。我永远不会忘记刚刚跨进大学校园的那几天:花园一样的校园,热情活跃的学生,特别是那里的学习气氛,给我留下了深刻的印象。
经过了一段艰辛的军事训练后,我完全融入到了学习中。老师的讲课真是棒极了。他们传授给我们的不仅是课本上的知识,还包括其他各种各样的信息。我渴望获得尽可能多的知识,是老师激发起了我这个不能满足的欲望。
坦率地说,一开始我还不能跟上老师的讲课。但是,通过我自己的努力以及老师的指导,我取得了巨大的进步。我从老师的授课和其他许多学术报告中获益匪浅。学习是个循序渐进、长期的过程,我会在知识的宝库中不断探索,丰富自我。今年暑假,我跨出象牙塔,进入并接触到了真正的社会。一个出版社给了我编辑和校对的兼职工作。工作初期,同事们都礁不起我。但是,当我在一天之内翻译完7篇(总字数超过5000字)的英语文章后,他们真的是
大吃一惊。渐渐地,他们开始用尊敬的眼光看待我。他们认为,我变成了一个有用并值得信赖的好同事。
我也同样意识到,只有那些为别人带来幸福的人才能真正的幸福。因而,我经常参加有关公众福利享业的活动。有一次,我和同学去了一个贫痔的山区村庄。在那里,我们教那些没钱上学的孩子。我向他们展示了一幅宽广、文明的外部世界的画面,但同时我也被那些孩子学习的渴望、他们的真诚和纯洁深深打动了。在我们离开的那一天,我那不争气的眼泪禁不住流了下来。这次珍贵的经历让我们这些未来的教师意识到了自己肩上的责任重大。除了学习和社会实践,我还经常参加娱乐活动。我每天都锻炼身体,希望保持健康和充满活力。我们还在业余时间写剧本并排练演出。
园生活是最丰富多彩的。但是,不同的人有着不同的选择。大多数的学生珍惜他们的美好时光,并殷切希望将来能出类拔萃。可是,的确有学生无动于衷。他们聚在一起吃喝玩乐;他们忙于追求异性朋友;他们完全忘记了自己作为大学生的使命和祖国对他们的厚望。最后,我希望每个人都能尽最大努力成为国家的有用人才。我也希望每个人都能成为我们民族的脊梁,为社会做出巨大的贡献!中学生英语演讲稿8: 环保演讲稿:我们只是自然大家庭中普通的一员
We Are a Normal Member of the Big Family of Nature By Wang Yonghui(主永晖 北京对外经济贸易大学)
专家点评:演讲者围绕环境污染的严重性作了一次次的说明。文章的结构严谨,也很有层次感。
Honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen.Today,we are gathering here to discuss a very hot issue.how to find harmony in a new age between man and nature? Where modern science and technology are concerned I am only a layman I have to say.However, living in this ”new age“ , seeing my dear ones suffering from respiratory diseases from time to time, finding the beautiful colors of green and blue are being replaced by that of gray and pale, and realizing that our mother planet is getting more and more unhealthy;I can't help trying to offer my idea and my trivial efforts to look for the answer of the question.As the ancient Greek oracle goes: know thyself.I think in answering this above-mentioned question, this precondition is also very important.Who are we? This is a question, which should be answered not only by those specialists, but also by every one of human beings.Some people may proudly say: we are the masters of nature.It is true that the idea of ”man can conquer nature“ has dominated people's mind for years, and it is true, man has kept acting like a master and doing whatever things he wants for thousands of years.However, as the consequence of this kind of ”leadership“ , now the ”master“ seems to be confronted with problems that are far beyond his control.Facts are really very ample.The green house effect leaves islands and cities along the coast, such as this oriental pearl-Shanghai, in danger of the disaster of being drowned;the holes of the ozone layer make the earth less suitable to live for some creatures including human beings;the phenomena of EL Nino and La Nina leave the land with serious flood and drought, and the diseases, caused by pollution, are increasing at an incredible speed...Seeing all these facts, can we still ignore the counterattack of nature? We are not the masters of nature.Facing all the disasters made by ourselves, we, mankind as a whole should realize that we are just a normal member of the big family of nature.Any mistreatment towards nature will meet only with the revenge from her.By saying so, I do not mean we should give a sudden stop to any development.Because that will result in a threat to the existence of human society.I mean we should treat nature equally, leaving the chance of existence and development to nature as we are obtaining the same thing, and thus we will get the situation of win-win.I am very pleased to find that now more and more people, from every corner of the planet, have come to realize that harmony with nature is the only way to universal and continuous progress and prosperity.And I think that is why we come here from all over the country to discuss this topic today.I want to end my speech by quoting from Mr.Nixon.”Our destiny offers, not the cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity.“ The future is not ours to see of course.However, by seizing firmly the opportunities, by knowing clearly about ourselves, we, human beings, can doubtlessly achieve the real harmony with nature!Thank you.译文:我们只是自然大家庭中普通的一员
尊敬的评委,女士们、先生们。今天我们聚在一起讨论一个热门的话题:如何在新时代找到人与自然的和谐?谈到科学技术,我必须承认,我是个门外汉。但是,生活在这个“新时代”,看着自己亲爱的人时刻遭受呼吸疾病的折磨,看着美丽的蓝色和绿色被灰色和苍白所代替,意识到我们的地球母亲正越来越不健康,我忍不住要提出自己的主张,奉献微薄的力量,去寻找这一问题的答案。
古希腊有这样一个神谕:了解自己。我想在回答上述的问题时,这一先决条件是很重要的。我们是谁?这是一个间题,不仅应由专家来回答,而且应该由每一个人来回答。也许有人会自豪地说:我们是自然的主人。许多年来,“人定胜天”这一观念已在许多人心中根深蒂固,这是事实。长期以来,人类以主人的姿态随心所欲、为所欲为,这也是事实。不过,这种“主导”的后果是,今天所谓的“主人”面临着自己无法控制的问题。证据是充足的。温室效应使岛屿和沿海城市,比如上海这颗东方明珠等,处于被海水侵吞的灾难危机之中;臭氧层的空洞使得地球不再适宜于居住,对其他动物如此,对人类也一样;厄尔尼诺现象和拉尼那现象使地球早涝成灾;污染所导致的疾病正以惊人的速度传播着……看到这些现象,我们还能无视这自然的反击吗?我们不是自然的主人。面对着自己造成的灾难,我们,整个人类,应该意识到我们只是自然大家族中普通的一员。任何对自然的虐待只能遭到来自自然的报复。
我这样说,并不是指我们应该马上停止发展。因为这会导致对人类社会生存的威胁。我指的是我们应该平等地对待自然,给自然以生存和发展的机会,就像我们自身所寻求的一样。只有这样,我们才会有一个皆大欢喜的境况。
我很高兴地发现来自地球各个地方的越来越多的人,正逐步意识到与自然的和谐是不断繁荣进步的出路。这就是今天我们从全国吝地汇集在此讨论这一话题的原因。
我想引用尼克松先生的话来结束我的发言:“我们的命运给予的不是失望之杯,是机遇之博。”当然,未来不是我们能够预测的。不过,紧紧抓住机遇,清楚地了解自己,我们人类,就一定能达成与自然的和楷,谢谢。
中学生英语演讲稿9: 英语演讲比赛冠军:穿越海洋
Crossing the Sea
By Liang Limin(梁励敏 北京外国语大学)(获得第三届全国英语演讲比赛冠军)
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。
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 this 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 cow horn-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 people remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past? Today's society, of course, is an entirely different picture.Those people who used to eat with gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.Indeed, just take China as example;Our modern life has been influenced by Western style of living in so many ways that it's no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at McDonald's 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 nation's mentality.Just look around.How many college graduates are ready to compete aggressively for every job opportunity, whereas not long ago they were asked just to sit idle and wait for whatever was to be assigned to them by the government?
How many young people are now eager to seek for an independent life whereas only two decades ago they would rely totally on their parents to arrange for their future? Ask anyone who participates in today's speech contest.Who has not come with a will to fight and who has not come determined to achieve self-fulfillment in winning the game? And I'm quite certain that if Confucius had lived to see today's China, he would have been horrified to see young lovers kissing each other in public places in an unreserved expression of their passion.It is therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient Eastern civilization are already living under strong influence of the Western culture.But it is not only in China that we find the incorporation of the two cultures.Take the United States as an example: During the 1980s, in face of the overwhelming competition from Japan, many American companies such as the Ford began to adopt a teamwork management from their rivals, the essence of which, lay at the very core of Eastern culture.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 future, we need to learn to live more harmoniously in a world community which is becoming smaller and smaller.My dear fellow students, our command of the English language render sit possible for us to gain an insight into Western culture while retaining our own cultural identity.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 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。
不久以前,大学生还只是束手空坐,等待政府给他们分配工作;如今,又有多少大学生正在做充分准备,为争取任 何工作机会而激烈角逐?
20年前年轻人还完全依靠父母为他们安排未来,今天又有多少年轻人在急切地寻求一种独立的生活?试问今天参加
演讲比赛的诸位,谁不是带着志在一搏的心情来到这里?谁不是铁下心来赢得这场比赛以实现自我?如今年轻人毫无顾
忌地宣泄情感当众亲吻,我确信,倘若孔子在世,他必被吓坏。
很明显,我们这些东方古老文明的后裔们早已生活在西方文化的强烈影响之下,然而出现这种异质文化合流的 现象不止是在中国。
以美国为例,20世纪80年代,面对来自日本的强大竞争压力,许多美国公司如福特公司开始采用对手的集体合作
管理方式,而这种方式正是东方文化核心之精华。
再以中华针灸为例,这种传统的医疗方法以及这种疗法的依据——即人体阴阳失调导致疾病最终得到西方社会的
承认,而在过去,西方人还认为这是无稽之谈。
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。
亲爱的同学们,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。
我有一个美好的梦想,我梦想中国的年轻一代不仅仅在喝可口可乐、看好莱坞影片中成长,而且还受益于我们的
父辈所从未梦想过的多元文化所带来的深远影响。
最后,再次以罗得雅德·吉卜林的诗作为我此次演讲的结尾:
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。
谢谢。
中学生英语演讲稿10: 八段经典演讲 一.
Man’s dearest possession is life.It is given to him but once, and he must live it so as to feel no torturing regrets for wasted years, never know the burning shame of a mean and petty past;so live that, dying, he might say: all my life, all my strength were given to the finest cause in all the world—the fight for the Liberation of Mankind.人生最宝贵的是生命。生命对于人来说只有一次。一个人的生命应该这样度过:当他回首往事时,不因虚度年华而悔恨;也不会因为碌碌无为而羞耻。在临死的时候他能够说:我的整个生命和全部精力都已经献给了世界上最壮丽的事业――为人类的解放事业而斗争!HELP:
possession: n.财产
torturing : adj.使痛苦的
二.
Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money, it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative efforts, the joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits.These dark days, my friends, will be worth all they cost us, if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered on to , but to minister to ourselves, to our fellow men.幸福并不在于单纯的占有金钱,幸福还在于取得成功后的喜悦,在于创造努力时的激情。务必不能再忘记劳动带来的喜悦和激励,而去疯狂追逐那转瞬即逝的利润。如果这些黯淡的日子能使我们认识到,我们真正的使命不是要别人侍奉,而是要为自己和同胞们服务的话,那么,我们付出的代价是完全值得的。HELP: stimulation: n.激励,刺激
evanescent: adj.渐渐消失的,易消散的 profit: vi.得益,利用
三.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed-we hold theses truths to be self-Oevident, that all men are created equal.I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood.I have a dream my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.i have a dream today!When we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and hamlet, from every state and city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children-black men and white men , jews and Gentiles, Catholics and Protestants-will be able to join hands and to sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, “free at least ,free at last.Thank God Almighty, we are free at last.”
我有一个梦:有一天,这个国家将站起来,并实现他的信条的真正含义:我们将捍卫这些不言而喻的真理,即所有人生来平等。我有一个梦:有一天在乔治亚洲红色的山丘上,从前的奴隶的子孙们能和奴隶主的子孙们像兄弟一样坐在同一张桌旁;我有一个梦我的四个孩子有一天将生活在这样一个国度,在那里,人们不以肤色,而是以品格来评价他们。当自由的钟声响起的时候,当我们让它从每一个村庄,每一个州,每一个城市响起的时候,我们将能够加速这一天的到来。那是,上帝所有的孩子,无论黑人白人还是犹太人,异教徒。天主教徒,还是新教徒,他们都能够手挽手歌唱那古老的黑人圣歌:“终于自由了,终于自由了,感谢上帝,我们终于自由了!” HELP: Creed: n.信条
Brotherhood : n.手足情意,兄弟关系
四.
I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind.We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering.You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word, it is victory.Victory at all costs—victory in spite of all terrors—victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.Let that be realized, no survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that British Empire has stood for , no survival for the urge, the impulse of the ages, that mankind shall more forward toward his goal.I take up my task in buoyancy and hope.I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men.I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, “Come then, let us go forward together with our united strength.”
我能奉献的唯有热血、辛劳、泪水和汗水。我们所面临的将是一场极为残酷的考验,我们面临的将是旷日持久的斗争和苦难。你若问我们的目标是什么?我可以用一个词来概括,那就是胜利。不惜一切代价去夺取胜利,不畏惧一切恐怖去夺取胜利,不论前路再长再苦也要多去胜利,因为没有胜利纠无法生存!我们必须意识到,没有胜利就没有大英帝国,没有胜利就没有大英帝国所象征的一切,没有胜利就没有多少世纪以来强烈的要求和冲动:人类应当向自己的目标迈进。此刻,我的精神振奋,满怀信心地承当起自己的人物。我确信,只要我们大家联合,我们的事业就不会挫败。此时此刻千钧一发之际,我觉得我有权要求各方面的支持。我要呼吁:“来吧,让我们群策努力,并肩迈进!” HELP:
Grievous: adj.令人忧伤的 Buoyancy: n.浮性 浮力 轻快
Entitled: adj.有资格的
五.My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of men.Finally whether you are citizens of America, or citizens of the world, ask of us here, the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you.With a good conscience of our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth, God's work must truly be our own.--By John F.Kennedy
译文:
美国同胞们,不要问美国能为你们做些什么,应该问你们能为美国贡献些什么。全世界的同胞们,不要问美国将为你做些什么,应该问我们一同能为人类的自由做些什么。最后,无论你是美国公民还是其他国家的同胞,你们应该要求我们献出我们同样要求于你们的高度的力量和牺牲。无愧于心是我们惟一可靠的奖赏,历史是我们行动最终的裁判。这一切让我们大步向前,去引领我们所热爱的这片土地。我们祈求上帝的保佑和帮助,但我们很清楚,上帝在尘世的工作必定是我们自己的工作。
--[美]约翰·肯尼迪
citizen: n.市民,公民
sacrifice: n./ v.牺牲,献身
conscience: n.良心,道德心
六、Let me express my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself-nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror, which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.In every dark hour of our national life, a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves, which is essential to victory and I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days.In such a spirit on my part and on yours, we face our common difficulties.They concern, thank God, only material things.--By Franklin D.Roosevelt
译文:
让我来表明我坚定的信念:我们不得不害怕的其实就是害怕本身--一种莫名奇妙的、丧失理智的、毫无根据的恐惧。它把人们转退为进所需要的种种努力化为泡影。但凡在我国生活阴云密布的时刻,坦率而有活力的领导都得到过人民的理解和支持,从而为胜利准备了不可缺少的必要条件。我相信,在目前危机的时刻,大家会再次给与同样的支持。我和你们都要以这种精神来共同面对困难。感谢上帝,这些困难只是物质方面的。
--[美]弗兰克林·罗斯福
unreasoning: adj.丧失理智的
unjustified: adj.毫无根据的
frankness: n.率直,坦白
七、In this symposium, better is it to only sit in silence.To express one's feelings as the end draws near is too intimate a task.That I would mention only one thought that comes to me as a listener-in: the riders in a race do not stop short when they reach the goal, there is a little finishing canter before coming to a standstill, there is time to hear the kind voice of friends, and to say to oneself, the work is done.But just as one says that, the answer comes, the race is over, but the work never is done while the power to work remains.The canter that brings you to a standstill need not be only coming to rest;it cannot be while you still live.But to live is to function, that is all there is in living.So I end with a land from a Latin voice: death, death, clutches my ear, and says, live, I am coming.--By Oliver Wendell Holmes
译文:
此刻,沉默是金。要在生命即将完结之时表达个人感受并非易事。但我只是想谈谈作为一名倾听者的看法。骑士们并非一到终点就立刻止步。他们继续缓步向前,倾听朋友们的欢呼。他们虽然告诉自己行程已经结束了。正如人们所说结果出来了,比赛结束了。但只要动力仍在,人生之旅就尚未结束。终点之后的慢跑并非停止不前,因为活着便不能如此。活着就要有所作为,这才是生命的真谛。最后谨以一句古拉丁格言与各位共勉:死神不止,奋斗不止。
--[美]奥利佛·文德尔·荷默斯
in this symposium:此刻
At this timegoal: n.目的,目标
standstill: n.停止
八、The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance that no insignificant person was ever born.Americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws.And though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course.Through much of the last century, America's faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea.Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations.Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along.And even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel.--By George W.Bush
译文:
这些理想中最伟大的是正在慢慢实现的美国的承诺,这就是:每个人都有自身的价值,每个人都有成功的机会,每个人天生都会有所作为的。美国人民肩负着一种使命,那就是要竭力将这个诺言变成生活中和法律上的现实。虽然我们的国家过去在追求实现这个承诺的途中停滞不前甚至倒退,但我们仍将坚定不移地完成这一使命。在上个世纪的大部分时间里,美国自由民主的信念犹如汹涌大海中的岩石。现在它更像风中的种子,把自由带给每个民族。在我们的国家,民主不仅仅是一种信念,而是全人类的希望;民主,我们不会独占,而会竭力让大家分享;民主,我们将铭记于心并且不断传播。225年过去了,我们仍有很长的路要走。
--[美]乔治·布什
insignificant: adj.无关紧要的、可忽略的
democracy: n.民主政治、民主主义

中学生英语演讲稿1
大家好!今天我演讲的题目是:如何提高我们的英文。说真的,我非常高兴在这里说一说关于学英语的事情,尽管我只是英语的初学者。
大家都知道,英语是一门国际性的语言,尤其是中国已加入了wto,学英语对我们来说是格外必要的。但是你可能会问:“如何才能提高我们的英语呢?”那好,接下来我便给大家说一说提高英语的捷径。
首先,你应确信你已在发音技巧和语音方面下了很多功夫。否则,你将会闹出很多笑话。例如“我可以借一下你的自行车吗?”而你说成“我可以借一下你的后背吗?”“请递给我那个箱子”而由于你的错误发音,竟说成“请给我一个吻吧。”很显然,在这两个句子中你读错了“自行车”和“盒子”这两个词,而对方也就自然误解了你的意思。另外,语调的不同也可表达着不同的`感情,举个例子:伦敦桥塌了!伦敦桥塌了!我的夫人!(声音高昂,表示高兴)伦敦桥塌了!伦敦桥塌了!我的夫人!(声音低沉,表示悲伤)
原文来源: 英语演讲稿范文:初中学生英语演讲稿
其次,大家都知道:熟能生巧。当你在说英语时不要怕犯错误。一方面,没有人会不犯错误的。另一方面你可以从错误中总结教训,所以千万不要害羞,脸皮厚一点地大声说出来!
最后,为了能够达到成功的顶峰,我们必须要有耐心。无论怎么说,学英语总是要花费时间的,所以你必须要有足够的勇气和一颗“永不言败”的心。要牢牢地记住这句名言“罗马不是一天造成的!”
小知识提示:英语演讲稿的结构分开头、主体、结尾三个部分,其结构原则与一般文章的结构原则大致一样。
中学生英语演讲稿2
Dear teacher and classmates:
I am very glad to make a speech here in this class again! This time, I'd like to talk something about English.
I love English. English language is now used everywhere in the world. It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade. Learning English makes me confident and brings me great pleasure.
When I was seven, my mother sent me to an English school. At there, I played games and sang English songs with other children . Then I discovered the beauty of the language, and began my colorful dream in the English world.
Everyday, I read English following the tapes. Sometimes, I watch English cartoons.
On the weekend, I often go to the English corner. By talking with different people there, I have made more and more friends as well as improved my oral English.
I hope I can travel around the world someday. I want to go to America to visit Washington Monument, because the president Washington is my idol. Of course, I want to go to London too, because England is where English language developed. If I can ride my bike in Cambridge university, I will be very happy.
I hope I can speak English with everyone in the world. I/'ll introduce China to them, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and Anshan.
I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well.
If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So I believe as I love English everyday , it will love me too.
第四篇:中学生英语演讲稿
演讲的总体措词是严肃一些还是活泼一些,是有较明显的说教口气还是用平等的口吻,等等,都要根据听众对象而定。如果场下听众是同龄的学生,那么演讲的内容只要风趣一些往往就能引起共鸣。但另一方面,如果听众大多是上了年纪的教师,太多的笑料反而会被认为“不严肃”,“不尊重”,而引起反感。
用英语演讲,不要用太多 I feel, I think,老是用I,显得十分主观,狭隘。如果通篇全是 I feel, I think 的内容,会给人觉得缺乏说服力。另外,perhaps, maybe 这样的词语,虽然有“客气,谦虚”的成分,但太多会让人觉得你演讲的内容有不可靠之处。
还有,在演讲中,要少用you,多用we。用you等于把自己与听众对立起来,而用we则拉近了与听众的距离。比如:You should not smoke.听上去像教训人,而 Lets not smoke听起来是一个不错的建议。
2.演讲要越短越好
英语演讲应该简洁扼要,直截了当。除非特别需要,一般不要采用中文中的那种迂回曲折的表达形式。据有关专家统计,一般人的注意力一次只能集中约13分钟。所以,演讲长度以10~15分钟为宜。下面是美国总统林肯所作的著名的盖茨堡演说,虽然全文只有短短200多个词,却带有振奋人心、扭转乾坤般的力量。其中 of the people, by the people, for the people(民有,民治,民享)已成为不朽佳句。对于中学生来说,这篇演讲现在读起来一定会觉得很难,但要写好英语演讲,这确实是值得认真研读的经典之作。
Gettysburg Address
Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.We are met on a great battlefield of that war.We have come to dedicate a portion of the field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live.It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground.The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract.The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us,----that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion,----that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain,----that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom,----and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.其实,我们中学生练习写演讲稿,可以短些,从4~5分钟,500~600个词,围绕一个主题开始练习。
3.英语演讲稿的基本组成部分
从大的方面看,英语演讲词实际上是属于一种特殊的说明文或议论文,其基本组成部分是:
1)开始时对听众的称呼语
最常用的是 Ladies and gentlemen,也可根据不同情况,选用 Fellow students, Distinguished guests, Mr Chairman, Honorable Judges(评委)等等。
2)提出论题
由于演讲的时间限制,必须开门见山,提出论题。提出论题的方法有各种各样,但最生动,最能引起注意的是用举例法。比如:你要呼吁大家关心贫穷地区的孩子,你可以用亲眼看到的或者收集到的那些贫穷孩子多么需要帮助的实例开始。另外,用具体的统计数据也是一个有效的引出论题的方法,比如:你要谈遵守交通规则的话题,你可以从举一系列有关车辆、车祸等的数据开始。
3)论证
对提出的论题,不可主观地妄下结论,而要进行客观的论证。这是演讲中最需要下功夫的部分。关键是要把道理讲清楚。常见的论证方法有举例法、因果法、对比法等等,可参见英语议论文的有关章节。
4)结论
结论要简明扼要,以给听众留下深刻印象。
5)结尾
结尾要简洁,不要拉拉扯扯,说个没完。特别是不要受汉语影响,说些类似“准备不足,请谅解”,“请批评指正”这样的废话。最普通的结尾就是:Thank you very much for your attention。
4.英语演讲稿的语言特征
1)多用实词,多用短句,少用结构复杂的长句
