演讲稿:
Hello, ladies and gentlemen.Today my topic is The Road Not Taken in Life.“Why are you doing this? Don’t you know it’s a total waste of time?” That’s what my mom yelled at the ten-year-old me, when she found out that I had signed up for an English story-telling competition.I bowed my head;yes, she was right.By then I was entering Grade Six, faced with the biggest challenge yet to come—the examination to enter my dream junior high school.For that, I had given up my beloved piano lesson, my favorite cartoon program and even the playful weekend family reunion with my cousins.I wouldn’t be surprised at all if my very-strict-university-teacher mother got furious at me when I chose to do anything besides study at that crucial moment.But that’s not all to it.Now please take a good look at the
twenty-year-old me, and imagine what I was like when I was ten.Here are the key words: nervous, timid, shy, tongue-tied when facing strangers, and essentially a bookworm.These signs looked fatal to my mother, and possibly to you, too;she thought that I could be anything but a good public speaker.Well, I myself actually said no to my English teacher at first, because I had never done anything like that before and I was afraid.But he told me since I liked reading so much, why not try to tell a story I love to everyone? He also promised me that the judges were not frightening at all;just think of them as carrots and cabbages in a vegetable patch.The ten-year-old me was persuaded by my teacher’s words.The feeling
of telling my beloved stories to someone else ignited a spark of
anticipation in my little chest.So I chose to endure my mother’s ranting for an entire hour, then raised my head bravely and pleaded: “Mom, please.I just want to try.”
My mother looked as if she was on the verge of another outburst—but she only sighed.I took that as her permission, and started working with my teacher day and night to find a story, to illustrate the details, and to practice my facial expressions and gestures in front of the mirror.On the day of the competition, I went on the stage for the very first time in my life;I could feel the nervousness threatening to bring me down, and I felt cheated by my teacher: it was impossible to picture the judges as mere carrots and cabbages.But I went on.Although I only got the third prize at that time, on that stage I stayed ever since, even to this very moment.I should thank my teacher and my mother for letting me take a road that I have never taken before.Little did I know then that this road would one day lead the shy little ten-year-old me into a wonderland;it led me to meet all of you here today.I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that it isn’t so terrifying to venture into the unknown at all;all you need is a little courage and determination.See where my road has led me, and bravely take your first step.
第四篇:第十六届中国日报社“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛亚军张小洁演讲稿
A couple of weeks ago, when I learned the theme of today‟s competition, I asked some of my roommates: “What does „faith‟ mean to you?” Just coming back from a philosophy class, the girls were in a poetic mood: “Faith is what John Lennon had when he wrote the legendary song „Imagine‟ and dreamed of „world peace‟”, “Faith is what the Hebrews had when they followed Moses through the Red Sea in search of their freedom.” “And faith is what the pilgrims had when they journeyed to that strange land on Mayflower, and started their pursuit of a new life.”
Thanks for the history lesson girls, but I was not asking for a great, historic event where faith might have altered the entire course of humanity.All I asked was “what does faith mean to you, to us, the individuals toiling with life‟s hard choices each day?” Personally speaking, faith is like oxygen: I didn‟t know how precious it was until I ran the risk of losing it.My heart stirs still every time memory brings me back to three years ago, when the devastating earthquake engulfed our country.As one of the few cities that took the hit the hardest that day, my hometown was suddenly devoured by a black hole of depression.Having forsaken our worldly possessions, my family joined the army of tents every night, holding our breath and waiting for daybreak;having abandoned the comfort of home, we managed to lift ourselves up, along with neighbors and friends, when each after-shock threatened to tear us down.As a politician once put it, in the face of disaster, we‟re reminded that life can be unimaginably cruel, but it‟s also in these moments, that we rediscover our common faith in life.Indeed, during those dark hours, faith blazed in the courage of my math teacher Ms.Liu, when she stayed behind in a shaking building until she made sure that the last student had safely evacuated;faith radiated from the persistence of my dad when he kept his eyes wide open every single night, so that my mom and I could have a good night‟s sleep;faith was ignited from the empathy of my next-door neighbor, when she took a stranger that was in shock into her arms and consoled him with her warm embrace.In the end, faith was rekindled in the passion of me and my fellow classmates, who immediately got back to preparing for our College Entrance Examination the very next day, with gritted teeth, and a conviction as steady as a rock.Ladies and gentlemen, this is what faith means to me.It‟s the small voice in our ears that says: be strong, be good, and don‟t give up whenever we‟re frustrated by life.That's why after three years, my friends and family have picked themselves up, dusted themselves off and with tougher spirits, begun again their journey towards a better future.At last, to twist the lyrics of last year‟s charity song, I call upon my fellow young friends to chant together with me, in the name of faith, for all those who are still suffering in Haiti, Japan and Myanmar: when I get older, I will be stronger, they‟ll call me faith, just like a waving flag.Let us carry above our heads the waving flag called Faith, and let its many inspirations lift us up from where we belong.

演讲稿:
I was seventeen, almost a senior in high school.I was riding my bike to school.I had taken a special route to pick up a gift, but that day, “the road less traveled by” led to disaster.Crossing a road, a drunk driver ran a red light, slammed into me, and shattered my left knee.It made all the difference.I was forced to postpone college, plunged into painful therapy...but eventually, I also learned much about life and myself.I found the strength to withstand adversity, learned compassion, and above all, I learned that the road not taken is not just about regrets or choices but also about the perpetual now and the always-coming future.When I first studied Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” in middle school, I was unable to grasp its ambiguity.I always thought that Frost’s persona chooses“a road less traveled by” and lives life being subversive and irreverent.I was wrong.In the poem, both of the two roads that “diverged in a yellow wood” are actually “about the same.” But there has to be a choice, and sometimes, they it can be involuntary(as I learned the hard way).This makes me extremely thankful and resolute when I can make conscious choices and plan for the future, and so I know now that Frost's poem is also about “the road not [yet] taken.”
For everyone, this means something slightly different.For me, it means constant vigilance, learning, and love.Our journey is hard, complex, and it often presents unexpected twists, but reflecting on the roads not taken and not yet taken each day gives us a little more strength and confidence.Life cannot and will not me perfect, and the truth is it will end.But as Willa Cather would say, “The end is nothing, the road is all.” The road not taken in the past, and the road not yet taken that lies ahead.But about the present? It joints the past and the future.What then, is
“the road not taken” in the perpetual now? Personally, I find an answer in these lines from Alfred Lord Tennyson’s “Ulysses”:
Tho’ much is taken, much abides;and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven;that which we are, we are
One equal temper of heroic hearts,Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.Thank you.
