A-Community-Helps-Burmese-Refugees-Learn-English This is the VOA Special English Education Report.About eighteen thousand refugees from Burma have come to the United States each year since two thousand seven.Some have settled in Howard County, Maryland, between Baltimore and Washington.A local school began teaching English to the children of the refugees.But while the children learned the language, their parents did not.That makes communication with teachers difficult.Burmese children in class in Howard County, MarylandCurrently almost fifty Burmese youngsters attend Bollman Bridge Elementary School.Laurel Conran is a teacher there.LAUREL CONRAN: “The main idea is the global idea.” She teaches English to speakers of other languages.LAUREL CONRAN: “Today we were doing text structures.I wanted them to know the vocabulary, the language of text structures, so when they go back into the classroom and work with their peers, they can do this successfully in the classroom.” One of her students is Tha Neih Ciang.Another student is Tha Neih's mother, Tin Iang.Ms.Conran practices English with Tin Iang at the mother's workplace.Many Burmese refugees work at Coastal Sunbelt Produce, a supplier of fruits and vegetables to restaurants and other businesses.Laurel Conran started classes at the company to help refugees from the country also known as Myanmar learn English.LAUREL CONRAN: “The program is a six-week session.It's once a week, on every Wednesday, from twelve to one o'clock.So every Wednesday I go to Coastal Sunbelt.” As the Burmese workers eat lunch, they also practice their new language skills.They sit in small groups with an English-speaking volunteer.Lisa Chertok has a child at Bollman Bridge.She is also a manager at Coastal Sunbelt.She helped Ms.Conran develop the lessons, which she says have really helped.LISA CHERTOK: “Well, when the Burmese employees got here, they were very, very shy.Now I find that they are more responsive as employees.They're more communicative.They're also, as parents, they are more involved in their children's school.” Jonathan Davis is the principal of Bollman Bridge Elementary School.JONATHAN DAVIS: “I really see it as the beginning of a great partnership between a business and a school, and we've just begun to scratch the surface with how that could benefit, really, the greater community.” Mr.Davis hopes the lessons will help Burmese parents feel better about communicating with the school.JONATHAN DAVIS: “Even as simply as making a phone call to say that their son or daughter is sick, even if that's the amount of English that they have gotten from the program, that truly will help us.” SPEAKER: “Please welcome Laurel Conran and Lisa Chertok.” For their work, the two women received a Community Builders Award from Howard County.LAUREL CONRAN: “I love this program.As a community we want to work together, collaboratively, because when everybody works together it is a win-win situation.” And that's the VOA Special English Education Report.You can read, listen and learn English and much more with our programs and activities at tingvoa.com.You can watch a video about the Howard County program on our website.And you can find captioned videos at the VOA Learning English channel on YouTube.I'm Steve Ember.Contributing: June Soh

Death-in-the-Family-May-Cause-Real-Heart-Break SHIRLEY GRIFFITH: This is SCIENCE IN THE NEWS, in VOA Special English.I'm SHIRLEY Griffith.MARIO RITTER: And I'm Mario Ritter.Today, we tell about an American study of heart attack survivors.We tell about a scientist recognized for his work in plate tectonics.And we tell how modern-day musicians rated some of the most famous instruments ever made.(MUSIC)SHIRLEY GRIFFITH: Learning about the death of a loved one can be among life's most stressful events.A recent study showed that the risk of heart attack increases in the days and hours after getting news of such a death.Researchers studied nearly two thousand heart attack survivors.The subjects were asked whether someone close to them had died in the six months before their heart attack.Elizabeth Mostofsky is with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts.ELIZABETH MOSTOFSKY: “We found that the risk of having a heart attack was twenty-one times higher in the day following the loss of a loved one, compared to other times.And that risk remained elevated in the subsequent days and weeks.” MARIO RITTER: Elizabeth Mostofsky says earlier research explored the risk of dying from any cause over a year or more after the death of a husband, wife or child.The earlier research did not include the death of other close family members or friends.Ms.Mostofsky and her team studied information from the days immediately after receiving the news.She says several things could explain why the intense feelings after the death of a loved one could lead to a heart attack.ELIZABETH MOSTOFSKY: “Grief causes feeling of depression, anger, and anxiety, and several studies have shown that these emotions can cause increased heart rate, higher blood pressure, and blood clotting.And those in turn, can increase the chances of having a heart attack.SHIRLEY GRIFFITH: Ms.Mostofsky says the family and friends of those mourning for a loved one should know about the increased risk of heart attack.ELIZABETH MOSTOFSKY: ”People should be making sure that the bereaved person is taking care of himself or herself, including taking regular medications, because they are at that heightened level of vulnerability at this time in their life.“ Her research paper was published in ”Circulation,“ the journal of the American Heart Association.(MUSIC)MARIO RITTER: A few weeks ago, we talked about the science of plate tectonics.Plate tectonics explains why the Earth's surface moves.It also tells how?those changes cause earthquakes and volcanic activity.?Today, we tell about a scientist who helped prove the theory of continental drift.Walter C.Pitman, the third, is an adjunct professor of geophysics at Columbia University.Now in his eighties, he works at Columbia's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, New York.SHIRLEY GRIFFITH: When Walter Pitman was a teenager, he enjoyed visiting his father's workplace at Bell Labs research center.He remembers asking the researchers about their work.WALTER PITMAN: ”I worked there in the summertime sweeping floors but I was in amongst all these people.It was wonderful.“ Walter PitmanWalter Pitman studied electrical engineering and physics in college.He then went to work for an electronics company.He was not excited about the work, until one project – doing research on submarines – fueled a love for oceanography.Mister Pitman returned to school.For his doctoral studies, he went back to sea on a research vessel.He hoped to gather evidence that all the continents had once been joined.He thought they had been moving apart on large plates for hundreds of millions of years.MARIO RITTER: Walter Pitman helped prove the idea that Earth's continents move.He did this by recording and studying magnetic patterns at the bottom of the ocean.WALTER PITMAN: ”It was electrifying.I didn't imagine ever being involved in anything so astonishing and so very, very important to the geologic sciences at such a young age in my career.I was very fortunate to be there when it all happened.“ The science of plate tectonics explains how the continents move around the oceans.It also explains how continents can strike each other and break apart, creating earthquakes and mountain chains.SHIRLEY GRIFFITH: Later, Mr.Pitman turned his attention to the surface of the ocean, and sea level changes.He and William Ryan, another Columbia University geophysicist, proposed what is known as the Black Sea Deluge Theory.They suggested that the Black Sea was once a landlocked freshwater lake.Then about seven thousand five hundred years ago, melting ice from glaciers raised water levels in the Mediterranean Sea.WALTER PITMAN: ”You're talking about a huge mass of water coming in to fill a very small basin.And that water as it would come through the Bosporus is going to cut the Bosporus deeper.The deeper it cuts, the faster it flows.The faster it flows, the faster it cuts.There is a feedback mechanism.So soon you start with a trickle and within a very short period of time, it's a roaring, raging flume of water and we're very sure that's what it(the Biblical flood)was, you know.“ MARIO RITTER: Mr.Pitman and other researchers are currently studying the climate of the Arctic Ocean.And they are exploring its effects on water cycles over the past two million years.Their research could help scientists predict the effects of climate change, which is causing sea levels to rise.WALTER PITMAN: ”I've had an incredible, incredibly good time at this kind of endeavor.There are bad spots, of course there are bad spots.But the science is always fascinating.You might, you know, stop reading for the day or something like that and say, ‘Wow, that was so great.I learned something about how the Earth works.' That is really pure pleasure.“(MUSIC)SHIRLEY GRIFFITH: This is the sound of the greatest violin ever made.(violin music #1 in full then fade gently out completely)Or maybe it is this one.(violin music #2 in full then fade)It could be a Stradivarius, or an Amati, or a Guarneri made hundreds of years ago.But it might also have been made just last year by someone whose name is not nearly so famous.And that leads us to ask the following.Can you tell, just by listening, which is the best violin? If so, what makes it great? MARIO RITTER: It all began over three hundred years ago in the town of Cremona in northern Italy.If you wanted to buy a really good musical instrument, you probably visited Antonio Stradivari, Girolamo Amati, or Andrea Guarneri.Many people said they made the best violins that money could buy.Today, many still think of those violins as the greatest of all time.Those that still exist can sell for millions of dollars.Itzhak Perlman playing a Stradivarius violin from the year 1714For years, scientists and musicians have sought to discover the secrets of the master violin makers.They know that most of the time, spruce, willow or maple wood was used.Some people have thought that chemicals like borax were added to the wooden parts.Others have said that honey, or even the white of an egg was painted on the parts before they were put together.SHIRLEY GRIFFITH: Still other researchers say that a special kind of glue was used to connect the parts.Some think the secret is in the varnish, the nearly clear liquid that was used as a final cover to protect the wood.Or maybe the wood was special because it grew at a time when the weather was colder than it is today.In the end, no one knows for sure.And some people say we should not spend a lot of time thinking about the materials and processes used long ago.They instead think that some modern violins sound just as good and cost a lot less.Claudia Fritz at the University of Paris is one of those people.She led a study that was published in ”The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.“ At a musical competition in Indiana, she asked twenty-one really good violin players to test six different instruments.She did not tell them that only three of the violins were very old and costly.Together, the three were worth about ten million dollars.The other three were made by modern luthiers, or instrument makers, and cost a hundred times less.MARIO RITTER: Ms.Fritz asked each of the players to wear welders' goggles, thick, dark eyeglasses, so they could not see the instruments very well while holding them.She thought that some people might be able to identify an old violin by its smell.So she put a little sweet-smelling perfume on the part of the instrument that fits under a player's chin.The test began in a hotel room.All the subjects in the experiment were permitted to play all six violins, and then say which one they would like to own.Then each player was given only two violins to test.One was very old.The other was modern.They were asked which of the two sounded better.The results of the test led Ms.Fritz to believe that there is no secret to how the old, great violins were made.SHIRLEY GRIFFITH: Of the twenty-one players, only eight chose an old violin as the best.Even a recently made violin was judged to be much better sounding than the world famous Stradivarius.Ms.Fritz says the difference between the old and new instruments is only in the mind of the player.Modern luthiers were happy that she found what they believed.But some professional musicians think the test had little value.One noted that violins are meant to be heard in a concert hall, not a hotel room.MARIO RITTER: Researchers have performed tests like this many times in the past.But Ms.Fritz says those tests asked average listeners to try to predict which violin was made by a master.Her test was given to concert violinists who play at the highest level.They are the ones you would expect to have the best ”ear“ for great sound.There is an old saying that, ”beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.“ If that is true, then perhaps your opinion of how an instrument sounds to your ear is really what matters.SHIRLEY GRIFFITH: This SCIENCE IN THE NEWS was written by Brianna Blake and Jim Tedder.June Simms was our producer.I'm SHIRLEY Griffith.MARIO RITTER: And I'm Mario Ritter.Listen again next week for more news about science in Special English on the Voice of America.A-Goal-for-2012-Learning-English This is the VOA Special English Education Report.这里是美国之音慢速英语教育报道。

AIDS-Study-Called-2011-Breakthrough

This is the VOA Special English Health Report.这里是美国之音慢速英语健康报道。

The journal Science chose an AIDS study as the twenty-eleven ”Breakthrough of the Year.“ The study found that antiretroviral drugs can greatly lower the risk of spreading HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.It showed that infected people with early treatment were ninety-six percent less likely to infect their partners.《科学》杂志评选一项艾滋病研究作为2011年的“年度突破”。该研究发现,抗逆转录病毒药物可以极大地降低艾滋病毒传播的风险。这表明,接受早期治疗的感染者感染其性伴侣的几率要低96%。

The study was a clinical trial known as HPTN 052.Myron Cohen led an international team that began the study in two thousand seven and announced the results last May.But Dr.Cohen says the work really began twenty years ago.该研究是一项被称为HPTN 052的临床试验。迈伦·科恩(Myron Cohen)领导的一个国际研究小组于2007年开始了这项研究,并于去年5月宣布了研究结果。科恩表示,这项研究工作真正开始于20年前。

MYRON COHEN: ”We had a strong suspicion based on all the biological studies we had done that when we treat people and lower the concentration of HIV in the blood and secretions, we were rendering them less contagious.But we didn't understand the magnitude of the benefit.It blows a gigantic wind behind the idea that treatment will serve as prevention.“ 科恩:“我们强烈怀疑,基于我们在治疗病人和降低血液及分泌物中艾滋病毒的浓度时所做的所有生物实验,我们降低了它们的传染性。但我们不清楚其受益程度。它让我们突发想象:治疗可以用作预防。”

Dr.Cohen is director of the Institute for Global Health and Infectious Diseases at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases paid for the study.科恩博士是北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校全球卫生和传染病研究所所长。美国国立过敏和传染病研究所为该研究提供资金。

The study involved heterosexual couples in nine countries in Africa, Asia and the Americas.The results have already had an effect on government policies.Those changes include treating HIV-infected people when their immune systems are still relatively healthy.该研究涉及了生活在非洲、亚洲和美洲9个国家的异性伴侣。研究结果已经影响到政府的政策。这些变化包括在艾滋病病毒感染者的免疫系统仍相对健康时对他们进行治疗。

MYRON COHEN: ”This particular 052 study in the last six months has generated policy changes at the level of the United States and the World Health Organization and UNAIDS.And it's inspired new community-based clinical trials that are just about to be launched that apply the scientific discovery.So when you do a single study and it receives so much recognition, and then seems to inform policy in a dramatic way, you think, OK, this was twenty years well-spent.“ 科恩:“过去6个月,052这一特殊研究已经在美国、世界卫生组织和联合国艾滋病规划署这一层面上产生了政策变化。它也启发了正要推行的应用了科学发现的基于社区的新临床试验。因此当你从事一项单一研究并得到这么多的认可,然后似乎又以一种戏剧性方式影响到政策,你就会认为这20年功夫没白费。”

Dr.Cohen says the study results will be wasted unless they are linked to other areas of HIV treatment and prevention.科恩博士表示,如果不和其它方面的艾滋病病毒治疗和预防相结合,这一研究结果就将被浪费。

MYRON COHEN: ”So the 052 study kind of lends itself to understanding that if we don't know who's positive and negative, there's no benefit.If people aren't linked to care, there's no benefit.If they aren't provided drugs, there's no benefit.If they receive the drugs but don't take the pills, there's no benefit.So this cascade is now the focus of our attention.“ 科恩:“052研究有点儿便于理解,如果我们不知道谁是阴性和阳性,如果人们不与治疗挂钩,如果不给他们提供药物,如果他们得到了药物却不吃,都不会从中受益。所以这一系列问题是我们现在关注的焦点。”

AIDS activist Mitchell Warren was among those who welcomed the results.艾滋病活动家米切尔·沃伦(Mitchell Warren)是欢迎这一研究结果的人士之一。MITCHELL WARREN: ”Treatment is prevention.And that becomes a fundamentally different conversation because for many years debates have waged whether we should do treatment or prevention.And the results of the HPTN 052 study actually affirm once and for all that treatment is prevention.“ 沃伦:“治疗就是预防,这成为了一种本质不同的对话。因为多年来一直辩论我们是否应该进行治疗和预防。HPTN 052研究的结果实际上彻底肯定了治疗就是预防。”

Science also recognized nine other scientific developments last year.You can find the list at tingvoa.com.They include progress on a malaria vaccine and research on the DNA of our ancient ancestors.They also include a study of cells that have stopped dividing.It found that clearing them from the bodies of mice can delay some of the effects of aging.《科学》杂志还表扬了去年的另9项科技发展。你可以在tingvoa.com网站上找到该名单。这其中包括疟疾疫苗以及我们远古祖先的DNA研究的进展。还包括一项已经停止分裂的细胞的研究,该研究发现,从老鼠身体中清除这种细胞后,可以延缓衰老。

Amelia-Earhart-First-Woman-to-Fly-Across-the-Atlantic-Alone MARY TILLOTSON: This is Mary Tillotson.STEVE EMBER: And this is Steve Ember with the VOA Special English program EXPLORATIONS.Today, we tell about Amelia Earhart.She was one of America's first female pilots.(MUSIC)MARY TILLOTSON: Amelia Earhart was born in eighteen ninety-seven in the middle western state of Kansas.She was not a child of her times.Most American girls at the beginning of the twentieth century were taught to sit quietly and speak softly.They were not permitted to play ball or climb trees.Those activities were considered fun for boys.They were considered wrong for girls.Amelia and her younger sister Muriel were lucky.Their parents believed all children needed physical activity to grow healthy and strong.So Amelia and Muriel were very active girls.They rode horses.They played baseball and basketball.They went fishing with their father.Other parents would not let their daughters play with Amelia and Muriel.STEVE EMBER: The Earharts lived in a number of places in America's Middle West when the girls were growing up.The family was living in Chicago, Illinois when Amelia completed high school in nineteen sixteen.Amelia then prepared to enter a university.During a holiday, she visited her sister in Toronto, Canada.World War One had begun by then.And Amelia was shocked by the number of wounded soldiers sent home from the fighting in France.She decided she would be more useful as a nurse than as a student.So she joined the Red Cross.MARY TILLOTSON: Amelia Earhart first became interested in flying while living in Toronto.She talked with many pilots who were treated at the soldiers' hospital.She also spent time watching planes at a nearby military airfield.Flying seemed exciting.But the machinery – the plane itself – was exciting, too.After World War One ended, Amelia spent a year recovering from the disease pneumonia.She read poetry and went on long walks.She learned to play the banjo.And she went to school to learn about engines.When she was healthy again, she entered Columbia University in New York City.She studied medicine.After a year she went to California to visit her parents.During that trip, she took her first ride in an airplane.And when the plane landed, Amelia Earhart had a new goal in life.She would learn to fly.(MUSIC)STEVE EMBER: One of the world's first female pilots, Neta Snook, taught Amelia to fly.It did not take long for Amelia to make her first flight by herself.She received her official pilot's license in nineteen twenty.Then she wanted a plane of her own.She earned most of the money to buy it by working for a telephone company.Her first plane had two sets of wings, a bi-plane.On June seventeenth, nineteen twenty-eight, the plane left the eastern province of Newfoundland, Canada.The pilot and engine expert were men.The passenger was Amelia Earhart.The planed landed in Wales twenty hours and forty minutes later.For the first time, a woman had crossed the Atlantic Ocean by air.MARY TILLOTSON: Amelia did not feel very important, because she had not flown the plane.Yet the public did not care.People on both sides of the Atlantic were excited by the tall brave girl with short hair and gray eyes.They organized parties and parades in her honor.Suddenly, she was famous.Amelia Earhart had become the first lady of the air.She wrote a book about the flight.She made speeches about flying.And she continued to fly by herself across the United States and back.STEVE EMBER: Flying was a new and exciting activity in the early nineteen twenties.Pilots tested and demonstrated their skills in air shows.Amelia soon began taking part in these shows.She crashed one time in a field of cabbage plants.The accident did not stop her from flying.But she said it did decrease her desire to eat cabbages.Flying was fun, but costly.Amelia could not continue.She sold her bi-plane, bought a car and left California.She moved across the country to the city of Boston, Massachusetts.She taught English to immigrants and then became a social worker.MARY TILLOTSON: In the last years of the nineteen twenties, hundreds of record flights were made.A few were made by women.But no woman had flown across the Atlantic Ocean.A wealthy American woman, Amy Guest, bought a plane to do this.However, her family opposed the idea.So she looked for another woman to take her place.Friends proposed Amelia Earhart.STEVE EMBER: American publisher George Putnam had helped organize the Atlantic Ocean flight that made Amelia famous.Afterwards, he continued to support her flying activities.In nineteen thirty-one, George and Amelia were married.He helped provide financial support for her record flights.On May twentieth, nineteen thirty-two, Amelia took off from Newfoundland.She headed east in a small red and gold plane.Amelia had problems with ice on the wings, fog from the ocean and instruments that failed.At one point, her plane dropped suddenly nine hundred meters.She regained control.And after fifteen hours she landed in Ireland.She had become the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean alone.(MUSIC)MARY TILLOTSON: In the next few years, Amelia Earhart set more records and received more honors.She was the first to fly from Hawaii to California, alone.She was the first to fly from Mexico City to New York City, without stopping.Amelia hoped her flights would prove that flying was safe for everyone.She hoped women would have jobs at every level of the industry when flying became a common form of transportation.STEVE EMBER: In nineteen thirty-five, the president of Purdue University in Indiana asked Amelia to do some work there.He wanted her to be an adviser on aircraft design and navigation.He also wanted her to be a special adviser to female students.Purdue University provided Amelia with a new all-metal, two-engine plane.It had so many instruments she called it the ”Flying Laboratory.“ It was the best airplane in the world at that time.Amelia decided to use this plane to fly around the world.She wanted to go around the equator.It was a distance of forty-three thousand kilometers.No one had attempted to fly that way before.MARY TILLOTSON: Amelia's trip was planned carefully.The goal was not to set a speed record.The goal was to gather information.Crew members would study the effects of height and temperature on themselves and the plane.They would gather small amounts of air from the upper atmosphere.And they would examine the condition of airfields throughout the world Amelia knew the trip would be dangerous.A few days before she left, she gave a small American flag to her friend Jacqueline Cochran, another female pilot.Amelia had carried the flag on all her major flights.Jacqueline did not want to take it until Amelia returned from her flight around the world.”No,“ Amelia told her, ”you had better take it now.“(MUSIC)STEVE EMBER: Amelia and three male crew members were to make the flight.However, a minor accident and weather conditions forced a change in plans.So on June first, nineteen thirty-seven, a silver Lockheed Electra plane left Miami, Florida.It carried pilot Amelia Earhart and just one male crew member, navigator Fred Noonan.Amelia Earhart in front of a map of her proposed trip around he world Amelia and Fred headed south toward the equator.They stopped in Puerto Rico, Surinam and Brazil.They crossed the Atlantic Ocean to Africa, where they stopped in Senegal, Chad, Sudan and Ethiopia.Then they continued on to India, Burma, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and Australia.MARY TILLOTSON: When they reached New Guinea, they were about to begin the most difficult part of the trip.They would fly four thousand kilometers to tiny Howland Island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.Three hours after leaving New Guinea, Amelia sent back a radio message.She said she was on a direct path to Howland Island.Later, Amelia's radio signals were received by a United States Coast Guard ship near the island.The messages began to warn of trouble.Fuel was getting low.They could not find Howland Island.They could not see any land at all.STEVE EMBER: The radio signals got weaker and weaker.A message on the morning of July second was incomplete.Then there was silence.American Navy ships and planes searched the area for fifteen days.They found nothing.Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan were officially declared ”lost at sea.“(MUSIC)MARY TILLOTSON: This Special English Program was written by Marilyn Rice Christiano.It was produced by Paul Thompson.This is Mary Tillotson.STEVE EMBER: And this is Steve Ember.Join us again next week for another EXPLORATIONS program on the VOICE OF AMERICA.American-History-Life-in-the-1970s-and-80s STEVE EMBER: Welcome to THE MAKING OF A NATION--American history in VOA Special English.I'm Steve Ember.This week in our series, we look back at some of the social issues and cultural changes in America in the nineteen seventies and eighties.(MUSIC)In some ways, the nineteen eighties seemed like the opposite of the nineteen sixties.The sixties were years of protest for social justice and change.Many Americans demonstrated against the Vietnam War.Blacks demonstrated for civil rights.Women demonstrated for equality.Many people welcomed new social programs created by the government.By the nineteen eighties, however, many people seemed more concerned with themselves than with helping society.To them, success was measured mainly by how much money a person made.People wanted to live the good life, and that took money.The changes started to become evident during the nineteen seventies.For a while, these years brought a continuation of the social experiments and struggles of the sixties.But then people began to see signs of what society would be like in the eighties.There were a number of reasons for this change.One reason was the end to America's military involvement in Vietnam after years of war.Another was the progress of civil rights activists and the women's movement toward many of their goals.A third reason was the economy.During the nineteen seventies, the United States suffered a recession.Interest rates and inflation were high.A shortage of imported oil as a result of tensions in the Middle East only added to the problems.As the nineteen seventies went on, many Americans became tired of economic struggle.They also became tired of social struggle.They had been working together for common interests.Now, many wanted to spend more time on their own interests.This change appeared in many parts of society.It affected popular culture, education and politics.ARCHIE BUNKER(CARROLL O'CONNOR): ”Let me hear your idea again.“ MICHAEL(ROB REINER): ”OK, I want us to watch Jack Lemmon and a group of famous scientists discuss pollution and ecology on channel thirteen.“ ARCHIE: ”Good.And I wanna watch football highlights on channel two.Now guess what's gonna happen.“(MUSIC)One of the most popular television programs of that time was a comedy series that often dealt with politics and serious social issues.The show was called ”All in the Family.“ The family was led by a factory worker named Archie Bunker.Carroll O'Connor played Archie, and Jean Stapleton played his wife, Edith.The Bunkers lived in a working-class neighborhood in the Queens borough of New York City.Archie represented the struggles of the blue-collar working man against the social changes in America.He loved his country and was socially conservative--in the extreme.ARCHIE: ”What about John Wayne? And before you say anything, lemme warn you –-when you're talking about the Duke, you ain't just talking about an actor;you're talking about the spirit that made America great.“ MICHAEL: ”Are you kidding?“ His opinions on subjects like race and women's equality were always good for an argument with his liberal daughter and even more liberal son-in-law.MICHAEL: ”Good.I can mail my letter today and it'll get to Washington by Monday.“ EDITH(JEAN STAPLETON): ”Washington--are you writing to Washington? GLORIA(SALLY STRUTHERS): “That's right.Michael wrote the president.” ARCHIE: “Write to the president, about what?” GLORIA: “All the things we've been talking about – the pollution of our air, the pollution of our water, the way us housewives have no protection from foods without nutrition, how they make products with harmful things in them.Like you saw what happened to Michael from that shirt.” ARCHIE: “You, Michael Stivic, Meathead, you have the nerve to write to the president of the United States about your rash?” Edith would always try to make peace.EDITH: “Maybe he knows a good skin man [dermatologist].”(MUSIC: “Happy Days” theme)Another popular program, “Happy Days,” about family life in the nineteen fifties, offered an escape from the social issues of the day.(MUSIC)Music also changed.In the nineteen sixties, folk music was popular.Many of those folk songs were about social problems.But in the nineteen seventies, there was hard rock and punk.TV HOST: “Here is Wonder Mike, Hank and Master G--the Sugarhill Gang.” And in nineteen seventy-nine a group called the Sugarhill Gang brought rap music to national attention with a hit called “Rapper's Delight.”(MUSIC: “Rappers Delight”)In bookstores, the growing number of self-help books offered another sign of social change.These books advised people about ways to make themselves happier.One of the most popular self-help books was “I'm OK--You're OK” by Wayne Dyer.It was published in nineteen sixty-nine and led the way for many other popular psychology books throughout the seventies.(MUSIC)Politically, the United States went through several changes during the nineteen seventies.For most of the sixties the nation was governed by liberal Democratic administrations.Then in nineteen sixty-eight a conservative Republican, Richard Nixon, was elected president.Nixon won a second term four years later, but had to resign in nineteen seventy-four because of the Watergate scandal.Nixon's vice president, Gerald Ford, took his place.Two years later, Ford was defeated by Jimmy Carter, a Democrat who until then was little known nationally.The election showed that Americans were angry with the Republican Party because of Watergate.But they soon became unhappy with President Carter.They blamed him for failing to improve the economy and for failing to end a crisis involving American hostages in Iran.He lost his re-election campaign to Ronald Reagan.RONALD REAGAN: “Are you better off than you were four years ago?”(MUSIC)Michael Douglas in “Wall Street”Reagan, a Republican, won two terms and led the nation during most of the nineteen eighties.For many people, the Reagan years offered a renewed sense of economic opportunity.Reagan reduced taxes, which increased his popularity.But the national debt grew as he raised military spending to put pressure on the Soviet Union.(MUSIC)The self-centeredness of many people in the seventies and eighties gave rise to terms like the “me” generation.“ And there was the rise of ”yuppies“--young urban professionals remaking older neighborhoods in cities, often displacing poorer people.Popular entertainment at that time was often about financial success.ANNOUNCER: ”Premiering Sunday, April second, 'Dallas,' where money buys power and passion breeds conflict...“(MUSIC: ”Dallas“ theme)”Dallas“ was a TV drama about a Texas oil family with more money, and more problems, than they knew what to do with.It became a hit not just in the United States but around the world.Actor Larry Hagman played JR.JR EWING(LARRY HAGMAN): ”Your daddy lacked the killer instinct.He forgave those who transgressed against him.People just weren't afraid of him.And he overlooked ol' JR's golden rules.CASEY(ANDREW STEVENS): “And what might they be?” JR EWING: “Don't forgive and don't forget.And do unto others, before they do unto you.And, most especially, keep your eye on your friends, 'cause your enemies will take care of themselves.Oh, and one other thing – the oil business is a little bit like a poker game.It's good to get caught bluffing early on, 'cause, after that, somebody's gonna call you when you've got a winning hand.”(MUSIC)“Dynasty” was another popular series about rich people behaving badly.One of its stars was veteran actor John Forsythe.BLAKE CARRINGTON(JOHN FORSYTHE): “Those banks are going to find out that they've got more than they can handle.Denver-Carrington [company] is Blake Carrington, and they'll come begging to me to run the company again.I know they will.And I'll make them get down on their knees when they come begging.” There was also “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous,” a series about real-life wealthy people, hosted by Robin Leach.ROBIN LEACH: “Our bustling capital city combines the chic with the freak, the 'Oh, God' with the avant garde.So let's go 'upper deck' with a couple of my good friends, and run away with the rich and famous...” And at the movie theater, there was the nineteen eighty-seven film “Wall Street.” GORDON GECKO(MICHAEL DOUGLAS): “The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good.Greed is right.Greed works.” Michael Douglas played a character named Gordon Gecko, who earns his wealth by raiding companies and illegally trading on inside information.President Reagan during a news conference at the White House on March 19, 1987GORDON GECKO(MICHAEL DOUGLAS): “Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.Greed, in all of its forms, greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge, has marked the upward surge of mankind.And greed – you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the U.S.A.Thank you very much.[Applause]”(MUSIC: “Rambo” theme)Good triumphed over evil in the “Rambo” action films starring Sylvester Stallone.He played a troubled hero who had fought in Vietnam.The films were violent.But they represented a more positive view than society had shown in the past toward veterans of that unpopular war.In the nineteen eighties people came to fear a new disease that could be spread by sex or blood.It was the rise of the AIDS epidemic.At the same time a new drug--crack cocaine--started a wave of violence in American cities.Technology was also on the rise.ANNOUNCER: “You don't have to be a genius to use a computer.Let Computer Land show you how easy it is to manage your own small business or home finances with the Atari 800.Record keeping, information, communication, and a world of new ideas from Atari.” Personal computers appeared in more and more offices, schools and homes.Michael Jackson performs with his brothers at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on December 3, 1984The nineteen eighties brought stardom to young entertainer Michael Jackson.(MUSIC: “Beat It”/Michael Jackson)And no history of the eighties would be complete without noting the rise of Music Television--better known as MTV.(MUSIC: “Money for Nothing”/Dire Straits)You can find our series online with transcripts, MP3s, podcasts and pictures at tingvoa.com.You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter at VOA Learning English.I'm Steve Ember, inviting you to join us again next week for THE MAKING OF A NATION--American history in VOA Special English.__ Contributing: Jerilyn Watson This was program #225.

第三篇:VOA奥巴马演讲

President Barack Obama has officially begun his campaign to win a second term in the White House, six months before Election Day.The president kicked off the campaign Saturday on college campuses in two key states.美国总统奥巴马正式开始了争取连任的竞选活动,此时距选举日还有六个月时间。奥巴马总统周六在两个关键州的大学校园启动了竞选。

Mr.Obama's first campaign rally was at Ohio State University in Columbus.He urged those who supported him four years ago to do so again.“We will finish what we started.We are still fired up.We are still ready to go,” he said.奥巴马竞选活动首站到了俄亥俄州立大学哥伦布分校。他呼吁这些四年前投票给他的人再度给予支持。奥巴马说:“我们一定会完成我们所开始的工作,我们如今还是踌躇满志,还是准备好上路!”

Next, a similar rally at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.接着,奥巴马到里士满的维吉尼亚州立邦联大学进行了类似的竞选活动。

Ohio and Virginia are two of the states where analysts believe this year's election may be decided.分析人士认为,在今年的大选中,俄亥俄州和维吉尼亚州将是决定胜负的两个州。

The U.S.economy could be the deciding issue, especially in manufacturing-heavy states like Ohio, where the president defended his record.“Exports surged.And over four million jobs were created in the last two years, more of one million of those in the last six months alone,” he said.起决定因素的很可能是美国的经济状况,尤其是在俄亥俄这样的以制造业为主的州。奥巴马总统在俄亥俄州讲话的时候,谈到他的政绩。他说:“我们的出口增长了许多;过去两年里,创造了四百万个新的就业机会,光是过去的这六个月里,就创造了一百多万个就业机会。”

Mr.Obama repeatedly accused his likely Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, of favoring policies that benefit the rich and hurt the middle class.“Republicans in Congress have found a nominee for president who has promised to rubber-stamp(endorse entirely)this agenda if he gets the chance,” he said.奥巴马在讲话中,反复批评了很有可能代表共和党问鼎白宫的前麻萨诸塞州州长罗姆尼。他指责罗姆尼一贯偏向有利于富人、但是对中产阶级非常不利的政策。奥巴马说:“国会的共和党人找到了一位他们想要的总统候选人,也就是一位将会按照国会共和党人的旨意办事的总统候选人。”

Romney says the president is to blame for the sluggish economic recovery.The former Massachusetts governor says the Obama administration is over-regulating business and hampering efforts to turn the economy around.罗姆尼表示,美国经济复苏的速度很慢,这应该归咎于奥巴马。这位前任马萨诸塞州州长表示,奥巴马政府对企业界的管制过于严格,阻碍了经济复苏。

He has also been sharply critical of Mr.Obama's 2010 health care law.罗姆尼还对奥巴马在2010年提出的健康保险法案,提出了尖锐的批评。

At a campaign rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Friday, Romney said the program must be repealed.“First of all, I would take away one of the things that frightens entrepreneurs and innovators and businesses of all kinds from hiring.I will get rid of Obamacare,” he said.星期五,罗姆尼在宾夕法尼亚州的匹斯堡展开竞选活动时表示,奥巴马的健康保险法案,一定要被废除。罗姆尼说:“如果当选总统,我首先要做的,就是废除让创业人、创新者和各种公司企业都不敢雇人的奥巴马健保法案。”

The president defended his policy and accused Romney of wanting to move the country backward.“America does not need to re-fight the battles we just had over Wall Street reform and health care reform,” he said.奥巴马在讲话中为自己的政策辩护,并且指责罗姆尼企图把国家拉向倒退。奥巴马说:“华尔街改革、健康保健改革的仗已经打完了,美国不需要再来一遍。”

The Obama campaign slogan is “Forward,” and the president portrayed himself as someone who understands the struggles of middle-class Americans.奥巴马的竞选口号是“朝前看”。他强调自己能够体谅美国中产阶级的难处。

In Columbus, Michelle Obama introduced her husband, as she is expected to do frequently during the campaign.Polls show that the First Lady is more popular than the president.“I will admit, I am a little biased, because I think our president is awesome,” she said.在俄亥俄州哥伦布的竞选活动中,奥巴马的夫人米歇尔把他介绍给观众。预计,在接下来的竞选活动中,米歇尔将继续扮演这一角色。民意调查结果显示,在民众当中,米歇尔比奥巴马更受欢迎。米歇尔说:“我承认,我确实有点偏见的,因为我的确认为,我们的总统很不简单!”

The two rallies on college campuses Saturday are expected to be the first of many for the Obama campaign.星期六在两个大学校园展开的竞选活动,只是奥巴马接下来一系列竞选活动的开始。

Young voters were an essential part of the coalition that helped elect Mr.Obama in 2008, and he will need their help again this year.2008年奥巴马首次当选总统的时候,来自年轻选民的支持,对他的成功,起到了非常重要的作用。这次选举,奥巴马仍然需要年轻选民的大力支持

第四篇:VOA英语演讲稿

英语演讲稿范文 ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon!i’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech.today my topic is “youth”.i hope you will like it, and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.first i want to ask you some questions:

1、do you know what is youth?

2、how do you master your youth? youth youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind;it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness;it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.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.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.when the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.thank you!青春

青春不是指岁月,而是指心态。粉嫩的脸,红润的唇,矫健的膝并不是青春。青春表现在意志的坚强与懦弱。想象的丰富与苍白、情感的充沛与贫乏等方面。青春是生命深处清泉的喷涌。

青春是追求。只有当勇气盖过怯弱、进取压倒苟安之时,青春才存在。果如此,则60见之长者比20岁之少年更具青春活力。仅仅岁月的流逝并不能使他们衰老。而一旦抛弃理想和信念,则垂垂老也。

岁月只能使皮肤起皱。而一旦丧失生活的激情,则连灵魂枯老,使人生枯如死水,毫无活力。60岁长者也好,16岁少年也罢,每个人的内心深处都渴望奇迹,都如孩子一般眨着期待的双眼,期待着下一次,期待着生活的情趣,你我灵魂深处都有一座无线电中转站------只有你我年轻,则总能听到希望的呼唤,总能发出喜悦的欢呼,总能传达勇气的讯号,总能表现出青春的活力??? 一旦青春的天线倒下,你的灵魂即为玩世不恭之雪、悲观厌世之冰覆盖;即使你年方 20.其实你已垂垂老也。而只要你青春的天线高高耸起,就可以随时接收到乐观的电波-----即使你年过八旬,行将就木,而你却仍然拥有青春,你仍然年轻。谢谢!saying goodbye to childhood,we step into another important time in the pace of young,facing new situations,dealing with different problems.....everyone has his ownunderstanding of young,it is a period of time of beauty and wonders,only after you have having a view on these great men in the history of hunmanbeing,they all made full use of their youth time ,to do things that are useful to society,to the whole mankind,and as a cosquence ,they are remembered by later generations,admired by everyone.so do something in the time of young,although you may not get achievements as these greatmen did ,though not for the whole word,just for youeself,for those around!the young is just like blooming flowers,they are so beautiful when blooming,they make people feel happy,but with time passing by,after they withers ,moet people think they are ugly.and so it is the same with young,we are enthusiastic when we are young,then we may lose our passion when getting older and older.so we must treasure it ,dont let the limitted time pass by ,leaving nothing of significance.篇二:经典英文演讲稿 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? independently.we help each other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take part time jobs to supplement our pocket money.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 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 kipling said:“east is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet!”

but now, a century later, they have met.i love beijing and hennan opera because it always reminds me of who i am.but i am also a fan of pop music, especially english songs.so i when two cultures meet, there may be things in one culture, which do not fit into the tradition of the other.when this happens, we need to learn to understand and respect the customs of another culture.then there are certain things some people may not like.to this, i will say, if you do not like it, please try to tolerate it.to learn to tolerate what you personally don’t like is a great virtue at a time when different cultures mix and merge.before us, there are two rivers, eastern and western cultures.at present, they may run in different courses.but eventually, they will converge into the vast sea of human culture.right now, i can see peoples of eastern and western cultures, standing side by side, singing the olympic theme song: we are hand in hand, heart to heart, together we will shape a beautiful tomorrow!thank you!让我们共同感受东西方的融合吉卜林说过:东方是东方,西方是西方,二者永不相聚。但是一个世纪后的今天,东西方相汇了!它们相聚在经济领域,它们相聚在教育领域,它们相聚在艺术的殿堂。有人争论说:这种融合需要我们在东方和西方之间做出选择,但我却坚信最美好的未来在于东方和西方创造性的融合。我们可以将西方的思想,观念和技术变为我们自己所用的东西。

我喜爱京剧和河南豫剧,因为它们经常使我想起自己是谁。但我也热衷于流行音乐,特别是英文歌曲。于是我将东方的旋律和西方的语言结合到了一起,它叫做西方版的河南豫剧。

当两种文化相结合的时候,也许一方的文化中的某些东西不适应另一方的传统文化。当此种情况出现时,我们需要试着理解并接受另一种文化中的风俗习惯。然而,也许有些东西你并不喜欢,对于此,我可以说,如果你不喜欢它,请试着去容忍它。当两种文化融合的时候,试着去容忍你个人不喜欢的东西是一种美德。在我们面前有两条河流,东方文化和西方文化。现在,它们也许正朝着不同的方向流去。但是最终它们将汇合到人类文化的海洋里。

就在此时此刻,我看见东方和西方的人肩并肩的站在一起,高唱奥林匹克主题曲:我们手拉手,心靠着心,共同创造美好的明天!大学生英语演讲稿英语风采大赛半决赛选手自备演讲赏析(大学成人组)

十五、黄扬,21,福建 farewell, indifference who was the most well-known figure in china last month? it’s ma jiajue—the college student who murdered 4 of his roommates.many people attributed his crime to his poverty and deficient education.in my opinion, his crime also has much to do with his classmates’ indifference.indifference is a terrible disease in today’s colleges and the whole society.it’s not rare that two students who have studied together for 4 years have never spoken to each other.it’s not rare that a student who has been absent from class for several days is not noticed at all.it’s also not rare that a student who has severe psychological problems is not cared about at all.some people may say ‘what the students with psychological problems like ma jiajue need is not care but psychotherapy.” however, when people are ill, what they need most is not only medical treatment, but also care from people around them.every smile and every caring word will bring sunshine to their life.what can we do to prevent the tragedy of ma jiajue from happening again? some people may say ‘let’s open more psychological courses in schools.’ and other people may say ‘let’s donate more money for the poor students.’ but i’ll say “my fellow student, let’s give more love and care to our roommates, our classmates and every person around us!” 走出冷漠

谁是中国上个月最有名的人物? 这当然要数马加爵了——这个杀害了四名同学的大学生。很多人将他的犯罪归结于他的贫穷和不全面的教育。但我觉得他的犯罪还跟他周围同学的冷漠有很大关系。

冷漠是流行于当今校园及整个社会中的一种可怕的疾病。有的同学在一起学习了4年却从未说过话,有的同学几天没去上课却无人知晓,还有的同学有了严重的心理问题却得不到关心。篇三:怎样写英语发言稿2 怎样写英语发言稿

教学目标:通过本节课使学生能够掌握写英语发言稿的写作方法,并根据所给短 文的信息,综合运用所学的知识,完成写作任务

教学重点:英语发言稿的技巧及写作方法指导训练

如果面对的是熟悉的听众,开头和结尾也可以活泼些、灵活些

例如:(见屏幕)

good morning /good afternoon,everyone„...that’s all.thank you.good evening!ladies and gentlemen„„that’s all.thank you.hi,everyone, it is so nice to see all of you here„„that’s all.thank you for listening(至于开幕词、闭幕词、欢迎词、欢送词、告别词的开头与结尾我们以后再讲)

(2)正文(见屏幕)

发言稿正文常分为三部分:

(1)第一部分:开门见山地提出本人要谈的问题及对问题的看法

(2)第二部分:说明理由。常用到的连接成分有:first of all,secondly,finally等等。

(3)第三部分:照应开头,总结全文。可以对全文作简明扼要的总结,也可以谈自己的感想、看法或期望。常用到的句式有:in short„,in a word,i think,i expect等

因为高考试题在命题形式上侧重于考查发言稿正文的写法。所以写正文时要注意以下三点:

(1)观点要鲜明。对问题持有什看法,要明确表态,不要含糊其辞。要中心明确,重

点突出,但不必面面俱到。

(2)条理要清晰。一篇发言稿要谈几方面的问题,每一方面有那些要点要进行阐述,都要安排得有条有理,让人听起来容易抓住重点。

(3)适当增加关联词和细节。发言稿开头于结尾已经给出。那么在命题形式上侧重于 考查发言稿正文的写法,所以我们在根据要点组织正文内容时,可以适当增加关

联词和细节,以使短文连贯、完整。

(4)语言要简洁明快,发言时因为要直接面对听众,所以发言稿的特定形式决定了其

语言的口语性强,因此应少用复杂句,多用简单句。话说的要准确、易懂,最好

运用大众语言。所以我们在组织句子时要注意“三多一少”即简单句式多,祈使

句多、情态动词多,修饰性词语少。但文中的句型也要善于变化,不要过于单一。

六、作文

内容要点:篇四:英语演讲稿 listening and speaking course the effects of ad.on people’s life good morning, ladies and gentlemen!i’m very glad to stand here and give you a speech.at first, i’ll show you a great advertisement.it’s based on an advertisement of a conditioner.the swedish childhood cancer foundation used the same technique and made a new version to show the reality we faced everyday.while the train stopped in the station, the hair of the model will be blown up.it’s very creative and attracted publics’ attention successfully.however, the model’s hair was blown away.a child who suffered from cancer appeared on the screen.the first time i watched this advertisement, i was touched deeply.obviously, this advertisement has received a good result, more and more people started to pay attention to these fortuneless children and helped them.this is the power of public service ads.that’s all, thank you.篇五:基础英语演讲稿汇总 第一篇:youth(青春)ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon!i?m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech.today my topic is “youth”.i hope you will like it, and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.first i want to ask you some questions:

1、do you know what is youth?

2、how do you master your youth? youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind;it is not rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions: it is the freshness;it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.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.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.when the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.thank you!青春

青春不是指岁月,而是指心态。粉嫩的脸,红润的唇,矫健的膝并不是青春。青春表现在意志的坚强与懦弱。想象的丰富与苍白、情感的充沛与贫乏等方面。青春是生命深处清泉的喷涌。

青春是追求。只有当勇气盖过怯弱、进取压倒苟安之时,青春才存在。果如此,则60见之长者比20岁之少年更具青春活力。仅仅岁月的流逝并不能使他们衰老。而一旦抛弃理想和

信念,则垂垂老也。

岁月只能使皮肤起皱。而一旦丧失生活的激情,则连灵魂枯老,使人生枯如死水,毫无活力。60岁长者也好,16岁少年也罢,每个人的内心深处都渴望奇迹,都如孩子一般眨着期待的双眼,期待着下一次,期待着生活的情趣,你我灵魂深处都有一座无线电中转站------只有你我年轻,则总能听到希望的呼唤,总能发出喜悦的欢呼,总能传达勇气的讯号,总能表现出青春的活力„„ 一旦青春的天线倒下,你的灵魂即为玩世不恭之雪、悲观厌世之冰覆盖;即使你年方20.其实你已垂垂老也。而只要你青春的天线高高耸起,就可以随时接收到乐观的电波-----即使你年过八旬,行将就木,而你却仍然拥有青春,你仍然年轻。

谢谢!

第二篇:my dream(我的梦想)at last, i want to say to everybody” hold fast to your dreams, no matter how big or small they are.the path to dreams may not be smooth(平滑)and wide, even some sacrifices(牺牲)are needed.第三篇: haste makes waste(欲速则不达)good morning, dear teacher and fellow students.it’s my great honor to stand here and share a happy morning with you.today my topic is “haste makes waste”.there is an old saying,” haste makes waste.” it is the experience of our ancestors;however, it is correct in many cases even today.如此).if you only emphasize on speed but ignore the quality of your work, your will get the opposite effect.suppose you are preparing for your final examination.there are a lot of exercises to do and many notes to memorize.but you have not enough time to do this, so it makes you feel worried.therefore, you have to read and write continuously(连续不断地), without sleep and relaxation.the result by doing this is that your brain is less and less efficient, your process is slower and on the contrary, if you do your preparations with a calculated(适合的)plan and carry out take part in the exams confidently with good preparations.so, whatever you do, please remember the saying----haste makes waste.if you understand it and apply it to your study or work, you?ll benefit a lot form it.that’s all.thank you!第四篇:so much to learn good morning, dear teachers and fellow students.it’s my great honor to stand here and share a happy morning with you.today my topic is “so much to learn.” hello!my dear friends!do you like reading books? i guess all of you will say yes.am i right? thanks to books, we have got a lot of knowledge.on the other hand, tv is another way of getting knowledge.i still remember: last year, i watched an exciting speech on tv.it was given by american president osama;i could feel his great charm.i admire him.yeah, at that time i made a decision: i try to learn english well and some day i can have a talk with him.however, it’s a pity that my english is not so perfect.what can i do? how can i do it? ah, so much to learn.don’t lose heart!just do it!i say to myself aloud.if you set up your mind to learn it, you will get much knowledge.i am sure you will achieve your goal.ok!there is so much knowledge for us to learn to.we should do our best to learn it.we must try our best to learn it as much as possible.because knowledge can make us be learned and wise;because knowledge can make our country develop very fast;because knowledge can make our world be in harmony.ok!let’s keep trying!at last, i would like to say, we shouldn’t waste time, life is limited while knowledge is that’s all.thank you for you attention.第五篇:《阿甘正传》读后感 the lines touching me most in the book is ?my momma always said life was like a box of chocolates.you never know what you are goanna got.? yes, life is full of uncertainty & puzzle.for someone, they wish to have the power to forecast future.because they can be well prepare for the opportunities and challenges and even know the lucky numbers of lottery beforehand.but for me, i don?t want to have such ?ability? at all.life is a mystery and everyone has his own way.i enjoy the surprise of receiving gift from my classmates on my birthday and running into an old friend on the street in another city, etc.there are so many amazing incidents in my life which can?t be happen if i have the power to forecast the future.i believe i can make a better life for those i love though my own effort.have a little faith for your life.let?s enjoy our life everyday with dignity, honesty, braveness and love just like forrest gump!整部电影最让我感触最深的一句话就是“生命就像一盒巧克力,结果往往出乎你的意料。”

是的,生活充满了不确定性和难题。对一些人来说,他们希望自己拥有预测未来的能力。因为他们可以为迎接机遇和挑战做足充分准备,甚至可以提前知道彩票的幸运数字。但对于我来说,我实在不希望拥有这样的“能力”。生活本就神秘莫测,每个人都有他自己的道路。生日时收到同学送来的礼物或是在另外一个城市遇到老朋友时的惊喜都让我十分地享受。在我的生活中有许多令人惊喜的小插曲,假如我有预测未来的能力,它们就都不会发生了。

对阿甘来说,他出生时有智力障碍和腿部的肌肉问题,他从没想到过自己竟然能够成为橄榄球运动员、战争英雄和百万富翁。他通过自己的努力奋斗和不屈不挠赢得了尊严和别人的尊重。

我相信我能通过自己的努力让我爱的人们过上更好的生活。
