II.Introducing the Subject and the outline of the Presentation引入话题 Background Information

I would like to start by briefly reviewing the history of open heart surgery.Let us start with the theoretical basis of this new technique.To begin with, we have to consider the principle.I think it would be best to start out by looking at a few slides.I should like to preface my remarks with a de script ion of the basic idea.May I begin with a general outline of this project? The first thing I would like to talk about is the definition of the terms I shall use in my lecture.The first point I'd like to make is the historical background of the invention.First, I shall explain to you why this new program is correct and feasible.Topic

I would like to concentrate on theproblem Of antibiotic abuse in hospitals.I shall devote my talk to the surgical treatment of coronary disease.I want to confine my talk to the latest developments in civil engineering.Today, I am going to give a talk on the application of computers in medicine.My topic today will deal with the observation of supernova.In today's talk, I' 11 restrict myself to the etiology of 15-epa~i;s.In my presentation this morning, I' 11 limit myself to three major points only.I take the liberty of restricting my discussion mainly to highway bridge construction.Now, I would like to address myself to the most important aspect of this problem.Among the many languages, I shall mention only BASIC.What I am going to present today is the methodology and the data analysis.I'm not going to say much about that except to discuss the literature on that topic.Outlining

My talk today consists of two parts.One is...and the other is...I've divided my presentation into four parts.I shall first talk about...and then touch on...and finally discuss...The subject can be looked at under the following headings:...(Pointing to the PowerPoint display)I would like to divide my talk into two parts.The first part deals with…, the second part concerns...My presentation will be given in four parts.The first part deals with...The second part relates to...The third part concerns...And the last part discusses… Purpose/Objective The purpose of this presentation is to...This talk is designed to… Comprehensive Samples Sample 1

Thank you, Mr.Chairperson, Mr.Director-General, distinguished members of the ILO's Governing Body and friends.I welcome this opportunity to be here today, with an Organization which in many ways belongs to all of us workers.I can think of, in fact, no other international body that one can claim as one's own so unambiguously.I have also had a longstanding formal association with the ILO.Many of my early pieces on women and technological change and on land rights were published by the ILO, as well as was the work of many other scholars.It is therefore a pleasure for me to be here on this important Symposium.The canvas of the Symposium is very large.I will focus on two aspects of gender inequality that centrally effect millions of women as workers but perhaps have failed to receive the attention they deserve.First, the gender gap in command over property and Productive assets and, second, gender biased social perceptions and social norms.Sample 2

I learned last May that you have to be careful in speaking to a group of professional communicators.After I conducted a writer' s workshop at the Toronto Conference of the International Association of Business Communicators, Janine Lichaczwrote asked me to speak here tonight and used the communication techniques I had recommended.She even included a footnote citing my lecture.I am susceptible to good communication and to flattery so I am pleased to be with you to discuss your topic for the evening, the use of language in the art of speech writing.I suppose we must begin by shaking our heads, woefully, over the sad state of language today, whether in formal speeches, casual conversation, or in writing.Most of us in this room no doubt agree with the generally negative tone of Time Magazine's year-end assessment which claims “our language has been besieged by vulgarities”.But to preserve our sanity as professionals in communication of us would probably join Time in optimistically expecting English somehow to survive and even to prosper.Expressions on Other Occasions Correcting the Title of the Presentation First of all, I would like to mention that the title of my presentation should be...Please allow me to correct a mistake in the title of my speech which appeared in the program.Instead of...it should read...Reading.Another Person's Paper Sometimes you are selected to read another person's paper, as he or she is absent.I shall read a paper by Dr.Li from Guangzhou, china, who regrets that he could not be here.The title of his paper is...I'm going to read the paper by Dr.Wang.It's a great pity that, because of a health problem, he could not be here.I was asked by the author to read his paper.He apologizes for not being able to come here.The next speaker, Prof.Zhang, regrets that she could not be here and has submitted her paper to me.I am not sure if I can present it as well as she expected.I am not sure whether I' 11 be able to be very confident in answering specific questions.However, I am somewhat familiar with his work, so I' 11 try my best.Checking the Microphone

First I want to check if all of you can hear me clearly.Am I speaking clearly and loudly enough for those in the rear of the room? I wonder if those in the rear of the room can hear me.If those in the rear of the room can hear me, would someone please raise his hand? Can you hear me clearly? Can you hear me if I am away from the microphone? Is the microphone working? * Summary-How to Prepare a Good Introduction

Realize file great importance of the introduction of file presentation mad then do your best in delivering it.Don' t make file introduction either too wordy, or too brief.Usually, it covers 10 to 15 percent of your entire speech.Select tile ways to capture the audience attention.Indicate tile topic.Outline your Speech.Announce your purpose.Prepare several versions of tile introduction, compare them, and then select the best version.Finally, learn it by heart so as to be able to deliver it easily mid fluently.Don't start your speech with apologies.Pay attention to your body language.Chapter II Developing the Speech Text I.Announcing the Beginning of the Speech Text To begin with, I would like to talk about a principle.I think it would be best to start out by looking at some pictures.The first thing I would like to talk about is the definition of the terms which I’11 use in my presentation.II.Shifting to the Next Main Point Well, let's move on to the next point.We will now come to the second problem.Turning to the next question, I' 11 talk about the stages of the procedure.As the second topic, I shall stop here.Now let' s turn our attention to the third topic.So much for the methodology of our experiment.I would now like to shift to the discussion of the results.Now, let's move away from the first part and switch over to the next part of my presentation.That's all for the introduction and now we can go on to the literature review.Next, I would like to turn to a more difficult problem.The next point I'd like to talk about is the feasibility of this project.That brings me to my second point.I am glad that we can now leave this rather boring subject of mathematic deduction and go into a more attractive one, that is the application of the formula.III.Resuming the Topic

Let' s come back to what I said in the first part of my speech.Getting back to the subject of the problem of theoretical considerations we can find that...I want to return to the first part of my presentation.Now, to get back to the effect of temperature, you may be aware that the problems have been solved.This brings me back to the question of security.At this point I would like to refer again to the question of methods in the first part of my lecture.Referring again to the first question, I think...Referring to the Coming Point I'll deal with it later.I' 11 touch upon that point in a moment.I shall tell you in detail shortly.IV.Introducing the Supporting Materials

I think this part is the most difficult, so I'll explain it in greater detail.I think this part of my paper is most important, so I plan to spend more time on it.Please allow me to deal with this matter more extensively.Being the most important part of my presentation, I will elaborate on it with more slides.I' 11 expand this topic with drawings and figures.Indicating the Points Briefly Limited by the time available, I can only give you a very brief account of this matter.I don't think that I should describe the methods in detail, because they are included in the handout.I will not go into detail on it.This point has been talked about repeatedly in this symposium, so I am not going to spend too much time on it.Let's go through the following points very rapidly.I just want to outline for you what I experienced in using this new drug.I shall not go over all these explanations.My time is running short.So I'’11 be brief.It is sufficient to say that these experiments were poorly designed and without controls.V.Repairing a Slip of Tone

The first of such experiments began in 2000, rather than 1999.May I have the lights, I mean the slides.The temperature increased, I shall say decreased.The population is 13 million, sorry, 31 million.The exchange rate dropped from 2.5 to 1.8, I beg your pardon, 1.9.As you can see from the first row, excuse me, the second row, that the output increased two fold.VI.Expressions Concerning Audio-Visual Aids

Could we have the lights off? And the first slide, please.Lights off, first slide, please.Dim the lights, and first slide, please.The slide is not so clear.Please darken the room a little more.Could you please turn on the lights, please? Now, we can have the lights on.Please switch on the lights.Lights on, please.I apologize that this slide is not so clear, but I hope you can still make out the general idea.Sorry for the small print.I'm sorry we left a figure out here.VI.Explaining the Contents on the Slides This slide demonstrates...On this slide, you can see...This curve in this slide shows...This figure in this slide exhibits...This table on this slide presents...This diagram on this slide depicts...This chart on this slide displaces...The picture on this slide shows...The photomicrograph on this slide shows...The flow-chart on this slide points out...The circuit diagram on this slide represents~...~ Indicating the Sources of the Content in a This figure is taken from.., by Dr.Li.This diagram is after that of Prof.Wang with some modification VII.Demanding to Show the Next Slide May I proceed to the next slide, please?

第二篇：教你如何英语演讲（最终版）

教你如何英语演讲善用空间的演讲

所谓空间就是指进行演说的场所范围、演讲者所在之处以及与听众间的距离等等。演说者所在之处以位居听众注意力容易汇集的地方最为理想。例如开会的时候、主席多半位居会议桌的上方、因为该处正是最容易汇集出席者注意力的地方。反之，如果主席位居会议桌之正中央，则会议的进行情况会变如何呢？恐怕会使出席者注意力散漫了，且有会议冗长不休的感觉？因此，让自己位居听众注意力容易汇集之处，不但能够提升听众对于演讲的关注，甚至具有增强演说者信赖度权威感的效果。演讲应注意的几个问题

2．1 演讲时的姿势

演说时的姿势（posture）也会带给听众某种印象，例如堂堂正正的印象或者畏畏缩缩的印象。虽然个人的性格与平日的习惯对此影响颇巨，不过一般而言仍有方便演讲的姿势，即所谓“轻松的姿势”。要让身体放松，反过来说就是不要过度紧张。过度的紧张不但会表现出笨拙僵硬的姿势，而且对于舌头的动作也会造成不良的影响。

诀窍之一是张开双脚与肩同宽，挺稳整个身躯。另一个诀窍是想办法扩散并减轻施加在身体上的紧张情绪。例如将一只手稍微插入口袋中，或者手触桌边、或者手握麦克风等等。

2．2 演讲时的视线

在大众面前说话，亦即表示必须忍受众目睽睽的注视。当然，并非每位听众都会对你报以善意的眼光。尽管如此，你还是不可以漠视听众的眼光，避开听众的视线来说话。尤其当你走到麦克风旁边站立在大众面前的那一瞬间，来自听众的视线有时甚至会让你觉得刺痛。

克服这股视线压力的秘诀，就是一面进行演讲；一面从听众当中找寻对于自己投以善意而温柔眼光的人。并且无视于那些冷淡的眼光。此外，把自己的视线投向强烈“点头”以示首肯的人，对巩固信心来进行演说也具有效果。

2．3演讲时的脸部表情

演讲时的脸部表情无论好坏都会带给听众极其深刻的印象。紧张、疲劳、喜悦、焦虑、等情绪无不清楚地表露在脸上，这是很难藉由本人的意志来加以控制的。演讲的内容即使再精彩，如果表情总觉缺乏自信，老是畏畏缩缩，演讲就很容易变得欠缺说服力。

控制脸部的方法，首先“不可垂头”。人一旦“垂头”就会予人“丧气”之感，而且若视线不能与听众接触，就难以吸引听众的注意。另一个方法是“缓慢说话”。说话速度一旦缓慢，情绪即可稳定，脸部表情也得以放松,再者，全身上下也能够为之泰然自若起来。

2．4 有关服饰和发型

服装也会带给观众各种印象。尤其是东方男性总是喜欢穿着灰色或者蓝色系列的服装，难免给人过于刻板无趣印象。轻松的场合不妨穿着稍微花俏一点的服装来参加。不过如果是正式的场合，一般来说仍以深色西服、男士无尾晚宴服、以及燕尾服为宜。其次，发型也可塑造出各种形象来。长发和光头各自蕴含其强烈的形象，而鬓角的长短也被认为是个人喜好的表征。站出来演讲之际，你的服装、究竟带给对方何种印象？希望各位好好地思量一番。

2．5 声音和腔调

声音和腔调乃是与生俱来的，不可能一朝一夕之间有所改善。不过音质与措词对于整个演说影响颇巨，这倒是事实。根据某项研究报告指出声音低沉的男性比声音高亢的男性，其信赖度较高。因为声音低沉会让人有种威严沉着的感觉。尽管如此，各位还是不可能马上就改变自己的声音。总之，重要的是让自己的声音清楚地传达给听众。即使是音质不好的人，如果能够禀持自己的主张与信念的话，依旧可以吸引听众的热切关注。

说话的速度也是演讲的要素。为了营造沉着的气氛，说话稍微慢点是很重要。标准大致为5分钟三张左右的A4原稿，不过，此地要注意的是，倘若从头至尾一直以相同的速度来进行，听众会睡觉的。

3英文演讲和中文演讲的区别

我们的社会政治情况与国外不太一样。美国人从小学开始就要竞选这个、竞选那个，比如俱乐部经理、学生会主席，跟政治竞选差不多，所以他们的讲演发达，在讲演培训方面也开展得比较好。在西方国家，特别是英语国家更加重视演讲。中国在这方面滞后了一点儿，但是现在讲演的风气开始兴盛，这很是令人喜悦。随着我们对外经贸、外交关系的拓展，学英语讲英语的形势更加喜人。

那么，英文演讲和中文演讲相比有哪些区别呢？实际上一样，关键在于了解演讲对象，减少冗余信息。中文演讲和英文演讲实际上是一样的，关键是看你演讲的对象。不管是用中文还是用英文演讲，首先你要对自己的听众要有一个很好的了解。在国外讲演，讲演超过半个小时，你就要考虑这个时间是不是快到了，绝不要超过50分钟。而且应该留出一半以上的时间让听众来提问题。在中国情况就有所不同，实际上现在中国人也愿意听短话，特别是没有什么信息量的套话说法。在讲演当中，语言文字的运用很重要。第一，语言表达纯熟清晰。第二，以对方习惯的方式、喜欢的方式来讲。第三，要有内容。当听众通过赞扬英文的办法来赞扬你时，例如观众对你说Articulate，这是表示你讲得非常清晰，你听到这样的评语之后，实际上就说明你的内容已经打动了人。

适应听众思维习惯，在讲演一定要注意观众的反映。我的讲话就是半个小时，必要的时候缩短20分钟。我看大家睁着眼睛很安安静静的在听，我就多讲几句。讲话不要长，讲20分钟就可以打住了，然后让人家提问题，这个10分钟是有效的10分钟，你可以根据他们提的问题，不完全是切中这个问题放大放开讲。学习英语也没有什么捷径可走。

一是慢慢积累，不要放弃。基础一定要打好，特别是语法的基础。在学校学的时间不长，但是基础必须非常稳固。光介词的练习就需要知道几百几千，冠词的练习，什么时候用THE，什么时候不用，这些基础都非常牢固。

二是多看、多读、多模仿。英语开始就是模仿，注意外国人的表达方法。另一方面要非常注意阅读。像《新闻周刊》、《时代》等等，而且是越看不明白的东西越看。

三是要记录。写有用的短语、词句，要把它记下来，而且要注意比较外国人和中国不同的表达法。举个例子，中国人讲话的时候，谢谢大家对我的热烈欢迎，很平实的。英语国家的人讲这么一句话，“Thank you for the warm hospitality that makes me feel so welcome。”意思就是“谢谢你们的好客，这个好客使我感觉到自己如此受欢迎”。假如你没有看过英文、听过英文，你绝对不能想到这么表达。所以你就要学，就要听。我们不能说我学的时候学了，自己讲得时候还照中文讲，不能这样，要用英文来思维，越是觉得有点怪怪的，越是要学的。

第三篇：教你做好职场英语演讲

话筒的使用看似是小事一桩，但如果使用不当，也可能会让你在台上尴尬不已。下面就教您如何使用好话筒。

How to use the microphone

如何使用话筒

You must speak up and project your voice even if you are using a microphone;

即使是用话筒，也要声音响亮并运气发声；

Your voice should be resonant and sustained when you speak;

声音要有回声并能稍持续一阵儿；

pitch your voice slightly lower than normal.Listeners tend to associate credibility and authority with a relatively deep voice;

音调要定得比正常讲话时低一些，听众往往把可信度与权威性与一个相对低沉的声音联系在一起；

Try to end declarative sentences on a low tone without, however, trailing off in volume;

尽量用降调结束陈述句，但不要减弱音量；

Slow down.放慢语速。

第四篇：教你如何做一个好妈妈[定稿]

教育你如何做一个好妈妈

孩子的素质源于家长。家长朝夕与孩子相处，言行举止无时无刻不在影响着孩子。俗话说：“龙生龙，凤生凤，老鼠生来会打洞。”说的就是遗传和后天的言传身教。因此，在与其他人相处的时候，应有意识地控制自己容易激动的情绪；在与孩子相处的时候，也尽量不让自己过于激动。因为这些，都会影响到孩子的说话语气。自己制造了垃圾，从不会随手扔在路上。遇到自己喜欢吃的饭菜，我们要求孩子必须要和我们一起分享，而不是吃独食。打扰了人家，或别人帮忙了，要说声谢谢„„凡是我们能注意到的事情，都尽量自己带头做好。孩子的眼睛是明亮的！如果我们对她的要求自己都不能做到，没过几天，她铁定跟我们一样。家长难啊，时刻都得在心里按一个警钟，就怕一不小心误了孩子。陪着孩子，学会玩耍 孩子的童年不能没有玩乐。可身处城市里的孩子因为独生子、因为套房、因为父母工作等原因，无法和乡野的孩子一样，自由地享受着儿时的快乐。玩是最好的老师，它能带领着孩子走进自然，亲近自然；它能让孩子在玩中慢慢熟悉世界的规则，以一个儿童的视野亲近这个社会；它能教会孩子如何和同伴友好相处，共同分享生活的点滴快乐„„我们经常带孩子出去玩，山里，水边，或约她的朋友，或一家三口，在与同伴玩耍的过程中，孩子慢慢地成长着，她不再乱发脾气，不再独自一人乱生气，她变得更加地合群，也更加地快乐。孩子需要这样的锻炼过程！这个社会需要的沟通能力、合作能力，个人需要的审美情趣、兴趣爱好等，都能在玩中慢慢积累。为了带孩子出去玩，我们放弃了很多属于自己的时间。不把“学习苦累”挂在嘴边 时下不少家长总说孩子学习辛苦，做了一点作业，就说孩子苦，读了一点书，也说孩子苦，更不用说放学回家了。其实，真正喜欢做一件事是不会觉得苦的。如果家长总是把这“苦”字挂在嘴边，久而久之，必然会成为孩子的潜意识。到了初中，这种潜意识会突然凸显出来。我从不认为学习苦。少年求学时代，做出一道难题，背下一篇文言文，看了一本课外书，知道一些生活赏识，心中便溢满了小小的得意。如若此时有人给予我一些肯定，那份快乐便变得如天一般广阔。因此，我常常在孩子独立思考之后，肯定孩子的思考价值；在孩子告诉我一些生活小窍门时，欣喜地抱住孩子„„我要让孩子明白并牢记：学习是一件非常快乐的事，无论学到哪方面的知识，都会成为她的本领。有时，家长的溺爱会成为孩子前进的绊脚石，为何不学着放下一颗关怀备至的爱心，让孩子更健康、更快乐地成长呢？ 学会把事情放手交给孩子 孩子的能力不是在家长呵护的手掌上形成的。我们有时需要闭上如影相随的眼睛，放下效率优先麻烦不要的思想，给孩子一个锻炼的空间。我家孩子七周岁未到，却能帮我做很多家务。几天前，因我手划伤，孩子心疼得不得了，直问我：“妈妈，有什么忙需要我帮的吗？”我说了一个“不”字后马上后悔了，我看到孩子黯淡的眼神和颓丧的心情。她愤愤地说：“那我以后什么忙都不帮你了！”这时，我赶紧纠正：“不是这样，妈妈担心你累着。”孩子这才开心起来，又积极地要帮我忙了。那天中午，孩子独自一人，洗干净了碗筷，刷干净了铁锅，抹干净了饭桌。当她扬起骄傲的小脸蛋时，我的心被满满的幸福填满了！所以，当我听到有些家长说：“我的孩子什么事情都不干„„我只要求他认真读书„„他怎么这么不争气„„”每每听到这些话，我总是替那个孩子心疼，当初，他肯定也跟我家孩子一样，充满期待地想要做家里的小主人，想要以自己的双手赢得父母的赞许，享受劳动的喜悦与成就。可惜，他的父母剥夺了他劳动的权利和最初的成就感，使他变得极为懒惰，而这种惰性慢慢地渗透进他的学习、工作上，最终使他成为一个惰性很强的少年。

批评和表扬并重，惩罚和鼓励并存 我们也不是一开始就鼓励孩子的。刚开始教育孩子的时候，我特着急，很容易把事情夸大，加上其他因素，结果导致孩子在很多方面对自己的评价偏低。意识到这点之后，我开始注意鼓励孩子，放大她的优点，缩小她的缺点。不过孩子毕竟是孩子，她在很多方面都处于发展阶段，必然会出现诸多问题。而有些问题如果不解决好，很可能会影响其综合发展。比如，写字问题。对于我的孩子来说，这是一个老问题。有一次，她的作业做得很不干净，字也写得不好。平时鼓励也罢，提醒也罢，始终无法使她认真写字。于是，借着老师批评的东风，我在家狠狠批评了她，并且给予了一定的处罚。当她写得好时，又及时给予肯定和鼓励。虽然字的问题依旧存在，且经常反复，不过比起最差的那会来说，毕竟有些进步了。我相信，只要我们能坚持，孩子的这个问题是能得到一定程度的改善，甚至完全改变的。单纯的鼓励和表扬会使孩子飘飘然，再也无法正视自己的缺点和错误，同样，单纯的批评和惩罚也只能使孩子丧失自信，从而走向另一个极端。只有两者并重，才能在教育的天平上找到相对平衡的点。跟着孩子一起坚持 人不是生来就有毅力的，他需要后天不断地培养。毅力不可能一蹴而就。不少家长为孩子报了各种各样的兴趣班，无论多少，极少有能坚持下来的。很多人认为这个与学习无关，放弃就放弃了。其实不然。生活中的每一件事都有可能影响孩子意志力的形成。我家孩子在音乐方面有些特长，小时侯一听到音乐，小手小脚马上就开始舞动。在她6岁那年，她开始系统地学习舞蹈。一年后，有些小朋友不学了，她也想不学，然后就以各种各样的理由，拖延上课的时间，能不去则不去。这事我也曾心动过，老实说，每周接送，确实非常麻烦，时间被割裂成一段一段的，很多事情没法做。但一想到这样可能会影响孩子在其他方面的恒心时，我就不再犹豫，坚持次次接送，反复做孩子思想工作。从那时到现在为止，孩子很少再说放弃的话，包括她在学习上遇到难题。答应孩子的事不可食言 孩子每次提出的小小的要求，可能就是她心里想了很久的愿望。幼儿园时，曾答应孩子给她买贴贴纸，结果忘记了。孩子当时气极了，哭着对我说：“妈妈说话不算数。”听到这话，我尝试过解释，结果，越解释越糟糕。孩子甚至说，再也不相信妈妈的话了。这事可严重了。我马上向她道歉，并且跟她说好，我会努力记得答应她的事情。万一忘记了，她也要记得提醒我。以后，无论事大事小，凡是答应孩子的事，无论出现什么状况，都会尽量办到。我不想失信于孩子，更不希望给孩子留下一个妈妈说话不算数的坏印象，以致将来无法教育孩子。生命教育重于一切 无论在什么时候，孩子的生命健康及安全始终是第一位的。孩子年幼，无知的地方太多了。这个社会不是安全岛，各种各样的安全问题可能会在我们不经意间闯进孩子的生活。有一次，我接孩子回家，到车库门前，孩子先下了车。我叫孩子在旁边远点的地方等我。正准备倒车，不经意间看了一眼，想知道孩子站在哪儿，结果发现孩子没在旁边。叫了她几声之后，车后传来了她的声音。当时吓出了一身冷汗。孩子的安全问题真该时刻拉响警钟。写到此，心中依旧后怕。安全问题太重要了：过马路，遇到车辆，尽可能往旁边靠，不要着急，不要疾跑；坚决不闯红灯，即便路上没有一辆汽车；不可以伤害自己，人只有一辈子„

第五篇：精彩的大学英语演讲

大学生英语演讲稿I believe in our future Honorable Judges, fellow students:

Recently, ther is a heated debate in our society.The college students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education at extraordinary places.But will we be able to face the challenge and support ourselves against all odds? Will we be able to better the lives of others? Will we be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of our country?

The cynics say the college students are the pampered lost generation, which would cringe at the slightest discomfort.But the cynics are wrong.The college students I see are eagerly learning about how to live 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： 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

This is a glass of water, tasteless, right? However if you add sugar, it will taste sweet, but if you add vinegar, it will become bitter.The same is true with our life the flavor is created by our choices.If kindness is added to a strange you will have a friend;but if hostility is added, you will have an enemy.If love is added to a pile of red bricks you will have a home, but if hatred is add to those bricks , you will have an concentration camp.So my dear friends, never complain that life is boring and the world is disappointing.If don‘t like the taste of your life, change the ingredients.Three year ago, I weighed more than 100 hundred kilograms which caused significant embarrassment and frustration in my life.Like always failing my P.E examinations, like always being laughed at by girls, like being terrified to speak in public.It was my grandmother‘s encouragement that revived from my passive attitude to become confident in myself.She said ― My dear, if you can‘t change you figure, why not treat it as your own style.So I began to cautiously employ the new way of thinking.By choosing to change my outlook on life, I developed the confidence to make a difference and finally I found a totally new world.So my dear friend, if faith, hope, love, endurance are added to your life, you will find the confidence to conquer your limitation and embrace new challenges.And hopefully with my speech included, you will have a fantastic speech contest.改变生活的味道

这是一杯白开水，平淡无味，对吧？可是加上点糖呢，他尝起来会有甜味；如果加的是苏打水，味道就会变苦。人生同样如此——个中滋味在于我们的选择。

善待他人，你会拥有朋友；但如果充满恶意，则会多个敌人。将爱赋予一堆红砖，你会拥有一个家；用仇恨来浇铸这堆红砖，就会铸成一座集中营。

因此亲爱的朋友们，不要抱怨人生乏味，世间无望。不喜欢生活的味道，那就换一换生活的调料吧！

三年前，我重达100多公斤，这给我带来了很多尴尬和挫折：体育课老是不及格，总被女孩们嘲笑，更不敢当众发表意见。幸而由于祖母的鼓励，我不在消极人生，而是充满自信。她曾经说过：―孩子，如果体形无法改变，为什么不把它看做自己独特的风格呢？‖ 我开始这样来审视人生，通过改变生活的视角，我信心大增地去改变我的人生，很快就发现一个崭新的世界。

朋友们，将信念，希望，爱意和忍性溶入生命，你就会找到自信，克服缺点，迎接人生新的挑战。最后我的演讲包括在内，希望你会看到一场精彩的演讲比赛。

大学生英语演讲稿16 The East and the West, Let‘s enjoy the combination of the two cultures?

Kipling said:―East is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet!‖ But now, a century later, they have met.They have met in business.They have met in education.They have met in the arts.Some people will argue that these meetings will leave us with a choice between east and west, but I believe that the best future lies in the creative combination of both worlds.We can make western ideas, customs and technology our own, and adapt them to our own use.We can enjoy the best of both worlds, because our tradition is, above all, one of selecting the best and making it our own.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 have combined eastern melody with western language.It is called western henna opera.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.爱思英语学习网

爱思英语http://www.xiexiebang.com/

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!

十五、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.爱思英语学习网

爱思英语http://www.xiexiebang.com/

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.I once heard one of my roommates who was an introverted girl sobbing at mid-night.Being afraid of disturbing her, I sent a text message to comfort her.The next day, she told me that she was crying for not being invited to one of her friend‘s birthday party.She thought she was neglected by others.But my message was really comforting which told her someone still cared about her.What can we do to prevent the tragedy of Ma JiaJue from happening again? Some people may say ‗Let‘s open more psychological courses in schools.‘ and other people may say ‗Let‘s donate more money for the poor students.‘ But I‘ll say ―My fellow student, let‘s give more love and care to our roommates, our classmates and every person around us!‖

走出冷漠

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

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

有人说：像马加爵那样有心理问题的人需要的不是关心而是心理治疗。但在一个人生病的时候，除了医生的治疗，他需要的还有周围人的关心。一个微笑，一声问候都能为他们的生活带来阳光。

有一天半夜，我碰巧听见寝室里一个平时很内向的女孩在轻声抽泣。为了不惊动她，我给她发了一条短信来安慰她。第二天，他告诉我那晚她哭了是因为她的一位好朋友开生日聚会没有请她参加，她觉得自己被大家所忽视了。但我对短信却给了她很大安慰，让她觉得还是有人惦记着她的。

如何才能阻止马加爵的悲剧重演呢？有人呼吁应该在学校开设更多的心理辅导课程，有人建议应该给贫困学生更多的捐助，而我要说的是：同学们，让我们把更多的关爱带给我们的舍友，同学和身边的每一个人！

大学生英语演讲稿14 I Am Tripping My Elephant Here

Once upon a time, a weenie ant was walking on his way.As he was walking, suddenly he felt the ground shaking terribly.He looked around with his paranoid eyes and saw an elephant walking right behind him.Quickly, the little ant covered himself with dirt, but one leg was unfortunately left out.A sparrow saw everything, so she flew down with the purpose of teasing the ant: ―Hey, chicken!Watch out your leg, it‘s out!‖ The ant felt embarrassed at first but then calmly responded: ― Shi…I am going to trip that elephant.‖

From all that I‘ve been through I‘ve learned that a good future is based on a forgotten past, if I want my life to go on well I have to let go of my past failure.So today, with out fear, I am tripping my elephant again.我又一次在绊大象

从前，一只小蚂蚁在路上走着，走着走着，忽然感觉到地在颤动，回头一看是一只大象正朝他走来。于是他很快用土盖住身体，不幸一只脚忘在了外面。一只麻雀看到了一切，她飞下来想要取笑一下这只蚂蚁，说：―咳，胆小鬼，小心你的脚，露出来了！‖ 蚂蚁开始有些尴尬，但一会不紧不慢地告诉麻雀说：―小声点，我要在绊那只大象。‖

：一个好的将来是建立在忘掉过去的基础上的，直到真正忘记过去的失败生活才会变的美好。今天，我没有惧怕，又一次站到了大象的面前。大学生英语演讲稿13 Hold Fast To Your Dreams

made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.Wow, what a dream it has been for Martin Luther King.But the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up, and sometimes I personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.However, we meed dreams.They nourish our spirit;they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality.They keep us going.Most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great.When we were little kids, we all dreamed of doing something big and splashy, something significant.Now what we need to do is to maintain them, refresh them and turn them into reality.However, the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how to translate these dreams into actions.Well, just start with concrete objectives and stick to it.Don‘t let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong belief of future.Through our talents, through our wits, through our endurance and through our creativity, we will make it.Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow.So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams.Whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today.抓牢你的梦想

我今天有一个梦想。

我梦想有一天，幽谷上升，高山下降，崎岖之地变平原，曲折之路成坦途。圣光展露，满照人间。

这对马丁路德金是怎样的一个梦想啊。不过这个变化着的世界似乎在告诉我，在成长的过程中，人们却不知不觉把他们的梦想弄丢了，而我自己也有时会觉得在告别很多童年的梦。

然而，我们是需要梦想的。梦想滋养我们的灵魂，梦想代表着我们被现实拉垮时依然具有的希望。它鼓励我们不断前进。大多数成功人士都是梦想家，同时也是普通人，只是他们敢于梦想敢于成就伟大。当我们还是孩子的时候，我们都梦想过做一番大事业，现在应爱思英语学习网

当做的就是保存好那些梦想，再度恢复它们，并将它们实现。不过最难的是我们通常不知道怎样付诸实施。那么，就从最具体的目标开始，坚持去做吧。不要让那些莫名的恐惧迷惑了我们的双眼，影响了我们对未来的信念。用我们的天资和智慧，用我们的耐力和创造力，我们一定会实现梦想。

抓牢你的梦想，因为如果梦想死亡，生活就成了一只折断翅膀的鸟再也不能飞翔。抓牢你的梦想，因为如果失去梦想，生命就成了一块覆盖着冰雪的贫瘠的冻土。亲爱的朋友们，想想那些过去的或已经死去的梦想吧。不管是什么，重新将它捡起，并从今天开始让它重生。

大学生英语演讲稿12 Make Every Moment Count

One night, I complained to my mom about the lack of time.Finally she said,＂you are short of time just because you waste precious minutes on complaints and anxiety.The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard, you can always fit in some thing more.＂

It is the same with filling the jar.Even if you place a dozen fist-sized rocks and a bucket of gravel into the jar, there is still space for sand and water between the rocks and gravel.The lack of time is just the excuse for my negligence of every single minute.I believe that the great dividing line between success and failure can be expressed in six words,＂I did not have enough time.＂The fact is I do have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.The point is I have never touched upon the real meaning of life which lies in snatching, seizing and enjoying every minute of it.No idleness, no delay, no procrastination, no complaint!It is during my moments of complaining or hesitation that my destiny is shaped.Once I make full use of every moment, I believe that, my worries will be gradually cut down to nothing.Time is the most valuable of all our possessions, but the most perishable as well.As Henry David Thoreau said,＂You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.＂

Whenever I fell the lack of time in the future, I will tell myself ＂Carpe diem , seize the day, make every moment count.＂

抓住每分每秒

有天晚上，我向妈妈抱怨自己事情太多，时间不够。她说道：―你抱怨没有时间就是因为你把珍贵的分分秒秒都浪费在抱怨和焦虑上。关键是，无论你的时间表排得多满，如果你真的努力尝试了，你还是总能间插地做些事情。‖

这同填充广口瓶是一个道理，即使你将一小堆拳头大小的石块和一桶碎石倒进瓶里，也还能继续倒入沙子和水，使其漏进石块的间隙中去。

―没时间‖无异于我为自己浪费分分秒秒找的托词罢了。我相信成功与失败的一线之差可以用六个字来形容：―我没足够时间。‖ 然而事实上，我却与海伦．凯勒，帕斯特，杰弗逊和爱因斯坦每天所拥有的时间分秒不差。关键是我并未触及生命的真谛：抓住，享受生命的每一分钟。不要碌碌无为，不要耽搁推迟，不要牢骚抱怨！往往是在我抱怨和迟疑的时候，我的命运就被决定了。而一旦我能善用分分秒秒，我相信我的烦恼也会被逐渐瓦解。

在我们所拥有的财富中，时间是最珍贵而又最不持久的。正如梭罗所说的那样：―你得抓住现在，把握机会，在短暂的瞬间中寻找永恒。‖

如果将来我再发觉没时间的时候，我会告诫自己，―carpe diem(拉丁语)，抓住今天，抓住每分每秒。‖

Leo Tolstoy once said, everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.He is right.We always have great plans and dreams in our minds… too ready to achieve something grand that changes the world or benefits all of mankind.For example;we hate pollution and have made up our minds to find new energy sources that keep the environment clean.Yet we still litter on the ground.We complain about traffic jams, so we plan to build more highways to solve the problem, but it never occurs to us that our failure to follow traffic regulations is the leading cause of this situation.We are so concerned that the violence in the media has a bad impact on our children, we urge the government to set laws to protect them.But, do we, as adults, set a good example for our kids? We use nasty words and even spit on the ground in front of them, I dare to say, we harm more!

In my opinion, before we decide to change the world, we had better change ourselves first.As ordinary individuals, we do not have the power to change the world.But we can change our habit of littering, spitting, cussing, we can respect the environment around us, we must act as good models for our kids.If each of us does all of these little things, all of us, millions and millions of individuals together, together we will be strong …strong enough to change our world!

So please, the next time you do something, think how your actions influence not only you, but those around you too, especially our children …and perhaps more importantly…our planet!

改变

列夫·托尔斯泰曾说过：每个人都想改变这个世界，但是没有人想到改变自己。

他说的很有道理，我们每个人都心怀伟大时志向，时刻准备去干一番能造福全人类的大事业。比如，我们痛恨环境污染，所以我们下定决心去开发新的更高效更干净的能源来保护我们的环境，但是同时我们却随手乱扔垃圾；我们抱怨大城市的交通堵塞，计划造更多的高速路来解决交通问题，但是我们从来没有想过，如果我们能遵守交通规则话，那么这一问题是不是可以得到很大得缓解呢？我们担心电视电影里面得暴力会对我们得孩子产生不良的影响，于是我们敦促政府通过立法来保护未成年人，但是我们这些大人又做得怎么样呢？我们为我们的下一代做好了表率吗？我们说粗话，甚至在孩子面前抽烟。不客气地说，我们对孩子的不良影响更多！

在我看来，在我们打算改变这个世界之前，我们最好先改变一下自己。作为一个普通人，我们其实没有改变这个世界的能力，但是我可以改变我们随地扔垃圾，随地吐痰的坏习惯，我们应该学会去保护环境，我们应该为我们的孩子起好的表率作用。

如果我们每个人都能从小事起，那么千千万万个人力量汇聚在一起，那力量是强大的，足以改变这个世界。

朋友，当您在做某一件事情的时候，请您想一想，您的行为会对您周围的人产生怎样的影响，因为，您的行为不单单影响到您自己，还有您周围的人，更重要的是我们的孩子…甚至我们的世界。

大学成人组半决赛英语演讲稿 No One Can Be Perfect

爱思英语学习网

爱思英语http://www.xiexiebang.com/

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.Today I want to tell you a story about one of my friends, a lovely and smart girl who is always ready to help others.Being our grade leader, she is good at both work and study.In many people's opinion, she is excellent and perfect.But one day she told me she was gloomy and insecure.People around her considered her outstanding and flawless, thinking she could handle everything.But the more she thought about herself, the more disappointed she became.She found that she was far from perfection.Last week, she didn‘t do well in her French quiz, and the day before yesterday, she was late for a conference.She felt depressed and frustrated, because she failed to be a perfect girl without any mistakes.I was surprised to hear that for I thought she had every reason to be confident.However, the expectation of perfection has become a burden to her.I told her no one could be perfect and I suggested she find her own position.In fact, people are so eager to be perfect that they demand too much of themselves.They want to be special and unique, and they want to have no defects or weaknesses.However, we can never avoid mistakes and errors.It‘s impossible for us to be a superman or a superwoman.No matter how successful we are, there are always some flaws.If we hold that everything should be perfect, we would be overcritical.My friend now has changed her attitude.She accepts her shortcomings but still keeps a positive outlook.She is even more active and doesn‘t allow the mistakes to hinder her pursuit of excellence.And I think that‘s the way we should be！That‘s all.Thank you!

没有人可以完美无缺

女士们、先生们，大家早上好！今天我想给大家讲一个我朋友的故事。她是一个聪明可爱、乐于助人的女孩。作为我们的年级长，她无论工作还是学习都很出色。在很多人眼里，她是如此优秀，近乎完美了。但有一天她却告诉我，她很迷惘和自卑：周围的人都认为她很优秀，完美无缺，可以对付任何事情；而她想得越多对自己就越是失望。她发觉自己远不够完美。上周她的法语测验考得不理想；前天，一个会议她又迟到了：很多事情做的不尽完美，这让她很是灰心丧气。

听到这些的时候我很惊讶，我原以为她有充分的理由对自己充满信心。然而，对完美的期望却变成了她的负担。我告诉她，没有人可以完美无缺的，她应该找到自己真正的位置。

爱思英语http://www.xiexiebang.com/

实际上，人们有时过于追求完美而且期望的太多了。我们想要特别，想要独一无二；又想要没有缺点没有弱点。可是，人是无法避免错误的,有谁能成为超人呢？无论你多么成功，总是有一些事情不够完美。如果我们坚持要完美无缺，那只能是一种求全责备。

我的朋友现在已经改变了她的态度。她承认自己的不完美，但是保持着乐观的心态。她没有停止追求，反而变得更为积极。我想这正是我们应该有的态度。

四、Never Give Up

―If I could reach higher, just for one moment to touch the sky…‖---this is from my favorite song Reach.When we are appreciating the passionate melody of Gloria Estefan, we could hardly imagine that she could return to the stage after her paralysis.In the year 1990, this Cuban singer was knocked down in a traffic accident, and the doctor declared that she might never walk again.But Gloria did not give up and kept up constant exercising.Just one year after the disaster, she stood up again and presented this encouraging song at the Atlanta Olympics.Whenever I think of Gloria, I can‘t help recalling my memory seven years ago, when I first entered university.Naturally shy, ordinary looking, average scores in study, just like an ugly duckling, I seemed to be the least outstanding one in my class.And the successive failures in the beginning led me into despair.―Am I destined to take the back seat to others?‖ Unwilling to submit to the fate, I paid more efforts on my study as well as many other activities, film dubbing, recital, drama… cause I just want to catch every little opportunity to prove myself.Constant effort yields sure success.Thanks to the competition, I received some awards and most of all, I gained the courage and confidence to face any difficulties in my life journey.Life is just like farming, and what you can reap depends a lot on your sowing and dedication.Once you have a dream, don‘t be hesitant.Your next difficult step may be the one to the top.Keep going forward, even in the toughest time, and never give up.永不放弃

―如果我能到达更高的地方，哪怕只有碰触天空的一刹那…‖---选自我所喜爱的歌曲《到达》。

当我们在欣赏葛罗莉亚·伊斯特芬那充满激情的旋律，我们很难想象她能从瘫痪中回到舞台。1990年这个古巴歌手遭遇车祸，医生说她可能再也没办法走路了。可是葛罗莉亚并没有放弃希望，坚持做恢复训练。在灾难后仅仅一年，她又站起来了，并且在亚特兰大奥运会上唱响了这首鼓舞人心的歌曲。

每当我想起葛罗莉亚的时候，我禁不住回忆起七年前我刚进入大学的时候。天性害羞，相貌平平，成绩一般，就像一只丑小鸭，我是班上最不起眼的一个。而且在刚开学时一连串的失败让我陷入绝望。―难道我注定要给别人当配角吗？‖ 不愿意向这个命运屈服，我更加努力的学习并且参加许多其他的活动，电影配音、朗诵、戏剧…因为我想抓住任何一个微小的机会来证实我自己。不懈的努力终会带来成功。我从竞赛中获得了一些奖励，最重要的是，我从中得到了面对人生一切困难的勇气和决心。

生活就像是耕耘，一份耕耘一份收获。一旦你有了梦想，不要犹豫。你艰难的下一步也许就是通往成功的阶梯。即使在最困难的时候也要勇往直前，决不放弃。大学生英语演讲稿3 The Importance of Keeping Optimistic

Honourable judges, ladies and gentlemen,Good afternoon!Today I would like to talk about the importance of keeping opti

mistic.When we encounter difficulties in life, we notice that some of us choose to bury their heads in the sand.Unfortunately, however, this attitude will do you no good, because if you will have no courage even to face them, how can you conquer them? Thus, be optimistic, ladies and gentlemen, as it can give you confidence and help you see yourself through the hard times, just as Winston Churchill once said, ―An optimist sees an opportunity in every calamity;a pessimist sees a calamity in every opportunity.‖

Ladies and Gentlemen, keeping optimistic, you will be able to realize, in spite of some hardship, there‘s always hope waiting for you, which will lead you to the ultimate success.Historically as well as currently, there are too many optimists of this kind to enumerate.You see, Thomas Edison is optimistic;if not, the light of hope in his heart could not illuminate the whole world.Alfred Nobel is optimistic;if not, the explosives and the prestigious Nobel Prize would not have come into being.And Lance Armstrong is also optimistic;if not, the devil of cancer would have devoured his life and the world would not see a 5-time winner of the Tour De France.A rose may be beautiful, or maybe not;that depends on your attitude only, and so does success, so does life.Hindrances and difficulties do exist, but if you are optimistic,爱思英语学习网

then they are only episodes on your long way to the throne of success;they are more bridges than obstacles!Now I prefer to end my speech with the great British poet Shelley‘s lines: ―If winter comes, can spring be far behind?‖ Thank you!

保持乐观的重要性

尊敬的评委、女士们、先生们：

下午好！今天我想谈一谈保持乐观的重要性。我们注意到，当在生活中遇到困难时，我们中的有些人选择逃避它们。但令人遗憾的是，这样的态度对你没有任何好处，因为如果你连面对它们的勇气都没有的话，你怎么去征服它们呢？因此，乐观起来吧，女士们、先生们，因为它会带给你信心，帮助你渡过难关。正如温斯顿·丘吉尔所说，―乐观者在每次灾难中都看到机遇；悲观者在每次机遇中都看到灾难‖。

女士们，先生们，困难是存在的，但如果你保持乐观，你就会意识到永远有希望在等着你，它会把你领向最终的成功。不管是历史上还是现实中，这样的乐观者总是不胜枚举。你看，托马斯·爱迪生是乐观的，如果不是的话，他心中那希望的明灯就不能照亮整个世界；阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔是乐观的，如果不是的话，那炸药和享有很高声望的诺贝尔奖就不会诞生；兰斯·阿姆斯特朗也是乐观的，如果不是的话，那癌症的病魔早已吞噬了他的生命，这个世界就会少了一位五届环法自行车赛冠军得主.玫瑰花可能很美，也可能不美，这，仅仅取决于你的态度；而成功也如此，人生也如此。困难和阻碍的确存在，但是如果你很乐观的话，那它们就仅仅是我们通向胜利之冠的漫长道路上的小插曲；与其说它们是障碍，不如说它们是桥梁！此刻，我想以伟大的英国诗人雪莱的一句诗来作为我的结尾：―冬天来了，春天还会远吗?‖谢谢！大学生英语演讲稿2 What College Education Means to Me

The title of my speech is ―What college education means to me‖.Now reflecting on the past two and half years of my college experience, I come to realize how much it has shaped me.For me, college education is a marvelous ship-builder who designed me from kneel plates up.With great vision, college education has equipped me, first with a powerful propeller----the sophisticated knowledge in certain field and wide exposure to other disciplines.By dedicating myself to the engineering courses in the day and immersing myself in the r爱思英语学习网

ich banquet of the world literature at night, I‘ve amassed the driving force for the future and enriched my soul.Besides, college education has also provided me with a precise compass----the sense of social responsibility.How can I best serve the interest of the public while achieving my self-fulfillment? My one year‘s experience as a part-time English teacher has testified: to be valuable to society as well as to find my place, I have to possess some actual strength and the ability to function well in the most challenging situation.Amid the hectic schedule that balances club activities, sports, and academic courses, I feel the rhythm and beauty in the intensity of my high-pitched life, knowing that I ‘m on the right way.And more importantly, college education has set up not only single ships, but also fleets with common destinations.By interacting with friends of common beliefs, I‘ve acquired skills of relating to other people.Now ,as a ship about to make my maiden voyage ,I‘m still not in the position to tell what‘s waiting ahead of me ,but with a powerful propeller, a precise compass and ardent companions of sailing in the sea of society, I‘m ready to be a great sea-explorer.Thank you.大学教育对我的意义

今天我演讲的题目是―大学教育对我的意义‖。回顾思索着逝去的两年半的大学生活，我渐渐认识到大学教育对我产生的巨大影响。

对我来说，大学教育犹如一位技艺精湛的造船师，从船头至船尾地塑造了我。

首先，具有远见卓识的大学教育为我装配了一只马力强劲的推进器；精深的专业知识及广博的课外知识给我带来无限动力。白天我全神贯注地研习自己的工科课程，晚上则尽情享受世界文学所带来的盛宴，在此过程中，我既为未来积聚了力量，又充实了自己的灵魂。

此外，大学教育还为我提供了一个精确的罗盘，即社会责任感。―如何才能在实现自我价值的同时最大限度地服务于社会？‖我一年的兼职英语教师的经历证明：只有拥有过硬的实力和对高挑战性局面应付自如的能力，我才能成为一个对社会有价值的人，一个找到自己位置的人。在协调着社团活动、体育运动和专业课程的忙碌日程中，我感受到了高节奏、高密度生活的韵律与美丽。

更为重要的是，大学教育不仅仅制造了一只只单个的船只，他还组建了一支支驶向同一目的地的大舰队。在与志趣相投的朋友们的相处、融合中，我锻炼了与人交往的能力。

现在我即将作为一只巨轮开始我的首航，尽管前方的情况还无法预料，我却有充足的信心作一名出色的海洋探索者，因为我有强劲的推进器、精确的罗盘，还有一帮与我同行、一起驶向社会之洋的热心朋友！

学生英语演讲稿两篇（Finding Me-time is Important）

Hello, Dear teachers and fellow students.It is my honor to be here on this beautiful Friday morning to share with you my view on ―Me-time‖.In my opinion，finding me-time is important.With the development of the modern society, we students in China have more and more pressure.We have to spare every minute to study very hard and join various kinds of out-of-class training courses to improve ourselves.So we are really in lack of me-time which is helpful to keep ourselves from being over-stressed、tired and worried.I do not have as much fun as before and I always miss my childhood.Three hours of homework and two piano lessons one day make me have hardly any me-time to relax myself.I was once an active basketball player on my school team.But now, basketball, my best friend, I haven‘t touched it for almost two months.Me-time seems to have become a luxury.Last week, when I heard there was going to be a basketball match between our school and No 1 Middle School, I was so excited that I rushed home and told my parents the news.I asked my father, ― Dad, may I play basketball after school ? The coach says I am the best guard in our school.If I join the school basketball team, we are sure to beat No 1 Middle School this time.‖ My father showed his dispproval and said, ― Of course you can‘t.I‘m disappointed at you.Why do you have such a silly idea? Don‘t forget to work hard on your schoolwork and piano lessons.‖ In my parents‘ points of view, playing basketball is a waste of time.As far as I‘m concerned, the school assignment to the junior school students is too heavy.To grow into healthy and well-rounded adults, we should be allowed to have more me-time for relaxation.The pressure put on our students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally.爱思英语学习网

爱思英语http://www.xiexiebang.com/

My dear teachers, I hope you can assign less homework so we students can enjoy a period of me-time.My dear parents, would you please not follow me and remind me of study all the time? Please trust me that I will do my best.My dear friends, why not stop for a while from your heavy homework and do anything you like? It‘s me-time.I do think, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to us students and to the society as a whole.Finding me-time will make our life rich, colorful and rewarding.Thank you for your attention!Finding me time is important(琳)

Hello, my dear friends, it is my great honor to be here and give a speech.Today I want to talk about the importance of finding *me time*.May I begin my speech by asking you a question? Do you often feel tired, stressed or worried? If you do have these problems, you are lack of me-time to relax yourself.Psychologist tell us that stress is caused by too much work or study , heavy responsibilities , and quickened pace of life.In my point of view, if you want to have a healthy mind and body, having your own me-time is very important.Let me take myself as an example.I was a carefree and outgoing girl before I entered the junior high school.I had much me-time and did anything I like after class.I kept a lovely pet and whenever I have time I played with her happily.However, the situation is quite different now.When I want to turn on the TV、surf on the internet or go out shopping with my friends, my parents always look at me seriously and say ― Don‘t forget to spend more time on your lessons.If you don‘t cherish every minute of your time, other students will catch up with you.‖

So, every day, every moment, I am overwhelmed by all kinds of assignments.I become more and more silent and can‘t sleep well before the exams because I‘m dressed and worried about my results.I feel so tired and how I want to have me time to relax myself.I long for a period of time that I could walk in a small path in the countryside, sing my favourite song and smell the essence of nature.My dear friends, having your own me-time is important.I firmly believe that achievements depend on our health.If we want to have a more harmonious state to work better, we should find more *me time* and keep off the overwhelm stresses.Talks, jokes, games, fresh air or beautiful scenes will be helpful for you.Trust me, you‘ll be more refreshable and energetic.爱思英语学习网

大学生英语演讲稿23 I can handle it

I can never forget the summer in 1996.I went through an extremity of despair due to my failure in the National College Entrance Examination.It seemed that my dream of being a university student would never come true.One evening my father came and told me the story of Steven Callahan, who was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank.It was a miracle that he survived and was found 76 days later(the longest anyone has survived a shipwreck on a life raft alone).Later in his narrative he wrote these sentences ―I tell myself I can handle it.Compared to what others have been through I‘m fortunate‖.Hearing these sentences I felt something important struck me.I belived my life would mot be that bad and it was proved to be true.Later during my study in the university I always told myself ―I can handle it‖ when my own goals seemed far off or when my problems seemed too overwhelming and every time I said it ,I always came back to my senses., I will tell the same story of Callahan to them.I just want to make them believe they can handle their difficulties because their circumstances are only bad compared to something better.But others have been through much worse.Then they will build up fortitude.So here, coming to us from the extreme edge of survival, are words that can give us strength.Whatever you‘re going through, tell yourself you can handle it.Compared to what others have been through, you‘re fortunate.Tell this to yourself over and over, and it will help you get through the rough spots with little more fortitude.我能挺过去的

我永生难忘1996年的夏天。由于我在高考中的失利，我感到了极度的失望，我要成为一名大学生的梦想似乎是无法实现了。一天傍晚，我的父亲来给我讲了一个关于史蒂文·卡拉汉的故事，史蒂文独自驾驶着帆船横渡大西洋，途中船遇难下沉，但是他却活了下来并在76天后被人发现。（他是世界上遇海滩在救生艇中存活最长时间的人了）。后来卡拉汉在他的叙述中写到―我告诉自己一定可以挺过去的，跟别人的遭遇相比，我已经算是幸运的了‖。

听了这些话，我被深深地震撼了，我相信我的生活不会太差而事实也证明了这一点，后来我得到了进入大学学习的机会，在大学学习期间，当我觉得自己的目标似乎遥不可及或爱思英语学习网

者我遇到了似乎无法解决的问题时，我就勉励自己说―我能挺过去的‖而每每念及这句话，我总能有所醒悟。

我就给他们讲卡拉汉的故事，我就是想让他们相信他们可以从困难中挺过去的，因为困境都是相对而言的，有些人比我们更不幸，然后他们就会在自己心中建立起永不放弃的信念。

从这个大难不死的故事中，我们学到了能给予我们勇气与力量的话语，无论你遭遇了什么，都要对你自己说：一定能挺过去的。与其他人的不幸相比，你已经算是很幸运了，要一遍一遍地用此话鼓励自己，这个信念会使你更有信心渡过难关。大学生英语演讲稿21 Me and my Fears

Honorable judges, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:

It is a great honor and pleasure to be here on this beautiful Saturday morning to share with you my sentiments about life and passion for the English language.About a year and a half ago, I took part in my very first English Speech Contest.When I stood before the microphone with all eyes starring directly at me, I could hardly speak.I stood there, embarrassed and helpless, struggling in vain for the right thing to say.My fears had paralyzed me.While my passion for English has never changed, I lost my courage to speak in public.When my professor again encouraged me to take part in this Competition, I said ―no.‖ I couldn‘t endure yet another painful experience.He looked me straight in the eye and said something that pierced my heart.I will never forget his words.―Look,‖ he said, ―We all have our fears, and you have yours.You could twist your ankle in a basketball game, but then be afraid to ever play again.Running away can never dispel your fears, but action will.A winner is not one who never fails，but one who never quits.‖

I spent a whole day with his words twisting and turning in my mind.Then I made the bravest and wisest decision of my life: I would face my fears – and take part in the competition!

here I am, once again standing before a microphone.My heart is beating fast, and my mouth is dry, but most importantly, I have faced my fears--and that makes all the difference!

Thank you.战胜恐惧

尊敬的评委，各位来宾，女士们先生们，我很荣幸在这个美妙的星期六早上来到这里，与你们分享我生命中一段特别的经历。

大概一年半以前，我参加了生平第一次演讲比赛。站在麦克风前，面对观众们期待的眼神，我竟紧张的说不出话来。那一刻，我是多么无助啊！

我对于英语的挚爱从未改变，但却从此失去了面对公众演讲的勇气。当老教授鼓励我参加希望英语风采大赛时，我拒绝了。他直视我的眼睛，说了一番令我终身难忘的话。―你瞧，‖他说，―我们都有自己的恐惧。你可能会在一场篮球比赛中扭脚，并从此害怕再打球。你只能用行动去克服自己的恐惧，逃避是没有用的。生活中的成功者往往是永不放弃的人。‖

我花了一整天时间思考他的话。然后，我做出了一个勇敢而明智的决定： 我要参加中央电视台第五届―希望之星‖英语风采大赛！

此时此刻，当我再一次站在了麦克风前，仍然心跳不止，但更重要的是，我终于能够勇敢地面对我的恐惧了，而这已足够了。

The Future Is Now-The Choice is yours大学生英语演讲稿

As two men were about to be sent into prison, the warden let each of them make a demand.The American loved smoking, so he wanted three boxes of cigars;while the Jew said all he needed was a telephone to contact with people outside of the prison.Two years later, the first out was the American who still had many cigars in his hands and pockets but was crying: ―Give me some matches!‖ Then the Jew walked out, he shook hands with the warden and said: ―Thank you for the phone, it made my business increase by 200%.‖

What do you think of this story? Life today is what you‘ve decided years ago, and so is the future: your decisions today will affect your destiny years later.Now I have two things to choose from: to go abroad, to find myself a decent job after graduation or to further my study as a postgraduate.I haven‘t worked out an answer to this question yet, but I know that whatever I do will directly affect my future.爱思英语学习网

An Indian once said life is just like a game of cards, the cards in your hand represent opportunities, while the way you play decides the result you‘ll get.Looking back in history, during World War Ⅱ, Churchill who led the British people resolved to expect ―blood, toil, tears and sweat‖.They won the victory then.Today Shenzhou 5 took the first Chinese astronaut into space.I am sure that later there‘ll be more spacecrafts, like Shenzhou 6,7 and 8 ……

So what does the future look like? No one can tell.But I know the choice is yours, the future is now.Make good use of everyday, a man can achieve greater successes, a country can gain prosperity and the whole world can be united, as it has never been before.未来在于现在，选择则在你的手中

就在两个人即将入狱之时，看守让他们每个人提一个要求。美国人喜欢抽烟，于是要了三大箱的雪茄；而犹太人则说，他只要一个可以与外界联系的电话就可以了。两年后，刑期已满，第一个出来的是美国人，只见他手上拿着的，口袋里插着的都是烟，却大叫到：―给我火柴！‖接着犹太人走了出来，他握紧看守的手说：―谢谢您给的电话，我的生意在这两年间没有赔却增长了一倍。‖这个故事告诉了我们什么呢？多年前作的决定影响着你今天的生活，你今天的决定又会影响着多年之后的未来。现在我自己就面临着这样一个抉择：是出国，毕业后找一份安定的职业还是去考研继续深造。我还未找到自己的答案，但我明白无论我选择了什么，都会直接的影响我的将来。

印度人曾说过，生命就像是一场纸牌游戏，你手里的牌代表着机遇，而你如何去出牌才真正的决定着你的输赢。回望历史，二战期间，邱吉尔带领英国人民决心迎接―血，汗与泪‖并最终赢得了胜利。今天，神州五号载着第一位中国宇航员进入了太空。我可以预见到，未来会有更多的神州六号、七号这样的中国宇宙飞船驶入太空。那么未来的路又是怎样的那？没有人知道。但我可以告诉你，抉择在你的手中，未来始于现在。从现在起，充分利用好每一天，一个人可以取得成就，一个国家能够繁荣起来，而全世界则会前所未有的团结在一起。

大学生英语演讲稿赏析18 LIFE IS A CHOICE

In our daily lives, we have many choices to make, such as what to eat for supper,what clothes to wear, or what to do on weekends.At certain times in our lives, we need to make even more critical choices, such as which school to attend, what job to take or who to choose as husband or wife.Yes, life is a matter of choice.Seemimgly, it means爱思英语学习网

爱思英语http://www.xiexiebang.com/

a choice of tangible things.But in essence, it means choosing a way of life.Life is to be lived, savored, and enjoyed, not to be wasted or complained about.Hardly can we forget the time when our society faced the grave threat from the life-and-death disease--SARS.Yet, even during those dreadful times, some afflicted people remained optimistic.Instead of wearing neutral white masks, some people turned to colouful ones, and thus display a happy mood.And some creative people dubbed SARS to mean “SMILE AND REMAIN SMILING.” I was deeply touched by their optimisim, nearly forgetting that we're still in a battle.people who survive these kinds of circumstances,(at some point)decide in their minds to carry on in spite of the overwhelming odds.laid-off workers, typically regarded as the victims of economic advancement, are subject to desperation that being unmeployed has brought on them.But, encouragingly, we have witnessed some of them striving hard to rebuild confidence toward life and discover new opportunities for demonstrating their values.Although we cannot choose our appearance, inborn gifts and even avoid unexpected disasters and adversities, we do have the privilege to choose to live optimistcally,to love our lives, to have dreams, and to cherish hopes.Every morning when we get up, we have a choice of how we want to approach life that day.As for me, I choose to be cheerful.生活是一种选择

日常生活中,我们会面临各种各样的选择,像是晚餐吃什么,穿什么或是如何度周末.而在人生中的特定阶段,我们需要做出更多关键性的抉择,例如教育,职业或者人生伴侣.生活就意味着一种选择.这种选择看似是对具体事物的判断,但归根究底,是一种生活方式的选择.任何无味的抱怨和虚度光阴只会带来乏味,生活的美需要细心品尝,用心体会.如今回想起那段笼罩在SARS阴影下的日子依然心有余悸.但即便在那样令人沮丧的日子里,备受折磨的人们也始终保持着乐观.为传递一种欢快的情绪,大家换上了色彩缤纷的口罩.而那些富有创造力的人则把SARS解释为“笑口常开”.他们对待生活的乐观态度深深打动了我,几乎让我忘记我们还身处在没有硝烟的战场.其实,正是坚持不懈,坚忍不拔的精神引领人们走出了逆境.被看做经济发展牺牲品的广大下岗职工在面对生存压力时,特别容易陷入绝望当中.但别人欣慰的是,我们看到越来越多的这个群体中的成员重建了对生活的信心,并重新立足于社会以实现自己的价值.爱思英语学习网
