第一篇:大学生英语演讲稿speech
Good evening, honored judges, ladies and gentlemen.Before starting my speech, I`d like to ask you a question: do you have your career plans? If your answer is NO, here, I hope I can raise your awareness of the importance of making career plans by delivering this speech.When I learned the news, I can`t help thinking, why this doctor want to get a teaching job.Is it because she got no other available jobs or she longed to be a teacher?
Let us take the first assumption as the reality, this young lady has been turned down for all jobs she applied before and came to a local middle school headmaster to ask for a job.If I were the headmaster, I`d like to hire bachelor degree or master degree students rather than PhDs, because the former ones` salary expectancy will be relatively low and they can also do the teaching job quite well.This reveals a sad reality,which is ,a high education degree doesn`t equal to a stepping—stone to all kinds of jobs.So, before trying to get higher education, we must think of the following questions: what I really want to be? After my graduation, can I start my career with the current diploma? Do I really need to get a higher degree certificate to start my job? If you can handle your job, it would be just as well not to get a Doctor degree.I strongly suggest that youshould start doing practical things rather than working hard on theoretical ones, for we all know that practice makes perfect.Further more, our country has devoted time, money and effort to cultivate a research person.And a PhD, Doctor of philosophy, is supposed to work on unknown issues, stuy in science of science.By the way, if the lady is about to throw reforms on middle school education by using her knowledge and working as a teacher is her very first step to achieve this goal, well, I will say, this is really a huge plan and I appreciate her bravity and perseverance.Now, to those people who don`t have career planning, do you feel like to grab a pen and writing something about your future?
That is the end of my speech, thank you!
第二篇:英语演讲稿:Resignation Speech
Good evening: This is the 37th time I have spoken to you from this office, where so many decisions have been made that shape the history of this nation.Each time I have done so to discuss with you some matter that I believe affected the national interest.In all the decisions I have made in my public life I have always tried to do what was best for the nation.Throughout the long and difficult period of Watergate, I have felt it was my duty to persevere--to make every possible effort to complete the term of office to which you elected me.In the past few days, however, it has become evident to me that I no longer have a strong enough political base in the Congress to justify continuing that effort.As long as there was such a base, I felt strongly that it was necessary to see the constitutional process through to its conclusion;that to do otherwise would be unfaithful to the spirit of that deliberately difficult process, and a dangerously destabilizing precedent for the future.But with the disappearance of that base, I now believe that the constitutional purpose has been served.And there is no longer a need for the process to be prolonged.I would have preferred to carry through to the finish whatever the personal agony it would have involved, and my family unanimously urged me to do so.But the interests of the nation must always come before any personal considerations.From the discussions I have had with Congressional and other leaders I have concluded that because of the Watergate matter I might not have the support of the Congress that I would consider necessary to back the very difficult decisions and carry out the duties of this office in the way the interests of the nation will require.I have never been a quitter.To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body.But as President, I must put the interests of
第三篇:英语演讲稿:Prepared Speech
honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen, good morning.first of all, let me take this chance to present to you a set of data that i hope won't bore you since the source is china daily.china's tourism revenue last year reached 500 billion rmb, an increase of 10.5 percent from the year before, and comprised more than 5% of china's gdp.according to experts, this number will grow to 8% in the coming ten years and more than 40 million jobs will be created.as a student majoring in economics, i can't be more sensitive to the essential meanings behind these numbers.they mean progress, prosperity, employment and stability.however, as a conscientious chinese and citizen of the world, i can't help but care more about the losses incurred in this transaction, by which i mean the disturbing images of environmental destruction, which leads to ecological crisis.the global environment has changed for the worse during the past few years, and tourism is partly to blame.take china for example, in order to attract tourists, many unknown places are built into resorts.forests are cleared, prairies trampled, rivers and lakes 6)contaminated, wild animals are driven away, plants jeopardized and secluded populations disturbed.if this seems too remote and abstract, my own traveling experience may speak louder here.last year i took a tour around emei mountain in sichuan province.like most tourists, i was eager to embrace nature and enjoy its beauty.however, as soon as i got on the bus, the stench of gasoline and the noise of the engine tainted my appreciation of the wonderful scenery and the tranquility of the country road.when we finally arrived, what i saw was not a beautiful landscape but crowds of people;what i heard was not the melodious singing of birds, but yelling and bargaining from the gift shops;what i smelled was not the fresh mountain air, but stinking suffocating smoke coming out of small dirty restaurants.moreover, i could not understand why the lovely monkeys living there had to take photos with tourists all day;why the beautiful butterflies and flowers had become lifeless samples in shop windows;why the strongest impressions i had was trash scattered everywhere on the ground.however, this is not the end of the story.before i left emei, i met a group of kids in an ecotourism program with the slogan: “experiencing, learning and protecting.” when i saw their young hands picking up trash from the ground, when i felt their enjoyment and harmonious relationship with the animals, when i found their purest eyes filled with passion and love for nature, i realized to my great satisfaction that there doesn't have to be a tradeoff between tourism and ecology, because deep within us is an inclination toward natural beauty and a desire to protect it.yes, environmental problems will eventually ease with the advancement of science and technology and improvement of our management system.however, an increase of ecological education and hands-on environmental involvement of our fellow citizens will do even better.to realize this, the best way for us lies in tourism itself because nothing other than nature can teach us how to love and cherish our sweetest home.at the end of my speech, please let me quote bob dylan:

thank you!
chief justice rehnquist, president carter, president bush,president clinton, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens, the peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history, yet common in our country.with a simple oath, we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings.as i begin, i thank president clinton for his service to our nation.and i thank vice president gore for a contest conducted with spirit and ended with grace.i am honored and humbled to stand here, where so many of america's leaders have come before me, and so many will follow.we have a place, all of us, in a long story--a story we continue, but whose end we will not see.it is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer.it is the american story--a story of flawed and fallible people, united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals.the grandest of these ideals is an unfolding american promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance, that no insignificant person was ever born.americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws.and though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course.through much of the last century, america's faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea.now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations.our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along.and even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel.while many of our citizens prosper, others doubt the promise, even the justice, of our own country.the ambitions of some americans are limited by failing schools and hidden prejudice and the circumstances of their birth.and sometimes our differences run so deep, it seems we share a continent, but not a country.we do not accept this, and we will not allow it.our unity, our union, is the serious work of leaders and citizens in every generation.and this is my solemn pledge: i will work to build a single nation of justice and opportunity.i know this is in our reach because we are guided by a power larger than our selves who creates us equal in his image.and we are confident in principles that unite and lead us onward.america has never been united by blood or birth or soil.we are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens.every child must be taught these principles.every citizen must uphold them.and every immigrant, by embracing these ideals, makes our country more, not less, american.today, we affirm a new commitment to live out our nation's promise through civility, courage, compassion and character.america, at its best, matches a commitment to principle with a concern for civility.a civil society demands from each of us good will and respect, fair dealing and forgiveness.some seem to believe that our politics can afford to be petty because, in a time of peace, the stakes of our debates appear small.but the stakes for america are never small.if our country does not lead the cause of freedom, it will not be led.if we do not turn the hearts of children toward knowledge and character, we will lose their gifts and undermine their idealism.if we permit our economy to drift and decline, the vulnerable will suffer most.we must live up to the calling we share.civility is not a tactic or a sentiment.it is the determined choice of trust over cynicism, of community over chaos.and this commitment, if we keep it, is a way to shared accomplishment.america, at its best, is also courageous.our national courage has been clear in times of depression and war, when defending common dangers defined our common good.now we must choose if the example of our fathers and mothers will inspire us or condemn us.we must show courage in a time of blessing by confronting problems instead of passing them on to future generations.together, we will reclaim america's schools, before ignorance and apathy claim more young lives.we will reform social security and medicare, sparing our children from struggles we have the power to prevent.and we will reduce taxes, to recover the momentum of our economy and reward the effort and enterprise of working americans.we will build our defenses beyond challenge, lest weakness invite challenge.sometimes in life we are called to do great things.but as a saint of our times has said, every day we are called to do small things with great love.the most important tasks of a democracy are done by everyone.i will live and lead by these principles: to advance my convictions with civility, to pursue the public interest with courage, to speak for greater justice and compassion, to call for responsibility and try to live it as well.in all these ways, i will bring the values of our history to the care of our times.what you do is as important as anything government does.i ask you to seek a common good beyond your comfort;to defend needed reforms against easy attacks;to serve your nation, beginning with your neighbor.i ask you to be citizens: citizens, not spectators;citizens, not subjects;responsible citizens, building communities of service and a nation of character.americans are generous and strong and decent, not because we believe in ourselves, but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves.when this spirit of citizenship is missing, no government program can replace it.when this spirit is present, no wrong can stand against it.after the declaration of independence was signed, virginia statesman john page wrote to thomas jefferson: “we know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong.do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm?”
much time has passed since jefferson arrived for his inauguration.the yearsand changes accumulate.but the themes of this day he would know: our nation's grand story of courage and its simple dream of dignity.we are not this story's author, who fills time and eternity with his purpose.yet his purpose is achieved in our duty, and our duty is fulfilled in service to one another.never tiring, never yielding, never finishing, we renew that purpose today, to make our country more just and generous, to affirm the dignity of our lives and every life.this work continues.this story goes on.and an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm.god bless you all, and god bless america.

public health, for civil rights and common schools.yet compassion is the work of a nation, not just a government.and some needs and hurts are so deep they will only respond to a mentor's touch or a pastor's prayer.church and charity, synagogue and mosque lend our communities their humanity, and they will have an honored place in our plans and in our laws.many in our country do not know the pain of poverty, but we can listen to those who do.and i can pledge our nation to a goal: when we see that wounded traveler on the road to jericho, we will not pass to the other side.america, at its best, is a place where personal responsibility is valued and expected.encouraging responsibility is not a search for scapegoats, it is a call to conscience.and though it requires sacrifice, it brings a deeper fulfillment.we find the fullness of life not only in options, but in commitments.and we find that children and community are the commitments that set us free.our public interest depends on private character, on civic duty and family bonds and basic fairness, on uncounted, unhonored acts of decency which give direction to our freedom.sometimes in life we are called to do great things.but as a saint of our times has said, every day we are called to do small things with great love.the most important tasks of a democracy are done by everyone.i will live and lead by these principles: to advance my
