Maybe it’s a nice wish.Lets make up our minds, stick to it and surely well enjoy our life.英语演讲稿:We are on our way
Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends!I am very glad to stand here and deliver a speech.2008 sees the joys and sorrows of China.The snow disaster ,the earthquake and the Olympics all happened in this particular year.We chinese had never suffered such disaters and held the Olympics for the first time.That was a big challenge for us.But the strong chinese nation would fight until he dropped!Just as the saying goes, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.Hard work paid off.The disasters has gone by and the Olympics has been a big hit throughout the world.Now I'm standing here to tell you that we're on our way to be great.No one can deny us the future.If winter has come,can spring be far behind?We stand on the land of snow,we hear the voice of hope!Thank you!英语演讲比赛稿:We Are Family

CCTV杯演讲比赛英语演讲稿 Lecture Scripts Global Citizenship Begins at Home When I saw this title , I felt a little nervous, if I could expound this topic for you clearly, maybe my wisdom was enough to help me write a masterpiece in every field.Unfortunately , I cannot.And fortunately, in less than 3 minutes will you know my ideas.I think the most unbelievable news in the last century is we are genetically 99.9% the same.Do you feel a little excited, now? I did, when I first time heard it from the radio.And suddenly realized that we are born to be the same.This eye-catching news approved what we called “global village”, and then told us we are born with a “global citizenship” just like with the character.However, same to the character, global citizenship is not only accepted by oneself ,but also by others.As traditional Chinese saying goes, “thousands of miles should begin at first step”.Only if we have a good beginning at home — step first we firmly stepped, it would be easy for other global citizens to admit us.But you may feel a little bored to listen to my lecture and ask “what do you really want us to know?”
So let’s pay attention to our motherland.China has set us good examples to favor the title “global citizenship begins at home”.More than a hundred years ago, when the old Chinese government limited economic growth and lock his doors against the world.He missed the best opportunity to develop himself.He abandoned home, but was eager for an absolute global citizenship.He wanted to ignore the first step but jump far.Let alone other countries with an ulterior motive, I cannot agree.But now everything is changing.China is enjoying his broaden global citizenship in global affairs.Only when he is getting stronger himself, the global citizenship is truly owned by himself.Honor judges and dear friends, remember “global citizenship begins at home”, our dream should be that we keep on going to conform the changing world and keep our global citizenship worthy.As long as our dream outweighs our ability, the world, our country and ourselves will be forever young.That’s is our destiny.And this is our moment.Thank you for listening.Good night.演讲大赛英文演讲稿
good afternoon,Ladies and gentlemen.The title of my speech is “ The development of traditional culture ” : The 21st century has started a new history.Great changes have taken place in the world because of the prosperous development of technology and science.Some of you might have noticed that more and more people around us have started to learn a second language besides English.But maybe you will ask me “Isn’t it a good thing ?” No , absolutely not.It certainly meets the objective request of the economic globalization.While we accept western culture, some of us lost themselves in the ‘cultural sea’.Chances are that we are likely to lose our own traditional cultures.So ,the cultural globalization which is caused by economic globalization may be harmful to our country’s scientific development.As is well known to all , culture is the pillar of science.But there exist two phenomenon in the process of globation.One is some people called ‘Mr West ’。They accept western culture without any judgement , and they don’t care whether it is good or not.For instance ,maybe someone has found that western festivals are more and more popular such as Christmas and Valentine’s day.At the same time ,Chinese traditional festivals are fading away in our memories.we can’t image how a country could develop with its own culture lost.Well , another is called ‘ Mr Old ’ , in the contrary , they refuse to accept any other cultures , they blame that cultural globalization is a disaster.To our surprise , they absolutely don’t know that exchanging culture communication can advance the development of science and technology.Absolutely affirm or deny a culture for our development isn’t a wise choice it isn’t a wise choice to completely accept or deny a culture..I’m glad to hear that our party implemented a policy which is called sustainable development and tries their best to inherit and enhance our traditional culture.Under the precondition , our culture could promote.In this case, Chinese citizen may manager to survive.What’s more , we feel delighted to see that more and more 孔子学院have been built up)world-wide , aiming(AIMED)at carry on preserving and developing our traditional culture.I believe , under the guidance of the ‘Scientific concept of development ’ , Chinese technology , culture or even economic economy will reach to a new summit(REACH AN ALL-TIME HIGH).LET MY SPEECH BE AN OVERTURE TO THE GRAND SYMPHONY OF MAN AND ANTURE Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen: When the topic “people and nature” first caught my eye, I was reminded of a story about myself and my violin.I began learning to play the violin when I was eight years old.At first, it was a very hard thing for me.After my continued efforts, I was able to play a lot of musical pieces very soon.I felt so proud of myself that I began to behave arrogantly.My violin teacher noticed this and told me: “To be a good violin player, you should first of all love and respect your violin.You should obey the rules of playing it so as to make harmonious melodies.Remember, play the violin not only with your hands, but also with your heart and soul.” Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that nature is to people what my violin is to me.Isn’t it true that people deal with nature just as I play the violin? Isn’t it true that we have been so arrogant that we take liberties with nature, which brings about the discord between nature and ourselves? Since my violin and I have finally reached harmony, why can’t people and nature head toward the same direction? Ladies and gentlemen, we cannot wait.Nor can we afford to wait until the day when we find no city, no Hilton hotel, no lecture hall to hold any speech contests in.Let us love and respect nature, nature that is the violin people have played for thousands of years.Let us treasure it, and play it with our heart and soul.Let us observe its rules while developing our industry, modernizing our traffic system, and improving our living conditions, so that one day, people and nature will together produce the most beautiful and peaceful music.On that day, I am sure to be there with my violin, to join the world orchestra, in playing the ode to harmony, the eternal harmony between people and nature.Let my speech today be an overture to that grand symphony.Thank you.就业时选择高薪还是好的职位 Do You Prefer High Salary or A Promising Job?(观点题材)When it comes to the choice of career, some people prefer the job with high salary.Why? Their reasons run as following: to begin with, high salary can bring them happy life;in addition, with high salary, they can do whatever they want.But some others prefer to choose a job with promising future.They base their choice on the following reasons: on one hand, a promising job itself means a raise and promotion in the future;on another hand, job with a bright future will bring them honor and sense of pride.As for me, if I’m left to make the choice, I’ll not hesitate to choose a promising job.First of all, I appreciate the honor and challenge it brings to me.At the same time, if I work hard, it will offer me a lot of opportunities including high salary, good position, etc.第十届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军演讲稿
Building Bridges for the Future
I’m studying in a city that’s famous for its walls.People who visit my city are amazed at the imposing sight of its walls, especially when silhouetted against the setting sun with gold, shining streaks.The old, cracked bricks are covered with lichens and the walls are weather-beaten guards standing still for centuries.Our ancestors liked to build walls.They built walls in Beijing, Xi’an, Nanjing and many other cities, and they built the Great Wall, which snakes across half our country.They built walls to protect against enemies and evil spirits.This tradition has survived to this day: we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public.For a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world to me.My perceptions, however, changed after I made a hiking trip to the eastern suburbs of my city.My ClASsmates and I were walking with some foreign students.As we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by tall trees, which formed a wide canopy above our heads.Suddenly one foreign student asked me, “Where is the entrance to the eastern suburbs?”
“We’re already in the eastern suburbs,” I replied.He seemed taken aback, “I thought you Chinese had walls for everything.” His remark set off a heated debate.At one point, he likened our walled cities to “jails”, while I insisted that the eastern suburbs were one of the many places in China that had no walls.That debate had no winners, but I did learn a lot from this student.For instance, he told me that some major universities like Oxford and Cambridge were not surrounded by walls.I have to admit that we do have many walls in China, and as we develop our country, we must look carefully at them and decide whether they are physical or intangible.We will keep some walls but tear down those that impede our development.Let me give another example.A year ago, when I was working on a term paper, I needed a book on business law and found a copy in the law school library.However, the librarian coldly rejected my request to borrow it, saying, “You can’t borrow this book, you’re not a student here.” In the end, I had to spend 200 yuan to buy a copy.Meanwhile, the copy in the law school gathered dust on the shelf.At the beginning of this semester, I heard that my university had started to think of unifying its libraries and linking them to libraries at other universities, so my experience wouldn’t be repeated.Barriers would be replaced by bridges.An inter-library loan system would give us access to books from any library.With globalization and China integrated into the world, I believe many of these intangible walls will be knocked down.If There Were No After Life
Whether there’s afterlife, the answer has never been the same.The atheists deny after life, believing that our life is no more than from the cradle to the grave.They may care about their illustrious names after death;they may feel attached to the affection of their offspring, but they never lay their hopes on their afterlife.They may also say that good will be rewarded with good, and evil with evil, but they don’t really believe any retribution in their after life.However, in the religious world or among the superstitious people, the belief in afterlife is very popular.They do not only believe in afterlife, but thousands of reincarnations as well.In the mysterious world, there are the paradise and the hell, the celestial beings and the gods, the Buddha and the Bodhisattvas.Maybe they really believed it, or maybe they just wanted to make use of people’s veneration, the ancient emperors always declared that they were the real dragons, the sons of God, while the royal ministers claimed to be the reincarnations of various constellations.But can the stars reincarnate? Many people burn incense and kowtow, do good deeds and strive for virtues, not just for the present, but mainly to let God see their sincerity so as to be reborn into a better afterlife, or to achieve the highest enlightenment after several lives of practice.They do believe in afterlife.But I can’t help asking: Suppose there were no afterlife, would you still do good deeds and strive for virtues? And If God does not see what you are doing, would you still be so upright and selfless? If you work, not for serving the public and liberating the others, but just for a better afterlife of your own, isn’t it a little too selfish? Comparing with this kind of believers, those who don’t believe in afterlife, but still keep doing good deeds, are the most sincere and honest philanthropists, because they do them not for themselves but for other.You may wonder if I believe in afterlife.My answer is: I know nothing about my previous life, so I dare not make improper comments on afterlife.But I do hope there’s afterlife!Because our present life is so short that so many things slip away before our proper understanding.I have so many dreams, so many wishes, so many ambitions, as well as so many regrets and concerns.If there were no afterlife, all of them will remain unrealized!I’m not contented with the present commonplace life, I’m very much attached to the affections that should have been mine but have been washed away by the hurrying time, and I yearn for the perfection and maturity if I could start all over again.So believe it or not, I’d rather there were afterlife.My dream Dreams are the wind for our sails on the ocean.Dreams kindle a flame to illuminate our dark roads.Dreams are the armor for our fragile hearts.Martin Luther King had a dream — it was to have justice for all people.Lincoln had a dream — it was to set the slaves free.They sought their dreams and ultimately made them come true.When I was young, I saw a dog one day.I threw a stone at it just for fun.Then it fell down and looked very weak.At that moment, I was surprised to notice it was pregnant.I can’t remember what happened next, but there’s one thing I know: that I felt guilty.It was the first time that I found life could so easily pass away.At that time, I had a dream, which was to help those people who needed help.There are too many wars and disasters.About 16,000 people have died in the Iraq War and one child dies every eight seconds in Africa because of starvation.I have dreams, you have dreams and they have dreams too.We should help them.We should save their lives so that they can pursue their own dreams.Just like the lyric of a song says, “We are the ones who make a brighter day so let’s start giving.” Well, that’s my dream, a simple but meaningful one.Predestination
翻译:北京外国语大学北戴河外语培训基地副校长 张宝丹 Many things in this world find neither an answer nor a proper explanation.For example, why should two become a couple among the billions of people on earth? Why don't they love each other even though they live together everyday, and yet one of them falls in love with someone else at the first sight? Why do the members of a family quarrel daily but still stay unhappily together? Why can't they get married in spite of the fact that they are a perfect match to each other? Why should one toil so much for the other? Why should the love-infatuated always be deserted by the heartless?.....People remain puzzled in spite of their great effort to understand the endless questions, so they invented the all-embracing word---“predestination”.In order to be more precise, different combinations were derived from it: love predestination, sinful predestination, evil predestination, and kind predestination etc., hence we have the sayings like: “Predestination will definitely bring you together despite the great distance while without predestination, you'll never know each other even though you are standing fact to face” “A distant couple is tied up with the thread of predestination” and even the phrases and expressions like “the god of marriage”, “predestination without luck”, “luck without predestination”, “Coming across each other is a kind of predestination”, “Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road”, “They shall not marry each other unless they are predestined lovers”.If people still can not find answers, they turn to “reincarnation” for help.Lin Daiyu is always in tears just for repaying for the water Jia Baoyu had given her when she was a plant in her previous life in A Dream of the Red Mansions.In fact, the so-called “predestination” is often a kind of coincidence or chance encounter, even a kind of accident.If you don't meet this person, you'll surely meet some one else.But people insist on adding some colors of emotions or superstition, thus generating various religious factions, the main theories of which are no more than that of “reincarnation”, “heaven and hell” and “the ever-lasting soul” etc.But does anyone know anything about his previous life or his after life? What could he do even if he knew them? If he can't grasp the present life, what's the benefit of commenting on the visionary after life? Giving up today is the same as giving up tomorrow, for they are closely connected.How absurd it is to work like the horse or cattle in the present life in order to be above others in the next life.Which is the real key to success:ability or opportunity? Do you want to be success? Of course, the answer is yes.I have been in University for about one year.During my stay here, I came to realize that university life is like drinking coke.We experience all tastes of life here, sour, sweet, bitter and hot.I am from Province, which is far away from here.I often miss my Mum, friends, and relatives in my hometown.However, I can't see them very often.So loneliness always keeps me company.I am sad that I can't be there with them.Lucky for me, life in university is rich and colorful.With more free time,we can do many more things besides study, such as joining societies clubs, and taking part-time jobs.Such activities not only make our life more colorful, but also help us improve all kinds of skills.The university is a society miniature, what we learn here will benefit our future life.Our path in life will not always be smooth.Setbacks can't be avoided.Failing an important exam, break up with boy or girl friend, or refused by a promising company, such setbacks are likely to get us down.Sometimes we fell so frustrated that we even burst into tears.Drinkin coke is wonderful, despite the undesirble consequent hiccups.It's bitter, sour and peppery, but also sweet.And you'll even feel excited after gulping down a glass.A college experience is part of growing up.We cry, smile, fall in love, get hurt, leave, learn and then we become a better person.University life is like drinking coke.I'm experiencing it.And I know, I enjoy it!
我一直在大学呆了一年多。我在这儿时,我才意识到大学生活就像喝可乐。我们的生活经历各种口味、酸、甜、苦、辣。
我从省,离这儿很远。我常常想念妈妈的亲戚、朋友,在我的家乡。然而,我不能经常见到他们。那么孤独总是会陪伴我。我很难过,我无法和他们在一起。
幸运的是,我在大学生活是丰富多彩的。有更多的闲暇时间,我们可以做更多的事情除了学习,如加入社团俱乐部,打工。这样的活动,不仅使我们的生活更加丰富多彩,而且还能帮助我们改进各种各样的技能。大学是一个社会,我们在这里学到的微缩有利于我们今后的生活。
我们的人生之路不会一帆风顺。挫折是无法避免的。失败的一个重要的考试,跟男孩还是女孩的朋友,或者拒绝由一个有前途的公司,这样可能会让我们的挫折。有时候,我们觉得很沮丧,我们甚至大哭起来。
喝可乐是美妙的,尽管undesirble随之打嗝。这是苦的,酸和暴躁,而且甜。你甚至可以感觉到激动下一杯。全身后,一个大学的经验是成长的一部分。我们哭泣,微笑着,坠入爱河,受伤,离开,学习,然后我们做一个更好的人。
大学生活就像喝可乐。我的感受。我知道,我喜欢它!

CCTV杯演讲比赛英语演讲稿 Lecture Scripts Global Citizenship Begins at Home When I saw this title , I felt a little nervous, if I could expound this topic for you clearly, maybe my wisdom was enough to help me write a masterpiece in every field.Unfortunately , I cannot.And fortunately, in less than 3 minutes will you know my ideas.I think the most unbelievable news in the last century is we are genetically 99.9% the same.Do you feel a little excited, now? I did, when I first time heard it from the radio.And suddenly realized that we are born to be the same.This eye-catching news approved what we called “global village”, and then told us we are born with a “global citizenship” just like with the character.However, same to the character, global citizenship is not only accepted by oneself ,but also by others.As traditional Chinese saying goes, “thousands of miles should begin at first step”.Only if we have a good beginning at home — step first we firmly stepped, it would be easy for other global citizens to admit us.But you may feel a little bored to listen to my lecture and ask “what do you really want us to know?”
So let’s pay attention to our motherland.China has set us good examples to favor the title “global citizenship begins at home”.More than a hundred years ago, when the old Chinese government limited economic growth and lock his doors against the world.He missed the best opportunity to develop himself.He abandoned home, but was eager for an absolute global citizenship.He wanted to ignore the first step but jump far.Let alone other countries with an ulterior motive, I cannot agree.But now everything is changing.China is enjoying his broaden global citizenship in global affairs.Only when he is getting stronger himself, the global citizenship is truly owned by himself.Honor judges and dear friends, remember “global citizenship begins at home”, our dream should be that we keep on going to conform the changing world and keep our global citizenship worthy.As long as our dream outweighs our ability, the world, our country and ourselves will be forever young.That’s is our destiny.And this is our moment.Thank you for listening.Good night.演讲大赛英文演讲稿
good afternoon,Ladies and gentlemen.The title of my speech is “ The development of traditional culture ” :
The 21st century has started a new history.Great changes have taken place in the world because of the prosperous development of technology and science.Some of you might have noticed that more and more people around us have started to learn a second language besides English.But maybe you will ask me “Isn‟t it a good thing ?” No , absolutely not.It certainly meets the objective request of the economic globalization.While we accept western culture, some of us lost themselves in the „cultural sea‟.Chances are that we are likely to lose our own traditional cultures.So ,the cultural globalization which is caused by economic globalization may be harmful to our country‟s scientific development.As is well known to all , culture is the pillar of science.But there exist two phenomenon in the process of globation.One is some people called „Mr West ‟。They accept western culture without any judgement , and they don‟t care whether it is good or not.For instance ,maybe someone has found that western festivals are more and more popular such as Christmas and Valentine’s day.At the same time ,Chinese traditional festivals are fading away in our memories.we can‟t image how a country could develop with its own culture lost.Well , another is called „ Mr Old ‟ , in the contrary , they refuse to accept any other cultures , they blame that cultural globalization is a disaster.To our surprise , they absolutely don‟t know that exchanging culture communication can advance the development of science and technology.Absolutely affirm or deny a culture for our development isn‟t a wise choice it isn’t a wise choice to completely accept or deny a culture..I‟m glad to hear that our party implemented a policy which is called sustainable development and tries their best to inherit and enhance our traditional culture.Under the precondition , our culture could promote.In this case, Chinese citizen may manager to survive.What’s more , we feel delighted to see that more and more 孔子学院have been built up)world-wide , aiming(AIMED)at carry on preserving and developing our traditional culture.I believe , under the guidance of the ‘Scientific concept of development ’ , Chinese technology , culture or even economic economy will reach to a new summit(REACH AN ALL-TIME HIGH).LET MY SPEECH BE AN OVERTURE TO THE GRAND SYMPHONY OF MAN AND ANTURE Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen: When the topic “people and nature” first caught my eye, I was reminded of a story about myself and my violin.I began learning to play the violin when I was eight years old.At first, it was a very hard thing for me.After my continued efforts, I was able to play a lot of musical pieces very soon.I felt so proud of myself that I began to behave arrogantly.My violin teacher noticed this and told me: “To be a good violin player, you should first of all love and respect your violin.You should obey the rules of playing it so as to make harmonious melodies.Remember, play the violin not only with your hands, but also with your heart and soul.” Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that nature is to people what my violin is to me.Isn’t it true that people deal with nature just as I play the violin? Isn’t it true that we have been so arrogant that we take liberties with nature, which brings about the discord between nature and ourselves? Since my violin and I have finally reached harmony, why can’t people and nature head toward the same direction? Ladies and gentlemen, we cannot wait.Nor can we afford to wait until the day when we find no city, no Hilton hotel, no lecture hall to hold any speech contests in.Let us love and respect nature, nature that is the violin people have played for thousands of years.Let us treasure it, and play it with our heart and soul.Let us observe its rules while developing our industry, modernizing our traffic system, and improving our living conditions, so that one day, people and nature will together produce the most beautiful and peaceful music.On that day, I am sure to be there with my violin, to join the world orchestra, in playing the ode to harmony, the eternal harmony between people and nature.Let my speech today be an overture to that grand symphony.Thank you.就业时选择高薪还是好的职位

Building Bridges for the Future
I‟m studying in a city that‟s famous for its walls.People who visit my city are amazed at the imposing sight of its walls, especially when silhouetted against the setting sun with gold, shining streaks.The old, cracked bricks are covered with lichens and the walls are weather-beaten guards standing still for centuries.Our ancestors liked to build walls.They built walls in Beijing, Xi‟an, Nanjing and many other cities, and they built the Great Wall, which snakes across half our country.They built walls to protect against enemies and evil spirits.This tradition has survived to this day: we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public.For a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world to me.My perceptions, however, changed after I made a hiking trip to the eastern suburbs of my city.My ClASsmates and I were walking with some foreign students.As we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by tall trees, which formed a wide canopy above our heads.Suddenly one foreign student asked me, “Where is the entrance to the eastern suburbs?”

Thank you, people in University of South China
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.I’m LiuTian, Contestant NO.1.I really hope this number will bring me good luck.What’s there to be grateful for? The first, I think, are my parents, because my parents are the first drop of my gratitude journey.However, I now focus most of my attention on are developing myself, wanting to live a simpler and more enjoyable life.I now find what there is to be grateful for.This has been very important in changing the way I see life and circumstances.So today I would like to speak loudly “Thank You, People in University of South China”.Maybe someone present can’t help wondering you choose the topic just because of your audience.Not exactly.Now, attention.It happened last semester, the first time I was far away from home to Heng Yang for study.Unlike other freshmen who filled with enthusiasm, on the contrary, I had had some bad experiences,because I was not sure what would happen next, good or bad? Failure or success? I was careful in doing everything,’ cause I do not want to bother anyone, especially, there are 26 girls in my class, only two boys.I thought it must quite difficult to get along well with anyone.In short, I met quite a lot so-called difficulties as a 17-year-old freshman.Depression,suspicion, frustration were full of my mind.But now, I’m pretty good, am I not?
Thank you, my family 115 and friends in USC, it is you, who reminded me of giving thanks for “negative” things in my life, problems can be seen as opportunities to grow, to be creative.I remembered what you
always said’ you can make it, I believe you ’, in fact, maybe, you yourself even didn’t know how the words you said pushed me forward.You
valued me so much.I'm grateful that I have a class at school that I really like and grateful for having such good friends.Thank you, my dear college teachers, you are the candle in my life lighting my future, each day the knowledge you taught in class was warm like the sun, helping me set goals and catch opportunities.Finally, I would like to say “Thank you, my opponents, or even the enemies”.It is you who led me out of confusion and made me more determined.It is all of you that made me understand that obstacles and challenges not only make me stronger, but force me to explore outside of the comfortable routine that I've settled into.Here, you give me the feeling of being home;here, you make me understand there is true affection everywhere;Here, you help me grow up, being independent.I am very lucky to have met you in my life, I thank all of you!That’s all.Thanks for your listening!
