I want to say congratulations to you, Jim, for your promotion to sales manager.You have been a great colleague as well as a good friend.And I am proud of you.Good luck, Jim, and come drop by our office any time.这是相当“敏感的”演说。无论上司也好同事也罢，我们对于别人的晋升难免总会有几分“嫉妒”（ENVY）的心情。当然这种心情一旦暴露出来，演说就垮了。诸如“这次的晋升对您来说实至名归”（a promotion you richly deserve)这类赞美之辞乃属必要。

hi everyone
my name is………….., for those of you in the assembly that don’t know me, i am in year ………..i am not sure how many of you realise that today marks a very important worldwide celebration for children.today is universal children’s day.so what, you may say, what does this mean to me, and why should i even bother to listen?
well the answer is very simple, as students in china we live a life of privilege and relative safety compared to children and young people in many other parts of the world.we are very lucky.but this shouldn’t mean that we don’t care about other children and communities around the world less fortunate than ourselves.i think some classes have been learning about how students just like us in other parts of the world have to struggle to survive.some children cant afford the things we take for granted like food, clothing, safe water and sanitation and having the opportunity to go to school.today is a day set aside to promote worldwide unity between children and to increase the awareness by all people of the plight of vulnerable children in some parts of the world.in nsw, we are calling our contribution to universal children’s day, unicef day for change.as part of this day, our school is doing...on behalf of the students and staff who have put time into planning this activity, i would like to thank you in advance for your support.thank you

an old woman had a cat.the cat was very old;she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old.one day the old cat saw a mouse;she jumped and caught the mouse.but she
could not bite it;so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse.she began to hit the cat.the cat said, “do not hit your old servant.i have worked for you for many years, and i would work for you still, but i am too old.do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young.”
老猫
一位老妇有只猫，这只猫很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了东西，因为它年纪太大了。一天，老猫发现一只老鼠，它跳过去抓这只老鼠，然而，它咬不住这只老鼠。因此，老鼠从它的嘴边溜掉了，因为老猫咬不了它。
于是，老妇很生气，因为老猫没有把老鼠咬死。她开始打这只猫，猫说：“不要打你的老仆人，我已经为你服务了很
多年，而且还愿意为你效劳，但是，我实在太老了，对年纪大的不要这么无情，要记住老年人在年青时所做过的有益的事情。”
a man was going to the house of some rich person.as he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road.he said, “i do not want to eat those apples;for the rich man will give me much food;he will give me very nice food to eat.” then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.he went on and came to a river.the river had become very big;so he could not go over it.he waited for some time;then he said, “i cannot go to the rich man’s house today, for i cannot get over the river.”
he began to go home.he had eaten no food that day.he began to want food.he came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.do not throw good things away;you may be glad to have them at some other time.一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去，当他沿着路走时，在路的一边他发现一箱好苹果，他说：“我不打算吃那些苹果，因为富人会给我更多的食物，他会给我很好吃的东西。”然后他拿起苹果，一把扔到土里去。
他继续走，来到河边，河涨水了，因此，他到不了河对岸，他等了一会儿，然后他说：“今天我去不了富人家了，因为我不能渡过河。”
他开始回家，那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的，他找到苹果，很高兴地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。
不要把好东西扔掉，换个时候你会觉得它们大有用处。
the city mouse and the country mouse
once there were two mice.they were friends.one mouse lived in the
country;the other mouse lived in the city.after many years the country mouse saw the city mouse;he said, “do come and see me at my house in the country.” so the city mouse went.the city mouse said, “this food is not good, and your house is not good.why do you live in a hole in the field? you should come and live in the city.you would live in a nice house made of stone.you would have nice food to eat.you must come and see me at my house in the city.”
the country mouse went to the house of the city mouse.it was a very good house.nice food was set ready for them to eat.but just as they began to eat they heard a great noise.the city mouse cried, “ run!run!the cat is
coming!” they ran away quickly and hid.after some time they came out.when they came out, the country mouse said, “i do not like living in the city.i like
living in my hole in the field.for it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid.”
城里老鼠和乡下老鼠
从前，有两只老鼠，它们是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在乡村，另一只住在城里。很多年以后，乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它说：“你一定要来我乡下的家看看。”于是，城里老鼠就去了。乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。城里老鼠说：“这东西不好吃，你的家也不好，你为什么住在田野的地洞里呢？你应该搬到城里去住，你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子，还会吃上美味佳肴，你应该到我城里的家看看。”
乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的东西也为他们摆好了。可是正当他们要开始吃的时候，听见很大的一阵响声，城里的老鼠叫喊起来：“快跑！快跑！猫来了！”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。
过了一会儿，他们出来了。当他们出来时，乡下老鼠说：“我不喜欢住在城里，我喜欢住在田野我的洞里。因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在，比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说，要好些。

第四篇：英语演讲小短文
Heavy schoolwork【课业繁重】
In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy.While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults.High should be allowed more time for play.Playing is not wasting time, as some think.It gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination.Which tends to be stifled by too much study.Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally.I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork.I do think, however, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.我认为目前高中生的课业实在太重了，虽然说学生的确应当念书，但是要想长大成为健全的人，他门还需要一些其它的东西，所以应该给高中生较多从事娱乐的时间。娱乐并不如某些人所想的，是在浪费时间，它可以让学生锻炼身体，发挥被繁重课业扼杀的想象力。此外，繁重的课业加诸在高中生身上的压力可能引起严重的情绪紧张，这对身心都有害。我并非主张废除学校课业，但是我认为减轻目前繁重的课业对于学生和整个社会都是有益的。
Time【时间】
Lost time is never found again.This is something which I learned very clearly last semester.I spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer.I finally realized that something had to be done.It was time for a change.Now I have a new plan for using my time wisely.I have set my alarm clock ahead half an hour.This will give me a head start on the day.I have also decided to keep a log of what I do and when I do it.Looking back on what I’ve done will give me some ideas on how to reorganize my time.时光一去不复返，这是我上学期清楚学到的教训。我浪费很多时间四处游荡，以致于我的成绩开始退步。最后我终于了解到我必须有所作为；该是痛改前非的时候了。
现在我有一个明智运用时间的新方法。我已将闹钟早拨半小时，这将使我这一天的作息提前开始。我也决定将我所做的一切及做这些事的时间记录下来。回顾我所做的事情会启发我如何重新安排我的时间。
Work and Play【工作与娱乐】
Work and play do not contradict each other;in fact, they complement each other.As the saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work.On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions.What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies.Usually I don't spare time for exercise, but I value the physical education class at school.Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure.On weekends, I'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment.I feel revived and energetic for another week's work-load.工作与娱乐并不互相冲突，事实上，它们之间的关系还相辅相成。有句格言说：「整日工作而没有休闲娱乐，会令人变得沉闷乏味。」被工作重担压得喘不过气来的生活，将使你一事无成，因为你将对一成不变的例行公事感到厌烦。由另一方面来说，适度的娱乐活动能提供各种管道，来渲泄你被压抑的情绪，减轻单调生活中的紧张与不悦。
放学之后，我最常做的休闲活动，便是慢跑与看电影。通常我并不特地拨出时间来做运动，但是我很重视学校的体育课。在操场上慢跑几圈，无疑地可以减轻一天的压力。在周末时，我都去看早场电影，享受视觉飨宴。如此一来，我将有如再生般的充沛活力，去面对下一星期的工作量。
My first Job【我的第一份工作】
My first job was at a cramming school.It was three years ago when I just graduated from junior high school and finished the entrance examination.since I had nothing to do that summer, I decided to find a job, tasting the joy of independence.I was responsible for answering the telephone and taking the message.I worked eight hours a day, six days a week.The work was not difficult nor heavy to me and I guess I did well.The most delighted thing was perhaps that I could spend the money I earned all by myself.我的第一份工作是在一家补习班做事。那是三年前我刚从国中毕业，考完联考时的事了。既然我那整个夏天都闲着没事，倒不如找份差事，尝尝独立赚钱的快乐。
我负责接听电话且纪录留言的工作。我一天工作八小时，一星期工作六天。那份工作对我而言既不困难亦不沉重，所以我想我还满称职的。而最令人快乐的事大概莫过于花全部由自己赚来的钱了！
My Favorite Sports【我最喜爱的运动】
Sports help everyone to keep healthy, happy, and efficient.So I pay special attention to games, especially table-tennis.Table tennis is my favorite game.I play it almost every day.Table-tennis is an ideal game us because it brings the whole body into action.It strengthens our muscles, expands our lungs, promotes the circulation of the blood, and causes a healthy action of the skin.Besides, it is very amusing and does not cost us much money.Table-tennis is very moderate;it is not so rough as football.It is an indoor game and can be played even on rainy days.Thus, it is my favorite kind of exercise.运动能帮助每一个人保持健康、快乐和有效率。所以我特别重视运动，特别是桌球，桌球是我最喜欢的运动。我几乎每天玩。
桌球对我们而言，是一项理想的运动，因为它可以使我们全身运动，它可以增强我们的肌肉，扩张我们的肺部，促进血液循环，并且使肌肤产生健康作用，此外，它很有趣而且所费不多。桌球是相当温和适中的，它不像足球那么粗野。它是一种室内运动，甚至在下雨天也能玩。因此，桌球是我最喜爱的一种运动。
Keep learning【保持学习】
As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind.Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food.Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity.Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment.Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.Once learning stops, vegetation sets in.It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge.On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave.With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind.What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire
for the refinement of our character.Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.学习之于心灵，就像食物之于身体一样。摄取了适量的营养食物，我们的身体得以生长而肌肉得以发达。同样地，我们应该日复一日不断地学习以保持我们敏锐的心智能力，并扩充我们的智力容量。不断的学习提供我们用不尽的燃料，来驱使我们磨利我们的推理、分析和判断的能力。持续的学习是在信息时代中跟时代并驾齐驱的最稳当的方法，也是在变动的世代中成功的可靠保证。
一旦学习停止，单调贫乏的生活就开始了。视学校为汲取知识的唯一场所是种常见的谬误。相反地，学习应该是一种无终止的历程，从生到死。由于世界一直快速地在变动，只要学习停顿数日就将使人落后。更糟的是，蛰伏在我们潜意识深处的兽性本能就会复活，削弱我们追求高贵理想的意志，弱化我们扫除成功障碍的决心，而且扼杀我们净化我们人格的欲望。缺少学习将不可避免地导致心灵的停滞，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。因此，为了保持心理年轻，我们必须将学习当作一生的事业。

英语演讲短文——年终餐会
we want to thank all the people here for taking time out of your busy schedule at the busiest time of the year to e to our year-end party.tonight we are very fortunate to have our friends from johnson pany with us here to celebrate the year-end festivities together.we all hope you will be able to have a good time tasting the chinese cuisine, drinking the chinese wine, and, above all, enjoying the chinese 'authentic' entertainment.our young talented employees are going to perform.now, let us propose a toast to this happy occasion at the end of the year.(after all the cups glasses has been filled.)here's to johnson's and good electric!邀请外商客户参加年终餐会，使其见识中国人的[饮食文化]，这主意也是不错的。席间对于贵宾百忙之中抽空光临表示感谢之意，并且在请其品尝美酒佳肴欣赏余兴节目之际，带头举杯预祝双方今后的合作愉快。
注解： 1.authentic 正宗
2.propose a toast 举杯祝贺;[让我们为~干杯!]是 let's(propose a)toast to ~ 3.抽空是 take the time out of ~.[承蒙百忙之中抽空,不胜感激!]是thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule.into the grave.it is the simplicity, and as it were abstractedneof our feelings in youth, that(so to speak)identifies us with nature, and(our experience being slight and our passions strong)deludes us into a belief of being immortal like it.our short-lives connection with existence we fondly flatter ourselves, is an indissoluble and lasting union-a honeymoon that knows neither coldness, jar, nor separation.as infants smile and sleep, we are rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies, and lulled into security by the roar of the universe around us0we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the more-objects prearound us, filling the mind with their magnitude and with the strong of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.年轻人不相信自己会死。这是我哥哥的话，可算得一句妙语。青春有一种永生之感——它能弥补一切。人在青年时代好像一尊永生的神明。诚然，生命的一半已以消逝，但蕴藏着不尽财富的另一半还有所保留，我们对它也抱着无穷的希望和幻想。未来的时代完全属于我们——
无限辽阔的远景在我们面前展现
死亡，老年，不过是空话，毫无意义;我们听了，只耳边风，全不放在心上。这些事，别人也许经历过，或者可能要承受，但是我们自己，“在灵符护佑下度日”，对于诸如此类脆弱的念头，统统付之轻蔑的一笑。像是刚刚走上愉快的旅程，极目远眺——
向远方的美景欢呼!
此时，但觉好风光应接不暇，而且，前程更有美不胜收的新鲜景致。在这生活的开端，我们听任自己的志趣驰骋，放手给它们一切满足的机会。到此为止，我们还没有碰上过什么障碍，也没有感觉到什么疲惫，因此觉得还可以一直这样向前走去，直到永远。我们看到四周一派新天地——生机盎然，变动不居，日新月异;我们觉得自己活力充盈，精神饱满，可与宇宙并驾齐驱。而且，眼前也无任何迹象可以证明，在大自然的发展过程中，我们自己也会落伍，衰老，进入坟墓。由于年轻人天真单纯，可以说是茫然无知，因而将自己跟大自然划上等号;并且，由于经验少而感情盛，误以为自己也能和大自然一样永世长存。我们一厢情愿，痴心妄想，竟把自己在世上的暂时栖身，当作千古不变、万事长存的结合，好像没有冷淡、争执、离别的密月。像婴儿带着微笑入睡，我们躺在用自己编织成的摇篮里，让大千世界的万籁之声催哄我们安然入梦;我们急切切，兴冲冲地畅饮生命之杯，怎么也不会饮干，反而好像永远是满满欲溢;森罗万象纷至沓来，各种欲望随之而生，使我们腾不出工夫想死亡。

work and play do not contradict each other;in fact, they plement each other.as the saying goes, “all work and no play makes jack a dull boy.” a life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work.on the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and disfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions.what i usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies.usually i don't spare time for exercise, but i value the physical education class at school.jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure.on weekends, i'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment.i feel revived and energetic for another week's work-load.工作与娱乐并不互相冲突，事实上，它们之间的关系还相辅相成。有句格言说：「整日工作而没有休闲娱乐，会令人变得沉闷乏味。」被
工作重担压得喘不过气来的生活，将使你一事无成，因为你将对一成不变的例行公事感到厌烦。由另一方面来说，适度的娱乐活动能提供各种管道，来渲泄你被压抑的情绪，减轻单调生活中的紧张与不悦。
放学之后，我最常做的休闲活动，便是慢跑与看电影。通常我并不特地拨出时间来做运动，但是我很重视学校的体育课。在操场上慢跑几圈，无疑地可以减轻一天的压力。在周末时，我都去看早场电影，享受视觉飨宴。如此一来，我将有如再生般的充沛活力，去面对下一星期的工作量。
my first job【我的 my favorite sports【我最喜爱的运动】
sports help everyone to keep healthy, happy, and efficient.so i pay special attention to games, especially table-tennis.table tennis is my favorite game.i play it almost every day.table-tennis is an ideal game us because it brings the whole body into action.it strengthens our muscles, expands our lungs, promotes the circulation of the blood, and causes a healthy action of the skin.besides, it is very amusing and does not cost us much money.table-tennis is very moderate;it is not so rough as football.it is an indoor game and can be played even on rainy days.thus, it is my favorite kind of exercise.运动能帮助每一个人保持健康、快乐和有效率。所以我特别重视运动，特别是桌球，桌球是我最喜欢的运动。我几乎每天玩。
桌球对我们而言，是一项理想的运动，因为它可以使我们全身运动，它可以增强我们的肌肉，扩张我们的肺部，促进血液循环，并且使肌肤产生健康作用，此外，它很有趣而且所费不多。桌球是相当温和适中的，它不像足球那么粗野。它是一种室内运动，甚至在下雨天也能玩。因此，桌球是我最喜爱的一种运动。
keep learning【保持学习】
as food is to the body, so is learning to the mind.our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food.likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity.constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis，and judgment.learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.once learning stops, vegetation sets in.it is a mon fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge.on the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave.with the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind.what's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will e to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character.lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.学习之于心灵，就像食物之于身体一样。摄取了适量的营养食物，我们的身体得以生长而肌肉得以发达。同样地，我们应该日复一日不断地学习以保持我们敏锐的心智能力，并扩充我们的智力容量。不断的学习提供我们用不尽的燃料，来驱使我们磨利我们的推理、分析和判断的能力。持续的学习是在信息时代中跟时代并驾齐驱的最稳当的方法，也是在变动的世代中成功的可靠保证。
一旦学习停止，单调贫乏的生活就开始了。视学校为汲取知识的唯一场所是种常见的谬误。相反地，学习应该是一种无终止的历程，从生到死。由于世界一直快速地在变动，只要学习停顿数日就将使人
落后。更糟的是，蛰伏在我们潜意识深处的兽性本能就会复活，削弱我们追求高贵理想的意志，弱化我们扫除成功障碍的决心，而且扼杀我们净化我们人格的欲望。缺少学习将不可避免地导致心灵的停滞，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。因此，为了保持心理年轻，我们必须将学习当作一生的事业。
have as yet found no obstacle, no disposition to flag;and it seems that we can go on so forever.we look round in a new world, full of life, and motion, and ceaseleprogress;and feel in ourselves all the vigor and spirit to keep pace with it, and do not foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural course of things, decline into old age, and drop into the grave.it is the simplicity, and as it were abstractedneof our feelings in youth, that(so to speak)identifies us with nature, and(our experience being slight and our passions strong)deludes us into a belief of being immortal like it.our short-lives connection with existence we fondly flatter ourselves, is an indissoluble and lasting union-a honeymoon that knows neither coldness, jar, nor separation.as infants smile and sleep, we are rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies, and lulled into security by the roar of the universe around us0we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the more-objects prearound us, filling the mind with their magnitude and with the strong of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.年轻人不相信自己会死。这是我哥哥的话，可算得一句妙语。青春有一种永生之感——它能弥补一切。人在青年时代好像一尊永生的神明。诚然，生命的一半已以消逝，但蕴藏着不尽财富的另一半还有所保留，我们对它也抱着无穷的希望和幻想。未来的时代完全属于我们——
无限辽阔的远景在我们面前展现
死亡，老年，不过是空话，毫无意义;我们听了，只耳边风，全不放在心上。这些事，别人也许经历过，或者可能要承受，但是我们自己，“在灵符护佑下度日”，对于诸如此类脆弱的念头，统统付之轻蔑的一笑。像是刚刚走上愉快的旅程，极目远眺——
向远方的美景欢呼!此时，但觉好风光应接不暇，而且，前程更有美不胜收的新鲜景致。在这生活的开端，我们听任自己的志趣驰骋，放手给它们一切满足的机会。到此为止，我们还没有碰上过什么障碍，也没有感觉到什么疲惫，因此觉得还可以一直这样向前走去，直到永远。我们看到四周一派新天地——生机盎然，变动不居，日新月异;我们觉得自己活力充盈，精神饱满，可与宇宙并驾齐驱。而且，眼前也无任何迹象可以证明，在大自然的发展过程中，我们自己也会落伍，衰老，进入坟墓。由于年轻人天真单纯，可以说是茫然无知，因而将自己跟大自然划上等号;并且，由于经验少而感情盛，误以为自己也能和大自然一样永世长存。我们一厢情愿，痴心妄想，竟把自己在世上的暂时栖身，当作千古不变、万事长存的结合，好像没有冷淡、争执、离别的密月。像婴儿带着微笑入睡，我们躺在用自己编织成的摇篮里，让大千世界的万籁之声催哄我们安然入梦;我们急切切，兴冲冲地畅饮生命之杯，怎么也不会饮干，反而好像永远是满满欲溢;森罗万象纷至沓来，各种欲望随之而生，使我们腾不出工夫想死亡。
