第一篇：如何写出精彩的英语演讲稿
如何写出精彩的英语演讲稿
当今社会，交流沟通变得异常重要，而公共英语演讲就是其最常见和有效的手段之一。无论是在学习还是工作中，我们会越来越多地接触到公共英语演讲，小到课堂的presentation、工作中的团建，大到学术大会上的发言、总统竞选。那么，如何才能写出精彩的英语演讲稿呢？对于初学者来讲，怎么把握其写作的关键呢？下面，我将从大家熟知并广为推崇的乔布斯XX年斯坦福大学的毕业演讲稿为范本，给大家具体剖析精彩英语演讲稿的写作要点，以帮助大家进一步了解其基本写作要领和指导大家的写作实践。
一、结构清楚，逻辑明晰
由于公共演讲一般受众为数十人甚至数百、数千人，再加上演讲环境的不确定性（比如：观众的欢呼，或者抱怨），最好在进入主题后马上给出所讲内容的逻辑框架，以便听众更好的预判整个演讲内容，有利于他们更好地跟随演讲者的思路，达到良好的演讲效果。比如，乔布斯在该次演讲中，开篇稍微寒暄开篇之后，就进入正题，“today i want to tell you three stories from my life.that's it.no big deal.just three stories.”学生们马上能做出逻辑预判，我们今天会听到乔布斯谈三点，然后具体关注是哪三点，这种演讲就具备了“audience-centeredness”（以观众为中心）的特质。乔布斯在随后的演讲中明确提到，“the first story is about connecting the dots.my second story is about love and loss.my third story is about death.”由于这种明晰的思路，听众在听完之后也会记忆犹新，不会觉得头脑混乱，毫无所得。
当然，演讲稿的逻辑安排有多种方式，乔布斯的这篇演讲是按照topical order（话题顺序）和chronological order（时间顺序）来安排的。除此之外, 还有 spatial order（空间顺序）, problem-solutution order（提问解决顺序）等等。大家可以根据不同的演讲内容来安排自己演讲稿的逻辑顺序和结构。
二、开篇出彩，结尾有道
演讲稿的开篇和结尾往往需要花费大量的功夫去设计，这往往是精彩演讲的亮点所在。因此，在写作时，需要结合受众、场合和演讲内容等，争取一开始就紧紧抓住听众的注意力和兴趣所在，结尾时，尽量做到意味深长、启发思考。下面，我将给大家具体分析基本的开篇和结尾模式，供大家以后写作参考。
开篇的目的是要吸引听众，乔布斯在该篇演讲稿中使用的是“relate the topic to the audience“（关联话题与听众）的方式，这是一种比较有效的方法，人们一般对自己的事情都很关注，和自己相关的事情也会格外留意，乔布斯在开篇说到，“i am honored to be with you today at your
commencement from one of the finest universities in the world.i never graduated from college.truth be told, i never graduated from college.this is the closest i've ever gotten to a college
graduation.”高度赞美斯坦福大学是最好的大学之一，就是在与听众发生关联，让大家产生好感，当然老乔还用了适当的幽默，更好地融洽了与听众的关系，“简洁、有效”本就是乔布斯的演讲风格。除此之外，还有其他的一些开篇方式，我们也需要了解和掌握。1.state the importance of your topic（指出演讲话题的重要性）。直接告诉听众，你的演讲重要在哪里。比如：今天要做的是一场“英语演讲的艺术”的演讲，那开始就直接指出，该演讲对于大家今后的学习工作将会有重大的帮助，甚至给出一些数据和实例，让听众明白不听这个演讲将会是我的损失。这样，听众就会很乐意投入到该次演讲中去。2.startle the audience（使听众震惊）。例如：要做一场关于“生活方式与疾病”的演讲，开篇就可以给出一组极具冲击力的数据，让听众看到生活方式的不健康将会是多么可怕的事情，这样的震惊使听众能够快速调整状态，投入到听演讲中去。3.arouse the curiosity of the audience（引起听众的好奇心）4.question the audience（向观众提问）。5.begin with a quotation（以引用开篇）。6.tell a story（以故事开篇）。这些基本开篇的方式被无数的演讲证明是实用而且有效的。
结尾往往可以起到“画龙点睛”的作用，开篇正文再好，如果结尾过于平淡，整个演讲的精彩程度都会大打折扣。那么如何做到“结尾有道”呢？首
先，我们来看看乔布斯的这篇演讲稿，他的结尾比开篇更加出彩，采用的是“end with a quotation”，达到的效果是特别引人深思。他在结尾说道，“stewart and his team put out several issues of the whole earth catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue.it was the mid-1970s, and i was your age.on the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitch hiking on if you were so
adventurous.beneath it were the words: ”stay hungry.stay foolish.“ it was their farewell message as they signed off.stay hungry.stay foolish.and i have always wished that for myself.and now, as you graduate to begin anew, i wish that for you.stay hungry.stay
foolish.”他不仅在结尾引用这句“stay hungry.stay foolish”（求知若渴，虚怀若谷），而且重复三遍，强化听众的印象，这句话也被广泛传播，被誉为该篇演讲的“精髓”。
在结尾时，可以用结束信号词让听众明白你要准备结尾了，不要让演讲结束得太突兀，比如，“in conclusion”, “let me end my speech by
saying...”, “i'd like to close my speech this way.”等。具体的结尾方式很多，常见的有：1.summarize your speech（总结演讲）。2.make a dramatic statement（强有力的陈述），这个不同于引用他人之言，往往是演讲者自己的沉淀和呐喊，非常经典的演讲是patrick henry's legendary “liberty or death” oration.他在结尾时说道，“is life so dear, or
peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? forbid it, almighty god!i know not what course others may take;but as for mw, give me liberty, or give me death.” 3.refer to the
introduction（首尾呼应）。这是体现演讲内在统一的很经典的形式，值得借鉴。
三、观点阐释，有效支撑
毫无疑问，主体段的信息量最大，写作量也是最大，如何更清晰地阐释演讲者的观点，有效支撑分论点，是写作时应该把握的关键。在明晰了写作逻辑之后，就要围绕这些逻辑要点来展开论证。乔布斯在斯坦福大学的毕业演讲
中，逻辑要点有三：1.the first story is about connecting the dots.2.my second story is about love and loss.3.my third story is about death.他在阐释中主要运用了以下手段。首先，举例子。文中用了大量的例子来说明他怎么对待学习、工作和死亡，比如他说起自己决定辍学然后旁听有意思的课程，这些课当时对他没什么实质的帮助，但是十年后在当他设计第一款macintosh 电脑的时候，这些东西全派上了用场，这个例子充分说明了他要讲的第一个要点--串起生命中的点滴。在随后的文中，乔布斯大量地讲述了他事业生活中的例子，让听众感受到真实的力量和鼓舞。其次，引用。他除了在文章最后用到了引用，文中也不乏引用的痕迹，比如在讲到死亡时，他引用了一句格言，“if you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.”这句话能表明他对于死亡的态度。恰到好处的引用往往能使听众印象深刻。第三，数据。在讲第二个故事--关于爱和失去时，乔布斯用到了一系列数据来支撑观点。他说自己是幸运的，因为，“woz and i started apple in my parents garage when i was 20.we worked hard, and in 10 years apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees.we had just released our finest creation — the macintosh — a year earlier, and i had just turned 30.”数据很直观，能让听众有直接的认识和理解。
除了以上提到的主体段展开方式，还有一些常用的手段，比如：testimony（引证），可以用专家的观点增强演讲的信度，也可以用普通人的一手经验证明自己的观点。另外，大家还需要了解的是，举例分为简短的例子，具体深入的例子和假想的例子；数据包括单一数据，组合数据等等。
如何才能更加有效掌握这些演讲写作的要点呢？我有三点建议：1.多看。多看一些演讲素材，比如名人演讲，演讲比赛优秀选手的演讲等，积累大量的一手素材，当然也有必要阅读关于英语公共演讲的书籍，本人非常推荐
stephen e.lucas的《演讲的艺术》。2.多想。学会分析这些演讲之所以精彩的原因，可以从我上面讲的几点入手。3.多练。在有一定积淀和感觉之后，就要大量练习写作演讲稿，话题可以从日常学习和工作中选取，实用性要强，这样练起来更有兴趣和成就感。最后，大家要明白一点，好的公共演讲除了演讲稿要好，还有别的很多因素绝不可忽视，比如：语言质量，肢体语言，视觉辅助，语音语调，临场反应，现场把控能力等，这些结合在一起才能最终让你成为一个优秀的公共演讲者。

My Hometown—Inner Mongolia
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, today, I would like to introduce my beloved hometown—Inner Mongolia to all of you.It has been 57 years since the birth of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on May 1st, 1947.Dominated by the Mongolian nationality, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is located on the northern frontier of China.The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region occupies an area of 1.18 million square kilometers and has a population of about 20 million people who represent a score of different nationalities.Every time when people talk about Inner Mongolia, they’ll come down to the vast grassland.Yes, the Inner Mongolian prairie area makes up a quarter of the total grassland area of the country.On the boundless expanse of the Inner Mongolian prairie are living numerous sheep, Cattle and horses, on which our Mongolian have lived for generations.That is why the grassland is eulogized as ―cradle of life‖.There are two vast grasslands in my hometown—Hulun Buir Grasslands and Xilin Gol Grasslands which are both world-famous regions.People in Inner Mongolia are famous for their bravery, enthusiasm and hospitality.No mater where you are from, as long as you come to a herdsman’s house, you will be warmly entertained with roasted whole lamb and milk tea, and what’s more, you can also appreciate beautiful Mongolian songs and elegant dances.It is not exaggerating to say Mongolians are born singers and dancers.The moment you set your feet on the grassland areas you will discover it is indeed a real land of songs and dances.Today’s Inner Mongolia still maintains her ethnic characteristics and at the dame time, she tries to keep pace with the development of the modern world.Ordus is a worldwide well-known brand, Yili and Mengniu are both the famous dairy industries, which have greatly improved the living standard of our Mongolian people.And I’m sure, our Mongolian people will make great effort to contribute to our hometown.As a college student, I know quite clearly that my mission is to master solid knowledge and one day do good to my beloved hometown.我的家乡——内蒙古
早上好，女士们先生们，今天我想给大家介绍一下我的家乡——内蒙古。内蒙古自治区区自1947年5月1日成立以来，已有57年的历史了。坐落在中国北部边陲的内蒙古自治区是一个以蒙古族为主的地区。它拥有118万平方公里的土地面积，2000万来自不同民族的人民共同居住在这里。
每当人们谈到内蒙古都会想到辽阔的草原，是的，内蒙古的草原面积占全国总草原面积的1/4。成群的羊儿，牛儿和马儿生活在这片无边无际的草原上，是它们养育了世世代代的草原儿女，因此，草原也被赞颂为―生命的摇篮‖。我们的家乡有两大世界著名的草原——呼伦贝尔大草原和锡林郭勒大草原。蒙古族是一个勇敢、热情、好客的民族，如果你去到牧民的家里，无论你来自哪儿，热情的牧民都会用烤全羊和奶茶款待你，同时，你还可以欣赏到优美的蒙古族歌舞。蒙古族人民天生能歌善舞，这一点儿也不夸张，在你踏上草原的那一刻，你就会发现这确实是一片歌舞的海洋。
今天的内蒙古仍然保留着她的民族特色，同时，她还时刻紧跟时代的步伐。鄂尔多斯是闻名世界的知名品牌，伊利和蒙牛两大乳业集团是内蒙古经济发展的支柱产业。我相信，草原人民一定会继续努力为家乡的发展做出贡献，作为一名大学生，我会掌握好扎实的知识，回报我可爱的家乡。

I can hadle 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.Now I work as an English teacher in a middle school.Whenever my students complain about their difficulties in study or want to give up, 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。
现在我在一所中学教英语，每当学生们报怨学习的困难或是想放弃时，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。

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!
As it turned out, my dear old professor was right.Now, 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！
老教授是对的。我发挥出了自己的水平，一路杀进了全国总决赛。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。

Knowledge collaboration and all-round education
Ladies and gentlemen，We engineering students take it for granted that technology is changing incredibly fast.We are thinking nervously and seriously whether our colleges are failing to provide a foundation in the skills currently needed in industry.Take my major telecommunications for example.Scientists say that 21st century is a biomedical time, not an electrical time.But without the help of electronic data processing and transformation, biomedical technology alone cannot go too far.Funny enough, the word biomedical itself is just a combination of two disciplines.So the interdisciplinary exploitation serves as the critical part for our electric and electronics world as well as any other fields to find new way of being.But the power of knowledge collaboration is certainly not restricted to science and engineering;it is in the full community of learning.Walking around campus I absorbed a reality that there is a seamless web between students from different professional backgrounds.The engineering students are discussing animatedly in a philosophy lecture, speaking passionately in the public speaking club, and looking for sparkling ideas from learning history and arts.How wonderful that is!That, ladies and gentleman, is just a significant step forward to be well-rounded because once we jump out of the circle we can see the bigger picture.My friends, I hope that you have already got what university is all about.Please let me end my speech with the Nobel Prize winner Li Zhengdao’s words: ―The realization of the perfect combination of science and engineering, science and arts, technology and humanity，is the greatest symbol of a university’s success.‖ Thank you.知识的融合和人才的全面发展
我们理工科的学生都知道科技在以一种难以置信的速度变化发展着。我们都在紧张和严肃地思考着是否我们的大学能够为我们提供一个适应当前工业需要的知识基础。以我的专业通信工程为例，科学家们说21世纪是生物医学的世纪，而不是电气电子的世纪。但是如果没有电子化的数据处理和转换，生物医学时代就不能发展。有趣的是：―生物医学‖这个词本身就是两个学科的结合，所以跨学科的开发手段就成了电气电子领域以及其他任何领域寻找新出路的关键。
但是知识的结合不仅仅局限在科学和工程中，而是在任何的学习中。徜徉在校园里，我看到了这样一个事实：理工科学生们在哲学讲座上讨论得热火朝天，在演讲俱乐部里激情地演说，在历史和艺术里寻找着闪光的思想。太棒了！朋友们，这就是我们能够全面发展的重要一步，因为当我们跳出自己的圈子时，我们能看到更大的图画。
朋友们，我希望你们已经意识到了大学教育究竟意味着什么。让我以诺贝尔奖获得者李政道先生的话结束我的演讲：―科学与工程，科学与艺术，科技与人道的完美结合，乃是大学教育的最大成功。‖
谢谢。
The Future Is Now-The Choice is yours大学生英语演讲稿

The Future Is Now-The Choice is yours
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.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
十八、冯锦月，21岁，江西
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 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 星沙英语网
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.尽管容貌和天资都是上苍给予,而人生旅途中的坎坷与荆棘我们也无法预计,那就让我们热爱生命,拥有梦想,珍惜希望吧.每日清晨梦醒,我们都被赋予了选择生活的权利.而我会让一切从愉快开始.The House Debates Health Reform-大学生英语演讲范文
Good afternoon, everybody.I just want to say a few words about the landmark vote that the House of Representatives is poised to（随时准备着）take today--a vote that can bring us one step closer to making real the promise of quality, affordable（支付得起）health care for the American people.For the better part of a year now, members of the House and the Senate have been working diligently（勤奋地）and constructively to craft legislation that will benefit millions of American families and millions of American businesses who urgently need it.For the first time ever, they've passed bills through every single committee responsible for reform.They've brought us closer than we have ever been to passing health insurance reform on behalf of the American people.Now is the time to finish the job.The bill that the House has produced will provide stability and security for Americans who have insurance;quality, affordable options for those who don't;and lower costs for American families and American businesses.And as I've insisted from the beginning, it is a bill that is fully paid for and will actually reduce our long-term federal deficit（赤字，不足）.This bill is change that the American people urgently need.Don't just take my word for it.Consider the national groups who've come out in support of this bill on behalf of their members: The Consumers Union supports it because it will create--and I quote--”a more secure, affordable health care system for the American people."
The American Medical Association and the American Nurses Association support it on behalf of doctors and nurses and medical professionals who know firsthand what's broken in our current system, and who see what happens when their patients can't get the care they need because of insurance industry bureaucracies（官僚政治）.The National Farmers Union supports this bill because it will control costs for farmers and ranchers（牧场主）, and address the unique challenges rural Americans face when it comes to receiving quality care.And the AARP supports it because it will achieve the goal for which the AARP has been fighting for decades--reducing the cost of health care, expanding coverage for America's seniors, and strengthening Medicare for the long haul.Now, no bill can ever contain everything that everybody wants, or please every constituency（选区）and every district.That's an impossible task.But what is possible, what's in our grasp right now is the chance to prevent a future where every day 14,000 Americans continue to lose their health insurance, and every year 18,000 Americans die because they don't have it;a future where crushing costs keep small businesses from succeeding and big businesses from competing in the global economy;a future where countless dreams are deferred or scaled back because of a broken system we could have fixed when we had the chance.What we can do right now is choose a better future and pass a bill that brings us to the very cusp（尖头，尖端）of building what so many generations of Americans have sought to build--a better health care system for this country.Millions of Americans are watching right now.Their families and their businesses are counting on us.After all, this is why they sent us here, to finally confront the challenges that Washington had been putting off for decades--to make their lives better, to leave this country stronger than we found it.I just came from the Hill where I talked to the members of Congress there, and I reminded them that opportunities like this come around maybe once in a generation.Most public servants pass through their entire careers without a chance to make as important a difference in the lives of their constituents and the life of this country.This is their moment, this is our moment, to live up to the trust that the American people have placed in us--even when it's hard;especially when it's hard.This is our moment to deliver.I urge members of Congress to rise to this moment.Answer the call of history, and vote yes for health insurance reform for America.

演讲稿台词
一、出语惊人
如果你想迅速吸引你的听众，那么在演讲开场白，你可以描绘一个异乎寻常的场面，或透露一个触目惊心的数据，或栩栩如生地描述一个耸人听闻的事情，造成“此言一出，举座皆惊”的艺术效果，这样，听众不仅会蓦然凝神，而且还会侧耳细听，更多地寻求你的讲话内容，探询你演讲的原因。
二、设置悬念
人都有好奇的天性。在开场白中制造悬念，能激发听众的强烈兴趣和好奇心，在适当的时候解开悬念，使听众的好奇心得到满足，也使演讲前后照应，浑然一体。
三、巧用修辞
精彩的演讲必须有精美的语言包装，要想语言生动活泼，就要发挥修辞的作用。在意境方面，用比喻、夸张、设问、反问、借代等修辞手法，调剂语言韵味，让听众听得有趣;在形式方面，用对偶、排比等整齐的句式来增强演讲的气势，让听众听得振奋。
四、引用名言典故
演讲开场白如果恰到好处地引用富有哲理的名人语录，不失时机地抛出寓意深刻的典故，演讲就会有声势有威力。

第五篇：精彩英语演讲稿60篇
精彩英语演讲稿60篇
My Dream Everyone has his own dream, which can be realized or not and which can be different from time to time.However, there must be a long –term one in one’s mind.In other words, it is not easy to be realized.I have a dream: to pass CET-6 before I graduate from the university.It’s maybe easy for most of my classmates, but to me it is as difficult as cracking the hardest nut in the world.I have been studying English for about 10 years.It should not be the No.1 task in my university agenda, but too many failures forced me to do so.I entered one of the most famous universities in China with the almost lowest English mark among all my students.I was really disappointed about that.Although I was not good at English when I was in the middle school, it was not at least about the average.I had no strength to face the frustration.After a semester’s study I was the lowest indeed.I have never cried for study before, but this time I shed tears.Since then I made up my mind to pass CET-6 before my graduation.Glanced back to my English studying experience, I realized that interest is one of the key factors to grasp knowledge.I study English only for the examination before, but not the language itself.That is the weakest point of me.I must overcome it so as to realize my dream.I made a plan: read one story until I can recite it each day;listen to the tapes related to the books as well.English is not so disgusting for me now.I will persist in doing so even after I pass CET-6.I wish my English would be as good as my native language in the future.2.What Is Happiness What is happiness? Perhaps different people have different views on happiness.Some people think that material satisfaction would bring happiness.But in fact they have overlooked the fact that true happiness comes from the realization of what you have done in your part in advancement of other people’s life as well as your own.Some people try every means to make money at the expense of others interests.These people harm others to benefit themselves.They think the great sum of money they make, the happier they will be.On the contrary, some people think that spiritual satisfaction is the greatest happiness.They do everything for the people.They live, work, and sacrifice their life for the people.In my opinion, I believe, one’s value lies in the value of serving the people, the country and the whole society.I am sure those who make contributions, big or small, to our country will be regarded as the happiest people.They should be recognized and respected.The point is what you can do, but not how people look on you.It is how much you contribute, not how much you gain.I think this is the true meaning of life that everyone of us should have.3.My View on Honesty Honesty is the long-lasting virtue of people all over the world.Likewise, it is also one of the deeply-held values of the Chinese people.Some people believe that in the market economy, honesty tends to be obsolete.In my opinion, honesty will never be out of date no matter what the situation might be.Firstly, honesty has been treasured and honest people have been respected throughout history in all parts of the world.People everywhere would regard honesty as a virtue and hate a dishonest person.Secondly, honesty is the basis of interactions among people.People should treat each other sincerely and open their hearts to each other.Only in this way can the relationship among the people be natural.Thirdly, in the market economy, some people try to get more money at the cost of honesty.To them, a best businessman is one who can cheat most tactfully.Even in this kind of society, honesty is deeply valued by most people.We can see that not only in history, but also at the present day, honesty was and is valued by the majority of the people and the virtue will not perish so easily.4.Preserving Our Environment Man is slowly polluting his environment.He dirties the air with waste gases;he poisons the water with chemical wastes;he damages the soil with fertilizers.Pollution does great harm to man.As we know, air, water, and soil are necessary to man’s survival.Polluted air, water and soil make people sick and even cause deaths.Environmental pollution is becoming one of the most serious problems that mankind faces.Now it’s high time that drastic action be taken.First we should make the public aware of the dangers caused by pollution.Second, we should take pollution control measures to reduce pollution.Third, we should keep our pollution under control.After all, the earth is our home.We must take care of it for ourselves and our descendants.5.Foreign Investment Thanks to the open policy in China, more and more foreign businessmen have come to invest, building new factories, mines and other business enterprises, or enlarging and improving old ones.Foreign investment is important in that it supplements the economy of our country.It has the advantage of importing foreign capital, technology, talents, advanced equipment and methods of management.Ours is a country of vast territory, abounding in natural resources and labor force.Foreign investment can help to explore the resources and make use of the labor force, thus giving our strong points to play.In a word, foreign investment may improve our economy.Of course foreign investment is of mutual benefit.The foreign businessmen can also reap profits, otherwise they would not come to invest.To attract more foreign investment, we must maintain the country’s political stability to bring about a good investment environment.Meanwhile we should carry out some good policies, which makes the foreign businessmen believe that to invest in China does pay.6．No Pains, No Gains It is obvious to everybody that the only way to achieve one’s goal is to work hard.Just as the old saying goes ― no mill, no meal‖.Have you ever seen a man who succeeds just by idling about? Of course, the answer is ―No‖.So we know if you want to gain something, you will have pains.The farmers harvest by a year of arduous work;the scientists gain achievements by years of devoted researches;students get good marks by working hard;even the little ants have their food by working hard day and night.I know there are always some people who wait for the opportunities falling on them.They may attribute their failures to lack of good chances.Therefore, there are so many people gaining nothing at last.Clever men know that the more effort they make, the bigger chance they will have to be successful.So, when others achieve their aspirations and you will gain nothing, don’t complain about the unfair fate and don’t give up, either.Remember: no pains, no gains.7.Practice Makes Perfect The saying that ―practice makes perfect‖ means that after you have plenty of practice in what you are doing, you will be perfect in it.He who practices a lot will master the skill more quickly than he who seldom or hardly practices.For example, when we learn English, we have to learn grammar, words, expressions and so on.The most important thing may be how to put what we have learned into practice.If you only learn the grammar rules by heart and don’t do enough exercises, it is certain that you can’t understand them perfectly.But if you practice a lot, maybe you will understand them more deeply and you can find some good methods of applying them.Memorizing English words whenever time permits, we can easily memorize them and can even find a way to memorize them more quickly.There is another example.A famous singer can sing very well.Of course, his talent is very important, but practice is necessary.It is necessary to practice to make the singer sing better and better.It is evident that practice is important for everybody.If you want to improve you study and work, you should remember that practice makes perfect.8.My View On Following The Fashion Nowadays more and more young people prefer to follow the fashion.On this phenomenon, different people have different views.It is held that one should follow the fashion so as not to be despised or considered eccentric.But it is also held that one should have one’s own judgment.Those who hold the first opinion think that society is progressing and one should adapt oneself to the constant change.In their opinion, if everyone always sticks to the old fashion, there won’t be any change and naturally there won’t be progress.In contrast, those who hold the second view think that one shouldn’t follow the fashion without discrimination and one should have one’s own judgment and characteristics.As for me, I agree with the latter opinion.Admittedly, one should be flexible and adapt himself to the situation, but this is not to say that one should follow the fashion without discrimination because the fashion may not be beneficial.We should consider whether the fashion is favorable or unfavorable.Moreover, one should have one’s own characteristics.If everyone follows the same fashion, there will not be variety and the whole society will be monotonous.9.Why Do We Learn English The English language has become an international language, because it is used by people in the most countries in the world now.In the open times, if you want to do business with foreigners, you must learn English because most of them speak and write in English, English is one of the working languages at international meetings today, most of valuable books are written in English, if you know much English, you will read newspapers and magazines in English and learn a lot of knowledge about interaction better.You also can do what you should do for the world peace.English is very important to us, but many students don’t know why he should learn it.I hope that all the students should pay more attention to English study and use it freely.10.On talents
Why did some people become world-famous and admired by millions of others? Were they really mote talented than other people? Or did they succeed through hard work?
In my opinion, talents play a less important role than hard work in people’s studies or work.First of all, if we work hard, we can make good use of our talents.As is known to all, Madame Curie won the Nobel Prize twice for her great scientific discoveries.She achieved her success by making experiments one after another.Besides, hard work can cultivate our talents.Edison, the inventor of light, was said to be stupid when he was young.By making great efforts in his work, he become more and more clever and succeeded in his work.in fact, we can all get ahead in our studies or work through hard work.In short, in our studies and work, talents are not so important as hard work.Working had, our talents can be fully made use of and well cultivated.11.A Famous Speech I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed----we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood.I have a dream my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.I have a dream today!When we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and hamlet, from every state and city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children----black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Catholics and Protestants----will be able to join hands and to sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual.―Free at last, free at last.Thank God Almightly, we are free at last.‖
By Martin Luther King,JR(US)参考译文: 我有一个梦：有一天，这个国家将站起来，并实现他信条的真正含义：我们将捍卫这些不言而喻的真理，即所有人生来平等。我有一个梦：有一天，在佐治亚洲红色的山丘上，从前奴隶的子孙们能和奴隶主的子孙们像兄弟一样坐在同一张桌旁；我有一个梦：我的四个孩子有一天将生活在这样一个国度，在那里，人们不是以肤色，而是以品格来评价他们。当自由的钟声响起的时候，当我们让它在从每一个村庄，每一个州，每一个城市响起的时候，我们将能够加速这一天的到来。那时，上帝所有的孩子，无论是黑人、白人，还是犹太人、异教徒，天主教徒或是新教徒，他们都能手挽手歌唱那古老的黑人圣歌：―终于自由了，终于自由了，感谢上帝，我们终于自由了！‖ ——[美] 马丁 路德 金
12.How to Make Friends Everyone needs friends.A friend can give us help and share our difficulties and happiness.But how can we make friends? First, to make friends, you must be friendly to others.Smile at others and you are sure to get a smile in return.You should try to make a stranger feel at home wherever he happens to be.Think more of others than of yourself and never judge a person by his appearance and clothes.Second, friends should negotiate instead of quarrel.When you don’t agree someone, please discuss with him.Finally, never believe in those who leave you when you are in trouble.And never leave your friend when he is in trouble.Remember, a friend in need is a friend indeed.Friends should be faithful to each other.So long as you can put your friend’s interests in front of yours, you will have a lot of good friends.13.Habits Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed.When a person does a certain thing again and again, he’ll be obliged to do it in the same way by some unseen force.Thus habit is formed.Once a habit is formed, it is difficult and sometimes almost impossible to get rid of it.Therefore, it is very important that we should take care in the formation of habits.Good habits have many advantages.Going to bed early and getting up early makes us healthy.Diligence helps to succeed.Honesty helps win the respect and trust of others.If we form bad habits, such as rudeness, laziness, lying and stealing, we might be mined by them.We ought to keep away from bad habits and try to acquire habits good for ourselves and others.14.On Confidence As we all know, ―failure is the mother of success.‖ But I just want to say ―success is the baby of confidence.‖
First of all, confidence makes us happier in our life.Life is like a wonderful song, a bright and colorful painting.If confidence is with us in our life, we will find that life really becomes richer and more interesting.Then, confidence makes us brave and courageous.If we lack confidence in ourselves, how can we overcome difficulties we meet with? If we have no confidence in ourselves, how can we succeed in developing ourselves in the future? Without confidence, nothing can be accomplished.Finally, I would like to use the following words as our mutual encouragement: ―if you think you can, you can.‖
15.Train Travel or Air Travel Air travel has two advantages over train travel.First, it can save much time.We can fly from Beijing to Guangzhou just in two hours, but by train, we have to spend 24 hours or more.Second, air travel is more comfortable, because the plane flies so smoothly that we can rest well during the trip, while the train is crowded sometimes and passengers have to sit for a long time, which makes them tired.But train travel also has its advantages.For example, traveling by train costs only 250 yuan while traveling by air will cost 900 yuan.Besides this, outside of the train’s windows, we can enjoy the views of many big cities, such as Zhengzhou, Wuhan, and Changsha.So I think different people like different ways of traveling.16.Social Practice in Education It is a common weak point among today’s college students that the majority of them have little knowledge of social reality.Social practice is a bridge between their theory and reality.Timely participation in social practice will benefit them all through their life.Social practice must become an organic component of the nation’s higher education.If so, students are sure to learn more than their textbooks.Their participation in social practice and knowledge of society they learn and national conditions might strengthen their sense of social responsibility;their close contact with the working people might help them to apply their knowledge to the solution to the practical problem.In recent years, many college students have been sent to the basic level to keep in contact with workers and farmers.The process has proved effective in enriching their knowledge of reality.So social practice is very important for college students.17.The Importance of confidence Whatever one does, one should do it with confidence.If one has no confidence, there is little possibility that one would ever achieve anything, especially when one is faced with drawbacks or hardships.This truth seems to be evident.However, in reality we do see a lot of people who complain that they like the ability to do something or that their difficulties are too great to be overcome.For someone, this might be true.But for many others, this only shows that they have lost heart.Why do people often feel frustrated even though they are capable of doing something? There are, among others, two main reasons.First, these people do have a correct estimate of themselves.Second, they overestimate the difficulties.It is possible to build up faith in oneself by having the right attitude towards one’s abilities.We should never underestimate one’s abilities.But believe in the proverb: ―Where there is a will, there is a way.‖ Confidence is the promise for fulfilling a task successfully.18.Making good use of time
A famous American poet says well, ―Life is short, art is long.‖ Everyone should work hard and study well.Never waste any time.Now we are young, it’s high time for all of us to make up our minds to study for our county.Youth time is like a happy bird.If it flew away, it would never return.Nothing is more precious than time.Today some students spend too much time enjoy their lives such as eating, clothing, traveling and so on.Others spend too much time reading books of small value and little importance.A lot of time has been wasted.They have no idea that waste of time means wasting of one’s life.While we are young and full of vigor, let’s work hard.19.Failue and success Failure is a common thing in one’s life.Almost everyone experience failure in his life.When one fails in his attempt in doing something, he often feels upset.Some people may yield to failure and flinch from it.But others will stick to and achieve the final success.Success is what everyone expects.It may lead to fame and glory.When one success in doing something, he gets so excited that he often neglects all the successful attempts he has done.As the old saying says, ‖Failure teaches success.‖ It is true that failure is an important factor towards success.The way to success is full of various difficulties and obstacles.Many important inventions or discoveries were achieved after hundreds of failure.And only those successes which have been achieved after many failures are really valuable and praiseworthy.20.Travel A succession of beautiful scenery makes one feel delighted.A long stay in the same surroundings seems to make everything the same.Routine work often makes one bored.But if you take a trip or a long journey on your holidays to some scenic sports or historic sites, that will make great difference.Travel can widen one’s knowledge.The farther you go, the more you will learn about different politics, economics, customs as well as geography.If you travel the whole world some day, you will fully understand the globe on which we live.However, too much travel causes tiredness.You get on a taxi or a bus, you travel on a train or in a plane, being patient with the hours needed on your route from one place to another, that will make you exhausted after a while.21.Smile Before you do everything, smile first.When you need some help, you should say:―Excuse me.‖ At the same time, if you show your unhappy face, he will be unhappy too.How can you get the help while he has no pleasure? So show your smile, and you will get his help.In fact, smile is a difficult job.It seems very difficult for you to smile when you are sad.Don’t be afraid.Make up your mind to try once, only once, and you will find that you are much better in heart.Smile is also a kind of language which cannot be heard by anyone, but persons always know its meaning.When you meet your friends in the morning, smile means ― Good morning!‖ When you fail, the friend’s smile means ― Have another try!‖ So when you smile.Although you don’t say any word, you can understand each other.Remember to smile, and happy life you’ll get, I think!
22.The Value Of Reading Books People often say that gold and silver are the most valuable things in the world.But I don’t think so.In my opinion, to read books is more valuable than anything else.The old saying : ―To open a book is always helpful ‖ clearly shows us how good it is to read a book.Books are our friends.They introduce us different kinds of knowledge.They lead us down the road to success.Books are our teachers.They teach us truth, science, literature, and philosophy of life.Besides, they increase our knowledge, enlarge our experience, strengthen our character and do many other things which we can not do without them.We have to learn as long as we live.But our life is limited, and the knowledge is boundless.There are many things which are very necessary to learn and there also many things which should be avoided.Books tell us what is good and what is evil.And only books can tell the good from the bad.Therefore to read more books is the best policy for our young students.23.An Opening Speech Ladies and gentlemen, Boys and girls，We are very happy to gather here to hold an English evening party.First of all, let me introduce our distinguished guest tonight: Mr.Chen, the secretary of the CPC, Committee of our school.And I would also like to take this opportunity to wish Mr.Smith to enjoy his stay at our school and all present to have a wonderful time tonight.Now let’s invite Mr.Li to say a few words to us.(Li’s speech)
Thank you, Mr.Li.Now it’s time for us to have performance.For this evening party, all the classes have made careful preparations.So I’m sure we’ll be able to enjoy many excellent performances tonight.The first item is a group dance given by Class 3.Senior 2.Now let’s give them warm applause.24.My Friend One of my friends is a beautiful and clever girl whose name is Li Hua.With rosy cheeks, she has a pair of bright eyes, which shine below her arch eyebrows.Within her small mouth there are two lines of white teech.Her hair is straight and long, hanging down to her shoulders.She is healthy and attractive.She is very diligent in her lessons.She always gets good marks in the examinations.Her teachers like her very much.She can also play the piano and sing sweet songs.In every new year’s party in class she is always asked to play for her classmates.She is loved by her classmates.25.The Greatest Love It was a bit cold today.It kept raining from noon.Some students looked at the heavy rain and said some angry words in the classroom because they didn’t take raincoats with them.The rain got heavier and heavier.There were still many students left in the classroom.When I was going to home I found a familiar umbrella in the rain.I cried, ― Mother, I am here.‖ Mother ran into my classroom with several raincoats in her hands.―Don’t be afraid, kids.There are some raincoats here.I’ve borrowed them from my neighbors.‖ All of my classmates cheers.I couldn’t help kissing my mother’s face.I am proud that I have such a good mother.Her love is the greatest love in the world.26.A Pleasant Memory Of My Childhood I am eighteen years old now, but the recollection of the fun and amusement is like a sweet dream.One Sunday, our family went to climb the beautiful Shushan Hill.My father told my elder sister and me that the first one to get to the top would be given a toy.We jumped with joy.We started to run up.At first I took the lead.A few minutes later I was breathless and my sister was ahead of me.The soft masses of the waving grass, and the drowsy, balmy air all sent their warm invitation for me to rest.But I followed my thirst for the toy and continued climbing.At last I reached the top first.There we enjoyed the fascinating view and have a picnic.At about two o’clock we danced our way down the hill with joy in our hearts, and I felt happier than the other because I got a toy train.27.Quiting Smoking Father used to be a heavy smoker.He always smoked when he was watching TV, reading newspapers and so on.Mother and I had advised him to quit smoking many times.Though he knew smoking was harmful to health, he still said that smoking could make his head sober when he was sleepy.This lasted for a long time until one thing happening one day changed his mind.One day, when we were having supper, a loud cry from our neighbor’s house reached us.We didn’t know what had happened, so father decide to go to the neighbor’s room to have a look.After a while, he came home and told us in an upset voice, ― Mr.Wang died several minutes ago.‖ ―Why?‖ mother asked.Father didn’t answer but picked out all of his cigarettes and threw them away.Later on, we knew Mr.Wang died from over smoking.This evening, father promised to us, ―I will never smoke again.‖
28.My Beautiful Home Village My home village is a beautiful ancient village far from the town.There is no hill, but a clear brook arcs around the village, making half of the village like a peninsula.When I am away from home, my village is always in my mind.On one side of the brook, there are farmlands stretching as far as the eyes can see with farmers busy in the fields.The sun shines brightly through the pure, fresh air.After dark, I like to roam around the fields along foot-paths.The feeling was excellent.On the other side of the brook, there are many trees that are old and tall.There are lots of green bamboo groves that are young and full of life.The trees offer nice shade in the summer, and birds like singing in them.The bamboos sway gently in the fresh sunny breeze.The brook runs calmly and quietly through all this greenness, making a very nice picture.This is my home village, with the brook, trees, bamboos and farmlands so beautifully knit together.It is far away in the country, but always with me, wherever I am.29.The Great Wall The Great Wall of China is considered to be the only man-made project visible from the moon.Although it was once built entirely during the Qin Dynasty between 221 and 208 BC, it is now believed to have started earlier.The 15-foot-high, 25-foot-wide, 1500-mile-long structure was undoubtedly built to keep out invading enemies.To the common people of the empire, who had been forced to build the wall, it was not worth it, As a result, an angry population rose up in rebellion against the Qin Dynasty, and in 207 BC the Han Dynasty began.Because of its rich history and magnificent appearance, the Great Wall attracts tourists, scientists, and historians to this day and will continue to do so for generations.30.Work and Rest Jack, a middle school student, used to work hard at all his lessons.Every day he got up earliest and went to bed lastest of the family.He never accepted his classmates’ invitation to outdoor activities.Sometimes , his parents, worrying about his health, advised him to have a rest and relax himself by watching TV, but he wouldn’t follow them, being bent on his books.Finally he fell ill and had to stay in hospital for several weeks.Now Jack is in poor health.Though he comes to school every day, he doesn’ t do so well as before in his studies.From Jack’s story, we can see that health is very important.We can even say that nothing is more valuable than health.It is the foundations of one ’s success.If you become sick, it is nearly impossible to go on with your education, much less make your dreams come true.On the other hand, if you are strong, you can go all out to overcome the obstacles lie ahead of you.Now that we know health is very important.How to keep fit? First, we should spare some time to take exercise every day to strengthen our muscles.Second, we must go to bed earlier and get up earlier.If we get up early, we can breathe fresh air and make our heads wiser.In conclusion, health is no less important than working hard for a man.So we should, on one hand, work hard, and on the other hand, pay attention to health.31.A Happy Family I have a happy family.Though there is only a little furniture in my home and everything in the rooms seems rather disorderly, but I love my home very much.My father is an engineer, nearly fifty years old.As a party member, quite often he works late into the night.He simply forgets himself when he is reading.Once when having supper, I found that the soup tasted watery.It soon became clear that my father being deep in his reading, had forgotten to put salt in the soup.I have a kind mother.She is a primary school teacher.She loves her pupils and her job very much, putting all her heart into her work.All our clothes were made by tailors, for she is too busy to sew for us.As a housewife, she has to do almost all the housework.So she is the busiest one in our family.We all keep a lot of books and we love reading.During our leisure time, reading is our main hobby.Evening is the happiest hour in our family.We usually sit in my parents’ room, reading and discussing everything we’re interested in.I love my family.It not only gives me much happiness and warmth but also teaches me how to be a real man.32.Application Ms.Lili P.O.Box 222 Bejing Jun 6, 2005
Dear Sirs, I have just read in the newspaper that a secretary of the English language is wanted in your company.I am therefore writing to introduce myself to you.I’d like to get the Part-time job.I am female senior student of 17 years old.My name is Lili.I am studying in the language department.I can speak, read and write English well.As a second foreign language, I can read and speak a little Japanese.I have some working experience as a typist during my spare time at school, and as a tourist guide during summer holidays.The bosses I worked for all satisfied with my work.I am sure I’ll satisfy you as well.You can get more information about my study and work from the college.I can visit your office at any time for a talk or a test.Faithfully, Lili 33.Computer As we all know, the computer was one of the greatest and most advanced inventions of the 20 the century.It has been widely used in almost every field.It has come into our life.I have a computer and I like it very much.Every day I use my computer to search for information that is useful for my study.I can find information about all subjects and it is also of great help to my English study.Besides, from the computer I can get the latest news and enjoy popular songs.In my spare time, I use it to send E-mails to my friends who are far away.It makes me feel that they are close to me.In a word, the computer can offer me great help in my life and my study.It is my best friend.34.Autumn
Autumn is the third season of the year.The days in autumn are getting shorter and shorter, and the weather is getting cooler and cooler.Only second to spring, autumn is a very pretty season.These is a touch of romance in the glorious hues of falling leaves and the ripened colour of Nature!The fields are waving with yellow corn, and the trees change their colour from a bright green to muddy brown.The country is full of red and gold in the autumn.Even the sun seems to veil nature with more glorious lustre in the autumn days.There is a touch of sadness in autumn too.Towards the end of the season, the trees begin to lose their foliage, and the branches gradually become bare;all around, the ground is strewed with withered leaves.So autumn may be compared to old age.Autumn is the time for us to gather the fruits of our labor, it reminds us of the saying ― As a man sows, so he shall reap!
35.China
China is in the east of Asia.Its neighbours in the landmass are twelve countries, such as Russia, India, Vietnam, etc.It faces the Pacific Ocean.It covers more than 9.6 million square kilometres.There are many large rivers in China.Among them the Changjiang River and the Yellow River are the longest and most important.China has twenty-eight provinces and autonomous regions and four cities directly under the central government.There are two Special Administrations-the HongKong Special Administration and the Macao Special Administration.Besides Taiwan will be unified in the future.China has the largest population in the world.The number of people living there is already over 1.3 billion now.The Chinese nation is made up of 56 nationalities.Among them Han is the largest, making up 94% of the whole.It has a long history of more than 5000 years.China is a developing country.The Chinese people are working hard to realize the four modernization in the future.36.The City I Like Best
I have been to several cities.Hangzhou is the one I like best.Hangzhou is a beautiful city.The West Lake with mountains all around is the prettiest part.It takes on a different look with the change of seasons.In spring, the path around the lake is lined with green trees and pink peach flowers.It fills me with strength and energy.In summer, sitting by the quiet and peaceful lake with green lotus leaves and white or pink lotus flowers everywhere, I forget all my worries.When I step on the golden leaves in autumn, it gives me a feeling of good harvest.In winter, the trees and paths covered with white snow bring me a pure and noble feeling.The whole city is just like a big garden.No wonder it’s compared to the paradise on earth.In addition, there are many places of interest worth visiting.Therefore, I like Hangzhou better than any other city.37.Water
Water is very important for living things.Without water there can be no life on earth.All animals and plants need water.Man also needs water.Water is found almost everywhere.Even in the driest part of the world there is some water in the air.Water, which you have found out, may be a solid, or a liquid or a gas.When it is a solid, it may be as hard as a brick.When it is a liquid, you can pour it out from a container.When it is gas, you cannot see it or feel it.Although about 70 percent of the earth’s surface is covered by water, there are many places in the world still running out of water.So we should make good use of water on earth.38.The Telephone
The telephone is one of the most welcome and useful inventions.No wonder more and more families have got to use their own telephone today.The telephone makes things easy in many ways.Especially, after the mobile telephone appears, communication becomes easier and rapider.To students and people going out for business far away from their homes, the telephone can shorten the distance between them and their families.Thus they will get comfort whenever they are homesick or they run into trouble.With the help of the telephone, people can keep in touch with anyone at any time and in any place for urgent help.In such a case, the telephone is especially important.When we read an advertisement in a newspaper or watch it on TV, we can ask for more information about the product through the telephone and even place an order.All in all, the telephone is so helpful that we can say that nowadays we can not live without the telephone in our daily life.We will further improve the performance of the telephone so as to create better conditions for its development.39.The Happy Summer Holidays
August 28 the Saturday Fine On July 5 th I went to my hometown for the summer holidays.My hometown is a small village in Yanjin.Only my grandpa and my grandma live there.When I got home that day, they were very happy to see me.―You have grown so tall.When a handsome boy!‖ they said with a smile.The next day, some friends of my age came to our house to see me.They liked playing games with me.One day, they followed me to the orchard by the village.The owner gave us some apples which tasted fairly delicious.We had a good time.There was a river in the west of the village.Because of the hot weather, I often went to swim in it with other boys.We ran after each other in the water.What a wonderful time we had!Often in the morning, I read my English texts and in the evening I sat on a fallen tree outside, telling stories to the children.They all listened to me very carefully.But how time flies!I had to leave.I was going to do further study in a high school.I like countryside.It has bright sunshine and clean air.I love my grandpa and grandma, and they also love me very much.I promised them that I would come here next summer!40.Where to live----in the city or in the country Many people appreciate the conveniences of the city.People in the city can see films, visit exhibitions and watch games every day if they like to.Furthermore, if they want to become scholars, scientists or artists, they can find what they need in the city: libraries, colleges, museums, and so on.The last but not the least important thing I’d like to say is that they can get to know as many people as they want in the city.But some other people are attracted by the beauty of the country.First, if one is in the country he feels he is closer to nature: small streams, high mountains, fresh air, green grass and so on, all this makes people happy and stirs up the love of life.Second, in the country, people seem to have more freedom.They can sing high in the field, ride horses along a brook and do some interesting farm work.Of course, both the city and the country have their disadvantages.As for the city, there is pollution, noise and heavy traffic.And as far as the country is concerned, its inefficient transportation, delayed news always make people feel isolated.Compared with cities, the country is relatively backward, but nothing can be compared with the clean atmosphere and the gentle pace of living.Living in the country is very good for your health.With the development of economy, it is a trend that people will migrate from the city to the country.41.Haste Makes Waste There is an old saying,―Haste makes waste.‖It’s the experience of our forefathers, however, it is correct in many cases even today.Usually, if you act faster, you can reach your goals earlier.But it isn’t always the case.If you emphasize only on speed but ignore the quality of your work, your effect will be the opposite.The more hasty you are,t he slower you achieve completeness and success.Suppose you are preparing for your final examination.There are a lot of exercises to do and many notes to memorize.The fact that you have not enough time makes you very worried.So you have read and write continuously ,without rest, without sleep, without relaxation.The result is that your brain is less and less efficient, your process is slower and slower.The situation goes from bad to worse.All your efforts lead to nothing.On the contrary, if you do your preparations with a calculated plan and carry out the plan step by step, your work will be effective.Consequently, you will take part in the exams confidently with good preparations.Whatever you do, please remember the saying----Haste makes waste.If you understand it and apply it to your study or work, you’ll benefit a lot form it.42.Health It is clear that health is the foundation of one’s future success.If you get sick, it is nearly impossible to pursue your career effectively, much less make your dreams come true.On the other hand, if you are stout and strong, you can go all out to overcome the obstacles that lie ahead of you.Now that we know that health is the source of our energy, what should we do to maintain and enhance our health? First, we should exercise every day to strengthen our muscles.Second, we should keep regular reasonable hours.If we get up early, we can breathe fresh air.This habit can do wonders in our life.Third, there is a proverb that says, ―Prevention is better than cure.‖
In short, health is more important than wealth.Those who are rich but lose their health are no more fortunate than those who are poor.If you want your wish to come true, you should do exercise and keep fit.Health is the most important of your success.43.How To Spend Spare Time Physical activities and intelletual pastimes are the two basic ways for us to spend our spare time.Different people may have different ,means of spending their leisure time.Some people prefer taking part in physical activities, such as playing football or tennis, boating, fishing, walking, and so on.Physical recreation affords them the opportunities to strengthen their bodies and satisfy their competitive nature.Some other people enjoy doing intellectual activities.They take a lot of pleasure from reading, or listening to music.They believe that books are a necessary nourishment for mind and spirit.I prefer a balance of these activities to provide both the physical conditioning and mental relaxation.For me, physical recreation is necessary for good health but intellectual activities such as reading books provide the most pleasure.44.Exercise A state of physical and mental health allows you to take part in exercise comfortably and enjoyably so that it doesn’t hurt, so that you look forward to it, laugh, and feel good afterwards.Working out helps you deal with stress in your job, relationship or any area of life—possibly because exercise is a form of stress itself and helps condition your body to deal with it.Even a little exercise can make you think less anxiously.Studies have shown that any amount of exercise, from a brisk 10-minute walk to an intense aerobics or weightlifting session seems to decrease feelings of anxiety.Working out regularly may make you smarter now and lessen the possibility that you’ll lose brain function as your age.According to a recent animal study at the University of Illinois, exercise can actually help the brain develop new cells.In several studies, regular weight training or aerobic exercise was shown to improve the quality and duration of sleep.Naturally, this can make you less tired and be able to function better during the day.Finally, there’s one more reason to keep exercising.When you work out regularly, your body simply functions better—you are better, healthier and less likely to suffer painful physical condition.45.Football One of the most surprising things about football in England to a stranger is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have.He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams.He has photographs of them and knows the results of large numbers of matches.He will tell you, with a great air of authority, who he expects will win such a match, and his opinion is usually as valuable as that of men three or four times his age.Most schools in England take football seriously—much more seriously than nearly all European schools, where lessons are all-important, and games left for private arrangements.In England, it is believed that education is not only a matter of filling a boy’s mind with facts in a classroom;education also means character training;and one of the best ways of training character is by means of games, especially team games, where the boy has to learn to work with others for his team, instead of working selfishly for himself alone.Football is a good team game.It is good exercise for the body.It needs skill and a quick brain.It is popular and cheap.As a result, it is the school’s favorite game in winter.46.Can Money Buy Happiness Can Money Buy Happiness? Yes, claim the authors of a new study—but only up to a point.Nowadays, whether the rich are happier as a whole than the less well-to-do persons is becoming an increasingly hot topic for debate.It’s investigated that richer people are happier because money can purchase goods and services and it is the consumption of these materials that increases one’s enjoyment of life and one’s sense of well-being.As incomes in the U.S.tend to rise over the course of our lifetimes, individuals may find themselves on a sort of treadmill, consuming more and more just to maintain a constant level of happiness.Firebaugh and his colleagues measured the age, total family income, and general happiness of individuals aged 20 to 64, generally considered the working life span for most Americans.Regardless of such criteria as physical health, education, and marital status, people’s happiness was affected by what others earned.The higher the income of others in one’s age group, the lower one’s happiness.47.Perseverance Napoleon declared, ―Victory belongs to the most persevering.‖ Upon careful study we find perseverance depends upon three things—purpose, will, and enthusiasm.Life is in a sense battle.The man who thinks to get on by mere smartness and by idling meets failure at last.Perseverance is the master impulse of the firmest souls.Great men never wait for opportunities;they make them.They seize whatever is at hand, work out their problems, and master the situation.The greatest thing a man can do in this world is to make the most possible out of the stuff that has been given to him.This is success and there is no other.One of the important lessons of life is to learn how to get victory out of defeat.This measures the difference between those who succeed and those who fail.We cannot measure a man by his failures.We must know what use he makes of them.The man who has not fought his way upward does not know the highest meaning of success.48.What is a good student What is a good student? Different people have different answers to this question.Someone thinks that a good student should be good at academic work.Others claim that a good student should be one who has all round development of morality, intelligence and physique.But I think.In addition to the above mentioned, a good student, above all, should be capable of doing practical work, and must be competent in the future work.First, a good student must cultivate good morality.Good manners and noble ideas make up a true man.Such bad habits as smoking and drinking should be got rid of.Whenever he finds something wrong, correct it boldly.In short, he should everything right.He should also study diligently and put his knowledge into practice.Knowledge is power.One would not reach the rich storehouse of knowledge unless he studies carefully.To apply knowledge to practical use is more important.He should apply his learning to something practical to benefit the people.Last but not least , he should make his body strong and healthy.Health is the key to success.The healthier your body is, the brighter your mind will be, and the higher learning can be attained.In a word ,the competition is becoming fierce.In order to meet the future challenge, students should be better prepared with not only academic excellence but also various virtues and skills.49.My View on College Students’ Part-time Jobs Nowadays, an increasing number of college students are doing part-time jobs.People hold different opinions on that.Some people think that there are many advantages for college students to have part-time jobs.Firstly, part-time jobs offer them opportunities to apply what they have learned in school and demonstrate their family and builds up their self-confidence.Thirdly, part-time experiences may be of great help to their future careers.Finally, part-time jobs can broaden their school lives and help them know more of themselves and society.However, some other people hold that doing part-time jobs has more disadvantages.The main job of college students is to study, not to work.If they have part-time jobs, they may have to reduce their time for sleep, rest, study and activities.Working several hours a day consumes a lot of time and energy and may affect their studies.As a result, they may find it hard to adjust to what the college expects from them as well as their employers expect, and finally, they may fall behind or fail in their studies.In my opinion, students can choose to take up a part-time job according to their own situation.The most important thing for him is to keep a good balance between part-time jobs his study.50.Telephone or Letter? Communication is very important both in the past and at present , and it tends to be more essential in modern society.Telephone and letter are two main means of communication, they both have advantages and disadvantages.Communicating with other people by telephone is very convenient, especially when you have something urgent.For example ,if one of your family members is seriously ill at night, and you don’t know how to deal with it and where to find a doctor or a taxi.What can you do? A telephone is the answer.Dial 120 and you will get services from the doctor very soon.In addition, with the quick rhythm of life, people usually don’t have as much time to write letters as before, again telephone solves the problem.Friends can chat through the wire.it seems that telephone shortens the distance between people.Men can keep in touch with each other more easily.However, still some people prefer writing letters to communicate with friends.First sending a letter is much cheaper than having a telephone call.Now 6 jiao will be enough to send your letter to your friends living in another city ,while maybe at least 2-3 yuan a minute will be cost for a distant telephone.Second, people can not only greet each other but also exchange their thoughts in letters.Because when a person writes, he must organize his mind and express his ideas and feelings more logically, while telephone often makes people lazy.Finally, people easily keep secret in the letter and say whatever you want to say, while they sometimes can’t do that in a telephone.In my opinion, you can combine these two ways together: Some unimportant things can be expressed by a telephone , while some important or unspoken things can be done by a letter.
