English 演讲稿

第一篇：English 演讲稿

珍惜现在Often we're told that we have to suffer now — give up what we want — in order to succeed later, that in order to save we must sacrifice.Give up instant gratification to get delayed gratification.But you can do both.For years, I was confused about this, as I read books and websites that sent me two different messages:

Pleasure later.The first message was that in order to be successful, in order to build wealth, you have to delay gratification.You can't have instant gratification and be successful.Pleasure now.The second message was usually from other sources on Happiness, but sometimes from the same source: enjoy life now, while you can, because it's short and you never know when your last day will come.Live every day like it's your last.Trouble is, I agree with both messages.And if you read this site often, you’ll see that I send both messages: Live frugally and simply!But also enjoy life!

That's because I've reconciled the two philosophies into one: Live life now and enjoy it to the fullest — without destroying your future.The key to doing that? Find ways to enjoy life completely, utterly, maximally … that don’t cost your future very much.Here are some tips for actually living that philosophy:

Find free or cheap pleasures.Frugality does not have to be boring or restrictive … if you use your imagination.Be creative and find ways to have fun — loads of it — without spending much money.Have a picnic at the park, go to the beach, do crafts, board games, fly a kite, make art, bake cookies … I could list a hundred things, and you could come up with a few hundred more.Make a list of simple pleasures, and enjoy them to the maximum.This is the key to the whole idea of enjoying life now without spending tomorrow's dollar.See Savor the Little Things.Make simplifying fun.I'm a big fan of simplifying my life, from decluttering to creating a simple lifestyle in every way.And to me, this is great fun.I get rid of stuff(and possibly make money selling it)and have a blast doing it.That’s good math.Rediscover what’s important.Oftentimes we spend tons of money, shopping, going out, watching movies, eating out … without really enjoying life.And when we stop to think about it, we never have time for the things we really want to do.Well, that's probably because your life is filled with things that aren't very important to you.Instead, step back and really think about what’s important to you.Then get rid of the other(expensive)stuff, and focus on what's important.Listen to some stuff on my list: my wife and kids, other friends and family, reading, writing, exercising, volunteering, spending quiet time in contemplation.Guess how many of those things cost a lot of money? Read more here.Make people a priority.This is related to the above point, but I thought I'd give it a little more emphasis.If you give “stuff” a priority — stuff like gadgets, nice furnishings, nice clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc.— then you will spend a lot of money.But if you make people a priority — the people you love most, you close friends and family — you don't need to spend a dime to enjoy life.Make some time to visit with friends, or your parents … and have a conversation with them that doesn't involve eating out or going to the movies.Just sit, have some iced tea or hot cocoa(depending on the weather), and talk.Tell jokes and laugh your heads off.Talk about books you've read, movies you’ve watched, new things going on in your life, your hopes and dreams.And make time for your kids or your significant other — really spend time with them, doing things that don't cost money.(See Spend Time with Family and Loved Ones , 100 Ways to Have Fun With Your Kids and 50 Ways to Be Romantic on the Cheap.)

Find time for yourself.Make time every day, and every week, to spend time alone.It really gives more meaning and enjoyment to your life, rather than rushing through life with no time to think, to breathe.For ideas on how to make this time, see these ways to create time for solitude.Sometimes, splurge.You shouldn't restrict yourself from expensive pleasures all the time — it's not good to develop the feeling of

deprivation.To prevent that, once in awhile, buy yourself something … or better yet, give yourself a decadent treat.I love things with dark chocolate or berries.Crepes with ice cream and berries are one of my favorites.Just don't go overboard … and learn to enjoy the splurge to the fullest.If you truly take the time to enjoy a treat, you don't need a lot of it.Track your successes.It doesn't really matter how you track your success … you can use gold stars for creating a new simplifying or frugalfying habit, or a spreadsheet chart to track your decreasing debt and increasing savings or investments.Tracking is a great way to not only provide motivation, but make the process of changing fun.Reward yourself.And in order to make it more fun, celebrate every little success!Set rewards for yourself(hopefully not too expensive!)along your path to success — celebrate one day, two days, three days, a week, two weeks, three, a month … you get the idea.Volunteer.One of the most rewarding things for my family has been when we have managed to volunteer.It's actually something we only started doing last year, but since then, we've done it a bunch of times in a number of different ways.And while it doesn't cost a dime, it is tremendously satisfying in ways that money could never buy.Read more.Live in the moment.Learn to think not so much about the past or future, but about what you are going through right now.Be present.It may seem trite, but it's the key to enjoying life to the fullest — without having to spend money.Think about it — you can spend money on eating out, but if you are not really thinking about what you're eating, you may not enjoy it much at all.But if you cook a simple but delicious meal, and really taste every bite, it can be tremendously enjoyable without costing a lot.Read more.Slow down.In the same way, you can't really enjoy life to the fullest if it's rushing past you like it's on fast forward.Ever think about how quickly a week, a month, or a year goes by? Perhaps you're in the fast lane too much.Try slowing down, and things will be less stressful and more enjoyable.Drive slower , eat slower , live slower.Learn to find cheap, cool stuff.Call me crazy, but I love shopping at thrift stores.You can find so many cool things there, and it costs so little.Garage sales are the same way.Or check out Freecycle , or read 20 Ways to Find Free or Cheap Books.

第三篇：The story of English演讲稿

The story of English

Good morning(or afternoon)my dear classmates, this is Su Huiting, and I am honored to stand here to share my story with you all today.As we all know a language is product of history and civilization, so what I am gonna tell is the story of English, hoping you will like it.United Kingdom history is very much on history of alien conquerors;similarly, English is the language of foreign conquerors to a large extent.The first owner of the island of Britain, was from the Celtic on continental Europe, and they spoke Celtic languages.And in the 2nd century AD, Roman came in Britain, they spoke Latin.And at that time, English did not exist yet

Until the 5th century, Roman withdrew the British Island while

Anglo-Saxon Germanic people landed in, and told them the Anglo-Saxon languages, which is the origin of the modern English.This means that English appeared, though known as old English, closer to Germanic languages.However, Anglo-Saxon man was the barbarians, and their language was relatively simple, not delicate.It was in 597 when Pope decided to send priests to go to Britain to establish the Church , which made United

Kingdom civilization greatly enhanced.On influence of the exquisite Latin, the two quickly fused together.This was a major event in English history

Well then, Christianity came to Britain in the late 6th century AD, which was another great event in English history, marked that English began to be influenced by Latin.And this was the first cultural invasion;From 793 AD, the Viking started invading Britain.On the Arrival of the Vikings, English was strongly influenced by Nordic language until the medium term of the 9th century.Then, there came the third invasion in 1066, when the Normandy Duke of France invaded Britain, and eventually managed to control a United Kingdom, becoming William the 1st.He cleaned the United Kingdom's Imperial Court and the Church, with all the

important positions held by the French, and they all spoke French.And it is said that invasion of the French influence English greater than any other event in English history.As a matter of fact, in the following 200 years and even more, the United Kingdom social language situation was like this: Government and aristocracy spoke French, Latin was enjoyed by religious and cultural undertakings, and the underlying people continued in English.Even today, it is still fashionable for the British to speak a little French

But how did English survived？I wondered

The reason why English survive and eventually replaced the French position in the situation that the upper community is French-speaking and Latin-speaking, are as follows:

First of all, before the Norman Conquest, the old English had been established both in speaking and writing among the people.It was easy to

record in Latin and French but hard to forbidden English being spoken among the populace.Actually speaking, it was clear that British people will not be willing to keep away from English just because of a foreigner’s dominating

Secondly, the Normans began to marry the local people almost immediately when they arrived.As you can imagine a scenario where a small Norman Knights lived in a small Manor in the country, people around him, say, farmers, maids, butler who kept his estate, were all british, how could he survive and manage his peoplewithout speaking a little English?

The third reason, which was perhaps the most important one, that is, in 1204, because of the reckless, the King's military failed to continue controlling Normandy.Many of those norman nobles who owned lands and position in both countries were obliged to decide their allegiance to France or to the United Kingdom.Until about the early 13th century, United Kingdom began to appear in the official documents of English words.At the end of 13th century, King Edward the 1st began to incite the public against the law, status of English was solided further.With the war in1337-1454 between United Kingdom and France occurred, it was a great stimulus to choose English or French for the people.Besides, there emerged a mysterious disease named “black death” at the same time and it caused so many deaths in monasteries and churches that a new generation of semi-education and functionally

illiterate, who could not speak French and Latin, had totake over their predecessors.After the black death, school students began using English rather than French to explain their lessons.At this time, English has begun to appear in all levels of society.In 1356, the Mayor of London ordered, the Court applied English.In 1362, the Parliament announced to hold meetings in English.And in 1381, Richard the 2ed spoke to farmers in English.Thus, Status of English established and last then

That’s my story.Thanks, for your listening.Thank you ^^

大致中文意思：

读了那么多年的英语，由此对英语语言的形成发展史第一次产生了浓厚的兴趣，英国是一个海岛。英国的历史很大程度上就是外来征服者的历史；同样的，英语很大程度上也就是外来征服者的语言。

不列颠岛上，最早是有原始人的，但是历史记载中丝毫没有提到他们。这个海岛的第一个主人，是从欧洲大陆上过去的凯尔特人，他们讲凯尔特语。公元2世纪，罗马人驻军不列颠，他们讲拉丁语。罗马人比凯尔特人文明得多，两者根本无法融合，所以那时还不存在英语。

公元5世纪，罗马人撤离不列颠，然后日耳曼人中的盎格鲁－萨克森人登陆不列颠，他们讲盎格鲁－萨克森语，这就是现代英语的起源。英语和德语在语言学上是同源的。这就是说，英语是在公元6世纪开始出现的，那时的英语被称为古英语，更接近日耳曼语。

盎格鲁－萨克森人也是蛮人，语言比较简单，不精致，只能用于描述日常生活，没法传达思想感情和进行文学创作。英语历史上的一件大事就是，公元597年，罗马教皇格列高利一世决定派遣教士去不列颠岛建立教会。这一举动使得英国的文明程度大大提升，它不再是欧洲大陆以外的一个蛮夷海岛，粗俗的盎格鲁－萨克森语受到精致的拉丁语的熏陶，两者迅速融合在一起。这是英语发展史上的第一件大事。

出生于公元672年或673年的比德（St Bede the Venerable），是英国历史上第一个历史学家，他写了英国历史上的第一本史书《英吉利教会史》，记载了基督教会在英国最早的一些活动。大家可以想像，基督教正式来到英国是公元597年，比德这本书离这个日期只相差100多年，对于了解英国当时的状况可谓是最珍贵的史料。

英语史上的三次文化入侵

公元6世纪末基督教会来到不列颠岛，这是英语史上的一件大事，标志着英语开始受到拉丁语的影响。英语原本是盎格鲁－萨克森语，属于日耳曼语的一种。拉丁语的传入是它受到的第一次文化入侵，以后这样的“侵略”还发生过两次。从公元793年开始，北欧的维京人（Viking）开始入侵不列颠岛。到了9世纪中期，几乎半个英格兰都落入了维京人手里。北欧海盗的到来，使得英语受到了北欧语的强烈影响。

1066年，法国的诺曼底公爵入侵不列颠岛，最终成功得控制了英国全国，成为威廉一世。他清洗了英国的朝廷和教会，所有重要的职位都由法国人担任，上层所有的交流都用法语。用一个学者的话说，法国人入侵这件事“对英语的影响比

英语史上任何其他事件都更大”。从此，法语对英语产生了极其巨大的影响，这就是英语受到的第三次文化入侵。

此后的200多年中，英国社会的语言状况是这样的：政府和贵族说法语，宗教和文化事业用拉丁语，底层的老百姓继续用英语。直到今天，英国人说一点法语，都是时髦的表现。

经过这三次文化入侵，英语的词汇就变的非常丰富。

英语地位的确立，中世纪

当时的情况是，法语是官方语言，英语成了二等语言，很有可能从此就消失了。在社会上层都讲法语和拉丁语的情况下，英语还能生存下来，并最终取代法语的位臵，有这样几个原因：

首先，在诺曼征服之前，古英语的书面语和口语都已经确立了，有了群众基础。“用拉丁语和法语来做书面记录是一回事，但要把英国普通老百姓讲的话根除，这得要法国人统治几百年才做得到。说英语的人在人口统计学上占有绝对优势。从实际上讲，显而易见，英国人不会紧紧因为被外国人统治就不再说英语了。” 其次，英语之所以幸存，是因为诺曼人几乎立刻就开始与被他们征服的人通婚了。可以想像这样一种情形，一个诺曼小骑士住在英国乡间一座小庄园中，周围都是英国农民，由英国侍女为他服侍，英国管家料理他的地产，他的孩子则跟英国孩子在一起玩耍。他要想生存下去，平息他下属臣民的怨气，就得学一点儿英文。第三个原因也许是最重要的原因，即1204年，由于英皇军事上的鲁莽，失去了对法国诺曼底领土的控制。许多在两个国家都拥有土地并且在两国之间跑来跑去的诺曼贵族迫不得已，要宣布自己究竟效忠法国还是英国。

大约在13世纪早期，英国的官方文件中开始出现了英语单词。13世纪末，英皇爱德华一世开始挑动民众的反法情绪，英语的地位进一步稳固。1337到1454年，英国同法国打起了百年战争，这为说英语而不是法语提供了强大的刺激。

与此同时，由于一种名叫“黑死病”的神秘疾病的爆发，使劳动力锐减，改善并加速提高了英国工人的地位（这一过程最终在1381年的农民起义中达到顶点）。它在修道院和教堂造成了如此之多的死亡，以至新一代的半受教育半文盲，不会说法语和拉丁语的人能够作为男修道院院长和小修道院女院长来接管他们的前任。黑死病之后，学校学生开始用英语而非法语来解释他们上的法语课和拉丁语课。

这时候，英语已经开始出现在社会的各个层面。1356年，伦敦市长下令，法庭应用英语审案。1362年，议会用英语宣布开会。1381年，理查二世用英语对农民讲话。英语的地位就这样确立了。

第四篇：English mania英语演讲稿

English Mania

中国有一种新的狂热，是学英语的狂热，听，我们中国学生正在用高声喊叫的方法练习英语。如今，法律规定，中国小孩从三年级起开始学习英文。

China has a new mania.A mania for learning English.Listen，as Our Chinese students practice English by screaming it.Nowadays, Chinese kids start learning English in the third grade by law.正如我们所知道的，在中国有一个非常重要的考试叫做高考。这个考试的成绩决定了我们的未来。所以，我们中国学生为了准备这个考试三年里每天学习12个小时，其中成绩的25%是由英语决定的。

As we all know, there is a very important test in China called Gaokao.The score on [di’tə:minz

]this one test determines our future.So, we Chinese students study 12 hours a day

for three years to prepare it, and 25% of the grade is based on English.为什么英语？用一个词来说：机会。有更好的生活、工作。

Why English ? In a single word: Opportunity.Opportunity for a better life,and a job,但是我想问那么这股英语热是好还是坏呢？

But I want to ask.Is English mania good or bad?

根据最新世界大学排名，最好大学在美国和英国。最好的工作都给了毕业于西方大学的人。所以每个人都想学英语去改变他们的人生。

According to the latest World University Rankings, the best universities are from the U.K.and the U.S.The best jobs go to people who out of the Western Universities So everybody wants to learn English to change their life..但是可悲的是，每14天就有一种语言消失，同时，英语是全球语言，其中有关系吗？

But sadly, today, a language dies every 14 days.At the same time, English is the global language.Could there be a connection?

在我看来，和英语有关。我觉得如果每个人狂热于学习英语，这个世界将会只有一种语言和一种文化——英语。像如果赵本山是一个英语狂热者，我们会有那么多优秀的喜剧小品吗？如果爱因斯坦是个英语狂热者，我们将会丢失一个优秀的物理学家

In my opinion, it’s about English.And I want to remind you that the lots of successful people did not have to have English,.Like Zhao Benshan ,Would we have those good comedy skits? If Einstein was an English mania.We would lose a great physicist.我不反对学习英语，但是我觉得我们应该重视我们的语言，用它来传播伟大的想法，让世界变得多样性I am not against English learning;but I think we should mind our language.Use it to spread great ideas.To make the world diversity.

第五篇：My English Study演讲稿

My English Study演讲稿

Good evening, respected teachers and dear friends!I’m so happy and honored to be able to enter the semi-finals of this speech contest.Today my topic is: My English Study, I will share my own experience of English learning.As the days go on, it is very important for us to learn English well.However, learning English is not so easy for usbecause the lack of language environment.Therefore, we urgently need to find more effective methods to master English.When I was young, I studied English like most students do, word back, dictation and recite，I thought that I can learn English well.But it turns out I was wrong, although I have done quite well in exam, I can’t use English to communicate with others.That’s dumb English, even though I have learned English for ten years.Until then I realizeEnglish learning is different from other subjects because the language is a tool rather than knowledge.SoI change my way to learning English.I try to communicate with others in English.Yeah, I won’t be afraid to lose face.I told myself that it doesn’t matter and then I’m standing here to speak something out.I joined a group of WeChat, which is makes up of the China Daily’s readers who come from different countries.We exchange ideas, share our lifein English.They are very cheerful, I love this group!

Except to speak more English, I will read some English story books, my favorite one isThe Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, which is not only improved my vocabulary, and gave me some moving and enlightenment.Overall, my English study is to continue to use it, use it to communicate and learn other knowledge and culture.Maybe this is not the best way to learn English, but it is extremely effective.I hope you, everyone in here, can find your most effective method to learn English.That’s all.Thank you for your attention.
