I believe in our future Honorable Judges, fellow students: Good afternoon! Recently, ther is a heated debate in our society. The college students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education at extraordinary places. But will we be able to face the challenge and support ourselves against all odds? Will we be able to better the lives of others? Will we be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of our country? The cynics say the college students are the pampered lost generation, which would cringe at the slightest discomfort. But the cynics are wrong. The college students I see are eagerly learning about how to live independently. We help each other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take part time jobs to supplement our pocket money. The cynics say we care for nothing other than grades;
and we neglect the need for character cultivation. But again, the cynics are wrong. We care deeply for each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth. Last week, thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer. As college students, we are adolescents at the critical turning point in our lives. We all face a fundamental choice: cynicism or faith, each will profoundly impact our future, or even the future of our country. I believe in all my fellow classmates. Though we are still inexperienced and even a little bit childish. I believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challenge and take on our responsibilities. We are preparing to assume new responsibilities and tasks, and to use the education we have received to make our world a better place. I believe in our future.
高中英語演講稿篇3： Change The Ingredients Of Your Life
This is a glass of water, tasteless, right? However if you add sugar, it will taste sweet, but if you add vinegar, it will become bitter. The same is true with our life____ the flavor is created by our choices. If kindness is added to a strange you will have a friend;
but if hostility is added, you will have an enemy. If love is added to a pile of red bricks you will have a home, but if hatred is add to those bricks , you will have an concentration camp. So my dear friends, never complain that life is boring and the world is disappointing. If don’t like the taste of your life, change the ingredients. Three year ago, I weighed more than 100 hundred kilograms which caused significant embarrassment and frustration in my life. Like always failing my P.E examinations, like always being laughed at by girls, like being terrified to speak in public. It was my grandmother’s encouragement that revived from my passive attitude to become confident in myself. She said “ My dear, if you can’t change you figure, why not treat it as your own style. So I began to cautiously employ the new way of thinking. By choosing to change my outlook on life, I developed the confidence to make a difference and finally I found a totally new world. So my dear friend, if faith, hope, love, endurance are added to your life, you will find the confidence to conquer your limitation and embrace new challenges. And hopefully with my speech included, you will have a fantastic speech contest.

Are you happy? Do you remember a time when you were happy? Are you seeking happiness today?
Many people have sought a variety of sources for their feeling of happiness. Some people have put their heart and efforts into their work. Too many people turned to drugs and alcohol. Untold numbers have looked for it in the possession of expensive cars, and other popular toys. Most of their efforts have a root in one common fact : people rare looking for a lasting source of happiness
Today , some people think that an expensive car is stimults . Happiness is a response , and so on .This belief leaves us thinking and feeling : I will be happy when ……
But , I believe that happiness is a sttimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy ,when we are happy ,we tend to have more success in our work .

尊敬的各位家長：
上午好！
作為一名高一學生的家長，想必您時常為孩子的學業問題操心，非常感謝您的支持！
作為英語老師，我也盼望著與您攜手，與您交流，共同探討孩子成才的問題。英語學不好，在今後的社會中就難以立足。我想努力，這就需要您的支持和合作。高中的英語教材（5a）與大學英語教材是配套的，這就意味著：現在的英語成績不僅直接影響孩子的期末考試與升學，還影響著孩子將來的英語學習！
半年的共同學習，使我半喜半憂，喜的是，我們高一三班的學生都很聰明，接受能力強，學習起來顯得很輕鬆，讓我覺得憂慮的是：部分孩子對英語不太重視。（包括與個別家長的交流中，發現有家長也未重視）可能這裡也包含許多家長覺得英語不太好輔導，你說語文數學吧，還懂點，這英語吧，還真是不好不懂裝懂，所以導致相當一部分的孩子英語基礎打得很不牢，個別的孩子甚至拼讀、書寫、背誦等學習英語的好習慣還沒有很好的養成，需要從頭開始。但是，孩子們上課時的專注同時也讓我感到欣喜。認真的孩子一定能把英語學好！
我確信：英語要學好和智商無關，學不好英語的人都是懶惰的人。
新教材與國中的教材跨度很大，要求也上了幾個台階，對孩子們具有比較大的難度。細心的家長可能就會發現，高中的課本和國中的課本相比，無論是從辭彙量，語法還是課文篇幅的長短都有了明顯的區別，國中的內容相當簡單，它簡直就是三年級知識的鞏固，稍微有所延伸，而高一一下子就接觸並需要掌握兩種時態。所以，有些同學很不能適應，國中學得輕鬆，還考好成績，怎么到了高一不行了，這樣的現象很普遍，說到底，還是好的習慣沒有養成，不夠勤奮。在這裡，我要點名表揚幾位學生，她們學習態度端正，上課認真，書寫工整，正因為如此，無論什麼考試都能取得很好的成績。另外我還要提幾個同學，他們的潛力很大，但因為還不夠認真刻苦，所以沒有發揮出自己最好的水平，希望家長能夠配合老師，把孩子的成績抓上去。我堅信：如果您的孩子在您的支持和我的指導下能夠及時完成我布置的任務，那么一定能學好。要教導您的孩子一開始就要有吃苦耐勞的精神。堅持嚴謹的學習作風，成績馬上就會見效。
目前的形勢決定了英語學科的重要性，請各位家長務必重視英語這一學科，你們思想上重視了，無形中也給孩子以薰陶，重視與不重視肯定是完全不同的，在英語課堂上，大部分學生都能很活躍的回答老師提出的問題，積極跟著老師拼讀單詞，朗讀課文。其實這也製造了一種假象，學生認為自己常常被老師提問，認為自己能夠回答老師的問題，於是認為自己的英語學得很不錯，自我感覺特別好。於是下課後在英語上花的時間就少了。其實要學好英語，課上占40%，其餘的60%還需要學生在課後不斷的鞏固，加深記憶。在課上老師更多的是教授新知識，當然課上也會有少量的時間鞏固新學的知識。但是這些時間是公共的時間，而不是每個學生私有的時間，所以不可能照顧到每個學生，不可能讓所有學生都達到相同的程度。況且每個學生對新知識得接受能力都是不同的，有的可能當堂就已經有很深的印象，很難忘記，但這肯定是很少的。大部分學生都只能是初步接觸了新知識，要真正接受新知識還要學生在課後多下功夫，不然肯定會和別的同學拉下差距。
那么在課後學生到底該怎么做才能把其餘的60%補回來呢？英語畢竟不是我們自己的語言，大多數學生除了英語課其餘時間根本就不會想到要說英語，所以，在課後一定要主動抽時間為自己補習英語。學好英語，不外乎就是在聽，說，讀，寫這些方面下功夫。
首先說一下聽，每個學生都有和書相配套的磁帶，可是請各位家長檢查一下自己的子女的英語磁帶，有多少學生的磁帶還是和剛發的時候一樣的，根本就沒有聽過。不要說另外買什麼英語聽力磁帶或者英語學習的碟片了，連自己手頭的磁帶都不去聽，光靠上課聽一點點的磁帶，學生的聽力根本就不能有什麼發展。不會聽就不能說，而說白了，學了英語就是要說，那不是白學了么？聽錄音機跟讀，目的應該是兩種，一種同學是上課沒有完全消化，聽錄音是補充學習的過程，另外一種是提高自己的聽力和口語表達能力，要學生盡力地去模仿錄音機里的發音，從而使自己的聽力和口語都提高一個層次。
接下來是說，英語是一門語言，學了就是要說，要和別人交流。我們學的英語不應該是啞巴英語，要讓每個學生學會勇敢地說出來。在課上我會用各種方法來刺激學生，激發他們說英語的積極性，大多數學生也確實做得很好。可是班級里人多，對每個人來說，說的機會就少。所以下課也要說；放學回家也要說。在學校，我鼓勵學生把所學的英語對話運用到生活中去，這樣有更真實的情景，更能讓學生有發揮的餘地。在家裡，希望家長也能鼓勵學生說英語，也許你會說你自己也聽不懂，請不要這樣想，其實學生需要是你的鼓勵，你聽了他們說的只要簡單表揚一句，他們就會很滿足了。有時候你們也可以不懂裝懂，或者還可以讓學生反過來教你，他們會覺得很自豪，因為自己所學得派上了用場。
接下來是讀。有句話：“讀書破萬卷，下筆如有神。”學英語也是這樣，很多家長也明白，學英語要培養語感，也就是語言的感覺，如果有很好的語感，那么不管是說話，做題目，還是寫文章，都很輕鬆，很簡單了。那么語感怎么來呢？就是靠讀出來的。一定要讓學生養成每天讀英語的習慣，這是學英語的最基本的學習習慣了。每天早上一定要讀20分鐘左右的英語，哪怕有時候時間來不及了，即使是遲到也要讀，並且每天都堅持，絕不因任何原因間斷。無論什麼事情都貴在堅持嘛。如果你的子女還沒有養成這樣的學習習慣，請你一定要督促他，剛開始也許會比較難，時間久了，就會習慣成自然。就像早上起來要刷牙洗臉一樣，要讓他們把讀英語當作每天必做的`一件事。
最後是寫。主要就是單詞短語的默寫，這是學英語的必經之路。單詞往往背過就容易會忘記，所以要不斷的背默寫，不斷的翻新，這是沒有辦法的。背單詞的時候要邊拼邊寫，嘴巴和手都要動起來，嘴上十遍不如手上一遍。家長在這裡要作好檢查督促的工作，不要用不懂英語來幫助你的孩子學會偷懶，你可以報中文，讓你的孩子默寫，然後對照書本批改訂正，每天堅持的話，你一定會有意想不到的效果。還有句型，學生應該在課上領會句型的意思和運用方法。課後還需要通過多讀課文，多練習才能鞏固所學的句型。所以請各位家長不光要注重孩子背單詞短語的情況，還要讓他重視句子的重要性。

the prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning;and it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary in order to reachmy goal. failure i may still encounter at the thousandth step, yet success hidesbehind the next bend in the road. never will i know how close it lies unless iturn the corner.
always will i take another step. if that is of no avail i will takeanother, and yet another. in truth, one step at a time is not too difficult.
henceforth, i will consider each day's effort as but one blow of my bladeagainst a mighty oak. the first blow may cause not a tremor in the wood, nor thesecond, nor the third. each bolw, of itself, may be trifling, and seem of noconsequence. yet from childish swipes the oak will eventually tumble. so it willbe with my efforts of today.
i will be liken to the rain drop which washes away the mountain; the antwho devours a tiger; the star which brightens the earth; the slave who builds apyramid. i will build my castle one brick at a time for i know that smallattempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking.

I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. We all know that Bingxin has a famous saying “we always admire the beauty of flowers but its sprout was watered by tears of struggle and rained by blood of sacrifice”.
So for the majority， behind their success， are filled of sweat and tears. Eagle flying in the vast firmament， must be experienced the pain of countless times fall under the cliff， then hammered out a pair of volley wings. A shinning of pearls， inevitably suffered countless body friction and numerous waves’ shock. In this view， a real successful people， and he must experienced numerous times to stand up again and agin after failed， because without sweat and tears on the life road ，no one can casually get the beautiful flowers. Alfter a heavy fall Shi Tiesheng lost his legs， it must be a heavy blow for anyone. But he didn’t lose faith in life， but use his brain and hands to show the infinite love of life.
Beethoven was blind and deaf， but he still had written the ”Hero””Destiny”nd so on a large number of music works， in his unfortunately life， he doggedly gripped the ”fate of the throat. They all had a fall， but they are strong enough to stand up， fight against fate and misfortune， finally they succeed. So for each of us， wrestling is not terrible， lose confidence and courage in life is the most terribe thing. In my opionion， the sweat and tears during the life’ journey are very important for us， they hone our will， and enrich our experience.
As the saying goes， how can you see the rainbow without a rainy day， while you don’t work hard and not struggle， how can you gain the successful flowers. All in all， the sweat and tears on the struggling road is inevitable， don’t look for shortcuts anymore， steadfast walk every step， we will succeed in the end.
So belief yourself， nothing is impossile， just do it. Thank you for taking your time to listen to my speech， I hope in the near future we all can be successful.

There was a young flower in the desert where all was dry and sad looking…… It was growing by itself enjoying every day and saying to the sun ,"When shall I be grown up?" And the sun would say "Be patient .Each time I touch you， you grow a little." She was so pleased because she would have a chance to bring beauty to this corner of sand. And this is all she wanted to do - bring a little bit of beauty to this world.
One day the hunter came by and stepped on her. She was going to die and she felt so sad. Not because she was dying , but because she would not have a chance to bring a little bit of beauty to this corner of the desert.
The great spirit saw her， and was listening. - Indeed， he said…… She should be living. And he reached down and touched her , and gave her life.
And she grew up to be a beautiful flower and this corner of the desert became so beautiful because of her.

As everyone knows, English is very important today. It has been used everywhere in the world. It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade. If we can speak English well, we will have more chance to succeed. Because more and more people have taken notice of it, the number of the people who go to learn English has increased at a 你好gh speed.But for myself, I learn English not only because of its importance and its usefulness, but also because of my love for it. When I learn English, I can feel a different way of t你好nking w你好ch gives me more room to touch the world. When I read English novels, I can feel the pleasure from the book w你好ch is different from reading the translation. When I speak English, I can feel the confident from my words. When I write English, I can see the beauty w你好ch is not the same as our C你好nese...I love English, it gives me a colorful dream. I hope I can travel around the world one day. With my good English, I can make friends with many people from different countries. I can see many places of GREat intrests. I dream that I can go to London, because it is the birth place of English.I also want to use my good English to introduce our GREat places to the English spoken people, I hope that they can love our country like us.I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well.If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So I believe as I love English everyday , it will love me too.I am sure that I will realize my dream one day!Thank you!Ladies and Gentlemen, Good afternoon!I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. Today my topic is “youth”. I hope you will like it, and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.
First I want to ask you some questions:
一、Do you know what is youth?
二、How do you master your youth?YouthYouth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite, for adventure over the love of ease. T你好s often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.Whether 60 of 16, there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing c你好ldlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living . In the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.
Thank you!

Hello everybody!
I am very glad to stand here to give you a short speech! Today my topic is Chinese dream
First I want to ask you some questions:
1Do you know what is Chinese dream
2what is your Chinese dream?
Chinese dream
Chinese dream was put forward by chairman xi last year in order to direct Chinese to a clear future.For the whole nation, it means increasing the level of living.For every single Chinese , it means realizing the value of lifeThe realization of the whole nation’s dream can not be separated from everybody’s own dream. Only by everyone’s efforts can we make the nationy’s dream come true.
For our young people, we are supposed to have our own dream. What is dream? The famous Chinese economist LangXianPing has ever said that:”Please do not expect too munch about Chinese students, because they don’t have dream. They only want to find a common job to earn money for a house or a car. They only have a target、purpose、or goal. They don’t have dream. Purpose is not dream.
Dream is developed by your warm heart instead of cheating your eyes in the excuse of earning money! A dream is a clear spiritual lighthouse that gives out direction when you do not know what to expect in the days ahead and offers comfort and support when you become doubtful of yourself.
So, it’s time that we took our measures to fight for our Chinese dream!
That’s all. Thank you!

Which is more important? Time or money
Good evening everybody! It's my honor to speak here,at first I am going to have a self-introduction. I am an outing girl, from Huang Gang experiment school. and I am very glad to share my topic with you. Then today I'd like to talk something about which is more important. There are many things around our life. Such as time,healthy, money, friends and so on. But which do you think is the most important? time or money. Some people often say:“Money is more important than time.”they think that if people have money. They can buy clothes, foods, drinks, houses, cars, computers and so on. But l don’t think so. Because when time is gone we can't get it back. But we can keep on making more money. We can use time to get money. However we can’t use money to get time. Lost wealth maybe replaced by industry. Lost knowledge by study. Lost healthy by temperance or medicine, but lost time is gone for ever. I cannot afford to waste my time making money. So I think time is more important than money. We must make full use of our time to study and work. Each moment in history is a fleeting time, precious and unique.
Do you love life? Now, my dear friends, carry the sun inside you, and cherish the time that guide you what you want to do. You have what it takes to make your path of success .With the time, you have the courage and strength to see things through, you have the smile that will guide you to the beautiful tomorrows.Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff life is made of. Life is long if you know how to use it. So let's save our time.

he values Americans live by may seem strange to you. As a result, you mightfind their actions confusing, even unbelievable. This is my opinion aboutAmerican Value. Whether you agree with me or not - or is willing to accept asvalid any generalizations about Americans - my observations arethought-provoking.
Americans do not believe in the power of fate, and they look at people whodo as being backward, primitive, or naive. In the American context, to be"fatalistic" is to be superstitious, lazy, or unwilling to take initiative.Everyone should have control over whatever in the environment might potentiallyaffect him or her. The problems of one's life are not seen as having resultedfrom bad luck as much as having come from one's laziness and unwillingness totake responsibility in pursuing a better life.
In the American mind, change is seen as indisputably good, leading todevelopment, improvement, progress. Many older, more traditional culturesconsider change disruptive and destructive; they value stability, continuity,tradition, and ancient heritage - none of which are considered very important inthe United States.
Time is of utmost importance to most Americans. It is something to be on,kept, filled, saved, used, spent, wasted, lost, gained, planned, given, evenkilled. Americans are more concerned with getting things accomplished on timethan they are with developing interpersonal relations. Their lives seemcontrolled by the little machines they wear on their wrists, cutting theirdiscussions off abruptly to make their next appointment on time. This philosophyhas enabled Americans to be extremely productive, and productivity Is highlyvalued In their country.
Equality is so cherished in the U.S. that it is seen as having a religiousbasis. Americans believe that all people are created equal and that all shouldhave an equal opportunity to succeed. This concept of equality is strange toseven-eighths of the world which views status and authority as desirable, evenif they happen to be near the bottom of the social order. Since Americans liketo treat foreigners "Just like anybody else", newcomers to the U.S. shouldrealize that no insult or personal indignity is intended if they are treated ina less than-deferential manner by waiters in restaurants, clerks in stores andhotels, taxi drivers, and other service personnel.
Americans view themselves as highly individualistic in their thoughts andactions. They resist being thought of as representatives of any homogeneousgroup. When they do join groups, they believe they are special. Just a littledifferent from other members of the same group. In the U.S. you will find peoplefreely expressing a variety of opinions anywhere and anytime. Yet, in spite ofthis independence, almost all Americans end up voting for one of their two majorpolitical parties. Individualism leads to privacy, which Americans see asdesirable. The word privacy does not exist in many non-Western languages. If Itdoes, it is likely to have a negative connotation, suggesting loneliness orforced isolation. It is not uncommon for Americans to say, and almost tobelieve: "If I don't have half an hour a day to myself, I go stark-ravingmad!"
Americans take credit only for what they accomplish as individuals. Theyget no credit for having been born into a rich family but pride themselves inhaving climbed the ladder of success, to whatever level, all by themselves. Inan English-language dictionary, there are more than 100 composite words thathave the word "self" as a prefix: self-aware. self-confident, self-conscious,self-contented, self-control, self-criticism, self-deception, self-defeating,self-denial. The equivalent of these words cannot be found in most otherlanguages. It is an indicator of how highly Americans regard the self-made manor woman.
Many other countries have developed subtle, sometimes highly ritualistic,ways of informing others of unpleasant information. Americans prefer the directapproach. They are likely to be completely honest in delivering their negativeevaluations, and to consider, anything other than the most direct and openapproach to be "dishonest" and "insincere".
