英语课堂前3分钟小故事演讲（精选3篇）
ladies and gentlemen, teachers, my fellow students:
i am very excited and feel it's a great honor to stand here to deliver my speech. what i'm going to talk about is “choice in my life”
i can still remember the first time i failed in a singing contest. i immediately ran to my grandma, shedding lots of tears of course! i cried loudly and could hardly utter a word!
then, badly needed comforting words and touch came from grandma. i gradually regained my sense of pride and a sensible control of my feelings. yet, head down, i said: “grandma, i have no choice, and i have to give up, right?” “look at me, my dear!”she said gently. i looked up, straight into her eyes. what i saw was a shining, sweet, and loving stream from the bottom of her heart! then, there came the gentle voice of hers: “no, no, no…” her head shaking, while eyes smiling. “why don't you give more attention to the details?” she continued.
no other words were needed any more! i started practicing and rehearsing once again, paying special attention to those little things that i used to ignore. as a consequence, my overall performance was quickly elevated to a new high! without much trouble, in another singing contest held months later, i won!
what do i learn from this experience? never give up lightly! life's full of opportunities, and lots of them! to realize your dreams and fulfill your potential, you must learn to work hard and smart and steer your lifeboat wisely! as a li ling's sportswear commercial goes “everything is possible!” but not without sweat, devotion, and tears sometimes!
life is a long journey, during which we are surely going to face many challenges, experience lots of failures, and equally, many opportunities are waving to us, while sweet rewards are waiting for us! to transform these opportunities into fruitful results, or turn those challenges and failures into valuable assets, we must learn to seize the good ones and not to retreat lightly in front of difficulties.
winners can never be quitters!
thank you all!
多久了，这样的日子。
我望着漆黑的夜幕，没有一次光束。冰冷的氛围，凝结的空气让我透不过气。不知什么时候，泪水早已浸满了眼眶，顺着脸颊，肆意的淌下。
已经能够忘了自己这样颓废了有多久，也不知道这样的自己又能坚持多久。只是漫不经心的怀念着以前那些轻松快乐的岁月，然后望着别人得幸福，数自己的悲伤。一次又一次的考试成绩打击着我，想着以前接受老师表扬时的喜悦和看到自己试卷后欣慰的笑容，我的心里涌起一阵激流。然而，他很快便退却了。骨感的现实在嘲笑着我，丰满的理想似乎也弃我远去，我无力的挣扎着，做着最后的搏斗。
伏在书案上看书，却不知不觉睡了过去。“这还是你吗，你难道甘心这样一直堕落下去吗?你的梦想呢，你的勇气去了哪里?”在梦里，我听到有人在深深斥责着我“不，我怕，我害怕失败，我怕那些异样的目光，我怕···”我用力地向前跑，却掉进了沼泽里。恍然之间，我醒了，原来只是一个梦。我稍作放松，随意打开一本书，想着刚才的梦。然而，一个陌生却又熟悉的面孔映入了眼帘。
他叫贝多芬，是着名的音乐家。患有先天性耳聋的他却有着天才般的手指，弹奏出人间的绝唱。他听不到任何的声音，心中却满是曲调，跳跃着的音符在脑海中奔腾。怀着那颗对音乐无限热爱的心，他战胜了一个又一个困难。面对命运的玩笑，他乐观积极的迎上前去。他把那些讥笑，那些愚弄统统踩在脚下，化为坚实的力量，走着慷慨的步伐，踏出耀眼的光芒。我被贝多芬那种无谓的精神深深的折服。我所谓的苦难，是贝多芬的万分之一，而贝多芬面对生活的态度，却是我的一万倍。我还有什么理由沮丧，还有什么资格哭泣。
我懂了，我所要做的，不是像现在一样颓废失望，而应该像贝多芬一样，树立乐观的态度，为了自己的目标勇敢地奋斗下去。是的，从现在开始，我要做另一个自己，让生活的明灯就此点亮。
是啊，没有流过血的手指，弹不出时间的绝唱。只有点亮生活的明灯，找准方向才会有希望。和那些迷茫的时光说再见，和美好的明天预约，一起扬帆起航。
