Today, I read the little prince. Mom said it's a very good book. Let meread it carefully. I read it very seriously. The little prince's planet isalmost the same as a house. He has a beautiful rose on his planet. The littleprince and the roses were annoyed and went to other planets. For example, crazyplanet, alcoholic planet, desert planet.Finally, the little prince came to ourearth. He met a fox, and he became a friend of the fox. The fox asked if therewas any chicken on his planet. The little prince said nothing. The fox allowedthe little prince to tame it, because the fox wanted to make the worlddifferent. The little prince tamed it. Then the fox asked the little prince whathe was going to do on earth. The little prince said he was having trouble withroses.The fox gave the little prince a special gift, which is a sentence:"only by heart can we see clearly the essence of things. It's the time, energyand emotion you give your rose that makes him so important. The little princetook this sentence and silently carried it on the back. Finally, he wasresponsible for his own rose and went back to his own planet.

After reading thestory, I was very moved. I feel that the little prince is a kindhearted, braveand responsible person. I want to learn from the little prince, and also be agood and brave man.

As the vivid cartoon depicts, a little boy throws a package that still contains foods away, and an old woman picked it up.

The purpose of the picture is to reveal that there is more and more wasteful phenomenon.Economization is the steadfast virtue of our nation. Why this phenomenon takes place, that is, nowadays, as the living standards improve, folks live a fullness life, some people flip the traditional virtues of economization from our memory. It will cause a serious adverse effect on social harmony if we turn a blind eye on this phenomenon.In addition, waste is not only a noble trait of character of a teenager, but also lead o some wicked traits which are harmful to the growing of a teenager.

Taking into account all the analyses above, we must attach importance of economization. First, we should get actively to advocate the traditional virtue 。

英文演讲 篇3

Dear judges:

I am very glad to make a speech here ! Today I'd like to talk something about English.

I love English. English language is now used everywhere in the world. It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade. Learning English makes me confident and brings me great pleasure.

When I was seven, my mother sent me to an English school. At there, I played games and sang English songs with other kids . Then I discovered the beauty of the language, and began my colorful dream in the English world.

Everyday, I read English following the tapes. Sometimes, I watch English cartoons.

On the weekend, I often go to the English corner. By talking with different people there, I have made more and more friends as well as improved my oral English.

I hope I can travel around the world someday. I want to go to America to visit Washington Monument, because the president Washington is my idol. Of course, I want to go to London too, because England is where English language developed. If I can ride my bike in Cambridge university, I will be very happy.

I hope I can speak English with everyone in the world. I'll introduce China to them, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and Anshan.

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.

Today i am very glad to be here to share with you my ideas of success. What is success? It is what everyone is longing times success would be rather simple. Winning a game is success; getting a high grade in the exam is success; making a new friend is success; even now i amstanding here giving my speech is somehow also success.

However, as a person’s whole life is concerned, success becomes verycomplicated. is fortune success? is fame success? is high social status success? no, i don’t think so. i believe success is the realization of people’s hopes and days, in the modern society there are many peoplewho are regarded as the successful. and the most obvious characteristics of hem are money, high position and luxurious life. so most people believe that s success and all that they do is for this purpose. But the problem is wether it is real success.

We all know there are always more money, higher position and better condition in front of us. if we keep chasing them, where is the end? what will satisfy us at last? therefore, We can see, to get the real success we must need something inside, which is the realization ofpeople’ hopes and ideals.

Different people have different ideas about success; cause people’s hopes and ideas vary from one another. but i am sure every success is dear to everybody, cause it is not easy to come by, cause in the process of our striving for success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightened by the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and sense of responsibility. these are the best treasures. so now i am very proud that i have this opportunity to stand here speaking to all of you. it is my success, cause i raise up to challenge my hope.

What is success?Everyone has his own interpretation as i do. But i am sureevery success leads to an ever-brighter future. so ladies and gentlemen, believe in our hopes, believe in ourselves, we, every one of us, can make asuccessful life!

Ihave a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed-we hold theses truths to be self-oevident, 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 least ,free at last . thank god almighty, we are free at last."

英文演讲 篇5

From the picture, we can see that some schools only want their students tostudy hard at their lessons but ignore the educating on students' ability ofpractice, communication and organization. These schools regard study as the mostimportant thing but other abilities such as communication skills, public-mindedawareness, are not useful to them.

This idea is one-sided. We should take everything into account in students'education. If a school has such an idea, it is not good for their students'future development. In the current society, people must have an all-roundability to adapt to society. If not, students will find it difficult to find agood job. Besides, book is not the only way to success. EQ is sometimes moreimportant than IQ. So students should develop such abilities as communication,organization, public relation, and creativity.

As far as I am concerned, on the one hand, it is important for us to studyfrom books well and achieve excellent academic scores; on the other hand, it ismore important to develop other skills. One should be sociable and capable sothat he can be socially useful.

从图片中,我们可以看到,有些学校只希望自己的学生努力学习他们的经验教训,但忽略了对学生实践,沟通和组织能力的培养。这些学校作为学习的最重要的事情,但其他能力,如沟通能力,公众意识的宣传,都没有对他们有用。

这种想法是片面的。我们应该把一切都要考虑学生的教育。如果一个学校有这样的想法,这是不利于学生的未来发展。在目前的社会中,人们必须有一个全方位的能力,以适应社会。如果没有,学生们会发现很难找到一份好工作。此外,本书并不是成功的途径。EQ有时比智商更重要。因此,学生应培养这样的能力的沟通,组织,公共关系和创造力。

就我而言,在一方面,重要的是我们从书本以及研究和实现优异的学习成绩;另一方面,更重要的是发展其他技能。一要善于交际,有能力让他可以成为对社会有用的。

英文演讲 篇6

Books are the ladder of human progress. Book, is the source of knowledge, as ever, an inexhaustible. A book, is the beacon, never extinguished. Reading can cultivate a person's heart, just like physical exercise.

"I rushed in a book, just like a hungry person sees a loaf of bread!" This is a famous saying of gorky once said. Good. Every time I got a book in his hand, and couldn't wait to open, hard to see a few hours, and then carefully taste. Taste the taste, imperceptible was engulfed by the plot of the book, shook, often post infection, happy atmosphere of laughing alone; Sometimes see tension, the exciting plot prompted my heart jump "beat" incessantly; Sometimes, they will be the sad fate of the protagonist in the book was moved to tears...

I read the "how the steel was tempered", see everything should have a strong will, don't back down, but to go upstream; I have read "journey to the west", see keep trying to do things. I have read the heart pasture, it edify sentiment made me a heavy sentiment. I have read the "lei feng's diary, I see this is lei feng" oneself live, is to make others live a better life."

Everybody has the way frequently as the diameter, but learning the hard work. As long as I diligently study, one step at a time, the builders of learning, can of gaining its luminous summits.

英文演讲 篇7

By Yang Xinyun

Good morning everyone. M is YangXinyun. You can call me Sunny, too. I'm a 13-year-old girl and I'm Guilin Howell School. Today my topic isthe story between English and me.

Now as we all know, there are six officiallanguages of the United Nations. And English is one of them. Certainly it isvery important and useful. We can talk to the foreign people when we can speakEnglish very well. But everyone knows it is always difficult to learn somethingat the beginning. Just like learning English.

I started to learn English in Grade 2. First,I don't like English. Because it's really difficult for me to write, speak and remember.So I always get the worst marks in my class.

Until one day, my dad asked me a strangequestion, "What is your favourite thing?" I said, "I like my guitar. And I likedrawing pictures. I also like going out to play with Lisa."(Lisa is my bestfri.)Then he said, "What about English?" "I don't like it at all." Ianswered. My dad was very strict but also very patient, "My dear daughter, ifyou still don't like English, you will never get a chance to learn more byEnglish, such as your music and your art." I was afraid about ing day. Andmy dad said, "So making a fri with English will make you happy. Trust me!" Ithought maybe my dad is right.

Then I came to Howell. It's really a goodplace for learning. I played games and sang English songs with other classmatesin Howell. I discovered the beauty of the language, and began my colourfuldream in my English world. Every day, I read English following the tapes.Sometimes, our teachers showed us cartoons. Certainly, I remembered and usedthe English words and phrases every day. I have been work harder and harder.

And now I can speak English well and alwaysget the best marks. I am happy. Because I did it better. I also have many problems.There are so many differences between English and Chinese. For example, when wemake a phone call, in Chinese we say, "I'm Sunny." But in English we say, "Thisis Sunny." If we can remember the differences we will be strong and powerful inEnglish. That's exciting.

English is always my best fri and it hasbeen a part of my life. In the future, I am going to study inAustralia. Iwill learn English well and introduce my country well. It will be wonderful. Ibelieve that as I love English more, it will love me more, as well.

Teachers and students,

Hello everyone!

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed, and now it is 20xx, time is really passed quickly, now I am an adult also really realize the feeling of the blink of an eye, 20xx years, time really changed me too much.

When I was a child, my parents doted on me. Every day, I could wake up and play with my friends carefree. I still remember chasing and playing with two or three friends in the yard downstairs and having snowball fights in the fitness facilities in the community.

When I was in primary school, I felt very curious about everything. Once my Chinese teacher asked us in class what we wanted to be when we grew up. I clearly remember the answer was scientist. It's funny to think about it now. At that time, I was so ignorant. I always wanted to explore everything in the world, but in the end, it seemed that I was further away from my original desire...

Back to now, now 20 years old I have begun to think about the future of their own life, I like reading, like thinking, know a lot of truth, also understand a lot of life experience, know to struggle hard, to fight for their own dreams and young, since has grown up, we should learn to be strong, we should work hard for their dreams, time has changed me, It's making me who I am.

英文演讲 篇10

i believe in our future honorable judges, fellow students: 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. thank you!

The expression “Never, never give up” means to keep trying and never stopworking for your goals. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?Usespecific reasons and examples to support your answer.

“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” These are wise words. Oneshould never give up. There is always another opportunity, another goal, oranother option.

Once I ran for president of my class. Unfortunately, I lost. I lost becauseI did not promote myself enough. I looked at my mistakes and decided how tocorrect them. The following year, I ran for president again. This time I gavespeeches, called voters on the phone, and banded out brochures. This time I won.Never give up. There is always another opportunity.

Once I wanted to study medicine. Unfortunately, I didn’t like science. Ifailed all my science courses at school. Then I realized that what I liked aboutmedicine was helping people. I changed my goal from healing people to helpingpeople. Now, I’m studying psychology. There is always another goal.Once Iwanted to talk with my friend. Unfortunately, his computer was down and Icouldn’t e-mail him. His phone line was busy so I couldn’t call him. Mail wouldtake too long so I couldn’t write him. Since I really wanted to talk with him. Igot on the bus and went across town to visit him. There is always anotheroption.

If you give up, you might as well die. My advice is to always look foranother opportunity, another goal, or another option. There is always somethingelse. Don’t give up.

On a sunny afternoon, my mother, with her father in her arms, was walking on the platform of Shanghai railway station, and she was ready to pick up her grandmother.It was so blue that you could see the birds flying overhead, and occasionally the sound of bombs.

They went to pick up xiao Mings grandmother.Suddenly, a loud bang like chunlei, the Japanese invaders in.Xiao Ming still didnt understand what happened, the bench had been turned over by the waves, xiao Ming fell on the ground and hurried to find his parents.However, the picture was completely changed: the busy railway station turned into a heap of ruins, a vast sea of people disappeared, and some of them were killed by a bomb.Some are injured;There was a hasty departure from the railway station.The earth flowed with blood.Xiaoming watched in horror as everything in sight, sitting on the ground crying immediately, the smoke permeated in the air, no one spoke to xiao Ming, xiao Ming tried to shout: "dad, mom," but father and mother can no longer promised him...

Dear teachers and students,

hello everyone!

Today, the theme of my speech is "labor is the most glorious."

Labor creates human beings, wealth and happiness. Yes! Only labor is happy, only labor is happy, only labor is the most glorious. Every bit around us is the crystallization of labor. Architects build a beautiful campus with bricks and tiles; gardeners plant every plant; teachers prepare wonderful lessons for us in the evening; parents are busy early in the morning just to prepare delicious breakfast for us They are not the same person, but they have a glorious name - workers! They make our life colorful!

Students, labor is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. There are a group of labor loving people around us. They clean the classroom and clean area silently every day and pick up the garbage on the ground silently They make the school clean, but some people mercilessly destroy the fruits of their labor; some students throw rubbish in the classroom when they are on duty; some gardeners decorate the campus as a beautiful garden; some students trample and pick flowers at will; some teachers prepare lessons painstakingly, and some students dont listen; Parents get up early and make breakfast in the dark, some students throw it away The actions of those who do not respect others and destroy the fruits of their labor are shameful.

Mill said: "all existing things are the fruits of labor." Yes, without labor, there would be no happy life for us. The food we eat, the house we live in and the clothes we wear are all created by labor. It is labor that creates happiness, harmonious beauty of society and human beings. Therefore, labor is the most glorious!

Students: lets take action and create a bright future with our hands! My speech is over.

Thank you!

The exact origins of Duan Wu are unclear, but one traditional view holdsthat the festival memorializes the Chinese poet Qu Yuan (c. 340 BC-278 BC) ofthe Warring States Period. He committed suicide by drowning himself in a riverbecause he was disgusted by the

corruption of the Chu government. The local people, knowing him to be agood man, decided to throw food into the river to feed the fish so they wouldnot eat Qus body. They also sat on long, narrow paddle boats called dragonboats, and tried to scare the fish away by the sound of drums aboard the boatand the fierce looking carved dragon head on the boats prow(船头).

In the early years of the Chinese Republic, Duan Wu was also celebrated as"PoetsDay,"due to Qu Yuans status as Chinas first poet of personalrenown(名声名望).

Today, people eat bamboo-wrapped steamed glutinous(粘的) rice dumplingscalled zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fish) and race dragonboats in memory of Qus dramatic death.

I cant help but learn how my mother looks wrapped inbrown. You dont think its easy to keep your hands off the bleeding.

古历的五月初五是我国的传统节日——端午节。我家过端午节常常是包棕子、吃棕子、门上插艾蒿,来纪念我国古代伟大的爱国诗人屈原。

端午节到啦!要吃棕子了!听说要吃棕子我一蹦三尺高,口水直流,仿佛闻到一阵棕子清香味朴鼻而来。我迫不及侍的跑进厨房,只见妈妈手中拿着棕叶,正聚精会神的包着棕子,像变魔术一样,不一会儿一个个小巧玲珑的棕子包好啦!我忍不住学着妈妈的样子包棕子,正在放糯米的时候,哎呀!不小心把手划出血了,你别以为看着简单,包着可不容易呢!

今年端午节过的真有趣!

英文演讲 篇21

thank you, mr. chairman.

mr. chairman, i join my colleague mr. rangel in thanking you for giving the junior members of this committee the glorious opportunity of sharing the pain of this inquiry. mr. chairman, you are a strong man, and it has not been easy but we have tried as best we can to give you as much assistance as possible.

earlier today, we heard the beginning of the preamble to the constitution of the united states: "we, the people." it's a very eloquent beginning. but when that document was completed on the seventeenth of september in 1787, i was not included in that "we, the people." i felt somehow for many years that george washington and alexander hamilton just left me out by mistake. but through the process of amendment, interpretation, and court decision, i have finally been included in "we, the people."

today i am an inquisitor. an hyperbole would not be fictional and would not overstate the solemnness that i feel right now. my faith in the constitution is whole; it is complete; it is total. and i am not going to sit here and be an idle spectator to the diminution, the subversion, the destruction, of the constitution.

"who can so properly be the inquisitors for the nation as the representatives of the nation themselves?" "the subjects of its jurisdiction are those offenses which proceed from the misconduct of public men."¹ and that's what we're talking about. in other words, [the jurisdiction comes] from the abuse or violation of some public trust.

it is wrong, i suggest, it is a misreading of the constitution for any member here to assert that for a member to vote for an article of impeachment means that that member must be convinced that the president should be removed from office. the constitution doesn't say that. the powers relating to impeachment are an essential check in the hands of the body of the legislature against and upon the encroachments of the executive. the division between the two branches of the legislature, the house and the senate, assigning to the one the right to accuse and to the other the right to judge, the framers of this constitution were very astute. they did not make the accusers and the judgers -- and the judges the same person.

we know the nature of impeachment. we've been talking about it awhile now. it is chiefly designed for the president and his high ministers to somehow be called into account. it is designed to "bridle" the executive if he engages in excesses. "it is designed as a method of national inquest into the conduct of public men."² the framers confided in the congress the power if need be, to remove the president in order to strike a delicate balance between a president swollen with power and grown tyrannical, and preservation of the independence of the executive.
