英語課前五分鐘小故事演講 篇1
good morning/afternoon/evening to mr.____(your teacher's name) and my friends.
i would like to introduce you a short novel named “the old man and the sea”.
it is written by ernest hemingway in cuba in 1951 and published in 1952.
the story of an aging, life-long fisherman who attempts to find himself, and hopefully a fish, on a fishing trip in the gulf waters off cuba.
after spending most of his life alone and losing his only companion who is a young cuban boy, the old man heads out to sea once again.
his 84 days without a notable catch end on this trip, but will he be able to defeat the odds after catching a gigantic marlin?
this short novel is universal in its consideration of the plight of an old man struggling against age, loneliness, mortality, humility and poverty to maintain his identity and dignity. apart from that, the cheerful and optimistic old man wants to reestablish his reputation in the community. besides, he also wants to ensure for all time his relationship with those he loves and to whom he hopes to paon everything he values the most. finally, he survives and wins the battle. this has shown his heroic struggle not only redeems himself but also inspires and spiritually enriches those around him.
thanks for your attention.
a common concept among some people is that opportunities are few. they always complain that opportunities never occur to them. they only admire those people who make a hit or succeed by seizing some opportunities, and always wonder why they are never given a good opportunity to show their talent.
another common notion is that there are opportunities everywhere. opportunity may occur to anybody at any time and under any circumstances as long as he/she keeps ma-ki-ng constant efforts. as a student, you can get to the top through your hard work. as a businessman, you can succeed through accurate calculation and with a complete certainty that you can make a profit.
in my opinion, opportunity favors only those who keep trying and who are ready for it. as the saying goes "god helps those who help themselves", so no matter whether there's opportunity or not, what we should do is to study, to learn and become learned people, only in this way can you seize your opportunity when it occurs. so never say there's no opportunity again, opportunities are around us.

Over the past Spring Festival, I got involved in a family dispute. Right before I got home, four satellite channels of CCTV were added to the 14 channels we had already had. In prime time at night, they all had interesting shows. Therefore, the five of us-my parents, my sisters and I-had to argue over what to watch. Finally, we agreed that we should watch the "most interesting" programme... If we could agree what that was.
However, all of us there remember that for a long time after we had TV, there were only one or two channels available. The increase in options reveals an important change in our life: the abundance of choice.
Fifteen years ago we all dressed in one style and in one colour. Today, we select from a wide variety of designs and shades.
Fifteen years ago, we read few newspapers. Today, we read English newspapers like the China Daily and the 21st Century, as well as various Chinese newspapers.
Fifteen years ago, English majors took only courses in language and literature. Today, we also study Western culture, journalism, business communications, international relations, and computer science.
The emergence of choices marks the beginning of a new era in China's history; an era of diversity, of material and cultural richness, and an era of the rebirth of the Chinese nation.
We enjoy the abundance of choice. But this has not come easily.
About 150 years ago, China was forced to open up its door by Western canons and gunboats. It has been through the struggle and sacrifice of generations that we finally have gained the opportunity to choose for ourselves. The policy of reform and openness is the choice that has made all the difference.
Like others of my age, I'm too young to have experienced the time when the Chinese people had no right to choose. However, as the next century draws near, it is time to ask: What does choice really mean to us young people?
Is choice a game that relies on chance or luck? Is choice an empty promise that never materializes? Or is choice a puzzle so difficult that we have to avoid it?
First, I would like to say: To choose means to claim opportunities.
I am a third-year English major. An important choice for me, of course, is what to do upon graduation. I can go to graduate school, at home or abroad. I can go to work as a teacher, a translator, a journalist, an editor and a diplomat. Actually, the system of mutual selection has allowed me to approach almost every career opportunity in China.
Indeed, this is not going to be an easy choice. I would love to work in such big cities as Beijing or Shanghai or Shenzhen. I would also love to return to my hometown, which is intimate, though slightly lagging in development. I would love to stay in the coastal area where life is exciting and fast-paced. I would also love to put down roots in central and western China, which is underdeveloped, but holds great potential.

尊敬的老師,親愛的同學們:
大家好!
誠信,誠信,簡單的從字面上理解就是誠信+信用=誠信。一個人是否講誠心,有信用,也就代表著他人是否對你守誠信。誠信是一種美德,也是你是否值得別人相信的一種標志。誠信就猶如一股暖流,能流進每個人心底最深的那個地方。講誠信,以誠為本,以信為先。
你身邊的朋友數不勝數,可是真真正正能對你做到守誠信的又能有幾個呢?我算不算幸運,因為我曾經就擁有一個這樣的好朋友。
因為時隔已久,我早已記不清她姓甚名誰,只模糊的記得那是一個冬天的晚上,寒風如一把把利刃刮過路上行人的臉龐。我倆也不知是誰一時之間心血來潮,想在這大東天的晚上去廣場上看噴泉?闪硪粋人竟也沒有反對,一股腦的就答應了。于是我倆約定好時間晚上一同前去觀賞?晌液髞硪换丶掖蜷_電視就忘了。直到后來要出門時才想起了她,再一看時間,離約定的時間早已過了一個半小時,我從從與母親解釋就像廣場奔去。心中滿是愧疚的我四處張望,希望能找到她的身影,卻連她的影子都沒有看見。我自嘲的笑了,本就是我未守約定,怎還能期望她仍在等我呢!我灰心喪氣的準備往家走,忽然一個灰色的身影闖入我的視線:只見她蹲在地上,無聊的用手指都弄著螞蟻,不厭其煩的擺弄著它們。
可能是蹲的太久了,又站了起來,不停地踱來踱去,嘴里小聲地嘀咕著什么,臉上露出焦急的神色,不時往往手腕上的手表,又抬頭看看天色。盡管如此,可她卻絲毫沒有一點要先行離開的意思,大有一種不等到我來誓不罷休之感。我小心翼翼地靠近她,輕輕地拍了拍她的肩膀,她一轉身,臉上露出一種驚喜之感,卻只聽見她說:“你終于來了,快,我們去看噴泉吧!”我笑了,心中有千言萬語的愧疚之情想要表達哦,卻都只化為:“好啊。”我想:我真的有想過她已經等不及了,自己看完噴泉先行離開,不過我也不會怪她,畢竟是我自己先不守約定的,卻未料,她仍舊傻傻的寧愿在這吹冷風也不愿先行離去,我心中的愧疚就更深了。
后來的是我也記不清了,只隱約記得她沒過多久就全家搬走了,只剩下我一個人經常去那廣場回憶傻傻的她,回憶她執(zhí)著的等待以及那珍貴的一個半小時……
也許是我們的緣分不夠,如此好友,卻就只是我生命中的一個過客,轉瞬即逝。但我不會忘記這過客曾經傻傻的堅持,其實那不傻,那是人十分珍貴的信用,是用多少錢都無法換去的美德。我想做人就應該像她那樣以誠為本,以信為先。
著名的德國詩人海涅曾說過:“生命不可能從謊言中開出燦爛的鮮花。”我覺得這句話就像發(fā)生在我身上的這件事一半,因為擁有誠信,所以我看到了生命中燦爛的鮮花!
