英文比賽演講稿：we must stand up from where we fall down
all the celebrations welcoming the new century were hold in the year , because life without a greeting is like the sky without the sun.greetings are very important for the whole world,in my opinion.
but i don’t know whether greetings are enough for us.especially when we meet with failures .i remember quite clearly that when i was a child,if i fall down and was on the brink of crying,my father always told me"please stand up from where you fall down!"
yes,we must stand up from where we fall down.
that was a special mid night in 1993.expectations filled our hearts.
we stared at the tv,hoping excitedly as the voice would fly to our ears.
but at last,each chinese who loves our motherland was distressed to know the result:beijing ,lost to sydeny by a margin of two votes in the olympic hosting competition.
eight years have past,but the frustration has not healed with time at all.
now,at the begining of the new millennium,all of the pride and disappointment of the 20th century had gone with the wind. the 21st century,which is full of hope,longing znd thought has come. someone said,we would start from zero on.
should i really start from zero on?
no!i hold that we should go on with our efferts and ambitions stayed by last century,and make our life better.
"new beijing,great olympics!" the voice cries this out around china’scaptital,a 3,000 -year-old city these days.
beijing,along with paris,istanbul,osake and toronto,has been shortlisted by the international olympic committee as an official candidate city for the 2012 olympic games.
this is beijing’s second attempt to host the games.
everyone fully supports beijing’s bid for it.
maybe,we can paint fences along the main roads of beijing.
maybe,we can make much of yhe city cleaned up.
maybe,we can learn and speak basic english idioms and expressions for daily communication.
but,but are they just enough?
facing the new century,mankind is driven by the revolution of science and technoiogy,world economy is undergoing broud and profound changes.
