英語演講稿初一 篇1
As you slowly open your eyes, look around , notice where the light comesinto your room; listen carefully, see if there are new sounds you can recognize;feel with your body and spirit, and see if you can sense the freshness in theair. Yes, yes, yes, it’s a new day, it’s a different day, and it’s a bright day!And most importantly, it is a new beginning for your life, a beginning where youare going to make new desicisions, take new actions, make new friends, and takeyour life to a totally unprecedented level! You know all this is real as long asyou are confident,passionate and committed! And you are confident, you arepassionate, you are committed!
You will no longer fear making new sounds, showing new facial expressions,using your body in new ways,approaching new people, and asking new questions.You will live every single day of your life with absolute passion, and you willshow your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take. You willfocus all your time and effort on the most important goals of your life. Youwill never succumb to challenges of hardships. You will never waver in yourpursuit of excellence. After all,you are the best, and you deserve the best!
As your coach and friend, I can assure you the door to all the best thingsin the world will open to you, but the key to that door is in your hand. Youmust do your part, you must faithfully follow the plans you make and take theactions you plan, you must never quit, you must never fear. I know you must doit, you can do it, you will do it, and you will succeed!
Now stand firm and tall, make a fist, get excited, and yell it out: I mustdo it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed! I must do it! I can do it! Iwill do it! I will succeed! I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I willsucceed!
英語演講稿初一 篇2
A lady went to a hat shop to buy a hat。 As she was very fussy, it took hera long time to pick on one。 Already at the end of his patience the salesman wasafraid that she might change her mind again so he tried to flatter her: "Anexcellent choice, madam。 You look at least ten years younger with this hat on!"To his dismay, the lady took off her hat at once and said: "I don't want a hatthat makes me look ten years older as soon as I take it off。 Show me some morehats!"
一位婦女到一家帽子店買帽子。她很挑剔,用了很長時光才選好了一頂。已經(jīng)忍耐到極限的售貨員害怕她再改變主意,便恭維她:"你做了極好的選取,夫人。你戴上這頂帽子看上去起碼年輕十歲!"但令他沮喪的是,這位女士立刻摘下了她的帽子說:"我不想要一頂摘下來便使我立刻顯得老十歲的帽子。多拿一些帽子給我看看!

there was a guy who went into a shop to buy a parrot。 there werethreeparrots in the shop。 one was $5,000; another one, $10,000; and the third one,$30,000。 the customer asked the owner, “how e this guy is $5,000? that?s soexpensive for this kindof parrot! the owner said, “because i have trained himand he can talk! so the customer asked him, “how about this guy? what can he dothat makes him so expensive?” the owner said, “well, apart from talking, he canalso do some amusing actions,like dancing and so on。 that?s why he?s soexpensive! then the customer said, “how about the third one? what canhe do thatmakes him so expensive?” the owner of the shopsaid, “i don?t know。 normally, ihave never heard him talk, nor dance, nor whistle, nor sing, nothing at all! butthe other two call him ?the boss。?”
有個人到一間商店買鸚鵡。店里有三只鸚鵡,其中一只賣五千元,另一只賣一萬元,還有一只賣三萬元。
顧客問老板:「為什么這只要賣五千元?這個價錢對這種鸚鵡來說太貴了!」
老板說:「因為我有訓(xùn)練他講話!
顧客又問:「那這只呢?他會做什么?為什么要賣這么貴?」
老板說:「他除了會說話之外,還會表演一些搞笑的動作,好比說跳舞等等,所以才賣這么貴。」
顧客之后又問:「那第三只呢?他會做什么?為什么要賣這么貴?」
老板說:「我不明白。我從沒聽過他講話、吹口哨或唱歌,也沒看過他跳舞,什么都沒有!但是另外兩只叫他:『老板!』
英語演講稿初一 篇4
A Brother Like That A Brother Like That A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. "Is this your car, Mister?"
he said. Paul nodded. "My brother gave it to me for Christmas."
The boy was astounded. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing? Boy, I wish . . ."
He hesitated. Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels. "I wish,"
the boy went on, "That I could be a brother like that."
Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, "Would you like to take a ride in my car?"
"Oh yes, Id love that."
After a short ride, the boy turned with his eyes aglow, said, "Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?"
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?"
the boy asked. He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sathim down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car. "There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day Im gonna give you one just like it . . . then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that Ive been trying to tell you about."
Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride. That Christmas Eve, Paul learned what Jesus meant when he said: "It is more blessed to give . . . "
中文譯文;
哥哥的心愿圣誕節(jié)時,保羅的哥哥送他一輛新車。圣誕節(jié)當(dāng)天,保羅離開辦公室時,一個男孩繞著那輛閃閃發(fā)亮的新車,十分贊嘆地問:
"先生,這是你的車?"
保羅點點頭:"這是我哥哥送給我的圣誕節(jié)禮物。"男孩滿臉驚訝,支支吾吾地說:"你是說這是你哥送的禮物,沒花你一分錢?天哪,我真希望也能……"
保羅當(dāng)然知道男孩他真想希望什么。他希望能有一個象那樣的哥哥。但是小男孩接下來說的話卻完全出乎了保羅的意料。
"我希望自己能成為送車給弟弟的哥哥。"男孩繼續(xù)說。
保羅驚愕地看著那男孩,沖口而出地說:"你要不要坐我的車去兜風(fēng)?"
"哦,當(dāng)然好了,我太想坐了!"
車開了一小段路后,那孩子轉(zhuǎn)過頭來,眼睛閃閃發(fā)亮,對我說:"先生,你能不能把車子開到我家門前?"
保羅微笑,他知道孩子想干什么。那男孩必定是要向鄰居炫耀,讓大家知道他坐了一部大轎車回家。但是這次保羅又猜錯了。"你能不能把車子停在那兩個臺階前?"男孩要求道。
男孩跑上了階梯,過了一會兒保羅聽到他回來了,但動作似乎有些緩慢。原來把他跛腳的弟弟帶出來了,將他安置在第一個臺階上,緊緊地抱著他,指著那輛新車。
只聽那男孩告訴弟弟:"你看,這就是我剛才在樓上對你說的那輛新車。這是保羅他哥哥送給他的哦!將來我也會送給你一輛像這樣的車,到那時候你就能自己去看那些在圣誕節(jié)時,掛窗口上的漂亮飾品了,就象我告訴過你的那樣。"
保羅走下車子,把跛腳男孩抱到車子的前座。興奮得滿眼放光的哥哥也爬上車子,坐在弟弟的身旁。就這樣他們?nèi)碎_始一次令人難忘的假日兜風(fēng)。
那個圣誕夜,保羅才真正體會主耶穌所說的"施比受更有福"的道理。

英語演講稿初一 篇6
Hi, everyone. As we all know,many great inventions have brought greatchanges to our life. I think we students can also invent something.
大家好!我們都知道,許多偉大的發(fā)明給我們的生活帶來了巨大的變化。我認(rèn)為我們學(xué)生也可以發(fā)明一些東西。
Today I'm glad to be here to talk about what I'd like to invent - a chairthat's good for students' health. It will be made of wood. There will be twosensors in it -- one on the seat, and the other on the back of the chair. Whenthe student doesn't sit straight, the chair will remind him .If he sits on thechair for over one hour ,it will make a noise. It won't stop until the studentstands up and leaves.
今天我很高興到這里來談?wù)撐蚁氚l(fā)明——一把椅子,對學(xué)生的健康有好處。這將是用木頭做的。將會有兩個傳感器,一個在椅子上,另一個在椅子后背。當(dāng)學(xué)生不坐直,椅子會提醒他。如果他坐在椅子上超過一個小時,這將發(fā)出噪音。它不會停止,直到學(xué)生站起來,離開了。
It will be a useful invention, won't it ?
這將是一個有用的發(fā)明,不是嗎?
Thank you!
謝謝大家!
英語演講稿初一 篇7
Knowledge collaboration and all-round education
Ladies and gentlemen,
We engineering students take it for granted that technology is changing incredibly fast. We are thinking nervously and seriously whether our colleges are failing to provide a foundation in the skills currently needed in industry. Take my major telecommunications for example. Scientists say that 21st century is a biomedical time, not an electrical time. But without the help of electronic data processing and transformation, biomedical technology alone cannot go too far. Funny enough, the word biomedical itself is just a combination of two disciplines. So the interdisciplinary exploitation serves as the critical part for our electric and electronics world as well as any other fields to find new way of being.
But the power of knowledge collaboration is certainly not restricted to science and engineering; it is in the full community of learning. Walking around campus I absorbed a reality that there is a seamless web between students from different professional backgrounds. The engineering students are discussing animatedly in a philosophy lecture, speaking passionately in the public speaking club, and looking for sparkling ideas from learning history and arts. How wonderful that is! That, ladies and gentleman, is just a significant step forward to be well-rounded because once we jump out of the circle we can see the bigger picture.
My friends, I hope that you have already got what university is all about. Please let me end my speech with the Nobel Prize winner Li Zhengdao’s words: “The realization of the perfect combination of science and engineering, science and arts, technology and humanity, is the greatest symbol of a university’s success.” Thank you.
知識的融合和人才的全面發(fā)展
我們理工科的學(xué)生都知道科技在以一種難以置信的速度變化發(fā)展著。我們都在緊張和嚴(yán)肅地思考著是否我們的大學(xué)能夠為我們提供一個適應(yīng)當(dāng)前工業(yè)需要的知識基礎(chǔ)。以我的專業(yè)通信工程為例,科學(xué)家們說21世紀(jì)是生物醫(yī)學(xué)的世紀(jì),而不是電氣電子的世紀(jì)。但是如果沒有電子化的數(shù)據(jù)處理和轉(zhuǎn)換,生物醫(yī)學(xué)時代就不能發(fā)展。有趣的是:“生物醫(yī)學(xué)”這個詞本身就是兩個學(xué)科的結(jié)合,所以跨學(xué)科的開發(fā)手段就成了電氣電子領(lǐng)域以以及其他任何領(lǐng)域?qū)ふ倚鲁雎返年P(guān)鍵。
但是知識的結(jié)合不僅僅局限在科學(xué)和工程中,而是在任何的學(xué)習(xí)中。徜徉在校園里,我看到了這樣一個事實:理工科學(xué)生們在哲學(xué)講座上討論得熱火朝天,在演講俱樂部里激情地演說,在歷史和藝術(shù)里尋找著閃光的思想。太棒了!朋友們,這就是我們能夠全面發(fā)展的重要一步,因為當(dāng)我們跳出自己的圈子時,我們能看到更大的圖畫。
朋友們,我希望你們已經(jīng)意識到了大學(xué)教育究竟意味著什么。讓我以諾貝爾獎獲得者李政道先生的話結(jié)束我的演講:“科學(xué)與工程,科學(xué)與藝術(shù),科技與人道的完美結(jié)合,乃是大學(xué)教育的最大成功。”
謝謝。

beating in the darkness, such as paint, let the darkness of endless fear inthe hearts, but it is still the eastern end of the horizon, no hurry do notdelay a trace of light; squally showers, the wind off revealing the end it'sstill a shiny sky rainbow. eventually at the end of the night, demos will besunny, life it not so?
experienced the baptism of the sky, will be more air out, more blue;experienced suffering setbacks in life, will be more eye-catching shine."western show," wang luo, life is full of legendary, filling the suffering ofhis life, and his life to accept enron's "pain kiss." wandering in the west,wandering in the sand in the sky, like a storm in the olive, with a "demos willbe clear," the faith, dedication to watch their dreams. finally, he returned tomeet not only the clear sky after rain, there was the warm sun, there is thattired swing spring. demos will be clear, is a firm belief, is an optimisticaspiration. like wang luo, difficulties always maintained a positive andoptimistic beliefs, sincere look forward to a better tomorrow, and the fate ofhis feedback, it is the brightest future.

英語演講稿初一 篇9
The power of yet.
專注過程,而不是結(jié)果。
I heard about a highschool in Chicago where students had to pass a certain number of courses tograduate, and if they didn't pass a course, they got the grade "NotYet." And I thought that was fantastic, because if you get a failinggrade, you think, I'm nothing, I'm nowhere. But if you get the grade "NotYet" you understand that you're on a learning curve. It gives you a pathinto the future.
我聽說,在芝加哥有一所高中,那兒的學(xué)生畢業(yè)前要通過一系列課程,如果某一門課沒有通過,成績就是「暫未通過」。我想,這真是個絕妙的做法,因為,如果你某門課的成績不及格,你會想,我什么都不是,我什么都沒有學(xué)到。但如果你的成績是「暫未通過」,你會明白,學(xué)習(xí)的步伐并沒有停下,你還需逐步向前,爭取未來。
"Not Yet"also gave me insight into a critical event early in my career, a real turningpoint. I wanted to see how children coped with challenge and difficulty, so Igave 10-year-olds problems that were slightly too hard for them. Some of them reactedin a shockingly positive way. They said things like, "I love achallenge," or, "You know, I was hoping this would beinformative."
「暫未通過」也讓我聯(lián)想起一件尤為重要的、發(fā)生在我職業(yè)生涯初期的事情,這件事對我而言是一個轉(zhuǎn)折點。當(dāng)時,我想探究孩子是如何應(yīng)對挑戰(zhàn)和困難的,因此,我讓一些10歲大的孩子嘗試解決一些對于他們而言稍稍偏難的問題。一些孩子積極應(yīng)對的方式讓我感到震驚。他們會這樣說,「我喜歡挑戰(zhàn),」或說,「你知道的,我希望能有所獲!
They understood that their abilities could be developed.They had what I call a growth mindset. But other students felt it was tragic,catastrophic. From their more fixed mindset perspective, their intelligence hadbeen up for judgment and they failed. Instead of luxuriating in the power ofyet, they were gripped in the tyranny of now.
這些孩子明白,他們的能力是可以提升的。他們有我所說的成長型思維模式。但另一些孩子覺得面對這些難題是不幸,宛如面對一場災(zāi)難。從他們的固定型思維角度來看,他們的才智受到了評判,而他們失敗了。他們不懂得享受學(xué)習(xí)的過程,而只盯住眼前的成與敗。
So what do they donext? I'll tell you what they do next. In one study, they told us they wouldprobably cheat the next time instead of studying more if they failed a test. Inanother study, after a failure, they looked for someone who did worse than theydid so they could feel really good about themselves. And in study after study,they have run from difficulty.
這些孩子們后面表現(xiàn)如何?讓我告訴你他們的表現(xiàn)。在一項研究中,他們告訴我們,如果他們某次考試未通過,他們很可能會在下次考試中作弊,而不是更加努力地學(xué)習(xí)。在另一項研究中,他們掛了一門后,他們會找到那些考得還不如他們高的孩子,以尋求自我安慰。后續(xù)的研究陸續(xù)表明,他們會逃避困難。
Scientists measured the electrical activity fromthe brain as students confronted an error. On the left, you see the fixedmindset students. There's hardly any activity. They run from the error. Theydon't engage with it. But on the right, you have the students with the growthmindset, the idea that abilities can be developed. They engage deeply. Theirbrain is on fire with yet. They engage deeply. They process the error. Theylearn from it and they correct it.
科學(xué)家們監(jiān)測了學(xué)生們面對錯誤時的腦電活動圖像。在左側(cè),是固定型思維模式的學(xué)生,幾乎沒有什么活動。他們在錯誤面前選擇了逃避。他們沒有積極地投入。但請看右側(cè),這是成長型思維模式的學(xué)生,這些學(xué)生相信能力會通過鍛煉得以提升。他們積極地應(yīng)對錯誤。他們的大腦在高速運轉(zhuǎn),他們積極地投入,他們剖析錯誤,從中學(xué)習(xí),最終訂正。
How are we raising ourchildren? Are we raising them for now instead of yet? Are we raising kids whoare obsessed with getting A's? Are we raising kids who don't know how to dreambig dreams? Their biggest goal is getting the next A or the next test score?
如今我們是如何教育孩子的呢?是教育他們專注眼前,而不是注重過程嗎?我們培育了一些迷戀刷A的孩子們嗎?我們培育了沒有遠(yuǎn)大理想的孩子們嗎?他們最遠(yuǎn)大的目標(biāo)就是再拿一個A,心里所想的就是下一次考試嗎?
And are they carrying this need for constant validation with them into theirfuture lives? Maybe, because employers are coming to me and saying, we havealready raised a generation of young workers who can't get through the daywithout an award.
他們在今后的生活中,都以分?jǐn)?shù)的高低來評判自己嗎?或許是的,因為企業(yè)雇主們跑來找我,說我們養(yǎng)育的這新一代走上工作崗位的人,如果不給他們獎勵,他們一天都過不下去。
So what can we do? Howcan we build that bridge to yet?
我們該怎么做呢?如何讓孩子注重過程而不是結(jié)果呢?
Here are some things wecan do. First of all, we can praise wisely, not praising intelligence ortalent. That has failed. Don't do that anymore. But praising the process thatkids engage in: their effort, their strategies, their focus, theirperseverance, their improvement. This process praise creates kids who are hardyand resilient.
我們可以做這樣幾件事。首先,我們可以有技巧地去表揚:不去表揚天分或才智,這行不通。不要再這樣做了。而是要對孩子積極投入的過程進(jìn)行表揚:他們的努力與策略,他們的專注、堅持與進(jìn)步。對過程的表揚,會塑造孩子的韌性。
There are other ways toreward yet. We recently teamed up with game scientists from the University ofWashington to create a new online math game that rewarded yet. In this game,students were rewarded for effort, strategy and progress. The usual math gamerewards you for getting answers right right now, but this game rewardedprocess. And we got more effort, more strategies, more engagement over longerperiods of time, and more perseverance when they hit really, really hardproblems.
還有其他的辦法來獎勵過程。最近,我們與來自華盛頓大學(xué)的游戲研究者合作,制作了一款獎勵過程的數(shù)學(xué)游戲。在這個游戲中,學(xué)生們因他們的努力、策略與進(jìn)步而受到獎勵。通常的數(shù)學(xué)游戲中,玩家只有在解得正確答案后才能得到獎勵,但這個游戲獎勵過程。隨著游戲的深入,孩子們更加努力,想出更多的策略,身心更加投入,當(dāng)遇到尤為困難的問題時,他們也展現(xiàn)了更為持久的韌勁。
Just the words"yet" or "not yet," we're finding, give kids greaterconfidence, give them a path into the future that creates greater persistence.And we can actually change students' mindsets. In one study, we taught themthat every time they push out of their comfort zone to learn something new anddifficult, the neurons in their brain can form new, stronger connections, andover time they can get smarter.
我們發(fā)現(xiàn),注重過程的思維模式,會賦予孩子們更多自信,指引他們不斷向前,越發(fā)堅持不懈。事實上,我們能夠改變學(xué)生的思維模式。在一項研究中,我們告訴學(xué)生們,每當(dāng)他們迫使自己走出舒適區(qū),學(xué)習(xí)新知識,迎接新挑戰(zhàn),大腦中的神經(jīng)元會形成新的、更強(qiáng)的連接,他們會逐漸變得越來越聰明。
Look what happened: inthis study, students who were not taught this growth mindset continued to showdeclining grades over this difficult school transition, but those who weretaught this lesson showed a sharp rebound in their grades. We have shown thisnow, this kind of improvement, with thousands and thousands of kids, especiallystruggling students.
看看后面發(fā)生了什么吧:在這項研究中,沒有接受成長型思維模式訓(xùn)練的學(xué)生,在這一困難的過渡階段,成績持續(xù)下滑,但那些受過該訓(xùn)練的學(xué)生,成績強(qiáng)勢反彈,卓有起色。如今,我們已證實這一結(jié)論,通過成千上萬個孩子的實例,尤其是那些在學(xué)業(yè)上掙扎的孩子。
So let's talk aboutequality. In our country, there are groups of students who chronically underperform,for example, children in inner cities, or children on Native Americanreservations. And they've done so poorly for so long that many people thinkit's inevitable. But when educators create growth mindset classrooms steeped inyet, equality happens.
那我們就來談?wù)劷逃降劝。在我們國家,有些特定區(qū)域的孩子總是在學(xué)業(yè)上處于下游,比如,內(nèi)城區(qū)的孩子,或印第安人居留地里的孩子。長期以來這里的孩子都沒什么起色, 以致于很多人認(rèn)為沒的救了。但是當(dāng)教育家們將孩子的思維轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)槌砷L型思維模式時,教育平等實現(xiàn)了。
And here are just a few examples. In one year, akindergarten class in Harlem, New York scored in the 95th percentile on theNational Achievement Test. Many of those kids could not hold a pencil when theyarrived at school. In one year, fourth grade students in the South Bronx, waybehind, became the number one fourth grade class in the state of New York onthe state math test. In a year to a year and a half, Native American studentsin a school on a reservation went from the bottom of their district to the top,and that district included affluent sections of Seattle. So the native kidsoutdid the Microsoft kids.
舉幾個例子吧。紐約哈萊姆區(qū)的一所幼兒園的學(xué)生在一年的時間內(nèi),國家水平測試(NationalAchievement Test) 成績飛躍到前百分之五。這些孩子中有很多在入學(xué)時甚至還不會握筆。一年之內(nèi),遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)落后的南布朗克斯區(qū)的四年級學(xué)生,其標(biāo)準(zhǔn)數(shù)學(xué)測試成績攀升到紐約州所有四年級學(xué)生的第一名。在一年到一年半的時間內(nèi), 某印第安人居留地的一所學(xué)校里的學(xué)生成績從全區(qū)墊底到名列前茅,而這個區(qū)包括了西雅圖市的富饒地段。印第安孩子戰(zhàn)勝了「微軟」孩子。
This happened becausethe meaning of effort and difficulty were transformed. Before, effort anddifficulty made them feel dumb, made them feel like giving up, but now, effortand difficulty, that's when their neurons are making new connections, strongerconnections. That's when they're getting smarter.
這得以實現(xiàn)的原因,是努力與困難的意義在孩子心目中發(fā)生了改變。在此之前,努力與困難讓他們感覺自己很笨,讓他們想放棄,但如今,正是努力與困難讓他們大腦中的神經(jīng)元得以形成新的連接,更強(qiáng)的連接。正是在這個過程中,他們變得越來越聰明。
I received a letterrecently from a 13-year-old boy. He said, "Dear Professor Dweck, Iappreciate that your writing is based on solid scientific research, and that'swhy I decided to put it into practice. I put more effort into my schoolwork,into my relationship with my family, and into my relationship with kids atschool, and I experienced great improvement in all of those areas. I nowrealize I've wasted most of my life."
最近,我收到一個13歲男孩的來信。他說,「親愛的德韋克教授,我欣賞你的著作,因為它們都基于可靠的科學(xué)試驗,因此,我決定將你的方法付諸實踐。我更用功地學(xué)習(xí),更用心地處好與家人的關(guān)系,與同學(xué)的關(guān)系,而在這些方面我都有了長足的進(jìn)步,F(xiàn)在我才意識到,過去浪費了太多生命。」
Let's not waste anymore lives, because once we know that abilities are capable of such growth, itbecomes a basic human right for children, all children, to live in places thatcreate that growth, to live in places filled with yet.
讓我們不再浪費生命, 因為,既然我們知道 能力可以增長,那么,生活在一個能激發(fā)進(jìn)步并讓這一切變得可能的地方就是每個孩子的權(quán)利。
Thank you.(Applause)
謝謝。(掌聲)
英語演講稿初一 篇10
who and groups famously follow the opinions of the most dominant or charismatic person in the room, even though there's zero correlation between being the best talker and having the best ideas -- i mean zero. so ... (laughter) you might be following the person with the best ideas, but you might not. and do you really want to leave it up to chance? much better for everybody to go off by themselves, generate their own ideas freed from the distortions of group dynamics, and then come together as a team to talk them through in a well-managed environment and take it from there.
now if all this is true, then why are we getting it so wrong? why are we setting up our schools this way and our workplaces? and why are we making these introverts feel so guilty about wanting to just go off by themselves some of the time? one answer lies deep in our cultural history. western societies, and in particular the u.s., have always favored the man of action over the man of contemplation and “man“ of contemplation. but in america's early days, we lived in what historians call a culture of character, where we still, at that point, valued people for their inner selves and their moral rectitude. and if you look at the self-help books from this era, they all had titles with things like “character, the grandest thing in the world.“ and they featured role models like abraham lincoln who was praised for being modest and unassuming. ralph waldo emerson called him “a man who does not offend by superiority.“
but then we hit the 20th century and we entered a new culture that historians call the culture of personality. what happened is we had evolved an agricultural economy to a world of big business. and so suddenly people are moving from small towns to the cities. and instead of working alongside people they've known all their lives, now they are having to prove themselves in a crowd of strangers. so, quite understandably, qualities like magnetism and charisma suddenly come to seem really important. and sure enough, the self-help books change to meet these new needs and they start to have names like “how to win friends and influence people.“ and they feature as their role models really great salesmen. so that's the world we're living in today. that's our cultural inheritance.

Everyone!Now I want to talk about a beautiful world!
When I was young,I always dreamed that I lived in a beautiful country. There were many flowers and trees around our city.We could hear the birds singing and see the children dancing. The streets were clear and the the air was very fresh! How nice it was! As is known to all , we have a beautiful world .we can see the sun shining. we can see the moon in a full view. we can see the birds flying in the sky. we can see the horses running on the plain. But that only was a dream of mine! The world is not as beautiul as before, for human beings have brought a disaster to the world.How I wish that it would be come true! So I think we should do something to protect our environment.
However, there are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years. One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water and soil. the polluted air does great harm to people’s health. The polluted water causes diseases and death. What is more, vegetation had been greatly reduced with the rapid growth of modern cities.On the one hand, the environment pollution and destruction are getting worse and worse in the modern world. On the other hand, the lack of knowledge about the importance of protecting environment hinders the solving of the problem. In a word, there is a long way to go before we enjoy a clean and comfortable world.
To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot. Legislative steps have been introduced to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution. Therefore, governments are playing the most important role in the environmental protection today.
In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.
Of course ,not only government but also everyone should make a contribution to protect the environment.Have you ever thrown any litter onto the groundHave you ever drawn pictures on public wallsHave you ever cut down treesIf your answers are "No",it means that you have already helped protect our environment. Protecting our environment is everyone's business.
Thank you !

Good morning , everyone .When it comes to the teachers’ essential qualities ,I believe that most of answers will appear the word “patience”. Now, let me begin to give you my speech “patience”.
To begin with , “what is the patience ?” The definition of the word “patience” is to tolerate delay , which implies self control and forbearance as opposed to wanting what we want when we want it. How many times have we jumped the gun and found out it would have been better to tolerate delay or had self control? What did we miss out on? Did we hurt someone we love because of lack of patience? Having patience will heal the wounds and it will work itself out fine. Patience is not only a virtue but a necessy for a happy existence that we must be more patience in our daily lives. Secondly , there are so many benefits of developing patience .It not only helps us reduces stress levels ,but also helps develop understanding, empathy and compassion .Furthermore ,with enough patience ,we may take enough time to assess the situation, see the big picture, and weigh any pros and cons ,which contributes to our better decisions.
Someone may ask but how to become more patient .In my opinion ,many steps can we take .One way ,we may practice thinking before you speak ,if we’re patient, pause and go over what we want to say, we can avoid hurting or offending others .On the other way ,sometimes we may make a plan ahead and someway slow down our steps .Anyway ,what is the most important thing is that in anytime we must believe that there is an advantage behind every misfortune, that there is a silver lining.
As it for me ,a teacher in the nearly future ,I think I should be have faith that I can make all of them understand what I taught .If some of them wouldn't follow me ,I will be also patient to analyse knowledge to them in details.

East and West have met
runner-up: Rui Cheng gang, Foreign Affair College
Honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen:
Kipling said:" East is east, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet!" But now, a century later, they have met.
They have met in business. They have met in education. They have met in the arts.
Some would argue that these meetings leave us with a choice between East and West ,but I believe the best future lies in the creative combination of both worlds. We can make Western ideas, customs and technology our own, and adapt them to our own use. We can enjoy the best of all worlds, because our tradition is, above all, one of selecting the best and making it our own.
But, do Western styles and values threaten our identity?
History makes it easy for us to think so-perhaps too easy.
Some people seem to think that adopting Western customs, such as a bride wearing white-which has long been a color of mourning in China, instead of the traditional Chinese red for her wedding, is another submission to foreign intervention,--a betrayal of our heritage, they say.
They fear that as we become "globalized", we will no longer be Chinese.
I do not agree.
History teachers that a strong and confident nation is at ease in hearing from the outside world.
The wedding of Eastern and Western cultures, whether in white gowns or red, brings us variety.
It is a rich banquet of special foods from all over the world.
As an amateur gourmet of Chinese cuisine, our superb flavours delight me.
But my Chinese taste appreciates food from any land.
I even allow the convenience of McDonald's a place in my life without giving up my good taste.
My grandfather taught me to hum tunes of Beijing opera from the time I was very young; they are deep in my spirit, part of my soul.
I love Beijing opera, because it always reminds me of who I am.
But I am also a fan of modern pop music, the No.1 fan of Spice Girls on campus.
of course, it goes far beyond food, music and dance. It goes into values and ways of thinking about the world.
Once upon a time, or so my teacher told me, a Chinese boy and an American girl had a squabble.
Both wanted to keep a bunny rabbit they had found in the garden.
Surely you've seen a rabbit sunning himself in the grass.
Nothing is more lovable, nothing more natural. No wonder they wanted him. The Chinese boy played his er-hu. Happiness and joy, longing and passion, filled the air. The little rabbit swayed gently and began to move his ears in the direction of the music. He liked what he heard.
The girl then took out her violin and played it to produce beautiful melodies of her own.
The rabbit began to bounce in her direction.
So intent were the children on their own music that neither paid the other any attention.
The competing melodies confused the little rabbit and he did not know which way to turn .Unable to attract the little creature, both children gave up ;they walked away, in different directions, leaving the rabbit. . .alone.
But, what if they listened ,what if they really heard each other's music, instead of always playing their own tunes?
When I hear the music of a violin ,rich with the joys of men and women who came together and sang and danced.. . I hear echoes of the music of the grass lands, of the hills, of the rivers...of my own native land.
Is music mine and yours, or is it ours?
What I want to hear is the er-hu and the violin played together, in rhythm and in tune. Together, we can produce new and beautiful music, rich with textures and sounds that can only be made in harmony.
The rabbit sits in the grass in the ever-warming sun. Waiting for us to play, waiting for the symphony to begin.
Will he have to wait forever? The choice is ours . Thank you.
尊敬的評委、女士們、先生們:吉卜林說過,“東方是東方,西方是西方,兩者永不聚!”然而如今,在一個世紀(jì)之后,東西方相聚了。
它們在貿(mào)易中相聚,在教育中相聚,在藝術(shù)中相聚。
有人爭論說這種東西方之聚,使得我們能夠在東西方中作出選擇.然而我相信最美好的未來在于東西方世界的創(chuàng)造性的結(jié)合,我們可以變西方的觀念、習(xí)俗、技術(shù)為己所有,為己所用;我們可以享受兩上不同世界之精華,總之,我們的傳統(tǒng)之一就是擇其精華,為己所用。
然而,西方的生活方式和價值會威脅到我們的民族特色嗎?
歷史讓我們輕易相信——也許是太輕易地讓我們相信此說了。
有人似乎認(rèn)為彩西方習(xí)俗,比如新娘結(jié)婚穿白色婚紗,是對外國介入的屈服,是對傳統(tǒng)遺產(chǎn)的背叛,因為按中國傳統(tǒng),結(jié)婚新娘要穿紅色,而白色長期以來代表的是哀悼。
這些人擔(dān)心一量我們變得全球化,我們也就不在是中國人了。
我不這樣認(rèn)為。
歷史告訴我們:一個強(qiáng)大自信的民族學(xué)起外面的世界易如反掌 。
無論是穿白衣還是黑衣,還是東西方異質(zhì)文化的聯(lián)姻,都給我們帶來多姿多采的生活。
東西方異質(zhì)文化的聯(lián)姻是一席來自世界各地佳肴的盛宴。
身為中國菜的業(yè)余美食家,我喜歡民族的佳肴。
然而我的中國口味也欣賞異國的風(fēng)味。
生活中我為簡便吃麥當(dāng)勞,卻不會放棄自己的良好口味。
從小祖父就教我哼唱京劇,京劇深入我的精神之中,成為我靈魂的一部分。
我熱愛京劇,因為京劇讓我總想起自己是誰。
但是我也迷戀現(xiàn)代流行音樂,在學(xué)校里還是“辣味女孩”的頭號歌迷。
當(dāng)然,異質(zhì)文化的交流遠(yuǎn)不止于食物、音樂和舞蹈,它深入到價值觀和世界觀。 有一次老師給我講了一個中國男孩和一個美國女孩發(fā)生爭執(zhí)的故事。
在花園里他們倆發(fā)現(xiàn)了一只小兔,兩人都想要。
你肯定見過草叢中曬太陽的小兔。
沒什么東西比小兔子更可愛的,更富有自然情趣了,難怪他們兩人都想要它。
男孩拉起了二胡,愉快喜悅的琴聲,充滿了渴望和激情,回蕩在空中,小兔子聽著這音樂輕輕搖擺,耳朵轉(zhuǎn)向音樂,它喜愛男孩的琴聲。
女孩也取出小提琴,拉出悠揚的旋律。
小兔子聽了朝她跑去。
兩人都全神貫注于自己的音樂,絲毫沒注意對方演奏的音樂。
交雜在一塊的音樂困惑了小兔子,它不知該朝哪走。男孩和女孩都不能將小兔子吸引過來,只好放棄,各自走開了,扔下小兔子獨自一人。
然而倘若他們傾聽對方的音樂,而不是各自為歌,那么結(jié)果會如何呢?
當(dāng)我聽到小提琴聲響起,男男女女走道一起又唱又跳,樂聲中充滿了歡樂, 此時我也聽見了草原上、山谷間、小河旁傳來得我們本民族的音樂的回聲。
音樂分你我,還是屬于我們大家?
我想聽的是二胡與小提琴的合奏,旋律與節(jié)奏和諧一致。
大家一起才能創(chuàng)造出新穎動聽音樂, 只有在和諧中大家才能創(chuàng)造出富有神韻的樂聲。
在溫暖的陽光中,小兔子在等待著我們一起演奏,等待著交響樂開始。
他有必要再永遠(yuǎn)的等下去嗎?決擇在于我們自己。謝謝。

改變
列夫·托爾斯泰曾說過:每個人都想改變這個世界,但是沒有人想到改變自己。 他說的很有道理,我們每個人都心懷偉大時志向,時刻準(zhǔn)備去干一番能造福全人類的大事業(yè)。比如,我們痛恨環(huán)境污染,所以我們下定決心去開發(fā)新的更高效更干凈的能源來保護(hù)我們的環(huán)境,但是同時我們卻隨手亂扔垃圾;我們抱怨大城市的交通堵塞,計劃造更多的高速路來解決交通問題,但是我們從來沒有想過,如果我們能遵守交通規(guī)則話,那么這一問題是不是可以得到很大得緩解呢?我們擔(dān)心電視電影里面得暴力會對我們得孩子產(chǎn)生不良的影響,于是我們敦促政府通過立法來保護(hù)未成年人,但是我們這些大人又做得怎么樣呢?我們?yōu)槲覀兊南乱淮龊昧吮砺蕟?我們說粗話,甚至在孩子面前抽煙。不客氣地說,我們對孩子的`不良影響更多!
在我看來,在我們打算改變這個世界之前,我們最好先改變一下自己。作為一個普通人,我們其實沒有改變這個世界的能力,但是我可以改變我們隨地扔垃圾,隨地吐痰的壞習(xí)慣, 我們應(yīng)該學(xué)會去保護(hù)環(huán)境,我們應(yīng)該為我們的孩子起好的表率作用。
如果我們每個人都能從小事起,那么千千萬萬個人力量匯聚在一起,那力量是強(qiáng)大的,足以改變這個世界。
朋友,當(dāng)您在做某一件事情的時候,請您想一想,您的行為會對您周圍的人產(chǎn)生怎樣的影響, 因為,您的行為不單單影響到您自己,還有您周圍的人,更重要的是我們的孩子…甚至我們的世界。
英語演講稿初一 篇15
Christmas Day-December 25-which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the founder of the Christian religion, is the biggest and best-loved holiday in the Christian World.
According to the Bible, the holy book of Christians, God decided to allow his only son, Jesus Christ, to be born to a human mother and live on earth so that people could understand God better and learn to love God and each other more. "Christmas"- meaning "celebration of Christ "- honors the time when Jesus was born to a young Jewish woman Mary.
Mary was engaged to be married to Joseph, a carpenter, but before they came together, she was found to be with child. Because Joseph, her husband, was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."
Although the exact date of the birth of Jesus nearly 2,000 years ago is not known, the calendar on the supposed date divides all time into B.C. (Before Christ )and A.D. ( a Latin phrase, Anno Domini, "in the year of our Lord.") For the first 300 years, Jesus' birthday was celebrated on different dates. Finally, in the year 354, church leaders chose December 25 as his birthday.
