Hello, everybody! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat. How is everybody doing today? (Applause.) How about Tim Spicer? (Applause.) I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we’ve got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade. And I am just so glad that all could join us today. And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host. Give yourselves a big round of applause. (Applause.)I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now -- (applause) -- with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could’ve stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived overseas. I lived in Indonesia for a few years. And my mother, she didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday. But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.Now, as you might imagine, I wasn’t too happy about getting up that early. And a lot of times, I’d fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever I’d complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she’d say, “This is no picnic for me either, buster.” (Laughter.)So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But I’m here today because I have something important to discuss with you. I’m here because I want to talk with you about your education and what’s expected of all of you in this new school year.But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world -- and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed. That’s what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself. Every single one of you has something that you’re good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That’s the opportunity an education can provide.

2023經(jīng)典英語(yǔ)演講稿 篇3
Hello, my name is Hao Hao. I am a small member of class 3 in grade six. Today, my topic is my ideal.
Edison, a British scientist, will not be surprised. He is a world-famous invention King. He invented more than one thousand kinds of life. My ideal is to become a great inventor like Edison.
Remember in the third grade textbook, we see Edison to invent almost blind eyes, his train was deaf in one ear, also burned a dress by sulfuric acid. However, his determination to pursue science has not wavered. It is this stubborn spirit, persistent efforts and attitude towards learning that made Edison a great inventor.
I think, if I really want to be an inventor like Edison, I want to carry forward his spirit of not afraid of difficulties and perseverance. For this reason, I want to do four words: diligence, perseverance, courage and thinking. "Diligence" is diligence. All the people who have a good job are the result of hard work. "Constant" is perseverance, there is perseverance can be expected to achieve. "Bravery" is the determination to overcome difficulties when learning difficulties. "Thinking" is equally important. Learning is always combined with thinking. Todays "thinking" is also dared to fantasize. Only by opening the wings of fantasy can invention become reality.
A plow, a harvest, in order to achieve the ideal, I will pay hard!

18年的生命中，有著許多美好的經(jīng)歷，初入大學(xué)校園，又是另一種生活，同時(shí)，作為當(dāng)代大學(xué)生，你的身上肩負(fù)著成為我們民族的脊梁，為社會(huì)做出巨大的貢獻(xiàn)的重任。今天和小編一起來(lái)看看這篇演講稿吧。

在我這18年的生命中，有著許多美好的經(jīng)歷，而大學(xué)生活則是其中最難忘的一段。我永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)忘記剛剛跨進(jìn)大學(xué)校園的那幾天：花園一樣的校園，熱情活躍的學(xué)生，特別是那里的學(xué)習(xí)氣氛，給我留下了深刻的印象。

經(jīng)過(guò)了一段艱辛的軍事訓(xùn)練后，我完全融入到了學(xué)習(xí)中。老師的講課真是棒極了。他們傳授給我們的不僅是課本上的知識(shí)，還包括其他各種各樣的信息。我渴望獲得盡可能多的知識(shí)，是老師激發(fā)起了我這個(gè)不能滿足的欲望。
Franklyspeaking,atfirstIhadsomedifficultyfollowingtheteachers.However,throughmyowneffortsandthankstomyteachers'guidance,Imaderemarkableprogress.NowI'vebenefitedalotfromlecturesandmanyotheracademicreports.
坦率地說(shuō)，一開(kāi)始我還不能跟上老師的講課。但是，通過(guò)我自己的努力以及老師的指導(dǎo)，我取得了巨大的進(jìn)步。我從老師的授課和其他許多學(xué)術(shù)報(bào)告中獲益匪淺。

學(xué)習(xí)是個(gè)循序漸進(jìn)、長(zhǎng)期的過(guò)程，我會(huì)在知識(shí)的寶庫(kù)中不斷探索，豐富自我。今年暑假，我跨出象牙塔，進(jìn)入并接觸到了真正的社會(huì)。一個(gè)出版社給了我編輯和校對(duì)的兼職工作。

工作初期，同事們都礁不起我。但是，當(dāng)我在一天之內(nèi)翻譯完7篇（總字?jǐn)?shù)超過(guò)5000字）的英語(yǔ)文章后，他們真的是大吃一驚。漸漸地，他們開(kāi)始用尊敬的眼光看待我。他們認(rèn)為，我變成了一個(gè)有用并值得信賴的好同事。

我也同樣意識(shí)到，只有那些為別人帶來(lái)幸福的人才能真正的幸福。因而，我經(jīng)常參加有關(guān)公眾福利享業(yè)的活動(dòng)。有一次，我和同學(xué)去了一個(gè)貧痔的山區(qū)村莊。在那里，我們教那些沒(méi)錢(qián)上學(xué)的孩子。我向他們展示了一幅寬廣、文明的外部世界的畫(huà)面，但同時(shí)我也被那些孩子學(xué)習(xí)的渴望、他們的真誠(chéng)和純潔深深打動(dòng)了。在我們離開(kāi)的那一天，我那不爭(zhēng)氣的眼淚禁不住流了下來(lái)。這次珍貴的經(jīng)歷讓我們這些未來(lái)的教師意識(shí)到了自己肩上的責(zé)任重大。

除了學(xué)習(xí)和社會(huì)實(shí)踐，我還經(jīng)常參加娛樂(lè)活動(dòng)。我每天都鍛煉身體，希望保持健康和充滿活力。我們還在業(yè)余時(shí)間寫(xiě)劇本并排練演出。

2023經(jīng)典英語(yǔ)演講稿 篇5
我最近讀了一本書(shū)，名叫《寶葫蘆的秘密》，這本書(shū)的主人公名叫王葆，和我一樣，他也是一名小學(xué)生，他天真爛漫，喜歡幻想，愛(ài)出風(fēng)頭，又知錯(cuò)能改，正直。他想擁有一個(gè)寶葫蘆，幫他做各種各樣的事情，沒(méi)想到有一天夢(mèng)想成真了——在他釣魚(yú)的時(shí)候，一次偶然的機(jī)會(huì)，使他得到了寶葫蘆。
這個(gè)寶葫蘆能幫王葆完成任何事情，例如：變好吃的，幫他完成手工，幫他變出滿屋子的'花草，甚至是在考試的時(shí)候幫他調(diào)換試卷……雖然寶葫蘆給了他一種“特殊的幸福”，但是麻煩卻接二連三地找上門(mén)來(lái)，使得他在親人、朋友面前出丑、尷尬，最后他知道那些東西都是別人的，這使他非常氣憤，想扔掉寶葫蘆，可是卻怎么也擺脫不了寶葫蘆。最后還好王葆只是做了一場(chǎng)夢(mèng)，在這場(chǎng)夢(mèng)之后，他受到了極大的教育。
通過(guò)讀這本書(shū)，我覺(jué)得無(wú)論做什么事情，也一定不要抱有不勞而獲的心思，如果有不勞而獲的心思，終將會(huì)讓人變得懶惰、遲鈍。以后在我們做事情的時(shí)候，一定要積極動(dòng)腦、動(dòng)手，勤學(xué)好問(wèn)，做一個(gè)聰明而勤奮的人。
2023經(jīng)典英語(yǔ)演講稿 篇6
Not long after an old Chinese woman came back to China from her visit to her daughter in the States, she went to a city bank to deposit the US dollars her daughter gave her. At the bank counter, the clerk checked each note carefully to see if the money was real. It made the old lady out of patience.
At last she could not hold any more, uttering. "Trust me, Sir, and trust the money. They are real US dollars. They are directly from America."

Youth
Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. This often existsin a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . Nobody grows old merely by a number of years . We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul .Worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .
Whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living . In the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
When the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.
Thank you!
青春
青春不是指歲月，而是指心態(tài)。粉嫩的臉，紅潤(rùn)的唇，矯健的膝并不是青春。青春表現(xiàn)在意志的堅(jiān)強(qiáng)與懦弱。想象的豐富與蒼白、情感的充沛與貧乏等方面。青春是生命深處清泉的噴涌。青春是追求。只有當(dāng)勇氣蓋過(guò)怯弱、進(jìn)取壓倒茍安之時(shí)，青春才存在。果如此，則60見(jiàn)之長(zhǎng)者比20歲之少年更具青春活力。僅僅歲月的流逝并不能使他們衰老。而一旦拋棄理想和信念，則垂垂老也。
歲月只能使皮膚起皺。而一旦喪失生活的激情，則連靈魂枯老，使人生枯如死水，毫無(wú)活力。
60歲長(zhǎng)者也好，16歲少年也罷，每個(gè)人的內(nèi)心深處都渴望奇跡，都如孩子一般眨著期待的雙眼，期待著下一次，期待著生活的情趣，你我靈魂深處都有一座無(wú)線電中轉(zhuǎn)站------只有你我年輕，則總能聽(tīng)到希望的呼喚，總能發(fā)出喜悅的歡呼，總能傳達(dá)勇氣的訊號(hào)，總能表現(xiàn)出青春的活力………
一旦青春的天線倒下，你的靈魂即為玩世不恭之雪、悲觀厭世之冰覆蓋;即使你年方20.其實(shí)你已垂垂老也。而只要你青春的天線高高聳起，就可以隨時(shí)接收到樂(lè)觀的電波-----即使你年過(guò)八旬，行將就木，而你卻仍然擁有青春，你仍然年輕。
謝謝!

My friends, comrades, and fellow South Africans: I greet you all in the name of peace, democracy, and freedom for all. I stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the people. Your tireless and heroic sacrifices have made it possible for me to be here today. I therefore have placed the remaining years of my life in your , I extend my sincere and warmest gratitude to the millions of my compatriots and those in every corner of the globe who have campaigned tirelessly for my release. I extend special greetings to the people of Cape Town the city through which — which has been my home for three decades.
I salute the rank?and?file members of the ANC: You have sacrificed life and limb in the pursuit of the noble cause of our , like Solomon Mahlangu and Ashley Kriel, who have paid the ultimate price for the freedom of all South Africans. I salute the South African Communist Party for its sterling contribution to the struggle for democracy. You have survived 40 years of unrelenting persecution.
The memory of great communists like Moses Kotane, Yusuf Dadoo, Bram Fischer, and Moses Mabhida will be cherished for generations to come. I salute General Secretary Joe Slovo, one of our finest patriots. We are heartened by the fact that the alliance between ourselves and the Party remains as strong as it — it always , the National Education Crisis Committee, the South African Youth Congress, the Transvaal and Natal Indian Congresses, and COSATU and the many other formations of the Mass Democratic Movement. I also salute the Black Sash and the National Union of South African Students.
We note with pride that you have looked — that you have acted as the conscience of white South Africa. Even during the darkest days in the history of our struggle you held the flag of liberty high. The large?scale mass mobilization of the past few years is one of the key factors which led to the opening of the final chapter of our — Your organized strength is the pride of our movement. You remain the most dependable force in the struggle to end exploitation and oppression.
I greet the traditional leaders of our country — many among you continue to walk in the footsteps of great heroes like Hintsa and , you, the young lions. You, the young lions, have energized our entire struggle. I pay tribute to the mothers and wives and sisters of our nation. Without your support our struggle would not have reached this advanced stage. The sacrifice of the frontline states will be remembered by South Africans , black and white, recognize that apartheid has no future. It has to be ended by our own decisive mass action in order to build peace and security.
The mass campaigns of defiance and other actions of our organizations and people can onlyculminate in the establishment of continent is in calculable. The fabric of family life of millions of my people has been shattered. Millions are homeless and unemployed. Our economy — Our economy lies in ruins and our people are embroiled in political strife. Our resort to the armed struggle in 1960 with the formation of the military wing of the ANC, Umkhonto we Sizwe, was a purely defensive action against the violence of apartheid. The factors which necessitated the armed struggle still exist today. We have no option but to continue. We express the hope that a climate conducive to a negotiated settlement will be created soon so that there may no longer be the need for the armed , strategies, and , I feel duty?bound to make the point that a leader of the movement is a person who has been democratically elected at a national conference.
This is a principle which must be upheld without any , I wish to report to you that my talks with the government have been aimed at normalizing the political situation in the country. We have not as yet begun discussing the basic demands of the struggle. I wish to stress that I myself have at no time entered into negotiations about the future of our country except to insist on a meeting between the ANC and the has gone further than any other Nationalist President in taking real steps to normalize the situation. However, there are further steps, as outlined in the Harare Declaration, that have to be met before negotiations on the basic demands of our people can begin.
Negotiations cannot take place — Negotiations cannot take place above the heads or behind the backs of our people. It is our belief that the future of our country can only be determined by a body which is democratically elected on a non?racial basis. Negotiations on the dismantling of apartheid will have to address the overwhelming demands of our people for a democratic, non?racial and unitary South Africa. And this reality is that we are still suffering under the policies of the Nationalist , so that the process towards democracy is rapid and uninterrupted. We have waited too long for our freedom. We can no longer wait.
Now is the time to intensify the struggle on all fronts. To relax our efforts now would be a mistake which generations to come will not be able to role in a united democratic and non?racial South Africa is the only way to peace and racial harmony. In conclusion, I wish to quote my own words during my trial in 1964. They are as true today as they were then. I spoke: I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and — and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.

President pitzer Mr. Vice President, Governor, Congressman Thomas, Senator Wiley, and Congressman Miller, Mr. Webb, Mr. Bell, scientists, distinguished guests, and ladies and gentlemen:
I appreciate your president having made me an honorary visiting professor, and I will assure you that my first lecture will be very brief.
I am delighted to be here and I'm particularly delighted to be here on this occasion.
We meet at a college noted for knowledge, in a city noted for progress, in a state noted for strength, and we stand in need of all three, for we meet in an hour of change and challenge, in a decade of hope and fear, in an age of both knowledge and ignorance. The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.
Despite the striking fact that most of the scientists that the world has ever known are alive and working today, despite the fact that this Nation's own scientific manpower is doubling every 12 years in a rate of growth more than three times that of our population as a whole, despite that, the vast stretches of the unknown and the unanswered and the unfinished still far outstrip our collective comprehension.
No man can fully grasp how far and how fast we have come, but condense, if you will, the 50,000 years of man's recorded history in a time span of but a half-century. Stated in these terms, we know very little about the first 40 years, except at the end of them advanced man had learned to use the skins of animals to cover them. Then about 10 years ago, under this standard, man emerged from his caves to construct other kinds of shelter. Only five years ago man learned to write and use a cart with wheels. Christianity began less than two years ago. The printing press came this year, and then less than two months ago, during this whole 50-year span of human history, the steam engine provided a new source of power. Newton explored the meaning of gravity. Last month electric lights and telephones and automobiles and airplanes became available. Only last week did we develop penicillin and television and nuclear power, and now if America's new spacecraft succeeds in reaching Venus, we will have literally reached the stars before midnight tonight.
This is a breathtaking pace, and such a pace cannot help but create new ills as it dispels old, new ignorance, new problems, new dangers. Surely the opening vistas of space promise high costs and hardships, as well as high reward.
So it is not surprising that some would have us stay where we are a little longer to rest, to wait. But this city of Houston, this state of Texas, this country of the United States was not built by those who waited and rested and wished to look behind them. This country was conquered by those who moved forward--and so will space.
William Bradford, speaking in 1630 of the founding of the Plymouth Bay Colony, said that all great and honorable actions are accompanied with great difficulties, and both must be enterprised and overcome with answerable courage.
If this capsule history of our progress teaches us anything, it is that man, in his quest for knowledge and progress, is determined and cannot be deterred. The exploration of space will go ahead, whether we join in it or not, and it is one of the great adventures of all time, and no nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in this race for space.
Those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the industrial revolution, the first waves of modern invention, and the first wave of nuclear power, and this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space. We mean to be a part of it--we mean to lead it. For the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond, and we have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace. We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons of mass destruction, but with instruments of knowledge and understanding.
Yet the vows of this Nation can only be fulfilled if we in this Nation are first, and, therefore, we intend to be first. In short, our leadership in science and industry, our hopes for peace and security, our obligations to ourselves as well as others, all require us to make this effort, to solve these mysteries, to solve them for the good of all men, and to become the world's leading space-faring nation.
We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people. For space science, like nuclear science and all technology, has no conscience of its own. Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the United States occupies a position of pre-eminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war. I do not say that we should or will go unprotected against the hostile misuse of space any more than we go unprotected against the hostile use of land or sea, but I do say that space can be explored and mastered without feeding the fires of war, without repeating the mistakes that man has made in extending his writ around this globe of ours.
There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet. Its hazards are hostile to us all. Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation many never come again. But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?
We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.
It is for these reasons that I regard the decision last year to shift our efforts in space from low to high gear as among the most important decisions that will be made during my incumbency in the office of the Presidency.
In the last 24 hours we have seen facilities now being created for the greatest and most complex exploration in man's history. We have felt the ground shake and the air shattered by the testing of a Saturn C-1 booster rocket, many times as powerful as the Atlas which launched John Glenn, generating power equivalent to 10,000 automobiles with their accelerators on the floor. We have seen the site where five F-1 rocket engines, each one as powerful as all eight engines of the Saturn combined, will be clustered together to make the advanced Saturn missile, assembled in a new building to be built at Cape Canaveral as tall as a 48 story structure, as wide as a city block, and as long as two lengths of this field.
Within these last 19 months at least 45 satellites have circled the earth. Some 40 of them were made in the United States of America and they were far more sophisticated and supplied far more knowledge to the people of the world than those of the Soviet Union.
The Mariner spacecraft now on its way to Venus is the most intricate instrument in the history of space science. The accuracy of that shot is comparable to firing a missile from Cape Canaveral and dropping it in this stadium between the 40-yard lines.
Transit satellites are helping our ships at sea to steer a safer course. Tiros satellites have given us unprecedented warnings of hurricanes and storms, and will do the same for forest fires and icebergs.
We have had our failures, but so have others, even if they do not admit them. And they may be less public.
To be sure, we are behind, and will be behind for some time in manned flight. But we do not intend to stay behind, and in this decade, we shall make up and move ahead.
The growth of our science and education will be enriched by new knowledge of our universe and environment, by new techniques of learning and mapping and observation, by new tools and computers for industry, medicine, the home as well as the school. Technical institutions, such as Rice, will reap the harvest of these gains.
And finally, the space effort itself, while still in its infancy, has already created a great number of new companies, and tens of thousands of new jobs. Space and related industries are generating new demands in investment and skilled personnel, and this city and this state, and this region, will share greatly in this growth. What was once the furthest outpost on the old frontier of the West will be the furthest outpost on the new frontier of science and space. Houston, your city of Houston, with its Manned Spacecraft Center, will become the heart of a large scientific and engineering community. During the next 5 years the National Aeronautics and Space Administration expects to double the number of scientists and engineers in this area, to increase its outlays for salaries and expenses to $60 million a year; to invest some $200 million in plant and laboratory facilities; and to direct or contract for new space efforts over $1 billion from this center in this city.
To be sure, all this costs us all a good deal of money. This year's space budget is three times what it was in January 1961, and it is greater than the space budget of the previous eight years combined. That budget now stands at $5,400 million a year--a staggering sum, though somewhat less than we pay for cigarettes and cigars every year. Space expenditures will soon rise some more, from 40 cents per person per week to more than 50 cents a week for every man, woman and child in the United States, for we have given this program a high national priority--even though I realize that this is in some measure an act of faith and vision, for we do not now know what benefits await us. But if I were to say, my fellow citizens, that we shall send to the moon, 240,000 miles away from the control station in Houston, a giant rocket more than 300 feet tall, the length of this football field, made of new metal alloys, some of which have not yet been invented, capable of standing heat and stresses several times more than have ever been experienced, fitted together with a precision better than the finest watch, carrying all the equipment needed for propulsion, guidance, control, communications, food and survival, on an untried mission, to an unknown celestial body, and then return it safely to earth, re-entering the atmosphere at speeds of over 25,000 miles per hour, causing heat about half that of the temperature of the sun--almost as hot as it is here today--and do all this, and do it right, and do it first before this decade is out--then we must be bold.
I'm the one who is doing all the work, so we just want you to stay cool for a minute.
However, I think we're going to do it, and I think that we must pay what needs to be paid. I don't think we ought to waste any money, but I think we ought to do the job. And this will be done in the decade of the Sixties. It may be done while some of you are still here at school at this college and university. It will be done during the terms of office of some of the people who sit here on this platform. But it will be done. And it will be done before the end of this decade.
And I am delighted that this university is playing a part in putting a man on the moon as part of a great national effort of the United States of America.
Many years ago the great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb it. He said, "Because it is there."
Well, space is there, and we're going to climb it, and the moon and the planets are there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are there. And, therefore, as we set sail we ask God's blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked.
Thank you.

We've all been taught that we should help people. It is the right thing to do and will make us popular with others. It may even win us favors in return. However, we must be realistic. We can't say yes to every request. If we did, we would fail or go crazy for sure. Sometimes we simply don't have the time to help. In this case, we must know how to say no politely.
When we need to say no, here is one method we can try. First, we should tell the truth. If we really can't do something, we should just say so. Second, we should remember to refuse requests politely. We must communicate clearly, but must also be sincere and sympathetic. A true friend will understand. Finally, we must not feel guilty about saying no. Sometimes refusing others is the right thing to do. It can save ourselves, and them, a lot of trouble. In short, we cannot please everyone all the time. Refusing favors is a part of life.
Youth
Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. This often existsin a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . Nobody grows old merely by a number of years . We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul .Worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .
Whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living . In the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
When the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.
Thank you!

What life is about
As we all know, the most important thing in life is our attitude towards it, tons of men have tried different ways of treating life, and some succeeded, some failed, and here are some of the tips they left us.
Life isn’t about keeping score. Life isn’t about your shoes or your hair or the color of your skin. In fact it’s not about if you have lots of friends or if you are alone, and it’s not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isn’t about that.
But life is about whom you love and who you hurt. It’s about how you feel about yourself. It’s about trust, happiness and compassion. It’s about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance and building confidence. It’s about what you say and what you mean. It’s about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. And we should always remember to be ourselves. Other might have things that we desire but being what we really are is the only trail leading to the true colors of life. Most of all, it’s about choosing to use your life to touch someone else’s in a way that could have never been achieved otherwise.
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers; we buy more but enjoy them less. We’ve learnt how to make a living but not a life, we’ve added years to life, but not life to years. And it is time for us to choose whether to make a difference in our life.
And these choices are what life is about.
生活的真諦
眾所周知，關(guān)于生活最重要的我們對(duì)待生活的態(tài)度，不同的人以不同的方式對(duì)待生活，一些人成功了，一些人失敗了。這里有一些關(guān)于生活的帖士給我們大家。
生活不是為了保持高分，生活也不僅僅是你的鞋子、你的發(fā)型和你的膚色。實(shí)際上，生活也不只是你擁有多少朋友，或者你是否孤獨(dú);生活也不僅僅意味著你被別人接受與否。生活并不僅僅是這些。
但是，生活是關(guān)于你所愛(ài)的和你所傷害的那些人。生活就是你對(duì)自己的所有感覺(jué)。它是關(guān)于信任、幸福和包容。它是你對(duì)朋友的支持和如何用愛(ài)來(lái)融化內(nèi)心的憎恨。生活就是遠(yuǎn)離嫉妒、克服無(wú)知和建立信心。生活是關(guān)于你的言行和思想。
生活就是關(guān)注人的自身，而不是關(guān)注別人的擁有。而且我們必須記住保持我們的本色。雖然，生活的另一面令我們向往，但保持我們的本色是通往生活真諦的必由之路�？傊�，生活就是用你整個(gè)的生命去觸摸其他人從未企及的選擇。 在生活的長(zhǎng)河中也常常令我們困惑和矛盾，我們擁有越來(lái)越高大的建筑，但我們也越來(lái)越缺乏耐心;我們購(gòu)買(mǎi)的物質(zhì)越來(lái)越多，但我們從中得到的快樂(lè)越來(lái)越少。我們學(xué)習(xí)如何活著但那卻不是生活;人類(lèi)的壽命越來(lái)越長(zhǎng)，但有意義的生活并因此而延長(zhǎng)。因此，現(xiàn)在正是我們選擇使我們的人生變得不同凡響的時(shí)候了。初中英語(yǔ)演講稿這些選擇就是生活的真諦。
2023經(jīng)典英語(yǔ)演講稿 篇14
Good afternoon ，ladies and gentlemen!
I’m very honored to stand here and give you a short speech! my topic is Opportunities and Challenges.
First, I would like to know, what does your destiny offer you? Happiness, wisdom, a strong body or something else. If I had asked this question to president Nixon, he would probably had said,”Our destiny offers not the cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity.”
Needless to say, one of the biggest opportunities given to China is the 20xx Olympic Games. Till now, we have used two sevenths of the preparation time. How much changes have you seen? New roads, new subway lines, public-exercising equipments with beautiful colors, large blocks of grass fields, and also lots of modern gyms which are under construction.
Other than those, there are even more good effects brought to us by the Olympic Games that cannot be seen directly. For example, more and more people will get to know China. I’m sure the mysterious Chinese culture will attract them strongly. And the games will also do good to the economy and environment, for it is gaining the attention of foreign investors and the awareness of environmental protection is being strengthened. What is more, Olympic Games give a unique opportunity to inspire and educate a new generation of Chinese youth with the Olympic values and the Olympic spirit. Now that we have seen so many advances, could you even imagine us losing the holding rights?
I’ve already said a lot about the Olympics and China. But I think everyone should use some time to think of this question, ”Does the Olympic Games have any special meaning to you?”
For us, I mean the Chinese youth, 20xx Olympic Games is a tremendous gift. Because what we are waiting for is to do something significant as repaying the love given to us .The society is just like a ship, and in our dreams the captain is waving his hand and saying ”Hey! Come here and take the helm! ”How charming his voice is, but we have never heard of it in our true life. This morning, however, when we wake up, we will see the Olympic Games waving its hand. After chewing, most of us will have at least one plan about what to do for the Olympic Games. And mine is to be a “comforter” ----that is someone who will give comfort to others.
At the end of my speech, I hope all the preparation will go well, and everyone will show their ability to the world. Let us seize opportunities and give a big smile to challenges.
女士們,先生們,下午好!
我很榮幸站在這里給你一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)短的講話!我的主題是機(jī)遇和挑戰(zhàn)。
首先,我想知道,你的命運(yùn)給你什么?幸福,智慧,一個(gè)強(qiáng)壯的身體或者其他東西。如果我有問(wèn)這個(gè)問(wèn)題尼克松總統(tǒng),他可能會(huì)說(shuō),“命運(yùn)給予我們的不是失望之酒,而是機(jī)會(huì)之杯。”
不用說(shuō),給中國(guó)一個(gè)最大的機(jī)會(huì)是20xx年奧運(yùn)會(huì)。直到現(xiàn)在,我們已經(jīng)使用2/7的準(zhǔn)備時(shí)間。你看過(guò)多少變化?新的道路,新的地鐵線路,public-exercising設(shè)備用美麗的色彩,大量的草地上,還有很多在建的現(xiàn)代健身房。
以外,有更加好的效果帶給我們的奧運(yùn)會(huì),不能直接看到。例如,越來(lái)越多的人了解中國(guó)。我相信神秘的中國(guó)文化會(huì)強(qiáng)烈吸引他們。和奧運(yùn)會(huì)也將做良好的經(jīng)濟(jì)和環(huán)境,因?yàn)檫@是獲得外國(guó)投資者的關(guān)注和保護(hù)環(huán)境的意識(shí)正在加強(qiáng)。更重要的是,奧運(yùn)會(huì)給一個(gè)獨(dú)特的機(jī)會(huì)來(lái)激勵(lì)和培養(yǎng)新一代的中國(guó)青年奧林匹克精神和奧林匹克精神�，F(xiàn)在我們已經(jīng)見(jiàn)過(guò)這么多的進(jìn)步,你能想象我們失去了持有的權(quán)利嗎?
我已經(jīng)說(shuō)了很多關(guān)于奧運(yùn)會(huì)和中國(guó)。但我認(rèn)為每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該用一些時(shí)間來(lái)思考這個(gè)問(wèn)題,“奧運(yùn)會(huì)有什么特殊的意義嗎?”
對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō),我的意思是中國(guó)青年,20xx年奧運(yùn)會(huì)是一個(gè)巨大的禮物。因?yàn)槲覀冋诘却鲋匾氖莾斶�給我們的愛(ài)。社會(huì)就像一艘船,我們的夢(mèng)想隊(duì)長(zhǎng)揮舞著他的手,說(shuō):“嘿!來(lái)這里掌舵!”他的聲音是多么迷人,但我們從未聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)在我們的真實(shí)生活。然而今天上午,當(dāng)我們醒來(lái)時(shí),我們將看到奧運(yùn)會(huì)揮舞著它的手。咀嚼后,我們大多數(shù)人至少都會(huì)有一個(gè)計(jì)劃為奧運(yùn)會(huì)做什么。和我的是一個(gè)“被子”——這是會(huì)安慰別人的人。
在我演講的最后,我希望所有的準(zhǔn)備工作將順利,每個(gè)人都將向世界展示他們的能力。讓我們抓住機(jī)遇,給挑戰(zhàn)一個(gè)大大的微笑。

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(shí)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?yàn)槲覀兲峁┮粋�(gè)適應(yīng)當(dāng)前工業(yè)需要的知識(shí)基礎(chǔ)。以我的專(zhuān)業(yè)通信工程為例，科學(xué)家們說(shuō)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(méi)有電子化的數(shù)據(jù)處理和轉(zhuǎn)換，生物醫(yī)學(xué)時(shí)代就不能發(fā)展。有趣的是：“生物醫(yī)學(xué)”這個(gè)詞本身就是兩個(gè)學(xué)科的結(jié)合，所以跨學(xué)科的開(kāi)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(shí)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(gè)事實(shí)：理工科學(xué)生們?cè)谡軐W(xué)講座上討論得熱火朝天，在演講俱樂(lè)部里激情地演說(shuō)，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?yàn)楫?dāng)我們跳出自己的圈子時(shí)，我們能看到更大的圖畫(huà)。
朋友們，我希望你們已經(jīng)意識(shí)到了大學(xué)教育究竟意味著什么。讓我以諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)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。

Good afternoon, everyone!
The topic of my speech today is “Being a Good Listener”.
Good listening can always show respect, promote understanding, and improve interpersonal relationship.
Many people suggest that parents should listen more to their children, so they will understand them better, and find it easy to narrow the generation gap; teachers should listen more to their students, then they can meet their needs better, and place themselves in a good relationship with their students; students should listen more to their classmates, thus they will help and learn from each other, and a friendship is likely to be formed.
What I want to stress is that each of us should listen more to others. Show your respect and never stop others till they finish their talk; show you are interested by a supportive silence or a knowing smile; be open-minded to different opinions even though you don’t like them. In a word, good listening can really enable us to get closer to each other.
Thank you for your listening!
大家下午好!
今天,我演講的題目是“做一個(gè)好的傾聽(tīng)者”。
好的傾聽(tīng)可以表示尊重,增進(jìn)理解,和改善人際關(guān)系。
許多人認(rèn)為父母應(yīng)該多聽(tīng)他們的孩子,所以他們會(huì)對(duì)它們有更好的理解,并且發(fā)現(xiàn)它容易縮小代溝,教師應(yīng)該多聽(tīng)他們的學(xué)生,然后他們可以滿足他們的需求,并將自己與他們的學(xué)生在一個(gè)良好的關(guān)系,學(xué)生應(yīng)該多聽(tīng)他們的同學(xué),因此他們會(huì)幫助和互相學(xué)習(xí),可能會(huì)形成和友誼。
我想強(qiáng)調(diào)的是我們每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該更多的傾聽(tīng)他人。展示你的尊重和從未停止其他人直到他們完成他們的談話,告訴你感興趣的一個(gè)支持性的沉默或一個(gè)會(huì)心的微笑,是開(kāi)放的不同意見(jiàn),即使你不喜歡他們�？傊�,良好的傾聽(tīng)可以使我們更接近彼此。
謝謝你的傾聽(tīng)!
