英語演講稿3分鐘簡單 篇1
chinese restaurants have played an important role in american history, as a matter of fact. the cuban missile crisis was resolved in a chinese restaurant called yenching palace in washington, d.c., which unfortunately is closed now, and about to be turned into walgreen's. and the house that john wilkes booth planned the assassination of abraham lincoln is actually also now a chinese restaurant called wok 'n roll, on h street in washington.
and if you think about it, a lot of the foods that you think of or we think of or americans think of as chinese food are barely recognizable to chinese, for example: beef with broccoli, egg rolls, general tso's chicken, fortune cookies, chop suey, the take-out boxes.
so, the interesting question is, how do you go from fortune cookies being something that is japanese to being something that is chinese? well, the short answer is, we locked up all the japanese during world war ii, including those that made fortune cookies, so that's the time when the chinese moved in, kind of saw a market opportunity and took over.

Nothing is difficult if you put your heart on it. Nothing is easy if you don’t try your best.
We often hear people say, “Never give up.” This can be encouraging words and words of determination. A person who believes in them will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.
One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel discouraged and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow as people. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted. Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives.
Probably the greatest example of persistence is Abraham Lincoln. Born into poverty, Lincoln was faced with defeat throughout his life. He lost eight elections, twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown.
He could have quit many times - but he didn't and because he didn't quit, he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of our country.
Lincoln was a champion and he never gave up.
In short, it is important that we don’t give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better, more confident people. Furthermore, if we give up, we have no chance of attaining our goals, but if we keep trying, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.Thank you very much!
如果你把你的心臟上沒有什么是困難的。沒有什么是容易的，如果你不嘗試你最好的。
我們經(jīng)常聽到人們說：“永遠(yuǎn)不要放棄。”這可以鼓勵(lì)決心的詞與詞。一個(gè)人誰相信他們將繼續(xù)努力，不管經(jīng)歷多少次失敗，達(dá)到到他的目標(biāo)。在我看來，有決心的質(zhì)量成功是有一個(gè)重要的之一。因此，我認(rèn)為我們應(yīng)該永不放棄。
原因之一是，如果我們太輕易放棄，就幾乎無法完成任何事。這是很平常的我們?cè)谖覀兊囊恍┬碌牡谝淮螄L試失敗了，所以我們不應(yīng)感到氣餒，應(yīng)該再試一次。此外，如果我們總是放棄當(dāng)我們失敗，我們將無法發(fā)展新的技能和成長的人。另外一個(gè)原因，我們不應(yīng)該放棄的是，我們可以從我們的錯(cuò)誤中吸取教訓(xùn)，只有我們作出新的努力。如果我們不再試一次，我們吸取的教訓(xùn)是浪費(fèi)。最后，我們應(yīng)該永不放棄，因?yàn)楫?dāng)我們努力達(dá)到我們的目標(biāo)，我們就會(huì)培養(yǎng)出自信，而這種自信將有助于我們?cè)谏畹钠渌I(lǐng)域中獲得成功。
大概持續(xù)性的最大的例子就是林肯。出生在貧困家庭，林肯面臨著他一生的失敗。他輸八大選，兩次經(jīng)商失敗，并遭受了神經(jīng)衰弱。
他可以放棄很多次 - 但他并沒有因?yàn)樗麤]有放棄，他成為我國歷史上最偉大的總統(tǒng)之一。
林肯是一個(gè)冠軍，他從來沒有放棄過。
總之，這是我們努力追求目標(biāo)時(shí)，不放棄是很重要的。無論我們最終還是沒有成功，我們都會(huì)學(xué)到一些東西，而我們學(xué)什么會(huì)幫助我們變得更好，更有自信的人。此外，如果我們放棄，我們沒有機(jī)會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)我們的目標(biāo)，但如果我們繼續(xù)努力，總有一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)，我們會(huì)有成功的.非常感謝!

Imagine a car without a steering wheel. Tough to imagine, right? Well, actually that’s the image you see if a person has no faith. Faith helps to guide us in our lives, encourage us to persist, and give directions when we are lost.
In this peaceful era, our life paths seem to be already well-planned and determined. What we have to do is to follow. Yes, we may face different sorts of challenges, but at least they are less harsh when compared to those in the past. We do not need to worry about starving to death, or how to earn enough money to buy food for our siblings and sustain our lives.
It is like driving from a muddy road into a highway. In the muddy road, path, you would say, as it is formed only by crossing on it many times, flattening the ground to form a smoother area so we can pass. The road is so bumpy and rough, with holes here and there and rocks lying all over. When we drive along this road, we have to be very careful, having a firm grip on the steering wheel, ready for a sudden turn or a large boulder that may appear any second. However, when we drive on a highway, everything becomes different. The road is smooth, straight, and visible. Since there is no unseen obstacle, we may lower our guard, relax a bit, and loosen our grip on the steering wheel. One may even think, if we only have to drive on a smooth straight road like this highway, why would we need a steering wheel?
Nevertheless, one cannot foresee the future. Accidents do happen. For example, a car may suddenly appear in front of you. At such times, if you did not have the steering wheel, how could you make a sudden turn? Just as no one could foresee the Sichuan Earthquake nor the Japan Tsunami. If the one being trapped under the debris did not have faith, he/she would not have survived until being rescued. If we did not have faith, we could not recover from our sadness and rebuild our home.
Faith is unique, just as happiness is. We feel happy for different reasons, we believe for different things. How can we know what we believe in? Recall the last time you are discouraged, and you felt you had lost all hopes in your life. What pulled you back into the world? What pushed you to stand up and continue to strive again? That is your faith, your belief. Faith is what makes you feel you can when others say you can’t.
Faith is important…, faith is vital…, faith is necessary for us to live our lives. If we do not have faith, we are like a car without a steeling wheel. We can only afford to move along a straight and smooth path, and cannot meet any challenge in our lives. One must understand that no matter how smooth the road is, it is impossible for a car to go without a steering wheel. Or, put it in another way, have you ever seen a car without a steering wheel on the road? So, act now, my friends, find out what you believe in, find out your anchor in your life, hold on to your steeling wheel of your car, drive on, and reach your destination. Thank you very much.

Good morning, dear teacher and classmates:
As everyone knows, English is very important today. It has been used everywhere in the world.
But for myself, I learn English not only because of its importance, but also because of my love for it. When I learn English, I can feel a different way of thinking which gives me more room to touch the world. When I speak English, I can feel the confidence from my words.
I love English. It gives me a colorful dream. I hope I can travel around the world some day. With my good English, I can make many foreign friends.
I also want to use my good English to introduce our great places to the English spoken people. I hope that they can love our country like us. ? I am sure that I will realize my dream one day! Thank you!
早上好，親愛的老師，同學(xué)們：
正如每個(gè)人所知，英語在今天十分重要。它已經(jīng)被應(yīng)用到世界的各個(gè)角落。
但是對(duì)我而言，我學(xué)英語不僅僅因?yàn)樗闹匾裕且驗(yàn)槲蚁矏塾⒄Z。當(dāng)我學(xué)英語時(shí)，我可以體會(huì)到一種不同的思維方式，它可以給我更多接觸世界的空間。當(dāng)我說英語時(shí)，我可以感到自信。
我愛英語，它給了我一個(gè)色彩斑斕的夢(mèng)。我希望有朝一日我可以暢游世界，用我流利的英語，我可以和世界各地的人交友。我能看到許多的名勝。
我也希望用我流利的英語來將我們的名勝介紹給說英語的`朋友，我希望他們可以像我們一樣的愛我們的國家。
我相信總有一天我會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)我的夢(mèng)！
英語演講稿3分鐘簡單 篇5
You couldn‘t imagine one woman， deaf， dumb and blind， would live happily. For most of us， we would go to death rather than living if we couldn‘t listen， couldn‘t speak and couldn‘t look.
We are not brave enough to face such life. But Helen Keller did. As the most famous handicapped， though deaf， dumb and blind， she tried her best to let herself happy. She learnt to touch the world and learn writing with her fingers， then she could write her sentiments with imaginations and pens. I believe she must have one strong heart to face all the misfortunes.
Maybe misfortunes are given by God， but the life is made by ourselves. The heart decides the life. We are much luckier than Helen Keller. And no one wants you to be Helen Keller.
What I want to say in this Speech is living happily and smile to face all difficulties in your life. I believe it’s much easier than what Hellen Keller did.

"If you don't want to wake up and find you have no pants to wear, you'd better put themon in sleep," goes a popular joke among students. Obviously, campus thefts have becomeincreasingly annoying as they occur far more often than before. And it seems that the thievesare less choosy these days, with their targets ranging widely from bikes, cell phones, purses,pre-paid IC cards to sunglasses, bags, and even underwear. In short, anything that worth adime is likely to be stolen.
What makes students the easy targets? The reasons are not hard to find. But I believe ofall these reasons, the lack of anti-theft alertness is the most important. For lack of alertness,the students tend to leave the doors and windows wide open during sleep at noon or at nightin summer. For the same reason, they'll also leave their bikes unlocked before a store or by aroad, or forget to take away their personal stuff before they go out of the classroom to make aphone call. These acts undoubtedly have increased their exposure to the light-fingeredmonsters.
In order to minimize possible losses, the students must stay on guard in the first place, asawareness of the thefts around often makes a big difference. To be more specific, thestudents should not hide any tempting amount of cash in the dorm. Put it in the bank instead.Besides, do not leave any valuable items unattended. Take them wherever you go. Inaddition, it's advisable to develop a neighbourhood watch programme with other students inthe dorm and neighbouring dorms.

When I was in grade two, my mother thought that I should study English formally, so she let me study in the class of teacher Ye of Young Palace of Beijing. In her class I began to learn the New Concept English and touched the grammar for the first time. Teacher Ye let us practice the oral English, listening and writing. Although I should remember much more words than before and had to practice listening and writing every day, and must take the crowded bus to school for two hours every week, I was very happy because I could learn much knowledge that not taught in school.
With my mother and teacher’s encouragement and teaching, I studied very hard and won many prize in the competition. When I was in grade four, I passed PETS 1 with the score of 88 of writing, and 5 of oral English, and I passed PETS 2 in grade five. I was very happy and excited because I had the experience of talking with foreigners, and even used English to help some people when they met the communication problem. I was also very proud when the foreign
Up till now, I have been studied English for about 6 years. I deeply realize the importance of learning English. I will continue to study in the future, and I really appreciate my mother and my English teacher，too. This year Beijing will host the 20xx Olympic games, I believe that master English well will certain help me to do some useful work for this Olympics.

Almost everyone knows the famous Chinese saying：A young idler，an old beggar. Throughout history，we have seen many cases in which this saying has again and again proved to be true.
It goes without saying that the youth is the best time of life，during which one's mental and physical states are at their peaks. It takes relatively less time and pains to learn or accept new things in a world full of changes and rapid developments. In addition，one is less likely to be under great pressure from career，family and health problems when young. Therefore，a fresh mind plus enormous energy will ensure success in different aspects of life.
Of course，we all know：no pains，no gains. If we don't make every effort to make good use of the advantages youth brings us，it is impossible to achieve any goals. As students，we should now try our best to learn all the subjects well so that we can be well prepared for the challenges that we will face in the future.

Good morning/afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My topic is: faith does make a difference to our life.
The recent earthquake in Japan has triggered a series of unexpected crises and even faith crisis among us. Are the increasing natural disasters echoing the 20xx prediction by Maya? Is our future really so vulnerable and tentative? I am trying to probe the answer.
Last November, as a volunteer of the Global Sustainable Leaders Forum, I first came across the concept of social entrepreneurship. In the inspiring speeches, I saw the determination and faith of converting ideal into practice. I couldn’t help asking myself: what should I live for?
The great thinker Russell once put in his essay: Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.
By launching donation campaigns and bearing social responsibility, Bill Gates reshaped the stereotyped faith of businessmen.
Then, how can I make a difference? A talk with my father gave me some inspiration.
My father is a superfan of traditional Chinese calligraphy. When I was a kid, I had the faintest idea why I should practise routinely this form of art. It was terribly boring. But Dad said seriously: As a Chinese, we need to pass down and promote our rich culture. It is our responsibility.
Yang Lan, a well-known TV host once said: As a media worker, I want to track down the passage of time and history by conducting interviews. For me, the responsibility outweighs the occupation itself.
Far back to Confucius, who was once obscure and humble, undertook the seemingly hopeless task of building a harmonious society. But with his strong faith, hemade a change by spreading the seeds of wisdom.
The story about three craftsmen further illustrates the power of faith. When asked about their work, one said: I'm piling up the bricks. Another replied: I'm building the wall. The third responded: I'm designing a home for people. These three replies mirrored distinct insights toward work: Task, job, and undertaking.
In my university, students majoring in National Defence choose to devote their golden years to safeguarding our mother land. They have interpreted faith with their own dynamic youth.
My friends, musicians can not simply provide us with lyrical notes, but create melody to sooth our soul; Scientists can not merely invent machines, but utilize their wisdom to reshape our lifestyle; teachers can not just impart knowledge, but usher us to become a worthy person!
So, my dear friends, life without faith is just like music without melody, and world without color. We are who we choose to be. It is faith that’ll remove our fear about future and stretch the radius of our life. Let faith light up all our young dreams.
Thank you!

我是6班，我的名字是某某，我很榮幸在這里講話，我很高興能和你分享我的話題，做我們自己的事。
隨著社會(huì)的發(fā)展，越來越多的人迷失了自我，他們不知道自己想做什么，他們不知道自己在做什么，這是多么可怕!
對(duì)于我們，我們不能選擇出生，我們不能選擇我們的父母，我們不能選擇我們的出生國，我們不能選擇我們的死亡時(shí)間，但我們可以選擇如何面對(duì)我們的生活：幸福或不快樂，積極或消極。什么是重要的，我們應(yīng)該做什么，我們不應(yīng)該做什么，我們可以自己決定。不管我們?nèi)绾芜x擇和決定，所有這些都是由我們做的，所以不要太在意別人怎么看你，只做自己，自己做。

Dear teachers and students：
hello everyone!
Today, I am very honored to stand under the solemn national flag and speak for you. As the young generation in the new century, we are the hope of our motherland.
The future of our motherland will surely belong to us. As students, the first thing we should do is to love our school. How can a student who doesn't even love his own school love his own country? Loving school is a very specific and close action. The school provides us with a good learning environment. Teachers work hard to cultivate us. This is the cradle of our growth. As students, we have no reason not to love our school.
Every student should protect the image and honor of the school like loving his own eyes; We should sincerely respect our teachers. We should consciously protect every plant of the school, beautify the natural environment, create an elegant cultural environment, and make the school a real garden and paradise; We should also love each other like our brothers and sisters. Let's love and learn from each other and grow up happily together!
We should cherish our time, study hard, work hard, win the excellent results of each school section, and contribute our part to the motherland in the future, so as to repay the school that raised us and our beloved teachers!
Thank you!

Friendship
友誼
Every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. My friends will listen to me when I want to speak, will wipe my eyes when I cry, will take care of me when I am sick, and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.
我們每個(gè)人,不論富裕還是貧窮,至少應(yīng)該有一個(gè)或兩個(gè)好朋友。我的朋友會(huì)聽我說,如果我想說話,要擦去我的眼睛當(dāng)我哭泣,會(huì)照顧我在我生病時(shí),我的朋友將與我一起肩并肩在這人生旅程。
Friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives. It is actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the sweeter it will be. It is also like a cup of tea. When we are thirsty, it will be our best choice, but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves, it is also the most fragrant drink.
友誼是一種財(cái)寶在我們的生活。它實(shí)際上是像一瓶酒,越久保留,這將是更香甜。它就像一杯茶。當(dāng)我們口渴時(shí),這將是對(duì)我們最好的選擇,但當(dāng)我們有足夠的時(shí)間去玩得很開心的,它也是最芬芳的飲料。
All of us have to spare some time for personal lives. We have to find the chance to express our emotion and love. When staying with our friends, we can release ourselves completely. We can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry to-gether. I should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives.
我們所有的人都要花點(diǎn)時(shí)間來個(gè)人的生活。我們必須找到機(jī)會(huì)來表達(dá)我們的感情和愛。當(dāng)住在我們的朋友,我們可以放松自己完全。我們可以做任何我們想要的,我們能一起大聲笑,一起交談,甚至哭泣下。我應(yīng)該說,是我們最好的朋友一起是最精彩的時(shí)刻,我們的生活。
As we know, we would feel lonely if we didn't even have a friend. But it doesn't mean we could depend on our friends all the time. There is a famous motto saying that “A friend is like a quilt with cotton wadding, but the real thing that keeps you warm is your own temperature.” It is really true. We have to work hard together with our friends, encourage each other and help each other. When we receive love and friendship, we should repay as much as we can.
正如我們所知道的,我們會(huì)感到寂寞,如果我們還沒有一個(gè)朋友。但這并不意味著我們可以依靠我們的朋友。有個(gè)著名的格言說:“一個(gè)朋友就像一個(gè)棉花棉絲被子,但真正的東西,是使你暖和是你自己的溫度。“這是真的。我們必須努力同我們的朋友,互相激勵(lì),互相幫助。當(dāng)我們能收到更多的愛與友誼,我們應(yīng)該償還高達(dá)就可以了。
Finally, let's pray together now that one day, all of us could find the person we want to find, and could enjoy a real beautiful friendship in our lives. Let's pray the flower of friendship be-tween our friends and us would always bloom brightly in our hearts
最后,讓我們一起祈禱了,有一天,我們都能找到我們想找的人,就可以享受一段美好友誼的真正左右我們的生活了。讓我們一起祈禱友誼之花卻成為我們的朋友,我們將永遠(yuǎn)綻放鮮艷的在我們的心中

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(shí)，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(shí)，一個(gè)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(diǎn)點(diǎn)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(gè)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(duì)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(cuò)了。"你能不能把車子停在那兩個(gè)臺(tái)階前?"男孩要求道。
男孩跑上了階梯，過了一會(huì)兒保羅聽到他回來了，但動(dòng)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(gè)臺(tái)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(duì)你說的那輛新車。這是保羅他哥哥送給 他的哦!將來我也會(huì)送給你一輛像這樣的車，到那時(shí)候你就能自己去看那些在圣誕節(jié)時(shí)，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(gè)圣誕夜，保羅才真正體會(huì)主耶穌所說的"施比受更有福"的道理。

We students are the builders and masters of the country. It is important for us to know how to be a good student .As far as I think, there are many important traits, the traits like this:
Nowadays，Some students may have wrong ideas of what a good student is. they think a good student should study all the subjects well and listen to the teachers all the time, but actually these ones don't care about anything except study.
Firstly, we must have clear world values. We must knows what we should do and what we shouldn't do.
Secondly, a good students should learn as much as possible. So a good student always tries to learn from both text-books and other books. Besides reading, doing some sports and manual works. however, we can’t always study alone, sometimes you need a discussion, don’t forget to work hard with your friends, it will be great help to you.
Thirdly, a strong character and will-power are also need. Because we have troubles every day. How to face the difficulties in study and our lives is very important. A good student won't be afraid of difficulties, we'll always try our best, we will never give up.
In short, let us try our best to become a good student!
我們學(xué)生是這個(gè)國家的建設(shè)者和大師。對(duì)我們來說是很重要的知道如何成為一個(gè)好學(xué)生。我認(rèn)為,有許多重要的特征,特征是這樣的:
如今,一些學(xué)生可能有錯(cuò)誤的想法什么是一個(gè)好學(xué)生。他們認(rèn)為一個(gè)好學(xué)生應(yīng)該學(xué)好所有的科目,聽老師的,但實(shí)際上這些人不關(guān)心除了學(xué)習(xí)。

Stepping into the new century environment pollution has become more serious than ever since. There are different kinds of pollution. Such as water pollution air pollution and noise pollution and so on. It seems that we live on a planet which is full of pollution. where all these pollution comes from? To a large extend the environmental destruction is the heavy price that we pay for the rapid development of economy and the growing population. In order to have more fuel people cut down trees and dig more corals. But the growing needs for energy are hardly to meet. Countless private cars on the street the gas stations are short of gasoline even the government has raise the price so many times in order to control the needs of gasoline but it’s still not working. Overusing the natural resources has already affected the ecological balance. However the factories still release the toxic air into the sky and the polluted water into the rivers. People still lack of the conscious of protecting the environment. I think it’s time for all of us to do something.

we are the world ,we are the future someone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. i don?t know who wrote these words, but i?ve always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be. we are all in the position of the farmers. if we plant a good seed ,we reap a good harvest. if we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all. we are young. “how to spend the youth?” it is a meaningful
question. to answer it, first i have to ask“what do you understand by the word youth?” youth is not a time of life, it?s a state of mind. it?s not a matter ofrosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees. it?s the matter of the will. it?s the freshness of the deep spring oflife. youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in 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 ofbeauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young . a poet said “to see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour.several days ago, i had a chance to listen to a lecture. i learnt a lot there. i?d like to share it with all of you. let?s show our right palms. we can see three lines that show how our love.career and life is. i have a short line of life. what about yours? i wondered whether we could see our future in this way. well, let?s make a fist. where is our future? where is our love, career, and life? tell me.yeah, it is in our hands. it is held in ourselves. we all want the future to be better than the past. but the future can go better itself. don?t cry because it is over, smile because it happened. from the past, we?ve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher. we?ve learnt that we can?t choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it. failure doesn?t mean you don?t have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way. failure doesn?t mean you should give up, it does mean you must try harder. as what i said at the beginning, “we are reading the first verse of the first can go better itself. don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened. from the past, we’ve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher. we’ve learnt that we can’t choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it. failure doesn’t mean you don’t have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way. failure doesn’t mean you should give up, it does mean you must try harder.
as what i said at the beginning, “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. the past has gone. nothing we do will change it. but the future is in front of us. believe that what we give to the world, the world will give to us. and from today on, let’s be the owners of ourselves, and speak out “we are the world, we are the future.”

Good evening ,Ladies and Gentlemen:
Thank you very much for choosing to come in such a cold night.Today my topic is about choice and process.A research shows that a man has to make 73 choices one day.With so many choices one day, people easily get so confused and afraid of making wrong choice that they hesitate and finally miss the true part of life. In my opinion, the following part is of much more importance than the choice. There is no absolute right or wrong choice but wonderful or boring life, which the process makes the difference. Life is a box of chocolate,you never know what you will get. Forrest Gump made no decision by and for himself but he accomplished great success with his strong will in the process. The process is not the road itself but the attitudes and feelings ,the caution, courage and persistance we have as we encounter new experience and unexpected obstacles. Take myself as an example, I changed my major when I became a postgraduate. After the choice,days have been harsh for me.I cannot understand the new lessons at all. For they are closely related to mathmatics which I learned nothing about before. However wuth the belief that this is the great chance for me to experience new ideas and challenge myself,I persisted. I asked for help from every channel and reorgonized my life. Gradually I could understand some parts and even found maths interesting.Moreover, I learned to act instead of complaining. In retrospect,the choice left no trace in my mind but the happiness and bitterness of the past four months becomes an unforgetable experience in my life.
NO matter what the choice is, enjoy the process. In the process, your potential will be inspired and new discoveries,improvement and progress will come to you. These are the most beautiful sceneries and only on the way can you see it.These make your life colorful.
There is no need and I donnot want to judge whether it right or wrong for me to be here,but I congratulate to myself for I gain a and enjoy this fantastic experience. So my dear friends,never worry about your choice and enjoy the process. I am sure you will get something new and intersting tonight after you chose to come here. Thank you!
翻譯：晚上好,女士們,先生們: 非常感謝您選擇在這樣一個(gè)寒冷的夜晚。今天我的話題是關(guān)于選擇和過程。一個(gè)研究表明,一個(gè)人必須選擇73一天。有這么多選擇一天,人容易困惑和害怕犯錯(cuò)誤的選擇,他們猶豫,最后錯(cuò)過了真正的生活的一部分。在我看來,下面的部分是比選擇更重要。沒有絕對(duì)正確或錯(cuò)誤的選擇但精彩或枯燥的生活,這一過程的區(qū)別。 生活是一盒巧克力,你永遠(yuǎn)不知道你會(huì)得到什么。阿甘為自己做出任何決定,但他用堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的意志完成了巨大的成功。
過程不是道路本身,而是態(tài)度和感受,謹(jǐn)慎,勇氣和持久性我們當(dāng)我們遇到新的經(jīng)歷和意想不到的障礙。以我自己為例,我改變了我的專業(yè)當(dāng)我成為一個(gè)研究生。在選擇之后,天已經(jīng)嚴(yán)厲的對(duì)我來說。我無法理解新課程。因?yàn)樗麄兪敲芮邢嚓P(guān)的數(shù)學(xué),我學(xué)到了什么。然而wuth相信,這對(duì)我來說是偉大的機(jī)會(huì)去體驗(yàn)新的想法和挑戰(zhàn)我自己,我依然存在。我要求幫助從每個(gè)通道和reorgonized我的生活。逐漸我可以理解一些地區(qū)甚至發(fā)現(xiàn)數(shù)學(xué)有趣。此外,我學(xué)會(huì)了行動(dòng),而不是抱怨。
回想起來,選擇沒有留下任何痕跡在我的腦海里,但幸福和痛苦過去的四個(gè)月成為一個(gè)難忘的經(jīng)歷在我的生命中。 無論選擇什么,享受這個(gè)過程。在這個(gè)過程中,將激發(fā)你的潛力和新發(fā)現(xiàn),改進(jìn)和進(jìn)步必到你們這里來。這些都是最美麗的風(fēng)景在路上,只有你能看到它。這些讓你的生活豐富多彩。 沒有必要,我不想來判斷是否對(duì)還是錯(cuò)我在這里,但是我對(duì)自己祝賀我獲得和享受這美妙的體驗(yàn)。所以親愛的朋友,永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)擔(dān)心你的選擇和享受這個(gè)過程。我相信你會(huì)得到一些新的和有趣今晚在你選擇來這里。謝謝你們!

Good evening,everyone! The theme of my speech today is "I love the motherland".
Some people say, "China's existence itself is destined to be a miracle. There is no need to doubt it." Indeed, in this short years, disasters have brought us grief, but they have not depressed our will, but more united us and united us. With strength, faith and love, we have stepped on all disasters. This courageous force comes from a young country, a nation with 5000 years of splendid civilization, and even more from the 1.3 billion hardworking and brave Chinese people.
Time can't wash away the history of lead China. He has witnessed the ups and downs in the past years and is unforgettable in the past years. History has long become the past, but we need to look back and understand. The poverty and backwardness of the past and the "sick man of East Asia" in the past no longer belong to us. Now we have used the Oriental arrow to fly GDP and make it rise at the fastest speed on the horizon. In the United Nations, in the OECD, in the Boao Forum and at the financial summit, the world has never been so silent as today to listen to our voice.
Walking proudly in 20xx and looking forward to the future, the Chinese nation will be prosperous and strong, and the Chinese people will be happy and healthy. In the future, China will show its colorful figure in front of the world, stand tall in the world with brilliant achievements, and leave our own story in the long river of history.
Summarize the experience of years, aftertaste the wind and rain of years, praise the glory of years, and remember the history of years. We are happy to feel that we are a Chinese and the descendants of a dragon. Aftertaste the years of the Republic. We feel too much, move too much, and have too much to thank. Standing at the crossroads of history, looking back and looking forward, I wish my motherland better and stronger with a 17-year-old heart!
thank you!

Our path in life will not always be smooth. Setbacks can't be avoided. Failing an important exam, break up with boy or girl friend, or refused by a promising company, such setbacks are likely to get us down. Sometimes we fell so frustrated that we even burst into tears.
Drinkin coke is wonderful, despite the undesirble consequent hiccups. It's bitter, sour and peppery, but also sweet. And you'll even feel excited after gulping down a glass. A college experience is part of growing up. We cry, smile, fall in love, get hurt, leave, learn and then we become a better person.
University life is like drinking coke. I'm experiencing it. And I know, I enjoy it!

Never Put off until Tomorrow What You Can DoToday
We have been told that never put off until tomorrowwhat you can do today since childhood. However,there are still many people who like putting off thethings that should do today until tomorrow.Theyhave no plans for their work and their time. As aresult, they will not accomplish their goals in theend. For example, one Sunday I felt so tired after having a football match that I did not finishmy homework even at night. I thought I could get up earlier to go to school the next morningso that I could finish my homework before class. But the next morning I was not able to get toschool in time because of the traffic jam. I was punished by the teacher. It taught me a lesson.From then on I made a determination that I would never put off anything important until thenext day. Please remember: Work today, for you don’t know how much you may be hinderedtomorrow. Seize the present day，cherish every minute you have now and trust the tomorrowas little as possible.

My dream
hello everyone!
Students, guests , teachers and Honorable Judges
Good morning !
my great pleasure to share my dream with you today. my dream is to become a teacher....
As the whole world has its boundaries, limits and freedom coexist in our life. I don’t expect complete freedom, which is impossible. I simply have a dream that supports my life.
I dream that one day, I could escape from the deep sea of thick schoolbooks and lead my own life. With my favorite fictions, I lie freely on the green grass, smelling the spring, listening to the wind singing, breathing the fresh and cool air and dissolve my soul in nature at last. Simple and short enjoyment can bring me great satisfaction.
I dream that one day the adults could throw their prejudice of comic and cartoon away. They could keep a lovely heart that can share sorrow and happiness with us while watching cartoon or doing personal things. That’s the real communication of heart to heart.
I have the belief that my dreams should come true. I am looking forward to some day coming when I am like a proud eagle, which flies to the blue and vast sky.
Thank you!

What qualities do you think a friend should have to continue the friendship? Use specific reasons to support your idea.
In my heart, I think the most important quality to continue the friendship is sincerity. A true friendship must be built on sincerity. However, to continue a friendship is not a easy thing. Both of each other have to pay a lot. The word sincerity contains too much. Firstly, we need to be frank and honest to each other. Only if when we did so can the other side treat us like the same and thus build belief between friends. A friendship full of lies and deceit shouldn't be called friendship. Secondly, we need to be considerable and do not be self-centered. We should think more for our friends and encourage them on certain occasion. A self-centered friend can be very troublesome and annoying. No one would tolerate him for a long time. Finally, I think we should learn to compromise sometimes. We can't live in harmony forever with our friends. When there expose a disagreement, we should compromise to each other. Only by this way can a friendship last long.
參考翻譯：
你認(rèn)為一個(gè)朋友應(yīng)該有什么品質(zhì)繼續(xù)友誼?使用具體原因來支持你的想法。
在我心中,我認(rèn)為最重要的品質(zhì)繼續(xù)友誼是真誠。真正的友誼必須建立在真誠之上。然而,繼續(xù)友誼不是一件容易的事情。彼此都需要支付很多。誠信這個(gè)詞包含了太多。首先,我們需要彼此坦率而誠實(shí)的。只有當(dāng)我們這樣做可以另一邊同樣對(duì)待我們像,從而建立朋友間的信念。友誼充滿了謊言和欺騙不應(yīng)該叫做友誼。其次,我們需要相當(dāng)大的,不要以自我為中心。我們應(yīng)該更多的為我們的朋友,鼓勵(lì)他們?cè)谀承﹫龊�。一個(gè)以自我為中心的朋友會(huì)很麻煩的,煩人。沒有人會(huì)容忍他很長一段時(shí)間。最后,我認(rèn)為我們應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)妥協(xié)。我們不能永遠(yuǎn)活在和諧與我們的朋友。暴露有分歧的時(shí)候,我們應(yīng)該相互妥協(xié)。只有這樣,友誼才能長久。

Dear leaders, teachers and students：
hello everyone!
There is a fable that a man caught a young eagle in an eagle's nest on the top of a high mountain. He took the young eagle home and kept it in a chicken cage. The young eagle pecks, plays and rests with the chicken every day. He thinks he is also a chicken. When the chicken grows up, its wings are plump. The master wanted to train it into a falcon, but because it was mixed with chickens all day, it had become a chicken and had no desire to fly at all. The master tried all kinds of methods, but they didn't work. Finally, he took it to the top of the mountain and threw it out. The eagle fell like a stone. In a hurry, he flapped his wings desperately. In this way, he finally flew up!
This fable tells us that if we don't know how to fight, struggle and explore the potential deep in our hearts, we can never fly, but just a chicken in a cage. I think this may be the true meaning of autonomous learning!
Here, we would like to thank the teacher for providing me with a shortcut to the end of learning, and let us rekindle the courage to climb the peak of learning. He is like a spring slowly surging in our hearts, he is like a flower of success thriving in the soil of knowledge, and he is like a mountain eagle flying in the broad blue sky again in the fable! Finally, I wish our self-management and cooperative learning will blossom better and better!
Thank you!

now none of this is to say that social skills are unimportant, and i'm also not calling for the abolishing of teamwork at all. the same religions who send their sages off to lonely mountain tops also teach us love and trust. and the problems that we are facing today in fields like science and in economics are so vast and so complex that we are going to need armies of people coming together to solve them working together. but i am saying that the more freedom that we give introverts to be themselves, the more likely that they are to come up with their own unique solutions to these problems.
so now i'd like to share with you what's in my suitcase today. guess what? books. i have a suitcase full of books. here's margaret atwood, “cat's eye.“ here's a novel by milan kundera. and here's “the guide for the perplexed“ by maimonides. but these are not exactly my books. i brought these books with me because they were written by my grandfather's favorite authors.
my grandfather was a rabbi and he was a widower who lived alone in a small apartment in brooklyn that was my favorite place in the world when i was growing up, partly because it was filled with his very gentle, very courtly presence and partly because it was filled with books. i mean literally every table, every chair in this apartment had yielded its original function to now serve as a surface for swaying stacks of books. just like the rest of my family, my grandfather's favorite thing to do in the whole world was to read.
but he also loved his congregation, and you could feel this love in the sermons that he gave every week for the 62 years that he was a rabbi. he would takes the fruits of each week's reading and he would weave these intricate tapestries of ancient and humanist thought. and people would come from all over to hear him speak.
