英語課前五分鐘小故事演講 篇1
good morning/afternoon/evening to mr.____(your teacher's name) and my friends.
i would like to introduce you a short novel named “the old man and the sea”.
it is written by ernest hemingway in cuba in 1951 and published in 1952.
the story of an aging, life-long fisherman who attempts to find himself, and hopefully a fish, on a fishing trip in the gulf waters off cuba.
after spending most of his life alone and losing his only companion who is a young cuban boy, the old man heads out to sea once again.
his 84 days without a notable catch end on this trip, but will he be able to defeat the odds after catching a gigantic marlin?
this short novel is universal in its consideration of the plight of an old man struggling against age, loneliness, mortality, humility and poverty to maintain his identity and dignity. apart from that, the cheerful and optimistic old man wants to reestablish his reputation in the community. besides, he also wants to ensure for all time his relationship with those he loves and to whom he hopes to paon everything he values the most. finally, he survives and wins the battle. this has shown his heroic struggle not only redeems himself but also inspires and spiritually enriches those around him.
thanks for your attention.
a common concept among some people is that opportunities are few. they always complain that opportunities never occur to them. they only admire those people who make a hit or succeed by seizing some opportunities, and always wonder why they are never given a good opportunity to show their talent.
another common notion is that there are opportunities everywhere. opportunity may occur to anybody at any time and under any circumstances as long as he/she keeps ma-ki-ng constant efforts. as a student, you can get to the top through your hard work. as a businessman, you can succeed through accurate calculation and with a complete certainty that you can make a profit.
in my opinion, opportunity favors only those who keep trying and who are ready for it. as the saying goes "god helps those who help themselves", so no matter whether there's opportunity or not, what we should do is to study, to learn and become learned people, only in this way can you seize your opportunity when it occurs. so never say there's no opportunity again, opportunities are around us.
英語課前五分鐘小故事演講 篇2
Over the past Spring Festival, I got involved in a family dispute. Right before I got home, four satellite channels of CCTV were added to the 14 channels we had already had. In prime time at night, they all had interesting shows. Therefore, the five of us-my parents, my sisters and I-had to argue over what to watch. Finally, we agreed that we should watch the "most interesting" programme... If we could agree what that was.
However, all of us there remember that for a long time after we had TV, there were only one or two channels available. The increase in options reveals an important change in our life: the abundance of choice.
Fifteen years ago we all dressed in one style and in one colour. Today, we select from a wide variety of designs and shades.
Fifteen years ago, we read few newspapers. Today, we read English newspapers like the China Daily and the 21st Century, as well as various Chinese newspapers.
Fifteen years ago, English majors took only courses in language and literature. Today, we also study Western culture, journalism, business communications, international relations, and computer science.
The emergence of choices marks the beginning of a new era in China's history; an era of diversity, of material and cultural richness, and an era of the rebirth of the Chinese nation.
We enjoy the abundance of choice. But this has not come easily.
About 150 years ago, China was forced to open up its door by Western canons and gunboats. It has been through the struggle and sacrifice of generations that we finally have gained the opportunity to choose for ourselves. The policy of reform and openness is the choice that has made all the difference.
Like others of my age, I'm too young to have experienced the time when the Chinese people had no right to choose. However, as the next century draws near, it is time to ask: What does choice really mean to us young people?
Is choice a game that relies on chance or luck? Is choice an empty promise that never materializes? Or is choice a puzzle so difficult that we have to avoid it?
First, I would like to say: To choose means to claim opportunities.
I am a third-year English major. An important choice for me, of course, is what to do upon graduation. I can go to graduate school, at home or abroad. I can go to work as a teacher, a translator, a journalist, an editor and a diplomat. Actually, the system of mutual selection has allowed me to approach almost every career opportunity in China.
Indeed, this is not going to be an easy choice. I would love to work in such big cities as Beijing or Shanghai or Shenzhen. I would also love to return to my hometown, which is intimate, though slightly lagging in development. I would love to stay in the coastal area where life is exciting and fast-paced. I would also love to put down roots in central and western China, which is underdeveloped, but holds great potential.

晚上在宿舍,大家正準(zhǔn)備睡覺。
大劉說:“反正現(xiàn)在睡也早,不如大家來猜謎吧,我發(fā)現(xiàn)有些成語可以做成腦筋急轉(zhuǎn)彎來猜,還很搞笑。”
小張和小周忙說好,只有小王邊打哈欠邊說:“早點(diǎn)睡吧,明天還要上課呢。”
大劉看了小王一眼說:“這么早睡干嘛,大家娛樂一下嗎,我先說一個(gè),猜布怕什么紙怕什么?”
小張小王小周想來想去沒想出來,大劉撇撇嘴說:“不怕一萬只怕萬一嘛,這么簡(jiǎn)單還猜不出來。”
小張聽完邊笑邊說:“這么說我也想到一個(gè),哪個(gè)數(shù)字最懶哪個(gè)最勤快。”
大劉聽完說:“這么簡(jiǎn)單一不做二不休嗎。”
小周豎起大拇指說:“厲害,我也有一個(gè)不知道猜不猜的出來,小白長的很像他哥哥。”
大劉想了一會(huì)說:“這個(gè)有難度,不過我猜出來了,真相大白是吧。”
小周小張說:“大劉就是厲害,小王你也說一個(gè)。”
小王哈欠連連說:“別說了,睡吧。”
大劉:“不行,一定要說,而且還要有難度。”
小王:“那行,我還真想到一個(gè),不過猜完一定要熄燈睡覺。”
大劉說:“趕緊說,說完我就關(guān)燈。”
小王:“三個(gè)太監(jiān)在聊天。”
大劉想了想說:“我猜出來了是無稽之談。”
小王:“不錯(cuò)這也正好體現(xiàn)了我們這次談話的內(nèi)容。”
大劉一愣尷尬的關(guān)上了燈。
