高中生英語演講稿范文3篇

　　a poet leads me to a branch road: on one side, there are lots of sweet apples, lovely and charming; on the other, there is a patch of thorn, what hides behind the success of struggling against the thorn is a splendid palace. i deeply know that if i choose the apples, i will give up aprecious opportunity of becoming a queen; while if i choose to challenge, i have to say farewell to the apples. which one should i choose?

　　can money buy happiness?

　　can money buy happiness? different people have different opinions. some think yes, while others hold the opposite.

　　it is true that with enough money one can buy all the things one wants, and live a life of comfort and security. however, it is equally true that lack of money causes great distress. it is a common view that "money is the root of all evil." the pursuit of money drives many people to cheat and steal. in some places there is nothing that cannot be bought with money, resulting in corrupt societies where everybody is miserable.

　　so, money does not necessarily mean happiness. it all depends on how it is used. if we make honest and sensible use of money, it can be a stepping-stone to happiness l although money cannot buy happiness, it can make happiness possible if it is employed sensibly.

　　金錢能買來幸福嗎?

　　金錢能買來幸福嗎?不同的人有不同的回答。有的人認(rèn)為能，有的人則持相反的意見。

　　誠然一個人如果有足夠的錢可以買到他想要的所有物品，過上舒適穩(wěn)定的生活。然而，同樣缺錢往往引起巨大的憂傷。人們常常認(rèn)為“金錢是萬惡之源”，對金錢的追求驅(qū)使許多人去騙去偷。在某些地方，沒有錢買不到的東西，導(dǎo)致社會的腐化墮落。

　　所以，金錢并不一定就意味著幸福。這取決于怎樣使用金錢，如果我們誠信明智地使用金錢，它將是幸福的基石。盡管金錢買不到幸福，但它可以使幸福成為可能。

　　smoking and health

　　today smoking is a widespread habit ali over the world. not only the old, the youth, but also middle school students have been engaged in smoking. many of them think that smoking is a smart symbol.

　　however, smoking is harmful to one’s ,health. it contributes a lot of lung cancer, from which many people have died in the past years. it can also cause many other diseases. in a word, if you smoke, you do have a much greater chance of losing your health. furthermore, scientific research shows that smoking is not only harmful to smokers themselves, but also a threat to public health, especially to women and children. therefore, many countries have made laws forbidding smokers to smoke m public places such as cinemas, stations, hospitals, and so on giveup smoking! if you don’t smoke, don’t start. give upsmoking for the sake of your health, for the sake of your family, and for the sake of the whole world.

　　吸煙與健康

　　現(xiàn)在，吸煙是一個世界范圍的習(xí)慣，不僅老年人、青年人吸煙，就連中學(xué)生也加入到這個行列中來，他們中的許多人認(rèn)為吸煙是一種瀟灑的象征。

　　然而，吸煙對人的健康是有害的，它會引起肺癌，在剛剛過去的幾年中;許多人因此而喪命，還可能引發(fā)其他的疾病�？傊�，如果你吸煙的話，你就很可能失去擁有健康的機(jī)會，更進(jìn)一步說，科學(xué)研究顯示，吸煙不僅危害吸煙者本人，而且對公共健康來說，也是一個兇兆，尤其是對婦女和孩子。因此，許多國家都制定了不準(zhǔn)在公共場合吸煙的法規(guī)，例如：電影院，車站，醫(yī)院等地。

　　戒煙吧，如果你還未染上，請不要開始;戒煙吧，為了你的健康，為了你的家庭的健康，為了整個世界的健康。

　　development and the environment

　　it is undeniable that the worsening environment has become the biggest concern of the present-day world. land resources are dwindling because of water loss and soil erosion. waste gases poison the air we breathe. the rivers and lakes are polluted by waste dumped in them from factories. it is probably no exaggeration to say that deterioration of the quality of the environment threatens the existence of mankind itself.

　　some people are of the opinion that the environmental problem is the price we have to pay for economic development. but i do not think that this argument is valid. after all, what is the point of economic growth if people’s lives are adversely alfected by worsening environmental pollution?

　　there is plenty of evidence to show that sustainable development can be achieved by balancing economic growth with protection of the environment. the key to achieving this is to make people aware of the seriousness of the problem. both governments and ordinary citizens should join hands to make this world a better place to live in, not only for ourselves, but also for future generations.

　　環(huán)境與發(fā)展

　　不可否認(rèn)的是環(huán)境惡化已成為當(dāng)今世界上人們最擔(dān)心的事了。因?yàn)樗�資源的浪費(fèi)和土壤被侵蝕，土地資源逐漸縮小。我們呼吸著有毒的空氣，河流和湖泊也被附近的工廠里排放出來的廢棄物嚴(yán)重污染了。不夸大其詞地說，環(huán)境質(zhì)量的惡化很可能威脅人類的生存。

　　有些人說環(huán)境問題是我們?yōu)榻?jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展所付出的代價。對此，我不敢茍同。如果人類的生活被日益惡化的環(huán)境污染所影響的話，那么，經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的意義何在?

　　足夠的證據(jù)表明：經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展與環(huán)境保護(hù)的平衡可以實(shí)現(xiàn)可持續(xù)發(fā)展。關(guān)鍵是使人們意識到問題的嚴(yán)重性。政府和普通市民兩方都應(yīng)該攜手使地球成為更適合人類居住的地方，這不僅是為我們自己，也是為我們的后代。
