英語(yǔ)比賽演講稿2022 篇1
My grandpa was among the first group of English teachers sent to Australia by the Chinese government in the 1980s, when our country first opened its door. Off the plane, a hospitable Australian taxi driver asked him, “Where are you going today?” “Where to die?” My grandpa was shocked. With very limited access to authentic English, he had no idea of the Australian pronunciation for the word “today”.
My mom was much luckier in the 1990s when she went to college. She had recorded tapes of BBC and VOA news to listen to. When she stepped on the soil of England, she was much more confident. The first day after arrival, hungry and tired after a long flight, and with a Chinese stomach longing for hot food and drink, her only wish was to have a big breakfast. The British waitress approached her asked with a British accent completely comprehensible to her well trained ear, “Madam, would you like a Continental breakfast or an English breakfast?” Well, the European continent is much bigger than England, so must be the breakfast. She responded: “Continental Breakfast, please.” The waitress took the order and Mom was very satisfied about herself until she discovered the tiny breakfast of cold milk and iced juice, instead of fried bacon and also fried sausages.
I went to an American university for a summer program last year. After watching a movie, I decided to take a bus back to my apartment. However the bus didn’t arrive as scheduled. After waiting for about 20 minutes in the darkness, I was very uneasy and also scared. I stood there, staring into the direction which the bus should come from. But there was no bus but a street singer singing some unknown songs with his noisy guitar. The wind brought a feeling of chill, and as more and more stores closed and fewer and fewer people passed by, I couldn’t help shivering in the cold darkness. Suddenly, a piece of familiar music flowed into my ear. It was the best-known Chinese folk song: the Jasmine Flower! He was playing the Jasmine Flower with his guitar. Automatically, I tuned my Chinese ears to the familiar and nostalgic melody, with my heart warmed and my eyes wet. He played that music again and again until the bus came and I went aboard .
From strangeness, misunderstanding to cross cultural resonance, it takes three generations. The driving force behind the change is globalization, which offers opportunities for cultures to meet, to break down barriers between countries, and to bring peoples together. When the Chinese folk song played by an American street singer got me through coldness and fear, I also came to realize that intimate connection brought about by globalization and also cross cultural resonance can also help the world get through difficulties and disputes.
Ladies and gentlemen, if you would ask me whether globalization is enough, I will definitely say “no”. Globalization is a powerful force available to us, enabling people to communicate, to help, and to warm, just like what the American street singer did to me at that cold and dark night.

“Globalization is a conspiracy.” my South African friend, Nuhu, once told me. I was in a shock while he explained, “It’s a game that we’re forced to play by the rules set by the superior westerners.” And by learning about the drive of the original globalization, the primitive accumulation of capital, I’m convinced that enough is enough. The unequal, violent exchange should have been enough since a long time ago.
However, what we do see today is that China has risen up by selling our products around the globe and learning advanced technology from others. And Africa is also believed to be the next China, another economic hub in the near future. So, although this might be an unfair game to play like what Nuhu claims, what he fails to see is that globalization is the very ladder for nations, especially those at the bottom of the global hierarchy to climb up. This win-win globalization is not enough. We can have more of it.
But what is the backlash? We have been fearing that the tide of globalization, the outpouring of western values will undermine our own. So when the global stage is not hearing a lot from the Chinese culture and not to mention the African culture, I guess Nuhu is onto something. The globalization that amplifies some cultures while extinguishing the others should have been enough since the very beginning.
And yet that’s not the whole picture. We see that our traditional works like Sun Tzu’s Art of War being worshiped by businessmen around the globe makes us start to relook at it and appreciate it again. And the Nobel Prize awarding for Moyan’s literature leads us to reflect on the development of our villages. So in the past, only we, Chinese people protect and pass on Chinese culture; but now, the international scholars, professors or even just ordinary people all over the world who get interested in our culture are preserving it. The uniqueness not well-protected by us transforms into the diversity universally-respected by global citizens. It is because of globalization that China and its culture are truly on a global stage.
So globalization is actually an on-going process that keeps surprising us while startling those worries and fears. It’s a dynamic system that we should look for ways to utilize and enhance.
But with the Brexit and the success of Trumpism, it seems major countries are all shifting away from globalization. But just because they are slowing down, making turns and adjusting themselves instead of peddling up, it doesn’t mean they are going for anti-globalization.
We are at an unprecedented point where the world becomes ever so connected that we need to figure out the boundaries and balance between censorship and openness; sameness and differences; patriotism and global citizenship. It’s the best time that every nation should seek for a better role to play in the globalization where we should continue to make improvements on.
It’s very understandable for nations to panic and make changes but we should never quit for it’s clear to us all that globalization is the only way that we seek for co-prosperity.
Globalization is not a conspiracy planned already, but a beautifully unfinished song to be written by us all.
Enough is SO NOT enough.

On March 14th, 20xx, professor Stephen William Hawking passed away. His contribution to inflationary cosmology has forever shifted our understanding of the universe. He wasn’t just a physicist for England, but for all mankind. His death marks the end of an era. He has passed the baton to a new generation of minds, to a new era. The exploration of nature waits for no man. So, are we ready to embrace the new era and new challenges?
When I was a kid, professor Hawking was known to me as the author of A Brief History of Time. I bought a lot of science books back then, but they were really difficult to understand. Whenever I stumbled, I would turn to my physics teacher for help. We would go through pages and pages of materials together, whether it was middle school stuff or Feynman’s lecture from Caltech, sometimes hours on end. I felt like we were tearing off the mask of nature and staring at the face of god. It was his guidance that encouraged me to study physics today. We’re living in an era in which science is embedded in people’s lives. From teachers who pass on knowledge, to construction workers who build labs; from organizations that provide funding, to scientists who conduct research, we all contribute to science in our own unique ways. We the people say we’re ready.
On October 5th, 20xx, China finally had its first Nobel Prize in natural science. Ms. Tu Youyou’s work and her receiving the most prestigious science award made us proud. We’re living in an era in which China is building some of the best research projects and institutions worldwide. Just a month ago, Professor Zhang Miman won the UNESCO for Women in Science Award, making her the fifth Chinese recipient of this honor. A week after that, The Economist referred to China as “a continent-sized rapidly growing economy with a culture of scientific inquiry”. Physicist and vice president of the Chinese Academy of Science, Dr. Zhang Jie stated, “China now has the most accurate, sufficient and largest amount of data; China has the highest, fastest and best ability of data analysis. The Chinese government will be strongly pushing for the sharing and utilization of data resources.” We as a country say we’re ready.
Science is an immortal topic of mankind. We’ve come this far because we’ve learned to work together and let the ideas evolve. The dispute over the completeness of quantum mechanics, for example, was resolved in the 5th Solvay conference, attended by 29 physicists from 10 different countries who have won 15 Nobel Prizes combined. That was almost 100 years ago. Now we’re living in an era in which information is transmitted at the speed of light, in which “International cooperation” is not just a slogan anymore, especially to the scientific community. Chinese Academy of Science now has 47 partners overseas. The International Council for Science now includes 122 national members, 23 scientific associates and 31 scientific unions. The facilities of the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, are available to over 600 universities and institutes around the globe. We, the world, are more than ready.
We’re all made of particles that have existed since the beginning of the universe, I’d like to believe those particles traveled through countless eras to create us, so that we, the people, China, and the world, can stand on the shoulders of giants, march into the new era with our head held high, and make people like Professor Hawking proud.
英語(yǔ)比賽演講稿2022 篇4
Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen,
By the time we are born onto this land, our own Chinese story begins. Only when we put our stories together, can we discover something new.
My mom was among the first generation in China to pick up a dual major, trade together with English. Her mom, my grandma, was a professor at the same college. And now, I am following my family’s footsteps, at the same university. I want to accomplish a dream that has been passed on for three generations.
When grandma entered college, she was in the age of prime, but education wasn’t. It was an age when China had a literacy of merely over 50 percent; it was an age when one out of eight got enrolled by a university or college; it was an age when even the top-class universities in China were not recognized by the world. It was with the aspiration of changing education for the better that my grandma became a teacher, in pursuit of teaching students at home and learning more about the abroad.
When my mother crossed the threshold of higher education into college, she was experiencing the tides of the Reform and Opening-up. It was an age when China was ready to embrace the world. With the demand for English talents staying high, she brought her talents to the field of international trade, with the hope of broadening her horizon and telling her international clients a Chinese story.
30 years later, it is already a new era when I step into the classroom where my mom and my grandma studied. The ambience in the renovated classroom is urging me to embark on a new journey; yet on the bookshelf, the books passed on since my grandma’s age is reminding me of a dream that has never changed: becoming a language scholar with a global vision, and be a good narrator of the Chinese story.
I took out my grandma’s notebook, which was already old and gray, trying to learn something new from the past. On the frontpage, wrote one of the earliest Chinese stories, taken from the Great Learning: “If you can do something new, then let it happen every day. With perseverance, every day becomes a new day.”
It was the moment when I realized that there has been something unchanged in the new era: that is always equipping ourselves with the new ideas and keep in pace with the time which never waits. Only by bearing this virtue in our minds that has inherited by the Chinese people for 5,000 years, can we gain both the confidence and the competence in telling a good Chinese story to all.
Tell the Chinese story to the Chinese people, for a new China with cultural confidence; tell the Chinese story to every global citizen, and together we build a community of prosperity, peace, and a shared future. The story of my mom, my grandma and myself will always remind me of the mission of a language learner.
I’m now crossing the threshold into a New Era, and now I fell I am ready to tell a new Chinese story to new audience. Thank you very much!
英語(yǔ)比賽演講稿2022 篇5
When I was still a freshman in college, one Scottish professor complained to me about being overcharged at a grocery store. He explained that many business owners in China would assume that white “foreigners” are rich and unable to understand Chinese. My amiable professor, unwilling to start a conflict, would always pay the undue price even though he was only meagerly paid by my university and was able to speak perfect Mandarin.
As a student of humanities, I’m particularly intrigued by the ramifications of cross-cultural encounters entailed by the new era. We have to bear in mind that whenever we talk about the new era, there is always an old era that keeps haunting us in various ways. Last year I went to the University of Tokyo for a one-year exchange program. Before I left, my grandma seemed quite distraught and apprehensive: she told me to take care of myself as if I was about to go to the battlefield.
But we Chinese are not the only ones infested by outdated misconceptions. When I was bidding farewell to my American professor at an academic writing class in Japan, she stopped me and asked me, “Are you really from China?” At first I thought she was pointing at my handsomeness, asking me whether I had been to Korea for plastic surgery. Well, clearly this is another stereotype that we should get rid of. But to my disappointment, she was actually referring to my English skills. “I’ve never met any Chinese student who can talk and write like you do,” She said, “You must have been stayed in the States for some time, haven’t you?” It does seem that even a specialist in linguistics can’t escape the illusion built up by the last generation of Chinese students: gauche and diffident, unable to articulate themselves in English.
Nevertheless, such stereotypes are becoming a thing of the past. When professors around the globe meet with an increasing number of students from China with both language proficiency and academic competence, well-qualified students will no longer be a surprise. Moreover, with more people going abroad and enjoying firsthand encounters with different cultures, people like my grandma will no longer be subject to the fossilized, antiquated narrative of the past. The interesting thing is, after I told my grandma my experiences in Japan, how clean, safe and beautiful their cities are and how nice, polite and considerate their people are, she gladly removed Japan from the list of least-want-to-visit foreign countries and put it instead to the most-want-to-visit one.
Even the shop owner near my campus is now repenting for his peccadillo. When gradually more international purchasers become his patrons, he would no longer treat them differently. And he would even occasionally call out for them, yelling “come, come,” “cheap, cheap,” “thanks thanks” with a very strong Chinese accent. Meanwhile, my Scottish professor has now equipped himself with Wechat and Alipay, assimilating seamlessly into the local life here.
The old era is like a cocoon, protecting us from possible dangers outside and providing us with warmth and comfort. However, an overreliance on memories and experiences of a long-gone past can also hinder us from genuine, meaningful interactions for the future, just as the cocoon can also serve as a wall to bar us from the beautiful world outside. But in order to make a brand-new attire or to build a modern silk road, we have to plunge the cocoons into hot water and obtain the silk despite the pain. So ladies and gentlemen, don’t be trapped by the old era. Transcend it, and embrace the new one.
Thank you.

英語(yǔ)比賽演講稿2022 篇7
someone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of abook, whose pages are infinite”. i don’t know who wrote these words, but i’vealways liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it tobe. we are all in the position of the farmers. if we plant a good seed ,we reapa 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. toanswer it, first i have to ask “what do you understand by the word youth?” youthis not a time of life, it’s a state of mind. it’s not a matter of rosy cheeks,red lips or supple knees. it’s the matter of the will. it’s the freshness of thedeep spring of life.
a poet said “to see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wildflower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. severaldays ago, i had a chance to listen to a lecture. i learnt a lot there. i’d liketo share it with all of you. let’s show our right palms. we can see three linesthat show how our love.career and life is. i have a short line of life. whatabout yours? i wondered whether we could see our future in this way. well, let’smake a fist. where is our future? where is our love, career, and life? tellme.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 gobetter itself. don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened. from thepast, we’ve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher. we’ve learnt thatwe can’t choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it. failure doesn’tmean 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 thefirst chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. the past has gone. nothingwe do will change it. but the future is in front of us. believe that what wegive to the world, the world will give to us. and from today on, let’s be theowners of ourselves, and speak out “we are the world, we are the future.”
英語(yǔ)比賽演講稿2022 篇8
whether there's afterlife, the answer has never been the same.the atheists deny after life, believing that our life is no more than from thecradle to the grave. they may care about their illustrious names after death;they may feel attached to the affection of their offspring, but they never laytheir hopes on their afterlife. they may also say that good will be rewardedwith good, and evil with evil, but they don't really believe any retribution intheir after life.
however, in the religious world or among the superstitious people, thebelief in afterlife is very popular. they do not only believe in afterlife, butthousands of reincarnations as well. in the mysterious world, there are theparadise and the hell, the celestial beings and the gods, the buddha and thebodhisattvas.
maybe they really believed it, or maybe they just wanted to make use ofpeople's veneration, the ancient emperors always declared that they were thereal dragons, the sons of god, while the royal ministers claimed to be thereincarnations of various constellations. but can the stars reincarnate?

good morning/evening/afternoon, ladies and gentlemen :
today, my speech is about talents,in my opionion, talents are indispensable in nowadays society. as is known to all that the fight among countries is actually the fight among talents.
first, i'd like to define the word"talent" in my idea, a talent is one person who is good at or expertised in some or multiple areas. nowadays, as the world developing goes on , if one country want to rank top or do a good job in the world, the country must have many talents.for example, china, the biggest developing country in the world, in the past 100 years, is always invaded by other countries, why ,the reason is that china at that time had not so many talents. if they had anti-intrusion leader talents in the war, needless to say,they would have beat those big powers.if they had talents in weapons manufacturing, nodody dares to provoke us.however, nowadays, it's a totally different situation, china has become powerfulin all over the world, why ? because there are many talents serving the country, the civilians become more and more literated.more and more people go to university,more and more people come to receive further education. so what is that in return,talents in army protect our country from invasion, talents in commerce help make our economy keep in improving, talents in aerospace make the world see chinese manned spacecraft flying. talents in sports make china rank the first in the olympic games......
to sum up, talents will play a more and more impoetant role in the world, if one country intends to flourish, he must foster talents as many as they can ,that's all,thank you.
早上/晚上/下午好,女士們,先生們:
今天,我的演講是關(guān)于人才,在我看來(lái),人才在當(dāng)今社會(huì)是不可或缺的。眾所周知,國(guó)家間的斗爭(zhēng)實(shí)際上是人才之間的戰(zhàn)斗。
首先,我想定義“人才”這個(gè)詞在我的想法,才能是一個(gè)人誰(shuí)是擅長(zhǎng)或公司部分或多個(gè)領(lǐng)域。如今,隨著世界發(fā)展,如果一個(gè)國(guó)家想要排名頂部或世界上做得很好,國(guó)家必須有很多人才。例如,中國(guó),世界上最大的發(fā)展中國(guó)家,在過(guò)去的120xx年里,總是被其他國(guó)家的入侵,當(dāng)時(shí)為什么,原因是中國(guó)沒(méi)有如此多的人才。如果他們anti-intrusion戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)領(lǐng)袖人才,不用說(shuō),他們會(huì)打敗那些大國(guó)。如果他們?cè)谖淦髦圃烊瞬?nodody敢惹我們。然而,如今,這是一個(gè)完全不同的情況下,中國(guó)已成為全世界powerfulin,為什么?因?yàn)橛泻芏嗳瞬欧⻊?wù)于國(guó)家,平民越來(lái)越有文化。越來(lái)越多的人上大學(xué),越來(lái)越多的人開(kāi)始接受進(jìn)一步的教育。在軍隊(duì)是什么,作為回報(bào),才能保護(hù)我們的國(guó)家免受入侵,人才在商業(yè)的幫助使我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)保持改善,人才航空讓世界看到中國(guó)載人飛船飛行。人才在運(yùn)動(dòng)使中國(guó)排名第一個(gè)在奧運(yùn)會(huì)上……
總之,人才在世界上的角色將起到越來(lái)越重要,如果一個(gè)國(guó)家想要蓬勃發(fā)展,他必須盡可能多培養(yǎng)人才,這是所有,謝謝。

英語(yǔ)比賽演講稿2022 篇11
Crossing the Sea
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. The title of my speech today is "Crossing the Sea".
An English poet by the name of Rudyard Kipling once wrote in his poem "We and They":
"All the people like us are We
And everyone else is They
We live over the sea
While They live over the way
We eat pork and beef with cowhorn-handled knives
They who gobble their rice off a leaf
Are horrified out of their lives."
When these lines first caught my eyes, I was shocked-how could two peoples remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past? Today's society, of course, is an entirely different picture. Those people who used to eat with cowhorn-handled knives might be very skillful in using chopsticks, and those people who used to gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.
Indeed, just take China as an example: Our modern life has been influenced by Western style of living in so many ways that it's no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at McDonald's and even rather elderly people dressed in Apple Jeans.
However, these are only some expressions of the cultural changes taking place in our society today. What is really going on is a subtle but significant restructuring of the nation's mentality. Just look around.
How many college graduates are ready to compete aggressively for every job opportunity, whereas not long ago they were asked just to sit idle and wait for whatever was to be assigned to them by the government?
How many young people are now eager to seek for an independent life whereas only two decades ago they would rely totally on their parents to arrange for their future? Ask anyone who participates in today's speech contest. Who has not come with a will to fight and who has not come determined to achieve self-fulfillment in winning the game? And I'm quite certain that if Confucius had lived to see today's China, he would have been horrified to see young lovers kissing each other in public places in an unreserved expression of their passion.
It is therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient Eastern civilization are already living under strong inf1uence of the Western culture. But it is not only in China that we find the incorporation of the two cultures.
Take the United States as an example: During the 1980s,in face of the overwhelming competition from Japan, many American companies such as the Ford began to adopt a teamwork management from their rivals, the essence of which, lay at the very core of Eastern culture.
Take the Chinese acupuncture as another example: This traditional treatment of diseases is finally finding its way to the West and hence the underlying notion that illness is resulted from the imbalance between Yin and Yang within the body -- an idea which would strike any Westerner as incredible in the past!
Ladies and Gentlemen, we live in a great epoch when the global integration of economy and the information revolution have brought cultures of the world closer than ever before. We live in a particular era when countries, East and West, find themselves in need of readjusting their traditional values. We live, at the same time, at a critical juncture of our evolution because such problems as ethnic conflicts and regional unrest are increasingly posing a threat to the peace and happiness of the whole human race. To cope with such an era and to embrace an even brighter future, we need to learn to live more harmoniously in a world community which is becoming smaller and smaller.
My dear fellow students, our command of the English language renders it possible for us to gain an insight into Western culture while retaining our own cultural identity.Therefore, it is our sacred responsibility to promote the cultural exchanges and hence the mutual understanding between China and the rest of the world.
It is my happiest dream that the new generation of Chinese will not only grow up drinking Coca-Cola and watching Hollywood, but also be blessed with the far-reaching benefits of multiple cultures; benefits that our forefathers had never, ever dreamed of.
To end my speech, I would like to quote Rudyard Kipling again:
"All the people like us are We
And everyone else is They
But once you cross over the sea
You will end by looking on We
As only a sort of They"
Thank you.
穿越海洋
女士們、先生們，晚上好。今天，我演講的題目是:《穿越海洋》。
英國(guó)詩(shī)人羅得雅德?吉卜林曾寫(xiě)過(guò)一首詩(shī)，名叫《我們與他們》，其中寫(xiě)道:
像我們的人是我們
其余的人是他們
我們生活在海這邊
他們生活在路那邊
我們用牛角柄的刀叉吃豬牛肉
吞吃粽葉包飯的他們嚇得要死。
第一次讀到這首詩(shī)，我很震驚——過(guò)去兩個(gè)民族何以如此疏離、彼此陌生?當(dāng)然今日的社會(huì)呈現(xiàn)出完全不同的情景:那些過(guò)去吃米飯的人們也開(kāi)始喜歡吃魚(yú)和薯?xiàng)l。
的確如此，就拿中國(guó)來(lái)說(shuō)，西方的生活方式已經(jīng)廣泛地影響了我們的現(xiàn)代生活，以致對(duì)于年輕人對(duì)搖滾樂(lè)著迷，全家去吃麥當(dāng)勞，老年人穿蘋(píng)果牌牛仔褲，大家都已習(xí)以為常。
然而，這不過(guò)是我們當(dāng)今社會(huì)中所發(fā)生的文化變遷的表面現(xiàn)象而已，真正發(fā)生的卻是我們的民族心理開(kāi)始了微妙而又有重大意義的重建，大家只要看看周?chē)蜁?huì)清楚。
不久以前，大學(xué)生還只是束手空坐，等待政府給他們分配工作;如今，又有多少大學(xué)生正在做充分準(zhǔn)備，為爭(zhēng)取任何工作機(jī)會(huì)而激烈角逐?
20xx年前年輕人還完全依靠父母為他們安排未來(lái)，今天又有多少年輕人在急切地尋求一種獨(dú)立的生活?試問(wèn)今天參加演講比賽的諸位，誰(shuí)不是帶著志在一搏的心情來(lái)到這里?誰(shuí)不是鐵下心來(lái)贏得這場(chǎng)比賽以實(shí)現(xiàn)自我?如今年輕人毫無(wú)顧忌地宣泄情感當(dāng)眾親吻，我確信，倘若孔子在世，他必被嚇壞。
很明顯，我們這些東方古老文明的后裔們?cè)缫焉钤谖鞣轿幕膹?qiáng)烈影響之下，然而出現(xiàn)這種異質(zhì)文化合流的現(xiàn)象不止是在中國(guó)。
以美國(guó)為例，20世紀(jì)80年代，面對(duì)來(lái)自日本的強(qiáng)大競(jìng)爭(zhēng)壓力，許多美國(guó)公司如福特公司開(kāi)始采用對(duì)手的集體合作管理方式，而這種方式正是東方文化核心之精華。
再以中華針灸為例，這種傳統(tǒng)的醫(yī)療方法以及這種療法的依據(jù)——即人體陰陽(yáng)失調(diào)導(dǎo)致疾病最終得到西方社會(huì)的承認(rèn)，而在過(guò)去，西方人還認(rèn)為這是無(wú)稽之談。
女士們，先生們，我們恰逢一個(gè)偉大的時(shí)代:全球經(jīng)濟(jì)一體化、信息革命使得世界各種文化聯(lián)系比以往更加緊密;
我們恰逢一個(gè)特殊的年代:無(wú)論是東方國(guó)家還是西方國(guó)家都意識(shí)到自身急需調(diào)整傳統(tǒng)價(jià)值。與此同時(shí)，我們正生活在發(fā)展的關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻:種族沖突，地區(qū)動(dòng)蕩正越來(lái)越威脅著整個(gè)人類(lèi)的和平與幸福。如何對(duì)待這一時(shí)代，擁抱更加燦爛的未來(lái)，我們需要學(xué)會(huì)在越來(lái)越小的世界大家庭中更加和睦地生活。
親愛(ài)的同學(xué)們，我們掌握英語(yǔ)，得以了解西方文化，與此同時(shí)，又不失本民族的文化特征。
因此，促進(jìn)中國(guó)與世界的文化交流與相互理解是我們神圣的責(zé)任。
我有一個(gè)美好的夢(mèng)想，我夢(mèng)想中國(guó)的年輕一代不僅僅在喝可口可樂(lè)、看好萊塢影片中成長(zhǎng)，而且還受益于我們的父輩所從未夢(mèng)想過(guò)的多元文化所帶來(lái)的深遠(yuǎn)影響。
最后，再次以羅得雅德?吉卜林的詩(shī)作為我此次演講的結(jié)尾:
像我們的人是我們
其余的人是他們
然而一旦你們穿洋越海
就不會(huì)再把我們
看做僅僅是他們。
謝謝。

What Kind of animal am I?
I was born in a small river. When I was young, the river was my home. I didn't know my parents. But I had hundreds of brothers and sisters. I swam sbout with them all day.
At that time I didn't look like my parents. I had no legs, but I had a ling tail. So I looked like a fish.
Then my tail became shorter, and now I have four legs and a very short tail.
I know I'm going to have no tail at all soon, I'm going to be like my parents, then I'm going to jump out of the water. I'm going to live on the land or in the water, too. I'm going to eat a lot of insects. So I'm good for people.
我是什么?
我出生在一個(gè)小河流。當(dāng)我年輕的時(shí)候,這條河是我的家。我不知道我的父母。但我有成百上千的兄弟姐妹。我整天游與他們不安。
那時(shí)我看起來(lái)不像我的父母。我沒(méi)有腿,但是我有一個(gè)靈的尾巴。所以我看起來(lái)像一條魚(yú)。
然后我的尾巴變得更短,現(xiàn)在我有四條腿和一個(gè)短尾巴。
我知道我將很快沒(méi)有尾巴,我要像我的父母,然后我要跳出水面。我要住在陸地或在水中,。我要吃很多昆蟲(chóng)。所以我對(duì)人有益。

But the pumpkin is too big. The panda can’t take it home.
Suddenly she sees a bear riding a bike toward her. She watches the bike.
“I know!I have a good idea.” she jumps and shouts happily,
“I can roll a pumpkin. It’s like a wheel.”
So she rolls the pumpkin to her home. When her mother sees the big pumpkin,she is surprised, “Oh, my God! How can you carry it home?”the little panda answers proudly, “I can’t lift it, but I can roll it.”
Her mother smiled and says，“What a clever girl! Use you heard to do something,”

英語(yǔ)比賽演講稿2022 篇15
ladies and gentlemen , good afternoon! i‘m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is ―youth‖. i hope you will like it , and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it. first i want to ask you some questions: 1、do you know what is youth? 2、how do you master your youth? 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 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 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!
女士們，先生們，下午好!我很高興能站在這里給你一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)短的演講。今天我演講的題目是―青年。我希望你會(huì)喜歡它，并發(fā)現(xiàn)在你的年輕人的重要性，讓更多的珍惜它。首先我想問(wèn)你一些問(wèn)題：1，你知道什么是青春?jiǎn)?2，你如何掌握你的青春?青春不是人生的一段時(shí)間，它是一種精神狀態(tài);
它不是紅潤(rùn)的面頰，紅色的嘴唇和柔軟的膝蓋，這是一個(gè)感情的問(wèn)題：它是新鮮的;
它是生命之深泉的清新。青春意味著勇氣驅(qū)走怯懦氣貫長(zhǎng)虹，冒險(xiǎn)戰(zhàn)勝安逸。這往往存在于一個(gè)60歲以上的男子，比一個(gè)20歲的男孩。沒(méi)有人會(huì)變老，只是靠一些年。不思進(jìn)取。歲月在皮膚上起皺紋，但放棄熱情則會(huì)使靈魂起皺。憂慮，恐懼，自我不信任扭曲了心靈，把精神變成了塵土。16的60，在每個(gè)人都有?心奇跡的誘惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰的下一個(gè)是什么，快樂(lè)的游戲生活。在你的心和我的心有一個(gè)無(wú)線電臺(tái)：只要它接收到美好，希望，歡樂(lè)，勇氣和力量的信息，從男人和從無(wú)限的，只要你年輕。當(dāng)天線倒塌時(shí)，你的心靈蒙上玩世不恭的霜雪和悲觀厭世的冰凌，那么你已經(jīng)老了，甚至在20，但只要你豎起天線，捕捉樂(lè)觀的信號(hào)，你就有希望在80歲死去。謝謝!
英語(yǔ)比賽演講稿2022 篇16
Good afternoon, honorable judges, dear teachers & friends.
I'm Lai Senhan from the University of International Business & Economics. Do you know what date is it today? Today is the Olympic Date. I'm so glad to stand here today to share my idea about Beijing Olympic Games together with you all. The title of my speech is: what can we do for Beijing Olympic Games?
First of all, let me tell you a story that happened 2 years ago. At the end of August, 20xx, when I decided to come to Beijing for study, my friends hel* * rewell Party for me. They said: after your graduation, you should look for a job in Beijing, and then in 20xx, we shall go to visit you during the Olympic Games. I laughed and answered: OK, no problem!
Time flied and 2 years passed. Now I am a graduate. My teachers and classmates always ask me: what's your plan after your graduation? Go back home, stay in Beijing, or go to some other places? And I always answer: I will stay in Beijing. I make this decision not because of my promise to my friends 2 years ago, but because: I've fallen in love with Beijing! I'm eager to welcome the coming Olympic Games together with my fellow countrymen, and I wish I could do something for the Olympics & for the city.
As we know, Beijing will host the 29th Summer Olympic Games in 20xx. As a Chinese, I think many people are thinking: what we can do for Beijing Olympic Games. Most of us are not athletes, we cannot take part in competitions directly; we are not officials either, we don't need to do the preparatory work. We are only ordinary people, what we can do!
There are still so many things we can do! For example, for me, I am a graduate majoring Business English. As far as I am concerned, I will keep on learning English hard, and apply for being a volunteer. I will use English to serve the Games together with other volunteers. And also, as a businessman at that time, I will avail myself of the great commercial opportunities that the Olympics brings to us, make more efforts to offer my contribution to the growth of our national economy.
And for all of us, with the goal to host a "Green Olympics", we shall plant more trees, grass & flowers. Don't waste water. In order to alleviate the problems of air pollution & traffic congestions, we shall take buses & subways more. With the goal to host a "People's Olympics", and in order to make our Olympics more attractive and to make our Beijing more beautiful, we shall help everyone we meet who needs help, we shall abide by traffic rules, don't smoke in public and no spitting. The most important way for our Chinese to support our Beijing Olympic Games, in my opinion, is to work hard on our duties.
下午好,尊敬的評(píng)委,親愛(ài)的老師和朋友。
我賴Senhan大學(xué)的國(guó)際商務(wù)和經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)。你知道今天是什么日期?今天是奧運(yùn)日期。我很高興今天站在這里,和你一起分享我的想法關(guān)于北京奧運(yùn)會(huì)。我演講的題目是:我們能做些什么為北京奧運(yùn)會(huì)?
首先,讓我告訴你一個(gè)故事,發(fā)生在2年前。在20xx年8月,當(dāng)我決定來(lái)北京學(xué)習(xí),我的朋友幫助* * * * rewell黨給我。他們說(shuō):在你畢業(yè)之后,你應(yīng)該找一份工作在北京,然后在20xx年,我們將在奧運(yùn)會(huì)期間去看望你。我笑著回答:好的,沒(méi)問(wèn)題!
時(shí)間飛,2年過(guò)去了�，F(xiàn)在我是一名研究生。我的老師和同學(xué)總是問(wèn)我:你畢業(yè)后你的計(jì)劃是什么?回家,留在北京,還是去其他地方?我總是回答:我將呆在北京。我做出這個(gè)決定,不是因?yàn)槲掖饝?yīng)我的朋友兩年前,而是因?yàn)?我愛(ài)上了北京!我渴望歡迎奧運(yùn)連同我的同胞們,和我希望我能做一些為奧運(yùn)會(huì)和城市。
正如我們所知,北京將在20xx年舉辦第29屆夏季奧運(yùn)會(huì)。作為一個(gè)中國(guó)人,我想很多人都想:我們能做什么為北京奧運(yùn)會(huì)。我們大多數(shù)人不是運(yùn)動(dòng)員,我們不能直接參與競(jìng)賽;我們不是官員,我們不需要做準(zhǔn)備工作。我們只是普通人,我們所能做的!
仍然有很多事情我們可以做!例如,對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō),我是一個(gè)研究生專業(yè)商務(wù)英語(yǔ)。就我而言,我將繼續(xù)努力學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ),并申請(qǐng)成為一個(gè)志愿者。我將使用英語(yǔ)與其他志愿者一起為奧運(yùn)會(huì)服務(wù)。而且,作為一個(gè)商人,我將利用自己的商業(yè)機(jī)會(huì),奧運(yùn)會(huì)帶給我們,做出更大的努力提供我對(duì)國(guó)民經(jīng)濟(jì)的增長(zhǎng)的貢獻(xiàn)。
和對(duì)我們所有人來(lái)說(shuō),舉辦一個(gè)“綠色奧運(yùn)”的目標(biāo),我們將種植更多的樹(shù)木,草地和鮮花。不要浪費(fèi)水。為了緩解空氣污染和交通擁擠的問(wèn)題,我們應(yīng)當(dāng)采取公共汽車(chē)和地鐵。目標(biāo)主機(jī)“人文奧運(yùn)”,為了使我們的奧運(yùn)會(huì)更具吸引力和使我們的北京更加美麗,我們應(yīng)該幫助那些需要幫助的每個(gè)人我們見(jiàn)面,我們應(yīng)當(dāng)遵守交通規(guī)則,不要在公共場(chǎng)所吸煙,不隨地吐痰。最重要的為我們的中國(guó)支持我們的北京奧運(yùn)會(huì),在我看來(lái),努力工作是我們的職責(zé)。
英語(yǔ)比賽演講稿2022 篇17
Hello, dear judges! I'm . Please look at my picure.
In my picture, there are two lovely rabbits. They are my pets.
Although a lot of people think that children should not have pets at home, because they're dirty,
However, in my opinion, children should have some pets at home, because when children learn to take care of the pets, they also learn how to love others.
In fact, I suggest every child have a pet at home and take care of it himself.
Otherwise, they cannot learn to love other people and animal.
Thank you!
