英語演講稿1
Miss Qin is my favorite teacher. She teaches us Chinese. She is lovely lady in her thirty-two years old. Her warm smile and black long hair are her symbols.
My classmates like her very much, because she is always kind to us. In my view, she is a wise teacher. She tells us many stories to us.
It seems she knows everything. Besides, she writes good articles. She tells us if we want to write good articles, we should read books as much as we can. She always cares much about us.
I think this is important for a good teacher.
英語演講稿2
Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Today my topic is The Road Not Taken in Life.
“Why are you doing this? Don’t you know it’s a total waste of time?” That’s what my mom yelled at the ten-year-old me, when she found out that I had signed up for an English story-telling competition.
I bowed my head; yes, she was right. By then I was entering Grade Six, faced with the biggest challenge yet to come—the examination to enter my dream junior high school. For that, I had given up my beloved piano lesson, my favorite cartoon program and even the playful weekend family reunion with my cousins. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if my very-strict-university-teacher mother got furious at me when I chose to do anything besides study at that crucial moment.
But that’s not all to it. Now please take a good look at the twenty-year-old me, and imagine what I was like when I was ten. Here are the key words: nervous, timid, shy, tongue-tied when facing strangers, and essentially a bookworm. These signs looked fatal to my mother, and possibly to you, too; she thought that I could be anything but a good public speaker.
Well, I myself actually said no to my English teacher at first, because I had never done anything like that before and I was afraid. But he told me since I liked reading so much, why not try to tell a story I love to everyone? He also promised me that the judges were not frightening at all; just think of them as carrots and cabbages in a vegetable patch.
The ten-year-old me was persuaded by my teacher’s words. The feeling of telling my beloved stories to someone else ignited a spark of anticipation in my little chest. So I chose to endure my mother’s ranting for an entire hour, then raised my head bravely and pleaded: “Mom, please. I just want to try.”
My mother looked as if she was on the verge of another outburst—but she only sighed. I took that as her permission, and started working with my teacher day and night to find a story, to illustrate the details, and to practice my facial expressions and gestures in front of the mirror. On the day of the competition, I went on the stage for the very first time in my life; I could feel the nervousness threatening to bring me down, and I felt cheated by my teacher: it was impossible to picture the judges as mere carrots and cabbages. But I went on. Although I only got the third prize at that time, on that stage I stayed ever since, even to this very moment.
I should thank my teacher and my mother for letting me take a road that I have never taken before. Little did I know then that this road would one day lead the shy little ten-year-old me into a wonderland; it led me to meet all of you here today. I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that it isn’t so terrifying to venture into the unknown at all; all you need is a little courage and determination. See where my road has led me, and bravely take your first step.
英語演講稿3
尊敬的評委,同學(xué)們:
下午好!
最近,在我們的社會中有一場激烈的辯論。大學(xué)生是一種罕見特權(quán)的受益者,他們在特殊的地方接受特殊的教育。但是,我們能夠面對挑戰(zhàn),戰(zhàn)勝一切困難嗎?我們能夠改善他人的生活嗎?我們能接受建設(shè)國家未來的責(zé)任嗎?
憤世嫉俗者說,大學(xué)生是嬌生慣養(yǎng)的.失落的一代,他們會對最輕微的不適感到畏縮。但是憤世嫉俗者錯了。我看到的大學(xué)生都在急切地學(xué)習(xí)如何獨(dú)立生活。我們互相幫忙打掃宿舍,一起逛街砍價,兼職補(bǔ)充零花錢。
憤世嫉俗者說我們只關(guān)心成績;我們忽視了性格培養(yǎng)的需要。但憤世嫉俗者又錯了。我們彼此深切關(guān)懷,我們珍惜自由,我們珍惜正義,我們追求真理。上周,我的數(shù)千名同學(xué)進(jìn)行了血型測試,以便為患有血癌的兒童做出貢獻(xiàn)。
作為大學(xué)生,我們是處在人生關(guān)鍵轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)的青少年。我們都面臨著一個根本性的選擇:犬儒主義還是信仰,每一個都將深刻地影響我們的未來,甚至我們國家的未來。我相信我所有的同學(xué)。雖然我們?nèi)匀粵]有經(jīng)驗,甚至有點(diǎn)幼稚。我相信我們有勇氣和信念去迎接任何挑戰(zhàn),承擔(dān)我們的責(zé)任。我們正準(zhǔn)備承擔(dān)新的責(zé)任和任務(wù),并利用我們接受的教育使我們的世界變得更美好。我相信我們的未來。

高中英語學(xué)科的高手歷來都具備以下四大特征:
一、詞匯量比一般學(xué)生大,語言知識(習(xí)慣用法)積累夠多。
二、語法基礎(chǔ)過硬,并且在閱讀能中敏銳地發(fā)現(xiàn)語法知識和語言知識。
三、聽說能力很強(qiáng)。
四、善于捕捉機(jī)會用英語表達(dá)自己,有良好的英語思維習(xí)慣。
英語是一門工具學(xué)科,其重點(diǎn)不在于要從老師那里學(xué)到多少有關(guān)英語的知識,而在于在老師的指導(dǎo)和幫助下,練就一套扎實過硬的聽說讀寫能力和探究英語語言規(guī)律的能力。作為剛跨進(jìn)高中大門的一年級的新生,不宜僅停留和滿足于初中英語學(xué)習(xí)中所形成的一些學(xué)習(xí)方式。過去的學(xué)習(xí)方式需要發(fā)展、改進(jìn)和完善。英語學(xué)習(xí)是在一系列活動中完成的。這些活動應(yīng)該組成一個完整的系統(tǒng)。在構(gòu)建自己的英語學(xué)習(xí)系統(tǒng)中,一定要從聽、說、讀和寫四大技能方面考慮。
能聽懂他人比較純正的英語,不僅是英語考試的需要,也是同學(xué)們未來步入社會,施展才能所必需的技能。我們平時的聽力訓(xùn)練不僅僅是在訓(xùn)練你的英語聽力,其實它也是一種語感培養(yǎng),充足的英語聽力訓(xùn)練同時也會極大的有助于提高學(xué)習(xí)者的口語能力。鑒于同學(xué)們不可能自己抽出多少時間去聽英語歌曲、看英文電影或者直接用英語與人口頭交流,那么,充分利用好本年級統(tǒng)一的聽力訓(xùn)練時間就顯得尤其重要。在聽力訓(xùn)練中,既要學(xué)會抓關(guān)鍵詞,也要學(xué)會聽懂完整的句子;既要學(xué)會聽懂不同語音語調(diào)對語意的影響,也要學(xué)會聽懂有失去爆破和連讀現(xiàn)象的句子。有難度的聽力訓(xùn)練試題最好是能在過了一段時間后,等到忘記得差不多時,有再聽一次的機(jī)會。所以在做聽力訓(xùn)練試題時,我建議同學(xué)們一律用鉛筆做記號,對完答案、看完錄音文字材料后再把鉛筆痕跡察掉。
英語的口頭表達(dá)能力雖然不是我們考試的必備能力,但它卻是同學(xué)們將來所需要的最重要的,最實用的英語技能。一口流利的英語是每一個英語學(xué)習(xí)者所夢想達(dá)到的理想水平。重視口語能力的訓(xùn)練不僅對未來有重要意義,對提高同學(xué)們高中階段的英語水平也有非常重要的意義。說英語就是運(yùn)用英語。語言能力和語言知識,同許多其它能力和知識一樣,只有通過運(yùn)用,并且經(jīng)常運(yùn)用才會真正地學(xué)到手,學(xué)到家。英語是一門語言。語言是聽出來的,是經(jīng)過不斷模仿后才能說出來的。高中生的英語口語能力要求,除了一般日常交際應(yīng)答以外,還應(yīng)該具備能連續(xù)表達(dá)含五個以上的句子。練就一口流暢的英語口語需要同學(xué)們抓住三個機(jī)會:一是課堂上老師為同學(xué)們提供的開口機(jī)會。二是課前演講或者值日報告的機(jī)會。三是早讀是個好機(jī)會。早讀不應(yīng)該總是停留在背單詞、背課文這樣的簡單勞動中。單詞不是用來背誦的。朗讀單詞的目的是要把單詞的發(fā)音讀準(zhǔn),并且能上口,讀起來不勉強(qiáng),不繞口。課文也不是用來背誦的。熟讀課文是為了加深理解,鞏固詞匯知識和語法知識。既然口語能力那么重要,同學(xué)們不妨把背誦或者復(fù)述課文當(dāng)成是口語表達(dá)或者演講的準(zhǔn)備呢?換句話說,把課文材料準(zhǔn)備得再熟悉不過以后,來一次演講展示,那且不美哉!真正的高英語水平絕不是看書看出來的,也不是做習(xí)題能做出來的,更不是聽老師講課能聽出來的。早讀期間通過不斷模仿,放聲吼叫,反復(fù)實踐,你一定能快速提高自己的口語表達(dá)能力。
英語短文閱讀的重要性不僅表現(xiàn)在高中英語考試中它的份量最大,而且還表現(xiàn)在英語短文是英語詞匯知識和語法知識的載體方面。詞匯量的`擴(kuò)大、詞匯知識的豐富和句子表達(dá)的多樣性光靠死記硬背是無法也不可能實現(xiàn)的。擴(kuò)大詞匯量、豐富自己的詞匯知識和地道完美的表達(dá)自己只有依靠優(yōu)良的閱讀習(xí)慣。教材課文是精讀材料,需要同學(xué)們讀熟讀透,直至能開口娓娓道來為止。課外閱讀又叫泛讀。高中英語新課標(biāo)教材對高中前八個模塊的學(xué)習(xí)有一個要求:課外閱讀要完成30萬單詞的閱讀量。也就是說:同學(xué)們需要每天有500到700個單詞量的閱讀。課外閱讀也是運(yùn)用語言的一種必不可少的形式。課外閱讀不能停留在完成幾道閱讀理解試題或者完形填空試題。關(guān)鍵在盡量弄懂文章中的每一句話含義、長難句的結(jié)構(gòu)。留意你還不很熟悉的詞匯、詞匯知識和語法知識。還要去認(rèn)真體會不同的英語句子在表達(dá)上的精確性。千萬不要在一些你還不認(rèn)識的,拼寫怪誕,發(fā)音困難的生僻詞匯上浪費(fèi)時間和精力。
閱讀能力,除詞匯量大小以外,還包含閱讀速度、長難句理解、和把握主題大意的能力。要會快速閱讀,同學(xué)們必須學(xué)會一些閱讀的技能:如:skimming(跳讀)、scanning(掃讀)和digesting(研讀)。Skimming和scanning就是根據(jù)閱讀任務(wù)在文中查找相關(guān)信息。Digesting主要是用來理解長難句、把握主題大意和作者意圖以及猜測詞義的技術(shù)。不僅要研讀長難句結(jié)構(gòu),也還需要研讀邏輯關(guān)系。
流暢的短文表達(dá)能力在很大程度上依賴于你的詞匯量、詞匯知識和句法知識。它們的積累在于平時的聽、說和讀的活動。寫作表達(dá)能力中,你的英語句式的結(jié)構(gòu)思維能力或者英語習(xí)慣思維能力會對表達(dá)能力有重要影響。這就需要同學(xué)們平時養(yǎng)成一個良好習(xí)慣:那就是總是試圖用英語來表達(dá)出你眼睛所看到的,耳朵能聽到的,身體能感受到的和你思想能想到的。除此之外,一篇優(yōu)秀的短文還少不了三個要素:即結(jié)構(gòu),內(nèi)容和語言。
一片結(jié)構(gòu)完美的英文短文,尤其是說明文和議論文,往往有一個比較完優(yōu)美的,誘人深入閱讀的開頭語。主題句是可從開頭語中自然而然過度而來。你所程述的觀點(diǎn),一般都要用事實做論證,或者用具體方式方法來支持。巧妙的結(jié)論句往往能使文章錦上添花。
內(nèi)容需要真實,合乎情理,能讓人信服。文中不要有與主題無關(guān)的內(nèi)容。
語言要盡可能是地道的,去漢語化的英語。要經(jīng)常套用自己在閱讀中、在課堂上學(xué)來句子結(jié)構(gòu)去表達(dá)自己。要敢于嘗試用比較復(fù)雜的句子結(jié)構(gòu)和比較高級的詞匯來使文章進(jìn)一步美化。
聽所讀寫四大技能并不是各自孤立的,也是相互作用和相互制約的。如果平時,只注重某一項技能的學(xué)習(xí)和訓(xùn)練,那是不可能成為一位真正的英語強(qiáng)手的。
任何一門學(xué)科都需要踏實的學(xué)習(xí)作風(fēng)。外語也不例外。學(xué)外語的實主要表現(xiàn)在以下幾個方面:
一、落實詞匯、詞匯知識和特殊句式的積累。落實詞匯和詞匯知識并不是反復(fù)背記詞匯表中的單詞。落實詞匯、詞匯知識以及特殊句式的最好辦法是先探究后運(yùn)用。一個詞匯在經(jīng)過七到八次在不同時間和不同的語境中運(yùn)用后,它就是你的了。詞匯知識和特殊句式也是一樣。寫作是運(yùn)用,造句是運(yùn)用,閱讀,傾聽和與他人用英語交流也是運(yùn)用。借助詞典進(jìn)行造句練習(xí),在造句中運(yùn)用新學(xué)的詞匯不失為一種行之有效的簡單易行的方式。
二、落實課外閱讀。每天堅持花半小時閱讀一兩篇短文。一要真正讀懂。二要留意詞匯運(yùn)用。
三、落實早自習(xí)精讀。每次有硬指標(biāo),死任務(wù)。
四、落實課內(nèi)課外書面作業(yè)。簡單的完成老師布置的作業(yè)量并不是落實。書面作業(yè)質(zhì)的落實必須是在真正懂了、記住了的基礎(chǔ)上又快又好的獨(dú)立的、閉卷式的完成書面作業(yè)。對發(fā)現(xiàn)的漏洞和缺陷要采取補(bǔ)救措施。
五、落實自主探究的學(xué)習(xí)能力培養(yǎng)。學(xué)習(xí)中缺乏自主探究,不善于利用團(tuán)隊合作和與老師溝通是很多高中生在學(xué)習(xí)中存在的一種普遍想象。老師不是保姆,老師不可能把英語的詞匯知識和英語的四大能力烹制成一道道佳肴后,一口一口地喂進(jìn)學(xué)生的口中。老師的探究代替不了學(xué)生的探究。學(xué)習(xí)能力的培養(yǎng)主要是探究能力的培養(yǎng)。學(xué)會了探究,你才會在知識的大海中暢游。學(xué)會了探究,你才會成為終身學(xué)習(xí)者。英語學(xué)科的探究應(yīng)該表現(xiàn)在對某一特定詞匯在文中、在句中的用法和含義的探究,對長難句結(jié)構(gòu)和含義的探究,對相關(guān)知識關(guān)聯(lián)的探究,對作者意圖、主題大意的探究,當(dāng)然也包含對學(xué)法的探究。要探究知識,要有工具(詞典以及各種手冊等)的幫助,更要有團(tuán)隊的合作,還要有老師的幫助。團(tuán)隊合作可以讓你取他人之長補(bǔ)自己之短,還可以集思廣益,產(chǎn)生思想火花。常與老師溝通是可以使你更容易發(fā)現(xiàn)前進(jìn)的方向,少走彎路。
總而言之,英語學(xué)習(xí)需要同學(xué)們從聽說讀寫四大技能方面養(yǎng)成良好的學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣,堅持語言知識積累、精讀、泛讀、課內(nèi)課外作業(yè)和自主探究五個方面的腳踏實地地勤奮努力,就能夠比較輕松地完成高中英語的學(xué)習(xí),為自己將來的遠(yuǎn)大理想奠定堅實的外語基礎(chǔ)。
英語演講稿5
“What would you do if you had only one day left to live?”
I asked this question to my young students when teaching English this winter. What were their answers?
“I would watch television!” the first answer. “I would play with the computer!” the second one. “I would play with computer TOO.” The girl finished her sentence perfectly with a serious smile. Indeed how cute and innocent that smile was, but how seriously my heart was hurt. I was too frightened to listen to more answers like that.
Ten years ago, at their age, I had a different answer: I would spend the last day of my life gazing at the face of my dear grandmother until I inscribed every detail of it onto my mind.
When grandmother was getting old and weak, my family bought her a telephone so I could save time and the trouble of traveling to her home by making phone calls instead. Later we bought her a television so she could watch modern dramas by herself. Then grandma must have been, we assumed, very contented and happy.
But I never really knew how grandma felt. She silently passed away without a word one night. When I heard about her death, a chilling pain pierced my empty heart. The pain grew even sharper as I tried to remember in detail exactly how grandma looked and I failed completely! How could I remember? I had not visited her for ages—it seemed like a century! My memories of her dissolved into thin air and leaked away like water.
Even though I have a telephone, can she hear me now?
Even though I might be on television, can she see me now?
Even though I have modern telecommunications, can she still communicate with me now?
With all these “tele”s, I was powerless.
Don’t people just love the word of “tele”, which means far away. Indeed this is how modern technology has changed our world. But please don’t forget this other word with “tele”: telepathy: which refers to human beings’ inborn ability to connect to our loved ones. Our minds are supposed to read each other’s minds; our hearts are supposed to feel each other’s hearts — and fulfill these without any forms of tool!
But the moment I desperately struggled to remember grandmother’s face, the telepathy between her and me had shut down forever. With the help of modern technology, I killed our telepathy.
This shall never happen again! The “tele”s are great inventions. But “telepathy” gives them the warmth of a human face. Let’s harness the power of television to excite our kids to develop their telepathy with nature… so that they can read the secret language of flowers. Let’s make the telephone lines provoke us to preserve our telepathy with each other, so we can connect in a warm and feeling way. Let technology keep our “telepathy” ALIVE! We need to wake up and make this happen.
I told my grandma’s story to those young kids that day. They got very quiet. They asked me for a second chance to answer the question. They had come to a new understanding – that very moment they had made to me and to our future together, a dear promise.
Thank you very much!

I was seventeen, almost a senior in high school. I was riding my bike to school. I had taken a special route to pick up a gift, but that day, "the road less traveled by" led to disaster. Crossing a road, a drunk driver ran a red light, slammed into me, and shattered my left knee.
It made all the difference.
I was forced to postpone college, plunged into painful therapy . . . but eventually, I also learned much about life and myself. I found the strength to withstand adversity, learned compassion, and above all, I learned that the road not taken is not just about regrets or choices but also about the perpetual now and the always-coming future.
When I first studied Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” in middle school, I was unable to grasp its ambiguity. I always thought that Frost’s persona chooses “a road less traveled by” and lives life being subversive and irreverent. I was wrong. In the poem, both of the two roads that “diverged in a yellow wood” are actually “about the same.” But there has to be a choice, and sometimes, they it can be involuntary (as I learned the hard way). This makes me extremely thankful and resolute when I can make conscious choices and plan for the future, and so I know now that Frost's poem is also about "the road not [yet] taken."
For everyone, this means something slightly different. For me, it means constant vigilance, learning, and love. Our journey is hard, complex, and it often presents unexpected twists, but reflecting on the roads not taken and not yet taken each day gives us a little more strength and confidence. Life cannot and will not me perfect, and the truth is it will end. But as Willa Cather would say, “The end is nothing, the road is all.” The road not taken in the past, and the road not yet taken that lies ahead.
But about the present? It joints the past and the future. What then, is “the road not taken” in the perpetual now? Personally, I find an answer in these lines from Alfred Lord Tennyson’s “Ulysses”:
Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Thank you.

Happiness is like a snowflake, each one unique because the perception of a meaningful life varies from person to person. To many people, happiness means a simple life without any ups and downs, but my happiness comes from a life full of challenge and experience.
When I was a child, happiness was the rare taste of independence, a brave leap from the mundane. I remember the first time I tried to to ride a bike by myself without the support wheels. I went back home with a flat tire, skinned knees, and the biggest grin my face could hold. While other toddlers preferred the safe and secure, I was tumbling down hills and swerving off sidewalks. Even now, I can still recall the exhilaration I had felt when I managed to stay atop that bike for those few short moments.
Later on, overcoming challenges that I encountered in life was what brought me happiness. You see, I started learning the violin. It was extremely hard and I sounded like I was flaying a cat every time I picked it up. My fingers were awkward and the bow slipped off the strings more times than it stayed on. I spent three hours everyday, sawing at my violin. My fingers bruised and my neck ached, but gradually the mistakes lessened and I was making music. Three years later, I was First Chair violinist in the school orchestra. I still remember the pride I had felt when I took my very first bow in front of an applauding audience. Happiness had felt so much sweeter after a hard won success.
When I got older and saw more of the world, I wanted to contribute more. So when most people my age chose to spend the three months before college relaxing, I decided to get a part-time job as a TA at a summer school. I woke up at the crack of dawn, took an hour's bus to the school every day and spent most of the summer vacation sitting in the back of classrooms, grading papers and taking notes on the lecture and tutoring students. It definitely wasn't the most glamorous summer, but it was one of the happiest and most memorable moments of my life. It didn’t just make me happy because it had been my first part-time job. I was happy because I had spent my time doing something worthwhile. I had contributed in my own way, and the children were going to do better in school in the coming year.
Over the years, I’ve had my fair share of cuts and bruises, but the scars left behind are the testimony of my own unique experiences and the fulfilling life that I want to pursue. Our time is limited and I want to experience as much as life can offer. My happiness comes from living an exciting and worthy life, true to myself and true to the world.
If personal happiness were a self portrait, then each day would be a stroke of the brush, each experience a splash of vivid paint. And when we are old, we can look back upon our life and the dots will connect, every brush of color will come together and reveal a life worth living and a person worth being.

With the development of science and technology, change has penetrated into every aspect of our daily life. To illustrate that, I’d like to make a comparison of these two seemingly insignificant things: milkman and mailman, whose differences indicate our changing way of living with the times.
Home milk delivery has almost gone extinct in China now, also gone with it are the milkmen, who once delivered bottled fresh milk door-to-door. On the other hand, mailman’s business or the courier service has thrived as online shopping gains popularity. However, in retrospect, I find something has been lost in this transition, something Shakespeare called as “the milk of human kindness”.
When I was a kid, milk wasn’t for sale everywhere. For the families who need it, they depended on the milkmen to take it from the local dairy farms to their houses. In our neighborhood, there was such a milkman, whose arrival was much anticipated by the children and always brought us laughter and joy. He knew the name of every kid and could easily see through our tricks. If we didn’t behave, he would side with our parents and threaten to rob us of the nutritious drink. The entire neighborhood was acquainted with him; saw him as a member of the community just like the many residents or street vendors. There was a bond between all of us for it was not only the commodities that been transacted, but also a sense of caring and dependability. And that small box fixed onto our door, other than being a drop-off point for milk; it was a communication junction between the people as we took the initiative to reach out to others.
Fast forward to today, milk is ubiquitous with no dedicated delivery system. But the convenience level of our live has gone up a notch. Almost everything is for sale online, which spares us all the travelling and talking. With a few ready clicks, shopping is done. The rest is left for those speed delivery companies. Usually it’s a grumpy mailman, who reaches us through cell phone, urging everyone to pick up their parcels as soon as possible. And the minute the receipt is signed, we rush back to unpack while the courier dashes to the next destination. There is barely a conversation carried out, nor do we feel the need to talk to such a stranger, who changes from time to time frequently. It seems that people are always in a hurry now, though we have more conveniences, still we run short of time to stop and stare, to speak and share.
Call me an old-timer, but I think the personal touch represented by the milkman is what has been missing in the modern society. William Wordsworth once wrote that “Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers.” Modern technology may have multiplied our possessions or gave us more conveniences, but we run the risk of reducing our values if we lay waste our power of interpersonal relationships.

I remember once my high school teacher invited the whole class to share our dreams with each other. I said, “I want to become an architect in future.” My desk mate said, “I want to be a public speaker.” Interestingly, a year later, he flew abroad to go for architecture, and I went to college majoring in English. And Look who is giving a speech right now.
What I learned from this experience was that, the road we end up taking can be different from our first plans. If we all realize our initial dreams, this world will be full of supermen and princesses. As I grew up, I often hear people say, life is all about making compromise. Your dream may die. You have to come terms with your life.
Well, my mother doesn’t see it that way. She is a kindergarten teacher, but she has a gift in painting. I often said to her, “if you had applied for an art school, you would definitely have made a great painter.” She said, “Yes, I would. But you were born!” “But it’s ok,” she continued, “I love kids. I can see their cuteness and innocence every day. Besides, they love me as well. Plus, I have a son who is about to see Rui Chenggang face to face. My colleagues are going to be so jealous of me. I am happy with who I am and I love my job.”
Sometimes when we are stuck in a rut, we may stop and wonder if life could be better had we taken the other road, and we may regret having lost so much for our stupid decisions. But on the threshold of adulthood, I would rather view my life in a positive light. I believe there is no absolute losing. Even though we seem to have made a compromise with each choice, even though we seem to have wasted a lot of effort with each failure, we are gaining something every step of the way.
Had I not given up my dream to be an architect, I wouldn’t have found my love for English, and I wouldn’t have met my friends, who, in order to boost my confidence before the speech contest, gathered in my dormitory and held a pep rally. I wouldn’t have met my professors who have always been patient with me, even when I couldn’t come up with a satisfying speech for 2 weeks.
And had I not spent the last 2 weeks painfully preparing for the speech contest, I wouldn’t have had a chance to think about this world, to ponder on life and to form a better understanding of myself.
For all my blessings, I owe my life an attitude of gratitude. From time to time I would picture myself working in my own studio, designing a beautiful villa. But I will not regret it, because I’m happy with who I am, and I love what I have.
So ladies and gentlemen, don’t be so obsessed with the other road in your life. The path you chose may not be ideal, but that’s not the end of the world. Fill your heart with gratitude. Break up with your regrets, and fall in love with your dream. Through all the hardships and difficulties, you’ll find that you’ve garnered more than you’ve sacrificed.
The other day my mother called me and said, “When the contest is over, I will give you a reward for your hard work.” I said, “There is no need for another present. I already have my present. ”

With the development of science and technology, change has penetrated into every aspect of our daily life. To illustrate that, I'd like to make a comparison of these two seemingly insignificant things: milkman and mailman, whose differences indicate our changing way of living with the times.
Home milk delivery has almost gone extinct in China now, also gone with it are the milkmen, who once delivered bottled fresh milk door-to-door. On the other hand, mailman's business or the courier service has thrived as online shopping gains popularity. However, in retrospect, I find something has been lost in this transition, something Shakespeare called as “the milk of human kindness”.
When I was a kid, milk wasn't for sale everywhere. For the families who need it, they depended on the milkmen to take it from the local dairy farms to their houses. In our neighborhood, there was such a milkman, whose arrival was much anticipated by the children and always brought us laughter and joy. He knew the name of every kid and could easily see through our tricks. If we didn't behave, he would side with our parents and threaten to rob us of the nutritious drink. The entire neighborhood was acquainted with him; saw him as a member of the community just like the many residents or street vendors. There was a bond between all of us for it was not only the commodities that been transacted, but also a sense of caring and dependability. And that small box fixed onto our door, other than being a drop-off point for milk; it was a communication junction between the people as we took the initiative to reach out to others.
Fast forward to today, milk is ubiquitous with no dedicated delivery system. But the convenience level of our live has gone up a notch. Almost everything is for sale online, which spares us all the travelling and talking. With a few ready clicks, shopping is done. The rest is left for those speed delivery companies. Usually it's a grumpy mailman, who reaches us through cell phone, urging everyone to pick up their parcels as soon as possible. And the minute the receipt is signed, we rush back to unpack while the courier dashes to the next destination. There is barely a conversation carried out, nor do we feel the need to talk to such a stranger, who changes from time to time frequently. It seems that people are always in a hurry now, though we have more conveniences, still we run short of time to stop and stare, to speak and share.
Call me an old-timer, but I think the personal touch represented by the milkman is what has been missing in the modern society. William Wordsworth once wrote that “Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers.” Modern technology may have multiplied our possessions or gave us more conveniences, but we run the risk of reducing our values if we lay waste our power of interpersonal relationships.

When the breeze gently hold when LiuXu savoury, When the sun put it golden glorious quietly around the cherry blossom trees on appered handsome; When the beautiful petals in the air to reach several commonly roll long, then gently landed, we are enjoying a brilliant happineof campus life.
Early morning, happy bird singing, accompany us go strollw floral path and watched the we walked into the campus, eye is full of happiness. Sunshine shop in writing has "e, nanjing normal university affiliated yangzi dickers" e, The bronze medal and put downy light reflection to our body, we cheerfully accepted this light, vigorous entered in campus. On the way to the classroom, and every day that we can all see beautiful fountain and pool, and forceful huaihe books and rather ?
The most successful person may not be the smartest ones.According to a survey conducted among a group of people who were in the same university ten years ago , those whose grade-point average was in the middle fifty percent , all become rich or managers of different fields , while not a single young man of the upper ten percent becomes an executive or boss. Why the smartest kids in the classwill not end up the richest? Why those who are not excellent in studies tend to be managers or own their own enterprise in their later life? And what factors lead to succein career and life if brains are not the only answer? According to my observation , academic brightneis only part of the story , the other factors are very important. One ingredient , among other things , is good interpersonal skills. There is stong evidence that friendship can help to tide you over a period of difficulty.
With a wide circle of friends who can be trusted yo provide information and resources, your chances of succeare much higher. On the cntrary , if you are competent in profession , but have difficulty in getting along with your colleagues and even your boss, you can hardly survive the corporation. Another component is the ability to expreoneself . In today s world , what really counts is the ability to expreoneself rather than technical competence or professional knowledge . The larger the orgnization of which you are an employee , and th fiercer the competition , the more important it will be that you know how to convey your thoughts and convince others of your ideas. Personality is also an important factor. Whatever difficulty or situation , those who appear relaxed and confident are nearer to success. Obviously , among the ingredients for succe, intelligence counts for the half , the rest depends on your personality , and other abilities.

Today I am very glad to be here to share with you my ideas of success. What is success? It is what everyone is longing for.Sometimes success would be rather simple. Winning a game is success; getting a high grade in the exam is success; making a new friend is success; even now I am
standing here giving my speech is somehow also success.
However, as a person’s whole life is concerned, success becomes very
complicated. Is fortune success? Is fame success? Is high social status success? No, I don’t think so. I believe success is the realization of people’s hopes and ideals.Nowadays, in the modern society there are many people
who are regarded as the successful. And the most obvious characteristics of hem are money, high position and luxurious life. So most people believe that s success and all that they do is for this purpose. But the problem is wether it is real success. We all know there are always more money, higher position and better condition in front of us. If we keep chasing them, where is the end? What will satisfy us at last? Therefore, we can see, to get the real Success we must need something inside, which is the realization ofpeople’ hopes and ideals.
Different people have different ideas about success; cause people’s hopes and ideas vary from one another. But I am sure every success is dear to everybody, cause it is not easy to come by, cause in the process of our striving for success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightened by the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and sense of responsibility. These are the best treasures. So now I am very proud that I have this opportunity to stand here speaking to all of you. It is my success, cause I raise up to challenge my hope.
What is success? Everyone has his own interpretation as I do. But I am sure every success leads to an ever-brighter future. So ladies and gentlemen, believe in our hopes, believe in ourselves, we, every one of us, can make a successful life! Wish you all good success!

This is a glass of water, tasteless, right? However if you add sugar, it will taste sweet, but if you add vinegar, it will become bitter. The same is true with our life——the flavor is created by our choices.
If kindness is added to a strange you will have a friend; but if hostility is added, you will have an enemy. If love is added to a pile of red bricks you will have a home, but if hatred is add to those bricks , you will have an concentration camp.
So my dear friends, never complain that life is boring and the world is disappointing. If don’t like the taste of your life, change the ingredients. Three year ago, I weighed more than 100 hundred kilograms which caused
significant embarrassment and frustration in my life. Like always failing my P.E examinations, like always being laughed at by girls, like being terrified to speak in public. It was my grandmother’s encouragement that revived from my passive attitude to become confident in myself. She said “ My dear, if you can’t change you figure, why not treat it as your own style. So I began to cautiously employ the new way of thinking. By choosing to change my outlook on life, I developed the confidence to make a difference and finally I found a totally new world.
So my dear friend, if faith, hope, love, endurance are added to your life, you will find the confidence to conquer your limitation and embrace new challenges. And hopefully with my speech included, you will have a fantastic speech contest.

“What would you do if you had only one day left to live?”
I asked this question to my young students when teaching English this winter. What were their answers?
“I would watch television!” the first answer. “I would play with the computer!” the second one. “I would play with computer TOO.” The girl finished her sentence perfectly with a serious smile. Indeed how cute and innocent that smile was, but how seriously my heart was hurt. I was too frightened to listen to more answers like that.
Ten years ago, at their age, I had a different answer: I would spend the last day of my life gazing at the face of my dear grandmother until I inscribed every detail of it onto my mind.
When grandmother was getting old and weak, my family bought her a telephone so I could save time and the trouble of traveling to her home by making phone calls instead. Later we bought her a television so she could watch modern dramas by herself. Then grandma must have been, we assumed, very contented and happy.
But I never really knew how grandma felt. She silently passed away without a word one night. When I heard about her death, a chilling pain pierced my empty heart. The pain grew even sharper as I tried to remember in detail exactly how grandma looked and I failed completely! How could I remember? I had not visited her for ages—it seemed like a century! My memories of her dissolved into thin air and leaked away like water.
Even though I have a telephone, can she hear me now?
Even though I might be on television, can she see me now?
Even though I have modern telecommunications, can she still communicate with me now?
With all these “tele”s, I was powerless.
Don't people just love the word of “tele”, which means far away. Indeed this is how modern technology has changed our world. But please don't forget this other word with “tele”: telepathy: which refers to human beings' inborn ability to connect to our loved ones. Our minds are supposed to read each other's minds; our hearts are supposed to feel each other's hearts — and fulfill these without any forms of tool!
But the moment I desperately struggled to remember grandmother's face, the telepathy between her and me had shut down forever. With the help of modern technology, I killed our telepathy.
This shall never happen again! The “tele”s are great inventions. But “telepathy” gives them the warmth of a human face. Let's harness the power of television to excite our kids to develop their telepathy with nature… so that they can read the secret language of flowers. Let's make the telephone lines provoke us to preserve our telepathy with each other, so we can connect in a warm and feeling way. Let technology keep our “telepathy” ALIVE! We need to wake up and make this happen.
I told my grandma's story to those young kids that day. They got very quiet. They asked me for a second chance to answer the question. They had come to a new understanding – that very moment they had made to me and to our future together, a dear promise.
Thank you very much!
