2.英语比赛演讲稿 篇1
Long long ago, in a land far away, there lived a beautiful young girl.
She was very sad. Because her mother had died and her father had married again. His new wife had two ugly daughters, Esmerelda and Griselda
Soon after, her father also died and life immediately（立即） changed for the girl.
"You will be our servant（仆人）, "said her stepmother（继母）. "You will do everything we say."
"You must sleep in the kitchens." said the stepsisters.
There she had to do hard work from morning until evening, get up before daybreak（黎明）, carry water, make the fires, cook, and wash. Besides（除了） this, the sisters did everything imaginable（可以想象） to hurt her. They made fun of her. In the evening when she had worked herself weary（厌倦）, there was no bed for her. Instead she had to sleep by the hearth in the ashes（灰）. And because she always looked dusty（尘土飞扬） and dirty, they called her Cinderella.
"There are cinders（煤渣） all over your clothes!" exclaimed（喊叫） the stepmother. " Cinderella. Thats your new name. Clear these things away, Cinderella."
"Cinderella! Cinderella!" Esmerelda and Griselda said. "Oh, how clever you are, Mama!"
One day, an invitation（邀请） arrived from the palace.
"Girls, listen to this," said the stepmother. Cinderella was serving（准备） the breakfast. She listened as her stepmother read the invitation.
"The King is having a ball," she said excitedly（兴奋）. "He is looking for a wife for the Prince! Oh, my dears, this is wonderful. He will probably choose one of you, but it will be such a hard choice to make.
"Am I invited too, stepmother?" asked Cinderella.
"You! Certainly（当然） not!" exclaimed（惊呼） her stepmother. "The thought of such a thing. A scruffy servant（破旧的仆人） going to a ball, when only beautiful ladies are invited!"
"Hah! Hah!" laughed the stepsisters. "Beautiful! That doesnt include you, Cinderella!"
"You may help my two lovely girls to get ready," said her stepmother.
"Oh," said Cinderella
"We shall all have new dresses, girls, and we shall go shopping today. Clear away these things, Cinderella."
Oh, I wish I could go to the ball, thought（认为） Cinderella.
The day of the ball arrived and the whole day was spent preparing Esmerelda and Griselda. Cinderella did her best to make the sisters look pretty, but it was an impossible task.
Finally, the coach arrived to collect the girls and their mother.
Cinderella was very tired and she wandered back to the kitchens.
"Oh, I did so want to go," she sighed（叹气） as she sat down by the fire.
"Whats to stop you?" asked a voice（声音）.
"Whos that?" asked Cinderella, looking around.
"Im here by the door." A strange woman walked up to Cinderella. "I heard you the other day, wishing you could go to the ball. Well, the ball is this evening, and youre going."
"But how?" asked Cinderella. "What can you do?"
"Anything I want to," said the woman. "Im your fairy（仙女） godmother, and Im here to send you to the ball.
She sat down.
"Come now," she said. "Dry those tears（擦干眼泪）. We have work to do. I need a large pumpkin（南瓜）, two mice（老鼠） and a frog. Can you find these?"
"Yes," said Cinderella, mystified（迷惑） by the request（请求）.
"Off you go, then."
When Cinderella found all the things, her fairy godmother took them all outside.
"Now for the magic," she said. She waved（挥舞） her hands and the air began to twinkle（闪烁） and sparkle（闪光）. The pumpkin began to grow and change, until standing there was a coach.
The mice changed into two fine footmen（步兵）, the frog into the driver, and the rats（老鼠） into two beautiful horses to pull the coach.
Cinderella clapped（拍） her hands. "Its beautiful!" she cried.
"In you get," said her fairy godmother.
"But I cant go like this," said Cinderella.
"Like what?" asked the fairy godmother. "You look lovely to me."
Cinderella looked at herself. While the magic had been working on the pumpkin, it had also been working on her. Instead of her ragged（破烂） dress she wore a beautiful ball gown（晚礼服）, with glass slippers（玻璃鞋） on her feet.
"Oh, fairy godmother," said Cinderella. "Its lovely. How can I thank you?"
"By going to the ball," said the fairy godmother. "Off you go, but remember, the magic stops working at midnight（午夜）. Everything will change back then. Now go and enjoy yourself."
"Good-bye, fairy godmother," called Cinderella, as the coach swept off.
Cinderella arrived at the palace（皇宫） and walked into the ballroom. Everyone stopped and stared（看着）.
"Who is she?" people asked, including her stepmother and stepsisters.
The Prince saw her, and had eyes for no one else for the rest of the evening. Cinderella danced only with the Prince（王子）, and as the evening passed, he fell in love with her.
A clock chiming（报时） reminded Cinderella of her fairy godmothers warning（警告）. It must be eleven oclock, she thought（告知）, but she asked the Prince. "What time is it?"
"Almost midnight," he answered.
"Oh, no!" cried Cinderella. "I must go!"
"You cant. Not now," said the Prince.
"I must." And Cinderella swept out of the room, and ran out of the palace. As she ran, the clock finished chiming. Cinderellas clothes changed back into rags（破布）, and the coach and horses were nowhere to be seen.
The Prince tried to follow, but he couldnt catch up. When he reached（走到） the door, all he found was one glass slipper. He ran to the main door.
"Was a beautiful girl just driven（赶） out of here?" he asked the guard（士兵）.
"No, your Highness. Ive only seen a scruffy servant（邋遢的仆人） girl," the guard answered.
"Ive lost her," said the Prince, and he returned sadly to the palace.
The next morning, Cinderellas stepmother and stepsisters were talking about the ball.
The Prince meanwhile（同时） decided to look for the mysterious（神秘） girl he had fallen in love with. He issued（发表） a proclamation（公告）. "Whoever the glass shoe fits（合适）, shall be wife to the Prince."
The Prince and his footman（仆人） went from house to house of all the ladies invited to the ball.
He finally arrived at the stepmothers house.
"Its my shoe!" cried Esmerelda, trying desperately（穿） to pull the shoe on.
"Please, miss!" said the footman. "Your foot is too big. you will break the slipper（玻璃鞋）."
Griselda tried the shoe, but her toes were far too long.
"Is there anyone else?" asked the Prince.
"Theres only Cinderella, the maid（女仆）," said the stepmother. "But she wasnt even at the ball."
"All the ladies in the kingdom（王国） must try the slipper," said the footman.
Cinderella was called from the kitchen. Esmerelda and Griselda laughed when they saw how dirty she was. But their laughter turned to tears when they saw Cinderellas foot slide easily into the slipper.
"Oh!" they cried. "It fits!"
The Prince looked at Cinderella and realised that she was the girl that he had fallen in love with.
Cinderella took the other slipper from her pocket（口袋） and put it on.
The Prince was happy to have found her, and on a bright sunny day, he and Cinderella were married. They lived happily ever after.
很久以前，在一个遥远的地方，住着一个年轻漂亮的姑娘。
她很伤心。因为她的母亲已经去世，她的父亲再次结婚。他的新妻子有两个丑陋的女儿，Esmerelda和Griselda
不久之后，她的父亲也死了，生活马上（立即）为女孩改变。
“你将是我们的仆人（仆人），说：”她的继母（继母）。 “你会做的一切，我们说的。”
“你必须睡在厨房。”姐姐说。
在那里，她不得不从早晨到晚上做艰苦的工作，天亮前起床（黎明），提水，生火，做饭，洗。除了（除了）这一点，姐妹们做的一切都是想象（可以想象）伤害她。他们把她的乐趣。在黄昏时，她曾自己疲惫（厌倦），没有床，等着她。相反，她不得不睡在骨灰由（灰）炉边。而且因为她总是看着尘土飞扬（尘土飞扬）和脏了，他们叫她灰姑娘。
“有渣（煤渣）在你的衣服！”惊呼（喊叫）的继母。 “灰姑娘。这就是你的新名称。清除这些东西拿走，灰姑娘”。
“灰姑娘！灰姑娘！” Esmerelda和Griselda说。 “哦，你真聪明，妈妈！”
有一天，邀请（邀请）刚从皇宫。
“女孩，听这个，说：”继母。灰姑娘服务（准备）的早餐。她听着她的继母读了邀请。
“国王是有一个球，”她兴奋地说（兴奋）。 “他的是一个王子的妻子看，噢，亲爱的，这是美妙的。他可能会选择一个你，但会这样艰难的抉择。
“我邀请过，继母？”问灰姑娘。
“你！当然（当然）不！”惊呼（惊呼）她的继母。 “本以为这样的事情。一个破旧的仆人（破旧的仆人）去一个球，当时只有漂亮的小姐是请！”
“哈！哈！”姐姐笑着说。 “漂亮！这还不包括对自己的女儿！”
“你可以帮助我的两个可爱的女孩准备好，”她的继母。
“哦，”灰姑娘
“我们都应有新衣服，女孩，我们将今天去购物。清除这些东西，灰姑娘”。
噢，我希望我能去参加舞会，思想（认为）灰姑娘。
球的一天到了，花了一整天的准备Esmerelda和Griselda。灰姑娘也使她的最好的姐妹好看，但它是一个不可能完成的任务。
最后，教练抵达收集的女孩和他们的母亲。
灰姑娘非常疲惫，她在街上转悠回到厨房。
“噢，我这样做是不想去，”她叹了口气（叹气），她坐在火炉边下来。
“什么来阻止你？”问了一个声音（声音）。
“是谁？”问灰姑娘，四处张望。
“我的门了。”一个陌生的女人走到灰姑娘。 “我听说你有一天，希望你能去参加舞会。好了，今天晚上的球，而你去。”
“怎么会呢？”问灰姑娘。 “你可以做什么？”
“只要我想，”那个女人说。 “我是你的童话（仙女）教母，我是来送你到球。
她坐了下来。
“来吧，”她说。 “擦干眼泪（擦干眼泪）。我们有工作要做。我需要一个大南瓜（南瓜），两只老鼠（老鼠）和一只青蛙。你能找到这些？”
“是的，”灰姑娘，迷惑的请求（请求）（迷惑）。
“关你去，然后。”
当灰姑娘发现所有的事情，她的仙女教母，把他们全部外面。
“现在的魔力，”她说。她挥手（挥舞）她的手和空气开始闪烁（闪烁）和闪光（闪光）。南瓜开始成长和改变，直到站在那里是一个教练。
罚款分为两个步兵（步兵），青蛙变成了驱动程序的小鼠，并分为两个漂亮的马鼠（老鼠）拉的教练。
灰姑娘拍手（拍）她的手。 “它真美！”她哭了。
“在你得到的，”她的仙女教母。
“但我不能再这样下去，说：”灰姑娘。
“像什么？”问仙女教母。 “你看上去可爱极了我。”
灰姑娘看着自己。虽然魔术已经就南瓜工作，它也一直在研究她。而不是她的衣衫褴褛（破烂）裙子，她穿了漂亮的球礼服（晚礼服），与她的脚玻璃拖鞋（玻璃鞋）。
“哦，仙女教母，说：”灰姑娘。 “这是可爱。我该如何感谢你呢？”
“通过进入球”之称的仙女教母。 “关你去，但要记住，神奇的停在午夜（午夜）工作。一切都将改变当时的情况。现在去欣赏自己。”
“再见，神仙教母，”叫灰姑娘，作为教练席卷了。
灰姑娘来到宫（皇宫），进入舞厅走去。每个人都停下来，盯着（看着）。
“她是谁？”有人问，包括她的继母和姐姐。
王子看到她，并为不为别的，晚上休息一的眼睛。灰姑娘与王子跳舞只（王子），并作为传递的晚上，他爱上了她。
一个时钟报时（报时）提醒她的仙女教母的警告（警告）灰姑娘。 这必须是十一时，她的思想（告知），但她问便知。 “现在是什么时候？”
“几乎午夜，”他回答。
“噢，不！”哭了灰姑娘。 “我必须去！”
“你不能。不是现在，”王子说。
“我绝”。和灰姑娘席卷了房间，跑出来的宫殿。当她跑了，时钟结束钟声。灰姑娘的衣服变回成破布（破布），而教练和马都无处可看。
王子试图跟随，但他却无法赶上。当他到达（走到）门，他所发现的是一水晶鞋。他跑到大门。
“是一个美丽的女孩只是驱动（赶）离开这里？”他要求后卫（士兵）。
“不，殿下。我只看到了邋遢的仆人（邋遢的仆人）的女孩，”门卫回答。
“我已经失去了她，”王子说，他伤心地回到了皇宫。
第二天早上，灰姑娘的继母和姐姐们都在谈论球。
王子同时（同时）决定寻找神秘（神秘）女孩，他已经爱上了。他发表（发表）的公告（公告）。 “谁的玻璃鞋适合（合适），应当对王子的妻子。”

“这是我的鞋！”哭Esmerelda，拼命（穿）鞋上拉。
“请，小姐！”仆人说，。 “你的脚太大。您将打破拖鞋（玻璃鞋）。”
Griselda试了鞋子，但她的脚趾太长。
“还有其他人吗？”王子问。
“只有灰姑娘，女仆（女仆）”之称的继母。 “但是她甚至在球没有。”
“所有在国（王国）女士们必须设法拖鞋，说：”听差。
灰姑娘被称为从厨房。 Esmerelda和Griselda笑了，他们看到她有多脏。但是，他们的笑声变成了眼泪，当他们看到灰姑娘到拖鞋的脚滑容易。
“哦！”他们喊着。 “它适合！”
王子看着灰姑娘，并意识到她是他已经爱上了女孩。
灰姑娘从她的口袋里了（口袋）其他拖鞋，穿上它。

“Diane, can you speak a little louder, please?” That’s what my teacher said to me on the first day of school. I almost burst into tears as so many students turned to watch me sitting down in the corner that belonged to me. After school, my teacher found me, smiling, she said: “You don’t have to be afraid of anyone. People just want to know about you so the next time just let them hear what you have to say. After so many years, I am still a shy person as I was fifteen years ago but the difference is I am not any more afraid of letting people know about me, hear about my ideas.
People, as we are, are never isolated individuals. We all live on the planet where lives all the other people as well. So keeping oneself excluded would never work, or else we would always be trapped in that little corner of ours. We have to step into the world as we are in fact part of it.
I’ve always remembered what Simba said to her daughter: we are one. So what’s to be afraid of? Since human beings are virtually linked souls. Just tell others what we really think, how we really feel. Even if we do have the wrong idea, we will have the chance to correct our mistakes. And if we don’t, it’s all right.
But if we never spoke our mind, we will never know what we are missing out in this world. We will never know what we can actually make of ourselves. And we will never know what is needed to live a life with other people. When there is giving, there is receiving. That’s how the communication circle works. We are all very blessed to have so many people hear our voice. So don’t refuse the blessing for life is based on it. Just remember when the world knows more about us, we know more about the world.
So today, can you hear my voice?"

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!

Honorable Judges, Ladies and gentlemen, Fellow students, good morning/afternoon:
I’m very glad to be here. my name is wangqihang.
I’m ten years old. I come from Huanxi Primary school. I’m in class 3, grade 5.As a happy boy，I have many hobbies, such as sports, playing piano, singing, and drawing.Among them, travel is my favorist one. I have visited some other cities, like Beijing, Hainan, chongqing, guangxi, Qindao, dalian and so on.Everywhere I went, I enjoyed the natural scenery and appreciated the human landscape very much.
Not only that, I want to go abroad to take in the beauty of the custom of other countries in the future.And I even dream about what the life will be when we are on planets other than our Earth.That is why I’m so interested in the following scientific report recently.
Cherish what we are enjoying.It is a report about the new planet which holds possibility for life.It shows that European astronomers have discovered a new planet, they name it gliese 581 c.It is about 20.5 light years from our earth. They estimated the planet's average temperature at between 0 and 40 degrees centigrade. It is orbiting the red dwarf star, gliese 581.Most important of all, it’s an earth-like planet. There might be mountin, sea and liquid water.So the astronomers believe that it is potentially habitable.
However, gliese 581 c might be "tidally locked" to it’s sun-the dwarf star the way our moon is to the Earth.It means that it must always show its same face to its sun, and that while one side would be too fiercely hot to support life, the other side would be too cold.This report makes me to realize that how valuable our earth is.Everyday, we can see sunrise and sunset.The day and night keeps on exchanging. It’s not too hot in the daytime while not to cold at night.Everyday, I go to school cheerfully in the morning and skip along at the way home as the sun set.
We could experience changes through the four seasons of one year.Spring is the season sowing seeds. It is pregnant with life and green.
In the Summer, colorful swimming suits frolick in the water happily.Autumn is the harvest season , the paddy fields and trees are covered with golden color.In the winter，we can have snow battle, playing to our hearts' content in the world of silvery white.How fortunate we are because we can live on the earth!we should cherish it, instead of polluting it, spoiling it or even destroying it.If one day, it is really angry and stop rotation, that will have be a disaster for us human being.So, let us protect our earth with our love, making it better and more harmonious.
Ladies and gentlemen, Now let me show you a story about the monkey and the moon.One day,a little monkey is playing by the well.
He looks in the well and shouts :“oh!my god!The moon has fallen into the well!”An older monkeys runs over, takes a look,and says,“goodness me!The moon is really in the water!”And the oldest monkey comes over.He is very surprised as well and cries out:“The moon is in the well.”A group of monkeys run over to the well.They look at the moon in the well and shout:“The moon did fall into the well!come on!Let’s get it out!”Then,the oldest monkey hangs on the tree up side down ,with his feet on the branch .And he pulls the next monkey’s feet with his hands.All the other monkeys follow his suit,And they join each other one by one down to the moon in the well.Just before they reach the moon, the oldest monkey raises his head and happens to see the moon in the sky,He yells excitedly “don’t be so foolish! The moon is still in the sky!”This is the end of the story. do you like it?
Hope you all can remember me, wangqihang, a happy guy like the sunshine.Welcome you to visit my blog asina.Thank you very much.

To me March 28th was a lucky day. It was on that particular evening that I found myself at central stage, in the spotlight. Winning the ”21st Century·Ericsson Cup” Seventh National English Speaking Competition is a memory that I shall treasure and one that will surely stay.
More important than winning the Cup is the friendship that has been established and developed among the contestants, and the chance to communicate offstage in addition to competing onstage. Also the competition helps boost public speaking in China, a skill hitherto undervalued.
For me, though, the competition is a more personal experience. Habitually shy, I had been reluctant to take part in any such activities. Encouraged by my friends, however, I made a last-minute decision to give it a try. In the course of preparation I somehow rediscovered myself, a truer me.
I found that, after all, I like communicating with other people; that exchanging views can be so much fun—and so much rewarding, both emotionally and intellectually; that public speaking is most effective when you are least guarded; and that it is essential to success in every walk of life.
At a more practical level, I realized knowing what you are going to say and how you are going to say it are equally important. To take the original ideas out of your head and transplant them, so to speak, to that of others, you need to have an organized mind. This ability improves with training.
Yet there should not be any loss or addition or distortion in the process. Those ideas that finally find their way into another head need to be recognizably yours. Language is a means to transmit information, not a means to obstruct communication. It should be lucid to be penetrating.
In China, certain public speaking skills have been unduly emphasized. Will it really help, we are compelled to ask, to bang at the podium or yell at the top of your lungs, if you have come with a poorly organized speech, a muddled mind, and unwillingness to truly share your views?
Above all, the single most important thing I learnt was that as a public speaker, you need to pay attention, first and foremost, to the content of your speech. And second, the structure of your speech: how one idea relates and progresses to another.
Only after these come delivery and non-verbal communication: speed control, platform manner, and so on. Pronunciation is important, yet of greater importance is this: Is your language competent enough to express your ideas exactly the way you intend them to be understood?
I was informed afterwards that I was chosen to be the winner for my ”appropriately worded speech, excellent presence and quick-witted response”. In so remarking, the judges clearly showed their preference: they come to listen for meaningful ideas, not for loose judgments, nor easy laughters.
Some contestants failed to address their questions head on. Some were able to, but did not know where to stop—the dragging on betrayed their lack of confidence. The root cause was that they did not listen attentively to the questions. Or they were thinking of what they had prepared.
As I said in my speech, ”It is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking ... to take them [issues like globalization] on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way”. We need to respond honestly.
A competition like this draws talented students from all over the country. And of course, I learnt more things than just about public speaking. Since in the final analysis, public speaking is all about effective communication. And this goes true for all communications, whatever their setting.
And the following is the final version of my speech:
GLOBALIZATION: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES FOR CHINA'S YOUNGER GENERATION
Thirty years ago, American President Richard Nixon made an epoch-making visit to China, a country still isolated at that time. Premier Zhou Enlai said to him, ”Your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world—twenty-five years of no communication”. Thirty years since, China and America have exchanged many handshakes. The fundamental implication of this example is that the need to communicate across differences in culture and ideology is not only felt by the two countries but by many other nations as well.
As we can see today, environmentalists from different countries are making joint efforts to address the issue of global warming, economists are seeking solutions to financial crises that rage in a particular region but nonetheless cripple the world economy, and politicians and diplomats are getting together to discuss the issue of combating terrorism. Peace and prosperity has become a common goal that we are striving for all over the world. Underlying this mighty trend of global communication is the echo of E. M. Forster's words ”Only connect!”
With the IT revolution, traditional boundaries of human society fall away. Our culture, politics, society and commerce are being sloshed into one large melting pot of humanity. In this interlinked world, there are no outsiders, for a disturbance in one place is likely to impact other parts of the globe. We have begun to realize that a world divided cannot endure.
China is now actively integrating into the world. Our recent entry to the WTO is a good example. For decades, we have taken pride in being self-reliant, but now we realize the importance of participating in and contributing to a broader economic order. From a precarious role in the world arena to our present WTO membership, we have come a long way.
But what does the way ahead look like? In some parts of the world people are demonstrating against globalization. Are they justified, then, in criticizing the globalizing world? Instead of narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, they say, globalization enables the developed nations to swallow the developing nations' wealth in debts and interest. Globalization, they argue, should be about a common interest in every other nation's economic health.
We are reminded by Karl Marx that capital goes beyond national borders and eludes control from any other entity. This has become a reality. Multinational corporations are seeking the lowest cost, the largest market, and the most favourable policy. They are often powerful lobbyists in government decision-making, ruthless expansionists in the global market and a devastating presence to local businesses.
For China, still more challenges exist. How are we going to ensure a smooth transition from the planned economy to a market-based one? How to construct a legal system that is sound enough and broad enough to respond to the needs of a dynamic society? How to maintain our cultural identity in an increasingly homogeneous world? And how to define greatness in our rise as a peace-loving nation? Globalization entails questions that concern us all.
Like many young people my age in China, I want to see my country get prosperous and enjoy respect in the international community. But it seems to me that mere patriotism is not just enough. It is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking and broaden our mind to bigger issues. There might never be easy answers to those issues such as globalization, but to take them on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way. This is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech.

Good evening.Ladies and gentlemen:
I am honour to stand here to deliver my speech .And my topic today is about future. As we all know, mans life is a process of growing up, actually Im standing here is a growth. If a persons life must constituted by various choices, then I grow up along with these choices. Once I hope I can study in a college in future, however thats passed, as you know I come here, now I wonder what the future holds for me.
When I come to this school, I told to myself: this my near future, all starts here. Following I will learn to become a man, a integrated man, who has a fine body, can take on important task, has independent thought, an open mind, intensive thought, has the ability to judge right and wrong, has a perfect job. Once my teacher said :” you are not sewing, you are stylist; never forget which you should lay out to people is your thought, not craft.” I will put my personality with my interest and ability into my study, during these process I will combine learning with doing. If I can achieve this “future”, I think that I really grow up. And I deeply believe kindred, good-fellowship and love will perfection and happy in the future.
How to say futureMaybe its a nice wish. Lets makeuourminds, stick to it and surely well enjoy our life.

英文歌曲比赛的完美收官，标志着本学期的英语文化节基本告一段落。回顾我们几个月以来的工作，从“影响工大”到“英文歌曲大赛”，我们一起为之努力，也取得了较为不错的成绩，激发了大家对英语学习的兴趣，在全校范围内取得了很好的反响。
本次英文歌曲大赛，在节目形式上和选手表现水平上较之上届都有所提高，晚会的.整体效果达到了预期的要求，这和我们所有人的努力是分不开的。但是，有一些问题也是需要我们注意的。可能是经过一系列的活动，大家对工作都产生了一些倦怠，少了刚开始的那份激情。我们不光要完成自己分内的事情，对自己力所能及的事也应积极去做。大一的同学今后对待工作应该更加主动，大二的同学既不能什么事都大包大揽，也不能对一切事情都不用心，只有我们共同努力才能把一个活动办好。还有，我们还应有一个正确的对待别人的态度，大家都是在一起学习工作的同学，不能因为你是部长，副部，活动负责人组织者就不以一个平等的心态对待别的同学，对他人要有一个好的态度，而且做事时更要身体力行，主动承担。大一的同学，要有一个谦虚的心态，对不懂的事及时去问，对老师和比自己年级高的有必要的礼貌。
相信经过我们的不断努力，外语学院的活动会越办越好！

Goodafternoon,ladies and gentlemen,
My name is ,coming from school of Chengdu xishu experimental school.I am very glad to give my speech to you here, the topic of my speech is "Just Do It".
"Just do it!"I think everybody is familiar to this sentense about Nike, a very famous company of shoes.
In my opinion, it means that just do it if you want. Today I'm here, just want to do what I want to do, and just have a try.
Just do it if you want.
In fact, we have many things to do in a day, in a year and in all our lives, it depends on your choices .
Just do it if you like.
I was attracted by English on my first sight in primary school. My English teacher always had the class interesting and she has a nice voice,it's comfortable when I heard her singing songs. As the time flew I knew more English songs .
Just do it no matter whether you can be successful.
When I asked others that why they didn't join in the competition, was it the reason that they didn't like English or they had no time. To my surprise, they almost gave me the same answer, "even though I couldn't get a rank in it, I needn't to do that, what's more, I didn't want to lose my face because of failed."I really can't believe that in their dictionary there is only one word 'success'. Although I don’t know whether I can enter the final fighting or not, and maybe I will be out of the competition after this speech, I still come here, just do it, no matter how far I can walk.
So as long as you want and like, just do it by heart, no matter whether you can succeed or be failed.
That's all,
Thank you!
