大学生的英语演讲三分钟范文（精选3篇）
now if all this is true, then why are we getting it so wrong? why are we setting up our schools this way and our workplaces? and why are we making these introverts feel so guilty about wanting to just go off by themselves some of the time? one answer lies deep in our cultural history. western societies, and in particular the u.s., have always favored the man of action over the man of contemplation and “man“ of contemplation. but in america's early days, we lived in what historians call a culture of character, where we still, at that point, valued people for their inner selves and their moral rectitude. and if you look at the self-help books from this era, they all had titles with things like “character, the grandest thing in the world.“ and they featured role models like abraham lincoln who was praised for being modest and unassuming. ralph waldo emerson called him “a man who does not offend by superiority.“
but then we hit the 20th century and we entered a new culture that historians call the culture of personality. what happened is we had evolved an agricultural economy to a world of big business. and so suddenly people are moving from small towns to the cities. and instead of working alongside people they've known all their lives, now they are having to prove themselves in a crowd of strangers. so, quite understandably, qualities like magnetism and charisma suddenly come to seem really important. and sure enough, the self-help books change to meet these new needs and they start to have names like “how to win friends and influence people.“ and they feature as their role models really great salesmen. so that's the world we're living in today. that's our cultural inheritance.
now none of this is to say that social skills are unimportant, and i'm also not calling for the abolishing of teamwork at all. the same religions who send their sages off to lonely mountain tops also teach us love and trust. and the problems that we are facing today in fields like science and in economics are so vast and so complex that we are going to need armies of people coming together to solve them working together. but i am saying that the more freedom that we give introverts to be themselves, the more likely that they are to come up with their own unique solutions to these problems.
so now i'd like to share with you what's in my suitcase today. guess what? books. i have a suitcase full of books. here's margaret atwood, “cat's eye.“ here's a novel by milan kundera. and here's “the guide for the perplexed“ by maimonides. but these are not exactly my books. i brought these books with me because they were written by my grandfather's favorite authors.
Today is my two months and two days celebration of working in suntrans.This is my first job, and I am very glad tohave it, and to stand here sharing myfeelings with all of you.
Today my topic is a little bit long, it is,the happy days of my dear littleyoung fellows and me spent together in our companySuntrans. We had numeroushappy days together, and every day is memorable. Itis so long that if I shareevery moment with you, this meeting may last three days or even longer. So inorder to give us time to work, to eat, to go homeand to sleep, I will only sharethree most memorable moments we had together.
The first memorable moment for me was thecompany activity held in May byour human resources Department. We played games together and had a great time.That day was my 25th birthday, but that is not the most important reason whyIremember it so well. Firstly, I learned our company’s history, and felt thatitis very difficult to start a business, and thought that everyone in ourcompanyis very hard working. Secondly, I joined Maple’s team that day,although wealmost lost all of the competitions, everyone was so happy andfriendly and myteam made me understood the meaning of the phrase– “team spirit”。I began tounderstand and like our company after that day’s activity.
The second memorable moment for me was the birthday party held in May. Inever had such a birthday party before, what’s more, my birthday is the samemonth as our General Manager Lu, and I felt very honored and grateful. Ireceived a lot of warm celebration words from all of you and a lovely birthdaycard. I was so moved that day and had the feeling that I am a part of this bigfamily. When I blew off the candles, I made three wishes, firstly, make progressin English, secondly, make progress in Japanese,Thirdly, do my best to become agood translator in Suntrans. I hope my wisheswill come true in the future.
The third memorable mmoment for me was The Second E~perience E~changingForum of Mining Investment 20~~. This is the first time I took part in such abig conference, and I was very e~cited and willing to do something for it. Wedid work very hard for this conference, and even asked the Dragon Boat Festivalto contribute. This conference gave me a great worke~perience and taught me manythings: for e~ample how to do advertising and marketing, and a great knowledgein mining industry.

These are the three most memorable moments for me that I spent with all ofyou in Suntrans, I hope that we can create moreand more in the future.

Development and the Environment
It is undeniable that the worsening environment has become the biggest concern of the present-day world. Land resources are dwindling because of water loss and soil erosion. Waste gases poison the air we breathe. The rivers and lakes are polluted by waste dumped in them from factories. It is probably no exaggeration to say that deterioration of the quality of the environment threatens the existence of mankind itself.
Some people are of the opinion that the environmental problem is the price we have to pay for economic development. But I do not think that this argument is valid. After all, what is the point of economic growth if people's lives are adversely alfected by worsening environmental pollution?
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
There is plenty of evidence to show that sustainable development can be achieved by balancing economic growth with protection of the environment. The key to achieving this is to make people aware of the seriousness of the problem. Both governments and ordinary citizens should join hands to make this world a better place to live in, not only for ourselves, but also for future generations.
