有关人生的英语演讲稿范文（精选32篇）
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 .
I want to be a teacher when I listen to my teacher carefully. I think I can be a teacher when I grow up. I can help many students learn things well. I can play with my students, too. So we are good friends. I want to be a doctor when I see many doctors save their patients. To be a doctor is really great. I think I can be a doctor when I grow up. Then I can help many people out of danger. I will be the happiest girl in the world. I want to be a reporter when I watch TV every evening. We can get lots of important information from them. They make the world smaller and also make us happy. I would like to be a reporter when I grow up. And I can learn a lot about China and the other countries around the world. I can meet many superstars as well. I have lots of dreams. I think my dreams can come true one day, because there’s an old saying “where there is a will, there is a way.”
We all come to the world, but why do some of us make great achievements known forever and why are they remembered forever even though they leave the world? And why do some leave the world without anything valuable to his generation and the people? Every one of us will hope to have a significant and valuable life.
But what kind of life is both significant and valuable? Answers to the questions are If you cherish your value of your own life, you will create something valuable for the world.
Johann Goth said.
The life value should be judged from his contribution rather than his profession.
Einstein said.
Lei Feng, a communist soldier, said, one lives to make others a more beautiful life.
As we all know, Marx is an outstanding and great man.
He founded his brilliant and scientific theory of communism.
The theory guides the ways for the human beings liberation.
Marx said, If we can elect one suitable profession, we wont be demoralized with its pressure, because we make sacrifice for human beings.
Only by this way will we not be addicted to the joy of narrow-minded and individualism.
Our happiness belongs to thousands upon thousands of people.
I see, although it may be unknown, our cause will never be forgot forever.
Even when we depart to God, the kind people will tear down upon our ashes.
When he said these words, he was only 17 years old.
He meant his word with his deeds in his late lifetime period.
After his death, on his 100-birthday anniversary, the proletarian and the revolutionary people of the whole world still cherish the memory of Marx and mourn him respectively.
It is his distinguishingable contribution to the mankind that his life is that significant.
It is his great devotion to the human being that his life value is beyond measure.
We also know that Lu Xun is a man of great.
Without his nobility Fierce-browed, I wooly defy a thousand point fingers, head bowed like a willing ox I serve the children, and without his spirit of his loyalty and devotion to the last for the bright future of the Chinese people, his life would not have been so significant and so great.
Actually, didnt those regarded as essence of human who live forever in the hearts of people make great contributions to the cause of the people? Wouldnt the people remember those whose great achievements for human are recorded in history? We know for certain that not every of us will be a second Marx or Lu Xun.

我是6班，我的名字是某某，我很荣幸在这里讲话，我很高兴能和你分享我的话题，做我们自己的事。
随着社会的发展，越来越多的人迷失了自我，他们不知道自己想做什么，他们不知道自己在做什么，这是多么可怕!
对于我们，我们不能选择出生，我们不能选择我们的父母，我们不能选择我们的出生国，我们不能选择我们的死亡时间，但我们可以选择如何面对我们的生活：幸福或不快乐，积极或消极。什么是重要的，我们应该做什么，我们不应该做什么，我们可以自己决定。不管我们如何选择和决定，所有这些都是由我们做的，所以不要太在意别人怎么看你，只做自己，自己做。
让我们做一颗心吧，让我们活在阳光下，让我们的生活更有意义，做我们想做的事，做我们自己做的事，做我们自己的事。
这是所有的，谢谢你的聆听。
Being polite is a good tradition in our country.Nobody likes a person who is impolite.It 's important for us to be polite.We should be a polite student.
As a polite student,we shouldn't talk at class.If we have questions,we should put up our hands.We also shouldn’t speak loudly during the break.And I think it’s impolite to be late for class.When someone is in trouble ,we shouldn’t laugh at them.We should often say "please","thank you".
If everyone is polite to others,the world will be more and more beautiful.
礼貌在我们的国家是一个很好的传统。没有人喜欢一个人是不礼貌的。对我们来说重要的是礼貌。我们应该礼貌的学生。
作为一个礼貌的学生,我们不应该在课堂上讲话。如果我们有问题,我们应该把我们的手。我们也不应该在课间休息时大声说话。我认为上课迟到是不礼貌的。当有人遇到麻烦时,我们不该嘲笑他们。我们应该经常说“请”,“谢谢”。
如果每个人都对别人有礼貌,世界将变得越来越美丽。
good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
"who can so properly be the inquisitors for the nation as the representatives of the nation themselves?" "the subjects of its jurisdiction are those offenses which proceed from the misconduct of public men." and that's what we're talking about. in other words, [the jurisdiction comes] from the abuse or violation of some public trust.
it is wrong, i suggest, it is a misreading of the constitution for any member here to assert that for a member to vote for an article of impeachment means that that member must be convinced that the president should be removed from office. the constitution doesn't say that. the powers relating to impeachment are an essential check in the hands of the body of the legislature against and upon the encroachments of the executive. the division between the two branches of the legislature, the house and the senate, assigning to the one the right to accuse and to the other the right to judge, the framers of this constitution were very astute. they did not make the accusers and the judgers -- and the judges the same person.
we know the nature of impeachment. we've been talking about it awhile now. it is chiefly designed for the president and his high ministers to somehow be called into account. it is designed to "bridle" the executive if he engages in excesses. "it is designed as a method of national inquest into the conduct of public men." the framers confided in the congress the power if need be, to remove the president in order to strike a delicate balance between a president swollen with power and grown tyrannical, and preservation of the independence of the executive.
the nature of impeachment: a narrowly channeled exception to the separation-of-powers maxim. the federal convention of 1787 said that. it limited impeachment to high crimes and misdemeanors and discounted and opposed the term "maladministration." "it is to be used only for great misdemeanors," so it was said in the north carolina ratification convention. and in the virginia ratification convention: "we do not trust our liberty to a particular branch. we need one branch to check the other."
"no one need be afraid" -- the north carolina ratification convention -- "no one need be afraid that officers who commit oppression will pass with immunity." "prosecutions of impeachments will seldom fail to agitate the passions of the whole community," said hamilton in the federalist papers, number 65. "we divide into parties more or less friendly or inimical to the accused." i do not mean political parties in that sense.
The judges dear colleagues:
Everybody is good!
I believe that not long ago the unit of organization training to everyone left a deep impression that are in high altitude timid to conquer yourself after the joy of encouragement and warm embrace together to complete the project after the excited tears dribs and drabs are so vivid and real stayed in our memory forever. Flow through the sweat and tears we can understand the what?
From the beginning my team is faced with many difficulties: older on average physical quality is bad the heart not neat team such as fragmented... Therefore we wryly his team named "sunset". Still we devote and participation in gradually found that team's weakness overcome difficulties strengthen communication and cooperation at the same time of brave to challenge themselves a concerted effort to complete each project.
In big bully game our feet together formed the containment the players have different walking speed bad grasp rhythm we walked so hard. Any error the team cannot be further. Us against each other from the original suspicion eventually realized that to complete the project the heart want to go to one place time to go to one place. We try to roll up the arm to form a whole we shouted rhythm slowly have the tacit understanding try to be consistent pace although difficult but insist on comes to an end. In our understanding expand training for first as long as everyone in the team to be able to devote to complete each project has been a great success!
And escape the walls of the project is completed let me see the potential of everyone in the group of excitation and a collective work need the tacit understanding and sacrifice. Initially for all 70 individuals in the case of can't talk to climb over 4 meters high wall of escape 2 I was skeptical I think even a person to climb this wall is impossible. When have I the idea of people may not be in the minority. In the hesitation we according to the coach teaching method into action but because the teams who violated the rules not only to stop by the coach also let the chief generation we are being punished. The drizzle our mood become very heavy involuntarily shed a tear. Second everyone seemed to have the tacit understanding pull up a ladder and protective wall and do you remember the rules no longer talk clapping laughing concentrate on what we want to do together act quickly. First up 10 best efforts of the colleagues below build a ladder with colleagues endured the pain of shoulder and legs everyone in the mind only one idea: we took a ship to sink must help all players within the given time climb walls to escape!
This process the prism is sacrifice and cooperate. A team must be someone in silently sacrifice but the pay all the players look in the eyes in mind. Individual's success is not the success of the team only a smooth over all is the real victory so we must put our heads together in the most efficient the most appropriate way to the end of the day a colleague over the past to this end everyone to his own effort. After the completion of the project the coach announced we took only a quarter of the time at that moment everybody finally tasted the joy of victory.
From training I also realized that each person all the time since birth not grow in the team oneself is a member of the collective the first thing to give full play to their potential trying to do their work to strengthen coordination play to their ability to innovate. Second the development of the team is the real development. Encounter a problem must focus on the wisdom of the whole team to form a unified plan then according to the plan implementation adjustment method and strategy in time to be the best. Third will not give up speaking out of turn strengthen the courage and perseverance believe you can do it. The fourth is to learn the perspective-taking standing in the other person's point of view for others change an Angle to think more understanding and more caring.
In our successful challenge behind each project from beginning to end is the common effort of all our players. We are a whole only trust each other support each other make oneself should do a good job in every step of the way can our collective into a rich combat effectiveness the execution of the team.
Through this training activities let I to team consciousness and personal role in the team feeling to the deep. If from the activities of the comprehension to the reasonable use of in the future work we believe that our tomorrow will be better our team will be more powerful and perfect!
As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation.Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night,it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control can it lead to poor performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact, we make a choice between "flight or fight"and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death.The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.
good evening , ladies and gentlemen . i am joy and glad to give you aspeech about stress , yes , just the topic you see on the screen.
psychologist tell us that stress is a state of worry caused by the problemof living , such as too much work or study , heavy responsibilities , andquickened pace of life .
statistics show that stress comes from every detail in our life . financialproblems , poor health , being laid off may be the stress that most adults nowsuffering . as students in the university , we are also under our special stress. while study , having to take various tests and submit a project against adeadline may put a great pressure on us . and the things make us felt stressedmay be our parents’s greater expectations on us than we could reach . later ,when we are likely to graduate , some other problems will also annoy us . ithink we will worry a lot about our ability to compete in the job market and howwe can best use what we’ve learned at college in our future job .
the chief problem we should face to is our atitude towards stress .peopleusually say they can not live in the sun except they escape from stress . it’sunwelcome ! yes , however , very necessary . just image a world where stressdoes not exist and people lead their life in a very comfortable way . but isthis kind of living condition as perfect as we hope ? without stress , they mayfeel very satisfied with the current life but lack of power to discover newthings . too much satisfaction result in nothing except a countermarch of thesociety . no stress , no development . so a certain amount of stress is good .it can stimulate us and increase our level of alertness .
and our answer to stress is another vital problem . how to do withourselves when stress suddenly break into our life ? to wave the white flag andadmit our unability , to give up to our ideality , or worstly , just to suicideas to put an end to everything … of cause not . the principle is to tackle withstress gentlely and harmoniously. we should try our best to release ourselves .such as to do some exercise , to linsen to traditional chinese music orclassical music to ease our minds and to learn to view these changes of life aschallenges .it’s no use crying over spilt milk . only to accept what hashappened can solve the problem .
ok , i think i was under large stress 3 minutes before , but now i am hereand have finished my speech . here is the last thing i want to add to my topic,face to it英语演讲稿范文2
istinguished judges, teachers, dear friends:
Hello, everyone! My name is cheng xiang yan , I am a junior student comefrom life science institution .Today, I am very glad to stand here and sharewith you my most sincere speech‘Flying youth, master our future!’
Life is a process of growing up. Saying goodbye to childhood, we step intoanother important time of life in the pace of young, facing new situations,dealing with different problems.....
However, who can really say what the youth is ? A period of time? Abelief?An attitude to life? Or anything else? actually, everyone has hisownunderstanding of young, it is a period of time of beauty and wonders, onlyafter you have experienced the sour , sweet ,bitter and salty, can you reallybecome a person of significance.
Just like A famous poet said ‘ youth is a lovely song ,where nothing isimpossible ,youth is a meaningful book, you’ll be never bored of it ;youth is arapid river ,it keeps on flowing day and night ;youth is a cup of tea ,it showsyou different kinds of tastes in your life.
As youth is so precious, of course, we must treasure it .Don’t let thelimited time pass by, grasping the young will means a better time is waiting foryou in the near future.
So,It’s necessary for us to prepare ourselves well for the future to come.having a view on those great men in the history of hunman being, they all madefull use of their youth time to do things that are useful to society, to thewhole mankind, and as a consequence ,they are remembered by later generations,admired by everyone. so do something in the time of young, although you may notget achievements as these greatmen did ,though not for the whole world, just foryoueself, for those around! So, what should we do when we are young? Here,I’llpoint out some tips to help equip ourselves.
First of all,think of what you’d like to be some day. A teacher ? A doctor? A writer? Don’t afraid of dreaming of big and great .Since you are young , youcan dream of doing anything and becoming anyone in the future. What’s more ,never ignore the power of knowledge. Read more books and travel around. For onething, it can increase your knowledge, for another, it’ll broaden yourhorizon.
Last but not the least , stick to your dream. It easier said than done.After all, future is not all roses. young is just like blooming flowers, theyare so beautiful when blooming, which make people feel happy, but with timepassing by, after they withers ,most people think they are ugly. and so it isthe same with young, we are enthusiastic when we are young, then we may lose ourpassion when getting older and older. So we should have enough courage anddetermination to overcome all the difficulties in struggling on the road.
I firmly believe one sentence that‘If you think you can, of course youcan!’Just believe we can make it! Keep on walking towards our dream. Flyingyouth , master our future. From today, from now on , are you Ready ? That’s all.Thank you so much for your attention !
The ideal teacher may be young or old, tall or short, fat or thin. He should kno them. The ideal teacher should have an understanding of his students and be able tp relate to them. HE needs students’ understanding, too. The ideal teacher should be kind, encouraging, and helpful and he should motivate his students to seek knowledge. The ideal teacher should see his students as individuals and acknowledge their differences.
He must know how to encourage the self-development and growth of each of his students. The ideal teacher is one who grows, learns, and improves himself along with his students. So what about the teachers around you?
Every child is the apple in their parents eyes. And every child is the hope of our country. Being the gethering place, campus’ security turns out to be very significant.
每一个孩子都是父母的掌上明珠。每一个孩子都是祖国的希望。校园作为孩子们的聚集地，它的安全是非常重要的。
However, recently years campus security is being threatened. Some extremly people, who have suffered something bad will take revenge on the society. Because they think it’s the society fault to lead their disaster. And school is important to the society and the students are vulnerable groups, who don’t have too much ability to fight back. So they can easily success. In addition, some teachers’ quality may not good so that the students in school can’t get good education or affect their virtuous soul. What’s worse, some schools may occur the phenomenon of child abuse. There are also some coincidences will threat the campus safty.
然而，近年来校园安全受到威胁。一些经历过一些灾难的极端的人会报复社会。因为他们认为他们的不幸都是社会的错。学校对社会很重要而且学生是弱势群体，他们没有太多的反击能力。所以他们可以很容易地成功报复。此外，一些教师的素质不好，使得学生在学校无法得到良好的教育或者影响到他们善良的心灵。更糟糕的是，一些学校可能会发生虐童现象。也有一些意外会威胁到校园安全。
It’s high time that we should take measures to keep a safe campus. First of all, the school should hire more responsible gate keeper and make specific rules to prevent the social people from coming into the campus. Secondly, when hiring new teachers, the school should not only consider the teachering skill but also the personal quality. The school also have to make some speech for students to increase their safe consciousness.
我们是时候应该采取措施来保持校园的安全。首先，学校应该雇佣更多有责任心的门卫并制订具体的规章制度来阻止社会人士进入校园。其次，当雇用新的老师的时候，学校不仅要考虑到他的教学技能也要考虑到他的个人素质。学校应该做一些宣传来提高学生们的安全意识。
In general, campus security is very important that need all of us to make effort to achieve it. The measures mentioned above are just parts of keeping campus security. I hope people from all walks of life can give their hands to help the student grow healthly.
总的来说，校园安全是非常重要的，需要我们每个人的努力去实现。上述举措只是保持校园安全的一部分。我希望社会各界人士能伸出援手来帮助学生们健康成长。

With the improvement of our living standard， more and more people canafford a car。 As a result， our roads are more often than not crammed with cars。However， with more and more waste gas being discharged by the cars， the problemof air pollution bees even more serious。 So nowadays we advocate to lead alow-carbon life。
My suggestion is we should ride bikes more often instead of driving cars。Byriding a bike， we can not only exercise our body but also protect ourenvironment。 Why not have a try， my dear friends?
与我们的生活水平的提高，越来越多的人都买得起汽车的。因此，道路往往没有堆满了汽车。然而，随着越来越多的废气排放是汽车、空气污染问题变得更加严重。所以此刻我们提倡过低碳的生活。
我的推荐是我们就应更经常骑自行车而不是开车骑一辆自行车，我们不仅仅能锻炼身体，也能保护我们的环境。为什么不试试，我亲爱的朋友?
Of all the fruits, I like apples best. First it is very beautiful. It is red and round. You can’t help eating it when you see it. Second, it is very sweet. It is really a kind of enjoyment when you taste it. Third, it is said that apples are very good for our health. There is a saying: “One apple a day, keeps a doctor away.” It means that if you have one apple every day, you won’t get any disease. The apple is not only an ordinary kind of fruit, it can also keep you away from disease, so there is no reason to refuse it. Try it and enjoy it!
I do not know when, "after 90" and the word seems to have "non-mainstream" "alternative" and "Brain disabled" "narcissistic," etc., or the so-called neutral, or absolute derogatory words painted on the equal sign. The counter only invite more criticism, so we have not any explanation, because the defense is useless, it is true, few can objectively deal with this generation of young people?
In fact, you really do not understand emotion-rich read, and enjoy our life!
You: we are after is the lost generation 90. But I have to tell you: "Confusion can be harvested brilliant." Think about 1200 years ago to get the job of Health Zhang! Expedition lost, how he lost, abjection and the destruction of nearly overwhelmed him. But today, there are who remember the top Daigui Guan, Zong Ma parade of champion names? People remember only from the confusion out of the get the job of Health Zhang and his first eternal Masterpiece's "Maple Bridge at Night."
"After 90" may very confused, but "after 90" is destined not to give up the pursuit of dreams. We will use your strong and brave to write their own life.
When the 11-year-old girl in Beichuan on a wheelchair Lee "jump" from the ballet, the graceful movements, clear eyes, the only remaining right foot that the dog red shoes, like a key moment to open people's Emotional the door.
My high school headteacher teaches my English. He is handsome. And he is very thin for hardwork. He is about forty years old. He looks serious. But in fact, he is kind, nice and warmhearted.
On the one hand, he is serious on study. Whoever doesn’t finish the homework or cheat in the exam, he will punish him or her badly. Sometimes he will let those students do doble homework or have another exam. Sometimes he will ask those students write reports on that behavior.
But when teaching us in class, he is so patient. It’s the same when asking him questions. On the other hand, he will play with us after class. Meanwhile, if anyone has any difficuty in study or daily life, he will give a hand without hesitation.
All in all, we love our headteacher, though sometimes he is serious. We like his responsibility. We also appreciate his spirit to work for students heart and soul.
Hello, everybody! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat. How is everybody doing today? (Applause.) How about Tim Spicer? (Applause.) I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we’ve got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade. And I am just so glad that all could join us today. And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host. Give yourselves a big round of applause. (Applause.)I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now -- (applause) -- with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could’ve stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived overseas. I lived in Indonesia for a few years. And my mother, she didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday. But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.Now, as you might imagine, I wasn’t too happy about getting up that early. And a lot of times, I’d fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever I’d complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she’d say, “This is no picnic for me either, buster.” (Laughter.)So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But I’m here today because I have something important to discuss with you. I’m here because I want to talk with you about your education and what’s expected of all of you in this new school year.But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world -- and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed. That’s what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself. Every single one of you has something that you’re good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That’s the opportunity an education can provide.
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, teachers and my fellowfriends.Thetitle of the speech that i‘m going to talk about is on money andhealth.Now asyou see, we have a society where people just concentrate on earningmoney to payoff their mortgage, credit cards, holiday expanses etc, most of themfail tonotice the gradual decline in their health.To them money is much muchmoreimportant than health.As it says, " money is the root of all evil." Iagreewith it.Therefore, it is now time for us to watch out for our healthandtreasure our body! Thank you!
早上好各位来宾，老师，各位朋友。讲话的标题，我要谈论金钱和健康。现在你看，我们有一个社会，人们只集中在以赚钱偿还房屋按揭贷款，信用卡，节假日等大片，其中大部分没有注意他们的健康逐渐下降。对于他们的钱远远比健康更为重要。它说：“金钱是万恶之源。”我同意了。因此，现在是时候了，我们看我们的健康和珍惜自己的身体了!谢谢您!
good moning, ladies and gentlemen. my topic today is educational background should never lose the ability .
talking about the educatinal background and ability, there is one people we can't help thinking up , that is tang jun, who has been regarded as the “king of chinese employees”, but he lost his dream because joye said his educational background is fake . at this moment ,sb said tang is nobody because he is without any educatinal background , however others still said tang is sb because he is within the ability. ladies and gentleman， what do you think? before answer it, i want to ask another questions" why are you sitting here today ? why am i standing here today? for what ? educatinal background ? ability? i think both of them， every day we work hard for pursuing higher educatinal background directly or indirectly : everyday we experience xhallenges or difficulties to improve our ability consciously or unconsciously. so ,today,i should say , we should own the educational background as well as the ability.
then now , i remenber a few days ago , one of my young sister , who is a freshman in jianghan university , called me and complained to me seriously, “ my headmaster told us to now work as hard as possible to prepare the postgraduate examination for a higher educational background tommorow. on the other side , he advised us to enhance our real ability in practice . what should i do ? how should i deal with it? i was surprised about her complainants. however, after i surfed the internet , i was more shocked. it was reported in an investigation , now there are nearly 40% of graduates who are pure bookworms, only with the educational background , 30% are practitioners , only with high ability but failed many courses until graduation.
what a extreme! educational background and ability , they are different but they are not conflicted, they are seperated, actually they are unified. in this age of modernization, in this age of competition, eucatinal background should never lose the ability, without educatinal background , tangjun is still a great man for his undoubtedly ability and contributions . we are not mr tang , he is unique in the world . his ability can't be copied, we are the common people , what we should do is to work down to earth .
then one day we can have the key of high educational background to open the door of future, meanwhile , strengthen the ability to stand there highly and respectivly forever!
thank you very much!
教育背景不应失去能力
早上好，女士们，先生们。我今天的话题是教育背景不应该失去能力。
谈论教育背景和能力，这是一个人我们不能帮助思考，唐军，曾被视为“中国员工”，王，但他失去了自己的梦想，因为Joye说他的教育背景是假的.。在这一刻，某人说，唐是没有人因为他是没有任何教育背景，但是还有人说是因为他在唐某人的能力。女士们，先生们，你觉得怎么样?在回答之前，我想问另一个问题：“你为什么今天坐在这里?为什么我今天站在这里?对于
什么?教育背景?能力?我认为他们两个，我们每天努力工作，追求更高的教育背景，直接或间接：我们每天经历xhallenges或困难，自觉或不自觉地提高我们的能力。所以，今天，我应该说，我们应该拥有自己的教育背景和能力。
那么现在，我记得前几天，一个我年轻的妹妹，谁是江汉大学大一新生，叫我和抱怨我认真，“我的校长告诉我们现在尽可能努力工作的高等教育背景明天准备研究生考试。另一方面，他建议我们在实践中提高我们的实际能力。我该怎么办?我该如何处理呢?我对她是投诉人惊讶。然而，当我上网，我更多的是震惊。这是一个调查报告，现在有近40%的毕业生是纯粹的书呆子，只与教育背景，30%
都是从业人员，只有具有很高的能力，但没有很多课程，直到毕业。
极端的!教育背景和能力，它们是不同的但他们并不是对立的，它们是分开的，实际上它们是统一的。在这个时代的现代化，这个时代的竞争，eucatinal背景永远不应该失去的能力，没有教育背景，唐骏仍然对他的能力和贡献的人伟大的无疑。我们不是唐先生，他在世界上是独一无二的。他的能力是不可复制的，我们是普通人，我们要做的就是把工作降到地球。
然后有一天，我们可以打开未来的门，高学历的关键，同时，加强站有高度和各自的能力
With the development of society, the tourism has already become one style of daily life. More and more people spend their holiday on traveling.
However, the uncivilized behavior in tourism was often exposed by the media. For example, leaving some notes on the sites to express he has been here, but it can damage cultural relic which is always priceless. I remember several months ago, a Chinese tourist left some notes on a relic in Egypt and the relic has a history of more than one thousand years. What a pity! When I heard this thing, I feel very ashamed. Because it will not only tarnish our country’s image but also damage the priceless relic.
Other uncivilized behavior like smoking in public place, throwing garbage anywhere, speaking loudly in public place and jumping a queue will also make a bad impression in the public. But I think these bad habit can be reformed easily if people can realize them.
Yesterday I got a piece of information about uncivilized tourism. The news said that four people have been punished by our country because of their uncivilized behavior in tourism. Their name have been in the blacklist which will keep for five to ten years. So how the blacklist works? Let me tell you. If someone’s name is in the blacklist, it will be forbidden travelling for a period, maybe five years or ten years. I think the blacklist will works well.
Travelling can relax us. But I think civilized tourism can enjoy our life better.
Good evening, Dear judges, ladies and gentlemen, my name is HeYi, I am from class 165, today I am very glad to give my speech here, and my topic is Life.
As we know, life is precious and only one time for every person. So dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
The happiest of people dont necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, youre the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. Ten thousand years are too long, seize the day, seize the hour!
Think you for your listening!
My name is , from . I scored unsatisfactory and did their desired universities. I think, either in the country on a first-clacolleges, or to go abroad. If on a domestic university, it is a waste of time. So I chose to study abroad.
So I understand that New Zealand students through the Internet has more advantages. First of all, New Zealand is a multicultural country, a time-advanced level. Second, the students lower costs than other countries, more reasonable. Third, the weather and almost southern China. Therefore, I propose to the parents to New Zealand to study the wishes of the parents get the support.
From 06 to 07, I CIBT School of Beijing University of Technology to study for two years, I am learning is that I am interested in businemanagement. Through this two-year study, as in the commercial, I later laid a foundation for learning.
Many schools in New Zealand, I chose the UNITEC Institute. UNITEC is unique in that the traditional university academic standards and polytechnics and technical advantages of combining vocational education. School in combining theory and practice for school concept, exploring the creativity of the students to continue to adapt to social change.
This year, China will host the Olympic Games in Beijing. , The eyes of the world gathered here. In particular, some businessmen in China, a huge potential market in search of busineopportunities. Therefore, I choose to UNITEC Institute study marketing, I believe that this right after I returned employment development will be of great help. UNITEC particularly to the integration of theory and practical teaching methods, more determined my choice. Reading through UNITEC of Chinese students in the exchange, I understand MARKETING study very hard, I need to put more time and energy on top. Maybe I can not be like the other students on edge as the Edge Reading. But my parents understood my idea, I am willing to fully support the school.
01. Remember to say thank you
Hi. I'm here to talk to you about the importance of praise, admiration and thank you, and having it be specific and genuine.
And the way I got interested in this was, I noticed in myself, when I was growing up, and until about a few years ago, that I would want to say thank you to someone, I would want to praise them, I would want to take in their praise of me and I'd just stop it. And I asked myself, why? I felt shy, I felt embarrassed. And then my question became, am I the only one who does this? So, I decided to investigate.
I'm fortunate enough to work in the rehab facility, so I get to see people who are facing life and death with addiction. And sometimes it comes down to something as simple as, their core wound is their father died without ever saying he's proud of them. But then, they hear from all the family and friends that the father told everybody else that he was proud of him, but he never told the son. It's because he didn't know that his son needed to hear it.
So my question is, why don't we ask for the things that we need? I know a gentleman, married for 25 years, who's longing to hear his wife say, "Thank you for being the breadwinner, so I can stay home with the kids," but won't ask. I know a woman who's good at this. She, once a week, meets with her husband and says, "I'd really like you to thank me for all these things I did in the house and with the kids." And he goes, "Oh, this is great, this is great." And praise really does have to be genuine, but she takes responsibility for that. And a friend of mine, April, who I've had since kindergarten, she thanks her children for doing their chores. And she said, "
But before I show you what’s inside,
I will tell you that’s going to do incredible things for you .
It will bring all of your family together.

And you’ll have a life-time supply of good drugs.

The price?
Fifty-five thousand dollars.
And that’s an incredible deal.
By now, I know you’re dying to know what it is and where you can get one.

Dose it have the Apple logo on it?
Is there a waiting list?
Not likely.
This gift came to me about five months ago.
And looked more like this when it was all wrapped up.
Not quite so pretty.
And this.
And then this.
It was a rare jam.
A brain tumor.
Hemangioblastoma.
The gift that keeps on giving.
And while I’m ok now.
I wouldn’t wish this gift for you.
I’m not sure you’d want it.
But I would’t change my experience.
It profoundly altered my life in ways it didn’t expect.
In all the ways I just shared with you.
So the next time you are faced with something that’s unexpected, unwanted and uncertain. Consider that it just may be a gift.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Good morning! I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech.
Man’s life is a process of growing up, actually I’m standing here is a growth. If a person’s 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 that’s 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 future? Maybe it’s a nice wish. Lets make up our minds, stick to it and surely well enjoy our life.
Should Smoking in Public Places be Banned?
Nowadays many countries in the world have passed laws to ban smoking in public places. Some smokers claim that their rights are infringed if smoking is forbidden in public places. However, most non-smokers regard the ban as good news. As far as I’m concerned, smoking should be banned in all the public places such as restaurants, theaters and public squares.
On the one hand, smoking is harmful both for smokers themselves and others. It is reported that every year smoking causes millions of death around the world. On the other hand, smoking pollutes the air. Just imagine that you sit in a restaurant full of smoke, how can you enjoy your meal there? Besides, smoking is bad for the elevation of a country’s image in the world.
I believe if smoking is banned in all the public places, most of us will breathe in more fresh and clean air. And the health condition of all the people will be greatly improved.
daily life can be made happier. it is a matter of choice. it is our attitude that makes us feel happy or unhappy. it is true, we meet all kinds of situations during the day, and some of them may not be conductive to happiness. we can choose to keep thinking about the unhappy events, and we can choose to refuse to think about them, and instead, relish the happy moments. all of us constantly go through various situations and circumstances, but we do not have to let them influence our reactions and feelings.
if we let outer events influence our moods, we become their slaves. we lose our freedom. we let our happinebe determined by outer forces. on the other hand, we can free ourselves from outer influences. we can choose to be happy, and we can do a lot to add happineto our lives.
what is happiness? it is a feeling of inner peace and satisfaction. it is usually experienced when there are no worries, fears or obsessing thoughts, and this usually happens, when we do something we love to do or when we get, win, gain or achieve something that we value. it seems to be the outcome of positive events, but it actually comes from the inside, triggered by outer events.
for most people happineseems fleeting, because they let changing outer circumstances affect it. one of the best ways to keep it, is by gaining inner peace through daily meditation. as the mind becomes more peaceful, it becomes easier to choose the happinehabit.
here are a few tips for increasing happinein daily life:
1) endeavor to change the way you look at things. always look at the bright side. the mind may drag you to think about negativity and difficulties. don't let it. look at the good and positive side of every situation.
2) think of solutions, not problems.
3) listen to relaxing, uplifting music.
4) watch funny comedies that make you laugh.
5) each day, devote some time to reading a few pages of an inspiring book or article.
6) watch your thoughts. whenever you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts, start thinking of pleasant things.
7) always look at what you have done and not at what you haven't.
sometimes you may begin the day with the desire to accomplish several objectives. at the end of the day you might feel frustrated and unhappy, because you haven't been able to do all of those things.
look at what you have done, not at what you have not been able to do. you may have accomplished a lot during the day, and yet you let yourself become frustrated, because of some small things that you did not accomplish. you have spent all day successfully carrying out many plans, and instead of feeling happy and satisfied, you look at what was not accomplished and feel unhappy. it is unfair toward yourself.
8) each day do something good for yourself. it can be something small, such buying a book, eating something you love, watching you favorite program on tv, going to a movie, or just having a stroll on the beach.
9) each day do at least one act to make others happy. this can be a kind word, helping your colleagues, stopping your car at the crossroad to let people cross, giving your seat in a bus to someone else, or giving a small present to someone you love. the possibilities are infinite. when you make someone happy, you become happy, and then people try to make you happy.
10) always expect happiness.
11) do not envy people who are happy. on the contrary, be happy for their happiness.
12) associate with happy people, and try to learn from them to be happy. remember, happineis contagious.
My fellow and my friends；
Once I read a piece of news report. It says， ＂A middle school student in a remote mountainous area was doing his revision at home one day. His brother， whose age excelled school age， was playing and drawing on the paper with his elder brother＇s pencil at his side. Suddenly the younger brother raised his head thoughtfully， his little eyes were winking， and said to his brother seriously， ＂When will it thirty-second， brother？＂ The elder brother looked at his innocent younger brother and said with a smile， ＂What are you going to do on that thirty-second？＂ ＂Papa promised me to send me to school，＂ said his younger brother. His brother， the middle school student looked at his lovely brother and his heart seemed to be stitched with needles. My God！ My parents were working day and night in order to be able to afford my schooling. They were exhausted. How could they afford my younger brother＇s schooling？ Oh， thirty-second ...
My dear friends， hearing this， didn＇t you feel sorry for them？ We share the same native land， the same blue sky under the sun. Why cannot they be given lesson at school， sitting in the bright and big classroom？ We are used to saying that education goes first before vitalizing the country. But now the country＇s fiscal solvency and material resources are not ample enough. What should we do？ It requires that we should be of one heart and exert our efforts for our motherland.
同胞们，朋友们：
我曾看过这样一则报道：＂某边远山区一个中学生，一天在家复习功课，一旁的已过入学年龄的小弟弟拿他的铅笔在纸上写着、涂着、画着，突然若有所思地仰起小脸，眨巴几下小眼睛，认真地问：＇哥哥，什么时候才到32号呀？＇这位中学生看看天真的小弟弟，笑着逗他：＇32号你要干啥？＇＇爸爸说，到32号才能送我去上学。＇中学生望着可爱的小弟弟，内心针扎般难受：天哪，父母为了供自己上学，整日操劳，身体都累垮了，哪还有能力再送弟弟上学？啊！32号......＂
朋友们，当你听了这个故事，你不感到痛心吗？同在一片故土上，同在一片蓝天下，为什么他们不能坐在宽敞明亮的教室里去读书？我们常说：国家要振兴，教育须先行。而我国的财力、物力都不宽裕，怎么办？这就需要全社会的人齐心协力为国家分忧，为国家出力！
Dear Peter,
How is it going? At my school we’re talking about what we should do to be a good student.
To be a polite middle school student, I think we have to do a lot of things. First,it’s important for us to speak politely. We must respect the others. When I meet someone I know , I often greet him by saying hello to him happily. We are supposed to be kind to others, warm-hearted to everyone, and generous to our friends. Second, we can’t throw rubbish everywhere. We must throw them in the rubbish bins. Littering is not a good habit. Every time I go to the park, I always pick up the litter and put it into the bin. I think if we all do so, the world will be cleaner. Another important thing is that we must follow the rules. There is no doubt that waiting in line is the important rule. I never rush into the bus. Waiting may be a happy thing. I foten feel happy when I do something that is better for us. I think being a polite middle school student is proud.
Anything new at your school?
Dear teacher and Classsmates:
I am very glad to make a speech here in this ClASs again! This time, Id like to talk something about English.
I love English.English language is now used everywhere in the world.It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade.Learning English makes me confident and brings me great pleasure.
When I was seven, my mother sent me to an English school.At there, I played games and sang English songs with other children .Then I discovered the beauty of the language, and began my colorful dream in the English world.
Everyday, I read English following the tapes.Sometimes, I watch English cartoons.
On the weekend, I often go to the English corner.By talking with different people there, I have made more and more friends as well as improved my oral English.
I hope I can travel around the world someday.I want to go to America to visit Washington Monument, because the president Washington is my idol.Of course, I want to go to London too, because England is where English language developed.If I can ride my bike in Cambridge university, I will be very happy.
I hope I can speak English with everyone in the world.Ill introduce China to them, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and Anshan.
I know, Rome was not built in a day.I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well.
If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable.So I believe as I love English everyday , it will love me too.
Dear teachers and students
How do you do! The theme of my speech today is "learning for yourself".
We often hear the saying, "it's never too old to learn." Learning is a lifelong thing, especially for our students, our task is to learn.
Perhaps some students are silently thinking about learning. Alas, what I fear most all day is learning. Learning is very boring and boring. It is a painful thing, let alone happy. But if we study hard and carefully, learning is also happy for us. We should not regard learning as an errand and should not perfunctory it. Only those who want to learn will learn real knowledge and truly realize its happiness.
Students, think about who you study for. Not for teachers, not for family, but for yourself. Think about what we can achieve if we don't study hard.
Let's study hard from now on and build a better future. Study hard and seize the day! Students, let's cheer together!
Thank you. My speech is over.
who and groups famously follow the opinions of the most dominant or charismatic person in the room, even though there's zero correlation between being the best talker and having the best ideas -- i mean zero. so ... (laughter) you might be following the person with the best ideas, but you might not. and do you really want to leave it up to chance? much better for everybody to go off by themselves, generate their own ideas freed from the distortions of group dynamics, and then come together as a team to talk them through in a well-managed environment and take it from there.
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.
You know, you know, we started this great effort on a sunny july morning in pinders corner on pat and liz moynihan's beautiful farm and 62 counties, 16 months, 3 debates, 2 opponents, and 6 black pantsuits later, because of you, here we are.
You came out and said that issues and ideals matter, jobs matter, downstate and upstate, health care matters, education matters, the environment matters, social security matters, a woman's right to choose matters. it all matters and i just want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you, new york!
Thank you for opening up your minds and your hearts, for seeing the possibility of what we could do together for our children and for our future here in this state and in our nation. i am profoundly grateful to all of you for giving me the chance to serve you.
I will - i will do everything i can to be worthy of your faith and trust and to honor the powerful example of senator daniel patrick moynihan. i would like all of you and the countless new yorkers and americans watching to join me in honoring him for his incredible half century of service to new york and our nation. senator moynihan, on behalf of new york and america, thank you.
I promise you tonight that i will reach across party lines to bring progress for all of new york's families. today we voted as democrats and republicans. tomorrow we begin again as new yorkers.
And how fortunate we are indeed to live in the most diverse, dynamic and beautiful state in the entire union. you know, from the south bronx to the southern tier, from brooklyn to buffalo, from montauk to massena, from the world's tallest skyscrapers to breathtaking mountain ranges, i've met people whose faces and stories i will never forget. thousands of new yorkers from all 62 counties welcomed to me into your schools, your local diners, your factory floors, your living rooms and front porches. you taught me, you tested me and you shared with me your challenges and concerns - about overcrowded or crumbling schools, about the struggle to care for growing children and aging parents, about the continuing challenge of providing equal opportunity for all and about children moving away from their home towns because good jobs are so hard to find in upstate new york. now i've worked on issues like these for a long time, some of them for 30 years, and i am determined to make a difference for all of you.
You see, i believe our nation owes every responsible citizen and every responsible family the tools that they need to make the most of their own lives. that's the basic bargain. i'll do my best to honor in the united states senate.
And to those of you who did not support me, i want you to know that i will work in the senate for you and for all new yorkers. and to those of you who worked so hard and never lost faith even in the toughest times, i offer you my undying gratitude.
