演讲稿可以按照用途、性质等来划分，是演讲上一个重要的准备工作。在日新月异的现代社会中，很多地方都会使用到演讲稿，相信很多朋友都对写演讲稿感到非常苦恼吧，
Good morning ladies and gentlemen:
The title of my speech today is “The Doors that Are Open to Us ”.
The other day my aunt paid me a visit. She was overjoyed. “I got the highest mark in the mid-term examination!” she said. Don't be surprised! My aunt is indeed a student; to be exact, a college student at the age of 45.
Last year, she put aside her private business and signed up for a one-year, full-time management course in a college. “This was the wisest decision I have ever made,” she said proudly like a teenage girl. To her, college is always a right place to pick up new ideas, and new ideas always make her feel young.
“Compared with the late 70s,” she says, “now college students have many doors.” My aunt cannot help but recall her first college experience in 1978 when college doors began to be re-opened after the Cultural Revolution. She was assigned to study engineering despite her desire to study Chinese literature, and a few years later, the government sent her to work in a TV factory.
I was shocked when she first told me how she (had) had no choice in her major and job. Look at us today! So many doors are open to us! I believe there have never been such abundant opportunities for self-development as we have today. And my aunt told me that we should reach our goals by grasping all these opportunities.
The first door I see is the opportunity to study different kinds of subjects that interest us. My aunt said she was happy to study management, but she was also happy that she could attend lectures on ancient Chinese poetry and on Shakespearean drama. As for myself, I am an English major, but I may also go to lectures on history. To me, if college education in the past emphasized specialization, now, it emphasizes free and well-rounded development of each individual. So all the fine achievements of human civilization are open to us.
The second door is the door to the outside world. Learning goes beyond classrooms and national boundaries. My aunt remembers her previous college days as monotonous and even calls her generation “frogs in a well.” But today, as the world becomes a global village, it is important that our neighbors and we be open-minded to learn with and from each other. I have many fellow international classmates, and I am applying to an exchange program with a university abroad. As for my aunt, she is planning to get an MBA degree in the United Kingdom where her daughter, my cousin, is now doing her master's degree in biochemistry. We are now taking the opportunity to study overseas, and when we come back, we'll put to use what we have learnt abroad.
The third door is the door to lifelong learning. As new ideas appear all the time, we always need to acquire new knowledge, regardless of our age. Naturally, my aunt herself is the best example. Many of my aunt's contemporaries say that she is amazingly up-to-date for a middle-aged woman. She simply responds,“Age doesn't matter. What matters is your attitude. You may think it's strange that I am still going to college, but I don't think I'm too old to learn.”Yes, she is right. Since the government removed the age limit for college admissions in 20xx, there are already some untraditional students, sitting with us in the same classrooms. Like these people, my aunt is old but she is very young in spirit. With her incredible energy and determination, she embodies both tradition and modernity.
The doors open to us also pose challenges. For instance, we are faced with the challenge of a balanced learning, the challenge of preserving our fine tradition while learning from the West, and the challenge of learning continuously while carrying heavy responsibilities to our work and family. So, each door is a test of our courage, ability and judgment, but with the support of my teachers, parents, friends and my aunt, I believe I can meet the challenge head on. When I reach my aunt's age, I can be proud to say that I have walked through dozens of doors and will, in the remainder of my life, walk through many more. Possibly I will go back to college, too.
Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.
Good evening, everyone 。 May I take this opportunity of thanking you for coming`， my name is XX ，Im a sophmore ，major in Chinese from class one
This is really a great honor to have this opportunity, and I believe I can make good performance today. the next four minutes will change your attitude to internet and society.
With the increase of global Internet users and the rapid development of related technology, in recent years, people are developing an inseparable relationship with internet ，as is known to all ，it is convenient for us to click the mouse when surfing on line ，either to entertain or to meet the work’s need 。and I still believe that In the near future, the network will affect peoples life and society further 。
One the one hand ，no one denies that internet is currently one of the most useful media in our daily life ，as a college student ，I get on line everyday to obtain and exchange information with it ，we have to say internet do a great help for all of us. Everything lives with opposite forces. The same can be said about modern technology, such as Internet. We also have enough evidence indicating that the Internet can be a harmful influence on people. A great many people admit that they are too much addicted to internet too maintain a regular and health lifestyle 。 Some children addicted in playing the games on the internet without study 。Some of the people using the internet to do some illegal things which loses peoples properties and hurt someones feelings.
Thus ，it is necessary for us to use internet in a reasonable way and restrain from overindulgence 。after all. internet is invented to enrich our life ，and to improve the effiency of our work rather than shackle us with a chain 。 I am afraid that the clock is against us, so we had better stop here 。You have been a very attentive audience---thank you
Good morning India!
Today on 15th August 20xx India is celebrating its 67th Independence Day, and we Indians are proud to say we have owned our freedom 67 years old back. As we gather here today I take the opportunity to congratulate every student and teacher of this School/college a Happy Independence Day! I also take the opportunity of welcoming you our chief guest for today!
We have assembled here to celebrate our 67th Independence Day. As a citizen of India, I am so proud to talk to you about my mother India. On the night of August 14, 1947, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru rose to make a maiden speech in New Delhi, “When the world sleeps, India will wake to life and freedom.” Yes, India became free from the bondage of British rule. Now, India is the largest democratic country in the world. The country’s strength is to find, “Unity in diversity”。
But, there are stray incidents that test her secularism but the people of India are ready to sacrifice anything for the cause of unity. Today we remember the great leaders who gave their lives for the nation’s freedom and prosperity. Dr. B.R.Ambedkar gave the longest written constitution to us. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru worked for an industrialized India. Gandhi Ji taught us Ahimsa and Non-violence. Subash Chandra Bose inducted courage in us. Swami Vivekanand gave us spiritual power. Yes, with these contributions; India will be the super power in the coming years.
Our former President Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam called the children of India to dream to build a strong Nation with aim and perseverance. Indeed! This is not a word of a single man. It is word of one billionsouls.
May is a symbol of Spring when the wild geese fly north and the gardens are full of flowers.
The general strike of workers for eight-hour workday in 1880s in the western countries gave birth to Labour Day!
We should sow the south mountain after sowing the north mountain. How can we show our favoritism when help our neighbors sow There will be less wasteland if everyone does as what I do. This is a poem which described people’s working life in the mountain area. Their collaboration in working shows their diligent and brave spirit. Work creates man, work creates beauty, and it is also work that creates our better life. Since ancient times, the Chinese create our splendid Chinese civilization with their hands. It is work that gives us the precious material and spiritual wealth.
It is the sweat and diligent work of thousands of workers that build the modern buildings and highways and change wastelands into fertile fields. These workers include our parents, our teachers as well as the cleaners in our school. On the coming of Labor Day, please give our sincere wishes to all the workers when we enjoy this lovely spring and our happy life.
However, there are many students who hate working, they don’t think that learning or tidy up our bedrooms is also a kind of working. If we don’t grasp these little trivial skills, we can’t be an eligible worker in the future. Attitude is everything! If we treat work as making a dish, the proper attitude towards it is the core ingredient of the dish which can make the dish more delicious.
My dear fellow students, let’s take actions from now on to make our classroom full of vitality, keep our classrooms tidy and decorate our dormitories to be more beautiful and comfortable. Let’s learn to respect and love working, I believe our life will be more meaningful for us!
Honorable Judges, fellow students: Recently, ther is a heated debate in our society. The college students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education at extraordinary places. But will we be able to face the challenge and support ourselves against all odds? Will we be able to better the lives of others? Will we be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of our country?
The cynics say the college students are the pampered lost generation, which would cringe at the slightest discomfort. But the cynics are wrong. The college students I see are eagerly learning about how to live independently. We help each other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take part time jobs to supplement our pocket money.
The cynics say we care for nothing other than grades; and we neglect the need for character cultivation. But again, the cynics are wrong. We care deeply for each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth. Last week, thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer.
As college students, we are adolescents at the critical turning point in our lives. We all face a fundamental choice: cynicism or faith, each will profoundly impact our future, or even the future of our country. I believe in all my fellow classmates. Though we are still inexperienced and even a little bit childish. I believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challenge and take on our responsibilities. We are preparing to assume new responsibilities and tasks, and to use the education we have received to make our world a better place. I believe in our future.

尊敬的评委，各位同学： 最近，社会上有一场很激烈的争论。大学生是一种稀有特权的享有者，在很棒的地方接受高等教育。但是，我们能面对挑战而无所畏惧吗？我们能够改善他人的生活吗？我们能够承担建设祖国未来的重任吗？
怀疑论者说大学生是被宠坏的一代，一丁点挫折都受不了。但是他们错了，我所看到的大学生正在努力的学习独立生活。我们互相帮助打扫卫生，一起上街砍价购物，一起参加兼职工作来赚零花钱。
怀疑论者说我们除了成绩什么都不关心，从而忽略了性格的培养。但是，他们又错了。我们彼此关心，我们向往自由，我们珍惜公正，我们追求真理。上个星期，很多我的同学去验血，为了给患血癌的孩子贡献自己的力量。
作为大学生，我们是处在人生分水岭的青年。我们都面临一个重要的选择：怀疑人生还是相信自己，每一种都会给我们的人生带来重大的影响，甚至影响我们祖国的未来。我相信我们的同学们，虽然我们依然缺乏经验，甚至有些志气，但是我相信我们有勇气和自信来面对生活的挑战并承担我们的责任。我们正努力准备接受新的任务，用我们所学习的知识将世界变得更美好。我对我们的未来充满信心。
I am proud of being a college student. I like my college life as it is so wonderful time in my youth. As being born in small village of the remote countryside, I didn't have a good education environment.
However, I set a goal and felt confident to be a college student. After hard study, I passed the entrance examination of national college by excellent achievement. All people were proud of me, as I was the first college student in my village. I was farewell warmly by them when I came to school. I was warmly welcome by school, too. After then, I’ve felt my study is not only for myself but also for the honor of my village neighborhood and our school.
The college life is wonderful. All life in school are fresh. New teachers, new classmates and fresh friends are around me. I’ve felt their friendship, wide knowledge and opening mind. The grand library, school buildings and wide playground are very attracting to me. I am very eager to learn much knowledge quickly. In high school, I was ever called as a runner before time. Now,I know I am behind time so much in fact. I hope to catch up with the time by my hard studying. Every day, you can see me get up early, doing exercise hard and go to school the first one.
At night, I am the one who leaves away the library. The most interesting thing is that I can’t speak the PUTONGHUA well and made many funny events at the beginning， as I am from South. When I entered the classroom at first time, I was headache as I couldn’t understand what the professor was speaking.
I met much difficulties at math, physics and other courses, even though I used to be good at these sciences. Therefore, I learn these courses myself after class. After three months, the exmination indicated that I overcame all the difficlties.
I also improved my listening and spoken ability of Chinese quickly. Communication is very important to my college life. I study English hard as well. It makes me have many chances to communicate with foreigners. I made friends with many foreign teachers and students. From them, I learn many knowledge about foreign cultures. The computer room is another place I like to staying. I contact the outside world by the internet.
All the News, advance science, and the information about internal and outside of China.
Besides study, my college life is also very colorful. I’d like to take any chance to improve my communication skill. I am the monitor and playing an active role in class and school. Last year, I organized a speech match in management department.
All the classmates were very interested in this kind of activity. I learned from them much about their hometown, their knowledge and opinions. At the same time, I shew my beautiful hometown to everyone. In school, I take care all the classmates around me. I am so poor due to from the romote countryside. The school pay most the fee for my education. I feel very happy. However, I know some classmates are poorer than me. I am willing to care them and encourage each other.
My college life is long and short. I believe that I can spend a good time in the four years. I hope I will have no any regretion when I look back the short youth of college in the future. Thanks!

矫健的苍鹰扇动着双翅，无畏的目光点亮前行的道路。呼吸一口新鲜的空气，让久储的梦想复活，让我们一起飞翔！
职专三年得到的不仅是一张文凭，更多的是应该是知识和能力的增长。作为一名职专毕业生，毕业也不仅仅是一条“谋职“路可走，同时还有考研、留学、但是你有没有想过创业呢？别以为自己两手空空，白手起家，其实资本就在你的脑袋里！职专毕业生，白手亦可起家！
创业是每一个职专毕业生必须拥有的一段经历，它使我们在实践中了解社会、在实践中巩固知识；创业又是对每一位职专毕业生专业知识的一种检验，它让我们学到了很多在课堂上根本就学不到的知识，既开阔了视野，又增长了见识，为我们以后进一步走向社会打下坚实的基础，也是我们走向工作岗位的第一步。
考虑创业已经很久了，看了关于这方面的资料已很多。对自己的将来已经有了很充分的打算。在中国，创业，有很多好的项目，可以说，任何一个小的在小的再不起眼的东西，如果真的干好了都会成功的。中国就是这样，地大物博，什么都充满着商机。我们看看，北京这么繁华的城市，做那些那买卖的都是外地人，比如擦皮鞋、买冰棍什么的，在北京本地人看，都是让人瞧不起的，都是让别人看做是有点的东西，的买卖，但在他们眼里这确实自己崇高的事业，毕竟他们要某生，既然要生存就得拉下脸强忍着劲干。不排除机遇和运气，单就是他们自己的毅力和信念，都是他们以后成功最大的法宝了。然而后来，他们真的有成功的，这就是福，这就是当初他们不干人后，做出的抉择。这也就是中国市场之所大的'最好的表现。蒙牛集团的老总牛根生，当初有什么，当初是如何起家的，非常的辛苦，穷孩子呀，50块钱被卖到城里，后来一步一步的开始了自己的人生打算。看每一个例子，无不体现着各个商机的存在。
中国人说：[塞翁失马，焉知非福]在每一个失败中都含有成功的因子，我相信从失败中学到的东西，要比成功中学到的东西多。
会计本来就是烦琐的工作。在学习期间，我曾觉得整天要对着那枯燥无味的账目和数字而心生烦闷、厌倦，以致于登账登得错漏百出。愈错愈烦，愈烦愈错，这只会导致“雪上加霜”。反之，只要你用心地做，反而会左右逢源。越做越觉乐趣，越做越起劲。梁启超说过：凡职业都具有趣味的，只要你肯干下去，趣味自然会发生。因此，做账切忌：粗心大意，马虎了事，心浮气躁。做任何事都一样，需要有恒心、细心和毅力，那才会到达成功的彼岸！
作为自身而言，处在这个与时俱进的经济大潮时代，作为一名财会专业的学员，在校学习期间应更好的学好财会专业里的专业知识，打好理论基础；在财务实习的时候按要求认真参与每一个实习的机会，总结实际操作中的经验和积累学习中自身的不足，密切关注和了解会计工作发展的最新动向，为以后即将从事的会计工作打下坚实的基础，当自己走出校园，成为一名名副其实的财会专业人才，在大浪淘沙中让自己能够找到自己屹立之地，让自己的所学为社会经济作出自己应有的贡献。
罗马并非一日建成，成功更非一蹴而就。为了自己，为了在毕业以后找到好的工作。我们是时候该充实自己，完善自己了。一起努力吧！只有全心奋斗，才有满心收获。
唯愿青年朋友们能学业有成，创业有备。成功永远属于敢于创新，不懈奋斗得创业者！
An Impressive Movie

Ladies and gentlemen,I'm Choco,from14CPA Canada.I'm here today not just for winning the speech contest,which is amazing enough,but more importantly,the topic fascinates me so much.As a member of AIESEC,an international organization for university students famous for global citizen program，I'm proud to help lots of students go out of their countries to be global volunteers,to make friends with peers all around the world,to experience other culture,to make a little change in local society,above all,to develop a sense of global citizenship.We all have firm belief that there shouldn't be walls between occur because people know little about each other,misunderstand each other.If human society has a bright future in peace,there have to be more people with the sense of global citizenship,to share the natural rights together and take responsibility together. Because this is one minute for self-introduction,I just briefly introduce myself in this way: I am a global citizen.China is my bedroom where I usually live,the world is my real home.
【Main part】
I'd like to use the answers to three questions,which is what,why and how, to deliver my speech today.First of all,what are global citizens? We are people who place our indentities with global community above our identities of a particular nation.In other words,we are not abandoning our nationalities or our hometowns,but we have stronger belongings to the globe.We are concerned about every global issue,never less than those in our own countries.
There comes the second question.Many people will ask:" Why do you feel like that? Why do you think more people should feel like that?" Let's look through human's history and there lies the answer. From then to now,it's not difficult to find out that most civilizations have more things in common than differences.We all develop languages,complicated social structures,art,science,commerce,philosophy...Undeniably,we did have wars,but it turned out that there were no winners or losers.We all sufferedfromthe same pain.Families died in battlefield,and houses were detroyed in shells.While in peace,all of us enjoy safe environment and economic growth.Our histories are linked,and so is our future. Everyone of us desires being well off,democracy,cultural prosperity,clean air and water.We all hope that our kids can grow up safe and sound,don't we? Since we share the same feelings,the same hope, humankind is essentially one.If you think that's too big.Let's come down to current globalization is the trendthat no one can stop.Investment comesfromevery corner of the world,and different markets are tightly is needed if everyone wants to live better ,issues of global level are more noticable than before:climate change,financial crisis,women's right,children's health...Without the sense of global citizenship, no one is willing to sit down and settle down the problems together.
Now move to the last question: how to become a global citizen? As a saying goes:To see,to understand,then to of my friendin AIESEC went to Karachi,Pakistan this had she thought that she could see a MacDonald restaurant and hear songs of Taylor Swift right after getting off the plane.What she saw was people living their normal life in the so-called City of Death.Adults going to work,students going to school,just like what we're doing here,although a bullet may fly above their heads the next second.She was also impressed by youngsters in Pakistan,who showed courage,faith and confidence to create a bright future for their just panic and depress can survive there as the news reports,but also the seed of hope is sprouting.Another friendof mine in AIESEC isfromIndia.His name is Kunal,and he regards himself as a global citizen.He joined AIESEC in India,where he met his lifelong lover,a blonde Russian girl in a local project.When he went to the university of Copenhagen,he joined the AIESEC committee there as ,he is in Canada, running another AIESEC project called Green Power Now,giving advice to the government about environmental protection.Young people like Kunal are changing the world now,with their experience, ability, ambition and the name of global citizens.
My speech is almost finished according to the three questions,but traditionally,speakers have to quote something so today I'd like quote a song by John Lennon.The name is Imagine.
As you slowly open your eyes, look around, notice where the light comes into your room; listen carefully, see if there are new sounds you can recognize; feel with your body and spirit, and see if you can sense the freshness in the air.
Yes, yes, yes, its a new day, its a different day, and its a bright day! And most importantly, its a new beginning for your life, a beginning where you are going to make new decisions, take new actions, make new friends, and take your life to a totally unprecedented level.
In your minds eye, you can see clearly the things you want to have, the paces you intend to go, the relationships you desire to develop, and the positions you aspireto reach.
You can hear your laughters of joy and happiness on the day when everything happens as you dream. You can see the smiles on the people around you when the magic moment strikes. You can feel your face is getting red, your heart is beating fast, and your blood is rushing all over your body, to every single corner of your being!
You know all this is real as long as you are confident, passionate and committed! And you are confident, you are passionate, you are committed!
当你慢慢睁开眼睛，环顾四周，注意到光线进入你的房间；仔细听，看看是否有新的声音，你可以识别；感觉与你的身体和精神，看看你是否能感觉到空气中的新鲜感。
是的，是的，是的，这是一个新的一天，这是一个不同的一天，这是一个光明的一天！最重要的是，它是你生命的新的开始，一个你要做出新的决定，采取新的行动，交新的朋友，将你的生活带到一个前所未有的（空前的）水平。
在你的`脑海里，你能清晰地看到你想要的东西，你打算去的地方，你渴望发展的关系，渴望你的立场（励志）达到。
你能听到你的笑声的欢乐和幸福的日子你梦想的一切发生。你可以看到你周围的人的微笑时，神奇的时刻罢工。你能感觉到你的脸变红，你的心在跳动，你的血液在你的身体的每一个角落，你的存在！
你知道所有这一切都是真实的，只要你有信心，热情和承诺！（效忠的）你有信心，你是热情的，你承诺！
Traveling is kind of like being in love. Except instead of being intimatewith another person, you become intimate with a place. Those moments of pleasurewhen the sun hits your face and you look out onto a foreign countryside, orarrive at a new train depot in a bustle of taxis and hawkers—those are themoments you, or at least I, remember, and live for, again and again.
旅行从某种意义来讲就像是在谈恋爱，就像是在和恋人亲密热恋一样，只不过是你和一个地方变亲密。当阳光普照在你的脸庞上时，在你看到窗外异国乡村风情时，当你在熙来攘往的。人群车流中或打的或坐拉脚车去一个新车站时，这些都是快乐时光，至少那个时刻的你，给自己留下了记忆，而且这些快乐的记忆又是如此鲜活。
Dear audience friends:
Hello!
If the world has no sunshine, water, no parents, no family friendship and love, so what will become like? the following:
No sunshine, no warmth; There is no water, there is no life; No parents, of course, there is no our own; Without affection, friendship, love, the world will be a lonely and dark. These truths are very simple, but in life, we should enjoy these, but often less a grateful heart.
Thanksgiving many people, many things, the blame comes from not, don't want to be grateful. Indeed, China's cultural traditions make it difficult for us to say " mom I love you, dad I love you". However, this should not be an excuse. Crow has the meaning of feedback, sheep have knelt milk of grace, do not understand gratitude, lost the emotional basis of love. So, learn to be grateful, to thank parents for their nurturing, to thank teachers for their teaching, to thank friends for their help, to thank all the people who are kind to help themselves and even to thank us for the rough experience. I will not forget one thing not long ago. That day I go shopping with my classmates, a little boy is four or five years old, came running from the front. Because it is winter, down jacket the little boy stay round doodle, rolling up like a small ball. He asked me which bus to take to the zoo, and I told him to take no 4 there. He ran back happily. My classmates and I will go forward. We all walked quite far away, heard the little boy behind " brother elder brother" call me. I didn't know what he was going to do, so I stood there waiting for him, watching his forehead hot sweat ran to my front, I asked him if he had something, he panted heavily as he said, " I just forgot to say thank you to you. Did mom say thank you? I said forget, mom let me chase you. " I won't forget the child and the mother, they let me never forget to learn to thank, no matter what people in the world to give their own even if it is trivial help and care, also don't forget to thank.
Parents give us love, often small but meticulous, not only is often we think it should be so, but also think they are old saying, too tired? In fact, gratitude is from the heart. As the saying goes, " drop of water, when Yongquan quote. " what's more, parents pay for you is not only" a drop of water ", but a sea of water. Because, parents are god gives us don't need any modification of the heart of sustenance.
thank you.

ladies and gentlemen , good afternoon! im very glad to stand here and give you
a short speech. today my topic is “youth”。 i hope you will like it , and found the
importance in your youth so that more cherish it. first i want to ask you some questions:
1、 do you know what is youth
2、 how do you master your youthyouth
youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red
lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is
the freshness of the deep springs of life .youth means a temperamental predominance
of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. this often existsin a man of 60 more than a boy
of 20 . nobody grows old merely by a number of years . we grow old by deserting our
ideals.
years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul .worry ,
fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust . whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being s heart the lure of wonders,
the unfailing childlike appetite of whats next and the joy of the game of living .
in the center of your heart and my heart theres a wireless station : so long as it
receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the
infinite, so long as you are young . when the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism
and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your
aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.thank you!
大学生英语演讲稿八译青春
青春不是指岁月，而是指心态。粉嫩的脸，红润的唇，矫健的膝并不是青春。青春表现
在意志的坚强与懦弱。想象的丰富与苍白、情感的充沛与贫乏等方面。青春是生命深处清泉
的喷涌。
青春是追求。只有当勇气盖过怯弱、进取压倒苟安之时，青春才存在。果如此，则60
见之长者比20岁之少年更具青春活力。仅仅岁月的流逝并不能使他们衰老。而一旦抛弃理想
和信念，则垂垂老也。岁月只能使皮肤起皱。而一旦丧失生活的激情，则连灵魂枯老，使人生枯如死水，毫无
活力。 60岁长者也好，16岁少年也罢，每个人的内心深处都渴望奇迹，都如孩子一般眨着期待
的双眼，期待着下一次，期待着生活的`情趣，你我灵魂深处都有一座无线电中转站------只
有你我年轻，则总能听到希望的呼唤，总能发出喜悦的欢呼，总能传达勇气的讯号，总能表
现出青春的活力一旦青春的天线倒下，你的灵魂即为玩世不恭之雪、悲观厌世之冰覆盖；即使你年方
20.其实你已垂垂老也。而只要你青春的天线高高耸起，就可以随时接收到乐观的电波
-----即使你年过八旬，行将就木，而你却仍然拥有青春，你仍然年轻。

Good morning.Ladies and gentlemen, it's my honor to be here today to give you this speech. My name is susan.I'd like to talk about job satisfaction. Now, please look at the powerpoint.I have dividied my talk into three parts:firstly,the importance of job satisfaction; secondly,the factors of job satisfaction;finally,how to achieve job satisfaction. Now, let's start with the first part: the importance of job satisfaction. A job provides an individual with the necessary means to remain satisfied in almost every aspect of life such as leisure,health and social life.Several key factors are thought to be critical for an employee to achieve job satisfaction. Let's turn to the second part: the factors of job satisfaction. A reasonable salary is of course the most important factor in job satisfaction.
In many people's minds,an ideal job is first of all a well-paid one, which makes the employee feel that he is fairly rewarded for what he has done for the company.Another important element of job satisfaction is the nature of the job itself. Job satisfaction can never be achieved if the employee'seducation,skils and interests.Finally,job satisfaction is closely associated with being part of the decision-making process in the company as well as having opportunities for promotion Let's leave that there, now, let's come to the last part: how to achieve job satisfaction.
for an individual employee,finding the right job and trying to stay positive minght be the first step towards achieving job fulfillment and satisfaction. I'll briefly summarize the main parts. Let me just run over the key points again. Firstly,the importance of job satisfaction;secondly,the factors of job satisfaction;finally,how to achieve job satisfaction. In conclusion, job satisfaction plays an important role in the company and individual.It is the key index to influence the company performance.So we should try our best to achieve it.
We've all been taught that we should help people.It is the right thing to do and will make us popular with others.It may even win us favors in return.However,we must be realistic.We can't say yes to every request.If we did,we would fail or go crazy for sure.Sometimes we simply don't have the time to help.In this case,we must know how to say no politely.
When we need to say no,here is one method we can try.First,we should tell the truth.If we really can't do something,we should just say so.Second,we should remember to refuse requests politely.We must communicate clearly,but must also be sincere and sympathetic.A true friend will understand.Finally,we must not feel guilty about saying no.Sometimes refusing others is the right thing to do.It can save ourselves,and them,a lot of trouble.In short,we cannot please everyone all the favors is a part of life.
get out of "jail"
oh, the joy! the absolute joy! archie couldn’t remember a recent moment when he had felt so happy. if he could sing, he would have sung. if he could dance, he would have danced. if he could have shouted to the world, he would have shouted to the world, “i’m free, i’m free!”
he had been in “jail” for the last week. a mental jail, to be sure, but it still felt like jail. about six weeks ago, he had received his almost annual jury summons. printed on the outside of the white envelope, in bright red letters, was: official jury summons enclosed—registration required within 5 days. a friend of his had been throwing away such summonses for at least 20 years. archie couldn’t do that—he felt that his luck was so bad that if he tried it, his summons would be the one with the concealed microchip that recorded him throwing the envelope in the trash. then he really would be in jail. so, he dutifully filled out the form and waited until his starting date—november 5, a monday. for that week, he would be “on call” for “no more than five days.”
as instructed, he dialed the 800-srv-jury number on the saturday preceding november 5. he tapped in his pin and jury group number. he listened, and sighed with relief; the recording had told him to call again monday after 5 p.m. so, one day out of five was gone!
on monday and tuesday, archie got the same recording. he had now escaped jury duty for three days, monday through wednesday. only two days to go.
wednesday afternoon, his friend gil called, asking archie if he wanted to play golf the next morning. archie said he was on jury duty that week. gil said, “well, no problem! it’s already wednesday. you’ve made it! there’s no way that they’re going to call you to jury duty this late in the week.” archie couldn’t believe that gil had said that. archie knocked several times on his wooden bookcase, saying that he hoped that gil was right.
at 5:05 that evening, still worried that gil had jinxed him, archie dialed the 800 number. sure enough, the recording told him to call back thursday between noon and 12:30, instead of the usual 5 p.m. damn that gil, archie thought.
thursday, he anxiously called at 12:28. the recording told him that his jury service was finished! all he had to do was mail in the affidavit that had come in the white envelope. archie put the affidavit into an envelope, put a 41-cent first class stamp on the envelope, and drove to the post office. whistling as he dropped the envelope into the mailbox, he happily washed his hands once again of the “privilege” of doing jury service.
Good afternoon, dear judges. Today my speech is “I love black-facedspoonbill.
On a beautiful winter day, I happened to meet the lovely spirit------
Black Faced Spoonbill, a type of migratory bird, which spends winter atHong-Shu-Lin in my city every year. Covered with snow-white feathers, it hasblack legs and a black beak. Besides the blacks and whites, an amazing splash ofyellow is under its neck. So elegant that I couldn’t help loving it at firstsight.
With a big and spoon-shaped beak, it can clasp fishes easily, which makesit a powerful hunter in birds.
However, with human expansion and pollution, only around 20__ ones areliving all over the world.
Like the eleven swan princes in Andersen’s Fairy Tale, the Black FacedSpoonbills have always been struggling to find a tiny rock which can offer thema momentary tranquility. Fortunately, they have found one in my beloved home. Iwould always hold them dearly to my heart and wish they would return with flocksof chicks in the following years, and singing……
Oh, I have a home, such a beautiful home, where I play and resthappily.
Oh, give them a home, such a wonderful home, where the spoonbills play allday.
Thank you very much.
good morning(afternoon), dear teachers and fellow students. it’s my greathonor to stand here and share with you a happy morning(afternoon). i am no__. mytopic is “keep your goal in mind” .i hope you will enjoy it.
do you have a goal for your work? do you have a goal for your study? do youhave a goal for your life? maybe i will get an affirmative reply. yeah, everyonehas a goal of doing something. there is no doubt that a goal is very importantin our life. now i want to tell you a true story in my school life. i havelearned a lot from it.
i never forget last year’s school sports meeting. 1500-meter race was oneof the most exciting. before the race, my best friend xiaoshan had a goal to beno. 1. as a matter a fact, she is not so strong, but she is a sunny girl. she isactive and likes doing sports. what’s more, she tries her best to achieve thegoal, but i wonder if she is able to be the champion. there were eight playersin the race. on the first lap, she was in the sixth place; on the second lap,the took the fourth place, she went on running and she ran toward her goal, thegoal in her mind, look! on the last lap, she was the first to pass the finishingline, she was the winner. oh, great! she made it! congratulations!
at that time, i knew a goal was so necessary and important. i made adecision : “i want to take part in the english speaking competition held in myschool. what’s more, i will try my best to be no.1 in the competition as my bestfriend xiaoshan did in sports meet. ” i am sure of it. i still remembered whatmy english teacher said to us. he said :“if anyone took the first place in ourschool english speaking competition, he or she will be chose to take thecompetition held in jinjiang. it’s a great honor!”
though i can do well in my english written exams, however, to be honest, iam a little afraid to speak english in public. my english teacher oftenencourages me: “raoning, your voice sounds so beautiful, be brave, you willsucceed.” from then on, i kept a goal in mind. i said to myself aloud: stick toyour goal and you will win. and then i try my best to improve my oral englishand dare to speak either in class or after class. at last, i took part in thecompetition and became no. 1. i am chose to take part in the next year’s englishspeaking competition held in jinjiang. i said to myself aloud again: come on!you will win.
how time flies! today i am a lucky dog. i am very honored to give you aspeech. i hope everyone has a dream! in fact, we should work hard to make ourdream come true. otherwise it will become day dream. at the same time, i hopeeveryone has a goal in mind, because the goal is the first step to success. comeon, my friends, goal, goal, goal, success, success, success!
Good afternoon,ladies and gentlemen: My topic today is “The Internet Will Become More Popular.” The Internet,which was unfamiliar to human beings is totally accepted by most of people.Especially these days,it has been developing faster and faster,people do not have much time to do everything by themselves.So XXX full use of the Internet is a good way to color one's life.
For instance,students could learn more and more from all over the world so that they can broaden their horizon and enrich their knowledge.Absolutely,the bridge that connects the whole world is the Internet.Secondly,scientists and mathematicians,too,can share research results in order to promote the wheel of human society much more quickly.I suppose the key factor of importance of Internet is to find a good job .In the society which is full of competition,more information means more opportunities.A job hunter can get on the Internet to browse for a favorable job.Well,from what has been mentioned above,I believe with the high speed and efficiency,the Internet will become more and more popular among people in the near future.
Good morning , boys and girls. I am pu lijuan and glad to give you a speech about stress.
Psychologist tell us that stress is a state of worry caused by the problem of living , such as too much work or study , heavy responsibilities .
Statistics show that stress comes from every detail in our life . Financial problems , poor health , being laid off may be the stress that most adults now are suffering . As students in the university , we are also under our special stress . While study , having to take various tests and submit a project against a deadline may put a great pressure on us . And the things that make us felt stressed may 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 . I think we will worry a lot about our ability to compete in the job market and how we can best use what we’ve learned at college in our future job .
The chief problem we should face to is our attitude towards stress .People usually say they can not live in the sun except they escape from stress . It’s
unwelcome ! Yes , however , very necessary . Just image a world where stress does not exist and people lead their life in a very comfortable way . But is this kind of living condition as perfect as we hope ? Without
stress , they may feel very satisfied with the current life but lack of power to discover new things . Too much satisfaction result in nothing except a countermarch of the society . 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 with ourselves when stress suddenly break into our life ? To wave the white flag and admit our unability , to give up to our ideality , or worsely , just to suicide as to put an end to everything … Of cause not . The principle is to tackle with stress gently and
harmoniously. We should try our best to release
ourselves . Such as to do some exercise , to listen to t music to ease our minds and to learn to view these
changes of life as challenges .It’s no use crying over spilt milk . Only to accept what has happened can solve the problem .Ok , I think I was under large stress 5 minutes before , but now I am here and have finished my speech . Here is the last thing I want to add to my topic ,face to it and overcome it ,stress is also a piece of cake .
That is all . Thank you very much!
Over the past Spring Festival, I got involved in a family dispute. Right before I got home, four satellite channels of CCTV were added to the 14 channels we had already had. In prime time at night, they all had interesting shows. Therefore, the five of us-my parents, my sisters and I-had to argue over what to watch. Finally, we agreed that we should watch the "most interesting" program... If wecould agree what that was.
However, all of us there remember that for a long time after we had TV, there were only one or two channels available. The increase in options reveals an important change in our life: the abundance of choice.
Fifteen years ago we all dressed in one style and in one color. Today, we select from a wide variety of designs and shades.
Fifteen years ago, we read few newspapers. Today, we read English
newspapers like the China Daily and the 21st Century, as well as various Chinese newspapers.
Fifteen years ago, English majors took only courses in language and literature. Today, we also study Western culture, journalism, business communications, international relations, and computer science.
The emergence of choices marks the beginning of a new era in China's history; an era of diversity, of material and cultural richness, and an era of the rebirth of the Chinese nation.
We enjoy the abundance of choice. But this has not come easily.
About 150 years ago, China was forced to open up its door by Western canons and gunboats. It has been through the struggle and sacrifice of generations that we finally have gained the opportunity to choose for ourselves. The policy of reform and openness is the choice that has made all the difference.
Like others of my age, I'm too young to have experienced the time when the Chinese people had no right to choose. However, as the next century draws near, it is time to ask: What does choice really mean to us young people?
Is choice a game that relies on chance or luck? Is choice an empty promise that never materializes? Or is choice a puzzle so difficult that we have to avoid it?
First, I would like to say: To choose means to claim opportunities. I am a third-year English major. An important choice for me, of course, is what to do upon graduation. I can go to graduate school, at home or abroad. I can go to work as a teacher, a translator, a journalist, an editor and a diplomat. Actually, the system of mutual selection has allowed me to approach almost every career opportunity in China.
Indeed, this is not going to be an easy choice. I would love to work in such big cities as Beijing or Shanghai or Shenzhen. I would also love to return to my hometown, which is intimate, though slightly lagging in development. I would love to stay in the coastal area where life is exciting and fast-paced. I would also love to put down roots in central and western China, which is underdeveloped, but holdsgreat potential.
All of these sound good. But they are only possibilities. To those of us who are bewildered at the abundance of opportunities, I would like to say: To choose means to accept challenge.
To us young people, challenge often emerges in the form of competition. In the next century, competition will not only come from other college graduates, but also from people of all ages and of all origins. With increasing international exchanges, we have to face growing competition from the whole outside world. This is calling for a higher level of our personal development.
Fifteen years ago, the knowledge of a foreign language or of computer operation was considered merely an advantage. But today, with wider educational opportunities, this same knowledge has become essential to everyone.
Given this situation, even our smallest choices will require great wisdom and personal determination.
As we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also becomes more important.
As we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also becomes more important.
Nuclear power, for instance, may improve our quality of life. But it can also be used to damage the lives and possessions of millions.
Economic development has enriched our lives but brought with it serious harm to our air, water and health.
To those of us who are blind to the consequences of their choices, I would like to say, To choose means to take responsibility. When we are making choices for ourselves, we cannot casually say: "It's just my own business. " As policy makers of the next century, we cannot fail to see our responsibility to those who share the earth with us.
The traditional Chinese culture teaches us to study hard and work hard so as to honor our family. To me, however, this family is not just the five of us who quarreled over television programs. Rather, it is the whole of the human family. As I am making my choices, I will not forget the smile of my teacher when I correctly spelled out the word "China" for the first time, I will not forget the happy faces of the boys and girls we helped to send back to school in the mountains of Jiangxi Province. I will not forget the tearful eyes of women and children in Bosnia, Chechnya and Somali, where millions are suffering from war, famine or poverty. All these people, known and unknown, make up our big human family. At different points, they came into my life and broaden my perspective. Now as I am to make choices for myself, it is time to make efforts to improve their lives, because a world will benefit us all only if every one in it
can lead a peaceful and prosperous life.
In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy. While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults. High should be allowed more time for play. Playing is not wasting time, as some think. It gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination. Which tends to be stifled by too much study. Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally. I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork. I do think, however, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.
