英语简短演讲稿 篇1
Three years ago, when Tyrone Duncan was jobless, recovering from a spinal injury and a stintin a homeless shelter, some volunteers at his transitional housing site encouraged him to run with them as they trained for a race.
So it’s no surprise when Duncan says running turned his life around. He is far from the only person in sneakers to make that claim. A growing number of national organizations are using the sport to help kids and adults facing such challenges as homelessness, drugs and cancer. They have a variety of names — Back on My Feet, Achilles International, Alex’s Lemonade Stand, Run to Recover — but all have turned to running for the psychological and physiological benefits that training for a race can bring.
三年以前，泰隆邓肯失业了，他当时呆在一个无家可归者收容所，恢复受伤的脊椎。就在他这个过渡的住所里，一些志愿者鼓励他和他们一起跑步。当时，这些志愿者正在为比赛做训练。
所以，当邓肯说跑步改变了他的一生，这一点都不为奇。他远不是唯一这样说的运动者。(目前，)越来越多的国内组织正在利用体育运动来帮助孩子和成年人面对无家可归、毒品和癌症等挑战。这些组织有各种各样的名字，比如：运动康复、阿基里斯国际、亚历克斯的柠檬水摊、跑出健康等，但所有这些组织都为了同一个目的：即利用跑步训练来使人身心受益。
英语简短演讲稿 篇2
Dear teacher and classmates:
I am very glad to make a speech here in this class again! This time, I would 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. I will 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.
亲爱的老师和同学们。
我很高兴能在这里做一次演讲!这一次,我想谈谈英语。
我喜欢英语。英语语言目前应用到世界的各个角落。它已经成为最常见的语言在互联网上,为国际贸易。学习英语使我自信,为我带来极大的乐趣。
我7岁时,我妈妈叫我去找一个英语培训学校。在那里,我玩游戏,而且唱英文歌曲和其他的孩子一起玩。然后我发现那美丽的语言,并开始了我的英语世界的五彩缤纷的梦。
每天,我读英语的磁带。有时候,我看英语卡通片。
在周末,我常去英语角。通过与不同的人交谈,除了提高我的英语口语之外我还有越来越多的朋友。
我希望我能有一天能够环游世界。我想去美国访问华盛顿纪念碑,因为总统华盛顿是我的偶像。当然,我想去伦敦,因为英国英语语言的发展。如果我可以骑我的自行车在剑桥大学,我将会非常高兴。
我希望我能说流利的英语和世界上的每一个人。介绍中国,如长城、故宫、鞍山。
我知道,罗马不是一天建成的。我相信,经过不断努力,总有一天我的英语讲得很好。
如果你想被爱,你就应该学着去爱别人,并让自己可爱。所以我相信我爱英语日常时,它将会爱我。
英语简短演讲稿 篇3
What are the opportunities? Some people say that opportunity is like a beauty! When you met or you do not grasp the courage to get to know her, she will be fleeting, or by others as she would sure have. And when you realize that, she has not! Only "hate free" the.
Some people always complain about life and work, there is no Bole Chollima find themselves in this piece to their own development opportunities and space. So obscure, mediocre and incompetent. But I also think that the opportunity is grasped in its own hands, we must strive to create their own. Only your hard work is paid, and are prepared to do, and will be given the opportunity.
College of Technology a few days before the primary science teaching and research staff to inform me to Shenyang to participate in the "Central Research Institute for Education and Research Center for Science Education in primary schools sponsored by the Second National (Northeast) Primary science class selection of quality seminars." For me this is not the formal for the science teacher is really a great, unique learning opportunities. This is from last semester to participate in talking about the essay contest, I am usually very concerned about education as a result of teaching activities, the regular education to the county Web site to see, there are no suitable to participate in the activities of their own, once I saw the call for the provincial colleges of education in primary science papers and instructional design. I found all levels of teaching materials and reference materials, and online instructional design carefully reading the wording of science, because since the work I have been engaged in the mathematical disciplines, mathematics is the primary and for a science or a layman, but since we must do a good job to do. I will be a good topica class, began to try to figure out how to write lesson plans in order to have innovation, do not fall into the familiar sets, as well as learning the value of certain. sought after I finished teaching at a renowned teacher, he believes that line, I only sent to College of Technology lesson plans. but it was not until this semester , College of Technology only notified to the participating provinces, but also published in book publishing.
Although the school has three full-time science teacher, but because of age, some cling to the idea of fields, so the school activities in the scientific disciplines are always blank.刘校长I am seeking to see progress, work must be enforced vigorously. Let me declare Members of the College of Technology teaching and research in teacher training teacher backbone "activities. also my personal teaching ability is also excellent, I am very glad that the selection in the College of Technology, I selected those who have become. (This also indicates that I would like to in the scientific disciplines continue to enrich their own teaching ability, after a lot of teaching and learning activities to take part, and it is difficult to pay work)
And刘校长talk about this matter, I said she would like to thank for giving me the opportunity to declare the training of teachers, have the opportunity to learn to go out. And she said that if work is not your personal efforts, I simply did not expect to declare your. Opportunity for everyone is equal is the chance to create your own, set up a bridge for better progress. As long as you are not afraid of suffering, the future you will be in the scientific disciplines of the results.
It can be said that some teachers taught in science classes for many years did not become the subject of teacher training, but also there has been little success. I can not say that God favored me in particular, care, giving me the opportunity, but I am down-to-earth, step by step and be prepared to usher in the work of a good teaching opportunity, I will seize this rare opportunity to make our improvements!
机遇是什么？有人说机遇就像一个美女!当你遇见的时候你不去把握或者没胆量去结识她的话，她就会稍纵即逝，或者她会被别人所把握，所拥有。而当你意识到的时候，她已不在！只能“空余恨”了。
有些人总是在生活和工作中抱怨，没有伯乐发现自己这匹千里马给自己发展的机会和空间。所以才默默无闻，平庸无能。但我更认为机遇是把握在自己手中的，要由自己去创造争取。就是只有你付出辛苦了，有准备的去做了，才会获得机会。
前几天进修学校的小学科学教研员通知我去沈阳参加“中央教育科研所小学科学教育研究中心主办的全国第二届(东北区)小学科学优质课评选研讨会”.对于我这个不正规的科学老师来说真是一次天大的、难得的学习机会.这话要从上学期参与的论文比赛说起,我平时由于很关注教育的教学活动,经常到县教育网站看看,有没有适合自己参加的活动,有一次我看到了省教育学院征集小学科学学科的论文和教学设计.我就找来各年级的教材和参考资料,又到网上细心阅读科学教学设计的`写法,因为参加工作以来我一直从事数学学科,对于小学数学是轻车熟路,而对于科学还是一个门外汉,但既然要做就要做好.我定好课题一课后,就开始揣摩怎么才能把教案写的有创新,不落入熟套,还有一定的学习价值.我写完以后又征求了教学上有名望的老师的意见,他认为行了,我才把教案送到进修学校.但直到这学期开学,进修学校才通知送到省里参评,还可以在出版的书中发表.
虽然学校有3个专职的科学教师,但都因为年龄大,有些固守田园的思想,所以学校在科学学科的活动中总是一片空白.刘校长看我很求上进,做事雷厉风行.就让我申报了进修学校教研员帮带骨干教师培养名师”活动.也是我的个人教学能力还过硬,很庆幸在进修学校的评选中,我却成为入选者.(这也预示着我要在科学学科上不断丰富自己的教学能力，以后要参加很多教学活动的，也是要付出艰辛的劳动的)
和刘校长谈论起这件事时,我说要感谢她给了我申报培训名师的机会,才有了外出学习的机会.而她却说如果没有你个人工作上的努力,我是根本想不到要申报你的。机会对于每个人来说是均等的,是你自己创造的机会,架设好了进步的桥梁.只要你不怕苦，以后你还会在科学学科上出成绩的。
可以说有些老师教了很多年的科学课也没有成为培养名师的对象，也没有取得什么成绩。而我不能说是上帝对我特别青睐、关照，给了我机遇，而是我扎扎实实的、一步一步的有准备的工作才迎来了美好的教学机遇，我会抓住这次难得的机遇让自己的工作不断进步！

Since we have received education， we are told that drugs are horrible and they can destroy our life completely。 In the TV， the news reported the disasters that drugs would bring， but still there were so many young people had been seduced to take drugs。 During recent years， some famous stars were caught by the policemen。 They took drugs and brought the negative information to the public。 As a result， their career was ended and they couldn't appear in the screen。 The young people is the future of a country， but they are easy to be seduced by criminal behaviors。 They want to try something new and go against the law。 It is unwise to try drug， because it is hard to recover。 Without strong will， life will be ruined。 We should stay away from drugs。

英语简短演讲稿 篇5
Skill comes from practice
During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a skilled archer. One day he drew a big crowd while he was practicing on the drill ground. He shot so accurately that the on-lookers cheered with excitement. He became very proud of his skill. But among the crowd an old oil peddler only nodded his head indifferently. This hurt his Pride.
“Can you do this?” he asked the old oil peddler. “No, I can’t.”
“What do you think of my skill?”
“Just OK, but nothing special. You’ve gained your accuracy from persistent practice. That’s all.”
“What can you do, then?” the old man said nothing. He put a gourd bottle on the ground and covered its mouth with a copper coin. He then scooped out a ladle of oil from his big jar, held it high and began to fill the bottle.
Now, a thread of oil came down from the ladle into the bottle just through the hole of the coin. Everybody looking on watched with amazement. But the old man said, “This is nothing special, I can do this because I have practiced it a lot.” And with these words, he left.
Later, people use this phrase to mean “Practice makes perfect”.
北宋时期，有个技艺高超的射手。有一天，他在训练场上练习射箭，引来了一大群人观看，大家都称赞他的技艺，他感到非常骄傲。但他发现人群中有个卖油翁只是淡淡的点点头，这使得他很不高兴。
他就问那老头：“你会射箭吗?”
“不会。”
“你认为我的技术如何?”
“一般。没什么特别的，你只能对付固定的东西，仅此而已。”
“你会干什么?”
这个老头没有回答。他把一个葫芦放在地上，接着把一枚铜钱放在瓶口。然后从他的大油壶里舀起一勺油。
从高处往放在地上的葫芦里倒。只见那油就像线一样从铜钱中间的小洞里滴下去，一滴都没有漏出来。围观者都惊呆了。而这个卖油翁却说：“其实没什么大不了的，只不过是天天练的结果。”说完，他就离开了。
后来，人们用“熟能生巧”这个成语来表示熟练了就能作得好。

关于金钱英语演讲稿:钱不是万能的money is not very important, but very very important.
if there is no money, i can’t use this microphone to speak to you and we can’t have such a room to hold such a competition. without money, we can’t study in such a schoolyard. without money, we can’t live in such a hometown. without money, we can’t have such a motherland. on the other hand, if there is no money, you don’t need to bear my speech about money of us have dreams about the future, dreams of having a good job and making much money. surely someone has thought at times “if only i had a lot of money, i could be the happiest person in the world.” in fact it’s the main mistake that people make about money.
however, is money the road to happiness? not really! many people work every day, work overtime, work weekends to make a lot of money. are they happy? no. they are too busy making money. meanwhile, their personal lives, if they have any, fall apart. they have no time to form or to maintain friendship. they even lose the abilities to relax and to enjoy themselves. enjoying means taking things, taking time to see, to hear, to taste, to smell, to feel. they do not take time to do this. they say: “i’ll do it when i have enough money to retire” then they find that it is too lat

大家好，我今天演讲的题目是“我的梦想”。
每个人都有梦想，而且很好，我也不例外。我有一个小小的梦想，当我达到目标时，我会实现更多的梦想。开始，我还是个婴儿，一心想变得很强壮，像少林寺里的孩子一样，武功高强。但是我觉得离开父母去很远的地方练武，辛苦，有点舍不得。小时候，我有一个梦想，我希望我有钱。大人问：小姑娘，有了钱你打算怎么办？我要去买泡泡糖"如果你有很多钱？
我打算买很多泡泡糖。"如果你有钱花的话？我会买泡泡糖工厂。"天真的童年我们的确有一颗善良的心，幸福和快乐是同一首曲子。
慢慢进入小学，课程越来越深，知识越来越多。会感受到压力。现在我有一个梦想。我希望我没有；我每天没有很多作业要做。玩的有点剥夺，而我们40%的日子都禁锢在教室里，很多时间都在学习。但是在学习面前，是一种模糊的知识。俗话说，一种罕见的困惑。对事物的理解，从封建主义到资本主义，越大越觉得自己的观点是正确的。每天放学回家后忙了一天一夜的课，他又困又累，吃不到深夜吃的食物。这样的生活很单调，可能有时候会想念我的很多小学同学，有时候会带着一节课或者一副朦胧的睡相。讨厌死板的校服，我从来不到处穿。周六，周日；时间很短，孩子很想磨炼，慢慢了解生活；太难了，努力吧，梦想好了，我会努力让每个人都生活起来，早起晚睡，把握住自己，不再松懈。我也想为他们的梦想而奋斗。
我的演讲结束了，谢谢！
英语简短演讲稿 篇8
if you want to understand adversity， take two identical acorns from the same oak tree and plant them in two different locations。 plant the first in the middle of a dense forest， and the other on a hill by itself。
要是你想理解什么是逆境，就去拿两颗从同一棵树上摘下来年龄相同的橡树果，并且把它们种到不同的地方。第一颗种在浓密的树林当中，而另外一颗则单独种在一座山上。
here's what will happen。 the oak standing on a hillside is exposed to every storm and gale。 as a result its roots plunge deep into the earth and spread in every direction， even wrapping themselves around giant boulders。 at times it may seem the tree isn't growing fast enough—but the growth is happening underground。 it's as if the roots know they must ported the tree from the threatening elements。
事情的结果便是这样。那颗长在山上的橡树经历了大风大雨，结果它的根深深地扎进了泥土中间，并不断向四周扩张，甚至把自己置身于巨大的石块当中。有时它可能看起来长的不是很快，但这时它却在地下悄悄生长着，好像它的根知道自己必须快速生长来保护树木免受自然危害的影响。

英语简短演讲稿 篇11
Thank you very much!非常感谢！在接下来的时间里，我将和大家一起分享一下学英语的苦辣酸甜。最主要的，是想通过我在北大六年教学经历、美国六年生活经历、“新东方”六年教学经历，来和大家交流一下怎能样尽快的提高大家的listeing and speaking comprehensions.
我的经历具体是这样的：我是1980年从内蒙古考到北大的，比大家高了好多届。我在北大学英文，然后又在北大教书。教书六年之后，在1990年，我求学到美国。我发现到了，美国一下飞机，我一句话也听不懂。当时我想，至少我学了几年英文，所以打算继续学英文。正在我在考虑到哪里去的时候，我听到一种说法，叫做everybody in American can speak English。那么我又怎么能够在美国赚钱呢？所以，我必须改变这个想法。于是我该学了学计算机。计算机硕士毕业以后，我在美国的贝尔实验室做了两年的软件工程师。在1995年，“新东方”的创始人俞敏洪来到了美国，在他的建议下，我有回国，开始参加“新东方”的创建。我和俞敏洪在北大是同班同学——“新东方”的五个“创业元老”里有三个是北大的同学。除了我们两个还有一个是“新东方”的图书总策划包凡一老师，他是“新东方”的写作专家。我在大学时代是他们的班长，他们两个当时是全班最落后的学生。我那时的主要精力和时间都花在每天晚上陪他们两个在湖畔散步，劝
他们不要跳下去。我告诉他们说：“你们将来一定会成才的。”到了96年，我在新东方担任副校长的时候，有一个大学生就问我说：“王老师，你上大学时四年都是他们的班长，你现在却是他们的副校长，你的心理平衡怎么找？”我说：“不用找，我现在心理是最平衡的。我当初当班长最大的夙愿就是帮助这两个后进青年成才。今天看到他们已经纷纷成才了，我的夙愿已经了了。平衡彻底找到了。”——我们的确都要找到一个平衡的方法，只有心态平衡下来，你才能够干成伟大的事业。
在美国的时候我学计算机之前，还有一段小插曲。那就是我险些报考了哈佛的人力学系。我离开北大之后，吸引我的学校只有两所，一所是英国的牛津大学，就是Oxford University；另一所呢就是Harvard University。那时候，哈佛大学人力学系的系主任，对我进行了面试之后觉得可以录取我，并且提出可以给我提供五年的Scholarship。他说：“你只要答应我一个条件，”我说：“什么条件？”——这个教授研究的是非常偏的一个科目，所以招生好多年都没有找到一个合适的学生。他是在人力学系研究中国文化中苗族文化的。——他说：“只要你跟我学苗语，我就给你奖学金。”我说：“可以。”但是，我冷静下来之后想：我拿了这些钱，在五年之内，过的是天上人间的日子。就算不能从哈佛大学毕业，也能够肄业。将来至少能够跟孙子夸口说，爷爷当年进过哈佛。但是这还不行，因为我拿到这个学位，最终的目的是要找个饭碗。我就考虑，在北美这样大片的土地上，有多少地方需要我这样的人才呢？——苗族文化专家。通过“研究”，我发现，全北美只有一个地方需要，就是哈佛大学、人力学系、这位老师。所以，如果全北美只有一个机会，他的目标里只有我一个人，那么这个机会对我来说是百分之百的！但是，五年之后，我仍然处于一个非常劣势的地位。我如果能在哈佛大学拿到学位，接下来的梦想就是当上哈佛大学的教授、终身教授。美国大学关于终身教授的规定：只要这个教授不去世，你就别想替代他。我想，万一我六十岁就“夭折“了，那位教授八十多岁还健在，我也还是助教。想到这儿，我就对那位教授说：“I want to learn something different。”
当时是1990年，计算机在美国变得popular。而且招生的指标还有70个，我觉得这是个attract opportunity，于是决定学计算机。如果学计算机，我就可以成为一个“计算机科学家”，就可以make money。但当时，我已经十年没摸过数学了，计算机也从来没有接触过。我想，我能不能学计算机呢？我用亚里士多德的“三段论”来推导这个问题：计算机是人发明的东西，凡是人都应该懂人发明的东西。最后，如果我学不了计算机，我就不是人。得出这个结论之后，我就要做一些实际的调查，看一看计算机到底是什么。我到了纽约最大的书店，看看计算机架上到底有些什么书。其中有两架书，
上面都有两个共同的词，这两个词深深地吸引了我，那就是programming languages。我看见的.其实只有一个词：languages。这个词说明我与计算机是有关系的——我想，汉语是一种language，英文是我的first foreign language，法语是我的二外语，德语是第三外语。这个“编程语言”与我所会的这四门语言一定有共同的地方，所以才能一样叫语言。于是，我就挑了一本书，看自己能不能读懂，结果发现没有一页读懂的。但是我发现了编程中很重要的一样东西，是逻辑流程。我就靠这两点——语言和逻辑，和纽约州立大学计算机系的系主任约会，说：“我是一个非常优秀的人才，你必须录取我。”他看了我的成绩单以后，说：“可是，你在北大学习的四年中，没有一门课程与教学和计算机有关。”我说：“请等一下，我给你陈述一下你为什么必须要我——哈佛大学正在在考虑录取我呢！另外，我有三点非常强的优势。第一，计算机与其他机器相比最重要的特点是它能安装软件，那么什么是软件呢？”他说：“programs 。”我又问：“那么我们用什么来写这个programs呢？”他说：“language。”我说：“那你再看看我的成线单，最重要的一个词是什么？”老师说：“language。”我说：“我已经掌握了四门语言，再学一门方言是易如反掌。”教授说：“有道理。”然后我又说：“计算机能够工作，它离不开人预设的逻辑。我在北大做了六年老师，做老师最大的特点就是训练一个人的逻辑思维结构。我已经
完成了作为一个计算机工作者最基本的训练。第三点，我是搞English的，受到的是想象力的训练。想象力，冠以科学术语就是抽象能力、能够把复杂的东西变成简单的问题的能力。这三点加起来，我足以和这些学计算机的本科学生抗衡了。”他说：“very interesting！你可以把你刚才说的东西写成论文来发表。”我说：“我今天来的目的不是要写文章，是要求你录取我。”他说：“好！”我就这样被录取了。当然，此后的学习过程是暗无天日的，但我还是坚持下来了。我用了半年时间补习了美国大学计算机本科四年的所有主干课程，以全A的成绩进入了硕士研究生的学习。然后用两年读完了硕士课程，在毕业的前夕又非常幸运地进入了美国最好的计算机公司——贝尔实验室。，这时的我沉浸在一个中产阶级的生活里，一个科学工作者成功的兴奋里。
