How are you!Boys and girls.Today I’m glad to give the speech which the title is “As dream come ture”.First,please permit me introducing myself briefly to all of you.I come from gansu province ,and I have a harmonious and happinessful family.All above,I’ m a honest and little-words boy.At the same time,it’s seems that make great contributions is my born-hobbby.Now begin my speech..We all have dream..Yet so few of us fulfil them, often a dream dies as quickly as it is born because we lack the cnfidence to keep it.We need dreams.They give us a vision of a bettter future.They nourish our spirit,they represent possiblity even though we are dragged down by reality.Most of my life,I’m thinking,so as to enhance my values.Here I quote some sentences to reflect my minds.“Three passion,simple but overwheling strong,have govered my life:the longing for love,the search for knowledge,and the unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.These passion,like great winds,have blown me hitter and thither,in a wayward course over a deep ocean of anguish,reaching to the very verge of despair.”

University life is like drinking coke.I'm experiencing it.And I know, I enjoy it!

I would rather be myself.I would contribute my individual and unique colors to create a more diverse universe.Please, be myself.Dream flying our ordinary life is a dream, from the very moment of landing, we are a dream to come!Similarly, we left this world at the time, it will also be left with our own dreams.Call in the dream, we gradually grew up thinking of gradually mature, and have learned more and more, understand more and more.Our dream is also more and more content, more and more rich.One can not forget that book title mountain crossing the sea during the day and night;not forget that the coexistence of a bitter years of joy;not forget that a bit more respectable mentor taught......The face of the past, we open our minds and hearts of the door, bathed in sunlight to accept and listen to exhort the time, we dream of flying.Is to achieve the dream of the cornerstones of long-term vision;the dream is the beginning of the power savings.To this end, the respect of ethics,goodness,responsiblityand love.We will be ready at all times......Singing rooster dawn broke through the silence, awakened the dream of youth,with the aid of a weak but immorta belief, embarking on a new journey began.Eastern rising sun, leaving a string attached to their native land is the footprints of the feelings and give up.Goodbye dear land, we have our dreams, we all need to face new.The rudder has been fated into our own hands, taking our own route.Believe in ourself and work hardly, must be clear after dark.To do the masters of time, for every seconds, when the ship set sail hard, you are ready? Show your style and create brilliant tomorrow.Toralf Konetzke(托爾夫斯基)said that the sky did not leave traces of the birds, but I have been over.Is an eagle, it is necessary to fly across the sky, is a tree, it is necessary to cast a time, the courage to go flying,the courage to go into.I dream of1

flying, I believe we will be more brilliant tomorrow, tomorrow you will be more exciting.Cherish the present, should grasp the opportunity.Friends, the dream is flying now, let us gather in the glory of that day.As a conclusion,I’d rather to read the poet of Ebert Einsten.Let’s appreciate and think it.Hold fast to dreams,For if dreams die

Life is a broken-winged bird

That can never fly

Hold fast to dreams,For when dreams go

Life is a barren field

Frozen only with snow

Thank you!2

讓世界看見你的收獲，找回自己。

如果有人打擊你，走過去，不要回頭，你只須負責自己。

難道你不知道他們說的是真的，生活，不容易，但你的時機將會來到，千萬別停滯不進取。

夢想自己墜入了情網，自己想過的任何事情，當世界仿佛變得太艱難時，找回自己。

努力不為任何事擔憂，享受生活能帶來的好時光。

讓這一切留在你心里，得讓自己的感情流露。

幻想就是答案，因為你就是自己的命運。

你永遠不必孤獨，當時間支持著你。

難道你不知道他們說的是真的，這些事都是為了考驗你。

但你的時機將會來到，千萬別停滯不進取。

難道你不知道他們說的是真的，事情發生都有道理。但你的時機將會來到，千萬別停滯不進取。篇二：大學英語詩歌朗誦稿-副本

雪萊的西風頌

o wild west wind, thou breath of autumns being thou from whose unseen presence the leaves dead are driven like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing, yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red, pestilence-stricken multitudes!o thou who chariotest to their dark wintry bed the wingèd seeds, where they lie cold and low, each like a corpse within its grave, until thine azure sister of the spring shall blow her clarion oer the dreaming earth, and fill 10(driving sweet buds like flocks to feed in air)with living hues and odours plain and hill;wild spirit, which art moving everywhere;destroyer and preserver.hear, o hear!狂野的秋風啊，你這秋的精氣！沒看見你出現，枯葉已被掃空，像群群鬼魂沒見法師就逃避—— 它們或枯黃焦黑，或蒼白潮紅，真是遭了瘟災的一大片；你呀，你把迅飛的種子載送去過冬，讓它們僵睡在黑黢黢的地下，就像尸體在各自的墓里安躺，直到你那蔚藍的春天妹妹呀對夢鄉中的大地把號角吹響，叫羊群般的花苞把大氣吸飲，又讓山野充滿了色彩和芳香。狂野的精靈，你正在四處巡行，既拉朽摧枯又保護。哦，你聽！

你呀，亂云是雨和閃電的使者，正是在你震蕩長空的激流上閃電被沖得像樹上枯葉飄落，也從天和海錯綜的枝頭驟降：宛若有個暴烈的酒神女祭司把她銀發從幽暗的地平線上直豎向中天，只見相像的發絲在你洶涌的藍瑩瑩表面四起，宣告暴風雨的逼近。殘年瀕死，你是它挽歌，而正在合攏的夜便是它上接天穹的崇墓巨陵—— 籠著你聚起的全部水汽之力，而黑雨、電火和冰雹也都將從這濃云中迸發而下。哦，你聽！

thou who didst waken from his summer dreams the blue mediterranean, where he lay, 30 lulld by the coil of his crystàlline streams, beside a pumice isle in bai?s bay, and saw in sleep old palaces and towers quivering within the waves intenser day, all overgrown with azure moss, and flowers 35 so sweet, the sense faints picturing them!thou for whose path the atlantics level powers cleave themselves into chasms, while far below the sea-blooms and the oozy woods which wear the sapless foliage of the ocean, kn ow 40 thy voice, and suddenly grow gray with fear, and tremble and despoil themselves.o hear!我若是被你托起的一片枯葉；我若是隨你飛馳的一團云朵；我若是浪濤在你威力下喘息，分享你有力的沖動，那自由，哦！僅次于不羈的你；我若是仍然在我的童年時代，仍然能夠做你在天空邀游時的忠實伙伴—— 因為那時，奔得比你快也未必是夢想；那我就不會如此艱難，無須這樣哀求你。請把我掀起，哦，就當我是枯葉、云朵或浪濤！我，跌倒在人生荊棘上，滴著血！我，太像你：倔強、敏捷又高傲，但歲月的重負把我拴牢、壓倒。

讓我像森林一樣做你的詩琴，哪伯我的葉像森林的葉凋落！這兩者又美又悲的深沉秋音你那呼嘯的浩蕩交響會囊括。但愿你這剛烈的精神我也有！但愿一往無前的你也就是我！請把我已死的思想掃出宇宙，就像你為催新生把落葉掃除！而且憑著我這一詩歌的經咒把我的話語傳遍這人間各處，像由未滅的爐中吹送出火花！愿你通過我的嘴響亮地吹出喚醒這人世的預言號聲！風啊，冬天既快來，春天難道還遠嗎？篇三：大學英語詩歌朗誦稿1 time to say goodbye time to say goodbye 說再見的時候

大部分的人都想受人歡迎，但是并非每個人都能達到目標。受歡迎的秘訣何在?事實上是很簡單的。步驟一，先改善我們的外表。我們得確保自己很健康，并且穿著體面。當我們既健康又穿戴整齊時，不僅看起來更有精神，自己也會覺得好多了。此外，我們要保持微笑并表現得很友善。畢竟，臉部表情是外觀很重要的一環。如果我們能做到這一點，別人會被我們的美好外表所吸引，并對我們的自信印象深刻。

另一個重要步驟，就是培養對別人的體貼。永遠以他人為重，并把別人的利益放在自己的利益之前。當個好聽眾也是很重要的;如此一來，別人才能很自在地對我們吐露心事。然而，不管我們做什么事，絕對不要說閑言閑語。最重要的是，要做自己，不要當虛偽的人。只有對人真誠又尊重時，才能贏得他人的尊敬。如果我們能做到以上幾點，我相信受人歡迎是指日可待的事。

learn how to say no weve 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 cant say yes to every request.if we did, we would fail or go crazy for sure.sometimes we simply dont have the time to help.in this case, we must know how to say no politely.學習如何說不

我們都被教導說，我們應該要幫助別人。這是應該做的事，而且這樣做會使我們受人歡迎。它甚至會為我們贏得一些回報。但是，我們必須要實際一點。我們不能答應每一個要求。如果我們這么做，我們就一定會失敗或發瘋。有時候我們確實沒有時間去幫忙。既然如此，我們就必須知道如何有禮貌地說不。

當我們需要說不的時候，有個辦法我們可以試試。首先，我們應該要說實話。假如我們真的辦不到某件事，我們就應該說不。第二，我們應該記得要客氣地拒絕對方的要求。我們

必須清楚地表達，但態度也必須真誠并且表示同情。一個真正的朋友會諒解的。最后，我們不必為了說不而覺得有罪惡感。有時候拒絕別人才是我們應該做的事。它可以替我們自己和別人，都省下許多麻煩。總而言之，我們無法一直取悅每個人。拒絕請求是人生的一部分。

how to sell yourself by following the advice above, you are bound to make a good impression on potential employers.then you will be able to choose the best opportunity for you and take that first step towards success.如何自我推銷

在這個競爭激烈的社會中，為了得到你想要的工作，知道如何自我推銷是很重要的。也就是說，你必須能夠銷售你最好的特點，并把你最好的一面呈現出來。畢竟，第一印象定江山。

要在面試時表現出好的一面，你可以做幾件事情。首先，要看起來像個贏家。穿著保守而體面，會使你看起來像是就要成功了。第二，要能清楚地表達。仔細地考慮每個問題，并據實回答。記得要和對方有目光接觸，并保持良好的姿勢。你必須看起來專注而自在。第三，態度要積極而有自信。對你的能力有信心，并對你的未來感到樂觀是很重要的。最后，要充分準備。遞上一份專業的簡歷，并準備好詳細解釋每件事。

遵照以上的建議，你就一定會給可能成為你老板的那些人，留下好的印象。然后你就可以選擇對你而言最好的機會。并踏出邁向成功的第一步。responsibility is a badge of honour for youth(96年“21世紀杯全國大學生英語演講比賽”二等獎獲得者，北京外國語大學徐義成)im grateful that ive been given this opportunity, at such a historic moment, to stand here as a spokesman of my generation and to take a serious look back at the past 15 years, a crucial period for every one of us and for this nation as well.though it is only within my power to tell about my personal experience, and only a tiny fragment of it at that, it still represents, i believe, the root of a spirit which has been essential to me and to all the people bred by the past 15 years.in my elementary years, there was a little girl in the class who worked very hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons.the teacher asked me to help her, and it was obvious that she expected a lot from me.but as a young boy, restless, thoughtless, i always tried to evade her so as to get more time to enjoy myself.one day before the final exam, she came up to me and said, could you please explain this to me? i want very much to do better this time.i started explaining, and finished in a hurry.pretending not to notice her still confused eyes, i ran off quickly.nat surprisingly, she again did very badly in the exam.and two months later, at the beginning of the new semester, word came of her death of blood cancer.no one ever knew about the little task i failed to fulfill, but i couldnt forgive myself.i simply couldnt forget her eyes, which seem to be asking, why didnt you do a little more to help me, when it was so easy for you? why didnt you understand a little better the trust placed in you, so that i would not have to leave this world in such pain and regret? i was about eight or nine years old at that time, but in a way it was the very starting point of my life, for i began to understand the word responsibility and to learn to always do my duties faithfully and devotedly, for the implications of that sacred word has dawned on me: the mutual need and trust of people, the co-operation and inter-reliance which are the very foundation of human society.later in my life, i continued to experience many failures.but never again did i feel that regret which struck me at the death of the girl, for it makes my heart satisfied to think that i have always done everything in my power to fulfill my responsibilities as best i can.words like individuality and creativity are getting more emphasis and more people are rewarded for their hard work and efforts.such is the era in which this generation ,grows and matures.such is the era in which this generation will take over the nation from our fathers and learn to run it.yet in the meantime, many problems still exist.we learn that crimes take place in broad daylight with crowds of people looking on and not assisting.we hear that there are still about 1 million children in this country who cant even afford to go to elementary schools while enormous sums of money are being squandered away on dinner parties and luxury cars.we buy shoddy medicines, or merely worthless junk in the name of medicines, that aggravate, rather than alleviate our diseases since money, many people believe, is the most important thing in the world that must be made, even at the expense of morality and responsibility.such an era, furthermore, demands, that we are a generation with a clear perception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive will to take action and solve the problems.history has long been preparing these qualities in this generation and it is now calling us forward to give testimony to our patriotism and heroism towards this nation and all humanity.standing here now, i think of the past 15 years of my life as an ordinary student.probably ill be an ordinary man for the rest of my life.but this doesnt discourage me any, for i know that with my sense of responsibility and devoted efforts to always strive, for the best, its going to be a meaningful and worthwhile life that i will be living.i cant ever forget that little girl in my class who couldnt had the same opportunities as any of us here to enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopeful world tomorrow.it is the sacred responsibility of this generation to face up to the challenges of the new century and to devote our sweat and blood, our wisdom and passion, to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier land for every one of us.we are not going to evade that responsibility.we are going to let people down.and people, far and near, will hear of us.frost will be brought to their backbones and tears to their eyes when our stories are told and retold, so let us go forth, my fellow members of this luckily chosen generation, and meet the new century in victory and glory.責任感——青年人榮譽的標志

站在臺上面對大家，我心情十分激動。好像是在參加一次歷史性的長征。我們今天面對的遠不只一場競賽或角逐。這是才華出眾，生氣勃勃的中國青年的一次聚會。我們是青年一代的代表。為迎接新世紀的到來，我們正在從各方面作好準備。

在這一歷史時刻，能有機會代表同齡人在此認真地回顧于國于己都至關重要的過去的15年，我感激萬分。

盡管只能談談個人經歷，而且只涉及其中一個小小的片段，但我相信，它仍然折射出對我和在過去15年間一同成長起來的青年人都不可缺少的一種思想基礎。

我上小學時，班上有位小姑娘，學習非?？炭喽煽儏s不盡人意。

老師要我幫助她?？吹贸?，她也寄厚望于我。但我那時還是個小男孩，坐不住，不懂事。我老是me避她。以便有更多時間自己玩。

期末考試前一天，她來求我說“請你給我講解一下行嗎?這次我很想考得好一點?！蔽议_始給她講解，不一會兒便草草收場，假裝沒有察覺她迷茫的眼神，一溜煙兒地跑開了。不出所料，這次她又考砸了。兩個月后，新學期依始，傳來她死于血癌的消息。我沒有完成那項小小的任務，無人知曉。但我卻不能原諒自己。她的眼睛令我難以忘懷，仿佛在責問我，“你為什么不愿多幫助我呢?這對于你來說，并不費事。你為什么不能理解我對你的信賴，而讓我帶著痛苦和遺憾離開這個世界?”

我當時才八九歲。但從某種意義上講，這件事成了我生活的新起點。因為我開始體會到“責任”二字的意義，并盡心盡力地學著完成自己的義務。我也逐漸領會了這個神圣字眼的深刻內含:人與人之間的彼此需要和信任、合作和依賴正是人類社會存在的基礎。

之后，我在生活中又經受過多次失敗，但那小姑娘之死所引起的懊悔，心里卻不曾再現。想到自己做每一件事都能盡職盡責，一種滿足之感便油然而生。

此事及類似的多起事件改變了我，完善了我。當我長大成人，我開始領悟周圍發生的一切變化。我發現，從某種意義上說，社會跟我一樣，正處在一個自我完善的時期。新建筑、新商品、新款式一天一個樣。新思維、新信息、新技術層出不窮。即便萬里相隔，人們在轉瞬之間即可相互交談。社會競爭越演越烈。

人們越來越強調個性和創造性。越來越多的人因工作努力而受到獎賞。這就是當今的時代，一代新人由成長邁入成熟的時代。這是我們這一代人接替父輩治國安邦的時代。然而，我們也面臨很多間題。

據悉，壞人在光天化日之下作惡，周圍的群眾居然袖手旁觀，無動于衷。我還聽說，目前我國尚有100萬兒童連小學也上不起，而巨額資金卻拿去舉辦奢侈的宴會和購置豪華的轎車。我們常常買的是劣質藥品，或名曰藥品實為一文不值的廢物，非但不能除病去痛，反而會使病情加重。在某些人看來，世上金錢最寶貴，只要能賺錢，不惜犧牲道德和責任。

因而，這個時代賦予我們的是更強烈的競爭和效率意識，使我們更善于批判性地思考和創造性地行動。

此外，這個時代要求我們這一代人必須認清自己肩負的歷史重任，下定決心，采取行動，解決上述問題。長期以來，歷史一直在我們這一代人身上培養著這些品質?，F在，歷史呼喚我們挺身而出，以實際行動向全民族及全人類證實我們的拳拳愛國之心和大無畏的英雄主義。

此刻，我站在講臺上回顧15年來的學生生活。今后的歲月，我很可能平平淡淡地度過。但這絲毫不會讓我心灰意冷。因為我知道，憑借強烈的責任感和精益求精的不懈奮斗，我將追求一種有意義的生活，一種不枉此生的生活。

此刻，我站在講臺上回顧過去，15年來祖國取得的巨大成就激勵著千千萬萬的同齡人。我們之中大多數人將與名利和權力無緣。只有極少數人或許會后世留芳。對此我們絲毫也不會在意。因為我們知道，世界在觀望，世界在傾聽。在這個大量機遇和激烈竟爭并存的時代，我們國家究竟去向何方，整個世界都在關注。

我永遠不會忘記班上那位小姑娘。她本應該卻沒能和在座各位一樣享受今天美好的人生和明日充滿希望的世界。

接受新世紀的挑戰，把我們的血汗、智慧和熱情奉獻給建設祖國、造福人民的偉大歷史事業。這就是我們這一代人的神圣職責。

我們決不逃避責任，決不辜負人民的期望。我們的業績將四海傳揚。我們的故事將被反復講述，定會令人驚嘆不已，以至熱淚盈眶。

有幸與時代為伍的朋友們，讓我們勇往直前，以勝利的姿態迎接光輝燦爛的新世紀的來臨!演說者簡介】劉欣(1975一)，南京大學外國語學院英語系學生，在1995年底的校級英語演講賽中脫穎而出，代表南京大學參加1996年3月22日在北京舉行的“21世紀杯全國大學生英語演講比賽”.以《選擇的重要性》為題發表演說，奪得比賽第一名。knowing the consequences of choice 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 programme...if we could 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 colour.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篇三：大學生英語演講賽話題選編
