CHINESE

EDUCATION

Written by Tian Chu Qi

Good morning,everyone!I’m very glad to give you this speech.Today ’s topic is China.Then I want to say something about us-Chinese students,Chinese teachers and Chinese schools.In total,today,my topic is Chinese education that many people call examination oriented education.So,what’s the difference between Chinese education and foreign education? Such as class size,teaching method,exercise and exam,they are all different.But I think the biggest one is the educational idea.The West pay more attention to cultivating the kid’s individuality.But in china,the kids are gowning in the high pressure environment.Because of that ,many people query Chinese education.Under these circumstances,I want to clarify a few things.Firstly,in China,cooperation is more important than personality.Many people think there are too many students in China in one class.But I want to say,China is a big country.It’s not only in location,but also in population.The education pressure of Chinese government can’t be compared with the West’s.So,as a Chinese student,devoting yourself to study group is most important.It doesn’t mean you can’t have your own things,but let you integrate into the collective and find the right place for yourself to show your abilities.Secondly,the fair competition of college entrance examination system will give the students who are going to enter the society a best lesson.Many people think the students’ competition in China is too cruel.The students are too young and the pressure is too heavy.But integrating into the work environment,also needs compressive capacity.And this can’t get free when we reach a certain age,but developing in the high pressure environment.The college entrance examination may be cruel,but at least it’s fair.You may feel tired or stressed,but at least you have hope to change destiny by knowledge.so,face it and adapt to it.The last but not the least,now,China isn’t strong enough,so the students must make more efforts to achieve the Chinese Dream.The international competition of a new generation depends on the teenagers of different countries.The future is ours and its also our country’s.The sweat of effort will be the best nourishment to irrigate our motherland.Chinese education isn’t the tough infliction by the Chinese government,but the requirement of modern society and the essential experience to live in the country of 1400000000 population.If you want to know China,then you must know Chinese education and through it to see the progress of the modern society of China.

演講稿：Prepared Speech

Honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen, good morning.First of all, let me take this chance to present to you a set of data that I hope won't bore you since the source is China Daily.China's tourism revenue last year reached 500 billion RMB, an increase of 10.5 percent from the year before, and comprised more than 5% of China's GDP.According to experts, this number will grow to 8% in the coming ten years and more than 40 million jobs will be created.As a student majoring in economics, I can't be more sensitive to the essential meanings behind these numbers.They mean progress, prosperity, employment and stability.However, as a conscientious Chinese and citizen of the world, I can't help but care more about the losses incurred in this transaction, by which I mean the disturbing images of environmental destruction, which leads to ecological crisis.The global environment has changed for the worse during the past few years, and tourism is partly to blame.Take China for example, in order to attract tourists, many unknown places are built into resorts.Forests are cleared, prairies trampled, rivers and lakes 6)contaminated, wild animals are driven away, plants jeopardized and secluded populations disturbed.If this seems too remote and abstract, my own traveling experience may speak louder here.Last year I took a tour around Emei Mountain in Sichuan Province.Like most tourists, I was eager to embrace nature and enjoy its beauty.However, as soon as I got on the bus, the stench of gasoline and the noise of the engine tainted my appreciation of the wonderful scenery and the tranquility of the country road.When we finally arrived, what I saw was not a beautiful landscape but crowds of people;what I heard was not the melodious singing of birds, but yelling and bargaining from the gift shops;what I smelled was not the fresh mountain air, but stinking suffocating smoke coming out of small dirty restaurants.Moreover, I could not understand why the lovely monkeys living there had to take photos with tourists all day;why the beautiful butterflies and flowers had become lifeless samples in shop windows;why the strongest impressions I had was trash scattered everywhere on the ground.However, this is not the end of the story.Before I left Emei, I met a group of kids in an ecotourism program with the slogan: “Experiencing, Learning and Protecting.” When I saw their young hands picking up trash from the ground, when I felt their enjoyment and harmonious relationship with the animals, when I found their purest eyes filled with passion and love for nature, I realized to my

great satisfaction that there doesn't have to be a tradeoff between tourism and ecology, because deep within us is an inclination toward natural beauty and a desire to protect it.Yes, environmental problems will eventually ease with the advancement of science and technology and improvement of our management system.However, an increase of ecological education and hands-on environmental involvement of our fellow citizens will do even better.To realize this, the best way for us lies in tourism itself because nothing other than nature can teach us how to love and cherish our sweetest home.At the end of my speech, please let me quote Bob Dylan:

How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man?

How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?

How many years can a mountain exist before it's washed to the sea?

The answer, my friend, is not in the wind-the answer is ours!Thank you!

第四篇：英語比賽演講稿

Don’t put off till tomorrow what should be done today.今日事今日畢

When we were at young age, we have been told that never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.However, there are still many people who like putting off the things they should do today until tomorrow.They have no plans for their work and their time.As a result, they will not accomplish their goals in the end.很多年輕人經常會被告知，“今天的事情，今天要完成”，但是依然又很多人愛拖延，老是今天拖到明天，明天拖到后天。他們對自己的工作和時間沒有計劃與安排。結果，最終未能實現自己的追求與目標。

We know that “Time is money”.“Time is life.” when time is gone, it will never return.This is the reason why we must value time.And it is a pity that there are a lot of people who don’t know the importance of time.And I was ever one of them.我們都知道“時間就是金錢”“時間就是生命”。時光匆匆，從未再現---這就是為什么我們一定要珍惜時間的原因。但是, 很遺憾依然有很多人沒有意識到時間的重要性，而我曾經也是。

I was not able to go to school in time because of getting up late.I was punished by the teacher because I didn’t finish my homework on time.I was blamed by my friends because I was always late for our date.I wasted lots of time on shopping、watching TV and chatting.I ever thought that I can catch the time.In fact, nobody can catch the time.我曾經因為懶床晚起二而上學遲到，因為沒有按時完成作業而被老師處罰，因為和朋友約會經常遲到而被責罵。我曾經浪費了很多時間在逛街，追劇和朋友聊天上。我以為我能抓住時間的尾巴，而事實上又有誰能抓住時間呢？

In a word, we should get into the good habit of saving time.Don’t put off what can be done today until tomorrow.Laziness will not only bring us troubles, but also let us miss lots of opportunity for success.總之，我們要養成珍惜時間的好習慣：今日事今日畢。拖拉不僅會給我們帶來煩惱與麻煩，還會讓我們錯失很多成功的機遇。

That’s all.Thank you for listening.我的演講結束，謝謝您的聆聽

演講稿 from walls to bridges im studying in a city famous for its walls.all visitors to my city are amazed by the imposing sight of the city walls, silhouetted by the setting sun with gold and shining lines.with old, cracked bricks patched with lichen, the walls are weather-beaten guards, standing still for centuries in protecting the city.our ancestors liked to build walls.they built walls in beijing, xian, nanjing and many other cities, and they built the great wall, which snakes through half of our country.they built walls to ward off enemies and evil spirits.this tradition has been maintained to this day as we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public.i grew up at the foot of the city walls, and ive loved them since my childhood.for a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world.my perception, however, changed after a hiking trip to the eastern suburbs, a scenic area of my city.my classmates and i were walking with some international students.as we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by taller and taller trees, which formed a huge canopy above our heads.suddenly an international student asked me, where is the entrance to the eastern suburbs? were already in the eastern suburbs, i replied.he seemed taken aback, i thought you chinese have walls for everything.his remark set off a heated debate.at one point, he likened our walled cities to jails, while i insisted that the eastern suburbs were one of the many places in china that had no walls.that debate had no winners, but i did learn a lot from this international student.for instance, he told me that universities like oxford and cambridge were not surrounded by walls;the campuses were just part of the cities.i have to admit that we do have many walls in china, and as we are developing our country, we must carefully examine them, whether they are physical or intangible.we will keep some walls but tear down those that impede chinas篇二：3-5分鐘英語演講稿(30篇)最好英語演講稿匯總3——5分鐘英語演講稿匯總（30篇）

六、周怡雪，19歲，上海 i believe in our future honorable judges, fellow students: good afternoon!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 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.我對未來充滿信心

尊敬的評委，各位同學：

下午好！最近，社會上有一場很激烈的爭論。大學生是一種稀有特權的享有者，在很棒的地方接受高等教育。但是，我們能面對挑戰而無所畏懼嗎？我們能夠改善他人的生活嗎？我們能夠承擔建設祖國未來的重任嗎？

懷疑論者說大學生是被寵壞的一代，一丁點挫折都受不了。但是他們錯了，我所看到的大學生正在努力的學習獨立生活。我們互相幫助打掃衛生，一起上街砍價購物，一起參加兼職工作來賺零花錢。

懷疑論者說我們除了成績什么都不關心，從而忽略了性格的培養。但是，他們又錯了。我們彼此關心，我們向往自由，我們珍惜公正，我們追求真理。上個星期，很多我的同學去驗血，為了給患血癌的孩子貢獻自己的力量。

作為大學生，我們是處在人生分水嶺的青年。我們都面臨一個重要的選擇：懷疑人生還是相信自己，每一種都會給我們的人生帶來重大的影響，甚至影響我們祖國的未來。我相信我們的同學們，雖然我們依然缺乏經驗，甚至有些志氣，但是我相信我們有勇氣和自信來面對生活的挑戰并承擔我們的責任。我們正努力準備接受新的任務，用我們所學習的知識將世界變得更美好。我對我們的未來充滿信心。

change the ingredients of your life if kindness is added to a strange you will have a friend;but if hostility is added, you will have an enemy.if love is added to a pile of red bricks you will have a home, but if hatred is add to those bricks , you will have an concentration camp.so my dear friend, if faith, hope, love, endurance are added to your life, you will find the confidence to conquer your limitation and embrace new challenges.and hopefully with my speech included, you will have a fantastic speech contest.改變生活的味道

這是一杯白開水，平淡無味，對吧？可是加上點糖呢，他嘗起來會有甜味；如果加的是蘇打水，味道就會變苦。人生同樣如此——個中滋味在于我們的選擇。

善待他人，你會擁有朋友；但如果充滿惡意，則會多個敵人。將愛賦予一堆紅磚，你會擁有一個家；用仇恨來澆鑄這堆紅磚，就會鑄成一座集中營。

因此親愛的朋友們，不要抱怨人生乏味，世間無望。不喜歡生活的味道，那就換一換生活的調料吧！

三年前，我重達100多公斤，這給我帶來了很多尷尬和挫折：體育課老是不及格，總被女孩們嘲笑，更不敢當眾發表意見。幸而由于祖母的鼓勵，我不在消極人生，而是充滿自信。她曾經說過：“孩子，如果體形無法改變，為什么不把它看做自己獨特的風格呢？” 我開始這樣來審視人生，通過改變生活的視角，我信心大增地去改變我的人生，很快就發現一個嶄新的世界。

朋友們，將信念，希望，愛意和忍性溶入生命，你就會找到自信，克服缺點，迎接人生新的挑戰。最后我的演講包括在內，希望你會看到一場精彩的演講比賽。

十六、楊穎，21歲，海南 when two cultures meet, there may be things in one culture, which do not fit into the tradition of the other.when this happens, we need to learn to understand and respect the customs of another culture.then there are certain things some people may not like.to this, i will say, if you do not like it, please try to tolerate it.to learn to tolerate what you personally don’t like is a great virtue at a time when different cultures mix and merge.before us, there are two rivers, eastern and western cultures.at present, they may run in different courses.but eventually, they will converge into the vast sea of human culture.right now, i can see peoples of eastern and western cultures, standing side by side, singing the olympic theme song: we are hand in hand, heart to heart, together we will shape a beautiful tomorrow!thank you!讓我們共同感受東西方的融合吉卜林說過:東方是東方，西方是西方，二者永不相聚。但是一個世紀后的今天，東西方相匯了!它們相聚在經濟領域，它們相聚在教育領域，它們相聚在藝術的殿堂。有人爭論說:這種融合需要我們在東方和西方之間做出選擇，但我卻堅信最美好的未來在于東方和

西方創造性的融合。我們可以將西方的思想，觀念和技術變為我們自己所用的東西。我喜愛京劇和河南豫劇，因為它們經常使我想起自己是誰。但我也熱衷于流行音樂，特別是英文歌曲。于是我將東方的旋律和西方的語言結合到了一起，它叫做西方版的河南豫劇。

當兩種文化相結合的時候，也許一方的文化中的某些東西不適應另一方的傳統文化。當此種情況出現時，我們需要試著理解并接受另一種文化中的風俗習慣。然而，也許有些東西你并不喜歡，對于此，我可以說，如果你不喜歡它，請試著去容忍它。當兩種文化融合的時候，試著去容忍你個人不喜歡的東西是一種美德。

在我們面前有兩條河流，東方文化和西方文化。現在，它們也許正朝著不同的方向流去。但是最終它們將匯合到人類文化的海洋里。

就在此時此刻，我看見東方和西方的人肩并肩的站在一起，高唱奧林匹克主題曲:我們手拉手，心靠著心，共同創造美好的明天!大學生英語演講稿英語風采大賽半決賽選手自備演講賞析(大學成人組)

十五、黃揚，21，福建 farewell, indifference who was the most well-known figure in china last month? it’s ma jiajue—the college student who murdered 4 of his roommates.many people attributed his crime to his poverty and deficient education.in my opinion, his crime also has much to do with his classmates’ indifference.indifference is a terrible disease in today’s colleges and the whole society.it’s not rare that two students who have studied together for 4 years have never spoken to each other.it’s not rare that a student who has been absent from class for several days is not noticed at all.it’s also not rare that a student who has severe psychological problems is not cared about at all.some people may say ‘what the students with psychological problems like ma jiajue need is not care but psychotherapy.” however, when people are ill, what they need most is not only medical treatment, but also care from people around them.every smile and every caring word will bring sunshine to their life.篇三：英語演講比賽 演講稿(中英版)topic——tourism and ecology: learning through travel 第八屆“21世紀杯”全國英語演講比賽冠軍——顧秋蓓 a scene to remember gu qiubei shanghai international studies university advisor: gong longsheng good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.today i would like to begin with a story.下午好，各位先生女士們 there was once a physical therapist who traveled all the way from america to africa to do a census about mountain gorillas.these gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world;this put them severely under threat of poaching and being put into the zoo.she went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures.she witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged weve ever been, where in the very depth of the african rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas cuddled their babies.今天，我想首先用一個小故事。曾經有一個物理治療師誰親赴從美國到非洲做一個關于山地大猩猩普查。這些大猩猩是對游客的吸引力，主要來自世界各地，這使他們嚴重不足的偷獵威脅，目前到動物園付諸表決。她去了好奇，但她看見她的決心，增強她的一生奉獻為這些美麗的生物戰斗。她親眼目睹的場景，場景帶我們到一個地方，我們從來沒有影像，我們經歷過的，其中在非洲熱帶雨林的深處，樹木，花卉，蝴蝶，大猩猩包圍的母親擁抱自己的嬰兒。yes, thats a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called gorillas in the mist, based on a true story of mrs.dian fossey, who spent most of bet lifetime in rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.是的，在我最喜歡的電影之一難忘的場景，呼吁在薄霧大猩猩的基礎上，戴安娜弗西夫人，誰在此度過了一生中最盧旺達保護，直到她生命的最后的生態環境有真實的故事。to me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our ecoenvironment.對我來說，電影，不僅提供了一個難忘的場景，而且也是一個永恒提醒我們，我們不應該在發展我們的生態成本，環境，旅游業行為。1 / 3 deforestation to heat lodges is devastating nepal.oil spills from tourist boats are polluting antarctica.tribal people are forsaking their native music and dress to listen to u2 on walkman and wear nike and reeboks.今天，我們生活在一個繁榮的世界，但仍這么多的新問題的威脅。一方面，旅游業作為21世紀最有前途的產業之一，為我們提供了極好的機會都沒有看到人都會看到，并前往任何地方有去。這已成為一些人的生活方式，并已被證明是在國內生產總值增長的推動力。它的神奇，把一個繁榮仙境1落后的小城。但在另一方面，可能會出現很多問題-自然景觀不自然了。砍伐森林的熱小屋是毀滅性的尼泊爾。旅游船油泄漏污染是南極。部落的人喪失了本土音樂和服飾，聽取他們對隨身聽u2和穿耐克和銳步。all these appalling(令人震驚的)facts have brought us to the realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been eroding(侵蝕)our resources.encouragingly, the explosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the united nations has made 2002 the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the worlds attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our ecoenvironment.所有這些令人震驚的事實使我們認識到，我們不能再袖手旁觀，什么都不做，因為它認為非常侵蝕了我們的資源。令人鼓舞的是，全球旅游的爆炸性增長已經把旅游業再次在聚光燈下，這就是為什么聯合國2002年提出的生態旅游首次提請全世界注意旅游業的好處，但也其能力，破壞我們的生態環境。because they care.because they still want their mother nature back.because they know it still belongs to them.現在每年有很多地方環境保護組織接受捐贈-大筆記，筆記，甚至小硬幣-從家庭主婦，管道工，救護車司機，售貨員，教師，兒童和殘疾人。其中一些人可沒有錢給的錢，但他們這樣做。這是誰駕駛的出租車，誰在醫院護士，誰從他們所在地區的生態破壞的痛苦。為什么？因為他們的照顧。因為他們仍然希望他們回到大自然。因為他們知道它仍然屬于他們。the other night, as l saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs.i found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to some-thing else, someplace else.a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seem to have been except the deer.有一天晚上，我看見月亮徘徊在土地和前被送進了無形的，心里卻充滿了歌曲。我發現自己輕輕哼唱，而不是音樂，而是別的東西，別的地方，一個地方記住，一個地方不動，一個草地，再沒有人似乎除了鹿被。2 / 3 and all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that its lime for us to do 和那些難忘的情景更增強了的感覺，現在需要我們做一些事情，為我們自己和我們的未來一代。

再次，我所認為的夫人戴安娜弗西，因為它與她的精神，熱情，勇氣和強烈的生態環境，我們的感覺是，我們正在進入世界的下一個步驟。and no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our mind, theres always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.不管我們是誰，我們做什么，而且我們去，在我們的腦海，總有一個場景要記住，一個值得努力保護，并爭取的場景。thank you very much.非常感謝。3 / 3篇四：21世紀杯”全國英語演講比賽演講稿 目錄

第三屆“21世紀杯”全國英語演講比賽冠軍——梁勵敏

梁勵敏

北京外國語大學

梁勵敏，生于浙江杭州，畢業于北京外國語大學，獲英語語言文學碩士學位，研究生期間專攻方向為美國社會研究。2002年進入中央電視臺英語頻道采訪組工作，所采寫的新聞獲得2003年全國新聞彩虹獎二等獎。

專家點評:引用文學大師的詩句作為開場白，與結束語首尾呼應，頗有感染力。東西方文化的融合表現得十分鮮明，意味深長，是篇優秀的演講。crossing the sea good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.the title of my speech today is crossing the sea.an english poet by the name of rudyard kipling once wrote in his poem we and they: all the people like us are we and everyone else is they we live over the sea while they live over the way we eat pork and beef with cowhorn-handled knives they who gobble their rice off a leaf are horrified out of their lives.when these lines first caught my eyes, i was shocked-how could two peoples remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past? todays society, of course, is an entirely different picture.those people who used to eat with cowhorn-handled knives might be very skillful in using chopsticks, and those people who used to gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.indeed, just take china as an example: our modern life has been influenced by western style of living in so many ways that its no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at mcdonalds and even rather elderly people dressed in apple jeans.however, these are only some expressions of the cultural changes taking place in our society today.what is really going on is a subtle but significant restructuring of the nations mentality.just look around.it is therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient eastern civilization are already living under strong inf1uence of the western culture.but it is not only in china that we find the incorporation of the two cultures.take the chinese acupuncture as another example: this traditional treatment of diseases is finally finding its way to the west and hence the underlying notion that illness is resulted from the imbalance between yin and yang within the body--an idea which would strike any westerner as incredible in the past!ladies and gentlemen, we live in a great epoch when the global integration of economy and the information revolution have brought cultures of the world closer than ever before.we live in a particular era when countries, east and west, find themselves in need of readjusting their traditional values.we live, at the same time, at a critical juncture of our evolution because such problems as ethnic conflicts and regional unrest are increasingly posing a threat to the peace and happiness of the whole human race.to cope with such an era and to embrace an even brighter therefore, it is our sacred responsibility to promote the cultural exchanges and hence the mutual understanding between china and the rest of the world.it is my happiest dream that the new generation of chinese will not only grow up drinking coca-cola and watching hollywood, but also be blessed with the far-reaching benefits of multiple cultures;benefits that our forefathers had never, ever dreamed of.to end my speech, i would like to quote rudyard kipling again: all the people like us are we and everyone else is they but once you cross over the sea you will end by looking on we as only a sort of they thank you.譯文:穿越海洋

女士們、先生們，晚上好。今天，我演講的題目是:《穿越海洋》。

英國詩人羅得雅德·吉卜林曾寫過一首詩，名叫《我們與他們》，其中寫道: 像我們的人是我們

其余的人是他們

我們生活在海這邊

他們生活在路那邊

我們用牛角柄的刀叉吃豬牛肉 吞吃粽葉包飯的他們嚇得要死。

第一次讀到這首詩，我很震驚——過去兩個民族何以如此疏離、彼此陌生?當然今日的社會呈現出完全不同的情景:那些過去吃米飯的人們也開始喜歡吃魚和薯條。的確如此，就拿中國來說，西方的生活方式已經廣泛地影響了我們的現代生活，以致對于年輕人對搖滾樂著迷，全家去吃麥當勞，老年人穿蘋果牌牛仔褲，大家都已習以為常。然而，這不過是我們當今社會中所發生的文化變遷的表面現象而已，真正發生的卻是我們的民族心理開始了微妙而又有重大意義的重建，大家只要看看周圍就會清楚。
