第一篇：Crossing the Sea-第三屆英語演講比賽冠軍

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.The title of my speech today is “Crossing the Sea”.An Englishpoet by the name of Rudyard Kipling once wrote in this 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 cow horn-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 people remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past? Today′s society, of course, is an entirely different picture.Those people who used to eat with gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.Indeed, just take China as example;Our modern life has been influenced by Western style of livingin so many ways that it′s no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at McDonald′s 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 nation′s mentality.Just lookaround.How many college graduates are ready to compete aggressively for every job opportunity, whereasnot long ago they were asked just to sit idle and wait for whatever was to be assigned to them by thegovernment?

How many young people are now eager to seek for an independent life whereas only two decades agothey would rely totally on their parents to arrange for their future? Ask anyone who participates intoday′s speech contest.Who has not come with a will to fight and who has not come determined to achieve self-fulfillment in winning the game? And I′m quite certain that if Confucius had lived to see today′s China, he would have been horrified to see young lovers kissing each other in public places in an unreserved expression of their passion.It is therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient Eastern civilization are alreadyliving under strong influence of the Western culture.But it is not only in China that we find theincorporation of the two cultures.Take the United States as an example: During the 1980s, in face of the overwhelming competition fromJapan, many American companies such as the Ford began to adopt a teamwork management from their rivals,the essence of which, lay at the very core of

Eastern culture.Take the Chinese acupuncture as another example: This traditional treatment of diseases is finallyfinding 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 asincredible in the past!

Ladies and Gentlemen, we live in a great epoch when the global integration of economy and theinformation 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 traditionalvalues.We live, at the same time, at a critical juncture of our evolution because such problems asethnic conflicts and regional unrest are increasingly posing a threat to the peace and happiness of thewhole human race.To cope with such an era and to embrace an even brighter future, we need to learn to live more harmoniously in a world community which is becoming smaller and smaller.My dear fellow students, our command of the English language render sit possible for us to gain aninsight into Western culture while retaining our own cultural identity.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 new generation of Chinese will not only grow up drinking Coca cola andwatching Hollywood, but also be blessed with the far-reaching benefits of multiple cultures;benefitsthat 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!

開場白：good morning, my dear teachers and classmates.my name is qin zebang.i’m happy to stand here and i’m honored to give a speech.my topic is protect the environment and live a low-carbon life.正文：

now i want to talk about a beautiful world!i always dream that i could live in a beautiful country.there are many flowers and trees around our city.we could hear the birds singing and see the children dancing.the streets are clear and the air is very fresh!how nice it is!but that is only a dream of mine!the reality is that nearly everyday we could see tra(更多精彩文章請關注好)ffic jam because more and more people are using private cars which polluted the air much.we seldom enjoy the fresh air because we always stay in the air-conditioned rooms..everyone should make ato protect the environment.taking care of our environment is very important.no matter where we live, we can do something around our neighborhood.have you ever thrown any litter onto the ground? have you ever drawn pictures on public walls? have you ever cut down trees? if your answers are “no”, it means that you have already helped protect our environment.it is our duty to keep our environment clean and tidy.you might ask yourself, “have i ever picked up some rubbish and thrown it into a dustbin?

have i ever collected waste paper or bottles for recycling? have i ever planted any trees or flowers in or near my neighborhood?” if your answers are “yes”, it means that you have already done something useful to improve the environment.moreover, we should also use public transportation as possible as we can.we should also save water and electricity and other resources for next generation.now i want to say: let’s do our best to make our world more beautiful!開場白:早上好，我親愛的老師和同學。我的名字叫秦澤邦。我很高興站在這里，我很榮幸能作一次演講。我的主題是保護環境和低碳生活。正文： 現在，我想談一談一個美麗的世界！我總是夢想著能在一個美麗的國家。有很多花和我們的城市周圍的樹。我們可以聽到鳥兒歌唱，看到孩子們跳舞。街道是明亮的、空氣是非常新鮮！這是多好！但這只是我的一個夢！現實是幾乎每天都我們可以看到堵車因為越來越多的人正在使用私家車的多污染空氣。我們很少享用新鮮的空氣，因為我們始終保持在空調房間里。因此，我認為我們應該采取措施保護我們的環境。每個人都應作出貢獻，保護環境。照顧我們，這是環境的非常重要的。無論我們住在哪里，我們可以做些在我們的社區。你有過引發任何垃圾在地上嗎？你有在公共的墻壁上涂鴉嗎？你曾經砍倒樹嗎？如果您的答案是“no”，這意味著您已經幫助保護我們的環境。它是我們的責任，以保持我們的環境干凈整潔。你可能會問自己，“有摘過一些垃圾和扔進垃圾箱嗎？我曾經收集廢紙或供循環再用的瓶子嗎？我曾經栽了任何樹木或內或附近我家附近

的花嗎？”如果您回答“是”，這意味著你已經為改善環境的有用的東西。此外，我們還應使用公共交通工具并盡我們所能。我們還應為下一代保存電力、水和其他資源。現在我要說： 讓我們做最大努力使我們的世界更美麗！

高級版（見見高手！）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, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called gorillas in the mist, based on a true story of mrs.diana fossey, who spent most of her 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 eco-environment.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。

today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems.on the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go.it has bee a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in gdp growth.it has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity.but on the other hand, many problems can occurbig notes, small notes or even coins-from housewives, plumbers, ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and invalids.some of them cannot afford to send the money but they do.these are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood.why? 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ecoenvironmental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。

this kind of feeling that i have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it，it's all ing from a scene to be remembered, a scene to recall and to cherish.這種感覺，我有，女士們，先生們，是當它的感覺，喜歡這種氣味，而且看來，這一切都從一個場景來記住，一個場景回顧和珍惜。

the other night, as i 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 something else, someplace else, a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seemed 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。

and all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's time for us to do something, for our own and our ing generation.once again, i have e to think of mrs.diana fossey because it is with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.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 minds, there's 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.the rhythm of life most important lesson – we must place our mind in harmony with the natural order of things to be successful.let me tell you what happened.i decided to take part in an international marathon in my hometown last year.being an ambitious person, i hoped to finish it within 5 hours, acpanied by my friend with whom i had trained.the big day finally arrived.“ready...set...bang” and we were off.at first, we kept a rapid pace and ran nonstop.at this pace, we finished the first 20 kilometers in 2 hours and i thought running a marathon was a piece of cake.then my running mate began to slow down.i urged him to keep running at the same pace but he said no, he wanted to conserve his energy.i felt i had partnered with the wrong person;therefore, i sprinted on and left him behind in the dust.a few kilometers later, i began to understand his strategy as my pace slowed to a jog then a walk.after that i was incapable of moving another step.i was humiliated as more and more people ran passed me.more than once i thought “maybe i should quit.” i started to doubt my ability to finish this race.at this moment, my running mate caught up with me and slapped me on the back.“follow me,” he shouted.he had balanced his marathon pace and was encouraged me to do the same.for the rest of this grueling contest, we walked, jogged, ran a few miles, and walked again.slowly, painfully but hopefully this time, we established the most suitable pace

within the natural flow of our physical capabilities.eventually we acplished our first marathon of 42 kilometers in 4 and half hours.i asked myself, what did this marathon mean to me? my marathon experience became an influential metaphor for my life about how we must learn to pace ourselves in everything, by being in tune with the rhythm of life.like the tide that ebbs and flows, we must listen to advice but make our own decisions.like the show at dawn and dusk, we must learn to balance pride and modesty.and from the way the wind can both shout and whisper, we must learn when to be strong and when to be gentle, for everything moves in its own rhythm and its own yin and yang elements.it is the interaction of these plementary extremes that produces harmony, as laozi said, extremes meet.since the marathon, this notion of two opposite forces working together has been my running partner, so to speak.yin and yang exist everywhere, constantly interacting, and never existing in an absolute condition.ladies and gentlemen, life is like running a marathon, let us discover, define and develop a natural rhythm of life, in order to achieve both harmony and success.thank you for listening．

to me march 28th was a lucky day.it was on that particular evening that i found myself at central stage, in the spotlight.winning the “21st century〃ericsson cup” seventh national english speaking petition is a memory that i shall treasure and one that will surely stay.more important than winning the cup is the friendship that has been established and developed among the contestants, and the chance to municate offstage in addition to peting onstage.also the petition helps boost public speaking in china, a skill hitherto undervalued.for me, though, the petition is a more personal experience.habitually shy, i had been reluctant to take part in any such activities.encouraged by my friends, however, i made a last-minute decision to give it a try.in the course of preparation i somehow rediscovered myself, a truer me.i found that, after all, i like municating with other people;that exchanging views can be so much fun—and so much rewarding, both emotionally and intellectually;that public speaking is most effective when you are least guarded;and that it is essential to success in every walk of life.at a more practical level, i realized knowing what you are going to say and how you are going to say it are equally important.to take the original ideas out of your head and transplant them, so to speak, to that of others, you need to have an organized mind.this ability improves with training.yet there should not be any loss or addition or distortion in the process.those ideas that finally find their waysintosanother head need to be recognizably yours.language is a means

to transmit information, not a means to obstruct munication.it should be lucid to be penetrating.in china, certain public speaking skills have been unduly emphasized.will it really help, we are pelled to ask, to bang at the podium or yell at the top of your lungs, if you have e with a poorly organized speech, a muddled mind, and unwillingness to truly share your views? above all, the single most important thing i learnt was that as a public speaker, you need to pay attention, first and foremost, to the content of your speech.and second, the structure of your speech: how one idea relates and progresses to another.only after these e delivery and non-verbal munication: speed control, platform manner, and so on.pronunciation is important, yet of greater importance is this: is your language petent enough to express your ideas exactly the way you intend them to be understood? i was informed afterwards that i was chosen to be the winner for my “appropriately ed speech, excellent presence and quick-witted response”.in so remarking, the judges clearly showed their preference: they e to listen for meaningful ideas, not for loose judgments, nor easy laughters.some contestants failed to address their questions head on.some were able to, but did not knowswheresto stop—the dragging on betrayed their lack of confidence.the root cause was that they did not listen attentively to the questions.or they were thinking of what they had prepared.as i said in my speech, “it is vitally important that we young people do

more serious thinking...to take them [issues like globalization] on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges ing our way”.we need to respond honestly.a petition like this draws talented students from all over the country.and of course, i learnt more things than just about public speaking.since in the final analysis, public speaking is all about effective munication.and this goes true for all munications, whatever their setting.and the following is the final version of my speech: globalization: opportunities and challenges for china's younger generation thirty years ago, american president richard nixon made an epoch-making visit to china, a country still isolated at that time.premier zhou enlai said to him, “your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world—twenty-five years of no munication”.thirty years since, china and america have exchanged many handshakes.the fundamental implication of this exle is that the need to municate across differences in culture and ideology is not only felt by the two countries but by many other nations as well.as we can see today, environmentalists from different countries are making joint efforts to address the issue of global warming, economists are seeking solutions to financial crises that rage in a particular region but nonetheless cripple the world economy, and politicians and diplomats are

getting together to discuss the issue of bating terrorism.peace and prosperity has bee a mon goal that we are striving for all over the world.underlying this mighty trend of global munication is the echo of e.m.forster's s “only connect!” with the it revolution, traditional boundaries of human society fall away.our culture, politics, society and merce are being sloshedsintosone large melting pot of humanity.in this interlinked world, there are no outsiders, for a disturbance in one place is likely to impact other parts of the globe.we have begun to realize that a world divided cannot endure.china is now actively integratingsintosthe world.our recent entry to the wto is a good exle.for decades, we have taken pride in being self-reliant, but now we realize the importance of participating in and contributing to a broader economic order.from a precarious role in the world arena to our present wto membership, we have e a long way.but what does the way ahead look like? in some parts of the world people are demonstrating against globalization.are they justified, then, in criticizing the globalizing world? instead of narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, they say, globalization enables the developed nations to swallow the developing nations' wealth in debts and interest.globalization, they argue, should be about a mon interest in every other nation's economic health.we are reminded by karl marx that capital goes beyond national

borders and eludes control from any other entity.this has bee a reality.multinational corporations are seeking the lowest cost, the largest market, and the most favourable policy.they are often powerful lobbyists in government decision-making, ruthless expansionists in the global market and a devastating presence to local businesses.for china, still more challenges exist.how are we going to ensure a smooth transition from the planned economy to a market-based one? how to construct a legal system that is sound enough and broad enough to respond to the needs of a dynamic society? how to maintain our cultural identity in an increasingly homogeneous world? and how to define greatness in our rise as a peace-loving nation? globalization entails questions that concern us all.like many young people my age in china, i want to see my country get prosperous and enjoy respect in the international munity.but it seems to me that mere patriotism is not just enough.it is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking and broaden our mind to bigger issues.there might never be easy answers to those issues such as globalization, but to take them on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges ing our way.this is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech to me march 28th was a lucky day.it was on that particular evening that i found myself at central stage, in the spotlight.winning the “21st century?ericsson cup” seventh national english speaking petition is a memory that i shall treasure and one that will surely stay.more important than winning the cup is the friendship that has been established and developed among the contestants, and the chance to municate offstage in addition to peting onstage.also the petition helps boost public speaking in china, a skill hitherto undervalued.for me, though, the petition is a more personal experience.habitually shy, i had been reluctant to take part in any such activities.encouraged by my friends, however, i made a last-minute decision to give it a try.in the course of preparation i somehow rediscovered myself, a truer me.i found that, after all, i like municating with other people;that exchanging views can be so much fun—and so much rewarding, both emotionally and intellectually;that public speaking is most effective when you are least guarded;and that it is essential to success in every walk of life.at a more practical level, i realized knowing what you are going to say and how you are going to say it are equally important.to take the original ideas out of your head and transplant them, so to speak, to that of others, you need to have an organized mind.this ability improves with training.yet there should not be any loss or addition or distortion in the process.those ideas that finally find their way into another head need to be recognizably yours.language is a means to transmit information, not a

yes, that's 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.to me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a 6)timeless(永恒的)reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our ecoenvironment.today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems.on the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go.it has bee a lifestyle for some people, and has

turned out to be the driving force in gdp growth.it has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity.but on the other hand, many problems can occur---natural scenes aren't natural anymore.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.all these 7)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 8)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 XX the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the world's attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our ecoenvironment.now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection organizations an: receiving donations--big notes, small notes or even coins--from housewives, 9)plumbers(水管工人), ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and 10)invalids(殘疾人), some of them can not afford to send the money but they do.these are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood.why? because they care.because they still want their mother nature back.because they know it still

belongs to them.this kind of feeling that i have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it, it's all ing from a scene to remember, a scene to recall and to cherish.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.and all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's lime for us to do something, for our own and our ing generation.once again, i have e to think of mrs.dian fossey be-cause it's with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.and no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our mind, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.英語演講比賽演講稿

英語演講比賽演講稿

【演講稿01】if i were a boy again 假如我又回到了童年

if i were a boy again, i would practice perseverance（毅力）more often, and never give up a thing because it was hard or inconvenient.if we want light, we must conquer darkness.perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results.“there are only two creatures,” says a proverb, “who can surmount the pyramids—the eagle and the snail.”

if i were a boy again, i would school myself into a habit of attention;i would let nothing e between me and the subject in hand.i would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once.the habit of attention bees part of our life, if we begin early enough.i often hear grown-up people say “i could not fix my attention on the lecture or book, although i wished to do so” , and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth.if i were to live my life over again, i would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory.i would strengthen that faculty by every possible means, and on every possible occasion.it takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately;but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble.it only needs early cultivation to bee a power.if i were a boy again, i would look on the cheerful side.life is very much like a mirror: if you smile upon it, i smile back upon you;but if you frown and look doubtful on it, you will get a similar look in return.inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner, but of all that e in contact with it.“who shuts love out ,in turn shall be shut out from love.”

finally, instead of trying hard to be happy, as if that were the sole purpose of life, i would, if i were a boy again, i would still try harder to make others happy.【譯文】假如我又回到了童年，我做事要更有毅力，決不因為事情艱難或者麻煩而撒手不干，我們要光明，就得征服黑暗。毅力在效果上有時能同天才相比。俗話說：“能登上金字塔的生物，只有兩種——鷹和蝸牛。”

假如我又回到了童年，我就要養成專心致志的習慣；有事在手，就決不讓任何東西讓我分心。我要牢記：優秀的滑冰手從不試圖同時滑向兩個不同的方向。如果及早養成這種專心致志的習慣，它將成為我們生命的一部分。我常聽成年人說：“雖然我希望能集中注意聽牧師講道或讀書，但往往做不到。”而原因就是年輕時沒有養成這種習慣。

假如我現在能重新開始我的生命，我就要更注意記憶力的培養。我要采取一切可能的辦法，并且在一切可能的場合，增強記憶力。要正確無誤地記住一些東西，在開始階段的確要作出一番小小的努力；但要不了多久，記憶力本身就會起作用，使記憶成為輕而易舉的事，只需及早培養，記憶自會成為一種才能。

假如我又回到了童年，我就要事事樂觀。生活猶如一面鏡子：你朝它笑，它也朝你笑；如果你雙眉緊鎖，向它投以懷疑的目光，它也

將還以你同樣的目光看待你。

內心的歡樂不僅溫暖了歡樂者自己的心，也溫暖了所有與之接觸者的心。“誰拒愛于門外，也必將被愛拒諸門外。”

最后，假如我又回到了童年，我不會力圖為自己謀幸福，好像這就是人生唯一的目的；與之相反，我要更努力為他人謀幸福。

if we would ever acplish anything in life, let us not forget that we must persevere.if we would learn our lessons in school, we must be diligent and not give up whenever we e to anything difficult.we shall find many of our lessons very hard, but let us consider that the harder they are the better they will do to us if we will persevere and learn them thoroughly.but there are some among us who are ready to give up when they e to a hard exle in mathematics, and say, ”i can't do this.“ they never will if they feel so.”i can't“ never does anything worthwhile;but ”i'll try“ acplishes wonders.let us remember that we shall meet with difficulties all through life.they are in the pathway of everyone.if we will only try and keep trying, we shall be sure to conquer and overe every difficulty we meet with.if we have a hard lesson today, let us strive to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.and if we learn to master hard lessons in school, it will prepare us to overe the hard things that we shall meet in life, when our school days are over.【譯文】

不要忘記，在人生的道路上，要想做成什么事，我們必須持之以恒。如果我們在學校里想要學好功課，就必須得勤奮，任何時候遇到難題都不要放棄。我們會發現，許多功課非常難，但是我們得記住，那些功課越難，將來對我們的益處就越大--只要我們能持之以恒，完

全弄懂。

不過，我們當中有一些人，一遇到數學難題就輕易放棄，說：”這道題我做不出來。“ 如果他們這么認為，那他們永遠也做不出來。說”我不能“的人永遠干不成任何有價值的事，而說”我會努力“的人則可以創造奇跡。

讓我們記住，在我們一生中，總要遇到各種難題。這些難題就橫亙在每一個人的人生道路上。

只要我們努力，再努力，就一定會征服所遇到的每一個困難。假如我們今天功課上遇到一個難題，那就讓我們竭力解決它，然后我們就可以做好準備應付明天更大的難題。假如我們在學校里就學會駕馭功課上的難題，將來離開學校后，我們就可以準備好克服我們在人生道路上遇到的各種難題。

i’m ten years old.i e from huanxi primary school.i’m in class 3, grade 5.我今年10歲。我來自環西小學，現在五年級三班。as a happy boy，i have many hobbies, such as sports, playing piano, singing, and drawing.我是一個快樂男孩。我有許多愛好，比如體育運動，彈鋼琴，唱歌，畫畫等。

among them, travel is my favorist one.i have visited some other cities, like beijing, hainan, chongqing, guangxi, qindao, dalian and so on.旅游是我的最愛。我去過不少地方，如北京，海南，**，廣西，青島，大連等。

not only that, i want to go abroad to take in the beauty of the custom of other countries in the future.不僅如此，我還希望能出國領略各國的民俗風情。

and i even dream about what the life will be when we are on planets other than our earth.甚至我還夢想著在地球外的其它星球上生活將會是怎樣的。that is why i’m so interested in the following scientific report recently.所以最近我對下面這篇科學報道非常感興趣。二.演講部分：

在我們享受的時候懂得珍惜 cherish what we are enjoying it is a report about the new planet which holds possibility for life.發現了一顆有生命可能性的星球的報告。

it shows that european astronomers have discovered a new planet, they name it gliese 581 c.說歐洲天文學家們發現了一顆新的星球，代號為“gliese 581c”。it is about 20.5 light years from our earth.they estimated the planet's average temperature at between 0 and 40 degrees centigrade.it is orbiting the red dwarf star, gliese 581.它距地球約20.5光年。他們估計它的平均溫度約在0℃～40℃之間。它圍繞著紅矮星gliese 581運行。

most important of all, it’s an earth-like planet.there might be mountin, sea and liquid water.最重要的是，這顆星球和地球非常相似，它可能有山巒，有海洋，還有液態水。

so the astronomers believe that it is potentially habitable.所以科學家們相信它能支持生命的存在。

however, gliese 581 c might be ”tidally locked" to it’s sun-the dwarf star the way our moon is to the earth.然而，就像月球一樣，它只會公轉，不會自轉。

it means that it must always show its same face to its sun, and that while one side would be too fiercely hot to support life, the other side would be too cold.這就意味著它面對紅矮星的一面會太熱不適合生命體而背對紅矮星的一面則會很寒冷。

this report makes me to realize that how valuable our earth is.這使我認識到我們地球有多么珍貴！everyday, we can see sunrise and sunset.我們每天都可以看到日出日落。

the day and night keeps on exchanging.it’s not too hot in the daytime while not to cold at night.一天早晚有變化，晝夜不停地交換使白天不過分熱，夜晚不過分冷。

everyday, i go to school cheerfully in the morning and skip along at the way home as the sun set.清爽的早晨，我可以背著小書包高高興興地去上學。夕陽西下，我又蹦又跳地回到家。

we could experience changes through the four seasons of one year.一年四季有變化。

spring is the season sowing seeds.it is pregnant with life and green.春天是播種的季節，充滿了生機和綠色。

in the summer, colorful swimming suits frolick in the water happily.夏天五顔六色的游泳衣在水里歡快地嬉戲。

autumn is the harvest season , the paddy fields and trees are covered with golden color.秋天是豐收的季節，金黃鋪滿了稻田灑滿了枝頭。

in the winter，we can have snow battle, playing to our hearts' content in the world of silvery white.冬天我們打著雪仗，盡情地在銀白色的世界里玩耍。how fortunate we are because we can live on the earth!能生活在地球上,我們是多么地幸運啊。

we should cherish it, instead of polluting it, spoiling it or even destroying it.我們要珍惜它，千萬別污染它，別糟踐它，別破壞它！if one day, it is really angry and stop rotation, that will have be a disaster for us human being.如果有那么一天，它真的生了氣停止了自轉，那將是我們整個人類的巨大災難。

so, let us protect our earth with our love, making it better and more harmonious.所以，讓我們大家用自己的愛來好好保護宇宙中這顆唯一的地球

吧，使它更美好更合諧。

三．才藝表演

ladies and gentlemen, now let me show you a story about the monkey and the moon.先生們女士們，現在我給大家表演一個關于猴子與月亮的故事。猴子撈月的故事：

one day, a little monkey is playing by the well.一天，有只小猴子在井邊玩兒。he looks in the well and shouts : 它往井里一瞧，高喊道：

“oh!my god!the moon has fallen into the well!”“噢！我的天！月亮掉到井里頭啦！” an older monkeys runs over, takes a look, and says, 一只大猴子跑來一看，說，“goodness me!the moon is really in the water!” “糟啦！月亮掉在井里頭啦！” and the oldest monkey es over.老猴子也跑過來。

he is very surprised as well and cries out: 他也非常驚奇，喊道： “the moon is in the well.” “糟了，月亮掉在井里頭了！” a group of monkeys run over to the well.

一群猴子跑到井邊來，they look at the moon in the well and shout: 他們看到井里的月亮，喊道：

“the moon did fall into the well!e on!let’s get it out!” “月亮掉在井里頭啦！快來！讓我們把它撈起來！” then, the oldest monkey hangs on the tree up side down ,with his feet on the branch.然后，老猴子倒掛在大樹上，and he pulls the next monkey’s feet with his hands.拉住大猴子的腳，all the other monkeys follow his suit, 其他的猴子一個個跟著，and they join each other one by one down to the moon in the well.它們一只連著一只直到井里。

just before they reach the moon, the oldest monkey raises his head and happens to see the moon in the sky, 正好他們摸到月亮的時候，老猴子抬頭發現月亮掛在天上呢 he yells excitedly “don’t be so foolish!the moon is still in the sky!”

它興奮地大叫：“別蠢了！月亮還好好地掛在天上呢！” this is the end of the story.do you like it? 故事到這里就結束了。你們喜歡嗎？ 四．尾聲

hope you all can remember me, wangqihang, a happy guy like the sunshine.希望大家能記住我，王啟珩，一個陽光般的快樂男孩。wele you to visit my blog at http://blog.sina..cn/u/1274563887 歡迎大學到 訪問我的博客。thank you very much.謝謝大家。

our every sensory nerve.so concerning that much sentiment music can express, i believe it is music that has gathered different parts of the world together, spanning both time and space gaps.furthermore, people nowadays don’t just use music simply for regulating the atmosphere or something like that.in psychology especially psychophysiology, music has been explored quite a lot for its effects on human’s brain, either for treatment or training skills.to sum up, i don’t think it’s improper to exaggerate a bit that life without music is just like a fish living without water.indeed, with respect to all the colorful feelings music brings as well as the instrumental influence that music exerts on us, music, is the that has changed the world.

第三篇：第三屆21世紀杯全國英語演講比賽冠軍梁勵敏

思維的游戲——第三屆21世紀杯全國英語演講比賽冠軍梁勵敏

來源：為成功而演講作者：梁勵敏日期: 2010-08-

31第三屆21世紀杯全國英語演講比賽冠軍梁勵敏

可能是由于我對英語學習一直懷著巨大的熱情，同時成績也不錯的緣故吧，從中學起我就成了各種英語比賽的常客，尤其在大學階段，我有幸兩次參加全國性的英語賽事。如今，當時比賽中扣人心弦的種種情形已漸漸被時間沖淡，只在偶然間會被重新記起。然而備戰的過程卻給我留下了許多值得回味的東西，它在潛移默化中影響甚至是改變著我的生活。

北外—青春的課堂

如果有人問我，大學時代感受最深、收獲最大的是什么？我會毫不猶豫的說，是有幸得到諸多良師的指點。他們賦予我的，不但是知識上的熏陶，更是把一種人文主義的精神長久的植入我的腦海。這些感受，許多來自課堂，也有許多來自數次為參加全國比賽而進行的集訓。

楊宇光老師是我兩次比賽的指導老師，1997年辯論賽時他就是我們辯論隊的主教練。印象中他永遠的治學嚴謹，永遠的紳士風度，永遠說用詞考究的British English，有著英國式的幽默。盡管當時比賽的辯題并不是特別深刻的學術話題，但他依然要求我們深入破題，在底下做充分的research。為了給我們拓寬思路，他屢次召集系里的熱心老師，從老教授到年輕教員，與我們一同討論。用他的話來說，只有充分剖析，寫出來的東西才能有分量——這也是北外的學術傳統的體現。為了指導我們，他放棄了許多休息的時間。對我們的presentation，他逐字逐句進行修改；幾乎每天他都親自安排我們的訓練并細心點評我們發揮中的優缺點。

到了第二年演講賽的時候，他又成為我的指導老師。當時我的演講稿寫得并不順。有的學校在這種大賽時采取老師替學生捉刀的方法，準備演講部分的寫作就由老師代勞。但楊老師始終認為，這一環節也是對學生極好的鍛煉。記得那一個講稿，我重寫了兩三遍，每一遍都對選題有了更深的理解，寫得也更好一些。比賽時間迫近了，他把學院參加第一屆“21世紀杯”并獲獎的師兄徐翌成找來，說，“Let’s put our heads together, and make a final effort at it.”那天晚上，我們改稿改到深夜，終于拿出了一個令人滿意的version，稿子比我自己的更大氣，更層層深入，也更有文采。這篇文章為我的比賽增色不少，而經過賽前的充分準備，我在回答問題部分和即興演講部分也發揮得很好，正式宣布結果前，老師走過來微笑著拍拍我的肩，說“I think we made it this time.”And we did.在我們比賽的智囊團中，還有許多老師給我留下了深刻印象。楊立民老師就是其中的一位。他是一位充滿智慧，學識淵博，又帶一點cynical的教授。年逾花甲的他，常常還穿著牛仔褲出現在校園里，見了我們總是樂呵呵的，玩笑不斷，常常能出驚人之語。記得準備辯

論的時候，他把辯論精辟的歸結為“an exchange of ignorance” — 因為辯論往往使雙方囿于自己一方的觀點而不能心平氣和的聆聽對方的論證。到演講比賽時，他又拿選題—摘自莎翁劇本的一句話“All the world is a stage”—借題發揮。他說，“All the world is a stage.Men and women are actors.There are comedies and tragedies.And the speech contest is a farce.”暗喻演講比賽很難避免的showcase的因素，令人捧腹不已。這就是他的風格——在漫不經心的評說中透出耐人尋味的哲理。他雖然如此輕描淡寫，但在每次brain storming session上，卻又能智光四射的給我們提供許多思想的火花。對他的厚積薄發，我們時常感到由衷的折服。

演講，辯論賽的備戰，因其能夠得到學院的最強的師資陣容的點撥，而令所有過來人受益匪淺。記得1995年復旦大學奪得華語國際大專辯論賽冠軍后出版的《獅城舌戰》一書中，選手們把由多位資深教授給他們準備的系列講座稱為“濃縮的精神大餐”，把思辨的訓練稱為“把神經繃到極細的線”的生活。而我們當時訓練的規模雖小，卻也能讓我們深深體會到此中的滋味，這實為人生的幸事。

有人說，人們可以忘記年年歲歲，卻無法忘記片刻與瞬間，正是這些片刻與瞬間，讓短暫成為永恒。正是與老師朝夕相處的點點滴滴，讓我領悟到他們的治學和做人之道。我們深諳，比賽的勝負其實并不是最重要的，它只是我們鍛煉自身素質的一種途徑，而更值得回味的，是過程中的所得，是領會那種踏踏實實的做學問的精神。

這對我來說是一筆永久的精神財富。

語言的錘煉和思維的游戲

備戰比賽的過程本身對于我是非常rewarding的經歷。

演講稿，辯論詞的寫作是沉淀思想、錘煉語言的好機會。我記得當年“21世紀杯”的演講題是“East and West, Can We Live in Two Cultures”，要把這樣大的一個題目在四分鐘之內說清楚，說精彩實非易事。寫作的過程是一個painstaking process, 我從構思到定稿大概花了三周多的時間，而且幾易其稿。而辯論賽中的presentation，更是要求寫得邏輯縝密，絲絲入扣，兼具文采。我們常常要在短時間內同時就一個辯題寫正反兩方的辯詞，這種寫作的訓練，在平時是很少見的。

口頭實戰訓練則無疑是強化口語的最佳途徑。在講臺上或在辯場上，我們需要擁有一個清醒而敏捷的頭腦，并習慣用英語思維。有人說口才好是天生的，這也許有幾分道理，但我的經驗告訴我，后天的訓練也不可小覷。通過每天的強化訓練，我們漸漸習慣于“think while we speak”，語言也變得越來越流利, 甚至能夠在即興的辯論中不時冒出精彩之語。現在想來，集訓的那段時間，我的英語口語水平，寫作能力和口才可以說是達到了學生時代的一個高峰。

比賽給我語言上的幫助可能還在其次，更重要的是它是一種思維的游戲。即興演講和辯論賽對于選手心智的磨練都是非常taxing的。它們都要求我們就某一個controversial issue在短時間的思考后take sides, 然后在腦子里迅速羅列問題正反兩方的major arguments并抓住自己支持的一方進行有條不紊、清楚有力的闡述。

不過，演講因為缺乏與人針鋒相對的交鋒，還僅僅是一個人的思維的“直線式”的表達。相比之下，辯論則是在雙方劍拔弩張的緊張氣氛中對于參加者的語言和思想的更為嚴峻的考驗，可以說是口語交流中的最高境界。一個勢均力敵的選題，給雙方都有很大的辯論空間，辯手運用嚴密的邏輯論證和各種辯論技巧，可以形成很精彩的對話。即便看似uneven的選題中處于劣勢的一方，也常常可以打破慣性思維，從另一個角度或常識的相反面去思考，從中找到合理而有說服力的論證，“山窮水復疑無路，柳暗花明又一村”。我覺得這種充分激發思維的活力，從不同角度來思考問題的方式，對習慣了一言堂，習慣去尋找一個標準答案的中國學生而言，更值得提倡。當然，由于辯論雙方都必須堅持己見，觀點有時難免偏頗，但不論怎樣，我覺得從純粹的intellectual exercise來看，辯論還是不可多得的訓練方法。

國外許多知名大學都有speech club和debating club。而記得我作為“21世紀杯”演講賽的獲勝者參加英國English Speaking Union的workshop的時候，也親眼目睹許多外國朋友年紀小小就成為出色而老練的演講者、辯手，不由感嘆西方良好oral tradition對年輕人的熏陶。相比之下，我國的教育在這一塊就欠缺許多了。正因為這樣，當年比賽時就有老師感慨，不應只有參賽的一小部分同學得益于這一類的口語和思維訓練，也不應只為比賽而比賽，而應當將這種培訓機制化、經常化，使更多的同學感受此中的妙趣，得到鍛煉。推廣這一類的社團，從小處講，可以培養個人的口才和能力，從大處講，有助于推動民主空氣的形成。

學會挑戰自我任何一個比賽，都不僅是實力的比拼，也是心理素質的較量。中國不像西方那樣有很好的oral tradition, 能夠在大庭廣眾之下對自己的觀點侃侃而談，這對許多在傳統教育模式下成長起來的擅長考試而訥于口語表達的中國學生來說是一個不小的挑戰。同時，比賽不僅是數十名選手展示個人風采的舞臺，也是各高校之間暗自較量的地方，選手往往還肩負著學校榮譽的擔子。因此，如何很好的對待自身和外界的壓力，發揮自己的水平，是除了實力之外演講者要面對的另一大問題。

1998年我參加演講比賽時是頂著挺大的壓力的。這不僅由于比賽的規模和影響力之大，也由于此前一年，我代表學校參加“外研杯”英語辯論賽與冠軍失之交臂。因此再次參賽時我就有一種患得患失的心理，生怕這一次不能取得更好的成績，“無顏面對江東父老”。

壓力對每個選手來說都是存在的，如何排解它還要看自己。海明威有一句名言“重壓下的輕松”(grace under pressure)，是我很欣賞的，但要做到并不容易。我記得在備戰的過程中有一部名為“Listen to Me”的美國電影給了我很大的激勵。影片講述的是一支名不見經傳的大學辯論隊克服重重困難，最終挫敗來自名校的對手，折桂全美大學辯論賽的故事。從他們的刻苦訓練和慷慨陳詞中，我似乎感受到一種敢于挑戰自身極限的勇氣。可能是在這種心態下，我做到了把勝負暫且置之度外，經過充分的準備，最終奪冠。

生活不總是賽場，但這種頂住壓力、自我超越的精神卻能夠指導我們的生活。研究生畢業后，我考入中央電視臺英語頻道成為一名記者。有的朋友對我的選擇頗感意外。因為我性格比較內向，似乎與風風火火的記者形象不夠“match”。但對我來說，這恰是一個welcoming challenge.兩年多的記者生涯使我對生活有了新的感悟。如果說學生時代賦予你一個寬松的環境可以悠閑的做一點學問，你習慣了與老師同學，書本里的先哲和自己腦海中的假想人物對話，那么記者的生活則完全不同——整天跟時間賽跑，與形形色色的人交流，然后要求自己在極有限的時間內寫稿，編片，讓新聞在第一時間播出去。適逢在外地報道，或是針對一個突發事件的報道，那么對記者的要求就更為苛刻。任何狀況都可能隨時出現— 聯系采訪困難重重；寫稿的時間特別緊張；做出鏡的時候，由于時間和場景所限，可能必須一遍過關，還不能是平鋪直敘；在傳送片子的時候隨時都可能出現意外。相比之下，當年演講賽面對的那種壓力，可能就不算什么了。壓力雖然很大，但每每在完成各種看似的mission impossible的時候，我的成就感也是巨大的。記得在齊齊哈爾采訪日軍遺留化學武器造成重大傷亡的新聞的時候，我遇到了上述所有的困難。不過還是咬牙一個個克服了，我在一周的時間內發回了系列報道，有的還是獨家采訪。其中有一條新聞后來獲得全國新聞彩虹獎二等獎。

六年過去了，北外的學生生活已成為我青春的背影，演講比賽的諸多細節隨時間的流轉成為逝去的記憶。在這六年里我的生活也發生了諸多變化，而當年那些為比賽全身心投入過，期待過，哭過和笑過的日子則成為大學生活美好記憶的裝點。我想，在學生生活里有過這樣一段經歷，是彌足珍貴的，而這種人生體驗還將在無形中影響我今后的人生旅程。

第四篇：全國英語演講比賽冠軍演講稿

第八屆“21世紀·愛立信杯”全國英語演講比賽冠軍-上海外國語大

學顧秋蓓演講稿

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.Today I would like to begin with a story.There was once a physical 1)therapist(臨床醫學家)who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a 2)census(調查)about

mountain 3)gorillas(大猩猩).These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world;this put them severely under threat of 4)poaching(偷獵)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 we've ever been, where in the very depth of the African rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas 5)cuddled(擁抱)their babies。

Yes, that's 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.To me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a 6)timeless(永恒的)reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our ecoenvironment.Today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems.On the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go.It has become a lifestyle for some people, and has

turned out to be the driving force in GDP growth.It has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity.But on the other hand, many problems can occur---natural scenes aren't natural anymore.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.All these 7)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 8)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 world's

attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our ecoenvironment.Now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection

organizations an: receiving donations--big notes, small notes or even coins--from housewives, 9)plumbers(水管工人), ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and 10)invalids(殘疾人), Some of them can not afford to send the money but they do.These are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from

ecological damage in their neighborhood.Why? Because they care.Because they still want their Mother Nature back.Because they know it still belongs to them.This kind of feeling that I have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it, it's all coming from a scene to remember, a scene to recall and to cherish.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.And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's lime for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.Once again, I have come to think of Mrs.Dian Fossey be-cause it's with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our

ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.And no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our mind, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.
