英语比赛演讲稿1

I'm 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 tting 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,

Xi'an, 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 I've 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 ourlves 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?"

"We're already in the Eastern Suburbs," I replied.

He emed taken aback, "I thought you Chine have walls for

everything." His remark t 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

第 1 页 共 10 页

international student. For instance, he told me that universities

like Oxford and Cambridge were not surrounded by walls; the campus

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 tho that impede China's

development.

Let me give you an example.

A year ago, when I was working on a term paper, I needed a book

on business law and found a copy in the law school library. However,

the librarian turned down my request with a cold shoulder, saying,

"You can't borrow this book, you are not a student here." In the end,

I had to spend 200 yuan buying a copy; meanwhile, the copy in law

school was gathering dust on the shelf.

At the beginning of this mester, I heard that my university has

started not only to unify its libraries but also link them up with

libraries of other universities, so my experience will not be

repeated. Barriers will be replaced by bridges. Through an inter-library loan system, we will have access to books from any library.

With globalization, with China integrated into the world, I believe

many of the intangible walls will be knocked down.

I know globalization is a controversial issue, and it is hard to

say whether it is good or bad. But one thing is for sure: it draws

our attention to China's tangible and intangible walls and forces us

to examine their roles in the modern world.

And how about the ancient walls in my city and other cities?

Should we tear them down? Just the opposite. My city, like Beijing

and other cities, is actually making a great effort to prerve the

第 2 页 共 10 页

walls. The walls attract not only historians and archeologists but

also many schoolchildren trying to study our history and cultural

heritage. Walls have turned into bridges to our past and to the rest

of the world. If the ancient builders of the walls were still alive

today, they would be proud to e such great change in the role of

their walls. They are now bridges that link East and West, South and

North, and all countries of the world. Our cultural heritage will

survive globalization.

尊敬的各位老师、同学们：

大家早上好！

我的名字叫，今年12岁了。这一次，我获得了“全国中小学生英语口语大赛”一等奖，感到非常辛运，在这里，我要感谢我的父母，是他们给我创造了安静的环境让我更好的练习口语；感谢我所在的`三义里小学，是这所学校给我了这次参赛的机会；感谢我的班主任程老师，是她精心指导我怎样说英语；感谢我们办的全班同学，是他们一直在支持我，鼓励我。谢谢你们！

我从英语是全班最差的同学，变成了一个获得过“全国中小学生英语口语大赛”一等奖的英语小天才，我无数次的不想再坚持练下去，我用自己与同学们玩的时间，在练字。我是多么希望像别的同学一样，快活的玩着。我就像一个还没有完全学会走路的小孩，一路走的磕磕绊绊，可是，我用自己的毅力克服了自己，慢慢的我去认真地走好每一步，最终我是成功的，我是快乐的！

此时此刻我捧着手中的奖，心里感慨万千。虽然并不多，但我想这每一个奖的背后都是各位同学日夜苦战，用自己的勤奋努力和老师家长们的付出换来的。我不想说我们累，更不想说我们苦。因为我们是青春、潇洒的90后，风雨过后我们依然会展露笑容，今日的累是为了我们明日的辉煌，为了我们肩上那不可推卸的历史重任。我相信我们会做的更好。

不过，获得了奖并不意味着就达到了我们的目标而可以停滞不前。在人生旅途中，获奖只是一种助推器，而不是最根本的动力器。我们要如何前进？答

第 3 页 共 10 页

案就掌握在我们自己的手中。所以，奖并不是我们最终的目标，而是我们前进路途中的一股动力。我们应正确看待这种奖励和荣誉。不能因为一时取得好的成绩而骄傲，也不能因为成绩一时不理想而气馁。学习就如逆水行舟，不进则退。只有不断地努力，不骄不躁，认真对待学习，不轻言放弃，看淡得失。以一颗平常心，踏实勤奋。才能取得更优异的成绩，才能创造更美好的未来。当然，没有获得奖的同学更不能放弃。要努力起来，哪怕最终没有成功，最起码自己努力了，也无愧于心。

作为一名学生，面对获奖，我除了些许的紧张和好奇，更多的是一份坦然，我们相信努力就会成功。在此，我也想送上我衷心的祝福，希望你们能放飞自己的理想，创出更美的辉煌。谢谢大家！

谢谢大家！

英语比赛演讲稿3

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen:

Before western and Chine civilization came into clo contact,

Chine people had always longed for a life depicted in traditional

Chine paintings. Tho paintings prent a harmonious coexistence

of people and other life forms. Regarded as the esnce of ancient

Chine philosophies, harmony has been deeply-rooted in the minds of

the Chine people. On the one hand, it has contributed to the unique

continuity of Chine civilization. On the other, Chine people

became too much contented with their achievements to desire any

further changes. As globalization deepens, it is bound to affect our

ideal of harmony.

First, globalization urges China to speed up its modernization,

which threatens our regard for the harmony between Man and Nature.

For instance, many dams and hydropower stations are being built for

economic benefits at the expen of the well-prerved natural

habitats. However, ecological malpractice of such kind goes against

第 4 页 共 10 页

the notion of harmonious coexistence in ancient Chine philosophies.

More than 2,000 years ago, long before the concept of environmental

protection came into being, DuJiang Weir, a great irrigation project

was built in southwestern China's Sichuan province. It succeeded both

in controlling floods and in facilitating the agriculture without

posing a threat to the environment.

Moreover, globalization has brought with it inten competition.

Traditionally, moderation is a golden principle, presiding over

inter-personal relations in China. Today, however, motivated to come

to the top, some people become so lf-centered that they choo to

sacrifice love, friendship and even family ties.

Last but not least, diver cultures have met in China as a

conquence of globalization. Therefore, a clash of cultures becomes

inevitable. Unfortunately, the past decades have witnesd a huge

loss of cultural heritage in China. In cities like Beijing and Xi'an,

hundreds of century-old Chine-style hous are being demolished to

make room for skyscrapers, shopping malls and eight-lane expressways.

From the examples, we e the disharmony brought about by

globalization. Yet it is not globalization that is to blame. As long

as we approach globalization with harmony in mind, its benefit will

outweigh its cost. Take my hometown, Hangzhou, for example, thanks to

the strenuous efforts made by the municipal government in achieving

eco-development, various water birds have returned to the West Lake,

calling it home again after years of migration elwhere. From the

lake bank, we e skateboarders and trick cyclists showing off

together with people flying kites and kicking shuttlecocks on the

plaza nearby. Although they compo a picture quite distinct from

traditional Chine paintings, this picture conveys a modern n of

第 5 页 共 10 页

harmony in this era of globalization.

Ladies and gentlemen, to conclude, I would like to quote from

British philosopher Bertrand Rusll. In contrasting Chine and

Western civilizations, he obrved: "The distinctive merit of western

civilization is the scientific method; the distinctive merit of the

Chine is a just conception of the ends of life. It is the two

that one must hope to e gradually uniting." As we e the

tremendous progress China has been making drawing on experience

abroad, we may also expect the Chine traditional value of harmony

to enrich the world. I look forward to the time when Rusll's

prophecy comes true.

Thank you very much.

I Love You, China!

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, I’m very glad to make a

speech here. Today my topic is “I love you, China.”

Since the day I was born, I began to have a proud name—Chine.

Since the day I began to talk, the most beautiful ntence I’ve ever

learnt has been “I love you, China!”

I love you, China, and I’m so proud of being a Chine. I’m

proud that I’ve got the beautiful yellow skin, black eyes and black

hair. I’m also proud that I speak the most beautiful language in the

world—Chine.

I love you, China, for I can feel the deep love you give me every

day, every minute. Last year, I got an opportunity to visit the

United States of America. During my staying there, my father’s boss

once invited my family to dinner. While at table, he looked at me and

asked: “Little boy, how long have you been in America?” “About a

第 6 页 共 10 页

month,” I answered, “How lucky you are!” he said, “If you were

living in China, how could you learn such perfect English?” I smiled

and told him proudly that all the students in China are able to learn

English at school. I saw his surprid eyes and said to mylf,

“I’m proud of you, China. For you are offering us the best

education.”

When I came back from the USA, my friends asked me: “How do you

feel about your staying there?” “Wonderful” I said. “Then why do

you come back?” Hearing this, I told them there were lots of

beautiful countries in the world, but none of them can compare with

our own country—China. How true the saying is: “There’s no place

like home!”

I love you, China. As a young student, all we should do is to

study hard and devote ourlves whole-heartedly in the future, to the

great cau of building you into an even stronger and greater country

in the world. I love you, my dear motherland! I love you, China!

Thank you for your listening !

When I was still a freshman in college, one Scottish professor

complained to me about being overcharged at a grocery store. He

explained that many business owners in China would assume that white

“foreigners” are rich and unable to understand Chine. My amiable

professor, unwilling to start a conflict, would always pay the undue

price even though he was only meagerly paid by my university and was

able to speak perfect Mandarin.

As a student of humanities, I’m particularly intrigued by the

ramifications of cross-cultural encounters entailed by the new era.

We have to bear in mind that whenever we talk about the new era,

第 7 页 共 10 页

there is always an old era that keeps haunting us in various ways.

Last year I went to the University of Tokyo for a one-year exchange

program. Before I left, my grandma emed quite distraught and

apprehensive: she told me to take care of mylf as if I was about to

go to the battlefield.

But we Chine are not the only ones infested by outdated

misconceptions. When I was bidding farewell to my American professor

at an academic writing class in Japan, she stopped me and asked me,

“Are you really from China?” At first I thought she was pointing at

my handsomeness, asking me whether I had been to Korea for plastic

surgery. Well, clearly this is another stereotype that we should get

rid of. But to my disappointment, she was actually referring to my

English skills. “I’ve never met any Chine student who can talk

and write like you do,” She said, “You must have been stayed in the

States for some time, haven’t you?” It does em that even a

specialist in linguistics can’t escape the illusion built up by the

last generation of Chine students: gauche and diffident, unable to

articulate themlves in English.

Nevertheless, such stereotypes are becoming a thing of the past.

When professors around the globe meet with an increasing number of

students from China with both language proficiency and academic

competence, well-qualified students will no longer be a surpri.

Moreover, with more people going abroad and enjoying firsthand

encounters with different cultures, people like my grandma will no

longer be subject to the fossilized, antiquated narrative of the

past. The interesting thing is, after I told my grandma my

experiences in Japan, how clean, safe and beautiful their cities are

and how nice, polite and considerate their people are, she gladly

第 8 页 共 10 页

removed Japan from the list of least-want-to-visit foreign countries

and put it instead to the most-want-to-visit one.

Even the shop owner near my campus is now repenting for his

peccadillo. When gradually more international purchars become his

patrons, he would no longer treat them differently. And he would even

occasionally call out for them, yelling “come, come,” “cheap,

cheap,” “thanks thanks” with a very strong Chine accent.

Meanwhile, my Scottish professor has now equipped himlf with Wechat

and Alipay, assimilating amlessly into the local life here.

The old era is like a cocoon, protecting us from possible dangers

outside and providing us with warmth and comfort. However, an

overreliance on memories and experiences of a long-gone past can also

hinder us from genuine, meaningful interactions for the future, just

as the cocoon can also rve as a wall to bar us from the beautiful

world outside. But in order to make a brand-new attire or to build a

modern silk road, we have to plunge the cocoons into hot water and

obtain the silk despite the pain. So ladies and gentlemen, don’t be

trapped by the old era. Transcend it, and embrace the new one.

Thank you.

this is a glass of water, tasteless, right? however if you add

sugar, it will taste sweet, but if you add vinegar, it will become

bitter. the same is true with our life____ the flavor is created by

our choices.

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

tho bricks , you will have an concentration camp.

so my dear friends, never complain that life is boring and the

world is disappointing. if don’t like the taste of your life, change

the ingredients.

three year ago, i weighed more than 100 hundred kilograms which

caud significant embarrassment and frustration in my life. like

always failing my p.e examinations, like always being laughed at by

girls, like being terrified to speak in public. it was my

grandmother’s encouragement that revived from my passive attitude to

become confident in mylf. she said “ my dear, if you can’t change

you figure, why not treat it as your own style. so i began to

cautiously employ the new way of thinking. by choosing to change my

outlook on life, i developed the confidence to make a difference and

finally i found a totally new world.

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.
