负责人：

指导老师：

二、活动准备阶段

在比赛初期，学习部各干事在各班进行宣传，鼓励各班的同学积极报名，统计参赛人数并进行核对，将参赛人的名单、上场序号、参赛时间及地点打印出来并张贴至公告栏。

在此次决赛之前，我部各班干事到各班进行宣传组织各班学生到赛场进行观看，以扩大演讲比赛的影响力。在正式比赛之前为体现“公平”原则，组织各参赛选手进行抽签，已决定各选手上场顺序，比赛过程中，每两名选手进行一次统分及报分，以体现比赛的“公开”性。决赛结束后，各评委对选手的表现进行了点评，指出了个选手在比赛过程中的不足和缺点，提出对同学们的期望，以及对同学们的鼓励，经过评委的评比打分，最终角逐出：一等奖3名，二等奖5名，三等奖10名，以及优秀奖20名。

四、比赛结果及活动存在的不足之处

参加本次英语演讲比赛的共有44人，经过激烈的角逐，共有17人获奖，分别是一等奖1名，二等奖3名，三等奖5名，以及优秀奖8名。

通过这次英语演讲比赛，使我们认识到学习英语的重要性和学习英语的关键性。这次英语演讲比赛促进了我系学生学习英语的积极性，丰富了大学生在校的课余生活。同时，我们也从这次英语演讲比赛中发现了我系学生学习英语所存在的一些问题。如：学生的英语底子薄弱；学生学习英语的积极性不够高。有些学生的胆量不够大，上台有些胆怯。由于这些问题的存在，我学习部今后要从以下几个方面着手来提高我系学生学习专业课及学习英语的兴趣，提升我系的学习氛围。

一.针对我系的请况，定期的开展一些针对性的学习讲座和活动。让各位学生在活动中学到知识，陶冶情操，开阔视野。

二.在平时的教学中。学习部将对各班的教学情况进行检查，给学生学习的压力，让他们用心去学习。

三.在平时的学习中，学习部将会定期的向其他系学习，把他们的经验吸取过来，为我们所用。

我相信，经过全系老师和学生们的共同努力，一定会提高我系学生的学习氛围，提高学生对英语的学习兴趣。当然，还有一些问题在今后的活动中也会逐步的解决。

篇四：英语演讲比赛活动总结范文

由信息工程学院、体育学院、法学院和马克思主义学院学生会学习部联合举办的迎新英语演讲比赛终于落幕了。这次大型活动的举办，对学习部来说，无疑是具有着重大意义的。在活动举办的整个过程中，我们一直坚持“增进友谊、服务同学”理念，认真做着每一件事情，尽可能地注意到每一个细节，力求将这次活动办得让老师们满意、让同学们满意、让自己放心。经过此次活动，我们从中获益匪浅，当然，其中出现的很多不足之处，也值得我们去认真思考。

成绩：

首先，对此次活动，我们四个院学习部之间进行了深入的沟通与交流，在物资设备申请、教室借用、评委礼物、PPT制作等方面，我们分工具体、明确，四个院之间坚持互帮互助、通力合作，为此次活动的顺利进行奠定了良好的基础；

其次，在人员安排方面，我们四个院的准备较为充分，包括主持人、礼仪小姐、记分员、茶水员、音响调试员、多媒体设备控制员等方面都做了周密、详尽的安排，保证了活动完整、有序地开展；

最后，在活动环节中，我们添加了爵士舞表演和十佳歌手演唱环节，十分有效地活跃了现场了气氛，也调动了观众参与活动的积极性；不足：

虽然取得了一定的成绩，但我们更多的，是要关注在活动中所出现的不足之处，以便于吸取教训，为以后活动的更好开展奠定基础。

第一、活动前期的准备工作略显仓促，赛前的赛制商量不明确，直至比赛开始之前的前几小时才通知到选手以相关的赛制改变事宜。部分选手上台之后因紧张而说不出话的原因与此有一定的联系；

第二、活动形式上还需进一步创新。此次的比赛我们仍采用了以往的普通赛制，部分观众因对演讲比赛的环节失去了兴趣，中场离开，导致了现场其他观众的躁动和离场，影响了整个活动的质量；

第三、活动现场的秩序较为混乱。现场的少部分观众未能很好地控制自己的情绪和行为，在比赛现场大声喧闹，不仅影响了选手的发挥，也影响了主持人的发挥，造成了现场的很多尴尬局面。在以后的活动中，一定要记得安排好秩序维护员是一项很重要的工作。

此次演讲赛给予了我们很深的感受，在以后的工作中，我们一定会吸取经验，认真组织，争取把每一次活动办到更好。

选班长演讲稿600字三：竞选班长演讲稿600字(652字)

敬爱的老师，亲爱的同学们：

大家好!我叫，相信大家对这个名字一定不陌生吧!今天，站在这个讲台上，我自信地告诉大家：“我竞选的职务是班长!”

我担任班长已有几年了，在管理方面有一定的管理和经验。遇到突发事件能及时告诉老师并解决;班里的最新情况能及时向老师反映;收发作业、通知更是义不容辞……可是老师的得力助手哦!

我对同学们也很好。当同学们有困难时，我会义不容辞地去帮助他渡过难关;当同学们有不懂的问题，我总是细心地为他们讲解;当同学们遇到烦心事时，我会告诉他时刻保持一个乐观的心态，协助他解决烦心事;下课时，我总是和同学们一起嬉戏玩耍，放松身心。

我对学习有浓厚的兴趣，这兴趣又让我在学习中展现我的风采。丰富的课外知识，优异的成绩是我聪明才智的体现。课堂上，总能看见我高高举起右手的身影;作业上，总能看见我一丝不苟的态度;难题上，总能看见我静静思考的样子……这习惯，让我在全班同学和老师的心目中留下了优秀学生干部的形象。同时，我还是《珠江青少年报》的记者，参加年级的奥英培训，为班级活动做小主持。

我用勤奋的汗珠换来了丰硕的成果：第六届全国1+1读写大赛中获得银奖;连续多年被优秀班、队干部、学习标兵;全能奖，读书之星，南海区优秀学生，十佳少年等。望着眼前的一张张奖状，我告诉自己：“没有最好，只有更好，要继续努力，做得更好!”

假如我当上了班长，我会更加严格地要求自己，以身作则。在学好每门功课的同时，做好老师的小助手，同学们的好朋友，积极开展各项活动，请同学们相信我，投我一票。

我的发言完毕，谢谢大家!

敬爱的老师，亲爱的同学们：大家好!

我叫___，今天竞选的是副班长这个职务。

今天是我第一次竞选副班长，也是第一次站在讲台上竞选。也许你们会很奇怪，我竞选的岗位居然是副班长。有的同学可能会暗自发笑：副班长不是应该有能力的人来担当吗?我知道我的能力不足，但是我认为我可以带领大家创造一个优良的环境，因为我不但有一颗积极向上、负责任的心，并且我热爱集体，团结同学，有较强的工作能力，所以我认为我可以胜任这个职务。虽然我各科成绩都很一般，但是我会努力做到优秀。

倘若我可以竞选成功，那么我会以身作则，做好大家的榜样，配合老师和班长搞好集体。不会偏袒自己的朋友，做到人人平等。我会在大集体中起到带头的作用，尽到自己的责任，不失职。我可以向大家保证做到以下几点：

1.遵守纪律，不乱丢垃圾，帮助同学，为班集体争光。

2.不摆班干部的架子。

3.积极帮助同学，不斤斤计较。

我的演讲完了，希望大家多多支持我!请投给我宝贵的一票吧!

谢谢大家!

FUTURE IS NOW

What is future?Every time I look at the stars in the sky,I ask myself.Its realy a hard question to answer it.The universe is boundless,we dont know where are we from and where shall we go.I stand there,at sea.

Last Sunday,there was a rain of meteors.I went to the belcony towait for their coming.Above my shoulder,it was the wind.Above the wind,it was the sky,huge and blue,with sparkling stars.Suddenly,a shooting star appeared.I hurried to pray for her happiness,staring at it.I wanted to pray for more,but it had already died out.I realised ,future is not carved on the meteors,but its now,around us.

When a fortune-teller look at your palm,shell tell you how your future will be like.Thats a way you place your hope on.But its not realistic.The future is the things and people around you.What you should do is to try to do everything well,dont care much about the results.Be kind to all the people around you,and love them.Although the world is not full of love,the life is not a bed of rose,you should sdick on your belief.When time passes,youll find everything you do is worthwhile.

Years is glorious.Because no way you can stop time from elasping.How time flies!Just like the flowers in spring,the sunshine in summer,the moon in mid-autumn and the snow in winter.Maybe one morning youll never wake up,youll never see the sunrise or the sunset;youll never see your sweatheart or talk to her,youll never hear the sound of the nature or wander on the path among the trees,youll never swim in the lake or climb the mountains.

Time is gold.Every minute is precious.We should make best use of it.Dont waste even one minute.Spend time in working,in laughing,in playing games and in loving.

Each of us has a kite flying in the sky,and we also have a string each.

Childrens kite is childhood,the string is grown.

Lovers kite is love,the string is daily life.

I have a kite,it is called dream,the string in my hands is reality.

The wind which makes kites fly is future.Kites are not free,but we still have power to control them and let them fly higher and higher.The string is in my hands,future is now in my hands.

Future is now,forget the fortune-teller,clench your fists!

A Young Idler,An Old Beggar

Almost everyone knows the famous Chinese saying：A young idler，an old beggar. Throughout history，we have seen many cases in which this saying has again and again proved to be true.

It goes without saying that the youth is the best time of life，during which ones mental and physical states are at their peaks. It takes relatively less time and pains to learn or accept new things in a world full of

changes and rapid developments. In addition，one is less likely to be under great pressure from career，family and health problems when young. Therefore，a fresh mind plus enormous energy will ensure success in different aspects of life.

Of course，we all know：no pains，no gains. If we dont make every effort to make good use of the

advantages youth brings us，it is impossible to achieve any goals. As students，we should now try our best to learn all the subjects well so that we can be well prepared for the challenges that we will face in the future.

Universities have a critical role to play in helping our country tackle this challenge, and I want to thank everyone at WashU who has been part of that work.

There really is no time to waste. The problems driven by climate change are getting worse – and that’s something you’ve seen right here during your lifetime.

The recent Mississippi River floods have affected life in St. Louis and they have devastated farmers across the Midwest. Those types of natural disasters will continue to get more severe with climate change, according to the best scientific data.

The trouble is too many politicians aren’t interested in hard science. They’re only interested in political science and winning their next election. So they ignore the data, they try to cut funding for climate research – because they know it will undermine their political argument. Sometimes they even try to block public employees from uttering the words – climate change.

You can’t make this stuff up. You just have to wonder, what are they trying to hide? And the only conclusion I have drawn is that they’re either hiding their own ignorance or their own bad faith.

Either way, when government tries to gag scientists and censor our conclusions, watch out and speak up.

Dear friends:I am a rich girl, because I have a lot of treasure.

Friends are my treasures. Whenever I am sad and down, I know they would hold my hands and warm my heart. They show me how amazing the friendship is.

Families are also my treasures. Whether time find us far apart or it keeps us close together, they are always standing by my side. They tell me how wonderful to be loved by people you love.

Experience is my treasure. Whatever good or bad situation I have to face, it would show me the right way. It helps me to know more about life.

I believe I will be richer in the future., because the way of life is just like a journey of finding treasure .You never know when and where you can find them. You just keep going and they will be found in some time at some place. I will cherish what I have had and keep finding with my curiosity and passion .

I fall in love with reading, because I can get the treasure of knowledge .

I take part in activities, because I can find the treasure of cooperation.

I enjoy music, because I can find out the treasure of beauty.

Life is precious ,isn’t it? How can we get so many beautiful and valuable things without life?

Dear friends, Let’s feel the world with heart, carry the sun inside you, and reach out for the dreams that guide you where you want to go. You will have what it takes to make our path of success. That is the treasure of life!

译文一：

大家早上好!在这里演讲是我的荣幸,我很高兴与你分享我的话题。那么今天我想谈谈哪个更重要,时间或金钱。有些人常说:“金钱比时间更重要。“他们认为如果人们有钱。他们可以买衣服,食物,饮料,房屋、汽车、电脑等等。但我不这么认为。

因为当时间走了,我们不能把它弄回来。但是我们可以继续赚更多的钱。

我们可以利用时间来赚钱。但是我们不能用金钱来获得时间。失去的财富也许被行业所取代。失去了知识的学习。失去的健康通过节制或药物恢复,但失去的时间一去不复返。

我不能浪费我的时间赚钱。所以我认为时间比金钱更重要。我们必须充分利用我们的时间去学习和工作。每一刻在历史上是一个短暂的时间,珍贵而独特。

学生,你热爱生命吗?那么,别浪费时间,因为生命是由时间组成的。人生很长,如果你知道如何使用它。让我们节省我们的时间。

好的,谢谢你的倾听,仅此而已

译文二：

永不,永不放弃

我们经常听到人们说,“永远不要放弃。“这些可以鼓励的话语和文字的决心。一个人相信他们将继续努力达成他的目标无论他失败了多少次。在我看来,决心成功的质量很重要。因此,我认为我们应该永不放弃。

原因之一是,如果我们太容易放弃,我们很少会一事无成。我们不是不寻常的失败在我们第一次尝试新事物,所以我们不应该感到泄气和应该再试一次。此外,如果我们总是放弃当我们失败,我们将无法发展新的技能和成长的人。我们应该永不放弃的另一个原因是,我们可以从错误中学习如果我们做出新的努力。如果我们不试一次,我们学到的教训是浪费。最后,我们应该永不放弃,因为当我们努力达到我们的目标,我们发展的信心,这信心能帮助我们在我们生活的其他领域中获得成功。如果我们不挑战自我,我们就会开始怀疑自己的能力。

总之,重要的是,我们不放弃当我们努力追求目标。我们最终成功与否,我们将学习一些东西,我们学习将帮助我们变得更好,更自信的人。此外,如果我们放弃,我们不可能实现我们的目标,但如果我们继续努力,总有一个机会,有一天我们会成功的。

译文三：

亲爱的朋友:我是一个富有的女孩,因为我有很多宝藏。

朋友是我的财富。当我伤心时,我知道他们会抓住我的手,温暖我的心。他们告诉我友谊是多么神奇。

家庭是我的宝藏。是否时间找到我们远或者它让我们近,他们总是站在我身边。他们告诉我如何美妙的被你爱的人爱着。

经验是我的宝藏。无论好或坏的情况我不得不面对,它会告诉我正确的方法。它帮助我了解生活。

我相信我将来会更富有。,因为的生活方式就像一个旅程找到宝藏。你永远不会激励模型知道何时何地你可以找到他们。你继续和他们会发现在某些时间在某个地方。我将珍惜我所拥有和不断寻找我的好奇心和激情。

我爱上阅读,因为我可以得到知识的宝藏。

我参加活动,因为我可以找到合作的宝藏。

我喜欢音乐,因为我能找到美丽的宝藏。

生命是宝贵的,不是吗?我们怎样才能得到那么多美丽的和有价值的东西没有生命吗?

亲爱的朋友们,让我们感受到世界的心,带着太阳在你内心,和接触的梦想指引你你想去的地方。你将如何使我们的成功之路。这是生活的宝藏!

My father values talent. He recognizes real knowledge and skill when he finds it. He is colorblind and gender neutral. He hires the best person for the job, period.Words and promises, no matter visionary they sound will only get you so far. In our business, you’re not a builder, unless you’ve got a building to show for it, or in my father’s case, city skylines. Most people strive their entire lives to achieve greatsuccess in a single industry.My father has succeeded in many on the highest level and on a global scale. One of the reasons he has thrived as an entrepreneur is because he listens to everyone. Billionaire executives don’t usually ask the people doing the work for their opinion of the work. My father is an exception.

finally, when leaders wrap themselves in the flag, or the national anthem, and try to make you think that critics of your government don’t love and respect our country, real patriotism isn’t about honoring symbols. Real patriotism is about bringing truth to light, and when action is required, standing up and taking action.

In other words, real patriotism is about taking pains. So if you remember nothing else from today, remember that phrase. Or, to make it even simpler, just remember: T-Pain.

Graduates, as you leave this great university, I hope you will take the pains that are necessary to preserve and extend our democracy. Take pains to understand the other side. Take pains to expose lies. Take pains to reject scapegoating and xenophobia. Take pains not to fall for easy answers. And take pains to hold our leaders accountable for their words and their deeds.

If you do that, I have no doubt that truth – and America – will prevail. And my generation will be able to say, as we pass the leadership torch to yours, the same words that Washington spoke with his last breath: ‘Tis well.

So tonight, have one last drink, maybe at T’s, dance to your own beat or to the beat of Ninja Turtle Backpack Guy, and tomorrow, get to work. The world needs you more than ever.

Congratulations, and good luck.

There’s Prospero in the Tempest, while the Duke of Milan he wishes quote to only be transported and wrapped in the secret study and he feels his library large enough. This, however, creates the opportunity for this evil brother to stage a coup, landing him on a remote island were to be sure his dark arts mastered in secret study come in handy, as may yours.

Or there’s Ferdinand, king of Love’s Labors Lost, who enlisted three subordinates to join him as quote brave conquerors who will forswear the baser impulses of love, food and sleep in order to study and learn only to be confounded in his dedication when he finds himself falling in love.

I suspect that many of you during your time here have lived closer to the experience of Ferdinand than to the experience of Prospero.

The advent of modern American university which largely happened in the last century has been the institutionalization of that human dream and this little physical space in which we gather together this morning is in many respects the near perfect fulfillment of that human vision. I know no other that can match it.

The columns, pillars, pediments, demes, classical inscriptions ascending steps, granite and limestone and marble and brick facades, which surround us convey the message that this is its own universe, a place governed by strictly observed code of academic inquiry, an insistence on open dialogue, informed by all-pervading skepticism and respect for the legacy of human achievement, created about a century ago, the Morningside campus represents the idea of an ordered, classical and even inward-looking world. To walk on to this campus is to feel one’s I.Q go up by 10 points.

My dream

I enter tile university after years of hard study and preparation(准备). But life in the university is not as satisfactory(满意) as what I had expected. I become lazy and dont want to

study.I become silcent. I become puzzled. I dont know what I can do in the future. Then I become unhappy.

Four years in the university is only a short period when compared my whole lifetime. Now it has passed a half. In this year, many people ,such as my parents,my friends, ask me what I want to do and tell me to map out a plan for my life. I dont want to follow their suggestion, and I want to go my style. So I think carefully. I have been a young volunteer(志愿者) for five years.Its very happy and significant. Then I have a dream.I want to join the University Student Volunteers Go West Programe. I think I can be a teacher in the west.I want to try my best to help them and help me. I want to see the world cearly. Now I cant reach its demand and its very diffcult,but I will work hard in the next two years. There is an old saying"where there is a will,there is a way.(有志者事竟成)"I think my dream can come ture.Now in the university I mature,and in the university I prepare for the real world.

At last,I want to say to everybody"Hlod fast to your  dreams,no matter how big or small they are.The path to dreams may not be smooth(平滑) and wide,even some sacrifices(牺牲) are needed.But hold on to the end,you can find there is no geater happiness than making your dream come ture."

You have earned the endorsement of those who have come before you and we expect that you will honor the legacy of improving the world by your contributions in [the] years to come.

And while it may not be easy to determine your passion or decipher your purpose, we will always be here to support you as you navigate this experience we call ‘life’.

We will always be here not just to tell you, but to show you that the only way around adversity isn not around it at all; it is straight through it.

So, expect adversity – expect adversity, excuse me. Invite it. And embrace it. Because it will be your greatest asset. It will help you be a better human being. It will teach you the same thing my mother taught me…that no morth and prosper!”

atter how bad you feel, that even at your lowest point, you got this.

Because Dukies…Dukies hear clearly, graduates, Dukies are like titanium. We might be dented on every side, but we are never crushed. And in the final analysis, we are “forever Duke”.

On behalf of our proud trustee, our esteem faculty, our distinguished alumni, our devoted families and our unparalleled friends gathered here and across the globe virtually, I welcome you to this very special moment in time. Today, we continue a 265- year-old tradition that binds us with a sense of pride and hope and of deep and never-ending curiosity.

We initiate those who are committed to a world of openness and debate, who have learned the power of discovering the unknown and who have accepted the great responsibility that comes with acquiring knowledge into a community steadfastly poised to shape our world for the better. At the end of our time together today, joining a legacy of those who have come before them, we will have a new class of alumni representing 16 distinct schools along with affiliated institutions of Teacher’s College and Bernard college.

The potential for trouble is palpable. And as we explore the profound meaning of this moment, there is one special part of our community deserves unique recognition. Graduates, as much as we, your faculty, feel deep, deep affection for you, nothing can compare to the pure, unqualified adoration of your parents and families, though you will never be able to express fully the infinite gratitude I know you feel, please take this opportunity to thank them.

For my remarks today, I have three parts. I want to talk about the idea of the academy, about the enemies of the search for truth and about what we are to do.In awarding you the degrees in your respective field, we recognize your academic accomplishment and now acknowledge your expertise in some area of study. But you are now also an expert in higher education in America, simply by virtue of your presence and deep engagement with this little world over the past several years.

Dear audience and judges,

My topic is "Can money buy happiness".

As we all know, money can buy all the goods in our life, no matter how huge it is. A spaceship, for example, if you really feel your bank account can afford it.

However, when it comes to love, satisfaction, happiness and many other human feelings, it is completely not like this. The result of many recent research can support my point. They said that, though people received far more money than ever, their standard for happiness also rised. That means, if you had one yuan, a car might be your dream, but if you had one million, you might consider owning a space trip. So when people always hope for those they can not afford, they will push themselves to an unhappy situation.

Anyhow, money equal wealthy in life but not happiness in mind. Only by changing our attitude to money and enjoying every day, can we obtain a truely happy future!

Almost everyone knows the famous Chinese saying：A young idler，an old beggar. Throughout history，we have seen many cases in which this saying has again and again proved to be true.

It goes without saying that the youth is the best time of life，during which ones mental and physical states are at their peaks. It takes relatively less time and pains to learn or accept new things in a world full of changes and rapid developments. In addition，one is less likely to be under great pressure from career，family and health problems when young. Therefore，a fresh mind plus enormous energy will ensure success in different aspects of life.

Of course，we all know：no pains，no gains. If we dont make every effort to make good use of the advantages youth brings us，it is impossible to achieve any goals. As students，we should now try our best to learn all the subjects well so that we can be well prepared for the challenges that we will face in the future.

I enter tile university after years of hard study and preparation. But life in the university is not as satisfactory as what I had expected. I become lazy and dont want to study.I become silcent. I become puzzled. I dont know what I can do in the future. Then I become unhappy.

Four years in the university is only a short period when compared my whole lifetime. Now it has passed a half. In this year, many people ,such as my parents,my friends, ask me what I want to do and tell me to map out a plan for my life. I dont want to follow their suggestion, and I want to go my style. So I think carefully. I have been a young volunteer for five years.Its very happy and significant. Then I have a dream.I want to join the University Student Volunteers Go West Programe. I think I can be a teacher in the west.I want to

try my best to help them and help me. I want to see the world cearly. Now I cant reach its demand and its very diffcult,but I will work hard in the next two years. There is an old saying"where there is a will,there is a way."I think my dream can come ture.Now in the university I mature,and in the university I prepare for the real world.

At last,I want to say to everybody"Hlod fast to your dreams,no matter how big or small they are.The path to dreams may not be smooth and wide,even some sacrifices are needed.But hold on to the end,you can find there is no geater happiness than making your dream come ture."

In sports, we call for “fresh legs” when our health is on the decline, when our bodies are met with dis-ease, or when veteran players get sick or tired. I would submit that my generation, most of your parents’ cohort, is the veterans and frankly, we are winded. We’ve been in the game since the clock started. Now, don’t get it twisted. W still got it. Thank you for that. But we still need your enthusiasm, your emotional intelligence and your energy to impact the field of play in this game we call life.

So let’s wrap this thing up – you ready? I asked you: were you ready? Because it’s time to move on to the really exciting stuff...the conferring of degrees! Somebody say amen.

So let me leave you with this.

Duke is a very special place. To get in is no small feat, but to get out is a real accomplishment.

Every one of you graduates is to be commended for your hard work and effort to this point. From our youngest grad at 20 years old to our most seasoned grad at 72, somebody say amen, you are all awesome and we are truly proud to welcome you into the Duke Family!

Saying goodbye to childhood,we step into another important time in the pace of young,facing new situations,dealing with different problems.....

everyone has his ownunderstanding of young,it is a period of time of beauty and wonders,only after you have

experienced the sour ,sweet ,bitter and salty can you really become a person of significance.thre time of young is limitted,it may pass by without your attention,and when you discover what has happened ,it is always too late.grasping the young well means a better time is waiting for you in the near future,or the situation may be opposite .

having a view on these great men in the history of hunmanbeing,they all made full use of their youth time ,to do things that are useful to society,to the whole mankind,and as a cosquence ,they are remembered by later

generations,admired by everyone.so do something in the time of young,although you may not get achievements as these greatmen did ,though not for the whole word,just for youeself,for those around!

the young is just like blooming flowers,they are so beautiful when blooming,they make people feel happy,but with time passing by,after they withers ,moet people think they are ugly.and so it is the same with young,we are enthusiastic when we are young,then we may lose our passion when getting older and older.so we must treasure it ,dont let the limitted time pass by ,leaving nothing of significance.

Youth Ideal Future

Good evening, everyone. My name is WangHaili. I am an outgoing girl who likes reading and traveling. It’s really my great honor to stand here and give everyone a short speech.

People say, youth is fire which is ignited by passion. People say, youth is a chapter of the poem which is written by stories. The color of youth is bright and we make most use of our ardor to draw the scenes to the canvas of painting. But we may be confused and lose our direction in the youth time. Under this, youth slips away. Roman Roland says, life doesn’t issue return ticket and can never come back once sets out. So we should seize the short youth time and try our best to pursue our ideal. Do what should we do and let our youth without regret.

When we refer to ideal, we will realize the importance of ideal. Ideal is the beacon,. Without ideal, we will lose the firm direction. Without direction, we will lose our life. According to this, every one of us should establish our own ideal .so that we have the direction of straggle to the future. Tolstoy tells us, we should have the life objective from the whole life to the second. So we should cherish every moment and form our systematic objective. Youth is the prime time. We have strong body and energy and can sense the meaning of life under the guide of ideal.

As we know, the ideal is plentiful and reality is skinny. But we should believe that we will become stronger and stronger in the way to pursue ideal. Future is unknown,. If we hope our future is nice, we should enrich our youth time and find the direction of future.

Let us use our youth to pursue our ideal and make our future wonderful. So we will have gorgeous life.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, it is my great pleasure to give my topic with you.Eh, I am just a little nervous right now. And I usually sing a song when I feel nervous. So would you mind me singing a song? Of course not!(sing the song…) Did I sing well?Okay, thank you. Do you like this piece of music? Yes or no? By the way, do you know the name of the song? Who can tell me? ---Yep! You are right! The name of the song is Imagine me without you. As for me, I can’t imagine me without English in my life. Why? Please wait a moment. You will get the answer from the following content. Let’s back to our topic.

As we all know, English is an international language. I am 14 years old now and I’ve learnt English for 9 years. It has become a part of my life. I think English is not only important but also very useful to me.

I have never thought that, I would pay such more attention to learning English because when I was six, I always got bad marks at school and I could not figure out the letters “ R” and “K”。 Yeah, that is impossible.

One day, my mom came to school and took me home and she saw the letters on the blackboard. She pointed to “R” and asked me “What is this?”---“R”。 “And what about this one”? She pointed to “K”。---“R”! I answered. “Are you sure?”---“Yep, mummy, They are the same!” I said confidently! My mom shook her head with an upset face. She was so disappointed with me. From then on, she tried to use many different ways in order to improve my English, such as inviting the private teachers with high salary; finding foreign teachers online; buying lots of English books or encouraging me to enter different English competitions and so on. And I also worked very hard. I got up early every morning to read English books aloud and had English classes for hours. Sometimes I felt really tired and I had no progress. I felt frustrated! Luckily, my mum is always with me! She wanted me to learn everything happily but not with lots of pressure. She tried to make me relax. It was a kind of logical game. Would you like to have a try? Follow me, please! Raise your hands up. This is a gun in my left hand and there are four birds in my right hand. Now I need to exchange them like this. Try to do it as fast as you can! Can you do it? Well, maybe it is a little difficult at first. So did I. So I tried it patiently and carefully again and again. You see, I can do it as fast as I can now. I think the way to learn English is still the same. After a difficult training time, I found that: the more English I’ve learnt patiently,the more confidence I’ve got and the more interested I was in learning English.

I am an outgoing girl. I love to explore and know more about the world. I have some friends from different countries. At first, I could not follow them clearly. But they were friendly. They treated me as a member of their family. We could play jokes to each other or share something interesting together. I remembered one day I had mentioned to my American teacher that I had a fight with my friend and I felt left behind. She stopped for a moment and said: “It doesn’t matter. I am always with you.” At that time I felt really warm. Sometimes I talk with my friends on Skype and some of them on QQ. And one of my friend came from Philippines had asked me to give him the QQ red bag.Very interesting, right?

During the time when I learn English, I understand a point clearly that is “Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can. There will always come a time you will be grateful you did.” We should always in siston what we are seeking. I wouldn’t give up learning English. Thanks for your listening.
