”A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.He went on and came to a r→←iver. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.
【译文】一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去，当他沿着路走时，在路的一边他发现一箱好苹果，他说：“我不打算吃那些苹果，因为富人会给我更多的食物，他会给我很好吃的东西。”然后他拿起苹果，一把扔到土里去。他继续走，来到河边，河涨水了，因此，他到不了河对岸，他等了一会儿，然后他说：“今天我去不了富人家了，因为我不能渡过河。”他开始回家，那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的，他找到苹果，很高兴地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。不要把好东西扔掉，换个时候你会觉得它们大有用处。
Beauty usually refers to what appeals to the eye. A nice and well built girl is regarded as beautiful. A bunch of vigorous flowers are also considered as beautiful. A splendid waterfall coming down from a mountain is as well looked on as beautiful.
Beauty also refers to what appeals to the mind. The virtue of the Chinese nation-industry and bravery are taken as beautiful, because it helped to produce such a magnificent culture in the world. Einstein's theory of relativity is also perceived as beautiful, for it explains many natural phenomena so perfectly.
Beauty is around us. If you keep an eye or pay some attention, it is never difficult to find something beautiful somewhere about you. Wonderful natural spots, historical relics,fine arts, splendid buildings, and kind people are just a few inches away.
【二】英语演讲稿1分钟范文：Youth
Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind it is not rosy cheeks ， red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness it is the freshness of the deep springs of life 。
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite ， for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 。 Nobody grows old merely by a number of years 。 We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years wrinkle the skin ， but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul 。 Worry ， fear ， self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust 。
Whether 60 of 16 ， there is in every human being ？s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what?s next and the joy of the game of living 。 In the center of your heart and my heart there?s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty ， hope ，cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young 。
When the aerials are down ， and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ，even at 20 ， but as long as your aerials are up ，to catch waves of optimism ， there is hope you may die young at 80. That?s all ！ Thank you!
Good afternoon, my honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen and fellowcontestants:
I feel so happy to have the chance to make a speech. The title of my speechis Protect the Environment, Protect Ourselves. I hope you will like it.
Everybody knows waste paper and used coke cans are discarded everywhere.You might have seen plastic bags flying in the sky and getting caught in thetrees when the wind blows or maybe you have seen old cans floating in the riversand polluting the water. Our environment is the place in which we live, but itis being ruined by us.
There is a story about house and trees. It is said that a man's house wassurrounded by a lot of trees. Though the wind was strong, that man could have agood rest under the trees. How comfortable the life was! One day, that manwanted to enlarge his house, so he cut down all the trees. Then the autumn camewithout the protection. The strong wind blew the roof of the house into the sky.The whole house was gone with the wind. What a pity! But that's the price peoplehave to pay for destroying in the ecology balance. People shouldn't beshort-sighted. Protecting the environment is everyone's task.
1分钟英语演讲稿
I, general De Gaulle, speaking from London, invited the French officers and soldiers who may be in British territory now or at a later date, with their arms or without their arms─I invent the engineers and the workers skilled in the manufacture of armaments who may be; now or in the future, on British soil─to get in touch with me.
Whatever may come, the flames of French resistance must never be extinguished; and it will not extinguish.
Tomorrow, as I have today, I shall speak over the London Broadcast.

That’s all ，Thank you.
Good morning, dear teacher and classmates:
As everyone knows, English is very important today. It has been used everywhere in the world.
