3分钟英语演讲稿（通用33篇）
The man I admire is a white haired grandfather.
Speaking of him， I have no deep impression on him. In my eyes， he is just an old man over 60 years old. He never talks. I dont know his name yet. Every time I go to school and school， he cleans the street near my intersection， whether its windy or rainy.
It is this ordinary grandfather who tells the extraordinary truth. I still remember that day， the grandfather was still sweeping the street. I was walking on the road after school and saw my grandfather sweeping the street. Suddenly， my grandfather coughed. I hesitated for a moment and decided to help him， but he stood up by himself. I was afraid that my grandfather would fall ill， so I asked， "grandfather， why do you sweep the streets every day？ Are you a sanitation worker？" he laughed and walked away. The next day， I asked him the same question. "Im not a sanitation worker，" he said solemnly. "I sweep the streets because I want to contribute to society. The reason why I dont leave a name is that no one will remember what you did — except yourself！ "I was silent， and I was proud to know such an old man. But for the next ten days， I didnt see my grandfather. After that， I knew he was dead.
Now， selfless dedication has become a "rare species.". We should learn from grandfathers quality — selfless dedication！
Dear teachers and students:
good morning！
My dear students， when you arrive at the school gate every morning， is the bell ringing？ Nervous？ The answer must be yes！ The reason is that everyone will say with one voice： "traffic jam"！
The congestion phenomenon is not only felt by us， but also understood by the school！ In order to effectively solve the congestion at the school gate during the rush hours of school and school， ensure the students safe travel， cultivate students good awareness of abiding by rules and the ability of self—care and self—improvement， maintain the safety of students and create a safe campus， the school proposes that parents pick up and send them to the designated place and queue up to enter the school.
Lets tell our parents， send their children to school， do not enter the school gate， this is conducive to the cultivation of childrens happy mentality and self—care ability. Dont gather around the school gate to block the passage. Its better to pull over 10 meters away from the school gate and let the children walk into the campus. Do not park at the school gate， so as not to affect the smooth road， hinder traffic， and cause potential safety hazards.
When picking up the children， the exit of the student team should not be blocked， so as not to affect the order and safety maintenance of the student road team. Please make an appointment with your child in the schools designated pick—up area. Let the children consciously and punctually go to the designated place to find their parents. This can reduce the burden of parents looking for their children.
In order to let us grow up safely， healthily， civilly and happily， the school encourages parents to cultivate their childrens ability of self—reliance and self—care. On the premise of safety guarantee， parents will pick up their children to designated places and queue up for school.
Good morning，ladies and gentlemen：
my great pleasure to share my dream with you i was a child，i wanted to be a teacher. my father was a teacher，and he taught me a lot. i worshiped him very much. on my tenth birthday，he asked me，“what do you want to be when you grow up？”i answered proudly，“i want to be a teacher like you！”on hearing this，my father was very happy and said to me，“work hard and your dream will come true.” not long ago，one of my primary school teachers was ill. she wanted me to take her place for two weeks. i was glad but nervous. my father said to me，“this is a good chance. seize it！i wish you success！” when i came into the classroom，the children were very happy. i introduced myself to them. soon，i got on well with them. they all liked me and i loved them. with my father and headmaster＇s help，i did the work very well. now，i often miss those lovely children.that experience had made me even more interested in being a teacher in the future.
thank you！
A Brother Like That
A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it.
Is this your car, Mister? he said.
Paul nodded. My brother gave it to me for Christmas. The boy was astounded. You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn t cost you nothing? Boy, I wish . . . He hesitated.
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels. I wish, the boy went on, That I could be a brother like that.
Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, Would you like to take a ride in my car?
Oh yes, Id love that.
After a short ride, the boy turned with his eyes aglow, said, Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. Will you stop where those two steps are? the boy asked.
He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car.
There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn t cost him a cent. And some day Im gonna give you one just like it . . . then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that Ive been trying to tell you about. Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride. That Christmas Eve, Paul learned
what Jesus meant when he said: It is more blessed to give . . .
翻译：像这样的哥哥
我的一个朋友叫保罗，他哥哥送给他的一辆汽车作为圣诞礼物。在圣诞前夜，当保罗走出办公室时，一个男孩正在一辆闪闪发亮的新车走来走去，他正在欣赏它。
这是你的车吗，先生?他说.
保罗点了点头。我哥哥送给我的圣诞节礼物。男孩很惊讶。你是说你哥哥给了你，你什么也没花吗?男孩，我希望。..他犹豫了一下。
当然，保罗知道他想要什么。他要希望他有一个像那样的哥哥。但这个小家伙说的话却大大出乎保罗的脚后跟。我希望，男孩继续说，我可以是这样的一个哥哥。
保罗惊愕地看着那男孩，冲口而出地说：你要不要坐我的车去兜风吗?
哦，是的，Id爱说。
过了一会儿，男孩转过头来，眼睛闪闪发亮，说：“先生，你介意开车经过我家门口吗?
保罗微微一笑。他认为他知道孩子想要什么。他想告诉他的邻居，他可以乘坐一辆大汽车回家。但保罗又错了。你会停在这两个步骤的地方吗?男孩问。
他跑上台阶。过了一会儿，保罗听到他回来了，但他不快来了。他带着他的小弟弟。他让他坐在最底层的一步，然后对他挤了一点，指着车。
她在那里，Buddy，就像我告诉你的楼上。他哥哥送给他一个圣诞节礼物，花了一分钱也不给他。总有一天我会给你一个就像它。..然后你可以看到你自己所有的漂亮的东西在圣诞节的窗口，我一直试图告诉你。保罗走了出来，把孩子抱到车的前座上。闪亮的眼睛的哥哥爬在他旁边，他们的三个开始了一个难忘的假期。那个圣诞夜，保罗学会了
Jesus说的是什么意思：给予更多的祝福。..
good morning, dear teachers and fellow students. it’s my great honor to stand here and share a happy morning with you. i am no. _____ . today my topic is “ so much to learn.”
hello! my dear friends !do you like reading books? i guess all of you will say yes. am i right? thanks to books, we have got a lot of knowledge. on the other hand, tv is another way of getting knowledge. i still remember: last year, i watched an exciting speech on tv. it was given by american president obama, i could feel his great charm. i admire him. yeah, at that time i made a decision: i try to learn english well and some day i can have a talk with him. however, it’s a pity that my english is not so perfect. what can i do? how can i do it? ah, so much to learn. don’ t lose heart! just do it! i say to myself aloud. if you set up your mind to learn it, you will get much knowledge. i am sure you will achieve your goal.
ok! so much knowledge for us to learn. we should do our best to learn it. we must try our best to learn it as much as possible. because knowledge can make us be learned and wise; because knowledge can make our country develop very fast; because knowledge can make our world be in harmony. ok! let’s keep trying!
as you know, now i am a junior high school student. my school life is very wonderful and there are so many interesting subjects for us to learn, such as chinese, english, maths, history, and so on. ok, let me tell you something about my school life. i hope you will enjoy it. in my chinese lesson, i can recite the old wise sayings: “ isn’t it a pleasure that friends come to see you from far away?” “ what you know, you know; what you don’t know, you don’t know.” these words are so educational. meanwhile, i like english very much. in my english class, i try to practice my oral english. ok, i have a dream that some day i can travel around the world and make many foreign friends. all right! history lessons bring us much enjoyment, and i can have a talk with the great people in history, such as conficius, qinshihuang, dr.sun yat-sen, and so on.
at last, i would like to say, we shouldn’t waste time, life is limited while knowledge is boundless. aha, there is so much to learn. maybe you like reading; maybe you like singing;… maybe you have a lot of other hobbies, it doesn’t matter, if you like it, just learn it. just do it. don’t hesitate. knowledge is power. there is no choice but to learn. what’s more, you are never too old to learn. am i right? my friends, open your eyes, can you see the flame of knowledge burning forever? yeah, i can see it. i can see it clearly. come on, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen. let’s swim in the ocean of knowledge; let’s climb on the top of knowledge. at that time, you will be a learned person with much knowledge. you will be the happiest person in the world.
坚持你的方向
what would you do if you failed? many people may choose to give up. however, the surest way to success is to keep your direction and stick to your goal.
on your way to success, you must keep your direction. it is just like a lamp, guiding you in darkness and helping you overcome obstacles on your way. otherwise, you will easily get lost or hesitate to go ahead.
direction means objectives. you can get nowhere without an objective in life.
you can try to write your objective on paper and make some plans to achieve it. in this way, you will know how to arrange your time and to spend your time properly. and you should also have a belief that you are sure to succeed as long as you keep your direction all the time.
School begins， I changed from the fourth grade to the fifth grade now. In the eyes of young students， Im already a big brother， and Im also a good example for junior students. I want to give full play to my advantages and leave them a good impression. First of all， I have to change my characters. Although my handwriting is OK， its a little bit "lopsided". I must change it when its not serious.
I also need to learn how to save. Although the covers we use for wrapping books are getting old， they can be recycled. However， there are still some people who have enough old book covers at home and urge their mother to buy a new one. There are also some people in order to save newspapers or already useless posters wrapped in the cover， and then write books. I advocate this practice， which saves parents or their own money and is durable. There are also stationery， some people clearly have pens at home， but also go outside to buy some back. You know， its a lot cheaper to use the old one than to buy the new one. Although I am the same， but I will try my best to correct it， because I know that the money of my parents is hard won， and the money is earned by their sweat and labor. Usually we ask our parents for money when we are free， so 1 yuan， 2 yuan， 5 yuan. As time goes by， dont our parents spend all the money they earn from their hard work？ Isnt the money parents have made over the years in vain？ We should try to spend less of our parents money.
From now on， I will do a little bit of things around me， students have difficulties to help him as much as possible， strive to be the three good students of this semester.
Parkour is a sport activity with the purpose of moving from one place to another as efficiently and quickly as possible,using only the physical skills of the human body.It is used to overcome obstacles,which can be any obstacle in the environment on fences and stone,to pillars,walls and bars and can be practiced both in urban areas and rural areas.
Founded by David Belle in France,parkour focuses on efficient movements to develop the training of the body and mind,to be prepared to overcome obstacles in an emergency.Can also be a form of entertainment or a way to spend your free time.This sport is also called l’art du deplacement / the art of movement / art movement or even free-running.The term “parkour” is derived from the French “parcours go combattant” in translation meaning “to overcome an obstacle” .
Free running is the term used by Sebastien Foucan in Jump London documentary to refer to parkour,term which later came to describe a sport based on acrobatics,different from the original discipline Le Parkour.
Practitioners of this discipline are called tracers .The sport is practiced mainly in urban areas,involving jumps in,on,through and around obstacles such as railings,stairs,pillars,,trees,buildings,etc..They consider this kind of training a way of liberation from the constraints imposed by other sports and one standard for overcoming the induced limitations .
Parkour is classified as “wow!” an extreme sports.Practicing this discipline does not require wearing special equipment,sites developed,prepared before or other obstacles.Parkour is very simple,fluid movement from one place to another,to which are added run speed,climbing,jumping,spectacular and efficient movement,imagination,improvisation and other complex techniques.If sport “parkour” performed by you does not include items listed above,then you are doing fitness.
What is friendship? It is to relate with somebody without need for money or objective. It is to need emotion and over wealth is friendship , no matter what their background , age , or personality.
Friendship can be pure. We hear , nowdays, however, how one can be cheated by friends. Many people get along with someone because they have a lot of money. It is doultful that is real friendship.
Having friends, one can be find happiness. If you are in trouble your friends will help you through or at least comfort you. When you are happy , they share it with you. They are also there for you to chat with at any time.
It is a wonderful feeling, as the proverb says" to love each other is easy but to make frieds is hard", So, it is crutial that we should get along with our friends. In my opinon ,it is a shame to deceive your friends . The world would be more beautiful if it was full of filled with friendship.
with the development of science and technology, change has penetrated into every aspect of our daily life. to illustrate that, i'd like to make a comparison of these two seemingly insignificant things: milkman and mailman, whose differences indicate our changing way of living with the times.
home milk delivery has almost gone extinct in china now, also gone with it are the milkmen, who once delivered bottled fresh milk door-to-door. on the other hand, mailman's business or the courier service has thrived as online shopping gains popularity. however, in retrospect, i find something has been lost in this transition, something shakespeare called as “the milk of human kindness”。
when i was a kid, milk wasn't for sale everywhere. for the families who need it, they depended on the milkmen to take it from the local dairy farms to their houses. in our neighborhood, there was such a milkman, whose arrival was much anticipated by the children and always brought us laughter and joy. he knew the name of every kid and could easily see through our tricks. if we didn't behave, he would side with our parents and threaten to rob us of the nutritious drink. the entire neighborhood was acquainted with him; saw him as a member of the community just like the many residents or street vendors. there was a bond between all of us for it was not only the commodities that been transacted, but also a sense of caring and dependability. and that small box fixed onto our door, other than being a drop-off point for milk; it was a communication junction between the people as we took the initiative to reach out to others.
fast forward to today, milk is ubiquitous with no dedicated delivery system. but the convenience level of our live has gone up a notch. almost everything is for sale online, which spares us all the travelling and talking. with a few ready clicks, shopping is done. the rest is left for those speed delivery companies. usually it's a grumpy mailman, who reaches us throuugh cell phone, urging everyone to pick up their parcels as soon as possible. and the minute the receipt is signed, we rush back to unpack while the courier dashes to the next destination. there is barely a conversation carried out, nor do we feel the need to talk to such a stranger, who changes from time to time frequently. it seems that people are always in a hurry now, though we have more conveniences, still we run short of time to stop and stare, to speak and share.
call me an old-timer, but i think the personal touch represented by the milkman is what has been missing in the modern society. william wordsworth once wrote that “getting and spending, we lay waste our powers.” modern technology may have multiplied our possessions or gave us more conveniences, but we run the risk of reducing our values if we lay waste our power of interpersonal relationships.
good evening ,ladies and gentlemen: 晚上好，女士们，先生们：
thank you very much for choosing to come in such a cold night.today my topic is about choice and process.a research shows that a man has to make 73 choices one day.with so many choices one day, people easily get so confused and afraid of making wrong choice that they hesitate and finally miss the true part of life. in my opinion, the following part is of much more importance than the choice. there is no absolute right or wrong choice but wonderful or boring life, which the process makes the difference. 非常感谢你傅聪来选择在这样一个寒冷夜晚.今天我的话题是关于选择和process.a研究表明，一个人必须作出的选择73一一天，如此众多的选择，有一天，人们容易混淆，因此害怕作出错误的选择，他们毫不犹豫地并最终错过了真正的生活的一部分。在我看来，下面的部分是更重要的不是选择。没有绝对的对错选择，但精彩或乏味的生活，这使得该进程的差异。
life is a box of chocolate,you never know what you will get. forrest gump made no decision by and for himself but he accomplished great success with his strong will in the process. the process is not the road itself but the attitudes and feelings ,the caution, courage and persistance we have as we encounter new experience and unexpected obstacles. take myself as an example, i changed my major when i became a postgraduate. after the choice,days have been harsh for me.i cannot understand the new lessons at all. for they are closely related to mathmatics which i learned nothing about before. however wuth the belief that this is the great chance for me to experience new ideas and challenge myself,i persisted. i asked for help from every channel and reorgonized my life. gradually i could understand some parts and even found maths interesting.moreover, i learned to act instead of complaining. in retrospect,the choice left no trace in my mind but the happiness and bitterness of the past four months becomes an unforgetable experience in my life.
生活是一盒巧克力，你永远不知道下一步你会得到。阿甘正传作出任何决定，并为自己的成就，但他取得巨大成功与他坚强的意志的进程。这个过程是不是道路本身，而是态度和感情，谨慎，勇气和毅力，我们作为我们遇到了新的经验和意想不到的障碍。以自己作为一个例子，我改变了我的主要当我成为一个研究生。经过选择，天已经严厉的me.i无法理解新的经验在所有。因为他们是密切相关的数学，我的教训面前只字不提。然而密集的信念，这是很好的机会，我的经验新思想和新的挑战我自己，我依然存在。我要求帮助每一个通道和reorgonized我的生活。渐渐地，我能理解一些地方，甚至发现数学
interesting.moreover ，我学到采取行动而不是抱怨。回想起来，选择没有留下任何痕迹在我的脑海，但幸福和痛苦的过去4个月成为一个难忘的经验，我的生活。
no matter what the choice is, enjoy the process. in the process, your potential will be inspired and new discoveries,improvement and progress will come to you. these are the most beautiful sceneries and only on the way can you see it.these make your life colorful.
无论选择是，享受这一过程。在这个过程中，您可能会得到启发和新发现，改善和进步将来找你。这些都是最美丽的风景，只有道路上能看到it.these让您的生活多姿多彩。
there is no need and i donnot want to judge whether it right or wrong for me to be here,but i congratulate to myself for i gain and enjoy this fantastic experience. so my dear friends,never worry about your choice and enjoy the process. i am sure you will get something new and intersting tonight after you chose to come here. thank you!
没有必要，我donnot要判断是否正确或错误，我来这里，但我祝贺我自己，因为我增益和享受这美妙的经验。因此，我亲爱的朋友们，永远不会担心您的选择和享受的过程。我相信你会得到一些新的和有趣后，今晚你选择到这里来。谢谢您!
On New Years Eve,our class had a atmosphere was was out of the ordinary from the very boy student from one bedroom gave an unusual saw a boy named Li Xinmin turn off all the lights in a sudden with three resounding crow of a cock echoing in the hall,the hall was again brightly lit in a snap.
Then,the representative of the bedroom Zhu Guozhang asked us to guess a line of a poem related to the above added that Li Xinmin alone was born in the year of the dog and the other three were all born in the year of the left us all in it was our monitor who was shouted our,“The day breaks as the cock crows three times at dawn.” The hall After that,they had another item.
This time Li Xinmin was placed in the middle of the he was standing there,the other three stood around him,each bowing down to him at an angle of 120 was an time I got it right:“The dog stands out among a group of chickens.”
Then we all sang and played games until it was eleven oclock at old man on night watch came to turn off the had to tear ourselves away from the party. From this activity,I discovered that many of our classmates are
really talented singers.
In this day and age, environmental degradation presents great danger to thepublic. People in my country, and other places, have to bear polluted water andhaze day after day. As public awareness of the need for environmental protectiongrows in these countries, it is urgent to learn how to establish a green lifestyle.
To achieve a green life style, we must adjust our behavior. This can bedone even with simple things. For example, we could sort out our trash forbetter recycling. At home, we can use lights and other electricity only whenneeded. We should properly maintain air conditioners twice a year so they willrun efficiently, and, even more importantly, make sure doors and windows fitproperly and are sealed so that we can use less energy in heating and cooling.Other simple steps that make a big difference include using publictransportation instead of driving private cars.
Commuters can choose to take buses, subways or share cars with others,which not only relieves traffic jams but also reduces gas emission.
In my mind, it is high time to establish a general concept of sustainabledevelopment and green life style in China. The Earth has provided humans whatthey need; it is time to pay back. Only through a green life, can we ensure thatwe and our children live in an environment with green water and mountains,without traffic jams, and in an era with better living habits.
在这一天和年龄，环境恶化，对公众的巨大危险。在我国的人，和其他地方，都必须忍受污染的水和烟雾后的天。随着公众对环境保护的认识在这些国家的发展，迫切需要学习如何建立绿色生活方式。
要实现绿色生活方式，就必须调整我们的行为。这可以做，即使简单的事情。例如，我们可以把我们的垃圾分类回收利用。在家里，我们只能在需要的时候用电灯和其他的电。我们应该适当地保持空调一年两次，这样他们就可以有效地运行，甚至更重要的是，确保门窗安装正确，并密封，以便我们可以使用更少的能源，在加热和冷却。其他简单的步骤，使一个很大的区别，包括使用公共交通，而不是驾驶私家车。
通勤者可以选择乘坐公交车、地铁或与他人共用汽车，这不仅能缓解交通拥堵，还能减少废气排放。
在我看来，这是建立可持续发展和绿色生活方式的一般概念在中国的时候了。地球为人类提供了他们所需要的东西，是时候偿还了。只有通过绿色生活，我们才能确保我们和我们的孩子生活在一个环境中，绿色的水和山区，没有交通堵塞，并在一个时代，有更好的生活习惯。
Embracing otherness. When I first heard this theme, I thought, well, embracing otherness is embracing myself. And the journey to that place of understanding and acceptance has been an interesting one for me, and it's given me an insight into the whole notion of self, which I think is worth sharing with you each have a self, but I don't think that we're born with know how newborn babies believe they're part of everything; they're not separate? Well that fundamental sense of oneness is lost on us very quickly. It's like that initial stage is over -- oneness: infancy, unformed, primitive. It's no longer valid or real. What is real is separateness, and at some point in early babyhood, the idea of self starts to form.
Hello everyone!
I have a dream that one day every vally shall be exalted，every hill and mountain shall be made low，the rough places will be made plain，and the crooked places will be made straight，and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed，and all flesh shall see it together.
Wow，what a dream it has been for Martin Luther King. But the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up，and sometimes I personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.
However，we meed dreams. They nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. They keep us going. Most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great. When we were little kids，we all dreamed of doing something big and splashy，something significant. Now what we need to do is to maintain them，refresh them and turn them into reality. However，the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how to translate these dreams into actions. Well，just start with concrete objectives and stick to it. Don’t let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong belief of future. Through our talents，through our wits，through our endurance and through our creativity，we will make it.
Hold fast to dreams，for if dreams die，life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams，for when dreams go，life is a barren field frozen with snow. So my dear friends，think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever it is，pick it up and make it alive from today.
Thank you!
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, honorable judges and distinguished guest! This is Alex time! Ha-ha…My topic today is to show our gratitude to people around you.
Then what is gratitude? At the moment a well-known song comes into my mind. Yes, that is called Heart of feel grateful. My heart is filled up with gratitude because I’m with you/Your make me courageous to be myself from cradle to the grave/So now I wanna thank for destiny/I’ll cherish the flower when it blooms until falls. The poetic lyric tells us that gratitude is actually a state of mind.
Once upon a time, the Pilgrims took the May Flower Ship to North America. They started a new life there although a lot of difficulties and hardships they encountered. After a long-time work, they got a big harvest. The Pilgrims had a feast in 1621 near Plymouth, Massachusetts, which is often referred to as the first Thanksgiving. People show their sincere gratitude towards the God, the nature, the earth, the river, the Indians and themselves.
How can we express our gratitude? It’s never a simple question to answer. Gratitude is a rare jewel, not a piece of cake, I know. But how can we expect such big events happening now and then? How can we be ready to say thank you ahead of time? How can we always hope to be grateful to everything and everyone for their dignity and generosity? Sometimes I may ask to myself. Is it moral? Is it honest? Is it beneficial? Is it necessary? Or the most interesting one, is it ridiculous? Ha-ha…So in my opinion, we’d better concentrate on our life’s details.
At last, what’s the significance of showing our gratitude? A proverb says that Gratitude is the sign of noble souls. Wow! Until now I am not that kind of giant, but I dare to say that everyone, you and me, has the right and the duty to show our gratitude to the world, no matter rich or poor, happy or sad, young or old. Only by doing so can we achieve our human ultimate concern. Meanwhile it obviously helps to build up a harmonious society.
All in all, a world full of gratitude is preciously expected for thousands of years. Why not show our gratitude to people around you?
Thank you very much!
Last month, I happened to watch an interview of a Chinese student studying abroad. At one point the hostess asked: "For how long have you been away from home?" "Three years," he said. "How do you keep in touch with your parents?" "We wrote emails," the young man replied proudly. "Then I guess your parents learned how to send an email just because of you, right?" Having heard this from the hostess, the young man was speechless for a long time. Indeed, in the world today, it is not easy for the elder generation to keep up to date with the rapid development of technology.
This story reminded me of my concerns when I first left home for college three years ago: My parents don't understand English. They couldn't identify the buttons marked in English on our remote controls. So when I was away from home, who would help them select Chinese subtitles when they wanted to watch a foreign movie on our DVD? My parents don't use pinyin, the phonetic symbols for Chinese. Therefore, they couldn't input Chinese characters into their cell phones using the keyboard. Without me, whom could they depend on when they needed to reply to a text message? I worried a lot, so before I left, I carefully prepared a flow chart on how to operate the DVD player, and stored as many template messages in my parents' phones as I could possibly think of.
Fortunately, my efforts did work for my parents. However, what makes me more optimistic is that society at large is becoming more concerned about the elder generation, and the fruit of technological innovation is no longer believed to be an asset only for the young people. Today, with simple Chinese instructions on the remote control, even my 80-year-old grandfather can play his favorite TV program on a DVD. Last year, with the money I earned from a part-time job, I bought my mother a new cell phone which supports handwritten messages instead of inputting words through a keyboard. And now, my mother no longer has to use the templates messages I've stored for her, instead, she now sends me messages as long as 300 words. The joy I have when reading those text messages is inexpressible, not only because of the words she writes, but also because our technology has indeed become a real blessing in her life.
Two years ago, the counter service in our neighborhood bank was replaced by an ATM station. With those intelligent machines, people can carry out all their regular banking services. My father, however, was not used to such a change. Thereafter, he always walked three blocks further to a bank with a counter to use their services. In the future, however, this will no longer happen, because when I went to that ATM station again last spring festival, I found a delightful change: the terminals there have adopted a voice guidance system. While I was there, I noticed a grey haired man using the voice instructions. And despite his hesitation between pressing the buttons, he left the bank with a satisfactory smile. What a marvel! My vision for the future was unfolding before my very eyes. At that moment, I rejoiced thinking of my father, someday, standing there using the banking service. I rejoiced thinking of myself that when I become old, the new inventions can still ease my life rather than making the life harder.
when i was seven, i started learning english. i played games and sang english songs with other children. sometimes, i watched english cartoons. it's funny. then i discovered the beauty of the language, and began my colorful dream in the english world.
i hope i can travel around the world someday. i want to go to america to visit washington, because my cousin is over there. of course, i want to go to london too, because england is where english language developed. if i can ride my bike in cambridge university, i will be very happy. i hope i can speak english with everyone in the world. also i'll introduce china to them, such as the great wall, and the gardens in suzhou. i will teaching people of the world about the beautiful language of our country.
i like the english language. to learn english is wonderful. i once wanted to be an english teacher . i also like chinese literature. when i was really young, i was able to remember lots of poems. i also wanted to be a teacher of chinese. now i think that both of my dreams can come true: i will be able to use english to teach foreign friends chinese and share chinese culture with them. so that more and more people will be able to get to know the 5000 years' history culture, and the prosperity of our great china.
my future is not a dream.
i have a wonderful family.i'm lucky to be a part of it.let me tell you about them. my family name is lee.my family history is long and proud.there are five people in my family now. my parents love me very much.they do a lot for me.when i need help, they are always there.
my dad is a strong guy.he's honest and hardworking.he's like a superhero to me. my mom is a smart woman.she can do almost anything.i just can't praise her enough. i have two siblings.they are my older brother and younger sister.sometimes we argue,but we mainly get along.
my family likes being together.we like eating out and going to the movies.we also enjoy hiking and having picnics. my family isn't perfect.we have our ups and downs.but we always forgive and make up. our motto is “united together forever.” i'll always cherish my family.i hope your family is lovely,too.
Gettysburg Address
Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.
We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of the field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground.
The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, ----that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion, ----that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, ----that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, ----and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
no.1 a helping hand 伸出援手
a man who lived in a block of apartments thought it was raining and put his head out the window to check. as he did so a glass eye fell into his hand.
he looked up to see where it came from in time to see a young woman looking down.
"is this yours?" he asked.
she said, "yes, could you bring it up?" and the man agreed.
on arrival she was profuse in her thanks and offered the man a drink. as she was very attractive he agreed. shortly afterwards she said, "i'm about to have dinner. there's plenty. would you like to join me?"
he readily accepted her offer and both enjoyed a lovely meal. as the evening was drawing to a close the lady said, "i've had a marvelous evening. would you like to stay the night?"
the man hesitated then said, "do you act like this with every man you meet?"
"no," she replied, "only those who catch my eye."

现在我是一名初中学生，我喜欢学习，我不是最好的一流的，但我仍然认为我是一个好学生。我的老师还认为!
你能想象我会多么的困难，当我遇到一个问题用英语，我不是完美的一个在我班上，我不喜欢英语，一开始我对此事一无所知英国是唯一的任务由学校和我的父母，我不是好孩子在那个时候。
但是，你知道，我真的想学到一些东西，现在我想要跟上所谓的主流，我想成为一名好学生。你能想像有多么困难当我面对简单的英语，我只是不知道。然而，在这最困难和最关键时刻，英语教师老师来找我，她理解我，我猜想，她付出更多的时间在这英语水平差的孩子，我想说感谢你我的老师。
do you remember what date is it today?
yes. more than half a century ago, the same time of today in 1935, when china was in trouble from both inside and outside, being at the edge of life and death, who was it that, excited with boiling blood, bravely stood out? it’s young students like you! again about a hundred years ago, when chinese territory was invaded and seized, who was it that stood up, roaring with anger: give back my land! again young students like you, who
added a histoy-making page of may 4th movement in chinese history! during the years of killings and fightings, countless number of students, for the sake of a bright china, had to give up their learning and marched toward the battle fields. they sacreficed their blood and life for the peaceful world which we have today. while we are priding ourselves on this, we must be clearly conscious that though there is no longer smoke of gunpowder, we face peaceful evoluation, police interference, sovereign right provocation, economic sanctions, and moreover the gang-up of splittists from home and abroad. these hidden unsafe factors will long be existing and slip in unnoticed at any possible time.
boys and girls, who will support china’s future? nobody else but you young generation! who will let china stand on top of the world? nobody else but you! who will keep five-star flag flying high against the blue sky? nobody else but you! young friends, be firm and be strong! for our pioneers, for our future, let’s sing together the song “in praise of our motherland”!
good morning/evening/afternoon, ladies and gentlemen :
today, my speech is about talents,in my opionion, talents are indispensable in nowadays society. as is known to all that the fight among countries is actually the fight among talents.
first, i'd like to define the word"talent" in my idea, a talent is one person who is good at or expertised in some or multiple areas. nowadays, as the world developing goes on , if one country want to rank top or do a good job in the world, the country must have many talents.for example, china, the biggest developing country in the world, in the past 100 years, is always invaded by other countries, why ,the reason is that china at that time had not so many talents. if they had anti-intrusion leader talents in the war, needless to say,they would have beat those big powers.if they had talents in weapons manufacturing, nodody dares to provoke us.however, nowadays, it's a totally different situation, china has become powerfulin all over the world, why ? because there are many talents serving the country, the civilians become more and more literated.more and more people go to university,more and more people come to receive further education. so what is that in return,talents in army protect our country from invasion, talents in commerce help make our economy keep in improving, talents in aerospace make the world see chinese manned spacecraft flying. talents in sports make china rank the first in the olympic games……
to sum up, talents will play a more and more impoetant role in the world, if one country intends to flourish, he must foster talents as many as they can ,that's all,thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen ,
Good evening ,I am joy and glad to give you a speech about stress , yes , just the topic you see on the screen.
Psychologist tell us that stress is a state of worry caused by the problem of living , such as too much work or study , heavy responsibilities , and quickened pace of life .Statistics show that stress comes from every detail in our life .Financial problems , poor health , being laid off may be the stress that most adults now suffering .As students in the university , we are also under our special stress .
While study , having to take various tests and submit a project against a deadline may put a great pressure on us .And the things make us felt stressed may be our parents’s greater expectations on us than we could reach .Later , when we are likely to graduate , some other problems will also annoy us .
I think we will worry a lot about our ability to compete in the job market and how we can best use what we’ve learned at college in our future job .The chief problem we should face to is our atitude towards stress .people usually say they can not live in the sun except they escape from stress .It’s unwelcome ! yes , however , very necessary .Just image a world where stress does not exist and people lead their life in a very comfortable way .But is this kind of living condition as perfect as we hope ?
without stress , they may feel very satisfied with the current life but lack of power to discover new things .Too much satisfaction result in nothing except a countermarch of the society .No stress , no development .So a certain amount of stress is good .
It can stimulate us and increase our level of alertness .And our answer to stress is another vital problem .How to do with ourselves when stress suddenly break into our life ? to wave the white flag and admit our unability , to give up to our ideality , or worstly , just to suicide as to put an end to everything …
of cause not .The principle is to tackle with stress gentlely and harmoniously.We should try our best to release ourselves .
Such as to do some exercise , to linsen to traditional chinese music or classical music to ease our minds and to learn to view these changes of life as challenges .it’s no use crying over spilt milk .Only to accept what has happened can solve the problem .
Ok , i think i was under large stress 3 minutes before , but now i am here and have finished my speech .
hello,everyone. good afternoon. thank you for giving me this opportunity to talk about my top concern. i'm no.26, i'll talk about friend.
everyone of us,rich or poor,should at least have one or two good friends. my friend will listen to me when i want to speak, will help me when i need,will take care of me when i am sick,and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.
when i was ten, i was suddenly confronted with the anguish of transferring to other school. i had to left my friends i had ever known. as a kid,i feel lonely when i study in a new environment without a person i had known. nobody i could talk,nobody could know when i feel lonely. the time when i couldn't sleep, i'll always miss them, then the tears filled my eyes.
later, i became familar with the environment ,and made some friends ,which became my best friends then. they talked with me when i felt lonely, they helped me when i needed, they took care of me when i was sick. even through we were part, we still keep in touch with each other.
in our whole lives,we'll meet too much people but only a few can be our best friends. when staying with them,we can release ourself completely. we can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry together. i should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives.
but in this fast-developing modern society, the reality is not that. more and more people forget to enjoy the beauty of friendship. they work hard in order to gain a higher position in the society and to earn more money for their work. they have few time to share with their friends. with the time goes by, they will be far away from each other.
Once, my foreign teacher asked us a question“Do you think worrying tomorrow is a good thing?”, I think about this question many times, my answer is absolutely “yes”, but enjoying this moment is more important. In China, it is a tradition that people save the money for tomorrow, so they spend less money; they only buy the things they need, then saving the rest of the money for emergency. In my opinion, people can take out small portion of the emergency money; they can make themselves live more comfortable, they can enjoy the life at this moment. My parents never travel, they think it is a way of wasting money, they consider the money should be used in a suitable way; they save it just in case the emergency. We should learn to make fun, who knows what will happen tomorrow, enjoying the moment makes the life colorful.
曾经，我的外语老师问过我们一个问题“你觉得担忧明天是好事情吗?”我考虑过这个问题很多次了，我的答案是坚定的，但是享受当下时刻更重要。在中国，人们会为将来存钱，这个一个传统，因此他们很少花钱，钱只花在他们需要的东西上面，然后省下剩下的钱来应急。在我看来，人们可以拿出应急那部分钱中的一小部分，以此来让自己过得更舒适，他们可以享受当下的生活。我的父母从来不旅游，他们觉得这是浪费钱的方式，他们觉得钱应该用在更恰当的地方，他们把钱存起来只是为了应急。我们应该学着去创造乐趣，谁会知道明天会发生什么事情呢，享受当下让生活多姿多彩。
my dream
hello everyone! it is my great pleasure to share my dream with you today.
my dream is to become a teacher.
you know being a teacher is a thing that is very valuable and very interesting. i suggest that it must be a great fun to be with children all the day. and if i am a teacher, i can teach my students a lot of knowledge. they might become stronger and cleverer because of me. that is a very contented feeling.
china is a developing country. chinese are not that excellent in their intellegent. so teachers in china might be very very important. they can provide the society with a lot of successful people, and make china a better place.
do you think that i have a good dream？ i will work hard to make my dream become true!

我的梦想
你好大家！这是我很高兴能够分享我的梦想与你今天。
我的梦想是成为一名教师。
你知道作为一个教师，是一个东西，这是非常宝贵的，非常有趣。我认为它必须是一个伟大的乐趣与子女所有。如果我是一名教师，我可以教我的学生很多知识。他们可能会成为强大和聪明，因为我了。这是一个非常知足的感觉。
中国是一个发展中国家。中国人是不是优秀，在他们的智能。所以老师在中国可能非常非常重要的。他们可以提供社会了不少成功的人，使中国成为更美好的地方。
你认为我有一个很好的梦想，我将努力工作，使我的梦想变成真！
The first step is to mix the flour with water. when the dough is ready we can begin to make dumpling wrappers. we use a rolling pole to roll the dough into small thin and round pieces so that they will be easy to cook. when the wrappers are done it' s time to prepare the filling. Usually we use meat such as beef or mutton and some vegetables such as cabbage or carrots for may actually choose whatever you like to put into it. we must chop those things into small put some salt oil and other condiments into it and stir it evenly. When all these preparations are done we can start making dumplings. First put a spoonful of filling in the center of the wrapper. Then stick the two opposite sides together and then the rest. Don' t just cover the filling with the wrappers. The best shape of dumplings is that of a ship because when they are boilin

第一条自信，不仅是对自己能力的信心，也是对自己追求坚定目标的信心，是成功的第一秘诀。有了它，你就可以走向胜利的彼岸。当中国革命处于低潮时，毛泽东认为星星之火可以燎原。陈一认为重复动作不能起飞& quot他很自信。简而言之，自信是指走向胜利的导航，是进步的动力。
自卑倾向于过多的看别人的优点，超重，这是对自己优点的不了解。心理压力这么重的人，让自己被动。自卑的心理障碍限制了能力的发展，使他们失去了成功的机会，最终一无所获。卑微又走出阴影，前方必有艳阳天！在& quot千面观音舞蹈奇迹的聚光灯下，演员们在信念和命运的强大，克服自卑，他们的表演赢得了观众& # 39；热烈的掌声，深受人们的喜爱。
克服自卑，培养自信，是我们的必然选择。
自负和自卑是极端的心理。在取得一些成就后洋洋得意，甚至目中无人，傲慢自大。这些人甚至取得了一些成就，但这只是昙花一现。项羽在斗争中起了很大的作用，但暂时的军事优势使他盲目。结果被前英雄刘邦打败了。最后项羽在乌江自杀。
我们要相信自己，但不要自负。我不放弃。选择自信，克服自卑，远离自我，这是新世纪的要求，是对完美人格的追求。"谈论英雄，你今天就能找到合适的人。，毛泽东充满了自信，他将永远激励我们前进。
Somebody says"Time is money".But I think time even more important than money.Because when money is gone,we can get it back.But when time is gone,it'll never be back.
Every day we have 24 hours.We sleep,we have meals and we rest.They are necessery and will take a lot of time.Then how can we sp the rest of the time?
Someone do the reading,do exercises and learn a lot of things.They never waste(浪费）any time.They live happily and healthily.
However,someone just waste hour after hour doing nothing useful.They get up very late.They sp all day playing computer games.They hate to learn knowledges.Don't they know that they are wasting part of their own lives?
So please,please save time for ourselves,Our life is limited（有限）,and remember:we have no time to lose.
welcome to nba.first, let me show a short video to you.
the first team i will talk about is houston rockets.in this team,there are two map candidates.one is t-mac,the other one is yao ming.there are bonzi wells,steve francis,mike james,shane battier and rafer alston also.i think it’s powerful enough.
some experts even claim that they could win 60 games.but in fact,they have lost 7 games.i think maybe they can’t win the games as many as the experts said,but they must be a strong power in the western this season if the stars specially tracy and yao could keep health.
the second team is dallas mavericks.last season,they won more than 60 games,but they were washed out in the playoff.and this team became the second team which won 60 or more games but lost the champion.
this season,most of the players there are in their golden age and i think they own the ability to create everything what even out of everyone’s expectation.
