hello everybody! i am honored to stand at this stage we can give the opportunity, and very glad to know so many friends, and learn together in english, my name is chen yun asia, from hunan, i'm loving to sing, like reading, dedication to the dream girl.

in fact, because the love of the english language before the degree is not strong, so that i do not learn to develop a learning and inert ideas, but now i know that a 21st century person who still does not understand english, then he will be behind the times by , social development, the era of progress, we can not be eliminated by this age, having chosen this time to learn english, then i must persevere, and learn something. although the basis for my poor english, my mind is not very fle_ible, but i admit defeat stronger bones even if the character i can not give up easily, as long as i work hard, willing to pay, willing to adhere to, then i believe there must be a miracle.

in fact, sometimes sandwiched between work and learning i was really tired physically and mentally e_hausted, resulting in the idea of giving up, but my mind there was a voice said; if you give it up, then you will be forever weak, and then encourage their own, giving up is not my belief in my life and no dictionary word, not stop until one reaches one's goal, i must hold on, to overcome all the difficulties, people can, i can! my favorite word; not afraid to fail, afraid to get up! no one can beat our belief, in addition to our own, so friends, let us filling out the passion of our young people to challenge the english, to be confident, believe we can, it must be!

其實因為以前對英語的熱愛程度并不強烈，從而讓我養(yǎng)成了學與不學的惰性思想，但是現(xiàn)在讓我知道一個21世紀的人如果還不懂英語的話那么他將是時代的落后者，社會在發(fā)展、時代在進步、我們不能被這個時代所淘汰，這次既然選擇了學習英語，那么我一定要堅持不懈、學有所成。雖然我的英語基礎很差，腦子也不太靈活，但我骨子里要強不服輸?shù)男愿窨v使著我不能輕易放棄，只要我肯努力、肯付出、肯堅持，那么我相信一定會有奇跡的發(fā)生。

其實有時候夾在上班與學習之間讓我身心真的很累很疲憊，從而產生放棄的念頭，但腦子里又有個聲音說;如果你現(xiàn)在放棄的話，那么你將是永遠的弱者，然后鼓勵自己，放棄不是我的信念，在我的人生字典里也沒有這兩個字，不到黃河心不死，我一定要挺注去克服所有的困難，別人能，我也能!我最喜歡的一句話;不怕會失敗，就怕起不來!沒有誰能打敗我們的信念，除了我們自己，所以、朋友們，讓我們一起加油拿出我們年輕人的激情去挑戰(zhàn)英語，對自己充滿信心，相信我們可以，就一定可以!

good afternoon everybody! it's my honor to speak here and i am very glad to share my topic with all of you. today i'd like to talk about “my dream”. i do not just have one dream, in fact, i have three. they are: a healthy life, a happy family and to travel my great country.

i have always admired the long healthy life my grandparents have. they are older than 80 years of age and they are still alive and kicking! how do they do that!? my grandparents plant vegetables and grow rice themselves; even in their old age they still make food for themselves! i guess that is why they can remain healthy. more importantly they remain humble and never ask for too much from life. perhaps that makes them common, but they live a happy life. my grandmother once told me this:” i do not want to live long, only long enough for some grand children to be running around in my house”. i want to live a long, healthy and happy life just as they have.

since my graduation from primary school, until now, every time on my birthday i make the same wish. i wish my parents will not fight anymore. i am not complaining that they gave me a bad childhood, they just fight so much! i am unhappy but that does not mean they do not love me. they do! they love me with all their heart. i love my parents also; i want them to live a happy life as well.

i want to travel this great country of ours. i want to see the beauty of our country. i want to see the miracles that made this country great! i want to go from the east to west, from the north all the way down to the south! i have a dream, that one day i can travel and see my country with my family and friends! if that is not possible, seeing my country on my own is good enough also. if i can fulfill all three of my dreams in life, then god can take me away. i would be happy, and l would have lived a full and prosperous life.

thank you everyone for listening to my dreams.

i thank you!

mother was playing with her lovely daughter about 3 years old on the playground. the little girl was interested in playing the swing but didn’t dare to try. the mother encouraged her by saying, “come on, baby! i believe you can do it! believe in yourself!” with her mother’s encouragement, the girl finally climbed onto the swing. “yeah! i can do it! mum, help me fly higher!” she cried happily, and her laughter filled the air. i see that self-confidence is a key factor in problem-solving. with self-confidence, i can overcome difficulties. with self-confidence, i can surpass limits. with self-confidence, i can go beyond myself.

here, ladies and gentle, allow me to share with you my e_perience. i love english and now, i can stand on this stage to e_press my ideas in english. but when i first entered into the college, i was such a shy boy that i couldn’t speak chinese fluently in the crowd, let alone show my english in public. in the second school year, i was assigned to be one of the hosts at an english competition. i had no e_perience in hosting at that time so it was really a challenge to me. i didn’t know what to say, and even how to step on the stage? however, i decided to take the assignment since after 2-year of english study, i became more confident in myself. also, teachers’ remarks encouraged me, “if you are not self-confident, it is impossible to make others believe in you. if you cannot go beyond your limits, it is impossible to make any improvement.” i accomplished the task at last, and the success confirms to myself that i can go beyond my limits. i can surpass myself. yes, i can.

with self-confidence, one is not sure to win, but without self-confidence, one will lose for sure. today, standing here, participating in this competition, for me it is also a challenge. am i sure to win the first prize? to tell the truth, not really. then, am i confident to compete with the other participants? absolutely. i believe in myself. i believe i will try my best to overcome all difficulties. i am well-ready to face the challenge. i am quite self-confident that i can again go beyond myself.

dear students:how are you!

in the previous several e_ams, i have gained good results, first of all thanks to my efforts, of course, learning is also very important. ne_t, i gave you about my learning e_perience.i feel good in order to learn first-come interested in learning. as the saying goes: 'interest is the best teacher.' with interest will be motivated to learn, the more naturally learn better. second, in order to improve learning, we must master the correct way to learn, learn to digest, giving top priority, this is the most important. in learning, our minds must have three words - 'why!' smart people know that; wise men know to listen to; smart people know to ask. the last is sure to be hard work, this is the most important, even thomas edison said 'genius needs ninety-nine percent perspiration.'school should seriously lectures, and pay attention to more independent thinking, do not know want to ask, to e_ercise their thinking skills. careful and meticulous to teacher assignments, must not be careless.

there is, to take notes, preview before clathe best, first have a preliminary understanding of the te_t, which for the ne_t clacan more easily absorb. after-school must also be reviewed, and consolidate the knowledge about good teachers, and lay a solid foundation. the ancients have said: 'reviewing the old, to be a teacher.' not also the truth? best to pay attention to work and rest. only care about the death of reading is of no use to let my mind rela_ properly for the job such as playing baseball, listening to music, watch tv news.finally, i want to say 'do not you go stronger than others, then you have to and they are better than weak, you challenged yourself to stay on a par before himself, and you will reap better than others.'i finished the speech thank you!

親愛的同學們： 你們好!

在前面的幾次考試中，我都獲得了不錯的成績，這一切首先要歸功于我的努力，當然學習方式也是非常重要的。接下來我給各位介紹一下我的學習經驗。

第一我覺得要想學習好先得對學習感興趣。俗話說：“興趣就是最好的老師。”有了興趣才會對學習有動力，自然會越學越好。

第二，要想搞好學習，必須掌握好正確的學習方法，學會融會貫通，舉一反三，這才是最重要的。在學習當中，我們的腦子里必須有三個字——“為什么”!聰明的人懂得說;智慧的人懂得聽;高明的人懂得問。最后就是一定要勤奮，這是最重要的，連愛迪生都說“天才需要百分之九十九的汗水”。上課要認真聽課，注意要多獨立思考，不懂就要問，要鍛煉自己的思維能力。要認真細致地做好老師布置的作業(yè)，決不能馬虎。還有的是，要做好筆記，課前最好預習，先對課文有初步的了解，這對于接下來的課能更容易地吸收。課后也要進行復習，鞏固好老師所講的知識，打下堅實的基矗古人曾曰：“溫故而知新，可以為師矣。”不也是這道理嗎?最好要注意勞逸結合。只顧著死讀書是沒有用的，要讓腦子適當?shù)胤潘梢幌虏判?，比如打打球，聽聽音樂，看看電視新聞等?最后我想說“你再強也不要和別人比，你再弱也要和自己比，你挑戰(zhàn)過了自己，把以前的自己比下去了，你就會收獲比別人強。”

hello everyone.today i'm glad to be here to give a speech about my fresh e_perience in china agriculture university.

and then even worse there would be nobody remind me e_cept my teacher!so the differences are everywhere and i could easily find them.

the change of life is great and it's wonderful:i have more time of my own and the rights to decide how i live.

my campus activities are rich and colorful.learning english has become a habit to me cause i plan to study abroad in ne_t few years.playing guzheng is my favorite activity.i have kept on practising it since i was a little girl and i wish to win more competitions in my campus life.

our university has the first level equipments and the most e_perienced teachers,also has the best students(laugh).i consider it to be a honor that i've got a chance to study here and i sincerely hope that we could live wonderful lives in our campus!

i am proud of being a college student.the collegelife is fresh,new teachers, new classmates and new friends. i like the friendship, and their wide knowledge and opening mind. the grand library, school buildings and wide playground attrattde me very much.my college life is better than i e_pected, i can do anything i like. in the college we can not only learn the professional knowledge,but also develop our comprehensive abilities.if we can make full use of the period,we can learn many useful things.besides,we should have the active attitude to our life,do a contributionto the society.

collegelife is the most precious time in our life.most of us want to become an outstanding man. but there are some students still waste their time. they get together for eating, drinking or playing cards. they're busy in searching for a girlfriend or a boyfriend. they completely forget their task as college students.

finally, i hope everybody can try their best to become a worthy person to our country, and make great contributions to the society!

演講稿三：大學生活英語演講稿

i think every student in junior high school or even a new term the first class meeting is a 'new semester new plan,' the university did not e_pect to have such a ban would be the same. however, every freshman to the university of strange environments such as e_ploration in the dark. however, an early goal set for myself in the dark, lit as a beacon, a constant reminder to guide us forward.

sister school seniors who passed before the e_change of e_perience, we can avoid detours. but everyone there is a separate individual, the e_perience can not be completely copied, should have its own general plan. college life includes learning, work and life. following on from the three aspects i came to my planning.

about learning: as long as we still a student, the total should be on learning more important position.

said freshman should be laid and compacted in the high number of basic english. therefore, in this two subjects put more effort is acceptable. last week the high number may be, i do feel a certain degree of difficulty, the preview before class and after school consolidation e_ercise is important. hope that through their practical learning in high numbers on the do not hang division. morning reading soon began to organize, which is learning english, the best opportunity to practice oral english.

indeed difficult to get up early, but i, as a member of the department of learning, i not only have to set an e_ample for other students should have acquired in the morning reading in. we have classes two nights a week only, the night a lot of time should be fully utilized. go to the library, participate in various activities that can harvest a lot of lectures!

other courses i would like to attend a lecture class, e_am take notes, e_ams should be no problem.

about work: every freshmen want to get a job at the university to e_ercise their own. i was no e_ception, e_periencing a lot of job interviews, into the three departments. will certainly be a little tired, a little busy, but i am full, know a lot of people, make more friends, learned a great deal of knowledge not in books. learning to do the work of the best things correct.

about life: as born in wuhan, is the first time i came to the university of fully independent living. from open water to the laundry to wash, to organize the house ... everything seemed very used to. without the help of parents and care, even nagging, autonomy back to me. more were free, were less constrained; more hard copies, far fewer care; more were lazy, far fewer urge ... but bedroom, the students have the help and concern, i also feel the general home warmth.

i believe in learning, work, find the balance between three aspects of life, go hand in hand, college life will be our life a perfect memory!

thank you! the end of my speech!

hello everybody!

i am very glad to stand here to give you a short speech! today my topic is chinese dream.

first i want to ask you some questions:

1do you know what is chinese dream

2what is your chinese dream?

chinese dream

chinese dream was put forward by chairman _i last year in order to direct chinese to a clear future.for the whole nation, it means increasing the level of living.for every single chinese , it means realizing the value of lifethe realization of the whole nation’s dream can not be separated from everybody’s own dream. only by everyone’s efforts can we make the nationy’s dream come true.

for our young people, we are supposed to have our own dream. what is dream? the famous chinese economist lang_ianping has ever said that:”please do not e_pect too munch about chinese students, because they don’t have dream. they only want to find a common job to earn money for a house or a car. they only have a target、purpose、or goal. they don’t have dream. purpose is not dream.

dream is developed by your warm heart instead of cheating your eyes in the e_cuse of earning money! a dream is a clear spiritual lighthouse that gives out direction when you do not know what to e_pect in the days ahead and offers comfort and support when you become doubtful of yourself.

so, it’s time that we took our measures to fight for our chinese dream!

that’s all. thank you!

第15篇 關于選擇的英語演講稿

over the past spring festival, i got involved in a family dispute. right before i got home, four satellite channels of cctv were added to the 14 channels we had already had. in prime time at night, they all had interesting shows. therefore, the five of us-my parents, my sisters and i-had to argue over what to watch. finally, we agreed that we should watch the 'most interesting' programme... if we could agree what that was.

however, all of us there remember that for a long time after we had tv, there were only one or two channels available. the increase in options reveals an important change in our life: the abundance of choice.

fifteen years ago we all dressed in one style and in one colour. today, we select from a wide variety of designs and shades.

fifteen years ago, we read few newspapers. today, we read english newspapers like the china daily and the 21st century, as well as various chinese newspapers.

fifteen years ago, english majors took only courses in language and literature. today, we also study western culture, journalism, business communications, international relations, and computer science.

the emergence of choices marks the beginning of a new era in china's history; an era of diversity, of material and cultural richness, and an era of the rebirth of the chinese nation.

we enjoy the abundance of choice. but this has not come easily.

about 150 years ago, china was forced to open up its door by western canons and gunboats. it has been through the struggle and sacrifice of generations that we finally have gained the opportunity to choose for ourselves. the policy of reform and openness is the choice that has made all the difference.

like others of my age, i'm too young to have e_perienced the time when the chinese people had no right to choose. however, as the ne_t century draws near, it is time to ask: what does choice really mean to us young people?

is choice a game that relies on chance or luck? is choice an empty promise that never materializes? or is choice a puzzle so difficult that we have to avoid it?

first, i would like to say: to choose means to claim opportunities.

i am a third-year english major. an important choice for me, of course, is what to do upon graduation. i can go to graduate school, at home or abroad. i can go to work as a teacher, a translator, a journalist, an editor and a diplomat. actually, the system of mutual selection has allowed me to approach almost every career opportunity in china.

indeed, this is not going to be an easy choice. i would love to work in such big cities as beijing or shanghai or shenzhen. i would also love to return to my hometown, which is intimate, though slightly lagging in development. i would love to stay in the coastal area where life is e_citing and fast-paced. i would also love to put down roots in central and western china, which is underdeveloped, but holds reat potential.

all of these sound good. but they are only possibilities. to those of us who are bewildered at the abundance of opportunities, i would like to say: to choose means to accept challenge.

to us young people, challenge often emerges in the form of competition. in the ne_t century, competition will not only come from other college graduates, but also from people of all ages and of all origins.

with increasing international e_changes, we have to face growing competition from the whole outside world. this is calling for a higher level of our personal development.

fifteen years ago, the knowledge of a foreign language or of computer operation was considered merely an advantage. but today, with wider educational opportunities, this same knowledge has become essential to everyone.

given this situation, even our smallest choices will require great wisdom and personal determination.

as we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also becomes more important.

as we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also becomes more important.

nuclear power, for instance, may improve our quality of life. but it can also be used to damage the lives and possessions of millions.

economic development has enriched our lives but brought with it serious harm to our air, water and health.

to those of us who are blind to the consequences of their choices, i would like to say, to choose means to take responsibility. when we are making choices for ourselves, we cannot casually say: 'it's just my own business. ' as policy makers of the ne_t century, we cannot fail to see our responsibility to those who share the earth with us.

the traditional chinese culture teaches us to study hard and work hard so as to honor our family. to me, however, this family is not just the five of us who quarreled over television programmes. rather, it is the whole of the human family. as i am making my choices, i will not forget the smile of my teacher when i correctly spelled out the word 'china' for the first time, i will not forget the happy faces of the boys and girls we helped to send back to school in the mountains of jiang_i province. i will not forget the tearful eyes of women and children in bosnia, chechnya and somali, where millions are suffering from war, famine or poverty.
