Hello everyone:
This Spring Festival is spent in an e_traordinary way. In epidemic prevention and control, no one is an "outsider" and no matter is a "foreign matter"。 The CPC Central Committee set up a leading working group to respond to the epidemic, launched a "first level response"， and financial subsidies at all levels were issued. 100 million yuan (as of 0:00 on January 26)， a batch of "retrograde" medical teams and people Do you say that you have no clothes, and you are the same as your son. This feeling of "dressing together" contains the original intention and mission of 1.4 billion Chinese people working together in the same direction; this common war "epidemic" practices the "rigid demand" of the peoples heart, and you and I work together.
If you are worried about enlightenment, it will be difficult for you to prosper. In the joint fight against "epidemic"， we "dress together" and share feelings, work together and walk together. I swear that I will practice it, never forget my original heart, keep in mind my mission, be responsible for local affairs, and fight ahead. We will have firm confidence and work together in the same boat. We will work together to prevent epidemic. One day, we will take off our masks and go where we want to go and sing about my dear motherland.

As is apparently revealed in the pie charts above, forty-eight percent ofpeople surveyed have never heard of the International No Motor Vehicle Day whilefifty-seven percent are willing to give up driving on such a day. What isbetrayed in the pie charts is most thought-provoking.
The implied meaning of the pie charts is both disappointing and the one hand, much necessary work still needs to be done with respect toenvironmental protection. The public ignorance of relevant environmentalprotection results from inadequate and limited popularity of environmentalprotection knowledge by relevant government departments at different levels.Since environmental protection is an international issue, we must constantlyintroduce the advanced and practical practice in other countries to our generalpublic.
Only in this way can we promote environmental protection in China. Onthe other hand, the enhancement of the public awareness of environmentalprotection is a welcome development. Over the past years, as people’s livingstandard improves, people attach more importance to the quality of their life.They have a better understanding of the relationship between environment andtheir daily life. As a result, they are more interested in following positiveinternational models. In sum, we have got a mixed feeling toward the very factrevealed in the pie charts.
In my view, necessary measures should be immediately taken to ensure a niceenvironment. First of all, government departments at all levels must play a moreactive role in popularizing international experience and practice ofenvironmental protection. What’s more, the general public should be encouragedto participate more actively in environmental protection. Only in this way canwe live in a healthy and harmonious environment. (278 words)

DREAM——A word that has changed the world
Hello,everybody !it is my great honor to be here to share my idea with you .Today,I will talk something about DREAM——A word that has changed the world .
“What do you think is the word that has really changed our world ”
When I was asked about this question for the first time ,without thinking it too much ,a word flash into my mind ——DREAM ,D-R-E-A-M.People more or less dream about different things ,to be a teacher ,a doctor ,a scientist ,a businessman and so on .All these people who have dreams should be respected ,because Dreams make the world go around .We grow great by our dreams.All big men are great dreamers in their youth.Everyone has a dream ,and everything starts as one’s daydream.
Martin Luther king had a dream.He desired for a future where blacks and whites would coexist harmoniously as equals.By speaking the way he did,he educated,he inspired,he informed not just the people there,but people throughout America and unborn generations.He pushed forward the pace of American black society towards the racial equality .
Thomas Edison had a dream.He dreamed of a lamp that could be operated by electricity,began where he stood to put his dream into action,and despite more than ten thousand failures,he stood by that dream until he made it a physical reality!And today,his dream lights up the world at night.
Walt Disney had a dream.This,in itself,wasn't unusual -- he was always dreaming.He dreamed of making the first animated feature film,and of building an amusement park that parents could enjoy right along with their kids.Walt Disney empowered his dream and today,Disneyland,Disney world and Disney theme parks attract around the world thrill millions of visitors each and every year.
John F.kennedy had a dream.He wanted to land a man on the moon and return him safely to earth so as to restore faith in the American way of life.John F.kennedy empowered his dream and 8 years later Neil Armstrong stepped on the face of the moon.The moon landing certainly gave Americans new found confidence.
Dream --- A word that has changed the world Yes ,I would say so ,wouldn’t you
Youth is a special life relay station ,the growth with the worry ,the life feeling become aware happily with the dream ,collected a unique youth melody in here .
We decide.We choose.And as we decide and choose,so are our lives formed.In the end,forming our own destiny is what ambition is about.And most importantly ,You are the one you choose to be.
It is easy to waste our lives ,our days ,our minutes .It is easy to exist than living .So hold fast to your dreams,For if dreams die,life is a broken-winged bird,That cannot fly.Hold fast to your dreams,For when dreams go,life is a barren field,Frozen with snow.
I hope you everyone he
NO IMAGINATION, NO CREATIVITY
Dear teachers and students：
Good morning / afternoon / evening! My name is Liu zi yuan. The title of my speech is the relationship between creativity and imagination.
There is no creativity without imagination. With the development of the society, creativity becomes more and more important. People could not satisfy with ordinary life. So we need creativity to meet their requirements. We can see significance of the creativity from an example. The smart phone—iphone spread all over the world. That was the creativity of The Apple Inc. It is obvious that it will produce a bigger profit than common manufacturing. But, hao can we acquire creativity?
I think the creativity roots in imagination. Albert Einstein said that imagination is important than knowledge. Because we should creative a thing that is never appeared, we need to image. Use all the things and information around us to think and then go to achieve it. Without the imagination of the Wright brothers , human could not complete the flying dreams. Without the imagination of the Alexander Graham Bell, we could not hear the voice from a distance. If the creativity can make the human progress, imagination will be the road to success. Where the imagination come from? Knowledge ? Experience ? practice? I consider that all of them are indispensable. It is often said that knowledge is power. So we should empower ourselves with knowledge. After that we need to obtain experience form. practice. These are the basis, and we must strengthen them to extend our imagination.
As contemporary college students, we must shoulder the responsibility of the future of our motherland. What we need is not only the knowledge of the past, but also is the innovation of a new field. Our thought can not be bound by the old things. We should understand that an excellent nation is always full of creativity. So we must promote our imagination. There is no creativity without imagination. That’s all, thank you!

英语演讲范文五 篇6
Good afternoon! Ladies and gentlemen!
I am very happy to have the opportunity to attend this Competition.
My topic today is “Never Say Sorry Again!”
Do you feel sorry for the animals that are killed by the millions every day?
Do we really need to kill animals?
Let us now think of the reasons for using dead animals. People often use animals for food, make-up, medicine and especially for the clothes. Fur coats are definitely a luxury. Yes, they are warm but really they are mostly a symbol of wealth. Do you know how much a mink coat cost?
A report said in an open letter published recently, a Dutch animal-rights group has asked their much-loved Queen to stop wearing fur. The Group pointed out that making clothing from fur represents cruelty to animals. “ Fur belongs to animals, not to human beings.”
Nowadays a lot of greedy people hunt and kill wild animals and birds, so as to make money by selling their hides at high prices. This kind of killing should be stopped and seriously punished. If we don't take actions to protect the wild animals and birds, they will soon disappear from the globe. Man will one day find himself a very lonely creature on earth indeed.
Until such a day, when we finally realized that we no longer have these friends or neighbors, what are we human beings going to say? Sorry? No, it is too late to say sorry to them.
Ladies and Gentlemen, please consider what I have said to you this afternoon. Think carefully on whether we really need to use animals for our pleasure if you have come to the conclusion that we are wrong. Then we should now change our attitude so that we never say sorry again to the animal population.
Thank you!

hello! i wonder whether everybody knows the meaning of these two words of “ energy-conservation ” and “ low carbon ”？ i assume as a matter of course and know. does “ energy-conservation ” save the energy? does “ low carbon ” reduce carbon emission? yes, it is really simple. we often chat about them. but, do you really understand them? have they really taken root on your bottom of heart deeply?

conditioning the low temperature also one side to bind in the summer the quilt, the daylight lamp is being long all night clearly, water cock water drop sound day and night not rest these influence environment phenomenon common occurrence.this is rebels with ours position. american president kennedy has said: do not have to ask the country can make any for us, must ask first oneself can make any for the country.the low-carbon life needs everybody to participation!the low-carbon life first is one kind of life manner.so long as wants, each person may be able to achieve! the electricity saving, saves gas and oil, the solar terms, saving water, the tree-planting, makes use of waste, by step generation of vehicle the intravenous drip, in life each aspect, all may choose the low-carbon life the manner.the low-carbon life is also representing one kind healthily, the more natural life style.little eats counter-season food, the generation by works as season food; little uses the disposable product, the generation by the duplicated things; little rides an overhead traveling crane, little sits one time the elevator, the generation rides the bicycle, crawls the staircase, while falls the low-carbon withdrawal, we will have a healthier body and mind.we believed, so long as everybody works as one, participation together, humanity's tomorrow certainly will be able to be happier! schoolmates, today, your low-carbon?

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 one's 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 don't 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.
my favourite animal is tortoise. tortoise walk not fast. but i like the tortoise. why? because, tortoise is a cute animal. it has a short tail and a four short foot. it has a little head and a hard shell. there are forty-five little and cute tortoises in my home. they like to play in the water. when they afraid of some thing. they will run fast. they like to eat fish. i often buy some small fish for them to eat. they can catch the fish fast. first, they fake(假) sleep. when the fish swim near their mouth. they catch the fish fast and bit the fish's head. so, the fish die. they can eat the fish. in winter. they like to sleep in the sand. when they sleep, they don’t eat any food.because they will hibernation. but, when they are thirsty. they come out of the sand. so, we must give water to them to drink.

英语演讲 篇11
英语是一种世界性语言，全世界二分之一的电话是用英语进行的，四分之三的报刊书籍是英文版的长期以来都是世界上使用最广泛的语言。学好英语，就等于打开了世界的一扇窗户，你可以享受到更广泛的资讯。那么如何学好英语呢？
一、培养学习英语的兴趣
俗话说，“兴趣是最好的老师”。那么我们怎样产生对英语学习的兴趣呢。其实同学们只要认真学习英语，你就会发现英语和我们汉语一样是很美的，读起来朗朗上口，写起来也非常流利，把学英语当成一个开心而愉快的美差，而不是硬着头皮、头悬梁、锥刺骨的苦力。。兴趣在"实践"中产生和发展的。
如果在学英语的过程中，你能够尽早地尝试使用所学的英语，那么你学习英语的兴趣将日益增加。和热爱英语的人在一起"，爱"是可以相互传递的。俗话说：近朱者赤近墨者黑。你们应该与喜爱英语的人交朋友，这样，你们对英语的爱就会相互影响、变得更强烈。你有几个喜好学英语的朋友，你们就会组成英语学习小组，一起学习阅读、口语、写作。
二、要有良好的学习态度(信心+恒心)
要想学好英语，首先要有信心。同学们：你相信自己能学好英语吗？别人能学会，我们也能学会。
同时，要想学好英语，还要有恒心。学英语是一个漫长的过程，在这之中难免会遇到困难，学英语要一鼓作气，天天坚持，记住：扎实的语言基本功是要靠勤学苦练、日积月累才能得来的，只有那些意志坚强的人才能够取得最终的成功。
三、要有良好的学习习惯和学习方法。
(一)学习习惯方面：
1.认真听课、积极参与课堂教学的习惯。要抓住课堂这一学习的主要阵地。英语课上，认真听老师讲课，同学发言。英语课上，同学们要积极主动，大胆开口练习说英语，一定不要怕出错，通过实践掌握英语的表达方式。
2.记笔记，整理笔记的习惯。听老师讲课或同学讲解时，要记好重点内容，以便将来查用。
3.背诵重点句子和课文的习惯。学习英语是一种模仿，即俗话说的比着葫芦画瓢。只有多记多背，脑子里有了葫芦才能画出瓢来。
4.纠错的习惯。准备一个纠错本，随时整理错题，还要加上注释。纠正错误即进步。
5.及时复习的习惯。单词、句型、课文、语法等很容易遗忘，因此我们要养成及时复习的习惯。
6.用英语与别人沟通的习惯。
(二)学习方法方面：
1.单词的记忆。
1)根据读音记写法，长词还要学会划分音节，分段记单词。尽量不要一个字母一个字母地背。在短语或句子中记意思。要在运用中去记忆。另外记忆单词要利用多种方法，比如分类记忆：我们把动物的有关词汇放在一起，把有关校园的有关词汇放在一起，或者天文，地理，等等。对比记忆；把同音词、同义词、反义词放在一起进行对比，效果会更好。构词法记忆：合成法，即两个单词放在一起组成一个新单词。派生法，即通过加前缀或后缀的方法构成新词。2.)及时复习，克服遗忘。
著名的艾宾浩斯遗忘曲线”告诉我们遗忘的规律是“先快后慢，先多后少“。因而不要指望一次复习就能高枕无忧。不仅在学后当天，在一天后、一周后、一月后以及在你需要用它的任何时候之前都应安排复习。上课认真听讲，及时记忆。我们记忆单词一次不要太多，5-10个，一次不要时间太长。准备一个小的单词积累本，可利用零散时间经常复习，和遗忘做斗争。如利用早操前，睡觉前，课间，饭后等时间。还要有恒心和毅力，不能三天打渔两天晒网。通过不断积累，词汇量一定会大大增加。
2.培养阅读能力。
1)要养成良好的阅读心理。阅读时心绪要安定，精神要集中，不要一遇到几个生词难句，就心烦意乱，过分紧张的情绪会影响大脑的正常思维功能。
2)培养猜词能力。可利用构词法、上下文猜测词义。
3)提高阅读速度。阅读不同于朗读，有的同学虽不出声但是嘴在动，会大大影响阅读速度。因此阅读时应做到眼动嘴不动，嘴里的小舌也不要动。另外，阅读时眼球总是不断地移动---停顿----移动着，理解是在眼停的瞬间进行的。我们要使眼停的时间相对增加，就要扩大视读的广度，把逐词逐句的点式阅读变成一次扫描一句的线式阅读，并且把看到的东西迅速报告给大脑，形成眼脑较快的直映能力。咱们语文速读有一目十行的方法，英语阅读一目一句怎么样？一定不要在个别难懂的词句上磨蹭，而影响阅读的速度。
4)学会找主题句。主题句往往在每段的开头，因此我们一定要重视每段的第一句。当然，主题句也可能在一段的最后，或在一段的中间。要灵活把握。主题句是概括性的句子。
5)较长或较难的文章可以先看问题，再读文章。
四、要有良好的学习英语的氛围。这需要我们师生共同努力，不仅英语课上尽量多使用英语，课下也要多使用英语。大大方方地说，不要怕出错，不怕别人笑话，就像小孩学说话，练得多了，自然水平就提高了。Don/tbeshy!Justtry!
同学们，“一份耕耘，一份收获”，成功的大门向勇于探索，勇于攀登的人敞开的，只要大家，刻苦努力，持之以恒，再加以正确的方法，同学们就一定会把英语学好，就一定会获得成功！最后祝同学们学习顺利。

When people were born,many things had been determined.Some were given genius,some were not.It's really a hard work that people who had mental problems grown of them had their IQ below 70,some even lower.When they grew up,their mental age would still remain a level of child. The Special Olympics was the game of these people.Started in the year 1968,the special Olympics had developed to have more than 170 countries joined in,and tens of thousand athletes took part in it.Special Olympic players swore:"let me win ,but if I cannot win,let me be brave in the attempt."
The loof Titanic
The great ship, Titanic, sailed for New YorkfromSouthampton on April 10th, 1912. She was carrying 1316 passengers and a crew of 89l. Even by modern standards, the 46,000 ton Titanic was a colossal ship. At that time, however, she was not only the largest ship that had ever been built, but was regarded as unsinkable, for she had sixteen water- tight compartments. Even if two of these were flooded, she would still be able to float. The tragic sinking of this great liner will always be remembered, for she went down on her first voyage with heavy loof life.
Four days after setting out, while the Titanic was sailing acrothe icy waters of the North Atlantic, a huge iceberg was suddenly spotted by a look-out. After the alarm had been given, the great ship turned sharply to avoid a direct collision. The Titanic turned just in time, narrowly missing the immense wall of ice which rose over 100 feet out of the water beside her. Suddenly, there was a slight trembling soundfrombelow, and the captain went down to see what had happened. The noise had been so faint that no one thought that the ship had been damaged. Below, the captain realized to his horror that the Titanic was sinking rapidly, for five of her sixteen water-
tight compartments had already been flooded ! The order to abandon ship was given and hundreds of people plunged into the icy water. As there were not enough life-boats for everybody, 1500 lives were lost.

英语演讲稿 篇14
I saw a chance to go to bat for the women who face the choice of staying home with a sick child or reporting to work at a job that might otherwise fire her.
Our workplaces and our public policies must mirror our values: work and family.
It is time for our societies to find new and innovative ways to make it easier for women to experience the joy of motherhood, without facing career setbacks. This isn’t a women’s issue – it’s a family issue. Yet it disproportionately impacts women who are most likely to leave the workforce or curtail our ambitions because we have no access to affordable care for our children and adult dependents.
Still, in the developed world, we are slowly seeing a movement toward a more equal distribution of responsibilities in our homes.Young fathers [ ]are increasingly contributing to housework and helping raise their children.
We have an incredible opportunity to adapt our workplaces to this modern reality.
Today, we can answer an email in the palm of our hand, take a call almost anywhere around the globe, work flexible hours in the gig economy and finish our work at home once we put our kids to bed.
The last decade has revolutionized the way we work – and now has the potential to deliver more flexibility to working women.
Already we are seeing increasing numbers of women leaving behind outdated work environments to start their own businesses from their kitchen tables. Today, women entrepreneurs are flourishing.
Fortunately, the private sector is recognizing the importance of modernizing the workplace. Businesses are instituting policies such as flex-time and paid leave, in part to attract and retain female talent.
Companies that have women on their boards generate a higher return on equity than those that do not, and outperform in times of crisis or volatility.
