英语演讲稿1

I was one of the only kids in college who had a reason to go to the P.O. box at the end of the day, and that was mainly because my mother has never believed in email, in Facebook, in texting or cell phones in general. And so while other kids were BBM-ing their parents, I was literally waiting by the mailbox to get a letter from home to see how the weekend had gone, which was a little frustrating when Grandma was in the hospital, but I was just looking for some sort of scribble, some unkempt cursive from my mother.

And so when I moved to New York City after college and got completely sucker-punched in the face by depression, I did the only thing I could think of at the time. I wrote those same kinds of letters that my mother had written me for strangers, and tucked them all throughout the city, dozens and dozens of them. I left them everywhere, in cafes and in libraries, at the U.N., everywhere. I blogged about those letters and the days when they were necessary, and I posed a kind of crazy promise to the Internet: that if you asked me for a hand-written letter, I would write you one, no questions asked. Overnight, my inbox morphed into this harbor of heartbreak -- a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied in rural Kansas, all asking me, a 22-year-old girl who barely even knew her own coffee order, to write them a love letter and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox.

Well, today I fuel a global organization that is fueled by those trips to the mailbox, fueled by the ways in which we can harness social media like never before to write and mail strangers letters when they need them most, but most of all, fueled by crates of mail like this one, my trusty mail crate, filled with the scriptings of ordinary people, strangers writing letters to other strangers not because they're ever going to meet and laugh over a cup of coffee, but because they have found one another by way of letter-writing.

But, you know, the thing that always gets me about these letters is that most of them have been written by people that have never known themselves loved on a piece of paper. They could not tell you about the ink of their own love letters. They're the ones from my generation, the ones of us that have grown up into a world where everything is paperless, and where some of our best conversations have happened upon a screen. We have learned to diary our pain onto Facebook, and we speak swiftly in 140 characters or less.

But what if it's not about efficiency this time? I was on the subway yesterday with this mail crate, which is a conversation starter, let me tell you. If you ever need one, just carry one of these. (Laughter) And a man just stared at me, and he was like, "Well, why don't you use the Internet?" And I thought, "Well, sir, I am not a strategist, nor am I specialist. I am merely a storyteller." And so I could tell you about a woman whose husband has just come home from Afghanistan, and she is having a hard time unearthing this thing called conversation, and so she tucks love letters throughout the house as a way to say, "Come back to me. Find me when you can." Or a girl who decides that she is going to leave love letters around her campus in Dubuque, Iowa, only to find her efforts ripple-effected the next day when she walks out onto the quad and finds love letters hanging from the trees, tucked in the bushes and the benches. Or the man who decides that he is going to take his life, uses Facebook as a way to say goodbye to friends and family. Well, tonight he sleeps safely with a stack of letters just like this one tucked beneath his pillow, scripted by strangers who were there for him when.

These are the kinds of stories that convinced me that letter-writing will never again need to flip back her hair and talk about efficiency, because she is an art form now, all the parts of her, the signing, the scripting, the mailing, the doodles in the margins. The mere fact that somebody would even just sit down, pull out a piece of paper and think about someone the whole way through, with an intention that is so much harder to unearth when the browser is up and the iPhone is pinging and we've got six conversations rolling in at once, that is an art form that does not fall down to the Goliath of "get faster," no matter how many social networks we might join. We still clutch close these letters to our chest, to the words that speak louder than loud, when we turn pages into palettes to say the things that we have needed to say, the words that we have needed to write, to sisters and brothers and even to strangers, for far too long. Thank you. (Applause) (Applause)

Hello everyone!

Dreams are the driving force for us to move forward, the guiding light for us to move forward, and the vision for a better future. Everyone has a dream in their hearts, but mine is different, and that is to be a dancer.

When I first arrived at the dance class, I was like fifteen buckets fetching water. I was so nervous that I didn't dare to go in. The teacher said, "Come on, we welcome every new student!" I looked at the teacher's encouraging eyes and the students' expectations, thinking that I can do it, and I will do better. I was no longer nervous, but walked into the dance class generously.

The teacher danced a dance first. Her skillful movements and her graceful dance attracted me deeply. After the teacher's demonstration, let us practice the lower back first. At the beginning, my lower back was very painful. Seeing the students practicing so well, I felt a little ashamed. . They have practiced for a lot longer than you. I believe that after a period of practice, you will definitely be able to do better!"

At this time, I thought of the graceful figures of many dancers and my own dreams. "No! I can't let the teacher down! I'm going to realize my dream, I'm going to be a dancer. I can definitely do it!" After a few weeks of practice, I would not only get down, but dance a full dance . The teacher said that I have a strong sense of rhythm and can dance to the beat of the drum very accurately. I have more confidence in my future.

A semester is fleeting. Once in class, the teacher told us: "We have received an invitation from Henan TV to participate in the recording of a TV program during the Spring Festival." We all cheered and filled with joy when we heard this exciting news. confidence. The performance started, standing on the stage of the Nuoda, the music played, my classmates and I were very involved, and we performed a piece of 《__》 to the fullest. After this training, I think that no matter what difficulties I encounter in the future, I will stick to my dream and become an excellent dancer.

Although I am still far from realizing my dream, I understand that persistence is victory!

亲爱的老师、同学们：

大家好!

梦想是我们前进的动力，是我们前行的指路灯，是对美好未来的憧憬。每个人心中都有一个梦想，而我的梦想却与众不同，那就是当一名舞蹈家。

我刚到跳舞班的时候，心里就像十五个吊桶打水，七上八下，紧张的不得了，不敢进去。老师说：“快点来吧，我们欢迎每个新同学的到来!”我看着老师鼓励的目光，看着同学们的期待，心想我一定能行，我会做的更好。我不再紧张，而是大方的走进了舞蹈班。

老师先跳了一支舞，她那娴熟的动作，她那优美的舞姿深深的吸引了我。老师示范过后先让我们练习下腰，刚开始的时候我的腰很痛，看着同学们练习的那么到位，我真是有点自愧不如，老师说：“加油，熟能生巧，多练习练习就不痛了。她们比你练习的时间长多了，我想信你经过一段时间的练习，一定可以做的更好!”

这时我想起许多的舞蹈家的优美身影，想起了自己的梦想。“不!我不能让老师失望!我要实现我的梦想，我要成为一个舞者。我一定可以做到的!”练习了几周，我不仅会下腰，而且还会跳一支完整的舞蹈。老师说我的节奏感很强，能很准的踏着鼓点跳。我对自己的.未来更有信心了。

一个学期转瞬即逝，有一次上课，老师告诉我们说：“咱们接河南电视台的邀请，要去参加春节的电视节目录制。”听到这个振奋人心的消息，我们个个欢呼雀跃，个个都充满了信心。演出开始了，站在这诺大的舞台上，音乐响起，我和同学们都非常的投入，我们把一曲《__》表演的淋漓尽致。经过这次的锻炼，我想以后不管遇到什么困难，我都要坚持自己的梦想，成为一名优秀的舞蹈家。

虽然现在我离实现梦想的距离还很遥远，但是我明白，坚持就是胜利!

My dear friends,

“Once upon a time，there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. To all the suitors who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king assigned three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible. One day, into the king's palace came a handsome young prince..." Well, you know the rest. The three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, with the prince claiming the princess's hand triumphantly.

And the ending is always the same, finishing with the line "And they live happily every after."

Why aren't we tired of something so fanciful, so unrealistic, and, I would say, so unimaginative? How can a story like that endure generations of repetition`? Because, I think, it is a typical success story. It is highly philosophical and symbolic. By implication, we see a 4-step definition of success:

1 ) a goal to be set. as represented by the beautiful princess;

2 ) challenges to be met, as represented by the three tasks;

3 ) the process of surmounting difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through; and

4 ) the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage.

The story not only caters to everyone's inward yearning for success, but also emphasizes the inseparability of the process and the result. The reward of success will be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous, and vice versa. If a person inherits his father's millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence. The term "success", to be sure. will not sit still for easy definition. But as I understand it, the true meaning of success entails a combination of both the process and the satisfactory result of an endeavor. To clarify my view, let me give another analogy.

If we changed the rules of football, greatly enlarged the goal and sent away David Seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another David, namely David Beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings. If we further changed the rules by not allowing Arsenal's defenders to defend, so that Beckham needed only to lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all, because the meaning of winning would have disappeared. In accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, success acquires its value. The sense of attainment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes.

The concept of success is not constant but relative because the nature of difficulty is also relative. Something you do effortlessly might pose a great difficulty for a handicapped person. In acquiring the ability to do the same as you can, he or she achieve success. That's why we greatly admire Stephen Hawking, because, though confined to a wheel chair, he has contributed greatly to the field of science.

I myself, a rather shy person by nature who easily suffer from stage fright, had to pluck up great courage to take part in a speech contest like this. I could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the university level contest.But I chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties. Now here I am. If I come out first, it will be a great success for me. If I come out last-I hope this will not be the case-but if I come out last, I will not call my attempt a failure, but will also celebrate it as a true success, because part of my goal is my own character training-to do more assertive, to be brave in face of difficulties. For me, it is a meaningful step forward, small as it is, in the long journey toward the final success in my life, because I have truly gained by participating.

Let us return to our handsome young prince and the 4-step definition of success. You my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of wealth, position and fame were not mentioned as part of the story, but rather, it emphasized the process of overcoming difficulties. The ancient wisdom had already defined the meaning of success, and this is my definition, too.

Thank you.

Good morning everyone,today is my turn to the speech. Can Money BuyHappiness?Can money buy happiness? Different people have different opinions.Some think yes, while others hold the opposite.It is true that with enough moneyone can buy all the things one wants, and live a life of comfort and security.However, it is equally true that lack of money causes great distress. It is acommon view that "money is the root of all evil." The pursuit of money drivesmany people to cheat and steal. In some places there is nothing that cannot bebought with money, resulting in corrupt societies where everybody ismiserable.So, money does not necessarily mean happiness. It all depends on howit is used. If we make honest and sensible use of money, it can be astepping-stone to happiness l Although money cannot buy happiness, it can makehappiness possible if it is employed sensibly.

窗

Random Thoughts on the Window

钱钟书

By Qian Zhongshu

又是春天，窗子可以常开了。春天从窗外进来，人在屋子里坐不住，就从门里出去。

It is spring again and the window can be left open as often as one would like. As spring comes in through the windows, so people -- unable to bear staying inside any longer -- go outdoors.

不过屋子外的春天太贱了!到处是阳光，不像射破屋里阴深的那样明亮;到处是给太阳晒得懒洋洋的风，不像搅动屋里沉闷的那样有生气。

The spring outside, however, is much too cheap, for the sun shines on everything, and so does not seem as bright as that which shoots into the darkness of the house. Outside the sun-sloshed breeze blows everywhere, but it is not so lively as that which stirs the gloominess inside the house.

就是鸟语，也似乎琐碎而单薄，需要屋里的寂静来做衬托。我们因此明白，春天是该镶嵌在窗子里看的，好比画配了框子。

Even the chirping of the birds sounds so thin and broken that the quietness of the house is needed to set it off. It seems that spring was always meant to be put behind a windowpane for show, just like a picture in a frame.

同时，我们悟到，门和窗有不同的意义。当然，门是造了让人出进的。但是，窗子有时也可作为进出口用，譬如小偷或小说里私约的情人就喜欢爬窗子。

At the same time it also becomes clear that the door has a different significance from the window. Of course, doors were made for people to pass through; but a window can also sometimes serve as an entrance or as an exit, and is used as such by thieves and by lovers in novels.

所以窗子和门的根本分别，决不仅是有没有人进来出去。若据赏春一事来看，我们不妨这样说：有了门，我们可以出去;有了窗，我们可以不必出去。

In fact the fundamental difference between a door and a window has nothing to do with them being either entrances or exits. When it comes to the admiration of spring, it could be put this way: a door makes it possible for one to go out, whereas a window makes it possible for one not to have to.

窗子打通了大自然和人的隔膜，把风和太阳逗引进来，使屋子里也关着一部分春天，让我们安坐了享受，无需再到外面去找。

A window helps to pull down the partition between man and nature. It leads breezes and sunlight in, and keeps part of the spring in the house. It allows one to sit and enjoy the spring in peace, and makes it unnecessary to go looking for it outside.

Good morning ladies and gentlmen,It is my great pleasure to stand here to present my speech—— As you slowly open your eyes, look around, notice where the light comes into your room;listen carefully, see if there are new sounds you can recognize;feel with your body and spirit, and see if you can sense the freshness in the air. Yes, yes, yes, it’s a new day, it’s a different day, and it’s a bright day! And most importantly, it’s a new beginning for your life, a beginning where you are going to make new decisions, take new actions, make new friends, and take your life to a totally unprecedented level. In your mind’s eye, you can see clearly the things you want to have, the paces you intend to go, the relationships you desire to develop, and the positions you aspire to reach.

You know all this is real as long as you are confident, passionate and committed! And you are confident, you are passionate, you are committed!

You will no longer fear making new sounds, showing new facial expressions, using your body in new ways, approaching new people, and asking new questions. You will live every single day of your life with absolute passion, and you will show your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take. You will focus all your time and effort on the most important goals of your life. You will never succumb to challenges of hardships. You will never waver in your pursuit of excellence. After all, you are the best, and you deserve the best! As your coach and friend, I can assure you the door to all the best things in the world will open to you, but the key to that door is in your hand. You must do your part. You must faithfully follow the plans you make and take the actions you plan;you must never quit and you must never fear. I know you must do it, you can do it, you will do it, and you will succeed! Now stand firm and tall, make a fist, get excited, and yell it out: I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed! I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed! I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed!

诗人说：花朵把春天的门推开了。我说：感恩把和谐的门推开了，和谐把生活的门推开了。只要你用心去听花开的声音，生活到处都是和谐的乐章。

爱，像火种点燃心灵的希望； 爱，像绿茵撑起心灵的天空。爱，是一种力量，是一种财富。我们应该从小在心中撒播爱的种子。让我们心存感激，学会感恩。用一颗感恩的心去面对生活，面对学习，面对挫折，从而体会父母，师长，同学，朋友间无私的亲情，友情，"懂得滴水之恩，当涌泉相报”的真正内涵。

感恩是中华民族的传统美德，是构建社会主义和谐社会的需要。广东律师田世国为了回报母亲的恩情，在老母病危时瞒着她捐出了自己的肾脏，挽回了母亲的生命；徐本禹为了回报社会对他的恩情，毅然在大学毕业后离开繁华城市，走进穷乡僻壤的破草棚，给求知若渴的孩子们送去知识……

感激生育你的人，因为他们使你获得生命；感激抚养你的人，因为他们使你不断成长；感激关怀你的人，因为他们给你温暖；感激鼓励你的人，因为他们给你力量；感激教育你的人，因为他们开化你的蒙昧；感激伤害你的人，因为他们磨练了你的心智；感激绊倒你的人，因为它强化了你的双腿；感激藐视你的人，因为它觉醒了你的自尊；感激遗弃你的人，因为他教会了你该独立；凡事感激，学会感激，感激一切使你成长的人！

同学们，有首歌叫《感谢你》：感谢明月照亮了夜空，感谢朝霞捧出的黎明，感谢春光融化了冰雪，感谢大地哺育了生灵，感谢母亲赐予我生命……感谢收获、感谢和平、感谢这所有的一切一切。

感恩无痕，感恩无限！同学们，学会感恩吧！让我们的生活永远走向关怀，充满真情和爱心！让我们携起来手来，共同努力，构建一个人人向往的社会主义和谐社会！

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.

As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity.

Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.

Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character.

Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.
