大学英语演讲比赛演讲稿
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. The title of my speech today is Crossing the Sea . An English poet by the name of Rudyard Kipling once wrote in this poem We and They :All the people like us are Weand everyone else is TheyWe live over the seaWhile They live over the wayWe eat pork and beef with cow horn-handled knivesThey who gobble their rice off a leafAre horrified out of their lives.When these lines first caught my eyes, I was shocked--how could two people remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past? Today's society, of course, is an entirely different picture. Those people who used to eat with gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips. Indeed, just take China as example; Our modern life has been influenced by Western style of living in so many ways that it's no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at McDonald's and even rather elderly people dressed in Apple Jeans. However, these are only some expressions of the cultural changes taking place in our society today. What is really going on is a subtle but significant restructuring of the nation's mentality. Just look around. How many college graduates are ready to compete aggressively for every job opportunity, whereas not long ago they were asked just to sit idle and wait for whatever was to be assigned to them by the government? How many young people are now eager to seek for an independent life whereas only two decades ago they would rely totally on their parents to arrange for their future? Ask anyone who participates in today's speech contest. Who has not come with a will to fight and who has not come determined to achieve self-fulfillment in winning the game? And I'm quite certain that if Confucius had lived to see today's China, he would have been horrified to see young lovers kissing each other in public places in an unreserved expression of their passion. It is therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient Eastern civilization are already living under strong influence of the Western culture. But it is not only in China that we find the incorporation of the two cultures. Take the United States as an example: During the 1980s, in face of the overwhelming competition from Japan, many American companies such as the Ford began to adopt a teamwork management from their rivals, the essence of which, lay at the very core of Eastern culture. Take the Chinese acupuncture as another example: This traditional treatment of diseases is finally finding its way to the West and hence the underlying notion that illness is resulted from the imbalance between yin and yang within the body--an idea which would strike any Westerner as incredible in the past! Ladies and Gentlemen, we live in a great epoch when the global integration of economy and the information revolution have brought cultures of the world closer than ever before. We live in a particular era when countries, East and West, find themselves in need of readjusting their traditional values. We live, at the same time, at a critical juncture of our evolution because such problems as ethnic conflicts and regional unrest are increasingly posing a threat to the peace and happiness of the whole human race.To cope with such an era and to embrace an even brighter future, we need to learn to live more harmoniously in a world community which is becoming smaller and smaller. My dear fellow students, our command of the English language render sit possible for us to gain an insight into Western culture while retaining our own cultural identity. Therefore, it is our sacred responsibility to promote the cultural exchanges and hence the mutual understanding between China and the rest of the world. It is my happiest dream that new generation of Chinese will not only grow up drinking Coca cola and watching Hollywood, but also be blessed with the far-reaching benefits of multiple cultures; benefits that our forefathers had never, ever dreamed of. To end my speech, I would like to quote Rudyard Kipling again:All the people like us are WeAnd everyone else is TheyBut once you cross over the seaYou will end by looking on WeAs only a sort of They.Thank you.译文:穿越海洋女士们、先生们，晚上好。
今天，我演讲的题目是:《穿越海洋》。
英国诗人罗得雅德·吉卜林曾写过一首诗，名叫《我们与他们》，其中写道:像我们的人是我们其余的人是他们我们生活在海这边他们生活在路那边我们用牛角柄的刀叉吃猪牛肉吞吃粽叶包饭的他们吓得要死。
第一次读到这首诗，我很震惊——过去两个民族何以如此疏离、彼此陌生?当然今日的社会呈现出完全不同的情景:那些过去吃米饭的人们也开始喜欢吃鱼和薯条。
的确如此，就拿中国来说，西方的生活方式已经广泛地影响了我们的现代生活，以致对于年轻人对摇滚乐着迷，全家去吃麦当劳，老年人穿苹果牌牛仔裤，大家都已习以为常。
然而，这不过是我们当今社会中所发生的文化变迁的表面现象而已，真正发生的却是我们的民族心理开始了微妙而又有重大意义的重建，大家只要看看周围就会清楚。
不久以前，大学生还只是束手空坐，等待政府给他们分配工作;如今，又有多少大学生正在做充分准备，为争取任何工作机会而激烈角逐? 20年前年轻人还完全依靠父母为他们安排未来，今天又有多少年轻人在急切地寻求一种独立的生活?试问今天参加演讲比赛的诸位，谁不是带着志在一搏的心情来到这里?谁不是铁下心来赢得这场比赛以实现自我?如今年轻人毫无顾忌地宣泄情感当众亲吻，我确信，倘若孔子在世，他必被吓坏。
很明显，我们这些东方古老文明的后裔们早已生活在西方文化的强烈影响之下，然而出现这种异质文化合流的现象不止是在中国。
以美国为例，20世纪80年代，面对来自日本的强大竞争压力，许多美国公司如福特公司开始采用对手的集体合作管理方式，而这种方式正是东方文化核心之精华。
再以中华针灸为例，这种传统的医疗方法以及这种疗法的依据——即人体阴阳失调导致疾病最终得到西方社会的承认，而在过去，西方人还认为这是无稽之谈。
女士们，先生们，我们恰逢一个伟大的时代:全球经济一体化、信息革命使得世界各种文化联系比以往更加紧密;我们恰逢一个特殊的年代:无论是东方国家还是西方国家都意识到自身急需调整传统价值。
与此同时，我们正生活在发展的关键时刻:种族冲突，地区动荡正越来越威胁着整个人类的和平与幸福。
如何对待这一时代，拥抱更加灿烂的未来，我们需要学会在越来越小的世界大家庭中更加和睦地生活。
亲爱的同学们，我们掌握英语，得以了解西方文化，与此同时，又不失本民族的文化特征。
因此，促进中国与世界的文化交流与相互理解是我们神圣的责任。
我有一个美好的梦想，我梦想中国的年轻一代不仅仅在喝可口可乐、看好莱坞影片中成长，而且还受益于我们的父辈所从未梦想过的多元文化所带来的深远影响。
最后，再次以罗得雅德·吉卜林的诗作为我此次演讲的结尾:像我们的人是我们其余的人是他们然而一旦你们穿洋越海就不会再把我们看做仅仅是他们。
谢谢。
求一些名人励志英语演讲稿，不要太长的。
名人励志英语演讲稿Most people would like to be popular with others, but not everyone can achieve this goal. What is the secret to popularity? In fact, it is very si-mp-le. The first step is to improve our appearance. We should always make sure that we stay in good shape and drewell. When we are healthy and well-groomed, we will not only look better but also feel better. In addition, we should smile and appear friendly. After all, our facial expression is an important part of our appearance. If we can do this, people will be attracted to our good looks and impressed by our confidence.Another important step is developing more consideration for others. We should always put others first and place their interests before our own. It's also important to be good listeners; in this way people will feel comfortable enough to confide in us. However, no matter what we do, we must not gossip. Above all, we must remember to be ourselves, not phonies. Only by being sincere and respectful of others can we earn their respect. If we can do all of the above, I am sure popularity will come our way.如何才能受人欢迎大部分的人都想受人欢迎，但是并非每个人都能达到目标。
受欢迎的秘诀何在?事实上是很简单的。
步骤一，先改善我们的外表。
我们得确保自己很健康，并且穿着体面。
当我们既健康又穿戴整齐时，不仅看起来更有精神，自己也会觉得好多了。
此外，我们要保持微笑并表现得很友善。
毕竟，脸部表情是外观很重要的一环。
如果我们能做到这一点，别人会被我们的美好外表所吸引，并对我们的自信印象深刻。
另一个重要步骤，就是培养对别人的体贴。
永远以他人为重，并把别人的利益放在自己的利益之前。
当个好听众也是很重要的;如此一来，别人才能很自在地对我们吐露心事。
然而，不管我们做什么事，绝对不要说闲言闲语。
最重要的是，要做自己，不要当虚伪的人。
只有对人真诚又尊重时，才能赢得他人的尊敬。
如果我们能做到以上几点，我相信受人欢迎是指日可待的事。
Strive for balance in life 努力保持生活的平衡by Brain Dyson 布莱恩•戴森(可口可乐公司总裁)Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them----work, family, health, friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop one it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls—family, health, friends, and spirit—are made of glass. If you drop one of those, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same.You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they were your life, for without them, life is meaningless.Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time you live ALL the days of your life.Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.Don’t be afraid to admit that you are lethan perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together.Don’t be afraid to encourage risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly, and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.Don’t forget, a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is gift…… that’s why we call it the present.想象生命是一种往空中抛五个球的游戏，你把这五个球分别取名为：工作、家庭、朋友和心灵，而且你要努力不让它们落地。
你很快会了解到工作是一个橡皮球，如果你让它落地了，它还是会反弹起来。
但是，家庭、健康、朋友和心灵这四个球是用玻璃做成的。
如果你让它们掉到地上，它们将会不可避免地遭到磨损，留下印记、划痕，摔破甚至碎落一地。
它们将永远不会跟以前一样。
你必须了解这个道理，并且努力保持生活的平衡。
但要怎么才做得到呢?不要拿自己和他人比较而贬低自己的价值。
正是因为我们彼此不同，所以每个人才很特别。
不要因为别人看重哪些东西而把它们设定为自己的目标。
只有你才知道什么最适合自己。
不要将最亲密的人视为理所当然。
好好珍惜他们，就像是你的生命一样，因为没有他们，生命将失去意义。
不要让你的生命总在留恋过去或是遥想未来中流逝。
如果你活在每个当下，你就活出了人生的精彩。
当你还能给予的时候别轻言放弃。
只要你不放弃，万事皆有可能。
不要害怕承认你并非完美。
我们正是藉由这脆弱的细丝紧密地联系在一起。
不要害怕遇到危险。
我们正是在冒险中学会勇敢的。
不要以真爱难求为借口而紧闭心扉。
找到爱最快的方法就是给予你的爱;失去爱最快的方法就是紧紧地守着你的爱不放;维系爱最好的方法就是给爱一双翅膀。
不要匆忙地走完你的一生，以至于忘了自己到过哪里，要往哪里去。
不要害怕学习。
知识不会成为负担，是你可以轻松携带的珍宝。
不要漫不经心地蹉跎光阴或信口开河。
时间与话语都是收不回来的。
生活不是一场赛跑，而是每一步都需要体味的旅程。
昨天已成历史，明天还未可知，而今天则是一份礼物：那就是我们为什么称它为“当下”(译注：此处是双关语present的另一个意思是“礼物”)的原因。
使人励志，积极向上的600字演讲稿
每个人都有梦想，它是人人所向往的。
没有梦想的人的人生将是空虚的，人生没有梦想就如飞机失去航标，船只失去灯塔，终将被社会所淘汰。
但梦想总是随着思想的前进而改变的。
碌碌无为是庸人所为，奋发图强是智者之举。
童年时，我有一个梦想，我希望我有钱。
大人问：“小伙子，有了钱你要去干什么呢
”“我要去买泡泡糖”“如果你有很多钱呢
”“我会去买很多泡泡糖”“如果你有用不完的钱呢
”“我会把做泡泡糖的工厂买下来。
”的确小时侯的我们，天真无邪，有着一颗善良的童心，幸福与快乐是一曲不变的乐章。
慢慢步入小学，中学……就越会觉得压力的存在。
现在我有一个梦想。
我希望每天都不要有很多的家庭作业要做。
玩耍的时间一点点被剥夺，而我们一天中40%被禁锢在教室，很多时间在学习。
但是面对学习，还是一种模糊的认识。
俗话说“难得糊涂”，对事物的理解，也由封建主义发展到资本主义，越大就越觉得自己的观点是对的。
上初中的时候，我有一个梦想，我希望自己能成为一名尖子生；回到家能受到家人的表扬；在学校能受到老师们的肯定；在同学之间能有鹤立鸡群的表现。
但是，渐渐的，我发现实现这个梦想并不能靠要耍耍孩子气。
之后，我学会了奋斗。
忙忙碌碌一天加上晚自习后放学回家，真是又困又累，吃夜宵都没有味道。
这样的日子很单调，也许有时候想念许多小学同学，有时候赶着上课还是一双朦胧的睡眼。
讨厌死板的校服装，从不穿着它到处走。
星期六、星期天的时间真很短，孩子脾气真想犯，慢慢懂了做人的辛苦和梦想真是太难，还好我会努力，看每一个人都在为了生活而起早赶晚，把握自己不再松散。
今天，我有一个梦想，我希望自己能考上一所中意的高中。
我为着梦想，`每一天都苦苦寻找着充实自己的辅导书与练习卷，为着光明的未来而努力。
梦想像一粒种子，种在“心”的土壤里，尽管它很小，却可以生根开花，假如没有梦想，就像生活在荒凉的戈壁，冷冷清清，没有活力。
试问，我们在座的热血青年谁又愿意过那种行尸走肉的日子呢
我相信我不会，你们大家都不会。
有了梦想，也就有了追求，有了奋斗的目标，有了梦想，就有了动力。
梦想，是一架高贵桥梁，不管最终是否能到达彼岸，拥有梦想，并去追求它，这已经是一种成功，一种荣耀。
在追求梦想这个过程中，我们是在成长。
它会催人前进，也许在实现梦想的道路中，会遇到无数的挫折和困难，但没关系，跌倒了自己爬起来，为自己的梦想而前进，毕竟前途不仅靠运气，也靠自己创造出来。
以健康饮食为主题的演讲稿
大家好! 今天我演讲的题目是《从我做起，拒绝垃圾食品》。
新春佳节刚刚过去，压岁钱噼里啪啦地落进了同学们的口袋里，一定装得鼓鼓的吧。
用来买什么呢?相信很多同学会选择买吃的。
俗话说，爱“吃”之心人皆有之。
可是，让我们感到恐怖的是，现在大家爱吃的“食品”前面常常有个定语“垃圾”!连起来就是——垃圾食品! 你一定会说，“我才不吃垃圾呢?” 别急，下面请大家跟我一起回想这个场景：每当学校放学时，我们总会发现校外的小店里、小摊上中挤满了人。
各式各样的糖果、油炸食品和琳琅满目的膨化食品都是同学们的抢手货。
如果你说在放学那一幕里没有你的身影，想想你有没有缠着爸爸去麦当劳、肯德基，有没有要求妈妈买各种饮料而拒绝白开水，有没有咔嚓咔嚓、香喷喷地啃方便面呢?!请看世界卫生组织公布的垃圾食品大家庭的十位主要成员：油炸类食品，腌制类食品，肉类加工食品，饼干类食品，汽水可乐食品，方便类食品，罐头类食品，冷冻甜食类食品，烧烤类食品。
怎么样，相信在座的各位同学都中招了吧。
遗憾的是，以上食品都是同学们的最爱。
大家只知道这些食品美味可口，却不知道许多食品含有致癌物，有些会破坏维生素，汽水和可乐含有磷酸和碳酸，会带走人体内大量的钙……所以垃圾食品象毒品一样正侵害着我们的身体健康，它使很多小朋友欲罢不能。
更不用提那些包围在学校周围的“三无”垃圾食品了。
下面请事实说话——据报道：这些没有生产许可证、没有生产厂家，没有生产日期的“三无”食品，生产场所更是环境差、条件简陋：地上乱七八糟的摆放着一堆堆的半成品，一桶桶的地沟油，一罐罐花花绿绿的色素，一袋袋来历不明的添加剂，散发出刺鼻难闻的味道，引得一群苍蝇到处乱飞。
更让人恶心的是，为了让小食品更有劲道，工人就直接用脚在辣条上踩来踩去;许多做辣条的工人，由于长时间手与这些化学颜料接触，手都掉皮、腐烂了。
同学们，垃圾食品会给我们带来多么巨大的伤害啊!你们还敢吃吗?尤其是小学生，正处于生长发育的黄金阶段，需要丰富的营养，比如新鲜的蔬菜、水果、牛奶等。
为了我们自己的健康，为了更好地学习、快乐地成长，为了不让老师和家长为我们担心，我再一次呼吁——让我们一起行动起来，杜绝垃圾食品，倡导健康的饮食方式! 谢谢大家!
