优秀学生代表发言稿
优秀学生发言稿尊敬的领导、老师、亲爱的同学们大家下午好
我是。
今天很荣幸，能够代表全体优秀生在此发言。
转眼间，半学期在我们忙碌的身影中匆匆闪过。
期中考试，结束了，成绩不能代表一切，但它却是比较客观地反映出我们这段时期的学习状况。
它犹如一个句号为这半个学期的学习作了一个收尾，或残缺，或圆满。
都是一个事实不可改变。
只有勤奋的汗水撒入土地，才能长出成功的幼苗；只有奋斗的雨水浇灌幼苗，才能开出知识的花蕾；只有不懈的阳光呵护花蕾，才能开出理想的果实。
如今的荣誉，不仅有我自己的努力，有老师的谆谆教诲，有同学的互相帮助和竞争比拼。
经过自己的拼搏，终于取得了优异的成绩
期中，只是一个驿站，今后，还有很多的路要走。
我们应整装待发，面对接下来的段考，期末，甚至是中考。
今后，是我们一个新的起点，他激励我首先，要注重“三习”，即预习，练习和复习。
先说预习。
读书要泛读，精读，细读。
预习就要泛读，有时间可以精读，其实许多知识我们用心浏览一遍就会记住，练习不多说，我们手中的练习册，及老师的每次作业，都是练习的好材料，但是，练习的目标是掌握这道题，题海我是不赞同的。
再说复习，要条理清晰，尤其像思品那样，有时知识点特别乱，没有思绪，我在考试前习惯列一个知识体系图，一方面，复习知识，另一方面，以后还可以查看。
其次，合理安排好学习时间。
每天回家先把当天的作业完成，再利用剩下的时间预习、复习。
而且，要充分利用零星

如果我们能说好英语，我们就有更多的机会成功。
因为越来越多的人注意到这一点，学英语的人数正在已很高的速度增长。

caring for nature--overpopulation(关爱大自然)what is nature? its everything that exists in the world independently of people, such as pants and animals, earth and rocks, and the weather.now more and more people are focusing on the nature. it is no doubt that the nature is important to every human being. no nature, no life. because of the supplies of the nature, we have lived happily for a long time. and we started to gain every thing available from the nature. and this lasted so long a time. today, people have discovered that the nature around is getting worse and worse.what is threatening the nature? air and water pollution, overharvesting of plant and animal species, overpopulation and so on. overpopulation is the biggest source of pollution. lets take overpopulation as an example.what does overpopulation feel like? when we move slowly through the city in a tazi. when we enter a crowded slum district. when the temperature is high and when the air is thick with dust and smoke. the streets are crowded with people. the streets seem alive with people. people eating. people washing. people talking. people sleeping. people visiting each other, arguing and screaming. people relieving themselves. people pushing their hands through the taxi windows, begging. people leading animals. people, people, people, people. as we drive slowly through the crowd, sounding the taxis horn, the dust, heat, noise and cooking fires made it like a scene from hell! i admit, frightening.to the nature, overpopulation is a big problem. more people, more pollution. and the big population is threatening the nature every second.the rapid rise in world population is not creating problems only for the developing countries. the whole world faces the problem that raw materials are being used up at an increasing rate and food production can not keep up with the population increase. people in rich countries make the heaviest demands on the worlds resources, its food, fuel and land, and cause the most pollution. a baby born in the united states will use in his lifetime 30 times more of the worlds resources than a baby born in india. unless all the countries of the world take united action to deal with the population explosion there will be more and more people fighting for a share of less and less land, food and fuel, and the future will bring poverty, misery and war to us all.for most of the developing countries, it is a good idea to control the population growth. for example, china has carried out birth control for years. and this plan has a great effect on the world population.if the population continues to increase, if the air and water continue to be polluted, if we dont do something to protect wild-plant and wildlife species will be declining. species and biological communities have difficulty adapting to change. economic opportunities and the quality of life of future generations are also put at risk. by protecting nature, we protect ourselves.lets unite together, hand in hand we stand all across the land. we can make this world in which to live. hand in hand. control the population growth. take good care of our nature中学生英语演讲稿 Friendship 友谊Friendship Every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. My friends will listen to me when I want to speak, will wipe my eyes when I cry, 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. As students, we could share more time with our friends. The friendship in our young hearts is pure, fresh and simple. I often feel very lucky to have a lot of good friends. Especially when I had Justin as one of my best friends. Justin was my English teacher from the USA. I met him in 1996 when I was a student who could only speak very little English. Justin was a vivid young man with a bright smile on his face, and he always had his special way to make the class active and attractive. He taught us English by telling stories, playing games, singing songs, and even dancing. I could still remember very clearly that one afternoon when we fin-ished our class, we went to some other classes to sing songs for them, just like what people do in the states on Christmas Eve. It was so interesting and unforgettable. Justin was an excellent teacher, because he taught us not only how to study English well, but also the way to find out the beauty of the world and the way to be angels to others' lives. I know there was friendship and pure love in our hearts. Facing this valuable emotion neither nationality nor age was important, the real importance lay in faith, under-standing, and care. Justin is the best friend I have ever had, and I know I will cherish those days of staying together with him as the best part of my memory. Friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives. It is actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the sweeter it will be. It is also like a cup of tea. When we are thirsty, it will be our best choice, but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves, it is also the most fragrant drink. However, in this fast-developing modern society, the reality is not that. More and more people forget to enjoy the beauty of life and -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. Of course, we don't deny that it is important to find a bet-ter place in our lives, but we wish more and more people could pay a little more attention to themselves and their friends. All of us have to spare some time for personal lives. We have to find the chance to express our emotion and love. When staying with our friends, we can release ourselves completely. We can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry to-gether. I should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives. As we know, we would feel lonely if we didn't even have a friend. But it doesn't mean we could depend on our friends all the time. There is a famous motto saying that “A friend is like a quilt with cotton wadding, but the real thing that keeps you warm is your own temperature.” It is really true. We have to work hard together with our friends, encourage each other and help each other. When we receive love and friendship, we should repay as much as we can. Finally, let's pray together now that one day, all of us could find the person we want to find, and could enjoy a real beautiful friendship in our lives. Let's pray the flower of friendship be-tween our friends and us would always bloom brightly in our hearts
一篇适合大学生的3分钟英语演讲稿
怀希望，我已步入了人生的重要阶段，--大学阶段。
面对着这样一个崭新的开始，作为一名大学生的我既充满了热情也饱含疑惑。
如何能尽快融入大学生活，做一名合格的大学生，在我现阶段的学习和生活中显得尤为重要。
首先，我认为要树立明确的目标。
青年诗人汪国真说过“有一个心中的目标，常令我欢欣鼓舞，就像飞向火光的灰蛾，甘心做烈焰的俘虏”。
有了目标，我们不仅有了方向，更有了无穷的动力。
然而，拥有坚定的信念也是必不可少的，因为过程不可能是一帆风顺的，必然会遭到很多的困难，虽然逆境可能在最初时使你虚弱和受到伤害，但最终信念会使你变得更加坚强，抚平你的创伤，拥有了坚定的信念，你便能够在最黑暗的时刻看到希望的曙光。
还有就是要珍惜时间，时间就像电梯，我们就是乘电梯的陌生人，我们知道电梯在动，自己却没有明显的感觉，而当电梯的门再度打开时，我们已经投入了一个崭新的环境。
任何一个有责任感的人都不会浪费时间，为了再回首往事时，不以碌碌无为而羞耻，不因虚度年华而悔恨，对得起自己，对得起父母的关爱，老师的栽培。
我们一定要抓住每分每秒。
在大学里，要锻炼自己的沟通表达能力，交流思想必然要广交朋友，但也要慎重择友，朋友就像镜子。
可正衣冠知得失，但镜子也有不同，有些镜子大，可以照全身;有些镜子小，只可以看眼眉，更有些哈哈镜，足以扭曲我们的容貌，大镜子可以给我们通盘的指正，至于哈哈镜，除了逗人一笑，就毫无用处了。
该选择什么样的朋友想必大家心中有数了。
做到这些仍不是一名优秀的大学生，因为英国诗人济慈曾说过：在上百万人中或者会出现才智超群或者尽善尽美的人物，但他们还不是精英，除非他们已获得特性，除非他们每个人都与众不同。
作为一个新时代的大学生我们需要有自己的思想、气质、风格。
我相信，我们每个人都能够成为不仅合格而且优秀的大学生
大学英语演讲稿
Some people think there is no true friendship exsting, but I believe a friend in need is a friend in deed.In my oppinion, friends are those who could share happiness and also sadness with you together. When you are upset, they could comfort you,and say I know you whether they really know or not. And when you get success they will be joyful with you. They may be sometimes hurt you, but never at the urgent time.And friendship needs no rewards. But that depends on two sides of us. Each side is a important ingridient.In a word, I believe in true friendship.

Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves. ~Henry David Thoreau迷失自我，才能发现自我。
——亨利·大卫·梭罗（美国作家及自然主义者）Everything about my future was ambiguously assumed. I would get into debt by going to college, then I would be forced to get a job to pay off that debt, while still getting into more and more debt by buying a house and a car. It seemed like a never-ending cycle that had no place for the possibility of a dream. 我们未来的一切似乎都模糊地设定好了，利用贷款上大学，然后为了还债被迫去找一份工作，还要为了买房买车背负更多的债务……这仿佛是一个无休止的循环，让我们的梦想没有实现的机会。
I want more—but not necessarily in the material sense of personal wealth and success. I want more out of life. I want a passion, a conceptual dream that wouldn't let me sleep out of pure excitement. I want to spring out of bed in the morning, rain or shine, and have that zest for life that seemed so intrinsic in early childhood. 我们想要的更多——并不是对于个人财富和成功等物质性需求，我们对于生活，想要更多。
我想要热忱、有概念的梦想，让我不会空怀纯粹的兴奋入睡。
我希望能在早晨一跃起床，无论是阳光普照还是刮风下雨，也能对生活充满热情，就像我们的童年时固有的一样。
We all have a dream. It might be explicitly defined or just a vague idea, but most of us are so stuck in the muck of insecurity and self-doubt that we just dismiss it as unrealistic or too difficult to pursue. 我们都有梦想，无论它是明确的目标还是模糊的主意，但我们大多数人都受困于不安全和自我怀疑的泥泞里，我们把梦想看做是不现实的、难以追求的，最后放弃了。
We become so comfortable with the life that has been planned out for us by our parents, teachers, traditions, and societal norms that we feel that it's stupid and unsafe to risk losing it for the small hope of achieving something that is more fulfilling. 我们变得满足于父母、老师、传统及社会规条为我们营造的安逸生活。
为了那一点点能够为生活变得更充实的希望去冒险，我们会认为这是愚蠢和危险的。
The policy of being too cautious is the greatest risk of all. ~Jawaharlal Nehru过于谨慎才是最大的危险——贾瓦哈拉尔·尼赫鲁（印度开国总理）Taking a risk is still a risk. We can, and will, fail. Possibly many, many, many times. But that is what makes it exciting for me. That uncertainty can be viewed negatively, or it can empower us. 冒险始终还是有风险。
我们，也有可能失败，还有可能是失败很多很多次。
但这会让我们更加兴奋。
不确定因素看起来有不利，但同时也能激励我们。
Failing is what makes us grow, it makes us stronger and more resilient to the aspects of life we have no control over. The fear of failure, although, is what makes us stagnant and sad. So even though I couldn't see the future as clearly as before, I took the plunge in hopes that in the depths of fear and failure, I would come out feeling more alive than ever before. 失败能让我们成长，让我们更强大，让我们更能适应生活中难以控制的各个方面。
对于失败的恐惧，让我们停滞不前，悲伤不已。
尽管不能清晰地看见未来，在恐惧和失败的深渊里，我们也要保持希望，那么我们将活得更有生命力。
If you feel lost, just take a deep breath and realize that being lost can be turning point of finding out who you truly are, and what you truly want to do. 如果你迷失了自我，请深呼吸，迷失或许能成为你人生的转折点，让你发现真正的自己，并让你知道自己想真正成为怎样的人。

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。
