英語的演講稿【篇1】

親愛的同學(xué)們：

大家好。期中剛剛過去，經(jīng)過這一段時間的學(xué)習(xí)，相信同學(xué)們已經(jīng)查漏補(bǔ)缺，認(rèn)識到了自己的不足。轉(zhuǎn)眼間，還剩下一個多月的學(xué)習(xí)時間，初一生活就將向我們揮手告別。我們要利用這一個多月的時間，把初一畫上一個完美的句號，為今后更加繁重的學(xué)習(xí)任務(wù)打下堅實的基礎(chǔ)。

對于絕大多數(shù)同學(xué)來說，英語始終是心頭大患。我與大家經(jīng)歷相同，從4年級便被扣上了這頂帽子，每一次考試，英語總是給我拖后腿，但在一次次摸索中，我也在不斷進(jìn)步，總結(jié)了一些經(jīng)驗。正所謂“方向不對，努力白費(fèi)”，正確的學(xué)習(xí)方法會使我們的學(xué)習(xí)效率大大提高，從而達(dá)到事半功倍的目的。下面是我總結(jié)的一些學(xué)習(xí)英語的經(jīng)驗，希望可以供同學(xué)們參考。

第一，做好課堂筆記。

顧名思義，課堂筆記便是利用課堂時間將老師所講的重點、難點、疑點記下，千萬不可以“手懶”，對于知識零碎的英語來說更是如此，好記性不如爛筆頭。然后是回顧筆記，回顧筆記才是做筆記的重點，建議大家，周末時專門抽出時間回顧一下當(dāng)周所做的筆記，這樣能有效地緩解緊張的心理，可以讓你在下一周的學(xué)習(xí)中得心應(yīng)手。舉個我自己的`例子吧，記得有一次英語抽測，我抱著僥幸的心理，沒有做好復(fù)習(xí)工作，所以考試前就開始臨時抱佛腳，結(jié)果到了最后，根本沒有時間復(fù)習(xí)完，考試時慌慌張張，考得一塌糊涂。所以說，做好筆記對于學(xué)生來說十分重要。

第二，整理回顧錯題。

對于很多同學(xué)來說，都能做到整理錯題，但重點是我們不僅僅要整理，更要回顧與反思。所謂“好馬不吃回頭草”對我們學(xué)生萬萬不可適用，要想成功擠過中考這座獨木橋，就必須回顧自己的錯題，也防止再出現(xiàn)類似的失誤。再舉個例子吧，我開始和很多同學(xué)一樣只是糾一下錯，之后就不管了，但是有一次考試，我真記得做過某一題，就是忘了怎么做，結(jié)果不僅沒做出題，心情也糟糕透頂，考試結(jié)果可想而知慘不忍睹，后來我學(xué)著經(jīng)?；仡欏e題本，慢慢地積累，厚積薄發(fā)，考試也不再出現(xiàn)類似的失誤。

第三，要利用零碎的時間。

英語是一門需要長期積累的科目，知識點很多，一定要好好利用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)、學(xué)習(xí)機(jī)和其他移動方便的設(shè)備，更不用說書籍和雜志這樣的傳統(tǒng)學(xué)習(xí)資源！你完全可以在課間、排隊、午休等時間記幾個單詞，要養(yǎng)成“天天英語”的習(xí)慣，每天按老師的要求作一篇完形閱讀，堅持天天聽英語。其實學(xué)英語的過程更像是一朵云的形成，是水汽的一點點積累；而不像砌一面墻那樣，把磚堆上去就好。

個誤區(qū)，對基礎(chǔ)知識重視不夠。基礎(chǔ)知識是最簡單的但也是最重要的。

許多人面對這個問題時總是用不認(rèn)真、不仔細(xì)來解釋，但這不是根源。前面提到，即使去檢查也不一定能查出來，而且還會浪費(fèi)一些思考偏難題的時間。因此，一次做對是關(guān)鍵。但怎樣才能一次做對呢？首先，要重視熟練。古人說熟能生巧，只有多做練習(xí)才能做到熟練，心中掛一個警鐘，一遇到這種題小心就能避免出錯。經(jīng)常做練習(xí)，看到這些題就能不假思索寫出正確答案，這樣就比我們草草做完，回頭花大量時間去檢查要好的多。

當(dāng)然，英語學(xué)習(xí)并不只是這么一點，同時需我們多進(jìn)行一些詞匯量的擴(kuò)展。課外閱讀是一個很好的方法。我們手中的空中英語教室就是一個很好的選擇。遇到不懂的單詞多查，多問。擴(kuò)充我們的詞匯庫。

掌握以上幾個要點，再加上勤奮。我相信，每個人都可以在英語考試中運(yùn)籌帷幄。以上是我學(xué)習(xí)英語的一點小經(jīng)驗。我希望大家都能重視基礎(chǔ)知識，學(xué)好英語。謝謝大家！

英語的演講稿【篇2】

With the spread of the consciousness of environmental protection，the word “l(fā)ow-carbon” has been very popular in life。 We can find it in many aspects，such as low-carbon products，low-carbon consumption，and low-carbon travel and so on。 Generally speaking，more and more people are advocating “l(fā)ow-carbon” lifestyle。

隨著環(huán)境保護(hù)意識的傳播，“低碳這個詞在生活中變得很受歡迎。在許多方面都能夠找到它，如低碳產(chǎn)品，低碳消費(fèi)，低碳旅游等?？傊絹碓蕉嗳颂岢暗吞肌鄙罘绞?。

As implied in the name，“l(fā)ow-carbon” lifestyle is a kind of new pattern of lifestyle which aims to lowering the carbon dioxide emission in living as much as possible。 For example，some office workers are not proud of driving private cars from work to home any more but pride themselves on riding or taking public transportation。 In addition，they advocate recycling water and saving energy as much as they can。

就像名字暗示的那樣，“低碳”的生活方式，是一種旨在盡量降低生活中二氧化碳排放量的新型生活方式。例如，一些上班族不再以開私家車上班回家自豪，而是騎車或乘坐公共交通工具而感到驕傲。此外，他們提倡循環(huán)用水，盡可能多的節(jié)儉能源。

As college students，we also make some contribution in our daily life to reduce the emission of the carbon dioxide。 For example，switch off the light when leaving and save water。 In addition，we should use our knowledge and action to arouse others’ concern about the importance of lowering emission of carbon dioxide and lead them to lead a “l(fā)ow-carbon” life。

作為大學(xué)生，在日常生活中我們也做了一些貢獻(xiàn)來減少二氧化碳的排放。例如，在離開的時候關(guān)燈，節(jié)儉用水。并且，我們應(yīng)當(dāng)利用我們的知識，采取行動來引起別人對降低二氧化碳排放的重要性的關(guān)注并引導(dǎo)他們過“低碳生活”。

英語的演講稿【篇3】

One of the most important problems a young person faces is deciding what to do. There are some people, of course, who from the time they are six years old “know” that they want to be doctors or pilots or fire fighters, but the majority of us do not get around to making a decision about an occupation or career until somebody or something forces us to face the problem.

一個年輕人面對的重要問題之一就是決定從事什么樣的.工作。當(dāng)然了有一些人從六歲大的時候就決定自己將來要當(dāng)醫(yī)生、飛行員或者消防員，但是我們中的大多數(shù)人并沒有決定將來從事什么樣的職業(yè)，直到有人或事情迫使我們面對這個問題。

Choosing an occupation takes time, and there are a lot of things you have to think about as you try to decide what you would like to do. You may find that you will have to take special courses to qualify for a particular kind of work, or you may find out that you will need to get actual work experience to gain enough knowledge to qualify for a particular job.

選擇職業(yè)需要實踐，當(dāng)你去決定你將做什么的時候有很多事情你不得不考慮。你會發(fā)現(xiàn)為了勝任某種特定的工作你不得不去上一些專門的課程，或者你也會發(fā)現(xiàn)為了勝任某份工作你必須在實踐中獲得足夠的知識。

Fortunately, there are a lot of people you can turn to for advice and help in making your decision. At most schools, there are teachers who are professionally qualified to give you detailed information about job qualifications. And you can talk over your ideas with family members and friends who are always ready to listen and to offer suggestions.

幸運(yùn)的是，在你做出決定的時候你可以從很多人那里得到建議和幫助。在大多數(shù)學(xué)校里，關(guān)于職業(yè)的選擇上教師很擅長于給出很詳細(xì)的信息。你也可以和你的家人和朋友交流你自己的想法，他們會時刻準(zhǔn)備傾聽你的述說并提出他們的建議。

英語的演講稿【篇4】

My home village is a small one. It’s in Yuxian county of Shanxi Province. Small as it is， it’s very beautiful.

There are many hills around my home village and they are more beautiful than some big mountains. In spring， we can fly kites which are made by ourselves on the top of the hills. The kites fly very high.In summer， the trees are green and the grass is green， too. It is green everywhere on the hills. There are so many wild apple trees on the hills. The wild apples are nice to eat. In autumn， the corns under and around the hills are ripe. So we eat them almost every day. In winter， when it snows， all the ground is covered with snow. We can play with snow and sometimes we eat the clean snow with sugar. In my hometown the sky is blue， the air is clean， the water is sweet and the people are very friendly. I love my hometown!

我的家鄉(xiāng)是位于山西盂縣的一個小村莊。它雖然小但非常美麗。

家鄉(xiāng)被群山環(huán)繞，這些小山甚至比大山川還要美麗。春日里，我們在山巔放飛自制的風(fēng)箏;夏天里，漫山遍野是長得綠油油的草木，各種野果美味誘人;秋日里，山下和山周圍的玉米熟了，我們幾乎天天能嘗到新鮮的玉米;冬日里，雪花飄飄，大地銀妝素裹，我們玩雪，有時還就著糖吃幾口干凈的白雪。我的家鄉(xiāng)天空蔚藍(lán)，空氣清新，水兒甜美，人們好客。我愛我的家鄉(xiāng)。

林俊杰《西界》，第5張全新創(chuàng)作專輯。非常J FUSION年度必專輯！東方古典+南歐浪漫+美西靈魂+北非熱06/29全亞洲盛大跨界發(fā)行。每個心中都有西界，通往那個未知的自己，在與恨之間，在黑與白之間，在善與惡之間。名曲曹作詞大師-林秋離，神來之筆創(chuàng)西界之說。

羅比威廉斯&MR.Children&Glay都崇拜的，大師信藤先生"雙J與鳥"概念之作，讓這張專輯視覺充滿想象力。一年一度跨界盛事，新專輯收集世界大師精髓繞著地球跑！大師信藤三雄獻(xiàn)出華作，歌姬米希亞聞樂慕名求合作！美國舞蹈宗師Dave Scott首度為亞洲歌手編舞，Top5 Dancers現(xiàn)身尬舞！國際古箏大師王勇揭開序幕，金鐘影帝王傳一跨刀以聲相許！香港道具高手特制奇幻視覺道具空運(yùn)來臺，新馬中港臺海音樂才子共聚一堂三千萬大制作！寫歌譜曲編曲制作全創(chuàng)作專輯！

林俊杰收起陽光笑容，當(dāng)起了"手"。為了這次的專輯，不僅在音樂上有所突破。這次的造型偏向熟，帶點神經(jīng)質(zhì)又有些使壞的感覺，看起來上較為利利落灑。感覺已經(jīng)開始從陽光男孩，慢慢走出自己的個味道，在視覺的造型變化上，不同以往。在內(nèi)地、星馬奔波忙的不可開的他，寫歌的.時間只能在飛機(jī)上或旅館搶時間完，首波主打"手"是林俊杰在看完《關(guān)鍵密碼》后得到的靈感，之后就譜出了曲，他馬上把他的概念告訴老板林秋離并請他寫詞。這次的新專輯，融合了多樣的音樂曲風(fēng)，他想讓J-Fusion的概念更加的完整，所以整張專輯的和音樂走向是由林俊杰主導(dǎo)，更清楚的表達(dá)了自己的音樂理念。

在三十歲之前我想做的三件事

Ladies and Gentlemen, Good afternoon/morning!I?m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech;today my topic is “the important three things I want to fulfill before thirty”.Undoubtedly, all of us have their own plans to do something at the certain state of their age and we make sure the priorities should be done at the very important time of our life.That?s right;now let me share you the very three things I desperately want to finish before thirty,Firstly, I want to be a fully qualified teacher and try my best to make a great progress in my teaching field, teaching my students to learn to behave and then learn to study, I consider that it?s the very essence of a good teacher and it ?s also the ideal of my occupation development.Second ,I hope that I can catch every chance to travel to more places to promote myself.It?s said that travel can widen one?s field of vision.Exactly, as far as I?m concerned, travelling do a great help to us ,not only to relax ourselves but also to gain more cultural knowledge to enrich our life.Thirdly, to help the children from remote areas and hope that they can receive a better education, we know that the economic and education situation is not so good in the remote villages.Therefore, as a teacher, I really expect that my contribution to these remote areas can come in handy and then prove the level of our education.So much for my speech!

Thank you for listening!

白宮版米歇爾北大演講英文全文

【2014年03月23日訊】正在訪華的美國第一夫人米歇爾．奧巴馬星期六（3月22日）上午到北京大學(xué)斯坦福中心訪問并發(fā)表講演講。以下是白宮對外公布的米歇爾英文演講的全部內(nèi)容。

MRS.OBAMA:(Applause.)Thank you.Well, ni-hao.(Laughter.)It is such a pleasure and an honor to be here with all of you at this great university, so thank you so much for having me.Now, before I get started today, on behalf of myself and my husband, I just want to say a few very brief words about Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.As my husband has said, the United States is offering as many resources as possible to assist in the search.And please know that we are keeping all of the families and loved ones of those on this flight in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.Now with that, I want to start by recognizing our new Ambassador to China, Ambassador Baucus;President Wang;Chairman Zhu;Vice President Li;Director Cueller;Professor Oi, and the Stanford Center;President Sexton from New York University, which is an excellent study abroad program in Shanghai;and John Thornton, Director of the Global Leadership Program at Tsinghua University.Thank you all for joining us.But most of all, I want to thank all of the students who are here today.And I particularly want to thank Eric Schaefer and Zhu Xuanhao for that extraordinary English and Chinese introduction.That was a powerful symbol of everything that I want to talk with you about today.See, by learning each other’s languages, and by showing such curiosity and respect for each other’s cultures, Mr.Schafer and Ms.Zhu and all of you are building bridges of understanding that will lead to so much more.And I’m here today because I know that our future depends on connections like these among young people like you across the globe.That’s why when my husband and I travel abroad, we don’t just visit palaces and parliaments and meet with heads of state.We also come to schools like this one to meet with students like you, because we believe that relationships between nations aren’t just about relationships between governments or leaders--they’re about relationships between people, particularly young people.So we view study abroad programs not just as an educational opportunity for students, but also as a vital part of America’s foreign policy.Through the wonders of modern technology, our world is more connected than ever before.Ideas can cross oceans with the click of a panies can do business and compete with companies across the globe.And we can text, email, Skype with people on every continent.So studying abroad isn’t just a fun way to spend a semester;it is quickly becoming the key to success in our global economy.Because getting ahead in today’s workplaces isn’t just about getting good grades or test scores in school, which are important.It’s also about having real experience with the world beyond your borders –-experience with languages, cultures and societies very different from your own.Or, as the Chinese saying goes: “It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.”

But let’s be clear, studying abroad is about so much more than improving your own future.It’s also about shaping the future of your countries and of the world we all share.Because when it comes to the defining challenges of our time-– whether it’s climate change or economic opportunity or the spread of nuclear weapons--these are shared challenges.And no one country can confront them alone.The only way forward is together.That’s why it is so important for young people like you to live and study in each other’s countries, because that’s how you develop that habit of cooperation.You do it by immersing yourself in one another’s culture, by learning each other’s stories, by getting past the stereotypes and misconceptions that too often divide us.That’s how you come to understand how much we all share.That’s how you realize that we all have a stake in each other’s success--that cures discovered here in Beijing could save lives in America, that clean energy technologies from Silicon Valley in California could improve the environment here in China, that the architecture of an ancient temple in Xi’an could inspire the design of new buildings in Dallas or Detroit.And that’s when the connections you make as classmates or labmates can blossom into something more.That’s what happened when Abigail Coplin became an American Fulbright Scholar here at Peking University.She and her colleagues published papers together in top science journals, and they built research partnerships that lasted long after they returned to their home countries.And Professor Niu Ke from Peking University was a Fulbright Scholarship--Scholar in the U.S.last year, and he reported--and this is a quote from him--he said, “The most memorable experiences were with my American friends.”

These lasting bonds represent the true value of studying abroad.And I am thrilled that more and more students are getting this opportunity.As you’ve heard, China is currently the fifth most popular destination for Americans studying abroad, and today, the highest number of exchange students in the U.S.are from China.But still, too many students never have this chance, and some that do are hesitant to take it.They may feel like studying abroad is only for wealthy students or students from certain kinds of universities.Or they may think to themselves, well, that sounds fun but how will it be useful in my life? And believe me, I understand where these young people are coming from because I felt the same way back when I was in college.See, I came from a working-class family, and it never occurred to me to study abroad--never.My parents didn’t get a chance to attend college, so I was focused on getting into a university, earning my degree so that I could get a good job to support myself and help my family.And I know for a lot of young people like me who are struggling to afford a regular semester of school, paying for plane tickets or living expenses halfway around the world just isn’t possible.And that’s not acceptable, because study abroad shouldn’t just be for students from certain backgrounds.Our hope is to build connections between people of all races and socioeconomic backgrounds, because it is that diversity that truly will change the face of our relationships.So we believe that diversity makes our country vibrant and strong.And our study abroad programs should reflect the true spirit of America to the world.And that’s why when my husband visited China back in 2009, he announced the 100,000 Strong initiative to increase the number and diversity of American students studying in China.And this year, as we mark the 35th anniversary of the normalization of relationships between our two countries, the U.S.government actually supports more American students in China than in any other country in the world.We are sending high school, college and graduate students here to study Chinese.We’re inviting teachers from China to teach Mandarin in American schools.We’re providing free online advising for students in China who want to study in the U.S.And the U.S.-China Fulbright program is still going strong with more than 3,000 alumni.And the private sector is stepping up as well.For example, Steve Schwarzman, who is the head of an American company called Blackstone, is funding a new program at Tsinghua University modeled on the Rhodes Scholarship.And today, students from all kinds of backgrounds are studying here in China.Take the example of Royale Nicholson, who’s from Cleveland, Ohio.She attends New York University’s program in Shanghai.Now, like me, Royale is a first-generation college student.And her mother worked two full-time jobs while her father worked nights to support their family.And of her experience in Shanghai, Royale said--and this is her quote--she said, “This city oozes persistence and inspires me to accomplish all that I can.” And happy birthday, Royale.It was her birthday yesterday.(Laughter.)

And then there’s Philmon Haile from the University of Washington, whose family came to the U.S.as refugees from Eritrea when he was a child.And of his experience studying in China, he said, “Study abroad is a powerful vehicle for people-to-people exchange as we move into a new era of citizen diplomacy.”

“A new era of citizen diplomacy.” I could not have said it better myself, because that’s really what I’m talking about.I am talking about ordinary citizens reaching out to the world.And as I always tell young people back in America, you don’t need to get on a plane to be a citizen diplomat.I tell them that if you have an Internet connection in your home, school, or library, within seconds you can be transported anywhere in the world and meet people on every continent.And that’s why I’m posting a daily travel blog with videos and photos of my experiences here in China, because I want young people in America to be part of this visit.And that’s really the power of technology –-how it can open up the entire world and expose us to ideas and innovations we never could have imagined.And that’s why it’s so important for information and ideas to flow freely over the Internet and through the media, because that’s how we discover the truth.That’s how we learn what’s really happening in our communities and our country and our world.And that’s how we decide which values and ideas we think are best –-by questioning and debating them vigorously, by listening to all sides of an argument, and by judging for ourselves.And believe me, I know how this can be a messy and frustrating process.My husband and I are on the receiving end of plenty of questioning and criticism from our media and our fellow citizens.And it’s not always easy, but we wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.Because time and again, we have seen that countries are stronger and more prosperous when the voices of and opinions of all their citizens can be heard.And as my husband has said, we respect the uniqueness of other cultures and societies, but when it comes to expressing yourself freely and worshipping as you choose and having open access to information, we believe those universal rights--they are universal rights that are the birthright of every person on this planet.We believe that all people deserve the opportunity to fulfill their highest potential as I was able to do in the United States.And as you learn about new cultures and form new friendships during your time here in China and in the United States, all of you are the living, breathing embodiment of those values.So I guarantee you that in studying abroad, you’re not just changing your own life, you are changing the lives of everyone you meet.And as the great American President John F.Kennedy once said about foreign students studying in the U.S., he said “I think they teach more than they learn.” And that is just as true of young Americans who study abroad.All of you are America’s best face, and China’s best face, to the world--you truly are.Every day, you show the world your countries’ energy and creativity and optimism and unwavering belief in the future.And every day, you remind us--and me in particular--of just how much we can achieve if we reach across borders, and learn to see ourselves in each other, and confront our shared challenges with shared resolve.So I hope you all will keep seeking these kinds of experiences.And I hope you’ll keep teaching each other, and learning from each other, and building bonds of friendship that will enrich your lives and enrich our world for decades to come.You all have so much to offer, and I cannot wait to see all that you achieve together in the years ahead.Thank you so much.Xie-Xie.(Applause.)
