英语课前演讲稿1

　　in the matter of courage we all have our limits. there never was a hero who did not have his bounds. i suppose it may be said of nelson and all the others whose courage has been advertised that there came times in their lives when their bravery knew it had come to its limit.

　　i have found mine a good many times. sometimes this was expected--often it was unexpected. i know a man who is not afraid to sleep with a rattle-snake, but you could not get him to sleep with a safety-razor.

　　i never had the courage to talk across a long, narrow room. i should be at the end of the room facing all the audience. if i attempt to talk across a room i find myself turning this way and that, and thus at alternate periods i have part of the audience behind me. you ought never to have any part of the audience behind you; you never can tell what they are going to do.

　　i'll sit down.

　　I want to be a art teacher, teach the children to draw. They need not draw much well, but must have a rich imagination, can think out can draw. They can put the sun as various shapes; Can draw a tree out of all kinds of fruit... Guess my students grow up also can become the art teacher, even a great artist! I think I must be serious to teach them!

　　I also want to play with ma small jump in (although the dream is not reality, but is I the most hope!) Go to help MaiDongNa sister take care of the German shepherd and to lose the French poodle cher. And got keratitis xi shi dog disfigured and got gastroenteritis bulldogs osama bin laden. Although osama bin laden "sacrifice" in the end but I still like it very much. Believe that ugly and snow is the same. I also want to and Wendy, ma small jump? Tang fei together to find the jungle of the giant panda. Wendy the most memorable gift. I also want to go with him to meet foreign students cowhide, together with the angel gave him a use cross-stitch embroidered his name. And he go to see the little hero "little Africa". Help ballet princess to realize her dream... But the most hope still can ma small jump to our class!

　　I know, I dream too much, much to the I don't know what to do, however, I still know to study hard and make efforts to achieve those I can realize my dream of.

　　I decided to be a middle school teacher after college. There are many reasons contribute to this decision.

　　Firstly, when I was a little boy, I have been dreaming of being a teacher. It seemed so fascinate to me and I hope I can make my dream come true.

　　Besides, I like so much to be with middle school students. Most of the students at that age are full of youthful spirity and I am sure their passion would pass to me. I will retain all the zest of adolescence.

　　The most important reason is that our country needs plenty of teachers. So far, teaching is considered a tough and low-income in China. However, if we have not enough teachers, our future will lack of excellent scientist, managers, businessmen, soldiers and even goood workers and farmers. How can our country to be strong and wealthy?

　　I wish my country to be a better one. I am ready to be a teacher and hope all the persons with lofty ideals may dedicate themselves to this meaningful career.

　　我决定在大学毕业后成为一位中学教师。有许多原因促成了这一决定。

　　首先，当我还是一个小男孩的时候，我一直梦想成为一名教师。它让我着迷，我希望我可以让我的梦想成真。

　　此外，我很喜欢和中学生在一起。在这个年龄的大多数学生都充满了青春的朝气，我相信他们的热情会传递给我。我将保留所有青春的热情。

　　最重要的原因是我们的国家需要大量的教师。，教学被认为是在中国艰难的收入。然而，如果我们没有足够的教师，我们的未来会缺乏优秀的科学家、经理、商人、士兵甚至是工人和农民。我们的国家如何才能成为强大的和富有的?

　　我希望我的国家能成为一个更好的国家。我已准备好成为一名教师，希望所有有远大理想的人都能投身于这项有意义的事业。

英语课前演讲稿4

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

　　Some of us are having problems with our parents, as they often look into our school bags or read our diaries. I fully understand why we are not comfortable about it, but there’s no need to feel too sad. Our parents are checking our bags or diaries to make sure we’re not getting into any trouble. They have probably heard some horrible stories about other kids and thought we might do the same. Or perhaps they just want to connect with us but are doing it all wrong. My suggestion is: Tell them we want them to trust us as much as we’d like to trust them. If you don’t think you can talk to them, write them a letter and leave it lying around—they are bound to read it.

　　Thank you!

　　people are like tea bags—you have to put them in hot water before you know how strong they are." i can still remember the words that dad said to me years ago.

　　when i was young, i used to be very naughty. life then was like a glaball ,shining with bright colours. i had once gone down to the river bank, catching a great many worms and was afterwards punished by mum. i had ever cut the pillow towel into pieces in order to make clothes for my dolls. similarly, i was then blamed seriously. once i even put the hot iron on the floor which immediately burnt a big hole on the carpet. although i had done so many annoying things, my childhood seemed to be rather colourful. however, i had never had a clear definition about myself. but then something happened. it had made a great difference to my life and made who i am now.

　　i had always been afraid of having the intravenous drop in hospital. the first time i was taken to have the drop, i cried for almost half an hour and finally gave off at father's severe scolding. watching the cold needle stabbing into my skin, i cried even more loudly. at that time, i never dared to take a glance at my hand and always needed my mother to stay with me at my side. even if mum had told me many times," honey, there’s nothing to be scared of. just close your eyes and sleep." i would still keep my eyes wide open, watching the liquid flow through the bottle and never slept.

　　nevertheless, things just happened in a casual way. when i caught a high fever again when young, mum had to send for the doctor home to treat me. i was so sick that i became quite drowsy and then slept. when i suddenly woke up in the afternoon, i found the liquid in the bottle had already flown over ,while mum and dad were not around. i yelled, but finally found it was of no use. so i jumped out of the bed and pulled up the tubule. in the nature of things, the blood came out and dropped along the way i went downstairs. things became different at the time i went down alone. i discovered that i could be independent. i was much stronger than i had thought. looking back on the girl who cried all day, i came to understand suddenly that the strong part of the inner myself had been existing all the time. seeing the anxious mum, i revealed a big smile to her. i could see that mum was trying to hold her tears back and scrubbed my blood on the hand. she didn't know that her little girl had stealthily grown up.

　　since then, i became stronger. as you see now, standing in front of you is a confident and sunny girl. in my grown-up life, i've never cried for being injured no matter how serious it is. i can even go to the hospital alone when mum and dad are on business. i came acroso many difficulties in life, while i've never thought of giving up. thanks to that extraordinary experience at my age of ten, i discovered a person inside myself who has been so important and unique to me. just like what dad had told me before, "people are like tea bags—you have to put them in hot water before you know how strong they are."

　　today, as people live a better life, they chase for more enjoyment. we can see from the news that when the holiday comes, there are so many people gather in the scenery site. people like to travel today, they can take a plane, take the bus or even take a bike. on my opinion, the best way to travel is by train. first, it is very cheap. compare with other ways, such as plane and bus, train is less expensive, people can save a lot of money.

　　Good afternoon ，ladies and gentlemen!

　　I’m very honored to stand here and give you a short speech! my topic is Opportunities and Challenges.

　　First, I would like to know, what does your destiny offer you? Happiness, wisdom, a strong body or something else. If I had asked this question to president Nixon, he would probably had said,”Our destiny offers not the cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity.”

　　Needless to say, one of the biggest opportunities given to China is the 20xx Olympic Games. Till now, how much changes have you seen? New roads, new subway lines, public-exercising equipments with beautiful colors, large blocks of grass fields, and also lots of modern gyms which are under construction.

　　Other than those, there are even more good effects brought to us by the Olympic Games that cannot be seen directly. For example, more and more people will get to know China. I’m sure the mysterious Chinese culture will attract them strongly. And the games will also do good to the economy and environment, for it is gaining the attention of foreign investors and the awareness of environmental protection is being strengthened. What is more, Olympic Games give a unique opportunity to inspire and educate a new generation of Chinese youth with the Olympic values and the Olympic spirit. Now that we have seen so many advances, could you even imagine us losing the holding rights?

　　I’ve already said a lot about the Olympics and China. But I think everyone should use some time to think of this question, ”Does the Olympic Games have any special meaning to you?”

　　For us, I mean the Chinese youth, 20xx Olympic Games is a tremendous gift. Because what we are waiting for is to do something significant as repaying the love given to us .The society is just like a ship, and in our dreams the captain is waving his hand and saying ”Hey! Come here and take the helm! ”How charming his voice is, but we have never heard of it in our true life. This morning, however, when we wake up, we will see the Olympic Games waving its hand. After chewing, most of us will have at least one plan about what to do for the Olympic Games. And mine is to be a “comforter” ----that is someone who will give comfort to others.

　　At the end of my speech, I hope all the preparation will go well, and everyone will show their ability to the world. Let us seize opportunities and give a big smile to challenges.

　　Good morning，ladies and gentlemen，today i am so happy to stand here to give you a speech.Or rather， a real story of mine.

　　Though with time going by，i can still remember what you once told me You should be a brave girl.Smiling，you looked into my eyes.Year in，year out，nearly most of my memories are fading little by little.But only this simple sentence remained，without being forgotten in my life.

　　Again and again，i can not stop myself from thinking about it.So ordinary，but so impressive，so moving，just like the brightest sunshine，it helps me go through the darkest night.I am such a sensitive girl in your heart.You said，my sorroful facial expression made feel so distersssed.However，there is one thing i never tell you，that is ，i am being a big girl gradually with your words and smiles.I never tell you about it，for i believe oneday，you can see the great changes of mine for yourself.That is what i want to do in return.As i know，that will be the best gift for you.

　　I suddenly think of a song named MY HEART WILL GO ON.There is a beautiful sentence going like this.You are safe in my heart.More than once，i was moved to tears by it.I know ，i am also safe in your heart.i have already forgotten when i told you i was going to leave for Australia this summer holiday.You just smiled as usual，gently speaking.Whatever you decide to do，i will be in favor of it，but， just onething，remember，when you fell lonely abroad，do not forget we are here ，praying for you.We are all around you，far across the distance and space between us.i closed my eyes，the flashback started.The memories we had together，once we played games on the palyground，we played jokes on each other，you always wrote a lot of sentences on my articles to encourage me.And the most unforgetable thing，you told me，you believed m i could be a big girl.Sooner or later.

　　At that specific moment，i suddenly understood the meaning of this sentence totally.So on that day，i smiled as you used to，looking at you.The last words i said were，keep walking in sunshine.

　　Yes，keep walking in sunshine.I said to you ，also to myself.I know i am not alone wiht your pany，and we can keep walking in sunshine till the last minute of our days.

　　I promise，i will be a big girl.

　　I promise，i will be a brave girl.

　　I promise，i will keep walking in sunshine.

　　That is my speech，thank you!

　　however, fraternal love is not stable. being away for too a long time,losing all common benefits, friends will become estranged. once their interesthas changed, they no longer understand each other, and even this would harmfriendship. at all times and in all countries, many close friends and battlecompanions who once worked together and fought together became enemies in theend. quiet a few of the emperors in ancient china even killed those who hadhelped them found their dynasties. the taiping heavenly kingdom would not havefailed if it hadn't been for the contending and massacring among the those whofirst rose in rebellion at the beginning of the uprising.

　　what else we need to pay attention to is that some friends, after beingaway from each other for too long a time, have lost so much of their originalcharacters that when meeting again, you will feel that you are still the same asyou were, while they are no longer themselves. they may have the same feelingabout you, so sometimes it's better not to meet each other again. as the chineseproverb goes “friendship can not last for three years and flowers can not stayin blossom for three months”.it's not so easy to maintain real friendship whichneeds mutual understanding, tolerance and sacrifice. any kinds of harshtreatment will damage friendship.

　　amatory love has been a mystery for ages. there's neither a criterion tojudge nor a common rule to follow. nobody can tell the exact reasons why loveemerges. it is not always because of beauty (the ugly doorkeeper quasimodo inthe hunchback of notre dame is loved by the beautiful gypsy girl esmeralda),norkindness (hitler also has his mistress),nor wisdom ( even the blockhead maysometimes marry a beautiful girl),nor strength (some love starts fromsympathy).true love is like getting an electric shock, shaking our soul. it is asweet dream, a kind of intoxication, indulgence, and endless passion.

　　it would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. this sweltering summer of the negro's legitimate discontent will not pauntil there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. and those who hope that the negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to busineas usual. and there will be neither rest nor tranquility in america until the negro is granted his citizenship rights. the whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.

　　but there is something that i must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: in the proceof gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterneand hatred. we must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. we must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.

　　the marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. and they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.

　　we cannot walk alone.

　　and as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.

　　we cannot turn back.

　　there are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "when will you be satisfied?" we can never be satisfied as long as the negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. we can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. we cannot be satisfied as long as a negro in mississippi cannot vote and a negro in new york believes he has nothing for which to vote. no, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousnelike a mighty stream.

　　"Michael Jackson was born in August, 1958. so was I. Michael Jackson grew up in the suburbs of the Midwest. So did I. Michael Jackson had eight brothers and sisters. So do I. When Michael Jackson was 6 he became a superstar and was perhaps the world"s most beloved child. When I was 6 my mother died. I think he got the shorter end of the stick.

　　"I never had a mother, but he never had a childhood. And when you never get to have something, you become obsessed by it. I spent my childhood searching for my mother figures; sometimes I was successful. But how do you recreate your childhood when you are under the magnifying glaof the world for your entire life?

　　"There is no question that Michael Jackson was one of the greatest talents the world has ever known. ... That when he sang a song at the ripe old age of 8, he could make you feel like an experienced adult was squeezing your heart with his words. ... That the way he moved had the elegance of Fred Astaire and packed the punch of Muhammad Ali. ... That his music had an extra layer of inexplicable magic that didn"t just make you want to dance but actually made you believe that you could fly, dare to dream, be anything that you wanted to be. Because that is what heroes do. And Michael Jackson was a hero.

　　"He performed in soccer stadiums around the world, he sold hundreds of millions of records, he dined with prime ministers and presidents. Girls fell in love with him, boys fell in love with him, everyone wanted to dance like him, he seemed otherworldly, but he was also a human being. Like most performers, he was shy and plagued with insecurities.

　　"I can"t say we were great friends, but in 1991 I decided I wanted to get to know him better. I asked him out to dinner: I said, "My treat, I"ll drive, just you and me." He agreed and showed up to my house without any bodyguards. We drove to the restaurant in my car. It was dark out, but he was still wearing sunglasses. I said, "Michael, I feel like I"m talking to a limousine, do you think you could take off those glasses so I could see your eyes?" He paused for a moment, then he tossed the glasses out the window, looked at me with a wink and a smile and said, "Can you see me now, is that better?"

　　"In that moment, I could see both his vulnerability and his charm. The rest of the dinner, I was hell-bent on getting him to eat French fries, drink wine, have dessert and say bad words, things he never seemed to allow himself to do. Later, we went back to my house to watch a movie and we sat on the couch like two kids, and somewhere in the middle of the film, his hand snuck over and held mine. It felt like he was looking for a friend more than a romance and I was happy to oblige him. And in that moment he didn"t feel like a superstar, he felt like a human being. We went out a few more times together and then for one reason or another we fell out of touch. Then, the witch hunt began and it seemed like one negative story after the other was coming out about Michael. I felt his pain. I know what it"s like to walk down the street and feel like the whole world has turned against you. I know what it"s like to feel helpleand unable to defend yourself because the roar of the lynch mob is so loud that you are convinced your voice can never be heard.
