Wide sea diving, the days of the birds to fly. Everyone carries a dream of their own.

經典的英語演講(通用12篇)

However, what is the dream? What is dream? Dream is looking forward to, and the dream is strong - is fleeting dream you insist on the ideal as their courage and perseverance, are you responsible for their own highest level. But ask yourself, how many of us to accomplish his original dream in mind?

Our dream is a simple belief, is a future and life of their own responsibility. Perhaps, is the Youth

grand ambitions; perhaps, is the adolescent confusion and impulsive; maybe just a plain desire, desire applause, eager for success. Countless "may," innumerable "hope" because of our youthful full of miracles, large and small dreams in our hearts, in every corner of life filled with fragrance.

For example, my wish is to be a famous writer grew up, because I really love writing, so from now on, I should read more, more accumulate knowledge, and strive to improve writing level. No pains, no gains, because my efforts, so my article was punished in many newspapers , and in many composition contest, I see the success I'm happy, so, struggle is the bridge to the ideal.

Yes, my dream. to give my famliy a warm, give my friend happy. Yes, my dream. The podium from the first station began his love this place, started from the first published an article looking forward to the world of words, decided to stay here from the beginning, stick to bottom of my heart desire.

Years in our faces no matter how many additional traces, no matter how much things to us across the chest wounds, as long as we have the right to breathe, to have a passion for remodeling dreams! Oxygen to survive as long as we have to have the courage to create a passion!

Choose to continue, select the value, select the achievements of the passion of life, the brave hearts of the initial dream of success!

helping every american with autism achieve their full potential is one of this administration’s top priorities. at the u.s. department of health and human services, we continue to strive to meet the complex needs of all people with autism spectrum disorders (asd) and their families. while there is no cure, early intervention is critical and can greatly improve a child’s development.

perhaps the biggest step we’ve taken to support those affected by autism and their families happened over a year ago, with the signing of the affordable care act. now, new insurance plans are required to cover autism screening and developmental assessments for children at no cost to parents. insurers will also no longer be allowed to deny children coverage for a pre-existing condition such as asd or to set arbitrary lifetime or annual limits on benefits.

also, thanks to the new law, young adults are allowed to stay on their family health insurance until they turn 26. for a young adult with autism spectrum disorder and their family, that means peace of mind. it means more flexibility, more options, and more opportunity to reach their full potential.

ultimately, there is more support for americans with autism than ever before. this means more promise of new breakthroughs that will help us understand autism even better. but in order to continue meeting the needs of people with autism, the combating autism act must be fully reauthorized. we still have a long way to go. working collaboratively with important partners, the affordable care act and the combating autism act will allow us to continue important research and develop and refine vital treatments.

there are still many unknowns. however, one thing is certain. we will continue to work harder than ever to find solutions and provide support to individuals with asd and their families. together, we can help reduce disparities and allow everyone to actualize their greatest potential.

kathleen sebelius is secretary of health and human services.

經典的英語演講 篇3

i come to this magnificent house of worship tonight because my conscience leaves me no other choice. i join you in this meeting because i am in deepest agreement with the aims and work of the organization which has brought us together: clergy and laymen concerned about vietnam. the recent statements of your executive committee are the sentiments of my own heart, and i found myself in full accord when i read its opening lines: "a time comes when silence is betrayal." and that time has come for us in relation to vietnam.

the truth of these words is beyond doubt, but the mission to which they call us is a most difficult one. even when pressed by the demands of inner truth, men do not easily assume the task of opposing their government's policy, especially in time of war. nor does the human spirit move without great difficulty against all the apathy of conformist thought within one's own bosom and in the surrounding world. moreover, when the issues at hand seem as perplexed as they often do in the case of this dreadful conflict, we are always on the verge of being mesmerized by uncertainty; but we must move on.

and some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. we must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak. and we must rejoice as well, for surely this is the first time in our nation's history that a significant number of its religious leaders have chosen to move beyond the prophesying of smooth patriotism to the high grounds of a firm dissent based upon the mandates of conscience and the reading of history. perhaps a new spirit is rising among us. if it is, let us trace its movements and pray that our own inner being may be sensitive to its guidance, for we are deeply in need of a new way beyond the darkness that seems so close around us.

over the past two years, as i have moved to break the betrayal of my own silences and to speak from the burnings of my own heart, as i have called for radical departures from the destruction of vietnam, many persons have questioned me about the wisdom of my path. at the heart of their concerns this query has often loomed large and loud: "why are you speaking about the war, dr. king?" "why are you joining the voices of dissent?" "peace and civil rights don't mix," they say. "aren't you hurting the cause of your people," they ask? and when i hear them, though i often understand the source of their concern, i am nevertheless greatly saddened, for such questions mean that the inquirers have not really known me, my commitment or my calling. indeed, their questions suggest that they do not know the world in which they live.

in the light of such tragic misunderstanding, i deem it of signal importance to try to state clearly, and i trust concisely, why i believe that the path from dexter avenue baptist church -- the church in montgomery, alabama, where i began my pastorate -- leads clearly to this sanctuary tonight.

Good afternoon ,ladies and gentlemen!

I’m very honored to stand here and give you a short speech! To begin with ,I want to ask a question everybody dream a good dream last night? Actually ,today I want to talk about dream with you. Of course, What I want to talk is not a dream you have last night,but a dream—— about life.

Everyone has dreams about life, different dreams at different life stage,and we need dreams to support us. Dreams are like the stars we never reach in the sky,but like most mariners(水手),we can chart our course by them. With the dream,we have a direction,with a direction, we were no longer the dream, there is hope,With hope, we have the strength to fight.

I have a dream: To be a doctor.,because doctor may relieve the pain of patients. May let the human change the health. At the same time, I believed that, those who help others may be able to obtain joyfully. Therefore, I hoped in the near future ,I might be a doctor.

But I know,life is tough,and there are always ups and downs, maybe we fail in the way to our aims,and we may feel depressed ,whenever at this time, the dream in our heart can always comfort us, encourage us ,and support us to move ahead .

Young!Fortunately, I am young now. Just due to it, I know that nothing is impossible.I firmly believe that nothing can stand in my way. If I can't realize my dream,it result from that I haven't work harder enough and I won't find other excuses. If no people believe you, you can make it to prove that you are right. If you think the god haven't blessed you and there is no truth here, you can become the god and create the truth.

"My breath swallows the sky and make the yellow river overflow, my sword is famous in Kyushu and it can collapse the five sacred mountains." At some time in the past I also had am bitious words and I had some achievements. Each achievement results from my hard work. I always believe that "If you want to have more achievements than others, you must work harder." In some extent, the dream is the hope. If you can insist on doing something, the victory will come.

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today. Let's--- move ----out!

Thank you for your listening!

經典的英語演講 篇5

Friendship

友誼

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.

我們每個人,不論富裕還是貧窮,至少應該有一個或兩個好朋友。我的朋友會聽我說,如果我想說話,要擦去我的眼睛當我哭泣,會照顧我在我生病時,我的朋友將與我一起肩並肩在這人生旅程。

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.

友誼是一種財寶在我們的生活。它實際上是像一瓶酒,越久保留,這將是更香甜。它就像一杯茶。當我們口渴時,這將是對我們最好的選擇,但當我們有足夠的時間去玩得很開心的,它也是最芬芳的飲料。

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.

我們所有的人都要花點時間來個人的生活。我們必須找到機會來表達我們的感情和愛。當住在我們的朋友,我們可以放鬆自己完全。我們可以做任何我們想要的,我們能一起大聲笑,一起交談,甚至哭泣下。我應該說,是我們最好的朋友一起是最精彩的時刻,我們的生活。

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.

正如我們所知道的,我們會感到寂寞,如果我們還沒有一個朋友。但這並不意味著我們可以依靠我們的朋友。有個著名的格言說:“一個朋友就像一個棉花棉絲被子,但真正的東西,是使你暖和是你自己的溫度。“這是真的。我們必須努力同我們的朋友,互相激勵,互相幫助。當我們能收到更多的愛與友誼,我們應該償還高達就可以了。

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

最後,讓我們一起祈禱了,有一天,我們都能找到我們想找的人,就可以享受一段美好友誼的真正左右我們的生活了。讓我們一起祈禱友誼之花卻成為我們的朋友,我們將永遠綻放鮮豔的在我們的心中

After being cheated of the meat by the fox, the crow stood on the branchand scolded for three days and three nights.

Since then, crows are very wary of foxes, afraid of being cheatedagain.

One day, the crow found a piece of meat. It took the meat in its mouth andstopped on the branch to rest.

He was very alert. He looked left and right for fear that the meat would becheated by the sly fox again.

At this time, the fox is humming a little song in the walk, smelling thesmell of meat, followed the fragrance.

After a while, he came to the tree where the crow stopped.

When the fox saw that it was a crow, he was very happy. He thought tohimself: This crow is very stupid. Last time he said that his singing was good,he cheated the meat away.

It looks like another piece of meat is coming this time.

Seeing that it was a fox, the crow immediately hung the meat on the branchand asked warily, "brother fox, I havent seen you for a long time. What are youdoing this time?"

The fox said calmly, "its nothing more than to admit the mistake with thebrother crow."

The crow said angrily, "brother fox, dont be hurt!"

The fox pretended to be a little sad and said, "brother crow, last time Imsorry for you. I lied to you because I was wrong. I deserve to die! This time,you can do whatever you want to do to me!"

The crow said, "then you will return the meat you cheated me lasttime."

When the fox heard this, he was very angry and forced to bear the anger inhis heart and said: "brother crow, I have eaten the meat last time.

I know a place where there is a lot of meat. Its not a long way. I have nostrength. You give me your piece of meat to eat. When I have strength, I willtake two back to you. "

The crow listened happily and said, "well, Ill give you the meat." Then hetook the meat off the branch and gave it to the fox.

The fox ate the meat and said to the crow, "wait, Ill get the meat foryou." With that, the fox left in a hurry.

After a long time, the crow didnt see the fox come back, just suddenlyrealized that he had been cheated again.

Although winter means cold weather, I love it all the same. I think winteris a beautiful season, especially when it snows. Snowflakes fall down fall on branches of trees, on roofs of houses and on wheat fields. Soon thewhole earth will be dressed in white. Everything is shining in the sun. Everytime it snows, I will remember an old saying, "Winter has come, can spring befar away?"

I love English. English language is now used everywhere in the world. It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade. Learning English makes me confident and brings me GREat pleasure.

When I was seven, my mother sent me to an English school. At there, I played games and sang English songs with other children . Then I discovered the beauty of the language, and began my colorful dream in the English world.

Everyday, I read English following the tapes. Sometimes, I watch English cartoons.

On the weekend, I often go to the English corner. By talking with different people there, I have made more and more friends as well as improved my oral English.

I hope I can travel around the world someday. I want to go to America to visit Washington Monument, because the president Washington is my idol. Of course, I want to go to London too, because England is where English language developed. If I can ride my bike in Cambridge university, I will be very happy.

I hope I can speak English with everyone in the world. I'll introduce China to them, such as the GREat Wall, the Forbidden City and Anshan.

I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well.

If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So I believe as I love English everyday , it will love me too.

經典的英語演講 篇12

In the summer recess between freshman and sophomore years in college, I wasinvited to be an instructor at a high school leadership camp hosted by a collegein Michigan. I was already highly involved in most campus activities, and Ijumped at the opportunity.

About an hour into the first day of camp, amid the frenzy of icebreakersand forced interactions, I first noticed the boy under the tree. He was smalland skinny, and his obvious discomfort and shyness made him appear frail andfragile. Only 50 feet away, 200 eager campers were bumping bodies, playing,joking and meeting each other, but the boy under the tree seemed to want to beanywhere other than where he was. The desperate loneliness he radiated almoststopped me from approaching him, but I remembered the instructions from thesenior staff to stay alert for campers who might feel left out.

As I walked toward him I said, “Hi, my name is Kevin and I’m one of thecounselors. It’s nice to meet you. How are you?”

In a shaky, sheepish voice he reluctantly answered, “Okay, I guess.”

I calmly asked him if he wanted to join the activities and meet some newpeople. He quietly replied, “No, this is not really my thing.”

I could sense that he was in a new world, that this whole experience wasforeign to him. But I somehow knew it wouldn’t be right to push him, either. Hedidn’t need a pep talk, he needed a friend. After several silent moments, myfirst interaction with the boy under the tree was over.

At lunch the next day, I found myself leading camp songs at the top of mylungs for 200 of my new friends. The campers were eagerly participated. My gazewandered over the mass of noise and movement and was caught by the image of theboy from under the tree, sitting alone, staring out the window. I nearly forgotthe words to the song I was supposed to be leading. At my first opportunity, Itried again, with the same questions as before: “How are you doing? Are youokay?”

To which he again replied, “Yeah, I’m all right. I just don’t really getinto this stuff. ”

As I left the cafeteria, I too realized this was going to take more timeand effort than I had thought — if it was even possible to get through to him atall.

That evening at our nightly staff meeting, I made my concerns about himknown. I explained to my fellow staff members my impression of him and askedthem to pay special attention and spend time with him when they could.

The days I spend at camp each year fly by faster than any others I haveknown. Thus, before I knew it, mid-week had dissolved into the final night ofcamp and I was chaperoning the “last dance”. The students were doing all theycould to savor every last moment with their new “best friends” — friends theywould probably never see again.

As I watched the campers share their parting moments, I suddenly saw whatwould be one of the most vivid memories of my life. The boy from under the tree,who stared blankly out the kitchen window, was now a shirtless dancing owned the dance floor as he and two girls proceeded to cut up a rug. Iwatched as he shared meaningful, intimate time with people at whom he couldn’teven look just days earlier. I couldn’t believe it was him. In October of mysophomore year, a late-night phone call pulled me away from my chemistry book. Asoft-spoken, unfamiliar voice asked politely, “Is Kevin there?”

“You’re talking to him. Who’s this?”

“This is Tom Johnson’s mom. Do you remember Tommy from leadership camp?”

The boy under the tree. How could I not remember? “Yes, I do”, I said.“He’s a very nice young man. How is he?”

An abnormally long pause followed, then Mrs. Johnson said, “My Tommy waswalking home from school this week when he was hit by a car and killed.”Shocked, I offered my condolences.

“I just wanted to call you”, she said, “because Tommy mentioned you so manytimes. I wanted you to know that he went back to school this fall withconfidence. He made new friends. His grades went up. And he even went out on afew dates. I just wanted to thank you for making a difference for Tom. The lastfew months were the best few months of his life.”

In that instant, I realized how easy it is to give a bit of yourself everyday. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I tellthis story as often as I can, and when I do, I urge others to look out for theirown “boy under the tree.”

在大一到大二之間的那個暑假,密歇根的一所大學主辦一次中學學生幹部夏令營,邀我擔任輔導員。對於校園的多數活動,我都持贊同態度並積極參與,那次我同樣欣然接受了。

頭一天活動進行大約一個鐘頭,我注意到,開始活躍的營員們興致濃厚,不太自然地互動起來,而樹下卻有一個孤零零的男孩。他身材矮小,瘦弱不堪,那明顯的不安和羞怯使他顯得不堪一擊。在只有五十英尺遠的地方,二百名充滿激情的營員正在玩耍、開玩笑並互作介紹,而樹下的男孩似乎除了想呆在原地,不想去任何地方。他流露出的極度孤獨令我幾乎難以靠近,但我沒忘記資深輔導員們的提示:對可能感覺受到冷落的營員要保持警惕。

我走向那個男孩,對他說:“嗨!我叫凱文,是你們的輔導員。很高興認識你,你好嗎?”

帶著顫抖的怯生生的聲音,他勉強答道:“我想——還好吧。”

我平靜地問他想不想投入到那些活動從而結識一些人,他輕聲回答:“不,那不關我的事。”

我能感覺到他在面對一個新的環境,這種體驗對他來說是全然陌生的。也不知為什麼,我覺得強迫他加入也不妥當。他不需要鼓勵性的講,他需要的是朋友。幾次沉默之後,我和樹下男孩的接觸就此結束。

第二天吃午飯的時候,我扯開嗓門,領著二百名剛認識的新朋友唱起了營歌。營員們都熱情參與,我的目光遊移於這群人,忽然那個“樹下男孩”的樣子吸引了我的注意:他孤零零地坐著,眼瞅著窗外。我幾乎忘記了領唱的歌詞。只要一有機會,我就會照舊用那些話問他:“你怎麼樣?你好嗎?”

他的回答依然是:“嗯,我很好。我真地不想參與那種事兒。”

我離開自助餐廳的時候充分認識到,扭轉這種狀況所需的時間和所做的努力要比我想像的要多——即便是在能讓他徹底“迷途知返”的情況下。

在當晚的全體工作人員會議上,我告訴了他們我對他的擔憂。我向同事們說明他給我留下的印象,請求他們對他給以特別的關注,並儘可能花時間和他在一起。

每年我在營地度過的日子總是一晃而過,感覺比其它時間過得快。這次同樣如此。我還沒明白過來,星期三已成過去,露營的最後一晚來到了。我伴隨營員們跳起“最後的舞蹈”。學生們都在竭力品味跟新“摯友”在一起的最後每一刻——他們或許以後再也見不到面了。

營員們共度這難忘的分別時刻,這時我突然目睹了我一生都記憶最清晰的一幕:那個曾透過廚房窗戶茫然盯著外面的樹下男孩,此時卻成了不穿襯衫的跳舞奇才。他和兩個女孩跳著搖擺舞,在舞池裡到處舞動。我注視著他跟大家共享這親密無間又意義深長的時刻,而僅僅幾天前他卻對他們連瞧也不瞧一眼。判若兩人,讓我無法相信。

我大二那年的十月,深夜的一個電話讓我放下化學課本,一個柔和卻生疏的聲音彬彬有禮地問道:

“凱文在嗎?”

“我就是,您是哪位?”

“我是湯姆?約翰遜的母親,您還記得那個參加夏令營的湯米嗎?”

樹下的那個男孩,我怎麼會不記得呢?

“我記得。”我說,“他是個很不錯的小夥子,他現在情況怎麼樣?”

長長的反常沉默過後,約翰遜夫人又說道:“湯米這個星期從學校回家的時候,一輛汽車撞了他使他辭別人世。”我感到震驚,向她表示我的哀悼。

“我給您打電話,”她說,“只因為湯米好多次說起過您。我想讓您知道,他今年秋季返校時有了自信心,交了新朋友,學習成績提高了,甚至還出去約會過幾次。我只想表達我的感激之情,因為是您改變了他。最後的這幾個月是他度過的生命中最美好的時光。”

在那一刻,我意識到,你每天奉獻出一點點還是容易得很,你可能永遠都不知道你的舉動對他人的影響有多大。我常常講起這個故事,每當講起的時候,我總是力勸別人也注意一下他們自己的“樹下男孩”。
