關於環保英語演講比賽稿 篇1

Good morning, my honorable judges:

I feel so happy to have the chance to make a speech. The title of my speech is “Protect the Environment”. I hope you will like it.

Everybody knows waste paper and used coke cans are discarded everywhere. You might have seen plastic bags flying in the sky and getting caught in the trees when the wind blows or maybe you have seen old cans floating in the rivers. Our environment is the place which we live, but it is being ruined by us. There is a story about a house and trees. It is said that a man’s house was surrounded by a lot of trees. Though the wind was strong, that man could have a good rest under the trees. How comfortable the life was! One day, that man wanted to enlarge his house, so he cut down all the trees. Then the autumn came without the protection. The strong wind blew the roof of the house into the sky. The whole house was gone with the wind. What a pity! But that’s the price people have to pay for destroying in the ecology balance.

People shouldn’t be short-sighted. Protecting the environment is everyone’s task. As you know, there are four kinds of pollution. They are air pollution, water pollution, waste pollution and noise pollution. But what can we do to solve the pollution? I think, first, we can make cars that don’t pollute the environment. Second, we can try to use less water and make sure that we do not pollute the water. Third, we should not throw rubbish in the parks. We can pick up rubbish if we see it. Fourth, we can live far from the noise.

The air, water and the whole atmosphere directly influenced our lives, such as the air, people may cough and it will lead to cancer. So we must try our best to keep the world clean and tidy. You might ask yourself, “Have I ever picked up some rubbish and thrown it into a dustbin? Have I ever collected waste paper or bottles for recycling?” If your answers are “Yes”, it means that you have already done something useful to improve the environment.

In order to make the environment clean, let’s join our hands together to make the world better.

Thank you!

good morning! ladies and gentlemen,today i will make a speech here 。 my topic is the importance of environment。

so many people talk about protect environment but very few actually do。this is because they dont really understand the importance of the environment。next im going to tell a story。 it will tell you how important the environment is。

long long ago,there was a kind of animal called dinosaur。 they were the biggest animals on earth。they were also very strong。 but because of the environment,they were disappeared。

were humans stronger than the dinosaurs? the answer must be no。 a dinosaur can easily kill a dozen people。but as strong as they still could not withstand the threat environment。 do you think we can?the answer is certainly not。 so we knew the importance of the environment。

the earth gives us a good environment。 we must learn to cherish, cherish this opportunity。

so ,we must protect the environment。 as a student,we can also do a lot of helpful things。 for example,we can protect it by not throwing rubbish away,we can save water to make full use of it and so on。

What Is Real Beauty?

It is human nature that all of us should be fond of beauty. Everybody was born with a heart for beauty.

Today in China,with the rising of our living standard, people's requirement of beauty has been heightened accordingly. Some people spare no money or energy on beautiful clothes, fashionable hair styles,the decoration of their houses and even the improvement of their looks. But it seems to me,all these are more or less confined to the beauty in appearance,or rather,the outward beauty.

In my opinion,we shouldn't only pay attention to beautiful appearance and neglect the beautification of the mind and what we are after should be the perfect unity of the outward beauty and the inner beauty. As we all know,so far as objects and animals are concerned,there is only beautiful appearance to be mentioned, but to us humanbeings, although the outward beauty really matters, the inner beauty is much more important. This was confirmed by a famous Russian writer in words much like this: “A person is not lovely for being beautiful but beautiful for being lovely. ”

Here, I'd like to quote two typical instances and I'm sure, my dear friends,from them you'll find out what real beauty is.

Recently I learned from the radio an unpleasant incident about a well known singer. She is very charming with a sweet beautiful voice and very famous for singing the song.“Devotion of Love”。 Not long ago,she was invited to Zhejiang Province to give performance. The moment she was to appear on the stage,she suddenly asked for more reward. Worse still,after her request was satisfied, she didn't begin to sing at once. Instead,she took her time to count all the money piece by piece. Thus she kept the audience waiting for half an hour. So when she at last showed up and started to sing “Devotion of Love”,a man rose up from his seat and shouted at her,“You don't have any devotion of love. You are not qualified to sing this song ! ”Hearing this, the singer stopped singing and began to shout abuses with her finger pointed at the man. At this time the whole audience burst into an uproar.

How disappointed her keen listeners were when they learned this! It is the singer herself who spoiled her beautiful image in the eyes of others.

Knowing the Consequences of Choice

Over the past Spring Festival, I got involved in a family dispute. Right before I got home, four satellite channels of CCTV were added to the 14 channels we had already had. In prime time at night, they all had interesting shows. Therefore, the five of us-my parents, my sisters and I-had to argue over what to watch. Finally, we agreed that we should watch the "most interesting" programme... If we

could agree what that was.

However, all of us there remember that for a long time after we had TV, there were only one or two channels available. The increase in options reveals an important change in our life: the abundance of choice.

Fifteen years ago we all dressed in one style and in one colour. Today, we select from a wide variety of designs and shades.

Fifteen years ago, we read few newspapers. Today, we read English newspapers like the China Daily and the 21st Century, as well as various Chinese newspapers.

Fifteen years ago, English majors took only courses in language and literature. Today, we also study Western culture, journalism, business communications, international relations, and computer science.

The emergence of choices marks the beginning of a new era in China's history; an era of diversity, of material and cultural richness, and an era of the rebirth of the Chinese nation. We enjoy the abundance of choice. But this has not come easily.

About 150 years ago, China was forced to open up its door by Western canons and gunboats. It has been through the struggle and sacrifice of generations that we finally have gained the opportunity to choose for ourselves. The policy of reform and openness is the choice that has made all the difference.

Like others of my age, I'm too young to have experienced the time when the Chinese people had no right to choose. However, as the next century draws near, it is time to ask: What does choice really mean to us young people?

Is choice a game that relies on chance or luck? Is choice an empty promise that never materializes? Or is choice a puzzle so difficult that we have to avoid it?

First, I would like to say: To choose means to claim opportunities.

I am a third-year English major. An important choice for me, of course, is what to do upon graduation. I can go to graduate school, at home or abroad. I can go to work as a teacher, a translator, a journalist, an editor and a diplomat. Actually, the system of mutual selection has allowed me to approach almost every career opportunity in China.

Indeed, this is not going to be an easy choice. I would love to work in such big cities as Beijing or Shanghai or Shenzhen. I would also love to return to my hometown, which is intimate, though slightly lagging in development. I would love to stay in the coastal area where life is exciting and fast-paced. I would also love to put down roots in central and western China, which is underdeveloped, but holds great potential.

All of these sound good. But they are only possibilities. To those of us who are bewildered at the abundance of opportunities, I would like to say: To choose means to accept challenge. To us young people, challenge often emerges in the form of competition. In the next century, competition will not only come from other college graduates, but also from people of all ages and of all origins.

With increasing international exchanges, we have to face growing competition from the whole outside world. This is calling for a higher level of our personal development.

Fifteen years ago, the knowledge of a foreign language or of computer operation was considered merely an advantage. But today, with wider educational opportunities, this same knowledge has become essential to everyone.

Given this situation, even our smallest choices will require great wisdom and personal determination.

As we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also becomes more important.

As we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also becomes more important.

Nuclear power, for instance, may improve our quality of life. But it can also be used to damage the lives and possessions of millions.

Economic development has enriched our lives but brought with it serious harm to our air, water and health.

To those of us who are blind to the consequences of their choices, I would like to say, To choose means to take responsibility. When we are making choices for ourselves, we cannot casually say: "It's just my own business. " As policy makers of the next century, we cannot fail to see our responsibility to those who share the earth with us.

The traditional Chinese culture teaches us to study hard and work hard so as to honor our family. To me, however, this family is not just the five of us who quarreled over television programmes. Rather, it is the whole of the human family. As I am making my choices, I will not forget the smile of my teacher when I correctly spelled out the word "China" for the first time, I will not forget the happy faces of the boys and girls we helped to send back to school in the mountains of Jiangxi Province. I will not forget the tearful eyes of women and children in Bosnia, Chechnya and Somali, where millions are suffering from war, famine or poverty. All these people, known and unknown, make up our big human family. At different points, they came into my life and broaden my perspective. Now as I am to make choices for myself, it is time to make efforts to improve their lives, because a world will benefit us all only if every one in it can lead a peaceful and prosperous life.

選擇的重要性

去年春節期間,我陷入過一場家庭紛爭。在我回家之前,我們家的電視除了已有的14個頻道外又增加了四個衛星頻道。晚上的黃金時間,每個頻道的節目都很精彩.結果,我們一家五口(父母,兩個姐姐和我)為了選臺而爭執起來。最後,我們決定應當看“最有意思”的節目——如果我們在什麼是“最有意思”上可以認同的話。

不過我們全都清楚地記得,買了電視後的好長一段時間裡,只有一兩個頻道可供選擇。電視訊道的增多反映出我們生活中的一個重大變化:選擇餘地的擴大。

20xx年前,我們身著同樣的款式,單一的色調。而如今,紛繁的花色和眾多的式樣讓我們挑得眼花繚亂。

20xx年前,我們幾乎無報可讀。而如今,除了大大小小的中文報紙,我們還讀上了《中國日報》、《21世紀報》這樣的英文報紙。

20xx年前,英語專業的學生只能選語言與文學課程。而如今,我們還學習西方文化,新聞,商務,國際關係,甚至還有計算機課程。

選擇的湧現標誌著中國進入了一個嶄新的時代,一個充滿多樣化的時代,一個物質與精神都愈加豐富的時代,一箇中華民族獲得新生的時代。

我們為選擇之多而歡呼雀躍,同時也深深地感到這一切來之不易。

一個半世紀之前,在西方大炮、戰艦的威通下,中國被迫打開了國門。經過祖祖輩輩的抗爭與犧牲,我們才最終贏得了當家作主的機會。改革開放這個正確的抉擇使一切發生了翻天覆地的變化。

我和其他同齡人一樣,太年輕了、沒有經歷過中國人喪失選擇權的歲月。但是,隨著下個世紀的腳步越走越近,我們是該們心自間了:選擇,對於我們青年一代,到底意味著什麼?

選擇,是場靠僥倖來獲勝的遊戲嗎?是句不用兌現的空話嗎?抑或是種讓人知難而退的困境?

首先,我認為,選擇意味著抓住機遇。

我是英語專業三年級學生,我所面臨的一個重大選擇當然是畢業後的去向。我可以攻讀碩士學位,或在國內,或在國外。我可以走上工作崗位,做名教師,翻譯,記者,編輯或外交家.實際上,雙向選擇的體制在我面前鋪開了通向各行各業的大道。

說真的,這個選擇並不好做。我願意在像北京、上海、深圳這樣的大都市裡工作,我也盼著能回到雖不那麼發達卻使我倍感親切的故鄉。我希望可以留在生活節奏快,令人興奮的沿海地帶,我也願意紮根於廣炭的中西部地區,那裡雖然條件艱苦,卻有極大的發展潛力。

所有這一切聽上去令人振奮,但它們畢竟只是可能性。有些人面對五花八門的選擇挑得眼花繚亂,我要告訴他們:選擇就意味著接受挑戰。

對於我們青年一代,挑戰常以竟爭的形式出現。到下個世紀,競爭者將不僅只是其他大學畢業生,更有各行各業不同年齡層的人們。

隨著國際交流的不斷增多,我們得面對來自整個外部世界日益激烈的競爭,這就對我們個/、的發展提出了更高的要求。

20xx年前,懂門外語或會用計算機是個優越條件。但今天,隨著受教育面的拓寬,以上的知識也成了每個人必備的條件。

在這種形勢下,即便最細小的選擇也要求我們具有極大的智慧和自主精神。

當我們面對選擇不斷增強自己的主動性時,每一次選擇的結果也同樣變得愈加重要。

比方說,核能可以提高人民的生活水平,可它同樣也能毀滅千百萬人的生命財產。

經濟的發展使我們富裕起來,卻也給我們的空氣、水、健康帶來了嚴重危害。有些人對選擇的後果毫不在乎,我要對他們說:選擇還意味著承擔責任。我們替自己做選擇時,不能隨口一句“這不關別人的事”。作為下個世紀的決策者,我們必須承擔對和我們共同擁有這個地球的人們所負的責任。 傳統的中華文化教育我們,要勃奮學習,努力工作,以榮耀家門。然而我認為,這個家門並不只指諸如我的那個爭看電視的五口小家。更確切地說,它指的是整個人類這個大家庭。當我為自己的未來做出選擇時,我不會忘記自己第一次正確讀出“China"這個單詞時老師臉上的笑容。我也不會忘記在我們的幫助下重返校園的江西山區的孩子們興奮的臉龐。我更不會忘記飽受戰火、饑荒、貧困蹂蹦的波斯尼亞、車臣、索馬利亞,不會忘記那裡成千上萬的婦女兒童淚水模糊的雙眼。

所有這些我認識或不認識的人們組成了人類這個大家庭。他們從不同的時空中走進了我的生活,開拓了我的視野。現在,我將為自己做出抉擇,該是為使他們的生活變得美好而奮鬥的時候了。因為只有當每個人都過上和平、富足的生活,世界才能成為大家的樂園.

Good morning everyone:

It's a great honor for me to stand here to deliver a speech to you. Then today I want to talk something about dreams and reality.

As the famous Russian litterateur Lev Tolstoy said, “Ideal is the beacon. Without ideal, there is no secure direction; without a direction, there is no life.” So there’s no doubt that everyone needs his or her own ideal. Have you ever thought that what is practical and sensible will connect with our most treasured dreams? Maybe, to somebody, reality has little relation to ideal. To others nothing can be done without the sense of reality. So make our dreams a part of our reality. And make our reality a part of our dreams. There is no reason why our dreams must oppose our reality. Improve our dreams and our reality by bringing them together.

As a student, establishing a dream is one of the most important things we have to do everyone must see the reality clearly at first. Your family condition, your personal ability, your social intercourse (交往、交流), your subject and the job you want to do, these things show you the reality and lead you to establish a dream.

Further more, difficult or otherwise, we should put the power of reality into our dreams. Last but not least remember to work hard at the task of chasing 追逐our dreams. Do believe that we can achieve our ideal step by step by the passage of time!

In the end, I want to share with you a poetry named " I think I can".

Maybe you can not understand the meaning of the poetry , But do not be worried ,Let me tell you the meaning.

Thank you for your listening!

Everyone tries to achieve success in his/her career. But some finally attain their aims while others fail. Why? Some continue their cause to the end through long period of hard struggles, but others are easily disappointed and stop halfway.

Strong will, perseverance and diligence are the three essentials of success. A man of strong will and perseverance always has an inflexible spirit. He sticks to his cause no matter how tough it might be. Life is short and we have too much to do. Without diligence no one can achieve anything.

I believe that where there is a will there is a way, and that success belongs to those who can make constant efforts.

Don't be afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.

Money is regarded by some people as the most important thing in life. It is even regarded as the symbol of wealth and social position. For example, with plenty of money a man can do whatever he wants to. He can afford expensive cars and luxurious houses, and he can travel around the world and visit as many interesting places as he wants to. In their eyes, money is everything in life.

In my opinion, money can both benefit people and do harm to them. On the one hand, we can't deny that money is useful. We need money to buy food, buy a house or pay our education cost. Money can make us live more comfortably. For example, with more money, we can help others and take part in more social activities and receive a good education, thus increasing our knowledge and developing our skills. On the other hand, some people try to get money by dishonest means, for example, they often cheat and gamble, even rob and kill people. Sooner or later, they will be punished by the law. Money can bring them nothing but misery.

From In addition,money can not buy everything, For instance, no matter how much money one hast he can not buy good health, happiness or friendship, Although money is useful in many ways,there are still a lot of things that money can't buy in the world. In addition, money can also do harm to us. If a person really thinks of money as everything and pays his attention only to money, he will lose his friends, or even the care and warmth from his family. Thus, it brings him only loneliness.

Everyone has a dream. Now I'll talk about my dream i What is my dream? I often ask myself. When I was a little boy, I wanted to be a soldier with a gun so that I could defend our motherland.

Now I am a young boy with a new dream——to be a doctor. I want to be a famous doctor, helping the sick and saving their lives. Why has my dream changed? Well, at the age of 11 I was ill, badly ill. I was told that I had cancer. I had to leave both my school and my friends and go to the hospital. Every day I suf-fered the troubles caused by this illness.

I also saw some people who were suffering and dying of ill-nesses. I made up my mind to become a doctor, so that I can help the sick people and cure them of their diseases. China is a develop-ing country. She needs good medicine and good doctors, especially in the countryside and lonely villages.

I want to try my best to help the poor sick people of our country. I want to let them have an opportunity to receive excel-lent treatments for their illnesses without having to pay much or any money.

I'll do every bit to cure the incurable. I hope to see a world where there is no cancer, no Aids, no fatal diseases. I'm confident that through the joint efforts of you and me, man will put an end to his bodily sufferings and this dream of mine will one day be brought into reality.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen!

I am glad to be here to share my opinions with all of you. My topic today is about Internet.

With the development of technology, more and more people are fond of using Internet. It is particularly popular among young people. Just like the coin has two sides, internet also has its own advantages and disadvantages.

First of all, the Internet has brought people great convenience in getting information, entertainment and contact with each other. As for our students, it is a useful tool when we meet problems. When we are tired, a piece of light music will help us relax. If we have free time, we can enjoy movies or interesting cartoons. What’s more, we can also watch live programs on the internet or see it later if we are not available at that time.

But there is also bad influence. Some of the young teenagers are addicted to computer games, and some even play games all night. Because of lacking in sleep, those students can not focus on in the class . As a result, they may fail in the exam. When they realize it is wrong to spend too much time playing games, it’s already too late.

I have remembered such a piece of news . An excellent student flunked (考試不及格) because he could not concentrate on his study for being too indulged in computer games. He spent nearly all the money on games, which was earned by his father's selling blood. When his father knelt down to beg him to return to school, he was too numb to show any regret.

The most serious harm of computer games come from their contents, which affects teenagers ' mental health. Many games involve violence, such as fighting and killing. When they enjoy the pleasure of success, a violent turn of mind is developed and rooted in them, which may induce future violent behaviour in their life.

So when computers' entertaining function is highly spoken of ,such a problem does deserve our serious concern.

In addition, long time's working before computer also does harm to health. The radiation from the computer can arose many uncomfortable feelings., like a headache, poor eyesight.

At last, people who are fond of making friends on line should also be careful. Many convicts use Internet as a way to cheat. Although it has many disadvantages , Internet has become an indispensable part of people's life in recent years. In my point of view, it’s wrong to blame Internet itself, it’s all depend on the way we use it. If we use it in a right way, it can be one of the best friends in our life.

That 's all , thank you !

the vast, the unbounded prospect lies before us.

death. old age. are words without a meaning. that paby us like the idea air which we regard not. others may have undergone, or may still be liable to them-we "bear a charmed life“, which laughs to scorn all such sickly fancies. as in setting out on delightful journey, we strain our eager gaze forward-

and see no end to the landscape, new objects presenting themselves as we advance; so, in the commencement of life, we set no bounds to our inclinations. nor to the unrestricted opportunities of gratifying them. we have as yet found no obstacle, no disposition to flag; and it seems that we can go on so forever. we look round in a new world, full of life, and motion, and ceaseleprogress; and feel in ourselves all the vigor and spirit to keep pace with it, and do not foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural course of things, decline into old age, and drop into the grave. it is the simplicity, and as it were abstractedneof our feelings in youth, that (so to speak) identifies us with nature, and (our experience being slight and our passions strong) deludes us into a belief of being immortal like it. our short-lives connection with existence we fondly flatter ourselves, is an indissoluble and lasting union-a honeymoon that knows neither coldness, jar, nor separation. as infants smile and sleep, we are rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies, and lulled into security by the roar of the universe around us0we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the more-objects prearound us, filling the mind with their magnitude and with the strong of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.
