Independence Day 20xx Speech
Good morning India!
Today on 15th August 20xx India is celebrating its 67th Independence Day, and we Indians are proud to say we have owned our freedom 67 years old back. As we gather here today I take the opportunity to congratulate every student and teacher of this School/college a Happy Independence Day! I also take the opportunity of welcoming you our chief guest for today!
We have assembled here to celebrate our 67th Independence Day. As a citizen of India, I am so proud to talk to you about my mother India. On the night of August 14, 1947, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru rose to make a maiden speech in New Delhi, “When the world sleeps, India will wake to life and freedom.” Yes, India became free from the bondage of British rule. Now, India is the largest democratic country in the world. The country’s strength is to find, “Unity in diversity”. But, there are stray incidents that test her secularism but the people of India are ready to sacrifice anything for the cause of unity. Today we remember the great leaders who gave their lives for the nation’s freedom and prosperity. Dr. dkar gave the longest written constitution to us. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru worked for an industrialized India. Gandhi Ji taught us Ahimsa and Non-violence. Subash Chandra Bose inducted courage in us. Swami Vivekanand gave us spiritual power. Yes, with these contributions; India will be the super power in the coming years. Our former President Abdul Kalam called the children of India to dream to build a strong Nation with aim and perseverance. Indeed! This is not a word of a single man. It is word of one billionsouls.
Jai Hind!
What life is about
As we all know, the most important thing in life is our attitude towards it, tons of men have tried different ways of treating life, and some succeeded, some failed, and here are some of the tips they left us.
Life isn’t about keeping score. Life isn’t about your shoes or your hair or the color of your skin. In fact it’s not about if you have lots of friends or if you are alone, and it’s not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isn’t about that.
But life is about whom you love and who you hurt. It’s about how you feel about yourself. It’s about trust, happiness and compassion. It’s about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance and building confidence. It’s about what you say and what you mean. It’s about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. And we should always remember to be ourselves. Other might have things that we desire but being what we really are is the only trail leading to the true colors of life. Most of all, it’s about choosing to use your life to touch someone else’s in a way that could have never been achieved otherwise.
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers; we buy more but enjoy them less. We’ve learnt how to make a living but not a life, we’ve added years to life, but not life to years. And it is time for us to choose whether to make a difference in our life.
And these choices are what life is about.
生活的真諦
眾所周知，關於生活最重要的我們對待生活的態度，不同的人以不同的方式對待生活，一些人成功了，一些人失敗了。這裏有一些關於生活的帖士給我們大家。
生活不是為了保持高分，生活也不僅僅是你的鞋子、你的髮型和你的膚色。實際上，生活也不只是你擁有多少朋友，或者你是否孤獨;生活也不僅僅意味着你被別人接受與否。生活並不僅僅是這些。
但是，生活是關於你所愛的和你所傷害的那些人。生活就是你對自己的所有感覺。它是關於信任、幸福和包容。它是你對朋友的支持和如何用愛來融化內心的憎恨。生活就是遠離嫉妒、克服無知和建立信心。生活是關於你的言行和思想。
生活就是關注人的自身，而不是關注別人的擁有。而且我們必須記住保持我們的本色。雖然，生活的另一面令我們嚮往，但保持我們的本色是通往生活真諦的必由之路。總之，生活就是用你整個的生命去觸摸其他人從未企及的選擇。 在生活的長河中也常常令我們困惑和矛盾，我們擁有越來越高大的建築，但我們也越來越缺乏耐心;我們購買的物質越來越多，但我們從中得到的快樂越來越少。我們學習如何活着但那卻不是生活;人類的壽命越來越長，但有意義的生活並因此而延長。因此，現在正是我們選擇使我們的人生變得不同凡響的時候了。國中英語演講稿這些選擇就是生活的真諦。
Hello:
everyone!Now I want to talk about a beatiful world!
When I was young,I always dreamed that I lived in a beautiful country. There were many flowers and trees around our counld hear the birds singing and see the children dancing. The streets were clear and the the air was very fresh! How nice it was!But that only was a dream of mine!How I wish that it would be come true! So I think we should do something to protect our environment. Everyone should make a contribution to protect the environment.
Taking care of our environment is very ever you live,you can do something around your neighbourhood.
Have you ever thrown any litter onto the ground?Have you ever drawn pictures on public walls?Have you ever spat in a public place?Have you ever cut down trees?If your answers are "No",it means that you have already helped protect our environment.
It is our duty to keep our envionment 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?Have I ever planted any trees or flowers in or near my neighbourhood?"If your answers are"Yes",it means that you have already done something useful to improve the environment.
Now I want to say :Let's do our best to make our world more beautiful!
Almost all of us heard the story “Here Comes the Wolf” when we were little kids. What we can learn from the story is that we must be honest. However, there’re lots of phenomena of dishonesty nowadays。
Being dishonest does great harm not only to other people but also to yourself. Take the case of fake milk powder for example. After drinking this kind of milk, the babies had big heads while their legs and arms were still thin, which badly affected their health. To our great relief, the producers got accused and punished for all the serious consequences in the end。
Having the reputation of being honest and reliable will make other people trust you, which will provide you many benefits and give you opportunities that others may not get. Being honest, you will find it easier to cooperate with others and people will be friendly to you and support you. In a sense, if life is a long journey, honesty will be the backpack that should be taken along all the way. Let’s pick up our “backpack”—honesty, and start the wonderful journey!
A Brother Like That A Brother Like That A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. "Is this your car, Mister?"
he said. Paul nodded. "My brother gave it to me for Christmas."
The boy was astounded. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing? Boy, I wish . . ."
He hesitated. Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels. "I wish,"
the boy went on, "That I could be a brother like that."
Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, "Would you like to take a ride in my car?"
"Oh yes, Id love that."
After a short ride, the boy turned with his eyes aglow, said, "Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?"
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?"
the boy asked. He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sathim down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car. "There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day Im gonna give you one just like it . . . then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that Ive been trying to tell you about."
Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride. That Christmas Eve, Paul learned what Jesus meant when he said: "It is more blessed to give . . . "

哥哥的心願 聖誕節時，保羅的哥哥送他一輛新車。聖誕節當天，保羅離開辦公室時，一個男孩繞着那輛閃 閃發亮的新車，十分讚歎地問：
"先生，這是你的車?"
保羅點點頭："這是我哥哥送給我的聖誕節禮物。"男孩滿臉驚訝，支支吾吾地説："你是説這 是你哥送的禮物，沒花你一分錢?天哪，我真希望也能……"
保羅當然知道男孩他真想希望什麼。他希望能有一個象那樣的哥哥。但是小男孩接下來説的話 卻完全出乎了保羅的意料。
"我希望自己能成為送車給弟弟的哥哥。"男孩繼續説。
保羅驚愕地看着那男孩，衝口而出地説："你要不要坐我的車去兜風?"
"哦，當然好了，我太想坐了!"
車開了一小段路後，那孩子轉過頭來，眼睛閃閃發亮，對我説："先生，你能不能把車子開到 我家門前?"
保羅微笑，他知道孩子想幹什麼。那男孩必定是要向鄰居炫耀，讓大家知道他坐了一部大轎車 回家。但是這次保羅又猜錯了。"你能不能把車子停在那兩個台階前?"男孩要求道。
男孩跑上了階梯，過了一會兒保羅聽到他回來了，但動作似乎有些緩慢。原來把他跛腳的弟弟 帶出來了，將他安置在第一個台階上，緊緊地抱着他，指着那輛新車。
只聽那男孩告訴弟弟："你看，這就是我剛才在樓上對你説的那輛新車。這是保羅他哥哥送給 他的哦!將來我也會送給你一輛像這樣的車，到那時候你就能自己去看那些在聖誕節時，掛窗 口上的漂亮飾品了，就象我告訴過你的那樣。"
保羅走下車子，把跛腳男孩抱到車子的前座。興奮得滿眼放光的哥哥也爬上車子，坐在弟弟的 身旁。就這樣他們三人開始一次令人難忘的假日兜風。
那個聖誕夜，保羅才真正體會主耶穌所説的"施比受更有福"的道理。

Youth
Youth is a lively topic, youth is a mature turning.
We have been or are embrace the youth, we will lose our youth. Youth islike a gust of wind blowing, leaving only the dusty back. I want to stay young,however, time is merciless. I do think about the chastity words to record theregretless youth. Some people say that youth is a scrap of paper, of no y attempt nothing and accomplish nothing, only know to eat, drink, play,music, do not know how to study hard, do not know how parents bitterness, do notunderstand the meaning of life.
Also some people, although they are unknown to the public, but they cherishtheir youth, cherish their own every second. They are studying hard, hard h is a song, sing the life the most memorable fragment; youth is a painting,draw the outline of the most wonderful scene; youth is a poem, to praise themost beautiful moment in life; youth is the only way which must be passed toeach of us in our life, it plays a significant role.
As a new era of college students, should cherish the youth, to seize everyminute to learn. We must hold to our youth, do not waste one's life. On the roadof growing up, do every thing, each reading a good book, learn every bit ofknowledge. We should not idle about all day, abandoned their studies. We want tomake sure that the goal of life for themselves, to pursue the ideal of is the youth: full power, full of expectations, voluntary, full ofknowledge and the struggle of ambition.
Youth, revealed a deep a quality suggestive of poetry or painting; youth,emitting a faint fragrance lovingly. The pace of youth will not stop because ofdifficulty, the melody of youth is not obstructed by wind and rain and. Youth isthe sun, is a sign of confidence; let us raise the youth sailing, let youthwhere flying, let youth in here!
青春
青春是一個活潑的話題， 青春是一個成熟的轉折。
我們曾經或者正在擁抱青春，我們也將失去我們的青春。 青春像一陣風吹過，後面只留下塵土飛揚。我想留住青春，然而歲月是無情的。我竭盡思索着想用最樸實無華的字眼來記錄這段無悔的青春。有的人把青春當作是廢棄的紙，一無所用。天天無所作為，只知道吃、喝、玩、樂，不懂得好好學習，不懂得父母的辛酸，不懂得人生的意義。
也有些人，他們雖然默默無聞，但是他們卻珍惜着自己的青春，珍惜自己所擁有的每一分每一秒。他們正在努力地學習，努力地工作。青春是一首歌，唱出人生最值得回憶的片段;青春是一幅畫，勾勒出人生最精彩的一幕;青春是一首小詩，讚美人生最美的一刻;青春是我們每個人的必經之路，它對我們的人生起着重大的作用。
作為一名新時代的大學生，應該要好好珍惜青春，要抓住每一分每一秒來學習。我們要緊握青春，不虛度年華。在成長的道路上，做好每一件事，讀好每一本書，學好每一點知識。我們不應該整天遊手好閒，荒廢學業。我們要為自己確定人生的目標，努力地去追求人生的理想。這就是青春：充滿着力量，充滿了期待、志願，充滿着求知和鬥爭的志向。
青春，流露着濃濃的詩情畫意;青春，散發出淡淡的幽香含情。青春的步伐不會因困難而停止，青春的旋律不會因風雨而阻撓。青春是陽光，是自信的標誌;讓我們揚起青春的風帆，讓青春在這裏飛揚，讓青春在這裏啟航吧!
five score years ago, a great american, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the emancipation proclamation. this momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. it came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity.
but one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the negro is still not free. one hundred years later, the life of the negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. one hundred years later, the negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. one hundred years later, the negro is still languishing in the corners of american society and finds himself an exile in his own land. so we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition.
in a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. when the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the declaration of independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every american was to fall heir. this note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
it is obvious today that america has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. instead of honoring this sacred obligation, america has given the negro people a bad check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." but we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. we refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.
so we have come to cash this check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
we have also come to this hallowed spot to remind america of the fierce urgency of now. this is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of god's children. now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.
有句老話是時間等於金錢。但時間真的一定等於金錢嗎?未必。首先時間比金錢寶貴。金錢花完還可以再掙，而時間如果浪費了就一去不復返了。因此某種程度上，時間是無價的。其次，並不是所有的時間都能變為金錢。有些人整日遊手好閒，他們的時間是用來浪費的，而不是用來掙錢的，最終將一無所得。因此務必要記住，只有努力工作，時間才能等於金錢。
As a popular saying goes, "Time is money." But does time definitely meanmoney? I don't think so. First of all, time is more precious than money. Whenmoney is spent, you can earn it back if you want to. However,when time is gone,it will never come back. To some extent, time is priceless. Second, not all timecan be turned into money in the end. Some persons are idling all the time. Theirtime is just for wasting, not for earning money. They will end in nothing atlast. So be sure to remember that time can be turned into money only with hardwork involved in it.
It is the duty of every citizen to make the country rich and powerful (to make the country rich and strong is...). in order to accomplish this object one must be patriotic (love his country). i consider this an unchangeable truth.
How can a student love his country (be patriotic)? i find my answer very simple and clear. he must study hard and store up knowledge so as to serve his (the) country in the future. if every student can do according to what i said, the country will certainly be rich and powerful.
Dear friends! Do you still remember your first English teacher? You may say:” Yes.” Everyone has his teachers, in my mind, I’ll never forget her---my first English teacher Ms. Li. Without her, I wouldn’t be standing here. She is a young and lovely lady with beautiful eyes. Her voice sounds sweet and she speaks English very well. That was the first impression she left on us when she first gave us an English lesson.
In her class, she taught us carefully and patiently. she has a strange way of making her class lively and interesting. She always made opportunities for us to speak English. She gave us many beautiful pictures to talk on them, played games with us and told us many interesting stories. She made us learn from games. We learned English with great fun. After class she helped the students who had trouble in learning English.
Little by little, I had interest in English, but English was a new subject to me, I had many difficulties in learning it well. I often felt very confused. Even though I wanted to give up learning English. It was Ms. Li who helped me to find ways to overcome my difficulties. She helped me to practice speaking English everyday. She always encouraged me whenever I lost heart. She helped me to have confidence in myself. She gave me what I needed, courage, confidence, good ways to learn
English and opportunities to speak English in class. So I was grateful for her. Maybe I can’t meet her again. The only thing I can give her is my best wishes. I wish my dear teacher happiness, good health and good luck. And I also want to say to her: Thank you, Ms. Li. I love you!
my dream hello everyone! it is my great pleasure to share my dream with you today.
my dream is to become a teacher.
you know being a teacher is a thing that is very valuable and very interesting.
i suggest that it must be a great fun to be with children all the day.
and if i am a teacher， i can teach my students a lot of knowledge.
they might become stronger and cleverer because of me.
that is a very contented feeling.
china is a developing country.
now i think at this point it's important for me to say that i actually love extroverts. i always like to say some of my best friends are extroverts, including my beloved husband. and we all fall at different points, of course, along the introvert/extrovert spectrum. even carl jung, the psychologist who first popularized these terms, said that there's no such thing as a pure introvert or a pure extrovert. he said that such a man would be in a lunatic asylum, if he existed at all. and some people fall smack in the middle of the introvert/extrovert spectrum, and we call these people ambiverts. and i often think that they have the best of all worlds. but many of us do recognize ourselves as one type or the other.
and what i'm saying is that culturally we need a much better balance. we need more of a yin and yang between these two types. this is especially important when it comes to creativity and to productivity, because when psychologists look at the lives of the most creative people, what they find are people who are very good at exchanging ideas and advancing ideas, but who also have a serious streak of introversion in them.
and this is because solitude is a crucial ingredient often to creativity. so darwin, he took long walks alone in the woods and emphatically turned down dinner party invitations. theodor geisel, better known as dr. seuss, he dreamed up many of his amazing creations in a lonely bell tower office that he had in the back of his house in la jolla, california. and he was actually afraid to meet the young children who read his books for fear that they were expecting him this kind of jolly santa claus-like figure and would be disappointed with his more reserved persona. steve wozniak invented the first apple computer sitting alone in his cubical in hewlett-packard where he was working at the time. and he says that he never would have become such an expert in the first place had he not been too introverted to leave the house when he was growing up.
INTRODUCTION
1. Tomorrow，we celebrate our 38th year of independence. 62 years is a short history for any country. But we have come a long way. 62 years ago，we were a poor country trying to create as many jobs as we could to feed our people. There was no Changi Airport，no multinational corporations or financial centre，no defence capability of our own. Only 60% of our people were literate. Only 11% of our students progressed beyond secondary school. Few people thought we could succeed，or even survive. But we overcame the odds. By working hard，finding our own solutions and tying our futures together as a people，we transformed Singapore into what it is today.
2. We now face renewed challenges as a nation. Terrorism is a real and continuing threat. Our economy has also been hit by the global economic slowdown，and more recently by SARS. Even after our economy recovers，we will face formidable competitors，especially in China and India.
3. We can overcome these challenges. We have faced up to many challenges before，especially when independence was first thrust upon us. We are in a stronger position today than in 1965. We have a skilled population，a world-class infrastructure，and the confidence of international investors. Most importantly，we are a united people，determined to meet challenges together.
THE FOUNDATION OF SUCCESS：ONE UNITED PEOPLE
4. A strong nation is not just made up of individuals，however talented. It rests on our collective efforts as one people.
5. Our experience with SARS is a good example of how we can overcome great challenges if we work together. All Singaporeans played a part in fighting SARS - the doctors and nurses in our hospitals，defence engineers working on the thermal scanners，the cleaning staff in our buildings and food centres，and everyone of you in our schools.
6. Our schools can take pride in how we stood up to the challenge of SARS. It has been a massive task to monitor the well being of more than half a million pupils and give their parents confidence in the safety of our schools. Our principals，teachers and other school staff rose to the challenge，calmly and meticulously. As pupils，you played your part well，by taking your temperature daily and exercising responsibility to prevent the spread of the disease. Even our Primary 1 and 2 pupils learnt how to take their own temperatures with the guidance of their teachers. The fact that a very large majority of parents sent their children back to schools as soon as we reopened them was a major vote of confidence，especially in our teachers.
different people have different career outlooks. some people want to become civil servants; some people hope to start their own business; some people dream of being freelancers, and so on.
however, my ideal job is teaching. firstly, i’m told that teachers have a high income. with the high income, i can open a training school to help the children in poor families with their education. secondly, teachers always have summer and winter holidays, thus i will have more free time to relax myself. more importantly, teachers are angels to students, who can pass on the knowledge to students as well as help them develop their hobbies and interests. i can’t imagine how happy i will feel when i see my students become elites.
in order to be a qualified teacher, i should read more books to acquire more knowledge, and train my patience and improve my communication and handwriting abilities.
however, fraternal love is not stable. being away for too a long time, losing all common benefits, friends will become estranged. once their interest has changed, they no longer understand each other, and even this would harm friendship. at all times and in all countries, many close friends and battle companions who once worked together and fought together became enemies in the end. quiet a few of the emperors in ancient china even killed those who had helped them found their dynasties. the taiping heavenly kingdom would not have failed if it hadn't been for the contending and massacring among the those who first rose in rebellion at the beginning of the uprising. what else we need to pay attention to is that some friends, after being away from each other for too long a time, have lost so much of their original characters that when meeting again, you will feel that you are still the same as you were, while they are no longer themselves. they may have the same feeling about you, so sometimes it's better not to meet each other again. as the chinese proverb goes “friendship can not last for three years and flowers can not stay in blossom for three months”'s not so easy to maintain real friendship which needs mutual understanding, tolerance and sacrifice. any kinds of harsh treatment will damage friendship.
