國中英語演講稿(15篇)

國中英語演講稿1

首先,我想知道,你的命運給你什麼?幸福,智慧,一個強壯的身體或者其他東西。如果我有問這個問題,尼克松總統,他可能會說,“命運給予我們的不是失望之酒,而是機會之杯。”

不用說,中國的一個最大的機會是2008年奧運會。直到現在,我們已經使用2/7的準備時間。你看過多少變化?新的道路,新的地鐵線路,public-exercising裝置用美麗的色彩,大量的草地上,大量的現代健身房正在建設。

以外,有更加好的效果帶給我們不能直接看到的奧運會。例如,越來越多的人瞭解中國。我相信神祕的中國文化會強烈吸引他們。和奧運會也將做良好的經濟和環境,因為這是獲得外國投資者的關注和保護環境的意識正在加強。更重要的是,奧運會給一個獨特的機會來激勵和教育新一代的中國青年奧林匹克精神和奧林匹克精神。現在,我們已經看到這麼多的進步,你能想象我們失去控股權利?

我已經說了很多關於奧運會和中國。但我認為每個人都應該用一些時間來思考這個問題,“奧運會有什麼特殊意義嗎?”

對我們來說,我的意思是中國青年,2008年奧運會是一個巨大的禮物。因為我們正在等待做一些重要的是償還給我們的愛。社會就像一艘船,我們的夢想隊長揮舞著他的手,說:“嘿!來這裡和掌舵!“他的聲音有多迷人,但我們從未聽說過它在我們的真實生活。然而今天上午,當我們醒來時,我們將看到奧運會揮舞著它的手。咀嚼後,我們大多數人至少都會有一個計劃為奧運會做什麼。和我的是一個“被子”——這是會安慰別人的人。

在我演講的最後,我希望所有的準備工作將順利,每個人都向世界展示他們的能力。讓我們抓住機遇,給挑戰一個燦爛的微笑。

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 2008 Olympic Games. Till now, we have used two sevenths of the preparation time. 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, 2008 Olympic Games is a tremendous gift. Because what we are waiting for is to do something significant as repaying the love given to us 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.

Students, guests , teachers and Honorable Judges

Good morning !

my great pleasure to share my dream with you today.I have kept the dream in my mind for so long that whoever in the sun is able to live a happy life for ever. I think this dream is deeply rooted in the future. As we can see, we are now not far away from violence, poverty, diseases, environmental pollution and even wars. Most of people are in need of what they have never enjoyed. However, I still can stick to my innermost dream, as I still can see the bright lights in our future. I believe, there will be a day when those from the rich counties

are really willing to share what they have with those from the poor countries; there will be a day when we are surprised to find that the word poverty has long been out of our memories; there will be a day when we are together to share our dreams and we will all contribute to making our common dreams come true. I will not just wait but to take action to live in my dream.

Have A Dream.

I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its belief: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood; I have a dream .....

That one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state suffering from the heat of unfairness, suffering from the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice; I have a dream

That my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character; I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its evii racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and invalidity, one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers;

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be gone,every hill and mountain shall be made Iow, and rough places will be made plane and crooked places will be made straight,and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

Bear What You Can

Be Like a Pine Tree And Bear What You Can

School had been very easy for me in the beginning. I had been the usual routine---show up for school, complete assignments, take tests, get grades. And that was usually straight A's. I thought school was that easy.

Suddenly middle school began. Sure, I was a top student for six years, why would it be any harder? It was; the bad mark in a pop quiz deeply humbled me.

I became very resentful and angry about my situation. I felt so depressed for feeling inferior.

One winter day we had a heavy snow. Mother took me for a long walk. “ See those elm trees,” she said. “ The branches are broken. The trees may die. But look at those pine trees! They are not hurt by the snow.” “ When they have more snow than they can hold, they lower the branches and let the snow slip away. The next morning they are as good as ever.”

國中英語演講稿:像松樹那樣

“There are just two kinds of trees in the world: the stubborn and the wise. Be like a pine tree. Bear what you can, then let the load slide off. You will move forward lightly.”

Yes, “Be like a pine tree. Bear what you can! ” Shake off resentment, angry and depression. We will have a bright future.

像松樹那樣, 能承擔多少就承擔多少

求學之初,我一直得心應手。一切不外乎是每天上學,做作業,考考試,拿學分。而我的分數經常是優。我覺得求學竟是那般容易。

倏忽之間,中學學習生涯開始了。千真萬確,我做了六年的優等生,難道功課還會變得更難?確實如此。在一次突襲考試中,我糟糕的成績深深挫傷了我的傲氣。

我為我的境況變得憤懣不平。我灰心、失望,因為我感覺低人一等。

冬日的一天,外邊下了一場大雪。媽媽帶我去散步。“瞧那榆樹”,媽媽說,“樹枝都折斷了,這些樹會死的。再瞧那松樹,它們不會受到雪的傷害。它們把枝丫垂下, 使雪滑落。第二天清晨,依舊完好如初。”

“世界上只有兩種樹,一種頑固不化;一種機智聰明。做一棵松樹吧!能承受多少就承受多少。 然後抖掉包袱,你就能輕鬆前行。”

是的,像松樹那樣, 能承擔多少就承擔多少,抖掉怨恨、憤懣和失望,我們將擁有一個燦爛的明天。

Embracing otherness. When I first heard this theme, I thought, well, embracing otherness is embracing myself. And the journey to that place of understanding and acceptance has been an interesting one for me, and it's given me an insight into the whole notion of self, which I think is worth sharing with you each have a self, but I don't think that we're born with one.

You know how newborn babies believe they're part of everything; they're not separate? Well that fundamental sense of oneness is lost on us very quickly. It's like that initial stage is over -- oneness: infancy, unformed, primitive. It's no longer valid or real.

What is real is separateness, and at some point in early babyhood, the idea of self starts to form.

how exercise helps if our bodies are not strong, our spirit to do things will certainly be quite dull。 and at the same time, we are lack of energy (ies) to study。

diseases will only attack the weak, but not the strong。 why are our bodies not strong? because we do not pay attention to exercise。 for this reason, we students must often take different kinds (sorts) of exercise in the gym。

exercise helps us (to) strengthen our bodies and avoid disease。 it also teaches us cooperation, for most exercise is played by team。

There is no blue sky goshawk, leaving only empty land; no water, turned into desert; and the students have no teacher, lost direction.

As an English teacher, facing a group of innocent children, I hope they can be healthy and happy and grow; I wish they can study hard, I prefer an encyclopedic mind; that my students can have English the key, open the window to the world.

All of you here, have you ever guessed that the work of a junior high school English teacher is as cold as winter, nothing new, repetitive, boring? The content of the work is nothing more than dictation words, recite the text, foreign student counseling?

This is not the case with the Chinese and English teachers.

Our work is full of vitality, creativity, vitality, and love.

We also have spring in China and britain!

We do not do not believe it, because we have a new starting point, new goals, new development!

Let's start with a new starting point.

Our team, is approaching retirement age, a leg injury, still stick in the classroom, full of love, deeply loved by children older teacher Sun Meiyue; for several years as one day, adhere to the scientific research in the teaching practice, teachers have fruitful Liu Peiliang; painstaking research questions, teaching the top grade, and two times in the senior high school entrance examination essay teacher Xu Yucong also has the talent to * *; but two years of outstanding achievements, the rapid progress of teacher Cai Rui.

This year, our team has injected a lot of fresh blood.

Cheng Shuhui was awarded the prize for teaching teachers, who is more beautiful class teacher Liang, junior high school teachers have taught the king of gold, as well as the spoken language of the most beautiful teacher Jiang Xia, Miao Miao, Liu Haili.

The team in Britain and China is more fulfilling.

Our team, as a teacher in charge of up to 9 people.

The whole team is full of harmony and mutual assistance, the atmosphere of common progress.

Such a team, I can say it ushered in a new starting point?

Say our new target.

Our goal is to develop a highly effective English classroom.

Have you ever thought that the open class and normal class of Chinese and English teachers are two different styles? The results of scientific research and the actual classroom is not linked to it? Actually, this is not the case.

In addition to paying attention to the students to learn well, we pay more attention to them to learn.

Not only fall in love with English, but in the future, I can use my English to influence others.

In order to do this, we often communicate in the teaching and research meetings and efficient teaching methods and lively form of teaching, and strive to achieve an organic combination of both.

We often remind each other, as far as possible in the classroom to speak more English instructions, as far as possible to give children more opportunities to speak english.

Each group of teachers in China and the United Kingdom to create a relaxed and efficient, happy English class as its mission.

Arm yourself in theory, improve yourself in practice.

Such a team, you say, it does not have a new goal?

Finally talk about our new development.

It can be said that today's Sino British group, has ushered in a new opportunity for development.

With the strong support of the school, we have enriched the ranks, filled with the power of endeavor, and set new goals.

Review of the * * * * *, * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * top 10.

7893 grade teachers were eager to make achievements in A fighting spirit soars aloft.

At the beginning of the new semester, the head of the teaching and research group has developed a detailed mentoring program, the teacher in charge of mutual learning plan, the young teacher exchange program, etc.

**-20xx the new school year, the group has fully equipped for.

For the difficulties that may arise, we will not fear, we will meet with difficulties!

To borrow a few words to express the ambitions of the Chinese and English groups in the face of difficulties:

Let it go

I am one with the the sky

You 'll see me cry never

Here I stand here I 'll stay and

Let the strom rage on

The cold never bother me will anymore

But in retrospect, the destruction of my self was so repetitive that I started to see a pattern. The self changed, got affected, broken, destroyed, but another one would evolve -- sometimes stronger, sometimes hateful, sometimes not wanting to be there at self was not constant. And how many times would my self have to die before I realized that it was never alive in the first place?

I grew up on the coast of England in the '70s. My dad is white from Cornwall, and my mom is black from Zimbabwe. Even the idea of us as a family was challenging to most people. But nature had its wicked way, and brown babies were born.

But from about the age of five, I was aware that I didn't fit. I was the black atheist kid in the all-white Catholic school run by nuns.I was an anomaly, and my self was rooting around for definition and trying to plug in. Because the self likes to fit, to see itself replicated, to belong. That confirms its existence and its importance. And it is important.

at you cannot get happinessby pursuing it. This is The most important of these things is an activity which at mostgradually builds up something that you are glad to see coming intoexistence. Women who take an instinctive pleasure in their childrencan get this kind of satisfaction out of bringing up a sts and authors and men of science get happiness in this way iftheir own work seems good to them. But there are many humbler formsof the same kind of pleasure. Many men who spend their working lifein the city devote their weekends to voluntary and unremuneratedtoil in their gardens, and when the spring comes, they experienceall the joys of having created beauty. The whole subject ofhappiness has, in my opinion, been treated too solemnly.

It had been thought that man cannot be happy without a theory oflife or a religion. Perhaps those who have been rendered unhappy bya bad theory may need a better theory to help them to recover, justas you may need a tonic when you have been ill. But when things arenormal a man should be healthy without a tonic and happy without atheory. It is the simple things that really matter. If a mandelights in his wife and children, has success in work, and findspleasure in the alternation of day and night, spring and autumn, hewill be happy whatever his philosophy may be. If,>’snoise unendurable, and the office a nightmare; if in the daytime helongs for night, and at night sighs for the light of day, then whathe needs is not a new philosophy but a new regimen--a differentdiet, or more exercise, or what not. Man is an animal, and hishappiness depends.

國中英語演講稿技巧,對書面表達中常用的重要語言點進行系統化整理,從簡到難,逐步深入,符合語言學習的習慣。在知識點的表述上簡潔、直白;對必須掌握和理解的概念均通過例句加以剖析講解,便於記憶。

1.根據聽眾物件,注意演講的總體措詞

演講的`總體措詞是嚴肅一些還是活潑一些,是有較明顯的說教口氣還是用平等的口吻,等等,都要根據聽眾物件而定。如果場下聽眾是同齡的學生,那麼演講的內容只要風趣一些往往就能引起共鳴。但另一方面,如果聽眾大多是上了年紀的教師,太多的笑料反而會被認為“不嚴肅”,“不尊重”,而引起反感。

用英語演講,不要用太多 i feel, i think,老是用i,顯得十分主觀,狹隘。如果通篇全是 i feel, i think 的內容,會給人覺得缺乏說服力。另外,perhaps, maybe 這樣的詞語,雖然有“客氣,謙虛”的成分,但太多會讓人覺得你演講的內容有不可靠之處。

還有,在演講中,要少用you,多用we。用you等於把自己與聽眾對立起來,而用we則拉近了與聽眾的距離。比如:you should not smoke.聽上去像教訓人,而 let’s not smoke聽起來是一個不錯的建議。

2.演講要越短越好

gettysburg address four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.

we are met on a great battlefield of that war. we have come to dedicate a portion of the field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live. it is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. but in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground.

the brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. the world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

it is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. it is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, ----that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion, ----that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, ----that this nation, under god, shall have a new birth of freedom, ----and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

其實,我們中學生練習寫演講稿,可以短些,從4~5分鐘,500~600個詞,圍繞一個主題開始練習。

3.英語演講稿的基本組成部分

從大的方面看,英語演講詞實際上是屬於一種特殊的說明文或議論文,其基本組成部分是:

1)開始時對聽眾的稱呼語

最常用的是 ladies and gentlemen,也可根據不同情況,選用 fellow students, distinguished guests, mr chairman, honorable judges(評委)等等。

2)提出論題 愛愛英語學習網站

由於演講的時間限制,必須開門見山,提出論題。提出論題的方法有各種各樣,但最生動,最能引起注意的是用舉例法。比如:你要呼籲大家關心貧窮地區的孩子,你可以用親眼看到的或者收集到的那些貧窮孩子多麼需要幫助的例項開始。另外,用具體的統計資料也是一個有效的引出論題的方法,比如:你要談遵守交通規則的話題,你可以從舉一系列有關車輛、車禍等的資料開始。

3)論證

對提出的論題,不可主觀地妄下結論,而要進行客觀的論證。這是演講中最需要下功夫的部分。關鍵是要把道理講清楚。常見的論證方法有舉例法、因果法、對比法等等,可參見英語議論文的有關章節。

4)結論

結論要簡明扼要,以給聽眾留下深刻印象。

5)結尾

結尾要簡潔,不要拉拉扯扯,說個沒完。特別是不要受漢語影響,說些類似“準備不足,請諒解”,“請批評指正”這樣的廢話。最普通的結尾就是:thank you very much for your attention。

4.英語演講稿的語言特徵

1)多用實詞,多用短句,少用結構複雜的長句

在英語演講中,and, but, so, then 等虛詞要儘量少用,that, which 等詞引導的定語從句也只會使句子結構變得複雜,而使聽眾難以跟上演講者的思路,從而影響演講的效果。相反,多使用實詞,短句,可使得演講內容更清晰,氣勢更磅礴。

2)演講要注意使用各種修辭手法,增加演講的感染力和氣勢。英語演講中常用的修辭手法有:漸進(climax)、對照(antithesis)、排比(parallelism)、警句(epigram)等等,例如:

that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.(排比)

這個民有、民治、民享的國家將不會從地球上消失。

united, there is little we can not do;

divided, there is little we can do.(對照)

團結,我們便將無所不能;分裂,我們則會一事無成。

let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

“once upon a time,there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. to all the suitors who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king assigned three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible. one day, into the king's palace came a handsome young the ending is always the same, finishing with the line

why aren't we tired of something so fanciful, so unrealistic, and, i would say, so unimaginative? how can a story like that endure generations of repetition`? because, i think, it is a typical succestory. it is highly philosophical and symbolic. by implication, we see a 4-step definition of success:

1 ) a goal to be set. asrepresented by the beautiful princess;

2 ) challenges to be met, as represented by the three tasks; 3 ) the proceof surmounting, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through; and 4 ) the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage. the story not only caters to everyone's inward yearning forsuccess, but also emphasizes the inseparability of the proceand the result. the reward of succewill be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous, and vice versa.

if a person inherits his father's millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successfulperson even in material terms, because there are no difficultiesinvolved in his achieving affluence.
