I believe in our future

Honorable Judges, fellow students:

Good afternoon!

Recently, ther is a heated debate in our society.The college students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege, whoreceive exceptional education at extraordinary places. But will webe able to face the challenge and support ourselves against allodds? Will we be able to better the lives of others? Will we beable to accept the responsibility of building the future of ourcountry?

The cynics say the college students are thepampered lost generation, which would cringe at the slightestdiscomfort. But the cynics are wrong. The college students I seeare eagerly learning about how to live independently. We help eachother clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, andtake part time jobs to supplement our pocket money.

The cynics say we care for nothing other thangrades; and we neglect the need for character cultivation. Butagain, the cynics are wrong. We care deeply for each other, wecherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth. Last week,thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested inorder to make a contribution for the children who suffer from bloodcancer.

As college students, we are adolescents at thecritical turning point in our lives. We all face a fundamentalchoice: cynicism or faith, each will profoundly impact our future,or even the future of our country. I believe in all my fellowclassmates. Though we are still inexperienced and even a little bitchildish. I believe that we have the courage and faith to meet anychallenge and take on our responsibilities. We are preparing toassume new responsibilities and tasks, and to use the education wehave received to make our world a better place. I believe in ourfuture.

我对未来充满信心

尊敬的评委，各位同学：

下午好!

最近，社会上有一场很激烈的争论。大学生是一种稀有特权的享有者，在很棒的地方接受高等教育。但是，我们能面对挑战而无所畏惧吗?我们能够改善他人的生活吗?我们能够承担建设祖国未来的重任吗?

怀疑论者说大学生是被宠坏的一代，一丁点挫折都受不了。但是他们错了，我所看到的大学生正在努力的学习独立生活。我们互相帮助打扫卫生，一起上街砍价购物，一起参加兼职工作来赚零花钱。

怀疑论者说我们除了成绩什么都不关心，从而忽略了性格的培养。但是，他们又错了。我们彼此关心，我们向往自由，我们珍惜公正，我们追求真理。上个星期，很多我的同学去验血，为了给患血癌的孩子贡献自己的力量。

作为大学生，我们是处在人生分水岭的青年。我们都面临一个重要的选择：怀疑人生还是相信自己，每一种都会给我们的人生带来重大的影响，甚至影响我们祖国的未来。我相信我们的同学们，虽然我们依然缺乏经验，甚至有些志气，但是我相信我们有勇气和自信来面对生活的挑战并承担我们的责任。我们正努力准备接受新的任务，用我们所学习的知识将世界变得更美好。我对我们的未来充满信心。

大学生英语演讲稿17 Change The Ingredients Of YourLife

Change The Ingredients Of Your Life

This is a glass of water, tasteless, right?However if you add sugar, it will taste sweet, but if you addvinegar, it will become bitter. The same is true with our life____the flavor is created by our choices.

If kindness is added to a strange you will have afriend; but if hostility is added, you will have an enemy. If loveis added to a pile of red bricks you will have a home, but ifhatred is add to those bricks , you will have an concentrationcamp.

So my dear friends, never complain that life isboring and the world is disappointing. If don’t like the taste ofyour life, change the ingredients.

Three year ago, I weighed more than 100 hundredkilograms which caused significant embarrassment and frustration inmy life. Like always failing my P.E examinations, like always beinglaughed at by girls, like being terrified to speak in public. Itwas my grandmother’s encouragement that revived from my passiveattitude to become confident in myself. She said “ My dear, if youcan’t change you figure, why not treat it as your own style. So Ibegan to cautiously employ the new way of thinking. By choosing tochange my outlook on life, I developed the confidence to make adifference and finally I found a totally new world.

So my dear friend, if faith, hope, love,endurance are added to your life, you will find the confidence toconquer your limitation and embrace new challenges. And hopefullywith my speech included, you will have a fantastic speechcontest.

改变生活的味道

这是一杯白开水，平淡无味，对吧?可是加上点糖呢，他尝起来会有甜味;如果加的是苏打水，味道就会变苦。人生同样如此——个中滋味在于我们的选择。

善待他人，你会拥有朋友;但如果充满恶意，则会多个敌人。将爱赋予一堆红砖，你会拥有一个家;用仇恨来浇铸这堆红砖，就会铸成一座集中营。

因此亲爱的朋友们，不要抱怨人生乏味，世间无望。不喜欢生活的味道，那就换一换生活的调料吧!

三年前，我重达100多公斤，这给我带来了很多尴尬和挫折：体育课老是不及格，总被女孩们嘲笑，更不敢当众发表意见。幸而由于祖母的鼓励，我不在消极人生，而是充满自信。她曾经说过：“孩子，如果体形无法改变，为什么不把它看做自己独特的风格呢?”我开始这样来审视人生，通过改变生活的视角，我信心大增地去改变我的人生，很快就发现一个崭新的世界。

朋友们，将信念，希望，爱意和忍性溶入生命，你就会找到自信，克服缺点，迎接人生新的挑战。最后我的演讲包括在内，希望你会看到一场精彩的演讲比赛。

The East and the West, Let’s enjoy thecombination of the two cultures?

Kipling said:“East is east, and west is west, andnever the twain shall meet!” But now, a century later, they havemet.

They have met in business. They have met ineducation. They have met in the arts. Some people will argue thatthese meetings will leave us with a choice between east and west,but I believe that the best future lies in the creative combinationof both worlds. We can make western ideas, customs and technologyour own, and adapt them to our own use. We can enjoy the best ofboth worlds, because our tradition is, above all, one of selectingthe best and making it our own.

I love Beijing and Hennan opera because it alwaysreminds me of who I am. But I am also a fan of pop music,especially English songs. So I have combined eastern melody withwestern language. It is called western henna opera.

When two cultures meet, there may be things inone culture, which do not fit into the tradition of the other. Whenthis happens, we need to learn to understand and respect thecustoms of another culture. Then there are certain things somepeople may not like. To this, I will say, if you do not like it,please try to tolerate it. To learn to tolerate what you personallydon’t like is a great virtue at a time when different cultures mixand merge. Before us, there are two rivers, eastern and westerncultures. At present, they may run in different courses. Buteventually, they will converge into the vast sea of humanculture.

Right now, I can see peoples of eastern andwestern cultures, standing side by side, singing the Olympic themesong: we are hand in hand, heart to heart, together we will shape abeautiful tomorrow! Thank you!

让我们共同感受东西方的融合

吉卜林说过:东方是东方，西方是西方，二者永不相聚。但是一个世纪后的今天，东西方相汇了!它们相聚在经济领域，它们相聚在教育领域，它们相聚在艺术的殿堂。有人争论说:这种融合需要我们在东方和西方之间做出选择，但我却坚信最美好的未来在于东方和西方创造性的融合。我们可以将西方的思想，观念和技术变为我们自己所用的东西。

我喜爱京剧和河南豫剧，因为它们经常使我想起自己是谁。但我也热衷于流行音乐，特别是英文歌曲。于是我将东方的旋律和西方的语言结合到了一起，它叫做西方版的河南豫剧。

当两种文化相结合的时候，也许一方的文化中的某些东西不适应另一方的传统文化。当此种情况出现时，我们需要试着理解并接受另一种文化中的风俗习惯。然而，也许有些东西你并不喜欢，对于此，我可以说，如果你不喜欢它，请试着去容忍它。当两种文化融合的时候，试着去容忍你个人不喜欢的东西是一种美德。

在我们面前有两条河流，东方文化和西方文化。现在，它们也许正朝着不同的方向流去。但是最终它们将汇合到人类文化的海洋里。

就在此时此刻，我看见东方和西方的人肩并肩的站在一起，高唱奥林匹克主题曲:我们手拉手，心靠着心，共同创造美好的明天!

Farewell, Indifference

Who was the most well-known figure in China lastmonth? It’s Ma JiaJue—the college student who murdered 4 of hisroommates. Many people attributed his crime to his poverty anddeficient education. In my opinion, his crime also has much to dowith his classmates’ indifference.

Indifference is a terrible disease in today’scolleges and the whole society. It’s not rare that two students whohave studied together for 4 years have never spoken to each other.It’s not rare that a student who has been absent from class forseveral days is not noticed at all. It’s also not rare that astudent who has severe psychological problems is not cared about atall.

Some people may say ‘What the students withpsychological problems like Ma JiaJue need is not care butpsychotherapy.” However, when people are ill, what they need mostis not only medical treatment, but also care from people aroundthem. Every smile and every caring word will bring sunshine totheir life.

I once heard one of my roommates who was anintroverted girl sobbing at mid-night. Being afraid of disturbingher, I sent a text message to comfort her. The next day, she toldme that she was crying for not being invited to one of her friend’sbirthday party. She thought she was neglected by others. But mymessage was really comforting which told her someone still caredabout her.

What can we do to prevent the tragedy of MaJiaJue from happening again? Some people may say ‘Let’s open morepsychological courses in schools.’ and other people may say ‘Let’sdonate more money for the poor students.’ But I’ll say “My fellowstudent, let’s give more love and care to our roommates, ourclassmates and every person around us!”

走出冷漠

谁是中国上个月最有名的人物?这当然要数马加爵了——这个杀害了四名同学的大学生。很多人将他的犯罪归结于他的贫穷和不全面的教育。但我觉得他的犯罪还跟他周围同学的冷漠有很大关系。

冷漠是流行于当今校园及整个社会中的一种可怕的疾病。有的同学在一起学习了4年却从未说过话，有的同学几天没去上课却无人知晓，还有的同学有了严重的心理问题却得不到关心。

有人说：像马加爵那样有心理问题的人需要的不是关心而是心理治疗。但在一个人生病的时候，除了医生的治疗，他需要的还有周围人的关心。一个微笑，一声问候都能为他们的生活带来阳光。

有一天半夜，我碰巧听见寝室里一个平时很内向的女孩在轻声抽泣。为了不惊动她，我给她发了一条短信来安慰她。第二天，他告诉我那晚她哭了是因为她的一位好朋友开生日聚会没有请她参加，她觉得自己被大家所忽视了。但我对短信却给了她很大安慰，让她觉得还是有人惦记着她的。

如何才能阻止马加爵的悲剧重演呢?有人呼吁应该在学校开设更多的心理辅导课程，有人建议应该给贫困学生更多的捐助，而我要说的是：同学们，让我们把更多的关爱带给我们的舍友，同学和身边的每一个人!

大学生英语演讲稿14 I Am Tripping My ElephantHere

I Am Tripping My Elephant Here

Once upon a time, a weenie ant was walking on hisway. As he was walking, suddenly he felt the ground shakingterribly. He looked around with his paranoid eyes and saw anelephant walking right behind him. Quickly, the little ant coveredhimself with dirt, but one leg was unfortunately left out. Asparrow saw everything, so she flew down with the purpose ofteasing the ant: “Hey, chicken! Watch out your leg, it’s out!” Theant felt embarrassed at first but then calmly responded: “ Shi…I amgoing to trip that elephant.”

Right now, I’m standing on this glamorous stage.But everything here reminds me of is a not so fun memory. Aroundthis time last year I was in Nanjing competing in another speechcontest. That was the first time for me to be in such a largeevent. Of course the pressure I was under was immense too. After asleepless and stressful night, I went onto that stage without thefeeling in my legs. That speech turned out to be horrible. I don’tremember how I get down from there, but I do remember afterwards Ijust wanted to find a hole to hide in just like the ant in thestory. Back at my school, it took a long time for me to recover.Thanks to all the help I got from my special friends. My confidencewas restored. After rounds of giving speeches and answering toughquestions, I am here today. From all that I’ve been through I’velearned that a good future is based on a forgotten past, if I wantmy life to go on well I have to let go of my past failure. Sotoday, with out fear, I am tripping my elephant again.

我又一次在绊大象

从前，一只小蚂蚁在路上走着，走着走着，忽然感觉到地在颤动，回头一看是一只大象正朝他走来。于是他很快用土盖住身体，不幸一只脚忘在了外面。一只麻雀看到了一切，她飞下来想要取笑一下这只蚂蚁，说：“咳，胆小鬼，小心你的脚，露出来了!”蚂蚁开始有些尴尬，但一会不紧不慢地告诉麻雀说：“小声点，我要在绊那只大象。”

今天，我站在这个讲台上。但周围的一切让我想到的却并不是一段有趣的回忆。大概是去年的这个时间，我在南京参加另一个全国英语演讲比赛。那是我第一次参加大赛，当然压力非常大。经过压抑无眠的一整夜，我走上了演讲台。那时我有史以来最差的一次演讲。我不记得自己怎么从讲台上走下来的，只记得当时很想找一个地方躲进去再也不出来就想我故事中的蚂蚁。回到学校，我花了好一段时间才恢复过来。幸好有朋友和老师的鼓励，我又一次有了勇气和信心。经过一轮又一轮的演讲和回答问题，我今天站在了这里。让也我领悟了一个道理：一个好的将来是建立在忘掉过去的基础上的，直到真正忘记过去的失败生活才会变的美好。今天，我没有惧怕，又一次站到了大象的面前。

Hold Fast To Your Dreams

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day every vally shall beexalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the roughplaces will be made plain, and the crooked places will be madestraight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and allflesh shall see it together.

Wow, what a dream it has been for Martin LutherKing. But the changing world seems telling me that people graduallyget their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up, andsometimes I personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously tothose distant childhood dreams.

However, we meed dreams. They nourish our spirit;they represent possibility even when we are dragged down byreality. They keep us going. Most successful people are dreamers aswell as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare tobe great. When we were little kids, we all dreamed of doingsomething big and splashy, something significant. Now what we needto do is to maintain them, refresh them and turn them into reality.However, the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how totranslate these dreams into actions. Well, just start with concreteobjectives and stick to it. Don’t let the nameless fear confuse theeye and confound our strong belief of future. Through our talents,through our wits, through our endurance and through our creativity,we will make it.

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is abroken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for whendreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. So my dearfriends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever it is,pick it up and make it alive from today.

抓牢你的梦想

我今天有一个梦想。

我梦想有一天，幽谷上升，高山下降，崎岖之地变平原，曲折之路成坦途。圣光展露，满照人间。

这对马丁路德金是怎样的一个梦想啊。不过这个变化着的世界似乎在告诉我，在成长的过程中，人们却不知不觉把他们的梦想弄丢了，而我自己也有时会觉得在告别很多童年的梦。

然而，我们是需要梦想的。梦想滋养我们的灵魂，梦想代表着我们被现实拉垮时依然具有的希望。它鼓励我们不断前进。大多数成功人士都是梦想家，同时也是普通人，只是他们敢于梦想敢于成就伟大。当我们还是孩子的时候，我们都梦想过做一番大事业，现在应当做的就是保存好那些梦想，再度恢复它们，并将它们实现。不过最难的是我们通常不知道怎样付诸实施。那么，就从最具体的目标开始，坚持去做吧。不要让那些莫名的恐惧迷惑了我们的双眼，影响了我们对未来的信念。用我们的天资和智慧，用我们的耐力和创造力，我们一定会实现梦想。

抓牢你的梦想，因为如果梦想死亡，生活就成了一只折断翅膀的鸟再也不能飞翔。抓牢你的梦想，因为如果失去梦想，生命就成了一块覆盖着冰雪的贫瘠的冻土。亲爱的朋友们，想想那些过去的或已经死去的梦想吧。不管是什么，重新将它捡起，并从今天开始让它重生。
