介绍《放牛班的春天》英语作文
介绍《放牛班的春天》英语作文I believe that, at the very beginning, everyone was sure that one day his dream would cometrue by perseverance. However, with growing up, things are going to be more difficult andcomplex. Sometimes, when you are coming to the fork of a road, the light at the end of atunnel lost. Then, people no longer have accesses to achieve what they wanted before. lt istrue for both the real life and the life in the movie Les Choristes. While, difficulties never stopbrave guys seeking the true, the good and the beauty. To me, l always believe the beauty ofglorious ideals and elevated minds. Clement Mathieu was a musician with super talent, while it lacks scope for his ability since hewas in French rural areas. One day, Mathieu who failed to achieve his ambition, came to aschool regarded as "the bottom of a pool" and found that boys living there have kinds ofproblems. To make matter worse, the headmaster was very indifferent. He was used to abusehis right to use corporal punishment frequently. Monsieur Mathieu began to try to changethe situation. But, all of his ways turn out useless. Finally, he turned to the music. He hasfound that those boys are interested in singing something, good or bad,or funny or relaxingThey just love singing. So he began to train them with professional method. l have to say thatit reallyis an amazing choir-Boys sing beautiful and bright songs written by Monsieur Mathieu; theyalso managed to perform those songs perfectly. Boys’ hearts seemed to be melted andpurified by the power of music as well as Monsieur Mathieu's patience. Change was in theair of this "bottom of a pool" , and it was just a question of when. Everything seemed sohopeful again. In the end, unfortunately, Monsieur Mathieu was fired by the meanheadmaster in the name of an accident. On his way of leaving, there were lots of paper planesfree falling from the window of classroom. They were from those boys. Even though therewere no names on paper planes, our dear teacher knew exactly who did that. At the sametime, boys locked the angry headmaster out of the door and sang their song to say goodbyeto their teacher.Therefore, l think it is the true essence of education as well as the true meaning of life. Can wesay that?As for me, there is still someone like Monsieur Mathieu l really appreciate. They are teachersin my high school. Of course, they needn' t rescue me from troubles as bad as those in themovie. But they actually taught me many crucial things how to think, how to adhere to myprinciples and what kind of values l should keep. Conspicuously, spiritual guidesfor a teenager who were almost lost are definitely great. Then, l guess this kind of goodeducation is life-giving spring breeze and rain. Besides, the beautiful heart stands forbriliance of humanity. No matter how dark the situation is, the great heart will alwaysdecorate the world and make lives different. 幽晦的“池塘之底”。
奥巴马_my_education_my_future_的英文演讲稿
奥巴马_my_education_my_future_的英文演讲稿第一篇：奥巴马_my_education_my_future_的英文演讲稿1.2.3.4.5.6.7.Hello everyoneat 4:30 in the morning.Now I wasn't too happy about getting up that early.A lot of times, I'd fall asleep right there at the kitchen table.But whenever I'd complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and say, “This is no picnic for me either, buster.”So I know some of you are still adjusting to being back at school.But I'm here today because I have something important to discuss with you.I'm here because I want to talk with you about your education and what's expected of all of you in this new school year.Now I've given a lot of speeches about education.And I've talked a lot about responsibility.I've talked about your teachers' responsibility for inspiring you, and pushing you to learn.I've talked about your parents' responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and get your homework done, and don't spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with that Xbox.I've talked a lot about your government's responsibility for setting high standards, supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren't working where students aren't getting the opportunities they deserve.But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the worldmaybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspapermaybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or a new medicine or vaccineI guarantee that you'll need an education to do it.You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You're going to need a good education for every single one of thosecareers.You can't drop out of school and just drop into a good job.You've got to work for it and train for it and learn for it.And this isn't just important for your own life and your own future.What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country.What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.You'll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment.You'll need the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free.You'll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.We need every single one of you to develop your talents, skills and intellect so you can help solve our most difficult problems.If you don't do thatyou're not just quitting on yourself, you're quitting on your country.Now I know it's not always easy to do well in school.I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.I get it.I know what that's like.My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mother who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us things the other kids had.There were times when I missed having a father in my life.There were times when I was lonely and felt like I didn't fit in.So I wasn't always as focused as I should have been.I did some things I'm not proud of, and got in more trouble than I should have.And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse.But I was fortunate.I got a lot of secondchances and had the opportunity to go to college, and law school, and follow my dreams.My wife, our First Lady Michelle Obama, has a similar story.Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn't have much.But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.16.17.18.19.20.21.Some of you might not have those advantages.Maybe you don't have adults in your life who give you the support that you need.Maybe someone in your family has lost their job, and there's not enough money to go around.Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don't feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren't right.But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your lifethat's no excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude.That's no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school.That's no excuse for not trying.Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.No one's written your destiny for you.Here in America, you write your own destiny.You make your own future.That's what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas.Jazmin didn't speak English when she first started school.Hardly anyone in her hometown went to college, and neither of her parents had gone either.But she worked hard, earned good grades, got a scholarship to Brown University, and is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to being Dr.Jazmin Perez.I'm thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who's fought brain cancer since he was three.He's endured all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longerto do his schoolwork.But he never fell behind, and he's headed to collegethis fall.And then there's Shantell Steve, from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois.Even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods, she managed to get a job at a local health center;start a program to keep young people out of gangs;and she's on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college.Jazmin, Andoni and Shantell aren't any different from any of you.They faced challenges in their lives just like you do.But they refused to give up.They chose to take responsibility for their education and set goals for themselves.And I expect all of you to do the same.22.23.24.25.26.27.That's why today, I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your educationyou have to let them teach you.You have to let them show you what to do differently next time.If you get in trouble, that doesn't mean you're a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to behave.If you get a bad grade, that doesn't mean you're stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.No one's born being good at things, you become good at things through hard work.You're not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport.You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song.You've got to practice.It's the same with your schoolwork.You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right, or read something a few times before you understand it, or do a few drafts of a paper before it's good enough to hand in.Don't be afraid to ask questions.Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.I do that every day.Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a 28.29.30.31.32.sign of strength.It shows you have the courage to admit when you don't know something, and to learn something new.So find an adult you trustand ask them to help you stay on track to meet yourgoals.And even when you're struggling, even when you're discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on youdon't let your family or your country or yourself down.Make us all proud.I know you can do it.Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.第二篇：奥巴马_my_education_my_future_的英文演讲稿Good morning,I would like to extend a warm welcome to president Barak Obama, secretary of Education ,Ally Dunken,White House staff,school board members,county board members, super intendent Dr.Patrid Muffi, Senior staff, Principal Rudolph Jackson，Wakefield faculty，and of course, my fellow classmates.I am honored to have been chosen to speak before my classmates as well as students across America today.Over the past three years, I have taken the advantage of every academic, extracurricular and community opportunity that has been presented to me.As I the scholar wrinting glad the better,being assigned to another class was an option.I was determined to excel.Therefore,I managed to succeed with an advancing class And maintaining focus along As I stand before my I want you to know that maybe handed to us,but as students, we must take responsibility for our future.We must take the ownership about what we want to learn.As senior The opportunitities, I would not be standing here before you to introduce the president of the United States as I not hereJust we are fortune to have president Barak Obama T o speak to us.We are also fortune toAt this time, it is a great honor and pride to have everyone to stand to welcome the man who proved Yes,we dies and gentlemen ,please join me to welcome the president of the United States of America, Barak Obama.Hello everyoneand noneof it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities.Unless you show up to those schools;unless you pay attention to those teachers;unless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults;and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.And that's what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.Every single one of you has something that you're good at.Every single one of you has something to offer.And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is.That's the opportunity an education can provide.Maybe you could be a great writerbut you might not know it until you write that English class paper that assigned to you.Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventorbut you might not know it until you do your project for your science class.Maybe you could be a mayor or a Senator or a Supreme Court Justice, but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.And no matter what you want to do with your lifeif you quit on schoolwhat you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you've got going on at homehundreds of extra hoursand to do everything you can to meet them.Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending time each day reading a book.Maybe you'll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community.Maybe you'll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all kids deserve a safe environment to study and learn.Maybe you'll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn.And along those lines, I hope you'll all wash your handsa lot, and stay home from school when you don't feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.Whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it.I want you to really work at it.I know that sometimes, you get the sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work--that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star, when chances are, you're not going to be any of those things.But the truth is, being successful is hard.You won't love every subject you study.You won't click with every teacher.Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right this minute.And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.That's OK.Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who've had the most failures.JK Rowling's first Harry Potter book was rejected twelve times before it was finally published.Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career.But he once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life.And that is why I succeed.”These people succeeded because they understand that you can't let your failures define youa parent, grandparent or teacher;a coach or counselordon't ever give up on yourself.Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.The story of America isn't about people who quit when things got tough.It's about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.It's the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and found this nation.Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war;who fought for civilrights and put a man on the moon.Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google, Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.So today, I want to ask you, what's your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a president who comes here in twenty or fifty or one hundred years say about what all of you did for this country? Your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions.I'm working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books, equipment and computers you need to learn.But you've got to do your part too.So I expect you to get serious this year.I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do.I expect great things from each of you.So don't let us down-don't let your family or your country or yourself down.Make us all proud.I know you can do it.Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.第三篇：奥巴马英文演讲稿奥巴马英文演讲稿：签署金融改革法案THE PRESIDENT: Well, good morning, everyone.AUDIENCE: Good morning.THE PRESIDENT: We are gathered in the heart of our nation’s capital, surrounded by memorials to leaders and citizens who served our nation in its earliest days and in its days of greatest trial.Today is such a time for America.Over the past two years, we have faced the worst recession since the Great Depression.Eight million people lost their jobs.Tens of millions saw the value of their homes and retirement savings plummet.Countless businesses have been unable to get the loans they need and many have been forced to shut their doors.And although the economy is growing again, too many people arestill feeling the pain of the downturn.Now, while a number of factors led to such a severe recession, the primary cause was a breakdown in our financial system.It was a crisis born of a failure of responsibility from certain corners of Wall Street to the halls of power in Washington.For years, our financial sector was governed by antiquated and poorly enforced rules that allowed some to game the system and take risks that endangered the entire economy.Unscrupulous lenders locked consumers into complex loans with hidden costs.Firms like AIG placed massive, risky bets with borrowed money.And while the rules left abuse and excess unchecked, they also left taxpayers on the hook if a big bank or financial institution ever failed.Now, even before the crisis hit, I went to Wall Street and I called for common-sense reforms to protect consumers and our economy as a whole.And soon after taking office, I proposed a set of reforms to empower consumers and investors, to bring the shadowy deals that caused this crisis into the light of day, and to put a stop to taxpayer bailouts once and for all.(Applause.)Today, thanks to a lot of people in this room, those reforms will become the law of the land.For the last year, Chairmen Barney Frank and Chris Dodd have worked day and night--(applause)--Barney and Chris have worked day and night to bring about this reform.And I am profoundly grateful to them.I would be remiss if I didn't also express my appreciation to Senator Harry Reid and Speaker Nancy Pelosi for their leadership.It wouldn’t have happened without them.(Applause.)Passing this bill was no easy task.To get there, we had to overcome the furious lobbying of an array of powerful interest groups and a partisan minority determined to block change.So the members who are here today, both on the stage and in the audience, they have done a great service indevoting so much time and expertise to this effort, to looking out for the public interests and not the special interests.(Applause.)And I also want to thank the three Republican senators who put partisanship aside--(applause)--judged this bill on t he merits, and voted for reform.We’re grateful to them.(Applause.)And the Republican House members.(Applause.)Good to see you, Joe.(Applause.)Now, let’s put this in perspective.The fact is, the financial industry is central to our nation’s ability to grow, to prosper, to compete and to innovate.There are a lot of banks that understand and fulfill this vital role, and there are a whole lot of bankers who want to do right--and do right--by their customers.This reform will help foster innovation, not hamper it.It is designed to make sure that everybody follows the same set of rules, so that firms compete on price and quality, not on tricks and not on traps.It demands accountability and responsibility from everyone.It provides certainty to everybody, from bankers to farmers to business owners to consumers.And unless your business model depends on cutting corners or bilking your customers, you’ve got nothing to fear from reform.(Applause.)Now, for all those Americans who are wondering what Wall Street reform means for you, here’s what you can expect.If you’ve ever applied for a credit card, a student loan, or a mortgage, you know the feeling of signing your name to pages of barely understandable fine print.What often happens as a result is that many Americans are caught by hidden fees and penalties, or saddled with loans they can’t afford.That’s what happened to Robin Fox, hit with a massive rate increase on her credit card balance even though she paid her bills on time.That’s what happened to Andrew Giordano, who discovered hundreds of dollars in overdraft feeson his bank statement –-fees he had no idea he might face.Both are here today.Well, with this law, unfair rate hikes, like the one that hit Robin, will end for good.(Applause.)And we’ll ensure that people lik e Andrew aren’t unwittingly caught by overdraft fees when they sign up for a checking account.(Applause.)With this law, we’ll crack down on abusive practices in the mortgage industry.We’ll make sure that contracts are simpler-– putting an end to many hidden penalties and fees in complex mortgages-–so folks know what they’re signing.With this law, students who take out college loans will be provided clear and concise information about their obligations.And with this law, ordinary investors-– like seniors and folks saving for retirement –-will be able to receive more information about the costs and risks of mutual funds and other investment products, so that they can make better financial decisions as to what will work for them.So, all told, these reforms represent the strongest consumer financial protections in history.(Applause.)In history.And these protections will be enforced by a new consumer watchdog with just one job: looking out for people-–not big banks, not lenders, not investment houses-– looking out for people as they interact with the financial system.And that’s not just good for consumers;that’s good for the economy.Because reform will put a stop to a lot of the bad loans that fueled a debt-based bubble.And it will mean all companies will have to seek customers by offering better products, instead of more deceptive ones.Now, beyond the consumer protections I’ve outlined, reform will also rein in the abuse and excess that nearly brought down our financial system.It will finally bring transparency to the kinds of complex and risky transactions that helped trigger the financial crisis.Shareholders will also have a greater say on thepay of CEOs and other executives, so they can reward success instead of failure.And finally, because of this law, the American people will never again be asked to foot the bill for Wall Street’s mistakes.(Applause.)There will be no more tax-funded bailouts--period.(Applause.)If a large financial institution should ever fail, this reform gives us the ability to wind it down without endangering the broader economy.And there will be new rules to make clear that no firm is somehow protected because it is “too big to fail,” so we don’t have another AIG.That's what this reform will mean.Now, it doesn’t mean our work is over.For these new rules to be effective, regulators will have to be vigilant.We may need to make adjustments along the way as our financial system adapts to these new changes and changes around the globe.No law can force anybody to be responsible;it’s still incumben t on those on Wall Street to heed the lessons of this crisis in terms of how they conduct their businesses.The fact is every American-– from Main Street to Wall Street –-has a stake in our financial system.Wall Street banks and firms invest the capital that makes it possible for start-ups to sell new products.They provide loans to businesses to expand and to hire.They back mortgages for families purchasing a new home.That’s why we’ll all stand to gain from these reforms.We all win when investors around the world have confidence in our markets.We all win when shareholders have more power and more information.We all win when consumers are protected against abuse.And we all win when folks are rewarded based on how well they perform, not how well they evade accountability.In the end, our financial system only works –-our market is only free –-when there are clear rules and basic safeguards that prevent abuse, that check excess, that ensure that it is more profitable toplay by the rules than to game the system.An d that’s what these reforms are designed to achieve--no more, no less.Because that’s how we will ensure that our economy works for consumers, that it works for investors, that it works for financial institutions-– that it works for all of us.This is the central lesson not only of this crisis but of our history.Ultimately, there’s no dividing line between Main Street and Wall Street.We rise or fall together as one nation.So these reforms will help lift our economy and lead all of us to a stronger, more prosperous future.And that’s why I’m so honored to sign these reforms into law, and I’m so grateful to everybody who worked so hard to make this day possible.Thank you very much, everybody.(Applause.)(The bill is signed.)(Applause.)【相关中文报道】美国当地时间21日，美国金融监管进入新的时代。

THE PRESIDENT: Hello, ev ery body! Thank y ou. Thank y ou. Thank y ou, ev ery body. All right, ev ery body go ahead and hav e a seat. How is ev ery body doing today? (Applause. How about Tim Spicer? (Applause. I am here with students at Wakef ield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we'v e got students tuning in f rom all across America, f rom kindergarten through 12th grade. And I am jus t so glad that all could join us today. And I want to thank Wakef ield f or being such an outstanding host. Giv e y ourselv es a big ro und of applause. (Applause.I know that f or many of you, today is the f irst day of school. And f or those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or hi gh school, it's y our first day in a new school, so it's understandable if y ou're a little nerv ous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are f eeling pretty good right now -- (applause -- with just one more y ear to go. And no matter what grade y ou're in, some of y ou are probably wishing it were still summer and y ou could'v e stay ed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.I know that f eeling. When I was y oung, my f amily liv ed ov erseas. I liv ed in Indonesia f or a f ew y ears. And my mother, she did n't hav e the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important f or me to keep up with an American education. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday. But because she had to go to work, the on ly time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.Now, as y ou might imagine, I wasn't too happy about getting up that early. And a lot of times, I'd f all asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenev er I'd complain, my mother would just giv e me one of those looks and she'd say, "This is no picnic f or me either, buster." (Laughter.So I know that some of y ou are still adjusting to being back at school. But I'm here today because I hav e something important to discuss with y ou. I'm here because I want to talk with y ou about your education and what's expected of all of you in this newschool y ear. Now, I'v e giv en a lot of speeches about education. And I'v e talked about responsibility a lot.I'v e talked about teachers' responsibility f or inspiring students and pushing y ou to learn.I'v e talked about y our parents' responsibility f or making sure y ou stay on track, and y ou get y our homework done, and don't spend ev ery waking hour in f ront of the TV or with the Xbox.I'v e talked a lot about y our gov ernment's responsibility for setting high standards, and supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren't working, where students aren't getting the opportunities that they deserv e.But at the end of the day, we can hav e the most dedicated teachers, the most supportiv e parents, the best schools in the worl d -- and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of y ou f ulfill y our responsibilities, unless y ou show up to those schools, unless y ou pay attention to those teachers, unless y ou listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed. That's what I want to f ocus on today: the responsibility each of y ou has f or your education.I want to start with the responsibility y ou hav e to y ourself. Ev ery single one of y ou has something that y ou're good at. Ev ery single one of y ou has something to offer. And y ou hav e a responsibility to y ourself to discov er what that is. That's the opportunity an education can prov ide.May be y ou could be a great writer -- may be ev en good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper -- but y ou might not know it until y ou write that English paper -- that English class paper that's assigned to y ou. May be y ou could be an innov ator or an inv entor -- may be ev en good enough to come up with the next iPhone or the newmedicine or v accine -- but y ou might not know it until y ou do y our project f or y our science class. May be you could be a may or or a senator or a Supreme Court justice -- but y ou might not know that until y ou join student gov ernment or the debate team.And no matter what y ou want to do with y our lif e, I guarantee that y ou'll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police off icer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawy er or a member of our military? You're going to need a good education f or ev ery single one of those careers. You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You'v e got to train f or it and work f or it and learn f or it.And this isn't just important f or y our own lif e and y our own f uture. What y ou make of y our education will decide nothing less than the f uture of this country. The f uture of America depends on y ou. What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the f uture.You'll need the knowledge and problem-solv ing skills y ou learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and todev elop new energy technologies and protect our env ironment. You'll need the insights and critical-thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight pov erty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more f air and more f ree. You'll need the creativ ity and ingenuity y ou dev elop in all y our classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.We need ev ery single one of y ou to dev elop y our talents and y our skills and y our intellect so y ou can help us old f olks solv e our most difficult problems. If y ou don't do that -- if y ou quit on school -- y ou're not just quitting on y ourself, y ou're quitting on y our country. Now, I know it's not alway s easy to do well in school. I know a lot of y ou hav e challenges in y our liv es right now that can m ake it hard to f ocus on y our schoolwork.I get it. I know what it's like. My f ather left my f amily when I was two y ears old, and I was raised by a single mom who had to work and who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't alway s able to giv e us the things that other kids had. There were times wh en I missed hav ing a f ather in my lif e. There were times when I was lonely and I felt like I didn't f it in.So I wasn't always as focused as I should hav e been on school, and I did some things I'm not proud of, and I got in more trou ble than I should hav e. And my lif e could hav e easily taken a turn f or the worse.But I was -- I was lucky. I got a lot of second chances, and I had the opportunity to go to college and law school and f ollow my dreams. My wif e, our First Lady Michelle Obama, she has a similar story. Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn't hav e a lot of money. But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.Some of y ou might not hav e those adv antages. May be y ou don't hav e adults in y our life who giv e y ou the support that y ou need. May be someone in y our f amily has lost their job and there's not enough money to go around. May be y ou liv e in a neighborhood where y ou don't f eel saf e, or hav e friends who are pressuring y ou to do things y ou know aren't right.But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your lif e -- what y ou look like, where y ou come f rom, how much money y ou hav e, what y ou'v e got going on at home -- none of that is an excuse f or neglecting y our homework or hav ing a bad attitude in school. That's no excuse f or talking back to y our teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school. There is no excuse f or not try ing.Where y ou are right now doesn't hav e to determine where y ou'll end up. No one's written y our destiny f or you, because here in America, y ou write y our own destiny. You make y our own f uture.That's what y oung people like y ou are doing ev ery day, all across America.Young people like Jazmin Perez, f rom Roma, T exas. Jazmin didn't speak English when she f irst started school. Neither of her p arents had gone to college. But she worked hard, earned good grades, and got a scholarship to Brown Univ ersity -- is now in graduate school, study ing public health, on her way to becoming Dr. Jazmin Perez.I'm thinking about Andoni Schultz, f rom Los Altos, Calif ornia, who's fought brain cancer since he was three. He's had to endure all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which aff ected his memory, so it took him much longer -- hundreds of extra hours -- to do his schoolwork. But he nev er f ell behind. He's headed to college this fall.And then there's Shantell Stev e, f rom my hometown of Chicago, Illinois. Ev en when bouncing f rom f oster home to f oster home in the toughest neighborhoods in the city, she managed to get a job at a local health care center, start a program to keep y oung people out of gangs, and she's on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college.And Jazmin, Andoni, and Shantell aren't any different f rom any of y ou. They f ace challenges in their liv es just like y ou do. In some cases they'v e got it a lot worse off than many of y ou. But they ref used to giv e up. They chose to take responsibility for their liv es, f or their education, and set goals for themselv es. And I expect all of y ou to do the same.That's why today I'm calling on each of y ou to set y our own goals f or y our education -- and do ev erything y ou can to meet them. Your goal can be something as simple as doing all y our homework, pay ing attention in class, or spending some time each day reading a book. May be y ou'll decide to get inv olv ed in an extracurricular activ ity, or v olunteer in y our community. May be y ou'll decide to stand up f or kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because y ou believ e, like I do, that all y oung people deserv e a saf e env ironment to study and learn.May be y ou'll decide to take better care of y ourself so y ou can be more ready to learn. And along those lines, by the way, I hope all of y ou are washing y our hands a lot, and that y ou stay home f rom school when y ou don't f eel well, so we can keep people f rom getting the flu this f all and winter.But whatev er y ou resolv e to do, I want y ou to commit to it. I want y ou to really work at it.I know that sometimes y ou get that sense f rom TV that y ou can be rich and successf ul without any hard work -- that y our ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star. Chances are y ou're not going to be any of those things.The truth is, being successful is hard. You won't lov e ev ery subject that y ou study. You won't click with ev ery teacher that y ou hav e. Not ev ery homework assignmentwill seem completely relev ant to y our lif e right at this minute. And y ou won't necessarily succeed at ev erything the f irst time y ou try.That's okay. Some of the most successf ul people in the world are the ones who'v e had the most f ailures. J.K. Rowling's -- who wrote Harry Potter -- her f irst Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times bef ore it was f inally published. Michael Jordan was cut f rom his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, "I hav e failed ov er and ov er and ov er again in my lif e. And that's why I succeed."These people succeeded because they understood that y ou can't let y our f ailures def ine y ou -- y ou hav e to let y our f ailures teach y ou. You hav e to let them show you what to do diff erently the next time. So if y ou get into trouble, that doesn't mean you're a tr oublemaker, it means y ou need to try harder to act right. If y ou get a bad grade, that doesn't mean y ou're stupid, it just means y ou need to spend more time study ing.No one's born being good at all things. You become good at things through hard work. You're not a v arsity athlete the first t ime y ou play a new sport. You don't hit ev ery note the f irst time y ou sing a song. You'v e got to practice. The same principle applies to y our schoolwork. You might hav e to do a math problem a f ew times bef ore y ou get it right. You might hav e to read something a f ew t imes bef ore y ou understand it. You def initely hav e to do a f ew draf ts of a paper bef ore it's good enough to hand in.Don't be af raid to ask questions. Don't be af raid to ask f or help when y ou need it. I do that ev ery day. Asking f or help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength because it shows y ou hav e the courage to admit when y ou don't know something, and that then allows y ou to learn something new. So f ind an adult that y ou trust -- a parent, a grandparent or teacher, a coach or a counselor -- and ask them to help y ou stay on track to meet y our goals.And ev en when y ou're struggling, ev en when y ou're discouraged, and y ou f eel like other people hav e giv en up on y ou, don't ev er giv e up on y ourself, because when y ou giv e up on y ourself, y ou giv e up on y our country.The story of America isn't about people who quit when things got tough. It's about people who kept going, who tried harder, who lov ed their country too much to do any thing less than their best.It's the story of students who sat where y ou sit 250 y ears ago, and went on to wage a rev olution and they f ounded this nation. Young people. Students who sat where y ou sit 75 years ago who ov ercame a Depression and won a world war; who f ought f or civil right s and put a man on the moon. Students who sat where y ou sit 20 years ago who f ounded Google and Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.So today, I want to ask all of y ou, what's y our contribution going to be? What problems are y ou going to solv e? What discov er ies will y ou make? What will aPresident who comes here in 20 or 50 or 100 y ears say about what all of y ou did f or this country?Now, y our f amilies, y our teachers, and I are doing ev erything we can to make sure y ou hav e the education y ou need to answer t hese questions. I'm working hard to f ix up y our classrooms and get y ou the books and the equipment and the computers y ou need to learn. But y ou'v e got to do y our part, too. So I expect all of y ou to get serious this y ear. I expect you to put y our best effort in to ev ery thing y ou do. I expect great things f rom each of you. So don't let us down. Don't let y our f amily down or y our country down. Most of all, don't let y ourself down. Make us all proud.Thank y ou v ery much, ev ery body. God bless y ou. God bless America. Thank y ou. (Applause.。
英语演讲原文：奥巴马演讲 Letting Wall Street Run Wild Again
奥巴马演讲 Letting Wall Street Run WildAgainRemarks of President Barack ObamaSaturday, October 23, 2010Weekly AddressWashington, DCOver the past two years, we’ve won a number of battles to defend the interests of the middle class. One of the most important victories we achieved was the passage of Wall Street Reform.This was a bill designed to rein 1 in（控制，放慢） the secret deals and reckless（鲁莽的） gambling 2 that nearly brought down the financial system. It set new rules so that taxpayers 3 would never again be on the hook for a bailout （紧急救助，跳伞） if a big financial company went under. And reform included the strongest consumer protections in history – to put an end to a lot of the hiddenfees, deceptive 4 （欺诈的，迷惑的） mortgages, and other abusive（辱骂的，滥用的） practices used to tilt 5 the tables against ordinary people in their financial dealings.It was a tough fight. The special interests poured millions into a lobbying（游说） campaign to prevent us from reforming the system – a system that worked a lot better for them than for middle class families. Some in the financial industry were eager to protect a status quo（现状） that basically allowed them to play by their own rules. And these interests held common cause with Republican leaders in Washington who were looking to score a political victory in an election year.But their efforts failed. And we succeeded in passing reform in the hopes of ensuring that we never again face a crisis like the one we’ve been through – a crisis that unleashed 6 （释放，解放） an economic downturn as deep as any since the Great Depression. Even today, we are still digging out of the damage it unleashed on the economy. Millions of people are still out of work. Millions of families are still hurting.We’re also seeing the reverberations（反响，混响） of this crisis with the rise in foreclosures. And recently, we’ve seen problems in foreclosure proceedings 7 – mistakes that have led to disruptions in the housing markets. This is only one more piece of evidence as to why Wall Street Reform is so necessary. In fact, as part of reform, a new consumer watchdog is now standing 8 up. It will have just one job: looking out for ordinary consumers in the financialsystem. And this watchdog will have the authority to guard against unfair practices in mortgage transactions and foreclosures.Yet despite the importance of this law – and despite the terrible economic dislocation caused by the failures in our financial system under the old rules – top Republicans in Congress are now beating the drum to repeal 9 （废除，撤销）all of these reforms and consumer protections. Recently, one of the Republican leaders in the Senate said that if Republicans take charge of Congress, repeal would be one of the first orders of business. And he joins the top Republicanin the House who actually called for the law to be repealed 10 even before it passed.I think that would be a terrible mistake. Our economy depends on a financial system in which everyone competes on a level playing field, and everyone is held to the same rules –whether you’re a big bank, a small business owner, or a family looking to buy a house or open a credit card. And as we saw, without sound oversight 11 and common-sense protections for consumers, the whole economy is put in jeopardy 12 （危险） . That doesn’t serve MainStreet. That doesn’t serve Wall Street. That does n’t serve anyone. And that’s why I think it’s so important that we not take this country backward –that we don’t go back to the broken system we had before. We’ve got to keep moving forward.Thanks.■文章重点单词注释：1reinn.疆绳，统治，支配；vt.以僵绳控制，统治参考例句：The horse answered to the slightest pull on the rein.只要缰绳轻轻一拉,马就作出反应。
迈克尔·杰克逊2019年牛津英语演讲稿_英语演讲稿_
迈克尔·杰克逊2019年牛津英语演讲稿Heal The Kids – Oxford SpeechOxford University, March 2019 by Michael JacksonThank you, thank you dear friends, from the bottom of my heart, for such a loving and spirited welcome, and thank you, Mr President, for your kind invitation to me which I am so honored to accept. I also want to express a special thanks to you Shmuley, who for 11 years served as Rabbi here at Oxford. You and I have been working so hard to form Heal the Kids, as well as writing our book about childlike qualities, and in all of our efforts you have been such a supportive and loving friend. And I would also like to thank Toba Friedman, our director of operations at Heal the Kids, who is returning tonight to the alma mater where she served as a Marshall scholar, as well as Marilyn Piels, another central member of our Heal the Kids team.I am humbled to be lecturing in a place that has previously been filled by such notable figures as Mother Theresa, Albert Einstein, Ronald Reagan, Robert Kennedy and Malcolm X. I've even heard that Kermit the Frog has made an appearance here, and I've always felt a kinship with Kermit's message that it's not easy being green. I'm sure he didn't find it any easier being up here than I do!As I looked around Oxford today, I couldn't help but be aware of the majesty and grandeur of this great institution, not to mention the brilliance of the great and gifted minds that have roamed these streets for centuries. The walls of Oxford have not only housed the greatest philosophical and scientific geniuses –they have also ushered forth some of the most cherished creators of children's literature, from J.R.R. T olkien to CS Lewis. T oday I wasallowed to hobble into the dining hall in Christ Church to see Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland immortalized in the stained glass windows. And even one of my own fellow Americans, the beloved Dr Seuss graced these halls and then went on to leave his mark on the imaginations of millions of children throughout the world.I suppose I should start by listing my qualifications to speak before you this evening. Friends, I do not claim to have the academic expertise of other speakers who have addressed this hall, just as they could lay little claim at being adept at the moonwalk –and you know, Einstein in particular was really TERRIBLE at that.But I do have a claim to having experienced more places and cultures than most people will ever see. Human knowledge consists not only of libraries of parchment and ink –it is also comprised of the volumes of knowledge that are written on the human heart, chiseled on the human soul, and engraved on the human psyche. And friends, I have encountered so much in this relatively short life of mine that I still cannot believe I am chiseled only 42. I often tell Shmuley that in soul years I'm sure that I'm at least 80 – and tonight I even walk like I'm 80! So please harken to my message, because what I have to tell you tonight can bring healing to humanity and healing to our planet.Through the grace of God, I have been fortunate to have achieved many of my artistic and professional aspirations realized early in my lifetime. But these, friends are accomplishments, and accomplishments alone are not synonymous with who I am. Indeed, the cheery five-year-old who belted out Rockin' Robin and Ben to adoring crowds was not indicative of the boy behind the smile.Tonight, I come before you less as an icon of pop (whatever that means anyway), and more as an icon of a generation, a generation that no longer knows what it means to be children.All of us are products of our childhood. But I am the product of a lack of a childhood, an absence of that precious and wondrous age when we frolic playfully without a care in the world, basking in the adoration of parents and relatives, where our biggest concern is studying for that big spelling test come Monday morning.Those of you who are familiar with the Jackson Five know that I began performing at the tender age of five and that ever since then, I haven't stopped dancing or singing. But while performing and making music undoubtedly remain as some of my greatest joys, when I was young I wanted more than anything else to be a typical little boy. I wanted to build tree houses, have water balloon fights, and play hide and seek with my friends. But fate had it otherwise and all I could do was envy the laughter and playtime that seemed to be going on all around me.There was no respite from my professional life. But on Sundays I would go Pioneering, the term used for the missionary work that Jehovah's Witnesses do. And it was then that I was able to see the magic of other people's childhood.Since I was already a celebrity, I would have to don a disguise of fat suit, wig, beard and glasses and we would spend the day in the suburbs of Southern California, going door-to-door or making the rounds of shopping malls, distributing our Watchtower magazine. I loved to set foot in all those regular suburban houses and catch sight of the shag rugs and La-Z-Boy armchairs with kids playing Monopoly and grandmas baby-sitting and all those wonderful, ordinary and starry scenes ofeveryday life. Many, I know, would argue that these things seem like no big deal. But to me they were mesmerizing.I used to think that I was unique in feeling that I was withouta childhood. I believed that indeed there were only a handful with whom I could share those feelings. When I recently met with Shirley Temple Black, the great child star of the 1930s and 40s, we said nothing to each other at first, we simply cried together, for she could share a pain with me that only others like my close friends Elizabeth T aylor and McCauley Culkin know.I do not tell you this to gain your sympathy but to impress upon you my first important point : It is not just Hollywood child stars that have suffered from a non-existent childhood. Today, it's a universal calamity, a global catastrophe. Childhood has become the great casualty of modern-day living. All around us we are producing scores of kids who have not had the joy, who have not been accorded the right, who have not been allowed the freedom, or knowing what it's like to be a kid.Today children are constantly encouraged to grow up faster, as if this period known as childhood is a burdensome stage, to be endured and ushered through, as swiftly as possible. And on that subject, I am certainly one of the world's greatest experts.Ours is a generation that has witnessed the abrogation of the parent-child covenant. Psychologists are publishing libraries of books detailing the destructive effects of denying one's children the unconditional love that is so necessary to the healthy development of their minds and character. And because of all the neglect, too many of our kids have, essentially, to raise themselves. They are growing more distant from their parents, grandparents and other family members, as all around us the indestructible bond that once glued together the generations,unravels.This violation has bred a new generation, Generation O let us call it, that has now picked up the torch from Generation X. The O stands for a generation that has everything on the outside – wealth, success, fancy clothing and fancy cars, but an aching emptiness on the inside. That cavity in our chests, that barrenness at our core, that void in our centre is the place where the heart once beat and which love once occupied.And it's not just the kids who are suffering. It's the parents as well. For the more we cultivate little-adults in kids'-bodies, the more removed we ourselves become from our own child-like qualities, and there is so much about being a child that is worth retaining in adult life.Love, ladies and gentlemen, is the human family's most precious legacy, its richest bequest, its golden inheritance. And it is a treasure that is handed down from one generation to another. Previous ages may not have had the wealth we enjoy. Their houses may have lacked electricity, and they squeezed their many kids into small homes without central heating. But those homes had no darkness, nor were they cold. They were lit bright with the glow of love and they were warmed snugly by the very heat of the human heart. Parents, undistracted by the lust for luxury and status, accorded their children primacy in their lives.As you all know, our two countries broke from each other over what Thomas Jefferson referred to as "certain inalienable rights". And while we Americans and British might dispute the justice of his claims, what has never been in dispute is that children have certain inalienable rights, and the gradual erosion of those rights has led to scores of children worldwide being denied the joys and security of childhood.I would therefore like to propose tonight that we install in every home a Children's Universal Bill of Rights, the tenets of which are:1. The right to be loved without having to earn it2. The right to be protected, without having to deserve it3. The right to feel valuable, even if you came into the world with nothing4. The right to be listened to without having to be interesting5. The right to be read a bedtime story, without having to compete with the evening news6. The right to an education without having to dodge bullets at schools7. The right to be thought of as adorable – (even if you havea face that only a mother could love).Friends, the foundation of all human knowledge, the beginning of human consciousness, must be that each and every one of us is an object of love. Before you know if you have red hair or brown, before you know if you are black or white, before you know of what religion you are a part, you have to know that you are loved.About twelve years ago, when I was just about to start my Bad tour, a little boy came with his parents to visit me at home in California. He was dying of cancer and he told me how much he loved my music and me. His parents told me that he wasn't going to live, that any day he could just go, and I said to him: "Look, I am going to be coming to your town in Kansas to open my tour in three months. I want you to come to the show. I am going to give you this jacket that I wore in one of my videos." His eyes lit up and he said: "You are gonna GIVE it to me?" I said "Yeah, but you have to promise that you will wear it to the show." I wastrying to make him hold on. I said: "When you come to the show I want to see you in this jacket and in this glove" and I gave him one of my rhinestone gloves –and I never usually give the rhinestone gloves away. And he was just in heaven.But maybe he was too close to heaven, because when I came to his town, he had already died, and they had buried him in the glove and jacket. He was just 10 years old. God knows, I know, that he tried his best to hold on. But at least when he died, he knew that he was loved, not only by his parents, but even by me, a near stranger, I also loved him. And with all of that love he knew that he didn't come into this world alone, and he certainly didn't leave it alone.If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can he dealt with. A professor may degrade you, but you will not feel degraded, a boss may crush you, but you will not be crushed, a corporate gladiator might vanquish you, but you will still triumph. How could any of them truly prevail in pulling you down? For you know that you are an object worthy of love. The rest is just packaging.But if you don't have that memory of being loved, you are condemned to search the world for something to fill you up. But no matter how much money you make or how famous you become, you will still fell empty. What you are really searching for is unconditional love, unqualified acceptance. And that was the one thing that was denied to you at birth.Friends, let me paint a picture for you. Here is a typical day in America – six youths under the age of 20 will commit suicide, 12 children under the age of 20 will die from firearms – remember this is a DAY, not a year – 399 kids will be arrested for drug abuse,1,352 babies will be born to teen mothers. This is happening in one of the richest, most developed countries in the history of the world.Yes, in my country there is an epidemic of violence that parallels no other industrialized nation. These are the ways young people in America express their hurt and their anger. But don't think that there is not the same pain and anguish among their counterparts in the United Kingdom. Studies in this country show that every single hour, three teenagers in the UK inflict harm upon themselves, often by cutting or burning their bodies or taking an overdose. This is how they have chosen to cope with the pain of neglect and emotional agony.In Britain, as many as 20% of families will only sit down and have dinner together once a year. Once a year! And what about the time-honored tradition of reading your kid a bedtime story? Research from the 1980s showed that children who are read to, had far greater literacy and significantly outperformed their peers at school. And yet, less than 33% of British children ages two to eight have a regular bedtime story read to them. You may not think much of that until you take into account that 75% of their parents DID have that bedtime story when they were that age.Clearly, we do not have to ask ourselves where all of this pain, anger and violent behavior comes from. It is self-evident that children are thundering against the neglect, quaking against the indifference and crying out just to be noticed. The various child protection agencies in the US say that millions of children are victims of maltreatment in the form of neglect, in the average year. Yes, neglect. In rich homes, privileged homes, wired to the hilt with every electronic gadget. Homes where parents comehome, but they're not really home, because their heads are still at the office. And their kids? Well, their kids just make do with whatever emotional crumbs they get. And you don't get much from endless TV, computer games and videos.These hard, cold numbers which for me, wrench the soul and shake the spirit, should indicate to you why I have devoted so much of my time and resources into making our new Heal the Kids initiative a colossal success.Our goal is simple – to recreate the parent/child bond, renew its promise and light the way forward for all the beautiful children who are destined one day to walk this earth.But since this is my first public lecture, and you have so warmly welcomed me into your hearts, I feel that I want to tell you more. We each have our own story, and in that sense statistics can become personal.They say that parenting is like dancing. You take one step, your child takes another. I have discovered that getting parents to re-dedicate themselves to their children is only half the story. The other half is preparing the children to re-accept their parents.When I was very young I remember that we had this crazy mutt of a dog named "Black Girl," a mix of wolf and retriever. Not only wasn't she much of a guard dog, she was such a scared and nervous thing that it is a wonder she did not pass out every time a truck rumbled by, or a thunderstorm swept through Indiana. My sister Janet and I gave that dog so much love, but we never really won back the sense of trust that had been stolen from her by her previous owner. We knew he used to beat her. We didn't know with what. But whatever it was, it was enough to suck the spirit right out of that dog.A lot of kids today are hurt puppies who have weanedthemselves off the need for love. They couldn't care less about their parents. Left to their own devices, they cherish their independence. They have moved on and have left their parents behind.Then there are the far worse cases of children who harbor animosity and resentment toward their parents, so that any overture that their parents might undertake would be thrown forcefully back in their face.Tonight, I don't want any of us to make this mistake. That's why I'm calling upon all the world's children – beginning with all of us here tonight – to forgive our parents, if we felt neglected. Forgive them and teach them how to love again.You probably weren't surprised to hear that I did not have an idyllic childhood. The strain and tension that exists in my relationship with my own father is well documented. My father is a tough man and he pushed my brothers and me hard, from the earliest age, to be the best performers we could be.He had great difficulty showing affection. He never really told me he loved me. And he never really complimented me either. If I did a great show, he would tell me it was a good show. And if I did an OK show, he told me it was a lousy show.He seemed intent, above all else, on making us a commercial success. And at that he was more than adept. My father was a managerial genius and my brothers and I owe our professional success, in no small measure, to the forceful way that he pushed us. He trained me as a showman and under his guidance I couldn't miss a step.But what I really wanted was a Dad. I wanted a father who showed me love. And my father never did that. He never said I love you while looking me straight in the eye, he never played agame with me. He never gave me a piggyback ride, he never threw a pillow at me, or a water balloon.But I remember once when I was about four years old, there was a little carnival and he picked me up and put me on a pony. It was a tiny gesture, probably something he forgot five minutes later. But because of that moment I have this special place in my heart for him. Because that's how kids are, the little things mean so much to them and for me, that one moment meant everything.I only experienced it that one time, but it made me feel really good, about him and the world.But now I am a father myself, and one day I was thinking about my own children, Prince and Paris and how I wanted them to think of me when they grow up. T o be sure, I would like them to remember how I always wanted them with me wherever I went, how I always tried to put them before everything else. But there are also challenges in their lives. Because my kids are stalked by paparazzi, they can't always go to a park or a movie with me.So what if they grow older and resent me, and how my choices impacted their youth? Why weren't we given an average childhood like all the other kids, they might ask? And at that moment I pray that my children will give me the benefit of the doubt. That they will say to themselves: "Our daddy did the best he could, given the unique circumstances that he faced. He may not have been perfect, but he was a warm and decent man, who tried to give us all the love in the world."I hope that they will always focus on the positive things, on the sacrifices I willingly made for them, and not criticize the things they had to give up, or the errors I've made, and will certainly continue to make, in raising them. For we have all been someone's child, and we know that despite the very best of plansand efforts, mistakes will always occur. That's just being human.And when I think about this, of how I hope that my children will not judge me unkindly, and will forgive my shortcomings, I am forced to think of my own father and despite my earlier denials, I am forced to admit that me must have loved me. He did love me, and I know that.There were little things that showed it. When I was a kid I had a real sweet tooth –we all did. My favorite food was glazed doughnuts and my father knew that. So every few weeks I would come downstairs in the morning and there on the kitchen counter was a bag of glazed doughnuts – no note, no explanation – just the doughnuts. It was like Santa Claus.Sometimes I would think about staying up late at night, so I could see him leave them there, but just like with Santa Claus, I didn't want to ruin the magic for fear that he would never do it again. My father had to leave them secretly at night, so as no one might catch him with his guard down. He was scared of human emotion, he didn't understand it or know how to deal with it. But he did know doughnuts.And when I allow the floodgates to open up, there are other memories that come rushing back, memories of other tiny gestures, however imperfect, that showed that he did what he could. So tonight, rather than focusing on what my father didn't do, I want to focus on all the things he did do and on his own personal challenges. I want to stop judging him.I have started reflecting on the fact that my father grew up in the South, in a very poor family. He came of age during the Depression and his own father, who struggled to feed his children, showed little affection towards his family and raised my father and his siblings with an iron fist. Who could have imagined whatit was like to grow up a poor black man in the South, robbed of dignity, bereft of hope, struggling to become a man in a world that saw my father as subordinate. I was the first black artist to be played on MTV and I remember how big a deal it was even then. And that was in the 80s!My father moved to Indiana and had a large family of his own, working long hours in the steel mills, work that kills the lungs and humbles the spirit, all to support his family. Is it any wonder that he found it difficult to expose his feelings? Is it any mystery that he hardened his heart, that he raised the emotional ramparts? And most of all, is it any wonder why he pushed his sons so hard to succeed as performers, so that they could be saved from what he knew to be a life of indignity and poverty?I have begun to see that even my father's harshness was a kind of love, an imperfect love, to be sure, but love nonetheless. He pushed me because he loved me. Because he wanted no man ever to look down at his offspring.And now with time, rather than bitterness, I feel blessing. In the place of anger, I have found absolution. And in the place of revenge I have found reconciliation. And my initial fury has slowly given way to forgiveness.Almost a decade ago, I founded a charity called Heal the World. The title was something I felt inside me. Little did I know, as Shmuley later pointed out, that those two words form the cornerstone of Old Testament prophecy. Do I really believe that we can heal this world, that is riddled with war and genocide, even today? And do I really think that we can heal our children, the same children who can enter their schools with guns and hatred and shoot down their classmates, like they did at Columbine? Or children who can beat a defenseless toddler todeath, like the tragic story of Jamie Bulger? Of course I do, or I wouldn't be here tonight.But it all begins with forgiveness, because to heal the world, we first have to heal ourselves. And to heal the kids, we first have to heal the child within, each and every one of us. As an adult, and as a parent, I realize that I cannot be a whole human being, nor a parent capable of unconditional love, until I put to rest the ghosts of my own childhood.And that's what I'm asking all of us to do tonight. Live up to the fifth of the Ten Commandments. Honor your parents by not judging them. Give them the benefit of the doubt.That is why I want to forgive my father and to stop judging him. I want to forgive my father, because I want a father, and this is the only one that I've got. I want the weight of my past lifted from my shoulders and I want to be free to step into a new relationship with my father, for the rest of my life, unhindered by the goblins of the past.In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.To all of you tonight who feel let down by your parents, I ask you to let down your disappointment. To all of you tonight who feel cheated by your fathers or mothers, I ask you not to cheat yourself further. And to all of you who wish to push your parents away, I ask you to extend you hand to them instead. I am asking you, I am asking myself, to give our parents the gift of unconditional love, so that they too may learn how to love from us, their children. So that love will finally be restored to a desolate and lonely world.Shmuley once mentioned to me an ancient Biblical prophecy which says that a new world and a new time would come, when "the hearts of the parents would be restored through the hearts of their children." My friends, we are that world, we are those children.Mahatma Gandhi said: "The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong." Tonight, be strong. Beyond being strong, rise to the greatest challenge of all –to restore that broken covenant. We must all overcome whatever crippling effects our childhoods may have had on our lives and in the words of Jesse Jackson, forgive each other, redeem each other and move on.This call for forgiveness may not result in Oprah moments the world over, with thousands of children making up with their parents, but it will at least be a start, and we'll all be so much happier as a result.And so ladies and gentlemen, I conclude my remarks tonight with faith, joy and excitement.From this day forward, may a new song be heard.Let that new song be the sound of children laughing.Let that new song be the sound of children playing.Let that new song be the sound of children singing.And let that new song be the sound of parents listening.Together, let us create a symphony of hearts, marveling at the miracle of our children and basking in the beauty of love.Let us heal the world and blight its pain.And may we all make beautiful music together.God bless you, and I love you.。
奥巴马开学演讲稿英文版
奥巴马开学演讲稿英文版THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat. How is everybody doing today (Applause.) How about Tim Spicer (Applause.) I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we've got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade. And I am just so glad that all could join us today. And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host. Give yourselves a big round of applause. (Applause.)I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it's your first day in a new school, so it's understandable if you're a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now -- (applause) -- with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you're in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could've stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived overseas.I lived in Indonesia for a few years. And my mother, she didn't have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday. But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.Now, as you might imagine, I wasn't too happy about getting up that early. And a lot of times, I'd fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever I'd complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she'd say, "This is no picnic for me either, buster." (Laughter.)So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But I'm here today because I have something important to discuss with you. I'm here because I want to talk with you about your education and what's expected of all of you in this new school year.Now, I've given a lot of speeches about education. And I'vetalked about responsibility a lot.I've talked about teachers' responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.I've talked about your parents' responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and you get your homework done, and don't spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox.I've talked a lot about your government's responsibility for setting high standards, and supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren't working, where students aren't getting the opportunities that they deserve.But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world -- and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you listen to your parents and grandparentsand other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed. That's what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself. Every single one of you has something that you're good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That's the opportunity an education can provide.Maybe you could be a great writer -- maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper -- but you might not know it until you write that English paper -- that English class paper that's assigned to you. Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor -- maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or the new medicine or vaccine -- but you might not know it until you do your project for your science class. Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice -- but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military You're going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You've got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.And this isn't just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. The future of America depends on you. What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.You'll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. You'll need the insights and critical-thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and morefree. You'll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.We need every single one of you to develop your talents and your skills and your intellect so you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems. If you don't do that -- if you quit on school -- you're not just quitting on yourself, you're quitting on your country.Now, I know it's not always easy to do well in school. I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.I get it. I know what it's like. My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mom who had to work and who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us the things that other kids had. There were times when I missed having a father in my life. There were times when I was lonely and I felt like I didn't fit in.So I wasn't always as focused as I should have been on school, and I did some things I'm not proud of, and I got in more trouble than I should have. And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse.But I was -- I was lucky. I got a lot of second chances, and I had the opportunity to go to college and law school and follow my dreams. My wife, our First Lady Michelle Obama, she has a similar story. Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn't have a lot of money. But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.Some of you might not have those advantages. Maybe you don't have adults in your life who give you the support that you need. Maybe someone in your family has lost their job and there's not enough money to go around. Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don't feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren't right.But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life --what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you've got going on at home -- none of that is an excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude in school. That's no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school. There is no excuse for not trying.Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up. No one's written your destiny for you, because here in America, you write your own destiny. You make your own future.That's what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas. Jazmin didn't speak English when she first started school. Neither of her parents had gone to college. But she worked hard, earned good grades, and got a scholarship to Brown University -- is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to becoming Dr. Jazmin Perez.I'm thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who's fought brain cancer since he was three. He's had to endure all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longer -- hundreds of extra hours -- to do his schoolwork. But he never fell behind. He's headed to college this fall.And then there's Shantell Steve, from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois. Even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods in the city, she managed to get a job at a local health care center, start a program to keep young people out of gangs, and she's on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college.And Jazmin, Andoni, and Shantell aren't any different from any of you. They face challenges in their lives just like you do. In some cases they've got it a lot worse off than many of you. But they refused to give up. They chose to take responsibility for their lives, for their education, and set goals for themselves. And I expect all of you to do the same.That's why today I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education -- and do everything you can to meet them. Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time each day reading a book. Maybe you'll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community. Maybe you'll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all young people deserve a safe environment to study and learn. Maybe you'll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn. And along those lines, by the way, I hope all of you are washing your hands a lot, and that you stay home from school when you don't feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.But whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it. I want you to really work at it.I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work -- that your ticketto success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star. Chances are you're not going to be any of those things.The truth is, being successful is hard. You won't love every subject that you study. You won't click with every teacher that you have. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right at this minute. And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.That's okay. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who've had the most failures. . Rowling's -- who wrote Harry Potter -- her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, "I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's why I succeed."These people succeeded because they understood that you can't let your failures define you -- you have to let your failures teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differentlythe next time. So if you get into trouble, that doesn't mean you're a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to act right. If you get a bad grade, that doesn't mean you're stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.No one's born being good at all things. You become good at things through hard work. You're not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport. You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song. You've got to practice. The same principle applies to your schoolwork. You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right. You might have to read something a few times before you understand it. You definitely have to do a few drafts of a paper before it's good enough to hand in.Don't be afraid to ask questions. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength because it shows you have the courage to admit when you don't know something, and that then allows you to learn something new. So find an adult that you trust -- a parent, a grandparent or teacher, a coachor a counselor -- and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.And even when you're struggling, even when you're discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you, don't ever give up on yourself, because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.The story of America isn't about people who quit when things got tough. It's about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.It's the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and they founded this nation. Young people. Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon. Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google and Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.So today, I want to ask all of you, what's your contribution going to be What problems are you going to solve What discoveries will you make What will a President who comes here in 20 or 50 or 100 years say about what all of you did for this countryNow, your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions. I'm working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books and the equipment and the computers you need to learn. But you've got to do your part, too. So I expect all of you to get serious this year. I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. I expect great things from each of you. So don't let us down. Don't let your family down or your country down. Most of all, don't let yourself down. Make us all proud.Thank you very much, everybody. God bless you. God bless America. Thank you. (Applause.)。

2020英国绿党领袖娜塔莉·班尼特年新年英语演讲稿【精品】
Well, it's almost and I want to begin by wishing everybody in Britain a very happy NewYear.For the Green Party, we're looking forward with optimism, confidence and determination. was a huge year for us. We saw our membership more than triple. We saw 1.1 millionvotes in the General Election, more than four times more votes than we've ever won before. Wesaw the return of Caroline Lucas as our brilliant Green MP.So – this is the year in which we need to turn the Green surge into Green votes andthat's what we're determined to do. What we need to do is, up and down the country, providepeople with the real alternative. And that is what we are doing.Because so many people, up and down the country, when we look at the local council electionsthat are ing up, are facing local ernment that's totally, or almost, a one-party state.They are finding that they're not having the tough questions asked. The local council isn'tgetting the scrutiny it needs.So, sure, local councils are suffering enormously under the ernment's hideous program ofausterity, but we should always be asking: Can they do better? Can they look after particularlythe more vulnerable in their munity better? Can they do a better job with their localenvironment?So, in the Council elections, we're looking to really grow our number of Green councillors acrossEngland and Wales.And then we've got the assembly elections in Wales and in London. And these are the chancewhere we can significantly grow our representation, win our first assembly members in Wales inwhat are fair proportional elections, in which people can be sure that their vote counts. If youvote for what you believe in, you can get it.And of course, our sister party up in Scotland is looking forward with real confidence andenthusiasm to the Scottish Parliament elections there.What we want, one of the things we need to be getting out of , is the same kind ofelections, fair proportional elections all around the county, particularly to Westminster and ofcourse getting rid of our un-elected House of Lords.It was in 1918 when women got the vote. That was the last time we saw significant reform inthe Westminster Parliament.Now, it really is time for us to think again, look again, plan again, and get real change in ourdemocracy. To get to a situation where people know that their vote counts, they don't have tomake plicated calculations about what other people are going to vote, they can simplyvote for what they want and get it.That's what I would urge everyone to make a resolution for . To do your bit towardselectoral reform. It is, after all, our human right to have a fair democracy that reflects ourpolitical will. And of course, in , we're also going to have to be defending our human rights.Human Rights Act is under attack from our ernment and we need to stand up and defendit.So a new year, new possibilities. We've got a ernment that doesn't have a mandate for thehideous austerity that it's imposing, for the disastrous environmental policies, for its threatsto our human rights.This ernment only won the support of 24% of eligible voters. That's no kind of mandate.Let's pledge in to ensure that we make real progress toward the real change we need, apolitical system that works for the mon good, not just for the few of the richest and apolitical system that delivers a society where we're living within our environmental limits.And after all, at the end of the day, that's not politics, it's physics. We have to do it. We have tohave real change in Britain.以上内容是为你推荐，希望大家喜欢。

奥巴马开学演讲稿简短英文
奥巴马开学演讲稿简短英文Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it is an honor to be here today to address the importance of education and the opportunities it provides for all of us. As we embark on a new school year, I want to share with you some thoughts on the value of education and the power of knowledge.Education is the key to unlocking our full potential. It is the foundation upon which we build our future, and it is the bridge that connects us to new opportunities and possibilities. Education empowers us to think critically, to question the world around us, and to seek out solutions to the challenges we face.In today's rapidly changing world, the importance of education cannot be overstated. We live in a time of unprecedented technological advancement and global interconnectedness. In order to thrive in this environment, we must equip ourselves with the skills and knowledge necessary to adapt and succeed.As we look to the future, it is essential that we prioritize education and invest in the next generation. We must ensure that every child has access to a quality education, regardless of their background or circumstances. Education is not a privilege, but a fundamental right that should be available to all.I have seen firsthand the transformative power of education. I have met students who have overcome incredible obstacles to pursue their dreams, and I have witnessed the impact that dedicated teachers and mentors can have on their lives. Education has the power to break down barriers, to inspire creativity, and to empower individuals to make a positive difference in the world.As we gather here today, let us reaffirm our commitment to education. Let us support our students, our teachers, and our schools. Let us embrace the opportunities that education provides, and let us work together to build a brighter future for all.In closing, I want to leave you with a quote from Nelson Mandela: "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." Let us neverunderestimate the power of education, and let us continue to strive for a world where every individual has the opportunity to learn, to grow, and to succeed. Thank you.。
观《放牛班的春天》有感
观《放牛班的春天》有感观《放牛班的春天》有感1看了这部电影以后，我只体会到了爱与责任。
那帮被关在学校里的还孩子们，或许由于缺乏爱或许由于过于溺爱而被送到那里。
他们叛逆反抗情绪强烈，与所有管理他们的人为敌，整天调皮捣蛋，搞恶作剧。
真的像放牛的孩子一样自由散漫没有任何纪律性和集体观念。
那个校长和那个音乐老师就是两个典型的对比，校长只顾个人利益和名利，而那个音乐老师却一心为学生只想教好学生，用自己的爱和责任去感化那些学生让他们发想自己的长处重新振作起来。
或许真的是老师的爱心感动了孩子们，有原来和老师作对到最后于老师统一战线共同对付可恶的校长，孩子们也唱出了最纯真的声音，当那美丽的声音响彻藏从的时候，老师醉了，孩子们也醉了，所有的人都醉了，多么美妙的歌声，像春天的甘露滋润人的心田。
孩子们是多么的纯真，他们终于找回了自我，或会了属于他们的天地。
是爱挽救了他们，是责任挽回了他们，最后那势力的校长也得到了报应，这才是真正的苍天有眼。
从校长对老师说的那话中，也让我对教师这个职业有了全新的认识，跟确切的说是对音乐教师这个职业有了全新的认识，我想说我选这音乐教育专业我不后悔，我觉得当老师难，当音乐教师更难。
需要更多的责任与爱，我们不是学监，我们是园丁我们是成就梦想的工程师，我们是用心工作的职业者。
没有谁可以蔑视我们，因为爱让我们始作俑者，因为爱让我们甘于奉献。
我们是音乐教师不是学监，我无悔。
观《放牛班的春天》有感2这部电影令我感动，是因为那优美的音乐竟然可以改变人的命运。
这个故事的主人公是一位叫莫郎奇德小孩，因为他在学校干尽了坏事，被送入了池塘。
（就是一些坏小孩上学的地方）马修也是一位不错的音乐家，他是在池塘之底里教音乐，正是马修的音乐改变了孩子们的命运比如莫郎奇就是一个例子。
原来郎奇是一个调皮捣蛋的臭小子，大家都认为他长大是一个没有出息的小孩。
可学监马修却不觉得莫郎奇有多坏。
果然，马修一次偶然发现莫郎奇那与众不同的嗓音，与众不同的音乐天赋。

that will create new jobs and boost our economy.We need every single one of you to develop your talents and your skills and your intellect so you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems.If you don't do that -- if you quit on school -- you're not just quitting on yourself, you're quitting on your country.Now, I know it's not always easy to do well in school.I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.I get it.I know what it's like.My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mom who had to work and who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us the things that other kids had.There were times when I missed having a father in my life.There were times when I was lonely and I felt like I didn't fit in.So I wasn't always as focused as I should have been on school, and I did some things I'm not proud of, and I got in more trouble than I should have.And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse.But I was -- I was lucky.I got a lot of second chances, and I had the opportunity to go to college and law school and follow my dreams.My wife, our First Lady Michelle Obama, she has a similar story.Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn't have a lot of money.But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.Some of you might not have those advantages.Maybe you don't have adults in your life who give you the support that you need.Maybe someone in your family has lost their job and there's not enough money to go around.Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don't feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren't right.But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life -- what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you've got going on at home -- none of that is an excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude in school.That's no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school.There is no excuse for not trying.Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.No one's written your destiny for you, because here in America, you write your own destiny.You make your own future.That's what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas.Jazmin didn't speak English when she first started school.Neither of her parents had gone to college.But she worked hard, earned good grades, and got a scholarship to Brown University -- is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to becoming Dr.Jazmin Perez.I'm thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who's fought brain cancer since he was three.He's had to endure all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longer -- hundreds of extra hours -- to do his schoolwork.But he never fell behind.He's headed to college this fall.And then there's Shantell Steve, from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois.Even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods in the city, she managed to get a job at a local health care center, start a program to keep young people out of gangs, and she's on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college.And Jazmin, Andoni, and Shantell aren't any different from any of you.They face challenges in their lives just like you do.In some cases they've got it a lot worse off than many of you.But they refused to give up.They chose to take responsibility for their lives, for their education, and set goals for themselves.And I expect all of you to do the same.That's why today I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education -- and do everything you can to meet them.Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time each day reading a book.Maybe you'll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community.Maybe you'll decide to stand up for kids who arebeing teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all young people deserve a safe environment to study and learn.Maybe you'll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn.And along those lines, by the way, I hope all of you are washing your hands a lot, and that you stay home from school when you don't feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.But whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it.I want you to really work at it.I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work -- that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star.Chances are you're not going to be any of those things.The truth is, being successful is hard.You won't love every subject that you study.You won't click with every teacher that you have.Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right at this minute.And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.That's okay.Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who've had the most failures.J.K.Rowling's -- who wrote Harry Potter -- her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published.Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team.He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career.But he once said, "I have failed over and over and over again in my life.And that's why I succeed."These people succeeded because they understood that you can't let your failures define you -- you have to let your failures teach you.You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time.So if you get into trouble, that doesn't mean you're a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to act right.If you get a bad grade, that doesn't mean you're stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.No one's born being good at all things.You become good at things through hard work.You're not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport.You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song.You've got to practice.The same principleapplies to your schoolwork.You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right.You might have to read something a few times before you understand it.You definitely have to do a few drafts of a paper before it's good enough to hand in.Don't be afraid to ask questions.Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.I do that every day.Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength because it shows you have the courage to admit when you don't know something, and that then allows you to learn something new.So find an adult that you trust -- a parent, a grandparent or teacher, a coach or a counselor -- and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.And even when you're struggling, even when you're discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you, don't ever give up on yourself, because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.The story of America isn't about people who quit when things got tough.It's about people who kept going, who tried harder,who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.It's the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and they founded this nation.Young people.Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon.Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google and Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.So today, I want to ask all of you, what's your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a President who comes here in 20 or 50 or 100 years say about what all of you did for this country?Now, your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions.I'm working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books and the equipment and the computers you need to learn.But you've got to do your part, too.So I expect allof you to get serious this year.I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do.I expect great things from each of you.So don't let us down.Don't let your family down or your country down.Most of all, don't let yourself down.Make us all proud.Thank you very much, everybody.God bless you.God bless America.Thank you.(Applause.)。

奥巴马开学演讲稿英文版
奥巴马开学演讲稿英文版THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat. How is everybody doing today (Applause.) How about Tim Spicer (Applause.) I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we've got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade. And I am just so glad that all could join us today. And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host. Give yourselves a big round of applause. (Applause.)I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it's your first day in a new school, so it's understandable if you're a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now -- (applause) -- with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you're in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could've stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived overseas. I lived in Indonesia for a few years. And my mother, she didn't have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday. But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.Now, as you might imagine, I wasn't too happy about getting up that early. And a lot of times, I'd fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever I'd complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she'd say, "This is no picnic for me either, buster." (Laughter.)So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But I'm here today because I have something important to discuss with you. I'm here because I want to talk with you about your education and what's expected of all of you in this new school year.Now, I've given a lot of speeches about education. And I've talked about responsibility a lot.I've talked about teachers' responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.I've talked about your parents' responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and you get your homework done, and don't spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox.I've talked a lot about your government's responsibility for setting high standards, and supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren't working, where students aren't getting the opportunities that they deserve.But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world -- and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed. That's what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself. Every single one ofyou has something that you're good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That's the opportunity an education can provide.Maybe you could be a great writer -- maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper -- but you might not know it until you write that English paper -- that English class paper that's assigned to you. Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor -- maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or the new medicine or vaccine -- but you might not know it until you do your project for your science class. Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice -- but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military You're going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You've got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.And this isn't just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. The future of America depends on you. What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.You'll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. You'll need the insights and critical-thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime anddiscrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free. You'll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.We need every single one of you to develop your talents and your skills and your intellect so you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems. If you don't do that -- if you quit on school -- you're not just quitting on yourself, you're quitting on your country.Now, I know it's not always easy to do well in school. I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.I get it. I know what it's like. My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mom who had to work and who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us the things that other kids had. There were times when I missed having a father in my life. There were times when I was lonely and I felt like I didn't fit in.So I wasn't always as focused as I should have been on school, and I did some things I'm not proud of, and I got in more trouble than I should have. And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse.But I was -- I was lucky. I got a lot of second chances, and I had the opportunity to go to college and law school and follow my dreams. My wife, our First Lady Michelle Obama, she has a similar story. Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn't have a lot of money. But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.Some of you might not have those advantages. Maybe you don't have adults in yourlife who give you the support that you need. Maybe someone in your family has lost their job and there's not enough money to go around. Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don't feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren't right.But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life -- what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you've got going on at home -- none of that is an excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude in school. That's no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school. There is no excuse for not trying.Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up. No one's written your destiny for you, because here in America, you write your own destiny. You make your own future.That's what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas. Jazmin didn't speak English when she first started school. Neither of her parents had gone to college. But she worked hard, earned good grades, and got a scholarship to Brown University -- is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to becoming Dr. Jazmin Perez.I'm thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who's fought brain cancer since he was three. He's had to endure all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longer -- hundreds of extra hours -- to do his schoolwork. But he never fell behind. He's headed to college this fall.And then there's Shantell Steve, from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois. Even whenbouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods in the city, she managed to get a job at a local health care center, start a program to keep young people out of gangs, and she's on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college.And Jazmin, Andoni, and Shantell aren't any different from any of you. They face challenges in their lives just like you do. In some cases they've got it a lot worse off than many of you. But they refused to give up. They chose to take responsibility for their lives, for their education, and set goals for themselves. And I expect all of you to do the same.That's why today I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education -- and do everything you can to meet them. Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time each day reading a book. Maybe you'll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community. Maybe you'll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all young people deserve a safe environment to study and learn. Maybe you'll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn. And along those lines, by the way, I hope all of you are washing your hands a lot, and that you stay home from school when you don't feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.But whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it. I want you to really work at it.I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work -- that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketballor being a reality TV star. Chances are you're not going to be any of those things.The truth is, being successful is hard. You won't love every subject that you study. You won't click with every teacher that you have. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right at this minute. And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.That's okay. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who've had the most failures. . Rowling's -- who wrote Harry Potter -- her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, "I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's why I succeed."These people succeeded because they understood that you can't let your failures define you -- you have to let your failures teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time. So if you get into trouble, that doesn't mean you're a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to act right. If you get a bad grade, that doesn't mean you're stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.No one's born being good at all things. You become good at things through hard work. You're not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport. You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song. You've got to practice. The same principle applies to your schoolwork. You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right. You might have to read something a few times before you understand it. You definitely have to do a few drafts of a paper before it's good enough to hand in.Don't be afraid to ask questions. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.I do that every day. Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength because it shows you have the courage to admit when you don't know something, and that then allows you to learn something new. So find an adult that you trust -- a parent, a grandparent or teacher, a coach or a counselor -- and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.And even when you're struggling, even when you're discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you, don't ever give up on yourself, because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.The story of America isn't about people who quit when things got tough. It's about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.It's the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and they founded this nation. Young people. Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon. Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google and Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.So today, I want to ask all of you, what's your contribution going to be What problems are you going to solve What discoveries will you make What will a President who comes here in 20 or 50 or 100 years say about what all of you did for this countryNow, your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions. I'm working hard to fixup your classrooms and get you the books and the equipment and the computers you need to learn. But you've got to do your part, too. So I expect all of you to get serious this year. I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. I expect great things from each of you. So don't let us down. Don't let your family down or your country down. Most of all, don't let yourself down. Make us all proud.Thank you very much, everybody. God bless you. God bless America. Thank you. (Applause.)。

Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice -- but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You're going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You've got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.And this isn't just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. The future of America depends on you. What you're learningin school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.You'll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. You'll need the insights and critical-thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free. You'll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new panies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.We need every single one of you to develop your talents and your skills and your intellect so you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems. If you don't do that -- if you quit on school -- you're not just quitting on yourself, you're quitting on your country.Now, I know it's not always easy to do well in school. I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.I get it. I know what it's like. My father left my family when I was twoyears old, and I was raised by a single mom who had to work and who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us the things that other kids had. There were times when I missed having a father in my life. There were times when I was lonely and I felt like I didn't fit in.So I wasn't always as focused as I should have been on school, and I did some things I'm not proud of, and I got in more trouble than I should have. And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse.But I was -- I was lucky. I got a lot of second chances, and I had the opportunity to go to college and law school and follow my dreams. My wife, our First Lady Michelle Obama, she has a similar story. Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn't have a lot of money. But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.Some of you might not have those advantages. Maybe you don't have adults in your life who give you the support that you need. Maybe someone in your family has lost their job and there's not enough money to go around. Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don't feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren't right.But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life -- what you look like, where you e from, how much money you have, what you've got going on at home -- none of that is an excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude in school. That's no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school. There is no excuse for not trying.Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up. No one's written your destiny for you, because here in America, you write your own destiny. You make your own future.That's what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas. Jazmin didn't speak English when she first started school. Neither of her parents had gone to college. But she worked hard, earned good grades, and got a scholarship to BrownUniversity -- is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to being Dr. Jazmin Perez.I'm thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who's fought brain cancer since he was three. He's had to endure all sorts oftreatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longer -- hundreds of extra hours -- to do his schoolwork. But he never fell behind. He's headed to college this fall.And then there's Shantell Steve, from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois. Even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods in the city, she managed to get a job at a local health care center, start a program to keep young people out of gangs, and she's on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college.And Jazmin, Andoni, and Shantell aren't any different from any of you. They face challenges in their lives just like you do. In some cases they've got it a lot worse off than many of you. But they refused to give up. They chose to take responsibility for their lives, for their education, and set goals for themselves. And I expect all of you to do the same.That's why today I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education -- and do everything you can to meet them. Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time each day reading a book. Maybe you'll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your munity. Maybe you'll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bulliedbecause of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all young people deserve a safe environment to study and learn. Maybe you'll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn. And along those lines, by the way, I hope all of you are washing your hands a lot, and that you stay home from school when you don't feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.But whatever you resolve to do, I want you to mit to it. I want you to really work at it.I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work -- that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star. Chances are you're not going to be any of those things.The truth is, being successful is hard. You won't love every subject that you study. You won't click with every teacher that you have. Not every homework assignment will seem pletely relevant to your life right at this minute. And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.That's okay. Some of the most successful people in the world are the oneswho've had the most failures. J.K. Rowling's -- who wrote Harry Potter -- her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, "I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's why I succeed."These people succeeded because they understood that you can't let your failures define you -- you have to let your failures teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time. So if you get into trouble, that doesn't mean you're a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to act right. If you get a bad grade, that doesn't mean you're stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.No one's born being good at all things. You bee good at things through hard work. You're not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport. You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song. You've got to practice. The same principle applies to your schoolwork. You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right. You might have to read something a few times before you understand it. You definitely have to do a few drafts of a paper before it's good enough to hand in.Don't be afraid to ask questions. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength because it shows you have the courage to admit when you don't know something, and that then allows you to learn something new. So find an adult that you trust -- a parent, a grandparent or teacher, a coach or a counselor -- and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.And even when you're struggling, even when you're discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you, don't ever give up on yourself, because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.The story of America isn't about people who quit when things got tough. It's about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.It's the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and they founded this nation. Young people. Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon. Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google and Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we municate with each other.So today, I want to ask all of you, what's your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a President who es here in 20 or 50 or 100 years say about what all of you did for this country?Now, your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions. I'm working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books and the equipment and the puters you need to learn. But you've got to do your part, too. So I expect all of you to get serious this year. I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. I expect great things from each of you. So don't let us down. Don't let your family down or your country down. Most of all, don't let yourself down. Make us all proud.Thank you very much, everybody. God bless you. God bless America. Thank you. (Applause.)。
