大学新生开学典礼发言稿 英文版

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen

It’s so great an honor for me to meet you here at your grand opening ceremony. This is our first official meeting, so please allow me to represent all senior students of foreign language department to give you our biggest welcome and sincerest congratulations.

It’s the fourth year for me in binzhou university ,but I still remember the occasions when I first got here. I understand your reluctance to leave your dear family, your curiosity about how life will be in next few years and your ambition to improve yourselves. Of course, you’ve also been undertaking huge pressures from your parents’high expectations. But as time passing by, you will be gradually attracted by the exciting and meaningful life here. You’re gonna experience more freedom, more interesting classes, a large number of clubs and especially, more responsibility for yourself, because from this day on, you will be the only master of your own.

First of all, being responsible for yourself needs your full dedication to study. College students as we are, study still remains as our primary task. Every good habit developed in your high school is worthy to be insisted on, like getting up early for reading, listening carefully to teachers in classes and reviewing lessons for refreshing your memory. Besides, here in the college, you are provided with the access to rich resources of books in the library, electronic documentations and lectures by experts. Anything you want is there for you, and what you need to do is just sparing time to get there and check out. I assure you that every time

you read in the library, every different surprise is to be discovered.

Second, being responsible for yourself needs your openness to surrounding communities and involvement in them, which means you should be positive to face challenges. There must be something in your character that you want to change and sort of abilities that you want to improve. Then do something to change it. By joining a students’ organization, you can perform your talents and make friends; by taking part in a contest, you can enjoy both tensions of fierce competitiveness and pleasures of success. All of these experiences will be greatly beneficial for your future career.

Third, being responsible for yourself needs your strong control over your minds. Facing with the complex world and colorful college life, it’s a necessity for us to always keep clear about what we want and what is right, to overcome our laziness and timidity, and to resist all temptations which may completely destroy us.

Ladies and gentlemen, three years can win a battle, four years can produce an Olympic champion. What about your college years? To live it peacefully or make it unforgettable? To be a loser or fight as a warrior?

Ladies and gentlemen, every opportunity is earned by no one but yourself. So just go for your dreams and build your future!

Thank you very much!
