21世纪杯中学生英语演讲稿中学生英语演讲稿篇1——My dreamGood afternoon everybody! It's my honor to speak here and I am very glad to share my topic with all of you. Today I'd like to talk about “my dream”. I do not just have one dream, in fact, I have three. They are: a healthy life, a happy family and to travel my great country.I have always admired the long healthy life my grandparents have. They are older than 80 years of age and they are still alive and kicking! How do they do that!? My grandparents plant vegetables and grow rice themselves; even in their old age they still make food for themselves! I guess that is why they can remain healthy. More importantly they remain humble and never ask for too much from life. Perhaps that makes them common, but they live a happy life. My grandmother once told me this:”I do not want to live long, only long enough for some grand children to be running around in my house”. I want to live a long, healthy and happy life just as they have.Since my graduation from primary school, until now, every time on my birthday I make the same wish. I wish my parents will not fight anymore. I am not complaining that they gave me a bad childhood, they just fight so much! I am unhappy but that does not mean they do not love me. They do! They love me with all their heart. I love my parents also;I want them to live a happy life as well.I want to travel this great country of ours. I want to see the beauty of our country. I want to see the miracles that made this country great! I want to go from the east to west, from the north all the way down to the south! I have a dream, that one day I can travel and see my country with my family and friends! If that is not possible, seeing my country on my own is good enough also. If I can fulfill all three of my dreams in life, then God can take me away. I would be happy, and l would have lived a full and prosperous life.Thank you everyone for listening to my dreams.中学生英语演讲稿篇2——YouthYouth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.中学生英语演讲稿篇3——My favorite booksGood morning teachers and fellow students. Today we would like to introduce a few favorite books to you.My favorite book is (Italian: Cuore). This is a diary written by an Italian boy Enrico. The diary is about his life and study. It included various touching stories that happened around Enrico, the mottos taught by his parents, as well as the wonderful ten "monthly" stories told by histeacher during the class. Every word in the chapter describes the word "love". From patriotism to friendship, and to the love between parents and child -- really touching.This novel taught me how to love, and how to learn from love. I really like this book very much. How about you? What is your favorite book?My favorite book is . Have you read it before?Oh, I haven’t read this book before. What is it about?Well, it is a story of a rich girl who maintained her noble character after the bankruptcy of her father. The story is happy ending.Can you tell us why you love this book so much?Sure. It is because the story taught us to be brave and to face the challenges and difficulties with courage. I am deeply impressed by the strength and perseverance of the little princess in the story. I have decided to learn from her from now on.Oh I see, the story sounds very good. I cannot wait to read this book as well.。

21世纪英语演讲稿1Globalization: Challenges and Opportunities for China's Younger GenerationGood morning, Ladies and Gentlemen:Today I'm very happy to be here to share with you some of my thoughts on the topic of Globalization. And first of all, I would like to mention an event in our recent history.Thirty years ago, American President Richard Nixon made an epoch-making visit to China, a country still isolated at that time. Premier Zhou Enlai said to him, "Your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world - twenty-five years of no communication." Ever since then, China and America have exchanged many handshakes of various kinds. The fundamental implication of this example is that the need and desire to communicate across differences in culture and ideology is not only felt by the two countries but by many other nations as well.As we can see today, environmentalists from different countries are making joint efforts to address the issue of global warming, economists are seeking solutions to financial crises that rage in a particular region but nonetheless cripple the world's economy, and diplomats and politicians are getting together to discuss the issue of combating terrorism. Peace and prosperity has become a common goal that we are striving for all over theworld. Underlying this mighty trend of globalization is the echo of E. M. Forster's words, "Only connect!"With the IT revolution taking place, traditional boundaries of human society fall away. Our culture, politics, society and commerce are being sloshed into a large melting pot of humanity. In this interlinked world, there are no outsiders, for a disturbance in one place is likely to impact other parts of the globe. We have begun to realize that a world divided cannot endure.China is now actively integrating into the world. Our recent entry to the WTO is a good example. For decades, we have taken pride in being self-reliant, but now we realize the importance of participating in and contributing to a broader economic order. From the precarious role in the world arena to our present WTO membership, we have come a long way.But what does the way ahead look like? In some parts of the world people are demonstrating against globalization. Are they justified then, in criticizing the globalizing world? Instead of narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, they say, globalization enables developed nations to swallow the developing nations' wealth in debts and interest. Globalization, they argue, should be about an earnest interest in every other nation's economic health.We are reminded by Karl Marx that capital goes beyond national borders and eludes control from any other entity. This has become a reality. Multinational corporations are seeking the lowest cost, the largest market, and the most favorable policy. They are often powerful lobbyists in government decision-making, ruthless expansionists in the global market place and a devastating presence to local businesses.For China, still more challenges exist. How are we going toensure a smooth transition from the planned economy to a market-based one? How to construct a legal system that is sound enough and broad enough to respond to the needs of a dynamic society? How to maintain our cultural identity in an increasingly homogeneous world? And how to define greatness in our rise as a peace-loving nation? Globalization entails questions that concern us all.Like many young people my age in China, I want to see my country get prosperous and enjoying respect in the international community. But it seems to me that mere patriotism is not just enough. It is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking and broaden our mind to bigger issues. And, there might never be easy answers to those issues such as globalization, but to take them on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way. And this is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech. Thank you.21世纪英语演讲稿2Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. The title of my speech today is "Crossing the Sea" . An English poet by the name of Rudyard Kipling once wrote in this poem "We and They" : All the people like us are Weand everyone else is TheyWe live over the seaWhile They live over the wayWe eat pork and beef with cow horn-handled knivesThey who gobble their rice off a leafAre horrified out of their lives.When these lines first caught my eyes, I was shocked--how could two people remain so isolated and ignorant of each otherin the past? Today's society, of course, is an entirely different picture. Those people who used to eat with gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.Indeed, just take China as example; Our modern life has been influenced by Western style of living in so many ways that it's no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at McDonald's and even rather elderly people dressed in Apple Jeans.However, these are only some expressions of the cultural changes taking place in our society today. What is really going on is a subtle but significant restructuring of the nation's mentality. Just look around.How many college graduates are ready to compete aggressively for every job opportunity, whereas not long ago they were asked just to sit idle and wait for whatever was to be assigned to them by the government?How many young people are now eager to seek for an independent life whereas only two decades ago they would rely totally on their parents to arrange for their future? Ask anyone who participates in today's speech contest. Who has not come with a will to fight and who has not come determined to achieve self-fulfillment in winning the game? And I'm quite certain that if Confucius had lived to see today's China, he would have been horrified to see young lovers kissing each other in public places in an unreserved expression of their passion.It is therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient Eastern civilization are already living under strong influence of the Western culture. But it is not only in China that we find the incorporation of the two cultures.Take the United States as an example: During the 1980s, inface of the overwhelming competition from Japan, many American companies such as the Ford began to adopt a teamwork management from their rivals, the essence of which, lay at the very core of Eastern culture.Take the Chinese acupuncture as another example: This traditional treatment of diseases is finally finding its way to the West and hence the underlying notion that illness is resulted from the imbalance between yin and yang within the body--an idea which would strike any Westerner as incredible in the past!Ladies and Gentlemen, we live in a great epoch when the global integration of economy and the information revolution have brought cultures of the world closer than ever before. We live in a particular era when countries, East and West, find themselves in need of readjusting their traditional values. We live, at the same time, at a critical juncture of our evolution because such problems as ethnic conflicts and regional unrest are increasingly posing a threat to the peace and happiness of the whole human race.To cope with such an era and to embrace an even brighter future, we need to learn to live more harmoniously in a world community which is becoming smaller and smaller. My dear fellow students, our command of the English language render sit possible for us to gain an insight into Western culture while retaining our own cultural identity.Therefore, it is our sacred responsibility to promote the cultural exchanges and hence the mutual understanding between China and the rest of the world.It is my happiest dream that new generation of Chinese will not only grow up drinking Coca cola and watching Hollywood, but also be blessed with the far-reaching benefits of multiple cultures; benefits that our forefathers had never, ever dreamed of.To end my speech, I would like to quote Rudyard Kipling again:All the people like us are WeAnd everyone else is TheyBut once you cross over the seaYou will end by looking on WeAs only a sort of They.21世纪英语演讲稿3The Impact of Globalization on Traditional Chinese ValuesGood morning, ladies and gentlemen:Before western and Chinese civilization came into close contact, Chinese people had always longed for a life depicted in traditional Chinese paintings. Those paintings present a harmonious coexistence of people and other life forms. Regarded as the essence of ancient Chinese philosophies, harmony has been deeply-rooted in the minds of the Chinese people. On the one hand, it has contributed to the unique continuity of Chinese civilization. On the other, Chinese people became too much contented with their achievements to desire any further changes. As globalization deepens, it is bound to affect our ideal of harmony.First, globalization urges China to speed up its modernization, which threatens our regard for the harmony between Man and Nature. For instance, many dams and hydropower stations are being built for economic benefits at the expense of the well-preserved natural habitats. However, ecological malpractice of such kind goes against the notion of harmonious coexistence in ancient Chinese philosophies. More than 2,000 years ago, long before the concept of environmental protection came into being, DuJiang Weir, a great irrigationproject was built in southwestern China's Sichuan province. It succeeded both in controlling floods and in facilitating the agriculture without posing a threat to the environment.Moreover, globalization has brought with it intense competition. Traditionally, moderation is a golden principle, presiding over inter-personal relations in China. Today, however, motivated to come to the top, some people become so self-centered that they choose to sacrifice love, friendship and even family ties.Last but not least, diverse cultures have met in China as a consequence of globalization. Therefore, a clash of cultures becomes inevitable. Unfortunately, the past decades have witnessed a huge loss of cultural heritage in China. In cities like Beijing and Xi'an, hundreds of century-old Chinese-style houses are being demolished to make room for skyscrapers, shopping malls and eight-lane expressways.From these examples, we see the disharmony brought about by globalization. Yet it is not globalization that is to blame. As long as we approach globalization with harmony in mind, its benefit will outweigh its cost. Take my hometown, Hangzhou, for example, thanks to the strenuous efforts made by the municipal government in achieving eco-development, various water birds have returned to the West Lake, calling it home again after years of migration elsewhere. From the lake bank, we see skateboarders and trick cyclists showing off together with people flying kites and kicking shuttlecocks on the plaza nearby. Although they compose a picture quite distinct from traditional Chinese paintings, this picture conveys a modern sense of harmony in this era of globalization.Ladies and gentlemen, to conclude, I would like to quotefrom British philosopher Bertrand Russell. In contrasting Chinese and Western civilizations, he observed: "The distinctive merit of western civilization is the scientific method; the distinctive merit of the Chinese is a just conception of the ends of life. It is these two that one must hope to see gradually uniting." As we see the tremendous progress China has been making drawing on experience abroad, we may also expect the Chinese traditional value of harmony to enrich the world. I look forward to the time when Russell's prophecy comes true.Thank you very much.21世纪英语演讲稿4From Walls to BridgesI'm studying in a city famous for its walls. All visitors to my city are amazed by the imposing sight of the city walls, silhouetted by the setting sun with gold and shining lines. With old, cracked bricks patched with lichen, the walls are weather-beaten guards, standing still for centuries in protecting the city.Our ancestors liked to build walls. They built walls in Beijing, Xi'an, Nanjing and many other cities, and they built the Great Wall, which snakes through half of our country. They built walls to ward off enemies and evil spirits. This tradition has been maintained to this day as we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public. I grew up at the foot of the city walls, and I've loved them since my childhood. For a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world.My perception, however, changed after a hiking trip to the Eastern Suburbs, a scenic area of my city. My classmates and I were walking with some international students. As we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by taller and taller trees, which formed a huge canopy above our heads. Suddenly aninternational student asked me, "Where is the entrance to the Eastern Suburbs?""We're already in the Eastern Suburbs," I replied.He seemed taken aback, "I thought you Chinese have walls for everything." His remark set off a heated debate. At one point, he likened our walled cities to "jails," while I insisted that the Eastern Suburbs were one of the many places in China that had no walls.That debate had no winners, but I did learn a lot from this international student. For instance, he told me that universities like Oxford and Cambridge were not surrounded by walls; the campuses were just part of the cities. I have to admit that we do have many walls in China, and as we are developing our country, we must carefully examine them, whether they are physical or intangible. We will keep some walls but tear down those that impede China's development.Let me give you an example.A year ago, when I was working on a term paper, I needed a book on business law and found a copy in the law school library. However, the librarian turned down my request with a cold shoulder, saying, "You can't borrow this book, you are not a student here." In the end, I had to spend 200 yuan buying a copy; meanwhile, the copy in law school was gathering dust on the shelf.At the beginning of this semester, I heard that my university has started not only to unify its libraries but also link them up with libraries of other universities, so my experience will not be repeated. Barriers will be replaced by bridges. Through an inter-library loan system, we will have access to books from any library. With globalization, with China integrated into the world, I believemany of these intangible walls will be knocked down.I know globalization is a controversial issue, and it is hard to say whether it is good or bad. But one thing is for sure: it draws our attention to China's tangible and intangible walls and forces us to examine their roles in the modern world.And how about the ancient walls in my city and other cities? Should we tear them down? Just the opposite. My city, like Beijing and other cities, is actually making a great effort to preserve the walls. These walls attract not only historians and archeologists but also many schoolchildren trying to study our history and cultural heritage. Walls have turned into bridges to our past and to the rest of the world. If the ancient builders of these walls were still alive today, they would be proud to see such great change in the role of their walls. They are now bridges that link East and West, South and North, and all countries of the world. Our cultural heritage will survive21世纪英语演讲稿5Facing this audience on the stage, I have the exciting feeling of participating in the march of history, for what we are facing today is more than a mere competition or contest. It is an assembly of some of China's most talented and motivated people, representatives of a younger generation that are preparing themselves for the coming of a new century.I'm grateful that I've been given this opportunity, at such a historic moment, to stand here as a spokesman of my generation and to take a serious look back at the past 15 years, a crucial period for every one of us and for this nation as well.Though it is only within my power to tell about my personal experience, and only a tiny fragment of it at that, it still represents, I believe, the root of a spirit which has been essential to me andto all the people bred by the past 15 years.In my elementary years, there was a little girl in the class who worked very hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons.The teacher asked me to help her, and it was obvious that she expected a lot from me. but as a young boy, restless, thoughtless, I always tried to evade her so as to get more time to enjoy myself.One day before the final exam, she came up to me and said, "Could you please explain this to me? I want very much to do better this time. " I started explaining, and finished in a hurry. Pretending not to notice her still confused eyes, I ran off quickly. Nat surprisingly, she again did very badly in the exam. And two months later, at the beginning of the new semester, word came of her death of blood cancer. No one ever knew about the little task I failed to fulfill, but I couldn't forgive myself. I simply couldn't forget her eyes, which seem to be asking, "Why didn't you do a little more to help me, when it was so easy for you? Why didn't you understand a little better the trust placed in you, so that I would not have to leave this world in such pain and regret?"I was about eight or nine years old at that time, but in a way it was the very starting point of my life, for I began to understand the word "responsibility" and to learn to always do my duties faithfully and devotedly, for the implications of that sacred word has dawned on me: the mutual need and trust of people, the co-operation and inter-reliance which are the very foundation of human society.Later in my life, I continued to experience many failures. But never again did I feel that regret which struck me at the death of the girl, for it makes my heart satisfied to think that I have alwaysdone everything in my power to fulfill my responsibilities as best I can.As I grew up, changed and improved by this incident and many other similar ones, I began to perceive the changes taking place around me and to find that society, in a way, was in its formative years like myself. New buildings, new commodities and new fashions appear every day.New ideas, new information, new technologies. People can talk with each other from any corner of the earth in a matter of seconds. Society is becoming more competitive.Words like individuality and creativity are getting more emphasis and more people are rewarded for their hard work and efforts. Such is the era in which this generation ,grows and matures.Such is the era in which this generation will take over the nation from our fathers and learn to run it. Yet in the meantime, many problems still exist.We learn that crimes take place in broad daylight with crowds of people looking on and not assisting. We hear that there are still about 1 million children in this country who can't even afford to go to elementary schools while enormous sums of money are being squandered away on dinner parties and luxury cars.We buy shoddy medicines, or merely worthless junk in the name of medicines, that aggravate, rather than alleviate our diseases since money, many people believe, is the most important thing in the world that must be made, even at the expense of morality and responsibility.Such an era, therefore, determines that we are a generation with a keener sense of competition and efficiency and a greater readiness to think critically and act creatively.Such an era, furthermore, demands, that we are a generation with a clear perception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive will to take action and solve the problems. History has long been preparing these qualities in this generation and it is now calling us forward to give testimony to our patriotism and heroism towards this nation and all humanity.Standing here now, I think of the past 15 years of my life as an ordinary student. Probably I'll be an ordinary man for the rest of my life. But this doesn't discourage me any, for I know that with my sense of responsibility and devoted efforts to always strive, for the best, it's going to be a meaningful and worthwhile life that I will be living.Standing here now, I think of the past 15 years of this nation, which has achieved greatness that inspired millions of people of my age, most of whom will not attain fame or prestige and only a few of whom will be remembered by posterity. But that doesn't discourage us any, because we know that the world watches, the world listens, the world is waiting to see where this nation will be heading in a time of rich opportunities and fierce competition.I can't ever forget that little girl in my class who couldn't had the same opportunities as any of us here to enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopeful world tomorrow.It is the sacred responsibility of this generation to face up to the challenges of the new century and to devote our sweat and blood, our wisdom and passion, to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier land for every one of us.We are not going to evade that responsibility. We are going to let people down. And people, far and near, will hear of us. Frost will be brought to their backbones and tears to their eyes when our stories are told and retold, So let us go forth, my fellowmembers of this luckily chosen generation, and meet the new century in victory and glory.。

It is the key to unlocking the potential of every child and ensuring a brighter future for all. As we strive for global development, we must prioritize the education of our youth. Through education, we can empower individuals to overcome obstacles, pursue their dreams, and contribute positively to society.

Technology and the Future of WorkIn this digital age, technology is rapidly transforming the way we live and work. Automation and artificial intelligence have the potential to revolutionize industries and create new opportunities. However, we must also recognize the challenges that come with this technological revolution. As jobs become automated, many workers may find themselves unemployed. It is crucial that we invest in retraining and reskilling programs to ensure that no one is left behind. Let us embrace technology as a tool for progress and work together to shape a future where everyone can thrive.3. Climate Change: Our Responsibility to Protect the PlanetClimate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time. Rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and melting ice caps are threatening the survival of our planet. As global citizens, it is our responsibility to take action. We must reduce our carbon footprint, transition to renewable energy sources, and protect our natural resources. The time for talk is over; it is time for action. Let us join hands and work towards a sustainable future for generations to come.4. The Importance of Mental Health AwarenessIn the 21st century, mental health is finally being recognized as a crucial aspect of overall well-being. We must break the stigma surrounding mental health and promote awareness, understanding, and support. Mental illnesses can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. It is vital that we prioritize mental health in our personal lives, workplaces, and communities. Let us be a source of strength for those who are struggling and work together to create a society where mental health is valued and supported.5. Empowering Women: The Key to a Stronger SocietyGender equality is not just a women's issue; it is a human rights issue. In the 21st century, we must strive for a society where gender does not determine one's opportunities or worth. Empowering women is not only the right thing to do; it is also the smart thing to do. Studies have shown that societies that invest in women's education and empowerment are more prosperous and peaceful. Let us break down the barriers that hold women back and create a world where everyone can achieve their full potential, regardless of their gender.。

21世纪杯全国英语演讲比赛稿(优秀9篇)
21世纪杯全国英语演讲比赛稿（优秀9篇）世纪杯全国英语演讲比赛稿篇一Knowing the Consequences of ChoiceOver the past Spring Festival, I got involved in a family dispute. Right before I got home, four satellite channels of CCTV were added to the 14 channels we had already had. In prime time at night, they all had interesting shows. Therefore, the five of us-my parents, my sisters and I-had to argue over what to watch. Finally, we agreed that we should watch the most interesting programme... If wecould agree what that was.However, all of us there remember that for a long time after we had TV, there were only one or two channels available. The increase in options reveals an important change in our life: the abundance of choice.Fifteen years ago we all dressed in one style and in one colour. Today, we select from a wide variety of designs and shades.Fifteen years ago, we read few newspapers. Today, we read English newspapers like the China Daily and the 21st Century, as well as various Chinese newspapers.Fifteen years ago, English majors took only courses in language and literature. Today, we also study Western culture, journalism, business communications, international relations, and computer science.The emergence of choices marks the beginning of a new era in China#39;s history; an era of diversity, of material and cultural richness, and an era of the rebirth of the Chinese nation. We enjoy the abundance of choice. But this has not come easily.About 150 years ago, China was forced to open up its door by Western canons and gunboats. It has been through the struggle and sacrifice of generations that we finally have gained the opportunity to choose for ourselves. The policy of reform and openness is the choice that has made all the difference.Like others of my age, I#39;m too young to have experienced the time when the Chinese people had no right to choose. However, as the next century draws near, it is time to ask: What does choice really mean to us young people?Is choice a game that relies on chance or luck? Is choice an empty promise that never materializes? Or is choice a puzzle so difficult that we have to avoid it?First, I would like to say: To choose means to claim opportunities.I am a third-year English major. An important choice for me, of course, is what to do upon graduation. I can go to graduate school, at home or abroad. I can go to work as a teacher, a translator, a journalist, an editor and a diplomat. Actually, the system of mutual selection has allowed me to approach almost every career opportunity in China.Indeed, this is not going to be an easy choice. I would love to work in such big cities as Beijing or Shanghai or Shenzhen. I would also love to return to my hometown, which is intimate, though slightly lagging in development. I would love to stay in the coastal area where life is exciting and fast-paced. I would also love to put down roots in central and western China, which is underdeveloped, but holds great potential.All of these sound good. But they are only possibilities. To those of us who are bewildered at the abundance of opportunities, I would like to say: To choose means to accept challenge. To us young people, challenge often emerges in the form of competition. In the next century,competition will not only come from other college graduates, but also from people of all ages and of all origins.With increasing international exchanges, we have to face growing competition from the whole outside world. This is calling for a higher level of our personal development.Fifteen years ago, the knowledge of a foreign language or of computer operation was considered merely an advantage. But today, with wider educational opportunities, this same knowledge has become essential to everyone.Given this situation, even our smallest choices will require great wisdom and personal determination.As we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also becomes more important.As we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also becomes more important.Nuclear power, for instance, may improve our quality of life. But it can also be used to damage the lives and possessions of millions.Economic development has enriched our lives but brought with it serious harm to our air, water and health.To those of us who are blind to the consequences of their choices, I would like to say, To choose means to take responsibility. When we are making choices for ourselves, we cannot casually say: It#39;s just my own business. As policy makers of the next century, we cannot fail to see our responsibility to those who share the earth with us.The traditional Chinese culture teaches us to study hard and work hard so as to honor our family. To me, however, this family is not just the five of us who quarreled over television programmes. Rather, it is the whole of the human family. As I am making my choices, I will not forget the smile of my teacher when I correctly spelled out the word China for the first time, I will not forget the happy faces of the boys and girls we helped to send back to school in the mountains of Jiangxi Province. I will not forget the tearful eyes of women and children in Bosnia, Chechnya and Somali, where millions are suffering from war, famine or poverty. All these people, known and unknown, make up our big human family. At different points, they came into my life and broaden my perspective. Now as I am to make choices for myself, it is time to make efforts to improve their lives, because a world will benefit us all only if every one in it can lead a peaceful and prosperous life.选择的重要性去年春节期间，我陷入过一场家庭纷争。

21世纪英语演讲比赛即兴演讲范文Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed judges and fellow competitors, good morning. Today, I stand before you to share my thoughts on the topic of education in the 21st century.In this rapidly changing world, education plays a crucial role in shaping the future of our society. As we navigate through the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century, it is imperative that our education system keeps pace with the evolving needs of our students.One of the key aspects of education in the 21st century is the integration of technology. Technology has revolutionized the way we learn, allowing for personalized, interactive, and collaborative learning experiences. From online courses to virtual reality simulations, technology has the power to enhance the learning process and engage students in ways never before possible.Furthermore, the 21st century demands a shift towards a more holistic and interdisciplinary approach to education. As we face complex global challenges such as climate change, poverty, and inequality, it is essential that our students are equipped with the knowledge and skills to address these issues from a multidisciplinary perspective. By breaking down the traditional silos between subjects and fostering creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration, we can prepare our students to become innovative problem solvers and global citizens.Moreover, education in the 21st century should focus on developing essential skills such as adaptability, resilience, and emotional intelligence. In a world that is increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous, students need to be equipped with the skills to navigate change and uncertainty with confidence and grace. By incorporatingsocial and emotional learning into the curriculum, we canhelp students develop the resilience and empathy needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.In conclusion, education in the 21st century must adapt to the needs of our students and the demands of our rapidly changing world. By embracing technology, promoting interdisciplinary learning, and fostering essential skills, we can ensure that our students are prepared to succeed in the future. Thank you.。

When I was in the secondary school, my dream was to study in my ideal university. And when eventually I got into the university, my dream was to graduate.How pathetic! When we grow up, we dream less and become more realistic. Why? Why do we have to change our dreams, so, so in order to let it be "fulfilled"? Why do we have to surrender to the so-called "reality"? What IS the reality actually?Ladies and gentlemen, the reality is not real. It is a barrier keeping us from all the possible fantasies. Flying, for example, had been a dream to mankind for thousands of years. A hundred years ago,"man could not fly" was still regarded as the "reality". Now if that was really the reality, what did the Wright brothers do? How did some of you get to Macau? Only when we believe that the reality is not real can we soar with our dreams.People say that our future is a battle between the reality and our dreams. And if,unfortunately, Mr. Reality wins this war, then I see no future of mankind at all. AIDS will never be curable as this IS the reality; People living in the undeveloped countries will suffer from starvation forever as this IS the reality; 4)Disputes among different countries would never be settled as this misunderstandings and intolerance IS the reality.Ladies and gentlemen, how many of you have a dream of being able to make a lot of money? Please raise your hands. Oh, quite a number of you! Actually, ladies and gentlemen, this is not a dream, but a task. Every one of us has to make a living, right? Anyway I hope your task will be accomplished. How many of you think that you havealready fulfilled your dream and that you don't dream anymore? Dear 5)adjudicators, what do you think?C.S. Lewis once said, "You are never too old to dream a new dream." So for our future, please dream and be uealistic.Now that I am a university student, my goal is to graduate with excellences. But at the same time, I have a dream deeply rooted in our future. One day, people living in the areas now 6)sweltering with the horror of wars will be able to sit with their families and enjoy their every moment. One day, people from the rich countries are willing to share what they have with those from the poor countries and those from the poor countries will eventually be able to make their own happy living themselves. One day, different cultures in this ageof globalization will coexist with tolerance and the unfriendly confrontations among them will be 7)eliminated. One day, the globe will share the dream with me and we will all contribute to making our dream come true. One day, our dream will defeat the reality!Thank you very much.第十届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛季军——张阿旭Two-Way TrafficSeven centuries ago, Marco Polo, after staying in our country for almost twenty years, brought the secrets of spaghetti and ice-cream with him back to Italy. More than seven hundred years later, with the prevalence of globalization, our people, our food, our products and many other items, have traveled to many other places beyond Italy. No matter where these Chinese people, Chinese food, Chinese products and many other Chinese items are, they carry with them qualities that are unique to our very own Chinese culture - our traditional values.In the whole process of globalization that the world is integrating politically, economically and culturally, into one, we do witness in our country a great influx of western culture and values - McDonald's, KFCs, soccer players and NBA players. And we are even having this prestigious national speaking competitionin a language that does not belong to us. In the midst of western products pouring in China as a result of globalization, sometimes we do wonder, where does our own culture belong? When we see our younger generations going away from traditional values such as contextual and role-based ethics, ideal of community, hierarchy, paternalism and non-litigious nature of society, we may even think our traditional values are challenged and even threatened. But, are we really losing our values?Ladies and gentlemen, we must remember, the traffic of globalization is two-way. Yes, films from Hollywood, soccer from the United Kingdom and restaurants from America, do have an impact on our values. But, if we see globalization in China a synonymous term with western economic cultural hegemony, we are underestimating the impact of not only globalization but also our values.Have a look at languages. Yes, it is the desire and dream of every single Chinese to speak fluent English, including every single one of us here. But, have youever wondered how many non-Chinese are learning Chinese? Let me tell you, by the end of XX, nearly 30 million people from 85 countries and regions were learning standard Chinese, Putonghua. And who knows about the number of people learning regional dialects such as Shanghainese and Cantonese. In these two years, I am sure none of us here will be surprised that the number is skyrocketing.Have a look at Feng Shui, within 0.21 seconds Google brings you 1,270,000 websites about Feng Shui, not in Chinese, not from all over the world, but in English, just within the United States. And I guess some of you still remember, when the previous American president, Bill Clinton, first became president. He actually had the furniture of his office rearranged according to feng shui ideas.Have a look at traditional Chinese medicine. Four years ago, in XX, there were already more than 120 000 traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, researchers and related business trading companies in Europe, just Europe. Our holistic approach of takingcare of a person's health has been proven popular in the world.Our values, language, our Feng Shui, our traditional medicine and also Kung Fu that I have not really talked about, are all parts and messengers of our culture and values. What does their success in the west tell us? Their popularity tells us that, alongside cheap consumer products, we are exporting to the west, Chinese beliefs and, values.Ladies and gentlemen, globalization, yes it has its impacts on our values. It is sending our values overseas and bringing in new ones. Let's not see the bringing in of new ones a threat to our own culture. As a matter of fact, the bringing in is a very good opportunity and time to rethink and reflect who we are and what we want to be. It is upon us whetherglobalization has a positive or negative impact on our traditional values. Ladies and gentlemen, I see this positively(本文来自：小草范文网:21世纪英语演讲比赛演讲稿), I know even if our traditional values are changing or to change, the change is for better,not for worse. Thank you very much.第十届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛亚军——张京The Impact of Globalization on Traditional Chinese ValuesGood morning, ladies and gentlemen:Before western and Chinese civilization came into close contact, Chinese people had always longed for a life depicted in traditional Chinese paintings. Those paintings present a harmonious coexistence of people and other life forms. Regarded as the essence of ancient Chinese philosophies, harmony has been deeply-rooted in the minds of the Chinese people. On the one hand, it has contributed to the unique continuity of Chinese civilization. On the other, Chinese people became too much contented withtheir achievements to desire any further changes. As globalization deepens, it is bound to affect our ideal of harmony.First, globalization urges China to speed up its modernization, which threatens our regard for the harmony between Man and Nature. For instance, many damsand hydropower stations are being built for economic benefits at the expense of the well-preserved natural habitats. However,ecological malpractice of such kind goes against the notion of harmonious coexistence in ancient Chinese philosophies. More than 2,000 years ago, long before the concept of environmental protection came into being, DuJiang Weir, a great irrigation project was built in southwestern China's Sichuan province. It succeeded both in controlling floods and infacilitating the agriculture without posing a threat to the environment. Moreover, globalization has brought with it intense competition. Traditionally, moderation is a golden principle, presiding over inter-personal relations in China. Today, however, motivated to come to the top, some people become so self-centered that they choose to sacrifice love, friendship and even family ties.Last but not least, diverse cultures have met in China as a consequence of globalization. Therefore, a clash of cultures becomes inevitable. Unfortunately,the past decades have witnessed a huge loss of cultural heritage in China. In cities like Beijing and Xi'an, hundreds ofcentury-old Chinese-style houses are being demolished to make room for skyscrapers, shopping malls and eight-lane expressways.From these examples, we see the disharmony brought about by globalization. Yet it is not globalization that is to blame. As long as we approach globalization with harmony in mind, its benefit will outweigh its cost. Take my hometown, Hangzhou, for example, thanks to the strenuous efforts made by the municipal government in achieving eco-development, various water birds have returned to the West Lake, calling it home again after years of migration elsewhere. From the lake bank, we see skateboarders and trick cyclists showing off together with people flying kites and kicking shuttlecocks on the plaza nearby. Although they compose a picture quite distinct from traditional Chinese paintings, this picture conveys a modern sense of harmony in this era of globalization.Ladies and gentlemen, to conclude, I would like to quote from British philosopher Bertrand Russell. In contrasting Chinese and Western civilizations, he observed: "The distinctive merit of westerncivilization is the scientific method; the distinctive merit of the Chinese is a just conception of the ends of life. It is these two that one must hope to see gradually uniting." As we see the tremendous progressChina has been making drawing on experience abroad, we may also expect the Chinese traditional value of harmony to eich the world. I look forward to the time when Russell's prophecy comes true.Thank you very much.第十届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军——夏鹏From Walls to BridgesI'm studying in a city famous for its walls. All visitors to my city are amazed by the imposing sight of the city walls, silhouetted by the setting sun with gold and shining lines. With old, cracked bricks patched with lichen, the walls are weather-beatenguards, standing still for centuries in protecting the city.Our ancestors liked to build walls. They built walls in Beijing, Xi'an, Nanjing and many other cities, and they built the Great Wall, which snakes through half of our country. They built walls to ward off enemies and evil spirits. This tradition has been maintained to this day as we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public. I grew up at the foot of the city walls, and I've loved them since my childhood. For a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world.My perception, however, changed after a hiking trip to the Eastern Suburbs, a scenic area of my city. My classmates and I were walking with some international students. As we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by taller and taller trees, which formed a huge canopy above our heads. Suddenly an international student asked me, "Where is the entrance to the Eastern Suburbs?""We're already in the Eastern Suburbs," I replied.He seemed taken aback, "I thought you Chinese have walls for everything." His remark set off a heated debate. At one point, he likened our walled cities to "jails," while I insisted that the Eastern Suburbs were one of the many places in China that had no walls.That debate had no winners, but I did learn a lot from this international student. For instance, he told me that universities like Oxford and Cambridge were not surrounded by walls; the campuses were just part of the cities. I have to admit that we do have many walls in China, and as we are developing our country, we must carefully examine them, whether篇二：21世纪英语演讲比赛袁晓婷演讲稿!!The road not taken in lifeHola todos! Ahora vamos a empezar. el camino no selecionado en la vida. Ladies and gentlemen, I am a sophomore majoring in Spanish, but today I’m here standing on the stage of an English Competition. Should I be here? Is this my arena? Two years ago, when I was offered the privileged chance to pick my major, rather than choose the well-trodden path of English I chosethe lonely road Spanish. Lonely you may ask? Despite there being 400 million Spanish speakers in the world, a mere fraction of that number studies it in China.It’s very common that when students don’t know which major to choose in college, they choose English; when they want a better job, they pick up English, and when they want to master a foreign language, more often than not, it is English. Let’s be frank, people learn English for money. There is a perception that English is the path to a better life. But the law of supply and demand tells that if everyone supplies the same service the value of that service declines. So those who have taken a less traveled road, and have not followed the herd, may have the last laugh.We’ve seen this before. Think of all those students who decided to pursue law at the urgings of their parents, uncles or teachers. Where are they now? Promised a world of opportunity upon completing their education, instead they are now struggling to find a position in their overcrowded field. Some have ended up turning to new paths as translators, or even butchersand fishmongers. Supply and demand strikes again!How about beyond education? What are the paths that everyone takes? Everyone rushes to buy a house and we are left with rising prices of homes and apartments that may be highly inflated. Everyone needs to purchase a car and we are left with traffic jams that last over a week! Everyone flocks to Xiangshan in the spring to look at the blooming flowers only to see the backs of other people’s heads. Too often people are sheep refusing to separate from the flock. They become nervous and uneasy when they step out of line. However, isn’t this sometimes necessary? Why do we not buy a cheaper home in a smaller town? Why do we not use public transportation instead of worrying about a car? Why do we not go see Sakura blossoms in Wuhan instead of the Fragrant Hills? The pressure to travel with others is strong for it is always easier to go with the flow.We must learn to love the lonely path, not fear it. Not always is the popular path a safe one. There are always options. The road less traveled can be fun.Learning Spanish changes you. You become more colorful, more noisy, more gossipy, more outrageous, more daring. It is like having a personality transplant.Now I encourage people around me to take risks, not unlike entering an English Speaking competition as a Spanish Major. Even though I have chosen the less travelled road to learn Spanish, I am not restricted from detouring into English as I have today. I don’t dream about the road I didn’t take that so many of my friends did. We are lucky to have so many paths in front of us, but there is no single correct path for all of us. We must find our own way. Luckily my path is clear, Spanish is calling. Hasta la vista. 篇三：曹丰21世纪英语演讲比赛演讲稿清华大学曹丰21世纪英语演讲比赛演讲稿 Our future: a battle between dreams and realityGood afternoon, ladies and gentlemen: When I was in the primary school, I havea dream.

One day, people from therich countries are willing to share what they have with those from the poor countries. And those from the poor countries will eventually be able to make their own happy living themselves. One day, different cultures in this age of coexist with tolerance and the unfriendly confrontationsamong them will be eliminated. One day, the globe will share the dream with me. And we will all contribute to making our dream come true. One day, our dream will defeat the reality! Thank you very much.此文档是由网络收集并进行重新排版整理.word可编辑版本！。

In this 21st century, the English language serves as a bridge connecting cultures, ideas, and aspirations across the globe. It is within the realm of English discourse that we find the platform to express our thoughts, inspire action, and foster understanding.As we navigate the complexities of our world, the significance of English proficiency cannot be overstated. It is not merely a tool for communication but a gateway to opportunity, empowerment, and progress. In the arena of global affairs, those who wield the English language effectively hold the keys to unlock doors to diplomacy, trade, and collaboration. Whether negotiating treaties, delivering keynote addresses, or engaging in cross-cultural dialogue, fluency in English amplifies our voices and extends our reach.Moreover, the art of English oration transcends linguistic boundaries to touch hearts and minds universally. From the eloquence of Winston Churchill to the impassioned rhetoric of Martin Luther King Jr., history bears witness to the transformative power of spoken English. Through carefully crafted speeches, leaders have rallied nations, inspired movements, and sparked revolutions. In the digital age, platforms such as TED Talks and YouTube enable individuals from diverse backgrounds to share their stories and ideas with a global audience, fostering empathy, solidarity, and collective action.Yet, the journey to mastery in English public speaking is not without its challenges. It demands not only linguistic proficiency but also intellectual depth, emotional resonance, and cultural sensitivity. Effective speakers must command attention, convey credibility, and compel action through their words. They must navigate the nuances of tone, pacing, and body language to captivate audiences and leave a lasting impression. Moreover, they must embrace diversity of thought and perspective, recognizing that true dialogue requires humility, empathy, and open-mindedness.In this era of rapid globalization and technological advancement, the need for proficient English speakers has never been greater. Whether pursuing academic excellence, advancing professional aspirations, or fostering interpersonal connections, fluency in English opens doors to a world of possibilities. It empowers individuals to exchange ideas, collaborate across borders, and contribute to the collective quest for knowledge and innovation.In conclusion, the 21st century English language speech competition represents more than a showcase of linguistic prowess. It embodies the spirit of human connection, intellectual curiosity, and cultural exchange that defines our shared humanity. As we harness the power of English discourse to address the challenges of our time, let us remember that our words have the potential to shape the course of history and inspire generations to come.Thank you.。

21世纪杯全国英语演讲比赛稿（精选16篇）21世纪杯全国英语演讲比赛稿篇1A Scene to RememberGood afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:Today I would like to begin with a story. There was once a physical therapist who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a census about mountain gorillas. These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world; this put them severely under threat of poaching and being put into the zoo. She went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures. She witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we've ever been, where in the very depth of the African rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas cuddled their babies.Yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called Gorillas in the Mist, based on a true story of Mrs. Diana Fossey, who spent most of her lifetime in Rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.To me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our eco-environment.Today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems. On the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go. It has become a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in GDP growth. It has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland ofprosperity. But on the other hand, many problems can occur - natural scenes aren't natural anymore. Deforestation to heat lodges are devastating Nepal. Oil spills from tourist boats are polluting Antarctica. Tribal people are forsaking their native music and dress to listen to U2 on Walkman and wear Nike and Reeboks.All these appalling facts have brought us to the realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been eroding our resources. Encouragingly, the explosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the United Nations has made 20xx the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the world's attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our ecoenvironment.Now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection organizations are receiving donations - big notes, small notes or even coins - from housewives, plumbers, ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and invalids. Some of them cannot afford to send the money but they do. These are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood. Why? Because they care. Because they still want their Mother Nature back. Because they know it still belongs to them.This kind of feeling that I have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it , it's all coming from a scene to be remembered, a scene to recall and to cherish.The other night, as I saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs.I found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to something else, someplace else, a place remembered, a placeuntouched, a field of grass where no one seemed to have been except the deer.And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's time for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.Once again, I have come to think of Mrs. Diana Fossey because it is with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.And no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our minds, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.Thank you very much.21世纪杯全国英语演讲比赛稿篇2Sports are more than competitions. To me, they mean growth under the care of others. I learned this the hard way.I used to be very shy and often felt lonely. Although I did well in all the academic subjects, I was afraid of physical education. My classmates often laughed at me.“Look at that girl,” they said. “Her feet don’t leave the ground when she runs!”Their words embarrassed me. Moreover, whenever the teacher organized some competitive games, no one in the class liked to have me as their partner or team member. As a result, I often ended up looking at others enjoy their games.Things would go on like that if not for a sports meet in my high school. By mistake, my name was put on the list of those who would compete in the women’s 1500 meters race. By the time people found the mistake, it was too late to change.My desk-mate was a natural athlete. She said to me, “Icouldn’t run that race in your place, because I’ve signed up for three items already.” Other athletic girls of the class said the same.I was utterly dumbfounded. 1500 meters! Running against the best runners from other classes! And in front of students of the entire school! It would be the worst nightmare I’d ev er have!“You still have time to catch up because there is still one month before the sports meet,” they all said this to me, including my teacher.My desk-mate patted me on the shoulder, “Cool! You will run for our class! And we will do training together.” Yes, this is not just for myself, but for my class too, I said to myself. But still, 1500 meters to me was like Mount Everest to a beginning climber.I had no idea even how to start my preparation.Fortunately, my desk-mate gave me a hand. Every afternoon after class, several of us ran together. When the fear of being laughed at struck me, I saw others running right beside me. They gave me strengths. While we were running, some others would stand by the tracks cheering for us.One month certainly couldn’t make me a good runner. But when I was standing behind the start line, I no longer felt lonely or afraid. I saw my classmates standing by the tracks waving at me as if about to run beside me.With the shot of the starting gun, I dashed out and ran as fast as I could, as if it were a 200-meter race. Soon I was out of breath and slowed down. Other runners passed me one by one, and gradually I had no idea how many of them were still behind me. My legs were getting heavier and heavier, and I might fall down at any moment. However, I suddenly heard my classmates chanting my name. My desk-mate even ran along the tracksbeside me and cheered for me at the same time, just like the month-long training we did together.As expected, I was almost the last to cross the finish line. Immediately, my classmates held my arms and urged me to walk on my feet and not to sit down. I was surrounded, with all kinds of drinks handed to me. I felt a kind of warmth I had never felt before. Even though I was almost the last to finish the race, I was full of confidence that I would improve in the future.That sports meet was an unforgettable experience. The memory of my classmates cheering for me, holding my arms and handing me drinks stays fresh on my mind. Sports are no longer about winning or losing. They give me a lot of confidence, both confidence in my fellow students and confidence in my own potential. I am no longer lonely, no longer afraid. Sports have brought me close to my classmates and helped us grow together.Now, I participate in the sports meet every year. Even if I am not competing, I would help my classmates with their practice, just like the way my desk-mate and others ran with me.体育比赛越来越多。

初中21世纪英语演讲稿第一篇：初中21世纪英语演讲稿The best gift we can give others is company Hello, everyone!Today my topic is: The best gift we can give others is company.If someone says ’gift’, we will first think of something material, like the gifts we get on our birthdays.But in my mind, “gift” is not only something material，but also something spiritual.What’s the best gift we can give others? This is a question that troubles us for a long time.When I first thought about it, another question came up in my mind: What’s the best gift I have ever received from others?Here is the story.I have a best friend.She’s a good student, but doesn’t talk much.For a long time, I’ve been questioning myself why she is my best friend.One day, I found the answer.It was my birthday.I received many gifts from others, like books, pencil boxes and so on.I was so happy that I was always thinking about the gifts.As a result, I couldn’t finish my homework on time that day!All the students had gone out to play except me and her.I was so worried about my homework.At that moment only my best friend stayed to be my company and helped me with my homework.The tears in my eyes came out.That was the best gift I received from others on my birthday.She is my best friend just because of company.We all know that company is the sincerest confession.I think it’s not only a confession.It can also be a small letter, a word and even an eyesight.When people get hurt, a shoulder is enough.When people feel they are left alone in the world, they just need some words to encourage them.Yes, just let them think we are staying with them.They are not alone.For me, I am a person who is shy to show my feelings toothers, but I can keep company with them.You don’t need to show your feelings too much when you are others’ pany is just like a language with no sound.It tells you someone is with you.You are not alone.Everyone can be others’ company.Now I realized the best gift we can give others is compa ny.Let us be others’ company.第二篇：21世纪英语演讲稿(英语,演讲稿,世纪)21世纪英语演讲稿(英语,演讲稿,世纪)目录are easy to find that tang dynasty learn oversea advanced culture at the basic of its own accessible culture.as for our present china, the strength is obviously clear.once we ta ke up “reform and open” policy, the situation and status in international society change greatly.our life standard of course has been raised sharply.keep cultural diversity contributes much to the development of china.qing dynasty made the strength of china fall behind advanced countries for several tens years.there is no wonder for it to experience this result if you have understood something of chinese history.in qing dynasty, its emperor operated cultural tyrancy(文化专制主义).that is to say, it stuck to cultural integration inside of our country.after hearing the above exles, you may say that culture seems to have nothing to do with economy and how you can prove diversity creates beauty and cultural integration blocks development.maybe you are right, but don’t forget that culture is soul and spirit for a nation.it provides direction and dynamic power for its people to create bright future.as an old saying puts, “idea es before action.”in this paragraph, i want to analyse the inner connection between cultural diversity and how it work wonder-beauty.first, personality distinguishes our special individual and makes ourworld colorful.it’s the same to cultural ck of diversity, vibrant society would disappear.second, everything has more than one angle.one person cannot find all angles and research all of them successful.in the multicultural society, we can learn others’ fruit and others learn our extra gains.this can enrich our culture and make it constant and effective development.for culture development in china, i think we should keep our root-fine traditional culture and we should also adopt others’ strength points.go on constant reform of culture to make sure that it adapts to present situation and can ensure the constant development of our nation.i w ish what i’m speaking can count a little.very hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons.the teacher asked me to help her, and it was obvious that she expected a lot from me.but as a young boy, restless, thoughtless, i always tried to evade her so as to get more time to enjoy myself.one day before the final exam, she came up to me and said, “could you please explain this to me? i want very much to do better this time.” i started explaining, and finished in a hurry.pretending not to notice her still confused eyes, i ran off quickly.nat surprisingly, she again did very badly in the exam.and two months later, at the beginning of the new semester, came of her death of blood cancer.no one ever knew about the little task i failed to fulfill, but i couldn't forgive myself.i simply couldn't forget her eyes, which seem to be asking, “why didn't you do a little more to help me, when it was so easy for you? why didn't you understand a little better the trust placed in you, so that i would not have to leave this world in such pain and regret?” i was about eight or nine years old at that time, but in a way it was the very starting point of my life, for i began to understand the “responsibility” and to learn to always do my dutiesfaithfully and devotedly, for the implications of that sacred has dawned on me: the mutual need and trust of people, the co-operation and inter-reliance which are the very foundation of human ter in my life, i continued to experience many failures.but never again did i feel that regret which struck me at the death of the girl, for itmakes my heart satisfied to think that i have always done everything in my power to fulfill my responsibilities as best i can.as i grew up, changed and improved by this incident and many other similar ones, i began to perceive the changes taking place around me and to find that society, in a way, was in its formative years like myself.new buildings, new modities and new fashions appear every day.new ideas, new information, new technologies.people can talk with each other from any corner of the earth in a matter of seconds.society is being more petitive.s like individuality and creativity are getting more emphasis and more people are rewarded for their hard work and efforts.such is the era in which this generation ,grows and matures.such is the era in which this generation will take over the nation from our fathers and learn to run it.yet in the meantime, many problems still exist.we learn that crimes take place in broad daylight with crowds of people looking on and not assisting.we hear that there are still about 1 million children in this country who can't even afford to go to elementary schools while enormous sums of money are being squandered away on dinner parties and luxury cars.we buy shoddy medicines, or merely worthless junk in the name of medicines, that aggravate, rather than alleviate our diseases since money, many people believe, is the most important thing in the world that must bemade, even at the expense of morality andresponsibility.such an era, therefore, determines that we are a generation with a keener sense of petition and efficiency and a greater readiness to think critically and act creatively.such an era, furthermore, demands, that we are a generation with a clear perception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive will to take action and solve the problems.history has long been preparing these qualities in this generation and it is now calling us forward to give testimony to our patriotism and heroism towards this nation and all humanity.standing here now, i think of the past 15 years of my life as an ordinary student.probably i'll be an ordinary man for the rest of my life.but this doesn't discourage me any, for i know that with my sense of responsibility and devoted efforts to always strive, for the best, it's going to be a meaningful and worthwhile life that i will be living.standing here now, i think of the past 15 years of this nation, which has achieved greatness that inspired millions of people of my age, most of whom will not attain fame or prestige and only a few of whom will be remembered by posterity.but that doesn't discourage us any, because we know that the world watches, the world listens, the world is waiting to see where this nation will be heading in a time of rich opportunities and fierce petition.i can't ever forget that little girl in my class who couldn't had the same opportunities as any of us here to enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopefulworld tomorrow.it is the sacred responsibility of this generation to face up to the challenges of the new century and to devote our sweat and blood, our wisdom and passion, to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier land for every one of us.we are not going to evade that responsibility.we are going to let people down.and people, farand near, will hear of us.frost will be brought to their backbones and tears to their eyes when our stories are told and retold, so let us go forth, my fellow members of this luckily chosen generation, and meet the new century in victory and glory.pianist rendering chopin’s nocturne beautifully on the stage, receiving warm applause after my performance.as i furthered my piano lessons, it was hard to be oblivious of my non-gifted skills.sometimes i couldn’t help but have this feeling of despair when i woke up to the reality and discovered that my goal was unrealistic.brutal but real, it was the first time i had discovered that i couldn’t have it all.when i was 12 i thought the coolest job in the entire universe was to be a surgeon.i spent hours and hours watching the drama “grey’s anatomy”, and couldn’t help falling in love with the kind of life those doctors lead on the screen.i was utterly mesmerized by the scalpel and all those fancy medical terms they use.however, i stopped dreaming about being a surgeon when i discovered that it was the idea of being a surgeon that appealed to me, not what it truly was.therefore, the dream ended and i discovered some more about myself.this year i turned 16, i could proudly say i do not dream to be but ascertain to pursue being a lawyer in the future.since junior high school i was always awarded the “most eloquent debater” in every single debate i participated in.i cannot only think logically but also deliver my thoughts promptly.my huge interest in philosophy also adds to my reasoning whenever i tried to argue on something equivocal.being aware of the obstacles and hardships on the way to being a great lawyer never panics me, for the simple reason that i have this faith and passion in what i am aspiring after.g.k.chesterton was absolutely correct, the most plicated part of prehending the world is the study ofthe somehow smaller world—ourselves.i subsequently realized that growing up is the process of discovering ourselves;we get to know what we truly are, and bee who we dream to be.as we shape ourselves, and as we shape our lives, we gradually bee more aware of our limits and potentials and consequently learn to adjust to what’s out there.and by that, ladies and gentleman, i’m proud to say that i’ve discovered part of myself, still discovering today standing on this stage, and hopefully a lot more in the future.i will always keep this embedded into my heart that things do not change, we do.from all the possible fantasies.flying, for exle, had been a dream to mankind for thousands of years.a hundred years ago, “man could not fly” was still regarded as the “reality”.now if that was really the reality, what did the wright brothers do? how did some of you get to macao? only when we believe that the reality is not real can we soar with our dreams.people say that our future is a battle between the reality and our dreams.and if, unfortunately, mr.reality wins this war, then i see no future of mankind at all.aids will never be curable as this is the reality;people living in the undeveloped countries will suffer form starvation forever as this is the reality;disputes among different countries would never be settled as this misunderstandings and intolerance is the dies and gentlemen, how many of you have a dream of being able to make a lot of money? please raise your hands.oh, quite a number of you!actually, ladies and gentlemen, this is not a dream, but a task.every one of us has to make a living, right? anyway i hope your task will be acplishes.how many of you think that you have already fulfilled your dream and that you don’t dream anymore? dear adjudicators, what do you think?c.s.lewis once said, “you are never too old to dream a newdream.” so for our future, please and be un realistic.now that i am a university student my goal is to graduate with excellences.but at the same time, i havea dream deeply rooted in our future.one day, people living in the areas now sweltering with the horror of wars will be able to sit with their families and enjoy their every moment.one day, people from the rich countries are willing to share what they have with those from the poor countries.and those from the poor countries will eventually be able to make their own happy living themselves.one day, different cultures in this age of coexist with tolerance and the unfriendly confrontations among them will be eliminated.one day, the globe will share the dream with me.and we will all contribute to making our dream e true.one day, our dream will defeat the reality!thank you very much.and only a tiny fragment of it at that, it still represents, i believe, the root of a spirit which has been essential to me and to all the people bred by the past 15 years.in my elementary years, there was a little girl in the class who worked very hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons.the teacher asked me to help her, and it was obvious that she expected a lot from me.but as a young boy, restless, thoughtless, i always tried to evade her so as to get more time to enjoy myself.one day before the final exam, she came up to me and said,

21世纪英语演讲稿范文Title: Embracing the 21st Century: A Vision for Our Future.Ladies and Gentlemen,。
As we stand on the cusp of a new millennium, it is a momentous occasion to reflect on the journey we have traversed and consider the path ahead. The 21st century, a century that has already witnessed remarkable transformations and continues to unfold its mysteries, presents us with both challenges and opportunities.Firstly, let us acknowledge the profound changes that have shaped our world. The advent of technology has revolutionized the way we live, work, and communicate. The internet, artificial intelligence, and other technological advancements have broken down barriers, connecting people across the globe. This interconnectedness has fostered the exchange of ideas, cultures, and knowledge, enriching ourunderstanding of the world.However, this interconnectedness also poses challenges. Issues such as climate change, cross-border terrorism, and pandemics have become global problems that require collective action. The 21st century calls for a new breed of leaders who can work together, transcending political and ideological divides, to address these pressing issues.Moreover, the 21st century demands that we reimagine our educational systems. In a world that is constantly evolving, it is crucial that we equip our children with the skills and knowledge to adapt to change. This means fostering creativity, innovation, and critical thinking, while also instilling values of tolerance, respect, and responsibility.Furthermore, we must recognize the role of sustainable development in shaping our future. As the impact of human activity on the environment becomes increasingly apparent, it is imperative that we adopt sustainable practices in all aspects of our lives.

21世纪杯学生比赛英语演讲稿范文（精选17篇）21世纪杯学生比赛英语篇1Me and my FearsHonorable judges, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:It is a great honor and pleasure to be here on this beautiful Saturday morning to share with you my sentiments about life and passion for the English language.About a year and a half ago, I took part in my very first English Speech Contest. When I stood before the microphone with all eyes starring directly at me, I could hardly speak. I stood there, embarrassed and helpless, struggling in vain for the right thing to say. My fears had paralyzed me.While my passion for English has never changed, I lost my courage to speak in public. When my professor again encouraged me to take part in this Competition, I said “no.” I couldn’t endure yet another painful experience. He looked me straight in the eye and said something that pierced my heart. I will never forget his words. “Look,” he said, “We all have our fears, and you have yours. You could twist your ankle in a basketball game, but then be afraid to ever play again. Running away can never dispel your fears, but action will. A winner is not one who never fails，but one who never quits.”I spent a whole day with his words twisting and turning in my mind. Then I made the bravest and wisest decision of my life: I would face my fears – and take part in the competition!As it turned out, my dear old professor was right. Now, here I am, once again standing before a microphone. My heart is beating fast, and my mouth is dry, but most importantly, I havefaced my fears -- and that makes all the difference!Thank you.战胜恐惧尊敬的评委，各位来宾，女士们先生们，我很荣幸在这个美妙的星期六早上来到这里，与你们分享我生命中一段特别的经历。

The best gift we can give others is company Hello, everyone! Today my topic is: The best gift we can give others is company. If someone says ’gift’, we will first think of something material, like the gifts we get on our birthdays. But in my mind, “gift”is not only something material，but also something spiritual.
What’s the best gift we can give others? This is a question that troubles us for a long time.When I first thought about it, another question came up in my mind: What’s the best gift I have ever received from others?
Here is the story. I have a best friend. She’s a good student, but doesn’t talk much. For a long time, I’ve been questioning myself why she is my best friend. One day, I found the answer. It was my birthday. I received many gifts from others, like books, pencil boxes and so on. I was so happy that I was always thinking about the gifts. As a result, I couldn’t finish my homework on time that day! All the students had gone out to play except me and her. I was so worried about my homework. At that moment only my best friend stayed to be my company and helped me with my homework. The tears in my eyes came out. That was the best gift I received from others on my birthday. She is my best friend just because of company.
We all know that company is the sincerest confession. I think it’s not only a confession. It can also be a small letter, a word and even an eyesight. When people get hurt, a shoulder is enough. When people feel they are left alone in the world, they just need some words to encourage them. Yes, just let them think we are staying with them. They are not alone.
For me, I am a person who is shy to show my feelings to others, but I can keep company with them. You don’t need to show your feelings too much when you are others’ company. Company is just like a language with no sound. It tells you someone is with you. You are not alone. Everyone can be others’ company.
Now I realized the best gift we can give others is company. Let us be others’ company.。
