英语演讲比赛即兴提问【20篇】

My grandpa was among the first group of English teachers sent to Australia by the Chinese government in the 1980s, when our country first opened its door. Off the plane, a hospitable Australian taxi driver asked him, “Where are you going today?” “Where to die?” My grandpa was shocked. With very limited access to authentic English, he had no idea of the Australian pronunciation for the word “today”.

My mom was much luckier in the 1990s when she went to college. She had recorded tapes of BBC and VOA news to listen to. When she stepped on the soil of England, she was much more confident. The first day after arrival, hungry and tired after a long flight, and with a Chinese stomach longing for hot food and drink, her only wish was to have a big breakfast. The British waitress approached her asked with a British accent completely comprehensible to her well trained ear, “Madam, would you like a Continental breakfast or an English breakfast?” Well, the European continent is much bigger than England, so must be the breakfast. She responded: “Continental Breakfast, please.” The waitress took the order and Mom was very satisfied about herself until she discovered the tiny breakfast of cold milk and iced juice, instead of fried bacon and also fried sausages.

I went to an American university for a summer program last year. After watching a movie, I decided to take a bus back to my apartment. However the bus didn’t arrive as scheduled. After waiting for about 20 minutes in the darkness, I was very uneasy and also scared. I stood there, staring into the direction which the bus should come from. But there was no bus but a street singer singing some unknown songs with his noisy guitar. The wind brought a feeling of chill, and as more and more stores closed and fewer and fewer people passed by, I couldn’t help shivering in the cold darkness. Suddenly, a piece of familiar music flowed into my ear. It was the best-known Chinese folk song: the Jasmine Flower! He was playing the Jasmine Flower with his guitar. Automatically, I tuned my Chinese ears to the familiar and nostalgic melody, with my heart warmed and my eyes wet. He played that music again and again until the bus came and I went aboard .

From strangeness, misunderstanding to cross cultural resonance, it takes three generations. The driving force behind the change is globalization, which offers opportunities for cultures to meet, to break down barriers between countries, and to bring peoples together. When the Chinese folk song played by an American street singer got me through coldness and fear, I also came to realize that intimate connection brought about by globalization and also cross cultural resonance can also help the world get through difficulties and disputes.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you would ask me whether globalization is enough, I will definitely say “no”. Globalization is a powerful force available to us, enabling people to communicate, to help, and to warm, just like what the American street singer did to me at that cold and dark night.

Smile

What is a smile? Some people say that the expression is the heart. I think that smile is a heart, is a strong It is a detached charm; smile is a grace, it has a warm and friendly, with acceptance and caring, with tolerance and open-minded with a relaxed and optimistic. Therefore, in working and living in a smile treat everyone around them has become my greatest wish. I smiled through every day.

Every day, I smile, I love the education of students. Early in the morning, accompanied by sun, we are ushering in a group of group of students, they have lovely, and some naughty naughty, some clever, some wood satisfied, ... ..., no matter who, no matter what he is from the family, No matter how his performance, I smiled and treat each of them.

Mischievous and occasionally also to blame, because of deterioration and while the loss due to discipline, but the office really does not keep ideas and personal considerations, the children will really be you, bit by bit to see their progress, you will more to bloom broad smiles on their faces.

Normal years, no matter what kind of class, as a teacher, guides the efforts of the children's mental and physical immersion in between the lines, so that high-spirited children from the passion straightforward, and so it goes, teachers and students do not stress and worry, so naturally, such a statement to the words to, so that the soul of the teachers and students mingled with the class as What is Education?

His seventeen years of education told me that education is a dynamic process of human spiritual encounter and dialogue. Education is looking forward to that education is in hand, education is the clarity, education is exciting, full of education with regards to the truth, education filled with smiling faces. The face of my students, I would like to smile every day.

Every day, I smile, to live together with my colleagues. People encounter is a margin of its own. Moreover, today, we have a common cause to come together, how can we not smile to cherish? Smile is the一泓spring water from the bottom of my heart, the soul of a tacit understanding friends, and strangers is to shorten the distance.

In November, I bid farewell to each other overnight partner, leaving the plants in the chest clear Xinzhuang Town primary school, went to a new collective --- a small aircraft to China. Lonely? Regret it?

When friends heard of the sorry and asked with concern, I always smile to tell you: all could hang good! School teachers and soon familiar, it's a sincere heart to the smiling face of a sincere life, in the face of work: Every day, we smiled and talked about the cause of the school, the school's development, all other schools; a smile on the shuttle classrooms, inter-office, even though every day seems to have endless things busy, but its music also fills the air with warmth! I am happy, I smile.

Every day, I smile to face itself. I think that there is no heart murmur smile flow, there will be no free and easy life. ,

Functions, regardless of how high or how inconspicuous impressive, I do not have the time ecstasy, nor dismissive of secretly laughing, I smiled frankly accepted the blessing of his companions.

I know that school is my lucky love, duty and destiny of the appointment is lucky, I have to smile thanks to all! Difficulty comes, I have discouraged, but also thought of retreat, but in the end I was the courage to meet the challenges of a smile, because I believe that with a smile the face of suffering, then tomorrow, if you will like the bright smile today. Nevertheless, every day, every day, I also can not own them smile?

Teachers with a sincere smile treatment of students, to treat themselves, to treat everyone around you, we will have a life unmatched beauty and free and easy. Let us hope that smiled torch, go together like a glorious tomorrow, let us smile, the life of a brilliant show shine. Dear teachers, please let a smile every day!

Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen,

By the time we are born onto this land, our own Chinese story begins. Only when we put our stories together, can we discover something new.

My mom was among the first generation in China to pick up a dual major, trade together with English. Her mom, my grandma, was a professor at the same college. And now, I am following my family’s footsteps, at the same university. I want to accomplish a dream that has been passed on for three generations.

When grandma entered college, she was in the age of prime, but education wasn’t. It was an age when China had a literacy of merely over 50 percent; it was an age when one out of eight got enrolled by a university or college; it was an age when even the top-class universities in China were not recognized by the world. It was with the aspiration of changing education for the better that my grandma became a teacher, in pursuit of teaching students at home and learning more about the abroad.

When my mother crossed the threshold of higher education into college, she was experiencing the tides of the Reform and Opening-up. It was an age when China was ready to embrace the world. With the demand for English talents staying high, she brought her talents to the field of international trade, with the hope of broadening her horizon and telling her international clients a Chinese story.

30 years later, it is already a new era when I step into the classroom where my mom and my grandma studied. The ambience in the renovated classroom is urging me to embark on a new journey; yet on the bookshelf, the books passed on since my grandma’s age is reminding me of a dream that has never changed: becoming a language scholar with a global vision, and be a good narrator of the Chinese story.

I took out my grandma’s notebook, which was already old and gray, trying to learn something new from the past. On the frontpage, wrote one of the earliest Chinese stories, taken from the Great Learning: “If you can do something new, then let it happen every day. With perseverance, every day becomes a new day.”

It was the moment when I realized that there has been something unchanged in the new era: that is always equipping ourselves with the new ideas and keep in pace with the time which never waits. Only by bearing this virtue in our minds that has inherited by the Chinese people for 5,000 years, can we gain both the confidence and the competence in telling a good Chinese story to all.

Tell the Chinese story to the Chinese people, for a new China with cultural confidence; tell the Chinese story to every global citizen, and together we build a community of prosperity, peace, and a shared future. The story of my mom, my grandma and myself will always remind me of the mission of a language learner.

I’m now crossing the threshold into a New Era, and now I fell I am ready to tell a new Chinese story to new audience. Thank you very much!

Hello,everyone,

My name is Hank. I’m six years old. I have been studying English for half a year in the

English school. I am fond of watching cartoon which is called Ultraman. I also like doing sports, especially running. At the same time ,I always hope to get the toy car as a present. My favorite food is strawberry ice-cream. There’re five persons in my family, my grandma, my grandpa, my mother, my father, and me. And I love all of them.

Next, I want to tell a story of A Clever Panda to all of you . I hope you’ll like it.

But the pumpkin is too big. The panda can’t take it home.

Suddenly she sees a bear riding a bike toward her. She watches the bike.

“I know!I have a good idea.” she jumps and shouts happily,

“I can roll a pumpkin. It’s like a wheel.”

So she rolls the pumpkin to her home. When her mother sees the big pumpkin,she is surprised, “Oh, my God! How can you carry it home?”the little panda answers proudly, “I can’t lift it, but I can roll it.”

Her mother smiled and says，“What a clever girl! Use you heard to do something,”

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

Kipling said:“East is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall

meet!” But now, a century later, they have met.

They have met in business. They have met in education. They have met in the

arts. Some people will argue that these meetings will leave us with a choice

between east and west, but I believe that the best future lies in the creative

combination of both worlds. We can make western ideas, customs and technology

our own, and adapt them to our own use. We can enjoy the best of both worlds,

because our tradition is, above all, one of selecting the best and making it our

own.

I love Beijing and Hennan opera because it always reminds me of who I am.

But I am also a fan of pop music, especially English songs. So I have combined

eastern melody with western language. It is called western henna opera.

When two cultures meet, there may be things in one culture, which do not

fit into the tradition of the other. When this happens, we need to learn to

understand and respect the customs of another culture. Then there are certain

things some people may not like. To this, I will say, if you do not like it,

please try to tolerate it. To learn to tolerate what you personally don’t like

is a great virtue at a time when different cultures mix and merge. Before us,

there are two rivers, eastern and western cultures. At present, they may run in

different courses. But eventually, they will converge into the vast sea of human

culture.

Right now, I can see peoples of eastern and western cultures, standing side

by side, singing the Olympic theme song: we are hand in hand, heart to heart,

together we will shape a beautiful tomorrow! Thank you!

“Globalization is a conspiracy.” my South African friend, Nuhu, once told me. I was in a shock while he explained, “It’s a game that we’re forced to play by the rules set by the superior westerners.” And by learning about the drive of the original globalization, the primitive accumulation of capital, I’m convinced that enough is enough. The unequal, violent exchange should have been enough since a long time ago.

However, what we do see today is that China has risen up by selling our products around the globe and learning advanced technology from others. And Africa is also believed to be the next China, another economic hub in the near future. So, although this might be an unfair game to play like what Nuhu claims, what he fails to see is that globalization is the very ladder for nations, especially those at the bottom of the global hierarchy to climb up. This win-win globalization is not enough. We can have more of it.

But what is the backlash? We have been fearing that the tide of globalization, the outpouring of western values will undermine our own. So when the global stage is not hearing a lot from the Chinese culture and not to mention the African culture, I guess Nuhu is onto something. The globalization that amplifies some cultures while extinguishing the others should have been enough since the very beginning.

And yet that’s not the whole picture. We see that our traditional works like Sun Tzu’s Art of War being worshiped by businessmen around the globe makes us start to relook at it and appreciate it again. And the Nobel Prize awarding for Moyan’s literature leads us to reflect on the development of our villages. So in the past, only we, Chinese people protect and pass on Chinese culture; but now, the international scholars, professors or even just ordinary people all over the world who get interested in our culture are preserving it. The uniqueness not well-protected by us transforms into the diversity universally-respected by global citizens. It is because of globalization that China and its culture are truly on a global stage.

So globalization is actually an on-going process that keeps surprising us while startling those worries and fears. It’s a dynamic system that we should look for ways to utilize and enhance.

But with the Brexit and the success of Trumpism, it seems major countries are all shifting away from globalization. But just because they are slowing down, making turns and adjusting themselves instead of peddling up, it doesn’t mean they are going for anti-globalization.

We are at an unprecedented point where the world becomes ever so connected that we need to figure out the boundaries and balance between censorship and openness; sameness and differences; patriotism and global citizenship. It’s the best time that every nation should seek for a better role to play in the globalization where we should continue to make improvements on.

It’s very understandable for nations to panic and make changes but we should never quit for it’s clear to us all that globalization is the only way that we seek for co-prosperity.

Globalization is not a conspiracy planned already, but a beautifully unfinished song to be written by us all.

Enough is SO NOT enough.

when my older son was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, my first reaction was relief - i finally knew the reason for his behavior. however, i was also overwhelmed with sadness, fear and anger. i felt sorry for my son and for myself. like many others in similar circumstances, my question to god was "why me?"

through the grace of god, i am now able to focus on my gratitude. i believe god chose me to raise my son because he knew that i would give him the best i have. he will teach me to love and understand him for who he is. i am grateful that i have my son, and grateful that god chose me to be his mother.

there is power and healing in gratitude.

how can gratitude help us in our everyday lives as moms? think about the difference you can make in your family’s life just by noticing and being thankful for all the great things they do. when you express gratitude, you show your love and appreciation. everyone needs to feel these things every day. sometimes as moms we feel that no one appreciates us - and it is true that moms are usually last on the list to be thanked. one way you can teach gratitude is by example. even on the days when it seems your children or husband are doing everything wrong, find a reason to thank them. take the time and energy to look for the good. think about the things that your family does that deserve a “thank you.” you might say to your husband, “thank you for working so hard for our family," or, to your child, “i really appreciate your sense of humor - it feels good to laugh.” expressing your gratitude helps family members to understand how it feels to be appreciated. and if they still don’t catch on, let them know when you feel unappreciated. you can also tell them how great it makes you feel when they do express gratitude.

gratitude is a wonderful motivator when you need cooperation. when enlisting the help of my two year old, i praise him often and with enthusiasm. i let him know that he is a great helper. i know i am teaching him appreciation because he expresses it to me. the other day i brought a bunch of multi-colored roses home. for five days, at least once or twice a day, my son thanked me for the flowers.

sometimes we get so busy and caught up in daily life that we forget to be grateful. we expect everyone to do their share without being asked. the only time anyone hears anything is when a chore has not been completed. this attitude, over the long haul, will develop very resentful and uncooperative family members.

when life is good, gratitude is easy. it becomes more challenging to be grateful when we are experiencing hard times. financial hardship, long-term illness, the death of a loved one and marital strife can all be trying and difficult. it is hard to find anything to be grateful for. but while pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. we have a choice in how we view our circumstances. we can turn our hearts to god and trust that he has a plan for us. we can be thankful for the lessons we learn and the opportunities for personal growth and transformation. look at all the people in this world who share the gifts they received during especially difficult times of their life. it is the painful times of my life that have made me stronger, wiser, and more loving today.

i recently attended a powerful seminar on the various levels of energy that a human being emanates. the presenter identified seven different levels of energy. the first level of energy is defined by feelings of apathy and thoughts of victimization. a person at a level two energy has feelings of anger and thoughts of conflict. as a person moves up the energy scale, their feelings and thoughts are more positive. at level seven, one would experience unconditional love and no judgmental thoughts. only god radiates at level seven. the average person emits energy at a level of 2.5. to experience peace and joy, an in- dividual must raise his energy level to 5 or 6.

so how can we raise our energy level and open our heart to joy? one powerful way is to develop an attitude of gratitude. look at every- one with grateful eyes. listen to your heart and the heart of your loved ones. speak words of affirmation every day of your life. be grateful for your life with all its lessons and blessings. the more grateful thoughts and feelings you experience and express the more instrumental you will be in healing the world. and your outlook on life will improve in the process.

Good afternoon, honorable judges, dear teachers & friends.

I'm Lai Senhan from the University of International Business & Economics. Do you know what date is it today? Today is the Olympic Date. I'm so glad to stand here today to share my idea about Beijing Olympic Games together with you all. The title of my speech is: what can we do for Beijing Olympic Games?

First of all, let me tell you a story that happened 2 years ago. At the end of August, 2007, when I decided to come to Beijing for study, my friends hel rewell Party for me. They said: after your graduation, you should look for a job in Beijing, and then in 2008, we shall go to visit you during the Olympic Games. I laughed and answered: OK, no problem!

Time flied and 2 years passed. Now I am a graduate. My teachers and classmates always ask me: what's your plan after your graduation? Go back home, stay in Beijing, or go to some other places? And I always answer: I will stay in Beijing. I make this decision not because of my promise to my friends 2 years ago, but because: I've fallen in love with Beijing! I'm eager to welcome the coming Olympic Games together with my fellow countrymen, and I wish I could do something for the Olympics & for the city.

As we know, Beijing will host the 29th Summer Olympic Games in 2008. As a Chinese, I think many people are thinking: what we can do for Beijing Olympic Games. Most of us are not athletes, we cannot take part in competitions directly; we are not officials either, we don't need to do the preparatory work. We are only ordinary people, what we can do!

There are still so many things we can do! For example, for me, I am a graduate majoring Business English. As far as I am concerned, I will keep on learning English hard, and apply for being a volunteer. I will use English to serve the Games together with other volunteers. And also, as a businessman at that time, I will avail myself of the great commercial opportunities that the Olympics brings to us, make more efforts to offer my contribution to the growth of our national economy.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, I’m very glad to make a speech here.

Today my topic is “I love you, China.”

Since the day I was born, I began to have a proud name—Chinese. Since the

day I began to talk, the most beautiful sentence I’ve ever learnt has been “I

love you, China!”

I love you, China, and I’m so proud of being a Chinese. I’m proud that I’ve

got the beautiful yellow skin, black eyes and black hair. I’m also proud that I

speak the most beautiful language in the world—Chinese.

I love you, China, for I can feel the deep love you give me every day,

every minute. Last year, I got an opportunity to visit the United States of

America. During my staying there, my father’s boss once invited my family to

dinner. While at , he looked at me and asked: “Little boy, how long have you

been in America?” “About a month,” I answered, “How lucky you are!” he said, “If

you were living in China, how could you learn such perfect English?” I smiled

and told him proudly that all the students in China are able to learn English at

school. I saw his surprised eyes and said to myself, “I’m proud of you, China

”

Good evening, everyone. My name is WangHaili. I am an outgoing girl who likes

reading and traveling. It’s really my great honor to stand here and give

everyone a short speech.

People say, youth is fire which is ignited by passion. People say, youth is a

chapter of the poem which is written by stories. The color of youth is bright

and we make most use of our ardor to draw the scenes to the canvas of painting.

But we may be confused and lose our direction in the youth time. Under this,

youth slips away. Roman Roland says, life doesn’t issue return ticket and can

never come back once sets out. So we should seize the short youth time and try

our best to pursue our ideal. Do what should we do and let our youth without

regret.

When we refer to ideal, we will realize the importance of ideal. Ideal is the

beacon,. Without ideal, we will lose the firm direction. Without direction, we

will lose our life. According to this, every one of us should establish our own

ideal .so that we have the direction of straggle to the future. Tolstoy tells

us, we should have the life objective from the whole life to the second. So we

should cherish every moment and form our systematic objective. Youth is the

prime time. We have strong body and energy and can sense the meaning of life

under the guide of ideal.

As we know, the ideal is plentiful and reality is skinny. But we should

believe that we will become stronger and stronger in the way to pursue ideal.

Future is unknown,. If we hope our future is nice, we should enrich our youth

time and find the direction of future.

Let us use our youth to pursue our ideal and make our future wonderful. So we

will have gorgeous life.

A young idler,an old beggar almost everyone knows the famous chinese saying：a young idler，an old beggar. throughout history，we have seen many cases in which this saying has again and again proved to be true. it goes without saying that the youth is the best time of life，during which one's mental and physical states are at their peaks. it takes relatively less time and pains to learn or accept new things in a world full of changes and rapid developments.

in addition，one is less likely to be under great pressure from career，family and health problems when young. therefore，a fresh mind plus enormous energy will ensure success in different aspects of life. of course，we all know：no pains，no gains. if we don't make every effort to make good use of the advantages youth brings us，it is impossible to achieve any goals. as students，we should now try our best to learn all the subjects well so that we can be well prepared for the challenges that we will face in the future.

Breathing with Dreams

I have a question for you. ‘Do you know how to breathe?’ Okay, I know what you are thinking now, “Girl, are you kidding me? Everybody knows how to breathe.” Actually, if I were you sitting down in there one year ago, I would think, “How did she make it to the final?”

Alright, seriously speaking, what I am talking about is “the art of breathing”, and it’s about breathing in a Yoga way: peacefully and always under control. What it reveals is the real essence of perseverance, “In order to achieve, sometimes, you need to wait.” And when it comes to things you really want in life, it is as hard as it could possibly be.

For me, singing is a life thing. When I am singing on the stage, I feel whole-heartedly involved, and the self-fulfillment it renders is inexplicably thrilling. But with all the realistic problems I need to face in life, all those I want seem too far to be true– so far that I am terrified that I will never ever be able to get there and that gradually I will be carried away by the currents and torrents of life. I’ve been drowned into this ambivalence for so long. Now, with a refined perspective towards self-realization, I am waiting, in a graceful posture, and knowing that I am going to get there. And on this, I should say, I owe Yoga a thank-you.

I still remember, about one year ago, I attended a Yoga course for the very first time. And to tell you the truth, I went there for a nice figure. However, after practicing for some time, I discovered that there was an ineffable inner-strength burgeoning sneakily in me while I totally focused. In order not to let go this significant power, I started to picture all I wanted in my mind while I was fully concentrating, for I believe the wings of imagination could make things possible. I learned to breathe with my dreams, shaping the eagerness into this elegant gesture of persisting.

And now, if you ask me what exactly is “the art of breathing”, I would say it is indeed “the art of living”. It combines the search of balance, the grace of patience, and the awareness of appreciation.

So even though feelings are tied up with life routines, I could still hold onto that free EGO which I have always adored: the girl who is singing under the spotlight, with all her heart and soul; the girl who is persevering with all she believes in and always feels grateful for what has been bestowed on her.

That girl is now standing right here in front of you, hoping that you are all as lucky as she is, living with dreams and love. No matter how tough things get, I tell myself, I tell myself that, every single thing I am doing now is every step closer to that very moment of my trajectory, just like every Yoga breath to every blossom moment of my life.

有梦想的呼吸

我有个问题要问你。你知道怎么呼吸吗?“好吧，我知道你现在在想什么，”女孩，你在跟我开玩笑吗?每个人都知道如何呼吸，“实际上，如果我是你在那里坐了下来，一年前，我会想，”她是如何使它的最后?“

好吧，说正经的，我所说的是“呼吸的艺术”，这是关于瑜伽的呼吸：和平的，总是在控制之下。它揭示的是毅力的真正本质，“为了达到，有时，你需要等待”，当它涉及到你真正想要的东西，它是尽可能的努力，因为它可能是。

对我来说，唱歌是一种生活的东西。当我在舞台上唱歌，我觉得全心全意地参与和自我实现，它呈现是莫名的兴奋。但所有的现实问题，我需要面对的生活中，所有那些我想太远是真的–到目前为止，我害怕，我永远无法到达那里，我会慢慢的由电流和人生的激流冲走。我已经陷入这种矛盾这么久。现在，一个精致的自我实现的角度来看，我在等待，在一个优雅的姿态，并知道我要去那里。在此，我要说，我欠了瑜伽的一封感谢信。

我还记得，大约一年前，我第一次参加了瑜伽课程。说实话，我去那里是为了一个好身材。然而，练了一段时间后，我发现有一种不可言喻的内在力量，新兴的偷偷在我完全集中。为了不让这种强大的力量，我开始想象所有我想在我的脑海里，而我是完全集中，因为我相信想象力的翅膀可以使事情成为可能。我学会了与我的梦想一起呼吸，塑造了这一优雅姿态的渴望。

而现在，如果你问我什么是“呼吸的艺术”，我会说它确实是“生活的艺术”。它结合了平衡的寻找，耐心的恩典，以及欣赏的意识。

所以即使感情与生活，我仍然可以保持自由的自我，我很喜欢：是谁在聚光灯下唱歌的女孩，用她所有的心和灵魂;女孩坚持她相信永远感恩所赐予她的。

那个女孩现在正站在你面前，希望你能像她一样幸运，生活在梦想和爱中。不管事情有多艰难，我告诉自己，我告诉自己，我现在所做的每一件事都是在我人生轨迹的那一刻更接近一步，就像每一次瑜伽呼吸对我生命中的每一刻。

But in retrospect, the destruction of my self was so repetitive that I

started to see a pattern. The self changed, got affected, broken, destroyed, but

another one would evolve -- sometimes stronger, sometimes hateful, sometimes not

wanting to be there at all.The self was not constant. And how many times would

my self have to die before I realized that it was never alive in the first

place?

I grew up on the coast of England in the 70s. My dad is white from

Cornwall, and my mom is black from Zimbabwe. Even the idea of us as a family was

challenging to most people. But nature had its wicked way, and brown babies were

born. But from about the age of five, I was aware that I didnt fit. I was the

black atheist kid in the all-white Catholic school run by nuns.I was an anomaly,

and my self was rooting around for definition and trying to plug in. Because the

self likes to fit, to see itself replicated, to belong. That confirms its

existence and its importance. And it is important.

I Regain Confidence

I received a devastating blow to my self-confidence in the first interview of my college years. I applied to be a host in our Student Acting Troupe and felt confident that I would be accepted. But one of the panel members told me: "You seem inadequate and you are a little vertically-challenged." My life has never been the same since. I used bigger heels to complement my height and psychological maneuvers and tricks to hide my lack of confidence. But no matter how hard I tried to look the part, there was still something missing.

As president of English Club, I organized the rehearsal of Snow White for an English party. Unfortunately, we could not find an actor to be the last dwarf. It had to be someone who was humorous by nature and fluent in English. Suddenly, all eyes turned to me, and I knew I would have to be the dwarf. To my great surprise and delight, once on stage, I was totally absorbed in the performance and my humorous nature was put to full use. As the dwarf, I was a big hit.

Yes, each of us is only one among millions of others, but each of us is an individual and each of us is unique. Cultivating our individuality will transform our lives, making of them a kaleidoscope of new colors and textures.

A world deprived of diversity would be a bland and boring place. The real tragedy is not being short or shy or ugly, but having your identity lost in a world in which everyone is a clone of a model cool boy or a flawless charming girl.

Given a choice, I would rather be ugly than live in such a world. I'd rather be a genuine dwarf accompanying a Snow White than be a Snow White among nothing but Snow Whites. I would rather be myself. I would contribute my individual and unique colors to create a more diverse universe. Please, be yourself.

我重树信心

大学生活的几年里，当我参加第一次面试时，我的自信心受到了沉重的打击。我向“学生剧团”申请出演一个主角，而且我十分自信地认为我会被录用。但是,其中有个剧团成员告诉我:“你似乎不太合适出演这个角色，因为你的身高有点问题。”我从未遇到过这种情况。我穿着高跟鞋来弥补我的身高，采用心理策略和技巧来掩盖自己信心的缺乏。但是，不论我怎样努力进入角色，感觉还是缺少些什么。

作为英语俱乐部的主席，我为英语晚会组织排演了《白雪公主》短剧。不幸的是，我们找不到合适的人选出演最后一个小矮人。这个角色必须生性幽默，英语流利。突然，所有人的目光都转向了我，我知道那个小矮人就是我了。让我极度奇怪而又高兴的是，一上台，我完全投入到演出中，而且我那幽默的天性被发挥得淋漓尽致。作为一个‘’小矮人”，我取得了巨大的成功。

的确，我们中的任何一个人都是千百万中的一员，但我们中的每个人都是一个与众不同的个体。发挥我们自己的个性会改变我们的生活，使它们成为美丽的万花筒。

失去了多样性的世界是个冷漠、乏味的地方。真正的悲剧不是个矮、害羞或丑陋，而是将自己的个性迷失在一个克隆的世界里，那里到处都是典型的酷男孩或无瑕、迷人的好姑娘。

如果让我选择，我宁可面貌五陋，也不愿生活在这样一个世界里。我宁可做一个伴随“白雪公主”的真实的小矮人，也不愿做“白雪公主”世界里的一个白雪公主，而随波逐流。我宁可作为一个真实的自我而出现。我愿将自己独特的、与众不同的色彩奉献给多姿多彩的世界。“走自己的路，让别人去说吧!”

Accept the Gift from Life

Ladies and Gentlemen：

Today I’m glad that I’m standing here talking to you all. As the title given，

I am going to talk you about a way of treating people and things in life. My

speech here basically includes 2 parts， in the former of which I‘ll describe you

the present occasion we teenagers are in.， as well as the reason behind. Then

it’s about the several opinions of mine toward the case above.

Undoubtedly， every one of us has stepped into adolescence， a period of time

where the most

exciting and mysterious changes take place. Boys， apparently become more

ambitious. Girls， in some ways， start to dream and become more sensitive about

the world. All in all， as if our emotions become much stronger， somehow we’re

always trapped in circles and struggling against something that can’t be changed

anyway. We complain about how fragile our friendship is， how little people know

about us， how unfair the life is，etc. It seems that every time we fail， we blame

it to the tough conditions we’re in， while never notice a problem inside

ourselves， that we’re never satisfied.

Let’s just imagine that there was an old lady. What she sees was her

neighbors’ being mean again while not how kind they were when they took care of

her sick body. What she saw was her dog’s annoying barking while not how much

loyalty it had shown.What she saw was always so depressing that it finally

turned her into an unpleasant person. Think about how our life would be if we

stand in her shoe.

Why don’t we focus our attention on how much we’ve already got in stead? You

know it’s really simple to do as there’s a tremendous amount of examples. Like

the popular Jetpack Joy Ride on your Iphone， you can enjoy it whenever you like，

whereas in some poor area people don’t even know such thing as Iphone.

Actually we should be thankful about the richness we’ve got， thankful that

with each sunrise taking place we don’t need to starve to call it a day，

thankful that the people we love are still in health， that we still got much to

hold on. As a saying on website，” The world is tough， but I’m tougher.” What

doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

Every day is a gift from life， all we need is to accept it， cherish the

lessons life has taught us， so as to achieve our goal with high spirit. In this

way， someday when we leave the world， we leave no regrets.

Thank you for listening.

My Attitude towards to Marks

For our students， marks is above everything. Teachers will judge us from our

marks. With marks we can be enrolled into junior middle schools. With marks， we

can be enrolled into senior middle schools. With marks we can be enrolled into

college. With marks we can be enrolled into postgraduate and doctrine studies.

Still with marks we can be graded and be allowed to go abroad for further

studies. Our parents will be strict with us with the marks. Our society judge us

from marks. However， sometimes we students compare one another with marks

directly. We are completely controlled by marks. We like them and we feel sorry

for them. But what attitude towards our marks should we take?

Truly， marks functions cannot be underestimated. In terms of test in our

study， marks are fair and real. That is the reason why we say "Everyone is equal

before marks. "

However， I think marks are the sole standard to judge the success or failure

of students in exams. Sometimes， marks more than ten or less than one or two in

our exams comparing with others mean not everything. The success or failure in

exams will be influenced by experience on the spot and the examinee’s health

etc. Once in a while one cannot fail in exams. " Success or failure is common

sense for military. " I think everyone is familiar with the famous saying. Don’t

you think such will be the case with our study? In exams， one cannot be "

never-defeated general" . Even though one will be very good in everyday study，

he cannot succeed in every exam sometimes. We can get proof from the fact that

the very best one we call "Number One Scholar" in the entrance exams for college

and ordinary middle school and specialized secondary school over the years is

not eminent above all others nor top student in every study.

As a matter of fact， "high marks" and "ability" are not unified. Some time

ago， a new phrase " high marks but poor competence" came into being. Once I

happened to meet such a teacher as this .It is said that the teacher just

graduated from a far-famed key university. But his teaching result is much less

than that of the one who just graduated from a not-well-renowned college. When

lecturing， the teacher only repeated what the text-books says， which was very

dull so the his students’ interest in learning was not aroused. His teaching was

short of unity of teaching and learning. At present there is a fact that we know

a few brilliant and top college graduates are not qualified for their posts. The

reason for it may be lack of the ability to combine knowledge learnt from books

with pragmatics in their work. Students of this kind will be successful in every

exam but they will be able to use freely their knowledge in their posts. Don’t

you think it waste training such persons for the country?

To sum up from the above， I can say marks are not absolutely authoritative

for some. If we neglect training and developing the students’ ability and

competence and if we only seek for the high marks， we will be absolutely wrong.

We should take an objective attitude towards the marks. Neither should we

neglect them nor should we overvalue them like a God.
