英語演講小短文

1、英語演講小短文(2分鐘的）As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity. Constant learning supplies us with in

2、exhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty. Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common

3、fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What's worse,

4、 the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the

5、 stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career. 學(xué)習(xí)之于心靈，就像食物之于身體一樣。攝取了適量的營養(yǎng)食物，我們的身體得以生長而肌肉得以發(fā)達(dá)。同樣地，我們應(yīng)該日復(fù)一日不斷地學(xué)習(xí)以保持我們敏銳的心智能力，并擴(kuò)充我們的智力容量。不斷的學(xué)習(xí)提供我們用不盡的燃料，來驅(qū)使我們磨利我們的推理、分析和判斷的能力。持續(xù)的學(xué)習(xí)是在信息時(shí)代中跟時(shí)代并駕齊驅(qū)的最穩(wěn)當(dāng)?shù)姆椒ǎ彩窃谧儎?dòng)的世

6、代中成功的可靠保證。 一旦學(xué)習(xí)停止，單調(diào)貧乏的生活就開始了。視學(xué)校為汲取知識的唯一場所是種常見的謬誤。相反地，學(xué)習(xí)應(yīng)該是一種無終止的歷程，從生到死。由于世界一直快速地在變動(dòng)，只要學(xué)習(xí)停頓數(shù)日就將使人落后。更糟的是，蟄伏在我們潛意識深處的獸性本能就會復(fù)活，削弱我們追求高貴理想的意志，弱化我們掃除成功障礙的決心，而且扼殺我們凈化我們?nèi)烁竦挠?。缺少學(xué)習(xí)將不可避免地導(dǎo)致心靈的停滯，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。因此，為了保持心理年輕，我們必須將學(xué)習(xí)當(dāng)作一生的事業(yè)。 2heavy schoolwork【課業(yè)繁重】 In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned

7、 to high school students is too heavy. While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults. High should be allowed more time for play. Playing is not wasting time, as some think. It gives them physical exercise, and al

8、so exercise their imagination. Which tends to be stifled by too much study. Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally. I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork. I do think, however, that a red

9、uction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole. 我認(rèn)為目前高中生的課業(yè)實(shí)在太重了，雖然說學(xué)生的確應(yīng)當(dāng)念書，但是要想長大成為健全的人，他門還需要一些其它的東西，所以應(yīng)該給高中生較多從事娛樂的時(shí)間。娛樂并不如某些人所想的，是在浪費(fèi)時(shí)間，它可以讓學(xué)生鍛煉身體，發(fā)揮被繁重課業(yè)扼殺的想象力。此外，繁重的課業(yè)加諸在高中生身上的壓力可能引起嚴(yán)重的情緒緊張，這對身心都有害。我并非主張廢除學(xué)校課業(yè)，但是我認(rèn)為減輕目前繁重的課業(yè)對于學(xué)生和整個(gè)社會都是有益的。 3Time【

10、時(shí)間】 Lost time is never found again. This is something which I learned very clearly last semester. I spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer. I finally realized that something had to be done. It was time for a change. Now I have a new plan for using my time wisely. I have set

11、 my alarm clock ahead half an hour. This will give me a head start on the day. I have also decided to keep a log of what I do and when I do it. Looking back on what Ive done will give me some ideas on how to reorganize my time. 時(shí)光一去不復(fù)返，這是我上學(xué)期清楚學(xué)到的教訓(xùn)。我浪費(fèi)很多時(shí)間四處游蕩，以致于我的成績開始退步。最后我終于了解到我必須有所作為；該是痛改前非的時(shí)候了

12、。 現(xiàn)在我有一個(gè)明智運(yùn)用時(shí)間的新方法。我已將鬧鐘早撥半小時(shí)，這將使我這一天的作息提前開始。我也決定將我所做的一切及做這些事的時(shí)間記錄下來?；仡櫸宜龅氖虑闀l(fā)我如何重新安排我的時(shí)間。 4Work and Play【工作與娛樂】 Work and play do not contradict each other; in fact, they complement each other. As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." A life burdened with work le

13、ads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work. On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions. What I usually do to relax after school is jogging

14、 and seeing movies. Usually I don't spare time for exercise, but I value the physical education class at school. Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure. On weekends, I'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment. I feel revived and energetic for

15、another week's work-load. 工作與娛樂并不互相沖突，事實(shí)上，它們之間的關(guān)系還相輔相成。有句格言說：整日工作而沒有休閑娛樂，會令人變得沉悶乏味。被工作重?fù)?dān)壓得喘不過氣來的生活，將使你一事無成，因?yàn)槟銓σ怀刹蛔兊睦泄赂械絽挓?。由另一方面來說，適度的娛樂活動(dòng)能提供各種管道，來渲泄你被壓抑的情緒，減輕單調(diào)生活中的緊張與不悅。 放學(xué)之后，我最常做的休閑活動(dòng)，便是慢跑與看電影。通常我并不特地?fù)艹鰰r(shí)間來做運(yùn)動(dòng)，但是我很重視學(xué)校的體育課。在操場上慢跑幾圈，無疑地可以減輕一天的壓力。在周末時(shí)，我都去看早場電影，享受視覺饗宴。如此一來，我將有如再生般的充沛活力，去面對下一星期

16、的工作量。 5My first Job【我的第一份工作】 My first job was at a cramming school. It was three years ago when I just graduated from junior high school and finished the entrance examination. since I had nothing to do that summer, I decided to find a job, tasting the joy of independence. I was responsible for answe

17、ring the telephone and taking the message. I worked eight hours a day, six days a week. The work was not difficult nor heavy to me and I guess I did well. The most delighted thing was perhaps that I could spend the money I earned all by myself. 我的第一份工作是在一家補(bǔ)習(xí)班做事。那是三年前我剛從國中畢業(yè)，考完聯(lián)考時(shí)的事了。既然我那整個(gè)夏天都閑著沒事，倒不

18、如找份差事，嘗嘗獨(dú)立賺錢的快樂。 我負(fù)責(zé)接聽電話且紀(jì)錄留言的工作。我一天工作八小時(shí)，一星期工作六天。那份工作對我而言既不困難亦不沉重，所以我想我還滿稱職的。而最令人快樂的事大概莫過于花全部由自己賺來的錢了！ 6My Favorite Sports【我最喜愛的運(yùn)動(dòng)】 Sports help everyone to keep healthy, happy, and efficient. So I pay special attention to games, especially table-tennis. Table tennis is my favorite game. I play it a

19、lmost every day. Table-tennis is an ideal game us because it brings the whole body into action. It strengthens our muscles, expands our lungs, promotes the circulation of the blood, and causes a healthy action of the skin. Besides, it is very amusing and does not cost us much money. Table-tennis is

20、very moderate; it is not so rough as football. It is an indoor game and can be played even on rainy days. Thus, it is my favorite kind of exercise. 運(yùn)動(dòng)能幫助每一個(gè)人保持健康、快樂和有效率。所以我特別重視運(yùn)動(dòng)，特別是桌球，桌球是我最喜歡的運(yùn)動(dòng)。我?guī)缀趺刻焱妗?桌球?qū)ξ覀兌?，是一?xiàng)理想的運(yùn)動(dòng)，因?yàn)樗梢允刮覀內(nèi)磉\(yùn)動(dòng)，它可以增強(qiáng)我們的肌肉，擴(kuò)張我們的肺部，促進(jìn)血液循環(huán)，并且使肌膚產(chǎn)生健康作用，此外，它很有趣而且所費(fèi)不多。桌球是相當(dāng)溫和適中的，它不像

21、足球那么粗野。它是一種室內(nèi)運(yùn)動(dòng)，甚至在下雨天也能玩。因此，桌球是我最喜愛的一種運(yùn)動(dòng)。 One day, a father and his little son were going home. At this age, the boy was interested in all kinds of things and was always asking questions. Now, he asked, "What's the meaning of the word 'Drunk', dad?" "Well, my son," h

22、is father replied, "look, there are standing two policemen. If I regard the two policemen as four then I am drunk." "But, dad," the boy said, " there's only ONE policeman!" 醉酒 一天， 父親與小兒子一道回家。這個(gè)孩子正處于那種對什么事都很感興趣的年齡，老是有提不完的問題。他向父親發(fā)問道：“爸爸，醉字是什么意思？” “唔，孩子，”父親回答說，“你瞧那兒站著兩

23、個(gè)警察。如果我把他們看成了四個(gè)，那么我就算醉了。” “可是，爸爸， ”孩子說，“那兒只有一個(gè)警察呀！”Is Failure a Bad Thing Failure is a common thing in our daily life. As students, we sometimes fail to get high scores in our exams. When we play games, we might be beaten by others. And there are times when we fail to do work well. All these failure

24、s happen naturally and almost every one of us has such experiences. However, there are different attitudes towards failure. Some people lose heart when they fail; they think the world is at its end. Some people dont take failure seriously but just let it be, while some others learn much from failure

25、, and therefore see the light of hope through failure. In my opinion, what is really important is not failure itself, but what we think of failure and what we do after failure. As long as we dont give up, keeping believing in ourselves, and at the same time learn something from failure, well certain

26、ly make our mark in the end. So I am never afraid of failure, for I believe that failure is not a bad thing. Rather, “Failure is the mother of success.” 失敗是壞事嗎 失敗在我們的日常生活中很常見。作為學(xué)生，我們有時(shí)在考試中得不到高分。在我們和其他人比賽時(shí)，有時(shí)會輸。還有的時(shí)候，我們總做不好事情。所有這些失敗都很自然，我們每一個(gè)人都有類似的經(jīng)歷。 然而，面對失敗人們的態(tài)度卻截然不同。一些人失敗后變得灰心喪氣，似乎世界末日到了；一些人不拿失敗當(dāng)回

27、事兒，聽之任之；還有一些人卻從失敗中學(xué)習(xí)東西，從而從失敗中能看到希望。 在我看來，重要的不是失敗本身，而是我們對待失敗的態(tài)度和失敗之后我們的行動(dòng)。只要我們不放棄，相信自己，并從失敗中汲取營養(yǎng)，我們最后一定會取得勝利。因此，我從不害怕失敗，因?yàn)槲蚁嘈攀〔⒉皇菈氖?。相反，“失敗是成功之母”。Ladies and Gentlemen , Good afternoon!

You can sail and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and did not show up for a long time.

We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of the field as a final resting

52、h all along. Sometimes the path will come to a dangerous and difficult place.  It is only with the valiant and gallant spirit of the travelers that it can be passed through.  The vast and mighty Yangtzi River, when it comes to an endless, broad plain, will flow ten thousand miles in a rapi

53、d current. But as it reaches a narrow valley with high ranges of mountains, cliffs and precipices on both sides, which look dangerously steep, the river has to force its way through them in a winding, tortuous course. The same is the case with the developing course of a nation's history.  T
