One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love. Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment. When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,”Richness, can you take me with you?” Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.” Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. “Vanity, please help me!” “I can’t help you, Love.

(examples).but why can’t we absorb the meaningful western holidays and culture. only way for us to protect our traditional culture is to reject the foreign culture the answer is definitely no. what we ought to do is to spare no effort to educate chinese to get to know and treasure our splendid traditions instead of rejecting foreign culture. only by educating can we set our confidence and belief towards our culture. only by educating can we preserve and promote the wealth that our ancesters left for us. at last i’d like to share a famouse saying of gandhi with all of you ,that is:if you want to change the world, then you must change yourself first.” 我很高兴能站在这里,现在我speech-change世界,改变自己。 引人注目的是,西方的节日日益变得越来越流行,而中国的传统节日都是受冷落。在不久的将来大约10医生在北京大学和清华大学宣布,我们应该拒绝入侵的西方节日,因为他们认为西方节日作为一种挑战我们的传统节日和文化。 坦白地说,我不完全同意他们。事实上,我们不应该忽视甚至抛弃我们的传统节日作为中国拥有辉煌的历史和灿烂的传统。(例子)。但是我们为什么不能吸收西方文化的意义。 有明显的原因,一些西方节日在中国非常受欢迎。另一方面,一些西方的节日,我们中国人不合理和有意义的事情,比如父亲节,愚人节等等。另一方面,普遍的全球化使得中西文化在中国的流行。被这一趋势、中国unconsiciously卷入西方节日和文化。 摘要随着世界的发展,文化交流不同国家和民族之间变得更快和更非常多,艺术设计多重要。我们确实是来自不同的国家,但我们是公民相同的世界,所以不同的民族优秀传统文化中找到财富是地球上的每个人都…我们唯一的方法来保护我们的传统文化,就是拒绝外国的文化吗答案是绝对不行。我们应该做的就是不遗余力地教导中国人了解并珍惜我们的辉煌的传统,而不是拒绝外国文化。只有通过教育才能将我们的信心和勇气向我们的文化。只有通过教育才能保持和提升的财富,我们祖先留给我们。 最后,我想说的一个著名的分享与你们在一起。甘地,那就是:如果你想要改变世界,那么你必须改变你自己。”篇二：大学英语演讲稿 英语演讲稿：如何改变自己 而中国的传统节日都是受冷落前不久，在北京大学和清华大学大约 10 doctors in beijing university and qinghua university announced that we should reject 10个医生宣布，我们应该拒绝入侵的西方节日, the invasion of western holidays, because they regard western holidays as an challenge 因为他们认为西方节日作为一种挑战我们的传统节日和文化。 against our traditional festivals and culture. frankly speaking, i don’t quite agree with them. indeed, we should never neglect坦白地说，我不完全同意他们，的确，我们不应该忽视甚至抛弃 or even discard our traditional festivals. as china boasts a brilliant history and splendid 我们的传统节日。因为中国拥有辉煌的历史和灿烂的传统。traditions. but why can’t we absorb the meaningful western holidays and culture. 但是我们为什么不能吸收西方文化的意义。 there are obvious reasons why some western holidays are so popular in china. on有明显的原因为什么一些西方节日在中国非常受欢迎 the one hand, some of the western holidays which we chinese don’t have are 一方面，一些我们中国人没有的西方节日是合理，有意义的。 reasonable and meaningful, such as father’s day and april fool’s day. on the other 比如，父亲节和愚人节。另一方面，普遍全球化使西方文化在中 hand,the prevalence of globalization enables western culture to prevail in china. 国盛行。

诚信与责任英语演讲稿
诚信与责任英语演讲稿 It is true that most of us value honesty highly. However, nowadays we often confront confidence crisis such as cheating, overcharging, fake modities and so on. I think that we should be honest because being honest is not only beneficial to ourselves but also to others and the whole society. The reasons can be listed as follows.Firstly, only honest people can be truly respected by the others and can make more friends over a long period of time. Secondly, honesty, which is the traditional virtue of the Chinese people, can make our life easier and more harmonious. Thirdly, honesty can make our society more stable. A case in point is that Singapore, a society featuring trustworthiness and integrity, has a paratively low criminal rate. Responsbility can be understood in many ways. for the parents , they have had the responsibility for caring for and fostering their children since the birth of their baby.for teachers,both in kindergartens and colleges,they also should be responsible for the study and life of their

你要明白，演讲稿不是普通的英文文章，它是一篇热情洋溢，激情四射的阐述你的观点的文章，它必须能够吸引听众的注意！一篇好的演讲稿应该能够很清楚的一开始就让听众知道你在说什么，做到这一点并不容易，因为有时太过于直接会让大家感到突如其来，应该有一定的缓冲。我看了很多外国名人的演讲后总结出以下几种形式： ①. 问候天气，然后转入正题。 ②. 寒暄。如：good morning!i’m very glad stand here and give you a talk. ③. 开门见山。如：good morning!today i stand here to talk about 有了好的开头，在演讲稿中，为了调动大家的激情，可以多运用排比句，在这点上美国的著名演讲家：martin luther king,jr.可以称的上是专家。 2.演讲稿写好后，你应该背过它，这是最起码的要求！因为如果拿着稿子去演讲的话，听众大都会认为你准备不充分，一开始就无法被你的内容所吸引。同时，这也会给别人一个信号：你的信心不充足。所以，背过它，背的滚瓜烂熟！这才能保证别人会被你吸引住。 3.背过了演讲稿，是处理它的时候了，什么地方该停顿，什么地方语气该加重，什么地方要快读，什么地方要慢读，都要细细斟酌！可以这么说，语气在很大的程度上决定你演讲的成功！
有关责任的英语演讲稿
有关责任的英语演讲稿 In my elementary years, there was a little girl in the class who worked very hard, however she 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, I was so restless and thoughtless, I always tried to get more time to play and enjoy myself. So she was always slighted over by me. One day before the final exam, she came up to me and said, “Could you please explain this to me? I can not under stand it. I just want a good score”. I started explaining, and finished in a hurry because I made an appointment with my friend to play computer games together. Not surprisingly, she again did very badly in the exam. After that, she began to dislike me and said no words to me. It let me feel very bad. Maybe it is a little thing to you now, but I was about eight or nine years old at that time, in a way, it was the very starting point of my life, for I began to understand the word “responsibility” and to lear n to always do my duties faithfully. Gradually, I had learnt the truly

I have found mine a good many times. Sometimes this was expected--often it was unexpected. I know a man who is not afraid to sleep with a rattle-snake, but you could not get him to sleep with a safety-razor. I never had the courage to talk across a long, narrow room. I should be at the end of the room facing all the audience. If I attempt to talk across a room I find myself turning this way and that, and thus at alternate periods I have part of the audience behind me.

This is my hope 。This is the faith that I continue my steps with!!! With this faith ，I will live though the strong wind and heavy rain ，never give up !
