关于时间的英语演讲稿范文 hello, dear teachers and fellow students. it is my honor to be here on this beautiful friday morning to share with you my view on “me- time”. in my opinion，finding me-time is important. with the development of the modern society, we students in china have more and more pressure. we have to spare every minute to study very hard and join various kinds of out-of-class training courses to improve ourselves. so we are really in lack of me-time which is helpful to keep ourselves from being over-stressed、tired and worried. i do not have as much fun as before and i always miss my childhood. three hours of homework and two piano lessons one day make me have hardly any me-time to relax myself. i was once an active basketball player on my school team. but now, basketball, my best friend, i haven’t touched it for almost two months. me- time seems to have bee a luxury. last week, when i heard there was going to be a basketball match between our school and no 1 middle school, i was so excited that i rushed home and told my parents the news. i asked my father, “ dad, may i play basketball after school ? the coach says i am the best guard in our school. if i join the school basketball team, we are sure to beat no 1 middle school this time.” my father showed his dispproval and said, “ of course you can’t . i’m disappointed at you. why do you have such a silly idea? don’t forget to work hard on your schoolwork and piano lessons.” in my parents’ points of view, playing basketball is a waste of time as far as i’m concerned, the school assignment to the junior school students is too heavy. to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults, we should be allowed to have more me-time for relaxation. the pressure put on our students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally. my dear teachers, i hope you can assign less homework so we students can enjoy a period of me-time. my dear parents, would you please not follow me and remind me of study all the time? please trust me that i will do my best. my dear friends, why not stop for a while from your heavy homework

On your way to suess you must keep your direction. It is just like a lamp guiding you in darkness and helping you overe obstacles on your way.

青春励志英文演讲稿(精选多篇) 尊敬的老师们、同学们： 大家好! 青春是什么，难道是携子之手，浪漫而温馨地漫步于桃红柳绿之中吗难道是把头发染成五颜六色，在大街上旁若无人地大跳千奇百怪的街舞吗难道是无休止地泡吧，疯狂地蹦迪吗有些人一直在成长的十字路口徘徊。但是，我要问：难道青春仅仅就只剩下这些了吗青春可以是远大的志向和崇高的理想;青春还可以是面对峰回路转，霹雳斩棘，举步探索的毅力。 青春不仅仅是一声声的赞美，它更是拥有使命并为之奋斗不息的源泉。因为生命的光环一个个被践踏的躯体赋予
了新的灵魂;因为青春的绚丽，一个个飞舞的思绪会聚成一首悲壮的挽歌。 时光的老人又一次送来了五月，迎来了又一个“五四”青年节。在这阳光灿烂，安宁详和的幸福生活之时，我不禁想起了那些曾为中华民族的民主，科学，独立而抛头颅洒热血的青年们，是他们，在民族遭受屈辱的时刻挺身而出，以力挽狂澜之势救黎民于苦难。在斗争中，青年们敢于直面惨淡的人生，敢于正视淋漓的鲜血，他们以燃烧的激情和鲜血凝聚成精神的火炬，点燃了未来。这种青春是多么绚丽夺目呀，这种使命是多么震撼人心啊! 青春是美好的，没有使命感的青春便是贫血的青春。青年是祖国的未来，是民族的希望。在任何一个时代，青年都是社会上最富有朝气最富有创造性，最富有生命力的群体。我们要怎样才能实践自己肩负的历史使命，怎么样才能使自己的青春光彩照人呢 放眼看吧，在我们社会主义现代化
建设的征途中，涌现出许多新时代青年的楷模。从伟大的共产主义战士雷锋到以服务祖国需要为乐的王杰，从自学成才的张海迪到科技创新的秦文贵……他们在平凡的岗位上，用五四精神诠释了青春的使命!演绎了一幕幕惊天动地的话剧!谱写了一曲曲壮丽雄浑的青春赞歌! 作为新世纪的我们，要树立远大的理想，人的一生只能享受一次青春，当一个人在年轻是就把自己的人生与人民的事业紧紧相连，他所创造的就是永恒的青春。我们要坚持勤奋学习，立志成才。二十一世纪，信息交流日益广泛，知识更新大大加快。形势逼人自强。催人奋进。我们要跟上时代步伐，更好的为现代化建设贡献力量就必须学习学习再学习，打下坚实的知识功底。在学习中，还要善于创新，善于实践，善于把所学的知识运用到改造主观世界客观世界活动中去，不断成才。同时我们应树立正确的世界观，人生观，价值观，努

关于青春励志英文演讲稿 everyone has his ownunderstanding of young,it is a period of time of beauty and wonders,only after you have experienced the sour ,sweet ,bitter and salty can you really become a person of significance.thre time of young is limitted,it may pass by without your attention,and when you discover what has happened ,it is always too late.grasping the young well means a better time is waiting for you in the near future,or the situation may be opposite . having a view on these great men in the history of hunmanbeing,they all made full use of their youth time ,to do things that are useful to society,to the whole mankind,and as a cosquence ,they are remembered by later generations,admired by everyone.so do something in the time of young,although you may not get achievements as these greatmen did ,though not for the whole word,just for youeself,for those around! the young is just like blooming flowers,they are so beautiful when blooming,they make people feel happy,but with time passing by,after they withers ,moet people think they are ugly.and so it is the same with young,we are enthusiastic when we are young,then we may lose our passion when getting older and older.so we must treasure it ,don't let the limitted time pass by ,leaving nothing of significance.
名人经典英文演讲-托尼·帕克演讲稿 I'm very happy here,to be here,tonight，on the Manu's night, I'm so happy for you, well deserved,well deserved. 非常高兴今晚站在这里，在马努之夜。我是如此的为你高兴，对于这样的夜晚，你当之无愧。 Before i start though,i want to set the record with Argentina，because，as to Argentina media，Argentina，because you know we have a rough beginning where Manu and i first started my career，whole Argentina was mad at me because they think i dont pass the ball to Manu，that i never pass the ball to Manu. I can never really understand that because Pop made the plays，he called the plays. And its not my fault he called all the plays for Timmy,and Timmy took all the shots. I'm just a point guard, especially my first two years, but i think we did really good,win the best trio in the NBA history, playoff wins, so 132wins i think we did ok. So,i just wanna tell Argentina, i still love you, but thank god, Pop made you come off the bench so get you mad at pop so then i was good, then i was good. 在我开始之前，我想和阿根廷媒体做个澄清。在我和马努职业生涯的前两年我们有过一段艰难的开始，整个阿根提球迷都怪我没有给马努传球，怪我从来没有给马努传球。我真的无法理解这件事因为波波制定了战术。所以这不能怪我，波波要求把球都传给邓肯的，然后邓肯投了那些球。我只是一个分卫，尤其是在我生涯的头两年。但我们做的足够好了，我们是NBA历史上最好的三人组，赢了132场季后赛。因此，我想告诉整个阿根提球迷，我仍然爱你们。感谢波波让马努从替补开始的，然后你们就开始怪波波了，我就得救了。 So its 3things i want to tell you Manu,first time i saw you play，i was 18years old, and when i think about you, its how unique you were as a player, there's no other word i can find an describe you, you just was unique, nobody is like you in the whole history of the game, you were so unique, that even Pop didn't know what to do with you the first two years. It was priceless to see Pop's face when Manu made a pass, cuz with Manu is two pass, you have a legend pass that everybody would talk about of what a unbelievable pass, and the stands to the fan's pass. And at the begining of my

英语演讲稿格式范文（5篇） 英语演讲稿格式从大的方面看，英语演讲词实际上是属于一种特殊的说明文或议论文，其基本组成部分是： 1）开始时对听众的称呼语最常用的是Ladies and gentlemen，也可根据不同情况，选用Fellow students,Distinguished guests,MrChairman,Honorable Judges（评委）等等。 2）提出论题由于演讲的时间限制，必须开门见山，提出论题。提出论题的方法有各种各样，但最生动，最能引起注意的是用举例法。比如：你要呼吁大家关心贫穷地区的孩子，你可以用亲眼看到的或者收集到的那些贫穷孩子多么需要帮助的实例开始。另外，用具体的统计数据也是一个有效的引出论题的方法，比如：你要谈遵守交通规则的话题，你可以从举一系列有关车辆、车祸等的数据开始。 3）论证对提出的论题，不可主观地妄下结论，而要进行客观的论证。这是演讲中最需要下功夫的部分。关键是要把道理讲清楚。常见的论证方法有举例法、因果法、对比法等等，可参见英语议论文的有关章节。 4）结论结论要简明扼要，以给听众留下深刻印象。 5）结尾结尾要简洁，不要拉拉扯扯，说个没完。特别是不要受汉语影响，说些类似“准备不足，请谅解”，“请批评指正”这样的废话。最普通的结尾就是：Thank you very much for your attention。 英语演讲稿范文篇一good afternoon, teachers! first please allow me to introduce myself briefly.
