英语1分钟故事演讲(通用20篇)英语1分钟故事演讲篇1Dear judges:I am very glad to make a speech here ! Today I'd like to talk something about English.I love English. English language is now used everywhere in the world. It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade. Learning English makes me confident and brings me great pleasure.When I was seven, my mother sent me to an English school. At there, I played games and sang English songs with other kids . Then I discovered the beauty of the language, and began my colorful dream in the English world.Everyday, I read English following the tapes. Sometimes, I watch English cartoons.On the weekend, I often go to the English corner. By talking with different people there, I have made more and more friends as well as improved my oral English.I hope I can travel around the world someday. I want to go to America to visit Washington Monument, because the president Washington is my idol. Of course, I want to go to London too, because England is where English language developed. If I can ride my bike in Cambridge university, I will be very happy.英语1分钟故事演讲篇2I Love You, China!Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, I’m very glad to make a s peech 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 table, 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. For you are offering us the best education.”英语1分钟故事演讲篇3I want be free我想要自由Good afternoon,everyone.T oday,my topic is “I want to be free.”It’s a story about a wolf and a dog.A wolf was almost dead with hunger.A house-dog saw him,and asked,”friend,it’s bad for you.”“Why don’t you work steadily as I do,and get your food regularly?” “I would have no objection.”said the wolf,”if I could only get a place.” “I will help you.”said the dog.”Come with me to my master,and you shall share me work ”So the wolf and the dog went to the town together.On the way ,the wolf saw that there was no hair around the dog’neck. He felt quite surprised,and asked him why it was likethat?“Oh,it is nothing.”said the dog.”Every night my m aster puts a collar around my neck and chains me up.You will soon get used to it.”“Is that the only reason.”said the wolf.”Then good bye to you,my friend.I would like to be free.”Do you like to be free?every.Thank you for listening.下午好。
适合演讲的英语小故事故事一:The Power of Belief信念的力量One day, a mysterious old man came to the village andtold Tom that he had the potential to achieve his dream if he believed in himself. The old man gave Tom a pair of magical shoes and said, "Wear these shoes, and you will be able torun as fast as the wind."Tom put on the shoes and started to run. To his amazement, he felt no pain in his leg and ran faster than he had ever imagined. With each step, his belief in himself grew stronger. eventually, Tom became the fastest runner in the village and went on to win many races.故事二:The Ant and the Dove蚂蚁与鸽子In a dense forest, there lived an ant that was alwaysbusy working to gather food for the winter. One day, whilethe ant was carrying a heavy load of food, it slipped andfell into a river.A dove flying overhead saw the ant struggling in thewater and felt sorry for it. The dove dropped a leaf into the river, and the ant climbed onto it, floating safely to the shore.Later, the ant was walking along the riverbank when it heard a hunter aiming his gun at the dove. Without hesitation,the ant bit the hunter's leg, causing him to miss his shot. The dove heard the gunshot and flew away safely.故事三:The Fox and the Grapes狐狸与葡萄A fox was walking through the forest when it saw a bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a tree. The grapes looked delicious, but they were just out of the fox's reach.The fox tried jumping, but it couldn't reach the grapes. It tried climbing the tree, but it kept slipping. After several attempts, the fox gave up and walked away, saying to itself, "Those grapes are probably sour anyway."The moral of the story is that sometimes, when we can't achieve something, we tend to convince ourselves that it wasn't worth having in the first place.These stories are not only engaging and inspirational but also carry valuable life lessons that can resonate with audiences of all ages. They are perfect for incorporatinginto speeches to illustrate points, evoke emotions, and create a lasting impression.故事四:The Tortoise and the Hare乌龟与兔子In a lush meadow, a confident hare嘲笑一只慢吞吞的乌龟,challenging him to a race. The乌龟接受了挑战,尽管所有的旁观者都认为他必输无疑。
英语小故事演讲一分钟(通用3篇)英语小故事演讲一分钟篇1One day in 1819, 3,000 miles off the coast of Chile, in one of the most remote regions of the Pacific Ocean, 20 American sailors watched their ship flood with seawater.They'd been struck by a sperm whale, which had ripped a catastrophic hole in the ship's hull. As their ship began to sink beneath the swells, the men huddled together in three small whaleboats.These men were 10,000 miles from home, more than 1,000 miles from the nearest scrap of land. In their small boats, they carried only rudimentary navigational equipment and limited supplies of food and water.These were the men of the whaleship Essex, whose story would later inspire parts of “Moby Dick.”Even in today's world, their situation would be really dire, but think about how much worse it would have been then.英语小故事演讲一分钟篇2When I was a child, I lived in California, which is, you know, mostly a very nice place to live, but for me as a child, California could also be a little scary.I remember how frightening it was to see the chandelier that hung above our dining table swing back and forth during every minor earthquake, and I sometimes couldn't sleep at night, terrified that the Big One might strike while we were sleeping.And what we say about kids who have fears like that is that they have a vivid imagination. But at a certain point, most of us learn to leave these kinds of visions behind and grow up.We learn that there are no monsters hiding under the bed,and not every earthquake brings buildings down. But maybe英语小故事演讲一分钟篇3Friendship is an umbrella of two figure, is a table on the two pairs of eyes; Friendship is like a curved warm harbor, quietly to soothe tired sailing; Friendship is crossing the sea, see each other eyes of tacit understanding, is unexpected.Since have the friendship, I no longer lonely, lonely. We are always side by side, hand in hand, walking along the street at dusk, running in the romance in the rain. We are always on the same table, focused on learning. Sometimes silence, their respective; From time to time to discuss with each other, "quarrel". We will always be on a park bench, or talk to each other in the heart trouble and sorrow, be considerate comfort; Or will be happy to tell each other, and then laugh.Since I no longer have the friendship, weak. When the fall in the road of life, and his heart was dominated by "give up" this idea completely. However, at this time, my friend will pick up, remind me to be strong, long life, is no thorns, if be tripped, has languished, choose to give up, how can feel the successful happiness? These words, made me hopeful again. From then on, whenever you fall, I will stand up, will it as a test of fate, believe not far from success.Since have the friendship, I have found the "intended-and not to take a hint when a hint is not intended" feeling. For the same question, we often have the same opinion. We worship the same star, like the same color, love the same kind of writing style... Also, we are also cherish the friendship.Friendship let us have a happy, confident, brave, insist!。

"My brother gave it to me for Christmas." The boy was astounded. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing? Boy, I wish . . ." He hesitated.Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels. "I wish," the boy went on, "That I could be a brother like that."Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, "Would you like to take a ride in my car?""Oh yes, Id love that."After a short ride, the boy turned with his eyes aglow, said,"Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?"Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy asked.He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car."There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day Im gonna give you one just like it . . . then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that Ive been trying to tell you about." Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride. That Christmas Eve, Paul learnedwhat Jesus meant when he said: "It is more blessed to give . . . "哥哥的心愿圣诞节时,保罗的哥哥送他一辆新车。

英语小故事演讲稿英语小故事演讲稿篇一Once upon a time, there were two very good friends who lived together in the shade of a rock. Strange as it may seem, one was a lion and one was a tiger. They had met when they were too young to know the difference between lions and tigers. So they did not think their friendship was at all unusual. Besides, it was a peaceful part of the mountains, possibly due to the influence of a gentle forest monk who lived nearby. He was a hermit , one who lives far away from other people.For some unknown reason, one day the two friends got into a silly argument. The tiger said, ;Everyone knows the cold netes when the moon wanes from full to new!; The lion said, ;Where did you hear such nonsense ? Everyone knows the cold netes when the moon waxes from new to full!;The argument got stronger and stronger. Neither could convince the other. They could not reach any conclusion to resolve the growing dispute. They even started calling each other names! Fearing for their friendship, they decided to go ask the learned forest monk, who would surely know about such things.Visiting the peaceful hermit, the lion and tiger bowed respectfully and put their question to him. The friendly monk thought for a while and then gave his answer. ;It can be cold in any phase of the moon, from new to full and back to new again. It is the wind that brings the cold, whether from west or north or east. Therefore, in a way, you are both right! And neither of you is defeated by the other. The most important thing is to live without conflict, to remain united. Unity is best by all means.;The lion and tiger thanked the wise hermit. They were happy to still be friends.英语演讲小故事篇二A BetTwo pals are sitting in a pub watching the eleven-#39;clock news。

适合演讲的英语小故事一、The Ant and the DoveOnce upon a time, an ant was struggling to carry a large crumb to its nest. Unfortunately, the crumb was too heavy for the tiny ant. As it was struggling, a dove saw the ant's predicament and kindly offered to help. The dove carried the crumb in its beak and dropped it right in front of the ant's nest.Not long after, a hunter was about to shoot the dove with his bow and arrow. The ant, witnessing the danger, quicklybit the hunter's leg. The hunter missed his shot, and thedove flew away safely. This story teaches us the importanceof kindness and the unexpected ways in which our good deeds can be repaid.二、The Hare and the TortoiseOne day, the Hare challenged the Tortoise to a race, confident that he would win easily due to his speed. The Tortoise accepted the challenge, and the race began. The Hare, running swiftly, soon left the Tortoise far behind. Seeingthe distance between them, the Hare decided to take a nap, thinking he had plenty of time to rest before the Tortoise caught up.However, the Tortoise continued at a steady pace, never giving up. When the Hare finally woke up, he was shocked to see the Tortoise crossing the finish line. This story reminds us that slow and steady wins the race, and overconfidence can lead to unexpected defeat.三、The Boy Who Cried WolfThere was a shepherd boy who lived in a small village. One day, he thought it would be fun to trick the villagers crying "Wolf!" when there was no wolf. The villagers rushed to help, but they found it was a joke and went back home.The boy repeated his trick several times, and each time, the villagers fell for it. However, when a real wolf appeared and the boy cried for help, the villagers didn't believe him. They thought it was another trick, and no one came to save the boy or his flock. This story teaches us the importance of honesty and the consequences of lying.四、The Lion and the MouseIn a dense forest, a lion was resting under a tree when a tiny mouse scurried past and woke him up. Annoyed, the lion caught the mouse and was about to eat it. The mouse, trembling with fear, pleaded for its life, promising to repay the lion one day if he spared it.The lion laughed at the idea of a small mouse helping him and let it go. Weeks later, the lion got trapped in ahunter's net. hearing the lion's roars, the mouse rushed to help. With its sharp teeth, the mouse chewed through the ropes and set the lion free. The lion was grateful and realized that even the smallest creature can make a significant difference. This story illustrates that no one should be underestimated, as everyone has their unique strengths.五、The Fox and the GrapesA fox was walking through the vineyards when it spotted a bunch of ripe grapes hanging high above. The fox tried Jumping to reach them, but they were too high. It tried climbing the tree, but the grapes were still out of reach. After several attempts, the fox gave up and walked away, saying, "Those grapes are probably sour anyway."This story, known as "sour grapes," reminds us of the tendency to disparage something we cannot have. It serves as a lesson in accepting our limitations and not letting disappointment turn into bitterness.六、The Crow and the PitcherA crow was thirsty and found a pitcher with a little water at the bottom, but the water was too low for the crow to reach with its beak. Instead of giving up, the crow started dropping pebbles into the pitcher. With each pebble,the water level rose until the crow could finally drink the water.This story of the crow's ingenuity teaches us the valueof perseverance and resourcefulness. When faced with a problem, sometimes thinking outside the box can lead to a solution.七、ConclusionThese English short stories are not only engaging for audiences of all ages but also carry profound life lessons. They can be used in speeches to illustrate points, add colorto presentations, or simply entertain. Each story, with its unique characters and situations, serves as a timeless reminder of the human condition and the values we hold dear.八、The Ugly DucklingIn a barnyard, a mother duck hatched a brood of ducklings, all of them with smooth, yellow feathers, except for one.This duckling was plump and had gray, woolly feathers that made him look very different from his siblings. The other animals teased him for his appearance, and even his ownfamily treated him with disdain. Sad and lonely, the ugly duckling left the barnyard in search of a place where he belonged.九、The Golden GooseThis story is a powerful reminder of the dangers of greed and the importance of contentment. It告诫 us to value what we have and not to be tempted shortsighted gains that couldlead to greater losses.十、The Starfish ThrowerAn old man was walking along the beach after a storm had scattered thousands of starfish ashore. He saw a young boy picking up starfish one one and throwing them back into the sea. The old man asked, "Why are you doing this? There are so many starfish; you can't possibly save them all."The boy replied, "It makes a difference to this one," as he threw another starfish into the water. This story underscores the importance of individual actions. Even if we can't change the whole world, we can make a significant impact on individual lives.十一、Final ThoughtsThese stories are not just simple tales; they are powerful tools for speakers to connect with their audience on an emotional level. They resonate with universal themes and can be tailored to fit various speech topics, from the importance of selfworth to the consequences of greed. When delivering a speech, incorporating such stories can leave a lasting impression and drive home the message with a warmth and relatability that cold facts alone cannot achieve.。

in the matter of courage we all have our limits. there never was a hero who did not have his bounds. i suppose it may be said of nelson and all the others whose courage has been advertised that there came times in their lives when their bravery knew it had come to its limit.
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. you ought never to have any part of the audience behind you; you never can tell what they are going to do.

feeling of youth
no young man believes he shall ever die. it was a saying of my brothers, and a fine one. there is a feeling of eternity in youth, which makes us amend for everything. to be young is to be as one of the immortal gods. one half of time indeed is flown-the other half remains in store for us with all its countletreasures; for there is no line drawn, and we see no limit to our hopes and wishes. we make the coming age our own-
the vast, the unbounded prospect lies before us.
death. old age. are words without a meaning. that paby us like the idea air which we regard not. others may have undergone, or may still be liable to them-we "bear a charmed life“, which laughs
to scorn all such sickly fancies. as in setting out on delightful journey, we strain our eager gaze forward-
bidding the lovely scenes at distance hail!
and see no end to the landscape, new objects presenting themselves as we advance; so, in the commencement of life, we set no bounds to our inclinations. nor to the unrestricted opportunities of gratifying them. we have as yet found no obstacle, no disposition to flag; and it seems that we can go on so forever. we look round in a new world, full of life, and motion, and ceaseleprogress; and feel in ourselves all the vigor and spirit to keep pace with it, and do not foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural course of things, decline into old age, and drop into the grave. it is the simplicity, and as it were abstractedneof our feelings in youth, that (so to speak) identifies us with nature, and (our experience being slight and our passions strong) deludes us into a belief of being immortal like it. our short-lives connection with existence we fondly flatter ourselves, is an indissoluble and lasting union-a honeymoon that knows neither coldness, jar, nor separation. as infants smile and sleep, we are rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies, and lulled into security by the roar of the universe around us0we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the
more-objects prearound us, filling the mind with their magnitude。
