1 / 7 新生开学典礼老生代表全英文发言稿

win at the starting line

good afternoon, everyone. very happy to see so many new

faces here. i am wang pengyuan, a senior student from class

1101. today, it gives me a great honor to give a wele speech

here, to share with you some of my e_periences as well as

give you some suggestions in the beginning of your college

life.

actually, i am very much curious about your definitions

of a good college life at this special point. someone once

plained to me that the college life is totally a waste of

time and money. do you think so? the answer is definitely no.

here i want to tell you that if you try to manage your

college life well, you will find that it will be really a

valuable part of your life.

and now i’m going to share with you my personal

e_periences of my college life. i remember when i was a

freshman, a junior student was giving a speech on this stage

i was so impressed by her, and made my mind to study hard. so

what i did in my pervious three years was just about making

full use of college resources to develop my own potentials.

2 / 7 in my first year, i studied hard as i did in my high school,

attending every class, listening to teachers carefully,

reviewing after class and doing homework by myself. college

at that time was a brand new stage for me, i was trying to

find my way of adapting to it quickly. i participated in

various kinds of activities to improve my abilities, such as

joining in the students union, going to the old people’s

home, selling newspapers outside campus, taking part in

chorus petition and recitation contest. i think my ability is

somehow improved through the year of efforts.

the second year was a very important turning point for

me. i tried to learn more by myself and then apply the

knowledge into practice. the very important event for me is

the 18th china daily 21st century cup national english

speaking petition in which i got the first prize in our

school. but what i want to mention is only the benefits i

gained from this petition, for e_ample, my english speaking

ability has been improved, and no longer afraid of saying a

word in public and also i made friends with many students

from other universities with whom i can share e_perience. and

some other petitions like hubei provincial translation and

interpreting petition, and so many more.

another part is the social activities. in july XX, i went

to singapore to be a volunteer in the second international

3 / 7 traditional martial arts petition. that was also an amazing

e_perience in my life. as you can see that i witnessed with

my own eyes a different culture thus broadening my horizons.

so here i want to appeal to you all that seize every

opportunity to develop yourself, for the college is an

integrated platform in the journey of your life through which

you are bound to grow up.

the third years seems like a great leap for me. equipped

with the solid foundation i laid in the previous two years, i

further participated in some important major-related

contests, such as the outlook talent show held by cctv, the

fifth cross-strait interpreting petition and national english

ability petition. through all these contests, i found myself

much more confident in the road ahead.

ne_t i’m going to give you some suggestions to help you

manage your college life better.

suggestion1: learn as much as possible.

for most of us college can be an unforgettable period for

us to learn something. some one once said that university is

like a dye vat, which means that you may be easily influenced

by others. if you want to learn something you will be

embraced by knowledge and wisdom; and if you don’t have the

desire to learn you will find you get nothing after 4 years’

college life.

4 / 7 suggestion2: cultivate your potentials and interests.

as we know, university is an integrated platform pared

with high school. you do not need to bury your head in the

books all day long. you need to conduct your self-cultivation

and find where your interests lie in. for e_ample, if you

have the talent for dancing, you can join in the dance

association. just show it. life will be colorful if there is

joy.

suggestion3: always be optimistic and hopeful.

everybody knows that college life is mostly determined by

ourselves. sometimes you may find that teachers can’t

instruct you in every aspects. so you may easily e across

difficulties with which you will get bored. but please

remember that life has its ups and downs, adversity is just

part of our lives. be optimistic, you will always find your

way out.

in a word, bine all the suggestions i’ve mentioned above
