Because we can find everything we need from everywhere on th some of us who study the earth are very surprised that th earth is going to die much sooner than means th earth will be like the Mars in a few then most animals will be exterminated ,and the organism called human may not be seen on the earth any that a lie or a joke?

No,it's serious and true .A river can be polluted by only a little trash and so little trash can be made by hundreds of families a year. But no country even America can clean the rivers as soon as we pollute them.I'm afriad we do something wrong over and over again. So we have less and less time to redress the balance of ily, it's not too late now. People have many things to do to stop the disaster. For example having a low-carbon lifestyle is one of the best ideas.

More and more young people like to live a low-carbon life. So you see ,life with low-carbon can be fact when we protect the earth , we are protecting ks for listening to me.

Dear students:

How are you!

In the previous several exams,I have gained good results,first of all thanks to my efforts,of course,learning is also very important.Next,I gave you about my learning experience.I feel good in order to learn first-come interested in learning.As the saying goes:"Interest is the best teacher."With interest will be motivated to learn,the more naturally learn better.Second,in order to improve learning,we must master the correct way to learn,learn to digest,giving top priority,this is the most important.In learning,our minds must have three words-"Why!"Smart people know that;wise men know to listen to;smart people know to ask.

The last is sure to be hard work,this is the most important,even Thomas Edison said"Genius needs ninety-nine percent perspiration."School should seriously lectures,and pay attention to more independent thinking,do not know want to ask,to exercise their thinking skills.Careful and meticulous to teacher assignments,must not be careless.

There is,to take notes,preview before clathe best,first have a preliminary understanding of the text,which for the next clacan more easily absorb.After-school must also be reviewed,and consolidate the knowledge about good teachers,and lay a solid foundation.The ancients have said:"Reviewing the Old,to be a teacher."Not also the truth?Best to pay attention to work and rest.Only care about the death of reading is of no use to let my mind relax properly for the such as playing baseball,listening to music,watch TV news.Finally,I want to say"do not you go stronger than others,then you have to and they are better than weak,you challenged yourself to stay on a par before himself,and you will reap better than others."

Thank you!

Confidence,which is not only the faith in your abilities, but also the faith of pursuit of firm target in yourself, is the first secret of success. With it, you can go toward the shore of victory. When at a low ebb of the Chinese revolution, believed that "a single spark can start a prairie fire". ChenYi believed "repeated action can not take off" he was confident. In short, self-confidence refers to the navigation towards victory, as is the driving force of progress.

Inferior tends to look at the advantages of others too much, overweight, and this is a lack of understanding of their strengths. Someone who has so heavy psychological pressure makes himself passive. Inferior psychological barrier limits the development of ability, making them lose the chance of success, ultimately nothing. Humble and out of the shadow, there must be sunny days ahead! In both the "thousand goddess of mercy" dancing miracle of the spotlight, the actors are in the faith and destiny of the strong, overcoming the inferiority, their performance won the audience's warm applause, deeply loved by people.

Overcoming self-abased and developing confidence is our inevitable choice.

Conceit and inferiority are extreme psychological. Swellheads smug after some achievements, even defiant, arrogance. These people even had made some achievements, but it was just a flash in the pan. Xiang yu in the struggle played a great role，but temporary military advantage made him blind. The results had been defeated by Liu Bang, the former hero. At last Xiang Yu committed suicide by Wujiang river .

We want to believe in ourselves, but not conceited. I do not give up. Choose confidence, overcome being self-abased, and being away from the ego, which is the requirement of the new century, and is the pursuit of perfect personality. "Talk about heroes, you can find someone today", was full of self-confidence, who will always inspire us to move forward.

Friendship

Every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. My friends will listen to me when I want to speak, will wipe my eyes when I cry, will take care of me when I am sick, and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.

As students, we could share more time with our friends. The friendship in our young hearts is pure, fresh and simple. I often feel very lucky to have a lot of good friends. Especially when I had Justin as one of my best friends. Justin was my English teacher from the USA. I met him in 1996 when I was a student who could only speak very little English. Justin was a vivid young man with a bright smile on his face, and he always had his special way to make the class active and attractive. He taught us English by telling stories, playing games, singing songs, and even dancing. I could still remember very clearly that one afternoon when we fin-ished our class, we went to some other classes to sing songs for them, just like what people do in the states on Christmas Eve. It was so interesting and unforgettable. Justin was an excellent teacher, because he taught us not only how to study English well, but also the way to find out the beauty of the world and the way to be angels to others' lives. I know there was friendship and pure love in our hearts. Facing this valuable emotion neither nationality nor age was important, the real importance lay in faith, under-standing, and care. Justin is the best friend I have ever had, and I know I will cherish those days of staying together with him as the best part of my memory.

Friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives. It is actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the sweeter it will be. It is also like a cup of tea. When we are thirsty, it will be our best choice, but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves, it is also the most fragrant drink.

However, in this fast-developing modern society, the reality is not that. More and more people forget to enjoy the beauty of life and -the beauty of friendship. They work hard in order to gain a higher position, in the society and to earn more money for their work. Of course, we don't deny that it is important to find a bet-ter place in our lives, but we wish more and more people could pay a little

more attention to themselves and their friends. All of us have to spare some time for personal lives. We have to find the chance to express our emotion and love. When staying with our friends, we can release ourselves completely. We can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry to-gether. I should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives.

As we know, we would feel lonely if we didn't even have a friend. But it doesn't mean we could depend on our friends all the time. There is a famous motto saying that “A friend is like a quilt with cotton wadding, but the real thing that keeps you warm is your own temperature.” It is really true. We have to work hard together with our friends, encourage each other and help each other. When we receive love and friendship, we should repay as much as we can.

Finally, let's pray together now that one day, all of us could find the person we want to find, and could enjoy a real beautiful friendship in our lives. Let's pray the flower of friendship be-tween our friends and us would always bloom brightly in our hearts 友谊

我们每一个人,不论贫富,至少应该有一个或两个好朋友。我朋友会听我当我想说话的时候,会抹去我的眼睛当我哭泣,会照顾我当我生病的时候,和我的朋友会和我一起并排通过这次旅行的生活。

作为学生,我们可以分享更多的时间与我们的朋友。友谊在我们年轻的心是纯洁的,新鲜和简单。我经常觉得很幸运,有很多好朋友。尤其是当我有贾斯汀是我最好的朋友之一。贾斯汀是我的英语老师来自美国。我遇见了他在1996年当我还是一个学生只会说很少的英语。贾斯汀是一个生动的年轻人脸上灿烂的微笑,他总是有他特殊的方式,使课堂活跃和有吸引力。他教我们英语讲故事,玩游戏,唱歌,甚至跳舞。我仍然可以记得很清楚,当我们fin-ished类的一个下午,我们去了一些其他类为他们唱歌,就像人们在圣诞前夕在美国做什么。它是如此有趣和令人难忘的。贾斯汀是一个优秀的老师,因为他不仅教我们如何学好英语,而且找到的美丽世界的方式和方法天使到别人的生活。我知道有友谊和纯洁的爱在我们心中。面对这种宝贵的情感国籍和年龄是很重要的,真正的重要性在于信仰,理解,和关心。贾斯汀是我曾经遇到的最好的朋友,我知道我将会珍惜和他呆在一起的那些日子是最好的我的记忆的一部分。

友谊是一种财宝在我们的生活中。它实际上是像一瓶酒,这是保持的时间越长,甜。也像一杯茶。当我们口渴时,这将是我们的最佳选择,但当我们有足够的时间玩得很开心的,也是最芬芳的饮料。

然而,在这个快速发展的现代社会,现实不是。越来越多的人忘了享受生命的美丽和——美丽的友谊。他们努力工作为了获得一个更高的位置,在社会和为他们的工作赚更多的钱。当然,我们并不否认,重要的是要找到一个好地方在我们的生活中,但我们希望越来越多的人能多一点关注自己和他们的朋友。我们所有人必须备用一些个人生活的时候了。我们必须找到机会来表达我们的情感和爱。当住在我们的朋友,我们可以完全释放自己。我们可以做任何我们想要的,我们可以一起开怀大笑,一起交谈,甚至一起哭。我应该说在一起与我们最好的朋友是我们生活的最美妙的时刻。

我们知道,我们会感到孤独,如果我们甚至没有一个朋友。但这并不意味着我们可以依靠我们的朋友。有一个著名的格言说:“一个朋友就像一个被子棉絮,但真正的东西,使你温暖的是你自己的温度。“这是真的。我们必须努力工作和我们的朋友一起,互相鼓励,互相帮助。当我们得到爱和友谊,我们应该偿还。

最后,现在让我们一起祈祷,有一天,我们都能找到我们想要找到的人,并可以享受一个真正的美丽的友谊在我们的生活中。让我们祈祷我们和朋友之间的友谊之花将永远绽放在我们心中明亮

第5篇：初中英语演讲稿

Honorable Judges，fellow students：

Good afternoon！

Recently，ther is a heated debate in our society. The college students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege，who receive exceptional education at extraordinary places. But will we be able to face the challenge and support ourselves against all odds？Will we be able to better the lives of others？Will we be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of our country？

The cynics say the college students are the pampered lost generation，which would cringe at the slightest discomfort. But the cynics are wrong. The college students I see are eagerly learning about how to live independently. We help each other clean the dormitory，go shopping and bargain together，and take part time jobs to supplement our pocket money.

The cynics say we care for nothing other than grades；and we neglect the need for character cultivation. But again，the cynics are wrong. We care deeply for each other，we cherish freedom，we treasure justice，and we seek truth. Last week，thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer.

As college students，we are adolescents at the critical turning point in our lives. We all face a fundamental choice：cynicism or faith，each will profoundly impact our future，or even the future of our country. I believe in all my fellow classmates. Though we are still inexperienced and even a little bit childish. I believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challenge and take on our responsibilities. We are preparing to assume new responsibilities and tasks，and to use the education we have received to make our world a better place. I believe in our future.

thank you！

My Dream

I dream of being a policewoman.

My father is a policeman. He always has to work extra hours and comes

home late and tired. He has to go to the police station immediately any time he is needed, no matter how late it is at night. I once asked him why he chose this hard job. He answered with a smile, “Yes I am sometimes very tired but I’m happy when I help others. ”

As I grow up, I gradually come to understand her words. I made up my mind to be a policewoman.

I want to help others. I want to see people living happily with their families and friends. So I want to be a policewoman.

Being a policewoman is my dream. I think it is simple but meanful .

My Dream

I dream of being a doctor.

My mother is a doctor. She always has to work extra hours and comes

home late and tired. She has to go to the hospital immediately any time she is needed, no matter how late it is at night. When I was very little and still in

primary school, I once asked her why she chose such a boring and hard job. She answered with a smile, “Yes I am sometimes very tired but seeing my patients getting better and better makes me happy from the bottom of my heart.”

As I grow up, I gradually come to understand her words and realize doctors are noble. I made up my mind to be a doctor when I was in junior school and this has never changed since then.

I really hope to see a world where there is no cancer, no Aids, no fatal

disease, no one suffering from illness. But this is only a fantasy. What about the reality? There are still many many people who are faced with disastrous disease and suffering from constant pain. There are still many many people living in miserable condition and live miserably. There are still many many people dying of cancer and leaving the beautiful world reluctantly. All those things make me feel sad because I think everyone has the right to live . I want to help the sick and reduce their pain as much as I can. I want to bring a healthy body to the patients and save their lives as many as I can. I want to see people cured ,living happily with their families and friends after my treatment. So I want to be a doctor ,an angel in white.

When I become a doctor, I will cherish each life regardless of the races,

sexes, ages, positions and occupations. I will do every bit to cure the incurable.

I already have a dream in my heart,so I have to make every effort to realize it.As a high school student now,I will seize every chance to study hard,arm

myself with knowledge, prepare myself for the future and strive for my dreams. I will be determined, face the reality bravely and not surrender to any problems I meet.

Is’s like Gothe says,“The important thing in life is to have a great aim and be determined to attain it.”Being a doctor is my dream. I think it is simple but meanful.

However, fraternal love is not stable. being away for too a long time, losing all common benefits, friends will become estranged. once their interest has changed, they no longer understand each other, and even this would harm friendship.

at all times and in all countries, many close friends and battle companions who once worked together and fought together became enemies in the end. quiet a few of the emperors in ancient china even killed those who had helped them found their dynasties. the taiping heavenly kingdom would not have failed if it hadn't been for the contending and massacring among the those who first rose in rebellion at the beginning of the uprising. what else we need to pay attention to is that some friends, after being away from each other for too long a time, have lost so much of their original characters that when meeting again, you will feel that you are still the same as you were, while they are no longer themselves.

They may have the same feeling about you, so sometimes it's better not to meet each other again. as the chinese proverb goes “friendship can not last for three years and flowers can not stay in blossom for three months”'s not so easy to maintain real friendship which needs mutual understanding, tolerance and sacrifice. any kinds of harsh treatment will damage friendship.

第12篇：初中英语演讲稿

Someone said “;we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite ”;. I don’t know who wrote these words, but I’ve always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be. We are all in the position of the farmers. If we plant a good seed ,we reap a good harvest. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all. We are young. “;How to spend the youth? ”; It is a meaningful question. To answer it, first I have to ask “;what do you understand by the word youth? ”; Youth is not a time of life, it’s a state of mind. It’s not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees. It’s the matter of the will. It’s the freshness of the deep spring of life. A poet said “;To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. Several days ago, I had a chance to listen to a lecture. I learnt a lot there. I’d like to share it with all of you. Let’s show our right palms. We can see three lines that show how our love.career and life is. I have a short line of life. What about yours? I wondered whether we could see our future in this way. Well, let’s make a fist. Where is our future? Where is our love, career, and life? Tell me.Yeah, it is in our hands. It is held in ourselves.We all want the future to be better than the past. But the future can go better itself. Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened. From the past, we’ve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher. We’ve learnt that we can’t choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it. Failure doesn’t mean you don’t have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way. Failure doesn’t mean you should give up, it does mean you must try harder. As what I said at the beginning, “;we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite ”;. The past has gone. Nothing we do will change it. But the future is in front of us. Believe that what we give to the world, the world will give to us. And from today on, let’s be the owners of ourselves, and speak out “;We are the world, we are the future. ”;

Dear friends! Do you still remember your first English teacher?

You may say:“ Yes.” Everyone has his teachers, in my mind, I'll never forget her ------my first English teacher Ms. Li. Without her, I wouldn't be standing here. She is a young and lovely lady with beautiful eyes. Her voice sounds sweet and she speaks English very well. That was the first impression she left on us when she first gave us an English lesson.

In her class, she taught us carefully and patiently. She always made opportunities for us to speak English. She gave us many beautiful pictures to talk on them, played games with us and told us many interesting stories. Little by little, I had interest in English, but English was a new subject to me, I had many difficulties in learning it well. I often felt very confused. It was Ms. Li who helped me to find ways to overcome my difficulties. She helped me to practice speaking English everyday. She always encouraged me whenever I lost heart. She helped me to have confidence in myself. She gave me what I needed, courage, confidence, good ways to learn English and opportunities to speak English in class. So I was grateful for her. Maybe I can't meet her again. The only thing I can give her is my best wishes. I wish my dear teacher happiness, good health and good luck. And I also want to say to her: Thank you, Ms. Li. I love you!

And I know what youre thinking. You know, Im up here bagging out inspiration, and youre thinking, "Jeez, Stella, arent you inspired sometimes by some things?" And the thing is, I am. I learn from other disabled people all the time. Im learning not that I am luckier than them, though. I am learning that its a genius idea to use a pair of barbecue tongs to pick up things that you dropped. (Laughter) Im learning that nifty trick where you can charge your mobile phone battery from your chair battery.

Genius. We are learning from each others strength and endurance, not against our bodies and our diagnoses, but against a world that exceptionalizes and objectifies us. I really think that this lie that weve been sold about disability is the greatest injustice. It makes life hard for us. And that quote, "The only disability in life is a bad attitude," the reason that thats bullshit is because its just not true, because of the social model of disability. No amount of smiling at a flight of stairs has ever made it turn into a ramp. Never. (Laughter) (Applause) Smiling at a television screen isnt going to make closed captions appear for people who are deaf. No amount of standing in the middle of a bookshop and radiating a positive attitude is going to turn all those books into braille. Its just not going to happen.
