第1篇 描寫地震的英語演講稿
since we enter the 21st century,the spirit of cooperation has become more and more important.win-win is a popular word. in this way, one plus one is actually bigger than rather than just equal to two.
in this highly developed society,the progress of science and technology is the result of cooperation.the human genome project is a good example.more than 1000 top scientists from different countries have participated in the great project. every scientist may be a ‘one’,but one plus one, the final result is much greater than ‘two’.
the theme of our society is not competition, but cooperation. every stage of practice shows that people with spirit of cooperation or team work will win success much more easily than those without the spirit, and a country or region will develop faster and better if cooperating with the outside world instead of self-enclosed. we can benefit from each oher if we create value together.we must correctly handle the relationship between cooperation and competition, and learn to cooperate with other. we need to make one and one bigger than two. the terrible disaster caused more then 40075 inhabitants deaths and countless injured up to18:00 may 20th. the 8-day search-and- rescue efforts have put more strain on people’s nerves. many chinese spent the agonizing week
following news on tv, on net, or glancing over newspapers and on public transport during rush hours. even strangers exchanged information on the updated death toll and the latest outcome of rescue missions; cheered for every survival narrowly escaping hell; mourned each new death; and prayed for the strong lives still trapped in the debris. but hope is dimming as time is running out. so many people lost their lives in a flash, so many
happy family become destitute and homeless far and near, so many buildings collapsed without any hesitate, the earth cracked, and even worse, it rained while others try to rescue them…i can not image how sad a child will be that she or he turn out to be orphan after this earthquake.or the old lost all her offspring in this earthquake.people begin to wonder what they can do to help those who are still suffering.what else can i do? has been the question on everyone’s mind since the deadly quake hit sichuan province.after all, only a few warm-hearted volunteers could access the front lines of combating disaster considering the complicated conditions and fear of potential calamity. people can be seen everywhere lining up to make donations. in many cities, blood banks have been reported up to saturation; and volunteers wishing to donate blood have to register and wait for to be notified. more and more people are eager to be involved in the rescue and relief work that they are becoming unsatisfied with the disaster-relief efforts made outside of the quake-ravaged areas; and volunteers are descending upon the worst-hit areas in growing numbers.
it is pity that there are a lot of disasters in this olympic year. this year, we, chinese people, really have suffered a lot. however, we have not been defeated, instead, we’ve become more united and show great resolution to overcome all kinds of challenges to make our country more thriving and prosperous.when people shout slogans cheer up, china!, cheer up, wenchuan! after a three-minute silent tribute to quake victims, at the tian’anmen square in central beijing,i know that the nightmare of the 8 days gone by will fade from the collective chinese mind with time;and i could see the chinese longings to rebuild a better future with dauntless perseverance and national esprit de corps !
第2篇 描寫奧運(yùn)的英語演講稿
first, i would like to know, what does your destiny offer you? happiness, wisdom, a strong body or something else. if i had asked this question to president nixon, he would probably had said,”our destiny offers not the cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity.”
needless to say, one of the biggest opportunities given to china is the 2008 olympic games. till now, we have used two sevenths of the preparation time. how much changes have you seen? new roads, new subway lines, public-exercising equipments with beautiful colors, large blocks of grass fields, and also lots of modern gyms which are under construction.
other than those, there are even more good effects brought to us by the olympic games that cannot be seen directly. for example, more and more people will get to know china. i’m sure the mysterious chinese culture will attract them strongly. and the games will also do good to the economy and environment, for it is gaining the attention of foreign investors and the awareness of environmental protection is being strengthened. what is more, olympic games give a unique opportunity to inspire and educate a new generation of chinese youth with the olympic values and the olympic spirit. now that we have seen so many advances, could you even imagine us losing the holding rights?
i’ve already said a lot about the olympics and china. but i think everyone should use some time to think of this question, ”does the olympic games have any special meaning to you?”
for us, i mean the chinese youth, 2008 olympic games is a tremendous gift. because what we are waiting for is to do something significant as repaying the love given to us .the society is just like a ship, and in our dreams the captain is waving his hand and saying ”hey! come here and take the helm! ”how charming his voice is, but we have never heard of it in our true life. this morning, however, when we wake up, we will see the olympic games waving its hand. after chewing, most of us will have at least one plan about what to do for the olympic games. and mine is to be a “comforter” ----that is someone who will give comfort to others.
at the end of my speech, i hope all the preparation will go well, and everyone will show their ability to the world. let us seize opportunities and give a big smile to challenges.
