英语的演讲2

  Hi everybody.

  Beauty usually refers to what appeals to the eye. A nice and well built girl is regarded as beautiful. A bunch of vigorous flowers are also considered as beautiful. A splendid waterfall coming down from a mountain is as well looked on as beautiful.

  Beauty also refers to what appeals to the mind. The virtue of the Chinese nation-industry and bravery are taken as beautiful, because it helped to produce such a magnificent culture in the world. Einstein's theory of relativity is also perceived as beautiful, for it explains many natural phenomena so perfectly.

  Beauty is around us. If you keep an eye or pay some attention, it is never difficult to find something beautiful somewhere about you. Wonderful natural spots, historical relics,fine arts, splendid buildings, and kind people are just a few inches away.

  thank you.

  Good morning,dear teacher and my friends.

  I think my dad was a hero for me when i was a young child. we'd go fishing, walks, and other fun things for a kid.

  Every child has a good and great father, and so do i. my dad played a very important role in my daily life——exactly speaking, in my past 16 years.

  My father always stands in the center of my life, from past till now and possibly in the future.

  My family was rather poor when i was in my childhood. we didn't have our own house and had to live in a shabby, small room rented from my father's factory. the room was so small that there was little space for people to walk. i didn't have my own bed and had to sleep with my parents. this is terrible both for my parents and me.

  But father made this all different!he works very hard on his own business, now we have our own 2 housese,surly,i have my own he take our family so much happiness, richer and richer.

  When i was little, i did everything with my dad. you could always find me sitting on his knee or walking and doing everything with him. every night he would read me a bed time story and make the voices of each character.

  I learnt a lot from my daddy. i learnt to never take things to seriously and to always smile.

  Like many other fathers, my dad and i also has generation gap. he is not good at or even can’t work the computer. so when i sitting at the computer desk,he will say something like ‘you should pay more attention to your study’, ‘don’t waste time on the computer games’ , ‘it will be bad for your eyes’ and so on. how can i- a computer fan – reduce time on computer? so i continue studying and playing on it

  Years pasted, my father is over 45 now. it is time for me to look after him and i am sure i will do and we will live an even better life. and i will say,i really love you dad,cause you are the hero in my mind.

  Thank you so much!

英语的演讲6

  Friendship 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!

英语的演讲7

  It is easy to describe success in terms of money, fame and reputation. But I believe that success is not external. I believe that success comes from within. My definition of success is to be true to yourself, and be true to others. That means, that you must cherish your personal ideal even in the face of adversity. I also believe that success is not discriminatory. Success is not restricted to such a class of people, in fact, it may be achieved by any person irrespective of his race, creed, gender and economic background. A good example of success is that of Beethoven. He is one of the world's most famous composers, yet he was deaf. He could not hear the majestic pieces of music that he created. Yet, in the face of this adversity, he was able to maintain his ideals''that of composing music.

  To exemplify what success means to me, I pose a question to all of you. What brings us together here today? I believe that it is the beauty of the spoken word. The effect of pause and the sound of rhetoric are unique to the spoken word. I believe the beauty of the spoken word is even stronger for those who have difficulty in expressing themselves. These people are reclusive and had their emotions hidden within them. I once went to Australia and I saw two pictures, Once was drawn by a normal child, the other was drawn by a child with social inhibitions. The picture drawn by the normal child was simple and plain. The other was life'like, full of details and imagination. What this shows is that these are ideas, emotions and feelings that are locked internally in these children.

  My ideal is to be the key, spreading the beauty of the spoken words to these children. These children have been neglected, but I feel that I can and should help these children to find themselves and be able to express themselves.

  I realize that this is a difficult task, and there are many obstacles on the way. But I believe in my ideals and I will stick to them''even in the face of adversity. We should never have a premature abortion of ideals'let the child, let our ideals, stand the challenge. For a life without ideals is not living.

英语的演讲8

  Everyone is attracted by beauty and beauty is powerful. But what is true beauty? Perhaps you can get the answer from the following story.

  This morning I went to the market to buy some vegetables with my parents. On the way we all highly praised a young man in western-style clothes and leather shoes who was riding by. But he rode so fast that he knocked an old lady down ead of stopping, he pretended not to see this and rode away quickly. We were all very angry with the young man. To our happiness, a girl in plain dress ran forward at once, helped the lady up and took her home. We all praised the girl.

  From this we know we cannot judge a person by his appearance. A person who is dressed beautifully may not have a beautiful soul. Only a person who has a beautiful soul is really beautiful.

英语的演讲9

  “My breath swallows the sky and make the yellow river overflow, my sword is famous in Kyushu and it can collapse the five sacred mountains.” At some time in the past I also had am bitious words and I had some achievements. Each achievement results from my hard work. I always believe that “If you want to have more achievements than others, you must work harder.” In some extent, the dream is the hope. If you can insist on doing something, the victory will come.

  Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken'winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today. Let's" move"out!

  Thank you for your listening!

英语的演讲10

  英语输出能力是英语教育工作者和英语学习者共同关注的一个问题。然而输出能力的培养并不容易,尤其是有些地方的英语基础教育还是以哑巴英语为主,这极大地阻碍了输出能力的培养。对于进入英语专业的学生来说,提高他们的英语输出能力迫在眉睫。英语即兴演讲因其快速分析、反应和表述能力等诸方面的要求,使其成为提高输出能力的一个有力武器。

  一、英语即兴演讲

  即兴演讲,是在事先并没有做任何准备的情况下,自发或被要求立即进行的当众演讲,是一种不凭借文稿来表情达意的口语交际活动。英语即兴演讲的成功与否主要取决于以下几个方面:

  1、演讲者知识储备及心理素质

  演讲者平时要注意广泛阅读,扩大知识面,同时,加强心理素质的准备,加强思想道德、情感信心等各方面的修养。英语即兴演讲对英语能力的要求是比较高的,要求具备较大的词汇量、较强的英语语音和口语能力。

  2、快速思维技巧

  即兴演讲者必须具有较强的快速思维能力,这实际上就是一个快速创作、打腹稿的过程,具体说来,要经过观察、抓话题、确定观点、通篇构思(形成框架)、确定关键词、组织语言、表达等一系列的思维过程。

  即兴演讲的框架可以按照如下模式来展开:时间模式(以历史—现实—未来为线索展开);以小见大模式(从具体事件入手,最后得出结论);以大见小模式(从事件的大背景和 大道理入手,揭露事物的实质);比较模式(对两事物进行对比论述);总分模式(将事物分成不同方面加以论述)。

  3、英语语言方面的要求

  在英语的运用方面,要求用词准确、语法正确、语言组织有序、语音语调正确合理、节奏与停顿到位、语言流畅、交际能力强。交际能力强是指在遇到不会的生词时,可以绕过它用不同的方式表达出来。

  二、英语即兴演讲训练对英语输出能力的作用

  krashen(1981)指出,可理解输入是语言习得的关键,它强调语言输入(i)的意义必须为习得者所理解,同时输入的语言形式或功能应超出现有水平(i+1)。swain(1985)在输入假设的基础上提出了“输出假设”,该假设认为,除了必要的可理解输入外,学习者必须有机会使用所学的语言,这样才有可能达到流利、类似母语者的水平。此外,教师的推动(push)可以促使学生进一步分析目的语的语法、结构以及用法,因而能产生超越目前语言能力(i)的效果,即“i+1”的输出,也就是可理解输出。英语即兴演讲训练就是一个说写结合的可理解输出过程。

  英语即兴演讲训练是在老师的组织引导下进行的。笔者将这个训练放在英语专业精读课的前5分钟。首先由老师给出即兴演讲的题目,然后给学生2-3分钟的准备时间,这期间要求学生仔细审题、确定观点,之后进行框架构思,可以用关键词记录整个演讲的提纲,但不可以用完整的句子。时间一到马上停止,老师随机点名上台演讲。

  英语即兴演讲训练实质上是两种输出能力,即说和写的结合。我们直接看到的是学生的口语表达,但在口语表达的背后,隐匿着作文构思的全过程。学生在两三分钟的时间里进行了快速构思训练,这是一个思维非常高效的运转过程,课后学生要马上把提纲扩充成一篇作文,进行笔头输出训练。毕竟即兴演讲的限时性决定了说出来的内容还不那么精细,结构也不太严密,语言也不可能十分准确,所以在经过书面作文之后,学生把要说的话变成文稿,对腹稿进行加工润色,写出来的.演讲稿会比之前的腹稿提升很多。这种先说后写的即兴演讲训练方式锻炼了学生的快速构思能力、快速语言组织能力,英语交际能力。同时,这种即兴演讲的超短时准备和训练为学生提供了一个英语强化输出的环境和场所,同学们还可以从别人那里学到自己所欠缺的思想、语言、自信等等;另外,每个人演讲过后,老师都会对该生的各方面表现进行评价,对语言输出中的问题会着重点评,对写出来的演讲稿老师也会精心批改点评。老师的有力推动更加促进了学生i+1的语言输出能力。

  三、结语

  英语即兴演讲训练作为一种口笔头并重的语言输出方式,为学生提供了很好的输出平台,在老师的推动下更加促进了学生的语言输出质量。

英语的演讲11

  If we changed the rules of football, greatly enlarged the goal and sent away David Seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another David, namely David Beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings. If we further changed the rules by not allowing Arsenal's defenders to defend, so that Beckham needed only to lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all, because the meaning of winning would have disappeared. In accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, success acquires its value. The sense of attainment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes.

  The concept of success is not constant but relative because the nature of difficulty is also relative. Something you do effortlessly might pose a great difficulty for a handicapped person. In acquiring the ability to do the same as you can, he or she achieve success. That's why we greatly admire Stephen Hawking, because, though confined to a wheel chair, he has contributed greatly to the field of science.

  I myself, a rather shy person by nature who easily suffer from stage fright, had to pluck up great courage to take part in a speech contest like this. I could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the university level I chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties. Now here I am. If I come out first, it will be a great success for me. If I come out last-I hope this will not be the case-but if I come out last, I will not call my attempt a failure, but will also celebrate it as a true success, because part of my goal is my own character training-to do more assertive, to be brave in face of difficulties. For me, it is a meaningful step forward, small as it is, in the long journey toward the final success in my life, because I have truly gained by participating.

  Let us return to our handsome young prince and the 4-step definition of success. You my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of wealth, position and fame were not mentioned as part of the story, but rather, it emphasized the process of overcoming difficulties. The ancient wisdom had already defined the meaning of success, and this is my definition, too.

  Thank you.

xxx:

  青春不是生命的一段时光,是一种心境;这不是玫瑰色的脸颊,红色的嘴唇和柔软的膝盖,这是一个情感的问题:这是新鲜;这是生命深泉的清新。

  青春意味着一种气质上的优势,勇气战胜了欲望的胆怯,冒险战胜了对安逸的热爱。60岁的男人比20岁的男孩更容易出现这种情况。没有人仅仅因为年龄而变老。我们因放弃理想而变老。

  岁月使皮肤起皱,但放弃热情会使灵魂起皱。担忧、恐惧、自我&; ndash不信任扭曲心灵,使精神化为灰烬。

  无论是16岁还是60岁,每个人都有的心是奇迹的诱惑,对事物永恒的'童心。接下来是生活游戏的乐趣。在你我的内心深处。是一个无线电台:只要它接收到来自人类和宇宙的美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信息,只要你还年轻。

  当天线倒塌时,你的精神被玩世不恭和悲观厌世的冰雪覆盖,那么你就老了,即使你只有20岁,但只要你竖起天线,捕捉乐观的信号,你就有希望在80岁时英年早逝。

  谢谢!

  英语演讲的技巧

  1. 演讲前的准备

  1 善用空间的演讲

  所谓空间就是指进行演说的场所范围、演讲者所在之处以及与听众间的距离等等。演说者所在之处以位居听众注意力容易汇集的地方最为理想。例如开会的时候、主席多半位居会议桌的上方、因为该处正是最容易汇集出席者注意力的地方。

  反之,如果主席位居会议桌之正中央,则会议的进行情况会变如何呢?恐怕会使出席者注意力散漫了,且有会议冗长不休的感觉?因此,让自己位居听众注意力容易汇集之处,不但能够提升听众对于演讲的关注,甚至具有增强演说者信赖度权威感的效果。

  2 演讲应注意的几个问题

  2.1 演讲时的姿势

  演说时的姿势(posture)也会带给听众某种印象,例如堂堂正正的印象或者畏畏缩缩的印象。虽然个人的性格与平日的习惯对此影响颇巨,不过一般而言仍有方便演讲的姿势,即所谓“轻松的姿势”。要让身体放松,反过来说就是不要过度紧张。过度的紧张不但会表现出笨拙僵硬的姿势,而且对于舌头的动作也会造成不良的影响。

  诀窍之一是张开双脚与肩同宽,挺稳整个身躯。另一个诀窍是想办法扩散并减轻施加在身体上的紧张情绪。例如将一只手稍微插入口袋中,或者手触桌边、或者手握麦克风等等。

  2.2 演讲时的视线

  在大众面前说话,亦即表示必须忍受众目睽睽的注视。当然,并非每位听众都会对你报以善意的眼光。尽管如此,你还是不可以漠视听众的眼光,避开听众的视线来说话。尤其当你走到麦克风旁边站立在大众面前的那一瞬间,来自听众的视线有时甚至会让你觉得刺痛。

  克服这股视线压力的秘诀,就是一面进行演讲;一面从听众当中找寻对于自己投以善意而温柔眼光的人。并且无视于那些冷淡的眼光。此外,把自己的视线投向强烈“点头”以示首肯的人,对巩固信心来进行演说也具有效果。

  2.3演讲时的脸部表情

  演讲时的脸部表情无论好坏都会带给听众极其深刻的印象。紧张、疲劳、喜悦、焦虑、等情绪无不清楚地表露在脸上,这是很难藉由本人的意志来加以控制的。演讲的内容即使再精彩,如果表情总觉缺乏自信,老是畏畏缩缩,演讲就很容易变得欠缺说服力。

  控制脸部的方法,首先“不可垂头”。人一旦“垂头”就会予人“丧气”之感,而且若视线不能与听众接触,就难以吸引听众的注意。另一个方法是“缓慢说话”。说话速度一旦缓慢,情绪即可稳定,脸部表情也得以放松,再者,全身上下也能够为之泰然自若起来。

  2.4 有关服饰和发型

  服装也会带给观众各种印象。尤其是东方男性总是喜欢穿着灰色或者蓝色系列的服装,难免给人过于刻板无趣印象。轻松的场合不妨穿着稍微花俏一点的服装来参加。不过如果是正式的场合,一般来说仍以深色西服、男士无尾晚宴服、以及燕尾服为宜。其次,发型也可塑造出各种形象来。长发和光头各自蕴含其强烈的形象,而鬓角的长短也被认为是个人喜好的表征。站出来演讲之际,你的服装、究竟带给对方何种印象?希望各位好好地思量一番。

  2.5 声音和腔调

  声音和腔调乃是与生俱来的,不可能一朝一夕之间有所改善。不过音质与措词对于整个演说影响颇巨,这倒是事实。根据某项研究报告指出声音低沉的男性比声音高亢的男性,其信赖度较高。因为声音低沉会让人有种威严沉着的感觉。尽管如此,各位还是不可能马上就改变自己的声音。总之,重要的`是让自己的声音清楚地传达给听众。即使是音质不好的人,如果能够禀持自己的主张与信念的话,依旧可以吸引听众的热切关注。

  说话的速度也是演讲的要素。为了营造沉着的气氛,说话稍微慢点是很重要。标准大致为5分钟三张左右的A4原稿,不过,此地要注意的是,倘若从头至尾一直以相同的速度来进行,听众会睡觉的。

  英语演讲的注意事项

  首先,你是在用英语演讲,要牢记这一点,学会用英文思考!

  其次,要注意发音,尤其是单词的发音。很多同学认为这没什么,只要发准就行了,其实不然。单词有一个音节的问题,这是我们常常忽略的,是几个音节就一定要发出几个音节,这很关键!如:beautiful 这个单词有三个音节,而很多同学只发出了两个,千万要注意!

  演讲是演讲者面向观众阐述对某事物的观点、看法的过程。他指出public speaking和genernal speaking的区别在于内容、选择对象和目的。接着,赵阳讲述了如何准备演讲稿:即要选择范围,整理思路、搜索材料。他要求同学们要拿出演讲稿进行讨论,永远不要期待完美,永远不要期待观众懂得更多。接下来,他强调了演讲过程中要注意的几点问题:演讲稿的熟练程度、站立姿势、面部表情、发型衣着、声音和情感等。

英语的演讲14

  i promise you tonight that i will reach across party lines to bring progress for all of new york's families. today we voted as democrats and republicans. tomorrow we begin again as new yorkers.

  and how fortunate we are indeed to live in the most diverse, dynamic and beautiful state in the entire union. you know, from the south bronx to the southern tier, from brooklyn to buffalo, from montauk to massena, from the world's tallest skyscrapers to breathtaking mountain ranges, i've met people whose faces and stories i will never forget. thousands of new yorkers from all 62 counties welcomed to me into your schools, your local diners, your factory floors, your living rooms and front porches. you taught me, you tested me and you shared with me your challenges and concerns - about overcrowded or crumbling schools, about the struggle to care for growing children and aging parents, about the continuing challenge of providing equal opportunity for all and about children moving away from their home towns because good jobs are so hard to find in upstate new york. now i've worked on issues like these for a long time, some of them for 30 years, and i am determined to make a difference for all of you.

  you see, i believe our nation owes every responsible citizen and every responsible family the tools that they need to make the most of their own lives. that's the basic bargain. i'll do my best to honor in the united states senate.

  and to those of you who did not support me, i want you to know that i will work in the senate for you and for all new yorkers. and to those of you who worked so hard and never lost faith even in the toughest times, i offer you my undying gratitude.

英语的演讲15

  认识jerry是在两年前,当时是去报导一场叫做“让英语不再是我们永远的痛”的演讲会,主讲人就是英语奇才jerrydai。说起来也许你不相信,原本是工作原因,想着拍个新闻照片就走人,而jerry在台上充满活力、激情四射的演讲在开场的10分钟就引起我极大的共鸣和兴趣。结果我不仅听完了整个演讲,在回家的路上竟然还满脑子想着一定要把自己的英语按照jerry的办法提高提高。

  能将一场如何学好纯正英语的演讲变得如此生动精彩,想必这个80年代生的小伙子背后一定有很多自己的.故事。当天在后台我就跟jerry说要作他的专访。可是惭愧啊惭愧,这采访一拖就是一年。今个暖冬的第一场大雪后,我们终于约定了采访时间,有机会认识了一个舞台下和教室外的jerry。

  坐在对面的jerry虽然身着正装,带了副斯文的眼镜,却丝毫掩饰不了烁烁发光的眼神里透出的一种“新鲜气质”。怎么说呢,那是一种灵气。采访当然是用中文进行的(如果用英文估计我听懂的也就80%)。jerry的国语、英语、甚至连他自己一说都笑得不行的东北土话都说得相当“正宗”。这真是一个语言天才!我想。

  我不是一个语言天才

  “我其实不是一个语言天才。”jerry坐下来说的第一句话就把我的想法给否决了。

  jerry来加拿大才六年多,年少成长的一大段日子都在中国,接受的是典型的中国式敎育。所学的英语大部分只是死记硬背的单词和应试技巧。到了这个陌生的国度,他自己讲的英语别人听不懂,而别人的话他也是一知半解,他感觉好像突然与外界有了隔阂。

  尽管在出国前有着雄心壮志,jerry却因为不能与人沟通,浑身纵有使不完的力气也无济于事。于是,他下定决心苦攻英语。“语言根本不是靠天赋的!”jerry又说,“学英语的过程其实是一个自我挑战的艰辛历程。”

  当初他并不知从何入手。为了练英语,他想方设法去找当地人聊天,试来试去结果是碰一鼻子灰。他总是先在脑子里用中文想好要说的话,再找到相应的英文单词,然后用所学的语法去套出要讲的英文句子。如此下来,说出去的句子结结巴巴,常常他还没说完,对方早把话抢了过去,语速飞快地又丢过来一大堆话。这样的话他当然听不明白,而“pardon”多了也不是办法,结果对方早已失去了交谈的兴趣,而他自己也信心尽失。

  但他不是轻易放弃的人。jerry想,不如试试退回来“闭门造车”练英语。自从有了这种“顿悟”,他开始把自己当作一个牙牙学语的孩子,完全用耳朵去感受纯正的发音,去捕捉一个个单词的开音合音、唇音齿音,去熟悉一个个句子的抑扬顿挫。

  jerry说,在开始的大半年里,他发痴似地寻找英语中每一个准确的发音部位,然后一遍遍地模仿。有时为了一个单词的准确发音,要练上一千多遍。他说,这真是个很痛苦的过程。

  这期间,他做了很多旁人认为是“crazy”的事情,比如:刻意只看英文电视报纸,不交中国朋友,把电脑装成英文系统,甚至把自己关在房间里大声跟电视主持人练发音等。jerry说,这样做了一段时间的确有了成效,而不只有他可以做到这些事情,任何人都可以,但是有个前提条件,就是:“onlyifyoureallywantto!”
