告訴大家一個好消息——我們學校要在執信中學舉辦藝術節啦!

20xx年1月12日(星期四)，我左手捧着粉紅色的藝術節邀請函，右手握着給表演同學們加油鼓勁兒的熒光棒，懷着激動的心情踏進了執信中學的大門。

當我隨着人羣走進執信中學的禮堂時，我看到了那一張張熟悉的面孔——我的同學們。他們每個人的臉上都洋溢着莫名的興奮，可能是因為期盼已久的藝術節終於到來了吧!

在校長的開場白後，我們的藝術節終於正式開始了!

首先是一年級同學入少先隊的儀式。等三位高年級的同學把紅豔豔的隊旗升上去之後，就開始宣誓。在宣誓時，同學們個個都神情專注，十分認真。然後，在大隊輔導員的領導下，我們唱起了少先隊隊歌。

這次藝術節的節目真可以説是五花八門，有唱歌的、跳舞的、朗誦的、合唱的、管樂的……看得我們目不暇接。節目一個比一個精彩，觀眾們大聲鼓掌、喝彩。其中，我最喜歡的，就是管樂了。

管樂隊的同學們演奏的是周杰倫的《菊花台》和《牛仔很忙》。同學們在演奏的時候專心，把這兩首曲子吹得很好聽。把他們平時練就的本事展顯得淋漓盡致。

這麼精彩的藝術節，你有沒有錯過呢?

A Young Idler,An Old Beggar

Almost everyone knows the famous Chinese saying：A young idler，an old beggar. Throughout history，we have seen many cases in which this saying has again and again proved to be true.

It goes without saying that the youth is the best time of life，during which one's mental and physical states are at their peaks. It takes relatively less time and pains to learn or accept new things in a world full of changes and rapid developments. In addition，one is less likely to be under great pressure from career，family and health problems when young. Therefore，a fresh mind plus enormous energy will ensure success in different aspects of life.

Of course，we all know：no pains，no gains. If we don't make every effort to make good use of the advantages youth brings us，it is impossible to achieve any goals. As students，we should now try our best to learn all the subjects well so that we can be well prepared for the challenges that we will face in the future.

譯文

少壯不努力,老大徒傷悲

幾乎所有人都知道中國有一句老話:少壯不努力,老大徒傷悲.通過閲讀歷史,我們從一個又一個的案例當中得知,這句話被證實是真確的.

不用説都知道,在青年時期,人的智力和身體狀況都是一生中最好的,這也是一個人一生中最好的時期.在這個處處都不停地轉變,飛快地發展的世界裏,年輕使人相對地用更少的時間去學習和領悟新知.在這時,很少人會困在從事業上來的壓力下,家庭和健康問題也比較小(就是説不是沒有--譯者).所以,一個清醒的腦袋加上巨大的能量就會成就人生中不同方面的成功.

當然,我們都知道:沒有挫折就沒有獲得.如果我們沒有好好努力去利用年輕帶給我們的優勝之處,那就沒有可能獲得任何的成功.作為中學生,我們應該做到最好去學好每一個科目,這樣的話,我們就可以為將來即將面對的挑戰做好準備.

She takes care of my daily lifeand clean the house. It is such a difficulty but boring work. Only the one withlove and patience can do it. I am so thankful to my mother.

如果有人問我什麼工作是世界上最偉大的工作，我會告訴他是家庭主婦的工作。我媽媽就是做這個工作。她放棄了她的事業，因為家庭需要有人照顧。她照顧着我的日常生活，打掃房子，這是困難又枯燥的工作，只有有愛心和耐心的人才能做到。我很感謝我的媽媽。

短篇英語演講稿 篇8

Beggars are one of the most familiar groups in every city. They accompany us from our childhood until now, and I've found both the beggars and I change in this journey.

Years ago as a little girl, when I came across some old and disabled beggars on the road, I'd donate some pocket money to them, happily thinking I was helping.

s I have grown older, I've found the number of beggars has grown larger and they are more diverse. They appear in every corner of the city, on the overbridge, on the street, near restaurants, and even at your door. In contrast with the old days, it seems like the situation with beggars today is more complicated, which has made me hesitate before deciding whether to help them or not.

It's hard for me to give them money considering some who appear beggars in day time but dress up and go to fancy restaurants at night; and some who are controlled by some illegal organization and the money they get all goes to the organization. If I help them, I'd be making the problem worse, I'd be doing harm to the society, indirectly. But it's also hard not to give them money, considering there're real beggars who really need help. If I don't help them, who will? And where is my sympathy?

What hurts me the most is not how hard it is to distinguish the real help-seekers from the many false ones, but that some children are forced by adults, sometimes even their parents, to beg. They grow up despised by the world, out of mainstream society. When I see their eyes filled with desperation and impudence instead of purity and innocence, my heart sinks. We don't know how they will face the world when they grow up, how this will shape their characters, and what they may do to the society, to perpetuate this cycle of violence.

Months ago the Fu Jian government has promulgated a new policy to deal with 8 kinds of beggars. An internet survey shows that over 80% of voters reacted positively toward the policy. We know that one single policy cannot solve a problem as complex as this one, but we do look forward to some improvement. I wish all humanity can live like human.

今日乞丐

在城市中，乞丐是我們最熟悉的羣體之一。他們伴隨着我們的成長，從童年直到現在。在這個過程中，我發現，乞丐和我都在變。

小時候，每當看到路旁的乞丐，通常是老人或殘疾人，我會給他們一些零錢，並且高興地認為我幫了他們。

長大後，我發現身邊乞丐的數量有所增加，而且他們種類繁多。他們無所不在，天橋上，大街上，飯館旁，家門口，城市中處處是他們的身影。比起過去，今天的乞丐似乎更加複雜，使得我在決定幫不幫他們的時候猶豫不決。

想到那些白天裝作乞丐行乞，而夜晚換裝後跑到賓館作樂的人;想到那些被不法集團控制，然後把乞討來的錢上交給集團的人，我真的很難做到給他們錢。可是，想到那些真正需要幫助的乞丐，又很難做到不幫他們。如果不幫他們，我的同情心死到哪去了?

最讓我難受的，並不是因為從眾多的假乞丐中找出真乞丐是多麼的困難，而是那些被成人，甚至被父母教唆，去乞討的孩子們。他們在歧視中長大，和主流社會脱離。當我看到他們眼睛裏本應有的純真和童稚被絕望和無恥取代時，心裏便很難受。我們不知道他們長大後會怎樣面對這個世界，他們的性格會被童年的經歷塑造成什麼樣子，以及他們有可能對社會做出怎樣的事情---讓惡性循環繼續?

幾個月前，福建省頒佈了一項針對八類乞丐的新政策。網上調查顯示，超過80%的人對此政策持樂觀態度。雖然如此複雜的問題不能通過單單一項政策得以解決，我們還是期待着一些改善。願所有的人都能像人一樣活着。

短篇英語演講稿 篇9

Recently watching American TV Dramas has become more and more popular with youth in our country. There are various kinds of reasons. Generally speaking, TV Dramas are suitable for the psychology of youth. The network technology will be developed as well at the same time. What’s more, it can make our spoken English well. Every coin has two sides, but it shows off a humanism, and spreads bad influences such as violence, etc.

I think the positive influences are more important than negative ones.

First of all, a number of American TV Dramas express duty, family, freedom, justice and love concept. It’s useful to develop youth’s recessive education. Only in this way will TV Dramas play a positive part and make up for shortcomings in political education. Next, it can broaden our eyes and knowledge and make us know what is different from home and abroad. With this method, we can know the western society. We’ll be affected by different culture ambience and ideology concept. Under the background of the whole world, knowing the cultures of western countries can promote each country’s communications well. In addition, In this process, TV Dramas play a role of bridge. Then, it will develop independent personality. America uphold particular concept and suggest their educational productions. Youth is the most energetic generation, encourages people show off personality and dares to break the outmoded conventions. It’s the prerequisite of innovation.

Finally, TV Dramas also help you face reality and surmount ideality. Nowadays, some youth always depend on others, such as their parents or friends. They also have idealism and is extremely conceited or inferiority. They often don’t find themselves in society, due to the influences of life education environment.

By this we can make a conclusion. No matter how hard it will be, we should always be free and try our best to conquer the enemy, just like the actors in the film. Another thing we have to remember is the great development of China. TV Dramas’ productions suggest the culture and psychological state of the country from some kinds of degree. It can promote our country’s economic development. Watching TV Dramas is a way to follow fashion. Therefore, everyone should work hard to make our country stronger and stronger. Through American TV Dramas, we should strengthen our duty and proud of our country. Let’s work together!

短篇英語演講稿 篇10

hello everyone!

I have a dream that one day every vally shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

Wow, what a dream it has been for Martin Luther King. But the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up, and sometimes I personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.

However, we meed dreams. They nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. They keep us going. Most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great. When we were little kids, we all dreamed of doing something big and splashy, something significant. Now what we need to do is to maintain them, refresh them and turn them into reality. However, the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how to translate these dreams into actions. Well, just start with concrete objectives and stick to it. Don’t let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong belief of future. Through our talents, through our wits, through our endurance and through our creativity, we will make it.

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.

Thank you!

短篇英語演講稿 篇13

the family had just moved to rhode island, and the young woman was feeling a little melancholy on that sunday in may. after all, it was mother's day -- and 800 miles separated her from her parents in ohio.

一家人剛移居羅德島。5月的那個星期天， 年輕女人感到有點兒憂傷。畢竟， 這一天是母親節─而她卻與俄亥俄州的父母親遙距800英里。

she had called her mother that morning to wish her a happy mother's day, and her mother had mentioned how colorful the yard was now that spring had arrived. as they talked, the younger woman could almost smell the tantalizing aroma of purple lilacs hanging on the big bush outside her parents'back door.

她那天早上給母親打去電話， 祝母親節日愉快。隨後， 她的母親向她提起， 因為春天已經來臨， 所以院子裏的色彩是多麼絢麗。在她們通話的當兒， 年輕女人幾乎可以聞到懸垂在父母親後門外大灌木叢上的紫丁香醉人的芬芳。

later, when she mentioned to her husband how she missed those lilacs, he popped up from his chair. "i know where we can find you all you want, "he said. "get the kids and c'mon. "

so off they went, driving the country roads of northern rhode island on the kind of day only mid-may can produce：sparkling sunshine, unclouded azure skies and vibrant newness of the green growing all around. they went past small villages and burgeoning housing developments, past abandoned apple orchards, back to where trees and brush have devoured old homesteads.

後來， 她向丈夫説起她是如何懷念那些紫丁香時， 他突然從椅子上躍起。"我知道在哪兒能找到你想要的東西， "他説， "帶上孩子， 走吧。"

於是， 他們就出發了， 驅車行駛在羅德島北部的鄉村小路上， 那種天氣只有5月中旬才會有：閃亮的陽光、蔚藍色的晴空以及生機勃勃、隨處可見的綠意。他們穿過一座座小村莊和一座座拔地而起的房屋， 穿過廢棄的蘋果園， 來到了樹林和嗄敬匝謨車睦嚇┏　?/span>

where they stopped, dense thickets of cedars and ju nipers and birch crowded the roadway on both sides. there wasn't a lilac bush in sight.

"come with me , "the man said. "over that hill is an old cellar hole, from somebody's farm of years ago, and there are lilacs all round it. the man who owns this land said i could poke around here anytime. i'm sure he won't mind if we pick a few lilacs. "

他們停下車。車道兩邊長滿了茂盛的雪松、杜鬆和白樺樹。眼前沒有一棵紫丁香。

"隨我來， "那個男人説， "翻過那座小山， 有個老地窖， 幾年前是一個人的農場， 四周長滿了紫丁香。這塊地的主人説我可以隨時到這兒來閒逛。我相信， 要是我們採幾束紫丁香， 他不會介意。"

before they got halfway up the hill, the fragrance of the lilacs drifted down to them, and the kids started running. soon, the mother began running, too, until she reached the top.

there, far from view of passing motorists and hidden from encroaching civilization, were the towering lilacs bushes, so laden with the huge, cone-shaped flower clusters that they almost bent double. with a smile, the young woman rushed up to the nearest bush and buried her face in the flowers, drinking in the fragrance and the memories it recalled.

還沒等他們到達半山腰， 紫丁香的芬芳已經向他們飄了過來。於是， 孩子們開始奔跑。不久， 那位母親也開始跑起來， 直至到達山頂。

那裏， 遠離了過往司機的視野， 避開了紛擾的文明世界， 高聳的丁香花叢開滿了碩大的圓錐形的串串花束， 幾乎把花莖壓成了兩折。那個年輕女人微笑着衝到最近的一處花叢， 把臉埋在鮮花中， 啜飲着芳香， 陶醉在重新喚起的記憶中。

while the man examined the cellar hole and tried to explain to the children what the house must have looked like, the woman drifted among the lilacs. carefully, she chose a sprig here, another one there, and clipped them with her husband's pocket knife. she was in no hurry, relishing each blossom as a rare and delicate treasure.

finally, though, they returned to their car for the trip home. while the kids chattered and the man drove, the woman sat smiling, surrounded by her flowers, a faraway look in her eyes.

在那個男人察看地窖試圖向孩子們解釋這座房子必定是什麼樣子的當兒， 那個女人不由自主地走進了紫丁香花叢。她小心翼翼地從這兒摘一枝， 那兒挑一束， 然後用丈夫的袖珍小刀將它們剪下來。她不慌不忙， 像欣賞稀有珍寶似地欣賞着每一朵花。

然而， 他們終於還是返回了汽車， 走上了回家的路。孩子們嘰嘰喳喳説個不停， 那個男人駕着車， 那個女人坐在那兒面帶微笑， 她周圍放滿了鮮花， 眼睛裏充滿着嚮往。

when they were within three miles of home, she suddenly shouted to her husband, "stop the car. stop right here!"

the man slammed on the brakes. before he could ask her why she wanted to stop, the woman was out of the car and hurrying up a nearby grassy slope with the lilacs still in her arms. at the top of the hill was a nursing home and, because it was such a beautiful spring day, the patients were outdoors strolling with relatives or sitting on the porch.

當他們離家不足3英里時， 她突然向丈夫大聲喊道："停車， 就在這裏停車!"

那個男人嘎地剎住車。還沒等他問為什麼， 女人就已經下了車， 匆匆走向附近的草坡， 懷裏仍抱着紫丁香。山頂上是一家療養院， 因為這是一個美麗的春日， 所以病人正在室外和親友溜達或坐在門廊上。

the young woman went to the end of the porch, where an elderly patient was sitting in her wheelchair, alone, head bowed, her back to most of the others. across the porch railing went the flowers, in to the lap of the old woman. she lifted her head, and smiled. for a few moments, the two women chatted, both aglow with happiness, and then the young woman turned and ran back to her family. as the car pulled away, the woman in　the wheelchair waved, and clutched the lilacs.

那個年輕女人走到門廊的盡頭， 只見那裏有一個上了年紀的病人正坐在輪椅裏， 獨自一人， 低着頭， 背對着其他人。年輕女人越過門廊欄杆， 將鮮花放在了老太太的膝間。老太太抬起頭， 露出了笑臉。兩個女人聊了一會兒， 都興高采烈。隨後， 那個年輕女人轉身跑回到家人的身邊。當汽車開動時， 坐在輪椅裏的那個女人揮動着手， 手裏緊緊地握着那束紫丁香花。

"mom, "the kids asked, "who was that?why did you give her our flowers?is she somebody's mother?"the mother said she didn't know the old woman. but it was mother's day, and she seemed so alone, and who wouldn't be cheered by flowers?"besides, "she added, "i have all of you, and i still have my mother, even if she is far away. that woman needed those flowers more than i did. "

this satisfied the kids, but not the husband. the next day he purchased half a dozen young lilacs bushes and planted them around their yard, and several times since then he has added more.

"媽媽， "孩子們問， "那人是誰呀?你為什麼把我們的花送給她?她是誰的母親呀?"他們的母親説， 她不認識那個老太太， 但今天是母親節， 她看起來是那麼孤獨， 而鮮花會給任何人帶來好心情。"再説， "她補充道， "我擁有你們， 而且我還有自己的母親， 即使她離我很遠。那個女人比我更需要那些鮮花。"

孩子們得到了滿意的答案， 但她的丈夫卻沒有。第二天， 他買了半打紫丁香幼苗， 栽到了院子四周;而且從那以後， 每隔一段時間， 他就會增加一些。

i was that man. the young mother was, and is, my wife. now, every may, our own yard is redolent with lilacs. every mother's day our kids gather purple bouquets. and every year i remember that smile on a lonely old woman's face, and the kindness that put the smile there.

我就是那個男人， 那個年輕母親是我妻子。如今， 每年5月， 我們自家的院子都會散發出濃烈的紫丁香的芬芳。每逢母親節， 我們的孩子都要採擷紫丁香花束。而且每年我都會記起一位孤獨的老太太臉上露出的笑容， 以及笑容裏呈現出的那種慈祥。

短篇英語演講稿 篇14

but the first time that i took my book out of my suitcase, the coolest girl in the bunk came up to me and she asked me, “why are you being so mellow?“ -- mellow, of course, being the exact opposite of r-o-w-d-i-e. and then the second time i tried it, the counselor came up to me with a concerned expression on her face and she repeated the point about camp spirit and said we should all work very hard to be outgoing.

and so i put my books away, back in their suitcase, and i put them under my bed, and there they stayed for the rest of the summer. and i felt kind of guilty about this. i felt as if the books needed me somehow, and they were calling out to me and i was forsaking them. but i did forsake them and i didn't open that suitcase again until i was back home with my family at the end of the summer.

now, i tell you this story about summer camp. i could have told you 50 others just like it -- all the times that i got the message that somehow my quiet and introverted style of being was not necessarily the right way to go, that i should be trying to pass as more of an extrovert. and i always sensed deep down that this was wrong and that introverts were pretty excellent just as they were. but for years i denied this intuition, and so i became a wall street lawyer, of all things, instead of the writer that i had always longed to be -- partly because i needed to prove to myself that i could be bold and assertive too. and i was always going off to crowded bars when i really would have preferred to just have a nice dinner with friends. and i made these self-negating choices so reflexively, that i wasn't even aware that i was making them.

now this is what many introverts do, and it's our loss for sure, but it is also our colleagues' loss and our communities' loss. and at the risk of sounding grandiose, it is the world's loss. because when it comes to creativity and to leadership, we need introverts doing what they do best. a third to a half of the population are introverts -- a third to a half. so that's one out of every two or three people you know. so even if you're an extrovert yourself, i'm talking about your coworkers and your spouses and your children and the person sitting next to you right now -- all of them subject to this bias that is pretty deep and real in our society. we all internalize it from a very early age without even having a language for what we're doing.

now to see the bias clearly you need to understand what introversion is. it's different from being shy. shyness is about fear of social judgment. introversion is more about, how do you respond to stimulation, including social stimulation. so extroverts really crave large amounts of stimulation, whereas introverts feel at their most alive and their most switched-on and their most capable when they're in quieter, more low-key environments. not all the time -- these things aren't absolute -- but a lot of the time. so the key then to maximizing our talents is for us all to put ourselves in the zone of stimulation that is right for us.

Everybody is good, the title of my speech today is "my dream"

Everyone have a dream, and is very good, I am no exception. I have a little dream, when I succeed at the goal, to accomplish more dreams. Beginning, I was a baby, a thought become very strong, like the children in the shaolin temple, martial arts high strength. But I think to leave my parents to far away places to practice martial arts, hard work, a little loathe to give up. During my childhood, I have a dream, I hope I have the money. Adults asked: "little girl, with money you are going to do?" "I'm going to buy bubble gum" "if you have a lot of money?" "I'm going to buy a lot of bubble gum" "if you have money to burn?" "I'll do buy bubblegum factory." Innocent childhood we, indeed, have a kind heart, happiness and happiness is a the same piece of music.

Slowly into the primary school, courses more and more deep, knowledge more and more... Will feel the pressure. Now I have a dream. I hope I don't have a lot of homework to do every day. Play a little deprived, and 40% of the day we imprisoned in the classroom, a lot of time in learning. But in the face of learning, is a kind of fuzzy knowledge. As the saying goes, "a rare confused," the understanding of things, from feudalism to capitalism, the greater the more feel that their views are right. After a busy day and night lessons every day home from school, he was sleepy and tired, no taste to eat food taken late at night. This life is very monotonous, maybe sometimes miss many of my primary school classmates, sometimes with a class or a pair of hazy sleep. Hate rigid school clothes, I never wear it everywhere. On Saturday, Sunday's time is very short, children really want to temper, slowly understand life's too hard, hard and dream ok, I will try to see everyone in to life and got up early to catch late, grasp myself no longer loose. I also want to strive for their dreams.

My speech finished, thank you!
