英語演講稿1
高中英語學(xué)科的高手歷來都具備以下四大特征:
一、詞匯量比一般學(xué)生大,語言知識(習(xí)慣用法)積累夠多。
二、語法基礎(chǔ)過硬,并且在閱讀能中敏銳地發(fā)現(xiàn)語法知識和語言知識。
三、聽說能力很強。
四、善于捕捉機會用英語表達(dá)自己,有良好的英語思維習(xí)慣。
英語是一門工具學(xué)科,其重點不在于要從老師那里學(xué)到多少有關(guān)英語的知識,而在于在老師的指導(dǎo)和幫助下,練就一套扎實過硬的聽說讀寫能力和探究英語語言規(guī)律的能力。作為剛跨進(jìn)高中大門的一年級的新生,不宜僅停留和滿足于初中英語學(xué)習(xí)中所形成的一些學(xué)習(xí)方式。過去的學(xué)習(xí)方式需要發(fā)展、改進(jìn)和完善。英語學(xué)習(xí)是在一系列活動中完成的。這些活動應(yīng)該組成一個完整的系統(tǒng)。在構(gòu)建自己的英語學(xué)習(xí)系統(tǒng)中,一定要從聽、說、讀和寫四大技能方面考慮。
能聽懂他人比較純正的英語,不僅是英語考試的需要,也是同學(xué)們未來步入社會,施展才能所必需的技能。我們平時的聽力訓(xùn)練不僅僅是在訓(xùn)練你的英語聽力,其實它也是一種語感培養(yǎng),充足的英語聽力訓(xùn)練同時也會極大的有助于提高學(xué)習(xí)者的口語能力。鑒于同學(xué)們不可能自己抽出多少時間去聽英語歌曲、看英文電影或者直接用英語與人口頭交流,那么,充分利用好本年級統(tǒng)一的聽力訓(xùn)練時間就顯得尤其重要。在聽力訓(xùn)練中,既要學(xué)會抓關(guān)鍵詞,也要學(xué)會聽懂完整的句子;既要學(xué)會聽懂不同語音語調(diào)對語意的影響,也要學(xué)會聽懂有失去爆破和連讀現(xiàn)象的句子。有難度的聽力訓(xùn)練試題最好是能在過了一段時間后,等到忘記得差不多時,有再聽一次的機會。所以在做聽力訓(xùn)練試題時,我建議同學(xué)們一律用鉛筆做記號,對完答案、看完錄音文字材料后再把鉛筆痕跡察掉。
英語的口頭表達(dá)能力雖然不是我們考試的必備能力,但它卻是同學(xué)們將來所需要的最重要的,最實用的英語技能。一口流利的英語是每一個英語學(xué)習(xí)者所夢想達(dá)到的理想水平。重視口語能力的訓(xùn)練不僅對未來有重要意義,對提高同學(xué)們高中階段的英語水平也有非常重要的意義。說英語就是運用英語。語言能力和語言知識,同許多其它能力和知識一樣,只有通過運用,并且經(jīng)常運用才會真正地學(xué)到手,學(xué)到家。英語是一門語言。語言是聽出來的',是經(jīng)過不斷模仿后才能說出來的。高中生的英語口語能力要求,除了一般日常交際應(yīng)答以外,還應(yīng)該具備能連續(xù)表達(dá)含五個以上的句子。練就一口流暢的英語口語需要同學(xué)們抓住三個機會:一是課堂上老師為同學(xué)們提供的開口機會。二是課前演講或者值日報告的機會。三是早讀是個好機會。早讀不應(yīng)該總是停留在背單詞、背課文這樣的簡單勞動中。單詞不是用來背誦的。朗讀單詞的目的是要把單詞的發(fā)音讀準(zhǔn),并且能上口,讀起來不勉強,不繞口。課文也不是用來背誦的。熟讀課文是為了加深理解,鞏固詞匯知識和語法知識。既然口語能力那么重要,同學(xué)們不妨把背誦或者復(fù)述課文當(dāng)成是口語表達(dá)或者演講的準(zhǔn)備呢?換句話說,把課文材料準(zhǔn)備得再熟悉不過以后,來一次演講展示,那且不美哉!真正的高英語水平絕不是看書看出來的,也不是做習(xí)題能做出來的,更不是聽老師講課能聽出來的。早讀期間通過不斷模仿,放聲吼叫,反復(fù)實踐,你一定能快速提高自己的口語表達(dá)能力。
英語短文閱讀的重要性不僅表現(xiàn)在高中英語考試中它的份量最大,而且還表現(xiàn)在英語短文是英語詞匯知識和語法知識的載體方面。詞匯量的擴(kuò)大、詞匯知識的豐富和句子表達(dá)的多樣性光靠死記硬背是無法也不可能實現(xiàn)的。擴(kuò)大詞匯量、豐富自己的詞匯知識和地道完美的表達(dá)自己只有依靠優(yōu)良的閱讀習(xí)慣。教材課文是精讀材料,需要同學(xué)們讀熟讀透,直至能開口娓娓道來為止。課外閱讀又叫泛讀。高中英語新課標(biāo)教材對高中前八個模塊的學(xué)習(xí)有一個要求:課外閱讀要完成30萬單詞的閱讀量。也就是說:同學(xué)們需要每天有500到700個單詞量的閱讀。課外閱讀也是運用語言的一種必不可少的形式。課外閱讀不能停留在完成幾道閱讀理解試題或者完形填空試題。關(guān)鍵在盡量弄懂文章中的每一句話含義、長難句的結(jié)構(gòu)。留意你還不很熟悉的詞匯、詞匯知識和語法知識。還要去認(rèn)真體會不同的英語句子在表達(dá)上的精確性。千萬不要在一些你還不認(rèn)識的,拼寫怪誕,發(fā)音困難的生僻詞匯上浪費時間和精力。
閱讀能力,除詞匯量大小以外,還包含閱讀速度、長難句理解、和把握主題大意的能力。要會快速閱讀,同學(xué)們必須學(xué)會一些閱讀的技能:如:skimming(跳讀)、scanning(掃讀)和digesting(研讀)。Skimming和scanning就是根據(jù)閱讀任務(wù)在文中查找相關(guān)信息。Digesting主要是用來理解長難句、把握主題大意和作者意圖以及猜測詞義的技術(shù)。不僅要研讀長難句結(jié)構(gòu),也還需要研讀邏輯關(guān)系。
流暢的短文表達(dá)能力在很大程度上依賴于你的詞匯量、詞匯知識和句法知識。它們的積累在于平時的聽、說和讀的活動。寫作表達(dá)能力中,你的英語句式的結(jié)構(gòu)思維能力或者英語習(xí)慣思維能力會對表達(dá)能力有重要影響。這就需要同學(xué)們平時養(yǎng)成一個良好習(xí)慣:那就是總是試圖用英語來表達(dá)出你眼睛所看到的,耳朵能聽到的,身體能感受到的和你思想能想到的。除此之外,一篇優(yōu)秀的短文還少不了三個要素:即結(jié)構(gòu),內(nèi)容和語言。
一片結(jié)構(gòu)完美的英文短文,尤其是說明文和議論文,往往有一個比較完優(yōu)美的,誘人深入閱讀的開頭語。主題句是可從開頭語中自然而然過度而來。你所程述的觀點,一般都要用事實做論證,或者用具體方式方法來支持。巧妙的結(jié)論句往往能使文章錦上添花。
內(nèi)容需要真實,合乎情理,能讓人信服。文中不要有與主題無關(guān)的內(nèi)容。
語言要盡可能是地道的,去漢語化的英語。要經(jīng)常套用自己在閱讀中、在課堂上學(xué)來句子結(jié)構(gòu)去表達(dá)自己。要敢于嘗試用比較復(fù)雜的句子結(jié)構(gòu)和比較高級的詞匯來使文章進(jìn)一步美化。
聽所讀寫四大技能并不是各自孤立的,也是相互作用和相互制約的。如果平時,只注重某一項技能的學(xué)習(xí)和訓(xùn)練,那是不可能成為一位真正的英語強手的。
任何一門學(xué)科都需要踏實的學(xué)習(xí)作風(fēng)。外語也不例外。學(xué)外語的實主要表現(xiàn)在以下幾個方面:
一、落實詞匯、詞匯知識和特殊句式的積累。落實詞匯和詞匯知識并不是反復(fù)背記詞匯表中的單詞。落實詞匯、詞匯知識以及特殊句式的最好辦法是先探究后運用。一個詞匯在經(jīng)過七到八次在不同時間和不同的語境中運用后,它就是你的了。詞匯知識和特殊句式也是一樣。寫作是運用,造句是運用,閱讀,傾聽和與他人用英語交流也是運用。借助詞典進(jìn)行造句練習(xí),在造句中運用新學(xué)的詞匯不失為一種行之有效的簡單易行的方式。
二、落實課外閱讀。每天堅持花半小時閱讀一兩篇短文。一要真正讀懂。二要留意詞匯運用。
三、落實早自習(xí)精讀。每次有硬指標(biāo),死任務(wù)。
四、落實課內(nèi)課外書面作業(yè)。簡單的完成老師布置的作業(yè)量并不是落實。書面作業(yè)質(zhì)的落實必須是在真正懂了、記住了的基礎(chǔ)上又快又好的獨立的、閉卷式的完成書面作業(yè)。對發(fā)現(xiàn)的漏洞和缺陷要采取補救措施。
五、落實自主探究的學(xué)習(xí)能力培養(yǎng)。學(xué)習(xí)中缺乏自主探究,不善于利用團(tuán)隊合作和與老師溝通是很多高中生在學(xué)習(xí)中存在的一種普遍想象。老師不是保姆,老師不可能把英語的詞匯知識和英語的四大能力烹制成一道道佳肴后,一口一口地喂進(jìn)學(xué)生的口中。老師的探究代替不了學(xué)生的探究。學(xué)習(xí)能力的培養(yǎng)主要是探究能力的培養(yǎng)。學(xué)會了探究,你才會在知識的大海中暢游。學(xué)會了探究,你才會成為終身學(xué)習(xí)者。英語學(xué)科的探究應(yīng)該表現(xiàn)在對某一特定詞匯在文中、在句中的用法和含義的探究,對長難句結(jié)構(gòu)和含義的探究,對相關(guān)知識關(guān)聯(lián)的探究,對作者意圖、主題大意的探究,當(dāng)然也包含對學(xué)法的探究。要探究知識,要有工具(詞典以及各種手冊等)的幫助,更要有團(tuán)隊的合作,還要有老師的幫助。團(tuán)隊合作可以讓你取他人之長補自己之短,還可以集思廣益,產(chǎn)生思想火花。常與老師溝通是可以使你更容易發(fā)現(xiàn)前進(jìn)的方向,少走彎路。
總而言之,英語學(xué)習(xí)需要同學(xué)們從聽說讀寫四大技能方面養(yǎng)成良好的學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣,堅持語言知識積累、精讀、泛讀、課內(nèi)課外作業(yè)和自主探究五個方面的腳踏實地地勤奮努力,就能夠比較輕松地完成高中英語的學(xué)習(xí),為自己將來的遠(yuǎn)大理想奠定堅實的外語基礎(chǔ)。

大家好,我今天演講的題目是“我的夢想”。
每個人都有夢想,而且很好,我也不例外。我有一個小小的夢想,當(dāng)我達(dá)到目標(biāo)時,我會實現(xiàn)更多的夢想。開始,我還是個嬰兒,一心想變得很強壯,像少林寺里的孩子一樣,武功高強。但是我覺得離開父母去很遠(yuǎn)的地方練武,辛苦,有點舍不得。小時候,我有一個夢想,我希望我有錢。大人問:小姑娘,有了錢你打算怎么辦?我要去買泡泡糖"如果你有很多錢?
我打算買很多泡泡糖。"如果你有錢花的話?我會買泡泡糖工廠。"天真的童年我們的確有一顆善良的心,幸福和快樂是同一首曲子。
慢慢進(jìn)入小學(xué),課程越來越深,知識越來越多。會感受到壓力,F(xiàn)在我有一個夢想。我希望我沒有;我每天沒有很多作業(yè)要做。玩的有點剝奪,而我們40%的日子都禁錮在教室里,很多時間都在學(xué)習(xí)。但是在學(xué)習(xí)面前,是一種模糊的知識。俗話說,一種罕見的困惑。對事物的理解,從封建主義到資本主義,越大越覺得自己的觀點是正確的。每天放學(xué)回家后忙了一天一夜的課,他又困又累,吃不到深夜吃的'食物。這樣的生活很單調(diào),可能有時候會想念我的很多小學(xué)同學(xué),有時候會帶著一節(jié)課或者一副朦朧的睡相。討厭死板的校服,我從來不到處穿。周六,周日;時間很短,孩子很想磨煉,慢慢了解生活;太難了,努力吧,夢想好了,我會努力讓每個人都生活起來,早起晚睡,把握住自己,不再松懈。我也想為他們的夢想而奮斗。
我的演講結(jié)束了,謝謝!

Students, guests , teachers and Honorable Judges
Good morning !
my great pleasure to share my dream with you today.When I was a child, I wanted to be a teacher. My father was a teacher, and he taught me a lot. I worshiped him very much. On my tenth birthday, he asked me,“What do you want to be when you grow up?”I answered proudly,“I want to be a teacher like you!”O(jiān)n hearing this, my father was very happy and said to me, “Work hard and your dream will come true.” Not long ago, one of my primary school teachers was ill. She wanted me to take her place for two weeks. I was glad but nervous. My father said to me,“This is a good chance. Seize it! I wish you success!” When I came into the classroom, the children were very happy.
I introduced myself to them. Soon, I got on well with them. They all liked me and I loved them. With my father and headmaster's help, I did the work very well. Now, I often miss those lovely children. That experience had made me even more interested in being a teacher in the future.

Miss Qin is my favorite teacher. She teaches us Chinese. She is lovely lady in her thirty-two years old. Her warm smile and black long hair are her symbols.
My classmates like her very much, because she is always kind to us. In my view, she is a wise teacher. She tells us many stories to us.
It seems she knows everything. Besides, she writes good articles. She tells us if we want to write good articles, we should read books as much as we can. She always cares much about us.
I think this is important for a good teacher.
英語演講稿10
the present society is a world of dazzling money and dwindling human feeling contacts. most people hold a snobbish attitude. they only make friends with people of wealth and of high social status. just as zhen shiyen said in his expounding of the song “all good things must end” in a dream of the red mansions “while men with gold and silver by the chest, turn beggars scorned by all and dispossessed”.frankly speaking, however, if we regard money the first thing in whichever one of the three kinds of loves, it will depreciate and even become worthless.
love can not pretend, nor can it tolerate too much selfish motives. it is reported that an old man in jiangsu province left his million yuan heritage to his young housekeeper instead of his own children, because his own children didn't take care of him while the young housekeeper accompanied him through his last lonely and helpless years.
love is easily perceivable and perceptible. flattery words may be cheatable, but true love and false feelings can easily be distinguished. if the people you love only know how to spend your money, you should be careful of them. everyone can help you spend your money if you give them the chance. never turn your love into the slave of money.
love should be selfless, and feelings should be sincere. we shouldn't judge our feelings according to the distance of the relationship. everyone treasures love and nobody can fool himself or the others. a chinese saying goes: real heroes yearn even more for true love, and great men cherish tender love for their children.

尊敬的評委,同學(xué)們:
下午好!
最近,在我們的社會中有一場激烈的辯論。大學(xué)生是一種罕見特權(quán)的受益者,他們在特殊的地方接受特殊的教育。但是,我們能夠面對挑戰(zhàn),戰(zhàn)勝一切困難嗎?我們能夠改善他人的生活嗎?我們能接受建設(shè)國家未來的責(zé)任嗎?
憤世嫉俗者說,大學(xué)生是嬌生慣養(yǎng)的失落的一代,他們會對最輕微的不適感到畏縮。但是憤世嫉俗者錯了。我看到的大學(xué)生都在急切地學(xué)習(xí)如何獨立生活。我們互相幫忙打掃宿舍,一起逛街砍價,兼職補充零花錢。
憤世嫉俗者說我們只關(guān)心成績;我們忽視了性格培養(yǎng)的需要。但憤世嫉俗者又錯了。我們彼此深切關(guān)懷,我們珍惜自由,我們珍惜正義,我們追求真理。上周,我的數(shù)千名同學(xué)進(jìn)行了血型測試,以便為患有血癌的兒童做出貢獻(xiàn)。
作為大學(xué)生,我們是處在人生關(guān)鍵轉(zhuǎn)折點的青少年。我們都面臨著一個根本性的選擇:犬儒主義還是信仰,每一個都將深刻地影響我們的.未來,甚至我們國家的未來。我相信我所有的同學(xué)。雖然我們?nèi)匀粵]有經(jīng)驗,甚至有點幼稚。我相信我們有勇氣和信念去迎接任何挑戰(zhàn),承擔(dān)我們的責(zé)任。我們正準(zhǔn)備承擔(dān)新的責(zé)任和任務(wù),并利用我們接受的教育使我們的世界變得更美好。我相信我們的未來。

common sense would be revolted if we engaged upon this process for petty reasons. congress has a lot to do: appropriations, tax reform, health insurance, campaign finance reform, housing, environmental protection, energy sufficiency, mass transportation. pettiness cannot be allowed to stand in the face of such overwhelming problems. so today we are not being petty. we are trying to be big, because the task we have before us is a big one.
this morning, in a discussion of the evidence, we were told that the evidence which purports to support the allegations of misuse of the cia by the president is thin. we're told that that evidence is insufficient. what that recital of the evidence this morning did not include is what the president did know on june the 23rd, 1972.
the president did know that it was republican money, that it was money from the committee for the re-election of the president, which was found in the possession of one of the burglars arrested on june the 17th. what the president did know on the 23rd of june was the prior activities of e. howard hunt, which included his participation in the break-in of daniel ellsberg's psychiatrist, which included howard hunt's participation in the dita beard itt affair, which included howard hunt's fabrication of cables designed to discredit the kennedy administration.
英語演講稿13
we know the nature of impeachment. we've been talking about it awhile now. it is chiefly designed for the president and his high ministers to somehow be called into account. it is designed to "bridle" the executive if he engages in excesses. "it is designed as a method of national inquest into the conduct of public men." the framers confided in the congress the power if need be, to remove the president in order to strike a delicate balance between a president swollen with power and grown tyrannical, and preservation of the independence of the executive.
the nature of impeachment: a narrowly channeled exception to the separation-of-powers maxim. the federal convention of 1787 said that. it limited impeachment to high crimes and misdemeanors and discounted and opposed the term "maladministration." "it is to be used only for great misdemeanors," so it was said in the north carolina ratification convention. and in the virginia ratification convention: "we do not trust our liberty to a particular branch. we need one branch to check the other."
"no one need be afraid" -- the north carolina ratification convention -- "no one need be afraid that officers who commit oppression will pass with immunity." "prosecutions of impeachments will seldom fail to agitate the passions of the whole community," said hamilton in the federalist papers, number 65. "we divide into parties more or less friendly or inimical to the accused." i do not mean political parties in that sense.
the drawing of political lines goes to the motivation behind impeachment; but impeachment must proceed within the confines of the constitutional term "high crime[s] and misdemeanors." of the impeachment process, it was woodrow wilson who said that "nothing short of the grossest offenses against the plain law of the land will suffice to give them speed and effectiveness. indignation so great as to overgrow party interest may secure a conviction; but nothing else can."

My home village is a small one. It’s in Yuxian county of Shanxi Province. Small as it is, it’s very beautiful.
There are many hills around my home village and they are more beautiful than some big mountains. In spring, we can fly kites which are made by ourselves on the top of the hills. The kites fly very high.In summer, the trees are green and the grass is green, too. It is green everywhere on the hills. There are so many wild apple trees on the hills. The wild apples are nice to eat. In autumn, the corns under and around the hills are ripe. So we eat them almost every day. In winter, when it snows, all the ground is covered with snow. We can play with snow and sometimes we eat the clean snow with sugar. In my hometown the sky is blue, the air is clean, the water is sweet and the people are very friendly. I love my hometown!

a common concept among some people is that opportunities are few. they always complain that opportunities never occur to them. they only admire those people who make a hit or succeed by seizing some opportunities, and always wonder why they are never given a good opportunity to show their talent.
another common notion is that there are opportunities everywhere. opportunity may occur to anybody at any time and under any circumstances as long as he/she keeps ma-ki-ng constant efforts. as a student, you can get to the top through your hard work. as a businessman, you can succeed through accurate calculation and with a complete certainty that you can make a profit.
in my opinion, opportunity favors only those who keep trying and who are ready for it. as the saying goes "god helps those who help themselves", so no matter whether there's opportunity or not, what we should do is to study, to learn and become learned people, only in this way can you seize your opportunity when it occurs. so never say there's no opportunity again, opportunities are around us.
