my topic is i love you, china.since the day i was born, i began to have a proud name—chinese. since the day
i began to talk, the most beautiful sentence ive ever learnt has been i love you,
china!
i love you, china, and im so proud of being a chinese. im proud that ive got the
beautiful yellow skin, black eyes and black hair. im also proud that i speak the most
beautiful language in the world—chinese.i love you, china, for i can feel the deep love you give me every day, every minute.
last year, i got an opportunity to visit the united states of america. during my
staying there, my fathers boss once invited my family to dinner. while at , he looked
at me and asked: little boy, how long have you been in america? about a month, i
answered, how lucky you are! he said, if you were living in china, how could you learn
such perfect english? i smiled and told him proudly that all the students in china
are able to learn english at school. i saw his surprised eyes and said to myself,
im proud of you, china
演讲稿三：初中英语1分钟演讲稿 students, guests , teachers and honorable judges my great pleasure to share my dream with you today.i have kept the dream in my
mind for so long that whoever in the sun is able to live a happy life for ever. i
think this dream is deeply rooted in the future. as we can see, we are now not far
away from violence, poverty, diseases, environmental pollution and even wars. most
of people are in need of what they have never enjoyed. however, i still can stick
to my innermost dream, as i still can see the bright lights in our future. i believe,
there will be a day when those from the rich counties演讲稿四：初中英语1分钟演讲稿 today a boy named ** is standing here and talking about the near future of the
earth.most people believe that we are living on a beautiful and vital palent. because
we can find everything we need from everywhere on th earth.but some of us who study
the earth are very surprised that th earth is going to die much sooner than before.it
means th earth will be like the mars in a few years.and then most animals will be
exterminated ,and the organism called human may not be seen on the earth any more.is
that a lie or a joke?
no,its 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.im afriad we do something wrong over
and over again. so we have less and less time to redress the balance of nature.luckily,
its 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 fashionable.in fact when we protect the earth , we are protecting
ourselves.thanks for listening to me.篇二：英语演讲稿1分钟亲爱的同学们：

51.英语演讲稿：说不放弃say no to give up!~
good afternoon, my dear teachers and friends, suppose you are in a dark cave alone now. maybe you can not find any hope, you
are trembling and frightened. what will you do? what will you say? will you give up?
(……) no we should not give up. we should try our best to find hope. so today, i
am honored to stand here to share my opinion with you---- let‘s say no to give up.what about you? when meeting any difficulty, you can not even see any hope at
that moment, will you give up? no, let‘s say no to give up. thank you!
下午好，我亲爱的老师和朋友，假设你是在黑暗的洞穴单独现在。也许你找不到任何希望，你是颤抖和害怕。你会做什
么?你说什么?你会放弃? ( ... ... )没有我们不应该放弃。我们应该尽力去寻找希望。因此，
今天，我很荣幸能站在这里，分享我的意见与你----让我们说不放弃。即使是现在我仍然可以看到一个非常特别的图片在我的脑海现在。我参加800米比赛。
老实说，这不是第一次努力。我觉得活力和自信。我们都推到终点。一分钟，两分钟， ...
可怕! ?一个运动员是一半圈在我前面。如此疲惫和担心我，我的脚，也没有任何进一步。 ―
放弃? ‖低声来自内心的深处。与此同时，我能感觉到的东西光辉。我的朋友，甚至我的爸
爸妈妈看，并大声呼喊，以便， ―加油!永不放弃! ―奇怪的是，我的身体继续前进。反正
我要完成比赛。和我做了它。你呢?当次会议上的任何困难，你甚至看不到任何希望在这个时候，你会放弃?不，让我
们说不放弃。
谢谢您!
52.英语演讲稿：我最喜欢的季节 my favourite season
my favourite season is spring. everything is very lively in the spring. the flowers are blooming, the trees are
growing and the grass is turning green. i like lying on the grass and enjoy the sun
shine in the park in the spring. we also can fly a kite, have a picnic, go on a trip
or climb the mountain, but i don‘t like to do those things, because they will make
me feel tired. some people like to go to the countryside, however i don‘t think it
is a good place to go for a rest. i don‘t like the other season, because they are
not very warm: summer is too hot, winter is too cold. while autumn is cool, it isn
‘t very beautiful.
last year, i went to the slender west lake in yang zhou. first we took a boat
to travel down the lake, we saw the qiong flowers on the bank, and they were very
beautiful. then we visited the five kiosks bridge, there were five kiosks on the bridge, and every kiosk has
a long history. we sit in the kiosk and took some photos. last we went to the fishing
platform. why do people call it ?fishing platform‘? because the emperor called ?qian
long‘ in qing dynasty visited it. we also fished in it. we had a good time in yang
zhou.
anyway, my favourite season is spring. 我最喜欢的季节
我最喜欢的季节是春季。一切都非常活跃的春天。盛开的鲜花，越来越多的树木和草返青。我喜欢躺在草地上，
享受阳光在公园里的春天。我们还可以放风筝，有野餐，去旅行或攀登高山，但我不喜欢做
这些事情，因为他们将让我感到疲倦。有些人喜欢到农村，但是我不认为这是一个很好的地
方去休息。我不喜欢其他季节，因为它们不是很温暖：夏天太热，冬天太冷。虽然秋季凉爽，
这不是很漂亮。
去年，我去了瘦西湖在杨州。首先，我们采取了船前往下湖，我们看到了琼鲜花的银行，
他们非常漂亮。然后，我们参观了五亭桥，有五亭大桥上，每站有很长的历史。我们坐在亭
和采取了一些照片。上次我们去钓鱼平台。为什么人们称之为钓鱼平台 ?由于皇帝所谓钱珑
清代访问它。我们还捕捞了。我们有一个很好的时间，杨洲。 无论如何，我最喜欢的季节是春季。

54.关于友谊的英语演讲稿ladies and gentlemen:
today i want to talk with you.yes,just talking,not stiff speaking. my topic is ―first love‖.many of us have vision it in high school.the special
feeling in the memory of the three years is always pure and beautiful. you may have asked what the ―first love‖is on earth?shakespare once said―
the first love is a little stupid and a little curious.‖ but in my opinion, it means
you have grown up!known to care for others, and this feeling, no matter what the result
is ,must be a life-long memorable event. first love can‘t be called ture love.boys and girls admire each other and cause
a special feeling.a lot of people are called it ―puppy love‖. this is actually an
embarrassment word, because it is unscientific. beyond reproach, first love in life
is like the first blooming flower or a new-born morning sun. in all fairness, who
never had a beautiful memory of first love in a young age? ―like‖ can never be called ―love‖. there is a great difference between them.
love is a sense of responsibility but like is a kind of feeling. i have received a message from one of my good friend.she said: ―if a is 1,b is
2.c is 3,and so on……
then l+o+v+e=54,
but f+r+i+e+n+d+s+h+i+p=108!so friendship is twice stronger than love!‖ that‘s all .thanks!女士们，先生们：
今天，我想谈you.yes ，只是说话，而不是激烈的发言。 我的主题是―第一次爱‖ 。我们中的许多人具有远见高school.the在特殊的感情的记
忆中的三年内，始终是纯洁和美丽。您可能想知道的―初恋‖是地球上? shakespare曾经说过： ―第一次爱有点愚蠢和有
点好奇。 ‖但在我看来，这意味着你已经长大了!知道照顾别人，这种感觉，无论其结果是，
必须是一个终身难忘的事件。初恋不能称为自然love.boys和女孩欣赏对方，造成特别feeling.a很多人都称它是―
早恋‖ 。这实际上是一个尴尬一词，因为它是不科学的。无可非议，初恋的生活就像是盛开
的花头或新出生的早晨的太阳。平心而论，谁没有一个美丽的记忆，初恋的年纪?―力克‖不能被称为―爱‖ 。有很大的差异。爱是一种责任，但喜欢是一种感觉。我已经收到了我的一个很好的friend.she说： ―如果是1 ， b是2.c是3 ，等等... ...
则l + ? + v键+ e会= 54 ，
但f + r的+一+ é +的n + d +可语+ h +的一+ p值108 ! 因此，友谊的两倍强于爱! ―这一切。谢谢!
55.保护环境的英文演讲稿its my great honor to be invited here to give a speech on environment.as we all

we should protect our environment .in fact ,we can do many things to improve environment such as planting trees,
篇二：英语老师让班里每一个进行一个一分钟的小演讲
英语老师让班里每一个进行一个一分钟的小演讲
要短而精的
还要记期末成绩
不敢怠慢 于是就找了些
播下一粒种子
1.Be Polite 有礼貌
Everyone should be polite. Polite people show good manners. Moreover ,they are popular. On the other hand, rude people are looked down upon. Rudeness shows poor education. Therefore, why not be polite? A simple “Please,” “Thank you,” or “You are welcome,” can make a big difference.
2． Rome Wasn’t Built in a Day 聚沙成塔
Learning English is like building a house. Laying a strong foundation(n.地基 ) is the first and most important step. In other words, you should read and speak English every day. Memorizing new words and phrases in also helpful. Like building a house, learning English takes some time. So don’t be impatient(不耐烦的). Remember, “Rome wasn’t built in a day”.
3.Just Do It 马上去做
Many people put off until tomorrow what they can do today. They always look for excuses to postpone（拖延）doing something .In the end, it never gets done. If we leave things undone, we will eventually（最后） worry. This will then cause unnecessary stress（压力0. Therefore, if you have this bad habit, it’s best to get rid of it and do things as soon as possible.
4.A Balanced Diet 均衡饮食
Some people eat to live, but there are others who live to eat. To live a long and healthy life, we must learn to have a balanced diet. A balanced diet simply means a bit of everything. A diet which includes meat, fish, vegetables and fruit is, of course, ideal. If you watch your diet, then you won’t have to suffer the pain of going on a diet.
5.Be thoughtful 体谅人
Being thoughtful(体谅人)simply means thinking of others before yourself. What you say or do will have an effect on others. So it is important that you think before you say or do anything. In this way, you can avoid hunting other’s feelings. Moreover, a thoughtless act or remark can spoil a perfect relationship.
Remember these rules. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything. Likewise, if you think what you do will hurt others, don’t do it. After all, what goes around comes around.(种什么因，得什么果)。
6． Health Comes First 健康第一
Smoking is bad in that it is harmful to one’s health. In spite of the fact that doctors have even warned that it causes canner, people still keep on smoking.
In some western countries, however, people are beginning to kick the bad habit. They realize that health should come first. To help them quit
smoking, there are laws against cigarette advertising and smoking in public places. This is praiseworthy except that western countries are now selling cigarettes in the East in greater numbers than ever. That they are doing this is immoral, don’t you think?
7.Don’t Rely on Luck运气不可靠
Passing exams is every student’s dream. Failing them is their nightmare. So, to realize their dreams, many students try anything. They even go to fortune tellers, buy lucky charms and follow old customes.
In Korea(朝鲜)，many students bury something personal in the university they want to enter. They believe that these things will act as magnets and “pull” them into the university. Whether it works or not, nobody really knows. At least it does ease the students’ minds about passing exams. Remember, though, you can’t always rely on luck. There is no substitute for hard work.
8.A Sense of Security 安全感
Some people take the view that something in life we have to take chances in order to make progress. I admire such people. It certainly takes courage to take risks. Maybe it’s due to my upbringing, but I am the type who likes to play it safe.
People like me believe in the saying, “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Conservative as it may be, it keeps me out of trouble. I must confess, however, that such a lifestyle may, at times, be boring.
Admittedly, my life is not half as colorful or exciting as other people’s, but at least it gives me a sense of security.
篇三：一分钟英语演讲
My Favorite Color 我最喜欢的颜色
Blue has always been my favorite color, and I think it will always continue to be so.
I have several reasons for liking this color best. First, it is a very soothing color and makes people happy. How do people feel when they wake up to day when the sky is a dirty grey? Sad and gloomy. But when the sky is a deep blue, good cheer and joy enters our hearts.
Another reason why I am most partial to blue is that it is the color of oceans and rivers and lakes on a sunny day. Whenever I go swimming, I feel as though I were reborn.
In my estimation, blue is a very refined a noble color. I have several suits of clothes of different colors, but somehow blue seems to be most becoming to me. At the same time, all my friends say that I tend to look slim and taller whenever I’m dressed in blue.
I have also heard that in English, the term “true blue” means to be faithful. As I have a great respect for the quality of faithfulness, this is one more reason for my liking blue so much.
蓝色一直是我最喜欢的颜色，而且我认为一直都会是这样。
我有几个最喜欢这种颜色的理由。第一，它是一种使人平和、快乐的颜色。当人们睡醒时，看到一个灰暗的天空，他们会感觉如何？沮丧忧郁。但是当天空是深蓝色时，喜悦和快乐就进入我们心中。
我偏爱蓝色的另一个理由，是因为它是海洋、河流、湖泊在晴朗日子时的颜色。每当我去游泳，我觉得我好像重生了。
我认为，蓝色是一种优雅、高贵的颜色，我有几套不同颜色的衣服，但是不知怎么，蓝色似乎是适合我。同时，我的朋友都说，每当我穿蓝色的衣服时，似乎看起来更修长、更高佻。 我也听说过英文里有个名词，“不褪色的蓝”，意思是忠实的，因为我很崇尚忠实这种品德，这又是我这么喜欢蓝色的另一个理由了。
gloomy a.忧郁的
partial a.偏爱的
refined a.优雅的
becoming a.合适的
The Generation Gap 论代沟
I remember that when I was in my teens, I used to rebel at many of the “do’s” and “don’ts” my parents used to dictate to me. For example, when I kept on playing jazz records on the record player, my father used to condemn such music as sheer noise and replace them with disks of classical music that I always considered extremely dull.
My mom and dad were also very particular about the friends I went out with, always quoting the maxim the “one rotten apple could ruin a whole barrel of apples.” When I insisted that I sleep with my pet dog Peppy, they immediately said NO because they thought that I would be bitten by fleas.
These are just a few examples of many of the things that I thought my parents were ueasonable about. Today, however, I am also the father of a boy of fifteen, and I find that I, too, am pressuring my son with a lot of rules and regulations that he seems to find hard to swallow. The other day, I noticed that my son’s hair was altogether too long, so I told him to go to the barber’s and get it trimmed short. Ordinarily, he is fairly obedient, but this time he put his foot down.
“What’s wrong with long hair?” he said. “All my buddies have long hair. And besides, it’s my own hair, isn’t it? I don’t think you have the authority to order me to cut it short, even if you’re my father!”
When I was a boy, if I had spoken with such impertinence to my father, I know that he would have given me a good thrashing. But I suddenly realized that we are now living in a more liberal world, and that my son’s insistence on wearing his hair long was merely an instance of the generation gap that existed between us. So I relented, and so he still wears his hair long.
论代沟
记得我十几岁时，我总是反抗父母指定我做及不要我做的许多事。例如，当我用唱机听爵士唱片时，父亲总指责这种音乐只是噪音，而换上我一直认为是最沉闷的古典音乐唱片。 我爸爸妈妈对和我一起出去的朋友也很挑剔，并常引用格言说：“一颗老鼠屎坏了一锅粥。”当我坚持要和我的小狗佩比一起睡，他们马上说“不行”，因为他们认为我会被跳蚤给咬了。 这些只是我认为父母许多不合理的事中的一个例子。然而，今天我也是个十五岁小孩的父亲。我发现自己也用一大堆我儿子似乎觉得难以忍受的规定来压迫他。前几天，我注意到我儿子的头发实在太长了，所以便叫他到理发店去修短。平常他是很听话的，但这次他坚持。 “长头发有什么不对？”他说，“我所有的朋友都留长头发，况且，这是我自己的头发，不是吗？我认为你没权力命令我把它剪短，即使你是我父亲。”
小时候，如果我对父亲讲话这么无礼，我知道会招来一顿好打。但是我突然了解到我们现在是生活在一个更自由的世界。我儿子坚持留长发，只是存在于我们之间的代沟的一例。因此我态度变温和了，也因此他现在还留着长发。

jazz n.爵士乐

The Person I Admire Most 我最敬佩的人 There are quite a few people that I admire greatly, but the one that comes first on my list is Abraham Lincoln, the great American emancipator. Although he was born poor, he worked hard and honestly, and eventually became President of the
A part from the many fine qualities that Lincoln had, I admire him most because he dared to do what he thought was right at a time when his beliefs were very unpopular with many people. He also had infinite patience and tolerance for those who disagreed with him, and bore their discourtesy toward him with admirable restraint. He also had the manliness to forgive his opponents. When the Civil War ended, he treated his erstwhile enemies with great generosity. The words which are carved on the walls of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. were taken from his famous Second Inaugural Address and begin with he phrases which I shall never forget: “With malice toward none, with charity for all…”
我最敬佩的人
我敬佩的人有很多，但是我表上列的第一个是亚伯拉罕.林肯，美国伟大的解放者。虽然他生下来就很穷，他努力、诚实地工作，终于成为美国总统。
除去林肯的许多优良品德不谈，他最令我钦佩的原因是，只要他认为是对的，即使他的信念还未普遍为人接受，他就敢去做。他对那些不赞同他的人，有着无比的耐心和宽容，克制自己忍受他们对他的无礼，令人敬佩。他也有男性气概原谅他的反对者。内战结束后，他对待以前的敌人无比宽大。刻在华盛顿特区林肯纪念堂上的几句话，是从他著名的第二次就职演说是摘录出来的。开头的几句话，我永远不会忘记：“不要对任何人怀有恶意，要博爱世人……。”
emancipator n.解放者
discourtesy n.无礼貌
restraint n.（感情之）抑制
manliness n.男子气概
opponent n.对手；反对者
erstwhile a.以前的

Environmental Protection 环境保护
I was born in the countryside near Kaohsiung and I came up to Taipei when I was still a lad of twelve. Seven years have elapsed since then, and just recently, I returned to my home town for the very first time since I had left it. Would you like to know just how I felt when I set eyes again on the place that I had always remembered as being a real Shangrila? The image that I had so carefully cherished was dashed to the winds. Instead, I was struck by the sharp realization that civilization and modern industry were destroying our world. The beautiful hills that were formerly covered with trees were now bald. All the trees must have been chopped down for lumber that went into the building of cheap apartment houses that were now ubiquitous all over the town. The crystal-clear river where I had enjoyed fishing and swimming when I was a lad was now a filthy ditch into which chemical factories were dumpling all their
I could go on describing the horrible changes that my hometown had undergone, but time is limited. So I wish to say in conclusion that the time has come for the introduction of strict measures to protect our environment.
环境保护
我出生于高雄附近的乡下，当我才十二岁时，就搬来台北。七年过去了，就在最近，我回到睽违已久的家乡。你想知道，当我看到这个我总记得是真正香格里拉的地方时，内心的感受吗？我小心珍爱的形象都在风中破灭了。代之而起的是，我痛心地了解到文明和现代工业正在毁灭我们的世界。
原本覆盖着树木的美丽山丘现在已经秃了。所有的树木一定被砍下作为木材，来建筑镇上到处都是的便宜公寓。那条我少年时候喜欢钓鱼和游泳、水晶般清澈的河流，现在变成化学工厂倾倒垃圾的臭水沟。
我可以继续不断地描述我故乡遭受的可怕改变，但时间有限。所以最后我想说的就是，用严厉措施来保护环境的时候已经到了。
elapse v. （时间）溜走；（光阴）逝去
Shangrila n. 香格里拉（人间的理想乐园）
cherish v. 珍视，珍爱
civilization n. 文明
ubiquitous a. 无所不在的

Small Kindness 平凡的善行
Small kindnesses are those simple deeds of goodness that we perform in our daily life, not merely to our friends and kin, but also to complete strangers, not for the sake of receiving some remuneration in return, but sheerly out of a spirit of generosity and unselfish consideration for the welfare of others.
When we read the daily newspapers, we are frequently apprised of the Big Kindnesses performed by well-to-do philanthropists who donate large sums of money for the establishment of schools, libraries, free hospitals for the poor, orphanages, and the like. These, of course, are laudable acts of charity that deserve wide public acclaim. But in my estimation, those many minor acts of kindness performed daily ion assorted situations by public-minded citizens who receive no recognition or plaudits from the mass media are equally commendable.
I think that in the eyes of the Almighty, the good-hearted white-collar worker who gives up his seat on a crowded commuter train to someone frail, aged or crippled, even though he himself is extremely tried after his day’s work, is just as deserving of praise, or maybe even more so, than the billionaire philanthropist who has given away a million dollars for the establishment of a
new old people’s home.
In the large cities of any country, where the general tendency of the people is “to look out only for one’s own interests”, the atmosphere is cold and miserable for those unable to keep up with the rapid pace of competition. Let us all try remedy the situation by launching a personal campaign to perform a small kindness each day, no matter how inconsequential it may seem, so that our society will be a much better place to live in.
平凡的善行
平凡的善行就是一些我们在日常生活当中所做的、简单的好事。不只对我们的亲友，结全然陌生的人也一样；不是为了报酬，完全是出自一种为他人福祉的慷慨、无私的精神。
我们每天看报，常得知富有的慈善家所作“伟大的善行”。他们捐很多的钱盖学校、图书馆、免费为穷人看病的医院、孤儿院等等。当然这 值得民众赞美的慈善行为。但我认为，那些没受到大众传播媒介褒奖或赞扬、具有服务大众热忱的市民所作较小的善行，一样值得赞赏。 我认为在上帝眼中，一个好心的白领阶级，即使在工作一天后极度疲惫，在挤满通勤者的火车上让位给老弱或残障者，也一样值得赞美，甚至比那些捐一百万元建造一座新的老人院的亿万慈善家更值得表扬。
在任何国家的大城市，居民的共同倾向就是“自扫门前雪”。对于那些无法赶上这种快速竞争步调的人，气氛是冷默无情的。让我们发起个人运动，试着来修正这促情形。无论事情多么微不足道，每天是行一善，那么我们的社会将会更适于居住。
remuneration n. 报酬
philanthropist n. 慈善家
orphanage n. 孤儿院
laudable a. 值得赞美的
acclaim n. 称赞，喝采
plaudit n. 赞扬
commendable a. 值得称赞的
commuter n. 通勤者
crippled a. 残废的
atmosphere n. 气氛
inconsequential a. 不重要的
