英语语调包括停顿、重音、升降、快慢等要素，语调训练是英语演讲时口语表达的重点和难点。演讲时必须加强这方面的训练。抑扬语调大体分为四种，即平直调、高升调、曲折调、降抑调。下面给大家分享一些关于英语课前中小学演讲作文5篇，供大家参考。
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks， red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will， a quality of the imagination， a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life。
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity， of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease。 This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20。 Nobody grows old merely by a number of years。 We grow old by deserting our ideals。
Years may wrinkle the skin， but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul。 Worry， fear， self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust。
Whether 60 or 16， there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder， the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living。 In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station： so long as it receives messages of beauty， hope， cheer， courage and power from men and from the Infinite， so long are you young。
When the aerials are down， and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism， then you are grown old， even at 20， but as long as your aerials are up， to catch waves of optimism， there is hope you may die young at 80。
Distinguished judges， teachers， dear friends：
Hello， everybody! My name is， I e from。 Today， I am very glad to stand here and share with you my most sincere speech‘Flying youth， master our future!’
Life is a process of growing up。 Saying goodbye to childhood， we step into another important time of life‘the youth’ver， who can really say what the youth is ? A period of time? A belief? An attitude to life? Or anything else? We don’t know。
A famous poet said ‘ youth is a lovely song ，where nothing is impossible ; youth is a meaningful book， you’ll be never bored of it ;youth is a rapid river ，it keeps on flowing day and night ;youth is a cup of tea ，it shows you different kinds of tastes in your life。 ’
As youth is so precious， of course， we must treasure it ’t let the limited time pass by， leaving nothing of significance to our future。 Actually， youth has a lot to do with our future。 It’s necessary for us to prepare ourselves well for the future to e。 So， what should we do? Here ，I’ll point out some tips to help equip ourselves
First of all， recognize the direction of your future。 In other word， think of what you’d like to be some day。 A teacher ? A doctor ? A writer? Don’t afraid of thinking big and great e you are young ， you can dream of doing anything and being anyone in the future
What’s more ， never ignore the power of knowledge。 Read more books and travel around。 For one thing， it can increase your knowledge， for another， it’ll broaden your horizon。
Last but not the least ， stick to your dream。 It easier said than done。 After all， future is not all roses。 So， we should have enough courage and determination to overe all the difficulties。
I firmly believe one sentence that‘If you think you can， of course you can!’Just believe we can make it! Keep on walking towards our dream。 Flying youth ，master our future。 From today， from now on ，from Duping Middle School ! Ready ?
That’s all。 Thank you so much for your attention !
Honorable Judges, fellow students:
Good afternoon!
Recently, there is a heated debate in our society. The college students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education at extraordinary places. But will we be able to face the challenge and support ourselves against all odds? Will we be able to better the lives of others? Will we be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of our country?
The cynics say the college students are the pampered lost generation, which would cringe at the slightest discomfort. But the cynics are wrong. The college students I see are eagerly learning about how to live independently. We help each other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take part time jobs to supplement our pocket money.
The cynics say we care for nothing other than grades; and we neglect the need for character cultivation. But again, the cynics are wrong. We care deeply for each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth.
Last week, thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer.
As college students, we are adolescents at the critical turning point in our lives. We all face a fundamental choice: cynicism or faith, each will profoundly impact our future, or even the future of our country. I believe in all my fellow classmates. Though we are still inexperienced and even a little bit childish.
I believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challenge and take on our responsibilities. We are preparing to assume new responsibilities and tasks, and to use the education we have received to make our world a better place. I believe in our future.
Ladies and Gentlemen：
Today I’m glad that I’m standing here talking to you all. As the title given， I am going to talk you about a way of treating people and things in life. My speech here basically includes 2 parts， in the former of which I‘ll describe you the present occasion we teenagers are in， as well as the reason behind. Then it’s about the several opinions of mine toward the case above.
Undoubtedly， every one of us has stepped into adolescence， a period of time where the most exciting and mysterious changes take place. Boys， apparently become more ambitious. Girls， in some ways， start to dream and become more sensitive about the world. All in all， as if our emotions become much stronger， somehow we’re always trapped in circles and struggling against something that can’t be changed anyway. We complain about how fragile our friendship is， how little people know about us， how unfair the life is，etc. It seems that every time we fail， we blame it to the tough conditions we’re in， while never notice a problem inside ourselves， that we’re never satisfied.
Let’s just imagine that there was an old lady. What she sees was her neighbors’ being mean again while not how kind they were when they took care of her sick body. What she saw was her dog’s annoying barking while not how much loyalty it had shown.What she saw was always so depressing that it finally turned her into an unpleasant person. Think about how our life would be if we stand in her shoe.
Why don’t we focus our attention on how much we’ve already got in stead? You know it’s really simple to do as there’s a tremendous amount of examples. Like the popular Jetpack Joy Ride on your Iphone， you can enjoy it whenever you like， whereas in some poor area people don’t even know such thing as Iphone.
Actually we should be thankful about the richness we’ve got， thankful that with each sunrise taking place we don’t need to starve to call it a day， thankful that the people we love are still in health， that we still got much to hold on. As a saying on website，” The world is tough， but I’m tougher.” What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
Every day is a gift from life， all we need is to accept it， cherish the lessons life has taught us， so as to achieve our goal with high spirit. In this way， someday when we leave the world， we leave no regrets.
Thank you for listening.
good evening ，ladies and gentlemen：
thank you very much for choosing to e in such a cold night。today my topic is about choice and process。a research shows that a man has to make 73 choices one day。with so many choices one day， people easily get so confused and afraid of making wrong choice that they hesitate and finally miss the true part of life。 in my opinion， the following part is of much more importance than the choice。 there is no absolute right or wrong choice but wonderful or boring life， which the process makes the difference。
life is a box of chocolate，you never know what you will get。 forrest gump made no decision by and for himself but he acplished great success with his strong will in the process。 the process is not the road itself but the attitudes and feelings ，the caution， courage and persistance we have as we encounter new experience and unexpected obstacles。 take myself as an example， i changed my major when i became a postgraduate。 after the choice，days have been harsh for me。i cannot understand the new lessons at all。 for they are closely related to mathmatics which i learned nothing about before。 however wuth the belief that this is the great chance for me to experience new ideas and challenge myself，i persisted。 i asked for help from every channel and reorgonized my life。 gradually i could understand some parts and even found maths interesting。moreover， i learned to act instead of plaining。 in retrospect，the choice left no trace in my mind but the happiness and bitterness of the past four months bees an unforgetable experience in my life。
no matter what the choice is， enjoy the process。 in the process， your potential will be inspired and new discoveries，improvement and progress will e to you。 these are the most beautiful sceneries and only on the way can you see it。these make your life colorful。
there is no need and i donnot want to judge whether it right or wrong for me to be here，but i congratulate to myself for i gain and enjoy this fantastic experience。 so my dear friends，never worry about your choice and enjoy the process。 i am sure you will get something new and intersting tonight after you chose to e here。
thank you!
