演讲之前感到些许紧张是自然的，这表明你渴望把事情做好。不过，过度紧张会适得其反。 英语演讲其实和其他语言的演讲没有很大的区别，最主要的都是打动听众，下面给大家分享的是中小学英语课前演讲稿5篇，欢迎大家参考。
ladies and gentlemen， boys and girls，
i am chinese. i am proud of being a chinese with five thousand years of civilization behind. i‘ve learned about the four great inventions made by our forefathers. i‘ve learned about the great wall and the yangtze river. i‘ve learned about zhang heng and i‘ve learned about zheng says the yellow river civilization has vanished?i know that my ancestors have made miracles on this fertile land and we‘re still making miracles. who can ignore the fact that we have established ourselves as a great state in the world， that we have devised our own nuclear weapons， that we have successfully sent our satellites into space， and that our gnp ranks no. 7 in the world? we have experienced the plunders by other nations， and we have experienced the war. yet， based on such ruins， there still stands our nation——china， unyielding and unconquerable!
i once came across an american tourist. she said，——china has a history of five thousand years， but the us only has a history of 200 years. five thousand years ago， china took the lead in the world， and now it is the us that is leading.‖ my heart was deeply touched by these words. it is true that we‘re still a developing nation， but it doesn‘t mean that we can despise ourselves. we have such a long-standing history， we have such abundant resources， we have such intelligent and diligent people， and we have enough to be proud of. we have reasons to say proudly： we are sure to take the lead in the world in the future again， for our problems are big， but our ambition is even bigger， our challenges are great， but our will is even greater.
i am chinese. i have inherited black hair and black eyes. i have inherited the virtues of my ancestors. i have also taken over responsibility. i am sure， that wherever i go， whatever i do， i shall never forget that i am chinese!
Nothing is difficult if you put your heart on it。 Nothing is easy if you don’t try your best。
We often hear people say， “Never give up。” This can be encouraging words and words of determination。 A person who believes in them will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails。 In my opinion， the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have。 Therefore， I believe that we should never give up。
One reason is that if we give up too easily， we will rarely achieve anything。 It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new， so we should not feel discouraged and should try again。 Besides， if we always give up when we fail， we will not be able to develop new skills and grow as people。 Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort。 If we do not try again， the lesson we have learned is wasted。 Finally， we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals， we develop confidence， and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives。
Probably the greatest example of persistence is Abraham Lincoln。 Born into poverty， Lincoln was faced with defeat throughout his life。 He lost eight elections， twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown。
He could have quit many times - but he didn't and because he didn't quit， he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of our country。
Lincoln was a champion and he never gave up。
In short， it is important that we don’t give up when working for our goals。 Whether we succeed in the end or not， we will learn something， and what we learn will help us to bee better， more confident people。 Furthermore， if we give up， we have no chance of attaining our goals， but if we keep trying， there is always a chance that we will succeed one day。Thank you very much!
as we know， you have to learn how to fly much more independently instead of under your parents’ considerate protection when you get into college， which also means you will e across enormous questions that should be solved by yourself。 from my point of view， those main problems can fall into three parts。
first of all， the plicated relationship。 for one thing， you have to know how cultural differences function in your relationship and respect them。 in addition， college students spend less time studying together owing to different courses’ choosing， which requires us to devote more energy to building relationship。 for the other thing， it is also vital to municate with your parents often by using mobile phones or other tools。
secondly， the temptations。 the college serves us a more relaxed environment mixed with other temptations such as the internet， alcohols and so on。 what’s more， the college teachers won’t pel you to study like before， you doze off or play cell phone in class， and you flee up the morning class because you get up too late。 such too frequent behaviors will cripple your passion and enthusiasm towards life， so it is essential for us to resist these temptations and insist pursuing our own goals。
thirdly， the balance between study and work。 most of us will choose to take a part time job to earn the extra money or just to exercise ourselves。 but it is significant to keep a relatively balanced relationship between them since i always regard the study as our main task， so my principle is adjusting work to follow the schedule of study。
in conclusion， whatever issues we meet or miseries we suffer from， confront the hash reality head on， what we can do is remembering the past， living in the present and looking forward to the future。
Honourable judges， ladies and gentlemen，
Good afternoon! Today I would like to talk about the importance of keeping optimistic。 When we encounter difficulties in life， we notice that some of us choose to bury their heads in the sand。 Unfortunately， however， this attitude will do you no good， because if you will have no courage even to face them， how can you conquer them? Thus， be optimistic， ladies and gentlemen， as it can give you confidence and help you see yourself through the hard times， just as Winston Churchill once said， “An optimist sees an opportunity in every calamity; a pessimist sees a calamity in every opportunity。”
Ladies and Gentlemen， keeping optimistic， you will be able to realize， in spite of some hardship， there’s always hope waiting for you， which will lead you to the ultimate success。 Historically as well as currently， there are too many optimists of this kind to enumerate。 You see， Thomas Edison is optimistic; if not， the light of hope in his heart could not illuminate the whole world。 Alfred Nobel is optimistic; if not， the explosives and the prestigious Nobel Prize would not have e into being。 And Lance Armstrong is also optimistic; if not， the devil of cancer would have devoured his life and the world would not see a 5-time winner of the Tour De France。
A rose may be beautiful， or maybe not; that depends on your attitude only， and so does success， so does life。 Hindrances and difficulties do exist， but if you are optimistic， then they are only episodes on your long way to the throne of success; they are more bridges than obstacles! Now I prefer to end my speech with the great British poet Shelley’s lines: “If winter es， can spring be far behind?” Thank you!
Good afternoon ，ladies and gentlemen!
I’m very honored to stand here and give you a short speech! my topic is Opportunities and Challenges。
First， I would like to know， what does your destiny offer you? Happiness， wisdom， a strong body or something else。 If I had asked this question to president Nixon， he would probably had said，”Our destiny offers not the cup of despair， but the chalice of opportunity。”
Needless to say， one of the biggest opportunities given to China is the 2008 Olympic Games。 Till now， we have used two sevenths of the preparation time。 How much changes have you seen? New roads， new subway lines， public-exercising equipments with beautiful colors， large blocks of grass fields， and also lots of modern gyms which are under construction。
Other than those， there are even more good effects brought to us by the Olympic Games that cannot be seen directly。 For example， more and more people will get to know China。 I’m sure the mysterious Chinese culture will attract them strongly。 And the games will also do good to the economy and environment， for it is gaining the attention of foreign investors and the awareness of environmental protection is being strengthened。 What is more， Olympic Games give a unique opportunity to inspire and educate a new generation of Chinese youth with the Olympic values and the Olympic spirit。 Now that we have seen so many advances， could you even imagine us losing the holding rights?
I’ve already said a lot about the Olympics and China。 But I think everyone should use some time to think of this question， ”Does the Olympic Games have any special meaning to you?”
For us， I mean the Chinese youth， 2008 Olympic Games is a tremendous gift。 Because what we are waiting for is to do something significant as repaying the love given to us 。The society is just like a ship， and in our dreams the captain is waving his hand and saying ”Hey! Come here and take the helm! ”How charming his voice is， but we have never heard of it in our true life。 This morning， however， when we wake up， we will see the Olympic Games waving its hand。 After chewing， most of us will have at least one plan about what to do for the Olympic Games。 And mine is to be a “forter” ----that is someone who will give fort to others。
At the end of my speech， I hope all the preparation will go well， and everyone will show their ability to the world。 Let us seize opportunities and give a big smile to challenges。
