honorable judges, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:
it is a great honor and pleasure to be here on this beautiful saturday morning to share with you my sentiments about life and passion for the english language.
about a year and a half ago, i took part in my very first english speech contest. when i stood before the microphone with all eyes starring directly at me, i could hardly speak. i stood there, embarrassed and helpless, struggling in vain for the right thing to say. my fears had paralyzed me.
while my passion for english has never changed, i lost my courage to speak in public. when my professor again encouraged me to take part in this competition, i said “no.” i couldn’t endure yet another painful experience. he looked me straight in the eye and said something that pierced my heart. i will never forget his words. “look,” he said, “we all have our fears, and you have yours. you could twist your ankle in a basketball game, but then be afraid to ever play again. running away can never dispel your fears, but action will. a winner is not one who never fails，but one who never quits.”
i spent a whole day with his words twisting and turning in my mind. then i made the bravest and wisest decision of my life: i would face my fears –and take part in the competition!
as it turned out, my dear old professor was right. now, here i am, once again standing before a microphone. my heart is beating fast, and my mouth is dry, but most importantly, i have faced my fears -- and that makes all the difference!
this is a story about courage.
the brutality has such a mythical grandeur that it occasionally resembles beauty.
ultimately, gladiator is an honorable and inoffensive spectacle with nothing extraordinary to recommend it.
gladiator is a __ historical epic directed by ridley scott, starring russell crowe, joaquin phoenix,.maximus rises through the ranks of the gladiatorial arena to revenge the murder of his family and his emperor.historical epic.
the film was nominated for and won multiple awards; it won five
academy awards in the 73rd academy awards including best picture.
it gave me a big heart quake by its grand view and its lively characters. by the time maximus whispers his final words, assuring lucilla that lucius is safe, i'm moved by honor and justice. by the time juba is reverently burying maximus's totems of his wife and son, i'm. when i watched
gladiator, i'm struck by the quiet, ardent, even reverent heart at its core, one that beats for the love of family. it's a heart that beats true that makes gladiator so rousing.
“be brave, my friend; be strong, my friend; stick to your belief, my friend; stand to your principles, my friend”——just as he did. he, the former general of rome, the slaver later, and the gladiator dying for his dreams at last, implying a kind of strength that can make us always hold us heads up, never give up.
maximus, general of the armies of the north, wants nothing more than to go home to his spanish farm, to his wife and young son, after too many years fighting for the glory of the roman empire. he is loved by marcus aurelius, the aging emperor, who wishes maximus be his successor. this arouses his son commodus' anger when he heard about it. the power-hungry commodus kills his father and orders that maximus and his family should be executed. maximus manages to escape his assassination, and races home only to find that he was too late to save his family.
after burying them, maximus is found unconscious by slave traders and forced to fight for his life as a gladiator in arena. during this time, he gains notoriety through his impressive victories as a gladiator, ultimately reaching the historic roman colosseum. in his first event, he skillfully leads a band of gladiators to defeat an opposing force of chariots and archers, earning the crowd's praise through his heroics.
maximus later survives when he is forced into a match against tigris of gaul, rome's only undefeated gladiator. maximus avoids being killed by tigers released into the arena, which furthers commodus' frustration, as it seems he cannot kill maximus or stop his ascending popularity.
now desperate to have maximus killed, commodus arranges a duel with him in the arena. unknown to the crowd, commodus stabs maximus before they enter the arena.
with his dying words maximus carries out marcus ' commands, calling for the slaves to be freed, and power in rome to be transferred to the senate. lucilla reiterates his wishes, reminding
everyone that he was a soldier of rome and that his memory should be honored.
he lost his beloved wife and cute boy; he lost his authorities, but he won his glories, he won his battles, he won the respect forever, and he won himself.
powerful and loving family bonds provide the strength maximus needs to triumph here -- bonds between himself and his murdered wife and child, himself and the very concept of rome.
in my eyes, maximus is a hero, a real man with strong spirit and responsibility. he worth the honor people give him forever.
in the matter of courage we all have our limits. there never was a hero who did not have his bounds. i suppose it may be said of nelson and all the others whose courage has been advertised that there came times in their lives when their bravery knew it had come to its limit.
i have found mine a good many times. sometimes this was expected--often it was unexpected. i know a man who is not afraid to sleep with a rattle-snake, but you could not get him to sleep with a safety-razor.
i never had the courage to talk across a long, narrow room. i should be at the end of the room facing all the audience. if i attempt to talk across a room i find myself turning this way and that, and thus at alternate periods i have part of the audience behind me. you ought never to have any part of the audience behind you; you never can tell what they are going to do.
i'll sit down.
It’s beyond reproach that we will come across all kinds of difficulties and challenges in our life time .Some will be subjected to frequent sadness .Some will lose their way to move on .Thus,only when we equip ourselves with hope and courage can we finally succeed in the uncertain future.
Forrest Gump showed so great courage in the movie that he touched me a lot . For one thing,no matter when and where Jenny got into trouble ,Forrest Gump would bring her out of it without thinking how dangerous the situation would be .Maybe we should all fell ashamed that we love ourselves more than we love love ,but Forrest showed great courage in love .For another,Forrest gump risked his life to save Bubba in the war.It’s courage that helped Forrest gain a series of honor after war .Forrest Gump is beautiful for his perseverance and touches others with his courage.
A person can’t do without courage in terms of love and friendship ,let alone life . A weak person may avoid the difficulties ,but a person with courage will face up to it head-on. Therefore,let’equip ourselves with great courage.
Hemingway often thought of courage as a person's ability to be calm and controlled in the face of death.His theme is presented in his novel "For Whom the Bell Tolls?" the story "The Old Man and the Sea" and in our textbook "A Day's Wait".By misunderstanding a different thermometer the boy thought he was running a high fever and would soon die.But he took his death bravely and waited quietly for it.The boy showed us he had courage.
I think such a definition of courage is far from enough.Courage should not be limited and related only to death.In ordinary life there are common things that also show a person's courage.For example,on a bus trip,a thief was trying to steal a girl's purse.Some people saw it,but kept quiet.They were afraid to be revenged by the thief.The brave stood out and stopped the thief.
Courage means truth and justice to me.The person in a high position often hear songs in praise of him.Some people are sincere.Some are only flattering the superior in their own favor.The leader also needs courage to welcome criticism as well as those who have the courage to criticize him.Such courage may come from mutual understanding.I think a man of courage will value truth and justice,and not hesitate in his actions to do what he thinks is right,There is no such word as fear in his dictionary.
