Today I’m going to talk about discover yourself.Ever since the accelerated development of human civilization, perpetual scientific discovery of nature have companied mankind all along the journey.It was by discovering the around us that human beings have been able to live a more sophisticated life.However, as G.K.Chesterton once said “one may understand the cosmos, but never the ego, the self is more distance than any star.Thus, a life is a journey of unrelenting offers to discover more of ourselves.When I was six, I constantly picture myself as an elegant and skilled pianist rendering Xiao Bang’s nocturnal beautifully on the stage, receiving award and applause after my performance.However, as I further my piano leons, it was hard to be oblivious of my non-gifted skills.Sometimes I couldn’t help but have this feeling of despair, when I woke up to the reality and discover that my goal was unrealistic.Brutal but real.It was the first time; I had discovered that I couldn’t have it at all, when I was twelve.I thought the coolest job in the entire universe was to be a surgeon.I spent hours and hours watching the drama Grey\'s Anatomy and couldn’t help falling in love with the kind of live those doctor lead on the scream.I was utterly mesmerized by the scalpel and all those fancy medical terms that use.However, I stop to dream about being a surgeon when I discover that it was the idea of being a surgeon that appeal to me, not what it truly was.As a result, the dream ended and I discovered some more about myself.This year, I turned sixteen and I could proudly say I do not dream to be, but ascertain to peruse being a lower in the future.Since junior high school I had always been awarded the most eloquent debater in every single debater participated in.I can not only think logically, but also deliver my thought promptly.My huge interest in philosophy also acts my reason in whenever I tried to argue with something equivocal.Being aware of the obstacles and the hardships on the way becoming a great lawyer never panics me, for the simple reason that I have this faith and paion in what I am aspiring after.G.K.Chesterton was absolutely correct; the most complicated part of comprehending the world is the study of somehow smaller world, ourselves.I subsequently realized that growing up is a proce that discover yourselves.We got to know what we truly are and become who we dream to be.As we shape ourselves and as we shape of our lives.We gradually become more aware of limits and potentials, and consequently learn to adjust learn what’s out there, and by that ladies and gentlemen I’m proud to say that I have discovered part of myself, sue to discovering today and definitely a lot more in the future.I would always keep this in embedded in my heart.Things do not change, we do!
21世纪杯第四届全国中小学生英语演讲比赛第一名演讲
Good morning，judges, teachers and follow students.Today I would like to share with you my great wish.
but first, please allow[ə\'lau] me to take you back in time to the year 1955, the setting, Montgomery [ məntgʌməri ], Alabama [ æləbæmə ], the United States of America.It started out as an ordinary [\'ɔ:dinəri, -neri-] December afternoon.42 year-old African American Rosa Parks boarded [\'bɔ:did] a bus and sat down in the front row.She thought over, the days and friends, her child at home, and how she enjoyed her simple life.She was content, but when she thought about the prejudice[\'predʒudis] and discrimination[dis,krimi\'neiʃən] that she had to face everyday, she felt a mends pain.How she wished to live in the world of true harmony [\'hɑ:məni]! “Ehen, ehen(咳嗽声)”, Rosa was startle [\'stɑ:tl] to see a white man standing beside her.He was starring at her coldly [\'kəuldli], but she managed [\'mænidʒd] to smile and ask politely [pə\'laitli]: “May I help you sir?” “Get out of the seat!” the man snarled [sna:rld] back.“Excuse me?” Rosa was shocked.[ʃɔkt] What right did the man have to speak to her in such a cruel [\'kru:əl]tone? Just because her skin was dark colored and his was fair.And as equals： [\'ikwəl], he certainly [\'sə:tənli] didn\'t have any right to order her out of the seat, or did he? Well, surprisingly, in 1955, lots like Rosa Parks did not have as many rights as whites.Due to racial[\'reiʃəl] discrimination, Rosa’s refusal [ri\'fju:zəl] to give up her seat to a white man, led to a call to the police, and she was arrested [ə\'rest] jailed and convicted[kən\'vikt] a violating [\'vaiəleit] segregation[,segri\'geiʃən] laws.But Rosa did not surrender[sə\'rendə] to prejudice, instead[in\'sted] she chose to fight discrimination and work alongside thousands of others for her wish to rid [rid] the world of racism [\'reisizəm].And now, half a century[\'sentʃuri] later, we are still fighting for the same wish.Traces of discrimination have gradually[\'grædjuəli] disappeared [,disə\'piə], but prejudice lives on.I too, share the wish of Rosa Parks, but I too, wish that prejudice comes to an end.And my friends, prejudice will come to an end if we all work together as a whole.Let us not judge others by their skin color or appearance：[ə\'pirəns], but rather by their content of their character [\'kæriktə].Let us learn to enjoy different cultures and then we’ll enjoy a world of diversity.I wish to look around on a lonely day, and see a blending of colors.Harmony, traveling among people of all skin colors.
