第一篇:关于勇气的 Courage by Mark Twain
In the matter of courage, we all have our limits.There never was a hero who did not have his bounds.I suppose it maybe 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 was not afraid to sleep with a rattlesnake, but you could not get him to sleep with a safety razor.
I never had the courage to talk acro a long narrow room.I should be at the end of the room facing all the audience.If I attempt to talk acro 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 a
udience behind you.You can never tell what they are going to do.在勇气问题上，我们都有自己界限。有史以来，从未有过一个英雄在勇气上登顶过。我想媒体大肆宣扬的那些勇士们跟内尔森，在他们一生也有自己的勇气也有受限过。
我自己就亲身体会了很多次，有时是在我意料之内的，但经常都是始料未及的。我认识一个人敢睡在响尾蛇旁边，却不敢在搁着安全剃刀的旁边睡觉。
我从未有过勇气一个长而窄的屋子里演讲，我只有在房间的角落里才敢面对听众。要是试着在房间的中间演说，我发现自己身体不听使唤，会转来转去，在三百六十度转换方向的时间，我就有相当一部分听众无法看到我的脸。然而你不可以拥有一部分背对着你的听众，因为这样你永远也不知道他们将要做什么。
第二篇: 英语演讲：无论成败 但求做最好的自己Be the best of w
hatever you are! If you can\'t be a pine on the top of the hill, Be a scrub in the valley---but be
The best little scrub by the side of the rill; Be a bush
if you can\'t be a tree.
If you can\'t be a bush be a bit of gra--but be
And some highway happier make.
If you can\'t be a muskie then just be a ba--
We can\'t all be captains, we\'ve got to be crew,
But the liveliest ba in the lake!
There\'s something for all of us here,
There\'s big work to do, and there\'s leer to do,
And the task you must do is the near.
If you can\'t be a highway then just be a trail,
If you can\'t be the sun be a star;
It isn\'t by size that you win or you fail--
Be the best of whatever you are!
如果你当不成山巅的一棵劲松， 就做山谷里的小树吧---但务必
做溪流边最棒的一棵小树；
当不了树就做一丛灌木，
当不成灌木还可以做小草--但务必
做路边最快乐的一株小草。
如果你不是大梭鱼就做一尾鲈鱼吧，
但要做湖里最活泼的小鲈鱼！
我们不能都做船长,必须有人当船员，
可每个人都有自己的事儿，
有的事情大，有的事情小，
而你要完成的任务就近在咫尺。
如果你不能做大道就做一条小径，
若是不能做太阳就做星星；
决定成败的不是你的大小--
只要你做最好的自己! 第三篇: 英语演讲稿：Cherish the water 珍爱生命之水 My dear Teachers，fellow students and friends： Good afternoon．
As we all know, the earth is a planet almost covered by water，and it is water made every thing on the earth lively．Water is also one of the important part of our environment．Though，
is there really so much water for us to clean，to produce many things，to play with? how much water are there on the earth then?
Most of the water is in the oceans or locked away as ice．The largest volumes of fresh water are stored underground as groundwater，imagine there is only one barrel of water in the world，then there is only a spoon of it on the land，and the water we can use is only a drop of it．Now I have to remind all of you here that the single drop of water is never as Clean as before，it has been polluted severely by our human beings．
There is a very beautiful river in Paris．It is the Seine，it runs acro the City，people drink coffee, chat on the bank in the day，at night，they enjoy the beautiful scenery in the boat，songs from the river fly into the Sky made the river more attractive, the Seine is a famous symbol of France；on the west coast of pacific ocean there lies the modern City Shanghai，another river which used to be a very important transportation route runs through the center of the city，people respected and regard it as\"mother\"．It is the\"suzhou river，but l believe that few
of you would sit beside it，people will be scattered by the terrible smell of water when walk by．I have to say it is extremely dirty! And we all know that a lot of beautiful rivers in the world also are Sharing the same fate with suzhou river． Who is the devil? I can\'t help asking．
Many human activities and their by-products have the potential to pollute water.Please have a look along the banks of the river, large and small industrial enterprises discharge dirty
water, tons of garbage were thrown into the river, the water contained so much that it can\'t clean itself.Compared with the dramatic development in many sides of Shanghai, the suzhou river has become a black point of the appearance of city.
Fortunately, the government has control the situation now, we are happy to see some parts of the river has become clean again, and we even can find fish sometime.
The unique earth is the only planet full of lives, the water is j
ust like the blood in the active body, protecting water is saving ourselves.Not to waste a single drop of water, otherwise, the only drop of water we could keep in the future would be our tear!
My dear friends, mankind still faces a great difficulty in solving the problems of the environment and development, and there is a grand task to perform and along way to go.The middle school students in China will always cooperate with the young people of the world to protect the environment.
The future is ours to build! Thanks for listening.第四篇: 英文演讲：诚信与责任
It is true that most of us value honesty highly.However, nowadays we often confront confidence crisis such as cheating, overcharging, fake commodities and so on.I think that we should be honest because being honest is not only beneficial to ourselves but also to others and the whole society.The reasons can be listed as follows.Firstly, only honest people can be truly
respected by the others and can make more friends over a long period of time.
Secondly, honesty, which is the traditional virtue of the Chinese people, can make our life easier and more harmonious.Thirdly, honesty can make our society more stable.A case in point is that Singapore, a society featuring trustworthine and integrity, has a comparatively low criminal rate.
Responsbility can be understood in many ways.for the parents , they have had the responsibility for caring for and fostering their children since the birth of their baby.for teachers,both in kindergartens and colleges,they also should be responsible for the study and life of their students,that is to say,teahers are the second parents of children somewhile.
for us,as a friend of others,it is our responsibility to help our friends when they are in trouble or faced with difficulties.each one has the different responsibily based on their roles but we must take it for granted that we are responsible for the society
