初一学生英语演讲稿（通用26篇）
Hello! Every one. My name is XuJiaWei, from Class 3 Grade 7.
Please think a minute! I heard a funny true story about this guy who goes to the gym to exercise and work out each week. He takes 20 minutes to change his clothes. Then he walks around the gym talking with different people.
After that, he reads the newspaper. Finally, he does a few stretches and 5 minutes of exercises. Then he takes a hot steam bath before going home. So in the whole 2 hours he’s at the gym, he only spends 5 minutes exercising! One day, someone heard this man saying:“I don’t understand it. I go the the gym almost everyday, but I never seem to lose weight.” But every body at the gym knows why, because they see this guy there doing everything except the main thing exercise!
You see, it’s important that we keep the main thing. And if you want to be successful. In your job, business, or managing your family, or your studies, whatever we do, we must get the main thing done. Instead of wasting our time and energy doing things that aren’t important. Because it is easy to get side-tracked doing other things that might be easier or more fun to do.
Just think a minute…
That’s all for my today’s speech, thanks.
The world in which we live is a very beautiful world. About seven-tenths of the earth is water while three-tenths is land.
Water is “life food” of our earth.. It runs through mountains and valleys. It forms lakes and seas.
At the mouths of the rivers,fresh water joins the salt water of the sea. Here at the mouth of a river, there is very important plant and animal life.
What a beautiful day: The sun is shining and the sky is so blue. The land, oceans,mountains and rivers, plants and animals…everything looks bright and gay.
The sun gives us light, keeps us warm and makes things grow.
Sometimes,white clouds are like ships sailing across the sky.
Sometimes, the dark clouds bring us rain or snow. Sometimes, after the rain, you can see a very beautiful rainbow across the sky.
At night, we can seee thousands of stars and sometimes, the big round moon. The dark sky dotted with bright stars is like a picture! There is so much to see in our beautiful world.
Dear teachers, students:
Hello, everyone! Today, I lecture entitled "the last one leaves." With regard to protection of the environment is very important, I think, from a number of leaders of the speech to appeal to the masses, from the present of you locked the eyebrows and then to our theme of this lecture - "green." Read the famous American writer O. Henry novel "last leaf" who, presumably still remember these words: "When the last one, when the leaves fall, and their lives are over, I have to leave this world gone. ... Love life painter John Simon, is suffering from pneumonia and the brink of big time-limited, "she gently grabbed the hands of the world's growing weakness, she would really like a soft, delicate leaves, as with the Feng cold late autumn, Gone away. "
Today, more and more territory to see the bad bad, maybe we will finally understand that the last one leaves the fate of mankind will be taken away, never to be alarmist. But we are also pleased to see that our government has to implement sustainable development strategies, while also promulgated more than 10 Environmental Protection Act, 200 a number of environmental standards.
O. Henry is a clever writer with "an O. Henry-style ending," is famous for, then the last one does not withered leaves, brings a new patient peril. I think we will create another Europe Henry-style ending, usher in the human newborn. Do nothing and die, was never the choice of human beings, human beings already awakening, they will take action before the crisis, seize the historic opportunity to turn pressure into motivation to defend the green, to protect our common homeland. To face the reality, we meet the challenge, look to the future, we are confident.
My speech is finished, thank you all.
What Caused The Financial Crisis? I think we can sum up the cause of our current economic crisis in one word — GREED. Over the years, mortgage lenders were happy to lend money to people who couldn’t afford their mortgages. But they did it anyway because there was nothing to lose.
These lenders were able to charge higher interest rates and make more money on sub-prime loans. If the borrowers default, they simply seized the house and put it back on the market. On top of that, they were able to pass the risk off to mortgage insurer or package these mortgages as mortgage-backed securities.
Easy money! and what went wrong with our financial system? The whole thing was one big scheme. Everything was great when houses were selling like hot cakes and their values go up every month. Lenders made it easier to borrow money, and the higher demand drove up house values. Higher house values means that lenders could lend out even bigger mortgages, and it also gave lenders some protection against foreclosures. All of this translates into more money for the lenders, insurers, and investors.
Unfortunately, many borrowers got slammed when their adjustable mortgage finally adjusted. When too many of them couldn’t afford to make their payments, it causes these lenders to suffer from liquidity issue and to sit on more foreclosures than they could sell. Mortgage-backed securities became more risky and worth less causing investment firms like Lehman Brothers to suffer. Moreover, insurers like AIG who insured these bad mortgages also got in trouble. The scheme worked well, but it reverses course and is now coming back to hurt everyone
I have a pot of cactus, which the body was stabbed, the body is oval, plus a small thorn root straight Yo, looks like a lovely Xiaoci Wei. Cactus look really strange, it was neither the elegant peony, jasmine fragrance and no fragrance, and no graceful narcissus, but it does have a kind of vitality.
Cactus is often said to listen to great length in the desert, it is very strong, even if a month does not give it water, it can still full of life.
Quite right, these days have been snow, the weather is very cold, I have forgotten the existence of Cactus, when I found it, its body covered with a layer of snow, thin, standing there, like dying, I It was pathetic, could not help but to sigh: "Poor cactus, dead!"
I hold the pot cactus, on the mother said: "It's dead! You see it, all withered!" "No, it stands strong with, you see!" Mother cactus flutter of snow rushed to me after said: "Look, it is still so green, but it was wrapped in snow.!" the whole winter, potted cactus that grows in silence still, despite cold invasion, thirst torture, was left intact.
Yes ah, people do not like this? A person with difficulty, as it was encased in the cactus, as long as you can stand the strong, never falling, what difficulty will be overcome it? Even the cold of snow Cactus can unplug see green. Not to mention us?
Think of a child, I am learning calligraphy, then I did a little strong determination, difficulties always retreat. An exercise, I also practiced how well this practice with a brush to write the "dragon" character I gave up the brush on paper back after some chaotic map of the room watching TV. I backed out, I was overwhelmed that heavy snow, but also did not want to stand up. I gave up, it should not be more, ah, I'll use my strong push this snow
Open, good light, in front of me, and I have to give up.
Really, I want to learn the spirit of Cactus, regardless of wind and rain, I will remember, the sun just after the storm, a storm, a rainbow.

早上好,亲爱的老师和我的朋友。
今天是一个非常种乐趣的主题。
我认为我爸爸是一个英雄给我当我还是个孩子。我们去钓鱼,散步,孩子和其他有趣的事情。
每个孩子都有一个好和伟大的父亲,我也是,我爸爸扮演了非常重要的角色在我的日常生活，准确地说,在我过去的20__年。
我父亲经常站在我生命的中心,从过去到现在甚至未来。
我家很穷当我在我的童年。我们没有自己的房子,必须生活在一个破旧的,小房间租了从我父亲的工厂。这个房间太小了,没有空间让人们走路。我没有我自己的床上,和我的父母不得不睡。这是可怕的对我的父母和我。
但父亲这一切不同!他工作非常努力自己的事业,现在我们有自己的'2 housese,粗暴,我有自己的房间。他把我们的家人幸福,富裕和更丰富。
当我小的时候,我和我的爸爸做了一切。你总是可以找到我坐在他的膝盖或者散步和做一切和他在一起。每天晚上他会读我床上时间的故事,让每个字符的声音。
我从我爸爸那里学到了很多。我学会了从不认真对待事情,总是微笑。
像很多其他父亲一样,我的爸爸和我也有代沟。他不擅长甚至不能电脑工作。所以当我坐在电脑桌前,他会说“你应该更注意你的学习,不要浪费时间在电脑游戏上的,这将会对你的眼睛有害。我怎么能——电脑风扇,减少时间在电脑吗?所以我继续学习和玩它
年粘贴,我父亲现在45岁以上。是时候让我照顾他,我相信我会做,我们会过一个更好的生活。我想说,我真的爱你爸爸,因为你是我心目中的英雄。
谢谢你这么多!
想学好英语，首先要培养对英语的兴趣。“兴趣是最好的老师”,兴趣是学习英语的巨大动力，有了兴趣，学习就会事半功倍。而兴趣不是与生俱来的，需要培养。有的同学说：“我一看到英语就头疼，怎么能培养对英语的兴趣呢？”还有的同学说：“英语单词我今天记了明天忘，我太笨了，唉，我算没治了。”这都是缺乏信心的表现。初学英语时，没有掌握正确的学习方法，没有树立必胜的信心，缺乏了克服困难的勇气，稍遇失败，就会向困难低头，学习积极性也逐渐降低，自然也就不会取得好成绩。但是，只要在老师的帮助下，认识到学英语的'必要性，用正确的态度对待英语学习，用科学的方法指导学习，时间长了，懂得多了，就有了兴趣，学习起来就有了动力和欲望。
其次练好基本功是学好英语的必要条件，没有扎实的英语基础，就谈不上继续学习，更谈不上有所成就。要想基本功扎实，必须全神贯注地认真听讲，上好每一节课，提高课堂效率。因此我们应该做到以下“五到”：
一、“心到”。在课堂上应聚精会神，一刻也不能懈怠，大脑要始终处于积极状态，思维要活跃、思路要开阔，心随老师走，听懂每一句话，抓住每一个环节，理解每一个知识点，多联想、多思考，做到心领神会。
二、“手到”。学英语，一定要做课堂笔记。因为人的记忆力是有限的，人不可能都过目不忘，记忆本身就是不断与遗忘作斗争的过程。常言说，“好记忆不如烂笔头”。老师讲的知识可能在课堂上记住了，可是过了一段时间，就会忘记，所以，做好笔记很有必要。英语知识也是一点点积累起来的，学到的每一个单词、词组以及句型结构，都记在笔记本上，甚至是书空白处或字里行间，这对以后的复习巩固都是非常方便的。
三、“耳到”。在课堂上，认真听讲是十分必要的，不但要专心听老师对知识的讲解，而且要认真听老师说英语的语音、语调、重音、连读、失去爆破、断句等发音要领，以便培养自己纯正地道的英语口语。听见听懂老师传授的每一个知识点，在头脑里形成反馈以帮助记忆；理解领会老师提出的问题，以便迅速作答，对比同学对问题的回答，以加深对问题的理解而取别人之长补自己之短。
四、“眼到”。在认真听讲的同时，还要双眼紧随老师观察老师的动作、口形、表情、板书、绘图、教具展示等。大脑里形成的视觉信息和听觉信息相结合，印象就会更加深刻。
五、“口到”。学习语言，不张嘴不动口是学不好的，同学们最大的毛病是读书不出声，害羞不敢张嘴。尤其是早读课，同学们只是用眼看或默读，这样就只有视觉信息，而没有听觉信息在大脑里的反馈，当然记忆也不会太深刻，口部肌肉也得不到锻炼，也就很难练就一口纯正的英语。所以，要充分利用早晨头脑清醒的时间，大声朗读；课堂上要勇跃回答老师提问、积极参与同学间讨论和辩论，课下对不清楚的问题及时提出并解决。对学过的课文要多读、勤读，可以跟录音机读，竭力模仿其语音语调以纠正发音，要读得抑扬顿挫朗朗上口，对话短文要背得滚爪烂熟。利用一切可能的机会，练习英语口语。
学习英语，无论如何，勤奋是不可少的，它是一个日积月累的渐进过程，是没有任何捷径可走的，。任何成功的获得都要靠自己的努力，要踏踏实实地学习，端正态度，正确对待学习中的挫折和失败。失败并不可怕，可怕的是对自己丧失信心而一蹶不振。对考试的失败，冷静分析，认真思考，只要对胜利充满信心，善于总结经验教训，不断努力，胜利一定是属于你们的。
I’m very honored to stand here and give you a short speech! To begin with，I want to ask a question everybody dream a good dream last night? Actually，today I want to talk about dream with you. Of course， What I want to talk isnot a dream you have last night，but a dream—— about life. Everyone has dreams about life， different dreams at different lifestage，and we need dreams to support us. Dreams are like the stars we never reachin the sky，but like most mariners(水手)，we can chart our course by them. With thedream，we have a direction，with a direction， we were no longer the dream， thereis hope，With hope， we have the strength to fight. I have a dream： To be a doctor.，because doctor may relieve the pain ofpatients. May let the human change the health. At
the same time， I believedthat， those who help others may be able to obtain joyfully. Therefore， I hopedin the near future ，I might be a doctor. But I know，life is tough，and there are always ups and downs， maybe we failin the way to our aims，and we may feel depressed ，whenever at this time， thedream in our heart can always comfort us， encourage us ，and support us to moveahead .
Young!Fortunately， I am young now. Just due to it， I know that nothing isimpossible.I firmly believe that nothing can stand in my way. If I can't realizemy dream，it result from that I haven't work harder enough and I won't find otherexcuses. If no people believe you， you can make it to prove that you are right.If you think the god haven't blessed you and there is no truth here， you canbecome the god and create the truth. "My breath swallows the sky and make the yellow river overflow， my sword isfamous in Kyushu and it can collapse the five sacred mountains." At some time inthe past I also had am bitious words and I had some achievements. Eachachievement results from my hard work. I always believe that "If you want tohave more achievements than others， you must work harder." In some extent， thedream is the hope. If you can insist on doing something， the victory willcome.
Hold fast to dreams， for if dreams die， life is a broken-winged bird thatcannot fly. Hold fast to dreams， for when dreams go， life is a barren fieldfrozen with snow. So my dear friends， think of your old and maybe dead dreams.Whatever it is， pick it up and make it alive from today. Let's--- move----out! Thank you for your listening!

The busy every day, that every day we have to pay for the people, who is our mother! My mother also has all the parents' love. Selflessness, mother of children education is very concerned about this aspect, each week to book city to see about a book on education, televisions, computers, will see my mother.

I won't live up to the expectations of my mother for me, I will be with a grateful heart get into a good school, let mom because I no longer work.
Let us this life with gratitude
As the song goes “ My hope isn’t a dream .” I love the song which brings me confidence when singing it every time . I believe that all our dreams can come true if we have courage to pursue them .When I was young my father always asked me what I would be in the future . Sometimes I found it very hard to give a certain reply . “ I want to be a doctor .” “ I want to be a teacher .” and “ I ’d like to be a scientist !” Many of these answers are perhaps very childish and ridiculous . But I never think they are far away .
How time flies! Who is able to give a definition to his future ? I know clearly that those high buildings are based on solid foundation . As a student , I should have a reasonable aim , and study hard . My goal is to enter the best university for further study after middle school . I know it’s hard work , and I ’ll come across many difficulties and frustrations . But no matter what they are , I’ll keep working on it and never give up . My teacher says there ’s only one kind of people that are truly successful : those who are brave enough to put up with hardships . Even if I won’t achieve the goal , I have no regrets for what I have done , for I have struggled for my life

Nowadays more and more people be ridden for so much diafferent questions.It makes them usually had a bad frame of mind,they think of it,they worrided it ,they carried it...But no one can learn to oblivion. In our life we also had something bad something good,everyone can forget those good things but those bad things allways makes them had a profound meomery. These things usually effect their life.
But why can't us learn to oblivion? Those things allready be happend,why can't we learn to oblivion? So from now,learn to oblivion,i think it can help you have a good heart!
Newspapers and websites are two major new media in the world today, both of which can provide us with lots of news and information. But they’re different in some ways.
Newspapers enjoy a longer history and often come out daily with more reliable news and information. They can be carried and read almost anywhere you like. So many people like reading them. But they can only contain texts and photos.
On the other hand, websites are quite new and popular, especially among young people. Websites have not only texts with pictures but also audios and videos, which makes stories more interesting. What’s more, they are updated from time to time. So the latest news is always seen on websites instead of in newspapers. But it is not quite convenient for people without a computer connected with the Internet to get information from websites.
Nowadays more and more people be ridden for so much diafferent questions.It makes them usually had a bad frame of mind,they think of it,they worrided it ,they carried it...But no one can learn to oblivion. In our life we also had something bad something good,everyone can forget those good things but those bad things allways makes them had a profound meomery. These things usually effect their life.
But why can't us learn to oblivion? Those things allready be happend,why can't we learn to oblivion? So from now,learn to oblivion,i think it can help you have a good heart!
又值一个新的学期，我终于成了全校的大姐姐。可我的身高和说话做事时的几分稚气总会引人发笑。
这不，和以往一样，新学期总要包书皮。以前，妈妈总是帮着我包所有的书皮。可是，当今天我看着妈妈包书皮时那副利落样，不禁手痒痒。
“妈妈，就留下一本让我包呗，我都六年级了，竟连包书皮也不会，要是被人说出来，岂不成了笑话？”我费了半天口舌，终于把妈妈给说服了。
于是我拿起剩下的数学课作本，将裁定好的牛皮纸放在上面看大小。“哈，刚好！”下一步，我将多余的牛皮纸折进书本的`第一页和最后一页，将其余部分裁剪掉。
“妈妈，这样就可以了吗？”妈妈看了看，禁不住皱眉道：“啊呀，我说你啊……你折进去的部分是不是要粘好？不然书皮要脱离书本的。”说着她就比画了一下。哦，对！我怎么就没想到呢？于是我拿起双面㬵；想要贴，“等一下，你要先这样。”只见妈妈娴熟地将书的封面，底面轻轻地折了一下，然后告诉我如果直接贴，等到书合上，就折不平了。原来如此啊，我敬佩地问妈妈：“妈妈，你怎么知道这么多！包书皮也有决窍吗？”妈妈只说等我长大了，自然就会知道了，可是我已经不小了呀！长大，长大，到底要等多久，我才算真正长大了呀！
书皮包好了，这段难忘的经历差点闹成笑话，不过我一直将妈妈的话记在心上，渴望有一天也能“破茧成蝶”。
Australia is one of the famous Oceanian country. The country is famous for its wool production and seashore tour. As the climate there is warm and comfortable, many people spend vocations there every year. I’m a super fan of water entertainment, so I choose it as my destination.
In Australia, the sky is bluer than blue, the clouds are whiter than white, all the local people enjoy an optimistic and active life. They also show their kindness and enthusiasm to the tourists.
The first step should be Sydney Opera which is among the most brilliant and splendid architectures in the world. Many world-class plays are put on in it .The surface and shape of it is like a seashell with glory decorations inside.
Then Melbourne is a good choice to be as the next step. In Melbourne, skin screen is a must to take with as the sunshine is upset and may burn your skin. The most attractive thing to me is the Australia Open, which is one of the biggest world-class tennis competition. Many great players such as Roddick Federer and its local player Hewitt etc. gather to compete. It’s really a feast for the eyes.
Australia is also home to one of the most challenging and exciting surfing and diving projects. As we know, it is always called “a country riding on the back of sheep”. From the interesting saying ,we can know something about the rich wool-production country. If you love animals, kangaroos and kaolas are good company to you .
So don’t forget Australia when you plan a trip.
Good morning,everyone.I'm so happy to give my own speech here today.
Once in a while,i'd think back on the things of past one year.Lucky and excited,i was admitted into this school which is the best high school in our city.I thought it could give me great stimulation to achieve the dream in my heart.However,when i was on the point of facing difficulties,i seemed so weak on the way to success.I gradully lost interest in studying.The stimulation had gotten out of my system and wasn't in control of my mental.I began being absent-minded in most of classes.Playing cellphone became my foolish fault.Finally i delayed my studies.How could i account for my low scores?The answer might be:I was wrong all the way.
But now it's a new start for me.I've made up my mind to be on the right way.I must attach study to me and my future.In a way,i want to apologize to many people who think highly of me for my fault.From now on,i'll never hesitate to strive for my future,although many things may add to my laziness.
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd,you're gonna hear my voice when i shout it out aloud.I hope that not only me,but also everyone sitting here can study hard to strive for our futures.Cheer up!Let's whoop lyrically:We are the champions
Right now it's my whoop,can you hear me?
OK.So much for this.Much to my joy,you're listening to my speech.
That's all,thank you!
Honourable judges and friends,
Good morning! I am very glad to be here to share my college life with you .
Two years ago, I came into this city of and started my college life , the most memorable journey of my life. I was just a shy and little girl that time. all the things seemed fresh to me: new faces, large library and physics lab etc. I breathed the air of college greedily, I was curious about everything.The class given by the teachers are excellent.they provide us with information not only from our textbook but from other sources as well.I actively involved in student union and varies of association. But soon I realized that I do not make full use of my spare time ,so I got a part-time job to help a junior student with math lessons Besides,I also took part in activities concerning public welfare. We taught the kids there who could not afford school, I was deeply touched by their eagerness to learn, The precious experience with the poor kids made me aware of the responsibility on the shoulders of us--future teachers. The enrichment of experience taught me the significance of modesty,responsibility,tolerance,and perseverance.
And now I have been here two years. recalling to the two years, I think I have to talk about one thing--learning. learn how to study independently, learn how to get along with others, learn to love, learn to… oh, there are too much things we have to learn.
Comparing with senior high school, college is a rather different place. there aren’t so many people to watch you and guide you how to do something any more, neither are there so many students who share with you one dream. in college, you must think and study yourself, so you have to learn and practice to control yourself.
Another relationship in college is friendship. my roommates have lived two years with me. in these years, they forgive my faults, cry with me, laugh with me, play with me… they always stand with me and support me, I have learned a lot from them. I love them all and treasure the friendship with them.
In the next 2 years,I’ll try my best to and make great contributions to society! that’s my college life. I cherish all I have experienced in college. I love you, my college!
That’s all, thank you!
I am losing friends left and right, well, actually, only left. Some friendships, however, have been strengthened during this election.
When I was 6, I learned a song: "Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other's gold." Even as a child, I was a born raconteur, so I always had lots of friends. But, by the time I got to fourth grade, I was already getting into political brawls. Early on, I began living my politically active mother's joke, "My name, it opens some doors and closes others."
I learned to tone it down a bit by the time I got to college. As a theater major, it was fun in an acting class one day, when we each had to pretend to be another student. I chose to mimic a beautiful petite girl with long dark hair. She was my polar opposite, this former cheerleader-turned-hippie-princess named Michelle. She got a kick out of my impression of her. I thought it was cool that she could laugh at herself. We began a friendship that has brought us to the present day.
Yet we were always opposites. I am Roman Catholic, she is Jewish. I am tall, she is short. One rainy afternoon on campus, Michelle insisted on carrying the umbrella for both of us, (I don't think I stood up straight until the next day!)
Back then, she was as passionate a Democrat as I was a Republican. However, my friend and I still had something in common that was more important than all the differences. We shared the same values and they showed up in a dozen little ways. That is why we are friends almost 30 years later. Furthermore, she had been moving in my direction politically before, but Sept. 11, 20xx, brought us to a new level of communication. We have bonded even more during this election.
Sadly, I also have re-evaluated some other friendships as tensions increased due to the Kerry-Edwards demagoguery. This is the first time in memory that I've even been appalled by both spouses of the Democratic ticket. I rather liked Tipper Gore and Hadassa Lieberman. I thought they were sweet. And that's the way I used to feel about my liberal pals. But, now a Teresa Heinz-Kerry-like irrationality/Elizabeth Edwards snotty innuendo has infected some of them -- and it makes them unpleasant to be around.
This election may leave those friendships in its wake. The outlook is definitely not good for their Christmas card inclusion.
Sept. 11, Iraq, the demonization of Israel by Kerry's European fans, the beheadings -- all of the latter just doesn't seem to change the '90s mentality of those I know who are voting for the Democratic Party ticket. Like Kerry, they still seem to consider the United States' life-and-death struggle a nuisance. These liberal friends of mine are certainly not bad people, but deep down, they still don't get that we are at war with a greater evil than any of us has ever known. Combined with the extremism culturally on the left, these people are becoming more than a nuisance themselves.
The sobering fact is that these friendships are just too taxing (in both senses of that word). Those relationships have become like old prom dresses in that they just don't fit anymore. There comes a point where some associations can become a fire hazard in one's closet. It may be time to do spring cleaning, even if the season is autumn.
Sure, friends can't agree on everything, nor are they supposed to but though I may think someone's a nice person, fun, etc., increasingly deep differences in our world view can't be ignored in these frightening times.
Three decades later, Michelle is no longer the shorter-than-me actress who insisted on carrying the umbrella as we walked to class, though she is still shorter than me. But she and I easily walk together under an umbrella of shared concerns. A few weeks ago we sat side by side at a most moving event celebrating Jewish and Christian support of Israel and each other.
Yet, we still live very different lives. My college friend has been married for 25 years to the love of her life, the mother of three and an executive in an entertainment corporation. And meanwhile her single free-lancing writer/actress friend, even after all these years still does impressions of her only in print now.
Happily, others have also come along to become comrades in arms this election. They represent a diversity in lifestyle that would warm any liberal's heart (although said liberal wouldn't warm our hearts). There's Genie the stockbroker, Cathy the casting director, Robin the mom of one of my former acting students, Sally the daughter of one of my mother's old friends and many others. Their e-mail messages and calls let me know that though other friendships may wither during this election, I'm hardly alone. They all have a point of view that enables us to skip to shorthand. ("Did you read Drudge?" "Yep!") All of these women make up my own personal non-elitist version of "The View, The Conservative Cut."
Yes, now those old children's lyrics resonate with a new meaning in "Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other is gold." Regretfully, without shared values even after this tumultuous election of 20xx, some friendships may have turned to a tin that rings hollow in these perilous times.
By the way, I recently chatted with one of those former Brownies who sang with me so long ago, She is a "security mom." She is voting for George W. Bush and she will definitely be included on my Christmas card list.
good afternoon, honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen, the title of my speech is defeat makes me more confident.
most people may think that defeat is a kind of obstacle that prevents you from being successful. quite the contrary, i believe defeat makes me more confident.
as you may know, if you can not be an excellent loser you will never win. everything in my life always shows both my advantages and disadvantages. i have been entering a lot of contests. i don’t care about the results, but feel it is more important to learn something during the process. after i failed in the contests each time, the judges always gave me useful comments and suggestion addressing my shortcomings and helped me improve myself step by step. so, now i am more self-confident to face any challenges and believe i will be the final winner in my life
For our students， marks is above everything. Teachers will judge us fromour marks. With marks we can be enrolled into junior middle schools. With marks，we can be enrolled into senior middle schools. With marks we can be enrolledinto college. With marks we can be enrolled into postgraduate and doctrinestudies. Still with marks we can be graded and be allowed to go abroad forfurther studies. Our parents will be strict with us with the marks. Our societyjudge us from marks. However， sometimes we students compare one another withmarks directly. We are completely controlled by marks. We like them and we feelsorry for them. But what attitude towards our marks should we take?
Truly， marks functions cannot be underestimated. In terms of test in ourstudy， marks are fair and real. That is the reason why we say "Everyone is equalbefore marks. "
However， I think marks are the sole standard to judge the success orfailure of students in exams. Sometimes， marks more than ten or less than one ortwo in our exams comparing with others mean not everything. The success orfailure in exams will be influenced by experience on the spot and the examinee’shealth etc. Once in a while one cannot fail in exams. " Success or failure iscommon sense for military. " I think everyone is familiar with the famoussaying. Don’t you think such will be the case with our study? In exams， onecannot be " never-defeated general" . Even though one will be very good ineveryday study， he cannot succeed in every exam sometimes. We can get proof fromthe fact that the very best one we call "Number One Scholar" in the entranceexams for college and ordinary middle school and specialized secondary schoolover the years is not eminent above all others nor top student in everystudy.
As a matter of fact， "high marks" and "ability" are not unified. Some timeago， a new phrase " high marks but poor competence" came into being. Once Ihappened to meet such a teacher as this .It is said that the teacher justgraduated from a far-famed key university. But his teaching result is much lessthan that of the one who just graduated from a not-well-renowned college. Whenlecturing， the teacher only repeated what the text-books says， which was verydull so the his students’ interest in learning was not aroused. His teaching wasshort of unity of teaching and learning. At present there is a fact that we knowa few brilliant and top college graduates are not qualified for their posts. Thereason for it may be lack of the ability to combine knowledge learnt from bookswith pragmatics in their work. Students of this kind will be successful in everyexam but they will be able to use freely their knowledge in their posts. Don’tyou think it waste training such persons for the country?
To sum up from the above， I can say marks are not absolutely authoritativefor some. If we neglect training and developing the students’ ability andcompetence and if we only seek for the high marks， we will be absolutely wrong.We should take an objective attitude towards the marks. Neither should weneglect them nor should we overvalue them like a God.
Hello, everyone! my name is Lu Yi .I am 13 years old. I am in Class4 Grade7. I am a top student in my class. I like all my subjects, but I like English best. Now, I’ll begin. My topie is:
What success means to me?
Once upon a time, an old rich woman left all her property to the person who could answer her question correctly. Her question was “what is the most important thing for a person who wants to succeed?” To my surprise, the answer was not money, not power, not even opportunity, but “ambition”.
Why is ambition so important? A person without ambition is like a near-sighted lion. All the things in the distance appear blurred. No matter how strong it is, it can’t go far.
A lion lives to rule the whole plain. A person must prove that “I am a king here”, at least you are the king of yourself.
Nowadays, the world is very competitive. Even if you get to the top of your own field, there might be still someone better than you. So we have to ask ourselves: what is the proof of success? I believe it is doing something for this world.
Remember: As a successful person, in addition to ambition, the other key you must hold is love. When you look back at history, you’ll find you were standing on the shoulders of the giants. You have enjoyed what they had left you. So we should live to work for the improvement of the world. From president to citizen, we should all take part in building a new WWW for which I have my own explanation ----it is“of the world, by the world, for the world”. Only as a member of the global village, can you feel you are really successful.
First I must say the campus life is really different from what I have experienced in high instance，I used to lean upon my dormitory teache
r to wake me up on now I have to set several alarm clocks to make myself could hear them in the morning otherwise I would miss my then even worse there would be nobody remind me
except my teacher!So the differences are everywhere and I could easily find change of life is great and it’s wonderful:I have more time of my own and the rights to decide how I live.
My campus activities are rich and ning English has become a habit to me cause I plan to study abroad in next few ing Guzheng is my favorite activity.I have kept on practising it since I was a little girl and I wish to win more competitions in my campus life.
Our university has the first level equipments and the most experienced teachers，also has the best students(laugh).I consider it to be a honor that I’ve got a chance to study here and I sincerely hope that we could live wonderful lives in our campus!

Good morning (afternoon),everyone. I’m QinJin from Class1, Grade7. I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. Today my topic is “Time”.I’m going to talk about the importance of time in English.
Someone says,“Time is money.”But I think time is even more important than money. Why?
Because when money is spent,we can get it ver,when time is gone,it’ll never is why we mustn’t waste time.
It goes without saying that is time is usually a second is very should make full use of our time to do something useful.
But it’s a pity that there are a lot of people who do not know the importance of time spend their limited time smoking,drinking and do not know that wasting time means wasting part of their own lives.
In a world,we should save the time,we shouldn’t leave today’s work for tomorrow.
Remember we have no time to lose. We must cherish it.
That’s all for today’s k bye.
Farewell, Indifference
Who was the most well-known figure in China last month? It’s Ma JiaJue—the college student who murdered 4 of his roommates. Many people attributed his crime to his poverty and deficient education. In my opinion, his crime also has much to do with his classmates’ indifference.
Indifference is a terrible disease in today’s colleges and the whole society. It’s not rare that two students who have studied together for 4 years have never spoken to each other. It’s not rare that a student who has been absent from class for several days is not noticed at all. It’s also not rare that a student who has severe psychological problems is not cared about at all.
Some people may say ‘What the students with psychological problems like Ma JiaJue need is not care but psychotherapy.” However, when people are ill, what they need most is not only medical treatment, but also care from people around them. Every smile and every caring word will bring sunshine to their life.
I once heard one of my roommates who was an introverted girl sobbing at mid-night. Being afraid of disturbing her, I sent a text message to comfort her. The next day, she told me that she was crying for not being invited to one of her friend’s birthday party. She thought she was neglected by others. But my message was really comforting which told her someone still cared about her.
What can we do to prevent the tragedy of Ma JiaJue from happening again? Some people may say ‘Let’s open more psychological courses in schools.’ and other people may say ‘Let’s donate more money for the poor students.’ But I’ll say “My fellow student, let’s give more love and care to our roommates, our classmates and every person around us!”
走出冷漠
谁是中国上个月最有名的人物? 这当然要数马加爵了——这个杀害了四名同学的大学生。很多人将他的犯罪归结于他的贫穷和不全面的教育。但我觉得他的犯罪还跟他周围同学的冷漠有很大关系。
冷漠是流行于当今校园及整个社会中的一种可怕的疾病。有的同学在一起学习了4年却从未说过话，有的同学几天没去上课却无人知晓，还有的同学有了严重的心理问题却得不到关心。
有人说：像马加爵那样有心理问题的人需要的不是关心而是心理治疗。但在一个人生病的时候，除了医生的治疗，他需要的还有周围人的关心。一个微笑，一声问候都能为他们的生活带来阳光。
有一天半夜，我碰巧听见寝室里一个平时很内向的女孩在轻声抽泣。为了不惊动她，我给她发了一条短信来安慰她。第二天，他告诉我那晚她哭了是因为她的一位好朋友开生日聚会没有请她参加，她觉得自己被大家所忽视了。但我对短信却给了她很大安慰，让她觉得还是有人惦记着她的。
如何才能阻止马加爵的悲剧重演呢?有人呼吁应该在学校开设更多的心理辅导课程，有人建议应该给贫困学生更多的捐助，而我要说的是：同学们，让我们把更多的关爱带给我们的舍友，同学和身边的每一个人!
