Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I am very glad to stand here and give you a short speech .Today my topic is “Growing pains”. I hope you will like it.

How times flies! After saying goodbye to my happy primary life, I become a junior school student. During this period of time, a great many troubles are around me.

I have much homework from my teachers of different subjects. And my mum bought excise books for me to improve my grades. Every day, I kept doing my homework. I want to give up. But the students learning achievement is great, so I don't want to fall behind. I can only work harder!

Oh!I am very upset! Because I have little time to enjoy my life. Such as doing sports, going hiking and singing songs. That is fun! But I can not relax now, I am so busy!

I can not even sleep! Every night I go to sleep after nine points, get up about five in the morning. I also have panda eyes now. Recently I have a sore throat. I feel out from place(?). I think it is bad and tiring. Every day I stay at my home, look at the scenery outside the window. I missed my primary school life. But now I often tell myself: Yesterday is history. I have to face the music . I said to myself “DON?T WORRY!”

I think I must overcome difficulties. To improve myself not left behind，I want to move forward. I want to take the time to finish the homework.Do not let mum down. And take care of my throat.

Live is beautiful! I will be happy to look upon my life. There must be lots of pains after all during my growth. It is just like something everybody will experience.

Thank you very much,

Ladies & gentlemen,

It?s a great honor for me to speak here today, my topic today is “Growing Pains”.

Everyone knows, as we grow older and older , there will be a lot of growing pains in our life and study, such as too much homework, no freedom, rebelling against our parents and so on..

In my opinion, my greatest growing pain is the pressure of study in Jiaochuan Middle School---a completely new, competitive and challenging school, although I was so happy and proud to get the chance to enter the school at first.

I wonder why I can?t stand out in the exams even if I?ve tried my best；

I wonder why I still can?t see the rainbow after I worked very hard;

I wonder why I?m no longer as excellent as I was in my primary school;

I wonder why ……

How puzzled I am! How frustrated I am ! How painful I am!

Oh, my god! What should I do? How can I adapt to such environment?

“Failure is the mother of success”. Mother?s word comes to my mind.

“Where there is a will, there is a way”. Teacher?s word encourages me.

Well, it?s time for me to consider:

If I should change my old learning methods;

If I should try to communicate with teachers for help;

If I should try to make some new good friends and read some encouraging books….

Ok, “Actions speak louder than words”! I always encourage myself, “Go away! Terrible growing pain, I?ll kill you.! ”

Of course, I know, to get rid of the pain, the most important things for me are “confidence, determination & perseverance”.Don?t you think so?

Boys and girls, believe me and support me please! I?ll do my best! That?s all, thank you for listening! Hello everybody! I t's my honor to speak here, I?m very glad to share my topic with you. Today I'd like to talk something about Growing Pains.

There is laughs and tears, joy and sadness in one?s growing days. When I was a child, I have no pains but many beautiful dreams. However, pains is always together with happiness. My growing pains gets more and more with age. The pains is mainly from my study, my life and the relationships with others.

In September of this year, I?m very proud to enter into Jiaochuan Middle School. In t he first two weeks, I felt exciting. I was so curious about everything. However, the growing pains is also coming afterwards especially in my study. Too many exercises need to be done, too many materials need to be read. I find I can?t finish these quickly. Sometimes I even can?t keep up with the fast pace of teaching. I find I?m no longer the top student of primary school, because so many excellent students from different cities come to our school. The competition of study is so fierce.

At that time, I think of words of Teacher Ye who is my language and literature teacher in primary school. “You are a sunny, confident, diligent boy, I believe you can be top student anywhere anytime”. “Is that true?” I ask myself. “Yes, you can.” I tell myself in my heart. M y teachers and parents also encourage me. There is an old Chinese saying, “No pains, no gains”. I?ll try my best to study, learn good methods from others, face challenges and overcome difficulties. I believe the colorful rainbow is just after the storm. Growing pains and happiness are really good friends. They give me two wings to fly to the bright future. “Where there is a will there is a way, growing pains is our driving force ” , Do you agree with me? Hope you enjoy your happy and wonderful life.

That?s all. Thank you very much.

How time flies! Now I?m a student in Grade Seven and I?m facing many pains. To be honest, I don?t feel happy sometimes.

When I was a child, I was an adult, I wouldn?t have to go to school or have any tests. Now I don?t want to grow up. When I was young, I was carefree. I could play all day freely. I could do whatever I fell like doing. However, something has changed.

I am growing up gradually. During my growth, a lot of trouble has worried me. In school, I have to learn so many lessons and do lots of homework. I?m out of breath because of the heavy burdens sometimes. I almost have no time to play with my friends. Besides, I have my own ideas and ways of doing things, which causes so many arguments between my parents and me.

I want to return to my childhood, when I ways carefree, without so much homework, or so much trouble. However, no matter what happens in our growth, we must have a positive attitude. Every day is new day! We all meet a lot of trouble when we grow up. Parents and teachers always make many strict rules for us. Unluckily, it is an impossible mission to follow all of them, though we try really hard. That?s why we feel confused and upset.

Once, I played hide and seek with my friend Lucy in my home. With a loud bang, Lucy broke mother?s favorite vase by accident. When my mother saw it, she smiled to Lucy and said, “Don?t worry. I?ll buy a new one.” I thought that was the end of the story. How kind she was! But I was wrong. When Lucy left, mother asked me angrily, “Why did you take her there? You should have known what would happen if you play there.” I argued, “But it was Lucy who broke it.” I didn?t understand why mother was much stricter with me than anyone else.

Years later, I went to primary school. I was a good student and all the teachers trusted me. However, the more they trusted me, the more pressure I felt. As a top student, it was my job to set a good example to my classmates. So there was no chance for me to make any mistake. It was really difficult to live up to their expectation.

And now, I am a middle school student. I spend much time studying all the subjects well. I wonder whether we study to live or live to study. It?s really hard to keep a balance between them. I can?t study well if I want to have fun, while it?s hard to relax myself if I want to get good grades. It is said that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. I hope I can study well and have fun at school.

We have to face different challenges in our life. My mother always tells me to be strict with myself. My teachers always expect me to try my best. They push me hard to help me grow. Though it is painful, I learn a lot. If we encourage ourselves when we are in trouble and put our heart into what we do, all the pains will turn into beautiful memories and strong power.

Hello everybody. It?s my honor to be here today. I want to talk about “my pains of growing up”.

How times flies! Now I am a student in Grade Seven. I think it is the first turning point in my school life. In the process of growth, everybody has more or less trouble. Of course, me too.

Now I?m thirteen years old. When I was a child, I hoped to grow up soon. But now, how I wish I were a child! Once I grow up, I found so many pains waiting for me.

Firstly, being far from home is a pain of growing up. Just graduating from primary school, I leave my hometown for NingBo to study. I really miss my dear family and friends. How I envy other students! Because they can study in the hometown.

Secondly, studying is a pain of growing up. Exactly,studying itself is pleasant. But examinations and scores are really painful. One day, I failed in math test. On that day, I left myself alone, not to eat and not to play. I felt very very sad. I think I lost my confidence in math from that day.

Now I?m very happy to stand here to tell you my pains. Because my mother said to me: No pains,no gains. Pains are friends of gains. Growing up is a process of our life, you may meet much more trouble in the future. If you overcome it, you?ll be better than before. Otherwise, you may be a loser.

So I want to exchange pains for gains, I will do very hard to overcome the growing pains. Then I will be much better than before. Now, come on, my friends! Let?s welcome the pains from growing up. Ladies and gentlemen, I am glad to stand here to talk about my growing pains.

As time passes ,I want to act independently. But my parents sometimes don?t agree with me.

One day, one of my friends phoned me. He said to me, “It?s a fine day today. Let?s ride our bikes in the park together.” It was exciting for me. I wanted to ride bikes. So I asked my mother, “Can I ride a bike in the park with my friends?” “No you can?t.” Replied mom. “Why? I?m twelve years old. I can ride the bike by myself.” I said loudly.”Because it?s dangerous to ride bikes on the road. I?m worried about you.” She said strictly. I got very angry. ”Don?t stop me from doing that!” I shouted impulsively.

My mother was disappointed and said nothing to me. She went away.

Two days later I felt ashamed, so we had a heart-to-heart conversation. I told mom that sometimes she didn?t understand me. She listened to me carefully. At last, she said, “Parents all over the world love their children. I hope you remember it.

I thought about what she said and realized that I had really made a mistake. Mom is certainly sad now because her son spoke rudely to her.” In the end, I said “sorry” to her. From then on, I have never been puzzled by the growing pains. I also comprehended the trouble I caused .

We are in our teens now, so we always think we know best and cannot see our parents? points of view. In fact, they love us. In our teens, happiness and pain follow each other like the body and its shadow. We must overcome the pain, face it and say, “I am not afraid of you﹗”

Growth is just like a boat floating on the wave, which comes across both sunshine and storm. When I was a little girl, I am always eager to grow up. I think I can do everything I want when I grow up. But now I discovered that life is not so smooth as I expected. The older you are, the more challenges you have to meet. I found one of the biggest difficulties is how to live independently.

When I was a primary student, I depend on my parents when I meet difficulties. I can't do any housework, such as c ooking, washing, and making the bed by myself. I don?t mind it at first. But I soon realized that it becomes a very serious problem, because I'm about to be a junior middle school student. I have to live in the school alone . I couldn?t depend on my parent s!

So I have to learn to live independently in two months. This is a big problem for me, but I have to face it and overcome it. Then, I began to learn how to do the housework. Every day, I have to clean my study room and bedroom. And also I try to wash my clothes. When I get up in the morning, I must make the bed.

Through a summer vacation, I finally got the self-improvement. I can face many problems independently.

I believe that as long as I am willing to try, there is nothing difficult in the world!

Growth is painful, but everyone should be brave to overcome the difficulties on the way to it.You will

succeed in the end!

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Today I want to tell you about my growing pains.

…Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it.? I believe a brave person can face any danger. We always have many troubles when we try to get over the difficulties. However, how to overcome it? That is up to you to decide.

I remember that when I was in the primary school. I have had many difficulties since I started to learn English. Once I had a hard time telling “night” from “light” at the very beginning. My poor memory also added to the difficulties when I decided to enlarge my vocabulary. English words were so elusive that I could only remember them for a while. But I told my self, if you can not remember them, you will not learn English well and get very bad grades. I believe …Difficulty is the mother of the success' and …Believe in myself and I will win '. Now, I succeed. I can st and there and show you my achievement.

We can't have good luck forever, so learning how to face difficulties is important. Some people feel upset when they meet difficulties, as they are not brave enough to make their dreams come true. They just want to find a place and stay at there for a long time. So they won't have a great success in the end. While some people are different, they are confident and brave and they choose to face the difficulties with a smile.

I have some ways to deal with the grow pains. I think when you meet difficulties in your life, you should be more confident and braver. Always try to find a good way to relax. Maybe talking to others or having a rest is a good way. Then think it over and make a plan to solve your problems. If you do so, you'll find that your difficulties are not as difficult as you think before!

That is all. Thank you for your listening.

Hello, everyone! My name is Joyce. It is my great honor to stand here today. Now, I?d like to tell you about the experience in my life.

Everyone has a lot of annoyances around you. For example, you may feel upset when you fail in one examination or make a mistake in a very important thing. I also have my own pains.

In my childhood, most of the time I played with my friends or read some books. I hardly ever had annoyances. Even when a baby, I laughed and crowed from morning till night. No one ever heard my cry unless I was sick or hurt.

But things would not so beautiful forever. When I grew up, I began to be worried about something. I often got ill so I was anxious about my physical health, and also my athletic performance. During the time in my primary school, I had few friends who cared about me so I always felt lonely. And sometimes, the grades likewise to be a problem. I was not so delighted as before.

When I was older, I found something different. The annoyances were still around me, but I was not so afraid of them. Everyday, I had to face anything. During the course of solving the problems, I deeply felt the responsibilities on my shoulder. Step by step, I became brave and strong.

Now, I don?t fear in pains in my life. I can face them by using my heart, because I know, growing pains can help me find the way to success.

Good morning/afternoon,daer teachers and classmates.My name is Ge Ge.It is my honor to be here to make a speech about growing pains.

First,I will tell you a story about a girl.There was a little girl who dreamed to be an excellent host and lived a happy and carefree lift.When the gril was at her primary school, she hoped that she could grow up quickly.At that time,she thought to be an adult was very cool thing because adults could do many things as they like.

Time files!The little girl said goodbye to her primary school and becomes a middle school student now.But she finds it impossible for her to live such a happy lift.Then?s always so much work to do and much trouble to face in middle school.For example ,at school,there are seven subjects in her daily class.So

she has to do much homework everyday.Besides,she has to worry about her grades.What?s worse,after school,she must do many marry exercise.At you can see,it isn?t an easy life for a little girl.Sometimes,she feels stressed out and she even doesn?t want to grow up to face all of the things.Well,can you guess w ho that girl is?Yes,you?re right.I am that poor little girl who id going through my growing pains.

Luckily,I have a good listener and mener----my mother.She often gives me a hand when I am in trouble.Moreover,she is just like a light witch lighten my lift.She tells me that growing up isn?t a bad thing .It is a natural part of our life,and every me needs to experience it.Actually,all of the experiences will enrich our lift and be the best memories in our life ,even the growing pains.No pains,no gains.Pains make us brave and grown-up while gains can give up success and confidence.And we should never give up when we experience the growing pains.Instead,we mus try our best to overcome it.So,never be afraid of any growing pains.Just remember and believe …you can?.Then nothing an stop your footstep of growing up.Believe in your self,that will made everything much easier;work haed,that will make everything more succsssful!

Good morning. Ladies and gentleman. I am very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. I am He Xinyang from Jiao chuan Middle school. Today I am going to say something about me and my growing. This September, I came to my new middle school_ Jiao chuan. I was very happy. Because I know this school is the best one in Ningbo and studying in this school is my dream for many years. What made me even happy was that I could make some new friend. I am free to do whatever I want. I was so excited. But two weeks later. I am not happy everyday. Without my parents taking care of me, I have to do my washing. And tidy dorm. When I am at home. A do not have to do these things.

The worst thing is that I am not satisfied with my grades .When I was in my primary school, I always the best one in my class or even in my grade. But now there are so many students better than me. I do not know what is wrong with me. I miss my home, my friend and my parents. My teachers speak so fast that I can not follow them.

Once I returned home on weekend. I told everything to my cousin on the telephone. She said:”Everybody will leave their home one day. Do not worry about it, my dear. You do not have to be better than everyone around you. But you can be better than you used to.”

When I go back to school, I try to be better than before. try to study hard every minute in class. I try to keep my room cleaner……

Now I am still not the best in my class. But I never worry about it. Because I know: You do not have to be better than everyone around you. But you can be better than you used to. When you come to room at night. Look at the mirror and you think you are the best. You will pass the only test that matters.

This is all I want to tell you. Thank you!

How time flies! Now I am a student in Grade Seven. Every day I grow up. Growing is very interesting, but I also have many growing pains.

Every year my height grows taller and taller. My parents have to buy many cloths for me because the old clothes are too small for me. And I can?t buy children?s tickets when I take a train or a bus, because I?m too tall. It?s not good.

When I was a little child, I always have much free time. In my spare time I can do a lot of things, like drawing, singing and reading books. Now, I have much homework to do. My spare time becomes shorter and shorter. I have no time to do what I want to do. Sometimes I spent the whole day in my room doing my homework. This makes me very depressed.

In school, I have to take a lot of lessons. Some are interesting and some are boring. But we have to learn all of them well. Every day we study and study. Every week we have exams. I don?t like them, but I try my best to be the first in my class. Somet imes I think it?s boring. It doesn?t make me happy.

I have many growing pains. They make me blue. But I must overcome them. Growing pains help me grow better. And they make my life colorful, too.

Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon! My name?s Jin Yu. I?m 13.I am from Zhenhai Jiaochuan Middle School.

Day by day, we are growing up. In a blind of eyes, I am 13. As I am growing older, lost of pains and trouble are coming with the growth of age. The biggest one is that I have to deal with more and more homework.

Every night, there is a lot of homework, Chinese, Math, English, Science, and so on. Even weekends and holidays are no exception. Much time for resting, playing, and reading is being deprived by the growing homework. What?s more, my homework is gett ing more and more, harder and harder. With so much homework to do, you can hardly imagine how upset I am.

The secondly problem is I?m no longer a little girl who can do whatever she wants to do. There are several younger cousins in my family. So I have to set a good example for them and take good care of them. You know what I mean. I?m no longer a “Little Princess”. When my younger cousins keep crying no matter how hard I try, you just cannot imagine how desperate I am,

During my growth, difficult troubles come with difficult stages, and I have no idea what will be the next trouble ahead waiting for me, However, what I?m sure is that as I?m solving problems one by one. I?m growing up step by step. Therefore, I will keep a good mindset facing the coming pains and troubles. I believe I can!

That?s all. Thank you!

It was Monday. People think Monday is unlucky. It?s true.

That Monday, the rain was heavy. Much rainwater was on the window. Everything was just like a funeral. My mood was bad. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside. The sky was constrain. I cried again.

Many books were on the floor. My schoolbag was in a corner. I sat on the floor. I cried again.

I always have a lot of homework. So, sometimes my room is untidy. That Monday, my mom came in my room while I was doing my homework. She looked around the room. “What did you do?” She said angrily. I said: “I have just done my homework.”

“But your room is so dirty!” She said. She put my schoolbag in that corner, and put my books in the bookcase. Many tears are in my eyes. I was very sad.

She said: “I?m so sad. I have taught you many years. But you can?t do something by yourself.” She said sadly. She said, “I?m very sad. I can?t say anything to you kindly.” I sat on the floor.

I stood. I put so me books in my bookcase. I put then slowly. My mom hurt my feeling, but it?s not her fault. Am I wrong? I don?t know.

I an 14 years old .But I think I can?t do anything very well. IN my life, my mom always does something for me. I didn?t do anything by mys elf. Many pains are in my life, but I think I can do everything by myself. I am not a child. I am man! I?m growing!

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm honored to stand here and talk about my growing pains.

When I enter the junior middle school, the pains of growing continuously are coming. The biggest pains are numerous of homework and pressure. Subjects from the original seven kinds to now ten ones .The subjects are more difficult than that in the primary school and the time isn?t enough to use.

In the past, we can enjoy playing and have a rest, but now the weekend is full of the homework .I?m really out of breath! But we haven?t got any choices. We are students and as students, we need to do our homework. Doing homework is an way of examining our learning. I resist so much. But now I think, homework can find our mistakes in learning, and then we can correct the mistakes quickly and it is easier to deal with the tests.

You may think I?m just like a spinning top for learning, turn around every time. Then you ar e wrong.

Learning lets me know how to fix up my time. So I have some time to play basketball, play volleyball and I?m joining the school shoot club.

When I think most of my friends are taking part in the university entrance exam and using this test to go to nice university, I will be learning harder and harder to catch up with them. Although pains make us worried, but it gives me a motivation firmly of learning.

Growth and pains are relying on each other .Growing brings us pains but the pains let us grow. More pains, much better, and then, you will be successful.

Thank you for your listening.

Ladies and gentlemen, I?m going to stand here to horror my growing pains.

Along with my growing, some pains had arisen. For example, I am always feeling very busy. And I always spent my times to have nothing to do with my studies. It is a real headache.

When I was a child, my life was colorful. I felt eating,, drinking, playing. and sleeping were very happy. But now, all of them are change.I have many things to do. Every morning, I have to do exercises. It makes me tired. Then I have many classes. At night, I have to do my homework. My days are busily occupied because of the pressures of studies, and they are go round continuously.I feel much pressure. Then I try to be relaxed. I go to bed at half past nine and get up early. This way of making spirited is useful for me. I hope improvements in efficacy at my life. So I often write my plan. It includes three aspects: my exercise, my studies and my activities. I know doing sports is good for health. I like to design my plan free, because I can change and trim my plan all time. Of course. I always act in accordance with my ability. I know that making over arrangements for my life often cause me feel nervous.

Now my lives are orderly.I have many good habits.It makes me joyful and relaxed.I have enough time to study.…No pains,no gains?,I have culture,I can talk civilization.And I am always praised by teachers.After school,I can learn playing the violin.Now it is my hobby.I am often immerse in the music.So my lives are colorful again.

Somebody said,…Some people want it to happen,some wish it would happen,others make it happen.?I think I am the third people.I can get better and better in the future.

Thank you for your listening.
