When we are making choices for ourselves, we cannot casually say: "It's just my own business. " As policy makers of the next century, we cannot fail to see our responsibility to those who share the earth with us.The traditional Chinese culture teaches us to study hard and work hard so as to honor our family. To me, however, this family is not just the five of us who quarreled over television programmes. Rather, it is the whole of the human family. As I am making my choices, I will not forget the smile of my teacher when I correctly spelled out the word "China" for the first time, I will not forget the happy faces of the boys and girls we helped to send back to school in the mountains of Jiangxi Province.I will not forget the tearful eyes of women and children in Bosnia, Chechnya and Somali, where millions are suffering from war, famine or poverty.All these people, known and unknown, make up our big human family. At different points, they came into my life and broaden my perspective. Now as I am to make choices for myself, it is time to make efforts to improve their lives, because a world will benefit us all only if every one in it can lead a peaceful and prosperous life.著名人物英语演讲稿：Student Speech Delivered at the Washington University Engineering Graduate Student Recognition Ceremony15 May 1997Lorrie Faith CranorFaculty, family, friends, and fellow graduates, good evening.I am honored to address you tonight. On behalf of the graduating masters and doctoral students of Washington University's School of Engineering and Applied Science, I would like to thank all the parents, spouses, families, and friends who encouraged and supported us as we worked towards our graduate degrees. I would especially like to thank my own family, eight members of which are in the audience today. I would also like to thank all of the department secretaries and other engineering school staff members who always seemed to be there when confused graduate students needed help. And finally I would like to thank the Washington University faculty members who served as our instructors, mentors, and friends.As I think back on the seven-and-a-half years I spent at Washington University, my mind is filled with memories, happy, sad, frustrating, and even humorous.Tonight I would like to share with you some of the memories that I take with me as I leave Washington University.I take with me the memory of my office on the fourth floor of Lopata Hall - the room at the end of the hallway that was too hot in summer, too cold in winter, and always too far away from the women's restroom. The window was my office's best feature. Were it not for the physics building across the way, it would have afforded me a clear view of the arch. But insteadI got a view of the roof of the physics building. I also hada view of one corner of the roof of Urbauer Hall, which seemed to be a favorite perch for various species of birds who alternately won perching rights for several weeks at a time. And I had a nice view of the physics courtyard, noteworthy as a good place for watching people run their dogs. It's amazing how fascinating these views became the longer I worked on my dissertation. But my favorite view was of a nearby oak tree. From my fourth-floor vantage point I had a rather intimate view of the tree and the various birds and squirrels that inhabit it. Occasionally a bird would land on my window sill, which usually had the effect of startling both of us.I take with me the memory of two young professors who passed away while I was a graduate student. Anne Johnstone, the onlyfemale professor from whom I took a course in the engineering school, and Bob Durr, a political science professor and a member of my dissertation committee, both lost brave battles with cancer. I remember them fondly.I take with me the memory of failing the first exam in one of the first engineering courses I took as an undergraduate.I remember thinking the course was just too hard for me and that I would never be able to pass it. So I went to talk to the professor, ready to drop the class. And he told me not to give up, he told me I could succeed in his class. For reasons that seemed completely ludicrous at the time, he said he had faith in me. And after that my grades in the class slowly improved, and I ended the semester with an A on the final exam. I remember how motivational it was to know that someone believed in me.I take with me memories of the midwestern friendliness that so surprised me when I arrived in St. Louis 8 years ago. Since moving to New Jersey, I am sad to say, nobody has asked me where I went to high school.I take with me the memory of the short-lived computer science graduate student social committee lunches. The idea was that groups of CS grad students were supposed to take turns cooking a monthly lunch. But after one grad student prepareda pot of chicken that poisoned almost the entire CS grad student population and one unlucky faculty member in one fell swoop, there wasn't much enthusiasm for having more lunches.I take with me the memory of a more successful graduate student effort, the establishment of the Association of Graduate Engineering Students, known as AGES. Started by a handful of engineering graduate students because we needed a way to elect representatives to a campus-wide graduate student government, AGES soon grew into an organization that now sponsors a wide variety of activities and has been instrumental in addressing a number of engineering graduate student concerns.I take with me the memory of an Engineering and Policy department that once had flourishing programs for full-time undergraduate, masters, and doctoral students.I take with me memories of the 1992 U.S. Presidential debate. Eager to get involved in all the excitement I volunteered to help wherever needed. I remember spending several days in the makeshift debate HQ giving out-of-town reporters directions to the athletic complex. I remember being thrilled to get assigned the job of collecting film from the photographers in the debate hall during the debate. And I remember the disappointment of drawing the shortest straw among the student volunteers andbeing the one who had to take the film out of the debate hall and down to the dark room five minutes into the debate - with no chance to re-enter the debate hall after I left.I take with me memories of university holidays which never seemed to apply to graduate students. I remember spending many a fall break and President's Day holiday with my fellow grad students in all day meetings brought to us by the computer science department.I take with me memories of exams that seemed designed more to test endurance and perseverance than mastery of the subject matter. I managed to escape taking any classes that featured infamous 24-hour-take-home exams, but remember the suffering of my less fortunate colleagues. And what doctoral student could forget the pain and suffering one must endure to survive the qualifying exams?I take with me the memory of the seven-minute rule, which always seemed to be an acceptable excuse for being ten minutes late for anything on campus, but which doesn't seem to apply anywhere else I go.I take with me the memory of Friday afternoon ACM happy hours, known not for kegs of beer, but rather bowls of rainbow sherbet punch. Over the several years that I attended thesehappy hours they enjoyed varying degrees of popularity, often proportional to the quality and quantity of the accompanying refreshments - but there was always the rainbow sherbert punch.I take with me memories of purple parking permits, the West Campus shuttle, checking my pendaflex, over-due library books, trying to print from cec, lunches on Delmar, friends who slept in their offices, miniature golf in Lopata Hall, The Greenway Talk, division III basketball, and trying to convince Dean Russel that yet another engineering school rule should be changed.Finally, I would like to conclude, not with a memory, but with some advice. What would a graduation speech be without a little advice, right? Anyway, this advice comes in the form of a verse delivered to the 1977 graduating class of Lake Forest College by Theodore Seuss Geisel, better known to the world as Dr. Seuss - Here's how it goes:My uncle ordered popoversfrom the restaurant's bill of fare.And when they were served,he regarded themwith a penetrating stare . . .Then he spoke great Words of Wisdomas he sat there on that chair:"To eat these things,"said my uncle,"you must excercise great care.You may swallow down what's solid . . . BUT . . .you must spit out the air!"And . . .as you partake of the world's bill of fare, that's darned good advice to follow.Do a lot of spitting out the hot air.And be careful what you swallow.Thank you。

人与自然环境的演讲稿英语
人与自然环境的演讲稿英语Humans and the Natural Environment。
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Today, I am honored to stand here and talk to you about the relationship between humans and the natural environment. This is a topic that is of great importance, as it affects every single one of us, and the future of our planet.First and foremost, it is crucial for us to recognize the interconnectedness between humans and the natural environment. We are not separate from nature; rather, we are an integral part of it. Our well-being and survival depend on the health and balance of the natural world. From the air we breathe, the water we drink, to the food we eat, everything is provided by nature. Therefore, it is our responsibility to protect and preserve the environment in order to ensure our own existence.Unfortunately, in recent years, human activities have caused significant damage to the natural environment. Deforestation, pollution, and the overexploitation of natural resources have led to the degradation of ecosystems and the loss of biodiversity. Climate change, caused by the excessive emission of greenhouse gases, has resulted in extreme weather events and rising sea levels, posing a threat to both human and animal habitats.It is essential for us to understand that the consequences of environmental degradation are not limited to the natural world. They also have profound impacts on human society. The loss of biodiversity can disrupt food chains and affect agricultural productivity, leading to food shortages and economic instability. Pollution can cause serious health problems for humans, such as respiratory diseases and cancer. Furthermore, the destruction of natural habitats can displace indigenous communities and threaten their way of life.In order to address these challenges, it is imperative for us to change our mindset and behavior towards the natural environment. We need to adopt sustainable practices that minimize our impact on the planet. This includes reducing our carbon footprint, conserving water, and promoting renewable energy sources. We also need to supportconservation efforts and the protection of natural habitats. By doing so, we can help restore the balance of the natural world and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.In conclusion, the relationship between humans and the natural environment is one of mutual dependence. We rely on the resources and services provided by nature for our survival and well-being. Therefore, it is our responsibility to act as stewards of the environment and protect it for the benefit of all living beings. By working together and making conscious choices, we can create a harmonious coexistence with nature and secure a healthy and prosperous future for our planet. Thank you.。

英语演讲稿;Knowing the Consequences of Choice三篇
英语演讲稿;Knowing the Consequences of Choice三篇演讲稿一：了解选择的后果尊敬的校长、老师们、亲爱的同学们：大家好！今天我想和大家分享的主题是“了解选择的后果”。
在我们的生活中，每个人都需要做出许多选择。
无论是在学业、事业还是人际关系上，选择都是我们成长过程中不可避免的一部分。
然而，我们有时候对于选择的后果了解得不够，这可能会导致我们做出错误的决定。
首先，让我们来看看学业方面的选择。
在学业上，我们需要选择自己的兴趣和专业。
如果我们没有了解专业的前景和就业市场的需求，可能会选择一个没有发展潜力的专业，从而在将来面临就业的困难。
因此，在做出选择之前，我们应该充分了解自己的兴趣和优势，并和专业的前景进行对比，以做出明智的决策。
其次，让我们来看看事业方面的选择。
在事业上，我们需要决定自己的职业道路和发展方向。
如果我们没有了解不同职业的工作内容和要求，可能会选择一个不适合自己的职业，从而在工作中感到不满和压力。
因此，在做出选择之前，我们应该尽可能地了解不同职业的特点和要求，以便选择一个适合自己的职业。
最后，让我们来看看人际关系方面的选择。
在人际关系中，我们需要选择自己的朋友和伴侣。
如果我们没有了解对方的性格和价值观，可能会选择一个与自己不合适的伴侣，从而在关系中出现冲突和矛盾。
因此，在做出选择之前，我们应该尽可能地了解对方的性格和价值观，以便选择一个与自己相匹配的伴侣。
总之，了解选择的后果对于我们做出明智的决策至关重要。
无论是学业、事业还是人际关系，我们都应该在做出选择之前充分了解自己的兴趣、优势和对方的性格、价值观，以便做出符合自己利益和发展的决策。
让我们一起努力，做出明智的选择，为自己的未来铺就成功的道路！谢谢大家！演讲稿二：选择的后果尊敬的校长、老师们、亲爱的同学们：大家好！今天我想和大家谈谈“选择的后果”。
在我们的生活中，我们每天都要做出许多选择。
然而，我们有时候并没有意识到，每一个选择都会带来相应的后果。

We enjoy the abundance of choice. But this has not come easily.About 150 years ago, China was forced to open up its door by Western canons and gunboats. It has been through the struggle and sacrifice of generations that we finally have gained the opportunity to choose for ourselves. The policy of reform and openness is the choice that has made all the difference.Like others of my age, Im too young to have experienced the time when the Chinese people had no right to choose. However, as the next century draws near, it is time to ask: What does choice really mean to us young people?Is choice a game that relies on chance or luck? Is choice an empty promise that never materializes? Or is choice a puzzle so difficult that we have to avoid it?First, I would like to say: To choose means to claim opportunities.I am a third-year English major. An important choice for me, of course, is what to do upon graduation. I can go to graduate school, at home or abroad. I can go to work as a teacher, a translator, a journalist, an editor and a diplomat. Actually, the system of mutual selection has allowed me to approach almost every career opportunity in China.Indeed, this is not going to be an easy choice. I would love to work in such big cities as Beijing or Shanghai or Shenzhen. I would also love to return to my hometown, which is intimate, though slightly lagging in development. I would love to stay in the coastal area where life is exciting and fast-paced. I would also love to put down roots in central and western China, which is underdeveloped, but holds great potential.All of these sound good. But they are only possibilities. To those of us who are bewildered at the abundance of opportunities, I would like to say: To choose means to accept challenge. To us young people, challenge often emerges in the form of competition. In the next century, competition will not only come from other college graduates, but also from people of all ages and of all origins.With increasing international exchanges, we have to face growing competition from the whole outside world. This is calling for a higher level of our personal development.Fifteen years ago, the knowledge of a foreign language or of computer operation was considered merely an advantage. But today, with wider educational opportunities, this same knowledge has become essential to everyone.Given this situation, even our smallest choices will require great wisdom and personal determination.As we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also becomes more important.As we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also becomes more important.Nuclear power, for instance, may improve our quality of life. But it can also be used to damage the lives and possessions of millions.Economic development has enriched our lives but brought with it serious harm to our air, water and health.To those of us who are blind to the consequences of their choices, I would like to say, To choose means to take responsibility. When we are making choices for ourselves, we cannot casually say: Its just my own business. As policy makers of the next century, we cannot fail to see our responsibility to those who share the earth with us.The traditional Chinese culture teaches us to study hard and work hard so as to honor our family. To me, however, this family is not just the five of us who quarreled over television programmes. Rather, it is the whole of the human family. As I am making my choices, I will not forget the smile of my teacher when I correctly spelled out the word China for the first time, I will not forget the happy faces of the boys and girls we helped to send back to school in the mountains of Jiangxi Province. I will not forget the tearful eyes of women and children in Bosnia, Chechnya and Somali, where millions are suffering from war, famine or poverty. All these people, known and unknown, make up our big human family. At different points, they came into my life and broaden my perspective. Now as I am to make choices for myself, it is time to make efforts to improve their lives, because a world will benefit us all only if every one in it can lead a peaceful and prosperous life.选择的重要性去年春节期间，我陷入过一场家庭纷争。
三分钟说明性英语演讲稿(3篇)
第1篇Ladies and gentlemen,Good morning/afternoon/evening. Today, I would like to talk about an issue that concerns us all – environmental protection. As we all know, our planet is facing numerous environmental challenges, and it is high time we take action to protect our environment.Firstly, let's talk about the impact of climate change. Over the pastfew decades, the Earth's temperature has been rising at an alarming rate. This rise in temperature is primarily caused by the excessive emissionof greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming. The consequences of global warming are severe and far-reaching, including rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and the loss of biodiversity.To address this issue, we need to reduce our carbon footprint. One ofthe most effective ways to do this is by adopting renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. These sources are clean and sustainable, and they can help us reduce our reliance onfossil fuels. Additionally, we should promote energy conservation and efficiency in our daily lives. By turning off lights and appliances when not in use, using energy-efficient appliances, and driving less, we can significantly reduce our carbon emissions.Secondly, deforestation is another critical environmental issue. Trees play a vital role in our ecosystem, as they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Unfortunately, due to deforestation, the number of trees is decreasing rapidly. This not only affects the balance of our ecosystem but also contributes to global warming. To combat deforestation, we need to promote sustainable forestry practices and reforestation efforts. We should also support initiatives that protect natural forests and wildlife habitats.Moreover, pollution is a significant threat to our environment. Air, water, and soil pollution can lead to various health problems, including respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. To tackle this issue, we needto implement stricter regulations on industrial emissions and waste disposal. We should also promote the use of environmentally friendly products and practices, such as recycling, composting, and using biodegradable materials.In addition to these challenges, we must also address the issue of plastic pollution. Plastic waste is a major threat to our oceans and wildlife. Animals often mistake plastic for food, which can lead to poisoning and death. To combat plastic pollution, we should reduce our use of single-use plastics, recycle more, and support companies that produce sustainable and biodegradable alternatives.Furthermore, it is essential to raise awareness about the importance of environmental protection. Education plays a crucial role in fostering a sense of responsibility and urgency among individuals and communities. By promoting environmental education in schools and communities, we can encourage people to take action and make sustainable choices in their daily lives.In conclusion, environmental protection is a global issue that requires the collective efforts of individuals, governments, and organizations. By adopting renewable energy, promoting sustainable forestry, tackling pollution, reducing plastic waste, and raising awareness, we can create a healthier and more sustainable future for ourselves and future generations.Let us all take responsibility for our actions and work together to protect our planet. Thank you.第2篇Ladies and gentlemen,Good morning/afternoon/evening. Today, I would like to talk about a topic that is often overlooked but holds immense importance – the conservation of water. Water is a precious resource, and we must take action to protect and preserve it for future generations.To begin with, let us understand the significance of water in our lives. Water is essential for our survival, and it plays a crucial role in various aspects of our daily lives. We need water to drink, cook, and clean. It is also vital for agriculture, industries, and maintaining ecological balance. Unfortunately, water scarcity is a growing concern worldwide, and we need to address this issue promptly.Firstly, water scarcity poses a significant threat to human health. Without access to clean water, people are prone to waterborne diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, and typhoid. In fact, water scarcity and poor water quality are responsible for millions of deaths and illnesses each year. By conserving water, we can reduce the risk of waterborne diseases and improve public health.Secondly, water scarcity has a profound impact on agriculture. Water is the primary requirement for crop irrigation, and without it,agricultural productivity will suffer. This, in turn, can lead to food shortages and increased prices, affecting millions of people around the world. By conserving water in agriculture, we can ensure food security and reduce the burden on our planet's resources.Furthermore, water scarcity can lead to conflicts and social unrest. In many regions, water is a limited resource, and competition for it can lead to tensions between communities. In some cases, conflicts overwater have even escalated into wars. By conserving water, we can prevent such conflicts and promote peace and stability.So, how can we conserve water? Here are some practical steps that we can take:1. Reduce water consumption: We can start by reducing our water usage in daily activities. This includes turning off the tap while brushing teeth, taking shorter showers, and fixing leaks promptly.2. Efficient irrigation: In agriculture, adopting efficient irrigation techniques such as drip irrigation can significantly reduce water consumption. Additionally, promoting crop diversification and water-saving crops can also help.3. Water recycling: Recycling and reusing water can help in conserving this precious resource. For instance, treated wastewater can be used for irrigation and industrial purposes.4. Awareness and education: Spreading awareness about the importance of water conservation and educating people on sustainable water management practices can go a long way in making a positive impact.5. Policy and regulations: Governments should implement strict policies and regulations to ensure water conservation. This includes setting water usage limits, imposing fines for water wastage, and promoting water-saving technologies.In conclusion, water conservation is a crucial issue that requires our immediate attention. By taking collective action and adopting sustainable practices, we can ensure a sufficient water supply forfuture generations. Let us not take water for granted and work together to protect this invaluable resource.Thank you for your attention.第3篇Ladies and gentlemen,Good morning/afternoon/evening. It is my great honor to stand before you today to discuss a topic that is often overlooked but profoundly significant: the importance of mental health in modern society. As we navigate through the complexities of our daily lives, it is crucial that we recognize the value of mental well-being and take proactive steps to promote it. I will take three minutes to highlight some key points regarding this vital issue.Firstly, let us acknowledge that mental health is an integral part of overall health. Just as we prioritize physical fitness and maintain our bodies through exercise and a balanced diet, we must also prioritize mental health. Mental well-being is essential for our emotional, psychological, and social development. It allows us to cope with stress, face challenges, and maintain healthy relationships.In today's fast-paced world, we are bombarded with numerous stressors. Work demands, financial pressures, social expectations, andtechnological advancements can all take a toll on our mental health. According to the World Health Organization, mental health disorders are the leading cause of disability worldwide. Therefore, it is imperative that we address the issue of mental health to ensure that individualscan lead fulfilling lives.One of the primary reasons mental health should be a priority is its impact on productivity. When individuals suffer from mental health issues, their ability to perform at work or school is compromised. This not only affects their own lives but also has a ripple effect on the economy and society as a whole. Employees with poor mental health may be more likely to experience absenteeism, reduced job satisfaction, and decreased productivity. Investing in mental health can lead to a more motivated and efficient workforce.Furthermore, mental health plays a crucial role in our social fabric. When individuals struggle with mental health challenges, it can lead to social isolation, relationship breakdowns, and even violence. By promoting mental health, we can foster a more compassionate and supportive society. Education and awareness campaigns can help break the stigma associated with mental health issues, encouraging individuals to seek help without fear of judgment or discrimination.In order to address mental health concerns effectively, it is essential to provide accessible and affordable mental health services. Many individuals are unable to afford therapy or medication, which can exacerbate their conditions. Governments, organizations, and communities must work together to ensure that mental health care is available to all. This includes investing in mental health professionals, expanding insurance coverage for mental health services, and creating supportive environments in schools, workplaces, and public spaces.Another important aspect of promoting mental health is encouraging open dialogue about the subject. By talking about mental health, we can normalize discussions around it and reduce the stigma associated with seeking help. It is crucial that we create a safe space for individualsto share their experiences and seek support. This can be achieved through social media campaigns, community events, and educational programs.Lastly, we must recognize that mental health is not just an individual responsibility but a collective one. We all have a role to play in promoting a mentally healthy society. This includes being supportive friends, family members, and colleagues, as well as advocating for policy changes and increased funding for mental health services.In conclusion, the importance of mental health in modern society cannot be overstated. It is a cornerstone of our overall well-being, productivity, and social fabric. By prioritizing mental health, we can create a more compassionate, supportive, and efficient world. Let us work together to address this critical issue and ensure that everyone has access to the mental health care they need to thrive.Thank you for your attention.。

英语演讲稿;Knowing the Consequences of Choice
over the past spring festival, i got involved in a family dispute. right before i got home, four satellite channels of cctv were added
to the 14 channels we had already had. in prime time at night, they
all had interesting shows. therefore, the five of us-my parents, my sisters and i-had to argue over what to watch. finally, we agreed
that we should watch the "most interesting" programme... if we could agree what that was.
however, all of us there remember that for a long time after we had tv, there were only one or two channels available. the increase
in options reveals an important change in our life: the abundance of choice.
fifteen years ago we all dressed in one style and in one colour. today, we select from a wide variety of designs and shades.
fifteen years ago, we read few newspapers. today, we read english newspapers like the china daily and the 21st century, as well as various chinese newspapers.
fifteen years ago, english majors took only courses in language and literature. today, we also study western culture, journalism, business communications, international relations, and computer science.
the emergence of choices marks the beginning of a new era in
china's history; an era of diversity, of material and cultural richness, and an era of the rebirth of the chinese nation.
we enjoy the abundance of choice. but this has not come easily.
about 150 years ago, china was forced to open up its door by western canons and gunboats. it has been through the struggle and sacrifice of generations that we finally have gained the opportunity。
