Spea king to strangers was not encouraged. People were most hos pitable and friendly—but only once they had been introduced to new people. However, I have been lucky enough to spend some time in bo th Italy and the US, where I found traditions of hospitality and politeness to be very different.I experienced Italian hospitality first－hand on a crowded railway carriage travelling, one afternoon, from Genoa to Florence. Sinking gratefully into an empty seat, I was berated(斥责) in rapid Italian by a gentleman who was returning to this s eat－it had not been “spare” after all. I apologized in English, and g ot up to allow him back into the seat. The gentleman obviousl y had no understanding of the English language, but he, too, r ealized my genuine mistake. He smiled and gestured for me t o remain in the seat, and he himself remained standing in the corridor for the remainder of the journey. The other occupants of the carriage smiled and nodded at me and made me feel q uite welcome amongst them. I feel that if this had been in Eng land, a foreigner who made a mistake would not always be so kindly treated.Transport also featured in the differences I noticed between E nglish and American culture.

They felt it was not polite to intrude on someone else's privacy. However, whe n I travelled across the United States, whether by plane or Gr eyhound bus, I was never short of conversation. Conversation was going on all around me and whoever sat next to me was happy to introduce themselves and ask me about myself.

At school, we should respect our teachers, get on well with our classmates and study hard. We should also obey traffic rules. When the traffic lights are red, we should stop. When we wait for a bus, we should wait in line. Don't throw litter or spit in public. And we'd better not talk or laugh loudly. We should never say dirty words.

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 trustworthiness andintegrity, 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. ted英语演讲稿篇3On the night of the elixir of love, in celebrate this holiday season, we came the 58th birthday of the motherland.At the same time, our students also welcomed a national holiday.The first day of the holiday, I finish the teacher assigned the homework first, and ready to go to sleep, thinking: this National Day seems so meaningless.How to have a meaningful National Day?

十八岁的发言稿英语
十八岁的发言稿英语Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, teachers, and fellow students,Good morning/afternoon. Today, I stand before you as an 18-year-old student to share my thoughts and reflections on this significant milestone in our lives. It is an honor to be given the opportunity to speak at this gathering, and I would like to first express my heartfelt gratitude to all who have supported and guided us throughout our journey so far.The age of 18 marks a turning point in our lives. It represents the official transition from adolescence to adulthood, bringing with it new responsibilities, opportunities, and challenges. As we embark on this new chapter, I believe it is crucial for us to take stock of our past, embrace our present, and envision our future.Looking back, our teenage years have been a time of learning, growth, and self-discovery. We have faced various trials and tribulations, waded through the ups and downs of academic and personal life, and come out stronger and more resilient. Each of us has encountered setbacks and faced obstacles, but we have also celebrated achievements and delighted in moments of success. These experiences have shaped us into the individuals we are today – individuals ready to face the world with confidence and determination.Now, as we step into adulthood, we must realize that the journey ahead will not be smooth sailing. We will inevitably encounter new challenges and uncertainties. However, I firmly believe thatwe have been equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to navigate through life's tumultuous waters. Our education has taught us to think critically, solve problems, adapt to new situations, and communicate effectively. These skills will serve as our foundation as we strive for personal and professional growth.As we embrace the opportunities that adulthood presents, let us not forget the importance of staying true to ourselves. Amid societal pressures and expectations, it is crucial for us to identify our passions, pursue our interests, and follow our hearts. Each of us is unique, with our own dreams, goals, and aspirations. It is our responsibility to pursue what truly brings us joy and fulfillment, rather than succumb to external influences.Furthermore, let us not underestimate the power of resilience and perseverance. Life is not always a bed of roses, and setbacks are inevitable. However, it is how we respond to these setbacks that defines our character. The ability to pick ourselves up, learn from our failures, and keep moving forward is what sets successful individuals apart. It is this resilience that will see us through the toughest of times and enable us to achieve greatness.Lastly, as we look ahead to the future, we must remember the importance of contributing positively to society. We are not alone in this world; we are part of a broader community. We have a responsibility to use our skills, knowledge, and resources to bring about positive change – be it in our local communities or on a global scale. Whether it is through volunteering, activism, or pursuing careers that make a difference, let us strive to leave a lasting impact on the world around us.In conclusion, my fellow students, reaching the age of 18 is a momentous occasion. It represents the start of a new journey, filled with opportunities, challenges, growth, and self-discovery. As we move forward into adulthood, let us remember the lessons we have learned, the values we hold dear, and the dreams we aspire to achieve. Together, we have the power to make a difference in this world. So, let us embrace the future with open hearts and minds, confident in our abilities, and determined to create a better tomorrow.Thank you.。

ted英文演讲稿（通用18篇）ted英文篇1What fear can teach us恐惧可以教会我们什么One day in 1819, 3,000 miles off the coast of Chile, in one of the most remote regions of the Pacific Ocean, 20 American sailors watched their ship flood with seawater.1820xx年的某一天，在距离智利海岸3000英里的地方，有一个太平洋上的最偏远的水域， 20名美国船员目睹了他们的船只进水的场面。
They'd been struck by a sperm whale, which had ripped a catastrophic hole in the ship's hull. As their ship began to sink beneath the swells, the men huddled together in three small whaleboats.他们和一头抹香鲸相撞，给船体撞了一个毁灭性的大洞。
当船在巨浪中开始沉没时，人们在三条救生小艇中抱作一团。
These men were 10,000 miles from home, more than 1,000 miles from the nearest scrap of land. In their small boats, they carried only rudimentary navigational equipment and limited supplies of food and water.这些人在离家10000万英里的地方，离最近的陆地也超过1000英里。
在他们的小艇中，他们只带了落后的导航设备和有限的食物和饮水。

Hello everyone , today is Wednesday .I 'm happy to see you .hello English is beginning now. I invite you to come in this part and play activity同学们，中午好，又和大家见面了，欢迎收听我们的校园英语广播。
很高兴在这里和你们度过短暂的午间时刻、在今天的节目里首先带给大家的一则校园励志新闻：无家可归女生考上哈佛靠当清洁工完成学业You don't run across a story this inspiring every day.下面这个励志故事可不是每天都能遇到。
Dawn Loggins, a North Carolina high school senior who was left homeless by her parents the summer before her senior year, is graduating tonight from Burns High School in Lawndale, NC.高三前那个暑假，北卡罗来纳州的高中生唐恩·洛金斯被父母遗弃，变得无家可归。
而今她即将从朗代尔的伯恩斯高中毕业了。
While that's quite the accomplishment, what comes next is truly amazing: Dawn is going to Harvard University in the fall.能顺利完成高中学业已经非常了不起，更喜人的是：今年秋天，唐恩就要在哈佛大学开始她的大学生活了。
Dawn grew up in a less-than-ideal situation, to say the least. Her house had no electricity or running water, so she was forced to do her homework in the dark and go days, even weeks, without showering. She lived with parents who abused drugs.可以说，唐恩的家庭环境很不尽人意。
她的父母都吸毒。
家里没电没水，她只能在昏暗光线下做功课；有时，她会连续几天甚或几周洗不上澡。
"We would get water jugs and fill them up at the park, using the spigots in the bathroom. And we would use that to flush the toilet or cook with. Stuff like that," she told CNN.“我们经常去公园洗手间灌水回家，然后用来做饭或冲马桶。
”她对CNN记者说道。
At Burns, Dawn was nominated and accepted to Governor's School, a one-month summer program in North Carolina for gifted high school juniors.在伯恩斯高中时，唐恩被推选参加了州长学校，这是北卡罗来纳州为优秀高中生设立的一月夏令营活动。
Dawn left for the program in June. She returned to Lawndale in July to find her house empty, with an eviction notice on the front door .Dawn was officially homeless.夏令营六月结束。
七月唐恩回到朗代尔，却意外发现家里已经人去楼空，大门封上了驱逐条。
唐恩真的无家可归了。
After learning she was homeless, employees at Burns helped her in any way they could. Sheryl Kolton, a custodian and bus driver at Burns, even let Dawn live at her house.得知这一情况后，伯恩斯的老师尽可能伸出了援手。
谢莉尔·考尔顿．．．．．．是伯恩斯的管理员兼校车司机，主动让唐恩住到了她家里。
Dawn didn't let her situation stop her drive to be successful. As a senior, she participated in typical high-school extracurricular activities at Burns: band club, photography club, cross-country and National Honor Society. She also started a program collecting letters for active military troops and worked as a janitor at Burns to earn extra money — all while making straight A's.尽管处境窘迫，唐恩并未轻言放弃。
在伯恩斯高中，她参加了多项课外活动：乐队俱乐部、摄影俱乐部、越野社团以及国家荣誉生社团。
而且，她还自办社团，为现役军人收发信件。
此外，她还在学校做些杂活儿赚取费用。
最骄傲的是，她每门功课都很出色。
And like any other bright high school senior, she decided to go to college.同其他优秀高中生一样，唐恩也打算报考大学。
"When I was younger, I was able to look at all the bad choices — at the neglect, and the drug abuse, and everything that was happening — and make a decision for myself that I was not going to end up like my parents, living from paycheck to paycheck," Dawn told CNN.“很小的时候，我就注意到了生活丑陋的一面——注意到那些被遗忘的人群、吸毒的人，以及各种困顿。
然后，我告诉自己——绝不能成为父母那样潦倒无为的人。
”唐恩告诉CNN 记者。
Dawn applied at four North Carolina schools and her dream school, Harvard. earlier this year, she got an acceptance letter from the league school. On top of being accepted, Dawn received a full scholarship to attend.唐恩共申请了4所北卡罗来纳州的大学，还有她梦寐以求的哈佛大学。
前不久，她如愿收到了这所常春藤名校的录取通知书。
更喜人的是，她还获得了全额奖学金。
CNN wrote that since Dawn's story has circulated worldwide, people have sent encouragement and money to the teen. Dawn doesn't want the money for herself, though.CNN报道说，现在唐恩的故事已家喻户晓，很多人纷纷祝福唐恩，甚至还寄了钱。
其实，唐恩并不需要人们捐钱给自己。
"When I get to college, I can work for what I need. And I know my future is going to be great," she told CNN. Dawn hopes to start an organization to help other students with similar barriers in continuing their education.她说：“上大学后，我可以靠勤工俭学赚取费用。
我相信未来会更顺利吧。
”唐恩打算创立一个组织，帮助其他有同样求学困境的学生。
下面是第二则社会新闻：广州拟禁止为未成年人整容和纹身According to a new proposal, Guangzhou minors will no longer be able to get either plastic surgery or tattoos.广州拟出台规定：禁止给未成年人做整容和纹身。
The proposed law is currently under formulation and will take effect in 2013, according to Peng Qu, director of the Community and Rights Department in the Guangzhou Committee of the Chinese Communist Youth League.广州团市委社区与权益工作部部长彭岖透露，该规定目前正在制订当中，已被列为2013年计划项目。
"Minors are going through a stage of growth and development and cosmetic surgery simply has a bad effect on teenage health. That is the biggest problem when they decide to get plastic surgery or tattoos," he said ."Moreover, their ideas, views and values can be easily distorted, which will then remain an obstacle throughout their lives."“未成年人正处于发育阶段，手术容易对青少年的身体造成不利影响，这也是未成年人进行整形和纹身手术最大的弊端；另一方面，这容易导致未成年人自身的人生观和价值观异态扭曲，这对他们今后一生的道路都有阻碍。
