小学21世纪英语演讲比赛演讲稿篇一：21世纪英语演讲比赛袁晓婷演讲稿!!The road not taken in lifeHola todos! Ahora vamos a empezar. el camino no selecionado en la vida. Ladies and gentlemen, I am a sophomore majoring in Spanish, but today I’m here standing on the stage of an English Competition. Should I be here Is this my arena Two years ago, when I was offered the privileged chance to pick my major, rather than choose the well-trodden path of English I chose the lonely road Spanish. Lonely you may ask Despite there being 400 million Spanish speakers in the world, a mere fraction of that number studies it in China.It’s very common that when students don’t know which major to choose in college, they choose English; when they want a better job, they pick up English, and when they want to master a foreign language, more often than not, it is English. Let’s be frank, people learn English for money. There is a perception that English is the path to a better life. But the law of supply and demand tells that if everyone supplies the same service the value of that service declines. So thosewho have taken a less traveled road, and have not followed the herd, may have the last laugh.We’ve seen this before. Think of all those students who decided to pursue law at the urgings of their parents, uncles or teachers. Where are they now Promised a world of opportunity upon completing their education, instead they are now struggling to find a position in their overcrowded field. Some have ended up turning to new paths as translators, or even butchers and fishmongers. Supply and demand strikes again!How about beyond education What are the paths that everyone takes Everyone rushes to buy a house and we are left with rising prices of homes and apartments that may be highly inflated. Everyone needs to purchase a car and we are left with traffic jams that last over a week! Everyone flocks to Xiangshan in the spring to look at the blooming flowers only to see the backs of other people’s heads. Too often people are sheep refusing to separate from the flock. They become nervous and uneasy when they step out of line. However, isn’t this sometimes necessary Why do we not buy a cheaper home in a smaller town Why do we not use publictransportation instead of worrying about a car Why do we not go see Sakura blossoms in Wuhan instead of the Fragrant Hills The pressure to travel with others is strong for it is always easier to go with the flow.We must learn to love the lonely path, not fear it. Not always is the popular path a safe one. There are always options. The road less traveled can be fun.Learning Spanish changes you. You become more colorful, more noisy, more gossipy, more outrageous, more daring. It is like having a personality I encourage people around me to take risks, not unlike entering an English Speaking competition as a Spanish Major. Even though I have chosen the less travelled road to learn Spanish, I am not restricted from detouring into English as I have today. I don’t dream about the road I didn’t take that so many of my friends did. We are lucky to have so many paths in front of us, but there is no single correct path for all of us. We must find our own way. Luckily my path is clear, Spanish is calling. Hasta la vista.篇二：21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛演讲稿目录第三届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军——梁励敏 (2)第三届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛亚军——芮成钢 (5)第四届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军——蔡力 ................................................

Crossing the SeaGood afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. The title of my speech today is "Crossing the Sea". An English poet by the name of Rudyard Kipling once wrote in his poem "We and They":"All the people like us are WeAnd everyone else is TheyWe live over the seaWhile They live over the wayWe eat pork and beef with cowhorn-handled knives They who gobble their rice off a leafAre horrified out of their lives."When these lines first caught my eyes, I was shocked-how could two peoples remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past Today's society, of course, is an entirely different picture. Those people who used to eat with cowhorn-handled knives might be very skillful in using chopsticks, and those people who used to gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.Indeed, just take China as an example: Our modern life has been influenced by Western style of living in so many ways that it's no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at McDonald's and even rather elderly people dressed in Apple Jeans.However, these are only some expressions of the cultural changes taking place in our society today. What is really going on is a subtle but significant restructuring of the nation's mentality. Just look around.How many college graduates are ready to compete aggressively for every job opportunity, whereas not long ago they were asked just to sit idle and wait for whatever was to be assigned to them by the government How many young people are now eager to seek for an independent life whereas only two decades ago they would rely totally on their parents to arrange for their future Ask anyone who participates in today's speech contest. Who has not come with a will to fight and who has not come determined to achieve self-fulfillment in winning the game And I'm quite certain that if Confucius had lived to see today's China, he would have been horrified to see young lovers kissing each other in public places in an ueserved expression of their passion.It is therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient Eastern civilization are already living under strong inf1uence of the Western culture. But it is not only in China that we find the incorporation of the two cultures.Take the United States as an example: During the 1980s,in face of the overwhelming competition fromJapan, many American companies such as the Ford began to adopt a teamwork management from their rivals, the essence of which, lay at the very core of Eastern culture.Take the Chinese acupuncture as another example: This traditional treatment of diseases is finally finding its way to the West and hence the underlying notion that illness is resulted from the imbalance between Yin and Yang within the body -- an idea which would strike any Westerner as incredible in the past!Ladies and Gentlemen, we live in a great epoch when the global integration of economy and the information revolution have brought cultures of the world closer than ever before. We live in a particular era when countries, East and West, find themselves in need of readjusting their traditional values. We live, at the same time, at a critical juncture of our evolution because such problems as ethnic conflicts and regional uest are increasingly posing a threat to the peace and happiness of the whole human race. To cope with such an era and to embrace an even brighterfuture, we need to learn to live more harmoniouslyin a world community which is becoming smaller and smaller.My dear fellow students, our command of the English language renders it possible for us to gain an insight into Western culture while retaining our own cultural identity.Therefore, it is our sacred responsibility to promote the cultural exchanges and hence the mutual understanding between China and the rest of the world.It is my happiest dream that the new generation of Chinese will not only grow up drinking Coca-Cola and watching Hollywood, but also be blessed with the far-reaching benefits of multiple cultures; benefits that our forefathers had never, ever dreamed of.To end my speech, I would like to quote Rudyard Kipling again:"All the people like us are WeAnd everyone else is TheyBut once you cross over the seaYou will end by looking on WeAs only a sort of They" Thank you.译文:穿越海洋女士们、先生们，晚上好。
