第23届二十一世纪杯全国冠军演讲稿中文版

第23届二十一世纪杯全国冠军演讲稿中文版我很幸运,参加了第23届二十一世纪杯全国新概念作文大赛。

它让我明白:自信是成功的前提;不断学习、积累知识才能进步;要有足够的耐心等待机会……我以后还将更努力地写好作文!对于中国的古典诗词和散文来说,我已经写得相当好了,因为我觉得那些古人所留下来的东西并非只像现代人这样在“背”书本上记下的知识,也并非简单化地看其要点就可以应用于生活。

甚至由于受传统思想根深蒂固的影响许多写古典诗词或者散文的人都没办法做到将古人流传下来的精华部分发扬光大,使之变成一种艺术品,但是我们却无法否认他们对中国古典文化的贡献。

从另外一个角度来讲,那些古人在写这些东西的时候肯定有着比较丰富的生活阅历,他们总结出来的道理也必然具备一定的实际意义,同时他们的写作风格也各有千秋,他们通过写作表达出来的感情也值得我们学习借鉴。

时间是飞逝而去的,又如长江般奔腾不息,永远向前冲刺。

面临即将到来的高考,我开始准备迎接挑战,给自己树立目标。

在我眼里,学习是件快乐的事,正因为如此,我喜欢把自己的学习经验拿出来与大家共享。

虽然,我们的教育制度仍存在一些弊端,但不管怎么样,还是希望老师、家长及社会能重视孩子的健康成长,尤其是我们青少年,我们肩负着建设祖国的重任,需要有坚强的毅力和顽强拼搏的精神,我们需要刻苦钻研,勇攀科学高峰,努力掌握科学知识,培养创造能力。

最近几天,老师让我们练习一篇文章——《自然界中的规律》,这是一篇介绍自然界中的规律的短文,内容主要围绕着一句话“物极必反”展开论述,我的观点是,万事万物均有两面性,我们应该辩证地看问题。

例如,有人认为月亮圆缺有利于人类居住,因为它象征着团圆美满;也有人认为它晦暗,象征着死亡恐怖。

我则持有相反的观点,因为它的阴晴圆缺恰恰预示着月球离地球越来越远,说明地球的引力减弱,空气质量逐渐降低,地震频繁发生,海啸来袭等。

所以,凡事都应该有一个度,过犹不及啊!所谓过犹不及,指的是处理某种事物时,超过了这种事物本身所能承担的限度,就会产生相反的效果。

第18届中国日报社“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军吴柏德参赛讲稿

第18届中国日报社“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军吴柏德参赛讲稿演讲稿:I was seventeen, almost a senior in high school. I was riding my bike to school. I had taken a special route to pick up a gift, but that day, "the road less traveled by" led to disaster. Crossing a road, a drunk driver ran a red light, slammed into me, and shattered my left knee.It made all the difference.I was forced to postpone college, plunged into painful therapy . . . but eventually, I also learned much about life and myself. I found the strength to withstand adversity, learned compassion, and above all, I learned that the road not taken is not just about regrets or choices but also about the perpetual now and the always-coming future.When I first studied Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” in middle school, I was unable to grasp its ambiguity. I always thought that Frost’s persona chooses “a road less traveled by” and lives life being subversive and irreverent. I was wrong. In the poem, both of the two roads that “diverged in a yellow wood” are actually “about the same.” But there has to be a choice, and sometimes, they it can be involuntary (as I learned the hard way). This makes me extremely thankful and resolute when I can make conscious choices and plan for the future, and so I know now that Frost's poem is also about "the road not [yet] taken."For everyone, this means something slightly different. For me, it means constant vigilance, learning, and love. Our journey is hard, complex, and it often presents unexpected twists, but reflecting on the roads not taken and not yet taken each day gives us a little more strength and confidence. Life cannot and will not me perfect, and the truth is it will end. But as Willa Cather would say, “The end is nothing, the road is all.” The road not taken in the past, and the road not yet taken that lies ahead.But about the present? It joints the past and the future. What then, is“the road not taken” in the perpetual now? Personally, I find an answer in these lines from Alfred Lord Tennyson’s “Ulysses”:Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and thoughWe are not now that strength which in old daysMoved earth and heaven; that which we are, we areOne equal temper of heroic hearts,Made weak by time and fate, but strong in willTo strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.Thank you.。

第三届全国英语演讲比赛冠军作品

第三届全国英语演讲比赛冠军作品

第三届全国英语演讲比赛冠军作品Title: Embracing ChangeLadies and gentlemen, esteemed judges, and fellow contestants,Good afternoon. It is truly an honor to be standing before you today as the champion of the 3rd National English Speech Competition. I am grateful for this opportunity to share my thoughts on a topic that holds great significance in the world we live in – embracing change.Change is an inevitable part of life. We can resist it or we can embrace it, but it will happen regardless. Many of us fear change because it takes us out of our comfort zones and challenges our sense of stability. However, when we open ourselves up to change, we open ourselves up to endless possibilities and opportunities for growth.I would like to share a personal story that illustrates the transformative power of embracing change. Several years ago, I found myself stuck in a monotonous routine.I had a stable job, comfortable living conditions, and a predictable lifestyle. Yet, deep down, I felt unfulfilled. It was as if I was merely existing, rather than truly living.One day, I made the brave decision to quit my job and embark on a new adventure.I enrolled in a foreign language program in a foreign country, hoping to challenge myself in ways I had never experienced before. It was a daunting prospect, leaving behind everything familiar, but I knew that change was necessary for my personal growth.The journey was not easy. I faced language barriers, cultural differences, and moments of doubt. However, every challenge I encountered made me stronger and more resilient. It was through embracing change that I discovered a passion for learning, a love for exploring new cultures, and a newfound sense of purpose.Change can bring about positive transformations not only in our personal lives but also in society as a whole. It is through change that societies progress, innovate, and evolve. Think about the technological advances that have revolutionized our world - from the invention of the telephone to the development of the internet. These changes have reshaped the way we communicate, work, and live our lives.In today's rapidly changing world, it is essential that we embrace change rather than resist it. We must be adaptable, open-minded, and willing to learn from new experiences. Instead of fearing the unknown, we should view it as an opportunity for growth and self-improvement.To conclude, change is inevitable, and we cannot control it. What we can control, however, is our response to it. By embracing change, we open ourselves up to new possibilities, experiences, and personal growth. Let us embrace change with open arms and strive to make positive contributions to our society and the world at large.Thank you.。

we are the world,we are the futuresomeone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book,whose pages are infinite”. i don’t know who wrote these words, but i’ve alwaysliked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be. we areall in the position of the farmers. if we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest.if we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all. we are young. “how to spend the youth” it is a meaningful question. to answerit, first i have to ask “what do you understand by the word youth” youth is nota time of life, it’s a state of mind. it’s not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lipsor supple knees. it’s the matter of the will. it’s the freshness of the deep springof life.a poet said “to see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower,hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. several days ago,i had a chance to listen to a lecture. i learnt a lot there. i’d like to share itwith all of you. let’s show our right palms. we can see three lines that show howour love, career and life is. i have a short line of life. what about yours i wonderedwhether we could see our future in this way. well, let’s make a fist. where is ourfuture where is our love, career, and life tell , it is in our hands. itis held in ourselves.we all want the future to be better than the past. but the future can go betteritself. don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened. from the past, we’ve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher. we’ve learnt that we can’t choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it. failure doesn’t mean you don’t have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way. failure doesn’t meanyou should give up, it does mean you must try what i said at the beginning, “we are reading the first verse of the firstchapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. the past has gone. nothing we do willchange it. but the future is in front of us. believe that what we give to the world,the world will give to us. and from today on, let’s be the owners of ourselves, andspeak out “we are the world, we are the future.”参考译文世界是我们的,未来是我们的一些人说“我们正在读一本无穷的书中的第一章的第一节。

why do we have to change our dreams, so, so in order to let it be fulfilled? why do we have to surrender to the so-called reality? what is the reality actually?ladies and gentlemen, the reality is not real. it is a barrier keeping us from all the possible fantasies. flying, for example, had been a dream to mankind for thousands of years. a hundred years ago, man could not fly was still regarded as the reality. now if that was really the reality, what did the wright brothers do? how did some of you get to macau? only whenwe believe that the reality is not real can we soar with our dreams.in the undeveloped countries will suffer from starvation forever as this is the reality; 4) disputes among different countries would never be settled as this misunderstandings and intolerance is the reality.ladies and gentlemen, how many of you have a dream of being able to make a lot of money? please raise your hands. oh, quite a number of you! actually, ladies and gentlemen, this is not a dream, but a task. every one of us has to make a living, right? anyway i hope your task will be accomplished. how many of you think that you have alreadyfulfilled your dream and that you dont dream anymore? dear 5) adjudicators, what do you think? c.s. lewis once said, you are never too old to dream a new dream. so for our future, please dream and be uealistic.now that i am a university student, my goal is to graduatewith excellences. but at the same time, i have a dream deeply rooted in our future. one day, people living in the areas now 6) sweltering with the horror of wars will be able to sit with their families and enjoy their every moment. one day, people from the rich countries are willing to share what they have with those from the poor countries and those from the poor countries will eventually be able to make their own happyliving themselves. one day, different cultures in this age of globalization will coexist with tolerance and the unfriendly confrontations among them will be 7) eliminated. one day, the globe will share the dream with me and we will all contribute to making our dream come true. one day, our dream will defeat the reality! thank you very much.演讲稿from walls to bridgesim studying in a city famous for its walls. all visitors to mycity are amazed by the imposing sight of the city walls, silhouetted by the setting sun with gold and shining lines. with old, cracked bricks patched with lichen, the walls are weather-beaten guards, standing still for centuries in protecting the city. our ancestors liked to build walls. they built walls in beijing, xian, nanjing and many other cities, and they built the great wall, which snakes through half of our country. they built walls to ward off enemies and evil spirits. this tradition has been maintained to this day as we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public. i grew up at the foot of the city walls, and ive loved them since my childhood. for a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world.my perception, however, changed after a hiking trip to the eastern suburbs, a scenic area of my city. my classmates and i were walking with some international students. as we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by taller and taller trees, which formed a huge canopy above our heads. suddenly an international student asked me, where is the entrance to the eastern suburbs?were already in the eastern suburbs, i replied.he seemed taken aback, i thought you chinese have walls for everything. his remark set off a heated debate. at one point, he likened our walled cities to jails, while i insisted that theeastern suburbs were one of the many places in china that had no walls.that debate had no winners, but i did learn a lot from thisinternational student. for instance, he told me that universities like oxford and cambridge were not surrounded by walls; the campuses were just part of the cities. i have to admit that we do have many walls in china, and as we are developing our country, we mustcarefully examine them, whether they are physical or intangible. we【篇二:21世纪杯全国英语演讲比赛冠军演讲稿】21世纪杯全国英语演讲比赛冠军演讲稿facing this audience on the stage, i have the exciting feeling of participating in the march of history, for what we are facing today is more than a mere competition or contest. it is an assembly of some of chinas most talented and motivated people, representatives of a younger generation that are preparing themselves for the coming of a new century.im grateful that ive been given this opportunity, at such ahistoric moment, to stand here as a spokesman of my generation and to take a serious look back at the past 15 years, a crucial period for every one of us and for this nation as well. though it is only within my power to tell about my personal experience, and only a tiny fragment of it at that, it stillrepresents, i believe, the root of a spirit which has been essential to me and to all the people bred by the past 15 years. in my elementary years, there was a little girl in the class who worked very hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons.the teacher asked me to help her, and it was obvious that she expected a lot from me. but as a young boy, restless, thoughtless, i always tried to evade her so as to get more time to enjoy myself. one day before the final exam, she came up to me and said, couldyou please explain this to me?

第23届中国日报社“21世纪•可口可乐杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军臧英杰参赛讲稿
臧英杰:曲阜师范大学选手,第二十三届中国日报社“21世纪•可口可乐杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军,最具潜力奖。

On March 14th, 2018, professor Stephen William Hawking passed away. His contribution to inflationary cosmology has forever shifted our understanding of the universe. He wasn’t just a physicist for England, but for all mankind. His death marks the end of an era. He has passed the baton to a new generation of minds, to a new era. The exploration of nature waits for no man. So, are we ready to embrace the new era and new challenges?
When I was a kid, professor Hawking was known to me as the author of A Brief History of Time. I bought a lot of science books back then, but they were really difficult to understand. Whenever I stumbled, I would turn to my physics teacher for help. We would go through pages and pages of materials together, whether it was middle school stuff or Feynman’s lecture from Caltech, sometimes hours on end. I felt like we were tearing off the mask of nature and staring at the face of god. It was his guidance that encouraged me to study physics today. We’re living in an era in which science is embedded in people’s lives. From teachers who pass on knowledge, to construction workers who build labs; from organizations that provide funding, to scientists who conduct research, we all contribute to science in our own unique ways. We the people say we’re ready.
On October 5th, 2015, China finally had its first Nobel Prize in natural science. Ms. Tu Youyou’s work and her receiving the most prestigious science award made us proud. We’re living in an era in which China is building some of the best research projects and institutions worldwide. Just a month ago, Professor Zhang Miman won the UNESCO for Women in Science Award, making her the fifth Chinese recipient of this honor. A week after that, The Economist referred to China as “a continent-sized rapidly growing economy with a culture of scientific inquiry”. Physicist and vice president of the Chinese Academy of Science, Dr. Zhang Jie stated, “China now has the most accurate, sufficient and largest amount of data; China has the highest, fastest and best ability of data analysis. The Chinese government will be strongly pushing for the sharing and utilization of data resources.” We as a country say we’re ready.
Science is an immortal topic of mankind. We’ve come this far because we’ve learned to work together and let the ideas evolve. The dispute over the completeness of quantum mechanics, for example, was resolved in the 5th Solvay conference, attended by 29 physicists from 10 different countries who have won 15 Nobel Prizes combined. That was almost 100 years ago. Now we’re living in an era in which information is transmitted at the speed of light, in which “International cooperation” is not just a slogan anymore, especially to the scientific community. Chinese Academy of Science now has 47 partners overseas. The International Council for Science now includes 122 national members, 23 scientific associates and 31 scientific unions. The facilities of the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN,
are available to over 600 universities and institutes around the globe. We, the world, are more than ready.
We’re all made of particles that have existed since the beginning of the universe, I’d like to believe those particles traveled through countless eras to create us, so that we, the people, China, and the world, can stand on the shoulders of giants, march into the new era with our head held high, and make people like Professor Hawking proud.。
