清华大学曹丰的英语演讲稿

第11届21世纪杯全国英语演讲比赛第一名，来自香港，就读于清华大学曹丰的英语演讲稿：Our Future: A Battle between Dreams And Reality。2005年，19岁的曹丰以优异的成绩从香港皇仁书院毕业免试进入清华大学读书，2009年，他又如愿留在清华继续攻读国际法专业的研究生。

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:

When I was in the primary school, I have a dream. I want to invent a device which could bring you from one place to another in no time at all. When I was in the secondary school, my dream was to study in my ideal university. And when eventually I got into the university, my dream was to graduate.

How pathetic! When we grow up, we dream less And become more realistic. Why? 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 when we believe that the reality is not real can we soar with our dreams.

People say that our future is a battle between the reality And our dreams. And if, unfortunately, Mr. Reality wins this war, then I see no future of mankind at all. AIDS will never be curable as this IS the reality; People living 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 already fulfilled your dream And that you don't 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 unrealistic.

Now that I am a university student, my goal is to graduate with 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 happy living 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.

评委提问及选手问答：

主持人：Thank you.

曹丰：Thank you.

问题：Now in the age of the Internet,reading books does not seem as

important as it once was.Do you think people can learn as much on the Internet as they can by reading books?Which method do you prefer?

回答：Thank you very much.And hello again ladies and

gentlemen.Actually,I don't really agree with the first sentence of this topic:"In the age of the Internet,reading books does not seem as important as it was once."Why?Why is it the case?Why is it the situation,ladies and gentlemen?Actually,Internet or books are just like tea or coffee.They are similar,but they are different.Unibersity students nowdays love to use the Internet to search for information when they are working with their essays.Like,last semester,when I was working with my physics essay,I logged into Google and I searched for "NEWTON" and all the laws and theories of Newton just popped out and I can choose whichever one I like to use.But when I walked into the library,all the books came out and I have to choose which one to read.How inconvenient!Maybe you can say at this moment,"Oh,Internet is better,books no use."So I have to use Internet,right?But let's see the things in another way.I love traveling a lot and I love to bring a book with me.And I love to read my Da Vinci Code when I was having my trip on a bus or on a

ship.Actually,whenever it is,wherever you go,whatever you are doing,you can take out a book and read if you feel like doing so.Now who will bother to take a laptop and switch it on,and search for the Internet connection,and look for stories to read.How inconvenient!So at this very moment I think it's quite dangerous for me,because I think I'm unable to answer the question in the topic"Which method do you prefer,Internet or books?"because I love the feeling of conjuring a hundred pages of Harry Potter,more than scrolling down the screen;but at the same time I love the feeling of searching the things,the speed of my searching for things on the Internet,more than wasting my time in the library.So in this age of Internet,in this age of modernization,in this age of civilization,why do you have to force someone to choose between internet and books?I prefer using both of them.Thank you very much.

be unrealistic dreamers(Thank you) and not surrender to

Mr.Reality.(hehe..) With the traffic jam getting worse--especially in big cities--I'm actually very interested in your childhood dream:To invent a device that can move people around easily.Is this still your dream?If not,why do you give it up?Is it because it is considered

unrealistic?Thank you.

回答：Thank you very much.This is not my dream now.Not because it

is (not), realistic.Maybe you can say it's unrealistic.But if I,my interest is still inventing this device,I will keep on trying my best to invent this decive.My changing of my dreams is because of the fact that I realized my interest does not lie in science.Now I am a law school student.But last semester,as I've just mentioned,I was working on my physics essay paper and actually last semester I was a student in the school of aerospace.Oh my god,aerospace!And I've changed my major to law school.And so the changing of my dream is actually because of the fact that I realize my interest lies in,maybe communicating with others,or having interactions with the

others.Science is very fantastic,but it's not my piece of cake.Yes,so that's the reason.Thank you very much.

问题：Thank you very much for your speeches.Talding about Internet,I

just want to know your view.Do you believe everything is ture on the Internet?If not,why not?

回答：Thank you very much.I don't believe everything is true in the

Internet.This is a straight forward answer.And if not,why not?Because I don't believe them.And I have an experience of meeting someone on the Internet who claims to be a girl.Yes and,a very sad,sorry story for me.But yes,for this reason,I think I don't believe that everything on the Internet is true.But I will try my best to discover if that was true or not,or that was falsified or not.Thank you very much.

were talking about dreams being realistic or unrealistic and your current dream is to graduate from law school.But what is your realistic or unrealistic dream after that?What do you want to use your graduation in law for?

回答：Thank you very much.Actually,my dream,as mentioned in the

last part of my speech,is to share my feelings,share my dreams with the globe.And when all the people in this Earth have my dream,they will work hard for the social betterment,I believe in that.So after I've graduated from law school,I think I will try my best to persuade the others to,to accept my dream,and that is exactly why I am here.I am here trying to persuade you all,I think you all,after listening to my speech,hopefully,you can try to understand my dream and that we are all a member of the global village,and we have to try our best to work hard for the social betterment of all.This is why I want to

be,saying,speaking something here,and that is my goal--or realistic or unrealistic dream after I've graduated.I think I will try my best to du what I've said before.Thank you very much.

莫迪清华大学英文演讲稿

莫迪清华大学英文演讲稿 I particularly like the old Chinese saying--If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if you think in terms of ten years, plant trees; if you think in terms of 100 years, teach the people. In India, too, the ancient saying is vyaye krate vardhate eva nityam, vidhya dhanam sarva dhan pradhanam. The wealth that increases by giving. That wealth is knowledge and is supreme of all possessions. This is one example of how our two nations are united in their timeless wisdom. 中国有句古话说得非常好：“一年之计，莫如树谷;十年之计，莫如树木;终身之计，莫如树人。”在印度也有同样的说法，“财富的增长源于给予，财富就是知识，高于一切身外之物。”知识这种财富是随着你的给予而越来越多的，当所有人都拥有时就达到了极致。这是我们两国之间永恒智慧统一的实例。 I began my journey in China in Xi'an. In doing so, I retraced the footsteps of the Chinese monk Xuanzang.He travelled to India from Xi'an in the seventh century in search of knowledge and returned to Xi'an as a

美国总统布什清华大学英语演讲稿

President Bush: Vice Presid ent Hu, thank you for your words of wel come. I am grateful for your hospitality, and honored by this reception at one of China's great universities. Tsinghua University was founded, with the support of America, to further the ties between our two nations. I know how important this place is to the Vice Presid ent, who earned his degree here and even more important, met his gracious wife Liu Yongqing here. I also thank the students here for this opportunity to meet with you, to talk a little bit about my country and answer some of your questions. The standards and reputation of this university are known around the worl d, and I know what an achievement it is to be here. My wife Laura and I have two daughters in college, one at Yal e and the other at the University of Texas. We are proud of our daughters just like I am sure your parents are proud of you. My visit to China comes on an important anniversary. Thirty years ago this week, an American President arrived in China on a trip designed to end decades of estrangement and confront centuries of suspicion. President Richard Nixon showed the worl d that two vastly different governments could meet on the grounds of common interest, and in a spirit of mutual respect. As they left the airport that day, Premier Zhou Enlai said to President Nixon, ``Your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the worl d twenty-five years of no communication.''During the 30 years since, America and China have exchanged many handshakes of friendship and comm erce. And as we have had more contact with each other, the citizens of our two countries have gradually learned more about each other. Once, America knew China only by its history as a great and enduring civilization. Today, we see a China that is still defined by noble traditions of family, scholarship, and honor. And we see a China that is becoming one of the most dynamic and creative societies in the worl d as demonstrated by all the knowledge and potential right here in this room. China is on a rising path, and America wel comes the emergence of a strong, peaceful, and prosperous China. As America learns more about China, I am concerned that the Chinese people d o not always see a cl ear picture of my country. This happens for many reasons, some of them of our own making. Our movies and tel evision shows often d o not portray the values of the real America I know. Our successful businesses show the strength of American commerce, but the community spirit and contributions of those businesses are not always as visible as their monetary success. Some of the erroneous pictures of America are painted by others. My friend, the Ambassad or to China, tells me that some Chinese textbooks talk of Americans ``bullying the weak and repressing the poor.'' Another Chinese textbook, published just last

北京市清华大学中学生标准学术能力诊断性测试2020年11月测试高三英语试题

中学生标准学术能力诊断性测试2020年11月测试英语试卷本试卷共150分，考试时间100分钟。第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）第一节（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C 和D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Autumn is great for European walking: paths are mud-free, temperatures are mild, crowds are few and beautiful colors abound. The following are four European adventures to walk your way through autumn. The unknown Cilento South of Italy’s Amalfi Coast hides a much less discovered wonderland. Af ter stopping to view the marvelous Greek temple remains at Paestum, Sherpa’s next destination concentrates on the Cilento National Park —first following its rugged seashore past the occasional myrtle grove (小树林), and sandy beach, then leaving modernity behind and venturing inland to medieval (中世纪的) hilltop towns. Home-cooked dinners conclude exciting days of goat tracks and ghost villages before a scenic path leads back to the seaside. Four nights ￡630 half board, including transport, luggage transfers and walking notes. Last departure October 31. Turkish delights Follow an impressive section of Turkey’s expansive Lycian Way, gradually moving from cliffs to coastline. You’ll begin in pine-filled peaks, typically on shaded paths to sea views, and stop at both a pool-boasting upscale hotel and one of the Yanartas region’s ever-burning flames —possibly fueled by a monster below. A fine fish restaurant comes next, then a mile-long sandy beach ahead of two days on lonely Cape Gelidonya, finishing by its lighthouse. Six nights ￡790, including ten other meals, transport, luggage transfers and walking notes. Last departure in early November. Carpathian clambers Poland and Slovakia are separated by the Carpathian Mountains and their large forest-filled valleys.Starting and ending in Krakow, this trip covers both countries. Some days include the option of climbing to snowy peaks or taking easier, lower-altitude options, and you’ll likely meet the Gorals —a culturally-distinct group known as “highlanders”. Most memor able activity will be walking along the 300m-high Dunajec River to spa town Szczawnica. Seven nights ￡630, including transport, luggage transfers and walking notes. Last departure October 24. Flowers and feta Greece’s Pelion Peninsula is a place known as the “Land of the Centaurs (人首马身的怪物)” for its association with the mythological horse-human hybrids. Between villages of whitewashed, flower-decorated stone houses, walkers can follow old paths onto mountainsides, and wander through olive groves or beside the glittering Aegean Sea. Some days yield swimming opportunities, and others the chance to recharge in a local pub of some bean soup and feta-cheese bread. Seven nights ￡535, including transport, luggage transfers and walking notes. Last departure October 23. 1．What can you do when you are in the unknown Cilento? A．Swim in a pool. B．Have a spa. C．Explore medieval towns. D．Walk through olive groves. 2．Which destination is your best choice if you intend to travel to Europe after October? A．Turkey. B．Cilento. C．Greece. D．Krakow.

2020届清华大学中学生标准学术能力诊断性测试高三5月测试英语试题+Word版

中学生标准学术能力诊断性测试2020 年 5 月测试英语试卷本试卷共150 分，考试时间100 分钟。第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分60 分）第一节（共15 小题；每小题3 分，满分45 分） A Summer is that time of this year 2019 when everyone looks to escape from the boring activities of life. So bring your kids to join us to have fun in the summer camp. Outdoor Word Game: All you need to do is setting up many huge letters that can be easily moved. These letters will help kids spell out certain words. Teenagers would also love something like this as it gives them the opportunity to invest their time in learning new words. Spray Painting: To bring out the creativity in a person, an activity centered on spray painting is the perfect way to get those creative juices flowing. All you need to do is providing plain white T-shirts and some cans of colored spray paint. It will be quite surprising to see some of the original ideas that will flow from individuals. Outdoor Twister: A person will be in charge of monitoring the game and will call out colors which can be placed outdoors. Participants have the task of placing either their hands or legs on the same color. A fun and exciting game focuses on hand-eye coordination（协调）. The Maze（迷宫）: One of the funniest games is the hallway maze game where a maze is constructed from either toilet paper or strings of paper. The chosen participant is then asked to make his way through the maze within a limited time without touching paper. This is one of the best and entertaining summer camp ideas for kids and adults also. 1.Which activity most probably needs some imagination? A．Outdoor Word Game. B．Spray Painting. C．Outdoor Twister. D．The Maze. 2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.The maze is made of toilet paper in The Maze. B.You have to spray juice on your T-shirt in Spray Painting. C.Outdoors Twister tests whether you are good at controlling your body movement. D.You have to bring some huge letters to play in Outdoor Word Games. 3.Who is the article intended for? A.Parents. B．Children. C．Teachers. D．Teenagers. B What makes a person sexy? Looks, talent, public image and how we accordingly view their personality all play into why we find ourselves attracted to certain celebrities and public figures. Every year, People put it all together when they name their “Sexies t Man Alive”. This year, the magazine decided that United States musician John Roger Stephens, better known as John Legend, has the full package. The title comes following some impressive achievements for the 40-year-old. He is among the youngest people to win an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award, and the first African-American man to win all four of them. With numerous awards and nominations, an Ivy-League degree, and a handsome face, Legend has gained huge popularity worldwide. However, his dedication to family life maybe what wins over many. After getting married to US model Chrissy Teigen in 2013, Legend is the father of one son and one daughter. He’s not shy about telling the world their love is permanent. On the inside of Legend’s arm, there is a tattoo that says “Chrissy Luna Miles”, the names of his wife and children. In fact, Legend has gained strength from his family since childhood. He still remembers the days when his family would gather around his grandmother’s piano to sing Christmas songs. This inspired his passion for music. His best-known single, All of Me, is a love song to his wife. When he performed it at the 2014 Grammy Awards, many were touched by his delicate voice and the deep love beneath. “The more you know someone, the more you’re inspired by your relationship,” Legend told LA Confidential Magazine. “You have to grow enough to be able to write that song with sincerity and authenticit y.” Despite his onstage confidence, Legend had to work to become a legend. As a teenager, he was the smallest kid in class. “I was always less mature, less at ease socially. I had plenty of awkward times,” he told People. “Most of your teenage years, into your twenties, you’re still figuring out who you are, how you present yourself to the world ... Eventually, I think you get more at ease with yourself.” Indeed, knowing who you are and be yourself could be the real key to attractiveness. 4.What plays the biggest part in making Legend popular worldwide? A．High-level education. B．Handsome look. C．Efforts put in family. D．Talent in music. 5.What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A.Legend’s hobby as a boy. B.Legend’s family members.
