We Are The World, We Are The Future

Someone 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 always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be. We are all 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.

20xx年外研社杯英语演讲大赛

题目是一段视频主要内容是：

惠子谓庄子曰：“魏王贻我大瓠之种，我树之成，而实五石。以盛水浆，其坚不能自举也。剖之以为瓢，则瓠落无所容。非不呺然大也，吾为其无用而掊之。”庄子曰：“夫子固拙于用大矣。宋人有善为不龟手之药者，世世以洴澼絖为事。客闻之，请买其方百金。聚族而谋曰：‘我世世为洴澼絖，不过数金，今一朝而鬻技百金，请与之。’客得之，以说吴王。越有难，吴王使之将，冬，与越人水战，大败越人。裂地而封之。能不龟手一也，或以封，或不免于洴澼絖，则所用之异也。今子有五石之瓠，何不虑以为大樽，而浮于江湖，而忧其瓠落无所容？则夫子犹有蓬之心也夫！”

白话文翻译是：

惠子对 庄子说：“魏王送我大葫芦种子，我将它培植起来后，结出的果实有五石容积。用大葫芦去盛水浆，可是它的坚固程度承受不了水的压力。把它剖开做瓢，但它又平又浅的，装不了什么东西。这个葫芦不是不大呀，我因为它没有什么用处而砸烂了它。”庄子说：“先生实在是不善于使用大东西啊！宋国有一善于调制不皲手药物的人家，世世代代以漂洗丝絮为职业。有个游客听说了这件事，愿意用百金的高价收买他的药方。全家人聚集在一起商量：‘我们世世代代在河水里漂洗丝絮，所得不过数金，如今一下子就可卖得百金。还是把药方卖给他吧。’游客得到药方，来游说吴王。正巧 越国发难，吴王派他统率部队，冬天跟越军在水上交战，大败越军，吴王划割土地封赏他。能使手不皲裂，药方是同样的，有的人用它来获得封赏，有的人却只能靠它在水中漂洗丝絮，这是使用的方法不同。如今你有五石容积的大葫芦，怎么不考虑用它来制成腰舟，而浮游于江湖之上，却担忧葫芦太大无处可容？看来先生你还是心窍不通啊！” 我写的演讲稿：（演讲时间为2-3分钟）

Change The Unchangeable—You Will When You Believe

Good evening, ladies and gentleman! It’s my great honor to be here giving this speech to you. Thank you so much. My topic of the speech is change the unchangeable-you will when you believe!

You may often hear this when it comes to keeping a positive attitude towards your daily life, ‘‘change the changeable, and accept the unchangeable.” Of course, this is an easy way to avoid panic when meeting with difficult situations. However, I am going to share with you a totally different opinion about dealing with obstacles and having a successful life. That is, change the unchangeable, and you will when you believe.

Hello, everybody!

It is my great pleasure to stand here and share my idea on learning with you all today.

With the rapid development of the modern science and technology, learning is becoming a very common behavior among people of different age or with different color. In English, there is a famous saying said that it is never too old to learn. This idea is becoming more and more popular among people in China and also inspiring more and more Chinese people to achieve their goal and better their life.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My topic today is “Environment is my top concern”. When talking about Environment, what’s the first thing that has come to your mind? Is it the Copenhagen climate change conference, or the Gulf Oil Spill, or the leak of toxic sludge in Hungary？ Different people may have different answers.

Let’s check out how serious the environmental situation is in the world. Recent years have seen an increasing number of reports on the extinction of species, soil erosion as well as air pollution. The history of industrialization and urbanization has been a history of declining environmental quality. We may be satisfied with our so called modern life, but please do not turn a blind eye to what’s happened around us. Water is polluted. Animals are killed. Resources are devoured. And farmlands turn into desserts.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen; my topic today is “Walls and Bridges”. I’m studying in a city famous for its city walls. All visitors to my city are amazed by the imposing sight of the city walls, silhouetted by the setting sun with gold and shining lines. With cold, cracked bricks patched with lichen. The walls are weather-beaten guards, standing still for centuries in protecting the century. Our ancestors liked to build walls. They built walls in Beijing, Xi’an, Nanjing and many other cities and they built the Great Wall, which snakes through half of our country. They built walls to ward off the enemies and evil spirits. This tradition has been maintained to this day as we still have many schools and parks walled off the public. I grew up at the foot of the city walls and I have loving them since my childhood. For a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world. My perception 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?” “We’re 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 the Eastern Suburbs was one of the many places in China that had no walls. That
