good morning,dear teacher and my friends.

it’s a very intresting topic today.

i think my dad was a hero for me when i was a young child. we'd go fishing, walks, and other fun things for a kid.

every child has a good and great father, and so do i. my dad played a very important role in my daily life`````exactly speaking, in my past 16 years.

my father always stands in the center of my life， from past till now and possibly in the future.

my family was rather poor when i was in my childhood. we didn't have our own house and had to live in a shabby， small room rented from my father's factory. the room was so small that there was little space for people to walk. i didn't have my own bed and had to sleep with my parents. this is terrible both for my parents and me.

but father made this all different！he works very hard on his own business, now we have our own 2 housese,surly,i have my own room.and he take our family so much happiness, richer and richer.

when i was little, i did everything with my dad. you could always find me sitting on his knee or walking and doing everything with him. every night he would read me a bed time story and make the voices of each character.

i learnt a lot from my daddy. i learnt to never take things to seriously and to always smile.

like many other fathers, my dad and i also has generation gap. he is not good at or even can’t work the computer. so when i sitting at the computer desk,he will say something like ‘you should pay more attention to your study’, ‘don’t waste time on the computer games’ , ‘it will be bad for your eyes’ and so on. how can i- a computer fan – reduce time on computer? so i continue studying and playing on it

years pasted, my father is over 45 now. it is time for me to look after him and i am sure i will do and we will live an even better life. and i will say,i really love you dad,cause you are the hero in my mind.

thank you so much!

高中生英语演讲稿 To choose, To give up

To choose, To give up

A poet leads me to a branch road: on one side, there are lots of sweet

apples, lovely and charming; on the other, there is a patch of thorn, what

hides behind the success of struggling against the thorn is a splendid

palace. I deeply know that if I choose the apples, I will give up a

precious opportunity of becoming a queen; While if I choose to challenge,

I have to say farewell to the apples. Which one should I choose?

Just like the branch road, we have to make a lot of choices during our

lifetime. It is usually considered that we are choosing what to gain, to

own, but in my opinion, we are just choosing to give up.

Choosing to be a teacher means giving up the life as rich as a business

man;

Choosing to be a top student means giving up much leisure time in front

of the TV.

Sure, it’s a torture, but we must judge carefully what is more

important, then give up the others. Don’t think of them any more, just

focus all your spirit on what you are doing.

I myself, who is standing here, have already chosen to challenge in such

a great competition, so I have to give up ten days of normal classes in

school and relaxation without pressure. But I am still pleased, because

giving up properly makes me stick to my choice.

Let’s return to our branch road, which one will your choose? I choose to

challenge here!

理性选择，敢于放弃

一位诗人把我引到一个岔路口：一边是甘甜的苹果，鲜艳而诱人；另一边是一条荆棘之路，但隐藏在与荆棘搏斗的成功之后是一座富丽的宫殿。我深深地明白：如果我选择那些苹果，我将失去一个可能成为女王的良机，与此同时，如果我选择挑战那些荆棘，那会很艰辛，而且我又必须与可爱的苹果告别，我该选择哪一个呢？

正如这个岔路口一般，生活中的我们面临多种选择。人们通常认为，我们在选择去获得什么，拥有什么，但在我看来，我们在选择放弃什么。

选择作一名老师意味着放弃了像商人一样奢华富有的生活。

选择作一名顶尖学生意味着放弃了许多在电视机前的闲暇时间。

当然，放弃的选择是一种苦难，但我们必须用心审度，什么对自己来说更为重要，做出选择，然后放弃其他，不要再回首想那些已放弃的东西，把精力集中于你正在做的事。

站在这里的我，已选择了在这样大规模的比赛中挑战自我，所以我必须放弃十天的正常功课和没有压力的轻松感。但我依然高兴，因为适宜的放弃之后，我更加专注于自己的选择。

让我们回到那个岔路口吧，你会选择哪一个呢？我，选择挑战此地！ 星沙英语网

高中学生英语演讲稿 Seeking Pleasure

3、 孙汀汀，15岁，内蒙古

Seeking Pleasure

Not long ago, I read this story in a magazine: There was once a group of

young people searching everywhere for pleasure but what they got was only

annoyance , melancholy and torture.

So they turned to Socrates for advice on where pleasure lay. But instead

of giving any answers, Socrates asked them to help with building a boat

first. The group of guys had to set about the task, laying aside their own

business of seeking pleasure. It took them a long time to cut down a tall

tree, gouging out the center. Through painstaking effort, they made a

canoe out of the tree. They launched the canoe into a river, and then

rowed together in it, singing with joy.

Socrates asked: “My children, do you have pleasure now?” They answered

in chorus: “We couldn’t be happier!” Socrates added, “That’s it! Whenever

you are too busy pursuing something definite to notice anything bitter,

pleasure will occur.”

1

From the story I got to know that pleasure always hides behind every

tiny thing that you are engaged in, and that you may only get pleasure

through hard work and creativity.

It also tells us that we might have no alternative but to experience

some pain in our daily life and in the process of seeking pleasure, or

sometimes tend to look for pleasure in material things, like a new car,

clothes, etc, but true long term pleasure comes from within our soul and

spirit. So why not turn suffering into praising life, and turn tears into

the light in your heart, only in this way can we make it through and hold

the magical spark to light the fire of life.

So my dear friends, just remember pleasure is a state of mind and a

matter of choice, and I wish you all a life of pleasure.

寻找快乐

前几天，我在一份杂志上看到一则这样的故事：一群年轻人到处寻找快乐，却遇到许多烦恼，忧愁和痛苦。 他们向苏格拉底请教，快乐到底在哪里？苏格拉底没有立即给他们答案，而是让他们先帮助造一艘船。这帮年轻人暂时把寻找快乐的事儿放到一边，开始这项工作。他们花了很长时间锯倒了一棵又高又大的树，挖空树心，造出了一条独木船。独木船下水了，他们一边合力荡浆，一边齐声快乐的唱起歌来。

苏格拉底问：“孩子们，你们快乐吗？”他们齐声回答：“快乐极了！”苏格拉底道：“快乐就是这样，它往往在你为着一个明确的目的忙的无暇顾及其他的时候突然来访。”

从这个故事当中我知道了，快乐隐藏在你用心做的每一件小事当中，通过我们的努力和创造，才能得到快乐。

它还告诉我们，在生活中和追求快乐的过程中，可能无法避免会遇到一些痛苦，人们往往把快乐建立在对物质的追求上，像一辆新车，新衣服，等等。但真正意义上的快乐应该是从精神上得到的。为什么不把痛苦锤炼成对生命的赞扬，把眼泪作为心灵的灯盏呢？只有这样才会真正寻找到快乐，一展生命中灿烂的光泽！

朋友们，请记住：快乐是一种心态，也是一种选择，我祝愿大家一生快乐！

2、 李杨，16岁，天津

Smile for life

First, ladies and gentlemen, please look at my face. Do you know what

I’m doing? Yes, quite right, I’m smiling.

I like smiling, because it makes me more confident and more popular.

Don’t you think it important?

Can you imagine a world without smiles? Can you bear seeing sad faces

here and there? What a gloomy world it would without smiles!

But people sometimes overlook the importance of smiling since it is so

simple. It seems that people are always in such a hurry for their own

business that they complain a lot about the lack of happiness in life and

some people even want to be Harry Porter to learn the magic spell of

happiness.

Now and here I should that, ladies and gentlemen, every one of us knows

exactly well what the spell actually is and the spell is so simple and

just at hand. What is it? That’s smile.

Smile is such a magic spell. It is a kind of emotional contact. It makes

strangers becomes friends. It makes parents and children understand each

other better and it makes the love between lovers deeper.

Smile is such a magic spell. It’s also a kind of encouragement. It makes

people feel warm in ice and snow. It gives thirsty people power to walk on

in a dessert. It makes cowards become brave and it makes people see hope

in desperate situations.

So please remember ‘Smile & make your life brighter’ and smile for life.

Every time you smile you give yourself a perfect chance to enjoy life.

Every time you smile, you bring the brilliant sunshine to the whole world

around you as well as to yourself.

Nike tells us Just do it. So I will say: Just smile it.

为生活微笑

首先，女士们、先生们，请注意看我的脸。你们知道我在干什么吗？对，很正确，我在微笑。 我喜欢微笑。因为它可以使我看上去更自信、更受人欢迎。

难道你们不认为微笑很重要吗？

你能想象一个没有微笑的世界吗？你能忍受整天看着一张张悲哀的脸四处游荡吗？没有微笑的世界将是多么阴郁！

但是人们有时会忽略微笑的重要，因为它太平凡了。人们似乎总是陷在一阵为各自工作而忙碌的慌乱之中而时常抱怨生活中缺少欢乐。甚至还有些人希望成为哈利·波特，学会欢乐的魔咒。

女士们、先生们，现在在这里我要告诉你们的是：“其实我们每一个人都十分清楚欢乐魔咒的真正内容，而且咒语本身也是普通至极、唾手可得。是什么？那就是微笑。

微笑就是这样一条神奇的咒语。它可以使陌生人成为朋友，它可以使父母和子女互相理解，它也可以使恋人之间的爱情更加深厚。

微笑就是这样一条神奇的咒语。它还是一种鼓舞与激励。它让冰雪中艰难求索的人感到温暖；它给沙漠中干渴将死的人以继续前进的力量；它让懦夫变的勇敢；它让人们在绝望中看到希望的曙光。

所以请记住：“微笑让你的生活更美好”并为生活微笑吧！每一微笑都会给你一个享受生活的绝佳良机；每一次微笑都会给你和全世界带来灿烂的阳光！

让我们模仿着NIKE的广告语说：“Just smile it!”

Trust and Love

Good evening, everyone!

Throughout my years of being a student, I’ve had many teachers. None of

them are the same, but the one that I’ll never forget and will always miss

is my Chinese bilingual teacher in the middle school I attended in

Seattle, Ms. Ho. She was a skinny, but stylish lady in her 50s. She was

different from all the other teachers because she gave me something

unforgettable.

Ms. Ho and I became friends right in the first semester I was in that

middle school. At the same time, I was having a really hard time with my

subjects. Since I had just transferred from a bilingual school, where I

had stayed for two months after arriving in the US, my English was

horrible; my average grade was below C. I almost thought it impossible to

learn English. Then, one day she told me she strongly believed that I was

capable of controlling my life, and I would be just fine. She said that

she found we were much alike: Both were stubborn, kind-hearted and a

little bit simple-minded. She believed that I had the quality of becoming

wise. She even said that she didn’t have any worries about me, about my

not learning English. With her encouragement, I found the strength within

myself and began to desire to work even harder. As a result, I soon proved

her right, and at the end of the semester, I got a 3.8 average grade.

Today, I still keep in touch with her, and she still tells me how she

believes in me. Sometimes, I’d think back, and wonder how I could handle

all those things if it wasn’t for her encouragement and trust. Could I be

the person I am today? Then, it struck me: What we need has always been

trust and love of others; because these things inspire us to do our best,

and to live our life to its fullest.

To sum up, I’d like to say to all of you: Let us all appreciate trust

and love of others and achieve our full potential in our life!

爱与信任

多年的学生生涯让我认识了不少的老师，每一位老师都不一样。但最让我无法忘怀的是我在西雅图所上的初中里的一位华裔双语老师——何老师。这位老师对我有特殊的意义，因为她给我的不是课堂上能收获的东西。

我刚到那所初中的第一个学期，可谓举步维艰。当时我是从一所双语学校转入那所公立普通 3

学校的。那时，我刚到美国两个月，英语差到无法与人沟通。在双语学校中的各科平均成绩在C以下。就在我对学习英语快要失去信心的时候，在学校中几个星期的时间却让我与何老师成为了朋友。在我灰心泄气的时候，何老师对我说，她非常相信我的能力，一切都会好起来的。她说她觉得我们很相似，我有那种克服困难的能力，更不要说学英语这个问题了。在她的鼓舞下，我找到了努力的欲望。结果，我验证了她所说的话。学期末，我的平均成绩上升到了3.8。

直到今天，我还与何老师保持联络，她也还会告诉我她是多么的相信我的能力。有的时候，当我回想起往事时，我会想：如果没有这位老师在我身后鼓励我，并且固执地一再告诉我我一定能行，今天的我，还会是这个样子吗？面对种种困难，我自己会一直有勇气去面对吗？一次次的回想，我终于发现了：原来我们每个人都需要爱与信任。就有了自信，因为有了爱与信任，我们就会尽最大的努力，活出我们的“真我风采”。

最后，我想对大家说：让我们感激所得到的爱与信任，发挥出我们生命中最大的潜力吧！

Ordinary Happpiness

Good morning everyone:

As we all know, happiness is something that every person is chasing. I

always try my best to find out what is the true meaning of happiness. And

I think I got it last week.

It was an ordinary Saturday morning. I felt a little tired because of

the preparation for the mid-term exams. It was not long before my mother

came in with a large bunch of white roses picked from the seller’s gardon.

During the next few minutes, we were both busy putting them into a big

cley case. Looking at the flowers, I found the dark sitting room became

bright, so did my mood, just like a person gets some fresh air when he

feels dizzy. All the feeling of boredom flew away.

Then I remember a poem named “Life could be worse”, which said:” For the

weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day, because it means I

have been capable of working hard. For my alarm that goes of in the early

hours, because it means I am alive. And finally, for too much e-mail,

because it means I have friends who are thinking of me. “I learnt that

happiness is not the diamond in a necklace, nor a dream far away, it’s

just your attitude towards life.

If you realize it, a simple cup of cola with ice can bring you a cool

summer, for happiness is so ordinary that it’s right in the palm of your

hand.

Thank you!

平凡的幸福

各位早上好：

我们都知道，幸福是每个人都在追寻的东西。我也常常努力寻找幸福的真正含义。然而在上个星期，我想我已经找到了。

这只是一个平凡的星期六早晨，我正在为准备下周的期中考试而“焦头烂额”。没过多久，妈妈便捧了一大束白玫瑰进来，这些都是花匠从花园里刚刚摘下的新鲜玫瑰。于是我们忙碌几分钟，把它们插入一个大瓷花瓶中。看着这些花，我觉得原本阴沉的客厅变得明亮了许多，我的心情也豁然开朗，像是一个烦闷的人呼吸到了新鲜空气。所有乏味的感觉都抛在九霄云外。

于是，我想起了一首名为“让生活换一种风景”的诗，上面写道：“一天下来腰酸背疼——因为我有能力勤奋工作。闹钟清晨就响——那意味着我还活着。还有就是??电子邮件爆满了——因为有这么多朋友在惦记着我呢。”我察觉到，幸福并不是项链上的钻石，也不是遥不可及的梦，它不过是你对生命的态度。

如果你能意识到这点，那么一杯加冰的可乐都可以带给你一个夏天的清凉，因为幸福如此平凡，它就在你的掌心里。
