Life Color

Life is full of colors and different colors reflect different attitudes towards life. What is your favorite color? Are you in favor of those warm colors, such as yellow, orange, or red? If you do, you are likely to be an optimist, a leader, and an active person who enjoys life, work and excitement. Do you prefer those cold colors such as grey and blue? Then you may tend to be a pessimistic, quiet, and shy person, you would rather follow than lead. Is this true? Maybe. At least, this is what psychologists have told us, and they should know, since they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings’ lives. They tell us that we do choose our favorite colors as we grew up, and we were born with our love for special colors. If you happen to love a special color, you were made to do this the moment you opened your eyes, or at least the moment you could recognize different colors. There is no doubt that colors do have an impact on our moods. A yellow room can make most people feel cheerful and relaxed while a dark green one makes you feel cold and afraid. And a red dress brings warmth and pleasure to the saddest winter day. Of course, the color black will probably make you feel depressed. It is reported that a black bridge over the Thames River used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area until one day it was repainted green, the number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the

bridge had been done in pink or baby blue. Light bright colors make people not only happier but more active in their work. It is an established fact that students work better, harder and will make fewer mistakes when their notebooks and study tools are of these colors rather than black or grey. So now do you know what kind of person you are belonging to? Just find your life color, and enjoy your life!

Friendship

Every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. My friends will listen to me when I want to speak, will wipe my eyes when I cry, will take care of me when I am sick, and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.

As students, we could share more time with our friends. The friendship in our young hearts is pure, fresh and simple. I often feel very lucky to have a lot of good friends，especially when I had Justin as one of my best friends. Justin was my English teacher from the USA. I met him in 1996 when I was a student who could only speak very little English. Justin was a vivid young man with a bright smile on his face, and he always had his special way to make the class active and attractive. He taught us English by telling stories, playing games, singing songs, and even dancing. I could still remember very clearly that one afternoon when we finished

our class, we went to some other classes to sing songs for them, just like what people do in the states on Christmas Eve. It was so interesting and unforgettable. Justin was an excellent teacher, because he taught us not only how to study English well, but also the way to find out the beauty of the world and the way to be angels to others' lives. I know there was friendship and pure love in our hearts. Facing this valuable emotion neither nationality nor age was important, the real importance lay in faith, under-standing, and care. Justin is the best friend I have ever had, and I know I will cherish those days of staying together with him as the best part of my memory.

Friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives. It is actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the sweeter it will be. It is also like a cup of tea. When we are thirsty, it will be our best choice, but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves, it is also the most fragrant drink.

However, in this fast-developing modern society, the reality is not that. More and more people forget to enjoy the beauty of life and -the beauty of friendship. They work hard in order to gain a higher position, in the society and to earn more money for their work. Of course, we don't deny that it is important to find a better place in our lives, but we wish more and more people could pay a little more attention to themselves and their friends. All of us have to spare some time for personal lives. We have to find the chance to express our emotion and love. When staying with our

friends, we can release ourselves completely. We can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry together. I should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives.

As we know, we would feel lonely if we didn't even have a friend. But it doesn't mean we could depend on our friends all the time. There is a famous motto saying that “A friend is like a quilt with cotton wadding, but the real thing that keeps you warm is your own temperature.” It is really true. We have to work hard together with our friends, encourage each other and help each other. When we receive love and friendship, we should repay as much as we can.

Finally, let's pray together now that one day, all of us could find the person we want to find, and could enjoy a real beautiful friendship in our lives. Let's pray the flower of friendship between our friends and us would always bloom brightly in our hearts

 

第二篇：演讲稿--初中英语竞赛

Good morning/afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. It is my honor to stand here and give my speech to you. My name is WuChengwen. I am fourteen years old and come from Dalian No.34 Middle School. As one of the members who were born in the 1990s, I share several hobbies with those of the same age. Although I am a little fat, I like sports very much, such as skiing, swimming and so on. I like skiing because it is really exciting. When you slide from the high to the low, you will get a larger speed than running or cycling. Everything round you is left behind fast, you can feel the flying snow on your face, and you will find yourself nearly out of breath. The noisy sound of wind reminds you of your fast speed, which even convinces you that you are in the competition with time. It is just amazing!

Besides skiing, I am also interested in swimming. Jumping into the water, the water will make you feel cool and comfortable. Especially when swimming in the sea, you can not see the end of the sea, you can never swim to the other end, but this will keep you trying and trying to challenge yourself, challenge your life. What is in your mind now is just to swim and swim. All your trouble is forgotten and the stress can also be released.

Doing sports is good to my health, so it is the best way to be strong both physically and mentally. At the same time, I can also make lots of friends with people who have the same hobby with me.

All in all, I will keep on doing sports every day, and make it a lifelong hobby. Thank you for listening!
