英语演讲60词左右【汇总20篇】

人生的过程中尽管不无遗憾，但我学到最价值连城的一课——逆境和挑战只要能激发起生命的力度，我们的成就是可以超乎自己所想像的。

我成长的年代，香港社会艰苦，是残酷而悲凉的。那时候没有什么社会安全网，饥饿与疾病的恐惧是强烈迫人。求学的机会不是每一个人的权利，贫穷常常像一种无期徒刑。今天社会前行，新的富足为大部分人带来相对的缓冲保障，贫穷不一定是缺乏金钱，而是对希望及机遇憧憬破灭的挫败感。很多人害怕可上升的空间越来越窄，一辈子也无法冲破匮乏与弱势的局限。我理解这些恐惧，因我曾经一一身受。没有人愿意贫穷，但出路在哪里?

七十年前这问题每一个晚上都在我心头，当年十四岁时已需要照顾一家人，没有接受教育的机会，没有可以依靠的人脉网路，我很怀疑只凭刻苦耐劳，和一股毅力，是否足以让我渡过难关?我们一家人的命运是否早已注定?纵使我能餬口存活，但我有否出人头地的一天?

我迅速发现没有什么必然的成功方程式，首要专注的是，把能掌控的因素区分出来。若果成功是我的目标，驾驭一些我能力内可控制的事情是扭转逆境十分重要的关键。我要认清楚什么是贫穷的枷锁—我一定要有摆脱疾病、愚昧、依赖和惰性的方法。

比方说，当我发觉染上肺结核病，在全无医疗照顾之下，我便下定决心，对饮食只求营养不求喜恶、适当地运动及注重整洁卫生，扞卫健康和活力。此外，我要拒绝愚昧，要持恒地终身追求知识，经常保持好奇心和紧贴时势增长智慧，避免不学无术。在过去七十多年，虽然我每天工作十二小时，下班后我必定学习，告诉你们一个秘密，在过去一年，我费很大的力气，努力理解进化论演算法里错综复杂的道理，因为我希望了解人工智慧的发展，以及它对未来的意义。

无论在言谈、许诺及设定目标各方面，我都慎思和严守纪律，一定不能给人嚣惰脆弱和倚赖的印象。这个思维模式不但是对成就的投资，更可建立诚信;你的魅力，表现在你的自律、克己和谦逊中。

所有这些元素连接在一起功效非凡：它能渐渐凝聚与塑造一个成功基础，帮助你应付控制范畴以外的环境。当机遇一现，你已整装待发，有本领和勇气踏上前路。纵使没有人能告诉你前路是什么一道风景，生命长河将流往何方，然而，在这过程中，你会领悟到邱吉尔多年的名言：“只要克服困难就是赢得机会。一点点的态度，但却能造成大大的改变。”

生命抛来一颗柠檬，你是可以把它转榨为柠檬汁的人。要描绘自己独特的心灵地图，你才可发现热爱生命的你、有思维、有能力、有承担，建立自我的你;有原则、有理想，追求无我的你。

Music is a kind of beautiful enjoyment, it makes me happy, makes me feel

better. The music brought joy to people!

The grass to listen to music, grow more and more flourishing, more and more

green. Several long more and more high wood to listen to the concert. People

listen to the music is good, can relieve pain, fatigue, also can turn a bad mood

into a good mood, still can make people happy, let people follow the music dance

dance to.

If the world without music, the grass will not listen to music, will

wither. The trees will not thrive without the music, also wont grow taller.

People wont listen to the music, will feel very lonely, lonely, will feel very

depressed.

He said mom and dad!!!! They go to work, a days hard work, come back in

the evening to listen to music, relax the mood, relieve the body of a long day,

also can relieve fatigue.

Grandma is very lonely one day, I went to school in the morning, mom and

dad go to work, my grandfather has also gone out to the park. Grandma leg is not

good, is more walk leg ache, so grandma had to stay at home. Grandma do not

work, just listen to music at home, so she didnt feel lonely, also have things

to do.

People alive, be without music, without music, the world will be very pale,

our life is monotonous, boring, so the music is very important to us.

It is said that Musicis the soul of a man.I agree on the view.I love not

only listening to music,but also singing the song.whatever cheering or

sorrowful,music can know about my mood and accompany me.It seems to me that

music is a good friend.

I can express my feelingby music.I take delight in singing in KTV.Sentiment

in myself can go out.It’s so cool.Singing in the front of people can raise my

confidence and make me high.When joyless,nobody can undersdand my heart and I am

clined to sing the song alone.It’s a mode that nobody can break into.So music

can bring much to me.

Apart from this,some musics are classical.The rhythm and song lyrics are

great.For example,song lyrics of Let it Go encoage many people.Any words of the

song let you brave.”Be the good girl ,you always have to be” and I always have

to be.

Nowadays I listen to music every day.Music is the part of my life.I love

music and let it in my heart.

We are living in one of those periods in human history which are marked by

recolutionary changes in all of mans ideas and values. It is a time when every

one of us must look within himself to find what ideas, what beliefs, and what

ideals each of us will live by. And unless we find these ideals,and unless we

stand by them firmly, we have no power to overcome the crisis in which we in our

world find ourselves.

I believe in people, in sheer, unadulterated humanity, I believe in

listening to what people have to say, in helping them to achieve the things

which they want and the things which they need. Naturally,there are people who

behave like beasts, who kill,who cheat, who lie and who destroy. But without a

belief in man and a faith in his possibilities for the future, there can be no

hope for the future, but only bitterness that the past has gone.

I believe we must, each of us, make a philosophy by which we can live.

There are people who make a philosophy out of believing in nothing. They say

there is no truth,that goodness is simply cleverness in disguising your own

selfishness. They say that life is simply the short gap in between an unpleasant

birth and an inevitable death. There are others who say that man is born into

evil and sinfulness and that life is a process of purification through suffering

and that death is the reward for having suffered.There are others who say that

man is a kind of machine which operates according to certain laws, and that if

you can learn the laws and seize the power to manipulate the machine, you can

make man behave automatically to serve whatever ends you have in mind.

I believe these philosophies are false. The most important thing in life is

the way it is lived,and there is no such thing as an abstract happiness,an

abstract goodness or morality, or an abstract anything,except in terms of the

person who believes and who acts. There is only the single human being who lives

and who, through every moment of his own personal living experience, is being

happy or unhappy,noble or base, wise or unwise, or simply existing.

The question is: How can these individual moments of human experience be

filled with the richness of a philosophy which can sustain the individual in his

own life?Unless we give part of ourselves away,unless we can live with other

people and understand them and help them,we are missing the most essential part

of our own human lives. The fact that the native endowment of the young mind is

one of liberalismand confidence in the powers of man for good is the basis of my

philosophy.And if only man can be given a free chance to use his powers, this

philosophy will result in a boundless flow of vital energy and a willingness to

try new things,combined with a faith in the future.

There are as many roads to the attainment of wisdom and goodness as there

are people who undertaketo walk them.There are as many solid truths on which we

can stand as there are people who can search them out and who will stand on

them. There are as many ideas and ideals as there are men of good will who will

hold them in their minds and act them in their lives.

One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that

he had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley. A large crowd gathered and

they all admired his heart for it was perfect. There was not a mark or a flaw in

it. Yes, they all agreed it truly was the most beautiful heart they had ever

seen. The young man was very proud and boasted more loudly about his beautiful

heart.

Suddenly, an old man appeared at the front of the crowd and said, "Why your

heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine." The crowd and the young man looked at

the old mans heart. It was beating strongly, but full of scars, it had places

where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in, but they didnt fit quite

right and there were several jagged edges. In fact, in some places there were

deep gouges where whole pieces were missing.

The people stared — how can he say his heart is more beautiful, they

thought? The young man looked at the old mans heart and saw its state and

laughed. "You must be joking," he said. "Compare your heart with mine, mine is

perfect and yours is a mess of scars and tears."

"Yes," said the old man, "Yours is perfect looking but I would never trade

with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love —

I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they give me a

piece of their heart which fits into the empty place in my heart, but because

the pieces arent exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they

remind me of the love we shared. Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away,

and the other person hasnt returned a piece of his heart to me. These are the

empty gouges — giving love is taking a chance. Although these gouges are

painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for these people too,

and I hope someday they may return and fill the space in my heart. So now do you

see what true beauty is? "

The young man stood silently with tears running down his cheeks. He walked

up to the old man, reached into his perfect young and beautiful heart, and

ripped a piece out. He offered it to the old man with trembling hands.

The old man took his offering, placed it in his heart and then took a piece

from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young mans heart.

It fit, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges. The young man looked

at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from

the old mans heart flowed into his. They embraced and walked away side by

side.

The Olympic Games will be held this year.I am so excited and I think the

games will be interesting and also fascinating. But now the important ishow

should we do with the Olmpics if I am a volunteer? To solve the problem will be

extremely difficultbecause nowadays lots of people devote themselves to society

and you can not hold an opportunity easily.So just try my best......

We can go to the English Corner to help them to send some DIY newspapers

and go to the neighborhood to tell the stories or history about Olmpics to the

people who are curious to learn. Alsowe can go on the streets to find the

problems such as putting away the trash anywheresaying out the impolite

words.That will be meaningful.I am sure that I will succeed.Believe itdo it!

I once got on a taxi of which the owner is a faithful reader of mine. On

the hurtling bus, The driver asked me : “Mr.Lin, could you tell me what is

meaning of living?”

He was the first one who asked me such a question about the life, and I was

dumb to be asked suddenly.

Suddenly, the couplet which hanged on the wall of the auditorium of my

middle school was floating on my mind.

The purpose of living is to develop the living quality of mankind.

(the purpose of living is to promote the living standard of mankind;)

The meaning of life is to create the supervene lives of universe.

(the meaning of life is to carry on the continuum of the universe)

And then, I talked to the driver, “The meaning of life is to make a

difference in your mind and soul, meanwhile, do something good and devote

yourself to the world everyday.”

When I have said all this, we were just gone through Renai Road, where were

standing beautiful trees of the each side. It is there that I saw the pretty

flower blooming on the ceiba trees. How beautiful they are.

When we are making progress, that means we are ‘blooming’for ourselves. Out

willing of devoting to our world is a flower for the world.

My Mother isa kind and gentle woman.She is always very gentle.She takes

good care of her children and keeps them all at school.I have one brother and

two sistets.So she gets four children in all.She gives us every comfort.We all

love her and she loves us also.

My mother has too much to do in bringing us up.As our family is too poor to

keep a servantmy mother has always to do very much work.She gets up very early

and sleeps very late every day.She works hardyet without complaining.

She is also a thriftyand industrious woman.She saves every cent that she

can and keeps everything in order.As she has been busy eversince she was

youngshe looks older than she really is.Her face is wrinkledher hair becomes

silver whitebut she works as hard as ever.

Often she says to us"work while you workplay while you play.If you do not

workyou will become lazy and of no use to society." What piece of good advice

this is!We must worth it well and always keep it in our mind.

There are two important kinds of music in the world --one is written down

and the other is not. Many people earn their living by writing music. They write

songs for popstars and music for films and TV plays. They usually write exact

instructions how the music is to be played. Folk music has been passed down from

one goneration to another. At first it was never written down. Pe ple learnt the

songs from their families, relatives, neighbours and friends in the same

village. These songs were about country life, the seasons, animals and plants,

and about love and sadness in peoples lives. Early performers of music were

popular and respected.They used to learn hundreds of songs by heart. On

festivals they used to act and sing in praise of heroes who lived long ago. This

was at a time when there was no radio, TV or cinema. Many of the country people

could neither read nor write. In this way stories were passed on from one person

to another. This continues in some countries even today. In some parts of the

world nowadays, you often see musicians performing in the streets to passers-by.

They put a cap on the ground in front of them, so that people who like the music

can drop coins into it.

Music could be created in any place when you have inspiration.At most

times,we enjoy music like symphonic music.Even pop music,there is neednt to

understand what are they wanting to tell us.We just need to hear it

carefully.Therefore,music shouldnt have national boundaries.

According to my personal experience,music has a more positive effect on our

life.When we are in a blue mood,we could listen to some foreigner song.Such

as,My Love,the Funeral of Hearts and Close to the flame etc.The music is that we

neednt to realize what are they singing.When you listen to their rhythm and

style,you will feel your heart be touched and shake in a blue mood.Then,you will

be enlightened and acquire power.

On the other hand,different music could promote society develop.As everyone

knows,KFC and Mcdonalds are popular in China,as well as,there is nothing in the

world can delight me so much as having a hamburger in these store.There are

three major reasons and other details.The foremost reason first one is

convenience.Second is save time.The third is delicious.However,the detail is

also essential for the fast-food store.Music is one of them.The music rhythm is

factor that if they play a smooth music,the customer will find the taste of food

better.If the store plays a rapid pace of music,people will eat their food more

speedily when the store is rush time.That will provide more desk and table for

client to available.

Music has more effect and application of us around that I was not

mentioned.In a word,music helps country and people more good than harm.

After entering college,we found, to our surprise,that differences between

high school life and college life are great.In high school,we always depended on

our parents and teachers to solve all kinds of difficult problems.At

college,however,we have to rely exclusively on ourselves.Whats more, we have to

learn how to get along with our classmates and roommates.

Four years at college is an important yet very short period of time in our

life.So it is always expected that we adapt to this life as quickly as

possible.But it is a pity that not everyone can do so immediately.Here are some

suggestions.

First,get familiar with the main buildings on the campus.Spend one or two

hours by yourself or with your classmates to go around the campus so that you

can know the location of such important places as the library,the dining

room,the post office,the clinic and classrooms.Next,try to be independent.Learn

to do such things as making sound decisions on how to spend your time,how to

spend your money etc,and washing clothes on your own.

Furthermore,form good study habits.Talk with your classmates and learn from

their good habits.Finally, try to take part in all kinds of activities to get

out of your solitude and get on well with your classmates.

My station in university campus inch territory, breathes and feels a here

freshness. The university life like this started. The life four years time

already the picture got down certainly has run the line, you along this path

endless long journey, the university time will say regarding me will be fresh,

the biography first time was far away the hometown, trod studies the road. I to

the university life am fuzzy, after investigates many times, everybody is two

characters ----- is bored to the university life feeling, perhaps has that a

reason! Three years high school life is such intense stimulates. Recollected

also a little is afraid, facing high schools intense sprint, diligently was

admitted to a school dream of the university, everybody is the like this

struggle, assaults the dream. At the present, steps into the university campus,

studies the life has had the bored feeling.

A bird in a cage, the free space is infinite, they like the frog in well

spend in narrow space, not their own free life.

Each time I see them, they think, feel with the other.

Every day to stay in his own study, although the book is my partner, can

let I dare not to mind empty, but sometimes standing to the window and saw the

children of the same age with me on the ground to play, there is sweet smile on

her face, in the heart how envy.

So, every day I see it, and have a headache, how much I yearn for freedom,

I hate being at home, live a life they want, how perfect it is!!!

"The birds have belong to own sky, fish have belong to own lake, the grass

has belongs to own the land, the flowers have their own sunshine, why cant I

have my own life?" My time of day, but god is one of my speaker, what can he

reach to me?

Freedom, how much I yearn for freedom, if one day, I walked alone in the

wilderness of fragrant, let the wind blowing my hair, as the grass on my feet,

as the sun on my face, I will always be walking without the light of day, when

one day, I went to the sea to the sea to speak my mind, pick up a conch tell my

secret about it, have a dream that one day someone picked up it, slowly to get

the ears to listen to tell my story, unknowingly going the rounds and mom, dad,

you may hear this story? If I understand my heart, give me a piece of my own

perfect life, give me that you want freedom?

Have you heard the story?

"Sometimes, I also want to be free!" I loudly Shouting, bouts of echo in my

ears. How I hope to have a free world!

Last term， I started to like comic， pop music。 Lots of superstars are my

idols.Such as Conan， Jay， Syusuke and so on。 But my mum dislikes them.She wants

me to study diligently.I have such kind of experience.One day， when I was

reading Harry potter with great interest.My mum shouted， "This is a fantastic

book， you should do your homework" How depressed I was at that time.So， I always

feel uncomfortable when staying with my mum.I think my mum is too serious and

too strict with me， and she seldom gives me freedom.

Today， lots of parents hope their children become talent， if we study

without any rest， they will be happy.My mum always talks to me，"Its time to

learn English， its time to read Chinese text book." Our high score will be a

great satisfaction to our parents。 If we lose the high score in our single

examination， they will be angry.Besides this， they are angry at our choices in

comic， in music and even our way of speech. Mum， Dad， Do you know， they are not

bad things， and they are our happiness.

If we plan to do something of ourselves,we had better try our parents

understand us.If our parents see that we have high sense of responsibility,they

will certainly give us the right to do what we want to do.

Everyone is eager to freedom.But not everybody can deal with the

freedom.

It is like a bird who want to fly higher than they think can not leave away

their families,or like a baby who want to walk by himself,but he is too young to

walk.It is said that there are not rules,we can not have a circle.

As we all known,mothers give us bodies and social gives us freedom.But

you should to see the prisoner around us.Do not they need free?We should

value our time,love and so on,when they lost their freedom and admire us.Then

you know you are very lucky.Sometimes freedom give us courage,sometimes freedom

give us belief,but sometimes freedom dissipate us.So we should grasp

us,distinguish right from incorrect.

In my opinion,we are eager to freedom,and we should try our best to protect

our freedom.At last but not least we should respect ourselves.
