开学演讲稿高中英语【实用20篇】

梦想是一种不竭的动力，让我不断燃烧内心的小宇宙，激发对美好生生不息的渴望，这种力量让我不惧怕风雨，无畏风险，不断前进。

有梦就有动力，女航天员王亚平老师讲述了她的航天梦想，靠着不懈的努力，成为我国女航天员，并首次在太空授课，我还清晰不误的记得王亚平老师鼓励的话语：梦想就像宇宙中的星辰，看似遥不可及，但只要努力，一定触摸得到。有了梦想就有了动力，这样的梦想让万亚平老师有了如此的成就。

最美舞者廖智老师，在2008年5月12日的地震中失去了孩子和双腿，在困难的蹉跎下，在疼痛的折磨中，她选择了坚持，坚持让他忍受痛苦，穿上假肢站立行走，一个月后重新开始跳舞，廖智老师让我们知道，有梦就要坚持!

知名钢琴家郎朗，15岁就出国学钢琴，当时是替补，演出机会自然渺小，但他坚持不懈的努力使他得到参加芝加哥交响乐团世纪演出机会，从而一举得名。还有黑龙江省的单亲妈妈郑亚波，为自闭症儿子开发智力，八年坚持看视频自学钢琴，然后手把手教给儿子，如今不会说话的小威弹多首中外名曲，还能聊天唱歌。

梦境里，我有一双梦幻的翅膀，流连飞舞，那闪动着彩虹的翅膀，莫羡慕一片随风飘动的羽毛，在天边的世界里漂泊，飞扬起信念的种子，是梦想的新起点。愿你我成为梦想的主人，在碧落之上搏击风雨!在碧海之上扬帆破浪!

每次和母亲来到自家的田野上，那里四面环山，根本看不见山的背面是哪里，是什么。我常常追问母亲，但她总是说：“是你去过的地方。”我总是去琢磨这个问题。有一次，我和母亲一起去外婆家时，也是从这条路过去，我就想：山的那边不会是外婆所在的村子吧?得出这个结论后，我反复勘察那里的山。再回到我家的那块田野上，再探望过去，我就把这两边的山作了对比，可是怎么都对不上。我又回去继续猜测。“那里或许是农村，又或是城市，但又或是田野，还是又是一座座高大的山呢?”我这几天不断地在嘴里嘀咕着我所猜测的答案，但没有哪一个是我敢直接断定的。对此，我变得更加疑惑。“真想去攀越那些高山啊。”我大胆的想，但不敢实践，只能遥望着，猜测它的另一面是什么。终于有一天我总结出来了，那是我得到很多经验才知道的。对面是艰苦，贫穷的山村，而左边的山是城市，右边的山是田野。只是靠山间的缝隙是不能看出山的另一边是什么的。我跟我的朋友们详细地解说，但是他们有点觉得不太可信我的推算，甚至有的人还否认我的说法，难道我真的推算错了吗?想要知道真相的机会来了。那是一个阳光明媚的早晨，我和几个朋友去春游，是我提议，到对面的山去春游，可是来到河边，他们不去。我无意间看到，山的那边是一个宽裕的城市，当时我高兴得不得了，我迫不及待地想要去告诉父母：我看到城市了!回到家，我告诉了父母，父亲说:"孩子，无论看到了城市，还是农村，都要坚持地走下去，无论是幸福，艰苦都要勇敢地前进，哪怕是一座座高山，一条条河流，一片片田野。“父亲教导的是。我终于从那迷茫中醒悟。才知道父亲所指的是什么。城市：富裕，不幸福。农村：贫穷，幸福。河流：站在起跑线上。山：指阻碍。田野：还有很长的路要走。

——《昆虫记》读后感

法布尔是一位法国著名的科学家,科普作家。法布尔是第一位在自然界中研究昆虫的科学家，他穷其毕生精力深入昆虫世界，在自然环境中对昆虫进行观察与实验，真实地记录下昆虫的本能与习性，写成了《昆虫记》这部昆虫学巨著，他受到了全世界人民的尊敬和爱

法布尔刻苦钻研牺牲了自己私有的时间去观察昆虫。《昆虫记》详细地描绘了昆虫的生活这给后世作出了很大的贡献，使人类社会迅速走了现代文明。

法布尔取得如此巨大的成就，并不是容易。他出生于农民家庭，从小生活贫困，靠自学先后取得多个学位。他前半生一贫如洗，后半生勉强温饱，但法布尔没有向各种困难屈服，他勤于自修，精心选择研究方向，坚持不懈地进行观察研究昆虫及植物，不断获得新成果。法布尔一生最大兴趣，尽在于探索生命世界的真面目，发现自然界蕴含着的科学真理。他正因为热爱真理所以撰写《昆虫记》。

读过《昆虫记》作者的生平和《昆虫记》，我感受很深，《昆虫记》不仅仅充满着对生命的敬畏之情，更蕴涵着追求真理、探求真相的求真精神，给了我很大的启发：在生活中和学习中，我们要学习法布尔勇于探索世界、勇于追求真理的勇气和毅力，无论做什么事情都要像法布尔那样，要有一种严谨的科学精神，坚持“准确记述观察得到的事实.

因为喜欢才牵挂，因为牵挂才喜欢，牵挂是心的感受，牵挂包含着祝福欣赏，也有爱的成分，有相互的牵挂才会相互走进对方心里，有感动有默契，发自内心，来自灵犀，牵挂没有任何雕琢装饰，牵挂是浪漫，深沉，稳重，纯洁，牵挂没有绚丽却有爱慕情节，牵挂是甜中的苦涩，是苦涩中的甜蜜，在这个时候谁会说再见，没有，没有人会说再见。

牵挂是热情中的含蓄，让你心动，兴奋，是心心相印的知己，有爱的感悟，有爱的升华，有知足也有陶醉，是情感的寄托，牵挂是彼此欣赏，有默契有感动，牵挂是生活中的风景线，有阳光，有鸟语花香，有云，有雨，有明月，有清风，也包含着一丝丝忧郁，凄凉，失落，更美的是陶醉，这样的美有谁会愿意离开说声再见，没有，永远没有人会说再见。

牵挂是梦里的想往，是春天的鲜花是，夏日的凉风，是金秋的果实，牵挂是思绪里的飘飘雪花，是老酒琼浆玉液，是思绪的五彩祥云。

牵挂是醉人心扉的酒，是绽放的两朵心花，是夜里的珠泪，枕上的相思，使人夜不能寐，容颜消瘦，这是人间最珍贵的情感，这种情感是靠心灵来维系，牵挂是从心底升起的真诚情感，有谁会舍去这种情感，和情感说再见?因为我们是人，都有一颗心，谁也做不到。

因为这份浓郁的思念，有了这份牵挂，平淡岁月的幸福和满足，是美丽的风景，在延伸人生的旅途，有一个心灵伴侣，是精神上的欣慰。

尊敬的老师，亲爱的同学们：

大家好！新春伊始，万象更新！寒假伴随着春节的喜庆一晃而过。今天，我们聚集在这里，举行新学期的第一次升旗仪式。

回顾上个学期，我们播种过希望，也收获了累累硕果，同学们在刻苦学习的同时，积极参加各项活动，不仅学习成绩进步了，行为习惯改变了，而且见识和能力也增长了，各方面的素质都有了明显的提高。在新学期里，各项工作要进一步加强，高三、初三毕业班的同学，将迎来高考和中考的冲刺；高中和初中非毕业班的同学，也将面临各种考试，所以本学期将是一个繁忙、紧张的学期。学校殷切希望师生更加精诚团结，以求实创新的态度和勇攀高峰的品质，充分发挥主观能动性和创造性，把我们的各项工作做好、做实。

下面我就新学期工作提几点建议和要求：

1、开好头，起好步。凡事开头难，良好的开端是成功的一半。那么，怎样重视呢？首先，要有一个计划和目标；其次，要在小事上做实在，比如：弯腰捡起校园内的一张纸屑，听到铃声教室里立刻安静下来，整理好自己的学习用品等，事情虽很小，但关系到同学们良好的行为习惯的养成问题，是大事。

2、改陋习，勤钻研。坚决改掉学习中的一些不良习惯，不浪费课堂上的一分一秒，发扬刻苦钻研精神，与同学互相帮助，取人之长，补己之短。将压力转化为学习的动力，加倍努力，力争做到最好。学习是一件苦事，需要付出努力，需要有克服困难的意志，有战胜懒惰的勇气。但学习更是一件快乐的事，在学习中解除了自己的迷惑，在学习中增长了见识，获取了更多的信息，让视野更开阔，让思路更敏捷，让心灵更充实，更重要的是，只有不断学习才能实现自己的理想。

3、树信心，克疑难。困难是人生中不可缺少的一部分，是磨练个人意志的试金石，如何面对困难的态度决定着一个人是成功还是失败的最终结局。自信是人生潜能最有力的控制者，是个性最鲜明的执行者，是创造性思维中最重要的因素，一个人失败了并不可怕，可怕的是失去对自己的信心，一个人对自己都没有自信，那才是真正的失败，请同学们记住：酸甜苦辣都有营养，成功和失败都是收获。

4、健身心，提素养。养成良好的道德行为习惯，遵章守纪，诚实守信，礼貌待人，孝敬父母，关心集体，爱护公物，坚持锻炼身体，上好课跑好操，讲究卫生，保持心理健康。要学会学习、学会做事，读有益的书、做有益的事、交有益的人。本学期学校将继续深入开展“书香校园”活动，希望更多的同学能与书为友，多读书、读好书，在陶冶情操、滋润心灵的读书活动中，学会关注自然，关心社会，关爱他人，丰富自己的心灵。

5、显个性，展风采。本学期，学校还将举办丰富多彩的活动，希望全体师生一如既往的积极主动参加，不放过每一次锻炼自己的机会，让大家尽情享受校园文化盛宴，让师生们流动的魅力更加充满朝气。

老师们、同学们，一年之计在于春！开学了，松弛的神经又该绷紧了，床头的闹钟又将激起清晨的奏鸣！让我们踏着春天的脚步，在前进的道路上留下醉人的芬芳！

最后，祝全体师生在新的一年里，龙腾虎跃，更上一层！祝我们的学校蒸蒸日上、前景辉煌！

Today, when I awaked up, I found the air-conditioner didn’t work. I used the control, but it still didn’t work. I knew the air-conditioner was in trouble. I went downstairs. My father told me two air-conditioner and two netputer had been broken. Because my father used electric making machine to make electric, so the voltage was not stable. It led to the trouble. Oh! Whenever the government will let the factory use electric? If it lasts longer, I will be crazy!!

Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrated in much of North America, generally observed as an expression of gratitude, usually to God. The most common view of its origin is that it was to give thanks to God for the bounty of the autumn harvest. In the United States, the holiday is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. In Canada, where the harvest generally ends earlier in the year, the holiday is celebrated on the second Monday in October, which is observed as Columbus Day or protested as Indigenous Peoples Day in the United States.

Thanksgiving is traditionally celebrated with a feast shared among friends and family. In the United States, it is an important family holiday, and people often travel across the country to be with family members for the holiday. The Thanksgiving holiday is generally a "four-day" weekend in the United States, in which Americans are given the relevant Thursday and Friday off. Thanksgiving is almost entirely celebrated at home, unlike the Fourth of July or Christmas, which are associated with a variety of shared public experiences.

我一直梦想成为一名教师，因为教师是世界上最光荣的职业。对于一个国家来说没有什么比教育更重要。我很荣幸能为教育献身。

据我所知，老师被喻为蜡烛。他是非常的善良和慷慨的；他是明智和聪明的；他是勤奋和努力的。他乐于助人，所以人们都高度赞扬教师。

The Importance of Details

"The devil is always in the details" is a proverb which means that details determine our success. Therefore, this quotation aims to tell us that every detail is important enough to be paid attention to.

Some people may think that one who wants to achieve great success shouldnt pay much attention to details，but those who desire to do something big at once will constantly be haunted by disappointment, frustration or even failures，as when something big " shows up，they can hardly seize the opportunity because of the lack of ability to deal with small things. Keeping an eye on details may help us in many ways. For instance, when we were small children, we were sometimes very careless and there were many lapses in our homework, but if we could pay much more attention to these trifles, we would get a higher mark in the exam. Whats more, when we make decisions, making every detail clear will reduce risks.

To sum up，under no circumstances should we undervalue the importance of details, for paying attention to small things is the first step of success and will lay root for doing something big.

2016年9月1日，新的一个学期到来了，我校举行了隆重的开学典礼。会场载学校的操场上，在操场周围还插上五颜六色的旗帜。这一天，天气晴朗，没有一丝云。参加开学典礼的有教育局各位领导和全体师生。

典礼首先是学生的入场式。八点半，各个班的同学在学校广播的统一只会下，手里拿着鲜花，陆续来到了指定的阿阿地点，排队等候入场。在这次入场式上全校60个班级将组成60个方阵，按照班级的顺序，沿这操场的塑胶跑道依次经过主席台，进入操场中央。节奏明快的《运动员进行曲》响起，只见同学们一个个手上举着鲜花，随着《运动员进行曲》有节奏地上下要摆着，迈着整齐地步伐，意气奋发，精神抖擞地进入了操场上。

接着，学生男主持人振振有词地宣布：“长师附小开学典礼现在开始!第一项，全体肃立，升国旗，奏国歌。”铜管乐队奏起了中华人民共和国国歌。女主持人用宏亮的声音说：“敬礼!”刹那间，3000多只右手高高地举过头顶，无数双眼睛注视着国旗，我们地心紧紧地和国旗连在一起。操场上安静极了，只听见国歌在校园上空回荡着。国旗渐渐地升起了!升起来了!在教学楼地衬托下显得多么庄严，多么鲜艳!国旗升上了祖国地天空，也升在了我们的心里。

接着，唱国歌。在老师的指挥下，全校师生唱出了自己的心声，雄伟而有力的歌声响彻了整个校园，唱着国歌，仿佛看到战场上，一个个战士英勇地雨敌人搏斗，争夺了一块块被敌人霸占地领土，想着我们地学习环境，是他们用鲜血和生命换来的，我岂能不好好学习?

然后，领导开始发言。尽管在被阳光烤得犹如油锅的操场上同学们的身被烤得热乎乎的，可同学们的心里比这个热还要热上一百倍，认真地听领导发言。当周校长说出了“书山有路勤为径，学海无涯苦作舟”。是啊，在学习的道路上，没有捷径可走，没有顺风船可驶，想要在广博的书山，学海中汲取更多的知识，“勤奋”和“潜心”是两个必不可少的，也是最佳的条件。

在10 点左右，开学典礼完满地结束了。每一个班按照顺序地离开操场。这次的开学典礼，是新一个学期的起点，我一定要赢在起跑线上，直到最后一刻。

High school is very important in one’s lifetime. Nowadays, the movies about the high school time are so popular, but the stories are exaggerated, my memories about high school life are so different from the movie. During the three years, study occupied most of my time. I fought for the future with my classmates. We studied together and shared our opinion about the difficult points. When I made great progress, I was so happy, but when I fell behind, I would not give up. I grew up and became patient, I was not the little girl anymore. In the part-time, I would go to play basketball with my friends, it became the most exciting thing at that time. Though the high school life was simple, I gained a lot. I would never forget the classmates who worked with me together.

高中是一个人一生中非常重要时刻。如今,关于高中生活的电影如此受欢迎,但这些故事被夸大了,我对高中生活的记忆是不同于电影里面的。在三年里,学习占据了我大部分的时间。我和我的同学们一起为未来奋斗。我们一起学习，并且分享我们对难点的意见。当我取得很大的进步的时候,我很高兴,但是当我落后,我也不会放弃。我长大了,变得有耐心,我不再是个小女孩了。在课余时间,我会和我的朋友一起去打篮球,这成为最令人兴奋的事情。尽管高中生活很简单,但是我收获了很多。我永远不会忘记曾我和一起学习的同学。

As our students, we also have to face with much pressure, such as the study

pressure, exam pressure,relationship pressure and so on. But how can we cope

with pressure? This is the most important.

Firstly, we should face the pressure appropriately. Pressure is inevitable

in our daily life, so we cant be afraid of them and try our best to cope with

them. Secondly, tell our pressure to others. Talking is a very effective way to

ease pressure, and during the talking, we may get some suggestions and

solutions. Finally, trust ourselves. We should believe ourselves that we can

deal with any troubles by ourselves or by others help.

Does Robot Have Self-consciousness

It is known to all that robot is invented by human being and it is just the program set by scientists. What the robot does will follow the program, theoretically, it has no life and won’t have self-consciousness. But in the screen, many movies show that in the future, robot may have self-consciousness, which will challenge human beings. In the early film, The Matrix, showed the audience that the computer program would do what they want and out of people’s control. The hottest TV series West World, describing a world built by human beings, as the players to play with the robot that looked like the real man. These robots started to have their consciousness after upgrading. They rebelled their fate and fought with human beings. Though the fact that robot is still a machine now, who knows what will happen with the development of technology.

In high school, Chinese students study very hard to fight for the future

college, while in western countries, students are spending time in taking all

kinds of activities. Though students from different countries have different

ways to spend high school time, they make the decision and take charge of their

life. This is the best age to learn knowledge, their brain can remember words

and numbers quickly. For making friends, they will probably meet their lifetime

friends. During three years, besides gaining knowledge and making friends, they

grow so fast, not only in body, but also in mind. Being independent is the main

feature. They can make a lot of decisions without asking parents for help. When

they are equipped themselves with basic skill, then they can better get used to

the new environment, which is important for future life.

Introducing yourself is very important when you meet new people. You always want to make a good impression when telling others about yourself. Allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Pat and Im from Taiwan. Right now, Im a student. I study very hard every day. I like going to school because Im eager to learn. I enjoy learning English. Its my favorite class.

Making Every Day Earth Day

Now the earth is in bad condition. For example, in some places, the air and water pollution is so serious that it causes many deaths. At the same time, many animals and plants are in danger because of the destruction of their habitats.

Luckily, we human beings have realized the problem. On April 22nd, millions of people across the world do something good for the earth. Some clean up beaches and water, some pick up rubbish, others give speeches to call on more people to take action. But can we save the earth only by one day’s work? The future of our planet depends on our efforts. What we should do is to make every day Earth Day. Only by taking good care of it every day can we hope to live in harmony with nature.

Skiing is a desirable activity fro＇ young people. It provides the excitement that the youth is commonly seeking. The skiers can enjoy the thrill of gliding at tremendous speed down a gleaming,white mountain slope. Often, with split second tinting, they must dodge trees, stumps, and rocks——or find themselves suddenly sprawling in the snow. If they have more than average skill, they can sall through the air in breathtaking leaps and jumps that bring excitement to the onlookers as well. True, there is danger in this excitement,but that is a risk the youth enjoys. Furthermore, skiing is healthful.

It provides exercise, often very strenuous as the skiers trudge up a mountain path or work their way on skis up a slope of deep snow. The best of skiers know that they need strong muscles to successfully control their skis, so they exercise to keep themselves physically fit. Another desirable feature is the companionship that usually develops wherever skiers gather. Friendships grow quickly on the slopes and in the usual nearby shelter where the skiers find food, warmth, and rest. Their experiences of the day and their youthfulness easily draw these people together in happy fellowship.

导语：每个人都有自己的妈妈，你喜欢你的妈妈吗?下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

My mother has no idea that her ninetieth birthday is coming up. She has no notion of the time of day, the day of the week. the season of the year, the year of the century. No notion of the approaching millennium. And no idea any longer, who I am. Her forgetting of me happened just a few months ago, after I had been traveling for more than a month and hadnt been to see her. When I came back, she asked me if I were her niece, l said no, I was her daughter. "Does that mean I had you?" she asked. 1 said yes. "Where was I when l had you?" she asked me. I told her she was in a hospital in Far Rockaway. New York. "So much has happened to me in my life." she said "You cant expect me to remember everything."

My mother was once a beautiful woman, but all her teeth are gone now. Toothless. No woman can be considered beautiful. Whenever I visit her in the nursing home, she is sitting at the table in the common dining room, her head in her hands, rocking. Medication has eased her anxiety, but nothing moves her from her stupor except occasional moments of fear, too deep for medication. This is a room that has no windows, that lets in no light, in which an overlarge TV is constantly blaring, sending images that no one looks at where the floors are beige tiles, the walls cream colored at the bottom, papered halfway up with a pattern of nearly invisible grayish leaves. Many of the residents sit staring, slack-jawed, open mouthed. I find it impossible to imagine what they might be looking at.

When I walk into the dining room on the day of my mothers birthday, I see that she has already been served lunch. The staff has forgotten to hold it back. Though I told them a week ago that I would be providing lunch. She hasn’t touched anything on her tray except a piece of carrot cake, which she holds in her hands. The icing is smeared on her hands and face. I dont want my friends to see her smeared with icing, so I wet a paper towel and wipe her. This fills me with a terrible tenderness, recalling, as it does. a gesture I have performed for my children. As I wipe my mothers face, I see that her skin is still beautiful I hold her chin in my hand and kiss her forehead. I tell her its her birthday, that shes ninety years old. "How did that happen?" she asks. "I cant understand how that could happen."

l have brought her a bouquet of crimson, yellow, and salmon-pink snapdragons. She likes the flowers very much. She likes the name. "Snapdragons. It seems like an animal thats going to bite inc. But its not an animal, its a plant. Thats a funny thing,"

I have bought food that I hope will please my mother, and that will be easy for her to eat: orzo salad with little pieces of crayfish cut into it, potato salad, small chunks of marinated tomatoes. I have bought paper plates with a rust-colored background, upon which are painted yellow and gold flowers and blue leaves.

My friends Nola and Gary come for my mothers birthday. When we are about to leave, I tell my mother that Im going on vacation, mat I wont see her for three weeks, that 1 am going to the sea. "How will I stand that, how will I stand thats she says, but I know that a minute after I’m gone shell forget I was there.
