英语即兴演讲题目及范文【经典20篇】

Genghis Khan, "Khan of Khans", was the great leader of Mongolians. At the end of 12th century, he united Mongolian tribes and challenged other powers to expand his huge Mongolian empire, which extended from South China to the Caspian Sea.

In 1277, Khan attacked the West Xia Kingdom (presently Ningxia) and encountered strong resistance. He died of disease and age. The great emperor was later buried secretly according to Mongolian custom. It says that after the burial 2,000 men were slaughtered by some 800 soldiers who were in turn executed so that the location of the real tomb remains a secret.

There are four sacrifice ceremonies held annually to commemorate the great hero and leader of the Mongolian people. The ceremony, held on March 21st on lunar calendar, is the grandest. After the ceremony, horse racing, archery and wrestling are held as entertainment.

Dear Wang Lin,

It’s really my pleasure to make friends with you. I’m Zhao Gang and I’m 17

years old. I like playing football and reading. I’m good at writing and playing

the piano. But I really want to be a journalist after graduating from

university. To get good marks, firstly, think listening carefully in class is

most important. Then we should ask the teacher questions we have in time.

Finally, getting rich knowledge out of class is also necessary. I hope the

advice can help you in your studies. Welcome to our school if you have the

chance. And I’ll show you our school and my favorite books. Also I can play a

piece of piano music for you.

Looking forward to your letter.

Best wishes.

Guo Jingming is a famous writer in China. I think all the students have

known him. He is also my favourite writer. He was born in 1983. He has published

many books, such as "Visionary"," The Summer Still Doesnt Come"…These books are

very touching.

I often cry and shed bitter tears while I am reading his books. I thought

he was a pessimistic person but now I think he is sensational person. He doesnt

want to grow up judged by this. I think he is pure and naive. Although he is a

writer, he studies well.

I admire him very much. His words are common, but they make people feel

quite close to him. I hope he can write better articles and I want to be a

writer like him when I grow up.

Young People Should Have Ideals

What are you going to do when you grow up? When I was a child, people often asked me this question about the ideal. Undoubtedly, every individual, especially a young person, should have an ideal. Hardly can we find any great people we know ideal when they were young。

An ideal is a vital importance to ones growth and success. On the one hand, an ideal is the target of ones life. Once you decide what your ideal is, you know where to go, and which way to take. Otherwise, you might become puzzled in many things in your life. On the other hand, an ideal is like the engine of vehicles. Only when we have our own ideals, can we find the origin of energy and enthusiasm in life, and become active and perseverant. Whatever your ideal is, careful plan and preparation is vital to its realization. Of course, the path from where you are to where you want to get is not always smooth and straight. Therefore, an optimistic, positive mind is indispensable in the process of your persevering your ideal。

In a word, only if you have an ideal, you will have the chance of realizing it。

stay in touch

Dear Ling Feng,

I would like to thank you at the end of our middle school education. You have been very kind and helpful since we knew each other.

You have given me so much help that I will never forget. Last term, I caught a bad cold and had to stay at home for a week. When I was worrying about the lessons, you came to my home after school and helped me with every subject. With your help, I didn’t fall behind others. Since then, we have become very close friends. I think I’ll try to help others just like you.

Thank you again. Even though we may go to different schools, I’ll always stay in touch with you. I wish you success for the future.Yours,

Liu Yan

Success Is What？What is successThis is an old topic. However,However, everyone’s  understanding of success is quite different. Some people think that having money, house, car, a woman is successful. Some people think that success is doing something that you want to do. Some even deny the existence of success, he thinks this world is not successful, only the endless pursuit.So I want to make a new definition of success: Success is something that people are very eager to do good things gained a sense of satisfaction and excitement. Therefore, we do things, no matter big and small, as long as you want to do, and through your efforts made, and you happy, then you succeeded. Do not look too far successful, they should not be too easy to see success, success requires your effort. Those who believe that successful people do not exist, in fact, continue to define new goals, they will from what they have done to get happy, they succeeded.(

In order to become successful, you should first of all be both perseverance and hardworking. As you know, whatever you do, there are always two possible results: success and failure. When you fail, you should never lose heart. On the contrary, you must build up your confidence and work even harder. You should always keep in mind that perseverance is the mother of success and industry is the key to it. In addition, you should pay great attention to your work method. It is necessary for you to sum up your experience constantly and improve the efficiency of your work. Finally, it is important for you to get along well with your co-workers, care for each other and help each other. If you follow these principles, you will certainly achieve remarkable success in thefuture.

In my opinion, success means achieving brilliant results in ones work, that is, making outstanding contributions to the development of the country and bringing happiness to the people. So my conclusion is that even if one has made great progress in what he does, I don’t think there’s any reasons for him tobeconceited.

Today is Saturday. I stay at home with my parents.

My mother said that today we should do some cleanings. I agreed and I would

like to help.

I cleaned the windows. It was really a tough job.

Now matter how hard I tried, they seemed dirty all the same. Therefore, I

asked for help.

My mother teached me a method to clean the windows.

It realy worked. And then I cleaned the floor. It was much easier than

cleaning the windows. I did it in a short time. My parents praised me.

On the Losing of Traditional Culture

1. 现在许多传统文化正慢慢消失

2. 传统文化消失的原?因

3. 我的看法

On the Losing of Traditional Culture

It is widely noted that lots of traditional culture is disappearing along with the development of technology. Many ancient architectures and traditional ways of living have been deserted. It seems that the traditional culture and craftsmanship will be replaced in this modern era.

The following reasons can account for the above phenomenon. Firstly, traditional technologies are always considered ineffective while the new sciences are always highly efficient. Secondly, it is costly to protect the traditional culture. If the fund used to protect the ancient culture was instead delivered to the poor, it will be helpful to the improvement of their living standard. Thirdly, modern science and technology facilitate both our daily and academic life a lot. For instance, college students always collect their thesis materials by surfing the Internet instead of borrowing books from the library.

In my opinion, although traditional culture is an ancient heritage, it couldn’t keep pace with the development of society. It is the tide of history that the traditional culture and technology will no doubt be eliminated in the end.

每个人都有自己的梦想，当然我也不例外，有的人想当科学家，有的人想当发明家，还有的人想当作家，而我却想当一名教师。

Each people all have own dream, of course, I was no exception, some people want to be scientists, some people want to be an inventor, there are people who want to be a writer, while I want to be a teacher.

如果，我真当上了一名教师，我会做一个和学生打成一片的好老师，只要一有时间我就要和他们一起快乐的玩耍。

If I really became a teacher, I would make a good teacher and students, as long as one has the time I to be with them happily.

如果，我真当上了一名教师，我回做一个成为同学门朋友们的好老师，只要一有时间，就和他们一起谈心，让他们把他们知道有趣的事一起说出来。

If, I really became a teacher, Im doing a become classmates door friends good teacher, as long as there is a time, and they talk together, let them to know that they are interesting things to say it together.

如果，我真当上了一名老师，我会做一个奖罚分明的好老师，有同学进步了，我会表扬他并奖励他一些文具，让他再接再励。如果，有谁学习退步了，我会激励让他不要灰心。

If, I really became a teacher, I would make a fine good teacher, students progress, I will praise him and reward him some stationery, let him do it again. If, who is learning a step backwards, I will let him not to lose heart excitation.

如果，有一天，我真当上了一名教师，我一定会像我说的那样：做一个和学生打成一个打成一片的，成为学生的知心朋友，奖罚分名的好老师。

If, one day, I really became a teacher, I would like I said: do a student into a mix of students, become intimate friends, reward points good teacher.

我的家乡位于湖北省西部，是一个风景秀丽的好地方。今天我就给大家介绍一下我家乡的风景名胜。

首先我要介绍的是“神农溪”。它是一条美丽的河流，河水清澈，两岸风景如画，犹如一个美丽的少女生在大山之间。

我的家乡还有神秘的“无源洞”。它位于大山之间，洞非常狭长，洞里的水冬暖夏凉，洞中有很多形象怪异石钟乳，还有蝙蝠，给本来就充满悬念的无源洞添上一层神秘的色彩。

最后我给大家介绍一下“秋风亭”。它的来头就很大了，因为寇准年轻的时候曾经在我们巴东县当过3年的县令，寇准的县衙就设在了秋风亭。秋风亭造型美观大方，气势磅礴，每当人们看到它就会想起寇准当年在巴东立下的丰功伟绩。

Last week, I took part in an English speech contest which was held by our teachers. There were twelve students in the final contest. I was one of them.

Fifteen minutes before my turn, I picked my topic and prepared for it. I wrote down the outlines and organized what I was going to say. However, when I stood in front of all judges and students, I was extremely nervous. My mind was totally empty.

Then I took a deep breath to relax myself and started my speech. The result was not as good as I expected, but I preferred to regard it as a challenge to myself, whose process was the most important for me. I can learn a lot from this contest. I am sure I will be better next time.
