高二英语作文演讲稿实用2篇 作文范文经典20篇

From Monday until Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in

the evenings and on weekends they are free to relax and enjoy themselves. Some

watch television or go to the movies; others participate in sports. It depends

on individual interests. There are many different ways to spend our spare

time.

Almost everyone has some kind of hobby. It may be anything from collecting

stamps to making model airplanes. Some hobbies are worth a lot of money; others

are valuable only to their owners.

I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand yuan. A short

time ago he bought a rare ten-yuan piece worth 250 yuan. He was very happy about

the purchase and thought the price was reasonable. On the other hand, my son

collects match boxes. He has almost 600 of them but I doubt if they are worth

any money. However, to my son they are extremely valuable. Nothing makes him

happier than to find a new match-box for his collection.

Thats what a hobby means, I guess. It is something we like to do in our

spare time simply for the fun of it. The value in money is not important, but

the pleasure it gives us is.

It seems like a silly question, anyone in sane would give a hand to the elderly who fell. But in China, this question is becoming tricky. Many news report that there are some old people not just fell, they do it on purpose. Usually, they walk on a crowdy street, and pretend to faint or just lay down on the ground, intend to accuse the one who comes to help as a perpetrator and blackmail him/her for the treatment fee. Many people have fell for that and had to pay as there is no witness to prove their innocence. As for these negative news, people is afraid to help those old people in need, that makes some of them who are in real trouble could not get help in time. I once asked one of my friends: “Why the old people turn bad? If you see one in the street, would you help?” He said: “It is not the old people turn bad, it is the bad people turn old. I will video him/her to make a statement first, then decide if I would help.”

这似乎是个愚蠢的问题,任何清醒的人遇到跌倒的老人都会伸出援助之手。但在中国，这个问题变得棘手。很多新闻报道说有些老人不只是跌倒而已，他们是故意这么做的。通常他们会走到人潮涌动的街头，假装晕倒或者是直接躺在地上，想要指控那些来帮助他的人为肇事者，敲诈他们要治疗费。很多人都上当了，由于没有目击者证明他们的清白，他们被迫支付了费用。正因为这些负面新闻，人们害怕去帮助那些需要帮助的老人，也因此造成了那些真正有困难的老人没有得到及时的帮助。我曾经问我一个朋友：“为什么现在的老人变坏了?如果你在街上看到这样的老人你会帮助吗?”他说：“不是老人变坏了，是坏人变老了。我会先录像让他做一个声明，再决定是否帮助他。”

In my early years, I did not see the value of education.

When I was going on thirteen, I started to run my own shop. From then on, I worked hard to become a successful businessman.

One day I realized the importance of the English language in the business world and started taking night classes.

I was able to communicate well with foreign customers after two years of English study. But I started to feel that, in the long run, having a limited knowledge of English was not enough to make my business successful. I knew that only a well- rounded education could guarantee my success in the future.

When I was eighteen, I had to make a decision to continue doing business or go back to school. There was one obstacle keeping me from getting an advanced education. I had only completed elementary school up to that point. I then went back to senior high school after four months of tutoring in different subjects. Being at school for the first time after so many years was somewhat embarrassing because my classmates were at least two or three years younger than I. I concluded that my age did not matter. The important thing was getting into college.

I took the College Entrance Exams. Although my math exam result was only one point below the required score. I never gave up hope. The following year, I took it again and received the highest score in my city. Achieving such an amazing result gave me encouragement and courage necessary to continue my education to the next step.

I am now in my second year of college and know that it is never too late to learn. My passion for studying and improving myself will never come to a halt as long as I continue to live.

“Live and Learn.” is the motto I have adopted. I believe with an education I will succeed. So, if you are wondering whether education is important, don’t hesitate a moment to step up and seize the opportunity.

The first day for me to go to high school, I felt so excited, because I

came into the new stage of my life. The school asked the students to live in the

dormitory, so I had to move out and left my parents. This was such a big

challenge for me, because I never left home before. I needed to learn to be

independent, what’s more, I also learned to get along with others. High school

was like a little society for me and I handed the problems well. The other

challenge was from study. I had to learn so many subjects and fought for my

future college. I met difficulties and felt frustrated, but I told myself not to

give up and I got over the difficulties. High school life is not easy, but we

grow up quickly.

We are living in a globalized world and the cross-cultural communications are increasing nowadays. In other words， we have never been so closely connected with each other in the human histories. As a philosopher has pointed out， nobody is an isolated island. If we want to have a bright future， we need more cooperation for the development. Therefore， team spirit is very important. It is an bility that people can understand each other and cooperate with each other for the successful completion of some important tasks.We need such kind of ability in particular during the globalization for several reasons.

我们生活在全球化的世界中，跨文化交流越来越常见。换句话说，在人类历史中，我们还没有如此紧密地链接在一起。就如一位哲学家所说的，没有人与外界孤立。如果我们想拥有广阔的未来，我们需要合作。所以，团队的精神非常重要。为了重大目标的完成，我们需要互相协作。在全球化的背景下，我们需要某种特殊的能力。

First of all， team spirit offers us a platform where we can operate our collective talent to work out thebest. Only when we work effectively together can we have the best chance to get the success. Taking the 2008 Beijing Olympics for example， I think the success of the event first goes to the superb team spirit of the organizers and millions of volunteers.So many people work hard and cooperate well for the single aim and the solitary goal： an exceptional Olympics for the whole world. A lot of student volunteers in Beijing are committed and work tirelessly during the hot summer. History has witnessed their brilliant teamwork and valuable contributions.What is more，team spirit is quite useful for personal career.

首先，团队精神提供了我们一个平台，这个平台能够集聚所有人的力量。只有我们努力协作，我们才有可能成功。就拿2008年北京奥运会为例，我认为事件的成功来源于上百万志愿者的协作和团队精神。所以，许多人为了单一目标而协作努力：为全世界奉献了精彩的奥运会。在炎热的夏天，许多志愿者努力工作。历史见证了他们的团队合作，以及卓越贡献。更重要的是，团队精神对于个人的发展也是有意义的。

As young students，we must learn the core and sharpen our skills in the team.If you work in a company，most of the time you have to finish or design a huge project with your colleagues. Each person can contribute their wisdom to the completion of the task. You cannot do it so well single-handedly. When we watchthe Olympic Games on TV， we are so amazed by the excellent performances of the players. If they want to win the gold medals， they must compete as one person and exercise their own part well for the whole success.So we can say the team spirit is the secret of success.

作为一名年轻学生，我们必须学会在团队中锻炼自己的能力。如果你在一家公司工作，那么绝大部分的时间你都必须与其他同事完成重要的设计任务。每个人都为这一目标献出了自己的智慧。你不可能单枪匹马。当我在电视机前观看奥运会比赛时，我们对运动员的出色表现而惊叹不已。如果他们想夺取金牌，为了目标，他们必须通力合作。所以，团队精神是成功的秘诀。

Finally，team spirit is the symbol of national power and strength. As we all know，the Chinese delegationhas won the most medals during the 2008 Olympics and all Chinese people are so proud of our country. Another example is the touching power of the team spirit in the Sichuan earthquake. We were moved by the perseverance and persistence of the rescue workers， who were eager to help their compatriots.

最后，团队精神是国家富强和力量的象征。众所周知，中国代表团在2008年奥运会上奖牌总数第一，中国人无不为此而骄傲。另一个体现团队精神的例子是四川地震。我们被救援人员的坚韧和顽强品质所感染，他们不惜生命的代价抢救伤员。

In conclusion， team spirit is an important ability and skill in the 21th century because we are all facedwith the globalization and the question of how to live better. Therefore， we must learn to work well in the team and let the team spirit guide us to success.

总结，团队精神是21世纪最重要的能力和技能，因为我们都处在全球化的大背景之下，我们的问题时如何生活得更好。所以，我们必须通力协作，只有团队精神才能让我们取得成功。

People are beginning to attach much more importance to their health these days than ever before. They begin to realize that good healthis the most valuable possession a person can have. However, many people dont know how to stay healthy although great efforts have been made in this regard. In my opinion, there are three things we can do if we want to be in good.

First, we should have the right food, because proper nutrition is the most important for good health. Avoid foods with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of high protein foods, vegetables and fruits. Do not overeat. Secondly, we should get proper amount of sleep, because without enough sleep, we will often feel tired and irritable. Allow ourselves at least eight hours of sleep each day. Have a nap at noon if time permits. Finally, we should exercise regularly, because life depends on exercise. Regular exercise strengthens our hearts and lungs . In addition, it prevents us from putting on weight.

If everyone is to do so, there will be much less complaining about poor health and there will be much more happiness in our life.

人们开始更加重视他们的健康现在比以往任何时候都要多。他们开始意识到好的饶恕的人可以拥有最宝贵的财富。然而,许多人不知道如何保持健康在这方面虽然已经取得了巨大的努力。在我看来,有三件事我们可以做,如果我们要在好。

首先,我们应该有合适的食物,因为适当的营养是健康最重要。避免食物有大量的糖和脂肪。多吃高蛋白质食物,蔬菜和水果。不要吃得过多。其次,我们应该得到适量的睡眠,因为没有足够的睡眠,我们往往会感到疲倦和烦躁。让自己每天至少八小时的睡眠。如果时间许可,中午打个盹。最后,我们应该定期锻炼,因为生活取决于运动”。有规律的锻炼可以增强我们的心和肺。此外,它阻止我们发胖。

如果每个人都这样做,将会有更少抱怨糟糕的健康状况,将会有更多的幸福在我们的生活中。

One day three men got a bottle of wine. But the wine was not enough for the

three and each of them wanted to drink the wine alone. Then they all agreed that

they each would draw a snake on the ground and the one who first finished

drawing would be given the wine. So they began to draw on the ground with

sticks.

It was not long before one of the three finished drawing his snake. He took

up the bottle of wine with pride. He was about to drink when he found the other

two were still busy with their drawings. “How slow you are!” said he, “I can

even add feet to my snake before you finish yours.” He put down the bottle and

began to add feet to his snake. But before he finished, another man took hold of

the bottle and said ,“Ive finished. Snakes have no feet, so yours is not a

snake.” With these words he drank up the wine.

As the society developing,noisy has effect our healthy and work.The result of noisy is that people dont protect our environment.They think our socitey is developing so fast,noisy is less and less important.But,if we dont have a good environment,how should we develop our lives? Lets keep us from the noisy.We should have a quiet and good environment to study and work.And only by this can we develop well.I think that everyone makes a contribution to protect our environment,the noisy can disappear sooner or later,our world can become more and more beautiful.

【参考译文】

随着社会的发展，噪声影响了我们的健康和工作。吵闹的结果是人们不保护我们的环境。他们认为我们的社会发展如此之快，噪音是不重要的。但是，如果我们没有一个好的环境，我们应该怎样发展我们的生活?让我们远离喧嚣，我们应该有一个安静和良好的环境来学习和工作，只有这样我们才能发展得很好，我认为每个人都作出贡献，保护我们的环境，嘈杂可以消失迟早，我们的世界变得越来越美丽。

A cigarette after a meal, happy as the fairy. "The other words right, but for a long time, a cigarette for you it is not enough.

Smoking increases the risk of cancer, also can let you lungs become yellow, if is pregnant women smoke, belly child is very poor, will suffer because you smoke. Have a friend call you smoke, please say "no", not easy to accept each other, make oneself sink down. The disadvantages of smoking too much too much, smoke so expensive, how do you willing to spend money to buy? Smoke a pack a day, a year, it will all be spent a lot of yourself or for her to earn the money.

If I were you, I would put the money to buy cigarettes, over the years, you can buy more valuable items. If your boyfriend is a dazed and confused love smoking guy, please advise him not to smoke any longer, if not be persuaded, also asks you to slowly, quietly leave him. Also good smoke, smoke can let you have a lot of spirit, but it is the burden, the consequence is very serious, people stop smoking, we should also be a good happy for him.

Today smoking is a lot of, if your mom and dad, will smoke, please also advise them!!!! Secondhand smoke also is very bad.

饭后一根烟，快乐似神仙。”这句话说得没错，可是抽久了，对你来说一根烟根本是不足够的。

抽烟得到癌症的机率提高，也会让你肺部变黄黄的，如果是孕妇抽烟，肚子里的孩子很可怜，会因为你抽烟而遭殃。有朋友叫你抽烟，请一定说“不”，不要容易接受对方，使自己向下沉沦。抽烟的坏处实在太多太多了，烟那么贵，你怎么舍得花钱去买呢?一天一包，抽一年的话，就会白白花掉很多自己或爸妈赚来的血汗钱。

如果是我，我会把那些买烟的钱省下来，过了好几年，就可以买更有价值的物品了。如果你的男朋友是个年少轻狂爱抽烟的家伙，请劝劝他不要在抽下去了，如果不听劝，也请你慢慢的、默默的离开他。烟也有好处，烟可以让你很有精神，不过它造成的负担、后果很严重，戒烟的人，我们也应该好好的替他开心。

如今抽烟的人还是很多，如果你的爸爸、妈妈，也会抽烟，也请你劝劝他们吧!吸二手烟也是很不好的。

Our school is far away from the downtown. As a result, it is a good place

for students to study. We won’t be disturbed by the crowded people and the

noise. For me, I like the scenery in the campus, trees are around, especially

when I look out of the window in the break time. I will look at the scenery that

is far away, sometimes I can see birds flying. There is a road that circles the

mountain, which looks like a snake. When cars are driving in the road, I will be

wondering who is coming, maybe our parents or just some strangers. The scenery

outside the window provides me another world. I like to think about a lot of

questions and sometimes my thought will go around the mountain. This is my

little world.

Good morning !

That’s all. Thank you for giving me the chance.

Talking of examinations,I feel that they are one of the important

activities in school life.Since the first day I went to school,I have had to

deal with them almost every day.All through my secondary school days,I have gone

through al kinds of exams,entrance exams,tests,quizzes and so on. I have tasted

the flavour of happiness,sadness and laughter.

Before every exam,there is always a certain time for me to suffer.The world

before me seems to be sad and gloomy.I feel that all my books are

disgusting.During examinations,I am always like a computer.I try hard to squeeze

out every piece of information to answer my questions.A machine has no

feelings,but I am nervous,my heart beats hard.

After the "swesty battle",the world seems to be bright again.A disaster is

over.I become lively again,and begin to discuss every problem with my

classmates.

From the golden-tipped fields of mid-west america to the ancient kingdoms of verdant palestine, there is a happy truth to be shared with all who would take heed. in more recent times, this truth has been expressed as: april showers bring may flowers. this is a truth that promises light bursting from darkness, strength born from weakness and, if one dares to believe, life emerging from death.

从美国中西部金色的田野，到巴勒斯坦嫩绿色的古老疆土，那些留心观察的人共享着同一个快乐真理。近来这一真理被阐述为：四月的雨带来五月的花。这一真理预示光明会从黑暗中迸发;刚强生自软弱;如果你敢确信，生命会从死亡中萌发!

farmers all over the world know the importance and immutability of the seasons. they know that there is a season to plant and a season to harvest; everything must be done in its own time. although the rain pours down with the utmost relentlessness, ceasing all outdoor activities, the man of the field lifts his face to the heavens and smiles. despite the inconvenience, he knows that the rain provides the nourishment his crops need to grow and flourish. the torrential rains in the month of april, give rise to the glorious flowers in the month of may.

全世界的农民们都明白季节的重要性和永恒性。他们知道在哪个季节播种，哪个季节收获，每件事都必须应时而做!虽然暴雨无情地倾盆而下，迫使所有的户外劳作停止，但土地的主人会仰天微笑。尽管有诸多不便，但是他知道，雨会为他的庄稼带来繁茂生长所需的营养。四月里的豪雨，会带来五月里的繁花似锦。

but this ancient truth applies to more than the crops of the fields; it is an invaluable message of hope to all who experience tragedy in life. a dashed relationship with one can open up the door to a brand new friendship with another. a lost job here can provide the opportunity for a better job there. a broken dream can become the foundation of a wonderful future. everything has its place.

但是这一古老真理并不只适用于田里的庄稼，它还是那些正经历着人生磨难的人的无限希冀：一段友谊的受挫会开启另一段崭新友谊的大门;此处失去的工作会提供彼处更好的工作机会;一个梦想的破灭会成为美好未来的基石。万物皆有道!

remember this: overwhelming darkness may endure for a night, but it will never overcome the radiant light of the morning. when you are in a season of sorrow, hang in there, because a season of joy may be just around the corner…

请谨记：势不可挡的黑暗或有一晚，但它永远无法阻挡清晨的万丈光芒!当你正处于悲伤之季，请坚持住，因为欢乐的季节也许马上就会到来……

Aerobic exercise is a series of activities which can improve our heart-lung function by maintaining longer, including running, bicycling, swimming and so on. It brings a lot of benefits to our body and psychology.

有氧运动是在长期坚持下可改善心肺功能的一系列活动。有氧运动包括跑步、骑单车、游泳等。这种运动十分有益于身心健康。Physically, taking aerobic exercise advances our physical health and reduces our agony. It promotes our heart and lung function by increasing their expansion and contraction, which is beneficial for resisting pressure from longtime labor or extra-strength work. And it improves fat consumption and metabolism, which lay a solid foundation for disease prevention. Meanwhile, it helps keep our body in a good shape by consuming the overfull calories.生理上，做些有氧运动可以提高我们身体健康，减少我们的痛苦。做有氧运动可增加心肺的伸缩，以提高心肺功能，有益于抵御长期的劳作和加班带来的压力。它还能促进脂肪的消耗，促进新陈代谢，预防疾病。同时，有氧运动还能消耗多余热量，有益于保持良好体型。Psychologically, acting aerobic exercise also conduces to our psychological health. We are able to be more confident and positive that we have capacity of doing something at the best, just like finishing our plans or achieving our destinations in exercise. Thus we can ventilate our negative feelings by doing workout so that we can strive for our dreams again.心理上，进行有氧运动还有利于我们的心理健康。通过户外锻炼我们能消除负面情绪，才能再次为梦想奋斗。Hence, for the wellbeing of body and mind, let us have some aerobic exercise together.因此，为了我们的身心健康，让我们一起来做有氧运动吧!

April 4th is the Tomb-sweeping Day in China, which is one of the most

important traditional festivals. The young people will come back home and sweep

tomb with their families. The meaning of Tomb-sweeping Day is to honor the

ancestors and it has more than 2500 years history. Chinese people pay special

attention to remember their ancestors, so no matter how far they are, they

always know where they are from. When they are old, they will return to the

place where they are from. It is a good tradition. The sense of belonging makes

people feel safe. Whats more, the relationship between relatives makes the

whole family become stronger, because people are united by the same ancestors.

Thus, they treat each other as families and give support all the time. What a

great tradition it is.

I am getting my internship now, I am being an English teacher in a college,

I really enjoy being a teacher, passing my knowledge to the students, I also

like to communicate with my students, we share own opinion and talk happily.

During those internship days, I realize that a good teacher should also be the

students’ friend.

As a teacher, my duty is to teach my students with my knowledge, I will do

my best to teach them, making them learn knowledge at the easiest way. At the

same time, I also need to improve myself, so that I will keep pace with the

world and refresh my knowledge, teaching my students with the newest

information.

As a friend, the students are willing to talk to me, they like to share

their happiness and sorrow with me, they need a listener and I am their best

choice. Being the students’ friend closers our distance, I can get to know them

and give my best advice.

A good teacher must be a good friend to students, that is what I have

learned during my internship days, I want to do my job well in the following

days.

Success, as is known, is the pursuit of many ambitious people. It requires much of a person.

In my  above all, one should be a person of strong perseverance. Rome was not built in a day. On our long way to success, there are  undoubtedly many difficulties standing in the way. If we lose heart and give up

halfway, nothing can be achieved. Throughout history, we havehad many famous successful people in the world, of whom no one is weak-minded. Take the great American scientist Edison as an example, he tried experiment after experiment and had one failure after another before he finally invented the bulb, which lighted up the whole world. So we can conclude perseverance can surely be one of the secrets of success. Furthermore, one needs to work hard to realize his dream just as the famous saying goes “Hard work leads to success”.

Look at these around us and we’ll find diligent people are always the favor of our society. They usually achieve more than expected. Why do so many of our classmates of average intelligence go far ahead of othersHard work is definitely supposed to be the answer. And still, I hold that one must keep in pace with the informative world. There’s no denying that our world is changing every day. So one can never be locked alone inside his own room, doing his research work and dedicated to book knowledge

How can an isolated person be well-informed enough to go ahead of othersIf so, that could be ridiculous. Success is what one desires. So long as one is perseverant, hard working and up-to-date, I am sure success is near at hand

Someone asks me what on earth happiness means? I cant give you the exact

definition of it, but Im sure if you love and help others, youll get it.

Ill never forget an old lady. She lives in a small house alone. Its said

that her husband and her son died in a traffic accident. How bitter her life

is!But the old lady often helps others with a smile. Whenever it snows, she is

always the first to clean the paths. She looks after several children living

nearby. I am one of them. I often remember the stories she told us and her kind

smile. Perhaps she is unlucky, but I think she is a happy person. Her life is

full of laughter and love.

But Im sad to see some people getting their happiness in bad ways.They

speak loudly in cinemas and meeting rooms; they destroy trees to enjoy

themselves and they laugh at others shortcomings. Perhaps they feel happy at

that time, but they will never get true happiness because they have lost their

personality.

Now I know what happiness is. It means kindness, love and unselfishness.

Above all, only bringing happiness to others can make you yourself get it.

In England, Germany and some other countries, children rolled eggs down hills on Easter morning, a game which has been connected to the rolling away of the rock from Jesus Christ‘s tomb when he was resurrected. British settlers brought this custom to the New World.

在英国，德国和其他一些国家，孩子们在复活节早晨滚下山鸡蛋，一个游戏已经连接到滚动的岩石从耶稣基督的坟墓的时候他复活。英国殖民者把这一风俗带到新世界。

In the United States in the early nineteenth century, Dolly Madison, the wife of the fourth American President, organized an egg roll in Washington, D.C. She had been told that Egyptian children used to roll eggs against the pyramids so she invited the children of Washington to roll hard-boiled eggs down the hilly lawn of the new Capitol building! The custom continued, except for the years during the Civil War. In 1880, the First Lady invited children to the White House for the Egg Roll because officials had complained that they were ruining the Capitol lawn. It has been held there ever since then, only canceled during times of war. The event has grown, and today Easter Monday is the only day of the year when tourists are allowed to wander over the White House lawn. The wife of the President sponsors it for the children of the entire country. The egg rolling event is open to children twelve years old and under. Adults are allowed only when accompanied by children!

在美国，在第十九世纪，早期的多莉麦迪逊，第四位美国总统的妻子，组织了一个鸡蛋卷在华盛顿哥伦比亚特区已经告诉她，埃及的孩子们在金字塔前滚鸡蛋，所以她邀请华盛顿的孩子滚鸡蛋煮熟了的新首都大厦的丘陵草坪!持续的习惯，除了年内战期间。1880，第一夫人邀请到白宫儿童鸡蛋卷因为官员抱怨他们毁了国会大厦草坪。一直以来就有过，只是取消了在战争时期。该事件已经发展壮大，今天星期一复活节是一年中唯一的一天允许游客在白宫的草坪上。孩子的整个国家总统夫人的赞助商这。的滚彩蛋活动是开放给十二岁以下儿童。只允许成年人陪同孩子的时候!

In my memory, though my hometown is a small village, it is very beautiful. When I was small, I liked to caught fish in the river, the water was so clean that I could see the fish. As I miss my hometown so much, last week, I went back to my hometown, I found the place in my memory was not like what it was. The trees were not that numerous, the roads became bigger, while there was less place for the river, I saw some dead fish in the river, the water was dirty, the river pollution was so serious! I couldn’t believe it, the beautiful hometown was destroyed by the pollution, it is people’s ambition results in it, they chase for the profit at the cost of polluting the environment. I wish people can pay attention to protect the environment, they are saving themselves, too.

在我的记忆中，虽然我的家乡是个小城镇，但是很美丽。当我还小的时候，我喜欢在河里抓鱼，河水是如此的干净以至于我能看到河里的鱼。由于抵挡不住对家乡的思念，上周，我回到了家乡，我发现我记忆中的城市再也不是它原来的样子了。树没以前的多，道路变得宽阔，然而河道却变得窄些了，我看到河中有一些死掉的鱼，河水是如此的脏，河流污染是如此的严重!我无法相信眼前的一切，美丽的家乡被污染给破坏了，人们的贪念导致了这个结果，他们为了追求利益，不惜以牺牲环境为代价。我希望人们能注意保护环境，这也是在保护他们自己。
