小学英语演讲作文小故事(精选20篇)

对于读书，很多名人都留下了名句，比如列宁就说过：“书籍是进步的力量”，还有我们很熟悉的读书名句——书山有路勤为径，学海无涯苦作舟。这些读书名言名句都无不体现了读书对于我们的重要性。

在我的书柜里，就有很多各种关于各种类型的书籍，每一本我用时间看过的书都给我留下了不可磨灭的印象，它们一直伴随着我的成长，帮助我解除在我的成长道理上出现的“疑难杂症”。说起我的书得来可是费了我不少的力的，其中的《趣味数学》就是经过我的不懈努力才得到的。

暑假期间，我去我的一个朋友家玩，一下子就被他订的《趣味数学》吸引住了：这本书讲述了一个个有趣的小故事，让人们在不知不觉中就已经学到了各种各样的解题方法。我深深被这本书吸引了，下决心一定要买这本书，当得知这本书半年四十元时，我心里就有些犯嘀咕了，妈妈会不会给我买呢？这可不便宜啊！但是，还是爱书的心占了上风，我硬着头皮试探性的和妈妈商量买书的事情。

妈妈还挺支持我的，但是又说：“这本书是你自己要买的。这样吧，从今天起，你每考一个第一名我就发给你二十元，第二名十元，第三名五元，好好努力吧。”我听到这，特别高兴，幸亏我遇到了一个明智的老妈，从那天开始，我就一直努力学习，每当我疲倦时，就有一股强大的买书的欲望支撑着我，终于，我的了两个第一，一个第二，获得了五十元，拿到钱，我便迫不及待地跑向书店，终于买到了我梦寐以求的《趣味数学》，果然，这本书没有辜负我对他的期望，内容精彩至极，我也从这本书中，学到了许多课堂上学不到的知识。

这就是我和这本书之间的故事，现在我仍然坚持订阅每一期的《趣味数学》，这本书会一直伴随着我成长。

轻轻的打开抽屉，从那紫色的盒子里拿出一张照片——一群孩子戴着红领巾，穿着清一色的校服。还有穿着工作服，憔悴的脸上，一改往日的严肃而显得万分慈祥的老师们。大家的笑脸都定格在照片上。若不是我当时和他们一样，心情正因同窗分别而十分悲伤，恐怕我也会被他们这极力表现的开心而欺骗。

那是一个炎热的夏季，阳光刺得眼睛生疼生疼的。我们在诺大的操场上站着，显得多么渺小、多么无助。班主任拍了拍手，示意我们可以拍毕业照了。大家按部就班地站在各自的位置上。

今天的我们很乖，没有往日的喧闹与杂乱，可班主任的脸上却看不出一丝欣慰。

“好!准备!茄子!”摄像人员眼疾手快地按下了快门。

本以为可以解散了，可摄像人员看着我们刚刚拍下的照片，额头上出现了一个“川”字。“不行，这个得重新照，刚才——光线没掌握好。”

再一次，“茄子!”的话音刚落，摄像人员又为我们重新拍了一张。

“你们怎么了?一个个都跟苦瓜似的，笑一下，不可以吗?”摄像人员的耐心用完了，一气之下说出了真相。可过后他也后悔了。因为此话一出，我们积蓄已久的泪水便毫不费力的冲破了我们辛苦修筑的堤岸。

空气中充满了眼泪的咸味儿，而后被时间所蒸发，藏进了回忆的云层里。

每每拿起这张照片，我便会想起那个夏日，你们那稚气未脱的脸上挂满了泪珠、你们那因为哭泣而抖动的肩膀，好像一个锤子，一下又一下的打击着我的心，让我疼得眼泪花花。

这张老照片，蕴含的故事是最悲伤的，却也是令我视若珍宝。

一天我在外面玩，看见许多小朋友在玩“骑自行车比赛”。我情不自禁的想起了第一次学骑自行车的情景。

那是我读三年级的一个星期天，我找我的好朋友雷奇去玩，我看见他在院子里自由自在的骑着自行车，我羡慕的说：“我也要学自行车，雷奇你的自行车借我学一下吧？”他想了想说：“好吧，不过学会了就得用你自已的车”我点头说：“好的”接过自行车我很激动，终于可以骑自行车玩了。可是要怎样开始呢？我当时也没想哪么多，抓着车把就往前冲，结果失败了，还狠狠的摔了一跤，不服气的我又试了好几次，结果摔的更历害了，心想学个自行车怎么就这么难呢？痛的我都不想学了。雷奇见了就扶我起来细心的对我说不要灰心，刚开始学都这样，你只要先扶着自行车把方向稳住，然后向前滑行一段路，再迅速踩上脚踏，最后再骑上去就行了，这时我想起了妈妈每次骑车的时候也是这样的，我试了一下啊，我竟然向前骑了好长一段路，看来这个方法果然有用，经过多次练习后我终于成功了，我真高兴。

这件事既让我学会了骑自行车又懂得了一个道理，天下无难事，只怕有心人只要坚持不懈你就一定能成功。

一天，大蝴蝶在花园里碰见了一只小蝴蝶。

大蝴蝶哈哈笑了起来，它傲慢地说：“小家伙不要到处乱飞，这是我的地盘。”突然，大蝴蝶的翅膀不小心碰到了一个破旧的蜘蛛网，大蝴蝶惊慌失措，它拼命地挣扎。看到这，小蝴蝶也哈哈地笑了起来，幸灾乐祸地说道：“我虽然小，却不会像你那样乱飞……”这时，一个小朋友悄悄地走到小蝴蝶身后，猛的一扑，把小蝴蝶抓住了。

大蝴蝶吃了一惊，它一用力飞了起来。大蝴蝶看了看被抓住的小蝴蝶感慨地说：“我们在嘲笑别人的时候，一定要注意身边的危险哦，千万不要得意忘形。”

America. The statue is a gift to the people of United States from people of

France. The meaning of freedom and friendship are shared by both countries.

夜幕已经降临，小星星在媽媽温暖的怀抱里入睡。小星星一觉醒来，发现她来到了一个陌生的地方，但是这个地方的环境十分优美，到处都有山清水秀，鸟语花香的场景。许多许多星星在忙碌着，一会儿拉着一辆空车去采药，一会儿又拿着一些小星星不知名的原料满载而归。花花碌碌的一大堆。这里都是跟小星星一模一样的小星星，一经过打听才知道，春姑娘生病了。

小星星们正在研制一种药物来治疗春姑娘。春姑娘得了一种叫做乙型H1N1的流感病毒，解药要三百六十颗星星用自生的光芒来制作才会有效。小星星想怪不得今年的春天来得这么慢呢！

由于只有三百五十九颗小星星，所以她呢，一个人要担当两个人的重任，小星星每天早出晚归，把身体都累倒了，一天，小星星又去森林里采药，因为每天劳累，她又昏迷了过去，忽然，一只觅食的小鸟飞到她的身旁。把自己嘴里辛辛苦苦找到的野果喂到她的嘴里，使她从朦胧中醒来。终于，经过了七七四十九天的制作，药物制作完成了。可是小星星因为劳累而积劳成疾，在太阳的余晖下一睡不醒了。

从此以后，小星星的神像被矗立在春天的花冈山上，让小行星的灵魂有一个归宿。

春回大地，万物复苏，春姑娘自从听了这件事之后，被感动得潸然泪下，应此励志要做一个全心全意为大众服务的春姑娘。春雨绵绵，所以春天才会让大家陶醉！

星期六，狐狸小姐开了一间森林服装店。

小斑马、梅花鹿和青蛙一起去森林服装店去买自己喜欢的衣服。她们来到服装店，里面有许许多多的衣服，把她们看得眼花缭乱。梅花鹿一眼就看中了那件印有梅花图案的衣服。小斑马也买了一件有黑和白两种条纹交错的衣服。而青蛙左看看，右看看，也看中了黑和绿条纹交错的衣服。梅花鹿穿上新衣服，向小伙伴家走去。梅花鹿来到了小伙伴家，问小伙伴：“这件衣服好看吗?”大家都不约而同地说：“真是好看极了，哪里买的?让我们也去买一件合适自己的衣服。”“森服装店。”梅花鹿说。

小斑穿上了新衣服。正想回家，不料遇上了一只豹子。豹子一心想吃小斑马。小斑马立刻躲进了草丛里。豹子跑过去，不见小斑马的踪影。弄得它丈二的和尚摸不着头脑。豹子一边走回家，一边自言自语地说：“奇怪!小斑马哪去了呢?一眨眼的工夫，怎么不见了?莫非是我眼花，看错了吧?”小斑马莫名其妙地想：“咦?怎么穿上这件衣服，豹子就找不着我呢?不行，我要叫别人也买一件。让他们也不受到敌人的攻击。”小斑马高高兴兴地跑回家，把这件事告诉了爸爸妈妈，爸爸妈妈听了都夸小斑马聪明。于是每个斑马都有了一件那样的衣服。

青蛙也穿上新衣服，蹦蹦跳跳地回家。突然，从路上窜出一只大蛇想吃青蛙。青蛙想：“这件衣服大部分是绿色的，这里没有河，也没有池子。草丛是绿色的，就往那藏一藏吧。”

青蛙跳进草丛，大蛇怎么也找不到她了。青蛙回到家也把事情告诉爸爸，爸爸说：“叫亲戚也买这件衣服吧。大家就不怕敌人了。”从此每个青蛙都有一件那样的衣服。

第二天，小斑马、梅花鹿和青蛙互相说着自己昨天买的衣服有什么好处。都夸森林服装店的衣服好。

从此，森林服装店的生意越来越好。

导读：哲理小故事能够引起小朋友们的兴趣，在看故事的同时也能从中学习到一些人生哲理，在外国也有许多的哲理小故事，下面小编为大家整理了一些短篇英语哲理小故事，希望大家能够喜欢。

一、THRIFT 节俭

There is not a (no) thrifty man but becomes a rich man sooner or later. Why? Because he will not spend such money as is unnecessary. Little by little his money will accumulate. Ten to one, he is bound to make a fortune.

I do not like such men as spend their money in a wrong way. They do not know extravagance is a bad thing. It can only make them happy for the time being. In short, thrift makes poor men rich and extravagance makes rich men poor.

一个没有一个节俭的人迟早不成为一个富翁。为什么？因为他决不花像那种不必要的钱。渐渐他的钱就会聚积起来。十之八九，他一定会发财的。

我不喜欢那种乱花钱的人。他们不知道奢侈是一件坏事。它只能够使他们暂时快乐而已。总而言之，节俭使穷人变富，奢侈使富人变穷。

二、PERSEVERANCE 毅力／坚忍

Needless to say, nothing but perseverance can lead a man to the way of success. In other words, a persevering man never does his work without succeeding in it. This is indeed unchangeable truth.

Our National Father, Dr.  , is the most ideal example. He was devoted to the revolution about forty years. He met with many failures, but he was anything but discouraged. As a result, he won. The Republic of China was born.

不需说，只有毅力才能引导人迈向成功之途。换句话说，一个具有毅力的人做工作终是(never...without)会把它做成功的。这真是不易之定理也。

我们国父是一个最理想的例了.致力国民革命凡四十年。他遭遇到许多次的失败，但是他决不灰心。结果，他赢了。诞生了。

三、WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY 有志者事竟成

The secret of success (The key to success) is not so much money as a strong will. A great man is one who has a strong will and an indomitable spirit. In other words, if a man does not have a strong will to win (get) the final victory, he will never succeed in his life. He is no more than a failure.

It is quite obvious that there is no difficult thing (nothing difficult) in the world. if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason.

成功的要诀不是金钱而是一个坚强的意志（用not so mush... as）。一个大人物是一个具有坚强意志和不屈不挠精神的人。换句话说，如果一个人没有坚强意志去获得最后胜利的人，他终其一生永远不会成功。他只不过是（用no more than）一个失败者。

很显明的世界上并没有难事。如果你下定决心去做它，你一定会达到目的。那是显而易见的。

四、Whale 鲸鱼

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.

The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.

The little girl stated that a whale swallowed Jonah.

Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.

The little girl said,“When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah.”

The teacher asked,“What if Jonah went to hell?”

The little girl replied,“Then you ask him.”

一个小女孩和她的老师正在谈论有关鲸鱼的事情。

她的老师说：“一头鲸鱼从身体构造的角度看，是不可能吞掉一个人的。因为尽管鲸鱼是一种非常巨大的哺乳动物，可它的嗓子非常小。”

那个小女孩说：“约拿(一位西伯来先知)就是被鲸鱼吞掉的。”

她的老师非常生气，她再次告诉小女孩说：“从身体构造角度来讲，鲸鱼是不可能吞掉一个人的。”

那个小女孩说：“那等我到了天堂，就去问问约拿。”

她的老师问：“那么，假如约拿下了地狱怎么办?”

那个小女孩回答：“如果是那样的话，你就去问他。”

“哗、哗、哗”你猜，这是什么声音?这就是我——一个小书迷翻书的声音。我喜欢读书，那曲折离奇，充满幻想的情节让我着迷。

说起读书，大家一定会想到许多名言，如：书山有路勤为径，学海无涯苦作舟;书犹药也，善读之可以医愚;书籍是人类进步的阶梯等等。我呢，读书也并不全是为了学习成绩，也可以说是个人的兴趣爱好吧!所以我家100多本书中大多是科幻书、小说书、故事书等课外的，像关于写作类的书就很少了。

记得有一次爸爸给我买了一本新书，那是正好是傍晚。我一拿到书就闻到了那种令人陶醉在其中的墨香味，我迫不及待的翻开看了起来，就算是坐车的时间我也没放过。一直到了要睡觉时我才看完一半。唉，只因我速度太慢没把它看完，后来我灵机一动，头上冒出个”小灯泡“——晚上开台灯偷看。在偷看时，我不免觉得有些对不起眼睛。所以后来我就不用这个”鬼主意“了。

Like every young girl, I pay attention to make myself look pretty, because

if I get more attention from others, I will be very happy. So I start to follow

the models and the movies stars dressing style, then I find that compare to

their skinny bodies, I look like a fat girl. So I have made up my mind to lose

weight. As my body is in the growth period, my parents always ask me to eat

more. When they find me start to eat less, they think I am sick. I tell them

that I want to look beautiful, then my mother says that I am beautiful in her

eyes. If I dont eat, I will look old. I search the Internet. The pictures of

skinny girls scare me, so I give up losing weight. My annoyance is gone, and I

am happy again.
