篇4:小学生五一劳动节演讲稿范文心得
全文共 852 字
+ 加入清单亲爱的老师、同学们:
大家好!
今天我讲话的题目是《劳动最光荣》。
再过几天我们就要迈进五月,同学们,你们知道5月1日是什么日子吗?对,国际劳动节!下面我首先为大家介绍一下“五一”国际劳动节的来历。“五一”国际劳动节起源于美国。1886年5月1日,美国工人举行大罢工,要求改善劳动条件,实行每天八小时工作制。工人们团结战斗,夺得了罢工的胜利。人们为了纪念这次胜利,就把这一天定为国际劳动节。现在,每年的“五一”劳动节,成为大家赞美劳动者、歌颂劳动者的节日。
马克思曾说:“任何一个民族,如果停止了劳动,不用说一年,就是几个星期也要灭亡。”发明家爱迪生说过:“世界上没有一种具有真正价值的东西,可以不经过辛勤劳动而能够得到的。”的确,劳动是世界上一切欢乐和一切美好事物的源泉,劳动是打开幸福之门的钥匙。同学们,热爱劳动是中华民族的传统美德,我们理应将它传承下去。作为一名小学生,我们应该“以辛勤劳动为荣,以好逸恶劳为耻。”,时刻牢记以下几点:首先,我们要努力学习,掌握丰富的知识,学会更多的技能,养成高尚的情操,为将来成为一名优秀的劳动者打下坚实的基础。知识就是力量,我们学会的知识越多,将来就能为祖国、人民做出更多的贡献。
其次,我们应该从小养成爱劳动的好习惯。在家里,自己能做的事情自己做,主动帮助爸爸、妈妈做一些力所能及的家务;在学校,认真做好值日工作,打扫教室卫生,养成随捡习惯,保持校园环境整洁;在节假日,我们还可以积极参加力所能及的公益活动。第三、我们要珍惜劳动成果。“谁知盘中餐,粒粒皆辛苦”。我们要从身边的小事做起,珍惜每一粒米、每一的水、每一分钱。第四、我们要尊重每一个劳动的人。劳动最光荣,劳动的人最美,每一位劳动者,都应该得到大家的尊重。我们的幸福生活来源于父母的日夜操劳,来源于老师的辛勤工作,来源于全社会广大劳动者的共同奉献,让我们向他们致于最崇高的敬意!
同学们,请大家始终牢记这样一句话,劳动最光荣!让我们从今天开始,从现在开始,用我们的双手去劳动、去创造属于我们的幸福生活吧!
谢谢大家!

About the origin of the Spring Festival, there is a old story. One is called "year" beast, will attack people from time to time. To ward off beasts years, people have to the last day of the old set off firecrackers and pasted red paper on the front door and window. Fortunately, the year for fear of the sound of firecrackers, and red stickers, dare not to come again. In order to commemorate the day, our ancestors put on the first day of the lunar New Year as the "Spring Festival".
During the Spring Festival, all the family members gather together for dinner on New Years eve night. Apple, fish, noodles, dumplings, pork, chicken, candy is an essential part of the table. "Fish" represents "more than" year after year; "Apple" herald "do things go in peace, the smooth". "Noodles" said "healthy life", as for the other, said will you have a good luck in the New Year.
The most happy children is the Spring Festival. Not only because they are more than a lot of friend, they can also get a red envelope. A red envelope, they can do anything you want to do: set off firecrackers, buy new clothes, buy everything you want. The best place for children, this is the Spring Festival, isnt it?

Anyway, the Spring Festival is the most meaningful family reunion, we spent together with family, this is the whole of the Spring Festival.
当你问周围的人,什么是中国最重要的节日,我想百分之九十九的人会说出同一个答案,那就是春节。关于春节的由来,还有个古老的故事。一个叫“年”的猛兽,会时不时的袭击人们。为了赶跑猛兽年,人们不得不在旧年的最后一天放鞭炮,在正门和窗户上贴上红纸。幸运的是,年因为害怕鞭炮的响声和红色的贴纸,不敢再来了。为了纪念这一天,我们的老祖宗把新年农历的第一天定为“春节”。
在春节期间,所有的家庭成员都在除夕的晚上会聚集在一起吃年夜饭。鱼、苹果、面条、饺子、猪肉、鸡肉、糖果是餐桌上必不可少的。“鱼”代表着“年年有余”;“苹果”预示着“做事情平平安安,顺顺利利”;“面条”表示“健康长寿”,至于其他的,表示新年会甜甜蜜蜜有好运气。
小孩子是春节中最高兴的。不仅仅是因为他们多了很多小伙伴,他们还能拿到红包。有了红包,他们可以做任何想做的事情:放鞭炮,买新衣服,买一切想要的东西。对小孩子来说,这就是春节最好的地方了,难道不是吗?
春节不仅仅意味着新年的开始,也承载着人们对新年的祝愿。我们希望新的一年愿望会实现,生活变得更好。不管怎么样,春节最有意义的就是阖家团圆,我们与家人一起度过,这就是春节的全部。

Dear Sir,
I saw your advertisement for "the perfect lighter" in Sunday Times last week and immediately sent off a £2 postal order and the completed form for the lighter.
Imagine my surprise when all I got in return was a box of matches! I could understand a mistake. I might even pardon a joke. But in this case, your advertisement is a deliberate lie since a friend of mine who also sent the coupon got the same result.
I think its a shame to promise an economical lighter when in fact you are not selling a lighter a1 all. Instead of saying it works quickly, you should admit that you are offering matches. And what about "only" £2: I usually pay 10 pennies for a box of matches, and they are often given away free.
I regard your advertisement as a serious deception and demand that you send me my money back immediately. Otherwise I will take active steps to make sure the Consumers Association hear about it.
Yours faithfully,
Peter Li
