励志英语演讲短文（精彩19篇）

转眼间，小升初到来了，我的英语学习计划也实施的更加顺利。我相信，只有一个良好的学习计划，才能让我的英语更加出色。

晨起听磁带、背单词，午后读书籍，晚上做练习 ，这些都已是习惯了。坚持下来，我的英语在听、说、读、写四大块上都有了全方面的提高，也能应付猛虎般的试题了——

听磁带，是纠正我们英语发音的一个重要途径。每天模仿磁带里的语音和口吻读，久而久之就会成为一种习惯。有了标准的读音，就不会再为音标题而发愁了。

阅读也是必不可少的一部分，英语书籍、英语杂志、英语小文，都是很好的英语阅读的选择。这样做，既可以开阔视野、增长见识，让我了解更多外国的风俗和习性。更可以学习到更多的英语单词。读得多了，我在对英语的阅读理解上也会有很大的提高。让英语水平步步高升。

我还将购买一些七年级的英语众享课程，和名师面对面学习英语，也是在做一个英语的拔高。这样可以提前学习初中的内容，让我在升学后迅速适应。也为升学考试时的“突击题”做防备，让成绩更加理想。我将把英语的句型结构和表达方法深深地印在脑海里，努力学好每一词、走好每一步。

我在博客里发了2篇英语小文，虽说在语法上还有错误，但在校讯通里热心的老师的指点下，最终改正了过来。我以后也会多多注意这些用法，争取下次不再犯相同的错误。我相信，一点一滴的积累，最终会化为知识传输到大脑里的。学习之余我还会多多学习博友们的英语作文，好进行对比与学习。

此外，我还要搜集一些名校真题，抽出时间练习一下。只有对自己意中的学校的试题有一个大体了解，把握才能更大。其次，我可以从每次试题的错误中查漏补缺，及时弥补自己的不足之处。

英语是升学考试中必不可少的一门学科，我将不懈努力，向着理想的中学，冲刺！

Some people in the fierce competition of the rough waves swept away, has never recovered. Some people are against the tuyere, set foot on top, on the shore, they succeeded. Because they have much a stick to it. Forefront for them is not a stumbling block, but padding their own foundation.

Born easy, live easy, life is not easy. Life is a process of life. No wind, no rain? It is because of the baptism of wind and rain to see the colorful rainbow; With the pain of failure will taste the joy of success. Turgenev in the rudin, said: "although our life short and small, but great everything is caused by the hand of the people; a life, realize the lofty mission, that is their supreme happiness in life." We are to create this society, inevitably some injury, through the tears.

Time, fast turn, across one dream magic song.

Life, be about to rush out a way to! In order to cause, in order to struggle in life, despite losing a lot of, but is there will be! And are often more important than lost, it is the value and meaning of life.

Life is long, the years.

How can we predict the future? But only clear conscience my heart! Life, because there is competition, people have power; Life, because of the struggle, the people to the pursuit of excellence.

Smoke in life, like a cloud, the wind. Transient. "Only the people and the backing car, there is no reverse time and road", since we came to today, and possession of todays social status and responsibility, only forward, forward, forward again! Dont retreat. Young people, more important is to see tomorrow, seize today, forge ahead in the quiet, perhaps before the sun mountain tomorrow, you created a miracle again!

WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY

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.

2013湖北高考英语作文题目：结合事例用英语写一篇短文

以下是无忧考网为大家整理的2013湖北高考英语作文题目：结合事例用英语写一篇短文

请根据以下提示，并结合事例，用英语写一篇短文。

We all know that "sticks and stones may break our bones", but we should also be aware that words can hurt people, too.

注意：①无须写标题，不得照抄英语提示语;

②除诗歌外，文体不限;

③文中不得透露个人姓名和学校名称;

④词数为120左右。

First I want to ask you some questions:

1、 Do you know what is youth?

2、 How do you master your youth?

Youth

Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . Nobody grows old merely by a number of years . We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . Worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .

Whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living . In the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .

When the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.

Thank you!

Little is a golden retriever. Remember in the winter of 2007, the snow was falling thickand the wind was its mother put it, born a month later I went to grandma house held it back, but it is small, it is about two jins, little living in my house for a year or so, and because my house without the loess, and the urine is also an issue, but under my mother had to send it is grandmas house, little just walk a couple of days, and I think it all the time, what matter all downhearted, time is long, I also gradually forgotten.

To from one day, mother said: didnt go to grandmas house for a long time, lets go and see, that makes me fiercely remembered Id left a good friend, after lunch, we went to grandmas house, a meeting, I almost didnt recognize, also was like a "bean sprouts" puppy, is now, thick and tall, look the jovian, has a bit of light red nose, looks very spirit.

On the way home, I want to for a long time, why at the beginning of the puppy to grandma house can grow up? Eat fat? I think its because my grandma home food is to its liking. Ha ha, my little little cute.

我家有一只小狗，名叫点点，今年三岁，毛色是浅黄色的，非常讨人喜欢，点点的鼻子黑黑的，长得及小，它天生有一种傲慢的性格。

点点是一只金毛。还记的2007年冬天，正下着鹅毛大雪，它的母亲把它生下来，一个月以后我去姥姥家把它抱了回来，但它分外的小，它就是两斤左右，点点在我家生活了一年左右，因为我家没有黄土，点点的大小便也成了一个问题，无奈之下妈妈不得不把它寄存在姥姥家，点点刚走的的那几天，我无时无刻不在想它，干什么事都无精打彩，时间久了，我也渐渐淡忘了。

至从有一天，妈妈说：好久没去姥姥家了，今天去看看吧，这使我猛的想起了被我遗忘的好朋友点点，吃过午饭，我们去了姥姥家，一见面，我还差点没有认出，当初像“豆芽形”的小狗，现在却长得又粗又高，看起来威风凛凛的，鼻子上也有一点淡淡的红色，显得格外精神。

在回家的路上，我想了许久，为什么当初的小狗到了姥姥家就长大了?也吃胖了呢?我想是因为姥姥家的饭很合它的胃口吧。呵呵，我家的小点点可爱吧。

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。”

关于旅游的英语作文

I love traveling. Traveling not only broadens my horizons but also opens my eyes to the world. Whats more, it refreshes me. You can go to Disneyland and experience what its like to be “a child again!” You can visit one of the“seven wonders of the world,” such as the Grand Canyon and feel the magnificence of nature! You can taste the “magical” ice water on a glacier, which can help you become more beautiful and make you live longer. Just forget all trifles and burdens that you have in your mind. Experience is a type of living knowledge. Youll be sure to experience many new things when traveling. You dont even need a tour guide if you long for more freedom. Just dont forget to bring your backpack!

Tourism has enjoyed sex. Tourism in order to escape from real life stress, relax, feel differently through the journey, different experiences, the pursuit of joy to experience. Tourist enjoying enjoyment of the physiology of the body, or it can be free of emotion and imagination. Tourism is enjoying nature and allows people to really integrate into the grounds, enjoy a very enjoyable trip.

旅游具有享受性。旅游是人们为了逃离现实生活工作的压力、自我放松，通过旅途中不同的感受，不同的经历，追求愉悦身心的体验。旅游的享受性既可是身体的生理的享受，也可以是情感的无拘无束，充满想象。因此旅游是具有享受性的，让人们真正融入到旅途中，享受旅途快乐。

旅游的意义在于有所发现，然后提升自我。

Travel is all about discovery and self. Yudan, famous scholars, Professor of Beijing Normal University

The teachers words made me realize that tourism is not the meaning of travel thousands of miles, but from thousands of miles were found journey. Road, we encountered a situation is uncertain, constantly changing environment can sometimes give us surprises, and more is let us start thinking experiences that are already starting to rediscover yourself. When we swim in tourist destinations, as well as the native way of life when it is hard to fit into their lives, then let us have more opportunity to quietly reflect on our old life, or even think about life.

Tourists wandering in different landscapes, different ways of life,between different cultures, there will always be people emotions occur collisions, human heart incline quiet, wide, clear thoughts, find something that usually wouldnt find out. Come tour these feeling are incredible, it often is our own, to a deeper understanding of life and feeling, the point of which is tourism

于老师的这段话让我认识到，旅游的意义不是踏遍千山万水，而是从千山万水的旅途中有所发现。旅途中我们所遇到的情况都是不确定的，在不断变化的环境中有时会给我们惊喜，而更多的则是让我们从已有的经历中开始重新认识思考自己。当我们穿梭在旅游地以及当地人的生活方式中时，我们很难融入进他们的生活，则让我们有更多机会去静静思考我们原有的生活，甚至思考生命。

旅游者游走在不同的景观，不同的生活方式，不同的文化背景之间，总会让人的情感心灵发生碰撞，让人的心倾刻宁静、胸怀广阔、思绪明朗，发现平时所发现不了的东西。旅游中得来的这些感悟是难能可贵的，它常常是我们对自己、对生命更深层次的理解与感悟，这也正是旅游的意义所在 Everyone has a different definition of travel, some people only think of travel as a way of relaxing, while others travel as a learning, they need to be alone on the roads, one free lessons of travel are nutrients for their growth helped.

每个人对旅行的定义都不同，有些人仅仅把旅行当作放松的一种方式， 而有些人把旅行当作一种学习，他们需要孤身上路，一个人随心所欲的汲取旅行中得到的养分，为自己成长助益。

Someone said, "life is just a journey, traveling is the taste of a different life." Travel, is to leave the familiar place, then dont return. Travel, is to return to the starting place and know it again.

Travel is a point on the map, leaving their footprints, then slowly and taste memories. Travel is to experience a variety of geography and culture, there has a different way of life,

has a different kind of life posed by the varied cultural polymorphism.

有人说“人生其实就是一场旅行，旅行就是体味不同的人生”。

旅行，就是离开生活熟悉的地方，然后不一样的归来。旅行，就是重新回到出发的地方，并重新认识它。

旅行，就是在地图上的一个点，留下自己的脚印，然后慢慢回忆和品味。旅行，就是体验不同的地理和文化，那里有着别样的生存

方式，有着别样的人生所构成的多姿多态的文化。

Travels on Holiday China

Nowadays, more and more people like to travel in their holidays. The other day I read a report about the ways people spend their holidays. It is reported that in recent years several new holiday habits have been developed. Among them, the most interesting one is the growth of the so-called holiday camps.

Why did those changes appearI think there are several reasons. First, it s because people can afford traveling. Second, people prefer to pursue a high-quality and colorful life. Third, their attitudes to relaxation have changed. Less people want to save much money by leading a simple life. In short, peoples living standard today has been rising greatly. The Best Way of Traveling

最好的旅游方式

People travel by plane, by train, by ship, by bus. For me, the best way of traveling on a summer vacation is to go on foot.

人们去旅游有的乘飞机、有的坐火车、坐船、乘公共汽车。对我来说在暑假，最好的方式是徒步旅行。 My preference depends on the purpose of the travel. On a summer vacation I travel to refresh myself and to see the countryside. When I use my feet and walk on a grass covered path along a river or among the hills I feel detached from the noise of the city and closer to the nature. And when I travel on foot I get more freedom. I can plan my own schedule. I can choose my own route. I can stop where I like. And I can see things and people that I might miss if I travel on a train or on a bus.

我的偏好取决于旅行的目的。在暑假我旅游是为了消除疲劳并欣赏乡村美景。当我沿着河流或在群山之间走在一条青草覆盖的路上时，我觉得我远离了城市的喧嚣、亲近了自然。徒步旅行，使我很自由。我可以自己安排行程。可以选择我自己的路线。我可以把车子停在我喜欢的地方。而且我可以遇到那些坐火车或公共汽车会错过的人和事。

When faster and more convenient ways for travel are becoming available, I still favor using my own feet. I get much pleasure from it. People travel by plane, by train, by ship, by bus. To me, the best way of traveling on a summer vacation is to go on foot.

当更迅速、更方便的方式使旅游变得更便捷，我仍然热衷于徒步旅行。我从中得到许多乐趣。人们去

旅游有的乘飞机、有的坐火车、坐船、乘公共汽车。对我来说在暑假，最好的方式是徒步旅行。 Tour is not only a personal interest but also a kind of knowledge. A merry journey will be the memory that you can’t forget through your lifetime. It’s really at ease if you wander with two or three china pates who have a little exploratory energy to stay in the interesting places as long as you want but just ignore the unsightly places.

旅游不单是一种兴趣，还是一门学问，快乐的旅途是你终生难忘的回忆。要是有点探险精神的，三两同游，好玩的多逗留，游个饱，不好的不看也罢，自由自在；

It’s not good to join the travel agency otherwise we should call it gaining a superficial understanding through cursory observation but not traveling. Of course, we should study to choose a most toward occasion for the most famous and beautiful scene in the places before we are going to.

不参加旅游团为好，那叫走马观花，不叫旅游。当然，出去之前应该研究一下，要知道你想前往的地方最出名最美丽的风光何时才有

And we need enough money, enough time, special channel and also an economical plane, it’s convenient for us. And we can save more time to view the blue sky generally and look out upon the cloud dancing freely outside the plane.

要是有足够的钱，宽容的时间，路线也应讲究，经济许可的可坐飞机，便捷省时，一览碧空，看云儿在脚下自由自在的飘舞；

It’s also not bad to travel by train. Enjoy the scenery out of the train on the way, just look around here and there , maybe you can get some new friends in this narrow but long carriage. Certainly you’d better choose the different path when you return back from the place of interest so that you can make your eyes full of the landscape of interest on the way and never need to revisit the once familiar place. How far-flung and galland the rivers and mountains in our homeland are! There are still too many places we can go.

坐火车呢，那也不俗，沿途景致，这边看看那边望望，说不定在车上还能交上朋友呢！当然来回路线最好不要一样，这样可把沿途的山水名胜游个饱，将来也不用再到这一片热土作重游之想了。我们的祖国啊河山辽阔壮丽，要去的地方多着呢。

Time is limited but the interest of traveling is limitless. We travel just because of our love knot to the natural mountains and rivers!

旅游之趣，不是一时能谈完的，不过，旅游，皆自对山水之钟情呵！

During traveling, one can meet various people, make new friends and experience various lifestyles of different places.

The modern city, strenuous living, quickly and crowded living space make more and more people try to come to the dame nature with their light packs and travel bags. There is a song which just show peoples the dream of traveling long distance.

现代都市，生活的高节奏，生存空间的喧嚣和拥挤，使越来越来的人背起行囊轻装走向自然，记得有一首歌《我想去桂林》，正很好地唱出了人们想去远游的愿望。

Traveling, of course, it’s to get into the physical landscape which can help to give you a good temper, wash away the dust from your soul and make you cheer the nice life.

旅游，当然是到真正的山水中去，可以陶冶你的情操，荡涤心灵的尘埃，令你欢呼生命的美好。

The Great Wall

The Great Wall building has a long history, vast engineering magnificent, is the worlds rare miracle. The Great Wall is the four corners of the world, stretching in our great motherland vast land. It looks like a great dragon, surmounts lofty hills, through the vast grassland, across the vast desert, towards the vast sea. According to historical records, more than 20 states and feudal dynasty built the Great Wall, if constructs each time the Great Wall together, about 100000 miles above. The length of the Great Wall that was built by The Qin, Han, and Ming 3 Dynasty was more than 10 kilo miles. Now our country Xinjiang, Gansu, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Henan, Shandong, Hubei, Hunan and other province, city, autonomous regions have the ancient the Great Wall, peak fire platform remains. Of which only the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region the Great Wall amounted to more than 3.

The Ming Dynasty in the" outside" beyond the Great Wall, also built" inside" and" three" the Great Wall the Great Wall. " Neiguan" the Great Wall in the Northern Qi Dynasty had built for the foundation, from Inner Mongolia and Shanxi at the junction of west east “Pianguan”, the Yanmenguan, flat various pass into Hebei, and then turned to the northeast, Fangshan, Changping, the source

" Three" the Great Wall in many places and" inside" the Great Wall, some places two cities are separated by only tens of in. In addition, but also to build a large number of" repeated walls". Yanmenguan area" repeated walls “to have 24 much!

The Great Wall is the working people in ancient China created the miracle. Beginning with QinShihuang, constructs the Great Wall always is a big project.

There were no machinery, in addition to earth, carrying bricks can use donkeys, goats can climb the cattle, all labor and all must rely on manpower, work environment and high mountains and lofty hills, cliff. Can imagine, no large crowds on hard work, is unable to complete the great project.

The great wall of the engineering quantity, according to rough estimates, only constructs take the Ming Dynasty as an example, if its masoy, earth is used to build a thickness of 1 meter, 5 meters high walls, circled the earth for over a week. If used for paving a 5 meters wide, 35 cm thick road, it could circle the earth three or four

weeks. If all dynasties built a total of 50 thousand kilometers calculation, then this wall can rotate around the earth several weeks, this road, around the earth in thirty or forty weeks.

“Because of the terrain, with risks for plug" is the construction of the Great Wall is an important experience, in the age of QinShihuang had it down, Sima Qian writes it to" historical records". Later each dynasty build the Great Wall are in accordance with the principle of. Who built Guan Cheng pass are the right and wrong choice between two mountains canyons, or river turning point. Or flat contacts pass through, so as to control is important, and may save the manpower and materials, to achieve “If one man guards the pass, ten thousand are unable to get through.

Some places

completely using the cliffs, rivers and lakes as a natural barrier, it can be called art beats nature. The

Great Wall, as a great project, become the Chinese nation is a valuable heritage.

长城修筑的历史悠久，工程雄伟浩大，是世界少有的奇迹。长城东西南北交错，绵延伏于我们伟大祖国辽阔的土地上。它好像一条巨龙，翻越巍巍群山，穿过茫茫草原，跨过浩瀚的沙漠，奔向苍茫的大海。根据历史文献记载，有20多个诸侯国家和封建王朝修筑过长城，若把各个时代修筑的长城加起来，大约有10万里以上。其中秦、汉、明3个朝代所修长城的长度都超过了1万里。现在我国新疆、 甘肃、 宁夏、 陕西、 内蒙古、 山西、河北、北京、 天津、 辽宁、 吉林、 黑龙江、 河南、山东、湖北、湖南等省、市、自治区都有古长城、峰火台的遗迹。其中仅内蒙古自治区的长城就达3万多里。

明朝在“外边”长城之外，还修筑了“内边”长城和“内三关”长城。“内关”长城以北齐所筑为基础，起自内蒙古与山西交界处的偏关以西，东行经雁门关、平型诸关入河北，然后折向东北，经来源、房山、昌平诸县，直达居庸关，然后又由北而东，至怀柔的四海关、与“外边”长城相接，以紫荆关为中心，大致成南北走向。“内三关”长城在很多地方和“内边”长城并行，有些地方两城相隔仅数十里。除此以外，还修筑了大量的“重城”。雁门关一带的“重城”就有24道之多！

长城是我国古代劳动人民创造的奇迹。自秦始皇开始，修筑长城一直是一项大工程。据记载，秦始皇使用了近百万劳动力修筑长城，占全国人口的1/20！当时没有任何机械，除运土、运砖可以用毛驴、山羊能爬山的牲畜外，全部劳动都得靠人力，而工作环境又是崇山峻岭、峭壁深壑。可以想见，没有大量的人群进行艰苦的劳动，是无法完成这项巨大工程的。

万里长城的工程量，据粗略估计，仅以明朝修筑为例，若将其砖石、土方用修筑一道厚1米、高5米的大墙，可环绕地球一周有余。如果用来铺筑一条宽5米、厚35厘米的马路，那就能绕地球三四周了。如果把所有朝代所修的总计10万里来计算，则这道长墙可绕地球十几周，这条马路，可绕地球三四十周。

“因地地形，用险制塞”是修筑长城的一条重要经验，在秦始皇的时候已经把它肯定下来，司马迁把它写入《史记》之中。以后每一个朝代修筑长城都是按照这一原则进行的。凡是修筑关城隘口都是非曲直选择在两山峡谷之间，或是河流转折之处。或是平川往来必经之地，这样既能控制险要，又可节约人力和材料，以达“一夫当关，万夫莫开”的效果。修筑城堡或烽火台也是选择在“四顾要之处”至于修筑城墙，更是充分地利用地地形，如像居庸关、八达岭的长城都有是沿着山岭的脊背修筑，有的地段从城墙外侧看去非常险峻，内侧则甚是平缓，收“易守难攻”之效。在辽宁境内，明代辽东镇的长城有一种

叫山险墙、劈山墙的，就是利用悬崖陡壁，稍微把崖壁劈削一下就成为长城 了。还有一些地方完全利用危崖绝壁、江河湖泊作为天然屏障，真可以说是巧夺天工了.长城，作为一顶伟大的工程，成为中华民族的一份宝贵遗产。
