震撼人心的英文演讲(精彩20篇)

Dear mother

I have been good at school. I often think of you when I go to bed because we always go for a walk before go to bed at home. So I miss you everyday. Do you miss me? Why don’t you call me? I’ve got a lot of things to tell you. One of the things is about foreign teacher’s daughter. Her name’s Skyler. She lives in Canada. She comes to our class to learn Chinese and English with me in my class. This afternoon when it was art and craft class our class were cleaning the gymnasium. And she did it with us too. So I usually talk to her when she doesn’t know what to do? But when the class is over I always haven’t got enough time to talk to her. And I usually can’t find her. So we don’t have time to introduce to each other. But it is the first time that I have a foreign student. So I’m very happy! Mum you often tell me “If you are happy I’ll be happy too.” So you have to be happy because I’m happy! I like you when you are happy! In the end I wish you everything is just fine!

YoursSophia.

Memories and ordinary things, things may be small, but the memories is so moved, because had these memories!Can continue to progress, the pursuit, in this way can we grow up,

That year, is a heavy snow season.At that time, I was only 7 years old!

That day, in the morning, I just wake up, opened the eyes, and saw there was a haze of light snow, a short time later, the wind settle, snow slowly stopped.And IThe elder brotherOpened the door and a white light made me feel dazzling, so I gave inThe elder brotherSnow shovel, pushing up the snowman in the yard, the snowman is really beautiful around, the body of white, round head, made it a pair of big, black pebbles of big eyes, a carrot nose, I again with red paint for white snow man drew a cherry small mouth.

Whatever a man’s status is (may be)， he must have an aim。 If not， he can

hardly stand on his own two feet in the world。 That stands to reason。However

important fame and wealth may be， we must not let them bee our object in life。

We should aim at doing something useful to the society。If my aim can e true， I

hope (wish) to be a teacher。 However， teaching is by no means an easy thing。 I

must apply myself closely to my studies so as to be able to cope with my duties

(as a teacher)。

Usually Saturday night is the time for students to get back to their desks

and do their weekend homework. Six school days are enough for the students who

have many other interests.

I think weekend homework should not be given. With homework arranged for

Saturday night and the whole of Sunday, when can he find time to help around the

house, play a game of football or see a good film, or just relax?

In fact weekend homework is usually put off until Sunday night. As a result

our homework is done very poorly and we achieve no results. If there were no

homework on weekends, students would go to school on Monday well rested, willing

to work. Teachers, dont you agree?

Dear, thank you for liking and using Mary Kays products. As a professional

beauty consultant, I will teach you how to use the products better.

1。 Mary Kays formula requires very high requirements. If a friend gives

you a set of Mary Kay, or a formula selected by her own feelings, the formula

may not be completely targeted at your skin, and it will not have any effect,

which wastes time, money and feelings. Be sure to consult a beauty consultant to

design the formula for you! Skin needs to change the season to adjust the

formula, so you need to contact the beauty consultant regularly to accept the

guidance of changing the formula!

2。 Mary Kays skin care products are maintenance type. The longer you use

it, you will start conditioning from the bottom of the skin. From the inside of

the skin, it will be tight, full of elasticity, more and more transparent, and

more and more healthy, so dont rush for success!

3。 Mary Kays tripeptide one molecule is the worlds first small molecule,

with strong absorption and penetration, which has surpassed the technology

content of Lancome and Estee Lauder and other first-line brands! After long-term

use, the skin will always be very tight! There is a tripeptide in the magic time

series!

4。 Mary Kay products are passed the food and drug testing standards Oh! So

if our friends around us are pregnant, we can still rest assured!

5。 Mask two times a week must be done, mask is to help us get through the

pores, better absorb products, you can put the mask on the side of the wash

basin, wash your face directly after painting! For eXample, it can be fiXed on

Wednesday night and Saturday night!

6。 Since the establishment of Mary Kay company for 50 years, it has become

the first brand in cosmetics industry.

7。 If your skin has ever used freckle cream or whitening and anti acne skin

care in a beauty salon, and your skin is thin and sensitive to red blood, the

bottom layer of your skin must contain impurities and toXins. At this time, Mary

Kay products will help us to metabolize impurities and toXins in the skin. If

the impurities are not metabolized clean, the skin with toXins can not be

absorbed, let alone absorbed Skin will get better!

My name is Pat and Im from Taiwan. Right now, Im a student. I study very hard every day. I like going to school because Im eager to learn. I enjoy learning English. Its my favorite class. I like to make friends and I get along with everyone. This is the introduction I give whenever I meet new people. It tells people a little bit about me and about what I like to do.

我的名字是派特，我来自台湾。我现在是学生。我每天都很用功念书。我喜欢上学，因为我渴望

学习。我喜欢学英文。那是我最喜欢的课程。我喜欢交朋友，而且我和每个人都处得很好。这就是我每次认识新的人时，所作的自我介绍。它可以告诉别人一点关于我的事，还有我喜欢做什么。

Good morning, everyone! My Name is Lu Xin. I am so happy to stand in front of you to introduce myself. I am thirteen years old. I graduated from the No.1 Primary School of our city. I like reading books and playing badminton. I hope we can take exercises after class. Besides, I like watching movies and listening to pop music. I am sure there are some classmates have the common interests with me. Therefore, we can communicate with each other. In primary school, I did well in Chinese but math is not so good. I hope I can make progress in middle school. I am very excited to be a classmate of you and I hope we can make progress and have good days together.

In the second eye, 20XX slipped like a naughty child, and a new 20XX came out of my head in front of me. Ha-ha！ The new year has arrived, and I also have a new plan.

In our house, Im a good snack. In the past year, I always cant control my mouth. I always find an excuse: I am in the critical period of long body growth. It doesnt matter if I eat more. Oh! No, my height is 1.55 meters long, and I can become stronger in the transverse direction. The weight has reached 90 Jin. I have not even participated in the sports meeting. The new year, I want to hold his own small mouth, not on any delicacy all comers, to ensure their own health conditions, more exercise, long stature, less horizontal development.

I think there is a bad habit of writing homework. Its too close to posture. Because my eyes cant bear it. I also become a "four eye family". The doctor told me that I still have a low degree now, it is false myopia, if it is correct posture, pay attention to eye use, or can remove glasses. Oh, good hope, I want to get rid of the bad habit of sitting in the new year, glasses, you wait, I will soon be with you to worship.

My family is about half an hours walk from the school. Before, my mother was not at ease, and I was afraid of wasting time. She was transported by battery car to me, which was neither electricity nor environmental protection. In the new year, Im going to school they go, because this section of the road to school early are familiar with the road, and also met with my classmates, not what to fear; and I do a lot of small cards at home, write English words, can walk in the back, time will not be waste. Mother saw my plan, which was both green and healthy, and nod agreed.

New years new year plan, new years new hope, refueling!

Free Admission to Parks

To encourage people to go outside and relax, a mounting number of parks offer free admission now. People benefit from it, especially during these tough economic times. With free entry, more people will have the opportunity for affordable vacations for families, taking pleasure in the natural landscape.

Fresh air and landscapes in parks are good for people. However, too many people

flocking into parks might not be so good for the parks.

For example, some visitors leave their garbage behind, which may cause environmental pollution. And people’s barbeques and stamping will also bring damage to the grassland and other greeneries in parks.

As a university student, I’m in favor of free admission to parks. Free entry to parks not only saves people’s expenditure, but also makes things fairer — people like the poor and students can go to parks frequently as well. On the other hand, visitors should be informed to preserve the environment while enjoying the beauty of the nature.

Christmas is annual festival in western world that is one of the most important festivals forthem. Previously, only westerners or Christians celebrate it. But in recent years,more and more Chinese people celebrate it, especially among young people. Thereare many activities in that day. I think there are the following reasons thatmake Christmas popular in China. First, it’s a western holiday and it’s new toChinese. Second, with the development of the world, the mutual influence betweenChina and the west makes it work. Last, the merchants make great contributionto its popularity.

The spring Festival  coming soon! The festivel  considereded the most important one for Chinese people. It  on the first day of lunar year. It  also the day of reunion among family members. During these days, people would say "happy new year! or wh you make fortune! to each other. They would also vit their relatives and friends. Children would be given "red packets". Children would have more to eat and play than usual.Playing firecrackers  also a popular game for children.

老师们，同学们，大家好，我们是来自初一九班的张影和李雨亭，今天我演讲的题目是“冬季长跑好处多”。

俗话说“冬训吃一年”，这是体育业内人非常重视的训练阶段。在民间利用寒冷的冬天进行长跑活动更是人们喜闻乐见的体育项目。为了让同学们更多的掌握长跑的知识，更好的参加长跑运动，我们在此向同学们介绍冬季长跑的有关知识。

通过长跑可以调节神经中枢的兴奋与抑制合理的交替转换，避免神经思维中枢紧张过度，消除大脑的疲劳，提高学习效益，提高记忆力；在低温下长跑可以刺激、激活肌体的保护性反应，调节大脑体温中枢的功能；长跑还可以促进血液循环，加速脑部的血量，供给大脑更多的氧和营养物质，使大脑清醒，思维能力敏捷，神经系统功能的改善，可以提高和完善对各器官、系统的控制和调节能力。

长跑运动可以增强心脏肌肉收缩的力量，提高血液中红血球携带氧的能力，可以使血管粗壮有弹性，可以激活淋巴细胞提高人体的免疫功能。在长跑运动时由于需求氧的量成倍增多，呼吸次数及深度也随之增加，经常进行长跑就能有效的提高呼吸肌力量，加大肺泡的通气量，从而提高了肺活量。

人体的运动系统是由骨骼、关节、肌肉组成，经常参加长跑运动，提高关节的灵活性；有效的提高肌肉的力量和耐力。

冬季长跑可以重新塑造完美体形、体态长跑属于有氧代谢运动，在运动中需要大量的氧和营养物质来供给人体运动的需要，在运动中多余的脂肪被消耗掉就能使得原本臃肿肥胖的体形得到改善，达到重新塑造体形的效果。

在冬季长跑中由于受到季节温度和环境的影响会遇到很多的困难，如天气寒冷，空气干燥都是对人在跑步时形成的自然困难因素，在这样的环境中锻炼一方面在锻炼体质，另一方面也是对人的意志品质的锻炼。

冬季长跑是一项锻炼身体的好运动，我们只有采用科学的方法进行锻炼，才能得到良好的锻炼效果。希望广大同学积极行动起来，投身到冬季长跑活动中来。

我的演讲到此结束，谢谢大家！

Today, my parents took me to mygrandfathers home. I talked with my

grandfather for a little while and then Iplayed with my brothers and sisters.

After a while, my elderly brothersuggested going to the park and having a rest.

"Thats a good idea." I said.Then we prepared for the outing. However, after

lunch, the sky turned dark andrained heavily. Therefore, our plan was an

impossible due to the bad weather.How pity it was! All the afternoon, we could

only have fun in house. We playedcards, watched TV and played computer games. We

were happy, but we still hopedthat we can go out next time.

Mariner magnificent life adrift in the sea, the vast expanse of the universe, the endless sky. Flying it! Colorful flying in the sky, let sights perfusion your head, let Mother Nature to make your mind blowing, so boring life can no longer imprison your soul.

An old saying: "read better than ten thousand books." Travel is more than two feet bookcase to wisdom; travel orders the soul to reach sublimation. It was a trip, no matter how many years of experience, makes me nostalgic. Various recall before graduation, that smile look forward to the completion of the trip, but also Shenluo in my mind, finally finally wait until the completion of brigade, sunny morning, like the sun for our farewell. After hearing the principal, teachers lecture, everyone is excited, chattering side edge of the car to talk.

Car, some people listen to music, some people in the chat joking, some people play slapstick, others kept pressing the shutter to capture a wide range of memories, some even too excited, has been absurd, prompting the whole car burst into laughter. After half an hours drive, we arrived at the first stop ── Youth Activity Center. Satiation local folk cuisine, we were lively mountain training, it turns away an hour before the event. Wow! Each facility is very exciting and interesting, it looked shocking, white hair have been scared, but there are several volunteers after the first experience, we gradually willing to go, but in the end the girls are crazy play. Among them, I most like to play the "single cable suspension bridge", it was a man on a three-story ropes, sliding down the facility, is really more play the more addictive.

The next day we spent in the Miao, first ranch experience farm style. Bought a lot of local gifts, enjoy rustic cuisine, we try to do some dairy products, such as: butter, chicken cakes. Among them, the chicken pie time-consuming and bother. But when I tasted it loosely soft palate, the entrance of the home-made cakes, wonderful taste echoed in my mouth, like ocean waves hitting my throat. Next stop ── West Lake Resortopia, quiet forests, green scenery, blue sky, dotted with bright stars, located in the beautiful scenery of the cabins, seems to be especially gorgeous, very fascinating. The end of the three-day event, those views, I forget, flows in my heart throbbing, deep wash my heart.

This journey, I realized that invisible but profound impact on my thoughts of "friendship." Friendship graceful and moving, bright flames, like much, but indispensable. It is clean, satisfactory moving mind, ignited the hearts of people, listening to compose a song.

Beautiful homeland A into my village, saw the ground covered with grass, is so tender and beautiful. Scan, like a green brocade. A breeze, grass, like we nodded approvingly at to welcome us. Modest willow with it that slightness green girls arm, and gently pat on the bank. In front of our house is a beautiful garden, the garden of lush trees and beautiful scenery, grass overgrown with all sorts of flowers and plants, like a big flower-bed, full of pigment beside a pool, pool of colorful fish swim to swim, clever! Our house is behind the building, neat flickering among the people, and street, car, a blast. Our home is beautiful! We love our home!

Hometown in autumn The autumn is the hometown of neither too hot nor too cold, although the air is fresh, leaves no previous also started withered, but one thing more and more mature, it is rice. Out of the door, scan, the first saw is rice, so much rice large full yes. Rice in imperceptible in gradually grow mature. The autumn is the hometown of golden, basically everything is yellow. The autumn, the hometown of rice mature into yellow. Hometown of autumn, withered grass became yellow. Hometown of autumn, the leaves on the trees grew up, r. will wither soon. In the field, and small roadside, entailed, no matter what the green plant basically are withered. Especially the grass, it is waiting for the coming of spring, again to add a green world. Home is a season of harvest in autumn, peach on the big peaches and pears on the big pear, JuShu within large orange on the rice field, and mature etc can eat lots of fruits are ripe. The wind was so soft, the water is so fluent, the sky is so blue, people are so active. The autumn is the hometown, and spring. The autumn of home town than in winter to much warmer than the autumn, the home more to cool in summer. Ah, the hometown of autumn, you how soft!

The day before Christmas, the doll pudding and the little red hat made an appointment to buy Christmas presents.

When crossing the road, little red hat saw a white beard old grandfather crossing the road on crutches. The cars on the road came and came, very dangerous. The little red cap saw it and said to Boudin, "lets help Grandpa cross the road?" Boudin said, "no, you can see the bus is coming."

"Its all right. We can sit down, and the teacher says that its a good child to help people." Little red cap said.

Little red hat and pudding helped the old grandfather walk through the street step by step. The old man said, "good boy, thank you." Its gone. Then they heard someone say, "the gift, then." They looked up, Santa Claus, and went home with the gift of pleasure.

Dear Santa Claus,

Hello! Im Yoyo. Do you remember? You have on Christmas Eve, give me a lot

of crayons, colored paper, pencil case. As a thank-you, I put cookies in my

Christmas stocking. Thank you for so many years of hard work, so that every one

of our children can receive gifts. I was very happy when I received your gift

last year. I went to my school to tell my classmates that I received your gift.

But It never occurred to me that my classmates would not believe it. But Im not

paying attention to them! Because mama said, "As long as you have something

beautiful to look forward to, something beautiful will always be around you."

For our children, you are the most amiable and respectable person in the world,

you gave us each of the children most hope of the gift.

I have a wish to let the construction engineers build the house up the

chimney in the future, so that your work will be more convenient and

labor-saving. If you are too busy next Christmas Eve, you can take me with you

and help you send gifts together. I want to thank you face to face for your care

in these years.

Finally, I also want to say to you: Dear Santa Claus, this Years Christmas

know what they are thinking, also know what they need, in this beautiful

Christmas Eve, I also want to give them a gift!

I like your youyou

It was a fine day today and the sun was bright. I visited Beijing Zoo with

my classmate, He Song. The animals were so interesting that all the people loved

them. When a bear asked for some food by waving its ann, a visitor threw

something to it. At once I went up to him and said without thinking,Dont do

that. Its bad for it. If you really love them, take good care of them. His

face turned red and answered he wouldnt do that again.
