关于人品德行的演讲稿【汇集20篇】

English is a useful language all over the world. Why are we began to learn English when we were little children? Beacause it is very important for us to learn it.In the world, if you cannot speak English you will lose half a chance to success.

I began to learn English when I was 8 years old.At that moment,I do not like English.I connot remember all the words which I have learnt.I think it is very difficult for me to learn it well.So I cannot read English loudly and I never answer the questions in the English classes.

Even if my English is very bad, my teacher stll encourages me to learn English hard and he gives me some ways to learn English. He tells me to read passages loudly and listen to the English tapes everyday morning.In order to progress my writing he also asks me to write some articles at times. I like listen to the English songs,he suggests me to sing the English songs.As a result of his ways my English becomes well.

Now, I like English very well and I still use the ways he tells me.I know I must learn English even hard.

亲爱的老师敬爱的同学们

大家好

书，是一束阳光，可以照亮黑暗，使人走出逆境；书，是知识的海洋，只等你去驶向它，尽享大海的欢乐；书，是一把钥匙，可以打开知识的宝库，让你迈进了拥有无限乐趣的知识王国！

我仿佛是一束阳光，存在黑暗的深渊里，但我相信至少书可以陪伴我，带我走出这片黑暗。人的一生经历了无数次失败，以前我不会去想它，但终究还是要面对现实。当我还在阴影里的时候，是书告诉我“失败是成功之母。”于是我克服了困难。

我仿佛是一滴水，被滴到了大海里，但我知道海是由千千万万滴水组成的。当我还不懂团结时，当我还在和同学闹矛盾时，是书提醒我团结的力量有多大“一根筷子容易折，一把筷子难折断。”于是我融入了这个大家庭。

我仿佛是那零零碎碎的知识，千千万万个我构成了知识的宝库。在这座宝库里，有你想要的智慧，只看你有没有发现的眼睛。在阅读中不断的去寻找，不断地去增加知识“学海无涯书相伴。”只要努力，你就会是下一座宝库。

雨果说过“书籍是造就灵魂的工具。”与书为舞，我坚信只要有光就有光明；与书为侣，我感叹一滴水就是下一片海；与书为伴，我相信再微妙的知识也会成为宝库！

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!

尊敬的老师，亲爱的同学们：

早上好！

明天是918纪念日，八十一年前，中国开始了14年的抗日战争，当年，无数一中学子投入其中，为中华民族的英勇斗争和伟大复兴，做出了自己的卓越贡献。今天，中日之间钓鱼岛争端再起，作为讲责任、勇担当的一中人，有必要对此有一个客观理性的认识。

钓鱼岛及其附属岛屿位于东海海域，台湾省的东北，是我国最东端的岛屿。它由钓鱼岛、黄尾屿、赤尾屿等八小岛组成，总面积约6平方公里多，其中钓鱼岛约4平方公里多。台湾称其为钓鱼台列屿，日本称其为尖阁诸岛。

首先，我们要明白：钓鱼岛及其附属岛屿，自古以来就是中国的。

最早清楚写明钓鱼岛的史册，是1403年中国明朝出版的《顺风相送》一书（该书现存于英国牛津大学）；明清时期，琉球国（即今天的日本冲绳）是中国的属国，中国多次派出使者出使该国，在他们的各种着述中，很多次提到：经过钓鱼岛之后，才进入琉球地界。这表明钓鱼岛不属于琉球国，也就不属于今天的日本。同时，明朝官方的《筹海图编》等许多地图也一再标注了这些岛屿的位置与名称，这反映出钓鱼岛在明代就属于中国的海防区域。诸多史实清楚地说明，明清两朝政府视钓鱼岛为中国领土。即使许多日本着名人物，如历史学者井上清教授等也持相同态度。

同时，从地质来讲，钓鱼岛也是中国的领土，它是台湾山脉延伸海底的凸出部分，其所在的大面积大陆礁层，累积了长江、黄河等大河冲下的沉积物。中国的渔民，也自古以来将其作为渔场。

其次，我们要了解：在近现代历史的演变中，钓鱼岛争端渐起。

1879年，琉球国被日本所吞并，成为其冲绳县。此后，附近的钓鱼岛成为日本的侵夺目标，1884年，有日本人古贺辰四郎登陆该岛从事生产。1895年，甲午战争中的日本内阁决定将钓鱼岛并入冲绳县。第二年，日本政府将钓鱼岛“租借”给古贺家族，建设码头、加工厂等。1932年，又将其非法卖给古贺家族，成为其所谓“私产”。岛上曾有90多户日本人家从事劳动生产。1941年底，太平洋战争爆发，岛上居民撤出，钓鱼岛再次成为无人岛。

在反法西斯战争中，1943年，中美英签署《开罗宣言》，明确规定，“要使日本所窃取于中国之领土，例如满洲、台湾、澎湖列岛等，归还中国。日本亦将被逐出于其以武力或贪欲所攫取之所有土地”。（也就是说日本不仅要归还中国所有领土，而且还应放弃它所侵占的其它所有领土。）1945年，中美英三国敦促日本投降的《波茨坦公告》强调，“开罗宣言之条件必将实施，而日本之主权必将限于本州、北海道、九州、四国，及吾人所决定其他小岛之内”。（也就是说日本其它小岛的主权由中美英等国决定。）9月2日，日本政府签署《日本投降书》，宣示“承担忠诚履行《波茨坦公告》各项规定之义务”。这就意味日本放弃了其所攫取的所有中国领土，中方认为，这当然包括作为台湾所属岛屿的钓鱼岛。而1951年日美等国签定《旧金山和约》，授权美国托管琉球群岛及钓鱼岛及其附属岛屿。中国政府没有签署，拒绝承认该条约。

60年代末，联合国远东经济委员会在海洋考察中，提出钓鱼岛附近可能蕴含着极为丰富的石油资源。进入70年代，港台地区和留美学生在各处掀起保钓运动。1971年，《开罗宣言》签字国之一美国将冲绳和钓鱼岛移交日本，海峡两岸政府随即提出抗议，申明钓鱼岛列岛是自己的固有领土。（美国后来表示：在钓鱼岛的最终主权问题上采取中立态度。）这一时期，日本的古贺家族又将几座岛屿先后“转卖给”栗原家族。1978年，大陆两百多艘渔船到有关海域宣示主权。这一年，中日双方签署《中日友好和平条约》，共同承诺“发展两国间持久的和平友好关系……在相互关系中，用和平手段解决一切争端，而不诉诸武力和武力威胁”。1979年5月，邓小平在接见日本议员时表示，可考虑在不涉及领土主权情况下，共同开发钓鱼岛附近资源。80年代，对于海洋争端问题，中国逐步形成“主权在我，搁置争议，共同开发”的思想。

1992年，中国颁布《中华人民共和国领海及毗连区法》，以立法形式重申钓鱼岛为中国领土。1996年，香港保钓人士陈毓祥登岛不幸遇难，台湾千艘渔船驶往钓鱼岛及其附属岛屿宣示主权。进入21世纪，大陆保钓人士继港台爱国人士多次登岛之后，也成功登岛。

今年以来，中国政府为扞卫钓鱼岛主权，积极采取了一系列措施。3月，中国公布了钓鱼岛及其部分附属岛屿的标准名称；4月，东京都知事石原慎太郎发起捐款购买钓鱼岛运动；7月，日本政府决定由国家出面购买钓鱼岛；9月10日，中国政府发表声明，公布了钓鱼岛及其附属岛屿的领海基线；9月11日，日本从栗原家购买钓鱼岛，企图实现所谓“国有化”。

总而言之，对于钓鱼岛争端，中方认为：钓鱼岛自古以来就是中国领土，日本暗自霸占，二战战败后根据国际法应该予以归还；日方则认为：日本实现了首先占领和长期有效控制，中国从未有对钓鱼岛的实际控制，也长期未提出异议，钓鱼岛并非是日本承诺放弃的领土。

以上这些就是关于钓鱼岛争端的部分来龙去脉。作为“关注世界形势，关注社会变革，关注生存环境，关注突发事件”的一中人，有着深深的爱国情怀与责任担当意识，我们要坚定地扞卫国家主权，维护民族的利益。同时也要理性地采取行动。

今天，当我们漫步于长沙闹市区，中山路、黄兴路、蔡锷路等路名会浮现于我们眼前；当我们攀登岳麓山，黄兴、蔡锷、陈天华、焦达峰、刘道一……一座座烈士墓为我们所瞻仰。这些先烈们，当年在甲午战争、日俄战争后，面对日本欺凌下的耻辱，将满腔的愤怒转化为四处求学的动力，他们发愤读书，牺牲奉献，谋求民族的觉醒、自立与自强，为民国时代赢得抗日胜利打下坚实基础！

回顾抗日战争的烽火年代，多少一中人投笔从戎，挽救民族危亡，同时也有多少一中人在颠沛流离中坚持发愤读书，为胜利后的国家建设积极做准备。如总理朱镕基、省委书记熊清泉、法学家郭道晖、还有谭靖夷、唐稚松等多位院士……正是他们的这种坚持与接力，使那些为民族洒热血的学长和同学实现了更高的价值！彼此的付出，都因而变得更有意义！

希望广大同学以我们的先辈为榜样，以我们的学长为榜样，越是紧要关头，越要为国家的富强、民主、文明、和谐，人民的幸福、安康、自由、进步而好好读书，不断进取塑造自己；越是大是大非面前，越要站在国家民族长远利益上，在思想和行动方面与中央保持高度一致，团结起来建设国家。赢得国家尊严的，不是大家对他者的仇恨，而是每个人的自信自尊；推动国家强大的，不是大家的愤怒，而是每个人的强大。这种强大，是这样组成的：务实诚恳的工作学习态度、追赶世界先进水平的进取信念、理性文明守法的公民意识、薪火相传的文化使命感……

从1931年九一八事变到1945年9月2日日本签署投降书，中华民族经历了一场世界上最长的反法西斯战争，我们用自己的空前团结与坚韧，改变了民族的命运。今天，早已告别战争，进入到和平建设时期，我们更应该空前团结，用更好的学习，更高的素养为书写民族的兴旺，尽一名学子的责任。

请深深记住我们的校训：“公、勇”二字，是用非常坚实的“勤、朴”二字作支撑的。让我们在一中的校园里扎扎实实地认真读书，学会全面、客观、理性、深刻地思考，为“天下有大事，要有一中人；天下有大事，必有一中人”的社会担当，打下最坚实的基础吧！

我今天的讲话到此结束，谢谢各位老师和同学们。

Later，you may go over these memories and enjoy your past experiences， thus keeping a fresh and sunny mind.

整理

The field is his study， nature was his book. Travelers can choose different modes of transportation which have advantages and disadvantages. Airplanes are the fastest but also the most expensive. Buses and trains are less expensive， but they soon make you feel cramped and uncomfortable. Ships provide you with comfort unless you get seasick. Most people can afford traveling by bicycle， which although slow，can limber up your muscles and get you closer to nature.

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！

作文

There is a saying that “You can either travel or read, but either your body or soul must be on the way.” With the improvement of living standards, more and more people have time and money to travel. During traveling, one can meet various people, make new friends and experience various lifestyles of different places.

有句俗话说：“你可以去旅行或者阅读，但是你的身体和灵魂必须在路上。”随着生活水平的提高，越来越多的人们时间和金钱去旅游。在旅游期间，可以见到形形色色的人，交新朋友，在不同地方体验不同的生活方式。

Regarding tour, most of people have great interests in it. It is a human nature that people who come from the dame nature just fall in love into the same.

对于旅游，许多人都怀有浓厚的兴趣。人从自然中来，崇尚自然，乃人类之天性。

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。

Advantages of Travel By traveling we can enjoy the beautiful scenery in different places. We will see with our own eyes many places read of in books, and visit some famous cities and scenic spots. We will meet people with different interests and see strange and different things when we travel. We can get ideas of the conditions and customs of other people, taste different foods and special local flavour if we like. In this way, we can understand how differently other people live.

Travel will not only help us to gain knowledge of geography and history and other knowledge, which will arouse our deep love for our motherland, but also will help us keep healthy and make us less narrow-minded. Travel does benefit us both mentally and physically. With all these advantages of travel, it is no wonder that travel has now become more popular .

First of all, travel can widen our knowledge of geography, the knowledge of customs, cultures and lifestyles of different places and countries. Secondly, we can make friends and practice a foreign language through travelling. Finally, travel is the best way of pastime. We can enjoy eating various foods and seeing beautiful sceneries.

尊敬的老师，亲爱的同学们：

大家好!

今天我演讲的题目是《爱国》。同学们，我们同为华夏儿女，同为炎黄子孙，我想问大家一个问题：何为爱国?

爱国是屈大夫披发行吟“宁溢死以流亡兮，余不忍为此态也”，爱国是诗人陆游“王师北定中原日，家祭无忘告乃翁‘，爱国是秋瑾’一腔热血勤珍重，洒去犹能化碧涛”，爱国是谭嗣同‘我自横刀向天笑，去留肝胆两昆仑’的豪迈气概……

爱国，不是光喊口号。在你注目凝望五星红旗冉冉升起时，在你为赛场上的中国健儿勇夺冠军而欢呼雀跃时，在你面对钓鱼岛事件热血沸腾时，你已经点燃了心中永不熄灭的爱国的火炬。

同学们，我们是小草，祖国是生我们、养我们的土地;我们是水珠，祖国就是孕育我们的大海;我们是小鸟，祖国就是让我们安家的大树;我们是沙土，祖国就是宽阔的大路……我们与伟大的祖国相互依存，热爱祖国，就是热爱自己的生命。

让我们铭记无产阶级革命家列宁的话“爱国主义就是千百年来巩固起来的对自己祖国的一种最深厚的感情。”我们要努力起来，贡献最大力量来建设祖国。因为，我们都有一个家，名字叫中国!

同学们，让我们行动起来，一起把祖国的未来建设得更加美好!

敬爱的老师，亲爱的同学们：

大家好！今天我演讲的题目是祖国在我心中。

我们的祖国，有着广阔的土地，勤劳的人民，丰富的物产，更有着五千年的文化传统：扣人心弦的历史名着、刚劲端庄的方块字、如歌如画的唐诗宋词……五千年文化滋养着我们。冰山上的雪莲教会了我们纯洁美丽；海风中的乳燕教会了我们勇敢乐观；蓝天下的雏鹰教会了我们抱负远大；黄河边的山丹丹教会了我们热烈顽强。

祖国不仅有着五千年的文化传统，还有着壮丽的大好河山。万里长城像一条巨龙，盘在崇山峻岭之间；滔滔黄河水一浪接着一浪，拍打着岸边的岩石；昆仑山像一把利剑，巍峨壮观，高耸入云；而桂林山水则像一幅美丽的风景画，让人流连忘返……可谁又能想到，这个拥有着锦绣河山的美丽国家，却有着一段令人不堪回首的往事呢？

1860年，八国联军入侵了圆明园。他们能拿的就拿，不能拿的就砸。圆明园被洗劫一空后，他们还放了一把火烧了圆明园，大火烧了三天三夜。这座被誉“中华文化瑰宝”的园林就在大火中毁于一旦。1931年9月18日，次日攻占了沈阳。仅四个月内，整个东北就已沦陷，3000万人民变成了奴隶。1937年的南京城内，将近40万人民在日军奸诈的笑声中，冰冷的屠刀下惨遭杀害……

就在祖国母亲遭到侵略者铁蹄践踏的时候，中华儿女站起来了！邓世昌、黄继光、董存瑞、杨靖宇等先烈抛头颅，洒热血，与侵略者进行了激烈的斗争。终于，先烈们的热血没有白洒，侵略者被战士们打败了。

祖国的屈辱历史已经成为过去，现在的中国人民创造了新的辉煌：当2008年的奥运会在北京开展时，我自豪；当中国科技更上一层楼的时候，我自豪；当中国宇航员第一次登上月球时，我自豪；当奥运会上中国夺得一枚枚奖牌时，我自豪。我自豪，我为我是一个中国人而感到骄傲！

今天，历史和未来将由我们焊接，时代的接力棒要靠我们相传。让我们从身边做起，从小事做起，节约每一滴水，节约每一张纸，节约每一度电，为祖国贡献出自己的一份力量！

我的演讲完毕，谢谢大家！

大家好，今天我想给大家演讲的题目——《生命不息 为理想奋斗为青春喝彩》。

大学四年是青春这段时光里最“黄金”的时间段，但如今有部分大学生，还是“早上八九点钟太阳”的年纪，却只知逃课打游戏、约会逛街，整天颓废的度过。

也许有人要问为什么要有梦想?我没有梦想照样活得好好的。苏格拉底回答了，因为“世界上最快乐的事，莫过于为理想而奋斗。”托尔斯泰也说：“理想是指路明灯。没有理想就没有坚定的方向，没有方向，就没有生活。”可见人类因梦想而永生，失去梦想，生与死无异。

我们为什么要拥有梦想，因为没有梦想的人往往沉溺在自己的幻想中，不可自拔。古龙曾说：“梦想绝不是梦。两者之间的差别通常有一段非常值得人们深思的距离。”要问那些“家里蹲”的学子为什么没了梦想，那是因为他在幻想、在做梦，他没有发现梦想和梦有着天壤之别。

当然，空有梦想若无实际行动，梦想就是空想、幻想，就是白日梦!在大学里，有很多坚持自己的目标并为之奋斗的人，当然也有不止一次的说要干什么干什么，时间一长，便没了耐心与坚持而抛之脑后的同学。就像很多考研的学生，跟着很多人一起加入了考研大军，但是真正坚持并一条路心无旁骛地走完的没有几个。其实，不管实现梦想的路再长，心之所愿，无事不成。放弃的人也只有两个理由可诉：要么没坚持，要么坚持的不够。那些能一条道走到底的人，不管结果如何，至少不愧对自己。

在演讲的最后我想总结一下我的观念：有梦并为之执着奋斗的人永远没有老，他永远正青春，让我们为这样的青春喝彩!

Internet Change Collage life

When it comes to internet age, many thing goanna be changed, such as the ways to knowing news, the way to community, the way to shopping and so on, at the same time, it also changed every aspect of students’ college life.

Now, our college students have many ways to study except listen the teacher said, we can scan the knowledge on web, we can download the electronic edition of the textbook, if necessary, we even can listen other college’s teacher’s class on the internet. All of these depend on the development of internet; it makes our study in college more efficient, more interesting, and quick.

The internet brought us so many benefits, does it mans it haven’t any disadvantageExactly not, it is so obvious that so many college students have damage for it. There is a example, a seiner high school student was eolled by Tsinghua University in a high scores but after 1year he was dropped out by the university, whyThe reason is sample, after he stepped into college he began high on or suspected to addicted to web game, he started to be truant, violate the college rules, finally, he failed many courses, and the university didn’t forgive him anymore. There are lots of other stories like this one, because of internet, college students had to give up their college life. What makes these unhappy things happenedIn my opinion, the main reason is that under the Chinese education system, every student is strictly surprised by their parent’s, the teachers and school before college entrance examination, they have little freedom. After they go to the college, the parents left them alone, the teachers started to give them enough belief, so they can do everything they want include surfing the internet without control

Even so we still .shouldn’t give up our right study life, we shouldn’t forget the reason we spend extra 4 years in college: we need more useful knowledge, so that we can have a good job, a good future.

Internet is a rapier, it can help you gain more ,it also can make you lose more, it leys on what will you choose.

亲爱的老师、同学们：

大家好!

5月1日是国际劳动节，这是全世界劳动人民自己的节日。今天，我们站在鲜艳的五星红旗下，应该怎样纪念和庆祝这一伟大光辉的节日呢?

1886年的5月1日，美国的资产阶级政府出动大批军队和警察，残酷地镇压了芝加哥工人因要求改善劳动条件而进行的集会斗争。这说明，工人阶级不要说争取主人的地位，就是要求改善基本的生活条件也会遭受到血腥的镇压。把五月一日定为国际劳动节，就是旨在动员并团结全世界无产阶级及劳动人民，为争取自身的自由、解放，为最终实现当家作主的权利而不懈斗争。

我国的无产阶级和广大劳动人民经过艰苦卓绝的斗争，使当家作主的梦想变成了现实，人民成了国家和社会的主人，享有广泛的民主权利，以主人翁的精神投入到建设社会主义的伟大事业中去。我们的社会主义祖国正呈现出蓬勃生机，焕发出旺盛活动力，以昂扬的姿态阔步迈向新时代。

我们——作为新时代的建设者和接班人，将责无旁贷地挑起建设社会主义现代化强国的重担，以主人翁的态度投入到建设祖国的伟大事业中去。作为一名小学生，从小就应该树立主人翁的意识，关心国家大事，热爱自己的家园，树立远大的志向，把自己的前途同祖国的命运结合起来，使自己成为一个有理想有志气有抱负有高尚品质的人。

我们要培养劳动感情，养成劳动习惯，珍惜劳动成果，积极参加社会实践活动。当然，最重要的还是要努力学习科学文化知识，扎实掌握一技之长，为将来把我国建设繁荣富强打下良好的基础!这才是对“五·一”国际劳动节最好的的纪念。

谢谢大家!

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day every vally shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

Wow, what a dream it has been for Martin Luther King. But the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up, and sometimes I personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.

However, we meed dreams. They nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. They keep us going. Most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great. When we were little kids, we all dreamed of doing something big and splashy, something significant. Now what we need to do is to maintain them, refresh them and turn them into reality. However, the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how to translate these dreams into actions. Well, just start with concrete objectives and stick to it. Don’t let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong belief of future. Through our talents, through our wits, through our endurance and through our creativity, we will make it.

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today.

老师、同学们：

大家早上好!

农历五月初五，中国的传统节日——端午节。人们会通过赛龙舟、包粽子、喝雄黄酒等形式来来纪念一颗不朽的灵魂——屈原。

据《史记》“屈原贾生列传”记载，屈原，是春秋时期楚怀王的大臣。他倡导举贤授能，富国强兵，力主联齐抗秦，遭到贵族子兰等人的强烈反对，屈原遭馋去职，被赶出都城，流放到沅、湘流域。在流放中，他写下了忧国忧民的《离骚》、《天问》、《九歌》等不朽诗篇，独具风貌，影响深远。公元前278年，秦军攻破楚国京都。屈原眼看自己的祖国被侵略，心如刀割，但是始终不忍舍弃自己的祖国，于五月五日，在写下了绝笔作《怀沙》之后，抱石投汨罗江身死，以自己的生命谱写了一曲壮丽的爱国主义乐章。

屈原死后，楚国百姓非常哀痛，纷纷涌到汨罗江边去凭吊屈原。渔夫们划起船只，在江上来回打捞他的身体。有的渔夫拿出饭团、鸡蛋等食物丢进江里，希望鱼龙虾蟹吃饱了，不会去咬屈大夫的身体了。有的拿来一坛雄黄酒倒进江里，希望晕倒蛟龙水兽，以免伤害屈大夫。后来怕饭团为蛟龙所食，人们想出用楝树叶包饭，外缠彩丝，发展成为棕子。

郭沫若评价屈原为“伟大的爱国诗人”。他开浪漫主义诗歌之先河，创立了“与天地兮同寿，与日月兮同光”的楚辞文体;发明了“惟草木之落兮，恐美人之迟暮”的香草美人传统。他奔流肆意的想象，源源不绝的才情，似河流汇聚成海一般，浩瀚无垠。我国文史上最长的抒情诗——《离骚》，就是他集毕生心血所成的作品。

屈原离世已有2300年了，今天我们来纪念他，主要是学习他爱祖国爱人民、坚持真理、宁死不屈的精神和他“可与日月争辉”的人格。屈原作为一个改革家，他的政治理念，他的改革期望，都因当时客观残酷的社会条件而失败了。但作为一个伟大的爱国者、思想家和文学家，他却成功了。“举世皆浊我独清，举世皆醉我独醒”是他的气节，“路漫漫其修远兮，吾将上下而求索”是他的伟岸。他如菊的淡雅，如莲的圣洁，强大的精神力量，为后人颂扬，激励感染了无数中华儿女前行的脚步!

屈原的伟大，不仅是他刻骨铭心的诗句，更是他矢志不移的爱国精神，不与奸佞小人同流合污的高风亮节。五千年中华文明史少不了屈原，灿烂的中国文学史少不了屈原。

屈原的精神是不朽的。不管时光如何变迁，他永远上生活在岁月的长河里，永远铭记在人们的心中!

老师们，同学们，大家好，今天我演讲的题目是《我们是祖国的期待》。

站在国旗下，举目仰望那高高飘扬的红旗，眼前顿时展现出一幅雄鸡傲立的画面——我们伟大祖国的版图。心中不禁感想万千，每当这个时刻，我们都沉浸在雄壮的国歌声中，庄重而严肃的向祖国，向国旗默默许下自己的志愿。 新一代的我们身上担着千斤重担，祖国的经济尚不发达，人口众多，人均国民生产总值还比较低，不能与发达国家相比美。但我们的祖国物资丰富，地大物博，有巨大的潜力，而且祖国拥有我们这些要开辟新时代走向未来的接班人，所以我们可以大声对世界说：“我们的祖国无比富有，我们就是祖国最宝贵的财富。”

众所周知，世界杯已经持续五天了，中国队虽然没有进入世界杯，但我们并没有就因此而放弃足球队事业的热爱，因为我们执著，我们对中国足球有信心，球迷永远都不会对足球健将们说放弃!因为祖国还拥有我们，我们有理想、有抱负、有能力。我们正值青春年华，充满智慧和力量，我们深信：今日的梦想，必然成为明日的现实，终有一天，中国足球将会“大鹏一日同风起，扶摇直上几万里。”中国足球将冲出亚洲，令全世界刮目相看。 不仅足球如此，祖国的建设也需要我们的努力，我们期待着中国以展新的巨人形象屹立于世界东方，这是中华民族千百年来的夙愿，也是我们为之奋斗的理想，要实现这美好的理想，知识技术是纽带桥梁。

因此，我们应当以学习知识为首要任务，不虚度青春，努力拼搏实现人生的价值。 期末考试即将来临，同学们养足精力，充实头脑，让我们在期末考试中进个“漂亮的球”，让所有的人都为我们欢呼，让我们以优异的成绩走出高一，走向高二更高的阶梯!

总有一缕飘逸的清香，无时无刻不洋溢在我的生活中，是它，让我学会了感受，是它，教我学会了聆听，是它，让我读懂了生命，它，就是那缕幽幽飘逸于我心中的书香。

漫步诗海，感受四季之美，走进自然，我会和白居易一起感受“乱花渐欲迷人眼，浅草才能没马蹄”的春之活力，和杨万里一起玩赏“接天莲叶无情碧，映日荷花别样红”的夏之绚烂，和刘禹锡一起品味“晴空一鹤排云上，便引诗情到碧霄”的秋之昂扬，和岑参一起饱览“忽如一夜春风来，千树万树梨花开”的冬之壮美……书，如同一幅幅风景画，向我们展示了大自然的无穷魅力，使我们赏心悦目。

漫步书海，享受书中之情，可以领略李白“天生我材必有用，千金散去还复来”的豪迈气概，去体会那“但愿人长久，千里共婵娟”的美好祝愿，去感受那“鹰击长空，鱼翔浅底”的凌云气概，去揣摩“帘卷西风，人比黄花瘦”的那抹心伤哀愁……书，就如同一杯醇香甘甜的美酒，令人荡气回肠，情意绵绵。

漫步书海，照亮心房，为范仲淹“先天下之忧而忧，后天下之乐而乐”心系国家的远大抱负而折服，为苏东坡“老夫聊发少年狂，左牵黄，右擎苍，锦帽貂裘，千骑卷平岗”的豪放张扬的慨叹，读“出师未捷生先死，长使英雄泪满襟”，我仿佛看到诸葛亮六出祁山，为蜀汉鞠躬尽瘁，死而后已的一生……书如一团跳跃的火焰，照亮我的心灵。

书，如一泓清泉，荡涤心灵的尘埃，以他那独有的魅力启发着我，熏陶着我，感悟着我，载我扬帆起航，带我搏击风浪，领我经历风雨，指引我在书的殿堂中成长。星空中文网：www.xkzw.com

读书，读的是另一个人生，佛曰：“一花一世界，一叶一菩提”多读一本书，无异于多活一个人生，让我们在充盈着书香的天空中翱翔吧!

国家主席习近平出席开幕式并发表主旨演讲，强调互联网是人类的共同家园，各国应该共同构建网络空间命运共同体，推动网络空间互联互通、共享共治，为开创人类发展更加美好的未来助力。

习近平就共同构建网络空间命运共同体提出包括，打造网上文化交流共享平台、依法开展网络空间治理、发展跨境电子商务、建设信息经济示范区、发展分享经济、支持基于互联网的各类创新、反对网络监听和网络攻击等建议。

同时，习近平在讲话中表示，推进全球互联网治理体系变革，应该坚持尊重网络主权、维护和平安全、促进开放合作、构建良好秩序四个原则。

习近平指出，互联网让世界变成了“鸡犬之声相闻”的地球村，相隔万里的人们不再“老死不相往来”。可以说，世界因互联网而更多彩，生活因互联网而更丰富。

同学们，老师们，大家好！我很高兴今天能够站在这里接受这严峻的挑战。大家曾记得拿破仑有句名言：“不想当将军的士兵不是好士兵”。上个学期，我很荣幸的当上了班长，这个学期，为了更好的训练自己，我决定再次竞选班长。 我以前有当过班长，但缺乏经验，这是我最大的缺点。虽然我管理班级纪律管得不够严。但在新的学期就有新的开始，我会趁这个机会，好好努力。我认为，班长不只是个称号，不只是个光环，它背后有实质性的内容，与同学们息息相关。所以，假若我当选，我不会让这个“长”成为一个虚名。班长应该是架在老师与同学之间的一座桥梁，是老师的得力助手。不过，我得先从自我做起，严格要求自己，；其次，我会在任何时候、任何情况下，都能想同学们之所想，急同学们之所急，敢于坚持原则，敢于积极为同学们谋求正当的权益。班长作为一个班集体的带头人物，我有能力处理好班级的各种事务。当别人有困难时，我会热心向前帮忙；我还会带领大家一起学习，一起进步，一起在知识的海洋里遨游。作为班长候选人之一，我相信自已有能力，并且我保证我当上了班长后，我会更加努力，做好学生的榜样，管理好班级，完成班上的各项任务，让同学更加团结，发挥自己的带头作用，都让我班的各项都走在全年级头。我会以更大的努力，为班级争添彩，为大家做好榜样。学习方面，我会更加努力，以优异的综合性成绩来告诉大家，我能行！ 希望大家支持我，投上你们宝贵的一票吧！

Faculty, family, friends, and fellow graduates, good evening.

I am honored to address you tonight. On behalf of the graduating masters and doctoral students of Washington Universitys School of Engineering and Applied Science, I would like to thank all the parents, spouses, families, and friends who encouraged and supported us as we worked towards our graduate degrees. I would especially like to thank my own family, eight members of which are in the audience today. I would also like to thank all of the department secretaries and other engineering school staff members who always seemed to be there when confused graduate students needed help. And finally I would like to thank the Washington University faculty members who served as our instructors, mentors, and friends.

As I think back on the seven-and-a-half years I spent at Washington University, my mind is filled with memories, happy, sad, frustrating, and even humorous.

Tonight I would like to share with you some of the memories that I take with me as I leave Washington University.

I take with me the memory of my office on the fourth floor of Lopata Hall - the room at the end of the hallway that was too hot in summer, too cold in winter, and always too far away from the womens restroom. The window was my offices best feature. Were it not for the physics building across the way, it would have afforded me a clear view of the arch. But instead I got a view of the roof of the physics building. I also had a view of one corner of the roof of Urbauer Hall, which seemed to be a favorite perch for various species of birds who alternately won perching rights for several weeks at a time. And I had a nice view of the physics courtyard, noteworthy as a good place for watching people run their dogs. Its amazing how fascinating these views became the longer I worked on my dissertation. But my favorite view was of a nearby oak tree. From my fourth-floor vantage point I had a rather intimate view of the tree and the various birds and squirrels that inhabit it. Occasionally a bird would land on my window sill, which usually had the effect of startling both of us.

I take with me the memory of two young professors who passed away while I was a graduate student. Anne Johnstone, the only female professor from whom I took a course in the engineering school, and Bob Durr, a political science professor and a member of my dissertation committee, both lost brave battles with cancer. I remember them fondly.

I take with me the memory of failing the first exam in one of the first engineering courses I took as an undergraduate. I remember thinking the course was just too hard for me and that I would never be able to pass it. So I went to talk to the professor, ready to drop the class. And he told me not to give up, he told me I could succeed in his class. For reasons that seemed completely ludicrous at the time, he said he had faith in me. And after that my grades in the class slowly improved, and I ended the semester with an A on the final exam. I remember how motivational it was to know that someone believed in me.

I take with me memories of the midwestern friendliness that so surprised me when I arrived in St. Louis 8 years ago. Since moving to New Jersey, I am sad to say, nobody has asked me where I went to high school.

I take with me the memory of the short-lived computer science graduate student social committee lunches. The idea was that groups of CS grad students were supposed to take turns cooking a monthly lunch. But after one grad student prepared a pot of chicken that poisoned almost the entire CS grad student population and one unlucky faculty member in one fell swoop, there wasnt much enthusiasm for having more lunches.

I take with me the memory of a more successful graduate student effort, the establishment of the Association of Graduate Engineering Students, known as AGES. Started by a handful of engineering graduate students because we needed a way to elect representatives to a campus-wide graduate student government, AGES soon grew into an organization that now sponsors a wide variety of activities and has been instrumental in addressing a number of engineering graduate student concerns.

I take with me the memory of an Engineering and Policy department that once had flourishing programs for full-time undergraduate, masters, and doctoral students.

I take with me memories of the 1992 U.S. Presidential debate. Eager to get involved in all the excitement I volunteered to help wherever needed. I remember spending several days in the makeshift debate HQ giving out-of-town reporters directions to the athletic complex. I remember being thrilled to get assigned the job of collecting film from the photographers in the debate hall during the debate. And I remember the disappointment of drawing the shortest straw among the student volunteers and being the one who had to take the film out of the debate hall and down to the dark room five minutes into the debate - with no chance to re-enter the debate hall after I left.

I take with me memories of university holidays which never seemed to apply to graduate students. I remember spending many a fall break and Presidents Day holiday with my fellow grad students in all day meetings brought to us by the computer science department.

I take with me memories of exams that seemed designed more to test endurance and perseverance than mastery of the subject matter. I managed to escape taking any classes that featured infamous 24-hour-take-home exams, but remember the suffering of my less fortunate colleagues. And what doctoral student could forget the pain and suffering one must endure to survive the qualifying exams?

I take with me the memory of the seven-minute rule, which always seemed to be an acceptable excuse for being ten minutes late for anything on campus, but which doesnt seem to apply anywhere else I go.

I take with me the memory of Friday afternoon ACM happy hours, known not for kegs of beer, but rather bowls of rainbow sherbet punch. Over the several years that I attended these happy hours they enjoyed varying degrees of popularity, often proportional to the quality and quantity of the accompanying refreshments - but there was always the rainbow sherbert punch.

I take with me memories of purple parking permits, the West Campus shuttle, checking my pendaflex, over-due library books, trying to print from cec, lunches on Delmar, friends who slept in their offices, miniature golf in Lopata Hall, The Greenway Talk, division III basketball, and trying to convince Dean Russel that yet another engineering school rule should be changed.

Finally, I would like to conclude, not with a memory, but with some advice. What would a graduation speech be without a little advice, right? Anyway, this advice comes in the form of a verse delivered to the 1977 graduating class of Lake Forest College by Theodore Seuss Geisel, better known to the world as Dr. Seuss - Heres how it goes:

My uncle ordered popovers

from the restaurants bill of fare.

And when they were served,

he regarded them

with a penetrating stare . . .

Then he spoke great Words of Wisdom

as he sat there on that chair:

"To eat these things,"

said my uncle,

"you must excercise great care.

You may swallow down whats solid . . .

BUT . . .

you must spit out the air!"

And . . .

as you partake of the worlds bill of fare,

thats darned good advice to follow.

Do a lot of spitting out the hot air.

And be careful what you swallow.

Thank you.
