口语比赛自我介绍英文初中20篇

HI！同学们好，我名字叫刘文文，以后能和大家一起念中学,我真的很高兴.下面我向大家自我介绍一下.

一张圆脸，一束扎起来的马尾,这形象一直跟随着我的小学6年。我今年12岁了，已经是个初中生了,却总还是脱不了这满脸的稚气。

我的主要爱好是爱看书。说起看书，我还有一段小故事呢！小学5年纪的时候，我看当时的同桌买了一本《茶花女》，这本书我向往了许久，可是爸爸始终没有答应我的要求。我的自尊心很强，从小到大几乎没有求过别人，这次，我硬着头皮，只好向他去借。谁知，他说可以是可以，可得拿我的《木马屠城记》跟他交换，我只好把书给他，向他要了那本《茶花女》。

我的缺点就是爱掉哭。呵，你可别笑，这也是我的爱好哩！宠物死了，哭！受欺负了，哭！考试不好，哭！看书看到感人处，鼻子一酸，又落下两排“金豆豆”。不过，我不觉得难为情.我很喜欢一句话“当笑则笑，当哭则哭，无须掩饰。” 坦荡荡的.

要说我讨厌的，就数运动了。所以体育成绩也一直不好了。垒球最远能扔四五米，考试成绩从没有过70分的。这个缺点，我以后一定要改。

It is known to all that panda is our national treasure. Its lovely image is favored by people from all over the world. When I see the panda, I am so excited, its black eyes and round fat body shape look so cute. The pandas are very lazy, they just eat and sleep all the day. People always play the joke that if you have not enough sleep, you will look like a panda.

众所周知,熊猫是我们的国宝。其可爱的形象深受来自世界各地人们的喜爱。当我看到熊猫,我很兴奋,它的黑眼睛和圆胖的体型看起来很可爱。熊猫非常懒惰,他们除了吃饭就是睡觉。人们总是开玩笑说,如果你没有足够的睡眠,你会看起来像一只熊猫。

一个自信的性格，一个放松的状态，以及一种让人亲近的感觉，这就是我，来自XXXX，。我毕业于XXXX表演专业。我是一个十分乐观的x孩，最大的特质就是执着，只要是我所选取的事情，我所选取的道路，我都会十分坚定的走下去。我喜欢挑战自我，喜欢在强手之中找到自我的位置，如果胜利我会嫣然一笑，如果失败我会得到更大的动力，争取更大的成功。我看过一本书，书上说：机遇对每个人都是平等的。但成功只给有准备的人。而这个准备，就是一个自我提高、自我完善的过程。只要你为自我选取的目标去奋斗了，你的生活就会充满快乐。

这天，能不能得上奖并不重要，重要的是我给了自我一次展示自我、认识自我、锻炼自我的机会，也给我一次向大家学习、提高自我的机会。电视是一扇窗，当你打开着扇窗时，你我之间就开始了真诚的交流，主持对我来说是一个无限广阔的魅力空间，我心甘愿为他付出，为他去奉献。多谢评委老师，多谢大家，更多谢值得尊敬的对手。这天能站在这个舞台上讲这些话，我就战胜了自已，我能够告诉自已，我赢了。多谢!

Hello everyone, my name is Lee. This is really a great honor to have this opportunity, and I believe I can make good performance today. Now I will introduce myself briefly. I am 20 years old，born in Guangdong province, south of China, and I am a senior student at Guangdong **University. My major is English. And I will receive my bachelor degree after my graduation in June. In the past four years, I spent most of my time on study. I passed CET4 and CET6 with a ease and acquired basic theoretical and practical knowledge of Language. Besides, I have attended several Speech competition held in Beijing, which really showed our professional advantages. I have taken a tour to some big factories and companies, through which I got a deep understanding of English for application. Compared to developed countries, unfortunately, although we have made extraordinary progress since 1998, our packaging industry is still underdeveloped, messy and unstable, and the situation of employees in the field is awkward.

I would like to tell you that this job is one of my lifelong goals. If I can work here,I will work hard. As to my character, I cannot describe it well, but I know I am optimistic and confident. Sometimes I prefer to stay alone, reading and listening to the music, but I am not lonely, for I like to chat with my classmates about almost everything. My favorite pastime is to play volleyball, to play cards or to surf online. From life at university, I learn how to balance study and entertainment. By the way, I was an actor in our amazing drama club. I have a few glorious memories on stage. That is my pride...

运动会锻炼的是体力，激活的是生命，弘扬的是个性和青春活力，收获的是笑脸和精神风貌。——题记

那是一个炎热的夏天。突然接到一个令人振奋的消息‘‘今天下午要在我们老校举行篮球比赛，由我们老校的球员对战新校的球员。’’这对于我们这些球迷来说不外乎是个好消息。

终于到了下午，我们迫不及待地跑到操场上，占好位置等待这场别开生面的比赛的开始。篮球队的帅哥们又在兴致勃勃的练球，他们就像一个个整装待发的‘‘将士’’。

又过了几分钟，比赛随着裁判老师的口哨声开始了！新校的球员抢到了球，他左晃右晃，突破了我们的重重包围，正在他准备投篮时就被我‘‘家’’的小刚抢走了，小刚可真是实力派的球员啊！小刚把球传给了小明，小明接到球后火箭似的往前冲，突破了对手的天罗地网，然后一个跳跃，投篮，‘‘球进了！’’球员们脸上带着掩饰不住的高兴与骄傲。我们拼命的喊着‘‘加油！加油！’’嗓子都快冒烟，不过我们也乐在其中。球在他们手上一上一下，呀！不好球被新校的球员抢走了。我们的球员把他团团围住。他使劲一抛，脸都涨红了，结果球出界了。

这次我们的小新抢到了球，小新把球抛给了小文，小文穿梭来穿梭去，耍的他们团团转，然后一个转身将球抛给了埋伏在对手阵地的小刚，小刚接到球后，将球投进了蓝里，那个顽皮的球竟然还在蓝边跳起了舞，但还是乖乖的落进了蓝内。我心里的石头也随之落下了。‘‘好球！’’全校人无不为之高兴，脸上的笑容也更加灿烂。

球的砰砰声，我们的欢呼声，笑声组成了校园交响曲，使炎热的夏天不在炎热。

Hello, my friends, My name is Cherie. I come from BeiHai, a city of GuangXi

province. Now I want to tell you something about me hometown. BeiHai is a

beautiful city near the sea. There are several places worth visiting.

The most famous place is the Silver Beach. You can take the no.2 bus and

take no.3bus to the Silver Beach. You can get off the bus at the Beach hotel

stop and set the luggage or have s rest at the hotel. Then go back the road

which the bus have come. The beach is not far from the hotel, you can’t miss it.

The seafood is very delicious, you can have some for supper after swimming. The

world under the sea is a fantasy place. When you go into it, you will feel that

you are really under the sea. There are so many kinds of fish swimming around

you.

The most exciting program is “dancing with the shark” .that is some girls

who dress as the fish dive into the water and play.

My name is Lin and Im from China. 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.

我的名字是林，我来自中国。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。

我叫尹**。一听到这个名字，您是否感以有长不大的意思?是啊，在父母眼里，我永远也长不大，婧婧是我的小名，翻开字典查这个“婧”字，是女子有才能的意思。不好意思，真有点儿对不起这个名字，其实我挺差的。我还给自己起了个笔名——雪娆。是根据毛主席《沁园春·雪》一词中的诗句起的，我觉得这个名字很美。

今年我十六岁了。十六岁的花季，应该是快快乐乐的，十六岁的女孩更应该是快快乐乐的，而我却相反。我的性格注定我要在花季流泪。我动辄就哭哭啼啼。难怪妈妈说我像多愁善感的林黛玉。不过，我也蛮喜欢这样的性格，她使我走向爱好文学的道路，并且得到了老师的赏识。我特别喜爱文学，尤其是散文和诗。我常常把自己的快乐和忧愁融入一首首小诗和一篇篇散文里。

我四岁半开始上幼儿园，六岁上学前班，八岁上小学。在小学，我的座右铭是：学费不比人家交得少，成绩更不能比别人差!所以，我的成绩一直是班级的前几名。妈妈也一直把我视为她的希望，她的自豪。我就在这一片赞扬声中长大了。大概因为我的骄傲自大吧，渐渐地，我的成绩滑到了中等。到了初三更严重，成绩竟一次比一次差。不过家人和老师没有放弃我。他们认为我一定会赶上去的。

现在，关于我的故事还不多。我想，过几年再写我的自传时会更精彩。

尊敬的老师，亲爱的同学们，大家好！

我叫xxx，今年十二岁，生日是四月十七日，可爱的白羊座，万能的o型血，我毕业于利辛县实验小学。

我是那种“静如处女，动如脱兔”的类型，鼻梁上架着一副眼镜，哎！都是电脑惹的祸啊！我个子不算高，不过短小精悍，浓缩就是精华嘛！

我的成绩嘛，小学在班上还不错喽，多次获得各科奖项，曾任班长、中队长、大队委和副大队长，也是老师的得意弟子，然而这都已成为过去。在现今这个高手云集的班级里，我已感到了压力。不过我相信，压力就是动力，我一定会努力加油的！

我喜欢体育，爱跑步、跳绳和乒乓球，小学还多次在运动会上获奖；我经常参加学校组织的各类活动，表现也比较好，很多时候，都被当成榜样。

以前班上的同学和朋友都上了各自不同的中学，到水二中的很少。所以，在新的环境中，我相信我会认识更多的新朋友，希望大家也能愿意和我交朋友。

通过我的描述，相信大家对我有所了解了吧，在接下来的三年的学习期间，希望我们愉快相处。

你瞧镜子里出现了一个不胖不瘦不高不矮的的女孩，一头长发，一双有神的眼的眼睛下长着油润的鼻子。想要更多了解我吗？让我慢慢告诉你。

我叫王梓，是个14岁的女孩，我有些近视，我非常幽默老是在同学不高兴的时候说些好笑的话逗他们笑，他们都说我很幽默，我也这么觉的。

记得刚上小学1年级的时候我便成了同学嘴中的笑话。有人说我是白马王子；有人说我是黑马王子，还有人说我是青蛙王子。我听后怒吼的对她们说：“你才是王子呢。”他们听后笑着说；“你不是叫王梓吗，现在说你不叫王梓，那学校里就没有你这个人了吧。”我一听生气的拍了一下张桌子走了。

一连几天我总在学校里听到同学们在议论我的名字，因此我有了许多外号，最可气的是那位给我配镜子的那位医生，那天爸爸带我去配镜子，当医生点到我名字的时候我站在了医生面前，医生看了笑了笑旁边的人也笑了笑说道：“原来是女孩呀，我以为是男孩呢。”听后我又生气又尴尬，笑了笑心里却在想我又不想叫王梓，是父母起的要说，说他们呀说我干嘛切。

自从好多人都笑着说我的名字怎么着的，我应要求爸妈给我改名字。可母亲说你长大了就知道名字的好处了。我不明白地说了声哦。后来我的名字就没改，可我还是想改。直到有一天我明白了……母亲给我说了很多，后来我也不改名字了，觉的这名字挺好的。因为不管我叫什么我就是我，无论别人怎么说我我都会说我自己的名字不用你管。

这就是我，你愿意跟我交朋友吗？

我国古代作品中的人物繁多，如：足智多谋的诸葛亮、生性多疑的曹操、阿谀奉承的王熙凤……但我最喜欢的，还是那憨厚老实的猪八戒。

猪八戒的幽默风趣，总是能让我们哈哈大笑。当他们师徒四人被困在金角大王和银角大王的洞里时，猪八戒又是闹又是叫救命。当金角大王说是要吃猪八戒的肉时，总是把孙悟空搬出来。

当然，猪八戒也总在关键时候“掉链子”。在大师兄孙悟空扮成妖怪就要救出师徒三人时，猪八戒竟把孙悟空假扮妖怪的事说了出来，害得大师兄只能想别的办法。

猪八戒不好的一面当然就是好吃懒做、贪图美色啦!每次吃饭时，就数猪八戒吃得最多，甚至有时还把别人的那份也给吃了。可是，师傅或是大师兄让猪八戒打水，他就不愿意了，总是有一堆理由来证明“我不想打水”，就算他真去打了水，也是心不甘、情不愿的。贪图美色，就体现在他去高老庄的那次。他想和高老庄里的小姐成亲，可是因为长相，小姐不愿意，他就强迫小姐和他成亲，还把她关起来，直到唐僧师徒的到来，此时才有一个真正的了结。有时，他遇上长得漂亮的妖精也会“犯病”。

这就是我眼中的猪八戒，可能有时会好吃懒做，被美色给迷惑，但这应该也是他表达可爱的一种吧!当然，他在我眼中更是幽默风趣、憨厚老实的，我喜欢猪八戒!

朋友们，你们认识我吗?我叫XXX，今年13岁，在XX学校上七年级，在中文学校读第八册。我的眼睛很大很有神，我的鼻子高高的，挺挺的，我的耳朵也很大，我的嘴巴不大不小正正好，我的样子不错吧!

我做任何事情都很认真，早上起床根本不用妈妈叫，上学一直很准时，从不迟到早退，作业也很认真完成，我很节省，妈妈给我的零用钱，我一分钱也不会花，全都存到我的“小银行”(存钱罐)，等妈妈有及用的时候，我全都拿出来给妈妈。我非常爱学习，爱读书。因为一个人不学习读书就没有知识，没有知识就没有一切。妈妈说知识就是最大的财富，现在我的最大任务就是学习，努力学好各门知识，我的数学特别好，在班上都是数一数二的。我的书法很感兴趣，字也写得不错，当然还要更加努力。我很喜欢看书，书能够使我增加很多知识，开阔了我的视野，书永远是我的老师和最好的朋友。

我跟很多男孩子一样，喜欢运动，喜欢打电子游戏。特别是一打游戏就把什么事情都忘掉。记得有一次，我在打游戏，妈妈打了个电话给我说今天自己会晚一点才会回来，叫我先煮饭，我答应了。接着我又去打游戏了，打着打着就入了迷，把什么事情都忘了。一直打到妈妈回来才停了下来，妈妈问：“你的饭煮好了没有?”我才记起自己没有煮饭。害的大家都没饭吃。

我的性格很内向，不喜欢主动和别人打招呼。妈妈教我很多次，但是我还是跟以前一样。我就是一个样的，死性不改。

以后，我一定要看更多的书，学更多的知识，还要改掉这些坏毛病，让妈妈放心，让所有的人都喜欢我。

在十二月九日下午，我们五年级四班与五年级一班进行了一场激烈的女子篮球冠亚军争夺赛。

嘟……，随着裁判员的一声哨响，比赛开始了，各班的啦啦队都在为各自班的运动健儿加油助威。

比赛开始后不久，我班就进了一个两分球。但是一班的队员也紧盯着，找准机会下手。瞧，我班的中锋陈柏宇刚把篮球接住，一班的队员就紧追上来了，当她准备把球传给另一位中锋刘萱时，不料传球失误，传到了对方的队员手中，对手正在投球时，正好后位张灵蕊站在那里，只见她飞身一跃，一下子就将球抢了过来，传给了我方队长李力。这时，李力也不甘示弱，接住球就往要投篮的方向飞快地运球，到了投篮区，她双手举球，纵身一跃，篮球就飞快地往篮框里跑去，就在这要进球的紧急时刻，篮球却在篮圈上打转，就是不掉进篮框里，我们大家的心也跟着篮球悬了起来，都捏住了一把汗，最后，篮球终于进了。同学们使劲地鼓掌，有的欢呼了起来，有的跳跃起来。我们悬着的心也总算放下来了。

嘟……，又一声哨响，上半场的比赛结束了，队员们休息了一会儿，又开始了下半场的比赛。大家吸取了上半场的教训，个个死死的盯住目标，越战越勇，不一会儿，下半场的比赛也结束了，比分是四比四，双方打成了平局。最后裁判员决定发点球来分胜负，看哪个队进的球越多，哪个队就赢了。我们班的刘萱投进了一个球，而一班的队员没投进，最后，我们班夺得了冠军。大家高兴的抱在一起，跳跃着、欢呼着。

一场激烈的篮球赛就在这欢声笑语中结束了。

My name is ________. There are 4 people in my family. My father is a Chemistry teacher. He teaches chemistry in senior high school. My mother is an English teacher. She teaches English in the university. I have a younger brother, he is a junior high school student and is preparing for the entrance exam.

I like to read English story books in my free time. Sometimes I surf the Internet and download the E-books to read. Reading E-books is fun. In addition, it also enlarges my vocabulary words because of the advanced technology and the vivid animations.

I think smiling is as important as sunshine. Smiling is like sunshine

because it can make people happy and have a good day. If you aren’t happy, you

can smile, and then you will feel happy. Someone may say, “But I don’t feel

happy.” Then I would say, “Please smile as you do when you are happy or play

with your friends happily. You will really be happy again.”

You don’t like crying, right? So you must prefer smiling, because you know

smiling will let people forget everything unhappy. Every day, we see teachers or

students and say, “Hi/Hello! How are you?” At the same time, you are smiling,

right?

Smiling can let you have more friends. With a smile, people will know

you’re a kind person. They will talk with you, so you will have more and more

friends.

So I say, smiling is like a flower, the sunshine, warmth. It will give you

happiness.

我是一个非常开朗、活泼的女生，从来没有过不开心的不开心的时候，就算有也只是暂时的。好学的我啥都学，舞蹈、唱歌、弹古筝样样都行，不过不擅长的是数学、英语这两门科目。上了初中之后，我已经不再不想上这两门课了，我觉得初中的数学和英语比较简单的时候，就开始拼命让自己喜欢这两科，使自己的成绩跟上班上的同学。

我最擅长弹古筝，我很高兴自己有毅力学了五年左右的古筝，有一双好弹古筝的手儿。喜欢古筝的我，时不时的弹首乐曲，拨动琴弦，美妙的音乐便会在我房间徘徊。

我现在已经是初一的学生了，我想把精力都放在学习上，只有星期天的时候学完作业才会弹古筝，既不落下学习，又不会让自己的技艺生疏。希望自己能在弹琴水平提升的同时，学习也能跟着进步。

这就是我了，一个很热情的女孩子。

The Ghost Festival, also known as the Hungry Ghost Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival and holiday celebrated by Chinese in many countries. In the Chinese calendar (a lunisolar calendar), the Ghost Festival is on the 15th night of the seventh lunar month (14th in southern China).

In Chinese tradition, the fifteenth day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar is called Ghost Day and the seventh month in general is regarded as the Ghost Month (鬼月), in which ghosts and spirits, including those of the deceased ancestors, come out from the lower realm. Distinct from both the Qingming Festival (in Spring) and Chung Yeung Festival (in Autumn) in which living descendants pay homage to their deceased ancestors, on Ghost Day, the deceased are believed to visit the living.

On the fifteenth day the realms of Heaven and Hell and the realm of the living are open and both Taoists and Buddhists would perform rituals to transmute and absolve the sufferings of the deceased. Intrinsic to the Ghost Month is ancestor worship, where traditionally the filial piety of descendants extends to their ancestors even after their deaths. Activities during the month would include preparing ritualistic food offerings, burning incense, and burning joss paper, a papier-mâché form of material items such as clothes, gold and other fine goods for the visiting spirits of the ancestors. Elaborate meals (often vegetarian meals) would be served with empty seats for each of the deceased in the family treating the deceased as if they are still living. Ancestor worship is what distinguishes Qingming Festival from Ghost Festival because the latter includes paying respects to all deceased, including the same and younger generations, while the former only includes older generations. Other festivities may include, buying and releasing miniature paper boats and lanterns on water, which signifies giving directions to the lost ghosts and spirits of the ancestors and other deities.

The Ghost Festival is celebrated during the seventh month of the Chinese calendar. It also falls at the same time as a full moon, the new season, the fall harvest, the peak of Buddhist monastic asceticism, the rebirth of ancestors, and the assembly of the local community. During this month, the gates of hell are opened up and ghosts are free to roam the earth where they seek food and entertainment. These ghosts are believed to be ancestors of those who forgot to pay tribute to them after they died, or those who were never given a proper ritual send-off. They have long needle-thin necks because they have not been fed by their family, or as a punishment so that they are unable to swallow. Family members offer prayers to their deceased relatives, offer food and drink and burn hell bank notes and other forms of joss paper. Joss paper items are believed to have value in the afterlife,considered to be very similar in some aspects to the material world, People burn paper houses, cars, servants and televisions to please the ghosts. Families also pay tribute to other unknown wandering ghosts so that these homeless souls do not intrude on their lives and bring misfortune. A large feast is held for the ghosts on the fourteenth day of the seventh month, when people brings samples of food and places them on an offering table to please the ghosts and ward off bad luck.

In some East Asian countries today, live performances are held and everyone is invited to attend. The first row of seats are always empty as this is where the ghosts sit. The shows are always put on at night and at high volumes as the sound is believed to attract and please the ghosts. Some shows include Chinese opera, dramas, and in some areas, even burlesque shows. These acts are better known as "Merry-making".

For rituals, Buddhists and Taoists hold ceremonies to relieve ghosts from suffering, many of them holding ceremonies in the afternoon or at night (as it is believed that the ghosts are released from hell when the sun sets). Altars are built for the deceased and priests and monks alike perform rituals for the benefit of ghosts. Monks and priests often throw rice or other small foods into the air in all directions to distribute them to the ghosts.

During the evening, incense is burnt in front of the doors households. Incense stands for prosperity in Chinese culture, so families believe that there is more prosperity in burning more incense.[4]During the festival, some shops are closed as they want to leave the streets open for the ghosts. In the middle of each street stands an altar of incense with fresh fruit and sacrifices displayed on it.

Fourteen days after the festival, to make sure all the hungry ghosts find their way back to hell, people flow water lanterns and set them outside their houses (a practice that can be found amongst the Japanese during Obon). These lanterns are made by setting a lotus flower-shaped lantern on a paper boat. The lanterns are used to direct the ghosts back to the underworld, and when they go out, it symbolizes that they have found their way back.
