第一篇：英語演講小短文

Smiling 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.”

Smiling can let you have more friends.So I say, smiling is like a flower.It will give you happiness.微笑

我認為微笑是一樣重要的象陽光。微笑是象陽光，因為它可能使人愉快和有一個早晨好。如果您不是愉快的，您能微笑，您然后將感覺愉快。某人也許說，“但是我不感到愉快”。然后我會說，“請微笑，您，當您愉快地是愉快或戲劇與您的朋友。您真正地再將是愉快的”。

微笑可能讓您有更多朋友。如此我說，微笑是象花。它將給您幸福。

HOW TO GET HAPPINESS 如何獲得快樂

There is no doubt that happiness is the most precious thing in the world.Without it, life will be empty and meaningless.If you wish to know how to get happiness, you must pay attention to the following two points.First, health is the secret of happiness(the key to happiness).Only a strong man can enjoy the pleasure of life.Secondly, happiness consists in contentment.A man who is dissatisfied with his present condition is always in distress.無疑的快樂是世界上最寶貴的東西。沒有它，人生將是空虛的而且毫無意義的。如果你希望知道如何獲得快樂，你須注意下面兩點。健康是快樂的要訣。唯有身體強壯的人才能享受人生的樂趣?？鞓吩谟谥?。一個不滿于現(xiàn)狀的人終是處在痛苦之中。

INDUSTRY(DILIGENCE)勤勉

It is a matter of course that industry will bring us success, wealth and good luck.I am sure that a hard-working person can always succeed in the work which he wants to do.This is unchangeable truth.Idleness is the opposite of industry.It is the source of all evil.An idle man only enjoys playing and making pleasures.That he is doomed to failure is of no doubt.We should not follow his example.勤勉會帶給我們成功，財富和好運乃是當然之事。我確信一個苦干的人終是能夠做成功他所要做的工作。這是不易之定理。懶惰是勤勉的反面。它是萬惡之源泉。一個懶惰的人只享受玩耍和尋樂。他命運注定失敗是毫無疑問的。我們不應學他的榜樣。

Whether sixty or sixteen, 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 is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.無論是60歲還是16歲，你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心、永不熄滅的孩提般求知的渴望和追求事業(yè)成功的歡樂與熱情。在你我的心底，有一座無線電臺，它能在多長時間里接收到人間萬物傳遞來的美好、希望、歡樂、鼓舞和力量的信息，你就會年輕多長時間。

An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls.Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.人的生命應當像河流，開始是涓涓細流，受兩岸的限制而十分狹窄，爾后奔騰咆哮，翻過危巖，飛越瀑布，河面漸漸開闊，河岸也隨之向兩邊隱去，最后水流平緩，森森無際，匯入大海之中，個人就這樣毫無痛苦地消失了。

IS Failure a Bad Thing Failure is a common thing in our daily life.As students, we sometimes fail to get high scores in our exams.When we play games, we might be beaten by others.And there are times when we fail to do work well.All these failures happen naturally and almost every one of us has such experiences.However, there are different attitudes towards failure.Some people lose heart when they fail;they think the world is at its end.Some people don?t take failure seriously but just let it be, while some others learn much from failure, and therefore see the light of hope through failure.In my opinion, what is really important is not failure itself, but what we think of failure and what we do after failure.As long as we don?t give up, keeping believing in ourselves, and at the same time learn something from failure, we‘ll certainly make our mark in the end.So I am never afraid of failure, for I believe that failure is not a bad thing.Rather, “Failure is the mother of success.” 失敗是壞事嗎 失敗在我們的日常生活中很常見。作為學生，我們有時在考試中得不到高分。在我們和其他人比賽時，有時會輸。還有的時候，我們總做不好事情。所有這些失敗都很自然，我們每一個人都有類似的經歷。然而，面對失敗人們的態(tài)度卻截然不同。一些人失敗后變得灰心喪氣，似乎世界末日到了；一些人不拿失敗當回事兒，聽之任之；還有一些人卻從失敗中學習東西，從而從失敗中能看到希望。在我看來，重要的不是失敗本身，而是我們對待失敗的態(tài)度和失敗之后我們的行動。只要我們不放棄，相信自己，并從失敗中汲取營養(yǎng)，我們最后一定會取得勝利。因此，我從不害怕失敗，因為我相信失敗并不是壞事。相反，“失敗是成功之母

Friends 朋友

A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.真正的朋友是一個可以援手幫助并感動你心扉的人。

There's always going to be people that hurt you, so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.別人常常傷害你，所以你該繼續(xù)付出信任，并小心挑選你下次信任的人。

Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.在你想了解別人也想讓別人了解你之前，先完善并了解自己。Remember: Whatever happens, happens for a reason.要記?。喝魏问虑榈陌l(fā)生都有因有起。

How many people actually have 8 true friends? Hardly anyone I know.But some of us have all right friends and good friends.有多少人可以擁有八個真正的朋友？就我所知少之又少。但我們會有泛泛之交和好友。

Love Your Life 熱愛生活

Henry David Thoreau/享利.大衛(wèi).梭羅

However mean your life is, meet it and live it;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The faultfinder will find faults in paradise.Love your life, poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.Which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends, Turn the old, return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.不論你的生活如何卑賤，你要面對它生活，不要躲避它，更別用惡言咒罵它。它不像你那樣壞。你最富有的時候，倒是看似最窮。愛找缺點的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺點。你要愛你的生活，盡管它貧窮。甚至在一個濟貧院里，你也還有愉快、高興、光榮的時候。夕陽反射在濟貧院的窗上，像身在富戶人家窗上一樣光亮；在那門前，積雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一個從容的人，在哪里也像在皇宮中一樣，生活得心滿意足而富有愉快的思想。城鎮(zhèn)中的窮人，我看，倒往往是過著最獨立不羈的生活。也許因為他們很大，所以受之無愧。大多數(shù)人以為他們是超然的，不靠城鎮(zhèn)來支援他們；可是事實上他們是往往利用了不正當?shù)氖侄蝸韺Ω渡睿麄兪呛敛怀摰?，毋寧是不體面的。視貧窮如園中之花而像圣人一樣耕植它吧！不要找新的花樣，無論是新的朋友或新的衣服，來麻煩你自己。找舊的，回到那里去。萬物不變，是我們在變。你的衣服可以賣掉，但要保留你的思想。

The Goodness of Life Though there is much to be concerned about, there is far, far more for which to be thankful.Though life?s goodness can at times be overshadowed, it is never outweighed.For every single act that is senselessly destructive, there are thousands more small, quiet acts of love, kindness and compassion.For every person who seeks to hurt, there are many, many more who devote their lives to helping and to healing.There is goodness to life that cannot be denied.In the most magnificent vistas and in the smallest details, look closely, for that goodness always comes shining through.There is no limit to the goodness of life.It grows more abundant with each new encounter.The more you experience and appreciate the goodness of life, the more there is to be lived.Even when the cold winds blow and the world seems to be covered in foggy shadows, the goodness of life lives on.Open your eyes open your heart, and you will see that goodness is everywhere.Though the goodness of life seems at times to suffer setbacks, it always endures.For in the darkest moment it becomes vividly clear that life is a priceless treasure.And so the goodness of life is made even stronger by the very things that would oppose it.Time and time again when you feared it was gone forever you found that the goodness of life was really only a moment away.Around the next corner, inside every moment, the goodness of life is there to surprise and delight you.Take a moment to let the goodness of life touch your spirit and calm your thoughts.Then, share your good fortune with another.For the goodness of life grows more and more magnificent each time it is given away.Though the problems constantly scream for attention and the conflicts appear to rage ever stronger, the goodness of life grows stronger still, quietly, peacefully, with more purpose and meaning than ever before.盡管有很多事讓人憂慮，但相比而言，值得感激的事要多得多。盡管生命的美好有時被蒙上陰影，但它卻永遠不會被埋沒。相對于每一個無謂的破壞行為而言，都有更多數(shù)以千計更為微小的，包含著愛，友善和同情的舉動靜靜地上演著。相對于每一個試圖傷害他人的人而言，都有更多的人致力于幫助他人，治愈他人的創(chuàng)傷。生命的美好不能否認。在最為壯觀的前景和最為瑣碎的細節(jié)中，請仔細觀察，因為美好的事物總是散發(fā)著耀眼的光芒閃亮登場。生命的美好沒有界限。每一次相遇都會使這美好變得越發(fā)豐富。你經歷得越多，越能欣賞生命的美好，生命中的美好就會變得越多。即使當寒風襲來，整個世界似乎被霧氣掩蓋之時，生命的美好仍會存在。睜開雙眼，打開心扉，你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)這美好無處不在。盡管生命的美好有時似乎遭受挫折，但它總會挺過來。因為，在最黑暗的時刻，有一點變得格外清楚，那就是，生命是無價的財富。因此，下正是與生命的美好相對立的事物使其越發(fā)強大。無數(shù)次地，當你擔心這美好已經遠離之時，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)生命的美好其實只與你相隔須臾。它就在下一角落，存在于每個時刻之間，等著給你驚喜?；ㄐr間讓生命的美好感動自己的靈魂，放松自己的思緒。然后，把你的幸運與他人分享。因為生命的美好會在每次給予之間變得越來越壯觀。盡管總是有問題讓你去關注，沖突也似乎愈演愈烈，但生命的美好卻總是靜靜地，平和地，帶著比以往更強的意志和更多的價值變得更加強大。

The life I desired

我所追求的生活

威廉.薩姆塞特.毛姆/William Somerset Maugham

That must be the story of innumerable couples, and the pattern of life of life it offers has a homely grace.It reminds you of a placid rivulet, meandering smoothly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees, till at last it falls into the vastly sea;but the sea is so calm, so silent, so indifferent, that you are troubled suddenly by a vague uneasiness.Perhaps it is only by a kink in my nature, strong in me even in those days, that I felt in such an existence, the share of the great majority, something amiss.I recognized its social value.I saw its ordered happiness, but a fever in my blood asked for a wilder course.There seemed to me something alarming in such easy delights.In my heart was desire to live more dangerously.I was not unprepared for jagged rocks and treacherous, shoals it I could only have change-change and the excitement of unforeseen.這一定是世間無數(shù)對夫妻的生活寫照，這種生活模式給人一種天倫之美。它使人想起一條平靜的溪流，蜿蜒暢游過綠茵的草場，濃蔭遮蔽，最后注入煙波浩渺的汪洋大海；但是大海太過平靜，太過沉默，太過不動聲色，你會突然感到莫名的不安。也許這只是我自己的一種怪誕想法，在那樣的時代，這想法對我影響很深：我覺得這像大多數(shù)人一樣的生活，似乎欠缺了一點兒什么。我承認這種生活有社會價值，我也看到了它那井然有序的幸福，但我血液里的沖動卻渴望一種更桀驁不馴的旅程．這樣的安逸中好像有一種叫我驚懼不安的東西．我的心渴望一種更加驚險的生活。只要生活中還能有變遷———以及不可知的刺激，我愿意踏上怪石嶙峋的山崖，奔赴暗礁滿布的海灘

Just a Little Bit More(再努力一點點)Lots of people lose hope at the so-called 11th hour1.In sports terms, we say that they lose hope just before the finishing line.xiaogushi8.com They don’t think that they can be winners in life, but the truth is they can.很多人在“最后關頭”喪失了希望。在體育領域這個詞是指人們在靠近終點線的前一刻放棄了希望。他們認為自己無法贏得生活的精彩,但事實上,他們可以。

The 11th hour is the point when most people feel the pain.It is an important moment that decides whether you succeed or not.Champions always put in extra effort to become winners and succeed.Those who don’t put in extra effort leave the race with nothing.All they need to win the race is a little extra effort at that last point.This is the difference between winners and losers.大多數(shù)人往往在“最后關頭”會感到痛苦。但這是一個決定你能否成功的關鍵時刻。成為冠軍的人往往會再加一把勁兒從而最終成為勝利者。而那些沒有堅持到最后的人卻一無所獲地離開賽場。其實他們獲得成功只需要在最后時刻再付出那么一點點努力。這就是勝者與敗者的區(qū)別。

I know you have the ability to be a champion.The race will not be easy, but it can be won.You need to put in extra effort when trying to achieve your goal.Just do a little bit more.This is what will separate you from others who seek to be where you are.When you want to give up or slow down because you feel tired, try to keep on going until you reach the finishing line.You can do it because you still have strength within you.我相信你有能力成為冠軍。比賽是不輕松,但你同樣可以贏得勝利。為了達成目標你需要不懈努力。再多付出一點點。而這將把你與其他人區(qū)分開,這將決定你是否能成為冠軍。當你因為疲憊而想到放棄或減速慢行的時候,試著再努力一次,努力堅持到終點線。你可以做到,因為你自身擁有強大的力量。

It’s a new day今天又是新的一天

Yes, it’s a new day, it’s a different day, and it’s a bright day!In your mind, you can see clearly the things you want to have, the places you intend to go, the relationships1 you desire to develop and the positions you aspire to reach.是的,今天是新的一天,今天是與眾不同的一天,今天是陽光明媚的一天。在你心里,你夢寐以求的東西,你渴望到達的地方,你想要發(fā)展的關系,你渴望得到的職位,都清晰可見。

You know all this is real as long as you are confident, passionate and committed!And you are confident;you are passionate;you are committed!你知道,只要你有信心、有激情,肯下決心,所有這些都能實現(xiàn)。此刻你充滿信心,滿懷激情,躍躍欲試嗎？永遠都不要放棄對美好的追求。

You will never waver in your pursuit.After all, you are the best, and you deserve the best!As your friend, duanwenw.com I can assure you the door to all the best things in the world will be open to you, but the key to that door is in your hand.You must do your part, you must follow the plans you make and take action as you plan, you must never stop, and you must never fear.因為你是最棒的,而且你應該是最棒的！作為你的朋友,我敢肯定,通向所有美好事物的門都會向你打開,然而開啟這扇門的鑰匙卻把握在你的手中。你必須盡職盡責,忠實履行自己的計劃,并將它們付諸行動。不要退縮,不要恐懼。

I know you must do it, you can do it, you will do it and you will succeed!Now stand firm and tall, get excited and shout it out: “I must do it!I can do it!I will do it!I will succeed!” 我知道你必須、應該,也一定會這樣做而且你一定會成功！堅定而自信地站起來,用激揚的聲音告訴所有人:“我必須成功！我能成功！我一定會成功！” 我是我自己的陽光I Am My Sunshine It’s all right to believe that someone brings sunshine into your life.That someone might have enough to spread around.But, if you really have to wait for someone else to be your sunshine, your good feelings, then you might wait for a long time.Now is the time to be of good cheer, this very moment.Don’t wait for anyone else to determine your mood.You have completely control4 of your own disposition5.You have the choice.There is no other way.Your present moment of good cheer will carry you to the next, and you will be in control of that moment also.You are worth6 having good.Go for it!

相信會有一個人把陽光帶進你的生活中是可以的。那個人也許會有足夠的東西去四處傳播。但是,如果你真的要等別人帶給你陽光,帶給你美好的感受,那你也許要等上很長的時間。

現(xiàn)在是時候歡呼了,就在這一刻。不要等待別人來左右你的情緒。你可以完全控制你的性情。你有這個選擇。沒有其他別的辦法。

你這一刻的歡呼會帶你走到下一刻,你也將會把握住那一刻。你值得擁有美好的事物。去爭取吧！

追隨你的夢想 follow your dream

Catch the star that holds your destiny, the one that forever twinkles within your heart.Take advantage of precious opportunities while they still sparkle before you.Always believe that your ultimate goal is attainable as long as you commit yourself to it.Though barriers may sometimes stand in the way of your dreams, remember that your destiny is hiding behind them.Accept the fact that not everyone is going to approve of the choices you’ve made, have faith in your judgment, catch the star that twinkles in your heart, and it will lead you to your destiny’s duanwenw.com path.Follow that pathway and uncover the sweet sunrises that await you.Take pride in your accomplishments, as they are stepping stones to your dreams.Understand that you may make mistakes, but don’t let them discourage you.Value your capabilities and talents for they are what make you truly unique.The greatest gifts in life are not purchased, but acquired through hard work and determination.追隨能夠改變你命運的那顆星，那顆永遠在你心中閃爍的明星。當它在你面前閃耀時，抓住這寶貴的機會。請謹記，只要你堅持不懈，最終的目標總能實現(xiàn)。

盡管實現(xiàn)夢想的途中有時會遇到障礙，要知道這是命運對你的挑戰(zhàn)。不是每個人都會贊成你的選擇，接受這個現(xiàn)實，并相信自我的判斷，追隨那顆在你心中閃爍的明星，它會引領你踏上命運的征途。堅持不懈，你就能享受那些幸福時刻。

每前進一步，你都應引以為豪，因為它們是你實現(xiàn)夢想的階梯。要知道在這個過程中你也許會犯錯誤，但不要氣餒。珍視自我的潛能，因為它們使你獨一無二。生命中最珍貴的禮物不是花錢買來的，而是通過努力和決心而獲取的。

第三篇：英語演講小短文

英語演講小短文(2分鐘的）

As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind.Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food.Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity.Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment.Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.Once learning stops, vegetation sets in.It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge.On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave.With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind.What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character.Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.學習之于心靈，就像食物之于身體一樣。攝取了適量的營養(yǎng)食物，我們的身體得以生長而肌肉得以發(fā)達。同樣地，我們應該日復一日不斷地學習以保持我們敏銳的心智能力，并擴充我們的智力容量。不斷的學習提供我們用不盡的燃料，來驅使我們磨利我們的推理、分析和判斷的能力。持續(xù)的學習是在信息時代中跟時代并駕齊驅的最穩(wěn)當?shù)姆椒?，也是在變動的世代中成功的可靠保證。

一旦學習停止，單調貧乏的生活就開始了。視學校為汲取知識的唯一場所是種常見的謬誤。相反地，學習應該是一種無終止的歷程，從生到死。由于世界一直快速地在變動，只要學習停頓數(shù)日就將使人落后。更糟的是，蟄伏在我們潛意識深處的獸性本能就會復活，削弱我們追求高貴理想的意志，弱化我們掃除成功障礙的決心，而且扼殺我們凈化我們人格的欲望。缺少學習將不可避免地導致心靈的停滯，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。因此，為了保持心理年輕，我們必須將學習當作一生的事業(yè)。

2．heavy schoolwork【課業(yè)繁重】

In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy.While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults.High should be allowed more time for play.Playing is not wasting time, as some think.It gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination.Which tends to be stifled by too much study.Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally.I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork.I do think, however, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.我認為目前高中生的課業(yè)實在太重了，雖然說學生的確應當念書，但是要想長大成為健全的人，他門還需要一些其它的東西，所以應該給高中生較多從事娛樂的時間。娛樂并不如某些人所想的，是在浪費時間，它可以讓學生鍛煉身體，發(fā)揮被繁重課業(yè)扼殺的想象力。此外，繁重的課業(yè)加諸在高中生身上的壓力可能引起嚴重的情緒緊張，這對身心都有害。我并非主張廢除學校課業(yè)，但是我認為減輕目前繁重的課業(yè)對于學生和整個社會都是有益的。

3．Time【時間】

Lost time is never found again.This is something which I learned very clearly last semester.I spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer.I finally realized that something had to be done.It was time for a change.Now I have a new plan for using my time wisely.I have set my alarm clock ahead half an hour.This will give me a head start on the day.I have also decided to keep a log of what I do and when I do it.Looking back on what I’ve done will give me some ideas on how to reorganize my time.時光一去不復返，這是我上學期清楚學到的教訓。我浪費很多時間四處游蕩，以致于我的成績開始退步。最后我終于了解到我必須有所作為；該是痛改前非的時候了。

現(xiàn)在我有一個明智運用時間的新方法。我已將鬧鐘早撥半小時，這將使我這一天的作息提前開始。我也決定將我所做的一切及做這些事的時間記錄下來?；仡櫸宜龅氖虑闀l(fā)我如何重新安排我的時間。

4．Work and Play【工作與娛樂】

Work and play do not contradict each other;in fact, they complement each other.As the saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work.On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions.What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies.Usually I don't spare time for exercise, but I value the physical education class at school.Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure.On weekends, I'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment.I feel revived and energetic for another week's work-load.工作與娛樂并不互相沖突，事實上，它們之間的關系還相輔相成。有句格言說：「整日工作而沒有休閑娛樂，會令人變得沉悶乏味?！贡还ぷ髦負鷫旱么贿^氣來的生活，將使你一事無成，因為你將對一成不變的例行公事感到厭煩。由另一方面來說，適度的娛樂活動能提供各種管道，來渲泄你被壓抑的情緒，減輕單調生活中的緊張與不悅。

放學之后，我最常做的休閑活動，便是慢跑與看電影。通常我并不特地撥出時間來做運動，但是我很重視學校的體育課。在操場上慢跑幾圈，無疑地可以減輕一天的壓力。在周末時，我都去看早場電影，享受視覺饗宴。如此一來，我將有如再生般的充沛活力，去面對下一星期的工作量。

5．My first Job【我的第一份工作】

My first job was at a cramming school.It was three years ago when I just graduated from junior high school and finished the entrance examination.since I had nothing to do that summer, I decided to find a job, tasting the joy of independence.I was responsible for answering the telephone and taking the message.I worked eight hours a day, six days a week.The work was not difficult nor heavy to me and I guess I did well.The most delighted thing was perhaps that I could spend the money I earned all by myself.我的第一份工作是在一家補習班做事。那是三年前我剛從國中畢業(yè)，考完聯(lián)考時的事了。既然我那整個夏天都閑著沒事，倒不如找份差事，嘗嘗獨立賺錢的快樂。

我負責接聽電話且紀錄留言的工作。我一天工作八小時，一星期工作六天。那份工作對我而言既不困難亦不沉重，所以我想我還滿稱職的。而最令人快樂的事大概莫過于花全部由自己賺來的錢了！

6．My Favorite Sports【我最喜愛的運動】

Sports help everyone to keep healthy, happy, and efficient.So I pay special attention to games, especially table-tennis.Table tennis is my favorite game.I play it almost every day.Table-tennis is an ideal game us because it brings the whole body into action.It strengthens our muscles, expands our lungs, promotes the circulation of the blood, and causes a healthy action of the skin.Besides, it is very amusing and does not cost us much money.Table-tennis is very moderate;it is not so rough as football.It is an indoor game and can be played even on rainy days.Thus, it is my favorite kind of exercise.運動能幫助每一個人保持健康、快樂和有效率。所以我特別重視運動，特別是桌球，桌球是我最喜歡的運動。我?guī)缀趺刻焱妗?/p>

桌球對我們而言，是一項理想的運動，因為它可以使我們全身運動，它可以增強我們的肌肉，擴張我們的肺部，促進血液循環(huán)，并且使肌膚產生健康作用，此外，它很有趣而且所費不多。桌球是相當溫和適中的，它不像足球那么粗野。它是一種室內運動，甚至在下雨天也能玩。因此，桌球是我最喜愛的一種運動。

One day, a father and his little son were going home.At this age, the boy was interested in all kinds of things and was always asking questions.Now, he asked, “What's the meaning of the word 'Drunk', dad?” “Well, my son,” his father replied, “l(fā)ook, there are standing two policemen.If I regard the two policemen as four then I am drunk.” “But, dad,” the boy said, “ there's only ONE policeman!”

醉酒

一天，父親與小兒子一道回家。這個孩子正處于那種對什么事都很感興趣的年齡，老是有提不完的問題。他向父親發(fā)問道：“爸爸，‘醉’字是什么意思？” “唔，孩子，”父親回答說，“你瞧那兒站著兩個警察。如果我把他們看成了四個，那么我就算醉了。” “可是，爸爸，”孩子說，“那兒只有一個警察呀！”

Is Failure a Bad Thing Failure is a common thing in our daily life.As students, we sometimes fail to get high scores in our exams.When we play games, we might be beaten by others.And there are times when we fail to do work well.All these failures happen naturally and almost every one of us has such experiences.However, there are different attitudes towards failure.Some people lose heart when they fail;they think the world is at its end.Some people don?t take failure seriously but just let it be, while some others learn much from failure, and therefore see the light of hope through failure.In my opinion, what is really important is not failure itself, but what we think of failure and what we do after failure.As long as we don?t give up, keeping believing in ourselves, and at the same time learn something from failure, we?ll certainly make our mark in the end.So I am never afraid of failure, for I believe that failure is not a bad thing.Rather, “Failure is the mother of success.”

失敗是壞事嗎 失敗在我們的日常生活中很常見。作為學生，我們有時在考試中得不到高分。在我們和其他人比賽時，有時會輸。還有的時候，我們總做不好事情。所有這些失敗都很自然，我們每一個人都有類似的經歷。然而，面對失敗人們的態(tài)度卻截然不同。一些人失敗后變得灰心喪氣，似乎世界末日到了；一些人不拿失敗當回事兒，聽之任之；還有一些人卻從失敗中學習東西，從而從失敗中能看到希望。在我看來，重要的不是失敗本身，而是我們對待失敗的態(tài)度和失敗之后我們的行動。只要我們不放棄，相信自己，并從失敗中汲取營養(yǎng)，我們最后一定會取得勝利。因此，我從不害怕失敗，因為我相信失敗并不是壞事。相反，“失敗是成功之母”。

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree.A little boy loved to come and play around it every day.He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow… He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.Time went by…The little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree.One day, the boy came back to the tree and looked sad.“Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy.“I am no longer a kid, I don?t play around trees anymore.” The boy replied, “I want toys.I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, but I don?t have money…but you can pick all my apples and sell them.So, you will have money.” The boy was so excited.He picked all the apples on the tree and left happily.The boy didn?t come back after he picked the apples.The tree was sad.One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited.“Come and play with me.” The tree said.“I don?t have time to play.I have to work for my family.We need a house for shelter.Can you help me?” “Sorry, but I don?t have a house.But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn?t appear since then.The tree was again lonely and sad.One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted.“Come and play with me!” the tree said.“I am sad and getting old.I want to go sailing to relax myself.Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build the boat.You can sail and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat.He went sailing and did not show up for a long time.Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years.“Sorry, my boy.But I don?t have anything for you anymore.No more apples for you.” the tree said.“ I don?t have teeth to bite.” The boy replied.“ No more trunk for you to climb on.” “I am too old for that now.” the boy said.“I really want to give you something…the only thing left is my dying roots.” The tree said with tears.“I don?t need much now, just a place to rest.I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied.“Good!Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest.Come here, please sit down with me and have a rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears…

This is a story of everyone.The tree is our parent.When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad… When we grow up, we leave them, and only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble.No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy.You may think that the boy is cruel to the tree but that's how all of us are treating our parents.很久以前有一棵蘋果樹。一個小男孩每天都喜歡來到樹旁玩耍。他爬到樹頂，吃蘋果，在樹蔭里打盹……他愛這棵樹，樹也愛和他一起玩。

隨著時間的流逝，小男孩長大了。他不再到樹旁玩耍了。

一天，男孩回到樹旁，看起來很悲傷?！皝砗臀彝姘?！”樹說。

“我不再是小孩了，我不會再到樹下玩耍了。”男孩答到，“我想要玩具，我需要錢來買?！?/p>

“很遺憾，我沒有錢……但是你可以采摘我的所有蘋果拿去賣。這樣你就有錢了?！蹦泻⒑芘d奮。他摘掉樹上所有的蘋果，然后高興地離開了。自從那以后男孩沒有回來。樹很傷心。

一天，男孩回來了，樹非常興奮。“來和我玩吧?！睒湔f?！拔覜]有時間玩。我得為我的家庭工作。我們需要一個房子來遮風擋雨，你能幫我嗎？”很遺憾，我沒有房子。但是，你可以砍下我的樹枝來建房。“因此，男孩砍下所有的樹枝，高高興興地離開了。

看到他高興，樹也很高興。但是，自從那時起男孩沒再出現(xiàn)，樹有孤獨，傷心起來。

突然，在一個夏日，男孩回到樹旁，樹很高興?！皝砗臀彝姘?！”樹說。

“我很傷心，我開始老了。我想去航海放松自己。你能不能給我一條船？” “用我的樹干去造一條船，你就能航海了，你會高興的?！庇谑牵泻⒖车箻涓扇ピ齑?。他航海去了，很長一段時間未露面。

許多年后男孩終于回來了。“很遺憾，我的孩子，我再也沒有任何東西可以給你了。沒有蘋果給你……”樹說?！拔覜]有牙齒啃?！?男孩答到?！皼]有樹干供你爬?！薄艾F(xiàn)在我老了，爬不上去了?！?男孩說。“我真的想把一切都給你……我唯一剩下的東西是快要死去的樹墩?！?樹含著眼淚說?！艾F(xiàn)在，我不需要什么東西，只需要一個地方來休息。經過了這些年我太累了?！蹦泻⒋鸬健！疤昧耍±蠘涠站褪且兄菹⒌淖詈玫胤?。過來，和我一起坐下休息吧?！?男孩坐下了，樹很高興，含淚而笑……

這是一個發(fā)生在每一個人身上的故事。那棵樹就像我們的父母。我們小的時候，喜歡和爸爸媽媽玩……長大后，便離開他們，只有在我們需要父母親，或是遇到了困難的時候，才會回去找他們。盡管如此，父母卻總是有求必應，為了我們的幸福，無私地奉獻自己的一切。你也許覺得那個男孩很殘忍，但我們何嘗不是這樣呢？

美國總統(tǒng)林肯所作的著名的蓋茨堡演說

Gettysburg Address

Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.We are met on a great battlefield of that war.We have come to dedicate a portion of the field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live.It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground.The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract.The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us,----that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion,----that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain,----that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom,----and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.英語演講開場方式欣賞

Today I come to Oslo as a trustee, inspired and with renewed dedication to humanity;I accept this prize on behalf of all men who loved peace and brotherhood.I say I come as a trustee, for in the depths of my heart I am aware that this prize is much more than an honor to me personally.今天，我以受托人的身份來到奧斯陸，心情激動，充滿了獻身人類的新勇氣。我代表所有熱愛和平與兄弟情誼的人們接受這個獎。我之所以以受托人的身份來到這里，是因為，在我的內心深處，我意識到這個獎決不僅僅是我個人的榮譽。

The road of history is not level and smooth all along.Sometimes the path will come to a dangerous and difficult place.It is only with the valiant and gallant spirit of the travelers that it can be passed through.The vast and mighty Yangtzi River, when it comes to an endless, broad plain, will flow ten thousand miles in a rapid current.But as it reaches a narrow valley with high ranges of mountains, cliffs and precipices on both sides, which look dangerously steep, the river has to force its way through them in a winding, tortuous course.The same is the case with the developing course of a nation's history.The history of human race is like going on a journey.Some of the places the traveler passes through are smooth and level pianos, and others are dangerous and rugged paths.The experienced travelers, when they moved on to a broad, level road, will naturally walk along with a light heart, but while they are passing through a rugged place they will all the more be seized with curiosity, and in such an extremely fantastic and magnificent realm, will all the more feel a sort of pleasure in an adventure.歷史的道路，不總是平坦的，有時會變得艱難險阻。這只能靠英勇無畏的精神才能夠沖過去。

一條浩浩蕩蕩的長江大河，有時流到很寬闊的境界，一望無際，一瀉千里。有時流到很逼狹的境界，兩岸叢山疊嶺，絕壁斷崖，江河流于其間，曲折迂回，極為險峻。民族生命的進展，其歷程亦復如是。

人類在歷史上的生活正如旅行一樣。旅途上的征人所經過的地方有時是坦蕩平原，有時是崎嶇險路。老于旅途的人，走到平坦的地方固是高高興興地向前走，走到崎嶇的境界，愈是奇趣橫生，覺得在此奇艷壯絕的境界，愈能感得一種冒險的美趣。

My fellow and my friends;Once I read a piece of news report.It says, “A middle school student in a remote mountainous area was doing his revision at home one day.His brother, whose age excelled school age, was playing and drawing on the paper with his elder brother's pencil at his side.Suddenly the younger brother raised his head thoughtfully, his little eyes were winking, and said to his brother seriously, ”When will it thirty-second, brother?“ The elder brother looked at his innocent younger brother and said with a smile, ”What are you going to do on that thirty-second?“ ”Papa promised me to send me to school,“ said his younger brother.His brother, the middle school student looked at his lovely brother and his heart seemed to be stitched with needles.My God!My parents were working day and night in order to be able to afford my schooling.They were exhausted.How could they afford my younger brother's schooling? Oh, thirty-second...My dear friends, hearing this, didn't you feel sorry for them? We share the same native land, the same blue sky under the sun.Why cannot they be given lesson at school, sitting in the bright and big classroom? We are used to saying that education goes first before vitalizing the country.But now the country's fiscal solvency and material resources are not ample enough.What should we do? It requires that we should be of one heart and exert our efforts for our motherland.同胞們，朋友們：

我曾看過這樣一則報道：”某邊遠山區(qū)一個中學生，一天在家復習功課，一旁的已過入學年齡的小弟弟拿他的鉛筆在紙上寫著、涂著、畫著，突然若有所思地仰起小臉，眨巴幾下小眼睛，認真地問：'哥哥，什么時候才到32號呀？'這位中學生看看天真的小弟弟，笑著逗他：'32號你要干啥？''爸爸說，到32號才能送我去上學。'中學生望著可愛的小弟弟，內心針扎般難受：天哪，父母為了供自己上學，整日操勞，身體都累垮了，哪還有能力再送弟弟上學？??！32號......"

朋友們，當你聽了這個故事，你不感到痛心嗎？同在一片故土上，同在一片藍天下，為什么他們不能坐在寬敞明亮的教室里去讀書？我們常說：國家要振興，教育須先行。而我國的財力、物力都不寬裕，怎么辦？這就需要全社會的人齊心協(xié)力為國家分憂，為國家出力！

第四篇：英語演講小短文

Heavy schoolwork【課業(yè)繁重】

In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy.While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults.High should be allowed more time for play.Playing is not wasting time, as some think.It gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination.Which tends to be stifled by too much study.Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally.I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork.I do think, however, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.我認為目前高中生的課業(yè)實在太重了，雖然說學生的確應當念書，但是要想長大成為健全的人，他門還需要一些其它的東西，所以應該給高中生較多從事娛樂的時間。娛樂并不如某些人所想的，是在浪費時間，它可以讓學生鍛煉身體，發(fā)揮被繁重課業(yè)扼殺的想象力。此外，繁重的課業(yè)加諸在高中生身上的壓力可能引起嚴重的情緒緊張，這對身心都有害。我并非主張廢除學校課業(yè)，但是我認為減輕目前繁重的課業(yè)對于學生和整個社會都是有益的。

Time【時間】

Lost time is never found again.This is something which I learned very clearly last semester.I spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer.I finally realized that something had to be done.It was time for a change.Now I have a new plan for using my time wisely.I have set my alarm clock ahead half an hour.This will give me a head start on the day.I have also decided to keep a log of what I do and when I do it.Looking back on what I’ve done will give me some ideas on how to reorganize my time.時光一去不復返，這是我上學期清楚學到的教訓。我浪費很多時間四處游蕩，以致于我的成績開始退步。最后我終于了解到我必須有所作為；該是痛改前非的時候了。

現(xiàn)在我有一個明智運用時間的新方法。我已將鬧鐘早撥半小時，這將使我這一天的作息提前開始。我也決定將我所做的一切及做這些事的時間記錄下來?；仡櫸宜龅氖虑闀l(fā)我如何重新安排我的時間。

Work and Play【工作與娛樂】

Work and play do not contradict each other;in fact, they complement each other.As the saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work.On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions.What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies.Usually I don't spare time for exercise, but I value the physical education class at school.Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure.On weekends, I'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment.I feel revived and energetic for another week's work-load.工作與娛樂并不互相沖突，事實上，它們之間的關系還相輔相成。有句格言說：「整日工作而沒有休閑娛樂，會令人變得沉悶乏味?！贡还ぷ髦負鷫旱么贿^氣來的生活，將使你一事無成，因為你將對一成不變的例行公事感到厭煩。由另一方面來說，適度的娛樂活動能提供各種管道，來渲泄你被壓抑的情緒，減輕單調生活中的緊張與不悅。

放學之后，我最常做的休閑活動，便是慢跑與看電影。通常我并不特地撥出時間來做運動，但是我很重視學校的體育課。在操場上慢跑幾圈，無疑地可以減輕一天的壓力。在周末時，我都去看早場電影，享受視覺饗宴。如此一來，我將有如再生般的充沛活力，去面對下一星期的工作量。

My first Job【我的第一份工作】

My first job was at a cramming school.It was three years ago when I just graduated from junior high school and finished the entrance examination.since I had nothing to do that summer, I decided to find a job, tasting the joy of independence.I was responsible for answering the telephone and taking the message.I worked eight hours a day, six days a week.The work was not difficult nor heavy to me and I guess I did well.The most delighted thing was perhaps that I could spend the money I earned all by myself.我的第一份工作是在一家補習班做事。那是三年前我剛從國中畢業(yè)，考完聯(lián)考時的事了。既然我那整個夏天都閑著沒事，倒不如找份差事，嘗嘗獨立賺錢的快樂。

我負責接聽電話且紀錄留言的工作。我一天工作八小時，一星期工作六天。那份工作對我而言既不困難亦不沉重，所以我想我還滿稱職的。而最令人快樂的事大概莫過于花全部由自己賺來的錢了！

My Favorite Sports【我最喜愛的運動】

Sports help everyone to keep healthy, happy, and efficient.So I pay special attention to games, especially table-tennis.Table tennis is my favorite game.I play it almost every day.Table-tennis is an ideal game us because it brings the whole body into action.It strengthens our muscles, expands our lungs, promotes the circulation of the blood, and causes a healthy action of the skin.Besides, it is very amusing and does not cost us much money.Table-tennis is very moderate;it is not so rough as football.It is an indoor game and can be played even on rainy days.Thus, it is my favorite kind of exercise.運動能幫助每一個人保持健康、快樂和有效率。所以我特別重視運動，特別是桌球，桌球是我最喜歡的運動。我?guī)缀趺刻焱妗?/p>

桌球對我們而言，是一項理想的運動，因為它可以使我們全身運動，它可以增強我們的肌肉，擴張我們的肺部，促進血液循環(huán)，并且使肌膚產生健康作用，此外，它很有趣而且所費不多。桌球是相當溫和適中的，它不像足球那么粗野。它是一種室內運動，甚至在下雨天也能玩。因此，桌球是我最喜愛的一種運動。

Keep learning【保持學習】

As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind.Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food.Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity.Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment.Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.Once learning stops, vegetation sets in.It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge.On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave.With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind.What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire

for the refinement of our character.Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.學習之于心靈，就像食物之于身體一樣。攝取了適量的營養(yǎng)食物，我們的身體得以生長而肌肉得以發(fā)達。同樣地，我們應該日復一日不斷地學習以保持我們敏銳的心智能力，并擴充我們的智力容量。不斷的學習提供我們用不盡的燃料，來驅使我們磨利我們的推理、分析和判斷的能力。持續(xù)的學習是在信息時代中跟時代并駕齊驅的最穩(wěn)當?shù)姆椒?，也是在變動的世代中成功的可靠保證。

一旦學習停止，單調貧乏的生活就開始了。視學校為汲取知識的唯一場所是種常見的謬誤。相反地，學習應該是一種無終止的歷程，從生到死。由于世界一直快速地在變動，只要學習停頓數(shù)日就將使人落后。更糟的是，蟄伏在我們潛意識深處的獸性本能就會復活，削弱我們追求高貴理想的意志，弱化我們掃除成功障礙的決心，而且扼殺我們凈化我們人格的欲望。缺少學習將不可避免地導致心靈的停滯，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。因此，為了保持心理年輕，我們必須將學習當作一生的事業(yè)。

一旦學習停止，單調貧乏的生活就開始了。視學校為汲取知識的唯一場所是種常見的謬誤。相反地，學習應該是一種無終止的歷程，從生到死。由于世界一直快速地在變動，只要學習停頓數(shù)日就將使人落后。更糟的是，蟄伏在我們潛意識深處的獸性本能就會復活，削弱我們追求高貴理想的意志，弱化我們掃除成功障礙的決心，而且扼殺我們凈化我們人格的欲望。缺少學習將不可避免地導致心靈的停滯，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。因此，為了保持心理年輕，我們必須將學習當作一生的事業(yè)。2．heavy schoolwork【課業(yè)繁重】

in my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy.while it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults.high should be allowed more time for play.playing is not wasting time, as some think.it gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination.which tends to be stifled by too much study.finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally.i do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork.i do think, however, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.我認為目前高中生的課業(yè)實在太重了，雖然說學生的確應當念書，但是要想長大成為健全的人，他門還需要一些其它的東西，所以應該給高中生較多從事娛樂的時間。娛樂并不如某些人所想的，是在浪費時間，它可以讓學生鍛煉身體，發(fā)揮被繁重課業(yè)扼殺的想象力。此外，繁重的課業(yè)加諸在高中生身上的壓力可能引起嚴重的情緒緊張，這對身心都有害。我并非主張廢除學校課業(yè)，但是我認為減輕目前繁重的課業(yè)對于學生和整個社會都是有益的。3．time【時間】

lost time is never found again.this is something which i learned very clearly last semester.i spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer.i finally realized that something had to be done.it was time for a change.now i have a new plan for using my time wisely.i have set my alarm clock ahead half an hour.this will give me a head start on the day.i have also decided to keep a log of what i do and when i do it.looking back on what i’ve done will give me some ideas on how to reorganize my time.時光一去不復返，這是我上學期清楚學到的教訓。我浪費很多時間四處游蕩，以致于我的成績開始退步。最后我終于了解到我必須有所作為；該是痛改前非的時候了。

現(xiàn)在我有一個明智運用時間的新方法。我已將鬧鐘早撥半小時，這將使我這一天的作息提前開始。我也決定將我所做的一切及做這些事的時間記錄下來?；仡櫸宜龅氖虑闀l(fā)我如何重新安排我的時間。

4．work and play【工作與娛樂】

what i usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies.usually i dont spare time for exercise, but i value the physical education class at school.jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the days pressure.on weekends, ill catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment.i feel revived and energetic for another weeks work-load.工作與娛樂并不互相沖突，事實上，它們之間的關系還相輔相成。有句格言說：「整日工作而沒有休閑娛樂，會令人變得沉悶乏味?！贡还ぷ髦負鷫旱么贿^氣來的生活，將使你一事無成，因為你將對一成不變的例行公事感到厭煩。由另一方面來說，適度的娛樂活動能提供各種管道，來渲泄你被壓抑的情緒，減輕單調生活中的緊張與不悅。

放學之后，我最常做的休閑活動，便是慢跑與看電影。通常我并不特地撥出時間來做運動，但是我很重視學校的體育課。在操場上慢跑幾圈，無疑地可以減輕一天的壓力。在周末時，我都去看早場電影，享受視覺饗宴。如此一來，我將有如再生般的充沛活力，去面對下一星期的工作量。

6．my favorite sports【我最喜愛的運動】

sports help everyone to keep healthy, happy, and efficient.so i pay special attention to games, especially table-tennis.table tennis is my favorite game.i play it almost every day.table-tennis is an ideal game us because it brings the whole body into action.it strengthens our muscles, expands our lungs, promotes the circulation of the blood, and causes a healthy action of the skin.besides, it is very amusing and does not cost us much money.table-tennis is very moderate;it is not so rough as football.it is an indoor game and can be played even on rainy days.thus, it is my favorite kind of exercise.運動能幫助每一個人保持健康、快樂和有效率。所以我特別重視運動，特別是桌球，桌球是我最喜歡的運動。我?guī)缀趺刻焱妗?/p>

桌球對我們而言，是一項理想的運動，因為它可以使我們全身運動，它可以增強我們的肌肉，擴張我們的肺部，促進血液循環(huán)，并且使肌膚產生健康作用，此外，它很有趣而且所費不多。桌球是相當溫和適中的，它不像足球那么粗野。它是一種室內運動，甚至在下雨天也能玩。因此，桌球是我最喜愛的一種運動。篇三：幽默英語演講小短文(2分鐘的)as food is to the body, so is learning to the mind.our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food.likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity.constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment.learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.學習之于心靈，就像食物之于身體一樣。攝取了適量的營養(yǎng)食物，我們的身體得以生長而肌肉得以發(fā)達。同樣地，我們應該日復一日不斷地學習以保持我們敏銳的心智能力，并擴充我們的智力容量。不斷的學習提供我們用不盡的燃料，來驅使我們磨利我們的推理、分析和判斷的能力。持續(xù)的學習是在信息時代中跟時代并駕齊驅的最穩(wěn)當?shù)姆椒?，也是在變動的世代中成功的可靠保證。一旦學習停止，單調貧乏的生活就開始了。視學校為汲取知識的唯一場所是種常見的謬誤。相反地，學習應該是一種無終止的歷程，從生到死。由于世界一直快速地在變動，只要學習停頓數(shù)日就將使人落后。更糟的是，蟄伏在我們潛意識深處的獸性本能就會復活，削弱我們追求高貴理想的意志，弱化我們掃除成功障礙的決心，而且扼殺我們凈化我們人格的欲望。缺少學習將不可避免地導致心靈的停滯，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。因此，為了保持心理年輕，我們必須將學習當作一生的事業(yè)。2．heavy schoolwork【課業(yè)繁重】
