第一篇：English 演講稿

珍惜現(xiàn)在Often we're told that we have to suffer now — give up what we want — in order to succeed later, that in order to save we must sacrifice.Give up instant gratification to get delayed gratification.But you can do both.For years, I was confused about this, as I read books and websites that sent me two different messages:

Pleasure later.The first message was that in order to be successful, in order to build wealth, you have to delay gratification.You can't have instant gratification and be successful.Pleasure now.The second message was usually from other sources on Happiness, but sometimes from the same source: enjoy life now, while you can, because it's short and you never know when your last day will come.Live every day like it's your last.Trouble is, I agree with both messages.And if you read this site often, you’ll see that I send both messages: Live frugally and simply!But also enjoy life!

That's because I've reconciled the two philosophies into one: Live life now and enjoy it to the fullest — without destroying your future.The key to doing that? Find ways to enjoy life completely, utterly, maximally … that don’t cost your future very much.Here are some tips for actually living that philosophy:

Find free or cheap pleasures.Frugality does not have to be boring or restrictive … if you use your imagination.Be creative and find ways to have fun — loads of it — without spending much money.Have a picnic at the park, go to the beach, do crafts, board games, fly a kite, make art, bake cookies … I could list a hundred things, and you could come up with a few hundred more.Make a list of simple pleasures, and enjoy them to the maximum.This is the key to the whole idea of enjoying life now without spending tomorrow's dollar.See Savor the Little Things.Make simplifying fun.I'm a big fan of simplifying my life, from decluttering to creating a simple lifestyle in every way.And to me, this is great fun.I get rid of stuff(and possibly make money selling it)and have a blast doing it.That’s good math.Rediscover what’s important.Oftentimes we spend tons of money, shopping, going out, watching movies, eating out … without really enjoying life.And when we stop to think about it, we never have time for the things we really want to do.Well, that's probably because your life is filled with things that aren't very important to you.Instead, step back and really think about what’s important to you.Then get rid of the other(expensive)stuff, and focus on what's important.Listen to some stuff on my list: my wife and kids, other friends and family, reading, writing, exercising, volunteering, spending quiet time in contemplation.Guess how many of those things cost a lot of money? Read more here.Make people a priority.This is related to the above point, but I thought I'd give it a little more emphasis.If you give “stuff” a priority — stuff like gadgets, nice furnishings, nice clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc.— then you will spend a lot of money.But if you make people a priority — the people you love most, you close friends and family — you don't need to spend a dime to enjoy life.Make some time to visit with friends, or your parents … and have a conversation with them that doesn't involve eating out or going to the movies.Just sit, have some iced tea or hot cocoa(depending on the weather), and talk.Tell jokes and laugh your heads off.Talk about books you've read, movies you’ve watched, new things going on in your life, your hopes and dreams.And make time for your kids or your significant other — really spend time with them, doing things that don't cost money.(See Spend Time with Family and Loved Ones , 100 Ways to Have Fun With Your Kids and 50 Ways to Be Romantic on the Cheap.)

Find time for yourself.Make time every day, and every week, to spend time alone.It really gives more meaning and enjoyment to your life, rather than rushing through life with no time to think, to breathe.For ideas on how to make this time, see these ways to create time for solitude.Sometimes, splurge.You shouldn't restrict yourself from expensive pleasures all the time — it's not good to develop the feeling of

deprivation.To prevent that, once in awhile, buy yourself something … or better yet, give yourself a decadent treat.I love things with dark chocolate or berries.Crepes with ice cream and berries are one of my favorites.Just don't go overboard … and learn to enjoy the splurge to the fullest.If you truly take the time to enjoy a treat, you don't need a lot of it.Track your successes.It doesn't really matter how you track your success … you can use gold stars for creating a new simplifying or frugalfying habit, or a spreadsheet chart to track your decreasing debt and increasing savings or investments.Tracking is a great way to not only provide motivation, but make the process of changing fun.Reward yourself.And in order to make it more fun, celebrate every little success!Set rewards for yourself(hopefully not too expensive!)along your path to success — celebrate one day, two days, three days, a week, two weeks, three, a month … you get the idea.Volunteer.One of the most rewarding things for my family has been when we have managed to volunteer.It's actually something we only started doing last year, but since then, we've done it a bunch of times in a number of different ways.And while it doesn't cost a dime, it is tremendously satisfying in ways that money could never buy.Read more.Live in the moment.Learn to think not so much about the past or future, but about what you are going through right now.Be present.It may seem trite, but it's the key to enjoying life to the fullest — without having to spend money.Think about it — you can spend money on eating out, but if you are not really thinking about what you're eating, you may not enjoy it much at all.But if you cook a simple but delicious meal, and really taste every bite, it can be tremendously enjoyable without costing a lot.Read more.Slow down.In the same way, you can't really enjoy life to the fullest if it's rushing past you like it's on fast forward.Ever think about how quickly a week, a month, or a year goes by? Perhaps you're in the fast lane too much.Try slowing down, and things will be less stressful and more enjoyable.Drive slower , eat slower , live slower.Learn to find cheap, cool stuff.Call me crazy, but I love shopping at thrift stores.You can find so many cool things there, and it costs so little.Garage sales are the same way.Or check out Freecycle , or read 20 Ways to Find Free or Cheap Books.

第三篇：The story of English演講稿

The story of English

Good morning(or afternoon)my dear classmates, this is Su Huiting, and I am honored to stand here to share my story with you all today.As we all know a language is product of history and civilization, so what I am gonna tell is the story of English, hoping you will like it.United Kingdom history is very much on history of alien conquerors;similarly, English is the language of foreign conquerors to a large extent.The first owner of the island of Britain, was from the Celtic on continental Europe, and they spoke Celtic languages.And in the 2nd century AD, Roman came in Britain, they spoke Latin.And at that time, English did not exist yet

Until the 5th century, Roman withdrew the British Island while

Anglo-Saxon Germanic people landed in, and told them the Anglo-Saxon languages, which is the origin of the modern English.This means that English appeared, though known as old English, closer to Germanic languages.However, Anglo-Saxon man was the barbarians, and their language was relatively simple, not delicate.It was in 597 when Pope decided to send priests to go to Britain to establish the Church , which made United

Kingdom civilization greatly enhanced.On influence of the exquisite Latin, the two quickly fused together.This was a major event in English history

Well then, Christianity came to Britain in the late 6th century AD, which was another great event in English history, marked that English began to be influenced by Latin.And this was the first cultural invasion;From 793 AD, the Viking started invading Britain.On the Arrival of the Vikings, English was strongly influenced by Nordic language until the medium term of the 9th century.Then, there came the third invasion in 1066, when the Normandy Duke of France invaded Britain, and eventually managed to control a United Kingdom, becoming William the 1st.He cleaned the United Kingdom's Imperial Court and the Church, with all the

important positions held by the French, and they all spoke French.And it is said that invasion of the French influence English greater than any other event in English history.As a matter of fact, in the following 200 years and even more, the United Kingdom social language situation was like this: Government and aristocracy spoke French, Latin was enjoyed by religious and cultural undertakings, and the underlying people continued in English.Even today, it is still fashionable for the British to speak a little French

But how did English survived？I wondered

The reason why English survive and eventually replaced the French position in the situation that the upper community is French-speaking and Latin-speaking, are as follows:

First of all, before the Norman Conquest, the old English had been established both in speaking and writing among the people.It was easy to

record in Latin and French but hard to forbidden English being spoken among the populace.Actually speaking, it was clear that British people will not be willing to keep away from English just because of a foreigner’s dominating

Secondly, the Normans began to marry the local people almost immediately when they arrived.As you can imagine a scenario where a small Norman Knights lived in a small Manor in the country, people around him, say, farmers, maids, butler who kept his estate, were all british, how could he survive and manage his peoplewithout speaking a little English?

The third reason, which was perhaps the most important one, that is, in 1204, because of the reckless, the King's military failed to continue controlling Normandy.Many of those norman nobles who owned lands and position in both countries were obliged to decide their allegiance to France or to the United Kingdom.Until about the early 13th century, United Kingdom began to appear in the official documents of English words.At the end of 13th century, King Edward the 1st began to incite the public against the law, status of English was solided further.With the war in1337-1454 between United Kingdom and France occurred, it was a great stimulus to choose English or French for the people.Besides, there emerged a mysterious disease named “black death” at the same time and it caused so many deaths in monasteries and churches that a new generation of semi-education and functionally

illiterate, who could not speak French and Latin, had totake over their predecessors.After the black death, school students began using English rather than French to explain their lessons.At this time, English has begun to appear in all levels of society.In 1356, the Mayor of London ordered, the Court applied English.In 1362, the Parliament announced to hold meetings in English.And in 1381, Richard the 2ed spoke to farmers in English.Thus, Status of English established and last then

That’s my story.Thanks, for your listening.Thank you ^^

大致中文意思：

讀了那么多年的英語，由此對英語語言的形成發(fā)展史第一次產(chǎn)生了濃厚的興趣，英國是一個海島。英國的歷史很大程度上就是外來征服者的歷史；同樣的，英語很大程度上也就是外來征服者的語言。

不列顛島上，最早是有原始人的，但是歷史記載中絲毫沒有提到他們。這個海島的第一個主人，是從歐洲大陸上過去的凱爾特人，他們講凱爾特語。公元2世紀，羅馬人駐軍不列顛，他們講拉丁語。羅馬人比凱爾特人文明得多，兩者根本無法融合，所以那時還不存在英語。

公元5世紀，羅馬人撤離不列顛，然后日耳曼人中的盎格魯－薩克森人登陸不列顛，他們講盎格魯－薩克森語，這就是現(xiàn)代英語的起源。英語和德語在語言學上是同源的。這就是說，英語是在公元6世紀開始出現(xiàn)的，那時的英語被稱為古英語，更接近日耳曼語。

盎格魯－薩克森人也是蠻人，語言比較簡單，不精致，只能用于描述日常生活，沒法傳達思想感情和進行文學創(chuàng)作。英語歷史上的一件大事就是，公元597年，羅馬教皇格列高利一世決定派遣教士去不列顛島建立教會。這一舉動使得英國的文明程度大大提升，它不再是歐洲大陸以外的一個蠻夷海島，粗俗的盎格魯－薩克森語受到精致的拉丁語的熏陶，兩者迅速融合在一起。這是英語發(fā)展史上的第一件大事。

出生于公元672年或673年的比德（St Bede the Venerable），是英國歷史上第一個歷史學家，他寫了英國歷史上的第一本史書《英吉利教會史》，記載了基督教會在英國最早的一些活動。大家可以想像，基督教正式來到英國是公元597年，比德這本書離這個日期只相差100多年，對于了解英國當時的狀況可謂是最珍貴的史料。

英語史上的三次文化入侵

公元6世紀末基督教會來到不列顛島，這是英語史上的一件大事，標志著英語開始受到拉丁語的影響。英語原本是盎格魯－薩克森語，屬于日耳曼語的一種。拉丁語的傳入是它受到的第一次文化入侵，以后這樣的“侵略”還發(fā)生過兩次。從公元793年開始，北歐的維京人（Viking）開始入侵不列顛島。到了9世紀中期，幾乎半個英格蘭都落入了維京人手里。北歐海盜的到來，使得英語受到了北歐語的強烈影響。

1066年，法國的諾曼底公爵入侵不列顛島，最終成功得控制了英國全國，成為威廉一世。他清洗了英國的朝廷和教會，所有重要的職位都由法國人擔任，上層所有的交流都用法語。用一個學者的話說，法國人入侵這件事“對英語的影響比

英語史上任何其他事件都更大”。從此，法語對英語產(chǎn)生了極其巨大的影響，這就是英語受到的第三次文化入侵。

此后的200多年中，英國社會的語言狀況是這樣的：政府和貴族說法語，宗教和文化事業(yè)用拉丁語，底層的老百姓繼續(xù)用英語。直到今天，英國人說一點法語，都是時髦的表現(xiàn)。

經(jīng)過這三次文化入侵，英語的詞匯就變的非常豐富。

英語地位的確立，中世紀

當時的情況是，法語是官方語言，英語成了二等語言，很有可能從此就消失了。在社會上層都講法語和拉丁語的情況下，英語還能生存下來，并最終取代法語的位臵，有這樣幾個原因：

首先，在諾曼征服之前，古英語的書面語和口語都已經(jīng)確立了，有了群眾基礎?！坝美≌Z和法語來做書面記錄是一回事，但要把英國普通老百姓講的話根除，這得要法國人統(tǒng)治幾百年才做得到。說英語的人在人口統(tǒng)計學上占有絕對優(yōu)勢。從實際上講，顯而易見，英國人不會緊緊因為被外國人統(tǒng)治就不再說英語了?！?其次，英語之所以幸存，是因為諾曼人幾乎立刻就開始與被他們征服的人通婚了?？梢韵胂襁@樣一種情形，一個諾曼小騎士住在英國鄉(xiāng)間一座小莊園中，周圍都是英國農(nóng)民，由英國侍女為他服侍，英國管家料理他的地產(chǎn)，他的孩子則跟英國孩子在一起玩耍。他要想生存下去，平息他下屬臣民的怨氣，就得學一點兒英文。第三個原因也許是最重要的原因，即1204年，由于英皇軍事上的魯莽，失去了對法國諾曼底領土的控制。許多在兩個國家都擁有土地并且在兩國之間跑來跑去的諾曼貴族迫不得已，要宣布自己究竟效忠法國還是英國。

大約在13世紀早期，英國的官方文件中開始出現(xiàn)了英語單詞。13世紀末，英皇愛德華一世開始挑動民眾的反法情緒，英語的地位進一步穩(wěn)固。1337到1454年，英國同法國打起了百年戰(zhàn)爭，這為說英語而不是法語提供了強大的刺激。

與此同時，由于一種名叫“黑死病”的神秘疾病的爆發(fā)，使勞動力銳減，改善并加速提高了英國工人的地位（這一過程最終在1381年的農(nóng)民起義中達到頂點）。它在修道院和教堂造成了如此之多的死亡，以至新一代的半受教育半文盲，不會說法語和拉丁語的人能夠作為男修道院院長和小修道院女院長來接管他們的前任。黑死病之后，學校學生開始用英語而非法語來解釋他們上的法語課和拉丁語課。

這時候，英語已經(jīng)開始出現(xiàn)在社會的各個層面。1356年，倫敦市長下令，法庭應用英語審案。1362年，議會用英語宣布開會。1381年，理查二世用英語對農(nóng)民講話。英語的地位就這樣確立了。

第四篇：English mania英語演講稿

English Mania

中國有一種新的狂熱，是學英語的狂熱，聽，我們中國學生正在用高聲喊叫的方法練習英語。如今，法律規(guī)定，中國小孩從三年級起開始學習英文。

China has a new mania.A mania for learning English.Listen，as Our Chinese students practice English by screaming it.Nowadays, Chinese kids start learning English in the third grade by law.正如我們所知道的，在中國有一個非常重要的考試叫做高考。這個考試的成績決定了我們的未來。所以，我們中國學生為了準備這個考試三年里每天學習12個小時，其中成績的25%是由英語決定的。

As we all know, there is a very important test in China called Gaokao.The score on [di’t?:minz

]this one test determines our future.So, we Chinese students study 12 hours a day

for three years to prepare it, and 25% of the grade is based on English.為什么英語？用一個詞來說：機會。有更好的生活、工作。

Why English ? In a single word: Opportunity.Opportunity for a better life,and a job,但是我想問那么這股英語熱是好還是壞呢？

But I want to ask.Is English mania good or bad?

根據(jù)最新世界大學排名，最好大學在美國和英國。最好的工作都給了畢業(yè)于西方大學的人。所以每個人都想學英語去改變他們的人生。

According to the latest World University Rankings, the best universities are from the U.K.and the U.S.The best jobs go to people who out of the Western Universities So everybody wants to learn English to change their life..但是可悲的是，每14天就有一種語言消失，同時，英語是全球語言，其中有關系嗎？

But sadly, today, a language dies every 14 days.At the same time, English is the global language.Could there be a connection?

在我看來，和英語有關。我覺得如果每個人狂熱于學習英語，這個世界將會只有一種語言和一種文化——英語。像如果趙本山是一個英語狂熱者，我們會有那么多優(yōu)秀的喜劇小品嗎？如果愛因斯坦是個英語狂熱者，我們將會丟失一個優(yōu)秀的物理學家

In my opinion, it’s about English.And I want to remind you that the lots of successful people did not have to have English,.Like Zhao Benshan ,Would we have those good comedy skits? If Einstein was an English mania.We would lose a great physicist.我不反對學習英語，但是我覺得我們應該重視我們的語言，用它來傳播偉大的想法，讓世界變得多樣性I am not against English learning;but I think we should mind our language.Use it to spread great ideas.To make the world diversity.

第五篇：My English Study演講稿

My English Study演講稿

Good evening, respected teachers and dear friends!I’m so happy and honored to be able to enter the semi-finals of this speech contest.Today my topic is: My English Study, I will share my own experience of English learning.As the days go on, it is very important for us to learn English well.However, learning English is not so easy for usbecause the lack of language environment.Therefore, we urgently need to find more effective methods to master English.When I was young, I studied English like most students do, word back, dictation and recite，I thought that I can learn English well.But it turns out I was wrong, although I have done quite well in exam, I can’t use English to communicate with others.That’s dumb English, even though I have learned English for ten years.Until then I realizeEnglish learning is different from other subjects because the language is a tool rather than knowledge.SoI change my way to learning English.I try to communicate with others in English.Yeah, I won’t be afraid to lose face.I told myself that it doesn’t matter and then I’m standing here to speak something out.I joined a group of WeChat, which is makes up of the China Daily’s readers who come from different countries.We exchange ideas, share our lifein English.They are very cheerful, I love this group!

Except to speak more English, I will read some English story books, my favorite one isThe Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, which is not only improved my vocabulary, and gave me some moving and enlightenment.Overall, my English study is to continue to use it, use it to communicate and learn other knowledge and culture.Maybe this is not the best way to learn English, but it is extremely effective.I hope you, everyone in here, can find your most effective method to learn English.That’s all.Thank you for your attention.
