三到五分鐘的英語演講稿

　　在中國英語作為一門外語擁有最多的外語學習者，英語演講已成為我們生活中必不可少的一部分,並且能有效地幫助我們發展語言應用及交際能力。下面是小編為你整理的幾篇，希望能幫到你喲。

　　篇一

　　As two men were about to be sent into prison, the warden let each of them make a demand. The American loved smoking, so he wanted three boxes of cigars; while the Jew said all he needed was a telephone to contact with people outside of the prison. Two years later, the first out was the American who still had many cigars in his hands and pockets but was crying: “Give me some matches!” Then the Jew walked out, he shook hands with the warden and said: “Thank you for the phone, it made my business increase by 200%.”

　　What do you think of this story? Life today is what you’ve decided years ago, and so is the future: your decisions today will affect your destiny years later. Now I have two things to choose from: to go abroad, to find myself a decent job after graduation or to further my study as a postgraduate. I haven’t worked out an answer to this question yet, but I know that whatever I do will directly affect my future.

　　An Indian once said life is just like a game of cards, the cards in your hand represent opportunities, while the way you play decides the result you’ll get. Looking back in history, during World War Ⅱ, Churchill who led the British people resolved to expect “blood, toil, tears and sweat”. They won the victory then. Today Shenzhou 5 took the first Chinese astronaut into space. I am sure that later there’ll be more spacecrafts, like Shenzhou 6,7 and 8 ……

　　So what does the future look like? No one can tell. But I know the choice is yours, the future is now. Make good use of everyday, a man can achieve greater successes, a country can gain prosperity and the whole world can be united, as it has never been before.

　　篇二

　　In our daily lives, we have many choices to make, such as what to eat for supper,what clothes to wear, or what to do on weekends. At certain times in our lives, we need to make even more critical choices, such as which school to attend, what job to take or who to choose as husband or wife. Yes, life is a matter of choice. Seemimgly, it means a choice of tangible things. But in essence, it means choosing a way of life. Life is to be lived, savored, and enjoyed, not to be wasted or complained about.

　　Hardly can we forget the time when our society faced the grave threat from the life-and-death disease--SARS. Yet, even during those dreadful times, some afflicted people remained optimistic. Instead of wearing neutral white masks, some people turned to colouful ones, and thus display a happy mood. And some creative people dubbed SARS to mean "SMILE AND REMAIN SMILING." I was deeply touched by their optimisim, nearly forgetting that we're still in a battle. people who survive these kinds of circumstances, at some pointdecide in their minds to carry on in spite of the overwhelming odds.

　　laid-off workers, typically regarded as the victims of economic advancement, are subject to desperation that being unmeployed has brought on them. But, encouragingly, we have witnessed some of them striving hard to rebuild confidence toward life and discover new opportunities for demonstrating their values.

　　Although we cannot choose our appearance, inborn gifts and even avoid unexpected disasters and adversities, we do have the privilege to choose to live optimistcally,to love our lives, to have dreams, and to cherish hopes.

　　Every morning when we get up, we have a choice of how we want to approach life that day. As for me, I choose to be cheerful.

　　篇三

　　Honourable judges, ladies and gentlemen,

　　Good afternoon! Today I would like to talk about the importance of keeping opti

　　mistic. When we encounter difficulties in life, we notice that some of us choose to bury their heads in the sand. Unfortunately, however, this attitude will do you no good, because if you will have no courage even to face them, how can you conquer them? Thus, be optimistic, ladies and gentlemen, as it can give you confidence and help you see yourself through the hard times, just as Winston Churchill once said, “An optimist sees an opportunity in every calamity; a pessimist sees a calamity in every opportunity.”

　　Ladies and Gentlemen, keeping optimistic, you will be able to realize, in spite of some hardship, there’s always hope waiting for you, which will lead you to the ultimate success. Historically as well as currently, there are too many optimists of this kind to enumerate. You see, Thomas Edison is optimistic; if not, the light of hope in his heart could not illuminate the whole world. Alfred Nobel is optimistic; if not, the explosives and the prestigious Nobel Prize would not have come into being. And Lance Armstrong is also optimistic; if not, the devil of cancer would have devoured his life and the world would not see a 5-time winner of the Tour De France.

　　A rose may be beautiful, or maybe not; that depends on your attitude only, and so does success, so does life. Hindrances and difficulties do exist, but if you are optimistic, then they are only episodes on your long way to the throne of success; they are more bridges than obstacles! Now I prefer to end my speech with the great British poet Shelley’s lines: “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” Thank you!
