大學英語演講比賽範文

　　大學時期，英語比賽進行的比較多。大家可以多參加一些演講類的比賽。下面是小編給大家整理的，供大家參閱!

　　篇1：we are the world ,we are the future

　　someone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. i don’t know who wrote these words, but i’ve always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be. we are all in the position of the farmers. if we plant a good seed ,we reap a good harvest. if we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.

　　we are young. “how to spend the youth?” it is a meaningful question. to answer it, first i have to ask “what do you understand by the word youth?” youth is not a time of life, it’s a state of mind. it’s not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees. it’s the matter of the will. it’s the freshness of the deep spring of life.

　　a poet said “to see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. several days ago, i had a chance to listen to a lecture. i learnt a lot there. i’d like to share it with all of you. let’s show our right palms. we can see three lines that show how our love.career and life is. i have a short line of life. what about yours? i wondered whether we could see our future in this way. well, let’s make a fist. where is our future? where is our love, career, and life? tell me.yeah, it is in our hands. it is held in ourselves.

　　we all want the future to be better than the past. but the future can go better itself. don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened. from the past, we’ve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher. we’ve learnt that we can’t choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it. failure doesn’t mean you don’t have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way. failure doesn’t mean you should give up, it does mean you must try harder.

　　as what i said at the beginning, “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. the past has gone. nothing we do will change it. but the future is in front of us. believe that what we give to the world, the world will give to us. and from today on, let’s be the owners of ourselves, and speak out “we are the world, we are the future.”

　　一些人說“我們正在讀一本無窮的書中的第一章的第一節。”我不知道誰寫了這些話，但是我一直很喜歡它，因為它提醒了我，我們能夠創造我們想要的未來。

　　我們都是農夫。如果我們播下好的種子，我們將會豐收。如果我們的種子很差，有很多草籽，收割的將是無用的莊稼。如果我們什麼也不播種，什麼收穫也沒有。

　　我們是年輕的。“怎樣度過青春?”這是個有意義的問題。為了去回答它，我首先要問“從‘青春’這個詞中你能理解到什麼?” 青春不是人生的一個時期，而是精神的一種狀態。青春不是桃面、丹脣、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，。青春是生命的深泉在湧流.

　　一位詩人說“從***看世界，從一朵花看天堂，把無限放在你的手掌，永恆在一剎那裡收藏”。幾天前，我有了一個聽講座的機會，從中我學到了很多東西。現在，我想把這些與大家共享。讓我們伸出右手，我們可以看到手掌中的展示我們的愛，事業和生活的三條線。我在生活方面這條線很短，那你們的呢?我想知道我們是否可以用這種辦法去看我們的未來。好的，讓我們一起握拳。我們的未來在哪兒?我們的愛、事業和生活在哪兒?告訴我!是的，它們就在我們的手中。它們被我們自己掌握著。

　　我們所有人都希望未來能比過去更美好，但是未來能自己變得更好。不要因為結束而哭泣，微笑吧，為你的曾經擁有。從過去來看，生活是艱苦的，但我們是更堅強。我們知道我們不能選擇感覺，但是我們能選擇和它相關的東西。失敗並不意味著你不擁有成功，它只意味著你應該用另一種方式去做這件事。失敗並不意味著你應該放棄，只意味著你應該更加努力。

　　正如我在前面所說的“我們正在讀一本無窮的書中的第一章的第一節。”過去的已經過去，無論我們無力改變，但是未來卻在我們前方。相信“我們給了世界什麼，世界也將給我們”。並且從今天起，讓我們一起做我們自己的主人，一起大聲說出“世界是我們的，未來是我們的。”

　　篇2：From Walls to Bridges

　　I'm studying in a city famous for its walls. All visitors to my city are amazed by the imposing sight of the city walls, silhouetted by the setting sun with gold and shining lines. With old, cracked bricks patched with lichen, the walls are weather-beaten guards, standing still for centuries in protecting the city.

　　Our ancestors liked to build walls. They built walls in Beijing, Xi'an, Nanjing and many other cities, and they built the Great Wall, which snakes through half of our country. They built walls to ward off enemies and evil spirits. This tradition has been maintained to this day as we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public. I grew up at the foot of the city walls, and I've loved them since my childhood. For a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world.

　　My perception, however, changed after a hiking trip to the Eastern Suburbs, a scenic area of my city. My classmates and I were walking with some international students. As we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by taller and taller trees, which formed a huge canopy above our heads. Suddenly an international student asked me, "Where is the entrance to the Eastern Suburbs?"

　　"We're already in the Eastern Suburbs," I replied.

　　He seemed taken aback, "I thought you Chinese have walls for everything." His remark set off a heated debate. At one point, he likened our walled cities to "jails," while I insisted that the Eastern Suburbs were one of the many places in China that had no walls.

　　That debate had no winners, but I did learn a lot from this international student. For instance, he told me that universities like Oxford and Cambridge were not surrounded by walls; the campuses were just part of the cities. I have to admit that we do have many walls in China, and as we are developing our country, we must carefully examine them, whether they are physical or intangible. We will keep some walls but tear down those that impede China's development.

　　Let me give you an example.

　　A year ago, when I was working on a term paper, I needed a book on business law and found a copy in the law school library. However, the librarian turned down my request with a cold shoulder, saying, "You can't borrow this book, you are not a student here." In the end, I had to spend 200 yuan buying a copy; meanwhile, the copy in law school was gathering dust on the shelf.

　　At the beginning of this semester, I heard that my university has started not only to unify its libraries but also link them up with libraries of other universities, so my experience will not be repeated. Barriers will be replaced by bridges. Through an inter-library loan system, we will have access to books from any library. With globalization, with China integrated into the world, I believe many of these intangible walls will be knocked down.

　　I know globalization is a controversial issue, and it is hard to say whether it is good or bad. But one thing is for sure: it draws our attention to China's tangible and intangible walls and forces us to examine their roles in the modern world.

　　And how about the ancient walls in my city and other cities? Should we tear them down? Just the opposite. My city, like Beijing and other cities, is actually making a great effort to preserve the walls. These walls attract not only historians and archeologists but also many schoolchildren trying to study our history and cultural heritage. Walls have turned into bridges to our past and to the rest of the world. If the ancient builders of these walls were still alive today, they would be proud to see such great change in the role of their walls. They are now bridges that link East and West, South and North, and all countries of the world. Our cultural heritage will survive globalization.

　　篇3：responsibility is a badge of honour for youth

　　facing this audience on the stage, i have the exciting feeling of participating in the march of history, for what we are facing today is more than a mere competition or contest. it is an assembly of some of china's most talented and motivated people, representatives of a younger generation that are preparing themselves for the coming of a new century.

　　i'm grateful that i've been given this opportunity, at such a historic moment, to stand here as a spokesman of my generation and to take a serious look back at the past 15 years, a crucial period for every one of us and for this nation as well.

　　though it is only within my power to tell about my personal experience, and only a tiny fragment of it at that, it still represents, i believe, the root of a spirit which has been essential to me and to all the people bred by the past 15 years.

　　in my elementary years, there was a little girl in the class who worked very hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons.

　　the teacher asked me to help her, and it was obvious that she expected a lot from me. but as a young boy, restless, thoughtless, i always tried to evade her so as to get more time to enjoy myself.

　　one day before the final exam, she came up to me and said, "could you please explain this to me? i want very much to do better this time. " i started explaining, and finished in a hurry. pretending not to notice her still confused eyes, i ran off quickly. nat surprisingly, she again did very badly in the exam. and two months later, at the beginning of the new semester, word came of her death of blood cancer. no one ever knew about the little task i failed to fulfill, but i couldn't forgive myself. i simply couldn't forget her eyes, which seem to be asking, "why didn't you do a little more to help me, when it was so easy for you? why didn't you understand a little better the trust placed in you, so that i would not have to leave this world in such pain and regret?"

　　i was about eight or nine years old at that time, but in a way it was the very starting point of my life, for i began to understand the word "responsibility" and to learn to always do my duties faithfully and devotedly, for the implications of that sacred word has dawned on me: the mutual need and trust of people, the co-operation and inter-reliance which are the very foundation of human society.

　　later in my life, i continued to experience many failures. but never again did i feel that regret which struck me at the death of the girl, for it makes my heart satisfied to think that i have always done everything in my power to fulfill my responsibilities as best i can.

　　as i grew up, changed and improved by this incident and many other similar ones, i began to perceive the changes taking place around me and to find that society, in a way, was in its formative years like myself. new buildings, new commodities and new fashions appear every day.

　　new ideas, new information, new technologies. people can talk with each other from any corner of the earth in a matter of seconds. society is becoming more competitive.

　　words like individuality and creativity are getting more emphasis and more people are rewarded for their hard work and efforts. such is the era in which this generation ,grows and matures.

　　such is the era in which this generation will take over the nation from our fathers and learn to run it. yet in the meantime, many problems still exist.

　　we learn that crimes take place in broad daylight with crowds of people looking on and not assisting. we hear that there are still about 1 million children in this country who can't even afford to go to elementary schools while enormous sums of money are being squandered away on dinner parties and luxury cars.

　　we buy shoddy medicines, or merely worthless junk in the name of medicines, that aggravate, rather than alleviate our diseases since money, many people believe, is the most important thing in the world that must be made, even at the expense of morality and responsibility.

　　such an era, therefore, determines that we are a generation with a keener sense of competition and efficiency and a greater readiness to think critically and act creatively.

　　such an era, furthermore, demands, that we are a generation with a clear perception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive will to take action and solve the problems. history has long been preparing these qualities in this generation and it is now calling us forward to give testimony to our patriotism and heroism towards this nation and all humanity.

　　standing here now, i think of the past 15 years of my life as an ordinary student. probably i'll be an ordinary man for the rest of my life. but this doesn't discourage me any, for i know that with my sense of responsibility and devoted efforts to always strive, for the best, it's going to be a meaningful and worthwhile life that i will be living.

　　standing here now, i think of the past 15 years of this nation, which has achieved greatness that inspired millions of people of my age, most of whom will not attain fame or prestige and only a few of whom will be remembered by posterity. but that doesn't discourage us any, because we know that the world watches, the world listens, the world is waiting to see where this nation will be heading in a time of rich opportunities and fierce competition.

　　責任感——青年人榮譽的標誌

　　站在臺上面對大家，我心情十分激動。好像是在參加一次歷史性的長征。我們今天面對的遠不只一場競賽或角逐。這是才華出眾，生氣勃勃的中國青年的一次聚會。我們是青年一代的代表。為迎接新世紀的到來，我們正在從各方面作好準備。

　　在這一歷史時刻，能有機會代表同齡人在此認真地回顧於國於己都至關重要的過去的15年，我感激萬分。

　　儘管只能談談個人經歷，而且只涉及其中一個小小的片段，但我相信，它仍然折射出對我和在過去15年間一同成長起來的青年人都不可缺少的一種思想基礎。

　　我上小學時，班上有位小姑娘，學習非常刻苦而成績卻不盡人意。

　　老師要我幫助她。看得出，她也寄厚望於我。但我那時還是個小男孩，坐不住，不懂事。我老是避她。以便有更多時間自己玩。

　　期末考試前一天，她來求我說“請你給我講解一下行嗎?這次我很想考得好一點。”我開始給她講解，不一會兒便草草收場，假裝沒有察覺她迷茫的眼神，一溜煙兒地跑開了。不出所料，這次她又考砸了。兩個月後，新學期依始，傳來她死於血癌的訊息。我沒有完成那項小小的任務，無人知曉。但我卻不能原諒自己。她的眼睛令我難以忘懷，彷彿在責問我，“你為什麼不願多幫助我呢?這對於你來說，並不費事。你為什麼不能理解我對你的信賴，而讓我帶著痛苦和遺憾離開這個世界?”

　　我當時才八九歲。但從某種意義上講，這件事成了我生活的新起點。因為我開始體會到“責任”二字的意義，並盡心盡力地學著完成自己的義務。我也逐漸領會了這個神聖字眼的深刻內含:人與人之間的彼此需要和信任、合作和依賴正是人類社會存在的基礎。

　　之後，我在生活中又經受過多次失敗，但那小姑娘之死所引起的懊悔，心裡卻不曾再現。想到自己做每一件事都能盡職盡責，一種滿足之感便油然而生。

　　此事及類似的多起事件改變了我，完善了我。當我長大成人，我開始領悟周圍發生的一切變化。我發現，從某種意義上說，社會跟我一樣，正處在一個自我完善的時期。新建築、新商品、新款式一天一個樣。新思維、新資訊、新技術層出不窮。即便萬里相隔，人們在轉瞬之間即可相互交談。社會競爭越演越烈。

　　人們越來越強調個性和創造性。越來越多的人因工作努力而受到獎賞。這就是當今的時代，一代新人由成長邁入成熟的時代。這是我們這一代人接替父輩治國安邦的時代。然而，我們也面臨很多間題。

　　據悉，壞人在光天化日之下作惡，周圍的群眾居然袖手旁觀，無動於衷。我還聽說，目前我國尚有100萬兒童連小學也上不起，而鉅額資金卻拿去舉辦奢侈的宴會和購置豪華的轎車。

　　我們常常買的是劣質藥品，或名曰藥品實為一文不值的廢物，非但不能除病去痛，反而會使病情加重。在某些人看來，世上金錢最寶貴，只要能賺錢，不惜犧牲道德和責任。

　　因而，這個時代賦予我們的是更強烈的競爭和效率意識，使我們更善於批判性地思考和創造性地行動。

　　此外，這個時代要求我們這一代人必須認清自己肩負的歷史重任，下定決心，採取行動，解決上述問題。長期以來，歷史一直在我們這一代人身上培養著這些品質。現在，歷史呼喚我們挺身而出，以實際行動向全民族及全人類證實我們的拳拳愛國之心和大無畏的英雄主義。

　　此刻，我站在講臺上回顧15年來的學生生活。今後的歲月，我很可能平平淡淡地度過。但這絲毫不會讓我心灰意冷。因為我知道，憑藉強烈的責任感和精益求精的不懈奮鬥，我將追求一種有意義的生活，一種不枉此生的生活。

　　此刻，我站在講臺上回顧過去，15年來祖國取得的巨大成就激勵著千千萬萬的同齡人。我們之中大多數人將與名利和權力無緣。只有極少數人或許會後世留芳。對此我們絲毫也不會在意。因為我們知道，世界在觀望，世界在傾聽。在這個大量機遇和激烈竟爭並存的時代，我們國家究竟去向何方，整個世界都在關注。

　　我永遠不會忘記班上那位小姑娘。她本應該卻沒能和在座各位一樣享受今天美好的人生和明日充滿希望的世界。

　　接受新世紀的挑戰，把我們的血汗、智慧和熱情奉獻給建設祖國、造福人民的偉大歷史事業。這就是我們這一代人的神聖職責。

　　我們決不逃避責任，決不辜負人民的期望。我們的業績將四海傳揚。我們的故事將被反覆講述，定會令人驚歎不已，以至熱淚盈眶。
