Title: Embracing Diversity: The Key to a Harmonious Society

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, esteemed judges, and fellow contestants. I am honored to stand before you today to deliver a speech on the theme of embracing diversity.

Diversity is a fundamental characteristic of our world. It encompasses differences in race, religion, culture, language, and more. Unfortunately, despite the progress we have made in many aspects of society, discrimination and prejudice still persist. It is imperative that we understand the importance of embracing diversity and work towards building a harmonious society.

Firstly, embracing diversity fosters innovation and creativity. When people from different backgrounds come together, they bring with them unique perspectives and experiences. This diversity of thought leads to the generation of new ideas and solutions to complex problems. Just think about the technological advancements and scientific breakthroughs that have been achieved through collaboration between individuals with diverse expertise and backgrounds. By embracing diversity, we unlock our collective potential for innovation.

Secondly, embracing diversity promotes understanding and tolerance. When we interact with people who are different from us, we have the opportunity to learn about their cultures, traditions, and values. This exposure broadens our horizons and challenges our preconceived notions. It helps us to see beyond stereotypes and recognize the common humanity that we all share. By embracing diversity, we can break down barriers and foster empathy and compassion.

Thirdly, embracing diversity strengthens social cohesion. In a society where diversity is celebrated, individuals feel valued and included. This sense of belonging fosters unity and cooperation, leading to a stronger and more resilient community. When people are able to express their identities without fear of discrimination, they are more likely to contribute positively to society. By embracing diversity, we create an environment where everyone can thrive.

To embrace diversity, we must start with education and awareness. Schools should incorporate diversity and inclusion into their curricula, teaching students about different cultures and encouraging respect for all individuals. Additionally, media plays a crucial role in shaping public opinion. By promoting diverse voices and stories, media outlets can help to break down stereotypes and promote understanding.

In conclusion, embracing diversity is essential for building a harmonious society. It drives innovation, promotes understanding, and strengthens social cohesion. By recognizing the value of diversity and working towards inclusivity, we can create a world where everyone is accepted and celebrated for who they are. Let us embrace diversity and pave the way for a brighter future.

Thank you.

Title: The Power of Youth: Empowering the Next Generation

Good morning, esteemed judges, teachers, and fellow contestants. Today, I stand before you to discuss the power of youth and the importance of empowering the next generation.

Youth is a time of immense potential and creativity. It is a period when individuals are filled with dreams and aspirations. However, all too often, young people are underestimated and overlooked. It is crucial that we recognize the power of youth and provide them with the tools, opportunities, and support they need to thrive.

Firstly, youth possesses the energy and passion to drive change. Young people are often at the forefront of social movements and activism. From advocating for climate change action to fighting for gender equality, youth are leading the way in creating a better future. By empowering the next generation, we enable them to channel their energy and passion towards making a positive impact in their communities and beyond.

Secondly, youth brings fresh perspectives and innovative ideas. With access to technology and information, young people are more connected than ever before. They have a unique ability to think outside the box and challenge traditional norms. By empowering the next generation, we tap into their creativity and encourage them to find innovative solutions to the problems we face as a society.

Thirdly, empowering youth fosters personal development and self-confidence. When young people are given the opportunity to take on leadership roles, make decisions, and contribute to their communities, they develop valuable skills and gain a sense of purpose. This not only benefits them individually but also strengthens the fabric of society. By empowering the next generation, we invest in their personal growth and equip them with the tools they need to succeed.

To empower youth, we must create inclusive and supportive environments. Schools should provide comprehensive education that goes beyond academics and includes life skills, critical thinking, and entrepreneurship. Governments and organizations should invest in programs and initiatives that promote youth participation and leadership. Mentoring and guidance from experienced professionals can also play a crucial role in empowering young people.

In conclusion, youth has the power to shape the future. By empowering the next generation, we harness their energy, creativity, and passion to create positive change. Let us recognize the potential of youth and provide them with the necessary support and opportunities to thrive. Together, we can build a better world for generations to come.

Thank you.

once upon a time, a weenie ant was walking on his way. as he was walking, suddenly he felt the ground shaking terribly. he looked around with his paranoid eyes and saw an elephant walking right behind him. quickly, the little ant covered himself with dirt, but one leg was unfortunately left out. a sparrow saw everything, so she flew down with the purpose of teasing the ant: “hey, chicken! watch out your leg, it’s out!” the ant felt embarrassed at first but then calmly responded: “ shi…i am going to trip that elephant.”

right now, i’m standing on this glamorous stage. but everything here reminds me of is a not so fun memory. around this time last year i was in nanjing competing in another speech contest. that was the first time for me to be in such a large event. of course the pressure i was under was immense too. after a sleepless and stressful night, i went onto that stage without the feeling in my legs. that speech turned out to be horrible. i don’t remember how i get down from there, but i do remember afterwards i just wanted to find a hole to hide in just like the ant in the story. back at my school, it took a long time for me to recover. thanks to all the help i got from my special friends. my confidence was restored. after rounds of giving speeches and answering tough questions, i am here today. from all that i’ve been through i’ve learned that a good future is based on a forgotten past, if i want my life to go on well i have to let go of my past failure. so today, with out fear, i am tripping my elephant again.

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.

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.

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 inpiduality 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.

I can't ever forget that little girl in my class who couldn't had the same opportunities as any of us here to enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopeful world tomorrow.

It is the sacred responsibility of this generation to face up to the challenges of the new century and to devote our sweat and blood, our wisdom and passion, to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier land for every one of us.

We are not going to evade that responsibility. We are going to let people down. And people, far and near, will hear of us. Frost will be brought to their backbones and tears to their eyes when our stories are told and retold, So let us go forth, my fellow members of this luckily chosen generation, and meet the new century in victory and glory.

全国英语比赛演讲稿 篇六

When I was still a freshman in college, one Scottish professor complained to me about being overcharged at a grocery store. He explained that many business owners in China would assume that white “foreigners” are rich and unable to understand Chinese. My amiable professor, unwilling to start a conflict, would always pay the undue price even though he was only meagerly paid by my university and was able to speak perfect Mandarin.

As a student of humanities, I’m particularly intrigued by the ramifications of cross-cultural encounters entailed by the new era. We have to bear in mind that whenever we talk about the new era, there is always an old era that keeps haunting us in various ways. Last year I went to the University of Tokyo for a one-year exchange program. Before I left, my grandma seemed quite distraught and apprehensive: she told me to take care of myself as if I was about to go to the battlefield.

But we Chinese are not the only ones infested by outdated misconceptions. When I was bidding farewell to my American professor at an academic writing class in Japan, she stopped me and asked me, “Are you really from China?” At first I thought she was pointing at my handsomeness, asking me whether I had been to Korea for plastic surgery. Well, clearly this is another stereotype that we should get rid of. But to my disappointment, she was actually referring to my English skills. “I’ve never met any Chinese student who can talk and write like you do,” She said, “You must have been stayed in the States for some time, haven’t you?” It does seem that even a specialist in linguistics can’t escape the illusion built up by the last generation of Chinese students: gauche and diffident, unable to articulate themselves in English.

Nevertheless, such stereotypes are becoming a thing of the past. When professors around the globe meet with an increasing number of students from China with both language proficiency and academic competence, well-qualified students will no longer be a surprise. Moreover, with more people going abroad and enjoying firsthand encounters with different cultures, people like my grandma will no longer be subject to the fossilized, antiquated narrative of the past. The interesting thing is, after I told my grandma my experiences in Japan, how clean, safe and beautiful their cities are and how nice, polite and considerate their people are, she gladly removed Japan from the list of least-want-to-visit foreign countries and put it instead to the most-want-to-visit one.

Even the shop owner near my campus is now repenting for his peccadillo. When gradually more international purchasers become his patrons, he would no longer treat them differently. And he would even occasionally call out for them, yelling “come, come,” “cheap, cheap,” “thanks thanks” with a very strong Chinese accent. Meanwhile, my Scottish professor has now equipped himself with Wechat and Alipay, assimilating seamlessly into the local life here.

The old era is like a cocoon, protecting us from possible dangers outside and providing us with warmth and comfort. However, an overreliance on memories and experiences of a long-gone past can also hinder us from genuine, meaningful interactions for the future, just as the cocoon can also serve as a wall to bar us from the beautiful world outside. But in order to make a brand-new attire or to build a modern silk road, we have to plunge the cocoons into hot water and obtain the silk despite the pain. So ladies and gentlemen, don’t be trapped by the old era. Transcend it, and embrace the new one.

Thank you.
