in the matter of courage we all have our
limits. there never was a hero who did not have his bounds. i suppose it may be
said of nelson and all the others whose courage has been advertised that there
came times in their lives when their bravery knew it had come to its limit.
i have found mine a good many times.
sometimes this was expected--often it was unexpected. i know a man who is not
afraid to sleep with a rattle-snake, but you could not get him to sleep with a
safety-razor.
i never had the courage to talk across a
long, narrow room. i should be at the end of the room facing all the audience.
if i attempt to talk across a room i find myself turning this way and that, and
thus at alternate periods i have part of the audience behind me. you ought
never to have any part of the audience behind you; you never can tell what they
are going to do.
i'll sit down.
第四篇:10分钟英语演讲稿
a window is opened up at the crack of dawn,
beside which one man is overlooking the the mess of buildings outside,
breathing the fresh air cosily. but just after a little while, he steps to his
seat, staring at the computer screen till the night. this man is very likely a
programmer.
there is a man who concentrates on his
computer, but doesn’t care about however he dresses, or even whether
he washes his face.
there is a man who has a good knowledge of
computer language, but has a low eq and makes a bad relationship with others.
there is a man who stays at home and does
his own work by himself day and night, but just has few friends.
these images shown above probably are what
people think of programmers as, in fact, programmers indeed give us a bad
impression sometimes. however, people just have a partial understanding of
programmers’ life, not to mention that they can know the fun of
programming. there is no doubt that programs affect all aspects of our lives in
an obvious or potential way, especially they are reflected in electronic
products that we use nowadays.
when you are so proud of possessing an
iphone, you’d better remember that it is the program that makes you
get confidence to show off the advanced mobile phones thoroughly.
when you take advantage of computers to
cope with problems in life, you’d better remember that it is the
program that makes you seek the convenience of computer.
when you needn’t worry about hot
summer and cold winter owing to an air-conditioner, you’d better
remember that it is the program that makes you share the machine’s
intelligent.
when you release your pressure by playing
varies of online games, you’d better remember that it is the program
that makes you enjoy the great entertainment in life.
as people’s thoughts control
their bodies, computer programs play a leading role in the modern times. both
social progress and human evolution depend on the computer programs. in the
practical application, a software consists of different programs and then
combines with hardware to develop into a high-tech electronic product. there
are many kinds of electronic products found everywhere in our daily life.
nearly all the time do we make use of these products to conduct our passion.
yes, it is definitely right that
programming is a hard work because of its special
characteristics---complicated, time-wasted, logical. to make a program needs
our continual patient and confidence, and we should accept failure again and
again in most cases. but once you go into further understanding of computer
programs, you will be surprised at the programs’ wander. in detail,
through programming a heap of date or a computing model can be easily solved we
expected, such as a number wanted, or the model’s parameters. the
magical power of program appeals to all the programmers, certainly including
me.
it is of great convenience for us to
simplify or model our complex questions by programming. furthermore, studying
and using programs can enforce us to form our ability of analyzing and logic.
computer language has its regular grammar. how to organize the language into a
reasonable calculating method in a high efficiency like speaking
easy-understanding and breath-saving words, is an awful challenge for us, and
it will be very funny.
now, software is more and more important in
our life, therefore programmer becomes a popular profession, which is one
urgent need in the society. for our country, it’s very important to
ensure our national security from others, such as japan. enhancing military
strength makes us pay more attention to the informationalized war that attached
intensely to the fundamental function of program and software. it is truth that
china has a huge population of 1.4 billion, which means messy things from all
the people every day. also, to govern the society orderly all benefit from
information composed by programs.
take a more closer example, in the
classroom, we are graduate students of engineering, and will be occupied in
researching and designing work. thus, not only is programming our tool in
study, but also become a weapon that promoting science and technology and
producing invention and innovation.
i love programming, because of its powerful
function. i love programming, because of its abundant application.
i love programming, because of its terrible
challenge.
i love programming, but i am not intend to
be an outstanding programmer, nor making a great researching achievement. i
just want to know it and do what i want with it.
i hope you firstly remove the horrible
psychology upon programming, and then try to get in touch with it. at last, i
hope programming gives you much happiness in life!
