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.
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.

第四篇:第十届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军演讲稿
building bridges for the future
i’m studying in a city
that’s famous for its walls. people who visit my city are amazed at
the imposing sight of its walls, especially when silhouetted against the setting
sun with gold, shining streaks. the old, cracked bricks are covered with
lichens and the walls are weather-beaten guards standing still for centuries.
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 across half our country. they built
walls to protect against enemies and evil spirits. this tradition has survived
to this day: we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public.
for a long time, walls were one of the most
natural things in the world to me.
my perceptions, however, changed after i
made a hiking trip to the eastern suburbs of my city. my classmates and i were
walking with some foreign students. as we walked out of the city, we found
ourselves flanked by tall trees, which formed a wide canopy above our heads.
suddenly one foreign 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 had 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 student. for instance, he told me that some major universities
like oxford and cambridge were not surrounded by walls. i have to admit that we
do have many walls in china, and as we develop our country, we must look
carefully at them and decide whether they are physical or intangible. we will
keep some walls but tear down those that impede our development.
let me give another 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 coldly rejected my request to borrow it,
saying, “you can’t borrow this book, you’re not a
student here.” in the end, i had to spend 200 yuan to buy a copy.
meanwhile, the copy in the law school gathered dust on the shelf.
at the beginning of this semester, i heard
that my university had started to think of unifying its libraries and linking
them to libraries at other universities, so my experience wouldn’t be
repeated. barriers would be replaced by bridges. an inter-library loan system
would give us access to books from any library. with globalization and china
integrated into the world, i believe many of these intangible walls will be
knocked down.
i know that 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 role in the modern world.
and how about the ancient walls of mine and
other cities? should we tear them down? definitely not. my city, like beijing
and other cities, is actually making a great effort to preserve the walls.
these walls attract historians, archaeologists, and many schoolchildren who are
trying to study our history and cultural heritage. walls have become 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 changes 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.
第五篇:21世纪杯演讲稿
distinguished judges, ladies and gentlemen,
good afernoon.
today, i’m very honord to stand
here to give you a speech and share my idea about 90s with you.
there is a saying goes that “90s
generation is the net generation”as 90s are growing up with the fast
development of internet and could be the first experiencers in the information
era. some people even hold that 90s can’t live without network.
to some extend, i agree that net plays a
very important role in most of 90s’ life. it makes life
convinient.you can buy almost anything you want and you needn’t go to
the supermaket, mall or some places else by online shopping.you can collect a
lot of information from the internet and you needn’t go to the
library to borrow the book you want which is hard to find.you can enjoy
woderful music and movies you like and needn’t buy a ticket that will
cost amounts of money.
but internet is only a part of
90s’ life, let alone those who live in undeveloped regions. they
actually don’t get any chance to have access to the net. i think
computer and network is just a tool for us 90s to learn kownledge and to
communicate with others. for example, one of my dear friend liming,who is
really a so-called “net generation”. he always buys a lot
of things online, such as his hats, bags and even some presents he want to send
to his mother. he usually finishes his homework by seaching the information on
the internet. he constantly downloads the music he likes, especaily the songs
aresinged by super gilrs or happy boys. computer and internet is tool for him
and colourfuled his life .
as a member of 90s, i kown there are so
many misunderstandings to 90s. and i know the community is no lack of criticism
to the 90s. nowadays, a lot of people think 90s generation is a negative
generation for 90s are addicted to network, unable to stand a setback, selfish
and conceited. however, as far as i am concerned, i inclined to believe that
90s is a promising generation. though our 90s are not perfect, we need a priod
to grow up. as we all know, most of 90s are only child in our family. the
majority of us are underage in current, 90s’thought are different
from other people. doesn’t every successful adults grow up from a
naive child? so please don’t laugh at us for our mistakes and being naive.what
we need is just more concerns and guidances. please don’t call us the
net generation, just call us the growing generation .
