第一篇：第十六届中国日报社“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛亚军张小洁演讲稿

A couple of weeks ago, when I learned the theme of today‟s competition, I asked some of my roommates: “What does „faith‟ mean to you?” Just coming back from a philosophy class, the girls were in a poetic mood: “Faith is what John Lennon had when he wrote the legendary song „Imagine‟ and dreamed of „world peace‟”, “Faith is what the Hebrews had when they followed Moses through the Red Sea in search of their freedom.” “And faith is what the pilgrims had when they journeyed to that strange land on Mayflower, and started their pursuit of a new life.”

Thanks for the history lesson girls, but I was not asking for a great, historic event where faith might have altered the entire course of humanity.All I asked was “what does faith mean to you, to us, the inpiduals toiling with life‟s hard choices each day?” Personally speaking, faith is like oxygen: I didn‟t know how precious it was until I ran the risk of losing it.My heart stirs still every time memory brings me back to three years ago, when the devastating earthquake engulfed our country.As one of the few cities that took the hit the hardest that day, my hometown was suddenly devoured by a black hole of depression.Having forsaken our worldly possessions, my family joined the army of tents every night, holding our breath and waiting for daybreak;having abandoned the comfort of home, we managed to lift ourselves up, along with neighbors and friends, when each after-shock threatened to tear us down.As a politician once put it, in the face of disaster, we‟re reminded that life can be unimaginably cruel, but it‟s also in these moments, that we rediscover our common faith in life.Indeed, during those dark hours, faith blazed in the courage of my math teacher Ms.Liu, when she stayed behind in a shaking building until she made sure that the last student had safely evacuated;faith radiated from the persistence of my dad when he kept his eyes wide open every single night, so that my mom and I could have a good night‟s sleep;faith was ignited from the empathy of my next-door neighbor, when she took a stranger that was in shock into her arms and consoled him with her warm embrace.In the end, faith was rekindled in the passion of me and my fellow classmates, who immediately got back to preparing for our College Entrance Examination the very next day, with gritted teeth, and a conviction as steady as a rock.Ladies and gentlemen, this is what faith means to me.It‟s the small voice in our ears that says: be strong, be good, and don‟t give up whenever we‟re frustrated by life.That's why after three years, my friends and family have picked themselves up, dusted themselves off and with tougher spirits, begun again their journey towards a better future.At last, to twist the lyrics of last year‟s charity song, I call upon my fellow young friends to chant together with me, in the name of faith, for all those who are still suffering in Haiti, Japan and Myanmar: when I get older, I will be stronger, they‟ll call me faith, just like a waving flag.Let us carry above our heads the waving flag called Faith, and let its many inspirations lift us up from where we belong.

演讲稿：

Hello, ladies and gentlemen.Today my topic is The Road Not Taken in Life.“Why are you doing this? Don’t you know it’s a total waste of time?” That’s what my mom yelled at the ten-year-old me, when she found out that I had signed up for an English story-telling competition.I bowed my head;yes, she was right.By then I was entering Grade Six, faced with the biggest challenge yet to come—the examination to enter my dream junior high school.For that, I had given up my beloved piano lesson, my favorite cartoon program and even the playful weekend family reunion with my cousins.I wouldn’t be surprised at all if my very-strict-university-teacher mother got furious at me when I chose to do anything besides study at that crucial moment.But that’s not all to it.Now please take a good look at the

twenty-year-old me, and imagine what I was like when I was ten.Here are the key words: nervous, timid, shy, tongue-tied when facing strangers, and essentially a bookworm.These signs looked fatal to my mother, and possibly to you, too;she thought that I could be anything but a good public speaker.Well, I myself actually said no to my English teacher at first, because I had never done anything like that before and I was afraid.But he told me since I liked reading so much, why not try to tell a story I love to everyone? He also promised me that the judges were not frightening at all;just think of them as carrots and cabbages in a vegetable patch.The ten-year-old me was persuaded by my teacher’s words.The feeling

of telling my beloved stories to someone else ignited a spark of

anticipation in my little chest.So I chose to endure my mother’s ranting for an entire hour, then raised my head bravely and pleaded: “Mom, please.I just want to try.”

My mother looked as if she was on the verge of another outburst—but she only sighed.I took that as her permission, and started working with my teacher day and night to find a story, to illustrate the details, and to practice my facial expressions and gestures in front of the mirror.On the day of the competition, I went on the stage for the very first time in my life;I could feel the nervousness threatening to bring me down, and I felt cheated by my teacher: it was impossible to picture the judges as mere carrots and cabbages.But I went on.Although I only got the third prize at that time, on that stage I stayed ever since, even to this very moment.I should thank my teacher and my mother for letting me take a road that I have never taken before.Little did I know then that this road would one day lead the shy little ten-year-old me into a wonderland;it led me to meet all of you here today.I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that it isn’t so terrifying to venture into the unknown at all;all you need is a little courage and determination.See where my road has led me, and bravely take your first step.

第16届21世纪杯全国英语演讲比赛亚军演讲稿

张小洁：广东外语外贸大学，A couple of weeks ago, when I learned the theme of today‟s competition, I asked some of my

roommates: “What does „faith‟ mean to you?” Just coming back from a philosophy class, the girls were in a poetic mood: “Faith is what John Lennon had when he wrote the legendary song „Imagine‟ and dreamed of „world peace‟”, “Faith is what the Hebrews had when they followed Moses through the Red Sea in search of their freedom.” “And faith is what the pilgrims had when they journeyed to that strange land on Mayflower, and

started their pursuit of a new life.”

Thanks for the history lesson girls, but I was not asking for a great, historic event where faith might have altered the entire course of humanity.All I asked was “what does faith mean to you, to us, the inpiduals toiling with life‟s hard choices each day?” Personally speaking, faith is like oxygen: I didn‟t know how precious

it was until I ran the risk of losing it.My heart stirs still every time memory brings me back to three years ago, when the devastating

earthquake engulfed our country.As one of the few cities that took the hit the hardest that day, my hometown was suddenly devoured by a black hole of depression.Having forsaken our worldly possessions, my family joined the army of tents every night, holding our breath and waiting for daybreak;having abandoned the comfort of home, we managed to lift ourselves up, along with neighbors and friends, when each after-shock threatened to tear us down.As a politician once put it, in the face of disaster, we‟re reminded that life can be

unimaginably cruel, but it‟s also in these moments, that we rediscover our common faith in life.Indeed, during those dark hours, faith blazed in the courage of my math teacher Ms.Liu, when she stayed behind in a shaking building until she made sure that the last student had safely evacuated;faith radiated from the persistence of my dad when he kept his eyes wide open every single night, so that my mom and I could have a good night‟s sleep;faith was ignited from the empathy of my next-door neighbor, when she took a stranger that was in shock into her arms and consoled him with her warm embrace.In the end, faith was rekindled in the passion of me and my fellow classmates, who immediately got back to preparing for our College Entrance Examination the very next day, with gritted teeth, and a conviction as steady as a rock.Ladies and gentlemen, this is what faith means to me.It‟s the small voice in our ears that says: be strong, be good, and don‟t give up whenever we‟re frustrated by life.That's why after three years, my friends and family have picked themselves up, dusted themselves off and with tougher spirits, begun again their journey

towards a better future.At last, to twist the lyrics of last year‟s charity song, I call upon my fellow young friends to chant together with me, in the name of faith, for all those who are still suffering in Haiti, Japan and Myanmar: when I get older, I will be stronger, they‟ll call me faith, just like a waving flag.Let us carry above our heads the waving flag

called Faith, and let its many inspirations lift us up from where we belong.

第五篇：第十六届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军许吉如演讲稿

Have you ever bought any food on the train? And do you ask for the receipt after buying it? Nowadays, all trains in China provide its passengers with receipts for commodities, but 7 years ago, things were quite different.On 13th of October, 2004, the train T109 from Beijing to Shanghai was speeding on the railway.A graduate student bought a sausage at 1 yuan on the train, then asked for a receipt.“Are you kidding? It‟s just one yuan!” The crew member was surprised.The student, however, answered in a determined voice, “I paid the money, so I deserve the receipt.”

“But we never give receipts on the train.‟ As a result, his further request was turned down by a cold shoulder.Several days later, the student sued the National Railway Ministry, for not providing receipts for passengers.To his dismay, the court turned down the case for lack of evidence.But he, who majored in law at that time, believed law as a most powerful weapon, so he did not give up.Instead, he began his journey of collecting first-hand evidence by taking trains and buying commodities aboard.When his classmates were playing soccer, he was taking the train;When his classmates were buying food at Mcdonald‟s, he was buying food on the train;When his classmates were asking girls out, he was asking for the receipts.As he joked, „I was either taking the train or on the way to take the train.‟

One month later, he appeared in the court again, with newly-collected evidence and a stronger confidence.And I guess, ladies and gentlemen, you will all cheer for the result because this time, the student won the case.Very soon, a regulation about receipts on the train came out.And whatever we buy on the train now, there‟s a receipt for us.Outside the court, the student was asked, “How do you make it to the end?” He said, “As a law student, I root my faith in law.I believe that law is there, to protect every person with no exception, and to ensure every person has a say.”

His words spread a strong faith in law, which is not only a doctrine of a law student, but also a belief that all citizens ought to hold.It is this faith that initiates the student to resort to law for a tiny issue;it is this faith that supports him to endure all the exhausting trips when collecting evidence;It is this faith that makes a seemingly “ridiculous” receipt request legal and rightful.It is this faith that helps to change our life, enhance our judicial system and bring social justice.To many, a receipt of 1 yuan is too small to mention, however rights are to be respected and law is to be believed in.It all starts with a tiny receipt of 1 yuan, but we get a monumental case, a new regulation and a bumper harvest in social justice.The bridge that leads a tiny start to a bumper harvest is faith, the faith in law, rightful and strong.
