高中生关于英语演讲稿3分钟(通用16篇)

I’m so proud of being one of the best players in the world. but could you believe i had been a lazy girl when i was in junior high. i’m not kidding! at that time, running was my last favorite. i really don’t know how to describe the first time i was on the track. it was horrible. when i started to run, i was simply out of breath. and while i touched the finishing line, i really didn’t know if i was still alive. it’s so funny, huh? but it’s true, i did.

Well, something happened and changed the situation. we won the right of holding the olympic games in 20xx. after that, sports became a kind of game in campus. and there are many sports clubs in school. one day someone asked me:“are you gonna try one of those?”first i felt so wired.

“Try to get into sports clubs? are you kidding?” i said. and she goes: “why not? it’s not hard at all, and so fascinating!” so i did tried one and i was so lucky to become one of those who did orienteering. that is a fantastic sport! you need to run and find where to go just by using a map and a compass. it’s wasn’t popular in china at first. but when we heard it might become a new event in 20xx, we did practiced hard, and aimed to win the first champion of orienteering in the world. when we practiced, there were a lot of troubles. you know, sometimes you need to go with your feet, but sometimes you need to go with your heart. in some situations, we faced the difficulties and problems. and we need to solve that through teamwork and strong willpower. so we can run faster, go higher and be stronger. that is what we say—olympic spirit.

Now the dream came true. i’m standing here with all my body and my heart put in sports. so do the people from all over the world to here at the olympic games. it’s the olympic games that make us together. we are here for a big day of sport; we are here for a dream of sports. we are here for a spirit of sport that encourages us to face the difficulties of today and tomorrow.

Hello:

everyone!Now I want to talk about a beatiful world!

When I was young,I always dreamed that I lived in a beautiful country. There were many flowers and trees around our counld hear the birds singing and see the children dancing. The streets were clear and the the air was very fresh! How nice it was!But that only was a dream of mine!How I wish that it would be come true! So I think we should do something to protect our environment. Everyone should make a contribution to protect the environment.

Taking care of our environment is very ever you live,you can do something around your neighbourhood.

Have you ever thrown any litter onto the ground?Have you ever drawn pictures on public walls?Have you ever spat in a public place?Have you ever cut down trees?If your answers are "No",it means that you have already helped protect our environment.

It is our duty to keep our envionment clean and tidy. You might ask yourself,"Have I ever picked up some rubbish and thrown it into a dustbin?Have I ever collected waste paper or bottles for recycling?Have I ever planted any trees or flowers in or near my neighbourhood?"If your answers are"Yes",it means that you have already done something useful to improve the environment.

Now I want to say :Let's do our best to make our world more beautiful!

I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed!

As the whole world has its boundaries, limits and freedom coexist in our life. I don’t expect complete freedom, which is impossible. I simply have a dream that supports my life.

I dream that one day, I could escape from the deep sea of thick schoolbooks and lead my own life. With my favorite fictions, I lie freely on the green grass, smelling the spring, listening to the wind singing, breathing the fresh and cool air and dissolve my soul in nature at last. Simple and short enjoyment can bring me great satisfaction.

I dream that one day the adults could throw their prejudice of comic and cartoon away. They could keep a lovely heart that can share sorrow and happiness with us while watching cartoon or doing personal things. That’s the real communication of heart to heart.

I have the belief that my dreams should come true. I am looking forward to some day coming when I am like a proud eagle, which flies to the blue and vast sky.

译文:

由于整个世界都有它的界限,限制和自由在我们的生活中共存。我不期望完全的自由,这是不可能的。我只是有一个梦想,支持我的生活。

我梦想有一天,我可以摆脱厚厚的教科书,并导致深海我自己的生活。用我最喜欢的小说,我躺在草地上自由地躺在草地上,闻着春天的气息,听着风的歌声,呼吸着清新凉爽的空气,最后把我的灵魂溶解在大自然中。简单的和短期的享受可以给我带来极大的满足感。

我梦想有一天,成年人可以把他们的偏见的漫画和卡通了。他们可以保持一个可爱的心,可以与我们分享悲伤和快乐,而看卡通或做个人的事情。这是心与心的真正交流。

我相信我的梦想会成真。我期待着有一天的到来,当我像一只骄傲的鹰,飞向蓝色和广阔的天空。

Can money buy happiness? Different people have different opinions. Some think yes, while others hold the opposite.

It is true that with enough money one can buy all the things one wants, and live a life of comfort and security. However, it is equally true that lack of money causes great distress. It is a common view that "money is the root of all evil." The pursuit of money drives many people to cheat and steal. In some places there is nothing that cannot be bought with money, resulting in corrupt societies where everybody is miserable.

So, money does not necessarily mean happiness. It all depends on how it is used. If we make honest and sensible use of money, it can be a stepping-stone to happiness l Although money cannot buy happiness, it can make happiness possible if it is employed sensibly.

译文:

金钱能买到幸福吗?不同的人有不同的看法。有些人认为是的,而另一些人则持相反的想法。

这是真的,有足够的钱,人们可以买到一个人想要的一切东西,并过上舒适和安全的生活。然而,同样的事实是,缺乏资金会造成巨大的痛苦。“钱是一切罪恶的根源”是一种普遍的观点,对金钱的追求驱使许多人去欺骗和偷窃。在一些地方,没有什么是不能用金钱买来的,在腐败的社会,每个人都是悲惨的。

所以,金钱并不一定意味着幸福。这都取决于它是如何使用。如果我们诚信明智地使用金钱,它将是幸福的基石虽然金钱买不到幸福,但它可以使幸福成为可能。

Ladies and Gentlemen:

My topic is Honesty.

As a correspondent of the Qingdao Morning News, I visited Dr. James Gilman, the President of the International Committee for Marco Polo Studies in England. In this picture, this is James, and this is me and we are looking at a dragon’s tooth. This is a true story. /chuzhong/chusan/ 65 years ago, James lived in Qingdao. Then he was only 5 years old. He often visited the Aquarium and was fascinated by a creature on display there, which he thought was a dragon. He was afraid of its sharp teeth and wanted one to keep as a treasure. In the late 1930s, when the Japanese occupied Qingdao, his family had to leave. On his last day in Qingdao, he ran to the Aquarium and pulled out one of the teeth from the dragon’s mouth. He kept the tooth for the next 65 years, but the feeling of guilt at having stolen it was there in the background all through his life. It was always on his conscience, and the feeling intensified as he became older. Finally he decided to put right his childish error. In 20xx, he visited Qingdao and returned it to the Aquarium with his sincere apologies. He received a warm welcome. When James visited Qingdao, I accompanied him all the time and reported on his visit. I was deeply touched by his honesty. It has taught me a lot. I think to err is human. The important thing is to have the courage to admit and correct one’s error. Honesty is a vital quality of human behaviour. So we should try to keep an honest mind in everything we say and do. I would like to say to all of my friends: Let’s be honest people of good moral character.

Thank you.

Opportunities and Challenges

First, I would like to know, what does your destiny offer you? Happiness, wisdom, a strong body or something else. If I had asked this question to president Nixon, he would probably had said,”Our destiny offers not the cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity.”

Needless to say, one of the biggest opportunities given to China is the 2019 Olympic Games. Till now, we have used two sevenths of the preparation time. How much changes have you seen? New roads, new subway lines, public-exercising equipments with beautiful colors, large blocks of grass fields, and also lots of modern gyms which are under construction.

Other than those, there are even more good effects brought to us by the Olympic Games that cannot be seen directly. For example, more and more people will get to know China. I’m sure the mysterious Chinese culture will attract them strongly. And the games will also do good to the economy and environment, for it is gaining the attention of foreign investors and the awareness of environmental protection is being strengthened. What is more, Olympic Games give a unique opportunity to inspire and educate a new generation of Chinese youth with the Olympic values and the Olympic spirit. Now that we have seen so many advances, could you even imagine us losing the holding rights?

I’ve already said a lot about the Olympics and China. But I think everyone should use some time to think of this question, ”Does the Olympic Games have any special meaning to you?”

For us, I mean the Chinese youth, 2019 Olympic Games is a tremendous gift. Because what we are waiting for is to do something significant as repaying the love given to us society is just like a ship, and in our dreams the captain is waving his hand and saying ”Hey! Come here and take the helm! ”How charming his voice is, but we have never heard of it in our true life. This morning, however, when we wake up, we will see the Olympic Games waving its hand. After chewing, most of us will have at least one plan about what to do for the Olympic Games. And mine is to be a “comforter” ----that is someone who will give comfort to others.

At the end of my speech, I hope all the preparation will go well, and everyone will show their ability to the world. Let us seize opportunities and give a big smile to challenges.

Gentlemen of the Jury:

The best friend a man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name may become traitors to their faith.

The money that a man has, he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us, may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads.

The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer.

He will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounters with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings, and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens.

If fortune drives the master forth, an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard him against danger, to fight against his enemies. And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by the graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even in death.

Good afternoon,ladies and gentlemen!

I’m very honored to stand here and give you a short speech! To begin with ,I want to ask a question everybody dream a good dream last night? Actually ,today I want to talk about dream with you. Of course, What I want to talk is not a dream you have last night,but a dream—— about life.

Everyone has dreams about life, different dreams at different life stage,and we need dreams to support us. Dreams are like the stars we never reach in the sky,but like most mariners,we can chart our course by them. With the dream,we have a direction,with a direction, we were no longer the dream, there is hope,With hope, we have the strength to fight.

I have a dream: To be a doctor.,because doctor may relieve the pain of patients. May let the human change the health. At the same time, I believed that, those who help others may be able to obtain joyfully. Therefore, I hoped in the near future ,I might be a doctor.

But I know,life is tough,and there are always ups and downs, maybe we fail in the way to our aims,and we may feel depressed ,whenever at this time, the dream in our heart can always comfort us, encourage us ,and support us to move ahead .

Young!Fortunately, I am young now. Just due to it, I know that nothing is impossible.I firmly believe that nothing can stand in my way. If I can't realize my dream,it result from that I haven't work harder enough and I won't find other excuses. If no people believe you, you can make it to prove that you are right. If you think the god haven't blessed you and there is no truth here, you can become the god and create the truth.

"My breath swallows the sky and make the yellow river overflow, my sword is famous in Kyushu and it can collapse the five sacred mountains." At some time in the past I also had am bitious words and I had some achievements. Each achievement results from my hard work. I always believe that "If you want to have more achievements than others, you must work harder." In some extent, the dream is the hope. If you can insist on doing something, the victory will come.

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today. Let's--- move ----out!

Thank you for your listening!

Dear teachers and the classmate, everybody!

From 1945 to 20xx, whole 63 of spring and autumn passed.

A hundred years ago, our neighbour Japan, through the Meiji restoration lead onto the bourgeois road, the comprehensive national strength beyond China. So, the once was China's subsidiary resources poor small start chasing China is a vast land the grandeur of jiangshan, they repeatedly with aggression against China, while we once the great country, this time also can only be bullied because of our own sovereignty, cannot on the enemy strong resistance.

Fortunately justice will ultimately prevail over evil. From 1937 to 1945, the Chinese civil exactly eight years time to give the Japanese militarism invading devastated, the aftermath of Japanese militarism in unity of the Chinese people and the world anti-fascist countries before the people of have to pick up the tail and bowed his head. Therefore, it can be said that anti-fascist war's victory was the entire Chinese nation a great event in the history, it is the Chinese people's regrouped, elated, also be the start of the Chinese nation "punch in the east Asia" signs, to stand tall in rank among the beginning.

But unfortunately, such a promising start without a hitch. Civil war, the cultural revolution and the post-war whole world especially many Asian countries economic takeoff first opportunity we missed, China's development through bumpy. Although, our life today and international status has and sixty years ago in contradistinction, but we are not real sense of "power", our comprehensive national strength and Japan still has the very big disparity between. It is for this reason that Japan always in an arrogant attitude towards China, in anti-fascism war 60th anniversary today, their government in correct treatment of history, the attitude is still ambiguity prime minister junichiro koizumi repeated visits to the yasukuni shrine, Congressman publicly denying class-a war criminals crimes.

Comrades, classmates, please close your eyes, you hear me, in war soldiers soul in battle cry, cause death in the war of 35 million people's souls cry... (suggest pause thirty seconds)

A famous adage well said: forgiveness, but don't forget. On the one hand, in state, nation and personal relationship, orlakers-spurs things omnipresent, if no forgiveness, will cause to avenge the are reported. On the other hand, historical facts and the lessons of history can't forget. History will not simple repetition, new international relational schema, hysterical militarism no more market. But at the same time, we also have to see more than 60 years ago we not far from the war, when the Japanese fascist are flagrant, unbridled ground invasion of China, is simply because the Chinese national people poor, weak economic backwardness, and today, and led to war and disaster culture gene, benefit driving still exist, americans still need to be vigilant.

At present, the scientific technology revolution in full swing, third world economic leap development, with the world closer ties of economic development in China is faced with the best time, history tells us, peace and stability of the Chinese nation can let us seize the opportunity of zte. Victory in the Anti-Japanese War on the 60th anniversary of I want to fellow teachers, every colleague and the classmate say: the war and revenge don't for us to win respect, assiduous socks, this is we celebrate victory, memorial YingLie, the best way to remember the history!

My speech, thank everybody!
