(96年“21世纪杯全国大学生英语演讲比赛”二等奖获得者,北京外国语大学 徐义成)
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 soc ……此处隐藏2549个字…… 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 .
thank you, thanks for your listening.
