1、if there is no money, i cant use this microphone to speak to you and we cant have such a room to hold such a competition. without money, we cant study in such a schoolyard. without money, we cant live in such a hometown. without money, we cant have such a motherland. on the other hand, if there is n

2、o money, you dont need to bear my speech about money now.most of us have dreams about the future, dreams of having a good job and making much money. surely someone has thought at times “if only i had a lot of money, i could be the happiest person in the world.” in fact its the main mistake that peop

3、le make about money.however, is money the road to happiness? not really! many people work every day, work overtime, work weekends to make a lot of money. are they happy? no. they are too busy making money. meanwhile, their personal lives, if they have any, fall apart. they have no time to form or to

4、 maintain friendship. they even lose the abilities to relax and to enjoy themselves. enjoying means taking things, taking time to see, to hear, to taste, to smell, to feel. they do not take time to do this. they say: “ill do it when i have enough money to retire” then they find that it is too late.w

5、hy we usually make such a mistake and even more mistakes? activists say it is because of money itself. they think money has changed many things. for example, they think money has changed our way to measure someones value in the society. they even regard money as the source of evil. also, they hate m

6、oney, but they are wrong, completely wrong.in my opinion, it is unfair to money. money is a tool. well, theres no denying that we do something harmful with money. but we cant say money is the source of evil. just like a hammer, we can use a hammer to kill someone, but can we say a hammer is a devil?

7、 it is the same with money.money is neither good nor bad itself. it is a mirror, a perfect and important mirror, and a mirror that reflects both the darkness and the brilliance of humanity. in other words, all depend on us.so, my fellow students, ladies and gentlemen in the future, ask not what we c

8、an do for money, ask what money can do for us, ask what money can do to show the brilliance of humanity. because, we have the future; we are the future.第二篇：prepared speech honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen, good morning. first of all, let me take this chance to present to you a set of data that

9、 i hope wont bore you since the source is china daily. chinas tourism revenue last year reached 500 billion rmb, an increase of 10.5 percent from the year before, and comprised more than 5% of chinas gdp. according to experts, this number will grow to 8% in the coming ten years and more than 40 mill

10、ion jobs will be created. as a student majoring in economics, i cant be more sensitive to the essential meanings behind these numbers. they mean progress, prosperity, employment and stability. however, as a conscientious chinese and citizen of the world, i cant help but care more about the losses in

11、curred in this transaction, by which i mean the disturbing images of environmental destruction, which leads to ecological crisis. the global environment has changed for the worse during the past few years, and tourism is partly to blame. take china for example, in order to attract tourists, many unk

12、nown places are built into resorts. forests are cleared, prairies trampled, rivers and lakes 6）contaminated, wild animals are driven away, plants jeopardized and secluded populations disturbed. if this seems too remote and abstract, my own traveling experience may speak louder here. last year i took

13、 a tour around emei mountain in sichuan province. like most tourists, i was eager to embrace nature and enjoy its beauty. however, as soon as i got on the bus, the stench of gasoline and the noise of the engine tainted my appreciation of the wonderful scenery and the tranquility of the country road.

14、 when we finally arrived, what i saw was not a beautiful landscape but crowds of people; what i heard was not the melodious singing of birds, but yelling and bargaining from the gift shops; what i smelled was not the fresh mountain air, but stinking suffocating smoke coming out of small dirty restau

15、rants. moreover, i could not understand why the lovely monkeys living there had to take photos with tourists all day; why the beautiful butterflies and flowers had become lifeless samples in shop windows; why the strongest impressions i had was trash scattered everywhere on the ground. however, this

16、 is not the end of the story. before i left emei, i met a group of kids in an ecotourism program with the slogan: “experiencing, learning and protecting.” when i saw their young hands picking up trash from the ground, when i felt their enjoyment and harmonious relationship with the animals, when i f

17、ound their purest eyes filled with passion and love for nature, i realized to my great satisfaction that there doesnt have to be a tradeoff between tourism and ecology, because deep within us is an inclination toward natural beauty and a desire to protect it. yes, environmental problems will eventua

18、lly ease with the advancement of science and technology and improvement of our management system. however, an increase of ecological education and hands-on environmental involvement of our fellow citizens will do even better. to realize this, the best way for us lies in tourism itself because nothin

19、g other than nature can teach us how to love and cherish our sweetest home. at the end of my speech, please let me quote bob dylan:第三篇：英语演讲稿speech paper英语演讲稿speech paperthank you!chief justice rehnquist, president carter, president bush， president clinton, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens

20、, the peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history, yet common in our country. with a simple oath, we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings.as i begin, i thank president clinton for his service to our nation.and i thank vice president gore for a contest conducted with spirit and ended w

21、ith grace.i am honored and humbled to stand here, where so many ofamericas leaders have come before me, and so many will follow.we have a place, all of us, in a long story - a story we continue, but whose end we will not see. it is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the o

22、ld, a story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer.it is the american story - a story of flawed and fallible people, united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals

23、.the grandest of these ideals is an unfolding american promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance, that no insignificant person was ever born.americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws. and though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed

24、, we must follow no other course.through much of the last century, americas faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea. now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations.our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ide

25、al we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along. and even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel.while many of our citizens prosper, others doubt the promise,even the justice, of our own country. the ambitions of some americans are limited by failing schools and hidden p

26、rejudice and thecircumstances of their birth. and sometimes our differences run so deep, it seems we share a continent, but not a country.we do not accept this, and we will not allow it. our unity, our union, is the serious work of leaders and citizens in everygeneration. and this is my solemn pledg

27、e: i will work to build a single nation of justice and opportunity.i know this is in our reach because we are guided by a power larger than our selves who creates us equal in his image.and we are confident in principles that unite and lead us onward.america has never been united by blood or birth or

28、 soil. we are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens. every child must be taught these principles. every citizen must uphold them. andevery immigrant, by embracing these ideals, makes our country more, not less, amer

29、ican.today, we affirm a new commitment to live out our nations promise through civility, courage, compassion and character.america, at its best, matches a commitment to principle with a concern for civility. a civil society demands from each of us good will and respect, fair dealing and forgiveness.

30、some seem to believe that our politics can afford to be petty because, in a time of peace, the stakes of our debates appear small.but the stakes for america are never small. if our country does not lead the cause of freedom, it will not be led. if we do not turn the hearts of children toward knowled

31、ge and character, we will lose their gifts and undermine their idealism. if we permit our economy to drift and decline, the vulnerable will suffer most.we must live up to the calling we share. civility is not a tactic or a sentiment. it is the determined choice of trust over cynicism, of community o

32、ver chaos. and this commitment, if we keep it, is a way to shared accomplishment.america, at its best, is also courageous.our national courage has been clear in times of depression and war, when defending common dangers defined our common good. now we must choose if the example of our fathers and mothers will inspire us or condemn us. we must show courage in a time of blessing byconfronting problems instead of passing them on to future gener
