英语演讲稿 篇1

Thank you very much!非常感谢!在接下来的时间里,我将和大家一起分享一下学英语的苦辣酸甜。最主要的,是想通过我在北大六年教学经历、美国六年生活经历、“新东方”六年教学经历,来和大家交流一下怎能样尽快的提高大家的listeing and speaking comprehensions.

我的经历具体是这样的:我是1980年从内蒙古考到北大的,比大家高了好多届。我在北大学英文,然后又在北大教书。教书六年之后,在1990年,我求学到美国。我发现到了,美国一下飞机,我一句话也听不懂。当时我想,至少我学了几年英文,所以打算继续学英文。正在我在考虑到哪里去的时候,我听到一种说法,叫做everybody in American can speak English。那么我又怎么能够在美国赚钱呢?所以,我必须改变这个想法。于是我该学了学计算机。计算机硕士毕业以后,我在美国的贝尔实验室做了两年的软件工程师。在1995年,“新东方”的创始人俞敏洪来到了美国,在他的建议下,我有回国,开始参加“新东方”的创建。我和俞敏洪在北大是同班同学——“新东方”的五个“创业元老”里有三个是北大的同学。除了我们两个还有一个是“新东方”的图书总策划包凡一老师,他是“新东方”的写作专家。我在大学时代是他们的班长,他们两个当时是全班最落后的学生。我那时的主要精力和时间都花在每天晚上陪他们两个在湖畔散步,劝

他们不要跳下去。我告诉他们说:“你们将来一定会成才的。”到了96年,我在新东方担任副校长的时候,有一个大学生就问我说:“王老师,你上大学时四年都是他们的班长,你现在却是他们的副校长,你的心理平衡怎么找?”我说:“不用找,我现在心理是最平衡的。我当初当班长最大的夙愿就是帮助这两个后进青年成才。今天看到他们已经纷纷成才了,我的夙愿已经了了。平衡彻底找到了。”——我们的确都要找到一个平衡的方法,只有心态平衡下来,你才能够干成伟大的事业。

在美国的时候我学计算机之前,还有一段小插曲。那就是我险些报考了哈佛的人力学系。我离开北大之后,吸引我的学校只有两所,一所是英国的牛津大学,就是Oxford University;另一所呢就是Harvard University。那时候,哈佛大学人力学系的系主任,对我进行了面试之后觉得可以录取我,并且提出可以给我提供五年的Scholarship。他说:“你只要答应我一个条件,”我说:“什么条件?”——这个教授研究的是非常偏的一个科目,所以招生好多年都没有找到一个合适的学生。他是在人力学系研究中国文化中苗族文化的。——他说:“只要你跟我学苗语,我就给你奖学金。”我说:“可以。”但是,我冷静下来之后想:我拿了这些钱,在五年之内,过的是天上人间的日子。就算不能从哈佛大学毕业,也能够肄业。将来至少能够跟孙子夸口说,爷爷当年进过哈佛。但是这还不行,因为我拿到这个学位,最终的目的是要找个饭碗。我就考虑,在北美这样大片的土地上,有多少地方需要我这样的人才呢?——苗族文化专家。通过“研究”,我发现,全北美只有一个地方需要,就是哈佛大学、人力学系、这位老师。所以,如果全北美只有一个机会,他的目标里只有我一个人,那么这个机会对我来说是百分之百的!但是,五年之后,我仍然处于一个非常劣势的地位。我如果能在哈佛大学拿到学位,接下来的梦想就是当上哈佛大学的教授、终身教授。美国大学关于终身教授的规定:只要这个教授不去世,你就别想替代他。我想,万一我六十岁就“夭折“了,那位教授八十多岁还健在,我也还是助教。想到这儿,我就对那位教授说:“I want to learn something different。”

当时是1990年,计算机在美国变得popular。而且招生的指标还有70个,我觉得这是个attract opportunity,于是决定学计算机。如果学计算机,我就可以成为一个“计算机科学家”,就可以make money。但当时,我已经十年没摸过数学了,计算机也从来没有接触过。我想,我能不能学计算机呢?我用亚里士多德的“三段论”来推导这个问题:计算机是人发明的东西,凡是人都应该懂人发明的东西。最后,如果我学不了计算机,我就不是人。得出这个结论之后,我就要做一些实际的调查,看一看计算机到底是什么。我到了纽约最大的书店,看看计算机架上到底有些什么书。其中有两架书,

上面都有两个共同的词,这两个词深深地吸引了我,那就是programming languages。我看见的其实只有一个词:languages。这个词说明我与计算机是有关系的——我想,汉语是一种language,英文是我的first foreign language,法语是我的二外语,德语是第三外语。这个“编程语言”与我所会的这四门语言一定有共同的地方,所以才能一样叫语言。于是,我就挑了一本书,看自己能不能读懂,结果发现没有一页读懂的。但是我发现了编程中很重要的一样东西,是逻辑流程。我就靠这两点——语言和逻辑,和纽约州立大学计算机系的系主任约会,说:“我是一个非常优秀的人才,你必须录取我。”他看了我的成绩单以后,说:“可是,你在北大学习的四年中,没有一门课程与教学和计算机有关。”我说:“请等一下,我给你陈述一下你为什么必须要我——哈佛大学正在在考虑录取我呢!另外,我有三点非常强的优势。第一,计算机与其他机器相比最重要的特点是它能安装软件,那么什么是软件呢?”他说:“programs 。”我又问:“那么我们用什么来写这个programs呢?”他说:“language。”我说:“那你再看看我的成线单,最重要的一个词是什么?”老师说:“language。”我说:“我已经掌握了四门语言,再学一门方言是易如反掌。”教授说:“有道理。”然后我又说:“计算机能够工作,它离不开人预设的.逻辑。我在北大做了六年老师,做老师最大的特点就是训练一个人的逻辑思维结构。我已经

完成了作为一个计算机工作者最基本的训练。第三点,我是搞English的,受到的是想象力的训练。想象力,冠以科学术语就是抽象能力、能够把复杂的东西变成简单的问题的能力。这三点加起来,我足以和这些学计算机的本科学生抗衡了。”他说:“very interesting!你可以把你刚才说的东西写成论文来发表。”我说:“我今天来的目的不是要写文章,是要求你录取我。”他说:“好!”我就这样被录取了。当然,此后的学习过程是暗无天日的,但我还是坚持下来了。我用了半年时间补习了美国大学计算机本科四年的所有主干课程,以全A的成绩进入了硕士研究生的学习。然后用两年读完了硕士课程,在毕业的前夕又非常幸运地进入了美国最好的计算机公司——贝尔实验室。,这时的我沉浸在一个中产阶级的生活里,一个科学工作者成功的兴奋里。

英语演讲稿 篇2

when i was nine years old i went off to summer camp for the first time. and my mother packed me a suitcase full of books, which to me seemed like a perfectly natural thing to do. because in my family, reading was the primary group activity. and this might sound antisocial to you, but for us it was really just a different way of being social. you have the animal warmth of your family sitting right next to you, but you are also free to go roaming around the adventureland inside your own mind. and i had this idea that camp was going to be just like this, but better. (laughter) i had a vision of 10 girls sitting in a cabin cozily reading books in their matching nightgowns.

(laughter)

"'i live 17 miles from here.' i replied. 'my car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. it didn't. instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. i'm still able to teach my class, and i've been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class. if my car was meant to break down today, it couldn't have been arranged in a more convenient fashion.'

the secretary's eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. i smiled back and headed for class." so ended my story.

i scanned the sixty faces in my economics class at unlv. despite the early hour, no one seemed to be asleep. somehow, my story had touched them. or maybe it wasn't the story at all. in fact, it had all started with a student's observation that i was cheerful.

deepak chopra has quoted an indian wise man as saying, "who you are speaks louder to me than anything you can say." i suppose it must be so.

camp was more like a keg party without any alcohol. and on the very first day our counselor gathered us all together and she taught us a cheer that she said we would be doing every day for the rest of the summer to instill camp spirit. and it went like this: "r-o-w-d-i-e, that's the way we spell rowdie. rowdie, rowdie, let's get rowdie." yeah. so i couldn't figure out for the life of me why we were supposed to be so rowdy, or why we had to spell this word incorrectly. (laughter) but i recited a cheer. i recited a cheer along with everybody else. i did my best. and i just waited for the time that i could go off and read my books.

I have a wonderful dream in my heart。 It's to speak English very well。Since English is everything for me。 English is my best friend.English is mysoul。 English is my power。 Without English,I'm nothing at all。 Nothing。 Now,Ican think in English,speak in English,and write in English.

So I work very hard.

英语演讲稿 篇4

Only mother love is true love 's gives everybody everything in all his life ,When you are still a baby ,mother takes good care of you as much as your waking hour she always holds you in her you are ill,she stop her work right now to look after you day and night and forgets about you are growing up day by day,she feels very you are old enough to go to school,mother still looks after you all the cold winter days,she always tells you to put on more always stands in the window waiting for you back from you are hurry to leave home for school for breakfast ,she feels worried about you at usually knows about your study and spends much money on your school things you do well at school will see the brightset smile on her face.

Mother is ailways ready to give everything she has to her children ,not to receive.

What true love that is in the world !We will remember Mother love forever .

Every one of us,rich or poor,should at least have one or two good friends will listen to me when I want to speak,will wipe my eyes when I cry,will take care of me when I am sick,and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.

As students,we could share more time with our friendship in our young hearts is pure,fresh and simple.I often feel very lucky to have a lot of good cially when I had Justin as one of my best in was my English teacher from the USA.I met him in 1996 when I was a student who could only speak very little in was a vivid young man with a bright smile on his face,and he always had his special way to make the class active and taught us English by telling stories,playing games,singing songs,and even dancing.I could still remember very clearly that one afternoon when we fin-ished our class,we went to some other classes to sing songs for them,just like what people do in the states on Christmas was so interesting and in was an excellent teacher,because he taught us not only how to study English well,but also the way to find out the beauty of the world and the way to be angels to others' lives.I know there was friendship and pure love in our ng this valuable emotion neither nationality nor age was important,the real importance lay in faith,under-standing,and in is the best friend I have ever had,and I know I will cherish those days of staying together with him as the best part of my memory.

Friendship is a kind of treasure in our is actually like a bottle of wine,the longer it is kept,the sweeter it will is also like a cup of we are thirsty,it will be our best choice,but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves,it is also the most fragrant drink.

英语演讲稿 篇5

but the first time that i took my book out of my suitcase, the coolest girl in the bunk came up to me and she asked me, "why are you being so mellow?" -- mellow, of course, being the exact opposite of r-o-w-d-i-e. and then the second time i tried it, the counselor came up to me with a concerned expression on her face and she repeated the point about camp spirit and said we should all work very hard to be outgoing.

and so i put my books away, back in their suitcase, and i put them under my bed, and there they stayed for the rest of the summer. and i felt kind of guilty about this. i felt as if the books needed me somehow, and they were calling out to me and i was forsaking them. but i did forsake them and i didn't open that suitcase again until i was back home with my family at the end of the summer.

now, i tell you this story about summer camp. i could have told you 50 others just like it -- all the times that i got the message that somehow my quiet and introverted style of being was not necessarily the right way to go, that i should be trying to pass as more of an extrovert. and i always sensed deep down that this was wrong and that introverts were pretty excellent just as they were. but for years i denied this intuition, and so i became a wall street lawyer, of all things, instead of the writer that i had always longed to be -- partly because i needed to prove to myself that i could be bold and assertive too. and i was always going off to crowded bars when i really would have preferred to just have a nice dinner with friends. and i made these self-negating choices so reflexively, that i wasn't even aware that i was making them.

now this is what many introverts do, and it's our loss for sure, but it is also our colleagues' loss and our communities' loss. and at the risk of sounding grandiose, it is the world's loss. because when it comes to creativity and to leadership, we need introverts doing what they do best. a third to a half of the population are introverts -- a third to a half. so that's one out of every two or three people you know. so even if you're an extrovert yourself, i'm talking about your coworkers and your spouses and your children and the person sitting next to you right now -- all of them subject to this bias that is pretty deep and real in our society. we all internalize it from a very early age without even having a language for what we're doing.

now to see the bias clearly you need to understand what introversion is. it's different from being shy. shyness is about fear of social judgment. introversion is more about, how do you respond to stimulation, including social stimulation. so extroverts really crave large amounts of stimulation, whereas introverts feel at their most alive and their most switched-on and their most capable when they're in quieter, more low-key environments. not all the time -- these things aren't absolute -- but a lot of the time. so the key then to maximizing our talents is for us all to put ourselves in the zone of stimulation that is right for us.
