第1篇 英語演講稿：經驗助你成功

dear all,

e_perience makes you succeedi still remembered the first time when i became a technical secondary school teacher of english literature. it seemed that it happened yesterday.

at that day, i got quite ready and i had the confidence to be a good teacher. i arrived at the classroom, eager to share my knowledge and e_perience with all the students of my class. having prepared for two days, i had no doubt to hold their attention and to impress on them my admiration for the literature.

“stand up!” the monitor spoke loudly. the entire class stood up as i entered the classroom. i was a little puzzled, but quickly that awkwardness was over, i regained my calmness and began my well-prepared lecture, sure to gain their respect--- or even their admiration. ‘i’m your english, miss jiang. today we are going to learn . . . ’ i was very pleased with work . as the bell rang, i went back to my office full of a sense of achievement. the following day when i read my students’ diaries, the rosy glow was gradually replaced by a strong sense of sadness. the first diary said, “our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today. perhaps her ne_t lecture would be better.” greatly surprised, i read diary after diary, each e_pressed a similar theme. “didn’t i teach them anything? i described the entire framework and laid the background for the passage we would study in class,” i puzzled. “how should they say i taught them nothing?”

it was a long term, and it gradually became clear that my ideas about education weren’t the same as those of my students. i thought a teacher’s job was to raise interesting questions and provide enough background so that students could draw their own conclusions. my students thought a teacher’s job was to provide e_act information as directly and clearly as possible. what a difference! i tell myself i can handle it.’ compared to what others have been through , i’m fortunate. thinking of these sentences i felt something important struck me. i believe my life would not be that bad and it was proved to be true. later during my life and work i always told myself ‘i can handle it.’ when my own goals seemed far off or when my problems seemed too overwhelming. and every time i said it, i always came back to my senses.

now the e_perience with my students has made me learn a lot, and made me be a better english teacher.

the following year, it was september 10th. i went to class as well. when i stepped into the class, i felt surprised. there was a post card on the table, but i didn’t show it on my face. i began teaching lessons. after the class, i walked out of the class with a card in my hand. i opened the card in the office, it was a music card with words on it. it said ‘many thanks to you, miss jiang. we all love you we like your teaching.’ i was impressed by the words. how honest and simple the words were. hot tears couldn’t help dropping. at that time, i was so proud of being an english teacher.

so here, coming to us are words that can give us strength. whatever you’re going through, tell yourself you can handle it. tell this to yourself over and over, and it will help you get through the rough spots with little more fortitude.

第3篇 英語學習經驗介紹演講稿

各位家長：

大家好！我是初一（六）班的馬皓軒，下面我來介紹我學習英語的經驗。

通過反思期中考試的錯誤，我發(fā)現(xiàn)一個很重要的部分：基礎知識。

基礎知識是作文、選擇、完形等題的重要組成部分，也就是說，基礎知識不扎實，各種題都有可能失分，而這種失分是最令人遺憾與痛心的。上個學期的英語期中考試，當我拿到成績時，我發(fā)現(xiàn)許許多多的錯誤不是在閱讀和完形上，而是在一些不經意的小細節(jié)上。這種小細節(jié)只要多加一個字母就可以寫對、只要多看一眼就能發(fā)現(xiàn)。但在考試中，做完試卷后，自己檢查是很難發(fā)現(xiàn)的。后來我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己步入了一個誤區(qū)，對基礎知識重視不夠?；A知識是最簡單的但也是最重要的。

許多人面對這個問題時總是用不認真、不仔細來解釋，但這不是根源。前面提到，即使去檢查也不一定能查出來，而且還會浪費一些思考偏難題的時間。因此，一次做對是關鍵。但怎樣才能一次做對呢？首先，要重視熟練。古人說熟能生巧，只有多做練習才能做到熟練，心中掛一個警鐘，一遇到這種題小心就能避免出錯。經常做練習，看到這些題就能不假思索寫出正確答案，這樣就比我們草草做完，回頭花大量時間去檢查要好的多。

當然，英語學習并不只是這么一點，同時需我們多進行一些詞匯量的擴展。課外閱讀是一個很好的方法。我們手中的空中英語教室就是一個很好的選擇。遇到不懂的單詞多查，多問。擴充我們的詞匯庫。

掌握以上幾個要點，再加上勤奮。我相信，每個人都可以在英語考試中運籌帷幄。以上是我學習英語的一點小經驗。我希望大家都能重視基礎知識，學好英語。謝謝大家！

第4篇 ted英語演講：12個最寶貴的人生經驗

12 truths i learned from life and writing

演講者：anne lamott

| 中文演講稿 |

我七歲大的孫子就睡在我隔壁的房間，他常常在清晨醒來，然后說，“你知道，今天也許會是最棒的一天?！币灿械臅r候，在午夜時分，他會怯生生的問我，“奶奶，你也會生病和死亡嗎?“

我想，我和大多數(shù)我認識的人可能都是這樣，我們同時擁有著樂觀與恐懼的情緒。所以在我61歲生日的前幾天，我坐下來，決定把我確信的一切都列出來。流行文化中的真理太少了，能看清一些事實是有益的。

比方說，我已經不再是47歲了，雖然我依然覺得自己才47歲，我也希望自己一直是47歲。我的朋友保羅在他80歲將至時曾說，他覺得自己是個身體出了點故障的年輕人。

真正的我們不因時間和空間而改變，但是當我看到那些文書，事實上，我能認識到自己是1954年出生的。我的內在不因時間和空間而改變，它沒有年齡。我存在于我所活過的每一個年齡，你也一樣，雖然我不得不提一句如果我當時沒有遵循60年代那一套護膚理論可能會對我大有好處，那會建議你盡可能多曬太陽，并涂抹厚厚的嬰兒油然后拿錫箔反光板來吸收更多陽光。

不過，面對現(xiàn)實也是一種解脫，我再也不用在中年之際作最后的掙扎，我也決定寫下我所知道的每一件真相。近來，人們感到非常絕望和茫然，他們不斷問我什么是真的。所以我希望這些我確信的事情可以向那些不知所措或陷入困境的人提供一些基本的指引。

第一：第一個也是最真實的事情就是，所有真相都是有對立面的。生命是精美絕倫的無價之寶，同時從另一方面看，它又是完全相反的。這對我們這些天生敏感的人來說，真是不相匹配啊。人生如此艱辛，以至于有時候我們懷疑自己是不是被耍了。生命同時充滿了令人心碎的甜蜜和美麗，令人絕望的貧困，以及洪水、嬰兒、粉刺和莫扎特，全都纏繞在一起。我不認為這是一個理想的體系。

第二：如果你把插頭拔掉幾分鐘，幾乎所有事情都能恢復運轉——(笑聲)(掌聲)你們也是。

第三：幾乎不存在什么外在的力量

可以長久的幫助你自己，除非你在等器官移植。你無法買到或獲取心靈的安寧。這是最可怕的事實，我非常憎恨它。但這是一項自身的工作，我們無法為世上最愛的人去安排一份寧靜或持續(xù)的改善。他們必須找到自己的路和自己的答案。你不能在孩子成為英雄的征程中替他們擋風遮雨。你必須給他們自由。不這么做就是不尊重他們。更何況當別人遇到問題的時候，你可能也不知道到底該怎么辦。(笑聲)我們的幫助常常沒什么用，往往還是有害的。

所謂“幫助”就是“控制”的褒義詞。別老是幫忙啦。別再老是施以你的援手和友善。(笑聲)(掌聲)

這也牽引出第四條：每個人都是糟糕的、破碎的、依賴的、膽小的，

甚至有的人同時擁有這些負面情緒，要相信他們其實和你差不多，所以不要拿自己的內在與別人的外表比較，這只會讓你感到雪上加霜。(笑聲)同時，你無法拯救他們或是讓他們認清事實。

30年前幫助我變得清醒的是我行為和思想帶來的巨大災難。當時我請求一些理智的朋友幫我，我也求助于更強大的力量。“上帝”一詞可以看做是“絕望中的禮物”的縮寫，g-o-d,(兩者拼寫的首字母相同)或者像一個清醒的朋友說的，到頭來，我墮落的速度比我降低底線的速度還要快。(笑聲)所以在這種情況下，“上帝”的意思是，“我已經沒什么好主意了。”

當修復、挽救、和拯救都變成徒勞，積極的自我保護就是量子，這種力量被你激發(fā)后飄散在空氣中，就像新鮮空氣一樣。這是給世界的一份大禮。當人們回應說，“好吧，她是不是太自我了?”只要像蒙娜麗莎一樣微微一笑，然后給彼此都倒杯好茶就好。能包容一個人的憨傻、自我中心、暴躁、討厭是家。家是讓世界和平開始的地方。

第五：可可含量75%的巧克力不可以稱作是食物。它的最佳用途是作為蛇陷阱里的誘餌或者用來墊椅子腿來防止晃動。它從未被認為是可以食用的。

第六——寫作。你認識的每一個作家，初稿寫得都很糟糕，但他們會堅持釘坐在椅子上。這就是生活的秘密。這也許就是你們之間的主要區(qū)別。他們想做就去做了。他們在做之前就預先準備好了。他們把這當做一種義務。他們講述自己曾經歷過的故事，一天一點、一點一點地講出來。在我哥哥上四年級的時候，有次有關于鳥類的學期論文，第二天就要交，然而他還沒有開始寫。于是我爸爸在他身旁坐下來，拿著一本audubon的書、一些紙張、鉛筆和兩腳釘——知道兩腳釘?shù)亩疾辉倌贻p了吧——然后他對我哥哥說，“一只鳥一只鳥的寫，孩子。先讀一些關于鵜鶘的東西然后用你自己的理解把鵜鶘的知識寫下來。接著找到山雀，然后用你自己的理解告訴我們山雀的知識。再然后是鵝?！?/p>

所以寫作最重要的兩點：一只鳥一只鳥的寫和慘不忍睹的初稿。如果你不知道從哪開始，記得那些發(fā)生在你身上的事，它們每件都屬于你，你就直接說出來。如果人們希望你把他們寫得更溫和一些，那他們應該表現(xiàn)得更好。

也許某天你清醒了會覺得糟糕透了，因為你發(fā)現(xiàn)你從來沒寫過那些一直牽扯著你的內心的東西，比如你的故事，回憶，幻想，與歌曲--你的真實，你對事物的看法--用你自己的聲音，那些都是你必須要帶給我們的東西，也是你生命的意義。

第七：你必須要從出版發(fā)行和短暫創(chuàng)造出的成就中恢復過來。這些名利殺死了迷失其中的人。它們會以你無法想象的方式傷害你、改變你。我所認識的最墮落和邪惡的人是一些出版過超級暢銷書的男作家。這又說回第一點：所有事都是有對立面的。把你的作品出版當然也是一個奇跡，可以讓你的故事被世人閱讀和聽聞。但要努力讓自己從出版發(fā)行的幻想中抽身，你以為出版發(fā)行可以治愈你，可以填滿你內心一個個如同瑞士干酪的洞。它不能。它也不會。但是寫作本身可以。在合唱團或藍草樂隊(鄉(xiāng)村音樂)唱歌也可以。在社區(qū)作壁畫或觀鳥也可以。或者養(yǎng)一條其他人都不想養(yǎng)的老狗也可以治愈你。

第八：家庭。無論家人有多么珍貴和精彩，家庭生活都是難、難、難。參見第一條。

如果在家庭聚會上，你突然很想殺人或自殺--

記住，在所有情況下，我們每一個人的孕育和誕生都是一個奇跡。地球是一個教會我們寬恕的學校。從原諒自己開始，你最好從坐在餐桌前開始。這樣，你還能穿著舒服的褲子來做這件事。

當williamblake說，我們在這世上是要學會承受愛的光芒，他想說，你的家人會成為密不可分的一部分，即使你要為了你可愛的人生尖叫奔跑，但我保證，你能行。你能做到，灰姑娘，你能做到，然后你會感到大為驚奇。

第九：食物。試著做得更好一些。我想你明白我的意思。

第十—恩澤。恩澤是精神上的wd-40(一種除銹潤劑)或者是游泳圈。恩澤的神秘之處在于，上帝愛henrykissinger和vladimirputin，也愛我，就像他或她也愛你們剛出生的小孫子。想想看吧!

是恩澤改變了我們，治愈了我們，它也治愈了我們的世界。想要受到恩澤，就說“救命“，然后系好安全帶。恩澤會在你需要的時候出現(xiàn)，但它不會將你遺棄那里。遺憾的是，恩澤不會像鬼馬小精靈一樣。但是電話會響的，郵件會來的，盡管困難重重，你會得到屬于你自己的幽默感。笑聲真的是含著二氧化碳的圣潔。它幫助我們一次又一次地呼吸讓我們回歸最真的自我，這也帶給我們對生活和彼此的信心。記住，恩澤總是與我們相伴。

十一：上帝就是善良。他真的不那么可怕。它意味著神圣或是慈愛的，朝氣蓬勃的智慧，就像我們從偉大的deteriorata中知道的，宇宙中的松餅(此處指一首被惡搞的詩詞，里面說到上帝是宇宙中的松餅)。上帝的美名是：“不是我?！眅merson曾說地球上最幸福的人是那個從自然中學會了尊敬的人。所以到外面去走走，抬頭看看。我的牧師說你可以將蜜蜂困在無蓋玻璃瓶的底部，因為它們不會抬頭看，所以它們只會四處碰壁。走出去，抬頭看看，這是生活的秘密。

最后，死亡。第十二。哇，天哪。有時候至親的人死去真的難以承受，你永遠無法從悲痛中平復，無論老話怎么說，你不應該如此。我們基督徒喜歡把死亡想象成只是更換了住址，但無論如何，如果你不把心門封鎖，這個人就還將活在你的心中。就像leonardcohen說的，“萬物皆有裂痕，那將是光照進來的地方?！澳且矊俏覀兏械街孬@新生的地方。

而且，有些人會讓你在不適宜的時候，開懷大笑，那是個超贊的好消息。但他們的缺席也將是你一生的思鄉(xiāng)之夢。悲傷和朋友，時間和眼淚，會在一定程度上治愈你。眼淚將沐浴、洗禮、和滋潤你以及你一路走來的土地。

你知道上帝對摩西說的第一件事嗎?他說：“脫下你的鞋子?！币驗槟闼局厥鞘サ?，事實都是相反的。很難相信，但這是我所知道的最真實的事情。當你再年長一點，像我這般，你會意識到死亡和出生一樣神圣。也別擔心，繼續(xù)你的生活。只要你需要與周圍的親人一起面對死亡，那么死亡將會是簡單而溫柔的。你不會孤單的。不論等待我們的是什么他們都會幫你一同度過。正如ramdass所說，“說到底，我們只是互相把對方送回家?！?/p>

我想說的就是這些，但如果我想到別的東西，我會告訴你們的，謝謝你們。

謝謝你們。

能被邀請到這里我很驚喜，因為這兒不是我的領域，技術、設計或娛樂(ted的核心主題)。我的意思是，我更擅長談論信仰和寫作，以及相互協(xié)作之類的話題。所以我很驚訝，但是當他們告訴我可以做個演講，我說我很愿意。

(視頻聲)如果你不知道從哪里開始，記住發(fā)生在你身上的每件事都是你的，你得把它說出來。

(演講者)當今的美國人們都很害怕，覺得自己真的完蛋了，我只是想幫助人們獲得幽默感，明白這不是一個多大的問題。如果你采取行動，采取一個真正明智、友好善意的行動你就會感覺到友愛和友好。

e_perience makes you succeed

i still remembered the first time when i became a technical secondary school teacher of english literature. it seemed that it happened yesterday.

at that day, i got quite ready and i had the confidence to be a good teacher. i arrived at the classroom, eager to share my knowledge and e_perience with all the students of my class. having prepared for two days, i had no doubt to hold their attention and to impress on them my admiration for the literature.

“stand up!” the monitor spoke loudly. the entire class stood up as i entered the classroom. i was a little puzzled, but quickly that awkwardness was over, i regained my calmness and began my well-prepared lecture, sure to gain their respect--- or even their admiration. ‘i’m your english, miss jiang. today we are going to learn . . . ’ i was very pleased with work . as the bell rang, i went back to my office full of a sense of achievement.

the following day when i read my students’ diaries, the rosy glow was gradually replaced by a strong sense of sadness. the first diary said, “our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today. perhaps her ne_t lecture would be better.” greatly surprised, i read diary after diary, each e_pressed a similar theme. “didn’t i teach them anything? i described the entire framework and laid the background for the passage we would study in class,” i puzzled. “how should they say i taught them nothing?”

it was a long term, and it gradually became clear that my ideas about education weren’t the same as those of my students. i thought a teacher’s job was to raise interesting questions and provide enough background so that students could draw their own conclusions. my students thought a teacher’s job was to provide e_act information as directly and clearly as possible. what a difference!

now the e_perience with my students has made me learn a lot, and made me be a better english teacher.

the following year, it was september 10th. i went to class as well. when i stepped into the class, i felt surprised. there was a post card on the table, but i didn’t show it on my face. i began teaching lessons. after the class, i walked out of the class with a card in my hand. i opened the card in the office, it was a music card with words on it. it said ‘many thanks to you, miss jiang. we all love you we like your teaching.’ i was impressed by the words. how honest and simple the words were. hot tears couldn’t help dropping. at that time, i was so proud of being an english teacher.

第7篇 大學生英語演講：成功經驗

my definition of success

by chen heng 陳恒 上海外國語大學

獲得第五屆全國英語演講比賽冠軍)

專家點評:演講開頭用了一個寓言故事，十分生動，最后點出對成功的看法，達到了點題的效果。

“once upon a time， there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. to all the suitors who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king assigned three tasks to be accomplished, each ne_t to impossible. one day, into the king's palace came a handsome young prince...' well, you know the rest. the three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, with the prince claiming the princess's hand triumphantly.

and the ending is always the same, finishing with the line 'and they live happily every after.'

why aren't we tired of something so fanciful, so unrealistic, and, i would say, so unimaginative? how can a story like that endure generations of repetition`? because, i think, it is a typical success story. it is highly philosophical and symbolic. by implication, we see a 4-step definition of success: 1 ) a goal to be set. as represented by the beautiful princess; 2 ) challenges to be met, as represented by the three tasks; 3 ) the process of surmounting difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through; and 4 ) the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage.

the story not only caters to everyone's inward yearning for success, but also emphasizes the inseparability of the process and the result. the reward of success will be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous, and vice versa. if a person inherits his father's millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence. the term 'success', to be sure. will not sit still for easy definition. but as i understand it, the true meaning of success entails a combination of both the process and the satisfactory result of an endeavor. to clarify my view, let me give another analogy.

if we changed the rules of football, greatly enlarged the goal and sent away david seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another david, namely david beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings. if we further changed the rules by not allowing arsenal's defenders to defend, so that beckham needed only to lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all, because the meaning of winning would have disappeared. in accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, success acquires its value. the sense of attainment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes.

the concept of success is not constant but relative because the nature of difficulty is also relative. something you do effortlessly might pose a great difficulty for a handicapped person. in acquiring the ability to do the same as you can, he or she achieve success. that's why we greatly admire stephen hawking, because, though confined to a wheel chair, he has contributed greatly to the field of science.

i myself, a rather shy person by nature who easily suffer from stage fright, had to pluck up great courage to take part in a speech contest like this. i could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the university level contest.but i chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties. now here i am. if i come out first, it will be a great success for me. if i come out last-i hope this will not be the case-but if i come out last, i will not call my attempt a failure, but will also celebrate it as a true success, because part of my goal is my own character training-to do more assertive, to be brave in face of difficulties. for me, it is a meaningful step forward, small as it is, in the long journey toward the final success in my life, because i have truly gained by participating.

let us return to our handsome young prince and the 4-step definition of success. you my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of wealth, position and fame were not mentioned as part of the story, but rather, it emphasized the process of overcoming difficulties. the ancient wisdom had already defined the meaning of success, and this is my definition, too.

thank you.

譯文:成功之我見

“很久以前，有個國王，他的女兒貌美如花。老國王向所有來求婚的男士提出了三個任務作為挑戰(zhàn)，而每一項任務都異常艱巨，幾乎不可能完成。一天，來了一位年輕英俊的王子……”好了，下面的故事你們都知道了。三項任務在不同的版本中各不相同，但關鍵部分的情節(jié)都如出一轍:王子成功地過關，得到了公主的芳心。而故事的結局也都一樣，最后一句都寫道:“從此他們幸福地生活在一起。

為什么我們對如此美妙、如此不切實際,而我要說,如此缺乏想象力的東西這么樂此不疲呢?這樣的故事又如何能夠經歷幾代人的重復?我想，因為它是典型的成功的例子。故事的思想性很強，具有代表性。通過故事帶給我們的啟示，我們認識到了成功定義中的四個步驟;第一，目標的設定，有如故事里美麗的公主;第二，所遇到的困難和挑戰(zhàn)，就像三大任務;第三，克服困難的過程，故事中青年經歷重重難關可以作為象征;第四，就是成功的果實，如同幸福的婚姻。

這個故事不僅迎合了人們內心深處對成功的向往，也強調了過程和結果的不可分離。如果通往成功的道路崎嶇曲折，那么成功的回報必然碩果累累，反之亦然。如果一個人繼承了父輩的百萬家產而生活得輕松富足，那么，即使在物質上，他也不能算是個成功人士，因為，他的財富并沒有經過艱難困苦而獲得。確切地說，“成功”這個詞，不是個靜態(tài)簡單的定義。在我的理解中，真正意義上的成功是奮斗的過程和經歷了奮斗之后贏得的滿意的結果。請讓我另舉一例來闡明我的見解。

如果我們試著改變足球的比賽規(guī)則，將球門放得很大，換下大衛(wèi)·希曼或其他任何的守門員，這樣，隨便哪個“大衛(wèi)”，比如說，“大衛(wèi)·貝克漢姆”，就可以輕松進球，然而這樣進一球卻不能給他帶來成功的震顫與喜悅。如果我們再改一改比賽規(guī)則，不讓阿森納隊的防守來守門，那么，貝克漢姆只要動動手，其實就是抬抬腳就能進一球，那樣的話、，實際上也沒有什么比賽可言了，因為贏球的意義已經不存在了。在接受挑戰(zhàn)、克服困難和經歷磨難的過程中，“成功”的價值才得以豐滿。取得成果的意義和所克服的艱難的程度成正比。所謂成功的概念不是一成不變的.而曇相對而言的,因為困難的性質也是相對意義上的。

正常人不費力氣做成的事對于一個殘疾人來說也許相當困難。獲得了同正常人一樣的能力，這個殘疾人就獲得了成功。這便是我們?yōu)槭裁闯缇词返俜摇せ艚鸬脑颉m然行動不便，受到了輪椅的限制，他依然為科學界作出了巨大的貢獻。

就我自己而言，生性羞澀，容易怯場，不得不鼓起非常大的勇氣來參加此次的演講比賽。我完全可以待在一邊，不參加大學級別的比賽，而落得輕松自在?？墒?，我還是選擇了接受這一挑戰(zhàn)來面對困難。現(xiàn)在我來了，如果我能夠得第一的話.這對我來說就是巨大的成功。如果，我是最后一名—我希望情況不是這樣—但如果我真的是最后一名，我也不會認為這次的嘗試是一次失敗，反而我要把它當作一次真正的成功來慶賀，因為我一部分的目標是對自己性格的鍛煉—更加堅強、勇敢地面對困難。對我來說，這標志著我在通向成功人生的漫漫征途中又向前邁進了一步，盡管是很小的一步，但是我確實通過參與真正地獲得了收益。
