尊敬的各位领导、敬爱的老师、亲爱的同学们:

你们好!很高兴能有机会在这样一个特殊的日子里作为九年级学生代表发言,值此第26个教师节来临之际,我代表全体九年级同学向辛勤工作的老师们说一声:“谢谢您们,您们辛苦了!”

如果说,蓝天教会鸟儿飞翔,大海教会鱼儿游泳,那么老师,您不仅教给我们知识,还教会我们做人。您用您的辛勤汗水浇灌我们,您用您的无私奉献教育我们;您用您的真挚心灵感动我们,是您让我们明白:我们能从失败中汲取教训,在困难中积聚力量,在黑暗中寻找光明。老师,是您把我们领进知识的殿堂,数学课上,您把枯燥的数字变得生动有趣;语文课上,您为我们打开了一个斑斓的新世界;英语课上,您让我们领略了异国风情;物理课上,您让我们感受了宏观与微观的魅力。化学课上,您带领我们走进神奇的世界。

没有华丽的舞台,没有簇拥的鲜花,三尺讲台就是老师奉献人生的天地。面对几十双迷惘而渴求的眼睛,您用自己如歌的声音,传播爱的阳光,播洒智慧的甘霖。

九月十日,是一个值得庆祝的日子,在这欢庆的节日里,一张张贺卡,一束束鲜花,都无法表达我们对老师衷心的爱戴和感激。老师,今天是你们的节日,鲜花为你们而盛开,旋律为你们而奏响。

同学们,师恩难忘,难忘师恩,感恩老师,并不需要我们去做惊天动地的大事,而是我们内心深处的情,难以言表的爱,发自心底的祝福。老师,您的无私奉献我们看在眼里,您的不求回报我们记在心里。正值新学期的开始,作为九年级的我想说:老师们,我们会从自己日常生活的点点滴滴做起,从自我做起,不辜负学校的培养和老师的教育;同学们,我们要向历届的学长们学习,学习他们拼搏的精神,学习他们顽强的斗志,学习他们必胜的信心,力争明年的中考再创造更灿烂的辉煌。

最后,我要把最真诚最美好的祝福,献给我们敬爱的老师,献给我们最骄傲的学校:祝老师们身体健康,节日快乐!祝我们的学校永葆青春,越办越好。

谢谢大家!

莫言获得诺贝尔文学奖后,全国掀起一阵莫言热。而莫言本人在开完一场新闻发布会后便消失在大众的视线,安静创作新作品。

在我看来,莫言便是那只在人迹罕至的山洞中的美丽蝴蝶。人们借诺奖发现了这只蝴蝶,而蝴蝶选择的是退居山洞深处,正如莫言选择远离公众。因为那样的安静环境才适合这些美丽的精灵,适合莫言。

非宁静无以致远,伟人正是懂得寻找宁静才能够成功,而成功也必青睐内心安宁之人。

林徽因曾说:“真正的宁静不是避开车马喧嚣,而是在内心修篱种菊,尽管如流往事,每天依然涛声依旧。”因而真正的宁静是内心的平和,这与“大隐隐於市”是一样的道理。只要内心宁静便能於车马喧嚣的繁华都市有一个宁静之所。

前段时间,于丹北大被呛一事闹得沸沸扬扬。文化超女于丹在端了多年的心灵鸡汤后终於被人轰下台。这似乎很意外,可是却又在情理之中。当年的于丹用心灵鸡汤抚慰了无数人疲困的心,可是近年来她不断商业化,只加汤不加料的心灵鸡汤让人们越来越难以接受。正是于丹在成为美丽的蝴蝶被人发现时,不懂得如何退居深处,如何来保持一颗宁静的心,所以她只能遭到人们反感,最终失去成功。

与她不同的是,红学痴儒周汝昌尽管着作等身却仍躬耕於红楼中﹔“国学大师”季羡林一直认为自己只是一个普通人﹔杨绛先生从不开作品交流会,永远都是默默关注这个社会。大师尚且如此,而我们又有何骄傲的资本?我们又凭什麽藐视一切?我们又怎能不屑那一颗宁静之心?

反观当今,当郭敬明充满早恋、贪婪、颓废的作品发行时﹔当韩寒“巴金文采不好”的言论风生水起时﹔当当时明月的着作爆棚时﹔当马诺、芙蓉姐姐在网上受到热捧时,谁能告诉我,我们那一颗宁静的心在哪里?我们现在许多人正在慢慢地失去它,从而变得疯狂与骄傲,变得目空一切。

让我们找回最初的宁静,让我们在内心修篱种菊,让我们怀抱谦卑宁静的心走在社会上。非淡泊无以明志,非宁静无以致远。视自己为天地间的一粒尘埃,用宁静平和的心看待世界。我相信,低到尘埃,便能开出花来。

Dear students:How are you!

In the previous several exams, I have gained good results, first of all thanks to my efforts, of course, learning is also very important. Next, I gave you about my learning experience.I feel good in order to learn first-come interested in learning. As the saying goes: "Interest is the best teacher." With interest will be motivated to learn, the more naturally learn better. Second, in order to improve learning, we must master the correct way to learn, learn to digest, giving top priority, this is the most important. In learning, our minds must have three words - "Why!" Smart people know that; wise men know to listen to; smart people know to ask. The last is sure to be hard work, this is the most important, even Thomas Edison said "Genius needs ninety-nine percent perspiration."School should seriously lectures, and pay attention to more independent thinking, do not know want to ask, to exercise their thinking skills. Careful and meticulous to teacher assignments, must not be careless.

There is, to take notes, preview before clathe best, first have a preliminary understanding of the text, which for the next clacan more easily absorb. After-school must also be reviewed, and consolidate the knowledge about good teachers, and lay a solid foundation. The ancients have said: "Reviewing the Old, to be a teacher." Not also the truth? Best to pay attention to work and rest. Only care about the death of reading is of no use to let my mind relax properly for the job such as playing baseball, listening to music, watch TV news.Finally, I want to say "do not you go stronger than others, then you have to and they are better than weak, you challenged yourself to stay on a par before himself, and you will reap better than others."I finished the speech Thank you!

即兴演讲素材 篇5

假如明天我就成了你,我会像您一样怀大爱心,做小事情;假如明天我就成了你,我会像您一样,用最温柔的歌声做“傻”的事情;假如明天我就成了你,我会像您一样,默默无闻,走完甘草人生。

加尔各答的贫民窟曾被称为“恶梦之城”,但在这儿却有一位善良的天使。在生活在修女学院内过着欧式生活的特雷莎修女眼中,这仅一墙之隔外的凄惨破败的景象,可怜无助的孤儿,乞丐,老人,病者都是不可避免的,不但是不应避免的,而且是不应漠视,并且是不应离弃的,更应是值得去爱的。所以,她行动了。她不仅用食物满足了挨饿的人;不仅用衣物温暖了受冻的人;不仅用房屋安顿了流浪的人,她更用爱,给予了每一个人应有的尊重,去感受世间的美好。天使是永存的,而英雄也是不死的。

丛飞,一个用歌声去实现自己的爱心,用爱心去实现她人梦想的年轻的生命,就这样怀着遗憾而又无悔地走了。生前,他做了太多的“傻事”,但他笑笑,说如果有来生,他还要这么做。他的妻子邢丹微笑着说,如果有来生,也要早点遇上你,和你一起做这些“傻事”。阳光从窗户透过洒在他们笑开了的脸上,好似天底下最灿烂的两朵花,阳光也要给予他们最多的温暖。而这两朵花也早已温暖了我的心。

有的人死了,但他还活着。有的人一生默默无闻,但他们早已扎根在人们心中,芬芳四溢。

傅彪永远只是冯氏电影中的一个小小的配角,但是没有了他,冯氏电影的票房可能会减少许多。高秀敏永远只是赵本山小品中的“帮腔”,但是没有了她,台下的笑声会少了许多,掌声会轻了许多。他们就如甘草一样,平凡,但他们以最朴实无华的一面,以最真诚实在的方式去演绎每一个角色。他们是在人民的土壤中生长出的一株甘草,扎根在人民心中,凋谢后也将肥沃这一片土壤。他们的一生如甘草般无华,但那穷尽不了的甘甜,将让人们无法忘却。

假如明天我就成了你,我会像你们一样,一如继往地做着那些平凡而又感人的小事。但,生命没有假如,我也不可能是你们。那么,就请让我接过你们手中神圣的火把,就像邢丹接过丛飞手中的义工号牌一样,让更多的人,踏上这条你们未走完的路吧!

即兴演讲素材 篇6

摘要:我爱人类的这份美丽,我更爱每个个体生命的美丽。人生如山石的棱角,少不了磕磕碰碰,在磕碰的曲折中,生命的意志得到了锻炼,生命的潜力得到了发掘,生命的激情得到了张扬。

"间关莺语花底滑,幽咽泉流水下难",这是唐代诗人白居易对音乐曲折委婉的传神描写;"今日一山明日一洞,八十一难在其中",这是明代吴承恩对小说情节曲折动人的生动刻画;"好事多磨",这是千百年来劳动人民对事物总是曲折前进的朴素回答。"莫言下岭便无难,赚得行人空喜欢。正入万山圈子里,一山放出一山拦。"曲折,其实也是一种美丽,何必"空喜欢"呢?

曲折犹如玫瑰花上的尖刺,总是同鲜艳芬芳同行。人类前进的步伐正是如此。从"茹毛饮血"到"钻燧取火",从挣脱铁链到打破桎梏,从逆来顺受到奋起战争,从明哲保身到奋不顾身,从闭关自守到改革开放,从条块分割到地球村,其中的愚昧与科学、禁锢与抗争、麻木与清醒、封锁与自强、战争与和平、排斥与融合,无不充满着反反复复的曲折,这曲折中的两行歪歪斜斜却总是向前的足迹多么美丽啊!所以,尽管历史充满着血腥与暴力,历经沧桑,但历史总是能擦干眼泪,以文学的语调说话:"丧钟为谁而鸣?""太阳照样升起!"毫无疑问,这种语言是美丽的,倾听这种语言也是美丽的。在这种美丽的氛围中,金字塔耸立着,莫高窟沉思着,希特勒被钉上了历史的耻辱柱,辛德莱却嵌在了善良的浮雕里。在这种美丽的氛围中,拉宾、克林顾、卡斯特罗、阿拉法特等在眺望未来时,无不流露出对战争的厌恶与对和平的祈盼。这些都是曲折创造的美丽。

我爱人类的这份美丽,我更爱每个个体生命的美丽。人生如山石的棱角,少不了磕磕碰碰,在磕碰的曲折中,生命的意志得到了锻炼,生命的潜力得到了发掘,生命的激情得到了张扬。历史上,多少成功人士经历过这样的人生曲折。贝多芬,在又耳失聪的曲折中激发出蓬勃的创作欲望,雄浑与悲壮的《第九交响曲》响彻了几个世纪,绵绵不息:梵高,在失去亲人与朋友理解的孤寂曲折中焕发出绚烂的生命之光,火一样的《向日葵》开放了几百年,经久不衰;马克思,在冲破重重阻碍的曲折中,高昂着奋发、向上的斗志,泣鬼神、惊天地的《共产党宣言》惊破了历史的阴霾。你看,人生的曲折可以创造出多少美来?

因此,"正入万山圈子里"并不可怕,"一山放出一山拦"并不可怕,曲折并不可怕。世界上,谁能说"美丽"是可怕的呢?

即兴演讲素材 篇8

尊敬的各位领导,各位同事:

大家好,我今天演讲的题目是《无悔的青春》。

曾经无数次问自己:青春是什么?是靓丽的容颜?是成长的快

乐?还是淡淡的忧伤?回答是!但又不全是!如今我坚定的回答您青春还是燃烧的激情,是生命的呼唤,是辛勤的耕耘,是无私的奉献,它用微笑面对成长的喜悦,面对成长的艰辛,在风雨坎坷中焕发光彩。满怀着一腔热情,我义无反顾的选择教师这一神圣的职业。工作中的点点滴滴让我不断成长。在这个科技腾飞,思想日新月异的新时代里,师者,不仅仅需要传道授业解惑,更需要不断提升自己,充实思想,拓宽视线,探求新的教育方法,从而引导学生更好的融入生活,开启他们精彩的人生。

每当我听到教师这个词语,我都会莫名的感动,感动的同时也带来很大的压力,如何做好这项工作呢?针对少年儿童中的娇生惯养、依赖性强等特点,我决定推出了形式多样的体验教育活动,怎样让少年儿童在亲身实践中把做人做事的道理,内化为健康的心理品格,外显为良好的行为习惯。学校开展了“今天我当家”、“我为妈妈洗洗脚”、等活动,在一项项体验中,学生的情感受到了感染,心灵得到了净化。

针对学校食堂剩馒头浪费的现象及时出现了“节约环保小队” “校园美容小队”,渐渐的又出现了“闪电小队”“科技小队”等等,食堂浪费的现象变的少了,在这些别人认为的琐碎中感觉节约的可贵,在琐碎中默默地奉献我们无悔的青春。

为了给学生自主、自由的空间;解决队会准备的时间过长,减轻辅导员老师和少先队员的负担,我筹备设计,全校开始初步实行十分钟即兴队会,把队会做到“精简”、“新颖”、“奇特”、“快乐”、“有益”提高了学生上队会的兴趣。

为了防止学生成为现实版的书呆子,使学生全面发展,使学生发展特长,我还组织了创新绘画大赛,开启他们内心丰富多彩的一面,给他们足够展现的机会,相信不久的将来,定会取得骄人的成绩。

古人云:不积跬步,无以致千里;不积小流,无以成江河。一点一滴的工作总会有丰收的喜悦,在县市组织的比赛中,我校的少先队员曾多次获奖,在辽宁省“华育杯”网络作文竞赛中我校得了三等奖,在“养成良好习惯,成就美好人生”的演讲中,我校学生在高、中、低三个组别分别以《我最棒》《谆谆学生情、悠悠父母心》等获得二等奖的好成绩,今年参加排练舞蹈《印度舞》,获得县里三等奖。参加“教师美术书法”竞赛,获得县里三等奖;我坚信年轻赋予我们的激情,我们就要热烈地拥抱成功年轻赋予了我们的力量,我们就要无畏的执着追求;年轻赋予我们的勇气我们就要勇敢地接受挑战。

在无悔的青春岁月里,我们平静而不平凡,我们简约而不简单,我们宁静而能致远。在无悔的青春岁月里,我们向往明天,我们追求未来,我们扬帆理想的国度;在无悔的青春岁月里,我们信奉哲人,但更相信自己;我们渴望获得,但更懂得珍惜,我愿意把自己的青春挥撒在教育这片神圣的土地上,让它生根发芽,长成参天大树。

Line is better than words

i teach economics at unlv three times per week. last monday, at the beginning of class, i cheerfully asked my students how their weekend had been. one young man said that his weekend had not been so good. he had his wisdom teeth removed. the young man then proceeded to ask me why i always seemed to be so cheerful.

我在内华达大学拉斯维加斯分校教经济学,每周上三次课。上周一,在刚开始上课的时候,我兴致勃勃地问学生们周末过得怎么样。一个男生说,他的周末不太愉快,因为他的智齿被拔掉了,结果让他痛了一整天。然后,他又问我为何我总能保持那么快乐的心情。

his question reminded me of something i'd read somewhere before: “every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to approach life that day,“ i said. “i choose to be cheerful.“

他的问题使我想起了一句不知出处的话:“每天早上,当你起床的时候,你可以选择如何面对一天的生活”,我说:“我选择快乐。”

“let me give you an example,“ i continued, addressing all sixty students in the class. “in addition to teaching here at unlv, i also teach out at the community college in henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where i live. one day a few weeks ago i drove those 17 miles to henderson. i exited the freeway and turned onto college drive. i only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. but just then my car died. i tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn't turn over. so i put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and marched down the road to the college.

“我给你们举个例子吧,”我对着全班六十个学生继续说道,“除了在这儿上课,我还在一所社区大学任教,那儿离我家17英里。几周前的一天,我驾车前往那所学校,驶离高速公路后,我转入了校园区。在只差400多米就到学校的时候,我的汽车抛锚了。我努力重新发动引擎,但就是不行。我只好把指示灯打亮,然后抓起课本直奔学校。”

“as soon as i got there i called 英文即兴演讲素材a and arranged for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. the secretary in the provost's office asked me what has happened. 'this is my lucky day,' i replied, smiling.

我一到学校就马上打电话给汽车协会,让他们在我下课后开辆拖车过来。院长办公室的秘书问我发生了什么事。“今天我真走运。”我笑着答道。

“'your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?' she was puzzled. 'what do you mean?'

“你的车坏了,你还说今天走运?”她一脸的困惑。“你什么意思啊?”

“'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.'

我回答到:“我住在离这儿17英里的地方。其实我的车有可能在高速公路上的什么地方就坏掉了的,但庆幸的是,没有。相反,汽车是在离开了高速公路后才抛锚,而且距离学校很近。我还赶得及上课,还能够安排拖车在课后来处理。如果我的汽车是注定了要在今天抛锚的,那在这个位置抛锚已经是非常幸运了。”

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

“那个秘书听得目瞪口呆地,然后她笑了。我也冲她笑了一下,便上课去了。”这就是我的故事

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.

我扫视了一下全班六十张脸。虽然是在大清早,但没有一个学生在打盹儿。不知道为什么,他们好像被我的故事触动了。也许触动他们的并不是故事本身。其实,从一开始有学生发现我兴致高昂的时候,他们便已经被我的快乐感染了。

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.

著名的印度作家乔布拉,曾经引述过一位印度智者的名言:“你为人行事的本身,比你的语言更具说服力。”我认为这的确是真理。

即兴演讲素材 篇10

世上珍贵的东西千百万,没有一样比生命更珍贵;世上美丽的东西千百万,没有一样比青春更美丽。

每个人都曾拥有过青春,青春到底是什么?大家可曾问过自己?青春可以是年少无知、逃课玩耍的轻狂,可以是携子之手、雨中漫步的浪漫;可以是寄情山水、拥抱自然的忘情,也可以是兢兢业业、勤勤恳恳的工作。每个人的青春都不一样。

许多年轻人以为把头发染成五颜六色、在大街上旁若无人地大跳街舞、在酒吧歌厅里哼着谁也听不懂的饶舌就是青春。没错,这也是青春,但这不是我要的青春。青春是整个人生旅程中最绚丽的一站,最奇妙的一站,最灿烂的一站。应该是充满着激情与活力,而不是充斥着颓废、空虚与虚度。

青春就好比春天,我们应该在这个最美好的年华播撒希望的种子,然后努力地、好好地呵护着这颗种子生根发芽,茁壮成长。期待着有一天能够开花结果。

青春是如此的美丽,美丽得我们不忍去亵渎。那么,我们应该怎样度过自己的青春?

爱因斯坦用充满坎坷与奇迹的一生在诠释着两个字:奋斗!所以,我们不管陷入怎样的困境,都不要气馁,哪怕只有百分之一的希望,也要付出用百分之百的努力,不断的拼搏,奋斗。

我常常幻想着这样一个场景:在一个夕阳西下的傍晚,在一个公园湖边的长椅上,儿孙们围着我,听我说着年轻时的梦想,听我说着年轻时的张扬,听我说着抢险救灾、抗洪保电的故事,那时候,我可

以骄傲地对他们说:“我的青春是无悔的!”

人生的价值不在于生命的长度,而在于生命的厚度。

对有些人而言,青春就是奢侈享受、吃喝玩乐,今朝有酒今朝醉 对电力人来说,青春就是奋斗、拼搏、汗水、寒风、酷暑、抢修、奉献。

当五十年不遇的大雪袭击整个南方,低温、严寒、冻雨、冰挂,他们,奋战在被厚厚冰块包裹着的电线杆上,团结协作、攻坚克难、高度负责、无所畏惧!

铺光缆,接光纤,紧螺丝,修开关,多么平凡,却凝结着湘电人用满腔热忱书写的无悔青春;查疏漏,排故障,巡线路,保供电,多么质朴,却是湘电人用点点光明筑起的钢铁脊梁, 他们在平凡的岗位上,以平凡的人生实践矗立起青春价值选择的最佳坐标。

20xx年,无数个漆黑的夜晚让我终生难忘,当大年三十晚上八点多来电的时候,看到人们欢呼雀跃、大声吼叫的一刹那,我立志以后要从事电力行业,当一名为人们守护光明的电力人。我很庆幸也很骄傲:现在我也是一名湘电人!

习说过“只有进行了激情奋斗的青春,只有进行了顽强拼搏的青春,只有为人民作出了奉献的青春,才会留下充实、温暖、持久、无悔的青春回忆。”

青春的世界里,不需要固结你的思想,只有追寻美好的梦想,任前方荆棘丛生,我们都要持之以恒。让我们像江河一样,向着大海不断奔流吧!在漫漫的人生道路上,谱写青春的音符,留下奋斗的足迹。
