money

needless to say, money is not very important, but very very important.

if there is no money, i can’t use this microphone to speak to you and we can’t have such a room to hold such a competition. without money, we can’t study in such a schoolyard. without money, we can’t live in such a hometown. without money, we can’t have such a motherland. on the other hand, if there is no money, you don’t 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 it’s the main mistake that people 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 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: “i’ll do it when i have enough money to retire” then they find that it is too late.

why 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 someone’s value in the society. they even regard money as the source of evil. also, they hate money, but they are wrong, completely wrong.

in my opinion, it is unfair to money. money is a tool. well, there’s no denying that we do something harmful with money. but we can’t 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? 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 can 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：英語演講稿：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 i hope won't bore you since the source is china daily.

china's tourism revenue last year reached 500 billion rmb, an increase of 10.5 percent from the year before, and comprised more than 5% of china's gdp. according to experts, this number will grow to 8% in the coming ten years and more than 40 million jobs will be created.

as a student majoring in economics, i can't 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 can't help but care more about the losses incurred 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 unknown 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 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. 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 restaurants. 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 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 found their purest eyes filled with passion and love for nature, i realized to my great satisfaction that there doesn't 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 eventually 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 nothing 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:

英語演講稿——speech paper

thank you!

chief justice rehnquist, president carter, president bush， president clinton, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens, 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 with grace.

i am honored and humbled to stand here, where so many of

america's leaders have come before me, and so many will 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 old, 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.

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, we must follow no other course.

through much of the last century, america's 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 ideal 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 prejudice and the

circumstances 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 every

generation. and this is my solemn pledge: 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 ica has never been united by blood or birth or 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. and

every immigrant, by embracing these ideals, makes our country more, not less, american.

today, we affirm a new commitment to live out our nation's 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.

some seem to believe that our politics can afford to be petty because, in a time of peace, the stakes of our debates appear 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 knowledge 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 over 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 by

confronting problems instead of passing them on to future generations.

together, we will reclaim america's schools, before ignorance and apathy claim more young lives.

we will reform social security and medicare, sparing our children from struggles we have the power to prevent. and we will reduce taxes, to recover the momentum of our economy and reward the effort and enterprise of working americans.

we will build our defenses beyond challenge, lest weakness invite challenge.

we will confront weapons of mass destruction, so that a new century is spared new horrors.

the enemies of liberty and our country should make no mistake: america remains engaged in the world by history and by choice,

shaping a balance of power thatf avors freedom. we will defend our allies and our interests. we will show purpose without arrogance. we will meet aggression and bad faith with resolve and strength. and to all nations, we will speak for the values that gave our nation ica, at its best, is compassionate. in the quiet of american conscience, we know that deep, persistent poverty is unworthy of our nation's promise.

and whatever our views of its cause, we can agree that children at risk are not at fault. abandonment and abuse are not acts of god, they are failures of love.

and the proliferation of prisons, however necessary, is no substitute for hope and order in our souls.

where there is suffering, there is duty. americans in need are not strangers, they are citizens, not problems, but priorities. and all of us are diminished when any are hopeless.

government has great responsibilities for public safety and

public health, for civil rights and common schools. yet compassion is the work of a nation, not just a government.

and some needs and hurts are so deep they will only respond to a mentor's touch or a pastor's prayer. church and charity, synagogue and mosque lend our communities their humanity, and they will have an honored place in our plans and in our laws.

many in our country do not know the pain of poverty, but we can listen to those who do.

and i can pledge our nation to a goal: when we see that wounded traveler on the road to jericho, we will not pass to the other ica, at its best, is a place where personal responsibility is valued and expected.

encouraging responsibility is not a search for scapegoats, it is a call to conscience. and though it requires sacrifice, it brings a deeper fulfillment. we find the fullness of life not only in options, but in commitments. and we find that children and community are the commitments that set us free.

our public interest depends on private character, on civic duty and family bonds and basic fairness, on uncounted, unhonored acts of decency which give direction to our freedom.

sometimes in life we are called to do great things. but as a saint of our times has said, every day we are called to do small things with great love. the most important tasks of a democracy are done by everyone.

i will live and lead by these principles: to advance my

convictions with civility, to pursue the public interest with courage, to speak for greater justice and compassion, to call for

responsibility and try to live it as well.

in all these ways, i will bring the values of our history to the care of our times.

what you do is as important as anything government does. i ask you to seek a common good beyond your comfort; to defend needed reforms against easy attacks; to serve your nation, beginning with your neighbor. i ask you to be citizens: citizens, not spectators; citizens, not subjects; responsible citizens, building communities of service and a nation of character.

americans are generous and strong and decent, not because we believe in ourselves, but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves. when this spirit of citizenship is missing, no government program can replace it. when this spirit is present, no wrong can stand against it.

after the declaration of independence was signed, virginia

statesman john page wrote to thomas jefferson: “we know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm?”

much time has passed since jefferson arrived for his inauguration. the yearsand changes accumulate. but the themes of this day he would know: our nation's grand story of courage and its simple dream of dignity.

we are not this story's author, who fills time and eternity with his purpose. yet his purpose is achieved in our duty, and our duty is fulfilled in service to one another.

never tiring, never yielding, never finishing, we renew that

purpose today, to make our country more just and generous, to affirm the dignity of our lives and every life.

this work continues. this story goes on. and an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm.

god bless you all, and god bless america.

第五篇：英語演講稿：resignation speech

good evening:

this is the 37th time i have spoken to you from this office, where so many decisions have been made that shape the history of this nation. each time i have done so to discuss with you some matter that i believe affected the national interest. in all the decisions i have made in my public life i have always tried to do what was best for the nation.

throughout the long and difficult period of watergate, i have felt it was my duty to persevere -- to make every possible effort to complete the term of office to which you elected me. in the past few days, however, it has become evident to me that i no longer have a strong enough political base in the congress to justify continuing that effort. as long as there was such a base, i felt strongly that it was necessary to see the constitutional process through to its conclusion; that to do otherwise would be unfaithful to the spirit of that deliberately difficult process, and a dangerously destabilizing precedent for the future. but with the disappearance of that base, i now believe that the constitutional purpose has been served. and there is no longer a need for the process to be prolonged.

i would have preferred to carry through to the finish whatever the personal agony it would have involved, and my family unanimously urged me to do so. but the interests of the nation must always come before any personal considerations. from the discussions i have had with congressional and other leaders i have concluded that because of the watergate matter i might not have the support of the congress that i would consider necessary to back the very difficult decisions and carry out the duties of this office in the way the interests of the nation will require.

i have never been a quitter.

to leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body. but as president, i must put the interests of <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />america first.

america needs a full-time president and a full-time congress, particularly at this time with problems we face at home and abroad. to continue to fight through the months ahead for my personal vindication would almost totally absorb the time and attention of both the president and the congress in a period when our entire focus should be on the great issues of peace abroad and prosperity without inflation at home.

therefore, i shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow.

vice president ford will be sworn in as president at that hour in this office.

as i recall the high hopes for america with which we began this second term, i feel a great sadness that i will not be here in this office working on your behalf to achieve those hopes in the next two and a half years. but in turning over direction of the government to vice president ford i know, as i told the nation when i nominated him for that office ten months ago, that the leadership of america would be in good hands.

in passing this office to the vice president, i also do so with the profound sense of the weight of responsibility that will fall on his shoulders tomorrow, and therefore of the understanding, the patience, the cooperation he will need from all americans. as he assumes that responsibility he will deserve the help and the support of all of us. as we look to the future, the first essential is to begin healing the wounds of this nation. to put the bitterness and divisions of the recent past behind us and to rediscover those shared ideals that lie at the heart of our strength and unity as a great and as a free people.

by taking this action, i hope that i will have hastened the start of that process of healing which is so desperately needed in america. i regret deeply any injuries that may have been done in the course of the events that led to this decision. i would say only that if some of my judgments were wrong -- and some were wrong -- they were made in what i believed at the time to be the best interests of the nation.

to those who have stood with me during these past difficult months, to my family, my friends, the many others who joined in supporting my cause because they believed it was right, i will be eternally grateful for your support. and to those who have not felt able to give me your support, let me say i leave with no bitterness toward those who have opposed me, because all of us in the final analysis have been concerned with the good of the country, however our judgments might differ.

so let us all now join together in affirming that common commitment and in helping our new president succeed for the benefit of all americans. i shall leave this office with regret at not completing my term but with gratitude for the privilege of serving as your president for the past five and a half years. these years have been a momentous time in the history of our nation and the world. they have been a time of achievement in which we can all be proud, achievements that represent the shared efforts of the administration, the congress and the people. but the challenges ahead are equally great. and they, too, will require the support and the efforts of the congress and the people, working in cooperation with the new administration.

we have ended america's longest war. but in the work of securing a lasting peace in the world, the goals ahead are even more far-reaching and more difficult. we must complete a structure of peace, so that it will be said of this generation -- our generation of americans -- by the people of all nations, not only that we ended one war but that we prevented future wars.

we have unlocked the doors that for a quarter of a century stood between the united states and the people's republic of china. we must now insure that the one-quarter of the world's people who live in the people's republic of china will be and remain, not our enemies, but our friends.

in the middle east, 100 million people in the arab countries, many of whom have considered us their enemy for nearly 20 years, now look on us as their friends. we must continue to build on that friendship so that peace can settle at last over the middle east and so that the cradle of civilization will not become its grave. together with the soviet union we have made the crucial breakthroughs that have begun the process of limiting nuclear arms. but, we must set as our goal, not just limiting, but reducing and finally destroying these terrible weapons, so that they cannot destroy civilization. and so that the threat of nuclear war will no longer hang over the world and the people. we have opened a new relation with the soviet union. we must continue to develop and expand that new relationship, so that the two strongest nations of the world will live together in cooperation rather than confrontation.

around the world -- in asia, in africa, in latin america, in the middle east -- there are millions of people who live in terrible poverty, even starvation. we must keep as our goal turning away from production for war and expanding production for peace so that people everywhere on this earth can at last look forward, in their children's time, if not in our own time, to having the necessities for a decent life. here, in america, we are fortunate that most of our people have not only the blessings of liberty but also the means to live full and good, and by the world's standards even abundant lives.

we must press on, however, toward a goal not only of more and better jobs but of full opportunity for every american, and of what we are striving so hard right now to achieve -- prosperity without inflation.

for more than a quarter of a century in public life, i have shared in the turbulent history of this evening. i have fought for what i believe in. i have tried, to the best of my ability, to discharge those duties and meet those responsibilities that were entrusted to me. sometimes i have succeeded. and sometimes i have failed. but always i have taken heart from what theodore roosevelt once said about the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again because there is not effort without error and shortcoming, but who does actually strive to do the deed, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumphs of high achievements and with the worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.

i pledge to you tonight that as long as i have a breath of life in my body, i shall continue in that spirit. i shall continue to work for the great causes to which i have been dedicated throughout my years as a congressman, a senator, vice president and president, the cause of peace -- not just for america but among all nations -- prosperity, justice and opportunity for all of our people.

there is one cause above all to which i have been devoted and to which i shall always be devoted for as long as i live.

when i first took the oath of office as president five and a half years ago, i made this sacred commitment: to consecrate my office, my energies, and all the wisdom i can summon to the cause of peace among nations. i've done my very best in all the days since to be true to that pledge. as a result of these efforts, i am confident that the world is a safer place today, not only for the people of america but for the people of all nations, and that all of our children have a better chance than before of living in peace rather than dying in war.

this, more than anything, is what i hoped to achieve when i sought the presidency.

this, more than anything, is what i hope will be my legacy to you, to our country, as i leave the presidency.

to have served in this office is to have felt a very personal sense of kinship with each and every american.

in leaving it, i do so with this prayer: may god's grace be with you in all the days ahead.
