学会感恩（演讲比赛中获一等奖的演讲稿）

　　尊敬的局领导、同事们：

　　大家好！

　　我演讲的题目是《学会感恩》。

　　我想以一个真实的故事开始我的演讲：在一个雷雨交加的夜晚，蒸汽渡轮“埃尔金淑号”撞上了一艘满载木材的货轮，船上的393名乘客全部掉入了冰冷的密西根湖水之中……一个名叫史宾塞的年轻大学生奋不顾身跳入了冰冷的湖水中,抢救落水者。当他救出第17个人后,终因筋疲力尽而虚脱,再也没有站起来。从那以后，英雄在轮椅上度过了自己的余生。

　　多年以后，在接受一家报纸采访时，记者问道：那天晚上留给你最难忘的是什么？现在你最想说的是什么？他的回答让人感慨万千：我救出的17个人中，一直到现在都没有一个人回来跟我说声“谢谢”。

　　他以自己的双腿甚至可能是生命的代价，从死神的手中抢夺出17条生命，他对自己的沉重付出没有遗憾，没有抱怨，更不图涌泉相报，图的仅仅是17个人中，哪怕只有一个人回来，对他说一声“谢谢”。

　　由此可见，一声“谢谢”在一个人心中有多么大的份量啊！什么是“谢谢”，就是懂得感恩，有一颗感恩的心，只要有了这颗心，你就会受用一生！

　　有个百岁多的老太太，仍然健健康康地活着，很多人都感到很惊奇。总统也登门拜访这位百岁多老人，问她有什么长寿秘诀，老人说长寿秘诀有两条，其中最重要的一条就是要有一颗感恩的心！她每天说得最多的就是“谢谢”二。感谢父母，感谢丈夫，感谢儿女，感谢邻居，感谢大家给予她的关怀和体贴，感谢每一个祥和、温暖、快乐的日子。别人每对她说一句亲切的话语，每为她做一件平凡的小事，每送她一张问候的笑脸，她都忘不了说声“谢谢”。

　　这个老太太的一生是幸福的，因为她的心中充满着感恩！

　　感恩是阳光，是发自内心的阳光，它不仅照亮了自己的心田，也温暖着被自己感谢的人；感恩是雨露，它流淌于口中，却滋润在自己和他人的心上！如果说世界上真有什么物美价廉的东西，我想，那一定是“谢谢”二，它不需要你付出，却可以从中受益。

　　感恩的力量是无穷的！感恩是每个人一生的必修课！那就让我们用一生来说好这两个儿吧“谢谢”！！！

　　最后，再以一个真实的故事结束我的演讲：有一位在马来西亚奋斗一生的老华侨，如今，荣归故里，看到祖国发生了翻天覆地的变化，心里高兴极了，决定要为祖国做点儿什么，于是联系了几所高校的校长，要来了学习成绩优秀、品德优良，家境贫困的一些大学生的联系地址，老华侨买了很多书籍，分别寄给了这些大学生，过了一段时间没有音信，老华侨焦急地等待着，心里很郁闷，就在感恩节那天，老华侨兴奋得像个孩子似的，“有回信了，真有回信了”，信中这样写道：“珍惜才能拥有，感恩才能天长地久，我会加倍地努力学习，将来更好地回报社会”！又过了一段时间，也就是在圣诞节的前夕，又收到了一封贺卡，上面说：“谢谢您送给我的书，虽然我不认识您，但我会永远记着您”！老华侨激动地对家人说：“他们就是我要捐助的人,我还要继续寻找”！

全国大学生英语演讲比赛一等奖演讲稿

　　good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. today i would like to begin with a story.

　　there was once a physical 1) therapist who traveled all the way from america to africa to do a 2) census about mountain 3) gorillas. these gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world; this put them severely under threat of 4) poaching and being put into the zoo. she went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures. she witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we've ever been, where in the very depth of the african rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas 5) cuddled their babies.

　　yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called gorillas in the mist, based on a true story of mrs. dian fossey, who spent most of bet lifetime in rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.

　　to me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a 6) timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our ecoenvironment.

　　today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems. on the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go. it has become a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in gdp growth. it has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity. but on the other hand, many problems can occur---natural scenes aren't natural anymore. deforestation to heat lodges is devastating nepal. oil spills from tourist boats are polluting antarctica. tribal people are forsaking their native music and dress to listen to u2 on walkman and wear nike and reeboks.

　　all these 7) appalling(令人震惊的) facts have brought us to the realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been 8) eroding(侵蚀) our resources.

　　encouragingly, the explosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the united nations has made XX the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the world's attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our ecoenvironment.

　　now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection organizations an: receiving donations--big notes, small notes or even coins--from housewives, 9) plumbers(水管工人), ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and 10) invalids(残疾人), some of them can not afford to send the money but they do. these are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood. why? because they care. because they still want their mother nature back. because they know it still belongs to them.

　　this kind of feeling that i have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it, it's all coming from a scene to remember, a scene to recall and to cherish.

　　the other night, as l saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs. i found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to some- thing else, someplace else. a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seem to have been except the deer.

　　and all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's lime for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation. once again, i have come to think of mrs. dian fossey be- cause it's with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.

　　and no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our mind, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.

　　thank you very much.

　　thanks,contestant#18.the topic for your impromptu speech is:which is more important for you: knowledge from books or personal experience? answer: thank you. i remember, on my very first day of my beloved university, one of my professors said to me,“from now on, you’ll be on a journey between who you think you are and who yo can be.the key is to allow yourself to continue the journey in the ocean of the books.”and i do learn a lot from books: i know the geometry of euclid, logic of

　　aristotle, fable of aesop known to children around the world. well, no offense to all those great authors of the books, but during my three years at my university, i do realize that personal experience through practice means more to me. as we are in this global information age where both economic growth and individual opportunity are based on ideas, a commitment to providing all human beings the golden opportunity to develop themselves is so vital, not only to the people here, but all around. as we are in this transformational age where communications and commerce are global, investments are mobile, technology is almost magical, and the ambition for a better life is now universal, and i think this is why we are here today. we want to earn our personal experience through practicing our oral english, sharing our opinions of tourism and ecology with all the judges and audience here. and i think we are so lucky to be alive at this moment of the history. never before have our nation enjoyed so much prospertity and so much social progress with so little internal crises.and never before have our young people had so much great opportunity to practice ourselves and, therefore, have a profound obligation to build a more perfect nation of our ancestor’s dream. and i think our government had provided us young people with the tools and condition to build the future of our dreams. even if we know some rules, some regulations, or experiences from our books, we still simply cannot graft it onto today’s busier, more impersonal,complicated world. instead, our challenges is to arrive at a consensus values and common vision of what we can do today individually andcollectively to build a strong family and strong community, and above all, make the world a better place for us to live. thank you very much. contestant#18, in your speech, you talked about ecotourism. could you explain to us difference between ordinary tourists and e-tourists, or ecotourists?

　　answer: thank you for your question. and i think the key issue is the differences between our awareness. fot example, if you want to go to a place to have a trip, enjoy your trip. and i think before you get on board, get on the bus, you can have the awareness that “i’m not a polluter, but an environment keeper.” we’re not go to all those scenic spots to estroy all those beautiful scenes but we to appreciate the mother nature giving us so much things. thank you very much.

　　contestant #18,now that information technology is becoming more and more accessible to people in china, do you think books will become less and less important?

　　answer: well, i think, maybe, umm, i don’t think that all those echnologies can replace the importance of books. we’re in our modern village where so many new industries—it industries, tourism ndustries—crop up every day and this brave new world seem a little bit dehumanizing and inhospitable to a lot of people.the world can no longer be defined as a place on a map or list or people in organizations but i think the true value, the essence of our village remains the same.it is the network of values relationship that support our lives and we can learn those things from our books because books is the very first beginning stage of what we learn. thank you very much.

　　i’d like to ask you a question about your prepared speech,please. you mention that the un has declated the year XX, i think it was, “the year of ecotourism.” do you think that such gestures really serve a purpose? answer: and i think one of my teachers said to me, when i prepared my prepared speech, and he tells me that if we pay more attention to omething like environmental protection or ecotourism, it is more, it is better for us to bear in mind we should learn something in our hearts, we should have something about the awareness about how to pay more respect to our environment, not to talk about something orally but to bear something in our hearts. follow our hearts, our environment can be better.thank you very much.

一等奖演讲稿：《简单与不简单》

　　当初选择报考xx师专附小，源于别人的一句话：“在附小，你会成长得更快！因为，附小有一位谁也比不了的好校长！”从今年8月份进入xx师专附小工作，我印象最深刻的就是刻在学校醒目位置的这句话——把简单的事做好了，就是不简单。由此，我也认识了说这句话说的最多的那个人——张xx校长！

　　有人说，谁也比不了他的敬业，他以校为家，一年到头只要不出差，你在学校总能见到他的身影；有人说，谁也比不了他的眼光，与省内外学校结对交流，附小走在全县的最前列；如今的附小，硬件设施一流并不令人欣羡，无数名师构成的软实力才真正让人啧啧称赞！而这些，都因为有一位殚精竭虑的好校长！

　　附小作为一所名校，被无数人交口称赞，而我，从一个旁观者的角度，读懂了“逼，富，福”这三个的深刻含义。三个都带着一、口、田，却令附小所有的年轻教师感慨良深。有些年轻教师面子薄，胆子小，公开课、赛课等活动都是被张xx校长“逼”着去的。他就是这样，对于年轻教师的培养，可以说是不遗余力，下手也是稳准狠。他制定了学校的“培青工程”，提出了“老带新”和“六有”要求。他组织教师到xx小学、上海xx区xx小学交流学习。在XX年附小教师紧缺的情况下，为了青年教师能够在最短的时间内有较大的进步，张校长狠下决心送4位青年教师前往xx小学驻校学习一个学期。一些不理解他的人抱怨说：“我又没有要成为名师，何苦要这么折腾我们！”听了这话，张校长淡淡一笑：“为了教师们更快地成长，为了孩子们更好地学习，为了附小的教育教学质量迅速提高，这点埋怨算个啥？”如今这四位教师都已成为xx市教坛新星。这些被“逼”出来的教师们，现在无一不感谢张校长的良苦用心，他们无论走到哪里都能挺起腰杆，因为在教学上他们是“富有”的，工作上他们是“幸福”的，无疑他们已拥有了自己的“一口田”！附小的名师数不胜数，每一个都是注重细节，追求精致，把一个个简单的环节做到了不简单！

　　上课很简单，张校长却要求年轻教师人人过关，而把关的，随便哪个都能拿出省市县甚至国家级的奖励一大串，张口闭口理论结合实践令我们心服口服，不由暗下功夫朝着他们指引的方向努力；管理班级很简单，可张校长为首的领导团队制定的规定、方案让我们眼花缭乱，不过静下心来审阅，每一条都令我受益匪浅，照着老教师们的先进经验，我也看到了自己教育之路上的朗朗晴天。我不常见到张xx校长，但他把简单与不简单诠释得令我心服口服，因为这条原则，我也每天念叨着“把简单的事做好了，就是不简单”！
