英语课前五分钟小故事演讲（精选3篇）
Over the past Spring Festival, I got involved in a family dispute. Right before I got home, four satellite channels of CCTV were added to the 14 channels we had already had. In prime time at night, they all had interesting shows. Therefore, the five of us-my parents, my sisters and I-had to argue over what to watch. Finally, we agreed that we should watch the "most interesting" programme... If we could agree what that was.
However, all of us there remember that for a long time after we had TV, there were only one or two channels available. The increase in options reveals an important change in our life: the abundance of choice.
Fifteen years ago we all dressed in one style and in one colour. Today, we select from a wide variety of designs and shades.
Fifteen years ago, we read few newspapers. Today, we read English newspapers like the China Daily and the 21st Century, as well as various Chinese newspapers.
Fifteen years ago, English majors took only courses in language and literature. Today, we also study Western culture, journalism, business communications, international relations, and computer science.
The emergence of choices marks the beginning of a new era in China's history; an era of diversity, of material and cultural richness, and an era of the rebirth of the Chinese nation.
We enjoy the abundance of choice. But this has not come easily.
About 150 years ago, China was forced to open up its door by Western canons and gunboats. It has been through the struggle and sacrifice of generations that we finally have gained the opportunity to choose for ourselves. The policy of reform and openness is the choice that has made all the difference.
Like others of my age, I'm too young to have experienced the time when the Chinese people had no right to choose. However, as the next century draws near, it is time to ask: What does choice really mean to us young people?
Is choice a game that relies on chance or luck? Is choice an empty promise that never materializes? Or is choice a puzzle so difficult that we have to avoid it?
First, I would like to say: To choose means to claim opportunities.
I am a third-year English major. An important choice for me, of course, is what to do upon graduation. I can go to graduate school, at home or abroad. I can go to work as a teacher, a translator, a journalist, an editor and a diplomat. Actually, the system of mutual selection has allowed me to approach almost every career opportunity in China.
Indeed, this is not going to be an easy choice. I would love to work in such big cities as Beijing or Shanghai or Shenzhen. I would also love to return to my hometown, which is intimate, though slightly lagging in development. I would love to stay in the coastal area where life is exciting and fast-paced. I would also love to put down roots in central and western China, which is underdeveloped, but holds great potential.
good morning/afternoon/evening to mr.____(your teacher's name) and my friends.
i would like to introduce you a short novel named “the old man and the sea”.
it is written by ernest hemingway in cuba in 1951 and published in 1952.
the story of an aging, life-long fisherman who attempts to find himself, and hopefully a fish, on a fishing trip in the gulf waters off cuba.
after spending most of his life alone and losing his only companion who is a young cuban boy, the old man heads out to sea once again.
his 84 days without a notable catch end on this trip, but will he be able to defeat the odds after catching a gigantic marlin?
this short novel is universal in its consideration of the plight of an old man struggling against age, loneliness, mortality, humility and poverty to maintain his identity and dignity. apart from that, the cheerful and optimistic old man wants to reestablish his reputation in the community. besides, he also wants to ensure for all time his relationship with those he loves and to whom he hopes to paon everything he values the most. finally, he survives and wins the battle. this has shown his heroic struggle not only redeems himself but also inspires and spiritually enriches those around him.
thanks for your attention.
a common concept among some people is that opportunities are few. they always complain that opportunities never occur to them. they only admire those people who make a hit or succeed by seizing some opportunities, and always wonder why they are never given a good opportunity to show their talent.
another common notion is that there are opportunities everywhere. opportunity may occur to anybody at any time and under any circumstances as long as he/she keeps ma-ki-ng constant efforts. as a student, you can get to the top through your hard work. as a businessman, you can succeed through accurate calculation and with a complete certainty that you can make a profit.
in my opinion, opportunity favors only those who keep trying and who are ready for it. as the saying goes "god helps those who help themselves", so no matter whether there's opportunity or not, what we should do is to study, to learn and become learned people, only in this way can you seize your opportunity when it occurs. so never say there's no opportunity again, opportunities are around us.
亲爱的同学们：
大家早上好!
我今天要演讲的题目是，未成年的保护。
未成年人是祖国的未来和希望，为他们的健康成长创造一个良好的外部环境，不仅关系到每一个孩子、每一个家庭、每一所学校，而且关系到整个民族的明天。教育最重要的任务是培养具有全面文明素养的人。让孩子学会做人、学会做事、学会求知，让孩子懂得尊重和善待生命，懂得遵守规则和秩序，懂得对自己行为的后果负责，这是家庭、学校、社会义不容辞的责任。
第一、保障未成年人的合法权益。国家、社会和家庭依法保护未成年人的权益，防止侵害未成年人合法权益行为的发性，救济、回复已经被侵害的未成年人权益。
第二、尊重未成年人的人格尊严。谈起这点，我不得不说，我们也是未成年，要希望别人来尊重你，首先要自己做好本分，人格与素养是慢慢的培养的，在人生的道路上，这些都将成为我们脚下的铺垫。绝对不能扭曲自己的心灵，要保持良好的心态，便已足够。
第三、适应未成年人身心发展的特点。有些孩子因为从小的不良习惯，导致在成长过程中慢慢堕落，造成终生的后悔，比如自身的保护能力不强，被那些不法分子所欺骗，而毁了自己的一身，或者从很小的事情，打架，喝酒，抽烟，都将掩盖住心灵光明的一面。
最重要的一点，便是教育与保护相结合的原则，简称教育原则。教育和保护是相辅相成的，因为，保护未成年人的身心健康和合法权益，是为了更好地教育他们;而加强对未成年人的教育，提高他们的思想认识，培养其高尚的道德情操，增强其辨别是非的能力，又能促使他们加强自我保护，勇敢地同侵犯自己合法权益的行为做斗争，达到保护的目的。
我们在校的学生是未成年人，就应该学习司法，法律，来了解这个广大的社会，才能很好的适应未来的道路!
我的演讲就讲到这里，谢谢!
