【国旗下的演讲】繁峙中学首次英文演讲

Hang in There

     Good morning, everybody! It's my honour to speak here on behalf of my fellows . I am very glad to share my topic with you. Then today I'd like to talk something about how to spend a meaningful senior year.

     Generally speaking, because of the college entrance examination, the life of senior year is busy and fulfilling. Many people say that there is no fun left but boring study and endless exercises. As far as I am concerned ,studying often makes me feel frustrated, and even I am doubtful about my future.

      However, one day I read a story about Nick Vujicic, an Australian Christian motivational speaker. He was born with no legs and arms.He overcame many difficulties that people thought impossible when he was growing up.He learned how to brush teeth, comb hair, write and so on. He graduated from college at the age of 21 with a double major in Accounting and Financial planning. To my great surprise,he began to make speeches on the topics of disability and hope. what's more, Nick traveled more than 20 countries, with more than two million  people around the world to share his personal experience. With the hope of life, Nick not only describes a brilliant life with his broken body, but also inspires people all over the world with his optimism, spreading positive energy. He fully proves that genius is nurture not nature.

    My dear fellows, difficulties arise in the lives of us all. what's most important is dealing with the hard times, coping with the changes, and getting through to the other side where the sun is still shining just for you. It takes a strong person to deal with tough times and difficult choices. But you are a strong person.

      So...... beginning today and lasting a lifetime through--hang in there, and don't be afraid to feel like the morning sun is shining just for you.

         Thank you, everyone!

尊敬的各位领导、敬爱的老师、亲爱的同学们：

     大家早上好！

     今天我很荣幸地代表340班全体同学在此发言，今天我演讲的主题是“如何度过一个有意义的高三”。

    通常来说，因为高考，高三的生活忙碌而又充实。人们总说，除了无聊的学习和无休止的习题，高三的生活毫无乐趣可言。就我个人而言，学习也经常让我沮丧，甚至开始怀疑我的未来。然而，有一天我读到了关于澳大利亚基督教励志演说家尼克·胡哲的故事。出生时，他四肢残缺。但在他的成长过程中，他克服了许多常人难以克服的困难。他学会了怎样刷牙、梳头、写字等等。他21岁大学毕业，主修会计和财务规划双学位。令我大为惊讶的是，他开始就残疾和希望两个话题在20多个国家，面对200多万观众分享他的个人经历。他满怀着对生活的希望，用自己残缺的身体描绘着灿烂的人生，还用他的乐观传播正能量来鼓舞来自世界各地的人们。他充分证明了天才来自后天的培养而非先天的禀赋。

     亲爱的同学们，困难无处不在。但更重要的是，我们要迎难而上，积极面对各种变故，冲破黎明前的黑暗，你终会看到属于自己的灿烂阳光。只有真正的勇士，才能直面惨淡的人生。我相信你们就是这样的勇士。

      所以，从今天开始，到生命的终点，永不言弃！清晨的阳光为你而闪耀！

       谢谢大家！
