On one hand, the professor in charge of this course has impressed me most because she is not only knowledgeable but also patient. More importantly, it is this respectable teacher who spurs my interest to English harder and broadens my horizon as well. Until now, what she said in the class often occurs to my mind. On the other hand, there are many discussions in the classroom when we have lessons. We are allowed to talk freely about a movie, the topic ranging from the theme of a film to its casting. So, during the talk, we become increasingly open-minded. And undoubtedly a brain open to everything carries great importance to study, work and life. Generally speaking, the course on appreciating English films has impressed me most for it is not only instructive but also entertaining. And therefore, I suggest that more similar courses should be offered in the university. 【印象最深的同学:参考范文】 Without question, Lisa is the person who has influenced my college life most.

Recently, ther is a heated debate in our society. The college students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education at extraordinary places. But will we be able to face the challenge and support ourselves against all odds? Will we be able to better the lives of others? Will we be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of our country? The cynics say the college students are the pampered lost generation, which would cringe at the slightest discomfort. But the cynics are wrong. The college students I see are eagerly learning about how to live independently. We help each other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take part time jobs to supplement our pocket money. The cynics say we care for nothing other than grades; and we neglect the need for character cultivation. But again, the cynics are wrong. We care deeply for each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth. Last week, thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer. As college students, we are adolescents at the critical turning point in our lives. We all face a fundamental choice: cynicism or faith, each will profoundly impact our future, or even the future of our country. I believe in all my fellow classmates. Though we are still inexperienced and even a little bit childish. I believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challenge and take on our responsibilities. We are preparing to assume new responsibilities and tasks, and to use the education we have received to make our world a better place. I believe in our future. 我对未来充满信心 尊敬的评委，各位同学: 下午好～ 最近，社会上有一场很激烈的争论。大学生是一种稀有特权的 享有者，在很棒的地方接受高等教育。但是，我们能面对挑战而 无所畏惧吗,我们能够改善他人的生活吗,我们能够承担建设祖 国未来的重任吗, 怀疑论者说大学生是被宠坏的一代，一丁点挫折都受不了。但 是他们错了，我所看到的大学生正在努力的学习独立生活。我们 互相帮助打扫卫生，一起上街砍价购物，一起参加兼职工作来赚 零花钱。 怀疑论者说我们除了成绩什么都不关心，从而忽略了性格的培 养。但是，他们又错了。我们彼此关心，我们向往自由，我们珍 惜公正，我们追求真理。上个星期，很多我的同学去验血，为了 给患血癌的孩子贡献自己的力量。 作为大学生，我们是处在人生分水岭的青年。我们都面临一个 重要的选择:怀疑人生还是相信自己，每一种都会给我们的人生 带来重大的影响，甚至影响我们祖国的未来。我相信我们的同学 们，虽然我们依然缺乏经验，甚至有些志气，但是我相信我们有 勇气和自信来面对生活的挑战并承担我们的责任。我们正努力准 备接受新的任务，用我们所学习的知识将世界变得更美好。我对 我们的未来充满信心。 大学生英语演讲稿17 Change The Ingredients Of Your Life 十七、 王晨，20岁，安徽 Change The Ingredients Of Your Life This is a glass of water, tasteless, right? However if you add sugar, it will taste sweet, but if you add vinegar, it will become bitter. The same is true with our life____ the flavor is created by our choices. If kindness is added to a strange you will have a friend; but if hostility is added, you will have an enemy. If love is added to a pile of red bricks you will have a home, but if hatred is add to those bricks , you will have an concentration camp. So my dear friends, never complain that life is boring and the world is disappointing. If don‘t like the taste of your life, change the ingredients. Three year ago, I weighed more than 100 hundred kilograms which caused significant embarrassment and frustration in my life. Like always failing my P.E examinations, like always being laughed at by girls, like being terrified to speak in public. It was my grandmother‘s encouragement that revived from my passive attitude to become confident in myself. She said ― My dear, if you can‘t change you figure, why not treat it as your own style. So I began to cautiously employ the new way of thinking. By choosing to change my outlook on life, I developed the confidence to make a difference and finally I found a totally new world. So my dear friend, if faith, hope, love, endurance are added to your life, you will find the confidence to conquer your limitation and embrace new challenges. And hopefully with my speech included, you will have a fantastic speech contest. 改变生活的味道 这是一杯白开水，平淡无味，对吧,可是加上点糖呢，他尝起 来会有甜味;如果加的是苏打水，味道就会变苦。人生同样如此 ——个中滋味在于我们的选择。 善待他人，你会拥有朋友;但如果充满恶意，则会多个敌人。 将爱赋予一堆红砖，你会拥有一个家;用仇恨来浇铸这堆红砖， 就会铸成一座集中营。 因此亲爱的朋友们，不要抱怨人生乏味，世间无望。不喜欢生 活的味道，那就换一换生活的调料吧～ 三年前，我重达100多公斤，这给我带来了很多尴尬和挫折: 体育课老是不及格，总被女孩们嘲笑，更不敢当众发表意见。幸 而由于祖母的鼓励，我不在消极人生，而是充满自信。她曾经说 过:―孩子，如果体形无法改变，为什么不把它看做自己独特的 风格呢,‖ 我开始这样来审视人生，通过改变生活的视角，我信 心大增地去改变我的人生，很快就发现一个崭新的世界。 朋友们，将信念，希望，爱意和忍性溶入生命，你就会找到自 信，克服缺点，迎接人生新的挑战。最后我的演讲包括在内，希 望你会看到一场精彩的演讲比赛。 大学生英语演讲稿16 十六、 杨颖，21岁，海南 The East and the West, Let‘s enjoy the combination of the two cultures? Kipling said:―East is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet!‖ But now, a century later, they have met. They have met in business. They have met in education. They have met in the arts. Some people will argue that these meetings will leave us with a choice between east and west, but I believe that the best future lies in the creative combination of both worlds. We can make western ideas, customs and technology our own, and adapt them to our own use. We can enjoy the best of both worlds, because our tradition is, above all, one of selecting the best and making it our own. I love Beijing and Hennan opera because it always reminds me of who I am. But I am also a fan of pop music, especially English songs. So I have combined eastern melody with western language. It is called western henna opera. When two cultures meet, there may be things in one culture, which do not fit into the tradition of the other. When this happens, we need to learn to understand and respect the customs of another culture. Then there are certain things some people may not like. To this, I will say, if you do not like it, please try to tolerate it. To learn to tolerate what you personally don‘t like is a great virtue at a time when different cultures mix and merge. Before us, there are two rivers, eastern and western cultures. At present, they may run in different courses. But eventually, they will converge into the vast sea of human culture. Right now, I can see peoples of eastern and western cultures, standing side by side, singing the Olympic theme song: we are hand in hand, heart to heart, together we will shape a beautiful tomorrow! Thank you! 让我们共同感受东西方的融合 吉卜林说过:东方是东方，西方是西方，二者永不相聚。但是一个世纪后的今天，东西方相汇了! 它们相聚在经济领域，它们相聚在教育领域，它们相聚在艺术的殿堂。有人争论说:这种融合需要我们在东方和西方之间做出选择，但我却坚信最美好的未来在于东方和西方创造性的融合。我们可以将西方的思想，观念和技术变为我们自己所用的东西。 我喜爱京剧和河南豫剧，因为它们经常使我想起自己是谁。但我也热衷于流行音乐，特别是英文歌曲。于是我将东方的旋律和西方的语言结合到了一起，它叫做西方版的河南豫剧。 当两种文化相结合的时候，也许一方的文化中的某些东西不适应另一方的传统文化。当此种情况出现时，我们需要试着理解并接受另一种文化中的风俗习惯。然而，也许有些东西你并不喜欢，对于此，我可以说，如果你不喜欢它，请试着去容忍它。当两种文化融合的时候，试着去容忍你个人不喜欢的东西是一种美德。 在我们面前有两条河流，东方文化和西方文化。现在，它们也许正朝着不同的方向流去。但是最终它们将汇合到人类文化的海洋里。 就在此时此刻，我看见东方和西方的人肩并肩的站在一起，高唱奥林匹克主题曲:我们手拉手，心靠着心，共同创造美好的明天! 大学生英语演讲稿英语风采大赛半决赛选手自备演讲赏析(大 学成人组) 十五、 黄扬，21，福建 Farewell, Indifference Who was the most well-known figure in China last month? It‘s Ma JiaJue—the college student who murdered 4 of his roommates. Many people attributed his crime to his poverty and deficient education. In my opinion, his crime also has much to do with his classmates‘ indifference. Indifference is a terrible disease in today‘s colleges and the whole society. It‘s not rare that two students who have studied together for 4 years have never spoken to each other. It‘s not rare that a student who has been absent from class for several days is not noticed at all. It‘s also not rare that a student who has severe psychological problems is not cared about at all. Some people may say ?What the students with psychological problems like Ma JiaJue need is not care but psychotherapy.‖ However, when people are ill, what they need most is not only medical treatment, but also care from people around them. Every smile and every caring word will bring sunshine to their life. I once heard one of my roommates who was an introverted girl sobbing at mid-night. Being afraid of disturbing her, I sent a text message to comfort her. The next day, she told me that she was crying for not being invited to one of her friend‘s birthday party. She thought she was neglected by others. But my message was really comforting which told her someone still cared about her.
