高中英語美文朗誦

Look at us today! So many doors are open to us! I believe there have never been such abundant opportunities for self-development as we have today. The doors open to us also pose challenges. Each door is a test of our courage, ability and judgement, but with the support of my teachers, parents and friends, I believe I can meet the challenge head on.

---Excerpt from Hong Ye’s speech

(全國英語演講比賽第九屆全軍:洪曄,南京大學,2004年)

The other night, as I 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 something else, someplace else, a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seemed to have been except the deer. And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it’s time for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.

(全國英語演講比賽第八屆冠軍:顧秋蓓,上海外國語大學,2003年)

Like many young people of my age in China, I want to see my country get prosperous and enjoy respect in the international community. But it seems to me that mere patriotism is not just enough. It is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking and broaden our minds to bigger issues.

---Excerpt from Sun Ning’s speech

(全國英語演講比賽第七屆冠軍:孫寧,北京外國語大學,2002年)

To us young people, challenge often emerges in the form of competition. In the next century, competition will not only come from other college graduates, but also from people of all ages, of all origins. With increasing international exchanges, we have to face growing-competition from the whole outside world. This is calling for a higher level of our personal development.
