第1篇 关于选择的英语演讲稿
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 reat potential.
all of these sound good. but they are only possibilities. to those of us who are bewildered at the abundance of opportunities, i would like to say: to choose means to accept challenge.
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 and 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.
fifteen years ago, the knowledge of a foreign language or of computer operation was considered merely an advantage. but today, with wider educational opportunities, this same knowledge has become essential to everyone.
given this situation, even our smallest choices will require great wisdom and personal determination.
as we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also becomes more important.
as we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also becomes more important.
nuclear power, for instance, may improve our quality of life. but it can also be used to damage the lives and possessions of millions.
economic development has enriched our lives but brought with it serious harm to our air, water and health.
to those of us who are blind to the consequences of their choices, i would like to say, to choose means to take responsibility. when we are making choices for ourselves, we cannot casually say: "it's just my own business. " as policy makers of the next century, we cannot fail to see our responsibility to those who share the earth with us.
the traditional chinese culture teaches us to study hard and work hard so as to honor our family. to me, however, this family is not just the five of us who quarreled over television programmes. rather, it is the whole of the human family. as i am making my choices, i will not forget the smile of my teacher when i correctly spelled out the word "china" for the first time, i will not forget the happy faces of the boys and girls we helped to send back to school in the mountains of jiangxi province. i will not forget the tearful eyes of women and children in bosnia, chechnya and somali, where millions are suffering from war, famine or poverty.
第2篇 关于选择的励志演讲稿
尊敬的各位领导，亲爱的各位同事：
我是一名毕业不久的大学生，我有许多同学落脚在繁华的都市，我也曾有许多美好的梦想，希望走入繁华的都市一展身手，我也曾整装待发准备成为一名城市白领，然而随着时光迁移，城市无趣的生活对我心灵的涤荡最终使我明白教育才是我正确的选择，我报考了20**年的特岗教师，选择了我的家乡， 因为我坚信 “如果有一种生活，你没有经历过，就不知道其中的艰辛；如果有一种艰辛，你没有体会过，就不知道其中的快乐；如果有一种快乐，你没有拥有过，就不知道其中的幸福”，这也是特岗生活所带给我的感悟。
说实话，当我成为颜村铺乡小学一名老师的时候，心里感觉些许的紧张与激动。紧张，是因为第一次面对这么多求知若渴的学生，不知道怎样说才好；激动，则是因为我是以老师的身份站在讲台上站在了家乡教育的舞台上。好在伴随着孩子们亲切可爱的笑脸，孜孜不倦的虚心学习态度，伴随着各位前辈老师的帮助与指导，伴随着校领导无微不至的关怀，如今 曾经的忐忑已逐渐变得稳健，对教学方法的掌握由生疏也变得熟练，无论哪一种发生在我身上的变化，都是在颜村铺小学里完成的。为此，我想由衷地说一声：感谢各位领导，感谢各位老师。
老师并不是我小时候的理想。也许是缘分的选择？也或许是大学毕业为了规避就业压力的选择 ？对于今天选择了老师这一职业的我，不是因为喜欢而选择，却是因为选择而喜欢，当然，这一切主要是来自于我的学生们的力量。每一天早晨，学生们那句：“老师好！”的问候给我带来了一天的快乐； 每一天放学后，随着一声声：“老师，再见！”给我留下了明天的希望。
记得，有一位老师对我说“一个好的教师将会影响孩子的一生”，当时我非常的不理解这句话，直到我工作了一段时间以后，我才真正理解和认同了它。当教师确实是一个良心活， 在我们的生活中很多事情做错了还有改正的机会；一个物体损坏了， 还可以再补救，但是对于学生来说， 如果耽误了学习和受教育的机会， 将影响他一生的前途和命运，学生的可塑性是很大的，他们需要我们的正确指引。所以我们必须要用高度的责任感和爱心去引导和教育学生。
如果说当初特岗的选择是为了规避就业所带来的压力的话，那现在的我应该为这种规避而感到庆幸，我无悔当初的选择。今天站在这里，我想说的是：我会用行动去证明，为我选择的职业而努力，争做一名优秀的人民教师。
任前方荆棘丛生，我将持之以恒，茫茫学海中，我争取做勇敢的水手，与所有老师一起，乘风破浪，共赴前程。
青春的脚步如行云流水，青春的岁月容不得半点浪费，让我们把握好生命中的每一天，以激情为旗，用青春作注，在平凡的岗位上做出不平凡的业绩。
各位同事，我相信，经过我们大家的辛勤耕耘，我们的教育事业一定会迈上一个新台阶。我愿在这三尺讲台上，阅历春秋，苦苦耕耘，用我的爱心、诚心、细心和耐心去换取学生的开心，家长的放心！
最后： 祝各位领导、各位老师工作顺利、家庭幸福！
我的演讲到此结束，谢谢大家！
