walls to bridges
im studying in a city
famous for its walls. all visitors to my city are
amazed
by the imposing sight of the city
walls, silhouetted by the setting sun with gold
and shining lines. with old, cracked bricks
patched with lichen, the walls are
weather-
beaten guards, standing still for centuries in
protecting the city.
our ancestors liked
to build walls. they built walls in beijing, xian,
nanjing
and many other cities, and they built
the great wall, which snakes through half of
our country. they built walls to ward off
enemies and evil spirits. this tradition
has
been maintained to this day as we still have many
parks and schools walled off
from the public.
i grew up at the foot of the city walls, and ive
loved them since
my childhood. for a long
time, walls were one of the most natural things in
the world.
my perception, however,
changed after a hiking trip to the eastern
suburbs, a
scenic
area of my city. my
classmates and i were walking with some
international students.
as we walked out of
the city, we found ourselves flanked by taller and
taller trees,
which formed a huge canopy above
our heads. suddenly an international student asked
me, where is the entrance to the eastern
suburbs?
were already in the eastern
suburbs, i replied.
he seemed taken
aback, i thought you chinese have walls for
everything. his remark
set off a heated
debate. at one point, he likened our walled cities
to jails, while
i insisted that the eastern
suburbs were one of the many places in china that
had
no walls.
that debate had no
winners, but i did learn a lot from this
international student.
for instance, he told
me that universities like oxford and cambridge
were not
surrounded by walls; the campuses
were just part of the cities. i have to admit that
we do have many walls in china, and as we are
developing our country, we must carefully
examine them, whether they are physical or
intangible. we will keep some walls but
tear
down those that impede chinas development.
let me give you an example.
a year ago,
when i was working on a term paper, i needed a
book on business law
and found a copy in the
law school library. however, the librarian turned
down my
request with a cold shoulder, saying,
you cant borrow this book, you are not a student
here. in the end, i had to spend 200 yuan
buying a copy; meanwhile, the copy in law
school was gathering dust on the shelf.
at the beginning of this semester, i heard that my
university has started not
only to unify its
libraries but also link them up with libraries of
other universities,
so my experience will not
be repeated. barriers will be replaced by bridges.
through
an inter-library loan system, we will
have access to books from any library. with
globalization, with china integrated
into the world, i believe many of these
intangible walls will be knocked down.
i know globalization is a controversial issue, and
it is hard to say whether it
is good or bad.
but one thing is for sure: it draws our attention
to chinas tangible
and intangible walls and
forces us to examine their roles in the modern
world.
and how about the ancient walls
in my city and other cities? should we tear them
down? just the opposite. my city, like beijing
and other cities, is actually making
a great
effort to preserve the walls. these walls attract
not only historians and
archeologists but also
many schoolchildren trying to study our history
and cultural
heritage. walls have turned into
bridges to our past and to the rest of the world.
if the ancient builders of these walls were
still alive today, they would be proud
to see
such great change in the
role of their
walls. they are now bridges that link east and
west, south and north,
and all countries of
the world. our cultural heritage will survive
globalization.

one flower or many flowers

it has always been our dream to open our
childrens hearts. we encourage them to
describe their dreams, and acted as if we are
ready to accept their thoughts. but
the fact
is that, children are scared by the zero marked on
their papers. they are
trained to say what we
want to hear.

演讲稿:our future: a battle between dreams and
reality
good afternoon, ladies and
gentlemen:
when i was in the primary
school, i have a dream. i want to invent a device
which
could bring you from one place to
another in no time at all. when i was in the
secondary
school, my dream was to study in my
ideal university. and when eventually i got into
the university, my dream was to graduate.
ladies and gentlemen, the reality is not
real. it is a barrier keeping us from
all the
possible fantasies. flying, for example, had been
a dream to mankind for
thousands of years. a
hundred years ago, man could not fly was still
regarded as the
reality. now if that was
really the reality, what did the wright brothers
do? how
did some of you get to macau? only
when we believe that the reality is not real can
we soar with our dreams.
people say
that our future is a battle between the reality
and our dreams. and
if, unfortunately, mr.
reality wins this war, then i see no future of
mankind at all.
aids will never be curable as
this is the reality; people living in the
undeveloped
countries will suffer from
starvation forever as this is the reality;

different countries would
never be settled as this篇二:21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比

crossing the sea
good
afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. the title of my
speech today is crossing
the sea. an english
poet by the name of rudyard kipling once wrote in
his poem we
and they:
all the people
like us are we
and everyone else is they
we live over the sea
while they
live over the way
we eat pork and beef
with cowhorn-handled knives
they who
gobble their rice off a leaf
(转载于:21世纪英语演讲比赛官网)are horrified out of their
lives.
when these lines first caught my
eyes, i was shocked-how could two peoples remain
so isolated and ignorant of each other in the
past? todays society, of course, is
an
entirely different picture. those people who used
to eat with cowhorn-handled
knives might be
very skillful in using chopsticks, and those
people who used to gobble
their rice might be
as well have taken to fish and chips.
indeed, just take china as an example: our modern
life has been influenced by
western style of
living in so many ways that its no longer
surprising to see teenagers
going crazy about
rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at
mcdonalds and even
rather elderly people
dressed in apple jeans.
however, these
are only some expressions of the cultural changes
taking place
in our society today. what is
really going on is a subtle but significant
restructuring
of the nations mentality. just
look around.
it is therefore evident that
we as descendants of an ancient eastern
civilization
are already living under strong
inf1uence of the western culture. but it is not
only
in china that we find the incorporation
of the two cultures.
take the chinese
acupuncture as another example: this traditional
treatment of
diseases is finally finding its
way to the west and hence the underlying notion
that
illness is resulted from the imbalance
between yin and yang within the body -- an
idea which would strike any westerner as
incredible in the past!
ladies and
gentlemen, we live in a great epoch when the
global integration of
economy and the
information revolution have brought cultures of
the world closer than
ever before. we live in
a particular era when countries, east and west,
find themselves
in need of readjusting their
traditional values. we live, at the same time, at
a
critical juncture of our evolution because
such problems as ethnic conflicts and
regional
uest are increasingly posing a threat to the peace
and happiness of the whole
human race. to cope
with such an era and to embrace an even brighter
therefore, it is our sacred responsibility
to promote the cultural exchanges and
hence
the mutual understanding between china and the
rest of the world.
it is my happiest
dream that the new generation of chinese will not
only grow
up drinking coca-cola and watching
hollywood, but also be blessed with the
far-
reaching benefits of multiple cultures; benefits
that our forefathers had never,
ever
dreamed of.
to end my speech, i would
like to quote rudyard kipling again:
all
the people like us are we
and everyone
else is they
but once you cross over the
sea
you will end by looking on we
as only a sort of they thank you.

女士们、先生们,晚上好。今天,我演讲的题目是:《穿越海洋》。
英国诗人罗得雅德·吉卜林曾写过一首诗,名叫《我们与他们》,其中写道:
像我们的人是我们
其余的人是他们
我们生活在海这边
他们生活在路那边
我们用牛角柄的刀叉吃猪牛肉
吞吃粽叶包饭的他们吓得要死。
第一次读到这首诗,我很震惊——过去两个民族何以如此
疏离、彼此陌生?当然今日的社
会呈现出完全不同的情景:那些过去吃米饭的人们也开始喜欢吃鱼和薯条
。
的确如此,就拿中国来说,西方的生活方式已经广泛地影响了我们的现代生活,以致对

不久以前,大学生还只是束
手空坐,等待政府给他们分配工作;如今,又有多少大学生正
在做充分准备,为争取任何工作机会而激烈
角逐?
20年前年轻人还完全依靠父母为他们安排未来,今天又有多少年轻人在急切地寻
