英語(yǔ)比賽演講稿1
East and West have met
runner-up: Rui Cheng gang, Foreign Affair College
Honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen:
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 would argue that these meetings leave us with a choice between East and West ,but I believe 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 all worlds, because our tradition is, above all, one of selecting the best and making it our own.
But, do Western styles and values threaten our identity?
History makes it easy for us to think so-perhaps too easy.
Some people seem to think that adopting Western customs, such as a bride wearing white-which has long been a color of mourning in China, instead of the traditional Chinese red for her wedding, is another submission to foreign intervention,--a betrayal of our heritage, they say.
They fear that as we become "globalized", we will no longer be Chinese.
I do not agree.
History teachers that a strong and confident nation is at ease in hearing from the outside world.
The wedding of Eastern and Western cultures, whether in white gowns or red, brings us variety.
It is a rich banquet of special foods from all over the world.
As an amateur gourmet of Chinese cuisine, our superb flavours delight me.
But my Chinese taste appreciates food from any land.
I even allow the convenience of McDonald's a place in my life without giving up my good taste.
My grandfather taught me to hum tunes of Beijing opera from the time I was very young; they are deep in my spirit, part of my soul.
I love Beijing opera, because it always reminds me of who I am.
But I am also a fan of modern pop music, the No.1 fan of Spice Girls on campus.
of course, it goes far beyond food, music and dance. It goes into values and ways of thinking about the world.
Once upon a time, or so my teacher told me, a Chinese boy and an American girl had a squabble.
Both wanted to keep a bunny rabbit they had found in the garden.
Surely you've seen a rabbit sunning himself in the grass.
Nothing is more lovable, nothing more natural. No wonder they wanted him. The Chinese boy played his er-hu. Happiness and joy, longing and passion, filled the air. The little rabbit swayed gently and began to move his ears in the direction of the music. He liked what he heard.
The girl then took out her violin and played it to produce beautiful melodies of her own.
The rabbit began to bounce in her direction.
So intent were the children on their own music that neither paid the other any attention.
The competing melodies confused the little rabbit and he did not know which way to turn .Unable to attract the little creature, both children gave up ;they walked away, in different directions, leaving the rabbit. . .alone.
But, what if they listened ,what if they really heard each other's music, instead of always playing their own tunes?
When I hear the music of a violin ,rich with the joys of men and women who came together and sang and danced.. . I hear echoes of the music of the grass lands, of the hills, of the rivers...of my own native land.
Is music mine and yours, or is it ours?
What I want to hear is the er-hu and the violin played together, in rhythm and in tune. Together, we can produce new and beautiful music, rich with textures and sounds that can only be made in harmony.
The rabbit sits in the grass in the ever-warming sun. Waiting for us to play, waiting for the symphony to begin.
Will he have to wait forever? The choice is ours . Thank you.
尊敬的評(píng)委、女士們、先生們：吉卜林說(shuō)過(guò)，“東方是東方，西方是西方，兩者永不聚!”然而如今，在一個(gè)世紀(jì)之后，東西方相聚了。
它們?cè)谫Q(mào)易中相聚，在教育中相聚，在藝術(shù)中相聚。
有人爭(zhēng)論說(shuō)這種東西方之聚,使得我們能夠在東西方中作出選擇.然而我相信最美好的未來(lái)在于東西方世界的創(chuàng)造性的結(jié)合，我們可以變西方的觀念、習(xí)俗、技術(shù)為己所有，為己所用;我們可以享受兩上不同世界之精華，總之，我們的傳統(tǒng)之一就是擇其精華，為己所用。
然而，西方的生活方式和價(jià)值會(huì)威脅到我們的民族特色嗎?
歷史讓我們輕易相信——也許是太輕易地讓我們相信此說(shuō)了。
有人似乎認(rèn)為彩西方習(xí)俗，比如新娘結(jié)婚穿白色婚紗，是對(duì)外國(guó)介入的屈服，是對(duì)傳統(tǒng)遺產(chǎn)的背叛，因?yàn)榘粗袊?guó)傳統(tǒng)，結(jié)婚新娘要穿紅色，而白色長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)代表的是哀悼。
這些人擔(dān)心一量我們變得全球化，我們也就不在是中國(guó)人了。
我不這樣認(rèn)為。
歷史告訴我們：一個(gè)強(qiáng)大自信的民族學(xué)起外面的世界易如反掌 。
無(wú)論是穿白衣還是黑衣，還是東西方異質(zhì)文化的聯(lián)姻，都給我們帶來(lái)多姿多采的生活。
東西方異質(zhì)文化的聯(lián)姻是一席來(lái)自世界各地佳肴的盛宴。
身為中國(guó)菜的業(yè)余美食家，我喜歡民族的佳肴。
然而我的中國(guó)口味也欣賞異國(guó)的風(fēng)味。
生活中我為簡(jiǎn)便吃麥當(dāng)勞，卻不會(huì)放棄自己的良好口味。
從小祖父就教我哼唱京劇，京劇深入我的精神之中，成為我靈魂的一部分。
我熱愛京劇，因?yàn)榫﹦∽屛铱傁肫鹱约菏钦l(shuí)。
但是我也迷戀現(xiàn)代流行音樂(lè)，在學(xué)校里還是“辣味女孩”的.頭號(hào)歌迷。
當(dāng)然，異質(zhì)文化的交流遠(yuǎn)不止于食物、音樂(lè)和舞蹈，它深入到價(jià)值觀和世界觀。 有一次老師給我講了一個(gè)中國(guó)男孩和一個(gè)美國(guó)女孩發(fā)生爭(zhēng)執(zhí)的故事。
在花園里他們倆發(fā)現(xiàn)了一只小兔，兩人都想要。
你肯定見過(guò)草叢中曬太陽(yáng)的小兔。
沒什么東西比小兔子更可愛的，更富有自然情趣了，難怪他們兩人都想要它。
男孩拉起了二胡，愉快喜悅的琴聲，充滿了渴望和激情，回蕩在空中，小兔子聽著這音樂(lè)輕輕搖擺，耳朵轉(zhuǎn)向音樂(lè)，它喜愛男孩的琴聲。
女孩也取出小提琴，拉出悠揚(yáng)的旋律。
小兔子聽了朝她跑去。
兩人都全神貫注于自己的音樂(lè)，絲毫沒注意對(duì)方演奏的音樂(lè)。
炕雜在一塊的音樂(lè)困惑了小兔子，它不知該朝哪走。男孩和女孩都不能將小兔子吸引過(guò)來(lái)，只好放棄，各自走開了，扔下小兔子獨(dú)自一人。
然而倘若他們傾聽對(duì)方的音樂(lè)，而不是各自為歌，那么結(jié)果會(huì)如何呢?
當(dāng)我聽到小提琴聲響起，男男女女走道一起又唱又跳，樂(lè)聲中充滿了歡樂(lè)， 此時(shí)我也聽見了草原上、山谷間、小河旁傳來(lái)得我們本民族的音樂(lè)的回聲。
音樂(lè)分你我，還是屬于我們大家?
我想聽的是二胡與小提琴的合奏，旋律與節(jié)奏和諧一致。
大家一起才能創(chuàng)造出新穎動(dòng)聽音樂(lè)， 只有在和諧中大家才能創(chuàng)造出富有神韻的樂(lè)聲。
在溫暖的陽(yáng)光中，小兔子在等待著我們一起演奏，等待著交響樂(lè)開始。
他有必要再永遠(yuǎn)的等下去嗎?決擇在于我們自己。謝謝。
英語(yǔ)比賽演講稿2
Honorable teachers, ladies and gentlemen, and my fellow sutdents:
Good morning! It’s my pleasure to stand here to make a speech. First of all , let me introduce myself. My name is TongYao. I am from Class 2 Grade 7 in ChengGong middle school ! Today , my topic is : "Innovative Thinking"
Have you ever thought that what is Innovative Thinking ? Somebody will said ,"thinking something different !" In fact, it’s not so simple. Have you ever thought how to think something different ? Now , let me explain it to you in detail !
First , we should admit that Innovative ideas do start in one mind before taking on the world. Only in this way ,we have the power of Innovation . For example , the radio, television, telephone and so on, all were developed by scientists . And these scientists all had the ability and courage to think something different . It is a well know fact that Albert Einstein was the mastermind of the nuclear bombs .
Second , we should be good at discovering , and be able to break the conventions. Sometimes, there are a lot of subjects of Innovation around us . But more often we lack the ability of discovering So, only if we be good at discovering and summing up ,we can innovate lly, I want to say , as a middle school student in the new century, we must have the courage and confidence to make innovations.)And we should study hard for development of our country ! Because we are the builders of our motherland !
Honorable teachers, ladies and gentlemen, and my fellow sutdents，according to what I have said above , have you learnt more about the "Innovative Thinking" ? Of course ,you have ! I believe my speech is perfect ! And I also believe that as long as we expand our thinking , we will find something different . That’ s all ! Thank you for your listening!

Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen,
By the time we are born onto this land, our own Chinese story begins. Only when we put our stories together, can we discover something new.
My mom was among the first generation in China to pick up a dual major, trade together with English. Her mom, my grandma, was a professor at the same college. And now, I am following my family’s footsteps, at the same university. I want to accomplish a dream that has been passed on for three generations.
When grandma entered college, she was in the age of prime, but education wasn’t. It was an age when China had a literacy of merely over 50 percent; it was an age when one out of eight got enrolled by a university or college; it was an age when even the top-class universities in China were not recognized by the world. It was with the aspiration of changing education for the better that my grandma became a teacher, in pursuit of teaching students at home and learning more about the abroad.
When my mother crossed the threshold of higher education into college, she was experiencing the tides of the Reform and Opening-up. It was an age when China was ready to embrace the world. With the demand for English talents staying high, she brought her talents to the field of international trade, with the hope of broadening her horizon and telling her international clients a Chinese story.
30 years later, it is already a new era when I step into the classroom where my mom and my grandma studied. The ambience in the renovated classroom is urging me to embark on a new journey; yet on the bookshelf, the books passed on since my grandma’s age is reminding me of a dream that has never changed: becoming a language scholar with a global vision, and be a good narrator of the Chinese story.
I took out my grandma’s notebook, which was already old and gray, trying to learn something new from the past. On the frontpage, wrote one of the earliest Chinese stories, taken from the Great Learning: “If you can do something new, then let it happen every day. With perseverance, every day becomes a new day.”
It was the moment when I realized that there has been something unchanged in the new era: that is always equipping ourselves with the new ideas and keep in pace with the time which never waits. Only by bearing this virtue in our minds that has inherited by the Chinese people for 5,000 years, can we gain both the confidence and the competence in telling a good Chinese story to all.
Tell the Chinese story to the Chinese people, for a new China with cultural confidence; tell the Chinese story to every global citizen, and together we build a community of prosperity, peace, and a shared future. The story of my mom, my grandma and myself will always remind me of the mission of a language learner.
I’m now crossing the threshold into a New Era, and now I fell I am ready to tell a new Chinese story to new audience. Thank you very much!

Honorable judges, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:
It is a great honor and pleasure to be here on this beautiful Saturday morning to share with you my sentiments about life and passion for the English language.
About a year and a half ago, I took part in my very first English Speech Contest. When I stood before the microphone with all eyes starring directly at me, I could hardly speak. I stood there, embarrassed and helpless, struggling in vain for the right thing to say. My fears had paralyzed me.
While my passion for English has never changed, I lost my courage to speak in public. When my professor again encouraged me to take part in this Competition, I said “no.” I couldn’t endure yet another painful experience. He looked me straight in the eye and said something that pierced my heart. I will never forget his words. “Look,” he said, “We all have our fears, and you have yours. You could twist your ankle in a basketball game, but then be afraid to ever play again. Running away can never dispel your fears, but action will. A winner is not one who never fails，but one who never quits.”
I spent a whole day with his words twisting and turning in my mind. Then I made the bravest and wisest decision of my life: I would face my fears – and take part in the competition!
As it turned out, my dear old professor was right. Now, here I am, once again standing before a microphone. My heart is beating fast, and my mouth is dry, but most importantly, I have faced my fears -- and that makes all the difference!
Thank you.

on my birthday two years ago， many special things happened on me。 and i would
remember them forever。
that morning， i rode my bike to school happily as usual。 on my way to the
classroom， i saw some of my classmates。 but when they saw me， they rushed away。 that made me confused。 because they would talk to me or play jokes on me before。 but it was strange today。
when i came into the classroom， i found the atmosphere was quite strange。
everybody looked at me and laughed loudly。 suddenly they all said in good order，“happy birthday to you!” then they began to sing “happy birthday to you~~~~~~” that made me moved。 i never told anyone about my birthday， how did they know? i believed they must have done a lot of things。 at that moment， i found nothing to say but thanks instead!
after school， a thing ing as a surprise happened on me on my way back home。 when i was riding suddenly a crowed of people rushed out to stopped my bike。i recogized them at once。 they were my senior classmates。 they all lained to me，“why don't you tell us about your birthday? don't you fear that we will let you stand treat? this time you owe us�！� then each of them gave a gift and a card with best wishes to me。 i was deeply moved again。 i suggested having a dinner together。 but they all refused because of the time。 then they left me saying we would ask you to pay us another day!
when i got back home， i thought of everything happened today。 suddenly i felt so happy because i had such great friends around me。 i thanked them from the bottom of my heart。 i would value the precious friendship forever!
i have so many feelings through that special day。 the only rose without thorns in the world is friendship。 a true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart。 truly great friends are hard to find， difficult to leave， and impossible to forget。 one friend in a lifetime is much， two are many， three are hardly possible。 stick to make friends， forlife without friends is like life on a desert island。 to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune， to keep him is a blessing。
thank you for your attention!

first, i would like to know, what does your destiny offer you? happiness, wisdom, a strong body or something else. if i had asked this question to president nixon, he would probably had said,”our destiny offers not the cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity.” needless to say, one of the biggest opportunities given to china is the XX olympic games. till now, we have used two sevenths of the preparation time. how much changes have you seen? new roads, new subway lines, public-exercising equipments with beautiful colors, large blocks of grass fields, and also lots of modern gyms which are under construction. other than those, there are even more good effects brought to us by the olympic games that cannot be seen directly. for example, more and more people will get to know china. i’m sure the mysterious chinese culture will attract them strongly. and the games will also do good to the economy and environment, for it is gaining the attention of foreign investors and the awareness of environmental protection is being strengthened. what is more, olympic games give a unique opportunity to inspire and educate a new generation of chinese youth with the olympic values and the olympic spirit.
now that we have seen so many advances, could you even imagine us losing the holding rights? i’ve already said a lot about the olympics and china. but i think everyone should use some time to think of this question, ”does the olympic games have any special meaning to you?” for us, i mean the chinese youth, XX olympic games is a tremendous gift. because what we are waiting for is to do something significant as repaying the love given to us .the society is just like a ship, and in our dreams the captain is waving his hand and saying ”hey! come here and take the helm! ”how charming his voice is, but we have never heard of it in our true life. this morning, however, when we wake up, we will see the olympi ic games waving its hand. after chewing, most of us will have at least one plan about what to do for the olympic games. and mine is to be a “comforter” ----that is someone who will give comfort to others. at the end of my speech, i hope all the preparation will go well, and everyone will show their ability to the world. let us seize opportunities and give a big smile to challenges.

Distinguished judges, teachers, dear friends:
Hello, everyone! My name is cheng xiang yan , I am a junior student come from life science institution .Today, I am very glad to stand here and share with you my most sincere speech‘Flying youth, master our future!’
Life is a process of growing up. Saying goodbye to childhood, we step into another important time of life in the pace of young, facing new situations, dealing with different problems.....
However, who can really say what the youth is ? A period of time? A belief?An attitude to life? Or anything else? actually, everyone has his ownunderstanding of young, it is a period of time of beauty and wonders, only after you have experienced the sour , sweet ,bitter and salty, can you really become a person of significance.
Just like A famous poet said ‘ youth is a lovely song ,where nothing is impossible ,youth is a meaningful book, you’ll be never bored of it ;youth is a rapid river ,it keeps on flowing day and night ;youth is a cup of tea ,it shows you different kinds of tastes in your life. ’
As youth is so precious, of course, we must treasure it .Don’t let the limited time pass by, grasping the young will means a better time is waiting for you in the near future.
So,It’s necessary for us to prepare ourselves well for the future to come. having a view on those great men in the history of hunman being, they all made full use of their youth time to do things that are useful to society, to the whole mankind, and as a consequence ,they are remembered by later generations, admired by everyone. so do something in the time of young, although you may not get achievements as these greatmen did ,though not for the whole world, just for youeself, for those around!
So, what should we do when we are young? Here,I’ll point out some tips to help equip ourselves.
First of all,think of what you’d like to be some day. A teacher ? A doctor ? A writer? Don’t afraid of dreaming of big and great .Since you are young , you can dream of doing anything and becoming anyone in the future.
What’s more , never ignore the power of knowledge. Read more books and travel around. For one thing, it can increase your knowledge, for another, it’ll broaden your horizon.
Last but not the least , stick to your dream. It easier said than done. After all, future is not all roses. young is just like blooming flowers, they are so beautiful when blooming, which make people feel happy, but with time passing by, after they withers ,most people think they are ugly. and so it is the same with young, we are enthusiastic when we are young, then we may lose our passion when getting older and older. So we should have enough courage and determination to overcome all the difficulties in struggling on the road.
I firmly believe one sentence that‘If you think you can, of course you can!’Just believe we can make it! Keep on walking towards our dream. Flying youth , master our future. From today, from now on , are you Ready ?
That’s all. Thank you so much for your attention !

大學(xué)英語(yǔ)演講比賽2女士們先生們，下午好！
我。我很高興站在這里給你做一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)短的演講。今天我的話題是& ldquo青春& rdquo。我希望你會(huì)喜歡它，并發(fā)現(xiàn)你年輕時(shí)的重要性，以便更珍惜它。
首先我想問(wèn)你幾個(gè)問(wèn)題:
1、你知道什么是青春?jiǎn)幔?、你如何把握自己的青春？
青春不是人生的一段時(shí)光，它是一種心境；這不是玫瑰色的臉頰，紅色的嘴唇和柔軟的膝蓋，這是一個(gè)情感的問(wèn)題:這是新鮮；這是生命深泉的清新。
青春意味著一種氣質(zhì)上的優(yōu)勢(shì)，勇氣戰(zhàn)勝了欲望的膽怯，冒險(xiǎn)戰(zhàn)勝了對(duì)安逸的熱愛。60歲的男人比20歲的男孩更容易出現(xiàn)這種情況。沒有人僅僅因?yàn)槟挲g而變老。我們因放棄理想而變老。
歲月使皮膚起皺，但放棄熱情會(huì)使靈魂起皺。擔(dān)憂、恐懼、自我& ndash不信任扭曲心靈，使精神化為灰燼。
無(wú)論是16歲還是60歲，每個(gè)人都有& lsquo的心是奇跡的誘惑，對(duì)事物永恒的童心。接下來(lái)是生活游戲的樂(lè)趣。在你我的內(nèi)心深處。s是一個(gè)無(wú)線電臺(tái):只要它接收到來(lái)自人類和宇宙的美好、希望、歡樂(lè)、勇氣和力量的信息，只要你還年輕。
當(dāng)天線倒塌時(shí)，你的精神被玩世不恭和悲觀厭世的冰雪覆蓋，那么你就老了，即使你只有20歲，但只要你豎起天線，捕捉樂(lè)觀的信號(hào)，你就有希望在80歲時(shí)英年早逝。
謝謝！

Building Bridges for the Future
I’m studying in a city that’s famous for its walls。 People who visit my city are amazed at the imposing sight of its walls， especially when silhouetted against the setting sun with gold， shining streaks。 The old， cracked bricks are covered with lichens and the walls are weather-beaten guards standing still for centuries。
Our ancestors liked to build walls。 They built walls in Beijing， Xi’an， Nanjing and many other cities， and they built the Great Wall， which snakes across half our country。 They built walls to protect against enemies and evil spirits。 This tradition has survived to this day: we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public。
For a long time， walls were one of the most natural things in the world to me。
My perceptions， however， changed after I made a hiking trip to the eastern suburbs of my city。 My classmates and I were walking with some foreign students。 As we walked out of the city， we found ourselves flanked by tall trees， which formed a wide canopy above our heads。 Suddenly one foreign student asked me， “Where is the entrance to the eastern suburbs?”
“We’re already in the eastern suburbs，” I replied。 He seemed taken aback， “I thought you Chinese had 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 student。 For instance， he told me that some major universities like Oxford and Cambridge were not surrounded by walls。 I have to admit that we do have many walls in China， and as we develop our country， we must look carefully at them and decide whether they are physical or intangible。 We will keep some walls but tear down those that impede our development。
Let me give another 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 coldly rejected my request to borrow it， saying， “You can’t borrow this book， you’re not a student here�！� In the end， I had to spend 200 yuan to buy a copy。 Meanwhile， the copy in the law school gathered dust on the shelf。
At the beginning of this semester， I heard that my university had started to think of unifying its libraries and linking them to libraries at other universities， so my experience wouldn’t be repeated。 Barriers would be replaced by bridges。 An inter-library loan system would give us access to books from any library。 With globalization and China integrated into the world， I believe many of these intangible walls will be knocked down。
I know that 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 China’s tangible and intangible walls and forces us to examine their role in the modern world。
And how about the ancient walls of mine and other cities? Should we tear them down? Definitely not。 My city， like Beijing and other cities， is actually XXX a great effort to preserve the walls。 These walls attract historians， archaeologists， and many schoolchildren who are trying to study our history and cultural heritage。 Walls have become 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 changes 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。

when i was nine years old i went off to summer camp for the first time. and my mother packed me a suitcase full of books, which to me seemed like a perfectly natural thing to do. because in my family, reading was the primary group activity. and this might sound antisocial to you, but for us it was really just a different way of being social. you have the animal warmth of your family sitting right next to you, but you are also free to go roaming around the adventureland inside your own mind. and i had this idea that camp was going to be just like this, but better. (laughter) i had a vision of 10 girls sitting in a cabin cozily reading books in their matching nightgowns.
(laughter)
camp was more like a keg party without any alcohol. and on the very first day our counselor gathered us all together and she taught us a cheer that she said we would be doing every day for the rest of the summer to instill camp spirit. and it went like this: “r-o-w-d-i-e, that's the way we spell rowdie. rowdie, rowdie, let's get rowdie.“ yeah. so i couldn't figure out for the life of me why we were supposed to be so rowdy, or why we had to spell this word incorrectly. (laughter) but i recited a cheer. i recited a cheer along with everybody else. i did my best. and i just waited for the time that i could go off and read my books.
but the first time that i took my book out of my suitcase, the coolest girl in the bunk came up to me and she asked me, “why are you being so mellow?“ -- mellow, of course, being the exact opposite of r-o-w-d-i-e. and then the second time i tried it, the counselor came up to me with a concerned expression on her face and she repeated the point about camp spirit and said we should all work very hard to be outgoing.
and so i put my books away, back in their suitcase, and i put them under my bed, and there they stayed for the rest of the summer. and i felt kind of guilty about this. i felt as if the books needed me somehow, and they were calling out to me and i was forsaking them. but i did forsake them and i didn't open that suitcase again until i was back home with my family at the end of the summer.
now, i tell you this story about summer camp. i could have told you 50 others just like it -- all the times that i got the message that somehow my quiet and introverted style of being was not necessarily the right way to go, that i should be trying to pass as more of an extrovert. and i always sensed deep down that this was wrong and that introverts were pretty excellent just as they were. but for years i denied this intuition, and so i became a wall street lawyer, of all things, instead of the writer that i had always longed to be -- partly because i needed to prove to myself that i could be bold and assertive too. and i was always going off to crowded bars when i really would have preferred to just have a nice dinner with friends. and i made these self-negating choices so reflexively, that i wasn't even aware that i was making them.
now this is what many introverts do, and it's our loss for sure, but it is also our colleagues' loss and our communities' loss. and at the risk of sounding grandiose, it is the world's loss. because when it comes to creativity and to leadership, we need introverts doing what they do best. a third to a half of the population are introverts -- a third to a half. so that's one out of every two or three people you know. so even if you're an extrovert yourself, i'm talking about your coworkers and your spouses and your children and the person sitting next to you right now -- all of them subject to this bias that is pretty deep and real in our society. we all internalize it from a very early age without even having a language for what we're doing.

The Dream Came True I wanna welcome everybody here in this cheer team. Thank you for coming here this morning to stand on my side cheering me on. It’s my dream to have the opportunity to challenge all the foreign athletes to the championship at this great occasion: 20xx Olympic Games. Now, the dream came true. As an athlete of China, I’m here to win the gold medal of orienteering for our motherland. I’m so proud of being one of the best players in the world. But could you believe I had been a lazy girl when I was in Junior High. I’m not kidding! At that time, running was my last favorite. I really don’t know how to describe the first time I was on the track. It was horrible. When I started to run, I was simply out of breath. And while I touched the finishing line, I really didn’t know if I was still alive. It’s so funny, huh? But it’s true, I did. Well, something happened and changed the situation. We won the right of holding the Olympic Games in 20xx. After that, sports became a kind of game in campus. And there are many sports clubs in school. One day someone asked me:“are you gonna try one of those?”First I felt so wired. “Try to get into sports clubs? Are you kidding?” I said. And she goes: “Why not?? It’s not hard at all, and so fascinating!” So I did tried one and I was so lucky to become one of those who did orienteering. That is a fantastic sport! You need to run and find where to go just by using a map and a compass. It’s wasn’t popular in China at first. But when we heard it might become a new event in 20xx, we did practiced hard, and aimed to win the first Champion of orienteering in the world. When we practiced, there were a lot of troubles. You know, sometimes you need to go with your feet, but sometimes you need to go with your heart. In some situations, we faced the difficulties and problems. And we need to solve that through teamwork and strong willpower. So we can run faster, go higher and be stronger. That is what we say—Olympic spirit. Now the dream came true. I’m standing here with all my body and my heart put in sports. So do the people from all over the world to HERE at the Olympic Games. It’s the Olympic Games that make us together. We are here for a big day of sport; we are here for a dream of sports. We are here for a spirit of sport that encourages us to face the difficulties of today and tomorrow.

The East and the West, Lets 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 dont 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!
