初一英语演讲比赛稿

the thinking man's choice contact is made. nerves order the heart to pump faster. adrenalin surges to action. nerves constrict the

blood vessels in the extremities of the body. skin temperature drops. fingers and toes grow colder. blood pressure jump. an alcoholic or a dope addict in the first stages of a "cure"? a man being catapulted into outer space? no! these effects stem from smoking just one cigarette.

the united states public health service is issuing continual warnings to smokers. if they abstain completely from smoking, their chances of acquiring lung cancer will be one in 275. their chances of dying of lung cancer will be one in 10 if they become heavy

smokers─two or more packs a day. lung cancer is fatal in 95 per cent of all cases.

but in spite of glaring evidence and frequent warnings, the public is smoking more and more. the department of agriculture

estimates that this year's consumption of cigarettes will reach 180 packs per person fifteen years of age and over. how many cigarettes does this mean per person?─3600.

why is smoking such an important problem? because smoking is not a mere habit, as so many think it is. no, it is more serious than that. a habit can be broken easily enough, but an addiction cannot. smokers lapse into helplessness! daniel schubert, of the university of chicago, quizzed 226 students at a large northwestern college about their smoking habits─why they started, what satisfaction they got, and if they wanted to stop. according to schubert, they wanted to quit smoking; but they couldn't.

if one is addicted to cigarettes, he is dependent upon them physically, as well as psychologically. what is it, if it is not

addiction, that motivates a man to go out in sub-zero weather to buy a pack of cigarettes? if necessary, he will drive ten miles late at night to find an open drugstore. what is it, if it is not addiction, that makes a moocher of an otherwise charming young girl?

i was talking to a professor not long ago who had just quit smoking. he told me what most of you already know─that once the

habit is started, watch out! it is next to impossible to stop smoking. i asked him how he ever managed to quit when he had been smoking over a pack a day for ten years. listen to his story.

"well, i cut down to one-half pack a day for the first week. i was touchy most of the time. the slightest irritation made my nerves jangle and my head want to explode. the next week i smoked five cigarettes a day and had an even worse case of nerves. then the following week i chewed gum and sucked on mints, candy, and pipe stems. frankly, i wasn't sure from one moment to the next if i could keep going. somehow i made it."

many of you know what this professor is talking about; you, too, have tried to break the addiction, but have failed. in the few

minutes we have here today we can analyze the motives at the root of our smoking problem.

perhaps we can assure those who do not smoke, (and i am happy i can still include myself in this group), to nip in the bud the urges of those who are about to begin smoking, and to encourage to cut-down those who are already confirmed smokers.

let's begin with group pressures. we race to maturity, to grow up all at once. we want poise, selfconfidence, and lots of friends; we want to be accepted.

this need for acceptance reminds me of an incident that occurred in a campus sorority house during the "rushing period" last fall. a sorority member offered a rushee a cigarette. eager to please and not to seem different, the girl blurted out a confident, "oh, yes, i'd love one!" the active struck a match, was calmly extending it toward the rushee when the flustered freshman met the active half-way with cigarette in hand. the active was thunderstruck. you can imagine her mixed emotions while striving to stifle her amusement and at the same time to understand that the poor rushee had never smoked before. in the excitement of the moment she was only concerned with being accepted.

then there is the girl who is seated in a group, not knowing what to do with her hands. first, she rolls and unrolls the curl behind her left ear; then she rummages in her purse for some article to wave as a prop. an inspiration flashes, and she remembers the package of kents in her coat pocket. why didn't she think of them before? she always did think women who smoked looked mature. what a convenient prop to have brought along. convenient? yes, sophisticated? no. years ago, a woman was thought sophisticated if she knew how to smoke. men were impressed. but today the picture is changing, as everyone knows how to smoke─age eleven or up. perhaps now the novelty should be the nonsmoker?


第二篇:英语演讲比赛


英语演讲比赛

为提高同学们的英语口语水平,丰富同学们的课余生活,同时,为了营造校园良好的英语学习氛围,我系学习部于12月x日晚7:00在东区507教室主办了一场“英语演讲比赛”。此次比赛由学习部副部长班开郎主持,有我系08、09级共18名选手参加。担任本次演讲比赛的评委有我系学生会主席团及各部部长。

比赛共分为选手演讲、节目表演、颁奖三个环节。在主持人介绍完出席大赛的评委和规则后比赛正式开始。在演讲过程中,选手们以其独特的风格赢得现场观众的阵阵掌声。他们的口语表达或清新自然,或慷慨激昂,或引人深思,为现场观众带来一场听觉的盛宴。比赛期间,穿插着形式多样的表演,有英语合唱、吉他弹唱、歌伴舞,舞台欢娱,精彩纷呈,让大家紧张的心得到放松。

经过近两个小时的激烈角逐,最终,陈道財同学凭借其清晰而激情洋溢的表达,得体大方的肢体语言征服了现场评委,最终以9.08的高分夺得一等奖。此外,李慧、沈阳和李华、蹇照民、王旭青同学分获二、三等奖,另外,杜庆伟、林昱、孙安廷、王力取得鼓励奖的好成绩。获奖同学由主席团为他们颁奖。
