It is my great honor to be with you today for the commencement.

First of all, please allow me, on behalf of all the graduate students, to show our

appreciation to all the teachers who have been teaching and guiding us in the past four years in this department and this school. Without your help, we would not make it here. Well, I have a suggestion here. All the graduate students please stand up.

Teachers, please remain in your seats. Let’s give our warmest applause to our dearest teachers. Thank you. Take your seat please.

Time flies! Four years have gone away in a blink. In these four years, the greeting party gave us warmth, the New Year party showed our passion, the writing contest cultivated our sentiment and the debate competition enhanced our logic. We experienced so much, and harvested so much. All these four years footprints have witnessed our growth. And then, step by step, we finally made it to the destination.

Graduation is not the end; it is the beginning. Graduation is only a concept. In real life, every day you graduate. Graduation goes on until the last day of our life. Today is the day we graduate from Capital Normal University and today is also the day we step into the university of society. We are going to carry forward the traditions and make achievements for ourselves, our parents, our school and our country. Here, my best wishes to every one of graduate student. We are confident that we are going to make it.

Again we want to thank all the teachers and wish them all the best!

Thank you. Thank you all very much!

第二篇：大学生英语演讲稿speech

Good evening, honored judges, ladies and gentlemen. Before starting my speech, I`d like to ask you a question: do you have your career plans? If your answer is NO, here, I hope I can raise your awareness of the importance of making career plans by delivering this speech.

When I learned the news, I can`t help thinking, why this doctor want to get a teaching job. Is it because she got no other available jobs or she longed to be a teacher?

Let us take the first assumption as the reality, this young lady has been turned down for all jobs she applied before and came to a local middle school headmaster to ask for a job. If I were the headmaster, I`d like to hire bachelor degree or master degree students rather than PhDs, because the former ones` salary expectancy will be relatively low and they can also do the teaching job quite well. This reveals a sad reality,which is ,a high education degree doesn`t equal to a stepping—stone to all kinds of jobs.

So, before trying to get higher education, we must think of the following questions: what I really want to be? After my graduation, can I start my career with the current diploma? Do I really need to get a higher degree certificate to start my job? If you can handle your job, it would be just as well not to get a Doctor degree. I strongly suggest that you should start doing practical things rather than working hard on theoretical ones, for we all know that practice makes perfect.

Further more, our country has devoted time, money and effort to cultivate a research person. And a PhD, Doctor of philosophy, is supposed to work on unknown issues, stuy in science of science.

By the way, if the lady is about to throw reforms on middle school education by using her knowledge and working as a teacher is her very first step to achieve this goal, well, I will say, this is really a huge plan and I appreciate her bravity and perseverance.

Now, to those people who don`t have career planning, do you feel like to grab a pen and writing something about your future?

That is the end of my speech, thank you!
