第一天：THE NEWSPAPER 报 纸
Nowadays the newspaper possesses considerable value Everybody should read it. It supplies us with a variety of news every day. It tells us the political situation of the world. If we form the habit of reading the newspaper, we shall (will) get enough knowledge to cope with our circumstances. 现今报纸拥有极大的价值，人人都应该看它。它每天提供我们各种类类的消息。它告诉我们世界政治局势。如果我们养成看报的习惯，我们就能得到足够的知识来因应我们的环境。 学生虽然每天须做功课，但他们至少应该匀出一两个小时来看报。哪些，他们不但能增加知识而且也能赶上时代。总而言之，看报对学生很有益处。
第二天：MY DAILY LIFE 我的日常生活
Though my daily life is extremely monotonous, I try hard to adapt myself to it. Why? Because I intend to be a good student. I wish to render service to my country.
I get up at six o’clock every day. After I wash my face and brush my teeth, I begin to review my lessons. I go to school at seven o’clock.
After school is over, I return home. We usually have supper at seven o’clock.
Then I begin to do my homework. I want to finish it before I go to bed.
虽然我的日常生活十分单调，但我却竭力设法去适应它。为什么？因为我打算做一个好学生，希望将来为国家服务。
我每天六点起床、洗脸刷牙后，就开始复习功课，七点钟我就去上学。
放学后，我就回家了。我们通常在七点钟吃晚餐，之后我就开始做家庭作业，希望在睡觉前把它做完。
第三天：A MODEL STUDENT 模范学生
Do you mind being called a bad student? Of course not. So far as I know, everybody intends to be (become) a model student.
However, to be a model student is by no means an easy thing. First, he must do his best to obtain knowledge. A man without sufficient knowledge will not succeed. Secondly, he must remember to improve his health. Only a strong man can do great tasks. Thirdly, he should receive moral education. If his conduct is not good, no one will consider making friends with him.
你价意被称为坏学生吗？当然不。就我所知，每个人都打算做模范学生。
然而，做模范学生却不容易。第一，他必须尽力获得知识（求知）。一个没有足够知识的人是不会成功的。第二，他必须记住促进健康。只有强壮的人才能做大事。第三，他应该接受道德教育。如果他品行不好，没有人会考虑和他交朋友的。
第四天：HOW TO GET HAPPINESS 如何获得快乐
There is no doubt that happiness is the most precious thing in the world. Without it, life will be empty and meaningless. If you wish to know how to get happiness, you must pay attention to the following two points.
First, health is the secret of happiness (the key to happiness). Only a strong man can enjoy the pleasure of life.
Secondly, happiness consists in contentment. A man who is dissatisfied with his present condition is always in distress.
无疑的快乐是世界上最宝贵的东西。没有它，人生将是空虚的而且毫无意义的。如果你希望知道如何获得快乐，你须注意下面两点。
健康是快乐的要诀。唯有身体强壮的人才能享受人生的乐趣。
快乐在于知足。一个不满于现状的人终是处在痛苦之中。
第五天：BOOKS 书籍
As is well known, books teach us to learn life, truth, science and many other useful things. They increase our knowledge, broaden our minds and strengthen our character. In other words, they are our good teachers and wise friends. This is the reason why our parents always encourage us to read more books.
Reading is a good thing, but we must pay great attention to the choice of books. It is true that we can derive benefits from good books. However, bad books will do us more harm than good. 如众所周知，书籍教我们学习人生，真理，科学以及其它许多有用的东西。它们增加我们的知识，扩大我们的心胸并加强我们的品格。换句话说，它们是我们的良师益友。这是为什么我们的父母终是鼓励我们要多读书的理由。
读书是一好事，但我们必须多加注意书的选择。不错，我们能从好书中获得益处。然而，坏书却对我们有害无益。
第六天：A TRIP TO THE COUNTRY 乡村游记
One Sunday my mother (Mother) had (made) me take my little young brother to the a trip to the country. She bade me take good care of him.
While we were walking along the road, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing gently. We saw the beautiful flowers smile (smiling) at us and heard the birds sing (singing) their sweet songs on the trees. The scenery was indeed very pretty (beautiful).
When we felt tired, we returned home. We saw Mother (our mother) wait (waiting) for us at the door.
有一个星期日，我母亲叫我带小弟弟去乡村游历。她吩咐我要好好照料他。
当我们沿着道路行走的时候，太阳灿烂地照耀着，微风轻轻地吹着。我们看见美丽的花儿对我们微笑着，并听见鸟儿在树上唱着悦耳的歌曲，风景实十分美丽。
当我们感觉到疲倦的时候，我们就回家了。我们看见母样正在门口等候我们。
第七天：BE PATRIOTIC 要爱国
It is the duty of every citizen to make the country rich and powerful (To make the country rich and strong is...). In order to accomplish this object one must be patriotic (love his country). I consider this an unchangeable truth.
How can a student love his country (be patriotic)? I find my answer very simple and clear. He must study hard and store up knowledge so as to serve his (the) country in the future. If every student can do according to what I said, the country will certainly be rich and powerful.
要使国家富强是每个公民的责任。为了达到此目的，必须爱国。我认为这是一条不易的定理。 一个学生如何才能爱国呢？我发觉答复很简单明了。他必须用功读书并积储知识以便将来服务国家。如果每个学生能按照我所说的去做，国家一定会富强。
第八天：THE VALUE OF TIME 爱惜时光
An English proverb says that time is money. I consider it (this) wrong. Why? Because we all know that we can earn money be work but can not in any way get back time (in anyway). For this reason, we may (can) say that time is more valuable than money.
Many people do not know the value of time. It (this) is indeed a great pity. We must bear (keep) in mind that wasting time is equal to wasting your life.
英国有句谚语说，时间就是金钱。我认为这是不对的。为什么？因为我们大家都知道我们能够用工作赚钱，但无论如何却无法把时间争取回来。基于此种理由，我们可以说时间比钱钱更宝贵。
许多人不知爱惜时光。这确实是可惜的。我们必须记住浪费时间等于浪费生命。 第九天：WHY SHOULD WE STUDY ENGLISH 为什么我们要学英文
If you want to ask me why we should study English, my answer will be simple and clear. Now let me enumerate the reasons one by one in the following.
In the first place, English has become an international language. If you know English, you van make a trip round the world without being misunderstood.
In the second place, most valuable books, newspapers and magazines are written in English. If you wish (hope) to get knowledge, you must learn English.
如果你要问我们为什么我们要学英文。我的答复很简单明了。现在让我来把我的理由一一列举在下面：
英文已成为一种国际语言。如果你通晓它，你可以环游世界不会被人误解。
大多数有价值的书籍，报纸和杂志都是用英文写的。如果你希望获得知识，你必须学习英文。 第十天：MY BIRTHDAY 我的生日
Yesterday was my birthday, so some of my classmates sent me presents. Mother prepared a tea party for me. I invited all of them to come and take part in it.
The tea party began at half past six. There were cold drinks and refreshments. We ate, talked and laughed. We felt that we were the happiest men in the world.
Time passed quickly. In a twinkling, the clock on the wall struck nine. We could not but say ―Good-bye‖ to one another.
昨天是我生日，所以有几位我的同班同学送我礼。母亲给我准备一个茶会。我邀请他们都前来参加。
茶会下午六点半开始。有冷饮和点心。我们又吃又谈又笑。我们觉得是世界上最快乐的人。 时间过得很快。转瞬间，墙上的钟敲九点了。我们不得不互道再见。
第十一天：HOW TO SPEND SUNDAYS 如何消度星期日
Some of us always spend Sundays aimlessly. We can seldom derive profits from the valuable hours (time) of Sundays. This is indeed a great pity. Though Sundays are set aside as a day for rest, we must make good use of them.
We know that our school lessons are usually not sufficient. We should often utilize Sundays to read reference books. In this way we will increase our knowledge. Besides, we must be engaged in sports or outing so as to strengthen our bodies.
我们许多人终是把星期日毫无目的地消度掉。这确实是十分可惜。我们很少能从星期日的宝贵时光中获得益处。虽然星期日是被指定为一个休息的日子，但是我们却应好好利用它。 我们知道我们学校的功课通常是不够的。我们应时常利用星期日来阅读参考书。如此我们的知识就会增加了。此外，我们必须从事运动或郊游以便强壮我们的身体。
第十二天：HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY 诚为上策
There is an English proverb which says (saying) ―Honesty is the best policy.‖ It signifies the importance of honesty.
What are the benefits of honesty? If you are honest to others, they will be honest to you in return. When you are sad, they will comfort you. When you are in trouble, they will help you.
There is no enumerating the evils of dishonesty here. In a word, a dishonest man will be looked down upon by others and (be) regarded as a public enemy.
英国有一句谚语说“诚为上策”。它说明了诚的重要性。
诚的益处是什么？如果你对他人诚实，他们也会对你诚实作为报答。当你忧悉的时候，他们会安慰你。当你是处在困难中的时候，他们会帮助你。
无法在这里数述不诚实的害处。一言以蔽之，一个不诚实的人会被人看轻的而且被看作为一个公敌。
第十三天：HOW EXERCISE HELPS 运动的利益
If our bodies are not strong, our spirit to do things will certainly be quite dull. And at the same time, we are lack of energy (ies) to study. Diseases will only attack the weak, but not the strong. Why are our bodies not strong? Because we do not pay attention to exercise. For this reason, we students must often take different kinds (sorts) of exercise in the gym.
Exercise helps us (to) strengthen our bodies and avoid disease. It also teaches us cooperation, for most exercise is played by team.
如果我们的身体不强壮，我们做事的精神一定会十分迟钝。而且同时，我们也缺少足够的精力来读书。疾病只为侵击体弱的人而不是强壮的人。
为什么我们的身体会不强壮呢？因为我们不注意运动。基于此种理由，我们学生必须时常在运动场做不同种类的运动。
运动帮助我们强壮身体并避免疾病。它也教我们合作，因为大多数的运动都是团体游玩的。 第十四天：THE BENEFITS OF TRAVELING 旅行的益处
I am always interested in traveling. My reasons are quite (extremely) simple and clear. If anybody is not satisfied with my viewpoint(s), I shall be greatly surprised at his ways of thinking.
In the first place, traveling increases our knowledge. Only by traveling can we see （因为用（only）开头，主动词须颠倒）things outside our home town.
In the second place, traveling is good to our health. While we are traveling, we usually exercise our bodies.
In conclusion, I earnestly hope that everybody must seize (grasp at) the opportunity of traveling. 我对旅行终是感觉有趣。我的理由非常简单时了。如果任何人对我的观点不满意的话，我将对他的想法会大大吃惊。
旅行增加我们的知识。只有藉旅行我们可以看到我们故乡以外的东西。
旅行对我们的健康有益。当我们旅行的时候，我们通常运动我们的身体。
第十五天：HOW TO BE A GOOD CITIZEN 如何做一个好公民
My aim is to become a good citizen so as to be able to render service to the (my) country. However, to become a good citizen is not an easy thing. He has many duties to fulfill.
The first duty of a good citizen is to love his country. He is to (must) be ready to sacrifice even his own life for the country.
His second duty is to obey the law and help the government (to) maintain order. If everybody can do so, the country will be rich and strong (powerful).
我的志向是做一个好公民以便能给国家效力。然而，做一个好公民不是一件容易的事情。他有许多责任要尽。
一个好公民第一件责任是爱他的国家。他须准备为国家牺牲自己的生命。
他第二件责任是服从法律并且帮助政府维持治安。如果人人都能这样做的话，国家必定富强。 第十六天：THE NATIONAL FLAG 国旗
it is the duty of every citizen to honor the national flag. Why? Because the national flag is the symbol of a (the) country. To respect it means to respect the country. In other words, if a man loves his country, he must love the national flag.
In school, the national flag is usually raised at a certain time every day. Then the principal, teachers, staff and students are to (must) stand before it and sing the national anthem. It is indeed extremely meaningful to attend such a ceremony.
尊敬国旗是每个公民的责任（义务）。为什么？因为国旗是国家的象征。尊敬它意思就是尊敬国家。换句话说，如果一个人爱国，他必须爱国旗。
在学校里，通常每天定时要升旗。那时，校长，老师，教职员学生教师将恭敬地站在它前面并且唱国歌。参加此项仪式确实非常有意义。
第十七天：THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION 教育的重要性
It is impossible for us to make our country rich and strong without developing education. Why? Because education gives people knowledge and teaches them how to become good citizens so as to be able to serve their country. No wonder they say that education decides the progress, prosperity and civilization of a country.
At present (Nowadays) most countries in (of) the world are enforcing compulsory education. It is necessary for all kinds of people, both rich and poor, to receive education. Taiwan is an exception as well not.
我们不可能使我们的国家富强而不发展教育。为什么？因为教育给予人民知识并教他们如何成为好公民以便能为国家效力。难怪，有人说教育决定一个国家的进步，繁荣与文化。 现在世界大多数的国家都在实施强迫教育。所有各类人民不论贫富都必须接受教育。台湾也不例外。
第十八天：INDUSTRY (DILIGENCE) 勤勉
It is a matter of course that industry will bring us success, wealth and good luck. I am sure that a hard-working person can always succeed in the work which he wants to do. This is unchangeable truth.
Idleness is the opposite of industry. It is the source of all evil. An idle man only enjoys playing and making pleasures. That he is doomed to failure is of no doubt. We should not follow his example. 勤勉会带给我们成功，财富和好运乃是当然之事。我确信一个苦干的人终是能够做成功他所要做的工作。这是不易之定理。
懒惰是勤勉的反面。它是万恶之源泉。一个懒惰的人只享受玩耍和寻乐。他命运注定失败是毫无疑问的。我们不应学他的榜样。
第十九天：MY NATIVE TOWN 我的故乡
My native town is X. We have settled down here since my grandfather was a child. In other words, my family has lived here for more than one hundred years.
It is a small village. There are about one thousand inhabitants. Most of them are farmers. The mode of their living is very simple. However, they have already possessed television sets and refrigerators. They made up their minds to live a modern life.
我的故乡是X。我们自从祖父是小孩时，就定居在此地。换句话说，我们家人在此地已经住了一百余年了。
这个小村庄。居民大约有一千人。他们大部分是农夫。他们的生活方式很简单。然而，他们已拥有电视和冰箱。他们下定决心要过一个现代的生活。
第二十天：MY SCHOOL LIFE 我的学校生活
When I was six years old, I began to go to school. The first school (which) I attended was a primary school. There were many subjects (which were taught in the school, such as Chinese, arithmetic, history, geography, drawing and so forth. Since I was (became) a student, I studied very hard. My parents were quite proud of me.
After I had studied there for three years, I entered a junior high school. When I was twelve years old, I became a student of a senior high school. I still studied very hard. Except on sick leave I was never absent from class. Everybody looked upon me as a model student.

little poem, “be kind to the river. be good to the trees. smile at the sunshine,

翻译成中文如下：
每个人都可以帮助改善环境 我们都知道tagore.this印度著名诗人曾经说过：“生活给了我们，我们给它赚取了。”
常言道，自然是给我们，我们获得通 过促进它。然而，大多数人现在只想要求从对大自然的了解。事实上，他们很少做贡献
的性质。因此，我们周围的环境越来越差。 你是否经常使用的电池吗？那么你知道它
需要50多倍的能量，使他们比他们生产？而一个简单的电池可以污染像一个人可以喝一生的
水。事实和数字是惊人的。所以请你尝试使用电池只有在必要的？如果可能的话，请用的废
物回收公司，使他们将成为新的，并不能污染环境了。有时我们感到自满时，资源的再利用，
但是当你在实际的事实和数字，任何人都能理解，人们变得更加关注这个问题更清楚发言。 我们作为学生，还可以参加回收活动，以保护环境。例如，我们班成立了后门旁边的一
个回收中心，这是非常有用的。它是用来收集废纸和塑料瓶。在过去，我们的同学用来投入
到垃圾桶所有这一切。在这次收集活动一开始，它不是这样热身欢迎。后来，越来越多的人
受到别人的影响，并加入了此收集活动。渐渐地，所有的班级形成良好习惯的学生，以保护
环境。我们大家现在收拾东西的可重复使用，而不是扔进垃圾桶他们。 我们应该永远记住，在我们的脑海，保护环境是我们的责任，我们不能忽视。最后，请
你让我结束这是一个小诗讲话“，善待河流。是好树木。在阳光的笑容，并鞠躬风。是友好
与自然，与自然友好的将你！“篇五：英语演讲稿 环境保护 dear headmasters,teachers,classmates and friends: i’m very proud that i have chosen to speak to you all today, i’m a bit nervous

一分钟英语演讲稿
一分钟英语演讲稿，
ladies and gentlemen , good afternoon! i?m very glad to stand here and give you
a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. i hope you will like it , and found the
importance in your youth so that more cherish it. first i want to ask you some questions:
1、 do you know what is youth?
2、 how do you master your youth? youth
youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red
lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is
the freshness of the deep springs of life . youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite ,
for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of 60 more than a
boy of 20 . nobody grows old merely by a number of years . we grow old by deserting
our ideals.
years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . worry ,
fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust . whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ?s heart the lure of wonders,
the unfailing childlike appetite of what?s next and the joy of the game of living .
in the center of your heart and my heart there?s a wireless station : so long as it
receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the
infinite, so long as you are young . when the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism
and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your
aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80. that?s all !
thank you!篇二：一分钟英语演讲 my favorite color 我最喜欢的颜色 blue has always been my favorite color, and i think it will always continue to
be so.
i have several reasons for liking this color best. first, it is a very soothing
color and makes people happy. how do people feel when they wake up to day when the
sky is a dirty grey? sad and gloomy. but when the sky is a deep blue, good cheer and
joy enters our hearts.
another reason why i am most partial to blue is that it is the color of oceans
and rivers and lakes on a sunny day. whenever i go swimming, i feel as though i were
reborn.
i have also heard that in english, the term “true blue” means to be faithful.
as i have a great respect for the quality of faithfulness, this is one more reason
for my liking blue so much.
蓝色一直是我最喜欢的颜色，而且我认为一直都会是这样。 我有几个最喜欢这种颜色的理由。第一，它是一种使人平和、快乐的颜色。当人们睡醒
时，看到一个灰暗的天空，他们会感觉如何？沮丧忧郁。但是当天空是深蓝色时，喜悦和快
乐就进入我们心中。
我偏爱蓝色的另一个理由，是因为它是海洋、河流、湖泊在晴朗日子时的颜色。每当我
去游泳，我觉得我好像重生了。 我认为，蓝色是一种优雅、高贵的颜色，我有几套不同颜色的衣服，但是不知怎么，蓝
色似乎是适合我。同时，我的朋友都说，每当我穿蓝色的衣服时，似乎看起来更修长、更高
佻。 我也听说过英文里有个名词，“不褪色的蓝”，意思是忠实的，因为我很崇尚忠实这种
品德，这又是我这么喜欢蓝色的另一个理由了。 gloomy a.忧郁的
partial a.偏爱的
refined a.优雅的
the generation gap 论代沟 i remember that when i was in my teens, i used to rebel at many of the “do’
s” and “don’ts” my parents used to dictate to me. for example, when i kept on
playing jazz records on the record player, my father used to condemn such music as
sheer noise and replace them with disks of classical music that i always considered
extremely dull.
my mom and dad were also very particular about the friends i went out with, always
quoting the maxim the “one rotten apple could ruin a whole barrel of apples.” when
i insisted that i sleep with my pet dog peppy, they immediately said no because they
thought that i would be bitten by fleas. these are just a few examples of many of the things that i thought my parents
were unreasonable about. today, however, i am also the father of a boy of fifteen,
and i find that i, too, am pressuring my son with a lot of rules and regulations that
he seems to find hard to swallow. the other day, i noticed that my son’s hair was
altogether too long, so i told him to go to the barber’s and get it trimmed short.
ordinarily, he is fairly obedient, but this time he put his foot down. “what’s wrong with long hair?” he said. “all my buddies have long hair. and
besides, it’s my own hair, isn’t it? i don’t think you have the authority to order
me to cut it short, even if you’re my father!” when i was a boy, if i had spoken with such impertinence to my father, i know
that he would have given me a good thrashing. but i suddenly realized that we are
now living in a more liberal world, and that my son’s insistence on wearing his hair
long was merely an instance of the generation gap that existed between us. so i
relented, and so he still wears his hair long. 论代沟 记得我十几岁时，我总是反抗父母指定我做及不要我做的许多事。例如，当我用唱机听
爵士唱片时，父亲总指责这种音乐只是噪音，而换上我一直认为是最沉闷的古典音乐唱片。
我爸爸妈妈对和我一起出去的朋友也很挑剔，并常引用格言说：“一颗老鼠屎坏了一锅粥。”
当我坚持要和我的小狗佩比一起睡，他们马上说“不行”，因为他们认为我会被跳蚤给咬了。
这些只是我认为父母许多不合理的事中的一个例子。然而，今天我也是个十五岁小孩的父亲。
我发现自己也用一大堆我儿子似乎觉得难以忍受的规定来压迫他。前几天，我注意到我儿子
的头发实在太长了，所以便叫他到理发店去修短。平常他是很听话的，但这次他坚持。 “长
头发有什么不对？”他说，“我所有的朋友都留长头发，况且，这是我自己的头发，不是吗？
我认为你没权力命令我把它剪短，即使你是我父亲。”
小时候，如果我对父亲讲话这么无礼，我知道会招来一顿好打。但是我突然了解到我们
现在是生活在一个更自由的世界。我儿子坚持留长发，只是存在于我们之间的代沟的一例。
因此我态度变温和了，也因此他现在还留着长发。 generation n.一代

put one’s foot down坚持反对 a part from the many fine qualities that lincoln had, i admire him most because
he dared to do what he thought was right at a time when his beliefs were very unpopular
with many people. he also had infinite patience and tolerance for those who disagreed
with him, and bore their discourtesy toward him with admirable restraint. he also
had the manliness to forgive his opponents. when the civil war ended, he treated his
erstwhile enemies with great generosity. the words which are carved on the walls of
the lincoln memorial in washington, d.c. were taken from his famous second inaugural
address and begin with he phrases which i shall never forget: “with malice toward
none, with charity for all„” 我最敬佩的人 我敬佩的人有很多，但是我表上列的第一个是亚伯拉罕.林肯，美国伟大的解放者。虽然

environmental protection 环境保护 i was born in the countryside near kaohsiung and i came up to taipei when i was
still a lad of twelve. seven years have elapsed since then, and just recently, i
returned to my home town for the very first time since i had left it. would you like
to know just how i felt when i set eyes again on the place that i had always remembered
as being a real shangrila? the image that i had so carefully cherished was dashed
to the winds. instead, i was struck by the sharp realization that civilization and
modern industry were destroying our world. the beautiful hills that were formerly
covered with trees were now bald. all the trees must have been chopped down for lumber
that went into the building of cheap apartment houses that were now ubiquitous all
over the town. the crystal-clear river where i had enjoyed fishing and swimming when
i was a lad was now a filthy ditch into which chemical factories were dumpling all

我出生于高雄附近的乡下，当我才十二岁时，就搬来台北。七年过去了，就在最近，我
回到睽违已久的家乡。你想知道，当我看到这个我总记得是真正香格里拉的地方时，内心的
