英语演讲稿：I am an English teacher（精选25篇）
Distinguished leaders, teachers and students:
Hello everyone! My topic today is: to protect the ecological environment, away from the fog and haze! We have found it, this years autumn and winter, we Zhengzhou fog and haze have occurred. This time, the scope of the outbreak of serious pollution, the length of time this year, is rare for several years.
"Itchy throat, eye pain, eardrum pain, headache ......", many people appear "haze symptoms." Protect the ecological environment, away from the fog and haze. Many of our students have to wear a thick mask, or the face with a scarf wrapped tightly, even our school calisthenics have stopped, "fear of toxic air!" Respiratory man surge. Air pollution, everyone is a victim, but most people are more or less bear responsibility.
Fog and haze air pollution is a serious incident, a large amount of pollutant emissions is the root cause. Most areas of automobile exhaust, coal-fired emissions, emissions of industrial enterprises, agricultural burning straw. Therefore, care to protect our living environment, should be every citizen should consciously abide.
Environmental damage easily, but need a long recovery time. In front of "smog", he paid the price of that we should reflect on what habits increase the "environmental impact": littering, seeking easy to use plastic bags, disposable items, burning of leaves, straw, vehicle emissions ...... rare The fog and haze, but also make people aware of the need to change as well. In order to reduce pollution, we have a car every person should consciously try to reduce the number of car, even less open one kilometer, one week less open day car, do not even open, or we take turns driving a car, in order to maximize to reduce air pollution.
Let us act together to protect the environment, improve air quality, try to make fog and haze away peoples lives now.
Dear teachers， dear students：
hello everyone！
The topic of my speech is ＂the hardness of life＂
The vast desert， a tree stand， the show is a monument to the image.
Towering mountains， thousands of tree stand up， as is a magnificent the Great Wall.
The long river， all the trees stood up into a dragon of glory.
We are a symbol of too much， and too much. But I believe that my image is not ＂the gentlest hands， skin， such as Diorskin＂ Lin Daiyu， nor is the modern ＂unkempt and shabby＂， ＂Su Qier＂. We are a symbol of hope and vitality. So we show in front of others should be inserted without pleats， face without scale， modest and polite gestures exudes a stream of heroic spirit， the image of the vigor and vitality of the modern new youth， a into the embodiment of the spirit of nature.
Someone once said， life is a kind of hardness， integrity and dignity of life is propped up the hardness of bone. ＂Better life＂ and ＂the Kui back in the day， and not ashamed on the ground＂， which is always the traditional virtue of the China. Li Bai＇s ＂the eyebrow nengcui Zheyaoshan powerful thing， so that I may not be happy Yan＂ this awe inspiring atmosphere of the verse and whether it will make those no self-esteem people to shame？ Loss of self-esteem is a worthless person， and we as the vanguard of the times， if drown in the darkness forever， or to do a dauntless hero， a flower in the wind and rain sonorous rose. The answer is self-evident. Desert desolate also has the monument stands， Castle Peak again proud， but also have the great wall around， the river again quiet， also there is a dragon in the recumbent. But the time can be changed， our image， our glory remains the same. Because we pride， because we are confident， because we have a fresh life. And because of this， it is a vast desert riparian long， Qingshan was evergreen， the hardness of life is forever.
The Way to a Man’s Heart…
He was her university teacher. He was smart, confident, and had a great sense of humor. And he was rather good-looking, too. The fact was, she had fallen in love with him. She sensed that he might like her. She had caught him looking at her more than once. What to do?
At the end of the semester, she waited till all the other students had left. She said she had a gift for him. He said that was very nice of her. Then he looked around for a wrapped package. Where was the gift, he asked. She said it was still at the store. She would pick him up and take him there that Saturday, if that was okay with him.
She picked him up at the Starbucks near his apartment. He was enjoying the mystery. He asked her: Was it an alarm clock so that he wouldn’t be late for class? Was it teaching materials, like markers and erasers? A new briefcase? An extra ink cartridge for his computer for when he printedhandouts? She said that she couldn’t comment.
They got to the mall and went into Nordstrom’s. “I hope it isn’t a suit,” he joked. “I never wear suits.”
“No, it isn’t. But it’s something that you always wear with a suit.”
“A tie? Why would I wear a tie if I never wear suits?”
“Not a tie, silly,” she said, as they walked into the shoe department. She had noticed that he always wore the same pair of shoes in class. She had guessed that he wore size 11, and had picked out a nice two-tone casual model by Clark. She hoped that he would like the shoes as much as she did. The shoes fit perfectly, and he did like them. When they left the store, he offered her his hand, and they walked out to her car hand in hand. She was tingling. “Let me at least buy you dinner,” he suggested as they got into her car.
I like spring best of all the four seasons. When spring comes, it's gettingwarmer and warmer, and the world becomes rich and colorful.
The sun is red, the sky is blue, clouds are white, and the trees get greenagain.
In spring, we can see beautiful flowers everywhere. The birds come backfrom the south, and sing happily all day. Everything comes back to lifeagain.
Look, the boys and girls are flying kites by the river happily. Howbeautiful the season is!
Knowledge collaboration and all-round education
Ladies and gentlemen,
We engineering students take it for granted that technology is changing incredibly fast. We are thinking nervously and seriously whether our colleges are failing to provide a foundation in the skills currently needed in industry. Take my major telecommunications for example. Scientists say that 21st century is a biomedical time, not an electrical time. But without the help of electronic data processing and transformation, biomedical technology alone cannot go too far. Funny enough, the word biomedical itself is just a combination of two disciplines. So the interdisciplinary exploitation serves as the critical part for our electric and electronics world as well as any other fields to find new way of being.
But the power of knowledge collaboration is certainly not restricted to science and engineering; it is in the full community of learning. Walking around campus I absorbed a reality that there is a seamless web between students from different professional backgrounds. The engineering students are discussing animatedly in a philosophy lecture, speaking passionately in the public speaking club, and looking for sparkling ideas from learning history and arts. How wonderful that is! That, ladies and gentleman, is just a significant step forward to be well-rounded because once we jump out of the circle we can see the bigger picture.
My friends, I hope that you have already got what university is all about. Please let me end my speech with the Nobel Prize winner Li Zhengdao’s words: “The realization of the perfect combination of science and engineering, science and arts, technology and humanity， is the greatest symbol of a university’s success.” Thank you.
知识的融合和人才的全面发展
我们理工科的学生都知道科技在以一种难以置信的速度变化发展着。我们都在紧张和严肃地思考着是否我们的大学能够为我们提供一个适应当前工业需要的知识基础。以我的专业通信工程为例，科学家们说21世纪是生物医学的世纪，而不是电气电子的世纪。但是如果没有电子化的数据处理和转换，生物医学时代就不能发展。有趣的是：“生物医学”这个词本身就是两个学科的结合，所以跨学科的开发手段就成了电气电子领域以以及其他任何领域寻找新出路的关键。
但是知识的结合不仅仅局限在科学和工程中，而是在任何的学习中。徜徉在校园里，我看到了这样一个事实：理工科学生们在哲学讲座上讨论得热火朝天，在演讲俱乐部里激情地演说，在历史和艺术里寻找着闪光的思想。太棒了!朋友们，这就是我们能够全面发展的重要一步，因为当我们跳出自己的圈子时，我们能看到更大的图画。
朋友们，我希望你们已经意识到了大学教育究竟意味着什么。让我以诺贝尔奖获得者李政道先生的话结束我的演讲：“科学与工程，科学与艺术，科技与人道的完美结合，乃是大学教育的最大成功。”
谢谢。
I like a lot of foods, like rice, noodles, dumplings, porridge, hamburgersand so on. But my favourite food is dumplings. Every Sunday,my mother makes manydumplings for me. If she has no time to make the dumplings, I'll go to thesupermarket to buy some. Dumplings look like white boats. They tastedelicious.On my birthday every year, I usually make a lot of dumplings with mymother because I often ask some friends to eat them with me. There are differentkinds of vegetables in them. My friends all like to eat them very much.
Of all the foods,I like dumplings best. What about you, mydear friends? Doyou like dumplings,too?
我喜欢很多食物，像大米饭，面条，饺子，粥，汉堡包等等。但是我最喜爱的是饺子。每个星期天，我母亲经常为我包很多饺子。如果她没有时间做，我就去超级市场买一些。饺子看起来像白色的船。它们尝起来美味可口。每年在我生日那天，我经常和母亲包很多很多的饺子，因为我经常请朋友和我们一起吃饺子。饺子里面有不同种类的蔬菜。我的朋友们都非常喜欢吃。
在所有的食物中，我最喜欢吃饺子。你呢，我亲爱的朋友们?
你也喜欢吃饺子吗?

love English
When I was seven, I started learning English. I played games and sang English songs with other children. Sometimes, I watched English cartoons. It's funny. Then I discovered the beauty of the language, and began my colorful dream in the English world.
I hope I can travel around the world someday. I want to go to America to visit Washington, because my cousin is over there. Of course, I want to go to London too, because England is where English language developed. If I can ride my bike in Cambridge University, I will be very happy.
I hope I can speak English with everyone in the world. Also I'll introduce China to them, such as the Great Wall, and the gardens in Suzhou. I will teaching people of the world about the beautiful language of our country.
I like the English language. To learn English is wonderful. I once wanted to be an English teacher . I also like Chinese literature. When I was really young, I was able to remember lots of poems. I also wanted to be a teacher of Chinese. Now I think that both of my dreams can come true: I will be able to use English to teach foreign friends Chinese and share Chinese culture with them. So that more and more people will be able to get to know the 5000 years' history culture, and the prosperity of our great China.
My future is not a dream. I am confident that it will come true
我爱英语
当我七岁的时候，我开始学习英语。我与其他儿童一起打游戏和唱英语歌曲，。有时候，我会观看英语卡通片。它很有趣。接着我发现语言的美丽，开始了我在英语世界里丰富多彩的的梦。
我希望总有一天我能够在世界各地旅游。我要到美国华盛顿访问，因为我的表哥是在那里。当然，我要到伦敦，因为英国是英语语言的`发源地。如果我能在剑桥大学骑上我的自行车，我会很高兴的。
我希望我能够与世界上每一个人说流利的英语。同时，我对他们来介绍一下中国，如长城和苏州园林。我会教世界人民了解我们国家美丽的语言。
我喜欢英语。学英语实在是太好了。曾经我想成为一名英语教师。我也喜欢中国文学。当我年轻的时候，我能记住大量的诗歌。我也想成为一名教师的中文。现在我认为我的梦想可以成真：我将能够使用英语教外国朋友中文和与他们分享中华文化。使越来越多的人们将能够结识五千年的历史文化，繁荣我们伟大的中国。
我的未来不是梦。我深信它会成真。
青春 YouthYouth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not amatter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, aquality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of thedeep springs oflife.青春不是年华，而是心境;青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙热的恋情;青春是生命的深泉在涌流。Youth means atemperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite foradventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than aboy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old bydeserting ourideals.青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。Yearsmay wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear,self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back todust.岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。Whether 60 or 16, thereis in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite forwhat’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart andmy heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages ofbeauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as youareyoung.无论年届花甲，抑或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。Whenyour aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and theice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerialsare up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at80.一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣;然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。
My after school life is very rich drawing swimming... Say my favorite is the photography. My home have a digital camera in the school art festival photography contest last year I use it to take photo also won the prize. This year in order to support me to learn photography dad bought a nikon DSLR I feel very fresh suddenly fell in love with photography.
我的课余生活很丰富，画画、游泳……要说我最喜欢的，就是摄影了。原来我家有个数码相机，在去年学校的艺术节摄影比赛中，我用它拍的照片还得了奖。为了支持我学习摄影，今年爸爸买来了尼康单反相机，我觉得新鲜极了，一下子迷上了摄影。
Rest day dad took me to the pictures. I learn the scenery I find a beautiful place with the lens amplification a press the shutter press play button again you can see the photos. I have a look ah using SLR is clear! But when in the movement of objects is blurry. "Why is this?" I asked my father. Father said: "with a pattern of the movement." I quickly transferred to the movement pattern let dad running I put the pictures down so clear! Back home I took photos and appreciate again flattered.
休息天，爸爸带我去小区拍照。我先学拍风景，我找了个漂亮的地方拍，用镜头放大，一按快门，再按播放按钮，就可以看照片了。我一看，呀，用单反拍真清楚!可是在拍运动的物体时却模糊不清。“这是为什么呢?”我问爸爸。爸爸说：“拍运动的要用运动模式。”我赶紧调到运动模式，让爸爸跑步，我把照片拍了下来，真清晰!回到家里，我把照片又欣赏了一遍，心里美滋滋的。
Although I do not understand the many functions of the camera the camera but in his free time photography became my favorite thing to do. Wait until the next photo contest held in school I would seize the wonderful moment captured the beautiful campus dear teacher lovely classmates; Leave the green grass colorful flowers lush branches...

Ladies and Gentlemen：
New Year’s Day looks like a little child who is jumping and ings a sense of happiness and fortune. On that day we give our friends andteachers lots of presents to express our deep love and best wishes. We all wearnew recall “yesterday” the moment we hope we can have a good newyear. The New Year means that we will begin a completely new life. our classheld a party to celebrate the New Year’s Day, our classroom which was decoratedmeticulously was more beautiful than before;smile lit up everyone’s face. A lotof wonderful programs were put on by our classmates. We were attracted by thehumorous performance. Smile became a theme on that day. After theperformances,we saw a film whose leading actors are Jackie Chen, Gu Tianle and a baby. We allhad a good Year’s Day means beginning a new era. There are manyunforgettable things in the year , but I believe I can do better next year,whichis filled with hope and happiness.I want to fly because I have a dream! I wantto fly because I have confidence.
ladies and gentlemen,
i have had a lot of teachers in my school who have given me much help in my study. for their help i will never forget them. but today i am going to talk about a special teacher of mine. this teacher is not a human being and its name is“computer”. it has been teaching me a lot of knowledge and i appreciate it very much.
with the development of modern science and technology, computers are widely used in every teritories including education. how can a computer be my teacher? how does a computer teach me? multimedia(多媒体)helps a lot in this aspect in recent years, and computer-based training (cbt) has become a popular educational medium (手段). even before the multimedia come up, many different learning systems appeared, using the components and techniques we now associate with the term “multimedia”. multimedia components, such as graphics (动画) , animations , sound and video, make the learning process easier through visualization. animations can present many comple_ subjects dynamically, but human teachers can not do this on blackboards. multimedia makes our study more lively and interesting. for e_ample, a cd-rom disk named “encarta encyclopedia” contains 650 mb information including images, graphics, music clips, video clips, animations , te_ts, hotwords, and database search functions. fields involved includes physical
sciences, performance arts, social sciences, politics, military, education and so on. when pressing a button, i can hear american president clinton's speech clip. i may enjoy playing all kinds of musical instruments in the world. i can also see the animation of many physical phenomena. this makes physical concept to be understood deeply. the audio features of multimedia can greatly help me learning foreign languages. with its speech output capabilities, i'm no longer dependent on an instructor for proper pronunciation.
how can i interact with a computer? there are many ways, including keyboard, mouse pointer, and touch screen. i often use a keyboard. when i press right keys, i can see and hear whatever i want. information world is at my fingertip. i wish that true speech input-output system would be invented one day.
as teachers, computers have a lot of virtues： they are positive, they have good memories and never lose any information stored in them. they have much knowledge in every field. they can let out all kinds of sounds, and can also improve the efficiency of our study. for e_ample, if i want to, i can skip some chapters so that i can study at my own pace.
although computers will never take the place of human teachers, they are welcomed by more and more learners. computers will continue to evolve(发展)with the aid of modern technologies. computers are so powerful, helpful and important that everybody needs it, especially in the future! i love my computer teacher!
HOW ARE TV PICTURES MADE?
A TV picture starts with a TV camera. Some TV cameras are big and some are small. The cameras in TV studios are big. Camera operators roll the big cameras around on wheels. There are usually several big cameras in a TV studio. Cameras used outside a TV studio are smaller. TV camera crews take the smaller cameras to news and sports events.
Some cameras send out live pictures to your TV set. Some cameras make videotapes that get played later on a television program.
All TV cameras need electricity to work. A camera operator points the camera at a scene. The camera picks up light from the scene. It changes this light into an electric signal called the video signal. A microphone changes the sound of people talking or music playing into an electric signal called the audio signal.
What is a great book? There is no end to the making of books. Nor doesthere seem to be any end to the making lists of great books. There has always bemore books than one could read. You can be happy at the fact that the number ofthat is relatively small.
However,today,people usually leave it in the library. According to thenational reading survey issued by The China Academy of Press and Publication, in20__, only 55% Chinese aged between18 and 70 book read books .That is to say,there are more than forty percent of the people seldom read in China.
It is a great challenge to literature. As a educated student,have youinsist on reading great books. In order to change the situation ,we must takeactions to read great books.
In Adler’s essay of What is A Great Book, he explain why we should readgreat books. I conclude it as follows.
First,great books are the most readable. They will not let you down ,if youread them well. The have more ideas per page than most books in the theirentirety. This is why you can read a great book over and over again and neverexhaust it contents.
Second ,great books are always contemporary,in contrast to the books wecalled contemporary,because they are currently popular ,last for a year ortow,or ten at most. You may probably can not recall the names of many earlierbest sellers,and you may probably would not be interest in reading them. But thegreat are never out modeled by the movement of thought or the shifting winds ofopinion .
Third ,great books are the most instructive. This follows the fact thatthey are original communications. They contain what cannot be found in otherbooks. Whether you ultimately agree or disagree what they say. They are theprimary teachers of mankind. They have made basic contribution to human right.
Just giving you the reason is not enough, I will give you some methods torealize you reading dream.
Firstly,you can begin with a interesting novel. You will be attracted bythe figures,the plots .Than ,after reading a lot of books ,you may be get into ahabit of reading. So,you can contact with some complex books,such as philosophy,arts and so on. You will be shocked at the new world.
There are countless great books in our library,you must make greatadvantage of it. Of course ,it is a better choice to buy great books. Collectingbooks is a enjoyable thing,at least for me. So,reading great books. The newworld is coming.
Distinguished leaders, parents and dear students,
Good morning! I am so excited to stand here, as a representative of the whole G12 students’ parents to make a brief speech to show our greatest honor and respect to the school leaders and teachers who work for our sons and daughters in the past three years. Thank you for your hard work.
Frankly, we were hesitant about our choice at first, but today we beam with happiness. Now all of our children have received the admission letters and scholarship from Canada, the USA, the Switzerland and many other countries. Thank you for your great education!
At the same time, as their parents, we hope every future university student will work even harder and become the backbone of our nation after graduation from university. Last, I wish SCCSC a brighter future and with students all over the world! Thank you all!
Different people have different dreams. Some people dream of making a lot of money. Some people dream of living a happy life. Some people dream of being famous. Some people dream of going abroad, and so on. But my dream is different. Maybe you will get a surprise after you know my dream.
不同的人有不同的梦想。有些人梦想赚很多的钱。有些人梦想过上幸福的生活。有些人梦想能够出名。有些人梦想能够出国等等。但我的梦想是和他们不一样的。知道我的梦想后也许你会很惊讶。
I have a wonderful dream in my heart. It's to speak English very well. Since English is everything for me. English is my best friend. English is my soul. English is my power. Without English, I'm nothing at all. Nothing. Now, I can think in English, speak in English, and write in English. Some people think I'm an Indian. Some people regard I'm a Pakistan. And some people even consider that I'm an Egyptian. But if I could speak English as good as an American, my future would be brilliant. So I work very hard.
在我心中有一个美丽的梦想。那就是说一口流利的英语。因为对我来说英语就是我的一切。英语是我最好的朋友。英语是我的灵魂。英语给予我力量。没有英语，我什么都没有。什么都没有。现在，我可以用英语的方式思考，用英语说话，用英语书写。有些人以为我是印第安人。有些人以为我是巴基斯坦人。有些人甚至认为我是埃及人。但如果我能说英语能像美国人说的那么好，我的未来会很美好。所以我很努力学习。
Money is indeed important, but money cannot buy everything. A miser maythink that “money talks,” but if you only give your attention to making money,you may lose many things, such as health, friendship and love. I don't think weshould regard money as everything. Money is just a tool that can help us solveproblems or enable us to live a comfortable life. What we should do is to use itappropriately and not become misers. This way, all of us can lead a happierlives.
钱确实是很重要的，但钱买不到所有的东西。守财奴可能认为“金钱万能”，但是如果你只将注意力放在挣钱上，你将失去很多东西，例如，健康，友谊和爱。我认为我们不应该将金钱看作一切。钱仅仅是一个可以帮助我们解决问题和过更舒适的生活的工具。我们应该做的是如何正确的使用金钱，不要变成守财奴。这样，我们才能过上幸福的生活。
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)
“'i live 17 miles from here.' i replied. 'my car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. it didn't. instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. i'm still able to teach my class, and i've been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class. if my car was meant to break down today, it couldn't have been arranged in a more convenient fashion.'
the secretary's eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. i smiled back and headed for class.“ so ended my story.
i scanned the sixty faces in my economics class at unlv. despite the early hour, no one seemed to be asleep. somehow, my story had touched them. or maybe it wasn't the story at all. in fact, it had all started with a student's observation that i was cheerful.
deepak chopra has quoted an indian wise man as saying, “who you are speaks louder to me than anything you can say.“ i suppose it must be so.
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.
As a popular saying goes, "Time is money." But does time definitely mean money? I don't think so. First of all, time is more precious than money. When money is spent, you can earn it back if you want to. However,when time is gone, it will never come back. To some extent, time is priceless. Second, not all time can be turned into money in the end. Some persons are idling all the time. Their time is just for wasting, not for earning money. They will end in nothing at last. So be sure to remember that time can be turned into money only with hard work involved in it.
first i'd like you to think about the question: do you become a teacher by chance? that's what happened to me! english was my favorite subject when i was a middle school student. i felt so cool when i won the first prize of nepcs in 1997. after that everyone said to me:“hey,why not become an english teacher?” so i did!actually, i liked teaching very soon. i like teaching and learning with the children. sometimes they are my students; sometimes they are my younger brothers or sisters. sometimes they are even my fans because i can sing many pop songs in the class! but i have to say: to be an english teacher is not easy. why? teacher-centered controls, threats make no sense to students now! no one can be forced to learn without a desire to learn! i am so eager to find out a good way. but what are they? nowadays, the use of tasks is commonplace. but i as well as other teachers is wondering: my syllabus is based on an old-fashioned textbook and is also exam-driven. how do i structure lessons by using tasks? should i tell my students: “today your task is to listen to me" or “your task is to finish part a on page 5".everything is unchanged, isn't it?what makes task? a unit of grammar? no! a collection of lexical items? no! after a long time study, i begin to know that task is a means of learning the language by its real use! now, i'd like to give an actual example for you. that is unit 5 from book 3 i had this lesson in the internet-equipped classroom. each student has a computer .the target language includes shall, let's do, writing letters.word competition and on-_line exercise are the pre-tasks. next, three during-tasks. task 1:group-work. discuss a plan about where to go during the national day, practise the target language: shall. task 2. go to a teenager website to make foreign pen friends by the e-mail. task 3: write a letter to the students of our school to call on them to donate to project of hope the post task comes last, ss read english news about wangpeng who lost his life in a hostage crisis in pakistan, and write to annan the u.n head to call for peace as you see, in this class, task-based method creates a student-centered learning environment and information technology plays an important part.we should try to be as flexible as possible in choosing the teaching techniques.now, dear friends, i would like you to think about our own task. what makes a good english teacher? just years of little sleep, over-work? just like the candle that burns out to help others? no! we should develop ourselves, both professionally and personally. most importantly, we should love our students. in my heart, my students are the most powerful striving for me to work harder. i love my students! i love teaching!before finishing my speech, i would like to say: to be an english teacher is the best choice in my life. i shall do all i can to be a good english teacher!that's all. thanks for your attention!

heart.Real fris can share all our sorrows and double all ourjoys.While making fris, we should take care to select those who have suchfine qualities.
hen we should treat our fris with courtesy, be careful notto interfere unreasonably with them,and not to ridicule their proceedings.Weshould forgive their failures and do our best to help them.In short, when wehave established friship, we ought to cherish and treasure it by means ofwords and deeds.Only thus, can we develop real friship and keep the sacredlamp of friship burning all our life.
good morning teachers and fellow students. today we would like to introduce a few favorite books to you.
my favorite book is (italian: cuore). this is a diary written by an italian boy enrico. the diary is about his life and study. it included various touching stories that happened around enrico, the mottos taught by his parents, as well as the wonderful ten "monthly" stories told by his teacher during the class. every word in the chapter describes the word "love". from patriotism to friendship, and to the love between parents and child -- really touching.
this novel taught me how to love, and how to learn from love. i really like this book very much. how about you? what is your favorite book?
my favorite book is . have you read it before?
Over the next five minutes, my intention is to transform your relationship with sound. Let me start with the observation that most of the sound around us is accidental, and much of it is unpleasant. (Traffic noise) We stand on street corners, shouting over noise like this, and pretending that it doesn't exist. Well, this habit of suppressing sound has meant that our relationship with sound has become largely unconscious.
There are four major ways sound is affecting you all the time, and I'd like to raise them in your consciousness today. First is physiological. (Loud alarm clocks) Sorry about that. I've just given you a shot of cortisol, your fight/flight hormone. Sounds are affecting your hormone secretions all the time, but also your breathing, your heart rate -- which I just also did -- and your brainwaves.
It's not just unpleasant sounds like that that do it. This is surf. (Ocean waves) It has the frequency of roughly 12 cycles per minute. Most people find that very soothing, and, interestingly, 12 cycles per minute is roughly the frequency of the breathing of a sleeping human. There is a deep resonance with being at rest. We also associate it with being stress-free and on holiday.
The second way in which sound affects you is psychological. Music is the most powerful form of sound that we know that affects our emotional state. (Albinoni's Adagio) This is guaranteed to make most of you feel pretty sad if I leave it on. Music is not the only kind of sound, however, which affects your emotions.
Natural sound can do that too. Birdsong, for example, is a sound which most people find reassuring. (Birds chirping) There is a reason for that. Over hundreds of thousands of years we've learned that when the birds are singing, things are safe. It's when they stop you need to be worried.
The third way in which sound affects you is cognitively. You can't understand two people talking at once ("If you're listening to this version of") ("me you're on the wrong track.") or in this case one person talking twice. Try and listen to the other one. ("You have to choose which me you're going to listen to.")
We have a very small amount of bandwidth for processing auditory input, which is why noise like this -- (Office noise) -- is extremely damaging for productivity. If you have to work in an open-plan office like this, your productivity is greatly reduced. And whatever number you're thinking of, it probably isn't as bad as this. (Ominous music) You are one third as productive in open-plan offices as in quiet rooms. And I have a tip for you. If you have to work in spaces like that, carry headphones with you, with a soothing sound like birdsong. Put them on and your productivity goes back up to triple what it would be.
The fourth way in which sound affects us is behaviorally. With all that other stuff going on, it would be amazing if our behavior didn't change. (Techno music inside a car) So, ask yourself: Is this person ever going to drive at a steady 28 miles per hour? I don't think so. At the simplest, you move away from unpleasant sound and towards pleasant sounds. So if I were to play this -- (Jackhammer) -- for more than a few seconds, you'd feel uncomfortable; for more than a few minutes, you'd be leaving the room in droves. For people who can't get away from noise like that, it's extremely damaging for their health.
And that's not the only thing that bad sound damages. Most retail sound is inappropriate and accidental, and even hostile, and it has a dramatic effect on sales. For those of you who are retailers, you may want to look away before I show this slide. They are losing up to 30 percent of their business with people leaving shops faster, or just turning around on the door. We all have done it, leaving the area because the sound in there is so dreadful.
I want to spend just a moment talking about the model that we've developed, which allows us to start at the top and look at the drivers of sound, analyze the soundscape and then predict the four outcomes I've just talked about. Or start at the bottom, and say what outcomes do we want, and then design a soundscape to have a desired effect. At last we've got some science we can apply. And we're in the business of designing soundscapes.
Just a word on music. Music is the most powerful sound there is, often inappropriately deployed. It's powerful for two reasons. You recognize it fast, and you associate it very powerfully. I'll give you two examples. (First chord of The Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night") Most of you recognize that immediately. The younger, maybe not. (Laughter) (First two notes of "Jaws" theme) And most of you associate that with something! Now, those are one-second samples of music. Music is very powerful. And unfortunately it's veneering commercial spaces, often inappropriately. I hope that's going to change over the next few years.
