1、全国英语演讲比赛一等奖,清华大学曹丰 英语演讲稿Our Future: A Battle between Dreams And Reality Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen: When I was in the primary school, I have a dream. I want to invent a device which could bring you from one place to another in no time at all. When I was in the secondary school, my dream wa
2、s to study in my ideal university. And when eventually I got into the university, my dream was to graduate. How pathetic! When we grow up, we dream less And become more realistic. Why? Why do we have to change our dreams, so, so in order to let it be fulfilled? Why do we have to surrender to the so-
3、called reality? What IS the reality actually? Ladies And gentlemen, the reality is not real. It is a barrier keeping us from all the possible fantasies. Flying, for example, had been a dream to mankind for thousands of years. A hundred years ago, man could not fly was still regarded as the reality.
4、Now if that was really the reality, what did the Wright brothers do? How did some of you get to Macau? Only when we believe that the reality is not real can we soar with our dreams. People say that our future is a battle between the reality And our dreams. And if, unfortunately, Mr. Reality wins thi
5、s war, then I see no future of mankind at all. AIDS will never be curable as this IS the reality; People living in the undeveloped countries will suffer from starvation forever as this IS the reality; 4)Disputes among different countries would never be settled as this misunderstandings And intoleran
6、ce IS the reality. Ladies And gentlemen, how many of you have a dream of being able to make a lot of money? Please raise your hands. Oh, quite a number of you! Actually, ladies And gentlemen, this is not a dream, but a task. Every one of us has to make a living, right? Anyway I hope your task will b
7、e accomplished. How many of you think that you have already fulfilled your dream And that you dont dream anymore? Dear 5)adjudicators, what do you think? C.S. Lewis once said,You are never too old to dream a new dream. So for our future, please dream And be unrealistic. Now that I am a university st
8、udent, my goal is to graduate with excellences. But at the same time, I have a dream deeply rooted in our future. One day, people living in the areas now 6)sweltering with the horror of wars will be able to sit with their families And enjoy their every moment. One day, people from the rich countries
9、 are willing to share what they have with those from the poor countries And those from the poor countries will eventually be able to make their own happy living themselves. One day, different cultures in this age of globalization will coexist with tolerance And the unfriendly confrontations among th
10、em will be 7)eliminated. One day, the globe will share the dream with me And we will all contribute to making our dream come true. One day, our dream will defeat the reality! Thank you very much. 主持人：Thank you. 曹丰：Thank you. 问题：Now in the age of the Internet,reading books does not seem as important
11、as it once was.Do you think people can learn as much on the Internet as they can by reading books?Which method do you prefer? 回答：Thank you very much.And hello again ladies and gentlemen.Actually,I dont really agree with the first sentence of this topic:In the age of the Internet,reading books does n
12、ot seem as important as it was once.Why?Why is it the case?Why is it the situation,ladies and gentlemen?Actually,Internet or books are just like tea or coffee.They are similar,but they are different.Unibersity students nowdays love to use the Internet to search for information when they are working
13、with their essays.Like,last semester,when I was working with my physics essay,I logged into Google and I searched for NEWTON and all the laws and theories of Newton just popped out and I can choose whichever one I like to use.But when I walked into the library,all the books came out and I have to ch
14、oose which one to read.How inconvenient!Maybe you can say at this moment,Oh,Internet is better,books no use.So I have to use Internet,right?But lets see the things in another way.I love traveling a lot and I love to bring a book with me.And I love to read my Da Vinci Code when I was having my trip o
15、n a bus or on a ship.Actually,whenever it is,wherever you go,whatever you are doing,you can take out a book and read if you feel like doing so.Now who will bother to take a laptop and switch it on,and search for the Internet connection,and look for stories to read.How inconvenient!So at this very mo
16、ment I think its quite dangerous for me,because I think Im unable to answer the question in the topicWhich method do you prefer,Internet or books?because I love the feeling of conjuring a hundred pages of Harry Potter,more than scrolling down the screen;but at the same time I love the feeling of sea
17、rching the things,the speed of my searching for things on the Internet,more than wasting my time in the library.So in this age of Internet,in this age of modernization,in this age of civilization,why do you have to force someone to choose between internet and books?I prefer using both of them.Thank
18、you very much. 问题：Contestant No.13.Thank you very much for encouraging us to be unrealistic dreamers(Thank you) and not surrender to Mr.Reality.(hehe.) With the traffic jam getting worse-especially in big cities-Im actually very interested in your childhood dream:To invent a device that can move peo
19、ple around easily.Is this still your dream?If not,why do you give it up?Is it because it is considered unrealistic?Thank you. 回答：Thank you very much.This is not my dream now.Not because it is (not), realistic.Maybe you can say its unrealistic.But if I,my interest is still inventing this device,I wil
20、l keep on trying my best to invent this decive.My changing of my dreams is because of the fact that I realized my interest does not lie in science.Now I am a law school student.But last semester,as Ive just mentioned,I was working on my physics essay paper and actually last semester I was a student
21、in the school of aerospace.Oh my god,aerospace!And Ive changed my major to law school.And so the changing of my dream is actually because of the fact that I realize my interest lies in,maybe communicating with others,or having interactions with the others.Science is very fantastic,but its not my pie
22、ce of cake.Yes,so thats the reason.Thank you very much. 问题：Thank you very much for your speeches.Talding about Internet,I just want to know your view.Do you believe everything is ture on the Internet?If not,why not? 回答：Thank you very much.I dont believe everything is true in the Internet.This is a s
23、traight forward answer.And if not,why not?Because I dont believe them.And I have an experience of meeting someone on the Internet who claims to be a girl.Yes and,a very sad,sorry story for me.But yes,for this reason,I think I dont believe that everything on the Internet is true.But I will try my bes
24、t to discover if that was true or not,or that was falsified or not.Thank you very much. 问题：Contestant No.13.Thank you very much for your speeches.You were talking about dreams being realistic or unrealistic and your current dream is to graduate from law school.But what is your realistic or unrealist
25、ic dream after that?What do you want to use your graduation in law for? 回答：Thank you very much.Actually,my dream,as mentioned in the last part of my speech,is to share my feelings,share my dreams with the globe.And when all the people in this Earth have my dream,they will work hard for the social be
26、tterment,I believe in that.So after Ive graduated from law school,I think I will try my best to persuade the others to,to accept my dream,and that is exactly why I am here.I am here trying to persuade you all,I think you all,after listening to my speech,hopefully,you can try to understand my dream a
27、nd that we are all a member of the global village,and we have to try our best to work hard for the social betterment of all.This is why I want to be,saying,speaking something here,and that is my goal-or realistic or unrealistic dream after Ive graduated.I think I will try my best to du what Ive said before.Thank you very much.
