英语演讲奋斗的青春

　　All the celebrations welcoming the new century were hold in the year20__,　because life without a greeting is like the sky without the sun.Greetingsare very important for the whole world,in my opinion.

　　But I don't know whether greetings are enough for us.Especially when wemeet with failures .I remember quite clearly that when I was a child,if I falldown and was on the brink of crying,my father always told me"Please stand upfrom where you fall down!"

　　Yes,we must stand up from where we fall down.

　　That was a special mid night in 1993.E_pectations filled our hearts.

　　We stared at the TV,hoping e_citedly as the voice would fly to ourears.

　　But at last,each Chinese who loves our motherland was distressed to knowthe result:Beijing ,lost to Sydeny by a margin of two votes in the Olympichosting competition.

　　Eight years have past,but the frustration has not healed with time atall.

　　Now,at the begining of the new millennium,all of the pride anddisappointment of the 20th century had gone with the wind. The 21stcentury,which is full of hope,longing znd thought has come. Someone said,wewould start from zero on.

　　Should I really start from zero on?

　　No!I hold that we should go on with our efferts and ambitions stayed bylast century,and make our life better.

　　"New Beijing,Great Olympics!" The voice cries this out around China'scaptital,a 3,000 -year-old city these days.

　　Beijing,along with Paris,Istanbul,Osake and Toronto,has been shortlisted bythe International Olympic Committee as an official candidate city for the 20__Olympic Games.

　　This is Beijing's second attempt to host the games.

　　Everyone fully supports Beijing's bid for it.

　　Maybe,we can paint fences along the main roads of Beijing.

　　Maybe,we can make much of yhe city cleaned up.

　　Maybe,we can learn and speak basic English idioms and e_pressions for dailycommunication.

　　But,but are they just enough?

　　Facing the new century,mankind is driven by the revolution of science andtechnoiogy,world economy is undergoing broud and profound changes. But nobodycan deny the fact that compared with developed nations,developing countries areconfronted with more pressure and challenges.In order to become famous in theworld,we must speed up our international economic restructuring to catch up withindustrialized nations.

　　Supporting Beijing's bid is a systematic project that can supportChina'sdevelopment efforts.

　　I believe recycled paper,clean fuel,sorted rubbish,water-saving andenery-efficient facilities will become reality in the coming years forChina.

　　I believe the new century is an era of learning ans teaching,and lifelongeducation has become one of the main trends in the future developmet of Chinesesociety.

　　I believe that,on July 13,our dream of Beijing's Olympic bid will becometrue.

　　Because to millions of Chinese,for China to have the gloal respect andsupport that she deserves is not just a dream.

　　It is a part of our very souls.For we are not only equal members of ourmotherland, China,but we are also equal contributors to the world as a whole.Let us stand together,all nations in Beijing,in brotherhood,friendship andpeace, in 20__ and forever!
