毕业典礼发言稿简短英语20篇

I’ve been lucky. And my wish for all of you is that not only tomorrow, but 20 and 40 and 50 years from now, you’ve found that sweet spot, that thing that allows you to get up in the morning, put both feet on the floor, go out and pursue what you love, and think it still matters.

Some of you will go to Silicon Valley and make great contributions to empower individuals and societies and maybe even design a life-changing app, like how to unsubscribe to Obama for America email list -- (laughter) -- the biggest “pan-list” of all times.

Some of you will go to Wall Street and big Wall Street law firms, government and activism, Peace Corps, Teach for America. You’ll become doctors, researchers, journalists, artists, actors, musicians. Two of you -— one of whom was one of my former interns in the White House, Sam Cohen, and Andrew Heymann —- will be commissioned in the United States Navy. Congratulations, gentlemen. Were proud of you. (Applause.)

But all of you have one thing in common you will all seek to find that sweet spot that satisfies your ambition and success and happiness.

I’ve met an awful lot of people in my career. And I’ve noticed one thing, those who are the most successful and the happiest -- whether they’re working on Wall Street or Main Street, as a doctor or nurse, or as a lawyer, or a social worker, I’ve made certain basic observation about the ones who from my observation wherever they were in the world were able to find that sweet spot between success and happiness. Those who balance life and career, who find purpose and fulfillment, and where ambition leads them.

尊敬的老师，亲爱的同学们：

大家好!我是孙宏宇，今天我要来竞选——英语课代表。

为什么我要竞选英语课代表呢?因为第一：我喜欢英语。第二：我口语很好。第三：我愿意成为老师的小帮手。我上了很多个英语培训班，在那儿，也令我学到了不少知识，我如果成为了英语课代表，相信这些也可以变成我的优势!

既然是花，就要开放;既然是树，就要长成栋梁;既然是英语课代表，就要成为一名出色的领航员!

如果我当上了英语课代表，那么我将会引导同学们去学习一些相关的英语知识，加上每天可以让同学们欣赏一个有趣的英语小故事，让大家体会到英语的有趣之处。在同学需要帮助时，我会挺身而出，耐心地教他们不会做的题目。如果别的同学比我优秀，我也不会气馁，而会去请教老师或请教别的同学。

我还会成为老师的小帮手：

一，在上课前提醒同学们做好课前准备，安静地等老师来。

二，提前去办公室拿这节课要用的作业本。

三，如果老师有事不来上课，我会及时向班主任通知。

四，老师让我做的一些事儿，我会尽量完成，可不耽误学习。

最后我想说，流星的光辉来自天体的摩擦，珍珠的璀璨来自贝壳的眼泪。如果我竞选成功，我会更加充满自信;如果失败，我会找出我的不足之处来加以改进，希望同学们投我宝贵的一票。

谢谢大家!

Looking around me today, I think of the generations of Yale graduates who have come before you. Individuals who have been for something.

There are many names we know and others that would be less familiar – presidents and world leaders, artists and business executives, scholars and scientists.

Like them, I know you will heed the call to leadership and service and leave your mark on every realm of human endeavor.

That is Yale’s mission – that is what Yale is for.

As members of the Yale community, what do we believe?

We believe that facts and expertise, applied with creativity and wisdom, can transform the world.

We believe that education and research save lives and make life more meaningful.

We believe that diversity of thought and diversity indeed are essential to human progress.

We believe, most of all, in the boundless potential of human ingenuity; that together, we can solve great challenges and bring light and truth to a world in great need of it.

The good news is the way to clean up the pollution can be found in [the] three words written on the cover of your diploma. It’s the motto of this great university: ‘Per Veritatem Vis’ (strength through truth). And it’s a motto that fits perfectly with a university named for George Washington.

In 1794, during President Washington’s second term, there was a faction ginning up support for secession. Washington recognized the threat it was…threat it posed – and he was confident that it would not succeed. He wrote in a letter, and I quote, ‘It is not difficult by concealment of some facts, and exaggeration of others to bias a well-meaning mind, at least for a while.’

But, he continued, ‘Truth will ultimately prevail where pains is taken to bring it to light.’

Now, I know the phrase ‘pains is taken’ probably just horrified every English major here. As kids, we were taught that Washington never told a lie, but they never told us he had trouble with subject-verb agreements.

My father values talent. He recognizes real knowledge and skill when he finds it. He is colorblind and gender neutral. He hires the best person for the job, period.Words and promises, no matter visionary they sound will only get you so far. In our business, you’re not a builder, unless you’ve got a building to show for it, or in my father’s case, city skylines. Most people strive their entire lives to achieve greatsuccess in a single industry.My father has succeeded in many on the highest level and on a global scale. One of the reasons he has thrived as an entrepreneur is because he listens to everyone. Billionaire executives don’t usually ask the people doing the work for their opinion of the work. My father is an exception.

The story with English and me

Hello everyone，it is glad to meet you，my name is Nong Yanxing，you can also call me Virita, It’s my English name. I am a Howell School’s girl and I am an outgoing girl too, so I like playing jokes with others.

I am fourteen years old and I have learnt English for six years now I’ve loved English since the first time, I’ve heard it from a tape. The voice from the tape was very wonderful and the language was so nice .That time I thought，how wonderful the language is! And if I can speak English as well as the speaker in the tape，that will be amazing! So I asked my mum：“Can I learn English? I really love it!” “Of course you can，but are you sure about it? Can you insist on it?” She was a bit excited. “Of course I can，mum. I love it very much，I want to learn it. ”I said confidently，“Oh，my good kid，you are very good，I am so excited about you are interested in English. ”She gave me a sweet hug. We laughed together. Then，I’ve started my English learning way.

At the beginning，I loved English because it sounds comfortable ,but I can’t believe that how difficult to learn English grammar. Then I felt tired, and I really want to give it up. Buton that main time，my English teacher found me was a bit strange，“What wrong with you，Virita?You look a bit strange.” “Nothing, I just think English grammar is so difficult. It is boring，I don’t want to learn it anymore!” “Why?You can’t give it up，Virita. I can help you just trust me.”“Really?” “Of course!” Then she helped me with my English grammar after class everyday. She told me how to find a good way for my own to learn English grammar. How to find a good way to remember the English new words. She told me try to love English! Interests is the best teacher! So my English marks improve very fast. And in the finally exam，I got the best marks at school. I was so happy .But my English teacher warned me again “Don’t be proud of it. Hasty climbers have the sudden falls. You should come on!”

I also like watching Holly Wood movies, for example, The Green Man in the Avengers is very strong and V in V of vendetta is very cool. Most of actors and actresses speak English in the film, and I really want to understand the whole meaning about a film without any caption one day. Itis difficult for me to make it come true. I should work harder.

English is a very beautiful language .And itis my friend，a real friend. Although I can’t feel it with my hands, but I can feel it with my heart. English brought me a lot and I have a big dream about English. To make it come true ,I should work harder and learn more Western culture. We’ll love each other more and more.

This is the story with English and me.

Thanks for listening.

Over time, our great research universities drive human progress. They lay the foundation of life as it can be, more than capitalism, more than government policy. In life, personal and social ideals are everything or almost everything, and universities are all about ideas, so it works.

That is, it works provided certain conditions outside the academy are maintained. Universities are not invulnerable to the actions beyond their borders and they depend for their vitality on the societal respect for and commitment to what we do

Now, the enemies of the search for truth. What is important to realize is that the ideals that define the academy and guide the activity pursued herein, just like the primary freedoms we live in, do not come easily. They are in fact often counterintuitive. The embrace of freedom necessarily means you must accept a certain degree of unconformable disorder and even seeing chaos and sometimes unnerves the best of us.

There are many wise people who have commented on this fact of life. My favorite is a great justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., who is setting forth the first articulation of the modern first amendment jurisprudence noted that the choice the openness required for the search for truth runs against human instinct. He bluntly explained how the impulse to persecute those we disagree with is actually quote “perfectly logical, given the natural wish to believe what we want to believe.”

Hello everyone!

My name is-.I want to be the monitor of our class for I can undertake the responsibility and I have enough ability to be competent!First,what I think the monitor is a sever for a class,he should spare no effort to help everyone in study and daily life.Second,I will do my best in study,thus helping others.At last,I will completely layout our descipline in practice.Surely I believe I can!

Thank you!

hello! everyone. i’m tony, an 11-year-old happy boy.i live with my parents and we love each other.

i have many hobbies, such as sports, singing and reading books.and i love animals most. now i will tell you about my favorite animal.

they are very precious sea animals with long bodies.theylive on fish, shrimpsand so on.they are very clever. people often train them for performances which brings us a lot of happiness and joy.they are very friendly and peaceful. they never attack people. instead, they have saved many people in danger.

now,do you know what they are? yes, you are right. they are dolphins.

i hope we can take actions to protect dolphins, so they will always be with us.

二 good morning boys and girls, it’s a great pleasure for me/it’s nice to to give you a speech here. nowadays mastering a foreign language is very helpful in our daily life. i feel it a great honor to share my opinions about english learning with you. firstly, i believe it is useful to remember as many sentence patterns as possible. secondly, we should try our best to read more english newspa-pe-rs and magazines after class, which helps to improve our reading abilities. besides, tv programmes are of great help to us. last but not least, it’s necessary for us to communicate with foreign friends as much as possible and increase our awareness of foreign cultures, which can also help to improve our english. however, sometimes i find it difficult to pronounce some english words correctly. i would appreciate it if someone could give me some advice. thanks for your attention.

You might never fail on the scale I did, but some failure in life is inevitable. It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default.

Failure gave me an inner security that I had never attained by passing examinations. Failure taught me things about myself that I could have learned no other way. I discovered that I had a strong will, and more discipline than I had suspected; I also found out that I had friends whose value was truly above the price of rubies.

The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive. You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity. Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more than any qualification I ever earned.

尊敬的殷老师：

您好!我是，我自愿申请担任班长职务。

我竞选班长的理由有以下两点：

第一，我有当班长的经历。在小学期间两次被不同的班级班主任选上担任班长职务，其中包括在河北借读期间两个学期中的第二个学期，说明我具备这方面的能力，得到了老师的认可。

第二，我在小学4-6年级期间担任大队委，其中六年级担任学校大队长职务。“责任心强，认真细心，公平正义，有工作热情，有大局观念，善于沟通，善于观察，敢于管理，敢于评价，有良好的语言表达能力和总结评价能力。”这是殷老师对班长的职位要求，其实这也是作为大队长工作需要具备的能力。我相信，我能够做好学校大队长的工作也完全能胜任班级班长的职务。

下面我描述一下我在小学期间的主要工作内容：

第一，作为大队委，协助大队辅导员做学校宣传报，广播活动，升旗仪式;大队老师不在时主持大队会议，并分配大队委员的工作任务，积极检查执行情况;负责总结大队的工作执行情况，并记录在日志上;第二，作为班主任的小帮手，4年级开始早去学校10-20分钟，在早自习时为同学出两道疑难题或典型例题，帮着提高班级成绩;帮着老师改判作业，统计分数，使用家校互动平台通知家长;班级同学有不会的问题或者事情能够积极帮着解决;协助老师维持课堂纪律;我所做的手抄报经常被作为优秀作品表扬或者在学校展示;我的幻灯片制作不仅是班级小组时拿第一，还经常应用在大队工作中;团队意识强，经常带领小组成员积极分配，完成小组任务，并获第一;

第三，4年级进入国旗班，当过升旗手，领操员，独立能力强，善于思考，善于沟通，责任心强，比如放学时看到国旗没有收起来会帮着收回来;比如最后离开教室时看看教室的窗户是否关好，风扇，灯开关是否关好;上课了，黑板没有擦好，会督促值日生做或者自己去做;我见黑板布太破了，我从家里拿来一块新抹布等等，我认为责任心体现在为班级，同学，学校所做的一点点细节上。

我申请参与竞选班长职务。若班里有比我更适合的同学当班长，我也一定会支持，并希望担任学习委员或科技委员，或团支书中的职务。因为我责任心强，有积极向上的精神，有精力，学习努力，助人为乐，希望自己的奉献精神得到认可。

此致

敬礼!

1. As a speaker, I’ve only had two complaints from audiences. One, that I talk so loud they can’t fall asleep. And two, that I talk so long they can’t stay awake.

2. Some people suffer from stage fright. I don’t. The stage doesn’t bother me at all. It’s the audience that scares the hell out of me!...

3. At one time or another, I think each of us has wished we could turn back the clock. I know if I could turn back the clock just 45 minutes, I’d be the happiest person in this room. Because that’s when I left my speech on the kitchen table...

4. I don’t want to brag, but the last time I did this it brought the audience to its feet. And they never sat down again until they reached their cars...

5. If I’m a little hesitant, you’ll have to excuse me. This is the first after-dinner speech I’ve ever made ---except for yelling at my kids in McDonald’s...

6. I’m not used to speaking to such a large audience. The one thing that gives me courage is that I’m speaking on my favorite subject --- me.

7. People always ask me why I wear a big red ten gallon hat (or some other very noticeable article of clothing) and I tell them. It has to do with taking a positive but practical view of life. For instance, I know that no matter what happens, the good Lord is watching over us. Then again, there are now six billion of us, so I want to make darn sure He can pick me out of the crowd...

Good morning,ladies and gentlemen.

Have you ever heard of Lin Dan or Li Zongwei ?I guess the answer is a big Yes.But do you know a badminton player from Brazil?His name is Yogg.Well,Today,let’s begin with his story.

With smelly streets,spider webs and dreadful security,it is the slum of Rio,a forgotten place.Fortunately,sports lightened it. A noticeable mark of this slum is the court for badminton.About 200 boys and girls come here to practice badminton on every training day.Yogg was just one of them.A couple of years ago,badminton was introduced to Yogg for the first time.Since then,Yogg was obsessed with badminton and he said: "Everytime when I play badminton,I feel like I were a badminton,which could fly out of the slum!" And yes,he did it!The sports carried him far away from guns,drugs and alcohol.He successfully participated in the badminton game of the Olympics this year.Sports saved him.

That’s the sports’ miracle to change an individual. But more than that,sports can change the world as well.

In the year 1971, Beijing received a special group of people.They are the Ping-pong players and journalists from America. Several

days later,Chinese ping-pong team paid a return visit,which created an international sensation .Since then,the ice was broken and this led to the normalization of Sino-US relations.American president Nixon of that time recalled: "Small the ping-pong,strong the power.Just a ball promotes the development between China and America"Not only are we two countries changed by sports,there’s more.British and German troops held a temporary ceasefire on Christmas Day during the World War two; each country on the planet gathers together to enjoy Olympics every four years.;even the two Korean delegations stepped into the stadium simultaneously because of sports.

I know sports can bring us a sight of our potential;I know sports can bring us minds unafraid to fight,even though the trail without victory;I know sports can bring the world the power to celebrate,the reason to unite and the courage to be better.And we know,we know the power of sports.

Ladies and gentlemen,let’s shake the world by the power of sports.

You have earned the endorsement of those who have come before you and we expect that you will honor the legacy of improving the world by your contributions in [the] years to come.

And while it may not be easy to determine your passion or decipher your purpose, we will always be here to support you as you navigate this experience we call ‘life’.

We will always be here not just to tell you, but to show you that the only way around adversity isn not around it at all; it is straight through it.

So, expect adversity – expect adversity, excuse me. Invite it. And embrace it. Because it will be your greatest asset. It will help you be a better human being. It will teach you the same thing my mother taught me…that no morth and prosper!”

atter how bad you feel, that even at your lowest point, you got this.

Because Dukies…Dukies hear clearly, graduates, Dukies are like titanium. We might be dented on every side, but we are never crushed. And in the final analysis, we are “forever Duke”.

You have a world of opportunity in front of you, and it is for you to decide what to do with this platform that you’ve worked so hard to earn.

No matter what field you enter after graduation, you have the opportunity to use your gifts to make a difference in the world.

This can feel daunting, at the outset of your post-Stanford life. Some of you may know exactly what contribution you want to make in the world, while others may still be searching for your way to make an impact.

But whatever you do, whatever profession you pursue or journey you take – whether you become a teacher or a community leader, a lawyer or a physician, an engineer or an artist, or a scholar or a scientist, or a mother or father, a caregiver to the next generation – whatever you make of your life and the opportunities before you, I hope you will use your gifts to change the world for the better.

Having a platform also comes with a responsibility. It requires an ongoing process of self-examination and a continual return to your guiding values.

You may find, at times, that the path forward is unclear. Or you may realize, in hindsight, that you have made missteps along the way.

All of us make mistakes. I certainly do – just ask my wife and kids!

All of our lives require self-examination.

尊敬的老师，亲爱的同学们：

大家好!

希望老师和同学们能选我，谢谢大家!

There’s no silver bullet, no single formula, no reductive list. But they all seem to understand that happiness and success result from an accumulation of thousands of little things built on character, all of which have certain common features in my observation.

First, the most successful and happiest people I’ve known understand that a good life at its core is about being personal. It’s about being engaged. It’s about being there for a friend or a colleague when theyre injured or in an accident, remembering the birthdays, congratulating them on their marriage, celebrating the birth of their child. It’s about being available to them when theyre going through personal loss. It’s about loving someone more than yourself, as one of your speakers have already mentioned. It all seems to get down to being personal.

Thats the stuff that fosters relationships. It’s the only way to breed trust in everything you do in your life.

Let me give you an example. After only four months in the United States Senate, as a 30-year-old kid, I was walking through the Senate floor to go to a meeting with Majority Leader Mike Mansfield. And I witnessed another newly elected senator, the extremely conservative Jesse Helms, excoriating Ted Kennedy and Bob Dole for promoting the precursor of the Americans with Disabilities Act. But I had to see the Leader, so I kept walking.

Good morning，boys and girls!

I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech! To begin with ,I want to pop a question .Does everybody dream a good dream last night? Actually ,Today I want to talk about dream with you. Of course, What I want to talk is not a dream you have last night,but a dream about life.

Every one has dreams about life, different dreams at different life stage,and we need dreams to support us. Dreams are like the stars we never reach in the sky,but like most mariners,we can chart our course by them. With the dream,we have a direction,with a direction, we were no longer confused.With the dream, there is hope,With hope, we have the strength to fight.

Life is tough,and there are always ups and downs, maybe we fail in the way to our aims,and we may feel depressed ,whenever at this time, the dream in our heart can always confort us, encourage us ,and support us to move ahead .

So bear in mind your dream and never give up your dream easily. look into the great people’s experiences, you may find the truth that good dream makes a good one, because there is nothing like a dream to create the future and build up our body .

Finally ,I would suggest. Have a dream in mind and keep pursuing on it. Try to use your time sensibly, do what you should do to make your dream come ture. Although it is a hard job to get to the top of your dreaming mountain, but as the saying says, “mountain’s high, but man makes the peak”. As long as we keep, we will finally fullfill it .

下午好，男孩和女孩!我很高兴站在这里给你一个简短的讲话!首先，我要流行的问题。

每个人都有个好梦的最后一晚吗?实际上，今天我想和你谈谈梦想。当然，我想说的不是你的梦想昨晚，而是一个关于生活的梦想。每个人都有梦想的生活，不同的梦想，不同的人生阶段，我们需要梦想来支持我们。理想就象是星星我们永远无法到达，在天空，但最喜欢的水手一样，我们的航程可。

和梦想，我们有一个方向，一个方向，我们不再迷茫。有梦，就有希望，有希望，我们有力量去战斗。生活是很艰苦的，而且总有起伏，也许我们不能在我们的目标的方式，我们可能会感到沮丧，每当这个时候，我们心中的梦想总是可以安慰我们，鼓励我们，支持我们前进。

所以记住你的梦想，永不放弃你的梦想很容易。看看这个伟大的人经验，你会发现真理，好梦是好的，因为没有什么比梦想更能创造未来，建立我们的身体。最后，我想建议。有一个梦想，追求它。要明智地使用你的时间，做你应该做什么来让你的梦想成真。虽然这是一个很辛苦的工作来顶你的梦想山，但俗话说，“山的高度，但男人使峰值”。只要我们坚持，我们将最终实现它。
