Hello everyone！ As we all know, because of human to nature for excessive, has led to the ruthless nature of revenge, rain, storms, floods, droughts, earthquakes, forest fires and other unexpected disaster.

Hope you don't waste water and throw rubbish everywhere....... If we can do it, we will live a happy life every day, no more fear, and then there will be a disaster! Hope you can do it!

I would like to appeal to people to say, "take good care of the earth, you and I are safe."!"

篇2

Today I am very glad to be here to share with you my ideas of success. What is success? It is what everyone is longing for.Sometimes success would be rather simple. Winning a game is success; getting a high grade in the exam is success; making a new friend is success; even now I am

standing here giving my speech is somehow also success.

However, as a persons whole life is concerned, success becomes very

complicated. Is fortune success? Is fame success? Is high social status success? No, I dont think so. I believe success is the realization of people

s hopes and ideals.Nowadays, in the modern society there are many people

who are regarded as the successful. And the most obvious characteristics of hem are money, high position and luxurious life. So most people believe that s success and all that they do is for this purpose. But the problem is wether it is real success. We all know there are always more money, higher position and better condition in front of us. If we keep chasing them, where is the end? What will satisfy us at last? Therefore, we can see, to get the real Success we must need something inside, which is the realization of

people hopes and ideals.

Different people have different ideas about success; cause peoples hopes and ideas vary from one another. But I am sure every success is dear to everybody, cause it is not easy to come by, cause in the process of our striving for success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightened by the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and sense of responsibility. These are the best treasures. So now I am very proud that I have this opportunity to stand here speaking to all of you. It is my success, cause I raise up to challenge my hope.

What is success? Everyone has his own interpretation as I do. But I am sure

every success leads to an ever-brighter future. So ladies and gentlemen, believe in our hopes, believe in ourselves, we, every one of us, can make a

successful life! Wish you all good success!

篇3

It is a great honor and pleasure to be here on this beautiful Saturday morning to share with you my sentiments about life and passion for the English language.

About a year and a half ago， I took part in my very first English Speech Contest. When I stood before the microphone with all eyes starring directly at me， I could hardly speak. I stood there， embarrassed and helpless， struggling in vain for the right thing to say. My fears had paralyzed me.

While my passion for English has never changed， I lost my courage to speak in public. When my professor again encouraged me to take part in this Competition， I said “no.” I couldn’t endure yet another painful experience. He looked me straight in the eye and said something that pierced my heart. I will never forget his words. “Look，” he said， “We all have our fears， and you have yours. You could twist your ankle in a basketball game， but then be afraid to ever play again. Running away can never dispel your fears， but action will. A winner is not one who never fails，but one who never quits.”

I spent a whole day with his words twisting and turning in my mind. Then I made the bravest and wisest decision of my life: I would face my fears – and take part in the competition!

As it turned out， my dear old professor was right. Now， here I am， once again standing before a microphone. My heart is beating fast， and my mouth is dry， but most importantly， I have faced my fears -- and that makes all the difference!

Thank you.

战胜恐惧

尊敬的评委，各位来宾，女士们先生们，我很荣幸在这个美妙的星期六早上来到这里，与你们分享我生命中一段特别的经历。

大概一年半以前，我参加了生平第一次演讲比赛。站在麦克风前，面对观众们期待的眼神，我竟紧张的说不出话来。那一刻，我是多么无助啊!

篇4

Maybe I seem less mature or experiences than my most colleagues. But I still believe age is not important. Compared with age, passion energy and confidence are more significant!

Admittedly, life has its ups and downs, its peaks and valleys. So I encountered certain difficulties in the work. However, I strongly believe the best way to success is to keep your direction and stick to your goal. Direction means objectives. The right direction is like a lamp. This lamp can guide you in darkness and help you overcome obstacles on your way. Otherwise, you will easily get lost or hesitate to go ahead.

I never fear difficulties or failures. Because I believe success is going from failure to failure without losing passion. In fact, the ultimate failure is not trying, for it means you can never make progress toward your goals. As long as you keep trying and go ahead toward your direction, you will succeed and have a bright future. Just remember never give up or lose hope because nothing is too easy. Rainy days will end and the sky will be beautiful again.

In short, everyone should have a direction and keep this direction, no matter what difficulties he or she will encounter.

Finally, I want to take this opportunity to wish you all good health and success in your career.

And you know it is a specially day, which is the Mid-autumn Festival, so I wish you all and your family a happy Mid-autumn Festival.

Thanks so much! That is all!

中秋节英文主题演讲稿

Mid Autumn Festival is a traditional festival of China. It used to be as important as Spring Festival .It is usually celebrated in September or Ocotber. This festival is to celebrate the havast and to enjoy the beautiful moon light.To some extent， it is like Thanks Giving day in western countries. On this day， people usually get together with their families and have a nice meal. After that， people always eat delicious moon cakes， and watch the moon. The moon is always very round on that day， and makes people think of their relitives and friends. It is a day of pleasure and happiness. Hope you have a wonderful Mid Autumn festival!

The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the two most important holidays in the Chinese calendar (the other being the Chinese Lunar New Year)， and is a legal holiday in several countries.

Farmers celebrate the end of the summer harvesting season on this date. Traditionally，on this day，Chinese family members and friends will gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon， and eat moon cakes and pomeloes together. It is also common to have barbecues outside under the moon， and to put pomelo rinds on one's head. Brightly lit lanterns are often carried around by children.

Together with the celebration，there appear some special customs in different parts of the country，such as burning incense，planting Mid-Autumn trees，lighting lanterns on towers，and fire dragon dances. Shops selling mooncakes，before the festival，often display pictures of Chang'e，floating to the moon.

吃元宵

Yuanxiao is the special food for the Lantern Festival. It is believed that Yuanxiao is named after a palace maid, Yuanxiao, of Emperor Wu Di of the Han Dynasty. Yuanxiao is a kind of sweet dumpling, which is made with sticky rice flour filled with sweet stuffing. And the Festival is named after the famous dumpling. It is very easy to cook - simply dump them in a pot of boiling water for a few minutes - and eaten as a dessert.

元宵是元宵节的特色食品。据说，元宵是因汉武帝时期的一位名叫元宵的宫女而得名。元宵是一种带馅儿的甜食，是由糯米粉加上甜的馅料制成。元宵节就是因此食品得名。元宵的烹制方法非常简单，将元宵倒入装满沸水的锅中煮几分钟就可以了。

Guessing lantern riddles

猜灯谜

"Guessing lantern riddles"is an essential part of the Festival. Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. If visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. If they are right, they will get a little gift. The activity emerged during people's enjoyment of lanterns in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.

猜灯谜也是元宵节活动的一个基本组成部分。灯笼的所有者将谜语写在一张纸条上，然后将纸条展示在灯笼上。如果赏灯者猜出谜语，就将纸条取出，然后找灯笼所有者确认答案。打对的话，他们就可以领取一份小礼品。这个活动起源于宋朝(960——1279)。猜灯谜活动极富情趣和智慧，因此在全社会广受欢迎。

Watch fireworks

看烟火

In the daytime of the Festival, performances such as a dragon lantern dance, a lion dance, a land boat dance, a yangge dance, walking on stilts and beating drums while dancing will be staged. On the night, except for magnificent lanterns, fireworks form a beautiful scene. Most families spare some fireworks from the Spring Festival and let them off in the Lantern Festival. Some local governments will even organize a fireworks party. On the night when the first full moon enters the New Year, people become really intoxicated by the imposing fireworks and bright moon in the sky.

元宵节的白天会有舞龙舞狮、划旱船、扭秧歌、踩高跷。而在晚上，除了各种大型灯会，灿烂的焰火也是一幅美丽的画卷。很多家庭在春节时会留下一部分烟花等着元宵节放。有的地方政府甚至会组织焰火晚会。当新年的第一轮圆月升上夜空时，人们都会因燃放的烟火和空中的明月而兴奋。

英文介绍The 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the Chinese Lantern Festival because the first lunar month is called yuan-month and in the ancient times people called night Xiao. The 15th day is the first night to see a full moon. So the day is also called Yuan Xiao Festival in China.

According to the Chinese tradition, at the very beginning of a new year, when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky, there should be thousands of colorful lanterns hung out for people to appreciate. At this time, people will try to solve the puzzles on the lanterns and eat yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball) and get all their families united in the joyful atmosphere.

History

Until the Sui Dynasty in the sixth century, Emperor Yangdi invited envoys from other countries to China to see the colorful lighted lanterns and enjoy the gala(节日的，庆祝的)performances.

By the beginning of the Tang Dynasty in the seventh century, the lantern displays would last three days. The emperor also lifted the curfew(宵禁令), allowing the people to enjoy the festive lanterns day and night. It is not difficult to find Chinese poems which describe this happy scene.

篇6

It is no coincidence that the relationship between our countries has accompanied a period of positive change. China has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty -- an accomplishment unparalleled in human history -- while playing a larger role in global events. And the United States has seen our economy grow along with the standard of living enjoyed by our people， while bringing the Cold War to a successful conclusion.

There is a Chinese proverb: "Consider the past， and you shall know the future." Surely， we have known setbacks and challenges over the last 30 years. Our relationship has not been without disagreement and difficulty. But the notion that we must be adversaries is not predestined -- not when we consider the past. Indeed， because of our cooperation， both the United States and China are more prosperous and more secure. We have seen what is possible when we build upon our mutual interests， and engage on the basis of mutual respect.

And yet the succeof that engagement depends upon understanding -- on sustaining an open dialogue， and learning about one another and from one another. For just as that American table tennis player pointed out -- we share much in common as human beings， but our countries are different in certain ways.

选择与放弃演讲稿英文1When we encourage people, we will always tell them not to give up, they canbe successful if they insist.“Never give up” have been the inspiring words,people accept them as the positive life attitude.However, sometimes if peopleinsist all the time and never change, these inspiring words are not wise tokeep.

People should learn to give up sometimes.Parents think study is veryimportant, so they ask their kids to insist to learn and go to college.But thefact is that not all the kids are good at study, some kids are not interested instudy, they are good at other things.Parents should not push their children togo to college, the kids can learn the things they are good at, like cooking,amending cars and so on.Going to college is not the only way to be successful,learning the practical skills also makes them successful.

People must know clearly what they are insisting, if they keep the rightdirection, they should insist, but if they keep the wrong direction, they needto give up and open another new chapter of their lives.

当我们鼓励人们的时候，我们总会告诉他们不要放弃，如果坚持下去，就能成功。“不要放弃”已经成为了鼓励的代名词，人们接受它们，把这当做乐观的生活态度。然而，有时候如果人们一直坚持，不作出改变，坚持这些励志的词语就不明智了。

有时候人们应该学着去放弃。父母认为学习是很重要的，因此他们要求孩子坚持学习，直到上大学。但是事实上，并不是所有的孩子擅长学习，一些孩子对学习不感兴趣，他们擅长别的东西。父母不应该逼迫孩子上大学，孩子可以学习他们擅长的东西，比如烹饪，修汽车等等。上大学并不是成功的唯一出路，学会使用的技巧同样也能成功。

人们必须清楚知道他们坚持的是什么，如果他们保持的是对的方向，他们应该坚持下去，但是如果他们走的是错误的方向，他们需要放弃，展开人生的新篇章。

选择与放弃演讲稿英文2There is a saying said that don t give up forever.When I was a child,myteachers often told that don t give up,and the hope was always there.

Whenever we meet with a problem,however hard the problem is,we shouldn tstop our work.We must have a faith that the most beautiful view will come inafter the most high hill.There are also many examples,such as Zhang Haidi,ZhengZHihua,Helen Keller and so on,they all had a bad life,but they all successed bytheir efforts.

In a word,if we have dreams,we should do our best to come true ourdreams,we shouldn t give up!

选择与放弃演讲稿英文3We often hear people say, “Never give up.” These can be encouraging wordsand words of determination.A person who believes in them will keep trying toreach his goal no matter how many times he fails.In my opinion, the quality ofdetermination to succeed is an important one to have.Therefore, I believe thatwe should never give up.

One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieveanything.It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at somethingnew, so we should not feel discouraged and should try again.Besides, if wealways give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and growas people.Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from ourmistakes only if we make a new effort.If we do not try again, the lesson wehave learned is wasted.Finally, we should never give up because as we work toreach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeedin other areas of our lives.If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin todoubt our abilities.

In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for ourgoals.Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and whatwe learn will help us to become better, more confident people.Furthermore, ifwe give up, we have non chance of attaining our goals, but if we keep trying,there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.

我们常听到人们说：“永远不要放弃。”这句话可能是要鼓励别人，也可能是表示自己的决心。相信自己的人，不管经历多少次失败，都会不断试着要达到目标。我认为，有成功的决心是每个人都应该有的重要特质。因此，我认为我们应该永不放弃。

其中一个理由是，如果我们太轻易放弃，就几乎无法完成任何事。我们第一次尝试新事物会失败，这是很平常的事，所以我们不应感到气馁，而应该要再试一次。而且，如果我们总是一失败就放弃，就无法培养新技能并且不断地成长。我们应该永不放弃的另一个原因是，只有再努力一次才能从错误中学习。如果我们不再试一次，那么我们所学到的教训就白白浪费了。最后，我们应该永不放弃，因为当我们努力达到目标的时候，我们就会培养出自信，而这种自信将有助于我们在生活的其他领域中获得成功。如果我们不挑战自我，我们就会开始怀疑自己的能力。

简言之，当我们努力追求目标时，永不放弃是很重要的。不管最后有没有成功，我们都会学到一些东西，而我们所学到的东西，将会使自己成为一个更好、更有自信的人。而且，如果放弃的话，我们就没有机会达到目标。但是如果能不断地尝试，总有一天我们一定会有机会成功的。

选择与放弃演讲稿英文4Hello, everyone! I’m glad to stand here to share my opinions with you.

At first, I want to tell a story about me.When I was twelve years old,there was a sports meeting in my school.And I was asked to take part in thehigh jump competition.I was afraid because I had never jumped.But my dad toldme, “Don’t worry, I will help you.” Then he started to train me.At thebeginning, I couldn’t skip the pole of 1.1m.I was so disappointed that I wantedto give up.At this time, my dad said, “Don’t give up!” So I tried my bestagain, then I skipped the pole.And at the competition, I got the bronzemedal.

Chekhov said, "If fate bullies you cruelly, you don't have to beg him formercy, kowtow at him, but look down on it, laugh at it, or it will laugh atyou." This is the topic I want to talk about: "Never give up!"

If you never give up, you can visit the magical land.

If you never give up, you can climb the lofty mountain.

If you never give up, you can roam the vast ocean.

If you never give up, you can support the blue sky.

If you never give up, you can draw a beautiful picture.

I believe that the attitude is the key to success.If someone can nevergive up, it can be said he is half successful, This is why we should never giveup.But as far as I know, only few people are able to do this.It’s really apity.

So how to do that? In my opinion, firstly, we should be confident enough.With the self-confidence, we will get the courage and perseverance to persist.So how to be confident? Just like Jobs said, "Confidence comes from theself-discipline.You should learn how to restrain yourself at first, and followa strict schedule, then you can little by little build your self-confidence fromthe self- discipline.Confidence is the ability to control things.If you can'teven control the time, what else can you say about the self-confidence?

Secondly, stay hungry, stay foolish.That means you should keep an openmind and keep learning, fill your mind with knowledge.We must keep challengingourselves so that we can improve ourselves.Only in this way, when we face thedifficulty, we can be well prepared to fight with it and beat it!

Finally, when we are in trouble, we may also need some help, such as ourparents' support, friends' care and so on, so we can have the power to forgeahead.

In a few words, we must strive to achieve our dreams.In this way, whetherwe succeed or not, we will learn something, and it will help us become a betterone.

At last, remember that, the effort may not make you succeed, but withoutthe effort, there is no chance for you to be successful.Moreover, if we nevergive up, we will get the chance one day and get success.At the time of death,we can say proudly, ”we never give up!”

英语演讲稿:如何减肥

How to Lose Weight

It seems that many people today are overweight. No one wants to carry around extra pounds， lout few people know how to slum down effectively. They look for miracle pills and magic cures.

What makes it work is determination. It requires discipline and commitment to succeed. Here is an example that proves the truth of these words.

My aunt had been trying to lose weight for years. She went on one diet after another， but none of them worked. She lost a lot of weight quickly only to have it come back. Finally， she followed her doctors advice and began to eat a si-mp-le， well-balanced diet. She ate lots of fruits and vegetables and avoided high-fat foods. In addition， she joined an exercise class. She worked out three times a week. At first， my aunt wasnt happy because the weight came off so slowly. But her classmates encouraged her to stick to it and eventually she reached her goal. Best of all， she was able to stay at her ideal weight. That was because she had developed healthy new habits.

哈佛校长的演讲]Good bye and good luck

Today， I speak from this podium a final time as your president. As I depart， I want to thank all of you - students， faculty， alumni and staff - with whom I have been privileged to work over these past years. Some of us have had our disagreements， but I know that which unites us transcends that which pides us.

今天，我将以校长的身份，最后一次在这个讲台上演讲.即将离任前，我要感谢诸位学生、教师、校友和员工，而且非常荣幸在过去的5年里能与你们共事.我们中的一些人意见不尽相同， 但是，我知道，我们的共识远远超越分歧.

Some things look different to me than they did five years ago. The world that today’s Harvard’s graduates are entering is a profoundly different one than the world administrators entered.

在我看来，现在于5年前不同了.今天的哈佛毕业生正在进入的世界和管理人员当年所进入的世界相比已是大相径庭了.

It is a world where opportunities have never been greater for those who know how to teach children to read， or those who know how to distribute financial risk; never greater for those who understand the cell and the pixel; never greater for those who can master， and navigate between， legal codes， faith traditions， computer platforms， political viewpoints.

现今世界，机遇对于这些人来说是空前的：他们知道如何教子女阅读;他们知道如何组合投资;他们懂得【计算机科学】 基本存储单元和像素概念;他们能掌握各种法典、传统信仰、计算机平台、政治观点并在其中游刃有余.

It is also a world where some are left further and further behind - those who are not educated， those trapped in poverty and violence， those for whom equal opportunity is just a hollow phrase.

同时，现今世界，一些人越来越落后于时代.这些人没受过教育、深陷于贫穷和暴-力、平等机遇对他们而言，仅是一句空话.

Scientific and technological advances are enabling us to comprehend the furthest reaches of the cosmos， the most basic constituents of matter， and the miracle of life.

科技进步正在使我们能够探索宇宙的边陲、物质最基本的成分及生命的奇迹.

At the same time， today， the actions， and inaction， of human beings imperil not only life on the planet， but the very life of the planet.

与此同时，今天，人类所做的及没能做到的事情，不仅危害到这个星球上的生命，也危害到该星球的寿命.

Globalization is ma-ki-ng the world smaller， faster and richer. Still， 9/11， avian flu， and Iran remind us that a smaller， faster world is not necessarily a safer world.

全球化正在使地球变得愈来愈孝愈来愈快和愈来愈富有.尽管如此，9/11、禽流感及伊朗提醒我们，更小更快的世界决不意味着其更安全.

Our world is bursting with knowledge - but desperately in need of wisdom. Now， 英语故事演讲稿 when sound bites are getting shorter， when instant messages crowd out essays， and when inpidual lives grow more frenzied， college graduates capable of deep reflection are what our world needs.

我们正处于一个知识爆炸的世界之中，不过，迫切需要智慧.现在，在(新闻采访的)原声摘要播出变得愈来愈短，即时信息淘汰了杂记文，个人生活变得如痴如狂之际，这个世界还是需要能够深思的大学生.

For all these reasons I believed - and I believe even more strongly today - in the unique and irreplaceable mission of universities.

考虑到这些理由，我过去信仰，而今天甚至更加强烈地信仰大学独特的、无可取代的使命.

Universities are where the wisdom we cannot afford to lose is preserved from generation to generation. Among all human institutions， universities can look beyond present norms to future possibilities， can look through current considerations to emergent opportunities.

大学是人类把不可或缺的智慧世代流传的殿堂.就人类所有公共机构而言，仅仅大学，能够超越当前的准则，注意到未来的可能性;能通过目前的判断，注意到突发的机遇.

And among universities， Harvard stands out. With its great tradition， its iconic reputation， its remarkable network of 300，000 alumni， Harvard has never had as much potential as it does now.

哈佛在大学中间，鹤立鸡群.凭其伟大的传统、因袭声誉及其非凡的300000校友网，哈佛的潜力前所未有.

And yet， great and proud institutions， like great and proud nations at their peak， must surmount a very real risk: that the very strength of their traditions will lead to caution， to an inward focus on prerogative and to a complacency that lets the world pathem by.

篇9

home milk delivery has almost gone extinct in china now, also gone with it are the milkmen, who once delivered bottled fresh milk door-to-door. on the other hand, mailman's business or the courier service has thrived as online shopping gains popularity. however, in retrospect, i find something has been lost in this transition, something shakespeare called as “the milk of human kindness”。

英文演讲稿（milkman vs. mailman） with the development of science and technology, change has penetrated into every aspect of our daily life. to illustrate that, i'd like to make a comparison of these two seemingly insignificant things: milkman and mailman, whose differences indicate our changing way of living with the times.

home milk delivery has almost gone extinct in china now, also gone with it are the milkmen, who once delivered bottled fresh milk door-to-door. on the other hand, mailman's business or the courier service has thrived as online shopping gains popularity. however, in retrospect, i find something has been lost in this transition, something shakespeare called as “the milk of human kindness”。

when i was a kid, milk wasn't for sale everywhere. for the families who need it, they depended on the milkmen to take it from the local dairy farms to their houses. in our neighborhood, there was such a milkman, whose arrival was much anticipated by the children and always brought us laughter and joy. he knew the name of every kid and could easily see through our tricks. if we didn't behave, he would side with our parents and threaten to rob us of the nutritious drink. the entire neighborhood was acquainted with him; saw him as a member of the community just like the many residents or street vendors. there was a bond between all of us for it was not only the commodities that been transacted, but also a sense of caring and dependability. and that small box fixed onto our door, other than being a drop-off point for milk; it was a communication junction between the people as we took the initiative to reach out to others.

fast forward to today, milk is ubiquitous with no dedicated delivery system. but the convenience level of our live has gone up a notch. almost everything is for sale online, which spares us all the travelling and talking. with a few ready clicks, shopping is done. the rest is left for those speed delivery companies. usually it's a grumpy mailman, who reaches us through cell phone, urging everyone to pick up their parcels as soon as possible. and the minute the receipt is signed, we rush back to unpack while the courier dashes to the next destination. there is barely a conversation carried out, nor do we feel the need to talk to such a stranger, who changes from time to time frequently. it seems that people are always in a hurry now, though we have more conveniences, still we run short of time to stop and stare, to speak and share.

call me an old-timer, but i think the personal touch represented by the milkman is what has been missing in the modern society. william wordsworth once wrote that “getting and spending, we lay waste our powers.” modern technology may have multiplied our possessions or gave us more conveniences, but we run the risk of reducing our values if we lay waste our power of interpersonal relationships.

女士们、先生们：

It gives me a great pleasure to join you for this important initiative as the UN marks its 70th anniversary.

在联合国纪念成立70周年之际，我很荣幸能够参加这一重要倡议的相关活动。

Education is very close in my heart. My father grew up in a very small village in China. In those days, not many villagers could read. So my father opened a night school to teach them how to read. With his help, many people learned to write their own names; with his help many people learned to read newspapers for the first time; with his help, many women were able to teach their children how to read. As his daughter, I know what education means to the people, especially those without it.

我对教育感念至深。我的父亲生长在中国一个非常小的村庄里。在那些岁月里，许多村民都不识字。因此我的父亲开办了一所夜校帮助他们识字。在他的帮助下， 许多人学会了写自己的名字；在他的帮助下，许多人有生以来第一次读报；在他的帮助下，许多妇女开始有能力教自己的孩子读书写字。作为她的女儿，我知道教育 对一个人来说意味着什么，特别是那些没有文化的人。

After generations of hard work, China has come a long way in education. I myself am a beneficiary of that progress. Otherwise I would never become a soprano and a professor of musical. I am following my father’s footsteps by teaching at China’s Conservatory of Music to help continue China’s success story.

在经过几代人的努力，中国的教育取得了巨大的进步。我自己就是这一进步的受益者。否则，我不会成为一个女高音和一名声乐教授。我在中国音乐学院教书，沿着父亲的足迹，帮助复制中国的成功故事。

I want to thank Director-general Bokova and UNESCO for naming me the Special Envoy for Women and Girls Education. I am truly honored to work with the UN and do something about Global Education. I have visited many schools around the world. I’ve seen first-hand on how much we can do for education.

我要感谢教科文组织任命我为"促进女童和妇女教育特使".我对与联合国一道工作、为了全球教育做些工作感到由衷的荣幸。我访问了世界上的许多学校，我亲眼看到，我们在教育工作上还有很多的事情可以做。

Education is about women and the girls. It is important for girls to go to school because they will become their children’s first teacher someday. But women still account for over half of the world’s poor in population and 60% of adults who can’t read. Education is crucial in the addressing such inequalities.In China, Spring Bud Education Program has helped over 3 million girls go back to school. Many of them have finished university education and they are doing well at work.

教育事关妇女和女童。女童入学非常重要，因为她们有一天会成为自己孩子的第一位老师。然而，妇女依然占世界贫穷人口的一半，她们中有六成成年人不识字。 教育是解决此类不平等的关键。在中国，"春蕾计划"已经帮助300万女童重返校园。许多人读完了大学，并在工作岗位上表现出色。

Education is about equality. In poor countries and regions the number of school dropouts is astonishing. We call for more educational resources to these places.

教育事关平等。在贫穷国家和地区，辍学儿童的人数高得惊人。我们呼吁将更多的教育资源投入这些地方。

Education is about the young people. Young people are the future. Education is important because it not only gave young people knowledge and skills but also help them become responsible citizens.

教育事关年轻人。年轻人是我们的未来。教育之所以重要是因为它不仅给年轻人带来知识，还帮助他们成为负责任的公民。

As the UNESCO special envoy and the mother myself my commitment to education for all will never change. Many years ago my father made a small difference in his village. Together we can make a big difference in the world.
