元旦的英语演讲稿【1】
Good afternoon, dear teachers and friends!
I' m happy to make a speech here. Thank you for your coming. Now, the topic for my speech today is “Western Festivals.” I would like to talk about Christmas.
Christmas is originally a Christian festival, as you can see from the formation of this word, “Christ-mas.” The first part of the word refers to Jesus Christ, and the second part “mas” comes from the word “mass,” referring to a main religious ceremony in some Christian churches.
At first, it was celebrated for the birth of Jesus Christ. Nowadays, although some churches still observe this festival for its religious reason, for most people, including Chinese people, Christmas has already become a day of secular celebrations, when people exchange greetings and gifts. However, it is still a biggest festival in the West. It is as important to the Westerners as the Spring Festival is to the Chinese people.
Christmas day is on the 25th of December, and Christmas Eve is of course the evening of the previous day, the 24th December.
Christmas holiday usually lasts for two weeks, during which most schools have a Christmas break. Many families put the Christmas tree in their house, and hang many decorations on the tree. Under the tree, they usually place many Christmas presents. Giving out presents and receiving presents are what kids like best about this festival.
On Christmas Eve, kids would put stockings at the end of their bed, wishing the Santa Claus would come and give them presents.
As to the tradition of giving and receiving presents in Christmas, I think it has something to do with the nativity story.
In the nativity story, on the birthday of baby Jesus, there was a bright star shining in the East. There were three kings in the East who saw the star, and they followed the star all the way to Bethlehem where the star stopped. They came to a manger where baby Jesus was lying. They worshiped the little baby and gave him presents. I think this is a beautiful story. It shows a spirit of sharing and love.
I like Christmas for the presents kids will receive and for its lovely story.
Thank you very much!

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Today I would like to talk about current environment situations which you can see all over the world. While we are pursuing better ways of lives, more problems we are also making.
Sometimes we only notice a unilateral aspect of the matter while ignoring its various functions. This kind of negligence, however, may cause serious problems that could be devastating.
It is said that one false move may lose the game. This is proved in our daily life obviously. As the economy is growing rapidly day after day, manufacturers are looking for more opportunities to gain numerous profit. To earn more money, one way is to decrease the cost of the products.
They move their factories to developing countries which can not only benefit them much more profit than before, but also those countries welcome them since they can help increase the countries’ GDP.
While it seems we can gain a lot from building factories to produce products, the shortcomings of these buildings are becoming obvious. Though at the beginning, those developing countries did gain a lot of profit.
As time passes, people living surround the factories deposit industrial waste into the river which directly leads to the influence of human’s lives. Fish died, birds disappeared, people moved, and we couldn’t imagine what would come next.
These industries also use lots of resources to carry on their production. Large amounts of carbon dioxide are discharged, we all know the consequence of that, global warming—as one of the most essential environmental problems in the world, is becoming more and more serious currently. That the local government ignored was that these factories damaged their environment without any punishment but reception! They didn’t notice the negative aspect on this investment. What a pity!
In summary, nowadays, businessmen are destroying our motherland—earth for themselves. What should we do in this situation? Ignore them or try to take some actions on it? I believe all of us will choose the latter, right? So just do it, nothing is impossible.
That’s all. Thank you.
