演講稿是一種實用性比較強的文稿，是爲演講準備的書面材料。在日新月異的現代社會中，演講稿與我們的生活息息相關，那麼，怎麼去寫演講稿呢？下面是小編幫大家整理的英語小故事演講稿，歡迎閱讀，希望大家能夠喜歡。
ladies and gentlemen:
Good afternoon,
Today I would like to begin with a story. There was once a physical therapist who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a census about mountain gorillas. These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world; this put them severely under threat of poaching and being put into the zoo. She went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures. She witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we've ever been, where in the very depth of the African rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas cuddled their babies.
Yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called Gorillas in the Mist, based on a true story of Mrs. Diana Fossey, who spent most of her lifetime in Rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.
To me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our eco-environment.
This kind of feeling that I have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it , it's all coming from a scene to be remembered, a scene to recall and to cherish.
Today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems. On the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go. It has become a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in GDP growth. It has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity. But on the other hand, many problems can occur - natural scenes aren't natural anymore. Deforestation to heat lodges are devastating Nepal. Oil spills from tourist boats are polluting Antarctica. Tribal people are forsaking their native music and dress to listen to U2 on Walkman and wear Nike and Reeboks.
All these appalling facts have brought us to the realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been eroding our resources. Encouragingly, the explosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the United Nations has made 20xx the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the world's attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our ecoenvironment.
幾年前，我住在一個小鎮的一幢建築物中。對面有另一幢建築物，離我住的地方只有幾米遠。那裏住着一個我以前從未見過的女人。每天下午我都能見到她坐在窗戶邊，喝茶或者看書。
幾個月後，我發現她的窗戶太髒了，通過她家窗戶看到的一切都很模糊。我不知道那個女人爲什麼不把窗戶洗洗。
一個陽光燦爛的上午，我決定徹底清理一下我的公寓，包括清洗窗戶。我一直忙到下午很遲才完成，然後，我坐在窗邊小憩。多麼令人驚訝啊！那個坐在窗戶邊的女人一下子變得清晰了！她的窗戶是乾淨的！突然，我意識到我犯了一個錯誤。原來我一直在通過自家的髒窗戶看她！
那對我來說是一個很重要的教訓。從那以後，無論我什麼時候想要判斷一個人，我首先問問自己，“我看他時，我心靈之窗是否骯髒？”然後，我努力洗淨我內心世界的窗戶，只有這樣我才能看清外面的'世界。
匆匆吃完早飯後，我大步流星地走進了演講大廳。一位著名的教師正在對學生們講話。他手舉一張一百美元的鈔票，對三百個學生說，“誰想要這張一百元的鈔票？”學生們立即舉手。接着他說，“我會把這張一百元的鈔票給你們其中的一位，但首先我要做件事。”他將鈔票捏成一團，問，“現在誰還想要？”所有的手又舉了起來。然後他說，“那麼，如果我這樣做呢？”他將鈔票扔在地上，並在上面踩了幾腳。他撿起髒兮兮的鈔票，問，“仍然有人要嗎？”所有的手又舉向了空中。
“朋友們，”他說，“今天你們學到了很有價值的一課。無論我對這一百元鈔票做了什麼，你們仍然要它，因爲它並沒有貶值，它仍然值一百美元。生活中，不止一次，我們會被扔，甚至被踩，這時我們會感到自己毫無價值。但是請你記住，無論什麼發生在你身上，你永遠不會失去你的價值。對於那些愛你的人來說，你一直是有價值的。你的價值並非來自你是做什麼的或者你認識誰，而是來自你是誰。你是特別的、有價值的，永遠不要忘記這一點！”
You may wonder if I believe in afterlife. My answer is: I know nothing about my previous life, so I dare not make improper comments on afterlife. But I do hope there's afterlife! Because our present life is so short that so many things slip away before our proper understanding. I have so many dreams, so many wishes, so many ambitions, as well as so many regrets and concerns. If there were no afterlife, all of them will remain unrealized!
I'm not contented with the present commonplace life, I'm very much attached to the affections that should have been mine but have been washed away by the hurrying time, and I yearn for the perfection and maturity if I could start all over again. So believe it or not, I'd rather there were afterlife.
