希望之星英语大赛大学组2号选手成林：演讲稿

　　三、比赛演讲稿

　　Challenges make my world colorful

　　Good morning, ladies and gentleman. Can you guess how old I am? I’m thirty years old now and probably the oldest contestant to participate in this glorious English competition. But half a month ago when I got the information that I could take part in the final competition, my friends and relatives advised me not to come. One of their two strong reasons is that the contest is for the young, and I’m already thirty; the other is that I will possibly meet my students on the same stage. If I failed, I would feel ashamed. I only smiled to them kindly. They couldn’t understand me; not knowing that I was trying to win an enormous challenge for this challenge and myself could add brilliant color to my passionate world.

　　In fact, life is full of various challenges when one is born into this world. I remember when I was a junior middle school student; I always stumbled over my words when I answered my English teacher’s questions. That nearly made me loses my confidence in learning English. As a teacher now, it is not easy to establish a good relationship with all my students and make every class lively, interesting and productive. At home, to be a capable and considerate husband is a great challenge, too. But a different challenge provides me with a different experience--a different color that I cherished dearly.

　　Life is a colorful journey to me, full of different challenges. Only with a clear goal, a strong will, great courage and extensive knowledge, can I put the challenges under my feet. I have tasted the sweetness of success. I have tasted the bitterness of failure; but failure is the mother of success and makes my life more colorful. So my dear friends enjoy challenges; enjoy life.

　　挑战使我的世界绚烂多彩

　　女士们、先生们：

　　早上好！您能猜出我的年龄吗？我现在已年满三十，很可能是参加这次辉煌的英语竞赛中年龄最大的一位。但就在半个月前，当我得知我能参加这场决赛的消息时，我的亲朋好友却建议我不来参加这场比赛。其有力的两个原因之一是这种竞赛是为年青人所举办的而我已年满三十；其二是在同台竞技时，我有可能碰到我的学生，如若失败，会觉得很没面子。我只是向他们示以友好的微笑。他们不理解我，不知道我正为自己努力获取一个巨大的挑战，而这挑战能给我那激情荡漾的世界增添灿烂的色彩。

　　事实上，人来到这个世界上，生活就充满了各种挑战。曾记得当我还是一个初中生时，我回答英语老师的提问老是出错，那差不多让我失去了学习英语的信心。现在我成为一名教师，和所有的学生建立良好的师生关系，并使每一节课都生动、有趣，且富有成效并不是轻而易举的事情。在家里，要成为一个能干、体贴的丈夫同样也是一种挑战。但不同的挑战，给予了我不同的人生体验—— 一种我极为珍视的人生色彩。

　　人生对于我来说是一段多彩的旅程，充满了各种挑战，只有当我拥有了明确的目标，坚强的毅志，极大的勇气和广博的知识，我才能把各种挑战踩在脚下。我已品尝过成功的甘甜；我已品尝过失败的苦楚。但失败乃成功之母，它使我的人生更为绚烂多彩。亲爱的朋友们，享受挑战，享受生活吧！
