2分钟英语演讲稿

Dear audience and judges,

My topic is "Can money buy happiness".

As we all know, money can buy all the goods in our life, no matter how huge it is. A spaceship, for example, if you really feel your bank account can afford it.

However, when it comes to love, satisfaction, happiness and many other human feelings, it is completely not like this. The result of many recent research can support my point. They said that, though people received far more money than ever, their standard for happiness also rised. That means, if you had one yuan, a car might be your dream, but if you had one million, you might consider owning a space trip. So when people always hope for those they can not afford, they will push themselves to an unhappy situation.

Anyhow, money equal wealthy in life but not happiness in mind. Only by changing our attitude to money and enjoying every day, can we obtain a truely happy future!

Life is What We Make It

Are you dissatisfied with today's success? It is the harvest from yesterday's sowing. Do you dream of a golden morrow? You will reap what you are sowing today. We get out of life just what we put into it.

Nature takes on our moods: she laughs with those who laugh and weeps with those who weep. If we rejoice and are glad the very birds sing more sweetly, the woods and streams murmur our song. But if we are sad and sorrowful a sudden gloom falls upon Nature's face; the sun shines, but not in our hearts, the birds sing, but not to us.

The future will be just what we make it. Our purpose will give it its character. One's resolution is one's prophecy. Leave all your discouraging pessimism behind. Do not prophesy evil, but good. Men of hope come to the front.

人生自创论

你对今日的成就满意吗？它是昨日播种的收获。你是否梦想着一个光辉灿烂的明天？你只能收获你今天所播种的成果。我们从生活中所得到的，正是先前我们所付出的。

大自然反映我们的心情：她随着人们欢笑而欢笑，随着人们哭泣而哭泣。若是我们心情欢欣快乐，鸟儿的歌声就会更加美妙悦耳，连树林和溪流也会轻声低柔地唱着我们的歌。但是，如果我们心情忧伤，突如其来的幽暗就会笼罩自然界的脸庞；遍地阳光，却没有照映在我们心上，鸟儿依旧鸣叫，却不再是对这我们欢唱。

未来是靠我们去创造。我们的意志决定未来的性质。一个人的决心就是他的预言。将一切令人沮丧的悲观抛在脑后。不要预言不幸，但是可以预言幸运— 满怀希望的人自会出人头地。

Blue Planet

We all have a common home. She provides us with enough food, enough water and enough living room. We get everything from the nature to live better, but we donnot do anything to protect her. How the air is polluted; the earth is poisoned; water is unsafe to drink and rubbish is burying the civilization that man owns.

Our environment is being polluted faster than nature and man's present efforts can prevent. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry. So many trees will be cut down, and more large cities will be set up. Lots of waste material, in return, is produced and harms the environment. So some experts declare that the balance of nature is being upset, so that the very survival of man is in danger.

How can we solve this problem? The answer is that we must control the speed of growing people, forbid everyone to cut down trees and pour waste water into rivers and so on.

If we achieve this, the environment will turn very clean, and our future will be full of happiness.
