last over a week! Everyone flocks to Xiangshan in the spring to look at the blooming flowers only to see the backs of other people’s heads. Too often people are sheep refusing to separate from the flock. They become nervous and uneasy when they step out of line. However, isn’t this sometimes necessary Why do we not buy a cheaper home in a smaller town Why do we not use public transportation instead of worrying about a car Why do we not go see Sakura blossoms in Wuhan instead of the Fragrant Hills The pressure to travel with others is strong for it is always easier to go with the flow. We must learn to love the lonely path, not fear it. Not always is the popular path a safe one. There are always options. The road less traveled can be fun. Learning Spanish changes you. You become more colorful, more noisy, more gossipy, more outrageous, more daring. It is like having a personality I encourage people around me to take risks, not unlike entering an English Speaking competition as a Spanish Major. Even though I have chosen the less travelled road to learn Spanish, I am not restricted from detouring into English as I have today. I don’t dream about the
road I didn’t take that so many of my friends did. We are lucky to have so many paths in front of us, but there is no single correct path for all of us. We must find our own way. Luckily my path is clear, Spanish is calling. Hasta la vista. 篇三:21世纪英语演讲稿 目录

the sea. an english poet by the name of rudyard kipling once wrote in his poem we
and they: all the people like us are we and everyone else is theywe live over the sea
while they live over the waywe eat pork and beef with cowhorn-handled knives they who gobble their rice off a leafare horrified out of their lives. when these lines first caught my eyes, i was shocked-how could two peoples remain
so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past todays society, of course, is
an entirely different picture. those people who used to eat with cowhorn-handled
knives might be very skillful in using chopsticks, and those people who used to gobble
their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips. indeed, just take china as an example: our modern life has been influenced by
western style of living in so many ways that its no longer surprising to see teenagers
going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at mcdonalds and even
rather elderly people dressed in apple jeans. however, these are only some expressions of the cultural changes taking place
in our society today. what is really going on is
