感恩節(jié)英語演講稿 [篇2]
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, honorable judges and distinguished guest! This is Alex time! My topic today is to show our gratitude（感恩）to people around you.
Then what is gratitude? At the moment a well-known song comes into my mind. Yes, that is called Heart of feel grateful. My heart is filled up with gratitude because I’m with you/Your make me courageous to be myself from cradle to the grave/So now I wanna thank for destiny/I’ll cherish the flower when it blooms until falls. The poetic lyric tells us that gratitude is actually a state of mind.
Once upon a time, the Pilgrims(朝圣者們) took the May Flower Ship to North America. They started a new life there although a lot of difficulties and hardships they encountered. After a long-time work, they got a big harvest. The Pilgrims had a feast (宴會(huì))in 1621 near Plymouth, Massachusetts, which is often referred to as the first Thanksgiving. People show their sincere gratitude towards the God, the nature, the earth, the river, the Indians and themselves. Moreover the 1621 feast has become a model for the Thanksgiving celebration in the United States. So we can see gratitude is an action to take.
How can we express our gratitude? It’s never a si-mp-le question to answer. Gratitude is a rare jewel, not a piece of cake, I know. But how can we expect such big events happening now and then? How can we be ready to say thank you ahead of time? How can we always hope to be grateful to everything and everyone for their dignity and generosity? Sometimes I may ask to myself. Is it moral? Is it honest? Is it beneficial? Is it necessary? Or the most interesting one, is it ridiculous? Ha-ha…So in my opinion, we’d better concentrate on our life’s details. Keep your eyes open to your daily life. Yes! A shining smile is supposed to be gratitude. A thank-you note is supposed to be gratitude. A soulful watch is supposed to be gratitude. As far as a baby’s crying on his arrival is supposed to be gratitude. And even fallen leaves in autumn are supposed to be gratitude. So the person, who stands here giving you a speech, is also showing HIS gratitude.
At last, what’s the significance of showing our gratitude? A proverb says that Gratitude is the sign of noble souls. Wow! Until now I am not that kind of giant, but I dare to say that everyone, you and me, has the right and the duty to show our gratitude to the world, no matter rich or poor, happy or sad, young or old. Only by doing so can we achieve our human ultimate concern. Meanwhile it obviously helps to build up a harmonious society. Under the same sky we enjoy the same sunshine and appreciate the same love due to thanking and caring each other. Well, does it Plato’s paradise?
All in all, a world full of gratitude is preciously expected for thousands of years. Why not show our gratitude to people around you?
Thank you very much!
感恩節(jié)英語演講稿 [篇3]
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen I’m glad to attend this speech contest. Now I would like to share something about thanksgiving with you.
Do you know Thanksgiving Day just passed a few days ago? It has a long history. Once upon a time , the Pilgrims took the May Flower Ship to North America. They started a new life there although they have encountered a lot of difficulties and hardships. After a long time work, they got a big harvest. The Pilgrims had a feast near Plymouth, which is often referred to as the first Thanksgiving Day. It seems as if it is the day to celebrate. But nowadays it’s a day that gives us a chance to thanks for the people who have helped us in our lives. It is known to us all that no one could be happy or successful without the help of others. Though our country doesn’t have Thanksgiving Day, we should be grateful all the time.
But as high school students, how can we express our gratitude? It’s never a si-mp-le question to answer. But for my part, you should feel grateful when you taste the delicious food your mother prepares for you. Moreover, on teacher’s day, you ought to show your gratitude to your teacher from the bottom of your heart. Besides, let me tell you a story. There is a girl who has a kind grandma. Her grandma never blame on
her for all the things she did wrong and was willing to care about her all the time. But she never said thank you to her grandma. One day her grandma passed away. Since then, the girl has been missing her grandma so much and regretting what she has done to her grandma, but her grandma will never come back. As same as what you think, I am that girl. The death of my grandma is a pity of my whole life, from then on, I realized how important that gratitude is. Gratitude makes you find out how much love you have got from others. And if you focus on your daily life, you will find that gratitude is everywhere. Such as a thank you note, a shining smile, and even a greeting. Likewise, the person, who stand here giving you a speech, is also showing her gratitude.
In addition, what’s the significance of showing our gratitude? There is a proverb that says: gratitude is the sign of noble souls. Wow! Until now I’m not that kind of giant, but I dare to say that everyone, no matter rich or poor, happy or sad, young or old, has the right and the duty to show his gratitude to the world. On the other hand, gratitude contributes to building up a harmonious society. Under the same sky we enjoy the same sunshine and appreciate the same love. So why not show our gratitude to the people around us?
That’s all, thank you for your listening.
