优秀英语短文演讲稿范文一：
Ladies and gentlemen, this is Joe Biden, I'm filling in for President Obama, while he addresses the NATO summit in Wales.
When the President and I took office in January of 2009, this nation was in the midst of the greatest economic crisis since the great depression. Our economy had plummeted1 at a rate of 8% in a single quarter-part of the fastest economic decline any time in the last half century. Millions of families were falling underwater on their homes and threatened with foreclosure. The iconic American automobile2 industry was under siege.
But yesterday's jobs report was another reminder3 of how far we've come. We've had 54 straight months of job creation. And that's the longest streak4 of uninterrupted job growth in the United States' history.
We've gone from losing 9 million jobs during the financial crisis to creating 10 million jobs. We've reduced the unemployment rate from 10% in October of 2009 to 6.1% today. And for the first time since the 1990s, American manufacturing is steadily5 adding jobs-over 700,000 since 2010. And surveys of both American and foreign business leaders confirm that America once again is viewed as the best place in the world to build and invest.
That's all good news.
But an awful lot of middle class Americans are still not feeling the effects of this recovery. Since the year 2000, Gross Domestic Product-our GDP - has risen by 25%. And productivity in America is up by 30%. But middle class wages during that same time period have gone up by only fourteen cents.
Folks, it's long past time to cut the middle class back into the deal, so they can benefit from the economic growth they helped create. Folks, there used to be a bargain in this country supported by Democrats6 and Republicans, business and labor7. The bargain was simple. If an employee contributed to the growth and profitability of the company, they got to share in the profits and the benefits as well. That's what built the middle class. It's time to restore the bargain, to deal the middle class back in. Because, folks, when the middle class does well, everybody does well-the wealthy get wealthier and the poor have a way up.
You know, the middle class is not a number. It's a value set. It means being able to own your home; raise your children in a safe neighborhood; send them to a good school where if they do well they can qualify to go to college and if they get accepted you'd be able to find a way to be able to send them to college. And in the meantime, if your parents need help, being able to take care of them, and hope to put aside enough money so that your children will not have to take care of you.
That's the American dream. That's what this country was built on. And that's what we're determined8 to restore.
In order to do that, it's time to have a fair tax structure, one that values paychecks as much as unearned income and inherited wealth, to take some of the burden off of the middle class. It's time to close tax loopholes so we can reduce the deficit9, and invest in rebuilding America - our bridges, our ports, our highways, rails, providing good jobs.
With corporate10 profits at near record highs, we should encourage corporations to invest more in research and development and the salaries of their employees. It's time for us to invest in educational opportunity to guarantee that we have the most highly skilled workforce11 in the world, for 6 out of every 10 jobs in the near term is going to require some education beyond high school. Folks, it's long past due to increase the minimum wage that will lift millions of hardworking families out of poverty target poverty and in the process produce a ripple12 effect that boosts wages for the middle class and spurs economic growth for the United States of America. Economists13 acknowledge that if we do these and other things, wages will go up and we'll increase the Gross Domestic Product of the United States.
My fellow Americans, we know how to do this. We've done it before. It's the way we used to do business and we can do it that way again. All the middle class in this country want is a chance. No guarantee, just a chance.
Americans want to work. And when given a fair shot, the American worker has never, ever, ever, let his country down. Folks, it's never a good bet to bet against the American people.
Thanks for listening.

各位我最亲爱的朋友们;
大家好!很荣幸大家能给我站在这个舞台的机会，也很高兴在这里认识了这么多朋友，并且一起学习英语，我的名字叫谌亚芸，来自湖南，我是个爱好唱歌，喜欢看书，对梦想执着的女孩。
其实因为以前对英语的热爱程度并不强烈，从而让我养成了学与不学的惰性思想，但是现在让我知道一个21世纪的人如果还不懂英语的话那么他将是时代的落后者，社会在发展、时代在进步、我们不能被这个时代所淘汰，这次既然选择了学习英语，那么我一定要坚持不懈、学有所成。虽然我的英语基础很差，脑子也不太灵活，但我骨子里要强不服输的性格纵使着我不能轻易放弃，只要我肯努力、肯付出、肯坚持，那么我相信一定会有奇迹的发生。
其实有时候夹在上班与学习之间让我身心真的很累很疲惫，从而产生放弃的念头，但脑子里又有个声音说;如果你现在放弃的话，那么你将是永远的弱者，然后鼓励自己，放弃不是我的信念，在我的人生字典里也没有这两个字，不到黄河心不死，我一定要挺注去克服所有的困难，别人能，我也能!我最喜欢的一句话;不怕会失败，就怕起不来!没有谁能打败我们的信念，除了我们自己，所以、朋友们，让我们一起加油拿出我们年轻人的激情去挑战英语，对自己充满信心，相信我们可以，就一定可以!

Each year, on Mother Earth Day, we reflect on our relationship with the planet that supports us. The air we breathe, the water we drink and the soil that grows our food are part of a delicate global ecosystem that is increasingly under pressure from human activities. From tropical deforestation to depleted ocean fisheries, from growing freshwater shortages to the rapid decline of biodiversity and increasingly polluted skies and seas in many parts of the world, we see the heavy hand of humankind.
As our population grows we have to recognize that our consumption of the planet's resources is unsustainable. We need a global transformation of attitude and practice. It is especially urgent to address how we generate the energy that drives our progress. Burning fossil fuels is the principal cause of climate change, which increasingly threatens prosperity and stability in all regions. That is why world leaders have pledged to reach a global legal climate agreement in 2015.
Action on climate change presents multiple opportunities to reset our relationship with Mother Earth and improve human well-being, especially for the poorest and most vulnerable. Sustainable energy for all can increase health, wealth and opportunity for billions of people, as can climate-smart agriculture, more efficient cities and better managed and protected forests.
To generate ambitious action on the ground and raise momentum for a new climate treaty in 2015, I am convening a Climate Summit in New York on 23 September this year. I am inviting Heads of State and Government along with private sector and civil society leaders to showcase initiatives(主动权) and forge alliances that can help launch a sustainable future. But they need support and encouragement, for change is never easy. So today, on International Mother Earth Day, I appeal to all people everywhere to raise their voices. Speak out on behalf of this planet, our only home. Let us care for Mother Earth so she can continue to care for us as she has done for millennia.
