英文课前两分钟演讲小故事（通用6篇）
every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. my friends will listen to me when i want to speak, will wipe my eyes when i cry, will take care of me when i am sick, and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.
as students, we could share more time with our friends. the friendship in our young hearts is pure, fresh and simple. i often feel very lucky to have a lot of good friends. especially when i had justin as one of my best friends. justin was my english teacher from the usa. i met him in 1996 when i was a student who could only speak very little english. justin was a vivid young man with a bright smile on his face, and he always had his special way to make the class active and attractive. he taught us english by telling stories, playing games, singing songs, and even dancing.
i could still remember very clearly that one afternoon when we fin-ished our class, we went to some other classes to sing songs for them, just like what people do in the states on christmas eve. it was so interesting and unforgettable. justin was an excellent teacher, because he taught us not only how to study english well, but also the way to find out the beauty of the world and the way to be angels to others' lives. i know there was friendship and pure love in our hearts. facing this valuable emotion neither nationality nor age was important, the real importance lay in faith, under-standing, and care. justin is the best friend i have ever had, and i know i will cherish those days of staying together with him as the best part of my memory.
friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives. it is actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the sweeter it will be. it is also like a cup of tea. when we are thirsty, it will be our best choice, but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves, it is also the most fragrant drink.
夏夜，仰望天空，群星格外璀璨，老人说：这是人间正气与英魂的浓缩，人世的英雄史诗正如这星光铺就的星河，浩瀚无际，源远流长。
当朝升日落，星移斗转的那一分，试想英雄何属?当沧海桑田，宇宙大化的那一刻，试问谁主浮沉?而当草长莺飞，花明柳暗的那瞬间力量的爆发，使人不禁感叹：生命力何其汪洋!就是这种感觉，也是我们对英雄的感觉，虽沉萌于心，却心怀感动。
每个人每个民族每个国家都有自己的英雄情结，可又该如何去诠释“英雄”二字?这情结源于对宇宙隐性的反抗，也就是这种萌动，使得原本渺小的身躯却以伟岸的精神实体屹立。
悠悠中华，自然有本民族特色，反映本民族精神面貌和生产方式特色的英雄。中华民族的英雄如春天的鲜花般开满了历史。这对历史来说，是一种点缀，一种原生力;对中华民族来说，更是一种进步的资本。
盘古开天，女娲造人，神农尝草，仓颉造字，古帝凤阁——创造英雄多半是历史的前沿者，这就是他们的魅力。
老子论道，道德千古;庄子化蝶，自在逍遥;孔子论语，万代师表;孙子兵法，不战而胜……这是中华贤哲的思想启蒙，中华文化的历史源头。
太公垂钓，数载平九州;卧龙八卦，一羽定乾坤——这是智慧英雄的代表，他们是有形实体和无穷智力的结合体。
秦始皇，辟疆土;汉高祖，唱《大风》;唐太宗，匡太平——创业难，守业更难!中华一统，历史潮流;仁政爱民，永葆社稷!
武穆精宗，饮血胡虏;则徐虎胆，销烟海滩;存瑞壮志，义堵乾坤;少云赤血，烈火金刚——赞美二词不足已评价你们，你们是中华民族的脊梁啊!
昭君出塞，民族融合;木兰戎马，替父报国;一曼抗日，遗书教子;胡兰就义，凯歌自由——悠悠赤血，大气凛冽，巾帼何许让须眉?
屈子求索，忧国忧民;太白遗风，万象胸襟;子美诗史，悲天悯人;商隐幽涩，光怪陆离;苏子赤壁，大江东去……诗歌的国度有这样的一群才子，他们或忧患，或豪气，或悲悯，均感天动地。5020xx年文明江山，分外妖娆!
少数民族中亦英杰辈出，如胡服骑射的赵武灵王，弯弓射雕的成吉思汗以及格萨尔、江格尔、玛纳斯……他们同样是中华民族英雄，历史不会忘记他们。
而今的英雄是人民的英雄，他们从星火燎原，到万里长征，从转战南北，到抗美援朝……他们是全民族利益的代表者，为人民抛头颅，洒热血，不求闻达，埋骨青山，无须马革裹尸还。在他们的精神感召下，勤劳的中华人民一定能实现中华民族的伟大复兴。
中华民族的英雄，英雄的中华民族。我心中的英雄何止百个千个呢?他们既是一个个生动的个体，又是一个强大的整体。他们心里流淌着炎黄的血，为民族大业而生，而灭，如此轮回，凝聚成一个中华民族精神的共同体。他们不是被定格在某一时空的画面，而是感染着一个时代乃至万世万代的民族战士。他们有血有肉，有悲有喜，有苦有乐，他们的出现，往往在历史长河中激起一连串的涟漪，让历史震撼，让历史感动，让民族振奋。在他们面前，如果是尘埃，就会被扫除，如果是黑暗，就会被消灭。他们握着民族发展的脉搏，以英雄的豪迈气概，推动着历史潮流滚滚向前。
这就是我们的中华英雄，在生与死中得到永生的民族魂!
as we know, we would feel lonely if we didn't even have a friend. but it doesn't mean we could depend on our friends all the time. there is a famous motto saying that “a friend is like a quilt with cotton wadding, but the real thing that keeps you warm is your own temperature.” it is really true. we have to work hard together with our friends, encourage each other and help each other. when we receive love and friendship, we should repay as much as we can.
finally, let's pray together now that one day, all of us could find the person we want to find, and could enjoy a real beautiful friendship in our lives. let's pray the flower of friendship be-tween our friends and us would always bloom brightly in our hearts.
however, in this fast-developing modern society, the reality is not that. more and more people forget to enjoy the beauty of life and -the beauty of friendship. they work hard in order to gain a higher position, in the society and to earn more money for their work. of course, we don't deny that it is important to find a bet-ter place in our lives, but we wish more and more people could pay a little more attention to themselves and their friends. all of us have to spare some time for personal lives. we have to find the chance to express our emotion and love. when staying with our friends, we can release ourselves completely. we can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry to-gether. i should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives.

跌跌撞撞地走过懵懵懂懂的成长道路，频频繁繁地遇到过许许多多的老师，他们都不一样，可都笑过，但唯有那次绽放，是我等待已久最美的绽放。
——题记
那个微笑，那次绽放，给了我力量，给了我重获生命般的喜悦与温暖。
只要有风吹过的地方，她的卷发便会舞起，飘起：只要有不顺心的事，她便会像个小孩子般又气又闹;只要有她在，幸福永远常在。
只记得她刚接班时，我们还是五年级的孩子，她在我们的眼里是陌生而难以亲近的，因为她不爱笑，大家也便很期待她起来的样子。可是日复一日，她依然板着脸，同学们都暗地里讨论她。有的说：“吝啬什么也不要吝啬微笑，输什么也不要输给微笑!”有的说：“柯老师长得也还不错，可就是浪费了笑!”而那时，一个念头像一只飞燕悄然掠过我平静的心海——如果老师能对我笑一次该有多好!
希望总在清晓。可一个个早晨总带着我的激情，缠着蒙蒙白雾，与红红夕阳交班，那笑却总不出现。
一个偶然的机会，我们遇上了期中考。哈哈，这下，我得好好考，说不定，我的愿望就达成了呢!
可是卷子一发，一个醒目的数字令我心痛——这下好了，笑不但不会有，反而心更痛了。这个数字像一匹罪恶的马，狠狠地踏过我的心，来回踏，蹴起如云的尘灰;又像一条鞭绳，狠狠地抽我的心，反复抽，掀起如霞的血肉!
泪流下来了，也顾不上去拭;书，掉在地上，也不想去拾。任由它们去吧，反正一切也比不上这痛!
天似乎黑了，却又突然亮了——一只温暖的大手放在我肩上，我抬起头，是她，是她，我的老师!她用纤细的手拭去我的泪，擦擦我的脸，她竟然笑了!平日里的厉声斥呵，今日怎成了柔声细语?——“哭吧，哭出来会好受点，人的一生哪能一帆风顺，唯有挫折能让我们长大;唯有风雨的洗礼能让我们变得更坚强。失败不要气馁，也只有失败才能在生命中开出成功的鲜花!答应老师把失败当成辅助你成功的垫脚石!不哭了，下次争取考好吧!”我点点头，擦去泪水，模模糊糊里看见老师亲切和蔼的笑。这笑，融化了我冻结的心泉，化解了我的忧愁。
一句激励的话，一个关切的笑，温暖了弱小的心，这就是我的老师。仿佛一盏指明灯，为我们指明前进的道路，用微笑，把温暖、快乐传递给她的学生;又把幸福恒久的回忆留给她的学生!
何为潇洒?辞典上解释说，“潇洒”指的是神情、举止、风度和外表自然大方，有韵致，不拘束。我想这是指潇洒的外在表现而言。要真正的做到潇洒，还要有赖于内心世界的充实，有赖于对自己人生的自信，是人生的一种境界。
张海迪是潇洒的。5岁时她患了脊髓病，胸以下全部瘫痪。从那时起，张海迪开始了她独到的人生。她无法上学，便在在家自学完中学课程。15岁时，海迪跟随父母，下放山东聊城农村，给孩子当起教书先生。她还自学针灸医术，为乡亲们无偿治疗。后来，张海迪自学多门外语，还当过无线电修理工。在残酷的命运面前，张海迪没有沮丧和沉沦，而是向命运挑战，以顽强的毅力和恒心与疾病做斗争，经受了严峻的考验，对人生充满了信心，成了一名有益于社会的杰出青年。海迪是不屈的，海迪是美丽的，海迪更是潇洒的。海迪的潇洒源于服务社会的人生信念。
李白是潇洒的。他自信“天生我材必有用”，“我辈岂是蓬蒿人”，后来他因诗名被皇帝召进宫中，但他并没有得到朝廷的重用。长安三年，他不过是个为统治者“歌舞升平”、“浅吟低唱”的御用文人。他那“大济苍生”的理想成为泡影，满腹经纶根本无从发挥。能侍侯在皇帝左右，得到皇帝的恩宠，拥有功名利禄，这是许多人梦寐以求的，可是李白却不屑一顾，他毅然拂袖而去，大吼一声：“安能摧眉折腰事权贵，使我不得开心颜!”他宁为玉碎，不为瓦全，以他的正直、傲岸成就了那豪放、脱俗、飘逸的浪漫主义诗歌。李白的潇洒源于淡泊名利的自由精神。
苏武是潇洒的。他手持汉节，出使匈奴，被匈奴扣押，历经艰难坎坷。面对突发事变，他镇定自若、机智勇敢，誓死捍卫汉朝尊严。面对匈奴的逼降，他不卑不亢、不屈不挠，忠贞不渝。面对漫长的流放生活，他目睹孤月归雁、塞草狼烟，耳听凄凄寒风、咩咩羊鸣;他餐风露宿、盖草枕石;他衣衫褴褛，鬓发苍白，但手中的汉节却稳如泰山，岿然不动。在十九年的流亡生涯中，在重重困难面前，他总是勇敢应对，从不退缩，体现了“富贵不能淫，贫贱不能移，威武不能屈。”的大丈夫气概。苏武的潇洒源于坚定不移的民族气节。
布鲁诺是潇洒的。他坚持哥白尼的日心说，因此被罗马教廷控告为异端，于是他不得不离开家乡，开始一次又一次的流亡生涯。在这期间，他的足迹几乎踏遍整个欧洲，他用自己的博学、热情，滔滔不绝的口才，尖刻的讽刺，大胆的思想，天才的预断传播着科学的真理，并逐步形成了关于宇宙的理论。最终他被关进了监狱，接着被施以火刑。当他被火焰和浓烟包围时，口中突出的是这样一句话：“火并不能把我征服，未来世纪会了解我，知道我的价值。”牢狱可以囚禁身体，却囚禁不了思想;火刑可以消灭生命，却消灭不了真理。布鲁诺的潇洒源于坚持真理的伟大精神。
潇洒是不甘命运，勇于挑战，顽强坚定，乐观向上的生活态度;潇洒是不为外物役使，执着于内心追求的一种自由独立的精神;是为民族大业临危不惧，忍辱负重，勇于献身的人格境界;是为坚持真理，不畏强暴，不惧强权，视死如归的英雄气概。
朋友，当你遭受疾病折磨时，你会像张海迪那样潇洒吗?当你面对名利的诱惑时，你会像李白一样潇洒吗?当你忍受孤独的磨砺时，你会像苏武那样潇洒吗?当你面对生死的考验，你会如同布鲁诺一样潇洒吗?
潇洒是一种心态，一种胸襟，一种气度，一种精神的解放，一种从必然王国到自由王国的飞跃。人生既有阳光雨露的滋润，也有风雨雷电的侵袭，当你遭受人生的困境时，请你学会潇洒!
