《情》英语演讲稿（精选28篇）
Friendship Friends play an important part in our lives,and although we maytake friendship for granted,we often dont clearly understand how we makefriends.While we get on well with a number of people,we are usually friends withonly a very few----for example,the average among students is about 6 perperson.In all the cases of friendly relationships,two people like one anotherand enjoy being together.but beyond that,the degree of intimacy between them andthe reasons for the shared interests vary enormously.As we get to know people wetake into account things like age,race ,economic conditions,social position,andintelligence.Although these factors are not of prime importance,it is moredifficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age andbackground.
Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion,but itis usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs,to have attitudesand interests in commen ---they often talk about being on the same wavelength.it generally takes time to reach this point.And the more intimately involvedpeople become,the more they rely on one another .people want to do friendsfavours and hate to break a promise.Equally,friends have to learn to put up withannoying habits and try to tolerate differencesof opinion.Incontrast with marriage ,there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen theassociation between two persons.But the supporting and understanding of eachother that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to a powerfulbond ,which can overcome differences in background ,and break down barriers ofage, class or race.
The fourth season is winter.December,January and February are the threemonths of that season.
The weather is very cold,and most of the plants die at that time.Sometimesit snows.
People can enjoy skating and skiing.But winter doesn' t stay with us for along time,for spring comes again soon.
In my contact with all people, have their own friendship, have their owngood friend. I have not a good friend, however, has yet to get their ownfriendship. Every day I live in a person's world, although the classmates willplay with me, but I did not feel the taste of a friend. Can ever since thathappened after that one, I am very anxious to have a pure friendship.
That is what happened in the five grade, there were two students in theirrelationship is very good, very deep friendship, brothers. One day, xiao li dueto illness can not to school, he also shed a lot of homework. After hisrecovery, to school, because of absence from school, his grades plummet, fromninety something dropped to below 6 very fast, he is very upset. After huangknow, also very worried, because she know xiao li is due to absence from schoolresult is bad, and now also graduating class, the only way is to her to give himmake up a missed lesson. So she went to help him with his homework after schoolevery day. She every day so, friendship is more valuable.
There will always be paid what everyone, friends back to its previousstate. When he was asked why she wanted to help, she always said: "he is my goodfriend, as his friend, I can't help?"
She said deeply branded in my mind, I came out from a cool environment,eager to get belongs to own the friendship, I have understood everything. I wantto, I can get your friendship!
在我接触过的所有人中，都拥有自己的友谊,有自己的好朋友。然而，我却没有一个好朋友，至今还没有得到属于自己的友谊。我每天生活在一个人的世界里，虽然同学们会和我玩，但是我都没有感觉到一种朋友的滋味。可自从发生过那一件事后，我非常渴望拥有一份纯真的友谊。
那是在五年级时发生的事情，当时有两个同学他们的关系很好，友谊很深，情同手足。一天，小李由于生病不能到学校上课，他的功课也落下了不少。等他的身体恢复之后，到学校上课，由于缺课，他的成绩一落千丈，从九十几分迅速地降到了六十分以下，他很苦恼。小黄知道后，也非常担心，因为她知道小李是由于缺课所导致成绩不好，而且现在又是毕业班，的办法就是她给他补课。于是她每天放学就去他家帮他补习功课。她这样每天坚持着，之间的友情真是难能可贵。
每一个人的付出总是有回报的，朋友的成绩又恢复到以前的状态。当有人问她为什么要帮助他时，她总会说：“他是我的好朋友，作为他的朋友我能不帮吗?”
她说的话深深地烙在我的脑海里，令我从阴凉的环境中走了出来，渴望得到属于自己的友谊的我，已经明白了一切。我想，我会得到自己的友谊的!
Awesome Love
Good afternoon. Ladies and Gentlemen,
Today I will say something about my family love.
I remember when I was younger. My family lived a simple life. We weren't wealthy by any stretch of the imagination, but we were content with what we had.
Our first vehicle was an old broken-down bicycle. It provided us with transportation on many enjoyable weekends and holidays. Mom sat on the back while Dad pedaled. I, a mere toddler at the time, rode on the bar in front of him. It didn't matter where we were going as long as we were going there together.
Not long after that, my family moved to Hainan. Relying on my parents, courage and persistence, they started their own business. As a result, we were soon able to replace the bike with a new car. So we could travel further on our excursions. Our family's happy laughter filled the car as we traveled to many distant locations in China. Many years have gone by since those happy days, but we're still as close as ever.
Recently, the airplane has become our mode of transportation as we venture beyond the confines of China to see the world. We were able to experience firsthand the uniqueness of Amsterdam, the romance of Paris, and the elegance of Vienna. But yet, such fantastic sites were nothing compared to the love of our family.
Time goes by swiftly, and everything is changing all the the love existing in my family always remains. It is the source of our happiness; It,s the source of all of our ideals: confidence, courage, and faith. But it goes so much deeper than that; it warms our very hearts. So I will acclaim for the eternal and awesome love in my family and let it go on forever!
Thank you very much!
making friends is a skill like many other skills. it improves withpractice. if you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing totake some actions. you must first go where there are people. you won’t makefriends staying home alone. join a club or a group. taking with those who likethe same things as you do is much easier. or join someone in some activities.many people are nervous when talking to new people. after all meeting strangersmeans facing the unknown. and it’s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortableabout the unknown. most of our fears about dealing with new people come fromdoubts about ourselves. we imagine other people are judging us of finding us tootall or to short, too this or too that. but don’t forget that they must befeeling the same way. try to accept yourself as you are and try to put the otherperson at ease. you’ll both feel more comfortable.
try to be self-comfident even if you don’t feel that way. when you enter aroom full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, lookdirectly at other people and smile.
if you see someone you like to speak to, say something . don’t wait for theother person to start a conversation.
just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with thatperson-friendship is based on mutual liking and “give and take”. it takes timeand effort to develop.
We want to hold a green Olympic Games ,so everyone should do somethinguseful to protect the environment ,whether it is big or small.
We should do something to stop people from doing bad things to theenvironment should put rubbish into dustbins instead of throwing it yone must care for flowers ,grass and tress in public shound collectthings like paper ,plastic bags our neighborhood as well ,it’s necessary toplant more trees every year .
It is everyone’s duty to make our neighborhood much better with our handsminds ’s make a contribution to protecting the environment and the PlympicGames successfully.
i received a devastating bloplement my height and psychological maneuvers and tricks to hide my lack of confidence. but no matter hoeone panying a snow white than be a snow white among nothing but snow whites. i would rather be myself. i would contribute my individual and unique colors to create a more diverse universe. please, be yourself.
译文:我重树信心
大学生活的几年里，当我参加第一次面试时，我的自信心受到了沉重的打击。我向学生剧团申请出演一个主角，而且我十分自信地认为我会被录用。但是,其中有个剧团成员告诉我:你似乎不太合适出演这个角色，因为你的身高有点问题。我从未遇到过这种情况。我穿着高跟鞋来弥补我的身高，采用心理策略和技巧来掩盖自己信心的缺乏。但是，不论我怎样努力进入角色，感觉还是缺少些什么。
作为英语俱乐部的主席，我为英语晚会组织排演了《白雪公主》短剧。不幸的是，我们找不到合适的人选出演最后一个小矮人。这个角色必须生性幽默，英语流利。突然，所有人的目光都转向了我，我知道那个小矮人就是我了。让我极度奇怪而又高兴的是，一上台，我完全投入到演出中，而且我那幽默的天性被发挥得淋漓尽致。作为一个小矮人，我取得了巨大的成功。
的'确，我们中的任何一个人都是千百万中的一员，但我们中的每个人都是一个与众不同的个体。发挥我们自己的个性会改变我们的生活，使它们成为美丽的万花筒。
失去了多样性的世界是个冷漠、乏味的地方。真正的悲剧不是个矮、害羞或丑陋，而是将自己的个性迷失在一个克隆的世界里，那里到处都是典型的酷男孩或无瑕、迷人的好姑娘。
如果让我选择，我宁可面貌五陋，也不愿生活在这样一个世界里。我宁可做一个伴随白雪公主的真实的小矮人，也不愿做白雪公主世界里的一个白雪公主，而随波逐流。我宁可作为一个真实的自我而出现。我愿将自己独特的、与众不同的色彩奉献给多姿多彩的世界。走自己的路，让别人去说吧!

It is really a great honor to have this opportunity to make a speech for topic is OUR CLASS,OUR FAMILY.

There are various emotions in the world. People need valuable emotionswhich can support them both in mind and in life. Friendship is one of the mostvital emotions.
世上有很多不同的情感。人们需要宝贵的、在思想和生活上支持他们的感情。友情是其中一种很重要的情感。
It is not easy to deal with friendship. As for friendship, sometimes youand your friend may meet difficulties. Trust is the most remarkable trait offorever friendship. Trust plays a very important role in daily communication. Asthe saying goes, “Between friends all is common.” Furthermore, tolerance is alsoa considerable factor in remaining good friendship. If your friend makes amistake accidentally, you should have largeness of mind. Friendship is tooprecious. When we face some misunderstandings, we need to make joint efforts toprotect our friendship. We should not give up friendship at random. We shouldtreat our friends as treasures.
维持友谊并不容易。在友谊方面，有时候你和你的朋友都可能会遇到一些困难。信任是友谊地久天长最显著的一个特点。信任在日常交流中起着非常重要的作用。俗话说，“朋友之间不分彼此。”此外，宽容也是维持良好友谊的重要因素。如果你的朋友不小心犯了错误，你应该要有博大的胸怀。友谊是很珍贵的。当我们面对一些误会的时候，我们需要共同努力来保护我们的友谊。我们不应该轻易地放弃友谊。我们应该珍惜我们的朋友。
Friendship is so pure, clear and beautiful. We cannot be lack of friendshipin our life. Try our best to insist our trust in making friends.
友谊是纯洁、美丽。我们的生活中不能缺少友谊。在交朋友的时候要尽量坚持信任。
and see no end to the landscape, new objects presenting themselves as we advance; so, in the commencement of life, we set no bounds to our inclinations. nor to the unrestricted opportunities of gratifying them. we have as yet found no obstacle, no disposition to flag; and it seems that we can go on so forever. we look round in a new world, full of life, and motion, and ceaseleprogress; and feel in ourselves all the vigor and spirit to keep pace with it, and do not foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural course of things, decline into old age, and drop into the grave. it is the simplicity, and as it were abstractedneof our feelings in youth, that (so to speak) identifies us with nature, and (our experience being slight and our passions strong) deludes us into a belief of being immortal like it. our short-lives connection with existence we fondly flatter ourselves, is an indissoluble and lasting union-a honeymoon that knows neither coldness, jar, nor separation. as infants smile and sleep, we are rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies, and lulled into security by the roar of the universe around us0we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the more-objects prearound us, filling the mind with their magnitude and with the strong of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.
I have a good friend. She is a girl. And she is pretty. She is very good atEnglish! And her English grades are very well!
My good friend is a student of HengFu Road Middle School in class fivejunior one. She is 13 years old. She is 1 years older than me. And she has twobeautiful eyes. She has a cherry mouth and a little nose. She loves to smile.And her smile is very beautiful.
Do you know her hobby? Let me tell you! Her favourite sport is badminton.She enjoys doing housework and playing puter games. So her mother loves her verymuch. And all of her family love her， too.
I am very happy to be her friends!
I have a close friend whose name is LiBing. He is half head taller than me.He likes to dress in blue jeans and he is very friendly to people.
Once I was ill at home. He lived far away from my house but he came andhelped me with my study.
He always says， "A life without a friend is a life without sunshine." Myfriend has done the same as he says. Im happy to have such a friend. If he is introuble， Ill try my best to help him.
Love to us human is what water to shines the most beautiful lightof humanity,we born in it,we live by often we take it as granted,but weshould know love is a priceless gift we should how to cherish thelove?I have heard a saying :the quickest way to receive love is to give it; thefastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly the best way to keep love isto give it wings.
It is important for us to learn to love as the first class in our when you know how to love than you will be a real man in this bringsus warmth in the fearful coldness,love brings us bright when life gets hard brings us confidence toward life when we are tired out and want togive up.
Love deserves all the admiring words,and love is even beyond the life is what love is all about in my eyes.
My mother is an educated woman, who has many good qualities. Like all othermothers, she is responsible and devotes most of her efforts to our family. Shetreats my father kindly and cares for her children whole?-heartedly.
When my mother has spare time, she reads books and newspapers, so she knowsmany stories. After supper, I often sit in our living room, listening to hertelling stories. She has a gift for telling interesting stories. My mother is alearned woman, so I often consult her whenever I have any difficulty in mylessons. Her explanations are very helpful, so she is not only my mother butalso my teacher.
Friendship means being friendly to each other or making friends with oneanother. Human beings are social animals. They do not live in isolation.Theyneed each other both physically and emotionally.
However, some people distort friendship by forming small groups that areharmful to others, or even to the whole community. In university some studentsfrom the same city or province form an association to help each other. But suchassociations often exclude students from other parts of the country, and thus donot promote friendship in a broad sense.
True and lasting friendship is based on a more solid foundarien. Realfriends share the same ideals. While marching toward their common objective,they help each other. If one makes a mistake, his friend will not hesitate topoint it out for him, because he knows the frank criticism will help him. Whatwe need is this type of genuine friendship.
Love to us human is what water to fish.Love shines the most beautiful lightof humanity,we born in it,we live by it.Too often we take it as granted,but weshould know love is a priceless gift we should cherish.But how to cherish thelove?I have heard a saying :the quickest way to receive love is to give it; thefastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly the best way to keep love isto give it wings.
It is important for us to learn to love as the first class in our life.Onlywhen you know how to love than you will be a real man in this world.Love bringsus warmth in the fearful coldness,love brings us bright when life gets hard anddark.Love brings us confidence toward life when we are tired out and want togive up.
Love deserves all the admiring words,and love is even beyond the life anddeath.That is what love is all about in my eyes.
The family is one of the best things in the world, it is spring, moistensdry up your mind, it is light, light the way forward for me, it is a cup of tea,warm me.
If nature is used to describe the family, the love is the sun in thewinter, it's warm. No matter you are what kind of injustice, the family will notlaugh at you, it will comfort you, when you meet with difficulties, it willimmediately give you hope and the power, let you solved.
The final exam approaching, nature is a tension, teacher than a studentstill nervous. The most obvious evidence, homework more.
Recently, English became my sorrow. Recite the text is my nightmare. Thenight, the wind has not respected bone, I stay up late to work overtime tobecome commonplace.
Back home, first thing is to review. As time goes by, the window is atnight, when others are fast asleep, lang lang came home, national who issurprised, remembered that is yourself. Father woke up, sleepy, fear to say:"the child hard, go to bed early." I nodded slightly, but let me have morepower.
The family is warm in the winter the sun, you warm me, you gave meunlimited power and hope. You are my life the fine night, the lowest in mylife.
There is a saying goes，"life without a friend is a life without a sun"，that isTo say，Friendship is indispensable to people's life. Friendship is to our life what salt is to dasher. When you are happy, friendship is just like adding flowers on the brocade; when you are sad, friendship is a dose of consolation; if you are in trouble, friends will surround you and remove the barriers for you; if you have a hard nut to crack, you can turn to friends for help. Every one need friends, and if you fail to make friends, you should examine yourself and see if there is something wrong with your personality. Maybe you have social faults such snobbishness, talkativeness and using slang etc. All of that will drive your new acquaintances. Whatever your social faults may be, look at them honestly and make real effort to correct them. However, what’s actual difficult is that friendship is easier made than e are several important elements necessary to maintain a good friendship. Listen ability to really listen to another is a cornerstone of good helps you to understand your friend and his/her feelings,as well as shows that you really care. Spend quality time with your friend relationship can be satisfying without quality time spend time for your friend,schedule get together. Be forgiving. There is not even one person in the world who is know your own shortcomings,so don't expect perfection from others.I'm not saying that you should always accept a wrong doing on your friend's them when you didn't like something and be always ready to make up 't hold grudges in your will help your friend to be long-suffering with you as well.
Admit your faults every friendship there will be conflict sooner or it comes，often the wrong is on both sides Admit your wrongs instead of just pointing out the wrongs of another person will help you both to keep the line of communication open and strengthen your friendship In short, when we have established friendship, we ought to cherish and treasure it by means of words and deeds. Only thus, can we develop real friendship and keep the sacred lamp of friendship burning all our life.
Thank you!

亲情
厩得在我很小的时候，家里的日子过得朴实无华，不富裕的家境容不得半点的奢侈。但是，我们对所拥有的一切都感到满足与惬意。
一辆破旧的自行车是我们全家的第一个交通工具。但它为我们带来了许许多多快乐的周末与假期。记得妈妈总是坐在后座上，爸爸骑着车，而丁点儿大的我就呆在车子的前梁上。在我们的短程旅途中，似乎目的地并不是最重要的'，而重要的是我们在一起，享受并渡过了快乐的时光。
在那不久后，我们全家搬到了海南，凭着父母的勇气与执着不懈的努力，他们在自己的事业上很快有了出色的成绩。因此，不久后父母就将原本的脚踏车换成了一辆崭新的小课车，于是，我们就开始了长距离的旅途，在周游中国的同时，快乐的笑声总是充满着整个温馨的车厢。而那些日子虽然已经过去了很久，但是我们还是像以前那样亲密无间。
后来，在我们迈出中国游览世界的时候，飞机又成了我们的新型交通工具。我们全家一起感受阿姆斯特丹的奇异，巴黎的浪漫与维也纳的典雅。但是所有令人心动的景色都不可与旅途中我们全家浓浓的亲情相提并论。
时光如水，我们身边的一切都在无时无刻地改变着，但是亲情不变，永远不变。它是我们快乐的源泉，是我们全家理想、信心、勇气与责任的源泉。它所给予的不仅仅是这些。而更多的是心灵上的温暖与感动。所以，我要为亲情喝彩，让爱--永恒!
I have a lively, cheerful good friend.
His big eyes, curved eyebrows, short hair, a row of white teeth, smile isso handsome!
When he was happy eyes narrowed into a crack, open the big mouth, like ahippo, there were two big front teeth. As long as you see him smile, you willfollow him laugh.
When he is angry, staring eyes, bite a tooth. If there is a table or sofabeside, he would knock once in a while. If not, his fist grip like steamedbread.
His lonely listlessly and hung (down) his head as if to cry.
This is my good friend. Can you guess who he is?
我有一个活泼、开朗的`好朋友。
他大大的眼睛，弯弯的眉毛，短短的头发，一排洁白的牙齿，笑起来帅极了!
他高兴的时候眼睛眯成一条缝，张开大大的嘴巴，像河马一像，还露出两颗大大的门牙。你只要看到他笑，你也会跟着他笑。
他生气的时候，瞪着眼睛，咬着牙。如果旁边有桌子或者沙发，他就会敲一下。如果没有，他的拳头握得像馒头一样。
他寂寞的时候无精打采地垂着头，仿佛要哭出来。
这就是我的好朋友。你能猜出来他是谁吗?
Parents gave me life in this world,I love the most is them.
Expressing of loving parents do not need to pass a language that I ever we can do some little the Father's Day or Mother'sDay,we can prepare a delicious breakfast for can remember their birthdays,we don't need to buy gifts,but have to say happybirthday.
When parents come home from work,we can hand them a cup of hot water tomake them can help parents to share some of the housework,so that theyhave more time to part of the family,we should take active to we read out,we should always contact them,tell them recent thingsof our them not worry about us.
It is known to all our parents love is priceless,is not asking should love them in return. But,parents can be very simple ng as the life of more concern to them,for them to have been do it.
父母给了我生活在这个世界上，我最爱的就是他们。
表达对父母的爱不需要通过语言，我爱他们。我们可以做些力所能及的事情。在父亲节和母亲节，我们可以准备一顿美味的早餐给他们。我们能记住他们的生日。在他们的生日，我们不需要买礼物，但有说生日快乐。
当父母下班回家，我们可以递上一杯热水让他们放松。我们可以帮父母分担一些家务，让他们有更多的时间休息。作为家庭的一部分，我们应该主动去做家务。如果我们读出来的'，我们要经常联系他们，告诉他们我们自己最近的事情，让他们不要担心我们。
众所周知，父母的爱是无价的，是不求任何回报。我们应该爱他们。但是，父母的爱可以很简单。只要给他们更多的关注生活，他们已经很满意了。只是这样做。
"Maybe you will forget those who shared pleasure with you, but you willremember those who tasted tears with you. " Kahlil Cirbran
“你也许会忘记那些与你一同笑过的人，但是你将永远记住那些与你一同伤心落泪的人。”---- kahlil Girbran
Everyone has a lot of friends and he must have his own friendship as well.But usually only when you get into trouble, will you know what the truefriendship is. The friend in need is the friend in deed. Only the real friendswill help you when you are in trouble. If you establish your friendship when youare in trouble, make it go on forever.
每个人都有很多朋友，也一定有属于他自己的友谊。但是，通常只有当你遇到困难时，你才能知道什么是真正的友谊。患难见真情，只有真正的朋友会在你身处困境时帮助你。如果你在逆境中将友谊建立，那么请让它继续到永远。
Maybe a boy and a girl become good friends. They feel very happy when theyare each other, but other students may think that they have fallen in love. Ifyou were one of them, what would you do? If I were in that position, I would notcare about what anyone else may say. I only care about her feeling. We shouldknow that our friendship is pure without anything bad mixed. Friendship is veryimportant for everyone, so I will let my friendship last forever.
也许一个女孩和一个男孩成为了好朋友，他们在一起会感到很幸福。但是，其他同学会认为他们相爱了。如果你是其中之一，你会怎么办?如果是我，我将不会在乎别人说什么，我只在乎她的感觉。我们应该明白，我们的友谊是纯洁的，是不含任何杂质的。友谊对每个人都很重要，所以我会让我们的友谊继续下去。
Everyone should know that he can not lose his opposite sex friends. If you donot make friends with your opposite sex classmates, then you have already losthalf of the friends. So you can make friends with all your classmates, and don'tbe shy. You should also pay enough attention to the friendship that you havealready established. Don’t undermine it unless you want to hurt him. You shouldnever try to do so, for if you do that you will lose much in emotion.
每个人都应该明白你不能失去异性的朋友如果你不与异性同学交朋友，那么你就已经失去了一半朋友。所以你可以与你所有的同学交朋友，不要害羞。你同样也应该重视你已经建立的友谊，不要破坏它，除非你想伤害他。不过，请不要去尝试，如果你这么做你会失去太多的感情。
Please cherish everything that you have already possessed. Maybe you don'tcare about it now. But when you lose it, you will find that how important itis.
请珍惜你所拥有的一切也许你现在并不在乎，但当你失去时你会发现它是多么的重要。
do you think it's possible to control someone's attention? even more than that, what about predicting human behavior? i think those are interesting ideas, if you could. i mean, for me, that would be the perfect superpower, actually kind of an evil way of approaching it. but for myself, in the past, i've spent the last 20 years studying human behavior from a rather unorthodox way: picking pockets. when we think of misdirection, we think of something as looking off to the side, when actually it's often the things that are right in front of us that are the hardest things to see, the things that you look at every day that you're blinded to.
for example, how many of you still have your cell phones on you right now? great. double-check. make sure you still have them on you. i was doing some shopping beforehand. now you've looked at them probably a few times today, but i'm going to ask you a question about them. without looking at your cell phone directly yet, can you remember the icon in the bottom right corner? bring them out, check, and see how accurate you were. how'd you do? show of hands. did we get it?
now that you're done looking at those, close them down, because every phone has something in common. no matter how you organize the icons, you still have a clock on the front. so, without looking at your phone, what time was it? you just looked at your clock, right? it's an interesting idea. now, i'll ask you to take that a step further with a game of trust. close your eyes. i realize i'm asking you to do that while you just heard there's a pickpocket in the room, but close your eyes.
now, you've been watching me for about 30 seconds. with your eyes closed, what am i wearing? make your best guess. what color is my shirt? what color is my tie? now open your eyes. by a show of hands, were you right?
it's interesting, isn't it? some of us are a little bit more perceptive than others. it seems that way. but i have a different theory about that, that model of attention. they have fancy models of attention, posner's trinity model of attention. for me, i like to think of it very simple, like a surveillance system. it's kind of like you have all these fancy sensors, and inside your brain is a little security guard. for me, i like to call him frank. so frank is sitting at a desk. he's got all sorts of cool information in front of him, high-tech equipment, he's got cameras, he's got a little phone that he can pick up, listen to the ears, all these senses, all these perceptions. but attention is what steers your perceptions, is what controls your reality. it's the gateway to the mind. if you don't attend to something, you can't be aware of it. but ironically, you can attend to something without being aware of it. that's why there's the cocktail effect: when you're in a party, you're having conversations with someone, and yet you can recognize your name and you didn't even realize you were listening to that.
now, for my job, i have to play with techniques to exploit this, to play with your attention as a limited resource. so if i could control how you spend your attention, if i could maybe steal your attention through a distraction. now, instead of doing it like misdirection and throwing it off to the side, instead, what i choose to focus on is frank, to be able to play with the frank inside your head, your little security guard, and get you, instead of focusing on your external senses, just to go internal for a second. so if i ask you to access a memory, like, what is that? what just happened? do you have a wallet? do you have an american express in your wallet? and when i do that, your frank turns around. he accesses the file. he has to rewind the tape. and what's interesting is, he can't rewind the tape at the same time that he's trying to process new data.
now, i mean, this sounds like a good theory, but i could talk for a long time and tell you lots of things, and they may be true, a portion of them, but i think it's better if i tried to show that to you here live. so if i come down, i'm going to do a little bit of shopping. just hold still where you are.
hello, how are you? it's lovely to see you. you did a wonderful job onstage. you have a lovely watch that doesn't come off very well. do you have your ring as well? good. just taking inventory. you're like a buffet. it's hard to tell where to start, there's so many great things.
hi, how are you? good to see you.
hi, sir, could you stand up for me, please? just right where you are. oh, you're married. you follow directions well. that's nice to meet you, sir. you don't have a whole lot inside your pockets. anything down by the pocket over here? hopefully so. have a seat. there you go. you're doing well.
hi, sir, how are you? good to see you, sir. you have a ring, a watch. do you have a wallet on you? joe: i don't. apollo robbins: well, we'll find one for you. come on up this way, joe. give joe a round of applause. come on up joe. let's play a game.
(applause)
pardon me.
i don't think i need this clicker anymore. you can have that. thank you very much. i appreciate that.
come on up to the stage, joe. let's play a little game now. do you have anything in your front pockets? joe: money. ar: money. all right, let's try that. can you stand right over this way for me? turn around and, let's see, if i give you something that belongs to me, this is just something i have, a poker chip. hold out your hand for me. watch it kind of closely. now this is a task for you to focus on. now you have your money in your front pocket here? joe: yup. ar: good. i'm not going to actually put my hand in your pocket. i'm not ready for that kind of commitment. one time a guy had a hole in his pocket, and that was rather traumatizing for me. i was looking for his wallet and he gave me his phone number. it was a big miscommunication.
so let's do this simply. squeeze your hand. squeeze it tight. do you feel the poker chip in your hand? joe: i do. ar: would you be surprised if i could take it out of your hand? say yes. joe: very. ar: good. open your hand. thank you very much. i'll cheat if you give me a chance. make it harder for me. just use your hand. grab my wrist, but squeeze, squeeze firm. did you see it go? joe: no. ar: no, it's not here. open your hand. see, while we're focused on the hand, it's sitting on your shoulder right now. go ahead and take it off. now, let's try that again. hold your hand out flat. open it up all the way. put your hand up a little bit higher, but watch it close there, joe. see, if i did it slowly, it'd be back on your shoulder. (laughter) joe, we're going to keep doing this till you catch it. you're going to get it eventually. i have faith in you. squeeze firm. you're human, you're not slow. it's back on your shoulder. you were focused on your hand. that's why you were distracted. while you were watching this, i couldn't quite get your watch off. it was difficult. yet you had something inside your front pocket. do you remember what it was? joe: money. ar: check your pocket. see if it's still there. is it still there? (laughter) oh, that's where it was. go ahead and put it away. we're just shopping. this trick's more about the timing, really. i'm going to try to push it inside your hand. put your other hand on top for me, would you? it's amazingly obvious now, isn't it? it looks a lot like the watch i was wearing, doesn't it?
(laughter) (applause)
joe: that's pretty good. that's pretty good. ar: oh, thanks. but it's only a start. let's try it again, a little bit differently. hold your hands together. put your other hand on top. now if you're watching this little token, this obviously has become a little target. it's like a red herring. if we watch this kind of close, it looks like it goes away. it's not back on your shoulder. it falls out of the air, lands right back in the hand. did you see it go? yeah, it's funny. we've got a little guy. he's union. he works up there all day. if i did it slowly, if it goes straightaway, it lands down by your pocket. i believe is it in this pocket, sir? no, don't reach in your pocket. that's a different show. so -- (squeaking noise) -- that's rather strange. they have shots for that. can i show them what that is? that's rather bizarre. is this yours, sir? i have no idea how that works. we'll just send that over there.
that's great. i need help with this one. step over this way for me. now don't run away. you had something down by your pants pocket. i was checking mine. i couldn't find everything, but i noticed you had something here. can i feel the outside of your pocket for a moment? down here i noticed this. is this something of yours, sir? is this? i have no idea. that's a shrimp.
joe: yeah. i'm saving it for later.
ar: you've entertained all of these people in a wonderful way, better than you know. so we'd love to give you this lovely watch as a gift. (laughter) hopefully it matches his taste. but also, we have a couple of other things, a little bit of cash, and then we have a few other things. these all belong to you, along with a big round of applause from all your friends. (applause)
oe, thank you very much.
(applause)
so, same question i asked you before, but this time you don't have to close your eyes. what am i wearing?
(laughter)
(applause)
attention is a powerful thing. like i said, it shapes your reality. so, i guess i'd like to pose that question to you. if you could control somebody's attention, what would you do with it?
thank you.
I still remember the Titanic, though it's a big ship but it still sunk, so,in my opinion, the best ship is the friendship. Friendship is one of the mostimportant things in everyone's life.
When you're down, friends lift you up. When you lose your way, friendsguide you and cheer you on.
everyone need friends because there are a lot of things that you can't dealwith yourself, and the friend's just make up for it.
Friendship just likes the sun, it can make you fell warm though in the coldwinter, friendship just likes the water in the desert, it can make you fell thatin the world, there still has hope .in a word, the friendship is the samemeaning as the greatness, selfness and devotion.
To make friends ,adding a friend equals adding a way ,open your heart,devote yourself ,let friendship make your world colorful 。
A lot of people, will produce question, why do I have to help my parents to work? Is this:
Every day, to see their parents that tired, busy busy east west, my heart arises spontaneously give a kind of idea: don't, I can't do what I can do? I can not help parents do something... The series of problems, however, the answer is only one answer, that is: I can.
Now, I have a holiday, can easily; And parents? Still want to work, busy. So, in the homework, I will help parents do some housework, dry with a dry, then I think of my childhood:
When I was a child, a sick, parents are busy. Once, I had a high fever, regardless of one's parents, carrying me to the hospital. The way the wind is so big, I shivering, mother seems to feel, without further ado, he put his own clothes wrapped in my body... The next day morning, my disease good, saw their parents the cross-eyed, was full of blood, from the parents' eyes, I see, they didn't sleep a wink!
Love, is so precious! She is priceless treasure of mankind! She is a lifelong partner, it is mankind's greatest wealth!
Good afternoon. Ladies and Gentlemen,
Today I will say something about my family love.
I remember when I was younger. My family lived a simple life. We weren'twealthy by any stretch of the imagination, but we were content with what wehad.
Our first vehicle was an old broken-down bicycle. It provided us withtransportation on many enjoyable weekends and holidays. Mom sat on the backwhile Dad pedaled. I, a mere toddler at the time, rode on the bar in front ofhim. It didn't matter where we were going as long as we were going theretogether.
Not long after that, my family moved to Hainan. Relying on my parents,courage and persistence, they started their own business. As a result, we weresoon able to replace the bike with a new car. So we could travel further on ourexcursions. Our family's happy laughter filled the car as we traveled to manydistant locations in China. Many years have gone by since those happy days, butwe're still as close as ever.
Recently, the airplane has become our mode of transportation as we venturebeyond the confines of China to see the world. We were able to experiencefirsthand the uniqueness of Amsterdam, the romance of Paris, and the elegance ofVienna. But yet, such fantastic sites were nothing compared to the love of ourfamily.
Time goes by swiftly, and everything is changing all the time.Yet the loveexisting in my family always remains. It is the source of our happiness; It,sthe source of all of our ideals: confidence, courage, and faith. But it goes somuch deeper than that; it warms our very hearts. So I will acclaim for theeternal and awesome love in my family and let it go on forever!
Thank you very much!
记得在我很小的时候，家里的日子过得朴实无华，不富裕的家境容不得半点的奢侈。但是，我们对所拥有的一切都感到满足与惬意。
一辆破旧的自行车是我们全家的第一个交通工具。但它为我们带来了许许多多快乐的周末与假期。记得妈妈总是坐在后座上，爸爸骑着车，而丁点儿大的我就呆在车子的前梁上。在我们的短程旅途中，似乎目的地并不是最重要的，而重要的是我们在一起，享受并渡过了快乐的时光。
在那不久后，我们全家搬到了海南，凭着父母的勇气与执着不懈的努力，他们在自己的事业上很快有了出色的成绩。因此，不久后父母就将原本的脚踏车换成了一辆崭新的小轿车，于是，我们就开始了长距离的旅途，在周游中国的同时，快乐的笑声总是充满着整个温馨的车厢。而那些日子虽然已经过去了很久，但是我们还是像以前那样亲密无间。
后来，在我们迈出中国游览世界的时候，飞机又成了我们的新型交通工具。我们全家一起感受阿姆斯特丹的奇异，巴黎的浪漫与维也纳的典雅。但是所有令人心动的景色都不可与旅途中我们全家浓浓的亲情相提并论。
时光如水，我们身边的一切都在无时无刻地改变着，但是亲情不变，永远不变。它是我们快乐的源泉，是我们全家理想、信心、勇气与责任的源泉。它所给予的不仅仅是这些。而更多的是心灵上的温暖与感动。所以，我要为亲情喝彩，让爱--永恒!
