英语演讲稿

【#英语演讲稿# #关于英语演讲稿(十七篇)#】演讲稿的写作方式十分灵活,可以根据会议主题,事件反思和具体需求而有所不同。在当今社会，演讲稿的使用场合频繁，许多人可能会觉得撰写演讲稿较为困难。以下是好查范文网小编整理的一些英语演讲稿示例，欢迎大家分享和参考。

关于英语演讲稿 之 一

虽然说工作中最经常使用的沟通工具是电话和邮件，但是，有的时候不方便打电话而且没办法查收邮件的时候，外企白领一般是用短信来沟通的。但是大家都知道，中文的短信比较容易发，但是如果你要给外籍同事或老板发短信的时候，就只能输英文了。所有人都对这件事情很头痛，的确太麻烦，要一个字母一个字母地输。下面是一些关于英文短信的技巧，不知道是否对需要跟老外沟通的白领们有所帮助。

1、text me！发我短消息！

用英文写短信的困难在于拼写，拼一个单词就可能花费你很长的一段时间。因此，现在许多人都通过缩短单词来加快拼写的速度。这样做节省了时间，但是如果不熟悉这些常用的.缩写规则，你就会感到很困惑。另外，书写简练短信的第一步就是掌握英文。

短信可分为两个基本部分:首字母缩写和缩略。

2、acronyms首字母缩写

首字母缩写是由每个单词的第一个字母组合而成的，比如un就是指united nations.短信里，首字母缩写常常被用在习惯用语中。另外，发声相似的词会被字母取代。请看一些例子：

oic- oh i see.

brb - be right back

bfn - bye for now

lol - laughing out loud

asap - as soon as possible

btw - by the way

fyi - for your information

jk - just kidding

ttyl - talk to you later

关于英语演讲稿 之 二

Good afternoon, everybody. I just want to say a few words about the landmark vote that the House of Representatives is poised to(随时准备着) take today -- a vote that can bring us one step closer to making real the promise of quality, affordable(支付得起) health care for the American people.

For the better part of a year now, members of the House and the Senate have been working diligently(勤奋地) and constructively to craft legislation that will benefit millions of American families and millions of American businesses who urgently need it. For the first time ever, they've passed bills through every single committee responsible for reform. They've brought us closer than we have ever been to passing health insurance reform on behalf of the American people.

Now is the time to finish the job. The bill that the House has produced will provide stability and security for Americans who have insurance; quality, affordable options for those who don't; and lower costs for American families and American businesses. And as I've insisted from the beginning, it is a bill that is fully paid for and will actually reduce our long-term federal deficit(赤字，不足).

This bill is change that the American people urgently need. Don't just take my word for it. Consider the national groups who've come out in support of this bill on behalf of their members: The Consumers Union supports it because it will create -- and I quote -- "a more secure, affordable health care system for the American people."

The American Medical Association and the American Nurses Association support it on behalf of doctors and nurses and medical professionals who know firsthand what's broken in our current system, and who see what happens when their patients can't get the care they need because of insurance industry bureaucracies(官僚政治).

The National Farmers Union supports this bill because it will control costs for farmers and ranchers(牧场主), and address the unique challenges rural Americans face when it comes to receiving quality care.

And the AARP supports it because it will achieve the goal for which the AARP has been fighting for decades -- reducing the cost of health care, expanding coverage for America's seniors, and strengthening Medicare for the long haul.

Now, no bill can ever contain everything that everybody wants, or please every constituency(选区) and every district. That's an impossible task. But what is possible, what's in our grasp right now is the chance to prevent a future where every day 14,000 Americans continue to lose their health insurance, and every year 18,000 Americans die because they don't have it; a future where crushing costs keep small businesses from succeeding and big businesses from competing in the global economy; a future where countless dreams are deferred or scaled back because of a broken system we could have fixed when we had the chance.

What we can do right now is choose a better future and pass a bill that brings us to the very cusp(尖头，尖端) of building what so many generations of Americans have sought to build -- a better health care system for this country.

Millions of Americans are watching right now. Their families and their businesses are counting on us. After all, this is why they sent us here, to finally confront the challenges that Washington had been putting off for decades -- to make their lives better, to leave this country stronger than we found it.

I just came from the Hill where I talked to the members of Congress there, and I reminded them that opportunities like this come around maybe once in a generation. Most public servants pass through their entire careers without a chance to make as important a difference in the lives of their constituents and the life of this country. This is their moment, this is our moment, to live up to the trust that the American people have placed in us -- even when it's hard; especially when it's hard. This is our moment to deliver.

I urge members of Congress to rise to this moment. Answer the call of history, and vote yes for health insurance reform for America.

关于英语演讲稿 之 五

Hi everybody.

Beauty usually refers to what appeals to the eye. A nice and well built girl is regarded as beautiful. A bunch of vigorous flowers are also considered as beautiful. A splendid waterfall coming down from a mountain is as well looked on as beautiful.

Beauty also refers to what appeals to the mind. The virtue of the Chinese nation-industry and bravery are taken as beautiful, because it helped to produce such a magnificent culture in the world. Einsteins theory of relativity is also perceived as beautiful, for it explains many natural phenomena so perfectly. Beauty is around us. If you keep an eye or pay some attention, it is never difficult to find something beautiful somewhere about you. Wonderful natural spots, historical relics,fine arts, splendid buildings, and kind people are just a few inches away.

Thank you.

关于英语演讲稿 之 八

有句谚语说，"人生没有了朋友就犹如失去了阳光",这也就是说，友谊对人的生活是不可缺少的。 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.

友谊是我们的生活中的调味品。当你快乐的时候，友谊就像是盛开的鲜花，展现在你面前，当你可悲时，友谊是一剂安慰;如果您遇到了麻烦，朋友们将会出现并帮你解除困难，如果你有一个难办的事，您可以找朋友获得帮助。 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.

每个人都需要朋友，如果你不能交到朋友，就该反省自己，看是否的你的个性有什么问题。或许你有些在社交上应该避讳的缺点：譬如势力、饶舌、说脏话等等。这些都会妨碍你结交新朋友。无论你有什么社交缺点，都应该正视它们，并努力改正。 However, what’s actual difficult is that friendship is easier made than e are several important elements necessary to maintain a good friendship.

然而，真正困难的是：友谊容易得到却不易保持。要想维持友谊以下几方面是必不可少的了. 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. 善于倾听。倾听是友谊的基石,它有助于你更好的了解你的朋友同时又表示你在关心你的朋友。 Spend quality time with your friend relationship can be satisfying without quality time spend time for your friend,schedule get together.

与朋友相聚。没相聚就没友谊。所以抽点时间与朋友一起聚聚 Be forgiving. There is not even one person in the world who is know your own shortcomings,so dont expect perfection from others.Im not saying that you should always accept a wrong doing on your friends them when you didnt 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.

宽容。人无完人,任何人都有自己的缺点，所以就不要要求别人完美。我并不是叫你一味的纵容朋友的错误，相反你应该明确的告诉你的朋友，不要藏在心底，这对你和你们自己的友谊都是有好处的 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

勇于承认自己的错误.朋友相处迟早都会产生冲突的,但产生误会和冲突时双方都是有责任的我认为勇于承认自己的过错比追究责任更有助于解决问题和增进友谊 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.

简言之，建立了友谊之后，要通过言语和行动来珍惜友谊，像爱护宝物一样爱惜友谊。只有这样，才能发展真正的友谊，让神圣的友谊之灯照亮我们一生。

Thank you!

Success is a feeling, that means success is not considered as big or small, high or low. It is just a good mood from your heart. Maybe passing a final test is a success for a student, learning to walk is a success for a little child, marrying a beautiful girl is a success for a lad, signing a contract is a success for a pany. Success varies from individual to group.

Success is a feeling, that means success is changing since your childhood. While you were a little child, you thought it was a success that your parents finally bought you lovely toys after you begged again and again. Success is the feeling you had when you were told that you won the contest. After graduation, you started working. You were successful when you finished a plicated task very well and you were praised. When married, maybe a happy marriage and a happy family meant success for you. When your child grew up, you hoped he or she attend a famous university or go abroad to study or work, at that time you considered that was your success. When you were old enough and couldn’t work at all, success was a feeling that your children and grandchildren came to see you from a long distance. Actually, success always acpanied you in your growth.

However, we have to admit that you can’t be successful all the time. We always meet many difficulties on the way to success. The more difficult it is, the much happier we are when we succeed.

To be successful, we should have a clear aim and then try our best to reach it. Wherever you go, whatever you are, your success belongs to yourself. It is a good feeling that you love it very much, and it really can make you laugh from the heart.

For this test, first of all, we should be confident, should take firm and strong pace, a sunny smile, showing vigorous and vigorous spirit. Only in this way can we have enough courage to cross a road blockade on learning; only in this way, we have energy down learning on a powerful fortress; only in this way can we climb up the fall, to meet the learning on the challenge again and again.

Secondly, it should maintain a good mood, a lot of students on the examination with a psychological tension and fear, in fact, the exam is just a special form of homework, its purpose is to help us address gaps and adjust the strategy, in order to better carry out the next step of learning. Therefore, we should take in a good mood again. Of course, but also to use the scientific learning method, to improve the efficiency and quality of learning, so usually learn something through the review into their own real knowledge.

We all know: the examination to examine not only the learning of knowledge and ability, but also test the psychological quality and coping skills. The difficulties we are nervous, impetuous is the enemy of success. When we face down the papers, everyone should be a military family, not only have the strategic operation style, jueshengqianli also, there must be a tactical meticulous spirit. Very careful in reckoning, here, I hope the students can be used to test the optimal strategies and techniques, and make a satisfactory answer.

Life can have a few back stroke? Thousands of pairs of eyes looking at us, in order to hope, in order to win, in order to ideals, we dare to fight on the field, learning must also be brave to fight!

Success comes from hard work!

It's my honor to speak here and I am very glad to share my topic with all of you. Today I'd like to talk about “my dream”. I do not just have one dream, in fact, I have three. They are: a healthy life, a happy family and to travel my great country.

I have always admired the long healthy life my grandparents have. They are older than 80 years of age and they are still alive and kicking! How do they do that!? My grandparents plant vegetables and grow rice themselves; even in their old age they still make food for themselves! I guess that is why they can remain healthy. More importantly they remain humble and never ask for too much from life. Perhaps that makes them common, but they live a happy life. My grandmother once told me this:” I do not want to live long, only long enough for some grand children to be running around in my house”. I want to live a long, healthy and happy life just as they have.

Since my graduation from primary school, until now, every time on my birthday I make the same wish. I wish my parents will not fight anymore. I am not complaining that they gave me a bad childhood, they just fight so much! I am unhappy but that does not mean they do not love me. They do! They love me with all their heart. I love my parents also; I want them to live a happy life as well.

I want to travel this great country of ours. I want to see the beauty of our country. I want to see the miracles that made this country great! I want to go from the east to west, from the north all the way down to the south! I have a dream, that one day I can travel and see my country with my family and friends! If that is not possible, seeing my country on my own is good enough also. If I can fulfill all three of my dreams in life, then God can take me away. I would be happy, and l would have lived a full and prosperous life.

Thank you everyone for listening to my dreams.

I thank you!

大家好，我今天演讲的题目是“我的梦想”。

每个人都有梦想，而且很好，我也不例外。我有一个小小的梦想，当我达到目标时，我会实现更多的梦想。开始，我还是个婴儿，一心想变得很强壮，像少林寺里的`孩子一样，武功高强。但是我觉得离开父母去很远的地方练武，辛苦，有点舍不得。小时候，我有一个梦想，我希望我有钱。大人问：小姑娘，有了钱你打算怎么办?我要去买泡泡糖"如果你有很多钱？

我打算买很多泡泡糖。"如果你有钱花的话？我会买泡泡糖工厂。"天真的童年我们的确有一颗善良的心，幸福和快乐是同一首曲子。

慢慢进入小学，课程越来越深，知识越来越多。会感受到压力。现在我有一个梦想。我希望我没有；我每天没有很多作业要做。玩的有点剥夺，而我们40%的日子都禁锢在教室里，很多时间都在学习。但是在学习面前，是一种模糊的知识。俗话说，一种罕见的困惑。对事物的理解，从封建主义到资本主义，越大越觉得自己的观点是正确的。每天放学回家后忙了一天一夜的课，他又困又累，吃不到深夜吃的食物。这样的生活很单调，可能有时候会想念我的很多小学同学，有时候会带着一节课或者一副朦胧的睡相。讨厌死板的校服，我从来不到处穿。周六，周日；时间很短，孩子很想磨炼，慢慢了解生活；太难了，努力吧，梦想好了，我会努力让每个人都生活起来，早起晚睡，把握住自己，不再松懈。我也想为他们的梦想而奋斗。

我的演讲结束了，谢谢！

My Understanding of Innovation Good afternoon everybody. I’m Alison from GAMI. It’s my honour to stand here to share my understanding of innovation. About innovation， what comes to your mind firstly ? As for me, most innovation shines our lives in the long process of humanhistory. Just imagine ten million years ago, what are our ancestors’ lifestyles? They must hunt animals or pick the roots and leaves for food laboriously with simple tools ; They have to roar with each other to communicate in a long distance; Their transportation basically rely on walking. In short, their lives are hard, simple, even a little boring. However, taking a look at our lives today! We can order KFC at home , our food is more easily and diversifiedly to be acquired; we can get in touch with our friends anywhere at anytime by telephone , E-mail andWeChat! Our vehicles include buses ,cars, planes and so on, it becames so easy to reach the destination. So how did these happen? Those changes are all owing to the countless innovation. It makes our lives become more convenient, comfortable and colorful. But in today’s modern life , don’t we need to innovate? No no, let’s have a look at the problems we are facing: air pollution, traffic jam, waste of resources. Those are related to our survival. Maybe we can make a huge machine to filter the polluted , or invent a car which not only can drive along the road, but also can fly in the sky; or one day we synthesis super energy materials, we would never relay on traditional resources any more. Are those ideas too exaggerated? Who knows? Just as hundreds years ago, nobody can imagine we can fly by plane. Time will tell you the truth .As Edward, a famous psychologists, said: Without innovation, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns. Therefore, innovation is an eternal topic for people, countries and societies! That’s all, thank u !

我对创新的理解大家下午好。我是艾丽森从加。站在这里分享我对创新的理解是我的荣幸。关于创新，首先你的想法是什么?对我来说，最创新的照耀我们生活在人类社会的漫长的过程。试想一千万年前，我们的祖先的生活方式是什么?他们必须猎杀动物或食物的辛苦与简单的工具选择的根和叶;他们要咆哮与对方在一个长距离通信;交通基本靠走。

总之，他们的生活很难，简单，甚至有点无聊。然而，我们今天的生活!我们可以为了肯德基在国内，我们的食物是更容易和多样是获得;我们可以随时通过电话与我们取得联系朋友的地方，电子邮件andwechat!我们的.车辆包括客车、汽车、飞机等，很容易到达目的地。那么这些是怎么发生的呢?这些变化都是由于无数的创新。它使我们的生活变得更加方便，舒适和丰富多彩。但在今天的现代生活中，我们不需要创新吗?不不，让我们来看看我们所面临的问题：空气污染，交通堵塞，资源浪费。这些都与我们的生存有关。也许我们可以制造一台巨大的机器来过滤污染，或者发明一辆汽车，它不仅可以沿着道路行驶，而且还可以在空中飞行;或者有一天我们合成超级能量的材料，我们永远不会对传统资源进行更多的保护。这些想法太夸张了吗?谁知道呢?就在几百年前，没有人能想象我们可以坐飞机。时间会告诉你真相，作为著名心理学家爱德华说：没有创新，就没有进步，我们将永远重复同样的模式。因此，创新是一个永恒的话题，为人，国家和社会!这是所有的，谢谢你!

Good morning everyone! Today I am very happy to make a speech here. Now, let me introduce myself. My name is xiaoxiao. I am from No.1Primary School. I live with my parents and we love each other deeply. I like my family, my school, my motherland.

How lucky I live in such a happy family, such a strong country, such a modern time. At school, I study Chinese, Math, English, Computer, and so on. I like all of them. I am a monitor, so I often help my teacher take care of my class. I think I am a good help.

And I like Tuesday best because we have English, music, computer and P.E. on Tuesdays. When I am at home, I often help my mother do some housework and my mother says I am a good help, too. My mother is a teacher. She works hard. She is kind. Many people like her. She often teaches me the way of learning well. (If you want to learn English well, here is some of my advice. At first, you must read many articles and know many words. If you meet up with some new words, you can look them up in the dictionary. You should know their meanings, how to read them and spell them. If you keep working hard, you will be successful.

Then, you ought to speak English as much as possible. 可省) In any case,remember an old saying; Nothing is impossible in the world if you put your heart into it. In my spare time, I have many hobbies. I like reading, playing the piano and dance. I am so good at dancing that I have got many awards.

This is me, a lovely pupil in the school, a dear apple of my parents eyes, and a little bud of the country. Please remember me, xiaoxiao from No.1Primary School. Thats all, thank you.

Dear Mr. Li dear my schoolmates good morning!

Entrusted by the first group of schoolmates the topic of my speech is Necessity for lifelong learning.

About lifelong learning there is the famous proverb in Chinese: never too old to learn. Confucius the famous educator in ancient China also said: if I learn the Classical literature Yi from the age of 50 I would never make so many mistakes.

To sum up Necessity of lifelong learning is mainly based on the following reasons: First of all the knowledge of modern society changes so quickly if not to learn new knowledge in time you will soon fall behind the times. For example using the mobile Internet technology we can using a mobile phone to book a taxi pay various fees buy all kinds of goods etc. if a person may not grasp the knowledge especially senior people they will not use the convenience brought by Internet.

Secondly diligent in thinking can effectively prevent the occurrence of Alzheimers disease. This conclusion has been verified in medicine. Finally a person who maintains the habit of lifelong learning can have a stronger advantage in occupation choice. This is not only good for the person but also for the country and the society. Some people complain that they have too much work and have no time to read a book usually. But In fact lifelong learning is not only reading or having a class we can browse the web read e-books receiving distance courses through the Internet conveniently. We can learn not only knowledge but also skills.

Age cannot be a barrier to our lifelong learning. Chu Shijian once the king of Chinas tobacco industry had suffered a great setback before retirement. He was even put into prison. But at the age of 75 he began to study orange planting technology seriously and finally have a huge success in this area ten years late. Harland Sandoz of America began learning the fast-food lethal at his age of 83. When he was 88 years old his fast food chain often Kentucky had distributed each corner of the world.

Therefore lifelong learning is never too late to start lets start our plan today. Thank you.

Everyone:

Good morning! First thing first, I gotta say,wow,it's funny thing to be given a chance like that.Trurh be told,I really got a little bit nervous before I stand right here ,so called 'stage fright'.

If you look specifically on me .You may find my hands shaking,pretty assembles the guy who suffered from Pakinson's disease,and legs wobbling ,like I caught so-called ball leg. Okay,let's stop going around the bush and get back to my topic today.I really like to talk a funny story I have just heard.A lady called Lucy emigrated to United States several years ago.Her spoken English is not that fluent .And one day,she is just sitting on the couch with his U.S friends Mandy watching Sit-Com.A noise of bump had the attention of Mandy,which led her to go out of the house trying to figure out what had happened.Can you imagine that Mandy go straight out with merely a sweater.

So Lucy shouted at her,"Lucy ,turn your clothes on." What suprised her most,beyond her wildest imagination, is that almost all the male in this country took their head out of the window.Admittedly,Lucy made a mistake here .The word spitted means Mandy is totally naked to the reason that male looked out of the window.The right sentence shall be,"put your clothing on."The story inspires you to take a careful look on the vast difference between eastern and western culture. That's full of it,thank you for your time!

Just make to it the finals, they had to get past 60 others speaking on “The impact of globalization on traditional Chinese values”。 That was at the semi-final on April 8-9. What will Chinese college students think about the impact? Each contestant had his own take on the subject. Xia summed up globalization by saying: “It’s just controversial and hard to say whether it is good or bad.” Xia took the old wall of his city, Nanjing, as a metaphor. He spoke about the conflict over whether to protect the old walls or tear them down to represent the conflict of ideas. He suggested that people protect the wall as a valuable relic while tearing down the “intangible walls” of their minds that prevent communication. While some other students are more focusing on the impact of globalization on family relations, attitudes towards love, and job-hunting.

Over the past 10 years, the national English speaking competition has given contestants a chance to speak on a variety of topics closely related to their lives. Chinese students become more open-minded and receive various ideas and thinking over the decade. Diversity becomes more obvious on campus, students have more opportunities to express and show themselves. It’s not an easy task for the contestants to win through the fierce competition. Owning to their passion, hard work and persistence, they finally succeeded in the contest.

Liu Xin, the first champion of the national contest, is now an anchorperson of CCTV-9. Recalling the passion of study on campus, she said: “When you want to express your idea by a foreign language without finding a right way, you’re really upset. Then you have to encourage yourself, and after a long term of bitterness, suddenly you find you get the right way with joy.” With the champion title in 21st Century Cup, Liu attended the International Public Speaking competition in London in May 1996 afterward and got the first prize historically.

The winner in 20xx surprised the audience, since she came from accounting major instead of English major. Gu Qiubei, then 22 years old, was a senior in Shanghai Foreign Studies University. While being asked whether she had some good methods to learn English, she said: “Learn English with passion and enthusiasm.” Attracted by the greatness of English language, Gu even changed her major from accounting to English in her postgraduate study. The most important issue in English learning process she pointed out is personal interests. Only people interested in English benefit a lot from the learning methods and those with passion will finally achieve their dreams.

When chief of global media giant Viacom Sumner Redstone gave a speech in Tsinghua University on his autobiography A Passion to Win, he was asked what made him to restart his career at the age of 60, the 81-year-old media tycoon said: “Firstly, there’s a self-driving force in my deep heart, which keeps my passion to succeed and surpass others; secondly, I don’t think I’m too old to leave work, actually I love my work very much.”

Some of the contestants have achieved their dreams as Redstone; still others are on the way to their dream. With a passion to win, you will overcome obstacles and succeed at the end.

I’m studying in a city that’s famous for its walls. People who visit my city are amazed at the imposing sight of its walls, especially when silhouetted against the setting sun with gold, shining streaks. The old, cracked bricks are covered with lichens and the walls are weather-beaten guards standing still for centuries.

Our ancestors liked to build walls. They built walls in Beijing, Xi’an, Nanjing and many other cities, and they built the Great Wall, which snakes across half our country. They built walls to protect against enemies and evil spirits. This tradition has survived to this day: we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public.

For a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world to me.

My perceptions, however, changed after I made a hiking trip to the eastern suburbs of my city. My classmates and I were walking with some foreign students. As we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by tall trees, which formed a wide canopy above our heads. Suddenly one foreign student asked me, “Where is the entrance to the eastern suburbs?”

“We’re already in the eastern suburbs,” I replied. He seemed taken aback, “I thought you Chinese had walls for everything.” His remark set off a heated debate. At one point, he likened our walled cities to “jails”， while I insisted that the eastern suburbs were one of the many places in China that had no walls.

That debate had no winners, but I did learn a lot from this student. For instance, he told me that some major universities like Oxford and Cambridge were not surrounded by walls. I have to admit that we do have many walls in China, and as we develop our country, we must look carefully at them and decide whether they are physical or intangible. We will keep some walls but tear down those that impede our development.

Let me give another example.

A year ago, when I was working on a term paper, I needed a book on business law and found a copy in the law school library. However, the librarian coldly rejected my request to borrow it, saying, “You can’t borrow this book, you’re not a student here.” In the end, I had to spend 200 yuan to buy a copy. Meanwhile, the copy in the law school gathered dust on the shelf.

At the beginning of this semester, I heard that my university had started to think of unifying its libraries and linking them to libraries at other universities, so my experience wouldn’t be repeated. Barriers would be replaced by bridges. An inter-library loan system would give us access to books from any library. With globalization and China integrated into the world, I believe many of these intangible walls will be knocked down.

I know that globalization is a controversial issue, and it is hard to say whether it is good or bad. But one thing is for sure: it draws our attention to China’s tangible and intangible walls and forces us to examine their role in the modern world.

And how about the ancient walls of mine and other cities? Should we tear them down? Definitely not. My city, like Beijing and other cities, is actually making a great effort to preserve the walls. These walls attract historians, archaeologists, and many schoolchildren who are trying to study our history and cultural heritage. Walls have become bridges to our past and to the rest of the world. If the ancient builders of these walls were still alive today, they would be proud to see such great changes in the role of their walls. They are now bridges that link East and West, South and North, and all countries of the world. Our cultural heritage will survive globalization.
