英语演讲：我们的青春

Ladies and Gentlemen , Good afternoon! Im very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is °youth±. I hope you will like it , and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.

First I want to ask you some questions:

1 Do you know what is youth?

2 How do you master your youth?

Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . Nobody grows old merely by a number of years . We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . Worry , fear , self ¨Cdistrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .

Whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of whats next and the joy of the game of living . In the center of your heart and my heart theres a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage
