1、毕业典礼优秀两分钟英语演讲稿范文五篇演讲是人格魅力的渲染，以下是小编给大家带来上台演讲的毕业典礼优秀两分钟英语演讲稿范文五篇，欢迎大家参考借鉴!英语演讲稿1In all seriousness, the board back then made an inspiring decision to choose Washington. And anyone who thinks this school is in D.C. or near Seattle clearly hasn’t been paying attention.It seems fitting that an inst

2、itution named for Washington has played such an important role in presidential elections in recent decades. WashU has hosted a number of nationally televised debates, including the last one you saw in 20xx.Hosting a presidential debate is an experience that few schools or students get. But I can&rsq

3、uo;t stand here and tell you it provided a great civics lesson. I wish I could.Instead of focusing on the critical issues facing the country, that debate was more about locker room talk and ‘lock her up.’ Lincoln-Douglas, I think it’s fair to say, it was not.And that brings me to t

4、he topic du jour. It would be easy to blame the candidates or the moderators for the poor quality of that debate. But the problem runs much deeper.英语演讲稿2All across America – at family gatherings, in social settings and workplaces, on college campuses, and certainly on social media, Americans a

5、re losing the ability to conduct civil and productive dialogue with those who hold different political views.And that has profound effect…profound implications for our ability to function as a society. After all, when you can’t talk with one another, you can’t understand one anoth

6、er. When we can’t understand one another, we can’t work together. When we can’t work together, we can’t do anything, at least not anything big and important.We face a lot of hard challenges in America today – from climate change to gun violence, to failing schools to th

7、e opioid epidemic, and on campuses, from the frightening trend towards racism, sexism, hatred, anti-Semitism and intolerance of unpopular views and opinions.To have any hope of overcoming these challenges, we have to start by reclaiming our civic dialogue from those who are debasing and degrading it

8、 – and preventing us from getting things done.All of you can help do that – no matter what your politics are and no matter what line of work you pursue later on. Maybe your passion is science or education, or the arts or education, or medicine or health care, or business. There is not a

9、single issue that isn’t affected by political debates. And there is not a single issue that isn’t threatened by the breakdown in our civic discourse.英语演讲稿3So if…even if you hate politics – and there are certainly plenty of good reasons to hate politics these days – you

10、 will have to engage in political dialogue, if only to survive Thanksgiving dinner with your crazy uncle. And you will have to judge the arguments made by candidates if you are going to vote intelligently.The question I hope you will ask yourself is: on what basis will you make those judgments?It wo

11、uld be natural to think that a degree from one of America’s top colleges has prepared you as a skilled judge of political debates. But unfortunately, a recent study found that the smartest and most knowledgeable voters can actually be the worst judges. And the reason is they are most likely to

12、 make judgments based on which party is making the argument rather than on the argument itself.Now, I know what you’re thinking. ‘I would never do that,’ you say. But it happens unconsciously all the time. People have a tendency to assume the worst about those on the other side of

13、the aisle. And when it comes to those on your side, they tend to see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil. And that’s why – you can applaud if you want – that’s why educated and knowledgeable people excuse these actions that are ethically wrong and defend statements that a

14、re blatant lies.英语演讲稿4Of course, some people say defending the indefensible is just politics as usual, but I don’t accept that – and I hope you won’t, either.When extreme partisanship replaces reason, logic, facts and data, the country suffers – and special interests win. I&r

15、squo;ve seen it time and time again, on issue after issue: gun violence, education, public health, and even one that threatens life as we know it: climate change.Yesterday, I stood with WashU’s next chancellor, Andrew Martin, and the president of Ohio State University to announce that Bloomber

16、g Philanthropies will help sponsor the first-ever climate summit of Midwestern universities next year right here on this campus.We were joined by your mayor here, Lyda Krewson, because St. Louis, and WashU, has never…has always been a real leader on climate change.Last year, this city was one

17、 of the winners of a climate competition my foundation ran. And we are now providing about $2.5 million of resources to help St. Louis increase energy efficiency and expand solar power – a goal that WashU is helping the city to achieve. Thank you very much.英语演讲稿5Universities have a critical ro

18、le to play in helping our country tackle this challenge, and I want to thank everyone at WashU who has been part of that work.There really is no time to waste. The problems driven by climate change are getting worse – and that’s something you’ve seen right here during your lifetime

19、.The recent Mississippi River floods have affected life in St. Louis and they have devastated farmers across the Midwest. Those types of natural disasters will continue to get more severe with climate change, according to the best scientific data.The trouble is too many politicians aren’t inte

20、rested in hard science. They’re only interested in political science and winning their next election. So they ignore the data, they try to cut funding for climate research – because they know it will undermine their political argument. Sometimes they even try to block public employees fr

21、om uttering the words – climate change.You can’t make this stuff up. You just have to wonder, what are they trying to hide? And the only conclusion I have drawn is that they’re either hiding their own ignorance or their own bad faith.Either way, when government tries to gag scientists and censor our conclusions, watch out and speak up.
