初中英语演讲稿：我参加决赛的目的
My purpose of being here
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, distinguished leaders and judges. It's really my great pleasure to be here.
Just now, off the stage, I was wondering if I could present well here, but now in the spotlight, I am not that nervous, and all I want to show you is my personality and confidence.
I'm always puzzled by a question that is: Is it true that Xinjiang students don't have ability to have a big talent in learning English. I happened to hear that many people think Xinjiang is a poor area with lots of low educated people there. They don't believe Xinjiang students can do as well as the students in big cities like Beijing or Shanghai. Even worse, someone ever asked me if I rode camel to go to school and had English classes. I was extremely angry and I didn't know how they could ask such questions. Later I realized that they look down on the education and economy of Xinjiang. So my purpose of being here is to change this kind of view. In my opinion, wherever you study, the most important point is yourself. Things are decided by your position. I mean I'm not going to win a prize for myself, but to win much honor for my hometown. I'll let you know how is Xinjiang student's ability, and show you, everyone here and the audiences all over this nation, Xinjiang students do have ability to be the champion. It's certain that I'd love to win me a big prize, because I love myself, but more important I love my hometown.
Thank you.
我参加决赛的目的
女士们、先生们，尊敬的领导和评委们，下午好。很高兴能来这里参加比赛。
刚才，在台下，我正担心我是否能够在这里表现出色，但是现在，在聚光灯下，我并未那样紧张，而我所想展现给你们的，是我的风采和自信。
我一直被一个问题所捆饶：是否新疆学生真的不具有学习英语的天赋。我偶然听到：许多人认为新疆是一个有着许多低教育水平的人的贫瘠的地域。他们不相信新疆学生可以做的和大城市如北京或上海的学生一样出色。更糟糕的是，曾经有人问我你是否骑骆驼上学，是否上英语课。当时我非常气愤且不知道他们怎么会问出这样的问题。后来，我意识到他们看不起新疆的教育和经济水平。所以我参加决赛的目的正是改变他们的这一看法。在我观点，不管你在哪学习，最重要的因素是你本身。事情是由你的态度而决定。我想说我不是来为我自己获得奖励，而是为我的家乡赢得荣誉。我将让你们知道新疆学生的能力，我将展现给你们，在座的各位以及全国的观众们。新疆学生的确具有获得冠军的能力!理所应当，我想要为自己赢得奖励，因为我爱自己，但更重要的是，我爱我的家乡。
谢谢。
