foster the lofty ideal ,showcase the youthful sfyle
dear young friends,we are xu ye na and tong he wang from class 8,grade 7. today our speech is about ideals and youth—foster the lofty ideal,showcase the youthful style.亲爱的朋友们,我们是来自初一八班的徐叶娜和童和旺，今天我们演讲的主题是—树立远大理想展现青春风采。
ideals in ancient china were known as‘zhi’. the ancients thought it very important.no matter how poor they will hold on their ideals. 理想，在我国古代被称为“志”。古人是很重视理想的，即使到了贫无立锥之地，也要恪守“人穷志不穷”的信念，坚持他们的理想。
because the ideal is an oasis in the desert ,a light in the dark,the clarion call of life.古人为何如此重视理想呢?因为理想是沙漠中的绿洲，是暗夜里的灯光，是吹响生命的号角。
liu shahe once said “the ideal is a rock and win a spark;the ideal is fire and light the extinguished lamp; the ideal is a lamp to illuminate the road ahead;the ideal is the way to the dawn.”诗人流沙河曾说过：“理想是石，敲出星星之火；理想是火，点燃熄灭的灯；理想是灯，照亮夜行的路；理想是路，引你走向黎明。”
young people can’t live without ideals. ideals can make your life hopeful and shining .springs always run into the pond. streams always long for the sea;seeds always look up to the tree.青少年失去理想，生活就会失去光彩，生命就会枯萎。有了理想，生活就会充满希望，生命就会闪光。山溪的理想是大海，泉水的理想是池塘，幼苗的理想是栋梁。
we are the cross-century young people. we are the beach-goers of a new era.so we should have our own dreams.作为万物灵长的人，作为跨世纪的青少年，作为新时代的弄潮儿，我们就更应该有理想。
now youth is coming to us.youth is the spring of life,the sun of morning ,thriving,bright and colorful.youth is the golden age of life,full of energy,exploration,pursuit and creation.我们大家正处于风华正茂，年富力强的青春时期。青春正是人生的春天，早晨的太阳，蓬蓬勃勃，灿烂火红，绚丽多彩。青春是人生的黄金时代，充满活力，富于探索，勇于追求，敢于创造。
youth can make sand become pearls, make stone become gold.in the youth world,dry branches can grow new leaves,the desert into an oasis.this is the beauty of youth,the happiness of youth.the duty of youth.在青春的世界里，沙粒要变成珍珠，石头要化成黄金。青春的魅力，应当是枯枝长出新叶，沙漠变成绿洲。这才是青春的美，青春的快乐，青春的本分！
young friends,it’s very lucky for us to meet to esoteric universe,the information society the changing day.青少年朋友们，科学的时代，深奥的宇宙，信息的社会，多变的春秋，一天一个样，一时一个气候。
in order to reveal the secret of life and realize their ideals and pursuits,we must throw away troubles and sadness,grumbles and sighs,pessimism and despair.为了解开生活的秘密，实现自己的理想和追求，我们要丢掉烦恼和忧伤，丢掉埋怨和叹息，，丢掉悲观和失望
we should have the courage to come out of the narrow little world,come out of the square ,hole of money.hand in hand,side by side,move forward tegether.从狭隘的个人主义小天地里勇敢的走出来，从金钱的方孔里勇敢的走出来…挽起理想的手臂，挽起知识的手臂，昂首挺胸的向前走。
we know each of us is only a bunch of sunshine, but together,that is a sun,a spring.each of us is only a bunch of fiber,but together,that is a huge sail.we can push our motherland forward.我们每个人都是一束阳光，合起来就是一轮太阳，就是一个春天！我们每个人都是一束纤维，织起来便是一叶巨大的风帆，就可以推动祖国的航船前进。
dear students,we are descendants of dragon; we are descendants of hua xia;we are the flower sea of may.we can embrace the future with our youth.同学们，我们是龙的传人，是华夏子孙，是五月的花海，我们应该用青春拥抱未来。
in front of us,it’s the dawn of the new century.we are just young.we should study hard with the ambition to go beyond the ancients.前方，是新世纪的曙光，是我们的用武之地。我们正当青春年少，应该以超越古人的雄心壮志努力学习，艰苦奋斗。
we should work hard and water the ideal flower with sweat.we should explore our future with our hands,because we are young.we can have many ideals.用辛勤的汗水浇灌灿烂的理想之花，用拼搏的双手去开拓祖国美好的未来！
that’s all.thank you for your listening!我们的演讲到此结束，谢谢！
