英文口语考试一分钟演讲（通用3篇）
亲爱的老师、同学们：
我经常听大人们说：“爱祖国，爱家乡。”可我一直以为这只是一条广告用语，根本就不当做一回事。直到有一件事彻底改变了我的想法。
记得有一次，我在放学回家的路上买了一根香草牛奶味的冰棍儿吃，我打开冰棍儿袋子随手一扔就不管了，然后我一边吃着冰棍儿，一边美滋滋的回家。这时，我看到前面有两位老人，一位坐着轮椅，一位推着轮椅。哦，推轮椅的老人不就是张爷爷吗?
忽然，老人看见一个小纸团，张爷爷弯下腰，捡起了小纸团，轻轻地放入了旁边的垃圾箱里，又推着轮椅走向远方。看到这一幕，我不禁脸红了……想到我刚才随手扔的冰棍儿袋。我以一秒的时间跑回来，看到我刚才扔掉的冰棍儿袋还在静静的躺在地上呢。我涨红了脸，也弯下了腰，捡起了它放到了垃圾箱里。
爱祖国，爱家乡。让我们从小事做起，让我们一起行动起来吧!
我的演讲完毕，谢谢大家！
hey would complain if your economic support is not up to their expectations. the love from uncles and aunties would naturally dwindle after they have had their own children. only the love from grand-parents and grand parents-in-law is pure and demands no repayment, and they are also too old to wait for any repayment. as for the distant relatives, their love depends on their needs, just as the old saying goes “the poor have no friends even if they live in downtown while the rich have distant relatives even if they live in deep mountains”.
granny liu, a distant kinsfolk, in a dream of the red mansions , claims kinship with the wealthy jia family, thinking that she may benefit from it in some ways. liu might have run away without any traces if the jia family had been a poor one. another saying goes “close neighbors are better than distant relatives.” the most difficult is to manage the relatives when doing business together, just as what the tv series program liu laogen discloses. it is all right to stay poor together, but as soon as the business grows prosperous, the group will become estranged and even dissolve because of the unfair distribution. family love is like a maze which we shouldn't go too far into it, otherwise, we'll surely get lost. love is a bilateral matter and unilateral love can only lead you to nowhere in spite of your good intentions. family love is, sometimes, like an arranged marriage, leaving no choices to you. due to the different experiences and tastes, staying together temporarily can be entertaining, while living together for a long time can only be boring due to the lack of common interest and understanding. how can we communicate with each other without understanding?
love is varied and changeable, but roughly it can be divided into three categories: family love, fraternal love and amatory love. not like monkey king who jumped out of the rocks, we were all born after mother's pregnancy of about nine months, hence we have countless relatives without any choice: parents, grand-parents, and grand-parents-in-law, uncles and aunties, brothers and sisters, etc. and once looking at the genealogical tree, we'll see no end. family love is what everyone longs for, but the warmth and support from our beloved ones are what everyone yearns for the most. but how many of us are determined to contribute to our beloved one? and how many don't expect repayment and relaxed. conscience even if they have the desire and preparation to contribute to their beloved. the distance between relatives is different and so are their expectations. but since it's very difficult to know how much we should expect, a lot of worries and distresses emerge.
parents always expect their children to show their filial obedience, or at least pay them frequent visits after they have got married. one's experience determines his ideology. young children are naturally attached to their parents, but when they grow up, specially when they have made their own friends, and got married, what they need most is independence and freedom, and parents sometimes might become their burden. once there is generation gap, it becomes more difficult to communicate and this keeps them away from their parents. objectively speaking, they need more independence in order to achieve success. in the present society, what the children want to have most is the economic support from their parents, not their moral support or guidance.
