大学生英语故事演讲稿：When the Clock Got Sick

Once upon a time, in a land not too far from where you live, there was a bank whose outside clock was the talk of the town(热门话题). Clocks usually don't cause people to talk about them, unless they're not working right. This clock wasn't working right at all.

The clock was a digital clock, meaning that it was the kind of clock with large neon(霓虹灯) red numbers that glowed both day and night. You could read the clock from an entire block away.

The clock sat prominently a few yards above the main doors to a respected bank, right on the corner of a major intersection(交叉，十字路口) in town. In some ways, the clock represented the very center of town.

One day, a few months ago, the time on the clock started slipping backwards a few minutes. At first this didn't cause any alarm. After all, if you are two minutes late, or two minutes early to an appointment, is there any harm done?

But then the clock's health got even worse. Not only did the clock slip back more than a few minutes, sometimes it would actually jump forward an hour or two, and then jump back to being a few minutes late. It was clear to everyone in town that this was a sick clock.

What do you do with a sick clock, though? Take it the clockerenarian? Take it a clockpital? Visit a clocktor?

You're right. Healing a sick clock is not an easy thing to do. First you need to find what's wrong with the clock, and then you need to find a place that sells the particular part that needs replacing.

The bank, being a respected bank, was eager to get the clock fixed and working again. The bank became even more eager after last month's birthday party.

You see, a young child on the way to a birthday party burst into tears when he looked up at the clock and realized that he was going to be late. On that day, the clock was running about two hours fast, and the child was in perfect time for the party. The child just thought he was late, because who would ever doubt the time on a public clock?

And then there was the whole wedding fiasco last week. A groom, on the way to his wedding ceremony, noticed that he was two hours early, so he stopped off at the cybercafe to do some web surfing. When he showed up to the ceremony two hours late, the bride and everyone else were not overjoyed to see him.

The straw that broke the camel's back, though, was last week when an army major was traveling through town. Being an army major, he would regularly adjust his wristwatch to make sure it wasperfectly on time. When he saw the clock above the bank, he immediately reset his watch three hours ahead of time. And the next morning he woke his troops at 3 AM to do their regular 6 AM ten-mile morning run.

The troops were not amused. And so they stopped by to pay a friendly visit to the bank manager. "Please, please, please repair the clock above the door of your bank," they spoke in military unison. "Each one of us would like to chip in $20 to repair the clock," they added.

The bank manager, a kindly young woman, promised that she would do whatever she could to find a part to repair the clock. She would even take the clock to a clockerenarian, if need be. And she had not ruled out the possibility of driving the clock straight to the clockpital, herself. Her own doctor had recommended some skilled clocktors that she could use when she received the replacement part.

Until the clock was repaired, though, she decided to switch off its electricity. For three weeks the lights on the clock were entirely dark. And then one day a UPS truck drove up the bank with a very small package. Inside that very small package was a very small part that made the clock healthy again.

The town sighed a huge sigh of relief when the clock was switched on again. And then everyone reset their watches and went on their merry way.

大学生英语故事演讲稿：Ellen The Eagle Needs Glasses

Ellen the eagle first suspected that she needed glasses the day that she swooped(猛扑)down out of the sky and grabbed a small lawn chair to carry back to her hungry children. When she arrived back at her nest, perched high atop a cliff, her oldest son said, somewhatsarcastically, "Great. Another lawn chair for breakfast. Just what we need."

Her husband, Ed, was more forgiving. He gently picked up the lawn chair with his beak and moved it over to the flat, back section of the nest. Then he sat down in the lawn chair, folded his wings comfortably behind his head, and lay back.

"Honey, you might want to go and have your eyes checked one of these days," Ed said. "It's easy enough to do, and only costs a mouse or two."

"I've been meaning to get my eyes checked," replied Ellen, "but you know how it is. Every day it just seems that there are new mice to catch, new things to do for the nest, and new nature shows to be in."

"True, the nature shows do put the dead mice on the table, but they take away from the hunting and stalking(围猎) I really like to do."

"I'll put it on my calendar as something to do next week. Although, I've got to say, I would feel a little self-conscious wearing glasses out in public. What would the other eagles say?"

"Honey, what other eagles think doesn't matter at all. It's more important that your eyesight be sharp and in focus. Anyway, these days they can fit you with contact lens that you hardly notice are even there."

Ellen sighed. Maybe it was time for her to get her eyes checked. Could she really afford to keep bringing back lawn chairs for her hungry children?

So the next day she flew over to the eagle optometrist(验光师) to have her eyes checked. The optometrist sat her down in a comfortable chair and asked her to identify the small animals on the tiny chart two miles away. "Mouse, chipmunk(花栗鼠), gopher(囊地鼠), squirrel, rabbit," she said, trying to sound confident. "It was difficult telling the difference between a mouse and a chipmunk. The shapes of these two animals were so similar."

"Okay, you did well on that line of animals," said the optometrist. "Now see if you can read the animals on the line below it."

Ellen concentrated all her mental powers on trying to see what the animals were on the next line. She could barely make out what the small animals were, so she made her best guess, "Hippo, elephant, giraffe, and rhinoceros(犀牛)," she said in a voice that lacked confidence.

"I'm sorry, but you missed a few animals on that line. Your eyesight is far below the normal 2000/2000 eyesight of regular eagles. I'm going to recommend you get glasses or contact lens."

"Can you tell me more about the contact lens?" inquired Ellen.

"These days they have contact lens that are far more comfortable and far less bother than they were in the past," the optometrist explained. "And we happen to have a sale on them this week."

"For three dead mice you can walk away with a pair of contact lens you can be proud of."

"Three dead mice?" declared Ellen in a surprised voice. "I thought you could buy a decent pair of contact lens for two dead mice."

"Well, it is true you could buy contact lens at other stores for two dead mice," replied the optometrist, "but they are inferior quality(低质量) contact lens. If you bought the cheaper contact lens, you might not be able to read the numbers on a license plate that was two miles away."

Ellen shuddered at the thought. Not being able to read the numbers on a license plate two miles away was a sure sign that an eagle's eyesight was fading.

"I'll take the three dead mice contact lens," she said quickly. As she flew out of the store she said to herself, "So it costs me an extra dead mouse. What's an extra dead mouse when you need to buy something to help your eyesight?"

Her husband Ed leaped out of the lawn chair when she landed on the nest. "Honey, you're back so soon. Did you get a new pair of glasses or contacts?"

"Sure did," Ellen replied with a renewed confidence in her voice. She hopped over to the back of the nest and casually nudged the lawn chair over the edge of the nest.

"No more lawn chairs in this nest," she announced smugly(自鸣得意地). "Only dead mice, rabbits, and fish are going to show up here in the future."

"Honey, I was just getting used to the lawn chair when you nudged it over the side of the nest. Do you think you could find me another lawn chair sometime?"

"No more lawn chairs in this nest, ever," said Ellen. "Okay, Ed, it's time we flew off to find something for the kids to eat for dinner. There's no use in just sitting around in lawn chairs all day."

大学生英语故事演讲稿：My elephant friend

A child became lost in a forest. He started to cry.

At that moment, an elephant passed by and saw him crying.

"Child, why are you crying?" the elephant asked.

"I've lost my mother," the child said.

"Don't cry. I'll stay with you until you find your mother," the elephant told him.

"Oh! My body is going up in the air. Wow! This is fun," the child said as the elephant gently picked him up.

The elephant put the child on his back. "Elephant, I want to go down, now," said the child.

"Ha, ha! Wow! Your trunk is like a slide!" the child exclaimed.

"This time, it's like a swing. This is so much fun. Ha, ha, ha!" shouted the child.

"Elephant, your ears are like cymbals(铙) . Cling! Ha, ha! How fun it is!"

"Let's sing a song. Hickory dickory dock! The mouse ran up the clock! The clock struck one, the mouse ran down! Hickory dickory dock! Cling!" sang the child.

"Uh? There's my mother. Mother, here I am!" the child shouted.

"Thank you, elephant. I had a good time. If we meet, again, let's play together some more," the child said.

The elephant was happy because the child had a good time with him. Also, he was very happy that the child found his mother.
