就职英语演讲:新任班主任对同学的讲话
A New Head Teacher’s Address to His Class
My dear fellow boys and girls, my friends,
When I stand before the teacher’s desk, or, I would rather say when I stand on the stage, it seems to me that the purple curtains of both sides are drawing open gently. And on this occasion a play full of vigor is on its way. To my extreme happiness, you all, Class Two of Senior Grade One will perform the play who, I think, will be loyal to your performers each. The play may be one of the longest plays in the world, because it will last three years till your whole period of senior grade.
Because of all these, I would like to be a warm-hearted announcer. I would like to take the opportunity to declare that the play by Class Two Senior Grade One begins.
Above all, I think, as a head teacher of your class, I should be a well-qualified director. I am eager to direct plays full with modern atmosphere. The key tune will be unity, intentness, earnestness and liveliness. The main contents will be comprehension, friendship and love each other, pioneering and creativity. The main story will be the love of collective and collective of love. As a director, I will carefully design attractive plots, typical characters and striking stories for all of you. Now today every one of you present shows us your own brilliance as you can.
The stage belongs to you. Of course you are the leading roles. I will be willing to be a supporting actor and try what I can to serve you all. I will share the enjoyment of your success silently.
Moreover, I will be willing to be a pious audience who would like to smile, tear, and applause for your wonderful performances. I will be willing to shake hands with you all with heartfelt words: Congratulate you on your success.
When you say goodbye to your middle school life in the end in the three years and when you ascend the stage of life, you will feel greatly that what you get from the class are so valuable to you. What an unforgettable period of your life you have in the class!
After three years when our curtains of the class close, I would like to hear your remark on my work; Mr. Lie, you are our qualified director as well as a very good supporting actor, and you are still the audience we all like.
Thank you for your applause. From you applause I can see your comprehension and support, although the curtain just begins.
Let me wish to have our smooth and successful cooperation!
亲爱的同学们、朋友们：
当我站在这讲台上，不，应当说是舞台上，我似乎觉得两侧的紫色帷幕缓缓拉开，最富有生气的戏剧，就要开始了。最令我兴奋的是，这戏剧拥有一群忠于自己角色的演员，那就是高一（2）班的全体成员！这戏剧也许是人世间最长的了，因为要持续三年时间，那是整个高中阶段。
为此，我愿意做一名热情的报幕员，此时此刻向观众宣布：高一（2）班的戏剧开始了！
我想，我这个班主任首先应该是一名合格的导演，我渴望导出充满时代气息的戏剧来：团结、紧张、严肃、活泼是它的主调；理解、友爱、开拓、创新是它的主要 故事。作为导演，我将精心设计出生动的情节、典型的角色、迷人的故事奉献给所有的演员──今天在座的每一位，但你们要最大程度地开发你们的才华。
这舞台是你们的，你们是当然的主角，我心甘情愿地做一名配角，尽我的力量竭诚为主角服务、效劳。而在你们成功的演出中，我只想默默地分享一点点成功的快慰。
不仅如此，我还要做一名最虔诚的观众，为你们精彩的演出微笑、流泪、鼓掌、欢呼，我愿意握住每一个人的手，诚心诚意地道一句：祝贺你的成功。
三年之后，当你们最后与自己的中学时代告别，将要登上人生的大舞台时，你们会深深地感到，这小舞台所给予你的一切是多么珍贵，这是一段多么难忘的人生旅途。
三年之后，当我们高一（2）班的戏剧舞台徐徐落下帷幕的时候，我愿意听到你们这样评价我的工作：列老师，你是我们满意的导演，也是一名不错的配角，更是我们喜欢的观众。
谢谢大家的掌声，从掌声中我感到了你们的理解和支持，虽然序幕刚刚拉开。
预祝我们的合作顺利、成功！
