中学英语演讲:Feet, the Carriers of Life
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
I would like to tell you about an unusual assignment. I was surprised and amused when our teacher told us our homework was to wash our feet carefully .
Yeah, washing the feet is such a common daily activity that I’ve never paid much attention to it. My feet had been cooperating and helping each other, nearly always managing to get washed, while I was enjoying my readings. But that night, while I gently touched my feet in the hot water, I realized how nice and cozy bathing my feet could be.
Deep in my mind, the hands always seemed superior to the feet. People use all sorts of things from soap to moisture cream to protect their hands. The feet become, kind of, neglected, since the feet spend all day long with the ground and dirt, and quite inevitably, get really smelly.
As I slowly soaped and rinsed my feet, I was beginning to understand why my teacher launched such a mission. She wanted us to realize that the feet were more helpful than we had ever imagined.
Surely, the hands are important. However it’s the feet that carry your whole body weight, and everything about your life. 文章来自yingyu6.com
The feet carry you, as well as your hopes and dreams, and walk steadily upon the most solid ground, moving forward step by step, upon mountains and down valleys, over the smooth as well as the rough, through the bitterness as well as the joy.
As I was washing my feet, I let my mind wander. I felt as if I was on a vast desert. Looking around, I saw millions of footprints, large and small, deep and shallow, being the marks of existence, and the traces of life. And there I was, using my own feet, making my own path, towards the oasis of life……
Thank you.
女士们，先生们，上午好！
我想告诉大家一份不寻常的家庭作业，老师布置我们当晚回家认真给自己洗一遍脚，听到后，我感到惊奇而有趣。
是啊，脚，我每晚必洗，但从未重视过。洗脚时，我津津有味地看着书，任双脚摩挲，互帮互助。但今晚，当我的双手触摸到自己的双脚时，是多么的舒服、惬意啊！ 文章来自yingyu6.com
心中，总是觉得手比脚高贵，人们用香皂洗手，并抹上护手霜，百般呵护；而脚踩在地上，即使有鞋袜，也总被认为是与灰土打交道的粗笨一族，并有不可避免的异味，脚，似乎成了身体中被忽视的部分。
我仔细地洗着脚，渐渐地，我明白了老师的用意：她布置这个特殊的任务，是为了让我们认识到脚，其实比我们想象的更伟大。
无可争议，手固然重要。可脚却承担着你生命的全部重量。 文章来自yingyu6.com
脚，负着你，你沉甸甸的希望和梦想，踩着踏实的大地，一步一步地前进，走上了高山也走下了峡谷，走过了平坦也走过了崎岖，走过了苦难也走过了幸福。
我在洗脚，手脚依偎，恍惚间，我仿佛置身于广袤的大漠中。环视四周，一串串大大小小深深浅浅的脚印，这是存在的证明，生命的印迹。而我用自己的双脚，开辟着自己的道路，向生命的绿洲前进…… xiao688.com旗下英语路
