以下是部分精彩演讲内容：

高一7班 惠雨彤

As we all know, it would be impossible for any poet to write beautiful poems before mastering basic writing skills, nor would it be possible for Archimedes to be bold enough to say “give me a level and a spot, and I can move the earth” before commanding a solid knowledge in physics and math.   

众所周知，如果没有基本的写作技能，任何人都写不出优美的诗句；如果没有扎实的物理和数学基础，阿基米德也不敢说：“给我一个杠杆和一个支点，我就能撬动地球。”

高一15班 彭一地

I suddenly realized that my basketball coach told me to do the same practice over and over again so that I can strengthen my basic skills. Because only with solid basic skills, can I advance to more demanding tasks. After that, I practiced eagerly and earnestly and with continuous efforts, I made remarkable progress in my basic skills.   

我突然意识到，我的篮球教练叫我不断重复同样的训练是为了强化我的基本技能，因为只有当我有了扎实的基本功，我才能进阶到高难度的动作。从此以后，我潜心训练，经过不懈努力，我的基本功得到了显著提升。

高一8班 汪琦杰

There was an old saying “More haste, less speed.”
I agree with it and believe it is true. When it comes to walk and run, what will you think? When we were little, we learned to walk first. When we are getting a bit order, running becomes natural for us. But what if we learn to run in the first place? The result is obvious. We would definitely fall.

古话说；“欲速而不达”。我完全同意。当说到“走和跑”时，你会想到什么？当我们小的时候，我们总是先学会走，慢慢地，等我们长大一些，我们才学会跑，并且跑对我们来说就是自然而然的事了。但是如果我们一开始就跑，那会怎样呢？结果是显而易见的，我们肯定会跌倒。

高一8班 邹林株

However, someone may say, the modern society is rapidly-developing, and life is like a race, so they think we should learn to run first and there is no need to waste time on slow walking. Do you think
that is right? I don’t think so. It is likely that those who learn to run first can save more time in the short term, but without the basic ability of walking, the ones who run the fastest are also the ones who might fall worst.

然而，有人可能会说，在现在这个快节奏的社会，人生就像一场竞赛，我们应当快速奔跑，根本就不应该浪费时间慢慢走。你认为这样对吗？我不这么看。乍一看，那些跑的人可以节约时间，可是没有扎实的基础，那些跑的最快的人最后也会摔得最惨。

高一9班 米弘坤

Sometimes we learn something new or face a new life, we should do them step by step. Don’t think too highly of ourselves. Everything should be done step by step. And each of us wants to be successful and each of us is moving forward. Some are walking and some are running. Although we run at different speeds, one thing is the same for us. That is, life is like a piece of land which is covered by newly fallen snow and each step we take will show.

有时我们学习一些新东西，或者是面对新生活时，不要对自己评价太高，我们要一步一步地向前。我们每个人都想要成功，一些人在走，一些人在跑，虽然我们的速度不同，但是有一件事情是一样的，那就是：生活就像一块被新雪覆盖的土地，我们所走的每一脚印都会显现出来。

高一12班 邓婉悦

You will never know how to build a house unless you have mastered the knowledge and skills you need; you will never know how to defeat a monster in a game unless you reach a high level; you will never know how to play the piano well unless you keep practicing for a long time.

如果你不积累关于建筑的知识和技能，你永远不会知道怎样去建造一座美丽的房子；如果你不一步步升级成为高级玩家，你永远不会知道如何去打败游戏中的怪兽；如果没有日复一日的刻苦练习，你永远不会弹出美妙的曲子！

高一15班 王玺雯

Since learning is progressive, we are supposed to start from the very first step and make each move steadfastly. Whenever you are eager to explore a new territory, please remember “learn to walk before you can run” and that will prevent you from many painful “bad falls”.

既然学习是一个循序渐进的过程，我们就应当抓好基础，稳步推进。无论何时你渴望探索的新领域，务必谨记“奔跑之前必学走”，因为它将使你避免栽很多不必要的“跟头”。
