国庆节英文演讲稿

本文为大家收集整理了《国庆节英文演讲稿》供大家参考，希望对大家有所帮助！！！

1. Tomorrow，we celebrate our 38th year of independence. 62

years is a short history for any country. But we have come a long

way. 62 years ago，we were a poor country trying to create as many

jobs as we could to feed our people. There was no Changi Airport，no multinational corporations or financial centre，no defence

capability of our own. Only 60% of our people were literate. Only

11% of our students progressed beyond secondary school. Few

people thought we could succeed，or even survive. But we

overcame the odds. By working hard，finding our own solutions

and tying our futures together as a people，we transformed

Singapore into what it is today.

2. We now face renewed challenges as a nation. Terrorism is

a real and continuing threat. Our economy has also been hit by the

global economic slowdown，and more recently by SARS. Even

after our economy recovers，we will face formidable competitors，especially in China and India.

3. We can overcome these challenges. We have faced up to

many challenges before，especially when independence was first

1 / 3

thrust upon us. We are in a stronger position today than in 1965.

We have a skilled population，a world-class infrastructure，and the

confidence of international investors. Most importantly，we are a

united people，determined to meet challenges together.

THE FOUNDATION OF SUCCESS：ONE UNITED

PEOPLE

4. A strong nation is not just made up of individuals，however talented. It rests on our collective efforts as one people.

5. Our experience with SARS is a good example of how we

can overcome great challenges if we work together. All

Singaporeans played a part in fighting SARS - the doctors and

nurses in our hospitals，defence engineers working on the thermal

scanners，the cleaning staff in our buildings and food centres，and

everyone of you in our schools.

6. Our schools can take pride in how we stood up to the

challenge of SARS. It has been a massive task to monitor the well

being of more than half a million pupils and give their parents

confidence in the safety of our schools. Our principals，teachers

and other school staff rose to the challenge，calmly and

meticulously. As pupils，you played your part well，by taking your

temperature daily and exercising responsibility to prevent the

spread of the disease. Even our Primary 1 and 2 pupils learnt how

2 / 3

to take their own temperatures with the guidance of their teachers.

The fact that a very large majority of parents sent their children

back to schools as soon as we reopened them was a major vote of

confidence，especially in our teachers.
