Humanism keeps reminding us the consequence of abusing the immense power of technology and the great responsibility we undertake.　　As human, we are deeply conscious of our mon humanity. There is no way we can walk away without being tortured by our conscience after we did so many damages on nature or other forms of life. Therefore, we modify our behavior to what we think its humane. In this way, we gradually achieve the ultimate harmony between human and nature.　　In fact, humanism has done much more than just making our conscience clear. It actually saves us from destroying our planet. We all know that we cant upset the balance of nature without a price although sometimes people choose to neglect the consequences and give in to the desire of fortune.

It gives us a unique opportunity to be wise and act in ways that elevate us above the animal kingdom. It retains our humanness. It prevents the world from being destroyed because of our destructive instinct. So ladies and gentlemen, let passion fill your sails, but let humanism be your rudder.　　五分鐘英語演講稿篇三　　Honorable judges, ladies and gentleman, good morning.　　I want you to tell me something.

However, when I hear the word faith, the thing it reminds me of is so remote and intangible. In this rich and peaceful era, there arent as many disasters or wars, especially for us young people whose lives are much easier and wealthier than our fathers. So is faith gradually losing its significance in the human world nowadays?　　Like many of others, I used to think of faith as of no importance at all, and I deemed myself as a faithless person. I thought I can live my life perfectly fine without intentionally grasping something as my faith. Until one day I met an American Christian named John, who later became a very good friend of mine. John is an extremely faithful Christian, and he thinks of Jesus Christ as his lord. He, as a pastor, tried to convert me into a Christian when we first met. So he lectured me with his extensive knowledge of history and philosophy every time we hung out. In spite of his amazingly detailed description of the history of Jesus, what really got me intrigued is not the story he told, instead, is John himself as probably the first and
