求一篇英语演讲稿Challenges and opportunities for college students in today`s competitive world?

Good morning /afternoon /evening, ladies and gentlemen, sorry, ”boys and girls” may be better .
It’s really a challenge for me to stand here today and you can see that clearly from my trembling voice .So there is no doubt that giving a speech fluently is a bigger challenge for me, who used to be a shy boy during my past 20 years.
Today I choose to face it, because I know this is just the beginning of my challenging college life .Many challenges are still waiting for me ahead .As a freshman, I have already feel the pressure from studying .Classmates and friends around me study hard just like our past senior middle school period . The dreamy college life is still in my dream. We have to admit that more students are gaining access to college with the help of expanded enrollment, but we can not fail to see the fact that the competition is much fiercer than before .Besides, the competitive world today has also brought the “Knowledge Economy”, which requires the effective use of knowledge for economic and social development, and also requires skilled and multi-oriented students with a marketable vocational sense.
But when we consider the problem in another point of view, we will find many opportunities for us college students. When a multitude of young men ,keen , open-hearted, sympathetic, and observant, come together and freely mix with each other, they are sure to learn one from another; the conversation of all is a series of lectures to each, and they gain for themselves new ideas and views, fresh matter of thought. In addition, the growing dimension of knowledge sources, such as the World Wide Web, library and multimedia sources provide us with opportunities for bringing out the creativity and talent that we have within us.
Ladies and gentlemen, as Charles Dickens once commented upon the time of the French Revolution, "It was the best of times; it was the worst of times." So it is with our time. I believe, if we can make full use of the opportunities and deal with the challenges correctly, we will make it sooner or later. Thank you!

challenges and opportunities for college students life is full of challenges. school has to be the most challenging obstacle in the lives of youth today. elementary school brings about a few challenges characteristic of those years spent there. there’s the challenge of coloring in the lines, a very real problem to any youngster. or how about the challenge of remembering to raise one’s hand before one speaks? there are hundreds of rules and regulations that govern these young children. the one thing that keeps these children in line is the hope of reward. yes ,this is the brass ring. the reward for a clean desk is an extra five minutes of recess! the prize for having all homework done, a shiny-new pencil topper! these small wonders keep small people in line. they make the children love challenge. middle schoolis not so easy. it is not easy for the students, and it also isn’t easy for the teachers. the challenge of staying out of trouble,or wrinting that research paper---these are the new confrontations of an older, wiser guoup. this clan has outgrown the recess and pencil-topper tricks. they know that their efforts have to bring them something really usefull, so mom and pop are pulled onto the scene. how does five, ten dollars for each “a” sound? or ,how about no telephone if one doesn’t do good in school? need i say more? by the time high school arrives, a student’s place in academic excellence or else their unlikelihood to even graduate has been established. little can be done now to make life’s challenges seem interesting ,especially where school comes in. the slothful are rewarded with a nice job at a gas station, a pregnant girlfriend, and a fifteen-year-old ford. the diligent are rewarded with an sat score of over 1100, acceptance into yale university,and a ticket to life. by meeting the challenges of school, sicking it out, and pulling through, they are given their greatest reward: success.
