　　中学生英语演讲稿：我和镜子

　　I like to look into the mirror. I remember when I was

a little girl, I often stood on my toes, trying to find

my face in the mirror of the dressing table, which was

nearly as high as I was. Now I still like to look into

the mirror. Only now, the dressing table is too low for

me. As I bend down, I see the face of a young woman,

glowing with maturity, confident in her future and

fascinated with her own reflection.

　　The fact that I like to look into the mirror has to

do with my granny with whom I spent most of my childhood.

I remember clearly that one night I heard her murmuring,

"Women can't be seen. Women can't be seen." I was so

confused as to look into the mirror the next morning to

check if I could indeed see myself. Only now as a young

woman myself, can I understand that it was not physical

visibility that granny had on her mind.

　　Granny spent all her life taking care of the family,

day in and day out. She cooked for her husband and 10

children. But whenever guests came, she and other female

family members had to eat by the stove in the small

kitchen. At family discussions, she was never asked for

her opinion. After grandpa passed away, she had to listen

to my uncle, her eldest son, fulfilled her duty as

daughter, wife, and mother; yet as a person, she remained

little noticed. Even though she could see herself in the

mirror of the dressing table, she was never visible in

the mirror of society.

　　I have been living a different life. At home, I make

decisions together with the rest of the family. In

school, I often take charge of various activities the

same as other boys and girls. Not only that, I can see

something granny could not have dreamed of─making

decisions for my own future. My life has been a series of

decisions. I could choose from several universities as I

came out of high school. At university, I could choose

from a range of subjects from English literature to

business law. And now upon graduation, I am again faced

with decisions─to further my study or to go to work; to

stay in China or to go abroad; to get married right away

or to remain single for a bit longer.

　　It does not matter whether or not I will become

famous or rich, but I will treasure the chance to

demonstrate my potential and to help other women

demonstrate theirs as full members of society, fully

visible in the mirror of history. I will treasure it

because the abundance of choice that I enjoy came only

after decades of efforts made by my granny, my mum, and

millions of other Chinese women.

　　However, the choices to be made by me and others of

my generation are a great challenge. The misconception

that men are superior to women is still dominating many

people's minds. While men are encouraged to compete and

to assert themselves, we are expected to be quiet, loyal

and obedient. This is not very different from what is

expected of us as good wives and good mothers. The

challenge we face calls for a higher level of our

personal development and self-determination.

　　The story of my grandmother and myself mirrors the

lives of millions of other women in China and perhaps in

the world. Many of them still lead the life of my

grandmother. Their worth is not yet recognized. It is the

responsibility of a young person like me to work hard and

struggle hard so that they too will see themselves and

will be seen in the mirror of society.
