尊敬的老师，亲爱的同学们：
Distinguished teachers， dear fellow students:
上午好！
Happy to see you guys on this pleasant morning！
我们是九（1）班的陆思睿、梁超，很荣幸站在国旗下演讲，我们今天演讲的题目是“自律伴我成长，拼搏成就梦想”。
We are Lu Sirui and Liang Chao from Class 1 Grade 9. We are honored to have the chance to speak here. The topic we are going to talk about today is “grow up with self-discipline and achieve our dreams with hard work”.
当九月的秋阳为大地铺满金色的光芒之时，时间的律令告诉我们，为我们人生梦想拼搏的时刻已经到来。作为初三的学生，我们开启了走进中考的新学年，也开启了自己人生的奋斗之年。
Autumn is an amazing season and September is an amazing month. When the autumn sun shines in the sky and earth is covered with golden sunlight. It reminds us to fight for our own dreams in this wonderful time. As Grade Nine students， We start the new term for senior high school， and it’s also the year for us to struggle for our lives.
今年中考，我校成绩骄人，深得各界认可。我们的校长领导有方，我们的老师敬业博学，我们的同学和谐友爱，我们的校园美丽如画。新的学期，新的起点，我们初三学子，带着一份好的心情，让我们的梦想从这里起航。
With the wise leadership of our principal， profession and devotion of all our teachers and harmonious and friendship among our fellow students this summer， Qidong Qidi Foreign Language School achieved great success in senior high school entrance examination. As a result， our school is deeply trusted by all walks of life. The new term is a fresh start. With our smiling face， Let’s start from this moment with our dreams.
当我们踏进启外校园，不再终日享受父母的呵护，却有了启外老师们和同学们的关爱，正是在这些关爱中，我们健康成长，更渴望成功。
Leaving our home for Qi Di means we are away from our parents and their care. However， with the attention and care of our teachers and fellow students， we grow up healthily and we long for success.
要成功，必须先自律。只有自律，才能自立，才能自强，才能成功。据心理学研究表明：一个人能否成功，自制力的影响是智力的2倍还多，自制力决定我们的成绩。如果不自律，不想努力，就想想这三类人。想想父母，为了抚养我们，付出了很多很多，承受了多少生活的压力；想想同龄人，比我优秀的同学都在拼搏，我还有什么理由放弃自己的人生追求；想想自己，少年时的贪玩，就会造成青年时的无为，一辈子的失败。
To achieve success， we have to be self-controlled. Only in this way， can we improve ourselves and depend on ourselves. A research showed that self-control is the key to success instead of intelligence. Some of us may ask why should we work so hard? Our overworked parents， excellent fellow students around you and also your own future shaped by what you are doing now， all these may explain why.
该奋斗的年龄，不要选择了安逸，不是每个人都能成为自己想要的样子，但我们可以努力，成为自己想要的样子。没有谁的青春是在红地毯上走过，我们所吃过的苦，担过的责，扛过的罪，忍过的痛，终将变成光，照亮我们前行的路。记住：自律者出众，懒散者出局。
Not everyone can be what they want to be， but we can work hard and become what we want to be. No one's youth is walked on a red carpet. The pain we have suffered， the responsibility we have borne， the sins we have carried， the pain we have endured， will eventually turn into light and illuminate our way forward. Remember， those who discipline themselves will excel； those who slack off will be out.
要成功，还要做好以下几点。一要增强时间观念，明确奋斗目标。结合自身实际，合理安排，制订好学习生活计划，常设小目标，长期坚持，确保自己的目标一个一个地实现。二要注重学习细节，如主动预习学习内容；上课全神贯注，高效利用课堂时间；课后复习整理，优秀的学生，每个科目都有自己的错题本。三要养成四种深度思考习惯：系统学习习惯、追根溯源习惯、常识思维习惯、深度阅读习惯。
To succeed， we also need to do as the following points. First， we must enhance the concept of time and clear goals which we struggle for. Combine with our own reality， make reasonable arrangements， formulate a good plan for our study life， set small permanent goals， and stick to them for a long time to ensure that our goals are achieved one by one. Second， we should pay attention to learning details， such as taking the initiative to preview learning content， paying full attention in class and using class time efficiently and reviewing and organizing what we’ve lesrnt after class. To be an excellent student， an error book is necessary. Third， we must develop four deep thinking habits: systematic learning habits， the habit of tracing the roots， the habit of common sense thinking， and the habit of deep reading.
同学们，在这里学习，我们沐浴在浓浓的师爱里，与师者并进，与高手并肩；我们吃苦耐劳，勤学思考；我们夯实基础，提高能力。让我们增强拼搏意识、竞争意识，用勤奋铺平通向成功的道路，用拼搏增强跃上明年中考金榜的实力，相信2024年中考我们定会众望所归，再为母校增添光辉。
All my classmates， in this school， we are bathed in the love of our teachers； we are alongside teachers and masters； we are hard-working and hard-thinking； we are consolidating our foundations and improving our abilities. Let us enhance our sense of hard work and competition， pave the way to success with diligence， and strengthen our strength to leap onto the golden list of next year's secondary school examinations with hard work.I believe that we can win honour for our school in 2024.
最后请同学们跟着我们一起高呼：
Finally， please follow us and chant.
志存高远，脚踏实地，奋力拼搏，全力以赴，亮剑中考，我要成功！
Aim high and keep your feet on the ground， work hard and give it your all， take the exams and we will succeed！（I want to be successful， I want to be ambitious， I want to be practical， I want to work hard， I want to do my best， I want to succeed！）.
我们的国旗下演讲到此结束，谢谢大家！
This is the end of our speech under the flag， thank you！
新学期新气象，新开始新梦想，启迪外国语学校全体师生满怀信心与希望，以饱满的热情与激情迎接新学期的新挑战，脚踏实地、坚持自律实现梦想！
