《英语演讲作文》章节摘录[E]
Do Lucky Numbers Really Bring Good Luck?Good morning，
ladies and gentlemen！
Today it is my great honor to be here and give my speech about
lucky numbers.
Many people believe that some numbers are lucky numbers and
some are bad numbers. They claim that lucky numbers like6， 8， 16，
and 18， or any numbers ending in 8 can bring them good luck， while
bad numbers like 4 can bring disasters. They think the lucky
numbers have magic power， and their success or failures are
related to certain numbers. That is why we can see the number 8 is
so popular on most price tags in our country. Some people pay much
more money for their telephone numbers or car plate numbers with
an 8 or 6 in them. But do the socalled lucky numbers really bring
good luck?
Well， as far as I am concerned， this belief is superstitious
and ridiculous. Take the number 8 for example， it is believed to
be the lucky number only because its sound happens to be identical
to that of the word of "make a fortune" in Cantonese. This is just
a coincidence. There is no connection between sound andsense. Just
as Shakespeare once said， "If we call a rose by any other name， it
would smell sweet as well." Indeed there is nothing mysterious
about lucky numbers. A number is a thing，and good luck is another.
They have nothing to do with each other. How can you ever have any
good luck simply because of some lucky numbers even if you don" t
work hard， don" t have good opportunities or don"t get along well
with the people around you? Numbers were invented by mankind， so
they should serve people instead of being our master and
controlling us.
As a matter of fact， I think those people who depend on lucky
numbers for their fortune or success lack
self-confidence.Remember， it is not numbers that bring good luck;
it is our hard work， our own ability and our strong will that help
us succeed.
As for me， if my number in this speech contest were 4 or 14， I
would not be frightened. Or if it were 8 or 18， I would not be
overjoyed， either. What I will do， and that is actually what I am
doing now， is to try my best to demonstrate myself，to speak out my
mind， and to be the master of my own destiny.
Thank you very much！
