【英语演讲比赛主持稿】Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, teachers, and students. It's a great honor to welcome you all to the English Speech Contest. Today, we have gathered here with a shared passion for the English language, and we are excited to witness some outstanding performances from our participants.

As the host of this event, I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who has contributed to making this competition possible. To the organizers, the judges, the volunteers, and especially the participants – your efforts and dedication have made this day truly special.

This contest is not just a platform for showcasing speaking skills, but also an opportunity to express thoughts, share ideas, and inspire one another through the power of words. Each speaker has prepared a speech on a meaningful topic, and we are looking forward to hearing their unique perspectives and voices.

Before we begin, let me briefly outline the structure of today’s event. First, each participant will deliver their speech in front of the audience and the judges. After all speeches are completed, there will be a Q&A session where the judges may ask questions to the speakers. Finally, we will announce the winners and present the awards.

Now, without further ado, let’s get started. Our first speaker is [Name], who will speak on the topic of [Topic]. Please give him a warm round of applause.

[Proceed with the rest of the event as per the schedule.]

Thank you all for being part of this memorable occasion. We hope that every participant has gained confidence, and every audience member has been inspired. Let’s continue to support and encourage each other in our journey of learning and growing through the English language.

Once again, thank you for joining us today. Have a wonderful time, and enjoy the rest of the event!
