导语：其实，很多拖延的人太过关注自己一时的情绪，比如觉得自己不开心了，得放松一下，上上网……然后就开始了拖延。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语演讲稿，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!
Say Goodbye to Procrastination
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!
Have you always been reluctant to go to bed in the evening, while reluctant to wake up in the morning? Have you ever stayed up late to finish your homework? Do you often put off your important work later and later? If your answer is YES, my friend, you might have a bad habit . It’s called PROCRASTINATION.
What is procrastination? Basically, it is the act of putting off essential tasks until a later time. That is to say, you are lazy to do things in immediate time. For example, 3 weeks ago, Li Wei told me that I could deliver my C5 speech on March the 1st , that is today. I said OK, no problem.! Of course, “3 weeks” to me, that’s enough time to prepare a good speech. However, until last Wednesday, Li Wei reminded me again about my speech, and asked me to give the title before Friday. Then I suddenly felt nervous, “ oh my god! There’s only one week left for me to prepare, I must get started tomorrow!” The next 2 days, I was so busy looking for a right topic, but my head was like twisted, ended up with no idea. Until Saturday morning, I could finally send a title to Li Wei”Don’t Be Lazy”, just like to catch the deadline. But just after that, I found nothing interesting to write about this topic. You know what? At last, I had to change the title again the very next day. This whole thing made me very upset. I started to question myself, why couldn’t I prepare the speech earlier? Why should I suffer from such stress and anxiety? Am I lazy? Or just too confident to finish my task until last minute?
I tried to understand the reason of my bad mood and the awkward situation. I surfed the internet, and learned this word Procrastination. I found it is a very common phenomenon already popular from our school time! According to an academic survey, 80%-95% school students engage in procrastination, about 75% considering themselves procrastination. The worse thing is, this bad habit grows with us, from school time to our future career and life, preventing us from doing things efficiently, weakening our ability to achieve our goals, bringing us panic and even mental illness. There are some simple reasons for this. Such as, the task seems too difficult , time is not enough, lack of knowledge or skills, fears of making mistakes, and so on. There are also some complex reasons like perfectionism, low frustration tolerance, and lack of self-confidence.
Is it possible for us to overcome procrastination? Yes. We can do it step by step.
Step 1, acknowledge that you are delaying a task;
Step 2, list the reasons why you are delaying the task;
Step 3, discuss the reasons and list ways to overcome them;
Step 4, begin the task immediately!
In order to do this successfully, you need to write down your task in a visible place, and put it on the wall with deadline marked. Try to break the task into components, small goals will be easy to achieve. “To earn a 100 million first” is a good idea. Then you need to tell everybody about your goal, they will motivate you along the way. And try to encourage yourself all the way by rewarding yourself for a job well done. All these useful tips will help you.
My dear friends, procrastination is our enemy, like a thief stealing our time and dreams. Overcoming it will do you a great favor in terms of study and life. Whatever we need to do, just do it now! Action is most important. If you want to go travel, take action! If you want to learn driving, take action! If you want to keep fit, take action! If you want to show your love to somebody, take action! If you want to fire your stupid boss, take action! If you want to do a speech, take action! If you want to say goodbye to PROCRASTINATION, take action!
Thank you.

告别拖延
女士们，先生们，晚上好!
你一直不愿意在晚上睡觉，而不愿意在早上醒来?你熬夜熬夜完成作业了吗?你经常推迟重要的工作吗?如果你的回答是肯定的，我的朋友，你可能有一个坏习惯。这叫拖延。
什么是拖延?基本上，它是推迟基本任务直到晚一点的行为。也就是说，你是懒惰的事情做即时的时间。例如，3个星期前，李威告诉我，我可以提供我的C5演讲三月一日，即今天。我说好的，没问题。!当然，“3周”对我来说，有足够的时间准备好演讲。然而，直到上星期三，李威再次提醒我，我的演讲，并要求我在星期五之前的标题。然后我突然感到紧张，“哦，我的上帝!离我只有一周的时间了，我明天就要开始了!接下来的2天里，我忙着找一个合适的话题，但我的头却扭曲了，最后一点也不知道。直到星期六早上，我终于可以给李威发个标题“不要偷懒”，就像赶上最后期限一样。但在此之后，我发现没有什么有趣的关于这个话题写。你知道什么?最后，第二天我又换了个标题。这整件事让我很难过。我开始问自己，为什么我不能提前准备演讲?我为什么要承受这样的压力和焦虑?我懒惰吗?或者只是太自信了，直到最后一刻才完成我的任务?
我试图理解我心情不好的原因和尴尬的处境。我上网，并学会了这个词的拖延。我发现这是一个很常见的现象，已经从我们学校的时间!根据一项学术调查，80% - 95%的学生从事拖延症，大约有75%的人认为自己拖沓。更糟糕的是，这种坏习惯伴随着我们，从学校时代到我们未来的职业生涯和生活，阻止我们高效地做事，削弱我们实现目标的能力，给我们带来恐慌甚至精神疾病。有一些简单的原因。例如，任务似乎太困难，时间不够，缺乏知识或技能，害怕犯错误，等等。也有一些复杂的原因，如完美主义，挫折容忍力低，缺乏自信。
我们有可能克服拖延症吗?对.我们可以一步一步地做。
第1步，承认你正在拖延一项任务;
第2步，列出你推迟任务的原因;
第3步，讨论原因，列出克服它们的方法;
第4步，立即开始任务!
为了成功地做到这一点，你需要写下你的任务在一个可见的地方，并把它在墙上的最后期限标记。尝试将任务分解成组件，小目标就容易实现。“先挣1亿英镑”是个好主意。然后你需要告诉每个人你的目标，他们会激励你前进的道路上。试着奖励自己一份工作做得好。所有这些有用的技巧将帮助你。
亲爱的朋友，拖延是我们的敌人，就像小偷偷走我们的时间和梦想。克服它会对你的学习和生活有很大的帮助。不管我们需要做什么，现在就做!行动是最重要的。如果你想去旅行，采取行动!如果你想学习开车，采取行动!如果你想保持健康，采取行动!如果你想向某人表达你的爱，采取行动!如果你想解雇你愚蠢的老板，采取行动!如果你想做演讲，采取行动!如果你想对拖延说再见，采取行动!
谢谢您.
