Early Bird Gets the First Worm this is my 2 minutes‘ speech in English test the next tuesday. Can you help me? This is a historical proverb which was first seen in John Ray's writings in 1670. It means that the first person who does something early has the best shot at success or that opportunities are available to the first competitors. “Early bird gets the first worm” is a positive attitude towards life, and it also tells us that we should make full use of our time. Just take myself for an example. When I was in the senior, my life was full of diligence. I have many memories about that unusual period of time. I got up at 6 in the morning everyday just except the Sunday. In the winter, the moon is still on the sky. Then I caught the bus to begin my study. I really learnt a lot of things in that time, and that was the richest time in my life. As a result of my hard work, I went into the CCNU. However the diligence goes far from me. Now, I got up at 7:30 and even till 8 sometimes. If the first class is about to over, ok, no problem, I’ll still at bed when the second class begins. Day after day, I don’t feel enrichment but the blankness. I even don’t have any improvements in these two years! When I ask myself:”what’s wrong with my life? ”, I thought the answer is that I don’t make full use of my time. An English proverb says, “Lost time is never found again.” Time is so precious that cannot be purchased with money. If you catch your morning time, your whole day is scheduled. So, get up early to appreciate the magnificent scenery of sunrise, and make full use of your time, make your life rich.
