【一分钟英语小故事演讲（即兴演讲）】Good morning, everyone. Today, I want to share a short and meaningful story with you.

Once upon a time, there was a little boy who loved to draw. Every day, he would spend hours creating pictures of animals, trees, and even his family. However, no one really paid attention to his work. His teachers said his drawings were not good enough, and his friends didn’t understand why he spent so much time on them.

One day, the boy decided to enter a school art competition. He drew a picture of a bird flying in the sky, full of hope and freedom. To his surprise, his drawing won first place. Everyone was amazed by the beauty and creativity in it.

What made his drawing special wasn’t just the colors or the lines—it was the passion and belief he put into it. That day, he learned that even small dreams can lead to big achievements if you believe in yourself.

So, let’s all remember: never stop believing in your own talents. Even a small step can take you far.

Thank you.
