ladies and gentlemen , good afternoon! i‘m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is ―youth‖. i hope you will like it , and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it. first i want to ask you some questions: 1、do you know what is youth? 2、how do you master your youth? youth youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ;
it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ;
it is the freshness of the deep springs of life . youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . nobody grows old merely by a number of years . we grow old by deserting our ideals. years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust . whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ?s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what‘s next and the joy of the game of living . in the center of your heart and my heart there‘s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young . when the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80. thank you!
asking the devotees of civil rights, "when will you be satisfied?" we can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. we cannot be satisfied as long as the negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. we can never be satisfied as long as a negro in mississippi cannot vote and a negro in new york believes he has nothing for which to vote. no, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousnelike a mighty stream.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return. But what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.
A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.
The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
A person's life is like a ship traveling on the sea, sometimes in the opensea worthiness of vessels required to control the direction, if in the rightdirection, the ship was at most small wind Xiaolangdi sloshing about the hull.If the direction is wrong, may be to swallow the tsunami, in any case, the shipcan not be plain sailing.
I'll tell you a story now: the invention of light bulb before Edison hadspent thousands of filament materials have failed to do, abusinessman ironicallyhim: You are not manufacturing the lamp, you tested thousands of materials didnot any success. Edison replied: No, I at least have proved that 1000 kinds ofmaterials are not suitable to do filament. I read this story very touching, Ithink Edison put it best. Even if Edison failed thousands of times, so what? Himultimately successful. As the saying goes: Failure is the mother of success.There is no "failure of the mother," How has "successful son." With thousands ofEdison "failed mothers, will be no" success "to you? Eat one graben, a gain inyour wit. And eating are thousands of Edison Graben, one of thousands oflong-chi. If you do not eat graben, how long Moses? Edison With a few thousandtimes that have experienced failure before they tap the door to success, so thathe immortalized the great inventions.
I am studying childhood bike too, I have said many times from the bike felloff, but then my heart just want a word: failure is the mother of success. Irode well may have a bad hand grip, and so on Board unwieldy. I tried again andagain a variety of methods, finally succeeded
Indeed after a person before anything will fail, only in the failure of thecourse of lessons, the experience of piling up, you can succeed. Failure is alsoa growing part of。

我要告诉你一个故事：在爱迪生度过了灯丝的材料成千上万的灯泡的发明都没有做到，一是他：你不是制造的灯，你试验了上千种材料没有任何成功。爱迪生回答：“不，我至少已经证明了1000种材料都不适合做灯丝。我读这个故事非常感人，我认为爱迪生把它最好。即使爱迪生失败了几千次，那又怎样?他最终成功。俗话说：失败是成功之母。没有“失败的母亲”，如何拥有“成功的儿子”与成千上万的爱迪生“失败的母亲，将没有”成功“对你?吃一个地堑，获得你的智慧。和吃成千上万的爱迪生，成千上万的长期。如果你不吃地堑，多久摩西?爱迪生有几千次，经历了失败，才成功的大门，使他不朽的伟大发明。
我也在学习童年的自行车，我说过很多次从自行车上摔下来，但那时我心里只想说一句话：失败是成功之母。我骑得好可能有一个坏的手把手，所以板笨重。我试了一遍又一遍的各种方法，终于成功了
确实在一个人面前什么都会失败，只有在失败的过程中吸取教训，积累经验，才能成功。失败也是成长的一部分。
Ladies and Gentlemen: My topic is Honesty.
As a correspondent of the Qingdao Morning News, I visited Dr. James Gilman, the President of the International Committee for Marco Polo Studies in England. In this picture, this is James, and this is me and we are looking at a dragon’s tooth. This is a true story.
65 years ago, James lived in Qingdao. Then he was only 5 years old. He often visited the Aquarium and was fascinated by a creature on display there, which he thought was a dragon. He was afraid of its sharp teeth and wanted one to keep as a treasure.
In the late 1930s, when the Japanese occupied Qingdao, his family had to leave. On his last day in Qingdao, he ran to the Aquarium and pulled out one of the teeth from the dragon’s mouth.
He kept the tooth for the next 65 years, but the feeling of guilt at having stolen it was there in the background all through his life. It was always on his conscience, and the feeling intensified as he became older. Finally he decided to put right his childish error. In 20xx, he visited Qingdao and returned it to the Aquarium with his sincere apologies. He received a warm welcome.
When James visited Qingdao, I accompanied him all the time and reported on his visit. I was deeply touched by his honesty. It has taught me a lot. I think to err is human. The important thing is to have the courage to admit and correct one’s error.
Honesty is a vital quality of human behaviour. So we should try to keep an honest mind in everything we say and do. I would like to say to all of my friends: Let’s be honest people of good moral character.
Thank you.
I love hometown
My hometown is not known, but in my eyes, the rivers and mountains of his home, plants are the most beautiful. Do not believe? Listen to me then to introduce the Four Seasons bar!
Spring dream home just as the baby woke up, it looked Zhang curious eyes of the world: the swaying willow of hair, grass from the land out of the small head, is also pressing wildflowers River from the ground up, the light emitting fragrance. Flying Swallow flew back from the South, and chirp in the branches and calls, and the spring air is filled with every corner.
Summer, the home was surrounded by lush trees, thick foliage in brilliant sunshine all the more lush. Cicadas in the trees kept the "cicada, cicada" singing, old people leisurely sitting under a tree, slowly shaking fans, and children eating ice cream, chasing each other in the streets, playing, and to add hot summer endless vitality.
Fall, like put home a golden dress, blowing in the wind, the leaf pieces flying in the air. The golden fields of corn, rice farmersuncle's face shine with the joy of the harvest, from the height look down, ah! Good a golden world.
Winter, the snowflakes floating in the air to put on a white home.the streets of the thick snow, step up a "creak" sound, children with snowmen, snowball fights, and that the laughter turned into a cold winter's well-being of the park.
I love the rivers and mountains of his home, plants, love every one of its sky, every inch of land, each stream. It is willing to develop faster, and build the United States and more. I feel my hometown proud!
my hometown is lhasa, the largest city on the roof of the world. it is the heart and soul of tibet. i think lhasa is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. it is surrounded by towering mountains and rarely a day goes by when you don’ t see the deep blue sky. lhasa river is flowing quietly around the city.
lhasa is the mixture of tradition and fashion.
firstly, lhasa has a long history. it is the political, cultural and economic center of tibet. it has lots of famous sights to offer. the potala palace is the most famous, a magnificent and wonderful place to look at. in my opinion it is a unique artistic achievement of the tibetan people. likewise, the architecture, carvings and paintings throughout the city show hard work, wisdom and bravery of our people.
secondly, led by the reforming and opening policy of china, lhasa has changed a lot. many new things have arrived up here, changing the face of the city. the old and new lie side by side in lhasa.
many new buildings, schools and roads have been built here. furthermore, the qing—zang railway leading to lhasa is being built. many shopping centers have been opened, and modern technology like telecommunications is spreading. the whole city looks prosperous, and our tibetan people take on a new look. every festival, people walk around freely on the new, wide and smooth streets, wearing the beautiful traditional costumes.
right now, i am looking forward to a festival called shodün which comes in june for eating yoghurt. at this time, all my family and i gather for a picnic together at the norbulinka, a famous garden. in the garden, we sing tibetan songs, dance “guo zhuang” on the grass; eat zanba, drink butter tea and barley beer on the beautiful carpet as well. we enjoy our life. i think that this festival exhibits the open-minded and optimistic character of the tibetan people.
finally, “i love my hometown. i love the people in my hometown.”.
thank you.

acquires new meaning in today's era (时代) of change. The road to successstarts from the beginning, and our world is one full of competitions, If onlychildren have never had any setback, in the long run they won't bear any setbackor failure in life. Some setback early on may make them ready for verychallenging issues at a later date.
有些人认为只有孩子不需要挫折的经验，是trmes变了，只有儿童不应受到严格的要求。在他们看来，经历挫折使这些敏感的孩子感到被压迫者(战败者)。因此，只有对不起孩子精神上有害其心理wellWeing(心理健康)。但有些人却持相反的意见。他们声称，挫折经验，有利于独生子女。鼓励儿童实践弱点的技能和能力的工作，并完成其目标，让他们用实际和竞争激烈的社会。通过一些挫折走向可能会有助于他们对未来的个人性格形成。
在我看来，挫折的经验，应紧急主张(倡导)。挫折经验，取得今天的时代(时代)变革的新的意义。从一开始的成功之路开始，我们的世界是一个充满竞争，如果只有孩子从未有过任何挫折，从长远来说，他们将不承担任何挫折或失败的生活。早期的一些挫折就可能使其成为非常具有挑战性的在日后的问题做好准备。
I enter tile university after years of hard study and preparation. But life in the university is not as satisfactory as what I had expected. I become lazy and don't want to study.I become silcent. I become puzzled. I don't know what I can do in the future. Then I become unhappy.
Four years in the university is only a short period when compared my whole lifetime. Now it has passed a half. In this year, many people ,such as my parents,my friends, ask me what I want to do and tell me to map out a plan for my life.
I believe in our future Honorable Judges, fellow students: Good afternoon! Recently, ther is a heated debate in our society. The college students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education at extraordinary places. But will we be able to face the challenge and support ourselves against all odds? Will we be able to better the lives of others? Will we be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of our country? The cynics say the college students are the pampered lost generation, which would cringe at the slightest discomfort. But the cynics are wrong. The college students I see are eagerly learning about how to live independently. We help each other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take part time jobs to supplement our pocket money. The cynics say we care for nothing other than grades;
and we neglect the need for character cultivation. But again, the cynics are wrong. We care deeply for each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth. Last week, thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer. As college students, we are adolescents at the critical turning point in our lives. We all face a fundamental choice: cynicism or faith, each will profoundly impact our future, or even the future of our country. I believe in all my fellow classmates. Though we are still inexperienced and even a little bit childish. I believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challenge and take on our responsibilities. We are preparing to assume new responsibilities and tasks, and to use the education we have received to make our world a better place. I believe in our future.
Are you happy? Do you remember a time when you were happy? Are you seeking happiness today?
Many people have sought a variety of sources for their feeling of happiness. Some people have put their heart and efforts into their work. Too many people turned to drugs and alcohol. Untold numbers have looked for it in the possession of expensive cars, and other popular toys. Most of their efforts have a root in one common fact : people rare looking for a lasting source of happiness
Today , some people think that an expensive car is stimults . Happiness is a response , and so on .This belief leaves us thinking and feeling : I will be happy when ……
But , I believe that happiness is a sttimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy ,when we are happy ,we tend to have more success in our work . When we are happy , people want to be around us and enjoy loving relationship . When we are happy , wo more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health . Happiness is not a response ----rather , it is a stimults .
Happiness is a conscious choice we make everyday of our lives . We usually get things we want after we choose to be happy . I think you can make only one simple rule for your own happiness . Every day above ground is a good day . Therefore , I tend to have a lot of good days in successsion!
Only mother love is true love .It's gives everybody everything in all his life ,When you are still a baby ,mother takes good care of you as much as possible.In your waking hour she always holds you in her arms.When you are ill,she stop her work right now to look after you day and night and forgets about herself.When you are growing up day by day,she feels very happy.When you are old enough to go to school,mother still looks after you all the time.On cold winter days,she always tells you to put on more clothes.She always stands in the window waiting for you back from school.When you are hurry to leave home for school for breakfast ,she feels worried about you at home.She usually knows about your study and spends much money on your school things .When you do well at school .you will see the brightset smile on her face.
Mother is ailways ready to give everything she has to her children ,not to receive.
What true love that is in the world !We will remember Mother love forever .
Every one of us,rich or poor,should at least have one or two good friends.My friends will listen to me when I want to speak,will wipe my eyes when I cry,will take care of me when I am sick,and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.
It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth, even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.
A careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life; a timely word may level stress; a loving word may heal and bless.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with a tear. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.
There was once a guy who suffered from cancer, a cancer that can?'t be cured. He was 18 years old and he could die anytime. All his life, he was stuck in his house being taken cared by his mother. He never went outside but he was sick of staying home and wanted to go out for once. So he asked his mother and she gave him permission.
He walked down his block and found a lot of stores. He passed a CD store and looked through the front door for a second as he walked. He stopped and went back to look into the store. He saw a beautiful girl about his age and he knew it was love at first sight. He opened the door and walked in, not looking at anything else but her. He walked closer and closer until he was finally at the front desk where she sat.
Schoolmates:
When you look the lovable animated cartoon, plays is in a stew human's computer games, rides the fast train, is answering transoceanic telephone time, ......Not only your might once realize the science the strength, the science changed this world, also changed our life, the science side us.
Opens for the 20th century the grand chapters, not only we discovered the humanity to experience the blood and the fire baptism in these hundred years, has created the innumerable scientific miracles. 19th century France famous science fiction writer of fiction verne fictionalizing, at that time let the human be inconceivable, he fantasized moon landing travel, the airplane, the long-range gun and so on, all 11 became the reality in the 20th century. In the 21st century today, the high tech is ubiquitous.
As cross-century one generation, how posture should we adapt the new century by, the load get up the new century heavy burden? Not only science and technology changing with each new day, causes the science to serve for the most advanced technique, also more and more many seeps to during ours daily life, this needs us who is in the young people time to deeply love the science, the study science. Participation science and technology “five small” competition, reading science and technology books, caused me to understand many truths. The precise robot, does not use the fuel the automobile, the hypothesized soccer game, high tech information transmission and so on, each one vivid interesting phenomena, aroused me to explore the science the desire.
Our each people all want to study the science, the dissemination civilization, while enjoys the new life, must create the new life, now, the technical product renewal speeds up unceasingly, the visible television, the computer surfer, the pacemaker, already did not calculate was fresh. Vacuum cleaner invented which from 1901, to the artificial earth satellite, carried the human spaceship, the science and technology demonstrates the formidable strength in the different domain. Electronic industry, communication technology daily popularization, nanotechnology, superconductivity material widespread application, soon one day, perhaps in yours dinner table, can appear likely bio-engineering foods and so on outer space green pepper, man-made beefsteak. Studies the science and technology, is not merely in order to become the scientist, also is for can adapt the life, more has been able to become the new century the master, the load gets up the new century, is the national construction, makes the contribution for the human culture.
Since new China had been established, our country's technical development progresses by leaps and bounds, the synthesized insulin, finishes a job plants, the hybrid rice again, explodes atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb, launch satellite and airship and so on, these technical achievement which focuses attention on the common people, reduced our country and the advanced countries science and technology disparity greatly, has poured into the vigor for our country's modernization. Grandpa Deng Xiaoping said “the science and technology is the first productive forces”, indeed so, the science has inserted the wing for our motherland soaring. Chairman Mao Zedong once said to the youth that, the world was you, also is we, but is your in the final analysis. This speech, has been full of the elders to our earnest expectation. If the elders have constructed the 20th century motherlands with the industrious work, that, we should by the knowledge, get up the new century heavy burden by the scientific load.
Schoolmates, we are being at the growth developmental stage, the study science, lets us start since childhood. We must learn each kind of literacy class diligently, because this is all study foundation; At the same time, to each kind the popular science books, the publication which suits our elementary student to look, should better read some in the after school; Also should begin to do each science small experiment, the small manufacture positively, writes the science small paper and so on, raises to the science interest. Long this gets down, we can certainly deeply love the science, has the rich scientific knowledge. Humanity's wisdom is infinite, regardless of is US's Challenger number detonation, the whole world computer virus' promotion, always all cannot prevent humanity's advance in technology. “The knowledge is the strength”, Bacon this sentence enjoys great popularity the maxim did not know had driven how many earnestly seeks the knowledge human. Now, lets us also use it to encourage oneself, makes one to deeply love the science the new generation, the load gets up the new century heavy responsibility, for our motherland tomorrow, will compose a more magnificent poem!
Thanks everybody.

Thank you very much.
The East and the West, Let’s enjoy the combination of the two cultures? Kipling said:“East is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet!” But now, a century later, they have met. They have met in business. They have met in education. They have met in the arts. Some people will argue that these meetings will leave us with a choice between east and west, but I believe that the best future lies in the creative combination of both worlds. We can make western ideas, customs and technology our own, and adapt them to our own use. We can enjoy the best of both worlds, because our tradition is, above all, one of selecting the best and making it our own. I love Beijing and Hennan opera because it always reminds me of who I am. But I am also a fan of pop music, especially English songs. So I have combined eastern melody with western language. It is called western henna opera. When two cultures meet, there may be things in one culture, which do not fit into the tradition of the other. When this happens, we need to learn to understand and respect the customs of another culture. Then there are certain things some people may not like. To this, I will say, if you do not like it, please try to tolerate it. To learn to tolerate what you personally don’t like is a great virtue at a time when different cultures mix and merge. Before us, there are two rivers, eastern and western cultures. At present, they may run in different courses. But eventually, they will converge into the vast sea of human culture. Right now, I can see peoples of eastern and western cultures, standing side by side, singing the Olympic theme song: we are hand in hand, heart to heart, together we will shape a beautiful tomorrow! Thank you!
he values Americans live by may seem strange to you. As a result, you mightfind their actions confusing, even unbelievable. This is my opinion aboutAmerican Value. Whether you agree with me or not - or is willing to accept asvalid any generalizations about Americans - my observations arethought-provoking.
Americans do not believe in the power of fate, and they look at people whodo as being backward, primitive, or naive. In the American context, to be"fatalistic" is to be superstitious, lazy, or unwilling to take initiative.Everyone should have control over whatever in the environment might potentiallyaffect him or her. The problems of one's life are not seen as having resultedfrom bad luck as much as having come from one's laziness and unwillingness totake responsibility in pursuing a better life.
In the American mind, change is seen as indisputably good, leading todevelopment, improvement, progress. Many older, more traditional culturesconsider change disruptive and destructive; they value stability, continuity,tradition, and ancient heritage - none of which are considered very important inthe United States.
Time is of utmost importance to most Americans. It is something to be on,kept, filled, saved, used, spent, wasted, lost, gained, planned, given, evenkilled. Americans are more concerned with getting things accomplished on timethan they are with developing interpersonal relations. Their lives seemcontrolled by the little machines they wear on their wrists, cutting theirdiscussions off abruptly to make their next appointment on time. This philosophyhas enabled Americans to be extremely productive, and productivity Is highlyvalued In their country.
Equality is so cherished in the U.S. that it is seen as having a religiousbasis. Americans believe that all people are created equal and that all shouldhave an equal opportunity to succeed. This concept of equality is strange toseven-eighths of the world which views status and authority as desirable, evenif they happen to be near the bottom of the social order. Since Americans liketo treat foreigners "Just like anybody else", newcomers to the U.S. shouldrealize that no insult or personal indignity is intended if they are treated ina less than-deferential manner by waiters in restaurants, clerks in stores andhotels, taxi drivers, and other service personnel.
Americans view themselves as highly individualistic in their thoughts andactions. They resist being thought of as representatives of any homogeneousgroup. When they do join groups, they believe they are special. Just a littledifferent from other members of the same group. In the U.S. you will find peoplefreely expressing a variety of opinions anywhere and anytime. Yet, in spite ofthis independence, almost all Americans end up voting for one of their two majorpolitical parties. Individualism leads to privacy, which Americans see asdesirable. The word privacy does not exist in many non-Western languages. If Itdoes, it is likely to have a negative connotation, suggesting loneliness orforced isolation. It is not uncommon for Americans to say, and almost tobelieve: "If I don't have half an hour a day to myself, I go stark-ravingmad!"
Americans take credit only for what they accomplish as individuals. Theyget no credit for having been born into a rich family but pride themselves inhaving climbed the ladder of success, to whatever level, all by themselves. Inan English-language dictionary, there are more than 100 composite words thathave the word "self" as a prefix: self-aware. self-confident, self-conscious,self-contented, self-control, self-criticism, self-deception, self-defeating,self-denial. The equivalent of these words cannot be found in most otherlanguages. It is an indicator of how highly Americans regard the self-made manor woman.
Many other countries have developed subtle, sometimes highly ritualistic,ways of informing others of unpleasant information. Americans prefer the directapproach. They are likely to be completely honest in delivering their negativeevaluations, and to consider, anything other than the most direct and openapproach to be "dishonest" and "insincere". Anyone in the U.S. who uses anintermediary to deliver the message will also be considered "manipulative" and"untrustworthy". If you come from a country where saving face is important, beassured that Americans are not trying to make you lose face with theirdirectness.
As a matter of fact, the major American Value is distinct from Chinese. Weought to accept it when we communicate with Americans. Thus, we need makeourselves think globally and act locally.
This is a glass of water, tasteless, right? However if you add sugar, it will taste sweet, but if you add vinegar, it will become bitter. The same is true with our life____ the flavor is created by our choices. If kindness is added to a strange you will have a friend;
but if hostility is added, you will have an enemy. If love is added to a pile of red bricks you will have a home, but if hatred is add to those bricks , you will have an concentration camp. So my dear friends, never complain that life is boring and the world is disappointing. If don’t like the taste of your life, change the ingredients. Three year ago, I weighed more than 100 hundred kilograms which caused significant embarrassment and frustration in my life. Like always failing my P.E examinations, like always being laughed at by girls, like being terrified to speak in public. It was my grandmother’s encouragement that revived from my passive attitude to become confident in myself. She said “ My dear, if you can’t change you figure, why not treat it as your own style. So I began to cautiously employ the new way of thinking. By choosing to change my outlook on life, I developed the confidence to make a difference and finally I found a totally new world. So my dear friend, if faith, hope, love, endurance are added to your life, you will find the confidence to conquer your limitation and embrace new challenges. And hopefully with my speech included, you will have a fantastic speech contest.
Everyone is different in character, as if we are the students in the movie,the teachers are the coach, we are not excellent now, but the teachers willteach us according to our different characteristics and cheer us up to overcomethe difficulties.
Though we are not outstanding now, yet just study and trust each other,find out advantages and drop our disadvantages, lay stress on the teamwork andour own situation. It doesn’t matter that how far our dreams are and howdifficulties and setbacks there are on our roads . I believe we’ll succeed atlast.
每个人的性格都是不同的,就好像我们是学生在电影中,教师是教练,现在我们不是优秀的,但是老师会教我们根据我们不同的特征和克服困难使我们振作起来。
虽然我们现在不优秀,只是学习和彼此信任,找出优点放我们的缺点,注重团队合作和我们自己的情况。不管我们的梦想有多远,有困难和挫折在我们的道路。我相信我们会成功的。

Dear teacher and schoolmates,1t’s a great pleasure for me to be today and share my experience of learning English with you.I'm interested in English and hope to be an interpreter in the future.Naturally lt’s very important for me to learn English well .As everybody knows vocabular is an important part of language, just like bricksin a building .I usually memorize twenty new words a day and put them to use whenever possible . After class.I often listen to English programs on TV and on the radio .Besides ,I've learned a lot from the Internet and other sources.
Now.I'd like to make some suggestions on English teaching and learning in our school.Firstly ,we should be given more opportunities to use what we’ve learned ln order to have a better grasp of it.Secondly.I hope our teachers can recommend more interesting books and magazines and give us more free time to read them. Finally，1 suggest we have more Endish activities，such as English contests and festivals.
Thank you for listening.
Seeing my whole education history, I have many teachers. But my favorite teacher is only one. He is Mr Lu. He is my middle Chinese teacher and head teacher. He is about fifty years old. Maybe he works too hard, so his back is a little bent. He always wears a black glasses. He looks amiable but serious in study. He always thinks us before everything. His class is very interesting and full of different kinds of encouraging stories. He is very strict to us in study. But whoever has difficulties, he would help us without hesitation. Sometimes he plays the role of a strict teacher, sometimes he takes the place of a kind father.
As students,we could share more time with our friends.The friendship in our young hearts is pure,fresh and simple.I often feel very lucky to have a lot of good friends.Especially when I had Justin as one of my best friends.Justin was my English teacher from the USA.I met him in 1996 when I was a student who could only speak very little English.Justin was a vivid young man with a bright smile on his face,and he always had his special way to make the class active and attractive.He taught us English by telling stories,playing games,singing songs,and even dancing.I could still remember very clearly that one afternoon when we fin-ished our class,we went to some other classes to sing songs for them,just like what people do in the states on Christmas Eve.It was so interesting and unforgettable.Justin was an excellent teacher,because he taught us not only how to study English well,but also the way to find out the beauty of the world and the way to be angels to others' lives.I know there was friendship and pure love in our hearts.Facing this valuable emotion neither nationality nor age was important,the real importance lay in faith,under-standing,and care.Justin is the best friend I have ever had,and I know I will cherish those days of staying together with him as the best part of my memory.
Friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives.It is actually like a bottle of wine,the longer it is kept,the sweeter it will be.It is also like a cup of tea.When we are thirsty,it will be our best choice,but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves,it is also the most fragrant drink.
Respect teacher, dear students:
Everybody is good, the eye of my speech today is -- my youth!
First of all, I want to ask you that question, could you tell me the classmate of everyone, what is youth?
There must be many different answers. My answer is, the gorgeous flower, burning passion, ambition of an eagle, this is our youth. Youth, what a dazzling word. And four seasons in a year, in the same way, life is there are four seasons. Youth is like spring all the year round, is the season of planting, just went to the spring will come again next year, and youth is gone forever. Youth is the season of struggle not to waste life joke. Because the youth is so short, sometimes could recall, has gone with the wind. We can't afford to waste of youth, our youth beautiful because of the struggle.
My youth, my boss
If I were to ask everyone here, and your youth who is leading? You will say: my youth, my boss. Yes, our youth is our family. But I want to say is, our youth how to make decision. Is in the world of the game Still using QQ chat all day, or sleep to twelve o 'clock every day. My youth, my family, not called you to squander the youth, if in the game every day, your youth is not in your family, but the game in charge of your youth. We through the cold window study hard twelve or thirteen years, came to the university, may not be admitted to our ideal university, may have no choice to our own like professional. This is not the reason why we fall, is not the reason why we waste youth. My youth, my boss. Not want us to squander our youth, wasted our time. But to make decision, we struggle of youth, youth encouraging words.
My youth, my dream!
Since talk about youth, you must be without dream. We brought the dream of university, but like a lot of people forget our initial dream. Not surf the Internet every day is just hanging around, on this day one day just hanging with the game, gradually lost our dream, willing to fall, willing to ordinary. If you forget their original dream, if not forgotten dreams, and whether in the struggle for your dream? This world is never lack of visionary, lack is practitioner, have a dream to strive, to achieve them. My dream is to become a senior engineer, although very far away, but I never give up, has always been striving for a chase. Distant dream on the fly, the wings up to chase. In order to their dreams, struggle! Don't be hesitated.
My youth, my family!
My youth, I struggle with!
My youth, I no regrets!
My speech. Thank you all!
good evening, ladies and gentlemen:
i’d like to start with a group of pictures.
"modern and advanced"? this society forgets, and ignores the other twothirds of human beings. it's far from the ideal! we call ideal as a utopian, aplace where reality does not exist. a few people still look forward to theideals. we make fun of them, considering they are naive. will we still becontent to live in such a society, if misfortune drops to us? no! of causenot!
when we feel the warmth of the sun, these people, endure great sorrows andpains. can we imagine that? they are our brother and sisters!
facing them, will we still complain about our own misfortune?
facing them, will we still have the mood shouting for our own freedom?facing them, will we still want to have more and more unnecessary stuff?
they are unable to meet their needs, even the basic needs of survival!everyone, as a member of humanity, shouldn't feel ashamed? our luxury deprivedtheir lives, our indifference violated our soul, and our barbarity destroyedhuman civilization!
what's the ideal society? it's a society no one worries about their living,a society no one is refused from education, a society everyone can pursuehis/her own happiness! the ideal society is filled with love, joy and kindness.in that society, we can touch the other's hearts, we can share our dreams andmost important, we can just be the true men!
let's break the ethnic divide, bridge the gap between rich and poor, handin hand, to build a great wall, protecting us from evil; to construct a steadybridge, connecting reality to the ideal society! let's pursue for that, that'sthe only way to the bright future! they are watching us! thank you!
smoking is a greater cause of death and disability than any single disease,says the world health organisation.
according to their figures, it is responsible for approximately fivemillion deaths worldwide every year.
tobacco smoking is a known or probable cause of approximately 25 diseases,and even the who says that its impact on world health is not fully assessed.
heart attack and stroke
uk studies show that smokers in their 30s and 40s are five times morelikely to have a heart attack than non-smokers.
president clinton, senator clinton, president carter and mrs. carter, president bush and mother governor and mrs. huckabee, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen: laura and i are really pleased to be a part of this happy and historic occasion. on this day of dedication, we honor the man from hope, arkansas, who became the 42nd president of the united states. mr. president, congratulations.
this presidential library chronicles a vivid era in american history, for the benefit of future generations. it will contribute to the vitality of this fine city and to the great state of arkansas. the collections here record the dedication and hard work of thousands, who brought talent and idealism to public service. and at the center of that era, at the head of that administration, was an able and energetic american. president bill clinton led our country with optimism and a great affection for the american people, and that affection has been returned. he gave all to his job, and the nation gave him two terms.
in the early 1990s, the american people saw a young, well-spoken, relatively unknown governor rise to national prominence. yet for decades here in arkansas, the signs of destiny were clear. when young william entered a new school in the 4th grade, a classmate recalls, "he didn't mean to, but he just took the place over." when governor clinton declared his candidacy for president in this city, his close friends were not surprised in the least. they'd always known that bill clinton's moment in history would come.
arkansas is a state that knows political skill when you see it. a fellow in saline county was asked by his son why he liked governor clinton so much. he said, son, he'll look you in the eye, he'll shake your hand, he'll hold your baby, he'll pat your dog -- all at the same time.
over the years, bill clinton showed himself to be much more than a good politician. his home state elected him governor in the 1970s, the 1980s, and the 1990s, because he was an innovator, a serious student of policy, and a man of great compassion. in the white house, the whole nation witnessed his brilliance and mastery of detail, his persuasive power, and his persistence. the president is not the kind to give up a fight. his staffers were known to say, "if clinton were the titanic, the iceberg would sink."
I have a dream
Every one has his own dream.When I was a little kid ,my dream was even to have a candy shop of my own .But now ,when I am 16 years old ,standing here ,my dreams have already changed a lot.
I have got quite different experience from other girls.While they were playing toys at home,while they were dreaming to be the princesses in the story .I was running in the hard rain,jumping in the heavy snow,pitching in the strong wind.Nothing could stop me ,because of a wonderful call from my heart -- to be an athlete.Yeah ,of course ,I'm an athlete,I'm so proud of that all the time .
When I was 10 years old ,I became a shot-put athlete.The training was really hard ,I couldn't bear the heavy shot in my hands .But I always believe that "god only help those who help themselves".During those hard days,I find I was growing more quickly than others of the same age.To be an athlete is my most correct choice.But,I quit my team after entering high school because of a silly excuse.I really didn't want to stop my sports career anyway.
Today I say to you my friends that even though I must face the difficulties of yesterday ,today and tomorrow .I still have a dream .It is a dream deeply rooted in my soul.
I have a dream that one day ,I can run,jump and pitch just like I used to be.
I have a dream that one day , I can go back to my dream sports and join the national team.
I have a dream that one day ,I can stand on the highest place at the olympic games.With all the cameras pointing at me.I will tell everyone that I'm so proud to be a Chinese athlete!
This is my hope .This is the faith that I continue my steps with!!!
With this faith ,I will live though the strong wind and heavy rain ,never give up !
So let victory ring from my heart,from all of you.When we allow victory to ring .I must be the one!
In my imagination,I'm a bird ,a magical bird.I carry my dreams all with me by my big wings. I fly though the mountains ,though the forests ,over the sea,to the sun ,the warmest place in the aerospace!
Every night ,I have a dream ,I see a girl ---smiling
this is a glass of water, tasteless, right? however if you add sugar, it will taste sweet, but if you add vinegar, it will become bitter. the same is true with our life____ the flavor is created by our choices.
if kindness is added to a strange you will have a friend; but if hostility is added, you will have an enemy. if love is added to a pile of red bricks you will have a home, but if hatred is add to those bricks , you will have an concentration camp.
so my dear friends, never complain that life is boring and the world is disappointing. if don’t like the taste of your life, change the ingredients.
three year ago, i weighed more than 100 hundred kilograms which caused significant embarrassment and frustration in my life. like always failing my p.e examinations, like always being laughed at by girls, like being terrified to speak in public. it was my grandmother’s encouragement that revived from my passive attitude to become confident in myself. she said “ my dear, if you can’t change you figure, why not treat it as your own style. so i began to cautiously employ the new way of thinking. by choosing to change my outlook on life, i developed the confidence to make a difference and finally i found a totally new world.
so my dear friend, if faith, hope, love, endurance are added to your life, you will find the confidence to conquer your limitation and embrace new challenges. and hopefully with my speech included, you will have a fantastic speech contest.
the east and the west, let’s enjoy the combination of the two cultures?
kipling said:“east is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet!” but now, a century later, they have met.
they have met in business. they have met in education. they have met in the arts. some people will argue that these meetings will leave us with a choice between east and west, but i believe that the best future lies in the creative combination of both worlds. we can make western ideas, customs and technology our own, and adapt them to our own use. we can enjoy the best of both worlds, because our tradition is, above all, one of selecting the best and making it our own.
i love beijing and hennan opera because it always reminds me of who i am. but i am also a fan of pop music, especially english songs. so i have combined eastern melody with western language. it is called western henna opera.
when two cultures meet, there may be things in one culture, which do not fit into the tradition of the other. when this happens, we need to learn to understand and respect the customs of another culture. then there are certain things some people may not like. to this, i will say, if you do not like it, please try to tolerate it. to learn to tolerate what you personally don’t like is a great virtue at a time when different cultures mix and merge. before us, there are two rivers, eastern and western cultures. at present, they may run in different courses. but eventually, they will converge into the vast sea of human culture.
right now, i can see peoples of eastern and western cultures, standing side by side, singing the olympic theme song: we are hand in hand, heart to heart, together we will shape a beautiful tomorrow! thank you!
ladies and gentlemen , good afternoon! i’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. i hope you will like it , and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.
first i want to ask you some questions:
1、do you know what is youth?
2、how do you master your youth?
youth
youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . nobody grows old merely by a number of years . we grow old by deserting our ideals.
years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .
