课前英语演讲稿（精选26篇）
As everyone knows,English is very important today.It has been used everywhere in the world.It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade. If we can speak English well,we will have more chance to succeed.Because more and more people have taken notice of it,the number of the people who go to learn English has increased at a high speed.
But for myself,I learn English not only because of its importance and its usefulness,but also because of my love for it.When I learn English, I can feel a different way of thinking which gives me more room to touch the world.When I read English novels,I can feel the pleasure from the book which is different from reading the translation.When I speak English, I can feel the confident from my words.When I write English,I can see the beauty which is not the same as our Chinese...
I love English,it gives me a colorful dream.I hope I can travel around the world one day. With my good English, I can make friends with many people from different contries.I can see many places of GREat interests.I dream that I can go to London,because it is the birth place of English.
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.

我的家乡
我的家乡是拉萨，它位于世界屋脊。我认为拉萨是世界上最美丽的城市之一，它的周围是高耸入云的山脉，几乎你天天都能看到湛蓝的天空，拉萨河围绕着这座城市缓缓地流淌着。
拉萨是一个传统和时尚的结合体。
首先，拉萨有悠久的历史，灿烂的文化。拉萨是西藏的政治、文化、经济中心，并且有许多闻名遐迩的名胜古迹，布达拉宫雄伟壮观，金碧辉煌，是一个值得一看的地方，我认为它是西藏人民独特艺术成就，而且拉萨市的建筑、雕刻和绘画是西藏人民勤劳、勇敢和智慧的结晶。
其次，自改革开放以来，拉萨发生了很大变化，许多新事物层出不穷，改变了拉萨的面貌，古老与现代并存。
多种风格的建筑拔地而起，现代化的学校被建起，宽畅的公路被修建，通向拉萨的青藏铁路正在施工，现代高科技在拉萨延伸，整个城市呈现一派繁荣景象，拉萨人民呈现新的面貌，每逢节日，他们穿着节日盛装，自在地走在大街上。
现在我正期待着雪顿节的到来，这个节日在六月初，是一个吃酸奶的节日，当这个节日到来的时候，我和我的家人、朋友聚在一起在有名的公园-“罗布林卡” 里面野餐。我们在草地上一起唱藏歌，跳锅庄舞;踏着美丽的藏式地毯吃糌粑、喝酥油茶和青稞酒，享受我们幸福的生活，我认为这个节日展示了西藏人民开朗、乐观的性格。
最后，我想说“我爱我的家乡，我更爱我家乡的人民。”
谢谢!
扎西德勒!

Good morning everyone ,befor our class,I’m going to share something about basketball ,something about NBA.
As one of millions NBA fans ,I’ve been watching NBA games for about six
years ,for ,as you know ,the NBA court is really an amazing place where miracles happen frequently.Especially when there is a buzzer beater taking place at the end of zhe game ,it’s absolutely the most excting point in the game. Do you
know how popular the NBA is in China? Look at these pictures , celebrities from different fields are watching the game in the stadium. And this picture reflects how popular it is among college students.
No one may have never heared something about Kobe ,lenbron James ,jaordan, but I believe not everyone know the origin of basketball.
Dr.James Naismith, a Canadian who was teaching at Springfield College in Massachusetts needed to come up with a game to entertain the school’s rugby and football players during the winter months.
So he grabbed a peach basket he found in the janitor’s closet of the school and hung it on a railing about ten feet from the floor.
Every time the players made a shot though, they had to take down the basket and grab the ball, which became really annoying. Dr.Naismith decided to cut a hole in the basket so the ball would go straight through without having to dig it out all the time
The sport was an instant success and the popularity of this new game quickly grew. Althoough Nasimith never saw the game develop into the spectacular game we know these days, he had the honor to witness basketball become an Olympic sport at the 1936 Games held in Berlin.
A group of team owners met on June 6, 1946, in New York to talk about a league they would name the Basketball Association of America. This meeting was the beginning of what we know today as the NBA.
NBA’s full name is National Basketball Association
And today there are 30 teams in the association .And in recent days the regular season has began.And the games are very excting .If you have any interst , you could watch them in the morning everyday.
in the matter of courage we all have our limits. there never was a hero whodid not have his bounds. i suppose it may be said of nelson and all the otherswhose courage has been advertised that there came times in their lives whentheir bravery knew it had come to its limit.
i have found mine a good many times. sometimes this was expected--often itwas unexpected. i know a man who is not afraid to sleep with a rattle-snake, butyou could not get him to sleep with a safety-razor.
i never had the courage to talk across a long, narrow room. i should be atthe end of the room facing all the audience. if i attempt to talk across a roomi find myself turning this way and that, and thus at alternate periods i havepart of the audience behind me. you ought never to have any part of the audiencebehind you; you never can tell what they are going to do.
i'll sit down.

在勇气问题上，人人都有极限。从来就没有胆大包天的英雄好汉。我想，可以说，纳尔逊和所有那些被大量宣传的勇士，一生中都有勇气达到极限的时候。
我就多次发现自己的勇气到了极限。有时是意料之中的——经常是出乎意料的。我认识一个人.此君不怕与响尾蛇同寝，可你无法让他与保安剃刀共眠。
我从来就没有勇气在狭长房间的中央发表讲话。我得站在房间的一头，面对全体听众。如果我试图站在房间中央讲话，我就会不断地转身，这样，就不断有部分听众在我背后。你们永远不能让自己背后有听众;你们永远闹不清他们要干什么。
我得坐下了。
My Attitude towards to Marks 我的分数观
For our students， marks is above everything. Teachers will judge us from our marks. With marks we can be enrolled into junior middle schools. With marks， we can be enrolled into senior middle schools. With marks we can be enrolled into college. With marks we can be enrolled into postgraduate and doctrine studies. Still with marks we can be graded and be allowed to go abroad for further studies. Our parents will be strict with us with the marks. Our society judge us from marks. However， sometimes we students compare one another with marks directly. We are completely controlled by marks. We like them and we feel sorry for them. But what attitude towards our marks should we take？
Truly， marks functions cannot be underestimated. In terms of test in our study， marks are fair and real. That is the reason why we say ＂Everyone is equal before marks. ＂
However， I think marks are the sole standard to judge the success or failure of students in exams. Sometimes， marks more than ten or less than one or two in our exams comparing with others mean not everything. The success or failure in exams will be influenced by experience on the spot and the examinee’s health etc. Once in a while one cannot fail in exams. ＂ Success or failure is common sense for military. ＂ I think everyone is familiar with the famous saying. Don’t you think such will be the case with our study？ In exams， one cannot be ＂ never-defeated general＂ . Even though one will be very good in everyday study， he cannot succeed in every exam sometimes. We can get proof from the fact that the very best one we call ＂Number One Scholar＂ in the entrance exams for college and ordinary middle school and specialized secondary school over the years is not eminent above all others nor top student in every study.
As a matter of fact， ＂high marks＂ and ＂ability＂ are not unified. Some time ago， a new phrase ＂ high marks but poor competence＂ came into being. Once I happened to meet such a teacher as this .It is said that the teacher just graduated from a far-famed key university. But his teaching result is much less than that of the one who just graduated from a not-well-renowned college. When lecturing， the teacher only repeated what the text-books says， which was very dull so the his students’ interest in learning was not aroused. His teaching was short of unity of teaching and learning. At present there is a fact that we know a few brilliant and top college graduates are not qualified for their posts. The reason for it may be lack of the ability to combine knowledge learnt from books with pragmatics in their work. Students of this kind will be successful in every exam but they will be able to use freely their knowledge in their posts. Don’t you think it waste training such persons for the country？
To sum up from the above， I can say marks are not absolutely authoritative for some. If we neglect training and developing the students’ ability and competence and if we only seek for the high marks， we will be absolutely wrong. We should take an objective attitude towards the marks. Neither should we neglect them nor should we overvalue them like a God.
分数，对于我们学生来说，是至关重要的了。老师要用分数来衡量我们—上初中，要分数；上高中，要分数；上大学要分数，考研究生、博士要分数，出国、评职称还是要分数。家长要用分数来要求我们；社会用分数来衡量我们。
而我们自己也常常用分数在相互直接做着攀比。我们完全为分数所左右了，我们为它欢喜，我们为它丧气。那么，我们应该怎样对待分数呢？
的确，分数有它不可低估的作用。从检验学习的角度上来说，它具有一定的公平性和真实性，“分数面前人人平等”，讲的就是这个道理。然而，分数并不是估量一个学生成败得失的惟一标准。考试成绩偶尔低了一两分乃至十来分，并不一定说明什么问题。考试的成败有时也会受到诸如临场经验、健康状况等方面的影响。“胜败乃是兵家常事”这句话大概不会有人不知道，而我们在学习上又何尝不如此？在考试上很少有“常胜之师”，即使平时成绩再好的同学，也难免会有偶尔的失误。历届中考、高考“状元”并非就是平时出类拔萃的优等生的事实，便是明证。
事实上，“高分”与“能力”往往是不统一的。前段时间，社会上出现了一个新词：“高分低能”。笔者就曾经碰见这样一位教师，据说他毕业于某赫赫有名的重点大学，但从教学效果上讲，却远远逊色于一些非高等学府毕业的老师。其授课只是照本宣读而已，枯燥乏味，缺乏一种教与学之间的协调功能。根本不能引起听课同学的兴趣，目前不少大中专院校的高材生毕业后不能胜任他们的工作，原因就在于缺少将书本中的知识运用到实际工作中去的能力。这种人，尽管在学校中每每能考出高分，可无法在工作岗位上灵活白如地运用自己所学到的知识。国家培养出这样的“人材”，不也是一种浪费吗？
由此可见，分数并不如有些人想象得那么绝对和，忽视了对各方面才能的培养，只一味追求高分，是不行的。因此，我们应该客观地去看待分数，既不应过分轻视它，也没有必要把它看得过于神圣。

Good evening, everyone. My name is WangHaili. I am an outgoing girl who likes reading and traveling. It’s really my great honor to stand here and give everyone a short speech.
People say, youth is fire which is ignited by passion. People say, youth is a chapter of the poem which is written by stories. The color of youth is bright and we make most use of our ardor to draw the scenes to the canvas of painting. But we may be confused and lose our direction in the youth time. Under this, youth slips away. Roman Roland says, life doesn’t issue return ticket and can never come back once sets out. So we should seize the short youth time and try our best to pursue our ideal. Do what should we do and let our youth without regret.
When we refer to ideal, we will realize the importance of ideal. Ideal is the beacon,. Without ideal, we will lose the firm direction. Without direction, we will lose our life. According to this, every one of us should establish our own ideal .so that we have the direction of straggle to the future. Tolstoy tells us, we should have the life objective from the whole life to the second. So we should cherish every moment and form our systematic objective. Youth is the prime time. We have strong body and energy and can sense the meaning of life under the guide of ideal.
Individuals in the clabody, do not neglect your own existence, you are in claevery body part. You know, what you say will affect the class, everyone's heart.
Morning, you usually do not change with the same clothes, not a deliberate show, has long been greet others eyes, while she (he) did not show the share of excitement you might expect; noon, you buy the dumplings and not usually eat rice, this time, you certainly will not find other people's attention quietly into the heart of the Harbour; evening, you may have noted that you in the sports arena in robust posture from time to time lead to her (his) eyes appreciation ; lying about the meeting, or you are the central topic of the night. You know, you group everyone in love with you! They were destined to become a good friend in life your life.
Do not ignore the people around you who care about you? As long as you have them as your friend. If you experience any difficulties, think of friends around, think about the people around you that care, think about organization, think about your father, mother, think about your counselor, think about time for you hard working people. They are good-hearted, they are helpful, they are caring of others. These setbacks, the difficulties faced by them, they would lend a helping hand. Person's life will encounter this difficulty, he might not be completely resolved out, this time must remember the people around for help, for help. Think of what you are willing to help others, others will be quite willing to help you. Open your mind, free your mind, love is always around us.
Birth, the first cry cry out, but everyone laughed. Why? Because the new life brought a different dynamic. From then on, you will have a new meaning of life, mother, your father, your grandparents, your grandparents, your relatives and friends, your teachers, your counselor, your friend, your roommate, your spouse, your children, you all all. See all around us people are concerned about you, love you all, because of their concern for life, it is particularly meaningful, life also because of their concern and it is particularly exciting. For themselves, and to others, so that the release of your life more colorful light, because people care about you, for them, you have to cherish your life, you need to get beautiful life together.
According to The New Oxford Dictionary of English,frustration,bydefinition,means the feeling of being upset or annoyed,especially because ofinability to change or achieve something.Since frustration seems to be anegative feeling,some people may be tempted to think that frustration is bad forpeople.They believe that constant frustration may cause serious mentalproblems.People suffering from such psychological problems often resort toviolence or suicide,which poses a big threat to the people around them and thuscauses instability to the whole society.
Others,however,hold a different view.They maintain that it is beneficial topeople.It goes side by side with success.It inspires people to overcomehardships and difficulties and achieve the final success.People with this vieweven go so far as to say that no frustration,no success.Indeed,we cannot alwayshope to embrace success and never accept failure.And most importantly,only if welearn from many a failure can we do things better and finally overcome such abad feeling as frustration.
Frustration thus is part of our life experience.In our process of growingup,we may inevitably experience it when confronted with situations that don’tcome up to our expectations.It is a test of our courage when it befalls us.If welet it control us,we may fall into the abyss of being inflicted by seriouspsychological problems.But if we harness it and take it as our source ofinspiration,we may ultimately enjoy the glory of success.
thanksgiving day is the most truly american of the national holidays in the united states and is most closely connected with the earliest history of the country.
in 1620, the settlers, or pilgrims, they sailed to america on the may flower, seeking a place where they could have freedom of worship. after a tempestuous two-month voyage they landed at in icy november, what is now plymouth, massachusetts.
during their first winter, over half of the settlers died of[1] starvation or epidemics. those who survived began sowing in the first spring.
all summer long they waited for the harvests with great anxiety, knowing that their lives and the future existence of the colony depended on the coming harvest. finally the fields produced a yield rich beyond expectations. and therefore it was decided that a day of thanksgiving to the lord be fixed[2]. years later, president of the united states proclaimed the fourth thursday of november as thanksgiving day every year. the celebration of thanksgiving day has been observed on that date until today.
the pattern of the thanksgiving celebration has never changed through the years. the big family dinner is planned months ahead. on the dinner table, people will find apples, oranges, chestnuts, walnuts and grapes. there will be plum pudding, mince pie, other varieties of food and cranberry juice and squash. the best and most attractive among them are roast turkey and pumpkin pie. they have been the most traditional and favorite food on thanksgiving day throughout the years.
everyone agrees the dinner must be built around roast turkey stuffed with a bread dressing[3] to absorb the tasty juices as it roasts. but as cooking varies with families and with the regions where one lives, it is not easy to get a consensus on[4] the precise kind of stuffing for the royal bird.
thanksgiving today is, in every sense, a national annual holiday on which americans of all faiths and backgrounds join in to express their thanks for the year' s bounty and reverently ask for continued[5] blessings.
My favorite season is winter.It lasts from December to February.It is thecoidest season in the year.In winter,the days are very short.When it comes ,theleaves fall from the trees.When it snows,the ground is white with snow.We canwear warm clothes and go to make snowmen.It is a good season for skating .I likewinter best.

Life is not about just getting by. Life is about reaching ever higher, building one achievement on top of another, and creating real, meaningful value in each moment.
A common stone on the ground does a great job of just getting by. You, on the other hand, are destined1 for much more spectacular things. Yes, indeed, you will certainly meet a number of challenges when you make the effort to raise your world even a little bit higher. The good thing is, you are superbly equipped to thrive on those challenges.
If life seems unsuccessful, it’s not because of the challenges or limitations that stand in your way. It’s because you refuse to see the exceptional opportunities that those challenges represent.
This is your precious and unique life, and it is absolutely worth all the trouble and effort you must go through to make it great. Within you at this moment are beautiful dreams, and you can begin to live in the direction of those dreams whenever you choose.
Let go of the false security of just getting by, and get yourself into focus on a purpose that will bring your life gloriously to life. Your very own pathway to success is just one quick step away.
生活并不是过得去就行,而是需要我们每时每刻都有所超越,不断取得成就,并且创造真正的、有意义的价值。
地上的一块普通的石子只是躺在那里就做得很好了。然而,你注定是要做大事的。是的,当你努力提升自己时,你的确会遇到许多困难,哪怕只是提升一点点。幸运的是,你有能力战胜那些挑战。
如果生活看起来并不是一帆风顺的,那并不是因为你前方的道路上有挑战或阻碍,而是因为你没有看到那些挑战中蕴藏的良机。
这是你所珍爱的、独一无二的生活。为了让它变得更美好,经历困难、付出努力都是值得的。此刻,你的内心充满着美好的梦想,只要你选择,你就可以朝着梦想的方向生活。
摒弃生活只要过得去就行这样的错误观点,全心投入一个目标——让你的生活更加精彩。成功之路离你仅一步之遥。
good morning/afternoon/evening to mr.____(your teacher's name) and my friends.
i would like to introduce you a short novel named “the old man and the sea”.
it is written by ernest hemingway in cuba in 1951 and published in 1952.
the story of an aging, life-long fisherman who attempts to find himself, and hopefully a fish, on a fishing trip in the gulf waters off cuba.
after spending most of his life alone and losing his only companion who is a young cuban boy, the old man heads out to sea once again.
his 84 days without a notable catch end on this trip, but will he be able to defeat the odds after catching a gigantic marlin?
this short novel is universal in its consideration of the plight of an old man struggling against age, loneliness, mortality, humility and poverty to maintain his identity and dignity. apart from that, the cheerful and optimistic old man wants to reestablish his reputation in the community. besides, he also wants to ensure for all time his relationship with those he loves and to whom he hopes to paon everything he values the most. finally, he survives and wins the battle. this has shown his heroic struggle not only redeems himself but also inspires and spiritually enriches those around him.
I was one of the only kids in college who had a reason to go to the P.O. box at the end of the day, and that was mainly because my mother has never believed in email, in Facebook, in texting or cell phones in general. And so while other kids were BBM-ing their parents, I was literally waiting by the mailbox to get a letter from home to see how the weekend had gone, which was a little frustrating when Grandma was in the hospital, but I was just looking for some sort of scribble, some unkempt cursive from my mother.
And so when I moved to New York City after college and got completely sucker-punched in the face by depression, I did the only thing I could think of at the time. I wrote those same kinds of letters that my mother had written me for strangers, and tucked them all throughout the city, dozens and dozens of them. I left them everywhere, in cafes and in libraries, at the U.N., everywhere. I blogged about those letters and the days when they were necessary, and I posed a kind of crazy promise to the Internet: that if you asked me for a hand-written letter, I would write you one, no questions asked. Overnight, my inbox morphed into this harbor of heartbreak -- a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied in rural Kansas, all asking me, a 22-year-old girl who barely even knew her own coffee order, to write them a love letter and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox.
Well, today I fuel a global organization that is fueled by those trips to the mailbox, fueled by the ways in which we can harness social media like never before to write and mail strangers letters when they need them most, but most of all, fueled by crates of mail like this one, my trusty mail crate, filled with the scriptings of ordinary people, strangers writing letters to other strangers not because they're ever going to meet and laugh over a cup of coffee, but because they have found one another by way of letter-writing.
But, you know, the thing that always gets me about these letters is that most of them have been written by people that have never known themselves loved on a piece of paper. They could not tell you about the ink of their own love letters. They're the ones from my generation, the ones of us that have grown up into a world where everything is paperless, and where some of our best conversations have happened upon a screen. We have learned to diary our pain onto Facebook, and we speak swiftly in 140 characters or less.
But what if it's not about efficiency this time? I was on the subway yesterday with this mail crate, which is a conversation starter, let me tell you. If you ever need one, just carry one of these. (Laughter) And a man just stared at me, and he was like, "Well, why don't you use the Internet?" And I thought, "Well, sir, I am not a strategist, nor am I specialist. I am merely a storyteller." And so I could tell you about a woman whose husband has just come home from Afghanistan, and she is having a hard time unearthing this thing called conversation, and so she tucks love letters throughout the house as a way to say, "Come back to me. Find me when you can." Or a girl who decides that she is going to leave love letters around her campus in Dubuque, Iowa, only to find her efforts ripple-effected the next day when she walks out onto the quad and finds love letters hanging from the trees, tucked in the bushes and the benches. Or the man who decides that he is going to take his life, uses Facebook as a way to say goodbye to friends and family. Well, tonight he sleeps safely with a stack of letters just like this one tucked beneath his pillow, scripted by strangers who were there for him when.
These are the kinds of stories that convinced me that letter-writing will never again need to flip back her hair and talk about efficiency, because she is an art form now, all the parts of her, the signing, the scripting, the mailing, the doodles in the margins. The mere fact that somebody would even just sit down, pull out a piece of paper and think about someone the whole way through, with an intention that is so much harder to unearth when the browser is up and the iPhone is pinging and we've got six conversations rolling in at once, that is an art form that does not fall down to the Goliath of "get faster," no matter how many social networks we might join. We still clutch close these letters to our chest, to the words that speak louder than loud, when we turn pages into palettes to say the things that we have needed to say, the words that we have needed to write, to sisters and brothers and even to strangers, for far too long. Thank you. (Applause) (Applause)
good evening, honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen.
it’s my great pleasure to stand here to present my speech—change the world, change ourselves.
it’s noticable that western holidays are becoming increasingly popular day by day, while chinese traditional festivals are being somewhat neglected. not long before about 10 doctors in beijing university and qinghua unversity announced that we should reject the invasion of western holidays ,because they regard western holidays as an challenge against our traditional festivals and culture.
frankly speaking, i don’t quite agree with them.indeed, we should never neglect or even discard our traditonal festivals as china boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions.
(examples).but why can’t we absorb the meaningful western holidays and culture.
there are obvious reasons why some western holidays are so popular in china. on the one hand, some of the western holidays which we chinese don’t have are reasonable and meaningful, such as father’s day and april fool’s day etc. on the other hand,the prevalence of globalization enables western culture to prevail in china. overwhelmed by such a trend,chinese unconsiciously get involved in western holidays and culture.
with the further development of the whole world, the cultural communication between different countries and nations becomes faster and more and more important. we are indeed from different nations, but we are the citizens of the same world, so the outstanding culture of different nations is the commom wealth of everyone on the earth.the only way for us to protect our traditional culture is to reject the foreign culture? the answer is definitely no. what we ought to do is to spare no effort to educate chinese to get to know and treasure our splendid traditions instead of rejecting foreign culture. only by educating can we set our confidence and belief towards our culture.
Never shall i forget the first english lesson given by miss liu. on thatday， when she entered the classroom， we found that she was a young and beautifullady with a big smile on her face. then she introduced herself saying that weshould call her miss liu instead of teacher liu， a moment later， she let all ofus go to the blackboard and say something about ourselves in english in turn.when it was my turn， i felt so shy and fearful that i didn’t dare to say a wordbefore the class. she came up to me and said kindly， “don’t be afraid. i believeyou can do it. come and have a try.” my face turned red when i heard that. atlast， i went to the blackboard and was able to do it quite well. she praised forwhat i had done. up to now， i can still remember her words in the first englishlesson： “practice makes perfect. don’t lose your courage when you meet withdifficulties. try on and on until you succeed.”
The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese peopleand is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in theWest.
Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings totheir parents. Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up inred paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, forbreakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the oldand ushering in the new".
That Chinese people pay more attention to be polite,while it is differentfrom other countries .And chinese culture is brilliant and they know how to usea brush to write
Now dragon is the symbol of the whole Chinese people.
Dragon is a animal worshipped by the Chinese people from the timeimmemorial. But what is it? No one knows.
Some people think that the Yanzi crocodile is the archetype of the dragon.However, most people hold that dragon is a combination of many animals. And theabilities of those animals have been collected to it. Wang Chong, once pointedthat the horn of dragon liked deer's one, the head liked camel's one, the eyesliked rabbit's one, the neck liked snake's one, the talon liked eagle's one, thepalm liked tiger's one and the ear liked cattle's one.
It is not easy to think positive thoughts when the world around you appears to be so negative. In fact, it can be as difficult as anything you’ve ever done. However, it is absolutely possible to fill your mind with positive thoughts no matter what the environment is. Doing so makes you powerful like nothing else can.
To think positively is to alignyourselfwith1 the truth that you’re immersed2 in limitless, growing abundance. To think positively is to pleasantly accept that your life is full of meaningful and unique achievements.
Instead of placing a judgement on your situation, apply your most positive purposes to that situation. Instead of seeing the world as negative, see yourself as a powerful agent of the positive possibilities.
If you find yourself giving in to negativity, you are selling yourself short. The moment you feel the slightest pain of a negative thought, stop and remind yourself how powerful you are. Do the intentional work of keeping your thoughts positive. Because whatever you always think is where your life will surely and steadily go.
当你周围的人或物都看似消极时,让你持有乐观思想并非是件容易的事。实际上,这和你做过的任何一件事一样难。然而,无论身处怎样的环境,用乐观的思想填充你的大脑是完全可能的。这样做会使你变得无比强大。
乐观地思考就是在证明一个事实——你的生活正处于日益丰盈的状态。乐观地思考也是在欣然接受一个事实——你的生活充满着意义深远、与众不同的成就。
不要只顾着对你所处的形势作出评价,要把你的积极目标付诸于实际。不要只看到世界的消极一面,要看到自己能够创造积极可能性的强大力量。
如果你发现自己正向消极屈服,那么你就是在轻视自己。在你感受到消极思想所带来的一丝疼痛的那一刻,停下来吧,提醒自己你是多么强大。做一些有利于塑造积极思想的事情,因为你的思想正引领着你生活稳步前行的方向。
自信心的重要性
The Importance of confidence
Whatever one does, one should do it with confidence. If one has no confidence, there is little possibility that one would ever achieve anything, especially when one is faced with drawbacks or hardships. This truth seems to be evident. However, in reality we do see a lot of people who complain that they like the ability to do something or that their difficulties are too great to be overcome. For someone, this might be true. But for many others, this only shows that they have lost heart.
Why do people often feel frustrated even though they are capable of doing something? There are, among others, two main reasons. First, these people do have a correct estimate of themselves. Second, they overestimate the difficulties.
It is possible to build up faith in oneself by having the right attitude towards one’s abilities. We should never underestimate one’s abilities. But believe in the proverb: “Where there is a will, there is a way.” Confidence is the promise for fulfilling a task successfully.
When I was seven, I started learning English. I played games and sang English songs with other children. Sometimes, I watched English cartoons. It's funny. Then I discovered the beauty of the language, and began my colorful dream in the English world.
I hope I can travel around the world someday. I want to go to America to visit Washington, because my cousin is over there. Of course, I want to go to London too, because England is where English language developed. If I can ride my bike in Cambridge University, I will be very happy.
I hope I can speak English with everyone in the world. Also I'll introduce China to them, such as the Great Wall, and the gardens in Suzhou. I will teaching people of the world about the beautiful language of our country.
I like the English language. To learn English is wonderful. I once wanted to be an English teacher . I also like Chinese literature. When I was really young, I was able to remember lots of poems. I also wanted to be a teacher of Chinese. Now I think that both of my dreams can come true: I will be able to use English to teach foreign friends Chinese and share Chinese culture with them. So that more and more people will be able to get to know the 5000 years' history culture, and the prosperity of our great China.
My future is not a dream. I am confident that it will come true.
Security issue may sound clichéd, but when it comes to the campus security, we have to take it seriously. Nearly every day, there are reports to the security office on campus that valuable things are stolen away. A surrounding with stealing and mugging can’t be worse for studying. In such cases, what measures should be taken to improve the campus security?
安全问题可能听起来已经陈词滥调了，但是当涉及到安全问题的时候，我们不得不严肃对待。几乎每天校园里都有向保安处报告说贵重物品被偷。偷窃和抢劫的环境对学习来说再糟糕不过了。在这种情况下我们应该采取什么样的措施来提高校园安全呢?
On one hand, we students should strengthen our security awareness. Once we smell out something unusual, we should report it to the campus guard immediately. On the other hand, more equipment such as monitors should be installed on campus so as to detect crimes as soon as possible. Besides, a proper amount of security guards should be arranged to patrol the campus.
一方面，我们学生呢个应该加强我们的安全意识。一旦我们察觉到什么异常，我们就应该立刻向学校保安处报告。另一方面，应该安装个多诸如监视器之类的设备以尽快查出罪犯。此外，应安排适量的保安人员巡逻校园。
In my opinion, campus security will be improved as long as efforts are made on campus. Therefore, colleges and universities should try their best to make everyone on campus safe and sound。
在我看来，只要努力了，校园安全就会得到改善。因此，高校应该尽最大努力保证在校的每个人的安全和健康。

There is no perfect individual only perfect team. A philosopher once asked "how can a drop of water does not dry?" And the philosopher answered saying "put it in the sea." This short dialogue also reveals a profound truth: between individuals and others to support each other the only support from the team or others will have infinite strength. If without the support of others to you there is no group of policy strength of each member of the team we will not be able to overcome the heavy obstacles through behing XianGuan. Left the team even though you pulled out all the stops in front of difficulties will eventually be exhausted one day.
One day I on the way home suddenly the heavy rain. People ran forward a look at a hut we rush in under the heavy rain everyone very happy: "wow lucky today just looking for a house heavy rain is coming!" You also don't concern house do not clean as long as there is like a shelter. But the house in the wind and rain to fall suddenly everyone try their best to hold it don't let it fall. I have a lot of regrets is that we need a house or a house needs us? I see more is that we need to the house.
We identify center like this hut "such" for everyone. But at the same time also need to each of us has done his duty gave his strength she could only stand in the storm of the fierce market competition become a one hundred - year - old built to last.
