Dear:
Universities should abolish the practice of cutting off the electricity at dormitory at night.
I agree with it. As a student, I should say, university shouldn't cut off electricity at dormitory at night. The original intention for university to cut off electricity is to ensure our rest for some students will stay up very late if there is nothing to limit them. However, these students are minority. Most students have regular timetable. What more, we are now already in university, I think we should be treated like high school students any longer. Especially in summer hot days, no electricity at night would be a nightmare to all students. We can't fall asleep without electric fans. I can't just imagine that. Universities should think more for their students and trust their self-control.
大家好,我是G10-1的张予祺Hello everyone, I am Luke Zhuo from class one grade Ten
1月过去,新的学期已经来临了,随之而来的也是两周的春节假January has almost passed, the new semester has arrived, and with it comes a two-week Chinese New Year holiday.
对于高中生来说,春节假期期间,很多人可能都在补课、学习,想要利用这个长假提高自己的学术水平。低年级的同学学业压力可能偏轻,更倾向于放松心情,为迎接接下来紧张的学习生活做准备。During the Spring Festival, some high students might take some extra lessons in order to improve their academic scores. Our junior classmates may tend to replenish themselves and restore energy for the forthcoming semester.
但不论是作为生活的前奏,还是主旋律,学习都是同学们最关心的一项。我们希望分享一些自己平日里保持学习热情的小技巧。Whatever the prelude or the main theme of life, studying is a subject cared by all of us. We want to share some techniques that help us maintain our academic passion.
有些人可能会期待的“长时间高效的学习”。早上7点早起,坐在自习室埋头苦学到中午十二点。实际上,科学的学习方法是将每四十分钟至一个小时分割为一个时间段,段与段之间由十分钟的休息时间隔开——这样,学生可以劳逸结合,不至于为看上去好似一座高山的学习任务感到绝望与烦闷。而且,当我们的大脑运转了太久,我们的思考会变慢、反应时间会变长,学习效率也会降低。Some people might expect to have a long, efficient study time: waking up at seven o’clock, sitting in a self-study room until twelve o’clock. However, one scientific study method is to divide our learning time into several periods of 40 minutes to 1 hour and set a break time between 2 periods. Thus, we can keep the balance of work and rest, maintain high efficiency of learning, and not become desolate about the infinite homework.
如果缺乏学习动力,可以从自己本身出发,为自己做心理建设。你可以为自己的成绩设立一个小目标,举个例子,如果你这一月份的成绩各科全A,你就可以给自己买很想要却苦于价格一直没下手的商品,例如显卡或者项链,或者给自己放一个小长假,在完成作业后可以多分一些时间在娱乐上。对于无欲无求的同学,你可以告诉自己,好的学习成绩是考上好学校的基础。If you lack academic passion, you can construct your mindset based on your own personality. You can always set yourself a little goal. For example, if you get straight A's in January, you can buy yourself something which you were eager to buy but didn't, such as a graphics card or a necklace, or you can have a vacation. For someone who lives without material desires, you can tell yourself that a good grade is the foundation of a good future.
第三,对自己负责,每周六我带着自己的电脑去到一个语言补习机构学习,我通常会选择坐在老师旁边的桌上,因为我觉得自己的自制力不够,需要有人监督我来保证我的效率。但是结果通常不甚理想,我不仅会发呆走神还总想上网开小差。Thirdly, be responsible to yourself. I will take my laptop to ReachTop, a linguistic learning institution, I will usually choose to sit beside the teacher because I think that I lack self-discipline and it is necessary for one of the teachers to regulate my behavior. However, the result was not ideal, my efficiency was not improved.
但是有一次,我被分配到了独立的小房间自习,在这个地方,很少有老师可以看到我到底在干什么,我该做什么全依靠于我的自制力。但是,出乎我自己意料的是,在小房间内,在没有老师监督我学习的情况下,我注意力相当集中,从头到尾两个小时没有动过想要浑水摸鱼的歪念头。But once, I was instructed to study by myself in a separate room. There are few chances for teachers to supervise me in this place. I did everything based on my self-discipline. However, what was totally out of my expectation, I was extraordinarily focused during the study time without the control of teachers. I was not affected by any distractions at all.
我觉得这其中主要的原因就是:当我正在被人监管时,我会认为我在为他们学习,而不是为我自己。但是当轮到我自己来决策我的行为时,我知道我要对自己负责,并且毫不犹豫地,全力以赴地为自己做出最正确的决定。In my opinion, the main reason for what happened is that when I am supervised by others, I believe that I am studying for them instead of studying for myself. But when I realize that I should make a decision all by myself, I deeply know that I should take full responsibility for myself and put all effort into making the right decisions without hesitation.
我们的演讲到此结束,谢谢大家。Our speech is over, thanks for your attention.
1.Agree or disagree: Museums should be made free.In my eyes, museums of course should be made free.
We know that, as a part of culture, museums restore many culture relics. These are typical symbols for a certain times. As a citizen of our country, it is necessary and natural to learn our past history. Recent years, more and more museums are open free to the public. I couldnt agree more with it. Free museum will greatly motivate all kinds of people to approach. Whats more, in this fast developing age, museums have many new and advanced invents inside. It will be a wonderful place for people who want to learn more. Parents can often take their children to museums to learn about history and some technical knowledge. In a word, I think government should try to make more museums free for citizens.
2.Agree or disagree: Zoos should be banned.
Nowadays, lots of people start to realize that zoos are not a good place for animals. People need zoos because it is an easy way to close the animals and also because its convenient for people to observe them. However, zoos are in fact a cruel place for animals. Animals should live in their natural habitat. An animals natural instinct is to run and to hunt. But thats not for animals kept in zoos. Everyday, people feed them. Theyve never been taught how to hunt for food and will gradually lose their natures. That will be quite cruel for a animal, especially for wild animals such as tigers and lions. You can often find in zoos that a tiger kept in cage has a loose expression in its face.We set animals in zoos and therefore feel that they wont meet danger and may be able to protect them from dying out. This may be just a excuse we find for ourselves to make animals in cages just as entertainment. We always say animals are our friends, then why we put our friends in cages?
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I love the college life, because I have plenty of time to do the thing that I want to do . In my opinion, my college life is supposed to be like this. First of all, I should have a positive mental attitude, the optimism about everything in life ,and the second is still important ,I need to study well in the University, I will go to the library, read more books, and still have to learn more knowledge, then I must make full use of spare time to do my own things, such as writing.
Universities should also pay attention to interpersonal relationships, I hope to make lots of good fris at the University. When my college life is over I should be happy to pleted all academic work and made many good fris, I am glad to say: I do not regret it!
Boys and girls,
It is very important for us students to keep healthy.
There are many ways to be healthy. We’d better eat more fruits and vegetables. Take exercise for at least one hour every day. We need enough sleep and rest so it is important to go to bed early and get up early. Besides, we should wash our hands as often as possible. In my opinion, we mustn't drink wine or smoke .They are bad for our health.
Thank you.
Dear teacher:
I would like to thank you for all the help you gave me during this past semester. You were alway so patient when i asked you questions. You listened to them carefully and explained everything so thoroughly. You showed me different ways to practice and remember new words and usage. I felt so encouraged and became more comfortable in speaking english. You made the excercise so interesting that i was always very eager to participate and practice. My english has improved so much. How could i thank you enough?I cannot wait to take your clanext semester and keep working on my english.
Last wish best wishes .
Good afternoon,ladies and gentlemen!
I’m very honored to stand here and give you a short speech! To begin with ,I want to ask a question .Does everybody dream a good dream last night? Actually ,today I want to talk about dream with you. Of course, What I want to talk is not a dream you have last night,but a dream—— about life.
Everyone has dreams about life, different dreams at different life stage,and we need dreams to support us. Dreams are like the stars we never reach in the sky,but like most mariners(水手),we can chart our course by them. With the dream,we have a direction,with a direction, we were no longer confused.With the dream, there is hope,With hope, we have the strength to fight.
But I know,life is tough,and there are always ups and downs, maybe we fail in the way to our aims,and we may feel depressed ,whenever at this time, the dream in our heart can always comfort us, encourage us ,and support us to move ahead .
Young!Fortunately, I am young now. Just due to it, I know that nothing is impossible.I firmly believe that nothing can stand in my way. If
I cant realize my dream,it result from that I havent work harder enough and I wont find other excuses. If no people believe you, you can make it to prove that you are right. If you think the god havent blessed you and there is no truth here, you can become the god and create the truth.
"My breath swallows the sky and make the yellow river overflow, my sword is famous in Kyushu and it can collapse the five sacred mountains." At some time in the past I also had am bitious words and I had some achievements. Each achievement results from my hard work. I always believe that "If you want to have more achievements than others, you must work harder."
Thank you for your listening!

Dear:
Good morning!
My name is Chen Ying snow, carefree travel guide, today is a great pleasure to serve you, you can call me snow! Today we are going to visit the Great Wall of landscape is famous in the world. The Great Wall is the world's precious historical relics, hope everyone to love the Great Wall, don't litter scribble, oh!
The Great Wall has a long history, a history of more than 20__ years, the spring and autumn period and the warring states period, the warring states to mutual defense, has built the Great Wall in the dangerous place.
According to records zuozhuan: in 656 BC, "chu mahjong layout" is about the earliest record of the Great Wall. Out the six nations after the unification of China, qin to defense the north south invasion of the huns, in 224 BC, the qin, zhao and yan in The Three Kingdoms of the north Great Wall, re-hung, coherent rise.
Some west about (now min county, gansu province) north mountain, east to liaodong, which is commonly known as the "Great Wall", still remains. Since then, the han, the northern wei dynasty, their, beiqi, sui dynasties had built the Great Wall. The composition
In Ming dynasty, in order to defense the invasion of alien, built the Great Wall before and after 18 times, total length of 6700 km, east of shanhaiguan, west to jiayuguan, today we visit this section of the Great Wall is built in the Ming dynasty, is located in the badaling.
Thanks!
There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says, “Morning, boys. How's the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, “What the hell is water?”
Simple awareness; awareness of what is so real and essential, so hidden in plain sight all around us, all the time, that we have to keep reminding ourselves over and over:
“This is water.”
“This is water.”
It is unimaginably hard to do this, to stay conscious and alive in the adult world day in and day out.
What fear can teach us
恐惧可以教会我们什么
One day in 1819, 3,000 miles off the coast of Chile, in one of the most remote regions of the Pacific Ocean, 20 American sailors watched their ship flood with seawater.
1820xx年的某一天, 在距离智利海岸3000英里的地方, 有一个太平洋上的最偏远的水域, 20名美国船员目睹了他们的船只进水的场面。
They'd been struck by a sperm whale, which had ripped a catastrophic hole in the ship's hull. As their ship began to sink beneath the swells, the men huddled together in three small whaleboats.
他们和一头抹香鲸相撞,给船体撞了 一个毁灭性的大洞。 当船在巨浪中开始沉没时, 人们在三条救生小艇中抱作一团。
These men were 10,000 miles from home, more than 1,000 miles from the nearest scrap of land. In their small boats, they carried only rudimentary navigational equipment and limited supplies of food and water.
这些人在离家10000万英里的地方, 离最近的陆地也超过1000英里。 在他们的小艇中,他们只带了 落后的导航设备 和有限的食物和饮水。
These were the men of the whaleship Essex, whose story would later inspire parts of "Moby Dick."
他们就是捕鲸船ESSEX上的人们, 后来的他们的故事成为《白鲸记》的一部分。
Even in today's world, their situation would be really dire, but think about how much worse it would have been then.
即使在当今的世界,碰上这种情况也够杯具的,更不用说在当时的情况有多糟糕。
No one on land had any idea that anything had gone wrong. No search party was coming to look for these men. So most of us have never experienced a situation as frightening as the one in which these sailors found themselves, but we all know what it's like to be afraid.
岸上的人根本就还没意识到出了什么问题。 没有任何人来搜寻他们。 我们当中大部分人没有经历过 这些船员所处的可怕情景, 但我们都知道害怕是什么感觉。
We know how fear feels, but I'm not sure we spend enough time thinking about what our fears mean.
我们知道恐惧的感觉, 但是我不能肯定我们会花很多时间想过 我们的恐惧到底意味着什么。
As we grow up, we're often encouraged to think of fear as a weakness, just another childish thing to discard like baby teeth or roller skates.
我们长大以后,我们总是会被鼓励把恐惧 视为软弱,需要像乳牙或轮滑鞋一样 扔掉的幼稚的东西。
And I think it's no accident that we think this way. Neuroscientists have actually shown that human beings are hard-wired to be optimists.
我想意外事故并非我们所想的那样。 神经系统科学家已经知道人类 生来就是乐观主义者。
So maybe that's why we think of fear, sometimes, as a danger in and of itself. "Don't worry," we like to say to one another. "Don't panic." In English, fear is something we conquer. It's something we fight.
这也许就是为什么我们认为有时候恐惧, 本身就是一种危险或带来危险。 “不要愁。”我们总是对别人说。“不要慌”。 英语中,恐惧是我们需要征服的东西。 是我们必须对抗的东西,是我们必须克服的东西。
It's something we overcome. But what if we looked at fear in a fresh way? What if we thought of fear as an amazing act of the imagination, something that can be as profound and insightful as storytelling itself?
但是我们如果换个视角看恐惧会如何呢? 如果我们把恐惧当做是想象力的一个惊人成果, 是和我们讲故事一样 精妙而有见地的东西,又会如何呢?
It's easiest to see this link between fear and the imagination in young children, whose fears are often extraordinarily vivid.
在小孩子当中,我们最容易看到恐惧与想象之间的联系, 他们的恐惧经常是超级生动的。
When I was a child, I lived in California, which is, you know, mostly a very nice place to live, but for me as a child, California could also be a little scary.
我小时候住在加利福尼亚, 你们都知道,是非常适合居住的位置, 但是对一个小孩来说,加利福尼亚也会有点吓人。
I remember how frightening it was to see the chandelier that hung above our dining table swing back and forth during every minor earthquake, and I sometimes couldn't sleep at night, terrified that the Big One might strike while we were sleeping.
我记得每次小地震的时候 当我看到我们餐桌上的吊灯 晃来晃去的时候是多么的吓人, 我经常会彻夜难眠,担心大地震 会在我们睡觉的时候突然袭来。
And what we say about kids who have fears like that is that they have a vivid imagination. But at a certain point, most of us learn to leave these kinds of visions behind and grow up.
我们说小孩子感受到这种恐惧 是因为他们有生动的想象力。 但是在某个时候,我们大多数学会了 抛弃这种想法而变得成熟。
We learn that there are no monsters hiding under the bed, and not every earthquake brings buildings down. But maybe it's no coincidence that some of our most creative minds fail to leave these kinds of fears behind as adults.
我们都知道床下没有魔鬼, 也不是每个地震都会震垮房子。但是我们当中最有想象力的人们 并没有因为成年而抛弃这种恐惧,这也许并不是巧合。
The same incredible imaginations that produced "The Origin of Species," "Jane Eyre" and "The Remembrance of Things Past," also generated intense worries that haunted the adult lives of Charles Darwin, Charlotte Bront and Marcel Proust. So the question is, what can the rest of us learn about fear from visionaries and young children?
同样不可思议的想象力创造了《物种起源》, 《简·爱》和《追忆似水年华》, 也就是这种与生俱来的深深的担忧一直缠绕着成年的 查尔斯·达尔文, 夏洛特·勃朗特和马塞尔·普罗斯特。 问题就来了, 我们其他人如何能从这些 梦想家和小孩子身上学会恐惧?
Well let's return to the year 1819 for a moment, to the situation facing the crew of the whaleship Essex. Let's take a look at the fears that their imaginations were generating as they drifted in the middle of the Pacific.
让我们暂时回到1820xx年, 回到ESSEX捕鲸船的水手们面对的情况。 让我们看看他们漂流在太平洋中央时 他们的想象力给他们带来的恐惧感觉。
Twenty-four hours had now passed since the capsizing of the ship. The time had come for the men to make a plan, but they had very few options.
船倾覆后已经过了24个小时。 这时人们制定了一个计划, 但是其实他们没什么太多的选择。
In his fascinating account of the disaster, Nathaniel Philbrick wrote that these men were just about as far from land as it was possible to be anywhere on Earth.
在纳撒尼尔·菲尔布里克(Nathaniel Philbrick)描述这场灾难的 动人文章中,他写到“这些人离陆地如此之远, 似乎永远都不可能到达地球上的任何一块陆地。”
The men knew that the nearest islands they could reach were the Marquesas Islands, 1,200 miles away. But they'd heard some frightening rumors.
这些人知道离他们最近的岛 是1200英里以外的马克萨斯群岛(Marquesas Islands)。 但是他们听到了让人恐怖的谣言。
They'd been told that these islands, and several others nearby, were populated by cannibals. So the men ashore only to be murdered and eaten for dinner. Another possible destination was Hawaii, but given the season, the captain was afraid they'd be struck by severe storms.
他们听说这些群岛, 以及附近的一些岛屿上都住着食人族。 所以他们脑中都是上岸以后就会被杀掉 被人当做盘中餐的画面。 另一个可行的目的地是夏威夷, 但是船长担心 他们会被困在风暴当中。
Now the last option was the longest, and the most difficult: to sail 1,500 miles due south in hopes of reaching a certain band of winds that could eventually push them toward the coast of South America.
所以最后的选择是到最远,也是最艰险的地方: 往南走1500英里希望某股风 能最终把他们 吹到南美洲的海岸。
But they knew that the sheer length of this journey would stretch their supplies of food and water. To be eaten by cannibals, to be battered by storms, to starve to death before reaching land.
但是他们知道这个行程中一旦偏航 将会耗尽他们食物和饮水的供给。 被食人族吃掉,被风暴掀翻, 在登陆前饿死。
These were the fears that danced in the imaginations of these poor men, and as it turned out, the fear they chose to listen to would govern whether they lived or died.
这就是萦绕在这群可怜的人想象中的恐惧, 事实证明,他们选择听从的恐惧 将决定他们的生死。
Now we might just as easily call these fears by a different name. What if instead of calling them fears, we called them stories?
也许我们可以很容易的用别的名称来称呼这些恐惧。 我们不称之为恐惧, 而是称它们为故事如何?
Because that's really what fear is, if you think about it. It's a kind of unintentional storytelling that we are all born knowing how to do. And fears and storytelling have the same components.
如果你仔细想想,这是恐惧真正的意义。 这是一种与生俱来的, 无意识的讲故事的能力。 恐惧和讲故事有着同样的构成。
They have the same architecture. Like all stories, fears have characters. In our fears, the characters are us. Fears also have plots. They have beginnings and middles and ends. You board the plane.
他们有同样的'结构。 如同所有的故事,恐惧中有角色。 在恐惧中,角色就是我们自己。 恐惧也有情节。他们有开头,有中间,有结尾。 你登上飞机。
The plane takes off. The engine fails. Our fears also tend to contain imagery that can be every bit as vivid as what you might find in the pages of a novel. Picture a cannibal, human teeth sinking into human skin, human flesh roasting over a fire.
飞机起飞。结果引擎故障。 我们的恐惧会包括各种生动的想象, 不比你看到的任何一个小说逊色。 想象食人族,人类牙齿 咬在人类皮肤上, 人肉在火上烤。
Fears also have suspense. If I've done my job as a storyteller today, you should be wondering what happened to the men of the whaleship Essex. Our fears provoke in us a very similar form of suspense.
恐惧中也有悬念。 如果我今天像讲故事一样,留个悬念不说了, 你们也许会很想知道 ESSEX捕鲸船上,人们到底怎么样了。 我们的恐惧用悬念一样的方式刺激我们。
Just like all great stories, our fears focus our attention on a question that is as important in life as it is in literature: What will happen next?
就像一个很好的故事,我们的恐惧也如同一部好的文学作品一样, 将我们的注意力集中在对我们生命至关重要的问题上: 后来发生了什么?
In other words, our fears make us think about the future. And humans, by the way, are the only creatures capable of thinking about the future in this way, of projecting ourselves forward in time, and this mental time travel is just one more thing that fears have in common with storytelling.
换而言之,我们的恐惧让我们想到未来。 另外,人来是唯一有能力 通过这种方式想到未来的生物, 就是预测时间推移后我们的状况, 这种精神上的时间旅行是恐惧 与讲故事的另一个共同点。
As a writer, I can tell you that a big part of writing fiction is learning to predict how one event in a story will affect all the other events, and fear works in that same way.
我是一个作家,我要告诉你们写小说一个很重要的部分 就是学会预测故事中一件 事情如何影响另一件事情, 恐惧也是同样这么做的。
In fear, just like in fiction, one thing always leads to another. When I was writing my first novel, "The Age Of Miracles," I spent months trying to figure out what would happen if the rotation of the Earth suddenly began to slow down. What would happen to our days?
恐惧中,如同小说一样,一件事情总是导致另一件事情。 我写我的第一部小说《奇迹时代》的时候, 我花了数月的时间想象如果地球旋转突然变慢了之后 会发生什么。 我们的一天变得如何?
What would happen to our crops? What would happen to our minds? And then it was only later that I realized how very similar these questions were to the ones I used to ask myself as a child frightened in the night.
我们身体会怎样? 我们的思想会有什么变化? 也就是在那之后,我意识到 我过去总是问自己的那些些问题 和孩子们在夜里害怕是多么的相像。
If an earthquake strikes tonight, I used to worry, what will happen to our house? What will happen to my family? And the answer to those questions always took the form of a story.
要是在过去,如果今晚发生地震,我会很担心, 我的房子会怎么样啊?家里人会怎样啊? 这类问题的答案通常都会和故事一样。
Here are different kinds of noodles in our country. In Shanxi the most famous noodle is sliced noodles in Guangdong it has dry fried noodles; in Si chuan people love spicy hot noodles very much. Born in Beijing and live in Beijing I love fried bean paste noodles the best.
The fired bean paste noodles is very easy to cook. First of it you should slice the cucumber into pieces cook the soy bean and green bean for about ten minutes then put these material in a bowl. Second stir-frying the paste. Mix the minced meat ginger and green onion and then put them in the pan keep frying the paste until you can smell the aroma.
Last put the paste onto the noodles you have prepare and add the cucumber soy bean and green bean to the noodles. The fried bean paste noodles are done. If you have time you can try this I sure you will love it.

Last year when I was here, I was speaking to you about a swim which I did across the North Pole.去年,当我站在这里的时候,我在谈论我横跨 北极的游泳。
And while that swim took place three years ago, I can remember it as if it was yesterday.那还是发生在3年前, 对我则好像是昨天一般。
I remember standing on the edge of the ice, about to dive into the water, and thinking to myself, I have never ever seen any place on this earth which is just so frightening.我还记得我站在冰层的边缘, 就要扎进水里, 然后我自己想到,我再也再也 不要看到地球上的这个地方,这里是如此的让人恐惧。
The water is completely black.The water is minus 1.7 degrees centigrade, or 29 degrees Fahrenheit.It's flipping freezing in that water.
那里的水是全黑色。水的温度是负1.7摄氏度, 华氏29度。那水里就是翻动的冰块。
And then a thought came across my mind: if things go pear-shaped on this swim, how long will it take for my frozen body to sink the four and a half kilometers to the bottom of the ocean?然后一个念头在我脑中划过: 如果这场泳出了点问题, 我这冰冻的身体要花多长时间 才能沉到这4500米的底部呢?
And then I said to myself, I've just got to get this thought out of my mind as quickly as possible.然后我告诫我自己,我要把这个念头尽快的 抛在我的脑后。
And the only way I can dive into that freezing cold water and swim a kilometer is by listening to my iPod and really revving myself up,能让我扎入 这冰冷的水里 然后游了4千米的唯一方法就是 听着我的iPod,让我自己全力运转起来,
listening to everything from beautiful opera all the way across to Puff Daddy, and then committing myself a hundred percent -- there is nothing more powerful than the made-up mind --and then walking up to the edge of the ice and just diving into the water.
我听了所有的歌,从华丽的歌剧 到吹牛老爹, 然后全身心的投入 没有什么比下定决心还要厉害的 --然后走到冰的边缘 扎入水里。
And that swim took me 18 minutes and 50 seconds, and it felt like 18 days.这次游泳花了我 18分50秒, 但好像是18天一样。
And I remember getting out of the water and my hands feeling so painful and looking down at my fingers, and my fingers were literally the size of sausages because -- you know, we're made partially of water -- when water freezes it expands, and so the cells in my fingers had frozen and expandedand burst.
我记得当我从水里出来时 我的手时如此的疼痛 然后我看着我的手指, 我的手指真的像香肠一样粗,因为--你们知道了,我们身体一部分由水组成 -- 当水结冰时会膨胀, 这样我手指的里细胞 就冷冻了,膨胀了炸裂了。And the most immediate thought when I came out of that water was the following: I'm never, ever going to do another cold water swim in my life again.我从水里上岸的一瞬间的想法 时这样的: 我一生中 再也再也不要去在冰冷的水里游泳了。
Anyway, last year, I heard about the Himalayas and the melting of the -- (Laughter) and the melting of the glaciers because of climate change.就这样,去年,我听到了喜马拉雅山 以及那里融化的--(笑) 因为气候变化 所融化的冰川。
I heard about this lake, Lake Imja.我听说了这个湖泊,映佳湖。
This lake has been formed in the last couple of years because of the melting of the glacier.这个湖是几年前 由于冰川融化所形成的。
The glacier's gone all the way up the mountain and left in its place this big lake.这些冰川顺山而下 然后在这里留下了这个大湖。
And I firmly believe that what we're seeing in the Himalayas is the next great, big battleground on this earth.由此我坚信 我要去看见的喜马拉雅 就是我下一个在地球上的 战场。
Nearly two billion people -- so one in three people on this earth -- rely on the water from the Himalayas.将近20亿的人口 -- 世界上三分之一的地球人口 -- 依靠着喜马拉雅山的水源。
And with a population increasing as quickly as it is, and with the water supply from these glaciers -- because of climate change --decreasing so much, I think we have a real risk of instability.而世界人口照这个速度发展下去, 而冰川水源的提供 -- 由于气候的变化 --下降的如此之快, 我像我们就有了一个十分不稳定的威胁。
North, you've got China; south, you've India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, all these countries.北方,我们由中国;南方,我们有印度,巴基斯坦,孟加拉, 和其它所有国家。
And so I decided to walk up to Mt. Everest, the highest mountain on this earth, and go and do a symbolic swim underneath the summit of Mt. Everest.这样我决定了 登上珠峰, 地球上的最高峰, 如何在珠峰下 游一次具有象征意义的泳。
Now, I don't know if any of you have had the opportunity to go to Mt. Everest, but it's quite an ordeal getting up there.我不知道,你们是否有机会去珠峰, 但是要去那的话,是一个考验。
28 great, big, powerful yaks carrying all the equipment up onto this mountain -- I don't just have my Speedo, but there's a big film crew who then send all the images around the world.28只巨大的牦牛 载着所有的仪器登上山峰 -- 我不仅仅带这我的泳裤。 还有一个摄像团队这个摄像团队,会向世界各地直播。
Gorky once said that books are the ladder of human progress. I love books, so also love reading.
When I read preschool, came home every afternoon, after the teacher the assignment, mother gave me to read the story. I quietly listen to mother breathed in a side, not the class and the students play naughty, didnt also the absence of mind when listening to the teacher.
A grade, dear father, mother and school teacher li taught me to read, the dictionary. Since then, I started his reading. "Wolf" let me see the disadvantages of lie, tell me to do an honest boy "little red riding hood," difficult to let me know how to be brave to face the "wild swans" let I see other people have difficulty want to help him...
A senior, I no longer content to see fables, fairy tales. So much my bookcase and "mystery", "meaning Lin", "Helen Keller autobiography," if give me three days light "... When I finish my homework, feel bored, just cant help to the bookcase. I admire Tom? Sawyers wit, Im determined to Helen? Keller it not as difficult to learn her indomitable, impressed by the spirit. I love reading, I didnt know the problem found the answer in the book. Have accumulated in the book extra-curricular knowledge, I in the usual answer was praised by his teacher. At this time, the book became my spiritual sustenance.
Books unknown to their intellectual selflessly dedicated to the reader. I love it this spirit. In the future, I will also like books selflessly for the motherland.
Without dreams, life is desert and no life. Without dreams, life is like night, without light. Without dreams, life is like a labyrinth without direction. Because dream is an oasis in the desert, a light in the dark, a sign in the labyrinth, guiding us to go forward bravely.
Since I entered junior high school, I had a strong interest in physics. It was like a magnet that attracted all my attention. I was very excited about every physics class, because before that, I had turned the book several times. From then on, a young seed sprouted in my heart - I must be a physicist.
However, the ensuing wind and rain gave a heavy blow to the young embryo. Once, a student asked me a question, and I took the book blindly and began to "research". However, as time went on, my forehead was peaked with beans. It seems to be very simple, but I can hardly make a reason for my mind. Later, when the teacher told the question, it was Zhang Feis bean sprouts - a piece of cake. I didnt mention how embarrassed it was. When I got to the physics exam, I got the test paper with confidence, but I handed it down in a dejected way. I have no opinion, and what "physical talent", and only see through the book is not enough, the losing streak like a pot of cold water extinguished the flames of my dreams.
I wandered in the campus in a pale way. Suddenly, a tree seedling came into view. It stood upright between the brick joints, and the bricks on the sides should be warped on both sides. What a tenacious life, what a strong character! It is hard to imagine, after how the wind snow and rain to break through the darkness, brighter!
I am suddenly clear: the realization of the dream is also a bet, just like an abyss, from the moment the jump down, it is doomed to no loop. Either, straight and A great hawk spreads its wings, spread on the bottom; or, go, no sound. Believe in the power of the dream, follow the faint ray of light to pursue the longing longing for a long time, can usher in a beautiful infinite spring!
From then on, I began to fight for my dream. I would sort out every difficult problem and look at it. I do not listen to the conclusion, but to the mind. Whenever I have a disagreement with my teacher, I will ask the teacher for the first time. When I found a new way of making a problem, I was like Columbo who discovered the new world. Finally, the seedlings of the dream have thrived and fruit, and in recent physical exams and competitions, I have been among the best.
Some people say, "the poor are not the penniless, but the people who have no dreams." But I have to say, "the poor are not people without dreams, but those who dare not fight for their dreams." With a dream, we have the direction of hard work and dream, to go far away.
no writer who knows the great writers who did not receive the prize can accept it other than with humility. there is no need to list these writers. everyone here may make his own list according to his knowledge and his conscience.
it would be impossible for me to ask the ambassador of my country to read a speech in which a writer saidall of the things which are in his heart. things may not be immediately discernible in what a man writes, and in this sometimes he is fortunate; but eventually they are quite clear and by these and the degree of alchemy that he possesses he will endure or be forgotten.
writing at its best is a lonely life. organizations for writers palliate the writers loneliness, but i doubt if they improve his writing. he grows in public stature as he sheds his loneliness and often his work deteriorates. for he does his work alone, and if he is a good enough writer, he must face eternity or the lack of it each day.
for a true writer, each book should be a new beginning where he tries again for something that is beyond attainment. he should always try for something that has never been done or that others have tried and failed. then sometimes, with good luck, he will succeed.
how simple the writing of literature would be if it were only necessary to write in another way what has been well written. it is because we have had such great writers in the past that a writer is driven far out past where he can go, out to where no one can help him.
i have spoken too long for a writer. a writer should write what he has to say and not speak it.
again i thank you.
I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word, it is victory. Victory at all costs—victory in spite of all terrors—victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival. Let that be realized, no survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that British Empire has stood for , no survival for the urge, the impulse of the ages, that mankind shall more forward toward his goal. I take up my task in buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of a
Dear:
Today I am very glad to be here to share with you my ideas of success. What is success? It is what everyone is longing for.Sometimes success would be rather simple. Winning a game is success; getting a high grade in the exam is success; making a new friend is success; even now I am standing here giving my speech is somehow also success.
However, as a person’s whole life is concerned, success becomes very complicated. Is fortune success? Is fame success? Is high social status success? No, I don’t think so. I believe success is the realization of people’s hopes and ideals.Nowadays, in the modern society there are many people who are regarded as the successful. And the most obvious characteristics of hem are money, high position and luxurious life. So most people believe that s success and all that they do is for this purpose. But the problem is wether it is real success. We all know there are always more money, higher position and better condition in front of us. If we keep chasing them, where is the end? What will satisfy us at last? Therefore, we can see, to get the real Success we must need something inside, which is the realization of people’ hopes and ideals.
Different people have different ideas about success; cause people’s hopes and ideas vary from one another. But I am sure every success is dear to everybody, cause it is not easy to come by, cause in the process of our striving for success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightened by the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and sense of responsibility. These are the best treasures. So now I am very proud that I have this opportunity to stand here speaking to all of you. It is my success, cause I raise up to challenge my hope.
What is success? Everyone has his own interpretation as I do. But I am sure every success leads to an ever-brighter future. So ladies and gentlemen, believe in our hopes, believe in ourselves, we, every one of us, can make a successful life! Wish you all good success!
Dear pupils and teachers:
Good morning! I’m from Class *,Grade *.You can call me I’d like to talk about the ways to learn English first.
There is no easy and quick way to learn English.
Speak English as much as possible .Try your best. The best time to do that is in the morning and the evening. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.
Listen to English as much as possible. Listen to the teachers when they speak English. And listen to English on the recorder or on the television.English programmes about traveling on the Guangzhou English Channel are fun,I think.
If you do all these things with the help of your teachers, you will learn English very well.
I hope that everybody can improve their English in this way.That's all.Thanks
Goodbye and good luck to you!THANK YOU!
