Which is more important? Time or money
Good evening everybody! It's my honor to speak here,at first I am going to have a self-introduction. I am an outing girl, from Huang Gang experiment school. and I am very glad to share my topic with you. Then today I'd like to talk something about which is more important. There are many things around our life. Such as time,healthy, money, friends and so on. But which do you think is the most important? time or money. Some people often say:“Money is more important than time.”they think that if people have money. They can buy clothes, foods, drinks, houses, cars, computers and so on. But l don’t think so. Because when time is gone we can't get it back. But we can keep on making more money. We can use time to get money. However we can’t use money to get time. Lost wealth maybe replaced by industry. Lost knowledge by study. Lost healthy by temperance or medicine, but lost time is gone for ever. I cannot afford to waste my time making money. So I think time is more important than money. We must make full use of our time to study and work. Each moment in history is a fleeting time, precious and unique.
Do you love life? Now, my dear friends, carry the sun inside you, and cherish the time that guide you what you want to do. You have what it takes to make your path of success .With the time, you have the courage and strength to see things through, you have the smile that will guide you to the beautiful tomorrows.Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff life is made of. Life is long if you know how to use it. So let's save our time.

翻译：“今天天气好晴朗，处处百花香……”我头顶游泳眼镜，口哼小曲，迈着流星大步，向舟山中学游泳池走去。哇噻！今天人可真多啊！学生们三个一群，五个一堆，在泳池里推推搡搡，好不快活！我早已耐不住兴子，轻装上阵。“扑通！”我纵身一跃，如水鸭子一般去水里畅游了……。水里的感觉真好！我一会儿像一条自由自在的小鱼，一会儿又似一只无忧无虑的水鸟。时而青蛙似地蛙泳前进，时而自由泳进，向着深水区进发。我的双手不停着摆动着，两脚不住地打着水，溅起的水花如一位位婀娜多姿的少女，又像一个个活泼可爱的男孩，美丽极了！
我跳跃着，翻滚着。“哇！”深水区的水好凉、好爽！“哗啦......”我的.独创“深水空翻”开始了。我双手一推，两脚一蹬，向后一跃，侧身一转，多完美的表演啊！我在一片喝彩声中，神气地钻入水里。这时，同学们都向我游了过来。顿时，泳池里游姿开放：蛙泳、蝶泳、狗刨、应有尽有。你追我赶，互不相让。欢笑声、嬉闹声响成一片...... 累了，我静静地躺在水面上：要是天天与水为伴，让鱼儿做我的朋友，当我的老师，我的作业只有游泳......那该多好啊！
夕阳西下时，我和同学们还在泳池里嬉戏打闹。终于，上岸了，黄昏的残阳把我们的影子拖得很长很长。快乐的游泳，我喜欢！
I get up early at six every day. After doing some morning exercises, I read English for twenty minutes. At seven I have breakfast.
After breakfast I take my schoolbag and go to school. Our class begins at eight, and we have four classes in the morning.
After lunch at 12 o’clock, I take a short rest in the classroom. We have three more classes in the afternoon.
After school at five , I go back home. I often help my mother do some housework. Sometimes I watch TV.
After dinner, I begin to do my homework.
Then I take a shower. I go to bed at nine thirty.
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。
1）开始时对听众的称呼语最常用的是Ladies and gentlemen，也可根据不同情况，选用Fellow students，Distinguished guests，Mr Chairman，Honorable Judges（评委）等等。
2）提出论题由于演讲的时间限制，必须开门见山，提出论题。提出论题的方法有各种各样，但最生动，最能引起注意的是用举例法。比如：你要呼吁大家关心贫穷地区的孩子，你可以用亲眼看到的或者收集到的那些贫穷孩子多么需要帮助的实例开始。另外，用具体的统计数据也是一个有效的引出论题的方法，比如：你要谈遵守交通规则的话题，你可以从举一系列有关车辆、车祸等的数据开始。
3）论证对提出的论题，不可主观地妄下结论，而要进行客观的论证。这是演讲中最需要下功夫的部分。关键是要把道理讲清楚。常见的论证方法有举例法、因果法、对比法等等，可参见英语议论文的有关章节。
4）结论结论要简明扼要（以给听众留下深刻印象。
5）结尾结尾要简洁，不要拉拉扯扯，说个没完。特别是不要受汉语影响，说些类似“准备不足，请谅解”，“请批评指正”这样的废话。最普通的结尾就是：Thank you very much for your attention
格式：
1、顶格写称谓语（如：亲爱的老师）
2、下一行空两格写问候（如：大家好）
3、正文
4、结尾（如：谢谢大家）
写法：
1、内容上的现实性
演讲稿是为了说明一定的观点和态度的。这个观点和态度一定要与现实生活紧密相关。它讨论的应该是现实生活中存在的并为人们所关心的问题。它的观点要来自身边的生活或学习，材料也是如此。它得是真实可信，是为了解决身边的问题而提出和讨论的。
2、情感上的说服性
演讲的目的和作用就在于打动听众，使听者对讲话者的观点或态度产生认可或同情。演讲稿作为这种具有特定目的的讲话稿，一定要具有说服力和感染力。很多著名的政治家都是很好的演讲者，他们往往借肋于自己出色的演讲，为自己的政治斗争铺路。
3、特定情景性
演讲稿是为演讲服务的，不同的演讲有不同的目的、情绪，有不同的场合和不同的听众，这些构成演讲的情景，演讲稿的写作要与这些特定情景相适应。
4、口语化
演讲稿的最终目的是用于讲话，所以，它是有声语言，是书面化的口语。因此，演讲稿要“上口”、“入耳”，它一方面是把口头语言变为书面语言，即化声音为文字，起到规范文字、有助演讲的作用；另一方面，演讲稿要把较为正规严肃的书面语言转化为易听易明的口语，以便演讲。同时，演讲稿的语言应适应演讲人的讲话习惯，同演讲者的自然讲话节奏一致。
演讲稿对于演讲都有哪些作用呢？主要体现在以下几方面：（1）整理演讲者的思路、提示演讲的内容、限定演讲的速度；（2）引导听众，使听众能更好地理解演讲的内容；（3）通过对语言的推究提高语言的表现力，增强语言的感染力。
由于演讲稿具有以上的特征和作用，它在写作方法上也有一定方法可循。
i have a goodfriend,he is a boy,he has a very nice name—robert.he comes from england.he has big eyes,they are round and cute.he comes to china with his parents.we know each other since last year.from then on,we become goodfriends. at weekends,we often get together to play basketball,he plays it very well,and,he sings well,too.he teaches me english and i teach him chinese. we are goodfriends forever.
翻译：我有一个好朋友，他是一个男孩，他有一个非常好听的名字—罗伯特。他来自英格兰，他有一对大眼睛，它们很圆很可爱。他和他的父母一起来中国。我们从去年开始认识。从那时候起，我们成为好朋友了。
在周末，我们经常一起打篮球，他打得非常好，而且，他歌唱得很好听。他教我英语然后我教他中文。
我们永远都是好朋友。
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.
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
I came to a small island. There is a castle in front of me, a beautiful gate. I pushed the door open, staring eyes, I am all kinds of candy like a hill!

A man appeared in front of me. He was dressed in a black robe, said to me, "learning to use, to read to learn useful book." I woke up at once, it was only a dream.
I think learning should be active, hard, don’t give up don’t understand the problem,to say, "yes, I can!" As the dream to become the person you want to be, do what you want to do.

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.

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。
一个人的生命就像一艘航行在海上的船，有时在公海上需要控制方向的船只，如果在正确的方向，船在最小风萧朗迪晃荡船体。如果方向不对，可能是吞海啸，无论如何，船不能一帆风顺。
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。
My Dream
I dream of being a policewoman.
My father is a policeman. He always has to work extra hours and comes
home late and tired. He has to go to the police station immediately any time he is needed, no matter how late it is at night. I once asked him why he chose this hard job. He answered with a smile, “Yes I am sometimes very tired but I’m happy when I help others. ”
As I grow up, I gradually come to understand her words. I made up my mind to be a policewoman.
I want to help others. I want to see people living happily with their families and friends. So I want to be a policewoman.
Being a policewoman is my dream. I think it is simple but meanful .
My Dream
I dream of being a doctor.
My mother is a doctor. She always has to work extra hours and comes
home late and tired. She has to go to the hospital immediately any time she is needed, no matter how late it is at night. When I was very little and still in
primary school, I once asked her why she chose such a boring and hard job. She answered with a smile, “Yes I am sometimes very tired but seeing my patients getting better and better makes me happy from the bottom of my heart.”
As I grow up, I gradually come to understand her words and realize doctors are noble. I made up my mind to be a doctor when I was in junior school and this has never changed since then.
I really hope to see a world where there is no cancer, no Aids, no fatal
disease, no one suffering from illness. But this is only a fantasy. What about the reality? There are still many many people who are faced with disastrous disease and suffering from constant pain. There are still many many people living in miserable condition and live miserably. There are still many many people dying of cancer and leaving the beautiful world reluctantly. All those things make me feel sad because I think everyone has the right to live . I want to help the sick and reduce their pain as much as I can. I want to bring a healthy body to the patients and save their lives as many as I can. I want to see people cured ,living happily with their families and friends after my treatment. So I want to be a doctor ,an angel in white.
When I become a doctor, I will cherish each life regardless of the races,
sexes, ages, positions and occupations. I will do every bit to cure the incurable.
I already have a dream in my heart,so I have to make every effort to realize it.As a high school student now,I will seize every chance to study hard,arm
myself with knowledge, prepare myself for the future and strive for my dreams. I will be determined, face the reality bravely and not surrender to any problems I meet.
Is’s like Gothe says,“The important thing in life is to have a great aim and be determined to attain it.”Being a doctor is my dream. I think it is simple but meanful.
Dear:
Good afternoon, everyone!
The national student sports program, waged by the Ministry of Education and aimed at improving students health, was held from 10：00a.m.~11:00a.m.on April 29，20xx in many primary and middle schools all over China. Almost 11 million students in Jiangsu province participated in this program.
The Ministry of Education advocates that we do exercises for one hour a day and can work healthily for 50 years. Our whole life will be very enjoyable.
In my opinion, we senior high school students should do exercises for one hour a day even though our spare time is limited. Health is a basic condition for our study. If we did not do exercises, we wouldn’t be able to get good study records. So every one of you, join the program now!
Thank you!
I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. We all know that Bingxin has a famous saying “we always admire the beauty of flowers but its sprout was watered by tears of struggle and rained by blood of sacrifice”.
So for the majority， behind their success， are filled of sweat and tears. Eagle flying in the vast firmament， must be experienced the pain of countless times fall under the cliff， then hammered out a pair of volley wings. A shinning of pearls， inevitably suffered countless body friction and numerous waves’ shock. In this view， a real successful people， and he must experienced numerous times to stand up again and agin after failed， because without sweat and tears on the life road ，no one can casually get the beautiful flowers. Alfter a heavy fall Shi Tiesheng lost his legs， it must be a heavy blow for anyone. But he didn’t lose faith in life， but use his brain and hands to show the infinite love of life.
Beethoven was blind and deaf， but he still had written the ”Hero””Destiny”nd so on a large number of music works， in his unfortunately life， he doggedly gripped the ”fate of the throat. They all had a fall， but they are strong enough to stand up， fight against fate and misfortune， finally they succeed. So for each of us， wrestling is not terrible， lose confidence and courage in life is the most terribe thing. In my opionion， the sweat and tears during the life’ journey are very important for us， they hone our will， and enrich our experience.
As the saying goes， how can you see the rainbow without a rainy day， while you don’t work hard and not struggle， how can you gain the successful flowers. All in all， the sweat and tears on the struggling road is inevitable， don’t look for shortcuts anymore， steadfast walk every step， we will succeed in the end.
So belief yourself， nothing is impossile， just do it. Thank you for taking your time to listen to my speech， I hope in the near future we all can be successful.
Life isnt about keeping score. Its not about how many friends you have or how accepted you are.
Not about if you have plans this weekend or if youre alone.
It isnt about who youre dating, who you used to date, how many people youve dated, or if you havent beem with anyone at all.
It isnt about who you have kissed.
Its not about sex.
It isnt about who your family is or how much money they have Or what kind of car you drive.
Or where you are sent to school.
Its not about how beautiful or ugly you are.
Or what clothes you wear, what shoes you have on, or what kind of music you listen to.
Its not about if your hair is blonde, red, black, or brown or if your skin is too light or too dark.
Not about what grades you get, how smart you are, how smart everybody else thinks you are, or how smart standardized tests say you are.
Its not about representing your whole being on a piece of paper and seeing who will "accept the written you."
different people have different lifestyles. they do the same things from morning to evening every day.
usually, they write their plans on paper. but sometimes they remember what things they will do in their minds. i also have my own lifestyle. it is wonderful! i get up early on weekdays, and do the school things then. but at the weekend, i never get up early. i sometimes stay in bed until lunchtime. one day, i stayed in bed very late. it was a weekday. the clock rang. it was six thirty. but i didn’t hear it. i stayed in bed until seven o’clock. i looked at the clock and jumped from the bed to the floor. i was afraid, “oh, my god, i will be late.” i shouted. so i didn’t have breakfast. i put on my shoes and took a taxi to the school. i was in good luck that day. i wasn’t late for school. i was pleased that time.
i think i should get up earlier on weekdays or i will be late. i believe you get up earlier on weekdays.
best wishes for you.
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.
Discovering Beauty
Life is full of beauty. Beauty lies not only in nature but also in our heart. If we have a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted, we can find beauty everywhere around.
Let beauty be our guide to understand ourselves. People always have a strong desire for better appearance. Whatever their age, size, or shape, they hope to look more attractive. Beauty is only skin deep. But true beauty lies deep inside us. A heart for love is the most valuable. Only in our heart does beauty make our life beautiful.
Let beauty be our way to communicate with nature. At the foot of the hill, we see beauty running in the clear river smoothly. On top of the mount, we see beauty rising with the dawn from the east quietly. In the heat of summer, we see beauty dancing with the autumn leaves. In the cold of winter, we see beauty coming with the spring upon sprouts. We shout, we love you, Nature! Our voice reverberates across the mountains, while beauty reverberates in our heart!
Let beauty be our bridge between man and nature. In the harmony, beauty is a garden for ever in bloom and a flock of angels for ever in flight.
Beauty is something to see, to breathe, to feel and to complete. Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.
If there is any single factor that makes for success in living,it is theability to profit by defeat.Every success I know has been achieved because theperson was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his nextundertaking.
Confuse defeat with failure,and you are doomed indeed to failure.For itisn't defeat that makes you fail:it is your own refusal to see in defeat theguide and encouragement to success.
Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of.They are routine incidents in the lifeof every man who achieves success.But defeat is a dead loss unless you do faceit without humiliation,analyze it and learn why you failed.Defeat,in otherwords,can help to cure its own cause.Not only does defeat prepare us forsuccess,but nothing can arouse within us such a compelling desire to succeed.Ifyou let a baby grasp a rod and try to pull it away,he will cling more and moretightly until his whole weight is suspended.It is this same reaction whichshould give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated.
If you exploit the power which defeat gives,you can accomplish with it farmore than you are capable of.
Good morning !
my great pleasure to share my dream with you today.I have kept the dream in my mind for so long that whoever in the sun is able to live a happy life for ever.
I think this dream is deeply rooted in the future. As we can see, we are now not far away from violence, poverty, diseases, environmental pollution and even wars. Most of people are in need of what they have never enjoyed. However, I still can stick to my innermost dream, as I still can see the bright lights in our future. I believe, there will be a day when those from the rich counties are really willing to share what they have with those from the poor countries; there will be a day when we are surprised to find that the word poverty has long been out of our memories; there will be a day when we are together to share our dreams and we will all contribute to making our common dreams come true.
I will not just wait but to take action to live in my dream.
it is a commonplace among moralists that you cannot get happiness by pursuing it. this is only true if you pursue it unwisely. gamblers at monte carlo are pursuing money, and most of them lose it instead, but there are other ways of pursuing money, which often succeed. so it is with happiness. if you pursue it by means of drink, you are forgetting the hangover. epicurus pursued it by living only in congenial society and eating only dry bread, supplemented by a little cheese on feast days. his method proved successful in his case, but he was a valetudinarian, and most people would need something more vigorous. for most people, the pursuit of happiness, unless supplemented in various ways, is too abstract and theoretical to be adequate as a personal rule of life. but i think that whatever personal rule of life you may choose it should not, except in rare and heroic cases, be incompatible with happiness. if you look around at the men and women whom you can call happy, you will see that they all have certain things in common.
the most important of these things is an activity which at most gradually builds up something that you are glad to see coming into existence. women who take an instinctive pleasure in their children can get this kind of satisfaction out of bringing up a family. artists and authors and men of science get happiness in this way if their own work seems good to them. but there are many humbler forms of the same kind of pleasure. many men who spend their working life in the city devote their weekends to voluntary and unremunerated toil in their gardens, and when the spring comes, they experience all the joys of having created beauty. the whole subject of happiness has, in my opinion, been treated too solemnly.
it had been thought that man cannot be happy without a theory of life or a religion. perhaps those who have been rendered unhappy by a bad theory may need a better theory to help them to recover, just as you may need a tonic when you have been ill. but when things are normal a man should be healthy without a tonic and happy without a theory. it is the simple things that really matter. if a man delights in his wife and children, has success in work, and finds pleasure in the alternation of day and night, spring and autumn, he will be happy whatever his philosophy may be. if, on the other hand, he finds his wife fateful, his children’s noise unendurable, and the office a nightmare; if in the daytime he longs for night, and at night sighs for the light of day, then what he needs is not a new philosophy but a new regimen–a different diet, or more exercise, or what not. man is an animal, and his happiness depends on his physiology more than he likes to think. this is a humble conclusion, but i cannot make myself disbelieve it. unhappy businessmen, i am convinced, would increase their happiness more by walking six miles every day than by any conceivable change of philosophy.
The first door I see is the opportunity to study different kinds of subjects that interest us. My aunt said she was happy to study management, but she was also happy that she could attend lectures on ancient Chinese poetry and on Shakespearean drama. As for myself, I am an English major, but I may also go to lectures on history. To me, if college education in the past emphasized specialization, now, it emphasizes free and well-rounded development of each individual. So all the fine achievements of human civilization are open to us.
The second door is the door to the outside world. Learning goes beyond classrooms and national boundaries. My aunt remembers her previous college days as monotonous and even calls her generation “frogs in a well.” But today, as the world becomes a global village, it is important that our neighbors and we be open-minded to learn with and from each other. I have many fellow international classmates, and I am applying to an exchange program with a university abroad. As for my aunt, she is planning to get an MBA degree in the United Kingdom where her daughter, my cousin, is now doing her master's degree in biochemistry. We are now taking the opportunity to study overseas, and when we come back, we'll put to use what we have learnt abroad.
I have a happy family: Has me, daddy, mother. My father is one very strict, but the very humorous person, my mother is also very beautiful, because she likes by the beautiful development at the same time in front of others. They are the merchants, therefore is very busy, but actually very much cared that pays attention to my life and the study. My hobby hits the computer, studies English, plays the piano, I like all with the music related matter, moreover likes in the clear weather the morning taking a walk the seashore. My father daddy likes the outdoor activity, takes a walk and likes in the morning and the evening reads the newspaper, and said frequently with me about the society in the matter! Mother compares likes looking that the television watches the serial TV opera. But she looks like every day is quite busy! looks that father and mother rush about tired, sometimes I how want to make anything for father and mother, but father and mother always say me now most importantly the long spot society experience and the multi-study knowledge! therefore, I thought that now I must study well most importantly, after growing up, give my father mother the happy life.
good evening ，ladies and gentlemen：
thank you very much for choosing to e in such a cold night。today my topic is about choice and process。a research shows that a man has to make 73 choices one day。with so many choices one day， people easily get so confused and afraid of making wrong choice that they hesitate and finally miss the true part of life。 in my opinion， the following part is of much more importance than the choice。 there is no absolute right or wrong choice but wonderful or boring life， which the process makes the difference。
life is a box of chocolate，you never know what you will get。 forrest gump made no decision by and for himself but he acplished great success with his strong will in the process。 the process is not the road itself but the attitudes and feelings ，the caution， courage and persistance we have as we encounter new experience and unexpected obstacles。 take myself as an example， i changed my major when i became a postgraduate。 after the choice，days have been harsh for me。i cannot understand the new lessons at all。 for they are closely related to mathmatics which i learned nothing about before。 however wuth the belief that this is the great chance for me to experience new ideas and challenge myself，i persisted。 i asked for help from every channel and reorgonized my life。 gradually i could understand some parts and even found maths interesting。moreover， i learned to act instead of plaining。 in retrospect，the choice left no trace in my mind but the happiness and bitterness of the past four months bees an unforgetable experience in my life。
no matter what the choice is， enjoy the process。 in the process， your potential will be inspired and new discoveries，improvement and progress will e to you。 these are the most beautiful sceneries and only on the way can you see it。these make your life colorful。
there is no need and i donnot want to judge whether it right or wrong for me to be here，but i congratulate to myself for i gain and enjoy this fantastic experience。 so my dear friends，never worry about your choice and enjoy the process。 i am sure you will get something new and intersting tonight after you chose to e here。
thank you！
Good morning teachers and fellow students. Today we would like to introduce a few favorite books to you.
My favorite book is (Italian: Cuore). This is a diary written by an Italian boy Eico. The diary is about his life and study. It included various touching stories that happened around Eico, the mottos taught by his parents, as well as the wonderful ten "monthly" stories told by his teacher during the class. Every word in the chapter describes the word "love". From patriotism to friendship, and to the love between parents and child -- really touching.
This novel taught me how to love, and how to learn from love. I really like this book very much. How about you? )so when i sitting at the computer desk,he will say something like ‘you should pay more attention to your study’， ‘don’t waste time on the computer games, ‘it will be bad for your eyes’ and so on. how can i- a computer fan ? reduce time on computer? so i continue studying and playing on it
Years pasted, my father is over 45 now. it is time for me to look after him and i am sure i will do and we will live an even better life. and i will say,i really love you dad,cause you are the hero in my mind.
Thank you so much!

女士们，先生们：
下午好!我的演讲题目是沙尘暴。
沙尘暴是我国北方地区春季日益频繁发生的一种恶劣天气。虽然我才13岁，但也经历过多次了。
我想大家对上月发生的沙尘暴记忆犹新，它席卷了11个省，给我国造成了很大的损失。
正如您从电视上看到的.，沙尘暴所到之处，狂风卷着黄沙和尘土肆劣横行，有时候一些大树都被从中间吹倒了。鸟儿失去他们的家园，孩子们也找不到回家的路，就像到了世界末日。
当沙尘暴发生时，我们的教室也充满了沙尘。可怜的老师，尽管已饱受粉笔灰之苦，现在又不得不待在灰尘中。可怜的同学们，他们告诉我简直都要窒息了!
我们热爱美丽的春天，我们珍爱明媚的阳光。但是沙尘暴给这些蒙上了阴影，我们知道，沙尘暴是大自然母亲对我们破坏生态劣行的惩罚。要重新看到蔚蓝的天空和明媚的春光，我们必须绿化山川，保护环境。如果我们现在就开始，还不晚。
虽然这是一项艰巨的任务，但是我们必须勇敢地面对，因为这是一场我们必须获胜的战斗!
And for five years neither the United States nor South Vietnam has moved against these enemy sanctuaries because we did not wish to violate the territory of a neutral nation. Even after the Vietnamese Communists began to expand these sanctuaries four weeks ago, we counseled patience to our South Vietnamese allies and imposed restraints on our own commanders. In contrast to our policy the enemy in the past two weeks has stepped up his guerrilla actions, and he is concentrating his main forces in these sanctuaries that you see in this map, where they are building up to launch massive attacks on our forces and those of South Vietnam. North Vietnam in the last two weeks has stripped away all pretense of respecting the sovereignty or the neutrality of Cambodia. Thousands of their soldiers are invading the country from the sanctuaries. They are encircling the capital of Pnompenh. Coming from these sanctuaries, as you see here, they had moved into Cambodia and are encircling the capital. Cambodia, as a result of this, has sent out a call to the United States, to a number of other nations, for assistance. Because if this enemy effort succeeds, Cambodia would become a vast enemy staging area and a springboard for attacks on South Vietnam along 600 miles of frontier: a refuge where enemy troops could return from combat without fear of retaliation. North Vietnamese men and supplies could then be poured into that country, jeopardizing not only the lives of our own men but the people of South Vietnam as well.
good morning,dear teacher and my friends.
it’s a very intresting topic today.
i think my dad was a hero for me when i was a young child. we'd go fishing, walks, and other fun things for a kid.
every child has a good and great father, and so do i. my dad played a very important role in my daily life`````exactly speaking, in my past 16 years.
my father always stands in the center of my life， from past till now and possibly in the future.
my family was rather poor when i was in my childhood. we didn't have our own house and had to live in a shabby， small room rented from my father's factory. the room was so small that there was little space for people to walk. i didn't have my own bed and had to sleep with my parents. this is terrible both for my parents and me.
but father made this all different！he works very hard on his own business, now we have our own 2 housese,surly,i have my own room.and he take our family so much happiness, richer and richer.
Sandstorm
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, Today I'm going to talk about sandstorm.
Sandstorm is a kind of bad weather witch is becoming increasingly common in Northwestern China, and it usually happens in spring and fall. Though I'm only 13, I have experienced it and suffered from it quite a lot.
I'm sure most people still remember the sandstorm that happened last month. It swept across the large area of 11 provinces and caused a great loss to our nation.
As you can see on TV, when a sandstorm comes, the wind blows strongly with dust and sand. Sometimes trees are even broken down in half, and little birds cannot find their homes. Sometimes clouds of dust blur the vision, and little kids cannot find their ways. It's like the end of the world.
When a sandstorm occurs, our classroom is filled with dust and sand. My poor teachers! They've breathed in enough chalk-powder. Now, they have to take in much dust. My poor fellow classmates! They told me they were almost dying.
We love beautiful spring. We cherish bright sunshine. But sandstorms destroy all the lovely things. Yet we know it is Mother Nature's revenge on what we have done to her. In order to see blue sky and sunny spring again, we should plant more trees and more grass to protect the environment. And it is not too late if we start right now.
Though it's a hard job to fight against the sandstorm, it is the battle we must fight, and it is a battle we must win!
Thank you!

尊敬的各位家长：
上午好！
作为一名高一学生的家长，想必您时常为孩子的学业问题操心，非常感谢您的支持！
作为英语老师，我也盼望着与您携手，与您交流，共同探讨孩子成才的问题。英语学不好，在今后的社会中就难以立足。我想努力，这就需要您的支持和合作。高中的英语教材（5a）与大学英语教材是配套的，这就意味着：现在的英语成绩不仅直接影响孩子的期末考试与升学，还影响着孩子将来的英语学习！
半年的共同学习，使我半喜半忧，喜的是，我们高一三班的学生都很聪明，接受能力强，学习起来显得很轻松，让我觉得忧虑的是：部分孩子对英语不太重视。（包括与个别家长的交流中，发现有家长也未重视）可能这里也包含许多家长觉得英语不太好辅导，你说语文数学吧，还懂点，这英语吧，还真是不好不懂装懂，所以导致相当一部分的孩子英语基础打得很不牢，个别的孩子甚至拼读、书写、背诵等学习英语的好习惯还没有很好的养成，需要从头开始。但是，孩子们上课时的专注同时也让我感到欣喜。认真的孩子一定能把英语学好！
我确信：英语要学好和智商无关，学不好英语的人都是懒惰的人。
新教材与初中的教材跨度很大，要求也上了几个台阶，对孩子们具有比较大的难度。细心的家长可能就会发现，高中的课本和初中的课本相比，无论是从词汇量，语法还是课文篇幅的长短都有了明显的区别，初中的内容相当简单，它简直就是三年级知识的巩固，稍微有所延伸，而高一一下子就接触并需要掌握两种时态。所以，有些同学很不能适应，初中学得轻松，还考好成绩，怎么到了高一不行了，这样的现象很普遍，说到底，还是好的习惯没有养成，不够勤奋。在这里，我要点名表扬几位学生，她们学习态度端正，上课认真，书写工整，正因为如此，无论什么考试都能取得很好的成绩。另外我还要提几个同学，他们的潜力很大，但因为还不够认真刻苦，所以没有发挥出自己最好的水平，希望家长能够配合老师，把孩子的成绩抓上去。我坚信：如果您的孩子在您的支持和我的指导下能够及时完成我布置的任务，那么一定能学好。要教导您的孩子一开始就要有吃苦耐劳的精神。坚持严谨的学习作风，成绩马上就会见效。
目前的形势决定了英语学科的重要性，请各位家长务必重视英语这一学科，你们思想上重视了，无形中也给孩子以熏陶，重视与不重视肯定是完全不同的，在英语课堂上，大部分学生都能很活跃的回答老师提出的问题，积极跟着老师拼读单词，朗读课文。其实这也制造了一种假象，学生认为自己常常被老师提问，认为自己能够回答老师的问题，于是认为自己的英语学得很不错，自我感觉特别好。于是下课后在英语上花的时间就少了。其实要学好英语，课上占40%，其余的60%还需要学生在课后不断的巩固，加深记忆。在课上老师更多的是教授新知识，当然课上也会有少量的时间巩固新学的知识。但是这些时间是公共的时间，而不是每个学生私有的时间，所以不可能照顾到每个学生，不可能让所有学生都达到相同的程度。况且每个学生对新知识得接受能力都是不同的，有的可能当堂就已经有很深的印象，很难忘记，但这肯定是很少的。大部分学生都只能是初步接触了新知识，要真正接受新知识还要学生在课后多下功夫，不然肯定会和别的同学拉下差距。
那么在课后学生到底该怎么做才能把其余的60%补回来呢？英语毕竟不是我们自己的语言，大多数学生除了英语课其余时间根本就不会想到要说英语，所以，在课后一定要主动抽时间为自己补习英语。学好英语，不外乎就是在听，说，读，写这些方面下功夫。
首先说一下听，每个学生都有和书相配套的磁带，可是请各位家长检查一下自己的子女的英语磁带，有多少学生的磁带还是和刚发的时候一样的，根本就没有听过。不要说另外买什么英语听力磁带或者英语学习的碟片了，连自己手头的磁带都不去听，光靠上课听一点点的磁带，学生的听力根本就不能有什么发展。不会听就不能说，而说白了，学了英语就是要说，那不是白学了么？听录音机跟读，目的应该是两种，一种同学是上课没有完全消化，听录音是补充学习的过程，另外一种是提高自己的听力和口语表达能力，要学生尽力地去模仿录音机里的发音，从而使自己的听力和口语都提高一个层次。
接下来是说，英语是一门语言，学了就是要说，要和别人交流。我们学的英语不应该是哑巴英语，要让每个学生学会勇敢地说出来。在课上我会用各种方法来刺激学生，激发他们说英语的积极性，大多数学生也确实做得很好。可是班级里人多，对每个人来说，说的机会就少。所以下课也要说；放学回家也要说。在学校，我鼓励学生把所学的英语对话运用到生活中去，这样有更真实的情景，更能让学生有发挥的余地。在家里，希望家长也能鼓励学生说英语，也许你会说你自己也听不懂，请不要这样想，其实学生需要是你的鼓励，你听了他们说的只要简单表扬一句，他们就会很满足了。有时候你们也可以不懂装懂，或者还可以让学生反过来教你，他们会觉得很自豪，因为自己所学得派上了用场。
接下来是读。有句话：“读书破万卷，下笔如有神。”学英语也是这样，很多家长也明白，学英语要培养语感，也就是语言的感觉，如果有很好的语感，那么不管是说话，做题目，还是写文章，都很轻松，很简单了。那么语感怎么来呢？就是靠读出来的。一定要让学生养成每天读英语的习惯，这是学英语的最基本的学习习惯了。每天早上一定要读20分钟左右的英语，哪怕有时候时间来不及了，即使是迟到也要读，并且每天都坚持，绝不因任何原因间断。无论什么事情都贵在坚持嘛。如果你的子女还没有养成这样的学习习惯，请你一定要督促他，刚开始也许会比较难，时间久了，就会习惯成自然。就像早上起来要刷牙洗脸一样，要让他们把读英语当作每天必做的`一件事。
最后是写。主要就是单词短语的默写，这是学英语的必经之路。单词往往背过就容易会忘记，所以要不断的背默写，不断的翻新，这是没有办法的。背单词的时候要边拼边写，嘴巴和手都要动起来，嘴上十遍不如手上一遍。家长在这里要作好检查督促的工作，不要用不懂英语来帮助你的孩子学会偷懒，你可以报中文，让你的孩子默写，然后对照书本批改订正，每天坚持的话，你一定会有意想不到的效果。还有句型，学生应该在课上领会句型的意思和运用方法。课后还需要通过多读课文，多练习才能巩固所学的句型。所以请各位家长不光要注重孩子背单词短语的情况，还要让他重视句子的重要性。
Dear:
Somebody says"Time is money".But I think time even more important than money.Because when money is gone,we can get it back.But when time is gone,it'll never be back.
Every day we have 24 hours.We sleep,we have meals and we rest.They are necessery and will take a lot of time.Then how can we spend the rest of the time?
Someone do the reading,do exercises and learn a lot of things.They never waste(浪费）any time.They live happily and healthily.
However,someone just waste hour after hour doing nothing useful.They get up very late.They spend all day playing computer games.They hate to learn knowledges.Don't they know that they are wasting part of their own lives?
So please,please save time for ourselves,Our life is limited（有限）,and remember:we have no time to lose.
I believe we all know that we are striving to Dongguan,the national civilized city,so we need no extra points,Dongguan civilization.Dongguan What is the result of civilization?Dongguan because of you,my civilization and civilized.Our Dongguan If there is no corresponding state of mind,environmental atmosphere and civilized behavior,there would be no
civilization,Dongguan,Dongguan,includes both material civilization,Dongguan,also includes the spirit of Dongguan,Dongguan,the spirit of all of us who need a common,a long-term efforts.Civilization is a step forward in scientific thinking,behavior of the upright habit of improvement,the improvement of cultivation,quality upgrading; it is the liberation of humanity,freedom,perfection and beyond.Growth from an educational point of view,civilization is on a farewell to the ignorance and vulgarity,is conscious control of human nature to overcome and defeat does not meet the social,legal,discipline,morality instincts desire is to their mutual hostility from each other to prevent the liberation of out,from the war to liberate the soul from the narrow utilitarian and secular fetters freed ......the reality of our growth and development needs call for the return of civilization,reconstruction and development,looking around four are still frequent the same uncivilized phenomenon appeared around us.For example:Language uncivilized,some students have exported into a dirty,fights curse events also occasionally occur; environment is not clean and tidy,along with the duty of
labor,some students of the damage to the environment,drink cups,tissues,plastic bags,scraps of paper discarded everywhere,and even worked tirelessly around these things Tibetan,4 plugs,not promptly clean up garbage and refuse into the room,and some garbage near secretly swept under the bed,and some bags of garbage will be placed on the public corridor,and some will be Garbage from the 2nd floor as "high-altitude dropped," we do not reach out to more people picking up garbage around,these are all against the background of our poor health habits,health awareness is weak.Can be seen that the ugly conflict between civilization and the very existence of Dongguan to arouse the attention of all,it needs action.
Having fun
When having to make a choice most people think they have to choose between the two. Far too often people go for the latter and naturally choose fun. For instance many people would prefer watching television, or more commonly known as TV to exercising, we all know that it’s true, right? The problem is, if you don’t exercise you will become weak and ultimately out of shape and it is no fun to be out of shape, right? So the question is, why not turn exercise into fun?
As an example, if TV is your favorite thing to do, why not connect your TV set to an electric generator that is charged by a stationary bike, you know, the kind of bike you peddle, that doesn’t go anywhere. So think about it, the more you watch TV, the fitter you’ll be.
Now if you are the kind of person who thinks listening to music is fun and you spend many hours alone tap tap tapping your fingers and your toes to the beat, why not take it one step further and get up on your feet and dance, dance, dance.
Or maybe you’re the type of person who prefers being with your friends. There are many ways one could have fun with their pals. For instance you could just hang out and do nothing or better yet you could get into a friendly game of basketball or football there is no rule that says everyone has to be as good as Yao Ming or David Beckham, right?
However sometimes there just aren’t enough players, or you may even be alone in which case you could go for a ride on your bike, maybe, stop by the library to borrow a book, or go for a walk around the park and enjoy the sunshine and scenery. Before you know it, you’re having fun.
Let’s face it, exercise is work and when we think of work we think of thankless underpaid hardships yet it needn’t be this way, if we think of exercise as fun.
Chaucer was over seventy , but he was not convinced of his age. At a time he boasted: “Myphysical strength is as strong as that I was young.” The opposite person asked: “ What do yourely on? ” Chaucer said : “ There is a big stone roller in my compound. I couldn’t heave it whenwas young, neither can I now.”
乔叟年过六旬，仍不服老。一次，他对人夸耀说：“我和年轻时力气一样大。”对方问：“何以见得?”乔叟说：“我家大院里有个石头，年轻时我举不起来，现在我还是举不起来。”
