No One Can Be Perfect
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Today I want to tell you a story about one of my friends, a lovely and smart girl who is always ready to help others. Being our grade leader, she is good at both work and study. In many people's opinion, she is excellent and perfect. But one day she told me she was gloomy and insecure. People around her considered her outstanding and flawless, thinking she could handle everything. But the more she thought about herself, the more disappointed she became. She found that she was far from perfection. Last week, she didn’t do well in her French quiz, and the day before yesterday, she was late for a conference. She felt depressed and frustrated, because she failed to be a perfect girl without any mistakes.
I was surprised to hear that for I thought she had every reason to be confident. However, the expectation of perfection has become a burden to her. I told her no one could be perfect and I suggested she find her own position.
In fact, people are so eager to be perfect that they demand too much of themselves. They want to be special and unique, and they want to have no defects or weaknesses. However, we can never avoid mistakes and errors. It’s impossible for us to be a superman or a superwoman. No matter how successful we are, there are always some flaws. If we hold that everything should be perfect, we would be overcritical.
My friend now has changed her attitude. She accepts her shortcomings but still keeps a positive outlook. She is even more active and doesn’t allow the mistakes to hinder her pursuit of excellence. And I think that’s the way we should be!That’s all. Thank you!
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 amstanding here giving my speech is somehow also success.
However, as a person’s whole life is concerned, success becomes verycomplicated. 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.
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!
Many people want to believe that finding happiness is all about finding orgetting something that they want. However, not many people have ever foundlong-term happiness by achieving a goal. There will always be another thing thatthey want. There will always be another exam or another dollar.
许多人都相信,找到幸福就等于找到或得到他们的心仪之物。然而,很多人并没有在目标实现之后就获得长久的幸福。这是因为人们总想要得到更多的东西,总还要走入考场,总还要赚更多的钱。
To break this vicious cycle, we must find our happiness somewhere else—within ourselves. In other words, happiness is completely an inside job. Thekey to finding happiness is to understand that happiness is a choice rather thanthe result of an experience. We have been given everything
为了打破这种恶性循环,我们必须在其他地方找到幸福——那就是在我们的内心世界里。换句话说,幸福是心灵的产物。得到幸福的关键就在于要懂得幸福是一种选择,而不是经历的结果。
We need to be happy. Allow yourself to choose happiness. If life wasperfect, would you be happy? Life is perfect because we create it with ourchoices. Since we can create life, we can create happiness and choose how muchbetter our lives can get!
我们已经拥有获得幸福所需要的一切。去选择自己的幸福吧!倘若生活是完美的,你会觉得幸福吗?人生之所以完美就因为它是我们通过选择创造出来的。既然我们能创造生活,我们就能创造幸福,并选择更美好的人生!
Only when we can accept that life is perfect as it is, and that our livesare the sum total of everything that has happened up to this moment, can weaccept the joy and the happiness we deserve.
我们只有在接受生活原本就很完美,并且生活就是此刻所经历之事的全部之时,我们才能得到我们应得的那份喜悦与幸福。
I’m proud of being a teacher Wenyang Central Primary School Wu Jianjian Dear ladies and gentlemen,It’s my honor to stand here to make a speech topic today is “I’m proud of being a teacher”.
This summer I was lucky to take part in the summer English training for primary school of of my foreign teachers T.J. impressed me y morning and afternoon before classes,he always asked us to say “Teachers are the greatest profession in the world.”It influenced me very be a teacher may be not a good job,but I don’t regret my choice.
I always remembered a message from one of my happened on a spring student made rapid progress in the final sent me a said,“Dear Ms Wu,you treated me like my out your help,I could not make so much ks for your help.I love you forever,Ms you be happy every day.”I was excited to receive the my opinion,I just encouraged him often and taught him some learning it helped him a it,I knew my choice of being a teacher was right.I’m proud of being a teacher.
So, in my opinion, we teachers must pay more attention and patience to children and above all——love them. If you give a little love to children，you will get back a great deal.
So,I will try my best to put all my heart and soul in the teaching.I’ll regard every student as my own use I’m a hers are the greatest profession in the world. I’m proud of being a teacher. That’s k you.
the duality of money has been puzzling people since its first appearante.on the one hand, clean money can sweeten your life, help you succeed and be yourlifelong faithful companion. on the other hand, dirty money may posion yourmind, ruin your happiness and discard you suddenly as a false friend.
the market economy tells us that everyone should earn a living by sellingsomething. professors sell their knowledge, workers sell their labor, farmerssell their produce. money now appears more powerful than anything else anddrives people crazy. the temptation of money often challenges one’s honor. weare not ashamed to make more money to have a better life by our sweat.however,there is a widespread concern that millionaires become the heroes nomatter whether they make any contribution to our society. some people trydesperately to make big money, which, more often than not, end up withdegradation, corruption and crime.
though money is indispensable to our life, dirty money may drag us intohell. there are many things no money can buy. we will keep our honor intact atany cost because it is our soul. love of money is the root of all evil. formyself, i would rather die than dishonor myself for money.
自从钱存在的第一天开始，对于钱的定义一直令人费解。一方面，干净钱能变甜你的生活，帮助你取得成功，并成为您一生忠实的伴侣。另一方面，脏钱可能破坏你的幸福和抛弃你突然作为一个虚假的朋友。
市场经济告诉我们，每个人都应该谋生卖东西。教授出售他们的知识，出售他们的劳动工人，农民出售他们的农产品。钱现在看来更强大的比其他任何事情都和驱动器的人疯了。金钱的诱惑常常挑战一个人的荣誉。我们并不感到羞耻赚更多的钱有一个更美好的生活我们的汗水。然而，人们普遍关切的是，成为百万富翁的英雄，无论他们做出任何贡献，我们的社会。有些人试图拼命赚钱，而更多的，往往不是最终退化，腐败和犯罪。
虽然钱是必不可少的，我们的生活，脏钱可能拖累我们带入地狱。有很多事情没有钱可以买到。我们将继续我们的荣誉完整不惜任何代价，因为这是我们的灵魂。爱钱是万恶之源。我自己，我宁可死比侮辱自己的钱。
my simple teaching life
good morning ,teachers and students. my name is fuxian from songzhuang primary school. the name of my speech is >is my greatest honor to be here today. i would like to share my english learning and teaching experience with you .
i studied english educashion at my college. i chose this major just because its tuition was not high at that time. then half a year before my graduation i came to shandong to be an english teacher. far away from my hometown. then i have lived here for 7 years and taught for 7 years too. i love teaching. i love talking to my students.
how do i enjoy myself with my students? i don’t think i can express how i love my students in a few words. i just know, they are the future of china; they are infinity in my hand. what could i do with them? to wait, to be patient, to expect and to love. from them, every teacher must see their future, teaching and guiding them responsibly.
and then, as teachers, not only do we need to be friendly to them, but also all the time we have to be ready for helping them. once two girls in my class went out for wandering from home without telling anyone else including their patents. in fact, they just wanted to escape from the family, which was full of quarreling. it’s not hard to imagine how worried their parents were! but they had no way to communicate with them, nor find them. as class teacher, there was no time. i decided quickly to help the holpless parents. and i tried to contact with their classmates to make sure what they had talked about the going before. then i spent the whole night in looking for them with their parents in the city. after a long time searching, we found the girls . when they saw me, their class teacher, they cried loudly and sadly. everything was ok after they told me their complaints to parents. at that time, i knew, sometimes, the teacher was the very bridge between parents and their children. how important, how great to be a teacher is!
to me, my students are just like the wild flowers. can we see a world or heaven in them? the answer is definitely yes. if you want to enjoy yourself while teaching, respect and love your students as their friends; work hard with full responsibility.
so, what is responsibility? from my point of view, responsibility is accepting what you are facing -- and not complaining your students. responsibility is holding your students' hands and reminding them to watch both ways before crossing their road. when there is something difficult in front of students, responsibility is helping them over them. when your students are in a trouble, responsibility is being there on time to help and guide them -- even if that means you will miss your favorite things.
because i love my students, then i enjoy myself with full is why i together with you,try our best to be an excellent english teacher today!
thank you very much for your attention!
the english speech about success
i’m glad to be here to share with you my definition of success.
when we mentioned the success, the usual worldly criteria are wealth, fame, high social status and something other like that. in reality, we can’t deny t these things in some way. but personally, i believe that success is the realization of people’ hopes and wishes. and to live with a high ideal is a successful life. it is not what one does, but what one tries to do, that make a man strong. so i believe that success is ninety-nine percent mental attitude, it calls for lots of positive quality: effort, love, diligence, efficiency and so on. i think the successful life always have these characters. if a person inherits his family’s millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person in material terms, it just can be said that he has the smooth way of life, he is lucky in some way, but that is not the success .unceasing effort is the price of success. no matter what is the result, we always can get more from the process. what we should do is that insisting on our goals or dreams and always encourage
ourselves to challenge more, to hold the opportunities, never give up. it sounds like simple, but it is really hard to do. also the key points of the success.
relatively speaking, in our daily life, success would be rather simple. for me, i’m standing here to take part in the speech competition is somehow also success. as i’m a easy to suffer from stage fright, i choose to hold this chance, my goal is my own character training——to be more confident, to have more courage to front such situation, i really do it, i have truly gained by participating, i’m success.
what is success? i’m sure that everyone has his own interpretation as i do. in the inspiring words of philips brooks:“ do not pray for tasks equal to your powers ,pray for powers equal to your tasks, then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle.” so believe in our hopes ,believe in ourselves. every one can create the success.
thank you!

honorable judges, fellow students:
good afternoon!
recently, ther is a heated debate in our society. the college students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education at extraordinary places. but will we be able to face the challenge and support ourselves against all odds? will we be able to better the lives of others? will we be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of our country? the cynics say the college students are the pampered lost generation, which would cringe at the slightest discomfort. but the cynics are wrong. the college students i see are eagerly learning about how to live independently. we help each other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take part time jobs to supplement our pocket money.
the cynics say we care for nothing other than grades; and we neglect the need for character cultivation. but again, the cynics are wrong. we care deeply for each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth. last week, thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer.
as college students, we are adolescents at the critical turning point in our lives. we all face a fundamental choice: cynicism or faith, each will profoundly impact our future, or even the future of our country. i believe in all my fellow classmates. though we are still inexperienced and even a little bit childish. i believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challenge and take on our responsibilities. we are preparing to assume new responsibilities and tasks, and to use the education we have received to make our world a better place.
i believe in our future.
尊敬的评委，各位同学：
下午好!
最近，社会上有一场很激烈的争论。大学生是一种稀有特权的享有者，在很棒的地方接受高等教育。但是，我们能面对挑战而无所畏惧吗?我们能够改善他人的生活吗?我们能够承担建设祖国未来的重任吗?
怀疑论者说大学生是被宠坏的一代，一丁点挫折都受不了。但是他们错了，我所看到的大学生正在努力的学习独立生活。我们互相帮助打扫卫生，一起上街砍价购物，一起参加兼职工作来赚零花钱。
怀疑论者说我们除了成绩什么都不关心，从而忽略了性格的培养。但是，他们又错了。我们彼此关心，我们向往自由，我们珍惜公正，我们追求真理。上个星期，很多我的同学去验血，为了给患血癌的孩子贡献自己的'力量。
作为大学生，我们是处在人生分水岭的青年。我们都面临一个重要的选择：怀疑人生还是相信自己，每一种都会给我们的人生带来重大的影响，甚至影响我们祖国的未来。我相信我们的同学们，虽然我们依然缺乏经验，甚至有些志气，但是我相信我们有勇气和自信来面对生活的挑战并承担我们的责任。我们正努力准备接受新的任务，用我们所学习的知识将世界变得更美好。
我对我们的未来充满信心。
I have a few candles stored in a drawer in my dining ’re meantfor romantic dinners and special occasions, but since the arrival of our threechildren they have lain unnoticed among the napkins and other arewaiting to be taken out and lit to share their glow with anyone who will takethe time to bask in their brilliance.
Are not our souls like those candles, patiently waiting for someone to comeand let us be ourselves? We are all waiting for our own moments to shine; weeach have a special light, unmatched by any other.
Candles are made up of wax and a wick; we have bodies, but our essence liesin our minds and les are unique in their colors, shapes and life histories and experiences are the backdrops of who we are, but ourminds are like candle wicks, and make our passions ke the candles inmy drawer, who get used or not used depending on my whims, we control our ownthoughts, and how brightly we will burn or dimly we will shine.
Is your soul candle dimmed by circumstance or lack of passion anddirection? Is it hidden in a drawer of stress, worry or resentment? Make achoice to let yourself shine the way you were meant to shine.

Hello, everyone! It’s my great honor to make a speech today. First, please allow me to introduce myself briefly. I am a student from Zhejiang province. The topic of my speech is “protecting the blue planet”.
We have only one earth,- the blue planet. There are everything that adults and children are suitable to live. That is the same meaning of human’s home. Therefore, our children’s future depended on our action. However, we are facing many problems nowadays. For example, environment pollution, climate change and reduction of resources. It’s significant to know how to protect our world.
To begin with, we should understand the problem of environment pollution is more and more serious all around the world. With the development of industry and agriculture, cars make great noises and give off poisonous gas. Waste water is being poured continuously by some industries. What‘s worse, people are cutting down increasing number of trees which is used to make oil. What we can do first is to enhance our consciousness with strengthens.
Second, in order to save our resources, such as trees, electricity and water. We can see saving the resources as our duty. In our daily life, we could use cloth bags rather than plastic bags. Also, reducing the frequency of using the disposable products even rejecting. When it comes to save water, we can turn off the tap whenever we see. To governments or sections of organizations, we should create some policies and implement them when we faced with a global threat. Let’s do an experiment, if you carry out my suggestion a week or a month, you will become more enjoyable and meaningful. And the company will become one of the sustainable enterprises.
Last but not the least, the epidemic of covid-19 was outbreak unconsciously, we have no choice, but to unite, and do it fast. Under the circumstances, some countries choosed not to cooperation. I must say, it was an incredibly shortsighted approach. Though covid-19 is exposed first in China, it didn’t mean we are the only one origin of this disease. As the disease found, China governments at all levels have taken the protecting work priority. By sharing the vaccines and medicines in time, the condition of covid-19 turned well among our country. On one hand, our government carried the pleasure from the world. On the other hand, our people were facing the fear. It’s unfair to criticize China. In my view, we should transform the world in one generation to a conscious, listening world- a world of connection, a world of understanding and a world of peace.
Just like the Martin Luther King “I have a dream”, I hope our world can create better environment and biodiversity within my lifetime. Wishing hear the voice of youngers and refugees and see their smile because there were no wars in the near future. To think beyond national borders and nationalities. I do willing to protect our earth via my a bit power.
All in all, there is no doubt that we should take measures right now to protect our earth, which is also can be called our forever home. So, what are we waiting for?
Thank you for listening!

Iam always interested in traveling. my reasons are quite（extremely）simple and clear. if anybody is not satisfied with my viewpoint（s）,i shall be greatly surprised at his ways of thinking.
In the first place, traveling increases our knowledge. only by traveling can we see things outside our home town.
In the second place, traveling is good to our health. while we are traveling, we usually exercise our bodies.
Harry S.
Truman: The Truman Doctrine Mr.President, Mr.Speaker, Members of the Congress of the United States: The gravity of the situation which confronts the world today necessitates my appearance before a joint session of the Congress.
The foreign policy and the national security of this country are involved.
One aspect of the present situation, which I present to you at this time for your consideration and decision, concerns Greece and Turkey.
The United States has received from the Greek Government an urgent appeal for financial and economic assistance.
Preliminary reports from the American Economic Mission now in Greece and reports from the American Ambassador in Greece corroborate the statement of the Greek Government that assistance is imperative if Greece is to survive as a free nation.
I do not believe that the American people and the Congress wish to turn a deaf ear to the appeal of the Greek Government.
Greece is not a rich country.
Lack of sufficient natural resources has always forced the Greek people to work hard to make both ends meet.
Since 1940, this industrious, peace loving country has suffered invasion, four years of cruel enemy occupation, and bitter internal strife.
When forces of liberation entered Greece they found that the retreating Germans had destroyed virtually all the railways, roads, port facilities, communications, and merchant marine.
More than a thousand villages had been burned.
Eighty-five per cent of the children were tubercular.
Livestock, poultry, and draft animals had almost disappeared.
Inflation had wiped out practically all savings.
As a result of these tragic conditions, a militant minority, exploiting human want and misery, was able to create political chaos which, until now, has made economic recovery impossible.
Greece is today without funds to finance the importation of those goods which are essential to bare subsistence.
Under these circumstances, the people of Greece cannot make progress in solving their problems of reconstruction.
Greece is in desperate need of financial and economic assistance to enable it to resume purchases of food, clothing, fuel, and seeds.
These are indispensable for the subsistence of its people and are obtainable only from abroad.
Greece must have help to import the goods necessary to restore internal order and security, so essential for economic and political recovery.
The Greek Government has also asked for the assistance of experienced American administrators, economists, and technicians to insure that the financial and other aid given to Greece shall be used effectively in creating a stable and self-sustaining economy and in improving its public administration.
A New Head Teachers Address to His ClassMy dear fellow boys and girls, my friends, When I stand before the teachers desk, or, I would rather say when I stand on the stage, it seems to me that the purple curtains of both sides are drawing open gently. And on this occasion a play full of vigor is on its way. To my extreme happiness, you all, Class Two of Senior Grade One will perform the play who, I think, will be loyal to your performers each. The play may be one of the longest plays in the world, because it will last three years till your whole period of senior grade. Because of all these, I would like to be a warm-hearted announcer. I would like to take the opportunity to declare that the play by Class Two Senior Grade One begins. Above all, I think, as a head teacher of your class, I should be a well-qualified director. I am eager to direct plays full with modern atmosphere. The key tune will be unity, intentness, earnestness and liveliness. The main contents will be comprehension, friendship and love each other, pioneering and creativity. The main story will be the love of collective and collective of love. As a director, I will carefully design attractive plots, typical characters and striking stories for all of you. Now today every one of you present shows us your own brilliance as you can.
The stage belongs to you.
Of course you are the leading roles.
I will be willing to be a supporting actor and try what I can to serve you all. I will share the enjoyment of your success silently. Moreover, I will be willing to be a pious audience who would like to smile, tear, and applause for your wonderful performances. I will be willing to shake hands with you all with heartfelt words: Congratulate you on your success. When you say goodbye to your middle school life in the end in the three years and when you ascend the stage of life, you will feel greatly that what you get from the class are so valuable to you. What an unforgettable period of your life you have in the class! After three years when our curtains of the class close, I would like to hear your remark on my work; , you are our qualified director as well as a very good supporting actor, and you are still the audience we all like. Thank you for your applause.
From you applause I can see your comprehension and support, although the curtain just begins. Let me wish to have our smooth and successful cooperation!
Is your definition of success a fatal mistake?
For some, success is defined in terms of the dollar amount on a paycheck. For others, it's the title on their business card. Others may define success in terms of the accolades and awards they have won.
But the problem with how people define success these days is that when they're forced to change it, they can't. Look at the businessmen who have committed suicide because they have lost fortunes. Consider the workers who are fired and then go back to work, armed with a gun.
Extreme cases, sure. Not everyone considers killing themselves or others when their livelihood is threatened. But it does point out that maybe we need to revisit our own definition of success.
Start by completing this definition: "Success to me is…"
After you complete this sentence, then review it and determine if you're on the path to achieving that success. If you were to lose your job or money tomorrow, would your definition of success still be valid? Or, would you consider yourself a failure?
I remember a job where I worked long, stressful hours and often labored for a boss who had mood swings like a freaking roller coaster. It made for a tense situation, to say the least. One day I was talking to a co-worker and the exhaustion was overwhelming. I felt so dissatisfied, frustrated and even angry. Then it hit me: If I died that day, I didn't want the only thing on my tombstone to be "Always met her deadlines."
Ugh, I remember thinking. I wanted my life to account for more than that. It wasn't until months later that I started making some real changes in my life, changes that I know made me much better able to balance my life and devote time and effort to more than my job.
Right now, times are tough and some of us are beginning to panic. But I think it's a golden opportunity to really think about what is important in your life, and weed out the things that don't really matter.
You are the one who must define what success is to you. One thing I know for sure: You are more than a job title, you are worth more than a number on a paycheck and you are more than an award to hang on your wall. Is the destination you have in mind worth the road you must travel? Only you can answer that.
ladies and gentlemen: it’s great to see all your smiling faces.
i’m here to talk about our health.

good health is not free. nothing worthwhile is easy.
you have to work and sweat. sweat is good. pain is gain. no pain, no gain.
thirdly, listen to your bodies.
when you feel tired, take a rest. when you feel sleepy, go to bed.
move your bowels once a day. pee whenever you need to. never hold it in.
when i was a kid, my father taught me one important thing. always take care of you feet.
your feet are the most important part of your body. wash your feet every day.
change your socks every day. keep your feet clean dry.
a doctor told me a story about How to take care of our skin. an old lady lived in a castle and never went out into the sum.
her skin was as fair as a baby’s. his advice is this:
never go outside without an umbrella, rain or shine. be sure to use an umbrella with uv protection. fourthly, thin is in.
fat’s not where it’s at.
north, south, east, or west, thin is best. Stay slim. avoid getting fat.
you must burn more calories than you eat. i have three methods for losing weight. number one: eat two oranges before each meal.
a friend of mine lost twelve pounds in a month. number two: rise early. exercise on an empty stomach.
don’t eat anything for an hour after exercising.
number three: eat just a little bit as your lunch, like an slice of bread and a glass of orange juice.
you will certainly bee hungry in the afternoon. naturally you will eat an early dinner.
whenever you feel like eating, change into your sportswear and go get some exercise.
by doing so , you can lose one kilogram a week. more exercise, less eating, is the rule.

I love English. English language is now used everywhere in the world. It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade. Learning English makes me confident and brings me GREat pleasure.
When I was seven, my mother sent me to an English school. At there, I played games and sang English songs with other children . Then I discovered the beauty of the language, and began my colorful dream in the English world.
Everyday, I read English following the tapes. Sometimes, I watch English cartoons.
On the weekend, I often go to the English corner. By talking with different people there, I have made more and more friends as well as improved my oral English.
I hope I can travel around the world someday. I want to go to America to visit Washington Monument, because the president Washington is my idol. 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. I'll introduce China to them, such as the GREat Wall, the Forbidden City and Anshan.
I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well.
If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So I believe as I love English everyday , it will love me too.
as the development of our society, we are all under heavy pressure because of fierce competition, fast-paced lifestyles, and etc. everyday we may face some kind of stress and difficulties from work, school or family. some people think working under pressure keeps us motivated. maybe a little pressure is good for us, but too much pressure is not beneficial to us. in recent years, there has been an increase in stress-related diseases amony college and high-school students.
how to alleviate our pressure in an effective way? how to weaken the effects of stress?
firstly, exercise regularly. physical activity plays a key role in reducing and preventing the effects of stress. make time for at least 30 minutes of exercise, three times per week.
second, eat a healthy diet. well-nourished bodies are better prepared to cope with stress, so be mindful of what you eat.
three, get enough sleep. adequate sleep fuels your mind, as well as your body. feeling tired will increase your stress because it may cause you to think irrationally.
besides, i think that communication can help to reduce the pressure. when people share their worries with others, they will feel less stressed. at that same time, approprite encouragement will also stimulate people to work harder and feel better. for example, when feeling depressed because of the failure in an exam, i often choose to talk with my friends and
parents because they will comfort me, and i will be full of hope again.
also, listening to the gentle music or rock music is a good way to reduce our stress.
in a word, people can use different ways according to different stress.everyone can find the best way that is suitable for himself
Honourable judges, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, good morning. Humanism, by which I mean the will to give people love and care, is the most joyful and meaningful part of being human. From the old days to technologically advanced world, humanism is always telling ordinary but moving stories.
Let me tell you what touched my heart this winter break, one morning when I visited my grandmother in the hospital. Walking down the cold, tiled corridor, I noticed an old man, with his granddaughter – maybe 10 years old – sitting by his side. I was lured there by her voice – light and playful – and after I'd seen them together, I could barely take my eyes away. Delicately draped over this old man's beeping cardiograph was a silk sheet with an ancient, cheerful Chinese poem beautifully written on it – and now, this little girl's entrancing voice lovingly brought these words to life. I stood there transfixed; no longer did I see the family members swimming in nervousness; no longer did I feel the hospital's tense cloud of anxiety; no longer did I hear mortality's soft whispers in the corridors; instead, I saw a startling marriage of juxtaposing images and emotions. I was beholding, I realized, a bewilderingly simple yet overwhelmingly powerful metaphor – one that shows that no matter how cold an environment technology can conjure, humanity is always there. In the forefront or the fringes, it is always there.
For here it was, illustrated vividly before me – the coldness of technology embodied in the hospital walls, while the soulful words of the little girl danced around them in defiance.
This experience opened my eyes in many ways – ever since, I have been acutely aware of, and wonderfully conscious of, the warm heart of humanity surrounding us, whether we choose to recognise it or not. As one psychological theory states, "We see what we want to see". After my experience that day at the hospital, I have chosen to recognize, day by day, the warmth of humanism everywhere I can.
I refuse to accept the negative, narrow-minded, caustic opinions that technology is eroding our souls. I say to them, let the machines continue their monotonous cacophony, for just one smiling face is infinitely more valuable than a thousand churners of binary code; let technological progress develop and develop until it poetically devours itself, because one heartfelt "hello" to a fellow traveller can speak libraries of warmth; let the powermongers and oil barons puff their last cigars, because the love and care, and warmth of humanism will always shine like beacon, reaching out to each and every heart on this small planet.
Although I'll probably never see that little girl or her grandfather again, I'll never forget seeing them there in the hospital that day – and if I did, I'd thank them for showing me how vivid yet subtle, how firm yet fragile, and how invisible yet omnipresent the human spirit is in our world today. Thank you.
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 afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, honorable judges. Today I feel highly honored to stand here and deliver this speech to you. My topic is “Global citizenship begins at home”.
Global citizenship, from my point of view, is a kind of responsibility, a way of behaving, under the tide of globalization.
Since China has been a member of WTO for 6 years, great changes have taken place around us. It’s no wonder that global citizenship deeply affected contemporary Chinese people. As far as the globalization is concerned, we’ll easily find that all the citizens around the world are in the same huge family-----the earth. We care about each other, we learn from each other, we work and have fun together. Just like the slogan of the 29th Olympic Games being held in Beijing says:” One world, one dream.”
Nowadays, we can keep ourselves informed just stay at home because of a variety of media. More and more corporations join together to develop advanced products. We begin to notice the significance of cooperation and gradually realized that we are global citizens whether we are young or old, male or female, rich or poor.
However, at the same time, in order to globalize, we expense so much that we are losing something traditional. Therefore, I believe it’s of great urgency to think globally and act locally.
It goes without saying that we have to confronted with more problems as a consequence of globalization. We should spare no effort to deal with questions of common concern, such as global warming, pollutions, disasters and terrorist activities for we not only belong to our own nation, but the whole world as well.
As a university student, especially us students from college of foreign language, it’s no longer enough for us to pay close attention to our motherland. We are in the competition within a range of the whole world.
Action speaks louder than eloquence. Everyone can be global citizen if he wants to be. If you use paper bags instead of plastic ones, if you remember to turn off the lights when leaving the room, if you read international news everyday, then you’ve already been a global citizen.
To sum up, Global Citizenship Begins at Home. Only if every one of us takes ourselves for global citizen, can our world be more harmonious. That’s all for my speech. Thank you!
Before the implementation of reform and opening-up program pioneered by Mr Dengxiaoping in 1978,China was undergone a serious Recession.Even the country leaves not much discretionary money and therefore our people are in a tight corner.However,after those span of time,China has expierenced a profound transformation never seen in China before.
China has identified the goal for the first 2years of this century.That is to firm seize the important window of statigic opportunities to build a moderately prosperous sociaty of a higher standard in a all-round way for the benefits of our over one billion people.
Ladies and Gentlemen：
Hello everybody! My name is Chen It is my pleasure to be here to share my opinions of growing pains.
Grow up, like a boat in my life, driving the wave surface. Sometimes, be in calm, sometimes be in rough. But the boat I was growing up, not everything is going. For me, sour,sweet,bitter,ho t,everything .
Now, as I grow up, are becoming adults, so in the eyes of parents, I was no longer to be a kid. Sometimes, they say "you've grown up,not a children!" When I listen to this,my head will be pain.
When I was a little boy, my life is so relaxed.But now, in front of the waves are bigger, and more twists and turns the sea,I become a middle school student, that I have all gone past. I'm taller, homework more, study more subjects,have more test.When I was a boy, I am wrong no matter what happened, no one to blame me.But now,if I do something wrong,my parents will shout. The relaxe time will far away from me.I will be more busy.
Study pressure always troubling me. Grown up, more work gradually like hills. After school, I do not dare to play, to see their favorite book, I'm afraid I can't complete the work, I can only try very hard to make the pen in my book on wave, for example, I have to run on the way home. The course also gradually heavy. Every home in the evening review, I looked at a lot of books, I really do not know to study what subject, is Chinese? Or math? Or geography? Or……
What should I do? To look life in the future.
there is a saying goes，“life without a friend is a life without a sun”，that isto say，friendship is indispensable to peoples life.
friendship is to our life what salt is to dasher. when you are happy friendship is just like adding flowers on the brocade; when you are sad friendship is a dose of consolation; if you are in trouble friends will surround you and remove the barriers for you; if you have a hard nut to crack you can turn to friends for help.
every one need friends and if you fail to make friends you should examine yourself and see if there is something wrong with your personality. maybe you have social faults such snobbishness talkativeness and using slang etc. all of that will drive your new acquaintances. whatever your social faults may be look at them honestly and make real effort to correct them.
however what’s actual difficult is that friendship is easier made than kept.there are several important elements necessary to maintain a good friendship.
listen .the ability to really listen to another is a cornerstone of good friendship.it helps you to understand your friend and his/her feelingsas well as shows that you really care.
spend quality time with your friend .no relationship can be satisfying without quality time spend together.make time for your friendschedule get together.
in short when we have established friendship we ought to cherish and treasure it by means of words and deeds. only thus can we develop real friendship and keep the sacred lamp of friendship burning all our life.
Me and my Fears
Honorable judges, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:
It is a great honor and pleasure to be here on this beautiful Saturday morning to share with you my sentiments about life and passion for the English language.
About a year and a half ago, I took part in my very first English Speech Contest. When I stood before the microphone with all eyes starring directly at me, I could hardly speak. I stood there, embarrassed and helpless, struggling in vain for the right thing to say. My fears had paralyzed me.
While my passion for English has never changed, I lost my courage to speak in public. When my professor again encouraged me to take part in this Competition, I said “no.” I couldn’t endure yet another painful experience. He looked me straight in the eye and said something that pierced my heart. I will never forget his words. “Look,” he said, “We all have our fears, and you have yours. You could twist your ankle in a basketball game, but then be afraid to ever play again. Running away can never dispel your fears, but action will. A winner is not one who never fails，but one who never quits.”
I spent a whole day with his words twisting and turning in my mind. Then I made the bravest and wisest decision of my life: I would face my fears – and take part in the competition!
As it turned out, my dear old professor was right. Now, here I am, once again standing before a microphone. My heart is beating fast, and my mouth is dry, but most importantly, I have faced my fears -- and that makes all the difference!
Thank you.
