thirty college students across the country attended the tenth 2 st centurycup national english eaking contest in beijing on april 0. eventually, xia peng,from nanjing university was named the champion. the second and third places wentto zhang jing, a sophomore from china foreign affairs university, and zhang axu, from hong kong polytechnic university, reectively. more than 000 collegestudents in beijing are lucky birds to listen to the eeches on the ot infriendship hotel.
just make to it the finals, they had to get past 60 others eaking on “theimpact of globalization on traditional chinese values”. that was at thesemi-final on april 8-9. what will chinese college students think about theimpact? each contestant had his own take on the subject. xia summed upglobalization by saying: “it’s just controversial and hard to say whether it isgood or bad.” xia took the old wall of his city, nanjing, as a metaphor. he okeabout the conflict over whether to protect the old walls or tear them down torepresent the conflict of ideas. he suggested that people protect the wall as avaluable relic while tearing down the “intangible walls” of their minds thatprevent communication. while some other students are more focusing on the impactof globalization on family relations, attitudes towards love, andjob-hunting.
over the past 0 years, the national english eaking competition has givencontestants a chance to eak on a variety of topics closely related to theirlives. chinese students become more open-minded and receive various ideas andthinking over the decade. diversity becomes more obvious on campus, studentshave more opportunities to express and show themselves. it’s not an easy taskfor the contestants to win through the fierce competition. owning to theirpassion, hard work and persistence, they finally succeeded in the contest.
liu xin, the first champion of the national contest, is now an anchorpersonof cctv-9. recalling the passion of study on campus, she said: “when you want toexpress your idea by a foreign language without finding a right way, you’rereally upset. then you have to encourage yourself, and after a long term ofbitterness, suddenly you find you get the right way with joy.” with the championtitle in 2 st century cup, liu attended the international public eakingcompetition in london in may 996 afterward and got the first prizehistorically.the winner in __ surprised the audience, since she came fromaccounting major instead of english major. gu qiubei, then 22 years old, was asenior in shanghai foreign studies university. while being asked whether she hadsome good methods to learn english, she said: “learn english with passion andenthusiasm.” attracted by the greatness of english language, gu even changed hermajor from accounting to english in her postgraduate study. the most importantissue in english learning process she pointed out is personal interests. onlypeople interested in english benefit a lot from the learning methods and thosewith passion will finally achieve their dreams.
when chief of global media giant viacom sumner redstone gave a eech intsinghua university on his autobiography a passion to win, he was asked whatmade him to restart his career at the age of 60, the 8 -year-old media tycoonsaid: “firstly, there’s a self-driving force in my deep heart, which keeps mypassion to succeed and surpass others; secondly, i don’t think i’m too old toleave work, actually i love my work very much.”
some of the contestants have achieved their dreams as redstone; stillothers are on the way to their dream. with a passion to win, you will overcomeobstacles and succeed at the end.
i’m studying in a city that’s famous for its walls. people who visit mycity are amazed at the imposing sight of its walls, eecially when silhouettedagainst the setting sun with gold, shining streaks. the old, cracked bricks arecovered with lichens and the walls are weather-beaten guards standing still forcenturies.
our ancestors liked to build walls. they built walls in beijing, xi’an,nanjing and many other cities, and they built the great wall, which snakesacross half our country. they built walls to protect against enemies and evilirits. this tradition has survived to this day: we still have many parks andschools walled off from the public.
for a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world tome.
my perceptions, however, changed after i made a hiking trip to the easternsuburbs of my city. my classmates and i were walking with some foreign students.as we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by tall trees, whichformed a wide canopy above our heads. suddenly one foreign student asked me,“where is the entrance to the eastern suburbs?”
“we’re already in the eastern suburbs,” i replied. he seemed taken aback,“i thought you chinese had walls for everything.” his remark set off a heateddebate. at one point, he likened our walled cities to “jails”, while i insistedthat the eastern suburbs were one of the many places in china that had nowalls.that debate had no winners, but i did learn a lot from this student. forinstance, he told me that some major universities like oxford and cambridge werenot surrounded by walls. i have to admit that we do have many walls in china,and as we develop our country, we must look carefully at them and decide whetherthey are physical or intangible. we will keep some walls but tear down thosethat impede our development.
let me give another example.
a year ago, when i was working on a term paper, i needed a book on businesslaw and found a copy in the law school library. however, the librarian coldlyrejected my request to borrow it, saying, “you can’t borrow this book, you’renot a student here.” in the end, i had to end 200 yuan to buy a copy. meanwhile,the copy in the law school gathered dust on the shelf.
at the beginning of this semester, i heard that my university had startedto think of unifying its libraries and linking them to libraries at otheruniversities, so my experience wouldn’t be repeated. barriers would be replacedby bridges. an inter-library loan system would give us access to books from anylibrary. with globalization and china integrated into the world, i believe manyof these intangible walls will be knocked down.
i know that globalization is a controversial issue, and it is hard to saywhether it is good or bad. but one thing is for sure: it draws our attention tochina’s tangible and intangible walls and forces us to examine their role in themodern world.
and how about the ancient walls of mine and other cities? should we tearthem down? definitely not. my city, like beijing and other cities, is actuallymaking a great effort to preserve the walls. these walls attract historians,archaeologists, and many schoolchildren who are trying to study our history andcultural heritage. walls have become bridges to our past and to the rest of theworld. if the ancient builders of these walls were still alive today, they wouldbe proud to see such great changes in the role of their walls. they are nowbridges that link east and west, south and north, and all countries of theworld. our cultural heritage will survive globalization.
Man’s life is a process of growing up, actually I’m standing here is agrowth. If a person’s life must constituted by various choices, then I grow upalong with these choices. Once I hope I can study in a college in future,however that’s passed, as you know I come here, now I wonder what the futureholds for (= what will happen to) me.
When I come to this school, I told to myself: this my near future, allstarts here. Following I will learn to become a man, a integrated man, who has afine body, can take on important task, has independent thought, an open mind,intensive thought, has the ability to judge right and wrong, has a perfectjob.
Once my teacher said :” you are not sewing, you are stylist; never forgetwhich you should lay out to people is your thought, not craft.” I will put mypersonality with my interest and ability into my study, during these process Iwill combine learning with doing. If I can achieve this “future”, I think that Ireally grow up. And I deeply believe kindred, good-fellowship and love willperfection and happy in the future.
How to say future? Maybe it’s a nice wish. Lets make up our minds, stick toit and surely well enjoy our life.
today i am very glad to be here to share with you my ideas of success. whatis success? it is what everyone is longing for.sometimes success would be rathersimple. 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 eech issomehow also success.
however, as a person’s whole life is concerned, success becomes very
complicated. is fortune success? is fame success? is high social statussuccess? no, i don’t think so. i believe success is the realization of people’shopes and ideals.nowadays, in the modern society there are many people who areregarded as the successful. and the most obvious characteristics of hem aremoney, high position and luxurious life. so most people believe that s successand all that they do is for this purpose. but the problem is wether it is realsuccess. we all know there are always more money, higher position and bettercondition in front of us. if we keep chasing them, where is the end? what willsatisfy us at last? therefore, we can see, to get the real success we must needsomething inside, which is the realization of people’ hopes and ideals.
different people have different ideas about success; cause people’s hopesand ideas vary from one another. but i am sure every success is dear toeverybody, cause it is not easy to come by, cause in the process of our strivingfor success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightenedby the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and senseof reonsibility. these are the best treasures. so now i am very proud that ihave this opportunity to stand here eaking 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 sureevery success leads to an ever-brighter future. so ladies and gentlemen, believein our hopes, believe in ourselves, we, every one of us, can make a successfullife!
wish you all good success.
Ladies and Gentlemen：
Good afternoon! I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech.today my topic is “youth”. I hope you will like it , and found the importance inyour youth so that more cherish it. Do you know what is youth? How do you masteryour youth?
Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is thefreshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of theappetite , for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60more than a boy of 20 . Nobody grows old merely by a number of years . We growold by deserting our ideals.
Years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul .Worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure ofwonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the gameof living . In the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and powerfrom men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
When the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows ofcynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but aslong as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you maydie young at 80.
Thank you!
No young man believes he shall ever die. There is a feeling of Eternity inyouth, which makes us amend for everying.To be young to be as one of theImmortal Gods. One half of time indeed is flown-the other half remains in storefor as with all its countless treasures; for there is no line drawn, and we seeno limit to our hopes and wishes. We make the coming age our own-
The vast, the unbounded prospect lies before us, including our dreams.
So I'll say:Concentrate upon your dreams and they will become materialactualities. Through concentration we work out our dreams in physical life. Yourfuture depends upon the dreams you are forming now. Your past dreams aredetermining your present. Therefore, if you want a bright future, you must beginto prepare for it today.
We say a man is as changeable as the weather. What is meant is his dreamschange. Every time you change your idea you think differently. You become like arudderless boat on an ocean. Therefore realize the importance of holding to yourdream until it becomes a reality .
Catch the star that holds your destiny, the one that forever twinkleswithin your heart. Take advantage of precious opporyunities while they stillsparkle before you. Always believe that your ultimate goal is attainable as longas you commit yourself to it.
Though barriers may sometimes stand in the way of your dreams, rememberthat your destiny is hiding behind them. Accept the fect that not everyone isgoimg to approve of the choices you've made, have faith in your judgement, catchthe star that twinkles in your heart, and it will lead you to your destiny'spath. Follow that pathway and uncover the sweet sunrises that await you.
Take pride in your accomplishments, as they are stepping stones to yourdreams. Understand that you may make mistakes, but don't let them discourageyou. Value your capabilities and talents for they are what make you trulyunique. The greatest gifts in life are not purchased, but acquired through hardwork and determination. Finding the star that twinkles in your heart for youalone are capable of making your brightest dreams come true.
So don't think that you are neglected, or not understood, or notappreciated. zsuch thoughts are the thoughts of failure.
Don't pity yourself, criticise yourself. You know that the only thing inthe world that you have got to count upon is yourself.
