Success is made up of one percent talent and ninety-nine percent effort.
The process of climbing is hard, but the scenery of the top is different than it in the bottom of the hill.in order to see the scenery of the top, we must overcome all difficulties bravely .something easy to say , but difficult to do. The peak looks so far away from our, the leg is so painful, and others say that, forget it, you can't climb up, quickly stop and rest.
So, the higher of the mountain, the fewer people. But, could we give up the scenery of the peak? although Success is far away, but there it is, it hands to us ,and encourage us to persist a while, the most beautiful scenery will belong to us. So, no matter how tired, no matter how hard, we still adhere to the teeth, until success. Like Chris Gardner, in order to survive, to his son, he works very hard, although so tired that even want to give up, but he knew, giving up is a thorough failure, means coming back to the origin, losting hope at the same time. You got a dream, you gonna protect it. When we at the most hard time, hold on for a moment, will be the most beautiful scenery.
Successful people will never give up after the storm, rather than born with the ability to got anything.thanks!
i wanna welcome everybody here in this cheer team. thank you for coming here this morning to stand on my side cheering me on. it’s my dream to have the opportunity to challenge all the foreign athletes to the championship at this great occasion: 20xx olympic games. now, the dream came true. as an athlete of china, i’m here to win the gold medal of orienteering for our motherland.
i’m so proud of being one of the best players in the world. but could you believe i had been a lazy girl when i was in junior high. i’m not kidding! at that time, running was my last favorite. i really don’t know how to describe the first time i was on the track. it was horrible. when i started to run, i was simply out of breath. and while i touched the finishing line, i really didn’t know if i was still alive. it’s so funny, huh? but it’s true, i did.
well, something happened and changed the situation. we won the right of holding the olympic games in 20xx. after that, sports became a kind of game in campus. and there are many sports clubs in school. one day someone asked me:“are you gonna try one of those?”first i felt so wired.
“try to get into sports clubs? are you kidding?” i said. and she goes: “why not it’s not hard at all, and so fascinating!” so i did tried one and i was so lucky to become one of those who did orienteering. that is a fantastic sport! you need to run and find where to go just by using a map and a compass. it’s wasn’t popular in china at first. but when we heard it might become a new event in 20xx, we did practiced hard, and aimed to win the first champion of orienteering in the world. when we practiced, there were a lot of troubles. you know, sometimes you need to go with your feet, but sometimes you need to go with your heart. in some situations, we faced the difficulties and problems. and we need to solve that through teamwork and strong willpower. so we can run faster, go higher and be stronger. that is what we say—olympic spirit.
now the dream came true. i’m standing here with all my body and my heart put in sports. so do the people from all over the world to here at the olympic games. it’s the olympic games that make us together. we are here for a big day of sport; we are here for a dream of sports. we are here for a spirit of sport that encourages us to face the difficulties of today and tomorrow.
My mother is an ordinary teacher. She always puts her students beforeeverything. She is nothing different from other people at the first sight. Butlater you will find that she is so responsible. In my mind, she is very great.On weekends, she always prepare the class at home. Sometimes she even ask thestudents to come to our house for remediation for free. All her students likeher. Sometimes I almost envy her students. Luckily, my mother also very careabout me. she puts all her time on our family and her students, leaving nothingfor herself. She is so great, and I proud of her; and I love her.
我的妈妈是一个普通的老师。她总是把她的学生放在最重要的位置。乍一看，她和别的人没有什么不一样的。但后来你会发现她是如此有责任心。在我的心目中，她是很伟大的。周末的时候她总是在家里备课。有时候她甚至叫学生到我们家来免费补课。她的学生都很喜欢她。有时候我都差点要嫉妒她的学生了。幸好我慢慢还是很关心我的。她把她所有的时间都花在我们家和她的学生身上，却不给自己留一丁点时间。她是如此的伟大，我为她感到骄傲;我爱她。
Never Lose the Vision of Reality
Good afternoon, Ladies and gentlemen,
My topic today is Never Lose the Vision of Reality. Talking about dreams and future, I would say, dreams should never be too far away from reality. Detaching from reality, lacking solid or practical actions, any future plan or dream project will be nothing short of daydreaming, or, at most well-intentioned thinking. Here I am reminded the year of 20xx, when 191 member states of the United Nations held a World Summit Conference, which made a declaration known as the Millennium Development Goals. The goals of 20xx, which every member state pledged to meet, were such as, elimination of hunger and poverty, drastic reduction in child mortality rates, reversing a spread of AIDS and other deadly diseases, etc. Now, six years later, almost half way to the final year of 20xx, do we see any signs of realizing these goalsToday, half the world- about three billion people, still live under two U.S. dollars a day; about 270 million children have no access to safe water, 11 million children die before they reach the age of five each year. Do we come to harness the spread of the AIDSThe answer is also “no”- and indeed AIDS is spreading faster and wider than ever before. What is even worse, with the wake of the Iraqi War, the nuclear crisis in Iran and unsettled situations in many places, the visions of us young people today are often limited- but the limited vision (that) we do have and care about every day
cannot change the conviction that this world does not seem to promise a very bright future before us. Who is to blame for all thisOf course, we can blame the government: how they… disappointing they all seem to be: in one moment they are pledging to build a better future for us, and the other moment they’re igniting wars, killing more innocent people. But don’t you think we ordinary folks should also take some responsibilities for, say, elimination of hunger and povertyWhen we are quickly rushing to schools, works, or places of entertainment, how many times do we stop just to hand over some food to the deprived on the streetsWhen we are reading newspaper, browsing for news about what is going on in this world, how often do we stop to think about actual ways that we can do to help the people who’re suffering from various disastrous situationsIn fact, how much have we done to help the people who are in need just around usDreams are certainly beautiful and indispensable in our life, for they give us inspiration and motivation. Future plans are certainly necessary, for they provide us with goals and guides. But what is most beautiful and important is an action on a day-to-day basis. In order to realize our dreams or make our future goals realized, we need to put our words into deeds and base our vision on reality. In other words, while human beings should be, first and foremost, idealists and thinkers, we should also be, and all the more, realists and practical doers.
Thank you.
Good evening, everyone. My name is WangHaili. I am an outgoing girl who likes reading and traveling. It’s really my great honor to stand here and give everyone a short speech.
People say, youth is fire which is ignited by passion. People say, youth is a chapter of the poem which is written by stories. The color of youth is bright and we make most use of our ardor to draw the scenes to the canvas of painting. But we may be confused and lose our direction in the youth time. Under this, youth slips away. Roman Roland says, life doesn’t issue return ticket and can never come back once sets out. So we should seize the short youth time and try our best to pursue our ideal. Do what should we do and let our youth without regret.
When we refer to ideal, we will realize the importance of ideal. Ideal is the beacon,. Without ideal, we will lose the firm direction. Without direction, we will lose our life. According to this, every one of us should establish our own ideal .so that we have the direction of straggle to the future. Tolstoy tells us, we should have the life objective from the whole life to the second. So we should cherish every moment and form our systematic objective. Youth is the prime time. We have strong body and energy and can sense the meaning of life under the guide of ideal.
I encourage you to look up the scene on YouTube – but not right now – because it’s still a very funny piece. And it’s funny because it’s ridiculous, but also because it contains a kernel of truth. And the truth applies not only to college presidents, but to all of us. How many times have we decided we’re against an idea before we’ve even heard it? How guilty are we of deciding “I’m against it” without even knowing what “it” is?
Many times, we know what we’re against based on who is saying it. If an idea comes from a certain public figure, politician, or media outlet, we already know how we feel. Partly this is because our public discourse has become so predictable. We’ve lost the capacity for surprise, for revelation. Speaking of predictable, here is the moment where an ambassador of an older generation – that would be me – tells millennials – most of you – about the evils of social media! But hear me out…
Obviously, social media has transformed our lives and our relationships. It obviously has many advantages, allowing us to share news and information quickly with people around the world. But it also heightens our sense of outrage and speeds up arguments, depriving us of the time and space for careful reflection. Bombarded with notifications, pressured to respond before the media cycle turns over, we tap out our position – our opposition – in seconds. It’s easy to be against something in fewer than 280 characters. It’s far more difficult to articulate what you are for – and to do it at warp speed.
there will be a speech on our school playground this saturday afternoon, whose theme is “to civilize schoolyard is my responsibility”. all the teachers and students are required to attend. in the activity, the first two winners in each grade will give such valuable advice as follows: we should not litter anywhere in order to keep our campus clean; we should love flowers, graand trees so that everyone can enjoy the greenness; we should behave well instead of running after one another, quarreling and fighting noisily; we should care for others so that our school will be full of love. we believe our school will become more and more beautiful and peaceful。
my honor versus dishonor view, my position
the male eagle brushes past the sky, row a beautiful of curve lie in it to sought to allow the position for a wings of oneself;the fierce tiger whistles the forest of , leaving a bright scenery, lying in it to sought to allow the position for the oneself's strong and healthy body, the person wants to achieve success, must examine the oneself to seek precise own position.
the ages is in the progress, the history enters ahead, the exaltation of the living level along with the people, the exactitude sets up own honor versus dishonor view is an exaltation that is teenager's character of 21 centuries, the body of the life value now.
the ancients once says:" the people has no the letter not to sign, the letter have no the does not become" ancients is still such, besides now person!is the traditional virtue of our chinese nation with" the honesty keeps promise for the glory", 《 kid and wolf 》 of story is widely known is to lose the trust because the kid cheats to take the other people's trust to him for many times, being the end wolf to really come to other people to his many beguilements.end, the kid let wolf give eat.although does this is a story its difficult ways and can't explain the certain truth?since the childhood mother educates the child who i want to be a" honesty".what does" honesty" include?small go to not bogus, big go to not cheat the nation, don't endanger the human life.what is the meaning of the " honesty" exactly?i feel" the honesty keep promise since is a kind of morals quality and the morals convictions, is also the morals responsibility of each citizen is also a kind of lofty personality power".therefore, we want to be the person whom a real honesty keep promise to carry out our dream, setting up our home totally.

another relationship in college is friendship. my roommates have lived two years with me. in these years, they forgive my faults, cry with me, laugh with me, play with me… they always stand with me and support me, i have learned a lot from them. i love them all and treasure the friendship with them.
in the next 2 years,i’ll try my best to and make great contributions to society! that’s my college life. i cherish all i have experienced in college. i love you, my college!
that’s all, thank you!
as we know, you have to learn how to fly much more independently instead of under your parents’ considerate protection when you get into college, which also means you will come across enormous questions that should be solved by yourself. from my point of view, those main problems can fall into three parts.
first of all, the complicated relationship. for one thing, you have to know how cultural differences function in your relationship and respect them. in addition, college students spend less time studying together owing to different courses’ choosing, which requires us to devote more energy to building relationship. for the other thing, it is also vital to communicate with your parents often by using mobile phones or other tools.
As everyone knows,English is very important today.It has been used everywhere in the world.It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade. If we can speak English well,we will have more chance to succeed.Because more and more people have taken notice of it,the number of the people who go to learn English has increased at a high speed.
But for myself,I learn English not only because of its importance and its usefulness,but also because of my love for it.When I learn English, I can feel a different way of thinking which gives me more room to touch the world.When I read English novels,I can feel the pleasure from the book which is different from reading the translation.When I speak English, I can feel the confident from my words.When I write English,I can see the beauty which is not the same as our Chinese...
I love English,it gives me a colorful dream.I hope I can travel around the world one day. With my good English, I can make friends with many people from different contries.I can see many places of GREat interests.I dream that I can go to London,because it is the birth place of English.
The day before yesterday,someone gave me a phone call.he said“che ,i am your leader,come to my office room right now”so i felt anxious and said”who are you?and what did i do?”.he just said”i am just your leader”.i realized he is a cheater.so i said”i will call the police”he hung up immediately.so i felt scared.and i have a question:who leak my information? Ten years ago,i have never thought our personal information is important.but now if your phone number is leaked,you will be drowned in a sea of junk short message.the ID card number is one of your most important personal information.because your bank card, driving license, student card and personal resume are both binding to your ID card number.so if your ID card number leaked, that completely is a disaster. How did my information leak? In some film, a hacker use a computer attack a website and get many information.that is true.many computer virus can do this.and today is the age of big data, a good hacker can get your password from your other information.for example,a hacker build a false website, and you register for an account.the hacker would get your password and your email address. Sometimes the password is your bank account password.He just need to send you a e-mail with computer virus.your bank account and password will be leaked. So what should we do to protect our information security? First of all we shouldn’t tell others our personal information.most of the information leakage event is from our carelessness.besides,we shouldn’t register for an account easily.and i still hold a belief on don’t using number is the best way to protect information security
前天,有人给了我一个电话。他说:“切,我是你的领袖,现在到我的办公室来房间”所以我感到焦虑,说:“你是谁?和我做了什么呢?”。他只是说“我只是你的领袖”。我意识到他是一个骗子。所以我说“我会叫警察”他立即挂了电话。所以我觉得害怕。我有一个问题:谁泄露我的信息?十年前,我没想到我们的个人信息很重要。但是现在如果泄露你的电话号码,你就会(被)淹死的垃圾短信。身份证号码是你最重要的个人信息。因为你的银行卡,驾驶证、学生证和个人简历都绑定到您的身份证号码。如果你的身份证号码泄露,那完全是一场灾难。我的信息泄漏吗?在一些电影中,黑客用电脑攻击网站,获得许多信息。这是正确的。许多计算机病毒可以做到这一点。今天是大数据的时代,一个好的黑客从你的其他信息可以得到你的密码。例如,黑客建立一个虚假网站,你注册一个账户。黑客会得到你的密码和电子邮件地址。有时,密码是你的银行账户密码。他只需要送你一个电子邮件的计算机病毒。你的银行账户和密码泄露。那么我们应该做些什么来保护我们的信息安全?首先我们不应该告诉别人我们的个人信息。大部分的信息泄漏事件是我们的粗心大意。此外,我们不应该轻易注册一个帐户。我仍然持有的信念不使用号码是保护信息安全的最好办法。
Now it is common that students copy homework from their classmates. I think it is a terrible thing . Because homework is their own task and the check for what they learn in class. If they copy others' homework , the teachers won't get the fact so they can't help the students to improve. Besides ,if the students can't finish their homework, they can't get the chance to go over their lessons so they can't make progress. So don't copy others' homework.
"Opportunities" and "challenge" is the objective of our work environment and condition, "responsibility" is a subjective position and attitude of our work. Modernization development in level and stage of today, today, the precondition of human activity, often also is the consequences of human activity, yesterday and today the consequences of human activity, will become tomorrow the premise of human activity. From this Angle as you can see, how to treat their shoulders the responsibility of our generation, largely determines our offspring have no opportunities available, also the challenge of whether afford came down on them. City of the ninth party congress explicitly proposed "must pay more attention to improve the quality of development, pay more attention to optimize the development way, pay more attention to the development of rich connotation, pay more attention to enhance development power", I think so because of "opportunities" and "challenge" and "responsibilities" such a deep understanding of the relationship.
On the one hand, in a rare opportunity and severe challenge under the background of the glorious mission for colleagues to know themselves and major responsibility, on the other hand to put the glorious mission and responsibility itself as a special challenges and special opportunities.
It is undeniable that the worsening environment has bee the biggest concernof the present-day world。Land resources are dwindling because of water loss andsoil erosion。Waste gases poison the air we breathe。The rivers and lakes arepolluted by waste dumped in them from factories。It is probably no exaggerationto say that deterioration of the quality of the environment threatens theexistence of mankind itself。
Some people are of the opinion that the environmental problem is the pricewe have to pay for economic development。But I do not think that this argument isvalid。After all， what is the point of economic growth if people’s lives areadversely alfected by worsening environmental pollution?
There is plenty of evidence to show that sustainable development can beachieved by balancing economic growth with protection of the environment。The keyto achieving this is to make people aware of the seriousness of the problem。Bothgovernments and ordinary citizens should join hands to make this world a betterplace to live in， not only for ourselves， but also for future generations。
不可否认的是环境恶化已成为当今世界上人们最担心的事了。因为水资源的浪费和土壤被侵蚀，土地资源逐渐缩小。我们呼吸着有毒的空气，河流和湖泊也被附近的工厂里排放出来的废弃物严重污染了。不夸大其词地说，环境质量的恶化很可能威胁人类的生存。
有些人说环境问题是我们为经济发展所付出的代价。对此，我不敢苟同。如果人类的生活被日益恶化的环境污染所影响的话，那么，经济发展的好处何在?
足够的证据证明：经济发展与环境保护的平衡能够实现可持续发展。关键是使人们意识到问题的严重性。政府和普通市民两方都就应携手使地球成为更适合人类居住的地方，这不仅仅是为我们自我，也是为我们的后代。
Good afternoon honorable judges and beloved friends. My topic today is "Embracing the World, Embracing sports".
Since MaLong and Zhangjike’s breathtaking triumph over all the opponents in Rio, no matter in competition or in real life, their loving little interactions, has already captured the heart of thousands of girls from home and abroad. Are you still obsessed with a bunch of pop stars in entertainment industry ?SinceFuyuanhui told CCTV reporter. "Ive been utilizing prehistorical powers." Are you still believe in the traditional sports concept that "winner-takes-all" or "victory only belongs to the winners"? When Sunyang didn’t won the champion of 1500-meter freestyle swimming match, but stick to the last minutes enduring the pain of physical sickness, are you still accusing him of not winning honor for our country? Of course, no!
Because of the nationwide sports system in our country, we always attach great importance to the glory of the most high-necked award platform, requiring athletes to win the game. I still remember that in 20__, Liu Xiang dropped out because of the serious injury in his Achilless tendon, but he grit his teeth and stick to the end, bearing all the pain and pressure we may never know. However, someone mock him that he is no longer the Asian flier anymore, some even said that his injury was just put on a show, suddenly he turned from a national hero into a loser, just because he upset the whole country of not winning one game.
From "medal only" to enjoy the charm and joy of the competitive sports, from requiring athletes to win the game to sincerely admire the noble-character and charming personality of them. This maybe one small step for 20__ Rio Olympic, but one giant leap for the Chinese national sport spirit. Who can say this is not the mistery of sport? who can say this is not the power of sport? And who can say this is not the charm of sport?
So, ladies and gentlemen,lets embrace the world with the charm of sports!
What is a great book? There is no end to the making of books. Nor doesthere seem to be any end to the making lists of great books. There has always bemore books than one could read. You can be happy at the fact that the number ofthat is relatively small.
However,today,people usually leave it in the library. According to thenational reading survey issued by The China Academy of Press and Publication, in20__, only 55% Chinese aged between18 and 70 book read books .That is to say,there are more than forty percent of the people seldom read in China.
It is a great challenge to literature. As a educated student,have youinsist on reading great books. In order to change the situation ,we must takeactions to read great books.
In Adler’s essay of What is A Great Book, he explain why we should readgreat books. I conclude it as follows.
First,great books are the most readable. They will not let you down ,if youread them well. The have more ideas per page than most books in the theirentirety. This is why you can read a great book over and over again and neverexhaust it contents.
Second ,great books are always contemporary,in contrast to the books wecalled contemporary,because they are currently popular ,last for a year ortow,or ten at most. You may probably can not recall the names of many earlierbest sellers,and you may probably would not be interest in reading them. But thegreat are never out modeled by the movement of thought or the shifting winds ofopinion .
Third ,great books are the most instructive. This follows the fact thatthey are original communications. They contain what cannot be found in otherbooks. Whether you ultimately agree or disagree what they say. They are theprimary teachers of mankind. They have made basic contribution to human right.
Just giving you the reason is not enough, I will give you some methods torealize you reading dream.
Firstly,you can begin with a interesting novel. You will be attracted bythe figures,the plots .Than ,after reading a lot of books ,you may be get into ahabit of reading. So,you can contact with some complex books,such as philosophy,arts and so on. You will be shocked at the new world.
There are countless great books in our library,you must make greatadvantage of it. Of course ,it is a better choice to buy great books. Collectingbooks is a enjoyable thing,at least for me. So,reading great books. The newworld is coming.
future?
How to say future?Man’s life is a process of growing up, actually I’m standing here is a growth.
If a person’s life must constituted by various choices, then I grow up along 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 future holds for (= what will happen to) me.
When I come to this school, I told to myself: this my near future, all starts here.
Following I will learn to become a man, a integrated man, who has a fine body, can take on important task, has independent thought, an open mind, intensive thought, has the ability to judge right and wrong, has a perfect job. Once my teacher said :” you are not sewing, you are stylist; never forget which you should lay out to people is your thought, not craft.”
good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
five score years ago, a great american, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the emancipation proclamation. this momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. it came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity.
but one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the negro is still not free. one hundred years later, the life of the negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. one hundred years later, the negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. one hundred years later, the negro is still languishing in the corners of american society and finds himself an exile in his own land. so we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition.
in a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. when the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the declaration of independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every american was to fall heir. this note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
it is obvious today that america has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. instead of honoring this sacred obligation, america has given the negro people a bad check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." but we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. we refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.
so we have come to cash this check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
we have also come to this hallowed spot to remind america of the fierce urgency of now. this is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of god's children. now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.
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 enrico. the diary is about his life and study. it included various touching stories that happened around enrico, 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? what is your favorite book?
my favorite book is . have you read it before?
The weather in winter is a set of all the phenomena in a given atmosphereat a given time. It also includes interactions with the hydrosphere. The termusually refers to the activity of these phenomena over short periods (hours ordays), as opposed to the term climate, which refers to the average atmosphericconditions over longer periods of time. When used without qualification,weather" is understood to be the weather of Earth.
Winter is cold. Let’s play the snowball and make snowman. The snowman isbig . I like to play snowball. I am on the snow. The snow is cold. I have ascarf and coat. So I am not cold. I like the Christmas. Because I can see santaclus in Christmas . Christmas tree is beautiful. The presents are on theChristmas tree. I like winter. Do you like winter?
Just make to it the finals, they had to get past 60 others speaking on “The impact of globalization on traditional Chinese values”。 That was at the semi-final on April 8-9. What will Chinese college students think about the impact? Each contestant had his own take on the subject. Xia summed up globalization by saying: “It’s just controversial and hard to say whether it is good or bad.” Xia took the old wall of his city, Nanjing, as a metaphor. He spoke about the conflict over whether to protect the old walls or tear them down to represent the conflict of ideas. He suggested that people protect the wall as a valuable relic while tearing down the “intangible walls” of their minds that prevent communication. While some other students are more focusing on the impact of globalization on family relations, attitudes towards love, and job-hunting.
Over the past 10 years, the national English speaking competition has given contestants a chance to speak on a variety of topics closely related to their lives. Chinese students become more open-minded and receive various ideas and thinking over the decade. Diversity becomes more obvious on campus, students have more opportunities to express and show themselves. It’s not an easy task for the contestants to win through the fierce competition. Owning to their passion, hard work and persistence, they finally succeeded in the contest.
Liu Xin, the first champion of the national contest, is now an anchorperson of CCTV-9. Recalling the passion of study on campus, she said: “When you want to express your idea by a foreign language without finding a right way, you’re really upset. Then you have to encourage yourself, and after a long term of bitterness, suddenly you find you get the right way with joy.” With the champion title in 21st Century Cup, Liu attended the International Public Speaking competition in London in May 1996 afterward and got the first prize historically.
The winner in 20xx surprised the audience, since she came from accounting major instead of English major. Gu Qiubei, then 22 years old, was a senior in Shanghai Foreign Studies University. While being asked whether she had some good methods to learn English, she said: “Learn English with passion and enthusiasm.” Attracted by the greatness of English language, Gu even changed her major from accounting to English in her postgraduate study. The most important issue in English learning process she pointed out is personal interests. Only people interested in English benefit a lot from the learning methods and those with passion will finally achieve their dreams.
When chief of global media giant Viacom Sumner Redstone gave a speech in Tsinghua University on his autobiography A Passion to Win, he was asked what made him to restart his career at the age of 60, the 81-year-old media tycoon said: “Firstly, there’s a self-driving force in my deep heart, which keeps my passion to succeed and surpass others; secondly, I don’t think I’m too old to leave work, actually I love my work very much.”
Some of the contestants have achieved their dreams as Redstone; still others are on the way to their dream. With a passion to win, you will overcome obstacles and succeed at the end.
I’m studying in a city that’s famous for its walls. People who visit my city are amazed at the imposing sight of its walls, especially when silhouetted against the setting sun with gold, shining streaks. The old, cracked bricks are covered with lichens and the walls are weather-beaten guards standing still for centuries.
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 snakes across half our country. They built walls to protect against enemies and evil spirits. This tradition has survived to this day: we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public.
For a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world to me.
My perceptions, however, changed after I made a hiking trip to the eastern suburbs 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, which formed 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 heated debate. At one point, he likened our walled cities to “jails”， while I insisted that the eastern suburbs were one of the many places in China that had no walls.
That debate had no winners, but I did learn a lot from this student. For instance, he told me that some major universities like Oxford and Cambridge were not 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 whether they are physical or intangible. We will keep some walls but tear down those that impede our development.
Let me give another example.
A year ago, when I was working on a term paper, I needed a book on business law and found a copy in the law school library. However, the librarian coldly rejected my request to borrow it, saying, “You can’t borrow this book, you’re not a student here.” In the end, I had to spend 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 started to think of unifying its libraries and linking them to libraries at other universities, so my experience wouldn’t be repeated. Barriers would be replaced by bridges. An inter-library loan system would give us access to books from any library. With globalization and China integrated into the world, I believe many of these intangible walls will be knocked down.
I know that globalization is a controversial issue, and it is hard to say whether it is good or bad. But one thing is for sure: it draws our attention to China’s tangible and intangible walls and forces us to examine their role in the modern world.
And how about the ancient walls of mine and other cities? Should we tear them down? Definitely not. My city, like Beijing and other cities, is actually making a great effort to preserve the walls. These walls attract historians, archaeologists, and many schoolchildren who are trying to study our history and cultural heritage. Walls have become bridges to our past and to the rest of the world. If the ancient builders of these walls were still alive today, they would be proud to see such great changes in the role of their walls. They are now bridges that link East and West, South and North, and all countries of the world. Our cultural heritage will survive globalization.
I don't think so. printed books won't be abandoned in such a short time. I admit that new technology is developing fast.
Many advanced electronic products are gradually take the place of traditional tools. Just like in university, teachers like to use multimedia in class for it is quite convenient and efficient. However, for our student, it is not realistic to study completely by electronic products.
There are many things need to recorded on books. Books are something meaningful and practical. I should say, in our country, printed books wouldn't be abandoned within 20 years at least for two reasons.
Firstly, books are classical container of knowledge. They accompany human to advance. A student without books could be someway ridiculous.
Secondly, our country haven't developed so strong to make every student study by computer or other forms of electronic tools. And even after 20 years, the possibility is also very small.
I also think it is unnecessary because books are cheap but useful and still meaningful.
In China, almost every family has TV set in their house. Television has made great contribution to people’s daily lives and children’s education. Some people even think that television is one of the greatest inventions in the world.
But there is a good side and a bad side to everything and that includes the television.
On one hand, TV is a powerful educational tool that through it people know what is happening in the rest of the world. Because of television, people begin to understand different cultures and current affairs.
They know about the things they never knew before, they create their own opinions and form their sense of worth. The TV opens a brand-new door for them to explore the things they want to know. Many people may go traveling due to watch the beautiful scenes in TV.
On the other hand, some people may find them addicted to television, especially the young people.
They spend most of their free time watching TV programs instead of playing outside with their peers.
In this case, the children may lack of the ability of communicate effectively with others.
TV makes them isolated. What’ more, sometimes the TV programs may contain se-xual scenes or bloody scenes that not suitable for children to watch.
This will cause negative effects on them.
To sum up, I think television has both advantages and disadvantages, people should find a balance between it. Make the most use of it, don’t be the salves of it.
the world we live in is becoming more and more intolerable because of environmental destruction. for example , forest destruction results in decrease of planting land and unpleasant weather. in addition, man is faced with problems of water pollution and air pollution.
a lot of measures have been taken. planting trees helps improve and beautify the environment. besides, laws concerning environmental protection have been put into effect and achieved good results.
however, the problem of environmental protection remains far from being solved. on the one hand, the environment pollution and destruction are getting worse and worse in the modern world. on the other hand, the lack of knowledge about the importance of protecting environment hinders the solving of the problem. in a word, there is a long way to go before we enjoy a clean and comfortable world.

He wears many disguises and like a virus will leave you blinded, divided and turn you into a kinda is lethal. You know what kinda is? There is a lot of kinda people, you kinda want a career change, you kinda want to get straight As, you kinda want to get in shape. Simple math, no numbers to crunch. If you kinda want something, then you will kinda get the results you want.
Teachers and students:
Good morning, my topic today: " let the flowers of civility bloom everywhere on our campus".
First of all, let's look at a few happy phenomenon in the campus:
In the morning, always see students carrying bags into the campus, take the time to carefully read early. There are many students on duty, under the guidance of the teacher, cleaning the class health; Or pick up fallen leaves and scraps of paper in the green lump-sum area. Class three ( 6 ) and class three ( 7 ) some students, carefully wipe the window every day, the window of their class is always the brightest.
At noon, the students lined up neatly, some go to the dining room, some go home or by parents to send rice. Dining room students finished after finishing tableware, turn over the stool, and then out of the dining room, never take out of the dining room didn't eat chicken legs and other food; And go home to eat or send rice to school students, also in accordance with the requirements of the school, took the food in the classroom for dinner, after eating the tableware to bring home to parents.
In the evening after school, the students under the guidance of the teacher, lined up, with the harvest of a day's study, by the parents to pick up home.
In fact, good behavior habits, is the premise of our smooth learning, is also the basis of establishing a healthy personality. Liang Qichao, a famous scholar, once said that juvenile wisdom is national wisdom, juvenile strong is strong. We are the flowers of the motherland, we are the future of the motherland. If we develop civilized behavior habits, learning environment must be good, orderly.
Unfortunately, around us, there are always some discord - homophonic symbol. Below, let's go to capture:
Every noon, always see some children playing at the edge of the lotus pool, looking at the swimming pool goldfish, can't help but held out his hand to catch goldfish. You know, it's neither civilized nor safe. Willow branches at the edge of the pool pulled out a new bud, soft soft, looks really beautiful. But there are always some students like to climb. You know, you fold, then what people see? A few days ago, the school cherry blossoms opened, unexpectedly by a few third grade students in ornamental flowers and shook the tree, you know, you don't call it ornamental flowers, that call destruction.
Every Wednesday or Thursday, as long as the school to provide fruit, always can see everywhere throw leftover fruit, cement road in front of the first floor, lawn is particularly much. Aunt in charge of cleaning the school often told me about this matter, today in the teacher please those who throw students really can't eat can be thrown in the trash can, of course, it is best to take home to eat again. The main focus of our training in March is: don't run around between classes, take care of campus greening, peel scraps of paper consciously put into the dustbin. I just talked about those students, did you listen to the teacher in charge of education, do you do according to the teacher in charge?
Walk on the stairs of the second floor, the third floor, can always see one by one stainless steel tube was beaten. You know, that's stainless steel tube, didn't mean to damage public property, the steel tube will be flat like that? I don't know do some classmates, you see be beaten steel tube will not embarrassed.
Many of our classmates put the study of cultural knowledge in the first place, and often ignored the cultivation of social morality, civilized habits, and this should not be our primary school students in the 21st century. Here, I suggest that we should first be a decent person, a good student of civilization and courtesy. Remember a celebrity once said: the realization of virtue is made up of behavior, not by words, also should not stay in oral. Numerous examples show that the key to a brilliant career and a successful life is noble sentiment. On behalf of the future of our nation, we need to learn and inherit a lot of things, but the most basic question is: what kind of spiritual style, what kind of ideological quality and what kind of moral standards to take over the baton of human civilization. Civilization habit is the foundation of our study and life, is the arm of our healthy growth. Without civilization, there is no basic moral bottom line. Thousands of learning to learn to do reality, said is to learn to learn to be a person, learn to do civilized people, learn to do social people. Clean environment, civilized campus, start from me, let the flower of civilized etiquette in our campus everywhere in bloom!
Last year, Mothers Day spending on brunches, jewelry, salon appointments, flowers and greeting cards topped $20 billion, according to the National Retail Federation. And no doubt retailers hope to meet that amount this year too. Brands like American Greetings and Kay Jewelers, a Mothers Day advertising regular, portray the holiday, and therefore motherhood, as an event for young women doted on by attentive husbands and young children[took out the video ref since that wasnt an example of mothers being doted on]. But for many, both the holiday and the reality are as much about being a mother as they are about having, and caring for, their own mothers. And mothers taking care of mothers need more than mimosas and manicures to cope with life in the sandwich generation.
what college education means to me.
the title of my speech is “what college education means to me”.now reflecting on the past two and half years of my college experience, i come to realize how much it has shaped me.
for me, college education is a marvelous ship-builder who designed me from kneel plates up.
with great vision, college education has equipped me, first with a powerful propeller----the sophisticated knowledge in certain field and wide exposure to other disciplines. by dedicating myself to the engineering courses in the day and immersing myself in the rich banquet of the world literature at night, i’ve amassed the driving force for the future and enriched my soul.
besides, college education has also provided me with a precise compass----the sense of social responsibility. how can i best serve the interest of the public while achieving my self-fulfillment? my one year’s experience as a part-time english teacher has testified: to be valuable to society as well as to find my place, i have to possess some actual strength and the ability to function well in the most challenging situation. amid the hectic schedule that balances club activities, sports, and academic courses, i feel the rhythm and beauty in the intensity of my high-pitched life, knowing that i ’m on the right way.
and more importantly, college education has set up not only single ships, but also fleets with common destinations. by interacting with friends of common beliefs, i’ve acquired skills of relating to other people.
now ,as a ship about to make my maiden voyage ,i’m still not in the position to tell what’s waiting ahead of me ,but with a powerful propeller, a precise compass and ardent companions of sailing in the sea of society, i’m ready to be a great sea-explorer.
thank you.
My fellow and my friends；
Once I read a piece of news report. It says， ＂A middle school student in a remote mountainous area was doing his revision at home one day. His brother， whose age excelled school age， was playing and drawing on the paper with his elder brother＇s pencil at his side. Suddenly the younger brother raised his head thoughtfully， his little eyes were winking， and said to his brother seriously， ＂When will it thirty-second， brother？＂ The elder brother looked at his innocent younger brother and said with a smile， ＂What are you going to do on that thirty-second？＂ ＂Papa promised me to send me to school，＂ said his younger brother. His brother， the middle school student looked at his lovely brother and his heart seemed to be stitched with needles. My God！ My parents were working day and night in order to be able to afford my schooling. They were exhausted. How could they afford my younger brother＇s schooling？ Oh， thirty-second ...
My dear friends， hearing this， didn＇t you feel sorry for them？ We share the same native land， the same blue sky under the sun. Why cannot they be given lesson at school， sitting in the bright and big classroom？ We are used to saying that education goes first before vitalizing the country. But now the country＇s fiscal solvency and material resources are not ample enough. What should we do？ It requires that we should be of one heart and exert our efforts for our motherland.
同胞们，朋友们：
我曾看过这样一则报道：＂某边远山区一个中学生，一天在家复习功课，一旁的已过入学年龄的小弟弟拿他的铅笔在纸上写着、涂着、画着，突然若有所思地仰起小脸，眨巴几下小眼睛，认真地问：＇哥哥，什么时候才到32号呀？＇这位中学生看看天真的小弟弟，笑着逗他：＇32号你要干啥？＇＇爸爸说，到32号才能送我去上学。＇中学生望着可爱的小弟弟，内心针扎般难受：天哪，父母为了供自己上学，整日操劳，身体都累垮了，哪还有能力再送弟弟上学？啊！32号......＂
朋友们，当你听了这个故事，你不感到痛心吗？同在一片故土上，同在一片蓝天下，为什么他们不能坐在宽敞明亮的教室里去读书？我们常说：国家要振兴，教育须先行。而我国的财力、物力都不宽裕，怎么办？这就需要全社会的人齐心协力为国家分忧，为国家出力！

Good morning.Ladies and gentlemen, it's my honor to be here today to give you this speech. My name is Coco. I'd like to talk about job satisfaction. I have divided my talk into three parts:firstly,the importance of job satisfaction; secondly,the factors of job satisfaction;finally,how to achieve job satisfaction.
Now, let's start with the first part: the importance of job satisfaction.
A job provides an individual with the necessary means to remain satisfied in almost every aspect of life such as leisure,health and social life.Several key factors are thought to be critical for an employee to achieve job satisfaction.
Let's turn to the second part: the factors of job satisfaction. A reasonable salary is of course the most important factor in job satisfaction.In many people's minds,an ideal job is first of all a well-paid one, which makes the employee feel that he is fairly rewarded for what he has done for the company.Another important element of job satisfaction is the nature of the job itself. Job satisfaction can never be achieved if the employee's education , skills and interests.Finally,job satisfaction is closely associated with being part of the decision-making process in the company as well as having opportunities for promotion.
Let's leave that there, now, let's come to the last part: how to achieve job satisfaction. for an individual employee,finding the right job and trying to stay positive might be the first step towards achieving job fulfillment and satisfaction.
I'll briefly summarize the main parts. Let me just run over the key points again. Firstly,the importance of job satisfaction;secondly,.the factors of job satisfaction;finally,how to achieve job satisfaction.
In conclusion, job satisfaction plays an important role in the company and individual.It is the key index to influence the company performance.So we should try our best to achieve it.
Ladies and Gentlemen , Good afternoon! I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is “Life”. I hope you will like it ,
Man’s life is a process of growing up, actually I’m standing here is a growth. If a person’s life must constituted by various choices, then I grow up along 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 future holds for (= what will happen to) me. When I come to this school, I told to myself: this my near future, all starts here. Following I will learn to become a man, a true man, who has a fine body, can take on important task, has independent thought, an open mind, intensive thought, has the ability to judge right and wrong, has a perfect job.
Once my teacher said :” You are not common, you are unique; never forget which you should lay out to people is your thought, not craft.” I will put my personality with my interest and ability into my study, during these process I will combine learning with doing. If I can achieve this “future”, I think that I really grow up. And I deeply believe kinsred, friendshipand love will perfection and happy in the future.
How to say future? Maybe its a nice wish. Lets make up our minds, stick to it and surely well enjoy our life.

人们的生活正在逐步的改善着。实际上，我站在这里就正在成长。如果一个人的生命必须面对许多各种各样的选择，那么，我会一边选择，一边成长。曾经我希望我能在将来在大学里学习，不管怎么样，我考过了，如你所见到的，我现在正站在这梦寐以求的大学里，可是现在，我更渴望知道我的未来会有什么等着我。
当我来到这所学校的时候，我告诉我自己。我的将来就从这里开始，接下来，我要学着去成为一个男人，一个真正的男人，并有一个健康的身体。能够胜任重任，能有独到的见解，能见识广泛，能思想深邃，能判断出对的和错的，能工作的非常出色。

你对你的将来怎么看呢？可能那会是一个很美好的愿望。让我们坚定我们的目标，为之努力，并真正的享受我们的生命.
Life doesn’t always give us the joy we want. We don’t always get our hopesand dreams, and we don’t always get our way1. But don’t give up hope, becauseyou can make a difference one situation and one person at a time.
生活并非总是如你所愿。希望有时会落空,梦想有时会破灭,我们不能一切都随心所欲。但别放弃希望,因为事物并非一成不变;不同时间,不同场合,你会呈现不同的面貌。
Look for the beauty around you, in nature, in others, in yourself, duanwenwand believe in the love of friends, family, and humankind2. You can find love ina smile or a helping hand, in a thoughtful gesture or a kind word. It is allaround, if you just look for it.
处处留心你身边的美丽:自然之美,他人之美,自我之美。请相信,美来自朋友、家庭乃至全人类的融融爱意。英语短文一个微笑,一双援助之手,一个关心的举止,一句友善的话语,无不传达着爱。如果你有心去寻找,爱无所不在。
Give love, foringiving it you will find the power in life along with joy,happiness, patience and understanding. Believe in the goodness4 of others andre-member that anger and depression can be countered by love and hope.
奉献爱心吧,从中你会发现生活的力量,感受生活带来的幸福快乐,学会忍耐和理解。相信人性本善。记住,爱心和希望能化解一切愤怒和沮丧。
Even when you feel as though there isn’t a lot you can do to changeunhappiness or problems, you can always do a little —and a little at a timeeventually makes a big difference.
哪怕生活中挥之不去的不快和困难将你重重包围,让你力不从心,你仍可以尽力而为。累积点滴努力,最终你将扭转乾坤。
Hope is always available to us. When we feel defeated, duanwenw we onlyneed to take a deep breath and say "Yes" and hope will reappear6.
希望一直就在我们身边。当我们遇到挫折时,请深呼一口气并对自己说:我可以做到!希望就会重现。
