In my hometown, I have many friends, they are all very cute, I like to playgames with them, I have a good time everyday.
One of the most interesting things about summer vacation is fishing. Onthis day, my father and I had nothing to do at home. So I proposed to gofishing, my father promised me. I excitedly look for a fishing net and a smallbucket of fish. We came to the river happily, the water was clear, the fish swamin the water, very lovely. When he got out of the river and went to the shallowwater, he got the net and landed on the shore. To get the fish to surf theInternet, we went up to the river and took small stones and put them into theriver. The little fish was frightened and wandered about, and accidentally goton the net. After a while, there were fish all over the Internet. I was sohappy. My father and I quickly put the net away, carefully taking the fish andputting it into a small bucket of water. The fish happily swam about in thebucket and was very happy. Then we caught a lot of fish, and it was late, and myfather and I went home happily.
This summer holiday, I am very happy and happy every day!
Most people die in aquatic accidents such as boating and swimming because of drowning.
Most drowning results from three major factors —inability to swimeffects of relatively cold waterand alcohol.Most drowning occurs ten feet or less from safetyand roughly sixty percent of the time another person is both witnessing and in a position to rescue the victim.Unfortunatelyrescuers are not aware of the classic signs of drowning.These signs are head backmouth openestablishing an airway and arms doing an involuntaryabove the waterbreast stroke.Drowning occurs rapidly and soundlesslyaveraging twenty seconds in small children and up to a minute in adults.
To the uninitiated a drowning persons surface struggle may appear to be playingclowning or splashing accompanied by lack of requests for help.Simply observing and reacting to the signs of drowning by basicshore-based reaching or throwing rescues may cancel a needless tragedy.

大多数人死于水生事故如划船和游泳因为溺水。
最不能游泳溺水的结果三个主要因素影响相对冷水和酒精。大多数溺水发生10英尺或更少的.安全和另一个人大约百分之六十的时间都见证和营救受害者的.位置。不幸的是救援人员没有意识到经典的溺水的迹象。这些迹象都回去嘴巴张大建立气道和武器做一种无意识的出水面蛙泳。溺水发生迅速而无声地平均20秒在小孩和成人一分钟。
对于门外汉一个溺水的人表面的斗争似乎是玩小丑或溅伴随着缺乏请求帮助。简单的观察和对基本溺水的迹象岸上达到或投掷救助可能取消不必要的悲剧。
dear classmates,
every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. my friends will listen to me when i want to speak, will wipe my eyes when i cry, will take care of me when i am sick, and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.
as students, we could share more time with our friends. the friendship in our young hearts is pure, fresh and simple. i often feel very lucky to have a lot of good friends. especially when i had justin as one of my best friends. justin was my english teacher from the usa. i met him in 1996 when i was a student who could only speak very little english. justin was a vivid young man with a bright smile on his face, and he always had his special way to make the class active and attractive. he taught us english by telling stories, playing games, singing songs, and even dancing. i could still remember very clearly that one afternoon when we fin-ished our class, we went to some other classes to sing songs for them, just like what people do in the states on christmas eve. it was so interesting and unforgettable. justin was an excellent teacher, because he taught us not only how to study english well, but also the way to find out the beauty of the world and the way to be angels to others' lives. i know there was friendship and pure love in our hearts. facing this valuable emotion neither nationality nor age was important, the real importance lay in faith, under-standing, and care. justin is the best friend i have ever had, and i know i will cherish those days of staying together with him as the best part of my memory.
“很久以前，有个国王，他的女儿貌美如花。老国王向所有来求婚的男士提出了三个任务作为挑战，而每一项任务都异常艰巨，几乎不可能完成。一天，来了一位年轻英俊的王子……”好了，下面的故事你们都知道了。三项任务在不同的版本中各不相同，但关键部分的情节都如出一辙:王子成功地过关，得到了公主的芳心。而故事的结局也都一样，最后一句都写道:“从此他们幸福地生活在一起。
为什么我们对如此美妙、如此不切实际,而我要说,如此缺乏想象力的东西这么乐此不疲呢?这样的故事又如何能够经历几代人的重复?我想，因为它是典型的成功的例子。故事的思想性很强，具有代表性。通过故事带给我们的启示，我们认识到了成功定义中的四个步骤;第一，目标的设定，有如故事里美丽的公主;第二，所遇到的困难和挑战，就像三大任务;第三，克服困难的过程，故事中青年经历重重难关可以作为象征;第四，就是成功的果实，如同幸福的婚姻。
这个故事不仅迎合了人们内心深处对成功的向往，也强调了过程和结果的不可分离。如果通往成功的道路崎岖曲折，那么成功的回报必然硕果累累，反之亦然。如果一个人继承了父辈的百万家产而生活得轻松富足，那么，即使在物质上，他也不能算是个成功人士，因为，他的财富并没有经过艰难困苦而获得。确切地说，“成功”这个词，不是个静态简单的定义。在我的理解中，真正意义上的成功是奋斗的过程和经历了奋斗之后赢得的满意的结果。请让我另举一例来阐明我的见解。
如果我们试着改变足球的比赛规则，将球门放得很大，换下大卫·希曼或其他任何的守门员，这样，随便哪个“大卫”，比如说，“大卫·贝克汉姆”，就可以轻松进球，然而这样进一球却不能给他带来成功的震颤与喜悦。如果我们再改一改比赛规则，不让阿森纳队的防守来守门，那么，贝克汉姆只要动动手，其实就是抬抬脚就能进一球，那样的话、，实际上也没有什么比赛可言了，因为赢球的意义已经不存在了。在接受挑战、克服困难和经历磨难的'过程中，“成功”的价值才得以丰满。取得成果的意义和所克服的艰难的程度成正比。所谓成功的概念不是一成不变的.而昙相对而言的,因为困难的性质也是相对意义上的。
正常人不费力气做成的事对于一个残疾人来说也许相当困难。获得了同正常人一样的能力，这个残疾人就获得了成功。这便是我们为什么崇敬史蒂芬·霍金的原因—虽然行动不便，受到了轮椅的限制，他依然为科学界作出了巨大的贡献。
就我自己而言，生性羞涩，容易怯场，不得不鼓起非常大的勇气来参加此次的演讲比赛。我完全可以待在一边，不参加大学级别的比赛，而落得轻松自在。可是，我还是选择了接受这一挑战来面对困难。现在我来了，如果我能够得第一的话.这对我来说就是巨大的成功。如果，我是最后一名—我希望情况不是这样—但如果我真的是最后一名，我也不会认为这次的尝试是一次失败，反而我要把它当作一次真正的成功来庆贺，因为我一部分的目标是对自己性格的锻炼—更加坚强、勇敢地面对困难。对我来说，这标志着我在通向成功人生的漫漫征途中又向前迈进了一步，尽管是很小的一步，但是我确实通过参与真正地获得了收益。
回到我们年轻英俊的王子和对“成功”的四步骤定义上吧，您也许已经注意到了财富、地位和名誉等这些世俗的标准在故事中并未提及，相反故事强调了克服重重困难的过程。古代的智慧已经对成功的意义下了定义，这也是我的定义。
谢谢!
smoking and health
we meet smokers everywhere. there are 6.5 billion people in the world, and about 1.2 billion of them are smokers, which make up to 20 percent of the worlds total population.
smoking is very harmful. first, smoking costs a great deal of money. it wastes 200 billion dollars each year in the world. second,smoking does harm to the health of smokers and even the people near them. about 3 million people die of diseases caused by smoking every year.
luckily, more and more people have come to realize the great harm of smoking. to our delight the total amount of world tobacco production has dropped from over 14 billion pounds in to 7 billion pounds in . it is certain that the number of smokers will further decrease gradually.
Our character, basically, is a composite of our habits. “Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny,” the maxim goes.
Habits are powerful factors in our lives. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.
As Horace Mann, the great educator, once said, “Habits are like a cable. We weave a strand of it everyday and soon it cannot be broken.” I personally do not agree with the last part of his expression. I know habits can be learned and unlearned. But I also know it isn't a quick fix. It involves a process and a tremendous commitment.
Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11 were transfixed as we saw the first men walk on the moon and return to earth. But to get there, those astronauts literally had to break out of the tremendous gravity pull of the earth. More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off, in the first few miles of travel, than was used over the next several days to travel half a million miles.
Habits, too, have tremendous gravity pull- more than most people realize or would admit. Breaking deeply imbedded habitual tendencies such as procrastination, impatience, criticalness, or selfishness that violate basic principles of human effectiveness involves more than a little willpower and a few minor changes in our lives. “Lift off” takes a tremendous effort, but once we break out of the gravity pull, our freedom takes on a whole new dimension.
Like any natural force, gravity pull can work with us or against us. The gravity pull of some of our habits may currently be keeping us from going where we want to go. But it is also gravity pull that keeps our world together, that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order. It is a powerful force, and if we use it effectively, we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the cohesiveness and order necessary to establish effectiveness in our lives.
why is goal-setting important? because goals can help you do and experience every meaningful thing you hope for in life. instead of letting life happen to you goals allow you to make your life happen.
successful people have visions of what their life should be and they set lots of goals both sbort-term and long-range to help them realize the visions. by setting goals you are taking control of your life. it is like having a map to show where you want to go. a driver with an aim arrives at the destination without any waste of time or wrong turns.
on the contrary a driver with no aim drives aimlessly around never getting anywhere and just using up gas and oil. winners in life set goals and follow through on them. they decide what they want and then get there by making plans and setting goals.
goals ara not difficult to set and they are not difficult to reach. it is up to you to find out what your goals ideals and visions really are. with a clear direction and with certain plans you will straightly get what you want.
without a goal you have to live a passive life. you do not know where to go what you want and why you are listless. then your life be comes dull and meaningless just like the dead water in a muddy lake.
为什么目标设定很重要?因为目标可以帮助你做和体验你希望生活中的每一件有意义的事情。不要让生命发生在你，目标让你让你的生活发生。
成功的人都有自己应该过的生活的愿景，他们设定了许多目标，双方近期和长期的，帮助他们实现梦想。通过设定目标，你可以控制你的生活。这就像有地图显示你想去哪里。一个有目的的司机没有任何浪费时间或错误的转身到达目的地。
相反，一个没有目标，漫无目的地周围驱动器，没有任何结果，只是使用了天然气和石油。生活中的赢家设定目标，并通过对他们进行跟踪。他们决定他们想要什么，然后通过制定计划和制定目标来制定计划。
目标是不难确定，他们是不难达到。你要找出你的目标，理想和愿景，真的是。有了明确的方向，具有一定的计划，你会直接得到你想要的。
没有目标，你就必须过被动的生活。你不知道要去哪里，你想要什么，你为什么无精打采。然后你的生活会变得平淡而无意义，就像一个浑浊的湖水里的水一样。
Life is a struggle. I shall never forget the most striking part of HenryWadsworth Longfellow' s poem -- A Psalm of Life: "In the world's blood field ofbattle, In the bivouac of life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero inthe strife!"
Ludwig van Beethoven was a typical "hero in the strife". He was not onlyone of the greatest composers, but also one of the most persevering men. As adeaf man, he went on working with his strong will in the last year of his life,though he was not able to hear his own fine and original music. Another exampleof persistence in struggle is Deng Yaping. She once said that her technique camefrom continuous training, emphasizing the importance of daily practice to aplayer.
As a student, I seem to be in a boat sailiug against the current. I mustmake an effort to forge ahead. A little carelessness will result in being drivenback. Indeed, learning is a struggle against idleness and carelessness.Following the examples of Ludwig van Beethoven and Deng Yaping, I shall takegreat pains to urge myself on, moving steadily forward like a heroic boatman inthe rough sea of knowledge.
The lives of most men are determined by their enviroment.They accept thecircumstances amid which fate has thrown them not only resignation but even withgood will.They are like streetcars running contendedly on their rails and theydespise the sprightly flitter that dashes in and out of the traffic and speedsso jauntily across the open country .I respct them; they are good citizens,goodhusbands,and good fathers ,and of course somebody has to pay the taxes; but I donot find them exciting. I am fasinated by the men, few enough in all conscience, who take life in their own hands and seem to mould it in to their own liking.It may be that we have no such thing as free will, but at all events, we havethe illusion of it. At a cross-road it does seem to us that we might go eitherto the right or to the left and ,the choice once made, it is difficult to seethat the whole course of the world's history obliged us to take the turning wedid.
大多数人的生活被他们身处的环境所决定。他们不仅接受既定的命运，而且顺从命运的安排。他们就像街上的电车一样，在他们既定的轨道上行驶，而对于那些不时出没于车水马龙间和欢快地奔驰在旷野上的廉价小汽车却不屑一顾。我尊重他们，他们是好公民、好丈夫和好父亲。当然，总得有些人来支付税收，但是，他们并没有令人激动的地方。另外有一些人，他把生活掌握在自己的手里，可以按照自己的喜好去创造生活，尽管这样的人少之又少，但我却被他们深深的吸引着。可能世界上并没有诸如自由意志这样的事情，但是无论怎样，我们总有关于自由意志的的幻想。当我们处在一个十字路口时，我们似乎可以决定向左走还是向右走，可是一旦做出选择，我们却很难意识到，实际上是世界历史的全部进程强迫我们做出了那样的选择。
Matt and his wife lived in the country. Matt was very stingy and hated spending money. One day a fair came to the nearby town.
"Let’s go to the fair, Matt," his wife said. "We haven’t been anywhere for a long time."
Matt thought about this for a while. He knew he would have to spend money at the fair. At last he said, "All right, but I’m not going to spend much money. We’ll look at things, but we won’t buy anything. "
They went to the fair and looked at all the things to buy. There were many things Matt’s wife wanted to buy, but he would not let her spend any money.
Then, in a nearby field, they saw a small airplane.
"Fun flights!" the notice said, " $$ 10 for 10 minutes.
Matt had never been in an airplane and he wanted to go on a fun flight. However, he didn’t want to have to pay for his wife, as well.
"I’ve only got $$ 10, " he told the pilot. "Can my wife come with me for free?" The pilot wasn’t selling many tickets, so he said, "I’ll make a bargain with you. If your wife doesn’t scream or shout, she can have a free flight."
Matt agreed, and got into the small airplane with his wife.
The pilot took off and made his airplane do all kinds of things. At one moment it was flying upside down.
When the plane landed, the pilot said, "0. K. your wife didn’t make a sound. She can have her ride free."
"Thank you," Matt said. "It wasn’t easy for her, you know, especially when she fell out."

6. a forever friend小学英语演讲
a forever friend
sometimes in life you find a special friend
someone who change you life just by being part of it someone who makes you laugh until you can not stop
someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the word
someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it
this is forever friendship
有时在生活中
您找到一个特殊的朋友 谁改变了你的生活只是被部分
有人谁让你哈哈大笑，直到你不能停止 有人谁使你相信真的有良好的文字
有人谁说服你，真的是一个刚刚打开大门等着你 打开它
这是永远的友谊

Is Failure a Bad Thing Failure is a common thing in our daily life. As students, we sometimes fail to get high scores in our exams. When we play games, we might be beaten by others. And there are times when we fail to do work well. All these failures happen naturally and almost every one of us has such experiences. However, there are different attitudes towards failure. Some people lose heart when they fail; they think the world is at its end. Some people don‘t take failure seriously but just let it be, while some others learn much from failure, and therefore see the light of hope through failure. In my opinion, what is really important is not failure itself, but what we think of failure and what we do after failure. As long as we don‘t give up, keeping believing in ourselves, and at the same time learn something from failure, we‘ll certainly make our mark in the end. So I am never afraid of failure, for I believe that failure is not a bad thing. Rather, “Failure is the mother of success.”
失败是坏事吗 失败在我们的日常生活中很常见。作为学生，我们有时在考试中得不到高分。在我们和其他人比赛时，有时会输。还有的时候，我们总做不好事情。所有这些失败都很自然，我们每一个人都有类似的经历。 然而，面对失败人们的态度却截然不同。一些人失败后变得灰心丧气，似乎世界末日到了；一些人不拿失败当回事儿，听之任之；还有一些人却从失败中学习东西，从而从失败中能看到希望。 在我看来，重要的不是失败本身，而是我们对待失败的态度和失败之后我们的行动。只要我们不放弃，相信自己，并从失败中汲取营养，我们最后一定会取得胜利。因此，我从不害怕失败，因为我相信失败并不是坏事。相反，“失败是成功之母”。
There was a young herdsman who wanted very much to marry, and was acquaintedwith three sisters. Each one was just as beautiful as the other, so it was difficult for him to make a choice, and he could not decide to give the preference to any one of them. Then he asked his mother for advice, and she said, "Invite all three, and set some cheese before them, and watch how they cut off a slice."
The youth did so. The first one ate the cheese with the rind on. The second onehastily cut the rind off the cheese, but she cut it so quickly that she left much good cheese with it, and threw that away also. The third peeled the rind off carefully, and cut neither too much nor too little. The shepherd told all this to his mother, who said, "Take the third for your wife."
This he did, and lived contentedly and happily with her.
good morning everyone, before my speech, i want to ask one question, what do you eat this morning? yeah, food is present in our life every time. so today my topic is how do we eat on campus?
1，in china there is an old saying: bread is the staff of life. the chinese meaning is 民以食为天。obviously, it means food plays a decisive [di'saisiv] role in our daily life, food safety is a matter of primary ['praim?ri] importance , the issue is closely related to ordinary people’s health.
2, as we know, the food safety is a serious problem in china, and on campus ,the matter is also exist, and the unhealthy food harm our health everyday. for example, in the morning, you buy a donut for breakfast, and likely, the donut is made by drainage oil; and when you hungry you buy kebab ,it may be dealed with chemical materials. so even on campus, we also should improve food safety awareness.
3, the unhealthy food seriously harm our body, it can cause different kinds of diseases, from a headache to cancer, this is not a threat, some unhealthy food, containing various additives. and which give a tremendous threat to us. some unhealthy food will make us ill, such as diarrhea , stomach ache and other disease of digestive tract. some food additives use chemical materials to make food looks better, but it will carcinogenic [,kɑ:sin?u'd?enik] in a long time.
acquires new meaning in today's era (时代) of change. The road to successstarts from the beginning, and our world is one full of competitions, If onlychildren have never had any setback, in the long run they won't bear any setbackor failure in life. Some setback early on may make them ready for verychallenging issues at a later date.
有些人认为只有孩子不需要挫折的经验，是trmes变了，只有儿童不应受到严格的要求。在他们看来，经历挫折使这些敏感的孩子感到被压迫者(战败者)。因此，只有对不起孩子精神上有害其心理wellWeing(心理健康)。但有些人却持相反的意见。他们声称，挫折经验，有利于独生子女。鼓励儿童实践弱点的技能和能力的工作，并完成其目标，让他们用实际和竞争激烈的社会。通过一些挫折走向可能会有助于他们对未来的个人性格形成。
在我看来，挫折的经验，应紧急主张(倡导)。挫折经验，取得今天的时代(时代)变革的新的意义。从一开始的成功之路开始，我们的世界是一个充满竞争，如果只有孩子从未有过任何挫折，从长远来说，他们将不承担任何挫折或失败的生活。早期的一些挫折就可能使其成为非常具有挑战性的在日后的问题做好准备。
Environmental protection is what? "Ring" is the environment, "Paul" is toprotect, "environmental protection" is the meaning of the protection of theenvironment. Now, people in almost every day talking about "environmentalprotection, environmental protection, they can" understand "environmentalprotection"? Do not understand, they although know to "environmentalprotection", but every day they but still littering, spitting, indiscriminatehunting animals, indiscriminate use of natural resources... They can know thatthe consequences of not protecting the environment is what? Human home, humanlife will be a serious threat. Mankind's home is faced with the destruction ofnatural disasters such as volcano, earthquake, debris flow, typhoon, flood andso on, not only is this, our home is still at a time of war and the humanunreasonable use of natural resources to bring more serious pollution,destruction. You know, the war brought to the human and the environment isfatal, a war, I do not know how many dead people, do not know to want to make asmuch land as barren......
Whenever I see a stream of black, I can not say the pain, the river alsohas a lot of fresh life, because the human mercilessly pollute the environment,to make these lives forever gone. Flowers and trees by the river, although notordinary, but they are the important task of the beautification of theenvironment. Trees can absorb carbon dioxide and produce a large amount ofoxygen for human breathing. If humans have polluted the river, will cause thedeath of trees, then the human is to dig one's own grave. Because water is animportant condition for human existence.
Since people living on the earth, has the responsibility to protect theearth every tree and bush. Everything on earth is nature to us, why we do notprotect, do not care for those things? The earth is our home, if we human beingshave destroyed their homes, then we have a reason to live? To protect theearth's home is to protect their own lives!
Our planet is full of vitality, a variety of plants will dress up, blew theearth in different poses and with different expressions. A variety of birds,beasts, insects, aquatic animals inhabit in the respective environment, vastforests, vast sea and vast desert has all kinds of biological. Human beings andmillions of living things on earth, the earth is the common home of all livingthings. Let's go with them and protect our home!
环保”是什么?“环”就是环境，“保”就是保护，“环保”就是保护环境的意思。现在，人们几乎每天都在念叨着“环保、环保”，可他们懂“环保”吗?不懂，他们虽然知道要“环保”，可是，他们每天却依旧乱扔果皮纸屑、乱吐痰、乱捕杀动物、乱利用自然资源……他们可知道，不保护环境带来的后果是什么?是人类的家园、人类的生命将受到严重的威胁。人类的家园时刻面临着火山、地震、泥石流、台风、洪涝等自然灾害的破坏，不仅仅是这样，我们的家园还时刻遭受着战乱以及人类不合理利用自然资源带来的日益严重的污染、破坏。要知道，战争带给人类和环境是致命的伤害，一场战争，不知要死多少的人，不知要使多少土地寸草不生……
每当我看到一条小河变黑时，我心里有说不出的苦，河里也有许多鲜活的生命，就因为人类无情地污染环境，才使这些生命永远地离去。河边的花草树木，尽管不起眼，可他们却担任着美化环境的重任。树木可以吸收二氧化碳，生产大量的氧气，供人类呼吸。如果人类把小河污染了，就会导致树木的死亡，那么人类就等于在自掘坟墓。因为水是人类生存的重要条件。
人既然生活在地球上，就有责任保护地球上的一草一木。地球上的东西都是大自然给我们的，我们为什么不保护、不爱护那些东西呢?地球是我们的家园，如果我们人类把自己的家园都破坏掉，那我们还有生存的理由吗?保护地球家园就等于保护自己的生命呀!
我们的地球家园充满勃勃生机、各种植物将大地装扮得千姿百态、绚丽多彩。各种各样的飞禽、走兽、昆虫、水生动物栖息在各自的环境里，广阔的森林、浩瀚的海洋、无垠的沙漠里都有形形色色的生物。人类与千万种生物共同生活在地球上，地球是所有生物共同的家园。让我们与它们为伴，一起保护我们的家园吧!
Do you see the glass as half-full rather than all empty? The two differentanswers to this question represent two different attitudes towards life --optimistic attitude and pessimistic attitude.
Optimism always leads to happiness, health and success while pessimism, bycontrast, results in hopelessness, sickness and failure. That's becauseoptimists and pessimists deal with the same challenges and disappointments invery different ways. When things go wrong,the pessimist tends to blame himself,while the optimist looks for loop holes. The optimist feels in control of hisoverall life. If things are going badly, he acts quickly, looking for solutions,forming a new plan of action, and seeking for advice. On the contrary, thepessimist yields to the arrangement of fate and moves slowly. He doesn't seekadvice, since he assumes nothing can be done.
Most people are a mix of optimism and pessimism. Optimism is important inall aspects of our lives. If you can change your mind from pessimism tooptimism, you can change your life.
你认为玻璃杯是半满的还是全空的?对这个问题两种不同的答案代表了对生活两种不同的态度——乐观态度和消极态度。
乐观常常会带来快乐，健康和成功;相反，消极会导致无助，疾病和失败。这是因为乐观主义者和消极主义者处理统一挑战和失望的方式截然不同。当事情出错的时候，消极主义者往往会责怪自己，而乐观主义者会寻找漏洞。乐观主义者会控制住生活全局。如果事情进展不顺利，他快速行动寻找解决方案，形成新的行动计划并寻求意见。相反，悲观主义者会屈服于命运的安排，行动缓慢。他不会寻求意见，因为他觉得什么也做不了。
大部分人是乐观和悲观的混合体。乐观对我们生活的各个方面都很重要。如果你能够你能把悲观的想法变成乐观，你就可以改变你的生活。
As the whole world has its boundaries, limits and freedom coexist in our life. I don’t expect complete freedom, which is impossible. I simply have a dream that supports my life.
I dream that one day, I could escape from the deep sea of thick schoolbooks and lead my own life. With my favorite fictions, I lie freely on the green grass, smelling the spring, listening to the wind singing, breathing the fresh and cool air and dissolve my soul in nature at last. Simple and short enjoyment can bring me great satisfaction.
I dream that one day the adults could throw their prejudice of comic and cartoon away. They could keep a lovely heart that can share sorrow and happiness with us while watching cartoon or doing personal things. That’s the real communication of heart to heart.
I have the belief that my dreams should come true. I am looking forward to some day coming when I am like a proud eagle, which flies to the blue and vast sky.
Leading members and judges, young friends: Hello, everybody!
My name is , and we are pleased to be able to discuss the pursuit of excellence, dedication youth, this topic, I am going to talk about today is "willing to sacrifice, the fire ignited youth."
Let the fire burn eternal youth, so that life lightning across the horizon, with all the enthusiasm in exchange for time, there is no end to the dream of youth! I really appreciate the "Agni youth," these words inside, and has been encouraging with its own study, work and life. I think that youth should be burned, give off light only value! Burning of one's life may also be corrupt, in that case, I do not want to corrupt, not corrupt, I would like to burn up! Friends present here! You like it?
Youth is our most beautiful season of life, she is breeding in early spring of life, demonstrating a warm summer, with autumn's master real hidden, which makes clear the hope of winter, full of poetic passion and not a lack of hard work, fashion, romantic and full of the hard struggle. When a person's youth integrate into an era, a career, so youth will not go away, and this will certainly cause in the years of experience in the reflection of bright light.
Here, I am reminded of the phrase: "Some people live, he is dead; some dead, he is still alive." The meaning of life is to live, then the meaning of life is it? Certainly not to live while alive, the answer is only two words, and dedication! We can imagine that, not pay, do not create, do not pursue such a youth must gradually grow old in the middle of Things Past, Looking back, there is no trace, no recall, life was filled with sighing everywhere. I think this is not the meaning of our existence. Throughout the ages, there are numerous capable person in the prime of his achievements had already immortal life, I have no time to list them here. However, a person's name I can not but mention, he is always learning model, one of the most extraordinary is the greatest most selfless people. As we all know he is? The legend is that Lei Feng, who warned us that: "youth ah, always beautiful, but the true youth, belongs only to those who always strive for the best people, always selfless labor of the people, always humble man!" I think everyone here one, including myself, could be such a person.
Frankly, three years ago, when I first came to work and there have been lost and confused, feeling the reality is not ideal, the dream has always felt from some distance, once among the perplexed. However, the youth, I was just cast a good knife, should not have to wait and you have a moment of hesitation. I never watched the knife slowly oxidized and dull, then mottled, rust, weathering, and finally became a scrap. I told myself, "if you are gold, will be able to shine, as long as you face the high morale, and to face work, you will have access to." Road is long Come, happiness of the up and down the quest. Youth is the season of learning, youth years of struggle, do not stop our progress, because the youth of the road is long. Have time stop and take a look book, back to think about the road traveled, a good life for their own planning, the ideals enshrined in the minds of their own, willing to make a lonely, innovative, highly motivated young people.
Youth is not a period of life, but a heart condition. If your heart is young, many of you will always remain a dream, in the densely overcast days, to seize the moment will still flash of golden sun. Although we were born in different years, working in different positions, but we have a common home, where we keep the same entrepreneurial spirit, dedication to write the same commitment, with the same magnificent youth. This is a speech, it is a confession. When I filled with youthful air, carries a heavy dreams and beliefs standing here the moment, my heart is so magnanimous and passionate, the kind of indescribable excitement and tension, I sincerely invite you to share.
heart.Real fris can share all our sorrows and double all ourjoys.While making fris, we should take care to select those who have suchfine qualities.
hen we should treat our fris with courtesy, be careful notto interfere unreasonably with them,and not to ridicule their proceedings.Weshould forgive their failures and do our best to help them.In short, when wehave established friship, we ought to cherish and treasure it by means ofwords and deeds.Only thus, can we develop real friship and keep the sacredlamp of friship burning all our life.
With the development of our society, energy in the world becomes more andmore limited, so it is quite important for us to save energy and to protect ourenvironment. As a student, there are a lot of methods we can do to save energyat home. For example, first, we can turn off the light as well as otherappliances when we are not using them. Second, recycle the waste water, paperand other waste so that we can reuse them. What's more, it is suggested to usepublic transportation more instead of
private cars.
Above all, everyone can make a great contribution to our environment. Ihope I can learn more to develop new and clear energy, like energy from the windand solar.
随着社会的发展，世界上的能源越来越有限，因此节约能源和保护环境对我们来说非常重要。作为一个学生，我们有很多方法可以在家里节约能源。例如，首先，我们可以关掉光以及其他设备，当我们不使用它们。第二，回收废水、纸张和其他废物，以便我们能重复利用它们。此外，建议更多地使用公共交通工具。
私家车。
最重要的是，每个人都能为我们的环境做出巨大贡献。我希望我能学到更多的东西来开发新的和清晰的能量，比如风能和太阳能。
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth, even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.
A careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life; a timely word may level stress; a loving word may heal and bless.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with a tear. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.
There was once a guy who suffered from cancer, a cancer that can?'t be cured. He was 18 years old and he could die anytime. All his life, he was stuck in his house being taken cared by his mother. He never went outside but he was sick of staying home and wanted to go out for once. So he asked his mother and she gave him permission.
He walked down his block and found a lot of stores. He passed a CD store and looked through the front door for a second as he walked. He stopped and went back to look into the store. He saw a beautiful girl about his age and he knew it was love at first sight. He opened the door and walked in, not looking at anything else but her. He walked closer and closer until he was finally at the front desk where she sat.
She looked up and asked, “Can I help you?”
She smiled and he thought it was the most beautiful smile he has ever seen before and wanted to kiss her right there.
He said, “Uh… Yeah… Umm… I would like to buy a CD.”
He picked one out and gave her money for it.
"Would you like me to wrap it for you?” she asked, smiling her cute smile again.
Good morning, everybody!
In this world, there is one thing that is very fair to everybody, whether you are a male or female, young or old, rich or poor. Does anybody know what it is called?

Hello everyone!
The Mid Autumn Festival has many customs, such as eating moon cakes, enjoying the moon, drinking osmanthus wine and so on, but do you know the origin of the Mid Autumn Festival?
It is said that Hou Yi went to the mountains to find friends. When he saw the West Queen's mother passing by, he asked the West Queen's mother for a bag of immortal medicine. After returning home, Hou Yi gave the elixir to his wife Chang'e for safekeeping. But he was seen by his brother, Yun Meng, who immediately had a bad heart.
Once Hou Yi took his apprentice to hunt. He pretended to have a stomachache and stayed. As soon as Hou Yi left, Pang Meng broke into the room with a sword and forced Chang'e to hand over the elixir of immortality. Chang'e was forced to retreat. When she retreated to the bed, Chang'e had an idea and swallowed the elixir under her pillow. Just after eating, Chang'e felt that she had become light and floated into the air. Chang'e was worried about her husband, so she flew to the nearest moon and became an immortal.
After Hou Yi came back, he found Chang'e's moon in the sky and said to him, "the moon will round tonight. You make a dough in the northeast corner of the house at night. When midnight, our husband and wife will be reunited." After Hou Yi did so, they were reunited at midnight.
From then on, Hou Yi would make dough every year on August 15, waiting for Chang'e to come back to eat. Later, this custom was inherited and developed into the current Mid Autumn Festival. Eating moon cakes on the Mid Autumn Festival has become a major custom of traditional festivals.
I like the fairy tale of Chang'e running to the moon and the Mid Autumn Festival.
Thank you!
I like to go out with my parents, they will take me to differentrestaurants. In the restaurants, they like to order different food for me totaste them. My parents know me so much, they know I like to eat delicious food,so when they order the new food for me, it makes so happy, I like myparents.
译文：我喜欢和我的父母外出，他们会带我去不同的饭店。在饭店里，他们会为我点不同的食物来让我品尝。我的父母很了解我，他们知道我喜欢吃美味的食物，所以当他们为我点新食物的时候，我很高兴，我喜欢我的父母。
How I Prepare for My Future Career.
I decided to be a middle school teacher after college. There are many reasons contribute to this decision.
Firstly, when I was a little boy, I have been dreaming of being a teacher. It seemed so fascinate to me and I hope I can make my dream come true.
Besides, I like so much to be with middle school students. Most of the students at that age are full of youthful spirity and I am sure their passion would pass to me. I will retain all the zest of adolescence.
The most important reason is that our country needs plenty of teachers. So far, teaching is considered a tough and low-income job in China. However, if we have not enough teachers, our future will lack of excellent scientist, managers, businessmen, soldiers and even goood workers and farmers. How can our country to be strong and wealthy?
I wish my country to be a better one. I am ready to be a teacher and hope all the persons with lofty ideals may dedicate themselves to this meaningful career.
My favorite color is black, and of course Halloween also includes me!
Today, we have a "ghost" convention.
Ni xiaodong put his beloved ghost mask on his head and put his mother'sblack clothes on him, and went with me to play tricks on female classmates. Weclosed the doors and hid behind the door to scare li xiuzhen. We didn't expecther to be ready: when she opened the door, we put on the mask to scare her. Sheheld out a bloody hand to catch us. We didn't scare her, but she was scared!What a loss!
Our class, dressed in outlandish costumes, crossed into small baskets,filed in a line, ran to the office, and asked the teacher for candy. The leadershouted, "Trick or treat!" "Trick or treat! Was catnip or treat! ... "Of course,the teachers laughed and gave candy...
After school, I lit my booty: wow! There are more than 50 candies! I peelthe candy paper and tuck the candy into my mouth, the sweet fruit juice of sweetfruit always permeates my heart...
My Dream
I dream of being a doctor.
My mother is a doctor. She always has to wor k extra hours and comes home late and tired. She has to go to the hospital immediately any time she is needed, no matter how late it is at night. When I was very little , I once asked her why she chose such a boring and hard job. S he answered with a smile, “Yes I am sometim es very tired but seeing my patients getting b etter and better makes me happy from the bot tom of my heart.”
As I grow up, I gradually come t o understand her words and realize doctors are noble. I ma de up my mind to be a doctor when I was in ju nior school and this has never changed since then.
I really hope to see a world where there is no cancer, no Aids, no fatal disease, no one suffe ring from illness. But this is only a fantasy. W hat about the reality? There are still many ma ny people who are faced with disastrous dise ase and suffering from constant pain. There a re still many many people living in miserable condition and live miserably. There are still m any many people dying of cancer and leaving the beautiful world reluctantly. All those thing s make me feel sad because I think everyone has the right to live . I want to help the sick an d reduce their pain as much as I can. I want t o bring a healthy body to the patients and sav e their lives as many as I can. I want to see pe ople cured ,living happily with their families a nd friends after my treatment. So I want to be a doctor ,an angel in white.
When I become a doctor, I will cherish each lif e regardless of the races, sexes, ages, positio ns and occupations. I will do every bit to cure the incurable.
I already have a dream in my heart,so I have t o make every effort to realize it.【As a high sc hool student now,I will seize every chance to study hard,arm myself with knowledge, prepa re myself for the future and strive for my drea ms.（ 可以省略）】I will be determined, face the reality bravely and not surrender to any pr oblems I meet.
Just as Gothe says,“The important thing in lif e is to have a great aim and be determined to attain it.”Being a doctor is my dream. I think it is simple but meanful
有人说"我们正在读一本书的第一章的第一节，无穷的。我不知道谁写了这些话，但是我一直很喜欢它，作为一个提醒，未来可以是任何我们想要的。我们都是在农民的位置。如果我们种下好的种子，我们获得好收成。如果我们什么都不种，我们将一无所获。
我们是年轻的。"怎样度过青春?"这是一个有意义的问题。要回答这个问题，我首先要问"你怎么理解这个词的青春?青春不是生命的一段时光，它是一种精神状态。它不是红润的面颊，红色的嘴唇和柔软的双膝。它是意志问题。它是生命的深泉在涌流。
一个诗人说"从一粒沙子看到一个世界，一朵花里一个天堂，把握在你手心里的就是无限，永恒在刹那间收藏。前几天，我有机会去听一个演讲。我学到了很多东西。我想和大家分享。让我们把右手掌。我们可以看到三条线，展示我们的love。career生活。我有一个短的生活。
你的呢?我想知道我们是否可以这样看我们的未来。好的`，让我们做一个拳头。我们的未来在哪里?
哪里是我们的爱，事业，生活?告诉我。是的，它就在我们的手中。它是在我们自己。
我们所有人都希望未来会比过去更好。但是未来能自己变得更好。不要因为它的结束而哭泣，要因为它的发生而微笑。在过去，我们已经了解到，生活是艰苦的，但我们更坚强。我们知道我们不能选择我们的感觉，但我们可以选择什么呢。失败并不意味着你不拥有它，它只是意味着你必须用不同的方式做它。失败并不意味着你应该放弃，它意味着你必须更加努力。
正如我在前面所说的，"我们正在读一本书的第一章的第一节，无穷的。过去的已经过去。我们所做的任何事都会改变它。而未来就在我们面前。相信我给予世界的，世界也将给我们。从今天开始，让我们做我们自己的主人，并说出"世界是我们的，未来是我们的。"
Hello everyone:
A survey about smokers in a middle school tells that although 90% of all students never smoke, 3% of them often smoke and 7% sometimes do. In other words, 10% of the students smoke. That’s terrible.
As we know, smoking is harmful to our health. Every year, thousands of people lose their lives because of it. Smoking not only does harm to your health, but also wastes money. Because, a fire may be caused by cigarette ends. It’s a pity to learn that one ends in death by smoking.
In all, smoking is so dangerous that we should keep away from it.
That’s all!
Thank you!
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, 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 their captivity.
But one hundred years later, the Negro still is 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 languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we've 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, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable 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, a 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. And so, we've 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 make real the promises of democracy. 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 lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.
The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.
We cannot walk alone.
And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.
We cannot turn back.
There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations.
Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. And some of you have come from areas where your quest -- quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.
Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."?
This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.
With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning:My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride,From every mountainside, let freedom ring!And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.
And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.
Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies ofPennsylvania.Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.But not only that:Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.
Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.
From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:
Free at last! free at last!
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!
I think smiling is as important as sunshine. Smiling is like sunshine because it can make people happy and have a good day. If you arent happy, you can smile, and then you will feel happy. Someone may say, But I dont feel happy. Then I would say, Please smile as you do when you are happy or play with your friends happily. You will really be happy again.
You dont like crying, right? So you must prefer smiling, because you know smiling will let people forget everything unhappy. Every day, we see teachers or students and say, Hi/Hello! How are you? At the same time, you are smiling, right?
Smiling can let you have more friends. With a smile, people will know youre a kind person. They will talk with you, so you will have more and more friends.
So I say, smiling is like a flower, the sunshine, warmth. It will give you happiness.
