我想，很多人都曾问过这样一个问题：我们为什么要学习英语？或许对台下的各位同学来说，学习英语只是一种任务，仅仅是为了应付考试才不得不学习的。
a long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. a little boy loved to come and lay around it every day. he climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow… he loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
time went by… the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. one day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. “come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “i am no longer a kid, i don't play around trees anymore.” the boy replied, “i want toys. i need money to buy them.” “sorry, but i don't have money…but you can pick all my apples and sell them. so, you will have money.” the boy was so excited. he grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. the boy never came back after he picked the apples. the tree was sad.
one day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. “come and play with me,” the tree said. “i don't have time to play. i have to work for my family. we need a house for shelter. can you help me?” “sorry, but i don't have a house. but you can chop off my branches to build your house.” so the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. the tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. the tree was again lonely and sad.
one hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. “come and play with me!” the tree said. “i am sad and getting old. i want to go sailing to relax myself. can you give me a boat?” “use my trunk to build your boat. you can sail far away and be happy.” so the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. he went sailing and never showed up for a long time. the tree was happy, but it was not true.
finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “sorry, my boy. but i don't have anything for you anymore. no more apples for you…” the tree said.
“i don't have teeth to bite,” the boy replied.
“no more trunk for you to climb on.”
“i am too old for that now,” the boy said.
“i really can't give you anything… the only thing left is my dying roots,” the tree said with tears.
“i don't need much now, just a place to rest. i am tired after all these years.” the boy replied.
Ways to Maintain Good Relationships Between the lovers
Therelationship is made beautifully, when two people come together to share theirlove for each other. Young lovers how to keep the flame in theirrelationship aglow.I have a long distance relationshipboyfriend of five years.From my perspective, goodrelationship refers to equality, helping and respecting each other, which isbased on trust. Here are my experiences in the love with my boy friend.
First of all Honesty.Be honest in your relationship. When two people from differentbackgrounds come together to share their love, honesty is the only thing thatkeeps the relationship to collapse. With honesty is confidence, love grows withtime.
Understanding followed. As a girl,dressing yourself quickly, doesn’t let your boyfriend wait too long atdownstairs. As a boy, trying to be more careful about the tiny change of yourgirl friend. Each of the lovers should learn to think in the standing ofopposite one, then you will understand why your lover behave in that way.
Further more, communication. Most relationships go awry because both parties inthe relationship assume their partner would automatically know what they arefeeling. Instead, why not try to tell him how you feel? Communication is thekey to any relationship.
Sometimes love is a magic thing, youcan’t handle it very well. I believe that if you love with your heart and soul,you will get a harvest in love.
Hello：
Water is very important for living things. without water there can be no life on earth.
All animals and plants need water. man also needs water.
Water is found atmosteverywhere. even in the driest part of the world there is some water in the air.
As we all have found out, water may be a solid, or a liquid or a gas.when it isa solid, it may be as hard as brick, when itis a liquid, you can pour it out of a container. when it is a gas, you cannot see or feel it.
Although about 70 percent of the earths surface is covered with water,there are many places in the world still running out of water.
So we should make good use of water on earth.
good morning(afternoon), dear teachers and fellow students. it’s my great honor to stand here and share with you a happy morning(afternoon). i am no__. my topic is “keep your goal in mind” .i hope you will enjoy it.
do you have a goal for your work? do you have a goal for your study? do you have a goal for your life? maybe i will get an affirmative reply. yeah, everyone has a goal of doing something. there is no doubt that a goal is very important in our life. now i want to tell you a true story in my school life. i have learned a lot from it.
i never forget last year’s school sports meeting. 1500-meter race was one of the most exciting. before the race, my best friend xiaoshan had a goal to be no. 1. as a matter a fact, she is not so strong, but she is a sunny girl. she is active and likes doing sports. what’s more, she tries her best to achieve the goal, but i wonder if she is able to be the champion. there were eight players in the race. on the first lap, she was in the sixth place; on the second lap, the took the fourth place, she went on running and she ran toward her goal, the goal in her mind, look! on the last lap, she was the first to pass the finishing line, she was the winner. oh, great! she made it! congratulations!
at that time, i knew a goal was so necessary and important. i made a decision : “i want to take part in the english speaking competition held in my school. what’s more, i will try my best to be no.1 in the competition as my best friend xiaoshan did in sports meet. ” i am sure of it. i still remembered what my english teacher said to us. he said :“if anyone took the first place in our school english speaking competition, he or she will be chose to take the competition held in jinjiang. it’s a great honor!”
though i can do well in my english written exams, however, to be honest, i am a little afraid to speak english in public. my english teacher often encourages me: “raoning, your voice sounds so beautiful, be brave, you will succeed.” from then on, i kept a goal in mind. i said to myself aloud: stick to your goal and you will win. and then i try my best to improve my oral english and dare to speak either in class or after class. at last, i took part in the competition and became no. 1. i am chose to take part in the next year’s english speaking competition held in jinjiang. i said to myself aloud again: come on! you will win.
how time flies! today i am a lucky dog. i am very honored to give you a speech. i hope everyone has a dream! in fact, we should work hard to make our dream come true. otherwise it will become day dream. at the same time, i hope everyone has a goal in mind, because the goal is the first step to success. come on, my friends, goal, goal, goal, success, success, success!
that’s all. thank you for your attention.
Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.
An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.
无论是60岁还是16岁，你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心、永不熄灭的孩提般求知的渴望和追求事业成功的欢乐与热情。在你我的心底，有一座无线电台，它能在多长时间里接收到人间万物传递来的美好、希望、欢乐、鼓舞和力量的信息，你就会年轻多长时间。
人的生命应当像河流，开始是涓涓细流，受两岸的限制而十分狭窄，尔后奔腾咆哮，翻过危岩，飞越瀑布，河面渐渐开阔，河岸也随之向两边隐去，最后水流平缓，森森无际，汇入大海之中，个人就这样毫无痛苦地消失了。
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity,of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.This often exists in a man of sixty more than a boy of grows old merely by a number of years.We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
青春意味着战胜懦弱的那股大丈夫气概和摈弃安逸的那种冒险精神。往往一个60岁的老者比一个20岁的青年更多一点这种劲头。人老不仅仅是岁月流逝所致，更主要的是不思进取的结果。
光阴可以在颜面上留下印记，而热情之火的熄灭则在心灵上刻下皱纹。烦恼、恐惧、缺乏自信会扭曲人的灵魂，并将青春化为灰烬。
My dear fellow students,The Olympics are just around the corner. Today I want to talk about good manners and courtesy.
We Chinese have always been respected and highly praised for good manners and courtesy, which have, as well, become precious traditions of our people. In a couple of weeks beyond, a large number of foreign friends will come to China to join us in enjoying the Olympics. Before foreign guests, we should have an easy manner and behave politely and warm-heartedly. In public places, such ugly behaviors as uproar, pushing or squeezing together, spitting and so on should be determinedly forbidden. In a sense, each of us will not simply stand for ourselves but stand for China. Therefore, boys and girls, let’s do it well right now and the eyes of the world are to on us!
Here are some things you can do to keep yourself healthy.
Having a good diet is very important. This means eating lots of different kinds of food and lots of fresh fruit and vegetables.
Doing exercise is another good way of keeping yourself healthy. Exercise makes you fitter and helps you relax.
Some things are bad for your health, like smoking and drinking alcohol. It is better to try and give up these things or at least do them less.
It is important to have regular check ups with a dentist who will check your teeth. You can also visit an optician who will check your eyes.
You should ask your doctor for a health check once a year. The doctor will be able to help you spot other problems that you might not have noticed.
Good afternoon,ladies and gentlemen,I’m Wang from Class*Grade*’s my pleasure to stand here today to talk about my school—Dalian No.9 Middle school.
Two years ago,when I first stepped into No.9 Middle school,I immediately fell in love with it. It is a beautiful buildings are new and the walls are covered with wild roses that dazzle theeyes in the bee-humming air. I’ve thought of it the grass turns green in the springtime,and how the mocking birds flutter their tails and sing,how the moon shines down on the building,how the Cuckoo Waltz rings out the precious short-lived hours,how the teenagers in bright summer dresses promenade the grassy lawn.
During these two years,my teachers have given me unconditional support,and have given their words of encouragement in good times and their words of consolation in difficult have always given me alittle more than I asked for and instilled in me the values and principles that govern my life ’s the teachers’ instruction here that tells me the art of living is to know when to hold fast and when to let rabbis of old put it this way "A man comes to the world with his fist clenched,but when he dies,his hand is open." I’ve learned a lot from my classmates and friends,we have overcomed many have always been optimistic and my feet hurt,they all cared about me and some of them offered to help me up and down play together,we learn together and we grow up ’s the help between our classmates that tells me how to love my ver mean life is ,meet it and live ’s the school motto that tells me to improve myself,seek truth and develop innovations.
I love my school because of all this,besides,there is something more than I can say.
To end my speech ,let’s all give our best wishes to thefurther development of our campus! Thhank you.

I have a dream Every one has his own dream.When I was a little kid ,my dream was even to have a candy shop of my own .But now ,when I am 16 years old ,standing here ,my dreams have already changed a lot.
I have got quite different experience from other girls.While they were playing toys at home,while they were dreaming to be the princesses in the story .I was running in the hard rain,jumping in the heavy snow,pitching in the strong could stop me ,because of a wonderful call from my heart -- to be an athlete.Yeah ,of course ,I'm an athlete,I'm so proud of that all the time .
When I was 10 years old ,I became a shot-put athlete.The training was really hard ,I couldn't bear the heavy shot in my hands .But I always believe that "god only help those who help themselves".During those hard days,I find I was growing more quickly than others of the same be an athlete is my most correct choice.But,I quit my team after entering high school because of a silly excuse.I really didn't want to stop my sports career anyway.
Today I say to you my friends that even though I must face the difficulties of yesterday ,today and tomorrow .I still have a dream .It is a dream deeply rooted in my soul.
I have a dream that one day ,I can run,jump and pitch just like I used to be.
I have a dream that one day , I can go back to my dream sports and join the national team.
I have a dream that one day ,I can stand on the highest place at the olympic games.With all the cameras pointing at me.I will tell everyone that I'm so proud to be a Chinese athlete!
This is my hope .This is the faith that I continue my steps with!!!
With this faith ,I will live though the strong wind and heavy rain ,never give up !
In my imagination,I'm a bird ,a magical bird.I carry my dreams all with me by my big wings. I fly though the mountains ,though the forests ,over the sea,to the sun ,the warmest place in the aerospace!
Every night ,I have a dream ,I see a girl ---smiling!
我有一个梦想，每个人都有自己的梦想，当我还是一个孩子的时候，我的梦想是有一个我自己的糖果店，但现在，当我16岁，站在这里，我的梦想已经改变了很多。
我有不同于其他的女孩，当他们在家里玩玩具，而他们梦想成为公主的故事，我是跑在大雨，大雪中跳跃，在强风中投球。没有什么能阻止我，因为心底的呼唤——要成为一名运动员。是的，当然，我是一个运动员，我很自豪，所有的时间。
我10岁的时候，我成了一个铅球运动员的训练真的很难，我无法承受的沉重在我的手里。但我始终认为，“上帝只帮助那些帮助自己的人”。在那些艰苦的日子里，我觉得我是越来越快，比同年龄的人要成为一名运动员是我最正确的选择。但是，我放弃了我的球队进入高中后，因为一个愚蠢的'借口。我真的不想停止我的运动生涯吧。
今天，我告诉你们，我的朋友们，即使我必须面对昨天、今天和明天的困难，我仍然有一个梦想，它是一个深深扎根于我灵魂深处的梦想。
我有一个梦想，有一天，我可以跑，像我以前一样的跳跃和音调。
我有一个梦想，有一天，我可以回到我的梦想运动，并加入国家队。
我有一个梦想，有一天，我能站在奥运会的最高位置，所有的相机都指着我，我会告诉大家，我很自豪能成为一名中国运动员！
这是我的希望，这是我继续我的脚步的信念！！！
有了这个信念，我将生活虽然强风和大雨，永不放弃！
在我的想象中，我是一只鸟，一只神奇的鸟，我用我的大翅膀带着我的梦想。我飞虽然山，虽然森林，在海上，向太阳，在航空航天最温暖的地方！
每天晚上，我有一个梦想，我看到一个女孩---微笑！
