good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
we've gone from losing 9 million jobs during the financial crisis to creating 10 million jobs. we've reduced the unemployment rate from 10% in october of to 6.1% today. and for the first time since the 1990s, american manufacturing is steadily5 adding jobs-over 700,000 since . and surveys of both american and foreign business leaders confirm that america once again is viewed as the best place in the world to build and invest.
that's all good news.
but an awful lot of middle class americans are still not feeling the effects of this recovery. since the year , gross domestic product-our gdp - has risen by 25%. and productivity in america is up by 30%. but middle class wages during that same time period have gone up by only fourteen cents.
folks, it's long past time to cut the middle class back into the deal, so they can benefit from the economic growth they helped create. folks, there used to be a bargain in this country supported by democrats6 and republicans, business and labor7. the bargain was simple. if an employee contributed to the growth and profitability of the company, they got to share in the profits and the benefits as well. that's what built the middle class. it's time to restore the bargain, to deal the middle class back in. because, folks, when the middle class does well, everybody does well-the wealthy get wealthier and the poor have a way up.
you know, the middle class is not a number. it's a value set. it means being able to own your home; raise your children in a safe neighborhood; send them to a good school where if they do well they can qualify to go to college and if they get accepted you'd be able to find a way to be able to send them to college. and in the meantime, if your parents need help, being able to take care of them, and hope to put aside enough money so that your children will not have to take care of you.
that's the american dream. that's what this country was built on. and that's what we'redetermined8 to restore.
in order to do that, it's time to have a fair tax structure, one that values paychecks as much as unearned income and inherited wealth, to take some of the burden off of the middle class. it's time to close tax loopholes so we can reduce the deficit9, and invest in rebuilding america - our bridges, our ports, our highways, rails, providing good jobs.
with corporate10 profits at near record highs, we should encourage corporations to invest more in research and development and the salaries of their employees. it's time for us to invest in educational opportunity to guarantee that we have the most highly skilledworkforce11 in the world, for 6 out of every 10 jobs in the near term is going to require some education beyond high school. folks, it's long past due to increase the minimum wage that will lift millions of hardworking families out of poverty target poverty and in the process produce a ripple12 effect that boosts wages for the middle class and spurs economic growth for the united states of america. economists13 acknowledge that if we do these and other things, wages will go up and we'll increase the gross domestic product of the united states.
my fellow americans, we know how to do this. we've done it before. it's the way we used to do business and we can do it that way again. all the middle class in this country want is a chance. no guarantee, just a chance.
americans want to work. and when given a fair shot, the american worker has never, ever, ever, let his country down. folks, it's never a good bet to bet against the american people.
thanks for listening.
Good afternoon,ladies and gentlemen,
I’m Wang from Class x Grade x’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! Thank you.
Everybody wishes (hopes) to get money so that he can maintain his livelihood. In other words, money is so useful that it is impossible for mankind to live without it. For this reason, we have an interesting proverb. It says “Money can make the world go around.” In a word, money is more powerful than anything else.
However, money should not be wasted. It must be used for (some) proper purposes. We young men should form the good habit of not spending money in the wrong way.
每个人为了能够维持生活,所以都希望得到钱。换句话说,钱是非常有用,所以没有它人类即无法生活。基于此种理由,我们有一句有趣的谚语。它说有“钱能使鬼推磨”。一言以蔽之,钱比任何另外的'东西更有力量。
然而,钱不应该被浪费掉。它必须用于正当的用途上。我们青年人应该养成不乱花钱的好习惯。

When I was seven, my mother sent me to an English school.At there, I played games and sang English songs with other children .Then I discovered the beauty of the language, and began my colorful dream in the English world.

On the weekend, I often go to the English corner.By talking with different people there, I have made more and more friends as well as improved my oral English.
I hope I can travel around the world someday.I want to go to America to visit Washington Monument, because the president Washington is my idol.Of course, I want to go to London too, because England is where English language developed.If I can ride my bike in Cambridge university, I will be very happy.

虽然说工作中最经常使用的沟通工具是电话和邮件,但是,有的时候不方便打电话而且没办法查收邮件的时候,外企白领一般是用短信来沟通的。但是大家都知道,中文的短信比较容易发,但是如果你要给外籍同事或老板发短信的时候,就只能输英文了。所有人都对这件事情很头痛,的确太麻烦,要一个字母一个字母地输。下面是一些关于英文短信的技巧,不知道是否对需要跟老外沟通的白领们有所帮助。
1、text me!发我短消息!
用英文写短信的困难在于拼写,拼一个单词就可能花费你很长的一段时间。因此,现在许多人都通过缩短单词来加快拼写的速度。这样做节省了时间,但是如果不熟悉这些常用的.缩写规则,你就会感到很困惑。另外,书写简练短信的第一步就是掌握英文。
短信可分为两个基本部分:首字母缩写和缩略。
2、acronyms首字母缩写
首字母缩写是由每个单词的第一个字母组合而成的,比如un就是指united nations.短信里,首字母缩写常常被用在习惯用语中。另外,发声相似的词会被字母取代。请看一些例子:
oic- oh i see.
brb - be right back
bfn - bye for now
lol - laughing out loud
asap - as soon as possible
btw - by the way
fyi - for your information
jk - just kidding
ttyl - talk to you later
They say that when you die your life flashes before your eyes. Will you see any-thing other than a small black box in the corner of your room? What have you changed in th world? What will you leave behind? Or maybe you are surrounded by people all the time.duanwenw. You are the center of attention and everybody loves you. You go out with your friends, partying and having fun, but what about in the morning? You wake up with a severe headache and an upset stomach. What about your death? Do you think it was time to go? You could be the exact opposite. You may want pany, but for whatever reason not have it. Maybe you’re scared or shy. You go home, lock yourself in your room, and sink into anger. Are you an adventurer? Will your love of adventure lead to your end? You can never be quite sure when your heart and spirit will be broken. All your adventures will one day be forgotten and it will all have been for nothing.
Or maybe you played it safe your entire life. You outlived all those others, but what for? You never did anything great; you never made anything of yourself. You’re alone in all your security, but that worth it? You just took up space on th earth. They say that when you die, your life flashes before your eyes. What will you see?

I was one of the only kids in college who had a reason to go to the P.O. box at the end of the day, and that was mainly because my mother has never believed in email, in Facebook, in texting or cell phones in general. And so while other kids were BBM-ing their parents, I was literally waiting by the mailbox to get a letter from home to see how the weekend had gone, which was a little frustrating when Grandma was in the hospital, but I was just looking for some sort of scribble, some unkempt cursive from my mother.
And so when I moved to New York City after college and got completely sucker-punched in the face by depression, I did the only thing I could think of at the time. I wrote those same kinds of letters that my mother had written me for strangers, and tucked them all throughout the city, dozens and dozens of them. I left them everywhere, in cafes and in libraries, at the U.N., everywhere. I blogged about those letters and the days when they were necessary, and I posed a kind of crazy promise to the Internet: that if you asked me for a hand-written letter, I would write you one, no questions asked. Overnight, my inbox morphed into this harbor of heartbreak -- a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied in rural Kansas, all asking me, a 22-year-old girl who barely even knew her own coffee order, to write them a love letter and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox.
Well, today I fuel a global organization that is fueled by those trips to the mailbox, fueled by the ways in which we can harness social media like never before to write and mail strangers letters when they need them most, but most of all, fueled by crates of mail like this one, my trusty mail crate, filled with the scriptings of ordinary people, strangers writing letters to other strangers not because they're ever going to meet and laugh over a cup of coffee, but because they have found one another by way of letter-writing.
But, you know, the thing that always gets me about these letters is that most of them have been written by people that have never known themselves loved on a piece of paper. They could not tell you about the ink of their own love letters. They're the ones from my generation, the ones of us that have grown up into a world where everything is paperless, and where some of our best conversations have happened upon a screen. We have learned to diary our pain onto Facebook, and we speak swiftly in 140 characters or less.
But what if it's not about efficiency this time? I was on the subway yesterday with this mail crate, which is a conversation starter, let me tell you. If you ever need one, just carry one of these. (Laughter) And a man just stared at me, and he was like, "Well, why don't you use the Internet?" And I thought, "Well, sir, I am not a strategist, nor am I specialist. I am merely a storyteller." And so I could tell you about a woman whose husband has just come home from Afghanistan, and she is having a hard time unearthing this thing called conversation, and so she tucks love letters throughout the house as a way to say, "Come back to me. Find me when you can." Or a girl who decides that she is going to leave love letters around her campus in Dubuque, Iowa, only to find her efforts ripple-effected the next day when she walks out onto the quad and finds love letters hanging from the trees, tucked in the bushes and the benches. Or the man who decides that he is going to take his life, uses Facebook as a way to say goodbye to friends and family. Well, tonight he sleeps safely with a stack of letters just like this one tucked beneath his pillow, scripted by strangers who were there for him when.
These are the kinds of stories that convinced me that letter-writing will never again need to flip back her hair and talk about efficiency, because she is an art form now, all the parts of her, the signing, the scripting, the mailing, the doodles in the margins. The mere fact that somebody would even just sit down, pull out a piece of paper and think about someone the whole way through, with an intention that is so much harder to unearth when the browser is up and the iPhone is pinging and we've got six conversations rolling in at once, that is an art form that does not fall down to the Goliath of "get faster," no matter how many social networks we might join. We still clutch close these letters to our chest, to the words that speak louder than loud, when we turn pages into palettes to say the things that we have needed to say, the words that we have needed to write, to sisters and brothers and even to strangers, for far too long. Thank you. (Applause) (Applause)

青春 YouthYouth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not amatter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, aquality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of thedeep springs oflife.青春不是年华,而是心境;青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝,而是深沉的意志,恢宏的想象,炙热的恋情;青春是生命的深泉在涌流。Youth means atemperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite foradventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than aboy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old bydeserting ourideals.青春气贯长虹,勇锐盖过怯弱,进取压倒苟安。如此锐气,二十后生而有之,六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加,并非垂老,理想丢弃,方堕暮年。Yearsmay wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear,self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back todust.岁月悠悠,衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却,颓废必致灵魂。忧烦,惶恐,丧失自信,定使心灵扭曲,意气如灰。Whether 60 or 16, thereis in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite forwhat’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart andmy heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages ofbeauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as youareyoung.无论年届花甲,抑或二八芳龄,心中皆有生命之欢乐,奇迹之诱惑,孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线,只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号,你就青春永驻,风华常存。Whenyour aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and theice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerialsare up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at80.一旦天线下降,锐气便被冰雪覆盖,玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生,即使年方二十,实已垂垂老矣;然则只要树起天线,捕捉乐观信号,你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。
ladies and gentlemen:
it is a great honor for me to talk about the topic with you all, my dear friends!
as you all know, there is a flinty problem that many many fresh graduates can not find their jobs today. what is worse, it seems that we have few ways to sovle it. probably, some others would argue that why not let our ya go abroad since there are so many chances there? on second thoughts, should our government propose that we youth go abroad for job hunting? my answer is absolutely “ no”!
just think, my friends, why somebody suggest our fresh graduates go abroad? are our markets for job seekers really saturated ? are there really bags of jobs waiting for the jobless abroad? can the migration really put the axe in the helve? it is unlikely, in my opinion.
in some degree, it is a illusion thinking that there have been dead-alive on the labor market home. so many graduates say they can not find their jobs, so many parents worry about their young ones’ future, so many companies close the doors for job seeking…… how it just be a illusion ? do i have a bee in my head?
first ,we should make it clear that what kind of jobs that our graduates want to take, and where they want to work? it goes without saying, only jobs providing high salary in big cities, for instance beijing, can satisfy them. unfortunately ,that kind of jobs are limited. therefore, it is not that our graduates can not find jobs but that they can not find the fictive jobs , as a matter of fact. no matter how flourish and how actively a city is, it can provide numbered positions for the job seekers. what they want is perfect, but what they can gain in the end is another pair of shoes.
in fact, in the country, in the undeveloped places, more and more persons with ability are needed. however, there are no theatres, there are no cafes, there are no kfc, and there are supermarkets… as a result, no body like to work there.as we all know, developed countries
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.
Cupertino is very famous for Apple Computer. And we are very honor to have Steve Jobs to come here tonight to give us special presentation. Mr. Jobs?
苹果如今变得炙手可热Cupertino也沾光不少,今晚我们荣幸地邀请到乔布斯莅临现场。乔总?
Welcome, Mr Jobs: you have a fan club here..
欢迎你,这里貌似都是你的粉丝。
Thank you. Apple's grown like a weed, and as you know, we've always been in Cupertino. Started in an office par, eventually, got the buildings, we are in now the corner of the ends of 280.and those buildings hold maybe 2600 or 2800 people. But we've got almost 12,000 people in the area. So we're renting buildings - not very good buildings, either at an ever-greater radius from our campus and we're putting people in those. It is clear that we need to build new campus, so we just add space.
谢谢大 家。苹果如雨后春笋般快速发展着,而Cupertino一直是我们钟爱的土壤。从开始的工业园到现在的办公大楼280号公路尽头的拐弯处,这几栋楼能容纳 2600到2800名员工。可实际上我们的员工数量超过了120xx。不得已只能用租些差劲的写字楼给员工办公。所以我想把大家转移到离现有园区不远的一 片区域。我们将用新的园区来扩充办公面积。
That doesn't mean we don't need the one we got, we do need it, but we need another one to augment it. So we've got a plan that let's us stay in Cupertino. And we went out and we bought some land and this land is kind of special, to me. When I was 13, I think, I called up... Hewlett and Packard were my idols. And I called up Bill Hewlett, cause he lived in Palo Alto, and there were no unlisted numbers in the phone book, which gives you a clue to my age. And he picked up the phone and I talked to him and I asked him if he'd give me some spare parts for something I was building called a frequency counter. And he did, but in addition to that he gave me something way more important.
现有园区也会继续保留,新园区还在Cupertino,因为这里对我巨有意义。大小我就是惠普创始人 Hewlett和Packard的粉丝。Hewlett住在Palo Alto,13岁那年我给他打了个电话,年头所有的电话号码都印在大部头里,不好意思,暴露了我的年龄。我问他是否能送我些零件做频率计数器。
He gave a job that summer. A summer job at Hewlett-Packard, right here (on) in Santa Clara, off 280, the division that built frequency counters. And I was in heaven. Well, right around that exact moment in time, Hewlett and Packard themselves were walking on some property over here in Cupertino, in Pruneridge, and they ended up buying it. And they built their computer systems division there. And as Hewlett - Packard has been shrinking lately, they decided to sell that property and we bought it.
他不仅答应 了,还给了我一份工作。惠普的暑期实习,就在Snata Clara 280号公路旁边,我被分在计频器部门,简直像去了天堂。就在这个时候,惠普在Pruneridge买了块地,并在那里设立了计算机系统部。
We bought that and we bought some adjacent property that all used to be apricot trees, apricot orchards and we've got about 150 acres. And we should like to put a new campus on that so that we can stay in Cupertino. And we've come up - we've hired some great architects to work with, some of the best in the world, I think. And we've come up with a design that puts 12,000 people in one building.
最近惠普并不 景气,有意出售这块不动产,我们就买了下来。顺带还卖笑来原来的一片杏园,总面积有150英亩了。我想在哪儿建个新园区,继续留在Cupertino。我 们请来最优秀的设计师,希望设计一栋能容纳120xx人的大楼。
Think about that, that''s rather odd 12,000 people in a building, in one building. But, we've seen these office parks with lots of building and they get pretty boring pretty fast. So we'd like to do something better than that. And I'd like to take you through what we like to do. So this is supposed to work here. Here we go. Can you see this? So here is we are today, which is on Infinite Loop drive, against the intersection of D' Anza and the 280.
一栋楼装120xx人,是不是跟中国的学生宿舍一样不可思议?你们看过一些工业园区空间拥 挤、设计单调,我们希望改变这一切。给大家看看园区蓝图,看得见么?苹果总部就在这里280号公路和D' Anza十字路口的交汇处。
Mr Jobs, yeah, you drawn as print, that's high-tech we've. Use your finger. Just point in the air...
乔总,你可以用演示器,我们这儿也是有高科技的。
What we've done is we bought this land right here. We try to buy the apartments at the corner but they are not for sale, so we couldn't buy those. And we bought everything else. And the campus we like to build there is one building holds 12,000 people. And it is pretty amazing building. Let me show it to you. It's a little like a spaceship landed, there it is, and it's got this gorgeous courtyard in the middle, but a lot more. So let's take a close look at it. It's a circle.
我们买下这 块地,本来还想买这初拐角,可对方不卖,我们又不能强拆,所以只得放弃。我们打算在园区里建一栋楼,容纳120xx人。听起来很炫,看起来更炫。华丽吧! 像不像太空飞船?中间还有个大院子,还不止呢。让我们凑近了看,办公室的外观是个圆环。体形优美,造价不菲,所有的玻璃都是弧形的线条。我们建造苹果零售 店的经验派上用场了。
It's curved all the way around. If you build things, this is not the cheapest way to build something. There is not a straight piece of glass in this building. It's all curved. We've used our experience making retail buildings all over the world now, and we know how to make the biggest pieces of glass in the world for architectural use. We can make it curve all the way around the building. And you can see what it look like. It is pretty cool.
硕大的弧形玻璃难不倒我们。让玻璃墙绕场一周。是不是很酷。目前整个园区只有20%的绿化,浪费了不少地方。我们向来一次乾坤大挪 移。把停车场统统发配到地下,让绿化面积从20%暴增到80%。目的不言而喻,我们课不想像别的园区那样被人诟病。目前园区里有3800棵树,未来会翻一 倍。我们聘请斯坦福的.园林设计师来设计园区。
Again, today, about 20% of the space is landscaping, several big asphalt parking lots. So 20% of this is landscape, we want to completely change this. And we want to make 80% of landscape, and the way we're gonna do this is we're gonna put most of the parking underground. So we can have 80% of landscape, and you can see what we've in mind. I mean there is nothing like this in the property now. It's pretty bad. Today there are 3700 trees on the property we'd like to just almost double that. We've hired one of the senior arborists from Stanford actually who is very good with indigenous trees around this area. So we'd like to plant a lot of trees including some apricot orchards. Again you can see what it might be like. This is some of the infrastructure. The main building, we have parking underneath the main building.
除了杏树,还会种其他植物。这是建成后的样子。这是我们的主楼,设有地下停车场。可惜地下停车场不够用,所以 我们另设了一处停车点。新办公楼是一座四层圆形建筑,中间有一个大庭院。摩天大厦我不感冒,我喜欢矮建筑。保持和Cupertino现有建筑的高度一致。 我们的工作要对着电脑一刻不停的写程序,所以正常的工作离不开能源中心。要是没电,大家只能回家洗了睡。所以需要后备电源,能源中心将用天然气或其他绿色 能源发电。我们希望将其作为主要的电力来源,把国家电网用作后备电源。这里将修建一个大礼堂,我们就不用像昨天那样跑到旧金山去开会了。
That's not enough unfortunately. We have a parking structure here as well. The building's four stories high as is the parking structure. There's nothing high here at all. We want the whole place human scale. It's actually about the same as we have in Cupertino right now.. An energy center. We deal with - people using, sitting at computers all day writing software. And if the power goes out on the grid we get to send everybody home. So we have to have backup power to power the place in the event brownouts and stuff. And I think what we're gonna end up doing is making the energy center our primary source of power. Because we can generate power with Natural Gas and other ways that can be cleaner and cheaper and use the grid as our backup.
这里是健身中心和 研发大楼,这个地方专门用来做测试,里面木有员工。这就是我们的设想。苹果现有120xx员工,但可能增加到13000人。我们希望将其作为主要的电力来源,把国家电网用作后备电源。这里将修建一个大礼堂,我们就不用像昨天那样跑到旧金山去开会了。这里是健身中心和 研发大楼,这个地方专门用来做测试,里面木有员工。这就是我们的设想。苹果现有120xx员工,但可能增加到13000人。
We've got an auditorium because we put on presentations. Much like we did yesterday but we have to go to San Francisco to do them. Fitness center and some R&D facilities, these are just things that where we do testing and we need some buildings to test in and there's hardly any people in them. So this is roughly the kind of thing we're thinking about. We think about 12,000 people, I put 13,000 on the slides, just because we may make a little luckier than 12,000. We're up roughly 40% in people V.S. What the site has been used for already and we're increasing space to 3.1 million square feet. So 20% increase in space. The landscaping though increases by 350%, which is nice, trees by 60%. The surface parking goes down by 90%. And so I think the overall feeling of the place is gonna be zillion times better than it is now with all the asphalt. And the building footprint actually goes down by 30%. So, we wanna take the space and in many cases making it smaller. We're putting more of desirable things on the space and that's what we like to do. So just wanna give you a look at it. This is a cafe. We have cafe as our facilities. And this cafe will, you know, feed the better part of the 3,000 people sitting. That's what you need when you 12,000 people in the campus. So that's what we're looking at. I'd love to answer your questions if you have any.
将来这里可以多容纳40%的员 工,增加20%的使用面积,这样总面积大道了310万平方英尺。绿化面积增长350%,这个就厉害啦,植树量增长60%,地上停车面积减少90%。你会自 上这片土地的,这比一滴沥青给力多了。建筑占地面积将减少30%。减少建筑面积。这样有更多的空间留给想象力去发挥。这里是间咖啡厅,这个可以有,你懂 的。它能容纳3000人同时就餐。足足有120xx名员工在此贡献智慧,所以我们需要那么大的容量。我的介绍到此为止,有什么问题吗?
Life is not long, but many times choose, you have many choices come through today. Wait more than 60 days, you in turn to make a choice, but the choice is your life is very important, very crucial choice. The choice to a large extent directly related to your future direction in life, whether related to the future glory of life, and even the success of the big problems of life.
The last choice, because your young, largely by your parents or relatives to help you to make choices. Then the choice of their ability to help so you can create conditions to help you (for example, taking your difference, they can give you the money you read Choosing Health). Entrance options, but this largely depends on yourself decide the. Because: First, the difficulty of the selection bigger, some parents and relatives also lack guidance capability; second is the choice of policy, a more equitable, they may have money, but you also can not score enough money to help you. So many choices in this and future autonomy of the major is in your own hands.
Select certain subjective and objective conditions. The university entrance exam already created the objective conditions of choice. For example, the University has long been the face of the door here open for each student, you can enter with their conditions. Another example is that the state's admission policy is not directed against an individual, but against all the candidates this year, has been formed, you can only prepare the conditions required by policy to choose. Another example: you face the teachers and the teaching environment of objective factors in the last more than 60 days are basically constant. You can only adjust themselves to the further adaptation. Therefore, the objective conditions of your current studies, as if we can only face each generation has been formed as the productivity of conditions, can only be subjective on this basis up efforts to promote the development of the existing productive forces, not to complain about now have low productivity. This year's college entrance examination, you can only have been formed by the face of these subjective and objective conditions to efforts to improve their academic performance. Not to complain about the objective conditions than me.
In addition to other life choices, and many give up. But a lot of life to give up in order to better choices. You this time, the face of the university are beckoning to you, you can choose not to give up. Can also say: You give up a lot in the past, that is, to this choice. Example, Why did not you work outside the home? Why not stay at home farming? Why seeing your parents morning to evening, busy doing farming work, and even sick exertion in the field, and you share those concerns did not go home for their problem-solving, can you give up so they are not all for this time of choice?
Both gave up so much, they chose today, why not try to choose tomorrow? Beckon you do not choose to have this as another of the universities? There is the further purification of your soul, raise your quality, and increase your survivability, and improve your quality of life in the future to achieve greater value of life your furnace.
how to speak good english
ladies and gentlemen,
good morning. it’s my great honor to be here and i am very happy to see you all. thank you for being here. what i am going to talk about today is how to speak good english.
first of all, i’d like to talk about the importance of speaking good english and share my experience in learning english with you. as you know, english has become an international language. wherever you go, english is always commonly used. it is convenient to know the language. at the same time, english may be the most important factor in deciding which countries are leaders in the future. the language of the most advanced management and technology is undoubtedly english. being able to absorb this information is really the key to the new century. in the 21century. we can’t go there and speak our own language because nobody is going to learn it in order to understand us. our asian rival, india, has surged ahead of other developing countries in information technology because of its superior english skills. unless we are able to master english, we will not be able to get our population to use it and take advantage of the new economy. there is an urgent need to have a workforce which is proficient in the language in view of the information technology onslaught.
second, about learning english, i think laying a strong foundation is the first and most important step. in other words, you should read and speak english every day. memorizing new words and phrases is also helpful. of course, learning english takes some time, so don’t be impatient. remember, rome wasn’t built in a day. and then since english is not our native tongue, we must develop the muscles of your speech organs to produce unfamiliar sounds. when you read, read as loudly as possible, as clearly as possible and as quickly as possible. tongue muscles’ training is of importance in learning any foreign language.
third, if you want to speak good english, please don’t care how poorly well you speak, only care about catching the chances to speak. you must enjoy losing face; just forget about your face. the more you speak, the better your english will become. the more mistakes you make, the more.progress you will make. you must enjoy speaking poor english, because speaking is the only thing that will lead you towards success. don’t give up. just try your best. every time you move your mouth, your memory will deepen, your muscles will strengthen. you can make it.
i have made a considerable amount of public english speaking in my life. i am often asked why the crazy english method is better than other methods or if the crazy english method will help all english learners. my answer is: the method will help the english learners because it is a perfect match with the chinese principles of diligence, self-help and determination. mere exposure to english will not enable you to speak english. if you want to drive you have to get in the car and drive, if you want to dance you have to turn on the music and dance, if you want to swim you have to jump in the water and swim. in fact, swimming is the perfect comparison to learning english. you can’t learn to swim by sitting in a room and reading books about swimming skills. in order to be a swimmer, you’ve got to conquer you fear, you’ve got to survive and suck in water, yell for help, you’ve got to lose face many times before you can make it. but, to be a good swimmer you’ve got to practice again and again. to be a great swimmer you have to practice for years until you can harmonize every
part of your body and mind.
finally, i want to greet you and encourage you to seize this unique opportunity to conquer english and make lifelong friends from all over our college. as you know, we are human beings, not animals. we know what we want to do. we know our destiny is in our hands. with hard work and determination, we can do anything we set our mind to do. today, i will accompany you every minute on this unique journey. i want you to open your heart, i want you to be devoted, i want you to be crazy, i want you to forget about your face, i want to open your mouth wildly, i want you conquer your laziness and all the other human weaknesses, i want you to overcome all the obstacles that hold you back.
i want to share your joy and i want to share your struggle, but most important of all, i want to share your glory and victory. we are the future of china, the future of asian, and the future of the world. we desire to win, we must win, we will win, absolutely, definitely, and without any doubt! form a painfully shy boy who felt terrible about himself, who regarded himself as human trash, a born loser, to an internationally recognized english promoter, i made it. so i strongly believe that you will make it too. i have confidence in you.
i can't stand my poor english!
i want to improve my situation!
i don't want to let my parents down!
i don't ever want to let my country down!
most importantly, i don't want to let myself down!
i want to speak perfect english!
i want to understand all kinds of accents.
i want to write beautiful articles.
i want to read thousands of books.
i want to translate freely between chinese and english.
i want to be the master of the world's two most important languages: chinese and english.
please don't care how poorly or how well you speak, only care about catching the chances to speak!
enjoy losing face; just forget about your face.
the more you speak, the better your english will become.
the more mistakes you make, the more progress you will make.
you must enjoy speaking poor english, because it's the only thing that will lead you towards success.
every time you move your mouth, your memory will deepen, your muscles will strengthen. you can make it.
don't give up! just try your best!

Our new president Xi Jinping came up with the dream of the Chinese nation's rejuvenation on December 29, 2019. He said: the Chinese dream is a dream of national strength prosperity and people's happiness. Our people have an ardent love for life. They wish to have better education, more stable jobs, more income, greater social security , better medical and health care, improved housing conditions and better environment,They want their children to grow well, have ideal jobs and lead a more enjoyable life. To meet their desire for a happy life is our mission."
He also expounded his views of realizing our great dream. He said: To realize the dream, China must take the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The country must also foster the Chinese spirit,in which patriotism and the spirit of reform and innovation play a core role, and unite 1.3 billion people of all ethnicities into a great source of strength.
I always ask myself what can I do for our great Chinese dream ? As we all know that the wiser the youths are ,the wiser the nation will be;the wealthier the youths are ,the wealthier the nation will be;the stronger the youths are ,the stronger the nation will be. Here the word wealthy means: enriching our knowledge reserve. As a new generation of science, every one here shouldering the great historical mission of making china powerful and strong. You may say that this may exaggerate our role, but I want to say you are wrong. If I am a little screw our great dream may be a multifunction and complex machine. Through this example I just want to say I am very tiny but I am indispensable .
President Xi also said: We must make persistent efforts, press ahead with indomitable will, continue to push forward the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and strive to achieve the Chinese dream of great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.We are closer than in any other time of history to the goal of rejuvenating the Chinese nation. We are more confident and capable of achieving this goal than in any other period of history," “.””
I believe that as long as all of our university students unite together and perform our own functions that study hard in school and work hard after we graduating from university . we must be able to achieve our great dream meanwhile enrich ourselves unwittingly! lets us unite together to realize Chinese nation's great rejuvenation to struggle!
Everybody is good, the title of my speech today is "my dream"
Everyone have a dream, and is very good, I am no exception. I have a little dream, when I succeed at the goal, to accomplish more dreams. Beginning, I was a baby, a thought become very strong, like the children in the shaolin temple, martial arts high strength. But I think to leave my parents to far away places to practice martial arts, hard work, a little loathe to give up. During my childhood, I have a dream, I hope I have the money. Adults asked: "little girl, with money you are going to do?" "I'm going to buy bubble gum" "if you have a lot of money?" "I'm going to buy a lot of bubble gum" "if you have money to burn?" "I'll do buy bubblegum factory." Innocent childhood we, indeed, have a kind heart, happiness and happiness is a the same piece of music.
Slowly into the primary school, courses more and more deep, knowledge more and more... Will feel the pressure. Now I have a dream. I hope I don't have a lot of homework to do every day. Play a little deprived, and 40% of the day we imprisoned in the classroom, a lot of time in learning. But in the face of learning, is a kind of fuzzy knowledge. As the saying goes, "a rare confused," the understanding of things, from feudalism to capitalism, the greater the more feel that their views are right. After a busy day and night lessons every day home from school, he was sleepy and tired, no taste to eat food taken late at night. This life is very monotonous, maybe sometimes miss many of my primary school classmates, sometimes with a class or a pair of hazy sleep. Hate rigid school clothes, I never wear it everywhere. On Saturday, Sunday's time is very short, children really want to temper, slowly understand life's too hard, hard and dream ok, I will try to see everyone in to life and got up early to catch late, grasp myself no longer loose. I also want to strive for their dreams.
My speech finished, thank you!
Good morning everyone!
My name is Jie Lidi. Today, my topic is: “Confidence”. As we all know,failure is the mother of success. But What I want to say is that success is thechild of confidence. Without confidence, things can become negative anduncomfortable. I remember, during an English class, I wanted to make a sentenceusing the word "listen". I should have said: "I listen to the Voice of America"but I was too nervous and said "I listen to the Noise of America". Everybody inthe class laughed. Since then I wanted to train myself to be confident. Now,confidence makes me brave and courageous. Take this speech for example. I wantedto enter this competition, but I would feel very embarrassed if I made mistakes.Just then, I thought about my dream. My dream is to become a scientist when Igrow up. If I am not confident, how can I overcome difficulties I face? If I amnot confident, how can I succeed in developing myself in the future? I will doit! Today, I am making a speech in public and I feel proud and confident!
I am sure, in the future, with confidence, I will go forward-alwaysforward. Confidence will make my dreams come true!
Thank you!
! I will succeed!
大家早上好!在这里演讲是我的荣幸,我很高兴与你分享我的话题。那么今天我想谈谈哪个更重要,时间或金钱。有些人常说:"金钱比时间更重要。"他们认为如果人们有钱。他们可以买衣服,食物,饮料,房屋、汽车、电脑等等。但我不这么认为。
因为当时间走了,我们不能把它弄回来。但是我们可以继续赚更多的钱。
我们可以利用时间来赚钱。但是我们不能用金钱来获得时间。失去的财富也许被行业所取代。失去了知识的学习。失去的健康通过节制或药物恢复,但失去的时间一去不复返。
我不能浪费我的时间赚钱。所以我认为时间比金钱更重要。我们必须充分利用我们的时间去学习和工作。每一刻在历史上是一个短暂的时间,珍贵而独特。
学生,你热爱生命吗那么,别浪费时间,因为生命是由时间组成的。人生很长,如果你知道如何使用它。让我们节省我们的时间。
好的,谢谢你的倾听,仅此而已
a word that change the worldat the bottom of your heart, cry out freedom about 4700 years ago,our ancestor huangdi created a new nation, in eastern asia, from the qin unification to the revolution led by sun yat-sen in 1911,it has appeared a total of 83 chinese dynasties。 1949, i think it is a special year that the people could never forget。japan and germany have announced failure to the world. so i have questions.but in 5,000 years, what makes china change, in1945、what made the fascist failin the long time of the war,what supported the people to fight the dark。i think
the answer is a belief,a power which named freedom,freedom is a spiritual calledhope, is a free spirit called resistance. but today,i want to know what the meaning 。
it is for our young peopleeighty years ago, someone taught young: sacrificing your personal freedom is to seek free for your country! but then,a person mr hu shih had told them :fighting your personal freedom is the national freedom struggle!, fighting for yourfree personality, is the free for the country! but today, we have forget it。when we play basketball in the school yard,when we see a film at home, what do you think?, or“we are still young?”there is have more time if so,we have given up the chance to fight freedom for yourself。a film 《a brave heart》please fight for your dream, please order your ideals, and from the bottom of your heart , please cry out freedom.
good afternoon, everyone!
the topic of my speech today is “being a good listener”.
good listening can always show respect, promote understanding, and improve interpersonal relationship.
many people suggest that parents should listen more to their children, so they will understand them better, and find it easy to narrow the generation gap; teachers should listen more to their students, then they can meet their needs better, and place themselves in a good relationship with their students; students should listen more to their classmates, thus they will help and learn fr-om each other, and a friendship is likely to be formed.
what i want to stress is that each of us should listen more to others. show your respect and never stop others till they finish their talk; show you are interested by a supportive silence or a knowing smile; be open-minded to different opinions even though you don’t like them. in a word, good listening can really enable us to get closer to each other.
thank you for your listening!
There is a saying goes,"life without a friend is a life without a sun",that isTo say,Friendship is indispensable to people's life. Friendship is to our life what salt is to dasher. When you are happy, friendship is just like adding flowers on the brocade; when you are sad, friendship is a dose of consolation; if you are in trouble, friends will surround you and remove the barriers for you; if you have a hard nut to crack, you can turn to friends for help. Every one need friends, and if you fail to make friends, you should examine yourself and see if there is something wrong with your personality. Maybe you have social faults such snobbishness, talkativeness and using slang etc. All of that will drive your new acquaintances. Whatever your social faults may be, look at them honestly and make real effort to correct them. However, what’s actual difficult is that friendship is easier made than e are several important elements necessary to maintain a good friendship. Listen ability to really listen to another is a cornerstone of good helps you to understand your friend and his/her feelings,as well as shows that you really care. Spend quality time with your friend relationship can be satisfying without quality time spend time for your friend,schedule get together. Be forgiving. There is not even one person in the world who is know your own shortcomings,so don't expect perfection from others.I'm not saying that you should always accept a wrong doing on your friend's them when you didn't like something and be always ready to make up 't hold grudges in your will help your friend to be long-suffering with you as well.
Admit your faults every friendship there will be conflict sooner or it comes,often the wrong is on both sides Admit your wrongs instead of just pointing out the wrongs of another person will help you both to keep the line of communication open and strengthen your friendship In short, when we have established friendship, we ought to cherish and treasure it by means of words and deeds. Only thus, can we develop real friendship and keep the sacred lamp of friendship burning all our life.
Thank you!
Parents love, is the light in the dark, let my heart no longer lonely.

Students, let us Thanksgiving parents! With a grateful heart to treat parents, with a sincere heart and parents exchange. They are great enough to bring us into this beautiful world, and they raise us as adults, giving us nothing in return. Be grateful for what your parents have given you.
Thank you!

Ladies and Gentlemen: My topic is Honesty. As a correspondent of the Qingdao Morning News, I visited Dr. James Gilman, the President of the International Committee for Marco Polo Studies in England. In this picture, this is James, and this is me and we are looking at a dragon’s tooth. This is a true story. /chuzhong/chusan/ 65 years ago, James lived in Qingdao. Then he was only 5 years old. He often visited the Aquarium and was fascinated by a creature on display there, which he thought was a dragon. He was afraid of its sharp teeth and wanted one to keep as a treasure. In the late 1930s, when the Japanese occupied Qingdao, his family had to leave. On his last day in Qingdao, he ran to the Aquarium and pulled out one of the teeth from the dragon’s mouth. He kept the tooth for the next 65 years, but the feeling of guilt at having stolen it was there in the background all through his life. It was always on his conscience, and the feeling intensified as he became older. Finally he decided to put right his childish error. In 20xx, he visited Qingdao and returned it to the Aquarium with his sincere apologies. He received a warm welcome. When James visited Qingdao, I accompanied him all the time and reported on his visit. I was deeply touched by his honesty. It has taught me a lot. I think to err is human. The important thing is to have the courage to admit and correct one’s error. Honesty is a vital quality of human behaviour. So we should try to keep an honest mind in everything we say and do. I would like to say to all of my friends: Let’s be honest people of good moral character. Thank you.
