ladies and gentlemen， boys and girls，
i am chinese. i am proud of being a chinese with five thousand years of civilization behind. i‘ve learned about the four great inventions made by our forefathers. i‘ve learned about the great wall and the yangtze river. i‘ve learned about zhang heng and i‘ve learned about zheng says the yellow river civilization has vanished？i know that my ancestors have made miracles on this fertile land and we‘re still making miracles. who can ignore the fact that we have established ourselves as a great state in the world， that we have devised our own nuclear weapons， that we have successfully sent our satellites into space， and that our gnp ranks no. 7 in the world？ we have experienced the plunders by other nations， and we have experienced the war. yet， based on such ruins， there still stands our nation----china， unyielding and unconquerable！
i once came across an american tourist. she said， ―china has a history of five thousand years， but the us only has a history of 200 years. five thousand years ago， china took the lead in the world， and now it is the us that is leading.‖ my heart was deeply touched by these words. it is true that we‘re still a developing nation， but it doesn‘t mean that we can despise ourselves. we have such a long-standing history， we have such abundant resources， we have such intelligent and diligent people， and we have enough to be proud of. we have
reasons to say proudly： we are sure to take the lead in the world in the future again， for our problems are big， but our ambition is even bigger， our challenges are great， but our will is even greater.
i am chinese. i have inherited black hair and black eyes. i have inherited the virtues of my ancestors. i have also taken over responsibility. i am sure， that wherever i go， whatever i do， i shall never forget that i am chinese！
I can never forget the summer in 1996. I went through an extremity of despair due to my failure in the National College Entrance Examination. It seemed that my dream of being a university student would never come true. One evening my father came and told me the story of Steven Callahan, who was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank. It was a miracle that he survived and was found 76 days later(the longest anyone has survived a shipwreck on a life raft alone). Later in his narrative he wrote these sentences “I tell myself I can handle it .Compared to what others have been through I’m fortunate”.
Hearing these sentences I felt something important struck me. I belived my life would mot be that bad and it was proved to be true. Later during my study in the university I always told myself “I can handle it” when my own goals seemed far off or when my problems seemed too overwhelming and every time I said it ,I always came back to my senses.
, I will tell the same story of Callahan to them. I just want to make them believe they can handle their difficulties because their circumstances are only bad compared to something better. But others have been through much worse. Then they will build up fortitude.
So here, coming to us from the extreme edge of survival, are words that can give us strength. Whatever you’re going through, tell yourself you can handle it. Compared to what others have been through, you’re fortunate. Tell this to yourself over and over, and it will help you get through the rough spots with little more fortitude.
As two men were about to be sent into prison, the warden let each of them make a demand. The American loved smoking, so he wanted three boxes of cigars; while the Jew said all he needed was a telephone to contact with people outside of the prison. Two years later, the first out was the American who still had many cigars in his hands and pockets but was crying: “Give me some matches!” Then the Jew walked out, he shook hands with the warden and said: “Thank you for the phone, it made my business increase by 200%.”
What do you think of this story? Life today is what you’ve decided years ago, and so is the future: your decisions today will affect your destiny years later. Now I have two things to choose from: to go abroad, to find myself a decent job after graduation or to further my study as a postgraduate. I haven’t worked out an answer to this question yet, but I know that whatever I do will directly affect my future.
An Indian once said life is just like a game of cards, the cards in your hand represent opportunities, while the way you play decides the result you’ll get. Looking back in history, during World War Ⅱ, Churchill who led the British people resolved to expect “blood, toil, tears and sweat”. They won the victory then. Today Shenzhou 5 took the first Chinese astronaut into space. I am sure that later there’ll be more spacecrafts, like Shenzhou 6,7 and 8 ……
So what does the future look like? No one can tell. But I know the choice is yours, the future is now. Make good use of everyday, a man can achieve greater successes, a country can gain prosperity and the whole world can be united, as it has never been before.

most people would like to be popular with others， but not everyone can achieve this goal. what is the secret to popularity？ in fact， it is very simple. the first step is to improve our appearance. we should always make sure that we stay in good shape and dress well. when we are healthy and well-groomed， we will not only look better but also feel better. in addition， we should smile and appear friendly. after all， our facial expression is an important part of our appearance. if we can do this， people will be attracted to our good looks and impressed by our confidence.
another important step is developing more consideration for others. we should always put others first and place their interests before our own. it＇s also important to be good listeners； in this way people will feel comfortable enough to confide in us. however， no matter what we do， we must not gossip. above all， we must remember to be ourselves， not phonies. only by being sincere and respectful of others can we earn their respect. if we can do all of the above， i am sure popularity will come our way.
