many things in this world find neither an answer nor a proper explanation. for example, why should two become a couple among the billions of people on earth? why don't they love each other even though they live together everyday, and yet one of them falls in love with someone else at the first sight?
people remain puzzled in spite of their great effort to understand the endless questions, so they invented the all-embracing word “predestination”. have you heard about the sayings like: “predestination will definitely bring you together despite the great distance while without predestination, you’ll never know each other even though you are standing face to face.”
in fact, the so-called “predestination” is often a kind of coincidence, even a kind of accident. does anyone know anything about his previous life or his after life? what could he do even if he knew them? giving up today is the same as giving up tomorrow.
predestination needs us to strive for; friendship needs us to maintain; good will needs us to treasure and future needs us to create. (there is no savior, nor goddess of mercy who once saved people in the past but cannot do anything to help the people at the present.)
(predestination is a lovely word which we should treasure and respect.) in the present world, we should always follow the win-win or multi-win policy, instead of being single-handed. we might as well call the communication, the cooperation, the common concerns and the common aspirations of human beings “predestination”e's question: do you believe predestination in your future?
answers: thank you for your questions. to be honest, although i deeply know that there is no goddess of mercy who once saved people in the past but cannot do anything to help people at the present, sometimes i still believe predestination is truly exist, and i always add some colurs of emotions. it does not mean that i’m not respect science. talking about predestination, it's just a kind of explanation about what
has happened. so the most important thing we should do is to strive for and treasure predestination, then spare our no efford to work together.
Fashions go in and out. This season for girls and women is a variety of things. First on the list is nautical. For instance, a striped blue and white dress with brass buttons. Next, humongous belts over dresses and things looks fabulous. Always go to the extreme, either get a huge tote bag, or a tiny purse. Stilettos are out, and chunky heels are in. Try to layer your outfits like put a skirt over pants, dresses over jeans, and even try Bermuda shorts over pants. This is useful when a dress gets too short, just stick jeans underneath, and you’ll look great. The Napoleonic style is in. Clothes that would have been worn in Napoleons time: navy coats with gold trimmings and brass buttons.
If you are going to wear your everyday clothes, like pants and a t-shirt, be very careful to wear what matches your look. If you have red hair, unless it is Valentine’s Day,
Additional Details
avoid anything related to red such as pink. You will look like a walking valentine.
Aside from matching you, your clothes must match each other. If you wanted to wear a pink shirt with white on it, an adorable choice for a sweater would be a white jacket. Suppose, you wore a white shirt with pink on it, you shouldn’t wear the white sweater. Instead, wear a pink sweater. Also, if you wear this shirt and wanted to wear a headband that was pink but a slightly different shade of pink with it- that is a fashion don’t. Never wear denim on denim. That is to wear a denim jacket with a denim skirt or jeans. Especially if the denim is two different shades. You may think similarity is a good thing, but in some cases its not. Dark green with light green is fine-light blue with dark blue is fine too. But, they must be correct shades. A pink with a slight orange tinge is not good with plain pink. Never wear brown and black together. Black looks good with lots of things-just not brown.
Be in touch
with your seasons and holidays. Unless it is the Fourth of July, or some patriotic holiday, avoid wearing red, white, and blue. Unless it is around Christmas time, don’t wear red and green. During winter, light blue looks good, and so does white and beige. During spring, green, yellow and cheerful colors look best. Fall is the time for solemn colors like dark red, brown, and black. Summer is the cheery red, orange and plain cool and crisp white.
Types of clothes are also important. A long-sleeved shirt with shorts is never ok, but a short-sleeved shirt with shorts or pants is ok. No socks with sandals even if its toe socks. Clothes are fabulous things for girls to fuss over and spend hours deciding what to wear. Let’s try our best to make them look great.

Dear teacher and classmates:
I am very glad to make a speech here in this class again! This time, I'd liketo talk something about English.
I love English. English language is now used everywhere in the world. It hasbecome the most common language on Internet and for international trade.Learning English makes me confident and brings me great pleasure.
When I was seven, my mother sent me to an English school. At there, I playedgames and sang English songs with other children . Then I discovered the beautyof the language, and began my colorful dream in the English world.
Everyday, I read English following the tapes. Sometimes, I watch Englishcartoons.
On the weekend, I often go to the English corner. By talking with differentpeople there, I have made more and more friends as well as improved my oralEnglish.
I hope I can travel around the world someday. I want to go to America tovisit Washington Monument, because the president Washington is my idol. Ofcourse, I want to go to London too, because England is where English languagedeveloped. If I can ride my bike in Cambridge university, I will be veryhappy.
I hope I can speak English with everyone in the world. I'll introduce Chinato them, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and Anshan. I know, Rome wasnot built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I canspeak English very well.
If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So Ibelieve as I love English everyday , it will love me too.
On earth, except human beings, what else? Yes, there are animal. But afterseveral years, animal numbers decreased gradually. Human beings have no regardanimal as a friend?
Animal and human should be good friends, but why animal and human enemies? Isbecause people don't send in the eyes of the animal. Such as the cow. With cowdairy production such as human, cow milk can not time, humans will put the cowto brutally kill. Cow's milk, will not be released? The cow is also a vivid lifeah! In recent years the "plague, AIDS, mad cow disease, avian flu", these are aharbinger of animal who respond! The meeting has also had the third world war?Our ancestors is an animal! If human beings don't stop this killing the animalbehavior, is the mother of our area heavy blow ah!
Home we don't damage animal now, so they can feel at ease to animalreproduction. Animal friends, also have a piece of blue sky, let the bird flyfreely; to the animal a piece of green grass, let the cattle and sheep runningmerrily; also a world of waters animal, allow the animal to be light of heartfrom care to swim in the ocean. Perhaps, this can soothe animal were woundedsoul. Animal originally bad, but human destruction of their homes, these arejust their effects on human "revenge".
Friends, let us work together to protect animal!

Good morning,ladies and gentleman. I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech.Today my topic is “The older I grow,the more I learn”. I hope you will like it. ,
How times flies! After saying goodbye to my happy primary school life,I become a junior school student.I know there`s always so much work to do and also much trouble I have to face.
In school,I have to take a lot of lessons.Some are interesting while some are boring.But it's the responsibility of the students to leam them all well. I have to try my best to finish it.During my growing time,a lot of trouble worried me.That's awful and makes me blue.
Although I met with a lot of failure, I still have a lot of gains.I can make a priceless freiendship. I can leam a large number of usful things,such as being kind,friendly to others, being confident and independent and so on. I think growing pains and gains are coutless.But they actually play an important role in my life and make my life colourful.
As a junior student , I should have a firme aim to study hard . My goal is to enter the best university for further study after middle school . I know it’s a hard work , and I ’ll come across many difficulties and frustrations . But no matter what they are , I’ll keep working on it and never give up . My teacher says there ’s only one kind of people that are truly successful : those who are brave enough to put up with hardships . Even if I won’t achieve the goal , I have no regrets for what I have done , for I have struggled for my goals.
So much for the speech,thanks for you listening.
Although I am not a shape student in my class and I am not as
popular as my best friend . But I'm feeling happy enough now.Beacuse I have a loving family, many good friends and a warm class. More important is ,I'm living in the world . The world is so beautiful that make me feel I am
so lucky! We are growing like many flowers that we must keep our life and hard working .We all have a bight future. So we are happiness and happy!
This is not an easy growth, pain and sufferings, is not bad, we know that, when reality cannot change, we shall timely change, but we have always loved with real bargain, because we love the world, the happiness and warmth and love and pain of the world.
we learned to smile, to appreciate beauty of it. Because we know that just graciously turned, can find new and beautiful scenery.
In the growth of the road is often lonely, to learn in no one's time to give ourselves. Don't worry, fear brave, frankly, facing the growth of everything for yourself in the faith, encouragement, give yourself to yourself. In the growth of the journey, we need is calm, quiet, bravely facing.
Good afternoon,ladies and gentlemen，
I’m Wang from Class*Grade*.It’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 school.The buildings are new and the walls are covered with wild roses that dazzle theeyes in the bee-humming air. I’ve thought of it often.How 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 moments.They have always given me alittle more than I asked for and instilled in me the values and principles that govern my life now.It’s the teachers’ instruction here that tells me the art of living is to know when to hold fast and when to let go.The 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 difficulties.They have always been optimistic and humorous.When my feet hurt,they all cared about me and some of them offered to help me up and down stairs.We play together,we learn together and we grow up together.It’s the help between our classmates that tells me how to love my life.However mean life is ,meet it and live it.It’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.
good morning, my fellow students. i am very glad to give you a speech about stress.psychologist tell us that stress is a state of worry caused by the problem of living , such as too much work or study , heavy responsibilities , and quickened pace of life .statistics show that stress es from every detail in our life. financial problems, poor health, being laid off, may be the stress that most adults now suffering. as students in the university, we are also under our special stress. such as passing the college english test band four. and the things make us felt stressed may be our parent’s greater expectations on us that we could not reach. later, when we are likely to graduate, some other problems will also annoy us. as i see it, we will worry a lot about our ability to pete in the job market and how to use what we’ve learned at college in our future job. the chief problem we should face to is our attitude towards stress .people usually says they cannot live in the sun except they escape from stress. it is unwele! yes, however .just image a world where stress does not exist and people lead their life in a very fortable way. but is this kind of living condition as perfect as we hope? no. without stress, we may feel very satisfied with the current life but lack of interesting to discover new things .too much stress result in nothing except a countermarch of the society. no stress, no development. so a certain amount of stress is right and necessary.
it is a fact that stress really exists in the word. how to do with ourselves when stress suddenly breaks into our life? wave the white flag, give up, or just want to suicide as to put an end to everything … of cause not. we should try our best to release ourselves, such as to do sports, to take a rest and to learn to view these changes of life as challenges .it’s no use crying over spilt milk. only to accept what has happened can solve the problem.
well, i have to say i was under large stress three minutes before, but now i am here and have finished my speech. here is the last thing i want to add to my topic, face to it and overe it. stress is also a piece of cake ~~~~~~

The secretary-general about Chinese dream deep, for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation Chinese dream summon powerful spiritual energy.
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Today I would like to begin with a story.
There was once a physical 1) therapist who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a 2) census about mountain 3) gorillas. These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world; this put them severely under threat of 4) poaching and being put into the zoo. She went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures. She witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we've ever been, where in the very depth of the African rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas 5) cuddled their babies.
Yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called Gorillas in the Mist, based on a true story of Mrs. Dian Fossey, who spent most of bet lifetime in Rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.
To me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a 6) timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our ecoenvironment.
Today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems. On the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go. It has become a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in GDP growth. It has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity. But on the other hand, many problems can occur---natural scenes aren't natural anymore. Deforestation to heat lodges is devastating Nepal. Oil spills from tourist boats are polluting Antarctica. Tribal people are forsaking their native music and dress to listen to U2 on Walkman and wear Nike and Reeboks.
All these 7) appalling(令人震惊的) facts have brought us to the realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been 8) eroding(侵蚀) our resources.
Encouragingly, the explosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the United Nations has made 20xx the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the world's attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our ecoenvironment.
Now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection organizations an: receiving donations--big notes, small notes or even coins--from housewives, 9) plumbers(水管工人), ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and 10) invalids(残疾人), Some of them can not afford to send the money but they do. These are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood. Why? Because they care. Because they still want their Mother Nature back. Because they know it still belongs to them.
This kind of feeling that I have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it, it's all coming from a scene to remember, a scene to recall and to cherish.
The other night, as l saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs. I found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to some- thing else, someplace else. a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seem to have been except the deer.
And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's lime for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation. Once again, I have come to think of Mrs. Dian Fossey be- cause it's with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.
And no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our mind, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.
Thank you very much.
Thanks,contestan18.Thetopic for your impromptu speech is:Which is more important for you: knowledge from books or personal experience? Answer: Thank you. I remember, on my very first day of my beloved university, one of my professors said to me,“From now on, you’ll be on a journey between who you think you are and who yo can be.The key is to allow yourself to continue the journey in the ocean of the books.”And I do learn a lot from books: I know the geometry of Euclid, logic of
Aristotle, fable of Aesop known to children around the world. Well, no offense to all those great authors of the books, but during my three years at my university, I do realize that personal experience through practice means more to me. As we are in this global information age where both economic growth and individual opportunity are based on ideas, a commitment to providing all human beings the golden opportunity to develop themselves is so vital, not only to the people here, but all around. As we are in this transformational age where communications and commerce are global, investments are mobile, technology is almost magical, and the ambition for a better life is now universal, and I think this is why we are here today. We want to earn our personal experience through practicing our oral English, sharing our opinions of tourism and ecology with all the judges and audience here. And I think we are so lucky to be alive at this moment of the history. Never before have our nation enjoyed so much prospertity and so much social progress with so little internal crises.And never before have our young people had so much great opportunity to practice ourselves and, therefore, have a profound obligation to build a more perfect nation of our ancestor’s dream. And I think our government had provided us young people with the tools and condition to build the future of our dreams. Even if we know some rules, some regulations, or experiences from our books, we still simply cannot graft it onto today’s busier, more impersonal,complicated world. Instead, our challenges is to arrive at a consensus values and common vision of what we can do today individually andcollectively to build a strong family and strong community, and above all, make the world a better place for us to live. Thank you very much. Contestan18,in your speech, you talked about ecotourism. Could you explain to us difference between ordinary tourists and e-tourists, or ecotourists?
Answer: Thank you for your question. And I think the key issue is the differences between our awareness. Fot example, if you want to go to a place to have a trip, enjoy your trip. And I think before you get on board, get on the bus, you can have the awareness that “I’m not a polluter, but an environment keeper.” We’re not go to all those scenic spots to estroy all those beautiful scenes but we to appreciate the Mother Nature giving us so much things. Thank you very much.
Contestant18,nowthat information technology is becoming more and more accessible to people in China, do you think books will become less and less important?
Answer: Well, I think, maybe, umm, I don’t think that all those echnologies can replace the importance of books. We’re in our modern village where so many new industries—IT industries, tourism ndustries—crop up every day and this brave new world seem a little bit dehumanizing and inhospitable to a lot of people.The world can no longer be defined as a place on a map or list or people in organizations but I think the true value, the essence of our village remains the same.It is the network of values relationship that support our lives and we can learn those things from our books because books is the very first beginning stage of what we learn. Thank you very much.
I’d like to ask you a question about your prepared speech,please. You mention that the UN has declated the year 20xx, I think it was, “The Year of Ecotourism.” Do you think that such gestures really serve a purpose? Answer: And I think one of my teachers said to me, when I prepared my prepared speech, and he tells me that if we pay more attention to omething like environmental protection or ecotourism, it is more, it is better for us to bear in mind we should learn something in our hearts, we should have something about the awareness about how to pay more respect to our environment, not to talk about something orally but to bear something in our hearts. Follow our hearts, our environment can be better.Thank you very much.
How to Be Popular
Most people would like to be popular with others, but not everyone can achieve this goal. What is the secret to popularityIn 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.
如何才能受人欢迎
大部分的人都想受人欢迎，但是并非每个人都能达到目标。受欢迎的秘诀何在事实上是很简单的。步骤一，先改善我们的外表。我们得确保自己很健康，并且穿着体面。当我们既健康又穿戴整齐时，不仅看起来更有精神，自己也会觉得好多了。此外，我们要保持微笑并表现得很友善。毕竟，脸部表情是外观很重要的一环。如果我们能做到这一点，别人会被我们的美好外表所吸引，并对我们的自信印象深刻。
另一个重要步骤，就是培养对别人的体贴。永远以他人为重，并把别人的利益放在自己的利益之前。当个好听众也是很重要的;如此一来，别人才能很自在地对我们吐露心事。然而，不管我们做什么事，绝对不要说闲言闲语。最重要的是，要做自己，不要当虚伪的人。只有对人真诚又尊重时，才能赢得他人的尊敬。如果我们能做到以上几点，我相信受人欢迎是指日可待的事。
Learn How to Say No
We've all been taught that we should help people. It is the right thing to do and will make us popular with others. It may even win us favors in return. However, we must be realistic. We can't say yes to every request. If we did, we would fail or go crazy for sure. Sometimes we simply don't have the time to help. In this case, we must know how to say no politely.
When we need to say no, here is one method we can try. First, we should tell the truth. If we really can't do something, we should just say so. Second, we should remember to refuse requests politely. We must communicate clearly, but must also be sincere and sympathetic. A true friend will understand. Finally, we must not feel guilty about saying no. Sometimes refusing others is the right thing to do. It can save ourselves, and them, a lot of trouble. In short, we cannot please everyone all the time. Refusing favors is a part of life.
学习如何说不
我们都被教导说，我们应该要帮助别人。这是应该做的事，而且这样做会使我们受人欢迎。它甚至会为我们赢得一些回报。但是，我们必须要实际一点。我们不能答应每一个要求。如果我们这么做，我们就一定会失败或发疯。有时候我们确实没有时间去帮忙。既然如此，我们就必须知道如何有礼貌地说不。
当我们需要说不的时候，有个办法我们可以试试。首先，我们应该要说实话。假如我们真的办不到某件事，我们就应该说不。第二，我们应该记得要客气地拒绝对方的要求。我们必须清楚地表达，但态度也必须真诚并且表示同情。一个真正的朋友会谅解的。最后，我们不必为了说不而觉得有罪恶感。有时候拒绝别人才是我们应该做的事。它可以替我们自己和
别人，都省下许多麻烦。总而言之，我们无法一直取悦每个人。拒绝请求是人生的一部分。 How to Sell Yourself
In this competitive society it is essential to know how to sell yourself in order to get the job you want. That means you must be able to market your best features and present yourself in the best light. After all, you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
There are several things you can do to project a good image in an interview. First of all, look like a winner. Dress conservatively and well, and you'll look like you're going to the top. Second, communicate clearly. Consider each question carefully and respond with total honesty. Remember to make eye contact and maintain good posture. You need to look attentive but also at ease. Third, have a positive and assertive attitude. It's important to appear confident of your ability and optimistic about your future. Finally, be prepared. Present a professional resume and be ready to explain everything in detail.
By following the advice above, you are bound to make a good impression on potential employers. Then you will be able to choose
the best opportunity for you and take that first step towards success.
如何自我推销
在这个竞争激烈的社会中，为了得到你想要的工作，知道如何自我推销是很重要的。也就是说，你必须能够销售你最好的特点，并把你最好的一面呈现出来。毕竟，第一印象定江山。
要在面试时表现出好的一面，你可以做几件事情。首先，要看起来像个赢家。穿着保守而体面，会使你看起来像是就要成功了。第二，要能清楚地表达。仔细地考虑每个问题，并据实回答。记得要和对方有目光接触，并保持良好的姿势。你必须看起来专注而自在。第三，态度要积极而有自信。对你的能力有信心，并对你的未来感到乐观是很重要的。最后，要充分准备。递上一份专业的简历，并准备好详细解释每件事。
遵照以上的建议，你就一定会给可能成为你老板的那些人，留下好的印象。然后你就可以选择对你而言最好的机会。并踏出迈向成功的第一步。
Responsibility is a Badge of Honour for Youth
(96年“21世纪杯全国大学生英语演讲比赛”二等奖获得者，北京外国语大学 徐义成)
Facing this audience on the stage, I have the exciting feeling of participating in the march of history, for what we are facing today is more than a mere competition or contest. It is an assembly of some of China's most talented and motivated people, representatives of a younger generation that are preparing themselves for the coming of a new century.
I'm grateful that I've been given this opportunity, at such a historic moment, to stand here as a spokesman of my generation and to take a serious look back at the past 15 years, a crucial period for every one of us and for this nation as well.
Though it is only within my power to tell about my personal experience, and only a tiny fragment of it at that, it still represents, I believe, the root of a spirit which has been essential to me and to all the people bred by the past 15 years.
In my elementary years, there was a little girl in the class who worked very hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons.
The teacher asked me to help her, and it was obvious that she expected a lot from me. but as a young boy, restless, thoughtless, I always tried to evade her so as to get more time to enjoy myself. One day before the final exam, she came up to me and said, "Could you please explain this to meI want very much to do better this time. " I started explaining, and finished in a hurry.
Pretending not to notice her still confused eyes, I ran off quickly. Nat surprisingly, she again did very badly in the exam. And two months later, at the beginning of the new semester, word came of her death of blood cancer. No one ever knew about the little task I failed to fulfill, but I couldn't forgive myself. I simply couldn't forget her eyes, which seem to be asking, "Why didn't you do a little more to help me, when it was so easy for youWhy didn't you understand a little better the trust placed in you, so that I would not have to leave this world in such pain and regret"
I was about eight or nine years old at that time, but in a way it was the very starting point of my life, for I began to understand the word "responsibility" and to learn to always do my duties faithfully and devotedly, for the implications of that sacred word has dawned on me: the mutual need and trust of people, the co-operation and inter-reliance which are the very foundation of human society.
Later in my life, I continued to experience many failures. But never again did I feel that regret which struck me at the death of the girl, for it makes my heart satisfied to think that I have always done everything in my power to fulfill my responsibilities as best I can.
As I grew up, changed and improved by this incident and many other similar ones, I began to perceive the changes taking place around me and to find that society, in a way, was in its formative years like myself. New buildings, new commodities and new fashions appear every day.
New ideas, new information, new technologies. People can talk with each other from any corner of the earth in a matter of seconds. Society is becoming more competitive.
Words like individuality and creativity are getting more emphasis and more people are rewarded for their hard work and efforts. Such is the era in which this generation ,grows and matures.
Such is the era in which this generation will take over the nation from our fathers and learn to run it. Yet in the meantime, many problems still exist.
We learn that crimes take place in broad daylight with crowds of people looking on and not assisting. We hear that there are still about 1 million children in this country who can't even afford to go to elementary schools while enormous sums of money are being squandered away on dinner parties and luxury cars.
We buy shoddy medicines, or merely worthless junk in the name of medicines, that aggravate, rather than alleviate our diseases since money, many people believe, is the most important thing in the world that must be made, even at the expense of morality and responsibility.
Such an era, therefore, determines that we are a generation with a keener sense of competition and efficiency and a greater readiness to think critically and act creatively.
Such an era, furthermore, demands, that we are a generation with a clear perception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive will to take action and solve the problems. History has long been preparing these qualities in this generation and it is now calling us forward to give testimony to our patriotism and heroism towards this nation and all humanity.
Standing here now, I think of the past 15 years of my life as an ordinary student. Probably I'll be an ordinary man for the rest of my life. But this doesn't discourage me any, for I know that with my sense of responsibility and devoted efforts to always strive, for the best, it's going to be a meaningful and worthwhile life that I will be living.
Standing here now, I think of the past 15 years of this nation, which has achieved greatness that inspired millions of people of my age, most of whom will not attain fame or prestige and only a few of whom will be remembered by posterity. But that doesn't discourage us any, because we
know that the world watches, the world listens, the world is waiting to see where this nation will be heading in a time of rich opportunities and fierce competition.
I can't ever forget that little girl in my class who couldn't had the same opportunities as any of us here to enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopeful world tomorrow.
It is the sacred responsibility of this generation to face up to the challenges of the new century and to devote our sweat and blood, our wisdom and passion, to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier land for every one of us.
We are not going to evade that responsibility. We are going to let people down. And people, far and near, will hear of us. Frost will be brought to their backbones and tears to their eyes when our stories are told and retold, So let us go forth, my fellow members of this luckily chosen generation, and meet the new century in victory and glory.
责任感——青年人荣誉的标志
站在台上面对大家，我心情十分激动。好像是在参加一次历史性的长征。我们今天面对的远不只一场竞赛或角逐。这是才华出众，生气勃勃的中国青年的.一次聚会。我们是青年一代的代表。为迎接新世纪的到来，我们正在从各方面作好准备。
在这一历史时刻，能有机会代表同龄人在此认真地回顾于国于己都至关重要的过去的15年，我感激万分。
尽管只能谈谈个人经历，而且只涉及其中一个小小的片段，但我相信，它仍然折射出对我和在过去15年间一同成长起来的青年人都不可缺少的一种思想基础。
我上小学时，班上有位小姑娘，学习非常刻苦而成绩却不尽人意。
老师要我帮助她。看得出，她也寄厚望于我。但我那时还是个小男孩，坐不住，不懂事。我老是ME避她。以便有更多时间自己玩。
期末考试前一天，她来求我说“请你给我讲解一下行吗这次我很想考得好一点。”我开始给她讲解，不一会儿便草草收场，假装没有察觉她迷茫的眼神，一溜烟儿地跑开了。不出所料，这次她又考砸了。两个月后，新学期依始，传来她死于血癌的消息。我没有完成那项小小的任务，无人知晓。但我却不能原谅自己。她的眼睛令我难以忘怀，仿佛在责问我，“你为什么不愿多帮助我呢这对于你来说，并不费事。你为什么不能理解我对你的信赖，而让我带着痛苦和遗憾离开这个世界”
我当时才八九岁。但从某种意义上讲，这件事成了我生活的新起点。因为我开始体会到“责任”二字的意义，并尽心尽力地学着完成自己的义务。我也逐渐领会了这个神圣字眼的深刻内含:人与人之间的彼此需要和信任、合作和依赖正是人类社会存在的基础。
之后，我在生活中又经受过多次失败，但那小姑娘之死所引起的懊悔，心里却不曾再现。想到自己做每一件事都能尽职尽责，一种满足之感便油然而生。
此事及类似的多起事件改变了我，完善了我。当我长大成人，我开始领悟周围发生的一切变化。我发现，从某种意义上说，社会跟我一样，正处在一个自我完善的时期。新建筑、新商品、新款式一天一个样。新思维、新信息、新技术层出不穷。即便万里相隔，人们在转瞬之间即可相互交谈。社会竞争越演越烈。
人们越来越强调个性和创造性。越来越多的人因工作努力而受到奖赏。这就是当今的时代，一代新人由成长迈入成熟的时代。这是我们这一代人接替父辈治国安邦的时代。然而，我们也面临很多间题。
据悉，坏人在光天化日之下作恶，周围的群众居然袖手旁观，无动于衷。我还听说，目前我国尚有100万儿童连小学也上不起，而巨额资金却拿去举办奢侈的宴会和购置豪华的轿车。
我们常常买的是劣质药品，或名曰药品实为一文不值的废物，非但不能除病去痛，反而会使
病情加重。在某些人看来，世上金钱最宝贵，只要能赚钱，不惜牺牲道德和责任。
因而，这个时代赋予我们的是更强烈的竞争和效率意识，使我们更善于批判性地思考和创造性地行动。
此外，这个时代要求我们这一代人必须认清自己肩负的历史重任，下定决心，采取行动，解决上述问题。长期以来，历史一直在我们这一代人身上培养着这些品质。现在，历史呼唤我们挺身而出，以实际行动向全民族及全人类证实我们的拳拳爱国之心和大无畏的英雄主义。
此刻，我站在讲台上回顾15年来的学生生活。今后的岁月，我很可能平平淡淡地度过。但这丝毫不会让我心灰意冷。因为我知道，凭借强烈的责任感和精益求精的不懈奋斗，我将追求一种有意义的生活，一种不枉此生的生活。
此刻，我站在讲台上回顾过去，15年来祖国取得的巨大成就激励着千千万万的同龄人。我们之中大多数人将与名利和权力无缘。只有极少数人或许会后世留芳。对此我们丝毫也不会在意。因为我们知道，世界在观望，世界在倾听。在这个大量机遇和激烈竟争并存的时代，我们国家究竟去向何方，整个世界都在关注。
我永远不会忘记班上那位小姑娘。她本应该却没能和在座各位一样享受今天美好的人生和明日充满希望的世界。
接受新世纪的挑战，把我们的血汗、智慧和热情奉献给建设祖国、造福人民的伟大历史事业。这就是我们这一代人的神圣职责。
我们决不逃避责任，决不辜负人民的期望。我们的业绩将四海传扬。我们的故事将被反复讲述，定会令人惊叹不已，以至热泪盈眶。
有幸与时代为伍的朋友们，让我们勇往直前，以胜利的姿态迎接光辉灿烂的新世纪的来临!
演说者简介】 刘欣(1975一)，南京大学外国语学院英语系学生，在1995年底的校级英语演讲赛中脱颖而出，代表南京大学参加1996年3月22日在北京举行的“21世纪杯全国大学生英语演讲比赛”.以《选择的重要性》为题发表演说，夺得比赛第一名。
Knowing the Consequences of Choice
Over the past Spring Festival, I got involved in a family dispute. Right before I got home, four satellite channels of CCTV were added to the 14 channels we had already had. In prime time at night, they all had interesting shows. Therefore, the five of us-my parents, my sisters and I-had to argue over what to watch. Finally, we agreed that we should watch the "most interesting" programme... If we
could agree what that was.
However, all of us there remember that for a long time after we had TV, there were only one or two channels available. The increase in options reveals an important change in our life: the abundance of choice.
Fifteen years ago we all dressed in one style and in one colour. Today, we select from a wide variety of designs and shades.
Fifteen years ago, we read few newspapers. Today, we read English newspapers like the China Daily and the 21st Century, as well as various Chinese newspapers.
Fifteen years ago, English majors took only courses in language and literature. Today, we also study Western culture, journalism, business communications, international relations, and computer science.
The emergence of choices marks the beginning of a new era in China's history; an era of diversity, of material and cultural richness, and an era of the rebirth of the Chinese nation.
我今天有一个梦想。
我有一个梦想，有一天每一个山谷都将被抬高，每一座小山和高山都将被降低，崎岖的地方将变得平坦，弯曲的地方将变得笔直，上帝的荣耀将被显示，所有的人都将一起看到它。
哇，这对马丁·路德·金来说是一个多么美好的梦想啊。但不断变化的世界似乎告诉我，人们在成长的过程中会以某种方式逐渐失去梦想，有时我个人会不自觉地与那些遥远的童年梦想告别。
然而，我们需要梦想。它们滋养我们的精神；即使我们被现实所拖累，它们也代表着可能性。他们让我们继续前进。大多数成功人士不仅是普通人，也是梦想家，他们不怕胸怀大志，敢于成为伟人。当我们还是小孩子的时候，我们都梦想着做一些大而引人注目的事情，一些有意义的事情。现在我们需要做的是维护它们，刷新它们，把它们变成现实。然而，最难的是，我们经常不知道如何将这些梦想转化为行动。嗯，就从具体目标开始，坚持下去。唐。不要让无名的恐惧迷惑我们的眼睛，扰乱我们对未来的坚定信念。通过我们的才能，通过我们的智慧，通过我们的耐力和创造力，我们会成功的。
紧紧抓住梦想，因为如果梦想破灭，生命就是一只折翼的.鸟，无法飞翔。紧紧抓住梦想，因为一旦梦想破灭，生活就是一片冰雪覆盖的不毛之地。所以我亲爱的朋友们，想想你们的旧梦，也许是死去的梦。不管是什么，从今天开始捡起来，让它活起来。
坚持你的梦想
我今天有一个梦想。
我梦想有一天，山谷会上升，高山会下降，崎岖的土地会变得平坦，曲折的道路会变得平坦。圣光照耀世界。
这对马丁·路德·金来说是一个多么美好的梦想。但是，这个不断变化的世界，似乎告诉我，在成长的过程中，人在不知不觉中已经失去了梦想，我有时候觉得，我在和很多童年的梦想说再见。
然而，我们需要梦想。梦滋养我们的灵魂。梦想代表着我们被现实撕裂时依然拥有的希望。它鼓励我们继续前进。大多数成功人士都是梦想家和普通人，但他们敢于梦想，成就伟大。小时候，我们都梦想做大事。我们现在应该做的是保存那些梦想，重新恢复并实现它们。但最难的是，我们通常不知道如何付诸实践。然后，从最具体的目标开始，坚持下去。不要让那些莫名其妙的恐惧迷惑了我们的眼睛，影响了我们对未来的信念。凭借我们的天赋和智慧，我们的耐力和创造力，我们一定会实现我们的梦想。
紧紧抓住你的梦想，因为如果你梦见死亡，生命将变成一只折断翅膀的鸟，再也不能飞翔。紧紧抓住你的梦想，因为如果你失去了梦想，生活将变成一片冰雪覆盖的贫瘠冻土。亲爱的朋友们，想想那些已经过去或逝去的梦。不管是什么，重新捡起来，让它从今天起重生。
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 ……
life is not long, but many times choose, you have many choices come through today. e 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 oote the development of the existing productive forces, not to complain about noplain 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.
人生不长，但很多次选择，你今天来通过许多的选择。等待超过60天，你又作出选择，但选择是你的生命是非常重要，非常关键的选择。在很大程度上直接关系到你未来的人生方向的选择，不管涉及到生命未来的辉煌，甚至生命的重大问题取得成功。
最后的选择，因为你年轻，很大程度上是由你的父母或亲属，以帮助您做出选择。然后，他们有能力帮助，您可以创造条件，帮助你（例如，以您的不同选择，他们可以给你钱，你选择读生）。入口的选择，但是这在很大程度上取决于你自己决定。因为：第一，选择难度较大，一些家长和亲属也缺乏指导能力，二是政策选择，一个更公平，他们可能有钱，但你也不能得分足够的钱帮助你。因此，在这方面和自治的主要未来在你自己手里是有很多选择。
考大学已经创造了客观条件的选择。例如，大学一直是这里的门打开面对每一个学生，你可以进入他们的条件。另一个例子是，国家的招生政策是不针对个人，而是针对所有候选人，今年已经形成，你可以只准备通过政策要求，选择的条件。另一个例子：你面对的教师和在过去60天以上的客观因素，教学环境，基本上是恒定的。你只能适应进一步适应。因此，您的当前研究的客观条件，如果我们只能面对每一代人已经形成为生产力的条件，只能在此基础上努力，以促进现有生产力的发展，而不是抱怨主观现在有生产率低下。今年的高考，你只能已经形成由这些主观和客观条件，面临的努力改善他们的学业表现。不要抱怨比我的客观条件。
但有很多生活放弃，以更好的选择。你这个时候，面对的是该大学向你招手，你可以选择不放弃。也可以说：你放弃了过去的很多，就是这个选择。例如，你为什么不外出工作？为什么不留在家里耕作？为什么看到你的父母从早到晚，忙于耕作，即使在外地生病劳累，和大家分享这些担心并没有回家他们解决问题的，你可以放弃所以他们没有这种选择所有时间？
双方放弃了这么多，他们选择了今天，为什么不尝试选择明天？召唤你不选择作为大学的另一个呢？有你的灵魂是进一步净化，提高您的品质，并增加您的生存能力，并改善您在未来的生活质量，实现更大的人生价值的熔炉。
In the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
When the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.
Thank you!
青春
青春不是指岁月，而是指心态。粉嫩的脸，红润的唇，矫健的膝并不是青春。青春表现在意志的坚强与懦弱。想象的丰富与苍白、情感的充沛与贫乏等方面。青春是生命深处清泉的喷涌。
青春是追求。只有当勇气盖过怯弱、进取压倒苟安之时，青春才存在。果如此，则60见之长者比20岁之少年更具青春活力。仅仅岁月的流逝并不能使他们衰老。而一旦抛弃理想和信念，则垂垂老也。
岁月只能使皮肤起皱。而一旦丧失生活的激情，则连灵魂枯老，使人生枯如死水，毫无活力。
60岁长者也好，16岁少年也罢，每个人的内心深处都渴望奇迹，都如孩子一般眨着期待的双眼，期待着下一次，期待着生活的情趣，你我灵魂深处都有一座无线电中转站------只有你我年轻，则总能听到希望的唿唤，总能发出喜悦的欢唿，总能传达勇气的讯号，总能表现出青春的活力………
一旦青春的天线倒下，你的灵魂即为玩世不恭之雪、悲观厌世之冰覆盖；即使你年方20.其实你已垂垂老也。而只要你青春的天线高高耸起，就可以随时接收到乐观的电波-----即使你年过八旬，行将就木，而你却仍然拥有青春，你仍然年轻。
谢谢！

Good afternoon, ladies and gentleman! First I want to say is that I’m very proud of to be invited to to present my topic here, which is “ Internet Civilization”.
Before I begin my topic, please allow me to ask you a question: Every time you click the mouse to surf the web, do you know what does it mean?
On the net, you can make friends overseas and call them with IP phones; you can get information from all over the world; you can even give a hand to some people in troubles and get help when in need.
However, we have to admit that internet also leads to intimacy before acquaintance; it scatters secrets outwards, not inwards; and, most worrying of all, it is a vehicle for liars.
Here we should see, there exists good and evil, right and wrong on the web. As netizens, we’d better grow to realize the importance of Internet Civilization.
Just as the famous saying goes “Long and steep is the path to virtue.” Many people advocate that we should be sincere, honest and responsible in our society—the real world. Now, what I want to add is that we also should obey the primary moral principles in this virtual world.
All of my dear friends here, on the internet, which role did you play? Which role are you playing? And which role will you play?
Thank you very much!
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.
We've all been taught that we should help people. It is the right thing to do and will make us popular with others. It may even win us favors in return. However, we must be realistic. We can't say yes to every request. If we did, we would fail or go crazy for sure. Sometimes we simply don't have the time to help. In this case, we must know how to say no politely.
When we need to say no, here is one method we can try. First, we should tell the truth. If we really can't do something, we should just say so. Second, we should remember to refuse requests politely. We must communicate clearly, but must also be sincere and sympathetic. A true friend will understand. Finally, we must not feel guilty about saying no. Sometimes refusing others is the right thing to do. It can save ourselves, and them, a lot of trouble. In short, we cannot please everyone all the time. Refusing favors is a part of life.
Ladies and gentlemen, youth is precious. It is a time of our lives where we are energetic, idealistic and passionate but also clueless, insecure and naive. This small fragment of time in our lives may sometimes feel like a grey area between childhood and adulthood. A time where most of us feel lost but yet excited about what’s to come. It is a mixture of bliss, toxicity and adrenaline. Youth is bright and sunny but it is also dark and stormy. Let me explain.
Youth is happiness. Youth is trying things for the first time. It is being a bit braver, a bit bolder, a bit... mercurial! Perhaps, for some, it is the first time we fall in love and it’s magical - like a story in a fairytale. Youth now, is spending time on the Internet, with our friends, on our hobbies, on the things we enjoy - but, all this time is not time wasted because we are happy. Youth is a Pandora’s Box of memories with childhood friends and high school classmates - making fun of our teachers behind their backs and sometimes copying each other’s homework.
But youth is also pain. It is a time of metamorphosis and sometimes we learn things that are simply excruciating. For those who fall in love, youth is your first heartbreak and it feels like the end of the world. Youth is a time for goodbyes - the friends we used to see every day are now scattered across the globe and everyday becomes once a year. Youth is a time for acceptance - where we get rejected by universities, by our parents and even by ourselves. We beat ourselves up over things we can’t change yet don’t understand - why did that university not accept me? Why am I not good enough? Why?
Youth is both happiness and pain. It has moments of highs and lows, light and dark. It is the zenith and the nadir. You can’t have one without the other. Rather, it’s a balance of both - a yin and a yang, a complete whole.
So ladies gentlemen, do not fear the darkest of nights because it will always be followed by day - the boy or girl who broke your heart will never meet the spouse of your future, the friends you thought you’d never see again come back to you - perhaps on your wedding day and to those who didn’t think that we were good enough, well, look how far we’ve come.
Thank you.
I was an orphan,but after marriage husband child caring,smart man,I finally get rid of the shadow of childhood. However,a car accident I was a single mother drop from the clouds,there is no source. I don't want a lifetime on the dole,he decided to return to the university campus. I have to find a better degree work,raising his son grow up. However,there was no family support and encouragement,I soon found that this road is very difficult.
One night,at the school the reminder letter,my last defence collapsed. Take care of his son,part-time,class,exam. So many things to deal with,a person can only I alone,tears fell down.
My little son saw me cry,and ran away with a toy,a look of concern and anxiety. "Never mind,my mother is too lonely," I explained incoherently,there are a lot of things to do,but no helper"
The son looked at with bright eyes: "God is a man made Adam and Eve,he is single parents like you!" his words lightning hit me. I said: "you're too good,my son!" her son,"Mom to this sentence. Tell all the people!"
The second day,I borrowed the money and bought 100 coffee cups,printed on the son said: "God is single parents!" I advertised on the Internet,the quilt was sold out. A unit of the Family Association called to book 1000,the semester tuition solved. Whenever I see the desk of the coffee cup always the courage to smile said: "afraid of what God is single parents"
尊敬的:
大家好！我叫陈。很高兴在这里分享我对成长烦恼的看法。
长大了，就像生活中的一艘船，驾着浪面。有时平静，有时艰难。但是我长大的船，并不是一切都在走。对我来说，酸的，甜的，苦的，呵呵，一切。
现在，随着我的成长，正在成为成年人，所以在父母眼里，我不再是一个孩子。有时，他们会说& quot你& # 39；我长大了，不是小孩子了！"我一听这个头就疼。
当我还是个小男孩的时候，我的生活是如此的轻松。但是现在，前面的海浪更大，大海更曲折，我成为一名中学生，这一切我都过去了。我& # 39；我更高，作业更多，学习更多的科目，有更多的.考试。当我还是个孩子的时候，无论发生什么我都是错的，没有人来责怪我。但是现在，如果我做错了什么，我的父母就会大喊大叫。轻松的时光将离我远去。我会更忙。
学习压力一直困扰着我。长大后，更多的工作渐渐像小山一样。放学后，我不敢玩，去看自己喜欢的书，我& # 39；恐怕我能& # 39；为了完成这项工作，我只能拼命把我书里的钢笔弄成波浪形，例如，我必须在回家的路上跑步。课程也逐渐繁重。每天晚上回家复习，我看了很多书，我真的不知道学习什么科目，是语文？还是数学？还是地理？或者……
我该怎么办？展望未来的生活。
女士们，先生们，下午好!
我很高兴站在这里，给你一个简短的演讲。今天我的主题是“青年”。我希望你会喜欢它，发现青年中的重要性，更珍惜它。
首先，我想问你一些问题：
1、你知道什么是青春?2、如何掌握你的青春呢?
青年
青春不是生命的一个阶段，它是一种心态，它不是玫瑰色的脸颊，红色的嘴唇和柔软的膝盖，这是一个重要的情感：它是新鲜的，它是生命的深泉在涌流。
青春是一种气质的勇猛果敢而不是怯懦退缩的食欲，在安逸的冒险。这通常存在于一个60岁的人更可能比一个20岁的男孩。人老不仅仅是岁月的流逝。理想的毁灭，人类才出现了我们变老。
岁月，衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。担心，恐惧，自我不信任弓心脏和精神回沾污。
无论是60岁的16岁，在每一个人的心奇迹的诱惑，欲望天真烂漫的童心，快乐的生活的游戏。你的心和我的心的中心有一个无线电台：只要它接收消息的美、希望、快乐、勇气和力量从男人和无限的，只要你是年轻人。
天线时，你的精神覆盖着玩世不恭和悲观厌世的冰层，那么你是老了，即使在20，但只要你的天线，捕捉乐观的信号，你可能有希望死于年轻的80岁。
谢谢你!
Ladies and Gentlemen, Good afternoon!
I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. Today my topic is “youth”. I hope you will like it, and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.
First I want to ask you some questions:
1、Do you know what is youth? 2、How do you master your youth?
Youth
Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
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 60 more than a boy of 20 . Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years 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.
Whether 60 of 16, 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’s a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.
Thank you!
In the 90s of last century, a new thing began to take on the stage of people’s life and now it has played an irreplaceable role in every field. It is the Internet. At the same time, we were born. It is generally thought that we are the generation growing up with the Internet, called the net generation.
Some people say that we are the generation who live a most superior life and lack setbacks during growth. It is true that we don’t face the problems and that kind of hardship like our fathers do, but I don’t think it means we are leading an easier life. Inevitably, we are labeled by the era. It seems that everything we do is magnified, displayed under the public concern and always causes fierce debate. Most of us are the only child of the family, which contributes to our addiction to the Internet .When we feel lonely in the real world, we may turn to the virtual world for comfort. However, from all the programs like supergirl to various figures that attract our attention in some abnormal way, what does the Internet bring to usWho are weThat made even us ourselves a little confused.
Well, who are we, the net generation
First I’d like to say, we are what we do and what we concern. Our generation is living in a world of information explosion and we are lucky enough to experience this shift. Thanks to the Internet, we can enjoy online education, all forms of entertainment and find almost everything you name it with ease. Though the Internet benefits a lot in terms of convenience , it also brings about many problems on screening so much information. Junk mails and advertisements are everywhere, sometimes containing eroticism and violence. Recently , there’s a tendency that we are paying more and more attention to things that challenge the convention of society, like people who make ridiculous remarks to hype themselves or boys dressing like girls and girls acting like boys. People, especially our generation , seem to be a little crazy about these stuff. One of the reasons lies in their rebellion out of a certain age. Some simply want to place themselves in the centre of public concern by doing controversial things. Maybe that’s why sometimes we are called “the beat generation”.
Well, is that as far as we can getI don’t think so. Maybe we are going through some growing pains, but that’s necessary to be mature physically and mentally. Only did we overcome those obstacles in the way can we really know who we are and who we will be. Nor is the Internet without its merits. We see a much bigger world via the Internet,
which helps to widen our horizon and broaden our mind. Many youngsters are inspired to start their own career online and now they are successful in every field. Sometimes rebellion is not a bad thing, it’s a symbol of independent mind. Post 90s are full of adventure and curiosity. They are willing to accept the new and think different. Thinking outside the box is one of our characteristics. In fact, our generation has already proved ourselves a lot, by showing our young faces on sports fields, bestsellers’ covers, and even politics stages. We are making differences to this society , you cannot fail to see our efforts.
After all, it is our generation that will take the responsibility to build the new world. Maybe we don’t need an exact definition of who we are, all we need to do is keep our dreams, never give up. There’s no limitation of youth. I believe we are young and energetic enough to make the best generation ever.
Good morning India!
Today on 15th August 20xx India is celebrating its 67th Independence Day, and we Indians are proud to say we have owned our freedom 67 years old back. As we gather here today I take the opportunity tocongratulate every student and teacher of this School/college a Happy Independence Day! I also take the opportunity of welcoming you our chief guest for today!
We have assembled here to celebrate our 67th Independence Day. As a citizen of India, I am so proud to talk to you about my mother India. On the night of August 14, 1947, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru rose to make a maiden speech in New Delhi, “When the world sleeps, India will wake to life and freedom.” Yes, India became free from the bondage of British rule. Now, India is the largest democratic country in the world. Thecountry’s strength is to find, “Unity in diversity”. But, there are stray incidents that test her secularism but the people of India are ready to sacrifice anything for the cause of unity. Today we remember the great leaders who gave their lives for the nation’s freedom and prosperity. Dr. dkar gave the longest written constitution to us. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru worked for an industrialized India. Gandhi Ji taught us Ahimsa and Non-violence. Subash Chandra Bose inducted courage in us. Swami Vivekanand gave us spiritual power. Yes, with these contributions; India will be the super power in the coming years. Our former President Abdul Kalam called the children of India to dream to build a strong
People returning to work after a career break: I call them relaunchers. These are people who have taken career breaks for elder care,for childcare reasons,pursuing a personal interest or a personal health issue. Closely related are career transitioners of all kinds: veterans,military spouses,retirees coming out of retirement or repatriating expats. Returning to work after a career break is hard because of a disconnect between the employers and the relaunchers. Employers can view hiring people with a gap on their resume as a high-risk proposition,and individuals on career break can have doubts about their abilities to relaunch their careers,especially if they've been out for a long time. This disconnect is a problem that I'm trying to help solve.
Now,successful relaunchers are everywhere and in every field. This is Sami Kafala. He's a nuclear physicist in the UK who took a five-year career break to be home with his five children. The Singapore press recently wrote about nurses returning to work after long career breaks. And speaking of long career breaks,this is Mimi Kahn. She's a social worker in Orange County,California,who returned to work in a social services organization after a 25-year career break. That's the longest career break that I'm aware of. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor took a five-year career break early in her career.
And this is Tracy Shapiro,who took a 13-year career break. Tracy answered a call for essays by the Today Show from people who were trying to return to work but having a difficult time of it. Tracy wrote in that she was a mom of five who loved her time at home,but she had gone through a divorce and needed to return to work,plus she really wanted to bring work back into her life because she loved working. Tracy was doing what so many of us do when we feel like we've put in a good day in the job search. She was looking for a finance or accounting role,and she had just spent the last nine months very diligently researching companies online and applying for jobs with no results.
I met Tracy in June of 20xx,when the Today Show asked me if I could work with her to see if I could help her turn things around. The first thing I told Tracy was she had to get out of the house. I told her she had to go public with her job search and tell everyone she knew about her interest in returning to work. I also told her,"You are going to have a lot of conversations that don't go anywhere. Expect that,and don't be discouraged by it. There will be a handful that ultimately lead to a job opportunity."
I'll tell you what happened with Tracy in a little bit,but I want to share with you a discovery that I made when I was returning to work after my own career break of 11 years out of the full-time workforce. And that is,that people's view of you is frozen in time. What I mean by this is,when you start to get in touch with people and you get back in touch with those people from the past,the people with whom you worked or went to school,they are going to remember you as you were before your career break. And that's even if your sense of self has diminished over time,as happens with so many of us the farther removed we are from our professional identities. So for example,you might think of yourself as someone who looks like this. This is me,crazy after a day of driving around in my minivan. Or here I am in the kitchen. But those people from the past,they don't know about any of this. They only remember you as you were,and it's a great confidence boost to be back in touch with these people and hear their enthusiasm about your interest in returning to work.
There's one more thing I remember vividly from my own career break. And that was that I hardly kept up with the business news. My background is in finance,and I hardly kept up with any news when I was home caring for my four young children. So I was afraid I'd go into an interview and start talking about a company that didn't exist anymore. So I had to resubscribe to the Wall Street Journal and read it for a good six months cover to cover before I felt like I had a handle on what was going on in the business world again.
I believe relaunchers are a gem of the workforce,and here's why. Think about our life stage: for those of us who took career breaks for childcare reasons,we have fewer or no maternity leaves. We did that already. We have fewer spousal or partner job relocations. We're in a more settled time of life. We have great work experience. We have a more mature perspective. We're not trying to find ourselves at an employer's expense. Plus we have an energy,an enthusiasm about returning to work precisely because we've been away from it for a while.
On the flip side,I speak with employers,and here are two concerns that employers have about hiring relaunchers.
The first one is,employers are worried that relaunchers are technologically obsolete. Now,I can tell you,having been technologically obsolete myself at one point,that it's a temporary condition. I had done my financial analysis so long ago that I used Lotus 1-2-3. I don't know if anyone can even remember back that far,but I had to relearn it on Excel. It actually wasn't that hard. A lot of the commands are the same. I found PowerPoint much more challenging,but now I use PowerPoint all the time. I tell relaunchers that employers expect them to come to the table with a working knowledge of basic office management software. And if they're not up to speed,then it's their responsibility to get there. And they do.
The second area of concern that employers have about relaunchers is they're worried that relaunchers don't know what they want to do. I tell relaunchers that they need to do the hard work to figure out whether their interests and skills have changed or have not changed while they have been on career break. That's not the employer's job. It's the relauncher's responsibility to demonstrate to the employer where they can add the most value.
Back in 20xx I started noticing something. I had been tracking return to work programs since 20xx,and in 20xx,I started noticing the use of a short-term paid work opportunity,whether it was called an internship or not,but an internship-like experience,as a way for professionals to return to work. I saw Goldman Sachs and Sara Lee start corporate reentry internship programs. I saw a returning engineer,a nontraditional reentry candidate,apply for an entry-level internship program in the military,and then get a permanent job afterward. I saw two universities integrate internships into mid-career executive education programs.
So I wrote a report about what I was seeing,and it became this article for Harvard Business Review called "The 40-Year-Old Intern." I have to thank the editors there for that title,and also for this artwork where you can see the 40-year-old intern in the midst of all the college interns. And then,courtesy of Fox Business News,they called the concept "The 50-Year-Old Intern."
So five of the biggest financial services companies have reentry internship programs for returning finance professionals. And at this point,hundreds of people have participated. These internships are paid,and the people who move on to permanent roles are commanding competitive salaries. And now,seven of the biggest engineering companies are piloting reentry internship programs for returning engineers as part of an initiative with the Society of Women Engineers. Now,why are companies embracing the reentry internship? Because the internship allows the employer to base their hiring decision on an actual work sample instead of a series of interviews,and the employer does not have to make that permanent hiring decision until the internship period is over. This testing out period removes the perceived risk that some managers attach to hiring relaunchers,and they are attracting excellent candidates who are turning into great hires.
Think about how far we have come. Before this,most employers were not interested in engaging with relaunchers at all. But now,not only are programs being developed specifically with relaunchers in mind,but you can't even apply for these programs unless you have a gap on your résumé.
This is the mark of real change,of true institutional shift,because if we can solve this problem for relaunchers,we can solve it for other career transitioners too. In fact,an employer just told me that their veterans return to work program is based on their reentry internship program. And there's no reason why there can't be a retiree internship program. Different pool,same concept.
So let me tell you what happened with Tracy Shapiro. Remember that she had to tell everyone she knew about her interest in returning to work. Well,one critical conversation with another parent in her community led to a job offer for Tracy,and it was an accounting job in a finance department. But it was a temp job. The company told her there was a possibility it could turn into something more,but no guarantees. This was in the fall of 20xx. Tracy loved this company,and she loved the people and the office was less than 10 minutes from her house. So even though she had a second job offer at another company for a permanent full-time role,she decided to take her chances with this internship and hope for the best. Well,she ended up blowing away all of their expectations,and the company not only made her a permanent offer at the beginning of 20xx,but they made it even more interesting and challenging,because they knew what Tracy could handle.
Fast forward to 20xx,Tracy's been promoted. They've paid for her to get her MBA at night. She's even hired another relauncher to work for her. Tracy's temp job was a tryout,just like an internship,and it ended up being a win for both Tracy and her employer.
Now,my goal is to bring the reentry internship concept to more and more employers. But in the meantime,if you are returning to work after a career break,don't hesitate to suggest an internship or an internship-like arrangement to an employer that does not have a formal reentry internship program. Be their first success story,and you can be the example for more relaunchers to come.
Thank you.
Good morning!
I come from class ? grade ?, my speech is entitled "I love my school."
Towering at the foot of the iron roof temple, at the Trans-North and the South side of Xiangfan, in the post-rolling river foreshore, is located forward of a Beauty School - Middle School Maoba.
Dawn, the night has not yet started,grass sweet to fall asleep, and the birds have not woke up from their sleep, the entire campus at the morning mist in the diffuse, like the mythology of the Temple. At this time, you see that white at a distance of teaching buildings, will be strange to see a white fog with wind around his waist in the Academic Building.
Gradually opening night, the morning mist at the vast expanse of whiteness receded, at the flow. At this time, there have been at the morning mist of vague shadows, one, two ... five ... ten ... ... in droves, accompanied by cheerful laughter, walked into the campus.
I do not know when, brilliant red Zhaoxia a half of the sky, soft colors will sprinkle campus. Little tree woke up, dipped in dew; wildflowers awake, able to smile; birds awake, showed voice, toward the blue sky.
I love our school! I love our teachers!
What is nature
What is nature? It's everything that exists in the world independently of people, such as pants and animals, earth and rocks, and the weather.
Now more and more people are focusing on the nature. It is no doubt that the nature is important to every human being. No nature, no life. Because of the supplies of the nature, we have lived happily for a long time. And we started to gain every thing available from the nature. And this lasted so long a time. Today, people have discovered that the nature around is getting worse and worse.
What is threatening the nature? Air and water pollution, overharvesting of plant and animal species, overpopulation and so on. Overpopulation is the biggest source of pollution. Let's take overpopulation as an example.
What does overpopulation feel like? When we move slowly through the city in a tazi. When we enter a crowded slum district. When the temperature is high and when the air is thick with dust and smoke. The streets are crowded with people. The streets seem alive with people. People eating. People washing. People talking. People sleeping. People visiting each other, arguing and screaming. People relieving themselves. People pushing their hands through the taxi windows, begging. People leading animals. People, people, people, people. As we drive slowly through the crowd, sounding the taxi's horn, the dust, heat, noise and cooking fires made it like a scene from hell! I admit, frightening.
To the nature, overpopulation is a big problem. More people, more pollution. And the big population is threatening the nature every second.
The rapid rise in world population is not creating problems only for the developing countries. The whole world faces the problem that raw materials are being used up at an increasing rate and food production can not keep up with the population increase. People in rich countries make the heaviest demands on the world's resources, its food, fuel and land, and cause the most pollution. A baby born in the United States will use in his lifetime 30 times more of the world's resources than a baby born in India. Unless all the countries of the world take united action to deal with the population explosion there will be more and more people fighting for a share of less and less land, food and fuel, and the future will bring poverty, misery and war to us all.

I'm happy as I grow up
Good morning,everyone! I’m Zhang Yuting from Grade six.Today,the topic of my speech is “I'm happy as I grow up”.
The happiness of growth is the purest kind of happiness, Sometimes not even need any reason.It is a happiness in human life when continuous improvement, It is even the emotional outpouring from the heart. Someone might ask: Is it just happy to grow it is no trouble, and of course there is a growing worry, but "tired" and just "happiness" contrast, is not absolute; sometimes troubles may also be a pleasure.
Through careful study, I know the happiness of mastering knowledge. I know that learning is equivalent to happiness. When you get good grades; When you get a praise from teacher or parents; When you are thinking very hard, and finally know the correct answer to a question When you know a lot of knowledge you almost didn’t know , Do you feel a sense of happiness? right, this is the happiness of learning! we learn in growing life every day, since it can’t escape, then happy to face it! we need to have a class carefully and complete homework carefully , we need to review and preview consciously , you need some proper outdoor sports, to maintain a healthy body. As long as you do the above points, you will be surprised to discover that learning is so happy!
So, my classmates, we must cherish every minute of Time from life, let us "happy to learn, happy to grow up "!
Since the quality of honesty applies to all behaviors, one cannot refuse to consider factual information, for example, in an unbiased manner and still claim that one's knowledge, belief or position is an attempt to be truthful. Such a belie
f is clearly a product of one's desires and simply has nothing to do with the human ability to know. Basing one's positions on what one wants — rather than unbiased evidence gathering — is dishonest even when good intentions can be cited — after all even Hitler could cite good intentions and intended glory for a select group of people. Clearly then, an unbiased approach to the truth is a requirement of honesty.
Because intentions are closely related to fairness and certainly affect the degree of honesty/dishonesty, there is a wide spread confusion about honesty--and a general belief that being dishonest means that one ALWAYS correctly understands if their behavior is either honest or dishonest. Self-perception of our morality is non-static and volatile. It's often at the moment we refuse to consider other perspectives that there is a clear indication we are not pursuing the truth, rather than simply and exclusively at the moment we can muster up evidence that we are right. Socrates had much to say about truth, honesty and morality, and explained that if people really understood that their behavior was wrong — then they simply wouldn't do it — by definition. Unfortunately, honesty in the western tradition has been marginalized to specific instances — perhaps because a thorough understanding of honesty collides with ideologies of all types. Ideologies and idealism often exaggerate and suppress evidence in order to support their perspectives — at the eXPense of the truth. This process erodes the practice and understanding of honesty. To an ideologist the truth quite often becomes insignificant, what matters most are their ideals and what ever supports their desires to enjoy and spread those ideals.
Human beings are inherently biased about what they believe to be good due to individual tastes & backgrounds, but once one understands that a decidedly biased approach to what is true — is inherently dishonest, one can also understand how idealism and ideology have poorly served the quest for an honest, moral society. Both honesty and morality require that we base our opinions about what is good — upon unbiased ideas of what is TRUE — rather than vice versa (determining what is true based on what we feel is good) — the way all ideologies would have us believe.
When I was seven years old, I began to learn English. I play games and sing English songs with other children. Sometimes I watch English cartoons. This is interesting. Then I discovered the beauty of language and began my colorful dream in the English world.
I hope I can travel around the world someday. I want to visit Washington because my cousin is there. Of course, I'd like to go to London too, because England is a place for English language development. If I could ride my bike at Cambridge, I would be very happy.
I wish I could speak English with all the people in the world. I will also introduce China to them, such as the Great Wall and the gardens in suzhou. I will teach people all over the world about the beautiful language of our country.
I like English. It's great to learn English. I once wanted to be an English teacher. I also like Chinese literature. When I was little, I could remember many poems. I also want to be a Chinese teacher. Now I think both of my dreams can be realized: I can teach foreign friends Chinese in English and share Chinese culture with them. Therefore, more and more people will be able to understand 5,000 years of history and culture and the prosperity of our great motherland.
My future is not a dream.
Tribute to the dog
Gentlemen of the Jury:
The best friend a man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name may become traitors to their faith.
The money that a man has, he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us, may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads.
The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer.
He will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounters with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings, and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens.
If fortune drives the master forth, an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard him against danger, to fight against his enemies. And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by the graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even in death.
good evening, my fellow americans.
tonight i want to talk to you on a subject of deep concern to all americansand to many people in all parts of the world, the war in vietnam.
i believe that one of the reasons for the deep division about vietnam isthat many americans have lost confidence in what their government has told themabout our policy.
the american people cannot and should not be asked to support a policywhich involves the overriding issues of war and peace unless they know the truthabout that policy.tonight, therefore, i would like to answer some of thequestions that i know are on the minds of many of you listening to me.how andwhy did america get involved in vietnam in the first place?how has thisadministration changed the policy of the previous administration?what has reallyhappened in the negotiations in paris and the battlefront in vietnam?whatchoices do we have if we are to end the war?what are the prospects for peace?now let me begin by describing the situation i found when i was inaugurated onjan.
20th: the war had been going on for four years.
thirty-one thousand americans had been killed in action.
the training program for the south vietnamese was behind schedule.
five hundred forty-thousand americans were in vietnam with no plans toreduce the number.
no progress had been made at the negotiations in paris and the unitedstates had not put forth a comprehensive peace proposal.the war was causing deepdivision at home and criticism from many of our friend, as well as our enemies,abroad.in view of these circumstances, there were some who urged withdrawal ofall american forces.
from a political standpoint, this would have been a popular and easy courseto follow.
after all, we became involved in the war while my predecessor was inoffice.
i could blame the defeat, which would be the result of my action, on him --and come out as the peacemaker.
some put it to me quite bluntly: this was the only way to avoid allowingjohnson’s war to become nixon’s war.but i had a greater obligation than to thinkonly of the years of my administration, and of the next election.
i had to think of the effect of my decision on the next generation, and onthe future of peace and freedom in america, and in the world.let us allunderstand that the question before us is not whether some americans are forpeace and some americans are against peace.
the question at issue is not whether johnson’s war becomes nixon’s war.
thank you!
What is success? Different people have different ideas.You may say success is the realization of one's hopesand justified goals.Under such notion,however,people have different understanding of success because the hopes and goals they cherish vary from one another.
there may ba so mangy kinds of success in the world that i can't enumerate them all.So maybe it's difficult to set a defination for success.But ,in my opinion,it's easy to define what is failure---there is only one failure called never try.
Everyone has his dreams but not all of them dare to make it come true.Just like a huter aimed at his game but never fire or a soldier who crying out but never toward.They are afraid of failure that they might encounter.
That reminds me of a game we used to play.We put the chairs in a circle.And the player must pass through th barriers made by the chairs with his eyes covered up.He would be allowed to memorize the positions of the chairs.But as soon as his eyes is covered,we will remove all the chairs.
Sometimes,our life is just like such kind of game.We tried our best not to bump against the barriers.But these things turn out to be existing only in our minds.And sometimes,we made them for ourselves.We dare not to participate a competition or get cold feet to call the boy or girl we love.It turns out that the barriers we made for ourselves lead to the loss of a lot of things.
Don't give up trying untill you really bump against the chairs.Even so,at least you have a place to sit on.
Some people would say i tried but i failed to pass an exam or to find a job.I'am a failure .But on the contrary,i prefer to call these things setbacks instead of failures.There is no failure in a winner 's dictionary.
It doesn't matter i you have a tumble , what really matters is that you lose the courage to stand up and give it another try.The process is full of tears and pains.
Just look back on how we learn to walk when we are young.If we gave up easily,today we may only crawl .If Tomas Edison gave up easily in finding a proper material to make a bulb,maybe we will live in the darkness after the sunset.Perhaps we need some torches to go on with our competition.
I,myself,a shy person by nature who easily suffers from stage fright,had to get up my courage to take part in this speech contest like this.I could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not coming here.But i chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties. Now here i am.I will try my best because i know i would broaden my horizon and make a lot of friends here.
I still remember the first time i sang a song at a party ,the first time talking to a foreign friends,the first time made a speech on the platform,etc.Although at first they almost scared me to death,but when it was over,i feel it's worthing trying.There is a saying goes,'people often reGREt what they didn't do instead of what they have done.'
Forrest Gump often says,'life is like a box of chacolate ,you never know what you are gonna get.' I would say if the chacolate you got is not your favourite.Don't get upset but try the next.
Leo Tolstoy once said, everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.
He is right. We always have great plans and dreams in our minds… too ready to achieve something grand that changes the world or benefits all of mankind .For example; we hate pollution and have made up our minds to find new energy sources that keep the environment clean. Yet we still litter on the ground. We complain about traffic jams, so we plan to build more highways to solve the problem, but it never occurs to us that our failure to follow traffic regulations is the leading cause of this situation. We are so concerned that the violence in the media has a bad impact on our children, we urge the government to set laws to protect them. But, do we, as adults, set a good example for our kids? We use nasty words and even spit on the ground in front of them, I dare to say, we harm more!
In my opinion, before we decide to change the world, we had better change ourselves first. As ordinary individuals, we do not have the power to change the world. But we can change our habit of littering, spitting, cussing, we can respect the environment around us, we must act as good models for our kids.
If each of us does all of these little things, all of us, millions and millions of individuals together, together we will be strong …strong enough to change our world!
So please, the next time you do something, think how your actions influence not only you, but those around you too, especially our children …and perhaps more importantly…our planet!
