挫折的英语演讲稿初中生（精选35篇）
In my 6 years of study and career, I encountered many setbacks. But thesesetbacks, no one can beat me, which has a setback let me the most imprint isengraved on my heart.
When I was reading the fifth grade, a day to the final exam, which made mefeel the hitherto unknown pressure and panic. I stayed at home all day, soon toenter the state, I put the book on the review of the knowledge points are readwas a long sigh of relief. The time flies, the exam is scheduled. This morning IChinese, English, maths exam this afternoon. Chinese book the look of the revieware so examination is very easy, English also did well in the exam, which mademe a little get dizzy with success. The afternoon of the math test I because ofhis carelessness several application problems originally very simple to thewrong, I kept saying to himself: "don't be afraid, just the wrong a few wordproblem buckle only buckle of more than a dozen hours, I get 80 points." When Iwas in comfort, but who would have thought I had only a 70 math, language 90.5points, only 77 points. When I saw the marks, immediately silly eye, let mereally want to cry but no tears, blame only themselves to blame be big withpride, thought he did well in the exam, and exam in a complete mess.
I took the papers on the way home, the sky seems to do the like, adownpour. The cold wind whistling blowing sand, sand falling rain, thunderrumble, sounded to me this is like a sad song, listen to my heart sour. Very noteasy to go home but did not dare go in, has been hovering in the doorway, hasnot entered. I saw dad saw my score be furious, constantly scolded me to hit me.Finally I have teeth pressed the doorbell, instead of seeing an angry face but abe courteous and accessible face. I really feel feel shy look said: "Mom, Igot......." To the back of the voice is more and more small, finally small likemosquitoes a "buzz" sound. "Needless to say, we all know." The mother saidquietly. I marveled: "how do you know? Don't you down?" Mother said: "I see youcome back late, call your teacher, the teacher put your grades said, and that wedon't hit you, teacher let you speak with him." I see light suddenly, theoriginal is the teacher to save my life, I hurried to answer the phone said:"thank you, teacher." "No thanks, I just want to tell you something." Theteacher said. Say what you want to say. I was quick to promise. "The sunshineafter the rain, do not experience wind and rain, how rainbow? If you understandthe meaning of this sentence, not afraid of anything like this today." Then theteacher hung up the phone.
Yeah! Do not experience wind and rain, how rainbow, life is probably noteverything is going smoothly, there will always be some ups and downs, as longas we dare to face and learn from it will not have any setbacks can beat us!
Failure is a common thing in our daily life. There are times when we failto do satisfactory work. In short, failures happen naturally and almost everyonehas such experience.
However, there are different attitudes toward failure. Some people loseconfidence in failure. Some people dont take failure seriously and they just letit be, while some others learn much from failure, and therefore see the light ofhope through failure.
In my opinion, what really counts is not failure itself, but what we thinkof failure and do after failure. As long as we dont give up and believe inourselves, and in the meantime learn something from failure, well certainly makeour marks in this world in the end.
The failure is the mother of success.But how many people are actually ableto grasp the mystery?
General speaking, people are afraid of failure.What should we fail toface?The key issues were to fail.We understand and transform the world, thedefeat was inevitable.Brave in face of failure is the only correct way tosuccess of our guide.We can sum up the lesson from failure.After many mistakes,we should be close to success and believe that failure is only temporary.Thefailure of the people tend to be alone, around on his support, even a comfortingword, can add to his great power.
In a word,failure are not terrible. Horrible is you don't have the courageto face defeat feeling!
生活中如果有任何一个因素可以促进成功,那就是从挫折中受益的能力.我所了解的每一次达到的成功都是因为那个人能够对挫折进行分析,在下一次工作中真正得益.如果混淆挫折和失败,你就注定会真正失败.因为不是挫折使你失败,而是你自己拒绝从挫折中看到成功的方向和勇气.
挫折并不可耻.在每个取得成功的人的生活中,挫折是家常便饭.但你一定要能够面对挫折而不感到羞耻,能够分析它并了解失败的原因,否则挫折就是绝对的损失.换言之,挫折可以帮助解决它自身的起因.挫折不但可以为我们成功做好准备,而且没有任何东西可以在我们的内心激发起如此强烈的想要成功的欲望.如果你让一个婴儿抓住一根竿子,然后试着把竿子抽出来,孩子就会越抓越紧,直到他们整个重量都依附于此.每次你被击败的时候,正是这同样的反应会赋予你崭新的更为巨大的力量.
如果你能够利用挫折带来的这种力量,你就能够用它来完成远远超乎你能力的目标.
If there is any single factor that makes for success in living,it is theability to profit by defeat.Every success I know has been achieved because theperson was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his nextundertaking.
Confuse defeat with failure,and you are doomed indeed to failure.For itisn't defeat that makes you fail:it is your own refusal to see in defeat theguide and encouragement to success.
Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of.They are routine incidents in the lifeof every man who achieves success.But defeat is a dead loss unless you do faceit without humiliation,analyze it and learn why you failed.Defeat,in otherwords,can help to cure its own cause.Not only does defeat prepare us forsuccess,but nothing can arouse within us such a compelling desire to succeed.Ifyou let a baby grasp a rod and try to pull it away,he will cling more and moretightly until his whole weight is suspended.It is this same reaction whichshould give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated.
If you exploit the power which defeat gives,you can accomplish with it farmore than you are capable of.
what college education means to me.
the title of my speech is “what college education means to me”.now reflecting on the past two and half years of my college experience, i come to realize how much it has shaped me.
for me, college education is a marvelous ship-builder who designed me from kneel plates up.
with great vision, college education has equipped me, first with a powerful propeller----the sophisticated knowledge in certain field and wide exposure to other disciplines. by dedicating myself to the engineering courses in the day and immersing myself in the rich banquet of the world literature at night, i’ve amassed the driving force for the future and enriched my soul.
besides, college education has also provided me with a precise compass----the sense of social responsibility. how can i best serve the interest of the public while achieving my self-fulfillment? my one year’s experience as a part-time english teacher has testified: to be valuable to society as well as to find my place, i have to possess some actual strength and the ability to function well in the most challenging situation. amid the hectic schedule that balances club activities, sports, and academic courses, i feel the rhythm and beauty in the intensity of my high-pitched life, knowing that i ’m on the right way.
and more importantly, college education has set up not only single ships, but also fleets with common destinations. by interacting with friends of common beliefs, i’ve acquired skills of relating to other people.
now ,as a ship about to make my maiden voyage ,i’m still not in the position to tell what’s waiting ahead of me ,but with a powerful propeller, a precise compass and ardent companions of sailing in the sea of society, i’m ready to be a great sea-explorer.
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.

Morning, winter fog diffuse. Immediately after the fog clears, there was abeautiful picture. The pine needles are standing on a thick layer of whitefrost, white it is like a tree. A few blows over, the yellow leaves arefalling.
In the snowy morning, I saw the white snow, really don't have the heart togo to step on it. When I was walking on the beishan stone road, I heard thesquelching sound.
My face is frozen some tight, some itching,, although very cold, but thecold was also covered with my happy mood.
Winter is my favorite.

早上起来，冬雾弥漫。雾散之后，立即出现了一幅美景。那松树的针叶上凝着一层厚厚的白霜，像是一树洁白的秋菊。微几拂过，那黄黄的叶子纷纷落下。
在雪后的早上，我看到那洁白的雪花，真的不忍心去踩它。我走在北山的石路时，我听到了咯吱咯吱的响声。
我的小脸被冻的有一些发紧，还有一些痒，，虽然很冷，可是这种寒冷也被我那快乐的心情覆盖了。
冬天是我的最爱。
My idol is Bruce Lee, who was a fighting movie star, born in Hong Kong. His kong fu was excellent. Once in Florida, he fought 4 thieves with empty hands. Since then, he set out to film and became more and more famous. Although he has died for over 30 years, to this day, his name is still known to many people, and to many, his movies are still exhilarating.
i received a devastating bloplement my height and psychological maneuvers and tricks to hide my lack of confidence. but no matter hoeone panying a snow white than be a snow white among nothing but snow whites. i would rather be myself. i would contribute my individual and unique colors to create a more diverse universe. please, be yourself.
译文:我重树信心
大学生活的几年里，当我参加第一次面试时，我的自信心受到了沉重的打击。我向学生剧团申请出演一个主角，而且我十分自信地认为我会被录用。但是,其中有个剧团成员告诉我:你似乎不太合适出演这个角色，因为你的身高有点问题。我从未遇到过这种情况。我穿着高跟鞋来弥补我的身高，采用心理策略和技巧来掩盖自己信心的缺乏。但是，不论我怎样努力进入角色，感觉还是缺少些什么。
作为英语俱乐部的主席，我为英语晚会组织排演了《白雪公主》短剧。不幸的是，我们找不到合适的人选出演最后一个小矮人。这个角色必须生性幽默，英语流利。突然，所有人的目光都转向了我，我知道那个小矮人就是我了。让我极度奇怪而又高兴的是，一上台，我完全投入到演出中，而且我那幽默的天性被发挥得淋漓尽致。作为一个小矮人，我取得了巨大的成功。
的'确，我们中的任何一个人都是千百万中的一员，但我们中的每个人都是一个与众不同的个体。发挥我们自己的个性会改变我们的生活，使它们成为美丽的万花筒。
失去了多样性的世界是个冷漠、乏味的地方。真正的悲剧不是个矮、害羞或丑陋，而是将自己的个性迷失在一个克隆的世界里，那里到处都是典型的酷男孩或无瑕、迷人的好姑娘。
如果让我选择，我宁可面貌五陋，也不愿生活在这样一个世界里。我宁可做一个伴随白雪公主的真实的小矮人，也不愿做白雪公主世界里的一个白雪公主，而随波逐流。我宁可作为一个真实的自我而出现。我愿将自己独特的、与众不同的色彩奉献给多姿多彩的世界。走自己的路，让别人去说吧!
Hello,everybody !it is my great honor to be here to share my idea with you .Today,I will talk something about DREAM——A word that has changed the world .
“What do you think is the word that has really changed our world ”
When I was asked about this question for the first time ,without thinking it too much ,a word flash into my mind ——DREAM ,D-R-E-A-M.People more or less dream about different things ,to be a teacher ,a doctor ,a scientist ,a businessman and so on .All these people who have dreams should be respected ,because Dreams make the world go around .We grow great by our dreams.All big men are great dreamers in their youth.Everyone has a dream ,and everything starts as one’s daydream.
Martin Luther king had a dream.He desired for a future where blacks and whites would coexist harmoniously as equals.By speaking the way he did,he educated,he inspired,he informed not just the people there,but people throughout America and unborn generations.He pushed forward the pace of American black society towards the racial equality .
Thomas Edison had a dream.He dreamed of a lamp that could be operated by electricity,began where he stood to put his dream into action,and despite more than ten thousand failures,he stood by that dream until he made it a physical reality!And today,his dream lights up the world at night.
Walt Disney had a dream.This,in itself,wasn't unusual -- he was always dreaming.He dreamed of making the first animated feature film,and of building an amusement park that parents could enjoy right along with their kids.Walt Disney empowered his dream and today,Disneyland,Disney world and Disney theme parks attract around the world thrill millions of visitors each and every year.
John F.kennedy had a dream.He wanted to land a man on the moon and return him safely to earth so as to restore faith in the American way of life.John F.kennedy empowered his dream and 8 years later Neil Armstrong stepped on the face of the moon.The moon landing certainly gave Americans new found confidence.
Dream --- A word that has changed the world Yes ,I would say so ,wouldn’t you
Youth is a special life relay station ,the growth with the worry ,the life feeling become aware happily with the dream ,collected a unique youth melody in here .
We decide.We choose.And as we decide and choose,so are our lives formed.In the end,forming our own destiny is what ambition is about.And most importantly ,You are the one you choose to be.
It is easy to waste our lives ,our days ,our minutes .It is easy to exist than living .So hold fast to your dreams,For if dreams die,life is a broken-winged bird,That cannot fly.Hold fast to your dreams,For when dreams go,life is a barren field,Frozen with snow.

See, us kids are going to ansatically be happy and healthy.
es doe from Dr. Roger e of those parents like mine counted it as one of the reasons they felt confident to pull their kids from traditional school to try something different. I realized Im part of this small, but groputer hacker, he hacked skiing. His creativity and inventions made skiing munity, and through a net around the nation, and that sparked my love of e basic physics concepts like kinetic energy through experimenting and making mistakes.
My favorite munity organizations play a big part in my education, High Fives Foundations Basics program being aizing hats and selling them. The people cliff-to-cliff. Skiing to me is freedom, and so is my education, its about being creative; doing things differently, its about community and helping each other. Its about being happy and healthy among my very best friends.
So Im starting to think, I know what I might want to do when I grow up, but if you ask me what do I want to be when I grow up? Ill always know that I want to be happy. Thank you.
mother nature is an exquisite and complex life-system. it's charm appears in the trees, stream, soil, insects, moss and fungus, all the things on the earth in different shapes, which are interdependent. when you get close to nature, please remember, each tree, stone and species of animals here has lived harmoniously for hundreds, thousands or even millions of years. when we pass away, they will continue to live. they are the real masters, while we are just the passer-by. however, the conduct we unconsciously do, such as picking, lumbering, tramping and abusing can probably destroy the balance of their life. therefore, we must reduce our bad influence as much as possible. while you are enjoying the nature, do not forget please, the beauty of the lives also needs to be concerned with and to be protected.
each life on the earth has a long and touching evolutionary story. from the origin, the lives of the human being are equal to those of others; they both are the composing parts of mother nature. nevertheless, for some inexplicable reasons, the human becomes the spirits of all creatures. of course, it is the result of the evolution, but still we should be grateful to all our companions in nature for the opportunity they offer.
in spite of this, humans cannot live without earth. they live on the earth, drink the sweet water, and enjoy the sunshine, the air, the sky, the fruit; the grains utilize the energy and so on. in a word, the human being cannot live without nature, and mother nature makes us grow stronger.
i do not like the word "pet", but preferring the word "animal" instead. i have been loving animal since i was just a little boy. when thinking of the "pet fashion", i always feel much annoyed. for the animals will be given a shackle and lose their liberty if they become someone's pets. their natural attribution can be deprived, too.
up to now, relying on their scientific power, the human have opened up too much and over developed nature, in order to fill up their growing appetites of wealth. they destroy the balance of nature, however, they don't realize, their own development and existence will be threatened. therefore, our sights should be focused on nature and we should try to develop the concept of "keeping human and nature in unity".
we should lay emphasis on our education with consider cultural and natural emotion. to use the vivid example to wake up the conscience in people's hearts.
to love nature is to love our mankind. as the new generation who enter the new century, we should make efforts to love and respect nature, to treat it well and protect it. at last, we have the night to enjoy it.
Low carbon life is a very environmental protection and civilization. my understanding is that of low carbon in daily life from yourself, from small start, minimize every possible cost. of course, low carbon is main or refers to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
Actually, low carbon life from everyone very close, as long as pay more attention to some of the details, life can have to reduce energy consumption role. my life in some low carbon small doohickey of water-saving aspects is aims at. production tap water and wastewater treatment are to a significant amount of energy. so, water is energy saving.
For example; water may be used for washing a face wash the feet of water, wash clothes can be used to rinse dishcloth, clean the floor, then these wastewater can again to flush the toilet; water after washing vegetable can be used to water the flowers. dont look down upon these water reuse, accumulated, only a 3 home can save a ton per month above water.
In addition, if monthly wash clothes, so once per washer can save electricity, also saves power of the coal, also will reduce carbon emissions, if all the family can do monthly by hand to wash clothes, reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide once is 68.4 tons, can achieve this figure is very surprising. meanwhile, but use washing machine while holding with clothes to wash washing machine also can cause unnecessary waste.
So for us students have more ways energy-saving
Paper, save paper; use double-sided
Need not disposable chopsticks and disposable lunch box;
Need not disposable bags;
Reduce food waste;
The lights on, conveniently mind faucet.
Our earth needs we work together to love, let us start from around things, cherish resources, reduce the energy consumption and make our life more beautiful.
20xx年来，魏国强(音译)的目光一直没有离开过中国足球，但值得庆祝的理由却是少之又少。
"It's like the Chinese saying; 'you always think your children are the most beautiful no matter how ugly they are,'" the 30-year-old education specialist told CNN in Beijing.
“中国有句俗话：‘母不嫌子丑，狗不嫌家贫，’ 我对中国足球也是这样的心情。” 这位30岁的教育专家在北京接受CNN采访时说。
Dogged by poor performances on the pitch and corruption scandals off it, the Chinese game has been far from beautiful.
绿茵场上球员的欠佳表现和一些贪腐丑闻，中国足球一直不被看好。
But die-hard soccer fans like Wei finally have something to cheer about.
但是像魏先生这样的死忠球迷终于等到了这样一个欢呼雀跃的时刻。
Guangzhou Evergrande, a soccer team based in the southern city of Guangzhou, became Asian champions on Saturday, beating South Korea's FC Seoul to claim China's first continental title in 23 years in a stadium packed to capacity with fans wearing the team's blood-red colors.
11月9日星期六，来自南方城市广州的俱乐部球队广州恒大，在坐无虚席、尽是恒大鲜红球迷的主场击败韩国首尔FC，荣获亚冠联赛冠军，这也是中国足球在20xx年以来夺得第一个亚洲冠军。
"They are persistent and never surrender," said Wei, who watched the match on television at home.
“他们坚持不懈，从不言弃，” 魏先生说，他在家中的电视机前观看了比赛直播。
Evergrande will now play in the FIFA Club World Cup in December, pitting the team against the likes of German giants and reigning European champions Bayern Munich. Previous winners of the tournament include Chelsea, Manchester United and Barcelona.
今年12月恒大还将出征国际足联世界俱乐部杯，有机会与欧冠强队、德国劲旅拜仁慕尼黑场上较量。世俱杯之前的冠军得主有切尔西、曼联和巴塞罗那等。
China last tasted international success at club level in 1990 when Liaoning lifted the trophy of the now expired Asian Club Championship. Its national team has also punched below the country's weight.
中国最近一次品尝国际俱乐部级的成功是在1990年，辽宁队举起了亚洲足球俱乐部冠军联赛(现已停办)的奖杯。国家队一直没有令人瞩目的表现。
Despite being one of the country's most popular sports -- President Xi Jinping is said to be a big fan -- China failed to qualify for the 20xx World Cup and did not enter the running for the 20xx tournament.
尽管足球是中国最受欢迎的体育项目之一——据说也是足球迷——但中国没有打入20xx世界杯，也没有入围20xx年世界杯承办权的角逐。
Evergrande's rise to the top of Asian football has been fast and furious and some say it could be Asia's first "superclub."
恒大以迅雷不及掩耳之势跃居亚洲足球之冠，有人说，它可能成为亚洲第一家“超级俱乐部”。
In early 20xx, the team was bought by Xu Jiayin, the boss of property developer Evergrande Real Estate Group and China's 13th richest man, according to Forbes.
20xx年初，福布斯中国富人榜名列13的恒大地产集团老板许家印出手买下这支球队。
He paid 100 million yuan ($16.4 million) for the club, shocking many as the team had recently been relegated to the second division of China's league. In 20xx, they won the Chinese Super League and claimed the league title for the third time this year.
他为俱乐部投入1亿人民币(合1千4百万美元)，这样的大手笔让许多人吃惊不小，因为这支球队当时刚被降级中甲。20xx年，他们重返中超夺冠，并在今年第三次蝉联冠军。
Dong Jianzheng, an editor at the Chinese-language World Soccer Magazine, credits Xu's deep pockets as the main reason for the team's success.
《足球世界》杂志中文版编辑董建峥将该球队的成功归功于许家印的经济实力。
The club has spent at least 1.5 billion yuan ($250 million) in the past three years, according to The China Daily, recruiting domestic stars and foreign players like Brazilian striker Muriqui. The team is led by Marcello Lippi, who coached the Italian team that won the 20xx World Cup.
根据《中国日报》的报道，恒大在过去的3年里至少花掉15亿元人民币(合2亿5千万美元)，招募国内球星和巴西中锋穆里奇等外援。该队的主教练马尔切洛·里皮曾率意大利队问鼎20xx年世界杯。
"The Evergrande model is similar to Chelsea and Manchester, where they win simply because they invest," Dong told CNN.
“恒大模式类似于切尔西和曼联，他们赢，只因为舍得下本钱投资，” 董先生接受CNN采访时说。
"They have a strong team and a large number of foreign players. They are good because they dare to throw in their money." But he said Evergrande's success doesn't represent the big picture.
“他们有实力强大的球队，有很多外援加盟。他们之所以出色，因为敢于砸钱投资。但是，他说恒大的成功并不代表大环境。
A bribery investigation that led to several players, referees and managers serving jail terms has left many fans disillusioned with the Chinese game.
中国足球贪污受贿案将一些球员、裁判和经理人送进监狱，导致许多粉丝不再对中国足球抱有幻想。
Rowan Simons, the author of "Bamboo Goalposts: One man's quest to teach the People's Republic of China to love football", says corruption reaches down to the sport's grassroots, which suffer from a lack of investment.
《足球无疆》的作者罗文·西蒙斯说，足球投资匮乏，腐败侵蚀到了足球运动的根基。
"Parents will bribe the coach to get (their child) into the team, teams will bribe the referee to win the game," said Simons, who has lived and played football in China for more than 20 years.
“父母向教练行贿，这样他们的孩子才能进球队，球队行贿裁判赢球，” 住在中国与中国足球打了20多年交道的西蒙斯说。
Hopes are high that Evergrande's arrival on the international soccer stage will give a much-needed boost to the country's football system.
恒大登上国际足球舞台将给予中国足球体制亟待的推动，人们对此寄予厚望。
The president of the Asian Football Confederation, which runs the region's premier tournament, said that Evergrande's win would infuse new life into Chinese football and spread the game to a wider audience.
亚洲足联主席表示，恒大的成功将为中国足球注入新活力，吸引更多的观众。亚足联主要负责举办地区性的重要足球赛事。
"I am confident that this will benefit not only the Chinese Super League but also the national team in a big way," said Shaikh Salman bin Ebrahim.
“我相信，这一成功不仅对中超而且对国家队都极为有利，” 亚足联主席谢赫萨尔曼·本·易卜拉欣说。
But they will have a hard time convincing fans like Cui, an engineer, who spends his spare time glued to the English Premier League, Europe's UEFA Champions League and Spain's La Liga.
但是他们想拥有像崔工程师一样的球迷还有很长一段路要走，崔先生把业余时间都花在看英超联赛、欧冠比赛和西甲联赛上。
He says he won't make the effort to watch Evergrande's FIFA Club World Cup match against Egyptian side Al Ahly in December. "The time difference is a challenge, but I still choose foreign matches because they are much more professional," he told CNN.[
他说，他对12月的俱乐部世界杯恒大对埃及阿赫利的比赛兴趣不大。“尽管时差是一大挑战，但是我仍然选择外国的球赛，因为他们专业得多，”他告诉CNN。
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, honorable judges. Today I feel highly honored to stand here and deliver this speech to you. My topic is “Global citizenship begins at home”.
Global citizenship, from my point of view, is a kind of responsibility, a way of behaving, under the tide of globalization.
Since China has been a member of WTO for 6 years, great changes have taken place around us. It’s no wonder that global citizenship deeply affected contemporary Chinese people. As far as the globalization is concerned, we’ll easily find that all the citizens around the world are in the same huge family-----the earth. We care about each other, we learn from each other, we work and have fun together. Just like the slogan of the 29th Olympic Games being held in Beijing says:” One world, one dream.”
Nowadays, we can keep ourselves informed just stay at home because of a variety of media. More and more corporations join together to develop advanced products. We begin to notice the significance of cooperation and gradually realized that we are global citizens whether we are young or old, male or female, rich or poor.
However, at the same time, in order to globalize, we expense so much that we are losing something traditional. Therefore, I believe it’s of great urgency to think globally and act locally.
It goes without saying that we have to confronted with more problems as a consequence of globalization. We should spare no effort to deal with questions of common concern, such as global warming, pollutions, disasters and terrorist activities for we not only belong to our own nation, but the whole world as well.
As a university student, especially us students from college of foreign language, it’s no longer enough for us to pay close attention to our motherland. We are in the competition within a range of the whole world.
Action speaks louder than eloquence. Everyone can be global citizen if he wants to be. If you use paper bags instead of plastic ones, if you remember to turn off the lights when leaving the room, if you read international news everyday, then you’ve already been a global citizen.
To sum up, Global Citizenship Begins at Home. Only if every one of us takes ourselves for global citizen, can our world be more harmonious. That’s all for my speech. Thank you!
when a variety of problems plague the information systems, the critical importance of information security becomes the focus of people's concern. it does deserve the unprecedented emphasis.
it is widely accepted that information security, to some extent, outweighs other spheres in the field of information. so the related authorities, enterprises, institutions and organizations place the high priority on it.
information security concerns a range of problems- information interception, loss, damage etc. business and military information leakage will have an devastating impact. for the information owners and monitors, they must drive their efforts to enhance the security protection and maintenance.
for example, a strict control over the access to the secret data shouldn't be absent. the network and software provider should take a set of tailored protection measures targeting different computer crimes. the security issues should be also considered at the legislative level, so we are clamoring for a law designed to clamp down on various cyber crimes.
鼠疫信息系统各种问题时,至关重要的信息安全成为人们的关注的焦点。它应该得到前所未有的重视。
人们普遍认为信息安全,在某种程度上,比其他领域领域的信息。所以有关部门、企业、机构和组织的优先。
信息安全问题的一系列问题——信息拦截,损失,损害等商业和军事信息泄漏将产生毁灭性的影响。信息所有者和显示器,他们必须推动他们努力提高安全保护和维护。
例如,一个严格控制访问机密数据不应该缺席。网络和软件提供商应该采取一系列的保护措施针对不同的计算机犯罪。安全问题应该也考虑在立法层面上,我们强烈要求法律旨在取缔各种网络犯罪。
Do you like dancing?
One of my classmates likes dancing very much. She hasbeen studying dance for ten years, she has studied national dance and ballet,and dance has made her an elegant girl. She had a teacher who taught her todance because she wanted to go to college by dancing. I like dancing, too, but Ilike street dance. I like watching street dance shows very much, such as "thisis street dance", I think street dance is very cool, can make a person veryattractive, and street dance spread love and peace, which is verymeaningful.
If there is any single factor that makes for success in living,it is theability to profit by defeat.Every success I know has been achieved because theperson was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his nextundertaking.
Confuse defeat with failure,and you are doomed indeed to failure.For itisn't defeat that makes you fail:it is your own refusal to see in defeat theguide and encouragement to success.
Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of.They are routine incidents in the lifeof every man who achieves success.But defeat is a dead loss unless you do faceit without humiliation,analyze it and learn why you failed.Defeat,in otherwords,can help to cure its own cause.Not only does defeat prepare us forsuccess,but nothing can arouse within us such a compelling desire to succeed.Ifyou let a baby grasp a rod and try to pull it away,he will cling more and moretightly until his whole weight is suspended.It is this same reaction whichshould give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated.
If you exploit the power which defeat gives,you can accomplish with it farmore than you are capable of.
As we all know, "Failure is the mother of success." But few people canreally understand what the saying means.
In the world, I am sure that no one dare say he hasn't met any trouble allhis life. So we must face failure. In fact, failure is not fearful, butimportant thing is how to face it correctly. Facing failure, people will nevertake their fate lying down.They will try their best to work harder and harderuntil at last they succeed.
Not being courageous to face setbacks, people have no chance to enjoy thepleasure of success. So they have nothing to do but feel sad and empty all dayand all night. In fact, they lose the chance of success themselves.
My friend, whenever in trouble, please remember, "Failure is the mother ofsuccess."
Teachers and parents are working together to ensure the health and well-being of all children. Schools are really safe places for children to be, and they are the heart of the community. Let's make sure they stay that way.Fortunately, schools, parents, and communities are finding practical ways to provide children the safe and disciplined conditions they need and should expect to find in school, such as by promoting smaller schools, respectful communities, fair and rigorously enforced discipline codes, teacher training to deal with violence, school uniforms, and after-school programs that keep kids productive and off the streets.We must get violence out of our schools, and we must put discipline and learning back in them

good morning,dear teacher and my friends.
it’s a very intresting topic today.
i think my dad was a hero for me when i was a young child. we'd go fishing, walks, and other fun things for a kid.
every child has a good and great father, and so do i. my dad played a very important role in my daily life`````exactly speaking, in my past 16 years.
my father always stands in the center of my life， from past till now and possibly in the future.
my family was rather poor when i was in my childhood. we didn't have our own house and had to live in a shabby， small room rented from my father's factory. the room was so small that there was little space for people to walk. i didn't have my own bed and had to sleep with my parents. this is terrible both for my parents and me.
but father made this all different!he works very hard on his own business, now we have our own 2 housese,surly,i have my own room.and he take our family so much happiness, richer and richer.
when i was little, i did everything with my dad. you could always find me sitting on his knee or walking and doing everything with him. every night he would read me a bed time story and make the voices of each character.
i learnt a lot from my daddy. i learnt to never take things to seriously and to always smile.
like many other fathers, my dad and i also has generation gap. he is not good at or even can’t work the computer. so when i sitting at the computer desk,he will say something like ‘you should pay more attention to your study’, ‘don’t waste time on the computer games’ , ‘it will be bad for your eyes’ and so on. how can i- a computer fan – reduce time on computer? so i continue studying and playing on it
years pasted, my father is over 45 now. it is time for me to look after him and i am sure i will do and we will live an even better life. and i will say,i really love you dad,cause you are the hero in my mind.
thank you so much!

早上好,亲爱的老师和我的朋友。
今天是一个非常种乐趣的主题。
我认为我爸爸是一个英雄给我当我还是个孩子。我们去钓鱼,散步,孩子和其他有趣的事情。
每个孩子都有一个好和伟大的父亲,我也是,我爸爸扮演了非常重要的角色在我的日常生活‘’‘’准确地说,在我过去的20xx年。
我父亲经常站在我生命的中心,从过去到现在甚至未来。
我家很穷当我在我的童年。我们没有自己的房子,必须生活在一个破旧的,小房间租了从我父亲的工厂。这个房间太小了,没有空间让人们走路。我没有我自己的床上,和我的父母不得不睡。这是可怕的对我的父母和我。
但父亲这一切不同!他工作非常努力自己的事业,现在我们有自己的2 housese,粗暴,我有自己的房间。他把我们的家人幸福,富裕和更丰富。
当我小的时候,我和我的爸爸做了一切。你总是可以找到我坐在他的膝盖或者散步和做一切和他在一起。每天晚上他会读我床上时间的故事,让每个字符的声音。
我从我爸爸那里学到了很多。我学会了从不认真对待事情,总是微笑。
像很多其他父亲一样,我的爸爸和我也有代沟。他不擅长甚至不能电脑工作。所以当我坐在电脑桌前,他会说“你应该更注意你的学习,不要浪费时间在电脑游戏上的,这将会对你的眼睛有害。我怎么能——电脑风扇,减少时间在电脑吗?所以我继续学习和玩它
年粘贴,我父亲现在45岁以上。是时候让我照顾他,我相信我会做,我们会过一个更好的生活。我想说,我真的爱你爸爸,因为你是我心目中的英雄。
谢谢你这么多!

I love my mom,so I give her a hug when I get home,and tell her she is thebest mom in the world.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen :
My name is . I’m a student of Great 7 from middle school. I ’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech today. My topic is “I love English”.
English is now used everywhere in the world. It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade. More and more people has begun to learn English now .
As for me, I love English soon when I began to learn it. I find the great beauty of English language from English songs, English stories and English book. Learning English makes me confident and give me a new colorful world.
I love English. I hope I can travel around the world one day. I want to go to America, I also want to go to London. If I can ride my bike in New York University, how happy I’ll be!
I love English. I hope I can make friends with many people from different countries. I will introduce China to them proudly in English, Such as Great Wall and the Summer Palace.
I know Rome was not built in a day. I believe that I can speak English very well one day if I can study hard. At that time, my dream will come ture.
That’s all. Thanks for your listening!
Thank you!
According to The New Oxford Dictionary of English,frustration,bydefinition,means the feeling of being upset or annoyed,especially because ofinability to change or achieve something.Since frustration seems to be anegative feeling,some people may be tempted to think that frustration is bad forpeople.They believe that constant frustration may cause serious mentalproblems.People suffering from such psychological problems often resort toviolence or suicide,which poses a big threat to the people around them and thuscauses instability to the whole society.
Others,however,hold a different view.They maintain that it is beneficial topeople.It goes side by side with success.It inspires people to overcomehardships and difficulties and achieve the final success.People with this vieweven go so far as to say that no frustration,no success.Indeed,we cannot alwayshope to embrace success and never accept failure.And most importantly,only if welearn from many a failure can we do things better and finally overcome such abad feeling as frustration.
Frustration thus is part of our life experience.In our process of growingup,we may inevitably experience it when confronted with situations that don’tcome up to our expectations.It is a test of our courage when it befalls us.If welet it control us,we may fall into the abyss of being inflicted by seriouspsychological problems.But if we harness it and take it as our source ofinspiration,we may ultimately enjoy the glory of success.
my dream hello everyone! it is my great pleasure to share my dream with you today.
my dream is to become a teacher.
you know being a teacher is a thing that is very valuable and very interesting.
i suggest that it must be a great fun to be with children all the day.
and if i am a teacher， i can teach my students a lot of knowledge.
they might become stronger and cleverer because of me.
that is a very contented feeling.
china is a developing country.
没有想象力就没有创造力
NO IMAGINATION, NO CREATIVITY
Dear teachers and students：
Good morning / afternoon / evening! My name is Liu zi yuan. The title of my speech is the relationship between creativity and imagination.
尊敬的老师、同学们大家早上/下午/晚上好!我叫刘子源。我演讲的题目是创造力和想象力之间的关系。
There is no creativity without imagination. With the development of the society, creativity becomes more and more important. People could not satisfy with ordinary life. So we need creativity to meet their requirements. We can see significance of the creativity from an example. The smart phone—iphone spread all over the world. That was the creativity of The Apple Inc. It is obvious that it will produce a bigger profit than common manufacturing. But, hao can we acquire creativity?
没有想象力就没有创造力。随着社会的发展，创造力变得越来越重要。人们已经不能满足于日常生活。所以我们需要不断的创新来满足他们的需求。通过一个例子我们可以知道创造力的意义。苹果智能手机的使用遍及全世界。这就是苹果公司的创新。很显然，这项创新产生了巨大的利润比起普通的制造业。但是我们怎样才能获得创造力?
I think the creativity roots in imagination. Albert Einstein said that imagination is important than knowledge. Because we should creative a thing that is never appeared, we need to image. Use all the things and information around us to think and then go to achieve it. Without the imagination of the Wright brothers , human could not complete the flying dreams. Without the imagination of the Alexander Graham Bell, we could not hear the voice from a distance. If the creativity can make the human progress, imagination will be the road to success. Where the imagination come from? Knowledge ? Experience ? practice? I consider that all of them are indispensable. It is often said that knowledge is power. So we should empower ourselves with knowledge. After that we need to obtain experience form. practice. These are the basis, and we must strengthen them to extend our imagination.
我认为创造力扎根于想象力。爱因斯坦曾经说过，想象力远远比知识更重要。因为我们要创造一个事物，以前从没有出现过的，因此我们需要想象。利用我们周围所有的事物以及信息去想象，然后去完成它。 没有莱特兄弟的想象力，人类就不能实现飞天的梦想;没有贝尔的想象力，我们就不能听到来自远方的声音。如果说创造力可以使人进步，那么想象力就是通向成功的道路。想象力来自哪里?知识?经验?还是实践?我觉得所有这些都是必不可少的。俗语有云：知识就是力量。所以我们首先应该用知识武装自己，然后我们需要从实践中获得经验。这些都是基础，我们必须用它们来扩展我们的思维。
As contemporary college students, we must shoulder the responsibility of the future of our motherland. What we need is not only the knowledge of the past, but also is the innovation of a new field. Our thought can not be bound by the old things. We should understand that an excellent nation is always full of creativity. So we must promote our imagination. There is no creativity without imagination. That’s all, thank you!
作为一个当代的大学生，我们需要肩负起祖国的未来。我不仅需要旧的知识，而且更要创新新的知识领域。我们的思想不能被旧知识所束缚。我们应该知道，一个优秀的民族永远是一个具有创新性的民族，所以我们必须提升我们的想象力。因为没有想象力就没有创造力。 演讲完毕，谢谢大家!
good morning, ladies and gentlemen. i’d like to share my teaching dream with you. but before that, i want to say something about the beginning of this dream. in march this year, three teachers from australia came to our school. during the meeting, we exchanged a lot about education. i found that though we have almost the same teaching philosophy, we have different routines. what impressed me most was that their schools end at 3:00 in the afternoon and have no night classes. i can’t tell which kind of routine is better, but the sharp contrast made me think about a better education. the following is a dreamy school in my mind, in which there is no pressure but pleasure.
in this school, the buildings are well designed, close to nature. in the morning, children can read while enjoying the beautiful sunrise. in the evening, they can exercise by the lake reflecting the amazing sunset. in the spring, they can go to the wild, lie on the lawn, and watch the kite flying in the blue sky. in the summer, they can go to the forest, live in a cabin, and listen to the rhythm of the rain. …
students are free but polite and they respect each other. they can leave at 4:00 every afternoon, or perhaps earlier. they have the freedom to organize time. t
Being with the same dormitory in university,one of my classmates,who is from Harbin,never has not phoned his parents.He said that there was no phone at home,It is Ok for him to write to his parents,We are surprised at : "He lives in modern city,Living condition is not bad, Why not instal a telephone?
After the summer vacation,he often went to bed to listen to a tape secretly,which was taken from his home.Sometime he was crying for sadness, We
proposed to borrow his tape to listen, He did not agree.One time when was out,we got the tape under the pillow and put it in the recorder,After we listened to it,it seemed that there was not any voice in it,We are puzzled what he was dealing with the blank tape every night.
In the coming of graduation,he told us about his family, His parents were all deaf and dumb.When he was very young,his father died.To make a living, his mother endured all hardships as well as got the an expression of scorn.For his study,his mother paid much attention to create the best conditions for him.They never had him suffer from the hardship.After their living condition was better,he had to leave his mother to go to university.He said that he often missed her,His achievement was from "Silent Love" of his parents,including his father.I taped the voice of breathing.I listened it every night,feeling parents being with him.
We were deeply moved.Caring from family is the most brilliant sunshine in the world,No natter where we come out far,or fly higher,in the eyes of our parents,we are always the apple of their eye.being cared for every day. Silent love is the most beautiful voice in the world.
My mother is a teacher of primary school. She teaches in countryside, andthere are only several teachers in her school. Therefore, except for math, shealso teaches Chinese and music. My mother is a good teacher and she is popularamong her students. She cares every student in her class, both in study andlife. Her class seems to be relaxed and lively, but students can learn a lotfrom her. To some extend, she is strict to her students. When they make mistakesin study, she would point it out directly and tells the student correct it byhimself or herself firstly. If they can’t, my mother helps them at last. Besidesthe study, my mother is a good teacher in life. She focuses on healthy growth ofher students. So she always cares about their life. No matter what happens tothem, she is ready to listen and help.
我的妈妈是一名小学老师。她在乡村上课，那个学校只有几个老师。因此，除了数学以外，她还教语文和音乐。我的妈妈是一位好老师，在学生中很受欢迎。她关心班上的每一个学生的学习和生活。她的课堂似乎很放松很活跃，但是学生可以从她那学到很多。从某种程度上来说，她对学生很严厉。当他们在学习上犯错的时候，她会直接指出来然后让学生自己先改正过来。如果他们不会，妈妈最后才会帮他们。除了学习之外，我妈妈在生活上也是个好老师。她注重学生的健康成长，所以她总是关心他们的生活。不管他们发生了什么，她总是随时倾听和提供帮助。
尊敬的各位领导、老师：
大家下午好!
我叫，原来在**小学工作，近几年来一直从事小学英语的教学，今年因工作调动，调整到我们**小学工作，我感到非常的高兴，同时，也非常感谢我们学校领导能给我这样一次展示自我、成就自我的机会。我今天我竞聘的岗位是四年级的英语教学。首先我说一下自己的基本情况和工作业绩：我*年毕业于英语系，后分配到召口中学从事英语教学至今，被评为中学一级教师。自工作以来，我一直兢兢业业，勤奋工作，所教科目成绩一直据全镇前列，特别是近几年来从事小学英语教学，所教班级多次获得全镇第一名，个人也多次被评为镇教育先进工作者、优秀教师，区优秀教师，个人年考核优秀等次的荣誉称号，并有多篇论文在市级报纸发表。

The first day for me to go to high school, I felt so excited, because I came into the new stage of my life. The school asked the students to live in the dormitory, so I had to move out and left my parents. This was such a big challenge for me, because I never left home before. I needed to learn to be independent, what’s more, I also learned to get along with others. High school was like a little society for me and I handed the problems well. The other challenge was from study. I had to learn so many subjects and fought for my future college. I met difficulties and felt frustrated, but I told myself not to give up and I got over the difficulties. High school life is not easy, but we grow up quickly.
I have a good friend. She is a girl. And she is pretty. She is very good atEnglish! And her English grades are very well!
My good friend is a student of HengFu Road Middle School in class fivejunior one. She is 13 years old. She is 1 years older than me. And she has twobeautiful eyes. She has a cherry mouth and a little nose. She loves to her smile is very beautiful.

I am very happy to be her friends!

Together forever no matter what happens,and, with a smile,trust thateverything can be soved!
the word wealth always reminds people of money and the sayings or concepts related to money。 for example， “money talks”; “money makes the ghosts turn the mill”; “as birds die for food， so men die for wealth”; “the poor have no friends even though they live in the noisy downtown， while the rich have remote kinsfolk even if they live in the deep mountains”; “poverty chills ambition” “one cent short may put a hero in an awkward situation” etc， etc。。
in the 1980’ s， all shops were state-owned with marked prices。 you couldn’t buy what you wanted with even one cent short， so one cent could indeed embarrass a hero。 a popular song at that time started “i picked up one cent at the roadside， and i handed it over to the policeman…” but now no one cares to pick it up even if it were ten cents。
people’s reverence for money is expressed in varied ways。 the names of companies or stores are often “beer of wealth and honor”， “restaurant of wealth and rank” “store of the aristocrats” “hotel of fame and prestige” etc。 (even some people’s names have the meanings of “full of gold” or “great fortune”)。 at new year’s time， the god of wealth is worshiped and the picture of the god is covered with signs of money。 when a millionaire is walking in the street， people will show their profound respect even though they know very well that they can not get a cent from him。 the english film “the million-pound note” makes a most vivid revelation of this situation。 with the million pound note in hand， the hero has the privilege to buy on credit， or on loan and is even presented money from others。 it’s an idealized end of the story that the hero is still loved by his girl friend even after he lost his million-pound note。 however， without the million-pound note， they couldn’t have known each other。 it’s very difficult for people to make friends directly with beggars。
the song of “all good things must end” in a dream of the red mansions attacks the money worshipers by saying:
“all men long to be immortals
yet silver and gold they prize
and grub for money all their lives
till death seals up their eyes”
but when chen shih-yin tries to expound this song by analyzing the inconstancy of human relationships and the incomprehensible human heart， he has to say:
“while men with gold and silver by the chest
turn beggars， scorned by all and dispossessed”
the conclusion is that it doesn’t work without money。
in spite of the human civilizations over thousands of years， people can not deny the function of money。 this shows how important money is。 money plays a decisive role to individuals， to families and even to countries or nationalities。 otherwise， why is everyone， from doorkeepers to presidents， trying to earn as much as possible? why does every country need chancellors of the exchequer， who keep formulating and revising financial laws and regulations? how different it is to be a creditor nation and a debtor nation! the united states is playing the tyrant just because it is wealthy enough。 a poor man may cherish lofty aspirations， but will probably be beaten because of his poverty。 the afghanistan may have won a lot of sympathy， but how difficult it would be to live solely on charity。
of all ages and in every country， all kinds of corruption stem from money。 no matter how rough the man is， and in what despicable way he earned the money， he can grease the palms of or buy over some very decent officials or even intellectuals。 can you see how crucial a role money is playing? (a case in point is the bankrupt of the company)
some people or organizations like some religious groups claim that they have seen through the human vanity and can take money lightly， but to people’s puzzlement， they are also accumulating money， either to renovate the temples， or to regild buddha’s statues， in whatever pretexts。 they are not engaged in production， so they can only depend on the donations from the devout believers。 sometimes your sincerity relies on whether you donate and how much you donate。 do the monks care about money? the answer is affirmative。 what’s more， many monks are already provided with a salary。
we are living in a material world， and it’s really difficult to deny the function of money or wealth。 we need money for food， clothes， education， hospital， housing and transportation， etc。 there’s rarely anything that doesn’t need money。 what we can discuss now is not the importance of money， but whether money is almighty and whether more wealth can bring us more happiness。
