Thank you. Thank you, President Chen, Chairmen Ren, Vice President Chi, Vice Minister Wei. We are delighted to be here today with a very large American delegation, including the First Lady and our daughter, who is a student at Stanford, one of the schools with which Beijing University has a relationship. We have six members of the United States Congress; the Secretary of State; Secretary of Commerce; the Secretary of Agriculture; the Chairman of our Council of Economic Advisors; Senator Sasser, our Ambassador; the National Security Advisor and my Chief of Staff, among others. I say that to illustrate the importance that the United States places on our relationship with China.
I would like to begin by congratulating all of you, the students, the faculty, the administrators, on celebrating the centennial year of your university. Gongxi, Beida. (Applause.)
As I'm sure all of you know, this campus was once home to Yenching University which was founded by American missionaries. Many of its wonderful buildings were designed by an American architect. Thousands of Americans students and professors have come here to study and teach. We feel a special kinship with you.
I am, however, grateful that this day is different in one important respect from another important occasion 79 years ago. In June of 1919, the first president of Yenching University, John Leighton Stuart, was set to deliver the very first commencement address on these very grounds. At the appointed hour, he appeared, but no students appeared. They were all out leading the May 4th Movement for China's political and cultural renewal. When I read this, I hoped that when I walked into the auditorium today, someone would be sitting here. And I thank you for being here, very much. (Applause.)
Over the last 100 years, this university has grown to more than 20,000 students. Your graduates are spread throughout China and around the world. You have built the largest university library in all of Asia. Last year, 20 percent of your graduates went abroad to study, including half of your math and science majors. And in this anniversary year, more than a million people in China, Asia, and beyond have logged on to your web site. At the dawn of a new century, this university is leading China into the future.
I come here today to talk to you, the next generation of China's leaders, about the critical importance to your future of building a strong partnership between China and the United States.
The American people deeply admire China for its thousands of years of contributions to culture and religion, to philosophy and the arts, to science and technology. We remember well our strong partnership in World War II. Now we see China at a moment in history when your glorious past is matched by your present sweeping transformation and the even greater promise of your future.
Just three decades ago, China was virtually shut off from the world. Now, China is a member of more than 1,000 international organizations -- enterprises that affect everything from air travel to agricultural development. You have opened your nation to trade and investment on a large scale. Today, 40,000 young Chinese study in the United States, with hundreds of thousands more learning in Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America.
Last month, I happened to watch an interview of a Chinese student studying abroad. At one point the hostess asked: "For how long have you been away from home?" "Three years," he said. "How do you keep in touch with your parents?" "We wrote emails," the young man replied proudly. "Then I guess your parents learned how to send an email just because of you, right?" Having heard this from the hostess, the young man was speechless for a long time. Indeed, in the world today, it is not easy for the elder generation to keep up to date with the rapid development of technology.
This story reminded me of my concerns when I first left home for college three years ago: My parents don't understand English. They couldn't identify the buttons marked in English on our remote controls. So when I was away from home, who would help them select Chinese subtitles when they wanted to watch a foreign movie on our DVD? My parents don't use pinyin, the phonetic symbols for Chinese. Therefore, they couldn't input Chinese characters into their cell phones using the keyboard. Without me, whom could they depend on when they needed to reply to a text message? I worried a lot, so before I left, I carefully prepared a flow chart on how to operate the DVD player, and stored as many template messages in my parents' phones as I could possibly think of.
Fortunately, my efforts did work for my parents. However, what makes me more optimistic is that society at large is becoming more concerned about the elder generation, and the fruit of technological innovation is no longer believed to be an asset only for the young people. Today, with simple Chinese instructions on the remote control, even my 80-year-old grandfather can play his favorite TV program on a DVD. Last year, with the money I earned from a part-time job, I bought my mother a new cell phone which supports handwritten messages instead of inputting words through a keyboard. And now, my mother no longer has to use the templates messages I've stored for her, instead, she now sends me messages as long as 300 words. The joy I have when reading those text messages is inexpressible, not only because of the words she writes, but also because our technology has indeed become a real blessing in her life.
Two years ago, the counter service in our neighborhood bank was replaced by an ATM station. With those intelligent machines, people can carry out all their regular banking services. My father, however, was not used to such a change. Thereafter, he always walked three blocks further to a bank with a counter to use their services. In the future, however, this will no longer happen, because when I went to that ATM station again last spring festival, I found a delightful change: the terminals there have adopted a voice guidance system. While I was there, I noticed a grey haired man using the voice instructions. And despite his hesitation between pressing the buttons, he left the bank with a satisfactory smile. What a marvel! My vision for the future was unfolding before my very eyes. At that moment, I rejoiced thinking of my father, someday, standing there using the banking service. I rejoiced thinking of myself that when I become old, the new inventions can still ease my life rather than making the life harder.

My home village is a small one. It’s in Yuxian county of Shanxi Province. Small as it is， it’s very beautiful.
There are many hills around my home village and they are more beautiful than some big mountains. In spring， we can fly kites which are made by ourselves on the top of the hills. The kites fly very high.In summer， the trees are green and the grass is green， too. It is green everywhere on the hills. There are so many wild apple trees on the hills. The wild apples are nice to eat. In autumn， the corns under and around the hills are ripe. So we eat them almost every day. In winter， when it snows， all the ground is covered with snow. We can play with snow and sometimes we eat the clean snow with sugar. In my hometown the sky is blue， the air is clean， the water is sweet and the people are very frily. I love my hometown!
I live in this space of radical love and gratitude. Truly, I live the most beautiful life that you can imagine. I sit around trying to imagine: Who can have a better life? Whatever you imagine my life to be like…it’s always ten times better than whatever you think! It’s true! It’s not because I have wealth—although I love money, money’s fabulous, I love it—and that I get a lot of attention, which is also times. It’s because I had appreciation for the small steps, the seeds that were planted, the maps of my life that unfolded because I was paying attention. You have to pay attention to your life, because it’s speaking to you all the time. That led me to a path made clear.
So that is what I’m wishing for you today: Your own path made clear. I know there’s a lot of anxiety about what the future holds and how much money you’re gonna make, but your anxiety does not contribute one iota to your progress, I gotta tell you. Look at how many times you were worried and upset—and now you’re here today. You made it. You’re going to be okay.
Take a deep breath with me right now and repeat this: Everything is always working out for me. That’s my mantra—make it yours. Everything is always working out for me. Because it is, and it has, and it will continue to be as you forge and discover your own path. But first: You do need a job. And may I say, it doesn't have to be your life’s mission, our your greatest passion, but a job that pays your rent and lets you move out of your parents house—because yes, they are tired of taking care of you, and they’re hoping this CC education will pay off! And it will in ways that you can’t imagine.
Parkour is a sport activity with the purpose of moving from one place to another as efficiently and quickly as possible,using only the physical skills of the human body.It is used to overcome obstacles,which can be any obstacle in the environment on fences and stone,to pillars,walls and bars and can be practiced both in urban areas and rural areas.
Founded by David Belle in France,parkour focuses on efficient movements to develop the training of the body and mind,to be prepared to overcome obstacles in an emergency.Can also be a form of entertainment or a way to spend your free time.This sport is also called l’art du deplacement / the art of movement / art movement or even free-running.The term “parkour” is derived from the French “parcours go combattant” in translation meaning “to overcome an obstacle” .
Free running is the term used by Sebastien Foucan in Jump London documentary to refer to parkour,term which later came to describe a sport based on acrobatics,different from the original discipline Le Parkour.
Practitioners of this discipline are called tracers .The sport is practiced mainly in urban areas,involving jumps in,on,through and around obstacles such as railings,stairs,pillars,,trees,buildings,etc..They consider this kind of training a way of liberation from the constraints imposed by other sports and one standard for overcoming the induced limitations .
Parkour is classified as “wow!” an extreme sports.Practicing this discipline does not require wearing special equipment,sites developed,prepared before or other obstacles.Parkour is very simple,fluid movement from one place to another,to which are added run speed,climbing,jumping,spectacular and efficient movement,imagination,improvisation and other complex techniques.If sport “parkour” performed by you does not include items listed above,then you are doing fitness.

Today is Monday; I wake up at 6 o’clock in the morning. Then I have my breakfast at home and take the subway to school. I am quite excited about this day, because our chemistry teacher will teach us to do an interesting experiment. This experiment is about how to create soap. Last week, the chemistry teacher promised that we would have something fun in this week. Making our own special soap is the mission in this class.
When the experience begins, the whole class is very exciting; we mix the oil, water and lye. You need to be very careful, because the lye is harmful to the skin. Then we will stir the oil and lye for about ten minutes, the chemistry reaction will make the liquid into solid. Then the soap comes into being. Although the process is tired, we have a lot of fun. The most important thing is we learn how to make soap. The time passes so quickly, we feel very busy but learn a lot of useful things.
今天是星期一，我早上六点就起床了。再吃过了早餐之后，我搭地铁去学校。对于今天要做的事情，我很兴奋。因为我们的化学老师要教我们做个有趣的实验。这个实验就是如何制作肥皂。上个星期，化学老师向我们保证这周会做个有趣的实验，而创造出属于自己的一块肥皂就是这次课的主要内容。
当实验开始的时候，整个班级都很兴奋。我们把油、水和碱液混合在一起。你必须非常小心，因为碱液会腐蚀皮肤。然后我们就开始搅拌液体。大约10分钟过后，发生的化学反应就把液体变成了固体，肥皂就形成了。虽然这个过程很累，但是我们得到了很多乐趣。最重要的是我们学会了如何制作肥皂。时间过得太快，我们感觉很忙碌，但也学到了很多有用的东西。
good afternoon，ladies and gentlemen！
i’m very honored to stand here and give you a short speech！ to begin with ，i want to ask a question 。does everybody dream a good dream last night？ actually ，today i want to talk about dream with you。 of course， what i want to talk is not a dream you have last night，but a dream—— about life。
everyone has dreams about life， different dreams at different life stage，and we need dreams to support us。 dreams are like the stars we never reach in the sky，but like most mariners，we can chart our course by them。 with the dream，we have a direction，with a direction， we were no longer confused。with the dream， there is hope，with hope， we have the strength to fight。
i have a dream： to be a doctor。，because doctor may relieve the pain of patients。 may let the human change the health。 at the same time， i believed that， those who help others may be able to obtain joyfully。 therefore， i hoped in the near future ，i might be a doctor。
but i know，life is tough，and there are always ups and downs， maybe we fail in the way to our aims，and we may feel depressed ，whenever at this time， the dream in our heart can always comfort us， encourage us ，and support us to move ahead 。
young！fortunately， i am young now。 just due to it， i know that nothing is impossible。i firmly believe that nothing can stand in my way。 if i can't realize my dream，it result from that i haven't work harder enough and i won't find other excuses。 if no people believe you， you can make it to prove that you are right。 if you think the god haven't blessed you and there is no truth here， you can become the god and create the truth。
"my breath swallows the sky and make the yellow river overflow， my sword is famous in kyushu and it can collapse the five sacred mountains。" at some time in the past i also had am bitious words and i had some achievements。 each achievement results from my hard work。 i always believe that "if you want to have more achievements than others， you must work harder。" in some extent， the dream is the hope。 if you can insist on doing something， the victory will come。
hold fast to dreams， for if dreams die， life is a broken—winged bird that cannot fly。 hold fast to dreams， for when dreams go， life is a barren field frozen with snow。 so my dear friends， think of your old and maybe dead dreams。 whatever it is， pick it up and make it alive from today。 let's——— move ————out！
thank you for your listening！
best wishes！
Because we all stem from Africa. So in Africa, there's been more time to create genetic diversity." In other words, race has no basis in biological or scientific fact. On the one hand, result. Right? On the other hand, my definition of self just lost a huge chunk of its credibility. But what was credible, what is biological and scientific fact, is that we all stem from Africa -- in fact, from a woman called Mitochondrial Eve who lived 160,000 years ago. And race is an illegitimate concept which our selves have created based on fear and ngely, these revelations didn't cure my low self-esteem, that feeling of otherness. My desire to disappear was still very powerful. I had a degree from Cambridge; I had a thriving career, but my self was a car crashand I wound up with bulimia and on a therapist's couch. And of course I did. I still believed my self was all I was. I still valued self-worth above all other worth, and what was there to suggest otherwise?
It has an extremely important function. Without it, we literally can't interface with others. We can't hatch plans and climb that stairway of popularity, of successBut my skin color wasn't right. My hair wasn't right. My history wasn't right. My self became defined by otherness, which meant that, in that social world, I didn't really exist. And I was "other" before being anything else -- even before being a girl. I was a noticeable her world was opening up around this time: performance and dancing. That nagging dread of self-hood didn't exist when I was dancing. I'd literally lose myself. And I was a really good dancer. I would put all my emotional expression into my dancing. I could be in the movement in a way that I wasn't able to be in my real life, in myself.
I’m very honored to stand here and give you a short speech！ my topic is Opportunities and Challenges.
First， I would like to know， what does your destiny offer you？ Happiness， wisdom， a strong body or something else. If I had asked this question to president Nixon， he would probably had said，”Our destiny offers not the cup of despair， but the chalice of opportunity.”
Needless to say， one of the biggest opportunities given to China is the 20__ Olympic Games. Till now， we have used two sevenths of the preparation time. How much changes have you seen？ New roads， new subway lines， public—exercising equipments with beautiful colors， large blocks of grass fields， and also lots of modern gyms which are under construction.
Other than those， there are even more good effects brought to us by the Olympic Games that cannot be seen directly. For example， more and more people will get to know China. I’m sure the mysterious Chinese culture will attract them strongly. And the games will also do good to the economy and environment， for it is gaining the attention of foreign investors and the awareness of environmental protection is being strengthened. What is more， Olympic Games give a unique opportunity to inspire and educate a new generation of Chinese youth with the Olympic values and the Olympic spirit. Now that we have seen so many advances， could you even imagine us losing the holding rights？
I’ve already said a lot about the Olympics and China. But I think everyone should use some time to think of this question， ”Does the Olympic Games have any special meaning to you？”
For us， I mean the Chinese youth， 20__ Olympic Games is a tremendous gift. Because what we are waiting for is to do something significant as repaying the love given to us .The society is just like a ship， and in our dreams the captain is waving his hand and saying ”Hey！ Come here and take the helm！ ”How charming his voice is， but we have never heard of it in our true life. This morning， however， when we wake up， we will see the Olympic Games waving its hand. After chewing， most of us will have at least one plan about what to do for the Olympic Games. And mine is to be a “comforter” ————that is someone who will give comfort to others.
At the end of my speech， I hope all the preparation will go well， and everyone will show their ability to the world. Let us seize opportunities and give a big smile to challenges.
ladies and gentlemen,
i have had a lot of teachers in my school who have given me much help in my study.
for their help i will never forget them.
but today i am going to talk about a special teacher of mine.
this teacher is not a human being and its name is“computer”.
it has been teaching me a lot of knowledge and i appreciate it very much.
with the development of modern science and technology, computers are widely used in every teritories (1) including education.
how can a computer be my teacher? how does a computer teach me? multimedia(多媒体)helps a lot in this aspect in recent years, and computer-based training (cbt) has become a popular educational medium (手段).
even before the multimedia come (2) up, many different learning systems appeared, using the components and techniques we now associate with the term “multimedia”.
multimedia components, such as graphics (动画) , animations , sound and video, make the learning process easier through visualization.
animations can present many complex subjects dynamically, but human teachers can not do this on blackboards.
multimedia makes our study more lively and interesting.
for example, a cd-rom disk named “encarta encyclopedia” contains 650 mb information including images, graphics, music clips, video clips, animations , texts, hotwords, and database search functions.
fields involved includes physical sciences, performance arts, social sciences, politics, military, education and so on.
when pressing a button, i can hear american president clintons speech clip.
i may enjoy playing all kinds of musical instruments in the world.
i can also see the animation of many physical phenomena.
this makes physical concept to be understood deeply (3).
the audio features of multimedia can greatly help me learning (4) foreign languages.
with its speech output capabilities, im no longer dependent on an instructor for proper pronunciation.
how can i interact with a computer? there are many ways, including keyboard, mouse pointer, and touch screen.
i often use a keyboard.
when i press right keys, i can see and hear whatever i want.
information world is at my fingertip.
i wish that true speech input-output system would be invented one day.
as teachers, computers have a lot of virtues： they are positive, they have good memories and never lose any information stored in them.
Good morning everyone,
today is my turn to the speech. First of all, I would like to say that a quick test, we hope that the good preparation, good test for all, is the only way home for a good year. My English is not high, I wish I could within the next two years to learn English well. I hope you will be able to learn English after graduation to have a good future.
Finally, I wish the students and teachers a happy new year, further study and work. Well! I finished the speech. Thank you for listening.
大家早上好，
今天是我演讲的时候。首先，我想说的是一个快速测试，我们希望好的准备，良好的测试所有，是唯一的回家的好一年。我的英语不高，我希望我能在未来的两年内学好英语。我希望你毕业后能学好英语，有一个美好的未来。
最后，祝同学们和老师们新年快乐，学习和工作更加深入。好!我完成了演讲。谢谢你的倾听。
环保问题:
As is apparently revealed in the pie charts above, forty-eight percent ofpeople surveyed have never heard of the International No Motor Vehicle Day whilefifty-seven percent are willing to give up driving on such a day. What isbetrayed in the pie charts is most thought-provoking.
The implied meaning of the pie charts is both disappointing and exciting.On the one hand, much necessary work still needs to be done with respect toenvironmental protection. The public ignorance of relevant environmentalprotection results from inadequate and limited popularity of environmentalprotection knowledge by relevant government departments at different levels.Since environmental protection is an international issue, we must constantlyintroduce the advanced and practical practice in other countries to our generalpublic. Only in this way can we promote environmental protection in China. Onthe other hand, the enhancement of the public awareness of environmentalprotection is a welcome development. Over the past years, as people’s livingstandard improves, people attach more importance to the quality of their life.They have a better understanding of the relationship between environment andtheir daily life. As a result, they are more interested in following positiveinternational models. In sum, we have got a mixed feeling toward the very factrevealed in the pie charts.
In my view, necessary measures should be immediately taken to ensure a niceenvironment. First of all, government departments at all levels must play a moreactive role in popularizing international experience and practice ofenvironmental protection. What’s more, the general public should be encouragedto participate more actively in environmental protection. Only in this way canwe live in a healthy and harmonious environment. (278 words)
My Dream
I dream of being a doctor.
My mother is a doctor. She always has to wor k extra hours and comes home late and tired. She has to go to the hospital immediately any time she is needed, no matter how late it is at night. When I was very little , I once asked her why she chose such a boring and hard job. S he answered with a smile, “Yes I am sometim es very tired but seeing my patients getting b etter and better makes me happy from the bot tom of my heart.”
As I grow up, I gradually come t o understand her words and realize doctors are noble. I ma de up my mind to be a doctor when I was in ju nior school and this has never changed since then.
I really hope to see a world where there is no cancer, no Aids, no fatal disease, no one suffe ring from illness. But this is only a fantasy. W hat about the reality? There are still many ma ny people who are faced with disastrous dise ase and suffering from constant pain. There a re still many many people living in miserable condition and live miserably. There are still m any many people dying of cancer and leaving the beautiful world reluctantly. All those thing s make me feel sad because I think everyone has the right to live . I want to help the sick an d reduce their pain as much as I can. I want t o bring a healthy body to the patients and sav e their lives as many as I can. I want to see pe ople cured ,living happily with their families a nd friends after my treatment. So I want to be a doctor ,an angel in white.
When I become a doctor, I will cherish each lif e regardless of the races, sexes, ages, positio ns and occupations. I will do every bit to cure the incurable.
I already have a dream in my heart,so I have t o make every effort to realize it.【As a high sc hool student now,I will seize every chance to study hard,arm myself with knowledge, prepa re myself for the future and strive for my drea ms.（ 可以省略）】I will be determined, face the reality bravely and not surrender to any pr oblems I meet.
Just as Gothe says,“The important thing in lif e is to have a great aim and be determined to attain it.”Being a doctor is my dream. I think it is simple but meanful
Time flies. In a twinkling of an eye， four years later， I am no longer the kid playing hide and seek， nor the coquettish little girl lying in her mothers arms. On this day， I bid farewell to my alma mater for four years and walked into the gate of No.3 middle school with my perfect vision for the future.
Coming to the new school， my first feeling is fresh. The campus is so clean and tidy， with wide playground and bright classroom； there are amiable teachers and friendly students， which makes me believe that I am not in the wrong place. I like the environment there. There are plants and trees for company. There are classmates who care for each other. There are teachers who teach me carefully. Such a beautiful school， such a brand—new classroom， such a kind family， really let me surging new tide.
When you come to a new school， you should have a new look. In a year there， I will make up for my own shortcomings. Its not enough to attend all kinds of lectures， but also to pay attention to the teachers speeches I understand that it will be very difficult to do this. As long as you work hard， persevere and never shrink back， you will succeed.
I understand that everyones mind is not the same， the new semester everyone has their own plan， lets join hands to advance towards the goal of self！
good morning/evening/afternoon, ladies and gentlemen :
today, my speech is about talents,in my opionion, talents are indispensable in nowadays society. as is known to all that the fight among countries is actually the fight among talents.
first, i'd like to define the word"talent" in my idea, a talent is one person who is good at or expertised in some or multiple areas. nowadays, as the world developing goes on , if one country want to rank top or do a good job in the world, the country must have many talents.for example, china, the biggest developing country in the world, in the past 100 years, is always invaded by other countries, why ,the reason is that china at that time had not so many talents. if they had anti-intrusion leader talents in the war, needless to say,they would have beat those big powers.if they had talents in weapons manufacturing, nodody dares to provoke us.however, nowadays, it's a totally different situation, china has become powerfulin all over the world, why ? because there are many talents serving the country, the civilians become more and more literated.more and more people go to university,more and more people come to receive further education. so what is that in return,talents in army protect our country from invasion, talents in commerce help make our economy keep in improving, talents in aerospace make the world see chinese manned spacecraft flying. talents in sports make china rank the first in the olympic games……
to sum up, talents will play a more and more impoetant role in the world, if one country intends to flourish, he must foster talents as many as they can ,that's all,thank you.
with the development of science and technology, change has penetrated into every aspect of our daily life. to illustrate that, i'd like to make a comparison of these two seemingly insignificant things: milkman and mailman, whose differences indicate our changing way of living with the times.
home milk delivery has almost gone extinct in china now, also gone with it are the milkmen, who once delivered bottled fresh milk door-to-door. on the other hand, mailman's business or the courier service has thrived as online shopping gains popularity. however, in retrospect, i find something has been lost in this transition, something shakespeare called as “the milk of human kindness”。
when i was a kid, milk wasn't for sale everywhere. for the families who need it, they depended on the milkmen to take it from the local dairy farms to their houses. in our neighborhood, there was such a milkman, whose arrival was much anticipated by the children and always brought us laughter and joy. he knew the name of every kid and could easily see through our tricks. if we didn't behave, he would side with our parents and threaten to rob us of the nutritious drink. the entire neighborhood was acquainted with him; saw him as a member of the community just like the many residents or street vendors. there was a bond between all of us for it was not only the commodities that been transacted, but also a sense of caring and dependability. and that small box fixed onto our door, other than being a drop-off point for milk; it was a communication junction between the people as we took the initiative to reach out to others.
fast forward to today, milk is ubiquitous with no dedicated delivery system. but the convenience level of our live has gone up a notch. almost everything is for sale online, which spares us all the travelling and talking. with a few ready clicks, shopping is done. the rest is left for those speed delivery companies. usually it's a grumpy mailman, who reaches us throuugh cell phone, urging everyone to pick up their parcels as soon as possible. and the minute the receipt is signed, we rush back to unpack while the courier dashes to the next destination. there is barely a conversation carried out, nor do we feel the need to talk to such a stranger, who changes from time to time frequently. it seems that people are always in a hurry now, though we have more conveniences, still we run short of time to stop and stare, to speak and share.
call me an old-timer, but i think the personal touch represented by the milkman is what has been missing in the modern society. william wordsworth once wrote that “getting and spending, we lay waste our powers.” modern technology may have multiplied our possessions or gave us more conveniences, but we run the risk of reducing our values if we lay waste our power of interpersonal relationships.
Once, my foreign teacher asked us a question“Do you think worrying tomorrow is a good thing?”, I think about this question many times, my answer is absolutely “yes”, but enjoying this moment is more important. In China, it is a tradition that people save the money for tomorrow, so they spend less money; they only buy the things they need, then saving the rest of the money for emergency. In my opinion, people can take out small portion of the emergency money; they can make themselves live more comfortable, they can enjoy the life at this moment. My parents never travel, they think it is a way of wasting money, they consider the money should be used in a suitable way; they save it just in case the emergency. We should learn to make fun, who knows what will happen tomorrow, enjoying the moment makes the life colorful.
曾经，我的外语老师问过我们一个问题“你觉得担忧明天是好事情吗?”我考虑过这个问题很多次了，我的答案是坚定的，但是享受当下时刻更重要。在中国，人们会为将来存钱，这个一个传统，因此他们很少花钱，钱只花在他们需要的东西上面，然后省下剩下的钱来应急。在我看来，人们可以拿出应急那部分钱中的一小部分，以此来让自己过得更舒适，他们可以享受当下的生活。我的父母从来不旅游，他们觉得这是浪费钱的方式，他们觉得钱应该用在更恰当的地方，他们把钱存起来只是为了应急。我们应该学着去创造乐趣，谁会知道明天会发生什么事情呢，享受当下让生活多姿多彩。
good evening ,ladies and gentlemen: 晚上好，女士们，先生们：
thank you very much for choosing to come in such a cold night.today my topic is about choice and process.a research shows that a man has to make 73 choices one day.with so many choices one day, people easily get so confused and afraid of making wrong choice that they hesitate and finally miss the true part of life. in my opinion, the following part is of much more importance than the choice. there is no absolute right or wrong choice but wonderful or boring life, which the process makes the difference. 非常感谢你傅聪来选择在这样一个寒冷夜晚.今天我的话题是关于选择和process.a研究表明，一个人必须作出的选择73一一天，如此众多的选择，有一天，人们容易混淆，因此害怕作出错误的选择，他们毫不犹豫地并最终错过了真正的生活的一部分。在我看来，下面的部分是更重要的不是选择。没有绝对的对错选择，但精彩或乏味的生活，这使得该进程的差异。
life is a box of chocolate,you never know what you will get. forrest gump made no decision by and for himself but he accomplished great success with his strong will in the process. the process is not the road itself but the attitudes and feelings ,the caution, courage and persistance we have as we encounter new experience and unexpected obstacles. take myself as an example, i changed my major when i became a postgraduate. after the choice,days have been harsh for me.i cannot understand the new lessons at all. for they are closely related to mathmatics which i learned nothing about before. however wuth the belief that this is the great chance for me to experience new ideas and challenge myself,i persisted. i asked for help from every channel and reorgonized my life. gradually i could understand some parts and even found maths interesting.moreover, i learned to act instead of complaining. in retrospect,the choice left no trace in my mind but the happiness and bitterness of the past four months becomes an unforgetable experience in my life.
生活是一盒巧克力，你永远不知道下一步你会得到。阿甘正传作出任何决定，并为自己的成就，但他取得巨大成功与他坚强的意志的进程。这个过程是不是道路本身，而是态度和感情，谨慎，勇气和毅力，我们作为我们遇到了新的经验和意想不到的障碍。以自己作为一个例子，我改变了我的主要当我成为一个研究生。经过选择，天已经严厉的me.i无法理解新的经验在所有。因为他们是密切相关的数学，我的教训面前只字不提。然而密集的信念，这是很好的机会，我的经验新思想和新的挑战我自己，我依然存在。我要求帮助每一个通道和reorgonized我的生活。渐渐地，我能理解一些地方，甚至发现数学
interesting.moreover ，我学到采取行动而不是抱怨。回想起来，选择没有留下任何痕迹在我的脑海，但幸福和痛苦的过去4个月成为一个难忘的经验，我的生活。
no matter what the choice is, enjoy the process. in the process, your potential will be inspired and new discoveries,improvement and progress will come to you. these are the most beautiful sceneries and only on the way can you see it.these make your life colorful.
无论选择是，享受这一过程。在这个过程中，您可能会得到启发和新发现，改善和进步将来找你。这些都是最美丽的风景，只有道路上能看到it.these让您的生活多姿多彩。

A Brother Like That
A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it.
Is this your car, Mister? he said.
Paul nodded. My brother gave it to me for Christmas. The boy was astounded. You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn t cost you nothing? Boy, I wish . . . He hesitated.
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels. I wish, the boy went on, That I could be a brother like that.
Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, Would you like to take a ride in my car?
Oh yes, Id love that.
After a short ride, the boy turned with his eyes aglow, said, Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. Will you stop where those two steps are? the boy asked.
He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car.
There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn t cost him a cent. And some day Im gonna give you one just like it . . . then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that Ive been trying to tell you about. Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride. That Christmas Eve, Paul learned
what Jesus meant when he said: It is more blessed to give . . .
翻译：像这样的哥哥
我的一个朋友叫保罗，他哥哥送给他的一辆汽车作为圣诞礼物。在圣诞前夜，当保罗走出办公室时，一个男孩正在一辆闪闪发亮的新车走来走去，他正在欣赏它。
这是你的车吗，先生?他说.
保罗点了点头。我哥哥送给我的圣诞节礼物。男孩很惊讶。你是说你哥哥给了你，你什么也没花吗?男孩，我希望。..他犹豫了一下。
当然，保罗知道他想要什么。他要希望他有一个像那样的哥哥。但这个小家伙说的话却大大出乎保罗的脚后跟。我希望，男孩继续说，我可以是这样的一个哥哥。
保罗惊愕地看着那男孩，冲口而出地说：你要不要坐我的车去兜风吗?
哦，是的，Id爱说。
过了一会儿，男孩转过头来，眼睛闪闪发亮，说：“先生，你介意开车经过我家门口吗?
保罗微微一笑。他认为他知道孩子想要什么。他想告诉他的邻居，他可以乘坐一辆大汽车回家。但保罗又错了。你会停在这两个步骤的地方吗?男孩问。
他跑上台阶。过了一会儿，保罗听到他回来了，但他不快来了。他带着他的小弟弟。他让他坐在最底层的一步，然后对他挤了一点，指着车。
她在那里，Buddy，就像我告诉你的楼上。他哥哥送给他一个圣诞节礼物，花了一分钱也不给他。总有一天我会给你一个就像它。..然后你可以看到你自己所有的漂亮的东西在圣诞节的窗口，我一直试图告诉你。保罗走了出来，把孩子抱到车的前座上。闪亮的眼睛的哥哥爬在他旁边，他们的三个开始了一个难忘的假期。那个圣诞夜，保罗学会了
Jesus说的是什么意思：给予更多的祝福。..
Ladies and gentlemen ,
Good evening ,I am joy and glad to give you a speech about stress , yes , just the topic you see on the screen.
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 comes 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 .
While study , having to take various tests and submit a project against a deadline may put a great pressure on us .And the things make us felt stressed may be our parents’s greater expectations on us than we could reach .Later , when we are likely to graduate , some other problems will also annoy us .
I think we will worry a lot about our ability to compete in the job market and how we can best use what we’ve learned at college in our future job .The chief problem we should face to is our atitude towards stress .people usually say they can not live in the sun except they escape from stress .It’s unwelcome ! yes , however , very necessary .Just image a world where stress does not exist and people lead their life in a very comfortable way .But is this kind of living condition as perfect as we hope ?
without stress , they may feel very satisfied with the current life but lack of power to discover new things .Too much satisfaction result in nothing except a countermarch of the society .No stress , no development .So a certain amount of stress is good .
It can stimulate us and increase our level of alertness .And our answer to stress is another vital problem .How to do with ourselves when stress suddenly break into our life ? to wave the white flag and admit our unability , to give up to our ideality , or worstly , just to suicide as to put an end to everything …
of cause not .The principle is to tackle with stress gentlely and harmoniously.We should try our best to release ourselves .
Such as to do some exercise , to linsen to traditional chinese music or classical music to ease our minds 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 .
Ok , i think i was under large stress 3 minutes before , but now i am here and have finished my speech .
Hello everyone!
I have a dream that one day every vally shall be exalted，every hill and mountain shall be made low，the rough places will be made plain，and the crooked places will be made straight，and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed，and all flesh shall see it together.
Wow，what a dream it has been for Martin Luther King. But the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up，and sometimes I personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.
However，we meed dreams. They nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. They keep us going. Most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great. When we were little kids，we all dreamed of doing something big and splashy，something significant. Now what we need to do is to maintain them，refresh them and turn them into reality. However，the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how to translate these dreams into actions. Well，just start with concrete objectives and stick to it. Don’t let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong belief of future. Through our talents，through our wits，through our endurance and through our creativity，we will make it.
Hold fast to dreams，for if dreams die，life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams，for when dreams go，life is a barren field frozen with snow. So my dear friends，think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever it is，pick it up and make it alive from today.
Thank you!
good morning, dear teachers and fellow students. it’s my great honor to stand here and share a happy morning with you. i am no. _____ . today my topic is “ so much to learn.”
hello! my dear friends !do you like reading books? i guess all of you will say yes. am i right? thanks to books, we have got a lot of knowledge. on the other hand, tv is another way of getting knowledge. i still remember: last year, i watched an exciting speech on tv. it was given by american president obama, i could feel his great charm. i admire him. yeah, at that time i made a decision: i try to learn english well and some day i can have a talk with him. however, it’s a pity that my english is not so perfect. what can i do? how can i do it? ah, so much to learn. don’ t lose heart! just do it! i say to myself aloud. if you set up your mind to learn it, you will get much knowledge. i am sure you will achieve your goal.
ok! so much knowledge for us to learn. we should do our best to learn it. we must try our best to learn it as much as possible. because knowledge can make us be learned and wise; because knowledge can make our country develop very fast; because knowledge can make our world be in harmony. ok! let’s keep trying!
as you know, now i am a junior high school student. my school life is very wonderful and there are so many interesting subjects for us to learn, such as chinese, english, maths, history, and so on. ok, let me tell you something about my school life. i hope you will enjoy it. in my chinese lesson, i can recite the old wise sayings: “ isn’t it a pleasure that friends come to see you from far away?” “ what you know, you know; what you don’t know, you don’t know.” these words are so educational. meanwhile, i like english very much. in my english class, i try to practice my oral english. ok, i have a dream that some day i can travel around the world and make many foreign friends. all right! history lessons bring us much enjoyment, and i can have a talk with the great people in history, such as conficius, qinshihuang, dr.sun yat-sen, and so on.
at last, i would like to say, we shouldn’t waste time, life is limited while knowledge is boundless. aha, there is so much to learn. maybe you like reading; maybe you like singing;… maybe you have a lot of other hobbies, it doesn’t matter, if you like it, just learn it. just do it. don’t hesitate. knowledge is power. there is no choice but to learn. what’s more, you are never too old to learn. am i right? my friends, open your eyes, can you see the flame of knowledge burning forever? yeah, i can see it. i can see it clearly. come on, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen. let’s swim in the ocean of knowledge; let’s climb on the top of knowledge. at that time, you will be a learned person with much knowledge. you will be the happiest person in the world.
Its my honor to speak here and I am very glad to share my topic with all of you. Today Id like to talk about “my dream”. I do not just have one dream， in fact， I have three. They are： a healthy life， a happy family and to travel my great country.
I have always admired the long healthy life my grandparents have. They are older than 80 years of age and they are still alive and kicking！ How do they do that！？ My grandparents plant vegetables and grow rice themselves； even in their old age they still make food for themselves！ I guess that is why they can remain healthy. More importantly they remain humble and never ask for too much from life. Perhaps that makes them common， but they live a happy life. My grandmother once told me this：” I do not want to live long， only long enough for some grand children to be running around in my house”. I want to live a long， healthy and happy life just as they have.
Since my graduation from primary school， until now， every time on my birthday I make the same wish. I wish my parents will not fight anymore. I am not complaining that they gave me a bad childhood， they just fight so much！ I am unhappy but that does not mean they do not love me. They do！ They love me with all their heart. I love my parents also； I want them to live a happy life as well.
I want to travel this great country of ours. I want to see the beauty of our country. I want to see the miracles that made this country great！ I want to go from the east to west， from the north all the way down to the south！ I have a dream， that one day I can travel and see my country with my family and friends！ If that is not possible， seeing my country on my own is good enough also. If I can fulfill all three of my dreams in life， then God can take me away. I would be happy， and l would have lived a full and prosperous life.
Thank you everyone for listening to my dreams.
