if you want to understand adversity, take two identical acorns from thesame oak tree and plant them in two different locations. plant the first in themiddle of a dense forest, and the other on a hill by itself.
要是你想理解什么是逆境,就去拿两颗从同一棵树上摘下来年龄相同的橡树果,并且把它们种到不同的地方。第一颗种在浓密的树林当中,而另外一颗则单独种在一座山上。
here's what will happen. the oak standing on a hillside is exposed to everystorm and gale. as a result its roots plunge deep into the earth and spread inevery direction, even wrapping themselves around giant boulders. at times it mayseem the tree isn't growing fast enough—but the growth is happening underground.it's as if the roots know they must ported the tree from the threateningelements.
事情的结果便是这样。那颗长在山上的橡树经历了大风大雨,结果它的根深深地扎进了泥土中间,并不断向四周扩张,甚至把自己置身于巨大的石块当中。有时它可能看起来长的不是很快,但这时它却在地下悄悄生长着,好像它的根知道自己必须快速生长来保护树木免受自然危害的影响。

Good morning !
my great pleasure to share my dream with you today. my dream is to become a teacher....
As the whole world has its boundaries, limits and freedom coexist in our life. I don’t expect complete freedom, which is impossible. I simply have a dream that supports my life.
I dream that one day, I could escape from the deep sea of thick schoolbooks and lead my own life. With my favorite fictions, I lie freely on the green grass, smelling the spring, listening to the wind singing, breathing the fresh and cool air and dissolve my soul in nature at last. Simple and short enjoyment can bring me great satisfaction.
I dream that one day the adults could throw their prejudice of comic and cartoon away. They could keep a lovely heart that can share sorrow and happiness with us while watching cartoon or doing personal things. That’s the real communication of heart to heart.
I have the belief that my dreams should come true. I am looking forward to some day coming when I am like a proud eagle, which flies to the blue and vast sky.

学生、来宾、老师和尊敬的评委
早上好!
我很高兴今天与你分享我的梦想。我的梦想是成为一名教师……
由于整个世界都有它的界限,限制和自由在我们的生活中共存。我不期望完全的自由,这是不可能的。我只是有一个梦想,支持我的生活。
我梦想有一天,我可以摆脱厚厚的教科书,并导致深海我自己的生活。用我最喜欢的小说,我躺在草地上自由地躺在草地上,闻着春天的气息,听着风的歌声,呼吸着清新凉爽的空气,最后把我的灵魂溶解在大自然中。简单的和短期的享受可以给我带来极大的满足感。
我梦想有一天,成年人可以把他们的偏见的漫画和卡通了。他们可以保持一个可爱的心,可以与我们分享悲伤和快乐,而看卡通或做个人的事情。这是心与心的真正交流。
我相信我的梦想会成真。我期待着有一天的到来,当我像一只骄傲的鹰,飞向蓝色和广阔的天空。
Let’s stand up from where we fall down
All the celebrations welcoming the new century were hold in the year 20xx,because life without a greeting is like the sky without the sun.Greetings are very important for the whole world,in my opinion.
But I don't know whether greetings are enough for us.Especially when we meet with failures .I remember quite clearly that when I was a child,if I fall down and was on the brink of crying,my father always told me"Please stand up from where you fall down!"
Yes,we must stand up from where we fall down.
That was a special mid night in 1993.Expectations filled our hearts.
We stared at the TV,hoping excitedly as the voice would fly to our ears.
But at last,each Chinese who loves our motherland was distressed to know the result:Beijing ,lost to Sydeny by a margin of two votes in the Olympic hosting competition.
Eight years have past,but the frustration has not healed with time at all.
Now,at the begining of the new millennium,all of the pride and disappointment of the 20th century had gone with the wind. The 21st century,which is full of hope,longing znd thought has come. Someone said,we would start from zero on.
Should I really start from zero on?
No!I hold that we should go on with our efferts and ambitions stayed by last century,and make our life better.
"New Beijing,Great Olympics!" The voice cries this out around China's captital,a 3,000 -year-old city these days.
Beijing,along with Paris,Istanbul,Osake and Toronto,has been shortlisted by the International Olympic Committee as an official candidate city for the 20xx Olympic Games.
