It was New Year's night. An aged man was standing at a window. He raisedhis mournful eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating likewhite lilies on the surface of a clear calm lake. When he cast them on theearth, where few more hopeless people than himself now moved towards theircertain goal—the tomb. He had already passed sixty of the stages leading to it,and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and remorse. Now hishealth was poor, his mind vacant, his heart sorrowful, and his old age short ofcomforts.
这是新年的夜晚。一位老人站在窗边，忧伤的眼睛眺望着深蓝的天空。空中的繁星犹如漂浮在清澈如镜的湖面上的朵朵百合。他慢慢将目光投向地面，此刻，没有什么人比他还绝望，迈向他最终的归宿--坟墓。他已走过通向坟墓的六十级台阶，除了错误和悔恨，他一无所获。现在，他体弱多病，精神空虚，心哀神伤，人到晚年无慰藉。
The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled theserious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads--oneleading to a peaceful,sunny place, covered with flowers, fruits and resoundingwith soft, sweet songs;the other leading to a deep , dark cave, which wasendless, where poison flowed instead of water and where devils and poisonoussnakes hissed and crawled.
年轻岁月，如梦般展现在他面前，老人想起父亲把他带到岔路口的那个庄严时刻--一条路通向安宁，快乐的世界，鲜花遍布，果实丰硕，甜美轻柔的歌声在空中回荡;另一条路则通向幽深黑暗，没有尽头的洞穴，洞内流淌着的不是水而是毒液，群魔乱舞，毒蛇嘶嘶爬动。
He looked towards the sky and cried painfully," O, youth, return! O, myfather,place me once more at the entrance to life, and I'll choose the betterway!" But both his father and the days of his youth had passed away.
他仰望星空，痛苦的大喊：”啊，青春，回来吧!啊，父亲，再一次带我到人生的岔路口吧，我会选一条更好的道路。“但是，他的父亲和青春岁月都已经一去不复返了。
He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness. These were the days of hiswasted life;he saw a star fall from the sky and disappeared, and this was thesymbol of himself. His remorse, which was like a sharp arrow, struck deeply intohis heart. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood, who entered lifetogether with him. But they had made their way to success and were now honoredand happy on this New Year's night.
他看到亮色在黑暗中流逝，就像他挥霍掉的往昔;他看到一颗流星自天边坠落，消失不见，就像是他的化身。无尽的悔恨，像一支利箭，深刺心间。他又记起和自己一同迈入人生之途的儿时玩伴。但他们已功成名就，在这个新年之夜，倍受尊崇，幸福快乐。
The clock in the high church tower struck and the sound made him rememberhis parents' early love for him. They had taught him and prayed to God for hisgood. But he chose the wrong way. With shame and grief he dared no longer tolook towards the heaven where his father lived. His darkened eyes were full oftears, and with a despairing effort, he burst out a cry:" Come back, my earlydays! Come back!"
高高的教堂钟楼传来敲钟声，这声音使他记起父母早年对他的疼爱。他们教育他，为他祈祷。然而，他却选择了错误的道路。羞愧和悲哀使他再也没有勇气仰望父亲所在的天堂。黯淡的双眼噙满了泪水，他绝望地嘶声大呼：”回来吧，我的往昔!回来吧!”
And his youth did return,for all this was only a dream, which he had on NewYear's night. He was still young though his faults were real; he had not yetentered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road whichleads to the peaceful and sunny land.
他的青春真的回来了，所有这些只是一个梦，一个他在新年之夜所做的梦。他仍然年轻，虽然他犯的错误是真实的;他尚未走入那幽深黑暗的洞穴，还有自由选择通向安宁，快乐的道路。
Those who still linger on the entrance of life, hesitating to choose thebright road, remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble on thedark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain. "O youth, return! Oh give meback my early days!"
仍在人生路口徘徊，仍在为是否应当选择光明坦途而犹豫不决的人们啊，请记住：当青春不再，当你的双脚在黑暗的山岭间跌绊时，你会痛苦地呼喊”啊，青春，回来吧!啊，还给我往昔吧!“此时，一切已是徒劳。
failure is so common in our life. no one can avoid it. when we fail in doing something, we often feel so depressed that we have no interest in other things. sometimes failure can also make us lose heart. therefore, no one wants to be a failure.
success is what we all hope for, because it can bring us a sense of pride and a good reputation. the moment we succeed, we always feel so proud, as if having everything in our hands. if one enjoys his continuous success in his career, he will be famous and worshiped by others.
however, failure is the mother of success. one failure doesn’t mean you can never be successful. it depends on what we do to deal with failure. those who are always afraid of failure and can’t go through it will never win. but as long as we can get some lessons and experience from our failure, we’ll be sure to succeed.

梦想，就像理想的风筝，带着我们对蓝天向往起飞，翱翔。我的梦想就是成为一名伟大的科学家，为人民造福。
记得有一次，我和爸爸打完羽毛球回家，发现竟然停电了。吹不了风扇，就只能吹自然风了。我又和爸爸用湿毛巾搓身了。上搓搓，下搓搓，可还是照样汗流浃背的，十分难受。
从这以后，我明白了科学家的伟大。有了梦想，更喜欢读书了。科学家这个角色，注定要多看书，汲取更多的知识。因此，我选择看书来完成这份伟大的梦想。
爱迪生发明了电灯，让我们的夜晚充满光明。詹姆斯发明了电风扇，让我们从炎热中来到了一个清凉的世界。贝尔德发明了电视机，消除我们的郁闷……，这些发明又有那一个不是作家们呕心沥血的创造。
读书，让我们得到新知识;让我们离成功更进一步;让我们有了意外的收获。只要我读了书，我的心就像一双翅膀，在蓝天下飞翔。
科学家，在我心目中是多么伟大!因为他们的付出，才换来我们的舒适，因为他们的贡献才换来我们的幸福，更因为他们的创造，才换来我们更多人的勤奋和努力，我会为我的目标而奋斗，加油!
Hello, everyone.
" Dad, Mom" is a very kind call, fatherly motherly love, a contains unlimited touching words. In this world, only the mother's love for her children is the most sincere, the most selfless. However, parents know love, parents know dedication, why can't we have a heart of Thanksgiving？ Therefore, the topic of my speech today is "the heart of thanksgiving".
Thanksgiving is a virtue, is a long history of cultural heritage. Its source is like the flowing streams of love. Memories of history, we were so touched by the story of a mother to son: ancient, can become the big industry, at three moves, for future generations to leave" told " the story. In modern times, a well-known anti-Japanese general Ma Jingzhai 's mother, she was arrested, the face of the Japanese threat, without fear, decided to allow her son to the war of resistance against Japan, then fast to death. Ma Jingzhai wrote the" great mother, live on in spirit, son of bearing mother, continue to struggle.". This one case, a hymn to love, do not reflect a mother do great？
My mother is an ordinary, but, she is in a breezy morning gave me life; she is in transverse oblique rain on the road of life, gave me strength; she is, in my setbacks, gave me confidence; and she was, in my be big with pride when my humble church. From the bottom of my grateful to her for years, although lost her youth and beauty, but she in my mind forever is Cupid, aphrodite. Hard although took her beautiful singing voice, but her every word is in my heart Jin Yan rhyme, it is the mother of its own actions tell me one of the most common sense: love is selfless dedication.
Remember the summer morning, it was raining hard, I said:" my mother, the rain is so big, don't go to school, " she said, holding the umbrella, said:" so little rain, will scare you, quickly, come on!" Said mother squat body, wait for me, I hesitate to say:" Mom, don't get me," because I know that, mom's leg was not good, but the day before yesterday just had a cold, my mother said with a smile:" are you afraid of her mother to carry you？" I laughed, resigned over mother strong back, rain hit the ground, they have numerous blisters, I hold up the umbrella, tightly over the mother's back, mother in the rain with a deep, shallow kick to move forward, she said:" umbrella the next play, or wet your back." I cried, I cannot find the words to describe the feelings at the time, the very next day, mother's illness, but she said happily:" you did not catch a cold!"
I know, our happiness is the smile on your face, our pain is your eyes deep sorrow. We can go far, far away, but never go out of your mind the square, what affects my soul, always inspire me is your sincere and selfless love, you are like the world all mothers love their children. I wish to be a cup of tea, you thirsty, let you drink, I would like to turn into a breeze, blowing your because of the work and sweat, but, I am not, I can only give you every end of herbal tea, give you fan. Can you forgive me？
Now I know: Thanksgiving, is the heart and the heart of the impact, which can burst out of the spark of love, I sincerely hope that all children have a thankful heart.
I thought a lot attending the lecture about gratitude.The follow is what I want to speak to you. I would like to thank you for all the help you gave me during this past semester. You were alway so patient when I asked you questions. You listened to them carefully and explained everything so thoroughly. You showed me different ways to practice and remember new words and usage. I felt so encouraged and became more comfortable in speaking English. You made the excercise so interesting that I was always very eager to participate and practice. My English has improved so much. How could I thank you enough?! I cannot wait to take your class next semester and keep working on my English.
Hi everybody.
Beauty usually refers to what appeals to the eye. A nice and well built girl is regarded as beautiful. A bunch of vigorous flowers are also considered as beautiful. A splendid waterfall coming down from a mountain is as well looked on as beautiful.
Beauty also refers to what appeals to the mind. The virtue of the Chinese nation-industry and bravery are taken as beautiful, because it helped to produce such a magnificent culture in the world. Einstein's theory of relativity is also perceived as beautiful, for it explains many natural phenomena so perfectly.
Beauty is around us. If you keep an eye or pay some attention, it is never difficult to find something beautiful somewhere about you. Wonderful natural spots, historical relics,fine arts, splendid buildings, and kind people are just a few inches away.
thank you.
Honorable Judges, fellow students:Recently, ther is a heated debate in our society. The college students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education at extraordinary places. But will we be able to face the challenge and support ourselves against all odds? Will we be able to better the lives of others? Will we be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of our country?
The cynics say the college students are the pampered lost generation, which would cringe at the slightest discomfort. But the cynics are wrong. The college students I see are eagerly learning about how to live independently. We help each other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take part time jobs to supplement our pocket money.
The cynics say we care for nothing other than grades; and we neglect the need for character cultivation. But again, the cynics are wrong. We care deeply for each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth. Last week, thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer.
As college students, we are adolescents at the critical turning point in our lives. We all face a fundamental choice: cynicism or faith, each will profoundly impact our future, or even the future of our country. I believe in all my fellow classmates. Though we are still inexperienced and even a little bit childish. I believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challenge and take on our responsibilities. We are preparing to assume new responsibilities and tasks, and to use the education we have received to make our world a better place. I believe in our future.
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(水手),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 .
How to Be Popular
Most people would like to be popular with others, but not everyone can achieve this goal. What is the secret to popularity? In fact, it is very simple. The first step is to improve our appearance. We should always make sure that we stay in good shape and dress well. When we are healthy and well-groomed, we will not only look better but also feel better. In addition, we should smile and appear friendly. After all, our facial expression is an important part of our appearance. If we can do this, people will be attracted to our good looks and impressed by our confidence.
Another important step is developing more consideration for others. We should always put others first and place their interests before our own. It's also important to be good listeners; in this way people will feel comfortable enough to confide in us. However, no matter what we do, we must not gossip. Above all, we must remember to be ourselves, not phonies. Only by being sincere and respectful of others can we earn their respect. If we can do all of the above, I am sure popularity will come our way.
Since entering the new century, we can never stop creating xuzhou city civilization. So long why create a civilized society, however, did not create good play?
What is called a civilized city? Civilized city means all live in harmony, all AnLv keepeth his, everyone to lead by example. This is also we don't have a good civilization the important factor of the city.
Regardless of we are ordinary people, first said the outrageous "officer the second generation". They thinks the body out of the club, they feel superior, it can be arrogant, even the proud parents abandoned ignore. If the city on the "official second generation" to education, may let them turn, become the backbone of the motherland.
Say again we are ordinary citizens. The day before yesterday, I saw a group of about the newspaper pictures of yunlong lake uncivilized phenomenon. To me the deepest impression is a middle-aged man lying on the bench. He blue sky.another 1 "sleep" on the bench, but "occupy" the land of the rest of the visitors to rest. If our visitors who went to shake him, would like to change, perhaps the people will say, after all, this also is a good thing!
For the social construction of civilized cities, each of us to participate, as long as to eliminate the uncivilized factors, I believe that our xuzhou will have a better tomorrow!
进入新世纪以来，我们徐州市就从来没有停止过创建文明社会。但是，为什么创建了那么久文明社会，都没有创建玩好呢?
什么叫做文明城市?文明城市是指人人和谐共处，人人安律守己，人人以身作则。这也是我们没有创好文明城市的重要因素。
先不说我们平民百姓，先说那令人难以容忍的“官二代”。他们自恃身出豪门，便觉得高人一等，就可以傲慢无礼，到头来连引以为豪的父母都弃之不理。如果市里对这些“官二代”进行教育的话，也许会让他们回头是岸，成为祖国的栋梁。
再说说我们普通市民。前两天，我看见报纸上登的一组关于云龙湖畔的不文明现象的图片。对我印象最深的是一个中年男子躺在长椅上的图片。他在长椅上“恬然入睡”，但是却“占领”了其余游客的休息地。如果我们的游客谁去摇醒他，也许那个人就会知错就改，毕竟这也是件好事嘛!
对于社会建设文明城市，我们每人都要参与，只要杜绝了不文明因素，我相信，我们徐州将会有一个美好的明天!
Smile, and sometimes can be a life to retain power.
"To retain the life of laughter," tells the story of a place in the true story of the war years, in the story, a huge smile to show her magic.
War, a number of German soldiers found guilty of a terrible mistake had been closed to general, including one soldier in particular would like to go out alive, but this possibility is too remote. He was informed of his life in the death of the ultimatum had been issued - and three months would be shot, so he does not pin any hope on the survival of the. Two weeks later, he calmed down. He visited every day to face the smiling general, the generals began to ignore him, then, he has a little goodwill, and began to talk to him ... ... three months after the date on the blink of an eye later, shot By the time this is a very strange shot: General cite shot on the left hand, right hand to give back to the team that can be a continuation of the war. His turn, he closed his eyes, waiting for death to come, this time, his generals to see, he slowly raised his right hand ... ...
This is the life-saving force, which is hard to imagine the magic! Every day to a general apology to smile, even from its own bottom line back to the original point of death, this not the great power of a smile?
If we are able to smile in the face of every person and every thing, the success or failure of honor in the face with a smile, a smile in the face of all with a smile of genuine spiritual insights better life, it would be very happy and well-being.
Jan-mouth, will be able to draw a beautiful arc, which is how simple things! However, we do every day to add a smile to my soul? Did not - did not test test, simply Poguanposhuai; job search is unsuccessful, they feel depressed; to buy lottery tickets with the first prize was only a figure on the stomp beat their chests ... ...
Strictly speaking, these trivial little too! But sometimes we do these things to worry all day, affecting many of the stem.
Smile is a force used to be a smile, a smile used to the things people will not be led by the nose, facial expression is not just a smile or a state of mind, it should be a smile from the heart. The story of the soldiers that if only the blunt expression, that the general will be more than just a pleasing.
So smile is a positive state of mind, you have a smile on other people, other people will also answer your smile.
Smile is in the hearts of the Yi Shuguang, the hearts of bright, full of hope.
Smile is embedded in the heart of love, the magic of love.
In the face of your life with a smile! We find that the world is so beautiful.
in my 18 years of life, there have been many things. university days are the best part of them. i can never forget the days when i stepped into my university. i was impressed by its garden-like campus, its enthusiastic students and especially its learning atmosphere. i at once fell in love with it.
after the arduous military training, i get absolutely absorbed in my studies. the classes given by the teachers are excellent. they provide us with information not only from our textbooks but from many other sources as well. they easily arouse my insatiable desire to take in as much as i can.
frankly speaking, at first i had some difficulty following the teachers. however, through my own efforts and thanks to my teachers’ guidance, i made remarkable progress. now i’ve benefited a lot from lectures and many other academic reports.
learning is a long process; i’ll keep exploring in the treasure house of knowledge to enrich myself. this summer i got out of the ivory tower and entered the real world. a publishing house offered me a part-time job in compilation and revision.
at the beginning i was belittled by my colleagues. but they were really surprised when i translated seven english articles over 5,000 words on only one day. gradually, they began to look at me with respectful eyes. in their opinion i turned out to be a useful and trustworthy colleague.
i also realize that only those who bring happiness for others can be truly happy. so i often take part in activities concerning public welfare. i once went to a barren mountain village with my classmates. we taught the kids there who could not afford school. while showing them how broad and how civilized the outer world is, i was deeply touched by their eagerness to learn, their honesty and their purity. i couldn’t control my tears on the day when we left. the precious experience with the poor kids made me aware of the responsibility on the shoulders of us, future teachers.
besides study and social practice, there are entertainments as well. i do body building every day, hoping to keep healthy and energetic. we also write a play and put it on in our spare time.
campus life is the most splendid time. but different people have different choices. the majority of students cherish their beautiful season and cherish the hope that one day they’ll become outstanding. but there are indeed some students still under ignorance. they gather together for eating, drinking or playing cards. they’re busy in searching for a girlfriend or a boyfriend. they forget completely about their mission as college students and the hope of their motherland.
finally, i do hope everybody can try their best to become a worthy citizen of the country. i do hope everybody can become the backbone of our nation and make great contributions to society!
译文:享受生活、不忘使命
在我这20xx年的生命中，有着许多美好的经历，而大学生活则是其中最难忘的一段。我永远不会忘记刚刚跨进大学校园的那几天:花园一样的校园，热情活跃的学生，特别是那里的学习气氛，给我留下了深刻的印象。经过了一段艰辛的军事训练后，我完全融入到了学习中。老师的讲课真是棒极了。他们传授给我们的不仅是课本上的知识，还包括其他各种各样的信息。我渴望获得尽可能多的知识，是老师激发起了我这个不能满足的欲望。
坦率地说，一开始我还不能跟上老师的讲课。但是，通过我自己的努力以及老师的指导，我取得了巨大的进步。我从老师的授课和其他许多学术报告中获益匪浅,学习是个循序渐进、长期的过程，我会在知识的宝库中不断探索，丰富自我。今年暑假，我跨出象牙塔，进入并接触到了真正的社会。一个出版社给了我编辑和校对的兼职工作。
工作初期，同事们都礁不起我。但是，当我在一天之内翻译完7篇(总字数超过5000字)的英语文章后，他们真的大吃一惊。渐渐地，他们开始用尊敬的眼光看待我。他们认为，我变成了一个有用并值得信赖的好同事。
我也同样意识到，只有那些为别人带来幸福的人才能真正的幸福。因而，我经常参加有关公众福利享业的活动。有一次，我和同学去了一个贫痔的山区村庄。在那里，我们教那些没钱上学的孩子。我向他们展示了一幅宽广、文明的外部世界的画面，但同时我也被那些孩子学习的渴望、他们的真诚和纯洁深深打动了。在我们离开的那一天，我那不争气的眼泪禁不住流了下来。这次珍贵的经历让我们这些未来的教师意识到了自己肩上的责任重大。
除了学习和社会实践，我还经常参加娱乐活动。我每天都锻炼身体，希望保持健康和充满活力。我们还在业余时间写剧本并排练演出。
园生活是最丰富多彩的。但是，不同的人有着不同的选择。大多数的学生珍惜他们的美好时光，并殷切希望将来能出类拔萃。可是，的确有学生无动于衷。他们聚在一起吃喝玩乐;他们忙于追求异性朋友;他们完全忘记了自己作为大学生的使命和祖国对他们的厚望。
最后，我希望每个人都能尽最大努力成为国家的有用人才。我也希望每个人都能成为我们民族的脊梁，为社会做出巨大的贡献
Good afternoon, dear judges. Today my speech is “I love black-facedspoonbill.
On a beautiful winter day, I happened to meet the lovely spirit------
Black Faced Spoonbill, a type of migratory bird, which spends winter atHong-Shu-Lin in my city every year. Covered with snow-white feathers, it hasblack legs and a black beak. Besides the blacks and whites, an amazing splash ofyellow is under its neck. So elegant that I couldn’t help loving it at firstsight.
With a big and spoon-shaped beak, it can clasp fishes easily, which makesit a powerful hunter in birds.
However, with human expansion and pollution, only around 20__ ones areliving all over the world.
Like the eleven swan princes in Andersen’s Fairy Tale, the Black FacedSpoonbills have always been struggling to find a tiny rock which can offer thema momentary tranquility. Fortunately, they have found one in my beloved home. Iwould always hold them dearly to my heart and wish they would return with flocksof chicks in the following years, and singing……
Oh, I have a home, such a beautiful home, where I play and resthappily.
Oh, give them a home, such a wonderful home, where the spoonbills play allday.
Thank you very much.
It’s beyond reproach that we will come across all kinds of difficulties andchallenges in our life time .Some will be subjected to frequent sadness .Somewill lose their way to move on .Thus,only when we equip ourselves with hope andcourage can we finally succeed in the uncertain future.
Forrest Gump showed so great courage in the movie that he touched me a lot. For one thing,no matter when and where Jenny got into trouble ,Forrest Gumpwould bring her out of it without thinking how dangerous the situation would be.Maybe we should all fell ashamed that we love ourselves more than we love love,but Forrest showed great courage in love .For another,Forrest gump risked hislife to save Bubba in the war.It’s courage that helped Forrest gain a series ofhonor after war .Forrest Gump is beautiful for his perseverance and touchesothers with his courage.
A person can’t do without courage in terms of love and friendship ,letalone life . A weak person may avoid the difficulties ,but a person with couragewill face up to it head-on. Therefore,let’equip ourselves with greatcourage.
【参考译文】
我们一生中遇到各种困难和挑战是无可指责的，有些人会经常悲伤，有些人将失去前进的道路，只有当我们有希望和勇气时，我们才能在不确定的将来取得成功。
阿甘在电影中表现出如此大的勇气，他深深地打动了我。对于一件事，无论何时何地，詹妮陷入了麻烦，阿甘会带她出来不思考如何危险的情况会。也许我们都应该感到惭愧，我们爱自己比我们更爱的爱，但福雷斯特表现出了巨大的勇气的爱。另一方面，阿甘冒着生命危险去救Bubba在战争中，它的勇气使福雷斯特战争后获得一系列荣誉。阿甘是美丽的他的毅力和触动别人的勇气。
在爱情和友谊方面，一个人不能没有勇气，更不用说生活了。弱者可以逃避困难，但有勇气的人会勇敢地面对困难。因此，让我们以极大的勇气武装自己。
Nowadays, there appears a phenomenon that the western customs are spreading into the east countries step by step, thus making many inhabitants who live in big cities enjoy themselves on these western festivals such as Christmas Day, April Fool’s Day, etc. Such phenomenon shows us that the world people are getting close gradually and the world is becoming smaller and smaller as well. Therefore, in my opinion, it’s a normal phenomenon s well as a necessary trend.
First of all, it shows that we Chinese have become much opener rather than clinging to some very old customs, which are opposite our living. Looking back on the history, we can find the answer to why our China was very poor and weak in the 1800’s. Yes, the answer is that we closed ourselves not to let other countries know about us, and this led us to a very hard road on which we suffered many wars that many European countries launched. So I think it is more than necessary to accept other customs instead of closing ourselves. Of course, festivals are just the beginning.
What’s more, the Open and Reform Policy results in this. So I want to say it is a great achievement for the policy. Since we took the policy into practice, our country is developing with a rapid speed. No doubt it is an essential trend.
Last but not the least, we may get closer and closer not only to our home friends but also to many foreigners. We can never feel embarrassed for not knowing the other’s customs and manners. And more misunderstandings can be avoided as well.
To sum up, the trend has its great advantage to a certain extent. However, if we admire the western customs too much, it will be a disadvantage because China is our own country, all of us should enjoy a patriotic heart. Wish in the near future, we can see the situation that westerners are enjoying themselves on the Spring Festival.

I love English,it gives me a colorful dream.I hope I can travel around the world one day. With my good English, I can make friends with many people from different contries.I can see many places of great intrests.I dream that I can go to London,because it is the birth place of English.
I also want to use my good English to introduce our great places to the English spoken people,I hope that they can love our country like us.
I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well.
If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So I believe as I love English everyday , it will love me too.
I am sure that I will realize my dream one day!
Thank you!
To end our special news bulletin, said the voice of the television announcer, we're going over to the macaroni fields of Calabria. Macaroni has been grown in this area for over six hundred years. Two of the leading growers, Giuseppe Moldova and Riccardo Brabante, tell me that they have been expecting a splendid crop this year and harvesting has begun earlier than usual. Here you can see two workers who, between them, have just finished cutting three cartloads of golden brown macaroni stalks. The whole village has been working day and night gathering and threshing this year's crop before the September rains. On the right, you can see Mrs. Brabante herself. She has been helping her husband for thirty years now. Mrs. Brabante is talking to the manager of the local factory where the crop is processed. This last scene shows you what will happen at the end of the harvest: the famous Calabrian macaroni-eating competition! Signor Fratelli, the present champion, has won it every year since 1991. And that ends our special bulletin for today, Thursday, April lst. We're now going back to the studio.

Wide sea diving, the days of the birds to fly. Everyone carries a dream of their own.
However, what is the dream? What is dream? Dream is looking forward to, and the dream is strong - is fleeting dream you insist on the ideal as their courage and perseverance, are you responsible for their own highest level. But ask yourself, how many of us to accomplish his original dream in mind?
Our dream is a simple belief, is a future and life of their own responsibility. Perhaps, is the Youth
grand ambitions; perhaps, is the adolescent confusion and impulsive; maybe just a plain desire, desire applause, eager for success. Countless "may," innumerable "hope" because of our youthful full of miracles, large and small dreams in our hearts, in every corner of life filled with fragrance.
Only the ideal but no effort is useless. If you want to be a teacher, you should to study hard. If you want to be a player, you should do more exercises. If you want to become a businessman, he should learn to get along with people. For example, my wish is to be a famous writer grew up, because I really love writing, so from now on, I should read more, more accumulate knowledge, and strive to improve writing level. No pains, no gains, because my efforts, so my article was punished in many newspapers , and in many composition contest, I see the success I'm happy, so, struggle is the bridge to the ideal.
Yes, my dream. to give my famliy a warm, give my friend happy. Yes, my dream. The podium from the first station began his love this place, started from the first published an article looking forward to the world of words, decided to stay here from the beginning, stick to bottom of my heart desire.
Years in our faces no matter how many additional traces, no matter how much things to us across the chest wounds, as long as we have the right to breathe, to have a passion for remodeling dreams! Oxygen to survive as long as we have to have the courage to create a passion!
Choose to continue, select the value, select the achievements of the passion of life, the brave hearts of the initial dream of success!
What was the joke?

With the development of technology，more and more people are fond of using Internet.It is particularly popular among young people.Just
like the coin has two sides，internet also has its own advantages and
disadvantages.
First of all，the Internet has brought people great convenience in getting information，entertainment and contact with each other.As for our students，it is a useful tool when we meet problems.When we are tired，a piece of light music will help us relax.If we have free time，we can enjoy movies or interesting cartoons.What’s more，we can also watch live programs on the internet or see it later if we are not available at that time.
But there is also bad influence.Some of the young teenagers are addicted to computer games，and some even play games all night.Because of lacking in sleep，those students can not focus on in the class .As a result，they may fail in the exam.When they realize it is wrong to spend too much time playing games，it’s already too late.
I have remembered such a piece of news .An excellent student flunked （考试不及格） because he could not concentrate on his study for being too indulged in computer games.He spent nearly all the money on games，which was earned by his father＇s selling blood.When his father knelt down to beg him to return to school，he was too numb to show any regret.
The most serious harm of computer games come from their contents，which affects teenagers ＇ mental health.Many games involve violence，such as fighting and killing.When they enjoy the pleasure of success，a violent turn of mind is developed and rooted in them，which may induce future violent behaviour in their life.
So when computers＇ entertaining function is highly spoken of ，such a problem does deserve our serious concern.
In addition，long time＇s working before computer also does harm to health.The radiation from the computer can arose many uncomfortable feelings.，like a headache，poor eyesight.
At last，people who are fond of making friends on line should also be careful.Many convicts use Internet as a way to cheat.
Although it has many disadvantages ，Internet has become an indispensable part of people＇s life in recent years.In my point of view，it’s wrong to blame Internet itself，it’s all depend on the way we use it.
If we use it in a right way，it can be one of the best friends in our life.
That ＇s all ，thank you ！
Hello! everyone:
I’m a happy Chinese girl, My name is WangSiwen. You can call me Alice. Nice to meet you! My English name is Alice. Today is my birthday, so I’m very happy. I’m nine years old. I have a round face and a small mouth. My eyes are not too big and not too small. And I have long black hair.
My story for today is tadpoles mummy .
Spring comes. Tadpoles are missing their mummy. They want to look for her.
A duck is coming. The tadpoles says: “mummy, mummy!” the duck say:“sorry, I’m not your mummy. Your mummy has a white belly ”the tadpoles says:“Thank you, Good-- Bye ”.
A fish is coming. The tadpoles says: “mummy, mummy!” the fish say:“sorry, I’m not your mummy. Your mummy has two big eyes ”the tadpoles says:“Thanks, Bye ”.

Just then, the forg is coming, The tadpoles says: “mummy, mummy!” the forg say:“How are you, my babies ,I love you so much!”
Currently, self-confidence has become the order of our life, which improvesthe theory that nothing is more valuable than self-confidence.
It is obvious that self-confidence means trust in one’s ability. If we arefull of self-confidence, we’ll have creative power to live and work, helping ussuccess or dreams come true. On the contrary, if we have no confidence inourselves, there will be little possibilities for us to win. We’ll always facefailure.
What’s more, no one can deny another fact that self-confidence gives uslight when we walk in the dark and courage when we face stumbling blocks. Withself-confidence, we can achieve goals in our life.
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.
security issue may sound clichéd, but when it comes to the campus security, we have to take it seriously. nearly every day, there are reports to the security office on campus that valuable things are stolen away.
a surrounding with stealing, mugging can’t be worse for studying. in such cases, what measures should be taken to improve the campus security?
on the one hand, we students should strengthen our security awareness. once we smell out something unusual, we should report it to the campus guard immediately. on the other hand, more equipment such as monitors should be installed on campus so as to detect crimes as soon as possible.
besides, a proper amount of security guards should be arranged to patrol the campus。 in my opinion, campus security will be improved as long as efforts are made on campus. therefore colleges and universities should try their best to make everyone on campus safe and sound
There is a song called "when they grow up, I became you": a child I thoughtyou were very beautiful, led a group of birds flying. Grow up you have become myonly know that classrooms are flying the hope that the Shou are their own nests;piece of the blackboard to write the truth, remove the utilitarian; Flanaganchalk to draw the rainbow, teardrop shed is ... .. every time to hear it, singit, my heart will be subjected to a baptism of love.
Life on people from kindergarten to primary school, middle school, and evenuniversities, there will be many teachers. Pouring of love, concern about thegrowth of students, one teacher per common pursuit. Which is one of, love of thefemale teachers in general are different teacher's love, she is a kind of putall the soul and intellect dedicated to children's sincere. Such love isselfless, it unreservedly dedicated to all students; this love is deep, itsimplication for all students at doing one thing in each.
At kindergarten, we have the first teachers in life. When we are crying, itwas your mother like open arms into the warm embrace of our arms; when we sleptat a small bedwhen you are gently approached the bedside, as we wereangle; whenWe are not feeling well when you are hurriedly put our mind to the clinic.
Gradually we grew up, into the school, to know more new teachers. For wegrow up, your Teacher work day and night, but no regrets. How many quiet nights,in order to prepare each lesson, are you seriously study materials; the numberof spare time, in order to transform backward students, but also you are bravingthe cold heat go home visits; the number of holidays, you give up leisure timewith their families , devote themselves to learning, to use all available timeto "self-charging."
Teacher are candles for a bright and burning; Teacher are gardeners,homeland for tomorrow's flowers and hard work; Teacher dewdrop are constantlynourishing us this piece of green grass; Teacher trees are for our; Teacher arethe sun, are matches, are chalk ... ... Teacher, what a noble and distinguishedcareer ah!
Leaves circled in the air, write a song wonderful music, it is a large treeat its nourish the earth for Thanksgiving; clouds at blue sky in the drift,painting pictures on TV drama series and pleasant pictures, that are whiteclouds in the Thanksgiving feeding it the blue sky. Since there is a teacher, werecognize the colorful world; because there is a teacher, to understand the truemeaning of life, so we must know how to Teacher Zhien, Thanksgiving.
Teachers are respected Thanksgiving. Since ancient times, people-wei oftheir teachers have a heart of Thanksgiving. Famous scientist Marie Curie, NobelPrize-winning twice, but she saw my primary school teachers, the immediatelypresented a bouquet of flowers to express her gratitude; great man Mao Zedong atthe festive season is also usually sent to a Teacher deeply grateful.
Thanksgiving is on the teacher's heart. Grateful do not needearth-shattering, just say your call ray considerate enough. Class, the teachersat exhausted on rostrum, students, and you can walk gently for Teacherbackshoulder; after school, when you find a teacher for us to sit in the officesalso meticulous whenstudents, you can quietly for a cup of warm water on Teacherinverted; recess, you discover that there is waste paper cuttings classroom,students, and you can easily pick it up, for teachers to create a clean teachingenvironment; holiday, the students , you can bring a flower for the teacher, agreeting card, it is the blessings of Teacher Forever ... ...
Thanksgiving on the Teacher is to return the society. Teacher, you workedhard conscientious, quiet dedication of light and heat.

"decades, educating people for centuries," Does asociety, the state and the nation a useful person, it is the best reward forteachers.
Students, let us together wish the world is all happy Teacher HappinessForever!
有一首歌叫《长大后，我就成了你》：小时候我以为你很美丽，领着一群小鸟飞来飞去。长大后我就成了你，才知道那间教室，放飞的是希望，守巢的是自己;那块黑板写下的是真理，擦去的是功利;那根粉笔画出的是彩虹，流下的是泪滴…..每次听到它，唱起它，我都会在内心经受一次爱的洗礼。
人一生从上幼儿园到小学、初中，乃至大学，会有许许多多的老师。倾注爱心，关注学生的成长，是每一位老师共同的追求。而这其中，女老师的爱是不同于一般老师的爱，她是一种把全部心灵和才智献给孩子的真诚。这种爱是无私的，它毫无保留地献给所有学生;这种爱是深沉的，它蕴涵在为所有学生所做的每一件事 中。
在幼儿园里，我们有了人生第一位老师。当我们哭哭啼啼时，是您张开母亲般的双臂将我们揽入温暖的怀里;当我们在小小睡床上辗转反侧时，是您轻轻地走近床边，为我们掖好被角;当我们身体不舒服时，是您急急忙忙把我们抱到医务室。
渐渐我们长大，背起书包，走入学堂，认识了更多新的老师。为了我们成长，老师您昼夜劳作，却无怨无悔。多少个宁静的夜晚，为了备好每一堂课，是您认真钻研教材;多少个业余时间，为了转化后进学生，又是您冒着严寒酷暑去家访;多少个节假日，您放弃与家人休闲的时间，潜心进修，利用一切可以利用的时间来“自我充电”。
老师是蜡烛，为了光明而燃烧;老师是园丁，为了祖国明天的花朵而辛勤劳动;老师是露珠，不断滋润我们这片绿草;老师是大树，为我们遮风挡雨;老师是太阳、是火柴、是粉笔……老师，一个多么令人尊敬而高尚的职业啊!
落叶在空中盘旋，谱写着一曲美妙的乐章，那是大树在对滋养它的大地感恩;白云在蔚蓝的天空中飘荡，绘画着那一幅幅怡人的画面，那是白云在对哺育它的蓝天感恩。因为有老师，我们认识了多彩的世界;因为有老师，懂得了生命的真谛，所以我们对老师要懂得知恩、感恩。
对老师的感恩是敬重的。自古以来，伟人们都对自己的老师有着一颗感恩的心。著名科学家居里夫人，曾两次获得诺贝尔奖，但她在看见自己的小学老师时，马上献上一束鲜花表达她的感激之情;伟人也同样常常在佳节送上对老师的一份深深感激。
对老师的感恩是发自内心的。感激不需要惊天动地，只需要你的一声呼唤，一丝体贴足够。下课了，老师疲惫不堪地坐在讲台上，同学们，你可以轻轻地走过去，为老师捶捶背揉揉肩;放学后，当你发现老师还坐在办公室为我们一丝不苟地批改作业时，同学们，你可以悄悄地为老师倒上一杯温水;课间，你发现教室里有废纸屑，同学们，你可以顺手捡起来，为老师打造一个整洁的教学环境;节日里，同学们，你可以为老师献上一支花、一张贺卡，那是对老师永远的祝福……
对老师的感恩是要回报社会的。老师，您呕心沥血、兢兢业业、默默无闻奉献着光和热。在这平淡却不平凡的岗位上，您不仅教给我们知识，更重要的是，还教育我们怎样做人。“十年栽树，百年育人”，做一个对社会、对国家、对民族有用的人，那才是对老师最好的报答。
同学们，让我们共同祝愿天下所有老师永远幸福快乐!
My dear friends,
Do you know what is the most precious and everlasting thing in the world?Money?You may lose everything you have if you don't use money carefullenough.Youth?In one's long life youth is like a flash in the pan and no one inthe world has the secret to keep his youth forever.Beautiful look?Many peoplepray that they can get hold of beauty,but it disappears far more quickly thanthey can imagine.And when they are in real trouble beauty itself feelshelpless.A good job?As you grow older and your brain and hands can't work asfast as before.It will become other people's wealth.
Then what is the most precious and everlasting thing in the world?
When you are far away from your family and feel especially lonely,Who willyou think of?When you stand on the crossoad in your life and don't know whichway to choose,who will you think of?When you encounter greater difficulties thanever and need other's encouragement,who will you think of?When you decide tomake the greatest decision in your favorite course,who shed cheerful tears whensee you get achievements?Whose wholehearted blessing will be always with you nomatter how far you will go?
Yes,it's mother who you will always think of and it's mother's love thatwillbe always be with you.
I once heard a moving story about a mother.Two childrens were drawn intothe flood and the situations was very dangerous.Their mother jumped into thewater without hesitation.But the mother couldn't swim at all.Jumping into thewater means she might lose her life.But at that time she had no time to thinkabout herself.She just wanted to try all means to save her children.Maybe hercourage touched the God.The miracle happened.She finally succeeded in saving herboth children.And she,of course,felt extremely exhausted.
My friends,mother's love is the greatest love.Mother's love is the safestlove.No matter you are happy or depressed ,rich or poor ,mother's love willalways stay with you.
That’s all.Thanks for your time!
Honorable judges, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:
It is a great honor and pleasure to be here on this beautiful Saturday morning to share with you my sentiments about life and passion for the English language.
About a year and a half ago, I took part in my very first English Speech Contest. When I stood before the microphone with all eyes starring directly at me, I could hardly speak. I stood there, embarrassed and helpless, struggling in vain for the right thing to say. My fears had paralyzed me.
While my passion for English has never changed, I lost my courage to speak in public. When my professor again encouraged me to take part in this Competition, I said “no.” I couldn’t endure yet another painful experience. He looked me straight in the eye and said something that pierced my heart. I will never forget his words. “Look,” he said, “We all have our fears, and you have yours. You could twist your ankle in a basketball game, but then be afraid to ever play again. Running away can never dispel your fears, but action will. A winner is not one who never fails，but one who never quits.”
I spent a whole day with his words twisting and turning in my mind. Then I made the bravest and wisest decision of my life: I would face my fears – and take part in the competition!
As it turned out, my dear old professor was right. Now, here I am, once again standing before a microphone. My heart is beating fast, and my mouth is dry, but most importantly, I have faced my fears -- and that makes all the difference!
Thank you.
