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.
Finally, standing here at the threshold of the 21st century, we cannot help thinking of our posterity. Nature is not only the mother of the present generation, but also the mother of the generations to come. How severely our descendents will criticize us if we leave them a barren and lifeless mother? How much more they will appreciate us if we give them a world of harmony to inherit? Let us start respecting and caring for nature from now on. Let us start the campaign of creating a mutually beneficial relationship between people and nature right from this moment. With this new start, I firmly believe, that our children, and our children's children will live in a brand new age of green trees, clean air, crystal water, blue sky and an even more promising world!
Friendshi
友谊
Every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. My friends will listen to me when I want to speak, will wipe my eyes when I cry, will take care of me when I am sick, and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.
我们每个人，不论富裕还是贫穷，至少应该有一个或两个好朋友。我的朋友会听我说，如果我想说话，要擦去我的眼睛当我哭泣，会照顾我在我生病时，我的朋友将与我一起肩并肩在这人生旅程。
Friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives. It is actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the sweeter it will be. It is also like a cup of tea. When we are thirsty, it will be our best choice, but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves, it is also the most fragrant drink.
友谊是一种财宝在我们的生活。它实际上是像一瓶酒，越久保留，这将是更香甜。它就像一杯茶。当我们口渴时，这将是对我们最好的选择，但当我们有足够的时间去玩得很开心的，它也是最芬芳的饮料。
All of us have to spare some time for personal lives. We have to find the chance to express our emotion and love. When staying with our friends, we can release ourselves completely. We can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry to-gether. I should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives.
我们所有的人都要花点时间来个人的生活。我们必须找到机会来表达我们的感情和爱。当住在我们的朋友，我们可以放松自己完全。我们可以做任何我们想要的，我们能一起大声笑，一起交谈，甚至哭泣下。我应该说，是我们最好的朋友一起是最精彩的时刻，我们的生活。
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. It is my honor to be here to present my speech to you about the role of humanism in today’s technologically advanced world.
What’s the role of humanism today? At the first sight of this topic, I felt that I had a vision of walking along a dark passage to our destination, an ideal harmonious society. Humanism, is a lighthouse on this way to guide us in case we are getting lost, together with modern technology, we are well on our way toward our destination.
Like other young men, I love the internet. To be honest, I could not imagine a life without internet, which is a blessing taken by high technology. To some extent, it represents the whole world to me. I have registered some accounts on MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Renren, Weibo and so forth. It’s really amazing because these network technologies make it possible for people all over the world to communicate with each other freely and conveniently.
However, there are two sides to the argument, so what of the internet. While it could lighten our life, it could also turn into evil. It started with some of these arguments—well, it is argument at first—then the situation seems out of control: people start to curse and scold each other just because they have different opinions. People became more and more aggressive, seditious, and insulting, and later on, with the “Human-flesh searching” involved, the situation gets even worse. Those are what we called “Network of violence”, they are still happening, and still going on.
It seems like that the internet frees us from the burden of our public identities so we should be our true, authentic selves online, except it turns out—who wouldn’t see that coming—that our true, authentic selves aren’t that fantastic.
The reason we define ourselves as human is because we have some natural instincts to care for and respect other people. In other words, we are pursuing the universal brotherhood, a peaceful world of free minds. It is humanism that keeps our society moving on and on.
As one of the most important inventions in our time, internet has changed the way of our life tremendously. It has changed the way we express and communicate with each other. It has made it possible for us to meet each other without distance; it has made it easier for us to know and to comprehend each other.
However not only some changes has it brought, but also brought on some challenges. Net has anarchy in its DNA, It’s always been about anonymity, playing with your own identity and messing with other people’s heads. It is a challenge, it challenges our self-discipline that we are proud of, it challenges our humanity that we are proud of. Sure technology promises us more freedom but it doesn’t mean that we should leave our civilization behind.
That’s why we need a guideline to light up our path, to lead us. In this technologically advanced world, what we need to do is to avoid the misuse of technology, but to take it as an accelerator, a lube or a navigator on our high way to create a better world, a harmonious society.
So don’t ever forget our aspiration, and always have faith in humanism, and we are going to make it happen, in this technologically advanced world! Yes! We can!
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
Good afternoon:
Honorable judges dear teachers and close friends. I’m very glad to stand here to share may speech with you,today I am going to talk about dreams。
Everyone has a dream。
Martin luther king had a dream-and we can recall his civil rights speech。Phil knight had a dream-and now the whole world knows his nike slogan “just do it”。
I also have a dream ,but not only a simple one 。
When I was a small girl,my dream was that I would be a doctor when I grew up. I will be the first person who produces a new medicine. this kind of medicine can make teachers relax when they are busy correcting their students’ exercises and preparing their lessons. because one day when I woke up at midnight, I found my father, a senior Chinese teacher, was still busy with his work .i was deeply moved. I wish my father could be healthy and relaxed every minute.
But now, I have another dream ,I want to learn English well. I love English , English language is now used everywhere in the world. It has become the most common language on interet and internation trade .learning English makes me confident and brings me great pleasure.
Everyday ,I read English following the tapes .sometimes, I watch english cartoons .on the weekend ,I often go to the English corner .by talking with different people there ,I have made more and more friends as well as improved my oral English . I ’will try my best 。
I know fantasy is hard to com ture,bue dream can. I’ll work hard for my dreams ,I’ll never give up.
Thank you!

中午好，尊敬的评委、亲爱的老师和朋友们：
今天我非常高兴在这里为大家做演讲，今天我将要谈论的话题是梦想。
每个人都有梦想马丁路德金有一个梦想，我们可以回忆一下他的关于黑人权利的演讲，菲尔奈特做了一个梦，现在全世界都知道他的耐克公司的口号“只是做到这一点”。
我也有一个梦想，但不是一个简单的。
当我还是个小女孩的时候，我的梦想是长大后能当一名医生。我想成为世界上第一个发明药的人。这种药可以使老师放松下来当他们忙着批改学生的联系的时候或者是备课的时候。因为又一次当我在半夜醒来的时候，我发现，我的爸爸，一个高中的语文教师，正在忙着工作。我被深深的感动了。我希望我的爸爸每一分钟都是健康的、都是放松的。
但是现在，我又有一个梦想，我想学好英语。我爱英语，英语现在被广泛的应用着。它在国际贸易中已经是一种很普遍的语言了。学习英语使我感到非常自信并且给我带来的许多快乐。每天，我都跟着磁带在学英语。有时候，我也会看一些英语卡通。在周末，我经常去英语角。在这，通过与不同的人交谈，我不仅提高了我的英语口语，而且还结交了很多朋友。
我将会尽我最大的努力我知道幻想是很难实现的，但是梦想是可以实现的。我会为我的梦想而努力奋斗，我永远都不会放弃！
谢谢大家！
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, honorable judges.As a citizen of a country, I have a birth certificate, a household register and a identity card.
I am entitled to certain rights, responsibilities and privileges.
I have freedom of movements in the country, I obey the country’s laws, and I enjoy the convenience of social policies and so on .What about a citizen of globe? Is there anything to characterize the global citizenship? A certificate, a register or certain rights? Not really.
Global citizenship means a world where people are treated and respected equally for who they are.
It is about helping people that are less fortunate.
It is about inclusiveness.
Interacting and working together is the core of being and belonging.
We need to realize how important our connections are with others in our friendships, our neighborhoods, our communities, and with our planet.
In another word, Global Citizenship is about people’s awareness of seeking the common good.
It is about everyone.Is my idea too abstract? Here I’ve got a vivid example.
When I was a child, my father always told me some stories about the past generation.
Once he told me a story about a doctor.
When the doctor heard people suffering in Spain because of the civil war, he came to help.
He saw many people dying just because they had no money.
Then he proposed a system that enabled the poor to have medical treatment.
It is the beginning of the idea of Socialized Medical Care.
After the war, the doctor worked hard to improve the treatment of tuberculosis.
In 1938, the second Sino-Japanese war broke out in China.
The fifty-year-old doctor came to help again.
During his years in China, he trained more than 1000 Chinese to be medics and doctors.
It was him that designed the world’s first mobile medical unit which saved thousands of lives.In the story, what impressed me most was a description of this admirable doctor.
My father could still remember it even after decades.
It was “his utter devotion to others without any thought of self was shown in his great sense of responsibility in his work and his great warm-heartedness towards all comrades and the people”.Till now, you must know the doctor.
You are right.
It is Norman Bethune, a distinguished surgeon.
He was a medical hero who helped unite two countries by showing our common humanity beyond cultural and political differences.What kind of spirit is this that makes a foreigner selflessly adopt the cause of the Chinese peoples liberation as his own? It is called the spirit of global citizenship-seeking the common good.As a doctor, Norman Bethune did his best.
the power of self-confidence is not to be underestimated, however,confidence is not everyone have, people with low self-esteem will not have it,if we are confident, that is not confident, but arrogance. so, confidence alsowants moderate, should not be too.
people with low self-esteem is not successful, because they are afraid ofdifficulties, fear of the unknown dangers, think you what all can't, no, in factthey are wrong, this is the result of their lack of confidence, things did notdifficult, as they think they are not as useless as they want. as long as theylook ahead, give yourself a little more encouragement, and say to myself: i cando it! don't be afraid in front of the unknown is difficult, only go forward,never fear, self-confidence will come to your side.
at any time, all want to learn self-confidence, frankly, smile in the faceof all, doing everything to an unyielding, don't give up easily, say toyourself: i can do it! self-confidence, power is endless, let us smileconfidently towards our own success.
自信的力量是不可低估的，但是，自信不是人人都拥有的，自卑的人是不会拥有它的，如果我们自信过度，那就不是自信了，而是自大。所以，自信也要适度，不应太过。
自卑的人是不会成功的，因为，他们害怕困难，害怕未知的危险，认为自己什么都不行，不，其实他们错了，这源于他们缺少自信，事情根本就没有他们所想的那样难，他们也不像自己想的那样没用。只要他们向前看，多给自己一点鼓励，对自己说一声：我能行！不要畏惧前面未知的困难，只有勇往直前，永不畏惧，自信才会来到你的身边。
在任何时候，都要学会自信，微笑坦然的面对一切，做任何事都要自强不息，不要轻易放弃，对自己说：我能行！自信的力量是无穷无尽的，让我们微笑自信的走向属于自己的成功之路。

1.有些人认为金钱是生命中最重要的东西；
2.但是金钱并不是万能的，也不能买到一切；
3.来源正当的金钱才能使人幸福。
Money
Money is regarded by some people as the most important thing in life. Forthose people,a man with plenty of money can live happily.So in their eyes,moneyis the main goal oftheir life.
But money cannot buy everything.For instance,no matter how much money onehas,he cannot buy good health,which is essential to a good can itbuy happiness or friendship.Thus,although money is useful in many ways,there arestill a lot of things in the world that can not be bought with money.
There are people who obtain money by gamnbling，cheating or other dishonestmeans.Sooner or later,they will be punished by the law. Therefore,money willbring them nothing but when money is obtained through working canit make people really happy.(138 words)
有些人认为金钱是生命中最重要的东西。对于那些人来说，富有的人一定生活得很开心。因此在他们眼中，赚钱是生活的`主要目标。
但是，金钱并不能买到所有的东西。例如，不管一个人有多少钱，他却买不到健康一一那才是幸福生活的根本。金钱也买不到幸福或友谊。因此，尽管金钱在很多方面都有用途，但是世界上还是有一些东西是用金钱买不到的。
有的人利用或欺骗等不诚实的方式来获取金钱。迟早他们会受到法律的惩罚。因此，金钱带给他们的除了痛苦之外，一无所有。只有通过劳动获得的金钱才会真正地给人们带来快乐。
WE AND OUR YELLOW RIVER: THRIVING TOGETHER
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. The issue of the Yellow River has become the biggest concern of members of the Chinese peoples Political Consultative Conference. My childhood, in fact, is closely associated with the river. My father is an engineering geologist, and he used to take me with him on his trips to the hydropower stations on the river. I enjoyed those trips, especially the trip to Longyang Xia reservoir. Although ten years have passed since my visit, I can still recall the scenery; I can still recall the water I saw at the reservoir. It was pure, clean and blue, not like the water I saw in the middle reaches of the river, which had turned brown and muddy after passing through the Loess Plateau.
Once during our stay at the power station, we were caught in a thunderstorm. And when rain stopped, I could see trickles of water rolling down mountain slopes and flowing into the reservoir. It carried little mud or sand, because at that time, trees and grass still grew around the reservoir. And they protected the soil. At Longyang Xia I was struck by the beauty of nature, and as a child I wanted to stay there and to grow up with our Yellow River.
Li Bai, the Tang Dynasty poet, said praises to the flowing water in the Yellow River. He saw it as coming down from heaven and nurturing the people along her way to the sea. However, in 1997,for 330days, not a single drop of water from the Yellow River went into the sea. And droughts are not the only punishment by nature. A friend of my father's, a university professor, is doing research on the Yellow River. According to this professor, the Yellow River will soon change its course if we allow this situation to continue. Because there is no longer enough water to carry away the silt and mud in the lower reaches of the river and the riverbed rises higher and higher each year.
We have taken too much from nature, but given back too little in return. And this is the cost of the unbalanced growth. If we had taken care of the vegetation in the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River, we would still experience the river as Li Bai described it.
While the developed countries are consuming proportionally more natural resources than the rest of the world, they've also taken some good measures in protecting nature. And as a developing country, China can learn from them in this aspect.
Last year, when I was visiting Australia with a group of Chinese students who had won prizes in an English Skills Test, our Australian hosts invited us to join them for a horse-ride in the mountains. After two hours on horseback, we reached a valley, where there was a most beautiful meadow, with flowers in all colors dotted on a huge blanket of green. When I began to praise the beauty of nature, my friends told me that in this valley, there used to be a big mine and the wastewater from the mine turned everything brown. When the mine was abandoned, people made great efforts to restore the green vegetation. They also used the latest biological technology choosing the best grass seeds suitable for the local soil. So the beautiful meadow is a result of commitment, hard work, and new technology.
What happened to this valley in Australia should also happen to our Yellow River and, in fact, it is happening. I have seen farmers planting trees on mountains along the Yellow River. I have seen them climb the mountain tops with seedlings on their shoulders because they had no machinery. I have seen them pour on trees the water they had carried up in buckets from miles down the valley. These farmers are quietly nourishing our Yellow River, just as the river has nourished them.
And these farmers, men and women I don't know, gave me the confidence that we and our Yellow River will grow together, and someday in the future, we will be able to drink the clean water from our Yellow River again, because she is our dearest mother.
Thank you.
After seeing so many movies about the youth, we are starting to wonderabout what do we have in our youth, the fight, the drink or the love? My answeris no. What we see from the movie is not true, the plots are exaggerated andmisunderstood. For students, their youth is the process of fighting. They havestudied so hard to realize their dreams. When they are in primary school, theywant to do well and make their parents be proud of them. When they are in middleschool and high school, they need to take part in the exams so as to enter thebetter future schools. Even they are in college, they still need to study andfight for the ideal job. There is no doubt that most people keep fighting fortheir future and this is the memory of youth.
看了很多关于青春的电影之后，我们开始思考我们的青春有什么，打架，喝酒或谈恋爱？我的答案是否定的。我们从电影看到的是不正确的，故事情节被夸大了，也被误解了。对于学生，他们的青春是战斗的过程。他们努力学习来实现梦想。在上小学的时候，他们想要做的很好，让父母为他们感到骄傲。当他们在初中和高中的时候，需要参加考试，以便将来进入更好的学校。甚至在大学，他们仍然需要学习和争取理想的工作。毫无疑问，大多数人一直在为自己的未来奋斗，这是青春的记忆。
by the time john pulled into the little town, every hotel room was taken. "you've got to have a room somewhere." he pleaded. "or just a bed--i don't care where."
"well, i do have a double room with one occupant," admitted the manager," and he might be glad to split the cost. but to tell you the truth, he snores so loudly that people in adjoining rooms have complained in the past. i'm not sure it'd be worth it to you."
"no problem," the tired traveler assured him. "i'll take it."
the next morning, john came down to breakfast bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. when asked about how he slept, he replied, "never better."
the manager was impressed. "no problem with the other guy snoring, then?"
"nope. i shut him up in no time."
"how'd you manage that?"
"he was already in bed, snoring away, when i came in the room," john said. "i went over, gave him a kion the cheek, said, 'goodnight, beautiful.' with that he sat up all night watching me."
