I like to take pictures so much when I go to the different place I will ask my parents to take picture for me. Taking picture helps me record my life. I want to see what has happened to me when I look back at my life when I grow up. I want to record the beautiful moment. When I see these pictures in the future I will be smiling. All of these wonderful memories will fulfill my life. My mother has bought me a camera so that I can take pictures any time. I am so thankful to her I hope I can use this camera to record the happy time of my family.
我很喜欢拍照，当我去到不同的地方时，我会叫父母帮我拍照。拍照能让我记录生活。在我长大了，当回顾我的生活的时候，我想要看看发生了什么事情。我想要记录下美丽的瞬间。在将来我看到这些照片的时候，我会笑得很开心。所有的这些美好的回忆会充实我的生活。我的妈妈给了买了一台相机，这样我就能随时拍照。我很感激她，我希望我能使用这台相机去记录我们家庭的快乐时光。
没有想象力就没有创造力
NO IMAGINATION, NO CREATIVITY
Dear teachers and students：
Good morning / afternoon / evening! My name is Liu zi yuan. The title of my speech is the relationship between creativity and imagination.
尊敬的老师、同学们大家早上/下午/晚上好!我叫刘子源。我演讲的题目是创造力和想象力之间的关系。
There is no creativity without imagination. With the development of the society, creativity becomes more and more important. People could not satisfy with ordinary life. So we need creativity to meet their requirements. We can see significance of the creativity from an example. The smart phone—iphone spread all over the world. That was the creativity of The Apple Inc. It is obvious that it will produce a bigger profit than common manufacturing. But, hao can we acquire creativity?
没有想象力就没有创造力。随着社会的发展，创造力变得越来越重要。人们已经不能满足于日常生活。所以我们需要不断的创新来满足他们的需求。通过一个例子我们可以知道创造力的意义。苹果智能手机的使用遍及全世界。这就是苹果公司的创新。很显然，这项创新产生了巨大的利润比起普通的制造业。但是我们怎样才能获得创造力?
I think the creativity roots in imagination. Albert Einstein said that imagination is important than knowledge. Because we should creative a thing that is never appeared, we need to image. Use all the things and information around us to think and then go to achieve it. Without the imagination of the Wright brothers , human could not complete the flying dreams. Without the imagination of the Alexander Graham Bell, we could not hear the voice from a distance. If the creativity can make the human progress, imagination will be the road to success. Where the imagination come from? Knowledge ? Experience ? practice? I consider that all of them are indispensable. It is often said that knowledge is power. So we should empower ourselves with knowledge. After that we need to obtain experience form. practice. These are the basis, and we must strengthen them to extend our imagination.
我认为创造力扎根于想象力。爱因斯坦曾经说过，想象力远远比知识更重要。因为我们要创造一个事物，以前从没有出现过的，因此我们需要想象。利用我们周围所有的事物以及信息去想象，然后去完成它。 没有莱特兄弟的想象力，人类就不能实现飞天的梦想;没有贝尔的想象力，我们就不能听到来自远方的声音。如果说创造力可以使人进步，那么想象力就是通向成功的道路。想象力来自哪里?知识?经验?还是实践?我觉得所有这些都是必不可少的。俗语有云：知识就是力量。所以我们首先应该用知识武装自己，然后我们需要从实践中获得经验。这些都是基础，我们必须用它们来扩展我们的思维。
As contemporary college students, we must shoulder the responsibility of the future of our motherland. What we need is not only the knowledge of the past, but also is the innovation of a new field. Our thought can not be bound by the old things. We should understand that an excellent nation is always full of creativity. So we must promote our imagination. There is no creativity without imagination. That’s all, thank you!
作为一个当代的大学生，我们需要肩负起祖国的未来。我不仅需要旧的知识，而且更要创新新的知识领域。我们的思想不能被旧知识所束缚。我们应该知道，一个优秀的民族永远是一个具有创新性的民族，所以我们必须提升我们的想象力。因为没有想象力就没有创造力。 演讲完毕，谢谢大家!
It's easiest to see this link between fear and the imagination in young children, whose fears are often extraordinarily vivid.
When I was a child, I lived in California, which is, you know, mostly a very nice place to live, but for me as a child, California could also be a little scary.
I remember how frightening it was to see the chandelier that hung above our dining table swing back and forth during every minor earthquake, and I sometimes couldn't sleep at night, terrified that the Big One might strike while we were sleeping.
And what we say about kids who have fears like that is that they have a vivid imagination. But at a certain point, most of us learn to leave these kinds of visions behind and grow up.
We learn that there are no monsters hiding under the bed, and not every earthquake brings buildings down. But maybe it's no coincidence that some of our most creative minds fail to leave these kinds of fears behind as adults.
What we cannot afford to lose
We cannot lose innovation
There is a wonderful word which expresses the most original motions and desires among human-beings. With solving any kind of imperfections, our world has moved ahead. This is the word “innovation” that we cannot afford to lose.
We chicaned every detail of the innovation. Thousands years before, we created fire when we took a stone to knock another one. Since Han Dynasty, four great inventions had been created and it is one of the greatest signs that China become to the ancient civilized country. And nowadays, thousands of software, products, architectures and public facilities have upgraded more than that about 100 years ago. So how did these happen? What will you do if you are not satisfied with your tools anymore? What will you do if old mode cannot afford to develop in a company? There is no doubt that we should innovate no matter where we are and what we do. Not because of the design itself, but actually for its intended purpose.
If there was no Apple, everyone could not imagine how to contact others easily and enjoy a better Internet surfing.
If there was no Microsoft, perhaps we still worked in a dim office and duplicate some troublesome documents. If there was no Newton, and no theory of gravity, maybe I will win the Nobel Prize like Newton rather than just standing here. I have heard that three apple changed the world. The first one seduced Eve. The second one awakened Newton. The third one was in the hands of Steve Jobs. We sort of think the innovation of the world began with apple. I imagine lots of people want to become another Newton or Jobs right now with just one hand to change the world, right? Have the innovation to follow your heart. It somehow already reflects what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
Via questioning, we can start to innovate. Via innovating, we can start to create better lives. No innovation, no improvement. No improvement, no success. And no success, no civilization. Now, our time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life! Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice! Don't let yourself down! It is the innovation that we cannot afford to lose!
As everyone knows,English is very important today.It has been usedeverywhere in the world.It has become the most common language on Internet andfor international trade.

But for myself,I learn English not only because of its importance and itsusefulness,but also because of my love for it.When I learn English, I can feel adifferent way of thinking which gives me more room to touch the world.When Iread English novels,I can feel the pleasure from the book which is differentfrom reading the translation.When I speak English, I can feel the confident frommy words.When I write English,I can see the beauty which is not the same as ourChinese...
I love English,it gives me a colorful dream.I hope I can travel around theworld one day. With my good English, I can make friends with many people fromdifferent contries.I can see many places of great intrests.I dream that I can goto London,because it is the birth place of English.
I also want to use my good English to introduce our great places to theEnglish 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 hardstudy, one day I can speak English very well.
If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So Ibelieve as I love English everyday , it will love me too.
I am sure that I will realize my dream one day!
Thank you!
Today more and more students are inclined to stay up at night.They enjoythe night so much that they don't go to bed until deep into the night or evenuntil the next morning.Hower that would do harm to their health.Students whousually stay up can get tired the next day and they often sleep in class.Theycan't listen to the teachers heart and soul.As time goes on,they will do bad intheir study ,and will be poor health.For these reasons,I would like to advisethose students who are staying up not to do that again!You should go to bedbefore 11 in the evening.Will you take my advice?
It is a good idea to communicate and make friends with others. Nobody witha head on his shoulder is unwilling to have one or more friends.
First, you may learn to say hello to your classmates. With a smile on face,you are more attractive. The student sitting next to you is most likely tobecome your friend because your friend because there are more chances for you tocarry on a conversation with him or her.
Secondly, you may try to ask questions. A good way to let other people knowthat you are interested in them is to ask about what they like and what theythink. It is important for you to be a good listener. Anyone likes to have afriend to talk to. If he or she finds you are easy to talk to, they would haveyou as their friends. But do remember: look at people while they are talking andconcentrate on what they are saying.
Thirdly, try to be a friend in need. A warm-hearted man is easy to developa friendship with others since he offers help to those in trouble.
Finally, you should know that friendship can not be built in one day. Bepatient when you try to know someone and five him or her tie to know aboutyou.
I hope it will be of some help to you.
in modern society, we tend to become more and more aware of our livingenvironment or physical environment, because we are not clean as before. So manypeople now choose their house as to its environment but not its location andexpenses to afford it. As we all know, the environment pollution is more andmore serious during these years, what we could do is to make great efforts inprotecting environment gradually. As to government pollution, as to commonpeople. We also try to protect it and make it remain clean. Although we havemanaged to protect the environment to a certain extent. It is still a very longway to go.
遥远的回忆，儿时的梦想时时刺痛我似乎早已麻木的心灵。
A distant memory, a childhood dream had always hurt me seem numb mind.
说是"似乎"，是因为我还能在今天，还能在《我的未来不是梦》征文比赛上，还能用我这双迟钝的手写下我苦涩的心情。
Say that "seems" because I could today, but also in the "My Future Is Not a Dream" Essay competitions, but also with my handwriting that I am the double slow bitter mood.
我想，如果我的这些心情文字还能重新唤起我的战斗力的话，也不枉我这几个月来对生命的思索。
I think if I can re-evoke the feelings of my characters fighting words, but also tour worthwhile past few months I thought of life.
如果这些文字对大家有一点益处的话。
If these words all of us little good to say.
呜呼!我无话可说，让泪水代表一切吧!
Alas! I have nothing to say, let the tears on behalf of all right!
很小的时候，我就喜欢读书。喜欢读关于周恩来同志的书。
Very young, I like reading. Like reading a book on Zhou Enlai.
是因为我喜欢周那伟大的人格，光明磊落的一生，崇高，在他的身上尤其突出。
Because I like to Premier Zhou was a great personality, honorable life, the noble, in his body in particular.
他没有自己的荣辱得失，连同他的骨灰都被撒进了祖国的江河大地。
He did not honor their own gains and losses, along with his ashes were scattered into the rivers of the earth mother.
他对国家，对人民，连同他的爱情都是一心一意，坚贞不移。
His country, the people, together with his single-minded love is, unchangeable unwavering.
所以，在我心灵的深处，曾立志要做一名伟人，以为榜样，以"为中华之崛起"的理想为理想。
Therefore, in the depths of my mind, had determined to do a great man, as an example the Prime Minister to the Prime Minister, "China's rise as" ideal for the ideal.
还喜欢读关于张海迪和张海迪写的书，从这些书的字里行间，我总能找到两个字——坚强。
Also like to read about Zhang Haidi and Zhang Haidi write a book, from these books read between the lines, I can always find a word - strong.
张海迪的一生是不幸的，但又是幸运的。
Zhang Heidi's life is unfortunate, but fortunate.
不幸的是她从小身患重病，幸运的同样是因为她从小就重病在身。
Unfortunately, she was seriously ill since childhood, is also lucky because her childhood ill health.
正因为他的幸与不幸，再加上他的坚强，才成就了日后的她。
Because he's a bad, plus his strong achievements in the future before her.
试想，如果她一直就是一个和你我一样的身体健壮者，那么大家想想她成功的几率会有多大？
Just think, if she has been and is a strong body like you and me who, if you think her chances of success will be how much？
其实这个问题我们想想自己就知道了，那么请就在这个时刻认真思考一下我们自己吧!
In fact, ask yourself this question we know, then please at this time to seriously think about our own it!
是的，张海迪是一个崇高的普通人。
Yes, Heidi is a noble Zhang ordinary.
我也曾经想做一个成功的普通人，通过坚强，通过奋斗，打造一个不平凡的自己，开创一片出于自己的天地。
I have also tried to be an ordinary person of success, through strong, through the struggle to create an extraordinary themselves, to create a world out of their own.
可是，现在，到现在我做了什么呢？我做了什么去实现我的梦想呢？
But now, now I do it？ What did I do to make my dreams come true？

是的，我得到了，主席，部长，'优干''三好'，荣誉挂满了的全身。
Yes, I have been, the President, ministers, 'You dry''Miyoshi', honor covered with the body.
这就是崇高吗？蓦然，我转身一笑，不屑的一笑。
This is the highest it？ Suddenly, I turned to smile, contemptuous smile.
这样的崇高我最好不要：好累。
This high I'd better not: so tired.
还是做一个真实的自我比较好，奖金不拿，荣誉不争。
Or do a real self better, do not take money, honor indisputable.
上课想睡就睡,想上通宵就上，想逃课就逃。
Class sleep all, want to go to the overnight, like skipping ran away.
说我不崇高吗？无所谓。
That I do not noble it？ Does not matter.
说我犯错误吗？我不怕，反正我还年轻，不是有人说过：犯错误是年轻人的天性吗？
That I make mistakes it？ I am not afraid, anyway, I'm still young, not someone say: making mistakes is the nature of young people do？
于是我便放纵着自己，在自己编织的网中胡乱的挣扎。
So I will indulge with their own, weaving in their own net in the wild fight.
想逃，却始终找不到呼吸的缺口。回首往事，展望未来，无尽的空虚压在了我的心头，想大声高呼，可声音已变得嘶哑;想努力回望，却发现对儿时已没有了记忆;看看前方，云遮雾拦，虚无缥茫。
Bailing, but still can not find the gaps in breathing .Looking back, Looking ahead, the endless emptiness down on my heart, like shouting out loud, can voice had become hoarse; want to look back, they found that a child has no memory; look at the front, clouds, fog bar, nothing misty Mang.
我就像站在高山之巅，空旷的头脑已没有了方向，眩晕，眩晕......
I like standing on top of mountains, open mind has no direction, dizziness, vertigo ......
唉!呜呼哀哉!
Alas! Blown from the water!
我到底是怎么了？我是谁？
I am in the end is how it？ Who am I？
我怎么会站在这里？你们怎么又会坐在那里？
How can I stand here？ How will you sit？
忽然，我醒了，啊，原来是一场梦!仅是一场梦而已。

Students, we come from? To hear this question, I am sure you will say that parents are taken to put us up in the world. Yes ah, one day more than a decade ago, our parents happy with tears and smiles to greet the arrival of the U.S.. But when we came to the world the moment that many parents have a hard job - we take care of. This is even though a heavy burden, but has no complaints to parents raising me up.
In order to give us a comfortable living environment, they are always so hard, then the effort. Small, I always treat this issue as a matter of course, because I do not know, nor do I know the hard work of parents. Now, I grew up, and I know with a heart of Thanksgiving to appreciate their parents, should take on, take care of, the responsibility of your parents
There is an old said: "The milk of the sheep have to kneel TU, A feed has meaning." Bit by bit, our growth can not be separated from their parents to help when the water springs of the TU reported that, therefore, we should know how to feel gratitude for it, know how to thank their parents .
Call us first time parents, first step towards independence, the first to write a word askew when ... ... are parents around to teach us patience. Parents, are giving us God does not require any modification of the sustenance of the soul.
When we are confronted with difficulties, to devote all of us to help people, their parents are.
When we are wronged, to be patient to listen to our cry of the people, their parents are.
When we make mistakes, he will not hesitate to forgive us who are parents.
When we succeed, would like for us to celebrate, to share with us the pleasure, are the parents.
And now far away in our field study, it is still concerned about our parents.
Now I left the distant parents, came here, the mother will ask me homesick, I very firmly said: "No, certainly not!"
But to the school, in the face of unfamiliar faces unfamiliar environment, I want to cry well. Are upset when the home to the phone, the mother the right to ask me please. My tears quickly down, and tried to not let her find.
Not familiar with the latter slowly, although it was no longer such as homesickness, but there are always unhappy when the advent of a lot of times at night, when feeling lonely, they will naturally think of distant family members, think of it in the remote mountain village in their own lives more than a dozen of the Spring and Autumn, and a phone call out greetings and listen to the voices of parents and that kind.
If the mother is always a few, but each time I was swept away the boredom, disappeared: "Children in school right? Anything better at home, not to miss too much."
Always miss my mother, my diet iving, asked me in the distant land still used to the life, always asked of me to take care of the body, the mother-friendly sound, so I do not miss how the family it?
Phone, some hoarse voice of his father, the father honestly going to say too much so, the phone, he always ask me "are not eating, there is no cost of living, the better to eat it." But I was well aware that his father with his hard-working to raise his children, with his simple character education of his children, his father is proud of the Child.不善言辞rallied behind him, he put into the love to other people talk about when their children face in a brilliant smile.
In our rural areas, raising me and my brother is not easy, let alone reading we want to send. Faced with huge fees, parents insist teeth, and put the burden of any of their livelihood on the shoulder bending, no complaints.
Now, we are studying or working outside, guarding the empty house, then the phone will become the parents of the happy things. Us a call back and tell other parents some乐滋滋situation. I think that they are perhaps the most happy moment.
While at home is far, far more than thousands of miles away from their parents, but parents also give care at the time around my side, my parents give me endless effort to encourage one another through the lonely times, they are the spirit of my pillar.
Life is not perfect as imagined, our parents are not hard to understand, although we should not live with their parents to share the hardships of a difficult start, but we can be less in their daily lives for their parents to worry about. When parents fall ill, we should take responsibility, take care of their parents? Want to know, even if an interest in words, even a bowl of instant noodles themselves to do a good job, parents who will comfort the hearts of our anxiety in every possible way. Parent Thanksgiving, is not difficult to do.
Will remember to thank our long-distance may be on the road give us a bowl of water to drink the ladies, perhaps will remember our appreciation to the seat of the big brother, will recall that appreciation may be hard to train our own teachers ... ... yes, they of course want to thank us, and can be At the same time, we should not forget that parents are always the most worthy of our appreciation of the people!
As for this essay, I want the person who likes travel to read. And, I alsowant the person who yearns to the solitary journey to read.
I like travel very much. I often go to travel. It meets a lot of peoplewhen traveling. It can touch not only the person but also the region. Therefore,it comes to want to go even times how many.
I was traveling and all the people met had a very warm mind. It was verykind. There is a person who taught variety of land, too. I do not think meetingwith two another degrees in the person. However, I do not think that I forget.Because, The reason is that there are a lot of very good memories.
Therefore, travel is not stopped. It went to not only the country but alsoforeign countries. The communication of the intention can have been done withthe person in the country though the word did not run well. However, I thoughtthat the handicap of the word was large. I thought it was good if the word couldbe understood more many times. Therefore, I think that I should study thelanguage study more. It can meet the one different according to the land whentraveling. The tourist spot is, and there is a lot of one not so either. Thereare a lot of very good points of the place taught to the person in local.Therefore, it is always made to speak. I have not traveled still alone. I wantto go out to travel alone sometimes. How about you? Traveling with someone isalso good. However, I yearn to the solitary journey very much. It is not, andyearns for the destination to free travel. I want to go out to unrestrainedtravel some time.
Finally, I yearn to the solitary journey. However, I do not hate tourtravel. I think that there is a merit also in the tour. I think that travelingwith the person who does not know also has the enjoyment. However, I likeindependent tour more. Which do you like?
我当时正在旅行，所有的人都有一个非常温暖的心。这是很好。也有一个人教授各种各样的土地。我不认为在这个人身上有两个学位。然而，我不认为我忘记了。因为，原因是有很多美好的回忆。
因此，旅行并没有停止。不仅是国家，而且是外国。尽管这个词的运行不太好，但意图的传达却可以与这个国家的人进行。然而，我认为这个词的障碍很大。我认为如果这个词能被理解更多的次数，那就更好了。因此，我认为我应该更多地学习语言学习。在旅行时，它可以根据陆地的不同而不同。旅游景点是，也有很多人不是这样。这个地方有很多很好的地方教当地人。因此，它总是被用来说话。我没有独自旅行。我有时想单独出去旅行。你呢?和别人一起旅行也很好。然而，我非常渴望孤独的旅程。它不是，并渴望自由旅行的目的地。我想出去旅行一段时间。
最后，我渴望孤独的旅程。然而，我并不讨厌旅行。我认为这次旅行也有一定的价值。我认为和不认识的人一起旅行也有乐趣。不过，我更喜欢独立旅行。你喜欢哪一个?
大家都知道，每年的十月三十一日是万圣节，万圣节那天，每人要穿着鬼服装，你们知道这是为什么吗?哈哈，我就告诉你们吧：因为西方国家的新年在十一月，他们认为过年前一晚，有很多鬼出没，有精灵、妖精、吸血鬼等，我们穿着鬼服装，他们以为我们也是鬼，就不怕了，所以我们要穿鬼服装。
那你们知道为什么要做南瓜灯呢?我也来告诉你们吧：因为鬼要骗我们，比如说堕落天使，他们就是人类的敌人，我们在南瓜灯上刻了一个鬼脸，就是笑他们，笨蛋才会上你们当呢!
我想你们也知道了了万圣节的由来了吧!
Everyone knows that Halloween is on October 31st every year, and onHalloween, everyone is dressed in ghost costumes. Do you know why? Ha ha, I willtell you: because the western New Year in November, they think that the nightbefore New Year, there are a lot of haunted by the ghost, elves, goblins,vampires, we wear ghost costumes, they think we are ghosts, not afraid, so wehave to wear ghost costumes.
So why do you want to make a jack-o '-lantern? I'll tell you: because theywant to cheat us, for example the fallen angels, they are the enemy of mankind,we carved an image of a face on the pumpkin, they is a smile, when a foolmeeting you!
I think you know the origin of Halloween!
创新，一个我们耳熟能详的词。尤其是这样一个飞速发展的时代，这个词时时撞击我们的耳膜。但是，创新，其丰富的内涵，却是许多人尽其一生孜孜以求，也未必可以充分了解的。
朋友，你认识创新吗?
创新其实是一个梦想。
中国古代曾有一个人，背负纸做的翅膀，义无反顾地纵身跳下高高的山崖，希冀像鸟儿一样飞翔在晴空。在粉身碎骨跳下的一瞬间，他是否隐约看到了碧空中可以自由翱翔的飞机?
英国有一位作家，在他一生的作品中，尽情幻想，将热气球、潜水艇、电报提前了几十、甚至几百年带入我们的生活。在凡尔纳下笔的一刹那，他是否已经预先看到了遥远的未来?
梦想标示着丰富的想象力，想象力为创新提供源泉。创新从梦想中蜕变，以梦想为根，受梦想浇灌。像永不失天真的爱因斯坦吹出的肥皂泡，在空冥的大地上，不断破灭又不断上升。
创新需要怀疑与批判。
怀疑是创新的萌芽，批判是创新的成长。在怀疑中发现错误，在批判中改正错误，创新才能完成。然而怀疑的精神、批判的勇气，人们为之付出了太多太多。
1543年的春天，人们震惊了，一个人，他居然宣称地球是围绕太阳转的。上帝啊!让这个人不得好死。人们肆意地嘲笑，诅咒。
终于，诅咒灵验了，六十七年后的一天，在美丽的罗马鲜花广场，那个虔诚地捍卫并发展了太阳中心学说的布鲁诺被高高地绑在十字架上。一个火把投向他，烧焦的肉体发出一阵阵异味。死亡的气息在游荡。突然，一个声音从那扭曲的身躯中迸发出来：“火并不能把我征服，未来的世界会了解我，知道我的价值。”
是的，火并没有征服他，那愤怒的火焰，那毁灭的火焰，只能把挂在伪真理脸上的面具烧焦。弥漫在鲜花广场的灰烬不愿散去，它要告诉我们：创新，踏着用生命证明了的怀疑与批判，终究会打破传统的桎梏，得到永生。
创新要求深刻。
我们都知道，阿基米德在洗澡时发现了浮力定律，成就了科学史上的一段美谈。可是我们是否还记得曹冲称象的故事?那可爱的孩子也不自觉地运用着浮力定律。然而，后者只被当成一个睡前故事流传于孩子们的枕边，前者却孕育了物理学的一个基本原理。
有时候，创新并不是很难，说不准什么时候，一个思想的火花闪过，创新就来到眼前。可火花不能长久，创新却要求永恒。于是创新要求深刻的思考，追求本质的东西，要求我们更进一步地去挖掘它具有的创新意识。
然而挖掘不是最难，最难的是那意识的产生。你一定游过泳，一定玩过水，你一定感受到过水的压力，但你能说，你可以造出浮力定律吗?甚至你敢说，会想到用水来称象吗?恐怕不敢吧?生活中许多事情就是这样，在你经历时，就已触摸到创新的边缘了，然而我们却没有那个观念，有意识地将创新完成。
作为大学生，我们的知识仍然贫乏，也许我们不能有多少伟大的具体的创新。但是我们一定要培养我们的创新意识。这意识中包含着许多内容。首先，我们要学会梦想，学会不为现实堵塞我们的天真，不时地做一做童年的梦，想一想飞上火星的浪漫，想一想生活于外太空的美妙。不要只盯着别墅、跑车，做物质的奴隶。然后，让我们学会怀疑与批判。不要吓倒在老师那威严的面孔下，不要认为凡是印成了铅字的东西就是真理。昆德拉说：“人类一思考，上帝就发笑。”相信自己，坚持怀疑，敢于批判，不惧权威，方显英雄本色。再次，让我们深沉一下，稳重一点，不妨压抑一下青春的律动，多思考一些东西，多研究一些学问，不要有了一个奇特的创意，一个未闻的发现就妄自高兴，而到实践时却束手无策。最后也是最重要的，就是要培养自己的创新意识，尤其是对专业中新事物的敏感度。伦琴因为一张被感光了的底片，意识到X射线的存在，最终获得第一届诺贝尔奖，牛顿因为一只落下的苹果而发现万有引力。他们对于专业的敏锐，是我们在学习中真正要掌握到手的知识。
认识创新。“认”是一个认知，明白其表象的过程;而“识”是一个理解，探索其本质含义的过程。认识创新，我们不仅仅要“认”，更重要的是要“识”。
Innovation, one we are familiar with the word .In particular, this is an era of
rapid development , the word always hit our eardrums . However , innovation and its rich connotation, is that many people do their assiduous life , it may not be able tofully understand.Friend , do you know innovation ?
Innovation is actually a dream.
Ancient China had a man ,burdened wings made of paper , hesitate to jump as high cliff , hoping to fly like a bird in the clear sky . Jumped in pieces at the moment whether
he could vaguely see the blue sky in the freedom of flying airplanes?
Britain has a writer, works in his lifetime , enjoy fantasy, the hot air balloon , submarine ,telegraph ahead of dozens , or even hundreds of years into our lives.
Verne pen down at the moment ,whether he had previously seen the distant future ? Dreams marked rich imagination , imagination as a source of innovation . Innovative transformation from dream to dream is the root, watered by the dream . Einstein never lost innocence like blowing soap bubbles in the air offerings of the earth,constantly shattered and constantly rising .
Innovation requires suspicion and criticism .Suspected to be the seeds of innovation , critical innovation growth. Errors found in doubt , correct the error in the criticism , innovation to complete.
However, skepticism , criticism of courage, people pay the price too much.The spring of 1543 , people shocked , a person, he actually claimed that the earth revolves around the sun .
God, ah ! Let this person Budehaosi . People wanton laugh ,curse.Finally ,the curse come true , the day after 1978 , in the beautiful Rome Campo de 'Fiori, the religiously defended and developed the center of the sun is high in the doctrine of Bruno tied to the cross. A torch toward him, and sent waves smell of burnt flesh . The smell of death in the wandering . Suddenly, a voice from that distorted body burst out : "Fire does not make me conquer the future of the world will know me , and know my worth ."
Yes, the fights did not conquer
him, and that the flames of anger , and that the destruction of the flame , only
to hang in the pseudo- truth face mask burning. Filled in the
Campo de 'Fiori reluctant to disperse the ashes , it has to tell us: innovation
, marching with his life proved suspicion and criticism , will eventually break
the traditional shackles and have eternal life.
Innovation requires profound .
We all know that in the bath
Archimedes discovered the law of buoyancy , the achievements of science in the
history of a brother's wife. But we still
remember Cao Chong said the elephant story ? Lovely children do not consciously use the law of
buoyancy . However, the latter only as a
bedtime story being circulated in the children's pillow , the former has given
birth to one of the basic principles of physics .
Sometimes, innovation is not
difficult , can not say what time the spark of an idea flashed , innovation came
to hand. Sparks can not last long , but
innovation requires eternity. So innovation requires deep
thinking , the pursuit of the essence of things, require us to dig further it
has a sense of innovation .
However, mining is not the most difficult , the most difficult is that conscious generation. You must swam , played some water, you will feel the pressure over the water , but you can say that you can create buoyancy do ? Even if you say , think of water as it came to be called ? I'm afraid not , right ? Is so many things in life , in your experiences, had to touch the edge of innovation , yet we do not have that concept , consciously innovative complete.
As college students, our knowledge is still poor , maybe we can not have a great number of specific innovations.
But we must nurture our sense of innovation. It contains many elements of consciousness .
First, we must learn to dream , learn not reality clogging our innocence, from time to time to make a childhood dream to do , think about Mars fly romantic , think about the beauty of living in outer space . Do not just stare at the villa , sports car, doing physical slaves. Then, let us learn to doubtand criticism . Do not intimidated by the teacher that majestic face , do not think that all printed in lead type stuff is the truth. Kundera said: " a thinking human beings , God laughs ." Believe in yourself, doubts persist , the courage to criticize , fear of authority , the hero character . Again,let us look deep , steady light, it may look youthful rhythm depressed ,thinking something more to study some knowledge , do not have a strange idea, anunheard of discovery to pretend happy, but to practice Shique helpless. Finally, and most important , is to develop their own sense of innovation, especially for professionals in the sensitivity of new things . Roentgen because one is a photographic negatives and realized the existence of X-rays , and ultimately won the first Nobel Prize , Newton as a falling apple and discovered gravity . They professional
acumen is that we really want to master in learning hand knowledge.Recognizing innovation . "Recognize " is a perception,understand the process of representation ; and " knowledge" is an understandingof the process of exploring its essential meaning . Recognizing innovation, we not only want to"recognize ", but it is important to " know ."
Recently our class has conducted a survey about “The Growth of Post-90's Generation". People have different opinions on it. Most people believe the post-90’s generation have an edge
over/are superior to others in that they are more independent in thinking, more ambitious, more confident and more enthusiastic. They are open to new ideas and ready to try new things, therefore, they are usually better informed. communicate. However, some argue that the post-90's generation are much too dependent on their parents or on teachers and they lack social experience. As a result, they are less able to overcome frustration. They do not focus on their studies as much and lack the sense of responsibility. Moreover, Besides, they cherish friendship and like to
they are weak in controlling themselves and often show no respect for others. As youth born in the 90s, we should be aware of our and responsibilities, and learn to be more independent. Only in this way can we be successful in the future.
译文：最近我们班进行了一项调查关于“90后的一代”的发展。人们有不同的意见。
大多数人认为90后的一代胜过/优于别人在思考,他们更独立,更宏伟,更自信,更热情。他们是开放的新 思想和准备尝试新事物,因此,他们通常更好的通知。此外,他们珍惜友谊,喜欢交流。 然而,一些人认为90后的一代太依赖他们的父母或老师,他们缺乏社会经验。因此,他们不太能够克服挫 折。他们不关注他们的研究,缺乏责任感。此外,他们脆弱的在控制自己,经常显示不尊重他人。 作为在 90 年代出生的青年,我们应该意识到我们的责任,并学会更加独立。只有用这种方法我们才能在 未来获得成功。
Everybody has a dream,Martin Lutherking has a dream----and we can all recall his Civil Rights Speech.
Phil Knight had a dream --and now the wohole world knows his Nike slogan:"just do it.
" I also have a dream I have a dream, that is, one day my parents get old, they will not have any diseases, any pains or any sorrow.
They will live happily until the day they have to leave for the other world.
There’s always plenty of sunshine in their everyday life.
This is my dream and it is my greatest happiness.
I have a dream, that is, one day all the dogs in the world will have their homes.
They will be kindly taken care of, they will be deeply loved and they will be the most valuable friends to people.
I also hope, all the people in the world will realize that dogs are the connection between human beings and heaven.
This is my dream and it is my greatest happiness.
I have a dream, that is one day there will be no wars in the world.
No blood, no wounds, no deaths, no hate, only love and responsibility.
We live together and love each other.
There is no difference between us.
this is my dream, this my greatest happiness.
I have a dream , I have thousands of dreams.
I dream that one day they can come true.
This is my dream and it is my greatest happiness.
people’ hopes and ideals.
different people have different ideas about success; cause people’s hopes and ideas vary from one another. but i am sure every success is dear to everybody, cause it is not easy to come by, cause in the process of our striving for success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightened by the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and sense of responsibility. these are the best treasures. so now i am very proud that i have this opportunity to stand here speaking to all of you. it is my success, cause i raise up to challenge my hope.
what is success? everyone has his own interpretation as i do. but i am sure
every success leads to an ever-brighter future. so ladies and gentlemen, believe in our hopes, believe in ourselves, we, every one of us, can make a
successful life!
i have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed-we hold theses truths to be self-oevident, that all men are created equal. i have a dream that one day on the red hills of georgia, sons of former slaves and sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood. i have a dream my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. i have a dream today! when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and hamlet, from every state and city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of god’s children-black men and white men , jews and gentiles, catholics and protestants-will be able to join hands and to sing in the words of the old negro spiritual, “free at least ,free at last . thank god almighty, we are free at last.”
Human activity & the Earth
The quality of human life has improved greatly over the past few centuries, but Earth is being harmed more and more by human activity. As we develop our technology, we demand more from our planet. Eventually, this will harm people as well.
Our planet gives us everything we need, but natural resources are not endless. Strip mining devastates whole regions, leaving bare and useless ground. Deforestation removes old growth trees that can't be replaced. Too much fishing may harm fish populations to the point where they can't recover. We are too careless in taking what we want without giving anything back.
There are more people than ever, living longer that ever. So is it any surprise that many areas suffer from too much development? Anyone living in or near a city has experienced "urban sprawl". There is a new shopping area on every corner and new houses, townhouses and apartments everywhere. Traffic gets worse and worse because planners can't keep up with growth. Keeping up with human demand is hard enough. Environmental concerns come in last.
With growth comes pollution. Companies and communities dump waste into water. Landfills are full of trash. Emissions from factories pollute the air. Barrels of industrial waste and worse, radioactive waste, have no safe place to go. If we're not careful, we can harm our planet beyond repair.
People need to respect the Earth and try to preserve it. If we don't, what kind of future will we have?
A Chief Executive officer is not necessarily someone who has had a lot offormal training.So, I doubt moreschooling would help you climb up that ladder ofsuccess.
Maybe you should try and change your work habits or character. You cannotjust sit around in an organization waiting for people to promote you. You haveto let people know you are ambitious and waiting for biggerand more rewardingchallenges. You should tell your supervisor or boss that you want to be promotedand rise up that management ladder. A good manager will accept, even respect thefact that you wish for career development. If this is not the case, you shouldfind a new job or new company that will allow you to grow.
You must start out small. Hoping that one day you will suddenly becomedirector of a company is doubtful. Getting ready for a slow ascent is morelikely. Accept it, and commit yourself, realizing that it may be alongclimb.
You will need some skills to propel you up that ladder of success.You mustbe competent, that is you need to develop skills in many areas, such asmarketing, human resources, public relations and finances.
You must also be a good people person, always cultivating relationshipswith the people around you.Having “guanxi” is a necessary characteristic of anysuccessful CEO.
公司的首席执行官未必都是经过许多正规培训的人。所以，我认为接受更多的学校教育未必就能促使你在成功的阶梯上步步高升。
也许，你应该试着改变工作习惯或性格。不能仅仅在一个单位里坐等别人来提升你。必须让人们知道你胸怀大志，正在等待更大的、回报更多的挑战。应该告诉你的上司或老板：你想得到提拔，登上管理者的阶层。一位好经理将会理解，甚重你发展亊业的愿望。假如情况不是这样的话，你就应该另谋髙就，以使自己得到发展。
必须从小处开始做起。幻想着有一天突然当上某公司的领导是不太现实的。作好准备慢慢地升迁，可能性更大。接受现实，全力以赴，要意识到这可能是一种漫长的攀登。
你需要掌握一些促使自己往上爬升的技能。你必须具备胜任工作的各种能力。换句话说，你必须具备诸如市场营销、人力资源、公关和财务等方面的技能。
你也必须要有良好的人缘，营造与周围的人黻洽的关系，好的"关系"是任何一位成功的首席执行官必备的要素。
There are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years.One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water andsoil. the polluted air does great harm to people’s health. The polluted watercauses diseases and death. What is more, vegetation had been greatly reducedwith the rapid growth of modern cities.
To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot.Legislative steps have been introduced to control air pollution, to protect theforest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution. Therefore,governments are playing the most important role in the environmental protectiontoday.
In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even moreconcrete measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance ofenvironmental protection through education. Second, much more efforts should bemade to put the
population planning policy into practice, because more people means morepeople means more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the environmentintentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know thatdestroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.
目前环保还存在着许多问题。最严重的问题就是空气、水和土壤的严重污染。污染的空气对人类的健康十分有害。污染的水引起疼病，造成死亡。更有甚者，随着现代社会的迅速扩建，植被大大的减少。
为了保护环境，各国政府做了大量的工作。采用了立法措施控制大气污染，保护森林资源和海洋资源，制止任何环境污染。因此，在当今的环保中政府起着最重要的作用。
我的看法是，为了保护环境，政府应当采取更具体的措施。首先，应当通过教育的方法使人们充分謒到环境保护的重要性。第二，应更加努力把计划生育政策付诸实施，因为人口多就意味着污染严重。最后，要严惩那些故意破坏环境者。使他们破坏环境就是毁灭人类自己。
Hello,everybody !it is my great honor to be here to share my idea with you .Today,I will talk something about DREAM——A word that has changed the world .
“What do you think is the word that has really changed our world ”
When I was asked about this question for the first time ,without thinking it too much ,a word flash into my mind ——DREAM ,D-R-E-A-M.People more or less dream about different things ,to be a teacher ,a doctor ,a scientist ,a businessman and so on .All these people who have dreams should be respected ,because Dreams make the world go around .We grow great by our dreams.All big men are great dreamers in their youth.Everyone has a dream ,and everything starts as one’s daydream.
Martin Luther king had a dream.He desired for a future where blacks and whites would coexist harmoniously as equals.By speaking the way he did,he educated,he inspired,he informed not just the people there,but people throughout America and unborn generations.He pushed forward the pace of American black society towards the racial equality .
Thomas Edison had a dream.He dreamed of a lamp that could be operated by electricity,began where he stood to put his dream into action,and despite more than ten thousand failures,he stood by that dream until he made it a physical reality!And today,his dream lights up the world at night.
Walt Disney had a dream.This,in itself,wasn't unusual -- he was always dreaming.He dreamed of making the first animated feature film,and of building an amusement park that parents could enjoy right along with their kids.Walt Disney empowered his dream and today,Disneyland,Disney world and Disney theme parks attract around the world thrill millions of visitors each and every year.
John F.kennedy had a dream.He wanted to land a man on the moon and return him safely to earth so as to restore faith in the American way of life.John F.kennedy empowered his dream and 8 years later Neil Armstrong stepped on the face of the moon.The moon landing certainly gave Americans new found confidence.
Dream --- A word that has changed the world Yes ,I would say so ,wouldn’t you
Youth is a special life relay station ,the growth with the worry ,the life feeling become aware happily with the dream ,collected a unique youth melody in here .
We decide.We choose.And as we decide and choose,so are our lives formed.In the end,forming our own destiny is what ambition is about.And most importantly ,You are the one you choose to be.
It is easy to waste our lives ,our days ,our minutes .It is easy to exist than living .So hold fast to your dreams,For if dreams die,life is a broken-winged bird,That cannot fly.Hold fast to your dreams,For when dreams go,life is a barren field,Frozen with snow.
My name is Angel; I am from class 1, grade 5. Today I’m going to talk about low carbon lifestyle. What is low carbon life?
Low carbon life is to reduce carbon in the air. We know that when we burn something to make electricity, we make the air dirty and increase the carbon dioxide; when we drive cars, the carbon dioxide is also increased.
Because of the high-consumption and high-pollution economy, the population increases quickly and the global climate changes repeatedly. The resources that people rely on to survive become less and less. Those are having a bad effect on our health, making us unhealthy. Therefore, low carbon life is important to us.
As a student, we should develop good habits in our daily lives. We can select products with longer shift life when we shop. This can reduce waste and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Paper cups are made from cutting forests. We should try not to use them, or select the smaller ones when we do because trees can absorb carbon dioxide and reduce greenhouse gas. We should use efficient light bulbs and the lights should be turned off when not needed.We should not waste food, so that the machines do not need to produce more. In this way, energy and electricity can be saved.
In the future, we will study harder to find new and better ways to have a low carbon lifestyle, so everybody will live a wonderful low carbon life.
Thank you everybody!
Good afternoon! everyone! Nice to meet you all here.Now let me introduce myself.My name is .I'm from the .and my topic is “HARD WORK LEADS TO SUCCESS”. I hope you will like it .
First I want to ask you a question.what brought people to success? Yes,the answer is you must work hard .
We have learned that those who rise to the heights in any field aren’t those with the greatest natural talent,but those who working harder and harder. Of course,for hard work to really pay off,we need to work effectively,here’s how:
The first one is “follow your dream”.you must have a direction for your work.Set your objectives early,then devote all your energies to achieving them. And the second is “block out the time”To be beneficial,you must be regular。For example,if you want to be an experienced engineer ,then you must to give up many leisure time,you must to studying hard,summing up your experiences for years..
The third is “take One step at a time”.don’t aim to reach the top in a single session,just try to improve by one percent over the session before.
And the forth is “look back”. May be you can ask yourself frequently.“Am I have any “soft spots”?”if you do,try to find them and make some effort to identify the weaknesses,then try to do better tomorrow.
The last is “hold out a carrot”,whatever your work needs,always hold out a reward for your achievement. For example ,if you finish the day’s scheduled work,you can go out watching a movie or just eating with your good friends, such a reward will inspire you to work harder and harder.
Ladies and gentlemen,we all know work is a chance to find yourself.if you think of work as a punishment,how can you achieve your goals?
Ladies and gentlemen,Working hard does have its drawbacks ,its difficukties and painful moments,sometimes maybe you want to give up the whole thing.but we all believe,after all the drawbacks,there’s a benefit.
Hard work is the way to the end of the rainbow.
Ladies and gentlemen,let’s working harder and harder,for ourselves,for our company and for our country.and this is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech.
You have been a very attentive audience,thank you ,thank you all.
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 and mugging can’t be worse for studying. In such cases, what measures should be taken to improve the campus security?
On 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。
I like to go out with my parents, they will take me to differentrestaurants. In the restaurants, they like to order different food for me totaste them. My parents know me so much, they know I like to eat delicious food,so when they order the new food for me, it makes so happy, I like myparents.
译文：我喜欢和我的父母外出，他们会带我去不同的饭店。在饭店里，他们会为我点不同的食物来让我品尝。我的父母很了解我，他们知道我喜欢吃美味的食物，所以当他们为我点新食物的时候，我很高兴，我喜欢我的父母。
A we know, mot of the thing in our life have to be bought withmoney.Butmoney i not the only in the world.Money can not buy many thing uch atime andtrue love.
There are 24 hour in a day.When we are happy, we hope the timewouldlonger.But no matter what we do, or how much money we pend.We cannot makeaday lat 25 hour.Another thing money cannot buy i true love.Money can buy ulargehoue, beautiful clothe, but can’t buy time and love.
正如我们所知，生活中大部分事情都需要金钱。但是金钱不是唯一的，很多东西金钱买不到，比如时间和真爱。
一天有24小时，当我们快乐时，我们希望时间会可以更长。但是无论我们怎么做，花多少钱，都不可能让一天有25个小时。另外金钱买不到的是真爱，金钱可以买到大房子，漂亮的衣服，但买不到时间和真爱。
我的英语口语曾经很差，我以为我永远也学不好。新采的老师建议我每天大声朗读。可是开始时我无法读下去，不会的词太多。我都不想再学英语了。就在那时，有个声音告诉我：“不要放弃，加油!”于是我坚持每天朗读半个小时。现在我的口语进步了很多，我还在学校的英语演讲比赛中得过一等奖呢!
My spoken English used to be very poor. I thought I could never make anyproGREss in it. A new English teacher suggested that I should read aloud everyday. But at the beginning, I could hardly go on. There were too many new words.I didn't want to study English any more. Just then, a voice told me, "Never giveup, come on! "Then I persisted in reading aloud for half an hour every day. Nowit is improved a lot. I have even won the first prize in our school's oralEnglish contest.
人与环境是和谐相处的，我们生存在地球上，人是自然之子，而不能仅把人看作自然的征服者，大家都知道，人类只有一个地球，地球上的山山水水、动物。植物是人类的细胞，如果我们把它损坏了，破坏了大自然的组织，等于消灭人类。因此，环境要与社会公德联系起来，与实践行为作为人格教育的一项重要内容来抓。每个人都要履行保护环境的责任和义务。
Harmony with the environment is that we live in on Earth, who is a naturalson, and not only to natural persons as the conqueror, as we all know, there isonly one earth and the mountains on Earth, the animals. Plant human cells, if itdamaged, destroyed nature organizations, to the eradication of mankind.Therefore, the environment must be linked with social ethics, charactereducation and practice acts as an important element of it. Everyone must fulfilits responsibilities and obligations to protect the environment.
