Ladies and Gentlemen , Good afternoon! I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. I hope you will like it .
I want to be a teacher when I listen to my teacher carefully. I think I can be a teacher when I grow up. I can help many students learn things well. I can play with my students, too. So we are good friends. I want to be a doctor when I see many doctors save their patients. To be a doctor is really great. I think I can be a doctor when I grow up. Then I can help many people out of danger. I will be the happiest girl in the world. I want to be a reporter when I watch TV every evening.
We can get lots of important information from them. They make the world smaller and also make us happy. I would like to be a reporter when I grow up. And I can learn a lot about China and the other countries around the world. I can meet many superstars as well. I have lots of dreams. I think my dreams can come true one day, because there’s an old saying “where there is a will, there is a way.”

youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the
emotions : it is the freshne; it is the freshneof the deep springs of life .
youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . nobody grows old merely by a number of years . we grow old by deserting our ideals.
years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .
whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living . in the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wirelestation : so long as it receives messages of初中英语演讲稿beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
when the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.
thank you!

Everyone knows the name of Shakespeare but not much about his personal life.
Do you know how William Shakespeare lived before he went to London?
What about his family?
What were his dreams and ambitions?
What did he do when he first came to London to try his fortune?
Today, I want to introduce the early life of William Shakespeare and his great influence to the world.
Family:
Shakespeare was born and pought up in Stratford . He was the son of John Shakespeare, an alderman and a successful glover, and Mary Arden , the daughter of a landowning farmer. He had two older sisters, Joan and Judith , and two younger pothers, Gilbert and Richard.
At the age of 18, Shakespeare married 26-year-old Anne Hathaway , who was an English poet, actor and playwright.Six months after the marriage Anne gave birth to a daughter, Susanna in 1583. Twins, a son and a daughter followed almost two years later and were born in 1585. As Shakespeare had some good friends, Hamnet and Judith Sadler, he named the twins after them, so his son was calledHamnet and his daughter Judith. Unfortunately, in 1596, his son Hamnet died of unknown causes at the age of 11.
This is thefamily tree of Shakespeare’s family and this picture depicts Shakespeare as a family man surrounded by his children, who listened to his stories. Anne was portrayed at the right as an idealized housewife, sewing a garment.
Dreams and ambitions:
When Shakespeare was young, he had a dream of being a poet. With great ambition and determination, Shakespeare was diligent in his studies. He read a lot about books, poetry and writers. When he left school, he worked for his father. However, Shakespeare wasn’t interested in his father’s business. He was still reading a lot and was already writing poems himself.
In the summer months companies of players often came to small towns, and in 1587 five different companies came. Shakespeare always went to see the plays. He loved to talk to the actors and to listen to all their stories of London. He yearned for London, and therefore, he made a decision to get away from his hometown and left for London to pursue his goal.
Early life in London:
Shakespeare was good at acting. He worked for the Queen’s Men at the theatre called The Curtain up in Shoreditch. He acted four small parts in two different plays. He played a soldier and a murderer in one play, and in the other play he was a thief, and also an Italian lord in love with the Queen of the Night. And he loved it.
One day, Shakespeare met Burbage, an actor of Lord Strange ’s Men , who invited him to work with Lord Strange’s Men at the Rose theatre on Bankside. Shakespeare worked harder than ever at the Rose. By 1592 London was hearing the name William Shakespeare again and again.
After 1594, Shakespeare"s plays were performed only by the Lord Chamberlain"s Men .The Lord Chamberlain was a very important man, close to the Queen, and Shakespeare put on plays for the Queen’s court and in the houses of the great lords of England. Among the actors, Shakespeare was special-because he wrote plays. He was always trying something new, something different. And he wrote fast, too.
In 1596, His writing changed after Hamnet’s death. Shakespeare still laughed at people in his plays, but he also felt sorry for them- sorry for all the world, good and bad, rich and poor, young and old. And his people were real. No one was all good, or all bad.
These are all about Shakespeare’s early life and now I want to introduce Shakespeare’s lasting influence on
theatre and literature.
Firstly , he expanded the dramatic potential of characterization, plot, language, and genre. Until Romeo and Juliet , for example, romance had not been viewed as a worthy topic for tragedy. Soliloquies had been used mainly to convey information about characters or events; but Shakespeare used them to explore characters" minds. Secondly , his works heavily influenced later poetry . The Romantic poets attempted to revive Shakespearean verse drama, though with little success. Last but not least , his use of language helped shape modern English. He introduced almost 3,000 words to the English language and used over 7,000 words only once in his plays.
Here are some of his sayings in his well-known works.
英语演讲稿4
Good morning everyone!
My name is Jie Lidi. Today, my topic is: “Confidence”.
As we all know,failure is the mother of success. But What I want to say is that success is thechild of confidence. Without confidence, things can become negative anduncomfortable. I remember, during an English class, I wanted to make a sentenceusing the word "listen". I should have said: "I listen to the Voice of America"but I was too nervous and said "I listen to the Noise of America". Everybody inthe class laughed. Since then I wanted to train myself to be confident. Now,confidence makes me brave and courageous. Take this speech for example. I wantedto enter this competition, but I would feel very embarrassed if I made mistakes.Just then, I thought about my dream. My dream is to become a scientist when Igrow up. If I am not confident, how can I overcome difficulties I face? If I amnot confident, how can I succeed in developing myself in the future? I will doit! Today, I am making a speech in public and I feel proud and confident!
I am sure, in the future, with confidence, I will go forward-alwaysforward. Confidence will make my dreams come true!
Thank you!
英语演讲稿5
Confidence,which is not only the faith in your abilities, but also the faith of pursuit of firm target in yourself, is the first secret of success. With it, you can go toward the shore of victory. When at a low ebb of the Chinese revolution, xxx believed that "a single spark can start a prairie fire". ChenYi believed "repeated action can not take off" he was confident. In short, self-confidence refers to the navigation towards victory, as is the driving force of progress.
Inferior tends to look at the advantages of others too much, overweight, and this is a lack of understanding of their strengths. Someone who has so heavy psychological pressure makes himself passive. Inferior psychological barrier limits the development of ability, making them lose the chance of success, ultimately nothing. Humble and out of the shadow, there must be sunny days ahead! In both the "thousand goddess of mercy" dancing miracle of the spotlight, the actors are in the faith and destiny of the strong, overcoming the inferiority, their performance won the audience's warm applause, deeply loved by people.
Overcoming self-abased and developing confidence is our inevitable choice.
Conceit and inferiority are extreme psychological. Swellheads smug after some achievements, even defiant, arrogance. These people even had made some achievements, but it was just a flash in the pan. Xiang yu in the struggle played a great role，but temporary military advantage made him blind. The results had been defeated by Liu Bang, the former hero. At last Xiang Yu committed suicide by Wujiang river .
We want to believe in ourselves, but not conceited. I do not give up. Choose confidence, overcome being self-abased, and being away from the ego, which is the requirement of the new century, and is the pursuit of perfect personality. "Talk about heroes, you can find someone today", xxx was full of self-confidence, who will always inspire us to move forward.
英语演讲稿6
演讲从一个故事开始：
a stormy nightin hong kong.
香港一个风雨交加的夜晚。
a young man who asked his girlfriend out on adate canceled the date and stayed at home because of the bad weather. meanwhile, in the same apartment building, a pregnant lady who was lying in bed already, suddenly decided to drive out to grab some food. as she was driving back in the heavy rain, the lightning struck her building. and she saw the whole building collapsing in front of her in the storm.
公寓中的一名男孩，本已约了女友外出，出门时因风雨太大，就临时取消了约会而逗留家中。
而公寓中另一位有孕在身、本已卧床休息的少妇，因想吃点东西而独自驾车外出。
当她冒着风雨驾车返回时，发现整栋公寓竟然在风雨中倒塌了……
all the residents of that building, including the young man, lost their lives in that accident. yet the pregnant lady survived.
包括那名男孩在内的公寓中其他居民都丧身在倒塌的公寓与山泥之中，而孕妇却幸免于难。
this is a story of fate by author, kuang ni from hong kong. dead oralive, all depended on that one thought. is this a made-up story, or a true reflection of our lives?
这是香港作家倪匡笔下一个耐人寻味的命运故事。
一念之间，生死两重天。
这到底只是作家的艺术创作，还是生活的真实写照?
you have probably also experienced how one decision potentially leads to adramatic and different result. so is it accidental, or inevitable? does destiny exist? if so, how is it formed? can it be changed? how do we change it?
你可能也经历过这种事情，因为一个决定而产生了截然不同的结果。
那么，这是偶然还是必然?命运真的存在吗?如果存在，它又是怎样形成的?可以被改变吗?如何才能改变?
my dad published a book titled enlightenment in XX. it’s a book about buddhism and its wisdom that may help you in life. i say “a life-changing book” here because first of all, it is what the chinese characters on the cover mean; secondly it is my own father’s book and of course i want to sell it; but thirdly, it indeed is “alife-changing book.”
我父亲于XX年出版了《觉悟》一书。
这是一本关于用佛教智慧改变我们生命的书。
我说“this is a life-changing book(一本足以改写你生命的书)”，因为首先，这本书的封面上的确写着这些中文字;其次，这是我父亲的书，我当然想推销它;(笑声)第三，这的确是一本足以改写你生命的书。
ever since he published book, he has wanted me to translate his book when i grow more proficient in english. i doubt that i have the ability to translate his book yet, but i’d like to take this opportunity to share some bits and parts of his insights on buddhism; especially those on zen buddhism that have helped me in my life. this speech will partially be a rough translation of the first chapter of his book, as he wishes, and partially my personal experience with zen.
自从他出版这本书以后，我父亲就希望我能帮他翻译成英语。
当然，我不觉得我现在的英语水平够去翻译这整本书，但是我希望借这个机会，能分享一些他对佛法的见解，尤其是在我成长的过程中对我有很大帮助的禅学。
这次演讲的一部分内容会是《觉悟》一书部分章节的简单翻译(算是如我父亲所愿)，还有一部分是我自己的修心、修行经历。
since the day we’re born, we’ve stepped into a huge maze with only one exit. the exit leads to the tranquil middle path that buddhism is looking for. and only by finding the right road can we exit the maze that is full of suffering. different thing shappen to different people in our lives, but you should know that every hardship or impasse you face comes from the seeds of your past ignorance and presumptuous acts. there’s nothing we could do with things that already happened, but that doesn’t mean we have to stop searching for the way out. in fact, according to buddhist teaching, if we wake up from the ignorance, we can definitely leave the maze.
从出生之日起，我们就像步入了一个只有唯一出口的巨大迷宫。
佛教正是要帮助你找到这个给你带来解脱的唯一出口。
唯有找到这个出口，我们才能从满是痛苦的迷宫中走出来。
每个人在生命中都经历着不同的事情。
但不管在你的生命中发生了什么，要知道，现在你所遇到的每一个障碍或绝境，都来自过去的无知和妄行埋下的种子。
已经发生的结果，我们无力改变，但并不意味着我们必须停下探索的脚步。
事实上，佛教认为，只要我们从无知中醒来，就一定能走出迷宫。
there is a kind of dandelion in canada that cangrow out of the ground again even if it’s been pulled out by its roots. some specialists latter found out that this kind of dandelion has roots that are eight meters down into the earth, and at the end of the roots, there’s a seed. even if the roots are taken out, the dandelion can grow out again because of its seed.
加拿大有一种生命力特别旺盛的蒲公英，即便你将它连根拔起，不久它还会从地下长出新的来。
后来，经过专家的深入研究发现，它的根须特别长，竟然顽强地扎入地下八米的深处，并且须根的尽头有一粒种子，就算须根断了，蒲公英也照样会因这粒种子而再次破土重生。
deep down in our hearts, there’s aseed as well. without us noticing, the seed has been developing roots, blooming flowers, and even bearing bitter fruits. although we hate these bitter fruits, we have no idea where they come from. so after trying and failing every time,the fruits remain. they remain because we have only tried to solve the problems on the surface, like taking out the roots of the dandelion but not the seed.
在我们内心深处，也深埋着一颗种子。
不知不觉间，这颗潜伏着的种子在不断地发芽开花，并结满了各式各样苦涩的'果子。
虽然我们讨厌那些苦涩的果子，但由于并不知道它们究竟来自何方，所以就算用尽了各种方法，却总是失望地发现无法根除它。
因为，我们总是治标而不治本。
就像人们只是铲除地上的蒲公英，或者虽然拔出了蒲公英的根须，却将那颗种子留在了地下一样。
the seed that is deep down in our hearts is called “ego,” – the source of all ofour troubles and pain. our hearts should be spacious and open, capable of taking in anything. we are the universe, and the universe is us. we are allone. but when the “ego” starts to develop, we start to separate ourselves from the whole.
深埋于我们内心深处的那颗种子叫“自我”，它是我们人生一切烦恼和痛苦的源头。
我们的心，本来应该像虚空一样，可以容纳一切。
一切和我们没有对立，一切就是我们，我们就是一切。
我们和整体没有分割。
当我们有了自我，我们就开始分割和比较，“我”从整体中独立了出来。
then based on our preferences and experience, our hearts start to have limited capacity. our hearts are no longer big enough to accommodate everything.the more specific preferences we develop, the smaller our hearts become. after a certain time, we start to hang on to the ego and develop different feelings because of it. we experience love and happiness, but also pain and suffering.the ego is a doubled-edged-sword. is there a way to use it only for good without any bad effects?
接着，因着我们的喜好、经验，心的大小容量就显露出来了，我们的心不再可以容纳一切了。
随着我们分割的东西越来越多，心的容量也就随之变得越来越小。
自我变成了一道过滤外界事物的屏障，将我们和整体分割了开来。
接着，我们就慢慢执著于这个自我，经过一定阶段的熏习和积累，因“我”而产生了爱和幸福，但也带来了相应的痛苦和烦恼。
它是一把双刃剑。
那么有没有办法把这把双刃剑用好，只使其发挥有益的作用而不产生负面作用呢?
the ultimate goal is to get rid of the separation between us and thewhole. and to do that, buddhism divides the cultivation of this life style into three steps: discipline, meditation, and wisdom. our hearts are like candles, swaying in the breeze of desire. discipline is like adding a glass jar around the candle, separating the breeze so it no longer affects the candle light. meditation is the process the flame takes to stop swaying. and wisdom is the growing light as the flame comes to stillness.
佛教的最终目的是助你回本归真。
为此，佛教将修行分为“戒、定、慧”三个步骤。
若把我们的心比喻成蜡烛，那么蜡烛会在风中摇曳(各种利益诱惑或逆境打击)，很容易熄灭，如果给蜡烛加上个玻璃罩(就是“戒”)，它就慢慢从摇曳中静下来(就是“定”)。
于是烛光会越来越明亮(就是“慧”)。
i’ve been going to boarding schools since i was seven. once after a stressful week, i went home with a grumpy look. noticing my anxiousness, my dad asked me to take a walk with him. along the narrow path were numerous streetlights; some were luminous and some were dusky. he pointed at one tha twas covered in dust and asked me, “remember your happiest moments? right now your brightness is covered by the dust of doubts and fears just like this streetlight. but the light is in you, you just need clear the dust off.” i realized that any situation is controllable with the right attitude.
七岁起，我就读住宿学校。
有次周末回家时我满心烦恼。
父亲注意到后要我和他出去散散步。
那是一条满是路灯的小道，有的明亮而有的昏暗。
父亲指着一盏满是灰尘的路灯问我：“记得你最开心的时候吗?现在你内心的光亮被忧虑和恐惧的灰尘遮盖住了，就像这盏灯一样。
但是光就在你心中，你只需清除你心灯上的尘埃。
”我意识到，只要保持正确的心态，我能战胜任何困难。
that led to my emotional flow chart. the x-axisindicates the date of the week. the y-axis has a scale of 1-5, one meaning extreme negative emotion and five meaning extreme positive emotion.
此后父亲为我设计了一张情绪记录表。
x轴为日期，在y轴上标上1-5分的分值(1分表示极其低落的情绪，5分表示非常兴奋的情绪)。
(上图为倪闻萱小时候的心情日记截图)
in the beginning, the lines are shaky like astock market graph. i noticed that i might have a day of 1 right after a day of5. but as i pay more attention to my feelings, the lines start to get flatter,and tend to settle at 3 and 4. i’m not saying that i’m totally incontrol of my emotion now, but this chart has definitely helped me to be more aware of myself, and thus remain more logical when facing any situation.
起初，这张表就像动荡的股票市场图。
有时我会前一天是5分，第二天却仅得到1分。
但当我开始观照起自己的情绪时，它就变得慢慢平稳下来，经常徘徊在3和4之间。
我并不是说现在我能完全控制自己的情绪了，但是这张表对我的情绪控制起了很大的作用，面对问题时也变得更加理性。
an easier way to make yourself more aware of your emotional flow without this chart, is talking to yourself. when you’re lying in bed ready to go to sleep, instead of grabbing your phone, consider taking that half an hour, or even just five minutes, to have a conversation with yourself. ask yourself, “how are you?” and let your subconscious talk to you.
还有一个更简单的，不用填写任何表格的方法——和自己对话。
当你晚上躺在床上准备入睡前，试试放下手机，用那半小时，甚至仅仅五分钟，和自己对话。
问问自己，“你感觉怎么样?”让你的潜意识和你说说话。
let’s try this. please close your eyes, and go through everything that happened to you yesterday. how was your day? where would you mark your day on a scale of 1-5? obviously the fluctuations of a day’s emotion will be like a heart beat. but try to average out thehighs and lows and mark your dot. did something or someone make you really happy? did you make someone else’s day better? was there a time when you could have been more kind? or was there a time you lost control? and what caused your emotional flows? what do you want your day to be like today? i hope this mini meditation helps you recollect yourself on the anxious last day of school before break.
让我们现在就试试。
请闭上你的眼睛，想想昨天一天发生的所有事情。
你昨天一天怎么样?(大家闭上了眼睛，在回忆)1-5分，你会给自己打几分?当然，你的一天不可能保持同样情绪。
尝试把开心与不开心的时候平均一下，你会给自己打几分?(停顿了几秒)是什么事或什么人让你开心了?(停顿了几秒)有没有因为你的缘故让别人过得更好?(停顿了几秒)有没有某个瞬间，你的情绪失控了?(停顿了几秒)是什么造成了你的情绪波动?(停顿了几秒)你希望今天一天怎样度过?(停顿了几秒)我希望这个短短的自我对话，能帮助你在春假前的最后一天沉静下来。
now i’ll leave you with a formula–
1 *(past) + 2* (now) = variable (future)
you could not change your past circumstances, but by adjusting your present mindset, you have the capacity to dramatically alter your future.
最后我想给你们一个公式——
1*(过去)+ 2*(现在)= 未知(未来)
你无法改变过去已经发生的事，但如果你能调整好你当下的状态，你就能收获一个意想不到的未来。

Good afternoon, class.
Many students like getting online very much. they think on the internet they can get some information, play some educational games and these games help them learn a lot. they can also make friends online.
But there is also something bad getting online. It takes students too much time, so they do worse in their lessons. Spending too much time online is also bad for their health. I don't think they should spend too much time getting online. I think they should put their hearts into their studies.

My campus life Hello everyone。 Today I'm glad to be here to give a speech about my fresh experience in China Agriculture University。 First I must say the campus life is really different from what I have experienced in high instance， I used to lean upon my dormitory teacher to wake me up on time。 But now I have to set several alarm clocks to make myself could hear them in the morning otherwise I would miss my class。 And then even worse there would be nobody remind me except my teacher！ So the differences are everywhere and I could easily find them。 The change of life is great and its wonderful： I have more time of my own and the rights to decide how I live。 My campus activities are rich and ning English has become a habit to me cause I plan to study abroad in next few years。 Playing Guzheng is my favorite activity。 I have kept on practising it since I was a little girl and I wish to win more competitions in my campus life。 Our university has the first level equipments and the most experienced teachers， also has the best students（laugh）。 I consider it to be a honor that Ive got a chance to study here and I sincerely hope that we could live wonderful lives in our campus！

dare to compete. dare to care. dare to dream. dare to love. practice the art of making possible. and no matter what happens, even if you hear shouts behind, keep going.
it is such an honor and pleasure for me to be back at yale, especially on the occasion of the 300th anniversary. i have had so many memories of my time here, and as nick was speaking i thought about how i ended up at yale law school. and it tells a little bit about how much progress wesquo;ve made.
what i think most about when i think of yale is not just the politically charged atmosphere and not even just the superb legal education that i received. it was at yale that i began work that has been at the core of what i have cared about ever since. i began working with new haven legal services representing children. and i studied child development, abuse and neglect at the yale new haven hospital and the child study center. i was lucky enough to receive a civil rights internship with marian wright edelman at the childrensquo;s defense fund, where i went to work after i graduated. those experiences fueled in me a passion to work for the benefit of children, particularly the most vulnerable.
now, looking back, there is no way that i could have predicted what path my life would have taken. i didnsquo;t sit around the law school, saying, well, you know, i think isquo;ll graduate and then isquo;ll go to work at the childrensquo;s defense fund, and then the impeachment inquiry, and nixon retired or resigns, isquo;ll go to arkansas. i didnsquo;t think like that. i was taking each day at a time.
but, isquo;ve been very fortunate because isquo;ve always had an idea in my mind about what i thought was important and what gave my life meaning and purpose. a set of values and beliefs that have helped me navigate the shoals, the sometimes very treacherous sea, to illuminate my own true desires, despite that others say about what l should care about and believe in. a passion to succeed at what l thought was important and children have always provided that lone star, that guiding light. because l have that absolute conviction that every child, especially in this, the most blessed of nations that has ever existed on the face of earth, that every child deserves the opportunity to live up to his or her god-given potential.
but you know that belief and conviction-it may make for a personal mission statement, but standing alone, not translated into action, it means very little to anyone else, particularly to those for whom you have those concerns.
when i was thinking about running for the united states senate-which was such an enormous decision to make, one i never could have dreamed that i would have been making when i was here on campus-i visited a school in new york city and i met a young woman, who was a star athlete.
i was there because of billy jean king promoting an hbo special about women in sports called dare to compete. it was about title ix and how we finally, thanks to government action, provided opportunities to girls and women in sports.
and although i played not very well at intramural sports, i have always been a strong supporter of women in sports. and i was introduced by this young woman, and as i went to shake her hand she obviously had been reading the newspapers about people saying i should or shouldnsquo;t run for the senate. and i was congratulating her on the speech she had just made and she held onto my hand and she said, dare to compete, mrs. clinton. dare to compete.
i took that to heart because it is hard to compete sometimes, especially in public ways, when your failures are there for everyone to see and you donsquo;t know what is going to happen from one day to the next. and yet so much of life, whether we like to accept it or not, is competing with ourselves to be the best we can be, being involved in classes or professions or just life, where we know we are competing with others.
i took her advice and i did compete because i chose to do so. and the biggest choices that yousquo;ll face in your life will be yours alone to make. isquo;m sure yousquo;ll receive good advice. yousquo;re got a great education to go back and reflect about what is right for you, but you eventually will have to choose and i hope that you will dare to compete. and by that i donsquo;t mean the kind of cutthroat competition that is too often characterized by what is driving america today. i mean the small voice inside you that says to you, you can do it, you can take this risk, you can take this next step.
and it doesnsquo;t mean that once having made that choice you will always succeed. in fact, you wonsquo;t. there are setbacks and you will experience difficult disappointments. you will be slowed down and sometimes the breath will just be knocked out of you. but if you carry with you the values and beliefs that you can make a difference in your own life, first and foremost, and then in the lives of others. you can get back up, you can keep going.
but it is also important, as i have found, not to take yourself too seriously, because after all, every one of us here today, none of us is deserving of full credit. i think every day of the blessings my birth gave me without any doing of my own. i chose neither my family nor my country, but they as much as anything isquo;ve ever done, determined my course.
you compare my or your circumstances with those of the majority of people whosquo;ve ever lived or who are living right now, they too often are born knowing too well what their futures will be. they lack the freedom to choose their lifesquo;s path. theysquo;re imprisoned by circumstances of poverty and ignorance, bigotry, disease, hunger, oppression and war.
so, dare to compete, yes, but maybe even more difficult, dare to care. dare to care about people who need our help to succeed and fulfill their own lives. there are so many out there and sometimes all it takes is the simplest of gestures or helping hands and many of you understand that already. i know that the numbers of graduates in the last 20 years have worked in community organizations, have tutored, have committed themselves to religious activities.
you have been there trying to serve because you have believed both that it was the right thing to do and because it gave something back to you. you have dared to care.
well, dare to care to fight for equal justice for all, for equal pay for women, against hate crimes and bigotry. dare to care about public schools without qualified teachers or adequate resources. dare to care about protecting our environment. dare to care about the 10 million children in our country who lack health insurance. dare to care about the one and a half million children who have a parent in jail. the seven million people who suffer from hiv/aids. and thank you for caring enough to demand that our nation do more to help those that are suffering throughout this world with hiv/aids, to prevent this pandemic from spreading even further.
and isquo;ll also add, dare enough to care about our political process. you know, as i go and speak with students isquo;m impressed so much, not only in formal settings, on campuses, but with my daughter and her friends, about how much you care, about how willing you are to volunteer and serve. you may have missed the last wave of the revolution, but yousquo;ve understood that the dot.community revolution is there for you every single day. and yousquo;ve been willing to be part of remarking lives in our community.
and yet, there is a real resistance, a turning away from the political process. i hope that some of you will be public servants and will even run for office yourself, not to win a position to make and impression on your friends at your 20th reunion, but because you understand how important it is for each of us as citizens to make a commitment to our democracy.
your generation, the first one born after the social upheavals of the 60squo;s and 70squo;s, in the midst of the technological advances of the 80squo;s and 90squo;s, are inheriting an economy, a society and a government that has yet to understand fully, or even come to grips with, our rapidly changing world.
and so bring your values and experiences and insights into politics. dare to help make, not just a difference in politics, but create a different politics. some have called you the generation of choice. yousquo;ve been raised with multiple choice tests, multiple channels, multiple websites and multiple lifestyles. yousquo;ve grown up choosing among alternatives that were either not imagined, created or available to people in prior generations.
yousquo;ve been invested with far more personal power to customize your life, to make more free choices about how to live than was ever thought possible. and i think as i look at all the surveys and research that is done, your choices reflect not only freedom, but personal responsibility.
the social indicators, not the headlines, the social indicators tell a positive story: drug use and cheating and arrests being down, been pregnancy and suicides, drunk driving deaths being down. community service and religious involvement being up. but if you look at the area of voting among 18 to 29 year olds, the numbers tell a far more troubling tale. many of you i know believe that service and community volunteerism is a better way of solving the issues facing our country than political engagement, because you believe-choose one of the following multiples or choose them all-government either cansquo;t understand or wonsquo;t make the right choices because of political pressures, inefficiency, incompetence or big money influence.
well, i admit there is enough truth in that critique to justify feeling disconnected and alienated. but at bottom, thatsquo;s a personal cop-out and a national peril. political conditions maximize the conditions for individual opportunity and responsibility as well as community. americorps and the peace corps exist because of political decisions. our air, water, land and food will be clean and safe because of political choices. our ability to cure disease or log onto the internet have been advanced because of politically determined investments. ethnic cleansing in kosovo ended because of political leadership. your parents and grandparents traveled here by means of government built and subsidized transportation systems. many used gi bills or government loans, as i did, to attend college.
now, i could, as you might guess, go on and on, but the point is to remind us all that government is us and each generation has to stake its claim. and, as stakeholders, you will have to decide whether or not to make the choice to participate. it is hard and it is, bringing change in a democracy, particularly now. theresquo;s so much about our modern times that conspire to lower our sights, to weaken our vision-as individuals and communities and even nations.
it is not the vast conspiracy you may have heard about; rather itsquo;s a silent conspiracy of cynicism and indifference and alienation that we see every day, in our popular culture and in our prodigious consumerism.
but as many have said before and as vaclav havel has said to memorably, it cannot suffice just to invent new machines, new regulations and new institutions. it is necessary to understand differently and more perfectly the true purpose of our existence on this earth and of our deeds. and i think we are called on to reject, in this time of blessings that we enjoy, those who will tear us apart and tear us down and instead to liberate our god-given spirit, by being willing to dare to dream of a better world.
during my campaign, when times were tough and days were long i used to think about the example of harriet tubman, a heroic new yorker, a 19th century moses, who risked her life to bring hundreds of slaves to freedom. she would say to those who she gathered up in the south where she kept going back year after year from the safety of auburn, new york, that no matter what happens, they had to keep going. if they heard shouts behind them, they had to keep going. if they heard gunfire or dogs, they had to keep going to freedom. well, those arensquo;t the risks we face. it is more the silence and apathy and indifference that dogs our heels.
thirty-two years ago, i spoke at my own graduation from wellesley, where i did call on my fellow classmates to reject the notion of limitations on our ability to effect change and instead to embrace the idea that the goal of education should be human liberation and the freedom to practice with all the skill of our being the art of making possible.
for after all, our fate is to be free. to choose competition over apathy, caring over indifference, vision over myopia, and love over hate.
just as this is a special time in your lives, it is for me as well because my daughter will be graduating in four weeks, graduating also from a wonderful place with a great education and beginning a new life. and as i think about all the parents and grandparents who are out there, i have a sense of what their feeling. their hearts are leaping with joy, but itsquo;s hard to keep tears in check because the presence of our children at a time and place such as this is really a fulfillment of our own american dreams. well, i applaud you and all of your love, commitment and hard work, just as i applaud your daughters and sons for theirs.
and i leave these graduates with the same message i hope to leave with my graduate. dare to compete. dare to care. dare to dream. dare to love. practice the art of making possible. and no matter what happens, even if you hear shouts behind, keep going.
thank you and god bless you all.

Stepping into the new century environment pollution has become more serious than ever since. There are different kinds of pollution. Such as water pollution air pollution and noise pollution and so on. It seems that we live on a planet which is full of pollution. where all these pollution comes from?
To a large extend the environmental destruction is the heavy price that we pay for the rapid development of economy and the growing population. In order to have more fuel people cut down trees and dig more corals. But the growing needs for energy are hardly to meet. Countless private cars on the street the gas stations are short of gasoline even the government has raise the price so many times in order to control the needs of gasoline but it’s still not working.
Overusing the natural resources has already affected the ecological balance. However the factories still release the toxic air into the sky and the polluted water into the rivers. People still lack of the conscious of protecting the environment. I think it’s time for all of us to do something.
The government should put forward some more strict laws to prevent the environment from being further polluted. And they should let people know more about the importance of environment protection.
And we should find the balance between the economic growth and environmental protection. Plant more trees in the deserts and stop cutting down the forest. Forbid the factories to pour the waste water into the rivers directly. Encourage people to use public transportations to work. Both government and ordinary people should join hands together to make our home clean and fresh again. Only in this way our earth could be a better place to live in.

Ladies and gentlemen,
I have had a lot of teachers in my school who have given me much help in my study. For their help I will never forget them. But today I am going to talk about a special teacher of mine.
This teacher is not a human being and its name is“Computer”. It has been teaching me a lot of knowledge and I appreciate it very much.
With the development of modern science and technology, computers are widely used in every teritories [every field] including education. How can a computer be my teacher? How does a computer teach me? Multimedia(多媒体)helps a lot in this aspect in recent years, and computer-based training (CBT) has become a popular educational medium (手段).
Even before the multimedia come [came] up, many different learning systems appeared, using the components and techniques we now associate with the term “multimedia”.
Multimedia components, such as graphics (动画) , animations , sound and video, make the learning process easier through visualization. Animations can present many complex subjects dynamically, but human teachers can not do this on blackboards. Multimedia makes our study more lively and interesting.
For example, a CD-ROM disk named “Encarta Encyclopedia” contains 650 MB information including images, graphics, music clips, video clips, animations , texts, hotwords, and database search functions. Fields involved includes physical sciences, performance arts, social sciences, politics, military, education and so on. When pressing a button, I can hear American President Clinton's speech clip.
I may enjoy playing all kinds of musical instruments in the world. I can also see the animation of many physical phenomena. This makes physical concept to be understood deeply [ concepts understood better]. The audio features of multimedia can greatly help me learning [learn] foreign languages. With its speech output capabilities, I'm no longer dependent on an instructor for proper pronunciation.
How can I interact with a computer? There are many ways, including keyboard, mouse pointer, and touch screen. I often use a keyboard.
When I press right keys, I can see and hear whatever I want. Information world is at my fingertip. I wish that true speech input-output system would be invented one day.
As teachers, computers have a lot of virtues：They are positive, they have good memories and never lose any information stored in them.
They have much knowledge in every field. They can let out all kinds of sounds, and can also improve the efficiency of our study. For example, if I want to, I can skip some chapters so that I can study at my own pace.
Although computers will never take the place of human teachers, they are welcomed by more and more learners. Computers will continue to evolve(发展)with the aid of modern technologies.
Computers are so powerful, helpful and important that everybody needs it, especially in the future! I love my computer teacher!
Thank you.

Have a heart of gratitude, more respect. Respect for life, respect for labor, respect creation. Hearts with gratitude, a generation of great men - all - deng ping said in three score and ten "I am the son of the Chinese people, I deeply love my country and my people!" With a grateful heart, the poet ai qing wrote in his poem: "why my eyes full of tears, because I have deep love to this land." Heard of the story of a man apologized to the tree? Heard of all the running car to make way for the dog's story? The true story, touched by a love of life, moved by people respect for life. When we enjoy a clean environment every day, we would like to thank those cleaning workers; When we move to a new house, we would like to thank those construction workers; When we travel, would like to thank the driver... Understand thank you, you will be looked upon with equal every life, to treat everyone around us, an ordinary ordinary labor, respect each also respect yourself more.
Have a heart of gratitude, more can realize his duty. In modern society, everyone has their own duties, their value. When one of China's top ten xx touched xu benyu screen, goodness of human nature was lit again, this was originally the college students into graduate school, but they threw into the mountains from the bustling city. This extraordinary feat hurt everyone's eyes, each person heart is also lit up a oldering fire. And let him to make a choice of the reason is simple: with a grateful heart. xu benyu with his gratitude for the mountains children paved the road to a love, lit the poverty and hope, completed his duty, realize the value of his life.
With a grateful heart, is not a simple endurance and tolerance, more not q, but with a generous mind brave face life positively. I believe, the most warm day from the cold, I believe, the most warm is an understanding of the cold, moved in a kind of gratitude. One must learn to Thanksgiving, to life with a grateful heart, heart to real happiness. A person without gratitude, heart is all empty. "YangYouGuiRuZhiEn", "crow has feedback of grace", "send person rose, the hand have lingering fragrance", "give me your hand, and son xielao," these are due to have a grateful heart, sweet, freely available.
So I want to thank you, my life of passers-by, let me know how light fades to don't tie to the mind, thank you, come and go, I will cherish; Thank you, all the teachers in my life, let me know how precious knowledge, thank you, following years, I will remember; Thank you, my life close to close friend, share happy with you, sad have to listen to you, thank you, busy, I won't forget; Thank you, I to really beloved relatives, in the course of time, quietly watch over me, shelter from the rain, let me in happiness to be loved also learned how to love others, thank you, day and night, I have in my heart.
Thank day litres of sunset, thank happy pain, thanks to the earth, the sky thank heaven all the stars, thanks to life, thanks to get and lose everything, and nothing had lost everything, let me in the season of the grass sprout out of the earth came up the beauty of life!

Good morning,ladies and gentlemen,today i am so happy to stand here to give you a speech.Or rather, a real story of mine.
Though with time going by,i can still remember what you once told me.You should be a brave girl.Smiling,you looked into my eyes.Year in,year out,nearly most of my memories are fading little by little.But only this simple sentence remained,without being forgotten in my life. Again and again,i can not stop myself from thinking about it.So ordinary,but so impressive,so moving,just like the brightest sunshine,it helps me go through the darkest night.I am such a sensitive girl in your heart.You said,my sorroful facial expression made feel so
distersssed.However,there is one thing i never tell you,that is ,i am becoming a big girl gradually with your words and smiles.I never tell you about it,for i believe oneday,you can see the great changes of mine for yourself.That is what i want to do in return.As i know,that will be the best gift for you.
I suddenly think of a song named MY HEART WILL GO ON.There is a beautiful sentence going like this.You are safe in my heart.More than once,i was moved to tears by it.I know ,i am also safe in your heart.i have already forgotten when i told you i was going to leave for Australia this summer holiday.You just smiled as usual,gently speaking.Whatever you decide to do,i will be in favor of it,but, just onething,remember,when you fell lonely abroad,do not forget we are here ,praying for you.We are all around you,far across the distance and space between us.i closed my eyes,the flashback started.The memories we had together,once we played games on the palyground,we played jokes on each other,you always wrote a lot of sentences on my articles to encourage me.And the most unforgetable thing,you told me,you believed m i could be a big girl.Sooner or later. At that specific moment,i suddenly understood the meaning of this sentence totally.So on that day,i smiled as you used to,looking at you.The last words i said were,
keep walking in sunshine.
Yes,keep walking in sunshine.I said to you ,also to myself.I know i am not alone wiht your company,and we can keep walking in sunshine till the last minute of our days.
I promise,i will be a big girl.
I promise,i will be a brave girl.
I promise,i will keep walking in sunshine. That is my speech,thank you!

I"ll tell you an experience of myself happened last week. last thursday our school was tackling something about woking fou study. i wanted to have a try even though i knew the salary was so low and i had little chance,because the students who had the certificate were always thought to have priority to get the job. fortunately i was called at noon and a teacher said to me that she wanted me to work for her and asked if i could change my mind.
At that moment i was so excited that immediately i accepted her idea. but later on,she found me that i"m not a student,so i had little chance and suggest me to get one. then an idea occurred to me that i could call my father and ask him to send me the letter. at the same time i was told that i was admitted to the job and don"t need the certificate. that time i forgot to remind my father,until the next day he called me that he had posted it and it would arrive in just one day.
At that moment i was moved, and even moved into tears, because i knew my father was injured not long before,the process of helping me with the affairs was not so convenient for him. but he tried his best to help me. sometimes we may complain about unsatisfying things around us,and blame them on our parents,sometimes they"ll be angry with us, and sometimes we can"t quite understand what they are thinking about. but on balance, almost every parent is selfless to his or her child.
They are ready to offer everything to us when we are in bad situation. we used to sharing sorrow with them,but do not forget to share our happiness with them, perhaps they will be much happier than we are. so from now on, let"s care more about our parents and do not leave pity to them. that"s what i want to tell you today. thank you!
