A Fox once saw a Crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and settleon a branch of a tree. ‘That’s for me, as I am a Fox,’ said Master Reynard, andhe walked up to the foot of the tree. ‘Good-day, Mistress Crow,’ he cried. ‘Howwell you are looking to-day: how glossy your feathers; how bright your eye. Ifeel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does;let me hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds.’The Crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she openedher mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up byMaster Fox. ‘That will do,’ said he. ‘That was all I wanted. In exchange foryour cheese I will give you a piece of advice for the future .’Do not trustflatterers.
A Chief Executive officer is not necessarily someone who has had a lot offormal , 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 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 ng “guanxi” is a necessary characteristic of anysuccessful CEO.
Mark Twin once said:"in nineteenth Century two people,one is Napoleon,one is Helen Keller." I read a book about Helen -- "if give me three days light" recently,after reading this book,my heart is the spirit of Helen deeply shocked!
In the book,Helen said:"the knowledge to give love,give a person with bright,give a person with wisdom,it should be said that knowledge is happiness,because with the knowledge,is to touch a history of human activity since the pulse,or do not understand human life music!".Indeed,the power of knowledge is infinite,it is knowledge that Helen created these miracles!
Helen is unfortunate,but she is lucky,it is because of knowledge,she was so lucky.Lost sight and hearing in her 19 months later,and the world lost communication,lost contact,the life of the young do not know how to row retire loneliness,her eccentric,rude,rude,until her Sullivan teacher walked into her life,to teach her how to read,before she opened their hearts the eyes,and to communicate with people.A contact to knowledge,lonely Helen realized that only knowledge can pave a road leading to the light.When Helen aware of "water" -- that she knew the first word,will start on the knowledge,strong desire for the world,began to read,unable to hold oneself back reading,like a sponge to absorb knowledge from life itself.The thirst for knowledge,so that she was unimaginable monotonous and boring actually learned German,Latin,French and other languages,reading a lot of literature and philosophy,absorb those great and wise thought essence.She's studying than climb mountains,fell again to climb up,each get a little progress,there is an encouraging,gradually see the wider world,until the bright clouds,the deep blue sky,the pinnacle of hope!These knowledge,like a rainbow,hearts Helen lit a lamp,illuminate her inner world,but also set up a Helen and a bridge in the world!
In the book,Helen with delicate strokes,the natural scenery description,make it difficult to believe that from a deaf blind pen; she go horseback riding,boating,swimming,the sled,even alone on moonlight nights,try to comprehend the beauty of the lotus pond; she is going to visit the museum,"listening to the concert," even to "enjoy" the Opera.I believe she is the heart to feel the world,heart to enjoy life.She is much smaller than those of us normal people live happy,live,live a meaningful life!Is knowledge gave her the courage to live,is the knowledge gave her to accept the challenges of life force,so that she could take the amazing perseverance in the face of difficulties,finally found life light in the darkness.The knowledge produced a belief that she:the realistic environment is terrible,but humans should hope,struggle.What is the meaning of life,what is the value of life?Human life is short,we have never thought or did not dare to imagine the future world,daily life lazily,lazily,difficult to blame everyone and everything but not oneself,complain that the God is not fair.On this day in and day out,year after year,time flies like water,the past days no longer,when we look back,whether it is worth recalling?Whether it is worth remembering?If,every one of us,believe me with the knowledge to light our hearts,lamp,the world will be a light!
Helen,with her hard but happy life,the interpretation of the meaning of life.Her life is the miracle of mankind,her autobiography,to my shame,I keep watch.
In this world,why only the deaf appreciate hearing found again?Only the blind will treasure to be delivered from oppression of happiness?Let us treasure every day in life,to enrich life,to enjoy life!Helen said:"I try to get knowledge for the purpose of human society contribute a little strength."
Knowledge of how the power,it can make a disabled person,become a beneficial to mankind,for the benefit of society.If,every one of us,can be like Helen.Keller,in the rest of one's life the thirst for knowledge,as the pursuit of life,every day hold this pursuit,with friendly,energetic,eager to life,our life will add a little joy,how happy ah!
Helen's life,is life in darkness brought light to mankind's life,she proves that human conquer life courage in action,to leave the world a never forgotten songs of life!

My name is , from . I scored unsatisfactory and did their desired universities. I think, either in the country on a first-clacolleges, or to go abroad. If on a domestic university, it is a waste of time. So I chose to study abroad.
So I understand that New Zealand students through the Internet has more advantages. First of all, New Zealand is a multicultural country, a time-advanced level. Second, the students lower costs than other countries, more reasonable. Third, the weather and almost southern China. Therefore, I propose to the parents to New Zealand to study the wishes of the parents get the support.
From 06 to 07, I CIBT School of Beijing University of Technology to study for two years, I am learning is that I am interested in businemanagement. Through this two-year study, as in the commercial, I later laid a foundation for learning.
Many schools in New Zealand, I chose the UNITEC Institute. UNITEC is unique in that the traditional university academic standards and polytechnics and technical advantages of combining vocational education. School in combining theory and practice for school concept, exploring the creativity of the students to continue to adapt to social change.
This year, China will host the Olympic Games in Beijing. , The eyes of the world gathered here. In particular, some businessmen in China, a huge potential market in search of busineopportunities. Therefore, I choose to UNITEC Institute study marketing, I believe that this right after I returned employment development will be of great help. UNITEC particularly to the integration of theory and practical teaching methods, more determined my choice. Reading through UNITEC of Chinese students in the exchange, I understand MARKETING study very hard, I need to put more time and energy on top. Maybe I can not be like the other students on edge as the Edge Reading. But my parents understood my idea, I am willing to fully support the school.

About education
Education is very important nowadays in our society. In industrialized countries, jobs are very complex and people have to study for a long time and very often they should have training in computer technology.
Fifty years ago, our society was very different. Most people to have a job just needed a basic education.
Generally, people who have university studies have access to better jobs and better salaries. Moreover, they can often choose to work in something they like. I think that education is important because it can help people to have a better standard of life.
在我们今天的社会，教育是非常重要的。在工业化国家，工作是很复杂的，人们要学习很长一段时间，很多时候，他们得有电脑技术培训。
50年前，我们的社会是非常不同的。大多数人有一份工作只需要一个基本的教育。
一般来说，人们谁拥有大学的研究就能获得更好的就业机会和更好的薪水。此外，他们通常可以选择自己喜欢的工作。我认为，教育是重要的，因为它可以帮助人们有一个更好的生活水平。

老师、同学们：
大家好！
今天我要演讲的是我对于英语的学习方法和态度，不需要花太多的时间，只要能够理解就可以了。
我认为，学习英语的方法其实很简单，那些辅导材料只不过就是巩固知识。而我们在巩固知识前，就得学会学习英语。兴趣，记忆力和自信就是我的秘诀。
第一步：兴趣。
兴趣使然，如果你把学英语当成是一种娱乐，一种使你兴趣盎然的娱乐方式。我把英语当做是一种荣耀，一种享受，也把这种荣耀和享受化为自己的优势，弥补其他学科的缺憾。但是，这只是我的方式，也有的人其他方面很优秀。或许，不是学习上的，却也是一种优势。就比如，很多人喜欢玩电脑，就可以把学英语当成在玩电脑，每一次的检测都是打电脑的一关，把自己当成闯关的人，学习的过程，考试是终点，老师就是最后的评委。
第二步，记忆力：
记忆力的好也可以帮助学习，但是死记硬背的方式实在是套古老了，也太死板了，再好的兴趣也会被消磨光。所以，可以用一种节省时间，增加兴趣，享受时间的方法。在老师留作业，抄单词或句子的时候，先抄一遍，再根据脑袋里"肯定"的答案在接着继续默写，这样就达到了节省时间着点了。还有在背课文的时候，有些同学们后觉得这些太多了，太难了，简直就是在谋财害命，但老师就是硬要我们被下来，太痛苦了！那么，在这个时候，你可以把被课文当做是在背诗，记歌词，背诗背着背着就顺了，记歌词记着记着就好像是自己在听喜爱的音乐一般，这也有了增加兴趣，享受时间和节省时间了。
第三步，自信：
不论是丘吉尔的"好运"还是海伦`凯特的身体残缺，贝多芬的老年失聪，他们都凭借着自己的努力而成功。当然，在他们最努力的时候才是他们最自信的时候。因为他们都相信自己，才有努力的动力。而我们不论是学英语还是其他的什么科目，相信了自己，才有成功耀眼的那一刻！
谢谢大家！我讲完了。可能有些和我不一样的，欢迎和我交流！
Our common destiny
“ We are made wise not by the recollections of the past but by our responsibility for the future”
----George Bernard Shaw
China is faced with some enormous challenges as it enters the 21st century. In order to ensure the prosperity of our nation and its future generations we must confront and ultimately solve these challenges.
Some of the more pressing issues facing China are universal. These include environmental degradation, over population and the effects of globalization.
To overcome some of the things we need to implement include:
Enhancing our scientific and industrial technologies in such areas as IT, Bio- tech, AI and Cybernetics.
Further develop public infrastructure in under developed regions.
Promote education reform at all levels.
Introduce sustainable development initiatives.
The implementation of free trade agreement between China and ASEAN.
The benefit to China in introducing these initiatives will be significant and far-reaching. It is important to realize that these initiatives need to filter down through all elements of the society in China. For instance, cutting edge technologies and intellectual properties; the development of e-commerce based economy; an education system that encourages innovation and creativity; increased foreign investment; higher living standards; more efficient use of natural resources.
It is important for us to realize these reforms are both essential and necessary. These will help China to fulfill its vast and unrealized potential on the world stage. It will also contribute more to a globalized world of the new century.
As for the future our task is not to foresee but to enable.

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.
I like spring best of all the four seasons. When spring comes, it's gettingwarmer and warmer, and the world becomes rich and colorful.
The sun is red, the sky is blue, clouds are white, and the trees get greenagain.
In spring, we can see beautiful flowers everywhere. The birds come backfrom the south, and sing happily all day. Everything comes back to lifeagain.
Look, the boys and girls are flying kites by the river happily. Howbeautiful the season is!
We live in the world every day. We eat food, drink water, wear clothes, watch TV, use computers and so on. We are producing waste every moment.
Generally speaking, there are four sorts of waste. They are material waste, organic waste, inorganic waste and poisonous & harmful waste. Now, we are going to talk about each sort of waste one by one.
Material waste: it means the waste of substance or things from which something else can be made. For example, people throw away the used metal products and buy a new one, so the old metal waste accumulates. At last, they become waste. For example, when people finish reading newspaper, the paper will become waste. When the glass is broken, it also becomes waste. Nobody wants to use a broken window or drink with a broken glass or wear a pair of broken glasses. Once it is broken, it becomes waste. The rate of using plastics is increasing day by day. People use plastic bags because they are convenient. When they get home, they throw the plastics way, paying no attention to the environment. The more convenience plastics brings to us, the more plastic waste is produced. This is called “white pollution” as most plastics are white. Some of our products we use every day are made of rubber, just like the tyres and the bottom part of our shoes. It’s true that rubber plays an important role in our life. However, it also brings us some trouble when it has been used for a long time and becomes old. The old tyres become waste because it can’t break down by nature. This is really a big problem.
Today is the festival of joy and happiness let us get together;
Today is the warm edge together and friendship let us meet together; At the same time, thanks to all the guests and friends, come to the Christmas party together, and we spent together the happy, peaceful night. Let's bless in songs and meet the ding of the Christmas; Let us wish a better tomorrow, for tomorrow's devout prayer, wish peace and happiness! Sing out.
With the northland fluttering snowflakes, with our laughter, New Year is coming. In this happy festival atmosphere, with a New Year's wishes, with a vision of happiness.
With the New Year's bell, with New Year's day happy song, wish every devout prayers and wishes, in the coming year to be able to achieve.
Coming your way, I, we together, with the blessing of the New Year, we come together. Wish our friendship forever.
今天，是节日的喜悦和欢乐让我们相聚在一起;
今天，是热情的缘聚和友情让我们相逢在一起;同时，感谢所有的来宾和朋友们，一起来参加这个圣诞晚会，和我们共同度过这个快乐、祥和的夜晚。让我们用歌声和祝福迎接圣诞的钟声;愿明天更加美好，让我们为明天的平安和幸福虔诚祈祷、祝愿!尽情地高歌狂欢。
伴着北国飞舞的雪花，伴着我们的欢声笑语，新年来了。在这欢乐的节日气氛里，带着来年新春的'祝福，带着对幸福美好的憧憬。
伴着新年的钟声，伴着元旦快乐的歌声，愿每一个虔诚祈祷和心愿，在来年都能够实现。
你走来，我走来，我们走到一起来，带着新年的祝福，我们走到一起来。愿我们的友谊地久天长。
Every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. My friends will listen to me when I want to speak, will wipe my eyes when I cry, will take care of me when I am sick, and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.
Friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives. It is actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the sweeter it will be. It is also like a cup of tea. When we are thirsty, it will be our best choice, but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves, it is also the most fragrant drink.
All of us have to spare some time for personal lives. We have to find the chance to express our emotion and love. When staying with our friends, we can release ourselves completely. We can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry to-gether. I should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives.
As we know, we would feel lonely if we didn't even have a friend. But it doesn't mean we could depend on our friends all the time. There is a famous motto saying that "A friend is like a quilt with cotton wadding, but the real thing that keeps you warm is your own temperature." It is really true. We have to work hard together with our friends, encourage each other and help each other. When we receive love and friendship, we should repay as much as we can.
Finally, let's pray together now that one day, all of us could find the person we want to find, and could enjoy a real beautiful friendship in our lives. Let's pray the flower of friendship be-tween our friends and us would always bloom brightly in our hearts
When I was six years old, I began to go to school. The first school (which) I attended was a primary school. There were many subjects (which were taught in the school, such as Chinese, arithmetic, history, geography, drawing and so forth. Since I was (became) a student, I studied very hard. My parents were quite proud of me.
After I had studied there for three years, I entered a junior high school. When I was twelve years old, I became a student of a senior high school. I still studied very hard. Except on sick leave I was never absent from class. Everybody looked upon me as a model student.
我六岁的'时候，就开始上学了。我第一个上的学校是一所国小。学校里教的课目有许多，诸如国文，算术，史地，画图等等。既然我是一个学生，我就用功读书。我父母深以我为荣。
我在那边读了三年后，就进入初中。我十二岁的时候，就成为一个高中的物理学。我依旧用功读书。除病假外，我永不缺课。人人都把我看作是一个模范生。
good morning teachers and fellow students. today we would like to introduce a few favorite books to you.
my favorite book is (italian: cuore). this is a diary written by an italian boy enrico. the diary is about his life and study. it included various touching stories that happened around enrico, the mottos taught by his parents, as well as the wonderful ten "monthly" stories told by his teacher during the class. every word in the chapter describes the word "love". from patriotism to friendship, and to the love between parents and child -- really touching.
this novel taught me how to love, and how to learn from love. i really like this book very much. how about you? what is your favorite book?
my favorite book is . have you read it before?
As we all know, "Failure is the mother of success." But few people canreally understand what the saying means.
In the world, I am sure that no one dare say he hasn't met any trouble allhis life. So we must face failure. In fact, failure is not fearful, butimportant thing is how to face it correctly. Facing failure, people will nevertake their fate lying down.They will try their best to work harder and harderuntil at last they succeed.
Not being courageous to face setbacks, people have no chance to enjoy thepleasure of success. So they have nothing to do but feel sad and empty all dayand all night. In fact, they lose the chance of success themselves.
My friend, whenever in trouble, please remember, "Failure is the mother ofsuccess."
Thank you Oxford, and thank you Oxford Union.
It is truly an honor and a privilege to be here todayand that you have afforded me this opportunity tospeak to you.
I must confess, I am somewhat mystified as to whyyou are here. Because there won't be any singing,any hip-shaking. What so ever.
So, how do I, a girl from Barranquilla, Colombia come to occupy the same stage as Newton andChurchill. Lord knows I'm no Mother Teresa, but here I am, nonetheless.
I realize that one point of view from which I can depart is that of an artist. After all, it is who Iam. We artists depend on our imaginations.
When I first learned I was coming, I thought about the past and I imagined the future. Fromyour minds, ideas will sprout that will give new shape to the world. I cannot help but fast-forward to what the world will be like in 50 years. What will be happening? Who will we be?What challenges can we overcome? How will we live?
A general dictionary defines teamwork as a "Cooperative or coordinated effort on the part of a group of persons acting together as a team or in the interests of a common cause unison for a higher cause people working together for a selfless purpose and so on."Applied to workplaces teamwork is a method that aligns employee mindsets in a cooperative and usually selfless manner towards a specific business purpose.
Today there is no business or organization that does not talk about the need and value of teamwork in the workplace. While the concept of teamwork and its benefits are well known and talked about it is very rare to see it being practiced truly in reality. And you may have often noticed what appears outwardly as teamwork is not really teamwork internally. Some things cannot be accomplished by people working individually. Larger more ambitious goals usually require that people work together with other people. Because of this teamwork is a desired goal of many businesses and organizations today. Projects often require that people work together in order to accomplish a common goal. Although critics often argue that in the corporate world teamwork has become an empty buzzword or a form of corporate-speak. Effective collaborative skills are necessary to work well in a team environment. As businesses and organizations become larger or more sophisticated. Many employers attempt to enhance their employees' collaborative efforts through training cross-training and workshops in order to help people effectively work together in a cohesive group and accomplish shared goals.
Human beings are fiercely independent animals and we will always have our own opinions and independent methods of doing something. This is the way our minds are hardwired by nature. Except for a very small percentage of us sharing and collaboration with others is not exactly programmed inside each and every one of us. This is because each person is mainly concerned about his or her rewards appreciation need for power over others and so on. But teamwork is a different ballgame that aligns mindsets in a cooperative and usually selfless manner towards a specific business purpose. And it involves sacrifices sharing of rewards sharing the blame and punishments true uniformity suppression of personal opinions etc. which is not very palatable to many. It is always "What is in it for me" rather than "What is in it for us.
In order for teamwork to succeed one must be a teamplayer. A Teamplayer is one who subordinates personal aspirations and works in a coordinated effort with other members of a group or team in striving for a common goal. Businesses and other organizations often go to the effort of coordinating team building events in an attempt to get people to work as a team rather than as individuals.
A 20xx national representative survey HOW-FAIR revealed that Americans think that 'being a team player' was the most important factor in getting ahead in the workplace. This was ranked higher than several factors including 'merit and performance' 'leadership skills' 'intelligence' 'making money for the organization' and 'long hours'.
“The old structures are being reformed. As organizations seek to become more flexible in the face of rapid environmental change and more responsive to the needs of customers they are experimenting with new team-based structures”.
Look, I had second thoughts, really, about whether I could talk about this to such a vital and alive audience as you guys. Then I remembered the quote from Gloria Steinem, which goes, "The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off." (Laughter) So -- (Laughter)
So with that in mind, I'm going to set about trying to do those things here, and talk about dying in the 21st century. Now the first thing that will piss you off, undoubtedly, is that all of us are, in fact, going to die in the 21st century. There will be no exceptions to that. There are, apparently, about one in eight of you who think you're immortal, on surveys, but -- (Laughter) Unfortunately, that isn't going to happen.
While I give this talk, in the next 10 minutes, a hundred million of my cells will die, and over the course of today, 2,000 of my brain cells will die and never come back, so you could argue that the dying process starts pretty early in the piece.
Anyway, the second thing I want to say about dying in the 21st century, apart from it's going to happen to everybody, is it's shaping up to be a bit of a train wreck for most of us, unless we do something to try and reclaim this process from the rather inexorable trajectory that it's currently on.
So there you go. That's the truth. No doubt that will piss you off, and now let's see whether we can set you free. I don't promise anything. Now, as you heard in the intro, I work in intensive care, and I think I've kind of lived through the heyday of intensive care. It's been a ride, man. This has been fantastic. We have machines that go ping. There's many of them up there. And we have some wizard technology which I think has worked really well, and over the course of the time I've worked in intensive care, the death rate for males in Australia has halved, and intensive care has had something to do with that. Certainly, a lot of the technologies that we use have got something to do with that.
So we have had tremendous success, and we kind of got caught up in our own success quite a bit, and we started using expressions like "lifesaving." I really apologize to everybody for doing that, because obviously, we don't. What we do is prolong people's lives, and delay death, and redirect death, but we can't, strictly speaking, save lives on any sort of permanent basis.
And what's really happened over the period of time that I've been working in intensive care is that the people whose lives we started saving back in the '70s, '80s, and '90s, are now coming to die in the 21st century of diseases that we no longer have the answers to in quite the way we did then.
So what's happening now is there's been a big shift in the way that people die, and most of what they're dying of now isn't as amenable to what we can do as what it used to be like when I was doing this in the '80s and '90s.
So we kind of got a bit caught up with this, and we haven't really squared with you guys about what's really happening now, and it's about time we did. I kind of woke up to this bit in the late '90s when I met this guy. This guy is called Jim, Jim Smith, and he looked like this. I was called down to the ward to see him. His is the little hand. I was called down to the ward to see him by a respiratory physician. He said, "Look, there's a guy down here. He's got pneumonia, and he looks like he needs intensive care. His daughter's here and she wants everything possible to be done." Which is a familiar phrase to us. So I go down to the ward and see Jim, and his skin his translucent like this. You can see his bones through the skin. He's very, very thin, and he is, indeed, very sick with pneumonia, and he's too sick to talk to me, so I talk to his daughter Kathleen, and I say to her, "Did you and Jim ever talk about what you would want done if he ended up in this kind of situation?" And she looked at me and said,
"No, of course not!" I thought, "Okay. Take this steady." And I got talking to her, and after a while, she said to me, "You know, we always thought there'd be time."
Jim was 94. (Laughter) And I realized that something wasn't happening here. There wasn't this dialogue going on that I imagined was happening. So a group of us started doing survey work, and we looked at four and a half thousand nursing home residents in Newcastle, in the Newcastle area, and discovered that only one in a hundred of them had a plan about what to do when their hearts stopped beating. One in a hundred. And only one in 500 of them had plan about what to do if they became seriously ill. And I realized, of course, this dialogue is definitely not occurring in the public at large.
In the modern society study English is becoming more important and popular. But when I was young, I didn’t know of this and prefer to play outside rather than learn English. But my mother said :“English is the necessary tools to talk with foreigners, so you should study in an English class. Believe yourself, You can certainly study English well!”Finally I agreed my mom’s opinion and began to study ladder English when I was five.
At the beginning I was happy to study, because it was fun in the English class. We played games, and only studied five words, sentence a time. We also learned to sing a lot of English songs. In this studying environment, I was interested in English for the first time.
Members aunts and uncles:
Hello everyone! My topic today is about a serious issue - the environment. We only have one earth!
Perhaps you do not mind, but it really does not matter? Winter weather in recent years are haze; oil, metals depleted, and then on up to 200 years on, exhausted, in fact, 200 years is very short. Please for their offspring, children and grandchildren think about it!
Countries are now advocating savings. But year after year the food waste, to make our country less affluent temporary pressure even heavier. But, perhaps you will ask: "Why do not other countries now often foggy haze, then I give you an answer for now: between foreign every city and every city has a piece of land, woods, commonly known as: green belt So, the citys air can be evolved to maintain the flow of state.
In the early 1960s, other countries have started to this serious problem - that is, we are still struggling for the freedom of time, they have started the implementation of "greening" commands. Look, this is what a disparity gap ah!
In the Chinese capital - Beijing, this has been called the "fog" of the city, still has not improved look. Pollution in recent years, Beijings air is already turbid, somewhat like: haze approaching Beijing feeling. Days blockage, excessive exhaust emissions. Are these, those of us Chinese people either stop it? Environment of our country so we do not pay attention to?
From 1900, after the Antarctic ice gradually reduced. Scientists expect: If the average temperature of the Earth to rise again this earth, not far from destroyed. Do we really have to wait for death to come it?
The forest area in recent years less; every six hours extinction of a plant, animal world; there is no water to drink 20 percent of the human world; 40% of the human without food. It seems that we really can not get into a point where. Do we not have any solution approach?
It is there, but to see you this "patient" to face or to cure the. The best way to plant reforestation, prohibit the felling of trees casually, hunting animals. Free to waste food, water, electricity is to be punished, but also limit monthly, yearly water, electricity range. In this way, we can really do without waste, which does not save time savings.
Why the Earth will fall into this predicament? Is caused by our human hands, then, we must cherish them!
We have only one planet a home, a vast land. It is very easy to break, and let us like our parents Rare it Now!
Over the past couple of years， several cases of the food scandal have been disclosed on various media。 The problem of food security has bee a hot button across society。 The prevalence of food insecurity has greatly impacted public health， which the government could not afford to ignore， according to the online edition of the People Daily。 -
在过去的几年中，几起食品丑闻案件已经在各种媒体上披露。全社会的食品安全问题已经成为一个热题。食品不安全的盛行已经大大影响了群众的健康，根据人民日报网络版，政府不应当忽视这一问题。
There are a couple of driving forces， I would argue， behind this undesirable tide。 First， in the course of the rapid economic evolution， we ignore moral education， giving rise to the rising rate of the problem。 More importantly， the lack of adequate regulation and punishment on those illegal producers enforces the trend。 -
我认为这一不良行为的背后有很多驱动力。首先，在快速的经济进化过程中，我们忽视了道德教育，从而导致了这一问题不断上升。更重要的是，缺乏足够的对那些非法生产者的监管和处罚加强了这一局面。
As Confucius instructed， it is better late than never。 Prompt and strict measures should be taken to turn back this evil trend。 The government should launch a massive moral campaign to educate all citizens and draw up tougher laws to crack down on those irresponsible corporations and prohibit them from entering the food industry again。 I am firmly convinced that through our bined efforts we are bound to enjoy more risk-free foods in the days ahead。-
正如孔子教导的，迟到总比不到好。我们应当采取及时严厉的措施来扭转这一不好的局面。政府应当发起很多的道德运动以教育所有的市民，并制定更严厉的法律打击那些不负职责的企业，并禁止他们再次进入食品行业。我坚信，经过我们的共同努力，我们必须会在未来的日子中享受更多的无风险食品。

The past two days are special for the 7.23 million examinees and their parents. It is the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao in Chinese). Based on the current education system in China, the result of the two day exam greatly impacts the future of any students in China. The score will decide whether you can receive college education. For most places in China, only half of the students are eligible for college education (only 3.40 million will be admitted to colleges in 2019) and the rest has to start work after high-school. In cities like Beijing and Shanghai, students are lucky enough to have a much higher ratio (more than 70%) to enter colleges.
Tsinghua, Peking University, Fudan University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University are among the first class in China. But only very few people can go there.
To enter a college or not, or to enter a good college or not directly impact the first offer they can get after graduate and impact their career. So it is the most critical time for students.
Isaac recorded the "No Honking During Gaokao" sign. I saw the same sign near Henan Rd. and Zhaojiabang Rd.. Not only honking is not allowed. All construction sites around schools were ordered to work in limited time in the recent 10 days. Thousands of policemen are working around schools to make sure there is no noise or traffic jam during the two important days. Taxi drivers even offer free ride to transport examinees and their family.
Sino-Japan problem is always a sensitive topic, a fuse which can trigger a serial of explosion. Some so-called patriots argue that buying domestic products is patriotism and proclaim that in particular all the Chinese should reject goods marked “made in Japan”.
Those who are more extreme may smash or plunder a shop which sells Japan products or burn any Japanese car in the street no matter who owns it.
Then, how about launch a war against Japan so that we can destroy that malicious disgusting nation which had invaded our mother land then unscrupulous deny the history written in black and white?
What if a person, on one hand is a patriot from tip to toe and willing to sacrifice his life to his country if Japan dare to wage a war against China(if possible) while one the other hand he is a Japanese culture vulture?
What if the shop the mob smashed is owned by a hard working Chinese businessman? Had they committed a crime? Are the masses just venting their discontentment which accumulates day by day because of the appalling unfairness in the reality?
Is it true we just take Japan or international trade as an outlet?
Patriotism is not nationalistic fever, not intense ethnic emotion. We need to calm down and differentiate ethnical frenzy and moderate sober patriotism.
In addition, there is always danger to ignore the real problematic issue such as political corruption, academic plagiarism, educational unfairness, and social classes polarizing which are screaming for our attention and should be our priority.
What has been called for in the loudest voice is usually the most lacking one. Ramble roars in the movie “First Blood”-I have done everything for my country, what has my country done for me?! Nowadays, we badly need a rewritten version of Kennedy’s famous saying “ask not only what you can do for your country but also what your country can do for you.”
As the saying goes: "failure is the mother of success." This seems to have become a commonplace talk of an old scholar, but the actions and words are sometimes not consistent. When you report "red light", or the difficulties encountered in the work, your heart is in addition to upset, the other nothing? Are you aware of this failure is pregnant with the seeds of success! In this regard, everyone's answer is certainly not the same! This is quite necessary to talk about: failure is the mother of success.
There everything is going smoothly. Things, yet failure is always there, otherwise, the "inventor", "literary giant" reputation will not easily fall everyone's head? Throughout history, those who rise above the common herd men can succeed, it is because they can treat correctly failure, learn from failure to kick in, fail this stumbling block, set foot on the road to success, such as the great inventor Thomas Edison, too many to count - successful students, life is too many to count the failure. He was an invention has undergone eight thousand failed experiment, but he does not think it is a waste, but said: "why should I sad? This failed eight thousand times at least, so I understand the eight thousand experiments is not feasible." Edison's attitude towards failure. He often draw lessons from failure, sum up experience, thus achieved at a failed many times in the basis of inventions. Failures will bring pain, but it can also make people gain; it is pointed out to us that the errors and shortcomings in work, but also inspire us step by step to success. Failure is the success of negation, and is the foundation of success, that is to say: "failure is the mother of success."
However, in reality the success not failure accumulation, but failed to summary and beyond. If you don't understand this point, will cause the "absurd conclusion failure of more and more successful". Such as mathematics famous parallel axiom, from its inception, has always been suspicions. For thousands of years, countless mathematicians committed to proving the parallel axiom, but failed. The mathematician Porie engaged in the parallel axiom that there is no success, eventually died a painful death in despair. While the problem like a bottomless pit, gobbling up the people's wisdom and gives nothing in return, LObachevsky after seven years of verification without results, find out the reasons of failure. LObachevsky after numerous failures, summarizes and analyzes the failure of the antecedents and consequences, from the understanding of the problem, which was a success. Thus, "failure is the mother of success" is an objective law, but really want to transition from failure to success may become a reality, but also must pass through the analysis of exploration and scientific constantly, draw lessons from failure, to guide future work, so it is not "in vain" failure.
Young people prone to failure in the work, also easy to lose heart, therefore, we only remember "failure is the mother of success." this saying, to establish a strong self-confidence, can see the hope from the disappointment, from failure to success.
"Failure is the mother of success" should not only be our favorite motto, it is more important to be our guide to action. "Bao Jianfeng from sharpen out, the plum blossom incense come from the bitter cold", benefit from the failure, rising from the hard work, this is the youth road.
化Chinese food is very famous around the world, if you ask a foreign peopleabout his opinion on Chinese food, he will speak highly of it.When we see themovie, Chinese food is praised by the people.Recently, there is a famous moviecalled A Bite of China, the movie is popular, it introduces Chinese food fromdifferent places.The audience is attracted by the delicious food, they neverthought Chinese food would be so various.Now the second part of the movie hasbeen made out, more and more Chinese traditional food has been introduced.Afterappreciating the movie, I begin to learn more about Chinese food, I want to havetaste of them.I am so proud of our food, when we talk about it to foreignfriends, we can feel their favor of our food.The food is part of our culture,they should be inherited.
Hello everyone,I'm topic is "we should protect earth". As we all notice,the weather becomes very odd a month like now,it should be quite warm,but I'm still wearing my winter 's still rather cold,which shouldn't happen at this summer it's extremely cold while terribly hot in these factors make earth a unfavourible place to live in.
here you can show some pictures or other materials you have collected. We all know that earth is our common all live in provides us everyting we has been enormously generous to should do our best to care for her. Now before it's too late,I think we should start to take ect the earth starting from you and me,from what we can do instance,ALWAYS throw rubbish in the bin and etc.
Besides,we should try our best to know more about environment protection bad weather has made us suffer a lot.I believe everyone here has the same feeling as mine.I guess that's the price we paid for doing harm to the have nobody but ourselves to blame for that. At last,have you seen the movie"the day after tommorrow"'s a movie about 's a good one and worth to have a look. THANK YOU!
