Boys and girls:
We high school students do have some growing pains, but we can get rid of them correctly and wisely. First of all, some of us are upset about their figures and looks. Personally, I argue that it is one's inner beauty that really matters. That is why we needn't care about it.
Second, when we are misunderstood by our teachers, parents or even classmates, we can find a proper time to have a heart-to-heart talk with them, as communication is the best way to remove misunderstandings. Some of us complain they have few true friends. Being open-minded and ready to help others will surely gain popularity among peers.
Third, we may fall behind others, which makes us stressed. Determined to work efficiently, we can overcome any difficulty. If necessary, we may turn to the teachers for help.
Last, some of us don't have much pocket money, so they feel unhappy. Isn't it strange? So long as we have some, that's enough. We high school students should learn to save, as saving is a good virtue of the Chinese, shouldn’t we?
That's all. Thank you.
Some people say, you like. Our little progress and a little bit of resultsall gather the sweat of your hard work. Do you like the ship, led us to the seaof knowledge. Do you like hard gardener, to spread the knowledge of the rainevery day, we are nourishing the young trees.
You, whether it is frustrated or happy, you will always be accompanied bythe light of our. Teacher, why are you for nothing? You needn't have stayed uplate into the night without holding the mark; the exhausted body to ussmile.
Teacher, you are a construction worker, we are brick, you use the sweat tobuild us a house. Teacher, although you have no earth shattering performance.However, you to our growth not gave up how many days off endured many sleeplessnights, as you are a candle, burning themselves, others lit, you in a lifetimeof effort to cultivate our these flowers, the teacher is human soulengineer!
Teacher I want to say to you: "dear teacher, I thank you! I am verygrateful to you to accompany us through this turning point in life, toilluminate the road ahead of us."
Every child is surrounded by the deep mother love. However, we often turn a blind eye to the love. One day I deeply felt the love.
One day I hurried home for lunch after school, because there would be an exam in the afternoon and I had expected to go back to school early to prepare for the exam. But when I got home, the lunch was not ready yet. I felt unhappy. When the dishes were served, I found none I like. I ran out of my house angrily and wandered on the street for a while, hungry. Then I walked to school. When I got into the classroom, I saw a lunch box on my desk. One classmate told me that it was my mother there that had brought it here. After opening the box, I found my favorite food inside. My eyes was moist with tears.
Mother gave me her love without asking for return, How deep mother love is!
"If you don't want to wake up and find you have no pants to wear, you'd better put themon in sleep," goes a popular joke among students. Obviously, campus thefts have becomeincreasingly annoying as they occur far more often than before. And it seems that the thievesare less choosy these days, with their targets ranging widely from bikes, cell phones, purses,pre-paid IC cards to sunglasses, bags, and even underwear. In short, anything that worth adime is likely to be stolen.
What makes students the easy targets? The reasons are not hard to find. But I believe ofall these reasons, the lack of anti-theft alertness is the most important. For lack of alertness,the students tend to leave the doors and windows wide open during sleep at noon or at nightin summer. For the same reason, they'll also leave their bikes unlocked before a store or by aroad, or forget to take away their personal stuff before they go out of the classroom to make aphone call. These acts undoubtedly have increased their exposure to the light-fingeredmonsters.
In order to minimize possible losses, the students must stay on guard in the first place, asawareness of the thefts around often makes a big difference. To be more specific, thestudents should not hide any tempting amount of cash in the dorm. Put it in the bank instead.Besides, do not leave any valuable items unattended. Take them wherever you go. Inaddition, it's advisable to develop a neighbourhood watch programme with other students inthe dorm and neighbouring dorms.
good morning everyone, before my speech, i want to ask one question, what do you eat this morning? yeah, food is present in our life every time. so today my topic is how do we eat on campus?
1,in china there is an old saying: bread is the staff of life. the chinese meaning is 民以食为天。obviously, it means food plays a decisive [di'saisiv] role in our daily life, food safety is a matter of primary ['praim?ri] importance , the issue is closely related to ordinary people’s health.
2, as we know, the food safety is a serious problem in china, and on campus ,the matter is also exist, and the unhealthy food harm our health everyday. for example, in the morning, you buy a donut for breakfast, and likely, the donut is made by drainage oil; and when you hungry you buy kebab ,it may be dealed with chemical materials. so even on campus, we also should improve food safety awareness.
3, the unhealthy food seriously harm our body, it can cause different kinds of diseases, from a headache to cancer, this is not a threat, some unhealthy food, containing various additives. and which give a tremendous threat to us. some unhealthy food will make us ill, such as diarrhea , stomach ache and other disease of digestive tract. some food additives use chemical materials to make food looks better, but it will carcinogenic [,kɑ:sin?u'd?enik] in a long time.
Time flies!Our freshmen have spent two months in our beautiful campus of university. Every new beginning is a new challenge.We can't expect anything to be the same as our imagine.Different envirenment is a new battle.We are always curious with the things around.Though we come from different placeswe have our own dream our own ambition our own challenge.But the mankind is sometimes so fragile that it can't withstand outside lure.
Many students are the first time to be so far away form home.They come to a foreign city a foreign campus facing so many foreign but friendly faces.Plenty of activities bring us fresh air and pleasant fleeing.Be busy with study and work enriches our lifehelping preventing our homesick.
Life in campus is different with that in elementary school and middle school.We have much spare time dominated by our own.Our campus is just like another home.People from all corners of our country come together to form a big family.There are tears as well as laughters.We have troubles but we are also learning to conquer them.We become more and more brave and more and more stronger.We are no longer the little baby that will never grow up in our parents eyes.We are growing up day by day.
I love the life in our university. We have a new starting point a new origin and a period of a brand new life.Our freshmen life is continuing.Please wait and see our brilliant achievement!

尊敬的领导、老师、亲爱的同学们:
下午好!
狂天,是一个特殊的日子,也是一个值得我们纪念的日子。因为今天我们即将踏出珠光小学的校门,离开我们的母校,开始我们全新的中学生活,进入一个全新的学习阶段。
我们还记得珠光小学校徽的意义。那是一个很大的摇篮,里面装载着无数只大鹏鸟,只要大鹏一长大,就会飞向远处的天空,但它们不会忘记摇篮的养育之恩。我们就好比那一只只大鹏鸟,带着希望、梦想与感恩,飞出珠小。我们会在世界各地共同努力,为我们的信念,为不辜负老师们的期望而努力奋斗!
小学六年的时光过得总是那么快,是珠小让我们过得既快活又有意义。在此同时,我们还必须感谢辛勤的园丁----各位无私奉献的老师们,每天都在为我们而操劳,让我们在座的每一位同学都向他们表示感谢和敬意!
告别小学学习生涯后,我们携手一起努力!为报答珠小的辛勤栽培而在中学里努力吧!
money is not very important, but very very important.
however, is money the road to happiness? not really! many people work everyday,
work overtime, work weekends to make a lot of money. are they happy? no.they are
too busy making money. meanwhile, their personal lives, if they have any,fall apart.
they have no time to form or to maintain friendship. they even lose theabilities
to relax and to enjoy themselves. enjoying means taking things, taking timeto see,
to hear, to taste, to smell, to feel. they do not take time to do this.they say:
“i’ll do it when i have enough money to retire” then they find that it istoo lat
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.
as students, we could share more time with our friends. the friendship in our young hearts is pure, fresh and simple. i often feel very lucky to have a lot of good friends. especially when i had justin as one of my best friends. justin was my english teacher from the usa. i met him in 1996 when i was a student who could only speak very little english. justin was a vivid young man with a bright smile on his face, and he always had his special way to make the class active and attractive. he taught us english by telling stories, playing games, singing songs, and even dancing. i could still remember very clearly that one afternoon when we fin-ished our class, we went to some other classes to sing songs for them, just like what people do in the states on christmas eve. it was so interesting and unforgettable. justin was an excellent teacher, because he taught us not only how to study english well, but also the way to find out the beauty of the world and the way to be angels to others' lives. i know there was friendship and pure love in our hearts. facing this valuable emotion neither nationality nor age was important, the real importance lay in faith, under-standing, and care. justin is the best friend i have ever had, and i know i will cherish those days of staying together with him as the best part of my memory.
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.
however, in this fast-developing modern society, the reality is not that. more and more people forget to enjoy the beauty of life and -the beauty of friendship. they work hard in order to gain a higher position, in the society and to earn more money for their work. of course, we don't deny that it is important to find a bet-ter place in our lives, but we wish more and more people could pay a little more attention to themselves and their friends. 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.
我们每一个人,富裕还是贫穷,至少应该有一个或两个好朋友。我的朋友们会听我的,当我想说话的时候,会抹去我的眼睛当我哭泣,会照顾我当我生病了,和我的朋友会和我一起并排通过这次旅行的生活。 作为学生,我们可以分享更多的时间与我们的朋友。友谊在我们年轻的心是纯洁的,新鲜和简单。我经常觉得很幸运,有很多好朋友。尤其是当我有贾斯汀是我最好的朋友之一。贾斯汀是我的英语老师来自美国。我见到他在1996年当我还是一个学生,只能说很少的英语。贾斯汀是一个生动的年轻人和一个灿烂的微笑在他的脸上,他总有他的特殊的方式使课堂活跃和有吸引力。他教我们英语讲故事,玩游戏,唱歌,甚至跳舞。我仍然可以记得很清楚,当我们天色已类的一个下午,我们去了一些其他类为他们唱歌,就像人们在圣诞前夕在美国做些什么。它是如此有趣和令人难忘的。贾斯汀是一个优秀的老师,因为他不仅教我们如何学好英语,而且找到的美丽世界的方式和方法的天使到别人的生活。我知道有友谊和纯洁的爱在我们心中。面对这种宝贵的情感国籍和年龄是很重要的,真正的重要性在于信仰,理解,和关心。贾斯汀是我曾经遇到的最好的朋友,我知道我将珍惜那些日子和他呆在一起的最好的我的记忆的一部分。
友谊是一种财宝在我们的生活中。它实际上是像一瓶酒,将其保存的时间越长,甜。也像一杯茶。当我们口渴时,这将是我们的最佳选择,但当我们有足够的时间玩得很开心的,也是最芳香的饮料。 然而,在这个快速发展的现代社会,现实不是。越来越多的人忘了享受生命的美丽和——美丽的友谊。他们努力工作为了获得一个更高的位置,在社会和为他们的工作赚更多的钱。当然,我们并不否认,重要的是要找到一个好地方在我们的生活中,但我们希望越来越多的人能更关注自己和他们的朋友。我们所有人必须备用一些个人生活的时间。我们必须找到机会来表达我们的情感和爱。当住在我们的朋友,我们可以完全释放自己。我们可以做任何我们想要的,我们可以一起开怀大笑,一起交谈,甚至一起哭。我应该说在一起与我们最好的朋友是我们生活的最美妙的时刻。
我们知道,我们会感到孤独,如果我们甚至没有一个朋友。但这并不意味着我们可以依靠我们的朋友。有一个著名的格言说:“一个朋友就像一个被子棉絮,但真正的东西,使你温暖的是你自己的温度。“这是真的。我们必须努力工作和我们的朋友一起,互相鼓励,互相帮助。当我们接受爱和友谊,我们应该报答尽可能多。 最后,让我们一起祈祷,有一天,我们都能找到我们想要找到的人,并可以享受一个真正的美丽的友谊在我们的生活中。让我们之间的友谊的花朵祈祷我们的朋友和我们在我们的心总是绽放明亮。

DENVER — Parents and survivors of the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School are saying good things about an essay released Tuesday by the mother of shooter Dylan Klebold.
Susan Klebold made the most detailed public remarks by any parent of the two Columbine killers in an essay published in O, The Oprah Magazine. She said in the essay she had “no inkling” her son was suicidal or depressed.
The essay sparked strong emotions for Connie Michalik, whose son, Richard Castaldo, was shot and partially paralyzed in the rampage. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris killed 12 students and a teacher and wounded 23 others before killing themselves.
The shooters’ parents have said little in public since the massacre. They gave depositions in a lawsuit filed by victims’ families, but a judge in 20xx ordered those depositions sealed for 20 years after the case was settled out of court.
Survivors and their families have been left wondering about the boys’ parents in the decade since the shootings.
“You know, I always wondered how she felt and what she went through. ‘Cause I know I went through a living hell, and I was always sure she did, too,” Michalik told The Associated Press.
Michalik, who has never met Susan Klebold, said reading the essay answered some of her questions about the Klebold family.
“I applaud her for the courage to talk about this,” Michalik said Tuesday.
In the essay, Susan Klebold described the day of the shooting. She at first feared Dylan had been shot at school, not that he was one of the perpetrators.
Susan Klebold said the family was evacuated from their home the afternoon of the massacre because authorities feared even Dylan’s residence may have been rigged to explode. Still, she said, it took months for relatives to accept that the quiet boy who loved origami and Legos was to blame for the violence.
“We didn’t know that he and Eric had assembled an arsenal of explosives and guns,” Susan Klebold wrote. “We believed his participation in the massacre was accidental or that he had been coerced. We believed that he did not intend to hurt anyone.”
The magazine released excerpts from the essay last week and published the full text Tuesday.
A magazine spokeswoman said Susan Klebold has turned down several interview requests over the years but agreed several months ago to share an essay. There were no plans for her to appear on the show.
In an introduction to the essay, Oprah Winfrey told readers, “Since the day her son participated in the most devastating high school shooting America has ever seen, I have wanted to sit down with Susan Klebold to ask her the questions we’ve all wanted to ask — starting with, ‘How did you not see it coming?’ and ending with ‘How did you survive?’”
A spokeswoman for Susan Klebold has said there would be no further comment.
One of the shooting’s survivors, Krystal Miller, said Tuesday she has long had questions for the Klebolds but understood their silence.
“Over the years I would’ve loved to hear something,” said Miller, whose maiden name was Krystal Woodman. “But it sounds like she is still just reeling from it and processing it. So how is someone supposed to come out and give answers when they’re still trying to figure it out themselves?”
Before the implementation of reform and opening-up program pioneered by Mr Dengxiaoping in 1978,China was undergone a serious Recession.Even the country leaves not much discretionary money and therefore our people are in a tight corner.However,after those span of time,China has expierenced a profound transformation never seen in China before.
China has identified the goal for the first 2years of this century.That is to firm seize the important window of statigic opportunities to build a moderately prosperous sociaty of a higher standard in a all-round way for the benefits of our over one billion people.
Never Put off until Tomorrow What You Can DoToday
We have been told that never put off until tomorrowwhat you can do today since childhood. However,there are still many people who like putting off thethings that should do today until tomorrow.Theyhave no plans for their work and their time. As aresult, they will not accomplish their goals in theend. For example, one Sunday I felt so tired after having a football match that I did not finishmy homework even at night. I thought I could get up earlier to go to school the next morningso that I could finish my homework before class. But the next morning I was not able to get toschool in time because of the traffic jam. I was punished by the teacher. It taught me a lesson.From then on I made a determination that I would never put off anything important until thenext day. Please remember: Work today, for you don’t know how much you may be hinderedtomorrow. Seize the present day,cherish every minute you have now and trust the tomorrowas little as possible.
Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round
你曾否看过孩子们骑旋转木马
Or listened to the rain slapping on the ground?
或听过雨水拍打地面的声音呢?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight
你曾否追逐过飘忽不定的蝴蝶
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
或看着夕阳消失于地平线呢?
You better slow down,
放慢你的舞步
Don't dance so fast.
不要匆匆忙忙
Time is short,
人生苦短

Do you run through each day on the fly
你是否每天忙个不停
When you ask "How are you?", do you hear the reply?
当问候别人时,你真的在意他们的回答吗?
When the day is done, do you lie in your bed
每晚就寝时
With the next hundred chores running through your head?
你是否仍在脑海中念叨着无数的杂事呢?
You'd better slow down
放慢你的舞步
Don't dance so fast

音乐不会永远奏下去。
Ever told your child, we'll do it tomorrow.
你是否告诉过孩子们,我们可以把事情放到明天
And in your haste, not see his sorrow?
而由于你的仓促,却没注意到他的忧伤?
Ever lost touch, and let a good friendship die’Cause you never had time tocall and say “ Hi ” ?
珍贵的朋友也由于你太忙碌, 无暇问候彼此而失去了联系,
You’d better slow down.
放慢你的舞步
Don’t dance so fast
不要大匆忙
Time is short
人生苦短
The music won’t last...
音乐不会永远演奏下去。
When you run so fast to get somewhere,
当你匆忙赶到目的地时,
you miss half the fun of getting there.
也就错过了旅途中一半的乐趣。
When you worry and hurry through your day, it is like an unopened gift ...Thrown away...
当你终日忧心忡忡并马不停蹄时,就像一份礼物还没被拆开… 就已丢弃…
Life is not a race.
人生不是一场竞赛。
Do take it slower
放慢你的脚步,
Hear the music Before the song is over.
在音乐还没结束以前,倾听沿途的音符。
future?
How to say future?Man’s life is a process of growing up, actually I’m standing here is a growth.
If a person’s life must constituted by various choices, then I grow up along with these choices. Once I hope I can study in a college in future, however that’s passed, as you know I come here, now I wonder what the future holds for (= what will happen to) me.
When I come to this school, I told to myself: this my near future, all starts here.
Following I will learn to become a man, a integrated man, who has a fine body, can take on important task, has independent thought, an open mind, intensive thought, has the ability to judge right and wrong, has a perfect job. Once my teacher said :” you are not sewing, you are stylist; never forget which you should lay out to people is your thought, not craft.”

In the summer recess between freshman and sophomore years in college, I wasinvited to be an instructor at a high school leadership camp hosted by a collegein Michigan. I was already highly involved in most campus activities, and Ijumped at the opportunity.
About an hour into the first day of camp, amid the frenzy of icebreakersand forced interactions, I first noticed the boy under the tree. He was smalland skinny, and his obvious discomfort and shyness made him appear frail andfragile. Only 50 feet away, 200 eager campers were bumping bodies, playing,joking and meeting each other, but the boy under the tree seemed to want to beanywhere other than where he was. The desperate loneliness he radiated almoststopped me from approaching him, but I remembered the instructions from thesenior staff to stay alert for campers who might feel left out.
As I walked toward him I said, “Hi, my name is Kevin and I’m one of thecounselors. It’s nice to meet you. How are you?”
In a shaky, sheepish voice he reluctantly answered, “Okay, I guess.”
I calmly asked him if he wanted to join the activities and meet some newpeople. He quietly replied, “No, this is not really my thing.”
I could sense that he was in a new world, that this whole experience wasforeign to him. But I somehow knew it wouldn’t be right to push him, either. Hedidn’t need a pep talk, he needed a friend. After several silent moments, myfirst interaction with the boy under the tree was over.
At lunch the next day, I found myself leading camp songs at the top of mylungs for 200 of my new friends. The campers were eagerly participated. My gazewandered over the mass of noise and movement and was caught by the image of theboy from under the tree, sitting alone, staring out the window. I nearly forgotthe words to the song I was supposed to be leading. At my first opportunity, Itried again, with the same questions as before: “How are you doing? Are youokay?”
To which he again replied, “Yeah, I’m all right. I just don’t really getinto this stuff. ”
As I left the cafeteria, I too realized this was going to take more timeand effort than I had thought — if it was even possible to get through to him atall.
That evening at our nightly staff meeting, I made my concerns about himknown. I explained to my fellow staff members my impression of him and askedthem to pay special attention and spend time with him when they could.
The days I spend at camp each year fly by faster than any others I haveknown. Thus, before I knew it, mid-week had dissolved into the final night ofcamp and I was chaperoning the “last dance”. The students were doing all theycould to savor every last moment with their new “best friends” — friends theywould probably never see again.
As I watched the campers share their parting moments, I suddenly saw whatwould be one of the most vivid memories of my life. The boy from under the tree,who stared blankly out the kitchen window, was now a shirtless dancing wonder.He owned the dance floor as he and two girls proceeded to cut up a rug. Iwatched as he shared meaningful, intimate time with people at whom he couldn’teven look just days earlier. I couldn’t believe it was him. In October of mysophomore year, a late-night phone call pulled me away from my chemistry book. Asoft-spoken, unfamiliar voice asked politely, “Is Kevin there?”
“You’re talking to him. Who’s this?”
“This is Tom Johnson’s mom. Do you remember Tommy from leadership camp?”
The boy under the tree. How could I not remember? “Yes, I do”, I said.“He’s a very nice young man. How is he?”
An abnormally long pause followed, then Mrs. Johnson said, “My Tommy waswalking home from school this week when he was hit by a car and killed.”Shocked, I offered my condolences.
“I just wanted to call you”, she said, “because Tommy mentioned you so manytimes. I wanted you to know that he went back to school this fall withconfidence. He made new friends. His grades went up. And he even went out on afew dates. I just wanted to thank you for making a difference for Tom. The lastfew months were the best few months of his life.”
In that instant, I realized how easy it is to give a bit of yourself everyday. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I tellthis story as often as I can, and when I do, I urge others to look out for theirown “boy under the tree.”
在大一到大二之间的那个暑假,密歇根的一所大学主办一次中学学生干部夏令营,邀我担任辅导员。对于校园的多数活动,我都持赞同态度并积极参与,那次我同样欣然接受了。
头一天活动进行大约一个钟头,我注意到,开始活跃的营员们兴致浓厚,不太自然地互动起来,而树下却有一个孤零零的男孩。他身材矮小,瘦弱不堪,那明显的不安和羞怯使他显得不堪一击。在只有五十英尺远的地方,二百名充满激情的营员正在玩耍、开玩笑并互作介绍,而树下的男孩似乎除了想呆在原地,不想去任何地方。他流露出的极度孤独令我几乎难以靠近,但我没忘记资深辅导员们的提示:对可能感觉受到冷落的营员要保持警惕。
我走向那个男孩,对他说:“嗨!我叫凯文,是你们的辅导员。很高兴认识你,你好吗?”
带着颤抖的怯生生的声音,他勉强答道:“我想——还好吧。”
我平静地问他想不想投入到那些活动从而结识一些人,他轻声回答:“不,那不关我的事。”
我能感觉到他在面对一个新的环境,这种体验对他来说是全然陌生的。也不知为什么,我觉得强迫他加入也不妥当。他不需要鼓励性的讲,他需要的是朋友。几次沉默之后,我和树下男孩的接触就此结束。
第二天吃午饭的时候,我扯开嗓门,领着二百名刚认识的新朋友唱起了营歌。营员们都热情参与,我的目光游移于这群人,忽然那个“树下男孩”的样子吸引了我的注意:他孤零零地坐着,眼瞅着窗外。我几乎忘记了领唱的歌词。只要一有机会,我就会照旧用那些话问他:“你怎么样?你好吗?”
他的回答依然是:“嗯,我很好。我真地不想参与那种事儿。”
我离开自助餐厅的时候充分认识到,扭转这种状况所需的时间和所做的努力要比我想像的要多——即便是在能让他彻底“迷途知返”的情况下。
在当晚的全体工作人员会议上,我告诉了他们我对他的担忧。我向同事们说明他给我留下的印象,请求他们对他给以特别的关注,并尽可能花时间和他在一起。
每年我在营地度过的日子总是一晃而过,感觉比其它时间过得快。这次同样如此。我还没明白过来,星期三已成过去,露营的最后一晚来到了。我伴随营员们跳起“最后的舞蹈”。学生们都在竭力品味跟新“挚友”在一起的最后每一刻——他们或许以后再也见不到面了。
营员们共度这难忘的分别时刻,这时我突然目睹了我一生都记忆最清晰的一幕:那个曾透过厨房窗户茫然盯着外面的树下男孩,此时却成了不穿衬衫的跳舞奇才。他和两个女孩跳着摇摆舞,在舞池里到处舞动。我注视着他跟大家共享这亲密无间又意义深长的时刻,而仅仅几天前他却对他们连瞧也不瞧一眼。判若两人,让我无法相信。
我大二那年的十月,深夜的一个电话让我放下化学课本,一个柔和却生疏的声音彬彬有礼地问道:
“凯文在吗?”
“我就是,您是哪位?”
“我是汤姆?约翰逊的母亲,您还记得那个参加夏令营的汤米吗?”
树下的那个男孩,我怎么会不记得呢?
“我记得。”我说,“他是个很不错的小伙子,他现在情况怎么样?”
长长的反常沉默过后,约翰逊夫人又说道:“汤米这个星期从学校回家的时候,一辆汽车撞了他使他辞别人世。”我感到震惊,向她表示我的哀悼。
“我给您打电话,”她说,“只因为汤米好多次说起过您。我想让您知道,他今年秋季返校时有了自信心,交了新朋友,学习成绩提高了,甚至还出去约会过几次。我只想表达我的感激之情,因为是您改变了他。最后的这几个月是他度过的生命中最美好的时光。”
在那一刻,我意识到,你每天奉献出一点点还是容易得很,你可能永远都不知道你的举动对他人的影响有多大。我常常讲起这个故事,每当讲起的时候,我总是力劝别人也注意一下他们自己的“树下男孩”。
Hello everyone,
I’m happy to be here. I’d like to introduce myself
My name is Yan Yuhan. My English name is Anita.
I’m 7 years old, I’m a student, I’m in class three grade one
I am very glad to make a speech here! This time, I'd like to talk something about English. My topic is “I Love English”。
我很高兴可以在这里做一次演讲。这一次,我想谈谈英语。我讲的话题是我爱英语。
When I was young, my mother sent me to an English school. At there, I played games and sang English songs with others . Then I discovered the beauty of the language, and began my colorful dream in the English world.
当我还小的时候,我的妈妈送我到一间英语学校。在那儿,我和其它的小朋友们玩游戏,我发现这种语言的优美之处,从那时开始就对英语有着色彩斑斓的梦。
Everyday, I read English following the tapes. Sometimes, I watch English cartoons.
每天,我跟磁带读英语,有时也看看英语卡通片。
I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well.
我知道,罗马不是一天筑成的.。(成功需要日积月累。)我相信在持续不断的努力学习下,总有一天我可以拥有一口流利的英语。
one night a hotel caught fire,and the people who were staying in it ran out in their night clothes.
two men stood outside and looked at the fire.
“before i came out,” said one,“i ran into some of the rooms and found a lot of money.people don't think of money when they're afraid.when anyone leaves paper money in a fire,the fire burns it.so i took all the bills that i could find.no one will be poorer because i took them.”
“you don't know my work,” said the other.
“what is your work?”
“i'm a policeman.
“oh!” cried the first man.he thought quickly and said,“and do you know my work?”“no,”said the policeman.
“i'm a writer.i'm always telling stories about things that never happened.”
Dear teachers and students,
hello everyone! Today, the topic of my speech is "cherish life, safe life".
I know that most of the students will sing songs such as "peace to you" and "peace to a good man's life" to pray for success and peace; I believe that students understand the thinking of life contained in the words of "peace is blessing", "peace is gold"; I am sure that all the students have expressed good wishes to their parents, relatives, classmates and friends with auspicious words such as "peace, health, happiness and smooth". Yes, safety is more important than Mount Tai. It has always been the most basic lifeline for individuals, families, collectives and society. It is also the most important guarantee line for individuals to enjoy life and collectives to maintain stability.
At present, there are many casualties caused by ideological, psychological and behavioral deviations among primary and secondary school students, which expose the common safety risks of current students in ideology, psychology and behavior. One by one shocking, blood and tears intertwined tragedy can not help but make people sigh, fear, but also sounded the alarm for our safety.
"Life", what a vivid word“ "Safety" is such an old topic“ Happiness is such a wonderful state. Students: one person is safe, the whole family is happy; Life is supreme and safety is the key; Safety first, prevention first. Only in safety can life keep its vitality forever, and only in safety can happiness have its charm forever. Safety has built our beautiful home and become a link between relatives and friends. On the issue of safety, we must not be paralyzed or lucky. On the issue of safety, we must guard against and be alert. We must be alert to thinking, comply with the rules and be cautious in action; It is necessary to establish a high sense of safety. Everyone stresses safety, always and everything; It is necessary to build a great wall of safety for thought, behavior and life.
Perhaps many students will think that safety only refers to the safety of the body, even the physical health and not hurt; I think as long as my body is healthy and can move freely, it is called safety. I don't think that's all about security. Even a man with a sound physique, if his moral level is low, his ability to distinguish right from wrong is not strong, and if he is confused, he has the suspicion of forming a clique and drinking; If he shows his loyalty and causes trouble, he not only likes to go with the flow, but also wants to make trouble; What this shows is the problem of ideological security. Just as in the previous week, there were several fights between classmates, as well as events on the court. Basketball game should be a game of friendship and style, but there are so many students fighting for the win and lose, which makes the relationship between students tense. It's not hard to imagine that it's very difficult to be a good person all one's life with such unsafe thoughts. In addition, if a person with a sound physique indulges in the spiritual opium of bad books and online games, and sucks every day and everywhere, he can't help but wander and think about it in class; Late at night can not help but to cross the wall bubble Internet cafes stay up all night; If he is infatuated with the sentimental feelings of young boys and girls prematurely, he will search for sorrow and hatred without any reason, be crazy and stupid, be crazy and crazy, and even be jealous and resentful, and become a beauty. This shows the safety problem of behavior. With such unsafe behavior, it is also very difficult to read a good book steadily and smoothly.
Whether it is personal safety, ideological safety or behavioral safety, they all have one common characteristic, that is, the cruelty of the result. Traffic accidents, swimming and drowning accidents, sports accidents, and occasional accidents of chasing and fighting during recess. The light ones can hurt the physique, and the heavy ones can endanger the life. Their consequences are cruel. However, the deformity of ideology and morality and the deviance of behavior are more terrible than the unsound physique.
Zang Kejia wrote in the poem some people: "some people live, but they have died." I think that those who lose their healthy spiritual pursuit, lose their right direction of life, and have a living body are the products of incomplete thinking? At best, this "product" can only be a machine that endlessly absorbs and digests the blood and sweat of parents. It can only become a waste in the long river of social development, and even a dangerous substance endangering social development.
Dear teachers and students, we all live in a close relationship interwoven by family affection, morality, responsibility, obligation and so on. So the individual is not just the individual. Everyone's present is connected with the future, everyone's own is connected with the family, and everyone's honor and disgrace are connected with the whole. For the growth of individuals, for the happiness of families, for the whole of honor and disgrace, let's build a great wall of safety for our thoughts, behaviors and lives, and be good people. Only good people can live a safe life; I wish a good man a safe life.

Safety is very important. We often hear people say “safety first”. As a middle school student, we should learn to protect ourselves from every possible danger. Here are some things I do. I hope you can follow them.On your way to school and home. You should obey the traffic rules. You should walk on the right side of the road. Don't ride your bike too fast.During school, you can't fight with each other. Don't play with fire. Don't bring knife to school. Don't go out of school without your teacher's permission.In public places or campus, enough water plugs,extinguishing agents and emergency outlets should be set and prepared for unforeseen circumstances.Above all,a series of precautions must be taken to guarantee the students' safety. Let's make the campus safe through our long-term unremitting efforts. 安全是非常重要的。
我们经常听到人们说“安全第一”。 作为一个中学生,我们应该学会保护自己免受一切可能的危险。
这里有一些我做的事情。 我希望你能跟随他们。
在你去学校和家的路上。 你应该遵守交通规则。
你应该走在路的右边。 不要骑自行车太快。
在学校期间,你不能与对方斗争。 不要玩火。
不要把刀带到学校。 未经你的老师许可,不要出校。
在公共场所或校园,应为不可预见的情况设置和准备足够的水塞,灭火剂和紧急出口。最重要的是,必须采取一系列预防措施,以保证学生的安全。
让我们通过长期不懈的努力使校园安全。
In China, the woman who is more than 40 year-old is called Da Ma, it has to be admitted that Da Ma is a powerful group, they own certain money at hand, we always hear about the news about them buying house everywhere or flying to the foreign country to buy the brands. The large group now has invaded the square at night, when the night comes, several groups of Da Ma go to the square, playing the music and dance until 9 o’clock. About few years ago, only few women would do this, but now, as the economy develops, people live a better life, so they begin to find entertainment. Da Ma have made the square dance popular, when we go out at night, we may find them dance everywhere. I think square dance is a good way for people to get exercise, they can keep fit.
在中国,超过四十岁的妇女叫做大妈,不得不承认,大妈是一个很有权利的群体,她们手头上有一定的金钱,我们总是看到大妈到处买房子或者是飞到国外购买名牌的新闻。这个庞大的群体现在已经攻占了晚上的广场,当夜晚来临的时候,几个大妈团体就会走到广场里,开着音乐,一直跳到九点。大约几年前,只有少数的妇女会这样做,但是现在,随着经济的发展,人们过上了好日子,因此他们开始寻找娱乐。大妈让广场舞变得流行,当我们晚上走出去的时候,我们可以发现她们无处不在跳舞。我觉得广场舞对人们来说是锻炼的好方式,可以保持健康。
“ 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 andthe 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.
In China, almost every family has TV set in their house. Television has made great contribution to people’s daily lives and children’s education. Some people even think that television is one of the greatest inventions in the world.
But there is a good side and a bad side to everything and that includes the television.
On one hand, TV is a powerful educational tool that through it people know what is happening in the rest of the world. Because of television, people begin to understand different cultures and current affairs.
They know about the things they never knew before, they create their own opinions and form their sense of worth. The TV opens a brand-new door for them to explore the things they want to know. Many people may go traveling due to watch the beautiful scenes in TV.
On the other hand, some people may find them addicted to television, especially the young people.
They spend most of their free time watching TV programs instead of playing outside with their peers.
In this case, the children may lack of the ability of communicate effectively with others.
TV makes them isolated. What’ more, sometimes the TV programs may contain se-xual scenes or bloody scenes that not suitable for children to watch.
This will cause negative effects on them.
To sum up, I think television has both advantages and disadvantages, people should find a balance between it. Make the most use of it, don’t be the salves of it.
As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity. Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.
Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.

我是6班,我的名字是某某,我很荣幸在这里讲话,我很高兴能和你分享我的话题,做我们自己的事。
随着社会的发展,越来越多的人迷失了自我,他们不知道自己想做什么,他们不知道自己在做什么,这是多么可怕!
对于我们,我们不能选择出生,我们不能选择我们的父母,我们不能选择我们的出生国,我们不能选择我们的死亡时间,但我们可以选择如何面对我们的生活:幸福或不快乐,积极或消极。什么是重要的,我们应该做什么,我们不应该做什么,我们可以自己决定。不管我们如何选择和决定,所有这些都是由我们做的,所以不要太在意别人怎么看你,只做自己,自己做。
让我们做一颗心吧,让我们活在阳光下,让我们的生活更有意义,做我们想做的事,做我们自己做的事,做我们自己的事。
这是所有的,谢谢你的聆听。
The City Mouse and the Country Mouse
Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."
The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.
After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid."
good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
it would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the negro. this sweltering summer of the negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning.
those who hope that the negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. there will be neither rest nor tranquility in america until the negro is granted his citizenship rights. the whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
but there is something that i must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. in the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
we must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. we must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.
the marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the negro community must not lead us to distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.
we cannot walk alone.and as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall march ahead. we cannot turn back. there are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "when will you be satisfied?" we can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. we cannot be satisfied as long as the negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. we can never be satisfied as long as a negro in mississippi cannot vote and a negro in new york believes he has nothing for which to vote. no, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.
As we all know,smoking is not only bad for our health,but also bad for our society.therefore,our govrenment has publish an ban about forbid people smoke at the public place form 20xx.1.1,including the indoor pulic placces,indoor public workplaces and pulic transport means.this ban will first come into power in the medical system.
In order to make this ban come into power,we should do what we can to reduce the behavior of smoke around us.we can put up some posteres at public places to aware people this is no-somking place.Perhaps the most important ,and most easyist thing that we can do is we won't be a smoker.
It has a long and hard way to forbid somke,but I believe that if everyone follw this ban and take a googd care of their behavior,we will have a clear sky soon.
spring is the first season of a year . there are there months in spring :morch , april and may , the weather is warm and windy . it rains a lot . thetrees turn green and all the flowers are coming ont . in spring, i can wear myshirts . i often plant trees and go hiking . so i like spring very much . ofcourse , i like the spring festival , too .
My dear friends,
Should smoking be banned?
Different people have different opinions. Somesmokers think smoking is a kind of enjoyment, andthey could live without food but will die withoutsmoking. Also they said they have freedom ofsmoking and it has nothingto do with others.However a lot of non-smokers don't agree. In theiropinion, smoking is harmful to not onlysmokersthemselves but also public health especially thewoman and children. Therefore, many coutries have worked out lots to forbid smoking in publicplaces, such as cinemas, hospitals, stations etc. Nowadays, smokersmake up one quarter of theworld's population. If the problem of smoking is not dealt with seriously, human health will bein danger. So smoking should be banned in no time.
thanks for your attention.
a common concept among some people is that opportunities are few. they always complain that opportunities never occur to them. they only admire those people who make a hit or succeed by seizing some opportunities, and always wonder why they are never given a good opportunity to show their talent.
another common notion is that there are opportunities everywhere. opportunity may occur to anybody at any time and under any circumstances as long as he/she keeps ma-ki-ng constant efforts. as a student, you can get to the top through your hard work. as a businessman, you can succeed through accurate calculation and with a complete certainty that you can make a profit.
in my opinion, opportunity favors only those who keep trying and who are ready for it. as the saying goes "god helps those who help themselves", so no matter whether there's opportunity or not, what we should do is to study, to learn and become learned people, only in this way can you seize your opportunity when it occurs. so never say there's no opportunity again, opportunities are around us.
It is a commonplace among moralists that you cannot get happiness by pursuing it. This is only true if you pursue it unwisely. Gamblers at Monte Carlo are pursuing money, and most of them lose it instead, but there are other ways of pursuing money which often succeed. So it is with happiness. If you pursue it by means of drink, you are forgetting the hang-over. Epicurus pursued it by living only in congenial society and eating only dry bread, supplemented by a little cheese on feast days. His method proved successful in his case, but he was a valetudinarian, and most people would need something more vigorous. For most people, the pursuit of happiness, unless supplemented in various ways, is too abstract and theoretical to be adequate as a personal rule of life. But I think that whatever personal rule of life you may choose it should not, except in rare and heroic cases, be incompatible with happiness.
There are a great many people who have all the material conditions of happiness, i.e. health and a sufficient income, and who, nevertheless, are profoundly unhappy. In such cases it would seem as if the fault must lie with a wrong theory as to how to live. In one sense, we may say that any theory as to how to live is wrong. We imagine ourselves more different from the animals than we are. Animals live on impulse, and are happy as long as external conditions are favorable. If you have a cat it will enjoy life if it has food and warmth and opportunities for an occasional night on the tiles. Your needs are more complex than those of your cat, but they still have their basis in instinct. In civilized societies, especially in English-speaking societies, this is too apt to be forgotten. People propose to themselves some one paramount objective, and restrain all impulses that do not minister to it. A businessman may be so anxious to grow rich that to this end he sacrifices health and private affections. When at last he has become rich, no pleasure remains to him except harrying other people by exhortations to imitate his noble example. Many rich ladies, although nature has not endowed them with any spontaneous pleasure in literature or art, decide to be thought cultured, and spend boring hours learning the right thing to say about fashionable new books that are written to give delight, not to afford opportunities for dusty snobbism.
If you look around at the men and women whom you can call happy, you will see that they all have certain things in common. The most important of these things is an activity which at most gradually builds up something that you are glad to see coming into existence. Women who take an instinctive pleasure in their children can get this kind of satisfaction out of bringing up a family. Artists and authors and men of science get happiness in this way if their own work seems good to them. But there are many humbler forms of the same kind of pleasure. Many men who spend their working life in the city devote their weekends to voluntary and unremunerated toil in their gardens, and when the spring comes, they experience all the joys of having created beauty.
The whole subject of happiness has, in my opinion, been treated too solemnly. It had been thought that man cannot be happy without a theory of life or a religion. Perhaps those who have been rendered unhappy by a bad theory may need a better theory to help them to recovery, just as you may need a tonic when you have been ill. But when things are normal a man should be healthy without a tonic and happy without a theory. It is the simple things that really matter. If a man delights in his wife and children, has success in work, and finds pleasure in the alternation of day and night, spring and autumn, he will be happy whatever his philosophy may be. If, on the other hand, he finds his wife fateful, his childrens noise unendurable, and the office a nightmare; if in the daytime he longs for night, and at night sighs for the light of day, then what he needs is not a new philosophy but a new regimen----a different diet, or more exercise, or what not.
Man is an animal, and his happiness depends on his physiology more than he likes to think. This is a humble conclusion, but I cannot make myself disbelieve it. Unhappy businessmen, I am convinced, would increase their happiness more by walking six miles every day than by any conceivable change of philosophy.
