Hello, everyone! It’s my great honor to make a speech today. First, please allow me to introduce myself briefly. I am a student from Zhejiang province. The topic of my speech is “protecting the blue planet”.
We have only one earth,- the blue planet. There are everything that adults and children are suitable to live. That is the same meaning of human’s home. Therefore, our children’s future depended on our action. However, we are facing many problems nowadays. For example, environment pollution, climate change and reduction of resources. It’s significant to know how to protect our world.
To begin with, we should understand the problem of environment pollution is more and more serious all around the world. With the development of industry and agriculture, cars make great noises and give off poisonous gas. Waste water is being poured continuously by some industries. What‘s worse, people are cutting down increasing number of trees which is used to make oil. What we can do first is to enhance our consciousness with strengthens.
Second, in order to save our resources, such as trees, electricity and water. We can see saving the resources as our duty. In our daily life, we could use cloth bags rather than plastic bags. Also, reducing the frequency of using the disposable products even rejecting. When it comes to save water, we can turn off the tap whenever we see. To governments or sections of organizations, we should create some policies and implement them when we faced with a global threat. Let’s do an experiment, if you carry out my suggestion a week or a month, you will become more enjoyable and meaningful. And the company will become one of the sustainable enterprises.
Last but not the least, the epidemic of covid-19 was outbreak unconsciously, we have no choice, but to unite, and do it fast. Under the circumstances, some countries choosed not to cooperation. I must say, it was an incredibly shortsighted approach. Though covid-19 is exposed first in China, it didn’t mean we are the only one origin of this disease. As the disease found, China governments at all levels have taken the protecting work priority. By sharing the vaccines and medicines in time, the condition of covid-19 turned well among our country. On one hand, our government carried the pleasure from the world. On the other hand, our people were facing the fear. It’s unfair to criticize China. In my view, we should transform the world in one generation to a conscious, listening world- a world of connection, a world of understanding and a world of peace.
Just like the Martin Luther King “I have a dream”, I hope our world can create better environment and biodiversity within my lifetime. Wishing hear the voice of youngers and refugees and see their smile because there were no wars in the near future. To think beyond national borders and nationalities. I do willing to protect our earth via my a bit power.
All in all, there is no doubt that we should take measures right now to protect our earth, which is also can be called our forever home. So, what are we waiting for?
Thank you for listening!
I have a dream today
hello everyone!
I have a dream that one day every vally shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
Wow, what a dream it has been for Martin Luther King. But the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up, and sometimes I personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.
However, we meed dreams. They nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. They keep us going. Most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great. When we were little kids, we all dreamed of doing something big and splashy, something significant. Now what we need to do is to maintain them, refresh them and turn them into reality. However, the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how to translate these dreams into actions. Well, just start with concrete objectives and stick to it. Don’t let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong belief of future. Through our talents, through our wits, through our endurance and through our creativity, we will make it.
Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today.
Thank you!
I don't think so. printed books won't be abandoned in such a short time. I admit that new technology is developing fast.
Many advanced electronic products are gradually take the place of traditional tools. Just like in university, teachers like to use multimedia in class for it is quite convenient and efficient. However, for our student, it is not realistic to study completely by electronic products.
There are many things need to recorded on books. Books are something meaningful and practical. I should say, in our country, printed books wouldn't be abandoned within 20 years at least for two reasons.
Firstly, books are classical container of knowledge. They accompany human to advance. A student without books could be someway ridiculous.
Secondly, our country haven't developed so strong to make every student study by computer or other forms of electronic tools. And even after 20 years, the possibility is also very small.
I also think it is unnecessary because books are cheap but useful and still meaningful.
Is your definition of success a fatal mistake?
For some, success is defined in terms of the dollar amount on a paycheck. For others, it's the title on their business card. Others may define success in terms of the accolades and awards they have won.
But the problem with how people define success these days is that when they're forced to change it, they can't. Look at the businessmen who have committed suicide because they have lost fortunes. Consider the workers who are fired and then go back to work, armed with a gun.
Extreme cases, sure. Not everyone considers killing themselves or others when their livelihood is threatened. But it does point out that maybe we need to revisit our own definition of success.
Start by completing this definition: "Success to me is…"
After you complete this sentence, then review it and determine if you're on the path to achieving that success. If you were to lose your job or money tomorrow, would your definition of success still be valid? Or, would you consider yourself a failure?
I remember a job where I worked long, stressful hours and often labored for a boss who had mood swings like a freaking roller coaster. It made for a tense situation, to say the least. One day I was talking to a co-worker and the exhaustion was overwhelming. I felt so dissatisfied, frustrated and even angry. Then it hit me: If I died that day, I didn't want the only thing on my tombstone to be "Always met her deadlines."
Ugh, I remember thinking. I wanted my life to account for more than that. It wasn't until months later that I started making some real changes in my life, changes that I know made me much better able to balance my life and devote time and effort to more than my job.
Right now, times are tough and some of us are beginning to panic. But I think it's a golden opportunity to really think about what is important in your life, and weed out the things that don't really matter.
You are the one who must define what success is to you. One thing I know for sure: You are more than a job title, you are worth more than a number on a paycheck and you are more than an award to hang on your wall. Is the destination you have in mind worth the road you must travel? Only you can answer that.
No thought exactly, exactly when to start, has set foot on the road of youth, young no longer time, started the different thoughts and mood. More moment of time, water out eventually must stop, forever all, no longer believe that anything is immortal.
For a long time, we are always in the wandering and hesitation, the fork in the road of life, can not find the way forward, have no one to give you direction, pain, sorrow, to follow. We sighed with emotion, always feel that, because of youth, life becomes muddy; Because of the youth, we become decadent disconsolate. Because of the youth, we couldn't see the future.
However, should not is the youth.
Youth is the pronoun of surging blood, is permeated with enthusiasm, is hard work, try is endless. Youth is amenable to hone but can't afford to spend, withstand development but can't afford to waste. All day long malaise, the eyes see is decadent, what's the point? More complaints, discontent, and can change what? Just can make oneself feel living very tired very heavy, and then again the complaints, discontent, so, a vicious cycle.
In fact, we are young, what is impossible! Had so many dreams, is this in this great good youth, to strive, to strive, to an opportunity to achieve all you want. As long as bravely forward, efforts to pay, even if to finally failed to gain what you want, in the process of experience have you enough to treasure memories.
Youth, give you, my life only once, prime not heavy, once a day morning, when encouraged in time, time and tide wait for no man. Is most worthy of being highly treasure the value of each and every day, grasp today, grasp tomorrow, welcome the first ray of sunshine every day. Youth time is priceless, every minute counts.
Most of the time will feel tired, helpless, not a lot of passion. Whether because our heart is no longer young, everything is see through? No, dominate the world is you, give up the world is still you. Haze weather mood diary or beautiful, are you in writing.
Perhaps, in this materialistic, false prosperity of society, do you want to just flatly light life, "otherwise, serene life", do not want to pursue in the repeated, do an ordinary person. We can't go too one-sided evaluation says this is right or wrong, but ordinary doesn't mean mediocrity. We can be ordinary, but can not mediocrity.
Once, many years later, when to do, say, always feel that is so childish. Young ignorance, is the young dream, the wasted years filled with youthful dribs and drabs. May be sad, may be sad. Want to say is, do not experience wind and rain, how see rainbow; Want to say is, don't give up, want to stay more has also is the scenery along the way. Want to say is, no matter what, all is the past, no need to go to with grief.
One day we will enter the adult, in the way of youth away. But please don't be sad, because leave is for better memories. Someone once said "life is like a one-way ticket to no return, no rehearsals, every game is live. Grasp every performance is the best to cherish life." When we looking back again, can say proudly: when we were young, we had struggled, and burned. Without regret to face yourself, face the future, never have regret!
没有确切地想过，到底是从何时开始，就已经踏上了青春的道路，年少的时光不再，开始了另一番的思想与心境。更多地须臾长叹：细水长流终须止，天长地久有尽时，不再相信有什么东西是永垂不朽的。
很长的一段时间，我们总是在徘徊、彷徨，人生的岔路口上，找不到前进的道路，没有能够给予你指导方向的人，痛苦、忧伤接踵而至。我们感叹着，总觉得，因为青春，生活变得泥泞不堪;因为青春，我们变得颓废惘然;因为青春，我们看不清未来。
可是，青春并不应该是这些的。
青春的代名词是澎湃的热血，是洋溢的热情，是努力的拼搏，是无尽的尝试。青春是经得起磨练但经不起消磨的，经得起开发却经不起挥霍。整日的萎靡不振，眼里看见的只是颓废，这些又有什么意义呢?再多的抱怨，再多的不满，又能够改变什么呢?只是会让自己觉得活的很累很沉重，然后再次的抱怨、不满，如此下去，恶性循环罢了。
其实，我们还年轻，有什么事情是不可能的!曾经那么多的梦想，正该乘着这大好的青春年华，去拼搏、去努力，给所有的梦想一次实现的机会。只要勇敢得向前，努力的付出，即使到最后没能够收获你想要的，过程中的经历也已经足够你去珍藏回忆的。
青春，只赋予你、我一生一次，盛年不重来，一日难再晨，及时当勉励，岁月不待人。最值得高度珍惜的莫过于每一天的价值，把握住今天把握住明天，迎来每天的第一缕阳光。青春时光无价，一刻千金。
很多时候都会觉得疲惫不堪、无可奈何，没有太多的激情。是否是因为我们的心已经不再年轻了，将一切都已经看透?不，主宰世界的是你，放弃世界的仍然是你。心情日记里天气的阴霾或风和日丽，其实都是你自己在撰写。
或许，在这物欲横流，虚假繁荣的社会里，你想要的只是平平淡淡的生活，“与世无争，恬淡一生”，不想在反反复复中追寻，只做一个平凡的人。我们不能过于片面的去评价说这是对是错，但是平凡并不意味着平庸。我们可以平凡，但绝不可以平庸。
很多年以后，回想起曾经做的事、说过的话，总会觉得是那么的幼稚。年幼的无知，少年的白日梦，蹉跎的岁月中充斥着青春的点点滴滴。或许会悲伤，或许会难过。想说的是，不经历风雨，怎能看见彩虹;想说的是，再多的不舍、留恋也已经是沿途的风景;想说的是，无论是什么，都已经是过去的了，没有必要再去纠结哀伤。
终有一天我们将会进入成年,在青春的路上渐行渐远。但请不要悲伤,因为离开是为了更好的回忆。有人曾说过“人生就像一张有去无回的单程车票，没有彩排，每一场都是现场直播。把握好每次演出便是对人生最好的珍惜。”当我们再次回首往事时，可以很自豪地说：当我们年轻时，我们奋斗过，尽情燃烧过。可以无悔地面对自己，面对未来，不曾有过遗憾!
good morning ladies and gentlemen:
the title of my speech today is “the doors that are open to us ”。
the other day my aunt paid me a visit. she was overjoyed. “i got thehighest mark in the mid-term examination!” she said. don't be surprised! my auntis indeed a student; to be exact, a college student at the age of 45.
last year, she put aside her private business and signed up for a one-year,full-time management course in a college. “this was the wisest decision i haveever made,” she said proudly like a teenage girl. to her, college is always aright place to pick up new ideas, and new ideas always make her feel young.
“compared with the late 70s,” she says, “now college students have manydoors.” my aunt cannot help but recall her first college experience in 1978 whencollege doors began to be re-opened after the cultural revolution. she wasassigned to study engineering despite her desire to study chinese literature,and a few years later, the government sent her to work in a tv factory.
i was shocked when she first told me how she (had) had no choice in hermajor and job. look at us today! so many doors are open to us! i believe therehave never been such abundant opportunities for self-development as we havetoday. and my aunt told me that we should reach our goals by grasping all theseopportunities.
the first door i see is the opportunity to study different kinds ofsubjects that interest us. my aunt said she was happy to study management, butshe was also happy that she could attend lectures on ancient chinese poetry andon shakespearean drama. as for myself, i am an english major, but i may also goto lectures on history. to me, if college education in the past emphasizedspecialization, now, it emphasizes free and well-rounded development of eachindividual. so all the fine achievements of human civilization are open tous.
the second door is the door to the outside world. learning goes beyondclassrooms and national boundaries. my aunt remembers her previous college daysas monotonous and even calls her generation “frogs in a well.” but today, as theworld becomes a global village, it is important that our neighbors and we beopen-minded to learn with and from each other. i have many fellow internationalclassmates, and i am applying to an exchange program with a university abroad.as for my aunt, she is planning to get an mba degree in the united kingdom whereher daughter, my cousin, is now doing her master's degree in biochemistry. weare now taking the opportunity to study overseas, and when we come back, we'llput to use what we have learnt abroad.
the third door is the door to lifelong learning. as new ideas appear allthe time, we always need to acquire new knowledge, regardless of our age.naturally, my aunt herself is the best example. many of my aunt's contemporariessay that she is amazingly up-to-date for a middle-aged woman. she simplyresponds, “age doesn't matter. what matters is your attitude. you may think it'sstrange that i am still going to college, but i don't think i'm too old tolearn.” yes, she is right. since the government removed the age limit forcollege admissions in _, there are already some untraditional students, sittingwith us in the same classrooms. like these people, my aunt is old but she isvery young in spirit. with her incredible energy and determination, she embodiesboth tradition and modernity.
the doors open to us also pose challenges. for instance, we are faced withthe challenge of a balanced learning, the challenge of preserving our finetradition while learning from the west, and the challenge of learningcontinuously while carrying heavy responsibilities to our work and family. so,each door is a test of our courage, ability and judgment, but with the supportof my teachers, parents, friends and my aunt, i believe i can meet the challengehead on. when i reach my aunt's age, i can be proud to say that i have walkedthrough dozens of doors and will, in the remainder of my life, walk through manymore. possibly i will go back to college, too.
thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.

Hello everybody ,The title of my speech is"nice day".
As you slowly open your eyes, look around, notice where the light comes into your room; listen carefully, see if there are new sounds you can recognize; feel with your body and spirit, and see if you can sense the freshness in the air.all yes, it’s a new day, it’s a different day, and it’s a bright day! And most importantly, it’s a new beginning for your life, a beginning where you are going to make new decisions, take new actions, make new friends, and take your life to a totally unprecedented level.In your mind’s eye, you can see clearly the things you want to have, the paces you intend to go, the relationships you desire to develop, and the positions you aspire to reach.
You can hear your laughters of joy and happiness on the day when everything happens as you dream. You can see the smiles on the people around you when the magic moment strikes. You can feel your face is getting red, your heart is beating fast, and your blood is rushing all over your body, to every single corner of your being!You know all this is real as long as you are confident, passionate and committed! And you are confident, you are passionate, you are committed!You will no longer fear making new sounds, showing new facial expressions, using your body in new ways, approaching new people, and asking new questions.You will live every single day of your life with absolute passion, and you will show your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take.You will focus all your time and effort on the most important goals of your life. You will never succumb to challenges of hardships.You will never waver in your pursuit of excellence.
After all, you are the best, and you deserve the best!As your coach and friend, I can assure you the door to all the best things in the world will open to you, but the key to that door is in your hand. You must do your part. You must faithfully follow the plans you make and take the actions you plan; you must never quit and you must never fear. I know you must do it, you can do it, you will do it, and you will succeed! Now stand firm and tall, make a fist, get excited, and yell it out: I can do it! I will succeed!Then you will succeed.
Thank you very much！
Most of people think we can do anything if we have money.If youhave muchmoney, you are thought to be successful.If you have no money, you willbelooked down upon.
Money can make us live a rich life, but not necessarily a happylife.Sometimes some people do some bad things in order to make money.So theyaren'thappy because they are always afraid.
We should make money and spend it in a reasonable way.
大多数的人认为如果有钱我们能做任何事。如果你有很多钱，人们会认为你事业有成。如果你没有钱，你会被人看不起。
钱能使我们过上富裕的生活，但我们不一定会快乐。有时有些人为了挣钱会做坏事，因为他们总是害怕，所以他们不快乐。
我们应以合理的方式挣钱和消费。
Money is necessary in our life.We will have a rich life when we havemuchmoney.
Most of people think we can do anything if we have money.I don't thinkso.Some people aren't happy though they have much money, because their moneyisobtained by unjust means.They always live a frightened life.Money oftenmakespeople do bad things, even illegal activities.
We must make money and spend it in a reasonable way.We will be happy.
钱是我们生活中必不可少的东西，当我们有许多钱的时候，我们才能过上富足的生活。
大多数认为只要有钱，我们能做任何事。我认为不是这样。一些人虽然有钱但他们不快乐，因为他们的钱是以不正当的方式得来的，他们总是生活在恐惧中。钱经常使人去做坏事，甚至是违法的行为。
我们必须以合理的方式挣钱、消费，这样我们才会快乐。
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.
According to The New Oxford Dictionary of English,frustration,bydefinition,means the feeling of being upset or annoyed,especially because ofinability to change or achieve e frustration seems to be anegative feeling,some people may be tempted to think that frustration is bad believe that constant frustration may cause serious le suffering from such psychological problems often resort toviolence or suicide,which poses a big threat to the people around them and thuscauses instability to the whole society.
Others,however,hold a different maintain that it is beneficial goes side by side with inspires people to overcomehardships and difficulties and achieve the final le with this vieweven go so far as to say that no frustration,no ed,we cannot alwayshope to embrace success and never accept most importantly,only if welearn from many a failure can we do things better and finally overcome such abad feeling as frustration.
Frustration thus is part of our life our process of growingup,we may inevitably experience it when confronted with situations that don’tcome up to our is a test of our courage when it befalls welet it control us,we may fall into the abyss of being inflicted by seriouspsychological if we harness it and take it as our source ofinspiration,we may ultimately enjoy the glory of success.
needless to say， money is not very important， but very veryimportant.
if there is no money， i can’t use this microphone to speak to you andwecan’t have such a room to hold such a competition.without money， we can’tstudyin such a schoolyard.without money， we can’t live in such ahometown.withoutmoney， we can’t have such a motherland.on the other hand， ifthere is no money，you don’t need to bear my speech about money now.
most of us have dreams about the future， dreams of having a good jobandmaking much money.surely someone has thought at times “if only i had a lotofmoney， i could be the happiest person in the world.” in fact it’s themainmistake that people make about money.
however， is money the road to happiness? not really! many people workeveryday， 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 theyhaveany， fall apart.they have no time to form or to maintain friendship.theyevenlose the abilities to relax and to enjoy themselves.enjoying meanstakingthings， taking time to see， to hear， to taste， to smell， to feel.they donottake time to do this.they say: “i’ll do it when i have enough money toretire”then they find that it is too late.why we usually make such a mistakeandeven more mistakes? activists say it is because of money itself.theythinkmoney has changed many things.for example， they think money has changed ourwayto measure someone’s value in the society.they even regard money as thesourceof evil.also， they hate money， but they are wrong， completely wrong.
in my opinion， it is unfair to money.money is a tool.well， there’snodenying that we do something harmful with money.but we can’t say money isthesource of evil.just like a hammer， we can use a hammer to kill someone， butcanwe say a hammer is a devil? it is the same with money.
money is neither good nor bad itself.it is a mirror， a perfect andimportantmirror， and a mirror that reflects both the darkness and thebrilliance ofhumanity.in other words， all depend on us.
so， my fellow students， ladies and gentlemen in the future， ask not whatwecan do for money， ask what money can do for us， ask what money can do toshowthe brilliance of humanity.because， we have the future; we are thefuture.
不用说，钱不是很重要，而是非常非常重要的。
如果没有钱，我无法使用这个麦克风向大家讲，我们不能有这样一个房间召开这样的竞争。没有钱，我们不能在这样的研究校园。没有钱，我们不能生活在这样的故乡。没有钱，我们不能有这样的祖国。另一方面，如果没有钱，你不需要承担我的讲话钱现在。
我们大多数人都对未来的梦想，梦想有一个良好的工作和决策的钱。当然有人认为，有时“如果我有很多钱，我可能是最幸福的人在世界上。”事实上，它的主要错误，人们作出关于金钱。
然而，就是金钱的道路上幸福吗?不是真的!很多人每天上班，加班，工作周末作出了很多钱。他们是幸福吗?第他们太忙着赚钱。与此同时，他们的个人生活，如果他们有任何，四分五裂。他们已经没有时间去形式或保持友谊。他们甚至失去了能力的放松和享受。享受意味着外，抽空看到，听到，品尝，嗅觉，感觉。他们并不需要时间来做到这一点。他们说：“我会做到这一点，我有足够的钱退休”，然后他们发现为时已晚。为什么我们通常会提出这样的错误，甚至更多的错误?活动人士说，这是因为金钱本身。他们认为，金钱改变了很多东西。例如，他们认为金钱改变了我们的方法来衡量人的价值在社会中。他们甚至把钱的来源邪恶。此外，他们憎恨金钱，但他们是错误的，完全错误的。
在我看来，这是不公平的钱。金钱是一种工具。嗯，有无可否认，我们做一些有害的金钱。但是，我们不能说，钱是罪恶的根源。就像一把锤子，我们可以用锤子杀死某人，但我们可以说锤子是魔鬼?这是同样的钱。
钱是既不好也不坏本身。它是一面镜子，是一个完美的和重要的一面镜子，一面镜子，映照出的黑暗和人性的光辉。换句话说，所有依赖于我们。
所以，我的同学，各位嘉宾，各位在未来，不要问我们能做些什么的钱，什么钱可以为我们做，什么钱可以显示人性的光辉。因为，我们的未来，我们是世界的未来。
good morning/evening/afternoon, ladies and gentlemen :
today, my speech is about talents,in my opionion, talents are indispensable in nowadays society. as is known to all that the fight among countries is actually the fight among talents.
first, i'd like to define the word
country from invasion, talents in commerce help make our economy kee
in improving, talents in aerospace make the world see chinese manned spacecraft flying. talents in sports make china rank the first in the olympic games......
to sum up, talents will play a more and more impoetant role in the world, if one country intends to flourish, he must foster talents as many as they can ,that's all,thank you.
Let me begin my speech with a replay of scenes familiar to most, if not all, of those present here today. “Mum, I'm sorry, but I need 3,000 yuan for my tuition this year.”
“Mum, it is my friend's birthday tomorrow, I must buy her a present.”
“Mum, this jacket was out of fashion long ago, would you do me a favor? ”
Take. Take. Take. The relationship between a mother and a child always seems to follow such a pattern. I know my mother is always there for me, providing me with everything I need; from food to clothing, from tuition to pocket money. I never thought twice about all she did until one day she said, “Will there be a time that you'll say you have taken enough from me? ”
Like a child endlessly asking, we humans, throughout history, have been continually demanding what we desire from nature. We enjoy the comfort and beauty of our furniture, yet we never bother to think about the serious soil erosion caused by deforestation. We take it for granted that we must warm ourselves in winter times, yet we seldom realize the burning away of precious natural resources. We appreciate all the prosperity from the development of modern industry, yet few would give the slightest consideration to the global air and water pollution caused by industrial wastes. Our ruthless exploitation has permanently impaired our mother earth. As we tragically learned from last summer's floods. we cannot continue our carelessness.
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, teachers and my fellowfriends.Thetitle of the speech that i‘m going to talk about is on money andhealth.Now asyou see, we have a society where people just concentrate on earningmoney to payoff their mortgage, credit cards, holiday expanses etc, most of themfail tonotice the gradual decline in their health.To them money is much muchmoreimportant than health.As it says, " money is the root of all evil." Iagreewith it.Therefore, it is now time for us to watch out for our healthandtreasure our body! Thank you!
早上好各位来宾，老师，各位朋友。讲话的标题，我要谈论金钱和健康。现在你看，我们有一个社会，人们只集中在以赚钱偿还房屋按揭贷款，信用卡，节假日等大片，其中大部分没有注意他们的健康逐渐下降。对于他们的钱远远比健康更为重要。它说：“金钱是万恶之源。”我同意了。因此，现在是时候了，我们看我们的健康和珍惜自己的身体了!谢谢您!

Environmental problems are becoming more and more serious all over the world. For example, cars have made the air unhealthy for people to breathe and poisonous gas is given off by factories. Trees on the hills have been cut down and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers. Furthermore, wherever we go today, we can find rubbish carelessly disposed. Pollution is, in fact, threatening our existence.
The earth is our home and we have the duty to take care of it for ourselves and for our later generations. Fortunately, more and more people have realized these problems. Measures have been taken to cope with these problems by the government. Laws have been passed to stop pollution. I hope the problem will be solved in the near future and our home will become better and better.
全世界的环境问题变得越来越严重。例如汽车污染的空气影响了人们的呼吸，工厂释放污染的气体，山上的树木被砍伐，污水不断被排人河里。另外，无论我们走到哪里，到处可见随意丢弃的垃圾。事实上，污染正威胁我们的生存。
地球是我们的家园，我们有责任为我们自己和我们的后代去照顾好它。庆幸的是，愈来愈多的人们已经意识到这些问题。政府已经采取了很多措施去解决这些问题，法律已被通过以制止污染。我希望这些问题在不远的将来能得到解决，我们的家园变得越来越好。
In the early nineteenth century, people began to use gas (gaslight), butthe gas pipeline supply by a leak or blockage, very easy to have an accident,people for illumination of reform, very ardent.In fact, Edison for himself setthe mission impossible: in addition to improve lighting, but also of ThomasEdison electric light Create a set of power supply system.And he and the dreamLuoYuan buddies, sleepless do 1600 repeatedly heat-resistant material and morethan 600 plant fiber experiment, only produced the first carbon wire bulb, can aburning 45 hours.Later he more on this basis, the method of continuousimprovement manufacture can ignite 12 hours finally came out with the ZhuSibulbs.The 19th century the 1980s, Edison electric light career succeeded, thissuccess than any previous achievements brought him reputation.In the 1980s,before he had little mistake, intermediate later, although he has made greatachievements, but also common occurance of failure.Edison's most not commendableactions is one of his criticism alternating current, say it has side effects,likely cause of death and injury, but he did not add details.So somebody said,"as he such a mess out many inventions that people about others' new inventionsaurday attack, this is very contradictory things." He opposes the use ofalternating current and direct current, so the approve a fierce debate andstubborn in failure.In this respect, reflects the Edison became a celebrityafter the stubbornness of started to foster old-fashioned shortcomings.
Schoolmates:
When you look the lovable animated cartoon, plays is in a stew human’s computer games, rides the fast train, is answering transoceanic telephone time, ……Not only your might once realize the science the strength, the science changed this world, also changed our life, the science side us.
Opens for the 20th century the grand chapters, not only we discovered the humanity to experience the blood and the fire baptism in these hundred years, has created the innumerable scientific miracles. 19th century France famous science fiction writer of fiction verne fictionalizing, at that time let the human be inconceivable, he fantasized moon landing travel, the airplane, the long-range gun and so on, all 11 became the reality in the 20th century. In the 21st century today, the high tech is ubiquitous.
As cross-century one generation, how posture should we adapt the new century by, the load get up the new century heavy burden? Not only science and technology changing with each new day, causes the science to serve for the most advanced technique, also more and more many seeps to during ours daily life, this needs us who is in the young people time to deeply love the science, the study science. Participation science and technology “five small” competition, reading science and technology books, caused me to understand many truths. The precise robot, does not use the fuel the automobile, the hypothesized soccer game, high tech information transmission and so on, each one vivid interesting phenomena, aroused me to explore the science the desire.
Our each people all want to study the science, the dissemination civilization, while enjoys the new life, must create the new life, now, the technical product renewal speeds up unceasingly, the visible television, the computer surfer, the pacemaker, already did not calculate was fresh. Vacuum cleaner invented which from 1901, to the artificial earth satellite, carried the human spaceship, the science and technology demonstrates the formidable strength in the different domain. Electronic industry, communication technology daily popularization, nanotechnology, superconductivity material widespread application, soon one day, perhaps in yours dinner table, can appear likely bio-engineering foods and so on outer space green pepper, man-made beefsteak. Studies the science and technology, is not merely in order to become the scientist, also is for can adapt the life, more has been able to become the new century the master, the load gets up the new century, is the national construction, makes the contribution for the human culture.
Since new China had been established, our country’s technical development progresses by leaps and bounds, the synthesized insulin, finishes a job plants, the hybrid rice again, explodes atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb, launch satellite and airship and so on, these technical achievement which focuses attention on the common people, reduced our country and the advanced countries science and technology disparity greatly, has poured into the vigor for our country’s modernization. Grandpa Deng Xiaoping said “the science and technology is the first productive forces”, indeed so, the science has ed the wing for our motherland soaring. Chairman once said to the youth that, the world was you, also is we, but is your in the final analysis. This speech, has been full of the elders to our earnest expectation. If the elders have constructed the 20th century motherlands with the industrious work, that, we should by the knowledge, get up the new century heavy burden by the scientific load.
Schoolmates, we are being at the growth developmental stage, the study science, lets us start since childhood. We must learn each kind of literacy class diligently, because this is all study foundation; At the same time, to each kind the popular science books, the publication which suits our elementary student to look, should better read some in the after school; Also should begin to do each science small experiment, the small manufacture positively, writes the science small paper and so on, raises to the science interest. Long this gets down, we can certainly deeply love the science, has the rich scientific knowledge. Humanity’s wisdom is infinite, regardless of is US’s Challenger number detonation, the whole world computer virus’ promotion, always all cannot prevent humanity’s advance in technology. “The knowledge is the strength”, Bacon this sentence enjoys great popularity the maxim did not know had driven how many earnestly seeks the knowledge human. Now, lets us also use it to encourage oneself, makes one to deeply love the science the new generation, the load gets up the new century heavy responsibility, for our motherland tomorrow, will compose a more magnificent poem!
A we know, mot of the thing in our life have to be bought withmoney.Butmoney i not the only in the world.Money can not buy many thing uch atime andtrue love.
There are 24 hour in a day.When we are happy, we hope the timewouldlonger.But no matter what we do, or how much money we pend.We cannot makeaday lat 25 hour.Another thing money cannot buy i true love.Money can buy ulargehoue, beautiful clothe, but can’t buy time and love.
正如我们所知，生活中大部分事情都需要金钱。但是金钱不是唯一的，很多东西金钱买不到，比如时间和真爱。
一天有24小时，当我们快乐时，我们希望时间会可以更长。但是无论我们怎么做，花多少钱，都不可能让一天有25个小时。另外金钱买不到的是真爱，金钱可以买到大房子，漂亮的衣服，但买不到时间和真爱。
I read the book "good family style in the new era", and I know a lot of stories about family style, family rules and family instructions. For example, Huang yezhen treats people with kindness, Pang Fuying inherits his family with filial piety, Zeng Zi kills pigs for honesty All of these have set a very good example for us, and the good name will be handed down forever.
Although I dont know what the family style is, my parents make me understand a lot with their actions.
Once, the Chinese teacher asked to buy a collection book to take notes in class. In the supermarket, my mother told me to buy a hard shell one, so its not easy to break it when I put it in the bag. I look around, I look around, my eyes flash, and I see a beautiful and exquisite book with a beautiful shell. I said happily to my mother, "I want this, mom?" Mother looked at the price and frowned and said, "this is so expensive. Please take this." I read my mothers notebook. Its so ugly. There are square squares everywhere. The color is either grey green or grey. Its ugly. "I dont want this. Its ugly." I am very unhappy to say. "We dont have to be good-looking when we buy books. We need to be practical. We need to save money." After listening to my mother, I bought this book reluctantly.
It turns out that my family style is thrifty. I hope that my family style can be passed down from generation to generation. Family style is a positive energy. We should be strict with ourselves all the time and carry forward the national spirit from each family.
Of all the fruits, I like apples best. First it is very beautiful. It is red and round. You can’t help eating it when you see it. Second, it is very sweet. It is really a kind of enjoyment when you taste it. Third, it is said that apples are very good for our health. There is a saying: “One apple a day, keeps a doctor away.” It means that if you have one apple every day, you won’t get any disease. The apple is not only an ordinary kind of fruit, it can also keep you away from disease, so there is no reason to refuse it. Try it and enjoy it!

As is shown in the graph, China's food distribution has taken great changes from 1960's to 1990's According to this statistics of cereals, vegetable, meat, and fruits, the number of those who eat rice, flour or vegetable has greatly decreased in the past four decades.
In contrast of this the number of those who eat oil or meat has sharply increased.
From such dietary changes, we can perceive the rapid improvement of our people' s living standard.
Why does this improvement occur? The direct reason is the fact that the Chinese people have attached much importance to their health care.
Nationally, China's economic growth is booming, and more people are getting richer.
Individually, everyone's consumption of food is increasingly varied.
In particular, most of people are reluctant to eat much vegetable, but much meat and oil in their diets.
Here are some things you need to know about table manners when you visit Japan.
First of all,you shou In my view, the changes of China's dietary distribution seem to be both positive and negative.
The positive aspect is that China' s economical growth has given rise to the higher level of dietary standard, with most of people living rich and happy.
But the negative aspect is that, I'm afraid, less eating vegetable will lead to poorer health, such as lacking vitamin nutrients in one's body.
Therefore, we think it necessary for the Chinese to be aware of the balanced diets: Lots of vegetable and meat, which may gain us healthier bodies in the new
If you're middle-aged and your memory's not what it used to be, check thebathroom scale, researchers warned, suggesting overweight people tend to scoremore poorly on tests of memory than their thinner peers do.
The findings suggest that a heavier weight in middle age may mean a higherrisk of dementia later in life.
Reporting in the journal Neurology, the researchers speculated that higherrates of cardiovascular disease or diabetes might help explain the link. Butit's also possible that substances produced by fat cells, such as the hormoneleptin, have direct effects on the brain.
The study compared mental abilities to body mass index (BMI), a
measurement of weight in relation to height used to define overweight andobesity. A BMI of 25 or more indicates overweight, and 30 or more is obese.
The study also investigated the relationships between BMI and cognitivefunction in 2,223 healthy men and women between the ages of 32 and 62 in Francethrough the use of four cognitive tests.
The study found a higher BMI was associated with lower cognitive test scores.Results from a test involving word memory recall show people with a BMI of 20remembered an average of nine out of 16 words, while people with a BMI of 30remembered an average of seven out of 16 words.
Stepping into the new century environment pollution has become more serious than ever since. There are different kinds of pollution. Such as water pollution air pollution and noise pollution and so on. It seems that we live on a planet which is full of pollution. where all these pollution comes from? To a large extend the environmental destruction is the heavy price that we pay for the rapid development of economy and the growing population. In order to have more fuel people cut down trees and dig more corals. But the growing needs for energy are hardly to meet. Countless private cars on the street the gas stations are short of gasoline even the government has raise the price so many times in order to control the needs of gasoline but it’s still not working. Overusing the natural resources has already affected the ecological balance. However the factories still release the toxic air into the sky and the polluted water into the rivers. People still lack of the conscious of protecting the environment. I think it’s time for all of us to do something.

Most Chinese students have difficulties in learning English. The difficulties vary so much from person to person that it is difficult to cite here in a few words. Some may have problems in reading. Others may have trouble in writing. I also had problems in English learning, but my difficulty seemed to lie in listening. For example, when tested for listening comprehension, I couldn't understand a single sentence, let alone a passage of medium level.
In order to overcome the difficulty in my English learning, I made great efforts to find the key to the problem. I consulted my teacher and found out that I merely didn't have enough time to practice listening. So I bought a tape recorder and listened to it at least two hours a day. In addition, I listened to "Special English" on VOA. I also went out of my way to speak to foreigners on the campus whenever we meet so that I could have the chance to listen to the native speakers. After half a year's hard work, I could get 70% of the questions correct in listening comprehension tests.
I own my success to my English teacher. It is him who tells me the correct way to learn English. It is him who always encourages me when I encounter difficulties and feel disappointed.
In this picture, a mother bird stays in her nest in a big three, watching herbabies flying away. I think she must be very proud of her children,who are ableto find their own food now. But she may also feel a sense of loss since they nolonger need her day-to-day care as they used to. This picture shows very wellthe mixed feelings of parents when watching their children grow up. For myparents, things will be much easier. We will set up our family blog to post ourphotos,journals and audios. Once I leave for college, we can conveniently shareour experiences and support each other no matter where we are. Their nest willnever beempty.译文：在这幅画中,母鸟呆在鸟巢三大,看着她婴儿飞走。我认为她必须为她的孩子们感到骄傲,他们现在能够找到自己的食物。但她也感到失落,因为他们不再需要像以前她的日常保健。这张照片显示的复杂的感情很好父母看着自己的孩子长大后。对于我的'父母,生活将会更加容易。我们将建立我们的家庭博客发布照片、日记和音频。一旦我离开大学,我们可以方便地分享我们的经验和相互支持,无论我们在哪里。他们的巢永远是空的。
Welcome to t, let me show a short video to you.
The First team I will talk about is Houston this team,there are two MAP is T-Mac,the other one is Yao e are Bonzi Wells,Steve Francis,Mike James,Shane Battier and Rafer Alston also.I think it’s powerful enough.
Some experts even claim that they could win 60 in fact,they have lost 7 games.I think maybe they can’t win the games as many as the experts said,but they must be a strong power in the western this season if the stars specially Tracy and Yao could keep health.
The second team is Dallas season,they won more than 60 games,but they were washed out in the this team became the second team which won 60 or more games but lost the champion.
This season,most of the players there are in their golden age and I think they own the ability to create everything what even out of everyone’s expectation.
the human beings are stepping into the information society. the information industry develops very rapidly, so do the hackers, trick-playing teens, exploring children, fraudsters, and serious white-collar criminals. thus, information security becomes an impending important issue.
人类步入信息社会。信息产业的发展非常迅速，黑客，特技播放的青少年，探索儿童，骗子，和严重的白领罪犯也是一样。因此，信息安全成为一个迫在眉睫的重要问题。
in case of information breach, the victims-government department, an organization or an institution, or a company will inevitably suffer great or small loss. government may be threatened with national security. companies may lose opportunities to develop new projects. and the public’s and users’ confidence will be damaged.
一旦信息被打破，受害者——政府部门，组织或机构，或大或小的公司将不可避免地遭受损失。政府可能会威胁到国家安全。公司可能会失去开发新项目的机会。与公众和用户的信心将被损坏。
then how to deal with this issue? technology is only a partial solution to information security. what’s more important is that organizations and companies should promote the awareness on information security to its staff. however, since no system can ever be 100 percent secure, a prevention-only approach to information security management is not enough. companies and organizations should adopt a dual approach to information security management by combing prevention and detection techniques
那么如何处理这个问题?技术只是解决信息安全的一部分。更重要的是组织和公司应促进其工作人员的信息安全意识。然而，由于没有系统能百分之百的安全，只有一个保护信息安全管理的方法是不够的。公司和组织应该通过预防和检测技术相结合采取一个信息安全管理的二元的方法。
When you are a kid, you get asked this one particular question a lot, it really gets kind of annoying. What do you want to be when you grow up? Now, adults are hoping for answers like, I want to be an astronaut or I want to be a neurosurgeon, you’re adults in your imaginations.
Kids, they’re most likely to answer with pro-skateboarder, surfer or minecraft player. I asked my little brother, and he said, seriously dude, I’m 10, I have no idea, probably a pro-skier, let’s go get some ice cream.
See, us kids are going to answer something we’re stoked on, what we think is cool, what we have experience with, and that’s typically the opposite of what adults want to hear.
But if you ask a little kid, sometimes you’ll get the best answer, something so simple, so obvious and really profound. When I grow up, I want to be happy.
For me, when I grow up, I want to continue to be happy like I am now. I’m stoked to be here at TedEx, I mean, I’ve been watching Ted videos for as long as I can remember, but I never thought I’d make it on the stage here so soon. I mean, I just became a teenager, and like most teenage boys, I spend most of my time wondering, how did my room get so messy all on its own.
Did I take a shower today? And the most perplexing of all, how do I get girls to like me? Neurosciences say that the teenage brain is pretty weird, our prefrontal cortex is underdeveloped, but we actually have more neurons than adults, which is why we can be so creative, and impulsive and moody and get bummed out.
But what bums me out is to know that, a lot of kids today are just wishing to be happy, to be healthy, to be safe, not bullied, and be loved for who they are. So it seems to me when adults say, what do you want to be when you grow up? They just assume that you’ll automatically be happy and healthy.
Well, maybe that’s not the case, go to school, go to college, get a job, get married, boom, then you’ll be happy, right? You don’t seem to make learning how to be happy and healthy a priority in our schools, it’s separate from schools. And for some kids, it doesn’t exists at all? But what if we didn’t make it separate? What if we based education on the study and practice of being happy and healthy, because that’s what it is, a practice, and a simple practice at that?
Education is important, but why is being happy and healthy not considered education, I just don’t get it. So I’ve been studying the science of being happy and healthy. It really comes down to practicing these eight things. Exercise, diet and nutrition, time in nature, contribution, service to others, relationships, recreation, relaxation and stress management, and religious or spiritual involvement, yes, got that one.
So these eight things come from Dr. Roger Walsh, he calls them Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes or TLCs for short. He is a scientist that studies how to be happy and healthy. In researching this talk, I got a chance to ask him a few questions like; do you think that our schools today are making these eight TLCs a priority? His response was no surprise, it was essentially no. But he did say that many people do try to get this kind of education outside of the traditional arena, through reading and practices such as meditation or yoga.
But what I thought was his best response was that, much of education is oriented for better or worse towards making a living rather than making a life.
In 20__, Sir Ken Robinson gave the most popular Ted talk of all time. Schools kill creativity. His message is that creativity is as important as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status.
A lot of parents watched those videos, some of those parents like mine counted it as one of the reasons they felt confident to pull their kids from traditional school to try something different. I realized I’m part of this small, but growing revolution of kids who are going about their education differently, and you know what? It freaks a lot of people out.
Even though I was only nine, when my parents pulled me out of the school system, I can still remember my mom being in tears when some of her friends told her she was crazy and it was a stupid idea.
Looking back, I’m thankful she didn’t cave to peer pressure, and I think she is too. So, out of the 200 million people that have watched Sir Ken Robinson’s talk, why aren’t there more kids like me out there?
Shane McConkey is my hero. I loved him because he was the world’s best skier. But then, one day I realized what I really loved about Shane, he was a hacker. Not a computer hacker, he hacked skiing. His creativity and inventions made skiing what it is today, and why I love to ski. A lot of people think of hackers as geeky computer nerds who live in their parent’s basement and spread computer viruses, but I don’t see it that way.
I'm a lifelong traveler. Even as a little kid, I was actually working out that it would be cheaper to go to boarding school in England than just to the best school down the road from my parents' house in California.
我这辈子都是个旅行者。 即使还是一个小孩子的时候， 我便了解，事实上， 去读英国寄宿学校会比 去加州父母家附近 最好的学校就读还来得便宜。
So, from the time I was nine years old I was flying alone several times a year over the North Pole, just to go to school. And of course the more I flew the more I came to love to fly, so the very week after I graduated from high school, I got a job mopping tables so that I could spend every season of my 18th year on a different continent.
所以，当我 9 岁时， 我在一年中，会独自飞行几回， 穿越北极，就只是去上学。 当然，飞得越频繁， 我越是爱上旅行， 所以就在我高中毕业后一周， 我找到一份清理桌子的工作， 为了让自己可以在 18 岁那年， 在地球不同的大陆上， 分别待上一季。
And then, almost inevitably, I became a travel writer so my job and my joy could become one.
接着，几乎不可避免地 我成了一个旅游作家， 使我的工作和志趣 可以结合在一块儿。
And I really began to feel that if you were lucky enough to walk around the candlelit temples of Tibet or to wander along the seafronts in Havana with music passing all around you, you could bring those sounds and the high cobalt skies and the flash of the blue ocean back to your friends at home, and really bring some magic and clarity to your own life.
我真的开始发觉 如果你可以幸运地 漫步于西藏的烛光寺庙， 或者在音乐的缭绕间 悠然信步于哈瓦那海岸， 你便能将那声音、天际 与靛蓝海洋的闪烁光芒 带给你家乡的朋友， 真确地捎来些许神奇， 点亮自身生命。
Except, as you all know, one of the first things you learn when you travel is that nowhere is magical unless you can bring the right eyes to it.
除了，如你们所知， 当旅行时，你学到的第一件事情是 你必须以正确的视角看世界， 否则大地依然黯淡无光。
You take an angry man to the Himalayas, he just starts complaining about the food. And I found that the best way that I could develop more attentive and more appreciative eyes was, oddly, by going nowhere, just by sitting still.
你带一个易怒的男人爬喜马拉雅山， 他只会抱怨那儿的食物。 我发现，有点怪异的是， 最好的让自己可以培养 更专注和更珍惜世界的视角的诀窍是 哪儿都不去，静止于原处即可。
And of course sitting still is how many of us get what we most crave and need in our accelerated lives, a break. But it was also the only way that I could find to sift through the slideshow of my experience and make sense of the future and the past.
当然呆在原地正是我们许多人 寻常所得到的东西， 我们都渴望在快速的生活中获得休息。 但那却是我唯一的方法， 让自己可以重历自身的经验幻灯， 理解未来与过去。
And so, to my great surprise, I found that going nowhere was at least as exciting as going to Tibet or to Cuba.
如此，我惊异地发现， 我发现无所去处 和游览西藏或古巴一样，令人兴奋。
And by going nowhere, I mean nothing more intimidating than taking a few minutes out of every day or a few days out of every season, or even, as some people do, a few years out of a life in order to sit still long enough to find out what moves you most, to recall where your truest happiness lies and to remember that sometimes making a living and making a life point in opposite directions.
无所去处，只不过意谓着 每天花几分钟， 或每季花几天， 甚至，如同有些人所做的， 在生命中花上几年 长久地静思于某处， 寻找感动你最多的一瞬， 回忆你最真实的幸福时刻， 同时记住， 有时候，谋生与生活 彼此是处于光谱线上的两端的。
And of course, this is what wise beings through the centuries from every tradition have been telling us.
当然，这是明智的众生历经几百年 从每个传统中所告诉我们的。
It's an old idea. More than 2,000 years ago, the Stoics were reminding us it's not our experience that makes our lives, it's what we do with it.
这是一个古老的概念。 早在两千多年前， 斯多葛学派提醒我们 并不是我们的经验 成就了我们的生命， 而是我们用那经验做了什么。
Imagine a hurricane suddenly sweeps through your town and reduces every last thing to rubble. One man is traumatized for life.
想象一下，一阵飓风 迅速扑向你的城市， 将所有一切化为废墟。 某个人身心遭受终身顿挫
But another, maybe even his brother, almost feels liberated, and decides this is a great chance to start his life anew. It's exactly the same event, but radically different responses. There is nothing either good or bad, as Shakespeare told us in "Hamlet," but thinking makes it so.
但另一个人，也许甚至是他的兄弟， 却几乎感觉释怀， 并认定，这是一个可以 使自己重获新生的重要机会。 这是同样的事件， 截然不同的回应。 没有什么是绝对的好坏， 正如莎士比亚 在《哈姆雷特》中所告诉我们的， 好坏由思维决定。
