Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen.It is my honor to be here to present my speech to you about the role of humanism in today's technologically advanced world.
What's the role of humanism today?At the first sight of this topic,I felt that I had a vision of walking along a dark passage to our destination,an ideal harmonious society.Humanism,is a lighthouse on this way to guide us in case we are getting lost,together with modern technology,we are well on our way toward our destination.
Like other young men,I love the internet.To be honest,I could not imagine a life without internet,which is a blessing taken by high technology.To some extent,it represents the whole world to me.I have registered some accounts on MySpace,Facebook,Twitter,Renren,Weibo and so forth.It's really amazing because these network technologies make it possible for people all over the world to communicate with each other freely and conveniently.
However,there are two sides to the argument,so what of the internet.While it could lighten our life,it could also turn into evil.It started with some of these arguments—well,it is argument at first—then the situation seems out of control:people start to curse and scold each other just because they have different opinions.People became more and more aggressive,seditious,and insulting,and later on,with the "Human-flesh searching" involved,the situation gets even worse.Those are what we called "Network of violence",they are still happening,and still going on.
It seems like that the internet frees us from the burden of our public identities so we should be our true,authentic selves online,except it turns out—who wouldn't see that coming—that our true,authentic selves aren't that fantastic.
The reason we define ourselves as human is because we have some natural instincts to care for and respect other people.In other words,we are pursuing the universal brotherhood,a peaceful world of free minds.It is humanism that keeps our society moving on and on.
As one of the most important inventions in our time,internet has changed the way of our life tremendously.It has changed the way we express and communicate with each other.It has made it possible for us to meet each other without distance; it has made it easier for us to know and to comprehend each other.
However not only some changes has it brought,but also brought on some has anarchy in its DNA,It's always been about anonymity,playing with your own identity and messing with other people's heads.It is a challenge,it challenges our self-discipline that we are proud of,it challenges our humanity that we are proud of.Sure technology promises us more freedom but it doesn't mean that we should leave our civilization behind.
That's why we need a guideline to light up our path,to lead us.In this technologically advanced world,what we need to do is to avoid the misuse of technology,but to take it as an accelerator,a lube or a navigator on our high way to create a better world,a harmonious society.
So don't ever forget our aspiration,and always have faith in humanism,and we are going to make it happen,in this technologically advanced world! Yes! We can!
Thank you,ladies and gentlemen.
Museums should be made my eyes, museums of course should be made free.
We know that, as a part of culture, museums restore many culture relics. These are typical symbols for a certain times. As a citizen of our country, it is necessary and natural to learn our past history. Recent years, more and more museums are open free to the public. I couldn't agree more with it. Free museum will greatly motivate all kinds of people to approach. What's more, in this fast developing age, museums have many new and advanced invents inside. It will be a wonderful place for people who want to learn more. Parents can often take their children to museums to learn about history and some technical knowledge. In a word, I think government should try to make more museums free for citizens.
The cheongsam is a female dress with distinctive Chinese features and enjoys a growing popularity in the international world of high fashion.
The name "cheongsam," meaning simply "long dress," entered the English vocabulary from the dialect of China's Guangdong Province (Cantonese). In other parts of the country including Beijing, however, it is known as "qipao", which has a history behind it.
When the early Manchu rulers came to China proper, they organized certain people, mainly Manchus, into "banners" (qi) and called them "banner people" (qiren), which then became loosely the name of all Manchus. The Manchu women wore normally a one-piece dress which, likewise, came to be called "qipao" or "banner dress." Although the 1911 Revolution toppled the rule of the Qing (Manchu) Dynasty, the female dress survived the political change and, with later improvements, has become the traditional dress for Chinese women.
Easy to slip on and comfortable to wear, the cheongsam fits well the female Chinese figure. Its neck is high, collar closed, and its sleeves may be either short, medium or full length, depending on season and taste. The dress is buttoned on the right side, with a loose chest, a fitting waist, and slits up from the sides, all of which combine to set off the beauty of the female shape.
The cheongsam is not too complicated to make. Nor does it call for too much material, for there are no accessories like belts, scarves, sashes or frills to go with it.
Another beauty of the cheongsam is that, made of different materials and to varying lengths, they can be worn either on casual or formal occasions. In either case, it creates an impression of simple and quiet charm, elegance and neatness. No wonder it is so much liked by women not only of China but of foreign countries as well.
译文：
旗袍是具有中国特色的女性服饰，在国际高级时装世界日益普及。
名为“旗袍”的意思是“长礼服，从中国的广东省方言进入英语词汇(粤语)。然而在全国包括北京在内的其他地区，它被称为“旗袍”，其背后的历史。
当早期满族统治者来到中国市区，他们组织了一些人，主要是满族人，为“旗帜”(齐)，称他们为“旗人”(旗人)，然后所有满洲人的名字。满族妇女通常穿的连衣裙，同样地，来到被称为“旗袍”或“旗帜的衣服。”虽然1911革命*了清朝的统治(满族)王朝，女性服饰幸存下来的政治变革，后来的改进，已成为中国妇女的传统服饰。
易滑，穿着舒适，旗袍很适合中国的女性形象。它的脖子很高，衣领关闭，它的袖子可能是短，中等或全长，取决于季节和味道。衣服的纽扣在右边，一个松散的胸部，一个合适的腰，和缝了从边上，所有这一切都将掀起女性形状的美。
旗袍是不太复杂的制作。也不需要太多的物质，因为没有配件如皮带、围巾、腰带或装饰用它去。
另一个美丽的旗袍，用不同的材料和不同的长度，他们可以穿上休闲或正式场合。在任何情况下，它创建简单和安静的魅力印象，优雅和整洁。难怪有这么多喜欢的妇女不仅是中国，但外国的。

Good afternoon ！ Ladies and gentlemen：
I am very glad to make a speech here in this class ！ This time ， I＇d like to talk something about English . My topic is I Love English.
As everyone knows， English is very important today.It has been use everywhere in the world . It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade.

When I was seven ， I went to Chuxiong Experimental Primary school . At here ， I played games and sang English songs with othe friends . Then I discovered the beauty of the language ， and began my colorful dream in the English world.

Someone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of abook, whose pages are infinite”. I don’t know who wrote these words, but I’vealways liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it tobe. We are all in the position of the farmers. If we plant a good seed ,we reapa good harvest. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.
We are young. “How to spend the youth?” It is a meaningful question. Toanswer it, first I have to ask “what do you understand by the word youth?” Youthis not a time of life, it’s a state of mind. It’s not a matter of rosy cheeks,red lips or supple knees. It’s the matter of the will. It’s the freshneof thedeep spring of life.
A poet said “To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wildflower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. Severaldays ago, I had a chance to listen to a lecture. I learnt a lot there. I’d liketo share it with all of you. Let’s show our right palms. We can see three linesthat show how our love.career and life is. I have a short line of life.
What about yours? I wondered whether we could see our future in this way.Well, let’s make a fist. Where is our future?
Where is our love, career, and life? Tell me.Yeah, it is in our hands. Itis held in ourselves.
We all want the future to be better than the past. But the future can gobetter itself. Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened. From thepast, we’ve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher. We’ve learnt thatwe can’t choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it. Failure doesn’tmean you don’t have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way.Failure doesn’t mean you should give up, it does mean you must try harder.
As what I said at the beginning, “we are reading the first verse of thefirst chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. The past has gone. Nothingwe do will change it. But the future is in front of us. Believe that what wegive to the world, the world will give to us. And from today on, let’s be theowners of ourselves, and speak out “We are the world, we are the future.”
一些人说“我们正在读一本无穷的书中的第一章的第一节。”我不知道谁写了这些话，但是我一直很喜欢它，因为它提醒了
我，我们能够创造我们想要的未来。
我们都是农夫。如果我们播下好的种子，我们将会丰收。如果我们的种子很差，有很多草籽，收割的将是无用的庄稼。如果我们什么也不播种，什么收获也没有。
我们是年轻的。“怎样度过青春?”这是个有意义的问题。为了去回答它，我首先要问“从‘青春’这个词中你能理解到什么?”青春不是人生的一个时期，而是精神的一种状态。青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，。青春是生命的深泉在涌流.
一位诗人说“从一粒沙看世界，从一朵花看天堂，把无限放在你的手掌，永恒在一刹那里收藏”。几天前，我有了一个听讲座的机会，从中我学到了很多东西。现在，我想把这些与大家共享。让我们伸出右手，我们可以看到手掌中的展示我们的爱，事业和生活的三条线。我在生活方面这条线很短，那你们的呢?我想知道我们是否可以用这种办法去看我们的未来。好的，让我们一起握拳。我们的未来在哪儿?我们的爱、事业和生活在哪儿?告诉我!是的，它们就在我们的手中。它们被我们自己掌握着。
我们所有人都希望未来能比过去更美好，但是未来能自己变得更好。不要因为结束而哭泣，微笑吧，为你的曾经拥有。从过去来看，生活是艰苦的，但我们是更坚强。我们知道我们不能选择感觉，但是我们能选择和它相关的东西。失败并不意味着你不拥有成功，它只意味着你应该用另一种方式去做这件事。失败并不意味着你应该放弃，只意味着你应该更加努力。
正如我在前面所说的“我们正在读一本无穷的书中的第一章的第一节。”过去的已经过去，无论我们无力改变，但是未来却在我们前方。相信“我们给了世界什么，世界也将给我们”。并且从今天起，让我们一起做我们自己的主人，一起大声说出“世界是我们的，未来是我们的。”
good morning teachers and fellow students. today we would like to introduce a few favorite books to you.
my favorite book is (italian: cuore). this is a diary written by an italian boy enrico. the diary is about his life and study. it included various touching stories that happened around enrico, the mottos taught by his parents, as well as the wonderful ten "monthly" stories told by his teacher during the class. every word in the chapter describes the word "love". from patriotism to friendship, and to the love between parents and child -- really touching.
this novel taught me how to love, and how to learn from love. i really like this book very much. how about you? what is your favorite book?
my favorite book is . have you read it before?
oh, i haven’t read this book before. what is it about?
well, it is a story of a rich girl who maintained her noble character after the bankruptcy of her father. the story is happy ending.
can you tell us why you love this book so much?
sure. it is because the story taught us to be brave and to face the challenges and difficulties with courage. i am deeply impressed by the strength and perseverance of the little princein the story. i have decided to learn from her from now on.
oh i see, the story sounds very good. i cannot wait to read this book as well.
I like to eat fruit because almost all fruits are tasty and good for your body.I like sweet fruits better than sour fruits.My favourite fruit is hami melon I think it is the sweetest fruit in the world.
I love hami melons.They're sweeter than candy and they smell really good.I hate lemons because no fruit in the world is sourer than it.Sometimes I like to eat some grapes,too.But be carefull,sometimes they can be as sweet as hami melons and sometimes they can be as sour as lemons.
My mammy and daddy like to eat sour fruits and my little brother likes to eat sweet fruits just like me.Fruit is the most delicious thing in the world.Fruit,I love you.
as we know, you have to learn how to fly much more independently instead of under your parents’ considerate protection when you get into college, which also means you will come across enormous questions that should be solved by yourself. from my point of view, those main problems can fall into three parts.
first of all, the complicated relationship. for one thing, you have to know how cultural differences function in your relationship and respect them. in addition, college students spend less time studying together owing to different courses’ choosing, which requires us to devote more energy to building relationship. for the other thing, it is also vital to communicate with your parents often by using mobile phones or other tools.
secondly, the temptations. the college serves us a more relaxed environment mixed with other temptations such as the internet, alcohols and so on. what’s more, the college teachers won’t compel you to study like before, you doze off or play cell phone in class, and you flee up the morning class because you get up too late. such too frequent behaviors will cripple your passion and enthusiasm towards life, so it is essential for us to resist these temptations and insist pursuing our own goals.
thirdly, the balance between study and work. most of us will choose to take a part time job to earn the extra money or just to exercise ourselves. but it is significant to keep a relatively balanced relationship between them since i always regard the study as our main task, so my principle is adjusting work to follow the schedule of study.
in conclusion, whatever issues we meet or miseries we suffer from, confront the hash reality head on, what we can do is remembering the past, living in the present and looking forward to the future.
Everyone has a mother. Mother brings us to the world. They give us life and love. When we are little, they take good care of us. They give much but give themselves little. They prefer to give us the best rather than let us feel hungry.
When we are ill, they take us to the hospital and look after us day and night. When we smile, they smile. When we cry, they cry. Once I hear a story about mother.
The story happened at the earthquake in 20xx. When people found a mother, they were surprised to find that there was a baby in her arms and there was a mobile phone near the baby. In the mobile phone there was a text message, saying" My lovely baby, I love you forever." The mother used her body to save her child. How great the mother is! Mothers will do everything for their children.
So we should love our mothers and take good care of them when they need us. We shouldn't be angry with our mothers when they punish us, because what they do is for our good.
Good morning,ladies and gentleman. I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech.Today my topic is “The older I grow,the more I learn”. I hope you will like it. ,
How times flies! After saying goodbye to my happy primary school life,I become a junior school student.I know there`s always so much work to do and also much trouble I have to face.
In school,I have to take a lot of lessons.Some are interesting while some are boring.But it's the responsibility of the students to leam them all well. I have to try my best to finish it.During my growing time,a lot of trouble worried me.That's awful and makes me blue.
Although I met with a lot of failure, I still have a lot of gains.I can make a priceless freiendship. I can leam a large number of usful things,such as being kind,friendly to others, being confident and independent and so on. I think growing pains and gains are coutless.But they actually play an important role in my life and make my life colourful.

Necessity of lifelong learning
Dear Mr. Li, dear my schoolmates, good morning!
Entrusted by the first group of schoolmates, the topic of my speech is Necessity for lifelong learning.
About lifelong learning, there is the famous proverb in Chinese: never too old to learn. Confucius, the famous educator in ancient China, also said: if I learn the Classical literature "Yi" from the age of 50, I would never make so many mistakes.
To sum up, Necessity of lifelong learning is mainly based on the following reasons:
First of all, the knowledge of modern society changes so quickly, if not to learn new knowledge in time you will soon fall behind the times. For example, using the mobile Internet technology, we can using a mobile phone to book a taxi, pay various fees, buy all kinds of goods etc. if a person may not grasp the knowledge, especially senior people ,they will not use the convenience brought by Internet.
Secondly, diligent in thinking can effectively prevent the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease. This conclusion has been verified in medicine.
Finally, a person who maintains the habit of lifelong
learning, can have a stronger advantage in occupation choice. This is not only good for the person, but also for the country and the society.
Some people complain that, they have too much work and have no time to read a book usually. But In fact lifelong learning is not only reading or having a class, we can browse the web, read e-books, receiving distance courses through the Internet conveniently. We can learn not only knowledge, but also skills.
Age cannot be a barrier to our lifelong learning. Chu
Shijian, once the king of China's tobacco industry, had
suffered a great setback before retirement. He was even put into prison. But at the age of 75, he began to study orange planting technology seriously, and finally have a huge success in this area ten years late. Harland Sandoz of America began learning the fast-food lethal at his age of 83. When he was 88 years old, his fast food chain often Kentucky had distributed each corner of the world.
Therefore, lifelong learning is never too late to start, let's start our plan today.
Thank you.

Honourable judges, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, good morning. Humanism, by which I mean the will to give people love and care, is the most joyful and meaningful part of being human. From the old days to technologically advanced world, humanism is always telling ordinary but moving stories.
Let me tell you what touched my heart this winter break, one morning when I visited my grandmother in the hospital. Walking down the cold, tiled corridor, I noticed an old man, with his granddaughter – maybe 10 years old – sitting by his side. I was lured there by her voice – light and playful – and after I'd seen them together, I could barely take my eyes away. Delicately draped over this old man's beeping cardiograph was a silk sheet with an ancient, cheerful Chinese poem beautifully written on it – and now, this little girl's entrancing voice lovingly brought these words to life. I stood there transfixed; no longer did I see the family members swimming in nervousness; no longer did I feel the hospital's tense cloud of anxiety; no longer did I hear mortality's soft whispers in the corridors; instead, I saw a startling marriage of juxtaposing images and emotions. I was beholding, I realized, a bewilderingly simple yet overwhelmingly powerful metaphor – one that shows that no matter how cold an environment technology can conjure, humanity is always there. In the forefront or the fringes, it is always there.
For here it was, illustrated vividly before me – the coldness of technology embodied in the hospital walls, while the soulful words of the little girl danced around them in defiance.
This experience opened my eyes in many ways – ever since, I have been acutely aware of, and wonderfully conscious of, the warm heart of humanity surrounding us, whether we choose to recognise it or not. As one psychological theory states, "We see what we want to see". After my experience that day at the hospital, I have chosen to recognize, day by day, the warmth of humanism everywhere I can.
I refuse to accept the negative, narrow-minded, caustic opinions that technology is eroding our souls. I say to them, let the machines continue their monotonous cacophony, for just one smiling face is infinitely more valuable than a thousand churners of binary code; let technological progress develop and develop until it poetically devours itself, because one heartfelt "hello" to a fellow traveller can speak libraries of warmth; let the powermongers and oil barons puff their last cigars, because the love and care, and warmth of humanism will always shine like beacon, reaching out to each and every heart on this small planet.
Although I'll probably never see that little girl or her grandfather again, I'll never forget seeing them there in the hospital that day – and if I did, I'd thank them for showing me how vivid yet subtle, how firm yet fragile, and how invisible yet omnipresent the human spirit is in our world today. Thank you.
Never Give Up
“If I could reach higher, just for one moment to touch the sky…”---this is from my favorite song Reach.
When we are appreciating the passionate melody of Gloria Estefan, we could hardly imagine that she could return to the stage after her paralysis. In the year 1990, this Cuban singer was knocked down in a traffic accident, and the doctor declared that she might never walk again. But Gloria did not give up and kept up constant exercising. Just one year after the disaster, she stood up again and presented this encouraging song at the Atlanta Olympics.
Whenever I think of Gloria, I can’t help recalling my memory seven years ago, when I first entered university. Naturally shy, ordinary looking, average scores in study, just like an ugly duckling, I seemed to be the least outstanding one in my class. And the successive failures in the beginning led me into despair. “Am I destined to take the back seat to others?” Unwilling to submit to the fate, I paid more efforts on my study as well as many other activities, film dubbing, recital, drama… cause I just want to catch every little opportunity to prove myself. Constant effort yields sure success. Thanks to the competition, I received some awards and most of all, I gained the courage and confidence to face any difficulties in my life journey.
Life is just like farming, and what you can reap depends a lot on your sowing and dedication. Once you have a dream, don’t be hesitant. Your next difficult step may be the one to the top. Keep going forward, even in the toughest time, and never give up.
永不放弃
“如果我能到达更高的地方，哪怕只有碰触天空的一刹那…”---选自我所喜爱的歌曲《到达》。
当我们在欣赏葛罗莉亚·伊斯特芬那充满激情的旋律，我们很难想象她能从瘫痪中回到舞台。1990年这个古巴歌手遭遇车祸，医生说她可能再也没办法走路了。可是葛罗莉亚并没有放弃希望，坚持做恢复训练。在灾难后仅仅一年，她又站起来了，并且在亚特兰大奥运会上唱响了这首鼓舞人心的歌曲。
每当我想起葛罗莉亚的时候，我禁不住回忆起七年前我刚进入大学的时候。天性害羞，相貌平平，成绩一般，就像一只丑小鸭，我是班上最不起眼的一个。而且在刚开学时一连串的失败让我陷入绝望。“难道我注定要给别人当配角吗?” 不愿意向这个命运屈服，我更加努力的学习并且参加许多其他的活动，电影配音、朗诵、戏剧…因为我想抓住任何一个微小的机会来证实我自己。不懈的努力终会带来成功。我从竞赛中获得了一些奖励，最重要的是，我从中得到了面对人生一切困难的勇气和决心。
生活就像是耕耘，一份耕耘一份收获。一旦你有了梦想，不要犹豫。你艰难的下一步也许就是通往成功的阶梯。即使在最困难的时候也要勇往直前，决不放弃。
good evening,ladies and gentlemen,
today,my topic is about expressing the appreciation to our mothers.
a few days ago,i have read a news about a mother who walked 18 days back home after a visit to her son who works in the city.the mother did this just because she wanted to save 100 yuan for
him.during the jurney,she had to beg for meals and ask people to take her in in the night.sometimes,unfortunately,she got nothing and had to sleep in caves with starvation.18 days later,when the police found her,she was exhausted and weak.the mother is already 52 years
old,what`s her motivation for doing thisi think everybody knows the answer,yes,it`s the selfless love for her son.
we always say that mother love is the greatest love in the world,as we are growing,we enjoy the delicious food she cooked,we enjoy the clean clothes she washed,we get used to the privilege she gave us. then,gradually,we just take it for granted and begin to find her nagging.we tend to pay less attention to her and sometimes even ignore her.ladies and gentlemen,can you remember what did you do to show your mother your love on her birthdaysi am pretty sure that the younger you were,the more attention you would pay.even though, your mother still love you the same.
on mother`s day,i received a message from one of my best
friends,she said:i am appreciated to your mother for giving birth to you 20 years ago,because it gave me the chance to become your friend.i was moved by these words and can`t help thinking: what a mother isshe is the one who will walk for 18 days just to save 100
yuan for you.she is the one who will keep loving you and expect no return.she is the one who has already sacrificed a lot for you and is ready to sacrifice more.whybecause she got the name mother immediately after you were born.
so,ladies and gentlemen,please be greatful to our mothers, and please cherish the miracle our mothers have made since the
day we came to this world.
thank you very much !
Ladies and Gentlemen, Good morning! I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech.
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 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.” I will put my personality with my interest and ability into my study, during these process I will combine learning with doing. If I can achieve this “future”, I think that I really grow up. And I deeply believe kindred, good-fellowship and love will perfection and happy in the future.
How to say future? Maybe it’s a nice wish. Lets make up our minds, stick to it and surely well enjoy our life.
Good morning boys and girls！
It’s a great pleasure for me/It’s nice to to give you a speech here. Nowadays mastering a foreign language is very helpful in our daily life. I feel it a great honor to share my opinions about English learning with you. Firstly, I believe it is useful to remember as many sentence patterns as possible. Secondly, we should try our best to read more English newspapers and magazines after class, which helps to improve our reading abilities. Besides, TV programmes are of great help to us. Last but not least, it’s necessary for us to communicate with foreign friends as much as possible and increase our awareness of foreign cultures, which can also help to improve our English. However, sometimes I find it difficult to pronounce some English words correctly. I would appreciate it if someone could give me some advice. Thanks for your attention
That's all my speech,thank you.
Change the world? change ourselves
Good evening, honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen.
It’s my great pleasure to stand here to present my speech—change the world, change ourselves.
It’s noticable that western holidays are becoming increasingly popular day by day, while chinese traditional festivals are being somewhat neglected. not long before about 10 doctors in beijing university and qinghua unversity announced that we should reject the invasion of western holidays ,because they regard western holidays as an challenge against our traditional festivals and culture.
Frankly speaking, i don’t quite agree with them.Indeed, we should never neglect or even discard our traditonal festivals as china boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions. (examples).but why can’t we absorb the meaningful western holidays and culture.
There are obvious reasons why some western holidays are so popular in china. on the one hand, some of the western holidays which we chinese don’t have are reasonable and meaningful, such as father’s day and april fool’s day etc. on the other hand,the prevalence of globalization enables western culture to prevail in china. overwhelmed by such a trend,chinese unconsciously get involved in western holidays and culture.
With the further development of the whole world, the cultural communication between different countries and nations becom faster and more and more important. we are indeed from different nations, but we are the citizens of the same world, so the outstanding culture of different nations is the commom wealth of everyone on the earth.the only way for us to protect our traditional culture is to reject the foreign culture? the answer is definitely no. what we ought to do is to spare no effort to educate chinese to get to know and treasure our splendid traditions instead of rejecting foreign culture. only by educating can we set our confidence and belief towards our culture. only by educating can we preserve and promote the wealth that our ancesters left for us.
At last i’d like to share a famouse saying of gandhi with all of you ,that is:if you want to change the world, then you must change yourself first.”

改变世界?改变自己
晚上好，尊敬的评委，女士们，先生们。
我很高兴站在这里发表我的演讲改变世界，改变我们自己。
引人注目的是，西方的节日日益变得越来越流行，而中国的传统节日被冷落。不久前在北京大学和清华大学约10名医生宣布，我们应该拒绝入侵的西方节日，因为他们认为西方节日作为一种挑战我们的传统节日和文化。
坦白地说，我不完全同意他们。事实上，我们不应该忽视甚至抛弃我们的传统节日作为中国拥有辉煌的历史和灿烂的传统。但是为什么我们不能吸收有意义的西方节日和文化呢?。
有明显的原因，一些西方节日在中国如此受欢迎。另一方面，一些西方的节日，我们中国人不合理和有意义的事情，比如父亲节，四月的愚人节等，另一方面，普遍的全球化使得西方文化在中国盛行。在这种潮流的冲击下，中国人不知不觉地卷入了西方的节日和文化。
随着世界的发展，文化交流不同国家和民族之间变得更加快捷和更重要。我们来自不同的国家，但我们是公民相同的世界，所以不同的民族优秀文化是我们保护我们的传统文化在地球每个人的共有财产的唯一途径就是拒绝外国的文化吗?答案当然是否定的。我们应该做的是不遗余力地教育中国人去认识和珍惜我们灿烂的传统，而不是拒绝外国文化。只有通过教育，我们才能树立我们对文化的信心和信念。只有通过教育才能保持和提升的财富，我们的祖先留给我们。
最后我想说的一个著名的分享甘地和你们，那就是：如果你想改变世界，那么你必须改变你自己。”
Someone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. I don’t know who wrote these words, but I’ve always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be. We are all in the position of the farmers. If we plant a good seed ,we reap a good harvest. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.
We are young. “How to spend the youth?” It is a meaningful question. To answer it, first I have to ask “what do you understand by the word youth?” Youth is not a time of life, it’s a state of mind. It’s not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees. It’s the matter of the will. It’s the freshness of the deep spring of life.
A poet said “To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. Several days ago, I had a chance to listen to a lecture. I learnt a lot there. I’d like to share it with all of you. Let’s show our right palms. We can see three
lines that show how our love.career and life is. I have a short line of life. What about yours? I wondered whether we could see our future in this way. Well, let’s make a fist. Where is our future? Where is our love, career, and life? Tell me.Yeah, it is in our hands. It is held in ourselves.
We all want the future to be better than the past. But the future can go better itself. Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened. From the past, we’ve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher. We’ve learnt that we can’t choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it. Failure doesn’t mean you don’t have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way. Failure doesn’t mean you should give up, it does mean you must try harder.
As what I said at the beginning, “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. The past has gone. Nothing we do will change it. But the future is in frront of us. Believe that what we give to the world, the world will give to us. And from today on, let’s be the owners of ourselves, and speak out “We are the world, we are the future.”
翻译：有人说“我们正在读一本书的第一章的第一节,页数无限的”。我不知道谁写的这些话,但我一直很喜欢他们提醒人们,可以是任何我们想要的未来。我们都是农民的地位。我们若种下好种子,我们收获丰收。如果我们工厂什么都没有,我们什么也没收获。
我们年轻的时候。“如何度过青春?“这是一个有意义的问题。要回答这个问题,首先我要问“你怎么理解这个词的青年吗?“青春不是生命的一个阶段,它是一种心态。它不是红润的面颊,红色的嘴唇和柔软的膝盖。它的问题。它是生命的深泉的清新。
一个诗人说:“从一粒沙子看到一个世界,从一朵野花看到一个天堂,把无限放在你的手掌,永恒也就消融于一个时辰。几天前,我有机会听一个讲座。我学到了很多。我想与大家分享。让我们展示我们的右手掌。我们可以看到三个
行,展示我们的爱。职业和生活。我有一个短线的生活。你的呢?我想知道是否我们可以看到我们的未来。好吧,让我们做一个拳头。我们的未来在哪里?哪里是我们的爱,事业和生活?告诉我。是的,它是在我们的手中。这是在自己举行。
我们都希望未来会比过去更好。但是未来可以更好的自己。不要因为完结而哭,要为曾经发生而微笑。从过去,我们知道,生活是艰苦的,但我们是更坚强。我们知道我们不能选择我们的感觉,但我们可以选择。失败并不意味着你不拥有它,它意味着你应该换一种方式。失败并不意味着你应该放弃,它意味着你须更加努力。
就像我一开始说,“我们正在读一本书的第一章的第一节,页数无限的”。过去的已经过去了。我们所做的任何事都不会改变它。但是未来是在我们面前。相信我们给世界,世界将给我们。从今天开始,我们是自己的主人,说出“我们是世界,我们是未来。”
