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!
Parents gave me life in this world,I love the most is them.
Expressing of loving parents do not need to pass a language that I lovethem.Whatever we can do some little things.In the Father's Day or Mother'sDay,we can prepare a delicious breakfast for them.We can remember theirbirthdays.In their birthdays,we don't need to buy gifts,but have to say happybirthday.
When parents come home from work,we can hand them a cup of hot water to makethem relax.We can help parents to share some of the housework,so that they havemore time to rest.As part of the family,we should take active to do housework.Ifwe read out,we should always contact them,tell them recent things of our own.Letthem not worry about us.
It is known to all our parents love is priceless,is not asking foranything.We should love them in return. But,parents can be very simple love.Aslong as the life of more concern to them,for them to have been verysatisfied.Just do it.
父母给了我生活在这个世界上，我最爱的就是他们。
表达对父母的爱不需要通过语言，我爱他们。我们可以做些力所能及的事情。在父亲节和母亲节，我们可以准备一顿美味的早餐给他们。我们能记住他们的生日。在他们的生日，我们不需要买礼物，但有说生日快乐。
当父母下班回家，我们可以递上一杯热水让他们放松。我们可以帮父母分担一些家务，让他们有更多的时间休息文章。作为家庭的一部分，我们应该主动去做家务。如果我们读出来的，我们要经常联系他们，告诉他们我们自己最近的事情，让他们不要担心我们
众所周知，父母的爱是无价的，是不求任何回报。我们应该爱他们作文。但是，父母的爱可以很简单。只要给他们更多的关注生活，他们已经很满意了。只是这样做。

With the improvement of our living standard， more and more people canafford a car。 As a result， our roads are more often than not crammed with cars。However， with more and more waste gas being discharged by the cars， the problemof air pollution bees even more serious。 So nowadays we advocate to lead alow-carbon life。
My suggestion is we should ride bikes more often instead of driving cars。Byriding a bike， we can not only exercise our body but also protect ourenvironment。 Why not have a try， my dear friends?
与我们的生活水平的提高，越来越多的人都买得起汽车的。因此，道路往往没有堆满了汽车。然而，随着越来越多的废气排放是汽车、空气污染问题变得更加严重。所以此刻我们提倡过低碳的生活。
我的推荐是我们就应更经常骑自行车而不是开车骑一辆自行车，我们不仅仅能锻炼身体，也能保护我们的环境。为什么不试试，我亲爱的朋友?
A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat."
Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust. He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river." He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food.
He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them. Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.

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.
Hello everyone,Today, I want to talk about the power of faith. Faith is a powerful force that shapes our lives and gives us purpose. It is the foundation of our beliefs, values, and actions.
Faith can help us overcome challenges and difficulties. When we have a belief in something, we are more likely to persevere and work towards our goals. It can also help us find meaning and purpose in life. When we have faith in ourselves and our abilities, we are more likely to achieve our goals and reach our dreams.
Faith can also bring us closer to our loved ones and friends. When we have faith in our relationships and the people in our lives, we are more likely to be compassionate, kind, and supportive. It can also help us connect with our spirituality and have a deeper understanding of the world around us.
But faith is not just about belief in something. It is also about being open-minded and accepting change. When we have faith in something, we are more likely to be patient and understanding when things don't go as planned. We are also more likely to be open to new ideas and perspectives, which can help us grow and evolve as individuals.
In conclusion, faith is a powerful force that shapes our lives and gives us purpose. It can help us overcome challenges and difficulties, bring us closer to our loved ones, and connect us with our spirituality. Whether we are religious or not, faith is a fundamental aspect of our lives that can help us live meaningful and fulfilling lives. Thank you.
good evening, ladies and gentlemen:
i’d like to start with a group of pictures.
"modern and advanced"? this society forgets, and ignores the other two thirds of human beings. it's far from the ideal! we call ideal as a utopian, a place where reality does not exist. a few people still look forward to the ideals. we make fun of them, considering they are naive. will we still be content to live in such a society, if misfortune drops to us? no! of cause not!
when we feel the warmth of the sun, these people, endure great sorrows and pains. can we imagine that? they are our brother and sisters!
facing them, will we still complain about our own misfortune?
facing them, will we still have the mood shouting for our own freedom? facing them, will we still want to have more and more unnecessary stuff?
they are unable to meet their needs, even the basic needs of survival! everyone, as a member of humanity, shouldn't feel ashamed? our luxury deprived their lives, our indifference violated our soul, and our barbarity destroyed human civilization!
what's the ideal society? it's a society no one worries about their living, a society no one is refused from education, a society everyone can pursue his/her own happiness! the ideal society is filled with love, joy and kindness. in that society, we can touch the other's hearts, we can share our dreams and most important, we can just be the true men!
let's break the ethnic divide, bridge the gap between rich and poor, hand in hand, to build a great wall, protecting us from evil; to construct a steady bridge, connecting reality to the ideal society! let's pursue for that, that's the only way to the bright future! they are watching us! thank you!

When George was thirty-five, he bought a small plane and learned to fly it. He soon became very good and made his plane do all kinds of tricks.
George had a friend. His name was Mark. One day George offered to take Mark up in his plane. Mark thought, "I've travelled in a big plane several times, but I've never been in a small one, so I'll go."
They went up, and George flew around for half an hour and did all kinds of tricks in the air.
When they came down again, Mark was very glad to be back safely, and he said to his friend in a shaking voice, "Well, George, thank you very much for those two trips in your plane."
George was very surprised and said, "Two trips?"
"Yes, my first and my last," answered Mark.

You couldn‘t imagine one woman， deaf， dumb and blind， would live happily. For most of us， we would go to death rather than living if we couldn‘t listen， couldn‘t speak and couldn‘t look.
We are not brave enough to face such life. But Helen Keller did. As the most famous handicapped， though deaf， dumb and blind， she tried her best to let herself happy. She learnt to touch the world and learn writing with her fingers， then she could write her sentiments with imaginations and pens. I believe she must have one strong heart to face all the misfortunes.
Maybe misfortunes are given by God， but the life is made by ourselves. The heart decides the life. We are much luckier than Helen Keller. And no one wants you to be Helen Keller.
What I want to say in this Speech is living happily and smile to face all difficulties in your life. I believe it’s much easier than what Hellen Keller did.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
My topic is Honesty.
As a correspondent of the Qingdao Morning News, I visited Dr. James Gilman, the President of the International Committee for Marco Polo Studies in England. In this picture, this is James, and this is me and we are looking at a dragon’s tooth. This is a true story.
65 years ago, James lived in Qingdao. Then he was only 5 years old. He often visited the Aquarium and was fascinated by a creature on display there, which he thought was a dragon. He was afraid of its sharp teeth and wanted one to keep as a treasure.
He kept the tooth for the next 65 years, but the feeling of guilt at having stolen it was there in the background all through his life. It was always on his conscience, and the feeling intensified as he became older. Finally he decided to put right his childish error. In 20xx, he visited Qingdao and returned it to the Aquarium with his sincere apologies. He received a warm welcome.
When James visited Qingdao, I accompanied him all the time and reported on his visit. I was deeply touched by his honesty. It has taught me a lot. I think to err is human. The important thing is to have the courage to admit and correct one’s error.
Honesty is a vital quality of human behaviour. So we should try to keep an honest mind in everything we say and do. I would like to say to all of my friends: Let’s be honest people of good moral character.
Thank you.
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.
Ad see no end to the landscape, new objects presenting themselves as we advance; so, in the commencement of life, we set no bounds to our inclinations. nor to the unrestricted opportunities of gratifying them. we have as yet found no obstacle, no disposition to flag; and it seems that we can go on so forever. we look round in a new world, full of life, and motion, and ceaseleprogress; and feel in ourselves all the vigor and spirit to keep pace with it, and do not foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural course of things, decline into old age, and drop into the grave. it is the simplicity, and as it were abstractedneof our feelings in youth, that (so to speak) identifies us with nature, and (our experience being slight and our passions strong) deludes us into a belief of being immortal like it. our short-lives connection with existence we fondly flatter ourselves, is an indissoluble and lasting union-a honeymoon that knows neither coldness, jar, nor separation. as infants smile and sleep, we are rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies, and lulled into security by the roar of the universe around us0we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the more-objects prearound us, filling the mind with their magnitude and with the strong of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.
Do you think it's possible to control someone's attention? Even more than that, what about predicting human behavior? I think those are interesting ideas, if you could. I mean, for me, that would be the perfect superpower, actually kind of an evil way of approaching it. But for myself, in the past, I've spent the last 20 years studying human behavior from a rather unorthodox way: picking pockets. When we think of misdirection, we think of something as looking off to the side, when actually it's often the things that are right in front of us that are the hardest things to see, the things that you look at every day that you're blinded to.
For example, how many of you still have your cell phones on you right now? Great. Double-check. Make sure you still have them on you. I was doing some shopping beforehand. Now you've looked at them probably a few times today, but I'm going to ask you a question about them. Without looking at your cell phone directly yet, can you remember the icon in the bottom right corner? Bring them out, check, and see how accurate you were. How'd you do? Show of hands. Did we get it?
Now that you're done looking at those, close them down, because every phone has something in common. No matter how you organize the icons, you still have a clock on the front. So, without looking at your phone, what time was it? You just looked at your clock, right? It's an interesting idea. Now, I'll ask you to take that a step further with a game of trust. Close your eyes. I realize I'm asking you to do that while you just heard there's a pickpocket in the room, but close your eyes.
Now, you've been watching me for about 30 seconds. With your eyes closed, what am I wearing? Make your best guess. What color is my shirt? What color is my tie? Now open your eyes. By a show of hands, were you right?
It's interesting, isn't it? Some of us are a little bit more perceptive than others. It seems that way. But I have a different theory about that, that model of attention. They have fancy models of attention, Posner's trinity model of attention. For me, I like to think of it very simple, like a surveillance system. It's kind of like you have all these fancy sensors, and inside your brain is a little security guard. For me, I like to call him Frank. So Frank is sitting at a desk. He's got all sorts of cool information in front of him, high-tech equipment, he's got cameras, he's got a little phone that he can pick up, listen to the ears, all these senses, all these perceptions. But attention is what steers your perceptions, is what controls your reality. It's the gateway to the mind. If you don't attend to something, you can't be aware of it. But ironically, you can attend to something without being aware of it. That's why there's the cocktail effect: When you're in a party, you're having conversations with someone, and yet you can recognize your name and you didn't even realize you were listening to that.
Now, for my job, I have to play with techniques to exploit this, to play with your attention as a limited resource. So if I could control how you spend your attention, if I could maybe steal your attention through a distraction. Now, instead of doing it like misdirection and throwing it off to the side, instead, what I choose to focus on is Frank, to be able to play with the Frank inside your head, your little security guard, and get you, instead of focusing on your external senses, just to go internal for a second. So if I ask you to access a memory, like, what is that? What just happened? Do you have a wallet? Do you have an American Express in your wallet? And when I do that, your Frank turns around. He accesses the file. He has to rewind the tape. And what's interesting is, he can't rewind the tape at the same time that he's trying to process new data.
Now, I mean, this sounds like a good theory, but I could talk for a long time and tell you lots of things, and they may be true, a portion of them, but I think it's better if I tried to show that to you here live. So if I come down, I'm going to do a little bit of shopping. Just hold still where you are.
Hello, how are you? It's lovely to see you. You did a wonderful job onstage. You have a lovely watch that doesn't come off very well. Do you have your ring as well? Good. Just taking inventory. You're like a buffet. It's hard to tell where to start, there's so many great things.
Hi, how are you? Good to see you.
Hi, sir, could you stand up for me, please? Just right where you are. Oh, you're married. You follow directions well. That's nice to meet you, sir. You don't have a whole lot inside your pockets. Anything down by the pocket over here? Hopefully so. Have a seat. There you go. You're doing well.

my honor versus dishonor view, my position
the male eagle brushes past the sky, row a beautiful of curve lie in it to sought to allow the position for a wings of oneself;the fierce tiger whistles the forest of , leaving a bright scenery, lying in it to sought to allow the position for the oneself's strong and healthy body, the person wants to achieve success, must examine the oneself to seek precise own position.
the ages is in the progress, the history enters ahead, the exaltation of the living level along with the people, the exactitude sets up own honor versus dishonor view is an exaltation that is teenager's character of 21 centuries, the body of the life value now.
the ancients once says:" the people has no the letter not to sign, the letter have no the does not become" ancients is still such, besides now person!is the traditional virtue of our chinese nation with" the honesty keeps promise for the glory", 《 kid and wolf 》 of story is widely known is to lose the trust because the kid cheats to take the other people's trust to him for many times, being the end wolf to really come to other people to his many beguilements.end, the kid let wolf give eat.although does this is a story its difficult ways and can't explain the certain truth?since the childhood mother educates the child who i want to be a" honesty".what does" honesty" include?small go to not bogus, big go to not cheat the nation, don't endanger the human life.what is the meaning of the " honesty" exactly?i feel" the honesty keep promise since is a kind of morals quality and the morals convictions, is also the morals responsibility of each citizen is also a kind of lofty personality power".therefore, we want to be the person whom a real honesty keep promise to carry out our dream, setting up our home totally.
own king of establishment of wang of ancient帝is" close wise minister, far mean person" toward what to pay attention to.menzi"s die for principle" the value of explain" righteousness" and" life", the life can lose but the righteousnedefinitely can't obliterate, although person non- sage and virtuous man, can have no which.but raise now the eyes four wang-kus chinese and foreign have how much hero one a long distance of败of hero because was injury secretly by the mean person, refuse to close eyes in death;return toward today and have how much businessman throw away the prestige of everything because personal private interest, disregard to make track for the oneself to want to get the target, thus leave the for life regret to repent the whole life." benefit" is an everyone to want to get of, but a person for the sake of 1:00" benefit" but lose the time of" righteousness", you can once thought of that the ancients can" die for principle", that why oneself can for the sake of 1:00" benefit" but lose" righteousness" of the eternity!when your by all manners for the sake of" benefit" but lose" righteousness" your difficult way does not feel shameful?
" i" an is for 21 centuries, the teenager toes set up the right honor versus dishonor view of oneself," with the honesty keep promise for glory, take forget honor at sight of money as the disgrace" then can become" the vast sky male eagle, fierce tiger in mountain" thus, seeking the position of precise oneself's life, achieving for the ideal that the motherland requites the effect.
chinese restaurants have played an important role in american history, as a matter of fact. the cuban missile crisis was resolved in a chinese restaurant called yenching palace in washington, d.c., which unfortunately is closed now, and about to be turned into walgreen's. and the house that john wilkes booth planned the assassination of abraham lincoln is actually also now a chinese restaurant called wok 'n roll, on h street in washington.
事实上，中国餐馆在美国历史上发挥了很重要的作用。古巴导弹危机是在华盛顿一家名叫“燕京馆”的中餐馆里解决的。很不幸，这家餐馆现在关门了，即将被改建成沃尔格林连锁药店。而约翰·威尔克斯·布斯刺杀林肯总统的那所房子现在也成了一家中餐馆，就是位于华盛顿的“锅和卷”。
and if you think about it, a lot of the foods that you think of or we think of or americans think of as chinese food are barely recognizable to chinese, for example: beef with broccoli, egg rolls, general tso's chicken, fortune cookies, chop suey, the take-out boxes.
如果你仔细想想，就会发现很多你们所认为或我们所认为，或是美国人所认为的中国食物，中国人并不认识。比如西兰花牛肉、蛋卷、左宗棠鸡、幸运饼干、杂碎、外卖盒子。
so, the interesting question is, how do you go from fortune cookies being something that is japanese to being something that is chinese? well, the short answer is, we locked up all the japanese during world war ii, including those that made fortune cookies, so that's the time when the chinese moved in, kind of saw a market opportunity and took over.
所以有趣的是，幸运饼干是怎么从日本的东西变成中国的东西的呢?简单地说，我们在二战时扣押了所以的日本人，包括那些做幸运饼干的。这时候，中国人来了，看到了商机，自然就据为己有了。
I encourage you to look up the scene on YouTube – but not right now – because it’s still a very funny piece. And it’s funny because it’s ridiculous, but also because it contains a kernel of truth. And the truth applies not only to college presidents, but to all of us. How many times have we decided we’re against an idea before we’ve even heard it? How guilty are we of deciding “I’m against it” without even knowing what “it” is?
Many times, we know what we’re against based on who is saying it. If an idea comes from a certain public figure, politician, or media outlet, we already know how we feel. Partly this is because our public discourse has become so predictable. We’ve lost the capacity for surprise, for revelation. Speaking of predictable, here is the moment where an ambassador of an older generation – that would be me – tells millennials – most of you – about the evils of social media! But hear me out…
Obviously, social media has transformed our lives and our relationships. It obviously has many advantages, allowing us to share news and information quickly with people around the world. But it also heightens our sense of outrage and speeds up arguments, depriving us of the time and space for careful reflection. Bombarded with notifications, pressured to respond before the media cycle turns over, we tap out our position – our opposition – in seconds. It’s easy to be against something in fewer than 280 characters. It’s far more difficult to articulate what you are for – and to do it at warp speed.

I was born in an ordinary family, but I never feel lacking anything in mylife. I receive love from my family. When I meet troubles, they support mewithout hesitation. The strong connection of kinship provides me the great powerto move on.
我出生在一个平凡的家庭，但在我的生活中，我从不觉得有缺失。我从家人那里得到了爱。当我遇到困难时，他们会毫不犹豫地支持我。紧紧联系在一起的亲情给了我前进的动力。
Chinese people pay special attention to the family reunion. No matter how faraway they are, the family members will come home and have big dinner ontraditional festivals. The meal means so much for everyone. People enjoy themoment to have communication with each other and strengthen therelationship.
中国人特别注重家庭团聚。所以不管他们在哪里，传统节日的时候家庭成员都会回家吃大餐。这顿饭对每个人来说都很重要，大家享受着彼此之间的交流，加强了彼此的关系。
With the family’s support, we will be a strong person, no matter how hard thelife is. When we meet difficulties, it is natural for us to think about ourfamilies, as they give us the motivation to get over the hard time. If we aretired, just go home and talk to our parents, then all the annoyances will beforgotten and they mean nothing to you compared to the kinship.
有了家人的支持，无论生活多么艰难，我们都会成为一个坚强的人。当我们遇到困难时，我们很自然地会想到我们的家人，他们给了我们克服困难的动力。如果我们累了，回家和父母谈谈，所有的烦恼都将被遗忘，与亲情相比这些烦恼什么都不是。
The close kinship is the infinite power to lead us a positive life. I cherishall the love they give me.
亲密的亲情给我们积极的生活带来无限力量。我珍惜他们给我的所有爱。

Everyone has a lot of friends and he must have his own friendship as well.But usually only when you get into trouble, will you know what the truefriendship is. The friend in need is the friend in deed. Only the real friendswill help you when you are in trouble. If you establish your friendship when youare in trouble, make it go on forever.
每个人都有很多朋友，也一定有属于他自己的友谊。但是，通常只有当你遇到困难时，你才能知道什么是真正的友谊。患难见真情，只有真正的朋友会在你身处困境时帮助你。如果你在逆境中将友谊建立，那么请让它继续到永远。
Maybe a boy and a girl become good friends. They feel very happy when theyare each other, but other students may think that they have fallen in love. Ifyou were one of them, what would you do? If I were in that position, I would notcare about what anyone else may say. I only care about her feeling. We shouldknow that our friendship is pure without anything bad mixed. Friendship is veryimportant for everyone, so I will let my friendship last forever.
也许一个女孩和一个男孩成为了好朋友，他们在一起会感到很幸福。但是，其他同学会认为他们相爱了。如果你是其中之一，你会怎么办?如果是我，我将不会在乎别人说什么，我只在乎她的感觉。我们应该明白，我们的友谊是纯洁的，是不含任何杂质的。友谊对每个人都很重要，所以我会让我们的友谊继续下去。
Everyone should know that he can not lose his opposite sex friends. If you donot make friends with your opposite sex classmates, then you have already losthalf of the friends. So you can make friends with all your classmates, and don'tbe shy. You should also pay enough attention to the friendship that you havealready established. Don’t undermine it unless you want to hurt him. You shouldnever try to do so, for if you do that you will lose much in emotion.
每个人都应该明白你不能失去异性的朋友如果你不与异性同学交朋友，那么你就已经失去了一半朋友。所以你可以与你所有的同学交朋友，不要害羞。你同样也应该重视你已经建立的友谊，不要破坏它，除非你想伤害他。不过，请不要去尝试，如果你这么做你会失去太多的感情。
Please cherish everything that you have already possessed. Maybe you don'tcare about it now. But when you lose it, you will find that how important itis.
请珍惜你所拥有的一切也许你现在并不在乎，但当你失去时你会发现它是多么的重要。
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.

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。
