Hi, everyone. As we all know,many great inventions have brought greatchanges to our life. I think we students can also invent something.
大家好!我们都知道,许多伟大的发明给我们的生活带来了巨大的变化。我认为我们学生也可以发明一些东西。
Today I'm glad to be here to talk about what I'd like to invent - a chairthat's good for students' health. It will be made of wood. There will be twosensors in it -- one on the seat, and the other on the back of the chair. Whenthe student doesn't sit straight, the chair will remind him .If he sits on thechair for over one hour ,it will make a noise. It won't stop until the studentstands up and leaves.
今天我很高兴到这里来谈论我想发明——一把椅子,对学生的健康有好处。这将是用木头做的。将会有两个传感器，一个在椅子上，另一个在椅子后背。当学生不坐直,椅子会提醒他。如果他坐在椅子上超过一个小时,这将发出噪音。它不会停止,直到学生站起来,离开了。
It will be a useful invention, won't it ?
这将是一个有用的发明,不是吗?
Thank you!
谢谢大家!

PRESIDENT CLINTON:
Thank you. Thank you, President Chen, Chairmen Ren, Vice President Chi, Vice Minister Wei. We are delighted to be here today with a very large American delegation, including the First Lady and our daughter, who is a student at Stanford, one of the schools with which Beijing University has a relationship. We have six members of the United States Congress; the Secretary of State; Secretary of Commerce; the Secretary of Agriculture; the Chairman of our Council of Economic Advisors; Senator Sasser, our Ambassador; the National Security Advisor and my Chief of Staff, among others. I say that to illustrate the importance that the United States places on our relationship with China.
I would like to begin by congratulating all of you, the students, the faculty, the administrators, on celebrating the centennial year of your university. Gongxi, Beida. (Applause.)
As I'm sure all of you know, this campus was once home to Yenching University which was founded by American missionaries. Many of its wonderful buildings were designed by an American architect. Thousands of Americans students and professors have come here to study and teach. We feel a special kinship with you.
I am, however, grateful that this day is different in one important respect from another important occasion 79 years ago. In June of 1919, the first president of Yenching University, John Leighton Stuart, was set to deliver the very first commencement address on these very grounds. At the appointed hour, he appeared, but no students appeared. They were all out leading the May 4th Movement for China's political and cultural renewal. When I read this, I hoped that when I walked into the auditorium today, someone would be sitting here. And I thank you for being here, very much. (Applause.)
Over the last 100 years, this university has grown to more than 20,000 students. Your graduates are spread throughout China and around the world. You have built the largest university library in all of Asia. Last year, 20 percent of your graduates went abroad to study, including half of your math and science majors. And in this anniversary year, more than a million people in China, Asia, and beyond have logged on to your web site. At the dawn of a new century, this university is leading China into the future.
I come here today to talk to you, the next generation of China's leaders, about the critical importance to your future of building a strong partnership between China and the United States.
The American people deeply admire China for its thousands of years of contributions to culture and religion, to philosophy and the arts, to science and technology. We remember well our strong partnership in World War II. Now we see China at a moment in history when your glorious past is matched by your present sweeping transformation and the even greater promise of your future.
Just three decades ago, China was virtually shut off from the world. Now, China is a member of more than 1,000 international organizations -- enterprises that affect everything from air travel to agricultural development. You have opened your nation to trade and investment on a large scale. Today, 40,000 young Chinese study in the United States, with hundreds of thousands more learning in Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America.
In modern life we have many inventions.Thesemachines are very useful.Theycan make things better and faster than people.
A washing machine can help us wash clothes.We have more time to do that wewant to doduring this time.A printing machine prints a lot of books,newspapersand other things qiickly.
Buses,bikes,cars,trains,planes and shipshelr us travel faster thanbefore.The compter is wonderful machine.
It is one of the most important inventions.Today it is used in manyways.
It can store innformations and work out math problems millions of timesfaster than a person can.
In a few years,the computer may touch the lives of everyone.Even people infaraway villages.
Good evening ,Ladies and Gentlemen:
Thank you very much for choosing to come in such a cold night.Today my topic is about choice and process.A research shows that a man has to make 73 choices one day.With so many choices one day, people easily get so confused and afraid of making wrong choice that they hesitate and finally miss the true part of life. In my opinion, the following part is of much more importance than the choice. There is no absolute right or wrong choice but wonderful or boring life, which the process makes the difference.
Life is a box of chocolate,you never know what you will get. Forrest Gump made no decision by and for himself but he accomplished great success with his strong will in the process. The process is not the road itself but the attitudes and feelings ,the caution, courage and persistance we have as we encounter new experience and unexpected obstacles. Take myself as an example, I changed my major when I became a postgraduate. After the choice,days have been harsh for me.I cannot understand the new lessons at all. For they are closely related to mathmatics which I learned nothing about before. However wuth the belief that this is the great chance for me to experience new ideas and challenge myself,I persisted. I asked for help from every channel and reorgonized my life. Gradually I could understand some parts and even found maths interesting.Moreover, I learned to act instead of complaining. In retrospect,the choice left no trace in my mind but the happiness and bitterness of the past four months becomes an unforgetable experience in my life.
NO matter what the choice is, enjoy the process. In the process, your potential will be inspired and new discoveries,improvement and progress will come to you. These are the most beautiful sceneries and only on the way can you see it.These make your life colorful.
There is no need and I donnot want to judge whether it right or wrong for me to be here,but I congratulate to myself for I gain and enjoy this fantastic experience. So my dear friends,never worry about your choice and enjoy the process. I am sure you will get something new and intersting tonight after you chose to come here. Thank you!
good morning, ladies and gentlemen,
last summer, i volunteered(动词) to work as an english teacher in a primary school for children of migrant workers. to be accurate, i didn't volunteer. i was dragged in literally. when my friends first hit upon the idea of this project. i was all against it. 'what?' to spend my vacation standing in the heat yelling at a bunch of nine-year-olds who couldn't even speak proper mandarin chinese? and besides. there's no pay for my toil. no. i am definitely not going. my friends twisted my arms to have me join them.
unexpectedly，the first lesson i taught turned out a lesson for me. the moment i stepped into the shabby classroom. i was touched by the loud, respectful voices in unison. 'good morning teacher !' instead of fooling around, the children were thirsty for knowledge and efficient in absorbing everything i was able to give them. this made me despise myself for i hadn't even prepared for the class. during the break. i leaned over the squeaky desk, chatting with a sweaty boy in the front row. "without air-conditioning, it's really hot here. are you tired?" not at all. said he. shaking his head. it's fine here. my dad builds asphalt roads. that is really tiring and hot.
as summer advanced. my enthusiasm as a teacher grew. i prepared my lesson carefully and even used some methods my teachers used. i organized many group activities to give the kids fun. strangely enough the heat was also becoming less and less unbearable. soon, my one-month volunnteer came to an end. when i was leaving my last class, i turned back and saw smiling faces and waving hands. never before had i ever had such a feeling of sadness. which was, nevertheless, mixed with a sense of enrichment, fulfillment and happiness. i was paid for my work, amply paid, not in terms of money, but something more valuable.
my english was improved, i was able to teach it, although not very professional. i learned about the grassroots-level society. inside myself a heart is growing. a heart that not only beats for myself. but cares for others as well. the volunteer work gave me a precious little chance of saying thanks. to people like the little boy's father who construct highways and undergrounds, build up modern skyscrapers, and make our cities more and more beautiful. to help the children with their english was all i could do at present to show my gratitude to these unsung heroes. the world may not have been fair to them. so privileged and blessed people like me make their life better. whatever i do for them, however, i know it can't be compared with what they have done to improve the quality of life in our cities. ladies and gentlemen. now i realize that voluntary shouldn't be just a one-time personal experience. it should be a lifetime activity of everybody. many of us are now offering assistance to the needy and to each other and our efforts have indeed made a difference schooling,---- or caring for the elderly in nursing homes, and helping out in 20xx beijing olympics, will not only contribute to the harmony of the world but elevate ourselves as well. emerson once said, "it's one of the most beautiful compensations of this life no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself" he was right. i hear that my university is going to organize another voluntary teaching program this summer. this time i won't be dragged in. i will volunteer. thank you !
早上好,女士们,先生们,
去年夏天,我自愿(动词)工作作为孩子的英语老师在一所小学的农民工。是准确的,我没有做志愿者。我被拖在字面上。当我的朋友第一次偶然发现这个项目的想法。我反对它。“什么?“度假站在一群9岁时的热大喊大叫的人甚至不能说正确的普通话吗?除此之外。没有支付我的辛劳。不。我绝对不会。我的朋友扭曲我的胳膊让我加入他们的行列。
出乎意料,第一节课我给了一个教训。当我走进一间破旧的教室。声,令我感动恭敬的声音。“老师早上好!”而不是鬼混,孩子们渴望知识和有效吸收我能够给他们的一切。这让我鄙视自己,我还没准备好。在休息期间。我俯身在吱吱作响的桌子,和前排的男孩。“这里没有空调,很热。你累了吗?“不是。他说。摇着头。这里很好。我爸爸建立沥青道路。这是很累人的,热。
随着夏天的先进。我作为老师的热情了。我认真准备功课,甚至使用一些方法我的老师使用。我组织了许多集体活动给孩子们的乐趣。奇怪的热量也变得越来越无法忍受。很快,我的月volunnteer结束。当我离开我的最后一节课,我回头,看见笑脸,挥舞着双手。我之前从来没有过这样一种悲伤的感觉。然而,与浓缩,混合满足和幸福。我是我的工作,充分报酬,不是钱,而是更有价值的东西。
提高我的英语,我可以教它,虽然不是很专业。我了解了基层社会。在自己的心正在增长。的心不仅为自己拍。但关心其他人。的志愿工作给了我一个宝贵的机会说谢谢。人们喜欢小男孩的父亲建造高速公路和地铁建立现代摩天大楼,让我们的城市越来越美丽。帮助孩子们与他们的英语都是我目前能做的给我的感谢这些无名英雄。他们可能没有被公平的世界。特权和幸福像我这样的人让他们的生活更美好。无论我做什么,但是,我知道它不能与他们所做的事情来改善我们的城市的生活质量。女士们,先生们。现在我意识到,自愿不应该只是一个一次性的个人经验。它应该是一个一生的活动每个人。我们中的许多人现在提供帮助穷人和彼此和我们的努力的确差异教育,——或者在疗养院照顾老人,并帮助在20xx年北京奥运会,将不仅有利于世界的和谐,提升自己。爱默生曾经说过:“人生最美丽的补偿之一,没有人能真诚地尽力帮助另一个没有帮助自己”他是对的。我听说我的大学会组织今年夏天另一个自愿的教学程序。这一次我不会拖。我将志愿者。谢谢你!
Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . Nobody grows old merely by a number of years . We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . Worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust . Whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living . In the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
When the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80. Thank you!
青春
青春不是指岁月，而是指心态。粉嫩的脸，红润的唇，矫健的膝并不是青春。青春表现在意志的坚强与懦弱。想象的丰富与苍白、情感的充沛与贫乏等方面。青春是生命深处清泉的喷涌。
青春是追求。只有当勇气盖过怯弱、进取压倒苟安之时，青春才存在。果如此，则60见之长者比20岁之少年更具青春活力。仅仅岁月的流逝并不能使他们衰老。而一旦抛弃理想和信念，则垂垂老也。
岁月只能使皮肤起皱。而一旦丧失生活的激情，则连灵魂枯老，使人生枯如死水，毫无活力。
60岁长者也好，16岁少年也罢，每个人的内心深处都渴望奇迹，都如孩子一般眨着期待的双眼，期待着下一次，期待着生活的情趣，你我灵魂深处都有一座无线电中转站------只有你我年轻，则总能听到希望的呼唤，总能发出喜悦的欢呼，总能传达勇气的讯号，总能表现出青春的活力………
一旦青春的天线倒下，你的灵魂即为玩世不恭之雪、悲观厌世之冰覆盖;即使你年方20.其实你已垂垂老也。而只要你青春的天线高高耸起，就可以随时接收到乐观的电波-----即使你年过八旬，行将就木，而你却仍然拥有青春，你仍然年轻。
As you slowly open your eyes, look around , notice where the light comesinto 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 theair. Yes, yes, yes, it’s a new day, it’s a different day, and it’s a bright day!And most importantly, it is a new beginning for your life, a beginning where youare going to make new desicisions, take new actions, make new friends, and takeyour life to a totally unprecedented level! You know all this is real as long asyou are confident,passionate and committed! And you are confident, you arepassionate, 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 willshow your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take. You willfocus all your time and effort on the most important goals of your life. Youwill never succumb to challenges of hardships. You will never waver in yourpursuit 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 thingsin the world will open to you, but the key to that door is in your hand. Youmust do your part, you must faithfully follow the plans you make and take theactions you plan, you must never quit, you must never fear. I know you must doit, 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 mustdo it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed! I must do it! I can do it! Iwill do it! I will succeed! I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I willsucceed!
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.
In our life,there are many great inventions,such as the light,thepencil,the bag...At the age of 6,my father brought a car,he took me to school onthe first day of school.It was so exciting.I fell in love with this invention onthat day.The car can go anywhere and save time,but it also pullutes ourenvironment.I holp I can invent clean cars.I hope the cars will enter everyfamily,and I love cars best.
在我们的生活中，有许多伟大的发明，如光、铅笔、书包……6岁的时候，我爸爸有一辆车，他在开学的第一天带我去上学。这是如此令人兴奋。那天我爱上了这个发明。汽车可以去任何地方，可以节省时间，但它也会影响我们的环境。我想发明清洁汽车。我希望汽车能进入每个家庭，而且我最喜欢汽车。
What is my favorite invention?
We knew there had been many inventions at the last century, for example,electric light bulb, telephone, phonograph, mimeograph machine, automobile,airplane, atomic weapon, computer and so on. What is my favorite invention?
Personally, my favorite invention should be computer. In the old days, manyscientists took much time to calculate and deal with research data, so theeffective time in doing research was relatively shortened. For millions of timesof calculating per second by computer, the researchers may have enough time tostudy more important issues. The processing of experiment results became verysimple and easy. Aren’t those all evidences that the computer is one of thegreatest inventions in the last century, are those?
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 princess in 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.
