Between the darkness of earth and heaven she was burning fiercely upon adisc of purple sea shot by the blood-red play of gleams; upon a disc of waterglittering and sinister.
A high, clear flame, an immense and lonely flame, ascended from the ocean,and from its summit the black smoke poured continuously at the sky. She burnedfuriously, mournful and imposing like a funeral pile kindled in the night,surround-ed by the sea, watched over by the stars.
A magnificent death had come like a grace, like a gift, like a reward tothat old ship at the end of her laborious days. The surrender of her weary ghostto the keeping of stars and sea was stirring like the sight of a glorioustriumph.
The masts fell just before daybreak, and for a moment there was a burst andturmoil of sparks that seemed to fill with flying fire the night patient andwatchful, the vast night lying silent upon the sea.
译文
在黑暗的天地之间，船在熊熊燃烧，周围海面在血红的火光的照耀下呈紫色，闪闪发亮，杀气腾腾。
一个高大、明亮、孤独的巨大火柱在海面上升起，火柱的顶端不停地朝空中喷着黑烟。船轰轰烈烈地燃烧着，极为悲壮，恰似在黑夜里点燃的火葬柴堆，由大海护卫，由星星照看。
这艘老破船度过了辛苦的一生，最终迎来了辉煌的死亡，如同蒙受天恩，如同领赏获奖。它将自己疲惫的灵魂交给了星星和大海，这一幕真像壮观的胜利庆典一样令人激动。
桅杆在黎明将至时倒下，刹那间火星四处乱迸，飞舞的火花似乎一下子洒满了耐心看护的夜空，洒满了海面上那浩淼静谧的夜空。
Saying goodbye to childhood,we step into another important time in the pace of young,facing new situations,dealing with different problems..... everyone has his ownunderstanding of young,it is a period of time of beauty and wonders,only after you have experienced the sour ,sweet ,bitter and salty can you really become a person of significance.thre time of young is limitted,it may pass by without your attention,and when you discover what has happened ,it is always too late.grasping the young well means a better time is waiting for you in the near future,or the situation may be opposite . having a view on these great men in the history of hunmanbeing,they all made full use of their youth time ,to do things that are useful to society,to the whole mankind,and as a cosquence ,they are remembered by later generations,admired by everyone.so do something in the time of young,although you may not get achievements as these greatmen did ,though not for the whole word,just for youeself,for those around! the young is just like blooming flowers,they are so beautiful when blooming,they make people feel happy,but with time passing by,after they withers ,moet people think they are ugly.and so it is the same with young,we are enthusiastic when we are young,then we may lose our passion when getting older and older.so we must treasure it ,don't let the limitted time pass by ,leaving nothing of significance.
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 freshness of 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. Whatabout yours? I wondered whether we could see our future in this way. Well, let’smake a fist. Where is our future? Where is our love, career, and life? Tellme.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 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。"
Melody of Youth
Ladies and gentlemen:
Good morning! I am very glad to stand here and share the topic of “youth” with you. I come from and my name is maxfu. Today my topic is “Melody of Youth”.
Some people say that youth is a rising sun, carries infinite hope and irradiates dazzling light.
Some people say that youth is a ball of blaze, flickers the flame of passion, dances the melody of youth.
Some people say that youth is a roaring river, bursts out the voice of confidence, flows the boldness of youth.
Some people say that youth is a fresh willow, has not only the endless tenderness, but also the iron will.
It’s true. Youth is ought to be a life with great persistence, which is full of hope, enthusiasm, assurance, belief and keep striving during all your life.
Since we know how wonderful the youth is, how can we build our own youth wonderful?
Firstly, I think you should set an ambition. Sam Walton has told us: High expectation is the key to everything. Ideals are the navigation mark and ambitions are the power for our striving.
Secondly, I think you should think more. Look before you leap, we are impetuous, if we consider everything calmly; there’s nothing that we can not do successfully.
Thirdly, I think you should work hard. An idle youth， a needy age. When we are young we are supposed to struggle, to do everything by ourselves so that we can get more experience for our future. As it’s said the beautiful rainbow always appears after a ding-on and the wealthy harvest always comes from laborious tillage.
Lastly, I think you should have a mood of optimism. Being positive, when we meet the frustration, can help us learn how to he stronger. Cause we are young, there’s no fail if only we try it again. Don’t get dizzy with success, and don’t get upset with failure.
By the way, being in youth doesn’t only mean you are young at your age. Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind. 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.
Youth is a painting, which engraves by magnificent and wonderful color. Youth is a song, which resounds with brightness and sweetness. When we are provided with passion and calm consideration, clinging goals and keep striving during all of our life. We can sooner or later have a perfect youth, a regretless youth, and make our melody of youth more and more wonderful!
That’s all. Thank you!
Let's take steps to banish some of the most common negative thoughts manyof us repeat to ourselves. Being in a negative space is harmful to our overallwell-being, because what you dwell on can easily become self fulfilling if youdon't change your mindset.
1.I'm not good enough.
This type of negative thought that can apply to many categories. Maybe youdon't think you're a good enough mother or good at a sport. Even if you findyourself lacking in something, there's no need to keep repeating it to yourself.The human brain is an incredible thing. Be inspired by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor,Harvard-trained neuroscientist who suffered a stroke that left her unable towalk, read, write, talk, or remember her previous life. Dr. Taylor took eightyears to recover and has since then written a best-selling book about herexperience and appeared on Oprah. Keep on working toward something, and watchthe leaps and bounds you'll make.
让我们一起行动起来，消灭那些我们经常告诉自己的消极想法吧!如果你不改变想法，而是一味地沉浸在消极的念头中，那么，我们的整个身心就会受到影响，因为“噩梦”也会成真。
我不够好。
这种消极想法有很多类型。比如你认为自己不是个称职的妈妈或不擅长运动。即使你真的发现了自己的弱点，也没必要对自己不断复述。人脑是神奇的。吉尔泰勒就是个激励的好典型，她是哈佛大学的神经系统学专家，中风后她就失去了行走、阅读、书写、交谈的能力了，甚至还失忆了。她花了八年的时间复原，用自己的经历写了畅销书，还上了奥普拉的节目。坚持做一件事，亲眼见证自己的变化。
2.No one cares about me.
To accurately say that your family and friends don't care about you wouldbe a very rare situation. Maybe you're being too negative and overlooking thegestures of love they show you. They don't even have to be big gestures, butit's the little things they do for you that count. And people may be reacting tothe energy you're putting out; perhaps you think they don't care about you soyou don't make any effort in your relationships. Start showing people you care,so they can show you back in kind. And if you don't have good relationships withthe people you know, what's stopping you from making new friends?
没人关心我。
家人朋友都不关心你，这种情况其实不太常见。可能你过于消极的想法使你忽略了他们对你表达的爱。他们甚至并不需要为你做什么惊天动地的大事，正是一些小事才真正打动人心。或者你觉得没人关心你，所以无需再经营人际关系，但其实也许人们只有在感知到你的付出后，才会对你进行回报;关心别人，别人才会关心你。如果你和周围人的关系处理不好，为何不结交些新朋友?
3.I really dislike this person.
If you dislike a person in your work or personal life, focusing on her badqualities is not going to make things better. You need to let go of yourassumptions about her and know that she is human too, which means she makesmistakes. Either you move on and stop thinking and talking about her, or learnto approach her or think about her in a positive manner. Focus on her goodqualities, and repeat them to yourself instead of honing in on the unpleasantthings.
我真的不喜欢这个人。
如果工作或生活中有你讨厌的人，只关注她的缺点有害无益。你需要放下对她的所有成见，告诉自己她也是个人，也有犯错的时候。要么就不再谈论她和想着她，要么学着去接近她，或想想她好的一面。多想想她的优点，不要再专注于让你不开心的事情。
4.Why is she better off?
Comparing yourself to someone else is never productive or positive. There'salways going to be someone who is younger, prettier, smarter, or richer thanyou. If you keep coveting what someone else has, then this may cause you to beresentful of them, which will open a whole other negative can of worms.Remember, what they don't have is your whole package. Be appreciative of whatyou have, because if you want to play the comparison game, remember that thereare people who are also worse off than you are.
为什么她比我好?
和别人比较永远不是有效率和积极的表现。总有比你年轻，漂亮，聪明，富有的人。如果你始终关注别人拥有什么，会带来你对他们的恨意，随即带来更多消极的想法。记住，你所拥有的也是他们所没有的。珍惜你所拥有的东西，如果真的想和别人比较，也别忘了总有比你差的人。
5.I'll never reach my goal.
If you think you're not going to be able "get there," think again. Thereare many people who are worse off and have overcome bigger obstacles than whatyou are facing. Take, for example, Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius, an amputeewho overcame his handicap to compete in the Olympics against his able-bodiedpeers. Everything is within your reach as long as you work hard and have a apositive attitude.
我永远无法达到目标。
如果你认为自己达不到，再想想。比你差的人比比皆是，他们遇到的困难也比你的更大。比如，奥运会短跑选手刀锋战士奥斯卡·皮斯托利斯，一个被截肢的运动员，战胜了自己的阻碍，在其他健壮的对手中脱颖而出赢得了奥运会的冠军。只要你努力付出，有着积极的信念，任何事都能够做到。
The youth is any youth is the entire life travel stands a most gorgeousstation, is a most marvelous station, is a brightest year station. The youthbreeds the inexhaustible energy to mine, excavates, releases. Each life all isbeautiful, the smallest flower cannot refuse to open.
The “green hill cannot block from, east flows after all. So long as \ “weideal also in, so long as our not qingyan giving up, so long as we smile faceall, we can raise the life well as before the sail.
We are May Huahai, should hug the time with the youth; We are the sun whichinaugurates, will be supposed to light the future with the life.
青春是什么青春是整个人生旅站中最绚丽的一站,是最奇妙的一站,是最灿烂的年一站.青春孕育着无穷尽的能量去开采,去挖掘,去释放.每一个生命都是美丽的,最小的花也不会拒绝开放."青山遮不住,毕竟东流去."只要我们理想还在,只要我们不轻言放弃,只要我们去微笑面对一切,我们依旧能更好地扬起生命的风帆.我们是五月的花海,就该用青春拥抱时代;我们是初开的太阳,就该用生命来点燃未来.
Is being young better than being old? Depending on what it means to be young, and what it means to be old, the answer will vary. But assuming we are talking in general, my answer is yes. When a person gets older, he loses his motivation to be active in society, explore more, and experience things he has not experienced before. This is why being young is better than being old. Young people are motivated to be successful in their lives, faced with less complicated problems, and have more opportunities to become who they want to be than when they are older.
Dream flying
Our ordinary life is a dream, from the very moment of landing, we are a dream to come! Similarly, we left this world at the time, it will also be left with their own dreams. Call in the dream, we gradually grew up thinking of gradually mature, and have learned more and more, understand more and more. Our dream is also more and more content, more and more rich. One can not forget that book title mountain crossing the sea during the day and night; not forget that the coexistence of a bitter years of joy; not forget that a bit more earnest remainding respectable mentor taught ... ... 。
The face of the past, we open their minds and hearts of the door, bathed in sunlight to accept and listen to exhort the time, we dream of flying. Is to achieve the dream of the cornerstones of long-term vision; the dream is the beginning of the power savings; dream world is a necessary condition for rational; dream Qijia country is the premise of the world is flat. To this end, the respect of ethics, education can be clearly responsible for, love. We will be ready at all times ... ... Singing rooster dawn broke through the silence, awakened the dream of youth, the old lamp that lit the lamp immortal, with the aid of a weak good care of the light heavy luggage, embark on a new journey began. Eastern rising sun, leaving a string attached to their native land is the footprints of the feelings and give up. Goodbye dear land, we have our dreams, we all need to face new. The rudder has been the fate into their own hands, taking their own route. Believe in yourself and you work hard, must be clear after dark. To do the masters of time, for every seconds, when the ship set sail hard, you are ready? Show your style and create brilliant tomorrow. said that the sky did not leave traces of the birds, but I have been over. Is an eagle, it is necessary to fly across the sky, is a tree, it is necessary to cast a time, the courage to go flying, the courage to go into, you dream of flying, I believe you will be more brilliant tomorrow, tomorrow you will be more exciting. Cherish the present, should grasp the opportunity. Friends, the dream of flying now, let us gather in the glory of that day.
My Dream
I dream of being a doctor.
My mother is a doctor. She always has to work extra hours and comes home late and tired. She has to go to the hospital immediately any time she is needed, no matter how late it is at night. When I was very little and still in primary school, I once asked her why she chose such a boring and hard job. She answered with a smile, “Yes I am sometimes very tired but seeing my patients getting better and better makes me happy from the bottom of my heart.”
As I grow up, I gradually come to understand her words and realize doctors are noble. I made up my mind to be a doctor when I was in junior school and this has never changed since then.
I really hope to see a world where there is no cancer, no Aids, no fatal disease, no one suffering from illness. But this is only a fantasy. What about the reality? There are still many many people who are faced with disastrous disease and suffering from constant pain. There are still many many people living in miserable condition and live miserably. There are still many many people dying of cancer and leaving the beautiful world reluctantly. All those things make me feel sad because I think everyone has the right to live . I want to help the sick and reduce their pain as much as I can. I want to bring a healthy body to the patients and save their lives as many as I can. I want to see people cured ,living happily with their families and friends after my treatment. So I want to be a doctor ,an angel in white.
When I become a doctor, I will cherish each life regardless of the races, sexes, ages, positions and occupations. I will do every bit to cure the incurable.
I already have a dream in my heart,so I have to make every effort to realize it.As a high school student now,I will seize every chance to study hard,arm myself with knowledge, prepare myself for the future and strive for my dreams. I will be determined, face the reality bravely and not surrender to any problems I meet.
Is’s like Gothe says,“The important thing in life is to have a great aim and be determined to attain it.”Being a doctor is my dream. I think it is simple but meanful.
The government and people of China have always admired the purposes and principles of the Olympic spirit and supported the efforts made by the Olympics in promoting world peace. The Chinese government and people are doing our utmost in preparation for the 20xx Olympics in Beijing. It is our hope to make it a grand gathering that will carry forward the Olympic spirit, promote world peace and enhance the friendship among people of the world, so that the Olympic spirit will flourish once again, this time in China, an oriental country with an ancient civilization.
1、Maintain a good attitude of tolerance towards people , the students are friendly to each other, to create a harmonious interpersonal relationships.
2、 We should promote a vibrant style of the team, a real study , the unity displayed a style of class and diligence to make personal style in a good environment. The students forge ahead and to the ideal of hard work. Learning positive, thereby creating a harmonious atmosphere for education.
With the development of society, harmony becomes the theme of this time. Everyone is doing his best to make the surroundings harmonious. As a member of our campus, we should take action in building the harmonious campus.
Here are some suggestions. First, treat people sincerely. We should be ready to help each other when someone is in trouble. Second, behave yourself. Keep our environment clean and take good care of every tree and every flower. Third, try to be polite. When we meet someone we know, a “hello” is good enough. Then, we can gain their respects for us.
Of course, there are still a lot of things we can do to build the harmonious campus. Anyway, doing something good to our campus is our duty. Let’s do it from now on.
teachers, dear classmates:
Everybody is good!
The title of my speech is "the hardness of life"
The desert, a tree stand up, show an image of a monument.
Castle peak, tree stood up, together is a grand Great Wall.
The long river, all the trees stood up, compose into a dragon's glory.
We are a symbol of the too much, and deducing the too much. But I believe that my image, is by no means "like a hand if soft Ti, skin coagulate fat," Lin daiyu, also is not the unkempt appearance ", ragged "modern" Sue a beggar ". We as a symbol of hope and vitality. So we show in front of others should be clothes without pleats, face no scale between the gestures, polite gentleman with a heroic spirit, full of vigor and vitality of the modern image of new youth, an integrated into the embodiment of the spirit of nature.
Someone once said, life is a kind of hardness, integrity and dignity are propping up the bones of the hardness of life. , is "better to die when life is a disgrace", "not the kui on day, open and aboveboard and feel no qualms over to the ground", this is has always been China's traditional virtue. Li bai's "Ann can bow and scrape, make me not happy yan" an atmosphere verse will again let those people who have no self-respect shame? Loss of self-esteem is the man who is a good for nothing, and we as the vanguard of The Times, if always indulge in the dark, or to do a pierced my hero, a blooming flower in the wind and rain in the steel roses. The answer, is self-evident.
Again desolate desert there is also a monument stands, castle peak and spotless, also has the Great Wall, the water calm again, there is also a dragon lying. And time again how, our image and our glory remains the same. Because of our pride, because we have confidence, because we have a fresh life. And because of this, the bank is leisurely, just the vast desert, castle peak to evergreen, the hardness of life forever.
the teacher the classmates:
everybody is good!
the bird because chose the blue sky, fly to indulge in; flowing streamsbecause choose the sea, to indulge in; the pine because chose dangerouscompleted, just shows the tenacity of life; flowers because chose bursting, justshow the beauty of life. and i chose to fly because it is over, just have everdream of.
journey in the past, whether you have that laughter, owns a sunshine, ithas become the eternal memory, coupled with a lock will it closed up! in frontof us, new teachers, new classmates, new journey, new dreams, new life is beingspeared out, in the face of all this, what should we do. because of the crueltyof reality, we will incarnate as a knight, erase the chest trauma, wipe away thepast glory, take our once, ready to go, the aim of the new semester is thebeginning of our new journey!
dream is our map to success, only to pay action, a solid pace, we can letus to reach the other shore of success. determine our goal, will be for the sakeof his hard work. when aim high! we have to make long don't always aspireto.
life is a pursuit of the ideal, the ideal is the light of life, lost therole of the light, will lose the courage of life. therefore, only adhere to thelofty ideals in life, not in the ocean of life lost. tolstoy to the ideal oflife is divided into a lifetime of ideal, a phase of the ideal, the ideal of oneyear, one month's ideal, even one day, one hour, one minute of ideal.
the classmates, let us build our faith, flying dream, you will be able tobe reached with it a beautiful place. set up the belief, flying dream, you willhave a more brilliant tomorrow. let the dream fly, let faith flowering.
Melody of Youth
Ladies and gentlemen:
Good morning! I am very glad to stand here and share the topic of “youth” with you. I come from and my name is maxfu. Today my topic is “Melody of Youth”.
Some people say that youth is a rising sun, carries infinite hope and irradiates dazzling light.
Some people say that youth is a ball of blaze, flickers the flame of passion, dances the melody of youth.
Some people say that youth is a roaring river, bursts out the voice of confidence, flows the boldness of youth.
Some people say that youth is a fresh willow, has not only the endless tenderness, but also the iron will.
It’s true. Youth is ought to be a life with great persistence, which is full of hope, enthusiasm, assurance, belief and keep striving during all your life.
Since we know how wonderful the youth is, how can we build our own youth wonderful?

Thirdly, I think you should work hard. An idle youth， a needy age. When we are young we are supposed to struggle, to do everything by ourselves so that we can get more experience for our future. As it’s said the beautiful rainbow always appears after a ding-on and the wealthy harvest always comes from laborious tillage.
Lastly, I think you should have a mood of optimism. Being positive, when we meet the frustration, can help us learn how to he stronger. Cause we are young, there’s no fail if only we try it again. Don’t get dizzy with success, and don’t get upset with failure.

That’s all. Thank you!
尊敬的各位评委、亲爱的同学们：
大家上午好!很高兴今天能够站在这里和大家一起讨论“青春”。我是来自XX级XX班的maxfu，我今天演讲的题目是“青春的旋律”。
有的人把青春比作一轮冉冉升起的红日，伴随着无限的希望，散发出无限的光芒。
有的人把青春比作一簇熊熊燃烧的火焰，闪烁着激情的火苗，舞动着青春的旋律。
有的人把青春比作奔腾的江河，迸发出自信的咆哮，流淌着青春的无畏。
有的人把青春比作翠绿的垂柳，拥有无限的柔嫩却又有着内在的坚韧。
诚然，青春就应当是一段充满了无限希望、伴随着火热激情、怀揣着一份自信、抱定一个信念——坚持不懈的人生。
如此的青春既然这么美好，我们到底应当如何去打造呢?
首先，青春需要目标。沃尔顿曾说过：“远大的理想是开启万物的钥匙。”理想是我们前进的航标，目标是我们奋斗的动力。
其次，青春需要思考。三思而后行，年轻的我们是血气方刚的一代，当我们用冷静的思考去面对人生中的一切，还有什么事做不成、办不到的呢!
再者，青春需要努力。少壮不努力，老大徒伤悲。年轻的时代，就是一个应当努力奋斗的年代，通过自己的打拼去积累今后的人生阅历，去历练自己。要知道迷人的彩虹出自大雨的洗礼，丰硕的果实来自辛勤的耕耘。
最后，青春需要有良好的心态。做任何事情都要一个好的心态，遇到了挫折就要学会坚强，因为青春没有失败，只要你再次努力。有一句话叫做“得一时淡然，失一时坦然。”
青春是一幅画，镌刻着瑰丽、浪漫的色彩;青春是一首歌，回荡着欢快、美妙的旋律。当我们用青春的激情，冷静的思考，执着的追求朝着远大的目标不懈努力之后，我想我们一定能够打造出一个美好的青春，一个无悔的青春，让我们的青春旋律更加绚烂多彩!
Saying goodbye to childhood,we step into another important time in the pace of young,facing new situations,dealing with different problems……
everyone has his ownunderstanding of young,it is a period of time of beauty and wonders,only after you have experienced the sour ,sweet ,bitter and salty can you really become a person of significance.thre time of young is limitted,it may pass by without your attention,and when you discover what has happened ,it is always too late.grasping the young well means a better time is waiting for you in the near future,or the situation may be opposite .
having a view on these great men in the history of hunmanbeing,they all made full use of their youth time ,to do things that are useful to society,to the whole mankind,and as a cosquence ,they are remembered by later generations,admired by everyone.so do something in the time of young,although you may not get achievements as these greatmen did ,though not for the whole word,just for youeself,for those around!
the young is just like blooming flowers,they are so beautiful when blooming,they make people feel happy,but with time passing by,after they withers ,moet people think they are ugly.and so it is the same with young,we are enthusiastic when we are young,then we may lose our passion when getting older and older.so we must treasure it ,don't let the limitted time pass by ,leaving nothing of significance.
thirty college students across the country attended the tenth 21st centurycup national english speaking contest in beijing on april 10. eventually, xiapeng, from nanjing university was named the champion. the second and thirdplaces went to zhang jing, a sophomore from china foreign affairs university,and zhang a xu, from hong kong polytechnic university, respectively. more than1000 college students in beijing are lucky birds to listen to the speeches onthe spot in friendship hotel.

i’m studying in a city that’s famous for its walls. people who visit mycity are amazed at the imposing sight of its walls, especially when silhouettedagainst the setting sun with gold, shining streaks. the old, cracked bricks arecovered with lichens and the walls are weather-beaten guards standing still forcenturies.
our ancestors liked to build walls. they built walls in beijing, xi’an,nanjing and many other cities, and they built the great wall, which snakesacross half our country. they built walls to protect against enemies and evilspirits. this tradition has survived to this day: we still have many parks andschools walled off from the public.
for a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world tome.
my perceptions, however, changed after i made a hiking trip to the easternsuburbs of my city. my classmates and i were walking with some foreign students.as we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by tall trees, whichformed a wide canopy above our heads. suddenly one foreign student asked me,“where is the entrance to the eastern suburbs?”
“we’re already in the eastern suburbs,” i replied. he seemed taken aback,“i thought you chinese had walls for everything.” his remark set off a heateddebate. at one point, he likened our walled cities to “jails”, while i insistedthat the eastern suburbs were one of the many places in china that had nowalls.that debate had no winners, but i did learn a lot from this student. forinstance, he told me that some major universities like oxford and cambridge werenot surrounded by walls. i have to admit that we do have many walls in china,and as we develop our country, we must look carefully at them and decide whetherthey are physical or intangible. we will keep some walls but tear down thosethat impede our development.
let me give another example.
a year ago, when i was working on a term paper, i needed a book on businesslaw and found a copy in the law school library. however, the librarian coldlyrejected my request to borrow it, saying, “you can’t borrow this book, you’renot a student here.” in the end, i had to spend 200 yuan to buy a copy.meanwhile, the copy in the law school gathered dust on the shelf.
at the beginning of this semester, i heard that my university had startedto think of unifying its libraries and linking them to libraries at otheruniversities, so my experience wouldn’t be repeated. barriers would be replacedby bridges. an inter-library loan system would give us access to books from anylibrary. with globalization and china integrated into the world, i believe manyof these intangible walls will be knocked down.
i know that globalization is a controversial issue, and it is hard to saywhether it is good or bad. but one thing is for sure: it draws our attention tochina’s tangible and intangible walls and forces us to examine their role in themodern world.
and how about the ancient walls of mine and other cities? should we tearthem down? definitely not. my city, like beijing and other cities, is actuallymaking a great effort to preserve the walls. these walls attract historians,archaeologists, and many schoolchildren who are trying to study our history andcultural heritage. walls have become bridges to our past and to the rest of theworld. if the ancient builders of these walls were still alive today, they wouldbe proud to see such great changes in the role of their walls. they are nowbridges that link east and west, south and north, and all countries of theworld. our cultural heritage will survive globalization.
Ladies and Gentlemen , Good afternoon! I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. I hope you will like it , and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.
First I want to ask you some questions:
1、Do you know what is youth?
2、How do you master your youth?(
Youth
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!
teachers, dear classmates:
Everybody is good!
The title of my speech is "the hardness of life"
The desert, a tree stand up, show an image of a monument.
Castle peak, tree stood up, together is a grand Great Wall.
The long river, all the trees stood up, compose into a dragon's glory.
We are a symbol of the too much, and deducing the too much. But I believe that my image, is by no means "like a hand if soft Ti, skin coagulate fat," Lin daiyu, also is not the unkempt appearance ", ragged "modern" Sue a beggar ". We as a symbol of hope and vitality. So we show in front of others should be clothes without pleats, face no scale between the gestures, polite gentleman with a heroic spirit, full of vigor and vitality of the modern image of new youth, an integrated into the embodiment of the spirit of nature.
Someone once said, life is a kind of hardness, integrity and dignity are propping up the bones of the hardness of life. , is "better to die when life is a disgrace", "not the kui on day, open and aboveboard and feel no qualms over to the ground", this is has always been China's traditional virtue. Li bai's "Ann can bow and scrape, make me not happy yan" an atmosphere verse will again let those people who have no self-respect shame? Loss of self-esteem is the man who is a good for nothing, and we as the vanguard of The Times, if always indulge in the dark, or to do a pierced my hero, a blooming flower in the wind and rain in the steel roses. The answer, is self-evident.
Again desolate desert there is also a monument stands, castle peak and spotless, also has the Great Wall, the water calm again, there is also a dragon lying. And time again how, our image and our glory remains the same. Because of our pride, because we have confidence, because we have a fresh life. And because of this, the bank is leisurely, just the vast desert, castle peak to evergreen, the hardness of life forever.
