thanks for your attention.
a common concept among some people is that opportunities are few. they always complain that opportunities never occur to them. they only admire those people who make a hit or succeed by seizing some opportunities, and always wonder why they are never given a good opportunity to show their talent.
another common notion is that there are opportunities everywhere. opportunity may occur to anybody at any time and under any circumstances as long as he/she keeps ma-ki-ng constant efforts. as a student, you can get to the top through your hard work. as a businessman, you can succeed through accurate calculation and with a complete certainty that you can make a profit.
in my opinion, opportunity favors only those who keep trying and who are ready for it. as the saying goes "god helps those who help themselves", so no matter whether there's opportunity or not, what we should do is to study, to learn and become learned people, only in this way can you seize your opportunity when it occurs. so never say there's no opportunity again, opportunities are around us.
Computers play an important role in the modern world. Today they are used in many areas of human activities, such as business, industry, science and education. I'm a primary school student. I always search for information on my PC, make PPT or type article with word software and sometimes listen to music, play games on the computer in the weekends. Sometimes I write e-mails to my friends on the computer, too. I often chat with people on-line. I usually do my homework on the computer, too, it's very easy.
I also enjoying watching cartoons on-line, because I can find my favorite cartoons easily, when I watching TV, I should wait the advertisement and watch the cartoons on time. But in computer, I can watch my favorite cartoons any time, and needn't wait for advertisements.I seldom buy things on the computer, because I don't know it. I sometimes go to the forums on the weekends, there are many people, and it's very interesting.
How about you, my friend?
电脑扮演着重要的角色在现代世界。今天他们被用在许多领域的人类活动,如商业、工业、科学和教育。我是一个小学学生。我总是在我的电脑搜索信息,制作PPT或类型的文章与词软件,有时听音乐,玩游戏在电脑上在周末。有时我在电脑上写电子邮件给我的朋友,。我经常与人在线聊天。我通常在电脑上做作业,也很简单。
我也喜欢看漫画在线,因为我可以很容易找到我最喜欢的漫画,我看电视的时候,我应该等待广告和看漫画。但在电脑,我可以随时看我最喜欢的漫画,不必等待广告。我很少在电脑上买东西,因为我不知道。在周末我有时去论坛,有很多人,很有趣。
你呢,我的朋友?
Stress comes in all shapes and size, and has become pervasive, it seems to penetrate everything and everybody, it's hard to get through a day without hearing or reading something about stress. Some doctors refer to stress as some kind of new plague. However, numerous surveys confirm that the problem has progressively risen since the 1980s. Why all the disorder? After all, stress has been around since Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, Stress is an unavoidable consequence of life. Without stress, there would be no life. However, just as distress can caw disease, there are good stresses that balance this, and promote wellness.
Increased stress results in increased productivity--up to a point. However, this level differs for each of us. It's very much like the stress on a violin string. Not enough produces a dull. harsh sound. Too much makes sharp, annoying noir, or causes the string to snap. However, just the right degree can create magnificent tones. Similarly, we all need to find the proper level of stress that promotes optimal performance, and enables us to make harmonious music. Good health is more than just the absence of illness. Rather, it is a very robust state of physical and emotional well being that acknowledges the importance and inseparability of mind/body relationships. In the next program. I hope you will join me in the pursuit of learning how to exploit stress, so that it can work for you. and make you more productive, rather than self-destructive.

ladies and gentleman，good evening！
it's my great honor to present this speech today。my name is peace and i am from class 1 of teaching chinese as a foreign language。 my topic today is "living at present is my top concern"。
we've often heard the famous words；“yesterday is history，tomorrow is mistery，but today is a gift，that's why it's called 'present' ”。indeed，rich or poor，every one is endowed with this most precious gift 。only by treasuring it and living to our fullest potential in the present，can we project our way forward to a bright and rewarding future。
Boys and girls,
May I have your attention,please?I have something to tell you on this subject.
Nowadays,many students go to surf the internet.Well,is it good or bad?I think there are advantages and disadvantages.
On one hand,we'll benefit from it.First,we can learn how to use the modern equipment-the computer.It can help us do many things efficiently.Computers can also offer you much information.Therefore,we can learn more knowledge.What's more,it can make us brighter.
On the other hand,it has some disadvantages.Some students are so addicted to it that they forget everything else.Others make friends on the internet,so they write to each other too often.Thus,they get on worse and worse with their studies.
In my opinion,we can surf the internet for a certain length of time in our winter and summer holidays.However,when in school,we should try our best not to go to the internet.
That's all.Thank you.
Recently our class has conducted a survey about “The Growth of Post-90's Generation". People have different opinions on it. Most people believe the post-90’s generation have an edge
over/are superior to others in that they are more independent in thinking, more ambitious, more confident and more enthusiastic. They are open to new ideas and ready to try new things, therefore, they are usually better informed. communicate. However, some argue that the post-90's generation are much too dependent on their parents or on teachers and they lack social experience. As a result, they are less able to overcome frustration. They do not focus on their studies as much and lack the sense of responsibility. Moreover, Besides, they cherish friendship and like to
they are weak in controlling themselves and often show no respect for others. As youth born in the 90s, we should be aware of our and responsibilities, and learn to be more independent. Only in this way can we be successful in the future.
译文：最近我们班进行了一项调查关于“90后的一代”的发展。人们有不同的意见。
大多数人认为90后的一代胜过/优于别人在思考,他们更独立,更宏伟,更自信,更热情。他们是开放的新 思想和准备尝试新事物,因此,他们通常更好的通知。此外,他们珍惜友谊,喜欢交流。 然而,一些人认为90后的一代太依赖他们的父母或老师,他们缺乏社会经验。因此,他们不太能够克服挫 折。他们不关注他们的研究,缺乏责任感。此外,他们脆弱的在控制自己,经常显示不尊重他人。 作为在 90 年代出生的青年,我们应该意识到我们的责任,并学会更加独立。只有用这种方法我们才能在 未来获得成功。
Knowledge is one thing, virtue is another; good sense is not conscience,refinement is not humility, nor is largeness and justness of view faith.Philosophy, however enlightened, however profound, gives no command over thepassions, no influential motives, no vivifying principles.
Liberal Education makes not the Christian, not the Catholic, but thegentleman. It is well to be a gentleman, it is well to have a cultivatedintellect, a delicate taste, a candid, equitable, dispassionate mind, a nobleand courteous bearing in the conduct of life--these are the connatural qualitiesof a large knowledge; they are the objects of a University; I am advocating, Ishall illustrate and insist upon them; but still, I repeat, they are noguarantee for sanctity or even for conscientiousness, they may attach to the manof the world, to the profligate, to the heartless, pleasant, alas, andattractive as he shows when decked out in them. Taken by themselves, they do butseem to be what they are not; they look like virtue at a distance, but they aredetected by close observers, and on the long run; and hence it is that they arepopularly accused of pretense and hypocrisy, not, I repeat, from their ownfault, but because their professors and their admirers persist in taking themfor what they are not, and are officious in arrogating for them a praise towhich they have no claim. Quarry the granite rock with razors, or moor thevessel with a thread of silk, then may you hope with such keen and delicateinstruments as human knowledge and human reason to contend against those giants,the passion and the pride of man.
My favourite animal is tortoise. tortoise walk not fast. but i like the tortoise. why? because, tortoise is a cute animal. it has a short tail and a four short foot. it has a little head and a hard shell. there are forty-five little and cute tortoises in my home. they like to play in the water. when they afraid of some thing.
They will run fast. they like to eat fish. i often buy some small fish for them to eat. they can catch the fish fast. first, they fake(假) sleep.
When the fish swim near their mouth. they catch the fish fast and bit the fish's head. so, the fish die. they can eat the fish. in winter. they like to sleep in the sand. when they sleep, they don’t eat any food.because they will hibernation. but, when they are thirsty. they come out of the sand. so, we must give water to them to drink.
I love the tortoise. i hate the eagle. because, the eagle often eat the tortoise with it sharp mouth.my favourite animal is tortoise.
In this symposium, better is it to only sit in silence. To express ones feelings as the end draws near is too intimate a task. That I would mention only one thought that comes to me as a listener-in: the riders in a race do not stop short when they reach the goal, there is a little finishing canter before coming to a standstill, there is time to hear the kind voice of friends, and to say to oneself, the work is done. But just as one says that, the answer comes, the race is over, but the work never is done while the power to work remains.
The canter that brings you to a standstill need not be only coming to rest; it cannot be while you still live. But to live is to function, that is all there is in living. So I end with a land from a Latin voice: death, death, clutches my ear, and says, live, I am coming.--By Oliver Wendell Holmes.
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。

告诉大家一个好消息——我们学校要在执信中学举办艺术节啦!
20xx年1月12日(星期四)，我左手捧着粉红色的艺术节邀请函，右手握着给表演同学们加油鼓劲儿的荧光棒，怀着激动的心情踏进了执信中学的大门。
当我随着人群走进执信中学的礼堂时，我看到了那一张张熟悉的面孔——我的同学们。他们每个人的脸上都洋溢着莫名的兴奋，可能是因为期盼已久的艺术节终于到来了吧!
在校长的开场白后，我们的艺术节终于正式开始了!
首先是一年级同学入少先队的仪式。等三位高年级的同学把红艳艳的队旗升上去之后，就开始宣誓。在宣誓时，同学们个个都神情专注，十分认真。然后，在大队辅导员的领导下，我们唱起了少先队队歌。
这次艺术节的节目真可以说是五花八门，有唱歌的、跳舞的、朗诵的、合唱的、管乐的……看得我们目不暇接。节目一个比一个精彩，观众们大声鼓掌、喝彩。其中，我最喜欢的，就是管乐了。
管乐队的同学们演奏的是周杰伦的《菊花台》和《牛仔很忙》。同学们在演奏的时候专心，把这两首曲子吹得很好听。把他们平时练就的本事展显得淋漓尽致。
这么精彩的艺术节，你有没有错过呢?
Should smoking be banned?
Different people have different opinions. Somesmokers think smoking is a kind of enjoyment, andthey could live without food but will die withoutsmoking. Also they said they have freedom ofsmoking and it has nothingto do with others.However a lot of non-smokers don't agree. In theiropinion, smoking is harmful to not onlysmokersthemselves but also public health especially thewoman and children. Therefore, many coutries have worked out lots to forbid smoking in publicplaces, such as cinemas, hospitals, stations etc. Nowadays, smokersmake up one quarter of theworld's population. If the problem of smoking is not dealt with seriously, human health will bein danger. So smoking should be banned in no time.
Good morning everybody!It's my honor to speak here,and I am very glad to share my topic with you. Then today I'd like to talk something about What we cannot afford to lose! During our lifetime we will meet wlth all kinds of difficulties,and most peple will feel depressed and then give up,while only a few people are able to adhere to the end .in my opinion ,to some degree, perseverance：[,p?:si'vi?r?ns] is one of most important things we should cherish ,which will finally contribute to our success.
There is a story I have ever read that In 1883, a creative engineer named John Roeblingwas inspired to build a spectacular：
[spek't?kjul? bridge connecting New York with Long Island. However bridge-building experts throughout the world thought that this was an impossible feat and told Roebling to forget the idea.but Roebling could not ignore the vision he had in his mind of this bridge. After much discussion the father and son developed concepts of how it could be accomplished and how the obstacles could be overcome. They hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.
The project started well, but a few months later a tragic accident made Washington injured, unable to walk or talor even move.
In spite of his handicap：['h?ndik?p],Washington was never discouraged and still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever. Finally the bridge was completed 13 years later .
Today the spectacular BrooklynBridge stands in all its glory as a tribute：['tribju:t] to the triumph ['traimf] of one man's indomitable：[in'd?mit?bl] spirit and his determination not to be defeated by circumstances.
After I read the story I realized that perseverance is much more important than many other things , And those who are optimistic and self-confident, and who enjoy doing something new, worry less about failure are the example we should learn from.
We need to appreciate the value in living, despite its many setbacks. Roads are for the journey, not the destination. Sunshine awaits those who keep the path!
It have been discussed for a long time that how to deal with the uncivilized behaviors during the travel, such as write on the place of historic interests, or claim to old trees. This kind of things happened in China more often than any other countries. What can we do to prevent those actions? Though we have advocate education of the tourists for years, the situation was not better than be imagined. In my opinion, we still have to encourage the education of our tourists, but with some change. For example, we shouldnot only disseminate Don t Do Sth. , but also with the reason and an explanation that it is not cool to sign names or words everywhere, in the contrary, we have to ashamed of that. Make a comparison between foreigners and us can also increase our consciousness.
它已经讨论了很长一段时间,如何处理在旅游不文明行为,如写在历史的地方利益,或声称老树。这种事情经常发生在中国比其他任何国家。我们可以做些什么来阻止这些行为呢?虽然我们多年来提倡教育游客,情况并不比被想象。在我看来,我们仍然需要鼓励的教育我们的游客,但有一些改变。例如,我们不应该只传播不做某事,但也和一个解释的原因是不酷签署名称或字无处不在,相反,我们必须感到羞愧。外国人之间做个比较,我们还可以增加我们的意识。
my name is sherry.i'm ohio.i'm a proud owner of a trucking company.second generation, woman-owned.our familybusiness is 50 years in the making.one of our challenges afterbecoming with one truck, now close to 100 drugs, and 150employees, some of our challenges are hiring qualified workforce.truck drivers and technicians, those are our challenges.finding skilled workers to fill those jobs, and the training they need, it is surprisingly difficult.do you have any thoughts on how we could solve this problem together as a nation to fill
Have you ever held a question in mind for so long that it becomes part of how you think? Maybe even part of who you are as a person? Well I’ve had a question in my mind for many, many years and that is: how can you speed up learning? Now, this is an interesting question because if you speed up learning you can spend less time at school. And if you learn really fast, you probably wouldn’t have to go to school at all.
Now, when I was young, school was sort of okay but I found quite often that school got in the way of learning so I had this question in mind: how do you learn faster? And this began when I was very, very young, when I was about eleven years old I wrote a letter to researchers in the Soviet Union, asking about hypnopaedia, this is sleep learning, where you get a tape recorder, you put it beside your bed and it turns on in the middle of the night when you’re sleeping, and you’re supposed to be learning from this.
A good idea, unfortunately it doesn’t work. But, hypnopaedia did open the doors to research in other areas and we’ve had incredible discoveries about learning that began with that first question. I went on from there to become passionate about psychology and I have been involved in psychology in many ways for the rest of my life up until this point. In 1981 I took myself to China and I decided that I was going to be native level in Chinese inside two years.
Now, you need to understand that in 1981, everybody thought Chinese was really, really difficult and that a westerner could study for ten years or more and never really get very good at it. And I also went in with a different idea which was: taking all of the conclusions from psychological research up to that point and applying them to the learning process. What was really cool was that in six months I was fluent in Mandarin Chinese and took a little bit longer to get up to native. But I looked around and I saw all of these people from different countries struggling terribly with Chinese, I saw Chinese people struggling terribly to learn English and other languages, and so my question got refined down to: how can you help a normal adult learn a new language quickly, easily and effectively?
Now this a really, really important question in today’s world. We have massive challenges with environment we have massive challenges with social dislocation, with wars, all sorts of things going on and if we can’t communicate we’re really going to have difficulty solving these problems. So we need to be able to speak each other’s languages, this is really, really important.
The question then is how do you do that. Well, it’s actually really easy. You look around for people who can already do it, you look for situations where it’s already working and then you identify the principles and apply them. It’s called modelling and I’ve been looking at language learning and modelling language learning for about fifteen to twenty years now.
And my conclusion, my observation from this is that any adult can learn a second language to fluency inside six months. Now when I say this, most people think I’m crazy, this is not possible. So let me remind everybody of the history of human progress, it’s all about expanding our limits.
In 1950 everybody believed that running one mile in four minutes was impossible and then Roger Bannister did it in 1956 and from there it’s got shorter and shorter. 100 years ago everybody believed that heavy stuff doesn’t fly. Except it does and we all know this. How does heavy stuff fly? We reorganise the materials using principles that we have learned from observing nature, birds in this case. And today we’ve gone ever further, so you can fly a car. You can buy one of these for a couple hundred thousand US dollars. We now have cars in the world that can fly. And there’s a different way to fly that we’ve learned from squirrels. So all you need to do is copy what a flying squirrel does, build a suit called a wing suit and off you go, you can fly like a squirrel.
No, most people, a lot of people, I wouldn’t say everybody but a lot of people think they can’t draw. However there are some key principles, five principles that you can apply to learning to draw and you can 2 actually learn to draw in five days. So, if you draw like this, you learn these principles for five days and apply them and after five days you can draw something like this. Now I know this is true because that was my first drawing and after five days of applying these principles that was what I was able to do. And I looked at this and I went ‘wow,’ so that’s how I look like when I’m concentrating so intensely that my brain is exploding. So, anybody can learn to draw in five days and in the same way, with the same logic, anybody can learn a second language in six months.
Hello, everyone! My name is “eye pen”. I am not a common pen. I am theprotector of students’ eyes. It is said that nowadays many, many children arewearing glasses. So I have been invented. I belong to Nancy. She is very anxiousbecause most of her friends become shortsighted. Ha ha! Then one day she had agood idea. She invented me. I don’t want to make her disappointed. I need to beresponsible to all the children.
You see, my body will turn red when you use me for over 30 minutes. It is awarning. And you should have a rest. In my head, there is a thermostat. Whenstudents use me to write, I’ll turn yellow when their heads are too close to thedesk. It is also a warning. Then the students should raise their heads.
I am so happy that students take me to school every day. I will be a goodeye protector and make students all have a good writing habit so that the numberof shortsighted students will be reduced.
Over the next five minutes, my intention is to transform your relationship with sound. Let me start with the observation that most of the sound around us is accidental, and much of it is unpleasant. (Traffic noise) We stand on street corners, shouting over noise like this, and pretending that it doesn't exist. Well, this habit of suppressing sound has meant that our relationship with sound has become largely unconscious.
There are four major ways sound is affecting you all the time, and I'd like to raise them in your consciousness today. First is physiological. (Loud alarm clocks) Sorry about that. I've just given you a shot of cortisol, your fight/flight hormone. Sounds are affecting your hormone secretions all the time, but also your breathing, your heart rate -- which I just also did -- and your brainwaves.
It's not just unpleasant sounds like that that do it. This is surf. (Ocean waves) It has the frequency of roughly 12 cycles per minute. Most people find that very soothing, and, interestingly, 12 cycles per minute is roughly the frequency of the breathing of a sleeping human. There is a deep resonance with being at rest. We also associate it with being stress-free and on holiday.
The second way in which sound affects you is psychological. Music is the most powerful form of sound that we know that affects our emotional state. (Albinoni's Adagio) This is guaranteed to make most of you feel pretty sad if I leave it on. Music is not the only kind of sound, however, which affects your emotions.
Natural sound can do that too. Birdsong, for example, is a sound which most people find reassuring. (Birds chirping) There is a reason for that. Over hundreds of thousands of years we've learned that when the birds are singing, things are safe. It's when they stop you need to be worried.
The third way in which sound affects you is cognitively. You can't understand two people talking at once ("If you're listening to this version of") ("me you're on the wrong track.") or in this case one person talking twice. Try and listen to the other one. ("You have to choose which me you're going to listen to.")
We have a very small amount of bandwidth for processing auditory input, which is why noise like this -- (Office noise) -- is extremely damaging for productivity. If you have to work in an open-plan office like this, your productivity is greatly reduced. And whatever number you're thinking of, it probably isn't as bad as this. (Ominous music) You are one third as productive in open-plan offices as in quiet rooms. And I have a tip for you. If you have to work in spaces like that, carry headphones with you, with a soothing sound like birdsong. Put them on and your productivity goes back up to triple what it would be.
The fourth way in which sound affects us is behaviorally. With all that other stuff going on, it would be amazing if our behavior didn't change. (Techno music inside a car) So, ask yourself: Is this person ever going to drive at a steady 28 miles per hour? I don't think so. At the simplest, you move away from unpleasant sound and towards pleasant sounds. So if I were to play this -- (Jackhammer) -- for more than a few seconds, you'd feel uncomfortable; for more than a few minutes, you'd be leaving the room in droves. For people who can't get away from noise like that, it's extremely damaging for their health.
And that's not the only thing that bad sound damages. Most retail sound is inappropriate and accidental, and even hostile, and it has a dramatic effect on sales. For those of you who are retailers, you may want to look away before I show this slide. They are losing up to 30 percent of their business with people leaving shops faster, or just turning around on the door. We all have done it, leaving the area because the sound in there is so dreadful.
I want to spend just a moment talking about the model that we've developed, which allows us to start at the top and look at the drivers of sound, analyze the soundscape and then predict the four outcomes I've just talked about. Or start at the bottom, and say what outcomes do we want, and then design a soundscape to have a desired effect. At last we've got some science we can apply. And we're in the business of designing soundscapes.
Just a word on music. Music is the most powerful sound there is, often inappropriately deployed. It's powerful for two reasons. You recognize it fast, and you associate it very powerfully. I'll give you two examples. (First chord of The Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night") Most of you recognize that immediately. The younger, maybe not. (Laughter) (First two notes of "Jaws" theme) And most of you associate that with something! Now, those are one-second samples of music. Music is very powerful. And unfortunately it's veneering commercial spaces, often inappropriately. I hope that's going to change over the next few years.
Good afternoon, class.
Many students like getting online very much. they think on the internet they can get some information, play some educational games and these games help them learn a lot. they can also make fris online.
But there is also something bad getting online. It takes students too much time, so they do worse in their lessons. Sping too much time online is also bad for their health. I don't think they should sp too much time getting online. I think they should put their hearts into their studies.

冬天是寒冷的。雪白的雪花铺满大地，到处银装素裹，世界是白色的。下雪时，人们要穿着厚厚的衣服，戴着围巾帽子，把自己严严实实地包裹住，看起来像一个个胖乎乎的大雪人。
冬天是好玩的。冬天，我们可以打雪仗，堆雪人。我们还可以去滑雪，听着风从耳边呼呼地吹过，感受到速度的乐趣，也可以痛痛快快的在雪地里打滚，摔上一跤也不会觉得疼。
冬天是香喷喷的。我们可以围在一起吃火锅，谈天说地。如果有朋友来了，我可以带他们去吃吃热乎乎的羊肉泡馍，也会带他们去夜市吃烧烤。
冬天是热闹的。过年时，大街小巷人群川流不息，处处挂着红彤彤的灯笼，贴着喜气的对联。白天，小朋友们可以放鞭炮，晚上，还可以欣赏到五颜六色的烟花，春节时，一家人团聚围在一起，欢欢乐乐，热热闹闹。

Independence Day 20xx Speech
Good morning India!
Today on 15th August 20xx India is celebrating its 67th Independence Day, and we Indians are proud to say we have owned our freedom 67 years old back. As we gather here today I take the opportunity to congratulate every student and teacher of this School/college a Happy Independence Day! I also take the opportunity of welcoming you our chief guest for today!
We have assembled here to celebrate our 67th Independence Day. As a citizen of India, I am so proud to talk to you about my mother India. On the night of August 14, 1947, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru rose to make a maiden speech in New Delhi, “When the world sleeps, India will wake to life and freedom.” Yes, India became free from the bondage of British rule. Now, India is the largest democratic country in the world. The country’s strength is to find, “Unity in diversity”. But, there are stray incidents that test her secularism but the people of India are ready to sacrifice anything for the cause of unity. Today we remember the great leaders who gave their lives for the nation’s freedom and prosperity. Dr. B.R.Ambedkar gave the longest written constitution to us. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru worked for an industrialized India. Gandhi Ji taught us Ahimsa and Non-violence. Subash Chandra Bose inducted courage in us. Swami Vivekanand gave us spiritual power. Yes, with these contributions; India will be the super power in the coming years. Our former President Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam called the children of India to dream to build a strong Nation with aim and perseverance. Indeed! This is not a word of a single man. It is word of one billionsouls.
Jai Hind!
What life is about
As we all know, the most important thing in life is our attitude towards it, tons of men have tried different ways of treating life, and some succeeded, some failed, and here are some of the tips they left us.
Life isn’t about keeping score. Life isn’t about your shoes or your hair or the color of your skin. In fact it’s not about if you have lots of friends or if you are alone, and it’s not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isn’t about that.
But life is about whom you love and who you hurt. It’s about how you feel about yourself. It’s about trust, happiness and compassion. It’s about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance and building confidence. It’s about what you say and what you mean. It’s about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. And we should always remember to be ourselves. Other might have things that we desire but being what we really are is the only trail leading to the true colors of life. Most of all, it’s about choosing to use your life to touch someone else’s in a way that could have never been achieved otherwise.
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers; we buy more but enjoy them less. We’ve learnt how to make a living but not a life, we’ve added years to life, but not life to years. And it is time for us to choose whether to make a difference in our life.
And these choices are what life is about.
生活的真谛
众所周知，关于生活最重要的我们对待生活的态度，不同的人以不同的方式对待生活，一些人成功了，一些人失败了。这里有一些关于生活的帖士给我们大家。
生活不是为了保持高分，生活也不仅仅是你的鞋子、你的发型和你的肤色。实际上，生活也不只是你拥有多少朋友，或者你是否孤独;生活也不仅仅意味着你被别人接受与否。生活并不仅仅是这些。
但是，生活是关于你所爱的和你所伤害的那些人。生活就是你对自己的所有感觉。它是关于信任、幸福和包容。它是你对朋友的支持和如何用爱来融化内心的憎恨。生活就是远离嫉妒、克服无知和建立信心。生活是关于你的言行和思想。
生活就是关注人的自身，而不是关注别人的拥有。而且我们必须记住保持我们的本色。虽然，生活的另一面令我们向往，但保持我们的本色是通往生活真谛的必由之路。总之，生活就是用你整个的生命去触摸其他人从未企及的选择。 在生活的长河中也常常令我们困惑和矛盾，我们拥有越来越高大的建筑，但我们也越来越缺乏耐心;我们购买的物质越来越多，但我们从中得到的快乐越来越少。我们学习如何活着但那却不是生活;人类的寿命越来越长，但有意义的生活并因此而延长。因此，现在正是我们选择使我们的人生变得不同凡响的时候了。初中英语演讲稿这些选择就是生活的真谛。

beauty usually refers to what appeals to the eye. a nice and well built girl is regarded as beautiful. a bunch of vigorous flowers are also considered as beautiful. a splendid waterfall coming down from a mountain is as well looked on as beautiful.
beauty also refers to what appeals to the mind. the virtue of the chinese nation-industry and bravery are taken as beautiful, because it helped to produce such a magnificent culture in the world. einstein's theory of relativity is also perceived as beautiful, for it explains many natural phenomena so perfectly.
beauty is around us. if you keep an eye or pay some attention, it is never difficult to find something beautiful somewhere about you. wonderful natural spots, historical relics,fine arts, splendid buildings, and kind people are just a few inches away.
as everyone knows, english is very important today. it has been used everywhere in the world. it has become the most common language on internet and for international trade. if we can speak english well, we will have more chance to succeed. because more and more people have taken notice of it, the number of the people who go to learn english has increased at a gh speed.but for myself, i learn english not only because of its importance and its usefulness, but also because of my love for it. when i learn english, i can feel a different way of tnking wch gives me more room to touch the world. when i read english novels, i can feel the pleasure from the book wch is different from reading the translation. when i speak english, i can feel the confident from my words. when i write english, i can see the beauty wch is not the same as our cnese...i love english, it gives me a colorful dream. i hope i can travel around the world one day. with my good english, i can make friends with many people from different countries. i can see many places of great intrests. i dream that i can go to london, because it is the birth place of english.i also want to use my good english to introduce our great places to the english spoken people, i hope that they can love our country like us.i know, rome was not built in a day. i believe that after continuous hard study, one day i can speak english very well.if you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. so i believe as i love english everyday , it will love me too.i am sure that i will realize my dream one day!thank you!
good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. good afternoon, boys and girls. good afternoon, everybody. i ’m glad to make a speech here.

we should thank our parents. they are the people who gave us the life. they look after us carefully and give all their love to us. i believe if necessary, they are willing to give everything to us. they stay with us, all the time.
we should thank our teachers. it is they who teach us knowledge unselfishly. they let us know how to write, how to read, how to get on with others and so on. they are our guide in our life.
we should thank our friends, our idmates. they are our partners. they understand us. they encourage us. they play with us. they grow up together with us. they make our life more colorful.

Failure is common in our real life.It is somthing that inevitable toeveryone.But people's attitudes failure differ.
To those pessimists, failure is just like a mountain lies before them andprevent them from walking forward.when they face it,they give up easily.Only onefailure is enough to make them feel sad,lose their hearts.As a result,they won'ttry again.In other words,they have been beaten by the failure totally.However tothose optimists,the attitude is quite opposite.In their eyes,one failure doesn'tmean anything,for it's just an experience that unavoidable on their way to thesuccess.Knowing this,therefore,they will never complain od feel sad.What theywill do is to calm down and find out the causes of their failures,then analysethem in order to avoid making the same mistake.
In my view, of course,I tend to the second attitude.actually,failure is akind of required course in our life.It is not an end but a start for us as longas we make good use of it.Thus, don't give up and give in.Remember,failureitself is not fearful.What matters is your attitudes towardsit.and?fragile.They?will?lose?in?great?pain?even?suicide.?At?this?question?which?argument?is?reasonable,i?have?my?own?ideas.At?first,i?hate?failure.But?Gold?take?no?cares?and?we?always?be?a?loser?at?last.However,we?cannot?be?beat?by?the?failure,we?should?find?the?problem?solution?on?the?basic?of?failure?and?overcome?the?difficulty.?Only?in?this?way?can?the?failure?play?a?good?role.
