英语演讲高中作文(精选35篇)
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 thefreshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of theappetite , for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60more than a boy of 20 . Nobody grows old merely by a number of years . We growold 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 ofwonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the gameof 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 powerfrom men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
When the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows ofcynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but aslong as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you maydie young at 80.
Thank you!
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。
谢谢!
Maybe you are surprised why I choose this ,there is a re I met my boyfriend,I knew nothing about football and would change channel immediately if a football game was everything changed at the end of last term.
He——my beloved,broke into my heart with his beloved has a fanatical enthusiasm to watch matches in deep night and a "football brain" to remember all those stars' names,nicknames,likes and dislikes,the clubs' histories and the coaches' preferred tactics and so also he is a member of the college team,and plays it twice a week at ver,I can only become a mute every time the round ball rolls between us.
One afternoon I was in dormitory and had nothing to do,and then I missed ding on the balcony,I could see the court clearly,and he was running,kicking and shooting as usual.I felt a little bit sense of mate made fun of me,"you're his wife,and football is his is always not the opponent of lover." Oh God!Will I become a "football widow"?Surely not!I decided to change myself instead of just waiting until the ball change to a I know more about football,the one who feel the sense of loss will be him.
Watching matches together with him,surfing the Internet for football news,and paying more attention to other football information,I became sensitive to this ually I was addicted to the excellent and popular sport.
I know many female fans scream when their favorite football stars appear despite they even don't know what is "offside".I won't be that kind of ball shows us not only those stars' individual charm but also the spirit of sport:strength and beauty,teamwork and fair example,formerly I thought David Beckham's appearance make him so popular but now I know that his long-pass and right-foot free kick are as outstanding as his appearance,and certainly,his pink news is also so outstanding as well.I used to believe that stars wouldn't be good ver,Raul's eternal celebration motion for score of kissing marriage ring really touched me and changed me.
Football is not only a sport to me.I have begun to go through the world and I will let it go on,not in order to frustrate my boyfriend,but because the football itself is waving to me.
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.

A poet said “To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in ahour. Several days ago I had a chance to listen to a lecture. I learnt a lot there. I‘d like to share it with all of you. Let‘s show our right palms. We can see three lines that show how our love.career and life is. I have a short line of life. What about yours? I wondered whether we could see our future in this way. Well let‘s make a fist. where is our future? where is our love career and life? Tell me.Yeah it is in our hands. It is held in ourselves.
We all want the future to be better than the past. But the future can go better itself. Don‘t cry because it is over smile because it happened. From the past we‘ve learnt that the life is tough but we are tougher. We‘ve learnt that we can‘t choose how we feel but we can choose what
about it. Failure doesn‘t mean you don‘t have it it does mean you should do it in a different way. Failure doesn‘t mean you should give up it does mean you must try harder.
As what I said at the beginning “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite”. The past has gone. Nothing we do will change it. But the future is in front of us. Believe that what we give to the world the world will give to us. And from today on let‘s be the owners of ourselves and speak out “We are the world we are the future.”
maybe god wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.
when the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
the best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
it's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. it takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
don't go for looks; they can deceive. don't go for wealth; even that fades away. go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. find the one that makes your heart smile.
A we know, mot of the thing in our life have to be bought withmoney.Butmoney i not the only in the world.Money can not buy many thing uch atime andtrue love.
There are 24 hour in a day.When we are happy, we hope the timewouldlonger.But no matter what we do, or how much money we pend.We cannot makeaday lat 25 hour.Another thing money cannot buy i true love.Money can buy ulargehoue, beautiful clothe, but can’t buy time and love.
正如我们所知,生活中大部分事情都需要金钱。但是金钱不是唯一的,很多东西金钱买不到,比如时间和真爱。
一天有24小时,当我们快乐时,我们希望时间会可以更长。但是无论我们怎么做,花多少钱,都不可能让一天有25个小时。另外金钱买不到的是真爱,金钱可以买到大房子,漂亮的衣服,但买不到时间和真爱。
it would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. this sweltering summer of the negro's legitimate discontent will not pauntil there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. and those who hope that the negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to busineas usual. and there will be neither rest nor tranquility in america until the negro is granted his citizenship rights. the whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
but there is something that i must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: in the proceof gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterneand hatred. we must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. we must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.
the marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. and they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.
we cannot walk alone.
and as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.
we cannot turn back.
there are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "when will you be satisfied?" we can never be satisfied as long as the negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. we can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. we cannot be satisfied as long as a negro in mississippi cannot vote and a negro in new york believes he has nothing for which to vote. no, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousnelike a mighty stream.
Success is made up of one percent talent and ninety-nine percent effort.
The process of climbing is hard, but the scenery of the top is different than it in the bottom of the hill.in order to see the scenery of the top, we must overcome all difficulties bravely .something easy to say , but difficult to do. The peak looks so far away from our, the leg is so painful, and others say that, forget it, you can't climb up, quickly stop and rest.
So, the higher of the mountain, the fewer people. But, could we give up the scenery of the peak? although Success is far away, but there it is, it hands to us ,and encourage us to persist a while, the most beautiful scenery will belong to us. So, no matter how tired, no matter how hard, we still adhere to the teeth, until success. Like Chris Gardner, in order to survive, to his son, he works very hard, although so tired that even want to give up, but he knew, giving up is a thorough failure, means coming back to the origin, losting hope at the same time. You got a dream, you gonna protect it. When we at the most hard time, hold on for a moment, will be the most beautiful scenery.
Successful people will never give up after the storm, rather than born with the ability to got anything.thanks!
Everybody will have failure.The failure is a successful mother, if there is no failure, that will not have results to show an achievement.Really, the successful man is very happy, they own fresh flowers, applause.But the person, who fail, own of only have lonesome with unfrequented.In fact, we should go to more honorific is those person of[with] failures.Because, there is failure, just have results to show an achievement.
Fail don't mean you is a for failed, fail to just mean you haven't succeeded; Fail don't mean you a have no become, fail to mean you get experience; Fail don't mean you are a stupid person who don't know to improvise, failing to mean you have Attic faith; Fail don't mean you have to has been suppressing not and quickly, failing to mean you take pleasure in trying.......
This is the failure, precious failure.
每个人都会有失败.失败乃成功之母,如果没有失败,那就不会有成功.的确,成功的人很幸福,他们拥有鲜花,掌声.但失败的人,拥有的只有寂寞和冷落.其实,我们更加应该去尊敬的是那些失败的人.因为,有了失败,才有成功.
失败并不表示你是一为失败者,失败只是表示你尚未成功; 失败并不表示你一无所成,失败表示你得到经验; 失败并不表示你是一个不知变通的蠢人,失败表示你有坚定的信念; 失败并不表示你必须一直压抑不快,失败表示你乐意尝试.......
这就是失败,宝贵的失败.
Since we have received education, we are told that drugs are horrible andthey can destroy our life completely. In the TV, the news reported the disastersthat drugs would bring, but still there were so many young people had beenseduced to take drugs. During recent years, some famous stars were caught by thepolicemen. They took drugs and brought the negative information to the public.As a result, their career was ended and they couldn't appear in the screen. Theyoung people is the future of a country, but they are easy to be seduced bycriminal behaviors. They want to try something new and go against the law. It isunwise to try drug, because it is hard to recover. Without strong will, lifewill be ruined. We should stay away from drugs.
我们所接受的教育都是告知我们毒品是可怕的,它们可以彻底摧毁我们的生活。在电视上,新闻报道了毒品会带来的灾难,但仍然有很多年轻人被_去吸毒。近年来,一些著名的明星因吸毒被警察抓住了,也把这负面信息带给了公众。结果,他们的职业生涯就结束了,再也不能出现在屏幕上。年轻人是一个国家的未来,但是他们很容易被犯罪行为所_。他们想尝试新事物,违反法律。尝试毒品是不明智的,因为它很难戒掉。如果没有坚强的意志,生活将会被毁灭。我们应该远离毒品。
Dear Judges and Friends,
The topic for my speech today is “Festival.” I would like to talk about myfavorite festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In China we have several important festivals, such as the Spring Festival,the Lantern Festival, the Dragon-boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival.Among them, I like Mid-Autumn festival best, especially because I live inXiamen.
In Xiamen, when we celebrate the Mid-Autumn festival, we do not only followthe common practices such as having a big dinner party with our family, eatingmooncakes, and appreciating the full moon at night, we also have one uniquecustom which is only practiced in Xiamen, that is “Bo Bing”.
“Bo Bing” is a very interesting game that almost all Xiamen people playduring this festival. Usually family members or close friends get togetheraround a table with a big round bowl in the middle and six dices in the bowl. Wetake turns to throw the dices into the bowl. We will get different prizesaccroding to the different ways the dices show their upper sides. Everyone islikely to become the champion or “Zhuangyuan” for the year. There is an elementof luck and equal opportunity in this game. So people usually get excited whileplaying. Also, the game gives very pleasant sounds. The tinkling made by thedices falling into the bowl is pleasant, people’s laughing, cheering andapplauding for the big prizes they’ve won is pleasant. All this adds greatly tothe joyful atmosphere of this festival. As a kid, of course I also like thematerial prizes I get from the game, such as a candy or a cake.
In this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival, my family invited our foreign friendsto come to our home to celebrate the Festival together. They have two childrenwho are younger than me. While our parents were making Jiaozi together, we kidsplayed “Bo Bing”. We bought quite some gifts to share with our guests as theirprizes.They enjoyed the game and our get-together very much.
The literal translation of “Bo Bing” is “mooncake gambling.” But actuallyit is not gambling, at least our family never plays it that way. For us, it ismore an occasion of happy sharing and getting-together. This is why Xiamen’sMid-Autumn Festival has become my favorite festival in the year.
Thank you very much!
Dear students and teachers ,respected judgers:
Good ’s my great honor to be here and give a speech about reading and learning English .
As we all know ,English is an international language. If we want to keep up with the world , we must learn the language well. How to learn Englishwell ?In my opinion the best way to learn English is to read Englisheveryday. Reading some world famous books is really a good way to learn not only the languagebut also western history and culture as well. So we can understand the language better. FromShakespear to Mark Twain, fromNewton to SharlockHolmes , from Tom Sawyer to Alice, these famous writer and their characters are all my ing newspapersand magazines are also helpful for us to know some new words and different ways of expressions. From newspapers, we can quickly widen our vocabulary and learn about the world. Poems are also good choices. From poems, we can learn lots of graceful words in English these will make our articles colorful and help us to learn English better. Surfing the internet you can also find some good English-learning websites. You can find millions of E-books on line. It’s a time of free reading. So, why not enjoy reading and learning English ?
“A good book is like a good friend.” “Books are the ladder of human progress.”By reading I can learn so much about the world ing is not only beneficial to widen your horizon but also
helpful to master the reading I made so many famous friends. While reading ,it’s just like communicating with many great minds through time and space. By reading I learn to find the truth of life . I learn to think aboutlife .I learn to understand and reading some world
famous English booksI gain both strength and courage to overcome all the difficulty I met. Reading makes me laugh. I can’t help laughing when I read the stories by Mark Twain. Reading makes me think. While reading Holmes,I myself has become the famous detective . My heart goes up and down with the development of the story. It’s really exciting,right ? Reading makes me cry. So , do you think it’s really important to read English books everyday? By reading, my English is
improving all the time . I know how to express myself in a better way because I learn so much form books. Books to our minds are just like food to our bodies. They nourish our minds.
Here is some advice for you to read and learn English . First, read out loudly. This can help you remember the new words better. Second, guess the meaning of new words instead of looking it up in a dictionary. This will exercise your brain, so you will be able to understand it better. At last, if you don’t like the book, just close it. You’ll remember nothing unless you really like reading it. So , it’s really important to choose some good books to read.
Above all ,Let’senjoy the happiness of reading and learning English . Let our thoughts travel through time and space to discover the true beauty of our lives.
Thank you !
Questions asked by the judgers:
1. In your opinion , what’s the connection between English learning and reading ?
2. Do you often read English books, what’s your favourite English book ?(what Enlgish books are you
interested in ? What do you learn from the story ?
3. I am a foreigner now ,I live in Shenzhen now . There are many traditional festivals in china ?can you
introduce one for me ?
4. Do you like watching English movies ? Do you think it’s helpful in learning English ?why ?
5. What’s your opinion on learning English with computers ? Introduce one of your favourite website to us ?
6. How do you learn Englishwell ? Can you give us some suggestions ?
I have read many good English books, such as《One Million Pound Bank-Note》,《Childhood》. The stories really moved me a lot.
You can learn about every subject if you use the websites properly.
recently,the news that u.s attack on china's internet is always exposed.and the question of how to stay online safely raises a lot of discussion in our country.as a result,in the era of rapid development of network,we must take measures to protect our security of privacy and property effectively.
from my perspective,in the first place,we should call attention to our personal information.not only do we not offer them at random in some strange websites,but we need to distinguish right from wrong among the numerous websites.furthermore,it is inevitable that some secure anti-virus soft wares can be installed.and it will make it possible for that network can run more steadily.in addition to doing some work by ourselves,the government needs to draw up some policies to preserve national cyber security.it involves probing for deeply rooted reasons,devising creative solutions,developing high-tech talents and strengthening the supervision.
although scientists still cannot overcome the problem completely,they are studying a great deal about how to protect our national cyber security.however,consciousness of cyber security should not decline.only in this way,we just enjoy the convenience brought by the network.

dear classmates,
every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. my friends will listen to me when i want to speak, will wipe my eyes when i cry, will take care of me when i am sick, and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.
as students, we could share more time with our friends. the friendship in our young hearts is pure, fresh and simple. i often feel very lucky to have a lot of good friends. especially when i had justin as one of my best friends. justin was my english teacher from the usa. i met him in 1996 when i was a student who could only speak very little english. justin was a vivid young man with a bright smile on his face, and he always had his special way to make the class active and attractive. he taught us english by telling stories, playing games, singing songs, and even dancing. i could still remember very clearly that one afternoon when we fin-ished our class, we went to some other classes to sing songs for them, just like what people do in the states on christmas eve. it was so interesting and unforgettable. justin was an excellent teacher, because he taught us not only how to study english well, but also the way to find out the beauty of the world and the way to be angels to others' lives. i know there was friendship and pure love in our hearts. facing this valuable emotion neither nationality nor age was important, the real importance lay in faith, under-standing, and care. justin is the best friend i have ever had, and i know i will cherish those days of staying together with him as the best part of my memory.
One of my favorite movies growing up was The Wizard of OZ.
从小到大一直以来,我最喜欢的电影之一是《绿野仙踪》。
Did you ever see it?
你曾经看过这部电影吗?
In Dorothy's adventures, she was accompanied by theTin Man,who wanted aheart,
在多萝西的冒险故事中, 陪伴着她的是想要一颗心的铁皮人,
the Scarecrow,who wanted a brain,
想要大脑的稻草人,
the Lion,who wanted courage,and her faithful dog Toto.
想要勇气的狮子,还有她的忠实的狗托托。
At certain times in my life,I could relate to each of those characters,
在我的生命中的特定时候,我可以联系到书里的每个人物,
I think we all can,
我想我们都可以,
In fact, that’s probably one of the reasons why the movies are sopopular.
事实上,这可能就是为什么这些电影如此大获成功的原因之一,
Sometimes we lack something.
有时候我们缺少一些东西。
Often it's courage.
通常它就是勇气。
Because we interact with people all day and we are often forced to be morepublic' than we'd like.
因为我们每天与人打交道,我们经常被迫比我们想的更为公开。
well,we have to muster our courage and perform in front of others,
嗯,我们必须鼓起勇气在别人面前表现,
It could be a job interview. it could be a presentation,
它可能是一次工作面试。它可能是一次演讲,
or it could be standing in front of a group and simply introducingyourself.
或者,这也可能是站在一群人面前,进行简单的自我介绍。
I think some people are naturally courageous.
我想有些人天生就是勇气非凡。
They are great at public speaking,
他们非常善于演讲,
They don't seem to get too nervous,
他们似乎不太紧张,
Others... well, just the thought of speaking in front of others causes themto get butterflies... to break out in a sweat, ...to start stuttering why isthat?
而别人……嗯,只是想在人面前说话……就使他们感到紧张,开始汗流浃背,开始结巴,那是为什么?
My idol is Bruce Lee, who was a fighting movie star, born in Hong Kong. His kong fu was excellent. Once in Florida, he fought 4 thieves with empty hands. Since then, he set out to film and became more and more famous. Although he has died for over 30 years, to this day, his name is still known to many people, and to many, his movies are still exhilarating.
Parents love, is the light in the dark, let my heart no longer lonely.
Parents love, is a can be sprinkled in my heart drizzle, moisten my dry heart.
Parents love, is the gas station in life, let me have the courage to accept the challenge.
The old saying says: "the sheep has kneel down the milk of the grace, the crow has the sense of feeding back." Every bit of our growth is inseparable from the help of parents, water when yongquan phase reported, therefore, we should know how to Thanksgiving, know how to thank parents.
Students, let us Thanksgiving parents! With a grateful heart to treat parents, with a sincere heart and parents exchange. They are great enough to bring us into this beautiful world, and they raise us as adults, giving us nothing in return. Be grateful for what your parents have given you.
Thank you!
Someone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”。 I don’t know who wrote these words, but I’ve always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be。 We are all in the position of the farmers。 If we plant a good seed ,we reap a good harvest。 If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all。
We are young。 “How to spend the youth?” It is a meaningful question。 To answer it, first I have to ask “what do you understand by the word youth?” Youth is not a time of life, it’s a state of mind。 It’s not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees。 It’s the matter of the will。 It’s the freshness of the deep spring of life。
A poet said “To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour。 Several days ago, I had a chance to listen to a lecture。 I learnt a lot there。 I’d like to share it with all of you。 Let’s show our right palms。 We can see three
lines that show how our love。career and life is。 I have a short line of life。 What about yours? I wondered whether we could see our future in this way。 Well, let’s make a fist。 Where is our future? Where is our love, career, and life? Tell me。Yeah, it is in our hands。 It is held in ourselves。
We all want the future to be better than the past。 But the future can go better itself。 Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened。 From the past, we’ve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher。 We’ve learnt that we can’t choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it。 Failure doesn’t mean you don’t have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way。 Failure doesn’t mean you should give up, it does mean you must try harder。
As what I said at the beginning, “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”。 The past has gone。 Nothing we do will change it。 But the future is in frront of us。 Believe that what we give to the world, the world will give to us。 And from today on, let’s be the owners of ourselves, and speak out “We are the world, we are the future。”
有人说“我们正在读一本书的第一章的第一节,页数无限的”。我不知道谁写的这些话,但我一直很喜欢他们提醒人们,可以是任何我们想要的未来。我们都是农民的地位。我们若种下好种子,我们收获丰收。如果我们工厂什么都没有,我们什么也没收获。
我们年轻的时候。“如何度过青春?“这是一个有意义的问题。要回答这个问题,首先我要问“你怎么理解这个词的青年吗?“青春不是生命的一个阶段,它是一种心态。它不是红润的面颊,红色的嘴唇和柔软的膝盖。它的问题。它是生命的深泉的清新。
一个诗人说:“从一粒沙子看到一个世界,从一朵野花看到一个天堂,把无限放在你的手掌,永恒也就消融于一个时辰。几天前,我有机会听一个讲座。我学到了很多。我想与大家分享。让我们展示我们的右手掌。我们可以看到三个
行,展示我们的爱。职业和生活。我有一个短线的生活。你的呢?我想知道是否我们可以看到我们的未来。好吧,让我们做一个拳头。我们的未来在哪里?哪里是我们的爱,事业和生活?告诉我。是的,它是在我们的手中。这是在自己举行。
我们都希望未来会比过去更好。但是未来可以更好的自己。不要因为完结而哭,要为曾经发生而微笑。从过去,我们知道,生活是艰苦的,但我们是更坚强。我们知道我们不能选择我们的感觉,但我们可以选择。失败并不意味着你不拥有它,它意味着你应该换一种方式。失败并不意味着你应该放弃,它意味着你须更加努力。
就像我一开始说,“我们正在读一本书的第一章的第一节,页数无限的”。过去的已经过去了。我们所做的任何事都不会改变它。但是未来是在我们面前。相信我们给世界,世界将给我们。从今天开始,我们是自己的主人,说出“我们是世界,我们是未来。”
创新,一个我们耳熟能详的词。尤其是这样一个飞速发展的时代,这个词时时撞击我们的耳膜。但是,创新,其丰富的内涵,却是许多人尽其一生孜孜以求,也未必可以充分了解的。
朋友,你认识创新吗?
创新其实是一个梦想。
中国古代曾有一个人,背负纸做的翅膀,义无反顾地纵身跳下高高的山崖,希冀像鸟儿一样飞翔在晴空。在粉身碎骨跳下的一瞬间,他是否隐约看到了碧空中可以自由翱翔的飞机?
英国有一位作家,在他一生的作品中,尽情幻想,将热气球、潜水艇、电报提前了几十、甚至几百年带入我们的生活。在凡尔纳下笔的一刹那,他是否已经预先看到了遥远的未来?
梦想标示着丰富的想象力,想象力为创新提供源泉。创新从梦想中蜕变,以梦想为根,受梦想浇灌。像永不失天真的爱因斯坦吹出的肥皂泡,在空冥的大地上,不断破灭又不断上升。
创新需要怀疑与批判。
怀疑是创新的萌芽,批判是创新的成长。在怀疑中发现错误,在批判中改正错误,创新才能完成。然而怀疑的精神、批判的勇气,人们为之付出了太多太多。
1543年的春天,人们震惊了,一个人,他居然宣称地球是围绕太阳转的。上帝啊!让这个人不得好死。人们肆意地嘲笑,诅咒。
终于,诅咒灵验了,六十七年后的一天,在美丽的罗马鲜花广场,那个虔诚地捍卫并发展了太阳中心学说的布鲁诺被高高地绑在十字架上。一个火把投向他,烧焦的肉体发出一阵阵异味。死亡的气息在游荡。突然,一个声音从那扭曲的身躯中迸发出来:“火并不能把我征服,未来的世界会了解我,知道我的价值。”
是的,火并没有征服他,那愤怒的火焰,那毁灭的火焰,只能把挂在伪真理脸上的面具烧焦。弥漫在鲜花广场的灰烬不愿散去,它要告诉我们:创新,踏着用生命证明了的怀疑与批判,终究会打破传统的桎梏,得到永生。
创新要求深刻。
我们都知道,阿基米德在洗澡时发现了浮力定律,成就了科学史上的一段美谈。可是我们是否还记得曹冲称象的故事?那可爱的孩子也不自觉地运用着浮力定律。然而,后者只被当成一个睡前故事流传于孩子们的枕边,前者却孕育了物理学的一个基本原理。
有时候,创新并不是很难,说不准什么时候,一个思想的火花闪过,创新就来到眼前。可火花不能长久,创新却要求永恒。于是创新要求深刻的思考,追求本质的东西,要求我们更进一步地去挖掘它具有的创新意识。
然而挖掘不是最难,最难的是那意识的产生。你一定游过泳,一定玩过水,你一定感受到过水的压力,但你能说,你可以造出浮力定律吗?甚至你敢说,会想到用水来称象吗?恐怕不敢吧?生活中许多事情就是这样,在你经历时,就已触摸到创新的边缘了,然而我们却没有那个观念,有意识地将创新完成。
作为大学生,我们的知识仍然贫乏,也许我们不能有多少伟大的具体的创新。但是我们一定要培养我们的创新意识。这意识中包含着许多内容。首先,我们要学会梦想,学会不为现实堵塞我们的天真,不时地做一做童年的梦,想一想飞上火星的浪漫,想一想生活于外太空的美妙。不要只盯着别墅、跑车,做物质的奴隶。然后,让我们学会怀疑与批判。不要吓倒在老师那威严的面孔下,不要认为凡是印成了铅字的东西就是真理。昆德拉说:“人类一思考,上帝就发笑。”相信自己,坚持怀疑,敢于批判,不惧权威,方显英雄本色。再次,让我们深沉一下,稳重一点,不妨压抑一下青春的律动,多思考一些东西,多研究一些学问,不要有了一个奇特的创意,一个未闻的发现就妄自高兴,而到实践时却束手无策。最后也是最重要的,就是要培养自己的创新意识,尤其是对专业中新事物的敏感度。伦琴因为一张被感光了的底片,意识到X射线的存在,最终获得第一届诺贝尔奖,牛顿因为一只落下的苹果而发现万有引力。他们对于专业的敏锐,是我们在学习中真正要掌握到手的知识。
认识创新。“认”是一个认知,明白其表象的过程;而“识”是一个理解,探索其本质含义的过程。认识创新,我们不仅仅要“认”,更重要的是要“识”。
Innovation, one we are familiar with the word .In particular, this is an era of
rapid development , the word always hit our eardrums . However , innovation and its rich connotation, is that many people do their assiduous life , it may not be able tofully understand.Friend , do you know innovation ?
Innovation is actually a dream.
Ancient China had a man ,burdened wings made of paper , hesitate to jump as high cliff , hoping to fly like a bird in the clear sky . Jumped in pieces at the moment whether
he could vaguely see the blue sky in the freedom of flying airplanes?
Britain has a writer, works in his lifetime , enjoy fantasy, the hot air balloon , submarine ,telegraph ahead of dozens , or even hundreds of years into our lives.
Verne pen down at the moment ,whether he had previously seen the distant future ? Dreams marked rich imagination , imagination as a source of innovation . Innovative transformation from dream to dream is the root, watered by the dream . Einstein never lost innocence like blowing soap bubbles in the air offerings of the earth,constantly shattered and constantly rising .
Innovation requires suspicion and criticism .Suspected to be the seeds of innovation , critical innovation growth. Errors found in doubt , correct the error in the criticism , innovation to complete.
However, skepticism , criticism of courage, people pay the price too much.The spring of 1543 , people shocked , a person, he actually claimed that the earth revolves around the sun .
God, ah ! Let this person Budehaosi . People wanton laugh ,curse.Finally ,the curse come true , the day after 1978 , in the beautiful Rome Campo de 'Fiori, the religiously defended and developed the center of the sun is high in the doctrine of Bruno tied to the cross. A torch toward him, and sent waves smell of burnt flesh . The smell of death in the wandering . Suddenly, a voice from that distorted body burst out : "Fire does not make me conquer the future of the world will know me , and know my worth ."
Yes, the fights did not conquer
him, and that the flames of anger , and that the destruction of the flame , only
to hang in the pseudo- truth face mask burning. Filled in the
Campo de 'Fiori reluctant to disperse the ashes , it has to tell us: innovation
, marching with his life proved suspicion and criticism , will eventually break
the traditional shackles and have eternal life.
Innovation requires profound .
We all know that in the bath
Archimedes discovered the law of buoyancy , the achievements of science in the
history of a brother's wife. But we still
remember Cao Chong said the elephant story ? Lovely children do not consciously use the law of
buoyancy . However, the latter only as a
bedtime story being circulated in the children's pillow , the former has given
birth to one of the basic principles of physics .
Sometimes, innovation is not
difficult , can not say what time the spark of an idea flashed , innovation came
to hand. Sparks can not last long , but
innovation requires eternity. So innovation requires deep
thinking , the pursuit of the essence of things, require us to dig further it
has a sense of innovation .
However, mining is not the most difficult , the most difficult is that conscious generation. You must swam , played some water, you will feel the pressure over the water , but you can say that you can create buoyancy do ? Even if you say , think of water as it came to be called ? I'm afraid not , right ? Is so many things in life , in your experiences, had to touch the edge of innovation , yet we do not have that concept , consciously innovative complete.
As college students, our knowledge is still poor , maybe we can not have a great number of specific innovations.
But we must nurture our sense of innovation. It contains many elements of consciousness .
First, we must learn to dream , learn not reality clogging our innocence, from time to time to make a childhood dream to do , think about Mars fly romantic , think about the beauty of living in outer space . Do not just stare at the villa , sports car, doing physical slaves. Then, let us learn to doubtand criticism . Do not intimidated by the teacher that majestic face , do not think that all printed in lead type stuff is the truth. Kundera said: " a thinking human beings , God laughs ." Believe in yourself, doubts persist , the courage to criticize , fear of authority , the hero character . Again,let us look deep , steady light, it may look youthful rhythm depressed ,thinking something more to study some knowledge , do not have a strange idea, anunheard of discovery to pretend happy, but to practice Shique helpless. Finally, and most important , is to develop their own sense of innovation, especially for professionals in the sensitivity of new things . Roentgen because one is a photographic negatives and realized the existence of X-rays , and ultimately won the first Nobel Prize , Newton as a falling apple and discovered gravity . They professional
acumen is that we really want to master in learning hand knowledge.Recognizing innovation . "Recognize " is a perception,understand the process of representation ; and " knowledge" is an understandingof the process of exploring its essential meaning . Recognizing innovation, we not only want to"recognize ", but it is important to " know ."
Youth has been praised by many people. They believe that it is the mostprecious time of one's lifetime, because youth stands for young age and energy.So we should cherish youth and do whatever we like. In my opinion, when we areyoung, the first thing we need to do is to fight for our future. So we spend alot of time studying and gain much knowledge. The store of knowledge helps ussolve all kinds of problems. When we have enough ability, we are no longerafraid of meeting difficulties. The second thing we need to do is to broaden ourvision. As we are young and full of energy, it is the best time to see morescenery. Don't wait for retirement to explore the world. What we see will makeus mature and stronger. Let's enjoy the beautiful youth.
青春一直都受到许多人的称赞,他们认为青春是一个人一生中最宝贵的时间,因为青春代表着年轻和活力。所以我们应该珍惜青春,做我们想做的事情。在我看来,年轻时候需要做的第一件事就是为我们的未来而努力。所以我们花了很多时间去学习、获得更多的知识。知识的储备可以帮助我们解决各种各样的问题。当我们能力足够强大的时候,就不再害怕困难了。我们需要做的第二件事就是扩大视野。因为我们年轻,充满活力,所以此时是的时间去看更多的风景,不要等到退休后才去探索世界。我们的所见所闻会让我们变得成熟和强大。让我们享受美好的青春吧。
The power of yet.
专注过程,而不是结果。
I heard about a highschool in Chicago where students had to pass a certain number of courses tograduate, and if they didn't pass a course, they got the grade "NotYet." And I thought that was fantastic, because if you get a failinggrade, you think, I'm nothing, I'm nowhere. But if you get the grade "NotYet" you understand that you're on a learning curve. It gives you a pathinto the future.
我听说,在芝加哥有一所高中,那儿的学生毕业前要通过一系列课程,如果某一门课没有通过,成绩就是「暂未通过」。我想,这真是个绝妙的做法,因为,如果你某门课的成绩不及格,你会想,我什么都不是,我什么都没有学到。但如果你的成绩是「暂未通过」,你会明白,学习的步伐并没有停下,你还需逐步向前,争取未来。
"Not Yet"also gave me insight into a critical event early in my career, a real turningpoint. I wanted to see how children coped with challenge and difficulty, so Igave 10-year-olds problems that were slightly too hard for them. Some of them reactedin a shockingly positive way. They said things like, "I love achallenge," or, "You know, I was hoping this would beinformative."
「暂未通过」也让我联想起一件尤为重要的、发生在我职业生涯初期的事情,这件事对我而言是一个转折点。当时,我想探究孩子是如何应对挑战和困难的,因此,我让一些10岁大的孩子尝试解决一些对于他们而言稍稍偏难的问题。一些孩子积极应对的方式让我感到震惊。他们会这样说,「我喜欢挑战,」或说,「你知道的,我希望能有所获。」
They understood that their abilities could be developed.They had what I call a growth mindset. But other students felt it was tragic,catastrophic. From their more fixed mindset perspective, their intelligence hadbeen up for judgment and they failed. Instead of luxuriating in the power ofyet, they were gripped in the tyranny of now.
这些孩子明白,他们的能力是可以提升的。他们有我所说的成长型思维模式。但另一些孩子觉得面对这些难题是不幸,宛如面对一场灾难。从他们的固定型思维角度来看,他们的才智受到了评判,而他们失败了。他们不懂得享受学习的过程,而只盯住眼前的成与败。
So what do they donext? I'll tell you what they do next. In one study, they told us they wouldprobably cheat the next time instead of studying more if they failed a test. Inanother study, after a failure, they looked for someone who did worse than theydid so they could feel really good about themselves. And in study after study,they have run from difficulty.
这些孩子们后面表现如何?让我告诉你他们的表现。在一项研究中,他们告诉我们,如果他们某次考试未通过,他们很可能会在下次考试中作弊,而不是更加努力地学习。在另一项研究中,他们挂了一门后,他们会找到那些考得还不如他们高的孩子,以寻求自我安慰。后续的研究陆续表明,他们会逃避困难。
Scientists measured the electrical activity fromthe brain as students confronted an error. On the left, you see the fixedmindset students. There's hardly any activity. They run from the error. Theydon't engage with it. But on the right, you have the students with the growthmindset, the idea that abilities can be developed. They engage deeply. Theirbrain is on fire with yet. They engage deeply. They process the error. Theylearn from it and they correct it.
科学家们监测了学生们面对错误时的脑电活动图像。在左侧,是固定型思维模式的学生,几乎没有什么活动。他们在错误面前选择了逃避。他们没有积极地投入。但请看右侧,这是成长型思维模式的学生,这些学生相信能力会通过锻炼得以提升。他们积极地应对错误。他们的大脑在高速运转,他们积极地投入,他们剖析错误,从中学习,最终订正。
How are we raising ourchildren? Are we raising them for now instead of yet? Are we raising kids whoare obsessed with getting A's? Are we raising kids who don't know how to dreambig dreams? Their biggest goal is getting the next A or the next test score?
如今我们是如何教育孩子的呢?是教育他们专注眼前,而不是注重过程吗?我们培育了一些迷恋刷A的孩子们吗?我们培育了没有远大理想的孩子们吗?他们最远大的目标就是再拿一个A,心里所想的就是下一次考试吗?
And are they carrying this need for constant validation with them into theirfuture lives? Maybe, because employers are coming to me and saying, we havealready raised a generation of young workers who can't get through the daywithout an award.
他们在今后的生活中,都以分数的高低来评判自己吗?或许是的,因为企业雇主们跑来找我,说我们养育的这新一代走上工作岗位的人,如果不给他们奖励,他们一天都过不下去。
So what can we do? Howcan we build that bridge to yet?
我们该怎么做呢?如何让孩子注重过程而不是结果呢?
Here are some things wecan do. First of all, we can praise wisely, not praising intelligence ortalent. That has failed. Don't do that anymore. But praising the process thatkids engage in: their effort, their strategies, their focus, theirperseverance, their improvement. This process praise creates kids who are hardyand resilient.
我们可以做这样几件事。首先,我们可以有技巧地去表扬:不去表扬天分或才智,这行不通。不要再这样做了。而是要对孩子积极投入的过程进行表扬:他们的努力与策略,他们的专注、坚持与进步。对过程的表扬,会塑造孩子的韧性。
There are other ways toreward yet. We recently teamed up with game scientists from the University ofWashington to create a new online math game that rewarded yet. In this game,students were rewarded for effort, strategy and progress. The usual math gamerewards you for getting answers right right now, but this game rewardedprocess. And we got more effort, more strategies, more engagement over longerperiods of time, and more perseverance when they hit really, really hardproblems.
还有其他的办法来奖励过程。最近,我们与来自华盛顿大学的游戏研究者合作,制作了一款奖励过程的数学游戏。在这个游戏中,学生们因他们的努力、策略与进步而受到奖励。通常的数学游戏中,玩家只有在解得正确答案后才能得到奖励,但这个游戏奖励过程。随着游戏的深入,孩子们更加努力,想出更多的策略,身心更加投入,当遇到尤为困难的问题时,他们也展现了更为持久的韧劲。
Just the words"yet" or "not yet," we're finding, give kids greaterconfidence, give them a path into the future that creates greater persistence.And we can actually change students' mindsets. In one study, we taught themthat every time they push out of their comfort zone to learn something new anddifficult, the neurons in their brain can form new, stronger connections, andover time they can get smarter.
我们发现,注重过程的思维模式,会赋予孩子们更多自信,指引他们不断向前,越发坚持不懈。事实上,我们能够改变学生的思维模式。在一项研究中,我们告诉学生们,每当他们迫使自己走出舒适区,学习新知识,迎接新挑战,大脑中的神经元会形成新的、更强的连接,他们会逐渐变得越来越聪明。
Look what happened: inthis study, students who were not taught this growth mindset continued to showdeclining grades over this difficult school transition, but those who weretaught this lesson showed a sharp rebound in their grades. We have shown thisnow, this kind of improvement, with thousands and thousands of kids, especiallystruggling students.
看看后面发生了什么吧:在这项研究中,没有接受成长型思维模式训练的学生,在这一困难的过渡阶段,成绩持续下滑,但那些受过该训练的学生,成绩强势反弹,卓有起色。如今,我们已证实这一结论,通过成千上万个孩子的实例,尤其是那些在学业上挣扎的孩子。
So let's talk aboutequality. In our country, there are groups of students who chronically underperform,for example, children in inner cities, or children on Native Americanreservations. And they've done so poorly for so long that many people thinkit's inevitable. But when educators create growth mindset classrooms steeped inyet, equality happens.
那我们就来谈谈教育平等吧。在我们国家,有些特定区域的孩子总是在学业上处于下游,比如,内城区的孩子,或印第安人居留地里的孩子。长期以来这里的孩子都没什么起色, 以致于很多人认为没的救了。但是当教育家们将孩子的思维转变为成长型思维模式时,教育平等实现了。
And here are just a few examples. In one year, akindergarten class in Harlem, New York scored in the 95th percentile on theNational Achievement Test. Many of those kids could not hold a pencil when theyarrived at school. In one year, fourth grade students in the South Bronx, waybehind, became the number one fourth grade class in the state of New York onthe state math test. In a year to a year and a half, Native American studentsin a school on a reservation went from the bottom of their district to the top,and that district included affluent sections of Seattle. So the native kidsoutdid the Microsoft kids.
举几个例子吧。纽约哈莱姆区的一所幼儿园的学生在一年的时间内,国家水平测试(NationalAchievement Test) 成绩飞跃到前百分之五。这些孩子中有很多在入学时甚至还不会握笔。一年之内,远远落后的南布朗克斯区的四年级学生,其标准数学测试成绩攀升到纽约州所有四年级学生的第一名。在一年到一年半的时间内, 某印第安人居留地的一所学校里的学生成绩从全区垫底到名列前茅,而这个区包括了西雅图市的富饶地段。印第安孩子战胜了「微软」孩子。
This happened becausethe meaning of effort and difficulty were transformed. Before, effort anddifficulty made them feel dumb, made them feel like giving up, but now, effortand difficulty, that's when their neurons are making new connections, strongerconnections. That's when they're getting smarter.
这得以实现的原因,是努力与困难的意义在孩子心目中发生了改变。在此之前,努力与困难让他们感觉自己很笨,让他们想放弃,但如今,正是努力与困难让他们大脑中的神经元得以形成新的连接,更强的连接。正是在这个过程中,他们变得越来越聪明。
I received a letterrecently from a 13-year-old boy. He said, "Dear Professor Dweck, Iappreciate that your writing is based on solid scientific research, and that'swhy I decided to put it into practice. I put more effort into my schoolwork,into my relationship with my family, and into my relationship with kids atschool, and I experienced great improvement in all of those areas. I nowrealize I've wasted most of my life."
最近,我收到一个13岁男孩的来信。他说,「亲爱的德韦克教授,我欣赏你的著作,因为它们都基于可靠的科学试验,因此,我决定将你的方法付诸实践。我更用功地学习,更用心地处好与家人的关系,与同学的关系,而在这些方面我都有了长足的进步。现在我才意识到,过去浪费了太多生命。」
Let's not waste anymore lives, because once we know that abilities are capable of such growth, itbecomes a basic human right for children, all children, to live in places thatcreate that growth, to live in places filled with yet.
让我们不再浪费生命, 因为,既然我们知道 能力可以增长,那么,生活在一个能激发进步并让这一切变得可能的地方就是每个孩子的权利。
Thank you.(Applause)
谢谢。(掌声)
but one hundred years later, the negro still is not free. one hundred years later, the life of the negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. one hundred years later, the negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. one hundred years later, the negro is still languished in the corners of american society and finds himself an exile in his own land. and so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
in a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. when the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the declaration of independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every american was to fall heir. this note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable rights" of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." it is obvious today that america has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. instead of honoring this sacred obligation, america has given the negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."
but we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. we refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. and so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
we have also come to this hallowed spot to remind america of the fierce urgency of now. this is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. now is the time to make justice a reality for all of god's children.
The world we live in is becoming more and more intolerable because of environmental destruction. For example forest destruction results in decrease of planting land and unpleasant weather. In addition man is faced with problems of water pollution and air pollution.
A lot of measures have been taken. Planting trees helps improve and beautify the environment. Besides laws concerning environmental protection have been put into effect and achieved good results.
However the problem of environmental protection remains far from being solved. On the one hand the environment pollution and destruction are getting worse and worse in the modern world. On the other hand the lack of knowledge about the importance of protecting environment hinders the solving of the problem. In a word there is a long way to go before we enjoy a clean and comfortable world.

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.
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.
Dear teachers and students:
hello everyone!
The title of my speech is "happy to see life, smile to welcome life".
In the journey of life, we often encounter setbacks and failures and fall into all kinds of unexpected difficulties. At this time, please don't feel inferior and don't easily say: I can't do it. We should treat life with a positive and optimistic attitude, have the courage to cheer ourselves up and say to ourselves: great.
There is such a story that the father's son's grades were mediocre and the family was "in constant war" all day. In the sound of scolding, his son's grades fell again and again, and finally became the penultimate first. My father thought, it's no use beating and scolding anyway. Just try a different attitude. So he looked at his son's test paper and said with a smile, "great, really great!" The son was surprised. The father said, "you think, a person who runs last doesn't have to worry that others will surpass him, but as long as you work hard, you will surpass others." After hearing this, his son suddenly realized that he worked very hard in his future study. After several exams, his son's grades rose to the top. From this story to see our study, we should be inspired: the exam is not ideal, depressed, we might as well say "great!" Because the exam points out our weakness in study and tells us the direction of our efforts.
It's better to find problems now than to stumble and wake up in the middle school entrance examination. Failure put an end to yesterday, a new life begins here, and success takes off from here. Let's say "great" to ourselves in the face of setbacks. For us growing up, ups and downs are nutrition, and setbacks are the best university in life. Let's say "great" to ourselves in the face of difficulties. In overcoming difficulties, we continue to mature.
As long as we are worthy of ourselves and our parents, let us treat our study and life with an optimistic attitude, constantly strive to forge ahead and write a brilliant movement of life!
Thank you!
The day before yesterday,someone gave me a phone call.he said“che ,i am your leader,come to my office room right now”so i felt anxious and said”who are you?and what did i do?”.he just said”i am just your leader”.i realized he is a cheater.so i said”i will call the police”he hung up immediately.so i felt scared.and i have a question:who leak my information? Ten years ago,i have never thought our personal information is important.but now if your phone number is leaked,you will be drowned in a sea of junk short message.the ID card number is one of your most important personal information.because your bank card, driving license, student card and personal resume are both binding to your ID card number.so if your ID card number leaked, that completely is a disaster. How did my information leak? In some film, a hacker use a computer attack a website and get many information.that is true.many computer virus can do this.and today is the age of big data, a good hacker can get your password from your other information.for example,a hacker build a false website, and you register for an account.the hacker would get your password and your email address. Sometimes the password is your bank account password.He just need to send you a e-mail with computer virus.your bank account and password will be leaked. So what should we do to protect our information security? First of all we shouldn’t tell others our personal information.most of the information leakage event is from our carelessness.besides,we shouldn’t register for an account easily.and i still hold a belief on don’t using number is the best way to protect information security
Chairman Mao has written, "So many deeds cry out to be done, and always urgently; the world rolls on, time presses. Ten thousand years are too long, seize the day, seize the hour!"
This is the hour, this is the day for our two peoples to rise to the heights of greatness which can build a new and a better world.
In that spirit, I ask all of you present to join me in raising your glasses to Chairman Mao, to Prime Minister Zhou, and to the friendship of the Chinese and American people which can lead to friendship and peace for all people in the world.
The fourth season is winter.December,January and February are the threemonths of that season.
The weather is very cold,and most of the plants die at that time.Sometimesit snows.
People can enjoy skating and skiing.But winter doesn' t stay with us for along time,for spring comes again soon.
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.
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.
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.
In China, the woman who is more than 40 year-old is called Da Ma, it has to be admitted that Da Ma is a powerful group, they own certain money at hand, we always hear about the news about them buying house everywhere or flying to the foreign country to buy the brands. The large group now has invaded the square at night, when the night comes, several groups of Da Ma go to the square, playing the music and dance until 9 o’clock. About few years ago, only few women would do this, but now, as the economy develops, people live a better life, so they begin to find entertainment. Da Ma have made the square dance popular, when we go out at night, we may find them dance everywhere. I think square dance is a good way for people to get exercise, they can keep fit.
在中国,超过四十岁的妇女叫做大妈,不得不承认,大妈是一个很有权利的群体,她们手头上有一定的金钱,我们总是看到大妈到处买房子或者是飞到国外购买名牌的新闻。这个庞大的群体现在已经攻占了晚上的广场,当夜晚来临的时候,几个大妈团体就会走到广场里,开着音乐,一直跳到九点。大约几年前,只有少数的妇女会这样做,但是现在,随着经济的发展,人们过上了好日子,因此他们开始寻找娱乐。大妈让广场舞变得流行,当我们晚上走出去的时候,我们可以发现她们无处不在跳舞。我觉得广场舞对人们来说是锻炼的好方式,可以保持健康。
Money is indeed important, but money cannot buy everything. A miser maythink that “money talks,” but if you only give your attention to making money,you may lose many things, such as health, friendship and love. I don't think weshould regard money as everything. Money is just a tool that can help us solveproblems or enable us to live a comfortable life. What we should do is to use itappropriately and not become misers. This way, all of us can lead a happierlives.
钱确实是很重要的,但钱买不到所有的东西。守财奴可能认为“金钱万能”,但是如果你只将注意力放在挣钱上,你将失去很多东西,例如,健康,友谊和爱。我认为我们不应该将金钱看作一切。钱仅仅是一个可以帮助我们解决问题和过更舒适的生活的工具。我们应该做的是如何正确的使用金钱,不要变成守财奴。这样,我们才能过上幸福的生活。
ladies and gentlemen,boys and girls,
I am chinese. i am proud of being a chinese with five thousand years ofcivilization behind. I‘ve learned about the four great inventions made by ourforefathers. I‘ve learned about the great wall and the yangtze river. I‘velearned about zhang heng and I‘ve learned about zheng says the yellow rivercivilization has vanished?I know that my ancestors have made miracles on thisfertile land and we‘re still making miracles. who can ignore the fact that wehave established ourselves as a great state in the world,that we have devisedour own nuclear weapons,that we have successfully sent our satellites intospace,and that our gnp ranks no. 7 in the world? We have experienced theplunders by other nations,and we have experienced the war. yet,based on suchruins,there still stands our nation----china,unyielding and unconquerable!
I once came across an american tourist. She said,china has a history offive thousand years,but the us only has a history of 200 years. Five thousandyears ago,china took the lead in the world,and now it is the us that isleading. My heart was deeply touched by these words. It is true that we‘restill a developing nation,but it doesn‘t mean that we can despise ourselves. Wehave such a long-standing history,we have such abundant resources,we have suchintelligent and diligent people,and we have enough to be proud of. We have
Reasons to say proudly:we are sure to take the lead in the world in thefuture again,for our problems are big,but our ambition is even bigger,ourchallenges are great,but our will is even greater.
I am chinese. I have inherited black hair and black eyes. I have inheritedthe virtues of my ancestors. I have also taken over responsibility. I am sure,that wherever I go,whatever I do,I shall never forget that I am chinese!
