Ninety three percent of the worlds water is salt water and cannot be drunk. Fresh water only accounts for seven percent, while drinking water only accounts for eight percent. Five billion people in the world depend on drinking only 0.8% of the fresh water. Look, how valuable the water is!
How do we get the tap water we use every day? Dont think running water is all right. It was the worker uncle of the waterworks who introduced the river water or groundwater into the factory, put the water in the sedimentation tank, added the medicine for disinfection and sterilization, and removed the harmful and impurities. In this way, many pipes were buried underground. These pipes are connected one by one. They are the result of the hard work of many workers in Waterworks day and night. When we turn on the tap, we should think of how many workers uncles hard work are contained in the water!
Students, we are the little masters of the country. We should form a good idea and good habit of saving water from childhood. No matter in or out of school, we should pay attention to water conservation to avoid waste of water resources, do not let the tap drip, try to make rational and recycling use of water resources. We should be a good child who saves water with practical actions.

Dear students,
our way of life is always sunny, blue skies, which in the end the most dazzling ray of sunlight? it was said to be ecellent academic performance, it was said to be given to help others ... ... and i think that our way of life of the most brilliant sunshine should be reported to belong to the temple map, help us to grow thanks to everyone. yes, the institute of thanksgiving is a feeling, the institute of thanksgiving, but also a character.
As teachers and our students, the most important gratitude is a school. schools to give us a big growth stage of life: bright and spacious classrooms, new desks and chairs, air-conditioned and well-being, as well as multi-media facilities, has provided us with an attractive learning environment. read one book bright and clean rooms, provides us with knowledge of the marine tour; flat beautiful big playground, provided us with a good place for the eercise, and pottery room, computer room, dance room, multi-purpose hall, and so on, no school is not out of devotion to our selfless love!

My last holidays were my longest holidays, and i think that i learnt how to spend the time. I enjoyed a lot with my friends, and my family, and i met new people too, because i was in different places during the summer, and i wanted to meet people everywhere. The first place i visited was calpe, a town in alicante, because i was invited for some days by a friend who has a house there. I went with some friends, and we spent there just five days, but it was enough time to want to come back next summer! We stayed on the beach for hours, in the mornings, just lying and asleep, taking enough energy for the rest of the day and for the night! At night, we went out until next morning. We danced, met people, walked near the beach... while we watched the moon in silence. Next, i went to paris with my parents and my sister. Actually, i did not go to paris, i went to disneyland. We stayed there for four days, and it was really unforgettable. When i saw the park, i opened my eyes the most i could and i did not close them until the night at the hotel. I felt like a little girl again. Finally, i was in salou. My parents looked for a really relaxing time, and we were on the beach for some days. There, we did not visit anything, we were there just to rest. After those days, we came , and, unfortunately, we had to start our routines again.

there was a guy who went into a shop to buy a parrot。 there werethreeparrots in the shop。 one was $5,000; another one,$10,000; and the third one,$30,000。

good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
during his presidency, bill clinton seized important opportunities on issues from welfare to free trade. he was a tireless champion of peace in the middle east. he used american power in the balkans to confront aggression and halt ethnic cleansing. and in all his actions and decisions, the american people sensed a deep empathy for the poor and the powerless. shortly before leaving office, president clinton said, "christ admonished us that our lives will be judged by how we do unto the least of our neighbors." throughout his career, bill clinton has done his best to live up to that standard. and americans respect him for it. at every stage of his remarkable life, president clinton has made and kept countless friends, who share in the joy of this day. and three people in particular have the largest part in this remarkable story. one day more than 30 years ago, inside the yale law library, a fellow student walked over to bill clinton and said, "if you're going to keep staring at me, and i'm going to keep staring back, we ought to at least know each other's name. mine's hillary rodham. what is yours?"that was a good day for both of them, and the beginning of a partnership unique in american history. so today, we honor the former first lady of arkansas, the former first lady of america, the united states senator from new york, senator hillary rodham clinton.
perhaps the clintons' greatest achievement is their daughter, who moved into the white house as a young girl, and left as an accomplished young lady. it's not easy to be a teenager in the white house, but it's a lot easier when you have a loving mother and a loving father that chelsea clinton had.
this magnificent presidential library, and the american life it celebrates, would not have been possible without the love and sacrifice of a special lady. among his heroes, president clinton always includes his mother, virginia kelley, "a working woman and a widow." virginia was there when her son took the oath of office, and we know that she would be incredibly proud of this day.
the story that began in a little house on hervey street in hope, arkansas is the kind of story that inspires people from every background, all over america. in this great nation, it is always possible for a child to go as far as their talent and vision can take them. visitors to this place will be reminded of the great promise of our country, and the dreams that came true in the life of our 42nd president. the william j. clinton presidential library is a gift to the future by a man who always believed in the future. and today, we thank him for loving and serving america.

1,in china there is an old saying: bread is the staff of life. the chinese meaning is 民以食为天。obviously, it means food plays a decisive [di'saisiv] role in our daily life, food safety is a matter of primary ['praim?ri] importance , the issue is closely related to ordinary people’s health.

3, the unhealthy food seriously harm our body, it can cause different kinds of diseases, from a headache to cancer, this is not a threat, some unhealthy food, containing various additives. and which give a tremendous threat to us. some unhealthy food will make us ill, such as diarrhea , stomach ache and other disease of digestive tract. some food additives use chemical materials to make food looks better, but it will carcinogenic [,kɑ:sin?u'd?enik] in a long time.

I would like to share with you a true story about Nicholas James Vujicic.He was born with Tetra-amelia, a rare disorder characterized by the absence ofall four limbs. He struggled as a child, eventually came to terms with hisdisability and started his own non-profit organization Life Without Limbs – atage seventeen. He is widely known as a motivational speaker, giving talksworldwide on life with a disability, hope, and finding meaning in life.
He was bullied at school, Vujicic grew depressed and by the age of 8,contemplated suicide. At age 10, he tried to drown himself in 4 inches of water,but did not go through with it out of love for his parents. After praying togrow arms and legs, Vujicic eventually realized that his accomplishments couldinspire others – and became grateful for his life. A key turning point came whenhis mother showed him a newspaper article about a man dealing with a severedisability. Vujicic realized he wasn't unique in his struggles and began toembrace and transcend his disability.
This man, the soldier of life, came to my hometown 2 months ago. I got tolisten to him, and talk to him, face to face. I could never forget the look inhis face when he said “when I was young, I always feel cold, and dark. My firstdream was to grow arms and legs, but there is no future for me at all. ” Andnow, 28 years has passed since he was born, 28 years without arms and legs.Nick’s first dream didn't come true, but he didn't lose his faith of himself,and the faith of this life.
Nick is living a life without limbs, and also a life without limits.Compare to him, young people, there is no excuses to lose our faith in ourselvesand this world. I understand that life couldn't be anything we want it to be,and life couldn't bring us everything we long for, sometimes, life even takesaway our cherished ones. However, we are young; we are the hope of the wholeworld. Faith is right there within our reach.
Never lose faith, let us make to our life, to our future a dearpromise.
Dear teachers and fellow students,Everybody is good!
"Firecrackers in New Year's Eve, spring breeze into the toso. Find Tong Tong, always put the new peach in the old character ", this poem describes the scene of the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival, commonly known as the Chinese New Year, is the first day of the Lunar New Year, the most solemn traditional Festival of the Chinese nation, since the period of Yu Shun, has been more than 4000 years of history.
Spring Festival day is also the most lively day of the year, everywhere can be seen with fireworks chasing children; Strangers met will also look at each other smile each other a happy New Year; Streets and alleys are decorated with lights, couplets are posted on every door, and even every tree by the river is covered with red lanterns, as if the whole city is integrated into the happy atmosphere of the New Year.
At home, my grandmother and mother are busy in the kitchen preparing the dinner for New Year's Eve, while the men are responsible for hanging lanterns on every small tree in the yard. Wait until the dinner time, the whole family sit together, while eating the rich dinner on the table, while telling the fun of the past year, the younger generation will toast to the elders, send each other the most sincere New Year wishes. At the same time out of the window, the sound of smoke exploding bamboo rose and fell, standing on the balcony to see, a colorful spark across the dark night sky, is fleeting, is also continuous. Look far, the whole city is brightly lit, is the lamp world, the lamp ocean; Like fairies scattered flowers, like stars.
Once I often ask adults what is the flavor of the New Year, but now I think the interpretation of the flavor of the New Year is varied, but my favorite is the family reunion together to eat the New Year's Eve dinner, streets decorated with lights, people laugh and smile, word of mouth happy New Year.
Thank you!
Atoms for Peace Members of the General Assembly: auto will remain steadfast in its support of this body.This we shall do in the conviction that you will provide a great share of the wisdom, of the courage, and the faith which can bring to this world lasting peace for all nations, and happiness and well-being for all men.VerdanaI therefore decided that this occasion warranted my saying to you some of the things that have been on the minds and hearts of my legislative and executive associates, and on mine, for a great many months -- thoughts I had originally planned to say primarily to the American people.Nevertheless, I assure you that in our deliberations on that lovely island we sought to invoke those same great concepts of universal peace and human dignity which are so cleanly etched in your Charter.Neither would it be a measure of this great opportunity merely to recite, however hopefully, pious platitudes.
My dear friends,
Hello everybody! My name is Chen Xuanlin. It is my pleasure to be here to share my opinions of growing pains.
Grow up, like a boat in my life, driving the wave surface. Sometimes, be in calm, sometimes be in rough. But the boat I was growing up, not everything is going. For me, sour,sweet,bitter,ho t,everything .
Now, as I grow up, are becoming adults, so in the eyes of parents, I was no longer to be a kid. Sometimes, they say "you've grown up,not a children!" When I listen to this,my head will be pain.
When I was a little boy, my life is so relaxed.But now, in front of the waves are bigger, and more twists and turns the sea,I become a middle school student, that I have all gone past. I'm taller, homework more, study more subjects,have more test.When I was a boy, I am wrong no matter what happened, no one to blame me.But now,if I do something wrong,my parents will shout. The relaxe time will far away from me.I will be more busy.
Study pressure always troubling me. Grown up, more work gradually like hills. After school, I do not dare to play, to see their favorite book, I'm afraid I can't complete the work, I can only try very hard to make the pen in my book on wave, for example, I have to run on the way home. The course also gradually heavy. Every home in the evening review, I looked at a lot of books, I really do not know to study what subject, is Chinese? Or math? Or geography? Or……
What should I do? To look life in the future.
Some people say, you like. Our little progress and a little bit of resultsall gather the sweat of your hard work. Do you like the ship, led us to the seaof knowledge. Do you like hard gardener, to spread the knowledge of the rainevery day, we are nourishing the young trees.
You, whether it is frustrated or happy, you will always be accompanied bythe light of our. Teacher, why are you for nothing? You needn't have stayed uplate into the night without holding the mark; the exhausted body to ussmile.
Teacher, you are a construction worker, we are brick, you use the sweat tobuild us a house. Teacher, although you have no earth shattering performance.However, you to our growth not gave up how many days off endured many sleeplessnights, as you are a candle, burning themselves, others lit, you in a lifetimeof effort to cultivate our these flowers, the teacher is human soulengineer!
Teacher I want to say to you: "dear teacher, I thank you! I am verygrateful to you to accompany us through this turning point in life, toilluminate the road ahead of us."
I’d like to ask you to point out your favorite country if here is a map. Maybe you will choose the United States for the freedom; maybe you will choose French for the romantic. I’d like to say that these are nice countries for traveling. But there is one country in the bottom of my heart, and I will be proud of her forever, that’s China一一my motherland!
Our great motherland is one of the largest countries in the world. It has a population of over thirteen hundred million. Beijing is its capital.
It’s needless to say that China has a long China is a strong and developing country. Facts have proved that China is a powerful, invincible. If anyone asked, we will proudly say that I am Chinese.I am proud of you一一China.
I am a primary school student now; I know that all of us are the future of our nation. So, what we need to do is to study hard step by step, listen carefully in the class and do homework everyday so that we can dedicate ourselves to our nation when we grown up! That’s my speech! Thank you for listening.
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.
It’s beyond reproach that we will come across all kinds of difficulties andchallenges in our life time .Some will be subjected to frequent sadness .Somewill lose their way to move on .Thus,only when we equip ourselves with hope andcourage can we finally succeed in the uncertain future.
Forrest Gump showed so great courage in the movie that he touched me a lot. For one thing,no matter when and where Jenny got into trouble ,Forrest Gumpwould bring her out of it without thinking how dangerous the situation would be.Maybe we should all fell ashamed that we love ourselves more than we love love,but Forrest showed great courage in love .For another,Forrest gump risked hislife to save Bubba in the war.It’s courage that helped Forrest gain a series ofhonor after war .Forrest Gump is beautiful for his perseverance and touchesothers with his courage.
A person can’t do without courage in terms of love and friendship ,letalone life . A weak person may avoid the difficulties ,but a person with couragewill face up to it head-on. Therefore,let’equip ourselves with greatcourage.

我们一生中遇到各种困难和挑战是无可指责的,有些人会经常悲伤,有些人将失去前进的道路,只有当我们有希望和勇气时,我们才能在不确定的将来取得成功。
阿甘在电影中表现出如此大的勇气,他深深地打动了我。对于一件事,无论何时何地,詹妮陷入了麻烦,阿甘会带她出来不思考如何危险的情况会。也许我们都应该感到惭愧,我们爱自己比我们更爱的爱,但福雷斯特表现出了巨大的勇气的爱。另一方面,阿甘冒着生命危险去救Bubba在战争中,它的勇气使福雷斯特战争后获得一系列荣誉。阿甘是美丽的他的毅力和触动别人的勇气。
在爱情和友谊方面,一个人不能没有勇气,更不用说生活了。弱者可以逃避困难,但有勇气的人会勇敢地面对困难。因此,让我们以极大的勇气武装自己。
A Brother Like That A Brother Like That A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. "Is this your car, Mister?"
he said. Paul nodded. "My brother gave it to me for Christmas."
The boy was astounded. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing? Boy, I wish . . ."
He hesitated. Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels. "I wish,"
the boy went on, "That I could be a brother like that."
Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, "Would you like to take a ride in my car?"
"Oh yes, Id love that."
After a short ride, the boy turned with his eyes aglow, said, "Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?"
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?"
the boy asked. He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car. "There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day Im gonna give you one just like it . . . then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that Ive been trying to tell you about."
Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride. That Christmas Eve, Paul learned what Jesus meant when he said: "It is more blessed to give . . . "
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:
Today I would like to begin with a story. There was once a physical therapist who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a census about mountain gorillas. These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world; this put them severely under threat of poaching and being put into the zoo. She went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures. She witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we've ever been, where in the very depth of the African rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas cuddled their babies.
Yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called Gorillas in the Mist, based on a true story of Mrs. Diana Fossey, who spent most of her lifetime in Rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.
To me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our eco-environment.
Today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems. On the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go. It has become a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in GDP growth. It has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity. But on the other hand, many problems can occur - natural scenes aren't natural anymore. Deforestation to heat lodges are devastating Nepal. Oil spills from tourist boats are polluting Antarctica. Tribal people are forsaking their native music and dress to listen to U2 on Walkman and wear Nike and Reeboks.
All these appalling facts have brought us to the realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been eroding our resources. Encouragingly, the explosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the United Nations has made 20xx the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the world's attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our ecoenvironment.
Now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection organizations are receiving donations - big notes, small notes or even coins - from housewives, plumbers, ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and invalids. Some of them cannot afford to send the money but they do. These are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood. Why? Because they care. Because they still want their Mother Nature back. Because they know it still belongs to them.
This kind of feeling that I have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it , it's all coming from a scene to be remembered, a scene to recall and to cherish.
The other night, as I saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs. I found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to something else, someplace else, a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seemed to have been except the deer.
And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's time for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.
Once again, I have come to think of Mrs. Diana Fossey because it is with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.
And no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our minds, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.
Thank you very much.
让游戏闪亮你的英语课堂
游戏在英语课堂上的重要性都快比得上水之于鱼了,很难想象一堂课上,如果没有了游戏,该怎么继续。不论高年级还是低年级,在游戏中学习都是一种十分有效的学习方式。低年级学生好动又好胜,游戏能让他们在动身体的同时动脑,并且享受成功的喜悦。高年级的课堂相对而言比较乏味,适时的游戏会是绝佳的作料。好的游戏能让一堂沉闷的英语课活跃起来,是学生学习的兴奋的药剂。
一、游戏的安排应讲究一个“适”字,适时、适式、适度。
(一)适时组织游戏
看准时机,针对学生的实际安排合适的游戏形式。
1.让学生从思想上尽快进入英语课堂,游戏导入是个相当快捷、有效的方法。我们可以安排listen and do,listen and point,look and say,flash and say等操作简单,但具有检查性质的游戏。学生在玩游戏的同时,复习了旧知识,情感上也得到了体验。而从这些旧知识的复习,我们可以自然过渡到新知识的传授,温故知新,以旧带新,一举两得。
2.在复习巩固阶段,最忌讳的是机械操练。游戏能使复习变得生动。比如我们学了一系列水果以后,安排老师拿一个水果,学生说出来的环节,但反复几次之后,学生的积极性就会减弱。这时,我们安排游戏Who is missing?Who is fast?Magic eyes等,学生的积极性就会立刻恢复,一只只小手又会争先恐后地举
起。
3.当学生的脸上闪过“无聊”、“困惑”的痕迹时,游戏可解“燃眉之急”。高年级的学生面临背单词、记单词的难题。如果不讲究方法地死记硬背,不但效果不好,学生的兴趣也会逐渐降低。在这个阶段,如果能帮助他们掌握正确的方法,促使他们主动背单词,就会对他们以后的英语学习有很大的帮助。单词接龙、吊死鬼、寻找共同点等游戏,不仅让学生始终处于积极思考的状态,而且能提高他们课后记单词的兴趣。
(二)适式组织游戏
有些游戏的可用性很强,如copy不走样等游戏,无论什么内容,都能套用。但有些游戏,却不是什么内容都合适的。教师要学会使用最恰当的游戏,如flash and guess这样的游戏仅适合单词教学,而不适合巩固句型。
不同年龄阶段的学生,对游戏的口味也不同,我们要学会投其所好。低年级的学生喜欢趣味性强的,如copy不走样,high voice and low voice能引起他们参与的欲望。而高年级的学生则喜欢探索型的游戏,比如bingo、加减运算对抗赛就很受他们的欢迎。
(三)适度组织游戏
在教学中,我们不能只为让学生放松、玩乐而安排游戏,归根结底,游戏是为教学服务的。在游戏活动之前,我们必须指定相应的规则,没有规则,游戏过程就会很“乱”,有规则才能“活而
有序”。当学生的“玩性”到五、六成的时候,我们的游戏就该结束了。因为如果游戏结束太早,学生才刚进入游戏状态,熟悉游戏规则,就结束游戏,一来扫兴,二来游戏的“运用语言”的目的也没达到。如果游戏结束得太晚,学生就会越来越无聊,下次再玩这类游戏就没有了热情。
二、游戏的组织,还要讲究一个“变”字——以不变应万变。
(一)巧设陷阱
同一个游戏“发口令,做动作”,一般都是教师怎么发,学生怎么做,最多让一个学生发,其他学生做,偶尔做做反口令,分组进行比赛。做多了,学生的好奇心没有了,游戏就变成了机械操练。如果设几个陷阱,就会有“眼睛一眨,老母鸡变鸭”的效果。趣味性的调节就是教师在做动作的时候,可以先慢慢地好像在做“坐下”的动作,眼神一定要是那种坏坏的,然后突然变成“起立”,让学生产生和教师斗下去的欲望。师生成了“敌人”,而游戏就成了“战争”。把动作和语言结合起来,边做动作边说,动作和口令有时一致,有时不一致。在训练学生对所学知识掌握的同时,还训练了学生的反应能力。
(二)变换速度
随着学生对知识的掌握逐渐加深,训练的速度可以逐渐加快,这不但适合学习的规律,还使原本枯燥的操练重新显出生气,学生逐渐淡化的新奇感又被激起。
(三)奖励机制的运用
在教育中,我们能体会到表扬和激励对学生起的作用比批评更大。在老师的激励下,学生的探索精神更易发挥,更容易学会原本以为很难学的东西。我常常采用口头表扬,认为给学生物质奖励会使他们变得功利,但在同事们的感染下,偶尔尝试奖励,也取得了很好的激励效果。我用小五星激励学生,常常搞得自己整个黄昏剪五角星,有时,一节课奖多了,自己还有点心疼,最重要的是用多了学生还不稀罕了。其实我们可以尝试用加分的方法,注意分值有区别,加分要敏感,时时注意给学生以表扬,让学生得到认可。这样一来,不但让自己得到解脱,更使奖励更具可变性。
(四)以人为本
教育的对象是人,所以教育应当以人为本。在游戏中,教师的神态、语态、眼神、动作是十分重要的,教师要用主持人一般的激情,让每个学生都感觉到老师的召唤。我相信教师只有投入情感,学生才会给予相应的回报。
当我们感到教学有一丝疲倦的时候,一个小游戏会赶走疲倦,让我们放松那根紧绷的弦,重新振作精神。当我们感到教学有一点枯燥的时候,一个小游戏会把欢笑带来,当笑声充满教室时,我们的心也跟着飞舞。当我们感到教学有些沉闷的时候,一个小游戏让我们的脑袋重新思考,手脑并用,边玩乐边学习。小学英语课堂里的游戏魅力无穷。
Awesome Love
Good afternoon. Ladies and Gentlemen,
Today I will say something about my family love.
I remember when I was younger. My family lived a simple life. We weren't wealthy by any stretch of the imagination, but we were content with what we had.
Our first vehicle was an old broken-down bicycle. It provided us with transportation on many enjoyable weekends and holidays. Mom sat on the back while Dad pedaled. I, a mere toddler at the time, rode on the bar in front of him. It didn't matter where we were going as long as we were going there together.
Not long after that, my family moved to Hainan. Relying on my parents, courage and persistence, they started their own business. As a result, we were soon able to replace the bike with a new car. So we could travel further on our excursions. Our family's happy laughter filled the car as we traveled to many distant locations in China. Many years have gone by since those happy days, but we're still as close as ever.
Recently, the airplane has become our mode of transportation as we venture beyond the confines of China to see the world. We were able to experience firsthand the uniqueness of Amsterdam, the romance of Paris, and the elegance of Vienna. But yet, such fantastic sites were nothing compared to the love of our family.
Time goes by swiftly, and everything is changing all the time.Yet the love existing in my family always remains. It is the source of our happiness; It,s the source of all of our ideals: confidence, courage, and faith. But it goes so much deeper than that; it warms our very hearts. So I will acclaim for the eternal and awesome love in my family and let it go on forever!
Thank you very much!
亲情
厩得在我很小的时候,家里的日子过得朴实无华,不富裕的家境容不得半点的奢侈。但是,我们对所拥有的一切都感到满足与惬意。
一辆破旧的自行车是我们全家的第一个交通工具。但它为我们带来了许许多多快乐的周末与假期。记得妈妈总是坐在后座上,爸爸骑着车,而丁点儿大的我就呆在车子的前梁上。在我们的短程旅途中,似乎目的地并不是最重要的',而重要的是我们在一起,享受并渡过了快乐的时光。
在那不久后,我们全家搬到了海南,凭着父母的勇气与执着不懈的努力,他们在自己的事业上很快有了出色的成绩。因此,不久后父母就将原本的脚踏车换成了一辆崭新的小课车,于是,我们就开始了长距离的旅途,在周游中国的同时,快乐的笑声总是充满着整个温馨的车厢。而那些日子虽然已经过去了很久,但是我们还是像以前那样亲密无间。
后来,在我们迈出中国游览世界的时候,飞机又成了我们的新型交通工具。我们全家一起感受阿姆斯特丹的奇异,巴黎的浪漫与维也纳的典雅。但是所有令人心动的景色都不可与旅途中我们全家浓浓的亲情相提并论。
时光如水,我们身边的一切都在无时无刻地改变着,但是亲情不变,永远不变。它是我们快乐的源泉,是我们全家理想、信心、勇气与责任的源泉。它所给予的不仅仅是这些。而更多的是心灵上的温暖与感动。所以,我要为亲情喝彩,让爱--永恒!
My hometown is Haimen. It’s not very large, but it’s very beautiful. There is less air pollution in Haimen than in other areas of Nantong. There is a beautiful park; its name is Dongzhou Park. You can exercise and go walking there. There are about one million people in Haimen. Most of us live in flats. They are not very high. There is a supermarket here. Its name is Times Supermarket. It has three floors. It is very large. There are many things in it, such as clothes, snacks, stationery, an electrical shop and a bookshop. There are lots of hotpot restaurants in Haimen. I think the Old House Hotpot Restaurant is the best. I like eating hotpot very much. There is a lot of delicious food in this restaurant.
In Haimen, there is a TV tower. It’s very high and in the evening it is very beautiful. I think there are lots of nice lights on the TV tower.
The weather in Haimen is good. In spring it’s warm. Many birds fly in the sky. The flowers are very beautiful. It’s hot in summer. We keep air-conditioners on every day. It is cool in autumn and in winter it’s very cold. Do you like my hometown?
They say that when you die your life flashes before your eyes. Will you see any-thing other than a small black box in the corner of your room? What have you changed in th world? What will you leave behind? Or maybe you are surrounded by people all the time.duanwenw. You are the center of attention and everybody loves you. You go out with your friends, partying and having fun, but what about in the morning? You wake up with a severe headache and an upset stomach. What about your death? Do you think it was time to go? You could be the exact opposite. You may want pany, but for whatever reason not have it. Maybe you’re scared or shy. You go home, lock yourself in your room, and sink into anger. Are you an adventurer? Will your love of adventure lead to your end? You can never be quite sure when your heart and spirit will be broken. All your adventures will one day be forgotten and it will all have been for nothing.
Or maybe you played it safe your entire life. You outlived all those others, but what for? You never did anything great; you never made anything of yourself. You’re alone in all your security, but that worth it? You just took up space on th earth. They say that when you die, your life flashes before your eyes. What will you see?
i'm talking about your coworkers and your spouses and your children and the person sitting next to you right now -- all of them subject to this bias that is pretty deep and real in our society. we all internalize it from a very early age without even having a language for what we're doing.
now to see the bias clearly you need to understand what introversion is. it's different from being shy. shyness is about fear of social judgment. introversion is more about, how do you respond to stimulation, including social stimulation. so extroverts really crave large amounts of stimulation, whereas introverts feel at their most alive and their most switched-on and their most capable when they're in quieter, more low-key environments. not all the time -- these things aren't absolute -- but a lot of the time. so the key then to maximizing our talents is for us all to put ourselves in the zone of stimulation that is right for us.

some say mediocre students are similar, not mediocre students each have their own glory. although i don't think my life is brilliant, and failure of comparison but i'm glad i gainmuch more than i lost. every one of us dreams of the university halls, in order to come to the palace we experience hardships. now that we have crossed the threshold, so we have a lot of personality in the halls of this dream. college is not a fantasy, not a dream, and certainly not delusional, but our great ideal. as long as we are fighting for. some day we will achieve everything! you will hear maple stream boat, you will see kim laughs, and you'll smell the fruit fragrance, because you have been in the harvest season!
敬爱的老师、亲爱的同学们:
大家好!今天我讲话的题目是:与好书为友,以读书为乐。
Dearleaders and school fellows, good morning, today my speech is "Be a friend ofgood books and enjoy reading"!
书是人类进步的阶梯。生活里没有书籍,就好像大地没有阳光;智慧里没有书籍,就好像鸟儿没有翅膀。读书是成长的基石,读书是精彩人生的开始。古今中外众多志士伟人都是勤奋读书的楷模。
Books are the ladders of human progress. A life without a book is likethe earth without sunshine. Reading is the foundation of our growth, reading isthe beginning of a wonderful life. Many great men in history are our rolemodels .
周恩来为中华崛起而读书。毛泽东一生爱读书,无论是战争年代还是和平时期,只要一有闲暇时间就读书,而且他不动笔墨不看书,读书时在重要的地方划上圈、杠、点等各种符号,在书上空白的地方写上批语,有时还把书中重要的内容摘录下来,或随时写下读书的心得体会,并把学习所得运用到实践中去,指导中国革命。鲁迅少年时,冬天晚上读书冷,就把辣椒放在口中嚼,用辣椒驱寒,坚持读书。世界文学家高尔基就曾借着月光读书,在楼顶读书,在老板的皮鞭下读书。对读书的痴迷,终于把他造就为世界文学巨匠。正如高尔基自己所说:"书籍使我变成了一个幸福的人".世纪老人冰心曾教导我们 "读书好,好读书,读好书".
Premier Zhoustudied for a rising China. while Chairman Mao loved reading all his life.Whether it was in wartime or in peacetime, Chairman Mao would spare some timereading.He also made some comments where is necessary. When Luxun was young, hechewed hot peppers to keep from the cold. The world famous writer Gao erji onceread the books by moonlight on the top of the roof. The obsession with books,finally made him the masters of world literature. As gorky said books make meinto a happy man. Bing Xin said: " Reading is good, read more books andread often.
开学典礼上,李春雷校长号召同学们开展"读书、运动、探究"活动,阐述了读书的深远意义。学校为鼓励同学们读书,开展了读好书赠书刊,家长孩子共读一本书活动。刚刚过去的寒假,高中部向每个学生家长推荐了阅读书目,并写阅读体会,得到了家长的普遍好评。九(3)班刘浚凯同学的父亲在阅读体会中写到:谢谢学校假期给家长们安排的读书作业,让我在读书中领悟到今后如何让孩子快乐读书,早点形成独立能力,勇于生活,热爱生活,活得更有意义,并及时纠正了我的一些教育观念。
In theschool opening ceremony, Mr Li called on us to read, to explore and to research.In order to encourage students to read more, a variety of activities have beencarried out, such as sharing a good book with your parents and writing feelsfor them. Liu Junkai ‘s father from Class 3 Grade said in his reading notes,thanks to these meaningful reading activities, I began to realize theimportance of reading for a child, and I would like to help my son form acorrect reading habits from now on .
读书带给我们最隽永的乐趣、最恒久的动力;读书带给我们平和的心态、精神的慰藉。经典诗句,让我们充满智慧;童话故事,让我们浮想联翩;历史巨著,让我们博古知今;科普书籍,让我们思维缜密……
Thepleasure of reading brings us the most permanent power. Reading brings us peaceof mind, spiritual comfort. The classic verses will let us full of wisdom. Thehistorical documents will make us be well versed in both ancient and modern literature,the popular science books help us to be thoughtful.
同学们,知识改变命运,学习成就未来。希望大家与好书为友,以读书为乐。行动起来吧,让浓浓的书香溢满我们的校园!
我的讲话完毕,谢谢大家!
Myschoolmates, knowledge can change fate. Learning achieves future. We hopeeveryone will be a friend of good books and enjoy reading. Why not startreading now? Let the books infiltrate the campus.
That’sall. Thanks for listening.
First of all, I want to thank you all for coming to this party. I have thrown this party, because I wanted to thank you all for being kind to me while I have been here.Looking back, it seems like a very short five years living here and working together with you. My wife and I still remember the first day we arrived in Los Angeles, and every thing looked so huge, compared with things in Taipei. The first several months were a difficult time, but we tried very hard to adapt ourselves to the new environment, new life style, and a new place of work. There were times of disappointment, anger, and humiliation, and there were also times of joy, excitement, and happiness, Through them all, you have always been with us to share the sorrow and happiness, and we are deeply grateful to you for that.Millions of thanks to you all, and don't forget to finish your dinner before it gets cold.
