The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of an

optimistic mindset. Definitely, no once can deny the importance of it. An

optimistic mindset can help us achieve our objectives more

smoothly and realize our dreams more rapidly. By being optimistic. we can

face challenges and surmount hardships with confidence，keep sober and figure out

effective measures even in desperate

situations. To further illustrate the importance of being optimistic, I

would like to take Beethoven as a case in point: how could he, a great German

music composer who became deaf at his forties,

compose so many enduring and classic symphonies without

optimism?

Accordingly, at no time should we overlook the power of

optimism. once coming across frustrations and intending to give up,

we should remind ourselves that it is optimism that will finally lead us to

turn the corner. “the optimistic sees the rose， and the pessimistic sees the

thorn.” A philosopher once said.

If your life feels like it is lacking the power that you want and the

motivation that you need, sometimes all you have to do is shift your point of

view. By training your thoughts to concentrate on the bright side of things, you

are more likely to have the incentive to follow through on your goals. You are

less likely to be held back by negative ideas that might limit your

performance.Your life can be enhanced, and your happiness enriched, when you

choose to change your perspective. Don't leave your future to chance, or wait

for things to get better mysteriously on their own. You must go in the direction

of your hopes and aspirations. Begin to build your confidence, and work through

problems rather than avoid them. Remember that power is not necessarily control

over situations, but the ability to deal with whatever comes your way. Always

believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons

that lead to discoveries. Take your fear and transform it into trust; learn to

rise above anxiety and doubt. Turn your "worry hours" into "productive hours".

Take the energy that you have wasted and direct it toward every worthwhile

effort that you can be involved in. You will see beautiful things happen when

you allow yourself to experience the joys of life. You will find happiness when

you adopt positive thinking into your daily routine and make it an important

part of your world.

如果你觉得心有余力不足，觉得缺乏前进的动力，有时候你只需要改变思维的角度。试着训练自己的思想朝好的一面看，这样你就会汲取实现目标的动力，而不会因为消极沉沦停滞不前。一旦变换看问题的角度，你的生活会豁然开朗，幸福快乐会接踵而来。别交出掌握命运的主动权，也别指望局面会不可思议的好转。你必须与内心希望与热情步调一致。建立自信，敢于与困难短兵相接，而非绕道而行。记住，力量不是驾驭局势的法宝，无坚不摧的能力才是最重要的。

请坚信，美好的降临并非不可能，失误也许是成功的前奏。将惶恐化作信任，学会超越担忧和疑虑。让“诚惶诚恐”的时光变得“富有成效”。不要挥霍浪费精力，将它投到有意义的事情中去。当你下意识品尝生命的欢愉时，美好就会出现。当你积极地看待生活，并以此作为你的日常准则时，你就会找到快乐的真谛。

Hello, schoolmates and teachers.

Good afternoon, everybody!

I'm Pang Qiyuan, from Class 2, Senior 3.

Today I'm very happy here to talk about my dream. I hope you can support me and do me a favor, OK?

Dream likes a beautiful flower. Different people have different dreams.They make the earth colorful and wonderful. A dream is a target in life, in which it can give people power. It can show people the directions and final destinations.

I have three dreams. My first dream is that I wish I could go to college some day, which is also the one of many other students' dreams. Going to college for further education can not only enrich our knowledge, but also teach us how to behave better. I always imagine that the college life must be very interesting. This dream gives me energy to study harder and harder. Now I'm trying my best to make it come true. Sure, I have enough confidence to realize my dream.

My second dream is becoming an excellent doctor. I always dream that I could turn a doctor like Bai Qiuen, so that I could cure a lot of patients, help them get rid of sick devil, let them lead a healthy and happy life, and finally I will feel happy, too.

My third dream is that all the people together with the surroundings can live in perfect harmony. There are no quarrellings, no cheatings, and no wars in the world. We should be kind to each other, love each other and care each other. All the people in the world could get along as well as a big family with each other. I dream that we could enjoy absolute peace and freedom.

These are my dreams. How I wish that they could come true soon!

Thank you.

晚进行的，是中英文演讲比赛。

最终我们小组拿到中等的名次，结果不是重要的，重要的是过程，我还记得那天下午大家一起排练讨论得很开心，不同的想法合起来我们的演讲就包含了不用的元素，这些都是我之前完全没预想到的。组长安排的更是合理，每个人都得到充分的发挥。

演员组成员搞怪的表演彻底点燃了观众的热情，这对我们演讲组的成员起到了很大的支持。

ppt制作组的成员在幕后的辛勤劳动，没有他们没有我们今晚条理工整的ppt。

最后还有演讲组的两位搭档，我们反复商量排练了n次，内容不断地加加减减，期间大家都付出了很多的精力和时间，纵使最后有一点点的缺憾，但努力过，我们觉得这就足够了。

在这里很想对大家说声谢谢，虽然你们未必看得到，但真的，过了这次活动我才发现我们小组有这么多可爱的人，今天晚上的presentation真的很成功。谢谢!谢谢!

至于我，纵然大二微生物的那次演讲惨不忍睹，但这次我还是选择了上台演讲，很大程度上也多得组员们的推举，谢谢你们的信任，让我今晚有迈出了我人生的新一步。

这次上台是为挑战一下自己的comfort zone，我想试一下到底我可以到达怎样的程度。

做得好的部分：

1.结果相比上次好了一点，上台的时候我只有小小的一点紧张，原因是做好了较充足的准备，稿子基本上能够背出来，然后在上台之前特意放松了一下自己的心情，更重要的，我想是来自身边组员的支持，有他们，我知道我不用孤军作战，只需要把自己的部分做好就可以了。

2.在演讲的时候我刻意保持自己的站姿，避免歪歪斜斜的。

3.声音还算清晰稳定，据骷髅坚反映说有气场! 这是出于不断练习所产生的一点点自信。

不足之处：

1.英文并不能做到脱口而出，个别的词语还是会卡壳，相比伦姐的英语，只能自行惭愧。

2.看观众眼神不够自然，自始至终都忘了看坐第一排的老师。

3.临场应变能力极为欠缺，所幸后来还是把话给说回来了。

In the morning, the sun was so small that the stars remained in the sky. A

drop of dew fell down the leaves, and a small one of them fell in one of the

large tracts of land.

At this time, I am walking in the natural environment. Smelling the fresh

air, I seemed to be dreaming. A clear wind blew through the leaves and the

rustling of leaves

"Oh, time is running out! In the sound of the rustling, I seemed to hear

something, as if someone were crying. "Alas, time is running out, my poor

brothers and sisters ah, where are you? Also won't blame you, human beings

constantly cut down a tree wood, also don't know how you are now. In the

environment, also let I can't stand fast. I am old, really want to have a few

brothers and sisters around. However, these dreams can't come true."

A grass sprout has come out of the earth. "Oh, what a wonderful world! But

where are my brothers and sisters? My mother left me, and left me."

The ghostly wind blowing, indigoeyes said: "the grass ah, your loved ones

are being taken away by human beings. They are due to not adapt to the

environment, there is less than a few days, will die, some being thrown in the

street, let the human pressure on car, have flat couldn't be flat."

"My family." "The grass cried and cried." dear friends, you haven't seen me

sprout out of the land yet, and I haven't seen how I thrive. How can I go

first?"

At that moment, the sound of the forest grew louder and louder, and they

were talking and crying. All of a sudden I heard, "we're going to retaliate

against humanity!"

An elder said, "no, humans still is our good friend, we are not able to

repay them. People like us, cannot leave the nature, this may be the human was

stupid, but I still believe that man will wake up, it's just sooner or later. I

hope human wake up quickly."

I was awakened by the noise of a bird, and I stood still in the silent

forest, but a few sad words had been echoing on my side.

Suddenly, I seem to understand what!

The traditional food for the Dragon Boat Festival,Zong zi is a glutinous

rice ball,with a filling,wrapped in corn leaves.The fillings can be

egg,beans,dates,fruits,sweet potato,walnuts,mushrooms,meat,or a combination of

them.They are generally steamed.

同学们,你们好!

这几天大街上到处挂满了和圣诞节有关的东西，什么圣诞老人啦，圣诞树啦，用糖果和姜饼搭成的姜饼屋啦，真令人眼花缭乱。

什么是圣诞节呢?每年的12月25日，是西方基督教徒纪念耶稣诞生的日子，称为圣诞节。从12月24日到1月6日为圣诞节节期，是一年中最盛大的节日，就像我国的春节。

今天是20xx年12月24日，是平安夜!在美国，晚上，全家人会团聚在客厅，围在圣诞树旁唱歌跳舞，互送礼物。他们还把家门口的树上都挂上彩灯，比谁有创意。灯一亮，很远就能看见闪闪发亮的树的轮廓，非常漂亮。一群可爱的小孩子，会手拿诗歌弹着吉他，一家一家的唱着诗歌报佳音。孩子们晚上会在壁炉上悬挂圣诞袜，因为据说圣诞老人会驾着驯鹿雪橇，满载着礼物，送给这一年来表现很好的小朋友。他会悄悄地从烟囱爬进屋内，把礼物塞进挂在床头的袜子里。当然，实际上，这些礼物都是爸爸妈妈塞进袜子里的。过了今天明天就是圣诞节!你们看我今天特地戴了一个圣诞帽，明天啊我还要在枕头旁边放一只袜子，等圣诞老人晚上偷偷的放礼物进去，圣诞节是外国人一年中最盛大的节日,就象我们中国的新年一样，都会有很隆重的仪式。

圣诞节也是我们小朋友狂欢的节日，我们可以一起唱圣诞歌，和好朋友一起互相赠送礼物，说祝福的话。

圣诞节的到来，也是新年的到来，马上我们中国的新年就要来了，在这里，我们要祝所有的小朋友和老师们圣诞快乐，新年快乐!

My View on Optimistic Attitude to Life

For the majority of people, life is full of trifles that trouble us a lot.

Sure, I know that trifle exists. However, from my perspective, trivial matters

are not all.

Once on a time, I was not optimistic about frustrations and was subject to

pessimistic when confronted with trifles. However, things began to change when I

was selected to be a monitor that service classmates, notice something important

and sometimes organize some meaningful activities. Besides, it needs me to have

enough abilities to schedule time in order to ensure that I have ample time to

study.

I'll never forget the very day when I failed at the mid-term exam when I

was crazy and pessimistic about the trifles such as training sessions that

didn't give me a second to study. It's true that score is one of the most

important things to a college student, so after that, I began to schedule my

time

accurately and scientifically. From the warning of the mid-term exam, I

have changed a lot, and get through the final exam successfully in the end.

Thanks to the selection, thanks to the mid-term exam, I eventually learned

the significance of optimism, which serves as indispensable components or

personality and is beneficial to a promising prospect.

wash your face with dew.

as we know, you have to learn how to fly much more independently instead of under your parents’ considerate protection when you get into college, which also means you will come across enormous questions that should be solved by yourself. from my point of view, those main problems can fall into three parts.

first of all, the complicated relationship. for one thing, you have to know how cultural differences function in your relationship and respect them. in addition, college students spend less time studying together owing to different courses’ choosing, which requires us to devote more energy to building relationship. for the other thing, it is also vital to communicate with your parents often by using mobile phones or other tools.

secondly, the temptations. the college serves us a more relaxed environment mixed with other temptations such as the internet, alcohols and so on. what’s more, the college teachers won’t compel you to study like before, you doze off or play cell phone in class, and you flee up the morning class because you get up too late. such too frequent behaviors will cripple your passion and enthusiasm towards life, so it is essential for us to resist these temptations and insist pursuing our own goals.

thirdly, the balance between study and work. most of us will choose to take a part time job to earn the extra money or just to exercise ourselves. but it is significant to keep a relatively balanced relationship between them since i always regard the study as our main task, so my principle is adjusting work to follow the schedule of study.

in conclusion, whatever issues we meet or miseries we suffer from, confront the hash reality head on, what we can do is remembering the past, living in the present and looking forward to the future.

为了丰富广大同学的课余生活，加强英语的学习与交流，提高同学们学习英语的积极性; 给广大同学提供一个自我锻炼、展示自我的舞台，我院社团联合会英语协会决定举办:“水院之星”英语演讲比赛，我们协会在得到老师和同学的支持下，于本月举行了英语演讲比赛，此次比赛主要针对全院的大一的学生。大一学生参加的积极性很高，报名人数也很多，在我院大一学生新生中有一定的影响力，比赛设有预赛和决赛，本次比赛采取“公平，公正，公开”的比赛原则，此次活动是南湖校区与汤逊湖校区首次联谊比赛。

在比赛的前期，两个校区都在各自在本校做了许多关于对本次活动的宣传活动，鼓励各系各班的同学积极参加，预赛是两校区在各自的本部举办，南湖校区报名参赛40名。汤逊湖校区报名参赛60几名，预赛于10月31号举行，，经过一轮又一轮的角逐，在评委的公正评判下，南湖校区总共有11名参赛选手进入决赛，汤逊湖校区有19名进入决赛。决赛于11月8号下午2：00在南湖校区二楼报告厅拉开的帷幕，

决赛荣幸地邀请了英语组组长胡志红老师、许俊老师、廖兆慧老师、王婷老师、余慧敏老师，胡雅文老师作为本次演讲比赛决赛的评委,，决赛时所有参赛者都表现出超常的发挥，比赛也进行的异常的激烈，在评委老师的严格评判下，最后共有十名同学获奖，一等奖一名邢垒;二等奖二名代雪梅、田伟;三等奖三名陈筱婷、梁帅、秦毛玲;优秀奖四名邓燕玲、张志晨、聂德龙、杨冲。此次活动旨在提高全院同学英语口语，使同学积累更多的演讲的经验。

此次活动虽然整体看起来是成功的，但是也有存在许多不足的地方，首先作为本次活动的策划人及负责人，我有许多问题没考虑到，例如;决赛的比赛形式难度过大及比赛时给参赛者准备的时间不足，导致许多参赛者上台比赛产生慌场的现象和导致许多参赛者没法完全发挥出来，给比赛带来许多的不便，还有就是决赛前的准备工作做得很伧促，导致比赛延迟了十分钟的。但是在全体协会的成员共同努力下比赛还是顺利进行了，此次活动有不足也有完美之处，通过本次比赛使我们学会了很多，也明白了许多。希望下一次能把第八届搞得更好。

Everyone has his ownunderstanding of young,it is a period of time of beauty and wonders,only after you have experienced the sour ,sweet ,bitter and salty can you really become a person of significance.thre time of young is limitted,it may pass by without your attention,and when you discover what has happened ,it is always too late.grasping the young well means a better time is waiting for you in the near future,or the situation may be opposite .

Having a view on these great men in the history of hunmanbeing,they all made full use of their youth time ,to do things that are useful to society,to the whole mankind,and as a cosquence ,they are remembered by later

Generations,admired by everyone.so do something in the time of young,although you may not get achievements as these greatmen did ,though not for the whole word,just for youeself,for those around!

The young is just like blooming flowers,they are so beautiful when blooming,they make people feel happy,but with time passing by,after they withers ,moet people think they are ugly.and so it is the same with young,we are enthusiastic when we are young,then we may lose our passion when getting older and older.so we must treasure it ,don't let the limitted time pass by ,leaving nothing of significance.

婚礼主持词英文版

Minister:

We are gathered here today to witness the coming together of two people， ____ and ____， whose hearts and spirits are entwined as one， They now desire to profess before all the world their intention henceforth to walk the road of life together。

To these two young people， this marriage signifies the birth of a new spirit， a spirit which is a part of each of us， yet not of any one of us alone。 This “birth of spirit” reminds us of spring， the season when all life is reborn and looms again。 It is appropriate， therefore， that this wedding of ____ and ____ be in the spring， and that it be under the open sky， where we are close to the earth and to the unity of life， the totality of living things of which we are part。

The beliefs and thoughts about love which motivate these two people are perhaps best expressed in the words of poet Kahlil Gibran:

“You were born to be together， and together you shall be forevermore。

You shall be together when the wings of death scatter your days。

Ay， you shall be together even in your silent memory。

But let there be spaces in your togetherness，

And let the winds of the heaven dance between you。

Love one another， but make not a bondage of love。

Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls。

Fill each other's cup， but drink not from one cup。

Give one another of your bread， but eat not of the same loaf。

Sing and dance together and be joyous， but let each of you be alone，

Even as the strings of a lute are alone， though they quiver with the same music，

Give your hearts， but not into each other's keeping，

For only the hand of life can contain your hearts。

And stand together， yet not too near together，

For the pillars of the temple stand apart，

And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in shadow。”

Minister to Bride:

Do you ____， knowing this man's love for you and returning it， realizing his strengths and learning from them， recognizing his weaknesses and helping him to overcome them， take ____ to be your lawfully wedded husband?

Bride:

I do。

Minister:

Place the ring on his finger。

Minister to Groom:

Do you ____， knowing this woman's love for you and returning it， realizing her strengths and learning form them， recognizing her weaknesses and helping her to overcome them， take ____ to be your lawfully wedded wife?

Groom:

I do。

Minister:

Place the ring on her finger。 Let these rings serve as locks–not binding you together–but as keys， unlocking the secrets of your hearts for each other to know， and thus bringing you closer together forever。

And now ____ and ____， seeking the fulfillment of love and marriage， find again that the poet Gibran speaks for them:

“Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself。

To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks to another day of loving。

To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;

To return home eventide with gratitude， and then sleep with a prayer

For the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips。”

Vice President Biden, Mr. Chief Justice, Members of the United States Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens:

Each time we gather to inaugurate a president, we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution. We affirm the promise of our democracy. We recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names. What makes us exceptional – what makes us American – is our allegiance to an idea, articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Today we continue a never-ending journey, to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time. For history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they have never been self-executing; that while freedom is a gift from God, it must be secured by His people here on Earth. The patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a mob. They gave to us a Republic, a government of, and by, and for the people, entrusting each generation to keep safe our founding creed.

For more than two hundred years, we have.

Through blood drawn by lash and blood drawn by sword, we learned that no union founded on the principles of liberty and equality could survive half-slave and half-free. We made ourselves anew, and vowed to move forward together.

Together, we determined that a modern economy requires railroads and highways to speed travel and commerce; schools and colleges to train our workers.

Together, we discovered that a free market only thrives when there are rules to ensure competition and fair play.

Together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life’s worst hazards and misfortune.

Through it all, we have never relinquished our skepticism of central authority, nor have we succumbed to the fiction that all society’s ills can be cured through government alone. Our celebration of initiative and enterprise; our insistence on hard work and personal responsibility, are constants in our character.

But we have always understood that when times change, so must we; that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges; that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action. For the American people can no more meet the demands of today’s world by acting alone than American soldiers could have met the forces of fascism or communism with muskets and militias. No single person can train all the math and science teachers we’ll need to equip our children for the future, or build the roads and networks and research labs that will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores. Now, more than ever, we must do these things together, as one nation, and one people.

This generation of Americans has been tested by crises that steeled our resolve and proved our resilience. A decade of war is now ending. An economic recovery has begun. America’s possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive; diversity and openness; an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention. My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it – so long as we seize it together.

For we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it. We believe that America’s prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class. We know that America thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their work; when the wages of honest labor liberate families from the brink of hardship. We are true to our creed when a little girl born into the bleakest poverty knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else, because she is an American, she is free, and she is equal, not just in the eyes of God but also in our own.

We understand that outworn programs are inadequate to the needs of our time. We must harness new ideas and technology to remake our government, revamp our tax code, reform our schools, and empower our citizens with the skills they need to work harder, learn more, and reach higher. But while the means will change, our purpose endures: a nation that rewards the effort and determination of every single American. That is what this moment requires. That is what will give real meaning to our creed.

We, the people, still believe that every citizen deserves a basic measure of security and dignity. We must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit. But we reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future. For we remember the lessons of our past, when twilight years were spent in poverty, and parents of a child with a disability had nowhere to turn. We do not believe that in this country, freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few. We recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, any one of us, at any time, may face a job loss, or a sudden illness, or a home swept away in a terrible storm. The commitments we make to each other – through Medicare, and Medicaid, and Social Security – these things do not sap our initiative; they strengthen us. They do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great.

We, the people, still believe that our obligations as Americans are not just to ourselves, but to all posterity. We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations. Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful storms. The path towards sustainable energy sources will be long and sometimes difficult. But America cannot resist this transition; we must lead it. We cannot cede to other nations the technology that will power new jobs and new industries – we must claim its promise. That is how we will maintain our economic vitality and our national treasure – our forests and waterways; our croplands and snowcapped peaks. That is how we will preserve our planet, commanded to our care by God. That’s what will lend meaning to the creed our fathers once declared.

We, the people, still believe that enduring security and lasting peace do not require perpetual war. Our brave men and women in uniform, tempered by the flames of battle, are unmatched in skill and courage. Our citizens, seared by the memory of those we have lost, know too well the price that is paid for liberty. The knowledge of their sacrifice will keep us forever vigilant against those who would do us harm. But we are also heirs to those who won the peace and not just the war, who turned sworn enemies into the surest of friends, and we must carry those lessons into this time as well.

We will defend our people and uphold our values through strength of arms and rule of law. We will show the courage to try and resolve our differences with other nations peacefully – not because we are na?ve about the dangers we face, but because engagement can more durably lift suspicion and fear. America will remain the anchor of strong alliances in every corner of the globe; and we will renew those institutions that extend our capacity to manage crisis abroad, for no one has a greater stake in a peaceful world than its most powerful nation. We will support democracy from Asia to Africa; from the Americas to the Middle East, because our interests and our conscience compel us to act on behalf of those who long for freedom. And we must be a source of hope to the poor, the sick, the marginalized, the victims of prejudice – not out of mere charity, but because peace in our time requires the constant advance of those principles that our common creed describes: tolerance and opportunity; human dignity and justice.

We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths – that all of us are created equal – is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall; just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk alone; to hear a King proclaim that our individual freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on Earth.

It is now our generation’s task to carry on what those pioneers began. For our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers, and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts. Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law – for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well. Our journey is not complete until no citizen is forced to wait for hours to exercise the right to vote. Our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity; until bright young students and engineers are enlisted in our workforce rather than expelled from our country. Our journey is not complete until all our children, from the streets of Detroit to the hills of Appalachia to the quiet lanes of Newtown, know that they are cared for, and cherished, and always safe from harm.

That is our generation’s task – to make these words, these rights, these values – of Life, and Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness – real for every American. Being true to our founding documents does not require us to agree on every contour of life; it does not mean we will all define liberty in exactly the same way, or follow the same precise path to happiness. Progress does not compel us to settle centuries-long debates about the role of government for all time – but it does require us to act in our time.

For now decisions are upon us, and we cannot afford delay. We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate. We must act, knowing that our work will be imperfect. We must act, knowing that today’s victories will be only partial, and that it will be up to those who stand here in four years, and forty years, and four hundred years hence to advance the timeless spirit once conferred to us in a spare Philadelphia hall.

My fellow Americans, the oath I have sworn before you today, like the one recited by others who serve in this Capitol, was an oath to God and country, not party or faction – and we must faithfully execute that pledge during the duration of our service. But the words I spoke today are not so different from the oath that is taken each time a soldier signs up for duty, or an immigrant realizes her dream. My oath is not so different from the pledge we all make to the flag that waves above and that fills our hearts with pride.

They are the words of citizens, and they represent our greatest hope. You and I, as citizens, have the power to set this country’s course.

You and I, as citizens, have the obligation to shape the debates of our time – not only with the votes we cast, but with the voices we lift in defense of our most ancient values and enduring ideals.

Let each of us now embrace, with solemn duty and awesome joy, what is our lasting birthright. With common effort and common purpose, with passion and dedication, let us answer the call of history, and carry into an uncertain future that precious light of freedom.

Thank you, God Bless you, and may He forever bless these United States of America.

general introduction

i am a third year master major in automation at shanghai jiao tong

university, p. r. china. with tremendous interest in industrial engineering, i

am writing to apply for acceptance into your ph.d. graduate program.

education background

in 1995, i entered the nanjing university of science & technology

(nust) -- widely considered one of the china’s best engineering schools. during

the following undergraduate study, my academic records kept distinguished among

the whole department. i was granted first class prize every semester,in 1999, i

got the privilege to enter the graduate program waived of the admission

test.

at the period of my graduate study, my overall gpa(3.77/4.0) ranked top 5%

in the department. in the second semester, i became teacher assistant that is

given to talented and matured students only. this year, i won the acer

scholarship as the one and only candidate in my department, which is the

ultimate accolade for distinguished students endowed by my university.

presently, i am preparing my graduation thesis and trying for the honor of

excellent graduation thesis.

research experience and academic activity

when a sophomore, i joined the association of ai enthusiast and began to

narrow down my interest for my future research. with the tool of opengl and

matlab, i designed a simulation program for transportation scheduling system. it

is now widely used by different research groups in nust. i assumed and fulfilled

a sewage analysis & dispose project for nanjing sewage treatment plant. this

was my first practice to convert a laboratory idea to a commercial product.

in retrospect, i find myself standing on a solid basis in both theory and

experience, which has prepared me for the ph.d. program. my future research

interests include: network scheduling problem, heuristic algorithm research

(especially in ga and neural network), supply chain network research, hybrid

system performance analysis with petri nets and data mining.

1、good morning/afternoon/evening, my name is . it is really a great honor

to have this opportunity/chance to introduce myself. i would like to answer

whatever you may raise, and i hope i can make a good performance today.

小时候，总听妈妈给我讲屈原因为楚平王而投汨罗江，从此便有了端午节，我也似懂非懂地知道了：原来端午节是由屈原而产生的。

When I was a child, my mother told me to listen to Qu Yuan because Chuping

Wang and the Miluo River, then have the Dragon Boat Festival, I also vaguely

know that the Dragon Boat Festival was produced by Qu Yuan.

相传屈原是一个爱国诗人，投江后，汨罗江畔的百姓们纷纷去打捞屈原的尸体，因此有了赛龙舟的习俗;百姓们把饭团等投入江中，因此有了吃棕子的习俗，百姓们把兄雄黄酒倒入江中，因此有了喝雄黄酒的习俗。

Legend has it that Qu Yuan is a patriotic poet, Jiang River, Miluo people

have to recover Qu Yuan's body, so there is the custom of the dragon boat race;

people have the balls and into the river, so there is the custom of eating

zongzi, people are the brother of wine poured into the river, so have a drink

realgar wine the custom.

记得前不久，我还了南湖边，看龙舟竞渡，那儿人山人海，一派热闹的景象，南湖边上围满了人，不用说他们就是来看龙舟竞赛的，只见不远处湖面上，停泊着大大小小的的龙舟，龙舟选手们严阵以待，不过一会儿就上了各自的龙舟，他们一个个精神抖擞，似乎真的是要打捞屈原。一眨眼的工夫，他们就开始了，随着“嘿咻嘿咻”的口号声。他们有节奏地划起龙舟，这使我不禁想象起了当时百姓们纷纷去打捞屈原时的情景……

I remember not long ago, I also see the South Lake, dragon boat races,

there are huge crowds of people, a lively scene, South Lake surrounded with

people, they see the dragon boat race is needless to say, not far from the lake

park, large and small dragon boat, Dragon Boat athletes embattled, but soon on

the boat, they all seem to be in fine fig, really want to salvage Qu Yuan. In a

blink of an eye, they began, with the slogan "sex.". They have a rhythm to draw

from the dragon boat, which I imagine the people at that time have to retrieve

his time......

you all are leaving your alma mater now. i have no gift to present you all except a piece of advice.

what i would like to advise is that "don’t give up your study." most of the courses you have taken are partly for your certificate. you had no choice but to take them. from now on, you may study on your own. i would advise you to work hard at some special field when you are still young and vigorous. your youth will be gone that will never come back to you again. when you are old, and when your energy are getting poorer, you will not be able to as you wish to. even though you have to study in order to make a living, studies will never live up to you. making a living without studying, you will be shifted out in three or five years. at this time when you hope to make it up, you will say it is too late. perhaps you will say, "after graduation and going into the society, we will meet with an urgent problem, that is, to make a living. for this we have no time to study. even though we hope to study, we have no library nor labs, how can we study further?"

i would like to say that all those who wait to have a library will not study further even though they have one and all these who wait to have a lab will not do experiments even though they have one. when you have a firm resolution and determination to solve a problem, you will naturally economize on food and clothing.

as for time, i should say it’s not a problem. you may know that every day he could do only an hour work, not much more than that because darwin was ill for all his life. you must have read his achievements. every day you spend an hour in reading 10 useful pages, then you will read more than 3650 pages every year. in 30 years you will have read 110,000 pages.

my fellow students, reading 110,000 pages will make you a scholar. but it will take you an hour to read three kinds of small-sized newspapers and it will take you an hour and a half to play four rounds of mahjian pieces. reading small-sized newspapers or playing mahjian pieces, or working hard to be a scholar? it’s up to you all.

henrik ibsen said, "it is your greatest duty to make yourself out."

studying is then as tool as casting. giving up studying will destroy yourself.

i have to say goodbye to you all. your alma mater will open her eyes to see what you will be in 10 years. goodbye!

As everyone knows,English is very important today.It has been used everywhere in the world.It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade. If we can speak English well,we will have more chance to succeed.Because more and more people have taken notice of it,the number of the people who go to learn English has increased at a high speed.

But for myself,I learn English not only because of its importance and its usefulness,but also because of my love for it.When I learn English, I can feel a different way of thinking which gives me more room to touch the world.When I read English novels,I can feel the pleasure from the book which is different from reading the translation.When I speak English, I can feel the confident from my words.When I write English,I can see the beauty which is not the same as our Chinese...

I love English,it gives me a colorful dream.I hope I can travel around the world one day. With my good English, I can make friends with many people from different contries.I can see many places of GREat interests.I dream that I can go to London,because it is the birth place of English.

I also want to use my good English to introduce our GREat places to the English spoken people,I hope that they can love our country like us.

I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well.

If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So I believe as I love English everyday , it will love me too.

I am sure that I will realize my dream one day!

Thank you!

校长、各位老师、各位同学大家平安：

今天是全世界都在热烈庆祝的大日子!因为20__年前，在遥远的国都以色列伯利恒的地方，弥赛亚(也就是救世主)降生了!然而我们却发现，所谓的普天同庆，如今却已慢慢沦为嘉年华会式的狂欢，甚至因狂欢过度，每年都有许多人丧命!这已远远背离耶稣降生的意义。因此，在这儿我要和大家一起分享耶稣降生的故事，以及其中所蕴含的意义。

当年，以色列尚在罗马政权统治之下。罗马人为了统计百姓的人数，于是下令所有的人都要回本籍地报名上册(就像现在的户口普查)。于是耶稣的父亲-约瑟，就带著因圣灵感孕而身怀六甲的妻子——马利亚，由定居地-加利利的拿撒勒赶回本籍地-犹大的伯利恒。由于回来报名上册的人太多了，每家旅馆都客满，而马利亚临盆在即。在约瑟的苦苦央求下，一位好心的旅馆老板让他们借住在马房，于是，当晚耶稣就降生在马槽中。

当耶稣降生的那一刻，在伯利恒野地裡看守羊群的牧羊人，忽然见到上帝派来的使者站在他们旁边，告诉他们救世主已经降生的好消息。同时出现了一大队的天兵，和那位天使高声的讚美上帝说：「在至高之处荣耀归与上帝，在地上平安归与他所喜悦的人」。这是第一支报佳音的队伍，也就是后来每年的圣诞节。

从耶稣的降生，我们可以得到两个启示：

1、学习他谦卑的态度。

根据圣经的记载，耶稣是救世主，应当是无上光荣的，但他却选择降生在马槽这麽卑微的地方，正显现出他的谦卑。他曾说：「我来是要服事人，而不是要被人服事」;又说：「我心柔和谦卑，你们当负我的轭」;他更曾为门徒一一洗脚。这些在在显明他的谦卑。我们行事为人，是否也该学习他这谦卑的样式?

2、追求心灵上真正的平安。

人生在世，难免会遭遇困厄灾祸。于是，很多人就用各种方式祈求灾祸不要临到他的身上，也因此产生了各种忌讳：这个不能做，那个不能吃;早上出门要朝东走，晚上回家时要先朝南走……只要有一点闪失，就整天害怕担心，这是真正的平安吗?我认为真正的平安是，即使遇到了灾祸，心裡也不会惊慌失措。因为你知道有一位比你更有能力的人，他可以为你分愁解忧，他可以为你承担一切的重担，如同婴儿安睡在父母的怀抱中，无惧外面的狂风暴雨。这是多麽令人喜乐的事啊!

如今，我已找到了心灵上真正的平安，不知你们找到了没?

我的分享就到此结束，耶稣爱你，愿他赐你平安!
