I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its belief: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood; I have a dream .....

That one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state suffering from the heat of unfairness, suffering from the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice; I have a dream

That my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character; I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its evii racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and invalidity, one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers;

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be gone,every hill and mountain shall be made Iow, and rough places will be made plane and crooked places will be made straight,and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

A long time ago, there was a hugeappletree. A little boy loved to come and lay around it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow... He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.

Time went by... the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I am no longer a kid, I don’t play around trees anymore.” The boy replied, “I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, but I don’t have money...but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.

One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. “Come and play with me,” the tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?” “Sorry, but I don’t have a house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.

One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. “Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time. The tree was happy, but it was not true.

Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you...” the tree said.

“I don’t have teeth to bite,” the boy replied.

“No more trunk for you to climb on.”

“I am too old for that now,” the boy said.

“I really can’t give you anything... the only thing left is my dying roots,” the tree said with tears.

“I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied.

“Good! Old tree roots is the best place to lean on and rest. Come, Come sit down with me and rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears...

When I was in middle school, I moved to the city to live with my parents, I

miss my hometown all the time, I can’t forget about the beautiful mountain and

the clear water. So in this summer vacation, I went back to my hometown, when I

saw the familiar country road, I was so happy, I knew I was close to the nature.

I took in the fresh air, I smelt the straw’s flavor, I took a look at the

mountains and the clear water again. All of these made me relaxed, the nature

was right in front of me. I hope the scenery won’t change all the time, once I

have time, I will come back to enjoy it.

One of the most popular sentences online states that

“remember...always act like you ‘re wearing an invisible crown.”What the saying

indicates is the importance of confidence,an attitude that we should take toward

our life.

It’s generally accepted that confidence plays a very vital role in one’s

life. But do you really know what dose self-confidence mean? Well, it means that

you have strong belief that you can do things and you will succeed in the end.

If you want to do something well, you must have faith in yourself. Just like the

old saying goes, confidence in yourself is the first step on the road to

success. Otherwise, you may hardly to do anything right. Some people love to

complain how incapable they are or how difficult their tasks are, they never

think about the problem in themselves, which is lack of confidence. If they

fail, they will refuse to have another try. Then they will never ever have the

chance to overcome difficulties.

May be destined to a person's character, it is not easy to change. But if

everyone into confident on their own elements, their life will become more

colorful, more open. You may ask why you are confident? I think: confidence +

opportunity = success. So self-confidence is indispensable bzuowenry conditions.

Everyone thinks oneself from birth, fate dominate everything, all want to follow

the path of destiny. If you have such idea, may be you are wrong. Destiny is

master in your hand, opportunity is in your side. The you find place, it did not

work. Don't let the chance to run out in front of you, the first to catch the

opportunities, of course. However, get the opportunities, of course, is a good

thing. But people have the opportunity to don't you will achieve success. Some

people often suffer from failure tripping, overwhelm be heavy setbacks, let

these people thought he was a mediocre person, chance on them. Success will

become very slim. So have the opportunity is important, the most important thing

is that you have confidence. Even if you get upset about my setbacks, as long as

you have a good mood, have full confidence in myself. Believe that failure and

frustration on you again, can also be solved. So self-confidence is very

important for a person, even if you don't have too much talent, have the

confidence you have into a big step away from success than others. Albert

Einstein said, confidence is to take the first step to success. So people should

have confidence, also need confidence in life.

In a word, as a saying says,” Make the most of yourself, for that is all

there is of you. "Confidence for us is an indispensable part of our life.

Once man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. There were few people on the earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.

Today things are different. The world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources,and polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, human life on earth will not survive.

We realize that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet,with modern fishing methods, more and more fish are caught.We know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear. Yet, we continue to use powerful machines to cut down more and more trees. We see that if rivers are polluted with waste products, we will die. Yet, waste products are more and more

i think avoiding to do many things is not the way to protect the envirnment,the point is not the thing we can't do,but is the thing we shuld do,we are human beings, and we are different form the other animals,we should relay on our telegent and brave.

here i think there are two effecient ways to protect the enviroment, and first one if the development of the technology, the knowlodge is power, it always makes us to get twice acheivement with half effort,for example, an typical pollution plastic package, many places forbid to use the plastic pakage,in fact the plastic package is very good,it has many advantage, low cost ,durable,convenient. the issue is we can't break down it, with the development of technology, one day it will be wildly used, but now what we can do is to use other things to instead it. we usually call for to save the resorces, but in my opinion the resorce is just like the money, if you want more money, you have to earn, but not to save. so the best way is to use the present resorce to discover the new and powrful resorce,we call it sustanibol development.

the other aspect of the protection is advocating everyone to join the group, to make every one realize the importance of protecting the enviroment, the more people ,the more power,thus, you can image if everyone has the habit to improve our enviroment,who make the pollution, if you want the enviroment better,now make you contribution and make your choice!

about my country

I'm worried about my country.

There is polution everywhere.

It's time to do something about it.

We need fresh air to breathe.

We need pure water to drink.

We need a clean environment to be healthy.

People have to stop littering.

We have to respect our surroundings.

We must become friends of the earth.

First,everyone must get involved.

Everyone must lend a hand.

Together we can clean up our neiborhoods.

Second,we can practice conservation.

We can reduce waste and reuse things.

We can recycle paper,bottles,and plastic.

Third,we can put up more "Don't litter" signs.

We can trashcans on every corner.

We can pick up garbage when we see it.

We must take action to fight pollution.

It's our future we're protecting.

It's our duty to keep our planet clean.

So,please don't pollute.

Don't be a litterbug.

Don't be afraid to remind others,too.

Let's protect nature's beauty.

Let's make our future bright.

Let's start to clean up now.

Where There is Life, There is Music

What is music, no one can explain.

Just imagine for a moment that you are sitting in a magnificent concert hall. The conductor waves his shiny baton with a graceful swing through the air. A beautiful melody floats slowly around you

You sit quietly with your eyes shut, your heart open. The delicate vibratos of the violins carry you to a mood of heavenly bliss. An airy solo of the flute draws you to the imagination, the notes flow like some jumping swallows dancing and singing calling for the coming of Spring.

I like music from my childhood. My father often says when I was a baby I would never go to sleep without soft, beautiful lullabies crooning around my ears . Now music is a part of my life. When I feel tired, disappointed or in low spirits, I usually turn to music. Music, nothing but only music can have so wonderful an effect on my heart, on my pond of feeling.

有关音乐的初中英语演讲稿

Music comes with us. Where there is life, there is music. Where there is music, there is hope. It lies in everyday life, in everyone's life, in everything we see, in everything we hear-- in the rhythm of the sea, in the whisper of a gentle wind, in the melody of a bird's singing, in the harmony of village chimes. You can hear music wherever you may go . A man who doesn't know music will lose half the world. A nation that pays little or no attention to music will be a sad nation. A world without music would be the one for the dead and devils.

So dear friends, let's open our arms to embrace music and enjoy it throughout our lives. Love music and love life.

Thank you.

哪里有生活，哪里就有音乐

音乐是什么，无人能解释清楚。

想象此刻你正坐在富丽堂皇的音乐大厅里，乐队指挥手中的闪闪发亮的指挥棒在空中优雅的舞动。悠扬悦耳的音调飘扬在你的周围。

静静地闭上双眼，敞开心扉。小提琴精妙的振颤会把你带入到天堂祈福的心境;大提琴微弱低沉的叹息会使你想起一位老人在风中散步，沉浸在童年时代宁静和挚爱的回忆中;长笛轻快的独奏使你从想象中猛醒;流畅的音符像一群飞舞歌唱的燕子在呼唤春天的来临。

从童年时代音乐就是我的挚爱。父亲经常说，我在襁褓中，没有温柔甜美的摇篮曲在耳边低吟，就难以入眠。现在音乐是我生活的一部分。每当我感到疲倦，失望或情绪不振时，我就求助于音乐。音乐，除了音乐，没有什么对我的身心和情感有如此奇妙的影响。

音乐与我们同在，哪里有生活，哪里就有音乐;哪里有音乐，哪里就有希望。它存在于每个人的日常生活，存在于我们耳闻目睹的一切事物之中;存在于海的波涛，清风细语，悦耳鸟鸣，和谐的乡村钟声之中;无论你身在何处，都会听到音乐。一个不了解音乐的人将失去半个世界。一个不重视音乐的民族将是一个悲哀的民族。一个没有音乐的世界将是逝者和恶人生存的世界。

亲爱的朋友，让我们伸开双臂去拥抱音乐，在人生中享受音乐的乐趣。热爱音乐，热爱生活。

谢谢大家。

Teachers' Day comes on September 10th every year. On the day we usually give our teachers cards to show our thanks. I thank them for helping me when I am in trouble, and I thank them for teaching me how to be a real man.

Of course they are very friendly to everyone. They always get on very well with their students. They are not only our teachers but also our friends. They love us very much and we love them,too.

Schoolmates:

When you look the lovable animated cartoon, plays is in a stew human's computer games, rides the fast train, is answering transoceanic telephone time, ......Not only your might once realize the science the strength, the science changed this world, also changed our life, the science side us.

Opens for the 20th century the grand chapters, not only we discovered the humanity to experience the blood and the fire baptism in these hundred years, has created the innumerable scientific miracles. 19th century France famous science fiction writer of fiction verne fictionalizing, at that time let the human be inconceivable, he fantasized moon landing travel, the airplane, the long-range gun and so on, all 11 became the reality in the 20th century. In the 21st century today, the high tech is ubiquitous.

As cross-century one generation, how posture should we adapt the new century by, the load get up the new century heavy burden? Not only science and technology changing with each new day, causes the science to serve for the most advanced technique, also more and more many seeps to during ours daily life, this needs us who is in the young people time to deeply love the science, the study science. Participation science and technology “five small” competition, reading science and technology books, caused me to understand many truths. The precise robot, does not use the fuel the automobile, the hypothesized soccer game, high tech information transmission and so on, each one vivid interesting phenomena, aroused me to explore the science the desire.

Our each people all want to study the science, the dissemination civilization, while enjoys the new life, must create the new life, now, the technical product renewal speeds up unceasingly, the visible television, the computer surfer, the pacemaker, already did not calculate was fresh. Vacuum cleaner invented which from 1901, to the artificial earth satellite, carried the human spaceship, the science and technology demonstrates the formidable strength in the different domain. Electronic industry, communication technology daily popularization, nanotechnology, superconductivity material widespread application, soon one day, perhaps in yours dinner table, can appear likely bio-engineering foods and so on outer space green pepper, man-made beefsteak. Studies the science and technology, is not merely in order to become the scientist, also is for can adapt the life, more has been able to become the new century the master, the load gets up the new century, is the national construction, makes the contribution for the human culture.

Since new China had been established, our country's technical development progresses by leaps and bounds, the synthesized insulin, finishes a job plants, the hybrid rice again, explodes atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb, launch satellite and airship and so on, these technical achievement which focuses attention on the common people, reduced our country and the advanced countries science and technology disparity greatly, has poured into the vigor for our country's modernization. Grandpa Deng Xiaoping said “the science and technology is the first productive forces”, indeed so, the science has inserted the wing for our motherland soaring. Chairman Mao Zedong once said to the youth that, the world was you, also is we, but is your in the final analysis. This speech, has been full of the elders to our earnest expectation. If the elders have constructed the 20th century motherlands with the industrious work, that, we should by the knowledge, get up the new century heavy burden by the scientific load.

Schoolmates, we are being at the growth developmental stage, the study science, lets us start since childhood. We must learn each kind of literacy class diligently, because this is all study foundation; At the same time, to each kind the popular science books, the publication which suits our elementary student to look, should better read some in the after school; Also should begin to do each science small experiment, the small manufacture positively, writes the science small paper and so on, raises to the science interest. Long this gets down, we can certainly deeply love the science, has the rich scientific knowledge. Humanity's wisdom is infinite, regardless of is US's Challenger number detonation, the whole world computer virus' promotion, always all cannot prevent humanity's advance in technology. “The knowledge is the strength”, Bacon this sentence enjoys great popularity the maxim did not know had driven how many earnestly seeks the knowledge human. Now, lets us also use it to encourage oneself, makes one to deeply love the science the new generation, the load gets up the new century heavy responsibility, for our motherland tomorrow, will compose a more magnificent poem!

Thanks everybody.

I joined the "Duixingcou" pursuing stars to catch up with crazy, at all costs, to collect the pop star cartoons. One day, their mother in a room festooned with the star of the popular songs photographs. Curious, I asked my mother : "You are not like popular music stars? "Mom said :" As long as you like, I like. "I heard that and pleased to mothers treated as the neck, a three-under. From that point, my mother agreed that I kept buying and popular songs collected star photos, singing their singing star opening and refuses to star ... As time passes, Jianglesuoshenma teacher in the class, I have not heard for the heads of all stars. By the end of the test period, the parents will have to face is finished, the walls of the home star photos and closet tape was lost. I was wondering abuse, and her mother laughs out from the kitchen and said : "also pursuing stars? "I do not know if my mother happened sell what medicine was so scared. Retrieve them in busy mother a prepared set of "Celebrity Series", said to me : "a good look These books will inspire you! "I eagerly read up. From this book, I understand be of Bao Zheng, Wen Tianxiang integrity of the nation and defending the country's Zheng Chenggong, hard with the Sima Guang, talented Chopin, literary masterpieces of Tolstoy ... I feel deeply, I recover those popular songs than these celebrity star is too insignificant to the. Now, I began to recover, "Star", but they no longer is the singer, but a great historical celebrities.

Unforgetable Experience

Once I changed my attitude toward everything, I recognized my world, my future and myself. It happened when my friends and I had almost finished our last academic year and were invited by our lovely and friend like teachers to an amazing trip, to Issyk-Kul, the pearl of Kyrgyz land. About five of my best friends and I were going to the breathtaking places of our motherland where we decided to have an unforgettable days of our life.

http://www.oh100.com/a/201210/182737.html?f=177871It was usual shiny day when we were about to leave our lyceum and get to the long road that was passing through the high and mighty mountains of “Kyrgyz jeri”. And when we were on the way to Tam chi, a fertile garden village of wooden chocolate-box cottages and shady, poplar-lined avenues, my teacher said with his funny voice, ?Listen everybody! Now we are on the way to Issyk-Kul, and I want you not to sleep on first mission of our summer vacation because you could not realize the beauty of nature and compose an essay on your final exam. And some of us really didn’t sleep after his funny advice, trying to get a real pleasure from staring at the grand mountains. But during the way the others of us were just listening the music, joking to each other and flying in their dreams. Finally, we reached the place where everyone changed their face and had a big smile, which showed that all of us were really pleased of seeing our magic lake. After some times later, we got into our nest! and then had first unforgettable dinner near the lake and under the thousands of blazing stars, which reminded us that we were in paradise. And it was indeed amazing? On the next day, after having a wonderful breakfast, we went to the beach for swimming and having a sunbath. When I saw the warm and silk like soft water that was attracting all of us, I rushed to it and noticed that not only I was running like a wild animal, but all my friends did the same as well. The water is excellent, said one of us. Yeah, it is, replied another one. But after a little time, there were again coming lots of voices like, WOW, Cool, and many other sounds that showed our both surprise and gladness. We were happy and at the same time tired. So we went back to have lunch and then to get asleep. Everyone was sleeping when one of my friends and I were playing cards and discussing about our aims in life and about friendship. I thought that having the best friends makes me feel self-assured in my decisions and be full for a real life by recognizing its wellnein community and nature. I thought that only with them I could get a hand and find the way in ! my own life path by discovering my abilities and finding out my great wishes in life. But after some minutes my friend and I were sleeping and continuing discussing, and this time in our dreams.

In evening, we were usually watching comedy films and films about the battles. But on another day we decided to have a party, so we went to a local disco named as Discovery. And the life would be more interesting that night if I didn’t quarrel with my best friend. We started arguing only for our own interests; he insisted on drinking some alcohol and dance, I insisted on not doing that because it would bring big problems and moreover it would be shame on ourselves. Unfortunately, all my friends were against me, because they thought that we could afford drinking alcohol considering that we were about to finish our school. That night I lost all my best friends just in a moment. All my thoughts about friendship were ruined; my heart burst into small pieces that will never be joined any more. And from that moment I started to build everything in my life from zero. I became more serious with my attitude toward people and became more careful myself as well.

Dear friends! Do you still remember your first English teacher? You may say:“ Yes.” Everyone has his teachers, in my mind, I'll never forget her ------my first English teacher Ms. Li. Without her, I wouldn't be standing here. She is a young and lovely lady with beautiful eyes. Her voice sounds sweet and she speaks English very well. That was the first impression she left on us when she first gave us an English lesson.

In her class, she taught us carefully and patiently. She always made opportunities for us to speak English. She gave us many beautiful pictures to talk on them, played games with us and told us many interesting stories. Little by little, I had interest in English, but English was a new subject to me, I had many difficulties in learning it well. I often felt very confused. It was Ms. Li who helped me to find ways to overcome my difficulties. She helped me to practice speaking English everyday. She always encouraged me whenever I lost heart. She helped me to have confidence in myself. She gave me what I needed, courage, confidence, good ways to learn English and opportunities to speak English in class. So I was grateful for her. Maybe I can't meet her again. The only thing I can give her is my best wishes. I wish my dear teacher happiness, good health and good luck. And I also want to say to her: Thank you, Ms. Li. I love you!

Hi everyone. My topic today is Maths in my Eyes.

When I mention the word “maths” some adjectives will come to mind, boring, difficult and complicated. But I think maths is very interesting. It is used almost everywhere in our life and also related to art and music.

We all know one geometrical concept, the golden section. It's very important in painting, sculpture and architecture, such as the Parthenon in Athens and the Venus de Milo. In nature a little pentagonal flower has its golden section. It looks beautiful.

What about its connection with music? Lets take a look at a straight and tight string. Pluck it, and then halve its length, then pluck it again. The sound we hear is the same note but a higher frequency. The Greek mathematician Pythagoras discovered this law and it developed into the musical scale we know today.

Another example is from the famous composer, Bach. When we listen to his music in “Well-Tempered Clavier”， we find the notes are always getting higher .But amazingly, in the end, it comes back to the initial height. Why is it? That's why Bach was great! It's a very interesting maths problem. We call it a paradox.

These days we learn maths at school. The only purpose is to get a high mark. But I personally think that those with curious and creative minds will open the door to the world of maths. Just as Galileo said, “Mathematics is the alphabet with which God has written the universe”。 Maths, in my eyes, is a fascinating subject that needs our passion and imagination. In the end I hope you love this boundless treasure and enjoy the magical world of maths!

Thank you.

First, I would like to know, what does your destiny offer you? Happiness,

wisdom, a strong body or something else. If I had asked this question to

president Nixon, he would probably had said,”Our destiny offers not the cup of

despair, but the chalice of opportunity.”

Needless to say, one of the biggest opportunities given to China is the 20_

Olympic Games. Till now, we have used two sevenths of the preparation time. How

much changes have you seen? New roads, new subway lines, public-exercising

equipments with beautiful colors, large blocks of grass fields, and also lots of

modern gyms which are under construction.

Other than those, there are even more good effects brought to us by the

Olympic Games that cannot be seen directly. For example, more and more people

will get to know China. I’m sure the mysterious Chinese culture will attract

them strongly. And the games will also do good to the economy and environment,

for it is gaining the attention of foreign investors and the awareness of

environmental protection is being strengthened. What is more, Olympic Games give

a unique opportunity to inspire and educate a new generation of Chinese youth

with the Olympic values and the Olympic spirit. Now that we have seen so many

advances, could you even imagine us losing the holding rights?

I’ve already said a lot about the Olympics and China. But I think everyone

should use some time to think of this question, ”Does the Olympic Games have any

special meaning to you?”

For us, I mean the Chinese youth, 20_ Olympic Games is a tremendous gift.

Because what we are waiting for is to do something significant as repaying the

love given to us .The society is just like a ship, and in our dreams the captain

is waving his hand and saying ”Hey! Come here and take the helm! ”How charming

his voice is, but we have never heard of it in our true life. This morning,

however, when we wake up, we will see the Olympic Games waving its hand. After

chewing, most of us will have at least one plan about what to do for the Olympic

Games. And mine is to be a “comforter” ----that is someone who will give comfort

to others.

At the end of my speech, I hope all the preparation will go well, and

everyone will show their ability to the world. Let us seize opportunities and

give a big smile to challenges.

My name is Tiffany, a Year 2 student from the University of Macau. I am currently an active member of the university Public Speaking Team, president of the Honours College Student Association, and also the vice president of the event department in Marketing Society. I am very active and outgoing. I enjoy being with people, engaged in conversations with them so that I can understand them more. I like public speaking as it can help increase my self-esteem and self-confidence. Aside from public speaking, I am also good at English recitation. I have joined the Macao-wide English Individual Recitation for a number of times when I was studying in the secondary school.

Imagine a car without a steering wheel. Tough to imagine, right? Well, actually that’s the image you see if a person has no faith. Faith helps to guide us in our lives, encourage us to persist, and give directions when we are lost.

In this peaceful era, our life paths seem to be already well-planned and determined. What we have to do is to follow. Yes, we may face different sorts of challenges, but at least they are less harsh when compared to those in the past. We do not need to worry about starving to death, or how to earn enough money to buy food for our siblings and sustain our lives.

It is like driving from a muddy road into a highway. In the muddy road, path, you would say, as it is formed only by crossing on it many times, flattening the ground to form a smoother area so we can pass. The road is so bumpy and rough, with holes here and there and rocks lying all over. When we drive along this road, we have to be very careful, having a firm grip on the steering wheel, ready for a sudden turn or a large boulder that may appear any second. However, when we drive on a highway, everything becomes different. The road is smooth, straight, and visible. Since there is no unseen obstacle, we may lower our guard, relax a bit, and loosen our grip on the steering wheel. One may even think, if we only have to drive on a smooth straight road like this highway, why would we need a steering wheel?

At such times, if you did not have the steering wheel, how could you make a sudden turn? Just as no one could foresee the Sichuan Earthquake nor the Japan Tsunami. If the one being trapped under the debris did not have faith, he/she would not have survived until being rescued. If we did not have faith, we could not recover from our sadness and rebuild our home.

Faith is unique, just as happiness is. We feel happy for different reasons, we believe for different things. How can we know what we believe in? Recall the last time you are discouraged, and you felt you had lost all hopes in your life. What pulled you back into the world? What pushed you to stand up and continue to strive again? That is your faith, your belief. Faith is what makes you feel you can when others say you can’t.

本文来源于百分网(http://www.oh100.com/)，转载请保留此标记，谢谢!Faith is important…, faith is vital…, faith is necessary for us to live our lives. If we do not have faith, we are like a car without a steeling wheel. We can only afford to move along a straight and smooth path, and cannot meet any challenge in our lives. One must understand that no matter how smooth the road is, it is impossible for a car to go without a steering wheel. Or, put it in another way, have you ever seen a car without a steering wheel on the road? So, act now, my friends, find out what you believe in, find out your anchor in your life, hold on to your steeling wheel

of your car, drive on, and reach your destination.

Thank you very much.

One night a hotel caught fire， and the people who were staying in it ran out in their night clothes.

Two men stood outside and looked at the fire.

“Before I came out，” said one，“I ran into some of the rooms and found a lot of money. Peopledon't think of money when they're afraid. When anyone leaves paper money in a fire， the fire burns it. So I took all the bills that I could find.No one will be poorer because I took them.”

“You don'tKnowmyWork，” said the other.

“What is your work?”

“I'm a policeman.

“Oh!” cried the first man. He thought quickly and said，“And do you know my work?”“No，”said the policeman.

“I'm a writer. I'm always telling stories about things that never happened.”

hello, ladies and gentlemen. i’m angela zhang from class 4 grade 8. today, my topic is, “the shanghai world expo”.

first, i’ll say something about world expo history. as we know, the very first world expo, the great exhibition of 1851, took place in the crystal palace in london. uk. ever since then, the goals of world expos have been both high-minded as well as commercial. visitors are able to explore the world outside of their everyday experience—outside cultures, new scientific advancements, and new inventions. world expos have excited and inspired more and more people in the world.

on december3, XX, the bureau of international expositions (or call it bie) announced that shanghai will host expo2010. the bie had received bids from five cities to host expo2010. among the 5 nice cities, the bie chose shanghai at last! it’s really an exciting news for not only shanghainese, but also all of chinese people. here are some details about it.

look at this profile carefully. the title is “the 2010 world exposition ,shanghai, china ”. this is the logo.

and the theme is “better city., better life”.ok, let’s guess who is the image representative? yeah, you’re right, yao ming!

shanghai expo is the first comprehensive world expo held in a developing country. and it is also the first one that takes “the city” as its theme, hoping that it can push forward the city development and help bring about a better urban living environment, just

t like the theme: better city, better life.

i think, as a student in shanghai, we should learn to be a gentle person and keep good manners from now on. and try to practice english more in order to communicate with foreigners fluently in the near future. because, we’re a part of shanghai!

BUYING A HAT

A lady went to a hat shop to buy a hat. As she was very fussy, it took her a long time to pick on one. Already at the end of his patience the salesman was afraid that she might change her mind again so he tried to flatter her: "

An excellent choice, madam. You look at least ten years younger with this hat on!" To his dismay, the lady took off her hat at once and said: "I don't want a hat that makes me look ten years older as soon as I take it off. Show me some more hats!"

Ladies and Gentlemen , Good afternoon! I’m very glad to stand here and give

you a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. I hope you will like it .

I want to be a teacher when I listen to my teacher carefully. I think I can

be a teacher when I grow up. I can help many students learn things well. I can

play with my students, too. So we are good friends. I want to be a doctor when I

see many doctors save their patients. To be a doctor is really great. I think I

can be a doctor when I grow up. Then I can help many people out of danger. I

will be the happiest girl in the world. I want to be a reporter when I watch TV

every evening. We can get lots of important information from them. They make the

world smaller and also make us happy. I would like to be a reporter when I grow

up. And I can learn a lot about China and the other countries around the world.

I can meet many superstars as well. I have lots of dreams. I think my dreams can

come true one day, because there’s an old saying “where there is a will, there

is a way.”

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind;

it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.

This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20.

Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years may 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 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what's next and the joy of the game of living.

In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.

When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you've grown old, even at 20;

but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there's hope you may die young at 80.

青春不是年华，而是心境;

青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志、宏伟的想象、炽热的感情;青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进去压倒苟安，如此锐气，

二十后生有之，六旬男子则更多见。

年年有加，并非垂老;理想丢弃，方堕暮年。

岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却，颓唐必至灵魂。

烦忧、惶恐、丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。

无论年届花甲，抑或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。

人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。

一旦天线倒塌，锐气被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，几十年方二十，实已垂老矣;

然则只要竖起天线，捕捉乐观的信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉得年轻。
