尊敬的老师、亲爱的同学们：

大家好!

我是刘禹锡，我想为班集体出一份力，所以，我想竞选英语课代表。我十分热爱英语这门科目，考试的成绩也都还不错。我每天都认真完成作业，丝毫不敢马虎。老师也经常叫我去参加跟英语有关的各种比赛。

我认为做一个合格的课代表必须要做到以下几点：

一、每天不仅自己要按时交作业，也要保证同学们也要按时交作业。

二、认真等级好没交作业的名单，之后叫他补齐。

如果我能如愿当上英语课代表，我一定会努力做好以上两点，并且每天坚持。

请同学们相信我，我有信心去任胜者份工作，我也有信心把他完成好哦，请同学们相信我，给我一次机会。

感谢大家!

敬爱的老师，亲爱的同学：

大家好!

我是五一班的李玉，今天我能站在这里，心里十分激动，因为我要继续竞选英语课代表。

要竞选英语课代表，毋庸置疑，就是要英语成绩优异，在班上起模范带头作用，工作认真，做好老师的小帮手。想必大家都知道，我在班上的“战绩”很好，可我对自己的要求很高，我担任过一年的课代表，经验比较丰富，我清楚的知道“榜样的力量是无穷的”。所以我认为我可以胜任这个职位。

如果我竞选上这个职位，我会帮助那些落后生，让他们进步，让大家在大海上扬帆起航!除了这些，我还要认真地完成老师分配的工作，让老师不再劳累。如果我没有竞选上，我也不会气馁，我会继续一步一个脚印，帮助老师、团结同学，争取下次努力。总之我会尽我所能，努力进取。

当然，金无足赤，人无完人。在工作中，我有许多不足之处，请大家帮我指出，我一定会虚心接受，加以改正。我不是的，但我一定是最努力的。希望大家投上你们的神圣的一票，我会用行动证明：你们的选择没有错!

我的演讲完了，谢谢大家!

The search for truth became its core animating idea and the American Universities flourished over time to institutionalize and idealize that way of life. Also, in 1919, at the more local level, on this campus, the new year-long required course for Columbia freshman has launched call contemporary civilization.

Though today, we know C.C. is the Genesis of the famed curriculum, then it was nothing more than a bold experiment in higher education. The objective reflected in the course name was to apply learning and reason derived from classic texts to the problems facing society in the aftermath of a cataclysmic war. The idea was to double down on the academic mission and it has made a difference as generation after generation has attested to its value in creating an open mind and intellect.

Both of these century-old intellectual innovations arose from the same sensibility. Both assumed that the best side of human nature includes the desire to learn and to live by the truth and to acquire and to create knowledge. And while our natural negative instincts activated by our fears, greed and lust for power sometimes divert us from that quest. A life worth living will only follow from a determined effort to engage with ideas at the most profound levels, even those ideas we dislike and firmly believe to be in error.

This time, your time presents the conundrum this is above all a moment when we must reassert our commitment to open inquiry, to reason and to the sanctity of knowledge and understanding. As was the case a century ago, these pursuits are increasingly out of step with the currents of the broader world, making it all the more essential that we express our devotion to that endeavor.

亲爱的同学们：

大家好!

很高兴能够再次站在这个讲台上，面对同学们熟悉的脸庞，参加班干部竞选活动。此时此刻，我的心里感到非常的激动，并且充满感慨。感到激动是因为我能有机会再次争取为大家服务;充满感慨是因为我已不再是那个初来乍到的小女孩，经过几年的风风雨雨，成功的喜乐、失败的教训，让我茁壮成长。相信，不管今天我从这里走下台后，竞选的结果会如何，我都会从心底感到高兴。

今天我竞选的是班长一职。我来参与竞选的目的只有一个：一切为同学服务。我自信在同学们的帮助下，我能胜任这项工作，正由于这种内驱力，当我走向这个讲台的时候，我感到信心百倍。

也许，在我说出这番“豪言壮语”后，有些人会暗自发笑：他怎么这么自负!可是我想说，这不是自负，这是自信!一个人如果连自己都不相信，那么他就没有资格做任何事，即使做了，也很难成功!我之所以能够站在这里，大部分是由于我的自信!当然，能力也很重要，因为一个人的信心和能力永远是成正比的。

在参加班级管理的过程中，尤其是参加竞选后，我明白了许多道理：做任何事都要有强烈的责任感，要认真履行自己的职责，才能无愧于心。在管理的同时，要严格要求自己，因为自己的一举一动都被同学们看在那里，如果连自己都管不好，如何去管别人?当然，管理时一定要有耐心，要顾及同学们的感受，不要去品尝“高处不胜寒”的滋味。否则，会给今后的工作带来许多困难。即使有困难，也应勇敢面对。

著名作家罗曼·罗兰说过一句话，只有先相信了自己，然后别人才会相信你。我想有足够的信心来相信自己。我有能力更有自信，能以新的方法带领我们的班级走向一个新的层次。世界上没有完美的人，我也不例外，但是我会尽量减少自己的缺点，同时也希望每个人都能提出我的不足，让我能正确认识自己，完善自己。

成为班长，是一种荣誉，更是一种责任。我知道这条路上有许多挑战，但我自信我有能力担起这副担子，因为我的热情，我的毅力，我实事求是的工作态度，能真正做好班长的工作。

我的演讲完毕，谢谢大家!

This means two things. First, whether you are happy or sad about leaving us behind, whether you will return for another round of being a student, or you are intent on rejoining us, at some point, in a professorial capacity and becoming a permanent member of this community, I can assure you that this is true, what you have just experienced with stay with you for the rest your lives and in all likelihood it will take on greater and greater meaning with the passage of time.

The second point is that I want to ask you this morning to take stock of what is now your deep and experiential knowledge about the nature and roles of universities like Columbia and with that knowledge to reflect on the state of modern society and the threats that we’re now facing to the deepest values that undergird these institutions, to reflect on what is at stake in our own country and for the people over the world. We need to raise our voices at the time, such as this.

The idea of the academy as something separate and discrete removed from daily life is as old as human civilization. The desire to step back from the fray, to grasp what is happening at this moment in history, to find a meaning to it all and to find out what is good life is forever with us. Who hasn’t at one point or another wanted to emulate Michel de Montaigne.

If only we could take up residence in a tower on a beautiful state and write essays connecting the wisdom of the ancients with contemporary human existence and in that self-reflective pose discover our true purpose and meaning. This is a secret dream we all harbor.

As always Shakespeare was familiar with this dream, and we used it to give us many notable characters whose pursuit of this ideal often ended in trouble.

Everybody good afternoon:.

First of all thank the teacher gave me a story in my own future ideal job.

Everyone has a dream job. My dream is to become a boss, own a company.

In order to achieve my dreams, I need to find a good job, to accumulate some experience and wealth, it is the necessary things

Of course, in the school good achievement and rich knowledge is also very important. Good achievement and rich experience can let me work to make the right choice, have more opportunities and achievements.

At the same time, communication is very important, because it determines whether my company has a good future development. So I need to exercise their communicative ability. I need to use all of the free time to learn all. Because I believe, there is nothing in the world can shake my determination.

You will be successful, as your own efforts. So seize the time, we have no time to waste.

Nothing in the world can change their patience ( confidence ).

各位同学下午好：

首先很感谢老师给了我一个讲述我自己未来理想工作的机会。

每个人心中都有一个自己理想的工作。我的梦想是将来成为一名老板，拥有一个属于自己的公司。

为了完成自己的梦想，我需要找到一个好的工作，用来积累一些经验和财富，这是必要的事情。

当然，在学校里好的成绩和丰富的知识也是非常重要的。好的成绩和丰富的经验能让我在工作中做出正确的选择，拥有更多的机会和成就。

同时，交际能力也是非常重要的，因为这决定着自己公司未来是否拥有一个好的发展。所以自己需要锻炼自己的交际能力。自己需要利用一切的空闲时间来学习一切。 因为我相信，世界上没有什么能动摇我的决心。

你的明天会成功的，正如你自己所努力的那样。

因此抓紧时间，我们不能在浪费时间了。

世界上没有什么能改变自己的耐心(信心)。

the more youre thinking back to those original goals, the easier it is for you to get back up and say, "Alright, it might be difficult, it might be painful, it might be stressful, there might be no people that believe in me, but I believe in myself."

You know it might have been the case that you should have gone through that harsh break up, that you should have gone through that heavy loss, just in order to find something even better.

But the only way to get to that even better, is to get back up and work. To get back up and put yourself out there again. And arise from that again, stronger, better, smarter, ready to grasp that new opportunity.

You gotta believe the tables in your life will turn. That pain will become power, that weakness will become strength, and that confusion will become peace. Better things are coming for your life.

Everyday is a new beginning. Its time for you to start treating it that way.

Amnesty mobilises thousands of people who have never been tortured or imprisoned for their beliefs to act on behalf of those who have. The power of human empathy, leading to collective action, saves lives, and frees prisoners. Ordinary people, whose personal well-being and security are assured, join together in huge numbers to save people they do not know, and will never meet. My small participation in that process was one of the most humbling and inspiring experiences of my life.

Unlike any other creature on this planet, humans can learn and understand, without having experienced. They can think themselves into other people’s places.

Of course, this is a power, like my brand of fictional magic, that is morally neutral. One might use such an ability to manipulate, or control, just as much as to understand or sympathise.

And many prefer not to exercise their imaginations at all. They choose to remain comfortably within the bounds of their own experience, never troubling to wonder how it would feel to have been born other than they are. They can refuse to hear screams or to peer inside cages; they can close their minds and hearts to any suffering that does not touch them personally; they can refuse to know.

I might be tempted to envy people who can live that way, except that I do not think they have any fewer nightmares than I do. Choosing to live in narrow spaces leads to a form of mental agoraphobia, and that brings its own terrors. I think the wilfully unimaginative see more monsters. They are often more afraid.

What is more, those who choose not to empathise enable real monsters. For without ever committing an act of outright evil ourselves, we collude with it, through our own apathy.

One of the many things I learned at the end of that Classics corridor down which I ventured at the age of 18, in search of something I could not then define, was this, written by the Greek author Plutarch: What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.

"Inspirational speech"

1. Growth takes time. You only want to do is target sights, full of patience, full of indomitable spirit to move forward, and this is our growth process.

2. Way of life of our people, there are two: the first one is like grass alive, you though alive, still growing every year, but you are, after all, is a grass, you absorb the sun and rain, but grow up, people can step you, but it will not be because of your pain and he produces pain, people do not come because you were stepped pity you, because people do not see you! So every one of us should be tree-like growth, even if we do nothing, but as long as you have the seeds of the tree, even if it was the middle of the man stepped on the soil, you are still able to absorb soil nutrients, own growing up, maybe two in three years, you grow up, two decades but eight or ten years, you will be able to grow into towering trees, when you grow into towering trees, the distant place that people will be able to see you come near you, you can giving a green, a cool, can you help others, even if people leave you, a look back, you are still on the horizon a beautiful landscape, tree alive beautiful scenery, dead still is a pillar of the living dead are used, this standard is the standard of life of each and every one of us and grow.

3. Those who want to all of a sudden, the thing dry into the idea, even if he did into this thing, he no foundation tantamount to build a house on the beach, they will definitely collapse, only slowly things step by step as dry as, every step gave himself has laid a solid foundation, each step gave a good explanation, and then again to the next higher go step he is able to make things really do successful .

2. You in the end what is most like what we should do when you decide life doing, you must unswervingly to stay here, Do not change, you can be like a river, flow more broad, but Do not want to go into another river, or into a high mountain.

5. Our future life one of the most important ability, the ability called bite the bullet, and a lot of celebrities will encounter a lot of things you can not stand, but you have to live with, rather than endure can not succeed, and why? Because you do not bite the bullet, you do not have the time, you do not have the space, not toward future space, if you want to last into the future, become stronger and more prosperous, you have to do to give myself enough time and space , turn to our own lives in order to strive for a great goal when you exclude, to have must exclude all trivial interference in your life, so you have to bite the bullet! Personal, you want to have a great development, you have to fight for their own time, to fight for space, fight for the future, and to gain time to fight for space to fight for the future of one of the most important prerequisite is that you have the ideal! But you dare to endure life appear unfair to you, or you think you can not stand the things!

6. I have a metaphor, every river has its own different life curve, the curve of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River is definitely not the same, but every river has its own dream, that is, towards the sea! Therefore, regardless of the Yellow River is how the twists and turns, bypassing the obstacles Yangtze River Shui bend as good as the Yellow River, but she broke through the cliffs, the way is not the same, but to finally come to the sea. When we encounter difficulties, whether it is rush to go around, as long as we could in the past, I hope everyone can make their own life to the dream stream past, the same as the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers flow to the end of their dreams, into a broad ocean, so that their lives become open broadened own career, but not to say that you want the stream will be able to stream past, in fact, there have a spirit, no doubt, this is the water spirit! Our life sometimes sediment, although you can also follow the water with forward flow, but because of your personality defect, in the face of a difficult step backward or timid, you might slowly will be the same as the sediment precipitated down , once you precipitation down, you may no longer need to move forward efforts, but you never see the sun, you precipitate it, above the sediment will continue to suppress you, and finally you will be dark, So I suggest that everyone, regardless of your life is how kind, must have the spirit of water, even if it is contaminated, wash their own strength as water continues to savings, to break through the obstacles, when you find timing not to the thickness of the accumulated, when one day when the time comes, youll be able to gallop into the sea, the achievements of their lives!

7 .Everyone know Western mythology, there is a story called Sisyphus, due Zeus punishment must push down from the foot of a stone pushed to the top of the hill, when the big rock pushed him to the top of the hill, the stone will automatically rolled down to the foot of the mountain, he had to start from scratch to push up, so worried! Little think about our daily life and work is not such a process, and when he pushed the stone, when to treat it as a form of punishment, his mind will be very hard to accept daily with grievances resentment in pushing the stone like many of us work with grievances and resentment at work, your work will always do well, but when he later realized this, and push through the seasons, push lightning weathered, when he pushed to the top of the hill to see higher and more beautiful blue sky, he felt that push the stone is also a beautiful time of life, life in fact has been sublimated. Our lives what passes cost-effective, when we look back we have in the past days, we have some days to make our own was moved to tears, what let you in tears the day, you make some let you feel can not do, but you do things.

8. of my own personal experience is how business is more successful a few key points: the first point, and how, as far as possible, to combine their long-term goals and short-term goals, we must first distinguish what things we want to life doing things, which things are suddenly finish the things we can not dry. China we have a saying hurry slow to do, the more anxious you things, you are done more carefully and more seriously, the more we can do a good job, and the more anxious you do things the faster, but more to do to pieces. I hurry to call it a major event, for example, you want to be a lifetime to master a high level of English, you say three months, learn twelve hours a day, you are absolutely impossible, three months, and you English level will be greatly improved, but three months later, you do not learn that in another three months, forget your English level. The second element is to determine their own life to do, then I think very important is usually to do things when the time plan, a person is very dynamic, and I do more than ten years ago, the New Oriental I feel that the time is not enough, Im too busy hands and feet the air, finally found something to finish, I twenty-four hours to do things, out of things to do with more than a dozen years ago my twenty-four hours running around in circles , is quite different. So why can busy over it, the reason is very simple, because you busy when you know how to plan your time, do remember that, no matter the time, and certainly are able squeezed out, then there is a very important, called the success of the necessary self-restraint, I ski five years ago, just up on the snow to fall on the snow fell, but then I found that it does not work, I have to learn to stop, we know that skiing two parked method of beginner ski toe stop method, but when the ski slope to reach a certain slope, this eight regardless of use, to the two skis side over side stop, so I spent a whole weeks time, I have not practiced skiing, I come with specialized training to stop, stop I found I have done a very good time, I directly carrying snowboard a senior Road, I have a friend, he felt that you can on that I can on his side of the ski trails is hillside, one side is cliffs, the results after him when he could not stop. directly rushed to the cliffs that have passed, rushed past that he is not afraid of you, afraid he began forcibly Niuguo Lai Niuguo Lai a foot Niuguo Lai, the other feet did not Niuguo Lai, results of two feet ripped ligament was completely pulled off at any time, when youre in front of the face of a huge temptation, and any other temptation may arise, if you feel not stop, you do not go chase that thing, because you chase that thing can not stop himself, and finally come a cropper necessarily you!

9. Great and extraordinary difference is that an ordinary person, living a trivial life every day, but he spelled out the trivial, or a bunch of trivial life! The so-called great man, a bunch of trivial things, by a great goal, daily accumulated into a great career!

10. There are two words that I appreciate: Life is a process; career is a result. Everyone live live in every day, if every day you upset you every day all combined, is your life happy, but if you happy every day, in fact, your life is happy Happy! Time I go to the Yellow River, I use mineral water bottles filling a bottle of water, we all know that the Yellow River water is particularly muddy, then I placed on the side of the road, about an hour or so, so I am very surprise, found that three-quarters have become a very clear and a bottle of water, and only a quarter of it is settling down sediment. That if we put a bottle of water to fresh water part of the metaphor of our happiness and joy, and that that mud, muddy sediment precipitation metaphor of our pain, you understand, when you shake it after your life in whole is full of pollution, that is full of all the pain and trouble, but when you calm down, despite the sediment total weight at all did not decrease, but it is deposited in your heart, because your heart is quiet, so we never mix up three-quarters of your life must be happiness and joy. What is the cause of a result, we all know that as one thing, it really is relentless, if New Oriental I do fail, I am absolutely not here today to give you the opportunity to address the reasons because its final results here, so anything as long as you do it, he can not be considered successful, for example, we said Cao Xueqin success, whether socialist or capitalist, would have to admit that Cao Xueqin Chinese history one of the greatest writers, we say that Newton is successful, whatever nation or any people would admit that he is one of the greatest scientists in the world, I consider myself to be successful, unsuccessful New Oriental much not successful how much money I have or how many friends I think I succeeded in that I have a state of mind, I fell in the past more than 10 million times, the future I may also fall thousands of times, but Im still able to get up. For how you do things, things like, the eyes of people in society, it is the only standard of success!

11. I want to say that human life is very flat road, by you absolutely go finish this world only you together with others, for the same goal, with things, in order to put the thing made very limited power of one person, but a group of people is unlimited power, when five fingers outstretched, five fingers, but when you put five fingers hold up, it is a fist!

Weve all been taught that we should help people. It is the right thing to do and will make us popular with others. It may even win us favors in return. However, we must be realistic. We cant say yes to every request. If we did, we would fail or go crazy for sure. Sometimes we simply dont have the time to help. In this case, we must know how to say no politely. When we need to say no, here is one method we can try. First, we should tell the truth. If we really cant do something, we should just say so. Second, we should remember to refuse requests politely. We must communicate clearly, but must also be sincere and sympathetic. A true friend will understand. Finally, we must not feel guilty about saying no. Sometimes refusing others is the right thing to do. It can save ourselves, and them, a lot of trouble. In short, we cannot please everyone all the time. Refusing favors is a part of life.

Passions are stoked, and the assault on truth begins. The necessary predicate for discrediting your opposition and for creating supporters. It usually starts with attacks on the press and journalists. And then it moves to universities and students and professors.

Since truth is the real enemy, and whoever pursuit it must be declared the enemy. Evidence of nation after nation making this distressing turn is now all around us. We must be careful not to underestimate the negative consequences to our own values caused by this pervasive form of censorship and suppression.

Given the ever-increasing integration of peoples of the world. Through the powerful forces of economic activity, communication, and movements across borders, we depend on professors, students, and ideas flowing freely through our community of institutions. We may therefore sometimes look at these acts of intolerance abroad as matters of here foreign consequence, but they almost also have much more direct and immediate consequences for our own values.

The most recent case that vividly makes this point is the hideous torture and murder of Khashoggi. A Saudi national and unsparing critic of that regime. A violation of international law and human rights, yes, it certainly appears so. But it was potentially a violation of American law, and the interests protected by those laws for Khashoggi was a communist with the Washington post and a legal resident of the United States. With two children of his four who are U.S. citizens. As such he was protected by the first amendment for the things he said and for which he was killed. This is a crime under American laws against torture and violation of civil rights, for which there is extraterritorial jurisdiction to pursue prosecution. Though it is deplorable that no action has been taken in this country to bring this killer to justice and to vindicate U.S. interests. A precedent that should concern us all.

Of course, there is no shortage of attacks on truth and on truth seekers right here at home. The undermining of honest discourse has occurred so far not through official acts of censorship, but more indirectly, if not very subtlety, the means of suppression.

The good news is the way to clean up the pollution can be found in [the] three words written on the cover of your diploma. It’s the motto of this great university: ‘Per Veritatem Vis’ (strength through truth). And it’s a motto that fits perfectly with a university named for George Washington.

In 1794, during President Washington’s second term, there was a faction ginning up support for secession. Washington recognized the threat it was…threat it posed – and he was confident that it would not succeed. He wrote in a letter, and I quote, ‘It is not difficult by concealment of some facts, and exaggeration of others to bias a well-meaning mind, at least for a while.’

But, he continued, ‘Truth will ultimately prevail where pains is taken to bring it to light.’

Now, I know the phrase ‘pains is taken’ probably just horrified every English major here. As kids, we were taught that Washington never told a lie, but they never told us he had trouble with subject-verb agreements.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, it is my great pleasure to give my topic with you.Eh, I am just a little nervous right now. And I usually sing a song when I feel nervous. So would you mind me singing a song? Of course not!(sing the song…) Did I sing well?Okay, thank you. Do you like this piece of music? Yes or no? By the way, do you know the name of the song? Who can tell me? ---Yep! You are right! The name of the song is Imagine me without you. As for me, I can’t imagine me without English in my life. Why? Please wait a moment. You will get the answer from the following content. Let’s back to our topic.

As we all know, English is an international language. I am 14 years old now and I’ve learnt English for 9 years. It has become a part of my life. I think English is not only important but also very useful to me.

I have never thought that, I would pay such more attention to learning English because when I was six, I always got bad marks at school and I could not figure out the letters “ R” and “K”。 Yeah, that is impossible.

One day, my mom came to school and took me home and she saw the letters on the blackboard. She pointed to “R” and asked me “What is this?”---“R”。 “And what about this one”? She pointed to “K”。---“R”! I answered. “Are you sure?”---“Yep, mummy, They are the same!” I said confidently! My mom shook her head with an upset face. She was so disappointed with me. From then on, she tried to use many different ways in order to improve my English, such as inviting the private teachers with high salary; finding foreign teachers online; buying lots of English books or encouraging me to enter different English competitions and so on. And I also worked very hard. I got up early every morning to read English books aloud and had English classes for hours. Sometimes I felt really tired and I had no progress. I felt frustrated! Luckily, my mum is always with me! She wanted me to learn everything happily but not with lots of pressure. She tried to make me relax. It was a kind of logical game. Would you like to have a try? Follow me, please! Raise your hands up. This is a gun in my left hand and there are four birds in my right hand. Now I need to exchange them like this. Try to do it as fast as you can! Can you do it? Well, maybe it is a little difficult at first. So did I. So I tried it patiently and carefully again and again. You see, I can do it as fast as I can now. I think the way to learn English is still the same. After a difficult training time, I found that: the more English I’ve learnt patiently,the more confidence I’ve got and the more interested I was in learning English.

I am an outgoing girl. I love to explore and know more about the world. I have some friends from different countries. At first, I could not follow them clearly. But they were friendly. They treated me as a member of their family. We could play jokes to each other or share something interesting together. I remembered one day I had mentioned to my American teacher that I had a fight with my friend and I felt left behind. She stopped for a moment and said: “It doesn’t matter. I am always with you.” At that time I felt really warm. Sometimes I talk with my friends on Skype and some of them on QQ. And one of my friend came from Philippines had asked me to give him the QQ red bag.Very interesting, right?

During the time when I learn English, I understand a point clearly that is “Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can. There will always come a time you will be grateful you did.” We should always in siston what we are seeking. I wouldn’t give up learning English. Thanks for your listening.

you -- you’re on the cusp of some of the most astonishing breakthroughs in the history of mankind -— scientific, technological, socially —- that’s going to change the way you live and the whole world works. But it will be up to you in this changing world to translate those unprecedented capabilities into a greater measure of happiness and meaning -— not just for yourself, but for the world around you.

And I feel more confident for my children and grandchildren knowing that the men and women who graduate here today, here and across the country, will be in their midst. That’s the honest truth. Thats the God’s truth. Thats my word as a Biden.

Congratulations, Class of 20xx. And may God bless you and may God protect our troops. Thank you.

FUTURE IS NOW

What is future?Every time I look at the stars in the sky,I ask myself.Its realy a hard question to answer it.The universe is boundless,we dont know where are we from and where shall we go.I stand there,at sea.

Last Sunday,there was a rain of meteors.I went to the belcony towait for their coming.Above my shoulder,it was the wind.Above the wind,it was the sky,huge and blue,with sparkling stars.Suddenly,a shooting star appeared.I hurried to pray for her happiness,staring at it.I wanted to pray for more,but it had already died out.I realised ,future is not carved on the meteors,but its now,around us.

When a fortune-teller look at your palm,shell tell you how your future will be like.Thats a way you place your hope on.But its not realistic.The future is the things and people around you.What you should do is to try to do everything well,dont care much about the results.Be kind to all the people around you,and love them.Although the world is not full of love,the life is not a bed of rose,you should sdick on your belief.When time passes,youll find everything you do is worthwhile.

Years is glorious.Because no way you can stop time from elasping.How time flies!Just like the flowers in spring,the sunshine in summer,the moon in mid-autumn and the snow in winter.Maybe one morning youll never wake up,youll never see the sunrise or the sunset;youll never see your sweatheart or talk to her,youll never hear the sound of the nature or wander on the path among the trees,youll never swim in the lake or climb the mountains.

Time is gold.Every minute is precious.We should make best use of it.Dont waste even one minute.Spend time in working,in laughing,in playing games and in loving.

Each of us has a kite flying in the sky,and we also have a string each.

Childrens kite is childhood,the string is grown.

Lovers kite is love,the string is daily life.

I have a kite,it is called dream,the string in my hands is reality.

The wind which makes kites fly is future.Kites are not free,but we still have power to control them and let them fly higher and higher.The string is in my hands,future is now in my hands.

Future is now,forget the fortune-teller,clench your fists!

A Young Idler,An Old Beggar

Almost everyone knows the famous Chinese saying：A young idler，an old beggar. Throughout history，we have seen many cases in which this saying has again and again proved to be true.

It goes without saying that the youth is the best time of life，during which ones mental and physical states are at their peaks. It takes relatively less time and pains to learn or accept new things in a world full of

changes and rapid developments. In addition，one is less likely to be under great pressure from career，family and health problems when young. Therefore，a fresh mind plus enormous energy will ensure success in different aspects of life.

Of course，we all know：no pains，no gains. If we dont make every effort to make good use of the

advantages youth brings us，it is impossible to achieve any goals. As students，we should now try our best to learn all the subjects well so that we can be well prepared for the challenges that we will face in the future.

我的演讲完了，希望大家多多支持我!请投给我宝贵的一票吧!

So if…even if you hate politics – and there are certainly plenty of good reasons to hate politics these days – you will have to engage in political dialogue, if only to survive Thanksgiving dinner with your crazy uncle. And you will have to judge the arguments made by candidates if you are going to vote intelligently.

The question I hope you will ask yourself [is]: on what basis will you make those judgments?

It would be natural to think that a degree from one of America’s top colleges has prepared you as a skilled judge of political debates. But unfortunately, a recent study found that the smartest and most knowledgeable voters can actually be the worst judges. And the reason is they are most likely to make judgments based on which party is making the argument rather than on the argument itself.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. ‘I would never do that,’ you say. But it happens unconsciously all the time. People have a tendency to assume the worst about those on the other side of the aisle. And when it comes to those on your side, they tend to see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil. And that’s why – you can applaud if you want – that’s why educated and knowledgeable people excuse these actions that are ethically wrong and defend statements that are blatant lies.
