Dream Is My Top Concern

Honorable judges , fellow students:

Good evening!

I’m number xxx --WangXi who is major in Chemistry and Biology . I’m glad to be here to share my speech today.

What’s your top concern? Maybe the answer of a father is his family and of a mother is her children, for the young adults , maybe a good job、a bright future or endless fortune is their top concern ,and you may tell me that your girlfriend or your boyfriend is your top concern, after all, love is beautiful right? But I was expected to hear a loud voice here to tell me that“Dream is my top concern”。

I have been in college for two years and I’m a boy with confidence、passion and dreams. Nobody can move on without a dream, we all built a dream the day when we walk into this campus, so do I,But how many of us still remember our dream and are we still fighting for it persistently? The answer may goes like “No，we don’t”. Why? Because the truth is we are losing ourselves unprovoked gradually. I saw many of my friends changed from a sunny boy to a computer game player, I also noticed that our habits are not about sports、reading、making friends anymore but just about computer games,I even knew some of our students always stay in the dormitory ，sit in front of their screen and play games day and night without classes、meals and sleeping. That’s what I am worried about.

Do we still remember our promise and how weak we are now, think about that our parents are working hard just want to give us a better environment to ensure ourselves a bright future and they will be old one day but what we are doing now. It’s not too late to make a change,Just take your dream back and say no to Computer Games. I am sure you can still make your own dream come true in the end!

Dream is so beautiful and college is the best place to realize our dream. You can concerned about your grade in your Middle School and concerned about your college in your High school, but now, as a college

student, the top concern of you must be your dream.

There is nothing like struggling for our dream can make us happier.Hold on to your dream and you will succeed one day. Hold on to our dream and we will make miracles together!

That’s all, thank you!

A Scene to Remember

Gu Qiubei

Shanghai International Studies University

Advisor: Gong Longsheng

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Today I would like to begin with a story.

There was once a physical 1) therapist who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a 2) census about mountain 3) gorillas. These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world; this put them severely under threat of 4) poaching and being put into the zoo. She went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful

creatures. She witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we've ever been, where in the very depth of the African rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas 5) cuddled their babies.

Yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called Gorillas in the Mist, based on a true story of Mrs. Dian Fossey, who spent most of bet lifetime in Rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.

To me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a 6) timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our ecoenvironment.

Today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems. On the one hand, tourism, as one of the most

promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go. It has become a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in GDP growth. It has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity. But on the other hand, many problems can occur---natural scenes aren't natural anymore. Deforestation to heat lodges is devastating Nepal. Oil spills from tourist boats are polluting Antarctica. Tribal people are forsaking their native music and dress to listen to U2 on Walkman and wear Nike and Reeboks.

All these 7) appalling(令人震惊的) facts have brought us to the

realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been 8) eroding(侵蚀) our resources.

Encouragingly, the explosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the United Nations has made 2002 the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the world's attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our

ecoenvironment.

Now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection

organizations an: receiving donations--big notes, small notes or even coins--from housewives, 9) plumbers(水管工人), ambulance drivers,

salesmen, teachers, children and 10) invalids(残疾人), Some of them can not afford to send the money but they do. These are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood. Why? Because they care. Because they still want their Mother Nature back. Because they know it still belongs to them.

This kind of feeling that I have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it, it's all coming from a scene to remember, a scene to recall and to cherish.

The other night, as l saw the moon linger over the land and before it

was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs. I found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to some- thing else, someplace else. a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seem to have been except the deer.

And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's lime for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation. Once again, I have come to think of Mrs. Dian Fossey be- cause it's with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our

ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.

And no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our mind, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.

Thank you very much.
