My future
Good evening.Ladies and gentlemen!
I am honour to stand here to deliver my speech .And my topic today is about future. As we all know, man?s life is a process of growing up, actually I?m standing here is a growth. If a person?s life must constituted by various choices, then I grow up along with these choices. Once I hope I can study in a college in future, however that?s passed, as you know I come here, now I wonder what the future holds for me.
When I come to this school, I told to myself: this my near future, all starts here. Following I will learn to become a man, a integrated man, who has a fine body, can take on important task, has independent thought, an open mind, intensive thought, has the ability to judge right and wrong, has a perfect job. Once my teacher said :” you are not sewing, you are stylist; never forget which you should lay out to people is your thought, not craft.” I will put my personality with my interest and ability into my study, during these process I will combine learning with doing. If I can achieve this “future”, I think that I really grow up. And I deeply believe kindred, good-fellowship and love will perfection and happy in the future. How to say
future? Maybe it?s a nice wish. Lets make up our
minds,
stick to it and surely well enjoy our life.

英语演讲比赛稿：We Are Family
2008 is a special year for Beijing for the Olympic Games. It is a special year for me too. I watched 8 games. The Olympic Games let me know, for all of the people in the world, we are family.
In the 16 days, I saw different people from different countries. I heard different languages in the world. I sat next to English, American, Canadian and Korean when watching hockey games. I shouted “Go! Go! Go!” with Argentinian and Serbian when watching football match. In the Olympic Park, Australian friends shared their small gifts with Russian, German, French and Chinese. Everybody from different countries smiled at each other. Everybody was friendly to each other in these 16 days. This is Olympic. It brings friendship, it brings peace.
I will remember the Beijing Olympic Games in my life.
In 2008, I understand, we are living in earth village.
I believe, we are family of the world.
My speech is over. Thanks!

Lecture Scripts
Global Citizenship Begins at Home
When I saw this title , I felt a little nervous, if I could expound this topic for you clearly, maybe my wisdom was enough to help me write a masterpiece in every field. Unfortunately , I cannot. And fortunately, in less than 3 minutes will you know my ideas.
I think the most unbelievable news in the last century is we are
genetically 99.9% the same. Do you feel a little excited, now? I did, when I first time heard it from the radio. And suddenly realized that we are born to be the same. This eye-catching news approved what we called “global village”, and then told us we are born with a “global citizenship” just like with the character.
However, same to the character, global citizenship is not only accepted by oneself ,but also by others. As traditional Chinese
saying goes, “thousands of miles should begin at first step”. Only if we have a good beginning at home — step first we firmly
stepped, it would be easy for other global citizens to admit us .
But you may feel a little bored to listen to my lecture and ask “what do you really want us to know?”
So let?s pay attention to our motherland. China has set us good
examples to favor the title “global citizenship begins at home”. More than a hundred years ago, when the old Chinese government limited economic growth and lock his doors against the world. He missed the best opportunity to develop himself. He abandoned home, but
was eager for an absolute global citizenship. He wanted to ignore the first step but jump far. Let alone other countries with an ulterior motive, I cannot agree. But now everything is changing. China is enjoying his broaden global citizenship in global affairs. Only when he is getting stronger himself, the global citizenship is truly owned by himself.
Honor judges and dear friends, remember “global citizenship begins at home”, our dream should be that we keep on going to conform the changing world and keep our global citizenship worthy. As long as our dream outweighs our ability, the world, our country and
ourselves will be forever young. That?s is our destiny. And this is our moment.
Thank you for listening. Good night.

good afternoon， Ladies and gentlemen . The title of my speech is " The development of traditional culture " :
The 21st century has started a new history . Great changes have taken place in the world because of the prosperous
development of technology and science . Some of you might have noticed that more and more people around us have started to learn a second language besides English . But maybe you will ask me “Isn?t it a good thing ?” No , absolutely not . It certainly meets the
objective request of the economic globalization .While we accept western culture, some of us lost themselves in the ?cultural sea?. Chances are that we are likely to lose our own traditional cultures . So ,the cultural globalization which is caused by economic
globalization may be harmful to our country?s scientific
development.
As is well known to all , culture is the pillar of
science .But there exist two phenomenon in the process of
globation . One is some people called ?Mr West ? 。They accept western culture without any judgement , and they don?t care whether it is good or not . For instance ,maybe someone has found that
western festivals are more and more popular such as Christmas and
Valentine?s day. At the same time ,Chinese traditional festivals are fading away in our memories .we can?t image how a country could develop with its own culture lost. Well , another is called ? Mr Old ? , in the contrary , they refuse to accept any other cultures , they blame that cultural globalization is a disaster . To our surprise , they
absolutely don?t know that exchanging culture communication can advance the development of science and technology .
Absolutely affirm or deny a culture for our development isn?t a wise choice it isn?t a wise choice to completely accept or deny a
culture.. I?m glad to hear that our party implemented a policy which is called sustainable development and tries their best to inherit and enhance our traditional culture .Under the precondition , our culture could promote . In this case, Chinese citizen may manager to survive. What?s more , we feel delighted to see that more and more 孔子学院have been built up）world-wide , aiming（AIMED） at carry on preserving and developing our traditional culture . I believe , under the guidance of the ?Scientific concept of development ? , Chinese technology , culture or even economic economy will reach to a new summit（REACH AN ALL-TIME HIGH）.
LET MY SPEECH BE AN OVERTURE TO THE GRAND
SYMPHONY OF MAN AND ANTURE
Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen:
When the topic “people and nature” first caught my eye, I was
reminded of a story about myself and my violin. I began learning to play the violin when I was eight years old. At first, it was a very hard thing for me. After my continued efforts, I was able to play a lot of musical pieces very soon. I felt so proud of myself that I began to behave arrogantly. My violin teacher noticed this and told me: “To be a good violin player, you should first of all love and respect your violin. You should obey the rules of playing it so as to make harmonious melodies. Remember, play the violin not only with your hands, but also with your heart and soul. ” Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that nature is to people what my violin is to me. Isn?t it true that people deal with nature just as I play the violin? Isn?t it true that we have been so arrogant that we take liberties with nature, which brings about the discord between nature and ourselves? Since my violin and I have finally reached harmony, why can?t people and nature head toward the same direction? Ladies and gentlemen, we
cannot wait. Nor can we afford to wait until the day when we find no city, no Hilton hotel, no lecture hall to hold any speech contests in. Let us love and respect nature, nature that is the violin people have played for thousands of years. Let us treasure it, and play it with our heart and soul. Let us observe its rules while developing our industry,
modernizing our traffic system, and improving our living conditions, so that one day, people and nature will together produce the most
beautiful and peaceful music. On that day, I am sure to be there with my violin, to join the world orchestra, in playing the ode to harmony, the eternal harmony between people and nature. Let my speech today be an overture to that grand symphony. Thank you.
就业时选择高薪还是好的职位
Do You Prefer High Salary or A Promising Job?(观点题
材)When it comes to the choice of career, some people prefer the job with high salary. Why? Their reasons run as following: to begin with, high salary can bring them happy life; in addition, with high salary, they can do whatever they want. But some others prefer to choose a job with promising future. They base their choice on the following reasons: on one hand, a promising job itself means a raise and promotion in the future; on another hand, job with a bright future will bring them honor and sense of pride. As for me, if I’m left to make the choice, I’ll not
hesitate to choose a promising job. First of all, I appreciate the honor and challenge it brings to me. At the same time, if I work hard, it will offer me a lot of opportunities including high salary, good position, etc.

Building Bridges for the Future
I?m studying in a city that?s famous for its walls. People who visit my city are amazed at the imposing sight of its walls, especially when silhouetted against the setting sun with gold, shining streaks. The old, cracked bricks are covered with lichens and the walls are weather-beaten guards standing still for centuries.
Our ancestors liked to build walls. They built walls in Beijing, Xi?an, Nanjing and many other cities, and they built the Great Wall, which snakes across half our country. They built walls to protect against enemies and evil spirits. This tradition has survived to this day: we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public.
For a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world to me.
My perceptions, however, changed after I made a hiking trip to the eastern suburbs of my city. My ClASsmates and I were walking with some foreign students. As we walked out of the city, we found
ourselves flanked by tall trees, which formed a wide canopy above our heads. Suddenly one foreign student asked me, “Where is the entrance to the eastern suburbs?”
“We?re already in the eastern suburbs,” I replied. He seemed taken aback, “I thought you Chinese had walls for everything.” His remark set off a heated debate. At one point, he likened our walled cities to “jails”, while I insisted that the eastern suburbs were one of the many places in China that had no walls.
That debate had no winners, but I did learn a lot from this
student. For instance, he told me that some major universities like Oxford and Cambridge were not surrounded by walls. I have to
admit that we do have many walls in China, and as we develop our country, we must look carefully at them and decide whether they are physical or intangible. We will keep some walls but tear down those that impede our development.
Let me give another example.
A year ago, when I was working on a term paper, I needed a book on business law and found a copy in the law school library. However, the librarian coldly rejected my request to borrow it,
saying, “You can?t borrow this book, you?re not a student here.” In
the end, I had to spend 200 yuan to buy a copy. Meanwhile, the copy in the law school gathered dust on the shelf.
At the beginning of this semester, I heard that my university had started to think of unifying its libraries and linking them to libraries at other universities, so my experience wouldn?t be repeated.
Barriers would be replaced by bridges. An inter-library loan system would give us access to books from any library. With globalization and China integrated into the world, I believe many of these
intangible walls will be knocked down.
If There Were No After Life
Whether there?s afterlife, the answer has never been the same. The atheists deny after life, believing that our life is no more than from the cradle to the grave. They may care about their illustrious names after death; they may feel attached to the affection of their offspring, but they never lay their hopes on their afterlife. They may also say that good will be rewarded with good, and evil with evil, but they don?t really believe any retribution in their after life.
However, in the religious world or among the superstitious people, the belief in afterlife is very popular. They do not only believe in afterlife, but thousands of reincarnations as well. In the mysterious
world, there are the paradise and the hell, the celestial beings and the gods, the Buddha and the Bodhisattvas.
Maybe they really believed it, or maybe they just wanted to make use of people?s veneration, the ancient emperors always declared that they were the real dragons, the sons of God, while the royal
ministers claimed to be the reincarnations of various constellations. But can the stars reincarnate?
Many people burn incense and kowtow, do good deeds and strive for virtues, not just for the present, but mainly to let God see their
sincerity so as to be reborn into a better afterlife, or to achieve the
highest enlightenment after several lives of practice. They do believe in afterlife. But I can?t help asking: Suppose there were no afterlife, would you still do good deeds and strive for virtues? And If God does not see what you are doing, would you still be so upright and selfless? If you work, not for serving the public and liberating the others, but just for a better afterlife of your own, isn?t it a little too selfish? Comparing with this kind of believers, those who don?t believe in afterlife, but still keep doing good deeds, are the most sincere and honest philanthropists, because they do them not for themselves but for other.
You may wonder if I believe in afterlife. My answer is: I know nothing about my previous life, so I dare not make improper
comments on afterlife. But I do hope there?s afterlife! Because our present life is so short that so many things slip away before our proper understanding. I have so many dreams, so many wishes, so many ambitions, as well as so many regrets and concerns. If there were no afterlife, all of them will remain unrealized!
I?m not contented with the present commonplace life, I?m very much attached to the affections that should have been mine but have been washed away by the hurrying time, and I yearn for the perfection and maturity if I could start all over again. So believe it or not, I?d rather there were afterlife.
My dream
Dreams are the wind for our sails on the ocean. Dreams kindle a flame to illuminate our dark roads. Dreams are the armor for our fragile hearts. Martin Luther King had a dream — it was to have
justice for all people. Lincoln had a dream — it was to set the slaves free. They sought their dreams and ultimately made them come true. When I was young, I saw a dog one day. I threw a stone at it just for fun. Then it fell down and looked very weak. At that moment, I was surprised to notice it was pregnant. I can?t remember what happened
next, but there?s one thing I know: that I felt guilty. It was the first time that I found life could so easily pass away. At that time, I had a dream, which was to help those people who needed help. There are too many wars and disasters. About 16,000 people have died in the Iraq War and one child dies every eight seconds in Africa because of starvation. I have dreams, you have dreams and they have dreams too. We should help them. We should save their lives so that they can pursue their own dreams. Just like the lyric of a song says, “We are the ones who make a brighter day so let?s start giving.” Well, that?s my dream, a simple but meaningful one.
Predestination
翻译：北京外国语大学北戴河外语培训基地副校长 张宝丹 Many things in this world find neither an answer nor a proper
explanation. For example, why should two become a couple among the billions of people on earth? Why don't they love each other even though they live together everyday, and yet one of them falls in love with someone else at the first sight? Why do the members of a
family quarrel daily but still stay unhappily together? Why can't they get married in spite of the fact that they are a perfect match to each other? Why should one toil so much for the other? Why should the love-infatuated always be deserted by the heartless?.....
People remain puzzled in spite of their great effort to understand the endless questions, so they invented the all-embracing
word---“predestination”. In order to be more precise, different combinations were derived from it: love predestination, sinful predestination, evil predestination, and kind predestination etc.,
hence we have the sayings like: “Predestination will definitely bring you together despite the great distance while without predestination, you'll never know each other even though you are standing fact to face” “A distant couple is tied up with the thread of predestination” and even the phrases and expressions like “the god of marriage”, “predestination without luck”, “luck without predestination”,
“Coming across each other is a kind of predestination”, “Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road”, “They shall not marry each other unless they are predestined lovers”. If people still can not find answers, they turn to “reincarnation” for help. Lin Daiyu is always in tears just for repaying for the water Jia Baoyu had given her when she was a plant in her previous life in A Dream of the Red
Mansions .
In fact, the so-called “predestination” is often a kind of coincidence or chance encounter, even a kind of accident. If you don't meet this person, you'll surely meet some one else. But people insist on adding some colors of emotions or superstition, thus generating various
religious factions, the main theories of which are no more than that of “reincarnation”, “heaven and hell” and “the ever-lasting soul” etc. But does anyone know anything about his previous life or his after life? What could he do even if he knew them? If he can't grasp the present life, what's the benefit of commenting on the visionary after life? Giving up today is the same as giving up tomorrow, for they are closely connected. How absurd it is to work like the horse or cattle in the present life in order to be above others in the next life.
Which is the real key to success:ability or opportunity?
Do you want to be success? Of course, the answer is yes.
