A word that has changed the world
Good morning,dear teachers;
It's my great honor to be here today.
I am chuchen from translation 106. My English name is Aubrey, given by myself. Intelligence is my main asset,while indolence is my biggest shortcoming. These 2 i words make me who I am.
And now I'm going to talk about A Word That Has Changed The World.
Days ago,when I first known the topic of the competition today,a myriad of thoughts crowded into my mind. I was thinking:what kind of things can be defined as having changed the world? I thought of Isaac Newton and Thomas Edison;I thought of papermaking technology and the Internet. They all changed the world.
After hesitating and struggling,I finally find a perfect word to describe their similarity -- innovation.
I remember Henry Ford has said:"If I asked an automobile user before car was invented,what kind of vehicle do you want? He will definitely answer me, a faster horse." And now,the same question,the answers might be a faster car. That's an innovation in answers.So,what caused such an obvious change? As well as changing the transportation system of the whole world, the invention of automobile has also changed people's daily life and rebuild their cognition of vehicle. It provides human being a completely different way to enjoy a diverse style of life. Before this great innovation,it was hard to imagine that we can get to somewhere 100 kilometers away within an hour . But now,with this innovation,we take it for granted. The invention of automobile is a great innovation that changed the world fundamentally. And actually,every innovation can change the world.
It is innovation that start something new,creative,and revolutionary. It is innovation that brings better things to the world and rebuilds people's cognition. It is innovation that changes the world.
That's all,thank you.!~

LOVE——a word that has changed the world
Morning/Afternoon everyone,
I feel very glad to be here to give you a short speech on this beautiful Saturday morning/afternoon. My topic today is that the word “Love” has changed the world.
In our life, there is no doubt that love has played an important role. From we were born to this world, only a strong soul and a hot heart with us, in the soul and heart, flowing with the beautiful love. It need us to use this beautiful thing to love, to care for the people all around us. Just as the song sings, "If everyone gave a little love, the world will become a paradise" .
We can also say, Love is a kind of attitude: love life, love friends, love ourselves! Many people believe that the word "love" can mean more than just what the word stands for, and I also believe that “love” is the word that can change the world. Because of love, something that used to be impossible can be made possible. “love” is one of the main element that drives the world forward to a better future.
Love is the world's most beautiful expression, love can light a excitement, one love is enough to warm a cold heart. So,my dear friends, From tomorrow, to be a caring person, care for all those who need warmth; from tomorrow, care for children and the elderly, let them feel the warmth of life; from tomorrow, concern for the environment and environmental protection, saving every drop of water, make the environment more clean, also the sky blue .Don’t despise you can do little good, because, love has spread, it will change the world. Mountain high also has a top, another major difficulties are limited, but our strength has been enhanced. In a word, a bit love can change the world!
That’s all. Thank you.
从降生到这个世界上的那一天起，伴随我们的只有一个强大的灵魂和一颗滚烫的心，在那灵魂和心房里，流淌着炽热的爱。就让我们用这颗炽热的爱心，去爱身边的每一个人吧，就像歌里唱的那样：“只要人人都献出一点爱，世界将变成美好的人间”。
我们也可以说，爱是一种态度：爱生活，爱朋友，爱我们自己！很多人认为 “爱”意味着更多的不仅仅是什么字代表。我也相信“爱”这个字是可以改变世界。因为爱，这曾经是不可能成为可能。 “爱”的一个主要因素，推动世界前迚一个美好的未来。
爱是世界上最美的表情，爱可以平淡一份激动的心情，一份爱也足以温暖一颗寒冷的心。所以，我亲爱的朋友，从明天起，做一个有爱心的人，关爱所有需要温暖的人；从明天起，关心孩子和老人，让他们也感受生活的暖意；从明天起，关注环境和环保，节约每一滴水，让环境更清洁，还天空一片蓝色。不要轻看轻你可以做到的小小的善，因为，爱一经传播，就会改变世界。大山再高也有顶， 困难再大也有限，而我们的力量却在不断增强，我们的潜力是无限的。
简而言之，爱只要一点点,就能将世界改变。
谢谢！
