Over the past Spring Festival, I got involved in a family dispute. Right before I got home, four satellite channels of CCTV were added to the 14 channels we had already had. In prime time at night, they all had interesting shows. Therefore, the five of us-my parents, my sisters and I-had to argue over what to watch. Finally, we agreed that we should watch the "most interesting" programme... If we could agree what that was.
However, all of us there remember that for a long time after we had TV, there were only one or two channels available. The increase in options reveals an important change in our life: the abundance of choice.
Fifteen years ago we all dressed in one style and in one colour. Today, we select from a wide variety of designs and shades.
Fifteen years ago, we read few newspapers. Today, we read English newspapers like the China Daily and the 21st Century, as well as various Chinese newspapers.
Fifteen years ago, English majors took only courses in language and literature. Today, we also study Western culture, journalism, business communications, international relations, and computer science.
The emergence of choices marks the beginning of a new era in China's history; an era of diversity, of material and cultural richness, and an era of the rebirth of the Chinese nation.
We enjoy the abundance of choice. But this has not come easily.
About 150 years ago, China was forced to open up its door by Western canons and gunboats. It has been through the struggle and sacrifice of generations that we finally have gained the opportunity to choose for ourselves. The policy of reform and openness is the choice that has made all the difference.
Like others of my age, I'm too young to have experienced the time when the Chinese people had no right to choose. However, as the next century draws near, it is time to ask: What does choice really mean to us young people?
Is choice a game that relies on chance or luck? Is choice an empty promise that never materializes? Or is choice a puzzle so difficult that we have to avoid it?
First, I would like to say: To choose means to claim opportunities.
I am a third-year English major. An important choice for me, of course, is what to do upon graduation. I can go to graduate school, at home or abroad. I can go to work as a teacher, a translator, a journalist, an editor and a diplomat. Actually, the system of mutual selection has allowed me to approach almost every career opportunity in China.
Indeed, this is not going to be an easy choice. I would love to work in such big cities as Beijing or Shanghai or Shenzhen. I would also love to return to my hometown, which is intimate, though slightly lagging in development. I would love to stay in the coastal area where life is exciting and fast-paced. I would also love to put down roots in central and western China, which is underdeveloped, but holds great potential.

good morning/afternoon/evening to mr.____(your teacher's name) and my friends.
i would like to introduce you a short novel named “the old man and the sea”.
it is written by ernest hemingway in cuba in 1951 and published in 1952.
the story of an aging, life-long fisherman who attempts to find himself, and hopefully a fish, on a fishing trip in the gulf waters off cuba.
after spending most of his life alone and losing his only companion who is a young cuban boy, the old man heads out to sea once again.
his 84 days without a notable catch end on this trip, but will he be able to defeat the odds after catching a gigantic marlin?
this short novel is universal in its consideration of the plight of an old man struggling against age, loneliness, mortality, humility and poverty to maintain his identity and dignity. apart from that, the cheerful and optimistic old man wants to reestablish his reputation in the community. besides, he also wants to ensure for all time his relationship with those he loves and to whom he hopes to paon everything he values the most. finally, he survives and wins the battle. this has shown his heroic struggle not only redeems himself but also inspires and spiritually enriches those around him.
thanks for your attention.
a common concept among some people is that opportunities are few. they always complain that opportunities never occur to them. they only admire those people who make a hit or succeed by seizing some opportunities, and always wonder why they are never given a good opportunity to show their talent.
another common notion is that there are opportunities everywhere. opportunity may occur to anybody at any time and under any circumstances as long as he/she keeps ma-ki-ng constant efforts. as a student, you can get to the top through your hard work. as a businessman, you can succeed through accurate calculation and with a complete certainty that you can make a profit.
in my opinion, opportunity favors only those who keep trying and who are ready for it. as the saying goes "god helps those who help themselves", so no matter whether there's opportunity or not, what we should do is to study, to learn and become learned people, only in this way can you seize your opportunity when it occurs. so never say there's no opportunity again, opportunities are around us.

早上八點(diǎn),我推開王局長辦公室的門。
“王局長,這段時(shí)間我的眼睛出了問題,什么東西都看不清,我想請(qǐng)一周假到大醫(yī)院認(rèn)真檢查一下。”
“老李,你的眼睛出了問題嗎?這可不能拖,請(qǐng)假的事你找辦公室主任就行了。”局長微笑著送我出了門。
下午三點(diǎn),我來到王局長辦公室。
“王局長,這幾天我的眼睛出了問題,幾米之外的東西我看不清。我想請(qǐng)一周假到大醫(yī)院認(rèn)真檢查一下。”
“你今早不是來過了嗎?”
“來過了?我記不得了。”我摸摸頭,故作驚訝地問。
“你找辦公室主任就行了。眼睛是心靈的窗戶,這事兒拖不得啊!”伴著局長爽朗的笑聲,我立即離開了。
第三天下午,當(dāng)我再次進(jìn)入王局長的辦公室時(shí),他愣住了。局長示意我坐下,說:“老李啊,你有困難就說嘛,局里能幫你解決的一定幫你解決。”
“局長,我的眼睛出了問題,看東西總是迷迷糊糊的。我想請(qǐng)幾天假到大醫(yī)院認(rèn)真檢查一下。”我恭敬地說。
“我批你半個(gè)月假,你現(xiàn)在就回去,這回你要認(rèn)真地檢查。”局長說。
回到家,我對(duì)妻子說:“局長親自批我假了,還是老婆的招兒高。明天我們?nèi)ナ〕强磳O子,有半個(gè)月假呢!”
