　　Our character, basically, is a composite of our habits. “Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny,” the maxim goes.

　　Habits are powerful factors in our lives. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.

　　As Horace Mann, the great educator, once said, “Habits are like a cable. We weave a strand of it everyday and soon it cannot be broken.” I personally do not agree with the last part of his expression. I know habits can be learned and unlearned. But I also know it isn't a quick fix. It involves a process and a tremendous commitment.

　　Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11 were transfixed as we saw the first men walk on the moon and return to earth. But to get there, those astronauts literally had to break out of the tremendous gravity pull of the earth. More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off, in the first few miles of travel, than was used over the next several days to travel half a million miles.

　　Habits, too, have tremendous gravity pull- more than most people realize or would admit. Breaking deeply imbedded habitual tendencies such as procrastination, impatience, criticalness, or selfishness that violate basic principles of human effectiveness involves more than a little willpower and a few minor changes in our lives. “Lift off” takes a tremendous effort, but once we break out of the gravity pull, our freedom takes on a whole new dimension.

　　Like any natural force, gravity pull can work with us or against us. The gravity pull of some of our habits may currently be keeping us from going where we want to go. But it is also gravity pull that keeps our world together, that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order. It is a powerful force, and if we use it effectively, we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the cohesiveness and order necessary to establish effectiveness in our lives.

　　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 one's 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 don't 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.

　　HOW ARE TV PICTURES MADE?

　　A TV picture starts with a TV camera. Some TV cameras are big and some are small. The cameras in TV studios are big. Camera operators roll the big cameras around on wheels. There are usually several big cameras in a TV studio. Cameras used outside a TV studio are smaller. TV camera crews take the smaller cameras to news and sports events.

　　Some cameras send out live pictures to your TV set. Some cameras make videotapes that get played later on a television program.

　　All TV cameras need electricity to work. A camera operator points the camera at a scene. The camera picks up light from the scene. It changes this light into an electric signal called the video signal. A microphone changes the sound of people talking or music playing into an electric signal called the audio signal.

　　Dear teachers and students：

　　hello everyone!

　　The title of my speech is "happy to see life, smile to welcome life".

　　In the journey of life, we often encounter setbacks and failures and fall into all kinds of unexpected difficulties. At this time, please don't feel inferior and don't easily say: I can't do it. We should treat life with a positive and optimistic attitude, have the courage to cheer ourselves up and say to ourselves: great.

　　There is such a story that the father's son's grades were mediocre and the family was "in constant war" all day. In the sound of scolding, his son's grades fell again and again, and finally became the penultimate first. My father thought, it's no use beating and scolding anyway. Just try a different attitude. So he looked at his son's test paper and said with a smile, "great, really great!" The son was surprised. The father said, "you think, a person who runs last doesn't have to worry that others will surpass him, but as long as you work hard, you will surpass others." After hearing this, his son suddenly realized that he worked very hard in his future study. After several exams, his son's grades rose to the top. From this story to see our study, we should be inspired: the exam is not ideal, depressed, we might as well say "great!" Because the exam points out our weakness in study and tells us the direction of our efforts.

　　It's better to find problems now than to stumble and wake up in the middle school entrance examination. Failure put an end to yesterday, a new life begins here, and success takes off from here. Let's say "great" to ourselves in the face of setbacks. For us growing up, ups and downs are nutrition, and setbacks are the best university in life. Let's say "great" to ourselves in the face of difficulties. In overcoming difficulties, we continue to mature.

　　As long as we are worthy of ourselves and our parents, let us treat our study and life with an optimistic attitude, constantly strive to forge ahead and write a brilliant movement of life!

　　Thank you!

　　Our path in life will not always be smooth. Setbacks can't be avoided. Failing an important exam, break up with boy or girl friend, or refused by a promising company, such setbacks are likely to get us down. Sometimes we fell so frustrated that we even burst into tears.

　　Drinkin coke is wonderful, despite the undesirble consequent hiccups. It's bitter, sour and peppery, but also sweet. And you'll even feel excited after gulping down a glass. A college experience is part of growing up. We cry, smile, fall in love, get hurt, leave, learn and then we become a better person.

　　University life is like drinking coke. I'm experiencing it. And I know, I enjoy it!

　　My dream

　　hello everyone!

　　Students, guests , teachers and Honorable Judges

　　Good morning !

　　my great pleasure to share my dream with you today. my dream is to become a teacher....

　　As the whole world has its boundaries, limits and freedom coexist in our life. I don’t expect complete freedom, which is impossible. I simply have a dream that supports my life.

　　I dream that one day, I could escape from the deep sea of thick schoolbooks and lead my own life. With my favorite fictions, I lie freely on the green grass, smelling the spring, listening to the wind singing, breathing the fresh and cool air and dissolve my soul in nature at last. Simple and short enjoyment can bring me great satisfaction.

　　I dream that one day the adults could throw their prejudice of comic and cartoon away. They could keep a lovely heart that can share sorrow and happiness with us while watching cartoon or doing personal things. That’s the real communication of heart to heart.

　　I have the belief that my dreams should come true. I am looking forward to some day coming when I am like a proud eagle, which flies to the blue and vast sky.

　　Thank you!

　　Dear leaders, teachers and students：

　　hello everyone!

　　There is a fable that a man caught a young eagle in an eagle's nest on the top of a high mountain. He took the young eagle home and kept it in a chicken cage. The young eagle pecks, plays and rests with the chicken every day. He thinks he is also a chicken. When the chicken grows up, its wings are plump. The master wanted to train it into a falcon, but because it was mixed with chickens all day, it had become a chicken and had no desire to fly at all. The master tried all kinds of methods, but they didn't work. Finally, he took it to the top of the mountain and threw it out. The eagle fell like a stone. In a hurry, he flapped his wings desperately. In this way, he finally flew up!

　　This fable tells us that if we don't know how to fight, struggle and explore the potential deep in our hearts, we can never fly, but just a chicken in a cage. I think this may be the true meaning of autonomous learning!

　　Here, we would like to thank the teacher for providing me with a shortcut to the end of learning, and let us rekindle the courage to climb the peak of learning. He is like a spring slowly surging in our hearts, he is like a flower of success thriving in the soil of knowledge, and he is like a mountain eagle flying in the broad blue sky again in the fable! Finally, I wish our self-management and cooperative learning will blossom better and better!

　　Thank you!

　　Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,

　　I am Chinese. I am proud of being a Chinese with five thousand years of civilization behind. I've learned about the four great inventions made by our forefathers. I've learned about the Great Wall and the Yangtze River. I've learned about Zhang Heng( 張衡 )and I've learned about Zheng He( 鄭和 ) . Who says the Yellow River Civilization has vanished( 消失 ) ？ I know that my ancestors have made miracles( 奇跡 )on this fertile land and we're still making miracles.

　　Who can ignore the fact that we have established ourselves as a great state in the world, that we have devised our own nuclear weapons, that we have successfully sent our satellites into space, and that our GNP ranks No. 7 in the world? We have experienced the plunders ( 掠奪 ) by other nations, and we have experienced the war. Yet, based on such ruins, there still stands our nation----China, unyielding and unconquerable!

　　I once came across an American tourist. She said, “China has a history of five thousand years, but the US only has a history of 200 years. Five thousand years ago, China took the lead in the world, and now it is the US that is leading.”My heart was deeply touched by these words. It is true that we're still a developing nation, but it doesn't mean that we can despise ( 鄙視 ) ourselves. We have such a long-standing history, we have such abundant resources, we have such intelligent and diligent people, and we have enough to be proud of. We have reasons to say proudly ： we are sure to take the lead in the world in the future again, for our problems are big, but our ambition ( 雄心 ) is even bigger, our challenges ( 挑戰(zhàn) ) are great, but our will is even greater.

　　I am Chinese. I have inherited ( 繼承 ) black hair and black eyes. I have inherited the virtues of my ancestors. I have also taken over responsibility. I am sure, that wherever I go, whatever I do, I shall never forget that I am Chinese!

　　I love you, China

　　Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, I’m very glad to make a speech here. Today my topic is “I love you, China.”

　　Since the day I was born, I began to have a proud name—Chinese. Since the day I began to talk, the most beautiful sentence I’ve ever learnt has been “I love you, China!”

　　I love you, China, and I’m so proud of being a Chinese. I’m proud that I’ve got the beautiful yellow skin, black eyes and black hair. I’m also proud that I speak the most beautiful language in the world—Chinese.

　　I love you, China, for I can feel the deep love you give me every day, every minute. Last year, I got an opportunity to visit the United States of America. During my staying there, my father’s boss once invited my family to dinner. While at table, he looked at me and asked: “Little boy, how long have you been in America?” “About a month,” I answered, “How lucky you are!” he said, “If you were living in China, how could you learn such perfect English?” I smiled and told him proudly that all the students in China are able to learn English at school. I saw his surprised eyes and said to myself, “I’m proud of you, China. For you are offering us the best education.”

　　When I came back from the USA, my friends asked me: “How do you feel about your staying there?”“Wonderful” I said. “Then why do you come back?” Hearing this, I told them there were lots of beautiful countries in the world, but none of them can compare with our own country—China. How true the saying is: “There’s no place like home!”

　　I love you, China. As a young student, all we should do is to study hard and devote ourselves whole-heartedly in the future, to the great cause of building you into an even stronger and greater country in the world. I love you, my dear motherland! I love you, China!

　　Thank you for your listening !

　　Sino-Japan problem is always a sensitive topic, a fuse which can trigger a serial of explosion. Some so-called patriots argue that buying domestic products is patriotism and proclaim that in particular all the Chinese should reject goods marked “made in Japan”.

　　Those who are more extreme may smash or plunder a shop which sells Japan products or burn any Japanese car in the street no matter who owns it.

　　Then, how about launch a war against Japan so that we can destroy that malicious disgusting nation which had invaded our mother land then unscrupulous deny the history written in black and white?

　　What if a person, on one hand is a patriot from tip to toe and willing to sacrifice his life to his country if Japan dare to wage a war against China(if possible) while one the other hand he is a Japanese culture vulture?

　　What if the shop the mob smashed is owned by a hard working Chinese businessman? Had they committed a crime? Are the masses just venting their discontentment which accumulates day by day because of the appalling unfairness in the reality?

　　Is it true we just take Japan or international trade as an outlet?

　　Patriotism is not nationalistic fever, not intense ethnic emotion. We need to calm down and differentiate ethnical frenzy and moderate sober patriotism.

　　In addition, there is always danger to ignore the real problematic issue such as political corruption, academic plagiarism, educational unfairness, and social classes polarizing which are screaming for our attention and should be our priority.

　　What has been called for in the loudest voice is usually the most lacking one. Ramble roars in the movie “First Blood”-I have done everything for my country, what has my country done for me?! Nowadays, we badly need a rewritten version of Kennedy’s famous saying “ask not only what you can do for your country but also what your country can do for you.”

　　Ladies and gentlemen , good afternoon! i’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. i hope you will like it , and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.

　　first i want to ask you some questions:

　　1、do you know what is youth?

　　2、how do you master your youth?

　　youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .

　　youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . nobody grows old merely by a number of years . we grow old by deserting our ideals.

　　years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .

　　whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living . in the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .

　　"If you don't want to wake up and find you have no pants to wear, you'd better put themon in sleep," goes a popular joke among students. Obviously, campus thefts have becomeincreasingly annoying as they occur far more often than before. And it seems that the thievesare less choosy these days, with their targets ranging widely from bikes, cell phones, purses,pre-paid IC cards to sunglasses, bags, and even underwear. In short, anything that worth adime is likely to be stolen.

　　What makes students the easy targets? The reasons are not hard to find. But I believe ofall these reasons, the lack of anti-theft alertness is the most important. For lack of alertness,the students tend to leave the doors and windows wide open during sleep at noon or at nightin summer. For the same reason, they'll also leave their bikes unlocked before a store or by aroad, or forget to take away their personal stuff before they go out of the classroom to make aphone call. These acts undoubtedly have increased their exposure to the light-fingeredmonsters.

　　In order to minimize possible losses, the students must stay on guard in the first place, asawareness of the thefts around often makes a big difference. To be more specific, thestudents should not hide any tempting amount of cash in the dorm. Put it in the bank instead.Besides, do not leave any valuable items unattended. Take them wherever you go. Inaddition, it's advisable to develop a neighbourhood watch programme with other students inthe dorm and neighbouring dorms.

　　The Thirsty Pigeon口渴的鴿子

　　A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.

　　Zeal should not outrun discretion.

　　有只鴿子口渴得很難受，看見畫板上畫著一個水瓶，以為是真的。他立刻呼呼地猛飛過 去，不料一頭碰撞在畫板上，折斷了翅膀，摔在地上，被人輕易地捉住了。 這是說，有些人想急于得到所需的東西，一時沖動，草率從事，就會身遭不幸。

　　Good morning everyone,today is my turn to the speech. Can Money BuyHappiness?Can money buy happiness? Different people have different opinions.Some think yes, while others hold the opposite.It is true that with enough moneyone can buy all the things one wants, and live a life of comfort and security.However, it is equally true that lack of money causes great distress. It is acommon view that "money is the root of all evil." The pursuit of money drivesmany people to cheat and steal. In some places there is nothing that cannot bebought with money, resulting in corrupt societies where everybody ismiserable.So, money does not necessarily mean happiness. It all depends on howit is used. If we make honest and sensible use of money, it can be astepping-stone to happiness l Although money cannot buy happiness, it can makehappiness possible if it is employed sensibly.

　　Ladies and Gentlemen:

　　My topic is Honesty.

　　As a correspondent of the Qingdao Morning News, I visited Dr. James Gilman, the President of the International Committee for Marco Polo Studies in England. In this picture, this is James, and this is me and we are looking at a dragon’s tooth. This is a true story.

　　65 years ago, James lived in Qingdao. Then he was only 5 years old. He often visited the Aquarium and was fascinated by a creature on display there, which he thought was a dragon. He was afraid of its sharp teeth and wanted one to keep as a treasure.

　　He kept the tooth for the next 65 years, but the feeling of guilt at having stolen it was there in the background all through his life. It was always on his conscience, and the feeling intensified as he became older. Finally he decided to put right his childish error. In 20xx, he visited Qingdao and returned it to the Aquarium with his sincere apologies. He received a warm welcome.

　　When James visited Qingdao, I accompanied him all the time and reported on his visit. I was deeply touched by his honesty. It has taught me a lot. I think to err is human. The important thing is to have the courage to admit and correct one’s error.

　　Honesty is a vital quality of human behaviour. So we should try to keep an honest mind in everything we say and do. I would like to say to all of my friends: Let’s be honest people of good moral character.

　　Thank you.

　　Good morning/afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My topic is: faith does make a difference to our life.

　　The recent earthquake in Japan has triggered a series of unexpected crises and even faith crisis among us. Are the increasing natural disasters echoing the 20xx prediction by Maya? Is our future really so vulnerable and tentative? I am trying to probe the answer.

　　Last November, as a volunteer of the Global Sustainable Leaders Forum, I first came across the concept of social entrepreneurship. In the inspiring speeches, I saw the determination and faith of converting ideal into practice. I couldn’t help asking myself: what should I live for?

　　The great thinker Russell once put in his essay: Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.

　　By launching donation campaigns and bearing social responsibility, Bill Gates reshaped the stereotyped faith of businessmen.

　　Then, how can I make a difference? A talk with my father gave me some inspiration.

　　My father is a superfan of traditional Chinese calligraphy. When I was a kid, I had the faintest idea why I should practise routinely this form of art. It was terribly boring. But Dad said seriously: As a Chinese, we need to pass down and promote our rich culture. It is our responsibility.

　　Yang Lan, a well-known TV host once said: As a media worker, I want to track down the passage of time and history by conducting interviews. For me, the responsibility outweighs the occupation itself.

　　Far back to Confucius, who was once obscure and humble, undertook the seemingly hopeless task of building a harmonious society. But with his strong faith, hemade a change by spreading the seeds of wisdom.

　　The story about three craftsmen further illustrates the power of faith. When asked about their work, one said: I'm piling up the bricks. Another replied: I'm building the wall. The third responded: I'm designing a home for people. These three replies mirrored distinct insights toward work: Task, job, and undertaking.

　　In my university, students majoring in National Defence choose to devote their golden years to safeguarding our mother land. They have interpreted faith with their own dynamic youth.

　　My friends, musicians can not simply provide us with lyrical notes, but create melody to sooth our soul; Scientists can not merely invent machines, but utilize their wisdom to reshape our lifestyle; teachers can not just impart knowledge, but usher us to become a worthy person!

　　So, my dear friends, life without faith is just like music without melody, and world without color. We are who we choose to be. It is faith that’ll remove our fear about future and stretch the radius of our life. Let faith light up all our young dreams.

　　Thank you!

　　Dear friends,Today, I want to talk to you about the power of faith. Faith is a powerful force that can transform our lives and bring us closer to our goals and aspirations.

　　First of all, let me explain what faith is. Faith is a belief in something with no evidence or proof. It is a feeling or a sense of trust that we have in something, whether it is in ourselves, our loved ones, or our beliefs. Faith can bring us comfort and peace, and it can also help us overcome challenges and obstacles.

　　Now, let me share with you some examples of the power of faith. One of the most famous people who has demonstrated the power of faith is Jesus Christ. Jesus walked the earth as a man of faith, and his teachings and actions speak volumes about the power of faith. For example, when Jesus was being arrested and taken to prison, he did not resist or pray for his own safety. Instead, he allowed himself to be arrested and then went to prison with his own hands. Despite this, he continued to teach and heal people, demonstrating the power of faith.

　　Another example of the power of faith is a person named Martin Luther King Jr. Luther King Jr. was a leader in the civil rights movement and was known for his strong faith. He believed in the power of God to transform people's lives, and he used his faith to fight for the rights of African Americans and other marginalized groups.

　　In conclusion, faith is a powerful force that can transform our lives and bring us closer to our goals and aspirations. It is a feeling or a sense of trust that we have in something, whether it is in ourselves, our loved ones, or our beliefs. By following the example of Jesus Christ and Martin Luther King Jr., we can all demonstrate the power of faith and use it to make a positive impact in our lives and the lives of those around us. Thank you.

　　Friendship

　　友誼

　　Every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. My friends will listen to me when I want to speak, will wipe my eyes when I cry, will take care of me when I am sick, and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.

　　我們每個人,不論富裕還是貧窮,至少應(yīng)該有一個或兩個好朋友。我的朋友會聽我說,如果我想說話,要擦去我的眼睛當(dāng)我哭泣,會照顧我在我生病時,我的朋友將與我一起肩并肩在這人生旅程。

　　Friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives. It is actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the sweeter it will be. It is also like a cup of tea. When we are thirsty, it will be our best choice, but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves, it is also the most fragrant drink.

　　友誼是一種財寶在我們的生活。它實際上是像一瓶酒,越久保留,這將是更香甜。它就像一杯茶。當(dāng)我們口渴時,這將是對我們最好的選擇,但當(dāng)我們有足夠的時間去玩得很開心的,它也是最芬芳的飲料。

　　All of us have to spare some time for personal lives. We have to find the chance to express our emotion and love. When staying with our friends, we can release ourselves completely. We can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry to-gether. I should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives.

　　我們所有的人都要花點時間來個人的生活。我們必須找到機會來表達我們的感情和愛。當(dāng)住在我們的朋友,我們可以放松自己完全。我們可以做任何我們想要的,我們能一起大聲笑,一起交談,甚至哭泣下。我應(yīng)該說,是我們最好的朋友一起是最精彩的時刻,我們的生活。

　　As we know, we would feel lonely if we didn't even have a friend. But it doesn't mean we could depend on our friends all the time. There is a famous motto saying that “A friend is like a quilt with cotton wadding, but the real thing that keeps you warm is your own temperature.” It is really true. We have to work hard together with our friends, encourage each other and help each other. When we receive love and friendship, we should repay as much as we can.

　　正如我們所知道的,我們會感到寂寞,如果我們還沒有一個朋友。但這并不意味著我們可以依靠我們的朋友。有個著名的格言說:“一個朋友就像一個棉花棉絲被子,但真正的東西,是使你暖和是你自己的溫度。“這是真的。我們必須努力同我們的朋友,互相激勵,互相幫助。當(dāng)我們能收到更多的愛與友誼,我們應(yīng)該償還高達就可以了。

　　Finally, let's pray together now that one day, all of us could find the person we want to find, and could enjoy a real beautiful friendship in our lives. Let's pray the flower of friendship be-tween our friends and us would always bloom brightly in our hearts

　　最后,讓我們一起祈禱了,有一天,我們都能找到我們想找的人,就可以享受一段美好友誼的真正左右我們的生活了。讓我們一起祈禱友誼之花卻成為我們的朋友,我們將永遠綻放鮮艷的在我們的心中

　　These were the men of the whaleship Essex, whose story would later inspire parts of “Moby Dick.”

　　Even in today's world, their situation would be really dire, but think about how much worse it would have been then.

　　No one on land had any idea that anything had gone wrong. No search party was coming to look for these men. So most of us have never experienced a situation as frightening as the one in which these sailors found themselves, but we all know what it's like to be afraid.

　　We know how fear feels, but I'm not sure we spend enough time thinking about what our fears mean.

　　As we grow up, we're often encouraged to think of fear as a weakness, just another childish thing to discard like baby teeth or roller skates.

　　And I think it's no accident that we think this way. Neuroscientists have actually shown that human beings are hard'wired to be optimists.

　　So maybe that's why we think of fear, sometimes, as a danger in and of itself. “Don't worry,” we like to say to one another. “Don't panic.” In English, fear is something we conquer. It's something we fight.

　　It is undeniable that the worsening environment has bee the biggest concernof the present-day world。Land resources are dwindling because of water loss andsoil erosion。Waste gases poison the air we breathe。The rivers and lakes arepolluted by waste dumped in them from factories。It is probably no exaggerationto say that deterioration of the quality of the environment threatens theexistence of mankind itself。

　　Some people are of the opinion that the environmental problem is the pricewe have to pay for economic development。But I do not think that this argument isvalid。After all， what is the point of economic growth if people’s lives areadversely alfected by worsening environmental pollution?

　　There is plenty of evidence to show that sustainable development can beachieved by balancing economic growth with protection of the environment。The keyto achieving this is to make people aware of the seriousness of the problem。Bothgovernments and ordinary citizens should join hands to make this world a betterplace to live in， not only for ourselves， but also for future generations。

　　When I was a child, I was always dreaming of what I could become when Igrew up. Become a singer? Become a painter? Become an actor? These are someglamorous professions, and what I want to be the most is an inventor.

　　Although the inventor is a behind-the-scenes worker, he can make a greatcontribution to human development. It can make people's lives less tired andmake people happier every day.

　　If I were an inventor, I would invent many things that would be convenientfor people to live on. Start with people's housing starts! If I were aninventor, I would invent a very advanced door. The shape of this door is notdifferent from the ordinary one, but it has many functions. First of all, whenthe noise coming from the corridor, the door can be according to the master'svoice as he opened the door ahead of time, when the owner came to the door itsay: "master, welcome home!" Then the door closes. The advantage of this designis that the owners no longer have to go out with keys. Second, if there is a badguy to destroy the door, the door have a security alarm system, can let theneighbors know there is a thief, the thief will soon be away. And the door willalso send the information to the owner's mobile phone for the first time,telling the host that there is a bad guy and need to deal with it as soon aspossible. Finally, the door has the function of weather forecasting. At seven o'clock in the morning, it will report on time and report the weather and thesituation of the day. If the weather forecast says it's going to rain, the doorwill offer an umbrella before its owner goes out, and if it's a big summer itwill also offer a sunblock and sunscreen. The invention guarantees home safety,improves living standards and makes people's lives more comfortable.

　　If I were an inventor, I wanted to invent a medicine that would delaypeople's life slightly. Because I know that it is impossible to live forever,and if you can live forever, there will be more and more people in the world. Aslight delay is the ability to make a person's life a little longer. Theinvention is mainly used for the immediate death of the hospital, but to thepeople who want to see the last of their loved ones. Or people who are in a caraccident or other sudden death. Because of this invention, they can be able tosee the last part of their family, leaving them with the words they want to say,without regret.

　　If I were an inventor, I would invent an emotional robot. Scientists sayrobots are mechanical, unemotional and can't understand what people really need.And I'm going to invent this robot, which has its own personality, apart frombeing able to do the housework, the laundry, the cooking. Owners can chooserobots with different personalities.

　　There are gentle, considerate, or tyrants. The charm value of the robot canbe acquired by itself. At that time, the robot is more than just a machine, itcan be your family, your friends, more like your child. He's hungry and needsyou to feed him. When you are sad it will hug you, stand beside you and comfortyou and tell you jokes. When you're nervous, it encourages you and tells youit's ok. When you are happy, it will give you all kinds of celebrations,standing next to you and dancing, more than you are happy. But the baby robotalso dies, for example, when it dies of starvation, or parts that are too longand die. But you can rest assured that the life of the robot baby is usually ahundred years old, enough to accompany you forever.

　　If I am the inventor, I would also like to invent a lot of things tobenefit mankind, I'm not in order to let everyone thank me, let me earn a lot ofmoney, but in order to let people all over the world have a safe, happy, happy,carefree, so I am very satisfied. I would like to be an inventor. For thisdream, I must study hard and go to a good university in the future. I can getrid of the word "if" and realize my dream.

　　We students are the builders and masters of the country. It is important for us to know how to be a good student .As far as I think, there are many important traits, the traits like this:

　　Nowadays，Some students may have wrong ideas of what a good student is. they think a good student should study all the subjects well and listen to the teachers all the time, but actually these ones don't care about anything except study.

　　Firstly, we must have clear world values. We must knows what we should do and what we shouldn't do.

　　Secondly, a good students should learn as much as possible. So a good student always tries to learn from both text-books and other books. Besides reading, doing some sports and manual works. however, we can’t always study alone, sometimes you need a discussion, don’t forget to work hard with your friends, it will be great help to you.

　　Thirdly, a strong character and will-power are also need. Because we have troubles every day. How to face the difficulties in study and our lives is very important. A good student won't be afraid of difficulties, we'll always try our best, we will never give up.

　　In short, let us try our best to become a good student!

　　首先,我們必須有明確的世界價值觀。我們必須知道我們應(yīng)該做什么,我們不應(yīng)該做什么。

　　其次,一個好的學(xué)生應(yīng)該學(xué)習(xí)盡可能多。所以一個好學(xué)生總是試圖從教科書和其他書籍。除了閱讀,做一些運動和手工作品。然而,我們不能總是獨自學(xué)習(xí),有時候你需要一個討論,不要忘記努力工作和你的朋友,這將是很大的幫助。

　　I have a dream today

　　hello everyone!

　　I have a dream that one day every vally shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

　　Wow, what a dream it has been for Martin Luther King. But the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up, and sometimes I personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.

　　However, we meed dreams. They nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. They keep us going. Most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great. When we were little kids, we all dreamed of doing something big and splashy, something significant. Now what we need to do is to maintain them, refresh them and turn them into reality. However, the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how to translate these dreams into actions. Well, just start with concrete objectives and stick to it. Don’t let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong belief of future. Through our talents, through our wits, through our endurance and through our creativity, we will make it.

　　Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today.

　　Thank you!

　　I don't think so. printed books won't be abandoned in such a short time. I admit that new technology is developing fast.

　　Many advanced electronic products are gradually take the place of traditional tools. Just like in university, teachers like to use multimedia in class for it is quite convenient and efficient. However, for our student, it is not realistic to study completely by electronic products.

　　There are many things need to recorded on books. Books are something meaningful and practical. I should say, in our country, printed books wouldn't be abandoned within 20 years at least for two reasons.

　　Firstly, books are classical container of knowledge. They accompany human to advance. A student without books could be someway ridiculous.

　　Secondly, our country haven't developed so strong to make every student study by computer or other forms of electronic tools. And even after 20 years, the possibility is also very small.

　　I also think it is unnecessary because books are cheap but useful and still meaningful.
