youth

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

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 enthusia** 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 .

when the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynici** and the ice of pessimi**, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimi** , there is hope you may die young at 80.

thank you!

青春不代表岁月，而是心态。红润的脸蛋，红润的嘴唇，矫健的膝盖，都不是青春。青春表现在意志的坚强与懦弱。想象的丰富与苍白，情感的丰富与贫乏等。青春是生命深处清泉的喷涌。

青春是追求。只有勇气胜过怯懦，进取胜过安全，青春才会存在。果如此，则60见之长者比20岁之少年更具青春活力。

时间的流逝并不能使他们变老。一旦我们放弃理想和信念，我们就会变老。

岁月只能使**起皱。一旦失去了生命的激情，即使是灵魂也会枯萎变老，失生命如死水，毫无生气。

60岁长者也好，16岁少年也罢，每个人的内心深处都渴望奇迹，都如孩子一般眨着期待的双眼，期待着下一次，期待着生活的情趣，你我灵魂深处都有一座无线电中转站------只有你我年轻，则总能听到希望的呼唤，总能发出喜悦的欢呼，总能传达勇气的讯号，总能表现出青春的活力………

一旦青春的触角落下，你的灵魂就被玩世不恭的雪和悲观的冰所覆盖；即使你年方20.其实你已垂垂老也。而只要你青春的天线高高耸起，就可以随时接收到乐观的电波-----即使你年过八旬，行将就木，而你却仍然拥有青春，你仍然年轻。

谢谢！the greatest invention

good evening everyone)(thank you for you patience)

the greatest invention in my eyes is the telephone, which is essential today in every house. and i believe that each person here own a lovely cell phone, including myself. what dose this phenomena mean?

needless to say, with only over 100-year’s development, telephone has already assumed a role as a family member. (“ played an important part in our daily life ”. ) amazing invention, isn’t it?

and now, let us have a view at the evolution: thousands of years ago, it was not possible or at least very hard for people far away from home having contact with their hometown, which means they could do nothing but to lose contact with their family; then, hundreds of years ago, people away from home could keep in touch with their family only by letters, which they needed to wait for weeks, months for a response; and now, attention, within seconds you can have a pleasant talk with a somebody thousands and thousands away! wonder, isn’t it?

now, please draw a picture in your mind: you only need to pick up your cell phone, to press the amazing numbers, to wait for several seconds and after she/he get the telephone, to make your voice fly through the air-sea in the form of radio, then a contact is being made as i am ****** the speech for you.

while, what i appreciate most is not the convenience the telephone offered, but the bridges it made which create contacts between you and your beloved parents, and your hometown thousands away. these bridges work as follows: when you are unhappy, bridge will be made to easy your broken heart by your lovely parents; when you are success, it will be made to share your enjoyment with your friends; when you are helpless, phone call will be made to strengthen your determination, also to give you encouragements.

through those bridges, can’t you find something?

probably, after the speech, i may phone my parents. thank you very much!

reading books

one of the most popular hobbies among people is reading books. more and more people spend their spare time in reading the books they are interested in.

there are so many books in the world that it is impossible for any one to read all of them, even if he spends his whole life in reading. before we start reading, we should find out whether it is valuable for us to read.

reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. it can enrich our knowledge. it makes us learn lots of things we did not previously know.

we can be aware of what had happened in the past as well as what is happening in the present time. the more books we read, the more knowledge we get. no matter how much education we receive or how much expensive we have, we can not be***e a full man unless we keep reading.

reading bad books will lead you to a wrong way and prevents you from progressing. it’s worse than reading nothing. so we know how important it is to read good books.

book can be read at random time if you have leisure, and there never be a time limitation. also, you can read a book to achieve a more really history. through a book, you can ***municate with its author without other’s tran**ission.

all these rarely can be easily achieved by a television.

furthermore, book is a treasure that has developed centuries. as we know when written language appeared, human beings became use it to record their lives, and this action leaves us a lot of historic precious mineral. we can absorb intelligence and wisdom, and we can also be taught lessons.

i love book from my heart, form book i know how to ***municate with others, and i learn my homeland is the place i love best, and also i know my parents are the very individuals who i love through my life. what about the television? television, sometimes, show violence, ***, drugs beyond our choice

classifying rubbish , improving environment

good morning, respectable judges, teachers. today, standing here makes me feel really honored and excited. the title of my speech is classifying rubbish , improving environment.

personally, rubbish has been a big headache in beijing. as

the year 2008 is ***ing ,every citizen has realized green beijing and green olympics will bring the far-reaching impact on beijing and even all china . the scense of rubbish nearly everywhere has given all of us a really bad impression, and i'm sure none of us wish to show off the bad side of beijing to athletes and journalists all over the world, for it would blemish the city's and even china's image and leave a bad reputation. so we really have to work hard on green olympics.

now, we are middle school students. we must improve the sense of protecting the environment and make a contribution to green olympics .

in our life, a lot of rubbish , such as waste *****, plastic bottles ,batteries and so on , is produced every day . after we learnt the passage make our environment more beautiful , we found a lot of rubbish thrown into dustbins could be recycled in fact during our discussion. so we thought it would be better if we could classify rubbish .

we told our idea to our teacher and he supported us very much . we became volunteers to classify rubbish . firstly we got three big boxes and put them in a corner of our classroom .

one is for waste ***** , one for plastics and coke cans and the other is for batteries . with teacher's help ,soon all the students took part in the activity of classifying rubbish .in a month , we collected three boxes of ***** , a box of batteries and a box of plastics and coke cans .

we sold them for 28 yuan and bought some young trees with the money . we planted the trees around our school . we were all spoken highly of by our school principals.

now we keep on the job and are all proud of improving environment .

the world trusts beijing .beijing still has a lot to do to reach the level the world expects, but we have the confidence to make beijing a green city. great changes are taking place, and not far in the future, beijing will be the focus of all worlds' attention.

we'll grasp the opportunity and do our best to make the sky blue

r, water greener and air fresher by the year 2008.

let's all wish the best for the 2008 olympics in beijing. thanks for your listening.

垃圾分类，改善环境

尊敬的评委、老师们，你们好！有幸站在这里，我感到是一种荣耀，我此时的心情非常激动。我演讲的主题是：垃圾分类，改善环境！

应该说，垃圾问题一直是我们的大问题。随着2008年的临近，每一个市民都深切地意识到"绿色北京，绿色奥运"对北京乃至中国将有着多么深远的影响！几乎到处都是垃圾的景象给我们留下了深刻的印象。

我相信没有一个中国人愿意把北京不好的印象留给来自世界各地的参赛队员和新闻记者，因为它会严重损坏北京乃至中国的形象和声誉。因此，我们必须致力于建设绿色奥运的目标。

我们现在是中学生。从现在起，我们必须提高环保意识，为2008年绿色奥运做出贡献。

在我们的生活中，每天都会产生很多垃圾，如废纸、塑料瓶、可乐罐、电池等等。 在我们学习 "美化环境"这篇课文时，我和几个同学在讨论时发现许多扔进垃圾桶里面的垃圾实际上是可以**的。所以我们想如果我们能把垃圾分类就好了。

我们把这个想法告诉了班主任，得到了老师的大力支持。所以我们成为了垃圾分类的志愿者。首先我们找到三个大盒子，把他们放在教室的一角。

一个用于废纸，一个用于塑料制品和可乐罐，一个用于收集旧电池。在老师的帮助下，全班同学很快就参加了垃圾分类活动。一个月内，我们收集了三盒废纸、一盒电池和一盒塑料瓶。

这些垃圾卖28元。我们用这些钱买了一些小树，在学校周围种上。我们的行动受到学校领导的高度赞扬。现在我们仍然坚持垃圾分类活动，我们为我们改善环境的努力感到骄傲！

世界认为，北京要实现世界对北京的期望，还有很多工作要做。但我们有信心把北京建设成绿色城市。现在北京的面貌正在改变。我相信在不久的将来，北京将成为世界的焦点。

我们将抓住这个机会，并为之努力。在2008年之前，我们将使北京的天空更蓝，水更绿，空气更清新！

让我们祝福北京和2008年北京奥运会！谢谢！

If I were a boy again, I would practice perseverance(毅力)more often, andnever give up a thing because it was hard or inconvenient. If we want light, wemust conquer darkness. Perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results.“There are only two creatures,” says a proverb, “who can surmount thepyramids—the eagle and the snail.”

If I were a boy again, I would school myself into a habit of attention; Iwould let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. I would remember thata good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once. The habit ofattention becomes part of our life, if we begin early enough. I often heargrown-up people say “I could not fix my attention on the lecture or book,although I wished to do so” , and the reason is, the habit was not formed inyouth.

If I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to thecultivation of the memory. I would strengthen that faculty by every possiblemeans, and on every possible occasion. It takes a little hard work at first toremember things accurately; but memory soon helps itself, and gives very littletrouble. It only needs early cultivation to become a power.

If I were a boy again, I would look on the cheerful side. Life is very muchlike a mirror: if you smile upon it, I smile back upon you; but if you frown andlook doubtful on it, you will get a similar look in return.

Inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner, but of all that comein contact with it. “who shuts love out ,in turn shall be shut out fromlove.”

Finally, instead of trying hard to be happy, as if that were the solepurpose of life, I would, if I were a boy again, I would still try harder tomake others happy.

A helping hand伸出援手

A man who lived in a block of apartments thought it was raining and put his head out the window to check. As he did so a glass eye fell into his hand.

He looked up to see where it came from in time to see a young woman looking down.

"Is this yours?" he asked.

She said, "Yes, could you bring it up?" and the man agreed.

On arrival she was profuse in her thanks and offered the man a drink. As she was very attractive he agreed. Shortly afterwards she said, "I'm about to have dinner. There's plenty. Would you like to join me?"

He readily accepted her offer and both enjoyed a lovely meal. As the evening was drawing to a close the lady said, "I've had a marvelous evening. Would you like to stay the night?"

The man hesitated then said, "Do you act like this with every man you meet?"

"No," she replied, "Only those who catch my eye."
