Good evening ladies and gentlemen, it is really my honor to sand here and my topic is Chinese Dream. As is known to all, recently Chinese Dream has become a hot topic around our country which is inspired by President Xi ’s Chinese Dream, everyone talked enthusiastically about his understanding of the Chinese Dream. We all believe that this dream will come true in the future.
As a contemporary college student, Chinese dream is a word too big to understanding. As for my own dream, I have always wanted to be a teacher. Not only because teachers can help students know more about the world, but also because they are doing a respectable job. Teachers can also help people to live a better life with their professional knowledge.
Our new president said: the Chinese dream is a dream of national strength prosperity and people's happiness. He also expounded his views of realizing our great dream. I always ask myself what I can do for our great Chinese dream. As we all know that the wiser the youths are, the stronger the nation will be. I just want to say I am very tiny but I am indispensable. I believe that as long as all of our university students unite together and perform our own functions and study hard in school and work hard after we graduating from university. We must be able to achieve our great dream, and meanwhile do something for our country.
Forty years ago, when Mr. Martin Luther King fell down, his words “I have a dream” spread across the world. But, you must know that there is not just an English version of it. In the distant East, in the China that has held on for thousands of years, there is also a dream. It belongs to every ordinary Chinese. It is “I have a dream” written in Chinese.
Dear teacher,classmates：
Good morning everyone！
Everyone wants success. But what is success? Generally, people think success is a great deal of money, high position, academic achievement, and so on. However, most of these people never really define what success means to them. In my opinion, success is a feeling, which makes you happy and content.
Success is a feeling, that means success is not considered as big or small, high or low. It is just a good mood from your heart. Maybe passing a final test is a success for a student, learning to walk is a success for a little child, marrying a beautiful girl is a success for a lad, signing a contract is a success for a company. Success varies from individual to group.
Success is a feeling, that means success is changing since your childhood. While you were a little child, you thought it was a success that your parents finally bought you lovely toys after you begged again and again. Success is the feeling you had when you were told that you won the contest. After graduation, you started working. You were successful when you finished a complicated task very well and you were praised. When married, maybe a happy marriage and a happy family meant success for you. When your child grew up, you hoped he or she attend a famous university or go abroad to study or work, at that time you considered that was your success. When you were old enough and couldn’t work at all, success was a feeling that your children and grandchildren came to see you from a long distance. Actually, success always accompanied you in your growth.
However, we have to admit that you can’t be successful all the time. We always meet many difficulties on the way to success. The more difficult it is, the much happier we are when we succeed.
To be successful, we should have a clear aim and then try our best to reach it. Wherever you go, whatever you are, your success belongs to yourself. It is a good feeling that you love it very much, and it really can make you laugh from the heart.
water, sky, ground, sea, rivers and lakes are. for water conservation, the students always feel as section

chairman, distinguished members of the teachers, dear colleagues:
hello, everyone.
today i share with you the topic is: corporate social responsibility.
corporate social responsibility ( c
orporatesocialresponsibility, csr) refers to the enterprises to create profits for shareholders, bear legal responsibility at the same time, also undertake to employees, customers, community and environmental responsibility. corporate social responsibility requires the enterprises to go beyond the profit as the only goal of the traditional philosophy, emphasis on the production process of the value of human attention, emphasis on consumer, environmental, contribution to society.
remember that we have just moved into the building, regardless of the weekend, or at 10: 00 to the company, you will find our this building always lights, as bright as day. i think at that time, the premier for his annual unit gdp energy consumption reduced by 4% goals; and our late night nobody when lighted, why can't we do some contribution for the premier goal?
i think back and forth to oneself, toss and turn restlessly, then president gao ruibin wrote an email, attached the photo, suggested, we should find better energy-saving measures to reduce energy consumption for countries to make our contribution. high total in his busy schedule to see my messages, promptly forwarded to an associated organization and colleagues.
we think, in which after what has changed?
so long, i see every night 9: 00, 10: 00, in our building will be the property of staff to inspect each floor, power off.
to this year july 10th, our office at 7 : 30 after lighting will be automatically closed. see the satisfactory change, i gave a high total wrote an email, attached 2 photos, one is at 11 : 00 then we motorola mansion; it shows our lighting power supply have been almost completely closed, with the last picture really is my not. another photo of our neighbors, a canadian company's mansion; displayed above their lighting like we were building a year ago that way, as clear as daylight ... ...
high total gave me the reply that the name is corporatesocialresponsibility csr, corporate social respons
ibility, not just the company, as well as each employee 's responsibility. only we work together, we will continue to uphold the company of equality, open, inclusive, innovative spirit, innovation in science and technology continue to forge ahead on the road; our society will be more harmonious.
so what i am going to do, is to nortel ceo write, tell them to the attention of section pass reduction. in the hope that this time next year, in this place, to report my progress.
thank you!
when i was young,i always dreamed that i lived in a beautiful country. there were many flowers and trees around our city.we counld hear the birds singing and see the children dancing. the streets were clear and the the air was very fresh! how nice it was!but that only was a dream of mine!how i wish that it would be come true! so i think we should do something to protect our environment. everyone should make a contribution to protect the environment.
taking care of our environment is very important.wherever you live,you can do something around your neighbourhood.
have you ever thrown any litter onto the ground?have you ever drawn pictures on public walls?have you ever spat in a public place?have you ever cut down trees?if your answers are "no",it means that you have already helped protect our environment.
it is our duty to keep our envionment clean and tidy. you might ask yourself,"have i ever picked up some rubbish and thrown it into a dustbin?have i ever collected waste paper or bottles for recycling?have i ever planted any trees or flowers in or near my neighbourhood?"if your answers are"yes",it means that you have already done something useful to improve the environment.
now i want to say :let`s do our best to make our world more beautiful!
you will live every single day of your life with absolute passion, and you will show your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take.
you will focus all your time and effort on the most important goals of your life. you will never succumb to challenges of hardships.
you will never waver in your pursuit of excellence. after all,you are the best, and you deserve the best!
as your coach and friend, i can assure you the door to all the best things in the world will open to you, but the key to that door is in your hand. you must do your part, you must faithfully follow the plans you make and take the actions you plan, you must never quit, you must never fear. i know you must do it, you can do it, you will do it, and you will succeed!
now stand firm and tall, make a fist, get excited, and yell it out:
i must do it! i can do it! i will do it! i will succeed!
Wherever you are,and whoever you may be, there is one thing in which you and I are just alike, at this moment, and in all the moments of our existence. We are not at rest; we are on a journey. Our life is not a mere fact; it is a movement, a tendency, a steady, ceaseless progress towards an unseen goal. We are gaining something, or losing something, every day. Even when our position and our character seem to remain precisely the same, they are changing. For the mere advance of time is a change. It is not the same thing to have a bare field in January and in July. The season makes the difference. The limitations that are childlike in the child are childish in the man.
无论你现在身处何方,也无论你是何等人物，此时此刻，以及我们生命中的任一瞬间，你我之间都有一点相同之处。那就是，我们并未停歇，而仍在旅途。我们的人生并不仅仅是一种存在的事实,而是一种运动，一种趋势，一种坚定不移而没有停息地朝向某个看不见的目标前行的过程。每一天，我们都有所得,也有所失。即使我们的地位和品性看似与原来无异，但实际上它们正在改变，因为时间的推移本身就是一种改变。同一片荒野，在一月和七月是不同的，季节造成了这种差异。智能上的不足，在孩子身上被视为天真无邪，而对于成人来说则是一种幼稚的表现。
Everything that we do is a step in one direction or another. Even the failure to do something is in itself a deed. It sets us forward or backward. The action of the negative pole of a magnetic needle is just as real as the action of the positive pole. To decline is to accept the other alternative.
我们所做的每件事都是朝着某一个方向迈出的一步。甚至无为，其本身也是一种作为，它使我们前进或后退。一根磁针的磁极作用，无论正负都是一样的真实。拒绝也是一种接受，只不过是另外一种选择罢了。
Are you richer today than you were yesterday? No? Then you are a little poorer. Are you better today than you were yesterday? No? Then you are a little worse. Are you nearer to your port today than you were yesterday? Yes, you must be a little nearer to some port or other; for since your ship was first launched upon the sea of life you have never been still for a single moment; the sea is too deep, you could not find an anchorage if you would; there can be no pause until you come into port.
你今天比昨天富有吗？没有，那说明你变穷了点。你今天比昨天过得好吗？没有，那么你的情况变糟了一点。你今天比昨天更接近你的港口了吗？是的，那么你一定距某个港口更近了。因为，自从你驶入人生之海，你的航船至今尚未停歇片刻。这片海洋太深了，纵使你想找到一个抛锚停泊之处也难以求得。因此，在驶入港口之前，你无法稍作歇息。
five thousand years of glorious civilization, the chinese, the four major inventions in the world bright with china. descendants are all proud of our nation, proud.
we are proud, because china has a long history and splendid culture. five thousand years of glorious history of the chinese nation, settling the essence of eastern and western civilizations, revealing the dawn of human science, the history of civilization in the world with the enduring charm. four great inventions change the face of humanity as a whole, "book of songs" to create a realistic world literature precedent, the romantic poetry of qu yuan to bring the extraordinary imagination of mankind, the prose of qin and han, tang, song, yuan, ming and qing fiction, confucius and mencius doctrine as well as "the art of war", etc., all demonstrate the ancestors of the chinese nation rich emotion and wisdom.
we are proud that vast land of china. nature millions of years, sculpture, constitute a colorful picture, pentium nurtured
generations of descendants of the yellow river, the yangtze river each new year surging surging waves of wisdom, standing proudly on top of everest in the world peak of the chinese nation the symbol of unyielding character, and many countlerivers and lakes, mountains, okawa, cultural landscape, this is not the pride of all chinese people and proud?
however, history does not glow bright sun every day, china had been brilliant, has a catastrophe ordeal. but also created the chinese nation, we are proud of the great indomitable character, casting a strong backbone of china. over the past 50 years, numerous
miracles again in this wonderful land of birth. rapid economic
development, science and technology fruits. bombs and one satellite has heaven, a seat like a rainbow bridge acrothe yangtze river. three gorges project, the qinghai-tibet railway, hong kong and macao's return, china's accession to wto; test new varieties of hybrid rice succeof the world's agricultural science and technology research to fill gaps in the field, all these all reflect the great vitality and cohesion of china, fully demonstrating its great and brilliant

Dear teacher, dear classmates：
Good morning !
Someone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. I don't know who wrote these words, but I've always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be. We are all in the position of the farmers. If we plant a good seed ,we reap a good harvest. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.
We are young. “How to spend the youth?” It is a meaningful question. To answer it, first I have to ask “what do you understand by the word youth?” Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind. It's not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees. It's the matter of the will. It's the freshness of the deep spring of life.
A poet said “To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. Several days ago, I had a chance to listen to a lecture. I learnt a lot there. I'd like to share it with all of you. Let's show our right palms. We can see three lines that show how our love.career and life is. I have a short line of life. What about yours? I wondered whether we could see our future in this way. Well, let's make a fist. Where is our future? Where is our love, career, and life? Tell me.Yeah, it is in our hands. It is held in ourselves.
We all want the future to be better than the past. But the future can go better itself. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened. From the past, we've learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher. We've learnt that we can't choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it. Failure doesn't mean you don't have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way. Failure doesn't mean you should give up, it does mean you must try harder.
As what I said at the beginning, “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. The past has gone. Nothing we do will change it. But the future is in front of us. Believe that what we give to the world, the world will give to us. And from today on, let's be the owners of ourselves, and speak out “We are the world, we are the future.”
As you slowly open your eyes, look around, notice(注意) where the light comes into your room; listen carefully(仔细的，小心的。谨慎的), see if there are new sounds you can recognize(认识。认出，辨认); feel with your body and spirit, and see if you can sense the freshness(新鲜的) in the air.(bfanwen.com)

You can feel your face is getting red, your heart is beating fast, and your blood is rushing(冲，奔涌) all over your body, to every single(单一的，个别的) corner(角落，转折点) of your being!
You know all this is real as long as you are confident(确定的，肯定的，有信心的), passionate (热情的，感情强烈的，激昂的)and committed!(效忠的) And you are confident, you are passionate, you are committed!
You will no longer fear making new sounds, showing new facial(面部的，面部用的，美容用的)expressions(表达，陈述，体现，表情), using your body in new ways, approaching new people, and asking new questions.

You will never waver(动摇) in your pursuit(追赶，追逐，追求) of excellence(优秀，杰出，卓越). After all, you are the best, and you deserve
the best!
As your coach(私人教练，指导教师) and friend, I can assure(使确信，使放心，向。。。保证) you the door to all the best things in the world will open to you, but the key to that door is in your hand. You must do your part(部分，本分，职责). You must faithfully(忠诚的) follow the plans you make and take the actions you plan; you must never quit(离开，退出，停止，放弃) and you must never fear.

tall, make a fist, get excited, and yell it out:
I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed!
I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed!
I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed!
The greatest results in life are usually attained by simple means, and the exercise of ordinary qualities. The common life of every day, affords ample opportunities for acquiring experience of the best kind.
人生最大的收获往往是通过最简单的方法或对常识的准确应用而获得的。每一个平凡的日子都会为我们提供许多机会，并使我们的阅历有所增强。
Fortune has often been blamed for her blindness. Those who look into practical life will find that fortune is usually on the side of the industrious, as the winds and waves are on the side of the best navigators. In the pursuit of even the highest branches of human inquiry, the commoner qualities are found the most useful,such as common sense, attention, application, and perseverance.
人们常常认为：机会是可遇而不可求的。而那些懂得细心观察生活的人往往会发现：机会总是更偏向于勤勉的人，正如海风与波浪经常会与航海家做伴一样。哪怕是在对人类事业的最高追求上，实践也是最有效的途径之一。当然，顽强的毅力也是必不可少的。
Genius may not be necessary, though even genius of the highest sort does not disdain the use of these ordinary qualities. The very greatest men have been among the least believers in the power of genius, and as worldly wise and persevering as successful men of the commoner sort. Some have even defined genius to be only common sense intensified. A distinguished teacher and president of a college spoke of it as the power of making ef forts. John Foster held it to be the power of lighting one's own fire.
天赋并不是获取成功的制胜法宝，即便是天才也同样会意识到常识的重要性。事实上，一些伟大人物往往是那些最不相信天赋的人。真正的智者和成功人士也并非在哪一方面特别出众，甚至他们曾被认为是缺少天赋的人。没错，他们之所以能够获得成功正是凭借着扎实的基本功，对基本常识的强化训练。一位校长兼优秀教师曾说过，他的成功源自不懈的努力。约翰?福斯特则把这种力量称之为“点燃生活的火焰”。
Newton's was unquestionably a mind of the very highest order, and yet, when asked by what means he had worked out his extraordinary discoveries, he modestly answered, "By always thinking unto them." At another time he thus expressed his method of study: "I keep the subject continually before me, and wait till the first dawnings open slowly by little and little into a full and clear light." It was in Newton's case, as in every other,only by diligent application and perseverance that his great reputation was achieved.
无可争议，牛顿的头脑是最高才智的头脑，但当我们问及他是通过什么方法取得了如此重大的发现时，他非常谦虚地答道：“全靠对那些问题不断地深思。”另一次，他这样表述他的研究方法：“我从未停止探索的脚步，当我看到第一缕曙光后，坚定的信念支持着我最终看到了清晰的世界。”正是通过勤奋和实践，牛顿才最终获得了不朽的名誉和伟大的成就。
Dalton,the chemist,repudiated the notion of his being "a genius," attributing everything which he had accomplished to simple industry and accumulation. John Hunter said of himself, "My mind is like a beehives; but full as it is of buzz and apparent confusion, it is yet full of order and regularity, and food collected with incessant industry from the choiceset stores of nature. "
英国化学家道尔顿对世人称他为“天才”的做法进行了批判。他认为自己之所以能获得成功完全凭借自身的不懈努力和对知识的不断积累。约翰?亨特也曾说过：“我的思想如同一个蜂箱，常常嗡嗡作响，甚至还会出现混乱，但通过不懈的努力，嗡嗡声已经消失了，蜜蜂们也都恢复了正常的秩序，而且还学会了如何从大自然的宝库中寻找食物。”
We have, indeed, but to glance at the biographies of great men to find that the most distinguished inventors, artists, thinkers, and workers of all kinds, owe their success, in a great measure, to their indefatigable industry and application.
我们同样可以在诸多人物传记中看到：大多数杰出人物，无论是发明家、艺术家、思想家、工人，还是社会各界人士，都无一例外地将自己的成就归功于勤奋和实践。
