Good afternoon! Ladies and gentlemen!
I am very happy to have the opportunity to attend this Competition.
My topic today is “Never Say Sorry Again!”
Do you feel sorry for the animals that are killed by the millions every day? Do we really need to kill animals?
Let us now think of the reasons for using dead animals. People often use animals for food, make-up, medicine and especially for the clothes. Fur coats are definitely a luxury. Yes, they are warm but really they are mostly a symbol of wealth. Do you know how much a mink coat cost?
A report said in an open letter published recently, a Dutch animal-rights group has asked their much-loved Queen to stop wearing fur. The Group pointed out that making clothing from fur represents cruelty to animals. “ Fur belongs to animals, not to human beings.”
Nowadays a lot of greedy people hunt and kill wild animals and birds, so as to make money by selling their
hides at high prices. This kind of killing should be stopped and seriously punished. If we don't take actions to protect the wild animals and birds, they will soon disappear from the globe. Man will one day find himself a very lonely creature on earth indeed.
Until such a day, when we finally realized that we no longer have these friends or neighbors, what are we human beings going to say? Sorry? No, it is too late to say sorry to them.
Ladies and Gentlemen, please consider what I have said to you this afternoon. Think carefully on whether we really need to use animals for our pleasure if you have come to the conclusion that we are wrong. Then we should now change our attitude so that we never say sorry again to the animal population.
Cherish what we are enjoying
It is a report about the new planet which holds possibility for life.
It shows that European astronomers have discovered a new planet, they nameit Gliese 581 c.
It is about 20.5 light years from our earth. They estimated the planet'saverage temperature at between 0 and 40 degrees Centigrade. It is orbiting thered dwarf star, Gliese 581.
Most important of all, it’s an earth-like planet. There might be mountin,sea and liquid water.
So the astronomers believe that it is potentially habitable.
However, Gliese 581 c might be "tidally locked" to it’s sun-the dwarf starthe way our moon is to the Earth.
It means that it must always show its same face to its sun, and that whileone side would be too fiercely hot to support life, the other side would be toocold.
This report makes me to realize that how valuable our earth is.
Everyday, we can see sunrise and sunset.
The day and night keeps on exchanging. It’s not too hot in the daytimewhile not to cold at night.
Everyday, I go to school cheerfully in the morning and skip along at theway home as the sun set.
We could experience changes through the four seasons of one year.
Spring is the season sowing seeds. It is pregnant with life and green.
In the Summer, colorful swimming suits frolick in the water happily.
Autumn is the harvest season , the paddy fields and trees are covered withgolden color.
In the winter，We can have snow battle, playing to our hearts' content inthe world of silvery white.
How fortunate we are because we can live on the earth!
We should cherish it, instead of polluting it, spoiling it or evendestroying it.
If One day, it is really angry and stop rotation, that will have be adisaster for us human being.
So, let us protect our earth with our love, making it better and moreharmonious.
We are a normal member of the big family of nature good afternoon everybody. honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen. today，we are gathering here to discuss a very hot issue. how to find harmony in a new age between man and nature? where modern science and technology are concerned i am only a layman i have to say. however, living in this new age , seeing my dear ones suffering from respiratory diseases from time to time, finding the beautiful colors of green and blue are being replaced by that of gray and pale, and realizing that our mother planet is getting more and more unhealthy; i cant help trying to offer my idea and my trivial efforts to look for the answer of the question. as the ancient greek oracle goes: know thyself. i think in answering this above-mentioned question, this precondition is also very important. who are we? this is a question, which should be answered not only by those specialists, but also by every one of human beings. some people may proudly say: we are the masters of nature.
It is true that the idea of man can conquer nature has dominated peoples mind for years, and it is true, man has kept acting like a master and doing whatever things he wants for thousands of years. however, as the consequence of this kind of leadership , now the master seems to be confronted with problems that are far beyond his control. facts are really very ample. the green house effect leaves islands and cities along the coast, such as this oriental pearl-shanghai, in danger of the disaster of being drowned; the holes of the ozone layer make the earth less suitable to live for some creatures including human beings; the phenomena of el nino and la nina leave the land with serious flood and drought, and the diseases, caused by pollution, are increasing at an incredible speed... seeing all these facts, can we still ignore the counterattack of nature? we are not the masters of nature. facing all the disasters made by ourselves, we, mankind as a whole should realize that we are just a normal member of the big family of nature. any mistreatment towards nature will meet only with the revenge from her. by saying so, i do not mean we should give a sudden stop to any development. because that will result in a threat to the existence of human society. i mean we should treat nature
Equally, leaving the chance of existence and development to nature as we are obtaining the same thing, and thus we will get the situation of win-win. i am very pleased to find that now more and more people, from every corner of the planet, have come to realize that harmony with nature is the only way to universal and continuous progress and prosperity. and i think that is why we come here from all over the country to discuss this topic today. i want to end my speech by quoting from mr. nixon. our destiny offers, not the cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity. the future is not ours to see of course. however, by seizing firmly the opportunities, by knowing clearly about ourselves, we, human beings, can doubtlessly achieve the real harmony with nature! thank you very much.
The ideal teacher may be young or old, tall or short, fat or thin. He should kno them. The ideal teacher should have an understanding of his students and be able tp relate to them. HE needs students’ understanding, too. The ideal teacher should be kind, encouraging, and helpful and he should motivate his students to seek knowledge.

Teacher I want to say to you: "dear teacher, I thank you! I am verygrateful to you to accompany us through this turning point in life, toilluminate the road ahead of us."
It is human nature that all of us should be fond of beauty. Everybody was born with a heart for beauty.
Today in China,with the rising of our living standard, people's requirement of beauty has been heightened accordingly. Some people spare no money or energy on beautiful clothes, fashionable hair styles,the decoration of their houses and even the improvement of their looks. But it seems to me,all these are more or less confined to the beauty in appearance,or rather,the outward beauty.
In my opinion,we shouldn't only pay attention to beautiful appearance and neglect the beautification of the mind and what we are after should be the perfect unity of the outward beauty and the inner beauty. As we all know,so far as objects and animals are concerned,there is only beautiful appearance to be mentioned, but to us humanbeings, although the outward beauty really matters, the inner beauty is much more important. This was confirmed by a famous Russian writer in words much like this: "A person is not lovely for being beautiful but beautiful for being lovely. "
Here, I'd like to quote two typical instances and I'm sure, my dear friends,from them you'll find out what real beauty is.
Recently I learned from the radio an unpleasant incident about a well known singer. She is very charming with a sweet beautiful voice and very famous for singing the song."Devotion of Love". Not long ago,she was invited to Zhejiang Province to give performance. The momentshe was to appear on the stage,she suddenly asked for more reward. Worse still,after her request was satisfied, she didn't begin to sing at once. Instead,she took her time to count all the money piece by piece. Thus she kept the audience waiting for half an hour. So when she at last showed up and started to sing "Devotion of Love",a man rose up from his seat and shouted at her,"You don't have any devotion of love. You are not qualified to sing this song ! "Hearing this, the singer stopped singing and began to shout abuses with her finger pointed at the man. At this time the whole audience burst into an uproar.
How disappointed her keen listeners were when they learned this! It is the singer herself who spoiled her beautiful image in the eyes of others.
Now, I'm coming to another true story. It's about a poor, ordinary looking old woman. She was a widow without any children, living barely from hand to mouth by picking odds and ends from rubbish heaps. However,she took in more than ten homeless orphans successively and managed to bring them up. Every day she labored from morning till night. In order to earn as much money as possible to raise the children and to keep them in school,she even went to a hospital regularly to sell her blood. She got so weak for the loss of blood that she sometimes fell in a faint on her way home.
When asked why she chose to burden herself with so many children,she smiled and simply answered,"Oh,I love children and I like to have their company. "
Though the old woman was poor materially, she was full of affection and rich in spirit. She was loved dearly by her children. She was also highly appreciated by the local government, and truly respected by people in her community.
Maybe you can't help wondering, "What makes that ordinary woman so extraordinary?" It is nothing else but her inner beauty, her true devotion of love without any thought of rewarding. What a sharp contrast there is between the great woman and the selfish singer
So,to answer the question "What is real beauty?", I declare definitely,it is the beauty lying in one's heart of hearts and embodied in his actions and deeds,that is,the inner heauty!
good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
five score years ago, a great american, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the emancipation proclamation. this momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. it came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity.
but one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the negro is still not free. one hundred years later, the life of the negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. one hundred years later, the negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. one hundred years later, the negro is still languishing in the corners of american society and finds himself an exile in his own land. so we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition.
in a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. when the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the declaration of independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every american was to fall heir. this note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
it is obvious today that america has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. instead of honoring this sacred obligation, america has given the negro people a bad check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." but we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. we refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.
so we have come to cash this check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
we have also come to this hallowed spot to remind america of the fierce urgency of now. this is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of god's children. now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.
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 inance 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 gro men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
es from every detail in our life . financial problems , poor health , being laid off may be the stress that most adults noe other problems will also annoy us . i think we will worry a lot about our ability to compete in the job market and how we can best use what we’ve learned at college in our future job .
Atoms for Peace Members of the General Assembly: auto will remain steadfast in its support of this body.This we shall do in the conviction that you will provide a great share of the wisdom, of the courage, and the faith which can bring to this world lasting peace for all nations, and happiness and well-being for all men.VerdanaI therefore decided that this occasion warranted my saying to you some of the things that have been on the minds and hearts of my legislative and executive associates, and on mine, for a great many months -- thoughts I had originally planned to say primarily to the American people.Nevertheless, I assure you that in our deliberations on that lovely island we sought to invoke those same great concepts of universal peace and human dignity which are so cleanly etched in your Charter.Neither would it be a measure of this great opportunity merely to recite, however hopefully, pious platitudes.
We can not live without our motherland in the mind also can not live without the existence of the motherland. The motherland is all of our lives. This piece of land to grow in our motherland. The motherland is the cradle of our success. Imagine that we have now is not selfless giving of motherland. But also for peace and stability of the motherland, we happy life down. A country is, as it were, more respect for "mother".
In our life, enjoy the "mother" care too much. With the help of the countries, we came into the classroom, walked into the classroom, picked up a book, learn the valuable knowledge. With the help of the country, we enjoy the meticulous care of the parents, to healthy living and learning; With the help of the country, we enjoy the preferential treatment. Live in capacious and a few clean room. Communication with friends, family and society. And so on, all of which is unselfish dedication to our motherland. Like mother, although not directly experienced the "mother" of labor for us. But we can feel the rain like a mother"s love, warm our care, we feel. If without her, our life, growth, ideas, and so on will be "zero".
The motherland is the mother of national forever, patriotism is the eternal topic of history. China"s first great patriotic poet qu yuan, as chu ZuoTu, strong resistance to the qin dynasty, but the king listen to gossip, to dismiss his exile. In the process of exile, he kept still, will and write "in" li SAO ". Chu chi captured all, qu yuan, a 66 - year - old grief, with stone into the miluo river, to being dead. Also, when yuan soldiers attacked the southern song dynasty, song dynasty minister wen tianxiang rate soldiers resist, defeat captured and imprisoned in many yuan army generals to persuade him to surrender, or give the palm to official as bait, or to death threats, but wen tianxiang refused to yield. In prison, he wrote the song of guerrilla, sing the "everyone must die, and return steps according to historical records," the vital qi song, sing out his firmness unyielding will. They judged the yuan decided to kill him, before I was to die, wen tianxiang toward the south, and bowed down to the country and my people, and then calmly ability, at the age of 47 years. They went away, but their patriotism illumination century, forever.
Patriotism is a kind of noble emotion, is also a kind of sacred duty. Ba jin old man once said: "our country is not a paradise on earth, but every Chinese has the responsibility to put her into a paradise on earth." So, we should really be patriotic, we should start from the self, and start from in word and deed, take good care of public property, abide by social morality, observe public order, learning tasks, have filial piety and considerate parents at home, eager to help out a friend, and so on. From now on, everything we do has meaning are patriotic.
The motherland is the source of our life, is also the source of our wisdom and strength, the country gives us intelligence unreservedly dedicated to the motherland, worthwhile. We want to make the motherland with the attitude of a new giant stands in the east of the world, shows that she seeks the brilliance and glamour. Let"s say proudly: "we all belong to China, in the heart of our motherland."
参考翻译：
我们不能没有祖国我们的心里也不能没有祖国的存在。祖国是我们生活的一切。我们在祖国这片热土上成长生活着。祖国是我们成功的摇篮。试想一下，我们现在所拥有的不都是无私的祖国赠予的。也是因为祖国的和平稳定，我们才快乐地生活下来。可以说，祖国是更为尊重的‘母亲’。
在我们的一生中，享受了太多的‘母亲’的照顾。在国家的帮助下，我们走进了教室，走进课堂，拿起书本，学到了那宝贵的知识。在国家的帮助下，我们享受了父母的无微不至的呵护，从而得以健康地生活和学习;在国家的帮助下，我们享受到了优厚的待遇。居住在宽敞几净的房间里。与朋友，家人和社会交流。等等，所有的一切都是祖国无私的奉献给我们。就像妈妈一样，虽然不能直接体会到这个‘妈妈’为我们所做出的劳动。但是我们却能感受到那像母爱一样的滋润我们，温暖我们呵护，我们的感觉。如果没有她，我们的生命，成长，思想等等都会被归‘零’。
祖国是民族永远的母亲，爱国是历史永恒的话题。我国第一位伟大的爱国诗人屈原，担任楚国左徒，主张抵抗强秦，但楚王听信谗言，将他罢职流放。在被流放的过程中，他一直忧国忧民，写《离骚》以言志。秦兵攻下了楚都，66岁的屈原悲愤交加，怀石投入汨罗江中，以死殉国。还有，当元兵大举进攻南宋时，南宋大臣文天祥率兵抵抗，兵败被俘，被囚禁中，许多元兵将领劝他投降，或以高官厚禄为诱饵，或以死刑相威胁，但文天祥拒不屈从。在狱中，他写了《正气歌》，唱出了“人生自古谁无死，留取丹心照汗青”的正气之歌，唱出了他坚贞不屈的意志。元人决定杀死他，临刑前，文天祥面向南方，跪拜了祖国和人民，然后从容就义，时年47岁。他们虽然走了，但他们的爱国主义精神却光照千秋，永世长存。
爱国是一种高尚的感情，也是一种神圣的职责。巴金老先生曾说过：“我们的祖国并不是人间乐园，但是每一个中国人都有责任把她建设成人间乐园。”所以，我们大家要真正的做到爱国，就要从自我做起，从一言一行做起，爱护公共财物，遵守社会公德，遵守公共秩序，认真学习完成学习任务，在家有孝敬体贴父母，在外热心帮助朋友等等。从现在开始，我们所做的`一切有意义的事都是爱国的表现。
祖国是我们生命的源泉，也是我们智慧和力量的源泉，把祖国赋予我们的聪明才智毫无保留地奉献给祖国，才有价值。我们要让祖国真正以一个崭新的巨人的姿态屹立在世界的东方，显示出她无比牟光彩和魅力。让我们自豪地说：“我们的一切属于中国，祖国在我们的心中。”

I still remember the Titanic,though it's a big ship but it still sunk,so ,in my opinion ,the best ship is the friendship.
Everyone needs friends because there are a lot of things that you can't deal with yourself,and the friends just make up for it.
Friendship just likes the sun ,it can make you fell warm though in the cold winter,friendship just likes the water in the desert ,it can make you fell that in the world ,there still has hope .in a word ,the friendship is the same meaning as the greatness ,selfless and devotion.
To make friends ,adding a friend equals adding a way ,open your heart ,devote yourself,let friendship make your world colourful.
中文意思：还记得Titanic吗？虽然这是一个很大的船，但它仍然沉没，所以，在我看来，最好的船是友谊。
每个人都需要朋友，因为有很多事情你不能处理，和朋友只是弥补。
友谊就像太阳，它可以让你感觉暖和，虽然在寒冷的冬天，友谊只是喜欢在沙漠中的水，它可以让你觉得世界，那里仍然有希望。一句话，友谊是相同的含义的伟大，无私奉献。
交朋友，增加一个朋友等于增加一种方式，敞开你的心扉，奉献自己，让友谊使你的世界丰富多彩。
