“Globalization is a conspiracy.” my South African friend, Nuhu, once told me. I was in a shock while he explained, “It’s a game that we’re forced to play by the rules set by the superior westerners.” And by learning about the drive of the original globalization, the primitive accumulation of capital, I’m convinced that enough is enough. The unequal, violent exchange should have been enough since a long time ago.
However, what we do see today is that China has risen up by selling our products around the globe and learning advanced technology from others. And Africa is also believed to be the next China, another economic hub in the near future. So, although this might be an unfair game to play like what Nuhu claims, what he fails to see is that globalization is the very ladder for nations, especially those at the bottom of the global hierarchy to climb up. This win-win globalization is not enough. We can have more of it.
But what is the backlash? We have been fearing that the tide of globalization, the outpouring of western values will undermine our own. So when the global stage is not hearing a lot from the Chinese culture and not to mention the African culture, I guess Nuhu is onto something. The globalization that amplifies some cultures while extinguishing the others should have been enough since the very beginning.
And yet that’s not the whole picture. We see that our traditional works like Sun Tzu’s Art of War being worshiped by businessmen around the globe makes us start to relook at it and appreciate it again. And the Nobel Prize awarding for Moyan’s literature leads us to reflect on the development of our villages. So in the past, only we, Chinese people protect and pass on Chinese culture; but now, the international scholars, professors or even just ordinary people all over the world who get interested in our culture are preserving it. The uniqueness not well-protected by us transforms into the diversity universally-respected by global citizens. It is because of globalization that China and its culture are truly on a global stage.
So globalization is actually an on-going process that keeps surprising us while startling those worries and fears. It’s a dynamic system that we should look for ways to utilize and enhance.
But with the Brexit and the success of Trumpism, it seems major countries are all shifting away from globalization. But just because they are slowing down, making turns and adjusting themselves instead of peddling up, it doesn’t mean they are going for anti-globalization.
We are at an unprecedented point where the world becomes ever so connected that we need to figure out the boundaries and balance between censorship and openness; sameness and differences; patriotism and global citizenship. It’s the best time that every nation should seek for a better role to play in the globalization where we should continue to make improvements on.
It’s very understandable for nations to panic and make changes but we should never quit for it’s clear to us all that globalization is the only way that we seek for co-prosperity.
Globalization is not a conspiracy planned already, but a beautifully unfinished song to be written by us all.
Enough is SO NOT enough.
my dear teachers,fellow students and friends:
good afternoon.
as we all know, the earth is a planet almost covered by water,and it is water made every thing on the earth lively.water is also one of the important part of our environment.though,is there really so much water for us to clean,to produce many things,to play with? how much water are there on the earth then?
most of the water is in the oceans or locked away as ice.the largest volumes of fresh water are stored underground as groundwater,imagine there is only one barrel of water in the world,then there is only a spoon of it on the land,and the water we can use is only a drop of it.now i have to remind all of you here that the single drop of water is never as clean as before,it has been polluted severely by our human beings.
there is a very beautiful river in paris.it is the seine,it runs across the city,people drink coffee, chat on the bank in the day,at night,they enjoy the beautiful scenery in the boat,songs from the river fly into the sky made the river more attractive, the seine is a famous symbol of france;on the west coast of pacific ocean there lies the modern city shanghai,another river which used to be a very important transportation route runs through the center of the city,people respected and regard it as"mother".it is the"suzhou river,but l believe that few of you would sit beside it,people will be scattered by the terrible smell of water when walk by.i have to say it is extremely dirty! and we all know that a lot of beautiful rivers in the world also are sharing the same fate with suzhou river. who is the devil? i can't help asking.
many human activities and their by-products have the potential to pollute water. please have a look along the banks of the river, large and small industrial enterprises discharge dirty
water, tons of garbage were thrown into the river, the water contained so much that it can't clean itself. compared with the dramatic development in many sides of shanghai, the suzhou river has become a black point of the appearance of city.
fortunately, the government has control the situation now, we are happy to see some parts of the river has become clean again, and we even can find fish sometime.
the unique earth is the only planet full of lives, the water is just like the blood in the active body, protecting water is saving ourselves. not to waste a single drop of water, otherwise, the only drop of water we could keep in the future would be our tear!
my dear friends, mankind still faces a great difficulty in solving the problems of the environment and development, and there is a grand task to perform and along way to go. the middle school students in china will always cooperate with the young people of the world to protect the environment.
the future is ours to build!
thanks for listening.
to me march 28th was a lucky day. it was on that particular evening that i found myself at central stage, in the spotlight. winning the 21st century·ericsson cup seventh national english speaking competition is a memory that i shall treasure and one that will surely stay. more important than winning the cup is the friendship that has been established and developed among the contestants, and the chance to communicate offstage in addition to competing onstage. also the competition helps boost public speaking in china, a skill hitherto undervalued. for me, though, the competition is a more personal experience. habitually shy, i had been reluctant to take part in any such activities. encouraged by my friends, however, i made a last-minute decision to give it a try. in the course of preparation i somehow rediscovered myself, a truer me.
i found that, after all, i like communicating with other people; that exchanging views can be so much fun—and so much rewarding, both emotionally and intellectually; that public speaking is most effective when you are least guarded; and that it is essential to success in every walk of life. at a more practical level, i realized knowing what you are going to say and how you are going to say it are equally important. to take the original ideas out of your head and transplant them, so to speak, to that of others, you need to have an organized mind. this ability improves with training. yet there should not be any loss or addition or distortion in the process. those ideas that finally find their way into another head need to be recognizably yours. language is a means to transmit information, not a means to obstruct communication. it should be lucid to be penetrating.
in china, certain public speaking skills have been unduly emphasized. will it really help, we are compelled to ask, to bang at the podium or yell at the top of your lungs, if you have come with a poorly organized speech, a muddled mind, and unwillingness to truly share your views?
above all, the single most important thing i learnt was that as a public speaker, you need to pay attention, first and foremost, to the content of your speech. and second, the structure of your speech: how one idea relates and progresses to another. only after these come delivery and non-verbal communication: speed control, platform manner, and so on. pronunciation is important, yet of greater importance is this: is your language competent enough to express your ideas exactly the way you intend them to be understood? i was informed afterwards that i was chosen to be the winner for my appropriately worded speech, excellent presence and quick-witted response. in so remarking, the judges clearly showed their preference: they come to listen for meaningful ideas, not for loose judgments, nor easy laughters.
some contestants failed to address their questions head on. some were able to, but did not know where to stop—the dragging on betrayed their lack of confidence. the root cause was that they did not listen attentively to the questions. or they were thinking of what they had prepared. as i said in my speech, it is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking ... to take them [issues like obalization] on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way. we need to respond honestly.
a competition like this draws talented students from all over the country. and of course, i learnt more things than just about public speaking. since in the final analysis, public speaking is all about effective communication. and this goes true for all communications, whatever their setting. and the following is the final version of my speech: globalization: opportunities and challenges for chinas younger generation thirty years ago, american president richard nixon made an epoch-making visit to china, a country still isolated at that time. premier zhou enlai said to him, your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world—twenty-five years of no communication. thirty years since, china and america have exchanged many handshakes. the fundamental implication of this example is that the need to communicate across differences in culture and ideology is not only felt by the two countries but many other nations as well.
as we can see today, environmentalists from different countries are making joint efforts to address the issue of global warming, economists are seeking solutions to financial crises that rage in a particular region but nonetheless cripple the world economy, and politicians and diplomats are getting together to discuss the issue of combating terrorism. peace and prosperity has become a common goal that we are striving for all over the world. underlying this mighty trend of global communication is the echo of e. m. forsters words only connect!
with the it revolution, traditional boundaries of human society fall away. our culture, politics, society and commerce are being sloshed into one large melting pot of humanity. in this interlinked world, there are no outsiders, for a disturbance in one place is likely to impact other parts of the globe. we have begun to realize that a world divided cannot endure. china is now actively integrating into the world. our recent entry to the wto is a good example. for decades, we have taken pride in being self-reliant, but now we realize the importance of participating in and contributing to a broader economic order. from a precarious role in the world arena to our present wto membership, we have come a long way. but what does the way ahead look like? in some parts of the world people are demonstrating against globalization. are they justified, then, in criticizing the globalizing world? insteadof narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, they say, globalization enables the developed nations to swallow the developing nations wealth in debts and interest. globalization, they argue, should be about a common interest in every other nations economic health. we are reminded by karl marx that capital goes beyond national borders and eludes control from any other entity. this has become a reality. multinational corporations are seeking the lowest cost, the largest market, and the most favourable policy. they are often powerful lobbyists in government decision-making, ruthless expansionists in the global market and a devastating presence to local businesses. for china, still more challenges exist. how are we going to ensure a smooth transition from the planned economy to a market-based one? how to construct a legal system that is sound enough and broad enough to respond to the needs of a dynamic society? how to maintain our cultural identity in an increasingly homogeneous world? and how to define greatness in our rise as a peace-loving nation? globalization entails questions that concern us all. like many young people my age in china, i want to see my country get prosperous and enjoy respect in the international community. but it seems to me that mere patriotism is not just enough. it is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking and broaden our mind to bigger issues. there might never be easy answers to those issues such as globalization, but to take them on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way. this is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech.
Crossing the Sea
Good afternoon,ladies and gentlemen. The title of my speech today is "Crossing the Sea".
An English poet by the name of Rudyard Kipling once wrote in his poem "We and They":
"All the people like us are We
And everyone else is They
We live over the sea
While They live over the way
We eat pork and beef with cowhorn—handled knives
They who gobble their rice off a leaf
Are horrified out of their lives."
When these lines first caught my eyes,I was shocked—how could two peoples remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past?Today's society,of course,is an entirely different picture. Those people who used to eat with cowhorn—handled knives might be very skillful in using chopsticks,and those people who used to gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.
Indeed,just take China as an example:Our modern life has been influenced by Western style of living in so many ways that it's no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock—and—roll,whole families dining out at McDonald's and even rather elderly people dressed in Apple Jeans.
However,these are only some expressions of the cultural changes taking place in our society today. What is really going on is a subtle but significant restructuring of the nation's mentality. Just look around.
How many college graduates are ready to compete aggressively for every job opportunity,whereas not long ago they were asked just to sit idle and wait for whatever was to be assigned to them by the government?
How many young people are now eager to seek for an independent life whereas only two decades ago they would rely totally on their parents to arrange for their future?Ask anyone who participates in today's speech contest. Who has not come with a will to fight and who has not come determined to achieve self—fulfillment in winning the game?And I'm quite certain that if Confucius had lived to see today's China,he would have been horrified to see young lovers kissing each other in public places in an unreserved expression of their passion.
It is therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient Eastern civilization are already living under strong inf1uence of the Western culture. But it is not only in China that we find the incorporation of the two cultures.
Take the United States as an example:During the 1980s,in face of the overwhelming competition from Japan,many American companies such as the Ford began to adopt a teamwork management from their rivals,the essence of which,lay at the very core of Eastern culture.
Take the Chinese acupuncture as another example:This traditional treatment of diseases is finally finding its way to the West and hence the underlying notion that illness is resulted from the imbalance between Yin and Yang within the body —— an idea which would strike any Westerner as incredible in the past!
Ladies and Gentlemen,we live in a great epoch when the global integration of economy and the information revolution have brought cultures of the world closer than ever before. We live in a particular era when countries,East and West,find themselves in need of readjusting their traditional values. We live,at the same time,at a critical juncture of our evolution because such problems as ethnic conflicts and regional unrest are increasingly posing a threat to the peace and happiness of the whole human race. To cope with such an era and to embrace an even brighter future,we need to learn to live more harmoniously in a world community which is becoming smaller and smaller.
My dear fellow students,our command of the English language renders it possible for us to gain an insight into Western culture while retaining our own cultural efore,it is our sacred responsibility to promote the cultural exchanges and hence the mutual understanding between China and the rest of the world.
It is my happiest dream that the new generation of Chinese will not only grow up drinking Coca—Cola and watching Hollywood,but also be blessed with the far—reaching benefits of multiple cultures;benefits that our forefathers had never,ever dreamed of.
To end my speech,I would like to quote Rudyard Kipling again:
"All the people like us are We
And everyone else is They
But once you cross over the sea
You will end by looking on We
As only a sort of They"
Thank you.
“Diane, can you speak a little louder, please?” That’s what my teacher said to me on the first day of school. I almost burst into tears as so many students turned to watch me sitting down in the corner that belonged to me. After school, my teacher found me, smiling, she said: “You don’t have to be afraid of anyone. People just want to know about you so the next time just let them hear what you have to say. After so many years, I am still a shy person as I was fifteen years ago but the difference is I am not any more afraid of letting people know about me, hear about my ideas.
People, as we are, are never isolated individuals. We all live on the planet where lives all the other people as well. So keeping oneself excluded would never work, or else we would always be trapped in that little corner of ours. We have to step into the world as we are in fact part of it.
I’ve always remembered what Simba said to her daughter: we are one. So what’s to be afraid of? Since human beings are virtually linked souls. Just tell others what we really think, how we really feel. Even if we do have the wrong idea, we will have the chance to correct our mistakes. And if we don’t, it’s all right.
But if we never spoke our mind, we will never know what we are missing out in this world. We will never know what we can actually make of ourselves. And we will never know what is needed to live a life with other people. When there is giving, there is receiving. That’s how the communication circle works. We are all very blessed to have so many people hear our voice. So don’t refuse the blessing for life is based on it. Just remember when the world knows more about us, we know more about the world.
So today, can you hear my voice?"
I love my home e are eleven people in my family. All of us are happy every day.
I have a big family and a small family. The small family is me and my mother, also my dear father in heaven. The big family contains my maternal grandparents, my aunt, my uncle and my cousin. When we don’t(didn’t) have our own house, they let us live with them. And all of them took good care of us.
My mother is beautiful and kind, and she is a staff at a very big company. She can write very well. She is very strict on (with) me, but she loves me very much. She tells me that she loves me every day.
My father is very intelligent; he is an expert in his signory. He loves me very much ough he passed away of illness, I still fell (feel) that he and his love accompanies (will accompany) with me and my mother everyday.
My maternal grandmother was a teacher before she retired. She is very amiable. My maternal grandfather is very healthy----he can walk very fast, just like a young man. He accompanies me to the school until I was grade 4.
My aunt is very beautiful, my uncle is very excellent. He is a software expert. They have a little baby called DangDang. He is three years old. He is very naughty and clever. Sometimes he can make you very angry, and sometimes he can make you laugh.
And recently, we moved into our new home in October 1st. I am very glad to have my own room. And, I have a TV in my own room and I like the ICS channel it. In the past four years, we lived with them happily. Every week we get together to have a big meal and play with each other.
All in all, having a united big family is the happiest thing in my life. They are also the greatest wealth of me. I love my family and my home forever!

帮助别人是我们应该去做的事情,而且这样做会使我们受人欢迎。但是我们必须要实际一点,我们不能答应每一个要求。既然如此我们就必须知道如何有礼貌的说不。当我们需要说不的时候,有个办法呢我们可以试试。首先,我们应该要说实话,假如我们真的办不到某件事,我们就应该说不。第二,我们应该记得客气地拒绝对方的.要求。我们必须清楚地表达,但态度也必须真诚并且表示同情。一个真正的朋友会谅解的。最后,我们不必为了说不而觉的有罪恶感。有时候拒绝别人才是我们应该做的事。
A Scene to Remember
Gu Qiubei
Shanghai International Studies University
Advisor: Gong Longsheng
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
Today I would like to begin with a story.
There was once a physical therapist(临床医学家) who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a census(调查) about mountain gorillas(大猩猩). These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world; this put them severely under threat of poaching(偷猎) and being put into the zoo. She went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures. She witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we've ever been, where in the very depth of the African rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas cuddled(拥抱) their babies.
Yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called Gorillas in the Mist, based on a true story of Mrs. Dian Fossey, who spent most of bet lifetime in Rwanda to protect the eco-environment there until the very end of her life.
To me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a timeless(永恒的) reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our eco-environment.
Today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems. On the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go. It has become a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in GDP growth. It has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity. But on the other hand, many problems can occur---natural scenes aren't natural anymore. Deforestation to heat lodges is devastating Nepal. Oil spills from tourist boats are polluting Antarctica. Tribal people are forsaking their native music and dress to listen to U2 on Walkman and wear Nike and Reeboks.
All these appalling(令人震惊的) facts have brought us to the realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been eroding(侵蚀) our resources. Encouragingly, the explosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the United Nations has made 20xx the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the world's attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our eco-environment.
Now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection organizations an: receiving donations--big notes, small notes or even coins--from housewives, plumbers(水管工人), ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and invalids(残疾人), Some of them can not afford to send the money but they do. These are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood. Why? Because they care, because they still want their Mother Nature back. Because they know it still belongs to them.
This kind of feeling that I have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it, it's all coming from a scene to remember, a scene to recall and to cherish.
The other night, as l saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs. I found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to some- thing else, someplace else. a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seem to have been except the deer.
And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's lime for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.
Once again, I have come to think of Mrs. Dian Fossey be- cause it's with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our eco-environment that we are taking our next step into the world.
And no matter who we are what we do and where we go, in our mind, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it. Thank you very much.
Ladies and gentlemen,I'm Choco,from 14CPA Canada.I'm here today not just for winning the speech contest,which is amazing enough,but more importantly,the topic fascinates me so much.As a member of AIESEC,an international organization for university students famous for global citizen program,I'm proud to help lots of students go out of their countries to be global volunteers,to make friends with peers all around the world,to experience other culture,to make a little change in local society,above all,to develop a sense of global citizenship.We all have firm belief that there shouldn't be walls between nations.Conflicts occur because people know little about each other,misunderstand each other.If human society has a bright future in peace,there have to be more people with the sense of global citizenship,to share the natural rights together and take responsibility together. Because this is one minute for self-introduction,I just briefly introduce myself in this way: I am a global citizen.China is my bedroom where I usually live,the world is my real home.
【Main part】
I'd like to use the answers to three questions,which is what,why and how, to deliver my speech today.First of all,what are global citizens? We are people who place our indentities with global community above our identities of a particular nation.In other words,we are not abandoning our nationalities or our hometowns,but we have stronger belongings to the globe.We are concerned about every global issue,never less than those in our own countries.
There comes the second question.Many people will ask:" Why do you feel like that? Why do you think more people should feel like that?" Let's look through human's history and there lies the answer. From then to now,it's not difficult to find out that most civilizations have more things in common than differences.We all develop languages,complicated social structures,art,science,commerce,philosophy...Undeniably,we did have wars,but it turned out that there were no winners or losers.We all suffered from the same pain.Families died in battlefield,and houses were detroyed in shells.While in peace,all of us enjoy safe environment and economic growth.Our histories are linked,and so is our future. Everyone of us desires being well off,democracy,cultural prosperity,clean air and water.We all hope that our kids can grow up safe and sound,don't we? Since we share the same feelings,the same hope, humankind is essentially one.If you think that's too big.Let's come down to current situation.Economic globalization is the trend that no one can stop.Investment comes from every corner of the world,and different markets are tightly connected.Cooperation is needed if everyone wants to live better off.Moreover,issues of global level are more noticable than before:climate change,financial crisis,women's right,children's health...Without the sense of global citizenship, no one is willing to sit down and settle down the problems together.
Now move to the last question: how to become a global citizen? As a saying goes:To see,to understand,then to change.One of my friend in AIESEC went to Karachi,Pakistan this winter.Never had she thought that she could see a MacDonald restaurant and hear songs of Taylor Swift right after getting off the plane.What she saw was people living their normal life in the so-called City of Death.Adults going to work,students going to school,just like what we're doing here,although a bullet may fly above their heads the next second.She was also impressed by youngsters in Pakistan,who showed courage,faith and confidence to create a bright future for their country.Not just panic and depress can survive there as the news reports,but also the seed of hope is sprouting.Another friend of mine in AIESEC is from India.His name is Kunal,and he regards himself as a global citizen.He joined AIESEC in India,where he met his lifelong lover,a blonde Russian girl in a local project.When he went to the university of Copenhagen,he joined the AIESEC committee there as well.Now,he is in Canada, running another AIESEC project called Green Power Now,giving advice to the government about environmental protection.Young people like Kunal are changing the world now,with their experience, ability, ambition and the name of global citizens.
My speech is almost finished according to the three questions,but traditionally,speakers have to quote something so today I'd like quote a song by John Lennon.The name is Imagine.
I still remember when I was in the senior high, one of my best friends was struggling to make a decision between going abroad for further study and staying in China, finally she chose the later, and the reason she provided was very simple:” studying abroad is a tough experience!” Most of us will probably agree with her because we’re always deliberately trying to avoid difficulties and toughness society assigns us. Therefore, lots of the criticisms nowadays are based on the fact that young people are lack of faith which is shaped by the toughness they should have encountered in their age. As a generation brought up in the greenhouse; our parents sheltered nearly every waves and storms outside our ivory tower. A little tree with constant watering and care can never stand a violent wind, however, a tree on a dry land can live more vigorously even after a disaster because bad conditions develop its quality to grow its root much more deeper into the ground. Toughness shapes faith, and faith can turn obstacles to opportunities.
Dear ladies and gentlemen, how many of you have ever given up your pursuit because you thought it was too tough to accomplish and the obstacles are insurmountable? When reflecting on ourselves, let’s make a comparison with a boy called Liu Wei, who won the championship of 20xx China’s Got Talent by playing piano with his feet. The 22-year old boy, whose arms were amputated because of an electric shock, finally overcame all the obstacles once hindered his way to pursue his dream and showed us a preternatural faith shaped by the toughness he has encountered. And finally, his misery turned out to be an opportunity for him to build his faith and won the recognitions from the public.
Liu’s stirring deeds make us contemplate, if he didn’t lose his arms when he was young, he might be one of those bewildered people, hunting for a job to keep him a living in the social trend, furthermore, if Helen Keller wasn’t deprived of her sight and hearing, she might be deprived of her insight into the essence of life, if President Lincoln’s career was all smooth before he won the election, he might never have that perseverance to bring him onto such a historical stage.
Toughness shapes faith, and faith can turn obstacles into opportunities. That’s the reason why we should always be positive towards those so-called torturing events in life. We saw the faith shaped by Liu’s disability supported him to win applauds by millions of people around the world, providing the opportunities for him to shake off the shackles of his lost arms. Several weeks ago, we saw the faith shaped by the national disaster supported a squad-group of 50 Japanese workers voluntarily stick fast to their post, providing the living opportunities for others. Then, what do we see in us? Building faith is a life-long process, let’s bravely face the storms of life, face the toughness we once wanted to shun, face our original dreams which were later denied by ourselves. Let’s shape our faith by facing the challenges in life, and altering the obstacles into those precious opportunities that we’ll treasure in our whole life!

On March 14th, 20xx, professor Stephen William Hawking passed away. His contribution to inflationary cosmology has forever shifted our understanding of the universe. He wasn’t just a physicist for England, but for all mankind. His death marks the end of an era. He has passed the baton to a new generation of minds, to a new era. The exploration of nature waits for no man. So, are we ready to embrace the new era and new challenges?
When I was a kid, professor Hawking was known to me as the author of A Brief History of Time. I bought a lot of science books back then, but they were really difficult to understand. Whenever I stumbled, I would turn to my physics teacher for help. We would go through pages and pages of materials together, whether it was middle school stuff or Feynman’s lecture from Caltech, sometimes hours on end. I felt like we were tearing off the mask of nature and staring at the face of god. It was his guidance that encouraged me to study physics today. We’re living in an era in which science is embedded in people’s lives. From teachers who pass on knowledge, to construction workers who build labs; from organizations that provide funding, to scientists who conduct research, we all contribute to science in our own unique ways. We the people say we’re ready.
On October 5th, 20xx, China finally had its first Nobel Prize in natural science. Ms. Tu Youyou’s work and her receiving the most prestigious science award made us proud. We’re living in an era in which China is building some of the best research projects and institutions worldwide. Just a month ago, Professor Zhang Miman won the UNESCO for Women in Science Award, making her the fifth Chinese recipient of this honor. A week after that, The Economist referred to China as “a continent-sized rapidly growing economy with a culture of scientific inquiry”. Physicist and vice president of the Chinese Academy of Science, Dr. Zhang Jie stated, “China now has the most accurate, sufficient and largest amount of data; China has the highest, fastest and best ability of data analysis. The Chinese government will be strongly pushing for the sharing and utilization of data resources.” We as a country say we’re ready.
Science is an immortal topic of mankind. We’ve come this far because we’ve learned to work together and let the ideas evolve. The dispute over the completeness of quantum mechanics, for example, was resolved in the 5th Solvay conference, attended by 29 physicists from 10 different countries who have won 15 Nobel Prizes combined. That was almost 100 years ago. Now we’re living in an era in which information is transmitted at the speed of light, in which “International cooperation” is not just a slogan anymore, especially to the scientific community. Chinese Academy of Science now has 47 partners overseas. The International Council for Science now includes 122 national members, 23 scientific associates and 31 scientific unions. The facilities of the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, are available to over 600 universities and institutes around the globe. We, the world, are more than ready.
We’re all made of particles that have existed since the beginning of the universe, I’d like to believe those particles traveled through countless eras to create us, so that we, the people, China, and the world, can stand on the shoulders of giants, march into the new era with our head held high, and make people like Professor Hawking proud.

My future
Good evening.Ladies and gentlemen!
I am honour to stand here to deliver my speech .And my topic today is about future. As we all know, mans life is a process of growing up, actually Im standing here is a growth. If a persons life must constituted by various choices, then I grow up along with these choices. Once I hope I can study in a college in future, however thats passed, as you know I come here, now I wonder what the future holds for me.
When I come to this school, I told to myself: this my near future, all starts here. Following I will learn to become a man, a integrated man, who has a fine body, can take on important task, has independent thought, an open mind, intensive thought, has the ability to judge right and wrong, has a perfect job. Once my teacher said :” you are not sewing, you are stylist; never forget which you should lay out to people is your thought, not craft.” I will put my personality with my interest and ability into my study, during these process I will combine learning with doing. If I can achieve this “future”, I think that I really grow up. And I deeply believe kindred, good-fellowship and love will perfection and happy in the future.
How to say futureMaybe its a nice wish. Lets makeuourminds, stick to it and surely well enjoy our life.
dear
friends!
I am very glad to stand here and deliver a speech.
20xx sees the joys and sorrows of China. The snow disaster ,the earthquake and the Olympics all happened in this particular year. We chinese had never suffered such disaters and held the Olympics for the first time. That was a big challenge for us. But the strong chinese nation would fight until he dropped! Just as the saying goes, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. Hard work paid off. The disasters has gone by and the Olympics has been a big hit throughout the world.
Now I'm standing here to tell you that we're on our way to be great.No one can deny us the future.If winter has come,can spring be far behindWe stand on the land of snow,we hear the voice of hope!
Thank you!
20xx is a special year for Beijing for the Olympic Games. It is a special year for me too. I watched 8 games. The Olympic Games let me know, for all of the people in the world, we are family. In the 16 days, I saw different people from different countries. I heard different languages in the world. I sat next to English, American, Canadian and Korean when watching hockey games. I shouted “Go! Go! Go!” with Argentinian and Serbian when watching football match. In the Olympic Park, Australian friends shared their small gifts with Russian, German, French and Chinese. Everybody from different countries smiled at each other. Everybody was friendly to each other in these 16 days.
This is Olympic. It brings friendship, it brings peace.
I will remember the Beijing Olympic Games in my life.
In 20xx, I understand, we are living in earth village.
I believe, we are family of the world.
My speech is over. Thanks!
Lecture Scripts
Global Citizenship Begins at Home
When I saw this title , I felt a little nervous, if I could expound this topic for you clearly, maybe my wisdom was enough to help me write a masterpiece in every field. Unfortunately , I cannot. And fortunately, in less than 3 minutes will you know my ideas.
I think the most unbelievable news in the last century is we are genetically 99.9% the same. Do you feel a little excited, nowI did, when I first time heard it from the radio. And suddenly realized that we are born to be the same. This eye-catching news approved what we called “global village”, and then told us we are born with a “global citizenship” just like with the character.
However, same to the character, global citizenship is not only accepted by oneself ,but also by others. As traditional Chinese saying goes, “thousands of miles should begin at first step”. Only if we have a good beginning at home — step first we firmly stepped, it would be easy for other global citizens to admit us .
But you may feel a little bored to listen to my lecture and ask “what do you really want us to know”
So let’s pay attention to our motherland. China has set us good examples to favor the title “global citizenship begins at home”. More than a hundred years ago, when the old Chinese government limited economic growth and lock his doors against the world. He missed the best opportunity to develop himself. He abandoned home, but was eager for an absolute global citizenship. He wanted to ignore the first step but jump far. Let alone other countries with an ulterior motive, I cannot agree. But now everything is changing. China is enjoying his broaden global citizenship in global affairs. Only when he is getting stronger himself, the global citizenship is truly owned by himself.
Honor judges and dear friends, remember “global citizenship begins at home”, our dream should be that we keep on going to conform the changing world and keep our global
citizenship worthy. As long as our dream outweighs our ability, the world, our country and ourselves will be forever young. That’s is our destiny. And this is our moment.
Thank you for listening. Good night.
good afternoon, Ladies and gentlemen . The title of my speech is " The development of traditional culture " :
The 21st century has started a new history . Great changes have taken place in the world because of the prosperous development of technology and science . Some of
you might have noticed that more and more people around us have started to learn a second language besides English . But maybe you will ask me “Isnt it a good thing ” No , absolutely not . It certainly meets the objective request of the economic globalization .While we accept western culture, some of us lost themselves in the cultural sea. Chances are that we are likely to lose our own traditional cultures . So ,the cultural globalization which is caused by economic globalization may be harmful to our countrys scientific development.
As is well known to all , culture is the pillar of science .But there exist two
phenomenon in the process of globation . One is some people called Mr West 。They accept western culture without any judgement , and they dont care whether it is good or not . For instance ,maybe someone has found that western festivals are more and more popular such as Christmas and Valentine’s day. At the same time ,Chinese traditional festivals are fading away in our memories .we cant image how a country could develop with its own culture lost. Well , another is called Mr Old , in the contrary , they refuse to accept any other cultures , they blame that cultural globalization is a disaster . To our surprise , they absolutely dont know that exchanging culture communication can advance the development of science and technology .
Absolutely affirm or deny a culture for our development isnt a wise choice it isn’t a wise choice to completely accept or deny a culture.. Im glad to hear that our party implemented a policy which is called sustainable development and tries their best to inherit and enhance our traditional culture .Under the precondition , our culture could promote . In this case, Chinese citizen may manager to survive. What’s more , we feel delighted to see that more and more

尊敬的各位来宾、同学们:
大家下午好!
首先我代表金柳林外国语学校的全体教职员工和同学们对各位的到来表示诚挚的欢迎。
感谢组委会把的启动仪式放到金柳林学校,必将促进我校的各项工作。
我想借此机会给所有参赛的同学们讲几句话:
这个活动是一个非常难得的展示机会,是我们学习英语的好机会,是我们获得文化自信的机会,是让世界了解中国的机会,更是让中国融入世界争取发展的机会。同学们要珍惜机会,勇敢的展示自己。
金柳林秉承“东西并融、明德启智”的教育理念,致力于学科建设和核心素养“双一流”的高标准定位,作为北京外国语大学国际教育集团的实验学校,金柳林的同学们更应该把握机会,把日常所学在舞台上自信的展示。更重要的`是通过这个活动深入了解我们自己的文化,深入了解我们身边发生的事,通过了解要明白自己的责任,明白国家振兴需要我们每一个人的努力,需要我们努力的读书,需要在更大的舞台去传播中国的正能量!
作为北外国际实验学校,我们的课程体系建设不仅在英语学科上非常收益,北外国际教育集团的国际化教育理念和优质教育资源的借鉴、吸收、落地的思路深深的影响着我们,使得我们在其他学科建设上也深深收益。比如我们的数学学科建设,我们学校小学国际班学生的新加坡数学课已经是全英文授课了,我们还为不同程度的学生附加了澳大利亚的思维挑战赛、张景中院士的教育数学项目,在幼儿园把德国的逻辑狗教具作为基本的训练课程,就是要给在金柳林外国语学校的学生从幼儿园开始一个非常清晰的的思维发展路线图,让所有的孩子喜欢数学、让有数学天才的学生有无限的发展可能。
相信通过此次大赛更能够激发同学们的学习英语的热情,更能够深入了解中国文化的内涵。中国文化源远流长、博大精深;中国文化属于中国,也属于世界,用英语演绎璀璨的中国文化,展现英语应用水平的同时,传承中国文化,展现文化自信。
同学们我们不仅要用英语讲中国故事,更要用英语讲好中国故事。
最后,
祝同学们在学习中感受到英语的快乐!
再次欢迎各位领导的到来。预祝此次大赛取得圆满成功!
谢谢大家!
My grandpa was among the first group of English teachers sent to Australia by the Chinese government in the 1980s, when our country first opened its door. Off the plane, a hospitable Australian taxi driver asked him, “Where are you going today?” “Where to die?” My grandpa was shocked. With very limited access to authentic English, he had no idea of the Australian pronunciation for the word “today”.
My mom was much luckier in the 1990s when she went to college. She had recorded tapes of BBC and VOA news to listen to. When she stepped on the soil of England, she was much more confident. The first day after arrival, hungry and tired after a long flight, and with a Chinese stomach longing for hot food and drink, her only wish was to have a big breakfast. The British waitress approached her asked with a British accent completely comprehensible to her well trained ear, “Madam, would you like a Continental breakfast or an English breakfast?” Well, the European continent is much bigger than England, so must be the breakfast. She responded: “Continental Breakfast, please.” The waitress took the order and Mom was very satisfied about herself until she discovered the tiny breakfast of cold milk and iced juice, instead of fried bacon and also fried sausages.
I went to an American university for a summer program last year. After watching a movie, I decided to take a bus back to my apartment. However the bus didn’t arrive as scheduled. After waiting for about 20 minutes in the darkness, I was very uneasy and also scared. I stood there, staring into the direction which the bus should come from. But there was no bus but a street singer singing some unknown songs with his noisy guitar. The wind brought a feeling of chill, and as more and more stores closed and fewer and fewer people passed by, I couldn’t help shivering in the cold darkness. Suddenly, a piece of familiar music flowed into my ear. It was the best-known Chinese folk song: the Jasmine Flower! He was playing the Jasmine Flower with his guitar. Automatically, I tuned my Chinese ears to the familiar and nostalgic melody, with my heart warmed and my eyes wet. He played that music again and again until the bus came and I went aboard .
From strangeness, misunderstanding to cross cultural resonance, it takes three generations. The driving force behind the change is globalization, which offers opportunities for cultures to meet, to break down barriers between countries, and to bring peoples together. When the Chinese folk song played by an American street singer got me through coldness and fear, I also came to realize that intimate connection brought about by globalization and also cross cultural resonance can also help the world get through difficulties and disputes.
Ladies and gentlemen, if you would ask me whether globalization is enough, I will definitely say “no”. Globalization is a powerful force available to us, enabling people to communicate, to help, and to warm, just like what the American street singer did to me at that cold and dark night.
Long long ago, in a land far away, there lived a beautiful young girl.
She was very sad. Because her mother had died and her father had married again. His new wife had two ugly daughters, Esmerelda and Griselda
Soon after, her father also died and life immediately(立即) changed for the girl.
"You will be our servant(仆人), "said her stepmother(继母). "You will do everything we say."
"You must sleep in the kitchens." said the stepsisters.
There she had to do hard work from morning until evening, get up before daybreak(黎明), carry water, make the fires, cook, and wash. Besides(除了) this, the sisters did everything imaginable(可以想象) to hurt her. They made fun of her. In the evening when she had worked herself weary(厌倦), there was no bed for her. Instead she had to sleep by the hearth in the ashes(灰). And because she always looked dusty(尘土飞扬) and dirty, they called her Cinderella.
"There are cinders(煤渣) all over your clothes!" exclaimed(喊叫) the stepmother. " Cinderella. Thats your new name. Clear these things away, Cinderella."
"Cinderella! Cinderella!" Esmerelda and Griselda said. "Oh, how clever you are, Mama!"
One day, an invitation(邀请) arrived from the palace.
"Girls, listen to this," said the stepmother. Cinderella was serving(准备) the breakfast. She listened as her stepmother read the invitation.
"The King is having a ball," she said excitedly(兴奋). "He is looking for a wife for the Prince! Oh, my dears, this is wonderful. He will probably choose one of you, but it will be such a hard choice to make.
"Am I invited too, stepmother?" asked Cinderella.
"You! Certainly(当然) not!" exclaimed(惊呼) her stepmother. "The thought of such a thing. A scruffy servant(破旧的仆人) going to a ball, when only beautiful ladies are invited!"
"Hah! Hah!" laughed the stepsisters. "Beautiful! That doesnt include you, Cinderella!"
"You may help my two lovely girls to get ready," said her stepmother.
"Oh," said Cinderella
"We shall all have new dresses, girls, and we shall go shopping today. Clear away these things, Cinderella."
Oh, I wish I could go to the ball, thought(认为) Cinderella.
The day of the ball arrived and the whole day was spent preparing Esmerelda and Griselda. Cinderella did her best to make the sisters look pretty, but it was an impossible task.
Finally, the coach arrived to collect the girls and their mother.
Cinderella was very tired and she wandered back to the kitchens.
"Oh, I did so want to go," she sighed(叹气) as she sat down by the fire.
"Whats to stop you?" asked a voice(声音).
"Whos that?" asked Cinderella, looking around.
"Im here by the door." A strange woman walked up to Cinderella. "I heard you the other day, wishing you could go to the ball. Well, the ball is this evening, and youre going."
"But how?" asked Cinderella. "What can you do?"
"Anything I want to," said the woman. "Im your fairy(仙女) godmother, and Im here to send you to the ball.
She sat down.
"Come now," she said. "Dry those tears(擦干眼泪). We have work to do. I need a large pumpkin(南瓜), two mice(老鼠) and a frog. Can you find these?"
"Yes," said Cinderella, mystified(迷惑) by the request(请求).
"Off you go, then."
When Cinderella found all the things, her fairy godmother took them all outside.
"Now for the magic," she said. She waved(挥舞) her hands and the air began to twinkle(闪烁) and sparkle(闪光). The pumpkin began to grow and change, until standing there was a coach.
The mice changed into two fine footmen(步兵), the frog into the driver, and the rats(老鼠) into two beautiful horses to pull the coach.
Cinderella clapped(拍) her hands. "Its beautiful!" she cried.
"In you get," said her fairy godmother.
"But I cant go like this," said Cinderella.
"Like what?" asked the fairy godmother. "You look lovely to me."
Cinderella looked at herself. While the magic had been working on the pumpkin, it had also been working on her. Instead of her ragged(破烂) dress she wore a beautiful ball gown(晚礼服), with glass slippers(玻璃鞋) on her feet.
"Oh, fairy godmother," said Cinderella. "Its lovely. How can I thank you?"
"By going to the ball," said the fairy godmother. "Off you go, but remember, the magic stops working at midnight(午夜). Everything will change back then. Now go and enjoy yourself."
"Good-bye, fairy godmother," called Cinderella, as the coach swept off.
Cinderella arrived at the palace(皇宫) and walked into the ballroom. Everyone stopped and stared(看着).
"Who is she?" people asked, including her stepmother and stepsisters.
The Prince saw her, and had eyes for no one else for the rest of the evening. Cinderella danced only with the Prince(王子), and as the evening passed, he fell in love with her.
A clock chiming(报时) reminded Cinderella of her fairy godmothers warning(警告). It must be eleven oclock, she thought(告知), but she asked the Prince. "What time is it?"
"Almost midnight," he answered.
"Oh, no!" cried Cinderella. "I must go!"
"You cant. Not now," said the Prince.
"I must." And Cinderella swept out of the room, and ran out of the palace. As she ran, the clock finished chiming. Cinderellas clothes changed back into rags(破布), and the coach and horses were nowhere to be seen.
The Prince tried to follow, but he couldnt catch up. When he reached(走到) the door, all he found was one glass slipper. He ran to the main door.
"Was a beautiful girl just driven(赶) out of here?" he asked the guard(士兵).
"No, your Highness. Ive only seen a scruffy servant(邋遢的仆人) girl," the guard answered.
"Ive lost her," said the Prince, and he returned sadly to the palace.
The next morning, Cinderellas stepmother and stepsisters were talking about the ball.
The Prince meanwhile(同时) decided to look for the mysterious(神秘) girl he had fallen in love with. He issued(发表) a proclamation(公告). "Whoever the glass shoe fits(合适), shall be wife to the Prince."
The Prince and his footman(仆人) went from house to house of all the ladies invited to the ball.
He finally arrived at the stepmothers house.
"Its my shoe!" cried Esmerelda, trying desperately(穿) to pull the shoe on.
"Please, miss!" said the footman. "Your foot is too big. you will break the slipper(玻璃鞋)."
Griselda tried the shoe, but her toes were far too long.
"Is there anyone else?" asked the Prince.
"Theres only Cinderella, the maid(女仆)," said the stepmother. "But she wasnt even at the ball."
"All the ladies in the kingdom(王国) must try the slipper," said the footman.
Cinderella was called from the kitchen. Esmerelda and Griselda laughed when they saw how dirty she was. But their laughter turned to tears when they saw Cinderellas foot slide easily into the slipper.
"Oh!" they cried. "It fits!"
The Prince looked at Cinderella and realised that she was the girl that he had fallen in love with.
Cinderella took the other slipper from her pocket(口袋) and put it on.
The Prince was happy to have found her, and on a bright sunny day, he and Cinderella were married. They lived happily ever after.
很久以前,在一个遥远的地方,住着一个年轻漂亮的姑娘。
她很伤心。因为她的母亲已经去世,她的父亲再次结婚。他的新妻子有两个丑陋的女儿,Esmerelda和Griselda
不久之后,她的父亲也死了,生活马上(立即)为女孩改变。
“你将是我们的仆人(仆人),说:”她的继母(继母)。 “你会做的一切,我们说的。”
“你必须睡在厨房。”姐姐说。
在那里,她不得不从早晨到晚上做艰苦的工作,天亮前起床(黎明),提水,生火,做饭,洗。除了(除了)这一点,姐妹们做的一切都是想象(可以想象)伤害她。他们把她的乐趣。在黄昏时,她曾自己疲惫(厌倦),没有床,等着她。相反,她不得不睡在骨灰由(灰)炉边。而且因为她总是看着尘土飞扬(尘土飞扬)和脏了,他们叫她灰姑娘。
“有渣(煤渣)在你的衣服!”惊呼(喊叫)的继母。 “灰姑娘。这就是你的新名称。清除这些东西拿走,灰姑娘”。
“灰姑娘!灰姑娘!” Esmerelda和Griselda说。 “哦,你真聪明,妈妈!”
有一天,邀请(邀请)刚从皇宫。
“女孩,听这个,说:”继母。灰姑娘服务(准备)的早餐。她听着她的继母读了邀请。
“国王是有一个球,”她兴奋地说(兴奋)。 “他的是一个王子的妻子看,噢,亲爱的,这是美妙的。他可能会选择一个你,但会这样艰难的抉择。
“我邀请过,继母?”问灰姑娘。
“你!当然(当然)不!”惊呼(惊呼)她的继母。 “本以为这样的事情。一个破旧的仆人(破旧的仆人)去一个球,当时只有漂亮的小姐是请!”
“哈!哈!”姐姐笑着说。 “漂亮!这还不包括对自己的女儿!”
“你可以帮助我的两个可爱的女孩准备好,”她的继母。
“哦,”灰姑娘
“我们都应有新衣服,女孩,我们将今天去购物。清除这些东西,灰姑娘”。
噢,我希望我能去参加舞会,思想(认为)灰姑娘。
球的一天到了,花了一整天的准备Esmerelda和Griselda。灰姑娘也使她的最好的姐妹好看,但它是一个不可能完成的任务。
最后,教练抵达收集的女孩和他们的母亲。
灰姑娘非常疲惫,她在街上转悠回到厨房。
“噢,我这样做是不想去,”她叹了口气(叹气),她坐在火炉边下来。
“什么来阻止你?”问了一个声音(声音)。
“是谁?”问灰姑娘,四处张望。
“我的门了。”一个陌生的女人走到灰姑娘。 “我听说你有一天,希望你能去参加舞会。好了,今天晚上的球,而你去。”
“怎么会呢?”问灰姑娘。 “你可以做什么?”
“只要我想,”那个女人说。 “我是你的童话(仙女)教母,我是来送你到球。
她坐了下来。
“来吧,”她说。 “擦干眼泪(擦干眼泪)。我们有工作要做。我需要一个大南瓜(南瓜),两只老鼠(老鼠)和一只青蛙。你能找到这些?”
“是的,”灰姑娘,迷惑的请求(请求)(迷惑)。
“关你去,然后。”
当灰姑娘发现所有的事情,她的仙女教母,把他们全部外面。
“现在的魔力,”她说。她挥手(挥舞)她的手和空气开始闪烁(闪烁)和闪光(闪光)。南瓜开始成长和改变,直到站在那里是一个教练。
罚款分为两个步兵(步兵),青蛙变成了驱动程序的小鼠,并分为两个漂亮的马鼠(老鼠)拉的教练。
灰姑娘拍手(拍)她的手。 “它真美!”她哭了。
“在你得到的,”她的仙女教母。
“但我不能再这样下去,说:”灰姑娘。
“像什么?”问仙女教母。 “你看上去可爱极了我。”
灰姑娘看着自己。虽然魔术已经就南瓜工作,它也一直在研究她。而不是她的衣衫褴褛(破烂)裙子,她穿了漂亮的球礼服(晚礼服),与她的脚玻璃拖鞋(玻璃鞋)。
“哦,仙女教母,说:”灰姑娘。 “这是可爱。我该如何感谢你呢?”
“通过进入球”之称的仙女教母。 “关你去,但要记住,神奇的停在午夜(午夜)工作。一切都将改变当时的情况。现在去欣赏自己。”
“再见,神仙教母,”叫灰姑娘,作为教练席卷了。
灰姑娘来到宫(皇宫),进入舞厅走去。每个人都停下来,盯着(看着)。
“她是谁?”有人问,包括她的继母和姐姐。
王子看到她,并为不为别的,晚上休息一的眼睛。灰姑娘与王子跳舞只(王子),并作为传递的晚上,他爱上了她。
一个时钟报时(报时)提醒她的仙女教母的警告(警告)灰姑娘。 这必须是十一时,她的思想(告知),但她问便知。 “现在是什么时候?”
“几乎午夜,”他回答。
“噢,不!”哭了灰姑娘。 “我必须去!”
“你不能。不是现在,”王子说。
“我绝”。和灰姑娘席卷了房间,跑出来的宫殿。当她跑了,时钟结束钟声。灰姑娘的衣服变回成破布(破布),而教练和马都无处可看。
王子试图跟随,但他却无法赶上。当他到达(走到)门,他所发现的是一水晶鞋。他跑到大门。
“是一个美丽的女孩只是驱动(赶)离开这里?”他要求后卫(士兵)。
“不,殿下。我只看到了邋遢的仆人(邋遢的仆人)的女孩,”门卫回答。
“我已经失去了她,”王子说,他伤心地回到了皇宫。
第二天早上,灰姑娘的继母和姐姐们都在谈论球。
王子同时(同时)决定寻找神秘(神秘)女孩,他已经爱上了。他发表(发表)的公告(公告)。 “谁的玻璃鞋适合(合适),应当对王子的妻子。”
王子和他的仆人(仆人)就从家房子里所有的邀请参加舞会女士。
他终于来到了继母的家中。
“这是我的鞋!”哭Esmerelda,拼命(穿)鞋上拉。
“请,小姐!”仆人说,。 “你的脚太大。您将打破拖鞋(玻璃鞋)。”
Griselda试了鞋子,但她的脚趾太长。
“还有其他人吗?”王子问。
“只有灰姑娘,女仆(女仆)”之称的继母。 “但是她甚至在球没有。”
“所有在国(王国)女士们必须设法拖鞋,说:”听差。
灰姑娘被称为从厨房。 Esmerelda和Griselda笑了,他们看到她有多脏。但是,他们的笑声变成了眼泪,当他们看到灰姑娘到拖鞋的脚滑容易。
“哦!”他们喊着。 “它适合!”
王子看着灰姑娘,并意识到她是他已经爱上了女孩。
灰姑娘从她的口袋里了(口袋)其他拖鞋,穿上它。
王子很高兴找到了她,在一个阳光明媚的一天,他和灰姑娘结婚了。他们一直过得很幸福。

once upon a time there were a fisherman and his wife who lived together in a filthy shack near the sea. every day the fisherman went out fishing, and he fished, and he fished. once he was sitting there fishing and looking into the clear water, and he sat, and he sat. then his hook went to the bottom, deep down, and when he pulled it out, he had caught a large flounder.
then the flounder said to him, "listen, fisherman, i beg you to let me live. i am not an ordinary flounder, but an enchanted prince. how will it help you to kill me? i would not taste good to you. put me back into the water, and let me swim."
"well," said the man, "there's no need to say more. i can certainly let a fish swim away who knows how to talk."with that he put it back into the clear water, and the flounder disappeared to the bottom, leaving a long trail of blood behind him. then the fisherman got up and went home to his wife in the filthy shack.
"husband," said the woman, "didn't you catch anything today?" "no," said the man. "i caught a flounder, but he told me that he was an enchanted prince, so i let him swim away.”"didn't you ask for anything first?" said the woman. "no," said the man. "what should i have asked for?"
"oh," said the woman. "it is terrible living in this shack. it stinks and is filthy. you should have asked for a little cottage for us. go back and call him. tell him that we want to have a little cottage. he will surely give it to us.oh," said the man. "why should i go back there?" "look," said the woman, "you did catch him, and then you let him swim away. he will surely do this for us. go right now."
the man did not want to go, but neither did he want to oppose his wife, so he went back to the sea.when he arrived there it was no longer clear, but yellow and green. he stood there and said: “mandje! mandje! timpe te! flounder, flounder, in the sea! my wife, my wife ilsebill, wants not, wants not, what i will?”the flounder swam up and said, "what does she want then?"
"oh," said the man, "i did catch you, and now my wife says that i really should have asked for something. she doesn't want to live in a filthy shack any longer. she would like to have a cottage.go home," said the flounder. "she already has it."
the man went home, and his wife was standing in the door of a cottage, and she said to him, "come in. see, now isn't this much better?”there was a little front yard, and a beautiful little parlor, and a bedroom where their bed was standing, and a kitchen, and a dining room. everything was beautifully furnished and supplied with tin and brautensils, just as it should be. and outside there was a little yard with chickens and ducks and a garden with vegetables and fruit.
"look," said the woman. "isn't this nice?yes," said the man. "this is quite enough. we can live here very well.we will think about that," said the woman.then they ate something and went to bed.
everything went well for a week or two, and then the woman said, "listen, husband. this cottage is too small. the yard and the garden are too little. the flounder could have given us a larger house. i would like to live in a large stone palace. go back to the flounder and tell him to give us a palace.oh, wife," said the man, "the cottage is good enough. why would we want to live in a palace?"
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My topic today is “Environment is my top concern”. When talking about Environment, what’s the first thing that has come to your mind? Is it the Copenhagen climate change conference, or the Gulf Oil Spill, or the leak of toxic sludge in Hungary? Different people may have different answers.
Let’s check out how serious the environmental situation is in the world. Recent years have seen an increasing number of reports on the extinction of species, soil erosion as well as air pollution. The history of industrialization and urbanization has been a history of declining environmental quality. We may be satisfied with our so called modern life, but please do not turn a blind eye to what’s happened around us. Water is polluted. Animals are killed. Resources are devoured. And farmlands turn into desserts.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the world we now live in. It’s not a wonderland. It’s not a safe haven. It’s a planet damaged by human beings and the situation is getting even worse. We need to change. We need to do something about it. We need to shoulder our responsibility. Otherwise, the end of world may come just as the film 20xx showed us. Now is the moment; Now is the time; Now is the only chance we can have to save our world.
Then you may ask “what can we do”? I have listed three answers to this question for all of you. Firstly, the governments should take a leading role in publicizing knowledge and raising people’s awareness. They are supposed to use economic and administrative leverage to monitor and regulate the environmental protection. Secondly, companies should raise their ability of independent innovation. They should encourage scientific and technological advances, and use new methods to reduce wastes and pollution. And thirdly, we people, as individuals, must take some actions. We should keep firmly in mind that every enormous change starts from the very first step.
Ladies and gentlemen, the earth is in our hands. Save it, or destroy it, it’s our choice. Our efforts will be powerful enough to save the world. If everyone, including you and me, is engaged in this world-saving project, environment will never ever be my top concern.
