have you ever Dreamt of being in the movies? maybe you're a bit of a thespian? but what if you don't have matinee-idol looks? well, if you're creative and write well you could make your mark in hollywood as a screenwriter instead.
tony gilroy is one of hollywood's most sought-after screenwriters, with blockbusters such as the devil's advocate, armageddon and the bourne identity under his belt.
his advice to budding screenwriters is to make stuff up but keep it real. gilroy believes knowing about human behaviour is the deal-breaker. according to him, "the quality of your writing will be directly related to your understanding of human behaviour".
he says: "you need to become a journalist for the movie that is in your head. you need to report on it; every scene has to be real."
gilroy also thinks you've got to start with a very small idea that you can build on. for example, the bourne films are based on novels by the writer robert ludlum, but gilroy says he didn't actually read them. instead he created a world around the character of jason bourne, a spy who has lost his memory and tries to discover his own identity.
gilroy says: "the smallest thing with bourne was, 'if i don't know who i am and i don't know where i'm from, perhaps i can identify who i am by what i know how to do'. we built a whole new world around that small idea."
in short, he explains: "you just start small, you build out and you move one step after the next and that's how you write a hollywood movie".
one thing a screenwriter can't do without though, is a thick skin. you've got to learn how to handle rejection. even when you're successful. gilory was nominated for an Oscar for his script for michael clayton, starring george clooney. but the 20xx award in that category went to brook busey-maurio, for her debut script for the film juno.
so, do you think you have what it takes to consider a career in the movies?
good morning, my dear teachers and my is my great pleasure to stand here to introduce my k you for your listening. Good afternoon,teachers and my follew y i am going to talk about " my dream "
If you can dream it, you can do it.——Walt Disney
It was a long four years. Even after I had actually graduated, the nightmares began to haunt me, the university would call to say I hadn’t truly graduated. There had been a mistake and there was just one more class I needed to take. I was always so relieved to wake up and realize that it had only been a bad dream. In reality, I had completed every course needed for my degree, and I was a full-fledged college graduate!
Now, the rest of my life loomed ahead of me. Sometimes a bachelor’s degree prepares you for a specific occupation——you train to be an accountant, you graduate and get a position in an accounting firm. Often, however, your stint in college only prepares you to make further decisions regarding your future. You’re pretty sure what you don’t want to do!
During my senior year of college, I had toyed with the idea of changing my major. At that point, I had finally discovered what captured my heart. But, wanting to finally be finishing school was a stronger pull. So, I took a few courses in physiology and exercise science, but not enough to receive a degree in physical therapy. That would require advanced schooling, beyond my bachelor’s degree——and I just wasn’tready to tackle that. Having completed my B.C. degree, I didn’t have any intentions of furthering my education.
So, I did the safe thing and got an office job——the very thing I was sure that I didn’t want to do! I detested the office policies, the suits I had to wear and the downtown environment that I had to drive to every day. I knew this was not where I belonged.
But god knew what path my career was to follow. A position opened up at the most exclusive health club in our city, so I applied. This was my kind of environment——an active, vibrant kind of place——completely at the opposite end of the spectrum from the office environment where I found myself. The position required that I work Saturday nights and Sunday mornings. Perfect, I thought! I could keep my office job Monday through Friday and work at my dream job on the weekends. This arrangement lasted several months until, eventually, a full-time position opened up and I was able to resign from my office job.
Over the next few years, I worked my way up the leader, gaining experience in several different departments. I found my niche as the director of member services——catering to our clientele and providing them with numerous cutting-edge programs. I would have stayed at that job forever——it seemed to be the pinnacle of all my dreams fulfilled. Here were fellow employees who had a passion for the same things that I did——health and fitness. Yet again, god had other plans for my life.Within two years, a newer, bigger, better and more state-of-the-art health club facility was built——just five miles down the road. And, in turn, the owner lost many members to that club. And, in turn, the owner lost thousands of dollars. One by one we were each laid off.
After trying unsuccessfully to land another similar position elsewhere, I knew what I had to do. Go back to school!thanks!
I feel so happy to have the chance to make a speech. The title of my speech is Protect the Environment, Protect Ourselves. I hope you will like it.
Everybody knows waste pa-pe-r and used coke cans are discarded everywhere. You might have seen plastic bags flying in the sky and getting caught in the trees when the wind blows or maybe you have seen old cans floating in the rivers and polluting the water. Our environment is the place in which we live, but it is being ruined by us.
There is a story about house and trees. It is said that a man’s house was surrounded by a lot of trees. Though the wind was strong, that man could have a good rest under the trees. How comfortable the life was!
One day, that man wanted to enlarge his house, so he cut down all the trees. Then the autumn came without the protection. The strong wind blew the roof of the house into the sky. The whole house was gone with the wind. What a pity!
But that’s the price people have to pay for destroying in the ecology balance. People shouldn’t be short-sighted. Protecting the environment is everyone’s task.
As you know, there are four kinds of pollution. They are air pollution, water pollution, waste pollution and noise pollution. But what can we do to solve the pollution? I think, firstly, we can make cars that don’t pollute the environment. We can ask companies to use modern clean technology.
In some big cities, we can limit the number of cars. Secondly, we can try to use lewater and make sure that we do not pollute the water. We can tell factories that they are not allowed to pour waste water into the lakes and rivers.
Thirdly, we should not throw rubbish in parks and cities. We can pick up rubbish if we see it. We can put more rubbish bins in our parks and cities. Fourthly, we can live far from the noise and make the laws to limit the noise.
Ladies and gentlemen ,
good morning.Today ,my topic is ‘be the best and to be myself’.
Who is the best student in your class Do you think the best student often draws attention from others and are you even jealous of him or her from time to time
Frankly speaking, I do.
In my class , my deskmate is considered to be the best.In teachers’ eyes ,he is a clever boy ;
So intelligent is he that he is able to figure out difficult problems in extremely short time.From most classmates’ point of view ,he is an energetic friend.Not only can he play the Jazz drum wonderfully ,but also he is good at so many sports .Furthermore ,he always shows his sense of humour in the communication with others.Definitely ,he is the best.Nevertheless ,I don’t admire him in the least or I don’t agree that I’m supposed to become what he is .Despite the fact that I have ever been green with envy ,I’m conscious that everyone has his own values .No matter how outstanding others are, I should spare no effort to be myself .I used to think of myself as an average student.Although I am capable of playing the trumpet and using computer software practically, seldom do I show my advantages at school .On account of that, it seems that the only impression I have left on my teachers and classmates is that I’m a hardworking ,modest and silent student.What I wonder is how I can show my outgoing and lively side to them.If I make it, I am surely the best of myself.
It goes without saying that we ought not to seek to be like others all the time .I have been looking for my particular value in the society and that should be the best of myself.
That’ all.Thank you for your attention.
Skill comes from practice
During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a skilled archer. One day he drew a big crowd while he was practicing on the drill ground. He shot so accurately that the on-lookers cheered with excitement. He became very proud of his skill. But among the crowd an old oil peddler only nodded his head indifferently. This hurt his Pride.
“Can you do this?” he asked the old oil peddler. “No, I can’t.”
“What do you think of my skill?”
“Just OK, but nothing special. You’ve gained your accuracy from persistent practice. That’s all.”
“What can you do, then?” the old man said nothing. He put a gourd bottle on the ground and covered its mouth with a copper coin. He then scooped out a ladle of oil from his big jar, held it high and began to fill the bottle.
Now, a thread of oil came down from the ladle into the bottle just through the hole of the coin. Everybody looking on watched with amazement. But the old man said, “This is nothing special, I can do this because I have practiced it a lot.” And with these words, he left.
Later, people use this phrase to mean “Practice makes perfect”.
“My name is Li Jiatong.”榆林高新小学的操场上传来阵阵英语朗诵声。咦,这是怎么回事呢?原来是学校在举行英语演讲比赛呢!20 年9月12日,对我来说,非常难忘。不仅因为我参加了这次英语演讲比赛,更重要的是我战胜了自己。
比赛之前,老师问大家谁愿意参加比赛,同学们都积极举手,踊跃参加。我也好想参加比赛,可是怕自己演讲得不好,没有勇气举手。这时,老师好像看出了我的心思,问我:“李佳桐,你想参加吗?”我低声说:“老师,我想参加,可是我怕演讲不好。”老师说:“没关系,重在参与嘛,越是胆怯,越要锻炼自己。”于是我报了名。
回到家里,我就开始天天对着镜子练习演讲,不放过一个细节。真是“台上一分钟,台下十年功”。经过我的不懈努力,我终于能大方自然熟练地演讲了。
星期四下午,比赛正式开始了,我穿着漂亮的白纱裙来到赛场。首先是高年级的大哥哥大姐姐们演讲,他们演讲的十分精彩,给了我很大的压力。马上就要轮到我了,我心里别提有多紧张了,手心直冒冷汗。这时,一双温暖的大手搭在我的肩上,原来是老师。老师亲切地对我说:“别紧张,老师相信你。”我一下子放松了许多。
该我上场了,我努力克服内心的胆怯,开始了演讲。不知不觉我完全进入了状态,大大方方地演讲着。演讲完了,台下响起了雷热烈的掌声,我偷偷地看了一眼评委老师,只见评委老师的脸上露出了赞
许的笑容,我就知道自己表现得不错。终于主持人宣布比赛结果了,我获得了二等奖,我心里乐开了花。
这件事已经过去半年了但我我仍然记忆犹新。每当我看到那张金灿灿的奖状我就暗暗对自己说:“李佳桐,你能行。”
Business breakfasts are common, and can start as early as 7: 00 a.m.
On weekends, many people partake in “brunch”,a combination of lunch and breakfast beginning anywhere from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Moreover, business meetings are sometimes held over “brunch.”
Business meetings are frequently held over lunch, which begins at 12:00 noon and sometimes lasts until 2:00 p.m. Lunch is usually a lighter meal, since work continues directly afterward. Additionally, an alcoholic beverage such as wine or beer is sometimes ordered.
If you are invited out for a business meal, the host will usually pay.
If you are invited out, but your host does not offer to pay, you should be prepared to pay for your own meal.
When eating out, the cost is sometimes shared with friends or colleagues, a practice often referred to as “getting separate checks”, “going Dutch”, or “splitting the bill.”
If you invite a U.S. counterpart out socially, you must make it clear whether you wish to pay.
The fork is held in the right hand and is used for eating. The knife is used to cut or spread something onto a food item. To use the knife, the fork is switched to the left hand or is laid down; to continue eating, the fork is switched back to the right hand. But, if you prefer to use the “continental” style of dining, in which the knife and fork are never switched, that is acceptable, too.
Unlike some other cultures, it's perfectly acceptable to refuse an offer of food or drink; moreover, in most cases, the host probably won't urge you to eat.
Many foods are eaten with the hands, so you may want to follow the example of your companions.
There are a variety of ways to beckon a server. For example, you can make eye contact and raise your eyebrows, briefly wave to get his or her attention, or mouth the word for what you want such as "water” or “coffee.” To call for the check, you can make a writing gesture or mouth the word “check, please.”
It is not considered rude to eat while walking down the street.
Business gifts are often presented after the deal is closed. In most situations, gifts are usually unwrapped immediately and shown to all assembled. If you receive a Christmas gift, however, you may be asked to wait until Christmas Day to open it.
In many cases, the best gifts are those that come from your country.
You may not receive a gift in return right away.
During the Christmas season, gifts are exchanged. For your business associates, you can give gifts such as useful items for the office, liquor or wine.
When you visit a home, it is not necessary to take a gift, although it is always appreciated. Flowers, a potted plant, or a bottle of wine can be good gift choices.
Taking someone out for a meal or other entertainment is another popular gift.
Gifts for women such as perfume or clothing are usually inappropriate because they are considered far too personal.
Gifts for children are often a thoughtful and appreciated gesture, but take into account the values of the parents. For example, some parents might object to your giving a toy gun or a violent video game to their child. Acceptable public conduct.
First of all, I want to thank you all for coming to this party. I have thrown this party, because I wanted to thank you all for being kind to me while I have been here.Looking back, it seems like a very short five years living here and working together with you. My wife and I still remember the first day we arrived in Los Angeles, and every thing looked so huge, compared with things in Taipei. The first several months were a difficult time, but we tried very hard to adapt ourselves to the new environment, new life style, and a new place of work. There were times of disappointment, anger, and humiliation, and there were also times of joy, excitement, and happiness, Through them all, you have always been with us to share the sorrow and happiness, and we are deeply grateful to you for that.Millions of thanks to you all, and don't forget to finish your dinner before it gets cold.
Dear teacher, dear classmates:
Good morning everyone! Today the title of my speech is "wisdom to open the door of wisdom to open the road to success with diligence".
Students, you can still remember the first time into the school scenarios? Remember the first open textbooks, joy and novelty in writing the first word? That's one small step into the gate, but it is a big step in life. Life on this voyage, we sail with wisdom, hard for the pulp and began to sail to the very vast knowledge of the ocean!
Our school is a treasure house of knowledge, a cultural corridor, is Yuefu teachers and students, it is the cradle of talent. Students, in this treasure house, the corridor and the Yuefu, bathing in the morning, have you ever thought of, today the stem what? Inspired by the setting sun. Have you ever asked, today there are many harvest?
Dickens said, "I have harvested, I planted the seeds." Everyone has a chance to become a talented person, it is to see you go not to fight for this opportunity. The key to the most commonly used light, can come from diligent study, history not millions of people with their own actions to prove this statement credible Su Qin to urge their own diligent study "the first cantilever cone Cigu" story, leaving the eternal fame. Kuangheng to learn, "cutting the wall to steal light"; Chen Yin to learn, "firefly Yingxue capsule"; Yang Shi to learn, "Li Xue" and so on. They not by diligence and wisdom beyond their own success. To change the fate of knowledge, knowledge of life. Do you also want to be like them, to work hard to acquire knowledge, improve your ability to change your life?
As Mr. Guo Moruo said, "diligence and wisdom are the keys to success". Today we should remember his words, flying their own youth, with industrious sweat paved road to success in the future. Maybe we have lost at the starting line, but never let ourselves lose at the end. Hard work can make up for congenital deficiency, cherish each moment, efforts to acquire knowledge. For the brothers and sisters in ninth grade, recruit exam is not very distant, facing life's first choice, you should redouble our efforts, study hard, make adequate preparations to meet recruit exam; for our eighth graders and eighth grade is a turning point in the junior high school learning, we should grasp well, study hard, and constantly improve themselves; and seventh grade we don't relax. Now our efforts is in learning for the future and lay a solid foundation, and only the foundations of the lay a solid foundation, the house will be built higher. Students, regardless of we are in what stage of learning, we should to seize the fleeting time, take advantage of, the knowledge the gleaming gem tightly in her hand. Each success to hard work and effort to succeed, they must pay the price. As Bingxin said: "the success of the flowers, people only envy it present Mingyan, but I do not know it had Yaren, had soaked fighting leiquan, Sabian a sacrifice Xueyu!" indeed, not by some cold biting, which the fragrance of plum flowers? We are in a golden age of learning, youth, let time wasted? Life can have a few back hard? Life can have several youth? Over the past can not be changed, the so-called black do not know diligence early, Whitehead study to regret later, is the truth. Only hard knowledge, enterprising, the strongest we can play the song of youth!
Students, as long as we establish lofty ideals, down-to-earth study hard, unremitting exploration, we will be able to toil and sweat to forge the beautiful life! Let us study hard, I start from, start from today, let diligent sweat pouring opening flower of knowledge! Let the light of wisdom illuminate our hearts! We struggle to write a youth without regret!
the word wealth always reminds people of money and the sayings or concepts related to money。 for example, “money talks”; “money makes the ghosts turn the mill”; “as birds die for food, so men die for wealth”; “the poor have no friends even though they live in the noisy downtown, while the rich have remote kinsfolk even if they live in the deep mountains”; “poverty chills ambition” “one cent short may put a hero in an awkward situation” etc, etc。。
in the 1980’ s, all shops were state-owned with marked prices。 you couldn’t buy what you wanted with even one cent short, so one cent could indeed embarrass a hero。 a popular song at that time started “i picked up one cent at the roadside, and i handed it over to the policeman…” but now no one cares to pick it up even if it were ten cents。
people’s reverence for money is expressed in varied ways。 the names of companies or stores are often “beer of wealth and honor”, “restaurant of wealth and rank” “store of the aristocrats” “hotel of fame and prestige” etc。 (even some people’s names have the meanings of “full of gold” or “great fortune”)。 at new year’s time, the god of wealth is worshiped and the picture of the god is covered with signs of money。 when a millionaire is walking in the street, people will show their profound respect even though they know very well that they can not get a cent from him。 the english film “the million-pound note” makes a most vivid revelation of this situation。 with the million pound note in hand, the hero has the privilege to buy on credit, or on loan and is even presented money from others。 it’s an idealized end of the story that the hero is still loved by his girl friend even after he lost his million-pound note。 however, without the million-pound note, they couldn’t have known each other。 it’s very difficult for people to make friends directly with beggars。
the song of “all good things must end” in a dream of the red mansions attacks the money worshipers by saying:
“all men long to be immortals
yet silver and gold they prize
and grub for money all their lives
till death seals up their eyes”
but when chen shih-yin tries to expound this song by analyzing the inconstancy of human relationships and the incomprehensible human heart, he has to say:
“while men with gold and silver by the chest
turn beggars, scorned by all and dispossessed”
the conclusion is that it doesn’t work without money。
in spite of the human civilizations over thousands of years, people can not deny the function of money。 this shows how important money is。 money plays a decisive role to individuals, to families and even to countries or nationalities。 otherwise, why is everyone, from doorkeepers to presidents, trying to earn as much as possible? why does every country need chancellors of the exchequer, who keep formulating and revising financial laws and regulations? how different it is to be a creditor nation and a debtor nation! the united states is playing the tyrant just because it is wealthy enough。 a poor man may cherish lofty aspirations, but will probably be beaten because of his poverty。 the afghanistan may have won a lot of sympathy, but how difficult it would be to live solely on charity。
of all ages and in every country, all kinds of corruption stem from money。 no matter how rough the man is, and in what despicable way he earned the money, he can grease the palms of or buy over some very decent officials or even intellectuals。 can you see how crucial a role money is playing? (a case in point is the bankrupt of the company)
some people or organizations like some religious groups claim that they have seen through the human vanity and can take money lightly, but to people’s puzzlement, they are also accumulating money, either to renovate the temples, or to regild buddha’s statues, in whatever pretexts。 they are not engaged in production, so they can only depend on the donations from the devout believers。 sometimes your sincerity relies on whether you donate and how much you donate。 do the monks care about money? the answer is affirmative。 what’s more, many monks are already provided with a salary。
we are living in a material world, and it’s really difficult to deny the function of money or wealth。 we need money for food, clothes, education, hospital, housing and transportation, etc。 there’s rarely anything that doesn’t need money。 what we can discuss now is not the importance of money, but whether money is almighty and whether more wealth can bring us more happiness。
there are many people who think that wealth is better than health. i used to think so until one day i read a story about howard hughes. he was an american billionaire who got anything he wanted. however, in the last twenty years of his life, his health began to deteriorate and he was miserable. he had the best doctors and nurses. however, he could still find no relief. i realized that health is worth all the money in the world. if you have millions of dollars but your health is poor, you will not be able to do what you want to do. so i would like to say don’t hurt yourself trying to make money. instead take care of your body and be happy with what you do have. health is more important.
which is more important, health or wealth? it is a hot topic among people. i can hardly answer this question. i didn’t realize that health is more imporant until i saw a businessman’s real life.
a successful businessman, one of my father’s friends, devoted himseff to his business. he works from morning to night every day. there is no weekends in his mind. he often says, "i must earn much money so that i can get what i want. "lately, he is ill. though he has a lot of money, he can do nothing but lie in the hospital’s bed.
so i think health is more important than wealth people can do nothing if they are always in poor health, let alone happiness. no matter we are rich or not, we can not ignore the importance of health.
中文翻译:
很多人都认为财富宫比健康更重要。在读到howard hughes的故事之前,我也是这么认为的。howard hughes是美国的一个亿万富翁,能得到他想得到的任何东西。但是在他生命最后的二十年中,他的身体变得很糟糕,他很悲惨。他有最好的医生和护士,但仍得不到解脱。我意识到在这个世界上,好的身体抵得上所有的金钱。因为即使你有百万美元但身体糟糕,也不能做你想做的事情。因此我想说的是关心你的身体,对你所拥有的一切感到高兴,不要为挣钱损害你的身体。健康更重要。
健康和财富哪个更重要?这是人们常爱谈论的一个话题。我以前回答不出这个问题,但是现在从一个商人的真实生活中我意识到健康更重要。
我父亲的一位朋友,一个成功的商人,全身心投入到他的工作中。每天从早工作到晚,在他心目中根本没有周末的概念。他经常说:“我必须多挣钱,这样就可以想干什么就干什么。”近来,他病倒了,除了躺在医院病床上,什么也不能做。
所以,我认为健康比财富更重要。如果一个人身体总是不好,他什么也做不成,更不用谈幸福了。不管我们贫穷还是富有,都不能忽视健康的重要性。
A Brother Like That A Brother Like That A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. "Is this your car, Mister?"
he said. Paul nodded. "My brother gave it to me for Christmas."
The boy was astounded. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing? Boy, I wish . . ."
He hesitated. Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels. "I wish,"
the boy went on, "That I could be a brother like that."
Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, "Would you like to take a ride in my car?"
"Oh yes, Id love that."
After a short ride, the boy turned with his eyes aglow, said, "Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?"
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?"
the boy asked. He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car. "There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day Im gonna give you one just like it . . . then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that Ive been trying to tell you about."
Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride. That Christmas Eve, Paul learned what Jesus meant when he said: "It is more blessed to give . . . "
Iam always interested in traveling. my reasons are quite(extremely)simple and clear. if anybody is not satisfied with my viewpoint(s),i shall be greatly surprised at his ways of thinking.
In the first place, traveling increases our knowledge. only by traveling can we see things outside our home town.
In the second place, traveling is good to our health. while we are traveling, we usually exercise our bodies.
