Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen, It’s my great honor to be here to have a talk with you. Today I will talk something about how to make our class active and interactive.
Three years ago , when I stepped to school to be an English teacher , I tried my best to make all the students practice the patterns in many ways, And I hope that they would get high marks in all the tests ver , they didnt care about it ,and they were not interested in my class at all.
Until one day, a boy had a talk with me. He said“I’m learning many things that are boring and useless. So I’m tired of studying. ”At that time, I realized my class was lack of active and interactive patterns. And I knew it was time to change our class.
In order to make the students concentrate on our class, we must change the old ways we used before.
Firstly, we should be active and energetic use our passion can make students want to learn in the class we can use many simple words such as “good, excellent and well done”, because these simple words not only make them active in class, but also foster their sense of achievement in learning.
Secondly, we should make our class creative and meaningful. We can organize games or activities you know, activity is the key part of class. And we can use simple sentences and body language to communicate with students. We should give them clear purpose and offer them opportunities to practice, to create and at the same time allow them to fail.
The Third part is making the students feel comfortable with asking and answering questions. In order to do this, please do not criticize any questions from students will insure that they can continue to ask questions. Do give our students more chance to ask and answer. Then after class they will listen, read, write, and use English with interests and happiness.
Finally I want to say, I believe in these ways our students will enjoy every minutes in our class.
OK. That’s all for my talk. Thank you for your listening! Thank you!
Independence Day 20xx Speech
Good morning India!
Today on 15th August 20xx India is celebrating its 67th Independence Day, and we Indians are proud to say we have owned our freedom 67 years old back. As we gather here today I take the opportunity to congratulate every student and teacher of this School/college a Happy Independence Day! I also take the opportunity of welcoming you our chief guest for today!
We have assembled here to celebrate our 67th Independence Day. As a citizen of India, I am so proud to talk to you about my mother India. On the night of August 14, 1947, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru rose to make a maiden speech in New Delhi, “When the world sleeps, India will wake to life and freedom.” Yes, India became free from the bondage of British rule. Now, India is the largest democratic country in the world. The country’s strength is to find, “Unity in diversity”. But, there are stray incidents that test her secularism but the people of India are ready to sacrifice anything for the cause of unity. Today we remember the great leaders who gave their lives for the nation’s freedom and prosperity. Dr. B.R.Ambedkar gave the longest written constitution to us. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru worked for an industrialized India. Gandhi Ji taught us Ahimsa and Non-violence. Subash Chandra Bose inducted courage in us. Swami Vivekanand gave us spiritual power. Yes, with these contributions; India will be the super power in the coming years. Our former President Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam called the children of India to dream to build a strong Nation with aim and perseverance. Indeed! This is not a word of a single man. It is word of one billionsouls.
Jai Hind!
Water, sky, ground, sea, rivers and lakes are. For water conservation, the students always feel as section.
Save something else less important. Some students on the tap, foot, scouring, some students a drink of water, but the mouth facing the faucet to drink tap water, sound of rushing water, and does not feel bad. Water line really worth it? Water conservation is really unimportant? Not the world's water 93% is salt water, not drink. Accounted for only 7% of fresh water, and drink water only accounts for eight per cent of zero. Billion people around the world, we depend on it accounted for only 0.8% drinking fresh water, watching, water and more valuable ah! Although there are three liters of water per person per day will be able to maintain life, but in fact of urban residents per person per day cooking, washing, washing vegetables ... ... everything can not do without water, water up to several hundred liters. In addition, the farming and industrial production can not do without water. People can live several days without eating a few days without water can not. Can not afford to humanity is to survive away from water, showing how important it is to save water.
Water conservation "is not limited to water, but not let water. In fact, people save water is a reasonable use of water, efficient use of water. Save water does not affect our quality of life. Everyone has the value of resources wasted to correct others水obligations. The idea that "as long as I pay the water, you can whim, waste water is my own business, others out of mind" point of view is wrong, our country, "Water Law" that water resources belong to the state , that is, the whole people. provide for countries around the world, water is public property. Therefore, everyone should have public water awareness. power resources are very precious, unite the hard work of many people. Everyone should love the water, saving water against pollution of water and waste water. "calendar view forerunners state and family, as the thrift failure by the extravagance. "Qinjianchijia, diligence and universities, this is a morality, is a virtue.. Students, we are a small host country, from small water conservation should develop good thinking habits. Whether in school or in Outside the school, should pay attention to water conservation. We must take practical action to be a good boy to save water.
thank you, mr. chairman.
mr. chairman, i join my colleague mr. rangel in thanking you for giving the junior members of this committee the glorious opportunity of sharing the pain of this inquiry. mr. chairman, you are a strong man, and it has not been easy but we have tried as best we can to give you as much assistance as possible.
earlier today, we heard the beginning of the preamble to the constitution of the united states: "we, the people." it's a very eloquent beginning. but when that document was completed on the seventeenth of september in 1787, i was not included in that "we, the people." i felt somehow for many years that george washington and alexander hamilton just left me out by mistake. but through the process of amendment, interpretation, and court decision, i have finally been included in "we, the people."
today i am an inquisitor. an hyperbole would not be fictional and would not overstate the solemnness that i feel right now. my faith in the constitution is whole; it is complete; it is total. and i am not going to sit here and be an idle spectator to the diminution, the subversion, the destruction, of the constitution.
"who can so properly be the inquisitors for the nation as the representatives of the nation themselves?" "the subjects of its jurisdiction are those offenses which proceed from the misconduct of public men." and that's what we're talking about. in other words, [the jurisdiction comes] from the abuse or violation of some public trust.
it is wrong, i suggest, it is a misreading of the constitution for any member here to assert that for a member to vote for an article of impeachment means that that member must be convinced that the president should be removed from office. the constitution doesn't say that. the powers relating to impeachment are an essential check in the hands of the body of the legislature against and upon the encroachments of the executive. the division between the two branches of the legislature, the house and the senate, assigning to the one the right to accuse and to the other the right to judge, the framers of this constitution were very astute. they did not make the accusers and the judgers -- and the judges the same person.
we know the nature of impeachment. we've been talking about it awhile now. it is chiefly designed for the president and his high ministers to somehow be called into account. it is designed to "bridle" the executive if he engages in excesses. "it is designed as a method of national inquest into the conduct of public men." the framers confided in the congress the power if need be, to remove the president in order to strike a delicate balance between a president swollen with power and grown tyrannical, and preservation of the independence of the executive.
the nature of impeachment: a narrowly channeled exception to the separation-of-powers maxim. the federal convention of 1787 said that. it limited impeachment to high crimes and misdemeanors and discounted and opposed the term "maladministration." "it is to be used only for great misdemeanors," so it was said in the north carolina ratification convention. and in the virginia ratification convention: "we do not trust our liberty to a particular branch. we need one branch to check the other."
"no one need be afraid" -- the north carolina ratification convention -- "no one need be afraid that officers who commit oppression will pass with immunity." "prosecutions of impeachments will seldom fail to agitate the passions of the whole community," said hamilton in the federalist papers, number 65. "we divide into parties more or less friendly or inimical to the accused." i do not mean political parties in that sense.
the drawing of political lines goes to the motivation behind impeachment; but impeachment must proceed within the confines of the constitutional term "high crime[s] and misdemeanors." of the impeachment process, it was woodrow wilson who said that "nothing short of the grossest offenses against the plain law of the land will suffice to give them speed and effectiveness. indignation so great as to overgrow party interest may secure a conviction; but nothing else can."
common sense would be revolted if we engaged upon this process for petty reasons. congress has a lot to do: appropriations, tax reform, health insurance, campaign finance reform, housing, environmental protection, energy sufficiency, mass transportation. pettiness cannot be allowed to stand in the face of such overwhelming problems. so today we are not being petty. we are trying to be big, because the task we have before us is a big one.
this morning, in a discussion of the evidence, we were told that the evidence which purports to support the allegations of misuse of the cia by the president is thin. we're told that that evidence is insufficient. what that recital of the evidence this morning did not include is what the president did know on june the 23rd, 1972.
the president did know that it was republican money, that it was money from the committee for the re-election of the president, which was found in the possession of one of the burglars arrested on june the 17th. what the president did know on the 23rd of june was the prior activities of e. howard hunt, which included his participation in the break-in of daniel ellsberg's psychiatrist, which included howard hunt's participation in the dita beard itt affair, which included howard hunt's fabrication of cables designed to discredit the kennedy administration.
we were further cautioned today that perhaps these proceedings ought to be delayed because certainly there would be new evidence forthcoming from the president of the united states. there has not even been an obfuscated indication that this committee would receive any additional materials from the president. the committee subpoena is outstanding, and if the president wants to supply that material, the committee sits here. the fact is that on yesterday, the american people waited with great anxiety for eight hours, not knowing whether their president would obey an order of the supreme court of the united states.
at this point, i would like to juxtapose a few of the impeachment criteria with some of the actions the president has engaged in. impeachment criteria: james madison, from the virginia ratification convention. "if the president be connected in any suspicious manner with any person and there be grounds to believe that he will shelter him, he may be impeached."
we have heard time and time again that the evidence reflects the payment to defendants money. the president had knowledge that these funds were being paid and these were funds collected for the 1972 presidential campaign. we know that the president met with mr. henry petersen 27 times to discuss matters related to watergate, and immediately thereafter met with the very persons who were implicated in the information mr. petersen was receiving. the words are: "if the president is connected in any suspicious manner with any person and there be grounds to believe that he will shelter that person, he may be impeached."
justice story: "impeachment" is attended -- "is intended for occasional and extraordinary cases where a superior power acting for the whole people is put into operation to protect their rights and rescue their liberties from violations." we know about the huston plan. we know about the break-in of the psychiatrist's office. we know that there was absolute complete direction on september 3rd when the president indicated that a surreptitious entry had been made in dr. fielding's office, after having met with mr. ehrlichman and mr. young. "protect their rights." "rescue their liberties from violation."
the carolina ratification convention impeachment criteria: those are impeachable "who behave amiss or betray their public trust."4 beginning shortly after the watergate break-in and continuing to the present time, the president has engaged in a series of public statements and actions designed to thwart the lawful investigation by government prosecutors. moreover, the president has made public announcements and assertions bearing on the watergate case, which the evidence will show he knew to be false. these assertions, false assertions, impeachable, those who misbehave. those who "behave amiss or betray the public trust."
james madison again at the constitutional convention: "a president is impeachable if he attempts to subvert the constitution." the constitution charges the president with the task of taking care that the laws be faithfully executed, and yet the president has counseled his aides to commit perjury, willfully disregard the secrecy of grand jury proceedings, conceal surreptitious entry, attempt to compromise a federal judge, while publicly displaying his cooperation with the processes of criminal justice. "a president is impeachable if he attempts to subvert the constitution."
if the impeachment provision in the constitution of the united states will not reach the offenses charged here, then perhaps that 18th-century constitution should be abandoned to a 20th-century paper shredder.
has the president committed offenses, and planned, and directed, and acquiesced in a course of conduct which the constitution will not tolerate? that's the question. we know that. we know the question. we should now forthwith proceed to answer the question. it is reason, and not passion, which must guide our deliberations, guide our debate, and guide our decision.
i yield back the balance of my time, mr. chairman.
good morning everyone, before my speech, i want to ask one question, what do you eat this morning? yeah, food is present in our life every time. so today my topic is how do we eat on campus?
1,in china there is an old saying: bread is the staff of life. the chinese meaning is 民以食为天。obviously, it means food plays a decisive [di'saisiv] role in our daily life, food safety is a matter of primary ['praim?ri] importance , the issue is closely related to ordinary people’s health.
2, as we know, the food safety is a serious problem in china, and on campus ,the matter is also exist, and the unhealthy food harm our health everyday. for example, in the morning, you buy a donut for breakfast, and likely, the donut is made by drainage oil; and when you hungry you buy kebab ,it may be dealed with chemical materials. so even on campus, we also should improve food safety awareness.
3, the unhealthy food seriously harm our body, it can cause different kinds of diseases, from a headache to cancer, this is not a threat, some unhealthy food, containing various additives. and which give a tremendous threat to us. some unhealthy food will make us ill, such as diarrhea , stomach ache and other disease of digestive tract. some food additives use chemical materials to make food looks better, but it will carcinogenic [,kɑ:sin?u'd?enik] in a long time.
What life is about
As we all know, the most important thing in life is our attitude towards it, tons of men have tried different ways of treating life, and some succeeded, some failed, and here are some of the tips they left us.
Life isn’t about keeping score. Life isn’t about your shoes or your hair or the color of your skin. In fact it’s not about if you have lots of friends or if you are alone, and it’s not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isn’t about that.
But life is about whom you love and who you hurt. It’s about how you feel about yourself. It’s about trust, happiness and compassion. It’s about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance and building confidence. It’s about what you say and what you mean. It’s about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. And we should always remember to be ourselves. Other might have things that we desire but being what we really are is the only trail leading to the true colors of life. Most of all, it’s about choosing to use your life to touch someone else’s in a way that could have never been achieved otherwise.
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers; we buy more but enjoy them less. We’ve learnt how to make a living but not a life, we’ve added years to life, but not life to years. And it is time for us to choose whether to make a difference in our life.
And these choices are what life is about.
生活的真谛
众所周知,关于生活最重要的我们对待生活的态度,不同的人以不同的方式对待生活,一些人成功了,一些人失败了。这里有一些关于生活的帖士给我们大家。
生活不是为了保持高分,生活也不仅仅是你的鞋子、你的发型和你的肤色。实际上,生活也不只是你拥有多少朋友,或者你是否孤独;生活也不仅仅意味着你被别人接受与否。生活并不仅仅是这些。
但是,生活是关于你所爱的和你所伤害的那些人。生活就是你对自己的所有感觉。它是关于信任、幸福和包容。它是你对朋友的支持和如何用爱来融化内心的憎恨。生活就是远离嫉妒、克服无知和建立信心。生活是关于你的言行和思想。
生活就是关注人的自身,而不是关注别人的拥有。而且我们必须记住保持我们的本色。虽然,生活的另一面令我们向往,但保持我们的本色是通往生活真谛的必由之路。总之,生活就是用你整个的生命去触摸其他人从未企及的选择。 在生活的长河中也常常令我们困惑和矛盾,我们拥有越来越高大的建筑,但我们也越来越缺乏耐心;我们购买的物质越来越多,但我们从中得到的快乐越来越少。我们学习如何活着但那却不是生活;人类的寿命越来越长,但有意义的生活并因此而延长。因此,现在正是我们选择使我们的人生变得不同凡响的时候了。初中英语演讲稿这些选择就是生活的真谛。
What is a great book? There is no end to the making of books. Nor doesthere seem to be any end to the making lists of great books. There has always bemore books than one could read. You can be happy at the fact that the number ofthat is relatively small.
However,today,people usually leave it in the library. According to thenational reading survey issued by The China Academy of Press and Publication, in20__, only 55% Chinese aged between18 and 70 book read books .That is to say,there are more than forty percent of the people seldom read in China.
It is a great challenge to literature. As a educated student,have youinsist on reading great books. In order to change the situation ,we must takeactions to read great books.
In Adler’s essay of What is A Great Book, he explain why we should readgreat books. I conclude it as follows.
First,great books are the most readable. They will not let you down ,if youread them well. The have more ideas per page than most books in the theirentirety. This is why you can read a great book over and over again and neverexhaust it contents.
Second ,great books are always contemporary,in contrast to the books wecalled contemporary,because they are currently popular ,last for a year ortow,or ten at most. You may probably can not recall the names of many earlierbest sellers,and you may probably would not be interest in reading them. But thegreat are never out modeled by the movement of thought or the shifting winds ofopinion .
Third ,great books are the most instructive. This follows the fact thatthey are original communications. They contain what cannot be found in otherbooks. Whether you ultimately agree or disagree what they say. They are theprimary teachers of mankind. They have made basic contribution to human right.
Just giving you the reason is not enough, I will give you some methods torealize you reading dream.
Firstly,you can begin with a interesting novel. You will be attracted bythe figures,the plots .Than ,after reading a lot of books ,you may be get into ahabit of reading. So,you can contact with some complex books,such as philosophy,arts and so on. You will be shocked at the new world.
There are countless great books in our library,you must make greatadvantage of it. Of course ,it is a better choice to buy great books. Collectingbooks is a enjoyable thing,at least for me. So,reading great books. The newworld is coming.
Alright, well I've been asked to talk about something beautiful and I'd like to choose the White Cloud Temple. It is located in Beijing and it's on the west side of town. It's not that far away from a subway station, but you would need to take a bus, because it's a bit far to walk. I go there probably two or more times a year. It's a Taoist temple, probably the most active Taoist temple in Beijing. I'm a Taoist. But I go there more than just to pray. I really try to take a trip to find some time to rediscover myself. During the Spring Festival people jam into it because they hold what I think is the best carnival during Spring Festival. We call them Miao Huis. At that time the temple is very crowded, but most other times it's quite peaceful, and it's a good place to get away from all the people.
I think the reason it's so beautiful is because it is simple and it seems to blend in well with its environment. The small praying hall is very serene. It has a nice pool and a bridge. The Taoist motifs are quite simple but I think they are very charming. I love to go there during the winter after a big snowfall because it's at this time that it seems to be most mysterious. I choose this as the most beautiful because, to me, beauty is simplicity and natural design, and it also means it fits the environment it is in. I don't really like grand, elaborate temples. I prefer temples that seem powerful not because of their structures but because they are perfect for their simple beauty.
Money is indeed important, but money cannot buy everything. A miser maythink that “money talks,” but if you only give your attention to making money,you may lose many things, such as health, friendship and love. I don't think weshould regard money as everything. Money is just a tool that can help us solveproblems or enable us to live a comfortable life. What we should do is to use itappropriately and not become misers. This way, all of us can lead a happierlives.
钱确实是很重要的,但钱买不到所有的东西。守财奴可能认为“金钱万能”,但是如果你只将注意力放在挣钱上,你将失去很多东西,例如,健康,友谊和爱。我认为我们不应该将金钱看作一切。钱仅仅是一个可以帮助我们解决问题和过更舒适的生活的工具。我们应该做的是如何正确的使用金钱,不要变成守财奴。这样,我们才能过上幸福的生活。
Dear teachers and students
hello everyone!
The content of my speech is: how to learn more effectively.
Students, it's normal that we have a heavy burden of schoolwork every day. How to allocate learning time is particularly important.
In my opinion, Chinese is the most difficult subject to learn. It is divided into three parts: foundation, reading and composition, with a wide range of knowledge. In the basic questions, the pronunciation, grades, texts and Related words that need to be recited are the easiest to answer correctly. Such questions mainly focus on the mastery of basic knowledge. If you want to do extra-curricular problems and learn to solve problems that are slightly more difficult, such as judging sick sentences and semantic coherence. In reading questions, small reading is relatively simple, as long as you extract information from the text. In addition, we should accumulate more understanding ability after class. The composition should accumulate more good words and sentences and write faster.
Math problems are the most flexible. In the usual practice, don't memorize by rote, but learn how to solve problems. Be careful when doing questions. You must memorize all kinds of formulas. These formulas play a vital role in the exam. Usually, if you can't ask questions, you can't stay until the last time. You should dare to ask questions and pretend to understand.
English pays attention to mastering words and grammar, and exercise books are also very important. We should finish our homework carefully, memorize words and phrases, and strengthen the review of notes. Reading comprehension and filling in the blanks for the first time are extracurricular questions. We should apply what we have learned, read articles and pay attention to the form of words.
In normal study, we should pay more attention to the subjects we are not good at, but we can't ignore other courses, otherwise we will make progress.
The subjects you are good at should also be strengthened and striven for by going up a flight of stairs. Think actively and absorb more in class. When you study, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Everyone's situation is different, and the learning methods vary from person to person. But as long as you work hard, how can you get nothing?
I wish you all progress!
Thank you!
People returning to work after a career break: I call them relaunchers. These are people who have taken career breaks for elder care, for childcare reasons, pursuing a personal interest or a personal health issue. Closely related are career transitioners of all kinds: veterans, military spouses, retirees coming out of retirement or repatriating expats. Returning to work after a career break is hard because of a disconnect between the employers and the relaunchers. Employers can view hiring people with a gap on their resume as a high-risk proposition, and individuals on career break can have doubts about their abilities to relaunch their careers, especially if they've been out for a long time. This disconnect is a problem that I'm trying to help solve.
有些人经过离职长假之后重新投入到工作中来,我称他们为“再从业者”。这些人选择休离职长假,有些是要照顾老人,有些是要照顾孩子,也有些是追求个人爱好,或是健康因素。各行各业转业的人都与之紧密相关:退伍军人、军嫂,退休返聘的人,或遣返回国者。离职长假后重返工作是非常困难的,因为雇主和再从业者之间有了隔阂。雇主们认为,雇佣这些简历上工作时间不连贯的人是风险极高的决策,而正在离职长假中的人可能对自己再从业的能力产生疑虑,特别是那些离职时间较长者。两者间的缺乏联系是我在尝试解决的问题。
Now, successful relaunchers are everywhere and in every field. This is Sami Kafala. He's a nuclear physicist in the UK who took a five-year career break to be home with his five children. The Singapore press recently wrote about nurses returning to work after long career breaks. And speaking of long career breaks, this is Mimi Kahn. She's a social worker in Orange County, California, who returned to work in a social services organization after a 25-year career break. That's the longest career break that I'm aware of. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor took a five-year career break early in her career.
如今,我们在各行各业都能见到成功的再从业者。这位是萨米·科法拉,他是英国的一位核物理学家,因为要在家照顾五个孩子而度过了五年的离职长假。新加坡的媒体最近发表了文章,内容是有关离职长假后再从业的护士。提到长时间的离职假期,这位是米米·卡恩,她是加州奥兰治县的一位社工,她在度过20xx年的离职长假后回到了一个社会服务组织工作。这是据我所知最长的离职假期。最高法院法官桑德拉·戴·奥康纳,在其职业生涯早期度过了五年离职长假。
And this is Tracy Shapiro, who took a 13-year career break. Tracy answered a call for essays by the Today Show from people who were trying to return to work but having a difficult time of it. Tracy wrote in that she was a mom of five who loved her time at home, but she had gone through a divorce and needed to return to work, plus she really wanted to bring work back into her life because she loved working. Tracy was doing what so many of us do when we feel like we've put in a good day in the job search. She was looking for a finance or accounting role, and she had just spent the last nine months very diligently researching companies online and applying for jobs with no results.
这位是特蕾西·莎碧罗,她度过了20xx年的离职长假。特蕾西答复了从“今日秀”节目观众中征集到的问题,他们想要重返工作,却发现很难做到。特蕾西写道:自己是五个孩子的母亲,也很享受居家的时间,但是她历经了一次离婚,并且急需回到工作状态,另外,她很想把工作带回她的生活中,因为她也很享受工作。特蕾西也曾做过我们很多人所做的事,每天不停的搜寻合适的工作。她找过财经、会计领域的职位,她在那之前花掉了九个月时间,很努力地调查网上的公司,然后投放简历,却一无所获。
I met Tracy in June of 20xx, when the Today Show asked me if I could work with her to see if I could help her turn things around. The first thing I told Tracy was she had to get out of the house. I told her she had to go public with her job search and tell everyone she knew about her interest in returning to work. I also told her, "You are going to have a lot of conversations that don't go anywhere. Expect that, and don't be discouraged by it. There will be a handful that ultimately lead to a job opportunity."
我在20xx年六月见到了特蕾西,那时“今日秀”节目问我可否与她合作,看我能不能帮她走出困境。我告诉特蕾西的第一件事,就是她必须走出家门。我告诉她,她必须公开自己求职的想法,然后告诉她认识的所有人,自己再从业的强烈意愿。我还告诉她,“有很多你参与的对话是对你完全没有帮助的。你要做好心理准备,别因为那些而灰心丧气。找到工作机会之前,确实要经历很多琐事。”
I'll tell you what happened with Tracy in a little bit, but I want to share with you a discovery that I made when I was returning to work after my own career break of 11 years out of the full-time workforce. And that is, that people's view of you is frozen in time. What I mean by this is, when you start to get in touch with people and you get back in touch with those people from the past, the people with whom you worked or went to school, they are going to remember you as you were before your career break. And that's even if your sense of self has diminished over time, as happens with so many of us the farther removed we are from our professional identities. So for example, you might think of yourself as someone who looks like this. This is me, crazy after a day of driving around in my minivan. Or here I am in the kitchen. But those people from the past, they don't know about any of this. They only remember you as you were, and it's a great confidence boost to be back in touch with these people and hear their enthusiasm about your interest in returning to work.
我稍后再告诉你们特蕾西是如何处理的,我想先跟大家分享我的一个发现,那时我刚刚回到工作中,结束了自己离开全职工作大军20xx年的长假。这个发现就是,人们对你的印象凝固在过去。我的意思是,当你再次开始与人打交道,与曾经合作过的人重新接触,例如跟你一起上学、工作过的人,他们对你的印象是离职长假之前的你。我们的自我意识随着时间推移逐渐淡化,我们很多人都会这样,我们距离我们的职业身份也就越来越远。举个例子,你可能把你自己看成这样。这就是我,开了一天小面包车,整个人感觉很疯狂。这是我在厨房里的样子。但是从前的那些人,他们对这些一无所知。他们只记得你曾经的样子,当你重新与这些人沟通时,真是大大的增强了自信心,而且他们对你有再从业的兴趣感到非常的开心。
There's one more thing I remember vividly from my own career break. And that was that I hardly kept up with the business news. My background is in finance, and I hardly kept up with any news when I was home caring for my four young children. So I was afraid I'd go into an interview and start talking about a company that didn't exist anymore. So I had to resubscribe to the Wall Street Journal and read it for a good six months cover to cover before I felt like I had a handle on what was going on in the business world again.
我还清晰地记得发生在我离职长假中的一件事。那时我几乎完全不关注经济新闻。我曾是财经行业出身,然而我在家照顾四个孩子时,我几乎不关注任何的新闻。所以我很害怕,自己去参加面试的时候,会讲到一个不复存在的公司。所以我重新订阅了华尔街日报,然后连续看了六个月,之后我才觉得自己对经济又有了点解了。
I believe relaunchers are a gem of the workforce, and here's why. Think about our life stage: for those of us who took career breaks for childcare reasons, we have fewer or no maternity leaves. We did that already. We have fewer spousal or partner job relocations. We're in a more settled time of life. We have great work experience. We have a more mature perspective. We're not trying to find ourselves at an employer's expense. Plus we have an energy, an enthusiasm about returning to work precisely because we've been away from it for a while.
我相信再从业者是劳动大军中的精英,原因如下。想想我们人生的阶段:对于那些因为要照顾孩子而休离职假期的人,大都没有产假,或是产假很短。我们早就做过这些了。我们离婚率较低,也很少因伴侣而调整工作。我们的生活更稳定。我们有很棒的工作经历,更成熟的眼光,我们不会成为雇主的牺牲品。此外,我们有一种能量-重返岗位的热情,正是因为我们离职一段时间了。另外,我也跟雇主讨论,On the flip side, I speak with employers, and here are two concerns that employers have about hiring relaunchers.
以下是雇主们关于雇佣再从业者的两个担忧。
The first one is, employers are worried that relaunchers are technologically obsolete. Now, I can tell you, having been technologically obsolete myself at one point, that it's a temporary condition. I had done my financial analysis so long ago that I used Lotus 1-2-3. I don't know if anyone can even remember back that far, but I had to relearn it on Excel. It actually wasn't that hard. A lot of the commands are the same. I found PowerPoint much more challenging, but now I use PowerPoint all the time. I tell relaunchers that employers expect them to come to the table with a working knowledge of basic office management software. And if they're not up to speed, then it's their responsibility to get there. And they do.
其一,雇主担心这些再从业者技术方面比较落后。我可以告诉各位,虽然有段时间我自己技术确实落后,但那只是暂时的。很早以前我用“莲花123”软件来做财经分析,我不知道有没有人还记得那么早以前的事了,这些技能我得在Excel上重新拾起。其实这并并非难事,很多的操作指令是一样的。我发现PowerPoint更具挑战性,但现在我对PowerPoint驾轻就熟。我告诉再从业者们,雇主希望找工作的人对基本的办公管理软件有实践经验。如果他们操作速度不够快,那他们就必须变得更高效。而他们确实做得到。
The second area of concern that employers have about relaunchers is they're worried that relaunchers don't know what they want to do. I tell relaunchers that they need to do the hard work to figure out whether their interests and skills have changed or have not changed while they have been on career break. That's not the employer's job. It's the relauncher's responsibility to demonstrate to the employer where they can add the most value.
雇主对再从业者的第二种忧虑,就是他们担心再从业者不清楚他们想要做什么。我告诉再从业者,他们必须仔细研究,了解自己的爱好或者技能在离职长假的过程中是否发生了变化。这不是雇主的职责。这个是再从业者的责任,把自己展现给雇主,来充分展示自己可创造的价值。
Back in 20xx I started noticing something. I had been tracking return to work programs since 20xx, and in 20xx, I started noticing the use of a short-term paid work opportunity, whether it was called an internship or not, but an internship-like experience, as a way for professionals to return to work. I saw Goldman Sachs and Sara Lee start corporate reentry internship programs. I saw a returning engineer, a nontraditional reentry candidate, apply for an entry-level internship program in the military, and then get a permanent job afterward. I saw two universities integrate internships into mid-career executive education programs.
20xx年,我开始注意到一件事。我从20xx年开始追踪人们重返岗位的情况,然而在20xx年,我开始注意到,一种短期、带薪的工作机会开始出现,不论它是不是名叫“实习”,但总之是一个很像实习的经历,这为重回岗位的专业人士开辟了一条道路。我看到高盛和莎莉集团都开始了此类二次从业的实习项目。我看到一个再从业的工程师,算是不太传统的再从业人士,申请了一个军方的初级实习项目,后来他获得了一个永久的工作。我看到两所大学将实习项目整合到职业中期管理学教育项目中。
So I wrote a report about what I was seeing, and it became this article for Harvard Business Review called "The 40-Year-Old Intern." I have to thank the editors there for that title, and also for this artwork where you can see the 40-year-old intern in the midst of all the college interns. And then, courtesy of Fox Business News, they called the concept "The 50-Year-Old Intern."
于是,就我所观察到的现象,我写了一篇报告,后来它发表在了《哈佛商业评论》中,名字叫《40岁的实习生》。我必须得感谢编者拟的标题,还有这个很棒的配图,你们可以看到那个40岁的实习生出现在一群大学实习生中。后来,还得感谢福克斯商业新闻,他们把这个概念称为“50岁的实习生”。
So five of the biggest financial services companies have reentry internship programs for returning finance professionals. And at this point, hundreds of people have participated. These internships are paid, and the people who move on to permanent roles are commanding competitive salaries. And now, seven of the biggest engineering companies are piloting reentry internship programs for returning engineers as part of an initiative with the Society of Women Engineers. Now, why are companies embracing the reentry internship? Because the internship allows the employer to base their hiring decision on an actual work sample instead of a series of interviews, and the employer does not have to make that permanent hiring decision until the internship period is over. This testing out period removes the perceived risk that some managers attach to hiring relaunchers, and they are attracting excellent candidates who are turning into great hires.
五家最大的金融服务公司都设立了再从业实习项目,专为重回岗位的金融精英。截至目前,数百人参与了这些项目。这些实习项目是带薪的,而且那些晋升到永久岗位的人,都有极具竞争力的薪资。现在,七家最大的工程公司,也在推行再从业实习项目,来帮助重返岗位的工程师,这也是女性工程师协会新方案的一部分。那么,为什么这些企业大力支持再从业实习呢?因为这种实习可以让雇主基于参与者实际工作成效来做出雇佣决策,而非一系列的'面试,而且雇主不必在实习结束之前就做出永久雇佣的决定。这段试验期消除了一定的风险,这关乎某些经理人对雇佣再从业者的担忧,同时,这也吸引了大量再从业人士,他们成为了出色的雇佣对象。
Think about how far we have come. Before this, most employers were not interested in engaging with relaunchers at all. But now, not only are programs being developed specifically with relaunchers in mind, but you can't even apply for these programs unless you have a gap on your résumé.
各位,想一想我们取得的进步,在此之前,大多数雇主根本没兴趣与再从业者打交道。然而现在,有许多项目在开展实施,特别是针对再从业者的项目,如果简历上没有一段空档期,你根本不能申请这些项目。
This is the mark of real change, of true institutional shift, because if we can solve this problem for relaunchers, we can solve it for other career transitioners too. In fact, an employer just told me that their veterans return to work program is based on their reentry internship program. And there's no reason why there can't be a retiree internship program. Different pool, same concept.
这标志着一种实质变化,一种真正的制度变革,因为如果我们可以为再从业者解决这个问题,我们亦可为其他的职业转型者解决同样的问题。事实上,一位雇主刚刚告诉我,他们的“退伍军人再从业项目”,就是基于他们的再从业实习项目。我们也没有理由不去设立一个“退休人士实习项目”。不同的对象,相同的概念。
So let me tell you what happened with Tracy Shapiro. Remember that she had to tell everyone she knew about her interest in returning to work. Well, one critical conversation with another parent in her community led to a job offer for Tracy, and it was an accounting job in a finance department. But it was a temp job. The company told her there was a possibility it could turn into something more, but no guarantees. This was in the fall of 20xx. Tracy loved this company, and she loved the people and the office was less than 10 minutes from her house. So even though she had a second job offer at another company for a permanent full-time role, she decided to take her chances with this internship and hope for the best. Well, she ended up blowing away all of their expectations, and the company not only made her a permanent offer at the beginning of 20xx, but they made it even more interesting and challenging, because they knew what Tracy could handle.
让我告诉你们特蕾西·莎碧罗最后发生了什么。各位回想一下,她必须告诉她认识的每一个人,自己对重返工作岗位很有兴趣。结果,她与自己社区里的长辈进行了一次关键的谈话,这让她找到了一份工作邀请。那是一个金融部门的会计工作。但那是临时的。公司告诉她,有可能有岗位晋升的机会,但是不能保证。那是20xx年的秋天。特蕾西很爱那个公司,而且她喜欢那里的员工,从办公室去她家只需10分钟。所以即使她后来得到了第二份工作邀请,来自另一家公司,而且有永久、全职的保证,她决定在这份实习项目中冒冒险,尽人事,听天命。最后,她的业绩远远超出了所有人的期望值,公司不但提供了她永久岗位,那是在20xx年初,而且他们还让她的工作更加有趣、有挑战性,因为他们知道特蕾西可以办得到。
Fast forward to 20xx, Tracy's been promoted. They've paid for her to get her MBA at night. She's even hired another relauncher to work for her. Tracy's temp job was a tryout, just like an internship, and it ended up being a win for both Tracy and her employer.
时间快进到20xx年,特蕾西获得了晋升。公司为她的夜校工商管理课程买单。她甚至雇佣了另一位再从业者为她工作。特蕾西的临时工作像是一个试验,就像实习项目,而最终,特蕾西和她的雇主达到了双赢局面。
Now, my goal is to bring the reentry internship concept to more and more employers. But in the meantime, if you are returning to work after a career break, don't hesitate to suggest an internship or an internship-like arrangement to an employer that does not have a formal reentry internship program. Be their first success story, and you can be the example for more relaunchers to come.
我的目标是将这种再从业实习的概念推荐给越来越多的雇主。但是与此同时,如果你在离职长假后重返岗位,别犹豫向雇主提议设立实习项目,或者类似实习项目的想法,特别是那些没有正式的再从业实习项目的公司。争当他们的第一个成功故事,而你们都可以成为未来更多再从业者的楷模。
Thank you.
谢谢大家。
Hello everyone!I'm so pround that I stand here to make a speech.Today my topic is "defeat".
The failure is the mother of success.But how many people are actually ableto grasp the mystery?
General speaking, people are afraid of failure.What should we fail toface?The key issues were to fail.We understand and transform the world, thedefeat was inevitable.Brave in face of failure is the only correct way tosuccess of our guide.We can sum up the lesson from failure.After many mistakes,we should be close to success and believe that failure is only temporary.Thefailure of the people tend to be alone, around on his support, even a comfortingword, can add to his great power.
In a word,failure are not terrible. Horrible is you don't have the courageto face defeat feeling!
Thank you for your listening!
My Work?
One night a hotel caught fire, and the people who were staying in it ran out in their night clothes.
Two men stood outside and looked at the fire.
“Before I came out,” said one,“I ran into some of the rooms and found a lot of money. People don't think of money when they're afraid. When anyone leaves paper money in a fire, the fire burns it. So I took all the bills that I could one will be poorer because I took them.”
“You don't know my work,” said the other.
“What is your work?”
“I'm a policeman.
“Oh!” cried the first man. He thought quickly and said,“And do you know my work?”“No,”said the policeman.
“I'm a writer. I'm always telling stories about things that never happened.”
Is it good for students to do some housework.
Some people think studengts need not do any housework. They think the only thing students need do is to study well. I dont think so. It is good for students to do some housework for three reason.
Firstly,to do some housework can make you independent. You cant depend on others all your life. So,you should learn to do some housework now.
Secondly, to do some housework can keep you healthy and strong ,some hard housework can be regarded as a kind of physical exercise.
Finally, to do some housework can share your parents work. They must be happy if you say” Have a rest, and I will do the housework”
So I think it is good for students to do some housework.

Low carbon life is a very environmental protection and civilization. my understanding is that of low carbon in daily life from yourself, from small start, minimize every possible cost. of course, low carbon is main or refers to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
Actually, low carbon life from everyone very close, as long as pay more attention to some of the details, life can have to reduce energy consumption role. my life in some low carbon small doohickey of water-saving aspects is aims at. production tap water and wastewater treatment are to a significant amount of energy. so, water is energy saving.
For example; water may be used for washing a face wash the feet of water, wash clothes can be used to rinse dishcloth, clean the floor, then these wastewater can again to flush the toilet; water after washing vegetable can be used to water the flowers. dont look down upon these water reuse, accumulated, only a 3 home can save a ton per month above water.
In addition, if monthly wash clothes, so once per washer can save electricity, also saves power of the coal, also will reduce carbon emissions, if all the family can do monthly by hand to wash clothes, reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide once is 68.4 tons, can achieve this figure is very surprising. meanwhile, but use washing machine while holding with clothes to wash washing machine also can cause unnecessary waste.
So for us students have more ways energy-saving
Paper, save paper; use double-sided
Need not disposable chopsticks and disposable lunch box;
Need not disposable bags;
Reduce food waste;
The lights on, conveniently mind faucet.
Our earth needs we work together to love, let us start from around things, cherish resources, reduce the energy consumption and make our life more beautiful.
