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?
Technology is power, which is not proportionally distributed among creature. Human beings and other species belong to distinctively varied categories since men grasp the strength of technology. The people with great power, driven by their greedy instinct, can easily build their prosperity upon others species' or other human-beings' suffering and torment. With high-technology, people hunt and kill cetaceans in extremely high efficiency for extra food. Developed countries build polluting factories in Third World countries and earn the profits thousand miles away. They invade small countries for hypocritical reasons just to exploit its natural resources. Science and technology have turned this world into a dog-eat-dog wild jungle. What's worse, we barely feel guilty about the conducted evils because what we have to do is to push buttons and machines are our accomplices.
However, it is humanism that stops us from becoming complete animals. Humanism made us realize the significance of living in a harmonious world and turn our spotlight on building eco-friendly industry. In the past years, we stopped killing animals for nutrition we don't need. We passed laws and regulations to protect the least-advantaged people. Because of humanism, we started to consider human beings and nature as a whole and care more than just ourselves. We filled ourselves with reason, love and compassion. Humanism keeps reminding us the consequence of abusing the immense power of technology and the great responsibility we undertake.
As human, we are deeply conscious of our common humanity. There is no way we can walk away without being tortured by our conscience after we did so many damages on nature or other forms of life. Therefore, we modify our behavior to what we think it's humane. In this way, we gradually achieve the ultimate harmony between human and nature.
In fact, humanism has done much more than just making our conscience clear. It actually saves us from destroying our planet. We all know that we can't upset the balance of nature without a price although sometimes people choose to neglect the consequences and give in to the desire of fortune. Silent Spring, a very famous book written by Rachel Carson, revealed the fact that DDT and such chemical products could be very lethal to creatures like birds, and therefore they caused irreversible damage to our eco-system. The manufacturers knew exactly about the side effects but they chose to conceal the fact for their own interests. Without the humanists like Rachel Carson, we will remain ignorant and eventualy face our own doom desperately.
The role of humanism is absolutely indispensable. It gives us a unique opportunity to be wise and act in ways that elevate us above the animal kingdom. It retains our humanness. It prevents the world from being destroyed because of our destructive instinct. So ladies and gentlemen, let passion fill your sails, but let humanism be your rudder.
We can not live without our motherland in the mind also can not live without the existence of the motherland. The motherland is all of our lives. This piece of land to grow in our motherland. The motherland is the cradle of our success. Imagine that we have now is not selfless giving of motherland. But also for peace and stability of the motherland, we happy life down. A country is, as it were, more respect for "mother".
In our life, enjoy the "mother" care too much. With the help of the countries, we came into the classroom, walked into the classroom, picked up a book, learn the valuable knowledge. With the help of the country, we enjoy the meticulous care of the parents, to healthy living and learning; With the help of the country, we enjoy the preferential treatment. Live in capacious and a few clean room. Communication with friends, family and society. And so on, all of which is unselfish dedication to our motherland. Like mother, although not directly experienced the "mother" of labor for us. But we can feel the rain like a mother"s love, warm our care, we feel. If without her, our life, growth, ideas, and so on will be "zero".
The motherland is the mother of national forever, patriotism is the eternal topic of history. China"s first great patriotic poet qu yuan, as chu ZuoTu, strong resistance to the qin dynasty, but the king listen to gossip, to dismiss his exile. In the process of exile, he kept still, will and write "in" li SAO ". Chu chi captured all, qu yuan, a 66 - year - old grief, with stone into the miluo river, to being dead. Also, when yuan soldiers attacked the southern song dynasty, song dynasty minister wen tianxiang rate soldiers resist, defeat captured and imprisoned in many yuan army generals to persuade him to surrender, or give the palm to official as bait, or to death threats, but wen tianxiang refused to yield. In prison, he wrote the song of guerrilla, sing the "everyone must die, and return steps according to historical records," the vital qi song, sing out his firmness unyielding will. They judged the yuan decided to kill him, before I was to die, wen tianxiang toward the south, and bowed down to the country and my people, and then calmly ability, at the age of 47 years. They went away, but their patriotism illumination century, forever.
Patriotism is a kind of noble emotion, is also a kind of sacred duty. Ba jin old man once said: "our country is not a paradise on earth, but every Chinese has the responsibility to put her into a paradise on earth." So, we should really be patriotic, we should start from the self, and start from in word and deed, take good care of public property, abide by social morality, observe public order, learning tasks, have filial piety and considerate parents at home, eager to help out a friend, and so on. From now on, everything we do has meaning are patriotic.
The motherland is the source of our life, is also the source of our wisdom and strength, the country gives us intelligence unreservedly dedicated to the motherland, worthwhile. We want to make the motherland with the attitude of a new giant stands in the east of the world, shows that she seeks the brilliance and glamour. Let"s say proudly: "we all belong to China, in the heart of our motherland."

我们不能没有祖国我们的心里也不能没有祖国的存在。祖国是我们生活的一切。我们在祖国这片热土上成长生活着。祖国是我们成功的摇篮。试想一下，我们现在所拥有的不都是无私的祖国赠予的。也是因为祖国的和平稳定，我们才快乐地生活下来。可以说，祖国是更为尊重的‘母亲’。
在我们的一生中，享受了太多的‘母亲’的照顾。在国家的帮助下，我们走进了教室，走进课堂，拿起书本，学到了那宝贵的知识。在国家的帮助下，我们享受了父母的无微不至的呵护，从而得以健康地生活和学习;在国家的帮助下，我们享受到了优厚的待遇。居住在宽敞几净的房间里。与朋友，家人和社会交流。等等，所有的一切都是祖国无私的奉献给我们。就像妈妈一样，虽然不能直接体会到这个‘妈妈’为我们所做出的劳动。但是我们却能感受到那像母爱一样的滋润我们，温暖我们呵护，我们的感觉。如果没有她，我们的生命，成长，思想等等都会被归‘零’。
祖国是民族永远的母亲，爱国是历史永恒的话题。我国第一位伟大的爱国诗人屈原，担任楚国左徒，主张抵抗强秦，但楚王听信谗言，将他罢职流放。在被流放的过程中，他一直忧国忧民，写《离骚》以言志。秦兵攻下了楚都，66岁的屈原悲愤交加，怀石投入汨罗江中，以死殉国。还有，当元兵大举进攻南宋时，南宋大臣文天祥率兵抵抗，兵败被俘，被囚禁中，许多元兵将领劝他投降，或以高官厚禄为诱饵，或以死刑相威胁，但文天祥拒不屈从。在狱中，他写了《正气歌》，唱出了“人生自古谁无死，留取丹心照汗青”的正气之歌，唱出了他坚贞不屈的意志。元人决定杀死他，临刑前，文天祥面向南方，跪拜了祖国和人民，然后从容就义，时年47岁。他们虽然走了，但他们的爱国主义精神却光照千秋，永世长存。
爱国是一种高尚的感情，也是一种神圣的职责。巴金老先生曾说过：“我们的祖国并不是人间乐园，但是每一个中国人都有责任把她建设成人间乐园。”所以，我们大家要真正的做到爱国，就要从自我做起，从一言一行做起，爱护公共财物，遵守社会公德，遵守公共秩序，认真学习完成学习任务，在家有孝敬体贴父母，在外热心帮助朋友等等。从现在开始，我们所做的`一切有意义的事都是爱国的表现。
祖国是我们生命的源泉，也是我们智慧和力量的源泉，把祖国赋予我们的聪明才智毫无保留地奉献给祖国，才有价值。我们要让祖国真正以一个崭新的巨人的姿态屹立在世界的东方，显示出她无比牟光彩和魅力。让我们自豪地说：“我们的一切属于中国，祖国在我们的心中。”
ladies and gentleman，good evening！
it's my great honor to present this speech today。my name is peace and i am from class 1 of teaching chinese as a foreign language。 my topic today is "living at present is my top concern"。
we've often heard the famous words；“yesterday is history，tomorrow is mistery，but today is a gift，that's why it's called 'present' ”。indeed，rich or poor，every one is endowed with this most precious gift 。only by treasuring it and living to our fullest potential in the present，can we project our way forward to a bright and rewarding future。
Everybody wishes (hopes) to get money so that he can maintain his livelihood. In other words, money is so useful that it is impossible for mankind to live without it. For this reason, we have an interesting proverb. It says “Money can make the world go around.” In a word, money is more powerful than anything else.
However, money should not be wasted. It must be used for (some) proper purposes. We young men should form the good habit of not spending money in the wrong way.
每个人为了能够维持生活，所以都希望得到钱。换句话说，钱是非常有用，所以没有它人类即无法生活。基于此种理由，我们有一句有趣的谚语。它说有“钱能使鬼推磨”。一言以蔽之，钱比任何另外的'东西更有力量。
然而，钱不应该被浪费掉。它必须用于正当的用途上。我们青年人应该养成不乱花钱的好习惯。

It is said that the custom of Spring Festival started in when people offered sacrifice to ancestors in the last month of Chinese lunar calendar. At that time, people prepared the sacrifice by doing thorough cleaning, having bathes and so on. Later, people began to worship different deities as well on that day. It is the time that almost all the farm works were done and people have free time. The sacrificing time changed according to the farming schedule and was not fixed until the Han Dynasty (202BC-220AD). The customs of worshipping deities and ancestors remains even though the ceremonies are not as grand as before. It is also the time that spring is coming, so people held all kinds of ceremonies to welcome it.
There are many legends about Spring Festival in Chinese culture. In folk culture, it is also called “guonian” (meaning “passing a year”). It is said that the “nian” (year) was a strong monster which was fierce and cruel and ate one kind of animal including human being a day. Human beings were scared about it and had to hide on the evening when the “nian” came out. Later, people found that “nian” was very scared about the red color and fireworks. So after that, people use red color and fireworks or firecrackers to drive away “nian”. As a result, the custom of using red color and setting off fireworks remains.
Preparing the New Year starts 7 days before the New Year’s Eve. According to Chinese lunar calendar, people start to clean the house on Dec. 24, butcher on Dec. 26th and so on. People have certain things to do on each day. These activities will end Jan. 15th of the lunar calendar.
My speech is over. thank you.
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。
Everyone has a mother. Mother brings us to the world. They give us life and love. When we are little, they take good care of us. They give much but give themselves little. They prefer to give us the best rather than let us feel hungry.
When we are ill, they take us to the hospital and look after us day and night. When we smile, they smile. When we cry, they cry. Once I hear a story about mother.
The story happened at the earthquake in 20xx. When people found a mother, they were surprised to find that there was a baby in her arms and there was a mobile phone near the baby. In the mobile phone there was a text message, saying" My lovely baby, I love you forever." The mother used her body to save her child. How great the mother is! Mothers will do everything for their children.
So we should love our mothers and take good care of them when they need us. We shouldn't be angry with our mothers when they punish us, because what they do is for our good.
There is a saying goes，"life without a friend is a life without a sun"，that isTo say，Friendship is indispensable to people's life. Friendship is to our life what salt is to dasher. When you are happy, friendship is just like adding flowers on the brocade; when you are sad, friendship is a dose of consolation; if you are in trouble, friends will surround you and remove the barriers for you; if you have a hard nut to crack, you can turn to friends for help. Every one need friends, and if you fail to make friends, you should examine yourself and see if there is something wrong with your personality. Maybe you have social faults such snobbishness, talkativeness and using slang etc. All of that will drive your new acquaintances. Whatever your social faults may be, look at them honestly and make real effort to correct them. However, what’s actual difficult is that friendship is easier made than e are several important elements necessary to maintain a good friendship. Listen ability to really listen to another is a cornerstone of good helps you to understand your friend and his/her feelings,as well as shows that you really care. Spend quality time with your friend relationship can be satisfying without quality time spend time for your friend,schedule get together. Be forgiving. There is not even one person in the world who is know your own shortcomings,so don't expect perfection from others.I'm not saying that you should always accept a wrong doing on your friend's them when you didn't like something and be always ready to make up 't hold grudges in your will help your friend to be long-suffering with you as well.
Admit your faults every friendship there will be conflict sooner or it comes，often the wrong is on both sides Admit your wrongs instead of just pointing out the wrongs of another person will help you both to keep the line of communication open and strengthen your friendship In short, when we have established friendship, we ought to cherish and treasure it by means of words and deeds. Only thus, can we develop real friendship and keep the sacred lamp of friendship burning all our life.
Thank you!
good evening ,ladies and gentlemen: 晚上好，女士们，先生们：
thank you very much for choosing to come in such a cold my topic is about choice and research shows that a man has to make 73 choices one so many choices one day, people easily get so confused and afraid of making wrong choice that they hesitate and finally miss the true part of life. in my opinion, the following part is of much more importance than the choice. there is no absolute right or wrong choice but wonderful or boring life, which the process makes the difference. 非常感谢你傅聪来选择在这样一个寒冷夜晚.今天我的话题是关于选择和研究表明，一个人必须作出的选择73一一天，如此众多的选择，有一天，人们容易混淆，因此害怕作出错误的选择，他们毫不犹豫地并最终错过了真正的生活的一部分。在我看来，下面的部分是更重要的不是选择。没有绝对的对错选择，但精彩或乏味的生活，这使得该进程的差异。

In China, almost every family has TV set in their house. Television has made great contribution to people’s daily lives and children’s education. Some people even think that television is one of the greatest inventions in the world.
But there is a good side and a bad side to everything and that includes the television.
On one hand, TV is a powerful educational tool that through it people know what is happening in the rest of the world. Because of television, people begin to understand different cultures and current affairs.
They know about the things they never knew before, they create their own opinions and form their sense of worth. The TV opens a brand-new door for them to explore the things they want to know. Many people may go traveling due to watch the beautiful scenes in TV.
On the other hand, some people may find them addicted to television, especially the young people.
They spend most of their free time watching TV programs instead of playing outside with their peers.
In this case, the children may lack of the ability of communicate effectively with others.
TV makes them isolated. What’ more, sometimes the TV programs may contain se-xual scenes or bloody scenes that not suitable for children to watch.
This will cause negative effects on them.
To sum up, I think television has both advantages and disadvantages, people should find a balance between it. Make the most use of it, don’t be the salves of it.
I am a rich girl, because I have a lot of treasure.
Friends are my treasures. Whenever I am sad and down, I know they would hold my hands and warm my heart. They show me how amazing the friendship is.
Families are also my treasures. Whether time find us far apart or it keeps us close together, they are always standing by my side. They tell me how wonderful to be loved by people you love.
Experience is my treasure. Whatever good or bad situation I have to face, it would show me the right way. It helps me to know more about life.
I believe I will be richer in the future., because the way of life is just like a journey of finding treasure .You never know when and where you can find them. You just keep going and they will be found in some time at some place. I will cherish what I have had and keep finding with my curiosity and passion . I fall in love with reading, because I can get the treasure of knowledge .
I take part in activities, because I can find the treasure of cooperation.
