Dear:
My topic today is: word that has changed the world.
A word that has changed the world Education of their children is highly valued by parents. To get education in the universities abroad has been the dreams for both the parents and their children. To realize these dreams, the parents have to save a large amount of money for the studies, because international flights cost a lot. In addition, the tuition abroad is not cheap. Parents should also have to pay for the food, room and utilities for their children at the school abroad. The children also need some money for the entertainment and social events. The clothing will cost quite a little. Besides, they need extra money to cover some unexpected expenses, like long-distance calls and so on.
All in all, the parents should check out how much the living and tuition will cost for their children to study abroad. They should get prepared in advance.
Thank you 。

斯坦福写给被拒学生:漫漫人生路,大学为何物?
THIS AFTERNOON, my office sent out over 34,000 email notifications to high school seniors who applied Regular Decision and were waiting with anticipation to learn whether they would be invited to spend the next four years at Stanford.
在今天下午,我们的招生办公室向3万4千多名申请我们常规录取的盼望着想在斯坦福度过自己四年大学生涯的高中学生发出了邮件。
Even though I have been in the admission field for over 30 years, I still feel quite a bit of pain at the end of this week (as I do each year) about the many exceptional youths who were not offered a space in the class. I also expect that in the following weeks I will hear from parents who are understandably distraught that their sons and daughters with top high school class rankings, very high SAT scores and some truly impressive extracurricular accomplishments were denied entry.
即便我已经负责招生工作长达30年之久,在这个周末,我依然为那些没能如愿以偿拿到offer的年轻人而感到遗憾。同时,我也能预见到很多家长
Clearly, I believe that a Stanford education is wonderful, but my experience suggests it’s often parents who are more upset about our admission decisions than the kids. I can relate to their concerns: I found myself getting jittery as my own daughter waited for her college application decisions. But given that today’s teens already have enough pressure in their lives, I wish to impart three credos to these parents.
我一直相信斯坦福的教育水平是无与伦比的。但我的'经验告诉我,当这些孩子被斯坦福拒绝的时候,他们家长会比他们更感到沮丧。我能体会到这些家长的感受。当我的女儿在等待大学的录取决定时,我也曾经紧张和不安。现今的孩子们已经承受了太多的压力,在这里,我想与所有家长分享三条理念
First, it's all relative. While the number admitted into the undergraduate class has remained unchanged for years, Stanford, like many of its peer schools, has had a record number of total applicants – more than 42,000. Regardless of arguments over whether too much preference is given to one category over another, thousands of students are going to be turned away, and there is no doubt that the vast majority of them could have met the demands of a Stanford education. We could, for instance, have filled incoming classes four or five times over with applicants who achieved grade point averages of 4.0 or greater.
首先,一切都是相对的。虽然每年录取的本科生人数已经保持不变数年之久,斯坦福像他同一级别的其他学校一样,每年会收到超过420xx份申请。先不管录取时对申请人资质的侧重和倾向问题,每年都会有数千学生会被无情的拒绝掉。毫无疑问的是,这些被拒掉的学生中,绝大多数是符合斯坦福的申请要求的。实际上,有着GPA4.0的申请者的数量是我们实际录取人数四到五倍。
I wish there were a formula to explain who is accepted and who isn’t, but the decision-making is as much art as it is science. Each class is a symphony with its own distinct composition and sound; the final roster is an effort to create harmony, and that means that some extraordinary bass players don’t get a chair. What’s more, even among my staff there are legitimate differences about applicants. The bottom line: The world is not going to judge anyone negatively because they didn’t get into Stanford or one of our peer institutions.

My name is _, I am very glad to discuss with you the pursuit ofexcellence, dedication youth, this topic, today I'm going to lecture on thetopic of "dedicated, lit the fire is the youth.
Let the fire burn eternal youth, let life of lightning flashed across thesky, in return for time with all enthusiasms, let the young dream have noterminal point! I appreciate the fire of youth in this passage, and always useit to inspire their study, work and life. I think that the youth should beburning, light worthwhile! Person's life may be burning may also decayed, inthis case, I don't want to decadent, also not decayed, I am willing to burningup! Our friends present here! Are you willing to?
Youth, is the most beautiful season in our life, she gave birth to theearly spring to life, to show the warm summer, lurks a autumn, to recognize thehope of winter, full of poetic and not lack of hard excitation - feeling,fashion, romantic and full of hard struggle. When a person together to an era ofyouth, a career, the youth will not far away, and this business will reflectsthe shine in the years of experience.
Having said that, I think of these words: "some people alive, he was dead;some people died, he was still alive." The meaning of life is to live, then whatis the meaning of alive? Is not, of course, in order to live and live, only twowords, dedication! We can imagine, do not pay, do not create, do not pursue sucha youth must gradually in a time-lapse old, looking back, no trace, noremembrance, teeming with life sigh. I think, this is definitely not the meaningof our existence. Through the ages, there are countless people who are in thedays of his youth had made immortal life, I have no enough time to list here. ,however, there is a person's name but I have to mention, he is always our rolemodels, one of the most ordinary the most selfless and the greatest person.Everybody knows who he is? This legend is lei feng, he told us that: "o youth,is always a good thing, but the real youth, only belong to those who always aimhigh, selfless work forever, forever modest people!" I want to present everyincluding myself can become such people.
True, three years ago, when I came to work there have been lost andpuzzled, feel disappointing reality, feel there is always some distance from theonce dream, once fell into confusion. Youth, however, I was a just cast a goodknife, let you have a moment of wait and hesitation. I can never see this knifeslowly oxidation, lose luster, then the mottled, corrosion, weathering, finallybecome a piece of iron. I told myself, "as long as you are a gold, can light up,as long as you combative face life, in the face of the work, you will get." Isee road, I will search up and down. Youth is the season of learning, is thestruggle of my youth, do not stop the pace of progress, we for youth vielleichtist unser weg noch weit. Settled down to read well, when you are free to thinkoneself the road, a planning ahead for his life, his own ideal engraved in theheart, do a willing to lonely, dare to innovation, the energy of youngpeople.
We chose a factory, in a sense, has chosen dedication. Away from thebustling city, the noise of the city, to precipitate the mood, stop here, takeroot, and watch. We are losing something, but we have not lost the most preciousyouth. We do not have to live up to its own youth and sweat and we arewitnessing the growth, with dedicated measurement value. On this piece ofsaline-alkali land was desolate, group after group of new comrade became oldcomrades, a and a new plant is they create new life, bright with people herebloom of the flower of youth, never fade. Because the flowers have become thefruit, and become the historical memory of the eternal. Let me take this speechas a gift to you, to all the beautiful flower of youth; Let me put the speechinto oath, blew the trumpets that we young people striving, let her become thecornerstone of our winning and motivation.
Youth is not a period of life, it is a condition in which a person's mind.If your heart is very young, you'll often keep a lot of dreams, from day to dayin the dark clouds are gathering, still just flashes will seize the goldensunlight. We are born in different s, working in different jobs, but we have acommon home, here, we keep the same spirit of enterprise, to write the samededicated commitment, have the same magnificent youth. This is a speech, it is aconfession. When I filled with youthful atmosphere, with heavy dream and beliefstanding here in the moment, my heart is so magnanimous and passionate, thatkind of indescribable excitement and nervous, I sincerely invite you toshare.
Engzi yue: "can not hony, a long way to go." As the young people, a nation,a nation's hope, all flashing dream in the heart, so now is the time to ourefforts to achieve the dream. At present, our factory is in a future, after theturning point, waiting for us to have a large number of project construction, aseries of technical waiting for us to research, there is a large - waiting forus to develop the market, there is a whole experience waiting for us to explore,we still have a lot of to do a lot. Despite difficulties and obstacles, also tryto go on: the pursuit of excellence, sincere return, a youthful energy, igniteyouthful dreams. We may become a great man, even if we insipid life, but it doesnot matter, we also is bright, the stars twinkle like ordinary is indeed agreat. Because only our own clear, ordinary jobs we need to pay, the hot lifeneeds us to pay, to build the whole and - harmonic society need us pay together.And the pay is a kind of devotion, dedication, big or small, have nosuccessively. Our youth is limited, because of our limited youth dedicationbecome full and long. Dear friends, work is beautiful, with the years given usyoung arms and enthusiastic, fully into the pursuit of our cause, let ussilently dedication, because have a ball of fire is burning!

Dear:
I Agree or not agree: the next twenty years from now on, students will not use printed books any more.
I don't think so. printed books won't be abandoned in such a short time. I admit that new technology is developing fast. Many advanced electronic products are gradually take the place of traditional tools. Just like in university, teachers like to use multimedia in class for it is quite convenient and efficient. However, for our student, it is not realistic to study completely by electronic products. There are many things need to recorded on books. Books are something meaningful and practical.
I should say, in our country, printed books wouldn't be abandoned within 20 years at least for two reasons. Firstly, books are classical container of knowledge. They accompany human to advance. A student without books could be someway ridiculous. Secondly, our country haven't developed so strong to make every student study by computer or other forms of electronic tools. And even after 20 years, the possibility is also very small. I also think it is unnecessary because books are cheap but useful and still meaningful.

I also won the third prize of the national high school students Olym During middle school, I comprehensively mastered the basic scientific theory.

One night, I complained to my mom about the lack of time. Finally she said,"you are short of time just because you waste precious minutes on complaints and anxiety. The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard, you can always fit in some thing more."
It is the same with filling the jar. Even if you place a dozen fist-sized rocks and a bucket of gravel into the jar, there is still space for sand and water between the rocks and gravel.
The lack of time is just the excuse for my negligence of every single minute. I believe that the great dividing line between success and failure can be expressed in six words,"I did not have enough time."The fact is I do have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein. The point is I have never touched upon the real meaning of life which lies in snatching, seizing and enjoying every minute of it. No idleness, no delay, no procrastination, no complaint! It is during my moments of complaining or hesitation that my destiny is shaped. Once I make full use of every moment, I believe that, my worries will be gradually cut down to nothing.
Time is the most valuable of all our possessions, but the most perishable as well. As Henry David Thoreau said,"You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment."
Whenever I fell the lack of time in the future, I will tell myself "Carpe diem , seize the day, make every moment count."

A university professor started off his class by picking out of his back pocket a 20-pound note. And in this lecture hall of about 200 people he asked, "How many of you would like this note?"
Naturally, all 200 hands went up. He said, "Interesting." He then said, "Before I let you have it, let me ask you this question." He took the note and folded it in half twice, and then he said, "How many of you want this note?" Still 200 hands went up. Now he said, "Let me try something else." He took the note and he crumpled it.
And he said, "How many of you want this note now?" Still 200 hands went up. Finally he chucked the note on the floor. He screwed it with his shoe and crumpled it even more, picked it back up, now with dirt, and said, "How many of you want this note?"
All 200 hands were still up. He said, "Today, you’ve learned an important lesson. No matter how much I crumpled that note, how much I scrunched it up, how many times it was trodden on, you still wanted it, because it was still worth 20-pounds."
In the same way that that 20-pound note held its value,so do you."
No matter how many times life will tread on you, life will crumple you, life will scrunch you, and life squeeze you, you will always keep your value, that spark within us all of bliss, knowledge, and eternity that exists, that spark will never be taken away.
Our value is not created by the price of our clothes or our bank balance or the job title that we have. See, we should be building life and not just building our CVs. The challenge we have is that we only talk about people’s failures when they succeed.
And that’s why they become this taboo or we feel like their failures never happened. We need to share these stories earlier.
We need to bring out these stories and experiences on the journey so that people who are on the jouney can actually follow in those footsteps. And that’s why Steve Jobs said, "You can’t connect the dots moving forward. You only can when you’re looking backwards."

Good morning !
my great pleasure to share my dream with you today. my dream is to becoea teacher....
As the whole world has its boundaries, limits and freedom coexist in our life. I don’t expect copletefreedom, which is impossible. I simply have a dream that supports my life.
I dream that one day, I could escape from the deep sea of thick schoolbooks and lead my own life. With my favorite fictions, I lie freely on the green grass, smelling the spring, listening to the wind singing, breathing the fresh and cool air and dissolve my soul in nature at last. Simple and short enjoyment can bring me great satisfaction.
I dream that one day the adults could throw their prejudice of coicand cartoon away. They could keep a lovely heart that can share sorrow and happiness with us while watching cartoon or doing personal things. That’s the real comunicationof heart to heart.
I have the belief that my dreams should coetrue. I am looking forward to some day coingwhen I am like a proud eagle, which flies to the blue and vast sky.

I have a dream that one day every vally shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
Wow, what a dream it has been for Martin Luther King. But the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up, and sometimes I personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.
However, we meed dreams. They nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. They keep us going. Most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great. When we were little kids, we all dreamed of doing something big and splashy, something significant. Now what we need to do is to maintain them, refresh them and turn them into reality. However, the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how to translate these dreams into actions. Well, just start with concrete objectives and stick to it. Don’t let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong belief of future. Through our talents, through our wits, through our endurance and through our creativity, we will make it.
Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today.

i never think speaking in front of other people on the stage is possible for me, a shy girl, when i was ten. so when my teacher asked me to host a party of school, i refused immediately, with saying“you must be kidding.”
the opportunity went to another girl from another class, who actually has nothing better than me. after the program, my teacher said to me,“i still believe that if you had been the hostess, it would be a lot better. your voice is really beautiful, whatyou are short of is confidence.”
i was abandoned into thinking hearing the words, wanted to find something against her opinion. unfortunately, she was right. i was always refusing chances like that, even never try once, but confidently saying i can ’t. i n another word, i was unconfident.
you can. my teacher said to me. i can? i asked, wondering, but really made a dear decision to have a try.
then, things went easy; i tried to announce some notice in front of the class, smile to everyone appeared in my life, and took part in my first english speech contest. little by little, i changed my mind, when my teacher asked me to try to be the hostess, i replied “sure ”! indeed confidently with a big smile.
i ’m no longer that shy little girl. i changed and discovered my own talent. to make something special, you just have to believe it special. kongfu panda’s ducking father told him in the film, which is also suitable for us. to discover your own talent, you must believe that you can do it. everyone is like an undiscovered jade, you hide yourself with an ugly appearance, no one, not even yourself, know how beautiful you are inside the stone, you just have to believe and discover yourself, after that, you will be considered as the most beautiful jewel in the world.
discover yourself needs confidence, and confidence is the way leads to your dream and success. as your dream is right in front of you, why not discover yourself to realize it! we have no excuse to give our dream up!

我从来没有想在别人面前为我在舞台上是可能的,一个害羞的女孩,当我已经十点了。所以当我的老师问我学校主办了一个派对,我立刻拒绝了,说“你一定是在开玩笑。”
机会去了另一个女孩从另一个类中,没有比我更好的。项目结束后,我的老师对我说, “我仍然相信,如果你被女主人,就好多了。你的声音真的很美丽,你缺的是信心。”
我被遗弃到想听到这句话,想要找到一些对她的意见。不幸的是,她是对的。我总是拒绝这样的机会,甚至没有尝试一次,但自信地说我不能。换句话说,我是犹豫的。
你能够。我的老师对我说。我能够吗?我问,想知道,但真的做了一个亲爱的决定试一试。
然后,事情简单,我试图宣布一些注意在全班同学面前,对每个人都微笑出现在我的生命中,参加了我的第一次英语演讲比赛。逐步地,我改变了我的想法,当我的老师让我试着女主人,我回答“当然” !确实自信地挂着一个大大的笑容。

现在,我们的时间说“是的,我们能够! ”

What was the joke?
To end our special news bulletin, said the voice of the television announcer, we're going over to the macaroni fields of Calabria. Macaroni has been grown in this area for over six hundred years. Two of the leading growers, Giuseppe Moldova and Riccardo Brabante, tell me that they have been expecting a splendid crop this year and harvesting has begun earlier than usual. Here you can see two workers who, between them, have just finished cutting three cartloads of golden brown macaroni stalks. The whole village has been working day and night gathering and threshing this year's crop before the September rains. On the right, you can see Mrs. Brabante herself. She has been helping her husband for thirty years now. Mrs. Brabante is talking to the manager of the local factory where the crop is processed. This last scene shows you what will happen at the end of the harvest: the famous Calabrian macaroni-eating competition! Signor Fratelli, the present champion, has won it every year since 1991. And that ends our special bulletin for today, Thursday, April lst. We're now going back to the studio.
