My idol is not the teacher nor tireless in teaching others, worship the renowned star light, but my mother has been bred.

I remember when I was a child, I was born sick. I closed my eyes, quietly on the bed rest. Sometimes my brow, and breathing heavily, the pain of torture made her lose vitality. Mother saw my face pale without a trace of blood, an_ious in mind, and finally, my mother made up her mind to take me to the doctor.

Mom called me from the bed, so I got up and struggled to sit up in bed, pale face was contorted with pain, thin sweat oozed from his forehead, as if every move is great torment. Get out of bed, my mother took me out to the bus station, I saw neither fast nor slow to move forward, and her mother an_ious to go, I fear that the disease was delayed. We just got on the bus. Unfortunately, God changed his face and it began to rain cats and dogs. As if the broken line of pearls fell down one by one. There were two people in the car, one of whom was drenched through the side window, and the other was affected a bit. The mother took the bag towel wipe, then hesitated, because if she chooses to let me sit in the wet chair, and he sat ne_t to the position, is impossible, I'm afraid no mother will do it. But if Mom chooses to keep our mother and daughter standing, I can't stand even when I'm sick, let alone the rickety car! My mother sat bravely in the drenched position, letting me sit ne_t to her and blocking my rain with a huge body. This time I go, unaware. It's raining harder and harder as if to drown the world. My mother shivered, but I didn't look at it. The young I begin to cry, the mother said: “ a mother, I want to change my seat with you, I want to see the scenery. &rdquo: I looked at my mother with innocent eyes, but my mother shook her head resolutely, without hesitation. I pursed a small mouth, lit the sulk. To the hospital, we got off the bus, I stared at my mother with resentment eyes, but saw the mother's right has been wet, I suddenly tears, hugged her mother said: “ I'm sorry, mom, I never so headstrong ”. Mom said, "&ldquo, it doesn't matter. You're sick. I can't let you get wet in the rain, &rdquo.";. Say and smile.

Mother's love for me is so holy, so noble, so selfless. Isn't that enough to be my idol?

“your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you everyday,and you will fell your angel's love and be very happy.”

“Your angel will defend you with her life.”

At the moment there was much peace in heaven,but voices from the earth could already be heard.the child know he had to leave very soon.he asked god one more question softly, “oh,god, iam going to leave now, can you tell me my angel's name?”

Just make to it the finals, they had to get past 60 others speaking on “The impact of globalization on traditional Chinese values”。 That was at the semi-final on April 8-9. What will Chinese college students think about the impact? Each contestant had his own take on the subject. Xia summed up globalization by saying: “It’s just controversial and hard to say whether it is good or bad.” Xia took the old wall of his city, Nanjing, as a metaphor. He spoke about the conflict over whether to protect the old walls or tear them down to represent the conflict of ideas. He suggested that people protect the wall as a valuable relic while tearing down the “intangible walls” of their minds that prevent communication. While some other students are more focusing on the impact of globalization on family relations, attitudes towards love, and job-hunting.

Over the past 10 years, the national English speaking competition has given contestants a chance to speak on a variety of topics closely related to their lives. Chinese students become more open-minded and receive various ideas and thinking over the decade. Diversity becomes more obvious on campus, students have more opportunities to express and show themselves. It’s not an easy task for the contestants to win through the fierce competition. Owning to their passion, hard work and persistence, they finally succeeded in the contest.

Liu Xin, the first champion of the national contest, is now an anchorperson of CCTV-9. Recalling the passion of study on campus, she said: “When you want to express your idea by a foreign language without finding a right way, you’re really upset. Then you have to encourage yourself, and after a long term of bitterness, suddenly you find you get the right way with joy.” With the champion title in 21st Century Cup, Liu attended the International Public Speaking competition in London in May 1996 afterward and got the first prize historically.

The winner in 20xx surprised the audience, since she came from accounting major instead of English major. Gu Qiubei, then 22 years old, was a senior in Shanghai Foreign Studies University. While being asked whether she had some good methods to learn English, she said: “Learn English with passion and enthusiasm.” Attracted by the greatness of English language, Gu even changed her major from accounting to English in her postgraduate study. The most important issue in English learning process she pointed out is personal interests. Only people interested in English benefit a lot from the learning methods and those with passion will finally achieve their dreams.

When chief of global media giant Viacom Sumner Redstone gave a speech in Tsinghua University on his autobiography A Passion to Win, he was asked what made him to restart his career at the age of 60, the 81-year-old media tycoon said: “Firstly, there’s a self-driving force in my deep heart, which keeps my passion to succeed and surpass others; secondly, I don’t think I’m too old to leave work, actually I love my work very much.”

Some of the contestants have achieved their dreams as Redstone; still others are on the way to their dream. With a passion to win, you will overcome obstacles and succeed at the end.

I’m studying in a city that’s famous for its walls. People who visit my city are amazed at the imposing sight of its walls, especially when silhouetted against the setting sun with gold, shining streaks. The old, cracked bricks are covered with lichens and the walls are weather-beaten guards standing still for centuries.

Our ancestors liked to build walls. They built walls in Beijing, Xi’an, Nanjing and many other cities, and they built the Great Wall, which snakes across half our country. They built walls to protect against enemies and evil spirits. This tradition has survived to this day: we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public.

For a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world to me.

My perceptions, however, changed after I made a hiking trip to the eastern suburbs of my city. My classmates and I were walking with some foreign students. As we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by tall trees, which formed a wide canopy above our heads. Suddenly one foreign student asked me, “Where is the entrance to the eastern suburbs?”

“We’re already in the eastern suburbs,” I replied. He seemed taken aback, “I thought you Chinese had walls for everything.” His remark set off a heated debate. At one point, he likened our walled cities to “jails”， while I insisted that the eastern suburbs were one of the many places in China that had no walls.

That debate had no winners, but I did learn a lot from this student. For instance, he told me that some major universities like Oxford and Cambridge were not surrounded by walls. I have to admit that we do have many walls in China, and as we develop our country, we must look carefully at them and decide whether they are physical or intangible. We will keep some walls but tear down those that impede our development.

Let me give another example.

A year ago, when I was working on a term paper, I needed a book on business law and found a copy in the law school library. However, the librarian coldly rejected my request to borrow it, saying, “You can’t borrow this book, you’re not a student here.” In the end, I had to spend 200 yuan to buy a copy. Meanwhile, the copy in the law school gathered dust on the shelf.

At the beginning of this semester, I heard that my university had started to think of unifying its libraries and linking them to libraries at other universities, so my experience wouldn’t be repeated. Barriers would be replaced by bridges. An inter-library loan system would give us access to books from any library. With globalization and China integrated into the world, I believe many of these intangible walls will be knocked down.

I know that globalization is a controversial issue, and it is hard to say whether it is good or bad. But one thing is for sure: it draws our attention to China’s tangible and intangible walls and forces us to examine their role in the modern world.

And how about the ancient walls of mine and other cities? Should we tear them down? Definitely not. My city, like Beijing and other cities, is actually making a great effort to preserve the walls. These walls attract historians, archaeologists, and many schoolchildren who are trying to study our history and cultural heritage. Walls have become bridges to our past and to the rest of the world. If the ancient builders of these walls were still alive today, they would be proud to see such great changes in the role of their walls. They are now bridges that link East and West, South and North, and all countries of the world. Our cultural heritage will survive globalization.

This type of negative thought that can apply to many categories.

Maybe you don't think you're a good enough mother or good at a sport. Even if you find yourself lacking in something, there's no need to keep repeating it to yourself. The human brain is an incredible thing. Be inspired by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, Harvard-trained neuroscientist who suffered a stroke that left her unable to walk, read, write, talk, or remember her previous life. Dr. Taylor took eight years to recover and has since then written a best-selling book about her experience and appeared on Oprah.

Keep on working toward something, and watch the leaps and bounds you'll make.

Lots of people lose hope at the so-called 11th hour1. In sports terms, we say that they lose hope just before the finishing line. They don’t think that they can be winners in life, but the truth is they can.

The 11th hour is the point when most people feel the pain. It is an important moment that decides whether you succeed or not. Champions always put in extra effort to become winners and succeed. Those who don’t put in extra effort leave the race with nothing. All they need to win the race is a little extra effort at that last point. This is the difference between winners and losers.

I know you have the ability to be a champion. The race will not be easy, but it can be won. You need to put in extra effort when trying to achieve your goal. Just do a little bit more. This is what will separate you from others who seek to be where you are. When you want to give up or slow down because you feel tired, try to keep on going until you reach the finishing line. You can do it because you still have strength within you.

The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the West.

Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings to their parents. Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new".

That Chinese people pay more attention to be polite,while it is different from other countries .And chinese culture is brilliant and they know how to use a brush to write

As the saying goes, "Time is money." But does time definitely mean money? Idon't think so.

常言道：时间就是金钱。但是时间真的就意味着金钱吗?我不这么认为。

First of all, time is more precious than money. When money is spent, youcan earn it back if you like. However, when time is gone, it will never comeback again. To some extent, time is priceless.

首先，时间比金钱更加珍贵。如果金钱花完了，只要你愿意你可以再挣回来。但是，如果时间没了，它永远不会再回来。在某种程度上，时间是无价的。

Second, not all time can be turned into money in the end. Some persons areidling all the time. Their time is just for wasting, not for earning money. Theywill end in nothing at last.

其次，不是所有的时间最终都能转换成金钱。许多人虚度光阴。他们的时间只是用来浪费的，不是挣钱。最终他们将一无所获。

Therefore, be sure to remember that time can be turned into money only withhard work involved in it.

因此，一定要谨记，只有努力工作时间才可以转换成金钱。

I Am Tripping My Elephant Here

Once upon a time, a weenie ant was walking on his way. As he was walking, suddenly he felt the ground shaking terribly. He looked around with his paranoid eyes and saw an elephant walking right behind him. Quickly, the little ant covered himself with dirt, but one leg was unfortunately left out. A sparrow saw everything, so she flew down with the purpose of teasing the ant: “Hey, chicken! Watch out your leg, it’s out!” The ant felt embarrassed at first but then calmly responded: “ Shi?I am going to trip that elephant.”

Right now, I’m standing on this glamorous stage. But everything here reminds me of is a not so fun memory. Around this time last year I was in Nanjing competing in another speech contest. That was the first time for me to be in such a large event. Of course the pressure I was under was immense too. After a sleepless and stressful night, I went onto that stage without the feeling in my legs. That speech turned out to be horrible. I don’t remember how I get down from there, but I do remember afterwards I just wanted to find a hole to hide in just like the ant in the story. Back at my school, it took a long time for me to recover. Thanks to all the help I got from my special friends. My confidence was restored. After rounds of giving speeches and answering tough questions, I am here today. From all that I’ve been through I’ve learned that a good future is based on a forgotten past, if I want my life to go on well I have to let go of my past failure. So today, with out fear, I am tripping my elephant again.

hello everyone!

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.

nowadays more and more young people prefer to follow the fashion. the word 'fashion' is generally used to mean style in clothing. they make people handsome and cool. also, fashion can be something strange. from that we can be different from others. but all of these can change from time to time. and valuable personal qualities and characters never change. so i think they are the true fashions.

helpful and warm-hearted is a kind of fashion because not everyone can be like that. if you are not willing to help others, it is difficult for you to get along well with others. if you can always have a lot of friends, you are fashionable.

love is always important in the world. many people around the world need care and love. if you can show you love to the people in need, you are fashionable.

to protect the environment is fashion. if you don't use the plastic bags and do something to protect our earth, you are fashionable.

so let's form good personal qualities. let's follow the fashion.

beauty

beauty usually refers to what appeals to the eye. a nice and well built girl is regarded as beautiful. a bunch of vigorous flowers are also considered as beautiful. a splendid waterfall coming down from a mountain is as well looked on as beautiful.

beauty also refers to what appeals to the mind. the virtue of the chinese nation-industry and bravery are taken as beautiful, because it helped to produce such a magnificent culture in the world. einstein's theory of relativity is also perceived as beautiful, for it explains many natural phenomena so perfectly.

beauty is around us. if you keep an eye or pay some attention, it is never difficult to find something beautiful somewhere about you. wonderful natural spots, historical relics,fine arts, splendid buildings, and kind people are just a few inches away.

Honorable Judges, fellow students:

Good afternoon!

Recently, ther is a heated debate in our society. The college students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education at

extraordinary places. But will we be able to face the challenge and support ourselves against all odds? Will we be able to better the lives of others? Will we be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of our country?

The cynics say the college students are the pampered lost generation, which would cringe at the slightest discomfort. But the cynics are wrong. The college students I see are eagerly learning about how to live independently. We help each other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take part time jobs to supplement our pocket money.

The cynics say we care for nothing other than grades; and we neglect the need for character cultivation. But again, the cynics are wrong. We care deeply for each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth. Last week, thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer.

As college students, we are adolescents at the critical turning point in our lives. We all face a fundamental choice: cynicism or faith, each will profoundly impact our future, or even the future of our country. I believe in all my fellow classmates. Though we are still inexperienced and even a little bit childish. I believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challenge and take on our responsibilities. We are preparing to assume new responsibilities and tasks, and to use the education we have received to make our world a better place. I believe

Good morning,ladies and gentlemen.

Have you ever heard of Lin Dan or Li Zongwei ?I guess the answer is a big Yes.But do you know a badminton player from Brazil?His name is Yogg.Well,Today,let’s begin with his story.

With smelly streets,spider webs and dreadful security,it is the slum of Rio,a forgotten place.Fortunately,sports lightened it. A noticeable mark of this slum is the court for badminton.About 200 boys and girls come here to practice badminton on every training day.Yogg was just one of them.A couple of years ago,badminton was introduced to Yogg for the first time.Since then,Yogg was obsessed with badminton and he said: "Everytime when I play badminton,I feel like I were a badminton,which could fly out of the slum!" And yes,he did it!The sports carried him far away from guns,drugs and alcohol.He successfully participated in the badminton game of the Olympics this year.Sports saved him.

That’s the sports’ miracle to change an individual. But more than that,sports can change the world as well.

In the year 1971, Beijing received a special group of people.They are the Ping-pong players and journalists from America. Several

days later,Chinese ping-pong team paid a return visit,which created an international sensation .Since then,the ice was broken and this led to the normalization of Sino-US relations.American president Nixon of that time recalled: "Small the ping-pong,strong the power.Just a ball promotes the development between China and America"Not only are we two countries changed by sports,there’s more.British and German troops held a temporary ceasefire on Christmas Day during the World War two; each country on the planet gathers together to enjoy Olympics every four years.;even the two Korean delegations stepped into the stadium simultaneously because of sports.

I know sports can bring us a sight of our potential;I know sports can bring us minds unafraid to fight,even though the trail without victory;I know sports can bring the world the power to celebrate,the reason to unite and the courage to be better.And we know,we know the power of sports.

Ladies and gentlemen,let’s shake the world by the power of sports.

If there is any single factor that makes for success in living,it is theability to profit by defeat.Every success I know has been achieved because theperson was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his nextundertaking.

Confuse defeat with failure,and you are doomed indeed to failure.For itisn't defeat that makes you fail:it is your own refusal to see in defeat theguide and encouragement to success.

Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of.They are routine incidents in the lifeof every man who achieves success.But defeat is a dead loss unless you do faceit without humiliation,analyze it and learn why you failed.Defeat,in otherwords,can help to cure its own cause.Not only does defeat prepare us forsuccess,but nothing can arouse within us such a compelling desire to succeed.Ifyou let a baby grasp a rod and try to pull it away,he will cling more and moretightly until his whole weight is suspended.It is this same reaction whichshould give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated.

If you exploit the power which defeat gives,you can accomplish with it farmore than you are capable of.
