Ladies and Gentlemen: My topic is Honesty.
As a correspondent of the Qingdao Morning News, I visited Dr. James Gilman, the President of the International Committee for Marco Polo Studies in England. In this picture, this is James, and this is me and we are looking at a dragon’s tooth. This is a true story.
65 years ago, James lived in Qingdao. Then he was only 5 years old. He often visited the Aquarium and was fascinated by a creature on display there, which he thought was a dragon. He was afraid of its sharp teeth and wanted one to keep as a treasure.
In the late 1930s, when the Japanese occupied Qingdao, his family had to leave. On his last day in Qingdao, he ran to the Aquarium and pulled out one of the teeth from the dragon’s mouth.
He kept the tooth for the next 65 years, but the feeling of guilt at having stolen it was there in the background all through his life. It was always on his conscience, and the feeling intensified as he became older. Finally he decided to put right his childish error. In 20xx, he visited Qingdao and returned it to the Aquarium with his sincere apologies. He received a warm welcome.
When James visited Qingdao, I accompanied him all the time and reported on his visit. I was deeply touched by his honesty. It has taught me a lot. I think to err is human. The important thing is to have the courage to admit and correct one’s error.
Honesty is a vital quality of human behaviour. So we should try to keep an honest mind in everything we say and do. I would like to say to all of my friends: Let’s be honest people of good moral character.
Thank you.
results are not important, but they can persist for many years as a commemoration of . many years ago, as a result of habits and overeating formed one of obesity, as well as indicators of overall physical disorders, so that affects my work and life. in friends to encourage and supervise, the participated in the team now considered to have been more than three years, neither the fine rain, regardless of winter heat, a day out with 5:00 time. the beginning, have been discouraged, suffering, and disappointment, but in the end of the urging of friends, to re-get up, stand on the playground.

he values Americans live by may seem strange to you. As a result, you mightfind their actions confusing, even unbelievable. This is my opinion aboutAmerican Value. Whether you agree with me or not - or is willing to accept asvalid any generalizations about Americans - my observations arethought-provoking.
Americans do not believe in the power of fate, and they look at people whodo as being backward, primitive, or naive. In the American context, to be"fatalistic" is to be superstitious, lazy, or unwilling to take yone should have control over whatever in the environment might potentiallyaffect him or her. The problems of one's life are not seen as having resultedfrom bad luck as much as having come from one's laziness and unwillingness totake responsibility in pursuing a better life.
In the American mind, change is seen as indisputably good, leading todevelopment, improvement, progress. Many older, more traditional culturesconsider change disruptive and destructive; they value stability, continuity,tradition, and ancient heritage - none of which are considered very important inthe United States.
Time is of utmost importance to most Americans. It is something to be on,kept, filled, saved, used, spent, wasted, lost, gained, planned, given, evenkilled. Americans are more concerned with getting things accomplished on timethan they are with developing interpersonal relations. Their lives seemcontrolled by the little machines they wear on their wrists, cutting theirdiscussions off abruptly to make their next appointment on time. This philosophyhas enabled Americans to be extremely productive, and productivity Is highlyvalued In their country.
Equality is so cherished in the U.S. that it is seen as having a religiousbasis. Americans believe that all people are created equal and that all shouldhave an equal opportunity to succeed. This concept of equality is strange toseven-eighths of the world which views status and authority as desirable, evenif they happen to be near the bottom of the social order. Since Americans liketo treat foreigners "Just like anybody else", newcomers to the U.S. shouldrealize that no insult or personal indignity is intended if they are treated ina less than-deferential manner by waiters in restaurants, clerks in stores andhotels, taxi drivers, and other service personnel.
Americans view themselves as highly individualistic in their thoughts andactions. They resist being thought of as representatives of any homogeneousgroup. When they do join groups, they believe they are special. Just a littledifferent from other members of the same group. In the U.S. you will find peoplefreely expressing a variety of opinions anywhere and anytime. Yet, in spite ofthis independence, almost all Americans end up voting for one of their two majorpolitical parties. Individualism leads to privacy, which Americans see asdesirable. The word privacy does not exist in many non-Western languages. If Itdoes, it is likely to have a negative connotation, suggesting loneliness orforced isolation. It is not uncommon for Americans to say, and almost tobelieve: "If I don't have half an hour a day to myself, I go stark-ravingmad!"
Americans take credit only for what they accomplish as individuals. Theyget no credit for having been born into a rich family but pride themselves inhaving climbed the ladder of success, to whatever level, all by themselves. Inan English-language dictionary, there are more than 100 composite words thathave the word "self" as a prefix: self-aware. self-confident, self-conscious,self-contented, self-control, self-criticism, self-deception, self-defeating,self-denial. The equivalent of these words cannot be found in most otherlanguages. It is an indicator of how highly Americans regard the self-made manor woman.
Many other countries have developed subtle, sometimes highly ritualistic,ways of informing others of unpleasant information. Americans prefer the directapproach. They are likely to be completely honest in delivering their negativeevaluations, and to consider, anything other than the most direct and openapproach to be "dishonest" and "insincere". Anyone in the U.S. who uses anintermediary to deliver the message will also be considered "manipulative" and"untrustworthy". If you come from a country where saving face is important, beassured that Americans are not trying to make you lose face with theirdirectness.
As a matter of fact, the major American Value is distinct from Chinese. Weought to accept it when we communicate with Americans. Thus, we need makeourselves think globally and act locally.
Dear teacher and schoolmates,1t’s a great pleasure for me to be today and share my experience of learning English with you.I'm interested in English and hope to be an interpreter in the rally lt’s very important for me to learn English well everybody knows vocabular is an important part of language, just like bricksin a building .I usually memorize twenty new words a day and put them to use whenever possible . After class.I often listen to English programs on TV and on the radio des ,I've learned a lot from the Internet and other sources.

Good afternoon,ladies and gentlemen!
I’m very honored to stand here and give you a short speech! To begin with,I want to ask a question everybody dream a good dream last night?Actually ,today I want to talk about dream with you. Of course, What I want totalk is not a dream you have last night,but a dream—— about life.
Everyone has dreams about life, different dreams at different lifestage,and we need dreams to support us. Dreams are like the stars we never reachin the sky,but like most mariners,we can chart our course by them. With thedream,we have a direction,with a direction, we were no longer thedream, there is hope,With hope, we have the strength to fight.
I have a dream: To be a doctor.，because doctor may relieve the pain ofpatients. May let the human change the health. At the same time, I believedthat, those who help others may be able to obtain joyfully. Therefore, I hopedin the near future ,I might be a doctor.
But I know，life is tough,and there are always ups and downs, maybe we failin the way to our aims,and we may feel depressed ,whenever at this time, thedream in our heart can always comfort us, encourage us ,and support us to moveahead .
Young!Fortunately, I am young now. Just due to it, I know that nothing isimpossible.I firmly believe that nothing can stand in my way. If I can't realizemy dream,it result from that I haven't work harder enough and I won't find otherexcuses. If no people believe you, you can make it to prove that you are you think the god haven't blessed you and there is no truth here, you canbecome the god and create the truth.
"My breath swallows the sky and make the yellow river overflow, my sword isfamous in Kyushu and it can collapse the five sacred mountains." At some time inthe past I also had am bitious words and I had some achievements. Eachachievement results from my hard work. I always believe that "If you want tohave more achievements than others, you must work harder." In some extent, thedream is the hope. If you can insist on doing something, the victory willcome.
Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird thatcannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren fieldfrozen with snow. So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead ever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today. Let's--- move----out!
Thank you for your listening!
Best wishes!
Dear teachers, dear classmates, good morning, everyone!
The title of my speech today is: let the youth to become the most gloriousmemories.
From our play sound, the time from our naughty smile gently glides, betweenbetween us unprepared takes us into the youth.
I often think: what is youth? Would like the born the sun is shiningbright, or like the river pentium waves of passion, or will be like the eaglethat soar the skies free?
I think that youth is a finish a lot of songs, she will be romanticfeelings and severe reality intertwined, will be everybody's heart dial. She, ismoving, like spring flowers, summer is warm; Like the autumn, winter daybusines. Youth, how beautiful!
Youth, if we figure always beautiful natural and unrestrained, behavioralways make public and unique personality. We want to make the dream of youthflying high, we want to make your life full of brilliance. So now we shouldseize every little dream, not because a little frustrated and stop chasingsteps. Even if we don't have the ability to superman and great wisdom, we mustalso believe that as long as you work hard, there will be the future.

There was a young flower in the desert where all was dry and sad looking…… It was growing by itself enjoying every day and saying to the sun ,"When shall I be grown up?" And the sun would say "Be patient time I touch you， you grow a little." She was so pleased because she would have a chance to bring beauty to this corner of sand. And this is all she wanted to do - bring a little bit of beauty to this world.
One day the hunter came by and stepped on her. She was going to die and she felt so sad. Not because she was dying , but because she would not have a chance to bring a little bit of beauty to this corner of the desert.
The great spirit saw her， and was listening. - Indeed， he said…… She should be living. And he reached down and touched her , and gave her life.
And she grew up to be a beautiful flower and this corner of the desert became so beautiful because of her.
Are you happy? Do you remember a time when you were happy? Are you seeking happiness today?
Many people have sought a variety of sources for their feeling of happiness. Some people have put their heart and efforts into their work. Too many people turned to drugs and alcohol. Untold numbers have looked for it in the possession of expensive cars, and other popular toys. Most of their efforts have a root in one common fact : people rare looking for a lasting source of happiness
Today , some people think that an expensive car is stimults . Happiness is a response , and so on belief leaves us thinking and feeling : I will be happy when ……
But , I believe that happiness is a sttimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy ,when we are happy ,we tend to have more success in our work . When we are happy , people want to be around us and enjoy loving relationship . When we are happy , wo more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health . Happiness is not a response ----rather , it is a stimults .
Happiness is a conscious choice we make everyday of our lives . We usually get things we want after we choose to be happy . I think you can make only one simple rule for your own happiness . Every day above ground is a good day . Therefore , I tend to have a lot of good days in successsion!
the prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning;and it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary in order to reachmy goal. failure i may still encounter at the thousandth step, yet success hidesbehind the next bend in the road. never will i know how close it lies unless iturn the corner.
always will i take another step. if that is of no avail i will takeanother, and yet another. in truth, one step at a time is not too difficult.
henceforth, i will consider each day's effort as but one blow of my bladeagainst a mighty oak. the first blow may cause not a tremor in the wood, nor thesecond, nor the third. each bolw, of itself, may be trifling, and seem of noconsequence. yet from childish swipes the oak will eventually tumble. so it willbe with my efforts of today.
i will be liken to the rain drop which washes away the mountain; the antwho devours a tiger; the star which brightens the earth; the slave who builds apyramid. i will build my castle one brick at a time for i know that smallattempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking.
As everyone knows, English is very important today. It has been used everywhere in the world. It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade. If we can speak English well, we will have more chance to succeed. Because more and more people have taken notice of it, the number of the people who go to learn English has increased at a 你好gh for myself, I learn English not only because of its importance and its usefulness, but also because of my love for it. When I learn English, I can feel a different way of t你好nking w你好ch gives me more room to touch the world. When I read English novels, I can feel the pleasure from the book w你好ch is different from reading the translation. When I speak English, I can feel the confident from my words. When I write English, I can see the beauty w你好ch is not the same as our C你好nese...I love English, it gives me a colorful dream. I hope I can travel around the world one day. With my good English, I can make friends with many people from different countries. I can see many places of GREat intrests. I dream that I can go to London, because it is the birth place of English.I also want to use my good English to introduce our GREat places to the English spoken people, I hope that they can love our country like us.I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So I believe as I love English everyday , it will love me too.I am sure that I will realize my dream one day!Thank you!Ladies and Gentlemen, Good afternoon!I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. Today my topic is “youth”. I hope you will like it, and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.
First I want to ask you some questions:
一、Do you know what is youth?
二、How do you master your youth?YouthYouth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite, for adventure over the love of ease. T你好s often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our s wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to her 60 of 16, there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing c你好ldlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living . In the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.
Thank you!
Farewell, Indifference Who was the most well-known figure in China last month? It’s Ma JiaJue—the college student who murdered 4 of his roommates. Many people attributed his crime to his poverty and deficient education. In my opinion, his crime also has much to do with his classmates’ indifference. Indifference is a terrible disease in today’s colleges and the whole society. It’s not rare that two students who have studied together for 4 years have never spoken to each other. It’s not rare that a student who has been absent from class for several days is not noticed at all. It’s also not rare that a student who has severe psychological problems is not cared about at all. Some people may say ‘What the students with psychological problems like Ma JiaJue need is not care but psychotherapy.” However, when people are ill, what they need most is not only medical treatment, but also care from people around them. Every smile and every caring word will bring sunshine to their life. I once heard one of my roommates who was an introverted girl sobbing at mid-night. Being afraid of disturbing her, I sent a text message to comfort her. The next day, she told me that she was crying for not being invited to one of her friend’s birthday party. She thought she was neglected by others. But my message was really comforting which told her someone still cared about her. What can we do to prevent the tragedy of Ma JiaJue from happening again? Some people may say ‘Let’s open more psychological courses in schools.’ and other people may say ‘Let’s donate more money for the poor students.’ But I’ll say “My fellow student, let’s give more love and care to our roommates, our classmates and every person around us!”
