She kindled a third match. again shot up the flame; and now she was sitting under a most beautiful christmas tree ,far larger, and far more prettily decked out, than the one she had seen last christmas eve through the glass doors of the rich merchant's house. hundreds of wax-tapers lighted up the green branches, and tiny painted figures, such as she had seen in the shop-windows, looked down from the tree upon her. the child stretched out her hands towards them in delight, and in that moment the lights of the match warm quenched，still, however, the christmas candles burned higher and higher， she beheld them beaming like stars in heaven; one of them fell, the lights streaming behind it like a long, fiery tail.
“Now some one is dying,” said the little girl, softly, for she had been told by her old grandmother， the only person who had ever been kind to her, and who was now dead that whenever a star falls an immortal spirit returns to the god who gave it.
She struck yet another match against the wall; it flamed up, and surrounded by its light, appeared before her that same dear grandmother, gentle and loving as always, but bright and happy as she had never looked during her lifetime.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Tonight is a special day. I appreciate our dear teacher Miss chen. She is responsible teacher and she usually makes us feel interested in learning English. She always hope that our English have made improvement. No matter how tired she is, she never gives up on us. And she give us enough encouragement. We will remember our great teacher forever.
It gives me great pleasure to be entitled to such a precious opportunity to give a graduation speech on behalf of all the graduates of our college. First, I'd like to give our hearty thanks to you.
Meet college, open my sight, to enrich my thoughts, washing my soul, moistens my life.
Meet college, pick up a falling leaf, feel the passage of time. Mature autumn, tell me: the most precious thing in life is not the most shining, catch the youth, the most successful attitude rewards seasons.
Meet college, we make so many friends in the college. We have a valuable friendship. The more you lean you more you understand.
Today I don't know I must be happy or sad. Because happy for I'm ending the study of the north campus in GDAIB. I'm got so much of English knowledge. But I'm sad too. Because today, we'll break up together, maybe if we're has good luck at all, we'll meet again.
So, we must be get confidence at all, because tomorrow will be a pretty day!
Being graduated from college is not an end, but a beginning. We will always bear in mind the motto of our college --- Respects, diligent, and progressive.
--- which has, and will always inspire us to contribute what we have learnt to the advance of the society and the benefits of human kind.
This is a day never to be forgotten, a day to cherish as one of the highlights and important in our lives and careers.
To end my speech, let us all drink from the cup of best wishes to the further development of our mother college.
Thank you.
My dream home is very big and clean. It has at least five floors and fifteen rooms. On the ground floor, there is a kitchen, a dining room and a bathroom. There are no other rooms on the ground floor. My bedroom, study, bathroom are on the first floor. They are all very comfortable. My parents’ room is on the second floor. It’s also very big and clean. My grandparents live with us in this big house, too. Their rooms are on the third floor. On the fourth floor, there is a big balcony. I can play games, read books and chat with friends there.
I also have a big and nice garden. It is beside the big house. There are many flowers and vegetables in it. It has a big tree. In summer, I can sit under the tree with my family. Behind the garden, there is a swimming pool. I can swim with my friends in summer. I think it is very comfortable to live in my dream home 。
