I love English 2

I love English

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 high speed.

But 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 thinking which gives me more room to touch the world. When I read English novels, I can feel the pleasure from the book which 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 which is not the same as our Chinese...

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 interests. 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 well.

If 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!

亲爱的老师，同学们：

我很高兴可以在这个课堂上做一次演讲。这一次，我想谈谈英语。我的话题是我爱英语。 正如每个人所知，英语在今天十分重要。它已经被应用到世界的各个角落。它已经成为商业上最为通用的一门语言并广泛的用于国际贸易。如果我们能说好英语，我们就有更多的机会成功。因为越来越多的人注意到这一点，学英语的人数正在已很高的速度增长。

但是对我而言，我学英语不仅仅因为它的重要性以及它的实用性，更是因为我喜爱英语。当我学英语时，我可以体会到一种不同的思维方式，它可以给我更多接触世界的空间。当我读英语小说时，我能感受到不同于阅读翻译文的快乐。当我说英语时，我可以感到自信。当我写英语时，我能够感到不同于汉语的那种美……

我爱英语，它给了我一个色彩斑斓的梦。我希望有朝一日我可以畅游世界，用我流利的英语，我可以和世界各地的人交友。我能看到许多的名胜。我希望我能够到伦敦去，因为那里是英语的故乡。

我也希望用我流利的英语来将我们的名胜介绍给说英语的朋友，我希望他们可以像我们一样的爱我们的国家。

我知道，罗马不是一天筑成的。（成功需要日积月累。）我相信在持续不断的努力学习下，总有一天我可以拥有一口流利的英语。

如果你想被爱，你就应该学着去爱他人。所以我相信我对英语的爱定将换来它对我的爱。 我相信总有一天我会实现我的梦！

谢谢！

如何改变自己

It’s my great pleasure to stand here to present my speech—Change the World, Change Ourselves.

It’s noticable that western holidays are becoming increasingly popular day by day, while Chinese traditional festivals are being somewhat neglected. Not long before about 10 Doctors in Beijing University and Qinghua University announced that we should reject the invasion of western holidays, because they regard western holidays as an challenge against our traditional festivals and culture.

Frankly speaking, I don’t quite agree with them. Indeed, we should never neglect or even discard our traditional festivals as China boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions. But why can’t we absorb the meaningful western holidays and culture.

There are obvious reasons why some western holidays are so popular in China. On the one hand, some of the western holidays which we Chinese don’t have are reasonable and meaningful, such as Father’s Day and April Fool’s Day etc. On the other hand, the prevalence of globalization enables western culture to prevail in China. Overwhelmed by such a trend, Chinese unconsiciously get involved in western holidays and culture.

With the further development of the whole world, the cultural communication between different countries and nations becomes faster and more and more important. We are indeed from different nations, but we are the citizens of the same world, so the outstanding culture of different nations is the commom wealth

of everyone on the earth. The only way for us to protect our traditional culture is to reject the foreign culture? The answer is definitely no. What we ought to do is to spare no effort to educate Chinese to get to know and treasure our splendid traditions instead of rejecting foreign culture. Only by educating can we set our confidence and belief towards our culture. Only by educating can we preserve and promote the wealth that our ancesters left for us.

At last I’d like to share a famouse saying of Gandhi with all of you, that is: If you want to change the world, then you must change yourself first.”

我很高兴能站在这里,做演讲—改变世界,改变自己。

引人注目的是,西方的节日日益变得越来越流行,而中国的传统节日都是受冷落。在不久的将来大约10医生在北京大学和清华大学宣布,我们应该拒绝入侵的西方节日,因为他们认为西方节日作为一种挑战我们的传统节日和文化。

坦白地说,我不完全同意他们。事实上,我们不应该忽视甚至抛弃我们的传统节日作为中国拥有辉煌的历史和灿烂的传统。(例子)。但是我们为什么不能吸收西方文化的意义。 有明显的原因,一些西方节日在中国非常受欢迎。另一方面,一些西方的节日,我们中国人不合理和有意义的事情,比如父亲节,愚人节等等。另一方面,普遍的全球化使得中西文化在中国的流行。这是一个一趋势，中国文化正在融入西方节日和文化。

摘要随着世界的发展,文化交流不同国家和民族之间变得更快和更非常多,艺术设计多重要。我们确实是来自不同的国家,但我们是公民相同的世界,所以不同的民族优秀传统文化中找到财富是地球上的每个人都…我们唯一的方法来保护我们的传统文化,就是拒绝外国的文化吗?答案是绝对不行。我们应该做的就是不遗余力地教导中国人了解并珍惜我们的辉煌的传统,而不是拒绝外国文化。只有通过教育才能将我们的信心和勇气向我们的文化。只有通过教育才能保持和提升的财富,我们祖先留给我们。

最后,我想说的一个著名的分享与你们在一起。甘地,那就是:如果你想要改变世界,那么你必须改变你自己。”

Friendship

Every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. My friends will listen to me when I want to speak, will wipe my eyes when I cry, will take care of me when I am sick, and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.

As students, we could share more time with our friends. The friendship in our young hearts is pure, fresh and simple. I often feel very lucky to have a lot of good friends. Especially when I had Justin as one of my best friends. Justin was my English teacher from the USA. I met him in 1996 when I was a student who could only speak very little English. Justin was a vivid young man with a bright smile on his face, and he always had his special way to make the class active and attractive. He taught us English by telling stories, playing games, singing songs, and even dancing. I could still remember very clearly that one afternoon when we fin-ished our class, we went to some other classes to sing songs for them, just like what people do in the states on Christmas Eve. It was so interesting and unforgettable. Justin was an excellent teacher, because he taught us not only how to study English well, but also the way to find out the beauty of the world and the way to be angels to others' lives. I know there was friendship and pure love in our hearts. Facing this valuable emotion neither nationality nor age was important, the real importance lay in faith, under-standing, and care. Justin is the best

friend I have ever had, and I know I will cherish those days of staying together with him as the best part of my memory.

Friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives. It is actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the sweeter it will be. It is also like a cup of tea. When we are thirsty, it will be our best choice, but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves, it is also the most fragrant drink.

However, in this fast-developing modern society, the reality is not that. More and more people forget to enjoy the beauty of life and -the beauty of friendship. They work hard in order to gain a higher position, in the society and to earn more money for their work. Of course, we don't deny that it is important to find a bet-ter place in our lives, but we wish more and more people could pay a little more attention to themselves and their friends. All of us have to spare some time for personal lives. We have to find the chance to express our emotion and love. When staying with our friends, we can release ourselves completely. We can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry to-gether. I should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives. As we know, we would feel lonely if we didn't even have a friend. But it doesn't mean we could depend on our friends all the time. There is a famous motto saying that “A friend is like a quilt with cotton wadding, but the real thing that keeps you warm is your own temperature.” It is really true. We have to work hard together with our friends, encourage each other and help

each other. When we receive love and friendship, we should repay as much as we can.

Finally, let's pray together now that one day, all of us could find the person we want to find, and could enjoy a real beautiful friendship in our lives. Let's pray the flower of friendship be-tween our friends and us would always bloom brightly in our hearts

Needless to say, money is not very important, but very very important.

If there is no money, I can’t use this microphone to speak to you and we can’t have such a room to hold such a competition. Without money, we can’t study in such a schoolyard. Without money, we can’t live in such a hometown. Without money, we can’t have such a motherland. On the other hand, If there is no money, you don’t need to bear my speech about money now.

Most of us have dreams about the future, dreams of having a good job and making much money. Surely someone has thought at times “If only I had a lot of money, I could be the happiest person in the world.” In fact it’s the main mistake that people make about money.

However, is money the road to happiness? Not really! Many people work every day, work overtime, work weekends to make a lot of money. Are they happy? No. They are too busy making money. Meanwhile, their personal lives, if they have any, fall apart. They have no time to form or to maintain friendship. They even lose the abilities to relax and to enjoy themselves. Enjoying means taking things,

taking time to see, to hear, to taste, to smell, to feel. They do not take time to do this. They say: “I’ll do it when I have enough money to retire” then they find that it is too late.

Why we usually make such a mistake and even more mistakes? Activists say it is because of money itself. They think money has changed many things. For example, they think money has changed our way to measure someone’s value in the society. They even regard money as the source of evil. Also, they hate money, but they are wrong, completely wrong.

In my opinion, it is unfair to money. Money is a tool. Well, there’s no denying that we do something harmful with money. But we can’t say money is the source of evil. Just like a hammer, we can use a hammer to kill someone, but can we say a hammer is a devil? It is the same with money.

Money is neither good nor bad itself. It is a mirror, a perfect and important mirror, and a mirror that reflects both the darkness and the brilliance of humanity. In other words, all depend on us.

So, my fellow students, ladies and gentlemen in the future, ask not what we can do for money, ask what money can do for us, ask what money can do to show the brilliance of humanity. Because, we have the future; we are the future.

金钱不是万能的

不用说,钱不是很重要的事,但非常重要。

如果没有钱,我无法使用此麦克风对你说话,我们没有这样的一个房间里去持有这样一个竞争。没有钱,我们就不能学习在这样一个校园穿过。没有钱,我们不能生活在这样一个的故乡。没有钱,我们就不能有这样的祖国。另一方面,如果没有钱,你不需要承受我的演讲关于金钱了。 我们大多数人都梦想着她的未来,梦想有一份好工作,赚很多钱。肯定有人认为有时“如果我有很多钱,我可以是世界上最幸福的人了。事实上,它是最主要的错误,使人们关于钱的知识。 然而,就是金钱幸福之路吗?不见得。许多人每天工作几个小时,周末加班,工作挣了不少钱。他们快乐吗?没有。他们太忙赚钱。同时,他们的个人生活中,如果他们有什么,倒分开。他们没时间形式或保持友谊。他们甚至失去能力放松,享受他们自己。享受就意味着要东西,花时间去看,去听,去品味,去闻、的感觉。他们进行时间来做这些事情。他们说:“我不会做它时,我有足够的钱可以退休”然后他们发现,这太迟了。

为什么我们通常犯这样的错误,甚至更多的错误中吸取教训呢?活动家们称这是由于金钱本身。他们认为金钱改变了很多东西。例如,他们认为金钱改变了我们的方式来衡量一个人的价值的社会。他们甚至认为金钱是万恶之源。同时,他们讨厌的钱,但他们都错了,完全错误的。 以我的意见,那是不公平的到钱。钱是一种工具。好吧,没有否认我们做了些什么,有害的金钱。但是我们不能说钱是万恶之源。就像一把锤子,我们可以用锤子杀一个人,但我们能否说锤中间有一个是魔鬼。这是相同的金钱。

金钱本身无好坏本身。它是一面明镜,一个完美的和重要的镜子,镜子,反映出黑暗和辉煌的人类。换句话说,全部取决于我们。

所以,同学们,女士们,先生们在未来,不要问我们可以为钱,问钱可以为我们做了钱就能办什么,你可以求展示辉煌的人类。因为,我们的未来;我们是未来
