　　My Oscar Dream

　　On the night of March 1, the 76th Annual Academy Awards was shown on television. After watching it, I had a dream, a sudden wish, that some day, I could receive an Oscar award, or a nomination, for a movie I've made.

　　While I was schooling in Australia, my friends from school and I received a n assignment one day, "To make a ten to twenty minute movie on the topic of your choice." At the time, the trend was based around the popular Matrix movie trilogy, so that became our obvious choice.

　　Because our schedule was very tight, and it was a first time experience, we found it all very hard work, but when we released our production at school, it was worth it. After my friends and I showed the movie, we could not get from one end of the school to the other without getting congratulated about five or six times. We, especially I, were proud. We made a school-wide sensation.

　　From then on, I became obsessed with how to make movies and how filming is done. I just wanted to know about everyone and everything that has something to do with movies. I would watch a movie four to five times, just to find out how one camera angle, or special effect was produced. I found everything I watched quite amazing. I sometimes admired directors and producers of these films because the techniques they use are so smart. Their cleverness inspired me to make and act in movies.

　　When I become little bit older, I would like to attend a movie academy in Beijing or Shanghai, then America, or England, after some training and experience, I would like to make a movie, which will most likely be an action movie, which is my favorite kind of movie to watch.. If I am lucky, I hope I would get an Oscar Award for this movie. I think that would be quite a challenge, but it’s not impossible. For now, it’s back to watching movies over and over again for me!

　　我的奧斯卡夢想

　　前幾天，中央電視臺播放了美國第７６屆奧斯卡頒獎典禮的盛況。我突然有了一個夢想：長大了以後，我也拍電影，我拍的電影也能獲得奧斯卡獎。

　　我在澳大利亞學習的時候，英語老師給我和我的朋友佈置了一個作業：拍一個十到二十分鐘的自選題電影。那時候，我們最喜歡的電影是《黑客帝國２》，於是就做了跟它差不多的一個小電影。我們準備好攝像囂材、道具，然後拍攝、演出和編輯，一共用了兩個星期。

　　我和其他的三個同學通過讀書、上網和反復觀看《黑客帝國2》，弄明白了裏面的人物角色和其他裝備後，就分配工作，開機拍攝。我在影片裏不僅擔任編導，還扮演了一個反面人物——一個戴墨鏡的槍手“史密斯”。

　　因為時間緊，我們又是第一次拍電影，萬事開頭難，所以覺得比較辛苦。但是，那天放完電影以後，很多人都來祝賀我們，對我們説”幹的好”，我們覺得那麼辛苦是值得的。我們，特別是我，都很自豪．我們的電影在學校出名了。

　　從那時開始，我對拍電影特別感興趣，想了解跟電影有關的所有的細節。有的時候，為了弄明白一個特技或一個拍攝角度，一部電影我要看四到五次。我發現這些東西非常奇妙，也很佩服這些電影的導演，因為他們用的這些技術非常巧妙，給了我很多啟發。

　　我長大以後，想去北京或上海，甚至去美國或英國的電影學院學習，等知識和經驗都豐富了以後，拍攝一部動作電影，那是我的最愛。如果幸運的話,我希望能夠獲得奧斯卡獎。雖然對我來説這是個很大的挑戰,但不是不可能的。現在我還是回去看電影吧！

　　謝謝！

　　Where There is Life, There is Music

　　What is music, no one can explain.

　　Just imagine for a moment that you are sitting in a magnificent concert hall. The conductor waves his shiny baton with a graceful swing through the air. A beautiful melody floats slowly around you

　　You sit quietly with your eyes shut, your heart open. The delicate vibratos of the violins carry you to a mood of heavenly bliss. An airy solo of the flute draws you to the imagination, the notes flow like some jumping swallows dancing and singing calling for the coming of Spring.

　　I like music from my childhood. My father often says when I was a baby I would never go to sleep without soft, beautiful lullabies crooning around my ears . Now music is a part of my life. When I feel tired, disappointed or in low spirits, I usually turn to music. Music, nothing but only music can have so wonderful an effect on my heart, on my pond of feeling.

　　Music comes with us. Where there is life, there is music. Where there is music, there is hope. It lies in everyday life, in everyone’s life, in everything we see, in everything we hear-- in the rhythm of the sea, in the whisper of a gentle wind, in the melody of a bird’s singing, in the harmony of village chimes. You can hear music wherever you may go . A man who doesn’t know music will lose half the world. A nation that pays little or no attention to music will be a sad nation. A world without music would be the one for the dead and devils.

　　So dear friends, let’s open our arms to embrace music and enjoy it throughout our lives. Love music and love life.

　　Thank you.

　　哪有生活，哪就有音樂

　　音樂是什麼，無人能解釋清楚。

　　想象此刻你正坐在富麗堂皇的音樂大廳裏，樂隊指揮手中的閃閃發亮的指揮棒在空中優雅的舞動。悠揚悅耳的音調飄揚在你的周圍。

　　靜靜地閉上雙眼，敞開心扉。小提琴精妙的振顫會把你帶入到天堂祈福的心境；大提琴微弱低沉的嘆息會使你想起一位老人在風中散步，沉浸在童年時代寧靜和摯愛的回憶中；長笛輕快的獨奏使你從想象中猛醒；流暢的音符像一群飛舞歌唱的燕子在呼喚春天的來臨。

　　從童年時代音樂就是我的摯愛。父親經常説，我在襁褓中，沒有溫柔甜美的搖籃曲在耳邊低吟，就難以入眠。現在音樂是我生活的一部分。每當我感到疲倦，失望或情緒不振時，我就求助於音樂。音樂，除了音樂，沒有什麼對我的身心和情感有如此奇妙的影響。

　　音樂與我們同在，哪有生活，哪就有音樂；哪有音樂，哪就有希望。它存在於每個人的日常生活，存在於我們耳聞目睹的一切事物之中；存在於海的波濤，清風細語，悅耳鳥鳴，和諧的鄉村鐘聲之中；無論你身在何處，都會聽到音樂。一個不了解音樂的人將失去半個世界。一個不重視音樂的民族將是一個悲哀的民族。一個沒有音樂的世界將是逝者和惡人生存的世界。

　　親愛的朋友，讓我們伸開雙臂去擁抱音樂，在人生中享受音樂的樂趣。熱愛音樂，熱愛生活。

　　謝謝大家。

　　HOME AWAY FROM HOME

　　Sometime ago, I was touched by a short quotation. A boy playing in his garden saw an aero plane glide over and thought: How lucky those people in the aero plane are! They can go to remote wonderlands! Meanwhile, a passenger in the aero plane looked down at the house, and thought: If only I could be home down there!

　　Yes! It is in a dilemma that you’re deeply missing your home on the journey, but you want to explore the world outside. My experience inspired me on this issue.

　　When I was small, my parents sent me to a boarding school. Away from my home and my friends, I felt so homesick that I cried all the time. I was isolated and lonely. At the end, I failed to continue studying there and went back home.

　　Time flew by; I was in secondary school and got popular among my classmates. Once, our school organized a two-week stay in the countryside. Again, I was away from home, without mum fussing around me, without yummy food, even without a hot shower. However, this time, I felt so happy. Every day was enjoyable, everybody was caring; everything made me feel at home. When the trip was over, my parents told me: “You’ve grown up!”

　　I’ve grown up!

　　I understand that missing home is not only missing our physical home, but looking for our identity, for our sense of belonging, and for our spiritual home.

　　I’ve grown up!

　　I know I’ll be far away from home and go after my dreams, but home away from home will always remain in my heart.

　　精神家園

　　不久前，我被一則短文打動了。一個在後花園玩耍的小孩望著空中掠過的飛機，想：飛機上的乘客去了遙遠的地方，多幸運啊！這時，飛機上的乘客俯視著地上的民居，想：真願那是我的家！

　　是啊！旅途中濃濃的鄉愁和去探索外面世界的衝動真是兩相難全。我的經歷恰好讓我感悟了這個矛盾的許多。

　　小時候，父母將我送到一家寄宿學校。離開了溫暖的家，離開了熟悉的朋友，戀家使我終日淚流不止，備感孤獨。終於，我無法在那兒繼續下去，只好回家。

　　光陰似箭，我讀初中了，並且與同學相處甚歡。後來，學校組織我們到農村去生活兩周。再一次，我離開了家，沒有母親的嘮叨，沒有可口的飯菜，甚至連洗澡的熱水都沒有。可是，這一次，我卻快樂無比。每天都過得那麼開心。大家互相團結，一切都使我有家的感覺。活動結束了。父母對我説：“你長大了！”

　　我長大了！

　　我還會為了理想而遠離家。但精神家園永遠留在我心中。

　　我長大了！

　　我明白了我們要思念的不僅僅是物質上的家，更是追尋我們的根，我們的精神家園。

　　How to improve our English

　　Hello everyone. Today, I’d like to talk about“How to improve our English”. To be honest, I’m really happy to stand here and say something about learning English, even if I’m only a beginner of English.

　　As everybody knows. English is an intern- ational language. What’s more China has ente- red the WTO. Therefore it’s necessary for us to learn it.But“how can I improve my English” you may ask. Well, I have some useful tips that I’d like to share with you.

　　Firstly, make sure that you pay enough atte- ntion to your pronunciation and intonation. Otherwise, you might make yourself a laughing stock. For example,“Can I use your bike?”you say,“Can I use your back?”“Pass me the case, please”.you say,“pass me the kiss, please” Obviously, here you mispronounced the two words “bike”and “case”.That will certainly cause misunderstanding. Besides, tones of different voice can also mean difference. For instance,“London bridge is falling down, fall- ing down, my fair Lady”,“London bridge is falling down!”you are excited, again“London bridge is falling down, falling down, my fair Lady”,“London bridge is falling down”you are so sad, right?

　　Secondly, practice makes perfect. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes when you practise speaking English. On one hand, you will learn from them, On the other hand, no one can avoid making mistakes, so don’t be shy, try to be thic- kskinned and speak up !

　　Finally, in order to improve our English, we need to be patient , Anyway, learning English takes time, so you must have a strong will and enough patience, Recember“Rome was not built in a day !”

　　That’s all .thank you for your time.

　　如何提高我們的英文

　　大家好！今天我演講的題目是：如何提高我們的英文。説真的，我非常高興在這裡説一説關於學英語的事情，儘管我只是英語的初學者。

　　大家都知道，英語是一門國際性的語言，尤其是中國已加入了WTO，學英語對我們來説是格外必要的。但是你可能會問：“如何才能提高我們的英語呢？”那好，接下來我便給大家説一説提高英語的捷徑。

　　首先，你應確信你已在發音技巧和語音方面下了很多功夫。否則，你將會鬧出很多笑話。例如“我可以借一下你的自行車嗎？”而你説成“我可以借一下你的後背嗎？”“請遞給我那個箱子”而由於你的錯誤發音，竟説成“請給我一個吻吧。”很顯然，在這兩個句子中你讀錯了“自行車”和“盒子”這兩個詞，而對方也就自然誤解了你的意思。另外，語調的不同也可表達著不同的感情，舉個例子：倫敦橋塌了！倫敦橋塌了！我的夫人！（聲音高昂，表示高興）倫敦橋塌了！倫敦橋塌了！我的夫人！（聲音低沉，表示悲傷）

　　其次，大家都知道：熟能生巧。當你在説英語時不要怕犯錯誤。一方面，沒有人會不犯錯誤的。另一方面你可以從錯誤中總結教訓，所以千萬不要害羞，臉皮厚一點地大聲説出來！

　　最後，為了能夠達到成功的頂峰，我們必須要有耐心。無論怎麼説，學英語總是要花費時間的，所以你必須要有足夠的勇氣和一顆“永不言敗”的心。要牢牢地記住這句名言“羅馬不是一天造成的！”

　　Be Like a Pine Tree And Bear What You Can

　　School had been very easy for me in the beginning. I had been the usual routine---show up for school, complete assignments, take tests, get grades. And that was usually straight A’s. I thought school was that easy.

　　Suddenly middle school began. Sure, I was a top student for six years, why would it be any harder? It was; the bad mark in a pop quiz deeply humbled me.

　　I became very resentful and angry about my situation. I felt so depressed for feeling inferior.

　　One winter day we had a heavy snow. Mother took me for a long walk. “ See those elm trees,” she said. “ The branches are broken. The trees may die. But look at those pine trees! They are not hurt by the snow.” “ When they have more snow than they can hold, they lower the branches and let the snow slip away. The next morning they are as good as ever.”

　　“There are just two kinds of trees in the world: the stubborn and the wise. Be like a pine tree. Bear what you can, then let the load slide off. You will move forward lightly.”

　　Yes, “Be like a pine tree. Bear what you can! ” Shake off resentment, angry and depression. We will have a bright future.

　　像松樹那樣, 能承擔多少就承擔多少

　　求學之初，我一直得心應手。一切不外乎是每天上學，做作業，考考試，拿學分。而我的分數經常是優。我覺得求學竟是那般容易。

　　倏忽之間，中學學習生涯開始了。千真萬確，我做了六年的優等生，難道功課還會變得更難？確實如此。在一次突襲考試中，我糟糕的成績深深挫傷了我的傲氣。

　　我為我的境況變得憤懣不平。我灰心、失望，因為我感覺低人一等。

　　冬日的一天，外邊下了一場大雪。媽媽帶我去散步。“瞧那榆樹”，媽媽説，“樹枝都折斷了，這些樹會死的。再瞧那松樹，它們不會受到雪的傷害。它們把枝丫垂下, 使雪滑落。第二天清晨，依舊完好如初。”

　　“世界上只有兩種樹，一種頑固不化；一種機智聰明。做一棵松樹吧！能承受多少就承受多少。 然後抖掉包袱，你就能輕鬆前行。”

　　是的，像松樹那樣, 能承擔多少就承擔多少,抖掉怨恨、憤懣和失望，我們將擁有一個燦爛的明天。

　　Discovering Beauty

　　Life is full of beauty. Beauty lies not only in nature but also in our heart. If we have a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted, we can find beauty everywhere around.

　　Let beauty be our guide to understand ourselves. People always have a strong desire for better appearance. Whatever their age, size, or shape, they hope to look more attractive. Beauty is only skin deep. But true beauty lies deep inside us. A heart for love is the most valuable. Only in our heart does beauty make our life beautiful.

　　Let beauty be our way to communicate with nature. At the foot of the hill, we see beauty running in the clear river smoothly. On top of the mount, we see beauty rising with the dawn from the east quietly. In the heat of summer, we see beauty dancing with the autumn leaves. In the cold of winter, we see beauty coming with the spring upon sprouts. We shout, we love you, Nature! Our voice reverberates across the mountains, while beauty reverberates in our heart!

　　Let beauty be our bridge between man and nature. In the harmony, beauty is a garden for ever in bloom and a flock of angels for ever in flight.

　　Beauty is something to see, to breathe, to feel and to complete. Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.

　　發現美

　　生活中處處有美麗。美，在我們心中，也在大自然中。如果我們擁有一顆燃燒的心，和一個充滿喜悅的靈魂，我們周圍到處都有美。

　　讓美成為我們了解自我的嚮導。人們總是渴望自己容貌可人。無論年齡大小，無論身高體型，人們總是追求世上，以便看上卻更富有魅力。然而，我們不能以貌取人。真正的美不是膚淺的，而是深藏在我們心中。友情和友愛我們生活中最珍貴的，是真正的美，是永恒的美。

　　讓美成為我們與自然溝通的途徑。在山谷，我們看見美在清澈的溪流中輕輕流淌。在山巔，我們看見美與辰光一同從東方升起。在炎炎的夏日，我們看見美與秋葉共舞，在嚴寒的冬日，我們看見美與春天同至，雀躍于嫩綠中。我們大聲呼喊，我們愛你，大自然！我們的呼喚在山巒回蕩，美在我們心間迴響。

　　讓美在人類和自然之間架起一座橋梁。人類只有回歸自然，才能找到永恒之美。 在天人合一中，永恒之美是一座永遠盛開的花園，是一群在天空展翅飛翔的天使。

　　美之於我，是生命的律動！當生命摘去遮蓋在她聖潔面容的面紗時，美就是生命。

　　A dream

　　I remember when I was young; my mother often described the beauty of the grasslands through this poem: “tian cang cang, ye mang mang,feng chui cao di xian niu yang”. it means in English “Clear skies, sweeping plains, the grass bowing before the wind, revealing grazing horses and sheep.” I could recite this even before entering primary school.

　　16years ago, my mother visited one of the grassland of Inner Mongolia. She said that no words could describe it’s stunning natural charm. With her description firmly printed on my mind I began to long for a tour to the grassland.

　　Sadly, this marvelous image that I had in my mind changed completely when my mum and I visited the grassland a year ago. As soon as we got there, I couldn’t believe my eyes. What was in front of me was just a piece of land with loosely grown grass. In the far distance I saw only a couple of horses feeding lazily. I asked my mother: “Where is the lush, tall grass?” As puzzled as me, she said nothing. I was shocked to see the differences between the grassland in my dream and what was in front of me.

　　On the way home, I thought a lot and tried to find answers.

　　Now I am old enough to bring awareness to other people and share my dream for the grasslands. Overgrazing and extensive farming have ruined the grassland and so taken away the charm of our homeland. But I am confident that one day the grasslands will recover and its true wealth and beauty will be realized as long as everybody gives his contribution to restore our homeland.

　　我的夢想

　　從我記事時起，我媽媽就常向我提起草原的景象。“天蒼蒼，野茫茫，風吹草低現牛羊。”的詩句，在我上小學前就已經耳熟能詳了。陪伴我去草原以前，媽媽也只去過一次草原，那是在1988年夏天，媽媽陪南方來的朋友們一起去呼和浩特市北郊的昭和草原觀光。媽媽説：草原真美呀，藍藍的天空下，茂密的草場，足有一人高，放眼望去，一望無際，風吹過，綠浪翻滾，像大海的波濤，真是一片綠色的海洋。媽媽的描述，使我從六歲起就對草原充滿嚮往。

　　直到去年的國慶假期，媽媽第一次帶我去了草原以後，我腦海中草原的印象卻完全變了……

　　當旅遊車停在了一片只有幾厘米高，更像是一個大草坪一樣的操場時，導遊説：草原到了。我滿懷喜悅的心情被下車時看到的景象迷惑了。問媽媽：這就是草原呀？！怎麼不見風吹草低現牛羊啊！媽媽也顯得很吃驚。如此低矮的草；更沒有潔白的羊群，吃草的馬兒也顯得無精打采。

　　在回家的路上，我想了許多……是啊，過度的放牧和開墾破壞了草原的美麗，正是人類自己毀壞了我們的家園。

　　這次帶著遺憾的草原之行，深深地觸動了我。站在這裡，我想説，我有個願望：朋友們，讓我們每個人都盡一份力量，讓我可愛的家鄉－美麗的草原再次重現吧。

　　Turn Exercise into Fun

　　Doing exercise…

　　Having fun…

　　When having to make a choice most people think they have to choose between the two. Far too often people go for the latter and naturally choose fun. For instance many people would prefer watching television, or more commonly known as TV to exercising, we all know that it’s true, right? The problem is, if you don’t exercise you will become weak and ultimately out of shape and it is no fun to be out of shape, right? So the question is, why not turn exercise into fun?

　　As an example, if TV is your favorite thing to do, why not connect your TV set to an electric generator that is charged by a stationary bike, you know, the kind of bike you peddle, that doesn’t go anywhere. So think about it, the more you watch TV, the fitter you’ll be.

　　Now if you are the kind of person who thinks listening to music is fun and you spend many hours alone tap tap tapping your fingers and your toes to the beat, why not take it one step further and get up on your feet and dance, dance, dance.

　　Or maybe you’re the type of person who prefers being with your friends. There are many ways one could have fun with their pals. For instance you could just hang out and do nothing or better yet you could get into a friendly game of basketball or football there is no rule that says everyone has to be as good as Yao Ming or David Beckham, right?

　　However sometimes there just aren’t enough players, or you may even be alone in which case you could go for a ride on your bike, maybe, stop by the library to borrow a book, or go for a walk around the park and enjoy the sunshine and scenery. Before you know it, you’re having fun.

　　Let’s face it, exercise is work and when we think of work we think of thankless underpaid hardships yet it needn’t be this way, if we think of exercise as fun.

　　讓體育鍛鍊成為樂趣

　　鍛鍊身體……

　　享受娛樂……

　　當面臨兩者之間的選擇時，人們認為不得不要在這兩者之間選擇其一。往往許多人寧願選擇後者即順其自然地選擇娛樂。例如，許多人更願意看電視節目也不願參加體育鍛鍊，我們都知道這是事實，對嗎？問題是：如果你不鍛鍊，你的體質會變弱甚至最終導致身體不好，體能欠佳則無法享受任何樂趣，對嗎？既然如此，何不讓體育鍛鍊成為樂趣？

　　如果看電視是你的最愛，何不把你的電視機與電動發電機相連，並讓電動發電機的電力來自一輛固定的腳踏自行車。就是那種你怎麼踩它的腳踏板，它也走不到哪去的車。想想看，越這樣看電視，身體越來越健康！

　　如果你認為音樂能給你帶來快樂，並會花上好幾小時隨著音樂的節奏不停地敲敲手，跺跺腳，何不進一步昇華它而隨音樂翩翩起舞？

　　也許你是那種喜歡與朋友在一起的人。有許多方法可以讓你們享快樂。例如，你們可以一起在室外逛逛甚至能進行一場友善的籃球賽或足球賽。沒有哪一條規則説你們必須有姚明或大衛貝克汗姆的球技。

　　然而，有時候沒有足夠的隊員進行比賽，或者你是獨自一人。即便如此，你也可以騎自行車去圖書館借書，漫步于公園裏沐浴陽光和欣賞風景，在不知不覺中，你已經讓體育鍛鍊成為了樂趣。

　　讓我們一起面對現實，鍛鍊身體就像是工作，而當我們想到工作時，我們自然會想到毫無回報的辛勞，但是根本不必如此，如果你認為鍛鍊身體就是樂趣。

　　The Tibetan Antelope Kneeling On Its knees

　　Today I am going to tell you a true story about a life-altering event that happened to an old hunter from Tibet’s northern lands.

　　Early in the morning, the hunter saw a group of Tibetan antelopes on grass hill near his tent. He rushed out of his tent and mounted his horse with his rifle. The antelopes all quickly ran away except one. A strong, fat one ran only a few steps and came back. It looked imploringly at him, stepped up towards him and then knelt on its knees with tears streaming down from its eyes. Feeling softhearted for a flashing moment, the hunter did not pull the trigger. But after he shut his eyes, pulled the trigger and the antelope fell onto the ground in a kneeling position with discernible tears still on its face.

　　The old hunter restlessly cut the Tibetan antelope open. What he had saw made him choke on his breath and the knife fell on the ground with a crash. He saw a baby antelope lying in the womb, surely dead. All of a sudden he realized why the antelope was strong and fat and why it heavily knelt before him and cried: It was imploring him to have mercy on its baby!

　　The old hunter buried the antelope and its unborn baby together with his hunting rifle that day…

　　I will never forget this story. Today I told it to more people and I’d like to point out: In the world the kneeling of loving mothers, whatever of human being or animal is sacred. Lives of all kinds are equal. Let us care about the nature, care about our life with our affection and respect to the life. Hopefully we could live harmoniously, as part of nature.

　　跪拜的藏羚羊

　　今天我要告訴大家一個發生在西藏北部的故事。這件事，促使一位老獵人改變了對生命的認識。

　　那天清晨，老獵人看到不遠的草坡上有一群藏羚羊，立即跨上烈馬，追了過去，藏羚羊四處逃竄，奇怪的是，有只肥壯的藏羚羊沒跑多遠，卻轉過身來，用乞求的眼神望著他，然後衝向他前行兩步，兩條前腿撲通一聲跪了下來，與此同時，兩行長淚從它眼裏流出。老獵人心頭一軟，扣動扳機的手不由地松了一下，可是隨即他雙眼一閉，槍聲響起，那只藏羚羊栽倒在地，倒地後仍然是跪臥的姿勢。臉頰上的兩行淚跡仍然清晰地留著。

　　老獵人懷著忐忑不安的心情對那只藏羚羊開膛扒皮，眼前的一切讓他屏住了呼吸，手中的屠刀咣當一聲掉在地上……，原來在藏羚羊的子宮裏靜靜地臥著一隻小藏羚羊，它已經成型，自然是死了。這時候老獵人才明白為什麼這只藏羚羊的身體特別肥壯，也明白了它為什麼給自己下跪，流淚。它是求獵人留下自己孩子的生命呀！

　　當天，老獵人將那只藏羚羊連同它沒有出世的孩子掩埋了，同時埋掉的還有他的獵槍。

　　這個故事曾經讓我久久不能釋懷，今天我把這個故事説給更多的人聽，我更要説，天下所有慈母的跪拜，包括動物在內，都是神聖的，一切的生命都是平等的，讓我們所有的人懷著對生命的一種感動和敬畏，去珍愛自然，珍愛生命。願人類能成為自然的一部分並和自然和諧共處。

　　Never say sorry again

　　Good afternoon! Ladies and gentlemen!

　　I am very happy to have the opportunity to attend this Competition.

　　My topic today is “Never Say Sorry Again!”

　　Do you feel sorry for the animals that are killed by the millions every day?

　　Do we really need to kill animals?

　　Let us now think of the reasons for using dead animals. People often use animals for food, make-up, medicine and especially for the clothes. Fur coats are definitely a luxury. Yes, they are warm but really they are mostly a symbol of wealth. Do you know how much a mink coat cost?

　　A report said in an open letter published recently, a Dutch animal-rights group has asked their much-loved Queen to stop wearing fur. The Group pointed out that making clothing from fur represents cruelty to animals. “ Fur belongs to animals, not to human beings.”

　　Nowadays a lot of greedy people hunt and kill wild animals and birds, so as to make money by selling their hides at high prices. This kind of killing should be stopped and seriously punished. If we don’t take actions to protect the wild animals and birds, they will soon disappear from the globe. Man will one day find himself a very lonely creature on earth indeed.

　　Until such a day, when we finally realized that we no longer have these friends or neighbors, what are we human beings going to say? Sorry? No, it is too late to say sorry to them.

　　Ladies and Gentlemen, please consider what I have said to you this afternoon. Think carefully on whether we really need to use animals for our pleasure if you have come to the conclusion that we are wrong. Then we should now change our attitude so that we never say sorry again to the animal population.

　　Thank you!

　　不要再説對不起

　　女士們，先生們！下午好：

　　我非常高興能夠有機會參加這次比賽。

　　今天我演講的題目是“不要再説sorry”。

　　你對那些每天都被數以萬計被獵殺的動物而感到sorry嗎？

　　我們真的需要獵殺動物嗎？

　　現在我們來想一想人類為什麼要獵殺動物。人們經常用動物做一些食物，藥物，化粧品，特別是做衣服。皮毛大衣的確非常昂貴。是的，他們很暖和，並且它們確實是財富的象徵，你知道一件貂皮大衣的價錢嗎？

　　荷蘭的一個動物權利組織在一封公開信上要求他們愛戴的女王不要穿裘皮大衣了。她的臣民認為穿裘皮大衣代表了對動物的殘忍，皮毛屬於動物，並不屬於人類。

　　現在許多貪得無厭的人獵殺野生動物和飛禽，高價出售它們的皮毛來牟取暴利。這種獵殺必須得到停止並且受到嚴厲的制裁。如果我們還不採取行動來保護這些野生動物和飛禽，它們不久就會從地球上消失。終有一天人類會發現自己竟成了地球上一種實在孤獨的生物。

　　直到那一天，當我們最終察覺人類再也不會有這些朋友或者鄰居時，我們還將説些什麼呢？Sorry？不，説sorry已經太遲了。

　　女士們，先生們，請認真思考一下今天下午我所對你們説的一切。請務必認真的想一想，我們是不是真的需要為了滿足自己的慾望來獵殺動物？如果你們有這樣錯誤的想法，那麼現在就應該改變態度，使我們不再對動物説：“Sorry!”

　　謝謝！

　　Changing Ourselves

　　Honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen, good morning!

　　Today, my topic is “Changing Ourselves”.

　　At first, I’d like to tell you a little story about an insurance salesman in Tokyo. Even though this man tried very hard to promote the insurance, nobody bought it. One day, he came to a small temple and began to brag about his insurance. After listening to his introduction, the monk said: “Your recommendation of insurance can’t arouse any of my interests! When you are communicating with others, you must have the charm to attract others, or you will be unpromising in the future. Young man, try to change yourself!”

　　The salesman thought deeply about each word. From then on, he invited all his friends to point out his weakness and kept on improving himself bit by bit for all his life. Thirty years later, he became a millionaire. And this man is the famous salesperson in the world: Yuan Yi Ping. His experience reflects one attitude: sometimes, we should change ourselves instead of changing the world.

　　Human beings always scan others, therefore, lots of people just see the flaws of them, then they will blame and criticize the outside factors, some people will even try to change them! Unfortunately, they ignore the importance of the inner factors.

　　Everybody in the world needs to examine himself critically, everybody has to learn to be tolerant and generous. You won’t think the world is splendid unless you change your attitude first.

　　Dear friends, we’d better remodel ourselves rather than blame each other. If we do so, we’ll find that yesterday’s sorrow is today’s gratification, yesterday’s opponent is today’s assistant, and yesterday’s failure is today’s success! Remember: if we can change ourselves, we can change the whole world!

　　Thank you!

　　改變我們自己

　　尊敬的評委、女士們、先生們：早上好！

　　今天，我演講的題目是：“改變我們自己”。

　　首先，我很高興與你們一同分享一個關於東京的一位保險公司推銷員的小故事。儘管他十分努力地向別人推銷保險，沒有人能夠接受，也沒人買他的保險。有一天，他來到了一個小寺廟，開始誇起他的保險來。老和尚仔細地聽完了他的介紹後，説：“你的介紹絲毫引不起我投保的意願。人與人之間，像這樣相對而坐的時候，一定有具備一種強烈吸引對方的魅力，如果你做不到這一點，將來就沒什麼前途可言了……小夥子，先努力改造自己吧！”

　　從寺廟裏出來，年輕人一路思索著老和尚的話，若有所悟。接下來，他請了所有的朋友來指出他的缺點與薄弱處，從而改變自己。他整個一生都堅持著一點一點地提高自身。三十年之後，他成了世界著名的百萬富翁。而這位推銷員正是世界上最偉大的推銷大師：原一平。他的例子印證了這句話，那就是：有些時候，迫切應該改變的，或許不是環境，而是我們自己。

　　人的眼睛長得朝向外部，總在觀察、審視著別人。因此不少人總是先看到別人的缺點、短處，看到世事的不平。於是動輒指責、批評、埋怨別人和外部世界。甚至有人用了很多心思企圖去改變它們，結果反倒忽視了改變自身的重要性。每個人都應該仔細地檢查一下自己，每個人都應該學著去容忍、寬容別人。除非我們都從改變自己的態度做起，否則世界將永遠不會變得美麗。

　　親愛的朋友們，我們最好改變自己，而不是埋怨別人。如果我們這麼做了，我們會發現：昨天的惆悵會轉化為喜悅，昨天的對手今天可能變為助手，昨天的失敗會轉化為勝利。永遠記住：如果我們都改變了自己，那麼我們就能改變整個世界！

　　What success means to me?

　　Once upon a time, an old rich woman left all her property to the person who could answer her question correctly. Her question was this “what is the most important thing for a person who wants to succeed?” To my surprise, the answer was not money, not power, not even opportunity, but “ambition”.

　　Why is ambition so important? A person without ambition is like a near-sighted lion. All the things in the distance appear blurred. No matter how strong it is, it can’t go far.

　　A lion lives to rule the whole plain. A person must prove that “I am a king here”, at least you are the king of yourself.

　　Nowadays, the world is very competitive. Even if you get to the top of your own field, there might be still someone better than you. So we have to ask ourselves: what is the proof of success? I believe it is doing something for this world.

　　Remember: As a successful person, in addition to ambition, the other key you must hold is love. When you look back at history, you’ll find you were standing on the shoulders of the giants. You have enjoyed what they had left you. So we should live to work for the improvement of the world. From president to citizen, we should all take part in building a new WWW for which I have my own explanation ----it is“of the world, by the world, for the world”. Only as a member of the global village, can you feel you are really successful.

　　我眼中的成功

　　曾經有一位富婆，她將所有的財産留給了一個能答出她的問題的人。她是這樣問的：對於一個想取得成功的人來説，什麼是最重要的？令我驚奇的是，答案不是金錢，不是權力，甚至也不是機遇，卻是野心。

　　為什麼野心如此重要？一個沒有野心的人就猶如一頭目光短淺的獅子。遠方的一切在它的眼裏都是模糊不清的。無論它有多麼強大，他都不可能步出狹隘，走向遠方。

　　獅子為統治整個草原而生。一個人也應該證明“我是某個領域的王者”。至少，你也應該是你自己的主宰。

　　當今世界，競爭十分激烈。即便你達到了自己的極至，也許還有人會領先於你。這樣，我們不得不自問：究竟什麼才能證明你的成功？我認為，是為這個世界做些貢獻。

　　請謹記：作為一個成功的人，除了野心以外，你還必須胸懷對世界的愛心。當你回顧歷史的時候，就會發現你一直站在巨人的肩膀上。你享用了他們留給我們的一切。由此看來，為世界的進步而拼搏是我們的天職。從總統到民眾，我們每個人都應當參與到創建一個新的“WWW”的過程中來，對這個“WWW”我有自己的解釋——屬於世界，建立於世界，為了世界。只有作為地球村真正的一員，你才能體味到真正的成功。

　　Ordinary or Extraordinary?

　　I have heard a story about two workers. One day, a reporter came and asked the first worker what he was doing. He complained that he was virtually a slave, an underpaid bricklayer who spent the whole days on placing bricks on top of one another. The reporter asked the second worker the same question. However, his response was quite different. “I am a lucky dog in the world,” he said, “I am getting to be a part of the important and beautiful architecture. And I help turn the simple bricks into perfect masterpieces.”

　　They were both right .

　　The truth is that we see what we want to see in life. If you want to find fault with others, your career, or anything in general, you will certainly be able to do so. But the opposite is also true. If you look for something extraordinary in what looks ordinary, you can train yourself to see it.

　　The bricklayer sees buildings with bricks. The question is if you can. Can you see the extraordinary that exists in our daily life? Can you see the perfection of the universe in action? Can you see the extraordinary beauty of nature? And can you see the incredible miracle of human life?

　　To me, it’s only a matter of intention. There is so much for us to be grateful for, so such for us to be in awe about. Life is precious and extraordinary!

　　So, if you put your attention to this fact, the little, ordinary things will take on a completely new extraordinary meaning.

　　平凡與不平凡

　　我曾聽過一則關於兩個工人的故事。一天，有位記者來到工地，先問第一個工人在做什麼。這位工人怨氣十足地回答説自己只不過是一個奴隸，一個收入菲薄的磚瓦匠。可是當記者問到第二個工人同樣的問題時，這位工人的回答卻大不相同。“我是這個世界上最幸運的人。”他説道，“我是這巨大而美麗的建築的一部分，我用自己的努力將簡單的磚塊兒變成完美的傑作。”

　　他們的回答都是正確的。

　　他們的回答之所以不同，在於他們看待生活的方式不同。我們想在生活中看到什麼，我們就會看到什麼。如果你想在別人身上找毛病，想在事業上找過失，想在這個世界上找缺陷，你一定能找到。相反，如果你想找到好的一面，你也一定能找到。如果想在平凡中尋找不平凡，你也一定能找到。

　　那位建築工人可以從磚塊兒看到大廈。我們能否？我們能從平凡的生活中看到非凡嗎？我們能看到運動中的宇宙的完美嗎？我們能看到大自然的美韻嗎？我們又能看到人類生活當中正孕育著那超乎想象奇跡嗎？

　　在我看來，這只不過是一種生活態度。世上既有無數令人感激的事情，也有無數令人可怕的事情。正因如此，生活才是那麼的珍貴和不平凡阿！

　　所以，假如你能專注平凡的事情，哪怕再渺小、再平凡的事物也會富有嶄新的不平凡的意義。

　　I have a dream

　　Good morning ladies and gentlemen:

　　Everyone sitting here has his own dream. Martin Luther King’s dream is to let all the Negro slaves not wallow in the valley of despair; Abraham Lincoln’s dream is to unite all the Americans. Today I’m proud to say that I have a dream, my dream is to be a diplomat.

　　If I’m a diplomat, first of all, I’ll devote myself to the Taiwan issue. The majority of Chinese people strongly oppose Taiwan’s independence, because we have been separated from our relations and friends for more than 50 years. As president Lincoln said: A house divided against itself cannot stand. So as a diplomat, I will try to get all the separate families reunited and shorten the distance between the hearts of two peoples. Nowadays, China plays an important economic and political role in the world, so I’m sure that I’ll be able to convince big countries such as America, Britain and Russia to support our One-China policy.

　　Second, I’ll fight terrorism. I want to bring everlasting peace back to the human race. Terrorists are so rampant now that thousands of civilians have been killed and wounded in explosions and attacks—mothers have lost their babies; wives have lost their husbands. Terrorism imposes misery on all human beings. Everyone, no matter who he is or where he lives, is naturally anti-terrorism. So as a diplomat, I have a responsibility to ally China with all the countries fighting terrorism to free the civilians from the spiritual shackles.

　　If I’m a diplomat, I’ll take president Lincoln as my example—“With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right!” In a word I’ll dedicate all my knowledge and wisdom to sail China towards a beautiful and promising future!

　　Thank you!

　　我有一個夢

　　女士們先生們大家好：

　　我相信在座的每一個人都有他自己的夢想。馬丁﹒路德﹒金的夢想是不讓黑人在絕望中沉淪；亞伯拉罕﹒林肯的夢想是團結起所有的美國人。今天，我很自豪地説，我有一個夢！我的夢想是做一名外交官。

　　如果我是一名外交官，首先，我將致力於台灣問題。絕大多數的中國人都強烈反對台灣獨立，因為我們在過去的五十多年裏不得不和親戚朋友骨肉分離。正如林肯總統説的那樣：分裂之家不能持久。所以，作為一名外交官，我將努力讓分離的家庭重新團聚，讓海峽兩岸人民的心貼得更近。現在,中國無論經濟上，還是政治上，都在國際社會中扮演著非常重要的角色，所以我堅信我將有能力説服像美國、英國、俄羅斯這樣的大國支持我國的“一個中國”原則。

　　其次，我將打擊恐怖主義。我希望給人們帶來永久的和平。恐怖分子現在十分猖獗，成千上萬的平民在他們製造的爆炸與襲擊中喪生----母親失去了她的孩子；妻子失去了她的丈夫。恐怖主義將痛苦強加在全人類身上！每個人，無論他是誰，他住在哪，都毫無疑問地反對恐怖主義！作為一名外交官，我有責任聯合起其他所有反對恐怖主義的國家，將人們從精神上的桎梏中解放出來！

　　如果我是一名外交官，我將以林肯總統作為榜樣----“對任何人不懷惡意，對一切人心存寬厚，在正確的事物上堅定不移。”總而言之，我將為讓中國駛向一個光明而美好的未來獻出我所有的知識與智慧！

　　謝謝！

　　My purpose of being here

　　Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, distinguished leaders and judges. It’s really my great pleasure to be here.

　　Just now, off the stage, I was wondering if I could present well here, but now in the spotlight, I am not that nervous, and all I want to show you is my personality and confidence.

　　I’m always puzzled by a question that is: Is it true that Xinjiang students don’t have ability to have a big talent in learning English. I happened to hear that many people think Xinjiang is a poor area with lots of low educated people there. They don’t believe Xinjiang students can do as well as the students in big cities like Beijing or Shanghai. Even worse, someone ever asked me if I rode camel to go to school and had English classes. I was extremely angry and I didn’t know how they could ask such questions. Later I realized that they look down on the education and economy of Xinjiang. So my purpose of being here is to change this kind of view. In my opinion, wherever you study, the most important point is yourself. Things are decided by your position. I mean I’m not going to win a prize for myself, but to win much honor for my hometown. I’ll let you know how is Xinjiang student’s ability, and show you, everyone here and the audiences all over this nation, Xinjiang students do have ability to be the champion. It’s certain that I’d love to win me a big prize, because I love myself, but more important I love my hometown.

　　Thank you.

　　我參加決賽的目的

　　女士們、先生們，尊敬的領導和評委們，下午好。很高興能來這裡參加比賽。

　　剛才，在台下，我正擔心我是否能夠在這裡表現出色，但是現在，在聚光燈下，我並未那樣緊張，而我所想展現給你們的，是我的風采和自信。

　　我一直被一個問題所捆饒：是否新疆學生真的不具有學習英語的天賦。我偶然聽到：許多人認為新疆是一個有著許多低教育水平的人的貧瘠的地域。他們不相信新疆學生可以做的和大城市如北京或上海的學生一樣出色。更糟糕的是，曾經有人問我你是否騎駱駝上學，是否上英語課。當時我非常氣憤且不知道他們怎麼會問出這樣的問題。後來，我意識到他們看不起新疆的教育和經濟水平。所以我參加決賽的目的正是改變他們的這一看法。在我觀點，不管你在哪學習，最重要的因素是你本身。事情是由你的態度而決定。我想説我不是來為我自己獲得獎勵，而是為我的家鄉贏得榮譽。我將讓你們知道新疆學生的能力，我將展現給你們，在座的各位以及全國的觀眾們。新疆學生的確具有獲得冠軍的能力！理所應當，我想要為自己贏得獎勵，因為我愛自己，但更重要的是，我愛我的家鄉。

　　謝謝。

　　My First English Teacher

　　Dear friends! Do you still remember your first English teacher? You may say:” Yes.” Everyone has his teachers, in my mind, I’ll never forget her ------my first English teacher Ms. Li. Without her, I wouldn’t be standing here. She is a young and lovely lady with beautiful eyes. Her voice sounds sweet and she speaks English very well. That was the first impression she left on us when she first gave us an English lesson.

　　In her class, she taught us carefully and patiently. She always made opportunities for us to speak English. She gave us many beautiful pictures to talk on them, played games with us and told us many interesting stories. Little by little, I had interest in English, but English was a new subject to me, I had many difficulties in learning it well. I often felt very confused. It was Ms. Li who helped me to find ways to overcome my difficulties. She helped me to practice speaking English everyday. She always encouraged me whenever I lost heart. She helped me to have confidence in myself. She gave me what I needed, courage, confidence, good ways to learn English and opportunities to speak English in class. So I was grateful for her. Maybe I can’t meet her again. The only thing I can give her is my best wishes. I wish my dear teacher happiness, good health and good luck. And I also want to say to her: Thank you, Ms. Li. I love you!

　　我的第一位英語老師

　　親愛的朋友們!還記得你的第一位英語老師嗎？你肯定會説：“是的。”每一個人都有他的老師。在我的腦海裏，我從來都沒有忘記她——我的第一位英語老師李老師。如果沒有她，我不可能站在這裡。她是一個充滿活力、活潑可愛的女老師，有一雙美麗的大眼睛，她的嗓音極為甜美，口語棒極了。這是她在第一節英語課上給我們留下的印象。

　　在她的課上，她耐心而又認真的教我們學習英語，總是給我們提供講英語的機會，她給我們許多漂亮的圖片去描述它們，用英文做遊戲，還經常用英語講一些有趣的小故事。漸漸地，我對英語産生了興趣，但是英語是一門新的課程，我學起來很困難，我經常感到很迷茫。那是李老師幫助我去克服困難。她幫助我每天練習説英語，她經常在我失去信心的時候鼓勵我，幫助我找回信心。她給了我所需要的東西，勇氣，信心，學英語的好方法和在班裏講英語的機會。所以我十分感激她。也許我再也見不到她了，惟一能給她的只有我的深深的祝福，我祝我親愛的老師幸福快樂，身體健康，好運連連。我想對她説：謝謝您，李老師。我愛您！

　　I believe I can fly

　　I believe I can fly! Maybe you think that I am a crazy person or something. Well, actually “I believe I can fly” is the name of a song, which is my favorite English song. The reason why I like this song is the song brings me courage to make my dreams come true. Just like the song say “I believe I can fly! I believe I can touch the sky”. You know I still dream about being a witch like Harry Potter and live in the wizardly world, to use my powers to save the day, like stopping the World Trade center from falling down, or stopping the war on Iraq…I know being a witch is impossible, but to make our world a better place is definitely possible.

　　Besides being a witch I also want to be an archaeologist, an Egyptologist. I want to go to Egypt, to discover the beauty of this ancient civilization. I think about it day and night, I see myself standing beside the pyramid, and working in the desert with mummies and sarcophagus. Maybe the dream is kind of far away from me. But I believe that one day my dream will indeed come true.

　　Finally, I want to tell you all that I always keep saying to myself: “I believe I can fly!” And now I am standing on this stage, and I believe I can make it!

　　我相信我能飛

　　我相信我能飛！也許您認為我有些發狂。其實“我相信我能飛”是一首歌的名字。這是一首我喜愛的歌。我為何喜愛這首歌其原因是它能給我帶來勇氣去實現我的夢想。正如歌詞中所説的“我相信我能飛！我相信我能觸摸天空”，我現在仍然在夢想著我能像哈利 波特一樣是一名魔法師，用我的力量去解救世界，去阻止世界貿易大樓中心倒塌，去阻止伊拉克戰爭……。然而，我也知道成為一名魔法師是不可能的，但使我們的世界更美好完全的可能的。

　　除了夢想成為一名魔法師外，我還想成為一名考古學家，埃及考古學家。我要到埃及去，去那裏發現古代文明的美好東西。我日夜都在想著，我夢想我站在金字塔旁，工作于沙漠中的木乃伊和石棺。也許這些夢現在還離我非常之遙遠，但我相信有一天我的夢一定會實現。

　　最後，我要告訴你們我總是不斷地對自己説：“我相信我能飛！”。現在我正在站在講臺上，我相信我能贏！

　　謝謝！

　　Awesome Love

　　Good afternoon. Ladies and Gentlemen,

　　Today I will say something about my family love.

　　I remember when I was younger. My family lived a simple life. We weren’t wealthy by any stretch of the imagination, but we were content with what we had.

　　Our first vehicle was an old broken-down bicycle. It provided us with transportation on many enjoyable weekends and holidays. Mom sat on the back while Dad pedaled. I, a mere toddler at the time, rode on the bar in front of him. It didn’t matter where we were going as long as we were going there together.

　　Not long after that, my family moved to Hainan. Relying on my parents, courage and persistence, they started their own business. As a result, we were soon able to replace the bike with a new car. So we could travel further on our excursions. Our family’s happy laughter filled the car as we traveled to many distant locations in China. Many years have gone by since those happy days, but we’re still as close as ever.

　　Recently, the airplane has become our mode of transportation as we venture beyond the confines of China to see the world. We were able to experience firsthand the uniqueness of Amsterdam, the romance of Paris, and the elegance of Vienna. But yet, such fantastic sites were nothing compared to the love of our family.

　　Time goes by swiftly, and everything is changing all the time.Yet the love existing in my family always remains. It is the source of our happiness; It,s the source of all of our ideals: confidence, courage, and faith. But it goes so much deeper than that; it warms our very hearts. So I will acclaim for the eternal and awesome love in my family and let it go on forever!

　　Thank you very much!

　　親情

　　記得在我很小的時候，家裏的日子過得樸實無華，不富裕的家境容不得半點的奢侈。但是，我們對所擁有的一切都感到滿足與愜意。

　　一輛破舊的自行車是我們全家的第一個交通工具。但它為我們帶來了許許多多快樂的週末與假期。記得媽媽總是坐在后座上，爸爸騎著車，而丁點兒大的我就呆在車子的前樑上。在我們的短程旅途中，似乎目的地並不是最重要的，而重要的是我們在一起，享受並渡過了快樂的時光。

　　在那不久後，我們全家搬到了海南，憑著父母的勇氣與執著不懈的努力，他們在自己的事業上很快有了出色的成績。因此，不久後父母就將原本的腳踏車換成了一輛嶄新的小轎車，於是，我們就開始了長距離的旅途，在週游中國的同時，快樂的笑聲總是充滿著整個溫馨的車廂。而那些日子雖然已經過去了很久，但是我們還是像以前那樣親密無間。

　　後來，在我們邁出中國遊覽世界的時候，飛機又成了我們的新型交通工具。我們全家一起感受阿姆斯特丹的奇異，巴黎的浪漫與維也納的典雅。但是所有令人心動的景色都不可與旅途中我們全家濃濃的親情相提並論。

　　時光如水，我們身邊的一切都在無時無刻地改變著，但是親情不變，永遠不變。它是我們快樂的源泉，是我們全家理想、信心、勇氣與責任的源泉。它所給予的不僅僅是這些。而更多的是心靈上的溫暖與感動。所以，我要為親情喝彩，讓愛——永恒！

　　Honesty

　　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 2002, 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.

　　誠實

　　女士們，先生們：我演講的題目是“誠實”。

　　作為“青島早報”的小記者，我採訪了英國馬可波羅國際研究委員會總裁詹姆斯吉爾曼博士。請看這張照片，這位是詹姆斯，這是我，我們正在看一顆“龍牙”。這是一個真實的故事：

　　65年前，詹姆斯一家住在青島，當時他只有5歲。他經常去青島水族館，那兒陳列的一個巨大的生物標本使他著迷。他認為那是一條“龍”，他既懼怕又喜歡它鋒利的牙齒，想擁有一顆作為寶貝來珍藏。

　　上個世紀30年代末，當日本人開始侵佔青島的時候，他們家不得不離開青島返回英國。在青島的最後一天，他跑到水族館，從“龍” 的嘴裏拔出了一顆“龍牙”。

　　他將這顆“龍牙”珍藏了65年。但是，由於“偷”了這顆“龍牙”，負罪的感覺一直伴隨著他，他的良心時時受到譴責，年老後尤為強烈。最後，他決定要改正兒時的錯誤。2002年，他訪問了青島，帶著真誠的道歉將這顆“龍牙”交還給了青島水族館，他受到了熱烈的歡迎。

　　詹姆斯訪問青島，我一直作為翻譯陪同並報道他的訪問。我被他的誠實精神深深地打動了,從詹姆斯身上，我學到了很多。我想，人都會犯錯誤，重要的是有勇氣承認和改正錯誤。

　　誠實是人們行為的重要品質，所以，我們應該以誠實的態度去説和做每一件事情。我要對我的朋友們説：讓我們都來做具有高尚道德品質的誠實的人。

　　謝謝。

　　Maths in my Eyes.

　　Hi everyone. My topic today is Maths in my Eyes.

　　When I mention the word "maths” some adjectives will come to mind, boring, difficult and complicated. But I think maths is very interesting. It is used almost everywhere in our life and also related to art and music.

　　We all know one geometrical concept, the golden section. It’s very important in painting, sculpture and architecture, such as the Parthenon in Athens and the Venus de Milo. In nature a little pentagonal flower has its golden section. It looks beautiful.

　　What about its connection with music? Lets take a look at a straight and tight string. Pluck it, and then halve its length, then pluck it again. The sound we hear is the same note but a higher frequency. The Greek mathematician Pythagoras discovered this law and it developed into the musical scale we know today.

　　Another example is from the famous composer, Bach. When we listen to his music in ”Well-Tempered Clavier”, we find the notes are always getting higher .But amazingly, in the end, it comes back to the initial height. Why is it? That’s why Bach was great! It’s a very interesting maths problem. We call it a paradox.

　　These days we learn maths at school. The only purpose is to get a high mark. But I personally think that those with curious and creative minds will open the door to the world of maths. Just as Galileo said, “Mathematics is the alphabet with which God has written the universe”. Maths, in my eyes, is a fascinating subject that needs our passion and imagination. In the end I hope you love this boundless treasure and enjoy the magical world of maths!

　　Thank you.

　　我眼中的數學

　　大家好！我今天演講的題目是：我眼中的數學。

　　一提到“數學”這個詞，你們一定會聯想到“枯燥”、“複雜”之類的形容詞。不過在我眼裏，數學是一門妙趣橫生的學科。它十分廣泛地被應用在我們生活的每一個角落，還與音樂、美術有著極大的聯絡。

　　我們都知道一個幾何概念：黃金分割。它在繪畫、雕塑、建築藝術等方面都佔有重要地位。比如雅典衛城，斷臂維納斯就運用了黃金分割。在大自然中，一朵五邊形的小花也有它的黃金分割點，於是它看上去就很可愛了。

　　數學和音樂又有什麼聯絡呢？讓我們來看看著根緊繃的線。撥動一下，然後抓住繩子的二分之一處，再撥一下，就會聽到在不同高度的同一個音。畢達哥拉斯發現了這一點。於是它逐漸發展成今天的音階。

　　另一個例子是關於大作曲家巴赫的，如果我們仔細聆聽他《平均律鋼琴曲集》中的旋律，就會發現音高總是在慢慢上升。但出乎意料的是，在樂曲的結尾，它卻回到了原來的高度。這是為什麼呢？這大概就是巴赫的偉大之處了。其實，它是一個非常有趣的數學問題，我們把它叫做"數學悖論"。

　　如今我們在學校裏學習數學，只是為了應付考試。但我個人認為，打開數學之門的，是那些有好奇心和創新精神的人們。就像伽利略所説的：數學是上帝用來記載宇宙的字母表。數學在我眼中是一門美妙的學科，它需要我們的激情與想像力。最後，我希望大家也能喜歡這寶藏，愛這神奇的數學王國。

　　謝謝！

　　What life is about

　　As we all know, the most important thing in life is our attitude towards it, tons of men have tried different ways of treating life, and some succeeded, some failed, and here are some of the tips they left us.

　　Life isn’t about keeping score. Life isn’t about your shoes or your hair or the color of your skin. In fact it’s not about if you have lots of friends or if you are alone, and it’s not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isn’t about that.

　　But life is about whom you love and who you hurt. It’s about how you feel about yourself. It’s about trust, happiness and compassion. It’s about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance and building confidence. It’s about what you say and what you mean. It’s about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. And we should always remember to be ourselves. Other might have things that we desire but being what we really are is the only trail leading to the true colors of life. Most of all, it’s about choosing to use your life to touch someone else’s in a way that could have never been achieved otherwise.

　　The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers; we buy more but enjoy them less. We’ve learnt how to make a living but not a life, we’ve added years to life, but not life to years. And it is time for us to choose whether to make a difference in our life.

　　And these choices are what life is about.

　　生活的真諦

　　眾所週知，關於生活最重要的我們對待生活的態度，不同的人以不同的方式對待生活，一些人成功了，一些人失敗了。這裡有一些關於生活的帖士給我們大家。

　　生活不是為了保持高分，生活也不僅僅是你的鞋子、你的髮型和你的膚色。實際上，生活也不只是你擁有多少朋友，或者你是否孤獨；生活也不僅僅意味著你被別人接受與否。生活並不僅僅是這些。

　　但是，生活是關於你所愛的和你所傷害的那些人。生活就是你對自己的所有感覺。它是關於信任、幸福和包容。它是你對朋友的支持和如何用愛來融化內心的憎恨。生活就是遠離嫉妒、克服無知和建立信心。生活是關於你的言行和思想。生活就是關注人的自身，而不是關注別人的擁有。而且我們必須記住保持我們的本色。雖然，生活的另一面令我們嚮往，但保持我們的本色是通往生活真諦的必由之路。總之，生活就是用你整個的生命去觸摸其他人從未企及的選擇。

　　在生活的長河中也常常令我們困惑和矛盾，我們擁有越來越高大的建築，但我們也越來越缺乏耐心；我們購買的物質越來越多，但我們從中得到的快樂越來越少。我們學習如何活著但那卻不是生活；人類的壽命越來越長，但有意義的生活並因此而延長。因此，現在正是我們選擇使我們的人生變得不同凡響的時候了。

　　這些選擇就是生活的真諦。

　　Sandstorm

　　Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, Today I’m going to talk about sandstorm.

　　Sandstorm is a kind of bad weather witch is becoming increasingly common in Northwestern China, and it usually happens in spring and fall. Though I’m only 13, I have experienced it and suffered from it quite a lot.

　　I’m sure most people still remember the sandstorm that happened last month. It swept across the large area of 11 provinces and caused a great loss to our nation.

　　As you can see on TV, when a sandstorm comes, the wind blows strongly with dust and sand. Sometimes trees are even broken down in half, and little birds cannot find their homes. Sometimes clouds of dust blur the vision, and little kids cannot find their ways. It’s like the end of the world.

　　When a sandstorm occurs, our classroom is filled with dust and sand. My poor teachers! They’ve breathed in enough chalk-powder. Now, they have to take in much dust. My poor fellow classmates! They told me they were almost dying.

　　We love beautiful spring. We cherish bright sunshine. But sandstorms destroy all the lovely things. Yet we know it is Mother Nature’s revenge on what we have done to her. In order to see blue sky and sunny spring again, we should plant more trees and more grass to protect the environment. And it is not too late if we start right now.

　　Though it’s a hard job to fight against the sandstorm, it is the battle we must fight, and it is a battle we must win!

　　Thank you!

　　沙塵暴

　　女士們，先生們：

　　下午好！我的演講題目是沙塵暴。

　　沙塵暴是我國北方地區春季日益頻繁發生的一種惡劣天氣。雖然我才13歲，但也經歷過多次了。

　　我想大家對上月發生的沙塵暴記憶猶新，它席捲了11個省，給我國造成了很大的損失。

　　正如您從電視上看到的，沙塵暴所到之處，狂風卷著黃沙和塵土肆劣橫行，有時候一些大樹都被從中間吹倒了。鳥兒失去他們的家園，孩子們也找不到回家的路，就像到了世界末日。

　　當沙塵暴發生時，我們的教室也充滿了沙塵。可憐的老師，儘管已飽受粉筆灰之苦，現在又不得不待在灰塵中。可憐的同學們，他們告訴我簡直都要窒息了!

　　我們熱愛美麗的春天，我們珍愛明媚的陽光。但是沙塵暴給這些蒙上了陰影，我們知道，沙塵暴是大自然母親對我們破壞生態劣行的懲罰。要重新看到蔚藍的天空和明媚的春光，我們必須綠化山川，保護環境。如果我們現在就開始，還不晚。

　　雖然這是一項艱巨的任務，但是我們必須勇敢地面對，因為這是一場我們必須獲勝的戰鬥！
