　　Protecting Animals and Their Paradise

　　Good morning, Honorable Judges, Ladies and Gentlemen!

　　My name is Wang Ruwen. I’m from Little Pony English School in Inner Mongolia. My topic is “Protecting Animals and Their Paradise.”

　　Today, I’d like to take this chance to share some lyrics with everyone here. They’re from a cartoon named “Colors of The Wind.”

　　…… “ Every rock and tree, and creature,

　　has a life, has a spirit, has a name;

　　The forest and river are my brothers.

　　The heron and otter are my friends,

　　And we are all connected to each other,

　　in a circle, in a hoop that never ends……”

　　I love animals, too. I often see so many wonderful pictures in the “Animal world” on TV. That’s a real animals’ paradise. It’s another world there. The sun is bright. The trees are green. Man and beasts, beast and beast, live together happily. Who survive and who won’t, there’s no judgement about there, just what it’s. It’s really beautiful, just nothing like it. But because of man, animals’ living environment is going from bad to worse. As time goes on, more and more trees have been cut down and more and more animals have been killed. The number of them has become less and less in recent years.

　　Can you imagine if those lovely animal friends disappeared from the earth. How would our lives change? Could anyone else see the beauty and mystery of paradise? So, let’s take good care of our animal friends, and improve their living conditions. Let’s make great efforts to protect the animals’ paradise together!

　　Thank you!

　　保護動物及它們的樂園

　　尊敬的評委們,女士們,先生們，你們好！

　　我叫王如文，來自內蒙古的小駿馬英語學校。

　　我的題目是:“保護動物及它們的樂園”。

　　今天，我想借此機會與在這裡的各位分享一些歌詞，這些歌詞是卡通片《風之彩》中的一部分：

　　……“每棵樹，每塊岩石，每個動物，

　　都有生命，有靈性，有名字，

　　森林，河流是我的兄弟；

　　蒼鷺，水獺是我的朋友；

　　我們彼此依賴，永遠相連……”

　　我也非常喜歡動物，我經常從電視的“動物世界”裏看到很多那樣精彩的畫面，那是真正的動物樂園，完全是另一世界，陽光明媚，樹木蔥森，人與各種各樣的動物，動物與動物之間，一同愉快地生活，誰生存，誰滅亡，在那裏沒有評判的標準，好像一切都順其自然。那裏真是美，簡直無可比擬！但是，由於人類，動物的生存環境日益惡化，隨著時間的推移，越來越多的樹木被砍伐，越來越多的動物被捕殺，近些年來，他們的數量日益減少。你能想象到嗎？如果那些可愛的動物朋友從地球消失的話，我們的生活會發生怎樣的改變？還會有誰發現過樂園其中的美麗與神秘之處呢？

　　讓我們照顧好我們的動物夥伴們，改善它們的生活環境，讓我們一同盡最大努力，保護動物的樂園！

　　謝謝！

　　Friendship V.S SARS

　　I’m Mike. My topic is 《Friendship V.S SARS》.

　　About three years ago, I started learning English. From last year, I started to go to the English corner. I have improved my English a lot there, meanwhile I have made many friends. Although I have never been to America. I can speak English so fluently that many people often asked me:“Mike, how many years have you lived in America?” Just then I felt very happy.

　　Unfortunately in the spring of last year, a kind of strange epidemic rampaged about in many countries, including China. It is SARS. So there was no longer English corner. Where? Where can I practice my English? Where can I make friends? I remembered my telephone book. Maybe I can call my friends and talk to them in English on telephone. But I didn’t call them right away. Because I wondered if I’d bother them. Suddenly the ring rang. When I picked up the telephone, I heard, “Hi, this is Linda, is that Mike?” Oh! My friend Linda called me first. I was so touched. So my friends and I created the telephone English corner. Depending on our friendship, we can say proudly：“SARS! no way you can stop us from learning English.” In the struggle between SARS and us, we were winners finally. Today I have learnt how to face any difficulties like SARS. This is the way “Smile and ready for success。”Look at the red letters. We also call them SARS!

　　Thank you!

　　友誼與SARS的對抗

　　我叫麥克。今天，我的話題是《友誼與SARS的對抗》。

　　大約三年前，我開始學英語。去年我開始去英語角。在那裏我大大地提高了自己的英語水平，同時還交了很多朋友。儘管我從沒去過美國，但我卻可以説一口流利的英語，以至於很多人常常問我：“麥克，你在美國生活了多少年？”在那一刻我快樂極了。

　　很不幸，在去年春天一種奇怪的瘟疫在很多國家流行，其中包括中國，那就是SARS。這樣，英語角就不復存在了。我到哪練習英語？到哪交朋友？我想起了我的電話號碼本。也許我可以給朋友們打電話，那樣的話我們就可以在電話上用英語交談了。不過，我沒有馬上給朋友們打電話，因為我不知道這樣做是否會打擾我的朋友。突然電話鈴響了，我拿起聽筒，就聽到：“你好！我是琳達，你是麥克嗎？”噢！我的朋友琳達先給我打電話了。我太感動了。就這樣我和我的朋友們創建了“電話英語角”。靠我們的友誼，我們可以自豪地説：“SARS！想阻止我們學英語？沒門兒！”在與SARS的鬥爭中，我們最終成了勝利者。今天我已經學會了如何面對像SARS這樣的各種困難，這就是“Smile And Ready for Success”，（微笑著為成功做好準備）。注意一下大寫字母S、A、R、S，我們也可以把它們叫做SARS。

　　Dolphin show

　　Good morning, everyone! My name is Xia Huiming. I come from HuBei province. I am really excited I can stand here to continue the contest on CCTV. Today I would like to talk about my favorite dolphin show.

　　Last summer, my mom and dad brought me to SeaWorld in San Diego, California. That was a sunny day; there were a lot of interesting sealifes in there such as coral reefs, sea turtles, sea lions and Shamu. However, the dolphin show in the dolphin stadium fascinated me most.

　　The dolphin is a playful and intelligent mammal. I have seen dolphins on TV, movies, and in many storybooks. I felt excited I could watch real dolphins. HaHa! Dolphins came out. The trainer marched and they followed. She twirled and they twirled too. It’s just like playing “follow the leader”. Man did those dolphins know how to shake hands with their flippers and leap through hoops. The dolphins even splashed the water to the “soak zone” with their tails illustrating they were enjoying playing with us. Look, one dolphin in the tank leapt out of the water, grasped a rope in her mouth, and rang a bell. It’s amazing. Finally, the dolphins lined up against the tank wall, clapped their jaws, and whistled through their blowholes. It sounded like they were saying “ Thank you, come back again, good-bye”. How smart and friendly they are!

　　This is the dolphin show, my sweet memory. Even now, sometimes I dream I am shaking a dolphin’s flipper, petting her back, feeding her fish.

　　Thank you!

　　海豚表演

　　大家好!我叫夏慧明，來自湖北省。我非常激動我能有機會到中央電視臺繼續這次比賽。今天我演講的題目是我喜歡的海豚表演。

　　去年夏天，我的爸爸媽媽帶我去了美國加州聖地亞戈的海洋世界。那天，天氣晴朗。在那裏有許多有趣的海洋動植物，如珊瑚礁、海龜、海獅和鯨。然而最吸引我的還是海豚館的海豚表演。

　　海豚是一種很有智慧又非常喜歡玩耍的哺乳動物。我曾經在電影、電視和許多故事書裏見過海豚。我感到格外高興的是我能坐在水族館裏看真正的海豚表演。哈哈! 海豚出來了。馴物員前進，他們跟著前進；馴物員旋轉，他們也跟著旋轉，就像玩“你要叫我做什麼，我就跟你做什麼”的遊戲。他們訓練海豚如何用鰭狀肢與人握手、跳圈。海豚甚至能用尾巴向觀眾席上打水，以示他們非常高興和大家一起玩耍。瞧，有一個海豚躍起水面，用嘴銜著繩子在那裏搖鈴。真是太奇妙了。最後海豚們排成一排靠在池邊，輕拍他們的上下顎，用噴水孔吹著哨子，好像在説：“謝謝，歡迎再次光臨，再見”。多麼聰明而又友好的海豚啊！

　　這就是海豚表演，我美好的回憶。甚至現在，有時我都會在夢裏夢見我正在搖晃海豚的鰭狀肢，拍著她的脊背，喂魚給她吃。

　　謝謝!

　　This is Me

　　Hi everybody. I’m Emily from Nanchang Yuxin Primary School. Today my topic is:“This is Me”.

　　Though I’m just 9 years old, I enjoy deep thinking. So, what I do for relaxation is playing chess game, because when you are in the “battle”, you need to act intelligently. I always imagine that I am a general and the king in the chess game is a captain. Before the game starts, I’ll tell my knights, pawns, castles and all of my soldier special words that will make them win. Of course they don’t really understand what I’m saying, however, each time I say it, it really works! I feel wonderful when I win; it feels good to pretend I am a general.

　　To tell you the truth, I learned those magic words from my favorite book “Records of the Historian” which was about Chinese history written by Sima Qian.

　　Reading stories about history is another hobby of mine. Since I could never live in the ancient world, the best I can do is to make spiritual tour of the past. I even cried when learning of nice and important people who died in the past, because without them the riots could have started and many innocent people would have lost their lives.

　　Since I like history so much, I always pretend that I am an archaeologist, and I believe that I have enough confidence to be one someday.

　　I wish everyone here could find your own interest like I did, and may all your dreams come true!

　　Thank you!

　　這就是我

　　大家好，我叫Emily，來自江西南昌。今天我的演講題目是：“這就是我”。

　　雖然我只有九歲，但是我勤於思考。我的娛樂方式就是下國際象棋，因為“戰鬥”一旦打響，你的智慧將會隨時受到考驗。下棋的時候我會覺得自己是一名將軍，棋盤上的國王只不過是我的部下罷了。“開戰”前，我會對我的將士們念一段“魔咒”，使他們所向披靡。當然，那些棋子不可能真的聽懂我説的話，可是這些話真的每次都很有效！贏棋的感覺實在是太好了，那感覺就像我真的是一名將軍！

　　那些“咒語”其實是我從一本歷史書上學來的，書名是《史記》，作者叫司馬遷。

　　看歷史書是我的另一愛好。雖然我不能回到過去，但我可以在史書中憑著想象神遊那些久遠的年代。每讀到古代英雄壯烈犧牲的故事時我都會傷心落淚；如果沒有他們，這個世界現在會是什麼樣子呀？！

　　我熱愛歷史，我的夢想就是長大後當一名考古學家。我對自己充滿信心。我希望在座的大家都能像我一樣找到自己的理想，並希望你們夢想成真！

　　謝謝！

　　Ningxia------ the hometown of the Hui ethnic group

　　Hi, everyone! My name is ChenXi, and my English name is Sophie. I come from Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region which is situated in the northwest of China. It is the hometown of the Hui ethnic group. As a contestant from Ningxia, I would like to introduce something about Hui people to you.

　　I like everything that is beautiful, so the costume of Hui people leaves me a deep impression. The men of Hui people wear white or black six-square hats and black vests, while the women wear veils. According to the different ages, the colors of the veils are different. The old women wear white veils; the middle aged women wear black veils and the unmarried women wear green veils. With the veils they look so charming.

　　The Hui people have good habits and special customs, which are good for their health. They are not allowed to eat pork or the meat of animals died of a disease.At the same time, they are not allowed to smoke or drink alcohol .

　　In my opinion, the most interesting thing is their habit of drinking tea. The tea drunk by Hui people is called “Gaiwan tea”. Except tea, there are some wolfberries, jujubes, sesame, raisins and other things in it. It’s quite delicious and nutritious. When drinking “Gaiwan tea”, you should hold the cup with your left hand and hold the lid with your right hand, blow away the sesame gently and then drink. Wow! The smell is so fragrant.

　　Please come to my hometown: Ningxia! If you come to Ningxia, you could enjoy the beautiful melody of Hui ethnic group called “Hua’er”; If you come to Ningxia , you could drink the sweet and fragrant “Gaiwan tea”; If you come to Ningxia , you could taste the fresh and delicious lamb.

　　The hospitable Hui people are right here waiting for you. Please come to my hometown!

　　That’s all. Thank you!

　　寧夏-----回族之鄉

　　嗨，大家好，我叫陳曦，我的英文名字叫Sophie。你們一定不會想到我來自遙遠的大西北，而且還是中國的回族之鄉-----寧夏，作為回族自治區的小選手，我更願意將我眼中的回族介紹給你們。

　　我是一個愛美的小女孩，所以我首先注意到的是回族的服裝。男子戴白色或黑色的無檐帽，身穿黑坎肩兒。女子戴蓋頭。蓋頭的顏色因年齡各不相同，老年婦女戴白色蓋頭，中年婦女戴黑色蓋頭，青年女子戴綠色蓋頭，她們看起來美麗極了。

　　回族有著良好的生活習慣和獨特的風俗習慣，這對他們的健康很有好處。他們禁食豬肉和自死禽獸的肉，並且不能抽煙、喝酒。

　　在我眼中最有趣的要數回族的飲茶習慣。回族喝的茶叫“蓋碗茶”，茶盅內除了茶葉外，還有枸杞、紅棗、芝麻、葡萄乾等。喝水時要左手托盅，右手抓蓋，並且用蓋將浮在上面的芝麻輕輕刮開，邊飲茶邊嚼芝麻，喝一口溫潤醇香，沁人心脾，具有很好的保健作用。

　　快到我的家鄉來做客吧，這裡有最美的民歌“花兒”唱給你聽，這裡有醇香的“蓋碗茶”等你來品，這裡有鮮嫩的羊羔肉等你來嘗，這裡更有熱情好客的回族朋友等你到來.

　　謝謝大家。

　　I want to be an eagle soaring in the sky

　　Perhaps I am different from other children my age. For as long as I can remember, the disease took away my childhood happiness. My world was hospitals and patients. My kidney was full of liquid and getting worse, it nearly cost me my life. I cannot remember how many hospitals my parents and I visited or how many doctors I saw! What affected me most was the failure of my first operation. After it was over, I was so physically weak that over 21 times every nurse on duty tried to give me an IV. I cried as I said ," Auntie, please do it quickly!" While my parents held me tightly, my tears and sweat totally soaked my shirt.

　　It was two doctors from Beijing Children's Hospital saved my life.

　　September First, 1999 was one of the happiest days in my life! For the first time I became a primary school student. Because of the continued weakness of my body, I was only able to attend school for 6 months and I have to stay at home for another 6 months. While I watched my classmates going off to school with their backpacks and playing in the schoolyard, I hopelessly looked out of the window and there saw an eagle soaring freely in the blue sky. I cried out," Brother eagle, come help me! I want to soar freely as you do!"

　　Either because of a heavenly blessing or the plentiful love from those around me, I am excelling in my studies and have earned society's respect. Even though I'm young, I have a goal to become like an eagle soaring high in a sky of knowledge. To help humanity to get rid of disease, poverty, war and sadness, I will fly higher and further. Thank you!

　　我想作一隻展翅高飛的雄鷹

　　也許我與許多同年的孩子有所不同，從我記事起，病魔就奪走了我許多童年的快樂，我所見到的世界是醫院和病人。由於病情的惡化，腎臟的巨大積水，險些使我喪失了性命。我已記不清父母帶我輾轉了多少家醫院，看了多少知名的大夫，更讓我刻骨銘心的是，在我第一次手術失敗後，因為身體虛弱，吊針非常難打，當班的護士輪番給我扎了21 針，我哭喊著：阿姨您快給我扎上，快給我扎上！父母緊緊地抱著我，淚水和汗水浸透了我們的衣衫。

　　是北京兒童醫院的兩位大夫，以她們精湛的醫術挽救了我的生命。

　　1999年9月1日，是我最為快樂的一天，我上學了！由於術後體弱，我幾乎是半年上學、半年休息，看到同學們背著書包去上學、在校園裏玩耍打鬧，我常常透過窗戶仰望天空，望著天空中自由翱翔的雄鷹吶喊著：雄鷹大哥快下來幫幫我吧！我也想和您一起到天空中去飛翔！

　　也許是蒼天的恩賜，或是人世間太多的關愛，我常常以優異的佳績贏得了社會的尊重。雖然我現在還比較弱小，但我的目標是想作一隻展翅高飛的雄鷹，在未來知識的天空中自由地翱翔，為人類不再有疾病、貧困、戰爭的哀傷，飛的更高、更遠。謝謝！

　　DIARY -- MY BEST FRIEND

　　Good morning, my dear friends.

　　Do you want to know how I started to write my diary and how she became my best friend? Well, let me tell you. When I was six and a half years old, I went to a bookstore with Mom. Suddenly, I saw a beautiful diary on the bookshelf, which was covered with all different kinds of lovely insect pictures. So I asked Mom wishfully, "Mom, can I buy this diary?"

　　Mom answered, "Only if you promise me to write in your diary in English everyday."

　　"OK." I agreed, without even thinking.

　　When I got home, I wrote the first entry in my diary, the first in my life, with great care. Although it didn't seem to be very well written, it was the first step that led me to where I am today. Now, I have been writing in my diary for five years.

　　When I am happy, I write with really big letters to express my happiness. When I feel down, I write quickly and make a big mess just to get the frustration out of my system. When I read a fantastic novel, like Oliver Twist, Jane Eyre, Harry Potter and so on, I write my feelings down.

　　Yet, I had a hard time writing in my diary for a stretch of time. I got tired of her and regretted buying her. I thought that I was an idiot to promise Mom. But Mom has always been encouraging me by telling me about the good aspects of writing in a diary, like improving my written English, finding a lot of funny things through my life when I am older and so on.

　　So, my diary has become my best friend. I tell everything to my diary, my happiness and sadness. She's so faithful and won't give my secrets away. She always shares my joy and frustration with me, and I find pleasure in her, too.

　　Well, are you interested in writing in a diary? One may become your best friend, too! I will keep this habit forever and my diary will be my eternal friend.

　　Thank you!

　　日記——我最好的朋友

　　親愛的朋友們，早上好！

　　你們想不想知道我是怎樣開始寫日記的？她又是怎麼成為我最好的朋友的呢？那麼，讓我來告訴你們吧。那是我六歲半的時候，我跟媽媽一起逛書店。突然，我在書架上看到一本漂亮的日記本，封面上佈滿著各種各樣可愛的昆蟲圖案。我渴望地問媽媽：“媽媽，我可以買這本日記本嗎？”

　　媽媽回答説：“除非你向我保證每天用英語寫日記。”

　　“好吧。”我想也沒想就答應了。

　　回到家，我小心翼翼地用英語寫下了第一篇日記，這是我一生中的第一篇。雖然不是寫得很好，但那是引導我今天來到這裡的第一步。現在，我已經寫了五年的日記了。

　　當我高興的時候，我就用很大的字母來表達我的快樂。當我感到沮喪的時候，我就寫得飛快，並且搞得一團糟，就是為了發泄。當我讀到一本棒極了的小説，像《霧都孤兒》、《簡愛》、《哈利波特》等等，我就寫下自己的感受。

　　然而，我曾經有過一段寫日記難熬的日子，我開始對她感到厭煩，後悔當時買下了她，覺得那時我像個白癡一樣答應了媽媽。可是媽媽一直都在鼓勵我，她告訴我寫日記的諸多好處，比如，可以提高我的英語寫作水平，長大之後再看自己寫的日記，會在其中找到許多很有趣的事情，等等。

　　於是，日記就成了我最好的朋友。我向她傾訴我的一切，高興的事和傷心的事。她很忠誠，不會洩露我的秘密。她總是和我一起分享我的快樂和沮喪，我在她那裏找到了樂趣。

　　你們有沒有興趣來寫寫日記呢？她也有可能會成為你最好的朋友。我會一直保持這個習慣寫下去，她將成為我永遠的朋友。

　　謝謝!

　　My English Teacher

　　Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:

　　My name is Deng Wei. I am a 12-year-old girl. Today I am going to talk about “My English Teacher”.

　　I have met several English teachers since I began learning English. I learned a lot from them. They helped me a lot with my English. I think I’ll never forget them. But today I would like to introduce a very special English teacher to you, who not only taught me a good way of learning English but also made me greatly interested in English-that is my father.

　　My father is a senior engineer. He often encourages me to study English hard. He told me that I must learn oral English from the very beginning just like a little child who first learns to speak then learns to write.

　　According to daddy’s method, oral English is the first. I learned oral English for several months and learned many English stories. I retell the story with my own words and try to communicate with the language in the story. In this way I became interested in English and had a great desire to learn English.

　　Secondly, my father bought me a lot of English-Chinese books. He often tells me that reading can make people wise and perfect. Books provide us a lot of colourful knowledge. Reading can enrich my mind and reading can broaden my view.

　　Now I am even more crazy about English than before. I like reading，I like talking with others in English. I believe what father said，So I made great progress in my English study. I can not only communicate with others in English but also write in English. Here I’d like to say a thousand times to my dear father-my special English teacher “Thank you very much!”

　　Thank you!

　　我的英語老師

　　女士們、先生們：

　　下午好！我叫鄧瑋，今年12歲。今天我要演講的題目是“我的英語老師”。

　　自從我開始學習英語以來，我有過幾位英語老師。我從她們那裏學到了許多知識，她們在英語學習方面給予了我很大的幫助，我永遠也不會忘記她們。但今天我願意為大家介紹一位特殊的英語老師，他不僅教給我好的學習方法，而且使我對英語産生了濃厚的興趣——他就是我的爸爸。

　　我爸爸是一名高級工程師，他經常鼓勵我努力學習英語。他告訴我學習英語必須要從口語學起，就像一個小孩兒先學説話後學寫字一樣。

　　按照爸爸的方法，我首先開始了口語的學習。通過幾個月的口語學習，我學了許多英語故事。我經常復述故事，並試著用故事中的語言與人交際。用這種方法進行學習，使我對英語産生了濃厚的興趣，也激起了我學習英語的強烈願望。

　　其次，爸爸給我買了許多英—漢對照書籍。他經常告訴我讀書使人明智，使人完善。書為我們展示了豐富多彩的知識，讀書使我的視野更開闊，也使我的英語知識更豐富。

　　現在，我對英語比以前更加著迷。我喜歡讀書，喜歡用英語與別人交流。我相信了爸爸的話，因此我在英語學習方面取得了很大進步。現在我不僅能夠熟練地用英語與人交際，也可以很好地用英文進行寫作。在這裡，我由衷地對我的父親——我特殊的英語老師道一聲：“謝謝您！”

　　謝謝！

　　I love my hometown

　　Hello! Everyone!

　　I am Luo Lin. I am from the West, Xining, Qinghai province.

　　I love boundless sea; I love far-reaching sky; but I love my hometown best— Xining, Qinghai.

　　Qinghai is a remote place from Beijing. It is a province named after Qinghai Lake. Qinghai Lake located in the northeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It covers an area of 4.6square kilometers, ranking the first of all continental lake in China. It is the biggest salt lake of the country.

　　Qinghai Lake is vigorous, magnificent and beautiful. When winter comes, the lake freezes and turns into a white realm surrounded by snow covered-mountains and wilderness. In the spring, the ice melts and the water is pure. Green grass and flowers of all colors burst into blossom. Thousands upon thousands of birds migrate from the South to Qinghai Lake. On the bird island, they lay and hatch eggs raising their young children.

　　Viewing from the shore, one sees fishing boats floating on the lake under the blue sky and white clouds; one sees great many horses and yaks on the plain; one hears herdsmen singing joyfully on the horses. This makes up a special scenery of a highland lake.

　　My hometown is beautiful, isn’t it?

　　Qinghai is also called the “Summer Holliday” resort. You are welcome to Qinghai. Here, you can enjoy the beautiful Tulip Festival and the mysterious Taer Lamasery and numerous kinds of birds in Qinghai Lake.

　　This is my hometown.

　　I love my hometown.

　　I love Qinghai.

　　我愛我的家鄉

　　大家好：

　　我叫羅霖，我來自西寧。

　　我愛浩瀚的大海，我愛廣闊的天空，但我最愛我的家鄉——青海西寧！

　　青海離北京非常遠，她的省名原于青海湖。青海湖位於青藏高原東北部，她覆蓋著4.58平方千米，是全國最大的內陸湖，也是全國最大的鹹水湖。湛藍的湖水，波浪起伏，十分壯觀，十分美麗。每當冬天到來時，凍結的湖，銀粧素裹的山和茫茫的草原，山舞銀蛇，簡直是一幅仙境。

　　春天，綠色的草原，各色的花，成千上萬的鳥從南方移居到青海湖的鳥島上，此時也是鳥兒繁衍生殖的季節，大大小小的鳥蛋不計其數，鳥爸爸鳥媽媽在精心的照顧她們的孩子。放眼望去漁船漂浮在湖面上，藍藍的湖水，草原上駿馬奔馳，牛羊成群，牧童的吆喝聲，優美動聽的“花兒”，藍天白雲，這是您理想的避暑勝地。還有美麗的夏都西寧舉辦的鬱金香節正歡迎您的到來。朋友：您不想到青海來領略和享受嗎？記住，到青海來別忘了到神秘的塔爾喇嘛寺喲！

　　這就是我的家鄉！

　　我愛我的家鄉！

　　我愛青海！

　　If I Were The Mayor, I Would …

　　If I were the mayor of Shenyang , I would do anything I possible to contral waste and pollution to keep the environment of our community clean and healthy.

　　I have noticed that water waste and pollution from car washing is a big problem. I think that recycled water should be used on car washing instead of fresh water. If price of carwash could be lowered, people would rather take their cars to a carwash than do it by themselves. It is also found the chemicals used on car-washing are harmful to our water source. They can get into soil and then drain into the river. This will cause the death of plankton and young organisms. Shouldn’t we try to prevent pollution before it happens? It is reported that the amount of money and time needed to clean-up the pollution each year is quite costly. If we adopt a new technique or methods to make water reusable, not only we could lower the price and costs of carwashing but also our environment wouldn’t be as polluted as it is. Then resources are more efficient and the environment is cleaner.

　　Nowadays we are facing a serious issue -- acute lack of resources. We have to start taking actions right now. If I were the mayor of Shenyang, I would call on our government and our people to tackle this problem. This is first what I would do for my hometown if I do become the mayor one day.

　　假如我是市長，我將…

　　假如我是市長，我將盡我所能來控制浪費和污染，使我們能有一個健康和清潔的環境。

　　我注意到用於洗車上的浪費和污染的確是一個大問題。我認為不應使用自來水而應該用經過處理後的水洗車，這樣水的價格低了，人們會願意到洗車場而不是自己去洗車。我還發現洗車用的化學製劑會污染水源，它們會滲到土壤裏然後再排到河流裏，使河裏的浮游生物和有機體死掉。難道我們不應該防患于未然嗎？據報道，城市中每天用於治理污染所花費的時間和財力相當多。如果我們能夠採用一種新技術和方法使水得到再循環利用，那麼不僅使有限的資源得以利用，而且也利於環境保護。

　　目前，我們正面臨著資源匱乏和環境污染這兩大問題，我們必須立即行動起來。假如我是市長，我要號召政府和市民一道解決上述問題，這就是我首先要為家鄉做的事情。我相信通過努力，我們能夠並會使我們的城市變得更加美麗。

　　Animals

　　Do you like animals? I like animals very much! They are all so different and interesting. In the summer of 2001, I traveled to England for a month. I went to the zoo and watched many animals.

　　I watched the flamingoes first. Look! They are playing with water! The flamingoes are pink and very beautiful. Although flamingoes are bigger than many birds, they can fly lightly and easily. Listen! They are singing! What a wonderful song! It made me think of myself. I have a good voice, too.

　　Then I watched the monkeys. How cute they were! They were very active. They ate bananas and climbed up and down the rocks. I am active too! I love to play sports.

　　After that, I watched the tigers. They were roaring loudly. They had beautiful coats. A tiger is the king of the jungle and has the style of a leader. Someday I will be a leader.

　　If you want to see animals, you needn’t go to the zoo. You can see animals everywhere. You see, there are horses on the badge of Cambridge University and animals as mascots of Olympic Games. Maybe on a Sunday morning, you can hear little birds standing in a tree, saying ‘Good morning’. Or maybe you can see some cats on your way to school!

　　Animals are our friends. They make our lives more interesting. So we should do our best to always protect them!

　　動物

　　你喜歡動物嗎？我可喜歡動物啦！雖然它們有不同的種類，但是都同樣有趣。在2001年的夏天，我去英國遊學了一個月。我去了那裏的動物園，並且觀看了許多動物。

　　我先去看了火烈鳥。看！它們正在戲水呢！火烈鳥是粉紅色的，非常美麗。雖然火烈鳥比許多鳥都要大，它們仍然可以飛得很輕巧。聽！它們在唱歌呢！多麼美妙的歌啊！聽到這歌聲，我想到了我自己。我也有一副金嗓子呢！

　　然後，我去看了猴子。它們多可愛啊！它們可活躍了。它們一邊吃著香蕉，一邊在岩石上爬上爬下。我也很活躍。我可喜歡運動啦！

　　看完猴子之後，我又去看了老虎。它們正在大聲咆哮。它們都穿著漂亮的外套。老虎是叢林之王，所以老虎有著領袖的氣質。以後，我也會成為一位領袖呢！

　　如果你想去看動物，你不一定要去動物園，因為動物無處不在。你看，劍橋大學的徽標上有幾隻駿馬，而奧運會的吉祥物也是動物。也許在一個星期天早上，你可以聽到幾隻小鳥站在樹上對你説“早上好”；或者你可以看見幾隻小貓在你上學的路上散步呢！

　　動物是我們的朋友，它們使我們的生活更有趣。因此，我們應該盡我們所能來保護動物！

　　My future is not a dream

　　When my mum told me that a visitor from Canada was coming to stay with us for two nights, I was really very excited. There is a Chinese old saying, “it is so delightful to have friends to come from distant places. ”

　　I asked mum “How are we going to talk to them?” “In English”, Mum answered. “But what if I have got a chance to visit them in Canada, would I speak English there too?” “Yes, of course.” “But it's not fair.” “Why?” Mum asked me, smiling. “They come to China, we talk to them in English. If I go abroad, they should talk to me in Chinese!” Mum became speechless. Wow! An idea suddenly came to my mind: in the future I want to be an excellent bi-lingual teacher, teaching people of the world about the beautiful language of our country.

　　I like the English language. To learn English is wonderful. I once wanted to be an English teacher . I also like Chinese literature. When I was really young, I was able to remember lots of poems and read lots of books. I also wanted to be a teacher of Chinese. Now I think that both of my dreams can come true: I will be able to use English to teach foreign friends Chinese and share Chinese culture with them. I will treat every student all the same, no matter if he or she is from a rich or poor country, so that more and more people will be able to get to know the 5000 years' history, culture, and the prosperity of our great China.

　　My future is not a dream. I am confident that it will come true.

　　我的未來不是夢

　　當媽媽告訴我：加拿大的朋友要來家裏做客，我興奮了好長的時間。中國古語説：“有朋自遠方來，不亦樂乎？”

　　我問媽媽：“他們來了我們怎麼交談呢？”“用英語呀”，“那如果將來我有機會去他們家做客呢？”“也是英語”“可這不公平！”“為什麼？”媽媽笑著看著問我。“他們來中國，我用英語交談，我要是出國，他們也應該跟我説漢語呀”媽媽一時無言以對，啊，一個想法突然冒了出來：將來我一定要成為一名優秀的雙語教師，到世界上傳播我們民族優美的語言。

　　我喜歡英語，英語學習是快樂的，我曾想當一名英語老師。我也十分的喜愛語文，很小就能背誦大量的詩歌，讀很多的書，我又想當一名語文老師，現在好了，我的兩個夢都可以實現了：用英語作為工具，教許多外國朋友學習漢語，每一個學生不管貧窮還是富有，強壯還是弱小，我都會一視同仁，讓越來越多的人了解中華民族五千年的文化、悠久的歷史和今天的偉大的成就。

　　我的未來不是夢，我相信我一定會成功！

　　Responsibility in a family

　　Today, what I’m talking about is something happen in every Chinese family.

　　I’m already 12, but at home, the housework is definitely not my job. My mom and dad would take care of everything at home, even cleaning my room. Though I know my parents are busy at work everyday, but I never feel sorry for them; I only do some housework when my mom asks me to.

　　One day, mom was preparing dinner, and she wanted me to give her a hand. But my friends got on line on the internet and called me, so I forgot about everything and started to talk with my friends. After some time, my tummy rumbled. The dinner was ready, just on time. I gobbled down my cereal, and wanted to go back to the computer and talk to my friends for another hour. Dad asked me to wash the dishes, but I wasn’t really listening. I was thinking about chatting with my friends. After having the meal, I dropped the dirty dishes on the pile and slipped away. Then I would do what I wanted to. This happened for so many times.

　　Then I realized that I only care about myself, but forgot to think about my parents.

　　We’re one family. The word seems so small, but so large in feeling. A word filled with emotion. A word overflowing with love. In a family, we should share not only good time together, but also the works and duties. Learn to care about others, learn to thank the family, learn to take the responsibility. But I sometimes forgot to. It‘s unfair! From then on, during my spare time, I will certainly remember to do some housework. Not only cleaning my own mess, I will do it for the whole family.

　　That’s a family full of love, that’s what a family really is. Thank you!

　　在“責”難逃

　　今天，我要談的，是在中國家庭中最普通的一件事。

　　我已經12歲了，但在家裏，家務活可不是我的分內事。一切事情都由爸爸媽媽打理，甚至打掃我的房間。雖然我知道爸爸媽媽很忙，但我還沒有感到抱歉。我只在媽媽要求我的時候做一點。

　　一次，媽媽正在準備晚餐，她希望我能幫幫忙，但這時我的電腦“嘟嘟嘟……”地響起鈴聲，是好友在網上呼叫我，我忘記了一切，和朋友海闊天空地神聊起來。不一會，我的肚子開始唱“空城計”了。媽媽在叫開飯了，正點！我狼吞虎咽地吃著飯，心不在焉，腦中滿是與朋友們熱侃的話題。爸爸要求我洗碗，可是我沒有在意，吃完飯後，我把臟盤子一推，就悄悄地溜掉了。接下來的故事大家都知道，我可以隨心所欲地做自己的事情了。這類狀況在家中會屢次發生。

　　漸漸地我意識到，我的心中只有自己，我忘記了關心他人。

　　我們是一個家庭。這個詞看起來很小，含義卻很深刻。還是一個充滿感情的詞彙，是一個洋溢著愛的詞彙。在一個家庭裏，我們應該分享快樂和美麗的時光，也應該承擔一定艱苦與乏味的勞動。學會關心他人，學會感謝家庭，學會承擔責任。但我總是忘記，那是不公平的。從此以後，在我的課餘時間，我會記起做些家務。不僅是打掃自己的房間，還要為全家做點“奉獻”。

　　這才是一個充滿愛的家庭，一個真正的家庭。謝謝！

　　Return To Us A Clean World

　　Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

　　My topic is: return to us a clean world.

　　I love grass, I love lawns glistening with transparent dewdrops, and I also love its fragrance, I prefer to play on it. Its fluffy and soft hands touch my face as if they were my mother’s.

　　Nowadays, big and small lawns decorate many modern cities, but what can be seen everywhere is the trash. It has been polluting the fairyland where we used to play. I look forward to a clean world.

　　Think how terrible it is that we live in such a dirty trashy world! In fact, the majority of rubbish can be recycled: metal of disposed cars could be good resources of industry; Waste newspapers and magazines could be used to make paper; Garbage from foods could be changed into fertilizer and so on.

　　Do you know plenty of trash is good building material? I wish that one day , the buildings and streets in future cities would be made from “trash”. Cinemas、parks、restaurants and even our clothes would be made from recycled materials. Can you imagine how important a part of our daily lives it would be! But it is still a dream to build such a beautiful and clean city in this way. I hope one day when I grow up, I’ll invent a multi-purpose machine that can transform all rubbish into useful stuff. At that time, the world we live in will be the one with the sky crystal blue, the rivers clearly clean, the lawns emerald green, the flowers freshly fragrant, the air totally cleansed, and our world is much cleaner!

　　Is it a dream? Definitely not. That’s all, thank you.

　　還我一個潔凈的世界

　　女士們，先生們，早上好。

　　我的演講題目是：還我一個潔凈的世界

　　我喜歡草坪，喜歡草坪上晶瑩剔透的露珠，還喜歡小草散發的陣陣清香，更喜歡在綠綠的草坪上玩耍；柔軟的草坪撫摸著我，就像媽媽撫摸著我的臉。

　　如今，大大小小的草坪裝飾著現代化的城市，但垃圾卻隨處可見，大量的垃圾污染了我玩耍的天地。我太想擁有一個潔凈的世界了。

　　假如我們生活在垃圾的世界裏，那是多麼可怕啊！其實，大部分垃圾都是可以重新利用的：報廢汽車上的金屬是好的工業原料；廢舊報紙、雜誌可重新造紙；食物垃圾就是很好的肥料……

　　你知道嗎？很多垃圾還是很好的建築材料呢！我相信有一天，我們未來城市的建築物、街道都可以用垃圾來建造；電影院、公園、餐館,甚至我們穿的衣服都會是再生材料呢！誰都無法想象,那時的垃圾與我們的日常生活有多麼密切!但是用垃圾建造一個美麗、潔凈的城市現在還是一個夢想；我希望，我長大後，可以發明一種神奇的多功能機器，讓所有的垃圾都能變廢為寶，到那時，天是藍盈盈的、水是清淩淩的，草地更碧綠、花兒更鮮艷、空氣更清新，我們的世界更潔凈！

　　這是一個夢想嗎？絕對不是！謝謝大家！

　　Books—My Best Teachers in the Big Wide World

　　Hello, ladies and gentlemen! My name is Tang Yu. My English name is Angie. I'm seven years old this year. Every pupil has quite a few teachers in the school; but to me, books are my best teachers.

　　My mom is the one who has developed my interest in stories. Since I was an infant, mom has been reading to me stories about Snow White, Alice in Wonderland, Mickey Mouse before I go to bed every night. Now that I have learned to read in Chinese and English, I indulge myself in reading whenever possible. Sometimes, I marvel at the plots so much that I'm not sleepy at all even at midnight. During reading I make a lot of friends, new and old, including Hamlet, Peterpan, Harry Potter and some other friends. Reading has given me so much fun!

　　Thanks to the books that I have read, I'm able to write something when inspired. Now I'm not satisfied with reading works written by the famous writers. So I often lock up myself in my room, trying to compose stories of my own. Cute frogs, little ducklings, or chirping sparrows have become heroes under my pen. Yesterday, I counted the stories that I have written. Guess how many I have written in one years--10

　　Good books are like good teachers in the big wide world. They tell me what is right or wrong, true or false, beautiful or ugly. The books help me grow up; and in the future, I will write many good books to help other children grow up!

　　Thank you for your attention!

　　書──我世界上最好的老師

　　女士們，先生們：

　　大家好！我叫唐鈺，英文名叫Angie，我7歲了。我想我們每位同學都有很多老師，我也一樣，但是我還有一位最好的老師──那就是書。

　　媽媽在我很小的時候就給我講許多有趣的故事，每天晚上我都是聽著媽媽的故事進入夢鄉，《白雪公主》、《愛麗絲漫遊奇境》、《米老鼠》等都是我的老朋友。從小我就對書充滿了好奇，現在我能進行中、英文雙語閱讀，我常常會一頭扎進書裏而忘記了時間。有時候我對故事的情節驚奇不已，到深夜了我還不想睡覺。

　　在閱讀中我結識了很多朋友，如漢姆雷特、彼得潘，還有哈利波特。他們中有的勇敢、有的機智、有的美麗善良、有的不怕困難，看書使我感到非常快樂。

　　真得謝謝那些書，現在我靈機一動就能寫出好文章。我想也不能光讀別人的好書，因此我常常把自己關在屋裏，試著自己寫故事，可愛的青蛙、小鴨、還有嘰嘰喳喳叫的麻雀都成了我筆下的主人公，昨天我數了我一年裏寫的故事，猜猜看，我寫了多少？──10個。

　　好書就像好老師，教給什麼是對和什麼是錯，什麼是真和什麼是假，什麼是美和什麼是醜，書伴隨著我成長，將來我長大了，我也要寫很多好書，讓其他孩子伴隨著我的書成長.

　　謝謝！

　　You are not always the best

　　One day in the last month I took part in an important competition. The winners would receive a phone call second day. I was sure that I could win the first-class prize, so I was anxious to know the result.

　　The next day I had to go out for something, and I wouldn’t come back until the afternoon, so I asked my dad to stay home for the expected phone call.

　　As soon as I came back, I asked dad immediately: “How about my competition result, dad?” “Sorry to tell you that you only got the third-class prize.” Dad replied indifferently. “Oh, no, that’s impossible, there must be something wrong!” I cried with tears coming out of my eyes. I hoped dad was just playing tricks on me, so I shouted to him again: “ you are lying, tell the truth now!” Dad said seriously: “I want to tell you a more important thing, more important than an outstanding competition result, that is ‘how to face frustration’. Before this, I want to tell you that you actually got the champion. But you should know that you will have many competitions in the future, and you won’t win every time. You should have a positive way to deal with frustration, try to be a good sport, try to be happy and work harder next time. In addition, even if you get champion, you shouldn’t be too proud either. You should remember the saying: ‘you are not always the best’. ”

　　Today I am here. I am taking part in this competition. I’ll try my best to get the champion; but if I fail this ambition, I won’t cry again! Because I have known that “you are not always the best”.

　　That’s all, thank you.

　　人外有人，天外有天

　　上個月的一天我參加了一個非常重要的比賽。比賽的優勝者將在第二天得到電話通知。我確信我能夠獲得一等獎，所以我迫不及待地想要知道結果。

　　第二天，因為有事我不得不出去，直到下午才能回來。所以我要爸爸待在家裏聽電話。

　　我一到家，就立即問爸爸：“我的比賽結果怎麼樣？”爸爸漠不關心地回答道：“很難過地告訴你，你只得到了三等獎。”“不,絕對不可能, 肯定搞錯了！” 我流著淚大叫道。我希望爸爸只是在捉弄我，所以我又對他大叫道：“你騙人，快説實話！”爸爸嚴肅地對我説：“我想告訴你一件更重要的事情——比一個出色的比賽結果還要重要, 那就是 ‘應怎樣面對比挫折’。在這之前我想告訴你實際上你得了冠軍。但是你應該知道，將來你會面對許多比賽，而你不可能每次都獲勝。你應該有一個正確積極的方法去對待挫折，要樂觀，試著高興起來並下一次更加努力。另外，就算你獲得了冠軍，你也不應該驕傲自滿，你應該記住:‘人外有人，天外有天。’

　　今天我站在這裡參加這次比賽，我將盡我最大的努力去爭取得到冠軍。但是如果我沒有使我的意志實現，我也決不會哭泣!因為我已知道：“人外有人，天外有天。”

　　我的演講結束了，謝謝。

　　The Person I Admire

　　Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Fu Jun. Today my topic is “The Person I Admire”.

　　The person I admire is my mum. She is an English teacher. She is very popular among the students because she spends lots of time on her lessons and has a good sense of humor. Students all enjoy her class.

　　My mum is not only a good teacher, but also a great mother. She is patient with me and always smiling while talking. My mum teaches me how to think independently and helps me to build up my confidence. When I have some difficulties in my studies, it is my mum who encourages me to work until I solve the problem. When I’m feeling sad or bad, it is also my mum who looks after me with care.

　　I remember when I caught a fever at midnight last year, my mum took me to the hospital as fast as she could. When we got home after my injection, it was about 5 o’clock in the early morning. My mum only slept 2 hours because she had to wake up at 7 o’clock to prepare breakfast for me, and then she went to work. She must be very tired that day.

　　My mum is not very beautiful, but I admire and love her.

　　我最敬佩的人

　　女士們、先生們，下午好。我叫符均。今天我的演講題目是“我最敬佩的人”。

　　我最敬佩的人是我的媽媽。她是一位英語老師。她很受學生們的歡迎，因為她花了很多時間在她所教的課程上，而且她還很幽默。學生們都很喜歡聽她的課。

　　我的媽媽不僅是一個好老師，而且她還是個好母親。她對我很耐心而且説話時總帶著微笑。媽媽教我如何獨自思考，並幫助我樹立自信心。當我在學習上有問題時，每次都是媽媽鼓勵我，直到我解決了問題。當我感到傷心或心情不好時，每次都是媽媽細心地照顧我。

　　我記得去年有一次我在午夜時發燒，媽媽飛快地把我送到醫院。當我從醫院打完針回來時，已經是淩晨5點了。媽媽只睡了2個小時，因為她要在7點鐘給我準備早餐，然後去上班。那天，媽媽一定很累了。

　　我媽媽雖然不太漂亮，但我敬佩她，我愛她。

　　How to be Happy?

　　Hi everyone, I am Fan Yilin, from Beijing. The title of my speech for today is, “How to be happy?”

　　Happiness is such an important part of our lives that everyone wishes to have it. But how can we be happy?

　　First of all, whether you are happy or not depends on your attitude toward the things around you. As a saying goes: Life is like a mirror, when you smile into it, it will smile back; but when you frown, it will give you the same sight. Whenever things are going well for you, you will be very happy. But you can’t expect to be happy all the time and on everything. I have a good friend; he is very good at sports. I always think, “If I am as good at sports as he is, I will be very happy.” But he usually says to me, “If I can study as well as you can, I will be very happy.” Either of us owns the thing that the other doesn’t have, but both of us are not satisfied. Just think about this: if we exchange the thing that the other admires, will we be happy? Of course not, because we will have more wishes. But no one can have everything. What’s important is to look at the things you are not satisfied with in a good mood, and try your best to make them better; you’ll feel much happier in the end.

　　On the other hand, happiness can also come from your good attitude to others. When you care and help the people around you with a loving heart, you will be full of happiness. In fact, it’s quite easy to make others happy, even with your kind smiles. If everyone smiles to each other, the world will be much brighter. Since smiling is so easy and happiness is so important, let’s smile and keep happy, from now on.

　　Thank you!

　　怎樣擁有快樂？

　　大家好！我叫范逸臨，來自北京。我今天演講的題目是：怎樣擁有快樂?

　　每個人都希望擁有快樂，快快樂樂地過一生是我們每個人的心願。可是我們如何才能擁有快樂呢？

　　其實你的人生是否快樂，是可以由你自己來選擇的。有一句話説得好：生活像一面鏡子，你朝它微笑，它會用微笑回報你；如果你雙眉緊鎖，它也將還你同樣的表情。當你身處順境時，會感到非常快樂，但生活不可能時時事事隨你所願。我有一個好朋友，他的身體很棒。我常想：如果我的身體像他一樣結實該多好啊！可是他也常對我説：“如果我的學習像你一樣好，我會感到非常快樂的”。我們倆都擁有被對方羨慕的東西，但我們都不感到快樂。試想，如果交換一下，我們會滿意嗎？當然不會，因為我們還會有別的更多的奢望。沒有人能擁有一切，重要的是要用一種正確的心態去對待它，並且盡力去把它做得更好，最終你會擁有快樂。

　　另一方面，快樂也源自你對他人的態度。帶著一顆愛心去關心、幫助他人，你的內心會充滿快樂。其實我們每個人都有一份珍貴的禮品可以送人，它會使你周圍的人更溫暖，使這個世界更美好，使你更快樂，這就是一份燦爛的微笑。既然微笑這麼容易做到，快樂又如此重要，那麼從現在開始，讓我們笑一笑吧，我們將擁有快樂。

　　謝謝！

　　Needs and Wants

　　One day last month, when I watched the CCTV news, a news story caught my attention. It was reported that a girl who lives in a big city spent 5,000 RMB after the Chinese New year from her “Lucky Bag”. When she was asked what she spent so much money for, her answer was that she bought many fancy stationeries, toys, etc.

　　It immediately made me think about the reports in the newspapers. In the poor areas, like western China, there are many children who are still staying in very simple class rooms with old books and shabby book bags. Even having a short broken pencil would bring them the greatest happiness.

　　These two pieces of news provided us with an extremely contrasting picture and brought up a serious subject- how important it is to make every one know what their “needs and wants” are.

　　Needs are what we must have and what we must do. In other words, without having these “needed” things, something will go wrong. Wants are what people “Hope to have: nicer, better.” It’s not a necessity but just for enjoyment.” As you can see, those fancy things are not the needs of that city girl. On the contrary，pencils are absolutely the needs for the students in the poor areas. Otherwise, they can only write on the ground.

　　As a city girl, I certainly want many fashionable things. But as long as I think about the needs of those poor kids, I will continue to give up my wants and donate the money for them. This gives me a sense of pride. Just imaging, by eliminating one pair of “heely” might allow ten kids to have new book bags; or by giving up a Game-Boy it might enable a class to have enough pencils for a whole year. If everybody can do this, I believe it will make our world better and better.

　　需要與想要

　　上個月，有一天當我看中央電視臺新聞的時候，一條新聞引起了我的注意：一個生活在某大城市裏的小女孩，春節後一下子花掉了五千元錢，這些錢來自她收到的壓歲錢。當問及這麼多錢花在什麼地方了時，小女孩回答説她買了許多新奇的文具啊，玩具啊什麼的。

　　我由此想到了報紙上的一些報道。在一些窮困的地方，如我國的西部地區，有很多孩子仍背著皺巴巴的書包，用著破舊的課本，在簡陋的教室裏上課。即使是一小截鉛筆，也能給他們帶來莫大的快樂。

　　這兩則新聞給了我們多麼大的反差，並且引發了一個嚴肅的主題——讓每個人知道自己的“需要與想要”是多麼重要啊！

　　“需要”是我們必須有和必須做的。換句話説，沒有這些“需要”的東西就會有麻煩。“想要”是人們希望得到的東西——更好的，更棒的。它不是為必需之用，而是為享受之用。由此可以看出，那些新奇的東西對於那個小女孩而言不是必需的。相反的，鉛筆對於窮困地區的學生而言絕對是必需的，否則他們就只能在地上寫字了。

　　作為一個城市中的小女孩，我當然也想要很多流行的東西。但是每當我想到那些窮孩子的需要，我總會放棄我的那些想要，轉而把錢捐獻給那些窮孩子們。為此我感到很自豪。試想一下，如果少買一雙暴走鞋，或許就能讓十個孩子背上新書包；少買一個掌上遊戲機，或許可以讓一個班級的學生一年都有鉛筆用。如果每個人都能夠這樣想，這樣做，我相信我們的世界將會變得更美好！

　　Education: The Greatest Need Of The Human Beings

　　A child is born, and his education begins. His eyes open to the wonders of the shapes, sizes, and colors of his world. His ears listen to the sounds, clatter, and noise around him. Education begins with life. Education continues throughout life. Education is the examination of life. Education is the enjoyment of life. Education is life.

　　In China, the state government lay a particular stress on the education of every child. Now Chinese children are assured of a nine-year elementary compulsory education. And more and more children in China are entering colleges and universities for higher education each year. And more and more children, as college graduates, are studying for their higher degrees of Masters and Doctors, abroad as well as at home.

　　I feel very proud of being a boy of New China. And I feel very proud that the gaps and differences between China’s and the world’s most developed countries’ education are getting narrower and narrower. And, as a result, we are catching up with them in such science-technologically advanced fields as successfully launching manned spaceship.

　　I’m determined to study even more diligently and try even harder to make great contributions to our dearest motherland, to make her most beautiful country in the world.

　　Education never ends. After the years of going to school, everyone needs to keep on educating himself. I ‘m always bearing the old sayings in my mind “ It’s never too old to learn. ” or “ Live and learn! “

　　In what ways will you do this?

　　教育：人類最高的需求

　　孩子一齣生，其教育便開始了。他睜眼看著周圍世界裏琳瑯滿目的神奇造型與斑斕色彩，豎耳聆聽著愉悅的撞擊與聲響。教育隨著他的出生開始了，此後將貫穿他的一生。教育是對生活的檢驗，教育是對生活的享受，教育本身就是生活。

　　全世界，每年都有成百上千萬的學生走進課堂接受教育，美國、英國這樣的發達工業化國傢具有最先進最完美的教育體系。

　　在中國，政府萬分重視對孩子們的教育。他們享受著九年制義務教育。如今每年都有越來越多的孩子走進高等學府，越來越多的大學畢業生，或治學國內，或留學海外，攻讀碩士或博士學位。

　　我為生在中國而感到驕傲。我感到中國與世界發達國家在教育方面的差距日漸縮小，我們在載人宇宙飛船發射等高科技領域不是已經趕上了發達國家的水平？

　　我決心更加努力學習，誓為親愛的祖國做出更大的貢獻，把她裝點成世界上最美麗的國家。

　　學無止境。畢業離校後，人人還要堅持學習。“活到老，學到老”，這句名言我永志心頭。

　　你怎樣做呢?

　　My Freaky Dream

　　One of my favorite movies,,is about a mother and daughter who change into each other. Before they change back, they learn about living the other person’s life, and come to appreciate each other. After watching this movie, I have a new dream: I want to change places with my Mom.

　　If I were Mom, I could do lots of things that I can’t do as me. For example, Mom doesn’t let me eat KFC, because she’s afraid I will be fat. As Mom, I could eat whatever I wanted. I could eat lots of chocolate, French fries and candy. I could buy lots of beautiful new clothing. I could even wear earrings, which I can’t do now because my ears are not pierced. The best thing is that I wouldn’t have to do any homework!

　　But being Mom would still have bad parts. I would have to go to work, and I don’t even know how! My friends would all say“yesterday you typed very quickly, but today you’re very slow—what’s wrong with you?” and I would be very embarrassed. I would also have to do lots of housework, like washing the clothes, washing the dishes, cleaning the floor, and cleaning the rooms. However, I could earn lots more money than a kid could, so I still want to be Mom.

　　Maybe if I were my mother for a while I wouldn’t like it, and I would want to go back to being the daugher. I know it’s just a story, and it can’t really happen, but I would still like to try!

　　我奇異的夢想

　　“奇異的星期五”是我最喜愛看的電影之一。這部電影講述的是一對本來相互間缺乏理解的母女，在一個星期五發生了角色互換：女兒變成了媽媽，媽媽變成了女兒。在她們母女各自變回自己之前，她們開始體驗對方的生活，從而使得彼此之間形成了相互理解，最終因為理解又使她們變回了自己。看完這部電影之後，我就産生了一個奇異的夢想：我也要和我的媽媽互換角色。

　　如果我真的能夠變成我的媽媽，那麼我就可以做許多我現在當女兒不能做的事情。比如：媽媽總是不讓我吃肯德基，因為她擔心我會變胖。但是如果我的夢想成真那麼這一切就會改變，我就可以想吃什麼就吃什麼。到時候我會吃很多很多的巧克力、炸薯條、還有糖果；我還會去買許多漂亮的衣服；我甚至可以戴耳環，而我現在連耳眼還沒有打呢。當然我最喜歡的一件事情——就是可以再也不用寫作業了。

　　但是，仔細想來，如果我真的變成了媽媽也會有不好的地方。比如：我得去上班，而我根本不知道如何去工作，到時我的“同事們”肯定會説：“你昨天打字還挺快的，今天卻就這麼慢，你是怎麼了？”這一定會使我感到很難堪；同時在家裏我還得做許多的家務：象洗衣服、洗碗、擦地板、打掃房間等等。不過成為媽媽後我可以掙很多錢，所以不管怎麼説，我還是夢想能夠成為媽媽。

　　也許我真的成為了角色中的“媽媽”，我會發現那並不是我想要的，也許到時我還是想變回女兒；但是，畢竟我現在有這麼的一個奇異的夢想，雖然我知道這一切都不可能發生，但我還是希望能夠有這種夢想的體驗。

　　Time

　　Time is the most important thing in life, and it’s also the most valuable thing on the earth.

　　Time does not wait for people, it does not stay long, and it passes without saying good bye. The second that ticked away would not come back; it would never come back. And we will never relive the second again.

　　Time includes the past, present and future. The past is like its name, it is thing that has passed. And as I said before, it would not come back, for it is a memory, a memory preserved in one’s mind. On the other hand, the future is in front of you, it lies before you, you could have dreams about it, but you have to grasp every second at present to make your dream come true, because the present is the most important one of the three. You could change the future while you can’t change the past, you could choose your future while you can’t choose your past.

　　So my friends, don’t go moaning about the past, be happy of what you have got at present, and think about the future, because time won’t slow down but we could use it fully. There’s an old saying “don’t let time make you run, while you could make time run.” And that’s the best sentence I have ever heard. Time is money, time is life. Wasting time is like slowly killing yourself.

　　So my friends, if you had achieved great things in your past then don’t be absorbed in it, if you didn’t do so well in your past then you must not lose your confidence. We should know that “no pains no gains”. Come on my friends! Do your best at present. Use every second to make your future brighter!

　　時間

　　時間是生命中最重要的東西，也是地球上最珍貴的東西。

　　時間不等任何人，它不會停留，它只會無聲無息地流逝。嘀嘀嗒嗒的秒針不會倒轉，時光不會再來。我們永遠不能重過流逝的每一秒。

　　時間包括過去，現在和未來。過去正像其名字一樣，是過去的往事。正像我前面講過的那樣，它不會重來，它留給我們的只是記憶，一種銘刻在腦海中的難忘的記憶。另一方面，未來是我們要面對的，它展現在你的面前，你可以對未來有美好的夢想，但你必須抓住現在的分分秒秒，使得你的夢想成真。因為現在是這三種時間段中最重要的一段。你可以改變你的未來，但卻不能改變過去。你可以選擇未來，但不能選擇過去。

　　朋友們，請不要抱怨過去，高興地面對你所得到的一切，努力籌劃未來。因為時間雖然不能變慢，但我們可以充分利用。還是古話説的好：“ 不要讓時間牽著你走，你應該讓時間跟著你走。”這是我所聽到的最好的句子。時間就是金錢，時間就是生命。浪費時間等於慢性自殺！

　　朋友們，如果你過去取得過驕人的成績，請不要陶醉在裏面。如果你過去沒有做好，也不要失去自信。我們應該明白一個道理，“沒有耕耘就沒有收穫”。加油吧，朋友們！盡最大努力，利用好現在的分分秒秒，讓你的未來變得更加燦爛輝煌！
