"never say die, i've been down this road before. i'll never quit, i'll never lay down." it's the song named "win". it tells us never say die.

seeing this topic, what first strikes my mind is the group of blind football players who won the silver medal at the beijing paralympics games. what they did shows the spirit of the old saying “never say die”. instead of giving up because of their blindness, they have redoubled their efforts and they did wonders.

never give up, even though there are many difficult things waiting for you. if you try your best, maybe there will be many successes behind you the next time.

i once read a book called "the count of monte cristo". in the book, it says, all human wisdom is summed up in these two words, wait and hope. just try your best, wait for the success and hold on your hopes.

trying times will pass, as they always do. face the trouble heroically

and just have patience, your dreams will come true and you will surely win.

How to Be Popular

Most people would like to be popular with others, but not everyone can achieve this goal. What is the secret to popularity? In fact, it is very simple. The first step is to improve our appearance. We should always make sure that we stay in good shape and dress well.

When we are healthy and well-groomed, we will not only look better but also feel better. In addition, we should smile and appear friendly. After all, our facial expression is an important part of our appearance. If we can do this, people will be attracted to our good looks and impressed by our confidence.

Another important step is developing more consideration for others. We should always put others first and place their interests before our own. It's also important to be good listeners; in this way people will feel comfortable enough to confide in us. However, no matter what we do, we must not gossip.

Above all, we must remember to be ourselves, not phonies. Only by being sincere and respectful of others can we earn their respect. If we can do all of the above, I am sure popularity will come our way.

Respect teacher, dear students: everyone!

Is convenient in your criticism or critical to name names, not thinking of when I pointed to my nose but doesn't know by name, I will be worried about you. It will be a very painful thing.

My name is xx, not surnamed liu, but the surname field, have a classmate say my mother surnamed liu, I definitely tell you is my mother also not surname liu, said don't understand my mother surnamed liu who are? , of course, if you call me = = =, I will feel hospitable, the title of my speech is the beautiful campus, my home is where I first statement, the following point of view, for my personal identity, if got everyone's identity, my pleasure.

Warm, all things recovery, the river of the branches of the weeping willows stretch opened the yellow green leaves, like a natural barrier at the edge of campus, the river flows slowly, play a QuChun, please we try a grateful heart to feel the nature has given us all this, also grateful for our school to the picturesque environment in which to learn, because Thanksgiving will have more mining the society, because Thanksgiving will be sincere friendship, in the same way, because Thanksgiving will be the beautiful and - harmonic campus, Thanksgiving is not just a behavior, is also a state of mind. Why do you say so? Below I ask you a question: "the school motto of tsinghua university is a" unyielding and hold world with virtue ", so what is our motto?" Understand please raise your hand! Ok, I'll tell everyone "building new, build industry for fei" and this is our school spirit, of course, you can go to the website login web site inspection.

I think this is also our most students talk about school proud of! Actually put this as a school proud capital, is the school of sorrow! Spring is coming, life, it is a good place for rest after dinner, we also exercise our will, in short I insist every day after night lessons will go around the large training run on two or three laps, not only exercise the body itself, also formed the habit of meditation, and our school dining hall, from 7 o 'clock in the morning to night lessons, as to have a meal at any time, just I love this kind of lining up to buy the rice. And the school's swimming pool (right about swimming pool events, knower silent, said this also don't ask, don't carry forward the spirit of the pursuit of learning) you, cinemas (I promise myself go to the movies once a week, is not, of course, in the net cafe or bedroom). These where you may not understand, but I can very negative duties of say; Yes, it's just you didn't go to the development and utilization.

Finally, a recommendation or advice to the school, the fortunes of a world rise and fall, rise and fall, also is responsible for students, not just at the moment and after graduation is a duty, because you are out of school is a representative of the school. At the moment I think the school lacks a bit of "culture", the so-called "culture", of smell. Companies have a "culture" to grow, schools have a "culture" was able to do school in one hundred. At present the leadership of the very thought of. Statement again, this view person, such as can get recognized, my pleasure. If there is any dissent, let's discuss in private. Thank you very much to spend your precious time to listen to me this crap, I gratitude not jing.

尊敬的老師、親愛的同學們：大家好!

在上來的時候我就在思考用不用做一個自我介紹，我想了之後還是很有必要做一個的，首先我認識的人不必須認識我，畢竟我不是明星，其次做一個自我介紹有一個什麼好處呢?就是方便在你們批評或者批判的時候能夠指名道姓，不至於在想批我的時候指着我的鼻子卻叫不上名字，我會替你們着急的。那將是一件多麼痛苦的事情啊。

我叫xx，不是姓劉，而是姓田，有同學説我媽媽姓劉，我明確的告訴你就是我媽媽也不姓劉，真不明白説我媽媽姓劉的人居心何在?當然如果叫我===，我會倍感親切，我演講的題目是《美麗的校園——我的家》在那裏我首先聲明，以下觀點，為我個人所認同，如果得到大家的認同，不勝榮幸。

春風和煦，萬物復甦，河邊的垂柳舒展開了黃綠嫩葉的枝條，似校園邊上的一道天然屏障，河水緩緩流淌，演奏一曲春的讚歌，請我們試用一顆感恩的心去體會大自然所賜予我們的這一切，同時也感恩學校為我們帶給這個風景如畫的學習環境，因為感恩才會有這個多采的社會，因為感恩才會有真摯的友情，同樣，因為感恩才會有這美麗和諧的校園，感恩不僅僅是一種行為，也是一種心態。為什麼要這樣説呢?下方我問大家一個問題:“清華大學的校訓是‘自強不息、厚德載物’，那麼我院的校訓是什麼?”明白的請舉手!好的，由我來告訴大家“建物格新，築業為範”這也是我院辦學的精神，當然您能夠去網站登錄網址查閲。

我想這也是我們大多數同學談起學校時驕傲的地方吧!其實把這當成學校驕傲的資本，是學校的悲哀!春天來了，花香鳥語，正是我們飯後休息的好去處，同時也是我們鍛鍊身體的必選之地，總之我堅持每一天晚自習過後都會去圍着那個大的訓練場跑上兩三圈，不僅僅鍛鍊了自我的身體，也養成了靜思的習慣，還有咱們學校的飯堂，從早上七點到晚自習前，隨到隨時有飯吃，正合我這種不愛排隊買飯的人。還有學校的游泳館(對了關於游泳館事件，知者不語，不知者也不要問，千萬別發揚你們追求學問的精神)、電影院(我保證自我每週看一次電影，當然不是在網吧或者寢室)。這些你們或許都不明白在哪裏，但是我能夠很負職責的説;有，只是你沒有去開發利用而已。

最後，向學校提一個推薦或者説是意見，天下興亡匹夫有責，學院興衰，學子也有責，不僅僅此刻又責畢業之後更是有責，因為你走出了校門代表的是一個學校。此刻我認為學校缺少一點“文化”，所謂“文化”這，聞而化之。企業有“文化”才能夠發展壯大，學校有“文化”才能夠做到百年名校。望在座的領導甚思之。再聲明一下，以上觀點個人所述，如能得到大家認同，不勝榮幸。如有異議者，咱們私下討論。多謝大家能夠破費您的寶貴的時光來聽我這一堆廢話，我感恩不荊。

Dear teachers and students

Good afternoon, everyone!

Sometimes I will quietly think about what life is. A person comes to this world naked and leaves the world with his bare hands, turns into dust and goes into the universe. A person is just a passer-by of the whole world, whether he is poor or rich.

When people come to this world, they will leave something to prove that we have come, study hard and strive for our own ideals. In fact, a person's life is in your own hands, all of which depends on how you do it. Life is in our hands, bold forward, efforts may not be successful, but give up will certainly fail.

We should choose a good life when we are young, so that we can have a strong driving force for the learning in front of us.

Choosing life is no more than choosing a job. There are two ways to choose your life. For example, choosing life is like buying an egg, picking a fresh egg or buying a rotten egg. It depends on your choice.

With a long history and ups and downs, the cruelty of xia Jie, Shang Zhou and Zhou has long been infamous; Wen Tianxiang died for the country for a long time; Lu Bu killed the Lord and betrayed him and became his father. Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan six times and devoted himself to his death, which is a good story

The choice of life is only between one thought, life needs to choose, but also needs the right choice.

英語演講稿6

First, I would like to know, what does your destiny offer you? Happiness, wisdom, a strong body or something else. If I had asked this question to president Nion, he would probably had said,”Our destiny offers not the cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity.”

Needless to say, one of the biggest opportunities given to China is the 20 Olympic Games. Till now, we have used two sevenths of the preparation time. How much changes have you seen? New roads, new subway lines, public-eercising equipments with beautiful colors, large blocks of grass fields, and also lots of modern gyms which are under construction.

Other than those, there are even more good effects brought to us by the Olympic Games that cannot be seen directly. For eample, more and more people will get to know China. I’m sure the mysterious Chinese culture will attract them strongly. And the games will also do good to the economy and environment, for it is gaining the attention of foreign investors and the awareness of environmental protection is being strengthened. What is more, Olympic Games give a unique opportunity to inspire and educate a new generation of Chinese youth with the Olympic values and the Olympic spirit. Now that we have seen so many advances, could you even imagine us losing the holding rights?

I’ve already said a lot about the Olympics and China. But I think everyone should use some time to think of this question, ”Does the Olympic Games have any special meaning to you?”

For us, I mean the Chinese youth, 20 Olympic Games is a tremendous gift. Because what we are waiting for is to do something significant as repaying the love given to us society is just like a ship, and in our dreams the captain is waving his hand and saying ”Hey! Come here and take the helm! ”How charming his voice is, but we have never heard of it in our true life. This morning, however, when we wake up, we will see the Olympic Games waving its hand. After chewing, most of us will have at least one plan about what to do for the Olympic Games. And mine is to be a “comforter” ----that is someone who will give comfort to others.

At the end of my speech, I hope all the preparation will go well, and everyone will show their ability to the world. Let us seize opportunities and give a big smile to challenges.

ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,i am chinese.

i am proud of being a chinese with five thousand years of civilization behind. i've learned about the four great inventions made by our forefathers. i've learned about the great wall and the yangtze river. i've learned about zhang heng(張衡)and i've learned about zheng he(鄭和) says the yellow river civilization has vanished(消失)?i know that my ancestors have made miracles(奇蹟)on this fertile land and we're still ma-ki-ng miracles. who can ignore the fact that we have established ourselves as a great state in the world, that we have devised our own nuclear weapons, that we have successfully sent our satellites into space, and that our gnp ranks no. 7 in the world? we have experienced the plunders (掠奪) by other nations, and we have experienced the war. yet, based on such ruins, there still stands our nation----china, unyielding and unconquerable!

i once came acroan american tourist. she said, “china has a history of five thousand years, but the us only has a history of 200 years. five thousand years ago, china took the lead in the world, and now it is the us that is leading.”my heart was deeply touched by these words. it is true that we're still a developing nation, but it doesn't mean that we can despise (鄙視) ourselves. we have such a long-standing history, we have such abundant resources, we have such intelligent and diligent people, and we have enough to be proud of. we have reasons to say proudly：we are sure to take the lead in the world in the future again, for our problems are big, but our ambition (雄心) is even bigger, our challenges (挑戰) are great, but our will is evengreater.

i am chinese. i have inherited (繼承) black hair and blackeyes. i have inherited the virtues of my ancestors. i have also taken over responsibility. i am sure, that wherever i go, whatever i do, i shall never forget that i am chinese!

thank you.

Good morning ladies and gentlmen,It is my great pleasure to stand here to present my speech—— As you slowly open your eyes, look around, notice where the light comes into your room;listen carefully, see if there are new sounds you can recognize;feel with your body and spirit, and see if you can sense the freshness in the air. Yes, yes, yes, it’s a new day, it’s a different day, and it’s a bright day! And most importantly, it’s a new beginning for your life, a beginning where you are going to make new decisions, take new actions, make new friends, and take your life to a totally unprecedented level. In your mind’s eye, you can see clearly the things you want to have, the paces you intend to go, the relationships you desire to develop, and the positions you aspire to reach. You can hear your laughters of joy and happiness on the day when everything happens as you dream. You can see the smiles on the people around you when the magic moment strikes. You can feel your face is getting red, your heart is beating fast, and your blood is rushing all over your body, to every single corner of your being! You know all this is real as long as you are confident, passionate and committed! And you are confident, you are passionate, you are committed!

You will no longer fear making new sounds, showing new facial expressions, using your body in new ways, approaching new people, and asking new questions. You will live every single day of your life with absolute passion, and you will show your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take. You will focus all your time and effort on the most important goals of your life. You will never succumb to challenges of hardships. You will never waver in your pursuit of excellence. After all, you are the best, and you deserve the best! As your coach and friend, I can assure you the door to all the best things in the world will open to you, but the key to that door is in your hand. You must do your part. You must faithfully follow the plans you make and take the actions you plan;you must never quit and you must never fear. I know you must do it, you can do it, you will do it, and you will succeed! Now stand firm and tall, make a fist, get excited, and yell it out: I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed! I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed! I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed!

good morning,dear teacher and my friends.

it’s a very intresting topic today.

i think my dad was a hero for me when i was a young child. we'd go fishing, walks, and other fun things for a kid.

every child has a good and great father, and so do i. my dad played a very important role in my daily life`````exactly speaking, in my past 16 years.

my father always stands in the center of my life，from past till now and possibly in the future.

my family was rather poor when i was in my childhood. we didn't have our own house and had to live in a shabby，small room rented from my father's factory. the room was so small that there was little space for people to walk. i didn't have my own bed and had to sleep with my parents. this is terrible both for my parents and me.

but father made this all different!he works very hard on his own business, now we have our own 2 housese,surly,i have my own he take our family so much happiness, richer and richer.

when i was little, i did everything with my dad. you could always find me sitting on his knee or walking and doing everything with him. every night he would read me a bed time story and make the voices of each character.

i learnt a lot from my daddy. i learnt to never take things to seriously and to always smile.

like many other fathers, my dad and i also has generation gap. he is not good at or even can’t work the computer. so when i sitting at the computer desk,he will say something like ‘you should pay more attention to your study’, ‘don’t waste time on the computer games’ , ‘it will be bad for your eyes’ and so on. how can i- a computer fan – reduce time on computer? so i continue studying and playing on it

years pasted, my father is over 45 now. it is time for me to look after him and i am sure i will do and we will live an even better life. and i will say,i really love you dad,cause you are the hero in my mind.

thank you so much!

中文譯文：

早上好,親愛的老師和我的朋友。

今天是一個非常種樂趣的主題。

我認為我爸爸是一個英雄給我當我還是個孩子。我們去釣魚,散步,孩子和其他有趣的事情。

每個孩子都有一個好和偉大的父親,我也是,我爸爸扮演了非常重要的角色在我的.日常生活‘’‘’準確地説,在我過去的20xx年。

我父親經常站在我生命的中心,從過去到現在甚至未來。

我家很窮當我在我的童年。我們沒有自己的房子,必須生活在一個破舊的,小房間租了從我父親的工廠。這個房間太小了,沒有空間讓人們走路。我沒有我自己的牀上,和我的父母不得不睡。這是可怕的對我的父母和我。

但父親這一切不同!他工作非常努力自己的事業,現在我們有自己的2 housese,粗暴,我有自己的房間。他把我們的家人幸福,富裕和更豐富。

當我小的時候,我和我的爸爸做了一切。你總是可以找到我坐在他的膝蓋或者散步和做一切和他在一起。每天晚上他會讀我牀上時間的故事,讓每個字符的聲音。

我從我爸爸那裏學到了很多。我學會了從不認真對待事情,總是微笑。

像很多其他父親一樣,我的爸爸和我也有代溝。他不擅長甚至不能電腦工作。所以當我坐在電腦桌前,他會説“你應該更注意你的學習,不要浪費時間在電腦遊戲上的,這將會對你的眼睛有害。我怎麼能——電腦風扇,減少時間在電腦嗎?所以我繼續學習和玩它

年粘貼,我父親現在45歲以上。是時候讓我照顧他,我相信我會做,我們會過一個更好的生活。我想説,我真的愛你爸爸,因為你是我心目中的英雄。

謝謝你這麼多!

“感恩的心，感謝天地，讓我一生勇敢做我自己……”我想這首歌是在告訴我們要學會感恩。

我們要感恩的人很多，例如：爺爺，奶奶，爸爸，媽媽等一切對我們有過養育之恩的人;軍人，醫生這些對我們有過間接或直接幫助的人。

那我們怎麼去感恩呢?其實方法很簡單，比如：在家人勞累的時候送上一杯暖暖的茶，再給他們捶捶背，這就是對家人的感恩。

其實對家人的感恩是很簡單的，只要真心報答他們，他們就會很開心。

我們不僅要感恩於身邊的人，還要報答我們的祖國，我們要：感恩!報答!因為祖國給予給我們的太多太多，我們只有好好學習才可以回報祖國。

"Grateful heart, thank heaven and earth, let me be brave to be myself all my life... "I think this song is telling us to learn to be grateful.

We have a lot of grateful people, such as: grandpa, grandma, father, mother, etc. Soldiers, doctors who have had indirect or direct assistance to us.

So how can we be grateful? In fact, the method is very simple, such as: to send a cup of warm tea when the family is tired, and then to beat the back, which is to be grateful to the family.

It's very simple to be grateful to your family, and they will be happy if you truly repay them.

We should not only be grateful to the people around us, but also repay our motherland. We should be grateful! Thanked! Because the motherland give us too much too much, we can only study hard to repay the motherland.

1、the thirsty pigeon

a pigeon, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.

zeal should not outrun discretion.

2、the wind and the sun

one day the wind said to the sun, “look at that man walking along the road. i can get his cloak off more quickly than you can.”

“we will see about that,” said the sun. “i will let you try first.”

so the wind tried to make the man take off his cloak. he blew and blew, but the man only pulled his cloak more closely around himself.

“i give up,” said the wind at last. “i cannot get his cloak off.” then the sun tried. he shone as hard as he could. the man soon became hot and took off his cloak.

3、little robert

little robert asked his mother for two cents.

"what did you do with the money i gave you yesterday?"

"i gave it to a poor old woman," he answered.

"you're a good boy," said the mother proudly. "here are two cents

more. but why are you so interested in the old woman?"

"she is the one who sells the candy."

There is a wonderful word which expresses the most original motions and desires among human-beings. With solving any kind of imperfections, our world has moved ahead. This is the word “innovation” that we cannot afford to lose. We chicaned every detail of the innovation. Thousands years before, we created fire when we took a stone to knock another one. Since Han Dynasty, four great inventions had been created and it is one of the greatest signs that China become to the ancient civilized country. And nowadays, thousands of software, products, architectures and public facilities have upgraded more than that about 100 years ago. So how did these happen? What will you do if you are not satisfied with your tools anymore? What will you do if old mode cannot afford to develop in a company? There is no doubt that we should innovate no matter where we are and what we do. Not because of the design itself, but actually for its intended purpose. If there was no Apple, everyone could not imagine how to contact others easily and enjoy a better Internet surfing. If there was no Microsoft, perhaps we still worked in a dim office and duplicate some troublesome documents. If there was no Newton, and no theory of gravity, maybe I will win the Nobel Prize like Newton rather than just standing here. I have heard that three apple changed the world. The first one seduced Eve. The second one awakened Newton. The third one was in the hands of Steve Jobs. We sort of think the innovation of the world began with apple. I imagine lots of people want to become another Newton or Jobs right now with just one hand to change the world, right? Have the innovation to follow your heart. It somehow already reflects what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. Via questioning, we can start to innovate. Via innovating, we can start to create better lives. No innovation, no improvement. No improvement, no success. And no success, no civilization. Now, our time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life! Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice! Don't let yourself down! It is the innovation that we cannot afford to lose!
