　　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!

　　保护动物及它们的乐园

　　尊敬的评委们,女士们,先生们，你们好！

　　我叫王如文，来自内蒙古的小骏马英语学校。

　　我的题目是:“保护动物及它们的乐园”。

　　今天，我想借此机会与在这里的各位分享一些歌词，这些歌词是卡通片《风之彩》中的一部分：

　　……“每棵树，每块岩石，每个动物，

　　都有生命，有灵性，有名字，

　　森林，河流是我的兄弟；

　　苍鹭，水獭是我的朋友；

　　我们彼此依赖，永远相连……”

　　我也非常喜欢动物，我经常从电视的“动物世界”里看到很多那样精彩的画面，那是真正的动物乐园，完全是另一世界，阳光明媚，树木葱森，人与各种各样的动物，动物与动物之间，一同愉快地生活，谁生存，谁灭亡，在那里没有评判的标准，好像一切都顺其自然。那里真是美，简直无可比拟！但是，由于人类，动物的生存环境日益恶化，随着时间的推移，越来越多的树木被砍伐，越来越多的动物被捕杀，近些年来，他们的数量日益减少。你能想象到吗？如果那些可爱的动物朋友从地球消失的话，我们的生活会发生怎样的改变？还会有谁发现过乐园其中的美丽与神秘之处呢？

　　让我们照顾好我们的动物伙伴们，改善它们的生活环境，让我们一同尽最大努力，保护动物的乐园！

　　谢谢！

　　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!

　　友谊与SARS的对抗

　　我叫麦克。今天，我的话题是《友谊与SARS的对抗》。

　　大约三年前，我开始学英语。去年我开始去英语角。在那里我大大地提高了自己的英语水平，同时还交了很多朋友。尽管我从没去过美国，但我却可以说一口流利的英语，以至于很多人常常问我：“麦克，你在美国生活了多少年？”在那一刻我快乐极了。

　　很不幸，在去年春天一种奇怪的瘟疫在很多国家流行，其中包括中国，那就是SARS。这样，英语角就不复存在了。我到哪里练习英语？到哪里交朋友？我想起了我的电话号码本。也许我可以给朋友们打电话，那样的话我们就可以在电话上用英语交谈了。不过，我没有马上给朋友们打电话，因为我不知道这样做是否会打扰我的朋友。突然电话铃响了，我拿起听筒，就听到：“你好！我是琳达，你是麦克吗？”噢！我的朋友琳达先给我打电话了。我太感动了。就这样我和我的朋友们创建了“电话英语角”。靠我们的友谊，我们可以自豪地说：“SARS！想阻止我们学英语？没门儿！”在与SARS的斗争中，我们最终成了胜利者。今天我已经学会了如何面对像SARS这样的各种困难，这就是“Smile And Ready for Success”，（微笑着为成功做好准备）。注意一下大写字母S、A、R、S，我们也可以把它们叫做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，来自湖北省。我非常激动我能有机会到中央电视台继续这次比赛。今天我演讲的题目是我喜欢的海豚表演。

　　去年夏天，我的爸爸妈妈带我去了美国加州圣地亚戈的海洋世界。那天，天气晴朗。在那里有许多有趣的海洋动植物，如珊瑚礁、海龟、海狮和鲸。然而最吸引我的还是海豚馆的海豚表演。

　　海豚是一种很有智慧又非常喜欢玩耍的哺乳动物。我曾经在电影、电视和许多故事书里见过海豚。我感到格外高兴的是我能坐在水族馆里看真正的海豚表演。哈哈! 海豚出来了。驯物员前进，他们跟着前进；驯物员旋转，他们也跟着旋转，就像玩“你要叫我做什么，我就跟你做什么”的游戏。他们训练海豚如何用鳍状肢与人握手、跳圈。海豚甚至能用尾巴向观众席上打水，以示他们非常高兴和大家一起玩耍。瞧，有一个海豚跃起水面，用嘴衔着绳子在那里摇铃。真是太奇妙了。最后海豚们排成一排靠在池边，轻拍他们的上下颚，用喷水孔吹着哨子，好像在说：“謝謝，欢迎再次光临，再见”。多么聪明而又友好的海豚啊！

　　这就是海豚表演，我美好的回忆。甚至现在，有时我都会在梦里梦见我正在摇晃海豚的鳍状肢，拍着她的脊背，喂鱼给她吃。

　　谢谢!

　　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!

　　这就是我

　　大家好，我叫Emily，来自江西南昌。今天我的演讲题目是：“这就是我”。

　　虽然我只有九岁，但是我勤于思考。我的娱乐方式就是下国际象棋，因为“战斗”一旦打响，你的智慧将会随时受到考验。下棋的时候我会觉得自己是一名将军，棋盘上的国王只不过是我的部下罢了。“开战”前，我会对我的将士们念一段“魔咒”，使他们所向披靡。当然，那些棋子不可能真的听懂我说的话，可是这些话真的每次都很有效！赢棋的感觉实在是太好了，那感觉就像我真的是一名将军！

　　那些“咒语”其实是我从一本历史书上学来的，书名是《史记》，作者叫司马迁。

　　看历史书是我的另一爱好。虽然我不能回到过去，但我可以在史书中凭着想象神游那些久远的年代。每读到古代英雄壮烈牺牲的故事时我都会伤心落泪；如果没有他们，这个世界现在会是什么样子呀？！

　　我热爱历史，我的梦想就是长大后当一名考古学家。我对自己充满信心。我希望在座的大家都能像我一样找到自己的理想，并希望你们梦想成真！

　　谢谢！

　　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!

　　宁夏-----回族之乡

　　嗨，大家好，我叫陈曦，我的英文名字叫Sophie。你们一定不会想到我来自遥远的大西北，而且还是中国的回族之乡-----宁夏，作为回族自治区的小选手，我更愿意将我眼中的回族介绍给你们。

　　我是一个爱美的小女孩，所以我首先注意到的是回族的服装。男子戴白色或黑色的无檐帽，身穿黑坎肩儿。女子戴盖头。盖头的颜色因年龄各不相同，老年妇女戴白色盖头，中年妇女戴黑色盖头，青年女子戴绿色盖头，她们看起来美丽极了。

　　回族有着良好的生活习惯和独特的风俗习惯，这对他们的健康很有好处。他们禁食猪肉和自死禽兽的肉，并且不能抽烟、喝酒。

　　在我眼中最有趣的要数回族的饮茶习惯。回族喝的茶叫“盖碗茶”，茶盅内除了茶叶外，还有枸杞、红枣、芝麻、葡萄干等。喝水时要左手托盅，右手抓盖，并且用盖将浮在上面的芝麻轻轻刮开，边饮茶边嚼芝麻，喝一口温润醇香，沁人心脾，具有很好的保健作用。

　　快到我的家乡来做客吧，这里有最美的民歌“花儿”唱给你听，这里有醇香的“盖碗茶”等你来品，这里有鲜嫩的羊羔肉等你来尝，这里更有热情好客的回族朋友等你到来.

　　谢谢大家。

　　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!

　　我想作一只展翅高飞的雄鹰

　　也许我与许多同年的孩子有所不同，从我记事起，病魔就夺走了我许多童年的快乐，我所见到的世界是医院和病人。由于病情的恶化，肾脏的巨大积水，险些使我丧失了性命。我已记不清父母带我辗转了多少家医院，看了多少知名的大夫，更让我刻骨铭心的是，在我第一次手术失败后，因为身体虚弱，吊针非常难打，当班的护士轮番给我扎了21 针，我哭喊着：阿姨您快给我扎上，快给我扎上！父母紧紧地抱着我，泪水和汗水浸透了我们的衣衫。

　　是北京儿童医院的两位大夫，以她们精湛的医术挽救了我的生命。

　　1999年9月1日，是我最为快乐的一天，我上学了！由于术后体弱，我几乎是半年上学、半年休息，看到同学们背着书包去上学、在校园里玩耍打闹，我常常透过窗户仰望天空，望着天空中自由翱翔的雄鹰呐喊着：雄鹰大哥快下来帮帮我吧！我也想和您一起到天空中去飞翔！

　　也许是苍天的恩赐，或是人世间太多的关爱，我常常以优异的佳绩赢得了社会的尊重。虽然我现在还比较弱小，但我的目标是想作一只展翅高飞的雄鹰，在未来知识的天空中自由地翱翔，为人类不再有疾病、贫困、战争的哀伤，飞的更高、更远。谢谢！

　　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!

　　日记——我最好的朋友

　　亲爱的朋友们，早上好！

　　你们想不想知道我是怎样开始写日记的？她又是怎么成为我最好的朋友的呢？那么，让我来告诉你们吧。那是我六岁半的时候，我跟妈妈一起逛书店。突然，我在书架上看到一本漂亮的日记本，封面上布满着各种各样可爱的昆虫图案。我渴望地问妈妈：“妈妈，我可以买这本日记本吗？”

　　妈妈回答说：“除非你向我保证每天用英语写日记。”

　　“好吧。”我想也没想就答应了。

　　回到家，我小心翼翼地用英语写下了第一篇日记，这是我一生中的第一篇。虽然不是写得很好，但那是引导我今天来到这里的第一步。现在，我已经写了五年的日记了。

　　当我高兴的时候，我就用很大的字母来表达我的快乐。当我感到沮丧的时候，我就写得飞快，并且搞得一团糟，就是为了发泄。当我读到一本棒极了的小说，像《雾都孤儿》、《简·爱》、《哈利·波特》等等，我就写下自己的感受。

　　然而，我曾经有过一段写日记难熬的日子，我开始对她感到厌烦，后悔当时买下了她，觉得那时我像个白痴一样答应了妈妈。可是妈妈一直都在鼓励我，她告诉我写日记的诸多好处，比如，可以提高我的英语写作水平，长大之后再看自己写的日记，会在其中找到许多很有趣的事情，等等。

　　于是，日记就成了我最好的朋友。我向她倾诉我的一切，高兴的事和伤心的事。她很忠诚，不会泄露我的秘密。她总是和我一起分享我的快乐和沮丧，我在她那里找到了乐趣。

　　你们有没有兴趣来写写日记呢？她也有可能会成为你最好的朋友。我会一直保持这个习惯写下去，她将成为我永远的朋友。

　　谢谢!

　　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!

　　我的英语老师

　　女士们、先生们：

　　下午好！我叫邓玮，今年12岁。今天我要演讲的题目是“我的英语老师”。

　　自从我开始学习英语以来，我有过几位英语老师。我从她们那里学到了许多知识，她们在英语学习方面给予了我很大的帮助，我永远也不会忘记她们。但今天我愿意为大家介绍一位特殊的英语老师，他不仅教给我好的学习方法，而且使我对英语产生了浓厚的兴趣——他就是我的爸爸。

　　我爸爸是一名高级工程师，他经常鼓励我努力学习英语。他告诉我学习英语必须要从口语学起，就像一个小孩儿先学说话后学写字一样。

　　按照爸爸的方法，我首先开始了口语的学习。通过几个月的口语学习，我学了许多英语故事。我经常复述故事，并试着用故事中的语言与人交际。用这种方法进行学习，使我对英语产生了浓厚的兴趣，也激起了我学习英语的强烈愿望。

　　其次，爸爸给我买了许多英—汉对照书籍。他经常告诉我读书使人明智，使人完善。书为我们展示了丰富多彩的知识，读书使我的视野更开阔，也使我的英语知识更丰富。

　　现在，我对英语比以前更加着迷。我喜欢读书，喜欢用英语与别人交流。我相信了爸爸的话，因此我在英语学习方面取得了很大进步。现在我不仅能够熟练地用英语与人交际，也可以很好地用英文进行写作。在这里，我由衷地对我的父亲——我特殊的英语老师道一声：“谢谢您！”

　　谢谢！

　　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.

　　我爱我的家乡

　　大家好：

　　我叫罗霖，我来自西宁。

　　我爱浩瀚的大海，我爱广阔的天空，但我最爱我的家乡——青海西宁！

　　青海离北京非常远，她的省名原于青海湖。青海湖位于青藏高原东北部，她覆盖着4.58平方千米，是全国最大的内陆湖，也是全国最大的咸水湖。湛蓝的湖水，波浪起伏，十分壮观，十分美丽。每当冬天到来时，冻结的湖，银妆素裹的山和茫茫的草原，山舞银蛇，简直是一幅仙境。

　　春天，绿色的草原，各色的花，成千上万的鸟从南方移居到青海湖的鸟岛上，此时也是鸟儿繁衍生殖的季节，大大小小的鸟蛋不计其数，鸟爸爸鸟妈妈在精心的照顾她们的孩子。放眼望去渔船漂浮在湖面上，蓝蓝的湖水，草原上骏马奔驰，牛羊成群，牧童的吆喝声，优美动听的“花儿”，蓝天白云，这是您理想的避暑胜地。还有美丽的夏都西宁举办的郁金香节正欢迎您的到来。朋友：您不想到青海来领略和享受吗？记住，到青海来别忘了到神秘的塔尔喇嘛寺哟！

　　这就是我的家乡！

　　我爱我的家乡！

　　我爱青海！

　　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.

　　假如我是市长，我将…

　　假如我是市长，我将尽我所能来控制浪费和污染，使我们能有一个健康和清洁的环境。

　　我注意到用于洗车上的浪费和污染的确是一个大问题。我认为不应使用自来水而应该用经过处理后的水洗车，这样水的价格低了，人们会愿意到洗车场而不是自己去洗车。我还发现洗车用的化学制剂会污染水源，它们会渗到土壤里然后再排到河流里，使河里的浮游生物和有机体死掉。难道我们不应该防患于未然吗？据报道，城市中每天用于治理污染所花费的时间和财力相当多。如果我们能够采用一种新技术和方法使水得到再循环利用，那么不仅使有限的资源得以利用，而且也利于环境保护。

　　目前，我们正面临着资源匮乏和环境污染这两大问题，我们必须立即行动起来。假如我是市长，我要号召政府和市民一道解决上述问题，这就是我首先要为家乡做的事情。我相信通过努力，我们能够并会使我们的城市变得更加美丽。

　　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!

　　动物

　　你喜欢动物吗？我可喜欢动物啦！虽然它们有不同的种类，但是都同样有趣。在2001年的夏天，我去英国游学了一个月。我去了那里的动物园，并且观看了许多动物。

　　我先去看了火烈鸟。看！它们正在戏水呢！火烈鸟是粉红色的，非常美丽。虽然火烈鸟比许多鸟都要大，它们仍然可以飞得很轻巧。听！它们在唱歌呢！多么美妙的歌啊！听到这歌声，我想到了我自己。我也有一副金嗓子呢！

　　然后，我去看了猴子。它们多可爱啊！它们可活跃了。它们一边吃着香蕉，一边在岩石上爬上爬下。我也很活跃。我可喜欢运动啦！

　　看完猴子之后，我又去看了老虎。它们正在大声咆哮。它们都穿着漂亮的外套。老虎是丛林之王，所以老虎有着领袖的气质。以后，我也会成为一位领袖呢！

　　如果你想去看动物，你不一定要去动物园，因为动物无处不在。你看，剑桥大学的徽标上有几只骏马，而奥运会的吉祥物也是动物。也许在一个星期天早上，你可以听到几只小鸟站在树上对你说“早上好”；或者你可以看见几只小猫在你上学的路上散步呢！

　　动物是我们的朋友，它们使我们的生活更有趣。因此，我们应该尽我们所能来保护动物！

　　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.

　　我的未来不是梦

　　当妈妈告诉我：加拿大的朋友要来家里做客，我兴奋了好长的时间。中国古语说：“有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎？”

　　我问妈妈：“他们来了我们怎么交谈呢？”“用英语呀”，“那如果将来我有机会去他们家做客呢？”“也是英语”“可这不公平！”“为什么？”妈妈笑着看着问我。“他们来中国，我用英语交谈，我要是出国，他们也应该跟我说汉语呀”妈妈一时无言以对，啊，一个想法突然冒了出来：将来我一定要成为一名优秀的双语教师，到世界上传播我们民族优美的语言。

　　我喜欢英语，英语学习是快乐的，我曾想当一名英语老师。我也十分的喜爱语文，很小就能背诵大量的诗歌，读很多的书，我又想当一名语文老师，现在好了，我的两个梦都可以实现了：用英语作为工具，教许多外国朋友学习汉语，每一个学生不管贫穷还是富有，强壮还是弱小，我都会一视同仁，让越来越多的人了解中华民族五千年的文化、悠久的历史和今天的伟大的成就。

　　我的未来不是梦，我相信我一定会成功！

　　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“责”难逃

　　今天，我要谈的，是在中国家庭中最普通的一件事。

　　我已经12岁了，但在家里，家务活可不是我的分内事。一切事情都由爸爸妈妈打理，甚至打扫我的房间。虽然我知道爸爸妈妈很忙，但我还没有感到抱歉。我只在妈妈要求我的时候做一点。

　　一次，妈妈正在准备晚餐，她希望我能帮帮忙，但这时我的电脑“嘟嘟嘟……”地响起铃声，是好友在网上呼叫我，我忘记了一切，和朋友海阔天空地神聊起来。不一会，我的肚子开始唱“空城计”了。妈妈在叫开饭了，正点！我狼吞虎咽地吃着饭，心不在焉，脑中满是与朋友们热侃的话题。爸爸要求我洗碗，可是我没有在意，吃完饭后，我把脏盘子一推，就悄悄地溜掉了。接下来的故事大家都知道，我可以随心所欲地做自己的事情了。这类状况在家中会屡次发生。

　　渐渐地我意识到，我的心中只有自己，我忘记了关心他人。

　　我们是一个家庭。这个词看起来很小，含义却很深刻。还是一个充满感情的词汇，是一个洋溢着爱的词汇。在一个家庭里，我们应该分享快乐和美丽的时光，也应该承担一定艰苦与乏味的劳动。学会关心他人，学会感谢家庭，学会承担责任。但我总是忘记，那是不公平的。从此以后，在我的课余时间，我会记起做些家务。不仅是打扫自己的房间，还要为全家做点“奉献”。

　　这才是一个充满爱的家庭，一个真正的家庭。谢谢！

　　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.

　　还我一个洁净的世界

　　女士们，先生们，早上好。

　　我的演讲题目是：还我一个洁净的世界

　　我喜欢草坪，喜欢草坪上晶莹剔透的露珠，还喜欢小草散发的阵阵清香，更喜欢在绿绿的草坪上玩耍；柔软的草坪抚摸着我，就像妈妈抚摸着我的脸。

　　如今，大大小小的草坪装饰着现代化的城市，但垃圾却随处可见，大量的垃圾污染了我玩耍的天地。我太想拥有一个洁净的世界了。

　　假如我们生活在垃圾的世界里，那是多么可怕啊！其实，大部分垃圾都是可以重新利用的：报废汽车上的金属是好的工业原料；废旧报纸、杂志可重新造纸；食物垃圾就是很好的肥料……

　　你知道吗？很多垃圾还是很好的建筑材料呢！我相信有一天，我们未来城市的建筑物、街道都可以用垃圾来建造；电影院、公园、餐馆,甚至我们穿的衣服都会是再生材料呢！谁都无法想象,那时的垃圾与我们的日常生活有多么密切!但是用垃圾建造一个美丽、洁净的城市现在还是一个梦想；我希望，我长大后，可以发明一种神奇的多功能机器，让所有的垃圾都能变废为宝，到那时，天是蓝盈盈的、水是清凌凌的，草地更碧绿、花儿更鲜艳、空气更清新，我们的世界更洁净！

　　这是一个梦想吗？绝对不是！谢谢大家！

　　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!

　　书――我世界上最好的老师

　　女士们，先生们：

　　大家好！我叫唐钰，英文名叫Angie，我7岁了。我想我们每位同学都有很多老师，我也一样，但是我还有一位最好的老师――那就是书。

　　妈妈在我很小的时候就给我讲许多有趣的故事，每天晚上我都是听着妈妈的故事进入梦乡，《白雪公主》、《爱丽丝漫游奇境》、《米老鼠》等都是我的老朋友。从小我就对书充满了好奇，现在我能进行中、英文双语阅读，我常常会一头扎进书里而忘记了时间。有时候我对故事的情节惊奇不已，到深夜了我还不想睡觉。

　　在阅读中我结识了很多朋友，如汉姆雷特、彼得潘，还有哈利波特。他们中有的勇敢、有的机智、有的美丽善良、有的不怕困难，看书使我感到非常快乐。

　　真得谢谢那些书，现在我灵机一动就能写出好文章。我想也不能光读别人的好书，因此我常常把自己关在屋里，试着自己写故事，可爱的青蛙、小鸭、还有叽叽喳喳叫的麻雀都成了我笔下的主人公，昨天我数了我一年里写的故事，猜猜看，我写了多少？――10个。

　　好书就像好老师，教给什么是对和什么是错，什么是真和什么是假，什么是美和什么是丑，书伴随着我成长，将来我长大了，我也要写很多好书，让其他孩子伴随着我的书成长.

　　谢谢！

　　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

　　上个月的一天我参加了一个非常重要的比赛。比赛的优胜者将在第二天得到电话通知。我确信我能够获得一等奖，所以我迫不及待地想要知道结果。

　　第二天，因为有事我不得不出去，直到下午才能回来。所以我要爸爸待在家里听电话。

　　我一到家，就立即问爸爸：“我的比赛结果怎么样？”爸爸漠不关心地回答道：“很难过地告诉你，你只得到了三等奖。”“不,绝对不可能, 肯定搞错了！” 我流着泪大叫道。我希望爸爸只是在捉弄我，所以我又对他大叫道：“你骗人，快说实话！”爸爸严肃地对我说：“我想告诉你一件更重要的事情——比一个出色的比赛结果还要重要, 那就是 ‘应怎样面对比挫折’。在这之前我想告诉你实际上你得了冠军。但是你应该知道，将来你会面对许多比赛，而你不可能每次都获胜。你应该有一个正确积极的方法去对待挫折，要乐观，试着高兴起来并下一次更加努力。另外，就算你获得了冠军，你也不应该骄傲自满，你应该记住:‘人外有人，天外有天。’

　　今天我站在这里参加这次比赛，我将尽我最大的努力去争取得到冠军。但是如果我没有使我的意志实现，我也决不会哭泣!因为我已知道：“人外有人，天外有天。”

　　我的演讲结束了，谢谢。

　　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

　　女士们、先生们，下午好。我叫符均。今天我的演讲题目是“我最敬佩的人”。

　　我最敬佩的人是我的妈妈。她是一位英语老师。她很受学生们的欢迎，因为她花了很多时间在她所教的课程上，而且她还很幽默。学生们都很喜欢听她的课。

　　我的妈妈不仅是一个好老师，而且她还是个好母亲。她对我很耐心而且说话时总带着微笑。妈妈教我如何独自思考，并帮助我树立自信心。当我在学习上有问题时，每次都是妈妈鼓励我，直到我解决了问题。当我感到伤心或心情不好时，每次都是妈妈细心地照顾我。

　　我记得去年有一次我在午夜时发烧，妈妈飞快地把我送到医院。当我从医院打完针回来时，已经是凌晨5点了。妈妈只睡了2个小时，因为她要在7点钟给我准备早餐，然后去上班。那天，妈妈一定很累了。

　　我妈妈虽然不太漂亮，但我敬佩她，我爱她。

　　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!

　　怎样拥有快乐？

　　大家好！我叫范逸临，来自北京。我今天演讲的题目是：怎样拥有快乐?

　　每个人都希望拥有快乐，快快乐乐地过一生是我们每个人的心愿。可是我们如何才能拥有快乐呢？

　　其实你的人生是否快乐，是可以由你自己来选择的。有一句话说得好：生活像一面镜子，你朝它微笑，它会用微笑回报你；如果你双眉紧锁，它也将还你同样的表情。当你身处顺境时，会感到非常快乐，但生活不可能时时事事随你所愿。我有一个好朋友，他的身体很棒。我常想：如果我的身体像他一样结实该多好啊！可是他也常对我说：“如果我的学习像你一样好，我会感到非常快乐的”。我们俩都拥有被对方羡慕的东西，但我们都不感到快乐。试想，如果交换一下，我们会满意吗？当然不会，因为我们还会有别的更多的奢望。没有人能拥有一切，重要的是要用一种正确的心态去对待它，并且尽力去把它做得更好，最终你会拥有快乐。

　　另一方面，快乐也源自你对他人的态度。带着一颗爱心去关心、帮助他人，你的内心会充满快乐。其实我们每个人都有一份珍贵的礼品可以送人，它会使你周围的人更温暖，使这个世界更美好，使你更快乐，这就是一份灿烂的微笑。既然微笑这么容易做到，快乐又如此重要，那么从现在开始，让我们笑一笑吧，我们将拥有快乐。

　　谢谢！

　　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.

　　需要与想要

　　上个月，有一天当我看中央电视台新闻的时候，一条新闻引起了我的注意：一个生活在某大城市里的小女孩，春节后一下子花掉了五千元钱，这些钱来自她收到的压岁钱。当问及这么多钱花在什么地方了时，小女孩回答说她买了许多新奇的文具啊，玩具啊什么的。

　　我由此想到了报纸上的一些报道。在一些穷困的地方，如我国的西部地区，有很多孩子仍背着皱巴巴的书包，用着破旧的课本，在简陋的教室里上课。即使是一小截铅笔，也能给他们带来莫大的快乐。

　　这两则新闻给了我们多么大的反差，并且引发了一个严肃的主题——让每个人知道自己的“需要与想要”是多么重要啊！

　　“需要”是我们必须有和必须做的。换句话说，没有这些“需要”的东西就会有麻烦。“想要”是人们希望得到的东西——更好的，更棒的。它不是为必需之用，而是为享受之用。由此可以看出，那些新奇的东西对于那个小女孩而言不是必需的。相反的，铅笔对于穷困地区的学生而言绝对是必需的，否则他们就只能在地上写字了。

　　作为一个城市中的小女孩，我当然也想要很多流行的东西。但是每当我想到那些穷孩子的需要，我总会放弃我的那些想要，转而把钱捐献给那些穷孩子们。为此我感到很自豪。试想一下，如果少买一双暴走鞋，或许就能让十个孩子背上新书包；少买一个掌上游戏机，或许可以让一个班级的学生一年都有铅笔用。如果每个人都能够这样想，这样做，我相信我们的世界将会变得更美好！

　　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：人类最高的需求

　　孩子一出生，其教育便开始了。他睁眼看着周围世界里琳琅满目的神奇造型与斑斓色彩，竖耳聆听着愉悦的撞击与声响。教育随着他的出生开始了，此后将贯穿他的一生。教育是对生活的检验，教育是对生活的享受，教育本身就是生活。

　　全世界，每年都有成百上千万的学生走进课堂接受教育，美国、英国这样的发达工业化国家具有最先进最完美的教育体系。

　　在中国，政府万分重视对孩子们的教育。他们享受着九年制义务教育。如今每年都有越来越多的孩子走进高等学府，越来越多的大学毕业生，或治学国内，或留学海外，攻读硕士或博士学位。

　　我为生在中国而感到骄傲。我感到中国与世界发达国家在教育方面的差距日渐缩小，我们在载人宇宙飞船发射等高科技领域不是已经赶上了发达国家的水平？

　　我决心更加努力学习，誓为亲爱的祖国做出更大的贡献，把她装点成世界上最美丽的国家。

　　学无止境。毕业离校后，人人还要坚持学习。“活到老，学到老”，这句名言我永志心头。

　　你怎样做呢?

　　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!

　　我奇异的梦想

　　“奇异的星期五”是我最喜爱看的电影之一。这部电影讲述的是一对本来相互间缺乏理解的母女，在一个星期五发生了角色互换：女儿变成了妈妈，妈妈变成了女儿。在她们母女各自变回自己之前，她们开始体验对方的生活，从而使得彼此之间形成了相互理解，最终因为理解又使她们变回了自己。看完这部电影之后，我就产生了一个奇异的梦想：我也要和我的妈妈互换角色。

　　如果我真的能够变成我的妈妈，那么我就可以做许多我现在当女儿不能做的事情。比如：妈妈总是不让我吃肯德基，因为她担心我会变胖。但是如果我的梦想成真那么这一切就会改变，我就可以想吃什么就吃什么。到时候我会吃很多很多的巧克力、炸薯条、还有糖果；我还会去买许多漂亮的衣服；我甚至可以戴耳环，而我现在连耳眼还没有打呢。当然我最喜欢的一件事情——就是可以再也不用写作业了。

　　但是，仔细想来，如果我真的变成了妈妈也会有不好的地方。比如：我得去上班，而我根本不知道如何去工作，到时我的“同事们”肯定会说：“你昨天打字还挺快的，今天却就这么慢，你是怎么了？”这一定会使我感到很难堪；同时在家里我还得做许多的家务：象洗衣服、洗碗、擦地板、打扫房间等等。不过成为妈妈后我可以挣很多钱，所以不管怎么说，我还是梦想能够成为妈妈。

　　也许我真的成为了角色中的“妈妈”，我会发现那并不是我想要的，也许到时我还是想变回女儿；但是，毕竟我现在有这么的一个奇异的梦想，虽然我知道这一切都不可能发生，但我还是希望能够有这种梦想的体验。

　　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!

　　时间

　　时间是生命中最重要的东西，也是地球上最珍贵的东西。

　　时间不等任何人，它不会停留，它只会无声无息地流逝。嘀嘀嗒嗒的秒针不会倒转，时光不会再来。我们永远不能重过流逝的每一秒。

　　时间包括过去，现在和未来。过去正像其名字一样，是过去的往事。正像我前面讲过的那样，它不会重来，它留给我们的只是记忆，一种铭刻在脑海中的难忘的记忆。另一方面，未来是我们要面对的，它展现在你的面前，你可以对未来有美好的梦想，但你必须抓住现在的分分秒秒，使得你的梦想成真。因为现在是这三种时间段中最重要的一段。你可以改变你的未来，但却不能改变过去。你可以选择未来，但不能选择过去。

　　朋友们，请不要抱怨过去，高兴地面对你所得到的一切，努力筹划未来。因为时间虽然不能变慢，但我们可以充分利用。还是古话说的好：“ 不要让时间牵着你走，你应该让时间跟着你走。”这是我所听到的最好的句子。时间就是金钱，时间就是生命。浪费时间等于慢性自杀！

　　朋友们，如果你过去取得过骄人的成绩，请不要陶醉在里面。如果你过去没有做好，也不要失去自信。我们应该明白一个道理，“没有耕耘就没有收获”。加油吧，朋友们！尽最大努力，利用好现在的分分秒秒，让你的未来变得更加灿烂辉煌！
