Dear teachers, dear students, hello everyone!
In our real life, everyone will have a successful experience, there are also encountered the bitter failure, success, a brilliant smile on his face; Encountered setbacks, some defeat, have a plenty of efforts to forge ahead, to meet difficulties. For our students, how should we face the success and failure of study and life?
This leads to the theme I want to talk about today - " victory is not arrogant defeat not lose heart". The ancients once said, " the winner is not proud, the loser is not discouraged. " speak is this truth, when you after their own efforts to succeed, must not be complacent, proud of the world, defiant, but should summarize the successful experience, make persistent efforts, to higher and better goals and strive for; When you encounter setbacks and failures, never lose heart, broken pot broken fall, but should carefully check what you do, to find out the reason, constantly sum up, will be from a failure to success. Failure is not terrible, terrible is that we can't realize their own shortcomings.
We often say that " failure is the mother of success", is on the road to success, failure is sometimes inevitable, the great inventor Edison is not after countless failures to success? After countless failures - success, in failure in success, finally invented the electric light. Edison is such, the Athens Olympic champion Liu Xiang is the same, he is also after countless failures to achieve such a remarkable record, achieved the Asian sprint gold medal zero breakthrough, for the Chinese people for the light, also for the Asian people for the light! But to learn from failure, learn from successful people, from the psychological understanding of failure is temporary, as long as you can adjust the state of mind, find out the problem, in addition to their hard work, you will be able to achieve their satisfactory results.
We have just had the mid-term exam, because each student's foundation is not the same, some students through their own efforts to achieve excellent results, and some students feel their grades are not ideal, did not reach their goals. So there are two kinds of mentality of students. Good examination with the society rejoiced, but not proud, but also to continue to move forward; Test temporarily irrational students don't pessimistic disappointment, leak to fill a vacancy, will eventually achieve excellent results. What I want to tell you is that the test is just a means of testing, through which you reflect the degree of knowledge you have learned since the beginning of the school, the level of scores can only represent the past, not represent the future. As long as you can analyze the reasons for your failure from the exam, summed up their shortcomings, I believe that in the future test you will be in the top.
thank you.

Should Smoking in Public Places be Banned?
Nowadays many countries in the world have passed laws to ban smoking in public places. Some smokers claim that their rights are infringed if smoking is forbidden in public places. However, most non-smokers regard the ban as good news. As far as I’m concerned, smoking should be banned in all the public places such as restaurants, theaters and public squares.
On the one hand, smoking is harmful both for smokers themselves and others. It is reported that every year smoking causes millions of death around the world. On the other hand, smoking pollutes the air. Just imagine that you sit in a restaurant full of smoke, how can you enjoy your meal there? Besides, smoking is bad for the elevation of a country’s image in the world.
I believe if smoking is banned in all the public places, most of us will breathe in more fresh and clean air. And the health condition of all the people will be greatly improved.

A survey about smokers in a middle school tells that although 90% of all students never smoke, 3% of them often smoke and 7% sometimes do. In other words, 10% of the students smoke. That’s terrible.
As we know, smoking is harmful to our health. Every year, thousands of people lose their lives because of it. Smoking not only does harm to your health, but also wastes money. Because, a fire may be caused by cigarette ends. It’s a pity to learn that one ends in death by smoking.
In all, smoking is so dangerous that we should keep away from it.

My Views on Receiving Education
In my early years, I did not see the value of education.
When I was going on thirteen, I started to run my own shop. From then on, I worked hard to become a successful businessman.
One day I realized the importance of the English language in the business world and started taking night classes.
I was able to communicate well with foreign customers after two years of English study. But I started to feel that, in the long run, having a limited knowledge of English was not enough to make my business successful. I knew that only a well- rounded education could guarantee my success in the future.
When I was eighteen, I had to make a decision to continue doing business or go back to school. There was one obstacle keeping me from getting an advanced education. I had only completed elementary school up to that point. I then went back to senior high school after four months of tutoring in different subjects. Being at school for the first time after so many years was somewhat embarrassing because my classmates were at least two or three years younger than I. I concluded that my age did not matter. The important thing was getting into college.
I took the College Entrance Exams. Although my math exam result was only one point below the required score. I never gave up hope. The following year, I took it again and received the highest score in my city. Achieving such an amazing result gave me encouragement and courage necessary to continue my education to the next step.
I am now in my second year of college and know that it is never too late to learn. My passion for studying and improving myself will never come to a halt as long as I continue to live.
“Live and Learn.” is the motto I have adopted. I believe with an education I will succeed. So, if you are wondering whether education is important, don’t hesitate a moment to step up and seize the opportunity.<
我對教育的看法
在我小的時候,我不覺得教育有什么價值。在13歲的時候,我開始經(jīng)營我自己的商店。從那時開始,我為成為一個成功的商人而努力工作。
一天,我意識到了英語對做生意的重要性并且開始上夜校。
在經(jīng)過兩年的英語學(xué)習(xí)之后,我已經(jīng)能夠很流利的和外國顧客交流。但我逐漸意識到,從長遠(yuǎn)來看,我現(xiàn)在僅有的英語知識無法使我的生意蓬勃發(fā)展。我知道只有淵博的知識是我未來成功的保證。
18歲的時候,我必須在繼續(xù)從商和重新回學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)之間做出選擇。當(dāng)時我僅有的小學(xué)學(xué)歷成為我接受高等教育的一大障礙。經(jīng)過4個月各門功課的惡補,我又回到了高中。多年后再次回到學(xué)校,讓我有些尷尬。因為我的同班同學(xué)至少比我小2至3歲。然而在我看來,年齡不是問題,重要的是能上大學(xué)。
我參加了高考。雖然我的數(shù)學(xué)只比分?jǐn)?shù)線低了一分。但我沒有放棄。第二年,我又參加了高考并取得了當(dāng)?shù)氐?第一名。得到這樣一個令人欣喜的結(jié)果,給了我進(jìn)一步深造的動力和膽量。
現(xiàn)在,我上大學(xué)二年級,也知道學(xué)無止境。只要我活者,我對學(xué)習(xí)和自我充實的熱情就不會減退。
“活到老,學(xué)到老”是我的座右銘。我堅信只有學(xué)習(xí)才會使我成功。因此,如果你對接受教育的重要性有所懷疑,不要猶豫,勇敢的邁出第一步,這樣幸運之神便會光顧你

Nothing is difficult if you put your heart on it. Nothing is easy if you don’t try your best.
We often hear people say,“Never give up.” This can be encouraging words and words of determination. A person who believes in them will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion,the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore,I believe that we should never give up.
One reason is that if we give up too easily,we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new,so we should not feel discouraged and should try again. Besides,if we always give up when we fail,we will not be able to develop new skills and grow as people. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort.
If we do not try again,the lesson we have learned is wasted. Finally,we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals,we develop confidence,and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives.
Probably the greatest example of persistence is Abraham Lincoln. Born into poverty,Lincoln was faced with defeat throughout his life. He lost eight elections,twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown.
He could have quit many times - but he didn't and because he didn't quit,he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of our country.
Lincoln was a champion and he never gave up.
In short,it is important that we don’t give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not,we will learn something,and what we learn will help us to bee better,more confident people. Furthermore,if we give up,we have no chance of attaining our goals,but if we keep trying,there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.Thank you very much!
如果你把你的心臟上沒有什么是困難的.沒有什么是容易的,如果你不嘗試你的.
我們經(jīng)常聽到人們說:“永遠(yuǎn)不要放下.”這能夠鼓勵決心的詞與詞.一個人誰相信他們將繼續(xù)努力,不管經(jīng)歷多少次失敗,到達(dá)到他的目標(biāo).在我看來,有決心的質(zhì)量成功是有一個重要的之一.所以,我認(rèn)為我們應(yīng)當(dāng)永不放下.
原因之一是,如果我們太輕易放下,就幾乎無法完成任何事.這是很平常的'我們在我們的一些新的第一次嘗試失敗了,所以我們不應(yīng)感到氣餒,應(yīng)當(dāng)再試一次.此外,如果我們總是放下當(dāng)我們失敗,我們將無法發(fā)展新的技能和成長的人.另外一個原因,我們不應(yīng)當(dāng)放下的是,我們能夠從我們的錯誤中吸取教訓(xùn),僅有我們作出新的努力.如果我們不再試一次,我們吸取的教訓(xùn)是浪費.最終,我們應(yīng)當(dāng)永不放下,因為當(dāng)我們努力到達(dá)我們的目標(biāo),我們就會培養(yǎng)出自信,而這種自信將有助于我們在生活的其他領(lǐng)域中獲得成功.
大概持續(xù)性的的例子就是林肯.出生在貧困家庭,林肯面臨著他一生的失敗.他輸八大選,兩次經(jīng)商失敗,并遭受了神經(jīng)衰弱.
他能夠放下很多次-但他并沒有因為他沒有放下,他成為我國歷最偉大的總統(tǒng)之一.
林肯是一個冠軍,他從來沒有放下過.
總之,這是我們努力追求目標(biāo)時,不放下是很重要的.無論我們最終還是沒有成功,我們都會學(xué)到一些東西,而我們學(xué)什么會幫忙我們變得更好,更有自信的人.此外,如果我們放下,我們沒有機會實現(xiàn)我們的目標(biāo),但如果我們繼續(xù)努力,總有一個機會,我們會有成功的.十分感激!

i have a dream today.
i have a dream that one day every vally shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
wow, what a dream it has been for martin luther king. but the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up, and sometimes i personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.
however, we meed dreams. they nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. they keep us going. most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great. when we were little kids, we all dreamed of doing something big and splashy, something significant. now what we need to do is to maintain them, refresh them and turn them into reality. however, the toughest part is that we oftenhave no ideas how to translate these dreams into actions. well, just start with concrete objectives and stick to it. dont let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong belief of future. through our talents, through our wits, through our endurance and through our creativity, we will make it.
hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. so my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. whatever it is, pick
it up and make it alive from today.

The stage of college will be the most important period of our life. We needto learn knowledge, at the same time, we also need to learn some skills, whichwill be of great help when we come to the job market. The ability we gain in thecollege will be useful all the time.
大學(xué)階段是我們生活中最重要的一個時期,我們需要學(xué)習(xí)知識,與此同時,我們也需要學(xué)習(xí)一些技能,這些技能對我們在就業(yè)市場上有很大的幫助。我們在大學(xué)獲得的能力會一直有用。
In college education, we need to change our way of learning. In highschool, we get use to learn what the teachers pass to us. Every thing they showus is correct. Teachers take the leader roles and students just follow them. Butnow students need to learn knowledge by themselves. As teachers will not show upmuch time, so they should improve their ability to learn.
在大學(xué)教育中,我們需要改變學(xué)習(xí)方式。在高中,我們習(xí)慣于老師傳授知識的方式。他們教給我們的知識都是對的。教師處于主導(dǎo)地位,學(xué)生被動學(xué)習(xí)。但是現(xiàn)在,學(xué)生需要自學(xué)。因為老師出現(xiàn)的時間不會很多,所以他們應(yīng)該提高自己的學(xué)習(xí)能力。
What’s more, as teachers are no longer the center role, they try tocultivate students’ way of thinking. Critical thinking is what the collegestudents most need. They are adults and should make their own decision. It istime for them to get rid of the out-date tradition, and creativity is what theyneed.
更重要的是,由于教師不再處于主導(dǎo)地位,所以他們試圖培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的思維方式。批判性思維是大學(xué)生最需要的。他們是成年人,應(yīng)該自己做決定。是時候讓他們擺脫過時的'傳統(tǒng)觀念,創(chuàng)造力才是他們所需要的。
The aim of college education is to broaden vision and master specialskills.
大學(xué)教育的目的是拓寬視野、掌握特殊技能。

Mr Chairman, Honorable Judges,
Good morning, I feel great honored to be here. ! Today I'd like to talk something about change!
Things in the world are changing. With the development of the economy my life is better off. For the clothing I have spare money to buy sorts of pretty clothes.
As we all know,difficulties hide in every corner of our life so we have to face them at times. But the problem is that we sometimes are not able to change the challenging situations at all as our abilities are limited. When it comes, we’d better change our attitude towards these can’t judge it is good or bad in general,because every coin has two sides.
There is an example about change oneself. A young man came to work in a company, at first he hold all kinds of lofty goals want to do a great business, but then he found; The company all the way up and out, as in his he is like air, invisible, and generally feel it, as does not exist generally...... Various pressures and prompted him to want to dissatisfaction with another company to begin his work, the new journey, but a best friends said to him, "now find a proper is not easy, why don‘t you look at yourself, then decide?" He embraced the idea of try stayed. Indeed he found, his own performance is not outstanding, the attitude is not friendly to colleagues, to work isn‘t aggressive enough... Finally he a rude awakening, after that, he became more friendly, active, work hard...... Also no longer as usual go it alone, when he again meet the best friends, the young man has been promoted as a manager.
From my point of view,changing ourselves accoeding to the specific situation is good for us. We should change ourselves firat and then the situation can be changed at last. It is very difficult for us to change our surroundings but much easier to change ourselves. People around us will see our change, after which they may change their attitude toward ge, can make you more harmonious and his colleagues, can make you look more excellent, can make other people to you is very satisfied, can make you more up a level!
Change, is the best ge yourself, change is successful state before, try to change their shortcomings, will give you a brilliant!!!!!
I still to change myself!
Thank you for your listening!

Thank you very much President Knapp for that kind intro. Alex, trustees, faculty and deans of the university, my fellow honorees, and especially you the class of 20xx. Yes.
Congratulations to you, to your family, to your friends that are attending today's ceremony. You made it. It's a privilege, a rare privilege of a lifetime to be with you today. And I think thank you enough for making me an honorary Colonial.
Before I begin today, they asked me to make a standard announcement. You’ve heard this before. About silencing your phones. Those of you with an iPhone, just place it in silent mode. If you don't have an iPhone, please pass it to the center aisle. Apple has a worldclass recycling program.
You know, this is really an amazing place. And for a lot of you, I’m sure that being here in Washington, the very center of our democracy, was a big draw when you were choosing which school to go to. This place has a powerful pull. It was here that Dr. Martin Luther King challenged Americans to make real the promises of democracy, to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
And it was here that President Ronald Reagan called on us to believe in ourselves and to believe in our capacity to perform great deeds. I'd like to start this morning by telling you about my first visit here. In the summer of 1977 yes, I’m a little old I was 16 years old and living in Robertsdale, the small town in southern Alabama that I grew up in. At the end of my junior year of high school I’d won an essay contest sponsored by the National Rural Electric Association. I can't remember what the essay was about, what I do remember very clearly is writing it by hand, draft after draft after draft. Typewriters were very expensive and my family could not afford one.
I was one of two kids from Baldwin County that was chosen to go to Washington along with hundreds of other kids across the country. Before we left, the Alabama delegation took a trip to our state capitol in Montgomery for a meeting with the governor. The governor's name was George C. Wallace. The same George Wallace who in 1963 stood in the schoolhouse door at the University of Alabama to block African Americans from enrolling. Wallace embraced the evils of segregation. He pitted whites against blacks, the South against the North, the working class against the socalled elites. Meeting my governor was not an honor for me.
My heroes in life were Dr. Martin Luther King, and Robert F. Kennedy, who had fought against the very things that Wallace stood for. Keep in mind, that I grew up, or, when I grew up, I grew up in a place where King and Kennedy were not exactly held in high esteem. When I was a kid, the South was still coming to grips with its history. My textbooks even said the Civil War was about states’ rights. They barely mentioned slavery.
So I had to figure out for myself what was right and true. It was a search. It was a process. It drew on the moral sense that I’d learned from my parents, and in church, and in my own heart, and led me on my own journey of discovery. I found books in the public library that they probably didn't know they had. They all pointed to the fact that Wallace was wrong. That injustices like segregation had no place in our world. That equality is a right.
As I said, I was only 16 when I met Governor Wallace, so I shook his hand as we were expected to do. But shaking his hand felt like a betrayal of my own beliefs. It felt wrong. Like I was selling a piece of my soul.
From Montgomery we flew to Washington. It was the first time I had ever been on an airplane. In fact it was the first time that I traveled out of the South. On June 15, 1977, I was one of 900 high schoolers greeted by the new president, President Jimmy Carter, on the south lawn of the White House, right there on the other side of the ellipse. I was one of the lucky ones, who got to shake his hand. Carter saw Baldwin County on my name tag that day and stopped to speak with me. He wanted to know how people were doing after the rash of storms that struck Alabama that year. Carter was kind and compassionate; he held the most powerful job in the world but he had not sacrificed any of his humanity. I felt proud that he was president. And I felt proud that he was from the South. In the space of a week, I had come face to face with two men who guaranteed themselves a place in history. They came from the same region. They were from the same political party. They were both governors of adjoining states. But they looked at the world in very different ways. It was clear to me, that one was right, and one was wrong. Wallace had built his political career by exploiting divisions between us. Carter's message on the other hand, was that we are all bound together, every one of us. Each had made a journey that led them to the values that they lived by, but it wasn't just about their experiences or their circumstances, it had to come from within.
My own journey in life was just beginning. I hadn't even applied for college yet at that point. For you graduates, the process of discovering yourself, of inventing yourself, of reinventing yourself is about to begin in earnest. It's about finding your values and committing to live by them. You have to find your North Star. And that means choices. Some are easy. Some are hard. And some will make you question everything. Twenty years after my visit to Washington, I met someone who made me question everything. Who upended all of my assumptions in the very best way. That was Steve Jobs.
Steve had built a successful company. He had been sent away and he returned to find it in ruins. He didn't know it at the time, but he was about to dedicate the rest of his life to rescuing it, and leading it to heights greater than anyone could ever imagine. Anyone, that is, except for Steve. Most people have forgotten, but in 1997 and early 1998, Apple had been adrift for years. Rudderless. But Steve thought Apple could be great again. And he wanted to know if I’d like to help.
His vision for Apple was a company that turned powerful technology into tools that were easy to use, tools that would help people realize their dreams. And change the world for the better. I had studied to be an engineer and earned an M.B.A. I was trained to be pragmatic, a problem solver. Now I found myself sitting before and listening to this very animated 40something guy with visions of changing the world. It was not what I had expected. You see, when it came to my career, in 1998, I was also adrift. Rudderless.
I knew who I was in my personal life, and I kept my eye on my North Star, my responsibility to do good for someone else, other than myself. But at work, well I always figured that work was work. Values had their place and, yes, there were things that I wanted to change about the world, but I thought I had to do that on my own time. Not in the office. Steve didn't see it that way. He was an idealist. And in that way he reminded me of how I felt as a teenager. In that first meeting he convinced me if we worked hard and made great products, we too could help change the world. And to my surprise, I was hooked. I took the job and changed my life. It's been 17 years and I have never once looked back.
At Apple we believe the work should be more than just about improving your own self. It's about improving the lives of others as well. Our products do amazing things. And just as Steve envisioned, they empower people all over the world. People who are blind, and need information read to them because they can't see the screen. People for whom technology is a lifeline because they are isolated by distance or disability. People who witness target=_blank class=infotextkey>witness injustice and want to expose it, and now they can because they have a camera in their pocket all the time.
Our commitment goes beyond the products themselves to how they’re made. To our impact on the environment. To the role we play in demanding and promoting equality. And in improving education. We believe that a company that has values and acts on them can really change the world. And an individual can too. That can be you. That must be you. Graduates, your values matter. They are your North Star. And work takes on new meaning when you feel you are pointed in the right direction. Otherwise, it's just a job, and life is too short for that. We need the best and brightest of your generation to lead in government and in business. In the science and in the arts. In journalism and in academia. There is honor in all of these pursuits. And there is opportunity to do work that is infused with moral purpose. You don't have to choose between doing good and doing well. It's a false choice, today more than ever.
Your challenge is to find work that pays the rent, puts food on the table, and lets you do what is right and good and just.
So find your North Star. Let it guide you in life, and work, and in your life's work. Now, I suspect some of you aren't buying this. I won't take it personally. It's no surprise that people are skeptical, especially here in Washington. Where these days you’ve got plenty of reason to be. And a healthy amount of skepticism is fine. Though too often in this town, it turns to cynicism. To the idea that no matter who’s talking or what they’re saying, that their motives are questionable, their character is suspect, and if you search hard enough, you can prove that they are lying. Maybe that's just the world we live in. But graduates, this is your world to change.
As I said, I am a proud son of the South. It's my home, and I will always love it. But for the last 17 years I’ve built a life in Silicon Valley; it's a special place. The kind of place where there’s no problem that can't be solved. No matter how difficult or complex, that's part of its essential quality. A very sincere sort of optimism. Back in the 90s, Apple ran an advertising campaign we called “Think Different.” It was pretty simple. Every ad was a photograph of one of our heroes. People who had the audacity to challenge and change the way we all live. People like Gandhi and Jackie Robinson, Martha Graham and Albert Einstein, Amelia Earhart and Miles Davis. These people still inspire us. They remind us to live by our deepest values and reach for our highest aspirations. They make us believe that anything is possible. A friend of mine at Apple likes to say the best way to solve a problem is to walk into a room full of Apple engineers and proclaim, “this is impossible.”
I can tell you, they will not accept that. And neither should you. So that's the one thing I’d like to bring to you all the way from Cupertino, California. The idea that great progress is possible, whatever line of work you choose. There will always be cynics and critics on the sidelines tearing people down, and just as harmful are those people with good intentions who make no contribution at all. In his letter from the Birmingham jail, Dr. King wrote that our society needed to repent, not merely for the hateful words of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people.
The sidelines are not where you want to live your life. The world needs you in the arena. There are problems that need to be solved. Injustices that need to be ended. People that are still being persecuted, diseases still in need of cure. No matter what you do next, the world needs your energy. Your passion. Your impatience with progress. Don't shrink from risk. And tune out those critics and cynics. History rarely yields to one person, but think, and never forget, what happens when it does. That can be you. That should be you. That must be you.
Congratulations Class of 20xx. I’d like to take one photo of you, because this is the best view in the world. And it's a great one.
Thank you very much.

Honourable judges,ladies and gentlemen,
Good afternoon! Today I would like to talk about the importance of keepingoptimistic. When we encounter difficulties in life,we notice that some of uschoose to bury their heads in the sand. Unfortunately,however,this attitudewill do you no good,because if you will have no courage even to face them,howcan you conquer them? Thus,be optimistic,ladies and gentlemen,as it can giveyou confidence and help you see yourself through the hard times,just as WinstonChurchill once said,“An optimist sees an opportunity in every calamity; apessimist sees a calamity in every opportunity.”
Ladies and Gentlemen,keeping optimistic,you will be able to realize,inspite of some hardship,there’s always hope waiting for you,which will lead youto the ultimate success. Historically as well as currently,there are too manyoptimists of this kind to enumerate.
You see,Thomas Edison is optimistic; ifnot,the light of hope in his heart could not illuminate the whole world. AlfredNobel is optimistic; if not,the explosives and the prestigious Nobel Prizewould not have e into being. And Lance Armstrong is also optimistic; if not,thedevil of cancer would have devoured his life and the world would not see a5-time winner of the Tour De France.
A rose may be beautiful,or maybe not; that depends on your attitude only,and so does success,so does life. Hindrances and difficulties do exist,but ifyou are optimistic,then they are only episodes on your long way to the throneof success; they are more bridges than obstacles! Now I prefer to end my speechwith the great British poet Shelley’s lines: “If winter es,can spring be farbehind?” Thank you!

My favorite holiday is New Year.Weaterners call it Chinese New Year.We call it Lunar New Year.
Its a big celebration.Its an important festival.Its the highlight of the year.
New Year comes during winter.Its cold and chilly then.But our hearts are warm and cheerful.
We follow old customs.We stick red couplets beside our doors.We clean up and sweep out our houses.
Everyone returns home.Families get together.We chat and have a big feast.
People visit each other.We greet relatives and neighbors.We exchange best wishes and gifts.
Its a super time for kids.We get presents and treats.We set off fireworks,too.
Best of all are red envelopes.Theyre gifts of money.We all love them the most.
New Year is a time to give thanks.Were grateful and happy.We expect a great year ahead.

Our common destiny
“ We are made wise not by the recollections of the past but by our responsibility for the future”
----George Bernard Shaw
China is faced with some enormous challenges as it enters the 21st century. In order to ensure the prosperity of our nation and its future generations we must confront and ultimately solve these challenges.
Some of the more pressing issues facing China are universal. These include environmental degradation, over population and the effects of globalization.
To overcome some of the things we need to implement include:
Enhancing our scientific and industrial technologies in such areas as IT, Bio- tech, AI and Cybernetics.
Further develop public infrastructure in under developed regions.
Promote education reform at all levels.
Introduce sustainable development initiatives.
The implementation of free trade agreement between China and ASEAN.
The benefit to China in introducing these initiatives will be significant and far-reaching. It is important to realize that these initiatives need to filter down through all elements of the society in China. For instance, cutting edge technologies and intellectual properties; the development of e-commerce based economy; an education system that encourages innovation and creativity; increased foreign investment; higher living standards; more efficient use of natural resources.
It is important for us to realize these reforms are both essential and necessary. These will help China to fulfill its vast and unrealized potential on the world stage. It will also contribute more to a globalized world of the new century.
As for the future our task is not to foresee but to enable.
我們的共同命運
“我們并不是靠回憶過去而變得睿智,我們之所以明智是由于我們有對未來的責(zé)任感”。
中國在邁向二十一世紀(jì)的同時,也面臨著一些巨大的挑戰(zhàn),為了確保我國的繁榮及為子孫后代著想,我們必須面對挑戰(zhàn)并最終從根本上解決它們。
一些中國即將面臨的挑戰(zhàn)迫切的問題是全球普遍存在的。這些問題包括環(huán)境惡化,人口過剩及全球化的影響。為了解決這些問題,我們需要實施以下措施
(1)提高并增強我們的科學(xué)及產(chǎn)業(yè)技術(shù),如在信息技術(shù)產(chǎn)業(yè),生物技術(shù)領(lǐng)域,人工智能以及神經(jīng)機械學(xué)領(lǐng)域;
(2)加快推動欠發(fā)達(dá)地區(qū)的公共設(shè)施建設(shè);
(3)促進(jìn)不同層次的教育改革;
(4)使可持續(xù)發(fā)展的觀念深入人心;
(5)推行中國與東南亞聯(lián)盟的自由貿(mào)易協(xié)定。
中國將受益于積極主動的采取具有重要深遠(yuǎn)意義的措施。認(rèn)識到這些措施需要實施到中國社會的各個層面是重要的,從而帶來廣泛且深遠(yuǎn)的各種改善,如:邊緣科技及知識產(chǎn)權(quán);發(fā)展以電子商務(wù)為基礎(chǔ)的經(jīng)濟; 一種鼓勵發(fā)明與創(chuàng)造的教育體制;的外國投資; 更高的`生活水平;更加有效的利用自然資源。
我們要意識到各項改革措施是根本的也是有必要的。這些將會促進(jìn)中國在世界舞臺上實現(xiàn)其巨大且尚未實現(xiàn)的潛力。
這也將會對全球化的新世紀(jì)做出貢獻(xiàn)。
至于未來,我們的任務(wù)不是去預(yù)知未來,而是努力去使其成為現(xiàn)實。
