Ladies and Gentlemen：

Today I am very glad to be here to share with you my ideas of success. What is success? It is what everyone is longing times success would be rather simple. Winning a game is success; getting a high grade in the exam is success; making a new friend is success; even now I amstanding here giving my speech is somehow also success.

However, as a person’s whole life is concerned, success becomes very complicated. Is fortune success? Is fame success? Is high social status success? No, I don’t think so. I believe success is the realization of people’s hopes and days, in the modern society there are many peoplewho are regarded as the successful. And the most obvious characteristics of hem are money, high position and luxurious life. So most people believe that s success and all that they do is for this purpose. But the problem is wether it is real success.

We all know there are always more money, higher position and better condition in front of us. If we keep chasing them, where is the end? What will satisfy us at last? Therefore, we can see, to get the real Success we must need something inside, which is the realization of people’ hopes and ideals.

Different people have different ideas about success; cause people’s hopes and ideas vary from one another. But I am sure every success is dear to everybody, cause it is not easy to come by, cause in the process of our striving for success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightened by the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and sense of responsibility. These are the best treasures. So now I am very proud that I have this opportunity to stand here speaking to all of you. It is my success, cause I raise up to challenge my hope.

What is success? Everyone has his own interpretation as I do. But I am sure every success leads to an ever-brighter future. So ladies and gentlemen, believe in our hopes, believe in ourselves, we, every one of us, can make a successful life! Wish you all good success!

Good Evening, my fellow Americans.

Tonight I want to talk to you on a subject of deep concern to all Americans and to many people in all parts of the world, the war in Vietnam.

I believe that one of the reasons for the deep division about Vietnamis that many Americans have lost confidence in what their Government has told them about our policy. The American people cannot and should not be asked to support a policy which involves the overriding issues of war and peace unless they know the truth about that policy.

Tonight, therefore, I would like to answer some of the questions that I know are on the minds of many of you listening to me.

How and why did America get involved in Vietnam in the first place?

How has this administration changed the policy of the previous Administration?

What has really happened in the negotiations in Paris and the battlefront in Vietnam?

What choices do we have if we are to end the war?

What are the prospects for peace?

Psychologist tell us that stress is a state of worry caused by the problem of living , such as too much work or study , heavy responsibilities , and quickened pace of life .

Statistics show that stress comes from every detail in our life . Financial problems , poor health , being laid off may be the stress that most adults now suffering . As students in the university , we are also under our special stress . While study , having to take various tests and submit a project against a deadline may put a great pressure on us . And the things make us felt stressed may be our parents's greater expectations on us than we could reach . Later , when we are likely to graduate , some other problems will also annoy us . I think we will worry a lot about our ability to compete in the job market and how we can best use what we've learned at college in our future job .

The chief problem we should face to is our atitude towards stress .People usually say they can not live in the sun except they escape from stress . It's unwelcome ! Yes , however , very necessary . Just image a world where stress does not exist and people lead their life in a very comfortable way . But is this kind of living condition as perfect as we hope ? Without stress , they may feel very satisfied with the current life but lack of power to discover new things . Too much satisfaction result in nothing except a countermarch of the society . No stress , no development . So a certain amount of stress is good . It can stimulate us and increase our level of alertness .

And our answer to stress is another vital problem . How to do with ourselves when stress suddenly break into our life ? To wave the white flag and admit our unability , to give up to our ideality , or worstly , just to suicide as to put an end to everything. Of cause not . The principle is to tackle with stress gentlely and harmoniously. We should try our best to release ourselves . Such as to do some exercise , to linsen to traditional Chinese music or classical music to ease our minds and to learn to view these changes of life as challenges .It's no use crying over spilt milk . Only to accept what has happened can solve the problem .

Ok , I think I was under large stress 3 minutes before , but now I am here and have finished my speech . Here is the last thing I want to add to my topic ,face to it and overcome it ,stress is also a piece of cake .

That is all . Thank you very much.

The Importance of confidence

Whatever one does, one should do it with confidence. If one has no confidence, there is little possibility that one would ever achieve anything, especially when one is faced with drawbacks or hardships. This truth seems to be evident. However, in reality we do see a lot of people who complain that they like the ability to do something or that their difficulties are too great to be overcome. For someone, this might be true. But for many others, this only shows that they have lost heart.

Why do people often feel frustrated even though they are capable of doing something? There are, among others, two main reasons. First, these people do have a correct estimate of themselves. Second, they overestimate the difficulties.

It is possible to build up faith in oneself by having the right attitude towards one’s abilities. We should never underestimate one’s abilities. But believe in the proverb: “Where there is a will, there is a way.” Confidence is the promise for fulfilling a task successfully.

hello, everyone.i am very glad to have this chance to join this speech contest.i am li mengtian.i am from wan fang middle school . today the topic of my speech is “healthy lifestyle”.

health is very important in our life.if you want to have a happy life,you must have a healthy lifestyle.do you know how we keep in good health?let me tell you.

everyone knows a good eating habit is very important for us .but not many people have time to think about what to eat .in many western countries.fast food is very popular.because people dont have time to eat,and they also think fast food is very delicious.in america,an american can eat about three hamburgers and four bags of french chips every day.that is 2520 calories.but we know a person need about only 20xx calories for a day.so you see , many americans are very fat. we should have a good eating habit at once.what should we do?

people always say,an apple e day,keeps the doctor away.drinking milk is also good for us.and we need a balance of yinand yang.its a traditional chinese way to keep healthy.we shouldnt eat too much unhealthy food like junk food.now , i will tell you what food are best for our health . eggs have too much protein , you know protein is good for kids.and tomatoes have too many vitamins , its good for everybody.oh , soybean , carrots , seafood , green tea ,pawpaw , oranges , strawberries and so on are also healthy food . please eat more these kinds of food!

we know that exercise is also very important . exercising can make children more alert . there are many ways to exercise . you can run , swim , skate or play ball games like basketball , volleyball , football and golf . but maybe you dont know walking is also good for our body , and maybe its better than other sports . you should exercise in the morning , because you can enjoy fresh air then . some people like exercising at fitness centers , there are a lot of equipments . you should exercise for 20 minutes every day . dont exercise too much . its bad for us!

and a good sleeping habit is good for us , too .before we go to bed,we should drink some milk, it can help us sleep well.but i know some people always cant sleep well.i think they shouldnt, take a sleeping pill . after evening meal , they should go for walk or have conversations with their family or listen some light music . maybe these activities can make them than sleep well.

happiness lies first of all in health .now , you must know many things about healthy lifestyle . if you want to have happy life , you should have a good eating habit , exercise every day and sleep well . so i wish everyones life is getting hathier and heathier ,happier and happier , more and more wonderful!

我要告诉你们我总是不断地对自己说：“我相信我能飞！”.现在我正在站在讲台上，我相信我能赢！

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

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

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

我相信我能飞！也许您认为我有些发狂。其实 我相信我能飞 是一首歌的名字。这是一首我喜爱的歌。我为何喜爱这首歌其原因是它能给我带来勇气去实现我的梦想。正如歌词中所说的 我相信我能飞！我相信我能触摸天空 ,我现在仍然在梦想着我能像哈利 波特一样是一名魔法师，用我的力量去解救世界，去阻止世界贸易大楼中心倒塌，去阻止伊拉克战争 然而，我也知道成为一名魔法师是不可能的，但使我们的世界更美好完全的可能的。

除了梦想成为一名魔法师外，我还想成为一名考古学家，埃及考古学家。我要到埃及去，去那里发现古代文明的美好东西。我日夜都在想着，我梦想我站在金字塔旁，工作于沙漠中的木乃伊和石棺。也许这些梦现在还离我非常之遥远，但我相信有一天我的'梦一定会实现。

谢谢！

saying goodbye to childhood,we step into another important time in the pace of young,facing new situations,dealing with different problems.....

everyone has his ownunderstanding of young,it is a period of time of beauty and wonders,only after you have

experienced the sour ,sweet ,bitter and salty can you really become a person of significance.thre time of young is limitted,it may paby without your attention,and when you discover what has happened ,it is always too late.grasping the young well means a better time is waiting for you in the near future,or the situation may be opposite .

having a view on these great men in the history of hunmanbeing,they all made full use of their youth time ,to do things that are useful to society,to the whole mankind,and as a cosquence ,they are remembered by later

generations,admired by everyone.so do something in the time of young,although you may not get achievements as these greatmen did ,though not for the whole word,just for youeself,for those around!

the young is just like blooming flowers,they are so beautiful when blooming,they make people feel happy,but with time passing by,after they withers ,moet people think they are ugly.and so it is the same with young,we are enthusiastic when we are young,then we may lose our passion when getting older and older.so we must treasure it ,don't let the limitted time paby ,leaving nothing of significance.

ladies and gentlemen , good afternoon! i’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. i hope you will like it , and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.

first i want to ask you some questions:

1、 do you know what is youth?

2、 how do you master your youth?

youth

youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshne; it is the freshneof the deep springs of life .

youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . nobody grows old merely by a number of years . we grow old by deserting our ideals.

years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .

whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living . in the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wirelestation : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .

when the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.

thank you!

One night a hotel caught fire，and the people who were staying in it ran out in their night clothes.

Two men stood outside and looked at the fire.

“Before I came out，” said one，“I ran into some of the rooms and found a lot of money. People don't think of money when they're afraid. When anyone leaves paper money in a fire，the fire burns it. So I took all the bills that I could one will be poorer because I took them.”

“You don't know my work，” said the other.

“What is your work?”

“I'm a policeman.

“Oh!” cried the first man. He thought quickly and said，“And do you know my work?”“No，”said the policeman.

“I'm a writer. I'm always telling stories about things that never happened.”
