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!

Dressing in masks and costumes is a popular Halloween activity. Costumescan be traditional and scary,such as a witch's pointy hat and blackgown.Costumes may also have a modern flavor. Many children dress up as moviecharacters or a favorite superhero.liuxue.86

But Halloween is not just for children. Many adults enjoy showing off theircostumes at Halloween parties!

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！

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?

Ladies and Gentlemen：

As the saying goes: "a man without ambition." A person without lofty ideal, it is impossible to make a difference.

From ancient times pangu separated heaven and earth to today's knowledge explosion, information revolution, and how many years, how many generations, how many healthyenterprise has a lofty ideal. Ideality is the power of we forge ahead, bold innovation, the ideal is the light of life, the ideal is the source of strength to overcome all difficulties...

A very early age I had the first ideal is to be a policewoman. The ideal of childhood now think of is ridiculous and childish, but it is the self is like their beautiful uniforms and the brave when arresting suspects.

Since fourth grade until now, I have a second ideal is to be a host, stand in my ideal stage to Dong Qing, like his famous, so I started a small stage, first in class nine, almost class meetings can see me, standing on the platform host class meeting. I would often watch on the name of the host or the host renda, learn their host program statements, expression and action. Through unremitting efforts, I learned a lot, let me show hosted by better. I really like the host program, can let the audience happy, also can let oneself happy. Now I'm in step by step to realize my ideal.

Ideal is an abyss, from the moment of jump, will force you to fight. Or, mirs, whirlwind; Or, stone sink deep bottom, no noise... And I will choose the former, I will work hard, to own ideal step by step forward! Zhou ji daqo

My future is not just a dream, the future is in my hands. I want to, I should take action, the own ideal hard work. I always not forget striving to realize his ideal

Honorable judges, ladies and gentleman, good morning.

I want you to tell me something. What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you hear the word faith, a sacred and heart-warming word that’s supposed to remind you of all the beauties and goodness of life, the key that used to keep us going when confronted with all sorts of hardships and obstacles. However, when I hear the word faith, the thing it reminds me of is so remote and intangible. In this rich and peaceful era, there aren’t as many disasters or wars, especially for us young people whose lives are much easier and wealthier than our fathers’. So is faith gradually losing its significance in the human world nowadays?

Like many of others, I used to think of faith as of no importance at all, and I deemed myself as a faithless person. I thought I can live my life perfectly fine without intentionally grasping something as my faith. Until one day I met an American Christian named John, who later became a very good friend of mine. John is an extremely faithful Christian, and he thinks of Jesus Christ as his lord. He, as a pastor, tried to convert me into a Christian when we first met. So he lectured me with his extensive knowledge of history and philosophy every time we hung out. In spite of his amazingly detailed description of the history of Jesus, what really got me intrigued is not the story he told, instead, is John himself as probably the first and most faithful person I’ve met in my entire life. I can feel the sparks in his eyes when he talks about biblical things, and I am so touched by the integrity of him when he says:” Jesus Christ is the ultimate pursuit of my life” without any hesitation or doubt.

The more we got along, the more I became jealous of him, because he always seems to be joyful and optimistic. When I ask him how he manages it, he said:” I’ve had bad days too, but I also know that God is with me. So I know that it’ll all be okay.” Suddenly it occurred to me how lucky it is to have something you can completely put your trust into, something that will bring you strength when your mind is weak, something that reminds you “ it’s not so bad” when you’re filled with sorrow, something that gives your existence significance and bring it up to a higher level. So I was literally converted, not into a Christian, not into someone faithful either, but into someone who wants to be as faithful at least.

That was the first time I am exposed to the power of faith. To put it simple, your life is complete only if you have faith. You must find something important and significant in your life, your purpose, your pursuit, whatever you call it. I’m not saying faith must relate to religion or God. It could be anything. It could be your career goal, your children, your lover, fellowship, or a certain kind of life style, anything, as long as you dare to trust your life in it with your heart of hearts.

Now I’m still faithless. I haven’t become a Christian or find what matters to me most yet. But what John gave me is whole new perspective to see life. So I’ll strive to really feel and touch the beauty in life and won’t take it for granted. And that’s also what I encourage all of us to do. Keep looking for the faith of your own, and when you do, you’ll know it’s all worth it.

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.

smoking and health

today smoking is a widespread habit ali over the world. not only the old,the youth, but also middle school students have been engaged in smoking. many ofthem think that smoking is a smart symbol.

however, smoking is harmful to one’s ,health. it contributes a lot of lungcancer, from which many people have died in the past years. it can also causemany other diseases. in a word, if you smoke, you do have a much greater chanceof losing your health. furthermore, scientific research shows that smoking isnot only harmful to smokers themselves, but also a threat to public health,especially to women and children. therefore, many countries have made lawsforbidding smokers to smoke m public places such as cinemas, stations,hospitals, and so on giveup smoking! if you don’t smoke, don’t start. giveupsmoking for the sake of your health, for the sake of your family, and for thesake of the whole world.

吸烟与健康

现在，吸烟是一个世界范围的习惯，不仅老年人、青年人吸烟，就连中学生也加入到这个行列中来，他们中的许多人认为吸烟是一种潇洒的`象征。

然而，吸烟对人的健康是有害的，它会引起肺癌，在刚刚过去的几年中;许多人因此而丧命，还可能引发其他的疾病。总之，如果你吸烟的话，你就很可能失去拥有健康的机会，更进一步说，科学研究显示，吸烟不仅危害吸烟者本人，而且对公共健康来说，也是一个凶兆，尤其是对妇女和孩子。因此，许多国家都制定了不准在公共场合吸烟的法规，例如：电影院，车站，医院等地。

戒烟吧，如果你还未染上，请不要开始;戒烟吧，为了你的健康，为了你的家庭的健康，为了整个世界的健康。

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.”

On the other hand, my other son, Hunter, who heads the World Food Program USA, graduated from Yale Law School.Now, he thought it’s a great idea. But then again, law graduates always think all of their ideas are great ideas.

By the way, I’ve had a lot of law graduates from Yale work for me. That's not too far from the truth. But anyway, look, the truth of the matter is that I have a lot of staff that are Yale graduates, several are with me today. They thought it was a great idea that I speak here.

As a matter of fact, my former national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, who is teaching here at Yale Law School, trained in international relations at Yale College, edited the Yale Daily News, and graduated from Harvard -- excuse me, Freudian slip -- Yale Law School. You’re lucky to have him. He’s a brilliant and decent and honorable man. And I miss him. And we miss him as my national security advisor.

But he’s not the only one. My deputy national security advisor, Jeff Prescott, started and ran the China Law Center at Yale Law School. My Middle East policy advisor and foreign policy speechwriter, Dan Benaim, who is with me, took Daily Themes -— got a B. Now you know why I go off script so much.

Hi, everyone! My name is __X. Today my topic is: “I Love English”.

English is now used everywhere in the world, It has become the mostimportant language on internet. Learning English makse me confident and bringsme great pleasure.

When I was eight , my father sent me to an English school. At there, Iplayed games and sang English song with other children. Then I discovered thebeauty of the language, and began my colorful dream in the English world.

Every day, I read English following the tapes. Sometimes, I like watchingEnglish movies for children, such as Finding Nemo, Harry Potter and so on. Thesemovies not only improved my English, but also gave me a lot of fun. OutlookEnglish also help me a lot in my English Studies, I have been watching thisprogram for nearly two years.

I hope I can travel around the world someday. I want to go to America,because America is one of the most developed countries in the world. I also wantto go to England, because English originated in England.

I love English, English has become part of my life. Do you like English, myfriends? If you do, come with me. Let’s enjoy the fun of learning English builtin a day.”

That’s all, thank you!

what is nature? its everything that exists in the world independently of people, such as pants and animals, earth and rocks, and the weather.

now more and more people are focusing on the nature. it is no doubt that the nature is important to every human being. no nature, no life. because of the supplies of the nature, we have lived happily for a long time. and we started to gain every thing available from the nature. and this lasted so long a time. today, people have discovered that the nature around is getting worse and worse.

what is threatening the nature? air and water pollution, overharvesting of plant and animal species, overpopulation and so on. overpopulation is the biggest source of pollution. lets take overpopulation as an example.

what does overpopulation feel like? when we move slowly through the city in a tazi. when we enter a crowded slum district. when the temperature is high and when the air is thick with dust and smoke. the streets are crowded with people. the streets seem alive with people. people eating. people washing. people talking. people sleeping. people visiting each other, arguing and screaming. people relieving themselves. people pushing their hands through the taxi windows, begging. people leading animals. people, people, people, people. as we drive slowly through the crowd, sounding the taxis horn, the dust, heat, noise and cooking fires made it like a scene from hell! i admit, frightening.to the nature, overpopulation is a big problem. more people, more pollution. and the big population is threatening the nature every second.

the rapid rise in world population is not creating problems only for the developing countries. the whole world faces the problem that raw materials are being used up at an increasing rate and food production can not keep up with the population increase. people in rich countries make the heaviest demands on the worlds resources, its food, fuel and land, and cause the most pollution. a baby born in the united states will use in his lifetime 30 times more of the worlds resources than a baby born in india. unless all the countries of the world take united action to deal with the population explosion there will be more and more people fighting for a share of less and less land, food and fuel, and the future will bring poverty, misery and war to us all.

for most of the developing countries, it is a good idea to control the population growth. for example, china has carried out birth control for years. and this plan has a GREat effect on the world population.

if the population continues to increase, if the air and water continue to be polluted, if we dont do something to protect wild-plant and wildlife species will be declining. species and biological communities have difficulty adapting to change. economic opportunities and the quality of life of future generations are also put at risk. by protecting nature, we protect ourselves.

lets unite together, hand in hand we stand all across the land.

we can make this world in which to live. hand in hand. control the population growth. take good care of our nature.
