初中英语演讲稿范文(精选22篇)
I get up early at six every day. After doing some morning exercises, I read English for twenty minutes. At seven I have breakfast.
After breakfast I take my schoolbag and go to school. Our class begins at eight, and we have four classes in the morning.
After lunch at 12 o’clock, I take a short rest in the classroom. We have three more classes in the afternoon.
After school at five , I go back home. I often help my mother do some housework. Sometimes I watch TV.
After dinner, I begin to do my homework.
Then I take a shower. I go to bed at nine thirty.
Doing exercise
Having fun
When having to make a choice most people think they have to choose between the two. Far too often people go for the latter and naturally choose fun. For instance many people would prefer watching television, or more commonly known as TV to exercising, we all know that it’s true, right? The problem is, if you don’t exercise you will become weak and ultimately out of shape and it is no fun to be out of shape, right? So the question is, why not turn exercise into fun?
As an example, if TV is your favorite thing to do, why not connect your TV set to an electric generator that is charged by a stationary bike, you know, the kind of bike you peddle, that doesn’t go anywhere. So think about it, the more you watch TV, the fitter you’ll be.
Now if you are the kind of person who thinks listening to music is fun and you spend many hours alone tap tap tapping your fingers and your toes to the beat, why not take it one step further and get up on your feet and dance, dance, dance.
Or maybe you’re the type of person who prefers being with your friends. There are many ways one could have fun with their pals. For instance you could just hang out and do nothing or better yet you could get into a friendly game of basketball or football there is no rule that says everyone has to be as good as Yao Ming or David Beckham, right?
However sometimes there just aren’t enough players, or you may even be alone in which case you could go for a ride on your bike, maybe, stop by the library to borrow a book, or go for a walk around the park and enjoy the sunshine and scenery. Before you know it, you’re having fun.
Let’s face it, exercise is work and when we think of work we think of thankless underpaid hardships yet it needn’t be this way, if we think of exercise as fun.
Dear:
Deep Mother LoveEvery child is surrounded by the deep mother love.
However, we often turn a blind eye to the love. One day I deeply felt the day I hurried home for lunch after school, because there would be an exam in the afternoon and I had expected to go back to school early to prepare for the exam. But when I got Home, the lunch was not read from yet.
I felt unhappy. When the dishes were served, I forund none I like. I ran out of my house angrily and wanderde on the street for a while,hungry. Then I walked to I got into the classroom, I saw a lunch box on my desk. One classmate told me that it was my mother ther that had brought it r opening the box, I found my favorite food inside. My eyes was moist with tears.
Mother gave me her love without asking for return, How deep mother love is!

巴蜀中学最有名的是管理和上的特色,请听我简单介绍。
一、学校特色:
从学校层面上讲,我校建校不久,能做出理想的成绩在于管理,我校实行封闭式管理,不管是周末回家出校,外出买东西出校,还是平常出校,一律凭专用假条出校,走读生凭走读证出校。不管是平时午休还是周末,每个年级安排有值班教师清点学生,要保证该在学校的一个不差,该在家的一个不少。食堂、小卖部、小吃等地方也有教师值班,以保障学生就餐安全。
老师们在教学中严格按照集体备课的要求,五统一,即统一资料,统一进度,统一课件,统一作业,统一思路,实现所有的资源共享,以达到年级的最佳组合。我校的考试很有特色,有周考,月考,半期考,期末考等多种形式,完全是以考代练,学生已经养成了自觉考试,独立考试的习惯,因此无人监考的'情况下学生的成绩也基本真实。
二、班级简介:
全班共66人,男生36人、女生30人。主要来自奉节各地,也有巫山、巫溪、云阳等临县的,每个孩子都来自不同的家庭,学生的性格、秉性各异,但由于学校铁的管理和年级、班级的严格要求,大部分学生都已养成了较好的生活、学习习惯,在短短半学期的时间里已经形成团结友爱,互帮互助,一个和谐稳定的班集体。【初一家长会英语教师发言稿】初一家长会英语教师发言稿。从开学后,我班陆续取得新的成绩,捷报频传,庆"十一"黑板报喜获一等奖拉开序幕,之后陈宏瑾竞选上年级节目主持人,王鹏翔、朱柯羽选入学生会,朱柯羽又在竞选中出类拔萃,成为学生会主持人,广播体操比赛团体三等奖,特别是精神文明奖的获得更是得到了学校和年级的好评。
三、班级管理:
我的育人目标:先成人后成才。
首先我认为:学生是一个人,应该让其成人,所以我特别强调"做人有德",就是要培养学生高尚的品格,懂文明,讲礼貌,尊老爱幼,做一个有良好道德品质的社会公民,做一个有理想有抱负的孝心孩子,做一个有良好学习习惯的学生,总之,培养他将来必须是一个对社会有用的人。
其次,我强调"做事有法",那就是重视方法指导,教学生学会思考,做一个思想的智者,一个会思考的聪明人,引导学生眼中有事。在生活中,学习上,处处锻炼他们分析问题,思考问题,解决问题的能力,培养他们的综合素质。
在学生身心健康成长的前提下,再以"智育"为中心,狠抓纪律与学习,对学生进行升学成才教育。我要求学生每天提前预习,认真听讲,记好课堂笔记,课后及时复习,独立完成老师布置的作业,要求每天都有新的收获,每天都有进步。我根据学生的小学基础、智力等实际能力为他们制定了合适的学习目标,让其通过努力达到目标,去体会成功的喜悦。
good morning,dear teacher and my friends.
it’s a very intresting topic today.
i think my dad was a hero for me when i was a young child. we'd go fishing, walks, and other fun things for a kid.
every child has a good and great father, and so do i. my dad played a very important role in my daily life`````exactly speaking, in my past 16 years.
my father always stands in the center of my life, from past till now and possibly in the future.
my family was rather poor when i was in my childhood. we didn't have our own house and had to live in a shabby, small room rented from my father's factory. the room was so small that there was little space for people to walk. i didn't have my own bed and had to sleep with my parents. this is terrible both for my parents and me.
but father made this all different!he works very hard on his own business, now we have our own 2 housese,surly,i have my own room.and he take our family so much happiness, richer and richer.
every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. my friends will listen to me when i want to speak, will wipe my eyes when i cry, will take care of me when i am sick, and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.
friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives. it is actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the sweeter it will be. it is also like a cup of tea. when we are thirsty, it will be our best choice, but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves, it is also the most fragrant drink.
as we know, we would feel lonely if we didnt even have a friend. but it doesnt mean we could depend on our friends all the time. there is a famous motto saying that "a friend is like a quilt with cotton wadding, but the real thing that keeps you warm is your own temperature.” it is really true. we have to work hard together with our friends, encourage
each other and help each other. when we receive love and friendship, we should repay as much as we can.
finally, lets pray together now that one day, all of us could find the person we want to find, and could enjoy a real beautiful friendship in our lives. lets pray the flower of friendship be-tween our friends and us would always bloom brightly in our hearts

Dear:
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, I’m very glad to make a speech here. Today my topic is “I love you, China.”
Since the day I was born, I began to have a proud name—Chinese. Since the day I began to talk, the most beautiful sentence I’ve ever learnt has been “I love you, China!”
I love you, China, and I’m so proud of being a Chinese. I’m proud that I’ve got the beautiful yellow skin, black eyes and black hair. I’m also proud that I speak the most beautiful language in the world—Chinese.
I love you, China, for I can feel the deep love you give me every day, every minute. Last year, I got an opportunity to visit the United States of America. During my staying there, my father’s boss once invited my family to dinner. While at , he looked at me and asked: “Little boy, how long have you been in America?” “About a month,” I answered, “How lucky you are!” he said, “If you were living in China, how could you learn such perfect English?” I smiled and told him proudly that all the students in China are able to learn English at school. I saw his surprised eyes and said to myself, “I’m proud of you, China ”
Almost everyone knows the famous Chinese saying:A young idler,an old beggar. Throughout history,we have seen many cases in which this saying has again and again proved to be true.
It goes without saying that the youth is the best time of life,during which one's mental and physical states are at their peaks. It takes relatively less time and pains to learn or accept new things in a world full of changes and rapid developments. In addition,one is less likely to be under great pressure from career,family and health problems when young. Therefore,a fresh mind plus enormous energy will ensure success in different aspects of life.
Of course,we all know:no pains,no gains. If we don't make every effort to make good use of the advantages youth brings us,it is impossible to achieve any goals. As students,we should now try our best to learn all the subjects well so that we can be well prepared for the challenges that we will face in the future.
少壮不努力,老大徒伤悲
几乎所有人都知道中国有一句老话:少壮不努力,老大徒伤悲.通过阅读历史,我们从一个又一个的'案例当中得知,这句话被证实是真确的
不用说都知道,在青年时期,人的智力和身体状况都是一生中最好的,这也是一个人一生中最好的时期.在这个处处都不停地转变,飞快地发展的世界里,年轻使人相对地用更少的时间去学习和领悟新知.在这时,很少人会困在从事业上来的压力下,家庭和健康问题也比较小(就是说不是没有--译者).所以,一个清醒的脑袋加上巨大的能量就会成就人生中不同方面的成功.
当然,我们都知道:没有挫折就没有获得.如果我们没有好好努力去利用年轻带给我们的优胜之处,那就没有可能获得任何的成功.作为中学生,我们应该做到最好去学好每一个科目,这样的话,我们就可以为将来即将面对的挑战做好准备.
Social Protection of the Safe Environment
On a Saturday morning. I went to have breakfast. I felt there was a terrible smell and went over to have a look carefully. I found that there was a big pile of banana skins giving out the smell.Just then a young fellow holding a dustpan rubbish to walk towards here . He raised his hands, The big pile of rubbish was here. At once I went to him and said “Uncle , you can’t do like this . These things will rot very soon. It’s bad for our health and make the people fall ill.” However ,the man said “Everyone does so ,who falls ill,who will see the doctor.”
Looking at this , I remembered another act : There is a stream through our village. Over it there are two bridges .At the age of seven years old , I enjoyed the beautiful scenery under the bridge very much. It was the best place to swim in summer. But now the rubbish was getting more and more .Dish leaves,fruit skins,dead ducks and chickens….after rotting ,not only the mosquitos flew around but also the bad smell made everyone feel quite terrible.Though the stream was cleaned up several times, it’s still happening now. A lot of plastic bags always float on it .In summmer we have to go far away from the village to swim.
What causes this? Who is the devil?It’s the human ourselves. I have got to known from a book .The rubbish in the countryside mostly occupies the fields and damages the earth’s surface .It pollutes soil,wave ,atmosphere and damages our health. The adults often say “The body is capital.” But why are they able to make woollen cloth like this ? Does it affect everybody’s safe and sound life ?
Dear:
Today a boy named is standing here and talking about the near future of the earth.Most people believe that we are living on a beautiful and vital palent.
Because we can find everything we need from everywhere on th earth.But some of us who study the earth are very surprised that th earth is going to die much sooner than before.It means th earth will be like the Mars in a few years.And then most animals will be exterminated ,and the organism called human may not be seen on the earth any more.Is that a lie or a joke?
No,its serious and true .A river can be polluted by only a little trash and so little trash can be made by hundreds of families a year. But no country even America can clean the rivers as soon as we pollute them.Im afriad we do something wrong over and over again. So we have less and less time to redress the balance of Nature.Luckily, its not too late now. People have many things to do to stop the disaster. For example having a low-carbon lifestyle is one of the best ideas.
More and more young people like to live a low-carbon life. So you see ,life with low-carbon can be fashionable.In fact when we protect the earth , we are protecting ourselves.Thanks for listening to me.
Changing Ourselves
Honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen, good morning!
Today, my topic is “Changing Ourselves”.
At first, I'd like to tell you a little story about an insurance salean in Tokyo. Even though this man tried very hard to promote the insurance, nobody bought it. One day, he came to a all temple and began to brag about his insurance. After listening to his introduction, the monk said: “Your recommendation of insurance can't arouse any of my interests! When you are communicating with others, you must have the charm to attract others, or you will be unpromising in the future. Young man, try to change yourself!”
The salean thought deeply about each word. From then on, he invited all his friends to point out his weakness and kept on improving himself bit by bit for all his life. Thirty years later, he became a millionaire. And this man is the famous salesperson in the world: Yuan Yi Ping. His experience reflects one attitude: sometimes, we should change ourselves instead of changing the world.
Human beings always scan others, therefore, lots of people just see the flaws of them, then they will blame and criticize the outside factors, some people will even try to change them! Unfortunately, they ignore the importance of the inner factors.
Everybody in the world needs to examine himself critically, everybody has to learn to be tolerant and generous. You won't think the world is splendid unless you change your attitude first.
Dear friends, we'd better remodel ourselves rather than blame each other. If we do so, we'll find that yesterday's sorrow is today's gratification, yesterday's opponent is today's assistant, and yesterday's failure is today's success! Remember: if we can change ourselves, we can change the whole world!
Thank you!
尊敬的评委、女士们、先生们:早上好!
今天,我演讲的题目是:“改变我们自己”.
首先,我很高兴与你们一同分享一个关于东京的一位保险公司推销员的小故事。尽管他十分努力地向别人推销保险,没有人能够接受,也没人买他的保险。有一天,他来到了一个小寺庙,开始夸起他的保险来。老和尚仔细地听完了他的'介绍后,说:“你的介绍丝毫引不起我投保的意愿。人与人之间,像这样相对而坐的时候,一定有具备一种强烈吸引对方的魅力,如果你做不到这一点,将来就没什么前途可言了……小伙子,先努力改造自己吧!”
从寺庙里出来,年轻人一路思索着老和尚的话,若有所悟。接下来,他请了所有的朋友来指出他的缺点与薄弱处,从而改变自己。他整个一生都坚持着一点一点地提高自身。三十年之后,他成了世界著名的百万富翁。而这位推销员正是世界上最伟大的推销大师:原一平。他的例子印证了这句话,那就是:有些时候,迫切应该改变的,或许不是环境,而是我们自己。
人的眼睛长得朝向外部,总在观察、审视着别人。因此不少人总是先看到别人的缺点、短处,看到世事的不平。于是动辄指责、批评、埋怨别人和外部世界。甚至有人用了很多心思企图去改变它们,结果反倒忽视了改变自身的重要性。每个人都应该仔细地检查一下自己,每个人都应该学着去容忍、宽容别人。除非我们都从改变自己的态度做起,否则世界将永远不会变得美丽。
亲爱的朋友们,我们最好改变自己,而不是埋怨别人。如果我们这么做了,我们会发现:昨天的惆怅会转化为喜悦,昨天的对手今天可能变为助手,昨天的失败会转化为胜利。永远记住:如果我们都改变了自己,那么我们就能改变整个世界!
my name is, today my topic is protect our earth.
my mom always told me protect yourself , then you can help others,
today i want to say protect yourself then you can protect the earth, cause if everyone can protect the earth, it will be better in the future. and we can do from ourselves, from the small things, when we see a trash we can pick up them to the dustbin, when we see a plastic we can never use it again, and told other person don't use it,
so totally speaking, if you willing do, you are the great person help world person,
thank all of the teachers and my classmates give me the chance, thank you all.
catch the star that holds your destiny, the one that forever twinkles within your heart.
take advantage of precious opportunities while they still s sparkle beforeyou. always believe that your ultimate goal is attainable as long as you commityourself to it. though barriers may sometimes stand in the way of your dreams,rem ember that your destiny is hiding behind them.
accept the fact that not ev eryone is going to approve of the choicesyou've made. have faith in your judgment. catch the star that twinkles in yourheart and it will lead you t o your destiny's path.
follow that pathway and uncover the sweet sunrises that await you. takepride in your accomplishments, as they are stepping stones to yo ur dreams.understand that you may make mistakes, but don't let them di scourage you.
value your capabilities and talents for they are what make you trulyunique. the greatest gifts in life are not purchased, but acquired through hardwork and determination.
find the star that twinkles in your heart?for you alone are capable ofmaking your brightest dreams come true. give your hopes everything you've gotand you will catch the star that holds your destiny.To conquer our fears, we must go past them.
若想克服恐惧,我们就必须要敢于正视它们。
To fear is natural; to go past them is heroic. Fear is a normal part oflife, symbolizing that there are new, extraordinary things to come across andface. To be able to see these things before they happen is a sign of wisdom.Fear is nothing out of the ordinary. To admit that we are fearing is to provethat we value our life.
恐惧是一件很自然的事,但克服恐惧却是一种英勇的行为。恐惧是日常生活中不可或缺的一部分,它意味着我们要去面对和处理层出不穷的、意想不到的事情。能够预知将要发生的事情是一种智慧。恐惧并不是什么稀奇事儿,而且承认恐惧是证明我们珍视生命的有力证据。
And men should pay attention to the call of fears. To truly be a leader orsomeone who is heroic and brave, we should focus on getting past these fears.And it is frightful for people to go through life ignoring fears, because theymay often forget their heart and step into life without responsibility.
人人都应该对恐惧的到来有先见之明。要想成为真正的佼佼者或者英勇之人,我们就必须集中精力去正视恐惧。那些在生活中忽视恐惧的人是非常可怕的,因为他们不仅常常违背自己的心意,而且在缺少责任心中苟且偷生。
To be born is to live. To live is to fear. To fear is to be challenged. Toaccept our fears is to be mature. It needs bravery, maturity and vitality toface our fears, accept the challenges and hope for the best.
生者为生,生来为惧,惧为应站,迎惧者谙事理。要想正视恐惧、接受挑战、憧憬美好未来,那就要具备大无畏的勇气、成熟的心智与顽强的生命力。
Dear:
People always say that father’s love is so quiet but grand that it seems like amountain. They always bury their love to children deep in the bottom of their heartsand never show it. Father seldom says I love you to their children or doessomething show it. Mother often tells us to eat more and put on more clothes,but father doesn’t.
Father seldom asksyour life in school or your relationship with your friends. When you are introuble and ask suggestions from him, he would not tell you what you should dobut help you to find solutions instead. However, father still plays the mostimportant role in your life. He is always the supporter of your life. Wheneveryou need, he is always by your side. This is the way he shows his love.
I came to a small island. There is a castle in front of me, a beautiful gate. I pushed the door open, staring eyes, I am all kinds of candy like a hill! A bar of chocolate, fruit sugar, cotton candy...I could hardly close my mouth. Just want to take them all away, suddenly, I came to another castle.
The castle is purple,taller.I flew up slowly,fell on the roof.Hey,here are full of all toys! There are Teddybears,jigsaw puzzle,and so on! I am very surprised,catch the nearest Teddy bear,I came to a courtyard.
This courtyard is full of comic books, novels, it has everything that one can expect to find ! I opened a book, but found it absolutely empty, and all the books were empty with out words.
A man appeared in front of me. He was dressed in a black robe, said to me, "learning to use, to read to learn useful book." I woke up at once, it was only a dream.
I think learning should be active, hard, don’t give up don’t understand the problem,to say, "yes, I can!" As the dream to become the person you want to be, do what you want to do.
Dear:
Dream, with each one of us.
Dream is beautiful, it is the bottom of my heart the most beautiful expectations, so the dream also become our long-held beliefs.
Dream is the sun, it makes people from impetuous to solid, from the hesitation to the firm, and on the road to success.
Dream is powerful, it is the life source of forward momentum; Lofty dreams can inspire a life all potential.
Because of this we will go to dream, to grasp the dream, the pursuit of dreams.
And because of country's dream is the one people's little dream, is not affected by big dream small dreams, but just because one little dream realization and achievement of the establishment of the great dream, why not?
My dream, our dream, to improve the Chinese dream.
To you the day of my dreams to realize, is standing at the time of China.
1. 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!
2.ladies and gentlemen, good morning! i’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech.
man’s life is a proceof growing up, actually i’m standing here is a growth. if a person’s life must constituted by various choices, then i grow up along with these choices. once i hope i can study in a college in future, however that’s passed, as you know i come here, now i wonder what the future holds for me.
when i come to this school, i told to myself: this my near future, all starts here. following i will learn to become a man, a integrated man, who has a fine body, can take on important task, has independent thought, an open mind, intensive thought, has the ability to judge right and wrong, has a perfect job.
once my teacher said :” you are not sewing, you are stylist; never forget which you should lay out to people is your thought, not craft.” i will put my personality with my interest and ability into my study, during these procei will combine learning with doing. if i can achieve this “future”, i think that i really grow up. and i deeply believe kindred, good-fellowship and love will perfection and happy in the future.
how to say future? maybe it’s a nice wish. lets make up our minds, stick to it and surely well enjoy our life.
3 my definition of success
“once upon a time, there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. to all the suitors who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king assigned three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible. one day, into the king's palace came a handsome young prince..." well, you know the rest. the three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, with the prince claiming the princess's hand triumphantly.
and the ending is always the same, finishing with the line "and they live happily every after."
why aren't we tired of something so fanciful, so unrealistic, and, i would say, so unimaginative? how can a story like that endure generations of repetition`? because, i think, it is a typical succestory. it is highly philosophical and symbolic. by implication, we see a 4-step definition of success: 1 ) a goal to be set. as represented by the beautiful princess; 2 ) challenges to be met, as represented by the three tasks; 3 ) the proceof surmounting difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through; and 4 ) the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage.
the story not only caters to everyone's inward yearning for success, but also emphasizes the inseparability of the proceand the result. the reward of succewill be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous, and vice versa. if a person inherits his father's millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence. the term "success", to be sure. will not sit still for easy definition. but as i understand it, the true meaning of succeentails a combination of both the proceand the satisfactory result of an endeavor. to clarify my view, let me give another analogy.
good morning or afternoon, everybody! i am glad to meet you here and at the moment. thanks for sparing your precious time to listen to my speech about how to learn english. i hope you could understand my english teaching approaches and idea, and hope i could bring you and your children delight for learning english and progress in english.

A Lesson from Nature
Ladies and gentlemen: Good morning! Today, the title of my speech is A Lesson from Nature.
Around us , there are plants, animals and many other things. We live in nature, so to keep the balance of nature is very important for us. But today, too many trees are still being cut down in many countries and flood all over the world are getting more and more serious, A lot of land has gone with them. This is a lesson from nature.
When people move into a new place, they often cut down trees or pull out many wild plants to make farmland. They don’t know that trees can stop flood and wind from washing or blowing the earth away, and that many of these wild plants are food for some wild animals. If the animals can’t find enough plants to eat, they will die or have to leave the place.
In one part of the United States, for example, the deer there like to eat a kind of wild flowers. The mountain tigers there eat the deer. But people killed many mountain tigers to protect the deer. soon there were so many deer that the ate up all the wild flowers. Then the deer began to eat the green leaves of the young trees .so the farmers thought of ways to protect their trees, then the deer had nothing to eat and many of them died.
The number of trees, deer, tigers, wild flowers and plants has changed much—less and less. We need to do more to keep the balance of nature.
Thank you

What life is about
“Good morning! Ladies and gentlemen”. Today, the title of my speech is “What life is about”
As we all know, the most important thing in life is our attitude towards it, lots of men have tried different ways of treating life, and some succeeded, some failed, and here are some of the tips they left us. Life isn’t about keeping score. Life isn’t about your shoes or your hair or the color of your skin. In fact it’s not about if you have lots of friends or if you are alone, and it’s not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isn’t about that.
But life is about whom you love and who you hurt. It’s about how you feel about yourself. It’s about trust, happiness and compassion. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance and building confidence. It’s about what you say and what you mean. It’s about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. And we should always remember to be ourselves. Other might have things that we desire but being what we really are is the only trail leading to the true colors of life. Most of all, it’s about choosing to use your life to touch someone else’s in a way that could have never been achieved otherwise.
We’ve learnt how to make a living but not a life, we’ve added years to life, but not life to years. And it is time for us to choose whether to make a difference in our life.
And these choices are what life is about.
Thank you

生活的真谛
众所周知,关于生活最重要的我们对待生活的态度,不同的人以不同的方式对待生活,一些人成功了,一些人失败了。这里有一些关于生活的帖士给我们大家。
生活不是为了保持高分,生活也不仅仅是你的鞋子、你的发型和你的肤色。实际上,生活也不只是你拥有多少朋友,或者你是否孤独;生活也不仅仅意味着你被别人接受与否。生活并不仅仅是这些。
但是,生活是关于你所爱的和你所伤害的那些人。生活就是你对自己的所有感觉。它是关于信任、幸福和包容。它是你对朋友的支持和如何用爱来融化内心的憎恨。生活就是远离嫉妒、克服无知和建立信心。生活是关于你的言行和思想。生活就是关注人的自身,而不是关注别人的拥有。而且我们必须记住保持我们的本色。虽然,生活的另一面令我们向往,但保持我们的本色是通往生活真谛的必由之路。总之,生活就是用你整个的生命去触摸其他人从未企及的选择。
在生活的长河中也常常令我们困惑和矛盾,我们拥有越来越高大的建筑,但我们也越来越缺乏耐心;我们购买的物质越来越多,但我们从中得到的快乐越来越少。我们学习如何活着但那却不是生活;人类的寿命越来越长,但有意义的生活并因此而延长。因此,现在正是我们选择使我们的人生变得不同凡响的时候了。 这些选择就是生活的.真谛

number one: stop the madness for constant group work. just stop it. (laughter) thank you. (applause) and i want to be clear about what i'm saying, because i deeply believe our offices should be encouraging casual, chatty cafe-style types of interactions -- you know, the kind where people come together and serendipitously have an exchange of ideas. that is great. it's great for introverts and it's great for extroverts. but we need much more privacy and much more freedom and much more autonomy at work. school, same thing. we need to be teaching kids to work together, for sure, but we also need to be teaching them how to work on their own. this is especially important for extroverted children too. they need to work on their own because that is where deep thought comes from in part.
okay, number two: go to the wilderness. be like buddha, have your own revelations. i'm not saying that we all have to now go off and build our own cabins in the woods and never talk to each other again, but i am saying that we could all stand to unplug and get inside our own heads a little more often.
number three: take a good look at what's inside your own suitcase and why you put it there. so extroverts, maybe your suitcases are also full of books. or maybe they're full of champagne glasses or skydiving equipment. whatever it is, i hope you take these things out every chance you get and grace us with your energy and your joy. but introverts, you being you, you probably have the impulse to guard very carefully what's inside your own suitcase. and that's okay. but occasionally, just occasionally, i hope you will open up your suitcases for other people to see, because the world needs you and it needs the things you carry.
so i wish you the best of all possible journeys and the courage to speak softly.
thank you very much.

thank you. thank you.
Dear friends! Do you still remember your first English teacher? You may say:“ Yes.” Everyone has his teachers, in my mind, I'll never forget her ------my first English teacher Ms. Li. Without her, I wouldn't be standing here. She is a young and lovely lady with beautiful eyes. Her voice sounds sweet and she speaks English very well. That was the first impression she left on us when she first gave us an English lesson.
In her class, she taught us carefully and patiently. She always made opportunities for us to speak English. She gave us many beautiful pictures to talk on them, played games with us and told us many interesting stories. Little by little, I had interest in English, but English was a new subject to me, I had many difficulties in learning it well. I often felt very confused. It was Ms. Li who helped me to find ways to overcome my difficulties. She helped me to practice speaking English everyday. She always encouraged me whenever I lost heart. She helped me to have confidence in myself. She gave me what I needed, courage, confidence, good ways to learn English and opportunities to speak English in class. So I was grateful for her. Maybe I can't meet her again. The only thing I can give her is my best wishes. I wish my dear teacher happiness, good health and good luck. And I also want to say to her: Thank you, Ms. Li. I love you!
