All the celebrations welcoming the new century were hold in the year20__,because life without a greeting is like the sky without the sun.Greetingsare very important for the whole world,in my opinion.
But I don't know whether greetings are enough for us.Especially when wemeet with failures .I remember quite clearly that when I was a child,if I falldown and was on the brink of crying,my father always told me"Please stand upfrom where you fall down!"
Yes,we must stand up from where we fall down.
That was a special mid night in 1993.Expectations filled our hearts.
We stared at the TV,hoping excitedly as the voice would fly to ourears.
But at last,each Chinese who loves our motherland was distressed to knowthe ,lost to Sydeny by a margin of two votes in the Olympic hostingcompetition.
Eight years have past,but the frustration has not healed with time atall.
Now,at the begining of the new millennium,all of the pride anddisappointment of the 20th century had gone with the wind. The 21stcentury,which is full of hope,longing znd thought has come. Someone said,wewould start from zero on.
Should I really start from zero on?
No!I hold that we should go on with our efferts and ambitions stayed bylast century,and make our life better.
"New Beijing,Great Olympics!" The voice cries this out around China'scaptital,a 3,000 -year-old city these days.
Beijing,along with Paris,Istanbul,Osake and Toronto,has been shortlisted bythe International Olympic Committee as an official candidate city for the 20__Olympic Games.
This is Beijing's second attempt to host the games.
Everyone fully supports Beijing's bid for it.
Maybe,we can paint fences along the main roads of Beijing.
Maybe,we can make much of yhe city cleaned up.
Maybe,we can learn and speak basic English idioms and expressions for dailycommunication.
But,but are they just enough?
Facing the new century,mankind is driven by the revolution of science andtechnoiogy,world economy is undergoing broud and profound changes. But nobodycan deny the fact that compared with developed nations,developing countries areconfronted with more pressure and challenges.In order to become famous in theworld,we must speed up our international economic restructuring to catch up withindustrialized nations.
Supporting Beijing's bid is a systematic project that can supportChina'sdevelopment efforts.
I believe recycled paper,clean fuel,sorted rubbish,water-saving andenery-efficient facilities will become reality in the coming years forChina.
I believe the new century is an era of learning ans teaching,and lifelongeducation has become one of the main trends in the future developmet of Chinesesociety.
I believe that,on July 13,our dream of Beijing's Olympic bid will becometrue.
Because to millions of Chinese,for China to have the gloal respect andsupport that she deserves is not just a dream.
青春，是人生的花朵;
青春，是人生的春天;
青春，是不耐久藏的珍宝;
青春，是创造一切的希望。
青春是珍贵的，
它是人生最美的花朵，
是不耐久藏的珍宝，
是转瞬即逝的春光;
青春是饱满的，
她代表着时代的精神，
展示着时代的性格，
孕育着时代的希望。
清晨的阳光，
饱含着月光的温柔，
檐角晶莹的冰棱，
滴落点点泪珠，
在它轻柔的抚摸下，
阳光慢慢融化，
悄悄地描绘起柔风
那消瘦的面庞。
试问那个飘雪的夜晚，
你们正在何处?
正品尝着夏威夷的水果甜酒;
还是正与沙滩女郎在海潮中共舞?
此时已近喧嚣，
阳光中快要苏醒的城市，
又要开始重复昨日的繁景，
新的一天开始时，
冰棱终已消融在
春雨的阳光中……
