Once upon a time, there was a sad elephant. He was dirty and stinky, because he could not reach to wash his back. All the other animals didn’t play with him because he was smelly.
Elephant sat under a tree, where nobody could see him. He started to cry. His head was hanging down, crying big tears. He sat and cried for days. One day, when his tears had dried up, he went to itch his head and he felt a bump on his back. Then he noticed his nose had stretched because it had got wet with all the crying and it was now a long trunk which had hit him on his back.
He went to the river and got his trunk, put it in the water and sucked the water up. Then he sprayed his back with water.
All the other animals came over to him and said “you are so clean and smell so lovely. Do you want to play with us?”
The elephant was so happy and said “yes.”
The End.
mother was playing with her lovely daughter about 3 years old on the playground. The little girl was interested in playing the swing but didn’t dare to try. The mother encouraged her by saying, “Come on, baby! I believe you can do it! Believe in yourself!” With her mother’s encouragement, the girl finally climbed onto the swing. “Yeah! I can do it! Mum, help me fly higher!” she cried happily, and her laughter filled the air. I see that self-confidence is a key factor in problem-solving. With self-confidence, I can overcome difficulties. With self-confidence, I can surpass limits. With self-confidence, I can go beyond myself.
Here, ladies and gentle, allow me to share with you my experience. I love English and now, I can stand on this stage to express my ideas in English. But when I first entered into the college, I was such a shy boy that I couldn’t speak Chinese fluently in the crowd, let alone show my English in public. In the second school year, I was assigned to be one of the hosts at an English Competition. I had no experience in hosting at that time so it was really a challenge to me. I didn’t know what to say, and even how to step on the stage? However, I decided to take the assignment since after 2-year of English study, I became more confident in myself. Also, teachers’ remarks encouraged me, “If you are not self-confident, it is impossible to make others believe in you. If you cannot go beyond your limits, it is impossible to make any improvement.” I accomplished the task at last, and the success confirms to myself that I can go beyond my limits. I can surpass myself. Yes, I can.
With self-confidence, one is not sure to win, but without self-confidence, one will lose for sure. Today, Standing here, participating in this competition, for me it is also a challenge. Am I sure to win the first prize? To tell the truth, not really. Then, am I confident to compete with the other participants? Absolutely. I believe in myself. I believe I will try my best to overcome all difficulties. I am well-ready to face the challenge. I am quite self-confident that I can again go beyond myself.
How to Be Popular
Most people would like to be popular with others, but not everyone can achieve this goal. What is the secret to popularity? In fact, it is very simple. The first step is to improve our appearance. We should always make sure that we stay in good shape and dress well. When we are healthy and well-groomed, we will not only look better but also feel better. In addition, we should smile and appear friendly. After all, our facial expression is an important part of our appearance. If we can do this, people will be attracted to our good looks and impressed by our confidence.
Another important step is developing more consideration for others. We should always put others first and place their interests before our own. It's also important to be good listeners; in this way people will feel comfortable enough to confide in us. However, no matter what we do, we must not gossip. Above all, we must remember to be ourselves, not phonies. Only by being sincere and respectful of others can we earn their respect. If we can do all of the above, I am sure popularity will come our way.
sponsibility of building the future of our country?
the cynics say the college students are the pampered lost generation, which would cringe at the slightest discomfort. but the cynics are wrong. the college students i see are eagerly learning about how to live independently. we help each other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take part time jobs to supplement our pocket money.
the cynics say we care for nothing other than grades; and we neglect the need for character cultivation. but again, the cynics are wrong. we care deeply for each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth. last week, thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer.
as college students, we are adolescents at the critical turning point in our lives. we all face a fundamental choice: cynicism or faith, each will profoundly impact our future, or even the future of our country. i believe in all my fellow classmates. though we are still inexperienced and even a little bit childish. i believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challenge and take on our responsibilities. we are preparing to assume new responsibilities and tasks, and to use the education we have received to make our world a better place. i believe in our future.
No invention has received more praise and abuse than Internet .
There is no doubt that we can do the things that for us may be difficult or even impossible in the past with the help of Internet . We can communicate with the friends we have lost touch with for many years by the Internet
I enjoy go on line ,for I can do whatever I like ,such as talking with my friends,chatting with my teacher and also listenning some music.However, what I like most is to read electrical magzine or watch some English films.I can also know the lastest news about the world instently. As I am a student ,I do not have much time surffing the Internet..
But I will go on line in the weekend if I have finished my homework .my parents agree with me.In fact they always support me on everything I like I believe that people equate success in life with the ability of operating computer.It is generally accepted that no college or university can educate its students by the time they graduate,so may be computer skills will enchance our opportunities or promotion..
However ,some believe that it is a terrible invention,because their kids are clinging to the net games and even crime as a result of the bad effect. What is more,some girls are cheated by people through Internet.
Some parents do not allow their kids to surf ,they think that it will have a negative effect on kids. I agree with the old saying "no work and no play make jack a dull boy". So we have to face the internet fairly. Every thing has two sides,we should learn to use it correctly. First ,we should learn the common sense of safety.Before we do every thing,we should think twice.it will help us always.Then,we should try to protect ourselves.I think we had better not chat with some strangers.The most important thing is that we must not leave out our address and some information about us and our familly.
In all,we should know to master it in a right way.This is also the reason why everyone can not be Bill Gates.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Tonight is a special day. I appreciate our dear teacher Miss chen. She is responsible teacher and she usually makes us feel interested in learning English. She always hope that our English have made improvement. No matter how tired she is, she never gives up on us. And she give us enough encouragement. We will remember our great teacher forever.
It gives me great pleasure to be entitled to such a precious opportunity to give a graduation speech on behalf of all the graduates of our college. First, I'd like to give our hearty thanks to you.
Meet college, open my sight, to enrich my thoughts, washing my soul, moistens my life.
Meet college, pick up a falling leaf, feel the passage of time. Mature autumn, tell me: the most precious thing in life is not the most shining, catch the youth, the most successful attitude rewards seasons.
Meet college, we make so many friends in the college. We have a valuable friendship. The more you lean you more you understand.
Today I don't know I must be happy or sad. Because happy for I'm ending the study of the north campus in GDAIB. I'm got so much of English knowledge. But I'm sad too. Because today, we'll break up together, maybe if we're has good luck at all, we'll meet again.
So, we must be get confidence at all, because tomorrow will be a pretty day!
Being graduated from college is not an end, but a beginning. We will always bear in mind the motto of our college --- Respects, diligent, and progressive.
--- which has, and will always inspire us to contribute what we have learnt to the advance of the society and the benefits of human kind.
This is a day never to be forgotten, a day to cherish as one of the highlights and important in our lives and careers.
To end my speech, let us all drink from the cup of best wishes to the further development of our mother college.
Thank you.
good evening, honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen.
it’s my great pleasure to stand here to present my speech—change the world, change ourselves.
it’s noticable that western holidays are becoming increasingly popular day by day, while chinese traditional festivals are being somewhat neglected. not long before about 10 doctors in beijing university and qinghua unversity announced that we should reject the invasion of western holidays ,because they regard western holidays as an challenge against our traditional festivals and culture.
frankly speaking, i don’t quite agree with them.indeed, we should never neglect or even discard our traditonal festivals as china boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions. (examples).but why can’t we absorb the meaningful western holidays and culture. there are obvious reasons why some western holidays are so popular in china. on the one hand, some of the western holidays which we chinese don’t have are reasonable and meaningful, such as father’s day and april fool’s day etc. on the other hand,the prevalence of globalization enables western culture to prevail in china. overwhelmed by such a trend,chinese unconsiciously get involved in western holidays and culture.
with the further development of the whole world, the cultural communication between different countries and nations becomes faster and more and more important. we are indeed from different nations, but we are the citizens of the same world, so the outstanding culture of different nations is the commom wealth of everyone on the earth.the only way for us to protect our traditional culture is to reject the foreign culture? the answer is definitely no. what we ought to do is to spare no effort to educate chinese to get to know and treasure our splendid traditions instead of rejecting foreign culture. only by educating can we set our confidence and belief towards our culture. only by educating can we preserve and promote the wealth that our ancesters left for us.
at last i’d like to share a famouse saying of gandhi with all of you ,that is:if you want to change the world, then you must change yourself first.”
Dear teachers and classmates:
Good morning\afternoon.
I am very glad to make a speech here .At this time, I'd like to talk something about my hobbies.
Everyone has hobbies. My mother likes watching TV. My father likes chess. Many of my schoolmates like playing football. So what are my hobbies? Now let me tell you about my hobbies.
I have many hobbies, such as sports, singing, playing the computer games and reading books, but learningEnglish is my favourite.
Everyday, I read English following the tapes. Sometimes, I watch English cartoons.
On the weekend, I often go to the English corner. By talking with different people there, I have made more and more friends as well as improved my oral English.
I hope I can travel around the world some day. I want to go to America to visit Washington Monument, I also want to go to London, because England is where English language developed. If I can ride my bike in Cambridge university, I will be very happy.
I hope I can speak English with everyone in the world. I'll introduce China to them, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and Dongying.
I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after hard study, one day I can speak English very well.
If you want to be loved, you should learn to love . So I believe as I love English everyday , it will love me too
There is more I like to do. There is more I want to say. Maybe I can tell you more next time. That’s all, thank you!
my dream
everyone has a dream. i often ask myself. when i was a little boy, i wanted to be a soldier with a gun so that i could defend our motherland.now i am a young boy with a new dream——to be a doctor. i want to be a famous doctor, helping the sick and saving their lives.
i also saw some people who were suffering and dying of ill-nesses. i made up my mind to become a doctor, so that i can help the sick people and cure them of their diseases. china is a develop-ing country. she needs good medicine and good doctors, especially in the countryside and lonely villages.
i want to try my best to help the poor sick people of our country. i want to let them have an opportunity to receive excel-lent treatments for their illnesses without having to pay much or any money.
i'll do every bit to cure the incurable. i hope to see a world where there is no cancer, no aids, no fatal diseases. i'm confident that through the joint efforts of you and me, man will put an end to his bodily sufferings and this dream of mine will one day be brought into reality.
An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.
Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."
Ladies and Gentlemen:
There are more than friendship feeling making a person warmth? Good wine is rare, buddy harder. Friend is friend, and none can anything replace, absolutely nothing can describe - is all of the world, also cannot match friendship rose fragrance and beautiful.
Friends, or the world's most pleasant things. Friendship, is the world's most cannot lack of things. On a depressed people, friends, or even an encouraging than all the medicine are useful.
Friends good relationships between both friendship, including understanding and appreciation, trust, tolerance, sacrifice... Many virtues. Friendship is the rain is the dark umbrella, flax, sail boat is the way the wind, rugged mountain trail armrest, friendship is one which isn't locked room, you can always knocking into; Friendship is the key that can help you open your door.
However friendship is not available, is to keep the friendship of standard reduce some can really ChenDeQi friends or very rare. Just think, if have money handling a trusted friend, you can have a few people? In your CengDeng frustrated or disease trouble also willing customarily6 wrapped and timely help a friend again several people? You go out in the outside occasion for your family will add caregivers and how many? Take a further step drawing-room serving those MoNi in mind, can maintain long in the fall, and there were several people? The world is a friend of mine, but although no waving lantern to find, but he is like sand gold rush, and still need long time closing. Once the true friendship, can cast bronze jian, never back with the turn.
Adversity of friendship. Well, in trouble, was suffering from a friend's help then to appear particularly valuable. Sometimes, even if it is a dead concerns well-meaning eyes, will also be like a bunch of coals, in snow and ice in sending you warm. When you were successful and proud head, the friendship will like a pot of water, hood, put your head spilled to pour awake.
Yes, friendship is perfected, is urgently needed, friendship is the sunlight avenue, more rugged climb to hike on the mutual walker.
Friendship is a tree, with sincere and devotion to pour out, with trust and tolerance to cultivation. Jealousy and suspicion is poison, can make the roots of friendship, loss of life leaves focal green.
Friendship is intimate conversation, is silenced's care. Friendship is never requiting paying, is unrestrained equal communication. Friendship is understanding, respect, from an open heart into another open heart. Friendship is expelled loneliness and despair of power.
Friendship of joy is active. A person, though fame prominent, zhong twining waist, if there is no one can open thoracic forbidden by heart a heart of a true friend, ultimately sad pity. No friendship of life, is incomplete life, not worthy of envy.
No friendship, no friend of life, was a gloomy life, is a failure of life.
Thank you!
dear teacher, dear students:
hello everybody!
my topic today is "making the self-confidence."
thomas edison once said: "confidence is the first secret of success." yes, in life, we can not do without self-confidence everywhere. a person without faith, is bound to be abandoned by the society of a person, a person has been abandoned by successful, one was abandoned by the people themselves! therefore, we can say without hesitation: self-confidence is a person's soul!
self-confidence does not equal arrogance. it is a determination, has the power over life and death. never blindly self-confidence, it is hard honing the ability of the condensed. ability is like the crown, it is only mounted on a self-confident fengyun sparkling diamonds, will become eye-catching and gorgeous. similarly, there is no ability to foil, and let confidence no matter how brilliant, but also like the loss of green flowers, value greatly reduced.
i believe we all heard of "with confidence" the idiom story! good at the northern song painter painting paper with bamboo, when pen to paper without thinking each time they claimed a life-like bamboo map. how did he do it? it turned out that his daily observation of the bamboo hut, seasons, his unshakeable. over time, the length of bamboo thickness, leaf shape color, he is familiar with the heart, naturally, put the bamboo painted superb.
this is the power of self-confidence!
how, if there is no confidence to support him, to encourage him, even though the text was the same with earth-shattering, then do not believe in their own strength and what is the use? he would be buried in the chinese long history of five thousand years in the dust.
self-confidence can pass through time and space, it come and go like the wind, but in everyone around to stay. but if you can not catch it, it will as the yellow river water gone.
in life, we need to seize confidence. hold self-confidence, we can turn in the highest satisfaction of life; in growth, we need to seize confidence. hold self-confidence is the most perfect pass into the society; in the struggle, we need to seize confidence. hold self-confidence, success is not far away in front of you!
good morning ,boys and girl,i`m jenny peng ,today my topic is :talk about a meaningful way we can use time.at first , let me ask you a question : what do you do in your spare time ,especially in your holiday ? do you just stay at home ,watching tv,eating,and sleeping?maybe you`ll feel relax at the first time ,but if we always do like this,you`ll feel much boring . so ,the meaningful way i`m going to introduce to you is taking part-time-job in your vacation.
yes ,you are right , the meaningful way of using time i`m going to introduce to you is taking part-time-job in your vacation.besides,the location we going to work is not in your hometown,in another words,it`s a completely strange situation . maybe you feel amazy and crazy when hearing it , but i think you can learn a lot from it . first , you can learn how to be a good worker : familiar with the work schedule , obey the rules and make friends with others . besides , learn how to promote yourself . company is a relatively open socialty , it need you to show yourself in front of others , and it will help you to find a good job in the future.
after the part-time-job , we`ll more cherish our time , and find out that how happy and freedom to being a student . we`ll work hard on our study , finish our homework efficiently and struggle for our dream . as the saying going that ：yesterday is history , tomorrow is mystery , but today is a gift . let`s cherish and make full use of every minutes of our life , and believe that what we did will make sense .
thank you.
Can money buy happiness
Dear audience and judges,
My topic is "Can money buy happiness".
As we all know, money can buy all the goods in our life, no matter how huge it is. A spaceship, for example, if you really feel your bank account can afford it.
However, when it comes to love, satisfaction, happiness and many other human feelings, it is completely not like this. The result of many recent research can support my point. They said that, though people received far more money than ever, their standard for happiness also rised. That means, if you had one yuan, a car might be your dream, but if you had one million, you might consider owning a space trip. So when people always hope for those they can not afford, they will push themselves to an unhappy situation.
Anyhow, money equal wealthy in life but not happiness in mind. Only by changing our attitude to money and enjoying every day, can we obtain a truely happy future!
