Follow The Fashion
nowadays more and more young people prefer to follow the fashion. the word 'fashion' is generally used to mean s tyle in clothing. they make p eople handsome a nd cool. also, fashion can be something strange. from that we can be different from others. but all of these can change from time to time. and valuable
personal qualities and characters never change. so i think they are the true fashions.
helpful and warm-hearted is a kind of fashion because not everyone can be like that. if you are not willing to help others, it is difficult for you to get along well with others. if you
can always have a lot of friends, you are fashionable.
love is always important in the world. many people around
the world need care and love. if you can show you love to the
people in need, you are fashionable.
to protect the environment is fashion. if you don't use the plastic bags and do something to protect our earth, you are fashionable.
so let's form good personal qualities. let's follow the
fashion.

Youth Olympic Games
today my t opic is the 2014 youth olympic games. we all know that nanjing was selected to hold the 2014 youth olympic games in feb 11th 2011 . as
a native citizen of nanjing, i felt extremely excitied and prouded when
i first heard this great event. by the mean time, i began to ask myself,
as a host of this city, what shall we do to welcome young friends from
all over the world?
in my o pinion. firstly, spoken english is far more important than all other difficulties. learning a language takes a long time and a lot of
hardship, it's not easy. so can we get most of nanjing people to speak
english before 2014? it needs us to try and practice very hard.
secondly, as a citizen of Nanjing, i will use my enthusiasm and smile to greet every foreign friends from all over the world, and to show off
our nanjingers’ friendly and hospitable spirit so that every foreign
friends will know the city by the faces. and do my best to help them, for example, to be a little translator and to help foreigners when they ask
the way. let them know china by the behaviors of us.
lastly, i would like to learn more about Nanjing’ｓ Olympic and for the future to our foreign friends knowing more about our beautiful Nanjing, as well as the long history and splendid culture, i would like to encourage my classmates to study together and promote environmental awareness for
the Nanjing youth Olympic games.
in a word, with the slogan that “grow with yog!” ,we should do anything we can to hold the great game.
that’s all, thank you.
Never Say Die
"never say die, i've been down t his road before. i'll never quit, i'll never lay down." it's the song named "win". it tells us never say die.
seeing this topic, what first strikes my m ind is the group of blind football players who won the silver medal at the
Beijing Paralympics games. what they did shows the spirit of
the old saying “never say die”. instead of giving up because of their blindness, they have redoubled their efforts and they did wonders.
never give up, even though there are many difficult things waiting for you. if you try your best, maybe t here will be many successes behind you the next time.
i once read a book called "the count of Montecito". in the book, it says, all human w isdom is summed up in these two words, wait and hope. just try your best, wait for the success and hold on your hopes.
trying times will pass, as they always do. face the trouble heroically and just have patience, your dreams will come true
and you will surely win.
Keep your goal in mind
do you have a goal for your work? do you have a goal for your study? do you have a goal for your life? maybe i will get an
affirmative reply. yeah, everyone has a goal of doing something. there is no doubt that a goal is very important in our life.
now i want to tell you a true story in my school life. i have
learned a lot from it.
i never forget last year’s school sports meeting. 1500-meter race was one of the most exciting. before the race, my best
friend xiaoshan had a goal to be no. 1. as a matter a fact, she is not so strong, but she is a sunny girl. she is active and
likes doing sports. what’s more, she tries her best to achieve the goal, but i wonder if she is able to be the champion. there were eight players in the race. on the first lap, she was in
the sixth place; on the second lap, the took the fourth place, she went on running and she ran toward her goal, the goal in
her mind, look! on the last lap, she was the first to pass the
finishing line, she was the winner. oh, great! she made it! congratulations!
Keep your goal in mind
at that time, i knew a goal was so necessary and important. i made
a decision : “i want to take part in the english speaking competition
held in my school. what’s more, i will try my best to be no.1 in the competition as my best friend xiaoshan did in sports meet. ” i am sure of it. i still remembered what my english teacher said to us. he said :
“if anyone took the first place in our school english speaking
competition, he or she will be chose to take the competition held in
jinjiang. it’s a great honor!”
though i can do well in my e nglish written exams, however, to be honest, i am a little afraid to speak english in public. my english teacher often encourages me: “ your voice sounds so beautiful, be brave, you will succeed.” from then on, i kept a goal in mind. i said to myself aloud:
stick to your goal and you will win. and then i try my best to improve
my o ral english and dare to speak either in class or after class. at last,
i took part in the competition and became no. 1. i am chose to take part
in the next year’s English speaking competition held in jinjiang. i said to myself aloud again: come on! you will win.
how time flies! today i am a lucky dog. i am v ery honored to give you a speech. i hope everyone has a dream! in fact, we should work hard to
make o ur dream come true. otherwise it will become d ay dream. at the same time, i hope everyone has a goal in mind, because the goal is the first
step to success.
My dream
my great pleasure to share my dream with you today. my dream is to become a teacher. to be honest ,at first i don’t want to be a teacher, because in my view, this job is not challenge and monotonous . the major reason is that i am not patient enough and want to live a colorful
life. however, when i see their eyes, especially the hungry eyes, i know there is something that i can do to change their situation..
i dream that one day, more and more people will take part in the public service activities and try their best to help the poor students. because we are a big family, only when we do it, our society will be much more
harmony.
i dream that one day, the government will take measures to strengthen the investment on education. of course, it is a long process to achieve the goal -fair education. whatever the government is the most important
roles in the progress, just like bridge between starting and destination.
i dream that one day, when the students get up in the morning,, there should be a light flash in their eyes, with greeting the dawn’s first ray of sunshine instead of worrying about the books even the power and
dinner.
i dream that one day, there will be more volunteers participant it
and to be a teacher. as the saying goes, teach him to fish than give him
fish. bacon once said, knowledge is power. for poor student is exactly
correct.. at present, education is fair in some certain degree whether
you believe it or not. they just can change their lives by the means of
learning, working, improving and leaping. so teacher is bad indeed.
let pray for them ,they will be live better and have a bright future.
as we all known thinking is easy acting is difficult and
to put one's thoughts into actions is the most difficult thing in the world.
so if we want to learn English well ,we must practice
reading English everyday ,actually practicing repeatly is the best way to succeed. when you speak ,don't care how poorly or
how well you speak just care about catching the chance to
speak ,enjoy losing face or just forget your face because the
more you speak the better your English will become, never afraid of making mistakes because the more mistakes you make t he more progress you will make. as a man living in the world ,we must
try our best to make e ach day our masterpiece and don't let our parents down ,don't ever let our country down ,most importantly don't let our self down.
yesterday is a memory t omorrow is a dream so live for today just do it right now. i believe if you can dream it you can make it ,if you do you will win if you don't you won't. believe in
yourself trust yourself try your best. don't give up ,never give in, never lose hope ,never say impossible .the success is
coming !
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 m ust 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.
it is true that most of us value honesty highly. however, nowadays we o ften confront confidence crisis such as cheating, overcharging, fake
commodities and so on. i think that we should be honest because being honest is not only beneficial to ourselves but also to others and the whole society. the reasons can be listed as follows. Firstly, only honest people can be truly respected by the others and can make more friends
over a long period of time.
secondly, honesty, which is the traditional virtue of the Chinese
people, can make o ur life easier and more harmonious. thirdly, honesty can make our society more stable. a case in point is that Singapore,
a society featuring trustworthiness and integrity, has a comparatively low criminal rate.
responsibility can be understood in many w ays. for the parents , they have had the responsibility for caring for and fostering their children since the birth of their baby. for teachers, both in kindergartens and colleges, they also should be responsible for the study and life of their students, that is to say, teachers are the second parents of children some while.
for us, as a friend of others, it is our responsibility to help our
friends when they are in trouble or faced with difficulties. each one
has the different responsibly based on their roles but we must take it for granted that we are responsible for the society.
Everybody Can Help The Environment
we all know Tagore. this famous Indian poet once said, “life is given to us, and we earn it by giving it.” as the saying goes, nature is given to us, and we e arn it by contributing to it. however, most people nowadays just want to ask for more from the nature. in fact, they do very little
contribution to the nature. therefore, the environment around us is
becoming worse and worse.
do you often use batteries? then do you know it takes 50 times more
energy to make them than they produce? and just one simple battery can
pollute as much water as a person can drink in his whole life. the facts
and figures are amazing. so would you please try to use batteries only
when it is necessary? if possible, give the used ones to the recycling
companies so that they will be made into new ones and won’t be able to pollute the environment any more. sometimes we become c omplacent when it comes t o recycling, but when y ou speak in terms of actual facts and figures that everybody can understand, people become much clearer about the
problem.
we, as school students, can also join in recycling activities to
protect the environment. We should always remember in our mind that
protecting the environment is our duty that we can never neglect. finally would you please let me end this speech with a little poem, “be kind to the river. be good to the trees. smile at the sunshine, and bow to the
breeze. be friendly to nature, and nature will be friendly to you!”
How to Lose Weight
it seems t hat many p eople today are overweight. no one wants to carry around extra pounds, lout few people know how to slum down effectively. they look for miracle pills and magic cures. in the end, they fail and the pounds come back. but the most
effective way of losing weight is actually very simple. it is
a combination of a good diet and proper exercise. what makes
it work is determination. it requires discipline and commitment to succeed.
my aunt had been trying to lose weight for years. she
went on one diet after another, but none of them worked. she
lost a lot of weight quickly only to have it come b ack. finally, she followed her doctor's advice and began to eat a simple,
well-balanced diet. she ate lots of fruits and vegetables and
avoided high-fat foods. in addition, she joined an exercise
class. she worked out three times a week. at first, my aunt
wasn't happy because the weight came off so slowly. but her classmates encouraged her to stick to it and eventually she
reached her goal. best of all, she was able to stay at her ideal weight. that was because she had developed healthy new habits.
heal the world, makes it a better place. for you and for
me, and the entire human race. just as what the song sings, it
is very important for us to protect the environment.
there is one thing in common in my f amily, that is, no matter in my father’s workbag, in my mother’s purse, or even in my schoolbag, there is a pair of chopsticks. strange? let me t ell you the reason. my mom said: “just as if we eat out one time
a day, we’ll save 1000 pairs of chopsticks in a year’s time. that means we have saved a big tree.
my dad said: “without every single person, there is no
human race. so, it is everyone’s duty to protect the environment. saying a thousand times of protecting environment is not as
useful as putting a pair of chopsticks in your bag.
i said: “this is a good habit, i shall pass it to the next generation. the pair of chopsticks reminds us that it is our
duty to protect the environment, to save our planet. my dear
friends, have you put a pair of chopsticks in your bag? if you
haven’t, just do it now.
Sports brings us together
Sports are more than competitions. To me, they mean growth under the care of others. I
learned this the hard way.
I used to be very shy and often felt lonely. Although I did well in all the academic subjects,
I was afraid of physical education. My classmates often laughed at me.
“Look at that girl,” they said. “Her feet don’t leave the ground when she runs!”
Their words embarrassed me. Moreover, whenever the teacher organized some
competitive games, no one in the class liked to have me as their partner or team member.
As a result, I often ended up looking at others enjoy their games.
Things would go on like that if not for a sports meet in my high school. By mistake, my
name was put on the list of th ose who would compete in the women’s 1500 meters race.
By the time people found the mistake, it was too late to change.
My desk-mate was a natural athlete. She said to me, “I couldn’t run that race in your place, because I’ve signed up for three items already.” Other athletic girls of the class said the
same.
I was utterly dumbfounded. 1500 meters! Running against the best runners from other
classes! And in front of students of the entire school! It would be the worst nightmare I’d ever have!
“You still have time to catch up because there is still one month before the sports meet,”　they all said this to me, including my teacher.
My desk-mate patted me on the shoulder, “Cool! You will run for our class! And we will do
just for myself, but for my class too, I said to myself. But
training together.” Yes, this is not
still, 1500 meters to me was like Mount Everest to a beginning climber. I had no idea even
how to start my preparation.
Fortunately, my desk-mate gave me a hand. Every afternoon after class, several of us ran
together. When the fear of being laughed at struck me, I saw others running right beside
me. They gave me strengths. While we were running, some others would stand by the
tracks cheering for us.
One month certainly couldn’t make me a good runner. But when I was standing behind the start line, I no longer felt lonely or afraid. I saw my classmates standing by the tracks waving at me as if about to run beside me.
With the shot of the starting gun, I dashed out and ran as fast as I could, as if it were a 200-meter race. Soon I was out of breath and slowed down. Other
runners passed me one by one, and gradually I had no idea how many of them were still behind me. My legs were getting heavier and heavier, and I might fall down at any moment. However, I suddenly heard my classmates chanting my name. My desk-mate even ran along the tracks beside me and cheered for me
at the same time, just like the month-long training we did together.
As expected, I was almost the last to cross the finish line. Immediately, my classmates held my arms and urged me to walk on my feet and not to sit down.
I was surrounded, with all kinds of drinks handed to me. I felt a kind of warmth I had never felt before. Even though I was almost the last to finish the race, I
was full of confidence that I would improve in the future.
That sports meet was an unforgettable experience. The memory of my classmates cheering for me, holding my arms and handing me drinks stays
fresh on my mind. Sports are no longer about winning or losing. They give me
a lot of confidence, both confidence in my fellow students and confidence in
my own potential. I am no longer lonely, no longer afraid. Sports have brought
me close to my classmates and helped us grow together.
Now, I participate in the sports meet every year. Even if I am not competing, I would help my classmates with their practice, just like the way my desk-mate
and others ran with me.
