明天會更好

我是一個生在北京，長在北京的男孩。對這座城市有著深厚的感情。2014年北京申辦2014奧運會成功，我感到無比的興奮與喜悅并發自內心地希望可以為建設一個生態北京，辦好一次綠色奧運盡自己的一份綿薄之力。

在經濟飛速發展的21世紀，環境的好與壞逐漸成為了衡量一個城市優劣的重要標準。因此，我們有了綠色奧運 的口號。當然了，口號是指導，最重要的還是要落實到行動當中。諸如垃圾分類，綠色能源，綠色發電等等等等，都是國家為打造生態北京、綠色奧運做出的不懈努力。當然，依舊是學生的我們或許無法做什么大事，但如果每一個人都有心去做一點，那么我們千千萬萬的北京學子們一定可以讓北京美起來！

其實我們要做的也很簡單：每當有用完的廢電池不要亂扔，應集中交給回收站處理；每當有生活垃圾要扔掉的時候，應認真地進行垃圾分類，再扔進垃圾箱內；而且我們也應當學會保護身邊的動植物，一花一草，一鳥一蟲都是生態北京的一個重要組成部分。

非常幸運的我曾親身參與過一次綠色活動。就在今年植樹節前夕，我和全班同學一起在校園內種了五棵針葉松。那天風很大，同學們鏟土的鏟土，挑水的挑水絲毫不怠慢。我和組里的幾個男生也運起力量將樹苗放進挖好的坑里。十幾分鐘的時間樹都栽好了。活動

稍顯短暫甚至有些倉促。但這不只是為給學校種幾棵樹。而是自己為了一方環境做出貢獻，以自己的勞動給城市的綠色添上新的一筆。看著眼前的五棵樹牽手，我堅信，明天必將有更多更高大的綠樹矗立。這片綠色會從我們心底延伸出去，覆蓋我們的北京城使它充滿活力，生機勃勃。給綠色奧運一個美麗的環境，給我們北京的居民們一個美麗的環境。

親身經歷講完了，最終的目的其實還是希望大家--每一位中學生都應該在心里樹立一種主人公意識！我們都是中國人，生活在共同的神州大地上。首都只有一個，正如地球也只有一個，不去美化他們，還有誰值得我們為之付出？美好的自然環境是建立在優質的人文環境基礎上的。每一個人主人翁意識的形成和綜合素質的提高其實都是在為我們北京的環境打下基礎，人文環境越來越好，自然環境必將隨之好上加好！當環保不再只是紙上的兩個字，不在只是一句空洞的口號時。是否每一個人都還有

喊口號時的那份熱情，真的愿意彎下腰拾起路邊的垃圾，真的能握住手中的廢紙堅持走道垃圾箱旁再放下，或是為自己身邊的花花草草著想，不隨意踐踏了他們。我們不得不承認這不容易，這或許也是我之所以站在這里的原因，去說，去號召并以自己的光彩感染別人。

2014奧運將至，這是我們向世界展示環保成果的一次機會，也是對我們環保的一次考驗。要如何去把這個綠色奧運辦的名副其實，讓全世界為之贊嘆，需要我們每一個人的努力！只要我們用心去做了，北京的明天一定會更加美好，這里的天會更藍，水會更清，處處聞啼鳥不會只是意境，群星拱月之美，也將不只是想象。這樣的北京誰不想要！只要我們人人都付出了努力，北京的明天會更好！

謝謝。

Each contestant had his own take on the subject.Xia summed up globalization by saying: “It’s just controversial and hard to say whether it is good or bad.” Xia took the old wall of his city, Nanjing, as a metaphor.He spoke about the conflict over whether to protect the old walls or tear them down to represent the conflict of ideas.He suggested that people protect the wall as a valuable relic while tearing down the “intangible walls” of their minds that prevent communication.While some other students are more focusing on the impact of globalization on family relations, attitudes towards love, and job-hunting.Over the past 10 years, the national English speaking competition has given contestants a chance to speak on a variety of topics closely related to their lives.Chinese students become more open-minded and receive various ideas and thinking over the decade.Diversity becomes more obvious on campus, students have more opportunities to express and show themselves.It’s not an easy task for the contestants to win through the fierce competition.Owning to their passion, hard work and persistence, they finally succeeded in the contest.Liu Xin, the first champion of the natio-How to say future?

Maybe it’s a nice wish.Lets make up our minds, stick to it and surely well enjoy our life.演講全文：I Have a Dream by Martin Luther King, Jr.I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation.This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice.It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free.One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity.One hundred years I have a dream Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation.This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice.It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity.But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free.One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity.One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land.So we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition.In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check.When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir.This note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned.Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check which has come back marked insufficient funds.But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt.We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.So we have come to cash this check--a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now.This is no t My definition of success Today I am very glad to be here to share with you my ideas of success.What is success? It is what everyone is longing for.Sometimes success would be rather simple.Winning a game is success;getting a high grade in the exam is success;making a new friend is success;even now I am standing here giving my speech is somehow also success.However, as a person’s whole life is concerned, success becomes very complicated.Is fortune success? Is fame success? Is high social status success? No, I don’t think so.I believe success is the realization of people’ s hopes and ideals.Nowadays, in the modern society there are many people who are regarded as the successful.And the most obvious characteristics of hem are money, high position and luxurious life.So most people believe that s success and all that they do is for this purpose.But the problem is wether it is real success.We all know there are always more money, higher position and better condition in front of us.If we keep chasing them, where is the end? What will satisfy us at last? Therefore, we can see, to get the real Success we must need something inside, which is the realization of people’ hopes and ideals.Different people have different ideas about success;cause people’s hopes and ideas vary from one another.But I am sure every success is dear to everybody, cause it is not easy to come by, cause in the process of our striving for success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightened by the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and sense of responsibility.These are the best treasures.So now I am very proud that I have this opportunity to stand here speaking to all of you.It is my success, cause I raise up to challenge my hope.What is success? Everyone has his own interpretation as I do.But I am sure every success leads to an ever-brigh

More important than winning the Cup is the friendship that has been established and developed among the contestants, and the chance to communicate offstage in addition to competing onstage.Also the competition helps boost public speaking in China, a skill hitherto undervalued.For me, though, the competition is a more personal experience.Habitually shy, I had been reluctant to take part in any such activities.Encouraged by my friends, however, I made a last-minute decision to give it a try.In the course of preparation I somehow rediscovered myself, a truer me.I found that, after all, I like communicating with other people;that exchanging views can be so much fun—and so much rewarding, both emotionally and intellectually;that public speaking is most effective when you are least guarded;and that it is essential to success in every walk of life.At a more practical level, I realized knowing what you are going to say and how you are going to say it are equally important.To take the original ideas out of your head and transplant them, so to speak, to that of others, you need to have an organized mind.This ability improves with training.Yet there should not be any loss or addition or distortion in the process.Those ideas that finally find their way into another head need to be recognizably yours.Language is a means to transmit information, not a means to obstruct communication.It should be lucid to be penetrating.In China, certain public speaking skills have been unduly emphasized.Will it really help, we are compelled to ask, to bang at the podium or yell at the top of your lungs, if you have come with a poorly organized speech, a muddled mind, and unwillingness to truly share your views? Above all, the single most important thing I learnt was that as a public speaker, you need to pay attention, first and foremost, to the content of your speech.And second, the structure of your speech: how one idea relates and progresses to another.Only after these come delivery and non-verbal communication: speed control, platform manner, and so on.Pronunciation is important, yet of greater importance is this: Is your language competent enough to express your ideas exactly the way you intend them to be understood? I was informed afterwards that I was chosen to be the winner for my ”appropriately worded speech, excellent presence and quick-witted response”.In so remarking, the judges clearly showed their preference: they come to listen for meaningful ideas, not for loose judgments, nor easy laughters.Some contestants failed to address their questions head on.Some were able to, but did not know where to stop—the dragging on betrayed their lack of confidence.The root cause was that they did not listen attentively to the questions.Or they were thinking of what they had prepared.As I said in my speech, ”It is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking...to take them [issues like globalization] on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way”.We need to respond honestly.A competition like this draws talented students from all over the country.And of course, I learnt more things than just about public speaking.Since in the final analysis, public speaking is all about effective communication.And this goes true for all communications, whatever their setting.And the following is the final version of my speech: GLOBALIZATION: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES FOR CHINA'S YOUNGER GENERATION Thirty years ago, American President Richard Nixon made an epoch-making visit to China, a country still isolated at that time.Premier Zhou Enlai said to him, ”Your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world—twenty-five years of no communication”.Thirty years since, China and America have exchanged many handshakes.The fundamental implication of this example is that the need to communicate across differences in culture and ideology is not only felt by the two countries but by many other nations as well.As we can see today, environmentalists from different countries are making joint efforts to address the issue of global warming, economists are seeking solutions to financial crises that rage in a particular region but nonetheless cripple the world economy, and politicians and diplomats are getting together to discuss the issue of combating terrorism.Peace and prosperity has become a common goal that we are striving f
