There was a young flower in the desert where all was dry and sad looking…… It was growing by itself enjoying every day and saying to the sun ,"When shall I be grown up?" And the sun would say "Be patient .Each time I touch you，you grow a little." She was so pleased because she would have a chance to bring beauty to this corner of sand. And this is all she wanted to do - bring a little bit of beauty to this world.
One day the hunter came by and stepped on her. She was going to die and she felt so sad. Not because she was dying , but because she would not have a chance to bring a little bit of beauty to this corner of the desert.
The great spirit saw her，and was listening. - Indeed，he said…… She should be living. And he reached down and touched her , and gave her life.
And she grew up to be a beautiful flower and this corner of the desert became so beautiful because of her.

尊敬的各位家長：
上午好！
作為一名高一學生的家長，想必您時常為孩子的學業(yè)問題操心，非常感謝您的支持！
作為英語老師，我也盼望著與您攜手，與您交流，共同探討孩子成才的問題。英語學不好，在今后的社會中就難以立足。我想努力，這就需要您的支持和合作。高中的英語教材（5a）與大學英語教材是配套的，這就意味著：現(xiàn)在的英語成績不僅直接影響孩子的期末考試與升學，還影響著孩子將來的英語學習！
半年的共同學習，使我半喜半憂，喜的是，我們高一三班的學生都很聰明，接受能力強，學習起來顯得很輕松，讓我覺得憂慮的是：部分孩子對英語不太重視。（包括與個別家長的交流中，發(fā)現(xiàn)有家長也未重視）可能這里也包含許多家長覺得英語不太好輔導，你說語文數(shù)學吧，還懂點，這英語吧，還真是不好不懂裝懂，所以導致相當一部分的孩子英語基礎打得很不牢，個別的孩子甚至拼讀、書寫、背誦等學習英語的好習慣還沒有很好的養(yǎng)成，需要從頭開始。但是，孩子們上課時的專注同時也讓我感到欣喜。認真的孩子一定能把英語學好！
我確信：英語要學好和智商無關，學不好英語的人都是懶惰的人。
新教材與初中的教材跨度很大，要求也上了幾個臺階，對孩子們具有比較大的難度。細心的家長可能就會發(fā)現(xiàn)，高中的課本和初中的課本相比，無論是從詞匯量，語法還是課文篇幅的長短都有了明顯的區(qū)別，初中的內(nèi)容相當簡單，它簡直就是三年級知識的鞏固，稍微有所延伸，而高一一下子就接觸并需要掌握兩種時態(tài)。所以，有些同學很不能適應，初中學得輕松，還考好成績，怎么到了高一不行了，這樣的現(xiàn)象很普遍，說到底，還是好的習慣沒有養(yǎng)成，不夠勤奮。在這里，我要點名表揚幾位學生，她們學習態(tài)度端正，上課認真，書寫工整，正因為如此，無論什么考試都能取得很好的成績。另外我還要提幾個同學，他們的潛力很大，但因為還不夠認真刻苦，所以沒有發(fā)揮出自己最好的水平，希望家長能夠配合老師，把孩子的成績抓上去。我堅信：如果您的孩子在您的支持和我的指導下能夠及時完成我布置的任務，那么一定能學好。要教導您的孩子一開始就要有吃苦耐勞的精神。堅持嚴謹?shù)膶W習作風，成績馬上就會見效。
目前的形勢決定了英語學科的重要性，請各位家長務必重視英語這一學科，你們思想上重視了，無形中也給孩子以熏陶，重視與不重視肯定是完全不同的，在英語課堂上，大部分學生都能很活躍的回答老師提出的問題，積極跟著老師拼讀單詞，朗讀課文。其實這也制造了一種假象，學生認為自己常常被老師提問，認為自己能夠回答老師的問題，于是認為自己的英語學得很不錯，自我感覺特別好。于是下課后在英語上花的時間就少了。其實要學好英語，課上占40%，其余的60%還需要學生在課后不斷的鞏固，加深記憶。在課上老師更多的是教授新知識，當然課上也會有少量的時間鞏固新學的知識。但是這些時間是公共的時間，而不是每個學生私有的時間，所以不可能照顧到每個學生，不可能讓所有學生都達到相同的程度。況且每個學生對新知識得接受能力都是不同的，有的可能當堂就已經(jīng)有很深的印象，很難忘記，但這肯定是很少的。大部分學生都只能是初步接觸了新知識，要真正接受新知識還要學生在課后多下功夫，不然肯定會和別的同學拉下差距。
那么在課后學生到底該怎么做才能把其余的60%補回來呢？英語畢竟不是我們自己的語言，大多數(shù)學生除了英語課其余時間根本就不會想到要說英語，所以，在課后一定要主動抽時間為自己補習英語。學好英語，不外乎就是在聽，說，讀，寫這些方面下功夫。
首先說一下聽，每個學生都有和書相配套的磁帶，可是請各位家長檢查一下自己的子女的英語磁帶，有多少學生的磁帶還是和剛發(fā)的時候一樣的，根本就沒有聽過。不要說另外買什么英語聽力磁帶或者英語學習的碟片了，連自己手頭的磁帶都不去聽，光靠上課聽一點點的磁帶，學生的聽力根本就不能有什么發(fā)展。不會聽就不能說，而說白了，學了英語就是要說，那不是白學了么？聽錄音機跟讀，目的應該是兩種，一種同學是上課沒有完全消化，聽錄音是補充學習的過程，另外一種是提高自己的聽力和口語表達能力，要學生盡力地去模仿錄音機里的發(fā)音，從而使自己的聽力和口語都提高一個層次。
接下來是說，英語是一門語言，學了就是要說，要和別人交流。我們學的英語不應該是啞巴英語，要讓每個學生學會勇敢地說出來。在課上我會用各種方法來刺激學生，激發(fā)他們說英語的積極性，大多數(shù)學生也確實做得很好�？墒前嗉壚锶硕�，對每個人來說，說的機會就少。所以下課也要說；放學回家也要說。在學校，我鼓勵學生把所學的英語對話運用到生活中去，這樣有更真實的情景，更能讓學生有發(fā)揮的余地。在家里，希望家長也能鼓勵學生說英語，也許你會說你自己也聽不懂，請不要這樣想，其實學生需要是你的鼓勵，你聽了他們說的只要簡單表揚一句，他們就會很滿足了。有時候你們也可以不懂裝懂，或者還可以讓學生反過來教你，他們會覺得很自豪，因為自己所學得派上了用場。
接下來是讀。有句話：“讀書破萬卷，下筆如有神�！睂W英語也是這樣，很多家長也明白，學英語要培養(yǎng)語感，也就是語言的感覺，如果有很好的語感，那么不管是說話，做題目，還是寫文章，都很輕松，很簡單了。那么語感怎么來呢？就是靠讀出來的。一定要讓學生養(yǎng)成每天讀英語的習慣，這是學英語的最基本的學習習慣了。每天早上一定要讀20分鐘左右的英語，哪怕有時候時間來不及了，即使是遲到也要讀，并且每天都堅持，絕不因任何原因間斷。無論什么事情都貴在堅持嘛。如果你的子女還沒有養(yǎng)成這樣的學習習慣，請你一定要督促他，剛開始也許會比較難，時間久了，就會習慣成自然。就像早上起來要刷牙洗臉一樣，要讓他們把讀英語當作每天必做的一件事。
最后是寫。主要就是單詞短語的默寫，這是學英語的必經(jīng)之路。單詞往往背過就容易會忘記，所以要不斷的背默寫，不斷的翻新，這是沒有辦法的。背單詞的.時候要邊拼邊寫，嘴巴和手都要動起來，嘴上十遍不如手上一遍。家長在這里要作好檢查督促的工作，不要用不懂英語來幫助你的孩子學會偷懶，你可以報中文，讓你的孩子默寫，然后對照書本批改訂正，每天堅持的話，你一定會有意想不到的效果。還有句型，學生應該在課上領會句型的意思和運用方法。課后還需要通過多讀課文，多練習才能鞏固所學的句型。所以請各位家長不光要注重孩子背單詞短語的情況，還要讓他重視句子的重要性。

有一位長者走遍世界各地介紹中國申辦奧運會。那段特別艱難的經(jīng)歷已經(jīng)根植在他的內(nèi)心。聽到中國成功申辦第29屆奧運會的好消息后，他激動得忍不住流淚，說我從1993年開始就一直在等待那一天，最幸福的事情終于發(fā)生在中國。這個人就是何振梁先生，他把他的余生都獻給了中國奧運會。正是憑借他的精神、激情、勇氣和對中國強烈的愛國主義意識，我們正在向世界邁出下一步。
女士們先生們，現(xiàn)在我有一個問題要問在座的各位。你還記得那個難忘的場景嗎？是還是不是？請伸出你的手，讓我看看有多少？哇，好多人。難忘的時刻還清晰地縈繞在你的腦海里。
20xx年7月13日晚10點08分，前國際奧委會主席薩馬蘭奇先生在莫斯科宣布，第29屆奧運會的主辦城市將是北京市。與此同時，在中國，激動的情緒通過奧林匹克會議室傳入北京、這座城市和整個國家。中國人，無論是在國外還是在國內(nèi)，都以各種方式慶祝這個成功的偉大時刻，比如互相擁抱，跳躍，叫喊，哭泣，喝酒，唱歌，跳舞，午夜在街上游行�，F(xiàn)代中國，一個5000年文明和歷史的產(chǎn)物，以她的拼搏精神和毅力，終于和奧運會握手言和，實現(xiàn)了期待已久的夢想。
現(xiàn)在許多中國人正在盡最大努力為即將到來的奧運會做他們能做的事情。他們學英語是為了和外國人交流。他們改掉壞習慣來保護環(huán)境。他們渴望成為奧運會志愿者。他們向世界人民介紹中國的偉大傳統(tǒng)、文化和文明。他們申請火炬手來傳遞信息。分享和平，分享奧運”。
在一年倒計時的時刻，我們中國人正在為這個大事件做準備。北京奧組委正在履行申辦時做出的承諾。在綠色奧運、科技奧運和人文奧運的理念指導下；第29屆奧運會將加強交流，增進合作，縮短中國與世界的距離。
我想再次強調(diào)一點“國家參與”。和我們一樣，作為一個普通公民，我們強烈意識到自己的責任:多植樹來覆蓋空間，少開車來緩解交通堵塞，充分利用能源來減少污染等等。所有這些行動不僅會改善我們的生活環(huán)境，而且會造福我們的下一代。
明年8月8日，北京將見證世界的輝煌。世界上最大的體育賽事，將為世界五分之一的人口帶來奧林匹克價值。這將是奧運會歷史上最激動人心的項目之一。北京是吸引游客的主要景點，它將伸出雙手向世界人民表示熱烈的歡迎，所有的客人都會對中國留下深刻的印象。美國最先進的場館，舒適的城市環(huán)境，熱情的志愿者和壓倒性的公眾興趣。

Ladies and Gentlemen: My topic is Honesty.
As a correspondent of the Qingdao Morning News, I visited Dr. James Gilman, the President of the International Committee for Marco Polo Studies in England. In this picture, this is James, and this is me and we are looking at a dragon’s tooth. This is a true story.
65 years ago, James lived in Qingdao. Then he was only 5 years old. He often visited the Aquarium and was fascinated by a creature on display there, which he thought was a dragon. He was afraid of its sharp teeth and wanted one to keep as a treasure.
In the late 1930s, when the Japanese occupied Qingdao, his family had to leave. On his last day in Qingdao, he ran to the Aquarium and pulled out one of the teeth from the dragon’s mouth.
He kept the tooth for the next 65 years, but the feeling of guilt at having stolen it was there in the background all through his life. It was always on his conscience, and the feeling intensified as he became older. Finally he decided to put right his childish error. In 20xx, he visited Qingdao and returned it to the Aquarium with his sincere apologies. He received a warm welcome.
When James visited Qingdao, I accompanied him all the time and reported on his visit. I was deeply touched by his honesty. It has taught me a lot. I think to err is human. The important thing is to have the courage to admit and correct one’s error.
Honesty is a vital quality of human behaviour. So we should try to keep an honest mind in everything we say and do. I would like to say to all of my friends: Let’s be honest people of good moral character.
Thank you.

As everyone knows, English is very important today. It has been used everywhere in the world. It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade. If we can speak English well, we will have more chance to succeed. Because more and more people have taken notice of it, the number of the people who go to learn English has increased at a你好gh speed.But for myself, I learn English not only because of its importance and its usefulness, but also because of my love for it. When I learn English, I can feel a different way of t你好nking w你好ch gives me more room to touch the world. When I read English novels, I can feel the pleasure from the book w你好ch is different from reading the translation. When I speak English, I can feel the confident from my words. When I write English, I can see the beauty w你好ch is not the same as our C你好nese...I love English, it gives me a colorful dream. I hope I can travel around the world one day. With my good English, I can make friends with many people from different countries. I can see many places of GREat intrests. I dream that I can go to London, because it is the birth place of English.I also want to use my good English to introduce our GREat places to the English spoken people, I hope that they can love our country like us.I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well.If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So I believe as I love English everyday , it will love me too.I am sure that I will realize my dream one day!Thank you!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:
一、Do you know what is youth?
二、How do you master your youth?YouthYouth 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 freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite, for adventure over the love of ease. T你好s 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 c你好ldlike 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 wireless station: 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!

the prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning;and it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary in order to reachmy goal. failure i may still encounter at the thousandth step, yet success hidesbehind the next bend in the road. never will i know how close it lies unless iturn the corner.
always will i take another step. if that is of no avail i will takeanother, and yet another. in truth, one step at a time is not too difficult.
henceforth, i will consider each day's effort as but one blow of my bladeagainst a mighty oak. the first blow may cause not a tremor in the wood, nor thesecond, nor the third. each bolw, of itself, may be trifling, and seem of noconsequence. yet from childish swipes the oak will eventually tumble. so it willbe with my efforts of today.
i will be liken to the rain drop which washes away the mountain; the antwho devours a tiger; the star which brightens the earth; the slave who builds apyramid. i will build my castle one brick at a time for i know that smallattempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking.

Good afternoon,ladies and gentlemen!
I’m very honored to stand here and give you a short speech! To begin with,I want to ask a question .Does everybody dream a good dream last night?Actually ,today I want to talk about dream with you. Of course, What I want totalk is not a dream you have last night,but a dream—— about life.
Everyone has dreams about life, different dreams at different lifestage,and we need dreams to support us. Dreams are like the stars we never reachin the sky,but like most mariners,we can chart our course by them. With thedream,we have a direction,with a direction, we were no longer confused.With thedream, there is hope,With hope, we have the strength to fight.
I have a dream: To be a doctor.，because doctor may relieve the pain ofpatients. May let the human change the health. At the same time, I believedthat, those who help others may be able to obtain joyfully. Therefore, I hopedin the near future ,I might be a doctor.
But I know，life is tough,and there are always ups and downs, maybe we failin the way to our aims,and we may feel depressed ,whenever at this time, thedream in our heart can always comfort us, encourage us ,and support us to moveahead .
Young!Fortunately, I am young now. Just due to it, I know that nothing isimpossible.I firmly believe that nothing can stand in my way. If I can't realizemy dream,it result from that I haven't work harder enough and I won't find otherexcuses. If no people believe you, you can make it to prove that you are right.If you think the god haven't blessed you and there is no truth here, you canbecome the god and create the truth.
"My breath swallows the sky and make the yellow river overflow, my sword isfamous in Kyushu and it can collapse the five sacred mountains." At some time inthe past I also had am bitious words and I had some achievements. Eachachievement results from my hard work. I always believe that "If you want tohave more achievements than others, you must work harder." In some extent, thedream is the hope. If you can insist on doing something, the victory willcome.
Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird thatcannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren fieldfrozen with snow. So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams.Whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today. Let's--- move----out!
Thank you for your listening!
Best wishes!

he values Americans live by may seem strange to you. As a result, you mightfind their actions confusing, even unbelievable. This is my opinion aboutAmerican Value. Whether you agree with me or not - or is willing to accept asvalid any generalizations about Americans - my observations arethought-provoking.
Americans do not believe in the power of fate, and they look at people whodo as being backward, primitive, or naive. In the American context, to be"fatalistic" is to be superstitious, lazy, or unwilling to take initiative.Everyone should have control over whatever in the environment might potentiallyaffect him or her. The problems of one's life are not seen as having resultedfrom bad luck as much as having come from one's laziness and unwillingness totake responsibility in pursuing a better life.
In the American mind, change is seen as indisputably good, leading todevelopment, improvement, progress. Many older, more traditional culturesconsider change disruptive and destructive; they value stability, continuity,tradition, and ancient heritage - none of which are considered very important inthe United States.
Time is of utmost importance to most Americans. It is something to be on,kept, filled, saved, used, spent, wasted, lost, gained, planned, given, evenkilled. Americans are more concerned with getting things accomplished on timethan they are with developing interpersonal relations. Their lives seemcontrolled by the little machines they wear on their wrists, cutting theirdiscussions off abruptly to make their next appointment on time. This philosophyhas enabled Americans to be extremely productive, and productivity Is highlyvalued In their country.
Equality is so cherished in the U.S. that it is seen as having a religiousbasis. Americans believe that all people are created equal and that all shouldhave an equal opportunity to succeed. This concept of equality is strange toseven-eighths of the world which views status and authority as desirable, evenif they happen to be near the bottom of the social order. Since Americans liketo treat foreigners "Just like anybody else", newcomers to the U.S. shouldrealize that no insult or personal indignity is intended if they are treated ina less than-deferential manner by waiters in restaurants, clerks in stores andhotels, taxi drivers, and other service personnel.
Americans view themselves as highly individualistic in their thoughts andactions. They resist being thought of as representatives of any homogeneousgroup. When they do join groups, they believe they are special. Just a littledifferent from other members of the same group. In the U.S. you will find peoplefreely expressing a variety of opinions anywhere and anytime. Yet, in spite ofthis independence, almost all Americans end up voting for one of their two majorpolitical parties. Individualism leads to privacy, which Americans see asdesirable. The word privacy does not exist in many non-Western languages. If Itdoes, it is likely to have a negative connotation, suggesting loneliness orforced isolation. It is not uncommon for Americans to say, and almost tobelieve: "If I don't have half an hour a day to myself, I go stark-ravingmad!"
Americans take credit only for what they accomplish as individuals. Theyget no credit for having been born into a rich family but pride themselves inhaving climbed the ladder of success, to whatever level, all by themselves. Inan English-language dictionary, there are more than 100 composite words thathave the word "self" as a prefix: self-aware. self-confident, self-conscious,self-contented, self-control, self-criticism, self-deception, self-defeating,self-denial. The equivalent of these words cannot be found in most otherlanguages. It is an indicator of how highly Americans regard the self-made manor woman.
Many other countries have developed subtle, sometimes highly ritualistic,ways of informing others of unpleasant information. Americans prefer the directapproach. They are likely to be completely honest in delivering their negativeevaluations, and to consider, anything other than the most direct and openapproach to be "dishonest" and "insincere". Anyone in the U.S. who uses anintermediary to deliver the message will also be considered "manipulative" and"untrustworthy". If you come from a country where saving face is important, beassured that Americans are not trying to make you lose face with theirdirectness.
As a matter of fact, the major American Value is distinct from Chinese. Weought to accept it when we communicate with Americans. Thus, we need makeourselves think globally and act locally.

Many people have sought a variety of sources for their feeling of happiness. Some people have put their heart and efforts into their work. Too many people turned to drugs and alcohol. Untold numbers have looked for it in the possession of expensive cars, and other popular toys.

Today , some people think that an expensive car is stimults . Happiness is a response , and so on .This belief leaves us thinking and feeling : I will be happy when ……
But , I believe that happiness is a sttimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy ,when we are happy ,we tend to have more success in our work . When we are happy , people want to be around us and enjoy loving relationship . When we are happy , wo more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health . Happiness is not a response ----rather , it is a stimults .
Happiness is a conscious choice we make everyday of our lives . We usually get things we want after we choose to be happy . I think you can make only one simple rule for your own happiness . Every day above ground is a good day . Therefore , I tend to have a lot of good days in successsion!
