Good morning, my dear classmates!
I'm very glad to have this chance to talk to you. The topic of my speech is "Let's ride a bicycle."
As is known to all, with the improvement of people's living standards, cars have become a popular means of transport, bringing great convenience to our life. However, they have also caused some problems such as air pollution and traffic jams.
How can we solve these problems then? As far as I'm concerned, riding bicycles is a good solution. For one thing, bicycles don't need any petrol and they are energy-saving. For another, bicycles are environmentally friendly because they won't give off waste gas. What's more, riding bicycles is a good way for us to exercise and it is beneficial to our health.
Therefore, let's take the responsibility to build up a low-carbon city by riding bicycles. Come on and join us!
Thank you for listening!
亲爱的同学们：你们好！
我很高兴有机会在这里和你们交谈。我今天演讲的题目是：“让我们骑自行车吧！”
众所周知，随着人们生活水平的不断提高，小汽车已经成为了流行的交通工具，它给我们的生活带来了极大的便利。然而，小汽车也同时引起了污染和交通拥堵的问题。
那么，我们该如何解决这些问题呢？ 我个人的看法是，骑自行车就是一个很好的解决办法。一方面，自行车不需要汽油，这就节省了能源。 另一方面，由于自行车不会释放废气，因此，他们是环保的。再者，对我们来说，骑车是一种很好的锻炼方式，这对我们的健康非常有利。
因此，让我们通过骑自行车，承担起建设低碳城市的责任。加油！行动起来吧！
谢谢倾听！

　　youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life. youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. this 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 may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust. whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living. in the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you 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 青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想 象，炙热的恋情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。 青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。 岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。 无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。 一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。

　　If you can't be the sun be a star;
It isn't by size that you win or you fail.
Be the best of whatever you are!
In the process of growing, there are both competition and cooperation. Have you ever thought that how to be the best of yourselves? In school life, some students just care about the competition, envying the person who learning well. They always hope to be as good as the person who work well, but never really thought about how should they to spend their life?
What is success? Different people hold different views on this question. For many people, success means mature,self-motivated and strong interpersonal skills. With those things, one may have a lot of friends and owe the ability to deal with personnel at all levels effectively.
However, for me, success is not all about those things stated above. It is more of a mindset than of material satisfaction. In my opinion, success means achieving brilliant results in one's work, that is, making outstanding contributions to the development of the country and bringing happiness to the people.
Just try to be yourself. you can't bear your prediction or plight, you just want to change all
this, but after several years, you will find that everything unchanged.
Just to be yourself. Whenver you are happy inside your heart, you are successful. It's not about what others think of you, it's about what you think of yourself.
如果你不能成为太阳成为明星；
这不是你赢或你失败的大小。
无论你是最好的！
在成长的过程中，既有竞争又有合作。你有没有想过如何成为最好的自己？在学校的生活，一些学生只关心比赛，嫉妒的人学习。他们总是希望做得好的人，但从来没有想过他们如何度过自己的生活？
什么是成功？不同的人对这个问题持有不同的看法。对许多人来说，成功意味着成熟、上进、有较强的人际交往能力。有了这些东西，一个人可能会有很多朋友，并且有能力在各个层面都有效地处理员工。
然而，对我来说，成功不是所有上述的事情。它比物质满足更为一种心态。在我看来，成功意味着在一个人的工作中取得辉煌的成果，也就是说，为国家的发展做出卓越的贡献，给人民带来快乐。
试着做你自己。你不能忍受你的预测或困境，你只想改变一切
这，但几年后，你会发现一切都没有变化。
只是为了自己。无论你是快乐的在你的心里，你是成功的。这不是别人怎么看你，这是你对自己的想法。

　　Learn How to Say No

We've all been taught that we should help people. It is the right thing to do and will make us popular with others. It may even win us favors in return. However, we must be realistic. We can't say yes to every request. If we did, we would fail or go crazy for sure. Sometimes we simply don't have the time to help. In this case, we must know how to say no politely.

When we need to say no, here is one method we can try. First, we should tell the truth. If we really can't do something, we should just say so. Second, we should remember to refuse requests politely. We must communicate clearly, but must also be sincere and sympathetic. A true friend will understand. Finally, we must not feel guilty about saying no. Sometimes refusing others is the right thing to do. It can save ourselves, and them, a lot of trouble. In short, we cannot please everyone all the time. Refusing favors is a part of life.

学习如何说不

我们都被教导说，我们应该要帮助别人。这是应该做的事，而且这样做会使我们受人欢迎。它甚至会为我们赢得一些回报。但是，我们必须要实际一点。我们不能答应每一个要求。如果我们这么做，我们就一定会失败或发疯。有时候我们确实没有时间去帮忙。既然如此，我们就必须知道如何有礼貌地说不。
当我们需要说不的时候，有个办法我们可以试试。首先，我们应该要说实话。假如我们真的办不到某件事，我们就应该说不。第二，我们应该记得要客气地拒绝对方的要求。我们必须清楚地表达，但态度也必须真诚并且表示同情。一个真正的朋友会谅解的。最后，我们不必为了说不而觉得有罪恶感。有时候拒绝别人才是我们应该做的事。它可以替我们自己和别人，都省下许多麻烦。总而言之，我们无法一直取悦每个人。拒绝请求是人生的一部分。

　　China has its own sport legends. Back to Song Dynasty, People started to play a game called Cuju, which is regarded as the origin of Ancient football. So now, you will understand why our women football team is so good today.

With a concept inspired by the famed Silk Road, our Torch Relay will break new ground, traveling from Olympia through some of the oldest civilizations known to man-Greek, Indian and Chinese. Carrying the message “Share the peace, Share the Olympics. “ The flame will pass through Tibet, cross the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, Travel the Great Wall and visit Taiwan and the 56 Ethnic communities who make up our society. On its journey, the flame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay.

I am afraid I cannot prevent the whole picture of our cultural programs within such a short period of time. Actually, what we have shown you here today is only a fraction of Beijing that awaits you. Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that Beijing will prove to be a land of wonders to athletes, spectators and the worldwide television audience alike. Come and join us.

Thank you. Thank you all.
我与奥运
奥运是窗口，我是守望者。
这是一扇极大的窗，被擦得明亮。透过它，看到的是世界。这里每天都在变，这里每天都有新兴事物在更替。只有我，这个忠诚的守望者，每天都在关注它，希望更多地了解它。
奥运是路口，我是行人。
每天路过这里的人很多，有亚洲人、有欧洲人，有老人、有孩子。这儿是交通要塞，连接着五湖四海的朋友。我只是路过这里的亿万人之一，穿过它，到另一个世界去。
奥运是圣地，我是志愿者。
这是片圣洁的土地，自始至终都有圣火在旁边陪伴。正因为这样，我自愿为它付出，我要尽我的力量让这片土地更加洁净，让更多人了解它，也像我一样愿意献身于它。我还要给来这里的人予以帮助，让他们享受这片圣地的快乐。
奥运是平台，我是主人。
它为我们搭起了平台，让世界了解我们；它为我们建造了桥梁，让我们与世界更好地沟通。这个平台可以让我们尽情展现自己。我是这里的主人，我为是这里的主人自豪。我要尽地主之谊，让来客感受到热情与欢乐。

　　Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of
rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a
quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of
the deep springs of life.

Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the
appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This 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 may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder,
the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of
living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless
station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and
power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you 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
青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想
象，炙热的恋情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。
岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。

无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。
一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。
