People always want to learn from successful people and want to be one of them. So listening to the speech is the best way to learn from these great people and see how they get the great achievements. The famous celebrities like Bill Gate and Steve Jobs, they created the fashion and even changed the world. The common thing is that they never graduated from university, then they quit school as they studied for a while. So many young people wonder if they should follow their steps, just quit study and do what they want. The difference between these great men and normal people is thought. Even Bill Gates quit school, he still kept thinking and searching, while normal people just lie in the bed and play computer games. Everyone has different ways to get the achievement, so we need to think what is suitable for us instead of following the trend.
人们总是想向成功人士学习，他们想成为其中一员。所以听演讲是向这些成功人士取经的最好方式，看看他们是如何获得这些成就的。比如比尔盖茨和史蒂夫乔布斯这样的名人，他们创造了时尚，甚至改变了世界。他们的共同点是，他们都没有从大学毕业过，都是去了一段时间就退学了。很多年轻人就在想他们是不是也应该追随他们的步伐，放弃学习和做自己想做的事。这些伟人和普通人的区别在于思考。即使比尔盖茨退学了，他还在不断的思考和探索，而普通人只是躺在床上，玩电脑游戏。每个人都有不同的方式去获得成功，所以我们需要考虑什么是适合我们的，而不是随波逐流。
The Speech About Environmental Protection
Ladies and gentlemen,
女士们和先生们，
I feel it a great honor to have a chance to give a speech here, talking about the haze weather, which causes lots of bad effects on our health and life. We breathe polluted air, making us suffer from lung and liver diseases. Besides, because of it, the flights have to be canceled. All kind of transports may run into each other, resulting in much damages and lots of injuries.
我很荣幸能有机会在这里做演讲，和大家谈谈这给我们健康和生活带来不好影响的灰霾天气。我们呼吸这被污染过的空气，让我们遭受肺、肝疾病。另外，由于这天气，航班被迫取消。各种交通工具相撞在一起，造成很大的毁灭和伤害。
As far as I am concerned, it is high time that we did something. As individuals, we should ride the underground or buses instead of cars to reduce carbon dioxide. As government, more measures should be taken by carrying out the related law on pollution.
我觉得是时候我们该做些什么了。我们应该乘坐地铁或公共汽车而不是汽车来减少二氧化碳。政府应该实施更多针对污染的相关法律的。
In summary, we're all looking forward to breathe fresher air and live a happier life. Everyone should be a part of this job.
总之，我们都盼望着能呼吸到更新鲜的空气，过着更快乐的生活。每个人都应该参与进来。
Thank you for your listening.
谢谢大家的聆听。
Dear friends,
As we all know, we are what we eat. Therefore, it's very important for us to form healthy eating habits. However, bad eating habits are still very common among us students. Some of us often go to school without breakfast; some like to have snacks; some others are particular about food; and still some eat or drink too much. All these bad habits will surely do harm to our health.
To keep fit, we should have various healthy diets, which generally include proper amounts of fish, meat, vegetables, fruit as well as main food. Besides, we'd better have meals regularly.
In my opinion, we should try to develop healthy eating habits to build up a strong body. Only in this way can we have enough energy to study better.
That's all. Thank you!
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Some of us are having problems with our parents, as they often look into our school bags or read our diaries. I fully understand why we are not comfortable about it, but there's no need to feel too sad. Our parents are checking our bags or diaries to make sure we're not getting into any trouble. They have probably heard some horrible stories about other kids and thought we might do the same. Or perhaps they just want to connect with us but are doing it all wrong. My suggestion is: Tell them we want them to trust us as much as we'd like to trust them. If you don't think you can talk to them, write them a letter and leave it lying around-they are bound to read it.
Thank you!
