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. /chuzhong/chusan/ 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.

the environment of the world has been damaged by the human beings for so many years without much notice.in recent years,however,more and more nations have begun to preserve the environment as they have realized the importance of it.

the nature has given us so much,but look at what we have done in return for its generosity.thousands upon thousands of trees have been cut down,including some precious species. numerous rivers and lakes have been drained only to set up modern buildings. priceless wildlife has turned into delicious dishes on the table.the air is being befouled by the smoke from the chimneys of the plants...

all this irritates the nature ,which results in the shortage of valuable resources,air pollution,countless acres of lands becoming deserts,etc.fortunately,many countries have got to know the seriousness of the problem and take active measures to preserve the environment.we sincerely hope that all the peo;le in the world willtake part in the campaign and join hands to protect the nature.

the east and the west, let’s enjoy the combination of the two cultures?

kipling said:“east is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet!” but now, a century later, they have met.

they have met in business. they have met in education. they have met in the arts. some people will argue that these meetings will leave us with a choice between east and west, but i believe that the best future lies in the creative combination of both worlds. we can make western ideas, customs and technology our own, and adapt them to our own use. we can enjoy the best of both worlds, because our tradition is, above all, one of selecting the best and making it our own.

i love beijing and hennan opera because it always reminds me of who i am. but i am also a fan of pop music, especially english songs. so i have combined eastern melody with western language. it is called western henna opera.

when two cultures meet, there may be things in one culture, which do not fit into the tradition of the other. when this happens, we need to learn to understand and respect the customs of another culture. then there are certain things some people may not like. to this, i will say, if you do not like it, please try to tolerate it. to learn to tolerate what you personally don’t like is a great virtue at a time when different cultures mix and merge. before us, there are two rivers, eastern and western cultures. at present, they may run in different courses. but eventually, they will converge into the vast sea of human culture.

right now, i can see peoples of eastern and western cultures, standing side by side, singing the olympic theme song: we are hand in hand, heart to heart, together we will shape a beautiful tomorrow! thank you!

hello, everyone. today, my topic is" reform and opening- up: a personal perspective". reform and opening-up policy has been carried out insistently for forty years ever since it was put forward in 1978. the policy is so revolutionary that it not only leads to china's quick rise in the past forty years, but also affects our lives in every possible aspect. today i'd like to talk about three positive effects this policy has on us college students.

first of all, the policy guides us to open our eyes and see the world in a different way. it has reformed and rewritten our cognition of the world completely. thanks to the policy, the internet now plays an important role in our daily life. by learning about what's happening throughout the world, we broaden our horizons and enrich our knowledge. the collision of thoughts via the internet gradually changes our thinking patterns and our world view so that we are more open and more willing to embrace new things.

besides, since 1999, colleges in china has been expanding enrollment plan, providing plenty opportunities for millions of students to receive advanced education, which satisfies the needs for higher education and promotes educational equality. in the same time, the living standards and teaching facilities of campus have been dramatically promoted. the academic level of teachers and professors in college has improved a lot. as a result, colleges in china nowadays create a better academic atmosphere for students. china also laid much emphasis on overseas study. since the policy was in effect，china has dispatched abroad a large number of exchange students to study advanced technologies and acquire innovative ideas. when they finished studying, they come back home and apply what they have learnt to practice. this contributes a lot to china's modernization.

last but not least, the economic growth resulting from the policy has offered more working chances for graduates. many innovative enterprises like huawei, tencent and so on sprung up in the past forty years, instilling energy into the job market. the policy has also given graduates the freedom to choose their own career path so that they can hunt for their ideal jobs and pursue their own dreams.

in conclusion the reform and opening up policy has a great influence upon lives of college students and the educational system. i believe in the foreseeable future; the policy will continue to improve our lives and contribute to the prosperity of our nation.

and see no end to the landscape, new objects presenting themselves as we advance; so, in the commencement of life, we set no bounds to our inclinations. nor to the unrestricted opportunities of gratifying them. we have as yet found no obstacle, no disposition to flag; and it seems that we can go on so forever. we look round in a new world, full of life, and motion, and ceaseleprogress; and feel in ourselves all the vigor and spirit to keep pace with it, and do not foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural course of things, decline into old age, and drop into the grave. it is the simplicity, and as it were abstractedneof our feelings in youth, that (so to speak) identifies us with nature, and (our experience being slight and our passions strong) deludes us into a belief of being immortal like it. our short-lives connection with existence we fondly flatter ourselves, is an indissoluble and lasting union-a honeymoon that knows neither coldness, jar, nor separation. as infants smile and sleep, we are rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies, and lulled into security by the roar of the universe around us0we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the more-objects prearound us, filling the mind with their magnitude and with the strong of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.

finally, she figured out the problem was actually her cup.she simplyforgot to clean it, and after awhile started to affect the water inside it.shecleaned her cup, and drank the water with no problem.

i can't help but think about the world we live in.too often we quicklyblame other people, other things, anything else but ourselves."you're racist"."you're intolerant"."you're the problem".the world isn't perfect, i know, buti think we should take a step back sometimes and ask ourselves some toughquestions.

i want to tell you this; please clean your cup.because when you do, thewater will taste much better.i promise you this.
