it is a great honor for me to address you today and to present the bid of sochi to host the olympic winter games in 2014.the bid has enthusiastic support of the whole of russia.we pledge to make the stay of olympians and paralimpians, spectators, journalists, guests in sochi a safe, enjoyable and memorable experience.sochi is a unique place. on the seashore you can enjoy a fine spring day. but up in the mountains its winter.i went skiing there six or seven weeks ago, and i know C real snows guaranteed.the ancient greeks lived around sochi. i also saw the rock near sochi to which as legend has it prometheus was chained. it was prometheus who gave people fire, fire which ultimately is the olympic flame.ladies and gentlemen!the city of sochi has exclusive offers: we are working on a list of special privileges for participants and guests of the games.for example we plan to lift all restrictions on the minimum stay for delegations. this will be backed up by a special law.(i have already signed a decree to this effect).and one more special privilege:no traffic jams! i promise!the recent world ice hockey championship in moscow was a big success.russia is ready to host winter olympic and paralympic games in 2014. the olympic family is going to feel at home in sochi.millions of citizens of russia are united by the olympic dream. winter sports are very popular in russia. our athletes have scored many victories and have made major contributions to the olympic movement.but we have not yet had the honor to celebrate the winter olympics.our national pledge to you is: the choice of sochi is the best choice.but whatever decision you make sochis olympic bid has already brought its benefits.the olympic cluster in sochi will be the first world class mountain sports centre in the new russia. let me point out that after the break-up of the soviet union russia has lost all sports venues in the mountains. would you believe it?even today our national teams have no mountain venues in russia for training.the state-of-the-art sochi sports center is our present to all athletes C olympians and would-be olympians, to citizens of russia and guests from abroad.(in french) the olympic dream of millions of russians awaits your decision with high hopes.i believe in our futurehonorable judges, fellow students: recently, ther is a heated debate in our society. the college students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education at extraordinary places. but will we be able to face the challenge and support ourselves against all odds? will we be able to better the lives of others? will we be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of our country?the cynics say we care for nothing other than grades; and we neglect the need for character cultivation. but again, the cynics are wrong. we care deeply for each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth. last week, thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer.as college students, we are adolescents at the critical turning point in our lives. we all face a fundamental choice: cynicism or faith, each will profoundly impact our future, or even the future of our country. i believe in all my fellow classmates. though we are still inexperienced and even a little bit childish. i believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challenge and take on our responsibilities. we are preparing to assume new responsibilities and tasks, and to use the education we have received to make our world a better place. i believe in our future. 17 change the ingredients of your lifeif kindness is added to a strange you will have a friend; but if hostility is added, you will have an enemy. if love is added to a pile of red bricks you will have a home, but if hatred is add to those bricks , you will have an concentration camp.so my dear friend, if faith, hope, love, endurance are added to your life, you will find the confidence to conquer your limitation and embrace new challenges. and hopefully with my speech included, you will have a fantastic speech contest.100D kipling said:Deast is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet! but now, a century later, they have met.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 dont 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!:! :! farewell, indifferencewho was the most well-known figure in china last month? its ma jiajuethe college student who murdered 4 of his roommates. many people attributed his crime to his poverty and deficient education. in my opinion, his crime also has much to do with his classmates indifference.indifference is a terrible disease in todays colleges and the whole society. its not rare that two students who have studied together for 4 years have never spoken to each other. its not rare that a student who has been absent from class for several days is not noticed at all. its also not rare that a student who has severe psychological problems is not cared about at all.some people may say ?what the students with psychological problems like ma jiajue need is not care but psychotherapy. however, when people are ill, what they need most is not only medical treatment, but also care from people around them. every smile and every caring word will bring sunshine to their life.what can we do to prevent the tragedy of ma jiajue from happening again? some people may say ?lets open more psychological courses in schools. and other people may say ?lets donate more money for the poor students. but ill say Dmy fellow student, lets give more love and care to our roommates, our classmates and every person around us!? 414 i am tripping my elephant hereonce upon a time, a weenie ant was walking on his way. as he was walking, suddenly he felt the ground shaking terribly. he looked around with his paranoid eyes and saw an elephant walking right behind him. quickly, the little ant covered himself with dirt, but one leg was unfortunately left out. a sparrow saw everything, so she flew down with the purpose of teasing the ant: Dhey, chicken! watch out your leg, its out! the ant felt embarrassed at first but then calmly responded: D shii am going to trip that elephant.from all that ive been through ive learned that a good future is based on a forgotten past, if i want my life to go on well i have to let go of my past failure. so today, with out fear, i am tripping my elephant again.2016_2016_2016202220162022,2022future is nowwhat is future?every time i look at the stars in the sky,i ask myself.its realy a hard question to answer it.the universe is boundless,we dont know where are we from and where shall we go.i stand there,at sea.when a fortune-teller look at your palm,shell tell you how your future will be like.thats a way you place your hope on.but its not realistic.the future is the things and people around you.what you should do is to try to do everything well,dont care much about the results.be kind to all the people around you,and love them.although the world is not full of love,the life is not a bed of rose,you should sdick on your belief.when time passes,youll find everything you do is worthwhile.years is glorious.because no way you can stop time from elasping.how time flies!just like the flowers in spring,the sunshine in summer,the moon in mid-autumn and the snow in winter.maybe one morning youll never wake up,youll never see the sunrise or the sunset;youll never see your sweatheart or talk to her,youll never hear the sound of the nature or wander on the path among the trees,youll never swim in the lake or climb the mountains.time is gold.every minute is precious.we should make best use of it.dont waste even one minute.spend time in working,in laughing,in playing games and in loving.each of us has a kite flying in the sky,and we also have a string each.childrens kite is childhood,the string is grown.lovers kite is love,the string is daily life.i have a kite,it is called dream,the string in my hands is reality.the wind which makes kites fly is future.kites are not free,but we still have power to control them and let them fly higher and higher.the string is in my hands,future is now in my hands.future is now,forget the fortune-teller,clench your fists!good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen!today id like to share my personal experience of happiness and bitterness of being an english teacher.i remember, five years ago, when i stood at the teachers desk for the first time, maybe because i was too young, maybe because i was too inexperienced, the students in my class paid no attention to me, didnt behave themselves at all. i felt ashamed and helpless. in order to save my face, i just criticized the students seriously whenever they talked in class or even moved a little. i thought sooner or later, they would listen to me. yes, i could control the class now, but the students and the atmosphere became strange. no, they were not listening to me. it was too quiet. the breathless silence urged me to consider the way i was teaching.then 1 august 2003, i got the chance to study the new course of english. until then could i realized that it was my frozen eyes that make the students flinch, it was my stiff face that trod out the enthusiasm in the childrens hearts. how to stimulate my class and show my warmth, so that they can enjoy their study in english? i had a deep thought.its smile. there is a kindness called smile. it is the most beautiful language in the world. it can make distance no distance. just awake the students with a smiling face!i said to myself.the next day, when i stood on the stage with a smiling face, when i asked the questions with a smile, when i encouraged the children in a friendly way, the students were just shocked! but i could find there was more happiness and excitement in their eyes! gradually,they got used to it, and participated in my teaching. as i predicted, that class became a lovely one. i was moved, and saidthank you for listening, boys and girls!in the following days, i keep on working even harder. i prepare my lessons carefully. i use flash, pictures, riddles, and interesting stories to make great efforts to help the students to learn more. but i will never forget one thing: smile, give them a smile, to give them strength, to let them feel happy, to make them confident. the children do enjoy the english lesson now, when they tell me the answers in great excitement, i can feel their gladness, and my smile is more sincerely than ever!there is kindness called smile. from the childrens yearning eyes, i understand, it is smile that makes my students and i get closer, it is smile that fills the kindness to my english class, it is smile that shapes me popular english teacher finally.thats all. thank you very much!a speech on the partymy fellow soldiers and students,to end my speech, i would like to suggest a warm applause to the teachers and students on the stage. may the applause resemble the magnificent results of the cooperative establishment between us. may the applause bring happiness fruit of the cooperative establishment between us. at the same time may the teachers and students make greater progress in teaching and learning! and happy new year to all of you! thank you all!
