第二篇:演讲稿Money Is Not Everything
Money Is Not Everything
Good evening!Dear teachers and classmates, I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech.My topic is Money is not everything.Needless to say, money is not very important, but very very important.If there is no money, I can’t use this microphone to speak to you and we can’t have such a room to hold such a competition.Without money, we can’t study in such a schoolyard.Without money, we can’t live in such a hometown.Without money, we can’t have such a motherland.On the other hand, If there is no money, you don’t need to bear my speech about money now.Most of us have dreams about the future, dreams of having a good job and making much money.Surely someone has thought at times “If only I had a lot of money, I could be the happiest person in the world.” In fact it’s the main mistake that people make about money.However, is money the road to happiness? Not really!Many people work every day, work overtime, work weekends to make a lot of money.Are they happy? No.They are too busy making money.Meanwhile, They have no time to form or to maintain friendship.They even lose the abilities to relax and to enjoy themselves.Enjoying means taking things, taking time to see, to hear, to taste, to smell, to feel.They do not take time to do this.They say: “I’ll do it when I have enough money to retire” then they find that it is too late.Why we usually make such a mistake and even more mistakes? Activists say it is because of money itself.They think money has changed many things.They even regard money as the source of evil.In my opinion, it is unfair to money.Money is a tool.Well, there’s no denying that we do something harmful with money.But we can’t say money is the source of evil.Money is neither good nor bad itself.It is a mirror, a perfect and important mirror, and a mirror that reflects both the darkness and the brilliance of humanity.In other words, all depend on us.So, my fellow students, ladies and gentlemen,Money is something,but money is not everything!
Thank you!

第四篇:口语考试-money
MONEY
A: Some people say that money is the most important thing in this world.What do you think about it?
B: Yes, I agree with you.But I am till thinking about one thing that is happening everyday on everybody.Is there anyone can live on the earth without money? The answer of course is NO!
C:Well, I don't think so.There is more important thing than money for us, such as health and happiness ,isn't it?
A: Money is regarded by some people as the most importent thing in life.It is even regarded as the symbol of wealth and social position.For example, with plenty of money a man can do whatever he wants to.He can afford expensive cars and luxurious houses, and he can travel around the world and visit as many interesting places as he wants to.In their eyes, money is everything in life.B: In my opinion, money can benefit people.we can't deny that money is useful.We need money to buy food, buy a house or pay our education cost.C: I don’t agree with you, some people try to get money by dishonest means, for example, they often cheat and gemble, even rob and kill people.Sooner or later, they will be punished by the law.Money can bring them nothing but misery.A: You know, money can not buy everything, For instance, no matter how much money one hast he can not buy good health, happiness or friendship, Although money is useful in many ways, there are still a lot of things that money can't buy in the world.B: No, It can not do everything,but if you have no money you cannot do anything.Money can make us live more comfortably.For example, with more money, we can help others and take part in more social activities and receive a good education, thus increasing our knowledge and developing our skills.C: But money can also do harm to us.If a person really thinks of money as everything and pays his attention only to money, he will lose his friends, or even the care and warmth from his family.Thus, it brings him only loneliness.A: Hmmm,anyway,money is needed everyday for living.Such as food, clothes, tuition fees and so on.But we should have a right attitute to money,right? Never trace money blindly.C:yeah, you are right.
第五篇:校园说法
一字之差的差别
2012年3月,某大学一女生在学校看到一婚纱摄影店在促销艺术照的拍摄,因为觉得价格比较合理,又恰巧看中了一件白色小礼服。该女生便与这婚纱摄影店签订一份预订于2012年4月19号到该摄影店拍艺术照的合同,并为此支付了100元。可是由于突发状况,4月19日那天,该女生未能到那家店拍成艺术照,所以该女生想要回已经支付的100元。但是该婚纱摄影店认为,双方已经签订合同,而且是该女生违约在先,并且这100元是“定金”,而不是“订金”,因此他们没有义务返回这100元。该女生则认为这里的100元只是预付款,并且双方签订合同时,该婚纱店并没有说明“定金”与“订金”的区别,最后也没有拍摄成功,婚纱店就有责任退还这100元。双方各执一词,争论不休。
(拍案说法)此案中,因为一字之差,导致双方争论不休,婚纱店认为这100元是“定金”,而该女生则认为是“订金”,那这两者之间有什么不同呢?“定金”在法律上有比较严格的界定。我国定金在《担保法》上是债的一种担保方式,在《合同法》上是承担违约责任形式之一,其基本法律性质是违约定金,并具有担保合同履行的性质。“定金”的作用有两种情形:
1、合同正常履行时,定金充作价款或由交付方收回;
2、合同不履行时,适用定金罚则:即交付方违约的,无权收回;接受方违约的,应双倍返还。《中华人民共和国合同法》第一百一十五条规定,给付定金的一方不履行约定的义务的,无权要求返还定金;收受定金的一方不履行约定的义务的,应当双倍返还定金。而“订金” 在法律上并没有严格的界定,从文字的理解上来说,“订”的含义是订立、预订之意,实际上它具有预付款的性质,是当事人的一种支付手段,并不具备担保性质。在市场交易中,如买家不履行合同义务,并不表示他丧失了请求返还订金的权利;反之,若发展商不履行义务亦不须双倍返还订金,因此如果在此案中确认是“订金”,那么该婚纱店就有义务返还这100元。既然已经区分了“订金”与“定金”,那为什么还存在分歧,我们又如何判别是“订金”还是“定金”呢?在现实交易中,应该根据付款时商家开据的发票,认清是“定”还是“订”,另外就此案来说,根据我国《担保法》91条的规定: 定金的数额由当事人约定,但不得超过主合同标准额的20%。当事人一旦以书面形式对定金作了约定并实际支付了定金,即产生相应的法律后果。由于该女生拿到的发票是“定金”而非“订金”,因此婚纱店不必返还这100元,但是由于整个拍摄只有400元,而100元已经超过主合同标准额的20%,所以婚纱店要返还超过的那部分,即20元。
因此,在我们购买商品或者接受服务前,特别是各种校园里的促销活动,一定要看清交纳的款项究竟是“定金”还是“订金”,特别是数额较大的,一定要认真考虑清楚以后再决定。更不要一时兴起过后再后悔,这样有可能产生不必要的麻烦。
