Hi everyone ,it is my honor to be here and make a speech here.To start my speech, I'd wanna tell an episode of mine.The other day, there was an activity in honor of Leifeng--a hero we have have been talking about for several decades.We needed to find someone in our dormitory to make a speech in front of our classmates.This kind of activity is very familiar for every single Chinese student, you know, we have been told about his stories over and over again.So we are just bored to talk this kind of stuff.So every one just started to task their mind to find some excuse to get rid of this boring situation.And of course that “everyone” includes me.So i was confused, is it a way to learn from a hero? We talk about their stories, make some freaky songs and sing that every day? What we should learn must be something real,something we can really need in our real life.So the frist time i gor this topic, i thought “really ? Again? You must be kidding me!” so i tried my best to avoid from unhonest praises.Back to the topic!As you know,our main topic today is

As modorn society is bringing so much strees to people who want to just make a living, more and more people chosed to have less stress than high salery, glamorous life style and sometimes, fame.So, why do people want to have less stressed life?

Of course, there maybe other reason for people getting away from stress, and i guess i don't have make a list of it.Because, each of you here may raise yourself the question: why do i want to have a less stressed life? And different version of the answer will just pop out your mind!

I feel so happy to have the chance to make a speech.The title of my speech is Protect the Environment, Protect Ourselves.I hope you will like it.今天能有机会给大家做这个演讲我感到非常荣幸。我演讲的题目是保护环境就是保护我们自身，希望大家喜欢。
Everybody knows waste paper and used coke cans are discarded everywhere.You might have seen plastic bags flying in the sky and getting caught in the trees when the wind blows or maybe you have seen old cans floating in the rivers and polluting the water.Our environment is the place in which we live, but it is being ruined by us.大家都能看见废纸，可乐瓶丢得到处都是；也可能看到过塑料袋满天飞，当风停的时候就挂在树上；易拉罐在河里顺流而下污染水源。我们大家赖以生存的环境，却被我们亲手破坏了。There is a story about house and trees.It is said that a man’s house was
surrounded by a lot of trees.Though the wind was strong, that man could have a good rest under the trees.How comfortable the life was!One day, that man wanted to enlarge his house, so he cut down all the trees.Then the autumn came without the protection.The strong wind blew the roof of the house into the sky.The whole house was gone with the wind.What a pity!But that’s the price people have to pay for destroying in the ecology balance.People shouldn’t be short-sighted.Protecting the environment is everyone’s task.有一个关于房子和树的故事。讲的是一个人住在树林围绕的房子中，尽管风很大，这个人还是可以在树下安然而坐。这是多么惬意的生活啊！可是有一天，他想扩建他的房屋，所以他把所有的树都砍掉了。然而，秋天就在这时候来了，因为房子没有任何的保护，狂风把房顶吹上了天空，整个房子黯然消逝在狂风中。这又是多么遗憾的一件事啊！但是，这就是破坏生态平衡的人所要付出的代价。人类不应该目光短浅，保护环境人人有责。
As you know, there are four kinds of pollution.They are air pollution, water pollution, waste pollution and noise pollution.But what can we do to solve the pollution? I think, firstly, we can make cars that don’t pollute the environment.We can ask companies to use modern clean technology.In some big cities, we can limit the number of cars.Secondly, we can try to use less water and make sure that we do not pollute the water.We can tell factories that they are not allowed to pour waste water into the lakes and rivers.Thirdly, we should not throw rubbish in parks and cities.We can pick up rubbish if we see it.We can put more rubbish bins in our parks and cities.Fourthly, we can live far from the noise and make the laws to limit the noise.大家都知道，有四种污染：空气污染、水污染、废弃物污染、噪音污染。但是，我们要怎么做才能避免这些污染呢?
我认为，首先，我们可以让汽车不再污染环境。我们可以让现代的公司使用清洁能源。在大城市，可以限制汽车数量。
第二，我们可以尝试节约用水，并且确保不污染水源。告知工厂，不能将废水直接倾倒在河流和湖泊。
第三，我们不应该随便乱扔垃圾，看见随地乱扔的垃圾的时候，随手捡起来；并且在我们的城市和公园绿地增设更多的垃圾箱。
第四，我们可以立法，设置最小噪音，从而让我们远离噪音。

英文演讲：Barry Goldwater: 1964 Republican National Convention Address【英语演讲稿】
2011-07-14 14:46:43 来源：互联网
My good friend and great Republican, Dick Nixon, and your charming wife, Pat;my running mate, that wonderful Republican who has served us so well for so long, Bill Miller and his wife, Stephanie;to Thurston Morton who's done such a commendable job in chairmaning this Convention;to Mr.Herbert Hoover, who I hope is watching;and to that--that great American and his wife, General and Mrs.Eisenhower;to my own wife, my family, and to all of my fellow Republicans here assembled, and Americans across this great Nation.From this moment, united and determined, we will go forward together, dedicated to the ultimate and undeniable greatness of the whole man.Together--Together we will win.I accept your nomination with a deep sense of humility.I accept, too, the responsibility that goes with it, and I seek your continued help and your continued guidance.My fellow Republicans, our cause is too great for any man to feel worthy of it.Our task would be too great for any man, did he not have with him the hearts and the hands of this great Republican Party, and I promise you tonight that every fiber of my being is consecrated to our cause;that nothing shall be lacking from the struggle that can be brought to it by enthusiasm, by devotion, and plain hard work.In this world no person, no Party can guarantee anything, but what we can do and what we shall do is to deserve victory, and victory will be ours.The good Lord raised this mighty Republic to be a home for the brave and to flourish as the land of the free--not to stagnate in the swampland of collectivism, not to cringe before the bullying of communism.Now, my fellow Americans, the tide has been running against freedom.Our people have followed false prophets.We must, and we shall, return to proven ways--not because they are old, but because they are true.We must, and we shall, set the tides running again in the cause of freedom.And this party, with its every action, every word, every breath, and every heartbeat, has but a single resolve, and that is freedom--freedom made orderly for this Nation by our constitutional government;freedom under a government limited by the laws of nature and of nature's God;freedom balanced so that order lacking liberty [sic] will not become the slavery of the prison shell [cell];balanced so that liberty lacking order will not become the license of the mob and of the jungle.Now, we Americans understand freedom.We have earned it;we have lived for it, and we have died for it.This Nation and its people are freedom's model in a searching world.We can be freedom's missionaries in a doubting world.But, ladies and gentlemen, first we must renew freedom's mission in our own hearts and in our own homes.During four futile years, the administration which we shall replace has--has distorted and lost that vision.It has talked and talked and talked and talked the words of freedom, but it has failed and failed and failed in the works of freedom.Now, failures cements the wall of shame in Berlin.Failures blot the sands of shame at the Bay of Pigs.Failures mark the slow death of freedom in Laos.Failures infest the jungles of Vietnam.And failures haunt the houses of our once great alliances and undermine the greatest bulwark ever erected by free nations--the NATO community.Failures proclaim lost leadership, obscure purpose, weakening will, and the risk of inciting our sworn enemies to new aggressions and to new excesses.And because of this administration we are tonight a world divided;we are a Nation becalmed.We have lost the brisk pace of diversity and the genius of individual creativity.We are plodding along at a pace set by centralized planning, red tape, rules without responsibility, and regimentation without recourse.Rather than useful jobs in our country, our people have been offered bureaucratic “make work”;rather than moral leadership, they have been given bread and circuses.They have been given spectacles, and, yes, they've even been given scandals.Tonight, there is violence in our streets, corruption in our highest offices, aimlessness amongst our youth, anxiety among our elders, and there's a virtual despair among the many who look beyond material success for the inner meaning of their lives.And where examples of morality should be set, the opposite is seen.Small men, seeking great wealth or power, have too often and too long turned even the highest levels of public service into mere personal opportunity.Now, certainly, simple honesty is not too much to demand of men in government.We find it in most.Republicans demand it from everyone.They demand it from everyone no matter how exalted or protected his position might be.Now the--the growing menace in our country tonight, to personal safety, to life, to limb and property, in homes, in churches, on the playgrounds, and places of business, particularly in our great cities, is the mounting concern, or should be, of every thoughtful citizen in the United States.Security from domestic violence, no less than from foreign aggression, is the most elementary and fundamental purpose of any government, and a government that cannot fulfill this purpose is one that cannot long command the loyalty of its citizens.History shows us--it demonstrates that nothing, nothing prepares the way for tyranny more than the failure of public officials to keep the streets safe from bullies and marauders.Now, we Republicans see all this as more, much more, than the result of mere political differences or mere political mistakes.We see this as the result of a fundamentally and absolutely wrong view of man, his nature, and his destiny.Those who seek to live your lives for you, to take your liberties in return for relieving you of yours, those who elevate the state and downgrade the citizen must see ultimately a world in which earthly power can be substituted for Divine Will, and this Nation was founded upon the rejection of that notion and upon the acceptance of God as the author of freedom.Now those who seek absolute power, even though they seek it to do what they regard as good, are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version of heaven on earth.They--and let me remind you, they are the very ones who always create the most hellish tyrannies.Absolute power does corrupt, and those who seek it must be suspect and must be opposed.Their mistaken course stems from false notions, ladies and gentlemen, of equality.Equality, rightly understood, as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences.Wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism.Fellow Republicans, it is the cause of Republicanism to resist concentrations of power, private or public, which--which enforce such conformity and inflict such despotism.It is the cause of Republicanism to ensure that power remains in the hands of the people.And, so help us God, that is exactly what a Republican President will do with the help of a Republican Congress.It is further the cause of Republicanism to restore a clear understanding of the tyranny of man over man in the world at large.It is our cause to dispel the foggy thinking which avoids hard decisions in the delusion that a world of conflict will somehow mysteriously resolve itself into a world of harmony, if we just don't rock the boat or irritate the forces of aggression--and this is hogwash.It is further the cause of Republicanism to remind ourselves, and the world, that only the strong can remain free, that only the strong can keep the peace.Now, I needn't remind you, or my fellow Americans regardless of party, that Republicans have shouldered this hard responsibility and marched in this cause before.It was Republican leadership under Dwight Eisenhower that kept the peace, and passed along to this administration the mightiest arsenal for defense the world has ever known.And I needn't remind you that it was the strength and the [un]believable will of the Eisenhower years that kept the peace by using our strength, by using it in the Formosa Straits and in Lebanon and by showing it courageously at all times.It was during those Republican years that the thrust of Communist imperialism was blunted.It was during those years of Republican leadership that this world moved closer, not to war, but closer to peace, than at any other time in the last three decades.And I needn't remind you--but I will--that it's been during Democratic years that our strength to deter war has stood still, and even gone into a planned decline.It has been during Democratic years that we have weakly stumbled into conflict, timidly refusing to draw our own lines against aggression, deceitfully refusing to tell even our people of our full participation, and tragically, letting our finest men die on battlefields, unmarked by purpose, unmarked by pride or the prospect of victory.Yesterday, it was Korea.Tonight, it is Vietnam.Make no bones of this.Don't try to sweep this under the rug.We are at war in Vietnam.And yet the President, who is the Commander-in-Chief of our forces, refuses to say--refuses to say, mind you, whether or not the objective over there is victory.And his Secretary of Defense continues to mislead and misinform the American people, and enough of it has gone by.And I needn't remind you--but I will--it has been during Democratic years that a billion persons were cast into Communist captivity and their fate cynically sealed.Today--Today in our beloved country we have an administration which seems eager to deal with communism in every coin known--from gold to wheat, from consulates to confidences, and even human freedom itself.Now the Republican cause demands that we brand communism as the principal disturber of peace in the world today.Indeed, we should brand it as the only significant disturber of the peace, and we must make clear that until its goals of conquest are absolutely renounced and its relations with all nations tempered, communism and the governments it now controls are enemies of every man on earth who is or wants to be free.Now, we here in America can keep the peace only if we remain vigilant and only if we remain strong.Only if we keep our eyes open and keep our guard up can we prevent war.And I want to make this abundantly clear: I don't intend to let peace or freedom be torn from our grasp because of lack of strength or lack of will--and that I promise you, Americans.I believe that we must look beyond the defense of freedom today to its extension tomorrow.I believe that the communism which boasts it will bury us will, instead, give way to the forces of freedom.And I can see in the distant and yet recognizable future the outlines of a world worthy of our dedication, our every risk, our every effort, our every sacrifice along the way.Yes, a world that will redeem the suffering of those who will be liberated from tyranny.I can see--and I suggest that all thoughtful men must contemplate--the flowering of an Atlantic civilization, the whole of Europe reunified and freed, trading openly across its borders, communicating openly across the world.Now, this is a goal far, far more meaningful than a moon shot.It's a--It's a truly inspiring goal for all free men to set for themselves during the latter half of the twentieth century.I can also see--and all free men must thrill to--the events of this Atlantic civilization joined by its great ocean highway to the United States.What a destiny!What a destiny can be ours to stand as a great central pillar linking Europe, the Americas, and the venerable and vital peoples and cultures of the Pacific.I can see a day when all the Americas, North and South, will be linked in a mighty system, a system in which the errors and misunderstandings of the past will be submerged one by one in a rising tide of prosperity and interdependence.We know that the misunderstandings of centuries are not to be wiped away in a day or wiped away in an hour.But we pledge, we pledge that human sympathy--what our neighbors to the South call an attitude of “simpatico”--no less than enlightened self'-interest will be our guide.And I can see this Atlantic civilization galvanizing and guiding emergent nations everywhere.Now I know this freedom is not the fruit of every soil.I know that our own freedom was achieved through centuries, by unremitting efforts of brave and wise men.And I know that the road to freedom is a long and a challenging road.And I know also that some men may walk away from it, that some men resist challenge, accepting the false security of governmental paternalism.And I--And I pledge that the America I envision in the years ahead will extend its hand in health, in teaching and in cultivation, so that all new nations will be at least encouraged--encouraged!--to go our way, so that they will not wander down the dark alleys of tyranny or the dead-end streets of collectivism.My fellow Republicans, we do no man a service by hiding freedom's light under a bushel of mistaken humility.I seek an America proud of its past, proud of its ways, proud of its dreams, and determined actively to proclaim them.But our example to the world must, like charity, begin at home.In our vision of a good and decent future, free and peaceful, there must be room, room for deliberation of the energy and the talent of the individual;otherwise our vision is blind at the outset.We must assure a society here which, while never abandoning the needy or forsaking the helpless, nurtures incentives and opportunities for the creative and the productive.We must know the whole good is the product of many single contributions.And I cherish a day when our children once again will restore as heroes the sort of men and women who, unafraid and undaunted, pursue the truth, strive to cure disease, subdue and make fruitful our natural environment and produce the inventive engines of production, science, and technology.This Nation, whose creative people have enhanced this entire span of history, should again thrive upon the greatness of all those things which we, we as individual citizens, can and should do.And during Republican years, this again will be a nation of men and women, of families proud of their role, jealous of their responsibilities, unlimited in their aspirations--a Nation where all who can will be self-reliant.We Republicans see in our constitutional form of government the great framework which assures the orderly but dynamic fulfillment of the whole man, and we see the whole man as the great reason for instituting orderly government in the first place.We see--We see in private property and in economy based upon and fostering private property, the one way to make government a durable ally of the whole man, rather than his determined enemy.We see in the sanctity of private property the only durable foundation for constitutional government in a free society.And--And beyond that, we see, in cherished diversity of ways, diversity of thoughts, of motives and accomplishments.We don't seek to lead anyone's life for him.We only seek--only seek to secure his rights, guarantee him opportunity--guarantee him opportunity to strive, with government performing only those needed and constitutionally sanctioned tasks which cannot otherwise be performed.We Republicans seek a government that attends to its inherent responsibilities of maintaining a stable monetary and fiscal climate, encouraging a free and a competitive economy and enforcing law and order.Thus, do we seek inventiveness, diversity, and creative difference within a stable order, for we Republicans define government's role where needed at many, many levels--preferably, though, the one closest to the people involved.Our towns and our cities, then our counties, then our states, then our regional compacts--and only then, the national government.That, let me remind you, is the ladder of liberty, built by decentralized power.On it also we must have balance between the branches of government at every level.Balance, diversity, creative difference: These are the elements of the Republican equation.Republicans agree--Republicans agree heartily to disagree on many, many of their applications, but we have never disagreed on the basic fundamental issues of why you and I are Republicans.This is a Party.This Republican Party is a Party for free men, not for blind followers, and not for conformists.In fact, in 1858 Abraham Lincoln said this of the Republican party--and I quote him, because he probably could have said it during the last week or so: “It was composed of strange, discordant, and even hostile elements”--end of the quote--in 1858.Yet--Yet all of these elements agreed on one paramount objective: To arrest the progress of slavery, and place it in the course of ultimate extinction.Today, as then, but more urgently and more broadly than then, the task of preserving and enlarging freedom at home and of safeguarding it from the forces of tyranny abroad is great enough to challenge all our resources and to require all our strength.Anyone who joins us in all sincerity, we welcome.Those who do not care for our cause, we don't expect to enter our ranks in any case.And--And let our Republicanism, so focused and so dedicated, not be made fuzzy and futile by unthinking and stupid labels.I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.(Thank you.Thank you.Thank you.Thank you.Thank you.)And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.Why the beauty of the very system we Republicans are pledged to restore and revitalize, the beauty of this Federal system of ours is in its reconciliation of diversity with unity.We must not see malice in honest differences of opinion, and no matter how great, so long as they are not inconsistent with the pledges we have given to each other in and through our Constitution.Our Republican cause is not to level out the world or make its people conform in computer regimented sameness.Our Republican cause is to free our people and light the way for liberty throughout the world.Ours is a very human cause for very humane goals.This Party, its good people, and its unquenchable devotion to freedom, will not fulfill the purposes of this campaign, which we launch here and now, until our cause has won the day, inspired the world, and shown the way to a tomorrow worthy of all our yesteryears.I repeat, I accept your nomination with humbleness, with pride, and you and I are going to fight for the goodness of our land
