when you're leaving the hotel will you look into a mirror and adjust your clothes in front of it. but if it were a black mirror what could we get? with technology developing at a rocket speed, the black mirror is everywhere, on the screens of our cellphones, our computers and our televisions. in our daily life, we are always facing black mirrors. however, we can hardly see ourselves in it. perhaps sometimes we can, but only as a colourless face. technology has brought great convenience of communication for information but at the same time, it has webbed our thought.

several years ago, an article named “is google making us stupid” got quite popular on the internet. at that time, i thought it was just alarmism but now i find it much worse because technology is not just making us stupid but also weakening our independent thought. about half year ago, i was invited to judge a debate competition. when i arrived at the competition room, i noticed it was an old and classic topic, so i was expecting those players to give me some new and special ideas. unfortunately, when the game continued, i found all the viewpoints and examples they used were totally the same as the previous competition. the only fun during the competition was to predict what they would say. as far as i was concerned, they were not making a debate but replaying a video. obviously, they just spoke for the black mirror.

debate was born as an area that we use our own thought to defend our opinion. however due to high technology, all these "my opinion is" in the competition are actually "the opinion i have found is". that is , really, a tragedy because all human dignity lies in thought which has been weakened by convenient technology.

truth to be told, debate is not the only example. in every field, we can get whatever information or opinions we want from the almighty black mirror. as a consequence, how to restructure human thought has become not only important but also necessary in today's technologically advanced world. and the answer is humanism which stands for human independent special mind. just as humanism freed people's thought from the force of religion in the renaissance, i'm waiting in the hope that it can rescue the ideology trapped in high technology. humanism is a lodestar guiding us to the era that anyone can form their own opinion about anything but not just speak the words from the internet.

ladies and gentlemen, i'm not an anti-technologist but i do care about those disadvantages that technology brings to our present life. with the laundry machine, we don't know how to hand wash clothes clean. with electronic address books, we can even hardly remember our girlfriends or boyfriends' phone numbers. and now with a convenient way to get opinion, we seldom think with our own mind. if so, human is only a reed, the feeblest thing in nature. so follow the spirit of humanism, have an independent mind, so that we can be colorful in those black mirrors.

every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. my friends will listen to me when i want to speak, will wipe my eyes when i cry, will take care of me when i am sick, and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.

as students, we could share more time with our friends. the friendship in our young hearts is pure, fresh and simple. i often feel very lucky to have a lot of good friends. especially when i had justin as one of my best friends. justin was my english teacher from the usa. i met him in 1996 when i was a student who could only speak very little english. justin was a vivid young man with a bright smile on his face, and he always had his special way to make the class active and attractive. he taught us english by telling stories, playing games, singing songs, and even dancing.

i could still remember very clearly that one afternoon when we fin-ished our class, we went to some other classes to sing songs for them, just like what people do in the states on christmas eve. it was so interesting and unforgettable. justin was an excellent teacher, because he taught us not only how to study english well, but also the way to find out the beauty of the world and the way to be angels to others' lives. i know there was friendship and pure love in our hearts. facing this valuable emotion neither nationality nor age was important, the real importance lay in faith,under-standing, and care. justin is the best friend i have ever had, and i know i will cherish those days of staying together with him as the best part of my memory.

friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives. it is actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the sweeter it will be. it is also like a cup of tea. when we are thirsty, it will be our best choice, but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves, it is also the most fragrant drink.

however, in this fast-developing modern society, the reality is not that. more and more people forget to enjoy the beauty of life and -the beauty of friendship. they work hard in order to gain a higher position, in the society and to earn more money for their work. of course, we don't deny that it is important to find a bet-ter place in our lives, but we wish more and more people could pay a little more attention to

themselves and their friends. all of us have to spare some time for personal lives. we have to find the chance to express our emotion and love. when staying with our friends, we can release ourselves completely. we can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry to-gether. i should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives.

as we know, we would feel lonely if we didn't even have a friend. but it doesn't mean we could depend on our friends all the time. there is a famous motto saying that “a friend is like a quilt with cotton wadding, but the real thing that keeps you warm is your own temperature.” it is really true. we have to work hard together with our friends, encourage each other and help each other. when we receive love and friendship, we should repay as much as we can.

finally, let's pray together now that one day, all of us could find the person we want to find, and could enjoy a real beautiful friendship in our lives. let's pray the flower of friendship be-tween our friends and us would always bloom brightly in our hearts.

good evening, honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen.

it’s my great pleasure to stand here to present my speech—change the world, change ourselves.

it’s noticable that western holidays are becoming increasingly popular day by day, while chinese traditional festivals are being somewhat neglected. not long before about 10 doctors in beijing university and qinghua unversity announced that we should reject the invasion of western holidays ,because they regard western holidays as an challenge against our traditional festivals and culture.

frankly speaking, i don’t quite agree with them.indeed, we should never neglect or even discard our traditonal festivals as china boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions. (examples).but why can’t we absorb the meaningful western holidays and culture. there are obvious reasons why some western holidays are so popular in china. on the one hand, some of the western holidays which we chinese don’t have are reasonable and meaningful, such as father’s day and april fool’s day etc. on the other hand,the prevalence of globalization enables western culture to prevail in china. overwhelmed by such a trend,chinese unconsiciously get involved in western holidays and culture.

with the further development of the whole world, the cultural communication between different countries and nations becomes faster and more and more important. we are indeed from different nations, but we are the citizens of the same world, so the outstanding culture of different nations is the commom wealth of everyone on the earth.the only way for us to protect our traditional culture is to reject the foreign culture? the answer is definitely no. what we ought to do is to spare no effort to educate chinese to get to know and treasure our splendid traditions instead of rejecting foreign culture. only by educating can we set our confidence and belief towards our culture. only by educating can we preserve and promote the wealth that our ancesters left for us.

at last i’d like to share a famouse saying of gandhi with all of you ,that is:if you want to change the world, then you must change yourself first.”

good morning , boys and girls. i am guopeng and glad to give you a speech about language learning。

in fact ,language learning comes from every detail in our life . as students in the university , we have more choices to improve our english level .i think ,we can learn it by going to class, seeing the movie ,listening to music , speak with our friends in english and so on. besides we also have some chances to learn just like this. so, we can learn it well if we attach more attentain to it.

the chief problem we should face to is our attitude and interest towards english learning le usually say they can not learn well because some excuse. yes, just excuse. we need to bring up interest and correct our attitude . if we determined to do ,we may have fun learning it well.

ok , i think i was afraid of making an speech 5

minutes before , but now i am here and have finished my speech . here is the last thing i want to add to my topic ,face to it and overcome it ,language learning is

just like some barriers that if you want to sweep away

it ,you can make it .

尊敬的xx:

大家好！我叫陈。很高兴在这里分享我对成长烦恼的看法。

长大了，就像生活中的一艘船，驾着浪面。有时平静，有时艰难。但是我长大的船，并不是一切都在走。对我来说，酸的，甜的，苦的，呵呵，一切。

现在，随着我的成长，正在成为成年人，所以在父母眼里，我不再是一个孩子。有时，他们会说& quot你& # 39；我长大了，不是小孩子了！"我一听这个头就疼。

当我还是个小男孩的时候，我的生活是如此的轻松。但是现在，前面的海浪更大，大海更曲折，我成为一名中学生，这一切我都过去了。我& # 39；我更高，作业更多，学习更多的科目，有更多的考试。当我还是个孩子的时候，无论发生什么我都是错的，没有人来责怪我。但是现在，如果我做错了什么，我的父母就会大喊大叫。轻松的时光将离我远去。我会更忙。

学习压力一直困扰着我。长大后，更多的`工作渐渐像小山一样。放学后，我不敢玩，去看自己喜欢的书，我& # 39；恐怕我能& # 39；为了完成这项工作，我只能拼命把我书里的钢笔弄成波浪形，例如，我必须在回家的路上跑步。课程也逐渐繁重。每天晚上回家复习，我看了很多书，我真的不知道学习什么科目，是语文？还是数学？还是地理？或者……

我该怎么办？展望未来的生活。

dear,

when holiday comes, thousands of people pour into the tourist sites, they want to relax themselves and enjoy the beautiful scenery. but chinese people have a bad habit, they like to leave some notes on the site, proving them have been here before.

such a behavior has been criticized by the public, because the leaving note will damage the preservation of the tourist site. most of the tourist sites are part of our country’s historical relics, these sites are priceless, it is everyone’s duty to protect the sites. when we go to travel, we should behave ourselves. first, we need to have the idea that no rubbish being leaved behind when we leave the site. we should take away what we bring, keep the environment clean. second, no any notes being written in the sites.

though in the old days, chinese workers like to leave their names on the sites, but now it is a new world, we need to behave ourselves.
