大学生活 英语作文
Life in the University-大学生活
Life in the university is not as satisfactory as what we had expected.
First of all, we are tightly hound by continual classes, excessive homework and exams; some students complain that we are becoming "exam machines". Secondly, the teaching method is boring; instead of lecturing, some teachers just "read" lessons. Finally, living conditions need to be improved; and food in the dining-hall is far from being attractive and tasteful.
In spite of all these adversities we still enjoy our life in the university. During the four-year university study, we can not only acquire a lot of book learning, but also foster various abilities. All types of extracurricular activities such as sports meets, speech contests, different social gatherings and dancing parties provide opportunities to make friends; many of these friendships may last a long time.
In short,we should value our life in the university. Four years is only a short period when compared with our whole lifetime. In the university we mature, and in the university we prepare ourselves for the real world. Although there are many
things lacking, the four years in the university is a worthwhile period in our whole lifetime.
我的大学生活英语作文
The bright and dark sides of my university life
Every coin has two sides. On the one hand, I am quite satisfied with my university life. On the other hand, life in my
university is not as satisfactory as what we had expected. Here is the bright side of my university life: Firstly,
Equipment of my university is advanced and teacher team is powerful. There is an advanced library that owns all kinds of books. So we can acquire a lot of knowledge from my university. Secondly, all sorts of lectures are given on campus. We can learn much knowledge that is interesting. Thirdly, my campus activities are rich and colorful. Such as sports meets, speech contests, different social gatherings and dancing parties provide opportunities to make friends. What’s more, my dormitory life is very harmonious. Dormitory life is an
important part of my university life. On the one hand, we can have a good rest and put our heart into study. On the other hand, we will have a good mood and enjoy being together.
This is the dark side of my university life: Firstly, there is only one dining room in my university. So we often need to wait
in a long line, which waste much time. Everyday is always fixed cuisine types, which make our appetites depressed. Secondly, self-study room is not enough. Now we will soon take final exam. So it is difficult to find a self-study room. What’s more, network of my university is very unstable. It is difficult to search literature in my dormitory, which waste too much
time.In short, I am quite satisfied with my university life, but there is still some room for improvement. I am convinced that my university life will become better and better.

After entering college, we found, to our surprise, that differences between high school life and college life are great. In high school, we always depended on our parents and teachers to solve all kinds of difficult problems. At college, however, we have to rely exclusively on ourselves. What's more, we have to learn how to get along with our classmates and roommates.
Four years at college is an important yet very short period of time in our life. So it is always expected that we adapt to this life as quickly as possible. But it is a pity that not everyone can do so immediately. Here are some suggestions.
First, get familiar with the main buildings on the campus. Spend one or two hours by yourself or with your classmates to go around the campus so that you can know the location of such important places as the library, the dining room, the post office, the clinic and classrooms. Next, try to be independent. Learn to do such things as making sound decisions on how to spend your time, how to spend your money etc, and washing clothes on your own. Furthermore, form good study habits. Talk with your classmates and learn from their good habits. Finally, try to take part in all kinds of activities to get out of your solitude and get on well with your classmates.关于如何适应大学生活的英语作文
My university life is better than expected,It is universally acknowledged that when a freshman walk into a big, fascinating but complicated campus, what impresses him most will be the atmosphere of freedom and the "abuse", which will teach you a lesson before you really adapt to the life of university.
After years of frustration with heavy homework and education which mostly gives us skill of exam more than knowledge itself, I sat down and imagined how my college life would be this summer vacation. In my opinion, compared with universities in HK, universities here is less active , full of awkward political education, and provide too much leisure time in which laziness is born. In a word, it will be boring, if it fits my idea.
However, life tends to be more and more different from expected, as I feel myself absorbed into the campus little by little. Every day when I pass by the door of dormitory I notice tens of posts that contains information of activities of miscellaneous groups or interesting lectures which widen our horizon, just like the lively and colorful world below the calm surface of the Pacific Ocean. When it comes to my major, mathematics, I am very willing to devote much time to having lessons, doing proper homework, going to libraries to check more details other than textbooks or debating problems through MSN with other friends who share the same interest.
college life
There are obvious differences between high school life and college life. First,college students will live in the dormitory with classmates who come from various places, and who may have different living habits. Second,college
teachers ,instead of explaning in detail how to solve every problem, might only tell different approaches to the problem, and leave students to study and solve problems independently. Finally, in college,there is more free time for students to spend on.
However how should the college freshman adapt himself to these
differeces. First of all, he should learn to be tolerant and consider more for
others,which is necessary for group living. Moreover he should take active part in collective activities and make more communication with classmates and teachers. It will help he be smoothly integrated with your new environment. Besides,as to study,he should develop a good habit of self-teaching and learn
to arrange study independently. Of course,it may take a freshman some while to become accustomed to the study and life in college. However, we all have to accept constant challenges of new things in our life. To conclude,college
students should try to adapt himself to college life as soon as possible, so as to take full advantages of their precious college time.

Why People Travel
As is to all known, More and more people like to travel in their spare time. That's why? I think there are many reasons as follows.
Firstly of all, the physical needs of many people has been greatly satisfied. So people pay more attention to the spirit of enjoyment. In addition, nowadays, people are facing heavier and heavier pressures and challenges, therefore need to travel to relax.
Secondly, when people watch others go to travel. Out of curiously, they will also do it. This is a kind of psychological effect. This phenomenon is called Conformity Phenomenon. Finally, along with the rapid development of economy. People can get to more money, which has created the necessary conditions for travel. In other words, In addition to the life, people have more money for travelling.
The above is only part of the reason why people travel. In any case, I believe, tourism will become a part of people's life.

Is Man the Most Aggressive and Cruel of All Living Creatures?
As a well-known view goes,''Man is the Most Aggressive and Cruel of All Living Creatures.'' In my opinion that's right. This view is not imaginary,there are many facts can be proved.
Many examples can be cited to illustrate this view, and among them is killing animals. Take the Indian Ocean on the islands of Mauritius of life for the dodo, due to its flesh is
delicious and clinking, so at that time a lot of prey by human beings, in the seventeenth century was already against extinction. Now, some animals have already died out, crocodile although cruel, but humans more cruel.
Destruction of nature is another case in point. For example, cars have made the air unhealthy for people to breathe and poisonous gas is given off by factories. Trees on the hills have been cut down and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers.Furthermore, wherever we go today, we can find rubbish carelessly disposed.
there are countless other examples, In a word, ''man is the most aggressive and cruel of all living creatures.

题: The relationship between doctors and patients
描
述: In this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on The relationship between doctors and patients in no less than 150 words following the outline given
below. 1. 近年来医患关系出现日趋紧张现象。2. 分析出现这种现象的原因和具体表现3. 我对这一现象的看法。
The relationship between doctors and patients
In recent years, the phenomenon of increasingly tense relations between doctors and patients.
There are several reasons for that. Firstly, The lack of mutual trust between doctors and patients. Some diseases are incurable, but public expectations are too high for medical technology, believed dead person is malpractice. Then, it is too hard for the patients to afford the expensive medicine.Especially people in rural areas who not have enough money to see a doctor. The last, the inequality between the doctors and the patients is that ,the doctors are in a dominant position while the patient in a passive position.
When we learn the problem we should solve it.In my opinion, doctors should have a solid medical training.I believe it is a useful way to prevent medical accident. Then,it's extremely necessary to popularize and strengthen doctor-patient communication.Therefore,doctors should accept this kind of communication training.
In that time,we could see the harmonious relationship between the doctor and the patient.
1. College friendship
What is friendship? It is not food that we eat when we are starved, but it can help fill up our empty mind when we feel lonesome. It is not clothes to wear when we are frozen, but it is able to keep a stream of warmth welling up our heart. It is not a book that we read, but it provides guidance to our life. Friendship is untouchable but it exists and touches people's heart. It is something wonderful. Friendship is about solicitude. When we get ill in bed, our friends will put aside what they are doing and come immediately to us. They will sit by our bed so that they can get what we need at the moment promptly.
Friendship is about encouragement. When we fail and find ourselves hopeless and helpless, friends will be there , accompanying us, bracing us up and seeing it through with us.
Friendship is about consolation. When we weep in grief, our friends will be around us, hearkening to our bitter experience and trying their level best to make us feel better.
Nevertheless, it is superficial to perceive friendship as gaining benefits from others. Friendship is more than that. We can't merely receive. We ought to repay as well because friendship is reciprocal.
Friendship is about tolerance. We can't expect our friends to be flawless because no one is perfect. We should be magnanimous enough to accept some of their shortcomings, which they endeavor hard but fail to get rid of.
Friendship is about forgiveness. They shouldn't be considered as bad friends even if they do something wrong to us. We are supposed to listen calmly and even-temperedly to their words as well as accept their sincere apology. A trifle is not supposed to injure a great friendship.
Friendship is about constant attention. Long time of neglect will upset our friends. If we let nature take its course without taking any action, friendship will eventually wither, like a flower which has been left without caring for too much time.
Now it won't be so hard to realize that friendship is not as easy as it may seem. It is like the reservoir, which will dry up if one doesn't constantly pipe water into it. It is like the glass, which is fragile and needs careful attention.It is sometimes difficult to handle.
To conclude, friendship is a mutual spiritual assist. We get supported and helped while at the same time support and help our friends.
2. Be a volunteer
Good morning everyoneToday I am going to talk about: should everyone be a volunteer.
There is no doubt that volunteer work in China has been brought into focus throughout the world. We presented so much last year, which indeed gave the world a big surprise. Our spirits, our merits, everything we showed during the grand gathering and the disaster proved that volunteer work is necessary. It may help you to make more friends, to learn new skills, to try how to a successful.
However did everyone necessary need to be a volunteer. Someone may not have time to help others, but they want to help the government and poor people.
First of all, We may give them some money or things to those people who needs help. Besides, volunteering would be beneficial to the volunteers themselves Getting involved in volunteering, volunteers will be exposed to a new environment, and they can learn how to work well in a team, how to improve their interpersonal skills and organizational skills, all of which are critical for their professional growth. The last, helping people make us extremely pleased.
As a college student, I sincerely hope that everyone would join the volunteering work. It is not only good to our society, but also a chance for us to grow and to learn.
That is all, Thank you for your listening.
3.A story campus
A college dream was built in the soil of my heart a long time ago and it now has deeply rooted in my heart. Today I came true that entered the gate of college. The wonderful campus life is right there waiting for me to discover.
When I moved into the campus of college is gorgeous and surprised my first day at the college. Why did I these, First of all, the campus life is really different from what I have experienced the high school. For instance, there won't be that many classes to attend so I have a lot of free time. In my spare times I read books, play basketball, go to the downtown and I also put myself on name list of a lot of student organizations. I also participate in the student union which could bring me a lot of practical experience and friends.
As I walk down the familiar routes, I have been panicking and appreciating that is surrounded by so many gifted people is what has made my four years in this school a truly priceless experience. And these every little thing makes me realize how wonderful and special my college. From now on, I will cherish these three years forever as I reluctantly close the doors before on my college life.

4 the most memorable leasson I’ve ever had
It's a pleasure for me to share my experience with you all.
It was a boring summer when I was surrounded with lost and emptiness after
The National College Entrance Examination. I stayed at home everyday without vigor and vitality what I should have as a teenage. My mother was very worried about me. One day she took me to a place.
It was a music store, and my mother asked me to learn the guitar there as I ever said it is cool. Many kinds of music instruments looked nice, and the whole house was covered with pleasant music. However, in my impression such place is just to make money under the guise of art. But it was my mother's command, I have to learn to play the guitar there.
Unexpected, I have a lesson that have important significance for my life. When I enter the classroom, I saw a middle-aged man with long hair holding the guitar which looked great. He smiled and let me sit down. Then he began to play guitar. I had never seen anything so beautiful in my life. And I wonder a person can play guitar so great. It seems that the guitar was a part of his body. With the flying fingers on the strings, variety styles of music was changing constantly. Every musical note liked elf, my life suddenly became vibrant. My soul was deeply shocked and my mood can not heal for long time.
At that time , I was attracted by guitar and I asked him how can play guitar so fantastic. He said , you should regard guitar as your best friend , and love it . Radiance of life is together with painstaking forever. As me , I pursue music as my life. He told me he had ever learn guitar from 18 teachers , and live a poor life when he was young.
I can't forget his dreamy music , but his words is more impressive. There is no easy task in life and when you do something with a lifetime of effort, you should be very prominent in this field.
From then on , I was fond of guitar and play it sometime. More importantly I have a faith after the lesson : people only experienced many failures can play a wonderful music of life. Thank you for your listening.
5. How I learn English
There are many ways for us to learn English, but ways for us to learn English well is limited. Different ways of learning English effect different people differently.
As for me here are some examples of things I have to do: 1. Read a book in English for an hour every day, analyzing the grammar in sentences and looking up words in an English dictionary 2. Listen to an audio book or other recording in English, stopping it frequently, trying to understand what is being said, and trying to imitate the speaker's pronunciation 3. Spend your afternoon practicing the pronunciation of the English "r " sound 4. Carefully write an e-mail message in English, using a dictionary or a Web search every 20 seconds to make sure every word is correct, and taking 5 minutes to write one sentence 5. Think about an
English sentence you've read, wondering if it could say "a " instead of "the " in the sentence, and trying to find similar sentences on the Web to find out the answer 6. Walk down the street and build simple English sentences in my head.
There is no doubt that English is one of the world's most widely used language. English is one of the most common languages that are speaking in the world. According to the research, there is nearly one person in every ten people can speak English. We need to learn English because as our country's economy's develop, there are more and more opportunities for us to visit other countries. If we want to communicate with foreigners who don't know how to speak Chinese, we need to speak English. It's important for us to learn English because we want to learn other people's technologies and cultures, therefore we can improve our knowledge.
6. the power of dream
The dream is very wonderful. Having a dream like owning a lighthouse. It directs men and women to seewhat they have in mind.
A dream is to a man what wings are to a bird. With a dream in the deep heart s core, a man is spontaneously driven to hitch his wagon to a star. A dream is an inexhaustible source of energy that keeps our enthusiasm burning, and kindles our desire to enhance our spiritual cultivation, refine our character, and upgrade our quality of life. A life without a dream is like a bird with broken wings, confined to a cage and oblivious of what lies beyond the range of its vision. On the contrary, a man with a dream is like a warrior armed with ambition, foresight and gallantry, daring to step into an unknown domain to make a journey of adventure. It is dream that adds fullness, variety, and spice to our life and makes it worth living.
I have a dream. It is d dream that is deeply rooted in human nature. I dream that one day people of all origins can live in harmony and peace without being discriminated against or persecuted. The bounty of the earth can be shared by every single human being. Mutual respect will guarantee the existence and continuation of the DIVersity of customs and cultures. Love, sympathy, and cooperation will alleviate the sufferings and disasters inflicted upon our fellow men. Respect for basic human rights will put an end to social injustices and evils. When my dream comes true, all men will be truly equal, happy, and free.
The dream directs us on our journey , the dream can give our strength renewed. In lonely time , when we pass through a strom of disappointment , we find our commitment is unshaken . The dream can firm our emerge, believing in our ability to accomplish something meaningful..
Computer and Education.
Computers are now essential in many areas of life – modern banking, retail and information exchange among others. However, this is not true for education. At a simple
level some subjects may be better taught using computers, but to explain important concepts a human teacher is still indispensable.
Why computers do well, with examples
There are some subjects in which a computer can be used successfully to teach. Elementary mathematics, elementary language leaning, any area which requires a student to memorize basic facts through repetition is well suited to computer learning. The computer can be programmed to provide an endless number of simple questions, and as the student answers these questions the facts are learned and reinforced. What computers cannot be, with an example
However, in the learning and practice of more complex ideas, the computer is not adequate. A computer can evaluate an answer as right or wrong, but it cannot determine why. It cannot find out why a student is making mistakes, and then re-present important concepts in a different way so the student will understand. It cannot determine at what stage in a mathematics problem the student has made an error, it can only indicate that the final answer is wrong. Tasks involving reasoning cannot be taught by computers, as there are too many variables for a computer to deal with successfully. Conclusion re-states main ideas
Thus, while computers may be useful as a tool for practicing simple skills, they are not an essential feature of modern education, because they cannot monitor a student’s grasp of concepts, nor evaluate a student’s reasoning. Until further developments in computers are made the human teacher will remain indispensable.
Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary?
A test of spoken English will be included as a component of College English Test. Many people consider it necessary to adopt such a test. For one thing, fluent speaking ability is badly needed in today’s society, a society that is experiencing reform and wider opening to the outside world. For another, in a more competitive society such as ours today, fluent spoken English usually becomes that ounce more advantage you have to beat your rivals in competing for a position having much appeal for both of you. All these point to the indispensability of a spoken English test.
Some people, however, take a different attitude. They regard the test as being unnecessary. Fluent spoken English, they argue, does not necessarily mean bringing a better job, for sometimes, opportunity plays a more important role. Furthermore, many people do not use spoken English at all in their work.
Personally speaking, I am really in favor of the test because it can encourage college students to try every means to improve their spoken English, which will benefit them forever. Thus I decide to make use of every opportunity to practise my spoken English, and surely it will do me much good.
Unit1:Writing for myself
Suddenly I wanted to write about that ,about the warmth and good feeling of it, but I wanted
to put it down simply for my own joy, not for Mr. Fleagle.it was a moment I wanted to recapture
and hold for myself. I wanted to relive the pleasure of that evening , write it as I wanted, however,
would violate all the rules of formal composition I learned in school, and Mr. Fleagle would surely
give it a failing grade. Never mind, I would write something else for Mr. Fleagle after I had written
this thing for myself.
When I finished it ,the night was half gone and there was no time left to compose a proper,
respectable essay for Mr. Fleagle. There was no choice next morning but to turn in my tale of the
Belleville supper. Two days pass before Mr. Fleagle returned the graded papers, and he returned
everyone’s but mine. I was preparing myself for a command to report to Mr. Fleagle immediately
when I saw he lift my paper from his desk and knock for the class’s attention
Unit2(略)
Unit3:Public attitude toward science
Whether we like it or not, the world we live in has changed a great deal in the last hundred
yeas, and it I likely to change in the next hundred. Some people would like to stop these changes
and go back to what they see as a purer and simpler age. But as history show, the past was not
that wonderful. It is not to bad for a privileged minority, though even they had to do without
modern medicine, and childbirth was highly risky for women. But for the vast majority of the
population, life was nasty ,brutish and short.
Anyway, even if one wanted to ,no can’t put the clock back to an earlier age. Knowledge and
techniques can’t be just forgotten. Nor can one prevent further advances in the future. Even if all
government money for research were cut off(and the present government is doing it best), the
force of competition would still bring about advances in technology. Moreover, one cannot stop
inquiring mind from thinking about basic science ,whether they are paid for it. The only way to
prevent further developments would be a global state that suppressed anything new, and human
initiative and inventiveness are such that even this wouldn’t succeed. All it would do is slow the
rate of change.
Unit4:The American Dream
After he pass away ,I thought more and more about Tony’s career. He grew in stature in my
mind . In the end , I think he stood as tall, and as proud, as the greatest American industrialist.
They are reached their success by the same route and by the same values and principal: vision,
determination , self-control, optimism, self-respect and ,above all, integrity
Tony did not begin from the bottom rung of the ladder, he began in the basement. Tony ‘s affair
were tiny, the American industrialist’s affair were giant,. But ,after all, the balance sheets were
exactly the same. The only differences was where you put the decimal point.
Tony Trivisonno came to America seeking the American Dream, but he didn’t find it .---he
created for himself,. All he had were 24 precious hours a day, and he wasted none of them.
Unit5:The company man
At the funeral, the sixty-year-old company president told the forty-year- old widow that the
fifty-one-year old deceased had meant much to the company and would be missed and would be
hard to replace. The widow didn’t look him in the eye. She was afraid he would read her
bitterness and, after all, she would need him to straighten out the finances--- the stock options
and all that.
Phil was overweight and nervous and worked too hard. If he wasn’t at the office, he was
worried about it. Phil was a Type A, a heart-attack natural. You could have picked him out in a
minute from a lineup.
Unit6:A valentine story
And there he stood. Her pale, round face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm
and kindly glow. I did not hesitate.
My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her.
This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than
love, a friendship for I had been and must ever be grateful.
I squared my shoulder and saluted and held out the book to the woman, even though while I
spoke I felt chocked by the bitterness of my disappointment. I’m lieutenant John Blanchard, and
you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?
The woman’s face broadened into a smile. I don’t know what this is about, son, she answered,
but the young lady in the green suit who just went by., she begged me to wear this rose on my
coat. And she said it you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting
for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test.
Unit7:What animals really think
Over the years, I have written extensively about animals intelligence experiments and the
controversy that surrounds them. Do animals really have thought ,what we call consciousness?
Wondering whether there might be better ways to explore animals intelligence than experiment
designed to teach human signs, I realized what now seems obvious: if animals can think, they will
probably do their best thinking when it serves their own purposes, not when scientists ask them
to.
And so I started talking to vets, animals researchers, zoo keepers. Most do not study animals【大学英语文章】
intelligence, but they encounter it, and the lack of it, every day. The stories they tell us reveal
what I’m convinced is a new window on animal intelligence: the kind of mental feats animals
perform when dealing with captivity and dominant species on the planet----humans.
Unit8:Fable of the lazy teenager
But this is just a tiny slice of the problem. The ability to perform even the simplest calculations
is only a memory among many students I see, and their knowledge of world history or geography
is nonexistent.
Moreover, there is a chilling indifference about all this ignorance. The attitude was summed up
by a friend’s bright, lazy 16-year-old son, who explained why he preferred not to go to U.C.I.A. I
don’t want to have to compete with Asians, he said. They work hard and know everything.
In fact, this young man will have to compete with Asians whether he wants to or not. He
cannot live forever on the financial, material and human capital accumulated by his ancestors. At
the point soon, his intelligence laziness will seriously affect his way of life. It will also affect the
rest of us. A modern industrial state cannot function with an idle, ignorant labor force. Plans will
crash. Computer will jam. Cars will break down.

And at age 19, she got a part in a low-budget movie called Freeway. That led to asubstantial role in the movie Pleasantville. But her big break came with Legally Blonde.
19岁那年，她出演了一部低成本电影《极速惊魂》。这为她后来在《欢乐谷》中争取到真正重要的角色奠定了基础。而她真正的破冰之作是影片《律政俏佳人》。 Well, she decided,"if you can't sing and you aren't glamorous, play to your strengths. Ifyou're going to make it in this business, it's not going to be on sexy — that's not who you are.Better focus on what you've good at. Celebrate yourself." And then came the offer that took herback to her Nashville roots — playing the wife of tormented country star Johnny Cash. A singingrole.
她暗下决心：“既然自己没有歌唱天分，又不是光彩照人，那就尽力演出。要想在这行做下去，就不要在性感上做文章了——自己不是那种类型的。最好在自己擅长的方面下功夫。要展示自己。”这时，她接到片约，邀她出演约翰尼•卡什——一个饱受折磨的乡村歌手——的妻子，这是个需要演员有唱功的角色，该片约又把她带回到纳什维尔的家乡。 All of a sudden the old fears were back. She was so nervous on the set, a reporter wrote, she"kept a sick bucket" nearby and admitted she "would go backstage after a singing scene andshake." But she didn't
give up on the movie or herself.
突然，旧时所有的恐惧感又回来了，一名记者报道说，她在台上实在是太紧张了，甚至在一边“准备了呕吐时要用的痰盂”，她自己也承认“每唱完一幕回到后台，自己都在发抖”。但她没放弃那部电影，也没放弃自己。 The humor and drive she learned at home overcame the self-doubt learned on that summer stage. Shespent 6 months taking singing lessons again. She learned to play the Autoharp. And the hard workbuilt up her confidence.
她用六个月的时间重新开始学习声乐。她还学会了演奏竖琴。不懈的努力让她重拾信心。 Last March, Reese Witherspoon walked up on another stage, the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, andaccepted the Oscar as Best Actress for her heartbreaking, heartwarming singing role as JuneCarter Cash in Walk the Line.
2006年3月，里斯•威瑟斯庞走上了另一个舞台——好莱坞的柯达剧院。凭借在影片《一往无前》里饰演的琼•卡特•卡什这一歌唱角色，她获得了奥斯卡最佳女演员奖，她在片中饰演的角色令人心碎，但也让人心暖。
Finally, as you read thse accounts of Reese Witherspoon, consider the obstacles she met. Thelesson of the strory, I suppose, is that instead of making dozen excuses why you can not realizeyour dreams, think about this story, just hold to your dream and never give up. 最后，当你读瑞茜威瑟彭斯的故事时，想想她遇到的挫折。我认为，这个故事告诉我们，与其找借口解释梦想为什么不能实现，不如想想这个故事，坚持你的梦想，永不放弃。

I believe in our future
Honorable Judges, fellow students:
Good afternoon!
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 the college students are the pampered
