Title: The Power of Dreams
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, esteemed judges, and fellow participants. Today, I stand before you to talk about the power of dreams.
Dreams are what keep us motivated and give us a sense of purpose. They push us to strive for greatness, to break free from our comfort zones, and to reach for the stars. We have all heard the famous quote by Walt Disney, "If you can dream it, you can do it." And I firmly believe in the truth behind these words.
As a child, I had a dream. A dream to become a professional dancer. However, many people doubted my abilities and told me that dreams are just fantasies that will never come true. But I refused to listen to them. I held onto my dream tightly and worked hard to make it a reality.
I enrolled in dance classes, practiced tirelessly, and participated in various competitions. It wasn't easy. There were times when I felt discouraged and wanted to give up. But I kept reminding myself of my dream and the passion that fueled it. I knew that if I gave up, I would never forgive myself.
With perseverance and determination, I slowly began to see progress. I won local competitions, gained recognition from renowned dance instructors, and eventually received a scholarship to a prestigious dance academy. My dream was becoming a reality, and it was the most exhilarating feeling in the world.
Dreams are not limited to one particular field or profession. Each one of us has our own unique dreams and aspirations. It could be becoming a doctor, an engineer, a teacher, or even starting your own business. The possibilities are endless. But the key is to believe in yourself and your abilities.
Along the journey towards our dreams, we will encounter obstacles and face setbacks. But it is during these challenging times that our true strength is tested. We must learn to embrace failure, to learn from our mistakes, and to never lose sight of our dreams.
In conclusion, dreams are powerful. They have the ability to transform our lives and the lives of those around us. They give us hope, drive, and a sense of purpose. So, let us never stop dreaming. Let us hold onto our dreams tightly, work hard, and never give up. Remember, if you can dream it, you can do it. Thank you.

Title: The Importance of Mental Health
Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed judges, and fellow participants, a very warm welcome to you all. Today, I would like to discuss the topic of mental health and emphasize its importance in our lives.
Mental health is often overlooked and underestimated. In a world that focuses primarily on physical well-being, we tend to neglect the significance of mental well-being. However, mental health is just as important as physical health, if not more.
We all experience stress, anxiety, and emotional challenges at various points in our lives. It is a natural part of being human. Yet, many people suffer in silence, afraid to seek help or share their struggles with others. This reluctance to address mental health issues can have severe consequences.
Untreated mental health conditions can lead to a decline in overall well-being, affect relationships, and hinder personal and professional growth. It is essential to understand that mental health is not a sign of weakness but a reflection of our humanity.
In recent years, there has been a growing awareness surrounding mental health, and I believe it is a step in the right direction. We need to break the stigma associated with mental health and create a safe space for individuals to seek help without fear of judgment.
There are several ways we can promote mental well-being. Firstly, we must prioritize self-care. Taking time for ourselves, engaging in activities we enjoy, and practicing mindfulness can significantly improve mental health. Additionally, fostering supportive relationships, whether it be with friends, family, or professionals, can provide the necessary emotional support during difficult times.
Furthermore, it is crucial to educate ourselves and others about mental health. By increasing awareness, we can decrease the stigma and promote understanding and empathy. Schools, workplaces, and communities should implement mental health programs and provide resources to support individuals in need.
Lastly, it is crucial to remember that mental health is a journey, and it requires ongoing effort. Just as we prioritize physical health by exercising regularly and eating nutritious food, we must also prioritize our mental well-being by practicing self-care and seeking help when needed.
In conclusion, mental health is as important as physical health. It is time we recognize the significance of mental well-being and prioritize it in our lives. Let us break the stigma surrounding mental health, support one another, and create a world where seeking help for mental health issues is encouraged and embraced. Together, we can make a difference. Thank you.

Good afternoon, honorable judges, dear teachers & friends.
I'm Lai Senhan from the University of International Business & Economics. Do you know what date is it today? Today is the Olympic Date. I'm so glad to stand here today to share my idea about Beijing Olympic Games together with you all. The title of my speech is: what can we do for Beijing Olympic Games?
First of all, let me tell you a story that happened 2 years ago. At the end of August, 2007, when I decided to come to Beijing for study, my friends hel rewell Party for me. They said: after your graduation, you should look for a job in Beijing, and then in 2008, we shall go to visit you during the Olympic Games. I laughed and answered: OK, no problem!
Time flied and 2 years passed. Now I am a graduate. My teachers and classmates always ask me: what's your plan after your graduation? Go back home, stay in Beijing, or go to some other places? And I always answer: I will stay in Beijing. I make this decision not because of my promise to my friends 2 years ago, but because: I've fallen in love with Beijing! I'm eager to welcome the coming Olympic Games together with my fellow countrymen, and I wish I could do something for the Olympics & for the city.
As we know, Beijing will host the 29th Summer Olympic Games in 2008. As a Chinese, I think many people are thinking: what we can do for Beijing Olympic Games. Most of us are not athletes, we cannot take part in competitions directly; we are not officials either, we don't need to do the preparatory work. We are only ordinary people, what we can do!
There are still so many things we can do! For example, for me, I am a graduate majoring Business English. As far as I am concerned, I will keep on learning English hard, and apply for being a volunteer. I will use English to serve the Games together with other volunteers. And also, as a businessman at that time, I will avail myself of the great commercial opportunities that the Olympics brings to us, make more efforts to offer my contribution to the growth of our national economy.

I Love You, China!
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, I’m very glad to make a speech here. Today my topic is “I love you, China.”
Since the day I was born, I began to have a proud name—Chinese. Since the day I began to talk, the most beautiful sentence I’ve ever learnt has been “I love you, China!”
I love you, China, and I’m so proud of being a Chinese. I’m proud that I’ve got the beautiful yellow skin, black eyes and black hair. I’m also proud that I speak the most beautiful language in the world—Chinese.
I love you, China, for I can feel the deep love you give me every day, every minute. Last year, I got an opportunity to visit the United States of America. During my staying there, my father’s boss once invited my family to dinner. While at table, he looked at me and asked: “Little boy, how long have you been in America?” “About a month,” I answered, “How lucky you are!” he said, “If you were living in China, how could you learn such perfect English?” I smiled and told him proudly that all the students in China are able to learn English at school. I saw his surprised eyes and said to myself, “I’m proud of you, China. For you are offering us the best education.”
When I came back from the USA, my friends asked me: “How do you feel about your staying there?” “Wonderful” I said. “Then why do you come back?” Hearing this, I told them there were lots of beautiful countries in the world, but none of them can compare with our own country—China. How true the saying is: “There’s no place like home!”
I love you, China. As a young student, all we should do is to study hard and devote ourselves whole-heartedly in the future, to the great cause of building you into an even stronger and greater country in the world. I love you, my dear motherland! I love you, China!
Thank you for your listening !

I'm studying in a city famous for its walls. All visitors to my city are amazed by the imposing sight of the city walls, silhouetted by the setting sun with gold and shining lines. With old, cracked bricks patched with lichen, the walls are weather-beaten guards, standing still for centuries in protecting the city.
Our ancestors liked to build walls. They built walls in Beijing, Xi'an, Nanjing and many other cities, and they built the Great Wall, which snakes through half of our country. They built walls to ward off enemies and evil spirits. This tradition has been maintained to this day as we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public. I grew up at the foot of the city walls, and I've loved them since my childhood. For a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world.
My perception, however, changed after a hiking trip to the Eastern Suburbs, a scenic area of my city. My classmates and I were walking with some international students. As we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by taller and taller trees, which formed a huge canopy above our heads. Suddenly an international student asked me, "Where is the entrance to the Eastern Suburbs?"
"We're already in the Eastern Suburbs," I replied.
He seemed taken aback, "I thought you Chinese have walls for everything." His remark set off a heated debate. At one point, he likened our walled cities to "jails," while I insisted that the Eastern Suburbs were one of the many places in China that had no walls.
That debate had no winners, but I did learn a lot from this international student. For instance, he told me that universities like Oxford and Cambridge were not surrounded by walls; the campuses were just part of the cities. I have to admit that we do have many walls in China, and as we are developing our country, we must carefully examine them, whether they are physical or intangible. We will keep some walls but tear down those that impede China's development.
Let me give you an example.
A year ago, when I was working on a term paper, I needed a book on business law and found a copy in the law school library. However, the librarian turned down my request with a cold shoulder, saying, "You can't borrow this book, you are not a student here." In the end, I had to spend 200 yuan buying a copy; meanwhile, the copy in law school was gathering dust on the shelf.
At the beginning of this semester, I heard that my university has started not only to unify its libraries but also link them up with libraries of other universities, so my experience will not be repeated. Barriers will be replaced by bridges. Through an inter-library loan system, we will have access to books from any library. With globalization, with China integrated into the world, I believe many of these intangible walls will be knocked down.
I know globalization is a controversial issue, and it is hard to say whether it is good or bad. But one thing is for sure: it draws our attention to China's tangible and intangible walls and forces us to examine their roles in the modern world.
And how about the ancient walls in my city and other cities? Should we tear them down? Just the opposite. My city, like Beijing and other cities, is actually making a great effort to preserve the walls. These walls attract not only historians and archeologists but also many schoolchildren trying to study our history and cultural heritage. Walls have turned into bridges to our past and to the rest of the world. If the ancient builders of these walls were still alive today, they would be proud to see such great change in the role of their walls. They are now bridges that link East and West, South and North, and all countries of the world. Our cultural heritage will survive globalization.

On March 14th, 2018, professor Stephen William Hawking passed away. His contribution to inflationary cosmology has forever shifted our understanding of the universe. He wasn’t just a physicist for England, but for all mankind. His death marks the end of an era. He has passed the baton to a new generation of minds, to a new era. The exploration of nature waits for no man. So, are we ready to embrace the new era and new challenges?
When I was a kid, professor Hawking was known to me as the author of A Brief History of Time. I bought a lot of science books back then, but they were really difficult to understand. Whenever I stumbled, I would turn to my physics teacher for help. We would go through pages and pages of materials together, whether it was middle school stuff or Feynman’s lecture from Caltech, sometimes hours on end. I felt like we were tearing off the mask of nature and staring at the face of god. It was his guidance that encouraged me to study physics today. We’re living in an era in which science is embedded in people’s lives. From teachers who pass on knowledge, to construction workers who build labs; from organizations that provide funding, to scientists who conduct research, we all contribute to science in our own unique ways. We the people say we’re ready.
On October 5th, 2015, China finally had its first Nobel Prize in natural science. Ms. Tu Youyou’s work and her receiving the most prestigious science award made us proud. We’re living in an era in which China is building some of the best research projects and institutions worldwide. Just a month ago, Professor Zhang Miman won the UNESCO for Women in Science Award, making her the fifth Chinese recipient of this honor. A week after that, The Economist referred to China as “a continent-sized rapidly growing economy with a culture of scientific inquiry”. Physicist and vice president of the Chinese Academy of Science, Dr. Zhang Jie stated, “China now has the most accurate, sufficient and largest amount of data; China has the highest, fastest and best ability of data analysis. The Chinese government will be strongly pushing for the sharing and utilization of data resources.” We as a country say we’re ready.
Science is an immortal topic of mankind. We’ve come this far because we’ve learned to work together and let the ideas evolve. The dispute over the completeness of quantum mechanics, for example, was resolved in the 5th Solvay conference, attended by 29 physicists from 10 different countries who have won 15 Nobel Prizes combined. That was almost 100 years ago. Now we’re living in an era in which information is transmitted at the speed of light, in which “International cooperation” is not just a slogan anymore, especially to the scientific community. Chinese Academy of Science now has 47 partners overseas. The International Council for Science now includes 122 national members, 23 scientific associates and 31 scientific unions. The facilities of the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, are available to over 600 universities and institutes around the globe. We, the world, are more than ready.
We’re all made of particles that have existed since the beginning of the universe, I’d like to believe those particles traveled through countless eras to create us, so that we, the people, China, and the world, can stand on the shoulders of giants, march into the new era with our head held high, and make people like Professor Hawking proud.
