the east and the west, let’s enjoy the combination of the two cultures?
kipling said:“east is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet!” but now, a century later, they have met.
they have met in business. they have met in education. they have met in the arts. some people will argue that these meetings will leave us with a choice between east and west, but i believe that the best future lies in the creative combination of both worlds. we can make western ideas, customs and technology our own, and adapt them to our own use. we can enjoy the best of both worlds, because our tradition is, above all, one of selecting the best and making it our own.
i love beijing and hennan opera because it always reminds me of who i am. but i am also a fan of pop music, especially english songs. so i have combined eastern melody with western language. it is called western henna opera.
when two cultures meet, there may be things in one culture, which do not fit into the tradition of the other. when this happens, we need to learn to understand and respect the customs of another culture. then there are certain things some people may not like. to this, i will say, if you do not like it, please try to tolerate it. to learn to tolerate what you personally don’t like is a great virtue at a time when different cultures mix and merge. before us, there are two rivers, eastern and western cultures. at present, they may run in different courses. but eventually, they will converge into the vast sea of human culture.
right now, i can see peoples of eastern and western cultures, standing side by side, singing the olympic theme song: we are hand in hand, heart to heart, together we will shape a beautiful tomorrow! thank you!
this is a glass of water, tasteless, right? however if you add sugar, it will taste sweet, but if you add vinegar, it will become bitter. the same is true with our life____ the flavor is created by our choices.
if kindness is added to a strange you will have a friend; but if hostility is added, you will have an enemy. if love is added to a pile of red bricks you will have a home, but if hatred is add to those bricks , you will have an concentration camp.
so my dear friends, never complain that life is boring and the world is disappointing. if don’t like the taste of your life, change the ingredients.
three year ago, i weighed more than 100 hundred kilograms which caused significant embarrassment and frustration in my life. like always failing my p.e examinations, like always being laughed at by girls, like being terrified to speak in public. it was my grandmother’s encouragement that revived from my passive attitude to become confident in myself. she said “ my dear, if you can’t change you figure, why not treat it as your own style. so i began to cautiously employ the new way of thinking. by choosing to change my outlook on life, i developed the confidence to make a difference and finally i found a totally new world.
so my dear friend, if faith, hope, love, endurance are added to your life, you will find the confidence to conquer your limitation and embrace new challenges. and hopefully with my speech included, you will have a fantastic speech contest.
helping every american with autism achieve their full potential is one of this administration’s top priorities. at the u.s. department of health and human services, we continue to strive to meet the complex needs of all people with autism spectrum disorders (asd) and their families. while there is no cure, early intervention is critical and can greatly improve a child’s development.
perhaps the biggest step we’ve taken to support those affected by autism and their families happened over a year ago, with the signing of the affordable care act. now, new insurance plans are required to cover autism screening and developmental assessments for children at no cost to parents. insurers will also no longer be allowed to deny children coverage for a pre-existing condition such as asd or to set arbitrary lifetime or annual limits on benefits.
also, thanks to the new law, young adults are allowed to stay on their family health insurance until they turn 26. for a young adult with autism spectrum disorder and their family, that means peace of mind. it means more flexibility, more options, and more opportunity to reach their full potential.
親愛的老師、同學們：
我的家鄉有很多節日，我尤其喜歡五月初五端午節了。
今年的端午這天節，我們全家人一起搶著吃媽媽剛剛包好的粽子。我迫不及待地剝開粽葉，咬了一口，說：“哇!媽媽包的粽子可真好吃啊!”媽媽笑著說：“你這個小饞鬼!粽子呀，有三角形、菱形、方形、柱形……可真是樣式繁多。如果按照餡料來分，可分為豬肉粽，黃豆粽，蜜棗粽，蛋黃粽等，味道各不相同。”我俏皮地說：“還是媽媽做的最好吃。”我一下子就吃了三大個。香噴噴的，裡面的肉餡更是鮮嫩。吃了一口還想再咬一口。
我們一家人吃好粽子後，又開車趕去觀看賽龍舟。
到那時，岸上的觀眾已是人山人海。河上的龍舟活靈活現，兩側做工十分精美。賽龍舟的叔叔們，穿著紅背心，頭上用手巾盤著英雄結。他們可謂信心匯成商學院，蓄勢待發。一聲槍響後，各位叔叔們用力划著龍舟，龍舟像離弦的箭一樣，非一般地前進。剛開始，旗鼓相當，不分上下，最後紅色的龍舟勝利了，紅色龍舟上的人們歡呼起來，我們也歡呼起來。
今天端午節過的真開心啊!
敬愛的老師、同學們：
大家好!今天我要演講的主題是《祖國在我心中》。
每當我看到鮮豔的五星紅旗冉冉升起的時候;每當我聽到激動人心的《義勇軍進行曲》的時候;每當我帶上象徵著希望的紅領巾的時候;一種自豪、驕傲的心情就油然而生。因為祖國就在我的心中。
翻開歷史的昨天，在我的腦海中浮現出了許許多多的畫面，如：張騫出使西域，使東西方的交流更加密集;鄭和七下西洋，與東南亞各個國家進行交流。但由於中國的封建統治者妄自尊大、閉關鎖國、思想僵化。鴉片戰爭的炮聲驚破了中國人“天朝上國”的美夢，又從鴉片戰爭到八國聯軍侵華，到南京大屠殺，中國不斷遭受西方列程的欺凌。一個又一個不平等的條約，一次又一次的割地、賠款。終於在1949年10月1日，新中國成立了，中國人民看到了希望。
隨著香港、澳門的迴歸，我國結束了幾百年來的屈辱史。經濟特區、沿海明珠;863計劃，一國兩制;留學熱潮……這一切無不在昭示著中國的無限發展和活力。
一個走向世界的民族，必須自尊自立，自信自強。讓我們爆發全部的激情，貢獻所有的潛能，為祖國母親的繁榮富強、為建設富而美的新濟陽而努力拼搏、共同奮鬥吧!
我的演講到此結束，謝謝大家!
