NO IMAGINATION, NO CREATIVITY
Dear teachers and students：
Good morning / afternoon / evening! My name is Liu zi yuan. The title of my speech is the relationship between creativity and imagination.
There is no creativity without imagination. With the development of the society, creativity becomes more and more important. People could not satisfy with ordinary life. So we need creativity to meet their requirements. We can see significance of the creativity from an example. The smart phone—iphone spread all over the world. That was the creativity of The Apple Inc. It is obvious that it will produce a bigger profit than common manufacturing. But, hao can we acquire creativity?
I think the creativity roots in imagination. Albert Einstein said that imagination is important than knowledge. Because we should creative a thing that is never appeared, we need to image. Use all the things and information around us to think and then go to achieve it. Without the imagination of the Wright brothers , human could not complete the flying dreams. Without the imagination of the Alexander Graham Bell, we could not hear the voice from a distance. If the creativity can make the human progress, imagination will be the road to success. Where the imagination come from? Knowledge ? Experience ? practice? I consider that all of them are indispensable. It is often said that knowledge is power. So we should empower ourselves with knowledge. After that we need to obtain experience form. practice. These are the basis, and we must strengthen them to extend our imagination.
As contemporary college students, we must shoulder the responsibility of the future of our motherland. What we need is not only the knowledge of the past, but also is the innovation of a new field. Our thought can not be bound by the old things. We should understand that an excellent nation is always full of creativity. So we must promote our imagination. There is no creativity without imagination. That’s all, thank you!

夢--一個改變世界的詞
大家好!我很榮幸能在這裡和大家分享我的想法，今天我將談論一個關於夢想的東西--一個改變世界的詞。
“你認為什麼是真正改變了我們世界的這個詞呢”
當我被問到這個問題的時候，沒有想太多，一個字閃進我的腦海——夢，le或多或少的夢想不同的東西，是一個教師，醫生，科學家，商人等等。所有這些人的夢想都應該得到尊重，因為夢想讓世界運轉。我們增長我們的夢想偉大，所有的偉人都是在青年時期偉大的夢想家。每個人都有夢想，一切都開始作為一個的白日夢。
路德金做了一個夢，他希望給黑人和白人能和諧共處等。說他，他這樣的教育，他深受啟發，他通知不只是那裡的人們，但全美國的人和未出生的後代，他推動了美國黑人社會的步伐走向種族平等。
愛迪生托馬斯做了一個夢，他夢見一個能用電來供電的電燈，他開始在那裡站著把自己的夢想付諸行動，儘管有一萬多個失敗，他站在那一個夢中，直到他成為現實!今天，他的夢想照亮了世界。
沃爾特迪士尼有一個夢想，這一點，在它本身並不尋常，他一直在做夢，他夢想製作第一部動畫電影，並建設一個娛樂公園，父母可以享受與他們的孩子。
約翰肯尼迪做了一個夢，他想把人送上月球並返回他安全返回地球，恢復美國的生活方式的信念。約翰肯尼迪授權他的夢想，8年後尼爾阿姆斯壯踏上月球的臉。登月的確給了美國人的新發現的信心。
夢---一個改變世界的話是的，我會這樣說，是不是你
青春是一個特殊的生命接力站，隨著煩惱的成長，生活的感覺變得與夢的幸福感，在這裡收集了一個獨特的青春旋律。
我們決定，我們選擇，並且當我們決定和選擇，我們的生活也在我們的生活中，最終形成我們自己的命運是什麼樣的野心是什麼，最重要的是，你是你選擇的那個人。
我們的生活，我們的日子，我們的生活，很容易浪費我們的生命，很容易生存，所以堅持你的夢想，因為如果夢想死亡，生命是一隻折斷翅膀的鳥兒，不能飛翔。
我希望你們每個人都可以.
In our daily lives, we have many choices to make, such as what to eat forsupper,what clothes to wear, or what to do on weekends. at certain times in ourlives, we need to make even more critical choices, such as which school toattend, what job to take or who to choose as husband or wife. yes, life is amatter of choice. seemimgly, it means a choice of tangible things. but inessence, it means choosing a way of life. life is to be lived, savored, andenjoyed, not to be wasted or complained about.
Hardly can we forget the time when our society faced the grave threat fromthe life-and-death disease--sars. yet, even during those dreadful times, someafflicted people remained optimistic. instead of wearing neutral white masks,some people turned to colouful ones, and thus display a happy mood. and somecreative people dubbed sars to mean "smile and remain smiling." i was deeplytouched by their optimisim, nearly forgetting that we're still in a le who survive these kinds of circumstances, (at some point)decide in theirminds to carry on in spite of the overwhelming odds.
Laid-off workers, typically regarded as the victims of economicadvancement, are subject to desperation that being unmeployed has brought onthem. but, encouragingly, we have witnessed some of them striving hard torebuild confidence toward life and discover new opportunities for demonstratingtheir values.
Although we cannot choose our appearance, inborn gifts and even avoidunexpected disasters and adversities, we do have the privilege to choose to liveoptimistcally,to love our lives, to have dreams, and to cherish hopes.
Every morning when we get up, we have a choice of how we want to approachlife that day. as for me, i choose to be cheerful.
My Attitude towards to Marks
For our students， marks is above everything. Teachers will judge us from ourmarks. With marks we can be enrolled into junior middle schools. With marks， wecan be enrolled into senior middle schools. With marks we can be enrolled intocollege. With marks we can be enrolled into postgraduate and doctrine l with marks we can be graded and be allowed to go abroad for furtherstudies. Our parents will be strict with us with the marks. Our society judge usfrom marks. However， sometimes we students compare one another with marksdirectly. We are completely controlled by marks. We like them and we feel sorryfor them. But what attitude towards our marks should we take?
Truly， marks functions cannot be underestimated. In terms of test in ourstudy， marks are fair and real. That is the reason why we say "Everyone is equalbefore marks. "
However， I think marks are the sole standard to judge the success or failureof students in exams. Sometimes， marks more than ten or less than one or two inour exams comparing with others mean not everything. The success or failure inexams will be influenced by experience on the spot and the examinee’s healthetc. Once in a while one cannot fail in exams. " Success or failure is commonsense for military. " I think everyone is familiar with the famous saying. Don’tyou think such will be the case with our study? In exams， one cannot be "never-defeated general" . Even though one will be very good in everyday study，he cannot succeed in every exam sometimes. We can get proof from the fact thatthe very best one we call "Number One Scholar" in the entrance exams for collegeand ordinary middle school and specialized secondary school over the years isnot eminent above all others nor top student in every study.
As a matter of fact， "high marks" and "ability" are not unified. Some timeago， a new phrase " high marks but poor competence" came into being. Once Ihappened to meet such a teacher as this is said that the teacher justgraduated from a far-famed key university. But his teaching result is much lessthan that of the one who just graduated from a not-well-renowned college. Whenlecturing， the teacher only repeated what the text-books says， which was verydull so the his students’ interest in learning was not aroused. His teaching wasshort of unity of teaching and learning. At present there is a fact that we knowa few brilliant and top college graduates are not qualified for their posts. Thereason for it may be lack of the ability to combine knowledge learnt from bookswith pragmatics in their work. Students of this kind will be successful in everyexam but they will be able to use freely their knowledge in their posts. Don’tyou think it waste training such persons for the country?
To sum up from the above， I can say marks are not absolutely authoritativefor some. If we neglect training and developing the students’ ability andcompetence and if we only seek for the high marks， we will be absolutely should take an objective attitude towards the marks. Neither should weneglect them nor should we overvalue them like a God.
Accept the Gift from Life
Ladies and Gentlemen：
Today I’m glad that I’m standing here talking to you all. As the title given，I am going to talk you about a way of treating people and things in life. Myspeech here basically includes 2 parts， in the former of which I‘ll describe youthe present occasion we teenagers are in.， as well as the reason behind. Thenit’s about the several opinions of mine toward the case above.
Undoubtedly， every one of us has stepped into adolescence， a period of timewhere the most
exciting and mysterious changes take place. Boys， apparently become moreambitious. Girls， in some ways， start to dream and become more sensitive aboutthe world. All in all， as if our emotions become much stronger， somehow we’realways trapped in circles and struggling against something that can’t be changedanyway. We complain about how fragile our friendship is， how little people knowabout us， how unfair the life is，etc. It seems that every time we fail， we blameit to the tough conditions we’re in， while never notice a problem insideourselves， that we’re never satisfied.
Let’s just imagine that there was an old lady. What she sees was herneighbors’ being mean again while not how kind they were when they took care ofher sick body. What she saw was her dog’s annoying barking while not how muchloyalty it had she saw was always so depressing that it finallyturned her into an unpleasant person. Think about how our life would be if westand in her shoe.
Why don’t we focus our attention on how much we’ve already got in stead? Youknow it’s really simple to do as there’s a tremendous amount of examples. Likethe popular Jetpack Joy Ride on your Iphone， you can enjoy it whenever you like，whereas in some poor area people don’t even know such thing as Iphone.
Actually we should be thankful about the richness we’ve got， thankful thatwith each sunrise taking place we don’t need to starve to call it a day，thankful that the people we love are still in health， that we still got much tohold on. As a saying on website，” The world is tough， but I’m tougher.” Whatdoesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
Every day is a gift from life， all we need is to accept it， cherish thelessons life has taught us， so as to achieve our goal with high spirit. In thisway， someday when we leave the world， we leave no regrets.
Thank you for listening.

As a student, we have experienced many exam. In this in, not failure and success. Facing the two completely different results, what should we do?
In fact, for success, this only represent the past, we should not be proud, people to front, the well now, hold the result, don't make now in the next test defeat. Faced with it, depression is completely unnecessary and draw lessons, to reflect on, still not night, try to start all over again, I believe in the correct understand the reasons, not only will return after success, still can accumulate experience, and know some ways to face setbacks , make oneself become stronger. In a word, whether success or failure, the most important is mentality, put calm, let it go.
There are many students afraid of exam, that, after this I believe the exam for them, not of fear, but the challenge!
In Calaveras, California, there lived a man whose name was Jim Smiley. Jimenjoyed betting somuch that he would bet on anything. If anyone said goodmorning to him, he would bet themthat it was not a good morning. Whenever therewas a horse race or a chicken fight, Jim wouldbet on it. He didn’t care whichside he bet on, as long as he had a bet.
One day, Jim showed a frog to a stranger who had just arrived in Calaveras,and bet thestranger forty dollars that the frog can jump farther and faster thanany other in CalaverasCounty. The stranger said he didn’t see anything about thefrog different from any other, and ifhe had a frog he would bet Jim. Jim lefthis frog with the stranger and go out to find a frog forthe stranger. Meanwhile,the stranger took out a bag of gunshot, forcing the frog’s mouthopen and pouredthe shot into it.
Soon Jim returned with a frog for the two frogs were put onthe floor, and theneach man gave his frog a push. The stranger’s frog hopped offsmartly. But Jim’s frog just satthere, unable to move an inch. Jim had nochoice. He gave forty dollars to the stranger, whotook the money and startedaway. Jim picked up his frog, and found it extremely heavy. Heturned it upsidedown, and the gunshot came out. He knew he had been fooled and, like a madman,started running after the stranger.
As he ran, he passed one of his friends, who asked him where he wasgoing.
"To catch a thief!" shouted Jim. "No matter how fast he may run, I'll catchhim. I'll bet you fivedollars!"
在加利福尼亞的卡拉維拉斯縣，有個人名叫吉姆?斯邁裡。他好打賭，見什麼賭什麼。要是有人跟他說“早上好”，他會說，這天早上不怎麼樣，不信就打個賭。只要有賽馬和鬥雞，他都要去賭。在哪一邊下注他不在乎，有機會賭就行。
有一天，吉姆見到一個來到卡拉維拉斯縣的陌生人，就把自己的一隻青蛙給他看，說這是卡拉維拉斯全縣跳得最快最遠的青蛙，不信就打個賭，賭40塊錢。陌生人說他看不出那隻蛙有什麼非凡之處，如果他手頭有一隻蛙，就賭一賭。聽了這話，吉姆就把自己的青蛙交給陌生人看管，出去為陌生人找一隻蛙來。他不在的時候，陌生人掏出一口袋鉛彈，掰開青蛙嘴，把鉛彈灌了進去。
不久吉姆就給陌生人帶了一隻青蛙回來。兩隻青蛙在地上擺好，然後各人將各自的青蛙輕輕一推。陌生人的青蛙一下子就跳起來，跳得好快好遠。但吉姆的蛙卻呆在那裡紋絲不動，像釘在地上似的。吉姆無奈，只得交出40塊錢。陌生人拿了錢就走了。吉姆把自己的蛙拿起來，覺得沉甸甸的。他把蛙倒提起來一抖，鉛彈掉了出來。他知道自己上了當，就像瘋子似的去追陌生人。
正跑著，一個朋友瞧見他，不問他風風火火地去幹什麼。
“去抓賊!”他吼道，“無論他跑得有多快，我都要追上他。不信打5塊錢的賭!”
Chinese teacher treats us just like friends, we also very trust to her.

good morning! ladies and gentlemen，today i will make a speech here 。 my topic is the importance of environment。
so many people talk about protect environment but very few actually do。this is because they dont really understand the importance of the environment。next im going to tell a story。 it will tell you how important the environment is。
long long ago，there was a kind of animal called dinosaur。 they were the biggest animals on earth。they were also very strong。 but because of the environment，they were disappeared。
were humans stronger than the dinosaurs? the answer must be no。 a dinosaur can easily kill a dozen people。but as strong as they still could not withstand the threat environment。 do you think we can?the answer is certainly not。 so we knew the importance of the environment。
the earth gives us a good environment。 we must learn to cherish， cherish this opportunity。
so ，we must protect the environment。 as a student，we can also do a lot of helpful things。 for example，we can protect it by not throwing rubbish away，we can save water to make full use of it and so on。
i have the answer to a question that we've all asked. the question is, why is it that the letter x represents the unknown? now i know we learned that in math class, but now it's everywhere in the culture -- the x prize, the x-files, project x, tedx. where'd that come from?
about six years ago i decided that i would learn arabic, which turns out to be a supremely logical language. to write a word or a phrase or a sentence in arabic is like crafting an equation, because every part is extremely precise and carries a lot of information. that's one of the reasons so much of what we've come to think of as western science and mathematics and engineering was really worked out in the first few centuries of the common era by the persians and the arabs and the turks.
this includes the little system in arabic called al-jebra. and al-jebr roughly translates to “the system for reconciling disparate parts.“ al-jebr finally came into english as algebra. one example among many.
the arabic texts containing this mathematical wisdom finally made their way to europe -- which is to say spain -- in the 11th and 12th centuries. and when they arrived there was tremendous interest in translating this wisdom into a european language.
but there were problems. one problem is there are some sounds in arabic that just don't make it through a european voice box without lots of practice. trust me on that one. also, those very sounds tend not to be represented by the characters that are available in european languages.
here's one of the culprits. this is the letter sheen, and it makes the sound we think of as sh -- “sh.“ it's also the very first letter of the word shalan, which means “something“ just like the the english word “something“ -- some undefined, unknown thing.
now in arabic, we can make this definite by adding the definite article “al.“ so this is al-shalan -- the unknown thing. and this is a word that appears throughout early mathematics, such as this 10th century derivation of proofs.
the problem for the medieval spanish scholars who were tasked with translating this material is that the letter sheen and the word shalan can't be rendered into spanish because spanish doesn't have that sh, that “sh“ sound. so by convention, they created a rule in which they borrowed the ck sound, “ck“ sound, from the classical greek in the form of the letter kai.
later when this material was translated into a common european language, which is to say latin, they simply replaced the greek kai with the latin x. and once that happened, once this material was in latin, it formed the basis for mathematics textbooks for almost 600 years.
but now we have the answer to our question. why is it that x is the unknown? x is the unknown because you can't say “sh“ in spanish. (laughter) and i thought that was worth sharing.
(applause)
whether there's afterlife, the answer has never been the same. the atheists deny after life, believing that our life is no more than from the cradle to the grave. they may care about their illustrious names after death; they may feel attached to the affection of their offspring, but they never lay their hopes on their afterlife. they may also say that good will be rewarded with good, and evil with evil, but they don't really believe any retribution in their after life.
however, in the religious world or among the superstitious people, the belief in afterlife is very popular. they do not only believe in afterlife, but thousands of reincarnations as well. in the mysterious world, there are the paradise and the hell, the celestial beings and the gods, the buddha and the bodhisattvas.
maybe they really believed it, or maybe they just wanted to make use of people's veneration, the ancient emperors always declared that they were the real dragons, the sons of god, while the royal ministers claimed to be the reincarnations of various constellations. but can the stars reincarnate?
many people burn incense and kowtow, do good deeds and strive for virtues, not just for the present, but mainly to let god see their sincerity so as to be reborn into a better afterlife, or to achieve the highest enlightenment after several lives of practice. they do believe in afterlife. but i can't help asking: suppose there were no afterlife, would you still do good deeds and strive for virtues? and if god does not see what you are doing, would you still be so upright and selfless? if you work, not for serving the public and liberating the others, but just for a better afterlife of your own, isn't it a little too selfish? comparing with this kind of believers, those who don't believe in afterlife, but still keep doing good deeds, are the most sincere and honest philanthropists, because they do them not for themselves but for other.
you may wonder if i believe in afterlife. my answer is: i know nothing about my previous life, so i dare not make improper comments on afterlife. but i do hope there's afterlife! because our present life is so short that so many things slip away before our proper understanding. i have so many dreams, so many wishes, so many ambitions, as well as so many regrets and concerns. if there were no afterlife, all of them will remain unrealized!
i'm not contented with the present commonplace life, i'm very much attached to the affections that should have been mine but have been washed away by the hurrying time, and i yearn for the perfection and maturity if i could start all over again. so believe it or not, i'd rather there were afterlife.
