The tempo of modern civilization has been much quickened in the last twentyyears. While witnessing the dramatic changes in the better-off society，peoplebegin to reconsider the question of "survival". "Survival" in the old sense doesnot bother us anymore. Instead，we are more concerned about how to "survive" inthe human world full of petition.
Competition always carries abreast challenges and opportunities to everyoneinvolved. It might appear in an entrance exam，in a regular class，or in a smallpublic speech. Those who fail to detect its real nature-whether an opportunityor a challenge a petition really is- will lose something more or less conduciveto our growth. Of course，if we take the petition as an opportunity，we willfavor it intentionally because they can help us outstand from the average; theywill make us bee the focus of public attention; they will grant us more chancesand rights to succeed. As a matter of fact，opportunities are supposed to bemore perceptible and weling than challenges. The truth is，however，we will losemore opportunities when we choose to take the "opportunity" fork at thecrossroads. The other fork，ignored by us and defined as "fearful challenges"，offers much more chances for the walker in petition.
We have such an inclination in life to overestimate ourselves and hold athoughtless attitude towards the negative outlook of things.
We believe in the old saying，"Opportunity knocks but just once，" so wealways wele it and devote all our spirit and efforts to it. The most devoutbeliever of this saying are the graduates. Why? There are quite a number of themwho pay full attention to positions in big cities and are willing to flood intodeveloped areas under any circumstances，even though there will be too muchuncertainty for their choices. Innumerable cases go straight to the samemiserable end: God seems to refuse to help too many of His worshipers.
In conclusion，to define the quuality of petition seems to be far fromvaluable sense，for no matter what a petition is，an opportunity or a challenge，it will create nutritious elements for our growth.
So take a positive look at everything around. Keep our face to thesunshine，and we will not see the shadows.
Good afternoon，ladies and gentlemen!
I'm very honored to stand here and give you a short speech! To begin with，I want to ask a question .Does everybody dream a good dream last night?Actually，today I want to talk about dream with you. Of course，What I want totalk is not a dream you have last night，but a dream—— about life.
Everyone has dreams about life，different dreams at different lifestage，and we need dreams to support us. Dreams are like the stars we never reachin the sky，but like most mariners，we can chart our course by them. With thedream，we have a direction，with a direction，we were no longer confused.With thedream，there is hope，With hope，we have the strength to fight.
I have a dream: To be a doctor.because doctor may relieve the pain ofpatients. May let the human change the health. At the same time，I believedthat，those who help others may be able to obtain joyfully. Therefore，I hopedin the near future，I might be a doctor.
But I know，life is tough，and there are always ups and downs，maybe we failin the way to our aims，and we may feel depressed，whenever at this time，thedream in our heart can always fort us，encourage us，and support us to moveahead.
Young!Fortunately，I am young now. Just due to it，I know that nothing isimpossible.I firmly believe that nothing can stand in my way. If I can't realizemy dream，it result from that I haven't work harder enough and I won't find otherexcuses. If no people believe you，you can make it to prove that you are right.If you think the god haven't blessed you and there is no truth here，you can beethe god and create the truth.
“My breath swallows the sky and make the yellow river overflow，my sword isfamous in Kyushu and it can collapse the five sacred mountains.” At some time inthe past I also had am bitious words and I had some achievements. Eachachievement results from my hard work. I always believe that “If you want tohave more achievements than others，you must work harder.” In some extent，thedream is the hope. If you can insist on doing something，the victory will e.
Hold fast to dreams，for if dreams die，life is a broken'winged bird thatcannot fly. Hold fast to dreams，for when dreams go，life is a barren fieldfrozen with snow. So my dear friends，think of your old and maybe dead dreams.Whatever it is，pick it up and make it alive from today. Let's" move"out!
Thank you for your listening!
Hello，ladies and gentlemen! It is my honor to share my topic with youhere. And my topic is Time Is Valuable.?? Time flies. The article cong cong ofZhu Ziqing also tells us time is rare. We all know that：Time is life，at homewe have parents advisement，at school we have teachers advisement. But whotreasures time as life?
Now let’s enjoy a story：One day a young man visited great educatorBanjieming. When Banjieming opened the door，to the young man’s great surprise.：his house was very dirty. “I’m sorry，It’s too dirty. Wait a minute please.Banjieming said and closed the door.
One minute later，Banjieming opened the door again and said：come in please. This time what the young man saw was a clean and clear sitting room.
“OK，You may go now. Banjieming said，“But I，I havn’t remit to you”. Theyoung man asked. “Isn’t it enough? Looking at the room，“ Banjieming said. “Youhave been here for one minute.” “One minute? One minute，Oh I know. You tell mea truth：We can do many things in a minute.” The young man left withsatisfaction.
The story is short but meaningful. Just like the story says：
one minute isn’t long. But our life is made of such minutes. In fact onlytreasure time，will you succeed，only treasure time，will you realize yourideal. Only treasure time will you achieve what you want.
We should make good use of time to study hard or to do something meaningfulfor yourself. So，we should plan the time to study and relax，especially at usewe have more free time at home，so that we can use that time to do a lot ofthings.
However，how can we plan the time? There are different ways for differentexample，somebody like to study in the morning，and relax in the the contrary，somebody like to relax in the morning，and study in the body even think the besttime to study is in the erent ways for different all the ways have one thing incommon.
That is the need for practical action. If you want to change a difficultsituation，if you want to change yourself，if you want to make good use of timeto study，you must put into not，your plan will be not meaningful.
So dear fiends，please treasure every minutes of your life. Only like thiswill you have an excellent future. Thank you very much.

Life is a process of growing up. Saying goodbye to childhood，we step intoanother important time of life‘the youth’ver，who can really say what the youthis ? A period of time? A belief? An attitude to life? Or anything else? We don’tknow.
A famous poet said ‘ youth is a lovely song，where nothing is impossible ;youth is a meaningful book，you’ll be never bored of it ;youth is a rapid river，it keeps on flowing day and night ;youth is a cup of tea，it shows youdifferent kinds of tastes in your life. ’
As youth is so precious，of course，we must treasure it ’t let the limitedtime pass by，leaving nothing of significance to our future. Actually，youth hasa lot to do with our future. It’s necessary for us to prepare ourselves well forthe future to come. So，what should we do? Here，I’ll point out some tips tohelp equip ourselves.
First of all，recognize the direction of your future. In other word，thinkof what you’d like to be some day. A teacher ? A doctor ? A writer? Don’t afraidof thinking big and great e you are young，you can dream of doing anything andbecoming anyone in the future
What’s more，never ignore the power of knowledge. Read more books andtravel around. For one thing，it can increase your knowledge，for another，it’llbroaden your horizon.
Last but not the least，stick to your dream. It easier said than done.After all，future is not all roses. So，we should have enough courage anddetermination to overcome all the difficulties.
I firmly believe one sentence that‘If you think you can，of course youcan!’Just believe we can make it! Keep on walking towards our dream. Flyingyouth，master our future. From today，from now on，from xxx Middle School !Ready ?
That’s all. Thank you so much for your attention !
ladies and gentlemen，boys and girls，
i am chinese. i am proud of being a chinese with five thousand years ofcivilization behind. i‘ve learned about the four great inventions made by ourforefathers. i‘ve learned about the great wall and the yangtze river. i‘velearned about zhang heng and i‘ve learned about zheng says the yellow rivercivilization has vanished?i know that my ancestors have made miracles on thisfertile land and we‘re still making miracles. who can ignore the fact that wehave established ourselves as a great state in the world，that we have devisedour own nuclear weapons，that we have successfully sent our satellites intospace，and that our gnp ranks no. 7 in the world? we have experienced theplunders by other nations，and we have experienced the war. yet，based on suchruins，there still stands our nation----china，unyielding and unconquerable!
i once came across an american tourist. she said，―china has a history offive thousand years，but the us only has a history of 200 years. five thousandyears ago，china took the lead in the world，and now it is the us that isleading.‖ my heart was deeply touched by these words. it is true that we‘restill a developing nation，but it doesn‘t mean that we can despise ourselves. wehave such a long-standing history，we have such abundant resources，we have suchintelligent and diligent people，and we have enough to be proud of.
reasons to say proudly：we are sure to take the lead in the world in thefuture again，for our problems are big，but our ambition is even bigger，ourchallenges are great，but our will is even greater.
i am chinese. i have inherited black hair and black eyes. i have inheritedthe virtues of my ancestors. i have also taken over responsibility. i am sure，that wherever i go，whatever i do，i shall never forget that i am chinese!
