in the matter of courage we all have our limits. there never was a hero who did not have his bounds. i suppose it may be said of nelson and all the others whose courage has been advertised that there came times in their lives when their bravery knew it had come to its limit.

i have found mine a good many times. sometimes this was expected--often it was unexpected. i know a man who is not afraid to sleep with a rattle-snake, but you could not get him to sleep with a safety-razor.

i never had the courage to talk across a long, narrow room. i should be at the end of the room facing all the audience. if i attempt to talk across a room i find myself turning this way and that, and thus at alternate periods i have part of the audience behind me. you ought never to have any part of the audience behind you; you never can tell what they are going to do.

i'll sit down.

ladies and gentlemen: my topic is honesty.

as a correspondent of the qingdao morning news, i visited dr. james gilman, the president of the international committee for marco polo studies in england. in this picture, this is james, and this is me and we are looking at a dragon’s tooth. this is a true story.

65 years ago, james lived in qingdao. then he was only 5 years old. he often visited the aquarium and was fascinated by a creature on display there, which he thought was a dragon. he was afraid of its sharp teeth and wanted one to keep as a treasure.

in the late 1930s, when the japanese occupied qingdao, his family had to leave. on his last day in qingdao, he ran to the aquarium and pulled out one of the teeth from the dragon’s mouth.

he kept the tooth for the next 65 years, but the feeling of guilt at having stolen it was there in the background all through his life. it was always on his conscience, and the feeling intensified as he became older. finally he decided to put right his childish error. in 20xx, he visited qingdao and returned it to the aquarium with his sincere apologies. he received a warm welcome.

when james visited qingdao, i accompanied him all the time and reported on his visit. i was deeply touched by his honesty. it has taught me a lot. i think to err is human. the important thing is to have the courage to admit and correct one’s error.

honesty is a vital quality of human behaviour. so we should try to keep an honest mind in everything we say and do. i would like to say to all of my friends: let’s be honest people of good moral character.

thank you.

good afternoon,ladies and gentlemen，

i’m wang from class*grade*.it’s my pleasure to stand here today to talk about my school—dalian no.9 middle school.

two years ago,when i first stepped into no.9 middle school,i immediately fell in love with it. it is a beautiful school.the buildings are new and the walls are covered with wild roses that dazzle theeyes in the bee-humming air. i’ve thought of it often.how the grass turns green in the springtime,and how the mocking birds flutter their tails and sing,how the moon shines down on the building,how the cuckoo waltz rings out the precious short-lived hours,how the teenagers in bright summer dresses promenade the grassy lawn.

during these two years，my teachers have given me unconditional support,and have given their words of encouragement in good times and their words of consolation in difficult moments.they have always given me alittle more than i asked for and instilled in me the values and principles that govern my life now.it’s the teachers’ instruction here that tells me the art of living is to know when to hold fast and when to let go.the rabbis of old put it this way “a man comes to the world with his fist clenched,but when he dies,his hand is open.” i’ve learned a lot from my classmates and friends,we have overcomed many difficulties.they have always been optimistic and humorous.when my feet hurt,they all cared about me and some of them offered to help me up and down stairs.we play together,we learn together and we grow up together.it’s the help between our classmates that tells me how to love my life.however mean life is ,meet it and live it.it’s the school motto that tells me to improve myself,seek truth and develop innovations.

i love my school because of all this,besides,there is something more than i can say.

to end my speech ,let’s all give our best wishes to thefurther development of our campus! thank you.

as everyone knows, people can get much information through the internet. meanwhile, people are also clearly aware of its disadvantages, but some children don’t realize they sometimes make friends with bad people online.

in my opinion, people can use the internet to make friends, download useful materials and go shopping online.

it’s really very helpful. however, there are also many disadvantages about the internet.

if you can’t use it correctly, it may be harmful to you. in junior middle school, i was once crazy about playing online games and i couldn’t control myself.

as a result, my study results were getting from bad to worse. besides, if you believe whatever your friends say online, you will be cheated by them some day, i think.

as a student, we should spend more time on studying and less time on the internet. of course, if we can control our time of surfing the internet, we surely can use it after school.
