Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I'm here today to share a good lesson with you. It is a true story about an overseas student in Germany.
After years of hard work, this student graduated with amazing achievements. Everyone thought he was going to get a good easily and have a bright future. But to his disappointment, he was not even given the
for an interview! The third time he was refused, he couldn't help telephoning the company to ask
they didn't want him. The answer was simple. " We don't offer jobs to
people in Germany."
What was wrong, you might wonder? The truth is, shortly after he arrived in Germany, this clever student found that it was to skip buying subway tickets. So
save money, he often went without a ticket. As a result, he had been caught without a ticket in the subway
times.
From this story, we learn that we may get short-term benefits in dishonest ways, but the truth will sooner or later and the cost is high. So remember: honesty is the
rule.
That's all for my speech. Thank you!

At present, quite a few teens spend much time with their iPods listening to music, but a new study suggests that teens who spend too much time listening to music may be at risk of depression (抑郁症).
The study, led by Brian, an assistant professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, that teens who listened to music more often had 80% higher risk of depression,
with teens who listened to music less often.
According to the study, teens who most often listened to music could listen for at least four five hours a day.
“At this point, it’s not clear depressed people begin to listen to more music to escape, or whether listening to large amounts of music can lead to depression, or
,” said Brian in a statement. However, researchers found that reading books had the
result: with increase in time spent reading, teens’ risk of depression dropped 50%.
For the study, the researchers 106 teens of 7 to 17 for two months. According to the survey, music showed strong associations (联系) with
depression risk. But that doesn’t
mean that music causes depression — for some depressed teens, music may even help.

“Mommy, am I special?” asked nine-year-old Ali.
“How special do you want to be?” asked his mother.
“Like the inventor of the computer,” Ali.
“Well, you are always special to me if you did not invent the computer,” said his mother.
Ali felt happy every time his mother said he was special. But deep inside, Ali really wanted to be someone .
Ali said, “Mommy, almost all of my best friends to have something that makes themselves special. Kimberly is top in math. Nigel is the
football player in my class. Gopal is the fastest runner in the school. When it comes to drawing, Rajoo won first prize in the city drawing competition three days
…”
“Ali, you should be pleased with yourself. You’re friendly and polite. You’re healthy,” said his mother, as if she knew he was thinking.
“Thanks, Mommy, but I really want to be special and do something different. I don’t want to be an ordinary person.”
“Dear, when I was your , I also wanted to do something special and make myself different. But I’ve realized that a simple life is a true life and a peaceful life is a happy life.
an ordinary person is great.”
Ali lost in thought.

Nowadays, the hazy (雾霾的) weather often in our country. It has not only affected the public transportation but also done great
to people’s health. Terrible
happen every now and then. Some freeways are shut down because of the low visibility (能见度). In Nanjing, schools had to close because of the hazy weather last December.
Obviously, air pollution is the ( cause that has resulted in (导致) the terrible weather. People don’t pay much attention to the environment, so the
between nature and human beings is lost.
People have started to consider how to protect on hazy days. They try to avoid outdoor activities and wear expensive masks to
away from haze while going out. But actually, no one can really keep away from it
they wear masks or stay inside. Haze is everywhere around the city.
Haze is a warning. It warns us to take action to make our Earth a better place. If Earth is too for us to live on, what should we do? Maybe we have to be
on Mars.
