Learn How to Say No

We've all been taught that we should help people. It is the right thing to do and will make us popular with others. It may even win us favors in return. However, we must be realistic. We can't say yes to every request. If we did, we would fail or go crazy for sure. Sometimes we simply don't have the time to help. In this case, we must know how to say no politely.

When we need to say no, here is one method we can try. First, we should tell the truth. If we really can't do something, we should just say so. Second, we should remember to refuse requests politely. We must communicate clearly, but must also be sincere and sympathetic. A true friend will understand. Finally, we must not feel guilty about saying no. Sometimes refusing others is the right thing to do. It can save ourselves, and them, a lot of trouble. In short, we cannot please everyone all the time. Refusing favors is a part of life.

學習如何説不

我們都被教導説，我們應該要幫助別人。這是應該做的事，而且這樣做會使我們受人歡迎。它甚至會為我們贏得一些回報。但是，我們必須要實際一點。我們不能答應每一個要求。如果我們這麼做，我們就一定會失敗或發瘋。有時候我們確實沒有時間去幫忙。既然如此，我們就必須知道如何有禮貌地説不。

當我們需要説不的時候，有個辦法我們可以試試。首先，我們應該要説實話。假如我們真的辦不到某件事，我們就應該説不。第二，我們應該記得要客氣地拒絕對方的要求。我們必須清楚地表達，但態度也必須真誠並且表示同情。一個真正的朋友會諒解的。最後，我們不必為了説不而覺得有罪惡感。有時候拒絕別人才是我們應該做的事。它可以替我們自己和別人，都省下許多麻煩。總而言之，我們無法一直取悦每個人。拒絕請求是人生的一部分。

what would you do if you failed? many people may choose to give up. however, the surest way to success is to keep your direction and stick to your goal.

on your way to success, you must keep your direction. it is just like a lamp, guiding you in darkness and helping you overcome obstacles on your way. otherwise, you will easily get lost or hesitate to go ahead.

堅持你的方向

如果失敗了你會怎麼做?很多人可能會選擇放棄。然而，要想成功，最可靠的方法就是堅持你的方向和目標。

在通往成功的路上，你必須堅持你的方向。它就像一盞燈，在黑暗中為你指路，幫助你度過難關。否則，你很容易就會迷失方向或猶豫不前。

方向意味着目標。人生如果沒有目標，將一事無成。

你可以試着把你的目標寫在紙上，並制定實現目標的計劃。這樣，你就會懂得如何合理安排時間，如何正確地支配時間。而且你還要有這樣的信念：只要你一直堅持自己的方向，你就一定可以成功。

you will live every single day of your life with absolute passion, and youwill show your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take.

現在，立場堅定，身材高大，握拳，興奮，並大叫出來：

我必須這麼做!我能做到這一點!我將做到這一點!我會成功!

Our path in life will not always be smooth. Setbacks can't be avoided. Failing an important exam, break up with boy or girl friend, or refused by a promising company, such setbacks are likely to get us down. Sometimes we fell so frustrated that we even burst into tears.

Drinkin coke is wonderful, despite the undesirble consequent hiccups. It's bitter, sour and peppery, but also sweet. And you'll even feel excited after gulping down a glass. A college experience is part of growing up. We cry, smile, fall in love, get hurt, leave, learn and then we become a better person.

University life is like drinking coke. I'm experiencing it. And I know, I enjoy it!

A Loving Gentleness

愛的温柔

Do you know what a loving gentleness is like? Have you had a taste of it or shown it to others?

知道什麼是愛的温柔嗎?你曾經感受過它或者讓他人感受過嗎?

Surely you can get some idea of it from swallows under the eaves. They show it when they are busy flying to and fro to feed their nestlings. You can see it from the moon shedding cool light over the scorched land so that it becomes comfortable. You can also feel it when you listen to the clock ticking steadily, so considerate as not to disturb a sweet dream. Again you can find it in the heart of a young girl. She is charming because of her loving tenderness.

當然，你可以從屋檐下的燕子身上對愛的温柔有一些感悟，當它們匆匆忙忙地飛來飛去哺育巢中的雛鳥時，它們就顯示出了這種温柔。你可以從月光上看到這種温柔，它清泠的光輝映照在枯黃的大地上，讓人感覺到舒適。在聆聽鐘錶有條不紊的嘀答聲時，你也可以感覺到它，那聲音如此體貼，不忍驚醒任何一個甜美的夢。你也可以在年輕女孩的心中發現它，由於愛的温柔，她變得魅力四射。

It's also a picture of loving tenderness for a youngster playing a pampered child in his or her mother' lap. But later, the person is so much changed by fate that tenderness is gone together with values of life. Some people are born uncouth. But tossed by life's storms they become gentle and good-humored unexpectedly, like mushrooms sprouting from the root of the tree of life.

在媽媽膝下撒嬌的孩子也是一幅温柔的圖畫，之後，這個孩子在命運的支配下漸漸被改變，他的温柔也隨着生命的價值一同消逝。有些人生來就是粗魯不文的，但經過生命的暴風雨的洗禮，他會出人意料地變得温柔而親切起來，就像在生命之樹下面萌發出來的蘑菇。

True, gentleness or a tender care is often associated with love and kindness. It can also be found in a good- natured or broad-minded person. It is not fair to think that it has anything to do with weakness.

的確，温柔與關切通常與愛和善良結伴同行，在脾氣温和或心胸寬廣的人身上，也可以發現到這種品質。認為温柔與軟弱有關，是一種不公平的看法。

Gentle as spring breeze, it cracks the frozen river with its light touch. Soft as cotton, it renders a steel ball bouncing high from the ground paralyzed in its embrace. Similarly, tenderhearted as friendship, it melts the toughness of an ironwilled man and reduces him to grateful tears.

温柔就像春天的風，它輕柔的觸摸讓冰凍的河流開裂，它像棉絮一樣柔軟，從地上高高彈起的鋼球也會在它的懷抱中麻痺。同樣，温柔又像友誼，它能柔化一個有着鋼鐵般意志的男人，並讓他流下感動的眼淚。

A loving gentleness is too subtle to describe. Though it seems invisible, inaudible and evasive to the touch, it is still perceptible. It is the quintessence of kindness, enthusiasm, love and moral support. It gives strength and power. It is the source of beauty.

愛的温柔過於微妙，難以言傳，儘管它是看不見、聽不着、摸不到的，但它卻可以被人們感受到。它是善良、熱情、愛與美德的結晶，它帶來堅強與力量，它是美的源泉。

Spring, flowers, to outshine each other; In the summer, everywhere is fullof vitality; In the cool autumn, goldwind around the scene of bumper crops; Andwinter snow, vanity build by laying bricks or stones jade, it is my favouriteseason.

In winter, I like the snow, because learning can make the world becomevanity jade build by laying bricks or stones, like a girl with silver, verybeautiful. When it snows, glittering and translucent white snow or spread,flying, like a dandelion flying, dancing with wind; Just like the silverbutterflies with the wind from the dancing a waltz in the sky to the earth;Appears that willo white girl in for mother earth ornament... This is what abeautiful sight, how likeable, how relaxed and happy making a person!

After a heavy snow, in every corner of the world into a silvery white,particularly beautiful. Campus, everywhere is white. The children have asnowball fight with merriment, waves of happy laughter echoed in the campus.

The snow girl as cover crops in the fields thick quilt, make them have agood winter in his sleep.

In the woods, the snow girl pressure on the bare branches, for the treewrapped in a cloak, make the trees no longer appears bare, no longer drab.

Road, snow girl lying quietly, make line passing people feel the beauty ofthe winter, winter.

Hillside, snow girl for slopes put on cotton-padded jacket. From adistance, the hill were beautiful, sparkling in the sun.

In winter, the world became a silver; In winter, the world is full ofpoetic. I love winter!

翻譯：

春天，百花齊放，爭奇鬥豔;夏天，到處充滿了生機;秋天，金風送爽，到處一派豐收的景象;而冬天白雪皚皚，粉粧玉砌，是我最喜歡的季節。

冬天，我最喜歡下雪，因為學可以使世界變得粉粧玉砌，猶如一位披上銀裝的妙齡少女，十分美麗.下雪時，晶瑩潔白的雪花飄飄灑灑，漫天飛舞，像一個個蒲公英飛來飛去，隨風起舞;宛如一隻只銀色的蝴蝶隨着風從天空中跳着華爾茲來到了人間;又似一位位白衣少女在為大地母親點綴……這景象是多麼美麗，多麼令人喜愛，多麼令人心曠神怡啊!

一場大雪過後，世界的每個角落都變成了銀白色，分外美麗。校園裏，到處是白茫茫的一片。孩子們歡天喜地地打雪仗，一陣陣愉快的笑聲在校園裏迴盪着。

田地裏，雪姑娘為莊稼蓋上裏厚厚的棉被，使他們在睡夢中度過一個美好的冬天。

樹林裏，雪姑娘壓在光禿禿的樹枝上，為大樹裹上了一層銀裝，使大樹不再顯得光禿禿的，不再單調。

馬路上，雪姑娘靜靜地躺着，使路過的行人們感到冬的美麗，冬的愜意。

山坡上，雪姑娘為山坡穿上了棉襖。遠遠望去，那山坡晶瑩美麗，在陽光下閃閃發光。

冬天，把世界變成了銀白色的;冬天，使世界充滿詩意。我愛冬天!

Over the past couple of years， several cases of the food scandal have been disclosed on various media。 The problem of food security has bee a hot button across society。 The prevalence of food insecurity has greatly impacted public health， which the government could not afford to ignore， according to the online edition of the People Daily。 -

在過去的幾年中，幾起食品醜聞案件已經在各種媒體上披露。全社會的食品安全問題已經成為一個熱題。食品不安全的盛行已經大大影響了羣眾的健康，根據人民日報網絡版，政府不應當忽視這一問題。

There are a couple of driving forces， I would argue， behind this undesirable tide。 First， in the course of the rapid economic evolution， we ignore moral education， giving rise to the rising rate of the problem。 More importantly， the lack of adequate regulation and punishment on those illegal producers enforces the trend。 -

我認為這一不良行為的背後有很多驅動力。首先，在快速的經濟進化過程中，我們忽視了道德教育，從而導致了這一問題不斷上升。更重要的是，缺乏足夠的對那些非法生產者的監管和處罰加強了這一局面。

As Confucius instructed， it is better late than never。 Prompt and strict measures should be taken to turn back this evil trend。 The government should launch a massive moral campaign to educate all citizens and draw up tougher laws to crack down on those irresponsible corporations and prohibit them from entering the food industry again。 I am firmly convinced that through our bined efforts we are bound to enjoy more risk-free foods in the days ahead。-

正如孔子教導的，遲到總比不到好。我們應當採取及時嚴厲的措施來扭轉這一不好的局面。政府應當發起很多的道德運動以教育所有的市民，並制定更嚴厲的法律打擊那些不負職責的企業，並禁止他們再次進入食品行業。我堅信，經過我們的共同努力，我們必須會在未來的日子中享受更多的無風險食品。

Now, our life is very beautiful. Can you, ever, to a happy life today? It's soldiers with their own hot hot blood. The price is too big. Today, let's look at the past!

In the history of the Anti Japanese war in the article, I saw smoke billowing from the battlefield, Gunfire licks the heavens. One of the Eight Route Army covered with blood, sweat, struggling soldiers. Among mountains and woods, Qingsha Zhang, China under the leadership of the Communist Party of the anti-Japanese guerrilla athletes everywhere to be hero; yanlingdui, Wugong behind the team, railway guerrilla team, tunnel warfare, mine warfare, sparrow war...... The jiaokuang a Japanese invaders into a vast expanse of water in the people's war behind enemy lines. I also saw the 19 Route Army chief to accept the organization "death squads" before the departure of the instructions. Then, "one, two eight" of the war in Zhabei, the first burning. One of the 19 Route Army calmly. I also see war on January 27 afternoon, Japanese troops ready to fire on the news to live in North Sichuan Road in the vicinity of Shanghai residents have flocked to the concession of refuge. Finally, Cai Yankai commander Pro line......

Broadsword of Songhu battle in the 800 heroes loyalty medal, "bloody Taierzhuang" enemy, "battle of Wuhan" shoot enemy booty seized more than 3000 people of Wanjialing victory... In the early days of the Anti Japanese War, millions of troops of the Japanese attack were fighting on the front face, to the Japanese with a heavy blow, crushing the Japanese militarism "quick fix" dream.

"Anti Japanese is born, no resistance to death, for resisting Japan and saving the nation has become sacred duty of every fellow!" "Tianjin critical! North critical! Critical of the Chinese nation! Only the whole nation to implement the Anti Japanese War, is our way out." "Adheere to the Anti Japanese War, the persistence of a protracted war, the United Front, the final victory is bound to be China's."

The Communist Party of China, the first to blow the horn of resistance. 1937 "seven seven incident" outbreak. In the positive efforts of the Communist Party of China and the promotion, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to abandon scores together again, the Chinese nation comprehensive holy war from the prairie fire burning up.

This field in September 3, 1945 to win the victory of the war of the past completely different 110 years ago Jia Wu war. From the beginning of 1840 to the 105 years of the war of resistance against Japan, almost all of the large and small imperialist countries have invaded China, and we only won the victory of the years ago. It is nearly 100 years of poverty and weakness of China for the first time in a national survival war victory, the victory changed the destiny of the Chinese nation, awakened the sleeping for centuries in China.

The historian Chen Yinque once said: "in death, history can not be destroyed, because the History Compiling" my national spirit on the life and death of a big ". In 20xx, the victory of the war of resistance against Japan the xxth anniversary of the occasion, I understand the tragic and heroic history. As a Chinese student, no doubt, is duty bound, but it is a difficult to carry the task.

The students, the soldiers is such a throwing head, sprinkle blood, with sweat and blood for the new china. Let us not forget national humiliation, Study hard, become the future of the motherland a man of tremendous promise to revitalize the Chinese nation!

It is human nature that all of us should be fond of beauty. Everybody was born with a heart for beauty.

Today in China,with the rising of our living standard, people's requirement of beauty has been heightened accordingly. Some people spare no money or energy on beautiful clothes, fashionable hair styles,the decoration of their houses and even the improvement of their looks. But it seems to me,all these are more or less confined to the beauty in appearance,or rather,the outward beauty.

In my opinion,we shouldn't only pay attention to beautiful appearance and neglect the beautification of the mind and what we are after should be the perfect unity of the outward beauty and the inner beauty. As we all know,so far as objects and animals are concerned,there is only beautiful appearance to be mentioned, but to us humanbeings, although the outward beauty really matters, the inner beauty is much more important. This was confirmed by a famous Russian writer in words much like this: "A person is not lovely for being beautiful but beautiful for being lovely. "

Here, I'd like to quote two typical instances and I'm sure, my dear friends,from them you'll find out what real beauty is.

Recently I learned from the radio an unpleasant incident about a well known singer. She is very charming with a sweet beautiful voice and very famous for singing the song."Devotion of Love". Not long ago,she was invited to Zhejiang Province to give performance. The momentshe was to appear on the stage,she suddenly asked for more reward. Worse still,after her request was satisfied, she didn't begin to sing at once. Instead,she took her time to count all the money piece by piece. Thus she kept the audience waiting for half an hour. So when she at last showed up and started to sing "Devotion of Love",a man rose up from his seat and shouted at her,"You don't have any devotion of love. You are not qualified to sing this song ! "Hearing this, the singer stopped singing and began to shout abuses with her finger pointed at the man. At this time the whole audience burst into an uproar.

How disappointed her keen listeners were when they learned this! It is the singer herself who spoiled her beautiful image in the eyes of others.

Now, I'm coming to another true story. It's about a poor, ordinary looking old woman. She was a widow without any children, living barely from hand to mouth by picking odds and ends from rubbish heaps. However,she took in more than ten homeless orphans successively and managed to bring them up. Every day she labored from morning till night. In order to earn as much money as possible to raise the children and to keep them in school,she even went to a hospital regularly to sell her blood. She got so weak for the loss of blood that she sometimes fell in a faint on her way home.

When asked why she chose to burden herself with so many children,she smiled and simply answered,"Oh,I love children and I like to have their company. "

Though the old woman was poor materially, she was full of affection and rich in spirit. She was loved dearly by her children. She was also highly appreciated by the local government, and truly respected by people in her community.

Maybe you can't help wondering, "What makes that ordinary woman so extraordinary?" It is nothing else but her inner beauty, her true devotion of love without any thought of rewarding. What a sharp contrast there is between the great woman and the selfish singer

So,to answer the question "What is real beauty?", I declare definitely,it is the beauty lying in one's heart of hearts and embodied in his actions and deeds,that is,the inner heauty!

Good morning,ladies and gentlemen,today i am so happy to stand here to give you a rather, a real story of mine.

Though with time going by,i can still remember what you once told should be a brave ing,you looked into my in,year out,nearly most of my memories are fading little by only this simple sentence remained,without being forgotten in my life.

Again and again,i can not stop myself from thinking about ordinary,but so impressive,so moving,just like the brightest sunshine,it helps me go through the darkest night.I am such a sensitive girl in your said,my sorroful facial expression made feel so ver,there is one thing i never tell you,that is ,i am becoming a big girl gradually with your words and smiles.I never tell you about it,for i believe oneday,you can see the great changes of mine for is what i want to do in i know,that will be the best gift for you.

I suddenly think of a song named MY HEART WILL GO e is a beautiful sentence going like are safe in my than once,i was moved to tears by it.I know ,i am also safe in your heart.i have already forgotten when i told you i was going to leave for Australia this summer just smiled as usual,gently ever you decide to do,i will be in favor of it,but, just onething,remember,when you fell lonely abroad,do not forget we are here ,praying for are all around you,far across the distance and space between us.i closed my eyes,the flashback memories we had together,once we played games on the palyground,we played jokes on each other,you always wrote a lot of sentences on my articles to encourage the most unforgetable thing,you told me,you believed m i could be a big er or later.

At that specific moment,i suddenly understood the meaning of this sentence on that day,i smiled as you used to,looking at last words i said were,keep walking in sunshine.

Yes,keep walking in sunshine.I said to you ,also to myself.I know i am not alone wiht your company,and we can keep walking in sunshine till the last minute of our days.

I promise,i will be a big girl.

I promise,i will be a brave girl.

I promise,i will keep walking in sunshine.

That is my speech,thank you!

Honorable Judges, fellow students:

Good afternoon!

Recently, ther is a heated debate in our society. The college students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education at extraordinary places. But will we be able to face the challenge and support ourselves against all odds? Will we be able to better the lives of others? Will we be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of our country?

The cynics say the college students are the pampered lost generation, which would cringe at the slightest discomfort. But the cynics are wrong. The college students I see are eagerly learning about how to live independently. We help each other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take part time jobs to supplement our pocket money.

The cynics say we care for nothing other than grades; and we neglect the need for character cultivation. But again, the cynics are wrong. We care deeply for each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth. Last week, thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer.

As college students, we are adolescents at the critical turning point in our lives. We all face a fundamental choice: cynicism or faith, each will profoundly impact our future, or even the future of our country. I believe in all my fellow classmates. Though we are still inexperienced and even a little bit childish. I believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challenge and take on our responsibilities. We are preparing to assume new responsibilities and tasks, and to use the education we have received to make our world a better place. I believe in our future.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:

Today I would like to begin with a story. There was once a physical therapist who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a census about mountain gorillas. These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world; this put them severely under threat of poaching and being put into the zoo. She went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures. She witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we've ever been, where in the very depth of the African rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas cuddled their babies.

Yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called Gorillas in the Mist, based on a true story of Mrs. Diana Fossey, who spent most of her lifetime in Rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.

To me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our eco-environment.

Today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems. On the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go. It has become a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in GDP growth. It has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity. But on the other hand, many problems can occur - natural scenes aren't natural anymore. Deforestation to heat lodges are devastating Nepal. Oil spills from tourist boats are polluting Antarctica. Tribal people are forsaking their native music and dress to listen to U2 on Walkman and wear Nike and Reeboks.

All these appalling facts have brought us to the realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been eroding our resources. Encouragingly, the explosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the United Nations has made 20xx the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the world's attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our ecoenvironment.

Now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection organizations are receiving donations - big notes, small notes or even coins - from housewives, plumbers, ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and invalids. Some of them cannot afford to send the money but they do. These are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood. Why? Because they care. Because they still want their Mother Nature back. Because they know it still belongs to them.

This kind of feeling that I have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it , it's all coming from a scene to be remembered, a scene to recall and to cherish.

The other night, as I saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs. I found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to something else, someplace else, a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seemed to have been except the deer.

And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's time for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.

Once again, I have come to think of Mrs. Diana Fossey because it is with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.

And no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our minds, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.

Thank you very much.

In the future, more electric door guards will take the place of "door ladies."

The electric door guard operates under an IC card system, with students using IC cards to enter. Each resident student is issued an IC card with his/her personal information stored on it. Information like the card-holding student's name, major, grade, and even time of entry will be stored on their IC card. The door has also been equipped with a "digital eye" to take video 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

With the new "door guard" already on duty, students began to discuss the pros and cons of the latest renovation to their dorm in community forums.

Some complained that having to take their IC card everywhere is inconvenient, adding that the system is not always reliable. They noted times when the system failed to recognize them and they had to call repair workers to fix it.

Others say the former "door lady" was more flexible and gave them a sense of "home." Sometimes when a student had to stay out late, to study or for other business, the door lady would wait for them and let them in if they told her beforehand. Or when students' parents came to visit, the door lady would let them in. But now, all of these conveniences seem impossible.

Still, students admit that the electric door guard is much safer, as it prevents thieves as well as unwelcome salesmen from entering their dorm. In this way, the electric door guard has its own advantages.

The school's authorities say the new system needs some time to improve and that students need time to get used to it. The school has said it will consider the inconveniences brought along with the new door guard and attempt to solve them by other means. On the whole, the new system seems to be good for students living in the dorm building.
