Honorable judges, dear boys and girls,good afternoon!

It is my honour to have the opportunity to deliever a speech here.Today my

topic is that“No imagination no invention”.As we know, imagination is the power

of invention,many inventions just begin with the sparking of imagination.

There is no doubt that if you could not imagine so many good inventions

would not arise. Lenin said: Imagination is extremely valuable

qualities.Imagine, if not, the world will be how to, perhaps can only be a

gray.Have imagination is the root cause of human stronger than other animals.No

imagination of human development and progress will not have any.Einsteins

theory of relativity can find because of his childlike imagination. Jobs created

Apple, but also from his simply idea and refined imagination.

But, nowadays, people gradually lose their imagination, or the imagination

of people have been killed.Under the exam-oriented education，only the standard

answer is correct, the deviated answer is wrong.This causes scores become the

dominant factor,so student had to give up their imagination,began to rote

memorization.To realize Chinas dream and the national rejuvenation, can without

imagination?

If people stopped fantasy, then this is a real sign of the decline of

humanity. Imagination is the basis for the creation of the invention. With bold

Imagination, science was evolving, with rich imagination, before the era of

constantly advancing. We should protect childrens imagination and develop their

creativity. China may create a dream realized.

尊敬的评委们，亲爱的同学们，下午好!

很荣幸有这样一个机会在这里演讲，今天我演讲的题目是:“No imagination no

invention”。众所周知，想象力是发明创造的动力，许多发明都是由想象的闪现开始的。

毫无疑问的说，如果没有想象，如此多优秀的发明就没有出现的可能。列宁说过：想象是极其可贵的品质，设想一下，如果没有想象，世界将会怎样，也许只会是一片灰色。拥有想象力是人类强于其他动物的根本原因。没有想象力的人类将不会有任何的发展与进步。爱因斯坦之所能发现相对论，就是因为他的童真的想象力。乔布斯创造了苹果，也来源于他的简约理念和脱俗的想象力。

但是，现如今，人们渐渐失去了想象力，或者说人们的想象力在不断被扼杀，应试教育下，只有标准答案才是正确的，偏离答案就是错的，这使分数成了主导因素，学生不得不放弃自己的想象，开始死记硬背，试问要想实现中国梦和实现民族复兴，没有想象力行么?

如果人们停止了幻想，那么这就是人类衰落的真正征兆。想象力是创造发明的基础。有了大胆的创想，科学才不断发展，有了丰富的想象，时代才不断前进。我们应该保护孩子们的想象力，发挥他们的创造性。为中国梦的实现创造可能。

Dear Mr. Cao

Hello!

Today, I would like to recommend to you a picture book of traditional

Chinese festivals, Spring Festival.

Spring Festival is the most grand, the most lively and the most important

ancient traditional festival in China. Every Spring Festival, we paste couplets,

red window decorations, and "pour" blessing. But why should the word "Fu" be

pasted upside down? It turns out that the word "Dao" and "Dao" are homophonic,

and vice versa is Fu "Dao". Its like "Fu" is home.

During the Spring Festival, we should not only paste couplets, red window

decorations and "pour" happiness, but also set off firecrackers and fireworks,

and wear red clothes. After reading this book, I realized that there was a

monster called Nian in ancient China. It went to the village to eat cattle,

sheep, chickens, pigs and people every year. Until one year, an old grandfather

who came to the village to beg lived in his wifes house when the villagers went

to avoid animals in the cave. When the "Nian" beast came, he set off

firecrackers in the yard and came out wearing a big red robe. In this way,

"Nian" beast was scared away. Since then, people have pasted couplets, red

window decorations and "Daofu" on their doors. They also set off firecrackers

and fireworks, and put on red clothes. If you are interested, dont read this

book.

Then there is the new years money. Every year on the eve of the Spring

Festival, adults give children lucky money. The original purpose of lucky money

is to suppress evil and expel evil spirits. Because people think that children

are vulnerable to the invasion of ghosts and insects, they use new years money

to drive away evil spirits and help children celebrate the new year safely. I

wish the children good health, good luck and peace in the new year. There is

also an old legend. This legend has something to do with a little demon called

"Sui". You will know after reading this book.

In a word, after reading this book, I gained a lot and also felt the spirit

of Chinese traditional culture. So I want to share with you, hope you will like

it!

wish

Happy new year and good health!

Dear Sir,

I saw your advertisement for

Imagine my surprise when all I got in return was a box of matches! I could understand a mistake. I might even pardon a joke. But in this case, your advertisement is a deliberate lie since a friend of mine who also sent the coupon got the same result.

I think its a shame to promise an economical lighter when in fact you are not selling a lighter a1 all. Instead of saying it works quickly, you should admit that you are offering matches. And what about

I regard your advertisement as a serious deception and demand that you send me my money back immediately. Otherwise I will take active steps to make sure the Consumers Association hear about it.

Yours faithfully,

Peter Li

Dear Editor,

I’m a builder. When other builders and I laid a foundation of a building,

we dug out some ancient cultural relics.

At that time, some people suggested we sell them so that we could get some

money. But I didn’t agree with them because I think these cultural relics are

our country’s wealth.

As Chinese people, we should protect them. So I told the other builders we

shouldn’t sell them, because cultural relics represent a country’s culture and

history. Besides, we should donate these culture relics to our country in case

they might be sold abroad secretly. We shouldn’t lose them.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

Friend plays important role in our lives. Everyone needs his or her own

friends. Some people make friends easily but some do not. And “friend” means

differently to people. Some people think friends should stay together all the

time, but some others think that share and support is the real meaning of

friend. From my point of view, friend is the person who will always be with you

no matter what happens. It’s the person who can share your happiness as well as

sorrows.

I like travelling very much， this years winter vacation I went to wuxi，

Shanghai， wuzhen and zhouzhuang， really appreciate the beauty of them!

Wuzhen is the place where I was like， it is so quiet， so has the charm， let

a person fondle admiringly! It has the very big difference and zhouzhuang，

although is "small bridge， flowing water， somebody elses style， but the quiet

wuzhen is zhouzhuang not comparable! Wuzhen is not so busy， zhouzhuang so noisy，

but its style is one big scenery!

Listening to zhouzhuang singing tune， let I as if place oneself in the old

jiangnan dragon boat， a beat my heart a position. There is no noise， only the

sweet ship tune! This is shen three thousand hometown -- zhouzhuang! Beautiful

river， ancient， and with a style of old bridge， guarded the beautiful land of

this one party!

Todays wuxi， let me have to admire it， though the beautiful night view

than Shanghai， but it is also the mainland top ten charm city! The charm of it

is still in the scenery around it. For example： li garden， three kingdoms city，

water margin and Tang Cheng beautiful scenery of wuxi city， it is no wonder that

wuxi would be so charming. Shanghai is a city that never sleeps， this word is

true. On the beauty of the bund， looking at star of the Oriental pearl tower， a

kind of want to stay in Shanghai， live in Shanghai will be instantly. In the

Oriental pearl tower in Shanghai at night is really an enjoyment， sparkling the

huangpu river， those dots of lights， and there will be a very romantic feeling!

I live in the hotel in nanjing road， visit the store every night， feeling really

very good!!!!!!

Each and every one has different opinions on each place scenery， want you

to personally experience in all things.

THE ONLY MAGICAL THING----Map There was only one thing in the world that

wanted to play, and that guy’s name was Jack. He wanted to be a pirate one day,

and found treasure in pirate islands… He had a conversation with his mother one

day for certain. It was about being a pirate one day for once in his

lifetime…

“Mom, I want to be a pirate one day, and find treasures in buried islands

and…” “Whoa! Hold there son, what do you mean by, you what to be a pirate?”

asked his mother, “Well it is that I just want to hunt for treasure instead of

just being a regular boy like usual…”

His mother laughed so very hard, “Then why don’t you ask the sorcerer of

the wicked castle?” his mother suddenly added, “What do you mean of: Wicked?”

“Well,” replied her mother, “It all happened in…” “Wait!” shouted Jack, “There

is no time for you to explain the whole thing, if you could show me this ‘Wicked

castle’ then I could be a pirate sooner or later.

And so his mother showed him a riddle clue, which had many words written on

it, “All you have to do is answer the riddles and you will arrive at your

destination;” so Jack took the map, and head out for the wicked castle

immediately, “Now let us see, two choices to make; which one is it that I need

to take?” then he suddenly felt a little twinkle among his eyes, he looked at

the map; “That’s it!” he opened the map and placed it upon him. “Now, I just

need to figure this one out.”

He read it out loud, “Choose the path that has round hard things the most…”

then he thought about it, he looked at each side; first, he checked the left;

“There is nothing very hard on this side, or even round!” the he checked the

other side, known as the right; “Look, there is a pile of rocks here, they are

very hard; and round, and there are plenty of them!”

He walked to the right, and then he went straight on. At last he came to a

big castle, it has many traps; and so Jack decided to use the map and find clues

so that he won’t get lost…

He first came to the front door, and then he opened the map, read the

riddle; “Watch out for the monster, with two pairs of wings; and come in the

spring, it is giant, I warn you…” then he answered, “The only flying thing that

has two pairs of wings is a dragon fly!” when he said “Dragonfly”

d-r-a-g-o-n-f-l-y; a giant dragonfly flew past his eyes!

“Whoa!” shouted Jack, he then read the riddle, “look around you; use the

one, as sharp as a knife;” Jack looked around himself, then he found a big sharp

needle; it was huge! He used all his might and picked it up, and then he sprang

it to the monster. The monster fell down immediately, as if dead.

Then Jack had beaten the giant ‘Dragonfly’d-r-a-g-o-n-f-l-y, he was ready

to see the sorcerer. He was casting a spell when Jack came in, he interrupted

him; and so the sorcerer shouted, “What are you doing stranger?” he asked, “Can

you make me a pirate?” “What! Nobody has ever done that spell before;

never!”

And so Jack had to keep on being a normal boy, he was satisfied sometimes,

but also was glad that he didn’t turn into a pirate. “The map is ‘the only

magical thing’ in this world…

During the years of suffering, a super hero called Maze was facing the war

of the Americans. One day he was planning a vacation, that was going to be

amazing; when a big giant octopus attacked the whole city…

He had no choice but to stop his vacation, and to stop the octopus. He was

transforming into a big octopus, and ready to battle Maze. Maze was ready; he

got his sword and shield ready for battle. When he came, everybody cheered for

him; the octopus was not very happy…

He used his legs and arms and kicked Maze right up into the air. Maze said

to the people; “I have a plan, but I’ll need you guys to help me with it;”

everybody agreed to help Maze, and so they all gathered around to listen to

Maze’s plan. He said to the people, “I need a person, to help and pull a string;

that way, when the giant octopus reached me, you guys just pull the string, and

it will trip; then I will need a guy that is good at tying knots, that is when

the giant octopus trips, that guy will tie his up and give it to me; then rest

of the problems I will deal with it…”

Everybody agreed to his magnificent plan, and so they got to work. First

Maze went to get a very long string, and gave it to two people that were very

good at strength to pull it, instead of pulling it let us make it that Maze’s

plan was not at length that good, for the octopus knew all about his plan; and

so could very easily pass the test…

When they failed, Maze thought about this problem; they all knew that the

octopus it always listening to their plans. Now what? Well since Maze could tell

the other people his plan, he had decided to show them his plan. He drew it on a

piece of white paper, and showed it to the people, he made some moves of how it

was done; they all understood, but the giant octopus didn’t. His plan was the

same, but the giant octopus didn’t know it.

He decided to be careful, but he couldn’t, because the string was

invisible; instead of the string part, Maze changed it into plastic paper; that

way the giant octopus couldn’t see what they were up to; this plan was good, but

let us see how it ends.

Then two men were pulling the plastic, the plastic paper broke; and so

maybe Maze didn’t think it all the way through. He changed a magnificent plan:

First of all, some people distract the giant octopus; and then Maze tied his

legs and arms; and threw him into the ocean, where he was gone and 100 percent

drowned with his legs and arms tied behind his back.

And so Maze saved the day once again, and when his mom and dad returned

home; they were very proud of him. But maze was still sad, his mom and dad

asked; “What is the matter Maze?” “Well, I did save the day Hooray! But I still

didn’t get a chance of relaxing like little children, they were like holidays!”

then his mother and father decided to hold him a holiday celebration, and lived

happily ever after.

The octopus did return, and it was all to his mom the scientist. Maze did

defeat him again and again; until the octopus was tired, he knew that he was not

the guy to beat Maze, so he changed his mind and left the city and gave lived to

Maze’s fans in peace.

Dear Parents,

Ii. Matters needing attention during holidays for students and parents

1.

As the saying goes,if you have great talents,industry will improve them;if

you have but moderate abilities,industry will supply their deficiency.This

saying reflects the importance of diligence.The life of a lazy man is of no use

to both himself and others.What’s worse,the man who is too lazy to work is more

likely to beg or steal.Therefore,everyone should be diligent when he is

young.

Diligence is the key to be useful. "Are frequently compensated with good

training, a hard points to", only diligent, can get good grades.

From my point of view,diligence is of great significance in one’s life and

career.The story of Hua LuoGeng is a case in point.Hua luogeng is due to the

diligence, to become a famous mathematician.Hua luogeng in jintan county, home

is very poor in childhood, dropping out of school at home, very early to help

his father miscellaneous shop for a living, but he never give up the pursuit of

mathematics. At eight o clock every night, go home after good accounts, to

study their favorite mathematics, often study late into the night. In this way,

day after day, year after years efforts, hua luogeng finally got a chance to,

when in tsinghua university math department assistant, he is very cherish the

hard-won learning opportunities, he like a duck to water, swam in the sea of

mathematics every day, give yourself only five or six hours of sleep time, it is

really hard to believe. Hua luogeng even developed after lights out, also can

the habit of reading. He, of course, there is no specific function, is just a

kind of logical thinking activity of the mind. Under the lamp, he took a book

and look at the topic to think for a moment, and turning in bed, close the

meditation, start, to solve the problem in your mind run into difficulties, then

turn off the bed, open the book for a while. In this way, a book can see ten

days, he you can finish it 2 days, otherwise cant sleep. Hua luogeng who is

considered the unusual assistant. After studying so hard to learn, later, became

a famous mathematician.For example,Isaac Newton was often laughed at by others

at primary school because of his poor performance in study,but he turned out to

be a great physicist through his persistent hard work.

We learn from hua luogeng, in the later study, should be hard work, hard

work, so as to achieve good results.

Dear Mr. Lu

double-sided stickers, cleaning the door, and being waved around by his

mother-in-law. On such a cold day, sweat glistened on the bald head with few

hairs. Every year, a clean mother would take a bath before lunch, and she was

also known as getting rid of the old and welcoming the new year, washing away

the discomfort and worries of a year, and having a fresh and refreshing new

year. What about me? I write to you to report these in this happy busy life, and

let my beloved teacher LV stay at home and feel a different new years

Your Daughter

Yao teacher:

You are a red candle, burning the most passionate torch in our hearts. Just into the fourth grade, you are very strict with us, your face of seriousness in my opinion is not used to, because we from the first grade began to be spoiled, spoiled, often lawless. You come, such eyes, such majesty, as if to shock everyone. Everyone again. Also not noisy, after class no longer chase dozen, we are like a new man, we can no longer not be in a temper. We have come to understand that it is for our good that you are strict with us.

Spring silkworm to dead silk, candles into ash tears began to dry. Teacher, you have been working silently in your own ordinary job for 25 years. How many outstanding talents have you cultivated? No one can count. Someone said to see the word such as people, my words have been written not good, is your patience and write in my exercise book some words of encouragement to remind me, therefore, my words slowly beautiful. It gives me a lot of confidence. "A teacher is a true seed, a messenger of good, a banner of beauty, the embodiment of love." There is nothing wrong with this remark. You run between school and home every day.

Once, your sons severe fever caused pneumonia. In the afternoon, family members called to urge you to go to see, although you are anxious, but in order to dozens of students in the school, but still did not go. When you get off work, your husband asks you, "Is your student important or is your son important?" You say: "All important." Then you explained slowly to your husband, Its enough to take care of your son by yourself. But what if there were so many students at school? You walk out of the room and look at your son, who is sallow and coughing, with tears streaming down his face, and you say, "Jack, Ive been a bad mother." You always make choices in bitterness, and you make the choices that came before you. With the persistent pursuit of career and the sincere heart of loving students, you have composed an ordinary and moving song with consistent diligence and enterprising spirit. Teacher I know your health has been bad, for us you also have to take care of yourself. I will repay you with my progress in study and live up to your expectations. In the New Year, I sincerely wish you good health! Students all over the world!

Ali Baba quickly got as many bags of gold as his mules could carry, and

then put them in the sack; after that he placed the wood upon the gold so firmly

that the gold couldn’t be seen.

Then Ali Baba rode home with his mules, and carried the wood with bags of

gold into the house. After placing them on the floor, his wife came out with

porridge, “How are you today?” and his wife; Ali Baba smiled, “Better than

usual,” then he quickly poured the wood out, and under it was bags of gold. Ali

Baba’s wife was also astonished to find their good fortune. Ali Baba was pleased

as well.

His wife loved the gold so much, that she wanted to know how many pieces

there were. After dinner, his wife began to count, but Ali Baba stopped her and

said, “Wife, as much as it is to hear but you will never finish counting; if you

don’t finish today and wait for tomorrow then you will have to start from

scratch again.”

“You are right husband, but I still want to figure how much we have. How

about this, I will go to your brother Cassim’s house and borrow a measure, and

then measure how much we have, okay?” Ali Baba agreed, for he was almost the

person in the world to find out how much they have.

And so the next morning Ali Baba’s wife went to Cassim’s house to borrow a

measure, Cassim’s wife came out and said, “Sister, we have lots of measures; you

are welcome to borrow any one of them.” And then she went to the basement, and

got a bag of measure, and then Ali Baba’s wife picked one and went back to her

house. When she approached, she knelt down and began to measure. After a short

time, she went to Cassim’s house again to return the measure, not noticing that

one piece of gold coin stuck to the bottom of the measure. “Here you are

sister,” she said as she put the measure down, “I have finished using it.” And

then went away.

Cassim’s wife did not take long to realize the piece of pure gold coin. She

took it off and called Cassim, “Husband, I know you suspect that you are a rich

fellow; but your brother Ali Baba is ten times as rich as you, he does not count

his money; but measures them.”

Cassim looked at the gold coin and knew at once, “Ali Baba just pretended

that he was a poor fellow and borrows anything we have,” Cassim was not even

pleased at his brother’s good fortune, but was the opposite. And then Cassim led

his wife to Ali Baba’s house, “Ali Baba, tell me, where did you get all of this

good fortune.” At that moment, Ali Baba knew that the secret had been spread

though his own wife’s stupidity. “Look Ali Baba, if you don’t tell me where you

got this gold; I shall tell everybody, and not only will you get no more, but

you will have no more gold in the rest of your life! Ha!” laughed Cassim.

And so Ali Baba told him where he found the gold, and even the words he

knew of how to make the door open and shut. And so Cassim woke up early the next

morning, and took with his ten donkeys to fill the gold. He arrived at the place

where Ali Baba had told him, and pronounced these words, “Open Sesame!” the door

instantly opened wide, and inside of course; he found a chamber of pure gold,

and in it was gold.

Cassim filled as many bags of gold as he wanted. But when the robbers

arrived he was still filling. When the robbers found out, they used their swords

and soon killed him.
