Good morning,everyone! I`m very happy to have this chance to give my

presentation. Before I start my speech, please let me ask you a question. Do you

think you are confident in yourself? If you are, do please raise your hand.

My topic today is “ to Be a Confident Person.”

What is confidence? Confidence is to trust yourself. Confidence is to look

upon yourself. It is not to indulge in self-admiration. It is not to get

extremely arrogant. It is not to get dizzy with success or to be opinionated. It

is just to inspire yourself ahead of a quality of mind, in high spirit, full of

energy. It is to meet the challenges of life in a positive mood. It is to

overcome your inferiority, farewell, to get rid of the trouble of a a ready-made

panacea.

Remember, I have just entered junior high school. In the face of the

challenge of new environment, in the face of so many new courses and learning

contents, I lost faith in my own and gradually developed a psychological sense

of inferiority. Achievement glided ceaselessly. It is a teacher and mother who

encouraged me and let me regain confidence. Gradually, my grades got higher and

higher and everything began to go on well. Gradually I adapted to the life in

middle school.

Friends, lets say goodbye to inferiority. Let’s be a confident person.

Because: only if you have self-confidence, can you control yourself; only if you

have confidence, can you achieve success and create your a brilliant life of

your own!

大家好!

今天我演讲的题目是：做一个自信的人。

什么是自信?自信，就是自己信得过自己，自己看得起自己。它，不是孤芳自赏，也不是夜郎自大，更不是得意忘形和自以为是;而是激励自己奋发进取的一种心里素质，是以高昂的斗志，充沛的干劲迎接生活挑战的一种乐观情绪;是战胜自己，告别自卑，摆脱烦恼的一种灵丹妙药。

还记得，我刚刚升入初中时，面对新的环境，面对那么多的新的课程和学习内容，我对自己失去了信心，逐渐产生了自卑心理，成绩不断下滑，是老师和妈妈及时帮助我、鼓励我，让我重新找回自信。渐渐的，我的学习成绩及各个方面都有明显进步，逐渐适应了初中的生活。

朋友们，让我们告别自卑，做一个自信的人吧。因为：只有拥有自信，才能拥有自我;只有拥有自信，才能走向成功，才能创造自己辉煌的人生。

My teachers and some elderlypeople often praise me. They always say that I must have a bright future,because I like study very much. I really like study. The knowledge from the book attracts me so much. Every time I search the knowledge there, I feel very satisfied,excited and powerful. I like exploiting all knowledge. I don’t need anyone topush me to study. I just like it.

我的老师和一些长辈经常夸我有前途，因为我非常喜欢学习。我是真的很喜欢。书上的知识对我的吸引力很大。每次我在书中探索知识时，我都能感到满足，兴奋和有力量。所以，我喜欢去探索知识。我不用任何人逼我学习。我就是喜欢学习。

"Reading a good book is like talking to a man of noble." This winter holiday, I can not control their own curiosity, opened a "Notre Dame DE Paris", entered the author Victor Hugos inner world.

This book tells the story of two completely not an amazing stories of people all over the world.

Roams about the entertainer lada is a beautiful love, beauty. She not only looks beautiful, and a noble mind. When the poet grand hang a pivotal moment in the ancient kingdom of tile is going to be a beggar, she in the form of willing to marry him without hesitation and save the poet; When vice bishop crowe Hadley etc all kinds of despicable means to force her, she also shows unprecedented calm, she also to surrender, to show her the gallows in righteously...

Quasimodo is an extremely ugly deaf blind bell ringers. He was abandoned by the family and the society as a whole.

Fate gave him the chance to fall in love with love, beauty lada, but at the conclusion of his life, god opened a great joke with him -- in another world with love, beauty of love. Story is tragic, but they left spirit is eternal!

Yes, a person cant because their deficiency and desperate, more than the pursuit of beauty. We should learn to sincerely treat to others. Want to know to cherish life, respect for each and every one of the world.

“读一本好书，就象和一位高尚的人谈话。”今年寒假，我控制不住自己的好奇，翻开了《巴黎圣母院》，走进了作者雨果的内心世界。

这本书讲述了两个完全不是一个世界的人神奇故事。

爱斯美拉达是个美丽的流浪艺人。她不仅外表美丽，还有一颗高尚的心灵。当诗人格兰古瓦即将被乞丐王国绞死的关键时刻，她毫不犹豫地以愿意和他结婚的方式救下了诗人;当副主教克洛德利等用种种卑鄙的手段逼迫她时，她也表现出了前所未有的镇定，她还宁死不屈，在绞刑架前显出了她的大义凛然……

卡西莫多是个极其丑陋的聋瞎敲钟人。他遭到了亲人及整个社会的遗弃。但厄运不但没污染他的心，反而使他成为了一个善良的人。他多次救下了爱斯美拉达，还常帮助无家可归的孤儿。命运给了他爱上爱斯美拉达的机会，可上帝却在他生命结束之时跟他开了个莫大的玩笑——在另一个世界与爱斯美拉达相爱。故事是悲惨的，可他们留下的精神却是永恒的!

是啊，一个人不能因为自己先天不足而自暴自弃，更不能过分追求外表美。我们应该学会真诚地善待他人。要懂得珍爱生命，尊重世界上的每一个人。

Joy in living comes from having fine emotions, trusting them, giving them the freedom of a bird in the open. Joy in living can never be assumed as a pose, or put on from the outside a mask. People who have this joy don’t need to talk about it, they radiate it. They just live out their joy and let it splash its sunlight into other lives as nature as a bird sings.

生活的乐趣来源于良好的情绪，信赖这些情绪，并任由它们如鸟儿高飞于天空般的自由自在。生活的乐趣是无法靠姿态摆出来的，也无法用带上一张面具来伪装。拥有这种乐趣的人们无需挂在嘴上，他们自然会焕发出欢乐的气息。他们自己生活在快乐当中，也将这样的快乐自然而然的感染着他人，犹如是鸟儿就必将歌唱。

We can never get it from working for it directly. It comes, like happiness, to those who are aiming at something higher. It’s a byproduct of great, simple living. The joy of living comes from what we put into our living, not from what we seek to get from it.

直接追求生活的乐趣却只会使乐趣远离我们，它与幸福一样青睐胸有大志的人。生活过的高雅，简单就会产生出乐趣。它是我们对生活的投入，而非所求。

About eight o clock this morning, the snow started to fall, I stood at the window, watch the beautiful snow.

The snow cover the earth with a thick layer of carpet, as if afraid of the cold! Looked from a distance, "dancing silver snake among snowing mountains" seems to be turned into a pink outfit build by laying bricks or stones jade, full of poetic words meaning world. The tree has a lot of snow, like individual little yushu.

Snowy, the happiest or the children. Children can be happy to play in the snow, some snowball fights, make a snowman, snowball... The whole village immersed in laughter. Snow is a good friend of the children, their selfless dedication, brought happiness to children.

The snow was falling, the greater the like catkin, silver white, jade embellish, and clusters, swirl, flag fluttered, glowed with the silver beams of the cold. Ruthless, people often say that snow is ruthless, it just killing so many insects, preserves the growth of crops.

At this moment, a piece of snowflakes stick to a window, and immediately. Perhaps in snow stopped, soon. I really a little loathe to give up they melt. But, the snow will eventually. But it is short of "life" are able to protect plants, moist and clean air. I think it is the most selfless, it silently dedication to its "life". I think that human life is short, we should cherish.

What a beautiful snow!

今天早上大约8点多，下起了雪，我站在窗户里，观赏着这美丽的雪景。

雪儿们把大地盖上了一层厚厚的地毯，好像怕大地冷呢!远远望去，“山舞银蛇”好像变成了一个粉装玉砌，充满诗情话意的世界。门口的树上有许多雪，像一棵棵小玉树。

下雪天，最快活的还是孩子们。小朋友在雪地里玩的可高兴了，有的打雪仗，有的堆雪人，有的滚雪球……整个小区沉浸在欢声笑语中。雪儿是孩子们的好朋友，它们无私奉献，给孩子们带来了欢乐。

雪越下越大，如同柳絮一般，银一样的白，玉一样的润，一朵朵、一簇簇，纷纷扬扬、冉冉飘落，闪着寒冷的银光。人们常说雪无情，正是它无情，才冻死了那么多害虫，保住了庄稼的生长。

这时，一片雪花沾到窗户上，又立刻化了。雪也许会在停了以后，很快就化了。我真有点舍不得它们化掉。但是，雪终究会化的。但它短暂的“生命”却能够保护植物，湿润并清洁空气。我认为它是最无私的，它在默默地奉献着它的“一生”。我想，人的一生也是短暂的，我们要珍惜。

多美的雪啊!

Halloween

Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means "holy evening," and it comes every October 31, the evening before All Saints Day. However, it is not really a church holiday, it is a holiday for children mainly.

Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o-lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern".

The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house, they say,"Trick or treat! Money or eat!" The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags.

Not only children, but most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day,they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them. This bring them the satisfaction of being young.

万圣节前夕

万圣节前夕是美国人年年都会庆祝的秋季节日。它的意思是“神圣的夜晚”，在每年的10月31日，也就是万圣节前夜。但实际上这不是一个真正的宗教节日，而主要是孩子们的节日。

每年秋天蔬菜成熟可以食用的时候，孩子们就会挑出大个儿的橙色南瓜。然后在南瓜上刻上一张脸，把一根点燃的蜡烛放在里面。看起来就好像有人在向南瓜外面张望。这些灯就叫做“iack-o-lantems”，意思也就是“杰克的灯”。

每年万圣节前夕孩子们还戴上奇怪的面具，穿上吓人的服装。有些孩子把脸刷成怪物。然后他们拿着盒子或袋子挨家挨户串门。每来到一个新房子他们就说：“不款待就捣乱!给钱还是吃的!”大人们就会把用来招待的钱或糖放在他们的袋子里了。

不仅孩子，许多成年人也喜欢万圣节前夕和万圣节前夕晚会。因为这一天他们可以根据自己的想象把自己装扮成名流或幽灵。这会带给他们年轻的快感。

Serious Floods

The Yangzte River is the longest river in China. And its important and helpful to us Chinese. But these days the Yangtze River is bringing us serious floods.

Many villages were destroyed by floods. The floods made hundreds of millions of people lose their homes, relatives and friends. Many children cant go to school as usual .Now the foods have drawn the attention of the whole world. People from abroad have offered their help too. In China, millions of soldiers are busy fighting against the floods. They are working very hard. Many of them have lost their lives in their attempt to save the villagers.

Though we cant help them to fight against floods, we should help them to rebuild their homeland. We can present them our pocketmoney and clothes. I believe most of the people will return to their homeland in the near future.

At the beginning of May each year five China is the most traditional festival, the Dragon Boat festival.

In the festival, we get up early in the morning. Suddenly, I heard a smell of fragrance. I ran over to see it. What a big pot of zongzi! How sweet it is! Greedy dead me! Look at the next pot, wow! There is also a big basin of snowy white duck eggs and garlic. It looks lovely and I want to eat. Mom said, "hurry up and wash your face and brush your teeth." After I washed, I sat around the table. Dad put rice dumplings, duck eggs, eggs and garlic on the table. Our family finished our breakfast happily and cheerfully.

Then I went to the vegetable market with my father and mother to buy rice field eel and amaranth, and I asked my mother why I want to buy these things. My mother said, "this is the custom of Dragon Boat Festival". I still dont understand, but nodded. Later, my mother took me to buy some green grass to go home. Give me a bath with wormwood soaked mother, I asked why the mother with wormwood bath? Mother said, "because this mosquito doesnt sting you." The mother and the rest of the ed in the door, I asked my mother why the wormwood are ed in the door? Mom said, "because this mosquito will not fly to our house."

After the bath, my mother told me that there was another name called "dolls Day" on the Dragon Boat Festival. At last, mom wore colorful knits on my hands. Today, I know a lot of knowledge about five sessions. I am so happy.

the dragon boat festival is one of three major chinese holidays, along with the spring and moon festivals. of the three, it is possibly the oldest, dating back to the warring states period in 227 b.c. the festival commemorates qu yuan, a minister in the service of the chu emperor. despairing over corruption at court, qu threw himself into a river. townspeople jumped into their boats and tried in vain to save him. then, hoping to distract hungry fish from his body, the people scattered rice on the water.

端午节与春节和中秋节并列为中国三大节日。这三个节日中，它可能是最古老的一个，可以追溯到公元前227年的战国时代。这个节日是为了纪念楚国的大夫屈原，他因为对朝廷的贪污腐败感到绝望而投河自尽。镇上的人纷纷冲上船去救他，却没有成功。后来大家把米撒到水里，希望把饥饿的鱼群从他的躯体边引开。

Protecting the Wild Animals

Last week, I saw a very impressive documentary about panda. A professor studied panda in the early 1980s went to the wild life and kept trace of wild giant panda for many years. As a result, he found that it was human being that made these lovely animals die out. At that time, many people believed that giant panda became less because of the low rate of newborn babies. But it was not true. People cut trees for making profit at that time. Panda lose homeland and they lacked of food. Thanks to these valuable data, the government took the policy to protect the animals. So today, the number of giant panda is increasing. People realize the importance of protecting the environment and it is the best way to protect wild animals, they are the indispensable part of the nature.

上周，我看了一部令人印象非常深刻的关于熊猫的纪录片。一位教授在20年代80年代早期就开始研究熊猫，他到野外生活，多年寻找野生大熊猫的踪迹。结果，他发现，正是人类，让这些可爱的动物面临灭绝。当时，许多人认为，大熊猫变少是因为新生儿的低出生率。这是不正确。人们为了利益砍伐树木，熊猫失去了家园，也没有食物吃。多亏了这些有价值的数据，政府采取了政策去保护它们。所以现在，大熊猫的数量正在增加。人们意识到保护环境的重要性，这也是最好的方法来保护野生动物，因为它们是大自然不可或缺的一部分。
