building bridges for the future

i’m studying in a city that’s famous for its walls. people who visit my city are amazed at the imposing sight of its walls, especially when silhouetted against the setting sun with gold, shining streaks. the old, cracked bricks are covered with lichens and the walls are weather-beaten guards standing still for centuries.

our ancestors liked to build walls. they built walls in beijing, _i’an, nanjing and many other cities, and they built the great wall, which snakes across half our country. they built walls to protect against enemies and evil spirits. this tradition has survived to this day: we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public.

for a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world to me.

my perceptions, however, changed after i made a hiking trip to the eastern suburbs of my city. my classmates and i were walking with some foreign students. as we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by tall trees, which formed a wide canopy above our heads. suddenly one foreign student asked me, "where is the entrance to the eastern suburbs?"

"we’re already in the eastern suburbs," i replied. he seemed taken aback, "i thought you chinese had walls for everything." his remark set off a heated debate. at one point, he likened our walled cities to "jails", while i insisted that the eastern suburbs were one of the many places in china that had no walls.

that debate had no winners, but i did learn a lot from this student. for instance, he told me that some major universities like o_ford and cambridge were not surrounded by walls. i have to admit that we do have many walls in china, and as we develop our country, we must look carefully at them and decide whether they are physical or intangible. we will keep some walls but tear down those that impede our development.

let me give another e_ample.

a year ago, when i was working on a term paper, i needed a book on business law and found a copy in the law school library. however, the librarian coldly rejected my request to borrow it, saying, "you can’t borrow this book, you’re not a student here." in the end, i had to spend 200 yuan to buy a copy. meanwhile, the copy in the law school gathered dust on the shelf.

at the beginning of this semester, i heard that my university had started to think of unifying its libraries and linking them to libraries at other universities, so my e_perience wouldn’t be repeated. barriers would be replaced by bridges. an inter-library loan system would give us access to books from any library. with globalization and china integrated into the world, i believe many of these intangible walls will be knocked down.

i know that globalization is a controversial issue, and it is hard to say whether it is good or bad. but one thing is for sure: it draws our attention to china’s tangible and intangible walls and forces us to e_amine their role in the modern world.

and how about the ancient walls of mine and other cities? should we tear them down? definitely not. my city, like beijing and other cities, is actually making a great effort to preserve the walls. these walls attract historians, archaeologists, and many schoolchildren who are trying to study our history and cultural heritage. walls have become bridges to our past and to the rest of the world. if the ancient builders of these walls were still alive today, they would be proud to see such great changes in the role of their walls. they are now bridges that link east and west, south and north, and all countries of the world. our cultural heritage will survive globalization.

21世纪杯英语演讲比赛技巧

主要考察选手多方面能力：思维能力、逻辑能力和语言能力。思维能力是指选手在毫无准备的情况下对某一问题的分析能力，对问题理解的深度和宽度等;逻辑能力主要指选手是否有全局观，是否能合理搭筑整个演讲的框架，所阐述观点的层次性是否清晰;而语言能力则是指选手即席用英语进行交流沟通的能力，可检验选手的英语语言熟练度和准确度如何。那么如何应对即兴演讲呢?

即兴演讲的题目涉及方方面面，从经济、政治、教育、文化、人生到国际问题，包罗万象。这也是即兴演讲具有极强挑战性的原因之一。 题目的范围之大之广对参赛选手提出了很高的要求。要求演讲者平时养成读书看报的习惯，关注周围发生的焦点问题和国际时事，积累各个领域的素材，以便谈论起某一个话题时言之有物，有的放矢;要求演讲者平时养成思考的习惯，多听不同的声音，从不同角度看问题，看问题有想法、有深度。这些都是赛前的准备工作，应多积累、丰富自己的知识内容，强化自己的观点。

好的内容包括好的主题以及有说服力的材料做支持。

1.强有力的材料做支持

正如前面讨论过的那样，论据的类型最基本可分为三种：实例、统计数字以及引用别人的言语。对于即兴演讲来说，现场能够找到恰当的统计数字是非常困难的。因此在即兴演讲时，引用别人的言语和用实例来证明是最常见的两种方式。那么应该选择哪种类型的例子来做论据呢?在比赛现场上进行即兴演讲时，最切实可行的、最容易做到的就是用自己或自己周围发生的例子来说明你的观点，信手拈来，不用绞尽脑汁，演讲起来最自如，最自信;这样做无形之中也强化了自己的可信度，比较容易打动听众。

在选择使用论据时，尤其是在竞赛当中，需要特别注意以下两个原则。

（1)演讲的支持材料要切题。

所选择的支持材料要为你的中心观点或主题服务，不能偏离这一点，不能跑题。记得一个学生在参加比赛时，抽到的即兴演讲题目是，"中国成为世界贸易组织的成员对于我们国家有什么主要影响?"她在演讲中讲了一个很长的故事，一个年轻人在海边拾贝壳，碰到了一个老人，以及和这个老人之间展开的对话。这个故事占了整个演讲的三分之二，然后很牵强地把这个故事和她抽到的题目联系在一起。尽管她的故事叙述得很流利，但在整个即兴演讲结束后，听众仍然不知她对这个问题的回答是什么?很显然，演讲者在赛前准备了几个故事，准备在即兴演讲时使用。的确，在赛前要做充分的准备，准备各个领域的数据、例子、权威专家的话等，做好充分的调研，以便在比赛中游刃有余。但切记你所选择的支持材料一定要与主题相关，为主题服务，能够帮助听众更加深入地了解你的观点，决不能哗众取宠。不切题的即兴演讲绝不会得高分。

(2)演讲的支持材料要贴近听众。

演讲的支持材料最好是听众熟悉的，贴近听众，不仅有利于听众理解、接受和吸收你的信息，而且容易产生共鸣。笔者作为辅导教师参加过多次的全国英语演讲比赛，在比赛中发现了一个很奇怪的现象。有很多学生举例子或引用别人的话时，往往愿意用国外的例子或国外名人说的话来支持他们的论点。学生也许有些许担心，"如果用土生土长的例子，外国评委可能会不知道，不了解背景，会影响他们对整个演讲的评判。"然而在一次比赛中，一位来自美国的演讲专家在做点评时说到，"不用担心我们会不了解，或听不懂。问题是作为一个外国人，我们在这里希望听到有关你们国家的人、事、思想、文化，而不是我们国家的名人如林肯、克林顿，他们说了什么，干了什么。"他一语道破了问题的关键，演讲者所说的要和你的听众拉近距离，讲一些本地发生的事情，发生的事情对听众产生了什么样的影响，用当地的文化、理念来解释你的观点，这样更容易在听众中产生共鸣。但并不是说就一定不能用国外的例子或观点。要全方位地选择论据，选择恰当的材料为你的观点服务。

2.好的主题与观点

(1)切题

切题最重要。一般而言，选手拿到的题目都是以问题的形式出现的。你需要表明在这个问题上的立场和观点，决不可以含糊其词，态度闪烁不定，站在中间，既谈好处又谈弊端。如果坚持这样，那么评委和听众就会认为你是在逃避，你的观点不明确，态度不明朗，那也就很难胜出。这点在cctv杯演讲比赛中尤其重要，因为即兴演讲是为以后的辩论做准备。

(2) 观点的严谨性

观点需要限制和修饰。要用发展性的眼光来处理你的观点。表达观点的语言本身要严谨，准确，尽量避免绝对化的字眼，如 "never, every, all, nothing, nobody"等，这些绝对化判断太容易遭到攻击。

观点本身能够站得住脚，有充足的材料可以说明论证。

承认你的观点有修正和完善的余地。你的观点可能只是你目前认识的一个方面，或者是现阶段你的一种想法，它仍然有完善的余地。

have you ever bought any food on the train? and do you ask for the receipt after buying it? nowadays, all trains in china provide its passengers with receipts for commodities, but 7 years ago, things were quite different.

on 13th of october, 20__, the train t109 from beijing to shanghai was speeding on the railway. a graduate student bought a sausage at 1 yuan on the train, then asked for a receipt.

“are you kidding? it’s just one yuan!” the crew member was surprised.

the student, however, answered in a determined voice, “i paid the money, so i deserve the receipt.”

“but we never give receipts on the train.’ as a result, his further request was turned down by a cold shoulder.

several days later, the student sued the national railway ministry, for not providing receipts for passengers.

to his dismay, the court turned down the case for lack of evidence. but he, who majored in law at that time, believed law as a most powerful weapon, so he did not give up. instead, he began his journey of collecting first-hand evidence by taking trains and buying commodities aboard. when his classmates were playing soccer, he was taking the train; when his classmates were buying food at mcdonald’s, he was buying food on the train; when his classmates were asking girls out, he was asking for the receipts. as he joked, ‘i was either taking the train or on the way to take the train.’

one month later, he appeared in the court again, with newly-collected evidence and a stronger confidence. and i guess, ladies and gentlemen, you will all cheer for the result because this time, the student won the case. very soon, a regulation about receipts on the train came out. and whatever we buy on the train now, there’s a receipt for us.

outside the court, the student was asked, “how do you make it to the end?” he said, “as a law student, i root my faith in law. i believe that law is there, to protect every person with no e_ception, and to ensure every person has a say.”

his words spread a strong faith in law, which is not only a doctrine of a law student, but also a belief that all citizens ought to hold. it is this faith that initiates the student to resort to law for a tiny issue; it is this faith that supports him to endure all the e_hausting trips when collecting evidence; it is this faith that makes a seemingly “ridiculous” receipt request legal and rightful. it is this faith that helps to change our life, enhance our judicial system and bring social justice.

to many, a receipt of 1 yuan is too small to mention, however rights are to be respected and law is to be believed in. it all starts with a tiny receipt of 1 yuan, but we get a monumental case, a new regulation and a bumper harvest in social justice. the bridge that leads a tiny start to a bumper harvest is faith, the faith in law, rightful and strong.

change

leo tolstoy once said, everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.

he is right. we always have great plans and dreams in our minds… too ready to achieve something grand that changes the world or benefits all of mankind .for e_ample; we hate pollution and have made up our minds to find new energy sources that keep the environment clean. yet we still litter on the ground. we complain about traffic jams, so we plan to build more highways to solve the problem, but it never occurs to us that our failure to follow traffic regulations is the leading cause of this situation. we are so concerned that the violence in the media has a bad impact on our children, we urge the government to set laws to protect them. but, do we, as adults, set a good e_ample for our kids? we use nasty words and even spit on the ground in front of them, i dare to say, we harm more!

in my opinion, before we decide to change the world, we had better change ourselves first. as ordinary individuals, we do not have the power to change the world. but we can change our habit of littering, spitting, cussing, we can respect the environment around us, we must act as good models for our kids.

if each of us does all of these little things, all of us, millions and millions of individuals together, together we will be strong …strong enough to change our world!

so please, the ne_t time you do something, think how your actions influence not only you, but those around you too, especially our children …and perhaps more importantly…our planet!

改变

列夫·托尔斯泰曾说过：每个人都想改变这个世界，但是没有人想到改变自己。

他说的很有道理，我们每个人都心怀伟大时志向，时刻准备去干一番能造福全人类的大事业。比如，我们痛恨环境污染，所以我们下定决心去开发新的更高效更干净的能源来保护我们的环境，但是同时我们却随手乱扔垃圾;我们抱怨大城市的交通堵塞，计划造更多的高速路来解决交通问题，但是我们从来没有想过，如果我们能遵守交通规则话，那么这一问题是不是可以得到很大得缓解呢?我们担心电视电影里面得暴力会对我们得孩子产生不良的影响，于是我们敦促政府通过立法来保护未成年人，但是我们这些大人又做得怎么样呢?我们为我们的下一代做好了表率吗?我们说粗话，甚至在孩子面前抽烟。不客气地说，我们对孩子的不良影响更多!

在我看来，在我们打算改变这个世界之前，我们最好先改变一下自己。作为一个普通人，我们其实没有改变这个世界的能力，但是我可以改变我们随地扔垃圾，随地吐痰的坏习惯， 我们应该学会去保护环境，我们应该为我们的孩子起好的表率作用。

如果我们每个人都能从小事起，那么千千万万个人力量汇聚在一起，那力量是强大的，足以改变这个世界。

朋友，当您在做某一件事情的时候，请您想一想，您的行为会对您周围的人产生怎样的影响， 因为，您的行为不单单影响到您自己，还有您周围的人，更重要的是我们的孩子…甚至我们的世界。

决赛特等奖选手

2024级 陈若曦

honorable judges and dear fellow students,

just as most people here,when i first saw the topic reform and opening-up policies,a voice came out,saying what a grand scale!then those big events,such as china"s accession to wto,the launch of shenzhou and the submersion of jiaolong flashed through my mind.however,at this moment i stand on the stage as a member of chinese youth,i"m not gonna draw a magnificent blueprint for you.what i e_actly want is to find out the relation between chinese youth and this era of reform and opening-up.

it is known to all that in the past 40 years,china has captured the opportunity provided by globalization and grown rapidly from nobody to the second-largest economy in the world.in this conte_t,it could be said that we young people have had better resources than ever before.to be more specific,let"s pick up some daily life"s fragments: for e_ample,one sunday morning,you don"t feel like going outside,so you pull out your smartphone and quickly order a takeout on app to comfort your empty stomach.in another case ,there"s been a discount on taobao .after struggling with your equipment and the net speed,you finally got your favorite goods at the best prize,because the most complete supply chain and logistic chain worldwide will solve the remaining work for you,so all you have to do is waiting. not to mention the increasing number of people going abroad,with a chinese passport,they are entitled to travel around the world and come back home safely.

but now i wonder how many of you have realized that this convenience,this sense of security does"t come out of air,surely we could regard it as the product of reform and opening-up policies,nevertheless,do you really understand what are behind those achievements?there is a saying, if you live at ease , that is because there are a great many people who are working for you in silence.they might be the politicians and entrepreneurs who climb into the raging flow to e_plore and promote the system construction of market economy,they might be the intellectuals who devote their lives to prompting the engine of development,and they might be every single person we have access to.

in other words,we youth do not take it for granted,the more resources we possess means the more responsibility we will shoulder.when the 95s were claimed to be the new youth in china and the first millennial stepped into campus,baton of the era has also been approaching.although china is moving firmly towards its goal of rejuvenation ,deficiencies and problems still e_ist.so in this sense,we youth ought to grow stronger to sustain the potentiality of development.with the baton in hands,do not afraid to embrace the mercurial society ,do not afraid to change the future.so that as the new youth we could feel more emboldened to say that facing the reform and opening-up policies we are not only the gainers but also the successors!thank you!

reform and opening-up : dare to embrace the world

good afternoon everyone, my name is jack. it’s my great privilege to stand here and share my own perspective about 40 years’ reform and opening-up.

through the long history of china, reform is easy to witness. some reforms just shifted the rulers’ name yet had little influence on the society. others, however, can be revolutionary and our reform and opening-up policy is one of them.

born in 21st century, it is hard to have the e_act feeling about the life before 1978.luckily, i can grasp some information from my parents and my grandparents.

on a personal note, the most impressive change that has occurred during the 40 years is people’s concept of living, or to be specific, the concept of allocating their salary. for instance, elder people like my grandparents always cut off their monthly budget and then save the surplus money into the bank account. while young adults are more likely to use the remaining salary to do some investment or with the loan if necessary. i did ask my grandparents why not follow suit, they told me it had risks that they didn’t want to take. apparently, we stand in this period and all know that such kind of trade and investment is helpful to the economy ascent. thanks to mr. deng’s policy, we can now dare to trade both domestically and internationally.

beside economy, swift development in other aspects is also prodigious. as you can see, skyscrapers stand in the city and huts are no more. cars take the main avenue and bikes step aside. various travel modes are available for common civilians. imagine, what kind of condition we may live in if the reform and opening-up policy is absent? do you want to live in the condition that was similar to forty years ago. ok, back to the point, when mentioning transportation, you all know what i am going to talk about is our high speed-rail whose both speed and technology top all over the world. dating back to 40 years ago, it is nearly impossible for people to imagine such changes can literally take place. due to the reform and opening-up, i can now jump out of the well and embrace the world. flash as 40 years may be, we indeed witness and e_perience the happiness that the reform and opening-up has brought us.

therefore, as a freshman, it is my duty and also our duty to be e_plicit about our directions and master adequate professional knowledge which will be the basis of our contributions to the community and creating harmonious environment for the ne_t generation. do not be afraid that your contribution may not be considered as innovative as deng _iao pin did, because it is the little parts that you have done that build up the world we live in today.

in the end, i have to say that reform and opening-up is a great fortune for every chinese. owing to the window it opens for us, i can now embrace the world.

that’s all. thank you.

east and west have met

runner-up: rui cheng gang, foreign affair college

honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen:

kipling said:" east is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet!" but now, a century later, they have met.

they have met in business. they have met in education. they have met in the arts.

some would argue that these meetings leave us with a choice between east and west ,but i believe the best future lies in the creative combination of both worlds. we can make western ideas, customs and technology our own, and adapt them to our own use. we can enjoy the best of all worlds, because our tradition is, above all, one of selecting the best and making it our own.

but, do western styles and values threaten our identity?

history makes it easy for us to think so-perhaps too easy.

some people seem to think that adopting western customs, such as a bride wearing white-which has long been a color of mourning in china, instead of the traditional chinese red for her wedding, is another submission to foreign intervention,--a betrayal of our heritage, they say.

they fear that as we become "globalized", we will no longer be chinese.

i do not agree.

history teachers that a strong and confident nation is at ease in hearing from the outside world.

the wedding of eastern and western cultures, whether in white gowns or red, brings us variety.

it is a rich banquet of special foods from all over the world.

as an amateur gourmet of chinese cuisine, our superb flavours delight me.

but my chinese taste appreciates food from any land.

i even allow the convenience of mcdonald"s a place in my life without giving up my good taste.

my grandfather taught me to hum tunes of beijing opera from the time i was very young; they are deep in my spirit, part of my soul.

i love beijing opera, because it always reminds me of who i am.

but i am also a fan of modern pop music, the no.1 fan of spice girls on campus.

of course, it goes far beyond food, music and dance. it goes into values and ways of thinking about the world.

once upon a time, or so my teacher told me, a chinese boy and an american girl had a squabble.

both wanted to keep a bunny rabbit they had found in the garden.

surely you"ve seen a rabbit sunning himself in the grass.

nothing is more lovable, nothing more natural. no wonder they wanted him. the chinese boy played his er-hu. happiness and joy, longing and passion, filled the air. the little rabbit swayed gently and began to move his ears in the direction of the music. he liked what he heard.

the girl then took out her violin and played it to produce beautiful melodies of her own.

the rabbit began to bounce in her direction.

so intent were the children on their own music that neither paid the other any attention.

the competing melodies confused the little rabbit and he did not know which way to turn .unable to attract the little creature, both children gave up ;they walked away, in different directions, leaving the rabbit. . .alone.

but, what if they listened ,what if they really heard each other"s music, instead of always playing their own tunes?

when i hear the music of a violin ,rich with the joys of men and women who came together and sang and danced.. . i hear echoes of the music of the grass lands, of the hills, of the rivers...of my own native land.

is music mine and yours, or is it ours?

what i want to hear is the er-hu and the violin played together, in rhythm and in tune. together, we can produce new and beautiful music, rich with te_tures and sounds that can only be made in harmony.

the rabbit sits in the grass in the ever-warming sun. waiting for us to play, waiting for the symphony to begin.

will he have to wait forever? the choice is ours . thank you.

尊敬的评委、女士们、先生们：吉卜林说过，“东方是东方，西方是西方，两者永不聚!”然而如今，在一个世纪之后，东西方相聚了。

它们在贸易中相聚，在教育中相聚，在艺术中相聚。

有人争论说这种东西方之聚,使得我们能够在东西方中作出选择.然而我相信最美好的未来在于东西方世界的创造性的结合，我们可以变西方的观念、习俗、技术为己所有，为己所用;我们可以享受两上不同世界之精华，总之，我们的传统之一就是择其精华，为己所用。

然而，西方的生活方式和价值会威胁到我们的民族特色吗?

历史让我们轻易相信——也许是太轻易地让我们相信此说了。

有人似乎认为彩西方习俗，比如新娘结婚穿白色婚纱，是对外国介入的屈服，是对传统遗产的背叛，因为按中国传统，结婚新娘要穿红色，而白色长期以来代表的是哀悼。

这些人担心一量我们变得全球化，我们也就不在是中国人了。

我不这样认为。

历史告诉我们：一个强大自信的民族学起外面的世界易如反掌 。

无论是穿白衣还是黑衣，还是东西方异质文化的联姻，都给我们带来多姿多采的生活。

东西方异质文化的联姻是一席来自世界各地佳肴的盛宴。

身为中国菜的业余美食家，我喜欢民族的佳肴。

然而我的中国口味也欣赏异国的风味。

生活中我为简便吃麦当劳，却不会放弃自己的良好口味。

从小祖父就教我哼唱京剧，京剧深入我的精神之中，成为我灵魂的一部分。

我热爱京剧，因为京剧让我总想起自己是谁。

但是我也迷恋现代流行音乐，在学校里还是“辣味女孩”的头号歌迷。

当然，异质文化的交流远不止于食物、音乐和舞蹈，它深入到价值观和世界观。 有一次老师给我讲了一个中国男孩和一个美国女孩发生争执的故事。

在花园里他们俩发现了一只小兔，两人都想要。

你肯定见过草丛中晒太阳的小兔。

没什么东西比小兔子更可爱的，更富有自然情趣了，难怪他们两人都想要它。

男孩拉起了二胡，愉快喜悦的琴声，充满了渴望和激情，回荡在空中，小兔子听着这音乐轻轻摇摆，耳朵转向音乐，它喜爱男孩的琴声。

女孩也取出小提琴，拉出悠扬的旋律。

小兔子听了朝她跑去。

两人都全神贯注于自己的音乐，丝毫没注意对方演奏的音乐。

炕杂在一块的音乐困惑了小兔子，它不知该朝哪走。男孩和女孩都不能将小兔子吸引过来，只好放弃，各自走开了，扔下小兔子独自一人。

然而倘若他们倾听对方的音乐，而不是各自为歌，那么结果会如何呢?

当我听到小提琴声响起，男男女女走道一起又唱又跳，乐声中充满了欢乐， 此时我也听见了草原上、山谷间、小河旁传来得我们本民族的音乐的回声。

音乐分你我，还是属于我们大家?

我想听的是二胡与小提琴的合奏，旋律与节奏和谐一致。

大家一起才能创造出新颖动听音乐， 只有在和谐中大家才能创造出富有神韵的乐声。

在温暖的阳光中，小兔子在等待着我们一起演奏，等待着交响乐开始。

他有必要再永远的等下去吗?决择在于我们自己。谢谢。

(96年"21世纪杯全国大学生英语演讲比赛"二等奖获得者，北京外国语大学 徐义成)

facing this audience on the stage, i have the e_citing feeling of participating in the march of history, for what we are facing today is more than a mere competition or contest. it is an assembly of some of china"s most talented and motivated people, representatives of a younger generation that are preparing themselves for the coming of a new century.

i"m grateful that i"ve been given this opportunity, at such a historic moment, to stand here as a spokesman of my generation and to take a serious look back at the past 15 years, a crucial period for every one of us and for this nation as well.

though it is only within my power to tell about my personal e_perience, and only a tiny fragment of it at that, it still represents, i believe, the root of a spirit which has been essential to me and to all the people bred by the past 15 years.

in my elementary years, there was a little girl in the class who worked very hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons.

the teacher asked me to help her, and it was obvious that she e_pected a lot from me. but as a young boy, restless, thoughtless, i always tried to evade her so as to get more time to enjoy myself.

one day before the final e_am, she came up to me and said, "could you please e_plain this to me? i want very much to do better this time. " i started e_plaining, and finished in a hurry. pretending not to notice her still confused eyes, i ran off quickly. nat surprisingly, she again did very badly in the e_am. and two months later, at the beginning of the new semester, word came of her death of blood cancer. no one ever knew about the little task i failed to fulfill, but i couldn"t forgive myself. i simply couldn"t forget her eyes, which seem to be asking, "why didn"t you do a little more to help me, when it was so easy for you? why didn"t you understand a little better the trust placed in you, so that i would not have to leave this world in such pain and regret?"

i was about eight or nine years old at that time, but in a way it was the very starting point of my life, for i began to understand the word "responsibility" and to learn to always do my duties faithfully and devotedly, for the implications of that sacred word has dawned on me: the mutual need and trust of people, the co-operation and inter-reliance which are the very foundation of human society.

later in my life, i continued to e_perience many failures. but never again did i feel that regret which struck me at the death of the girl, for it makes my heart satisfied to think that i have always done everything in my power to fulfill my responsibilities as best i can.

as i grew up, changed and improved by this incident and many other similar ones, i began to perceive the changes taking place around me and to find that society, in a way, was in its formative years like myself. new buildings, new commodities and new fashions appear every day.

new ideas, new information, new technologies. people can talk with each other from any corner of the earth in a matter of seconds. society is becoming more competitive.

words like individuality and creativity are getting more emphasis and more people are rewarded for their hard work and efforts. such is the era in which this generation ,grows and matures.

such is the era in which this generation will take over the nation from our fathers and learn to run it. yet in the meantime, many problems still e_ist.

we learn that crimes take place in broad daylight with crowds of people looking on and not assisting. we hear that there are still about 1 million children in this country who can"t even afford to go to elementary schools while enormous sums of money are being squandered away on dinner parties and lu_ury cars.

we buy shoddy medicines, or merely worthless junk in the name of medicines, that aggravate, rather than alleviate our diseases since money, many people believe, is the most important thing in the world that must be made, even at the e_pense of morality and responsibility.

such an era, therefore, determines that we are a generation with a keener sense of competition and efficiency and a greater readiness to think critically and act creatively.

such an era, furthermore, demands, that we are a generation with a clear perception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive will to take action and solve the problems. history has long been preparing these qualities in this generation and it is now calling us forward to give testimony to our patriotism and heroism towards this nation and all humanity.

standing here now, i think of the past 15 years of my life as an ordinary student. probably i"ll be an ordinary man for the rest of my life. but this doesn"t discourage me any, for i know that with my sense of responsibility and devoted efforts to always strive, for the best, it"s going to be a meaningful and worthwhile life that i will be living.

standing here now, i think of the past 15 years of this nation, which has achieved greatness that inspired millions of people of my age, most of whom will not attain fame or prestige and only a few of whom will be remembered by posterity. but that doesn"t discourage us any, because we know that the world watches, the world listens, the world is waiting to see where this nation will be heading in a time of rich opportunities and fierce competition.

i can"t ever forget that little girl in my class who couldn"t had the same opportunities as any of us here to enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopeful world tomorrow.

it is the sacred responsibility of this generation to face up to the challenges of the new century and to devote our sweat and blood, our wisdom and passion, to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier land for every one of us.

we are not going to evade that responsibility. we are going to let people down. and people, far and near, will hear of us. frost will be brought to their backbones and tears to their eyes when our stories are told and retold, so let us go forth, my fellow members of this luckily chosen generation, and meet the new century in victory and glory.
