no young man believes he shall ever die. it was a saying of my brother's, and a fine one. there is a feeling of eternity in youth, which makes us amend for everything. to be young is to be as one of the immortal gods. one half of time indeed is flown-the other half remains in store for us with all its countletreasures; for there is no line drawn, and we see no limit to our hopes and wishes. we make the coming age our own-
the vast, the unbounded prospect lies before us.
death. old age. are words without a meaning. that paby us like the idea air which we regard not. others may have undergone, or may still be liable to them-we "bear a charmed life“, which laughs to scorn all such sickly fancies. as in setting out on delightful journey, we strain our eager gaze forward-
bidding the lovely scenes at distance hail!
and see no end to the landscape, new objects presenting
themselves as we advance; so, in the commencement of life, we set no bounds to our inclinations. nor to the uestricted opportunities of gratifying them. we have as yet found no obstacle, no disposition to flag; and it seems that we can go on so forever. we look round in a new world, full of life, and motion, and ceaseleprogress; and feel in ourselves all the vigor and spirit to keep pace with it, and do not foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural course of things, decline into old age, and drop into the grave. it is the simplicity, and as it were abstractedneof our
feelings in youth, that (so to speak) identifies us with nature, and (our experience being slight and our passions strong) deludes
us into a belief of being immortal like it. our short-lives connection with existence we fondly flatter ourselves, is an indissoluble and lasting union-a honeymoon that knows neither coldness, jar, nor separation. as infants smile and sleep, we are rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies, and lulled into security by the roar of the universe around us0we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the more-objects prearound us, filling the mind with their magnitude and with the strong of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I’m glad to be here to give you my speech called ‘ Yes, we can.’
If we want to say ‘yes, we can’, we must know what things we need to do first. Just like to me, it’s my duty and honour to make it a good speech for you. I believe I can.
We need to know more meaningful things. For example, the 35th President of United States, J.F. Kennedy, said this in his inaugural speech: ‘Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.’ Can we do more for our society? Yes, we can. We can make it a better world through our hard work.
I n Barack Obama’s victory speech, he told a story about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old. She was born just a generation past slavery, a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons, BECause she was a woman and BECause of the color of her skin.
This reminds me of Martin Luther King’s well-known speech—I have a dream. He said, ‘I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."’
And now, it’s the 21st century. A man has touched down on the moon. The Cold War has been ended. An African-American is chosen to be the next president of USA. Can Martin Luther King’s dream come true? Sadly, it can’t at the present. But, if we do our best, can our dream of peace, liberty and equality come true in the future? Yes, we can. We need change and we can change the world and ourselves. We are sure, yes we can
Believe that if we do our best, we can say it in a fantastic voice—
‘ Yes, we can.’
Thank you.

it‘s my honor to have a speech here. we all know that autumn is a harvest season;it brings us achievements and celebrations. but this year is quite different. we are welcoming the 60th birthday of our nation!
what proves the growth of our country? what proves that our country is becoming stronger and stronger? of course，the changes，the avhievements.now we can touch the pulse(脉搏，跳动) of the social progress，the changes of clothing，food，the living conditions and so on. once my grandma said that in the planned economy，everything has its own certificate，“new dress” is only a desire and many children could only expect new clothes on chinese new year. when my grandmother put on new clothes on new year‘s day， she would be quite satisfied and proud， because many children would come to appreciate it. at that time， new clothes are rare for common people. sixty years ago， it’s quite usual that a big family crowded in a small room. they put up a curtain separating the house into two parts， and sometimes there might be some mice. my grandma said they played only seated in bed and several children did their homework on a small table. but now， good conditions， most families not only have a nice house with a lot of furniture， but also have more than one house. great changes have taken place gradually around us， especially after the reform and opening up. history tells us and tells future， dengxiaoping‘ construction was right. in XX， our country joined the wto. then we launched the shenzhou v， vi， vii and chang’e spaceship into space， and held the beijing olympics. we still remember the yesterday of last year， when the big earthquake happened， the whole nation was shocked and moved. not only volunteers but everyone was devoted to help people in need. today we see a new look of sichuan people， the energy and hope of sichuan people. what a beautiful day!
as students， we are enjoying the benefits of the progress of our country. now we are studying in a garden school which has experienced one hundred years of unusual history. look， the bright classrooms， the tall buildings， the green trees and these energetic students! we should work hard， for our future， for our school and for our nation. and i‘m sure that a better life and a harmonious society are around the corner. have you seen them?
