we often hear people say, “never give up.” this can be encouraging words and words of determination. a person who believes in them will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. in my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. therefore, i believe that we should never give up.

one reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. it is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel discouraged and should try again. besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow as people. another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort. if we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted. finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives.

probably the greatest example of persistence is abraham lincoln. born into poverty, lincoln was faced with defeat throughout his life. he lost eight elections, twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown.

he could have quit many times - but he didn't and because he didn't quit, he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of our country.

lincoln was a champion and he never gave up.

in short, it is important that we don’t give up when working for our goals. whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better, more confident people. furthermore, if we give up, we have no chance of attaining our goals, but if we keep trying, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.thank you very much!

如果你把你的心脏上没有什么是困难的。没有什么是容易的，如果你不尝试你最好的。

我们经常听到人们说：“永远不要放弃。”这可以鼓励决心的词与词。一个人谁相信他们将继续努力，不管经历多少次失败，达到到他的目标。在我看来，有决心的质量成功是有一个重要的之一。因此，我认为我们应该永不放弃。

原因之一是，如果我们太轻易放弃，就几乎无法完成任何事。这是很平常的我们在我们的一些新的第一次尝试失败了，所以我们不应感到气馁，应该再试一次。此外，如果我们总是放弃当我们失败，我们将无法发展新的技能和成长的人。另外一个原因，我们不应该放弃的是，我们可以从我们的错误中吸取教训，只有我们作出新的努力。如果我们不再试一次，我们吸取的教训是浪费。最后，我们应该永不放弃，因为当我们努力达到我们的目标，我们就会培养出自信，而这种自信将有助于我们在生活的其他领域中获得成功。

大概持续性的最大的例子就是林肯。出生在贫困家庭，林肯面临着他一生的失败。他输八大选，两次经商失败，并遭受了神经衰弱。

他可以放弃很多次 - 但他并没有因为他没有放弃，他成为我国历史上最伟大的总统之一。

林肯是一个冠军，他从来没有放弃过。

总之，这是我们努力追求目标时，不放弃是很重要的。无论我们最终还是没有成功，我们都会学到一些东西，而我们学什么会帮助我们变得更好，更有自信的人。此外，如果我们放弃，我们没有机会实现我们的目标，但如果我们继续努力，总有一个机会，我们会有成功的非常感谢!

1.agree or disagree: there is nothing that young people could teach old people.

in ancient times, young people should never teach old people. old people know much more than young because they have undergone many things in their life. they lead us to the right way. sometimes, it regarded impolite for young to teach old. but that does not mean young people really have nothing to teach old people, especially in this high-developed times. young people usually learn things fast and learn more. they always have a smart head for new things. therefore, young people can teach the olds how to use computer and cellphone, how to dance and so on. also, i think old people can learn younger passion and energetic for life. that will be a good thing.

2.should pets be allowed in university dormitories?

in my opinion, by no means should pets be allowed in dormitories. to be honest, i've been thinking in my mind to have a pet in my dorm. lovely pets will bring much joy to our daily life. but i eventually didn't do that. why? because it is something selfish and irresponsible. dormitory is a place where several people live together. to a certain degree, it is a public place. we can't just comply with our own desire while ignore other roommates?feeling. having a pet in dorm can be troublesome or even annoying. it may make the room dirty and even in a mess. what't worse, some people are allergic to certain animals. also, people's rest can be guaranteed. some people may say that we could choose a mild and little pet such as fishes. in this case, if your roommates don't reject, i think it is acceptable.

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 e__ceptional education at e__traordinary 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 ine__perienced 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.

thank you!

it was a cloudleday. the warmth of the fall sun made the day seem as if it would be perfect. yes, for me perhaps, but not exactly for the technician who was working on one of my laboratory machines. the technician definitely knew what he was doing and seemed exceptionally qualified except for one thing. he was no electrician. he had found a motor that he identified as being bad. the motor shaft was much too difficult to turn and he had indicated that this was a major problem. "expect two to three days for a new one to arrive," he said.

one thing my friend didn't understand is that when power is supplied to a generator, it becomes a motor and when mechanical power is applied to a motor, it becomes a generator. during the proceof his working on the machine he disconnected the leads to the motor and spun the shaft turning the motor into a generator. disconnecting the leads in effect took the load off the motor, the leads being connected causing the motor not to turn freely. he looked rather perplexed to see the motor shaft spin so freely. for reasons unknown to me, he spun the shaft again and grabbed the wires protruding from the motor. i don't believe i have ever heard quite the string of expletives that this man let fly from his mouth. with his eyes widened he had to slap his hand loose from the wires as the flow of generated electricity locked the grip of his hand.

now this being funny all by itself, it evidently wasn't funny enough for the technician because he spun the motor and grabbed the leads again. another string of expletives that have never been heard previously by man were unleashed unto the world.

several years ago, i had heard about a man who went fishing with an old crank type telephone generator. he'd drop the leads into the water and crank the generator causing the fish to be shocked whereby they would float to the top for him to collect. on this warm and cloudlefall day, i'd say, the technician's fish had all floated to the top.

what qualities do you think a friend should have to continue the friendship? use specific reasons to support your idea.

in my heart, i think the most important quality to continue the friendship is sincerity. a true friendship must be built on sincerity. however, to continue a friendship is not a easy thing. both of each other have to pay a lot. the word sincerity contains too much. firstly, we need to be frank and honest to each other. only if when we did so can the other side treat us like the same and thus build belief between friends. a friendship full of lies and deceit shouldn't be called friendship. secondly, we need to be considerable and do not be self-centered. we should think more for our friends and encourage them on certain occasion. a self-centered friend can be very troublesome and annoying. no one would tolerate him for a long time. finally, i think we should learn to compromise sometimes. we can't live in harmony forever with our friends. when there expose a disagreement, we should compromise to each other. only by this way can a friendship last long.

你认为一个朋友应该有什么品质继续友谊?使用具体原因来支持你的想法。

在我心中,我认为最重要的品质继续友谊是真诚。真正的友谊必须建立在真诚之上。然而,继续友谊不是一件容易的事情。彼此都需要支付很多。诚信这个词包含了太多。首先,我们需要彼此坦率而诚实的。只有当我们这样做可以另一边同样对待我们像,从而建立朋友间的信念。友谊充满了谎言和欺骗不应该叫做友谊。其次,我们需要相当大的,不要以自我为中心。我们应该更多的为我们的朋友,鼓励他们在某些场合。一个以自我为中心的朋友会很麻烦的,烦人。没有人会容忍他很长一段时间。最后,我认为我们应该学会妥协。我们不能永远活在和谐与我们的朋友。暴露有分歧的时候,我们应该相互妥协。只有这样,友谊才能长久。

once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: happiness, sadness, knowledge, and all of the others, including love. one day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. except for love.

love was the only one who stayed. love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.

when the island had almost sunk, love decided to ask for help.

richness was passing by love in a grand boat. love said,"richness, can you take me with you?"

richness answered, "no, i can't. there is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. there is no place here for you."

love decided to ask vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "vanity, please help me!"

"i can't help you, love. you are all wet and might damage my boat," vanity answered.

sadness was close by so love asked, "sadness, let me go with you."

"oh . . . love, i am so sad that i need to be by myself!"

happiness passed by love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when love called her.

suddenly, there was a voice, "come, love, i will take you." it was an elder. so blessed and overjoyed, love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. when they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. realizing how much was owed the elder, love asked knowledge, another elder, "who helped me?"

"it was time," knowledge answered.

"time?" asked love. "but why did time help me?"

knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "because only time is capable of understanding how valuable love is."

从前有一个岛，所有的情感都住在那里：幸福、悲伤、知识和所有其它的，爱也不例外。一天，所有的情感听说小岛即将沉没，因此建造小船，纷纷离开，除了爱。

爱是唯一留下来的，因为它希望能坚持到最后一刻。

小岛即将沉没了，爱决定请求帮助。

富有驾着一艘大船从爱身边经过，爱说，“富有，你能带上我么?”

富有回答说：“不行，我的船上载满金银财宝，没有你的地方。”

虚荣坐在漂亮的小船中从爱身边驶过，爱问：“虚荣，你能帮助我么?”

虚荣说：“不行，你全身湿透，会弄脏我的船。”

悲伤的船靠近了，爱问：“悲伤，请带我走吧。”
