Does beauty really make much sense?

Last week in our English class,we had a very heated discussion on the topic—does beauty really make much sense?

 Here are tips for a successful speech from a professional speechwriter：

No speech should last more than 20 minutes.1.      The Sermon on the Mount,a collection of sayings and teachings of Jesus,for example,lasted hardly more than three minutes.

  Focus on one topic. We’re human beings and tend to have lots of thoughts,opinions and ideas. You have to make the proper selection. 2.       Include and expand only those that explain and support your viewpoint (觀點(diǎn)).

  3.       It’s important to remember that your words must be hearable and understandable.

  Humour is vital.4.      Ronald Reagan always wanted to joke at the start of a speech because he needed the quick victory of laughter. It helped him relax. It also helped the audience relax.

  Don’t forget to say thanks. You should always,at the beginning of the speech,thank the person who invited you and introduced you.5.      While you’re doing it,the audience gets a chance to daydream and settle down. They’re going to daydream at some point anyway,and it may as well be before you get to the heart of your remarks.

   A. Choose your words carefully.

   B. And saying thanks at the beginning has a practical purpose.

   C. First you have to work out what you’re going to say.

   D. Every speech needs it,and you need it,too,probably at the beginning.

   E. Stick to one subject -the future of the soccer club,for example.

   F. This process takes time,so start once you begin thinking about the speech.

   G. The more important the message is,the less time it requires to say it.

  I will never forget the year when I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be 1        Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought ,“What would I say when the other kids asked what I’d 2      ?” Just when I started to 3        that there would not be a Christmas gift that year,three women 4        at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of 5       that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn’t 6       Somebody had thought 7        of me to bring me a gift.

  Years later,when I stood in the kitchen of my new house,thinking how I wanted to make my 8        Christmas there special and memorable,I 9        remembered the women’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of 10        for as many children as I could possibly reach.

  So I 11 a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤兒) at the Christmas party. For every child,we wrapped colourful packages filled with toys,clothes,and school supplies,12       with a child’s name. We wanted all of them to know they were 13      . Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts,I 14        them that they couldn’t open their presents 15        every child had come forward. Finally the 16        they had been waiting for came as I called out, “One,two,three. Open your presents!” As the children opened their packages,their faces beamed and their bright smiles 17        up the room. The 18        in the room was obvious,and 19        wasn’t just about toys. It was a feeling—the feeling I knew 20        that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn’t forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.

  Nowadays,the computer technology develops very fast that the Internet has become more and more popular. Some students regarded it as a great helper. Because there a lot of information online,so you can surf the Internet for any information you need in a short time without working hard in the library. This is also very convenient to talk with others by using the Internet. Moreover,other students think that there is some information online which is not good for students. In addition,spend too much time playing games will not only have a bad effect on their studies but also do harm for health. Therefore,we should make properly use of the Internet. It is of great important to separate good plants from wild weeds.

  Perhaps the most interesting person I have ever met is an Italian professor of philosophy who teaches at the University of Pisa. 1 I last met this man eight years ago,I have not forgotten his 2        qualities. First of all,I respected his 3        to teaching. Because his lectures were always well prepared and clearly delivered,students crowded into his classroom. His followers liked the fact that he 4        what he taught. Further more,he could be counted on to explain his ideas in an 5        way,introducing such aids (輔助) to 6        as oil paintings,music,and guest lectures. Once he 7        sang a song in class in order to make a point clear. 8      ,I admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talk with them 9        the telephone. Drinking coffee in the cafe,he would easily make friends with students. Sometimes he would 10       a student to a game of chess (國際象棋).11      ,he would join students’ groups to discuss a variety of 12      ：agriculture,diving and mathematics. Many young peo ple visited him in his office for 13        on their studies;others came to his home for the social evening. Finally,I was 14        by his lively sense of humour. He believed that no lesson is a success 15        during it the students and the professor 16        at least one loud 17        Through his sense of humour,he made learning more 18        and more lasting. If it is 19        that life makes a wise man smile and a foolish man cry,20        my friend is indeed a wise man.

 Many students may feel 1.        (stress) because of their parents. Most parents have good intentions,2.      some of them aren’t very helpful with the problems their sons and daughters have in 3.        (adjust) to college,and a few of them seem to go out of their way to add to their children’s 4.        (difficult).

  For one thing,parents are often not aware of the kinds of problems their children face. They don’t realize that the 5.      (compete) is stronger,that the required standards of work are 6.        (high) ，and that their children may not be prepared for 7.        change. They may be upset by their children’s poor grades. At their kindest,they may 8.        (gentle) ask why John or Mary isn’t doing better,whether he or she is trying as hard as he or she should,and so on. At their worst,they may threaten 9.        (take) their children out of college or cut off liv ing expenses.

  Sometimes parents think it right and natural that they determine 10.        their children do with their lives.

  They forget that everyone is different and that each person must develop in his or her own way.
