Title: Embracing Diversity: The Key to a Harmonious Society
Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished judges, and fellow students,
Good morning! It is truly an honor to stand before you all today as the recipient of the first prize in the National College English Speech Contest. Today, I would like to share with you my thoughts on the topic of embracing diversity, and how it is the key to building a harmonious society.
In our ever-changing world, diversity has become an inevitable reality. Whether it be differences in race, ethnicity, religion, or culture, diversity exists in every corner of our society. However, instead of being fearful or resistant to diversity, we should embrace it and recognize its value.
Firstly, embracing diversity fosters greater understanding and empathy among individuals. When we expose ourselves to different cultures and perspectives, it allows us to gain a broader understanding of the world. By learning about different customs, traditions, and beliefs, we become more open-minded and tolerant. This understanding and empathy are crucial in building bridges between people from different backgrounds, and in turn, creating a harmonious society.
Secondly, diversity fuels innovation and creativity. When individuals with different experiences and perspectives come together, it creates a dynamic environment where new ideas can flourish. Research has shown that diverse teams are more likely to produce innovative solutions to complex problems. By embracing diversity, we can tap into the full potential of our society and drive forward progress in various fields.
Lastly, embracing diversity promotes social harmony. In a world where social tensions and conflicts often arise from differences, it is essential to foster a sense of unity and acceptance. By embracing diversity, we send a powerful message that everyone is valued and respected for who they are. This inclusivity not only helps to reduce discrimination and prejudice but also creates a sense of belonging for all individuals, regardless of their background.
So how can we, as individuals, embrace diversity in our daily lives? Firstly, we can educate ourselves about different cultures and traditions. By seeking out opportunities to learn and engage with people from different backgrounds, we can broaden our horizons and challenge our own biases. Secondly, we can actively promote inclusivity and respect in our communities. By celebrating diversity and encouraging dialogue, we can create an environment where everyone feels accepted and valued.
In conclusion, embracing diversity is the key to building a harmonious society. It fosters understanding, fuels innovation, and promotes social harmony. As we move forward in this ever-changing world, let us embrace diversity with open arms and work towards creating a society where everyone can thrive. Thank you.

Title: The Power of Small Acts of Kindness
Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed judges, and fellow students,
Good morning! I am incredibly humbled and grateful to be standing before you all today as the recipient of the first prize in the National College English Speech Contest. Today, I want to talk to you about the power of small acts of kindness and how they can make a significant impact on our lives and society.
In a world that often seems full of negativity and division, it is crucial to remember the power that lies within each of us to spread kindness and make a difference. Small acts of kindness may seem insignificant, but they have the power to brighten someone's day and create a ripple effect of positivity.
Firstly, small acts of kindness can have a profound effect on individuals. A smile, a kind word, or a simple gesture of help can make someone feel seen, valued, and appreciated. These small acts can provide comfort to those who may be going through a difficult time, and they can remind us of the inherent goodness in humanity. By extending kindness to others, we not only uplift their spirits but also cultivate a sense of compassion within ourselves.
Secondly, small acts of kindness can foster a sense of unity and connection in our communities. When we extend kindness to others, it creates a chain reaction of positivity. People are more likely to pay it forward and spread kindness to others, creating a domino effect of goodwill. These small acts can strengthen the bonds within our communities and create a supportive and caring environment for all.
Furthermore, small acts of kindness can inspire and motivate others. When we witness acts of kindness, it reminds us of the power we possess to make a difference. It serves as a reminder that even the smallest gestures can have a significant impact. By leading by example and showing kindness to those around us, we can inspire others to do the same, creating a collective effort towards a better and more compassionate society.
So how can we incorporate small acts of kindness into our lives? It can be as simple as offering a listening ear to a friend in need, volunteering at a local charity, or even just saying thank you to those who serve us daily. It is the intention behind these acts that matters most—a genuine desire to make someone's day a little brighter.
In conclusion, the power of small acts of kindness should never be underestimated. They have the ability to uplift individuals, foster unity in communities, and inspire others to spread kindness. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, "Be the change you wish to see in the world." Let us all strive to be the driving force of kindness in our lives and create a society where compassion and empathy prevail. Thank you.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Today I would like to begin with a story.
There was once a physical 1) therapist who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a 2) census about mountain 3) gorillas. These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world; this put them severely under threat of 4) poaching and being put into the zoo. She went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures. She witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we've ever been, where in the very depth of the African rainforest, su
Yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called Gorillas in the Mist, based on a true story of Mrs. Dian Fossey, who spent most of bet lifetime in Rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.
To me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a 6) timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our ecoenvironment.
Today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems. On the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go. It has become a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in GDP growth. It has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity. But on the other hand, many problems can occur---natural scenes aren't natural anymore. Deforestation to heat lodges is devastating Nepal. Oil spills from tourist boats are polluting Antarctica. Tribal people are forsaking their native music and dress to listen to U2 on Walkman and wear Nike and Reeboks.
All these 7) appalling(令人震惊的) facts have brought us to the realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been 8) eroding(侵蚀) our resources.
Encouragingly, the explosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the United Nations has made 2002 the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the world's attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our ecoenvironment.
Now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection organizations an: receiving donations--big notes, small notes or even coins--from housewives, 9) plumbers(水管工人), ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and 10) invalids(残疾人), Some of them can not afford to send the money but they do. These are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood. Why? Because they care. Because they still want their Mother Nature back. Because they know it still belongs to them.
This kind of feeling that I have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it, it's all coming from a scene to remember, a scene to recall and to cherish.
The other night, as l saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs. I found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to some- thing else, someplace else. a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seem to have been except the deer.
And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's lime for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation. Once again, I have come to think of Mrs. Dian Fossey be- cause it's with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.
And no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our mind, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.
Thank you very much.
Thanks,contestant#18.The topic for your impromptu speech is:Which is more important for you: knowledge from books or personal experience? Answer: Thank you. I remember, on my very first day of my beloved university, one of my professors said to me,“From now on, you’ll be on a journey between who you think you are and who yo can be.The key is to allow yourself to continue the journey in the ocean of the books.”And I do learn a lot from books: I know the geometry of Euclid, logic of
Aristotle, fable of Aesop known to children around the world. Well, no offense to all those great authors of the books, but during my three years at my university, I do realize that personal experience through practice means more to me. As we are in this global information age where both economic growth and inpidual opportunity are based on ideas, a commitment to providing all human beings the golden opportunity to develop themselves is so vital, not only to the people here, but all around. As we are in this transformational age where communications and commerce are global, investments are mobile, technology is almost magical, and the ambition for a better life is now universal, and I think this is why we are here today. We want to earn our personal experience through practicing our oral English, sharing our opinions of tourism and ecology with all the judges and audience here. And I think we are so lucky to be alive at this moment of the history. Never before have our nation enjoyed so much prospertity and so much social progress with so little internal crises.And never before have our young people had so much great opportunity to practice ourselves and, therefore, have a profound obligation to build a more perfect nation of our ancestor’s dream. And I think our government had provided us young people with the tools and condition to build the future of our dreams. Even if we know some rules, some regulations, or experiences from our books, we still simply cannot graft it onto today’s busier, more impersonal,complicated world. Instead, our challenges is to arrive at a consensus values and common vision of what we can do today inpidually andcollectively to build a strong family and strong community, and above all, make the world a better place for us to live. Thank you very much. Contestant#18, in your speech, you talked about ecotourism. Could you explain to us difference between ordinary tourists and e-tourists, or ecotourists?
