We always say ‘we are the future’. Indeed. We, the younger generation represents modern knowledge, new concepts, ambition and great desire for success. But, have you ever thought of this question: how can we be successful in the 21st century, which is full of great challenges and fierce competitions? In my opinion, there are two important factors.

　　First, we have to catch the opportunities and face the challenges. China has successfully entered the World Trade Organization, Beijing has won the bid for the 2008 Olympic Games… If we want to be successful, we have to seize these opportunities. SARS and AIDS, environmental pollution, growing population… We have no choice but to solve these problems with our own hands. Thus, catching the opportunities and trying our best to cope with the difficulties is necessary for us to succeed in the 21st century.

　　Secondly, we have to learn to cooperate and compete. Last year, when SARS was spreading rapidly in China, scientists all over the world cooperated with each other and prevented the disease from spreading in a short period of time. At the same time, they were also competing against each other to see who could conquer the disease first. By cooperating and competing, the world develops day by day. Therefore, we, the younger generation, must know how to cooperate and compete.

　　Ladies and gentlemen, we are standing at the outset of a new century, we are at the gate of a new era. Looking back, the 20th century is a century of great developments and remarkable changes. Looking forward, the 21st century is a century full of opportunities, challenges, cooperation and competition. I believe, if we can seize the opportunities, face the challenges, cooperate and compete, success in the 21st century belongs to him, to you and to me

我们常说：“我们就是未来”。的确。我们，年轻的一代代表着最新的知识和观念、壮志雄心和对成功的巨大渴望。但是，你是否想过这样一个问题：我们如何能够在充满巨大挑战和激烈竞争的21世纪中取得成功？在我看来，有两点是非常重要的。
　　首先，我们必须抓住机遇、直面挑战。中国已经成功加入了世界贸易组织，北京已经赢得了2008年奥运会的承办权……如果我们想要成功，就必须抓住这些机遇。传染性非典型肺炎和艾滋病、环境污染、人口增长……除了用我们的双手解决这些问题，我们别无选择。因此，抓住机遇并竭尽全力去对付困难对于我们在21世纪的成功是必不可少的。
　　第二，我们必须学会合作与竞争。去年，当传染性非典型肺炎在中国流行时，世界各地的科学家通力合作，在很短的时间内使疫情得到了控制。同时，他们也在相互竞争，看谁能够率先攻克这种疾病。在合作与竞争的过程中，世界不断进步。因此，我们，年轻的一代，必须知道如何合作与竞争。
　　女士们、先生们，我们正站在新世纪的起点，我们正处在一个伟大时代的开端。回顾过去，20世纪是一个发展迅速、充满巨大变化的世纪；展望未来，21世纪是一个充满机遇与挑战，合作与竞争的世纪。我相信，如果我们能够抓住机遇、直面挑战、相互合作、相互竞争，21世纪的成功属于他、属于你，也属于我。

Awesome Love Good afternoon. Ladies and Gentlemen, Today I will say something about my family love. I remember when I was younger. My family lived a simple life. We weren’t wealthy by any stretch of the imagination, but we were content with what we had. Our first vehicle was an old broken-down bicycle. It provided us with transportation on many enjoyable weekends and holidays. Mom sat on the back while Dad pedaled. I, a mere toddler at the time, rode on the bar in front of him. It didn’t matter where we were going as long as we were going there together. Not long after that, my family moved to Hainan. Relying on my parents, courage and persistence, they started their own business. As a result, we were soon able to replace the bike with a new car. So we could travel further on our excursions. Our family’s happy laughter filled the car as we traveled to many distant locations in China. Many years have gone by since those happy days, but we’re still as close as ever. Recently, the airplane has become our mode of transportation as we venture beyond the confines of China to see the world. We were able to experience firsthand the uniqueness of Amsterdam, the romance of Paris, and the elegance of Vienna. But yet, such fantastic sites were nothing compared to the love of our family. Time goes by swiftly, and everything is changing all the time.Yet the love existing in my family always remains. It is the source of our happiness; It,s the source of all of our ideals: confidence, courage, and faith. But it goes so much deeper than that; it warms our very hearts. So I will acclaim for the eternal and awesome love in my family and let it go on forever! Thank you very much! 亲情 记得在我很小的时候，家里的日子过得朴实无华，不富裕的家境容不得半点的奢侈。但是，我们对所拥有的一切都感到满足与舒服。 一辆破旧的自行车是我们全家的第一个交通工具。但它为我们带来了许许多多快乐的周末与假期。记得妈妈总是坐在后座上，爸爸骑着车，而丁点儿大的我就呆在车子的前梁上。在我们的短程旅途中，似乎目的地并不是最重要的，而重要的是我们在一起，享受并渡过了快乐的时光。 在那不久后，我们全家搬到了海南，凭着父母的勇气与执著不懈的努力，他们在自己的事业上很快有了出色的成绩。因此，不久后父母就将原本的脚踏车换成了一辆崭新的小轿车，于是，我们就开始了长距离的旅途，在周游中国的同时，快乐的笑声总是布满着整个温馨的车厢。而那些日子虽然已经过去了很久，但是我们还是像以前那样亲密无间。 后来，在我们迈出中国游览世界的时候，飞机又成了我们的新型交通工具。我们全家一起感受阿姆斯特丹的奇异，巴黎的浪漫与维也纳的典雅。但是所有令人心动的景色都不可与旅途中我们全家浓浓的亲情相提并论。 时光如水，我们身边的一切都在无时无刻地改变着，但是亲情不变，永远不变。它是我们快乐的源泉，是我们全家理想、信心、勇气与责任的源泉。它所给予的不仅仅是这些。而更多的是心灵上的暖和与感动。所以，我要为亲情喝彩，让爱——永恒！
