　　(96年“21世纪杯全国大学生英语演讲比赛”二等奖获得者，北京外国语大学 徐义成)

　　I'm grateful that I've been given this opportunity, at such a historic moment, to stand here as a spokesman of my generation and to take a serious look back at the past 15 years, a crucial period for every one of us and for this nation as well.

　　Though it is only within my power to tell about my personal experience, and only a tiny fragment of it at that, it still represents, I believe, the root of a spirit which has been essential to me and to all the people bred by the past 15 years.

　　In my elementary years, there was a little girl in the class who worked very hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons.

　　The teacher asked me to help her, and it was obvious that she expected a lot from me. but as a young boy, restless, thoughtless, I always tried to evade her so as to get more time to enjoy myself.

　　One day before the final exam, she came up to me and said, "Could you please explain this to me? I want very much to do better this time. " I started explaining, and finished in a hurry. Pretending not to notice her still confused eyes, I ran off quickly. Nat surprisingly, she again did very badly in the exam. And two months later, at the beginning of the new semester, word came of her death of blood cancer. No one ever knew about the little task I failed to fulfill, but I couldn't forgive myself. I simply couldn't forget her eyes, which seem to be asking, "Why didn't you do a little more to help me, when it was so easy for you? Why didn't you understand a little better the trust placed in you, so that I would not have to leave this world in such pain and regret?"

　　I was about eight or nine years old at that time, but in a way it was the very starting point of my life, for I began to understand the word "responsibility" and to learn to always do my duties faithfully and devotedly, for the implications of that sacred word has dawned on me: the mutual need and trust of people, the co-operation and inter-reliance which are the very foundation of human society.

　　Later in my life, I continued to experience many failures. But never again did I feel that regret which struck me at the death of the girl, for it makes my heart satisfied to think that I have always done everything in my power to fulfill my responsibilities as best I can.

　　Words like individuality and creativity are getting more emphasis and more people are rewarded for their hard work and efforts. Such is the era in which this generation ,grows and matures.

　　Such is the era in which this generation will take over the nation from our fathers and learn to run it. Yet in the meantime, many problems still exist.

　　We learn that crimes take place in broad daylight with crowds of people looking on and not assisting. We hear that there are still about 1 million children in this country who can't even afford to go to elementary schools while enormous sums of money are being squandered away on dinner parties and luxury cars.

　　We buy shoddy medicines, or merely worthless junk in the name of medicines, that aggravate, rather than alleviate our diseases since money, many people believe, is the most important thing in the world that must be made, even at the expense of morality and responsibility.

　　Such an era, furthermore, demands, that we are a generation with a clear perception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive will to take action and solve the problems. History has long been preparing these qualities in this generation and it is now calling us forward to give testimony to our patriotism and heroism towards this nation and all humanity.

　　Standing here now, I think of the past 15 years of my life as an ordinary student. Probably I'll be an ordinary man for the rest of my life. But this doesn't discourage me any, for I know that with my sense of responsibility and devoted efforts to always strive, for the best, it's going to be a meaningful and worthwhile life that I will be living.

　　I can't ever forget that little girl in my class who couldn't had the same opportunities as any of us here to enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopeful world tomorrow.

　　It is the sacred responsibility of this generation to face up to the challenges of the new century and to devote our sweat and blood, our wisdom and passion, to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier land for every one of us.

　　We are not going to evade that responsibility. We are going to let people down. And people, far and near, will hear of us. Frost will be brought to their backbones and tears to their eyes when our stories are told and retold, So let us go forth, my fellow members of this luckily chosen generation, and meet the new century in victory and glory.

　　LET MY SPEECH BE AN OVERTURE TO THE GRAND SYMPHONY OF MAN AND ANTURE

　　Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen:

　　When the topic “people and nature” first caught my eye, I was reminded　of a story about myself and my violin.

　　I began learning to play the violin when I was eight years old. At　first, it was a very hard thing for me. After my continued efforts, I was　able to play a lot of musical pieces very soon.

　　I felt so proud of myself that I began to behave arrogantly.

　　My violin teacher noticed this and told me: “To be a good violin player,　you should first of all love and respect your violin. You should obey the　rules of playing it so as to make harmonious melodies. Remember, play the　violin not only with your hands, but also with your heart and soul. ”　Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that nature is to people what my violin　is to me. Isn’t it true that people deal with nature just as I play the　violin? Isn’t it true that we have been so arrogant that we take liberties　with nature, which brings about the discord between nature and ourselves?　Since my violin and I have finally reached harmony, why can’t people and　nature head toward the same direction?

　　Ladies and gentlemen, we cannot wait. Nor can we afford to wait until　　the day when we find no city, no Hilton hotel, no lecture hall to hold any　　speech contests in. Let us love and respect nature, nature that is the　violin people have played for thousands of years. Let us treasure it, and　　play it with our heart and soul. Let us observe its rules while developing　our industry, modernizing our traffic system, and improving our living　conditions, so that one day, people and nature will together produce the　most beautiful and peaceful music.

　　On that day, I am sure to be there with my violin, to join the world　orchestra, in playing the ode to harmony, the eternal harmony betwee　people and nature.

　　Let my speech today be an overture to that grand symphony.

　　Thank you.
