on the international day of united nations peacekeepers, we honour the sacrifices of the men and women who lost their lives while serving under the un flag.
this year's commemoration is a somber one. the past 14 months have been especially deadly for un peacekeeping.
ambushes in darfur...terrorism in kabul...and a plane crash in haiti...these were among the tragedies that struck peacekeeping last year, killing 121 people.
that toll was nearly matched in a few seconds with the devastating earthquake that struck haiti last january. the united nations stabilization mission in haiti lost 96 peacekeepers -- the biggest single loss of life in peacekeeping history.
but that dark day also became one of our finest hours, as the men and women of minustah set aside their own trauma, got the mission quickly back on its feet, and helped the people of haiti cope with the horrific aftermath.
as we honour such moving displays of courage and dedication, we also pay tribute to the more than 122,000 military, police and civilian personnel who serve with distinction in our operations across the world.
their efforts directly help millions of people...
by providing security and promoting reconciliation...
by clearing land-mines and demobilizing combatants...
by strengthening institutions and the rule of law...
by delivering aid and repatriating refugees and displaced persons
by supporting democratic elections, reforming the security sector...
peacekeeping is an indispensable part of the un’s work for a better world. let us give it the support it needs to succeed.
as we all know, in XX beijing olympic games will be held, every person are eagerly looking forward to its arrival, carefully exploring the life of the details, we can easily see that the olympic spirit is everywhere.
between neighbors, we help each other; colleagues, in addition to competition, everyone has even more made on the friendship of the first. everyone has to start with oneself, the protection of the surrounding environment. olympic atmosphere is diffuse in my home, parents have taken attention from the message of the olympic games, all brothers and sisters from time to time to talk about the various stories related to the olympic games.
everyone is on the olympic games has its own expectations, and i also believe that china will certainly be able to better organize the olympic games and win honor for our country !
win at the starting line
good afternoon, everyone. very happy to see so many new faces here. i am wang pengyuan, a senior student from class 1101. today, it gives me a great honor to give a welcome speech here, to share with you some of my experiences as well as give you some suggestions in the beginning of your college life.
actually, i am very much curious about your definitions of a good college life at this special point. someone once complained to me that the college life is totally a waste of time and money. do you think so? the answer is definitely no. here i want to tell you that if you try to manage your college life well, you will find that it will be really a valuable part of your life.
and now i’m going to share with you my personal experiences of my college life. i remember when i was a freshman, a junior student was giving a speech on this stage i was so impressed by her, and made my mind to study hard. so what i did in my pervious three years was just about making full use of college resources to develop my own potentials. in my first year, i studied hard as i did in my high school, attending every class, listening to teachers carefully, reviewing after class and doing homework by myself. college at that time was a brand new stage for me, i was trying to find my way of adapting to it quickly. i participated in various kinds of activities to improve my abilities, such as joining in the students union, going to the old people’s home, selling newspapers outside campus, taking part in chorus competition and recitation contest. i think my ability is somehow improved through the year of efforts.
the second year was a very important turning point for me. i tried to learn more by myself and then apply the knowledge into practice. the very important event for me is the 18th china daily 21st century cup national english speaking competition in which i got the first prize in our school. but what i want to mention is only the benefits i gained from this competition, for example, my english speaking ability has been improved, and no longer afraid of saying a word in public and also i made friends with many students from other universities with whom i can share experience. and some other competitions like hubei provincial translation and interpreting competition, and so many more.
another part is the social activities. in july XX, i went to singapore to be a volunteer in the second international traditional martial arts competition. that was also an amazing experience in my life. as you can see that i witnessed with my own eyes a different culture thus broadening my horizons. so here i want to appeal to you all that seize every opportunity to develop yourself, for the college is an integrated platform in the journey of your life through which you are bound to grow up.
the third years seems like a great leap for me. equipped with the solid foundation i laid in the previous two years, i further participated in some important major-related contests, such as the outlook talent show held by cctv, the fifth cross-strait interpreting competition and national english ability competition. through all these contests, i found myself much more confident in the road ahead.
next i’m going to give you some suggestions to help you manage your college life better.
suggestion1: learn as much as possible.
for most of us college can be an unforgettable period for us to learn something. some one once said that university is like a dye vat, which means that you may be easily influenced by others. if you want to learn something you will be embraced by knowledge and wisdom; and if you don’t have the desire to learn you will find you get nothing after 4 years’ college life.
suggestion2: cultivate your potentials and interests.
as we know, university is an integrated platform compared with high school. you do not need to bury your head in the books all day long. you need to conduct your self-cultivation and find where your interests lie in. for example, if you have the talent for dancing, you can join in the dance association. just show it. life will be colorful if there is joy.
suggestion3: always be optimistic and hopeful.
everybody knows that college life is mostly determined by ourselves. sometimes you may find that teachers can’t instruct you in every aspects. so you may easily come across difficulties with which you will get bored. but please remember that life has its ups and downs, adversity is just part of our lives. be optimistic, you will always find your way out.
in a word, combine all the suggestions i’ve mentioned above with your own characteristics and stick to it, you will find success lies in somewhere along the road.
ok, since time is limited, i will stop here. if you have further question, come to me, i will always be willing to help. that’s my part for today. thank you.

大家下午好，今天非常高興能和這么多新鮮的面孔相聚於此。我叫王xx，大四1101班的學生，今天感到萬分榮幸能在這和大家分享自己的經歷並且在你們大學生活剛開始的時候給你們一些建議。
其實我十分好奇你們在這樣一個時間點對於一場精彩大學生活的定義。有人曾經抱怨說大學四年完全是浪費時間和金錢, 對此，你們是這樣認為的嗎？答案是否定的。我想告訴大家的是，只要你們好好經營自己的大學生活，它將成為你們人生中的寶貴財富。
接下來我想和大家簡單分享一下我大學的經歷。我始終記得我大一的這個時候一位學姐在這個台上給我們分享經驗的場景。我當時被她的英語口語深深震撼了，因而決定努力奮鬥，爭取達到像她一樣的水平。所以，我在大學期間所做的其實就是充分利用大學的各種資源發展自己的潛力，提升自己的水平。大一的時候，我像高中那樣刻苦學習，從不逃課，上課認真聽講，課後認真複習，獨立完成作業。那個時候，大學對於我來說是一個全新的人生階段，我必須想辦法讓自己儘快適應它。為了提高自己的能力，我積極參加各種各樣的活動和社團，諸如加入學生會、走訪敬老院、街頭義務賣報、紅歌合唱比賽及朗誦比賽等。通過一年的努力，我的能力在很大程度上得到了提高。大二一年，對我來說是一個非常重要的轉折點。我嘗試著學習儘可能多的知識並將其運用到實踐中。第十八屆中國日報社21世紀杯全國英語演講比賽就是我大學生活中仍舊光彩奪目的一筆，我非常幸運地獲得了學校的特等獎。但其實名次遠遠不是最重要的，重要的是我從這個比賽中真的收穫了很多。很明顯，我的英語演講能力得到了一定程度的提升，從此不再懼怕在公眾面前發言，同時我也認識了一些在英語方面志同道合的朋友，能一起共享英語學習心得。其他諸如湖北省翻譯大賽等，我就不在此一一贅述。此外，社會志願活動也值得一提。XX年7月，我有幸能夠作為一名志願者赴新加坡參與第二屆xx國際傳統武術大賽。同樣也是我人生中一次有價值的體驗，我親身感受了一種不同的文化，開闊了眼界。在這裡，我想告訴大家的是，大學是我們人生旅程中一個綜合的平台，我們應該抓住每一個提升自己的機會，只要這樣才能得到成長。
大三這一年對於我的成長進步又是一次巨大的飛躍。有了前兩年打下的英語基礎，我參加了更多重要的學科競賽，獲得中央電視台“希望之星”英語風采大賽湖北省決賽一等獎、第五屆海峽兩岸口譯大賽一等獎、全國大學生英語競賽一等獎等。經過這樣一系列的賽事，我對英語學習的道路更加有信心。接下來，我會給大家一些建議，以幫助大家為自己的大學時光增光添彩。
建議一：涉獵知識，充實自己
對於在座的大多數同學來說，大學四年將會是你們人生中異常寶貴的學習時光。有人曾經作過這樣的比喻，大學就像一個染缸，這就意味著你的行為很容易會被他人左右。其實，如果你下定決心去學習，你會被知識和智慧環繞；但如果你失去了學習的欲望，你的大學四年可能會一無所得。
建議二：發揮潛力，培養興趣
大家都知道，相對高中來說，大學是一個綜合的平台。我們不需要整天埋頭苦學，而是要力求全面發展，修身養性，找到自己的興趣所在。比如說，如果你熱愛跳舞，不妨加入舞蹈協會去鍛鍊自己。大膽去展示吧！有樂趣的生活才會多姿多彩。
建議三：樂觀向上，充滿希望
可能大家聽說過，大學生活由自己主宰。有時候你會發現師長們不會告訴你每件事該如何處理，所以有時候對碰到的困難感到手足無措實屬正常。但是，請記住，生活充滿了跌宕起伏，困境僅僅只是生活的一部分。保持積極樂觀，你總會找到出路。
總之，大家應該把自己的特點與上述建議相結合，並堅持下去，你會發現成功就在離你不遠的地方等著你。
