Good afternoon ，ladies and gentlemen!

　　I’m very honored to stand here and give you a short speech! my topic is Opportunities and Challenges.

　　First, I would like to know, what does your destiny offer you? Happiness, wisdom, a strong body or something else. If I had asked this question to president Nixon, he would probably had said,”Our destiny offers not the cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity.”

　　Needless to say, one of the biggest opportunities given to China is the 2008 Olympic Games. Till now, we have used two sevenths of the preparation time. How much changes have you seen? New roads, new subway lines, public-exercising equipments with beautiful colors, large blocks of grass fields, and also lots of modern gyms which are under construction.

　　Other than those, there are even more good effects brought to us by the Olympic Games that cannot be seen directly. For example, more and more people will get to know China. I’m sure the mysterious Chinese culture will attract them strongly. And the games will also do good to the economy and environment, for it is gaining the attention of foreign investors and the awareness of environmental protection is being strengthened. What is more, Olympic Games give a unique opportunity to inspire and educate a new generation of Chinese youth with the Olympic values and the Olympic spirit. Now that we have seen so many advances, could you even imagine us losing the holding rights?

　　I’ve already said a lot about the Olympics and China. But I think everyone should use some time to think of this question, ”Does the Olympic Games have any special meaning to you?”

　　For us, I mean the Chinese youth, 2008 Olympic Games is a tremendous gift. Because what we are waiting for is to do something significant as repaying the love given to us .The society is just like a ship, and in our dreams the captain is waving his hand and saying ”Hey! Come here and take the helm! ”How charming his voice is, but we have never heard of it in our true life. This morning, however, when we wake up, we will see the Olympic Games waving its hand. After chewing, most of us will have at least one plan about what to do for the Olympic Games. And mine is to be a “comforter” ----that is someone who will give comfort to others.

　　At the end of my speech, I hope all the preparation will go well, and everyone will show their ability to the world. Let us seize opportunities and give a big smile to challenges.

　　女士們,先生們,下午好!

　　我很榮幸站在這里給你一個簡短的講話!我的主題是機遇和挑戰。

　　首先,我想知道,你的命運給你什么?幸福,智慧,一個強壯的身體或者其他東西。如果我有問這個問題尼克松總統,他可能會說,“命運給予我們的不是失望之酒,而是機會之杯。”

　　不用說,給中國一個最大的機會是2008年奧運會。直到現在,我們已經使用2/7的準備時間。你看過多少變化?新的道路,新的地鐵線路,public-exercising設備用美麗的色彩,大量的草地上,還有很多在建的現代健身房。

　　以外,有更加好的效果帶給我們的奧運會,不能直接看到。例如,越來越多的人了解中國。我相信神秘的中國文化會強烈吸引他們。和奧運會也將做良好的經濟和環境,因為這是獲得外國投資者的關注和保護環境的意識正在加強。更重要的是,奧運會給一個獨特的機會來激勵和培養新一代的中國青年奧林匹克精神和奧林匹克精神?，F在我們已經見過這么多的進步,你能想象我們失去了持有的權利嗎?

　　我已經說了很多關于奧運會和中國。但我認為每個人都應該用一些時間來思考這個問題,“奧運會有什么特殊的意義嗎?”

　　對我們來說,我的意思是中國青年,2008年奧運會是一個巨大的禮物。因為我們正在等待做重要的是償還給我們的愛。社會就像一艘船,我們的夢想隊長揮舞著他的手,說:“嘿!來這里掌舵!”他的聲音是多么迷人,但我們從未聽說過在我們的真實生活。然而今天上午,當我們醒來時,我們將看到奧運會揮舞著它的手。咀嚼后,我們大多數人至少都會有一個計劃為奧運會做什么。和我的是一個“被子”——這是會安慰別人的人。

　　在我演講的最后,我希望所有的準備工作將順利,每個人都將向世界展示他們的能力。讓我們抓住機遇,給挑戰一個大大的微笑。
