The story of Franklin
Franklin's life is full of charming stories which all young men should know -- how he sold books in Boston, and became the guest of kings in Europe; how he was made Major General Franklin, only to quit because, as he said, he was no soldier, and yet helped to organize the army that stood before the trained troops of England and Germany.
This poor Boston boy, without a day's schooling , became master of six languages and never stopped studying; this neglected apprentice conquered the lightning, made his name famous, received degrees and diplomas from many colleges, and became forever remembered as "Doctor Franklin", philosopher, scientist and political leader. Self-made, self-taught, the candle maker's son gave light to all the world; the street bookseller set all men singing of liberty; the apprentice became the most sought after man across the world, and brought his native land to praise and honor him.
He built America, for what our nation is today is largely due to the management, the forethought, the wisdom, and the ability of Benjamin Franklin. He belongs to the world, but especially he belongs to America. The people around the world honored him while he was living; he is still regarded as the loftiest man by the common people today after his death. And he will live in people's hearts forever.
Clever Blackie 聪明的小黑 Tom was very proud of his dog Blackie. Whenever he got the chance, he would ask his dog to please his friends with some tricks .
One day Tom went to visit his friend Jack who was sick at home with a bad cold."How are you feeling ?" asked Tom."Worse than yesterday," answered Jack, "I have a terrible cough , and there is not a drop of medicine in the house. "Don't worry, Jack. I'll send Blackie to the drugstore for some medicine. He'll be back in a minute before you know it." Tom put a five dollar note in Blackie's mouth and the dog ran down the street. "And keep the change," Tom shouted after him.
"Oh, Tom, don't be silly . You know that dog won't be back with any medicine," said Jack. "oh, yes he will." answered Tom. Half an hour later , however,Blackie had not returned . Tom was feeling worried and felt angry at his friend's little smile.
"Something has happened to him, I'm sure," said Tom. "He obeyed me as a rule." Just then Jack saw Blackie at a distance . He hurried to open the door and let him in. Jack was shocked to see a bottle of medicine in the dog's mouth.
"Good boy," said Tom, "But what took you so long?" Blackie ran to the window, barking and wagging his tail. Tom looked out of the door and saw a bone outside.
We often hear people say, “Never give up.” These can be encouraging words and words of determination. A person who believes in them will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.
One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel discouraged but should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow as people. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted. Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.
In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident people. Furthermore, if we give up, we have no chance of attaining our goals, but if we keep trying, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.

Hi, everyone! My name is XXX. Today my topic is: “I Love English”.
English is now used everywhere in the world. It has become the most important language on internet. Learning English makes me confident and brings me great pleasure.
When I was eight , my father sent me to an English school. There, I played games and sang English songs with other children. Then I discovered the beauty of the language, and began my “colorful dream “in the English speaking world.
Every day, I read English along with the audio tapes. Sometimes, I like watching English movies for children, such as Finding Nemo, Harry Potter and so on. These movies not only improved my English, but also allowed me to have a lot of fun. Outlook English also helps me a lot in my English studies, I have been watching this program for nearly two years.
I hope I can travel around the world some day. I want to go to America because it’s one of the most developed countries in the world. I also want to go to England because English originated from England,and it’s also one of the most developed countries throughout the world.
I love English, English has already become part of my life. Do you like English, my friends? If you do, come with me. Let’s enjoy the fun of learning English together.
That’s all, thank you!

After many years I learning of second language, have you enjoyed learning it? I bet most of your guys will say no, because second language is like a curse bounding to you, since we went to school, we haven’t been able to get rid of it. Actually, if we learn to enjoy the beauty of language, we will find its power. The power of language expresses in its function. Language makes people from all around the world communicate. People in different countries speak different languages, it is hard for them to understand each other, while the power of language connects people together , English is the worldwide language, people have the idea to learn the same language to understand each other. In Chinese areas ,people learn English as the second language, so there is no problem for them to communicate with foreign people. Language provides the stage for people to understand each other, its power is so strong.
We warmly welcome everyone to participate in our English writing speech contest to promote your English level and exchange of learning experience.
