Title: The Power of Dreams
Ladies and gentlemen,
Good afternoon! I feel honored to stand here today as the winner of the English Speech Competition. First and foremost, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my teachers, classmates, and family for their constant support and encouragement. Without their belief in me, I would not have been able to achieve this incredible feat.
Today, I want to talk about the power of dreams. Dreams are essential to our lives, as they provide us with motivation, inspiration, and a sense of purpose. They push us to strive for greatness and overcome obstacles. Dreams are what make life meaningful and fulfilling.
Dreams have the power to transform our lives. Look at the great inventors, entrepreneurs, and leaders throughout history. They all had a dream, a vision of a better world, and they worked tirelessly to turn their dreams into reality. From Thomas Edison's dream of harnessing electricity to Steve Jobs' dream of revolutionizing the way we communicate, these individuals changed the course of history because they dared to dream.
Dreams also have the power to unite us. When we share our dreams with others, we inspire them to dream big too. Together, we can create a collective vision for a brighter future. Just think about the moon landing in 1969. It was a dream that united the world and showed us that anything is possible if we work together.
However, dreams alone are not enough. We must have the courage to pursue our dreams relentlessly. We will encounter setbacks, failures, and doubts along the way, but we must never give up. As Walt Disney once said, "All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them."
In conclusion, dreams are the driving force behind human progress and achievement. They give us purpose, inspire us to reach for the stars, and unite us in the pursuit of a better world. Let us never stop dreaming and let our dreams guide us towards a brighter future.
Thank you.

Title: The Importance of Cultural Exchange
Ladies and gentlemen,
Good afternoon! I am truly honored to be awarded the first place in the English Speech Competition. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the judges for recognizing my efforts and to my teachers and friends for their unwavering support.
Today, I want to talk about the importance of cultural exchange. In our increasingly interconnected world, cultural exchange plays a crucial role in fostering understanding, tolerance, and cooperation among nations and individuals.
Cultural exchange helps break down stereotypes and prejudices. By immersing ourselves in different cultures, we gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of their values, traditions, and way of life. This knowledge allows us to see beyond surface differences and find common ground with people from diverse backgrounds.
Moreover, cultural exchange promotes mutual respect and empathy. When we engage with people from different cultures, we learn to respect their customs, beliefs, and perspectives. This not only broadens our horizons but also encourages us to question our own biases and preconceptions. Through empathy, we can bridge the gap between cultures and build meaningful connections.
Furthermore, cultural exchange sparks creativity and innovation. When people from different cultural backgrounds come together, they bring unique ideas, experiences, and skills. This diversity of thought and perspective fuels innovation and leads to new discoveries and solutions. Just look at the countless advancements made possible by collaborations between scientists, researchers, and entrepreneurs from different countries.
Finally, cultural exchange promotes peace and global understanding. When we learn about other cultures, we realize that we are all part of a global community. We start to see that our similarities outweigh our differences and that we share common goals and aspirations. This understanding fosters peaceful coexistence and encourages cooperation in addressing global challenges such as climate change, poverty, and inequality.
In conclusion, cultural exchange is vital for building a harmonious and inclusive world. It breaks down barriers, fosters mutual respect, sparks creativity, and promotes peace. Let us embrace cultural exchange and celebrate the rich diversity that makes our world so vibrant and beautiful.
Thank you.

I’m studying in a city that’s famous for its walls. People who visit my city are amazed at the imposing sight of its walls, especially when silhouetted against the setting sun with gold, shining streaks. The old, cracked bricks are covered with lichens and the walls are weather-beaten guards standing still for centuries.
Our ancestors liked to build walls. They built walls in Beijing, Xi’an, Nanjing and many other cities, and they built the Great Wall, which snakes across half our country. They built walls to protect against enemies and evil spirits. This tradition has survived to this day: we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public.
For a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world to me.
My perceptions, however, changed after I made a hiking trip to the eastern suburbs of my city. My classmates and I were walking with some foreign students. As we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by tall trees, which formed a wide canopy above our heads. Suddenly one foreign student asked me, “Where is the entrance to the eastern suburbs?”
“We’re already in the eastern suburbs,” I replied. He seemed taken aback, “I thought you Chinese had walls for everything.” His remark set off a heated debate. At one point, he likened our walled cities to “jails”, while I insisted that the eastern suburbs were one of the many places in Ch
That debate had no winners, but I did learn a lot from this student. For instance, he told me that some major universities like Oxford and Cambridge were not surrounded by walls. I have to admit that we do have many walls in China, and as we develop our country, we must look carefully at them and decide whether they are physical or intangible. We will keep some walls but tear down those that impede our development.
