Communication is an important mean of expressing yourself

Communication is an important mean of expressing yourself because it exists different ways of expression and so different kind of communication depending on the culture you belong to .
The way of communicating will not be the same as other countries and it is important to know some values of other cultures and so of other ways of communicating for, first of all, avoiding some misunderstandings and then knowing better some aspects of different cultures .
That is why cross-cultural communication is an essential exercise to do; a person who come from a certain country does not necessarily get the same ideas about time, death, identity, as an other one from a different country because each person has its own identity .
First, a national identity, defned by a surname, a first name, citizenship, and a "personal" identity perceived as what are your activities, your opinions about issues or your experience in life .
Sometimes, your own identity can be modified or influenced by different factors, for example religion, your environment, your family.
The latter example seems to be a paradox because you can get your own opinions about something but you can be "influenced" by your familial surrounding or the society where you live (especially some notions that parents and even society teach you when you are a child, as patriotism or nationalism) .
This influence can replace your previous vision of life and changing your way of expressing yourself and so your way of communicating but you can also adapt this influence to your own way of thinking and it can be resulted in a different way of communicating .
In spite of a certain influence coming from a close surrounding, everyone can develop its own identity through its opinions and experience and this is interesting to notice that even within a close group of people, each person get different

英国女王登基60周年庆典演讲，学英音的好素材来啦！

My Lords and Members of the House of Commons,

各位上下議院的議員們:

I am most grateful for your Loyal Addresses and the generous words of the Lord Speaker and Mr. Speaker.

我非常感謝主議長和議長先生的衷心讚揚。

This great institution has been at the heart of the country and the lives of our people throughout its history.

這個偉大的機構(議會)已經成為國家歷史的心臟和我們民眾生活的生命。

As Parliamentarians, you share with your forebears a fundamental role in the laws and decisions of your own age.

作為國會議員,你分享了你的祖先中的一個根本性法律。

Parliament has survived as an unshakeable cornerstone of our constitution and our way of life.

議會已經成為不可動搖的基石,存在於我們的憲法和生活方式中。

History links monarchs and Parliament, a connecting thread from one period to the next.

歷史聯繫著君主和議會,像一根紐帶把一個時代和下一個時代連接起來。

So, in an era when the regular, worthy rhythm of life is less eye-catching than doing something extraordinary, I am reassured that I am merely the second Sovereign to celebrate a Diamond Jubilee.

所以,在做不平凡事比平常生活更受關注的時代,我很高興我能成為第二個慶祝鑽禧年的君主。

As today, it was my privilege to address you during my Silver and Golden Jubilees.

到今天為止,你們能參加我銀禧和金禧的盛典,我很榮幸。

Many of you were present ten years ago and some of you will recall the occasion

in 1977.

十年前你們中的很多人也出席了。你們中的一些人依然能回憶出1977年的情景。

Since my Accession, I have been a regular visitor to the Palace of Westminster and, at the last count, have had the pleasurable duty of treating with twelve Prime Ministers.

我在位期間,我是威斯敏斯特宮的常客,至今為止,我和12位首相有過愉快的合作。

Over such a period, one can observe that the experience of venerable old age

can be a mighty guide but not a prerequisite for success in public office.

在這樣一個時代,年長者的經驗很管用,但對於擔任公職來說卻不是成功的先決條件。

I am therefore very pleased to be addressing many younger Parliamentarians and also those bringing such a wide range of background and experience to your vital, national work.

我也很高興向很多年輕議員提建議,我也把廣泛的背景知識和經驗運用到日常國家事務

中。

During these years as your Queen, the support of my family has, across the generations, been beyond measure.

當女王的這些年,來自我家庭的幾代人的支持難以衡量。

Prince Philip is, I believe, well-known for declining compliments of any kind. But throughout he has been a constant strength and guide.

菲利普親王因為拒絕各種讚揚而出名。但是,他是一個堅定的支持者和嚮導。

He and I are very proud and grateful that The Prince of Wales and other members of our family are travelling on my behalf in this Diamond Jubilee year to visit all the Commonwealth Realms and a number of other Commonwealth countries.

威爾士王子和其他家人將代表我在鑽禧年出訪所有的英聯邦王國和部分英聯邦國家,他和

我都感到非常高興和自豪。

These overseas tours are a reminder of our close affinity with the Commonwealth,

encompassing about one-third of the world’s population.

這些海外行程將使佔世界三分之一的人口的聯邦成員國緊緊聯繫著。

My own association with the Commonwealth has taught me that the most important contact between nations is usually contact between its peoples.

我與英聯邦國家交往的親身經歷告訴我國家之間最重要的聯繫通常是人民之間的聯繫。

An organisation dedicated to certain values, the Commonwealth has flourished

and grown by successfully promoting and protecting that contact.

該機構提供固定的價值,鼓勵和保持成員之間的聯繫,促進聯邦國繁榮和發展。

At home, Prince Philip and I will be visiting towns and cities up and down the land.

在國內,菲利普親王和我將會訪問南北方的城市和郡縣。

It is my sincere hope that the Diamond Jubilee will be an opportunity for

people to come together in a spirit of neighbourliness and celebration of their own communities.

我真誠地希望,鑽禧典禮將成為人們團結的一個良好契機,傳遞友善的鄰里關係和他們的

社區價值。

We also hope to celebrate the professional and voluntary service given by millions of people across the country who are working for the public good.

我也希望能夠表彰那些在公共領域工作的,來自全國各地自願提供服務的數百萬人民和專家。

They are a source of vital support to the welfare and wellbeing of others,

often unseen or overlooked.

他們是為公眾福祉提供重要支持的源泉,卻往往被忽視。

And as we reflect upon public service, let us again be mindful of the remarkable sacrifice and courage of our Armed Forces.

我們對公共服務進行思考,讓我們再一次注意到我們軍隊做出的卓越貢獻和勇敢。

Much may indeed have changed these past sixty years but the valour of those who risk their lives for the defence and freedom of us all remains undimmed.

在過去的六十年裡,許多已經改變,但是為了守護國家和我們的自由而獻身的勇氣會永存。

The happy relationship I have enjoyed with Parliament has extended well beyond the more than three and a half thousand Bills I have signed into law.

我和議員之間的愉快關係很好地延續著已經超過我簽署3500份法案的時間。

I am therefore very touched by the magnificent gift before me, generously subscribed by many of you.

結果我收到了非常壯觀的禮物,你們中許多人慷慨地付出了。

Should this beautiful window cause just a little extra colour to shine down upon this ancient place, I should gladly settle for that.

如果這扇漂亮的窗戶能為這個古老的地方增添色彩,我將為此感到高興。

We are reminded here of our past, of the continuity of our national story and the virtues of resilience, ingenuity and tolerance which created it.

在這裡,我們想起過去我們國家的故事,國民的堅韌性、創造力和寬容心。

I have been privileged to witness some of that history and, with the support of my family, r

I have been privileged to witness some of that history and, with the support of my family, rededicate myself to the service of our great country and its people now and in the years to come.

我親歷了其中的一些歷史,在我家人的支持下,現在和將來,我將致力於為我們偉大的國家和人民服務。

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.

湯姆很為他的狗“小黑”感到驕傲。一有機會他就會讓它玩一些把戲來取悅他的朋友。

一天，湯姆去看他的朋友傑克。傑克因重感冒生病在家。 “現在感覺怎麼樣？”湯姆問。 “比昨天更厲害了。”傑克說，“我咳嗽得很厲害，家裡一點藥也沒有。”“別著急，傑克，我讓黑子去藥房買點藥，他一會兒就會回來的。”湯姆把一張五美元的鈔票放在黑子嘴裡，小黑向街上跑去。 “記得找零錢。”湯姆追在小黑後面喊到。

“別傻了，湯姆，狗是不會把藥買回來的。”傑克說。 “噢，不，他會的。”湯姆說。半小時之後

小黑還沒有回來。湯姆有些著急並對他朋友臉上露出的一絲笑意感到生氣。

“小黑一定是出什麼事了，”湯姆說，“他一直很聽我話的。”就在這時，他遠遠地看到了小黑並趕緊跑過去開門讓黑子進來。傑克看到小黑嘴裡的藥瓶子真吃了一驚。

“好小子，”湯姆說,“但是怎麼花了這麼長時間呢？”小黑朝窗子跑去，邊叫邊揺尾巴。湯姆從門往外一看，看見了一根骨頭。

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.

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!

Never, Ever Give Up

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.
