Is choice a game that relies on chance or luck？ Is choice an empty promise that never materializes？ Or is choice a puzzle so difficult that we have to avoid it？
First， I would like to say: To choose means to claim opportunities。
I am a third-year English major。 An important choice for me， of course， is what to do upon graduation。 I can go to graduate school， at home or abroad。 I can go to work as a teacher， a translator， a journalist， an editor and a diplomat。 Actually， the system of mutual selection has allowed me to approach almost every career opportunity in China。
Indeed， this is not going to be an easy choice。 I would love to work in such big cities as Beijing or Shanghai or Shenzhen。 I would also love to return to my hometown， which is intimate， though slightly lagging in development。 I would love to stay in the coastal area where life is exciting and fast-paced。 I would also love to put down roots in central and western China， which is underdeveloped， but holds
great potential。
All of these sound good。 But they are only possibilities。 To those of us who are bewildered at the abundance of opportunities， I would like to say: To choose means to accept challenge。
To us young people， challenge often emerges in the form of competition。 In the next century， competition will not only come from other college graduates， but also from people of all ages and of all origins。
With increasing international exchanges， we have to face growing competition from the whole outside world。 This is calling for a higher level of our personal development。
Fifteen years ago， the knowledge of a foreign language or of computer operation was considered merely an advantage。 But today， with wider educational opportunities， this same knowledge has become essential to everyone。
Given this situation， even our smallest choices will require great wisdom and personal determination。
As we gain more initiative in choice making， the consequence of each choice also becomes more important。
As we gain more initiative in choice making， the consequence of each choice also becomes more important。
Nuclear power， for instance， may improve our quality of life。 But it can also be used to damage the lives and possessions of millions。
Economic development has enriched our lives but brought with it serious harm to our air， water and health。
To those of us who are blind to the consequences of their choices， I would like to say， To choose means to take responsibility。 When we are making choices for ourselves， we cannot casually say: “It’s just my own business。 ” As policy makers of the next century， we cannot fail to see our responsibility to those who share the earth with us。
The traditional Chinese culture teaches us to study hard and work hard so as to honor our family。 To me， however， this family is not just the five of us who quarreled over television programmes。 Rather， it is the whole of the human family。 As I am making my choices， I will not forget the smile of my teacher when I correctly spelled out the word “China” for the first time， I will not forget the happy faces of the boys and girls we helped to send back to school in the mountains of Jiangxi Province。 I will not forget the tearful eyes of women and children in Bosnia， Chechnya and Somali， where millions are suffering from war， famine or poverty。
All these people， known and unknown， make up our big human family。 At different points， they came into my life and broaden my perspective。 Now as I am to make choices for myself， it is time to make efforts to improve their lives， because a world will benefit us all only if every one in it can lead a peaceful and prosperous life。

Good evening， ladies and gentlemen， honorable judges and distinguished guest！ this is alex time！ ha-ha…my topic today is to show our gratitude to people around you。
Then what is gratitude？ at the moment a well-known song comes into my mind。 yes， that is called heart of feel grateful。 my heart is filled up with gratitude because i’m with you/your make me courageous to be myself from cradle to the grave/so now i wanna thank for destiny/i’ll cherish the flower when it blooms until falls。 the poetic lyric tells us that gratitude is actually a state of mind。
Once upon a time， the pilgrims took the may flower ship to north america。 they started a new life there although a lot of difficulties and hardships they encountered。 after a long-time work， they got a big harvest。 the pilgrims had a feast in 1621 near plymouth， massachusetts， which is often referred to as the first thanksgiving。 people show their sincere gratitude towards the god， the nature， the earth， the river， the indians and themselves。 moreover the 1621 feast has become a model for the thanksgiving celebration in the united states。 so we can see gratitude is an action to take。
How can we express our gratitude？ it’s never a simple question to answer。 gratitude is a rare jewel， not a piece of cake， i know。 but how can we expect such big events happening now and then？ how can we be ready to say thank you ahead of time？ how can we always hope to be grateful to everything and everyone for their dignity and generosity？ sometimes i may ask to myself。 is it moral？ is it honest？ is it beneficial？ is it necessary？ or the most interesting one， is it ridiculous？ ha-ha…so in my opinion， we’d better concentrate on our life’s details。 keep your eyes open to your daily life。 yes！ a shining smile is supposed to be gratitude。 a thank-you note is supposed to be gratitude。 a soulful watch is supposed to be gratitude。 as far as a baby’s crying on his arrival is supposed to be gratitude。 and even fallen leaves in autumn are supposed to be gratitude。 so the person， who stands here giving you a speech， is also showing his gratitude。
At last， what’s the significance of showing our gratitude？ a proverb says that gratitude is the sign of noble souls。 wow！ until now i am not that kind of giant， but i dare to say that everyone， you and me， has the right and the duty to show our gratitude to the world， no matter rich or poor， happy or sad， young or old。 only by doing so can we achieve our human ultimate concern。 meanwhile it obviously helps to build up a harmonious society。 under the same sky we enjoy the same sunshine and appreciate the same love due to thanking and caring each other。 well， does it plato’s paradise？
All in all， a world full of gratitude is preciously expected for thousands of years。 why not show our gratitude to people around you？
Thank you very much！
