my interest in english had definitely been awakened when i began to learn the english alphabet at school. just imagine, he went a step further and asked me to learn new concept english by myself! i was confused and even angry. i could not understand how a father could be so strict with his little girl. all the same, he never gave up and he gently insisted that i follow through with his ideas. at first, i read stories with tears in my eyes and i actually hated them because they were too difficult for me. i eventually came to love the funny stories and, to be honest; my father was always there with a helping hand. i am sure that my english would never have come so far without his support. and thats how my father is not only my first english teacher but also my lifelong teacher. he is the one who awoke my interest, who gave me confidence and who offered me much needed help.h: next one is contestant number 3. so whats your topic today?c: my topic is about a chance.h: a chance?c: yes, a chance!h: what kind of chance?c: its a chance for all of us, for whole humanity as i could say. but mostly its for chinese.h: ok, so now lets listen to that.c: hi，im alex from bei jing no.80 middle school. its an honor for me to have this opportunity to share some of thoughts with all of you at this moment.as we all know, beijing has the opportunity to host the 2008 summer olympic game. we have been waiting for years for this chance to show others around the world to our very home, and show them the combination of technology, history, and environment that we all cherish well. were pretty satisfied with our nationality, locally. but as i traveled to a few foreign countries, i realize that some children with chinese backgrounds are unwilling or ashamed to be what they are, because of some unavoidable racism and racial discrimination. and some are just embarrassed because they have black hair, brown eyes and yellow skin; they think being like this makes them look ugly, some even wished that they were caucasian. its a sad reality that these people really exist. so i realized that how important it is to make understanding between others and us. so, what does racism have to do with the 2008 olympics? as i have mentioned, its a chance. but it isnt just a chance for us to go and show others our culture. its a chance for us to go and show some people who we really are, its a chance for us to go and show some people that if they can do it, we can do it, too. its a chance to let them change their view about us forever, and then they will know that no matter what race you are we are all the same, no race is more better than the other in any field. but this chance only comes for once in a lifetime; lets not waste it. i dont think anyone wants to wait for another fifty years; the future is now. so dont stand there and wait, you have to run to it. maybe things will happen during this marathon, but one thing is for sure, we will all make it. so lets not lose faith.h: as we just said that for the consistency of the judgment of the judge panel, after all the first 3 contestants have finished. our judges will have a short discussion about their marks. so now wed like to ask our judges to leave for a while for discussion.ok, a few minutes ago, the first 3 contestants have finished their job in speechs contest. and the judges had a short discussion about their marks. now our judges had reached agreement and they are coming back. welcome back!and also lets welcome back the first 3 contestants onto the stage.so, pro. gong, have you reached any agreement on their marks?j: well, yes, basically agreement. roughly we almost the same.h: ok. so please score for the first 3 contestants from contestant number 1 to number 3.h: now lets give the floor to contestant number 4 yu li.c: on the day of my departure at the railway station, when the train began heading north, i caught sight of the silhouette of my grandpa swaggering away homebound. his voice echoed, reassuringly: boy, cheer up, show your best to the world!grandpa had been a constant figure in my childhood, much more available than my office-bound parents. he was there to see me grow up, caring and nurturing me. i used to be a shy boy, taciturn and self-isolated in my books. little had i imagined that id be facing this kind of english contest some day. when i was 7 years old, my elementary school once held a biennial poem recitation contest. as you could have imagined, i balked at the idea of partaking in. i dreaded the thought of delivering a mini-speech in front of a horde of people, with din and pandemonium in the school auditorium. to make it worse, the silly extravaganza was likely to be spoiled by those parents seemingly sneering at childish voices, making fun of our innocence and naivet. alex, what a holy shame to get involved. nevertheless, grandpa insisted that i should join in, with his reassuring voice he went:boy, dont take yourself seriously, come on and show your best! eventually, i did it and succeeded.as my grandpa always said, life is full of joy and challenges with challenges predominating, that i shall never panic and lose sight of my priorities in face of it, rather to adhere to my principals of hard work, perseverance and self-confidence. thus now i look forward to challenges rather than shying away from them and i value the determination that guided me through the struggles.thanks to his sustained support, i made my way here. though the challenge ahead is tough, i can still believe this gentle old man: oh yes, cheer up, show my best to the world.h: so please enter your score for contestant number 4.and the next one is contestant number 5. c: after i read the books of harry potter，i am greatly touched by the fantastic magic world. how i wish if i could have a magic-stick just like harry to make all my wishes come true!if i have a magic-stick，ill make president bush stop the war on iraq. i dont think its a rightful war，because america neither care about un，nor other countries complaining，and started the war all by itself！from the news，we all know clearly，that a lot of citizens of iraq died or hurted seriously. i feel very sorry to see that. if i can stop every war in the world with my magic-stick，i believe the whole earth will be a paradise for everyone else.if i have a magic-stick，i will build a new school building for all my schoolmates. as the building is built by itself and itll finish in one night，we dont need to move to other schools，we dont need to spend any time or money on it. itll be very quiet and without any pollution. itll have the greatest facilities in it. if i have a magic-stick，i will design a new kind of uniform for all the students in summer，when its very hot，the uniform will spray some small drops of cool water on your legs and arms. in winter，itll get thicker with the temperature. you even dont have to wear sweaters，only this uniform can make you feel that the spring is here right now！when it rains or snows，it can shelter your uniform getting wet. when its windy，it can shelter your eyes from sandstorms，too. and we girls will like it a lot，because itll keep us away from the sunburn！if i have a magic-stick，i will go back to the past to learn more about history，ill travel around the world to revise my store of knowledge. ill protect our environment and the wild animalsif i have a magic-stick，i want to do so many things. although i can never have one，i still want to tell everybody，sooner or later，all my dreams will be done！because at the time，my hands will be the magic-sticks! believe me！i can！h: im sorry. time is up. i have to interrupt you.lets see how the judges will evaluate your performance in this round.h: ok. the next speaker is contestant number 6.c: the dream we have some days ago, i saw a picture in a newspaper. in the picture is a frightened girl. the four-year-old girl has just become motherless and homeless, and is lying in the arms of a doctor. her pink clothes are bloodied and her hollow eyes are staring at something only she can see. people can always see images like this on tv. we see little children begging food and water from soldiers. we see dead bodies of common people deserted in the dust of bombing.we see heavy smoke rising from the burning cities, covering the solid blue sky. every time we see these sad scenes, the only word that bursts out of our heart is peace, peace, peace! but where on earth is the real sweet peace? actually, peace has always been the most beautiful wish of all the humans on the globe, but when we look back on the human civilization, there are millions of war nightmares flashing before our eyes-tears in mothers eyes, birds standing on burnt logs, cameras in dead journalists hands, wastelands after inhumane killings. faced with all these terrible sights, our hearts are weeping. we are wondering why killings are found everywhere when we know peace is our desire. we are wondering why we cant bring an end to wars which are making us suffer. we are wondering why we have to destroy our only home instead of making efforts to decorate it. maybe we havent found the answers to these questions, but well try to pursue them. maybe peace is still far away, but we still hold strong belief in it. we have a dream that one day the sky will no longer be covered with the clouds of bombing, so that white doves can fly freely. we have a dream that one day the earth will never cry, and the world will be full of the fragrance of flowers. we have a dream that one day all the people in the world, no matter they are white or black, yellow or red can join their hands together like brothers and sisters. we have a dream that one day there will be true harmony of humans and animals, without famine, without diseases, without pollution, without conflicts and without killings. just as a famous song goes, heal the world, make it a better place, for you and for me, and for the entire human race.h: ok. now the first 6 contestants have finished their speeches. and if you want to know their ranks in this round, well be back soon.good evening! welcome back to cctv 4th annual star of outlook english talent competition. and you are watching the teenagers semi-final.in todays competition, all the 14 contestants are fighting for to be in the final. and now the first 6 contestants have finished their speeches. and lets take a look at the scoreboard for their ranks and marks.and here we still got 8 more contestants to continue the competition. next, lets have a look at contestant number 7s personal information.ok, now lets welcome contestant number 7. so you really like music very much?c: i hope so.h: yes, so are you talking about music?c: my topic today: bring chinese music to the worldim sure all of you would still remember the chinese traditional music performance in vienna golden concert hall. that night, spectators were all entranced by the undulating rhythm, the entire hall was flooded by long time applause. its a time to be proud of not only by the chinese music world but also the whole nation where the music was nurtured.for decades, we are constantly concerned about lots of questions. can national music permeate into more foreign lands? can the fancy melody fuse with more foreign races? and can the profound culture grow into prosperity in more foreign countries?people often say: what belongs to one nation becomes universal. as a treasure of our ancient culture, traditional music reflects this wise saying. in china, the famous music can be cherished deeply in every chineses heart; in foreign countries, it arouses the nostalgia of the overseas chinese; in the whole world, it can one day inspire resonance between people with different skins and languages.look at the enthusiastic and persevering warriors who dedicated themselves to bring chinese music to the world, i have a dynamic impulse to join them immediately.please believe me, my friends. i will exert my utmost strength for it.please walk by my side, my friends. lets strive together for the bright and glorious future of chinese traditional music in the world!thanks for your attention!h: ok, now our judges will mark for contestant number 7s speech.thank you! the next speaker is contestant number 8. c: my topic today is friendsi remember when i was younger, my grandmother used to tell me many stories. today i would like to share with you one of my favorites.once, there lived a young boy. he was very sad because he couldnt keep his friends. one day he asked his father why this was so. his father only replied: son, each time you say or do something that hurts one of your friends, hammer a piece of wood into the ground. the curious boy did as he was told and soon he had made a fence out of the wood.father! he cried, i cant get out! i am blocked by this fence! well, son, each time you say something nice to a friend, you can take one piece of wood out. the boy did this, too. on the first day he took out one piece of wood and on the second day he took out another two. on the third day he took out some more. finally he had removed all of the wood. but father! he cried again, look at the holes in the ground! they are big and dark! oh, how ugly! son, his father said, this is why you arent able to keep your friends. remember:
