Good morning/afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
Consider the lowly toilet. Many of you may not think of the toilet as a form of technology if you think of toilets at all. But, it is and has contributed greatly to the improved health and overall quality of life for mankind.
On a recent trip to Japan, I was impressed by, among other things, a gadget in most public women's restrooms, called Otohime or Sound Princess. This device produces the sound of flushing water without the need for actual flushing. The technology saves the user both the embarrassment of being heard during urination and some 20 liters of water per use in cases where a woman might flush the toilet continuously while using it.
Every time I used Otohime, I felt like a princess, an environmentalist princess on the toilet.
It was a longed for feeling. Over the past decade, I shuffled in and out of many kinds of public restrooms in China--filthy smelly water closets in outlying areas, spacious luxurious lavatories in five-star hotels, forever-occupied girls' stalls on campus during school, and smart modern mobile toilets in international fairs. But not one single "room" evoked my pride of being a princess.
And I knew why the Sound Princess had. It was not because of the high technology the small bathroom boasted which is becoming ubiquitous worldwide. It was the idealism embodied in the technology that keeps reminding me that in this ever-changing world, I am a responsible and dignified human being even when sitting on a toilet.
Humanism, no matter how it is defined, aims to strike a balance between us being at the mercy of nature and being too human-centered. In my case, I haven't relieved myself under a tree for a while. I am a proud, dutiful Chinese citizen. Gone are the days when people just found a corner to do their business resulting in poor sanitation and threats to public health. The Otohimetechnology renders me two warnings: First, I am a humble human being with an obligation to save not only my face but also natural resources. Second, there is still a long way to go in my own country not just in developing technology and the economy, but also in upholding human dignity and promoting human welfare. Take the toilet: Dirty, crowdedtoilets shall, at least, give way to clean, human-friendly ones.
Fortunately, I have seen improvements. At Shanghai World Expo , 8,000 toilets, all modern and technologically sophisticated, were installed across the site. What really delighted the visitors, however, was the user-friendly design and services. Toilets were situated every 100 meters. Several hundred volunteers served as toilet guides and sanitation workers. The ratio of female to male toilet space was set at 2.5 to 1. Soft music was played in the toilets. All this seems to celebrate the glory of comprehensive humanism.
Ladies and gentlemen, science and technology are here to improve earthly life and maximize human happiness. When our world benefits from technology, coupled with human considerations, we are bound to enjoy our life. Conversely, we suffer.
The toilet is a piece of sanitaryware and the quintessence of humanism that underlies technological innovation. Like GNP, employment rates, and space exploration efforts, the lowly equipment is an equally important measure of a progressive society. When on a toilet if we feel like a princess, we shall be proud of living in a society that values humanity. If not, we must stand up and make some changes.
And if you are still baffled with what I have said, I suggest you take off right now and go experience the bathrooms in this auditorium, because they are what makes our life beautiful or ugly, humanism considered or ignored.
敬爱的老师,亲爱的同学们:
你们好!我竞选的岗位是我们班的英语学习委员一职。之所以要竞选这个岗位,是因为我的的英语成绩一直都是芝麻开花――节节高。
在我很小还在呀呀学语的时侯,妈妈就开始引导我看事物图片,认英语单词。上一年级,妈妈为我购买了学英语丛书等资料,并陪我一起看单词,学句子。从三年级起学校开设英语课,老师也开始给我们教授英语,妈妈精挑细选地给我买了与教材配套的英语光碟。由于以前我对英语的痴迷,这时我学英语更如鱼得水,喜不自胜。上四年级,我的英语已经有了较好的基础,为了继续发展,我每晚都要读一遍英语课文和做一些英语资料,因为妈妈经常告诫我说反复练习,熟能生巧。现在,我已上五年级了,英语老师说我对英语有特异的敏感性,不但发音标准,而且语速流畅,对单词和句型的掌握熟练,运用自如。因此,每次质量检测时我的成绩都会在全年级名列前茅……可以说,上五年级的我,已经能用流利的英语进行滔滔不绝地演讲了。
如果我成为我们班的英语学习委员,同学们有不懂的单词和句子,我会不厌其烦地一对一地辅导,或集体领读;在课前,我会井井有条地组织大家预习新课,复习旧课;如果老师上课万一有什么疏漏之处,我会及时地予以提醒;请相信,我会想方设法让我们对上英语课始终保持浓厚的兴趣;同时,我还会主动请同学们监督我当选后履行职责的情况,虚心听取意见和建议,积极改进工作,使得我班同学的英语成绩在全级独树一帜。
说得好,不如做得好,请大家拭目以待吧。最后,希望大家多多支持我当选为咱们班的英语学习委员。我的演讲完毕,谢谢大家!
