　　My view on opportunity

　　Good morning!

　　Honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen:

　　Different people might take different views upon opportunity. Some people regard opportunity a rare thing that is difficult to get. But other people think that every one has some kind of opportunities from time to time. As for me, I prefer the latter opinion. A western saying tells us, “Every dog has its day.” Everybody has opportunities to be successful. In fact, no one can be denied by opportunities. Those who claim they don’t have good luck just can’t recognize or make good use of opportunity. So we must try our best to find it and make best use of it. Opportunities are not windfalls. Opportunities belong to those who are prepared and qualified. For example, before Newton many people had seen an apple falling down from a tree, but only Newton discovered the Law of Gravity. The reason is that he had developed a habit of thinking over answers to problems and stuck to his studies in spite of difficulties.

　　As we all know, China is a country with a large number of young people. We are compared to the rising sun, giving youth, energy and new blood to our nation. So we must try to live up to the expectations of our motherland by squarely facing and taking every opportunity we meet in order to make the most worthwhile contribution we can to the world as well as our motherland.

　　Yes, opportunities are coming. With our talents and with our wits, with our courage and with our creativity, let us whisper, loudly in our minds: Let it come! Let it come!

　　Thank you.

　　我的机遇观

　　尊敬的评委，女士们，先生们：

　　早上好！

　　不同的人对机遇有不同的看法，有人认为机遇很稀少，以致于很难得到，而有些人认为每个人都有着一定的机遇。

　　就我而言，我比较同意后者的观点，西方有句名言说的好，“狗都有好运当头的一天”。 是的，每个人都有成功的机会，没有人会被机遇拒绝；那些自称他们没有好运的人，只不过是没有认识和抓住机遇罢了。所以，我们得尽全力去寻找机遇，并好好把握它。

　　机遇不是天上掉下来的馅饼，机遇只属于那些有能力获得和有准备的人。

　　例如： 有很多人见过

　　中国有着许多像我们一样，被视为早晨升起的太阳，崭新的充满希望的一代青年人。我们只有面对机遇，抓住机遇，为祖国及世界做出贡献，才能不辜负祖国人民的期望。

　　现在，机遇来临了。凭着我们的天分与智慧，凭着我们的勇气和创造力，让我们私底下大声地说：“让它来吧！让它来吧！”

　　谢谢！
