不是百度的，老美真正的演讲：
Dear friends, I want to tell you about the cultural artifact which has been in my family for many decades. This is the cushion with the hand-made cross-stitch. I believe it is a masterpiece, because it is the complex work which depicts the fairy wood with a glade and a house on it.
I have chosen this artifact because I believe that the best human memory about family values and past days is kept e to the photographs and such sweet things. To my mind, every family should have some kind of cultural artifact to have the symbol of family relations and those roots which help us overcome difficulties and cope with challenges.
This cushion was embroidered by my grand-grandmother. I remember her sitting in the garden and embroidering. She was a wonderful person who lived long and interesting life full of challenges. For me, she was the wisest person in the world and I listened attentively to each her word. She taught me that though fairy tales are unreal by definition, we should strive to make our lives better, at least partially similar to a tale. This cushion is the symbol of home warmth, family love and care, and other precious values which make our lives happier. It is kept like a relic. My mother told me that first it was just a wonderful cushion of great value because of hand-made embroidery, but after the death of my grand-grandmother it became priceless. My grandmother took it as memory, and also it was decided that this cushion will be descended by female line. So, later it will be kept in the house of my mother.
I believe that such cultural artifacts are important for any person, because they remind us of who we are, where we are from and what are our strengths. Looking at this cushion I remember the days of my childhood, but also I remember who I am now and what I am striving for. "Your family supports you", this cushion whispers, "Be brave and strong". I now and I am. I wish everybody to have such symbol of family relationships.

Do you know the second most melodious language of the world? Most of you can fluently speak French and a couple of other European languages. So, whenever the question arises about the melodious language, we eagerly switch to the renowned language of Baudelaire, Verlaine and Rimbaud. But do you know the second most tuneful language which is frequently compared to the song of a nightingale and the rustle of wind in the grove? Do you know what language is spoken in the geographical center of Europe (and where is it situated)? Can you guess what the meaning of words "palianitsia" and "bereza" is? Have you ever tasted "deruny" or "chanaha"? Finally, would you like to read the enchanting verses by great Romantic poet in original?
I won't torture your curiosity by asking more questions. Those who are interested will find out the answers in the course of Ukrainian language. For the song of a nightingale and the wind in the leaves associated with Ukrainian language, geographical center of Europe is located in Cherkassy, 200 km far from Ukrainian capital Kyiv... Remaining answers are reserved for those who will now write down their surnames on the sheet of paper and start learning this fascinating East-Slavonic language. My personal experience in learning and teaching shows that such decision has never been a disappointment, ring my whole 10-year long lecturing experience. This language is difficult for foreigners e to complex grammar, but upon mastering it you will be able to enjoy using words that contain music in themselves. You will be able to read poems by Taras Shevchenko or master any other language from the Slavonic linguistic group. As for the practical benefits, I think it's enough to mention that Ukrainian Diaspora in Canada includes up to 1 million people; as for more local perspectives, the University of Toronto is maintaining long-time friendly relationships with Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, and enthusiasts are always welcome for an amicable sight-seeing tour, academic research or even recruitment as a lecturer. Evidently, fluent Ukrainian is highly desirable in this case.
My offer is quite challenging, for only learning Ukrainian is a tough, although worthwhile experience. Only the most motivated and the most hard-working can accept this challenge. But let me assure you that those who will give a try will find out that the "journey itself is the reward"(3). Brave-hearts, come to the front desk right now and enter you surname into the list - and see you next Thursday at 8-30. As for the other students, let me thank you for your attention. Good-bye!

Less than a year is left to enjoy the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games. Sustainability has become a credo of the Olympic movement since the 1990s. The forthcoming event is not an exception. The "Green games" concept is what I would like to clear up, welcoming the idea of the Olympic competition built to high environmental standards. This concept implies the existence of a green sports fan, capable of enjoying the drama of competition without damaging nature.
The 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games would gather together lots of fans from all over the world who in their enthusiasm are not too friendly to the environment. Yet, when the event is over, the place should look as it was before this invasion of sports fans. How do we all care for the host place and how is the nature of Vancouver is integrated into the event so much expected? I have consulted the available websites to inform you about all preparations, hopes and potential problems. First, I'll dwell upon the green policies promoted by the International Olympic Committee. Second, I'll inform you how sustainability will be implemented at Olympic stadiums.
Sustainability can be promoted through sports. The 8th World Conference on Sport and Environment, held ten days ago in Vancouver, emphasized innovation and inspiration in the global Olympic movement. Highly representative, this conference held that the National Olympic Committees play an important role in the sports' involvement in sustainable development. By this, sports and environmental protection get united as powerful aspects of global sustainable interventions.
Vancouver is preparing for the games, building new stadiums, hotels, improving the infrastructure system, and arranging cultural programs. Technological advances will be felt everywhere for the pleasure of both athletes and sports fans. Each sports event wants to be serviced in the best possible way. Canadians love winter sports. I am sure Vancouver will be full of pleasant surprises.
Athletes are important role models who inspire youth involvement in sports and encourage action. The idea of "green games" gives a new turn to the Olympic movement. It promotes global consciousness of sustainable development which becomes one of the leading policies of Olympic Games. The Olympic movement is not only fascinating and spectacular competition. Olympic Games unite all people, irrespective of nationality, ethnicity, race, and social status. It brings about a strong, positive feeling of pride for the country and for the whole world, as well as gives us all hope that peace will dominate globally. Olympic Games is always a holiday, a celebration of being one humankind, young, and competitive. I hope Vancouver will make known the new names of bright sportsmen known and adored around the world. Olympic Games can make wonders, presenting different countries to sports fans worldwide.

Fashion has become a large part of identity making in the post-human world in which people play dress-up with their clothing. Fashionable clothes reinvent people as sexual, desirable, and enigmatic. We care about what we wear a great deal because our culture emphasizes an outward appearance. Fashion changes every season, squeezing our wallets.
A gorgeous event London fashion week attracts all lovers of fashion from all over the world. It was held in March, using the official London Fashion Week Catwalk. This 450-seater catwalk celebrates the best of the best British designers of clothes. The event was well advertised. You can surf this event's Internet page to enjoy beautiful pictures that covered it up. It was the embodiment of luxury and power, having proved again and again that fashion is in a constant state of flux, generating fantastic new styles and new feelings. Demonstrations of fashionable trends are amusing and inviting to copy trendy features, visible to an eye. First, I will inform you what hot trends London fashion week has promoted. Second, I will inform you why London Fashion Week is so popular.
This season's trends are inspired by cinema, popular culture, and religious icons, with glamour, creativity, and modest beauty combined. Domestic goddess, African Queen or Ethereal Nude, inspires SS/09 wardrobe. All the freshest trends, hot off the catwalk of London, are enjoyable. It is not only a pleasure of renovating your image and counting the money to be spent on the fashionable trendy designer clothes but also a mission to introce others, less fussy about trendy things, to a new fashionable trend that every show promises.
London Fashion Weekend is a single event that gives access to a large number of London Fashion Week designers, classic labels, and the hottest trendy garments. 150 designers are not only showing their newest designs but also selling ready-to-wear pieces at a bargain (at least it is advertised so) price. You may choose from Christopher Fischer, Collado Garcia, Crumpet, Belle & Bunty, Ben de Lisi, Alice McCall, Garguz, Inexcess Dashion, Janet Reger, John Smedley, Karl Doroghue, Sass & Bide, Nicky Dupont, Madeleine Press, My Lovely Jeans, and some others. This year's new designers are Luella, Richard Nicoll, Emma Cook, and Eley Kishimota. All of them pursue their philosophy of fashion that can be made out only when all is seen as one trendy entity in color, cut, and accessories.
You may not be chasing fashion but you can't be indifferent because fashion is inherent in our culture and people are always impressed by those who know the taste of trendiest trends. Our appearance depends on what we are wrapped in; fashion is about our social status, success, indivialism, and good taste.
We like clothes that wear well. We dream of clothes that impress. We desire clothes that make us aggressively gorgeous.
