在中国人文社会科学的江湖上流传着这样一个传说：得外语者得天下。外语就好比倚天剑、屠龙刀，凡在学界与业界号令群雄者，大抵都有良好的外语功底。外语在今日仍是判断某一个体系精英与否的试金石，是界分精英与普罗大众的重要指标。

   Keeping Hungry and Seeking for Value of English for English Majors Benjamin Franklin says: “If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him, an investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.”

   From my point of view, for English major students,it is always important for us to keep hungry and foolish in seeking for value of English.Keeping hungry and staying foolish mean that we need to have a mind like a beginner looking at something new.Only if we are never satisfied with our knowledge, can we enable us to enrich our experience and increase the awareness of the significance of knowledge.English is both simple and complex.With rapid changing in technology and society, English has become an international language that is well recognized by people around the world. As a result, English plays an increasingly big role in business, trade and cultural exchange, which sets up a new stage for our English major students.Hence, expanding our scope of English knowledge and improving ourselves is the pressing demand for us.This will help us gain a greater advantage in the competition. It is highly desired for you to keep hungry for English knowledge and lay a solid foundation in language.

   What's more, we are supposed to have greater priority to discovering and seeking for the value of English.For an English major, the process of learning English is just discovering the wonder of English.Learning English is equal to acquiring the tools that will never lose value.

   As far as I am concerned,English is a solid bridge connecting us with the world; English is a torch in the darkness leading us to the road of knowledge; English is a tree of wisdom which protects us from the wind and rain of knowledge; English is a diligent bee spreading over the perfume of flowers; English is the charming flower bringing us the breath of success.English not only makes options for us to have a better understanding of the different culture of other countries, but also cultivates our ability of thinking and communication.

   As is known to all, good communication is the first step to success.Besides, it is helpful to learn about how language shapes the world, which consists of a variety of discourses such as politics, religion, philosophy and others. Good language skill is greatly beneficial to us.

   Values of English vary from person to person. For me, the main value of a foreign language degree and more in English is its great communication value for me.It is needless to say that value of English will never depreciate andgoes beyond any price.Therefore, what I wish is that you should put ample emphasis on the value of English.

   From my perspective, it pays to exert ourselves to learn English to keep abreast of the changes of societyin the new era with the ever-accelerating and updating of science and technology. English will lead our country better to the international world, soit is our unshakeable duty to learn English well and make greater contributions to our country.

   As English majors, keeping hungry and seeking for the real value of English are our chief mission at college, which are the ladder heading to the height of wisdom and the stepping stone for us to climb to the peak of our life. They make the tremendous sense of our youth, the colorful web knitted by our dream and the evergreen tree of our values.

   Thus, keeping hungry and seeking for values of English are crucial for foreign language learning.I hope you will bear it in mind and make continuing progress.

   老师的点评：题目新颖，文章有原创，有长度，有文采，有层次，展得开，也有深度。开篇引用名言，结尾点题呼应，巧用比喻、排比等修辞手段，有虎头豹尾的深刻印象。文章结构合理，行文流畅，紧扣主题，排比，比喻丰富但原作虽少许语言小错，仍不失为一篇优秀作文。

   A Welcoming Speech to English Major Freshman

   With the rapid development of economics in our country, many college students would be more willing to choose economy, business or other applied science as their major. Nonetheless, I recommend you a better choice, English major, which is not only great fun but also useful major.

   I have been an English major student for about two years. I have learnt many kinds of English classes, like Integrated English course, Oral English course, Intercultural Communication course, English Writing course and so on. In each of these courses, our teachers teach us all in English, which helps us learn how to communicate in English better. You can learn about lots of aspects of different cultures from Integrated English course. For example, you can learn about various other countries' food, clothing, shelter and transportation, culture, customs and so on, which would greatly broaden you horizon, have a better understanding of other people about their behaviors or languages and you will learn to be a good communicator with foreigners.In addition, you can also appreciate various foreign literary masterpieces, videos and audios, more than you can expect. And you will be immersed in an English world, falling in great love with English language.

   Except for the pleasant the feeling that you can get from the English major, there are also lots of practical advantages. It is universally acknowledged that, nowadays the trend towards economic globalization is developing in greater depth.English is becoming a world language. By majoring in English, you master great English language skills, which is an outstanding advantage for you.

   Last but not least,you can easily read English books, browse foreign websites on you own, without translation,so that you can obtain freely the latest information and technologies, which will greatly benefit your career development.

   老师的点评：该篇作文开篇新颖，结构良好，行文流畅，结合自我，展开写作，紧扣主题，但修辞手法，结尾段稍显虎头蛇尾，长度和震撼度还不够，原作语言小错也不少，但白璧微瑕，仍不失为一篇优秀作文。

   A Speech About Passion for English Major Freshmen

   For some people, majoring in English is actually not a sensible option with the consideration of future career. It appears that specializing in English means spending our precious four years on mere mastering a foreign language, which most of our counterparts have learned more or less.English majors seem to have little competitiveness in job hunting, so on and so forth. In spite of this, I still have a deep love for my major – English major

   First and foremost, the curriculum set for English majors has offered us great opportunities to be exposed to a real English environment. Moreover, language is so clearly culture-related that we feel like encountering new cultures distinctive from ours, which appeals to me most.Having a better understanding of foreign cultures allows us to achieve smoother communications.It does have beneficial effect on bridging various cultures in the world.Communicating in another language involves not only linguistic skills, but also the ability to think differently, so that we can enter another culture's world and get to know the world better.

   Secondly, with its greater expansion, English has become the leading international language.Conferences as well as papers are mostly presented in English. This implies that having good command of English contributes greatly to further understanding and information update.Not only can we know about current affairs worldwide immediately, but also be able to be acquainted with latest technology.It's our professional language skills that serve as a stepping stone for us to keep pace with the times. Hence, I can't agree more to the fact thatthose who help the globalization process bettermay not be those equipped with the latest technology or the most fashionable mobile phones, but the ones with better skills to understand what lies in, under and beyond the words in many different languages.

   All in all, it is the passion for language, the hunger for life, the openness to the world and the quest for truth that motivates me to major in English.I just take great pride in being an English major.

   老师的点评：该篇颇有创意，紧扣主题，结构合理，用词较好，巧用排比，，但长度不够，原作语言虽小错，仍不失为一篇优秀作文。

   Welcoming speech for freshmen 2016

   Jackie Wong (黄中习)

   Hello, my dear freshmen! I’m Jackie Wong, one of your teachers.

   First, my thousand thanks to your wise choice of our college. Please accept my respectful congratulations to you ALL! You’re welcome to be a member of the harmonious family of our department, the Department of Foreign Languages, GDUF. You’re welcome to be part of our life. You’re just our new hope and our bright future.

   Second, since you’ve turned to be part of our life, we’ll do whatever we can, together with our excellent colleagues, to help your growth & progress in your study, health and integrity. We’ll listen to your concern, heart & soul, helping you adjust to the new college life and make progress day by day.

   Since you’ve come into our united family, my dear freshmen, we’ll experience, together with you, the wonder of English learning, the miracle of talent potentialities, and true meaning of free spirit, self-reliance and independent personality.

   Third, in the following four years, we are very pleased to be your guides and friends in a myriad of language practice, research projects and campus activities, which will give full play to your unimaginable potential. As you go on to experience the real world communication, we will initiate you to more social practice, helping you know better your true self, the present society, the spirit of research and the value of human life.

   As your seniors and teachers, we’ll be pleased to offer we have, in hand and atheart, to you in your next dream transition in your life, whether it is job-hunting or further graduate studies. Just remember, the success of our university as well as our department relies much on your achievements. We have every reason to believe in your coming miracles, my dear freshmen.

   Fourth, as to the way to study and the key to success, I’ll like to quote a little poem entitled “Results and Roses”, which runs as follows:

   The man who wants a garden fair,

   Or small or very big,

   With flowers growing here and there,

   Must bend his back and dig.

   The things are very few on earth,

   That wishes can attain,

   Whatever we want of any worth,

   We’ve got to work to gain.

   It matters not what goal you seek,

   Its secret here reposes:

   You’ve got to dig from week to week,

   To get results or roses.

   Yes, this is true indeed: hard work,from week to week, makes the very key to success.

   Finally, I just can’t wait to see your coming success roses and I’d like to read aloud an imitated encouraging poem I composed right after my poetry class, two years ago. The title of the poem is “IF”

   If you are kind enough to help th’ needed

   And reach your hand at your heart’s inner call;

   If you can get ahead in high spirit

   And keep moving until the very end;

   If you can keep as busy as a bee

   But remain peaceful in sound and fury;

   If you can see the bright side of dark clouds

   And cheer up after each down in the dumps;

   If you can grasp the truth of honesty

   And know there is always better ahead;

   If you can tell that you have done the best

   To move to your ultimate ambition.

   Then youare different from others all

   And turn to be a real graduate, my dear!

   Thank you and all my best wishes for you!
