第二篇：演講稿Money Is Not Everything

Money Is Not Everything

Good evening!Dear teachers and classmates, I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech.My topic is Money is not everything.Needless to say, money is not very important, but very very important.If there is no money, I can’t use this microphone to speak to you and we can’t have such a room to hold such a competition.Without money, we can’t study in such a schoolyard.Without money, we can’t live in such a hometown.Without money, we can’t have such a motherland.On the other hand, If there is no money, you don’t need to bear my speech about money now.Most of us have dreams about the future, dreams of having a good job and making much money.Surely someone has thought at times “If only I had a lot of money, I could be the happiest person in the world.” In fact it’s the main mistake that people make about money.However, is money the road to happiness? Not really!Many people work every day, work overtime, work weekends to make a lot of money.Are they happy? No.They are too busy making money.Meanwhile, They have no time to form or to maintain friendship.They even lose the abilities to relax and to enjoy themselves.Enjoying means taking things, taking time to see, to hear, to taste, to smell, to feel.They do not take time to do this.They say: “I’ll do it when I have enough money to retire” then they find that it is too late.Why we usually make such a mistake and even more mistakes? Activists say it is because of money itself.They think money has changed many things.They even regard money as the source of evil.In my opinion, it is unfair to money.Money is a tool.Well, there’s no denying that we do something harmful with money.But we can’t say money is the source of evil.Money is neither good nor bad itself.It is a mirror, a perfect and important mirror, and a mirror that reflects both the darkness and the brilliance of humanity.In other words, all depend on us.So, my fellow students, ladies and gentlemen,Money is something,but money is not everything!

Thank you!

第三篇：In Money Everything[范文]

In Money Everything?

金錢是一切嗎？

I don’t think money is everything, but we can’t do without it.Fox example, money can’t buy us happiness and a good education.And for another example, money can’t buy us good health and a long life.But we can not live without money.We need it for our daily necessities such as food, clothes and

transportation.What’s more, we need it to live a better life.In short, we should learn the value of money and make the most of its advantages.我不認為金錢就是一切，但我們不能沒有它。狡猾的例子，錢不能買到我們的幸福和良好的教育。和另一個例子，錢不能買到我們的健康和長壽。但是我們不能沒有錢。我們需要為我們的日常必需品，如食物，衣服和交通。更重要的是，我們需要它來過更好的生活?？傊?，我們應該知道錢的價值，使大部分的優(yōu)點。

Where to live —in the City or in the Country

在哪里居住在城市還是在農(nóng)村

Some people like living in the city because city life has many advantages.They think there are more job opportunities in cities, life there is more colorful and meaningful than that in the country, and there are more modern conveniences in cities for people to enjoy.一些人喜歡住在城市，因為城市生活有許多優(yōu)點。他們認為有更多的就業(yè)機會，在城市里，生命就有更豐富、有意義的國家，有更多的現(xiàn)代設施在城市的人們享受。

But some other people prefer to live in the countryside.They say life in the countryside is closer to nature and better for their health, life there is quieter and that country people are more honest than city people.但有些人喜歡住在農(nóng)村。他們說在鄉(xiāng)村生活更接近自然，更好地為他們的健康，生活更安靜，那個國家的人們更誠實比城市里的人。

I would like to live in a city when I am young to earn enough money and I live in the countryside when I am old for having a quite life.我喜歡住在城市里的我年輕時掙足夠的錢和我住在鄉(xiāng)下時，我老有一個安靜的生活。

1、It作先行主語和先行賓語的一些句型

It is not who rules us that is important，but how he rules us.3、“All+抽象名詞”或“抽象名詞+itself”（very+形容詞）

He was all gentleness to her.4、利用詞匯重復表示強調(diào)

A crime is a crime a crime.5、“something（much）of”和“nothing（little）of” “something of”相當于“to some extent”，表示程度。在疑問句或條件從句中，則為“anything of ”，可譯為“有點”，“略微”等。譯為“毫無”，“全無”。much of譯為“大有”，not much of可譯為“算不上”，“稱不上”，little of可譯為“幾乎無”，something like譯為“有點像，略似”。

They say that he had no university education，but he seems to be something of a scholar.6、同格名詞修飾是指of前后的兩個名詞都指同一個人或物，“of”以及它前面的名詞構成一個形容詞短語，以修飾“of”后面的那個名詞。如“her old sharper of a father”，可譯為：“她那騙子般的父親”。

Those pigs of girls eat so much.7、as?as?can（may）be

It is as plain as plain can be.8、“It is in（with）?as in（with）”

MONEY

A: Some people say that money is the most important thing in this world.What do you think about it?

B: Yes, I agree with you.But I am till thinking about one thing that is happening everyday on everybody.Is there anyone can live on the earth without money? The answer of course is NO!

C:Well, I don't think so.There is more important thing than money for us, such as health and happiness ,isn't it?

A: Money is regarded by some people as the most importent thing in life.It is even regarded as the symbol of wealth and social position.For example, with plenty of money a man can do whatever he wants to.He can afford expensive cars and luxurious houses, and he can travel around the world and visit as many interesting places as he wants to.In their eyes, money is everything in life.B: In my opinion, money can benefit people.we can't deny that money is useful.We need money to buy food, buy a house or pay our education cost.C: I don’t agree with you, some people try to get money by dishonest means, for example, they often cheat and gemble, even rob and kill people.Sooner or later, they will be punished by the law.Money can bring them nothing but misery.A: You know, money can not buy everything, For instance, no matter how much money one hast he can not buy good health, happiness or friendship, Although money is useful in many ways, there are still a lot of things that money can't buy in the world.B: No, It can not do everything,but if you have no money you cannot do anything.Money can make us live more comfortably.For example, with more money, we can help others and take part in more social activities and receive a good education, thus increasing our knowledge and developing our skills.C: But money can also do harm to us.If a person really thinks of money as everything and pays his attention only to money, he will lose his friends, or even the care and warmth from his family.Thus, it brings him only loneliness.A: Hmmm,anyway,money is needed everyday for living.Such as food, clothes, tuition fees and so on.But we should have a right attitute to money,right? Never trace money blindly.C:yeah, you are right.

第五篇：校園說法

一字之差的差別

2012年3月，某大學一女生在學?？吹揭换榧啍z影店在促銷藝術照的拍攝，因為覺得價格比較合理，又恰巧看中了一件白色小禮服。該女生便與這婚紗攝影店簽訂一份預訂于2012年4月19號到該攝影店拍藝術照的合同，并為此支付了100元。可是由于突發(fā)狀況，4月19日那天，該女生未能到那家店拍成藝術照，所以該女生想要回已經(jīng)支付的100元。但是該婚紗攝影店認為，雙方已經(jīng)簽訂合同，而且是該女生違約在先，并且這100元是“定金”，而不是“訂金”，因此他們沒有義務返回這100元。該女生則認為這里的100元只是預付款，并且雙方簽訂合同時，該婚紗店并沒有說明“定金”與“訂金”的區(qū)別，最后也沒有拍攝成功，婚紗店就有責任退還這100元。雙方各執(zhí)一詞，爭論不休。

（拍案說法）此案中，因為一字之差，導致雙方爭論不休，婚紗店認為這100元是“定金”，而該女生則認為是“訂金”，那這兩者之間有什么不同呢？“定金”在法律上有比較嚴格的界定。我國定金在《擔保法》上是債的一種擔保方式，在《合同法》上是承擔違約責任形式之一，其基本法律性質(zhì)是違約定金，并具有擔保合同履行的性質(zhì)。“定金”的作用有兩種情形：

1、合同正常履行時，定金充作價款或由交付方收回;

2、合同不履行時，適用定金罰則：即交付方違約的，無權收回;接受方違約的，應雙倍返還。《中華人民共和國合同法》第一百一十五條規(guī)定，給付定金的一方不履行約定的義務的，無權要求返還定金；收受定金的一方不履行約定的義務的，應當雙倍返還定金。而“訂金” 在法律上并沒有嚴格的界定，從文字的理解上來說，“訂”的含義是訂立、預訂之意，實際上它具有預付款的性質(zhì)，是當事人的一種支付手段，并不具備擔保性質(zhì)。在市場交易中，如買家不履行合同義務，并不表示他喪失了請求返還訂金的權利;反之，若發(fā)展商不履行義務亦不須雙倍返還訂金，因此如果在此案中確認是“訂金”，那么該婚紗店就有義務返還這100元。既然已經(jīng)區(qū)分了“訂金”與“定金”，那為什么還存在分歧，我們又如何判別是“訂金”還是“定金”呢？在現(xiàn)實交易中，應該根據(jù)付款時商家開據(jù)的發(fā)票，認清是“定”還是“訂”，另外就此案來說，根據(jù)我國《擔保法》91條的規(guī)定： 定金的數(shù)額由當事人約定，但不得超過主合同標準額的20%。當事人一旦以書面形式對定金作了約定并實際支付了定金，即產(chǎn)生相應的法律后果。由于該女生拿到的發(fā)票是“定金”而非“訂金”，因此婚紗店不必返還這100元，但是由于整個拍攝只有400元，而100元已經(jīng)超過主合同標準額的20%，所以婚紗店要返還超過的那部分，即20元。

因此，在我們購買商品或者接受服務前，特別是各種校園里的促銷活動，一定要看清交納的款項究竟是“定金”還是“訂金”，特別是數(shù)額較大的，一定要認真考慮清楚以后再決定。更不要一時興起過后再后悔，這樣有可能產(chǎn)生不必要的麻煩。
