Graduation Ceremony Speech
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! Today is a special day, I’m so glad to have a precious opportunity to give a graduation speech for you. At this moment, my mood is very complex, both excited and sad.
Four years ago, we were high school students, young and energetic. But now we are college graduates, ambitious and passionate. We are going to enter society to show our talents, to start a new life and to have a bright future. Maybe some of you are worrying about jobs and some of you are worrying about the college romance. However, I firmly believe that most of you are expected to celebrate the upcoming new life.
Do you have the same feeling with me?---When I was a freshman, I wanted to get good marks. When I was a sophomore, I wanted to find a girlfriend. When I was a junior, I wished I can pass the judicial test. When I was a senior, I understood what I needed to do was to let nature take its course! Looking back now, I realize that the four-year college life is slipping away. To be honest, I start to miss all the days we spent together now—I miss the days with roommates playing on the pitch, I miss the romance with girlfriend when we whispered in the library. In a word, I miss all the dribs and drabs in the campus life.
Respectively is bitter, but we can look forward to the joy of reunion. Now, I give my best wishes to your: wish everyone a good future. Thank you！

Describe a wedding ceremony Among all the weddings I’ve ever seen, the wedding ceremony of my big sister’s impressed me most. It was a hot-air balloon wedding on October 3, 2007. It was really a nice day. The day before, we had fully prepared for the wedding: we rented a park and put tables, chairs, and things like that. My sister always said,” the wedding ceremony is one of the most important events in her life”, so I thought that was the reason why she wanted a unique one. After 15 minutes or so, we saw a hot-air balloon came nearer and nearer towards us. When it landed, to our surprise, we saw Mickey and Minnie in it! You know what, they just played roles in Disney cartoon characters by dressing their cloths! It was interesting and creative indeed! Then we had a wonderful meal in the park. It was unforgettable experience for the groom and bride, and for me!
日本茶道The Japanese Tea Ceremony You may already know that the Japanese have a special way of preparing green tea known as the Japanese tea ceremony. The tea ceremony is very complicated, and it requires several years of practice to perform it correctly. Even so, it is very popular in Japan and has become an important part of Japanese culture. The history of the tea ceremony began when tea was first brought to Japan from China in the ninth century. Three centuries later, two major events important to the evolution of the ceremony happened: Zen Buddhism was introduced to Japan and matcha (powdered green tea) became very popular. In the beginning, the preparation of matcha was a ritual performed at Zen temples. The drink was believed to have health benefits and was known to help monks stay awake during long periods of meditation. Over the years, the tea ceremony became more and more popular amongst the rich and eventually came to be practiced within all social classes.
婚礼在美国Wedding Ceremony in the US Promise to love you for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health. --- vows at wedding It all begins with engagement. Traditionally, a young man asks the father of his sweetheart for permission to marry her. If the father agrees, the man later proposes to her. Often he tries to surprise her by "popping the question" in a romantic way. Sometimes the couple just decides together that the time is right to get married. The man usually gives his fiancee a diamond ring as a symbol of their engagement. They may be engaged for weeks, months or even years. As the big day approaches, bridal showers and bachelor's parties provide many useful gifts. Today many couples also receive counseling during engagement. This prepares them for the challenges of married life. At last it's time for the wedding. Although most weddings follow long-held traditions, there's still room for American individualism. For example, the usual place for a wedding is in a church. But some people get married outdoors in a scenic spot. A few even have the ceremony while skydiving or riding on horseback! The couple may invite hundreds of people or just a few close friends. They choose their own style of colors, decorations and music during the ceremony. But some things rarely change. The bride usually wears a beautiful, long white wedding dress. She traditionally wears "something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue." The groom wears a formal suit or tuxedo. Several close friends participate in the ceremony as attendants, including the best man and the maid of honor. As the ceremony begins, the groom and his attendants stand with the minister, facing the audience. Music signals the entrance of the bride's attendants, followed by the beautiful bride. Nervously, the young couple repeats their vows. Traditionally, they promise to love each other "for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health." But sometimes the couple has composed their own vows. They give each other a gold ring to symbolize their marriage commitment. Finally the minister announces the big moment: "I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride!" At the wedding reception, the bride and groom greet their guests. Then they cut the wedding cake and feed each other a bite. Guests mingle while enjoying cake, punch and other treats. Later the bride throws her bouquet of flowers to a group of single girls. Tradition says that the one who catches the bouquet will be the next to marry. During the reception, playful friends "decorate" the couple's car with tissue paper, tin cans and a "Just Married" sign. When the reception is over, the newlyweds run to their "decorated" car and speed off. Many couples take a honeymoon, a one- to two-week vacation trip, to celebrate their new marriage.

Coming-of-age ceremony in Korea is similar to that in China. It also includes the capping ceremony for men and the hairpin ceremony for women. Traditionally, Korean men and women are admitted to be adults and can attend the ceremony when they are 20 years old. However, the government revised the constitution so that the person at the age of 19 could be allowed to take part in this special ceremony. The Koreans usually hold the ceremony on the Monday in the third week in May, aiming to cultivate adult men and women ’ s awareness of responsibility and confidence. At the beginning of the ceremony, the host will hold a short rite to show their respect to the nature. And then,the boys and girls in traditional clothes will be led to be capped by the capping assistants, which are used to be their closest relative, such as their fathers, mothers and so on. In addition,the boys will learn how to use fans as their ancestors do. And finally, the boys and girls,or we can say the men and women, will make a sincere salute to the audiences,the people caring of them, as mature adults, and get ready to burden their obligations. After the ceremony, the men will be forced to take the

Tea ceremony in China belongs to oriental culture. There is no scientific and exact definition for it. People need to be close to it and understand it through their own existence. The word “Tea Ceremony” can be dated back to the Tang Dynasty in China. China is the home country of tea. Before the Tang Dynasty, Chinese tea was exported by land and sea, first to Japan and Korea, then to India and Central Asia and, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, to the Arabian Peninsula. Today, we will talk about the Chinese Tea Culture. In the early period of the 17th century, Chinese tea was exported to Europe, where the upper class adopted the fashion of drinking tea. Chinese tea—like Chinese silk and china—has become synonymous worldwide with refined(精致) culture. China traces the development of tea as an art form to Lu Yu, known as "the Saint of Tea" in Chinese history, who lived during the Tang Dynasty and who wrote The Book of Tea, the first ever treatise(论文) on tea and tea culture. The spirit of tea permeates(渗透) Chinese culture, and throughout the country there are many kinds of teas, teahouses, tea legends, tea artifacts(工艺品) and tea customs. The Chinese people, in their drinking of tea, place much significance on the act of "savoring(品尝)." While Mr. Zhou Zuoren explained tea ceremony leisurely as, “To put it simply, the meaning of tea ceremony is to take a break from a busy life and seek joy amidst sorrow. It is to enjoy a little beauty and harmony in an imperfect reality and taste eternity in a blink.” Tea ceremony is “To regard tea as precious and gracious drink while drinking tea is a spiritual enjoyment, an art or a means of cultivating the moral character and nourishing the nature.”"Savoring tea" is not only a way to discern good tea from mediocre tea, but also how people take delight in their reverie and in tea-drinking itself. You may also imbibe it slowly in small sips to appreciate the subtle allure of tea-drinking, until your spirits soar up and up into a sublime aesthetic realm. Buildings, gardens, ornaments(装饰品) and tea sets are the elements that form the ambience for savoring tea. Atranquil(宁静的), refreshing, comfortable and neat locale is certainly desirable for drinking tea. Chinese gardens are well known in the world and beautiful Chinese landscapes are too numerous to count. Teahouses tucked away in gardens and nestled beside the natural beauty of mountains and rivers areenchanting(妩媚) places of repose for people to rest and recreate themselves.
