determination to take on responsibilities.
The most moving moment came when we were given the letters from parents. Tears rolled down my face as I read, recalling each memorable moment in my life and feeling the ever-lasting love from my parents.
At the end of the ceremony, all of us promised to try our best, not only for ourselves as adults, but also for our families and our society.
The Coming-of-Age ceremony, for me, is more than a ceremony; it is instructive lesson.
That‘s what we did on this special occasion. Do you have similar events in the USA? Please let me know if you do. Yours,

As we can see in the picture, two workers are working very hard building the railroad. When
[键入文字]
their boss comes, he is shocked to find that their tracks have failed to meet the set of tracks coming from the opposite direction. Keep your goals in mind and constantly compare what you are doing with your goals. That‘s what I‘d like to say to the men. It is easy to get lost in the details of our lives, forgetting about the way we are heading, just like the two workers buried in their present task. If they keep on working like this, they will never achieve their goals.
Make sure you are on the right track towards your goals, and you will see growth each time you make an effort.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please. Before I go on to talk about our target for the coming year, let‘s have a look at our performance over the year. Since I am in charge of our company, I‘m going to divide my review into two parts: first, financial and them technology.
On the financial front, the results have been very pleasing. The whole sale has increased by 28%, costs have dropped by 3% and profits are up by 16%. So the company as a whole has performed well. Some sales have done very well, especially in China, our largest export market. The consumer
market at home has been very competitive and will continue to be so. Our results in this market have been rather disappointing, just 2% up compared with last year. Text 10
