王思远同学在颁奖大会上的发言
尊敬的老师、亲爱的同学们：
大家晚上好！
很荣幸今天能站在这个领奖台上接受学校的表彰。首先，我要感谢学校老师和同学一年多来对我的鼓励和帮助。同时，我也要感谢学校对我每一点进步的肯定与奖励。在今后的学习生活中，我一定再接再厉，继续努力，把自己的学业水平提高到一个新的高度。
作为枫叶学子，我相信大家和我一样，都怀揣着毕业后进入世界一流大学读书的梦想。而优秀的成绩正是我们进入名校的通行证。只有拥有出众的成绩，才有可能让梦想变成现实。成绩的取得不是一朝一夕的事情，而是一个逐渐积累的过程。在这个枯燥过程中可能有人因为自己长期的的努力收效甚微，便中途放弃，错失了跨越式前进的机会。你的努力长时间没有回报之时，往往正是由量变到质变的关键阶段。只要咬咬牙，加把劲，你很快就会收到成功伸给你的橄榄枝。
除了学习成绩之外，日常课外活动的参与也是西方大学考核的重要内容。在枫叶，学校给我们提供了丰富的机会。以诗歌朗诵比赛为代表的各种竞赛，研究性学习，社区活动和社会实践都是很好的展示自己素质的机会。我们一方面要积极参与这些活动，提高自己的见识和能力；另一方面，也要注意保留好各种原始材料，为高三申请大学增加成功的砝码。
在刚刚过去的教育展上，我零距离的接触了世界一流大学。看到了世界名校给学生提供的教育资源和发展机遇。这些都是国内普通学校所不能比拟的。同学们，从现在起，让我们一起加油，在通往世界名校的道路上开足马力，驶向成功！

Dear teachers and schoolmates,
Good evening.
It's my great honor to be here tonight, being commended for my grades in the term one exams. First, I would like to express my appreciations to our school, our teachers and colleagues. Thank you for all your help, encouragements and support over the past year. Thanks to the school for recognizing my improvement. I will work hard to keep up my level of achievement, and seek for more growth.
As a mapleleafer, I believe that everyone has the same dream as me. It is to enter the top universities in the world. An excellent grade is the entry pass of outstanding universities. We are able to bring our dreams to real life only when we have owned those marks. It is not what you can get in one day; it is a long accumulating process. When we are halfway through, many people may give up due to the same results in studies as before. I would like to tell them, when you feel to reach your limit is always when you are closest to achievement. If you choose to stop, you are abandoning a rare chance to jump on you grades. So, take a breath and keep it up. Soon you will receive the olive branch from success.
Besides academic studies, your performance in extra-curricular activities is another thing that western universities are looking at. At Maple Leaf, the school has provided us a variety of chances such as the poem reading competition, investigative study, community service and social practice. We should take initiative to participate in those activities, open up our minds and improve our abilities. Also, we need to keep all the proofs and ask for reference letters. That will undoubtedly increase our probability to be accepted to a university.
In the University Fair last weekend, we closely experienced the teaching resources and developing chances that the extraordinary universities are holding. None of the schools in China can compare with them. So guys, let's cheer ourselves up. Let's run as fast as we can towards our future success.
