　　Look at us today! So many doors are open to us! I believe there have never been such abundant opportunities for self-development as we have today. The doors open to us also pose challenges. Each door is a test of our courage, ability and judgment, but with the support of my teachers, parents and friends, I believe I can meet the challenge head on.

　　Topic: The Impact of Globalization on Traditional Chinese Values

　　Champion: Xia Peng, Nanjing University

　　Our ancestors liked to build walls. They built walls in Beijing, Xi’an, Nanjing and many other cities, and they built the Great Wall, which snakes through half of our country. I have to admit that we do have many walls in China, and as we are developing our country, we must carefully examine them, whether they are physical or intangible. We will keep some walls but tear down those that impede China’s development.
