【正文】 adies and gentlemen. It is my honor to be here to present my speech to you about the role of humanism in today’s technologically advanced world. What’s the role of humanism today? At the first sight of this topic, I felt that I had a vision of walking along a dark passage to our destination, an ideal harmonious society. Humanism, is a lighthouse on this way to guide us in case we are getting lost, together with modern technology, we are well on our way toward our destination. Like other young men, I love the inter. To be honest, I could not imagine a life without inter, which is a blessing taken by high technology. To some extent, it represents the whole world to me. I have registered some accounts on MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Renren, Weibo and so forth. It’s really amazing because these work technologies make it possible for people all over the world to municate with each other freely and conveniently. However, there are two sides to the argument, so what of the inter. While it could lighten our life, it could also turn into evil.

All of us have to spare some time for personal lives. We have to find the chance to express our emotion and love. When staying with our friends, we can release ourselves pletely. We can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry together. I should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives. As we know, we would feel lonely if we didn39。t mean we could depend on our friends all the time. There is a famous motto saying that “A friend is like a quilt with cotton wadding, but the real thing that keeps you warm is your own temperature.” It is really true.
