Ladies and gentlemen:
Good morning! Today, the title of my speech is Improving Beijing's
environment for the Olympics. Have you ever seen animals cry?
Do you know what makes them cry? It's the polluted world,
a dirty world, caused by our irresponsible behaviors, that
makes those lovely animals cry. Many of us are smart enough
to know how terrible it is to have a world without animals
and plants. But some people still persist in making the same
errors and harming the environment.
What's worse is that people are eating wild animals. Those
people don't know, and more importantly, they don't want to
know. This kind of behavior has caused some specific problems.
For example, medical experts have suggested that eating wild
animals helped spread the terrible disease SARS. Now, our
world is no longer clean and beautiful. Why? Because air,
water, and noise pollution has become more and more serious.
Noise pollution makes us talk more loudly and become angry
more easily. Water pollution makes our rivers and lakes very
dirty. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution.
Both air pollution and water
pollution are not only dangerous to our health, but also dangerous
to animals and plants. We're destroying our only world. A
large number of trees have been cut down, so a lot of lands
have been turned into deserts. Pollution can be seen everywhere!
Unquestionably it is essential that we clean up our environment.
Sadly, we've not always appreciated the importance of protecting
the environment. On the streets, you can see cars producing
smog. In the bathrooms, you can see students leaving the water
tap on after using them. Not only the young people, but also
the elderly ones throw
things everywhere without thinking it's wrong, even in a beautiful
park. These things are taking place every day, even in modern
cities like Beijing. We can't do that any more. We must learn
how to protect the environment. If everyone is aware of protecting
it instead of destroying it, the world can become cleaner,
more beautiful, and more peaceful. The theme of Beijing 2008
Olympic Games is "New Peking, New Olympic". It's
the target owned by every Chinese. We should try our best
to improve Beijing's environment for Olympics.
, let's begin to act! First, start with the things around
you. Don't throw rubbish onto the road. Don't talk loudly
when you are outdoors. Turn off the water tap after using
it. Go to school by bike or by bus instead of by private car.
Save your pocket money and contribute to environmental protection
organizations. Take me as an example, I take action in order
to make our only world full of happiness. I pick up rubbish
and throw it into a trashcan. I collect waste paper or bottles
for recycling. I plant more trees and flowers, and so on.
If you do all these things just like me, it means you have
done something useful to improve the environment. We're grateful,
because the emblem of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games is a
precious treasure dedicated to the Olympic Movement by the
people of China. Under the guidance of the Olympic spirit,
let us do a better job in all fields of our preparation and
venue construction work in an efficient way. We will combine
the Olympic Movement with the latest technology and advanced
culture to make the Beijing Games the best Olympic Games ever!
Welcome to Beijing! Thank you.
