facing mountain, you will feel how grand and magnificent it is; looking towards ocean, you will exclaim in surprise its people; looking up to a pine, you will certainly praise how high and vigorous it is; overlooking small grass, you must eulogize its steadfast and persevering vitality. yes, that is because there is full of a tenacious chinese nation’s will throughout thousands years on their body, that is because their body condenses a chinese nation’s essence throughout thousands years. after thousands of years, the chinese nation’s crystallization of wisdom is coruscating holily in the world, in a simple and unsophisticated way, in a solemn and stirring way, depending on its unyielding and tenacious ethos, and depending on the national spirit which is indomitable and strives constantly for self-improvement after tribulation.

dear schoolmates, think that when you extend greetings to the teacher, the older generation and guests politely; when your give your hand to your schoolmate who is in trouble; when you learned to express a self love toward your parents; when you learned to cherish every granule grain; when you learned to be more broader when treating the others; when you acknowledge your mistake; when you are surefooted to do things before your reach your dream, that all you are doing to develop and expand traditional virtue and the national spirit is.

dear schoolmates, great wall is extending under our feet, the yellow river is surging in our chest, the endless ethos flowing torrentially in our blood. match is for brightness, oil lamp is for night, we are born for our motherland. our destiny has already linked up with our motherland tightly on the way paved with our sweat and toil tomorrow. let the loud sound of the yellow river surmount our soul, let our vast black land strong our will, let us carry forward our national spirit and give our regretless youth for our motherland’s revival, peace and the unification.

isn’t true? in boundless long river of history, chinese traditional virtue and the national spirit have cast our soul; have become the chinese nation’s spirit for developing. it has also accumulated a lake of age-old morality and cultural heritage, it contains rich human being’s morality prime, it has embodied human being’s ideality for an ideal personality and the truth, it declares to the world the chinese great ethos from generation to generation for ever. our motherland has stood on the starting point of our nation’s great revival after the chinese sports delegation won the first place in the XX beijing olympic games for the first time in the olympic history.

hello, ladies and gentlemen.

i’m angela zhang from class4grade8. today, my topic is, “the shanghai world expo”. 　

first, i’ll say something about world expo history. as we know, the very first world expo, the great exhibition of1851, took place in the crystal palace in london. uk. ever since then, the goals of world expos have been both high-minded as well as commercial. visitors are able to explore the world outside of their everyday experience―outside cultures, new scientific advancements, and new inventions. world expos have excited and inspired more and more people in the world. 　

on december3, XX, the bureau of international expositions (or call it bie) announced that shanghai will host expoXX. the bie had received bids from five cities to host expoXX. among the5nice cities, the bie chose shanghai at last! it’s really an exciting news for not only shanghainese, but also all of chinese people. here are some details about it. 　 　

look at this profile carefully. the title is “the XX world exposition ,shanghai, china ”. this is the logo. 　

and the theme is “better city., better life”.ok, let’s guess who is the image representative? yeah, you’re right, yao ming! 　 　

shanghai expo is the first comprehensive world expo held in a developing country. and it is also the first one that takes “the city” as its theme, hoping that it can push forward the city development and help bring about a better urban living environment, just like the theme: better city, better life. 　

i think, as a student in shanghai, we should learn to be a gentle person and keep good manners from now on. and try to practice english more in order to communicate with foreigners fluently in the near future. because, we’re a part of shanghai!
