15、k I have done.First I should give you a short description of the UN.So, when was the United Nations set up？It was set up just after the Second World War, in October 1945 by 51 countries.Today, nearly every nation in the world belongs to the UN 192 countries altogether.The UN has four main functions：
16、to keep international peace；to develop friendly relationships among nations; to work together in solving international political conflicts and in promoting respect for human rights; and to be a centre for organizing the actions or work of different nations.As you know，the UN touches the lives of peo

19、d but voluntary, and as I said before, I visit countries where the UN has programmes to help people.So, how do I help by visiting these countries？Well, if I visit these countries, the television and press will follow and record my visits.This will increase peoples knowledge of the work of the UN.In

25、联合国也叫 UN这个名称更常用。联合国是一个国际组织，由所有愿意促进世界和平的国家组成。被选为联合国亲善大使，我一直很高兴。作为一名亲善大使意味着我要前往联合国实施扶助项目的国家。能够担当这一角色，我感到非常荣幸。我会在后面告诉你们我所做的一些工作，首先向你们简单介绍一下联合国的情况。那么联合国是什么时候成立的呢？联合国就是在第二次世界大战之后于 1945 年 10 月由 51 个国家联合组建而成的。今天，世界上几乎每一个国家都是联合国的成员共有192 个国家。联合国有四大功能：维护国际和平；发展各国之间的友好关系；协作以解决国际间的政治冲突和促进对人权的尊重；充当一个组织各国行动或工作的中心
26、。正如你们所知，联合国触及世界各地人们的生活。该组织协助终止世界上一些最恐怖的冲突。联合国没有自己的军队，而是向所属各成员国借用士兵。在这些军队和其他一些可敬的组织的协助下，联合国为战争及灾难的受害者提供援助。此外，联合国还协助保护人权，致力于改进各种国际法律，如有关童工的法律、有关少数民族和妇女平等权利的法律等。以上是对联合国的简单介绍。现在我要跟大家谈谈我一直在联合国所做的工作。我参与做的联合国的工作不是有偿的，而是志愿的。正如我前面所说的那样，我要访问联合国实施扶助项目的国家。那么，我如何通过访问这些国家来达到帮助的目的呢？是这样的，如果我访问这些国家，电视和报刊等媒体就会跟随我，并记录
27、我的访问过程。这会增加人们对联合国工作的认识。此外，我的访问还会鼓励那些致力于联合国项目的人，吸引当地人对有关状况的关注。我已访问了非洲的许多国家。最近我够幸运的，去了一次南非，在那里我见到了一些妇女。她们自发结成了团体。她们每天从每个成员那里募集大约 1.35 元，将这些钱和政府资助给她们的一些钱加在一起。这样，这些妇女就凑够了钱去购买做篮子的材料。之后，她们就将编织好的篮子拿到市场上销售赚钱。运气好的话，她们的团体会进一步扩大，或许还能开一个店铺。这样的项目可改变人们的生活，使她们有能力养活自己的家人。在联合国的管理体系中还有很多此类重要的项目，它们已经为全世界数以百万计的人提供了帮助。除了由于战争和冲突所引起的各种紧急问题外，联合国还帮助一些国家解决其他问题，如教育匮乏、饥饿、灾难、艾滋病和其他疾病等。在 2000 年召开的一次联合国会议上，所有的成员国都同意，到 2015 年争取实现八个发展目标。目标之一就是保证每个人都能喝到干净的水，因为在很多地方得把水煮沸后才能放心饮用。另外一个发展目标是保证所有的孩子都能够完成小学教育。如果你们想知道更多的情况，你们可以浏览联合国的相关网页。所以你看，由于联合国的工作，全世界的人被拉得更近了。
